>> Gabi: [sighs]

Congratulations, Chad. You are the father

of a beautiful baby girl. >> Chad: Gabi?

>> Gabi: Chad. >> Chad: Sorry, I didn't mean

to startle you. >> Gabi: Oh, it's okay.

It's fine. >> Chad: Judging by the look

on your face, whatever's on that piece of paper

isn't very good. >> Gabi: It's nothing.

>> Chad: Like hell it is.

My guess is that whatever's on that piece of paper

is upsetting you. Want to talk about it?

>> Will: It was bad enough to find out that my grandmother

was the one behind the lawsuit. Now to hear that

your best friend stood by and did nothing?

>> Sonny: I know. >> Will: I'm so sorry.

>> Sonny: How'd it go with Kate? >> Will: Well, I...

At first, I blew up at her for what she did.

And then I... I tried to convince her

to come clean, now, before Leo can do any more

damage to you. >> Sonny: To us.

>> Will: I tried my best, but I--I--I don't know

if I got through to her. >> Kate: You did.

I get it. I did this.

I blew up your life, Sonny, and yours,

and I need to own it. I take full responsibility

for what I did.

>> Hope: Oh, I'll find a way. I'll do whatever it takes

to bring Weston down. I can't believe

I'm lying to my husband. I'm on my way.

so are the "Days of Our Lives."

>> Hope: I didn't know you were there.

>> Rafe: Thought you'd be gone by now.

>> Hope: I had, uh, a couple of things I had to

take care of, but I am on my way now.

>> Rafe: Jenn must be really anxious to get that locket.

>> Hope: Yeah, she is. You know how she gets

when she wants something. >> Rafe: I can still take you.

>> Hope: No. No, I got it. I got it right here, and, um,

thank you. >> Rafe: Uh-huh.

Give Jenn my best. >> Hope: I will.

>> Rafe: Okay. >> Hope: Okay.

>> Rafe: Great. >> Hope: Bye.

>> Rafe: Bye.

>> Eli: Yo! Just the man I was looking for.

>> Rafe: Oh, uh, I kind of got something

to take care of. >> Eli: More important than

the Dietrich case? >> Rafe: You got something?

>> Eli: I might. I'm really close, but I could

use some help unraveling it all. >> Rafe: Okay.

>> Eli: Unless that "something" you need to take care of

really can't wait. >> Rafe: No, it's, uh...

nothing important. I'm all yours.

>> Eli: All right.

>> Gabi: I could never hide anything from you.

>> Chad: That's more like it. >> Gabi: [sighs]

Well, I came back from Kayla's office.

I picked up some test results.

>> Stefan: You're here. >> Gabby: I can be,

if you want me to. >> Stefan: You know I do.

>> Gabby: Then make it happen. Bring me home, Stefan.

>> Stefan: There is nothing that I would love more

than to bring you home so we can raise our daughter

together, but I am afraid... I'm afraid you're not real.

I'm afraid none of-- none of this is real,

and I've fallen for it. >> Gabby: Or...

maybe I fought my way out, and now I am just as real

as when we made love... and a baby.

>> Stefan: What if it wasn't you that I kissed at Bayview,

and A-Abigail's playing me? >> Ben: Who are you

talking to, Boss? >> Stefan: Just, uh, tell me

that you've completed the upgrades to security.

I'll be bringing my baby girl home tomorrow.

And there's a good chance I'll be bringing home

her mother as well.

>> Chad: Results for what? Is it something serious?

>> Gabi: I, um... I made an appointment with Kayla

to see if anything's changed. To see if I could

carry a child to term, but nothing's changed.

>> Chad: I'm sorry. >> Gabi: Me too.

Me too, but I'm-- I'm very lucky,

and I need to remember that. I mean, I'm still angry.

I have to admit that, but... I can't focus on the people

that did this to me. I can't focus on the child

that I don't--or can't have. I need to focus on the little

girl I do, this gorgeous, beautiful little girl

that I have in front of me, and the amazing life

that I have ahead of me. >> Chad: That's the brave woman

that I know. >> Gabi: [laughs] Thanks.

I, um--I'm very grateful to be alive.

