Belle claims that she no longer loves Shawn but Shawn doesn't believe her. They argue about how Shawn wasn't there for Belle when she needed him as well as how they truly broke up. Shawn insists that he never sent back the purity ring. Shawn begs Belle to help him figure out what happened between them. Belle turns down his request at first but then agrees to help him. John promises Brady, Kate, and Nicole that he'll go cold turkey effective immediately and Brady and Kate believe his promise. Nicole believes that John will just use the drug again as soon as they leave and begs Brady and Kate to not leave John alone. Brady asks John to prove Nicole wrong by giving them the name of the ISA doctor. Brady corroborates John's story with the doctor. Nicole still does not believe John but Brady makes her leave with him anyway. Nicole and Brady argue about John's addiction while walking along the pier. Kate returns to the penthouse for her keys and finds the extra bottles of pain medication. Julie opens a jack-in-the-box and is so angry when a replica of Bonnie pops out that she curses and twists the head off of the Bonnie doll. Hope tells Julie that she was right about Bo going off with Billie and that Bo chose to go. Julie doesn't believe that Bo would do that despite Hope's insistence. Hope defends Bo's actions and feelings for Billie to Julie. Hope feels better when she realizes that by Bo being on his way home, he chose her over Billie. Bo and Billie arrive at the family's house. They claim to be there as part of a homeland security check up due to the girl's dual citizenship. Billie and Bo exchange looks when the woman refers to the girl as Georgia. Billie blows the cover when she emotionally reacts to a portrait of Georgia but Bo is quick to explain the slip away. Billie is offended when the woman says that Georgia's mother was a drug-addicted prostitute. Billie proclaims that she and Bo are Georgia's parents and demands to see Georgia. The woman rips off her disguise, revealing that she is really a man. The two men tie up Billie and Bo while holding them at gunpoint.
Belle: I always dreamed I'd be wearing your wedding ring, not Philip's. That I'd be spending my wedding night with you. But it's not your ring. And you're not my husband. Shawn-d: Wait. You still didn't answer my question. Do you still love me? Belle: No. I don't. Philip is my husband. He's the only man I love. Shawn-d: I don't believe you. [SCENE_BREAK] Julie: Oh... that must be new. You don't see cowboy stuff anymore. Oh, when I was little, I had a Dale Evans outfit. Loved it. Ha ha. ["Yellow Rose of Texas" plays on music box] Julie: Gee, in my day, they used to pop up quicker than that. Aah! It's Bonnie. Bonnie Lockhart. My...God. First you marry uncle Mickey, now you're marketing yourself to the children of Salem? What are you supposed to be, a role model? Damn you! Damn you! Damn you! Patrick: Hope, you know better than anybody. You can't get Bo to do something he doesn't want to do. Bo is with Billie because he chose to be. Hope: Bo... will you ever really be able to let go of Billie? Julie: Hi. Hope, come in. What's wrong? Shawn isn't in more trouble, is he? Hope: No, it's not Shawn. It's Bo. You were right. Bo left the country with Billie. [SCENE_BREAK] Bo: Here we are. Number 74. Billie: This is it. This is where our daughter's living. We're just steps away from her. Bo: Maybe. Now, listen, Fabian and Didier Lemarc -- they adopted this little girl when she was 3 years old. They've been her parents for a very long time. Billie: I know. I know, I know. I just have this strong feeling this has got to be our daughter. And nothing's gonna keep me away from her. Bo... Bo: Mm. Billie: Thank you. Thanks for coming with me. Thanks for putting your trip off, especially considering what's going on with Shawn. Bo: Hey, look, this should take us about an hour, so then we'll be back on that plane and headed home to Salem. Both of us. Billie: Hopefully with Georgia. Bo: Yeah. Billie: Come on, let's go get her. Bo: Hey, hold on. Before we go charging in there, we gotta make su-- we gotta remember that these people may or may not know this little girl's history. So... we gotta keep our emotions in check until we find out exactly what the situation is. Agreed? Billie: Agreed. Bo: Good. Billie: Yeah. Bo: Let's do this. [Rings doorbell] Woman: [Speaks