Victor went to Daniel's apartment to see if Daniel wanted to get something to eat. Daniel said he had plans. Victor asked if he had a date with Jennifer and then got on the subject of Chloe. Victor insulted Chloe. Daniel reminded him that he ruined her engagement to Lucas. The two got back on the subject of Jennifer. At the park, Nicole cried to Fay that Brady said she pushes everyone she loves away, but that wasn't true. She just wanted to be close to the children and be happy with EJ. She wanted a new life and now it's ruined. She felt no one cared, if they made her miserable. EJ fell in love with Taylor. Now he hated her. She felt that Johnny and Sydney were the only ones who loved her now that Fay is gone. She didn't know how she would go on if it weren't for the kids. At Sami and Rafe's apartment, Rafe found a cameo in Fake Rafe's duffle bag. He knew it wasn't Sami's. That was one more thing to figure out. At the storage shed, Fake Rafe was determined to get out of there before Rafe figured out everything and turned him into the police. He flashed back to taking the cameo off of Fay's neck. He thought he was toast if Rafe figured out how he's connected to the cameo. At the DiMera mansion, EJ said this is his fight and he's going to end it. Stefano didn't think so. EJ wanted this to be over. Stefano asked if he wanted his children to see him on visiting day. EJ didn't want that man near his children. He doesn't want that guy to screw things up. Chad interrupted them to tell them he had a date. Stefano wanted to offer money, but Chad refused it. Chad had it covered. When Chad left, EJ cracked about the affectionate moment between Stefano and Chad. Stefano said it was a lot easier to affectionate to a son who wasn't talking about killing an enemy. EJ blamed Stefano's plan for his problems. The two continued to talk about killing Rafe. Stefano asked EJ when was he going to tell him that Nicole was blackmailing him. Rafe checked the cameo and found out nothing. He threw the cameo in the duffle bag. Nicole showed up and was surprised to see him. She said she thought he left and was divorcing Sami. Nicole dropped off Sydney's stuffed animal. They talked about EJ and then Nicole tried to come on to him the way he did to her. He pushed her away. Nicole questioned why he didn't want her. She noticed that he was different. She said he was different because of EJ. Stefano asked what Nicole had on EJ. EJ told him that Nicole has proof that Rafe was in the basement. Stefano asked if she knew what happened with Rafe and the double. He said no. He said she just thought they did a mind experiment on Rafe for why he was different. Stefano asked why didn't he tell him. EJ said he wanted to handle it. Stefano wasn't impressed. The two got into an argument. At the pier, EJ greeted officer Davis and handed him money in case he got caught. The money was for the officer to start up his own security company. The cop wanted to know when to start. EJ wanted him to start now. Rafe asked Nicole what EJ had to do with what happened to him. She dodged the question by saying she wouldn't tell EJ or Sami that he kissed her. Rafe got a call from Officer Davis. The officer told him that Dario was picked up for shoplifting. The cop thought Rafe would handle it. Rafe said he would be right there. After the call, EJ said he did a good job. When the cop left, EJ pulled out a gun. He said he had to take care of this himself. EJ put the gun under his coat when he heard footsteps. It wasn't Rafe. The person was Taylor.
