>> Tripp: What's wrong?

>> Claire: These lyrics are not
working with the melody.

They're just, like,
fighting against each other.

You know?
>> Tripp: Well, here.

Let me see what you got.
>> Claire: What happened there?

>> Tripp: Uh, the chef
got me with some

hot grease in the kitchen.
>> Claire: Oh, my god.

Tripp, I've been saying
forever that guy is a threat

to everyone who works there.
>> Tripp: It was an accident.

Okay?
And Kayla's already

checked it out
and said I'll be fine.

And the cute nurse even
showed me how to

change the dressing myself.
>> Claire: Really?

What cute nurse?
>> JJ: You didn't have to

cook for me.
>> Haley: Oh, please.

You're letting me
crash at your place.

It's the least I can do.
>> JJ: Seems like

a lot of smoke to me.
>> Haley: You're an EMT,

not a fireman.
>> JJ: And you're a nurse,

not a chef.
>> Haley: Oops.

[smoke detector buzzing]
Oh, my god.

[buzzing continues]
>> JJ: [chuckles]

>> Ted: Well, hello.
This is a welcome surprise.

>> Hope: Yeah, well...
I am a bit surprised myself.

>> Ted: And why's that?
>> Hope: Because I just

saw you with Kate DiMera.

>> Gabi: Kate, hey, it's me.
Have you heard anything

from the DiMera board?
No, I need to know if the CEO

is going to be Chad or Stefan.
The future of Gabi Chic

depends on it...
and so does mine.

[phone beeps]
Hey.

Is Rafe around?
>> Eli: Your brother

took a leave.
He needed to get out

the country.
>> Gabi: The country?

Why?
>> Eli: To be there

for Sami's son.
Apparently he's

having a rough time.
>> Gabi: Johnny?

I mean, why didn't Rafe tell me?
>> Eli: I don't know.

Maybe he wasn't in the mood
to share after what you

did to Chad and Abigail.
>> Jennifer: Yeah, I want to run

the Melinda Trask
story overnight.

Ah, it should be
very interesting.

Yeah, call me later.
Thanks.

Oh, my goodness.
What is this?

>> Abigail: Oh.
>> Jennifer: Where did

this come from?
>> Abigail: I know.

It's so cute.
Chad actually got it

for Charlotte.
He's really trying

to win us over.
>> Jennifer: Is it working?

>> Stefan: What the hell
is taking so long for these

morons on the board
to make a decision?

>> Chad: Father always preached
patience.

>> Stefan: Patience
is overrated, if you ask me.

If they had any guts,
they would return me to my

rightful place as CEO of DiMera.
>> Chad: And if the company

had any integrity,
they would keep me on.

[phone beeps]

[phone beeps]

>> Stefan: Well, let's see
which of us is

right about that.

>> male announcer: Like sands
through the hourglass,

so are the "Days of Our Lives."

[soft orchestration]
♪ ♪

>> Jennifer: You know, you never
did tell me how it went

when you brought Charlotte
to see Chad.

>> Abigail: Uh...
When I got there, um...

Stefan was at Chad's house.
>> Jennifer: He was

living there?
With Chad?

>> Abigail: Yes.
For now.

It's temporary,
but it's--it's complicated.

>> Jennifer: Yeah,
it sounds complicated.

But how are you doing
with Chad?

I mean...
You still love him,

right, Abigail?
>> Abigail: Of course

I still love him.
I'm always gonna love him.

I just...
You know, I want peace

in my life.
And I want stability

for my kids.
And I don't know if I'm ever

gonna get that with Chad.
You know, especially now that

he's in this feud
with his brother.

>> Chad: "The Board of DiMera
Enterprises has decided

to keep you on as CEO
effective immediately."

I guess I don't have to
read any further.

>> Stefan: No, no.
Congra--

Congratulations.
You must've made a

very compelling case.
>> Chad: You're taking this

in stride.
You're not flipping

the chess board
or beating your chest.

>> Stefan: No. [stammers]
I think it's best to adopt

a civil tone.
>> Chad: That's big of you.

