THE BRADY PUB

Lucas, Sami, Sydney, Johnny, and Allie are having a fun lunch together. Belle downstairs and eyes them. She smiles as she watches them. Sami looks over and sees her standing there. She can't believe her eyes.

Sami:

"Oh my gosh Belle!"

Sami gets up and walks towards Belle. Belle meets her halfway. They hug. Lucas, Allie, Johnny, and Sydney look on.

Sami:

"When did you get back in town?"

They stop hugging.

Belle:

"Just this morning we came straight here."

Sami:

"Shawn and Claire came too?"

Belle:

"Yeah they're getting cookies from Caroline."

Belle looks at Allie and Johnny.

Allie & Johnny:

"Aunt Belle"

Belle:

"Oh wow you guys have gotten so big."

Belle gives them a hug. Lucas stands up.

Lucas:

"Hey Belle"

Lucas and Belle hug.

Belle:

"So good to see you and Sami are back together."

They stop hugging. Lucas looks at Sami. They laugh a little.

KIRIAKIS MANSION

Honor is in the living herself some tea and a bagel. Joy rushes in.

Joy:

"Honor, I have been looking all over for you. What the heck are you doing in here?"

Honor:

"It's it obvious?"

Honor holds up her bagel and tea.

Joy:

"Philip is on his way home to take us out to eat."

Honor looks at what she's wearing. She's still in her PJs.

Honor:

"I can't go out looking like this. I mean we're not in New York City, but it doesn't mean I shouldn't dress to impress."

Joy:

"Exactly, now come on back upstairs before Victor gets home."

Honor puts down her tea, but takes the bagel with her. Joy and Honor look up to see Victor walking in.

Victor:

"What the hell?"

Joy:

"Mr. Kiriakis. Hey.

Victor:

"Am I supposed to know you?

Joy:

"It's me Joy Wesley."

Victor:

"Doesn't ring a bell."

Joy:

"I'm Chloe's sister."

Victor:

"You're related to that slut?

Joy:

"Excuse me?"

Philip rushes in.

Philip:

"What are you guys doing down here?"

Victor looks at Philip.

Victor:

"What's the meaning of this Philip?"

SALEM PD

Everyone's quiet at the station.

Natasha:

"Let's not all talk at once."

Roman:

"Hope might be the Salem Mugger. We're not sure."

Bo:

"We're sure she is."

Roman:

"Bo?"

Natasha:

"Which is it? Is she or isn't she?"

Hope walks over.

Hope:

"I am….I am the Salem Mugger"

Everyone turns and looks at Hope. Natasha is shocked.

THE BRADY PUB

Belle:

"What's so funny?"

B

Sami:

"Belle, um, Lucas and I aren't back together."

Belle:

"What? But you two…"

Lucas looks at Allie and Johnny.

Lucas:

"Hey guys, how about we go and get some cookies and see your cousin Claire."

Allie & Johnny:

"Yeah."

Allie and Johnny jump down from their seats and race Lucas to the back.

Sami:

"Belle, you haven't met Sydney yet."

Belle:

"Finally I get to meet the famous Sydney. Hey cutie."

Sydney smiles at Belle.

Sami:

"She's a little cranky. It's past her nap time, but she didn't want to miss having lunch with all of us."

Belle sits down. Sami picks up Sydney before she sits down.

Belle:

"So you can Lucas aren't together anymore but have lunch with each other?"

Sami:

"Yes Belle that is what friends do."

Belle:

"So just friends nothing else?"

Sami:

"Yes, why is that so hard to believe?"

Belle:

"Because I know you to. You guys can't be friends. You're too in love. So just skip all this friends' thing and get to walking down the aisle again."

Sami:

"That's not going to happen. Not this time. Well not with Lucas. Remember Rafe Hernandez, I've told you about him."

Belle:

"Yeah I remember. What's your point?"

Sami:

"The point is, is that we're in love and we want to be together."

Belle:

"And? You said the same about Brandon and Austin, but you ended back up with Lucas."

Sami:

"This time it's different."

Belle:

"You said that before too."

Sami:

"Oh my gosh Belle."

Sami laughs. They're interrupted by Sami's phone ringing. She looks at the id and sees Rafe's name. She answers.

Sami:

"Rafe hey what's up?"

Rafe:

"Hey where are you? We need to talk."

Sami:

"I'm at the Pub and there is someone I would love for you to meet."