I did lose a lot of my bravery in prison, though.

>> Chad: Well, what happened to you was an abomination.

Trauma like that... You have every right

to be angry. >> Gabi: Yeah.

I--I've just been trying to kind of deal with that anger.

>> Chad: Well, you know, with an attitude like that,

then, you know, I see nothing but good things.

>> Gabi: [chuckles] I hope so, yeah.

Hey, why don't we, um... why don't we go home

and have some dinner with Thomas and Ari and Sonny?

>> Chad: Yeah, I don't think Sonny's gonna want to see me.

And I don't blame him. >> Kate: I apologize, Sonny.

>> Sonny: Well, it's too damn late for that.

>> Kate: [sighs] I never meant for anything to get out of hand

like this. >> Sonny: Kate, you hired

an ex-prostitute to frame me for sexual harassment!

>> Kate: Vivian hired Leo. >> Sonny: To destroy me?

>> Kate: No, never you. >> Sonny: You do remember

I'm the father of your great-grandchild?

Or is this just how you treat family?

>> Kate: I'm ashamed, Sonny. I'm ashamed, and I want you both

to know that. >> Sonny: And why is that?

Because your big plan for revenge failed?

Titan's still standing. My Uncle Vic is still standing.

But me? I'm being blackmailed

for attempted murder by a man that I wish

I actually would have murdered. And what about your grandson

that you claim to love so much? You have jeopardized his future

and any chance at happiness. >> Kate: And I'll never

forgive myself for that. >> Sonny: My Uncle Vic always

said you were a monster, and I didn't believe it.

Hell, I even defended you. But he was right.

That's exactly what you are.

>> Eli: All right, well, this Dietrich is

as smart as they come. If I can just crack his code,

then we'll...

>> Rafe: What? >> Eli: "What?"

Dude, you're not here. >> Rafe: I'm right here.

I'm here, okay?

I'm not, so... >> Eli: Okay, well,

what's going on? Is it work, your lady?

>> Rafe: No, it's nothing. >> Eli: Dude, all this "nothing"

isn't gonna help me solve my case, so...

spit it out. >> Rafe: Hope and I, uh...

Something happened. >> Eli: What? Man, you didn't,

you know, cheat on her again? >> Rafe: What? No. No.

No, man, I-- what did I tell you?

I swore that I wouldn't do that. >> Eli: So what's going on?

>> Rafe: This time, it's, uh, my wife's who's lying to me.

[door opens]

>> Hope: Looks like you've really settled in here, huh?

>> Ted: A glass of wine, a little "Walden's Pond"...

"To my greatest skill is to want but little."

Not my style of reading, but interesting book.

Do you want a glass of wine? Maybe take the chill off?

>> Hope: I'm not here to socialize.

>> Ted: All right, suit yourself,

but I hate to drink alone. And you seem a little tense.

>> Hope: Okay. Maybe I could use a drink.

>> Ted: You know, you should spend some more time here.

At first I was a little stir-crazy, but I almost get it.

It's quiet. Peaceful. It may smooth all the edges.

>> Hope: Rafe found my ticket to the ferry.

>> Ted: How? Well, I'm sure you told him

a perfectly plausible story, right?

>> Hope: I looked him in the eye, and I lied.

I lied. I hate myself for it.

>> Ted: Then remind yourself that this is for the best

possible cause. >> Hope: I'm protecting

my daughter. >> Ben: Abigail's getting

released? >> Stefan: Maybe. It's up to me.

I had her committed, and apparently I can un-commit her.

>> Ben: So does this mean she's Gabby now?

Is that why she asked you to go to Bayview?

>> Stefan: I--I don't know. When I got the call,

I assumed it was Abigail who wanted to see me,

but yes, as a matter of fact, it was Gabby, I think.

>> Ben: That's good, right? >> Stefan: If it was real.

But you know, Abigail's desperate to get out

of there so she can be with Charlotte, so the whole thing

could have been an act. >> Ben: You couldn't tell?

>> Stefan: [stammers]

>> Gabi: Chad, no, you and Sonny are best friends.

