Kate eggs EJ on, saying that something is going on with Stefano in regards to Sydney. Rafe and Daniel break the news to Chloe about Nicole taking Sydney from Sami at birth. Chloe can't believe it, but finally remembers how shocked Nicole was when she learned Sami was pregnant, and she hands Sydney over to Rafe. Chloe admits to Daniel that she feels like she set the whole baby switch in motion, but he assures her that Sami and Nicole were the ones that chose to lie, not Chloe. Later, Chloe tells EJ that he must talk to Sami and Nicole right away. Sami lambastes Nicole for taking her daughter, and Nicole eventually admits that she did it, crying that it isn't fair that Sami gets to have kids, even when she doesn't want them. Nicole then vows to never hand Sydney over to Sami. The two get into a fight, and things get physical. Nicole brandishes a glass, but Rafe walks in with Sydney before the fight can continue. Bo finds Carly talking with Mia on the pier and lays into her for going out when she could be murdered or extradited. Bo later learns some interesting news about Lawrence. Vivian is in town, and finds out that Carly is talking to Mia. She later tries to start up a conversation with Mia at the pub to find out more information about Carly. Brady goes to Victor, trying to get information about the drug dealers in town, but Victor refuses to say anything. Brady steals his laptop in order to get the information he needs, but he and Arianna find that the files they need are encoded.
Bo: Carly? Carly! Aw, come on. What are you up to now? [SCENE_BREAK] Carly: You know, so the baby's adopted mother isn't the only one who puts her baby first. You did too... by giving her up so she could have a better life. Mia: I don't even know you, but it's like you actually understand. Carly: Sometimes...a stranger can understand better than anybody. [SCENE_BREAK] Kate: Oh. You're here. EJ: I live here. Kate: Right. Well... you might want to start thinking about striking out on your own, you know. [Sighs] God...what a day. EJ: It's a little early for a drink, isn't it? Kate: I'm worried about your father. You know, I know the recession hit everyone, but you don't want to cut costs when it comes to getting a hit man. I can't believe that bastard actually pointed the finger at him. And then this damn baby, baby, who's got the baby game! I'm telling you, it's driving me wild. EJ: What are you talking about? Kate: After all that drama at the police station, I get a call from that nursemaid woman who really needs to learn that she is part of the family. And I guess Sami and Rafe were looking for the baby. EJ: What are you talking about, Sami and Rafe? Kate: Well, you know, Chloe is clueless, granted, but I thought she could watch the baby. But I guess, uh...no one knows where she is now. EJ: Kate. What have you done with Sydney? [SCENE_BREAK] Rafe: I told you, give me the baby. Chloe: No! Rafe: You make trouble for me, you're gonna be an accessory. You don't, you can walk away from this. Chloe: No. I promised. Promised. [SCENE_BREAK] Nicole: Sami, hey... Sami: Hey yourself. Nicole: Um...I-I thought you were... gonna go see about Rafe. Sami: I thought you were standing right next to me. And then...poof! You're gone. Nicole: I, uh... well, I mean, I saw that you were worried, and I didn't want to--[Sighs] Well, you don't need to hear my tale of woe. Anyway, I remembered that I left some papers here, and I have them now, so I-I'm just gonna get out of your hair. Sami: Why are you in such a hurry? Nicole: Well, uh... I have to pick up Sydney. Sami: Nicole, you are not going anywhere. [SCENE_BREAK] [Cell phone ringing] Brady: Mm. No, no, no. Don't--that's not your--that's not your phone ringing. Arianna: Yep. I gotta get it. Brady: It's another phone throwing its voice. Arianna: I have to get this. It's Troy. Brady: Don't answer. Arianna: I have to. He's gonna think something's goin' on. Brady: You know, even if you were a real drug dealer, they use voice mail. Arianna: I guess. Brady: No, it's-- no, no, it's okay. I'm gonna...I'm gonna go. You do what you gotta do. Arianna: Wait. Are you mad at