Roman:

"And you let them do this? How could you little brother?"

Carly:

"Alright that's enough Roman. Everyone needs to leave right now."

"I got your message Mia."

Mia:

"So you came over to see me? You could have just called."

Colin:

"This I need to say in person."

Mia:

"What's that?"

Colin grabs Mia by the throat. Mia tries to pull him off, but his grip is too strong.

Colin:

"Didn't I tell you I'm the one running the show? Huh?

Mia:

"Colin please let me go."

Colin:

"You have just ruined everything."

DANIEL'S APARTMENT

Chloe:

"Okay how did Melanie and Nathan get in your back seat?"

Philip:

"I have no idea, but they were kissing and then they weren't there anymore. Then I don't know what happened."

Chloe:

"Is it possible this was a hallucination?"

Philip:

"Why would I be hallucinating? It doesn't make sense."

Chloe:

"You're so drunk Philip that it's playing with your mind. You think you saw Melanie and Nathan, but you didn't."

Philip:

"You're right I didn't."

Chloe:

"Umm…why don't I get you some dry clothes. I'll wash the ones you have on and make you some coffee."

Philip:

"What about Daniel?"

Chloe:

"He won't be here till tomorrow morning to kick me out."

Philip:

"Oh man I'm sorry Chloe. Where are you going to go?"

Chloe:

"I don't know, but at least I get a whole day to figure it out."

Chloe leaves the living room. Philip watches her leave. She goes into Daniel's closet to get some sweat pants and a tee shirt for Philip to wear. She goes back into the living as Philip starts to undress. She stops a stares as he takes off his shirt. She snaps out of it and walks over to Philip.

Chloe:

"Here you go."

Philip:

"Thank you."

Chloe:

"You're welcome."

Philip:

"Um…are you going to leave?"

Chloe:

"Leave? Why would I leave?"

Philip:

"So I could get changed?"

Chloe:

"Come on it's not like I haven't seen it all before."

Philip:

"At least turn around."

Chloe:

"Fine."

Chloe turns around with a smile on her face. Philip changes into the clothes.

Chloe:

"I can't believe you're being shy right now."

Philip:

"I'm not being shy. You can turn around now."

"I'm going to wash your clothes and put on some coffee."

Roman:

"I knew that drug was a bad idea."

"That boy makes one bad decision after another and now he has my daughter's life in his hands."

Brady walks in.

Brady:

"Hey guys any word on Sami?"

Rafe:

"Yeah she had a seizure thanks to the experiential drug Lucas had Carly give her."

Brady:

"What? What's with this drug what is it suppose to do?"

Rafe:

"To produce more blood because Sami lost so much."

"But the drug's not helping at all?"

"About Lucas."

Alex:

"What about Lucas?"

"No offense taken. It's really about a certain family member of his."

Alex:

"Umm..who? I've met his brother Philip and he's pretty cool a little drama, but nice."

Bo:

"His mother Kate DiMera."

Alex:

"DiMera as in Stefano DiMera?"

Bo:

"Yep they're married."

Alex:

"He hasn't said anything about his mother."

Bo:

"Well let me be the first to warn you that Kate doesn't really like the women that Lucas chooses so it's best to stay on her good side."

Alex:

"Or what will happen?"

Bo:

"It's best that you don't know. I don't want to freak you out."

Alex:

"Umm..too late."

Bo:

"I'm not trying to scare you or scare you away from Lucas. It's just my first impression is that I like you so this is why I'm warning you."

Alex:

"Well you have scared me commissioner."

Bo:

"You're close with Sami right?"

Alex:

"Yeah Sami's pretty cool chick. She opened my eyes to Lucas."

Bo:

"That's good you should talk to her when she wakes up on how to deal with Kate DiMera."

"Okay Bo."

"I know it's crazy, but it's working. I'm going to finish giving her the drug."

Carly injects the rest of the drug into Sami's IV. She and Lucas wait to see how Sami will react.

"Come on Sami let this work for you."

Roman:

"I can't take this waiting. I need to see my daughter."

Carly:

"So far so good."

EJ walks into the room. Carly and Lucas turn to see him.

EJ:

"How is Samantha?"

Lucas:

"Carly gave Sami a drug that's making her better."

Carly:

"Her vitals are getting much stronger."

EJ:

"Has she woken up yet?"

Lucas:

"Not yet."

EJ:

"Come on Samantha. You need to wake up and get better for the children and for us we're selfish. We don't want to live life without."

Lucas:

"For once I agree with you EJ."

Roman, Rafe, and Brady walk in and see EJ. EJ, Lucas, and Carly turn to look at them.

Roman:

"What the hell is he doing in here."

EJ:

"Hello to you too Roman."

Rafe:

"You need to get out of here now."

EJ:

"I'm worried about the mother of my children."

"No she's not she gave Sami a drug that gave her a seizure."

EJ:

"Well it's working now. Her vitals are up."

