At the coffeehouse, Melanie was happy that Abby told Austin and Carrie the truth about not sleeping with Austin. Abby told her that she didn't tell him the truth. Abby decided she wasn't going to tell Austin the truth. Melanie was furious. Melanie wanted to know what changed her mind. When Abby started to tell her, she didn't want to hear it. Melanie reminded Abby that Austin and Carrie love each other and there was nothing Abby could do about it. Abby told her that Carrie left Austin for Rafe and that Carrie has feelings for Rafe. She said Austin was a mess, but she was going to help him get through it. Melanie didn't want to believe it. Abby believed that all of this was happening for a reason. Melanie asked if Austin told her he was interested in her. Abby said no. The two continued to go back and forth about Abby telling the truth. At the Brady Pub, Austin and Jack talked about the guy who broke Abby's heart. Jack threatened to get the guy who hurt her. At the DiMera mansion, EJ was having trouble writing his speech. Kate came in and let him know that the speech was bad. He opened up to her about his feelings for Nicole. Kate told him that he needed to get over Nicole despite the fact that he loves her. Kate told him that he needed to focus on his career and his children. She reminded him that he has been through breakups before and got over them. Kate wanted to tell him some good news to help him feel better. She said that he would get his children back. When the children are back, she wants EJ to get his act together. She didn't want the kids to see him feeling sorry for himself. He wanted to know what she was up to, but she said too much already. Daniel showed up at Nicole's hotel room to check on Nicole. Daniel said that Nicole dehydrated and that was why she fainted. Rafe wondered if she should go to the hospital. Daniel said that Nicole didn't want EJ to know about the baby. Daniel said he would help her at the hotel since he had the IV bottles with him. Nicole was up and about. She apologized for having him come over there. He said it was okay and that he wanted her to call if she felt that way again. Daniel warned her that she would have to go to the hospital if she loses more weight. She promised to eat and drink. He wanted someone to stay with her to be on the safe side. Rafe offered to stay with her. When Daniel left, Rafe and Nicole talked about EJ and how Rafe thought she should tell him about the baby. Nicole thought she was doing the right thing. They talked about EJ and Sami. Rafe said even if he could forgive Sami for cheating, he couldn't forget the lies. Nicole knew what he meant. She was glad that he left him. Nicole did miss the children and would go back just to see them. Rafe told her that he kissed Carrie. Nicole was glad that he kissed her. She thought he did it to get even, but he told her that it happened before he found out about Sami cheating on him. Nicole asked if Rafe was in love with Carrie, but he said Carrie was married. Later on, Nicole got into her pajamas and went to sleep. Rafe took off his shirt just as EJ showed up in the room. Rafe wanted to know what EJ was doing there. EJ said that was the same thing he wanted to know about him. EJ wanted to know what Rafe was doing in bed with his wife. Nicole woke up. The three got into a huge argument. EJ accused Nicole of sleeping with Rafe. He called her a btch and a whre for sleeping with Rafe. Rafe punched him. EJ told him he would regret that. EJ said she had no dignity or class. He also warned Rafe to get himself checked out. He left the room. Nicole threw a glass and cried.