me? Brady: No. No, not at all. But I'll tell you this--this is gonna end very, very soon, 'cause we're gonna find out who's running the drugs in this town, okay? Arianna: Okay. So where are you gonna go? Brady: Where anyone goes to find information on the scum of the earth. My granddad. [SCENE_BREAK] Chloe: This isn't your baby. You have no right to be here. Rafe: Trust me, you really don't wanna be part of this. Chloe: How did you get in here? Rafe: It's over, okay? Nicole's not gonna get away with this--she's going down. Chloe: For what? Rafe: And you don't wanna go down with her. Now, I will not tell anyone that you were even here or had the baby. Now, just give her to me. Chloe: What the hell-- why are you doing this? Daniel: Chloe, Chloe, Chloe, Chloe, it's okay. Told you to wait, man. Rafe: Yeah, well, there wasn't time. Nicole's already tried to flee the country, she's trying to kill me, she's got the DiMeras backin' her up. Chloe: What is he talking about? Rafe: It's Sami's baby. Nicole stole her and let Sami think her baby had died. Chloe: What? No-- no, Nicole would not do that. Daniel: No, Chloe, she did. He can prove it. [SCENE_BREAK] Sami: I can practically hear the wheels turning in your head. "What's going on? What does she know?" Nicole: I was-- I was just thinking that you were worried about Rafe. Sami: Oh, Rafe's not dead. Something that makes me happy and you sad. Nicole: No, Sami-- Sami: I know you hate it when your plans go awry. But Rafe didn't die. He did tell me... why you wanted to have him killed--to keep me from hearing the truth. Nicole: Okay, you are so wrong. Sami: I have been wrong... about a lot of things. And I have been stupid. And naive doesn't really begin to catch it all... for trusting you! For trusting Nicole DiMera. I even thanked you for helping me deal with the death of my daughter! You sat there... you sat there... and watched us grieve, watched everything we went through, and you did nothing! You invited me... you insisted I attend the christening service... where you gave the name that you picked... to my daughter! God! [Gasping, sniffling] Do you have any idea how much pain you are in for? Because your life is about to be a living hell! [SCENE_BREAK] Arianna: Look, are you sure you wanna do this? Because I just have this like really terrible feeling that if you go to your grandfather and you tell him anything about this, he's automatically gonna assume it has to do with me. Brady: My grandfather--he's not gonna know that you're working under cover, I promise. Arianna: He can never find out, Brady. It would ruin everything. Brady: I understand. I also believe, though, that one of lowlifes that works for him that we laughingly call "business associates" probably knows something, all right? Do you trust me? Arianna: I do, yes. With my life. Brady: Great. There is gonna come a day when our biggest problem is gonna be like what movie should we go to? Where should we go for lunch? Arianna: [Laughs] Yeah. Brady: I'll call you. Arianna: Okay. Brady: Be careful, all right? Arianna: And you too. Brady: Me? What's gonna happen to me? [SCENE_BREAK] Vivian: Gus, you know how I hate communing with nature! Would you just get hold of Carly and tell me where she is and what she's doing? She's what? Well...she's alone? Who's she talking to? [SCENE_BREAK] Mia: I'm a little embarrassed that I dumped my whole life story on you like that. Carly: Oh, please don't be. Really, I haven't had anyone to talk to--I mean really, really talk to in a long time. Mia: Really? Why is that? Bo: Oh, hey, here you are. Um, sorry to interrupt. Will you excuse us for a second? Carly: All right, well, you know, Salem has become quite the police state since I left-- Bo: What the hell are you doing out here? Carly: I'm sorry. I'm sorry I upset you by taking off like that, okay? Bo: That's not why I'm upset, and you know it. I saw you were using my computer. I know what you're thinking. Carly: I can never pull the wool over your eyes, detective. Bo: Yeah, funny. You have murder charges hanging over your head. You could be extradited at any second. And the Alamains