Kayla told Lucas that Kate was only breathing on machines. Lucas was upset that he was going to have to make some tough decisions about her healthcare. He was afraid that God wouldn't listen and keep her alive. Sarah overheard part of Xander and Kristen's conversation. Sarah wanted to know what they were talking about so Kristen told her part of it. Kristen told her that she wanted her support as well as Maggie's support. Sarah asked her if she lost her mind. Stefan told Vivian that she messed up when she shot Kate. Vivian explained how Gabi was the only one who could blow everything out of the water. Will asked Gabi if Vivian shot his grandmother. Gabi didn't answer him. Vivian and Stefan came out and saw them hugging. Will asked Vivian if she shot Kate. Lucas talked about how hard it was to decide whether to honor Kate's wishes. Julie and Hope talked about her condition as well as Gabi. Julie told Hope that she wanted someone to take care of Doug. Sarah refused to help Kristen get Brady back. Xander told her that he agreed with her decision. Sarah had to take a call from the hospital. Kristen warned Xander about getting in her way. Xander told her there was no way he was letting her take Sarah's baby. Lucas couldn't believe that Julie needed a transplant. Kayla explained Julie's situation. Lucas wanted to talk to Julie. He wanted to talk to Jennifer too because he hadn't spoken to her in a while. Kayla told him that she hadn't heard from her. Will demanded answers about what happened to Kate. Stefan told him that the police were already there and didn't find anything. Will was going to make them pay for what they did. Gabi went after him and told him that she would pray for Kate. Will wanted her to do more than pray. He wanted her to help him prove one of them shot Kate. Brady talked to Sonny about his obsession with Kristen. Xander told Kristen how he could just go to Sarah and tell her what Kristen planned to do. Kristen knew his feelings for Sarah would be how he would help her. Kristen threatened to tell Eric about Sarah's pregnancy and that he was the one who told her. Kristen told Xander that Sarah would be mad at him if she found out that he told her about the pregnancy. Xander told her that Eric would help the child, but he would stay with Nicole. Kristen thought that the baby would help convince Brady to be with her. Sarah came back in the room and wanted to know the rest of the plan. Brady wanted to know what was going on with him since he couldn't stop thinking about Kristen. Sonny tried to make him feel better about his obsession with Kristen. Lucas went to see Julie. He told her what happened to Kate. Stefan was glad that Will didn't see the scrubs Vivian had at the mansion. Vivian and Gabi started arguing over what they did to Kate and Julie respectively. Will ran into Sonny and told him that he knew Stefan and Vivian were lying about what happened to Kate. Gabi tried to say that what she did wasn't as bad as what Vivian did to Kate. Lucas told Julie what happened to Kate. Julie assured Lucas that Kate would survive. Lucas assured her that she would too. Kristen continued to talk to Sarah and Xander about how she helped people in town. Sarah yelled at Kristen and got weak. Kristen got her a glass of water and told her to take care of herself. Sarah drank the water and went back to her room. Kristen was willing to play nice with her because she was about to have her child. She told Xander that he could have Sarah and that he should thank her. Gabi told Stefan that he was going to go to jail for obstruction of justice. Vivian warned him to keep Gabi in line or they were going down. Kristen convinced Xander that she was saving a child. She wanted him to give her a date and time of the abortion. Kristen was finally able to convince Xander to help her with her plan. Stefan thanked Gabi for protecting his mother. She did it for him. She was afraid that Vivian was going to ruin things for them. Sarah told Xander how she made her appointment at the clinic. He offered to take her. Sonny assured Will that Kate would be okay. Will thought Kate's life was in Lucas' hands. Kayla told Hope and Lucas that Julie could die at any time. Hope said they needed a miracle. Lucas asked if he could give Kate's heart to Julie.