Daniel: Victor. Victor: Surprised? Daniel: I am. Come on in. Come in. Did we have, like, dinner plans and I just completely forgot? Victor: No, no. Daniel: I've been really busy and just... Victor: I just happened to be out and about, and I thought I'd stop by and see if you wanted to get something to eat, watch a ball game. Daniel: Are you feeling okay? Victor: I'm feeling fine. Daniel: I would, really, but I... Victor: You have plans. Unless you just sit around the house in a sport coat all the time. Daniel: Sorry. I--really, I would like to talk. Victor: This date, is it with Jennifer? Daniel: Uh, yeah. Victor: You like her? Daniel: She's a lot of fun. Victor: Well, she's more than that. She's smart. She supports herself. Taking the responsibility for two children when that idiot husband of hers took a powder. In short, she's everything that Chloe is not. Abigail: Whoa, excuse me. Who are you and what have you done with my mother? Jennifer: Okay, all right, just look at me and tell me what you think and be honest. Abigail: That you're seeing Daniel tonight and you are bringing out the heavy artillery because you really like him. Am I right? Nicole: [Crying] Mom... mommy... Brady said that I push everyone that I love in my life away, but that is... that's not true. I... I just wanted to be close to Sydney and Johnny and be happy with EJ. I just wanted a new life. And guess what. Guess what. It's all shot to hell. I mean, already. Nobody cares if people make me miserable. EJ fell in love with Taylor. And he hates me. How did this go wrong? How is everything so wrong? Fay: What you should be asking yourself, sweetheart, is how you make things right. Nicole: Mom? [Sobbing] Mommy. Rafe: Hey, Sami. So I just got back from seeing my double. And he wasn't exactly helpful. Yeah, surprise, surprise. So basically I have very little clue as how to act with Stefano and EJ still. Anyway, I'd say give your best to my grandma, but I guess she still hates my guts. Like pretty much everyone else in this town. All right. Hey, get home soon so we can work on the next phase of our plan. I love you. Okay, so... [Jangling] Well, all righty then. Either our boy's into cross-dressing or he held onto this for some other reason. Javier: [Grunting] [Groaning] I got to get the frick out of here. Got to get out of here before that bastard Hernandez figures everything out and turns me over to the damn cops. [Sighs] Looks like you may be worth something after all. You're a real idiot, you know that? Idiot. Shouldn't have taken that souvenir. Mm. God. If Hernandez connects me to Fay, baby, I'm toast. Toast. Stefano: So you want to eliminate our friend yourself, huh? EJ: This is my fight. I'm gonna end it. Stefano: Like hell you will. Melanie: Hi. Dario: Hey. Melanie: You feeling better today? Dario: What's that supposed to mean? Melanie: Oh, well, last night with mike. Dario: Yeah, you were pretty fierce with that pipe, huh? Melanie: Thank you. I think it was just luck. Dario: Yeah, well, what do you want to drink? It's on me. Melanie: Oh, thank you. Maybe in a little bit. I'm gonna try and play some pool. We're having a tournament at the hospital, and I am representing the nurses of four west. Dario: You play pool? Melanie: Sort of. Dario: [Laughs] Well, you just happen to be in luck, 'cause I am great. Melanie: Oh, well. Actually you're working, and I don't... Dario: Are you kidding me? Look at this place. It's almost empty. Come on. Rack 'em up. Melanie: Well, I actually have a friend coming. He was gonna teach me. Dario: I bet you he's not as good as me. Come on. Melanie: Um... Brady: Maybe your betting days should be over, Dario. Rafe: Well, I know this isn't Sami's. So whose is it? Maybe that skank he picked up from the bar that night. Well, women you pick up from bars aren't usually the cameo-wearing type. Well, one more thing to figure out. Better do it before EJ and Stefano figure out that I'm not who they think I am. EJ: Look, father, I want this over. Stefano: Really? You want it so much that you are willing to see your children in a prison visiting room for the rest of your life? EJ: I don't want that man anywhere near my children. I don't want him mucking around in my life. I want that guy dead. [Knock at door] EJ: What? [Door opens] Chad: Oh, hey, I just came by to tell you I'm on my way out, so... is everything okay? Under a waterfall Abigail: I hope you know, young lady, that dressing like that can give a boy ideas. Jennifer: Okay, will you stop that, please? Abigail: Well, you don't want him to think you're that kind of girl. Jennifer: You know, why not? Abigail: Whoa-Kay, maybe you do. Jennifer: I don't