>> Stefan: Yeah, I mean,
especially if--if we're gonna

be working together.
>> Chad: Excuse me?

>> Stefan: You might want to
read the rest of this.

>> Chad: "The board has decided
that, in the interest of

stability, going forward,
you will be"--

>> Stefan: "Sharing
the position with your brother."

>> Chad: What does it say?
>> Stefan: Looks like the board

has decided to make us co-CEOs.

>> Gabi: He was probably
in a hurry when he was leaving.

He'll probably call me
when he gets there.

>> Eli: I'm sure he will.
>> Gabi: My brother loves me,

despite the mistakes I've made.
>> Eli: Mistakes?

>> Gabi: Yeah.
>> Eli: Is that what you call

drugging Abigail, making
everyone think she's crazy;

switching the paternity test
results?

>> Gabi: I am well aware
of what happened.

Thank you, Eli.
>> Eli: Not to mention what

you did to my grandma.
>> Gabi: I don't care what

Julie says; I did not push
that old bat down the stairs.

>> Eli: You're not
helping your case.

[phone beeps]
>> Gabi: Oh, no, no.

I am not gonna let him take it.
Can you tell Hope

to have Rafe call me?

>> Ted: You just saw me
with Kate, did you?

>> Hope: That's what I said.
Right here,

in the square,
not trying to hide it.

>> Ted: Sorry; I didn't
see you standing there.

>> Hope: Yeah.
I need to go.

>> Ted: Oh, hey, Hope.
>> Hope: What is it?

>> Ted: Just--I was wondering
why it bothered you.

>> Hope: Excuse me?
>> Ted: You seemed annoyed

by what you saw.
Do you have a problem

with me talking to Kate?

>> Hope: It's none of
my business

who you talk to.
But you did tell me

that Kate was the one who put
Stefan up to kidnapping you.

>> Ted: Oh, yeah.
She personally held me

at gunpoint and Stefan's goons
arrived and dragged me off.

>> Hope: [chuckles]
Then it should be pretty clear

why I'd be just a...
little confused

by seeing the two
of you together.

>> Ted: Kate and I have
a relationship.

It's very complicated.
>> Hope: Mm-hmm.

>> Ted: Kate and I
started as business associates,

but...
soon we became lovers.

>> Abigail: Chad and Stefan
are just locked in this duel

while they're waiting
for the board to

make its decision.
>> Jennifer: Right, and

meanwhile, they're both
living in the mansion?

>> Abigail: Yeah.
But I've made it very clear

to Chad that I do not want
either of the kids there under

the same roof as Stefan.
>> Jennifer: Yeah, and what did

he say about that?
>> Abigail: Well, he understood.

>> Jennifer: But he's not
willing to move out.

>> Abigail: No, not if it
means handing the house

over to his brother.
I don't think he's ever gonna

back down from this fight,
even if it costs him

me and the kids.
>> Chad: So how did

you pull this one off?
Dirt on one of

the board members?
>> Stefan: Well, why is it

so difficult to believe that
they might want me in this job?

>> Chad: They want both of us
in this job.

>> Stefan: Yeah, well, maybe
they think that

as co-CEOs we can, you know,
check each other's behavior,

projecting
an image of unity.

>> Chad: There's nothing united
about this family.

>> Stefan: Because you never
gave me a chance, Chad.

I tried reaching out a hand
to you long ago,

and you slapped it away.
>> Chad: If you're so unhappy

with the way you've
been treated,

why don't you walk away?
They're not forcing you

to stay here.
>> Stefan: You think I'm gonna

give up just like that?
>> Chad: Why not just crawl

under whatever rock Vivian
found you under?

Go back to being Sam Maitlin.
That's a hell of an identity.

>> Stefan: You'd certainly
love that, wouldn't you?

>> Chad: More than you know.
I mean, what's keeping you here?

There's nothing but misery.
You lost the woman you loved;

you lost your child.
Why not get away from

all that pain?
Walk away.