Rafe:

"What are you talking about?"

Carly:

"Sami's vitals have improved since the partial dose so I gave the rest."

Rafe:

"So Sami is going to be just fine?"

Lucas:

"Yes she is so you two can shut up!"

Sami's hand moves.

Roman:

"But she had a seizure. How can the drug work if it caused her to have a seizure?"

Carly:

"The seizure didn't last long at all and didn't do any damage."

Roman:

"This doesn't make any sense."

EJ:

"It makes perfect sense. Lucas was right and you guys were wrong."

Rafe:

"That's it get the hell out.

Rafe grabs EJ and starts to dragging him towards the door. Brady opens it and Roman helps Rafe throw EJ out of the room. All four leave. Carly closes the door behind them.

Sami:

"That's exactly what Rafe said."

Lucas:

"Where is lover boy?"

Sami:

"Gabi got hurt last night. He went to see how she was doing."

Lucas:

"Oh yeah Will told me about that. He saw her in the ER when he was visiting Mia."

Sami:

"Mia? What happened with her?"

Lucas:

"Will saw someone dump her off at the front of the hospital last night. He brought her into the ER."

Sami:

"Oh my gosh is she okay?"

Lucas:

"Just needed some stitches."

Sami:

"Poor kid. If getting involved with Nicole wasn't bad enough."

Lucas:

"Oh speaking of Nicole. She got hit by a car last night."

Sami:

"Why? Is she going to be okay?"

Lucas:

"She'll live to torture again."

Sami:

"Oh darn."

Lucas:

"Now I feel like I bummed you out."

"You did, but I love your flowers now what's in that bag?"

"Hey guys."

"What were you thinking getting on a boat in the middle of a storm?"

Gabi:

"Good morning to you too sis."

Rafe:

"That was really irresponsible for you and Chad. I don't want you to see him anymore."

Gabi:

"That's not fair. Chad is my friend and he needs me now more than ever."

Arianna:

"Chad has other friends to help him deal with the lost of his mother."

Rafe:

"That was his fault. You could have died too."

Kate walks in.

Kate:

"Aren't you two the sweetest people ever."

"Kate who invited you in here?"

Kate:

"I was just coming to check on Gabi. How are you feeling?"

Gabi:

"I'm better. Just sad about Chad's mom."

Kate:

"Me too. Unlike some people."

Rafe:

"It's not that we're not sad about Judge Peterson-Woods' passing. It's just we don't want our sister near her son."

Kate:

"Yes because this is the best time for Chad to lose people."

Arianna:

"I'm trying to figure out how this is any of your business."

Kate:

"I feel for Chad. Yes he made a mistake, but it doesn't mean we should just forget about him. Everyone needs someone."

Rafe:

"Then you can help Chad."

Arianna:

"And leave us the hell alone."

Kate rolls her eyes and leaves.

"Of course. You don't want me to kill your baby daddy, your meal ticket, your true love."

Chloe:

"How could you be so cruel?"

Daniel:

"I'm wonder about that…about you. After all that I've done for you. After everything I went through because of you and this is how you repay me? By cheating on me with the man I hate and now you're having his baby. You disgust me. I want you out of my life and out of my apartment now. "

"Nathan, that's what insurance companies are for."

Nathan:

"I know it's just that it was just minor and I felt bad. You were so mad at me last night."

Melanie:

"Yeah I remember. I'm sorry Nathan. It's not your fault that Philip cheated on me and made a baby with Chloe."

Nathan:

"Daniel could still be the father."

Melanie:

"It still doesn't make a difference. I don't want to be with Philip anymore either way. He hurt me and I'm not going to allow him to do it again."

Carrie:

"Who do you think it was?"

Anna:

"No one in particular."

Carrie:

"Are you okay?"

Anna:

"Yeah I'm fine you know except the fact that I'm about to go to prison. It's not like I hurt Sydney. I took really good care of her."

Carrie:

"Well the person that hired you made Sami think that her daughter was dead. You need to tell the FBI about this person so that Sami can have peace of mine."

"You'll be sorry you talked to me this way one day."

"Oh so soon."

"Goodbye Victor."

Vivian:

"Daniel."

Daniel:

"Vivian"

Vivian continues out of the mansion.

Victor:

"Now that the witch is gone, we can talk about what you're going to do with Chloe."

Daniel:

"Yeah about that. I don't feel right throwing her out while she's pregnant and the baby might be mine."

Victor:

"Oh Daniel stop being so soft."

Daniel:

"Soft? I need to think like this for the baby sake. What happens if something happens to the baby or Chloe because I threw them out."

Victor:

"Chloe's resourceful. She'll find a way to survive."

Daniel:

"It just doesn't feel right."

Victor:

"Don't tell me that you still want the little slut?"

Daniel:

"Don't call her that."

Victor:

"Oh my gosh. You do."

Daniel:

"It's hard to just turn off my feelings for her just like that."

