Melanie continued to help Chloe deliver her baby. Caroline didn't want Stephanie to tell the truth about the baby. Stephanie thought the truth would come out eventually. Caroline thought that would be on Daniel and Chloe. She also warned Stephanie that Melanie would get what she wants if Stephanie told the truth. Brady was concerned that Rafe only worried about Arianna's camera instead of the rest of her things. He thought it had to do with EJ wanting the proof about the shooting. EJ also happened to show up at the mansion. Nicole went to see Sami so she could see Sydney. Sami refused to let her see Sydney. Nicole dropped the bomb on Sami that she knew Sami shot EJ. EJ told Brady that he and Rafe were at the mansion for the same reason. Nicole told Sami to check her email. She sent her an email video of her confession. Daniel and Philip showed up at the cabin. Daniel helped Melanie deliver the baby. Stephanie wondered if Caroline could live with keeping Philip from his child. Caroline recapped about what Philip did with Pocket. Stephanie made up her mind and called Roman to meet her. Nicole told Sami that she found Arianna's camera in Arianna's things. Sami dumped out Nicole's purse so she wouldn't show the proof to anyone else. Daniel wanted to take Chloe and the baby to the hospital. Caroline was going to go with Stephanie to meet Roman. Caroline was a little too willing to go. roman was at the hospital with Nathan and congratulated him on his engagement. He also told him that he was meeting Stephanie there. Nathan didn't know about it. EJ said he wanted a copy of Arianna's will so he could have something to remember her. Brady told him to talk to Justin about it. EJ agreed and left. Brady noticed Rafe's reaction when EJ mentioned the tape. He asked Rafe if Sami shot EJ. Sami wanted to know where Nicole had the camera. Nicole said it was on cyberspace so everyone could see it. She wanted to make a deal with Sami in order to keep the confession from getting out. Daniel told Chloe that the baby was okay. She realized that they didn't pick out a name for the baby. She asked Melanie if she wanted to hold the baby. Melanie bonded with the baby. Rafe tried to deny that Sami shot EJ, but Brady didn't buy it. He hoped that the proof was gone. Sami wondered why Nicole didn't bury her with the truth. Nicole said it was because she shot EJ. Sami realized that EJ treated her badly. Nicole recapped about her pregnancy. Sami thought Nicole didn't want to tell EJ and wanted to know what she wanted. Nicole said Sydney. Stephanie and Caroline were at the hospital. Stephanie decided not to tell Roman that Caroline switched the results. She decided to take the blame. Caroline intimated that she switched the results because she didn't want the baby raised in the Kiriakis mansion. While they were talking, Nathan, Daniel, Chloe, Philip, and Melanie showed up. Nicole wanted to be Sydney's godmother. She thought she was good to her when she was raising her. Sami reminded Nicole that Nicole is not her mother. Nicole told Sami that she was a great mother to Sydney. She said Sydney was the only child she would ever have. Nicole wanted to come up with an arrangement or else Sami would see Sydney on visiting day. When Sydney woke up from her nap, Nicole offered to check on her. Stephanie wanted to know what happened with the baby. Melanie and Philip told her that Chloe went into labor at the cabin. Rafe told Brady that EJ was blowing smoke about Sami shooting him. Brady hoped that EJ wouldn't find the proof that she did shoot him. Rafe said Sami didn't shoot EJ because she was with him all night. Sami refused to let Nicole see Sydney. Nicole decided to sell Sami out since she wouldn't let her see Sydney. Chloe wanted to thank Melanie for what she did, but Melanie didn't want to hear it. Melanie decided that she didn't want to say anything to Daniel about her affair because they baby deserved to have two parents. Philip