are after you to exact a little bit of revenge. And there is something you can do about that--hide. [SCENE_BREAK] Daniel: All right, everyone just hold on. Everything is gonna be okay. Chloe: No, it's not okay. I don't know what he told you, Daniel, but Nicole knew something was wrong. I-I think he's lying. Rafe: Well, it doesn't matter what you think. The truth is, it is not her baby. Chloe: She is legally. And I swore to Nicole that I wouldn't give her to anyone. Nicole told me that her birth parents are threatening to take her away, and I think he's working for them. Rafe: Sami is the birth mother! Chloe: What? No--Sami's baby died. Daniel: Hey, listen to me. He's right. Chloe: It doesn't make any sense. Daniel: I am telling you, he has DNA results. He can prove what he's saying. I wouldn't lie about this. You know that. Chloe: What, did the hospital make a mistake or something? Rafe: There was not a mistake. See, your old pal Nicole... she stole Sami's baby. She took it to EJ, and then she said that it was theirs. Chloe: What? That's crazy! She wouldn't do something like that! Rafe: Oh, well, guess what? She did do it. She stole another woman's baby, and she's gonna pay for it. [SCENE_BREAK] Nicole: Sami, Rafe told you this, didn't he? Sami: Yes. Right after you didn't succeed in killing him. He told me everything. Nicole: I would never do that--I would never have anyone killed! Sami: You would do anything to keep your secret. You had a long run, Nicole, but it is over. Nicole: What are you talking about, Sami? You know that Rafe has always had something against me. You know that he hated that we were friends! Sami: He hated that I was playing hostess to the woman who stole my child. Nicole: You see...you see! You see, he is trying to turn you against me. Look, I think Grace's death has had-- Sami: Don't say her name! Don't you dare... say Grace's name to me ever again, or I swear to god, I will kill you. Nicole: I'm sorry. Sami: Use her in your sick lies? Nicole: I didn't lie, Sami. Rafe is confused. Sami: Rafe has DNA tests. Nicole: Well, they're wrong. Sami: This is over, Nicole! Just stop it! Tell me where my daughter is, or so help me God, I will make you tell me! [SCENE_BREAK] Carly: I-I have to leave. You gonna be okay? Mia: Yeah. Yeah, I'll be fine. It was really nice meeting you. Carly: You too. And as the French say, bonne courage. Okay. Was there really any harm in me talking to that sweet girl? [Sighs] [SCENE_BREAK] Vivian: Who the hell is that? Gus...we're going to take an indirect approach to this. Don't follow that murdering, vicious little tramp. Follow the girl...and tell me where she ends up. [SCENE_BREAK] EJ: Kate--ahem. Let me... make one thing clear. I'm not one of your lapdog sons. I would appreciate it if you treated this family with a certain amount of respect. Now... what was it you were saying about Sydney? Kate: Well, what I was going to say is that I asked Chloe, your wife's best friend, to watch her. And now Sami and her new boyfriend are looking for her. EJ: Why? Kate: Why? Who the hell knows why? I mean, why is Stefano so attached to her? Why does Stefano think it's so important that she's in this house? EJ: Well, if Stefano thinks it's so important she's in this house, why'd you give her to Chloe? I mean, that seems like a mistake, don't you think? Kate: Why do you care? She's not your daughter. In fact, you threw her and your wife right out of the house. But you know what I think? I think it was the smartest move anyone's made in this little drama. EJ: [Exhales] [SCENE_BREAK] Chloe: Daniel, I don't think you should believe him. Daniel: No, I have to-- Chloe: No, he's playing some sort of trick. Nicole said that he hates her for some reason. Daniel: Look, I saw proof. Chloe: He's FBI! He could have faked it. Rafe: You really don't know what Nicole did, do you? Chloe: She adopted a baby... okay? I know that she lied about the miscarriage, but she would never do something like this. Rafe: Tsk. She did. And she did not adopt a baby. She took it from Sami. This baby is Sami and EJ's. Nicole: Sami called Lucas? Chloe: She just uses