Hope confides in Justin that she fears she made a big mistake moving into the mansion. Victor sees the two talking and grows angry, calling Bo to demand he beg Hope to come home. Bo refuses. Hope later tells Justin that she is willing to move back home if Ciara can't handle being separated from Bo. Meanwhile, Carly tells Bo that she killed Lawrence in self-defense, and is on the run from his men. She informs Bo about a degenerative illness that Lawrence contracted shortly after their marriage, and how it made him do a lot of crazy and evil things. Bo agrees to help Carly provided that she tells him the whole story. Nathan decides to move into Lucas' place. Maggie ends up talking to Lucas and apologizing to Nathan and Melanie for the way she acted towards them. They both forgive her, but Nathan decides to move out, anyway. Stefano decides to talk to both EJ and Nicole and tell EJ the whole story, but Kate interrupts. Stefano decides to wait until the next day, after he gets some rest. He threatens to kill Nicole if she leaves town before then. EJ tries to get the story out of Nicole, but all she will say is that Stefano forced her to come back here, and that she thinks something is off with him mentally. She tries to get EJ to hold Sydney, but he refuses.
Carly: Oh! Bo: [Grunts] You just made a really big mistake. Carly: Hey. Sorry to drop in on you like this. Bo: What the hell are you doing here? Carly: [Panting] [SCENE_BREAK] Hope: I'm sorry they don't have chocolate chip ice cream, honey, but you like vanilla, don't you? Just try it. You'll like it. I know you will. Justin: Do you want me to run out to the store and get her something different? Hope: No, it's not the end of the world. Although it looks like the end of the world, doesn't it? I have an idea. I have a really good idea. Why don't you go see if Grandma Caroline has chocolate chip cookies? Does that sound like a good idea? Okay. You can have two. Go tell her. I know she doesn't want to move. Maybe we shouldn't have stopped and just pulled the band-aid off fast. Justin: You know, when you refer to moving into the mansion as "pulling off the band-aid," it makes me think that you're not too certain about the move yourself. Hope: I just can't stop thinking about what Bo said. What if this is a mistake? A huge one? [SCENE_BREAK] Lucas: Not exactly sure when I'm gonna get out of here, but they're talking about me going home. Nathan: That's great, man. I mean, they wouldn't talk about it if you weren't doing good there, so... Lucas: Yeah, you know, it's just one day at a time. Nathan: Hey, you know, if you're coming home, maybe I should hold off on moving in to your place. Lucas: No, you know what? Go ahead. Go ahead and move in. It'll be nice, you know? Least I won't come home to an empty house. Nathan: Yeah. Okay, you sure? Lucas: Yeah, positive. Nathan: Cool, 'cause I was, uh, sort of planning on moving in tonight, so... Melanie: You were? When were you gonna tell me that? [SCENE_BREAK] Stefano: I am not gonna let my son lose his daughter. Nicole: I don't want that, either, but Sydney and I are a package deal. You don't get one without the other. And if you try to cut me out of the picture, I will not hesitate to tell EJ that you knew about the baby switch all along. You'll lose your son. EJ: What the hell is going on here? Nicole: EJ. EJ: Samantha said that you left town. So what are you doing here? Stefano: I asked her to come. Nicole: He was very persuasive. Stefano: It appears we have to discuss the truth...ahem. The entire truth. [SCENE_BREAK] Carly: Could you do me a favor? Could you get off of me? Bo: Well, I see you haven't changed, barking orders, making demands. Carly: We can't talk like this. Bo: Oh, you want to talk. You know, sometimes when I want to talk with somebody, I make a call, give them a heads up. Carly: You are really cranky. Bo: And if I can't reach them, you know, I use a doorbell. Carly: Okay, look, I just didn't want anyone to know I was here, okay? And Justin wasn't home. Bo: Yeah, Justin's a little