He tells her he hates that they're arguing. She says he knows how to fix it. He tells her in this case he's right, she's the one who will have back down. Chloe comes up to the door and sees Victor so she steps out of sight, listening to their conversation. Victor tries to convince Maggie that Chloe can't be trusted, she's already come between them. He asks Maggie to please send Chloe away so they can go back to what they had. Maggie tells him Chloe can stay for however long she likes. He reminds her that Chloe made Lucas nearly drink himself to death. Maggie says Chloe is not to blame, Lucas chose to drink, and yes, Chloe betrayed him but he forgave her. She says Chloe is a human being and needs help. He says Chloe just needs a place to regroup until she decides who she'll ruin next. Maggi says that's unfair, just like him this a black and white issure between them. He asks if Chloe is staying forever. Maggie says no, just until she can make it on her own. Victor says then she'll never leave. Maggie clenches her jaw and taps her foot. She tells Victor if he can't accept that Chloe is staying there then they can't be friends. Chloe slips away. Victor says he doesn't like ultimatums. Maggie cuts him off, saying she doesn't either. Maggie says Chloe has made bad decisions and hurt a lot of people, people they both love, but she's hurt herself too. Victor asks why she cares about Chloe. She tells him about when she was drinking, she would have destroyed everything if Alice hadn't helped her, Crying, Maggie says Alice held her together until she could make it on her own, so she can't not help Chloe, she can't, and she won't. He wishes he could let go and see it like Maggie does but he can't, and he won't. Maggie asks if he could at least try. He says the anger is justified and keeps him sane, he'll never forget the pain Chloe has caused his family and he'll never forget, never forgive. Maggie's voice shakes as she says she can't be with a man who can't have a little compassion in his heart for someone whose life is broken. Victor suppresses a pained look and says he is sorry too. Maggie looks broken. She nods and goes to the door, opens it and waits for Victor. Reluctantly, Victor walks to the door, hesitates slightly as he passes her. Maggie looks down and he walks out and stopping outside the door until Maggie closes it, then he walks away. Maggie leans against the door and tries not to cry.
2011-05-11 Maggie, VictorMaggie is baking cookies and she remembers kissing Victor after saying they are a couple. Meanwhile, Victor is at home having the same memory. He vows to find a way to make things right. He goes into the living room where Henderson is cleaning while watching a soap opera, a scene with a man and woman arguing and the man asks why they can't meet halfway. Henderson apologizes and says he'll turn it off. Victor tells him to leave it on, the very bad actor makes a very good point. Maggie is still watching the show and wonders why can't she and Victor meet halfway. She scoffs and says because Victor always has to be right or he wants to boss her around, and that's not gonna happen. The woman says he's right, she's being silly. Maggie relates and says no she's not. Victor says yes she is being silly. The woman says she'd love to meet halfway but... The man says she can't, or won't. He tells her he'll give her the reason of a lifetime why she must. Victor grimaces.
Later, Chloe comes home and tells Maggie that she's moving out. Maggie says that's not good news and blames Victor. Chloe says it's part of it, she hates that she is causing problems for her and Victor, but she needs to do this. Maggie says it's too soon, and the problems she and Victor are having are not just about Chloe. Chloe says she has to move on and hopes Maggie can understand. Maggie says she does. Chloe, crying, tells Maggie sometimes she's been more like family than her own and she's grateful. She tells Maggie she's really happy that Maggie found Victor, no one should be alone, but he doesn't begin to deserve her. She goes to pack. Maggie sighs and shakes her head.
Meanwhile, Victor has gone for a walk by the river. Brady comes along, figures correctly that he's there because of Maggie, and asks what did he do this time. Victor says, "Something idiotic." Brady guesses correctly that Victor gave Maggie an ultimatum about Chloe, he tells him that Chloe is moving out. Victor thinks Brady is paying her way but Brady says she refused his offer. Brady gets a call and steps away. Victor figures Chloe would never move out without help. He's sure that Maggie is pushing her out and he thinks he knows why.