Kristen: No one is gonna stop me from getting what I want, least of all a lackey like you. Xander: Newsflash: I don't work for you anymore. And there's no way I will ever allow you and that maniac rolf to steal sarah's baby. Kristen: You'd rather her terminate her pregnancy? At least, my way, the child lives. Xander: That is not your decision to make. If you go ahead with this, I will tell sarah everything. Sarah: Tell me what? Kristen: Nothing important. Xander: Kristen was just chatting to me about her plan to get brady back. Sarah: Well, I doubt very much that could ever happen. But I am curious how that involves me. [Tense music] Brady: No. Stop. No. No! I'm not doing this. Sonny: Anybody home? Brady: Hey. Sorry. I didn't see you there. Sonny: Yeah. No kidding. Where were you? Brady: How's will? How's kate? What's the update on her condition? Sonny: Well, the only update is that lucas is in town. He's at the hospital right now. So I was just gonna pick up some food and bring it to him and will. Brady: Do they know who shot kate? Sonny: Will's convinced it's vivian alamain. Brady: I wouldn't put anything past that woman. Vivian: Stefan, you must keep my secret, please! I came back from the grave for you. Stefan: And to kill kate? Vivian: Well, that's beside the point. You hold your mother's future in your hands. It's bad enough that wife of yours knows the truth. Promise me, darling, that you won't let anyone find out what I did. Gabi: Will? Will: Hey, gabi. Uh, I--I'm sorry. I didn't-- I didn't see you there. Gabi: Because you were eavesdropping? Will: No, no. I actually--I'm here to see ari. Gabi: Oh, well, she's at a playdate. But you knew that, right? So what's with the ear to the door? Will: Okay. Gabi, I think vivian shot my grandmother. In fact, I know she did. And I'm here to get to the truth. Hope: Well, you won't have to worry about being ambushed by gabi anymore. Eli and I made it very clear to her to stay away from you. She's not welcome here. Julie: Thank you. And all those tales she's telling everyone, they're just lies to justify her leaving me to die. That's fantasies to ease her guilty conscience. Hope: Rafe swore that she really did believe that you were faking it and that she felt terrible about it. I was willing to give her the benefit of the doubt. I was. But when I walked in here and saw her yelling at you, there was no remorse. Julie, I'm so sorry. What kind of a person leaves another human being to die? I'm sorry. Lucas: Hey. Kayla: Hey. Lucas: How'd it go? What happened? Kayla: Um... I'm sorry, but your mom isn't able to breathe on her own. Lucas: Damn it. Are you kidding me? Kayla: I know. I'm sorry. I reintubated her. And we'll continue to monitor her progress. And kate will stay hooked up to the machines for the foreseeable future or until you decide otherwise. Lucas: Until I decide? Wait, you know I'm her proxy? Kayla: Well, it says in her file that you have the power to make all of her medical decisions. And at some point, you're gonna have to make some tough ones. Male announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the "days of our lives." [Soft orchestration] Lucas: I remember when I was talking to my mom when marlena was on life support last year. And she said the only reason why god spared marlena was because she was a good person and she did good things for people. She said that god would never do that for her, not after the way she lived her life. Kayla: You know what? Kate is very strong. We're not giving up hope on her. Not yet. Lucas: How long do we hang on to hope? I mean, how long do we keep praying? How long do we keep making deals with god? My mother has always been the kind of person to just be in total control of her whole life. She's not gonna want to be kept alive by machines. Sonny: If vivian is responsible for shooting kate, is it wrong to wish that she was one of rolf's reboots that didn't work? Brady: Dr. Rolf. Just another one of kristen's gifts that keeps on giving. Sonny: The woman is a one-person wrecking crew. Brady: Hmm. I don't know if you've heard, but she's on a path to redemption, sonny. She's trying to become a better person. Sonny: She convinced the authorities, right? I mean, she's walking the streets when she should be spending the rest of her life behind bars. Brady: Jack deveraux is desperate to get his memory back, so he cut a deal with her. And to kristen's credit, she delivered. Holly and nicole are home. Rolf is working on the serum for jack. And she actually testified on tony dimera's behalf. Got the charges dropped. And he's on his way to be reunited with anna. Sonny: You know, it almost sounds like you're sticking up for her. Xander: Should I tell her or do you want to do the honors? Kristen: Uh-- Xander: Turns out, kristen's so desperate to capture brady's heart that she's outdone herself, which is saying something. She's going to-- Kristen: Turn over a new leaf. Sarah: Excuse me? Kristen: Yes. I want to make amends for my misdeeds. Sarah: "Misdeeds"? You screwed with people's lives and minds. Kristen: Judgy little bitch, aren't you? Uh... unlike you, I'm not a quitter, especially when it comes to true love. Sarah: Okay. So let's skip the part where you actually know what love is and get to the part of your plan that involves me. Kristen: I was hoping that I could persuade you and your mother that I want to be a better person. And if I had your support, I know it would go a long way towards convincing brady that I have changed and, you know, we should be together. Sarah: Have you lost your mind? Stefan: Okay. You have my word. I will protect you. But you have to understand