Victor:

"You didn't feel that way last night and that was before you got drunk."

Daniel:

"You're right, but now that I've slept on it. I realize that maybe I should try to work it out with her or at least help her out."

Victor:

"You don't own that bitch a damn thing. Kick her out while the wound is still fresh. The last thing you want to do is get stuck with that tramp and her kid."

Daniel:

"That kid might end up being your grandchild."

Victor:

"Dammit Daniel, it's too early for a drink."

Daniel:

"Then let's not talk about it at all then."

Victor:

"For now, but Daniel you'll be making a bigger mistake if you take Chloe back. Just let everything you said last night stand."

Daniel pauses for a moment. He puts his glass down and walks out of the mansion.

"Why are you going back home?"

"I think something ills my sister. I spoke to her a little while ago and she was quite sad."

Honor:

"How can she be sad when she has that hunky doctor fiancé?"

Joy:

"Hunky guys don't bring you happiness all the time. I need to get to her. She will never tell me what's the matter over the phone. Honor can you promise me that you won't speak of this to anyone until I'm out of town?"

Honor:

"No I will not."

Joy:

"Why not? I kept quiet about you making out with Jimmy Moon behind the oak tree."

Honor:

"No. I'm not going to keep silent because I'm going with you."

Joy:

"There's no time to pack. I'm leaving right now."

Nathan:

"Maybe dinner then?"

Melanie:

"I don't think that's a good idea Nathan."

Nathan:

"We're still friends aren't we?"

Melanie:

"I want to be, but don't think that's a good idea either."

Nathan:

"Why is that?"

Melanie:

"You know why Nathan. You're in love with me Nathan. And now that I'm divorcing Philip you think it's a good time to make a move on me."

"Is that so wrong?"

"No you're not."

Melanie:

"I am. I want to."

Nathan:

"You're just afraid. It's alright I'll wait forever for you."

Melanie:

"Maybe you should go. Or I should go."

Nathan:

"You're right. I should tone it down. Give you a chance to get rid of your good for nothing husband."

Melanie:

"I'm just gonna go home. Where are my keys?"

Philip:

"What about my drinking? I'll admit that I was pretty drunk when I showed up at your door."

Chloe:

"And you drove."

"I know I messed up. I'm not going to do it again. I swear. I need to act more mature for our baby if I am the father."

"I saw your car Philip. It's pretty banged up."

Philip stares at Chloe silently.

Chloe:

"What did you hit? Or who did you hit?"

Philip:

"Who? What do you mean?"

Chloe:

"You said that you saw Nathan and Melanie kissing."

Philip:

"It was a hallucination. You said so yourself."

Chloe:

"Maybe it wasn't. Maybe you did see them expect it wasn't in the back seat of your car it was in outside of it."

Philip:

"What are you trying to say?"

Chloe:

"Maybe you hit them."

Philip:

"What? I wouldn't hurt Melanie."

"I don't see how helping Carrie with her bag constitutes me interfering in her marriage."

Anna:

"I saw the way you looked at her. Not to mention yesterday in the airport when you met her. You had this big grin on your face."

Derrick:

"No I didn't. I'm not interested in your daughter Mrs. DiMera."

UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL: SAMI'S ROOM

Rafe sits in a chair by Sami's bed looking through a magazine as Sami talks on the phone with her brother Eric.

Sami:

"Yeah I was shot can you believe it? And Nicole was there and apparently very sad that I got shot. No they don't know who did it yet, but whoever it was probably won't make it to jail with everyone wanting to kill him or her. No Eric you're not joining in. You're going to stay in Colorado you just got that big fat promotion. Now don't mess it up."

Rafe looks at Sami. Sami notices.

Sami:

"Okay so go back to work and I'll talk to you later."

"Okay bye."

Rafe:

"Can I finally do this?"

Sami:

"Do what?"

Rafe soflty kisses her lips slowly. They stop and stare at one another with smiles.

Sami:

"You could have done that before."

Rafe:

"Not with you yapping your mouth on the phone."

Sami:

"I had to tell my family that I got shot."

Rafe:

"Someone else could have done that."

Sami:

"But it's better that they hear my voice then they know I'm fine."

Rafe:

"Oh come on like anything can keep Samantha Brady down."

Sami:

"You didn't seem to think so last night."

Rafe:

"Yeah I didn't because I was so scared for you."

Sami:

"Well you don't have to be scared anymore. I'm going to live. And you own Lucas an apology."

Rafe:

"You're right I do. I was completely unfair to him and I will apology next time I see him, but I'm not apologizing to EJ."

Sami laughs.

Sami:

"Thank you that will mean so much to me and no you don't have to apologize to EJ."

Rafe:

"Good"

Sami:

"You know, Lucas knows better than anyone that I would risk it all if it means getting me back to my kids. That's why I left him in charge of my living will. I knew that my family would have just taken the safe route. I trust Lucas with my life. Lucas is my constant in my life."

