I KNOW YOUR SECRET
Rafe and Arianna stand face-to-face. "You need to get back into your cell." The guard told Arianna. "Okay." Arianna says. She turns around and goes back into the cell. The cell doors closes and Rafe walks up to her. "Where have you been?" Arianna asks. "I was worried." "You're worried about me? When you're in here?" Rafe asks surprisingly. "Yes. You might be the big bro, but I get worry as the little sis." Arianna reminds him. "Okay, but let's forget about me and tell me what the hell happened." Rafe answers. "And why are you looking for EJ?" "Because EJ believes that I'm innocent." Arianna explains. "He thinks no he believes that Nicole framed me. And I think he has the proof right now." "Oh really?" Rafe says. "Yes I was just on the phone with him when the line went dead." Arianna looks sadly at Rafe.
EJ bends down to pick up his crushed phone. He laughs. "You're going to take care of me?" He asks Nicole. "Yes I am. It's about damn time that someone takes you down and hard." Nicole tells him. "That sounds like a lot of fun, but not right now. I have to go free Arianna." EJ laughs. He turns to walk away, but Nicole grabs his arm. "Excuse me, but I guess you didn't hear me." Nicole yells. EJ turns around. "Oh I heard you, but I don't really care about you petty little threats." EJ tells her. "There is nothing you can do to stop me." "Yes there is. Everyone has secrets." Nicole reminds him. "I'm sure you did something to Sami and now you're hiding it. I just have to figure out what it is." EJ laughs. "Okay look go into the house. Search high and low, but you won't find anything at all. And you won't have time. I'm going to Arianna right now." "So you admit there is something that you're hiding from Sami?" Nicole asks. "I didn't say that." EJ says. "There is something what is it?" Nicole asks. EJ looks up at Stefano and Kate walk out of the house. "We're going to get the tape and you'll see her and you'll know why no one else can see it" Stefano says. "You told her about the tape?" EJ asks Stefano. Kate and Nicole are curious.
Chad and Will walk into the Salem U library. "Why are we in a library?" Chad asks. "This is where he hangs out." Will says. "There he is." Will and Chad walk up to a student on the computer. "Henry!" Will says. "Will Horton? What's up?" Will and Henry shake hands. "Who's this guy?" Henry asks. "This is my friend Chad. Chad this is Henry, the computer tech that I was telling you about." "Nice to meet you Chad" Henry says putting his hand out for Chad to shake. "Same here." Chad says. They shake hands. "So what can I do you boys for?" Henry asks. "We need you to help us find any connect that Chad's mom has with my Grandma Kate and her husband Stefano." Will explains. "Stefano? As in Stefano DiMera?" Henry asks slowly. "Yeah." Chad said. "No way man." Henry says. Will and Chad look at one another.
Mia and Melanie watch Philip and Chloe talk. They turn to face each other. "So you kinda know what Chloe's going through." Melanie says. "Yeah I guess." Mia says. "Hey didn't Philip and Chloe date in high school or whatever?" "Yeah they were high school sweethearts." Melanie answers. "They were even king and queen at the Last Blast or whatever. Why you ask?" "Just trying to keep everything straight." Mia goes to wipe down some counters. Melanie turns back to look at Philip and Chloe. "Great cover." Philip says. "I can't keep doing this." Chloe says. "Daniel's going to find out the truth." Just then Daniel walks in. "The truth about what?" Daniel asks. Philip and Chloe look up at him. He looks back at them.
"Nicole framing you? Why?" Rafe asks. "She wants Brady and she'd do anything to get him." Arianna answers. "What does Brady have to say about this?" Rafe asks. "He doesn't know." Arianna says slowly. "He doesn't know that you're locked up?" Rafe asks raising his voice. "He knows I'm locked up, but he doesn't know that EJ suspects Nicole." Arianna explains. "Why not?" "I didn't tell him." "Again why not?" "I wanted proof first." "And EJ has this proof?" "I know he does. I have faith in him." Rafe can't believe what Arianna is saying.