mean it like that. I just... Abigail: What? Jennifer: You know, dating after all these years, it's not like riding a bicycle, you know? Abigail: Okay. Jennifer: And I don't know if you've noticed, but Daniel is kind of... Abigail: Hot? Jennifer: Well, yeah, he's that, but I'm--what I'm trying to say to you is that I saw a picture of his first wife that died, Rebecca. She's beautiful. Okay, and then I see Chloe, and she's beautiful, and she is this incredibly sexy woman. Abigail: Have you looked at yourself? You are a beautiful and sexy woman too. Jennifer: Honey, but Daniel has a type. He has a type, and I'm not really convinced that that type is me, okay? Abigail: Mom, one of those women died on him, and the other one had another dude's baby. So I'm pretty sure that Daniel needs another type. Jennifer: Are you sure that you don't feel funny talking about this with me? Abigail: Are you sure you're okay with me telling you that I am going out with Chad tonight? Jennifer: Oh. You're going out with him? What does that mean? Abigail: It means going out. Jennifer: Even though he is part of the DiMera family? Abigail: He is not like them. I've told you that. He--he brought me flowers. Jennifer: Flowers? This is serious. Abigail: It's not that serious. We're not moving nearly as fast as you and Daniel are. Daniel: Okay, Victor, I do not want to have to say this to you again. Do not start in on Chloe. Victor: You are a true gentleman, which I am not, so I can't make any promises. Daniel: Okay, so she's just the villain in all this, and I'm sir Galahad? I went after Chloe while she was engaged to Lucas, turned her life upside-down without a thought. Victor: Listen, let's talk about you and Jennifer. Is it serious? Daniel: Yeah, it's starting to get that way. Which is why I'm going to slow things down tonight. Nicole: Mom, last night, I... I said, "I love you, Sydney," and she said, "I wuv you, Nicole." [Laughs] Oh, and Johnny, he's such a great kid. I'm crazy about him. Fay: So you still want to be part of their lives. Nicole: Now that you're gone, they're the only people in the whole world who want to be with me. And if they weren't in my life... I don't know how I'd go on. Fay: Sounds like you know what you have to do then. Nicole: Yes, mom. I do know. Stefano: Ah, well, Elvis and I, we were just talking about a business deal, see, and sometimes it just gets a little heated, you know? Chad: Oh, okay, well, I won't bother you then. Stefano: Where are you going? Chad: I have a date. Stefano: Ah, well, wait a minute. You probably could use a little money, no? Chad: Oh, no, no, put your money away. I've got it covered, all right? Don't wait up. Stefano: All right. Have a good time. EJ: That was a very touching moment between a father and son. Stefano: It certainly is a lot easier being affectionate with a son who is not talking about killing his enemy with his bare hands. EJ: Well, I realize that my plan lacks some of the subtlety of your plan, father. But in order to protect your plan, I just had to go and drop my children off at Samantha's house. Because of your plan, they're living tonight with a grinning sociopath. Stefano: [Grunts] All I have to do is make one call. EJ: To your hitman. And what will he do, proceed with caution, whilst they live in that house with that maniac? Stefano: He will check it out, he will make it look like an accident. EJ: I told him what would happen if he crossed me. He did it anyway. Stefano: That's no reason to get sloppy. EJ: Father, this guy has to understand, I don't make empty threats. Stefano: Who are you trying to prove this to, huh? Him or me? EJ: What do you mean by that? Stefano: I know why yesterday you tried to pull away from a part of our business and today you want our double to shut up, hmm? When were you planning on telling me that your back has been against the wall because Nicole is trying to blackmail you? Dario: Um, I told you I'd give back every penny you gave mike last night, so... Brady: This is not about the money. Dario: It is to me. Melanie: Guys. Brady: Look, you ought to think about what