>> Haley: You look hungry.
>> JJ: I definitely worked up an

appetite trying to keep my
apartment from burning down.

>> Haley: Oh,
don't be so dramatic.

It was just a little smoke
from the oil.

>> JJ: Mm-hmm.
>> Haley: You act like I lit

your couch on fire.
>> JJ: Oh, excuse me if I don't

want to suffer third-degree
burns just to get some chicken

with linguine aioli.
>> Haley: At least I'd

know how to treat it.
In fact, just today, I took care

of a very handsome young guy who
got burned in the kitchen.

>> JJ: Excuse me.
Didn't anyone ever teach you

that it's bad manners
to talk about other guys

at the dinner table?
>> Haley: Sorry.

I meant to say that I took care
of a very

not so good-looking at all guy
for a kitchen burn.

>> JJ: Yeah,
You're not supposed to notice

when your patients
are good-looking anyway.

>> Haley: It was pretty obvious.
But he's Dr. Johnson's stepson.

I would never go there.
>> JJ: You mean Tripp?

>> Haley: You know him?
>> JJ: Yeah, he's my cousin.

His dad and my dad
are brothers.

And for the record,
I'm much better looking

than he is.
>> Claire: So tell me about this

cute nurse who treated you.
>> Tripp: Not much to tell.

Her name is Haley and
she's new at the hospital.

>> Claire: Hmm.
You interested in her?

>> Tripp: Interested?
>> Claire: Well, yeah.

You said she was attractive.
So...

you're gonna-- you gonna
get her number or something?

>> Tripp: [chuckles]
I mean, well,

she was treating my burn,
but I guess now that you

mention it, I could just
probably grab it from Kayla.

>> Claire: Okay.
So you're gonna

ask her out.
>> Tripp: I mean, now that

Ciara's out of town,
you know, it might be good

that I start
thinking about moving on.

What, you don't agree?
>> Claire: [laughs]

No, no.
Of course I agree.

I just, uh...
I thought that if you

were going to move on,
that it would be with me.

>> Claire: Tripp, I thought we
were getting close.

And I feel such
a connection to you.

And, you know, trust me.
I know I've tried to force that

in the past, but,
you know, lately I've just been

letting things happen.
And it just feels right.

I don't know.
Maybe it's just me.

>> Tripp: No.
No, it's not just you.

>> Claire: Okay, well, I can
tell you're holding back.

Why?
>> Tripp: You've been

a great friend to me, Claire.
But with you and I

living here
and Ciara living here, too,

I mean,
it could get really messy.

>> Claire: Oh, come on, Tripp.
Really?

We don't even know
if Ciara's coming back.

What if she falls in love
with South Africa

and what if she
decides to stay there with Theo?

Hmm?
>> Tripp: I guess

that's possible.
>> Claire: Look, I know I'm

talking about taking a chance,
but I mean, isn't that

what life is about?
Listen, I think we could have

something really good, Tripp.
We can't let Ciara

stand in our way.
>> JJ: Best linguine aioli

I've ever had.
>> Haley: Is it the only

linguine aioli
you've ever had?

>> JJ: Maybe.
It's still pretty damn good.

>> Haley: I'll take
the compliment.

>> JJ: The Italians
do know their food.

>> Haley: The Italians got
pasta from the Chinese.

And I got all my skills from
my mom.

>> JJ: You know, I, uh...
I don't know anything

about your family.
Tell me about your mom.

>> Haley: She was a mom.
Not much more to say.

I mean, certainly not
compared to your

dad's story.
>> JJ: Yeah.

>> Haley: So you guys met up
for beer?

You said you guys connected?
>> JJ: [sighs]

Yeah, we--
We did.

But it was--it's confusing.
It's like connecting

with a stranger.
>> Haley: What'd you guys

talk about?
>> JJ: Well, he did mention

that he was thinking about
running for mayor of Salem.

>> Haley: Mayor?
>> JJ: Yeah.

>> Haley: That's ambitious.
>> JJ: Yeah, he always was.

But, um...
Our talk was--our talk was good,

mostly.
>> Haley: Mostly?