>> Chad: Not anymore. >> Gabi: I'm sure whatever

this is, it'll blow over. >> Chad: No. I--I knew

that the sexual harassment claim was bogus, and I didn't

say anything. >> Gabi: Why?

>> Chad: Because I wanted the job at Titan.

And if I would have told Sonny, then...

he would have been exonerated and probably reinstated.

>> Gabi: Well, then you know that Kate was behind it.

>> Chad: How'd you know Kate was involved?

>> Gabi: I was with her earlier, and Will confronted her.

He was furious. >> Chad: Mm.

Well, wait until he gets his hands on me.

I'll be lucky if either of them ever speak to me again.

>> Gabi: Don't say that. You guys have been friends

for a very long time, and they're gonna understand

that you never meant to hurt them.

>> Chad: You don't get it. All I could think about

was revenge, and how much I hated Stefan.

So I sandbagged my-- my best friend.

Who does that? Who hurts people like that,

people who love them, and-- and trust them?

What kind of man does that make me?

I feel like I'm losing my soul, Gabi.

>> Kate: I know it's not an excuse that I was

in a terrible place, that my husband had been murdered,

that I had been kicked out of DiMera.

>> Sonny: It sure sounds like an excuse to me.

>> Kate: I was alone, and I saw Vivian's scheme

as a chance for me to take care of things, you know?

To establish a new power base so I wouldn't be hurt again,

so I wouldn't be thrown out again.

>> Sonny: So you decided to go after your grandson's husband?

>> Kate: Ex-husband. And, Sonny, I swear to you--

>> Sonny: What, it wasn't personal?

I've got it. You've blown up my life, Kate.

And now what, you want forgiveness?

>> Kate: No, forgiveness-- I don't deserve forgiveness.

>> Sonny: You're damn right you don't.

>> Will: That's why she's gonna come clean, right?

You're--you're gonna-- you're gonna tell the truth

about the lawsuit. You're gonna clear Sonny's name,

and you're gonna admit what you and Vivian did.

>> Kate: Well, yes, but are we sure that's what

we want to do? Because Leo is still going to go

for attempted murder charges. >> Sonny: So much for being

desperate to make amends. >> Kate: Sonny, I just want

to make sure that we do the right thing, that's all.

Because if I go public--I mean, that's career suicide, so...

>> Sonny: So what-- whatever happened to all that

remorse and guilt? Doing something for the good

of someone else instead of your own ego and bank account?

>> Will: Grandma... >> Kate: [sighs]

>> Will: I love you. But if you don't do this...

we're done. >> Kate: All right.

I understand. I'll do it.

A public announcement. >> Leo: Do you honestly think

that'll matter once these twinks are in prison?

>> Kate: Leo... >> Leo: Hiya, Boss Lady.

[dramatic music] ♪ ♪

>> Leo: I would like to say I missed you, Kate, but

that would be a lie. Looking terrific, though.

As always. >> Kate: Well, you still look

like a cheap suit to me. >> Leo: Whoa. If anyone should

be having bad feelings here, it's me.

We had a good thing going until you found a conscience

and screwed me out of my big payday.

But I am still getting everything I ever wanted,

right, Sonny? Although it's not official yet.

>> Sonny: You're not getting anything, Leo.

You heard Kate. She's going public, so it looks

like your little plan just fell apart.

So why don't you get the hell out of town?

>> Leo: Ugh, I love it when you play hardball.

>> Will: It's over, Leo. With Kate's statement,

everyone will know the truth about you.

>> Sonny: Including my Uncle Vic.

So if you keep making trouble, he will make you go away.

>> Leo: [scoffs] What is he gonna do, kill me?

Put a horse head in my bed? Or--lightbulb!

He throws us an amazing wedding. >> Sonny: We are not having

a wedding. >> Leo: Maybe your ex-husband

even walks you down the aisle. There's a moment.

>> Will: You're insane. >> Leo: I'm not the one

who tried to kill someone. >> Sonny: There's no proof.

>> Leo: That's where you're wrong.

>> Will: You're bluffing. >> Leo: Oh, I was hoping

you would say that. Shall we roll the tape?