him, Nicole! She gets her hooks into him! Nicole: I know, look... I don't think you should get upset when Lucas worries about her. I mean, they did share a child together. Chloe: It's more than that. Ever since he found out she's pregnant, he's just-- Nicole: I'm sorry--what did you say? Chloe: I wasn't supposed to tell anyone. Nicole: She's pregnant? Chloe: Oh, my God. What have I done? [SCENE_BREAK] Sami: Where is my baby, Nicole? Nicole: Okay, look... you're distraught, Sami. You can't possibly think that Sydney is yours! Sami: If I had any doubts... finding you stealing from me has erased them! Those papers you're talking about--they didn't have pictures of presidents on them, did they? Nicole: I was gonna leave you a note. You were gonna let me borrow the money before when I had to run away, and I still do, because Chad is gonna take my baby from me! Sami: She's my baby! When you ran away before, I kept wondering why Stefano worked so hard to bring you and Sydney back. It's because he knew--he knew that she was EJ's daughter! Nicole: No! Sami: It makes a sick kind of sense, Nicole! It's just all coming clear to me! Nicole: How could I have done that, Sami, how? How could it have been possible, okay? How could I have managed that? Sami: Well, you didn't do it alone. Nicole: I was! I was alone. I was all alone, Sami. Sami: You had Baker helping you. Yeah. Yes, I know about you and Baker working together and how you went to Sister Theresa and pretended to be Mary... and told her that I should deliver at his clinic. Which means you planned the whole thing in advance. You coldhearted bitch! You hated me that much? Nicole: No, Sami... Sami: And you were there, weren't you? And it wasn't Grace who stopped breathing. It was Sydney. And you knew about all of it, because you were standing there waiting in the wings to just pass off little Grace. Nicole: No, I would never. Sami: You would never what? You would never tell the truth? I know! Thank god for Rafe! Thank God he never gave up. And I thank God every day... that Sydney won't have to grow up thinking that you are her mother. [SCENE_BREAK] Daniel: What? What is it? Why would you say that? Rafe: Do you remember something Nicole said or did? Chloe: Just take her. Take her to Sami. Daniel: You all right? Chloe: I can't believe what I did. Rafe: Hey, look, I'm sorry. I-I didn't mean to scare you. It's just that I thought you were helping Nicole and... couldn't let you take Sami's baby. Daniel: What'd you remember? Chloe: That I'm the one... [Sniffles] That set this nightmare into motion. Daniel: Come on. [SCENE_BREAK] Victor: Come crawling back, did you? Brady: No. Victor: Well, you should. Any fool could see I practically saved your life. Brady: Ah, once again. Grandfather knows best. Victor: Sarcasm's not gonna work this time, Brady. You're a recovering addict. The last thing you need is you making sweet music with a drug dealer. Brady: How did you know she was a dealer? Victor: Let's just say my vetting process is a little more thorough than the government's. Brady: Again--how did you know she was a dealer? Victor: Why's that so important to you? You're not giving up on her, are you? You really think that I would make something like that up? Are you that big a fool? Brady: No. I knew she was dealing. Victor: Is dealing. Is dealing. Brady: And I want to stop it. Victor: You want to stop the madness, right? Brady: That's exactly right. Victor: Bull. You're looking to play me, Brady, and I'm not buying a word of it. [SCENE_BREAK] Rafe: Hey! Arianna: Hey, Rafe! What is it--y-you got Sydney. Rafe: Uh, yeah. Where's Sami? She's supposed to be here. Arianna: I don't know. I mean, I just walked out here. Um...so Nicole admitted that you were right. Rafe: No. Nicole is still out there somewhere. But she's toast. She's gonna pay for what she did to Sami. [SCENE_BREAK] Nicole: Look, Sami... I can see that you're in a lot of pain-- Sami: Don't even try it. Nicole: But I think you are trying to blame me for all the bad things that have happened to you. Sami: Be very careful, Nicole--you mention my daughter's name--you say Grace's name--and