"Elvis calm down." Stefano says as he walks towards EJ. "Calm down really? After your betrayal?" EJ screeches. "I'm talking about the tape of our wedding." Stefano covers. "Yes Stefano wanted to show me how miserable I looked." Kate helps. Stefano eyes EJ. EJ calms down. "Well you two be on your married way then." EJ says. Stefano and Kate walk past EJ and Nicole. "You two have fun." Kate says. Nicole watches Stefano and Kate leave. EJ strokes his chin. "Hmmm….so what was that all about?" Nicole asks with a smile. "Nothing… nothing at all." EJ answers. "Really? You seem pretty freaked out when Stefano mentioned a tape." Nicole points out. "Nicole, don't waste your time." EJ says. "You don't have much more of it." "That's funny because I think my time just got extended indefinitely." Nicole smiles. "Keep dreaming Nicole." EJ tells her. "Now if you excuse me, I have somewhere to be." "Sure go ahead EJ. I'll just go and ask the police if there is some unsolved crime that could be connected to the DiMeras." "Go ahead Nicole. I don't care." EJ storms off. "Oh EJ. What is on that tape? And where can I find it?" Nicole says to herself before her phone rings. She looks at her id, it's Mia. "Hello Mia." Nicole says. "Hey Nicole, I was wondering if the offer to help me get Chad back was still on the table." Mia asks. "I have bigger fish to fry." Nicole says before hanging up on Mia. "Wait, ugh." Mia says. "Just what I was hoping you'd say."
"The DiMera's are scary people. They'll have me killed." Henry says. "No they won't. It'll all come back on me." Will says. "Stefano won't know you had any part in this. He wouldn't put a hit out on me." "I really need to know why my mom is so freaked out about me hanging out with Will and the DiMeras." Chad explains. "Okay I'll do it!" Henry says. "Okay what is your mom's name Chad?" "Madeline Peterson." Chad says. "Wait, Judge Madeline Peterson-Woods?" Henry asks. "Yeah" Chad says. "I don't think I can go any farther." Henry says. "First death with Stefano and now jail with Judge Mom?" "Look I'll take any responsibility if this gets out. I won't put your name into anything." Chad assures Henry. "No one will know you're helping us." Will says. Henry looks at both Will and Chad. "Okay. I'll do it." Henry agrees. Henry turns back to face his computer and gets to work.
"Are you keeping something from me Chloe?" Daniel asks. Melanie walks up. "Chloe, you should tell Daniel." Melanie tells her. "What's this big secret?" Daniel asks. "Maybe we should leave these two alone Mel." Philip says as he stands up. Daniel's phone rings. He checks the id. "It's the hospital. I have to take this." He says as he opens his phone. "Then I want to know what the big secret is." Daniel walks outside. "Chloe just tell him about the woman with the baby." Melanie says. Chloe stands up. "I will when…." Chloe starts but starts to feel dizzy. She walks along the table. "Chloe are you okay?" Melanie asks. "Chloe?" Philip says. Chloe begins to faint. Philip catches her before she hit the floor. They both sit on the floor. "Chloe, Chloe." Philip calls out to her, but no response. Melanie checks her pulse. " She's breathing, but I'm going to call 911 still." Melanie says. She opens up her phone and dials. "Hello we need an ambulance at Java Café. A woman has fainted." "Come on Chloe. What's wrong? Talk to me." Philip says sadly." Melanie watches Philip comfort Chloe.
EJ and Nicole walk into police office. "Why the hell did you follow me anyways?" EJ asks. "Going to turn yourself in?" "No I'm waiting for info on this mysterious tape." Nicole answers with excitement. "You're still hung up on this tape that doesn't exist?" EJ asks with a slight smile. "Oh but it does and you proved it by getting all worried when Daddy and Step Witch came out talking about a tape." Nicole reminds him. "So come clean with it or I'm going to have to talk to someone else about it." "Like who?" EJ asks curiously. "Roman or Bo Brady, I'm sure they'd be interested in what I have to say." Nicole answers. EJ laughs. "Oh yeah like they'll believe anything that came out of your lying mouth. Give it up Nicole, you lose!" The guard walks up to them. "You can go see Miss Hernandez now." The guard opens the door. EJ starts to walk in. "I win because you don't want anyone to know about the tape." Nicole whispers. EJ looks at Nicole angrily.
"You have faith in EJ? Seriously?" Rafe asks. "What has he done to you? Brainwashing?" "EJ didn't brainwash me." Arianna says. "I believe that Nicole could be this cruel to me. Just look at what she did to Sami and EJ." EJ grabs Nicole by the arms. "Shut up about the bloody tape already." EJ says. "Stop you're hurting me." Nicole yells. Rafe turns the corner and see EJ grabbing Nicole. "What the hell is going on?" Rafe asks. "Rafe" Nicole says. EJ lets Nicole go. Nicole walks toward Rafe. "So glad you're here." "And why is that?" Rafe asks. "I wonder if you can help me out." EJ turns to look at Nicole and Rafe. Rafe looks at EJ.