Rafe:

"What about me? Do you trust me with my life?"

Sami:

"Of course I do more than anyone. You've saved it more then I can think. You saved me from that hitman, EJ, you helped me through Grace's death, and most important you brought my daughter Sydney back to me. You got her away from the wicked witch of Salem and for that I'll always be grateful."

Sami and Rafe kiss slowly again.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

Eddie:

"You told me that this is your car and it's not."

Nathan:

"It is."

Eddie:

"Oh really. So your name is Melanie Kiriakis now?"

Nathan looks down.

Eddie:

"I checked the plates on the car."

Nathan:

"Why would you do that? You said you would fix it no questions asked."

Eddie:

"Because I saw the news about a hit and run that happened not too far from where I picked up your little friend's car."

Nathan:

"So it's a coincidence."

Eddie:

"You and I know there's no way."

Nathan freezes.

Melanie:

"She was going to send me this horrible text message until Nathan stopped her."

Maggie:

"A text message. Really?"

Melanie shakes her head yes.

Maggie:

"Why so angry over a text message?"

Melanie:

"It was going to tell me that Philip cheated on me."

"It wasn't a lie Maggie. Philip really did cheat on me."

She hugs him.

Will:

"I was so worried about you when I found you last night."

They stop hugging.

Mia:

"Really?"

Will:

"Yeah why wouldn't I be?"

Mia:

"Because of the way that I've treated you."

Will:

"That's not really important right now. What's important is that you get better and they find out who did this to you."

Mia:

"No they can't."

Will looks at Mia confused.

UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL: NICOLE'S ROOM

EJ:

"I don't have an ulterior motive. Why would I have an ulterior motive?"

Nicole:

"Hmm…let's see. I was keeping your secret because you agreed to keep my secret about me framing Arianna and that's out now so what's stopping me from telling Sami who really kidnapped Sydney?"

EJ:

"That thought never crossed my mind, but now that you mentioned it. I'm sure we can work something out."

Nicole:

"There is nothing you can do for me that will stop me from telling Sami the truth."

EJ:

"How about money? Lots of it."

Nicole:

"Nope."

Nicole folds her arms and looks away from EJ.

EJ:

"Come on Nikki. There has to be something that you want."

"Nicole, you're awake great."

"EJ could you step out for a second. I need to talk with Nicole about her condition."

EJ:

"Is it serious?"

Nicole:

"Am I going to die?"

Lexie:

"Calm down. No it's not serious and you're not going to die."

Nicole:

"Oh thank goodness."

EJ:

"That's nice so what's the prognoisous?"

Lexie:

"That is for Nicole and I to discuss."

EJ:

"Fine. I'll leave."

"So what's wrong with me doc?"

Lexie:

"I'm just going to keep it short and sweet. Nicole, you're pregnant."

Nicole's eyes grow.

THE PUB

"Oh my gosh hit by a car?"

Philip:

"Do they know who did this?"

"Philip are you okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine."

"Philip might have or might not have got Chloe pregnant."

Maggie:

"Chloe?"

Melanie:

"Yeah he slept with Chloe Lane my father's slutty fiancé. Hopefully former."

Maggie:

"Oh my gosh. Sweetie I'm so sorry. For you and Daniel."

Melanie:

"You know the worst part about it?"

Maggie:

"How could it get any worse?"

Melanie:

"Philip couldn't even tell me the truth. He made up a lie that he cheated on me with some stranger."

Maggie:

"Why tell you that he cheated at all if he wasn't going to tell the whole truth?

Melanie:

"I think it was because Chloe told him that she told my dad the truth."

Maggie:

"What makes you think that?"

Melanie:

"Because when he came here he was all bruised up from my dad. I guess he caught them in the act or something."

Maggie:

"So this is some ongoing affair?"

Melanie:

"I don't know and I don't care. All I know is that I'm divorcing him, but first I need a shower."

Melanie heads to the stairs. She stops and turns around to face Maggie.

Melanie:

"The shower isn't a crime scene too is it?"

Maggie:

"No just in here."

Melanie:

"Good."

Melanie walks upstairs. Bo walks into the back door.

Bo:

"Maggie."

Maggie:

"Hey Bo. Any leads?"

Bo:

"They collected as much evidence as they could find and it's not a lot. Nothing out of the ordinary. I'm about to question Mia again. She wasn't very talkative last night. Do you have any idea of who would have attacked her?"

Maggie:

"No idea."

Bo:

"We if you can remember anything just call me. I'll be at the hospital."

Maggie:

"Okay I will Bo."

Bo walks out the door. He picks up his cell and calls Hope. It goes straight to voicemail. He leaves a message.

Bo:

"Hope it's Bo. Where are you? I'm worried. Give me a call as soon as you get this."

He hangs up.

Bo:

"Where are you fancy face?"

He asks himself.

Hope:

"Who are you? Why are I here? Where is here?"

