"Finally, so I can leave this hell hole."
Ben (Under his breath):
"Yeah we're going to miss you too."
Ben:
"Could you sign this please and then you can be on your way."
Nicole walks over to Ben and signs the papers.
Nicole:
"Now it's official. Thank goodness"
Nicole picks up her stuff and starts to head to the door. Ben stops her.
Ben:
"Oh wait before you go"
Nicole turns around.
Nicole:
"What now? I thought I was free."
Ben:
"You are, but I wanted to inform you about a prenatal vitamin for you."
Nicole:
"Lexie already gave me a prescription for some."
Ben:
"I know, that's generic. But after reviewing your case, I think you're a great candidate for a new brand."
Nicole:
"Reviewing my case? You're not my doctor. Lexie Carver is."
Ben:
"Not anymore. I am."
Nicole is shocked.

"Anna? What about Anna? I didn't do anything to her."
Carrie:
"Oh of course why would you admit to murder?"

Kate:
"Murder? What's going on? Is this about EJ?"

"Sarah, hey."
He stands up not taking his eyes off of her.

Sarah:
"Thank you"
Derrick sits down.
Derrick:
"You're welcome."
Sarah:
"So what brings you back to town?"
Derrick:
"I was helping a friend with a case."
Derrick hesitates to answer. Sarah stops smiling.
Sarah:
"Of course it's a case. I mean why wouldn't you want to come back to see your daughter?"
Derrick:
"It's not like that. I was going to call you guys."
Sarah:
"But you didn't."
Derrick:
"I just got into town last night."
Sarah:
"Phones work at night."
Derrick:
"It was late and I had to go down to the prison and help with booking."

"I haven't really even had much sleep."
He takes a sip of coffee.

"Okay you're forgiven for now, but I still don't think you would have called."

"There's no choice. I'm more advance at high risk pregnancy than Dr. Carver."

"Oh. Well then Dr…."
Ben:
"Walters, Dr. Ben Walters."
Nicole:
"Dr. Walters, you are my doctor now."
Ben:
"At your service."
Nicole:
"So these new prenatal vitamins could help reduce the risks?"

"It's very possible. I have a trial size bottle for you and information on the drug."

Ben:
"Try it out for a few days see how you feel and then I'll see how it's working at your next check up in a couple of weeks."

"I'm an FBI agent."
Mimi:
"Officer, FBI agent, whatever."
Rafe:
"This is official FBI business Gigi."
Mimi:
"It's Mimi."

"Gigi, Mimi, whatever. It doesn't matter what your name is. You need to leave."

Bonnie:
"No you need to leave Rafe. I don't have anything to say to you about Anna."
Rafe:
"Ms. Lockhart, I can assure you that the DiMera's won't come after you."
Bonnie:
"Yeah and you promised Anna that and now she's dead."

"Wait, Anna's dead?"
Carrie:
"Yes Kate, and your husband ordered the hit."
Kate looks at Stefano in shock. Stefano looks at her then to Carrie.
Stefano:
"I didn't kill Anna. I don't even know where she is."
Kate has a flashback of listening in on Stefano and EJ's conversation last night about Anna.
Stefano:
"How on earth did he find Anna?"
EJ:
"A FBI agent tracked her down and brought her back here to tell Rafe everything."
Stefano:
"Great just great! I leave town for a few days and everything goes to hell."
EJ:
"I'm not going to let anyone get in my way of me being with my kids."
Stefano:
"You get the kids and I'll handle Anna."
Kate moves away from the door. EJ opens the door then leaves. He slams the door. Stefano lights a cigar as Kate walks back in. Stefano picks up his phone and dials a number. He takes the cigar out of his mouth.
Stefano:
"Yes you need to find Anna and shut her up."
Kate comes back.
Carrie:
"Well she's in the morgue now thanks to you and your bastard son. You two will pay for this."
Stefano:
"I will not pay for anything that I haven't even done."
Carrie:
"You will and I will make sure of it."
Kate walks up to Carrie and rubs her shoulders.
Kate:
"Carrie, you need to calm down. Why don't you go into the living and sit down and I'll have cook make you something to eat."
Carrie:
"No!"
Carrie yells and shakes Kate's hands off of her.
Carrie:
"That's how my mother died."
She looks down then looks into Stefano's eyes.
Carrie:
"Her food was poisoned and she died in her sleep."
Stefano:
"Well at least she did not suffer."
Carrie:
"You bastard"
Carrie lunges at Stefano. Kate tries to pull her off of him. Austin rushes in.
Austin:
"What's going on here?"
Kate and Carrie turn around.

"Austin."

