Its evening time in Salem as Chloe awakes to find Phillip is not lying next to her. She gets up and puts some clothes on before walking downstairs to look for him.
Chloe
"Phillip? Phillip?"
She calls, but no answer. She gets to the bottom of the stairs. She looks around then walks into the living room. She's surprised to see a table for two set up. She smiles as she looks away to the terrace where Phillip leans in the doorway with a drink in his right hand.
Phillip
"You're awake."
Chloe
"Yes I am."
Phillip walks towards her.
Chloe
"What's all this?"
Phillip
"I thought you would want to eat something after the afternoon we had."
Phillip smiles showing off his dimples.
Chloe
"It was quick the afternoon."
Phillip
"It was the best afternoon that I could remember."
Chloe
"I have to agree."
Phillip pulls out Chloe's chair for her.
Chloe
"Thank you."
Phillip gives her a quick kiss before she sits down. Phillip sits across from her.
Chloe
"You know, you can't keep doing these kinds of things for me. I might get used to it."
Phillip
"Well get used to it baby."
They laugh.
Phillip
"I want to do this for you every day or every other day for as long as you'll have me."
Chloe smiles. They're interrupted by the doorbell. Henderson walks in.
Henderson
"I'll get it, don't you two move."
Phillip
"Thanks Henderson."
Phillip and Chloe begin to eat as Henderson answers the door. He opens the door and strange man standing here holding two envelopes.
Henderson
"Can I help you?"
Strange Man
"Yes. I have a delivery for a Phillip Kiriakis and a Chloe Lane."
He says pronouncing Kiriakis wrong. He hands the envelopes to Henderson.
Henderson
"I'll make sure they get them."
Strange Man
"Make sure they open them immediately. It's very urgent."
Henderson
"Will do sir."
Strange Man
"Thank you, sir."
He says before walking away. Henderson seems confused as he closes the door. He walks into the living room to give Phillip and Chloe their envelopes.
Henderson
"Excuse master Phillip, Miss Lane."
Phillip and Chloe look up at him.
Phillip
"Yes Henderson"
Henderson
"I'm so sorry for interrupting, but a man brought by these envelopes for you two and said it was very important that you two open these right away."
Phillip and Chloe seem confused, but take the envelopes from Henderson.
Phillip
"Ok."
Henderson
"I will leave you two alone. Just let me know if you need anything else."
Phillip
"Thank you Henderson."
Phillip and Chloe open their envelopes. They each pull out of a piece of paper.
Chloe
"You're invited to room 218 at University Hospital."
Phillip
"Mine says that as well."
Chloe
"What's in room 218?"
Phillip
"I have no clue."
Chloe
"Should we go?"
Phillip
"Well someone went out their way to invite us so I guess we should maybe."
Chloe
"Well I'm curious to know what this is about."
Phillip
"Maybe it has something to do with our attacks?"
Chloe
"Maybe so. I want to see what the big deal is."
Phillip
"Well let's go."
Chloe and Phillip get up and head out. At University Hospital, Belle is organizing files at the nurse's station when Shawn walks off the elevator and over to her with an envelope in his hand.
Shawn
"Hey Belle."
She looks over at him and smiles.
Belle
"Hey"
Shawn
"I got this message to go to room 218."
Shawn holds up the envelope.
Shawn
"Do you know anything about this?"
Belle seems confused.
Belle
"No I don't."
Shawn
"Come on Belle, give it up."
Belle
"I really don't know Shawn."
Shawn
"Ok I'm confused."
Belle pauses.
Belle
"Wait, there's a patient in that room. I remember Mimi was there."
Shawn
"Who was it?"
Belle
"Oh my gosh."
Shawn
"What?"
Belle
"It's Jan's room."
Shawn seems confused. Mimi arrives at the Kiriakis mansion. She rings the doorbell. Henderson answers.
Henderson
"Well hello Miss Mimi."
Mimi
"Hey Henderson, is Phillip around?"
Henderson
"No I'm sorry. Master Phillip and Miss Chloe just left."
Mimi
"Do you know where they went?"
Henderson
"Not sure, but I'm sure it had something to do with the messages they received."
Mimi
"What messages?"
Henderson
"Some strange man brought them messages and said it was urgent that they read them."
Mimi
"Are they still here?"