busy with his new moving business. What are you doing here anyway? In Salem, in my living room, looking like Agent 99? Carly: I came here because my life is in danger. [SCENE_BREAK] Nicole: Look, EJ, I just talked to Lexie, and she said that your father can't deal with the stress right now. E.J.: That's why I'm just about to strangle him. You okay? Nicole: Look, you know, why don't you and I go outside and talk? Stefano: No, Nicole. I didn't bring you back here so that you and Elvis can talk in the hall. EJ: You brang her back? You--father, her being away was a very good solution to a rather difficult problem. I was quite happy to never set eyes on you again. Stefano: And your daughter, Elvis, hmm? I mean, Nicole could come and go as she pleases, but Sydney is a DiMera. She belongs in our house with her family around her. EJ: Father... she's not a DiMera. She's not my daughter. Stefano: Well, uh, you did what you did, then you... you made a very rash, dramatic decision, because you don't know the whole story. Nicole, are you gonna tell him, or am I? [SCENE_BREAK] Justin: Ciara's not the only one that hasn't smiled all day. Hope: Yeah, just-- all those things that Bo said about moving into Victor's house, he has a point. Justin: So do you. Hope: He's just so adamant about it. Justin: Well, he's hurt, he's upset, and I understand that. And you're trying to do what's best for you and Ciara. Hope: I thought I was. I think I am. Am I? Justin: And now you're starting to doubt yourself. Hope: Yeah, I am. Justin: Is that why we're here? So you might just bump into Caroline and feel even worse about it? Hope: I'm confused. Caroline-- I've always been able to talk to her. She probably hates me... or hates if she knew what I was doing. Justin: All right, let's go. Let's go over to the mansion. Come on. Hope: Wait. Do you think this is a terrible idea? Justin: Okay, this is what I mainly think--that it's not a permanent idea. I think it's late. I think you need some rest. Ciara's life is not gonna be ruined by spending one night at her grandpa's. You can get a good night's sleep, and then think things over in the morning. That's what I think. Hope: Justin, do you think I should call Bo? Justin: No. No. Maybe he needs exactly what you need-- a little time alone. [SCENE_BREAK] Nathan: Uh, Lucas, I gotta let you go. Um, something just came up. Yeah, all right. Well, take care, and I'll call you tomorrow. And thank you very much. Um, all right, bye. Melanie: So you're leaving tonight? Nathan: I guess so. Melanie: Don't you think we should, like, talk about this or something? Nathan: Well, I'm sorry I didn't tell you. There's really nothing to talk about. Melanie: Okay. Nathan: Look, Maggie's my grandmother, all right, and I love her, and not only do I love her, I respect her. Melanie: So do I. Nathan: And what she thinks about me is important to me. And I made a promise to her that I wouldn't...you know, fool around with you here. Melanie: Yeah, I know what you promised her. Nathan: There's obviously not a shot in hell that I'll be able to keep up my end of the deal, so...the easier solution is just for me to move out. Melanie: Even though she's your grandmother? Nathan: Because she's my grandmother. Melanie: See? I think you have it wrong. I think it's not you who has to move out. I think it's me. [SCENE_BREAK] Nicole: You better think about this very, very carefully. EJ: What are you talking about? Kate: EJ-- oh, Nicole, you're back. What a horrible, horrible surprise. My darling, I came as soon as I heard. You're alive...again. Stefano: Katherine, you cannot keep a good man down. Kate: Mmm! Well, when you're stronger, I'll do something about that. You two can leave. Now. Out. Everything's going to be fine. I'm here. [SCENE_BREAK] Bo: So your life is in danger? Carly: Uh-huh. When'd you start drinking diet beer? Bo: Let's stick to the topic, which I assume is the death of Lawrence Alamain. Carly: Yeah. Bo: [Sighs] Was it political? Are there people after you? Carly: Yes and no. Bo: Did you break