>> JJ: Yeah.
It got a little awkward

when we started talking
about our love lives.

>> Haley: Oh, yeah?
Why?

>> Abigail: I may never be able
to forgive Gabi,

but I did make a conscious
decision to end the feud

between us.
You know, because I didn't

want that resentment
to take over my life.

And I realize that
I have too much to lose.

>> Jennifer: And that's--
You're afraid

Chad is doing that
with Stefan.

>> Abigail: It's all
he thinks about.

>> Jennifer: Well, I kind of
can't blame him, sweetie.

I mean, Stefan is
the main reason that

the two of you aren't together.
>> Abigail: Yeah,

but Chad's a DiMera.
>> Jennifer: Yes.

And revenge and DiMera
just goes hand in hand.

>> Abigail: I mean, he's tried
to resist that legacy,

but Stefan just opens up
all those old wounds.

And I'm afraid if he goes
down that path again,

he's not gonna be able
to turn back.

>> Chad: You have nothing
left here.

>> Stefan: Except
DiMera Enterprises.

>> Chad: It's just a company.
>> Stefan: Our family company.

>> Chad: You're not really
a part of the family anyway.

Father's gone; those of us
that are left

want nothing to do with you.
>> Stefan: [chuckles]

That--
That I believe.

>> Chad: Why stick around and
bang your head against the wall;

surround yourself with people
who really don't like you?

Even if you do take control
of the company,

it'll just be an empty victory.
>> Gabi: It's okay, Harold,

you don't need to
announce me.

What the hell?
>> Chad: What are you

doing here, Gabi?
>> Gabi: Well, I heard about

the board's decision.
So what does that mean for me?

>> Hope: You and Kate...
I don't know.

I just, I--
don't see the

two of you together.
That's all.

>> Ted: Well,
you'd be surprised.

Kate and I have
quite a bit in common.

>> Hope: Yeah, I just--
I find it--

I find it a bit curious that
you would continue

sleeping with someone
who had you kidnapped.

>> Ted: Kate and I are not
sleeping together anymore.

What you saw
was two people talking.

Kate made it very clear
that she and I are through.

>> Hope: Oh.
What?

>> Ted: I don't know.
To me,

you seem a little bit
relieved?

>> Hope: I am.
I'm relieved that

you and Kate
aren't together anymore.

>> Ted: Really...
>> Hope: Yeah,

she's dangerous.
>> Ted: I appreciate

your concern.
But for a split second,

I thought--
I thought you might be jealous.

>> Hope: You do have
a sense of humor.

Good to know.
I have no reason

to be jealous of Kate
or any other woman

you may try to work your
charms on, Counselor.

>> Ted: Okay.
Glad to hear it.

>> Hope: I'm a happily married
woman,

to an amazing man.
>> Ted: I haven't forgotten

that you're married.
I would have to take your word

on the "happily" part.
It's getting late.

I'm sure your amazing husband
is waiting for you at home.

>> Hope: Yeah, actually,
he's out of--

out of the country.
>> Ted: Well, in that case,

would you like to have
dinner with me tonight?

>> Chad: My position
hasn't changed.

I still want nothing to do
with you or Gabi Chic.

So you can keep your company.
>> Stefan: [chuckles]

Only that's not a decision
you can make, Chad,

without my approval.
>> Chad: You want to

hold onto it?
>> Stefan: Look, the Gabi Chic

brand is a valuable asset
for DiMera Enterprises.

I have big plans for it.
>> Gabi: Oh, yeah,

I know about your plans.
You want to destroy it

piece by piece.
>> Stefan: What I decide to do

with a company that I own
is none of your business.

>> Gabi: Gabi Chic
is my life's work.

Andre, he tried to steal it,
and you know

what happened to him.
>> Stefan: Gabi,

save the empty threats.
Abigail killed Andre, not you.

>> Gabi: Yeah, but you
made sure I went to prison

for that crime anyway.
Seems like I'm owed

a free murder.
>> Chad: You should

probably leave, Gabi.
>> Gabi: Don't tell me

what to do, Chad.
The two of you, you stand here

like you're gods,
like you've got all this power.