"I will be representing Hope, so I would like a moment alone with my client."
Alex:
"Our client."
Justin:
"Yes our client."
Hope:
"Well you will have to represent Dr. Baker also. We're in this together."

Justin:
"Okay, we need a moment with our clients."
Bo:
"You guys can talk in my office."
Justin, Alex, Hope, and Baker go into Bo's office. Roman and Abe continue to look confused.
Roman:
"What the hell is going on here?"
Bo:
"Hope is the Salem Mugger."
Roman:
"What? No way."
Abe:
"Are you sure about this Bo?"
Bo:
"Yes it's true."
Roman:
"I don't believe it. Not for a second."
Abe:
"What about Baker? How does he play into all of this?"
Bo:
"He was her accomplice."
Roman:
"So that means he forced her to do it."
Bo:
"No it was the other way around. Hope was forcing him. And we have proof. That's why I called ahead to Justin and Alex to help Hope."
Abe:
"There's got to be more to this. Hope wouldn't just attack people for no reason."
Bo:
"Baker thinks it might be the sleeping pills Hope was taking."
Roman:
"You mean that he gave her?"
Bo:
"No they were prescribed by another doctor."
Roman:
"Then we need to bring him in."
DA Woods walks in with a blonde woman.
DA Woods:
"Bring who in? Is the Salem PD actually busting someone?"

"I want this bitch out of my house immediately."

"Stop it, all of you."

"Mom, please don't tell me you're on his side after what happened."
Kate looks at Austin.
Austin:
"You do. You're taking his side."
Kate:
"I didn't say that."
Austin:
"You don't have to, come on Carrie let's go."
Carrie stops hugging Austin long enough to give Kate and Stefano the evil eye before she and Austin leave the DiMera mansion. They walk out the door then slams it shut. Kate buries her head in her hands. Stefano straightens his tie.
Stefano:
"Katherine?"
Stefano starts. Kate looks up then turns around to face Stefano.
Kate:
"Yes Stefano."
Stefano:
"What are we going to do about this?"
Kate looks worriedly into Stefano's eyes.
STATESVILLE PRISON
Bonnie:
"Heck no I wouldn't have talked to that hunky FBI agent about Anna."
Mimi:
"I don't believe you."
Bonnie:
"Okay maybe I would have said something to get him off my case."
Mimi:
"Really mom? Do you want to die too? You are not to talk to that FBI guy ever again."
Bonnie:
"Mimi I don't even think I have a choice. I'm in prison. He's going to come back and you can't come in and save me every time."
Mimi:
"I know I can't. That's why I'm going to get you a lawyer or something."
Bonnie:
"You can't afford a lawyer"
Mimi:
"I know I can't especially without a job, but I'll think of something."
Bonnie:
"What? You lost your job?"
Mimi:
"Yeah I was fired because they needed to cut funds."
Bonnie:
"I'm so sorry Memes."
Mimi:
"You know what? It's fine. I'll just find another job."

"Oh come here baby."

"I'll be okay mom. You can stop hugging me now."
They stop hugging.
Bonnie:
"I know you will. You have someone so amazing in your corner. I'm so happy for you."

"Thank you and yeah he's amazing."
Mimi says smiling ear to ear. The guard comes in to tell Mimi she has to leave.
Guard:
"Times up."
Mimi:
"Of course."
Bonnie:
"How long are you staying for?"
Mimi:
"I'm not sure probably not long, but I'll find you a lawyer before I go."
Bonnie:
"Okay bye sweetie."
Mimi:
"Bye."
They wave bye as Mimi leaves the visiting room.
THE PUB
Derrick:
"I guess we'll never know then right since you don't take my word for anything."
Sarah starts to feel bad. She places her cup of coffee on the table.
Sarah:
"Look, I'm sorry Derrick, but you haven't given me a reason to believe you in the past 4 years."
Derrick:
"I know, you're right Sarah, I don't deserve the benefit of doubt. I'm sorry."
Sarah:
"I'm sorry too. We shouldn't be arguing anyways. I'm happy you're back in Salem and that you're healthy. You're healthy right?"
Derrick:
"Yes I'm doing quite well. How is Kinsey besides hating my guts?"
Sarah:
"She is doing well besides hating you guts."
Derrick and Sarah smile at one another. Carrie and Austin walk in. Carrie walks in before Austin with her head down trying to wipe away her tears and passes Derrick. Derrick sees her. He rushes over to her. Sarah turns around to see her
Derrick:
"Carrie, what happened?"
Carrie turns around. Austin walks in behind Derrick.
Austin:
"Carrie, why did you take off like that?"
Derrick turns around to see Austin walking up.
Carrie:
"I'm sorry. I just wanted to wash my face."
Austin:
"Okay you go do that. I can order you something to eat. How about some Clam Chowder?"
Carrie:
"That sounds great. I'll be back."
Carrie looks at Derrick.
Carrie:
"Oh Derrick, this is my husband Austin. Austin this is Derrick, the guy I was telling you about."
Carrie walks to the bathroom. Austin and Derrick look at one another.
Austin:
"Nice to meet you Derrick. Carrie told me that you were helping with Anna's case."
Derrick:
"Yes and I'm terribly sorry that she didn't make it."
Austin:
"Yeah me too. I hope that we can get to the bottom of who did this to Anna before things get even more out of hand."
Derrick:
"I'll be happy to help in any way that I can."
Austin:
"Thank you."
Austin walks to the counter. Derrick walks back over to Sarah and sits down.
Sarah:
"What was that all about?"
Derrick:
"It was about the case I'm working on. That woman's mother died and I need to find out who's behind it."