Victor goes to Maggie's. He hopes it's not too late for a visit. She says no and invites him in. He suppresses his delight and Maggie asks what is so amusing. He says nothing, it's quite serious. He pretends to beg forgiveness, that he was wrong, but he lays it on too thick, finishing by saying now they can be together again. Maggie sees right through him. He asks why she's not saying anything. With a knowing smile, she says she's waiting for the punchline. Victor continues his charade until Maggie asks if Brady told him that Chloe moved out. He groans that he's busted. Maggie says she doesn't like being played, especially by him. He says he should have remembered she's too smart for that. She says he should have. He says their problem is solved, she kicked Chloe out, she finally saw the light. Maggie says she certainly did. He looks worried. He says they should celebrate by going out to a late supper, he suggests Paris. She says he's in a good mood. He says they can talk about their future. She tells him before he starts warming up the jet, she'd like to clear up a little misunderstanding. He braces and asks what. She says she did not throw Chloe out, Chloe left voluntarily. Victor says if Chloe hadn't made that decision then she'd still be living there. Maggie nods. He says Brady implied that but he assumed...Maggie finishes, that she'd seen the light, the light being his way. Victor says she's about to tell him he was wrong. He braces for it. Maggie doesn't blame him, she was hoping that he'd changed for her too. She guesses they both need to accept that that's never going to happen. He says if she can't change and he can't change, what does it mean for them. She says there are some things about him that she wouldn't change for the world. Hopeful, he tells her to go with that for a while. He smiles. She loves how he loves his family, he's not gushy or sentimental, he drives them crazy, they know he would walk into a burning building for them. She likes that a lot. She also likes that he endowed a new children's wing at the hospital, anonymously. He says it can't be too anonymous if she knows. She says she has spies everywhere. She likes that when they were getting to know each other better, he brought fun into her life, she needed that. He says yes she did. She says knowing all of that makes it more painful to see the way he turns hard and cold when dealing with someone he decided is his enemy, like poor, messed-up Chloe. Victor bristles. Maggie says there it is. She sighs deeply and says it's too hard to be with him, she's sorry.
2011-05-12 Maggie, VictorMaggie tells Victor he made her feel appreciated. He says he used the word "treasured." She smiles and says that too. He tells her she's loved too. She tries to hold her smile, she nods her head. He asks if a cold man could make her feel all that. She says no. He asks what's the problem. She says he threatened that she wouldn't see him anymore when she told him Chloe was moving in. He says he just wanted to win, it didn't mean anything. She says it did to her, that unless she lived her life the way he wanted her to he would play dirty, she won't live her life the way he says to, and she won't laugh when he turns hard and cold at her just so he can win. She tells him they just weren't meant to be. He says he's sorry if that's true. He goes to the door, hesitates, then leaves. Heartbroken, Maggie says, "So am I. Oh! So am I."
Later, Maggie calls Melissa to say she misses her and that talking to her makes her feel better. She struggles to not cry as she looks at the door.
At the mansion, Victor is bellowing into the phone. When he hangs up, Brady reminds him Titan doesn't belong to him. Victor says they forgave each other, talked about family, they hugged! Brady says that didn't change things. Victor calls him a snake-in-the-grass. Brady agrees and asks who does that remind him off. He leaves. Victor says he's right.
The next day, Victor goes to Maggie's to talk about the "Chloe situation." He tells her he's punishing Chloe for his own suffering over Philip leaving town and he did the same thing to Maggie. He doesn't want that. She asks him what does he want. His voice breaks as he tells her he wants them to be together. He knows for that to happen he needs to change and be worthy of her. Maggie wants to believe he means it. He tells her she is a gift to him. He thinks of her the first thing every day, he wants to see her, see her smile, her beautiful, heartwarming smile. He'd be a fool to give that up. Maggie stands up and looks around. Victor stands and, crying, she hugs him. He holds her tight and sighs.
Later, Maggie gets a call from work and Victor waits. When she hangs up, he says he should go. Maggie is confused. He struggles to explain that he wants so much to be the man that she deserves, and she's the most important thing that's ever happened to him. He pauses and she tells him to continue. He says talk is cheap. Maggie doesn't understand. He says he was sincere in what he said before, and maybe overly confident. Maggie braces and asks, "In what way?" He says their relationship is too important to him not to be totally honest, but his desire to change is not the same as his abilitiy to change. Maggie fights tears and asks if he's afraid that he won't be able to change. He says yes, exactly. Trying not to cry, she asks when they'll see each other again. Victor says it's a small town, they'll run into each other. Maggie says sure. He tells her he's sorrier than she'll ever know. He leaves. Maggie walks over to the table by the door, sits and breaks down crying.