bonded with the baby while Stephanie and Caroline watched. Sami stopped Nicole from leaving so she could talk to her. Nicole told her that she only wanted to spend a little time with Sydney. Sami thought it wouldn't work, but Nicole had a better idea. She said Sami noticed a change in Nicole so she could spend time with Sydney. Sami thought she would be stuck doing whatever she wanted for the rest of her life as long as she had the tape. Nicole told her that she would have her freedom, but Sami didn't want to be blackmailed by her. When Nicole was about to leave again, Sami stopped her again. Daniel wanted to name the baby Parker after his mother's maiden name. Philip told Melanie that he was ready to be a father. Caroline asked Stephanie if she were ready to tell the truth. Roman interrupted the conversation. Stephanie decided not to say anything. Caroline told her she did the right thing. Stephanie thought she did the right thing for now. Brady was worried about what EJ would do to find the proof. Sami shoved Nicole and Nicole ended up hitting her head on a table and passed out.
Chloe: Ah! Melanie: Okay, great, great. You're doing great. I can see the neck is and-- oh. Oh, no. Chloe: Oh. Oh, no, what? What! Melanie: Uh, the baby's face is, uh-- Chloe: He's what? Tell me, Melanie! Melanie: Well, it's blue. It's blue. Chloe: Blue? What does blue mean? Melanie: It means that the baby's not getting enough oxygen. Chloe: Well, is the-- is the baby dead, is it-- Melanie: Daniel's gonna be here any minute, so-- Chloe: Well, it's too late then. What if it's too late? Melanie: Oh, Chloe, please, just shut up and push. Shut up and push. Push! Chloe: I don't care what happens to me, just save my baby! Hoo, hoo. [SCENE_BREAK] Caroline: Darling. Your mother's in Africa. You and I are the only ones... that know Melanie's husband is Chloe's baby's father, so-- everybody's so happy now. Why change it? Stephanie: Grandma, you're the one who changed the results. You're not a little bit scared? I mean, that was, like, a sin. Caroline: I saved two marriages. Stephanie: Mom was right. Daniel is a doctor and there is a huge chance that he could figure this out. Caroline: [Sighs] Well, if he does, then that's between himself and his wife, you know? And you won't be the one who ruined everything. Maybe Chloe will be bright enough to keep her mouth shut... about who the baby's father is. And then, you could marry Nathan. Stephanie: This feels like a trick. Caroline: The tricky one is Melanie. The nerve of her. She sent your young man a letter on the day she was marrying Philip? Stephanie: Yeah, because she likes to keep both Philip and Nathan on a string. Caroline: Mm-hmm. Well, you tell the truth, and Melanie's gonna get exactly what she wants. [SCENE_BREAK] Brady: Look, I know Arianna didn't want me to have all of her stuff, Rafe, it's-- she just, um-- Rafe: Thought she had more time. Brady: Yeah. And changing your will at her age isn't exactly a priority, so I mean, you should have this stuff. Your mother, your sister. There's letters, there's this jewelry, there's some photos in here. Rafe: No camera, huh? Brady: No camera. Rafe: Are you sure? Brady: Rafe, hey-- come on, I'm talking about the stuff that was precious to your sister. You keep talking about this camera, what is this? Rafe: Yeah, look, it's, um-- Brady: Is it the fact that Arianna had proof as to who shot EJ? Is that it? Rafe: [Scoffs] Listen, I don't know what the hell EJ's been telling you-- Anderson: Sir. Mr. DiMera is here. Mr. EJ DiMera. [SCENE_BREAK] Sami: What are you doing here, Nicole? Nicole: I'd like to see Sydney. Sami: You're dreaming. I'm not gonna let you or EJ anywhere near my daughter. Nicole: See, that's where you and I disagree because I think that Sydney's going to be back in my life and with your blessing. Sami: You're delusional. Nicole: No, I've been thinking clearly now. More than I have the last few months. Sami, I