Henderson
"Um…maybe so, they were in the living room if you would like to check."
Mimi
"Yes please."
Henderson moves out of the way to allow Mimi to come inside. She walks in the living room and found one of the notes and reads it.
Mimi
"Oh my gosh. No!"
Mimi drops the note and rushes out.
Henderson
"Um…ok…um nice to see you."
Back at University Hospital, Shawn and Belle talk about Jan.
Shawn
"Jan? Jan Spears?"
Belle
"Yes, she's still in her coma."
Shawn
"Ok, then why would I get a message to go to her room?"
Belle
"I don't know, but we should find out."
Phillip and Chloe walk off the elevator and see Shawn and Belle. They walk over to say hi.
Phillip
"Hey guys."
Shawn and Belle look over at them.
Belle
"Hey, is everything alright? The baby's fine?"
Chloe
"The baby is just fine."
Chloe says as she rubs her belly.
Belle
"So what brings you guys here?"
Phillip
"We got a message to go to room 218."
Shawn
"So did I."
Phillip
"What's it all about?"
Shawn
"I don't know, but that's Jan's room."
Phillip
"Jan Spears?"
Shawn
"Yep. The one and only."
Chloe
"Wasn't she in a coma?"
Belle
"She still is and there hasn't been a sign of any improvement either."
Phillip
"That's weird."
Shawn
"Yeah, let's find out what this is all about."
Phillip
"Let's go."
Shawn, Phillip, and Chloe head to Jan's room. Belle decides to tag along.
Belle
"I want to know too."
Dr. Walters watches as they walk towards Jan's room. Dr. Baker walks up behind him.
Baker
"I see they're following the bait."
Walters turns around
Walters
"Just like Jan wants them to do."
Baker
"So I'm guessing they don't know that Jan's not really in a coma anymore."
Walters
"Maybe you're not so dumb after all. Here, now take these files and look over them."
Walters smiles as he walks away. Baker rolls his eyes and grabs the files then walks away. Rex walks up to the desk as Mimi comes off the elevator. She sees him then rushes over.
Mimi
"Rex!"
Rex turns to her.
Rex
"What's wrong? Did you talk to Phillip?"
Mimi
"No, he wasn't home. He and Chloe got a note to go to Jan's room."
Rex
"What? Why? Jan's in a coma."
Mimi
"No she's not. She's awake. I just know it."
Belle, Shawn, Phillip, and Chloe enter Jan's room. Jan's resting.
Belle
"See, she's in a coma."
Phillip
"Well why would we get these messages to come to her room?"
Chloe
"This is just weird."
Suddenly Jan sits up.
Jan
"It's not weird at all."
Belle, Shawn, Phillip, and Chloe are startled.
Belle
"What the hell? You were in a coma."
Jan
"Yes Izzy, key word was. Now I'm awake."
Jan shows an evil grin.
Jan
"Hey Phillip, Chloe, and hi Shawn"
Jan waves to Shawn.
Jan
"You look just as good as I remember, maybe even better."
Belle
"Oh were you remembering when you locked him up in a cage?"
Jan
"Oh Belle, you're always bringing up the past."
Jan looks over at Chloe.
Jan
"Ghoul Girl, you look like you put on a few extra pounds."
Phillip
"Her name is Chloe and she's pregnant."
Jan
"Who would want to know her up?"
Phillip
"Me."
Jan
"Oh, you two are trying again. Aww, that's so cute."
Shawn
"Enough of all of this, why the hell did you ask us here?"
Rex and Mimi walk in. Everyone look over at them.
Jan
"Well I don't remember asking you two to come here, but this is perfect."
Mimi
"I knew you were awake."
Jan
"Just in time to tell Phillip that you have been keeping your son a secret."
Phillip
"Son?"
Jan
"Oh Phillip, don't tell me you forgot about your lab baby with Mimi. What's his name again? Taylor?"
Mimi
"Tyler"
Jan
"Ah yes, Tyler. Tyler Kiriakis. Eh, you could have named him something better. It doesn't quite roll off the tongue."
Mimi
"You bitch."
Jan
"Oh"
Phillip
"You have Tyler?"
Mimi pauses.
Jan
"Yes she does."
Phillip
"I wasn't talking to you."
Mimi
"Yes I do."
Mimi shouts.
