UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL
Nathan walks in to get his hand look at. Daniel sees him holding his hand.
Daniel:
"Nathan? What happened to your hand?"
Nathan:
"I um…."
Nathan flashes back to Stephanie slamming the door on his hand. He comes back.
Nathan:
"I closed it in a door."
Daniel doesn't seem to believe him.
Daniel:
"Let me take a look at it."
Daniel takes his hand.
Nathan:
"Ouch."
Daniel:
"I don't think it's broken, but we can do an x-ray just in case."
Nathan:
"That sounds good."
MAGGIE'S HOUSE
Melanie:
"I'm guessing Nathan broke the news to you."
Stephanie:
"So you did send him over there?"
Melanie:
"No that was all Nathan. He wants to be with me. That's why he wouldn't stop till I left Philip."
Stephanie pushes Melanie out the way and walks in.
Melanie:
"Um..ouch."
Melanie closes the door.
Stephanie:
"Oh so you left Philip because Nathan asked you to."
Melanie:
"Oh he didn't ask…he begged. He has been looking for anything that would get me to leave Philip since he found out what the letter really said. In fact the night he told me. He kissed me."
Stephanie gets mad. Melanie notices.
Melanie:
"In fact, that's the kiss that Philip saw that causes him to run on over and sleep with Chloe."
Melanie smiles. Stephanie gives her a dirty look.
THE PARK
Lucas enters the park with Allie and Johnny.
Allie:
"I miss Alex."
Johnny:
"Me too Alex is cool."
Lucas:
"I know, but she has to work for a little bit, but then we'll meet her at the Pub for lunch. How does that sound?"
Johnny:
"Only if we can have chicken nuggets."
Lucas:
"Of course."
Allie:
"Can I have a cheeseburger?"
Lucas:
"Of course you guys can have whatever you want. Now go work up an appetite."
Johnny:
"Your dad's cool Allie."
Lucas hears and smiles. Allie smiles. They run to the playground. Philip walks up.
Lucas:
"I'm a cool dad."
Philip:
"Hey cool dad can you give me some pointers?"
Lucas turns around.
Lucas:
"Hey Little Bro. Nice haircut."
Philip:
"Thanks. Is what I read in the paper true? Could EJ DiMera be dead because of you?"
Lucas squints his eyes.
THE SALEM GRAVEYARD
Abe stands up and walks towards DA Woods and Chad.
Abe:
"Charles, now I know that you're upset, but why are you saying all this?"
DA Woods:
"Because it's true and I can prove it. I can't have kids. Madeline had you before I met her. I fell in love with her before I knew about you. I loved her so much that I was willing to be a father to her bastard son."
Chad:
"Alright then so who's my real father?"
Will and Mia look at each other.
DA Woods:
"Madeline never told me his name. Probably someone she went to college with. I could care less."
Chad looks down.
DA Woods:
"Now can you get lost so that I can say goodbye to my wife."
Chad looks DA Woods in his eyes then takes off. Gabi takes off after him. DA Woods turns to face the crowd.
DA Woods:
"Now if anyone thinks that I'm a heartless bastard, you may leave now as well."
Tad:
"Well I guess that's us."
Tad and Kinsey walk away. Will and Mia follow. Lexie walks up to DA Woods and stands beside Abe.
Lexie:
"For the record, I think that you're a heartless bastard, but I will stay to pay my respects to a dear friend. Then I will reach out to her son and hope to help him in any way I can."
Lexie turns around and goes back to sit down. Stefano and Kate stand in the back.
Stefano:
"Maybe we should leave as well."
Kate:
"Yes maybe we should."
Stefano and Kate walk away.
NEW YORK CITY HOSPITAL
Mimi hangs up her phone. Nancy stands up next to her.
Nancy:
"Is everything okay?"
Mimi:
"Yeah..well no. It's my mom. She found her cellmate dead this morning. She's a little freaked out about it. She wants me to come see her."
Nancy:
"Then go."
