>> Leo: Before Will so rudely interrupted us...

I proposed marriage and you accepted.

I'm holding you to that, Sonny. It's time you make

an honest man of me. >> Will: You, honest?

Not possible. >> Leo: I always wanted

a wedding on the beach. But we can work with winter.

Right, babe? >> Sonny: You've got to be

kidding me. >> Leo: I am dead serious.

>> Hope: You want me to put you into hiding and protect you

from Stefan. And in exchange,

you'll give me the evidence I need to nail Weston.

>> Ted: Exactly. >> Hope: What could you possibly

have on him that I don't? I've been trying to put him away

for months. >> Ted: I was his lawyer,

remember? I know things.

>> Hope: He told you he tried to kill my daughter, didn't he?

>> Rafe: Hey! >> Ben: Hey! What? What?

>> Ciara: Rafe, what the hell are you doing?

>> Hope: Answer me. Did Ben admit he tried

to kill Ciara in that fire? >> Ted: Look, I have to tread

carefully here, Commissioner Brady.

In my profession, as in yours, I'm bound to a code of ethics.

>> Hope: You just admitted that you blackmail people

left and right. And you defend serial killers

with no qualms. >> Ted: My job

is to represent my clients to the best of my ability...

whether they are innocent or guilty.

>> Hope: So he is guilty. >> Ted: No, I-I did not

say that. >> Hope: Don't play games

protecting you from Stefan, I want a straight answer

>> Hope: Then we're done here. You've wasted enough of my time.

>> Ted: No, wait. You may not like me.

But I'm the best shot you have to make sure Ben Weston

will never come close to your daughter ever again.

So please don't blow it. >> Sonny: Why would you want

to marry me? I despise you.

>> Will: Money, of course. But you are insane if you think

Sonny will ever agree to this. >> Leo: He already did.

I proposed that if you married me, I'd make the sexual

harassment lawsuit go away. >> Sonny: It already did.

>> Leo: Right, when I didn't show up in court...

because you tried to kill me. Now, I'm no scholar,

but I would think that harassment plus attempted murder

would be more incentive to put a ring on it.

>> Sonny: How many times do I have to tell you?

What happened was an accident! >> Leo: Perhaps.

But what's the saying? It's not the crime.

It's the cover-up. >> Will: You had your hands

around my neck. Sonny saved me from you.

And I will tell the police exactly that.

>> Leo: And I bet those same police will wonder why,

instead of calling them to tell them about this so-called

accident, you helped Sonny get rid of my body.

>> Sonny: Okay, look. Leave Will out of this.

>> Leo: Gladly. But you, Sonny, are very much

in it. You said yes to tying the knot,

Rafe, I wanted Ben to kiss me. >> Rafe: No, you--

>> Rafe: Because she was gonna come back to the club

>> Ciara: Do you think that something's wrong?

>> Hope: Unless you have rock-solid evidence that Ben

started that fire, you're useless to me.

>> Ted: Define rock-solid. >> Hope: A confession...

of you asking Ben if he torched that cabin

where he answers yes-- preferably on tape.

>> Ted: I-I never ask my clients point-blank if they

committed a crime. It's just bad lawyering.

But if I want to know if Ben did it,

I could certainly find out. >> Hope: Why would he

tell you anything now? >> Ted: I'm pretty good at

making people talk. But I will not start anything

until I am sure that you can protect me from Stefan DiMera.

Can we help each other or not? >> Gabi: How is Abigail

struggling because of me? >> JJ: You lied, Gabi,

and I want to know why. >> Gabi: JJ, I didn't--

>> JJ: No, don't deny it. My mom and I went to Bayview

earlier to see Abigail, and, uh, when we signed

the visitor's log, we saw that you had been there.

You told the nurse that you were my wife,

Gabriella Deveraux? >> Gabi: Well, they asked me

if I was family, and I knew they were gonna say

no if--if I said that I wasn't, so yes, I stretched the truth

a tiny bit, okay? I mean, Abigail's Arianna's

godmother, okay? We're practically family.

>> JJ: I still don't get why you would go there

in the first place. >> Gabi: Because Abigail's

my best friend. >> JJ: And she's furious at you.

She thinks you came up with this big plan to get her committed.

>> Gabi: Okay, but I didn't. >> JJ: You know, you had to know

showing up there could set her off.

And it did. You pushed her over the edge,

Gabi. They had to put her

in isolation! >> Gabi: I didn't know

they would do that. I went there to try to help her,

okay, so that she could understand that I am on her side

so she could accept reality. >> JJ: Reality?