Mimi
"He's with a sitter."
Phillip
"And I'm just finding out about this now? You've been in town for a few weeks now."
Jan
"I know isn't it a shame? After all these years, Mimi still keeps secrets."
Mimi
"And you're still a bitch."
Jan
"I'll take that as a compliment Memes."
Chloe
"I can't take this."
Phillip
"Chloe, Chloe!"
Phillip yells, but Chloe still leaves. Phillip looks at Mimi.
Phillip
"We'll talk about this later."
Mimi sighs as Phillip leaves the room.
Belle
"Of course you couldn't wait to stick it to Mimi could you?"
Jan
"Oh so this is my fault?"
Shawn
"Yeah it's your fault."
Jan
"Ah, Shawn."
Belle
"You just never can change. Even being in a coma didn't wake you up to think maybe I should be a better person."
Jan
"Well I did wake up and I decided that Phillip deserved to know the truth. And you Belle, well you're still the same judgmental brat you've always been."
Belle
"Why I oughta…"
Belle starts to move towards Jan, but Shawn holds her back.
Jan
"Oh Belle, it seems you've grown a back bone. I'm impressed."
Belle
"You know what? I'm done with this. Goodbye."
Belle walks out.
Jan
"Well nobody invited you anyways."
Shawn
"I'm with Belle."
Jan
"No Shawn, don't leave."
Shawn walks out.
Mimi
"Rex, can you give us a moment?"
Rex
"Are you sure?"
Mimi looks over at Jan who smiles back then she looks back at Rex.
Mimi
"Oh yeah."
Rex
"Well I'll be outside if you need me."
Rex walks out. Mimi closes the door then turns her attention to Jan.
Mimi
"You just had to beat me to it."
Jan
"You heard Phillip. You've been in town for weeks you could have told him at any time yet you kept it a secret. Why Mimi? Why?"
Mimi
"It's none of your business."
Jan
"Oh but it is. Anything that has to do with you is my business. Memes, don't you know that I'm going to make you pay for putting me in a coma."
Mimi
"I didn't put you in a coma you idiot. You tripped and knocked yourself out. I was nowhere near you."
Jan
"That's your story, but that's not what I remember."
Mimi
"I don't care how you remember it. The truth came out a long time ago while you were sleeping. Now if only you would go back to sleep."
Jan
"Oh no. You're not going to get rid of me that fast."
Mimi
"If only."
Jan
"I'm just getting started Memes. First Phillip and possibly Chloe, but soon I'll have Belle, Shawn, and even Sexy Rexy again hating you. I'll make you wish you were never born."
Mimi
"Bring it bitch."
Jan
"I always do."
Mimi huffs as Jan's smile grows. Phillip follows Chloe to the waiting room.
Phillip
"Chloe"
Chloe
"What?"
Phillip
"Can you look at me please?"
She turns around and Phillip notices she's been crying.
Phillip
"Why are you crying?"
Chloe
"Tyler"
Phillip
"What about him?"
Chloe
"You dumped him on another family. How am I supposed to believe you would want to take care of this child?"
Chloe rubs her belly. Phillip touches her belly.
Phillip
"Because I want to be a father to this baby. Tyler, he wasn't planned."
Chloe
"This baby wasn't planned. It was just a drunken night of sex."
Phillip
"I know, but this child was meant to be. It's the reason why we've been able to come together. Tyler, I let him go because I wasn't in a good place at the time. I lost Belle and Claire and I didn't know what to do with myself. Tyler had two loving people who took really great care of him and loved him. I knew that's not something that I could do for him. Mimi either. So that's why I let him go. Then somehow Mimi got him."
Chloe
"So what are you going to do now?"
Phillip
"I would like to get to know my son."
Chloe
"Good, I want you to."
Phillip
"I don't want what happened to Tyler come between us because I want to be a father to this baby. Not just that, but I want to raise this baby…our daughter with you."
Chloe
"I want that too."
Phillip
"I love you."
Phillip says as he wipes the tears from Chloe's eyes.
Chloe
"I love you too."
They kiss then hug. Belle walks up to the nurse's station as Daniel's reviewing a patient's file. She looks at him then rolls her eyes and huffs. Daniel looks at her in confusion.
Daniel
"I'm sorry, did I do something wrong?"
Belle
"Oh like you don't know."