>> Ben: Well, I do understand a bit about the whole

split personality stuff... and I definitely know what it's

like to want somebody so bad you'll believe just

about anything, even see things that aren't

really there. >> Stefan: [chuckles]

Gabby coming back to me is really all I want, and I just

don't want to get my hopes up. >> Ben: Been there too, man.

I have some serious feelings for someone, and it's been

a struggle for her, dealing with my past,

believing that I've changed. I think now she might see

the man that I am... actually give me a chance.

>> Stefan: I'm assuming, uh, you're talking about the girl

that you mentioned when you applied for the job,

when you were demanding a room under my roof as well?

>> Ben: I can't exactly take her to the homeless shelter,

right, Boss? >> Stefan: No, no,

I suppose not. >> Ben: And I do pay rent.

>> Stefan: Yes, you do. Good. I'm happy for you.

>> Ben: Thank you. She actually agreed to having

dinner with me tonight. >> Stefan: Good.

>> Ben: Which is why I was wondering if maybe I could have

the night off, if that's okay with you.

>> Stefan: [laughing] This--this guy.

He hasn't even done anything for me yet, and he wants

the night off. >> Ben: That's not true.

I have a lead on Ted Laurent. >> Stefan: Hmm.

Where is he? >> Ted: I really don't like

the idea of meeting Ben Weston in person.

>> Hope: That's too bad. Those are his terms.

Call him back and set up the meeting.

>> Ted: Where? >> Hope: I'll find

a neutral location. >> Ted: Hope, it--

it's too risky. >> Hope: Ted, no one else will

know about the meeting but you, me, and Ben.

There's no risk. >> Ted: This is Stefan DiMera

we're talking about. >> Hope: And you want to

survive him? You keep up your end

of the deal. >> Ted: I really wish there was

another way, just saying. >> Hope: Set the meeting

with Ben, and you get that confession,

or I will turn you over to Stefan myself.

>> Rafe: A ferry ticket to Smith Island fell out

of Hope's pocket... so I asked her about it,

and she claimed that she went to the Horton Cabin

to retrieve Abigail's locket. >> Eli: Abigail's locket?

>> Rafe: Mm-hmm. Yeah, apparently, she left it

there when she gave birth to Charlotte.

And according to Hope, Jennifer really wanted

to get it back for her. >> Eli: You don't buy it?

>> Rafe: Look, here's the thing. Right before you walked in,

I overheard Hope on the phone, saying, "I really hate lying

to my husband." >> Eli: Gotcha.

>> Rafe: Yeah. Exactly. >> Eli: Well, did you

confront Hope? >> Rafe: No, I--no, man,

I did not confront her, because I don't want to be

that kind of a husband. >> Eli: Well, except you are.

I mean, you were just about to follow her when I came in,

weren't you? >> Rafe: Yeah.

Damn it. I really hate doubting her.

>> Gabi: I know you, Chad. Okay? I know your soul.

There's good in it. >> Chad: Yeah, maybe there was.

But when I look in the mirror, I don't recognize the man I see.

Yeah, I--I mean, I always said that I wasn't gonna be

my father, somebody who just... used people and--and grinded

them into collateral damage just to get what--you know,

just to get what he wants. When Kate gave me this ring,

she told me to carry on Stefano's legacy.

You know, to--to be the man that I was meant to be,

to do it-- to do it my way.

But look what I've become. I screwed over my best friend.

I kidnapped Abigail. I watched as her child

got ripped from her arms. And I justified every bit

of agony. >> Gabi: Chad,

everyone makes mistakes. So yeah,

things have gotten a little far, but that doesn't make you

a horrible person. >> Chad: "Maybe" I went too far?

I sacrificed everything that I believe in.

My morals, my principles, and for what?

For power? Revenge?

I mean, the woman--the woman that I love most in the world,

the--the mother of my child doesn't even want to see me.

I've lost everything. >> Gabi: You haven't lost me.

[remote clicking] >> Leo: Crazy, huh? Ooh.

Definitely admissible in court. Think of the tabloid coverage.

>> Kate: Unbelievable. >> Leo: Sonny Kiriakis

in the living room with the mantel.