into my house so we could play 20 questions? Carly: His death wasn't political, and, yes, there are people after me. That's what I meant by yes and no. Bo: All right, he died because of a stab wound. It wasn't political. Was it personal? Carly: Yeah, it was pretty personal. Bo: Okay, you know who's responsible? Carly: In a way, I was. Bo: In what way? Carly: In the way that... I'm the one who stabbed him. [SCENE_BREAK] Justin: Not many happy memories here, are there? Hope: Nope. But I should look on the bright side. Kate's not here anymore. Ciara's room isn't down the hall from a homicidal maniac. Justin: See, you're always so prickly about things like right and wrong. Sit down. I mean, come on. Kate didn't like Chloe. I mean, what choice did she have? Hope: Bo doesn't understand. He thinks I'm just mad at him, but it's not only that. Justin: What else is it? Hope: Look at Kate, Stefano, Dean--they all got away with it. Justin: Dean's in prison. Hope: Yeah, he'll get out. They all do. I'm still scared. Bo just wants this whole thing to be over with, but it's not. It's far from over. I don't know, I can't explain it. Justin: You don't need to. [SCENE_BREAK] Bo: Okay, uh... [Laughs] So you killed Lawrence. Carly: I had good reason. Bo: Oh, all right. Well, why didn't you say so? I mean, who's gonna be all upset about a cold-blooded murder as long as you had good reason? Carly: I never said anything about it being cold-blooded, okay? And before I get into that, I need to ask you a few questions. Bo: Oh, all right. Fine. Couple of old friends just catching up. "Hey, Bo, I stabbed my husband, killed him, fled the country, and, by the way, are you a Cubs fan?" Carly: You're not making this easy for me. Bo: It's not supposed to be easy. Killing people, it's a difficult topic. Carly: This little girl, is she your daughter? Bo: Yes. Carly: With Hope? Bo: Yes. Carly: Why was Hope leaving with Justin? Bo: How long were you out there? Carly: She's beautiful. What's her name? Bo: Ciara. Carly: Where is she? Bo: Well, if things went according to hope's plan, two of them are over at Victor's place. Carly: Kind of a lot of suitcases for a sleepover. Bo: Kind of a lot of questions. Carly: All right. Look, I want to confide in you. I'm just trying to understand your situation first. So Hope and your daughter, they're gonna be at Victor's for a while, right? Bo: Yeah, looks that way. Carly: Good. That's good. [SCENE_BREAK] Kate: So...are you going to tell me what that wretch Nicole wanted? I can't tell you how it made my day when she told me that she was leaving the country with the baby she bought. But just like Nicole, she gets your hopes up, and then she dashes them. Stefano: That baby is my grandchild. Kate: I know, my dear, but can't we just buy you another one that has no mother attached? Stefano: [Laughs] Try not to make jokes about Sydney, Katherine. Kate: Is there any chance you're going to tell me what she was doing here? 'Cause even though she didn't leave the country, I know she wouldn't want to visit you. Stefano: She didn't want to. She had to. Kate: Ah! Because? Stefano: Well, Katherine... [Chuckles] Your entrance was absolutely perfect. Mmm. See, Elvis, Nicole, and myself, at some point, we have to have a talk, but not quite yet. Kate: Okay. Well, you're not going to be talking to them again tonight anyway, because I'm not gonna let them in here. You need to rest. Stefano: So we are going to be alone together? Kate: Of course. Stefano: Am I gonna make it through the night? Come here, come here. The nurses here are very sure that my latest brush with death is your handiwork. Kate: Oh! My God. That's slanderous. Why would they say something like that? Stefano: Well, I'm in the same hospital you put Chloe in, and my insurance company believes that you are a pre-existing condition. Kate: Stefano, don't you think I learned my lesson with Chloe? If I tried to kill you, you'd be dead. Stefano: [Laughing] [SCENE_BREAK] EJ: What are you doing here? Nicole: How did you know I was leaving? Did