2011-05-18 Maggie, VictorAt Maggie's, Hope and Ciara are helping Maggie pack up Mickey's clothes for donation. Maggie asks Ciara to go upstairs and get two bags. She tells Hope how she got through the past year, through the grief that was always there, making herself try to move on, and she thought she had, but... Hope asks if she means finding love again. Maggie says she's realized that will never happen, Mickey was the love of her life, loving someone else would be disloyal to him, so she's going to focus on what she still has, great friends and beautiful memories, that's all she needs. Hope tells her love can come around again. Maggie says not for her. Hope says she can't give up. Maggie says if she's talking about Victor, she's not the one that did! Stunned, Hope asks, "What? Victor?" Maggie sighs. Hope clarifies, asking, "Kiriakis?" Maggie nods yes. Maggie thought Hope knew about her and Victor. Hope asks if it was serious. Maggie says she thought it was, or at least might be at some point, but no, it was mostly her giving him a hard time, teasing him mercilessly about his curmudgeonliness. Hope laughs. Maggie says it was that other Victor, the one behind the iron mask. Hope says she's seen that other Victor. Maggie tells her
that Victor started showing up a couple of months ago, first to help with the Foundation in Mickey's honor, then just to talk, a cup of coffee, tell a couple of jokes. She says it was comforting and she thought something might be possible, but it's over. Hope asks why, does she think Victor has given up on her? Maggie says he told her flat out, her standards of conduct are just too high. Hope chuckles. Maggie says they argued about that and that was the end. Ciara comes back and asks Maggie if she'll go with them to Grandpa Victor's. Maggie says she can't but be sure to give him a big hug. Hope tells Maggie maybe some other time. Maggie says she'll see.
Meanwhile at the hospital, Victor asks Melanie if she and Maggie are back to normal now that Chloe moved out. Melanie didn't know and guesses Maggie figured it wasn't important enough to tell her. Victor awkwardly says now she knows. Later, Brady says he has a proposition for him. Victor says he's all out of corporations for him to steal. Brady says some of the old-timers miss hearing Victor's voice on the conference calls. Victor chuckles. Brady says he decided to return a sizable chunk of Titan stock back to him if he will give him a big piece of important information. Victor says he'll listen but that's a long way from saying yes. Brady says it's about the drug operation that Victor owned that Arianna had been investigating, he wants to know who he sold it to. Victor asks why would he tell him that. Brady asks if he wants to be part of Titan again or not. Victor asks if this is about avenging Arianna. Brady says he just needs his answer, he will keep Victor's name out of it. Victor asks if in return he'll get back controlling interest of Titan. Brady says no, just a sizable chunk. Victor asks for his word. Brady gives it. Victor says it was EJ DiMera.
Later, Melanie comes over and asks Maggie when she was planning to tell her that Chloe moved out. Melanie says she hasn't come by because she didn't want to run into Chloe, but Chloe moved out and obviously Maggie is still mad at her or she'd have told her. Maggie says she was never mad, she hadn't told her because it only just happened. Melanie thought she was disappointed in her for not forgiving Chloe. Maggie hugs her and cries as she tells her she loves her. Melanie says she's missed seeing her and she's glad Victor encouraged her to come over. Maggie smiles.
When Victor gets home he's greeted by Ciara. He has a gift for her, a doll, and he says he wants to know when she thinks of a name for her. Ciara says she'll name her Maggie. Hope explains they just came from seeing her and she didn't seem like her usual, chipper self. Victor says that's too bad. She was hoping Maggie would come there with them but it was obvious she didn't want to. Victor is sure it was.
2011-05-19 Maggie, VictorMaggie asks Melanie if Victor sent her over there. Melanie says he did, he said she's always right, and he knows how much Maggie misses her, and he said that she needed to come over here and do what needed to be done. Maggie wonders why he even cares. Melanie says because he loves her. Maggie says it's not true. Melanie asks how she knows that. Maggie says because he told her. Melanie asks if he was like, she imitates Victor, "Maggie, just so you know, I don't love you." Maggie explains the last conversation she had with him and that it means now he's out of her life...for good. She is grateful to him for understanding how important Melanie is to her. Melanie says only somebody who's head over heels in love would be able to know Maggie that well. Maggie laughs. Melanie says he loves her. Melanie remembers she has to meet a friend, but she'll cancel. Maggie says go, she's fine, she lifted her spirits. Melanie says Victor went to bat for her, now she needs to step up to the plate and admit she loves him back.