know everything. Sami: Everything about what? Nicole: About how you shot EJ. [SCENE_BREAK] Melanie: Okay, okay good. That was good. Uh, the baby keeps slipping back into the birth canal, so maybe I need to change your position or something. Chloe: Oh, Melanie, you don't want this baby to come because you know how horrible I've been. Melanie: Oh, Chloe, really? Maybe you've slipped into a delusional state. Chloe: I cheated on your dad and now my baby's gonna die. Melanie: I know, I know what you did to my dad, but that has nothing to do with what's going on right now. So stop screaming and acting all crazy on me and push, because your child needs you. Now push! Chloe: Aah! Melanie: Go, push! [SCENE_BREAK] Brady: It's okay, Anderson. Anderson: Yes, sir. Brady: Well, whatever's on your mind, it must be important for you to wander on enemy turf, EJ. EJ: [Snorts] Look, when we spoke this morning, Brady, that was before we knew about this, uh, videotape. That's why I'm here. And no matter what Rafe says, that's why he's here too. [SCENE_BREAK] Sami: Well, I guess you've been talking to EJ. Nicole: Oh, yeah. We're kind of like this now. Sami: Really? That's surprising. You should know better than anyone that you can't trust him and what he's capable of. Nicole: I do, yeah. But what I know I didn't learn from EJ. Sami: I don't know what you're talking about. Nicole: [Laughs] You know what? This is really fun... watching you try to cover your backside when I know for a fact that you are lying through your teeth. Sami: Don't try to bluff me, okay, Nicole? Nicole: I'm not, I'm not. I'm not trying to do anything. Actually, what I would like you to do is check your email. Sami: What? Nicole: Yeah. Go ahead. You'll see what I'm talking about. Sami: What? Nicole: Mm-hmm. It's the one from N. DiMera, which is me, of course. Right? I sent you a video. Don't you wanna see it? It's a real blockbuster. [SCENE_BREAK] Melanie: Okay, that's good. Shoulders are out. Here we--here we go. Push. Good, good. Hey. Chloe, you've got a boy. Chloe: Ah! Melanie: Hi. Hey. Okay. Chloe: Oh, my God. Daniel: All right, hang on. Chloe: Is he all right? I don't hear anything. Melanie: Well, he hasn't gotten a lot of oxygen. Daniel: You did a great job, Melanie, you did a great job. We just need to suction his mouth, okay? Hang on. Here we go. [Baby crying] Chloe: Oh! Oh, thank God. Oh, thank God. Daniel: Hey, he's beautiful. Oh, your first nursing crisis, and you did an amazing job. Chloe: [Laughs] Daniel: You did. Chloe: Oh, my God. Daniel: How are you doing, honey? Chloe: Oh, I'm fine, I'm fine. I just wanna hold him. Daniel: There you go, baby. Come here. I want you to meet, uh... our son. Chloe: Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Daniel: It's okay. Chloe: Hi. Ooh, hi. Hi, honey. [SCENE_BREAK] Stephanie: So it doesn't bother you that Philip doesn't know he's going to be a father? Caroline: Oh, please. Your parents were gonna adopt his last kid. And what did he do? Give it away to strangers. Stephanie: People can change. Caroline: Even if they made a mess of it themselves? Stephanie: Even then. Caroline: [Sighs] Okay. Okay. Go ahead. You know, tell Philip. Tell everybody on the planet about it. Tell him that the baby's father is not Daniel. Yeah, sure. It's no big deal, you know? Just four lives ruined and... maybe your own. And what's the worst thing is, you're bringing another Kiriakis into this world. Stephanie: I've already made up my mind. That's what I'm gonna do. I called Uncle Roman and we're meeting up. I just wanted to let you know that. [SCENE_BREAK] Nicole: What's the matter, Sami? You computer impaired or something? Here, let me help you. Sami: I had to stop him. The next thing I know, I had that gun in my hand and I pulled the trigger. I shot him. But now you know why. I mean, you have to see why, right? Understand why I had to do it. How did... how did you get this? Nicole: How do you think? Poor