that you jeopardized your entire future the moment you put a bullet in kate. Vivian: Because she killed me. Stefan: The commissioner and detective price are breathing down our necks enough. If they find out that I lied about you and I being together when kate was shot, it's over for both of us. Vivian: The only person who can blow our little secret is your wife. Gabi: How's kate? Will: Not good, gabi. She's in a coma. Gabi: I thought she was making progress. Will: We all did. But she's still on life support. Gabi: I'm really sorry, will. I know that kate and I, we've had our differences, but she believed in me when no one else did. And she's been there for me when I felt really alone. Will: Then maybe you can repay the favor and help me. Gabi: Help you how? Will: Help me find out the truth about who did this to her. Gabi, you live with vivian and stefan. Have you seen anything? Have you heard anything? Do you think one of them could be the one who shot her? Gabi: Look at you going all investigative reporter. Will: This is important to me, gabi. Gabi: No, I know. I know how much you love kate and how hard this is for you. Will: I understand a lot of people aren't fans. But she has always been there for me. And ari. And everyone she loves. And no matter what she's done, she does not deserve to die like this. Gabi: You're right. She doesn'T. I'm sorry. Vivian: Oh! Stefan: What's going on here? Vivian: Oh! Isn't it obvious? [Laughs] Will's grandmother has passed. Yes. Let me be the first to offer my-- Will: She's not dead. And don't act like you care, because I know you shot her. I'm not leaving here until I get to the truth. [Intriguing music] Vivian: Wait a minute. You cannot go barging in there. Will: Well, then who's gonna start talking? Kayla: No decision needs to be made right now. You take however much time you need, all right? Lucas: There's not enough time in the world to make a decision like that. If I do what my mom wants, we're gonna lose her forever. We probably already did. I don't know. I'm just not ready to face all that. Kayla: I know. I know. I know. Listen, you're not the only one. Doug and hope and eli, they're having to do the same thing with julie... to try to accept that the person that they love may not have long to live. [Stirring music] Julie: I'll tell you one thing. I am not going to give gabi the satisfaction of watching me die-- although I did tell her I'd haunt her for the rest of her life. Hope: That is not even funny. Julie, don't even joke about that. It's not funny. Julie: Darling, whatever the doctors are telling you, I've still got lots of life left in me. Hope: I've never doubted that. Julie: Then will you please help me? Hope: Of course. Anything. What? Julie: It's your father. I--I appreciate you being here with me, but, you know, somebody's got to look after doug. Somebody's got to pick up his shirts at the cleaners and take in the dirty ones, you know? Hope: [Laughs] Julie: Well, he likes them on hangers and extra starch. Hope: Don't worry about that. You don't have to. Julie: But I do worry. I do. He's not a helpless man, but... my whole life's joy is... is looking after him. I always make him a hot breakfast in the morning. I do all the shopping. And I do the errands. I don't want to think about what must be happening at doug's place with me not there. Not that I think I'm indispensable. Hope: You win. Okay? Done. And just to make it very clear... you are indispensable to everyone who loves you. [Sniffles] Sarah: After what you put my mother through, my family, the people that I love, there's not a chance in hell I would support some bogus "new you." Xander: Which is exactly what I was trying to impress upon kristen when you walked in: That you will have nothing to do with her ridiculous scheme to snag her prince. And let me tell you, her "charm offensive," oh, that's just the beginning of her big plan. Isn't it? [Cell phone ringing] Sarah: The hospital. I have to take this. [Phone continues ringing] Kristen: What the hell was that? Xander: Just a little fun. Kristen: Well, I'm glad you're enjoying yourself. But I am warning you, xander, think twice about getting in my way. Xander: I don't have to think twice about anything because there's no way in hell I'm letting you take sarah's baby and pass it off as yours and brady'S. -And...that's your basic three-point turn. Lucas: Julie's always been the life of the party. She always had such good energy. She made everyone else feel good. You're telling me that a transplant is the only thing that could save her right now? Kayla: There has been extensive damage to her heart, so yes, it is. Lucas: And because of her age, she can't make a donor list? Really? Is that true? Kayla: Unfortunately, yes. Lucas: I got to see her. I got to talk to her. Is that okay if I do that? Kayla: I think that she would really like that. Lucas: With any luck, I'll run in to jennifer. I haven't seen jennifer in the longest time. I