German] [SCENE_BREAK] John: You know, I-I'm touched that you all care enough about me to feel the need for some kind of... intervention. But, uh, the fact is, it's not necessary, because I'm not hooked on drugs. I-I do want to apologize to all of you for lashing out like I did downstairs, but you have to understand it's -- I'm tired, and I haven't been feeling all that great. And...you kinda took me by surprise. Brady: It's all right, dad. It was the drugs talking. But that's what they do to you, even the ones that are prescribed. So if you keep taking 'em, you will get addicted. John: Yeah, no worries. I don't need that stuff, anyway, so... from now on, it's, uh, it's cold turkey, effective immediately. Katherine... I said some really harsh things downstairs. Please try to forgive me. Kate: Look, I've said some harsh things in my time, too. And given that the -- the level of your pain and what went on today, please don't -- of course I forgive you. Nicole: I don't believe this. They actually believe him? Brady: Hey, dad? John: Yeah. Brady: I'm going to take off. Why don't you -- why don't you get some rest, okay? John: Yeah, yeah, that sounds like a plan. Thanks for your concern, kid. Kate: Look, um, there's a few things I have to pick up back at my place, but, uh, call me if you need me to pick up anything for you. John: Yeah, will do, thanks. Kate: Okay. Nicole: [Thinking] They're in total denial. Brady: Get some sleep. John: Yeah. Brady: You ready? Nicole: No. Don't you see what he's doing? Junkies are the best actors in the world. They have to be. I know that firsthand. Brady: Nicole. Kate: Just spare us the melodrama. Nicole: No, Brady, Brady, look, if you love your father, we can't leave right now. It -- it could cost him his life. Kate: Nicole, stop. Nicole: Trust me. Somewhere, he's got more stuff stashed, and the minute we leave, he's gonna shoot up again. No matter what promises he's made you or himself, if we don't stay here and stop him, he's going to do it again and again and again until it kills him. And do you really want his blood on your hands? [SCENE_BREAK] Belle: I don't care if you believe me or not, because you know me well enough to know I never would have married Philip if I didn't love him. Shawn-d: I know that you love me. You even told me after Philip's proposal to you. I'm the man that you're supposed to be with. Belle: No! Philip has been more of a man to me than you ever were. Shawn-d: You wouldn't know. You never even gave me the chance. Belle: This isn't about making love, Shawn. This is about standing by your woman no matter what -- about supporting her and comforting her when things are awful. This is about true commitment. But you wouldn't be interested in that. When I really needed my boyfriend -- when my mother was being accused of being the Salem Stalker, you just bolted. Shawn-d: Yeah, because you lied to me. You told me that you were with your mother the night grandpa Doug was murdered. You gave her a phony alibi. You weren't with her. Belle: Your grandpa Doug wasn't murdered. None of the victims really died. My mother was completely innocent. Look, I know what I did was wrong. It was stupid, and I take full responsibility for that. But did you ever stop to think about how scared I was? How overwhelmed? My mother was being accused of killing all those people. Shawn-d: And how the hell do you think I felt? Most of those people were members of my family, and I thought they were all dead, okay? Belle: Yes, and I was there for you when you were grieving, and you weren't there for me. You walked out of my life and right into Jan's arms. I wanted to die when she told me you two were together. How long did it take you to get over me, Shawn, huh? Shawn-d: How long did it take you to get with Philip? Belle: Philip and I were just friends until Jan told me that you two were engaged. And that is the only reason that I knew I had to stop living this fantasy and accept the fact that you and I were never gonna get back together. That's exactly when I knew how much you hated me. 