Daniel
"Are you still mad about it earlier?"
Belle
"Oh come on. Like you don't know that Jan set up Mimi, Phillip, Chloe, and Shawn. I mean you're her doctor after all."
Daniel
"What? Jan's in a coma. And yes I'm her doctor. If she woke up I think I would know that."
Belle
"Well you must be a really crappy doctor because Jan Spears is wide awake and as bitchy as ever."
Daniel
"I don't believe you."
Belle
"Well you should go to her room and see for yourself."
Daniel
"I will."
Belle
"Good, bye."
Daniel picks up his chart and heads to Jan's room as Shawn walks up.
Belle
"Can you believe him? He's denying that he helped Jan set you guys up."
Shawn
"Maybe he didn't know?"
Belle
"How could he not know? He's her doctor and someone had to send you guys those notes."
Shawn
"Yeah and I'm going to figure out exactly he did."
Baker eavesdrops on Belle and Shawn. He walks away and bumps into Dr. Walters.
Walters
"Watch yourself Baker."
Baker
"Shaw Brady is going to dig into who helped Jan."
Walters
"And you better hope you covered your tracks."
Baker
"Yeah I did."
Walters
"Good, then you have nothing to worry about."
Walters smiles. Mimi walks out of Jan's room. Rex walks up to her and hugs her.
Rex
"I'm sorry this came out this way."
Mimi
"It's my fault. I should have told Phillip when I first came to town."
Phillip and Chloe walk up.
Phillip
"Yeah you should have."
Rex and Mimi stop hugging and look over at them.
Mimi
"I'm sorry Phillip and I'm sorry Chloe."
Chloe
"Well it's out now."
Mimi
"Yeah."
Phillip
"I would like to see Tyler and I would like to be a part of his life."
Mimi
"Yeah I would like for you to be in his life."
Phillip
"It's pretty late now, but I would like to see him tomorrow if possible."
Mimi
"Of course."
Phillip
"I'll call you tomorrow then."
Mimi
"Ok."
Phillip and Chloe start to walk away but stop when Daniel walks up.
Chloe
"Daniel."
Daniel
"Chloe"
Phillip
"What do you want?"
Daniel
"I'm here to check on my patient. I heard that she was awake."
Mimi
"Oh yeah wide awake and being a bitch."
Mimi walks away. Rex follows her. Daniel looks at Chloe.
Daniel
"Have you been crying?"
Phillip
"Let's go home Chloe."
Chloe
"Yeah, let's."
Phillip takes Chloe's hand and they walk away. Daniel watches Chloe leave then walks into Jan's room and is shocked to see Jan up and walking around.
Daniel
"So the rumors are true."
Jan
"Yeah I'm awake. And you're as hot as I expected."
Daniel
"Thank you. I think."
Jan
"So are you here to nurse me back to health?"
Daniel
"I'm going to call your aunt and cousin. I'm sure they would be very happy to see you awake."
Jan
"Oh don't rush to do that. I'm sure we could have a little fun first."
Daniel
"I have patients to take care of."
Jan
"But aren't I one of your patients?"
Daniel
"I'll be back."
Jan
"Bye doctor"
Jan waves as Daniel walks out and closes the door. He leans against the door and sighs.
Daniel
"What just happened here?"
Carly walks up.
Carly
"Talking to yourself again?"
Daniel
"Carly."
Carly
"Is everything ok?"
Daniel
"Yeah, I just found out my coma patient is wide awake."
Carly
"That's good, isn't it?"
Daniel
"I guess so. I better call her family."
Carly
"Yeah I'm sure they would like to know about her waking up."
Daniel
"Yeah. Family."
Daniel looks down.
Carly
"Is everything else ok?"
Daniel
"No. I got into an argument with Melanie earlier."
Carly
"What about?"
Daniel
"Phillip. It was stupid."
Carly
"I'm sure you two can make up."
Daniel
"Yeah. Maybe I should call her."
Carly
"Oh you can't."
Daniel
"Why not?"
Carly
"She and Nathan are having a romantic evening together."
Daniel
"Ah, well I don't want to spoil that. I'll call her in the morning."
Carly
"Or maybe in the afternoon."
Daniel
"Oh yeah."
Carly
"Well I'm going to head home. Night."
Daniel
"Night."