haven't called her. I haven't--I haven't kept in touch with her at all. I feel horrible about it. Where is she? Kayla: I--I actually don't know where she is. Lucas: Well, I guess will's missing now too. So if you see him, just tell him that I went to go talk to julie, okay? Kayla: I'll do that. Lucas: Thank you. Stefan: I understand that you're upset. How about a drink? Will: I don't want a drink. I want answers. I know you did this, vivian. I know how much you hate my grandma. Stefan: I know you want answers. And I understand why you came here, but we have nothing to hide. Detective price was just here. She questioned us, searched the entire house. She found nothing incriminating, no evidence linking my mother or myself to your grandmother's shooting. Will: That is not the same thing as saying you're innocent. It's pretty clear I'm not gonna get the truth from you two. But I am not giving up. I will get answers. And god help you both when I do. Gabi: Will, wait. Wait, will, listen to me. Will: You know they're lying, right, gabi? You know they're lying. Gabi: I'm really sorry about kate, okay? And I will keep her in my prayers. Will: [Stammers in shock] Do more than that. Help me. Help me prove that one of them shot her. Gabi: Will-- Will: Yes, I know. Stefan is your husband. But, gabi, how can you look in the mirror and be okay with what they've done? [Intense music] Brady: [Sighs] It does sound like I'm sticking up for kristen, doesn't it? Sonny: Yeah. I mean, I know you loved her back in the day. She has hurt so many people close to you. Brady: I know. I know. Which is why it's crazy that I would even think that she could become a better person, right? I mean, do you think it's possible? Exactly. Right, yeah. Sonny, I'm in denial. I know what she's done. I know that she has no control. I know that she has no boundaries. And yet, when I'm around her, I just want more. Kristen: You can't stop me. Xander: The hell I can'T. Kristen: [Chuckles] Poor xander. So desperate to be a hero, so destined to fail. Xander: Oh, it's quite simple actually. Just a few choice words in sarah's ear about how your mad dr. Rolf is gonna steal her embryo when she has the abortion. Consider yourself stopped. Kristen: Except you're not gonna say a word. Xander: I'll do whatever I have to do to protect sarah. Kristen: You've fallen hard for her, haven't you? [Chuckles] And that is how I know that you're gonna cooperate with my plan. Xander: You have no more power over me, kristen. Kristen: Oh, but I do, I do because, if you don't help me make this happen, I'm gonna tell eric that sarah is having his child and that you're the one who told me about her pregnancy. With advil liqui-gels, Kristen: Imagine when sarah learns that you shared her precious secret with me and that then i shared it with eric, a secret she begged you to keep. I mean the hurt, the betrayal. I mean, she might even hate you. Xander: You evil bitch. Kristen: I'm just a woman who knows what I want. And I want brady. Xander: And eric wants nicole. So even if he knows that sarah's pregnant, yeah, he'll do the right thing by the child, but he will stay with nicole. Kristen: Wow. Haven't you been paying attention to anything I've been saying? A baby in its mother's arms can be very powerful-- living, breathing symbol of the love that created it. And I am counting on that power to work its magic on brady, convince him that we belong together. And the same could happen to sarah and eric. Xander: Maybe that's a chance I'm willing to take. Kristen: Is it really? Sarah: Hey. I'm back. So what's the rest of kristen's "big plan" to win back brady? Brady: I made the mistake of going to kristen's hotel room... and I almost slept with her. Sonny: Okay. But you didn'T. Brady: Mm-mm. Sonny: So points for that. Brady: Wanted to. I really, really wanted to. It took every ounce of my being to get the hell out of that room. I mean, I'm--I don't know what's going on. What the hell is wrong with me, sonny? Sonny: Well, here's an idea: Nothing. Kristen is the problem, not you. She knows every vulnerability, every button. And she's using everything in her bag of tricks. So as long as you know that, she can't hold all that power over you. Brady: That's not bad. I'm trying. It's not easy. Listen, the last thing I want to do is run into her, so I'm gonna head home, but, um, give will my best, okay? Sonny: I will. Brady: And, sonny, um... kate and I have had our issues in the past, but I really hope she pulls through. Lucas: Hey, are you up for a visitor right now? Julie: Lucas. Oh! Well, any gentleman who comes all the way from europe to see me? Of course. Although those stories that I'm at death's door have been greatly exaggerated. Lucas: Actually, I came here to see my mom. Julie: Why didn't you send her a ticket? [Laughs] I've never known kate to pass up a shopping spree in europe. Lucas: Yeah. Not this time. Julie: What, darling? Lucas: What? Julie: The truth. What is