you have me followed? EJ: Samantha told me. Nicole: Sami? EJ: Don't worry. She didn't betray you. She was trying to show me the error of my ways and convince me that all this is somehow my fault. Nicole: I don't think that's what she said. That's what you heard. EJ: Well, it doesn't really matter what she said or what I heard. Now Kate made a rather good point earlier. I don't think my father needs to be under any stress at the moment. Nicole: God forbid anything were to happen to him. EJ: Quite. Now...he was about to tell me something before Kate came in. So seeing as how we don't want him to be under any stress, I would like you to tell me what he was going to tell me now. [SCENE_BREAK] Bo: Yeah, my wife took my kid and moved out. Happy that works out for you. Carly: No, listen, I'm just-- I'm happy they're at Victor's, because it's secure, okay? I didn't want to come in here unless I knew you were alone. Bo: Because? Carly: Because they're after me. Bo: They're, who? Carly: They--Lawrence's men! They're after me! Bo: Well, because you killed Lawrence. That's a crime, as you may know. What you may not know is now, I am the police commissioner. Carly: I do know that. Congratulations. Bo: And it's frowned upon for police commissioners to harbor fugitives. Oh, sorry, I forgot. You had good reason. Right about now would be a good time to tell me what that reason is. Carly: Self-defense. [SCENE_BREAK] Maggie: I can hear it in your voice. Yes, you sound well. Lucas: Yeah, I'm doing fine. What's going on with you? What's going on at your house? Maggie: Oh, you mean with Nathan? Lucas: Nathan and Melanie. Maggie: Uh, well, I just told them that I didn't think they should date as long as they're living with me. Lucas: Yeah. Yeah, I know. He told me. I mean, he called me. He asked if he could move into my house and out of your house. I mean, do you really want him to move? Maggie: No. No. I'll miss him. Lucas: Well, this is just kind of off the top of my head, Maggie, but why don't you just butt out? [SCENE_BREAK] Nathan: You're not gonna move anywhere, all right? You don't even have anywhere to live. Melanie: That's not true. I can live with Malika until I can afford a place of my own. Nathan: Oh, yeah, that's great, and be what? Roommate number four? I'm sure you'll get all kinds of studying done, and let alone sleep. Melanie: Hey, they make it work, so can I. Nathan: Come on, Maggie needs you here. Melanie: Nathan, nobody has ever, nor will they ever, need me. Nathan: Here we go. Melanie: I'm disruptive and distracting. Nathan: What is wrong with being disruptive, huh? I think that you bring life to the house, Melanie. And Maggie? You drive her crazy, and she needs that secretly, I swear. Melanie: You're delusional. Nathan: No! And you know I'm family, so if I move out, she has to forgive me. Melanie: Oh. Nathan: And honestly... Melanie: What? Nathan: It's not exactly cool for a doctor to still be living with his grammy. Melanie: [Laughs] Oh, Nathan. You could still move out and not get any cooler, and then you'd have to make your bed, too. Nathan: Oh, yeah? Melanie: [Giggling] Yeah. [SCENE_BREAK] Nicole: The truth is, EJ, I'm concerned about your father. EJ: Then why were you threatening him? Nicole: I was trying to get through to him, but sadly, he's...[Sighs] Did Lexie say anything to you about a psych evaluation? EJ: [Laughs] Nicole: I'm concerned that your father didn't come out of this coma with everything he went in with. EJ: Wow. Nicole: And the scary thing is, I mean, he's just-- he's convinced that he's right. He might sound plausible. EJ: It's funny. He did say something that was a little bit peculiar. Nicole: Really? EJ: Mm. He seemed to suggest that he knew what you were up to before he got sick. Isn't that strange? Nicole: [Scoffs] That's ludicrous. EJ: Of course, because he'd tell me. Wouldn't he? [SCENE_BREAK] Victor: Ah. Is Ciara asleep? Hope: Yes. Victor: Did you get to talk to Delia? Hope: I did. She's, uh... she's lovely. Ciara already likes her very much. You didn't