you're doing with your life, all right? Dario: Like you did, rich boy? Brady: Watch your tone. That guy was a leg breaker you were dealing with. Dario: Did you guys come down here to play pool, or are you here to give me a lecture? Melanie: You know what, Dario, next time you get in a little bind, hopefully Brady and I are nowhere near you. Brady: Maybe we should go somewhere else. Melanie: You know what, no, because we came here to play pool. Now how do I do this? Brady: It's easy. Jennifer: Why would you think that Daniel and I are getting serious? Abigail: I have eyes. I see the way he looks at you. Jennifer: Honey, I don't think he... really? Abigail: Yes. Totally. Why, you want me to pass him a note in study hall just to be sure? Jennifer: You know what, you think you are so smart, don't you? Abigail: Why, what do you think about you and Daniel? Jennifer: I think that we are friends. Abigail: Like Chad and me. Jennifer: Now wait a minute, I just saw the look on your face when you told me he brought you flowers. Abigail: Okay, and I just saw the look on your face when I said that Daniel was into you. The only difference, mom, is that I'm actually happy for you. Victor: What is wrong with you? Daniel: What? Victor: Why would you want to slow things down with a great gal like Jennifer? Daniel: Because--because I don't want to react to a woman without thinking anymore. No. Victor: Is this because you're gun-shy about what happened with Chloe? Daniel: Hell, yeah, I'm gun-shy. And so is Jennifer, even though she doesn't want to be. Victor: Because of Deveraux, you mean. Daniel: And because of something that happened beforehand, yeah. Victor: Lawrence Alamain. Daniel: You know about that? Victor: Look, Jennifer was hurt badly. But so were you. But don't let it make you so cautious you're gonna let go of a good thing. Daniel: Okay, all right, you know, I'll keep that in mind. Okay? I got to... Victor: All right, well, listen, I didn't just come over here to give you advice. I have something I want you to see. Rafe: That's great. No engraving. Well, a dead end. [Knock at door] Nicole: Oh, my god. What are you doing back in town? Javier: Hey! Somebody! Anybody! [Sighs] I got to get out of this place before Hernandez goes through my stuff and finds that cameo. He might just figure it out. He's gonna turn me over to the police. Or worse... the DiMeras. [Straining] Stefano: All right. What has she got? EJ: She has proof that we held Rafe in the basement. Stefano: Mm, beautiful. Does she know what happened to Rafael Hernandez and also the double? EJ: No. No, no, she thinks that we were doing some kind of mind experiment on him, and that's why he's acting so differently. Stefano: Okay, it's not as bad as it could be I suppose. Why didn't you tell me? EJ: 'Cause I wanted to handle it. Stefano: Oh, yeah, because you've done such a wonderful job so far. EJ: I wasn't the one who brought him into this house in the first place. Stefano: You are the one who married a piranha like Nicole. And then you started drooling over her sister on your wedding day. Oh, my god, this is a debacle. It's all screwed up because of you. You know, the first minute that you laid eyes on Taylor, you became useless. EJ: All right, look, the two of us tearing into one another is not gonna help with anything. The common enemy has decided to call himself Rafe Hernandez, so if you like walking around as a free guy as much as I do, I suggest we start to focus on him, all right? Nicole: Are you going to invite me in? Rafe: Depends. What do you want? Nicole: Well, what are you doing here? I thought you left, and I heard Sami's divorcing you. Rafe: Well... Nicole: But I guess I was wrong. Birds flying high Melanie: Ohh. Awesome. Brady: See, that's a combination shot. Melanie: Okay. Brady: You want to learn how to do that? Melanie: Yeah, I do. Brady: All right. Okay. Now combos are hard, so if you have a single shot, you want to just take that instead. Melanie: Okay. But... Brady: Like, don't even look at the pocket. Just concentrate on this ball. Hit that ball to that ball, and it should