it? Lucas: My mom's on life support right now. Julie: Oh, my god. Oh, lucas, what happened? Lucas: It's all right. Don't get worked up, okay? She was shot. And we actually thought she was doing better. But it turns out her internal bleeding is a little more extensive than they thought. So she slipped into a coma. Stefan: You know, we are damn lucky will didn't find these. Or the id badge. Vivian: All's well that ends well. Gabi: Are you celebrating? Vivian: Just enjoying one of life's simple pleasures. You ought to try it. Gabi: You're disgusting! Stefan: Can we please not do this right now? Gabi: Look, I know you feel obligated to protect her because she is your mother. But what about will? He's the father of my child. What about my obligations to him, huh? Vivian: Your only "obligation" is to be a good little wifey to my son and keep your big fat mouth shut. Gabi: Oh, excuse me. You shot an unarmed woman. Vivian: And you left julie williams lying on the ground. Gabi: Oh. Vivian: Yes, you did. And everybody knows it. So, my dear, I'd start worrying about myself if I were you. Hmm? Sonny: Hey. I was just picking up food for you and your dad. Thought you were at the hospital. Will: I probably should have stayed there, for all the good it did. Sonny: What happened? Where did you go? Will: I don't know. I did want to keep looking at grandma like that, just lying there helpless, so I went to the dimera mansion to confront vivian about shooting her. Sonny: I'm guessing it didn't go well. Will: No, she denied it, of course. Stefan backed her up, said they were together that day. Sonny: And you think he's lying? Will: Oh, I know he's lying. (Dad) aaaah! Gabi: Excuse me, what happened with julie is hardly the same thing as what happened with kate. You shot her in cold blood, okay? And at least I'm human enough to admit guilt because I just came back from the hospital. I went to check on her. Stefan: You sure that was a good idea? Gabi: Apparently not. I went over there to tell her what happened, and the old battle-ax went off on me like she always does, like she did when she had her heart attack. So if she doesn't make it, it's really not my fault, not this time. Lucas: Will thinks that vivian alamain shot my mother, but we don't know for sure yet because we don't have any proof. Julie: Well, that's news. I remember new year's eve at doug's place. Vile vivian crashed the party with her vile son, who is now married to gabi, the vilest one of all. I hope they get what they deserve. Lucas: If vivian shot my mother, I'll make sure she gets what she deserves. Julie: Honeybunch, don't you give up on your mother. It'd take more than a bullet to stop kate. That lady's made of steel. Lucas: And so are you. Julie: You know it. You give me a kiss, honey, and you go be with your mother. You being there, that'll help her pull out of the coma. Lucas: I love you. I'll be back. Julie: [Sobs] Will: When I left the hospital, my dad was there with her, you know... telling her that he loves her. Sonny: Well, they say that people in comas are aware of their surroundings. Do maybe hearing his voice will do the trick. Will: I hope so. Apparently, kayla tried to take her off the ventilator to see if she could function on her own, um, but she couldn'T. I mean, what if this is it? What if she doesn't make it? [Emotional music] Xander: Does it really matter what kristen's big plan is? I mean, even brady's too smart to ever love her again. Kristen: Brady does love me. He just needs to be reminded. Sarah: You actually think that you can pretend to be a better person and brady will fall for that? Kristen: Nicole and holly are home because of me. Tony and anna have been reunited. And rolf might help jack deveraux get his memory back. And that wouldn't have happened without me. Sarah: All things that you did to get out of a life sentence, not because you actually care about anyone other than yourself. Xander: Are you all right? Sarah: Yes. I just worked a long shift at the hospital. Just, I need to sleep. Kristen: Okay. You really need to take care of yourself. It's just water. Xander: It'll do you good. [Suspicious music] Better? Okay. With a weep nap and you'll be as good as new. Why don't I help you to room? Sarah: No, I'm okay. Thank you. Kristen: Snooty little loser. Xander: She's an angel. Kristen: And the mother of my child. So I will play nice. Xander: You are-- Kristen: About to be a mother. Thanks. [Laughs] And you have a real chance with sarah thanks to me and thanks to you for being smart enough to see that teaming up me will get us both what we want. Hmm? Hope: Thank you, ciara. Oh, wait, honey, just one more thing. Please just make sure that your grandfather's fridge is stocked, okay? And get his favorite ice cream. Okay. Love you too, baby. Bye. Ciara's taking care of everything. Kayla: Great. Lucas: I'm sorry. I'm sorry about julie. Hope: Lucas, I am so sorry about your mom. Kayla: How was julie? Lucas: Well, she