I will not stop myself from killing you! Nicole: Well, look, we can't talk right now, anyway. You're hysterical. Sami, you need some help, okay? So I'm just gonna go-- Sami: You are not leaving! Nicole: Ow! You're hurting me! What are you doing? Sami: I'm calling the police, Nicole. Nicole: No! I will not let you do that! [SCENE_BREAK] Carly: I don't know. I still think you should have done something, you know. Okay, all right, so what if I-- what if I file a complaint against him, and then you haul him down to the station and you teach him a lesson? Bo: And what will the complaint be? Some kid finds out that his girlfriend was messing around on him? No law against that. Carly: He called her a slut. In public, right in front of me. Bo: Hey, don't you have enough problems of your own without picking up the problems of a couple of high school kids? Carly: I felt bad for her. It just...kind of felt like a vacation thinking about somebody else's problems for a change. Justin made it sound like I don't have a lot of time here. Bo: Well, you don't. Carly: So if I don't do what I came here for now, I may never get the chance. [SCENE_BREAK] Vivian: You look like you could use some help. [SCENE_BREAK] Kate: You think something's going on, don't you? EJ: [Clears throat] Kate, with me something is always going on. Kate: But you don't know what it is. You just know that he's making big moves and it involves Sydney, and you don't know why. EJ: You know, I think you should realize there are certain aspects of my life that are none of your business. Kate: Your father seems to think that they're not your business either. You know, when a man lets his father control his life, he should be really careful about using the term "lapdog." EJ: Would you excuse me? I'm sorry, I have somewhere else I need to be. Kate: Your father tried to have Rafe killed. Aren't you curious why? [SCENE_BREAK] Rafe: Damn it, Sami, this isn't the time for voice mail. Hey, it's me. Guess what. I got Sydney back. You gotta call me. Why the hell didn't she stay here? Arianna: So...you told Sami about Sydney. Rafe: Yeah! Yeah, of course. She was gonna stay here, she was gonna make some calls, and I was-- if had she found something out, she would have called me. Oh, boy, something's wrong. I don't like this. [SCENE_BREAK] Sami: No, you are not getting out of this house, Nicole. Nicole: You listen to me, Sami, you are wrong. You are wrong about everything! Sami: Do you have any idea how much pain you have caused? Nicole: No! Sami: You are paying for this. You are paying for all of it. EJ--I can't even begin to imagine what he is gonna do when he finds out what you have done to him! You are gonna end up all alone and miserable. I am taking Sydney back. She is my daughter! Nicole: No! Sami: She is EJ's and my daughter, and I want to hear you say it. Nicole: No! Sami: Say it, Nicole. Sydney is Sami's daughter. Say it! Nicole: [Sobbing] Sydney... Sydney is yours. [Sobbing] [SCENE_BREAK] Chloe: So I promised Lucas that I wouldn't tell anyone, and then I ended up telling Nicole. I never should have done that. But the thing is, she was my best friend, and she was pregnant with EJ's baby, and so was Sami, and there was just a part of me that felt like she had a right to know. Daniel: [Softly] I know. I know. I think you can make a case for that. Chloe: Yeah, but...look at what Nicole ended up doing. Daniel: Exactly. Nicole...did. Okay? Chloe: She must have gone crazy after I told her. Daniel: Well, she didn't have a long trip. Listen to me, baby, listen. Sami didn't tell EJ she was pregnant. Nicole didn't tell him she wasn't. Now, do you really think... that this is your fault, hmm? Chloe: I'm just really scared for her. Daniel: I know you are. Come here. It's okay. Chloe: The thing is, she just--gosh, she just loves EJ so much and she loves Sydney so much and...