Mimi:
"I can't right now. I asked for these extra shifts."
Nancy:
"I'm sure Craig can work out something for you."
Mimi:
"Yeah, but I don't think that's such a good idea. I never told anyone that my mom's in prison except you, Craig, and well you know."
Craig walks in the Chief of Staff Dr. Chris Gordon. They walk up to Mimi and Nancy. The ladies turn around.
Dr. Gordon:
"I have some bad news Nurse…umm…"
Craig:
"Lockhart."
Dr. Gordon:
"That is what I was about to say…Nurse Lockhart…you're fired be gone…now."
He walks away.
Mimi:
"What?"
Nancy:
"Craig."
Craig:
"I tried everything I could do to save your job Mimi, but we had to cut some nurses because Gordon didn't want to lower the salaries of some of the higher paid doctors. So they decided to cut some nurses and your name came up."
Mimi:
"Of course because I asked for more shifts."
Craig:
"No most of those shifts were to cover for Dana Mueller. Who's name also came up."
Mimi:
"But they didn't cut her because she's slept with half the doctors and administrators including Dr. Gordon."
Craig:
"Yep. I'm so sorry Mimi."
Mimi:
"Thank you, but it's not your fault that I'm not slutty enough to keep employment. Well I'll see you guys whenever."
Nancy:
"Oh Mimi."
Mimi walks to the elevator and presses the down button.
Nancy:
"That little witch Dana and that jackass Gordon. I could ring both their necks."
Craig:
"I could too, but right now I want to know about Joy."
Nancy:
"Oh right our daughter. She texted me she's in Salem with Chloe and dragged Honor with her. I tried calling Honor's parents, but they didn't answer."
Craig:
"They're in Costa Rico this week."
Nancy:
"Of course why parent when you can go on vacation."
Craig:
"Alright calm down Nancy. Let's go to Salem and get Joy and see Chloe."
Nancy smiles. Mimi makes a phone call.
Mimi:
"Hey um…yeah I am going to visit my mom and wonder if you could…awesome thanks you….I knew you would, but I still had to ask. You're the best. Bye."
She hangs up the phone and gets on the elevator and leaves the hospital.
PUERTO RICO
Bo pushes Baker down in his seat.
Bo:
"Don't move till we get to Salem."
Baker opens his mouth.
Bo:
"And don't say anything either."
Hope walks up.
Hope:
"Bo, please stop."
Bo turns around.
Hope:
"Baker isn't the only person that's done something wrong. I have to. So please, don't treat him any different than you would treat me."
Bo:
"I'm sorry. I just can't believe that you did any of those things."
Hope:
"Well I did."
Bo:
"We're going to figure all of this out when we get back home."
Bo and Hope glare at one another. They're interrupted by Claire who rushes over to them.
Claire:
"Grandma! Grandpa!"
Bo:
"Claire hey."
Bo picks her up. Hope smiles. Belle and Shawn are close behind.
Claire:
"I missed you guys."
Hope:
"We missed you to so much too."
The flight attendant walks up to them.
Flight Attendant:
"We need everyone to take their seats."
Bo puts Claire into her seat. Everyone sits down. Hope sits between Baker and Bo. Shawn, Belle and Claire sit behind them. Brandon walks on the plane and sits across from Bo. Bo sees him.
Bo:
"Brandon hey."
Brandon:
"Hey Bo."
Bo:
"Are you on your way to Salem?"
Brandon:
"Yeah. My mom called. She's really worried about Nicole so I'm going to check up on her."
Bo:
"I think that's a great idea."
UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL
Nathan sits in the lobby with ice on his hand. Daniel walks up with his results.
Daniel:
"Alright nothing is broken."
Nathan:
"That's great."
Daniel sits down.
Daniel:
"Now tell me what happened?"
Nathan:
"Alright. Stephanie slammed my hand in the door."
Daniel:
"Why?"
Nathan:
"Because I broke up with her for Melanie and she wasn't too happy with me about that."
Daniel:
"Can't blame her."