>> Gabi: Yes. Yes, that she's sick

and that she needs help so that she can be with her kids.

I tried to talk to her, but then her alter came out

and she attacked me. >> JJ: Wait, what?

>> Gabi: Yes, she had me pinned against the wall.

She had her hands around my neck.

She was trying to kill me. If Chad hadn't gotten there,

she probably would have. >> JJ: Did something happen

to make her have such an extreme reaction?

>> Gabi: I don't know, okay? She was ranting and raving about

how I was trying to frame her. She--she said that I had

the wig in my bag. >> JJ: Did you?

>> Gabi: No, I didn't, okay? You can ask Chad.

He checked. You know what?

Abigail, she is paranoid, she's delusional,

and she's violent, JJ. She's very, very sick.

I'm very sorry to tell you that. [elevator bell dings]

I was just desperate to get my husband's sight back, and I

felt I had no other choice. >> Kate: Hmm.

Well, you always have a choice. But you hate me,

so you didn't overthink it. You think you're superior

to the rest of us, you and Steve, don't you?

>> Kayla: That's not true. >> Kate: Oh, no, that is true.

Have you forgotten how judgmental you were

in the situation with Tripp? >> Kayla: Well, that wasn't

a situation. That was you trying to cover

your part in Theo's shooting at the expense of my stepson.

>> Kate: Hmm, the same way you dish dirt to Stefan

at my expense. You see, that's called

hypocrisy. >> Kayla: You're right.

>> Kate: Well, stop the presses. Dr. Johnson actually admits

to a moral flaw? >> Kayla: I justified what I did

by telling myself it was for the greater good.

But I realize now that that was a huge mistake, and...

I really am so sorry. >> Kate: Hmm.

You can save it. I don't want your apology.

I want you to admit that you're no better than I am.

>> Kayla: I'm not. >> Kate: Well, for the record,

Roman and I are going to work together to take down Stefan...

which means I suppose we're on the same side.

Just so there's no mistake, I'm in this for myself--

just don't give her any more ammo to feed her

false accusations. >> JJ: Hey.

Hey, how'd your appointment go? >> Gabi: Fine.

It was okay. >> JJ: Well, if you're not

finished, um, I can wait. >> Gabi: No. No, I'm done.

Let's go.

>> Ben: So where do we go from here?

>> Ciara: Well... I just broke up with someone.

I have no idea how I'm gonna pay my rent.

And the money that I used for your lawyer, I got from my

trust fund, which my grandpa froze right after, so...

right now, my life's kind of a mess.

And I don't think I should be, uh, jumping into a new

relationship anytime soon. And I don't think you should be

either. >> Ben: Yeah.

I definitely have to get my act together.

But if I get a job, I find a place to live,

would you maybe consider having dinner with me?

>> Ciara: Sure. >> Ben: [sighs]

>> Hope: Ciara said that she and Ben weren't involved.

>> Rafe: Yeah, well, looks like that's changed.

>> Hope: Oh, my God. Did you--

What did you say to her? Did you talk any sense into her?

>> Rafe: Well, I tried. She wasn't hearing it.

Listen, I'm sorry. I really hate to, uh--

to have to tell you this. >> Hope: No, no.

I'm glad that you did. >> Rafe: Where are you?

I'll come meet you. >> Hope: No, that's okay.

I-I just need to wrap up this case.

I'll see you at home when I'm done.

>> Rafe: Okay. I love you.

>> Hope: I love you too. Bye.

>> Ted: Why didn't you tell your husband about me?

>> Hope: Ciara was kissing Ben Weston.

You're right, Ted. You might be my only chance

to protect my daughter. >> Ted: Are--are you saying

you're gonna hide me? Gonna protect me from Stefan?

>> Hope: [sighs] Let's go before I change

my mind. >> Ted: Let's go.

>> Stefan: Good night, my princess.

Daddy loves you. Good night.

[cell phone ringing]

Yes? What?

What do you mean Ted Laurent has escaped?

>> Kate: You know what they say about loose lips, Stefan.

[dramatic music] ♪ ♪

>> Stefan: Nothing to worry about.

I get regular updates from my security team.

They're keeping a, uh, very close eye on Ted

because, you know, if he were to escape,

he could implicate us both in some very serious crimes.

>> Sonny: I thought Kate took care of Ted.

>> Will: So did I. I don't know what happened,

but--but I'll talk to my grandmother and--and--

and find out. >> Sonny: Will, this--

this is--this is bad. What are we gonna do?

>> Will: We will-- we will figure this out.

We will. We did not come this far

to be torn apart now.