Baker:

"What do you have amensia or something? I'm Dick and you brought us here to Puerto Rico. You said this would be a great place to hid out from the DiMeras.

Hope:

"Why would we be hiding from the DiMeras? Why would I be hiding from the DiMeras? What is going on? Wait….Dick?"

Baker:

"Yeah. Are you remembering?"

Hope:

"Richard Baker? Dr. Richard Baker?"

Baker:

"Yes you remember me."

Hope:

"Yeah, you're suppose to be dead."

Baker:

"But I'm not. I just pretended to."

Hope:

"To hide from the DiMeras, but now they know you're alive and they want to kill you for what you did."

Baker:

"That and what you got me into."

Hope:

"What did I get you into?"

Baker:

"The muggings."

UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL: MIA'S ROOM

Will:

"Why don't you want the person that attack you to be caught?"

Mia:

"Because it was just an accident. Nothing to be worried about."

Will:

"If it was just an accident then why didn't he bring you into the hospital and instead of throwing you on the ground in the middle of a storm?"

Mia:

"He must have been scared."

Will:

"So it's a guy?"

Mia:

"Yes it was a guy."

Will:

"What's his name? Where does he live?"

Mia:

"Why do you even care Will?"

Will:

"Because someone attacked an innocent person and left them to die. That person need to be put away. He could attack more people."

Mia:

"He's not going to do that."

Will:

"How can you be so sure? Wait, did you plan this?"

Mia looks at Will in shock.

"Pregnant? There has to be some mistake. Some really cruel mistake."

Lexie:

"Why is that?"

Nicole:

"Dr. Baker told me that I couldn't have anymore kids."

Lexie:

"By your test results there is nothing saying that you can't conceive and that you can't care him or her to full term."

Nicole:

"You mean Baker was lying to me?"

Lexie:

"Looks like it unless something changed over the last year which I doubt."

Nicole:

"That bastard I could kill him."

Lexie:

"I wouldn't blame you. Thank goodness he is dead."

"I found out that you were framed."

Arianna is shocked. Outside the Pub, Philip and Stephanie stand face to face.

Stephanie:

"Just saw Chloe leave. Were you two celebrating ruining my life?"

Philip:

"Stephanie I don't have time for your drama. Move out of my way."

Philip tries to walk away, but Stephanie stops him.

Stephanie:

"Any chance that I had with Nathan is gone all because you couldn't keep it in your pants."

Philip:

"Oh grow up Stephanie. If you can't keep Nathan then that's your own fault. Not mine, Chloe's, or anyone else's. So leave me the hell alone."

"I don't know maybe by the way that you've been acting lately."

Mia:

"Well I didn't okay. So you can just leave me alone."

Will:

"Well if you didn't plan this then what happened?"

Mia:

"I can't tell you."

Will:

"Why not?"

"Because….it's too dangerous."

"How? I mean I thought you couldn't have kids. This is so great for you."

"So what's the problem?"

Nicole:

"Dr. Baker told me that I couldn't have anymore kids. He lied to me."

Chloe:

"I'm so sorry Nicole. It's a good thing he's dead."

Nicole:

"He's not he's alive."

Chloe:

"What? How do you know?"

Nicole:

"I used him to frame Arianna for the muggings."

Chloe:

"What? So you're the…"

Nicole:

"No he is with another woman. Never got her name."

Chloe:

"Why would you frame Arianna?"

Nicole:

"So that I could have Brady."

Melanie:

"There is only one thing I need to say to you."

Philip:

"Okay what is it?"

Melanie:

"I want a divorce"

Philip:

"Of course because you want Nathan."

Melanie:

"This has nothing to do with Nathan. It has to do with the fact that not only did you hurt me, but you hurt my dad. You didn't trust my love for you."

Philip:

"Well excuse me for having doubts. And here we are. This is a prime example of why I had doubts."

Melanie:

"Oh don't blame this on me. You cheated. I didn't."

Philip:

"You kissed Nathan."

Melanie:

"Nathan kissed me."

Philip:

"I didn't see you pulling away from him."

Melanie:

"I was surprised."

Philip:

"Surpried by what? That he kissed you or that you love him?"

Melanie pauses. She sniffles.

Philip:

"Just admit it Melanie. You're in love with Nathan."

Tears form in Melanie's eyes.

Melanie:

"Yes Philip, yes I love Nathan…and I never stopped, but I loved you too."

Philip:

"Yeah right"

Melanie:

"I did. I still kinda do, but my love for Nathan is so much stronger. I wish I knew that he felt the way that I felt about him before we got married. Then everything would be different."

Philip:

"I'm glad that you finally admitted what I always felt."

Melanie:

"So you'll grant me the divorce?"

Philip:

"Gladly."

Philip brushes past her and walks out of the kitchen. Melanie cries as she walks to the table to grab her purse and Nathan's keys. She takes a deep breath then leaves the house.

"It's okay Chloe. I have a call button."

Chloe:

"I'll be right outside."