Rafe:

"I'm on my way."

They hang up.

Sami:

"Rafe is on his way so you can meet him for yourself."

Sami smiles. Belle rolls her eyes then smiles.

KIRIAKIS MANSION

Philip:

"Joy and Honor are our guests."

Philip moves away from Victor and over next to Joy and Honor.

Victor:

"Honor? What kind of name is that? And slutty Chloe's little sister in my house? I won't allow it."

Philip:

"First, don't call Chloe that and second of all I live here too."

Victor:

"Not for long if you keep pissing me off."

Chloe slowly walks downstairs rubbing her belly. She stops and listens.

Philip:

"Joy and Honor were just staying the night. They're going back to New York later today."

Joy:

"I'm not going back to New York. I need to be here for Chloe."

Victor:

"Here's an idea. Why don't you go back to New York and take Chloe with you."

Chloe has heard enough. She walks to the living room.

Victor:

"Believe me Joy, Salem will thank you."

Victor says with a smile on his face.

Chloe:

"That's enough Victor."

Victor turns to see Chloe enter the living room.

Chloe:

"You can talk to me anyway you want to, but you won't do the same to my sister."

SALEM PD

Natasha:

"You're the Salem Mugger? Really? The lead detective on the case is the perp? What kind of circus did I just sign up for?"

Hope:

"Yes it's true."

Justin:

"There's more to it than that."

Natasha:

"Really? Do tell."

Justin:

"Yes you see there was a sleeping pill that she took that altered her personality."

Natasha:

"So a pill made her do it? That's your defense?"

Dr. Baker:

"It's the truth. I'm a doctor and I've heard about this drug doing that to someone."

Natasha:

"And I'm guessing you're Dr. Baker?"

Dr. Baker:

"Yes I am. And I was Hope's accomplice."

Natasha:

"Accomplice? This is all too much. Bo and lawyers we all need to talk."

Bo:

"We can go to my office while Hope and Baker go to holding."

Natasha, Bo, Justin, and Alex head back to Bo's office to talk.

Roman:

"Officer Parker"

Officer Parker:

"Yes Commander."

Roman:

"Take the Doc to holding please."

Officer Parker:

"Yes sir."

Officer Parker walks over to get Baker. Baker looks at Hope.

Hope:

"Wait! Why am I not going to a holding cell?"

Roman:

"You don't want to be in there Hope."

Hope:

"I'm a criminal. That's where criminals go."

Roman pauses.

Roman:

"Take Hope to holding cell as well."

Roman and Abe watch as Office Parker takes Dr. Baker and Hope to a holding cell.

Abe:

"This is not good. I fear Natasha will do whatever it takes to put Hope in prison for this to make an example out of her."

Roman:

"Just hope that Bo and Justin can do something about it."

THE BRADY PUB

Sami:

"You're going to love Rafe trust me."

Belle:

"I'm sure I will love Rafe, but I also love Lucas and you love Lucas."

Sami:

"And that's true. I do love Lucas."

Belle:

"See that wasn't so hard."

Sami:

"Not in the way that you think I do. That love is for Rafe."

Rafe walks up behind Sami.

Rafe:

"Did I just hear my name?"

Sami smiles because she knows it's him. She and Sydney get up and she gives him a big kiss. Sami turns to look at Belle.

Sami:

"Rafe, this is my little sister Belle. Belle, this is Rafe."

Rafe:

"Nice to finally meet you. I've heard so much about you."

Belle stands up and pulls Rafe into a big hug.

Belle:

"It is so good to meet you also."

Rafe is confused by the hug. They stop hugging.

Belle:

"I've heard so much about you too."

Sami:

"Um Belle, could you take Sydney up to Grandmas for a nap please?"

Belle:

"Of course."

Belle takes Sydney from Sami's arms and they head upstairs.

Rafe:

"Your sister is very friendly."

Sami smiles.

Sami:

"She is. So what did you have to talk to me about?"

Rafe:

"It's about Anna."

Sami:

"What about her?"

Rafe:

"She's dead."

Sami's shocked.

THE KIRIAKIS MANSION

Victor:

"How the hell did you get in here?"

Chloe:

"I stayed the night."

Chloe says with a smirk. Victor looks angrily at Philip.

Victor:

"Her too?"

Kate walks through the door and into the living room.

Philip:

"She's pregnant and had nowhere to go."