need to get me a nanny. I can take care of my daughter. Victor: Well, it's nice to have a fallback, in case you and Bo decide you want to go to Barbados for the weekend. Hope: Or if I need to go to Reno for a divorce. Victor: Now, Hope, you have to think about this. Hope: Victor, relax. I have no such plans. I love my husband. It's just so seldom I can get a rise out of you. Isn't it nice to be able to just sit here and talk without me having to read you your rights first? Victor: And isn't it nice that, with all your troubles with Bo, it hasn't changed our relationship one bit? Hope: I can't help but be suspicious about all of this. I'm not sure it's a good idea. Victor: Beware of Greeks bearing gifts, huh? Hope: Where's Justin? Victor: Probably talking to Adrienne. That's usually where he is this time of night. Hope: How are they doing? Victor: About as well as you and Bo. Ah, where are my manners? Didn't offer you a nightcap. Would you like some tea or something? Hope: No, thank you. Uh, it's getting late, and Ciara has been getting up early these days, so I'm gonna head up. Victor: Well, sleep well. Hope: Victor, I know how much your family means to you. I'm sorry. Well, I'm just sorry. Good night. Victor: Bo's an idiot. [SCENE_BREAK] Carly: And it was really touch and go for a while. And if Lawrence hadn't been so determined and so strong, he would have died. Bo: And he got sick right after you were married? Carly: Yeah. We maybe had a month. I was--I was happy. Bo: I know how much you loved him. Carly: I did. But the man that recovered-- and you're gonna think I'm crazy-- it wasn't-- it wasn't Lawrence. It wasn't my Lawrence. Bo: How so? Carly: He--he did things, evil things. Bo: Take your time. [Cell phone rings] Bo: Excuse me. [Rings] Bo: I'm sorry, I gotta take this. Is Ciara okay? Victor: Do you care? Bo: Don't start. Victor: I'll stop as soon as you get your ass over here and beg your wife to come home. [SCENE_BREAK] Nathan: Are you sure you haven't seen it? Melanie: I mean, I've seen a lot of pens in my day. Why is this one so special? Nathan: Uh, well, it belonged to my grandfather. Melanie: Oh. Nathan: Yeah, he gave it to my mom, and she gave it to me, and...[Growls] Melanie: Okay, okay, uh, uh...what did it look like? Nathan: It's a...it's um... it's black with a...a gold clippish type-- it-- ahem. It's a real fountain pen. Melanie: [Laughs] Okay, okay. When did you last see it? Nathan: This morning, and I could have sworn I put it in my bag, but I checked, and it's not in there. Melanie: I'll look again. Um, that's so cool to think you have something of your grandfather's. Nathan: Yeah, I know. You know, he wrote poetry with this thing. Melanie: Poetry? Nathan: [Laughs] Yeah. Under the pen name of, uh-- oh, wait, you ready for this? Nom de Plume. Melanie: [Laughs] Well, luckily, he didn't quit his day job. Aha! I found it, I think! Right? Nathan: Ah, yes! Oh. Uh, you know what happens when we hug. Melanie: [Laughs] Okay, get out of here before Maggie comes home. Nathan: I don't want to say good-bye. [Laughs] [SCENE_BREAK] [Heart monitor beeping] Stefano: Are you going to pout now? Kate: I don't pout. I don't do that. Besides, it wouldn't work on you. Stefano: No. [Chuckles] You know, Katherine, I think my marriage to you is what made me turn away from the light. Kate: Yeah. That and being able to boss around your family, I think. Are you gonna tell me what was going on in here before I arrived? Stefano: Not yet, but that does not mean I don't trust you. Kate: No, it just means you're still working on your strategy, right? Stefano: That's exactly right. Kate: Well, Nicole is tricky. She's not bright, but she is cunning. Stefano: Yes, and she can be ruthless, yes? Kate: Well, everyone has at least one nice quality. Stefano: [Chuckles] Oh, Katherine, come here. Come here. You know, it has been such a long time since I felt that I have an ally. I'm sorry that I lived, and I spoiled your exit from Chez DiMera. Kate: I have to tell you the truth. Chez DiMera is no fun without