[Sighs] She was just doing this to be a family. Daniel: Love'll make you do crazy things. But...she did this. And what she did, she tried to have a family by taking another woman's baby. [SCENE_BREAK] Victor: [Chuckles] Brady: What, is this funny? Victor: No, you just remind me so much of your mother sometimes. She always saw the best in people too. Brady: And you would think that that is just stupid, wouldn't you? Victor: No, I think it's naive. Real reason you wanna rid Salem of the scourge of drugs is you wanna keep her safe... protect her. You really think your little friend is gonna want to change? The reason she deals drugs, Brady, is because it's profitable. Extremely profitable. She doesn't want to live on her tips from the pub. Brady: You don't know that. Victor: I know she likes money. I know you have money. So you want to clean up dodge to protect her, save her. Well, she's not gonna change, Brady, no matter what you do. Brady: Imagine...someone who would do anything for money. You really believe you're in a position to judge her? Victor: I was never after the money, Brady. I was after the power that came along with it. And I hurt a lot of people in the process. But I'm not gonna let that greedy, conniving bitch hurt you. You can count on it. [SCENE_BREAK] Rafe: All right, now, if Sami comes back, you tell her that I went to her place, okay? Arianna: Wait, just-- please be careful, all right? They did try to kill you. Rafe: Yeah, well, I've gotta keep Sami safe. Arianna: Let me call Roman. Rafe: Not yet. Arianna: Why not? Rafe: Because...I am bringing Sami's baby back to her. It's private. [SCENE_BREAK] Nicole: I never... thought anything could hurt as much as losing a baby. That's why I knew... what you were going through when Grace died. When I miscarried, Sami... I couldn't do it, I... I couldn't bring myself to tell EJ. Sami: Because you knew it was a deal breaker. You knew... that he wanted to marry the mother of his child. Nicole: No. No, he loved me. And I loved him more than anything. Sami: Does that excuse what you did? Nicole: You didn't even tell him about the baby. You were lying to him, keeping his own daughter from him. Sami: You are not stupid enough to tell me that this is my fault right now. Nicole: No. You... you had Grace. And EJ had his daughter, and I... I thought we all could be happy. [SCENE_BREAK] Arianna: Hey. Brady: Hey. Arianna: That didn't take very long, did it? Brady: He was not in the mood to talk. Matter of fact, he shut me down completely. Arianna: Okay. That's good. 'Cause you know what? I don't want you a part of this. I really don't. Brady: Really? Arianna: Really. Brady: Do you really think that I'm gonna give up? Arianna: I'm afraid to ask. Brady: I'm going into his deleted files and see what I can dig up. Arianna: Brady-- Brady: Hernandez-- Arianna: Please... Brady: Whether you like it or not...got yourself a partner now. [SCENE_BREAK] Carly: You know what? Bo: What? Carly: I hate doing nothing. Bo: Yeah. I do know that about you. Carly: I-I mean it. I fix things, I heal people. I'm not good at being cooped up, waiting for the other shoe to drop. What--what's next? No, the Alamains? Do I get shipped back to Alamain land where, you know, they rule or--or I wait for them to come after me here? Bo: Take it easy. Carly: No, I should take up knitting. You want a scarf, socks? Bo: Carly-- Carly: Sweater. I hate being so totally dependent on you. Bo: Oh. Thanks. Carly: I'm putting you at risk, okay? I'm keeping you away from your family. Bo: Hey, hey, it's gonna be okay. Carly: No, it's not gonna be okay...because I don't even know what I expect from you, okay? I'm looking for some kind of miracle. I don't know what it is! I wake up because I see his eyes when I stabbed him. Before he died, there was a moment--there was a moment where I could see that he knew that he was dying, and I'm the one who did it. Bo: It's gonna be all right. Carly: No. I'm a doctor, and I killed someone... someone that I loved once very, very much. Bo: He was not the person you married. You had no choice. Carly: You believe that, don't you? Bo: You know I do. Carly: Bo, now that I'm here and I know what I know, I-- I don't know how I'm gonna leave. Bo: Yeah. I get it. [SCENE_BREAK] Vivian: I don't mean to pry, but you look so unhappy. Mia: I'm fine, really. Just...broke a mug, that's all. Vivian: Oh, I think