'Cause that's the only reason you could have chosen to be with Jan. Shawn-d: Yeah? And why did you choose Philip? Belle: Because when I needed someone so badly, he was there for me. He stood by me. He was kind, and understanding, and supportive. He helped me through losing you and both of my parents. He stood by me, Shawn, no matter what. He did everything that you weren't man enough to do. [SCENE_BREAK] John: You know, Nicole, you've got a very active imagination. Nicole: You can lie to them, John, but not me. What was that you called me a while back -- a dirty ex-porn star? Well, you're right, thanks to my dad. And I was on drugs. I was surrounded by junkies. I know an addict when I see one, and that's you. Brady: Okay, I've had enough. Dad, I apologize for this. Nicole, we're leaving. Nicole: No, no, your father needs help. And if you two deny that and you walk out that door, then you might as well be sticking the needle in his vein yourselves. Brady: Nicole, that's enough. My father gave us his word that he does not have a problem. Nicole: What else did you expect him to say? Brady: This is the most honest man that I know. Never in my life has he lied to me or anybody else. If he says he's not addicted, I believe him. Kate: I agree. John's not only my employer, he is my friend. And when you got Victor to throw me out of Titan, and I ended up penniless on the street, it was John who hired me to run Basic Black. And he believed in me. And I believe in him. John and Marlena were always there for me, no questions asked. So I'm not asking any questions now. I agree with Brady. If John says he's not an addict, then he is not an addict. Nicole: Then you're both fools. Kate: Enough! Nicole: "I know John. I love John. I believe in John." Well, if the two of you actually mean any of that, ignore his manipulation, and help him get through this. John: Through what? I'm fine. Nicole: You're taking drugs, John. John: Was. That's the operative word. As I explained, I used them as a nerve block to ease the pain so I could walk Belle down the aisle. They were prescribed for me for that purpose. And now I have stopped. Brady: You see, he's telling the truth. Nicole: You're both enabling a druggie. Brady: Don't call him that! Nicole: Well, why not? That's what he is. So either you get used to it, or you get him help. John: Once again, I took the medication so I could be there for my little girl. She lost her mother. She deserved to have her father walk her down the aisle. And I'd do it again in a heartbeat. I would do anything for my family. Nicole: Even lie to them? [SCENE_BREAK] Julie: Hope, I told you Billie reed was up to no good. With all of this going on with Shawn, how -- how dare she? Hope: Where's Zack? Julie: Oh, Doug took him upstairs to put him to sleep. I think they both conked out. We're going to fight this, sweetheart. Billie is not going to steal your husband away. Hope: Julie... what happened to Zack's toy? Julie: Oh. Well, the little Bonnie toy, like her namesake, popped up and hit me in the eye, so losing all sense of decorum, I twisted her head off. Hope: Zack got this as a favor at Alice's. He loves this. How could you do this? Julie: I'm sorry, Hope. I'll buy him a real jack-in-the-box, the best one in town. Let's forget that. Honey, sit down. Talk to me. Where did Billie take your husband this time? Hope: Back to Europe to look for Georgia. He just called a few minutes ago. Julie: Boy, she really needs somebody to sit her down and explain that Bo is married to you, and I am just the person to do it. Hope: Julie, please. Julie: Well, you know, with Billie, the least little thing, she calls on Bo. "Oh, Bo, oh, I need your help, I need your help." Hope: This isn't the least little thing. Julie: I'm sorry. I'm sorry. It's just the -- the Bonnies and the Billies are like vultures circling over Salem preying on all the happily married men. What did she do to trick your husband into going away this time? Hope: That's just it. Billie didn't trick him. He went because he wanted to. [SCENE_BREAK] Fabian: [Speaks German] Bo: I-I apologize. Do you speak English? Fabian: Ah, yes. Billie: Oh, good. Hi, I'm agent Billie Reed with the I.S.A. This is Commander Bo Brady, Salem Police Department. We're from the United States. Fabian: What do you want here? Billie: Well, we understand that you have an adopted daughter. Fabian: Yes, that's true. She's not in some kind of trouble? Bo: Oh, no, no, no. Nothing like that. Our records show that her birth parents are Americans. Fabian: Yes, that's right. Bo: Well, there's a new protocol the United States homeland security mandates we follow regarding her dual citizenship. We just need to ask you and