Chapter 9
KIRIAKIS MANSION
VICTOR: What in the name of Gatsby is this?!
HENDERSON: Ah, Mr. Kiriakis, the cook was experimenting with a different way to cook pasta. It didn't quite work out the way he planned, and it sort of got burned.
VICTOR: I'll have words with that cook. Henderson, get the maid. Tell her to clear the kitchen of this awful stench.
HENDERSON: Yes, sir.
CHEZ ROUGE
MELANIE: I'm really sorry that I burned the lasagna and ruined our dinner together.
BRADY: Mel, you didn't ruin our dinner. Besides, we're having a nice dinner now, aren't we?
MELANIE: Yeah, but that's not the point. I wanted to cook something for you.
BRADY: I know. And you'll get plenty of other chances to.
MELANIE: Yeah, I suppose.
LUCAS' APARTMENT
Will and Mia arrived. Kate had left by there, but Lucas was not alone...
WILL: Mom, what are you doing here?
SAMI: Well, that's part of what your father wanted to talk to you about.
LUCAS: Yeah. Well, Sami, do you want to tell him or should I?
WILL: One of you, just please tell me.
LUCAS: Your mother and I are going to give it another go. We're gonna try to make things work right this time between us.
WILL: Wait, so, you guys are getting back together?!
SAMI: That's right, Will.
WILL: This is awesome!
LUCAS: Well, we kinda figured you'd be pleased.
Lucas and Sami kissed, as did Will and Mia.
TONY & ANNA'S HOUSE
ANNA: Tony, what plan are you talking about?
ANDRE: Exactly. That's what I said to him. When Stefano started going on about the plan, I was like "What plan? What the blazes are you talking about?" If you ask me, Anna, I think my dear father is going a bit senile.
ANNA: Okay, now how about the truth?
ANDRE: Truth? What truth?
ANNA: I have no doubt that that was Stefano on the phone, but why did he really call you?
ANDRE: Anna, I just explained to you why he called me!
ANNA: No. Now I saw Stefano earlier today while we were both at the Mansion and he was perfectly fine then. He is anything but senile. The Tony I know would never make up such a lame excuse as that.
ANDRE: The Tony you know?! Anna, I am the Tony you know!
ANNA: Really? Because I don't think you are.
ANDRE: All right, then! If I'm not Tony, then who am I?!
ANNA: Oh I think we both know exactly who you are...André.
ANDRE: How long have you known?
ANNA: A while now. You came out of that coma way too quick. Besides, I always have been able to tell the differnce between you and the real Tony. You might have everybody else fooled, but not me.
ANDRE: Well, now, you are a smart little girl, aren't you?
ANNA: So, where do we go from here, then?
ANDRE: Oh, Anna.
He pulls out a gun from the inner pocket of his coat.
ANDRE: Anna I really didn't want to do this.
He turns to face Anna.
ANDRE: But, I'm sorry...you leave me no choice.
He lifts the gun and pulls the trigger. Two shots ring out. One shot made Anna fall to the ground. But, it wasn't the shot that Andre fired. André stood there, a look of shock on his face.
ANDRE: What are you doing here?!
NARRATOR: Little did he know...that that one simple act would lead to the ultimate rise of the DiMera family. Little did he know that his act of murder would lead to the final days of Salem as we know it...