With an assist by Will Horton. Oh, should I pull up that

picture of sweet Aunt Maggie nearly catching you

with the rug, Will? >> Will: You bastard.

>> Sonny: This doesn't prove anything.

>> Leo: It sort of does. You murdered me

and wrapped me in a Persian rug. >> Will: How did you even

get these photos? >> Kate: It was Ted Laurent,

wasn't it? >> Ted: You can't back out

of our deal. I trusted you.

>> Hope: I don't trust you. But I'm willing to look

the other way if you give me what I want.

Unless, of course, you lied about being able to get

Ben's confession. Did you? >> Ted: No! No, no.

I can do this. I--I swear.

>> Hope: Then make the call.

>> Stefan: So where's Laurent? >> Ben: Well, I'm not sure

exactly, but-- >> Stefan: Ah, wrong answer,

Mr. Weston. >> Ben: But he called me.

He said he wanted to talk and that we have

unfinished business. I told him that if he wants

to talk, we do it in person or not at all.

He sounded a bit spooked, but he said he was gonna

get back to me. >> Stefan: I'm assuming he has

no idea you're working for me. >> Ben: No, of course not.

[phone rings] That's why he's about to

walk into a trap. [ringing continues]

Look at that, the man himself. Hello?

>> Ted: Ben? Ted Laurent.

Are you ready to sue the pants off of the Salem PD?

>> Ben: If you think it's worth a shot, Teddy.

>> Ted: Slam dunk. What I need to make it happen

is to get our facts straight, okay?

As I've said before, we could do your confession

on the phone. Over and done.

>> Hope: [whispering] No. In person.

>> Ben: I already told you, Ted. Salem PD is all over me.

I can't take the chance that the phones are tapped.

>> Ted: I can assure you... >> Ben: Or I can just hang up

right now, Ted. >> Ted: No. No, no.

No, don't do that. Um...we'll meet.

How's tonight? >> Ben: Well, I have plans

tonight, but... later should be fine.

>> Ted: Great. Well, I'll call you later

with a time and a location. >> Ben: I'll wait to hear

from you. [phone beeps]

[phone beeps, clicks shut] >> Ted: It's done.

>> Hope: Good.

>> Eli: You don't-- you don't think that Hope's,

you know... >> Rafe: Cheating on me?

No, man. No, no--no, no way, that's...

No, that's not who she is. >> Eli: Well, then,

what's going on? And who was she talking to?

More importantly, why was she lying?

>> Rafe: I'll tell you, my gut tells me it has something to do

with Ben Weston. >> Eli: Yeah, she--she is pretty

desperate to bury that slime behind bars.

I can see that. What, do you think Hope's

trying to remove Ben from Ciara's orbit, or...

>> Rafe: I don't know. But if she's doing this

behind my back... I'm worried how far

this obsession of hers will go.

>> Chad: If I were you, I would do yourself a favor. Run.

>> Gabi: No, Chad, I'm not going anywhere, okay?

We have survived crash-landing on a deserted island.

You saved my life when Deimos tried to poison me and Abigail.

You're a good man, Chad. >> Chad: Everything I touch

turns to blood and ashes. I'm drowning here, Gabi.

>> Gabi: Chad, you have something very precious,

very, very precious to hold on to, okay?

And I'm gonna remind you of that, something that you

and Abigail will always share.

>> Gabi: You know what you have to hold on to?

Your son. Maybe you can't help Abigail

right now... and I can't have any more kids.

But you have Thomas, and I have Arianna,

and that is what's gonna help us get through whatever lies ahead.

>> Chad: We took this picture at Halloween a couple years ago.

Right before the town was under siege.

DiMera had sponsored the, uh, book fair.

>> Gabi: Yeah. >> Chad: And I read to Ari.

>> Gabi: Actually, I have that picture right here.

You'd just lost Abigail, but you were still so kind

and loving to the kids. >> Chad: You were helping me

look for, uh, terra firma.

[chuckles] Uh, you've--

you've always been there for me when I didn't deserve it

or I hurt you, or... You've always been there.

>> Gabi: Chad, that's because I'm your friend.