go. Give it a shot. Melanie: Okay, well, if I-- Both: Oh! Oh! Melanie: God, I'm sorry. Chad: I'm sorry. I got too close behind. My apologies. Brady: So, yeah, you're Chad? Chad: Right. Brady: Used to go out with Mia, right? Chad: That was a long time ago, but yeah. Brady: I know. Yeah. I'm Brady. I'm Brady. This is Melanie. Melanie: Hi. Chad: It's nice to meet you. Don't let me stop your game, guys. I'm actually meeting somebody here. I thought she might be here by now. Maybe you guys know her. Abigail Deveraux. Melanie: Oh, yeah. Brady: Absolutely. Melanie: She's competing in the tournament. Is that why you're meeting her here? Chad: I don't know. Melanie: Oh, you guys can practice once I'm done. I'm just gonna... Brady: You got to blow the combo. Melanie: I'm gonna blow the combo. Chad: Well, don't let me screw up your date here, so... Brady: Oh, it's--no. It's not--I don't know. We're not on a date. We're just-- we're just playing pool together. We're friends. Victor: I was showing these to Jennifer last night, and it occurred to me that you might want some copies, so I had some made. Daniel: You showed her pictures of me when I was a kid? Victor: You weren't that funny looking. Daniel: [Groans] Oh, man. Victor: I've always been fascinated by a mullet. Business in the front, party in the back. Daniel: You're killing me, you know that, right? Oh, my... gosh, I haven't seen that in years. We were so young. Jennifer saw this? Victor: She said Rebecca was a beautiful woman. Daniel: She was. This I know. Victor: Just like Jennifer. Daniel: Did you give her the same pitch that you're giving me right now? Victor: Why would I do that? Daniel: Oh, I don't know. Maybe because you hate Chloe and you want her to find out that I've moved on. Victor: Just don't screw this up. Daniel: Just--just give me my space. All right? Look, I mean it. Jennifer is a lot more fragile than she looks. Abigail: Are we okay? Jennifer: We're okay. Abigail: Okay, I love you. Jennifer: Love you, pumpkin. Have fun tonight. Abigail: You too. Jennifer: I hope I do. [Telephone ringing] Jennifer: Oh. Oh, boy. Hello? Hey, aunt Maggie. Are Daniel and I going to see you at chez rouge tonight? You are kidding me. What? Is everyone okay? Oh, my goodness, aunt Maggie, are you sure you can? Umm, no, that would be great. That would actually be even better. Stefano: Rafael Hernandez is dead. EJ: Right, and your double's supposed to be long gone, but he's not, is he? And Samantha wants a life with him? He's going to go along with that? Stefano: Because he thinks he can get more money out of us. EJ: Father, the only thing this guy's getting is my watching the color drain from his eyes and his knowing I didn't have somebody else do it, I did it myself. Stefano: A few seconds of triumph is not worth a lifetime in prison. I'm not gonna let you do something that stupid, ay. Rafe: You still haven't told me why you're here. Nicole: You first. Rafe: Okay. Sami and I are trying to work things out. Nicole: Oh. Rafe: Now it'd be your turn. Nicole: Dirty kitty. Rafe: Excuse me? Nicole: Come on. You know. Dirty kitty. Sydney loves this thing so much she won't let anybody wash it. She left it over at EJ's. Rafe: Right. Yeah, well, the thing is, Sami, she's with her kids. She took 'em to see their grandma. Nicole: Okay. Well, would you just let her know I dropped it by? Rafe: Yeah. Nicole: Not that it'll make a difference. She hates me anyway. But I thought you and I had a truce. You know? I mean, I love Sydney and Johnny. You know that, right? Rafe: Mm-hmm. Yeah, well, the thing is that EJ, he kind of shoved you down Sami's throat, so... Nicole: All right, well, if it makes you feel any better, being married to EJ hasn't been a bed of roses for me either. Rafe: What'd you think it was gonna be? Nicole: Okay, all right. Can we--can you not be so snarky? Can't you just flirt with me like you usually do? You're the only positive reinforcement I have these days. Rafe: Really? Nicole: Yeah. So thank you. Rafe: Okay. Nicole: And I'm glad you're back. Daniel: Hey. Jennifer: Hey. Daniel: You--you look