"My baby and you're not doing anything but trying to raise my blood pressure."
EJ:
"I'm giving you a place to stay and all the money your heart desires."
Nicole:
"What are you talking about? No you're not. I'm living in that dump and am poor."

EJ:

Nicole:
"Just get to the point EJ, what do you what?"
EJ gives Nicole a wicked smile.
BO'S OFFICE SALEM PD
Hope and Dr. Baker tell Justin and Alex everything. Justin doesn't believe it.
Justin:
"This all sounds so crazy."
Alex:
"That is some side effect, but if this is true then this is good for your case."
Hope:
"How is this good? I attacked innocent men. Most of which are good friends of mine. One was my son, but this is good."
Alex:
"Yes, those things are horrible Mrs. Brady, but the drug made you do it. So it's a really good chance that you'll be able to avoid jail time."
Hope:
"Maybe I deserve jail."
Alex:
"I'm confused."
Justin:
"Alex, can you give us a minute."
Alex:
"Sure."
Alex walks out of Bo's office.

"Impressive."
DA Woods:
"I'll say. They've done more in the last 2 minutes than they have the whole time I've been DA."

Everyone looks at one another.
DIMERA MANSION
Kate:
"Well you need to clear your name. Prove that you didn't have anything to do with Anna's death."
Stefano:
"What good would that do? They'll just think I made the whole thing up."
Stefano walks over to make himself a drink.
Kate:
"That's true. Carrie is very convinced."
Stefano:
"I can't blame her, but if she thinks that she can assault me in my own house she has another thought coming."
Kate:
"I'll have a talk with Carrie and Austin both."
Kate's phone rings. She looks at the id. It's Victor.
Kate:
"It's Victor."
Stefano:
"Take it."
Kate answers her phone. Stefano listens in.
Kate:
"What is it Victor? I'm in the middle of something. What? What happened to Philip? Oh my gosh please tell me you're lying. I'll be right there."
Kate hangs up the phone.
Stefano:
"What's wrong with Philip?"
Kate:
"Victor didn't say much, but apparently his marriage is in jeopardy."
UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL PARKING GARAGE:
EJ:
"What do I want? Well I want a lot of things, but first things first. I need you to find out what evidence Rafe has against me."
Nicole:
"And how am I supposed to do that? If I ask he'll get suspicious and it's not like he would tell me anyways."
EJ:
"You'll think of something."
Nicole:
"Wait, so I'm supposed to find out if there's any evidence against you? That's it?"
EJ:
"Oh and well destroy it or bring it to me. I don't care which way you do it just get it away from Rafe Hernandez."
Nicole:
"And what if I don't want to?"
EJ:
"What if you…you owe me Nicole. You said you weren't going to tell Sami about me kidnapping Sydney."
Nicole:
"I didn't, you did"
EJ:
"Just do it and you can have anything you want. You love money, I'll give you money."
Nicole:
"Help me get Brady back."
EJ:
"What? No I'm not going to do that."
Nicole:
"Then I won't help you."
EJ:
"Why would Brady even want you back? You slept with me and that baby is mine."
Nicole:
"You don't know that. This baby has a great chance of being Brady's. In fact, I'm sure of it."
EJ huffs and sighs.
EJ:
"Fine, I'll help you get Brady back. I do have a little piece of information that could help you start."
Nicole:
"What is it?"
EJ:
"I'll tell you after you get me what I want."
Nicole:
"Come on."
EJ:
"No because if I'll tell you, you'll go straight to Brady and forget about helping me."
Nicole:
"Fine, I'll get the evidence."
EJ:
"Good. Nice doing business with you Nicole."
EJ gets out of Nicole's car.
Nicole:
"EJ's desperate enough to trust me. How can I use this to my advantage and still get the information on Brady?"