[Knock on door] Chad: Coming! Um, be right there! [Grunts] Gabi: Hey, look, I'm really sorry to show up like this, but I had to see you. Chad: Gabi, what are you doing here? Gabi: Okay, I have the most exciting news for you. Chad: Uh, okay. What's up? [SCENE_BREAK] Melanie: Hi. Abigail: Hey, thanks for coming. I hope I didn't steal you away from your date or anything. Melanie: No, no, no. Abigail: Okay, good. Melanie: I mean, I was on my way home from my date, but I still would have left had I been on my date. Abigail: Really? Melanie: Yes. This is really hard. I want you to know I'm here for you, okay? Abigail: Thanks. Melanie: Look, I know it doesn't feel like it right now, but telling Austin and Carrie that you didn't sleep with Austin is the best thing you could have done for everybody. Abigail: Melanie-- Melanie: I'm so proud of you. I am, that took serious guts. Abigail: I didn't. Melanie: You didn't what? Abigail: I didn't-- I didn't tell Carrie and Austin the truth. And I decided that I'm never going to. [SCENE_BREAK] Kayla: Oh, can I get you another? Austin: Uh, probably not a good idea. I kind of make stupid mistakes when I'm drinking. Kayla: Ah. Austin: You know what I mean, Kayla? Kayla: I absolutely do. Well, how about a water instead then? Austin: Good. Kayla: You know, it's less risky. Austin: Yeah, yeah. So... how's Bo doing? Kayla: He's about the same. Austin: If anyone can beat this, it's him. You know that. Kayla: Absolutely. Listen, thanks for your concern. I gotta get to work. Austin: Go do it. Kayla: Okay. Jack: Dining alone? Austin: Yeah. Heh, yeah. Jack: All right if I join you? Austin: Sure, sure. Jack: [Sighs] So how's it going? Austin: It's going okay. Um...nothing much. What's going on with you? Jack: Oh, nothing--same. So where's the lovely wife? Austin: Heh, well, that kind of beats me. Jack: What, is something wrong? Austin: Yeah. Yeah, you could say that. Jack: Oh, look, uh... hey, look, you don't need to tell me if there's-- Austin: My wife is... falling in love with another man. [SCENE_BREAK] EJ: "Good citizens... I don't want you to think of me as an authority figure. You should see me as a friend. It's the best--as man's best friend." Does that work? Kate: "Man's best friend?" You mean a dog? EJ: It's no use, I can't write this bloody speech. Kate: Oh, come on. I'm sure it's not that bad. EJ: Read it! Kate: Okay, this is bad. EJ: See? I told you. Kate: This is terrible. EJ: Thank you, you already mentioned that. Kate: Well, did Johnny write this? [Laughs] EJ: "Did Johnny write this?" That's enough. Kate: Sorry! It's just a joke. EJ: It's a joke--the only thing that's a joke around here is this speech. Kate: Darling, you are completely capable of writing a brilliant speech. You just need to find the right words. EJ: What I need is my PR person back. Kate: Well, I'll tell you what. Go out and buy yourself a blow-up doll, spray it with cheap perfume and it will be just like Nicole never left. EJ: Stop it. Okay? Look, I'm serious. I'm completely lost without her. [SCENE_BREAK] Rafe: Small sips. Nicole: I'm fine. Rafe: You are not fine. You were just out cold. Nicole: Look, I have morning sickness. Rafe: More like all day sickness. Nicole: Okay, you know, I'm tired, I feel like crap, which is totally normal. Rafe: Okay, for the record, I was with Sami most of the time she was pregnant with Sydney and this is not normal. Nicole: Well, Sami rocks at being pregnant. That's one of her only talents. You know what? People say if you feel really lousy that means the baby's sticking. And that is all I care about. Rafe: Okay, well, you need food and water. Nicole: Oh. Rafe: All right? And with the stress you're under, I'm worried about you. Nicole: You don't even like me. Which means you definitely don't have to worry about me. Rafe: Yeah, well, we'll see what Daniel says. Nicole: You called Daniel? Rafe, I told you that--mm! [Knock on door] Daniel: Hey, it's Daniel! Rafe: Hmm. Doc, hey. Daniel: Hey, hey. Rafe: Thanks for coming. Daniel: What's going on here? Nicole: A house call. Boy, don't I feel special? Daniel: You're feeling better, I take it. Nicole: Yes, I am. Look, I was just telling Rafe that you don't really to be help-- [Gasps] Rafe: Nicole, Nicole? Doc, Doc! Daniel: Okay, okay, here. Just hold her up, hold her up. [SCENE_BREAK] Gabi: Okay, close your eyes. Come on, come on. Chad: Ugh, all right, all right. What'd you get me? Is it candy? Please