Nathan:
"Me neither. Just wish that I could have found an easier way."
Daniel:
"Nathan, there is no easy way to break up with someone."
Nathan:
"True."
Daniel:
"So I suggest you and Melanie steer clear of Stephanie…and doors."
MAGGIE'S HOUSE
Melanie:
"So basically your whole relationship with Nathan has been a lie."
Stephanie:
"No it hasn't. Nathan and I could have something real, but you had to ruin it just like you ruined me and Max and Philip and now Nathan. You just won't stop till I'm all alone."
Melanie:
"Okay first of all Max dumped you because you were trying to make me look like Trent's killer. You lost Philip because you didn't accept him for the way that he was. Most men don't want someone who wants to change him. Plus the night that we got it on, you were too busy chasing Nathan."
Stephanie yells.
Stephanie:
"I was not."
Melanie yells back.
Melanie:
"You ruined our date."
Stephanie rolls her eyes.
Stephanie:
"Gosh, you couldn't just suck it up and be a good little rich wife whose husband cheats on her? No you had to steal Nathan from me."
Melanie:
"That's just it Stephanie. You're not getting it. Nathan was never yours to begin with. He was just using you to hide the fact that he wanted me and I was so stupid to believe that I could be happy with Philip. But I'm awake now and Nathan and I are going to be together whether you like it or not. So stop being a big baby and get the hell out of here."
Melanie walks over to the door and opens it.
Stephanie:
"Whore. Like mother. Like daughter."
Melanie closes the door and rushes up to Stephanie.
Melanie:
"What did you say about my momma?"
Stephanie turns around.
Stephanie:
"Nothing bad. Just that you're just like your mother. She stole my Uncle Bo from Aunt Hope like you've stole Nathan from me. You two are the biggest tramps in town."
Melanie slaps Stephanie. Stephanie recovers and pushes Melanie into the table then starts to choke her.
Stephanie:
"I can so kill you right now."
THE PARK
Lucas:
"EJ's not dead. He's probably just hiding out waiting to strike again."
Philip:
"What does that mean?"
Lucas:
"Oh they didn't put that part in the paper."
Philip:
"What part? What else happened?"
Lucas:
"EJ is the one that hired Anna to kidnap Sydney."
Philip:
"What? That's just…"
Lucas:
"Sick? I know."
Philip:
"How did you find out?"
Lucas:
"Sami overheard EJ and Nicole fighting about it."
Philip:
"Wait, so Nicole knew about this?"
Lucas:
"Yeah she was blackmailing EJ to keep her dirty little secrets hidden."
Philip:
"Why am I not surprised?"
Lucas:
"Enough about EJ and Sami, what is going on with you and Chloe? Are you the father or not."
Philip:
"We don't know yet. We're waiting for the test results to come back."
Lucas:
"So what do you plan to do if you are the father?"
Philip:
"I hope that Chloe and I could get back together."
MAGGIE'S HOUSE
Melanie and Stephanie continue to fight. Melanie kicks Stephanie off of her. Stephanie stumbles and falls to the ground. Melanie gets down on the floor and is about to punch Stephanie when Nathan walks in.
Nathan:
"What the hell is going on in here?"
Melanie turns in Nathan's direction. Stephanie stands up quickly.
Melanie:
"Stephanie was trying to kill me. I was defending myself."
Stephanie:
"You started this whole thing."
Melanie's eyes widen.
Melanie:
"You came over here."
Melanie pushes Stephanie. Stephanie pushes back. Nathan gets in-between them and his hand begins to hurt.
Nathan:
"Ouch."
Nathan grabs his hand. Melanie notices.
Melanie:
"What happened to your hand?"
Stephanie punches Melanie. She falls into the table.
Stephanie:
"You both will pay for what you did to me."
Nathan watches Stephanie as she walks out the door.
THE PIER
Gabi follows Chad onto the Pier. She jogs to catch up to him.
Gabi:
"Chad wait up."
Chad:
"Gabi go away. I want to be alone."