Arianna's little video camera. Sami: You found it. Nicole: I know. What a stroke of luck, huh? I mean, sometimes things just fall right in your lap. Sami: How did you get it? Nicole: Brady and I went to the bank vault, and I was the first one to look in the box. Sami: So Brady knows about this too? Nicole: No, no. He doesn't have a clue. And I'm guessing that no one else does, because you're not behind bars. What are you doing? Sami: Getting rid of that camera, making sure you don't show it to anyone else. [SCENE_BREAK] Daniel: As much as I'd love to stay here, I just got off the phone with the hospital, and they have a room for you in Maternity. Chloe: Mm, but I feel fine, and the baby's all nursed and everything. Daniel: Oh, I know. But you both need to be checked out. Chloe: Mm. Okay, Doc. You hear that? Daddy says we have to go to the hospital. Daniel: Yeah, and when you get a little older, you and I need to have a talk about timing. You scared the hell out of me, dude. Chloe: [Laughs] Yeah. Just wait until he's 16 and driving a car. Daniel: Oh, my God. Well, you and I had a son. And we have his whole life... to look forward to. [SCENE_BREAK] Caroline: I hope you're ready for the fallout. Stephanie: I have to be. Caroline: Well, you know, if Roman Brady's gonna put his own mother in jail, I'll have to hire a lawyer. So...I will. So where are you meeting him? Stephanie: In the hospital. He has to interview a patient. He's a witness for something, I don't know. Caroline: Very good, then. Let's get it over with. Stephanie: You're coming with me? Caroline: Well, of course-- I promised your mother I would look after you. So of course, I'm coming with you. Stephanie: Then let's go. Caroline: [Laughs] [SCENE_BREAK] Roman: I appreciate you letting me talk to your patient. Is she gonna be okay? Nathan: Uh, well, she's out of the ICU, but she had a massive coronary. Roman: Well, if you kept books for the rat bastard she worked for, you'd have a heart attack too. Nathan: Huh. Well, I hope you nail him. Roman: Give him my best. My sister tells me that, uh, congratulations are in order. Nathan: Yeah, yeah. Step and I are really excited. Roman: You be good to her. Nathan: Well, that shouldn't be a problem. Roman: I guess she told you that she and I are having a meeting today. Nathan: No, she didn't, actually. She didn't mention anything. I didn't know anything about it. [SCENE_BREAK] Brady: What videotape are you talking about? EJ: The videotape, uh, of the will. Rafe: Oh, what's the problem, EJ, huh? Looking for a bigger share of the estate? EJ: No. Actually, I, uh... I just realized I don't have anything to remember Arianna by. Rafe: [Snorts] EJ: So I was hoping that I could have got a copy of the will, if that would be okay with you, Brady. Brady: You'll have to take that up with Justin. EJ: Right. Of course. Do that. Rafe: Yeah. EJ: These are her things, are they? Rafe: Yeah, they are-- Brady: They are her things. Rafe: If you're gonna paw through 'em, that's not gonna happen. EJ: Nothing could be further from my mind. Thank you, Brady. Good of you to see me. Brady: Hmm. Seems like you and, uh, EJ are after the same camera. Rafe: I have no idea what goes through his mind. Brady: Rafe, look, I saw the look on your face when you mentioned the videotape. EJ told me that he... he saw the accident. She was arguing with Will. This is right after she called him and told him that she had proof of who shot him. That's why she ran out in the street. That's why what happened to her happened. And now you're being really casual about this camera. Again and again. Rafe: You're really taking stock in what he says? Brady: Rafe, I hate that guy. I hate that guy. Like my grandfather says, even a broken clock is right twice a day. Rafe: [Chuckles] Brady: Sami shot EJ, didn't she? [SCENE_BREAK] Sami: Where the hell is the camera, Nicole? Nicole: Do you really think that I would bring it here? What does it