be candy, please be candy, please be candy. Gabi: [Giggles] Okay... open your eyes. Isn't this amazing? It's our first magazine ad. Okay, we're gonna be famous. [SCENE_BREAK] Melanie: You were supposed to tell Austin the truth. Abigail: I know, I know. Melanie: So what changed? Abigail: Everything. Melanie: No--nothing! I don't wanna hear anything else. Austin and Carrie, they love each other and there's nothing that you can do to change that. Abigail: Carrie left Austin for Rafe. Melanie: What? Abigail: Yeah. Carrie left Austin for Rafe and apparently she admitted to having feelings for him. Melanie: Oh, Austin, ooh. Abigail: I know. He was a wreck about it. But it's okay, you know? I'll help him get through it. Melanie: Abigail, no. Abigail: Melanie, listen to me. All this is happening for a reason. Carrie is supposed to be with Rafe, and I'm supposed to be with Austin. It's like we're meant to be together. [SCENE_BREAK] Jack: You may already know this but not too long ago I went through a similar situation with Jennifer. Austin: Yeah, yeah. Jack: I am here if you need anything. Austin: Jack, I-- I really appreciate that. I really do. [Sighs] Jack: So definitely changing the subject, you said-- uh, actually there is something I do wanna ask you. Austin: Sure, sure. Jack: It's about Abigail. [SCENE_BREAK] Daniel: She's severely dehydrated. Rafe: Should we get her to the hospital? Daniel: No, she doesn't want EJ finding out she's pregnant. Rafe: Well, I know that, but-- Daniel: No, I got IV bottles right here, I'll administer one right here. Rafe: Hey, Daniel? Daniel: What? Rafe: She and the baby are gonna be okay, right? Daniel: Well, I hope so. [SCENE_BREAK] Melanie: Look, Abby, you might think this whole thing is meant to be, but what about Austin? Abigail: What about him? Melanie: I don't know, has he mentioned to you that he's interested in being with you? Abigail: No, of course not. Not right now. He's still completely confused about what's happening to him. I mean, his wife gave up on their marriage. Melanie: Okay, but what happens when Austin finds out you two didn't sleep together? Abigail: Nothing. I told you, Austin will never find out because I'm never going to tell him. Melanie: No, you have to tell him! Abigail: No, I don't. It doesn't matter. Not now--not now that Carrie is leaving him for another man. I'm not just gonna let one silly little thing come between us, Melanie. And neither are you. Melanie: Neither am I? Abigail: Listen to me. You're my best friend in the whole entire world, and I have never asked you for anything. But please, please just do me this one favor. Please don't say anything to Austin. He can never find out the truth. He can't ever find out. [SCENE_BREAK] Austin: So, what--what about Abigail? Jack: Ever since she broke up with this guy that she refuses to name... she's been--I don't know, she's been withdrawn, she hasn't been herself. Austin: What's that got to do with me? Jack: Well, I know the two of you spend a lot of time together. Austin: I wouldn't say that we spend a lot of time together, Jack-- Jack: But more than she and I spend together. I mean, I know that you're her friend and maybe she might have talked to you. Austin: I'm sorry, Jack, she hasn't said anything to me, um, about it. Jack: It just worries me. It upsets me to see her so upset and so broken up over this-- this loser! Austin: Jack, here's the thing. She's--I really think she's gonna be fine, okay? She just needs a little bit of time to, uh, get over it. Jack: Yeah. Austin: Yeah. Jack: Yeah. You know what really makes me crazy about this whole break up thing? Austin: What's that? Jack: Is that I see my little girl hurting...hurting. And I know--I know that the guy who did it to her is probably right under my nose. Maybe in one of my classes. You know, maybe I wave hello to him every day when I walk across campus. If I ever find out who it is... I'm gonna make sure that he pays and pays for breaking my little girl's heart. [SCENE_BREAK] Kate: I know that you miss Nicole but you need to get over this. EJ: It's not that simple, Kate. Kate: Yes--yes, it is. It is that simple. You're a DiMera and DiMeras don't sulk, okay? So you need to stop whining. Stop whining and get back to work. I think you have a city to run, don't you? EJ: I know, I know. I've got too many jobs, not enough time. Kate: Okay, there you go. See? That's the spirit. EJ: Kate, Nicole has the spreadsheets, Nicole has the databases, Nicole has the action. Kate: [Sighs] Okay, so you wanna talk about Nicole? We can talk about Nicole, that's absolutely fine. 