Chloe and Nicole smile at one another. Chloe turns and gives EJ a smile before walking out the room.

EJ:

"So tell me the truth. What baby?"

Nicole:

"What's with you and babies? First you kidnap one now you're hearing the word and assume it's about a real baby."

EJ:

"Are you pregnant?"

Nicole:

"I can't have kids."

EJ:

"Answer the question Nicole. You know I'll find the truth."

"I'm going to be a father again?"

EJ smiles.

Nicole:

"No Brady is."

EJ start to frown.

EJ:

"But we slept together."

Nicole:

"And I slept with Brady too."

"It doesn't matter if you're the father or not. You can't claim this child."

EJ stares madly at Nicole.

THE PUB

Arianna:

"You have evidence that I was framed?"

Arianna asks estactically.

Brady:

"Not exactly, but I know the person or rather persons that did it and got a confession from one of them."

Arianna:

"Okay who?"

Brady:

"Nicole DiMera."

Arianna:

"I knew it. I knew she would do something like this and EJ knew it too. He was going to prove it, but couldn't get the evidence."

Brady:

"Oh EJ knew what Nicole was up to."

Arianna:

"No he didn't. He suspected it, but couldn't prove it."

Brady:

"Oh he proved it alright, but he didn't tell anyone because Nicole found something on him."

Arianna:

"Oh really? What?"

Brady:

"I'm not sure, but I'm pretty sure I can get it out of Nicole. I was about to go check on her now."

Arianna:

"Go check on her? Oh yeah that's right before she's so fragile now that she's be exposed? Need to smack the bottle out of her hand?"

Brady:

"No she was hit by a car last night."

Arianna:

"Aww…what a shame."

Brady:

"Ari she could have died last night."

Arianna:

"And I'm suppose to feel sorry for her? Because I don't. If the roles were reverse, Nicole wouldn't care. She would use this as an opportunity to get something else she wants."

Brady:

"You know I'm tired of arguing with you. I just wanted you to know what I know."

Arianna:

"Well you told me so now go to Nicole's side."

Brady walks away. Arianna watches him leave.

"Always."

"Are you going to leave me for Melanie?"

Nathan:

"What? Where is this coming from?"

Stephanie:

"Philip told me that he cheated on Melanie with Chloe and now they might be having a baby and Melanie's really pissed with him. So that is why I'm asking. Are you leaving me for Melanie?"

Nathan touches her face with both of his hands.

"No. I'm not. I want you."

"What happened?"

Mia:

"I met him in the park. I was venting about all that had happen to me because of Nicole. And he showed up behind me and told me that he could help me get revenge on Nicole because he hates her too. And I was stupid enough to accept his help because he's done nothing to get revenge on Nicole."

"You're lying. You can't have kids."

Will:

"Attack? What are you talking about?"

Colin:

"When you and Chad were digging through his mom's safe deposit box, do you remember getting hit over the head? That was me and Mia knew about it."

Will looks at Mia.

Mia:

"I found out after. I didn't tell him to do it. It's all a part of his stupid revenge plot that I don't want to have any part of."

Colin:

"Oh now you don't want any part of it since you're not getting your way."

Mia:

"No because you're a psycho and I should have never gotten involved with you."

Melanie:

"I know that I don't want Philip anymore. My marriage is over."

Melanie sits down on the bench.

Daniel:

"You can do better than Philip."

Melanie:

"I know that's why I ended our marriage. Philip is going to file today."

"That is great news. You should be celebrating not crying."

"Philip isn't the reason I'm crying."

Chloe:

"I scheduled an amino for today. Could you come down to the hospital so you can give a DNA sample?"

Philip:

"That's great. I'll be down there in a few."

Chloe:

"Great I'll see you then."

Philip:

"Bye Chloe."

Philip hangs up the phone as Maggie walks in.

Maggie:

"You didn't waste any time did you?"

Philip turns around.

Philip:

"What do you mean? Moving out?"

Maggie:

"No weren't you just talking to Chloe?"

Philip:

"Yeah I was."

Maggie:

"Planning a romantic evening together to pick out baby names?"

Philip:

"Not that it's any of your business, but no we weren't. Chloe was telling me that she scheduled an amino today. I need to give a sample so she can prove to Daniel that he the father so they can get back together."

Maggie:

"So you want Chloe and Daniel to be happy together?"

Philip:

"Yes. I want that more than anything. I already did enough to screw that up."

Maggie:

"But where that leave you?"

Philip:

"All alone I guess."

Maggie:

"Just like you deserve."

"Maybe I do, but I'm not the only one that did wrong here. Melanie was busy pining away for your Grandson."

"Sure why not."

Lexie:

"One minute. I'll be timing you."

Lexie walks out of the room.

EJ:

"Brady doesn't seem too excited about this baby."

Nicole:

"He will be. He just needs some time."

EJ:

"I don't need time. I'm willing to do whatever to make you comfortable. Give you a more suitable place to live than that motel."