matter, anyway, Sami, huh? I mean, I downloaded the video so all of cyberspace can watch you spill your guts. Like this: Arianna: After you realized what you had done, you must have been horrified. Sami: I really didn't process it right away. I mean, I just got out of there and I... remember being at the pier. And... I mean, there was a gun in my hand, and I just freaked out, and I threw it in the river, and then I ran back to Rafe's. Nicole: Now I'm no expert, but if they do drag the river and find the gun, I heard that they can still pull fingerprints off of it. What do you know? After all this time, you're going away. Hey. Do me a favor. Tell all my homies at the women's prison I said, wassup? What are you doing now? Sami: I'm deleting the email. I do not want my children to wake up and hear it. Nicole: Ah, yeah. All right, knock your socks off. But you should know... that I do have that downloaded in other files, right? So unless we can come up with some sort of deal, Sami, I'm ready to go viral. [SCENE_BREAK] Chloe: You sure he's okay? Daniel: I checked him out. His heart and his lungs are just fine. Chloe: Hmm, but he's a month early. Daniel: He's over five pounds. That's good. Chloe: We don't have a name picked out yet. Daniel: [Laughs] Honey. Honey, we will figure all that out at the hospital. Okay? We should get him out. Chloe: Mm. I hate to take him outside. It's so cold. Melanie: Oh, uh, there are some blankets in the closet that'll keep him warm. Chloe: Melanie, you've been really amazing. Do you wanna hold him? Melanie: Uh, y-- sure. Yeah, um... all right. Come here. Uh, oh, gosh. Chloe: Hold his neck. Melanie: Ooh. Daniel: Okay. Melanie: Hi. Hi, sweetie. Guess what? I'm your big sister. And I'm gonna spoil you. 'Cause I don't have to follow any of the rules. Chloe: Melanie. He will always hold a special place in your life, and in mine. I owe you so much. Daniel: Sitting here with the woman I love, watching you hold our son, I... I didn't think it was possible to feel this happy. Philip: Seems like we oughta get a picture of the happy family. Melanie: Yeah. Philip: Right? Melanie: Yeah, look. I'm gonna give you back to Daddy. Okay. All right, oh-- all right. Philip: All right. Everybody smile. [Shutter clicks] [SCENE_BREAK] Rafe: Now listen, I have no idea where the hell you got the idea that Sami shot EJ. Brady: Rafe, listen. I told you. I hate EJ. I hate what he did to Sami, I hate what he has done to Nicole, I hate the fact that the son of a bitch refers to Arianna as his friend. Rafe: He was using her. He's the reason that she's dead, you know that, right? Brady: I don't care... if Sami did it or if she didn't do it. I'm just hoping that whatever proof Arianna had, I hope it's gone. [SCENE_BREAK] Sami: So, um... you could nail me with this whenever you want. Why haven't you? Nicole: Well, you know, there were... extenuating circumstances. It was EJ you shot. Sami: Yeah. He treated you badly. Nicole: [Chuckles] I was always walking on eggshells around him. Sami: Well, that's how he gets his power, by making you feel unsure of yourself. Nicole: And I didn't dare tell him I lost our baby, because I knew I'd be out on my tail. Sami: For something that you had absolutely no control over. Nicole: Exactly. Sami: So look, Nicole, you don't want to tell EJ what I did. Nicole: No. But you have to do what I say. Sami: What do you want? Nicole: I told you. Sydney. [SCENE_BREAK] Stephanie: Before we talk to you, mind if I have a minute alone with Grandma? Roman: Uh, sure. I need to talk to a couple people down the hall anyway. So, uh, I'll be back when I'm done. Stephanie: Perfect, thanks. I just wanted to tell you that I decided I'm not gonna tell Uncle Roman that you switched the paternity results. Caroline: What? Stephanie: I'm gonna tell him that I did it. Caroline: Why would you do that? Stephanie: Because the only reason you did what you did was because I was whining about Melanie