Victor:

"That's what the shelters are for."

Kate:

"Chloe's pregnant?"

Everyone looks at Kate.

Chloe:

"Yes I am."

Kate:

"Well congratulation to you and Daniel."

Victor laughs. Kate's confused.

Kate:

"What's so funny?"

Victor:

"Oh there's more."

Kate:

"More like what?"

Everyone looks at each other.

Kate:

"Hello? What's going on here?"

Chloe:

"Daniel might not be the father of my baby."

Kate rolls her eyes.

Kate:

"Well of course you would cheat on Daniel just like you cheated on Lucas. I hope this other guy knows what he's getting himself into."

Victor:

"Oh he does, but he was too stupid to stop while he was ahead. Don't you think so Philip?"

Kate looks at Philip.

Kate:

"No…no way. This can't be true. Tell me I'm wrong."

Victor:

"Nope you're thinking right."

Kate:

"Philip, why would you sleep with her? You cheated on Melanie, a woman that loved you."

Philip:

"Melanie didn't love me. She wanted Nathan and now she has him. We're getting a divorce."

Kate:

"No Philip, you can't go back to that slut."

Craig and Nancy walk in.

Nancy:

"Do not call my daughter a slut."

Everyone turns their attention to Craig and Nancy.

Chloe & Joy:

"Mom"

Victor:

"How the hell did you two get in here? I need to hire better security."

Craig:

"The Butler let us in."

Nancy:

"What the heck is going on here?"

Kate:

"Your daughter seduced my son, ruined his marriage, and now she's pregnant."

Nancy and Craig are shocked.

BO'S OFFICE: SALEM PD

Natasha:

"So you guys think this pill really altered Hope's personality."

Justin:

"Yes we do. The doctor is even willing to testify."

Natasha:

"This all sounds so crazy."

Bo:

"It does, but Hope has been acting quite strangely since she started the pills. I think it's the truth."

Natasha:

"Okay well get the doctor down here because I'm going to see if I can get an arraignment today."

Natasha walks out of the office.

Alex:

"I'm going to call the doctor's office right now to see if he's available."

Justin:

"Great and I will talk to Hope."

Alex walks out of the room. Justin is about to follow her, but Bo stops him.

Bo:

"Justin, wait."

Justin turns to Bo.

Justin:

"Sure Bo. What's up?"

Bo:

"Do you think you can really get Hope off? Will she serve any jail time?"

Justin:

"I can't say for sure, but we have a strong case."

Bo:

"Good to know. I trust you."

Justin:

"Thank you."

Justin leaves. Bo's worried about Hope. Doug and Julie enter the police station. They see Roman and Abe. They approach them.

Doug:

"Roman, Abe. Have either of you seen Bo or Hope?"

Julie:

"We tried calling both of them and either have picked up."

Roman:

"Bo is in his office."

Doug:

"Thank you."

Doug and Julie walk to Bo's office as he's walking out.

Julie:

"Bo, have you seen Hope?"

Bo pauses. He thinks of a way to break the news to them.

Doug:

"Bo? What's wrong?"

Bo:

"Hope was arrested."

Julie:

"Arrested for what?"

Bo:

"She's the Salem Mugger."

Doug and Julie are shocked.

BRADY PUB

Sami:

"Anna's dead? How did this happen? What happened?"

Rafe:

"Her food was poisoned."

Sami:

"Of course, great. Now what? How will we get EJ? He can't be free. He'll take the kids away from me. I can't lose Sydney again. I never want to let her go again."

Rafe:

"We don't even know if EJ made it out of that fire."

Sami:

"Are you kidding me? Of course he did. He's a DiMera. They never die. They just keep coming back to destroy everyone's lives. EJ is out there. He's probably hiding right under our noses."

Sami turns away from the window. Rafe walks up behind her. Outside, Nicole looks through the window at Rafe and Sami. She looks away.

Nicole:

"Finally I find them. Now, what will I do?"

Back inside, Rafe tries to calm Sami down by rubbing her back.

Rafe:

"Sami, it's okay. If EJ's alive we'll find him."

Sami turns around quickly.

Sami:

"Is that supposed to reinsure me? Anna was in prison and still the DiMera's got to her. What's stopping EJ from coming here and taking Johnny and Sydney?"

Sami pauses.

Sami:

"Wait, I need to get my kids. I have to see them."

Lucas walks back in. Sami turns around.