'Cause maybe talking about it will get it out of your system and then you can start functioning as a normal human being again. EJ: Look, I just can't help but feel that if I had told her the truth, none of this would have happened. If I hadn't lied to her. Kate: No, look, I am not gonna go down that "what if" road with you. You didn't tell her the truth and things just went forward and that's what you need to do now. You need to concentrate on the things that are really important to you, like your career and your children. That's what needs your attention. EJ: I know, I know. Kate: Look, I mean--I don't really wanna sound insensitive here but it's not like you haven't been through this before. You survived just fine. EJ: Well, I'm certainly not going to let this happen again. I can't. [SCENE_BREAK] Nicole: Mm. Daniel: Hello there. Nicole: Hi. Ooh, what happened? Daniel: Well, you were showing me how perfectly fine you were and then you collapsed in a heap. Nicole: I'm sorry. Daniel: No, no, don't be sorry. But next time you feel this way, you call me. Rafe: Told you. Nicole: Okay, yes, you told me. But hopefully there won't be a next time I feel this way. Look, when I was pregnant last time I had morning sickness for about eight or nine weeks. I should be better soon, right? Daniel: Well, I can't really promise you that and I hate to tell you, some women experience nausea for the whole nine months. Nicole: Oh, dear God. Daniel: No, but there are some things you can do to help yourself feel better. Now you can try keeping your blood sugar at an even keel. Eat small meals frequently. Rafe: Word to the wise, stop talking right now. Daniel: [Chuckles] Hey, if you keep losing weight, you will need to be hospitalized. Nicole: Okay, okay. I promise--I will eat, I will drink. I will do whatever it takes. Daniel: Okay. Considering your medical history I think we need to err on the side of caution. Nicole: I completely agree. Daniel: Which is why I insist somebody stay with you here. Just to be on the safe side. Nicole: Uh... I don't have anyone. Rafe: I'll do it. Nicole: Really? Rafe: Yeah. Unless you don't want me to. Nicole: No, I just don't want to put you out. Rafe: Where else am I gonna go? Nicole: Okay. Thank you. [SCENE_BREAK] Gabi: Uh, you're not saying very much. You don't like it, do you? Chad: What? No, no, no-- I mean, I'm just in shock. I mean, we're in a magazine. Gabi: I know, I know. And we look amazing! Chad: Yeah. Gabi: I just wanna say thank you for everything. I mean, I know this wouldn't have happened if you didn't agree to model with me. Chad: What? Don't be crazy. I mean, you would have totally done this on your own. Gabi: [Sighs] Chad: I mean, come on, look at you, you're a natural. Look how beautiful you are. Gabi: [Giggles] Chad... this is the best night of my life, okay? And I owe it all to you. Thank you. Chad: Yeah. Gabi: Oh! [SCENE_BREAK] Kayla: Okay, another water for you. Austin: Thank you. Kayla: And here you go, Jack. Jack: Thanks. So, uh, how's my big brother doing? Kayla: He's good. He's busy, working hard. Jack: He must miss you and Joey. Kayla: Yeah, of course, he does. But he understands I need to be here for my mom. What about you? Can I report anything back to him? Any big news? Jack: Uh, well, actually, yeah, maybe there is something. I'm actually working on a book about my time in Afghanistan. Kayla: Really? Jack: Yeah, yeah, I-- you know, I've been journaling when I was in therapy, and