Well, someone
that used to love me

told me just now that I--
I'm not the person I used to be.

Well, that's good.
See, because this new person

she's not gonna be pushed around
by you or any other DiMera.

>> Abigail: It's just so hard
to say whether or not

I'm ever gonna be able to
really forgive Chad.

You know, I would need
to know that he's really,

truly trustworthy,
and he would need to

trust me again.
And ultimately,

I'd just need to know that--
that he's back to being

that man that
I first fell in love with.

>> Jennifer: I know the feeling.
>> Abigail: You miss Dad?

I mean, real Dad.
>> Jennifer: Yeah.

Almost as much
as when he was gone.

>> Abigail: Have they
made any progress

with getting his memory back?
>> Jennifer: Kayla came by

earlier,
and it doesn't look like

we're gonna be able to get
our hands on Dr. Rolf's serum.

>> Abigail: It's gone?
>> Jennifer: The serum

is tied up with the FDA,
and then Rolf's diary

with the original formula
has been misplaced.

>> Abigail: I still
believe in Dad.

I do.
I think that that man

is still there inside him.
And we all

just have to work together
to figure out a way

to bring him back.
>> JJ: [sighs, scoffs]

My dating history is...
It's complicated.

>> Haley: Uh-oh.
What does that mean?

>> JJ: Let's just--let's just--
let's just say I've

made some mistakes.
But I've grown up a lot.

And I've learned from them.
>> Haley: Come on.

Don't--
don't be all coy with me now.

Share.
Just one name.

One story.
And I promise if you give me

a good one, I won't
bug you for any more.

>> JJ: One name...
>> Haley: The worst one.

The biggest mistake
you ever made.

>> JJ: Okay, fine.
I slept with Eve Donovan.

>> Haley: Wait.
Are you talking about

that woman from--
that lady from New Year's Eve?

>> JJ: Yeah.
>> Haley: You slept

with that witch?
>> JJ: Yeah.

>> Haley: But now she's
involved with your dad.

>> JJ: Yep.
>> Haley: [scoffs]

This--this is good.
No wonder you said your love

life was an awkward topic
with your dad.

>> JJ: Yeah, it's...
not something I'm proud of.

>> Haley: Well,
I mean, Eve is a MILF.

She is a mom, right?
>> JJ: Yeah.

Her--
Her daughter was my girlfriend.

>> Haley: Wait. Wait, okay.
So you--you slept with

your girlfriend's mom...
Who's now

sleeping with your dad.
>> JJ: Look, I know

it sounds--
it sounds really--really shady

when you put it like that.
>> Haley: Is there a less

shady way to put it?
>> JJ: Like I said,

it's not something I'm proud of.
>> Haley: Well, I'm guessing

that was the end
of your relationship.

>> JJ: Yeah.
>> Haley: So, um...

where's her daughter now?
>> JJ: [sighs]

Paige is...
She's dead.

She was--she was--
She was killed

not long after we broke up.
>> Haley: Seriously?

I--
I am so sorry.

I was--
>> JJ: No, it's fine.

>> Haley: I was making jokes
and--

>> JJ: No, it's okay.
It's okay. You didn't know.

>> Haley: That is so awful.
How did it...

I mean...
>> JJ: I don't...

I don't really want to
talk about how she died.

I just--
I like to remember

her life instead.
>> Haley: Of course.

So...
what was she like?

How'd you guys meet?
>> JJ: We met when she--

she found my missing wallet.
She was a really good person.

Excellent musician, too.
She actually, uh,

she pushed me
into pursuing the guitar.

>> Haley: You play?
I thought that was just a prop

to make you look cool
for the ladies.

>> JJ: Did it work?
>> Haley: I don't know.

Why don't you play for me,
and I'll let you know?

>> Gabi: I know you didn't
offer Gabi Chic to me

out of the kindness
of your heart.