it was something else. I'm certain of it. Did something upset you, someone say something? Mia: I should get back to work. Vivian: Oh...just tell me what it is. Maybe I can help you. [SCENE_BREAK] [Doorbell rings] Kate: Harold! Harold? Where the hell is he? Well, a bad day just got worse. Chloe: I need to see EJ. Kate: Where's Brisbane? Adelaide? Where's the baby? Chloe: EJ, hey. There's something that I need to tell you. [SCENE_BREAK] Nicole: I know what you think of me. Sami: You have no idea. Nicole: You don't understand, Sami, you... you don't. I mean, how old were you when you had Will? Sami: Don't. Don't go there. Nicole: And I just--I-I- I thought I-I had accepted the fact that I couldn't have children and then... and then I got pregnant, and it was a miracle. I mean, children come so easy to you. You don't even want them, and you get pregnant. Sami: Oh, my God! Nicole: And it's not fair. It is not fair, Sami. You didn't even tell EJ about the baby, and I can't have another child. Sami: So you thought I had so many that I-I wouldn't miss one? Nicole: No. No, it's just that you had Grace and you loved her, and--and EJ had his little girl. Sami: Are you really gonna stand here and tell me that you think what you did was right? Nicole: It could have been. Sami: I cannot stand here... I cannot stand here and listen to you anymore. You are gonna tell me where Sydney is, and you are gonna tell me where she is right now, because my daughter is coming home! Nicole: [Whispers] No. No, Sami. She's mine. And I will never give you Sydney. [SCENE_BREAK] Arianna: So you really think that you can retrieve deleted files? Brady: We have one advantage. That's my grandfather's innate, overwhelming distrust of other people. A real computer guy would have deleted these things permanently. Arianna: But he did this himself. Brady: He's a ruthless guy, but he's no computer nerd. Look, see that? Arianna: Yeah, what is that folder? Brady: Ah...deleted two weeks ago, and I'm pretty sure that it's shipping orders. Arianna: Deleted shipping orders, huh? Why? Brady: I think we'll know the answer to that when we find out who he's been trading with. And...damn it. Arianna: It's in code. Brady: Yep. This is gonna take a lot longer than I thought. [Keys clicking] Brady: Don't worry about it. I swear to God, I'm gonna find out what's going on if it's the last thing I do. [SCENE_BREAK] [Telephone phone rings] Bo: 'Scuse me. Brady. Hey, man, what's up? Are you sure? That doesn't make any sense. Lawrence Alamain. Okay. Okay. Um...thanks for letting me know. Carly: What? What was that? Why are you talking about Lawrence? Bo: [Exhales] You're not gonna believe this. [SCENE_BREAK] Mia: I must be a real mess. You're the second person who's asked me what's wrong today. Vivian: Oh! Was the other person a stranger too? Mia: Look, my manager's gonna be back any minute, and, uh... I don't get paid to chat. So can I get you something? Vivian: Oh, well, uh... double espresso. To calm my nerves. Thank you. Mia: Mm-hmm. Vivian: Gus, I'm talking to the girl. I don't know if I'm gonna find out anything, and I don't know why Carly's back, but it may not matter, because the only thing that matters is that she murdered Lawrence and she's not gonna run, and she can't hide. [SCENE_BREAK] EJ: What's going on? Where's Sydney? Chloe: EJ, I don't even know if I-- EJ: I'm sorry, one second. Please. Thank you. Thank you. What is it, Chloe? Tell me. Chloe: [Exhales] It's about Sami and Nicole. You have to talk to them. EJ: Why? Chloe: I can't be the one to tell you. It has to be them. [SCENE_BREAK] Sami: I don't know if you've been paying attention, Nicole, but Rafe has DNA evidence. You are not calling the shots anymore. Nicole: I will never let you take Sydney from me. Sami: She is not your child! Nicole: Yes, she is! I love her just like you love your children, and to her, I am her mother. She needs and loves me, not you! Me! Sami: Because you stole her from me! Nicole: But you didn't even know--you held her and you didn't she was yours. Sami: Because you were lying to me! Nicole: No! Because you knew that I was her mother!