I got a lot of encouragement from Marlena, and I realized that I think there's a lot of people who deserve to have their story told. Kayla: Absolutely. Well, if anyone can do it, I'm sure it's you, Jack. Oh, duty calls. Excuse me. Austin: So when is the, uh, publication party? Jack: Oh, I'm not counting any chickens yet but, uh, I should have some good news soon. Austin: Oh, wow. Jack: Yeah. Austin: Yeah, well, congrats, man. Jack: [Chuckles] Austin: You know, my contract says I have to publish five journal articles. Now I'm just getting used to the whole teaching thing, but writing--I mean, I don't know the first thing about it. I don't know where to begin, you know? Jack: Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa. I mean, if you need any help with ideas, come to me. I can help you. I'll do it. Austin: Thanks, but come on. I mean, you have so much on your plate, Jack-- Jack: Oh, come on. Austin: Yeah! Jack: No, no, no, after everything you've done for Abigail, it's the least I can do. [SCENE_BREAK] Melanie: Okay, I'm not gonna tell Austin. Abigail: Oh, thank you, thank you so much. Melanie: Because you are. Abigail: No, no way! Melanie: Yes--now look, if you and Austin start a relationship, this secret is going to hang over your head for the rest of your life, you know? And it's Salem so he's gonna find out and he'll probably never forgive you. But if you tell him now, who knows, you know? Maybe he'll be totally understanding and you can start your new relationship, um, secret-free. Abigail: Yeah, maybe you're right. Melanie: Yeah! Of course, I'm right. Abigail: Okay. Melanie: Okay? Abigail: I think you're right. Then I have to tell him. Melanie: Yes, you do! You do, tonight. You should tell him tonight, okay? Abigail: Yeah. [SCENE_BREAK] Kate: So what if I give you some news? Would that get you out of your funk? Some good news? EJ: Mm, depends on the news. Kate: Well, let's just say in the not-so-distant future your children are going to be spending a lot more time in this house... which is another reason I want you to get your act together, because I don't want Johnny and Sydney witnessing this little pity party that you have going on. EJ: What are you talking about? Kate: No, I've said too much already. Just know that I'm working on it. And when everything is worked out, past wrongs will be righted for you and for me. [SCENE_BREAK] Nicole: Thanks again, Daniel, for coming over. And thank you for keeping everything on the down-low. Daniel: No, not a problem. Discretion is my middle name. I'm glad you could stay. Will you keep an eye on her? Rafe: Of course. Daniel: I will see you soon. Nicole: Hopefully not too soon, no offense. Okay, I will call you if I need anything, I promise. Daniel: Okay, good. Rafe: Thanks. Daniel: All right, you bet. Nicole: So, I think we should start the night off with a good old-fashioned pillow fight. And then get in our jammies and talk about boys. What do you say? Rafe: [Laughs] Wow. Nicole: Heh. Rafe: Let's talk about EJ. Nicole: Oh, that was one boy I did not want to discuss. Rafe: I know, but listen-- trust me. I can't stand the guy as much as you do. But do you really think keeping this pregnancy from him is the best thing to do? Nicole: Uh, yes, I think it's a great idea and it's none of your business. Rafe: No, you're right. It is not my business, but I think that we both agree that right now the most important thing is what's best for your child. Nicole: Keeping my baby away from EJ is the best thing that I could ever do. Rafe: Yeah, well, Sami thought the same thing, but-- well, we saw how that turned out. Kidnapping, custody battles. Is that what you really want for this baby? Nicole: I thought you were on my side. Rafe: I'm not taking sides. I'm just asking you to think about what's best for the baby. Nicole: [Sighs] You don't think I know that? Rafe: No, I know you know that. I know that's all you're thinking about right now, okay? Just--would you let me say one last thing? And then I promise you I will keep my