swore she was okay, you know? But you could tell she was fighting it. She was just being a trouper. Kayla: Yeah. She's definitely getting weaker. Hope: Kay, without a new heart, how much time does she have left? Kayla: Not very long. Stefan: Rather than throwing around blame and accusations, can we all just realize we're on the same team here? That's the only way this is gonna work. Gabi: Oh, okay. How is this gonna work anyway? Because when kate recovers, she's gonna tell the police that it was vivian that shot her. And then you know what? You're gonna go to jail for obstructing justice. [Cell phone rings] I got to go; it's the office. [Cell phone beeps] Vivian: That one is a handful. And not in a good way. Stefan: Mother, you know I love you, right? [No audible dialogue] But this is my home. There are rules. One of those rules is: Don't antagonize my wife. Vivian: Oh, right. The wife who loves you so much. Listen up, from what I have seen, she's more loyal to will and his family than she is to you. You keep her in line or you and I are going down. Sarah: Hey, yes. I just, um, wanted to call and confirm my appointment for tomorrow. Yes, I will be there. Thank you. [Stirring music] Kristen: Well, I will contact dr. Rolf and make necessary arrangements for him to be present at sarah's abortion procedure. He'll extract her embryo, implant it in me, and sarah will wake up none the wiser. Xander: This is-- Kristen: Monstrous, evil, blah, blah, blah. I am saving a child's life! Give me some credit. What I need from you is date and time. Hmm? Can you do that for me? Xander: I'll--I'll get them. Kristen: Where is your enthusiasm? You are about to get everything you want, courtesy of me. Xander: Because you're blackmailing me. Kristen: Yeah, but the prize is so yummy. Of course, it's your choice. I mean, you could back off and sarah will hate you forever. I mean, it's your call. What's it gonna be, xander? [Intense music] Xander: I'm in. Gabi: Oh. Good. Stefan: Hey. Gabi: Peace. That woman just makes me loca. Stefan: I know. Look, I am so sorry about my mother's insults. And I know how much you love will and even kate, which is why it means so much to me that you're keeping my mother's secret about what she did. Gabi: I didn't do it for her. I did it for you. I did it for us. And I know that we've wasted a lot of time hating each other. But I just think we have this amazing chance to have a normal life together and crazy mother could make us lose everything. Stefan: I know. That's why I'm working so hard to make sure that you-- mrs. Dimera--and i have a long happy life together. Kristen: Well, I expect to hear from you asap. Understood? [Door clicks open] Xander: Oh. Kristen: Brady. Well, this is a pleasant surprise. Xander: I was just about to give her the boot. I'll let you do the honors. Brady: What the hell are you doing here? Let me tell you something; this harassing me, this following-me-around thing, this is not acceptable. You hear me? Kristen: Why? Because you're afraid you're gonna give in like you almost did last night? Brady: Never. Never gonna happen, kristen. Kristen: So you say. Brady: I'm sorry. That's it? You're just gonna walk away this time? Kristen: For now. But not forever. Because there will be a day that you'll understand that we belong together. [Knocking on door] Xander: Sorry about kristen. Sarah: I've already forgotten about her. Xander: You okay? Sarah: I just confirmed my appointment for tomorrow at the clinic. Xander: Let me take you. Sarah: You don't have to. Xander: Look, I know how strong and brave you are. But tomorrow, you won't be alone. Sarah: You're kind of pushy. You know that? Xander: It's part of my charm. Sarah: [Chuckles] Xander: Look, are you... are you absolutely sure you don't want to have this baby? Sarah: I am. Xander: Then I will be with you every step of the way. Sarah: Thank you. Sonny: Kate isn't going anywhere. You said it yourself: She is the strongest woman you know. And just a year ago, marlena was on life support. And she pulled through. And do you really think kate's gonna let marlena upstage her? Will: That's a good point. A year ago, mom and john were fighting with belle, trying to keep her from turning off the machine. Sonny: Well, belle didn't have a choice. She was just honoring marlena's directive. Will: And now my dad's in the same position as grandma kate's proxy. Whatever happens next and whatever... whether she lives or dies is up to my dad. Kayla: We need to be prepared that julie could pass away at any time. Hope: I understand. Lucas: I--I don't understand. Are you telling me that's the only thing we can come up with, is a new heart? What about a procedure or some kind of medication? Kayla: The damage is too extensive. Hope: Julie's fighting so hard. But fighting is just not enough. We need a miracle. Kayla: Yeah. Lucas: Well, maybe there is a miracle. [Suspenseful music] Lucas: Would it be possible to give my mom's heart to julie?