her some questions, if possible. May we come in? Fabian: What sort of questions? Bo: It's very basic information. Billie: Right. Is she around the age of 15? Fabian: Mm-hmm. Billie: Ah! Well, that's why her name came up. She's almost of legal age, so may we please just -- can we speak with her directly? Didier: Fabian... [Speaks German] Fabian: These people are from the American Government, Didier. They have questions about Georgia. Didier: Please, uh, come in. Billie: Thank you. Bo: Thank you. Didier: We're not used to entertaining representatives of foreign governments. Billie: Oh, my God. Is that her? Is that our girl? [SCENE_BREAK] Shawn-d: Yeah. Philip did some things I wouldn't do, all right? Like steal his best friend's girlfriend. Belle: Oh, God. No, he didn't. Shawn-d: Oh, he didn't? That's -- that's right. I forgot, I forgot. He was just there for you, right? Belle: I told you, I did not start dating Philip until you dumped me -- Shawn-d: Dumped -- du-- I never dumped you. We never even really broke up. Belle: You got engaged to Jan! You abandoned me. You left town. You didn't return my calls. You just disappeared. Shawn-d: That's 'cause I needed time to think. Belle: That's why I asked you to keep the purity ring and to only return it if we were really through. Do you realize how long I waited for you? Shawn-d: Yeah, yeah. Not long enough. Belle: How dare you say that to me? I thought my mother was killed in prison, and I didn't hear a word from you! At first I thought that you were just too angry to come back, and then I thought something really happened to you, and I cried. I cried myself to sleep every night, and the whole time, you were living with Jan Spears, and you weren't even enough of a man -- you didn't even have the decency to tell me we were through yourself. You had Jan tell me you were engaged, and you had Jan return your purity ring, and I hate you for that. Shawn-d: I never returned your ring. Belle, you have to believe me -- I would never have her do that. [SCENE_BREAK] John: I'm not lying. Nicole: Oh, no? John: You know, maybe I should make a recording. I took the painkillers so I could walk Belle down the aisle. That's the end of the story. Kate: I think that was a very loving and honorable thing to do. Nicole: The wedding was over hours ago, John. So why were you jabbing a syringe in your thigh when we broke in here, huh? You didn't really explain that one, did you? John: I already told you, I overextended myself, and I was in excruciating pain, so I took one last dose of my doctor-prescribed medication. Nicole: It's always one last dose, isn't it? Brady: Hey, dad... with all due respect, really, uh, ma-maybe you should give me the rest of your medication. John: Don't you listen to her. Nicole: He's not going to do it. He'll do anything to hold onto his stash. John: I'm telling you one last time to shut up. Nicole: Yeah. He wants me to shut up because he knows he can't con me. I'm not family, I'm not your friend, I'm not an employee, I'm not your... anything. Unlike Kate and Brady here, I am not so easily manipulated, because I don't really care what you think. John: Yeah, well, we don't care what you think, either. Nicole: You know how easy it would be for me to just say that this is not my problem and to walk out of here? Kate: Then why don't you just do it? Nicole: Because I care too much about Brady to lie to him. And I know firsthand how hard it is to accept that a father could do something so awful, and I also know how much worse it is... if you pretend that it isn't happening. Brady: Mm. Dad, I love you, and that is the only reason why I'm going to do what I'm about to do. Prove us wrong. Prove Nicole wrong. Prove that you're telling the truth. Give me the name and the number of the I.S.A. physician who prescribed your medication. Can you do that for me, dad? Can you give me that I.S.A. doctor's name and telephone number? [SCENE_BREAK] Julie: Bo went off to Europe with Billie Reed of his own free will because he wanted to? Hope, I -- I don't believe it. Hope: I didn't want to believe it, either, but it's true. Julie: Did Bo tell you this? Hope: No, Patrick Lockhart made me realize the truth. Julie: Patrick? Spawn of Bonnie? Why would you believe a word that man said? Hope: Julie... Julie, as hard as it was to hear, it makes perfect sense. Julie: Lockhart's don't make