you there. Those thirty-somethings are pretty damn grim. Stefano: [Laughs] Tell me about it. [Yawns] Oh, pardon me. I'm sorry. Kate: It's okay. It's okay, you're getting tired. I think I better leave. Stefano: Look, before you go, please, tell Nicole I want to see her. Kate: Ah. You've decided what you're going to do? Stefano: Go for broke and let the chips fall where they may. [SCENE_BREAK] Nicole: I don't know what he was gonna say. He wasn't making any sense. EJ: Why are you here? Nicole: What? EJ: Why are you here? Why'd you turn round from-- where was it? Where were you? Nicole: Brazil. EJ: Brazil! Brazil? Okay. So why did you turn round from Brazil and come down here? You wanted to, what, hold my father's hand? Nicole: Think about it, EJ. Your father woke up and used his connections to drag me back here? Does that make any sense? No. All right, look, you threw me and Sydney out of the house. Okay, that matter has been settled, but I don't know what he was thinking. I don't know why he dragged me back here. I don't know. Kate: Nicole. He wants to talk to you... alone. Nicole: Fine. Kate: And then he wants to talk to EJ. He says it's very important. [SCENE_BREAK] Melanie: Oh, it's just such a bummer that ice cream doesn't make moving out easier. Nathan: Yeah. Speaking of ice cream, you got a little bit of it right there on your face. Melanie: Oh. [Laughs] Nathan: I'm sorry. How did that-- oh. Hey, come on. Stop it, stop it, stop it. Maggie: I'm sorry. Am I interrupting? Melanie: Uh. [SCENE_BREAK] Stefano: I do not like to be threatened, and you, above all people, know that I do not like to be blackmailed. Nicole: Well, damn, we do have something in common. Stefano: All right, let's get down to business. I'm not gonna do anything until tomorrow. I'm gonna use tonight to think things over. You are not to leave town. And if you try, you know what's going to happen. Nicole, I went to your wedding. I don't want to go to your funeral. Nicole: That seems straightforward enough. Stefano: Now go, go, go. Go, go away. Go. [Sighs] [SCENE_BREAK] Bo: First of all, I did beg my wife to stay home. Second, something's come up. Victor: I'm telling you to get over here. Bo: And I'm telling you, I can't. Victor: You know, I would certainly love to know what's more important than your wife and child! Carly: Wow. I remember that bellowing. Bo: Yeah. Age has not mellowed him. Carly: Yeah. Listen, um, I'm gonna go, 'cause he's right. There's nothing more important than your wife and child right now. Bo: Yeah, and my wife left me, and she wants nothing to do with me right now, and you didn't come over here, risk your life to see me, to turn around and leave. Carly: I realize it's not fair to drag you into this. I can't do that. Bo: Yeah, and we'll talk about that later. Right now, sit down. Sit down. Need you to tell me about Lawrence, what he did. Carly: I don't want to go into details. But whatever happened to him, it was degenerative. He was getting worse, and the things he did were getting worse. Bo: Did he do things to you? You said you killed him in self-defense. Carly: Yeah. 'Cause, see, he had to be stopped. He had to pay. Bo: So you killed him. Lawrence: [Groans] Carly: Yeah, I killed him, and I'm sorry. Bo: You are? Carly: I'm sorry I didn't do it sooner. [SCENE_BREAK] Maggie: Um, look, um... I promise I won't make a scene. Melanie: Do you want to sit with us? Maggie: Uh... okay. Um, but just a second. I don't want to intrude. Melanie: You're not intruding. Maggie: Okay, what I want to say is that I, um... I talked to Lucas, and I think I was wrong to make rules for you two. Nathan: No, it's your house. Maggie: It's yours, too, Nathan. I don't want you to think you have to move out. And I don't want you to resent me. Melanie: I would never resent you, ever, after everything you've done for me. My gosh. Maggie: I, um... I'm just sorry. Nathan: No, you don't--um... I am. I'm your grandson. Maggie: Do you think that slipped my mind? Nathan: [Laughs] No, I-- you know what I-- look, you shouldn't