Nicole:

"I will have a more suitable place to live. It's call the Kiriakis mansion in Brady's bed. My baby will be well taken care of and so will I. We don't need you EJ. So get going your minute is almost up."

EJ:

"You really think I will allow Brady Black or any other Kiriakis take care of my child?"

Nicole:

"This isn't your child."

EJ:

"It might be and I have a right to a DNA test."

Nicole:

"The only right you have EJ is to shut up because if you breathe a word of this to anybody I will tell Sami that you kidnapped Sydney so fast you won't have time to figure out how to cover your ass. So what is it EJ? Do you want to risk not being a part of Johnny and Sydney's lives anymore all because of this baby that might not even be yours? Because you know that is what's going to happen. Sami will cut you off from them and then have them calling Rafe daddy. Is that what you want EJ? Because I don't think that is what you want."

EJ prepares to speak then stops. He takes a deep breath.

EJ:

"It is not."

Nicole:

"Good then we agree. You can run along now. Baby Black and I need a nap….doctor's orders."

"About being pregnant?"

Nicole:

"Is it true?"

Chloe:

"Yeah it is."

Nicole:

"Oh my gosh. I can't believe that we're both pregnant at the same time. This is going to be so great."

Chloe:

"Yeah it will be once I find out who's the father. That's why I scheduled an amino today."

Nicole:

"That's great. The sooner the better. Find out that Daniel is the father so you two can get back together."

Chloe:

"I don't think it will be that easy."

Nicole:

"It will be once I get out of here. I will help you get him back."

Chloe:

"I see that getting hit by a car hasn't changed you."

Nicole:

"Nope."

They laugh.

Nicole:

"Ooh I have something for you in my purse."

"You didn't go there to see her?"

EJ:

"No I went to see Nicole."

Abe:

"Oh yeah she was hit by a car right?"

EJ:

"Yep she was, but is doing much better."

Abe:

"You don't seem to be happy about that or anything really. What's wrong EJ?"

EJ takes a deep breath.

EJ:

"Children, we'd do anything for them no problem. But could you really be able to do nothing for them? Not being able to see them, but you know that they are there?"

Abe:

"I went through life without knowing about my son Brandon."

"I didn't know you had another son."

Abe:

EJ:

"Nicole has told me several stories about him."

Abe:

"Even sicker was right before he died he raped a high school student named Jan Spears. So glad that he is gone. I hate that my son had to grow up around that man. He deserved a great life."

EJ:

"What if Paul was a decent guy? Would you have regretted not being in Brandon's life?"

"That's a tricky question. I'm trying to picture Paul good. But I think I would have regretted it less."

Baker:

"I know you're not."

Baker:

"Maybe it would be a good idea for you to go home. So that you can figure this all out."

"Well you're wrong because I could care less about Nicole."

Arianna:

"It just didn't seem that way when you guys in were at Java and I'm sure you visited her in the hospital today."

EJ:

"And what makes you think that?"

Arianna:

"Mary ratted you out."

EJ:

"So I went to see if she had died."

Arianna:

"You don't mean that. Something happened at the hospital. What is it?"

EJ slams his drink down.

EJ:

"Fine. You want to know what's wrong? Fine I'll tell you. Nicole is pregnant….and Brady's the father."

Arianna is shocked.

PUERTO RICO

Baker continues to stare at the diamond. A woman walks up behind Shawn. He puts the ring away then turns around.

Shawn:

"Shelley hey."

Shelley:

"Hey Shawn. Was that a ring I saw?"

Shawn:

"Why yes it was. What do you think?"

Shelley:

"It's gorgeous. Belle is one lucky lady."

Shawn:

"Because of the ring or because of me?"

Shelley:

"Because of the ring…no I'm just joking. She's lucky to have you. I hope that one day that maybe I can find a guy just as great as you."

Shawn:

"He's out there I'm sure."

Belle walks up.

Belle:

"Who's out there?"

"It's 7pm."

Hope:

"Well we better get to work then."

Hope gets out of bed.

Baker:

"Work?"

Hope walks over to him.

Hope:

"Yes work. We need to find a mark. Something big. It should be much easier down here with all the tourists."

Baker:

"Wait, what happened when I was gone?"

Hope:

"I took a nap. Dick get with it or you won't get a cut."

Baker:

"You said you were going to take an aspirin….oh my gosh that's it."

Hope:

"You're an idiot?"

Baker picks up Hope's purse.

Hope:

"Why are you in my purse?"

Baker pulls out two pill bottles. He reads the bottles. He puts the aspirins down and focuses on the sleeping pills. He shows Hope the bottle.

Baker:

"Do you take these regularly?"

Hope:

"Aspirins? If I get a headache I suppose."

Baker:

"No the sleeping pills."

Hope:

"How could I possibly take sleeping pills when I'm up with you all night? Does that make any sense doctor?"