sense. Lockhart's make trouble. Hope: He's right about this. Think about it. Since Billie found out her daughter's alive, her only focus has been finding Georgia. And as a mother, I completely understand how overwhelming that must be. It becomes like an obsession. She doesn't have time right now to try to get together with Bo. Julie: Yes, she does. Bo is the baby's father. Hope: She's not manipulating him. She's not tricking him. She's not coercing him. He went because he wanted to go. Julie: For what reason? Hope: To protect Billie. Because even though I'm the woman he chose to spend the rest of his life with... he still loves Billie. He was worried that something would happen to her if she went off by herself. Classic Bo Brady to the rescue. [SCENE_BREAK] Didier: What did you mean by "our girl"? Billie: Uh, it's just that -- Bo: Agent Reed meant that, um... is this the young lady we're looking for? Fabian: But she said "our girl." Bo: Yeah, well, that's just kind of an American idiom. Billie: Yeah, I'm sorry. It's -- it's a beautiful portrait. Bo: Uh, Georgia -- that's a very pretty name, but obviously not European. Why'd you choose it? Fabian: We didn't. It was on the birth certificate, and we liked it, so we kept it. Didier: Besides, she was 3 years old. It would have been, uh, awkward to make her change her name. Billie: That is true. That is so true. May we see Georgia now, please? Didier: I'm sorry, she's not home, and won't be for a little while. Fabian: But you could stay. The water is hot, and I could make some tea. Billie: That would be nice. Bo: Sounds -- sounds nice. Didier: Please, sit down. It must be expensive, sending two people to investigate every American-born child. Bo: Well, it's actually unusual to have an American be adopted by Europeans. Did you ever wonder about that? Didier: Not particularly. We were more concerned about her background. Bo: Why is that? Fabian: Because her mother was... a drug-addicted prostitute. [SCENE_BREAK] Brady: So it's true, then, Dr. Pickens. You did prescribe this medication for my father? Mark: Yes. I was hesitant, but I prescribed a limited dose so your father could walk your sister down the aisle. But there'll be no refills. Brady: Thank you for your time. Dad, I owe you an apology. I should have trusted you. Your story checks out. Kate: I knew it. John: I never lied. Brady: The doctor said he was hesitant to prescribe the medication in the first place, and that there will be no refills. John: Exactly as I told you. Now, if you are all satisfied, I need to take a shower and hit the rack before that last shot wears off. Brady: Sure, by all means. Nicole: That's it? That's it? Brady: Nicole, you heard what the doctor said. Nicole: The doctor's I.S.A. They're buddies. John: Dr. Mark Pickens is no buddy of mine, trust me. Nicole: Well, then, you must have dirt on him. Brady: Nicole, that's enough, please. Kate: It certainly is. Nicole: Don't you see? He's still playing you. Brady: You know what? We're going to go now. Dad, we will check in with you later. Come on. Nicole: You know, you're going to regret this. Brady: Come on. Kate: Look, I am so sorry -- John: No, no. I am sorry for what I said to you downstairs. It was so uncalled for. Katherine, I don't even know how to apologize. Kate: No, no, no, no. Don't worry about it. Really, with -- with all the pain that you have been in and -- and Nicole's ridiculous accusations, and everything that happened tonight -- I just don't want you to blame yourself. Kate: Look... damn Shawn Brady for this whole thing, for crashing into the church. When I heard that motorcycle and the glass shattering and -- it's just a miracle that our children weren't killed. John: Yeah. Well, they weren't, and now they are alone together enjoying their wedding night. Kate: I know, I know. And God willing, Philip will survive being shipped out. John: He'll be fine. Kate: I'm supposed to be comforting you. John: You are. So you said that you needed to go out and get some things. Kate: Yes, I did. John: All right, hurry back. Kate: Okay, I will. Are you sure that I can't get you anything? John: No, no, I'm fine. I'm fine. I'm just -- I'm just really wiped out right now. Kate: Hey. Kate: Sweet dreams. John: [Gasping] [SCENE_BREAK] Belle: Are you saying that you did not give Jan the purity ring to give back to me? Shawn-d: Look, I am saying that I don't