and Nathan. Caroline: Oh, darling. You didn't whine, and it's not all about you. I mean, you realize that I have a history... with the Kiriakis family. I just couldn't stand seeing an innocent baby being brought into that criminal household and raised by a lousy father. Stephanie: You don't know that about Philip. Caroline: [Sighs] Stephanie: Look. You and Grandpa worked through him finding out about Uncle Bo. Okay? If Melanie and Philip and Daniel and Chloe are meant to be, then they'll work through this. Caroline: Darling, it's hardly the same situation. But look. Daniel is Melanie's father. And Melanie's husband is the father of Chloe's baby, I mean-- now you look me in the eye and tell me if you think that could work out. Nathan: Hey. Stephanie: Hi. Caroline: Hi. Nathan: I heard you, uh, set up a meeting with your Uncle Roman. Stephanie: Yes. And I need to go and find him and...and talk with him, actually. Daniel: Hey. Nurse: Dr. Jonas. Daniel: Hey, my wife was just admitted here, and she's got a room on this floor. And that baby beneath the blanket is our son. [SCENE_BREAK] EJ: Yes. My name is EJ DiMera. I'm named in a will that was drawn up by Mr. Kiriakis. Uh, the client's name was, uh, Arianna Hernandez. Yes, look, I was hoping to get a copy of the will, if that's possible. Well, I don't frankly care if it's not something you usually do. Right, well, uh, why don't you just have Justin call me, okay? He has my number. Okay. [Sighs] Come on, Arianna. What did you do with that evidence? It just didn't vanish into thin air. Wait a second. [SCENE_BREAK] Sami: You want Sydney. Nicole: Okay, relax, I don't want custody. I just... I want to be a part of her life, you know, like a... like a godmother. Sami: You want to be Sydney's godmother? Nicole: Look, I was good with her, and I was so happy being her mother. Sami: You're not her mother, Nicole. You're not her mother. You are the woman who kidnapped her. Twice. Nicole: You weren't exactly thrilled about having EJ's baby, so I thought I was doing you a favor. Sami: A fa-- Nicole. I went into hiding to protect Sydney. To protect my child from EJ, from Stefano. Nicole: Okay, that-- that's true, all right? I see your point now, but-- but back then, I just wanted to give EJ his own child. Look, I was the first mother that Sydney ever knew. [Sighs] Sami. You spent time with us. You have to admit, I was a great mother. And when I lost my baby, I was told that I could never conceive another child, and with my... curriculum vitae, I... will never be able to adopt a child. And so Sydney, she... she's it for me. Sami: Nicole, I did everything to protect Sydney from EJ. And I did not do all of that just to hand her over to you, not even for five minutes. Nicole: Yeah, you, uh, protected her from EJ all right. By shooting him in the head when he was drunk and passed out. Look. Unless we can come up with some kind of arrangement, the only time you're gonna see Sydney is during visiting hours. If you're that lucky. [Sydney babbling] Nicole: Oh, she's up from her nap. Look, you know, you just stay right there. I'll go check on her. [SCENE_BREAK] Nathan: Yeah, well, I should get him down to the NICU. Chloe: Mm, I hate to see him go. Daniel: Oh, you'll get him back real soon. Listen, he's in good hands. Nathan: That's right. Little Jonas here is gonna be VIP up in this joint. All right. Daniel: All right, hot mama. Let's get you settled in, huh? Stephanie: What happened? Melanie: Uh, Chloe had a little downtime at the Horton cabin and went into labor. Stephanie: Alone? I mean, the cabin's on, like, an island. Philip: Uh, Melanie was with her. Daniel and I got there just as the baby was being delivered. Stephanie: So you were there when Chloe delivered her baby? Philip: Mm-hmm. Something wrong with that? Stephanie: No. No, I mean-- I just can't imagine what it would be like walking in on a delivery that just must have been-- Philip: It was intense. It was. I