beautiful. Jennifer: Thank you very much. You clean up pretty good yourself. Come on in. Please. You brought flowers. Daniel: As you noticed. Yeah. Jennifer: They're really beautiful. Thank you. I will get a vase, and I'm gonna put them in some water, and you just go in there and make yourself comfortable. Yeah, right in there. Daniel: Okay, okay. Jennifer: I'll be right there. Daniel: All right. [Romantic jazz music playing] Winter sun shines through Jennifer: Wow, look at those. Okay, um, so do--do you want the good news or the bad news first? Daniel: You know, I like to get the bad news right out of the way. Jennifer: The bad news is there was a small kitchen fire at chez rouge. Daniel: Is everyone all right? Jennifer: Yeah, everybody's fine. They just have to close down for a couple days. Daniel: So there goes our reservations. Jennifer: Good news. Daniel: Good news. Jennifer: The chef managed to plan a meal for two, me and you. Daniel: Resourceful chef. Jennifer: Very, and it's being delivered here as we speak. Daniel: Bre-- Jennifer: Yes. Daniel: Okay, so that explains the candlelight and-- and the music. Jennifer: Yeah. I'm trying to recreate chez rouge. But just for the two of us. So what do you think? Melanie: [Laughing] Abigail: Hey, sorry I'm late. My mom wanted to bond. Melanie. Hi. Melanie: Hi. Do you know Brady? Abigail: I think I've heard the name. Brady: Abigail. Hey, what are drinking anyway? Melanie: I'm on the wagon. I have to work early tomorrow. Brady: What? Chad: Yeah, me too actually. Brady: All right, well, that's an easy order. Okay, I'll be back. Melanie: So how's mom? Abigail: She's great. Got a hot date with your dad tonight. She looks amazing. Melanie: Oh, good. Well, we'll have to compare notes. Abigail: Yes, definitely. Melanie: So you and Chad? Abigail: Are friends who are also on our first date. You and Brady? Melanie: Are also friends who hang out a lot. Abigail: Oh, isn't that that Dario guy? Melanie: Yeah. He's super obnoxious. Abigail: Oh, really, super obnoxious? Is that why you haven't been able to stop looking at him since I got here? Melanie: Hmm? Daniel: I got way too many cards here, man. I'm so sorry, dude. You know what, here, let me just pay you with some cash, okay? Here you go. Here's a tip too. Thank you, man. Man: Thanks. Daniel: I got this. Thank you. Jennifer: All right. Ooh, that looks good. Daniel: Yeah. Jennifer: Umm, chardonnay? Is that all right? Daniel: That's great. That's great. Yeah. Where should I put the food? Jennifer: Oh, I'll take it in the kitchen. Daniel: You want to take-- Jennifer: Here, you take that. Daniel: Okay. Jennifer: And then I think I can take this. Daniel: Here, give me that. Jennifer: Then if you could grab that. Daniel: You got this? Jennifer: I got it. Daniel: Okay. Jennifer: Okay, and then I got this. Daniel: Okay. Jennifer: Whoa, okay, and I'll meet you inside again. Daniel: Inside. Okay. [Mutters] Jennifer: Okay. Umm... Daniel: Here you go. Jennifer: Thank you. Daniel: You're welcome. Jennifer: Oh, maybe we should sit. Daniel: [Stammers] Jennifer: Okay. [Laughs] Daniel: [Mutters] Umm, you know, I could have taken you someplace else other than chez rouge. I mean, you didn't have to go through all this trouble. Jennifer: Oh, no, no, this is great. It's not trouble. Daniel: No? Jennifer: No, I like it because it's more private. Daniel: Right. Yeah. Umm, well, should we make a toast? Jennifer: Yes. To tonight. Rafe: What the hell are you doing? Nicole: Oh, come on. It's not like we haven't done it before. Rafe: All right, Nicole, hold on a second. What, are you still hung up on that night I was trying to get that tape of EJ? Nicole: You're kidding, right? This isn't something you're gonna blame on the accident. Rafe: You're not making sense. Nicole: So you get back with Sami, and that means you don't check me out anymore, you don't grab me when she leaves the room? Rafe: Yeah, pretty much. That's how it works. Nicole: Well, that's not gonna last. [Sing-song] 'Cause you liked me. You wanted me. Rafe: All right, Nicole, this is all in your head right now. It's