>> Chad: I did it for Ari.
And because I want you

out of my life.
>> Gabi: All right, so find

a way around Stefan.
Get Gabi Chic away from him.

>> Chad: Believe me, this isn't
the arrangement

that I wanted either.
I wanted to cement my place

as CEO and get rid
of Stefan for good,

but the Board had other plans.
>> Gabi: So, what,

you're gonna let him
destroy the business

I built with my hands?
>> Chad: Honestly,

I have more important things
to worry about.

>> Stefan: It's a tough
situation you're in there, Gabi.

I mean, you--you almost
got Gabi Chic back.

Instead, now you're forced to
stand by and watch helplessly

as I fly it nose-first
straight into the ground.

>> Gabi: I'm never gonna
let that happen.

>> Stefan: Well, there's really
nothing you can do to stop me.

There is one other option,
though.

I'm not sure if Chad
mentioned it to you.

>> Gabi: What are you
talking about?

>> Stefan: Well, Chad and I
are going to be

butting heads over DiMera
for quite some time.

But you're welcome to quit
any time you like.

>> Hope: I'm tired,
and I have a stack of paperwork

waiting for me at home.
And I also want to

FaceTime with my daughter
in South Africa before bed--

Oh, yeah, all that laundry
I have to catch up on.

>> Ted: Hope,
one excuse would've sufficed.

If you don't want to come to
dinner with me tonight,

just say so.
>> Hope: I don't want to

come to dinner with you tonight.
>> Ted: Fair enough.

But I just wanted to buy you
a meal to thank you

for protecting me
from Stefan DiMera.

>> Hope: I was just
doing my job, Ted.

>> Ted: No.
You went above and beyond.

I would not be standing here
today if it weren't for you.

>> Hope: You're welcome.
>> Ted: And I'm truly sorry

I couldn't get the goods
on Ben Weston.

Which is why I want to
try to take you out.

That way,
I could repay your kindness.

>> Hope: [sighs]
I'm busy.

I really have
a lot of work to do.

And that laundry.
>> Ted: Come on, Hope.

You could see that
my fragile ego could not bear

taking another blow tonight.
Please.

>> Hope: Let's go to
my dad's restaurant,

Doug's Place.
Have you heard of it?

>> Ted: No.
Whatever you want.

>> Claire: [laughs]
I cannot believe

that Ciara is keeping us
from having a relationship.

Wow.
Are you really still

that hung up on her?
>> Tripp: No.

No, no, no.
Ciara and I had our chance.

It didn't work out.
>> Claire: Oh, Tripp,

you gave her so many chances.
But she moved on,

first with Ben,
and now with Theo.

And we're here.
>> Tripp: We're here...

>> Claire: Tripp, I've--
I've felt a spark between us

from the moment I met you.
There were so many times

where I was just so sure
it was gonna happen for us.

But it never did,
because, you know,

the timing was never right.
>> Tripp: No, it wasn't.

>> Claire: We never really
got a chance to see

what we could be together.
>> Tripp: Now, what if

it doesn't work out?
What if it's a disaster

and we end up hating each other?
>> Claire: [chuckles]

Okay, well, what if it's amazing
and it changes our lives?

Tripp, it's kind of like
writing a song.

You never really know
if it's gonna work until

you put together the words...
and the music.

>> JJ: I'd rather not play
right now.

>> Haley: Well, I don't care
what you want to do.

I want to hear you play.
Come on.

What are you afraid of?
>> JJ: Nothing.

Well, I mean, clowns.
I'm terrified of clowns.

>> Haley: Stop making excuses
and play.

>> JJ: [laughs]
>> Ted: So tell me again--

again, why Rafe
left the country without you.

>> Hope: He said he needed to
be there for someone who

was going through a tough time.
>> Ted: You know,

in my line of work, you get
really good at knowing when

someone is not
being forthcoming.

>> Hope: Mine, too, Counselor.
>> Ted: Well,

I can see there is
a lot more going on with Rafe's

absence that you're telling.
>> Hope: Yeah, well, I'm just

telling you what he told me.
>> Ted: And yet you seem

very unhappy with his decision
to leave without you.