mean, one minute, Chloe was in all this pain, and the next, there was a little baby in the world. Melanie: Yeah. [Laughs] Thank God you guys came when you did, I was a little freaked out. Philip: But everything worked out great. [SCENE_BREAK] Rafe: Brady. EJ's just blowing smoke. We found out that he had kidnapped Sydney and so now Sami's gonna get full custody of the kids. Brady: Good, it's about time. Rafe: I agree. But the point is, EJ's gonna do anything and everything possible to get back at Sami. Brady: [Sighs] Well, then EJ had better not find whatever Arianna said she had. I mean, if he can prove that Sami shot him, her life isn't gonna be worth anything. Rafe: Well, she didn't shoot him. She was with me the night EJ was shot, and there's no way EJ can prove otherwise. [SCENE_BREAK] Sami: No, no. You are not getting near my daughter. Nicole: Fine. Fine, then have fun in the big house, Sami. Oh. And, uh, you should know that there's this really big guard named Della. If you give her a back rub every night, maybe rub her feet, paint her toes once in a while, she won't make you clean the toilets as often. But you probably already knew that 'cause you've been inside, right? You know, going to prison... it's gonna feel like a bubble bath compared to what EJ would do to you if he ever sees that video. And you spent enough time with the DiMeras to know that they don't take kindly to being shot and left for dead. Sami: The same DiMeras that you are going to give custody to. You put me away and EJ gets custody of Sydney. You want that? Nicole: No. But I tried to make a deal with you... and you wanna play hardball. So if you'll excuse me, I have a story to file. Which I will probably win an Emmy for. But that's nothing compared to holding a child in your arms and feeling her cheek next to yours. But that's better than nothing. Which is what you're about to have. [SCENE_BREAK] Melanie: [Clears throat] Chloe: Oh, Melanie, hi. Melanie: Hey, sorry. Um, am I interrupting? Daniel: Yeah, well, just kind of. That's okay, come on in. You know what, I gotta get down in ICU and check on our baby. I'll be back as soon as I can. Chloe: Okay. Daniel: Okay? Oh, come here. Chloe: Mm. Daniel: Love you. Chloe: I love you. [Sighs] Hey. You know, I'm actually glad that we get to have a moment alone. I don't know how to thank you enough for what you did. Melanie: Don't. Please don't...do that. I did it for my little brother. Yeah. I don't know, I looked into his eyes and I... I'd do anything for him. Chloe: I know. I had that same reaction. Melanie: That little baby deserves to have something that I never got. That's to have parents who are together and love him and would do anything for him. Chloe: Wait, does that mean-- Melanie: That I'm not gonna tell Daniel. Yeah, it does. [SCENE_BREAK] Daniel: Philip. Do you wanna hold him? Philip: Is it okay? Daniel: Well, we wanna keep him here for a couple days, but he's doing just fine. Make sure you support the baby's head, okay? [Baby starts crying] Philip: It's okay, it's okay. [Baby stops crying] Daniel: Well. What do you know? You're a natural. [SCENE_BREAK] EJ: Why this? What does this mean? Oh, come on, what are you trying to tell me? Sorry. [SCENE_BREAK] Sami: Wait. Nicole: This better be good. Sami: Nicole, these are my kids. Four children, and you are going to leave them without a mother. Nicole: I have the goods on you, Sami... but I'm not asking a lot from you. I just wanna be a part of Sydney's life, a small part. Maybe just send her birthday cards or take her to the park or a kid's movie once in a while. Sami: Are you kidding? That would never work! People would... they would figure it out. EJ would figure it out. Nicole: Not if we do it right. We'll just tell them that we had a heart-to- heart and that you saw how sorry I was for what I did and how much I truly love Sydney. And I'll say that you... you have this sudden burst of generosity, and you want