opinions to myself. Nicole: Fine, fine. Rafe: Nicole, what you are about to do right now is gonna be hard, really hard. Trust me, I know. Now I am begging you to think about what Sami went through. And ask yourself... is it worth it? Sami suffered a lot. It was hard on everyone. Nicole: Are you still in love with her? Rafe: Despite what she did to me, I... yes, I still have feelings for her. They don't just go away. Nicole: Are you gonna take her back? Rafe: No. Nope. Even if I could forgive her for cheating on me, there's no way I could forgive the lies. Nicole: I know what you mean. [SCENE_BREAK] EJ: Whatever you are up to... stop it, Kate. I can't afford a scandal. Kate: Now I'm hurt. I thought you had faith in me. EJ: I don't have faith in anybody. I'm sure your intentions are wonderful, but I can't quite afford to take the risk. Kate: Ah, you know what the French say--"No noble thing happens without risk." EJ: I hate the French. So whatever it is you're trying to do, stop it. Kate: Well, if you insist. EJ: I insist. Really, I insist. Excuse me. Kate: Oh, EJ... you'll thank me in the long run. [SCENE_BREAK] Nicole: I don't regret leaving EJ. It's the best thing I've ever done. Rafe: But... Nicole: But I still miss Johnny and Sydney. And sometimes I think going back to him would be worth it. Just to have them in my life again like he promised I would. Rafe: Yeah, I know how you feel. Nicole: Sami's an idiot. Messing things up with you, you're a frickin' saint. Rafe: Well, to be fair... it wasn't all her. Nicole: Please do not defend her. Rafe: No, I'm not. What she did was... anyway, uh... I kissed her sister. Nicole: You kissed Carrie? Rafe: Yeah. Nicole: Well, you know what? Good for you, giving Sami a taste of her own medicine. That's fantastic. Rafe: No, no, no, I did it before I found out that she had cheated. Nicole: Oh. So, um... is there something between you and Carrie, or...? Rafe, are you in love with her too? Rafe: [Scoffs] She's married. Nicole: You're worse off than I thought. You're in love with sisters-- Brady sisters. You really are in trouble. [SCENE_BREAK] Daniel: Aah, there you are. I'm so sorry I'm late. Melanie: Oh, yeah! Ooh! It's okay, I'm just glad that I get to see you finally. Daniel: Yeah, I'm sorry about that too, but things have been a little crazier than I thought they'd be since I got back. Melanie: At the hospital? Daniel: Yeah... Melanie: Is it weird not doing surgery? Daniel: Um, no, it's not like that. It's not how I thought it would be, really. I still feel useful. Melanie: Well, you are. Daniel: Yeah. Melanie: [Chuckles] Daniel: You know, I think since I got back I put things into perspective. My time away helped me get my priorities straight with family and friends. [SCENE_BREAK] Kate: Well, isn't that nice? You go away on vacation and you come back a whole new man. Nicole: Okay. Rafe: Okay. Nicole: I'm in my jammies, time to talk girl talk. Are you ready? Rafe: I think we've done enough talking for tonight. Get some rest. Nicole: Oh, all right. Ooh, okay, how about one little game of Truth or Dare? Rafe: Okay, sure. I dare you... to go to sleep. Nicole: Oh! Rafe: All right? Nicole: This is weird... isn't it? Me and you getting along? Sleeping in the same room? Rafe: Weird is an understatement. Nicole: Heh. Um... thank you for doing this. I know we're not exactly friends. I do appreciate you sticking around. Rafe: Yeah. Hey, like I said... no trouble. Now get some rest, all right? We gotta get this baby strong and healthy. Nicole: Yes, the baby. My little miracle baby. Rafe: Heh. Nicole: It's the best thing that EJ's ever done for me. God, we could have had a great life, a really great life. I can't believe I went back to him. I am so stupid. Rafe: Hey, Nicole, you're not stupid. You're just human, that's all. Don't you worry. Don't you worry, honey, everything is gonna be okay. [SCENE_BREAK] Chad: All right, well, here's to us, the newest superstars of the modeling world. Gabi: [Laughs] To us. Chad: To us. Gabi: Oh, my God, Chad. I