have to put up with me and my wet towels on the floor. Melanie: Yeah. I mean, that's nothing compared to me always leaving the milk out of the fridge. Nathan: Come on, stop stealing my thunder. Melanie: Sorry. Nathan: Anyways, look, me moving out is not going to change anything about what we have, all right? I promise. If anything, maybe we'll get along even better. Maggie: Okay. Um, I'm making pot roast for Sunday dinner. Are you gonna be there? Nathan: Have I ever missed a pot roast dinner? Maggie: [Laughs] You two can do the dishes. Melanie: Whoo! Nathan: Thank you. Maggie: Aw. Nathan: Mm, love you. Maggie: Yeah. [SCENE_BREAK] Maxine: This is gonna make you sleep like an angel, which is a lot better than you deserve. Stefano: Oh, Maxine, if only I wasn't a married man. [Both chuckling] [Door opens] Stefano: Hey. EJ: You wanted to see me? Maxine: Make it fast. He'll be asleep in two minutes. EJ: So... you finally gonna tell me what's going on? Stefano: I will, Elvis. I-I will. [Yawning] Tomorrow. [SCENE_BREAK] Justin: Adrienne, if you would just-- ah, it's okay. She hung up. Hope: I'm sorry. I take it things aren't going any better? Justin: All I can say is, I'm just glad that my children are grown up, so they don't have to-- I'm so sorry. I don't think I could have said anything less sensitive than that. Hope: It's okay. Don't worry about it. We both know how hard this must be on Ciara. Think about it all the time. Justin: Yeah. I know you do. Hope: My job is to protect my daughter... to do what's right for her. Justin: Even if it means going back to Bo before you're ready? [SCENE_BREAK] Bo: So Lawrence's men have come after you? What about the authorities? Carly: I'm not worried about them. Bo: You're not? Carly: No, they have no proof. I wiped down the knife. Bo: Yeah, and fled the country. Not to be xenophobic or anything, but that country doesn't need as much proof to arrest someone and throw them in prison for a very, very long time, especially when a man is killed and his wife disappears. Carly: Don't get me started on the gender roles over there. Bo: I won't, 'cause right now we have more important things to talk about. If I'm gonna help you, I'm gonna need a hell of a lot more information. No more sidestepping. Full disclosure. Carly: All right. If I tell you everything, will you help me? [SCENE_BREAK] Hope: If I think Ciara can't cope with the separation, yeah, of course I'll go back to Bo. Justin: Even if you haven't worked things out with him? Hope: Ciara's my priority. She comes first. Justin: She's lucky to have you. Hope: She's lucky to have Bo, too. Too bad she can't have us both at the same time. I'm gonna head up. Justin: Yeah, me, too. Hope: Here. Let me take that for you. Justin: Thanks. You know, if it means anything, I think this is the worst of it. It's gonna get better. I really think so. Hope: When you say it, I almost believe it. [SCENE_BREAK] Carly: So our patient's asleep? Good, 'cause I might have to be here awhile. I'm fine, Omar. I gotta go. Bo: Everything okay? Carly: Yeah, everything's fine. Bo: Good. Good. It's time... to talk. I need you to tell me the circumstances that led to you killing your husband. [SCENE_BREAK] Nathan: Hey. You got quiet all of a sudden. Melanie: Oh... I don't know. I was just thinking, with you moving out and taking all those hours at the hospital, I'm not really gonna get to see you very much. Nathan: Melanie, do you honestly think I'm gonna let that happen? Hmm? Melanie: I don't know. Nathan: Hmm? Hmm? Come here. [SCENE_BREAK] EJ: Good night. We'll talk about this tomorrow, okay? Nicole: Hey. You want to hold her? Daddy loves you, honey, so much. But your very own grandfather is gonna ruin everything. Sami... something's gonna happen tomorrow, and, um... I need to tell you something before you hear it from someone else. Bye. [SCENE_BREAK] Chad: You gonna fight me on this, or you gonna back off and let me have what's rightfully mine? Nicole: Oh, my God, she's gone to Stefano. Sami: I have something I want to say to you.