Baker thinks about it.

THE PUB

Alex:

"I wouldn't call him my boyfriend just yet. He's just someone to have fun with."

Lucas:

"We have a lot of fun."

Alex laughs. Adrienne takes a deep breath.

Adrienne:

"Well good for you two. Very cute."

Lucas:

"Thank you Adrienne."

Stephanie looks at Adrienne funny. Justin stands up.

Justin:

"Well I better get going. Going to deliver the good news to Victor."

Everyone says bye to Justin. Stephanie pulls Adrienne aside. Alex's phone rings. She looks at the id.

Alex:

"Oh this is the Salem Inn. I asked them if I could have a bigger suite then we'll really have fun tonight."

Lucas:

"Well answer that right up."

Alex laughs then answers.

Alex:

"Hello. Yes this is she. What? Oh my gosh I'll be right there."

Lucas:

"What's wrong?"

Alex:

"A pipe burst in my room. All my stuff is getting all wet. I have to go there."

Lucas:

"I'm coming with you."

Stephanie:

"What were you looking at?"

Adrienne:

"Umm…Alex looks like she got some bad news. She and Lucas ran out of here."

Adrienne takes a sip of tea.

Stephanie:

"Oh come on Aunt Adrienne. I know exactly what's going on here."

Adrienne looks confusedly at Stephanie. Stephanie smiles.

DIMERA MANSION

Arianna:

"Nicole's…Nicole's pregnant? I thought she couldn't have any more kids that's why she kidnapped Sydney."

EJ:

"I thought so too, but apparently someone's been lying to her because she is perfectly fine."

Arianna:

"And she slept with Brady to get pregnant to keep him. How pathetic is that woman?"

EJ:

"It wasn't like that."

Arianna:

"You're defending her now?"

EJ:

"She found out that she can have kids after she found out she was pregnant. Seems like Brady really cares for her and will take great care of the baby."

Arianna takes a deep breath.

Arianna:

"Brady's the father. He's going to want to be with her. Forget ever…"

Arianna starts to cry. EJ grabs a tissue and hands it to her. She takes it.

EJ:

"You still love Brady don't you?"

Arianna cries.

Arianna:

"I wanted to marry him. We could have been married now. If it wasn't for that bitch. And now…."

Arianna balls her fists up.

Arianna:

"..she got pregnant and Brady's not going to walk away from her. So that means there is no room for me. Which answers your question. Yes I love Brady. I wanted to marry him, but I can't. Nicole has ruined us. Just like she did with you. All she does is hurt people because she's selfish and I feel sorry for her kid because he or she is going to just be as screwed up as she is because they'll be paying for her mistakes."

EJ and Arianna look sadly at one another.

UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL: LOBBY

"I have to go save Mia."

Nathan stops him.

Nathan:

"Will I can't let you do that."

Carly:

"Bo's out there he will stop that maniac and save Mia."

"I hope Uncle Bo blows him away."

"Drop the gun and let Mia go now."

"Umm…no I'm not Bo. Aren't you listening? Mia and I have some business to attend to."

Mia squrims.

Mia:

"Bo help me please."

Mia cries. Colin laughs.

Colin:

"Aww…shut up."

In Nicole's room, Nicole wonders what's going on in the lobby.

Nicole:

"What is all that noise? I'm trying to watch my soaps."

"I'm going to shut these people up."

"I can help with that."

Shawn and Belle head back upstairs.

THE PUB

Adrienne:

"What do you think is going on?"

Stephanie:

"You still have a thing for Uncle Justin."

Adrienne:

"What? No I don't."

Stephanie:

"You do too. I saw you when you were looking at Justin and Alex. You looked so jealous then Lucas walked in and Alex ran to him and kissed him. I saw this big sigh of relief on your face."

Adrienne:

"That was because I was glad that he finally closed that deal. It was stressing him and now he can just relax."

Stephanie:

"And that has nothing to do with that fact that you thought Alex was interested in Justin."

Adrienne:

"I saw Alex with Lucas at karaoke night. They seemed interested in each other."

Stephanie:

"But you thought with Lucas' track record that she would soon set her eyes on another hunky rich guy like Chloe and Carrie."

Adrienne:

"No. I never doubted that Alex was interested in Justin."

Stephanie:

"Come on now it's just us girls. You can tell me the truth."

Adrienne:

"Fine Stephanie. Yes I still love Justin."

Stephanie smiles.

Stephanie:

"I knew it."

Stephanie:

"Yeah yeah yeah."

Stephanie and Adrienne drink some tea.

PUERTO RICO

Baker:

"You're right that doesn't make sense."

Hope:

"Alrighty then. Let's go find us a sucker."

Baker:

"This still doesn't explain your sudden change in behavior unless you really do have a split personality."

Hope:

"Are you just going to stand there all day trying to figure out what's going on here? Let's just go out have some fun then tomorrow we'll fly back to Salem back to my life where I cry about everything."