me to have a second chance. You want me to turn my life around. And we'll take it slow with Sydney. Give her a chance to get to know me again. Maybe I can have... a sleepover with her or take her on a little trip. Sami: And then what? And then you have her move in with you? She starts to call you Mommy? And it never ends, because I never get to say no, because you're holding that recording over my head? Nicole: You'll have your freedom. Sami: Freedom. God, Nicole, what freedom will I have? You will have complete control. My life will be hell, and you will turn my daughter against me. Nicole: Only you can do that. Sami: Really? Or you can, when you play the tape, and she hears my voice saying that I shot her dad. And then she will hate me. But it's okay because you're there... and she'll turn to you. Nicole: You should have thought about Sydney before you pulled the trigger. Sami: [Scoffs] Nicole: Ooh! [SCENE_BREAK] Melanie: Oh... who do you got there? Philip: Oh, this kid? This is my brother-in-law. Melanie: Oh. Philip: We made a date to go drinking. Melanie: Oh, no kidding. Daniel: In about 21 years. Melanie: He looks like he's gonna be a heartbreaker. Philip: Yeah. Daniel: Who's got a very impatient mommy waiting, so... Philip: Here. Daniel: Thank you. Thank you. Chloe: Yay. [Gasps] That was fast. Hi. Daniel: He needs to gain a little weight, but other than that, he's perfect. Just like his mother. Chloe: Ooh. Well said. So have you thought of any names yet? Daniel: As a matter of fact, I have, yeah. Chloe: You won't let me name him Daniel, Jr.? Daniel: You mean, little Daniel and big Daniel? It's just not working for me. Chloe: [Giggles] Okay. What are your ideas? Daniel: Well, more than anything, my mother wanted grandchildren. And since she's not alive to see them, well, what if we named them after her? Chloe: Hmm. You wanna name our son Lillian? Daniel: No, smart aleck. Her maiden name was Parker. So I thought maybe we could name him Parker. Chloe: Parker. Hmm. Well, I think you oughta get a vote on this, what do you say? Parker Jonas? Yeah? I think he likes it. Daniel: I think so. Mm. Chloe: Mm. Parker. Yeah. Stephanie: Come here. [SCENE_BREAK] Melanie: Hey. Philip: Hey. Melanie: You're really into this baby, aren't you? Philip: Yeah. Yes, I am. Melanie: That's sweet. Philip: Yeah. And holding him just now made me realize... I'm ready to be a father. [SCENE_BREAK] Stephanie: [Sighs] Caroline: Well? Still feel the same way about telling the truth? [Approaching footsteps] Roman: Hey. Well, I hope I didn't keep you waiting too long. Caroline: Oh. Roman: Stephanie, you okay? What's wrong? Stephanie: Uh... no, I--no, I'm fine, I just-- I haven't eaten lunch today. Yeah, I'm a little dizzy-- I'm fine now. Roman: Okay, um... you still wanna have our talk? Stephanie: You know what? It's not even a big deal, and you probably have work to get back to, so. Roman: Actually, I do. But if you change your mind-- Stephanie: I know where to find you. Roman: Okay. All right, I'll see you both later. Caroline: Bye, darling. Stephanie: [Whimpers] Caroline: You did the right thing. Stephanie: For now. For as long as I can. [SCENE_BREAK] Rafe: Well, there's no proof in here who shot EJ. No journals, no videos, no nothing. I already searched her car, her jewelry box. There was nothing there either, so... whatever Arianna had or... thought she had must have died when she did. [SCENE_BREAK] Brady: I don't think EJ's buying it. Arianna's dead. He's lost his kids. He lost Sami. The guy's got nothing to live for anymore. There's no telling what he might do. Rafe: You're right. [SCENE_BREAK] Sami: Nicole, you are not gonna take my daughter, do you hear me? Nicole: Stay out of my way. Sami: No! No! I'm not gonna let you do-- Nicole: Oh! Sami: Oh, my God. [NEXT_ON] Chad: I'm gonna find out the truth, one way or another. Jennifer: I came back here to get you the hell out of here. Sami: Rafe, I think she's dead.