I'm always gonna be your friend, and--and of course,

I'm gonna help you get through this.

Promise. >> Chad: It's gonna be hell.

A hell that this guy created. >> Gabi: Yeah, well, maybe hell

won't be so bad if we have each other.

>> Leo: Grandma Kate catches on quick.

Ted was in the thick of it. >> Will: He did hire a P.I.

to follow Leo that night. >> Leo: And what a blessing

that was. The private dick saw everything,

reported back to Ted, who tracked down my car,

popped the trunk, and found yours truly still alive.

>> Will: So that's how your car disappeared.

>> Leo: Gold star, Nancy Drew. Then I told him how

to hotwire it. Pretty butch, huh?

Ted said he had a plan, and he knew exactly how to play it.

>> Sonny: Blackmail us. That bastard.

>> Leo: He dropped me at the hospital, told me

he would take care of everything.

Only problem--Ted moved ahead without me,

was gonna score the entire prize for himself.

Wasn't quite the friend I thought he was.

>> Kate: So... where's your partner now?

>> Leo: Vanished into thin air. So I had to go solo.

[phone beeps] >> Hope: We have a location

for the meeting. >> Ted: I hope this place

is discreet, because if Stefan DiMera finds me in Salem,

I'm a dead man. >> Hope: I've got you

covered yet. Let's go.

>> Rafe: So Hope didn't stop by? You're not expecting her?

Okay. Thanks, Jennifer, uh... Guess we just got

our signals crossed. Bye.

>> Eli: Sorry, man. >> Rafe: Yeah, me too.

Cover for me? >> Eli: Hey, where are

you going? >> Rafe: Smith Island.

>> Eli: Is that where you think Hope went?

>> Rafe: It's a start. >> Eli: Hey, you--you know

you could give her a call before you head all the way

out there. >> Rafe: Right.

So she can lie to me again? No way.

>> Kate: You really are a piece of--

>> Leo: Work? Thank you. And you, screwing over

your grandson's ex-husband? You're one to talk.

>> Kate: I'm going to correct my mistake.

I'm going to clear Sonny's name. >> Leo: Go ahead.

Tell everyone he didn't sexually harass me.

Doesn't change the fact that he tried to kill me.

>> Will: Why don't you find some humanity and admit

that it was an accident? >> Leo: [sighs] Tomato, tomahto.

Look, there's one thing we can all agree upon here.

If Richie Rich says yes to marrying me, everyone

gets their happily ever after. Okay, so maybe just me.

You have a decision to make. And while you're deciding,

I'm gonna go pick out a tuxedo. Excuse me.

>> Kate: [sighs] I am so sorry.

>> Sonny: You caused this. >> Kate: You can't marry him.

>> Will: We need to figure out a way to neutralize Leo,

but how? >> Kate: I'm going to do

everything in my power to fix this, everything.

>> Will: No, no, you know what? Just...

just--just go.

I'm so sorry about this. >> Sonny: No, Will,

this is not your fault. >> Will: How could she do this

to you? And--and--and Leo...

We--we--we got to figure out some way to get rid of him.

>> Sonny: But he has pictures, Will.

You heard him. You know how they'll play this

in court. >> Will: No. No.

We--we can figure it out. We'll fight him.

>> Sonny: With what? I hate to admit it, Will,

but I think I'm gonna have to marry Leo Starke.

>> Rafe: Hope? Hope, are you here?

What the hell?

>> Ted: Well... not exactly three stars.

Or even one. >> Hope: It's perfect.

By the end of tonight, I'll have Ben exactly where

I want him. >> Ben: By tonight, you will

have Ted Laurent right where you want him.

>> Stefan: Just make it happen. >> Ben: Mm-hmm.

I will. You did hear the meeting

isn't until later. So about that time off

for dinner? >> Stefan: [laughs]

Why not? >> Ben: Thank you.

>> Stefan: Just don't be late for your job.

I want Mr. Ted Laurent at my front door

sooner than later. >> Ben: It's under control.

working out for you, huh? Imagine...

if you allowed yourself to trust in our love?

Imagine if you did what only you have the power to do.

We could be together forever.