Gabi:
"Chad, I don't think you should be."
Will and Mia walk up. They hide to spy on Chad and Gabi.
Chad:
"Well I want to."
Gabi:
"I know you feel…embarrassed…."
Chad:
"Embarrassed? Try humiliated. What a way to find out that my whole life is a lie."
Gabi:
"That's why I want to be here for you."
Chad:
"Why? I'm so screwed up."
Gabi:
"Because….because I love you."
Chad freezes.
Gabi:
"I'm sorry…I mean..I don't know why I said that. I mean…I meant it…it's just…um…maybe I should go."
Gabi turns to walk away, but Chad stops her.
Chad:
"No wait."
Gabi turns around slowly.
Chad:
"That means a lot to me…that you would say that…but…."
Gabi:
"…But you don't feel the same way."
Chad:
"I don't know how to feel right now."
Gabi:
"Understandable. Just know that when you…I'm here for you."
Chad:
"Thank you."
They hug. They stops and Gabi walks away. Chad looks out to the water. Will and Mia continue to spy.
Mia:
"I think we should tell him."
Will:
"Do you want him to jump in the water?"
Mia walks towards Chad.
Will:
"I guess that's a yes."
Will follows.
Mia:
"Chad"
Chad turns around.
Mia:
"I know who your real dad is."
Chad:
"What? How do you know that?"
Will walks up. Chad looks at him.
Chad:
"You know about this too?"
Will:
"Yeah. I saw the proof."
Chad:
"What proof? What is it?"
Mia:
"We'll show you."
PUERTO RICO
Brandon:
"Why do you say that? Do you know what's going on with Nicole?"
Bo:
"You don't talk to Nicole much do you?"
Brandon:
"I was in Africa for awhile so I've been out of touch. I've just been in Puerto Rico for about 3 weeks. I do know about everything Sydney and she went to prison, but after she got out I have no idea."
Bo:
"Well I'll let Nicole fill you in, but I will say this….she could use someone in her corner right about now."
Brandon:
"What am I about to walk into?"
Bo:
"One word. DiMera."
Brandon:
"This should be interesting."
NYC
Craig and Nancy make their way to the seats on the plane.
Nancy:
"I cannot wait to get to Salem. I'm so worried about my girls."
Craig:
"I know I am too, but we need to be calm and approach them calmly."
Nancy:
"Okay I will be."
They get to their seats and Nancy sees Mimi.
Nancy:
"Mimi hey."
Mimi:
"Hey guys."
Nancy and Craig sit down next to her.
Mimi:
"I know this looks weird. I just got fired and instead of looking for a job I'm going to visit my mom in prison across the country."
Nancy:
"No it doesn't. You want to see your mom. It's completely understandable after what happened to her."
Craig:
"What happened to Bonnie?"
Mimi:
"Her cellmate died…in the cell."
Craig:
"Oh my gosh. Do they know how she died?"
Mimi:
"They think she was poisoned."
Craig:
"Why"
Mimi:
"She was going to testify that she helped EJ DiMera kidnap his daughter Sydney."
Nancy:
"Oh yeah I heard about that. That was Anna DiMera. I didn't know that they caught her."
Mimi:
"Me neither. She wasn't there very long."
Craig:
"Those damn DiMeras."
Mimi:
"Yeah. I'm just hoping that my mom isn't in any danger because of it."
THE PUB
Carrie sits back down at the table with Derrick who's eating.
Carrie:
"Derrick, I'm so sorry I snapped at you."
Derrick:
"You don't have to apologize."
Carrie:
"I do. I was so rude to you when you were only trying to be nice."
Derrick:
"Your mom just died and I was trying to jam food down your throat. I would be pissed too."
Carrie smiles slightly.
Carrie:
"You're so nice."
Derrick:
"I try to be."
Derrick smiles. Carrie notices Stefano and Kate outside The Pub. They walk away from the window.
Carrie:
"I have to go take care of something's. I'll check up with you later."
Derrick:
"Um…okay."