Sami:

"Lucas? Where are the kids? I need to see them."

Lucas:

"They're playing upstairs with Belle and Shawn. Calm down, what's wrong?"

Sami:

"Anna died in prison. EJ got her."

Lucas:

"How?"

Sami:

"He poisoned her food and now he's coming for the kids."

Lucas:

"You don't know that. EJ's probably in hiding coming up with a way to get himself out of this mess and by that time it'll be too late."

Nicole walks in and sits at a table by the door. She pulls out a paper and puts it front of her face.

KIRIAKIS MANSION

Nancy:

"Chloe, you're pregnant?"

Chloe:

"It's not the way I wanted you to find out but yes."

Craig:

"And Philip's the father."

Kate:

"Might be the father. Don't get too happy."

Nancy:

"Like we would be happy about this? We don't want Chloe with Philip any more than you two do."

Chloe:

"Who said anything about us getting together? There is still a very good chance that Daniel is the father."

Victor:

"Right, like Daniel would take you back after seeing you for the slut that you are."

Nancy and Craig get mad.

Craig:

"Okay that's enough of that. No more calling our daughter names."

Victor:

"This is my house. I will call anyone whatever I want to."

Philip:

"Okay can we just stop the arguing already?"

Nancy:

"Philip and I agree on something. We're not going to stand here and take abuse from a thug and a murderer. Come on girls let's leave. Let's go back to New York."

Chloe:

"No mom. I can't leave Daniel."

Joy:

"And I'm not going if Chloe's staying. I want to be there for her."

Chloe turns to Joy.

Chloe:

"No Joy, you need to go back home."

Kate:

"I don't care where any of you go, but you need to get the hell out of my house."

Craig:

"Gladly."

Nancy:

"Come on girls go and get your stuff. I'll help. The sooner we leave the better."

Honor:

"But it was just getting good."

Joy and Honor leave the room.

Nancy:

"I hope you girls didn't eat anything."

Nancy stares at Kate and then follows Joy and Honor to get their stuff. Kate rolls her eyes then focuses her attention back to Chloe and Philip.

Kate:

"So when's the DNA test?"

Chloe:

"What so you can change it?"

Craig:

"Chloe, can we talk in private please?"

Chloe walks towards Craig. They walk out into the hallway. Philip walks up to Victor and Kate.

Kate:

"Philip how could you be so stupid?"

Philip:

"It was a mistake yes. Do I regret it? No."

Kate:

"Don't tell me you're in love with her."

Philip smiles.

SALEM PD:

Doug:

"The Salem Mugger? That's can't be. Hope would never do something so cruel."

Bo tries to speak, but Julie interrupts.

Julie:

"How could you Bo? How could you think Hope would do this?"

Bo tries to speak again, but Doug interrupts him this time.

Doug:

"I know the two of you are having problems, but that doesn't mean you should do this to her."

Bo:

"Can I speak now?"

Doug and Julie pause.

Bo:

"There is proof Hope is the Salem Mugger, but you're right she would never do anything this cruel. It was a sleeping pill she was take that made her do this."

Julie:

"A sleeping pill?"

Doug:

"How does a sleeping pill cause you to go out and attack people?"

Bo:

"I'm not sure, but Justin and Alex are sure they can convince a judge of it."

Doug:

"Who's Alex?"

Bo:

"Justin's lawyer assistant."

Bo watches as Natasha comes back over.

Natasha:

"The arraignment is set. It's in 1 hour courtroom B."

Natasha walks off.

Julie:

"Who was that?"

Bo:

"Our new DA."

THE BRADY PUB

Sami:

"But what now? Anna's dead so she can't testify against him so we have no proof that he kidnapped Sydney."

Sami has a flashback of being at the penthouse.

Sami:

"Rafe, where are you? Anyways, I'm at the penthouse getting some stuff to stay at Lucas' tonight with the kids. When you get this can you please call me on Lucas' cell because mines is about to die and I don't know where the charger is and I don't have time to look for it because Lucas will be here any minute…"

There's a knock at the door.

Sami:

"…Never mind he's hear I'll talk to you later bye."

Sami throws the phone on the couch then grabs the bags and heads for the door. She opens it.

Sami:

"Alright I'm ready to go Lucas…"

She stops in her tracks when she notices its EJ leaning in the door frame.

EJ:

"Sorry, wrong baby daddy."