At home, Victor is on the phone about Titan business. Justin comes in and asks if Brady knows he's giving orders. Victor doesn't care. He tells him he has control of various branches of Titan. Justin is glad but wonders why. Victor fills him in. Justin is glad that he and Brady are getting along again. He wonders why Victor looks downright forlorn. Victor says there are other things in life...companionship, love, and without that, there's nothing.
Later, Maggie comes over to thank Victor for sending Melanie over. Victor is glad it worked out. She asks if this is a bad time. He stammers as he tells her he's due at the office. She asks, "Office?" He tells her about Brady giving back a piece of Titan. Maggie says it's great. He hesitantly says he wishes he had time to talk. She says he doesn't want to. He tries to deny it but she knows he's afraid of getting close and disappointing her, he'd rather walk away than face potential failure. He says she's very astute. She says he's fallible like everyone else, she doesn't expect nor want him to be someone that he's not because she knows that underneath that callous, curmudgeonly, antisocial guy, there's a heart of gold... a very good man, that's who she sees, that's who she adores. Maggie starts to leave. He says he's sorry. She asks for what? He says he was arrogant thinking that he deserved a woman like her, he could never be the man she wants him to be. Maggie says she's the one who should be sorry, she's the arrogant one...insisting that he change, believing that she could change him. She says he's a lovely person just the way he is...smart, funny, caring, and very deserving of love and admiration, but maybe the person who needs to understand that most of all is him. She smiles, goes to him and kisses him lightly. She leaves.
2011-05-26 VictorVictor calls Daniel and asks him to come see him. He thinks his ulcer is acting up. Daniel is having dinner with Jennifer so he brings her with. After Daniel clears Victor, Victor asks if they are dating. He tells Daniel he finally got it right. Daniel has to take a call. Victor tells Jennifer he's glad for them. Jennifer noticed a scrapbook and he shows her some old pictures of Daniel.
2011-05-27 Maggie, VictorChloe comes by Maggie's to give her an update. She tells Maggie she's met a great guy. Maggie is worried it might be too soon. Then she points out that she's making a Greek casserole. She says, "When a woman makes a casserole that she can't stand to please a man she's utterly confused about, she is in no position to give advice on men or romance." Chloe says she thought she likes Victor. Maggie says not when he's being horrible to Chloe. Chloe says he's horrible to most everyone except Maggie. Jennifer comes over, sees Chloe and apologizes if she interrupted. Chloe gets a phone call and says she has to go. She leaves. Jennifer remarks how beautiful Chloe is. Maggie agrees and worries that's the root of her problems. Jennifer tells Maggie that she and Daniel went over to see Victor last night and he was miserable, it was kind of sad to see. Maggie tries to interrupt. Jennifer continues, saying Victor was pining away, she was actually feeling sorry for Victor Kiriakis. Maggie tells her to stop. She says she's already making a kasseri casserole for him. Jennifer says Maggie hates kasseri. Maggie says Victor loves it. Jennifer laughs. Maggie says he makes her so stupid!