Carrie gets up and walks outside The Pub.
Stefano:
"That was some funeral."
Kate:
"It was. I feel so sorry for Chad being humiliated in front of everyone thanks to Charles. I never understood what Madeline saw in him."
Stefano:
"Me neither. Well good thing is that he's leaving town. He was giving Abraham so much trouble."
Kate:
"Yes good thing. Now I'm just wondering who could be Chad's biological father."
Stefano:
"Who cares? Let's go home."
Kate:
"Sure why not."
Stefano and Kate walk off. Carrie follows slowly behind them.
THE PARK
Lucas:
"You what? Are you nuts?"
Philip:
"What is it nuts to be a father?"
Lucas:
"Because the mother is Chloe."
Philip:
"Is this about what happened between you two? Because that has nothing to do with me."
Lucas:
"No it has to do with what happened between the two of you. She cost you your marriage not to mention what happened in high school."
Philip:
"Chloe didn't cost me my marriage. Melanie was just waiting for something to happen because she just couldn't get over losing Nathan. And what happened in high school is in the past okay."
Lucas:
"Okay I'm just making sure you know what you're getting yourself into."
Philip:
"Yeah I do. I….I have always loved Chloe and if this baby is mine, then I'll believe that we were really meant to be like I thought back in high school."
Lucas:
"I thought what happened in high school was in the past."
Philip:
"Oh now you want to listen to me."
Philip and Lucas smile.
Lucas:
"Well it would be interesting if you were Chloe's baby daddy because then Daniel will feel just as stupid as I did when I found out about his and Chloe's affair."
Philip:
"Well then I guess it would work out perfectly then."
Lucas:
"You get the baby and Chloe. Daniel gets nothing. That would be a perfect world."
Philip:
"It would be."
Philip smiles showing off his dimples. Allie and Johnny rush over.
Lucas:
"What's wrong guys?"
Johnny:
"Can we go eat now?"
Lucas checks his watch.
Lucas:
"Yeah sure let's go guys."
Johnny:
"Yes."
Lucas looks at Philip.
Lucas:
"This is what you have to look forward to."
Johnny takes off. Lucas notices.
Lucas:
"Johnny wait up."
He picks up Allie and takes off. Philip watches.
Philip:
"I hope that I do."
He says to himself then walks off.

Tad:
"Are you ever going to look up from that thing?"
Kinsey:
"In a second. I'm checking FaceSpace. I can't believe what happened at the funeral is already up there."
Tad:
"I wonder how that happened."
Kinsey:
"It wasn't me I swear."
Tad:
"Then who?"
Kinsey:
"By a poster named I'mtoosexymyshirt. He was at the graveyard visiting his grandmas grave and overheard. How disguising."
Tad:
"I know eavesdropping then putting that info online."
Kinsey:
"No not about that. I just checked out his picture and he's so not sexy without his shirt."
Tad:
"Of course why would you care that one of our good friends' business is online."
Kinsey:
"Well if he didn't do it I was going to."
Tad:
"Of course again. I'm gonna go home."
Kinsey:
"I thought we were going to have lunch."
Tad gets up.
Tad:
"Somehow I lost my appetite."
He bumps into Kinsey when he walks past her and her phone falls on the ground.
Kinsey:
"Rude"
She bends down to pick it up. She looks up and sees Derrick looking at her. She stands up slowly. They stare at each other for a moment.

"Fancy seeing you here Agent Matthews."
Derrick stands up and walks over to her.

Stefano:
"Harold!"
Just then the door opens and slams shut. Stefano turns around as Carrie walks into his living room.
Stefano:
"Why the hell did you just let yourself in my house?"
Carrie:
"You wouldn't answer so I let myself in."
Stefano:
"I don't think I like your attitude."
Carrie:
"Too bad because you're going to hear me out."
MIA'S ROOM
Mia pulls out the DNA test and hands it Chad. He takes the paper, but doesn't look at it.
Chad:
"What the hell is this?"