still can't believe this is actually happening. I mean, first magazine ads, then billboards, and then if we're lucky--fingers crossed, then TV commercials. I mean, this is just the beginning. Chad: Uh, maybe for you. Modeling isn't exactly the career path I had in mind. Gabi: Are you crazy? I mean, what's not to like? The fame, the glamour, the money. Chad: I don't know, that stuff just doesn't really appeal to me, that's all. Gabi: That's 'cause you grew up rich, and you don't know what it's like to be without. Chad: Oh, and you do? Miss designer jeans over there? Gabi: Hey, I wear designer jeans, yes, but that's because I worked my butt off to get them. Chad: Yeah, well, you do work pretty hard. Gabi: Yeah, I do. You wanna know why? Chad: Hmm? Gabi: That's because, you know, my mom worked three jobs and still struggled to put food on the table. Chad: [Sighs] Gabi: And when I was a kid I promised myself that I would never get to that place, that I would do anything it took to just--to provide for myself and my family. So if modeling is gonna make it possible for me than I'm gonna do whatever it takes, and nothing is gonna stop me. [SCENE_BREAK] Abigail: Austin, I really-- listen to me-- Austin: Not a good time, not a good time, I'm actually having a drink with your father! Ha! Jack: Abigail. Abigail: Dad? Jack: What are you doing here? Is something wrong? [SCENE_BREAK] Rafe: What the hell are you doing here? EJ: I should be asking you the same question--what the hell are you doing in bed with my wife? That was me trying to be discreet [SCENE_BREAK] Abigail: Nothing's wrong, Dad, you just, uh, you surprised me, that's all. Jack: Oh, sorry, sorry. It's just funny--we were just talking about you. Austin: Heh, yeah. Abigail: Oh, really? Austin: Um... Jack: So, what you doin' here, kid? Abigail: Actually, there's something I need to talk to Austin about. Some work stuff, some private work stuff. So, um, could you maybe give us a couple minutes alone, please? Jack: Oh, sure, sure. Trying to get rid of me, I see. Abigail: Dad. Austin: No, no, no, Jack, Jack. Abby, we're off the clock. I mean, work can wait, it's-- Abigail: Austin-- Austin: No, it can't be that important. Kayla: Hey, guys, I'm sorry to interrupt, but I just got a call from the hospital, and the nurse on duty thinks that maybe Bo is starting to come around. Jack: Whoa, really? Abigail: Oh, that's wonderful. Kayla: Yeah, I think I should get over there right away. Jack: Well, is there anything that we can do? Kayla: Well, as a matter of fact, if anybody here would maybe wanna watch the place and lock up for me at the end? Jack: Sure, I-- Austin: I'll do it! Kayla: Great, Austin. Okay, good--thanks, um, call me if you have any problem. Next time, okay? Jack: Yeah. Well, that's great about Bo, isn't it? Austin: Yeah, it's really great news. Really great. Um, I better get to work closing up. Good to see you, uh, Abby. Jack: Heh, yeah. [SCENE_BREAK] Melanie: Okay, well, not that I don't wanna sit here and watch you guys glare at each other, I'm gonna go home... ahem, unless you need me here? Daniel: No, no, I'm good. I got this. Melanie: Are you sure? Daniel: No, I'll see you at home. Melanie: Well, okay. Hi, Kate, yep... ahem. Daniel: So, what do you want? Kate: I don't want anything. I just noticed you here, and I thought I would drop by and say hi. And maybe find out about Bo's condition. Daniel: Since when do you care about Bo's condition? Kate: I don't, but my daughter Billie does. Any updates would be appreciated. Daniel: Well, I'm off duty right now, but I'll be checking on Bo soon. And if anything changes I'll, um, I'll let Billie know first. Kate: You've been spending a lot of time talking to Billie, haven't you? Daniel: I've just been spending a lot of time at the hospital. Kate: And at the spa... Daniel: Where we ran into each other. Kate: Yeah, right. Don't let it happen again. Daniel: Kate, uh, we live in the same town. Kate: I don't care. You stay away. You stay away from my daughter. [SCENE_BREAK] Chad: All right, I can see how much this modeling thing means to you. So to make sure I don't screw it up for you, I promise to be as studly as possible, okay? Gabi: Okay, but I don't think you have to try very hard. Chad: Oh, thank you. [Phone rings] Chad: Oops, uh, let me see who that is. Oh, it's Melanie. Gabi: Oh, good. Chad: Hey, you, what are you doing up? Melanie: Up? No, I was just hanging out with my dad. What about you, do you have an exciting evening? Chad: Uh, yeah, actually I am. Um, Gabi came over to celebrate. Melanie: Celebrate what? Chad: Well, the publication of our first ad for Countess Wilhelmina. Melanie: Oh, my gosh, that's so exciting! I can't wait to see it. Chad: Thank you, thank you. Um, how about we plan a romantic date for tomorrow night? You bring the wine, I bring the magazine. [SCENE_BREAK] Nicole: How did you get in my room? EJ: I got a key from the front desk. Rafe: What the hell are you doing? You can't just barge in here uninvited. EJ: As opposed to you who were invited, were you? I knew you didn't like to keep your bed very empty for long, sweetheart. Nicole: Look who's talking! Rafe: DiMera, I'm warning you. Get outta here. EJ: Oh, I'm sorry-- Rafe: Now! EJ: You wanna get in there for another round, do you? Be my guest, go ahead. Rafe: You're way out of line. EJ: I'm out of line? Rafe: Yeah. EJ: You're the one who's in bed with my wife. Nicole: Okay, wait--wait a minute here. EJ: You know what? Do me a favor, Nicky--shut up! Nicole: How dare you break into my room and act like the victim after what you did to me? EJ: You know what? I knew that you were a deviant little bitch! But for some reason I actually believed that you fell in love with me. I should've... I suppose once you're a whore... you're always a whore. Rafe: Hunh! EJ: Ah! [SCENE_BREAK] Chad: Ah, I can't believe how lucky I am. You know, I got this great modeling gig, I have amazing friends, but you know what makes it so much better? Melanie: What? Chad: I get to share it all with you. I mean, you're the best thing in my life right now, Mel, and I'm so happy I'm with you. Melanie: I'm so happy I'm with you too. Chad: So for tomorrow night, where would you like to go? Chez Rouge or Buddy's Burger Barn? Are you kidding me? Oh, please--no, no, no, come on, don't make me choose. Please, no. All right, look, it doesn't matter where we go. As long as I'm with you. [SCENE_BREAK] Daniel: [Laughs] Kate: I wouldn't laugh if I were you. Daniel: No? You think you can dictate who I talk to and where I talk to them? Really? You know, can I dictate that you never come within 100 feet of me, ever? Kate: Things would have been so much better if you had just stayed in Fiji. Or wherever it is that you went. What is it with you, Daniel? Hmm? First Chelsea... no, first me, then Chelsea. Now my daughter? You trying to make a record of it? All three generations of Roberts women? Daniel: You know, Kate, you have no idea what you're talking about. Kate: Oh, I know your sickness, Daniel. Daniel: No, paranoia is a sickness. Maybe you should see a doctor about that. Witch doctor. Good night. Kate: Bad night. Bad night, Doctor. [SCENE_BREAK] Austin: On the house, Jack. Jack: [Chuckles] Well, it looks like Austin is gonna be busy the rest of the night. Abigail: Yeah. Jack: Hey, you're really worried about this work thing, aren't you? Abigail: No, it's okay. It can wait, I'll just, um, I'll talk to him about it tomorrow. Jack: You want a ride home? Abigail: Sure, yeah. Jack: Okay. I'll go get the car. Abigail: Thanks, Dad. [SCENE_BREAK] EJ: Ah... ooh... [Laughs] Oh, you're gonna regret that. Rafe: Oh? EJ: Yeah. Oh, my goodness. Rafe: Bring it on, DiMera. EJ: Mm. Rafe: Come on. EJ: You know, on second thought, maybe I won't even bother. And you, my dear, I knew that you had no dignity and no class so maybe you've done me a favor after all. Rafe, favor for you--um, get yourself checked out, mate. Believe me, you don't know where she's been. Nicole: [Screams] [Glass shattering] Nicole: You son of a bitch! [Cries]