kind of weird. Nicole: You are different. Rafe: I told you, I'm trying to work things out with Sami. Nicole: No, that's not what I'm talking about. Kissing you just now was like kissing my arm. You--you don't want me. You don't even remember wanting me. And I know why. EJ: Officer Davis. Adam: Sir. EJ: So if you do happen to get caught, and I sincerely hope that you don't, that should start you up with your own private security company or whatever it is you do. Adam: Sounds good. When do I start? EJ: Now. Melanie: a whole new life! Sorry things got out of hand. Brady doesn't actually expect you to pay him back. Dario: Oh, he's getting back every penny. Melanie: Okay, you don't-- it's not like that. Just Brady's a little older, a little wiser. He's made mistakes. So have I. So have you. Dario: You don't know anything about me. Daniel: [Laughs] Jennifer: How is that? Is it good? Daniel: It's good. Jennifer: Is it amazing? [Laughter] Do you know what, this tiramisu is unbelievable. You want to try it? Daniel: It looks great. Jennifer: You want to try? Daniel: Yeah. Sure. Oh, my gosh. What are you doing to me? Mm. Wow. Jennifer: Was I right? Daniel: You are--that's so right. Mm. Yeah. Wow. Jennifer: So what do you think of dining at chez Horton? Daniel: I think, um, I like it a lot, I do. But, um... Jennifer: What? But what? [Cell phone ringing] Daniel: I'm on call. I'm on call. I got to get this. Jennifer: I'll take that. Daniel: All right, sorry. Jennifer: Here, I'll take it. Daniel: Thank you. Yeah. I'll be right back. Yeah, hello. Dr. Jonas. Rafe: Well, what's EJ have to do with what happened to me? Nicole: Don't worry. I promised I wouldn't tell EJ that you kissed me, and I didn't. And I didn't tell Sami either. Rafe: But that's not what you were talking about earlier. [Cell phone ringing] Rafe: Adam. Adam: Detective Hernandez. Rafe: Hey, how are things down in the squad room? I guess you heard I'm back on the force. Adam: Yeah. Listen, the reason I'm calling, I just picked up your brother. Rafe: On what charge? Adam: Shoplifting. Rafe: I'm gonna kill that kid. Adam: Yeah, well, he's got some priors. I thought you might want to come down and take care of this. Rafe: Did you run him yet? Adam: No. I'm holding him down at the pier. Rafe: Okay, thanks. I'll be right down. EJ: Nice job. You should be on one of those cop TV shows. [Sighs] Sorry, father. I'm gonna have to take care of this one personally. Melanie: Why do you always fly off the handle when I'm trying to be friendly? Dario: What are you, a shrink or something? Melanie: No, I'm just trying to apologize. Dario: Well, you did that already, so now just go mind your own business. Melanie: Did you hear that? Abigail: Yeah, some of it. Melanie: What's his problem? Abigail: Um, you. Melanie: [Scoffs] Daniel: Yeah, just keep him stable. Okay. Thanks. Jennifer: Would you like some coffee or maybe another glass of wine? Daniel: You know, I'm really sorry, but I have to go. Jennifer: Oh, you do? Daniel: I do. Yeah, I have--a patient I operated on this morning isn't doing too well. And I just need to go check on him. Jennifer: Sure, yeah, yeah. I get it. Yeah. Daniel: Dinner was great. Thank you. Jennifer: Welcome. Daniel: Thank you. I'll see you tomorrow. Jennifer: Okay. Daniel: Okay. Jennifer: Bye. Daniel: Thank you. [Door shuts] Javier: [Straining] Face it. Houdini you ain't. [Straining] You're loosening up. Finally. Nicole: [Clears throat] Stefano: A-ha. Welcome home. Nicole: Stefano. Hi. Stefano: Been out doing good things? Nicole: Well, I can tell by your mood that you and EJ know Rafe has returned to our fair city and has reunited with Sami. Stefano: We know. Nicole: Kind of a setback, huh? Stefano: Oh, we'll deal with it. Nicole: How? Stefano: Why are you so interested in Rafael? Nicole: Well, what matters to EJ matters to me. Stefano: Hmm. [Chuckles] Always the protective little wife, huh? [Laughs] [Footsteps] Jennifer: I'm not dating Daniel or anyone else for that matter starting right now. Taylor: I can't get you out of my head. Javier: When I get out of here, it's payback time.