remember, but it doesn't sound like something I would do, not that way. I would at least try and talk to you in person. Belle: Then why didn't you? Apparently you were at the country house when she handed it to me. Why didn't you just come out of the other room and talk to me? Shawn-d: I don't -- I don't -- I don't know! I don't know. I don't remember any of it, and I wish I did, because at least then I could try and come up with some sort of explanation. I don't know why I didn't come out of that room and talk to you, but it doesn't make any sense, 'cause that's not me. You got to admit, that's not me. Belle: There are a lot of things that are not like you -- like getting engaged to Jan. Shawn-d: I don't even remember getting engaged to her. I don't even remember hooking up with her. Belle: That is a lie. You told me you remember making love to her. Shawn-d: All right, yeah, yes, there are certain things that I do remember, but I don't even know how we got together. I don't even know why I chose her over you. Belle: Neither do I. Shawn-d: Do you remember when we carved our initials into this door? We carved them as opposed to write them because we wanted it to last forever just like us. Now we're not even together, and I don't know why. Belle, I'm begging you. Please... you got to help me figure this out. You got to help me figure out why we're not together. Belle: No, no, I don't. Not anymore. Shawn-d: I have no one else to turn to. Belle: Turn to Jan. I can't keep doing this, Shawn. I am married to Philip. I can't keep replaying our past. It's over. Just accept it. Shawn-d: No, no. Not until I know why. Belle: My husband is downstairs asleep, and it would kill him to know that I was up here with you on our wedding night, so I am going back to our bed right now. Goodbye, Shawn. Shawn-d: Just -- Belle -- don't -- Belle! Belle. Belle! [SCENE_BREAK] Julie: I always thought of Billie Reed as kind of an independent kind of gal. Hope: She is. Julie: Trained as a cop, trained as an I.S.A. Agent. Hasn't she been trained to take care of herself? Hope: Yes, she has. Julie: Then why does she need Bo to protect her? Hope: She doesn't, but obviously, Bo doesn't see it that way. You know what I think? I think that somewhere, deep inside of Bo, he feels guilty for abandoning her when I came back into his life. Julie: You were his wife. Hope: Who he thought had died. Julie: Yes, but you hadn't, and it was years and years ago, besides. Hope: Julie, it doesn't matter. Don't you see? None of it matters. When I was found at Maison Blanche and returned to Salem, Bo and Billie were just about to marry. He was deeply in love with her. He -- how is he supposed to just stop loving her because I came back into his life? Julie: Oh, I can't believe this. You're making excuses for him. You think it was okay that he went off to Europe with her? Hope: I'm not making excuses. I am just... trying to understand it all. Hope: Uncle Mickey is dealing with the same thing right now. No man should ever have to choose between two wives. Julie: Well, obviously, in uncle Mickey's case, he's lost his mind. How he could even contemplate choosing between Bonnie Lockhart and aunt Maggie -- I mean, that is a mystery to me. But we're not talking about uncle Mickey, are we? My God, Hope. Do you think Bo made the wrong choice years ago? Do you actually believe that he should have chosen Billie over you? [SCENE_BREAK] Billie: What makes you think that Georgia's mother was a prostitute? Fabian: Because she was. Billie: Oh, did you know her? Fabian: No. Billie: Okay, well, don't you think that's a hell of a thing to say about your daughter's birth mother? Fabian: But unfortunately, it's true. We have seen the police reports and the -- the court files. The mother's name has been blacked out, but the charges are quite... explicit. Now, the agency did tell us that they no longer believed that the mother was, uh... in the service industry. Didier: Still, we have an old saying here -- once a whore, always a whore. Billie: Okay. You know what? She -- she may have made a few mistakes in the past, but she turned her life around once Georgia was conceived. See, Georgia was conceived in love. Didier: Sounds like you know this woman. Billie: I do know her. She's me! I'm Georgia's mother! This is her father, and we are here to see our daughter! [SCENE_BREAK] Shawn-d: Belle! Shawn-d: Belle, I need you. Without you, I'm never going to be able to figure this out. You're the only one who could fill in the blanks in my memory. Shawn-d: You know, you're right. You're right. I've got no right to ask... but I don't have a choice. I need you to help me. Belle: After everything you've done to me... Belle: I can't believe I'm going to say this, but yes. Yes, I'll help you. [SCENE_BREAK] Julie: Bo did not choose the wrong woman when he chose you. Put that thought out of your mind. Darling, if ever two people were meant to be together, it is the two of you. Hope: Thanks. Thank you for saying that. Julie: Of course. Of course. What are big sisters for? Hope: Bo and I are going to have a long talk when he gets home. Julie: Good. When will that be? Hope: Tonight. Tonight. As soon as he found out about Shawn, he said he was coming straight home, that I shouldn't have to deal with it on my own. Actually, uh, he's on the plane right now. Julie: Good. Well, good. You see, he's coming back. He chose you again. Hope: He did, didn't he? That proves that he loves me more than Billie. Julie: Of course he does. Darling, everything's going to be all right. Bo's going to come home. You'll work everything out. [SCENE_BREAK] Billie: Take us to Georgia right now. Fabian and Didier: [Laugh] Billie: What's so funny? Didier: Ha ha ha. Fabian: You. The jig is up. Bo: Oh, great. Fabian: We have been monitoring you two for quite some time. Bo: For who? The DiMeras? Fabian: Always the detective. Billie: Is that portrait really Georgia? Didier: Oh, ja. Pretty little thing, wasn't she? Billie: What do you mean, "wasn't she"? Is she still alive? Didier: Oh, certainly. Fabian: Unfortunately, neither of you will ever see her again -- not where you're going. [SCENE_BREAK] Nicole: Brady, we have to go back to the penthouse. Your father is probably shooting up right now. We have to stop him. Brady: We've been over this before, Nicole. Just drop it. Nicole: I can't. My gut is telling me that your father is an addict. Brady: I don't care what your gut is telling you. I know my father. Nicole: I thought I knew mine. Brady: Don't even try to compare the two. Nicole: I'm not. Brady: Nicole, there is no proof of anything. You know that. Nicole: Well, if your father wasn't looking to shoot up, then why was he so anxious to be alone, huh? Why was he so on edge? Brady: Let me explain something to you. My father lost the love of his life when she drowned after that tidal wave hit. He was almost killed trying to escape Tony DiMera's island, nearly paralyzed. The man can barely walk. He's in an incredible amount of pain. And on what was supposed to be the most important day of his daughter's life, Belle's wedding, her crazy ex-boyfriend crashes his motorcycle through the church window, almost killing her. I think my father has every right in the world to be a little stressed out. Nicole: Brady, look, I know this is hard for you. I know you don't want to believe that your father could be hooked on drugs. But if I wasn't so sure, and if I didn't love you, I wouldn't be pushing this, but you have to face the facts before you lose him. Brady: You don't have any idea what you're talking about, do you? Nicole: I know exactly what I'm talking about, Brady. I know how hard it is to kick it. Now, look, if we want to stop your father, we have to act fast, because after a certain point, there's nothing anyone can do. Brady: Nicole, my father is too smart to become a drug addict. Nicole: Every addict is smart, and your father is smarter than most. Look, he will talk his way around anything. The only way to force him to confront the truth is to catch him red-handed. That is why we have to go back there, Brady. We lost the battle tonight. Don't lose the war. Kate: John? I forgot my keys. Oh. Nicole was right. [SCENE_BREAK] Belle: Nothing would have happened -- I still would have married Philip. Shawn-d: I don't believe you. [SCENE_BREAK] Kate: Let me throw them away. Then I'll know that you're not dependent on them. [SCENE_BREAK] Billie: All right, you want to critique my job performance, fine, but do it later, okay? Right now we have to concentrate on finding Georgia and getting the hell out of here. [SCENE_BREAK] Jennifer: Are you sure you know what you're getting into? Hope: He's in danger. I can feel it, Jen. I may be the only one who can help him.