Later, Maggie goes to Victor's to deliver the casserole she made for him but warns him he better not gloat or she'll drop it on his foot. He says he does not gloat. She hands it to him and he says it seems like enough for two but she says it's all for him, she hates it. He asks that she made it just for him. She turns away in a huff and he says he's not gloating, it's admiration. He'd been trying to think of a reason to come see her. She's amazed that an imaginative guy like him couldn't come up with something. He says he was out the door more than once but realized it wouldn't be fair to her. She asks if he forgot she said she's the one who's being unfair. He says she was just being nice. Maggie gets upset that now he doubts her sincerity. He says no, what he doubts is his ability to live up to what she thinks she sees in him. She says they're back to him thinking he doesn't deserve her. He says he know he doesn't, and it's best to make a clean break, it's less painful, he tells her goodbye and turns away. She stammers then tells him she has something to say, and that casserole earns her at least five minutes of his precious time. He says, "Damn it, Maggie, don't make this hard. I'm trying to do the right thing here." She says, "Well, you never have before, so why start now? And don't swear at me." He apologizes. She says this is dumb. He says it's not. She says it is. He says she could end up getting hurt, and then it would be his fault, and then he'd feel guilty, "And I don't like to feel guilty!" Maggie says so it's back to being about him again. He says no, she had all those years with a man who deserved her trust, her commitment, but he knew Mickey, "And I, madam, am no Mickey Horton." Maggie understands now, he's scared for himself, he says he doesn't want her to get hurt but he's really afraid that
he will get hurt. Victor says that's ridiculous. She asks him for a favor. She tells him to not invoke Mickey's name like he's become some kind of a saint, she loved him more than life itself, but he was just a man, funny, passionate, and flawed. She starts to say, "Just like you could be if..." Upset, she closes her eyes and takes a slow, deep breath. Victor says, "What?" She says if he manned up. She cocks her head, grabs her purse, and tells him when he wants to have some fun, call. She waves her fingers and says, "Buh-bye," turns and walks away. Victor, shocked, watches her march out and mutters, "Why you little..." The door slams and he yells, "I am not scared!"
2011-05-31 Maggie, Victor, VivianAt Brady Pub, Vivian is grousing to Gus about Stefano, Kate, and then Maggie, when Victor comes in. She observes as Caroline asks Victor if he'll have his usual. He tells her he'll have coffee and pie instead. She asks what Maggie will have. He tells her Maggie isn't joining him, they're taking a little break. Caroline says she sorry to hear that. Vivian tells Gus she is not. Gus smiles and says he can see madam is. Vivian gloats that she's devastated.
At the hospital, Maxine stops Maggie and asks if she's okay, she seems a little sad. Maggie says she had some trouble sleeping but she's fine. Maxine asks if she couldn't sleep because she's missing her fella. Maggie stutters as she tries to say she and Victor are... Maxine finishes for her saying their having a fling. Maggie is speechless. Maxine tells her come on, you can tell me.
Later, at home, Maggie knows that Maxine means well but that was out of line. She wonders why she just stood there like an idiot and didn't tell Maxine that she and Victor are over. Vivian comes to the door with flowers. Maggie asks if it's ticking or are the stems dipped in arsenic? Vivian chuckles and says she knows when to admit defeat. Maggie tells her goodbye. Vivian says wait, she had all that time in the sarcophagus to contemplate her life and put things in perspective. Maggie says yet she didn't figure out that it was stupid and pathetic to just randomly visit people who can't stand the sight of her? Vivian says she decided there's no reason to be vindictive and petty, she's just thinking about long-term goals and plans. Maggie says the only long-term anything involving Vivian that she would be interested in would be her committing hari-kari or getting out of Salem. Vivian just wants to apologize for what she did. Maggie isn't interested. Vivian says she knows Maggie had her sights on Victor, then she saw them being so happy together and thought why interfere with fate, so now she's moved on. She notices Maggie's expression and asks if she's pushed a button. Maggie tries to shut the door as she walks back into the house but Vivian comes in. Vivian apologizes if she's upset her. She says if Maggie wants to talk, she'll listen. Maggie is sure she will but she is the last person she would ever talk to. Vivian asks isn't she still seeing Victor. Just then Victor walks in. He tells Vivian to leave. She starts to tell him why she's there but he says he saw her at the pub and knows she overheard him talking to Caroline. She tells Maggie she did not come to rub anything in, she wanted to advise her to ignore Victor's behavior around women because he's so fickle. He says she knows nothing about him, he never cared a whit for her and never will. He says Maggie, though, he will always care for very deeply. Vivian says sure, if always means until he meets someone younger and more buxom who will worship the ground he walks on. Victor laughs as he repeats, "More buxom?" Vivian tells Maggie she feels her pain. She leaves. Victor and Maggie burst out laughing. Maggie thanks him for getting rid of Vivian. He says he has more experience with getting rid of her, it takes a little finesse. He gives her the casserole dish. She says he didn't have to return it, she's not cooking much anymore. He says that's a shame. She says she'll get back to it some day when... He says when she has someone to cook for. She struggles to not cry, forces a smile, and says yeah, when that happens. She crosses her arms. He says it will, he's sure. She nods and smiles. He tells her good-bye and to take care of herself. She says bye.