Okay.
Okay, I won't push.

>> Hope: The person in question
is Sami's son.

>> Ted: Sami Brady?
Rafe's ex-wife.

>> Hope: Yeah.
The one and only.

>> Ted: Now I understand.
So...

He left you to go help his ex.
Aren't you worried

that something will happen
between them?

I mean, she could try to--
try to seduce him again.

Right?
I don't get it.

I don't see how any man
could cheat on a woman like you.

I will never understand.
>> Stefan: I'm trying to

help you.
You've had a terrible year.

Don't you think it's time
to just pack it in?

>> Gabi: You really are a sad
excuse for a human being.

>> Stefan: Like you have
any ground to stand on

after what you did to me.
>> Gabi: Oh, what I did to you?

[sighs] No.
No, you have no idea

what I'm capable of,
you son of a bitch.

I am--I'm just getting started.
I'm never leaving Gabi Chic.

Actually, I'm gonna use it
as an opportunity

to make your life a living hell.
>> Stefan: Okay.

Well, since I'm only co-CEO,
it means I'll have

plenty of time
to do the same to you.

[knock at door]

>> Abigail: [clears throat]
Hi.

>> Chad: Hey, hey,
sorry for the late visit.

>> Abigail: It's fine,
but the kids are asleep.

>> Chad: [indistinct speech]
>> Abigail: Yeah.

>> Chad: Um...
I wanted to give you

the news in person.
>> Abigail: The board

made its decision?
>> Chad: Yeah, they named

Stefan and I co-CEOs.
>> Abigail: Co-CEO?

So that means that he's gonna
continue to live

in the house?
>> Chad: For now.

>> Abigail: Okay,
then I'm--I'm still gonna

have to insist that
if you want to see the kids,

you have to come here.
Because I'm not gonna have them

under the same roof as Stefan.
>> Chad: I know how hard it is

for you to be around him,
which is why I made

the decision that I--
that I made.

I'm gonna resign.

>> Claire: What?
What? What's wrong?

>> Tripp: Uh...
Maybe we should

take things slow, you know?
>> Claire: Sorry, slow, Tripp?

No, slow?
I've waited two years for this.

So how much slower can it go?
Right?

>> Tripp: That's a good point.

>> Ted: So what made you
agree to dinner?

It's because I
called you beautiful?

>> Hope: Don't flatter yourself.
>> Ted: I'm sorry.

I just say it like I see it.
But to be honest,

I am grateful,
grateful that you agreed

to come to dinner with me
tonight.

>> Hope: I'm glad I did, too.
>> Eli: Hey, Commissioner.

>> Hope: Hey, Detective.
Oh, you know Ted Laurent.

>> Eli: Counselor.
You two having a nice dinner?

>> Hope: We had work to discuss.
>> Eli: Gotcha.

Well, I came to see Julie,
but I'm glad I bumped into you.

I got some good news.
Melinda Trask, she just resigned

from her post as D.A.
>> Hope: What?

Are you kidding me?
Oh, my god.

This is amazing.
>> Ted: Congratulations, guys.

I know that this woman has been
a thorn in your side

for a long time.
>> Hope: Yes, she has.

I hope this time
that Abe appoints someone

that I can actually work with
and have a good

relationship with.
>> Abigail: Resign?

You're gonna--
So you're gonna give up

the house and the job
and everything?

>> Chad: None of it means
anything

if you're not a part of it.
Mind if I go check in

on Thomas and Charlotte?
>> Abigail: Yeah, sure.

Yeah.

>> Gabi: You think losing Gabby
and Charlotte hurt?

I can do so much more
to hurt you.

When I'm done with you,
you're gonna beg me to take

my company back and go.
>> Stefan: Or maybe I can

decide to send you back to
prison for another murder

that you didn't commit.
>> Gabi: Don't underestimate me,

Stefan.
See, I had Abigail locked up,

and she was my best friend.
Imagine what I'm gonna do

to my worst enemy.
>> Stefan: Bring it on.