Sami comes back.

Sami:

"My phone. I left it in the penthouse."

Rafe:

"Yeah what about it?"

Sami looks at Rafe.

Sami:

"I called you Rafe and I left you a message and I don't remember turning my phone off."

Rafe:

"And EJ attacked you."

Lucas:

"So the whole fight is on Rafe's voicemail."

Sami:

"I hope so. EJ threatened to kill me. If that's on there we have a case."

Nicole thinks to herself.

Nicole:

"Oh no. This is going to difficult."

Rafe pulls out his cell.

Rafe:

"Let's check it then."

Nicole panics.

KIRIAKIS MANSION

Victor:

"I hope that smile means no."

Philip:

"It means it think its funny how you guys just jump to conclusions."

Kate:

"So you're not in love with Chloe?"

In the foyer, Craig and Chloe talk.

Craig:

"Chloe, what's going on here? What happened with you and Daniel?"

Chloe:

"I thought Daniel was cheating on me with Carly Manning."

Craig:

"So you thought he was cheating on you so you cheated on him?"

Chloe:

"What happened with me and Philip was…I don't know. It just all happened so fast. We were drunk and we swore we wouldn't tell anyone."

Craig:

"But then you ended up pregnant."

Chloe:

"Yeah, but it was Nathan Horton that told. He found out somehow and told Melanie."

Craig:

"And Melanie is Philip's wife."

Chloe:

"Soon to be ex. She never loved Philip anyways. She always wanted Nathan. Philip saw them kissing. That's why he came over that night drunk. That bitch never deserved him anyways."

Craig:

"So who deserves to be with Philip? You?"

Chloe pauses. Her phone rings. She looks at the id and sees it's from University Hospital. She answers.

Chloe:

"Hello? Hi yes this is she. Okay I'll be right there."

Chloe hangs up.

Chloe:

"That was the hospital. The DNA results are in. I need to tell Philip."

Chloe walks back into the living room. Craig follows. Victor, Kate, and Philip look up at them.

Victor:

"You're still here?"

Chloe looks at Philip.

Chloe:

"The results are in."

Chloe and Philip stare at one another.

THE BRADY PUB

Rafe begins to play his voicemail. He puts it on speaker so Sami and Lucas can hear.

"Rafe, where are you? Anyways, I'm at the penthouse getting some stuff to stay at Lucas' tonight with the kids. When you get this can you please call me on Lucas' cell because mines is about to die and I don't know where the charger is and I don't have time to look for it because Lucas will be here any minute…"

There's a knock at the door.

Sami:

"…Never mind he's hear I'll talk to you later bye."

Sami throws the phone on the couch then grabs the bags and heads for the door. She opens it.

Sami:

"Alright I'm ready to go Lucas…"

She stops in her tracks when she notices its EJ leaning in the door frame.

EJ:

"Sorry, wrong baby…"

Nicole bumps into Rafe and Rafe drops his phone.

Rafe:

"What the hell?"

Rafe, Sami, and Lucas stare at Nicole.

Nicole:

"Whoops! I'm sorry."

Sami:

"You bitch. You did that on purpose."

Nicole:

"Did what on purpose?"

Rafe bends down to pick up his phone. It's broken. He picks up the pieces then stands back up.

Sami:

"You knocked Rafe's phone out of his hands so we couldn't finish hearing the message."

Nicole:

"I don't know what you're talking about. I just walked in here and accidentally bumped into Rafe."

Lucas:

"Sure you did."

Sami:

"You've talked to EJ haven't you?"

Nicole:

"I haven't seen EJ since he stormed out of my hospital room last night looking for you."

Sami:

"Well he found me and tried to kill me. That is what was on the message."

Nicole:

"Are you serious? And I messed it up? Dammit."

Rafe:

"Like you're really sad about this."

Nicole:

"I am."

Lucas:

"No one believes you Nicole."

Sami:

"You've talked to EJ. I know you have."

Nicole:

"Like I said. I'm sorry and no I haven't talked to EJ since last night. I'm not going to stand here and get harassed by the 3 amigos. I'm out of here."

Nicole rushes out of The Pub and runs into Brandon who's on his way in.

Nicole:

"I'm sorry."

Brandon:

"It's okay."

They stare at each other.

Nicole:

"Brandon. What are you doing here?"

Brandon:

"I'm here to see you. What have you been up to?"

Nicole swallows hard.
