you two were there. >> Ciara: Unfortunately, yes.

Ted Laurent? No, because he's on

the other side now. You don't have money

I did to young William here. Next thing you know, he's going

promise? >> Eric: If he let you live,

that I swore that I would never come between Sarah and Rex.

That is what happened. He spared your life.

that promise for me, but I think what helped me

was great medical care. >> Eric: Forgive me, Mom.

I know you're a woman of science, but I am a man

of faith. And when I found out later,

at almost the very exact same time, you flatlined.

>> Marlena: I know. Kayla told me.

Honey, it's my belief that that was a coincidence.

>> Eric: Mom, I'm not naive. I believe in coincidences.

But I also believe that God listens,

so I cannot discount the possibility that my prayer

had something to do with your recovery.

And even if it didn't, I made a vow.

to cost you your happiness.

there's a drug cartel that wants her dead,

and she and her kids have targets on their backs,

and she is shacking up with Stefan DiMera,

of all people. >> Sarah: Why?

>> Brady: Because the snake somehow convinced her

that she would be safer with him than with me.

He's pretending to protect her because he wants to get her

in the sack, and it's-- it's a sick situation.

And she doesn't even know what she's getting into.

>> Sarah: Well, um... thank you for being honest

with me. I mean, now I understand why

you're on the attack all the time.

frustrated that Chloe's living with Stefan.

That's why you're taking it out on me and Eric.

It has nothing to do with us. >> Brady: Hold on.

Hold--no, it does have a lot to do with the both of you.

Sarah, I mean, Holly is your niece, and Nicole's

dying wish was that Eric protected Holly.

>> Sarah: I don't believe this. >> Brady: What do you mean?

What's not to believe, Sarah? Sarah, I was there.

I heard Nicole begging Eric to "make sure that you"--

"make sure you protect my little girl."

That's what she said to him. >> Sarah: That is not

what happened. >> Brady: That is what happened.

>> Sarah: No. Eric was set to become

Holly's guardian. And as soon as that letter,

the one from Nicole to Chloe stating what she wished

for her daughter, showed up, you were Team Chloe

all the way! You're the one that even planted

the idea that they go to court. But Eric didn't want to do that

to a little girl that had just lost her mother,

so he bowed out, and he gave Chloe full custody,

which is exactly what you wanted.

>> Brady: Opinions change, Sarah.

>> Sarah: Yeah, well, people don't,

especially not you. It broke Eric's heart

to let go of Holly, but he did it because he put

her needs in front of his own, which is the opposite

of what you're doing. You're being selfish

back to court. >> Eric: You can't be serious.

>> Brady: Of course I am. Don't you understand

that every single minute that Holly is in that DiMera

mansion, she's in danger? If you care about Nicole's

daughter, like I think you do, you will make this happen.

>> Eric: Listen to me. I told Chloe I would not

fight her for Holly. I don't want to fight her.

>> Brady: Then you better think of something else,

because if you don't, I will be forced to tell Rex

everything that's gone on between you and Sarah.

♪ ♪ >> Chloe: I know it's not

what you wanted to hear, but, Stefan, you have

to know how grateful I am for everything that you've done

for me and continue to do for me.

>> Stefan: It's my pleasure. The invitation to stay here

was without strings. You know that.

>> Chloe: So you really do understand why I can't think

of anything other than keeping my kids safe until

those thugs are behind bars. >> Stefan: I do, which is why

I'm going to step it up and make sure that happens

very soon. Enjoy your breakfast.

That fruit salad's all Harold, but the rose, that was me.

>> Ciara: Sorry I woke you. >> Ben: No.

It was nice, hearing you stick up for me with your mom.

>> Ciara: I love her, but, as I'm sure you know

by now, I make up my own mind. >> Ben: Mm.

Yeah, that, I do know. I still can't wait

to get the hell out of here. >> Ciara: No, no, not so fast.

You're staying right here. You need to rest and recover,

starting with taking your shoes and socks off

so you can actually lay down in this bed.

>> Ben: What? Ciara, you don't have to fuss

over me like this. >> Ciara: Oh, excuse me?

Excuse me, okay. When I had my motorcycle

accident, you set my leg. You made me the best pancakes

I have ever had. And you washed

my nasty-ass feet. So like it or not, Ben Weston,

I'm gonna fuss. >> Ben: Ciara, I'm serious.

You don't have to-- >> Ciara: No, stop it.

No excuses. You took amazing, amazing care

of me. Now it's my turn

to take care of you.

>> Sonny: All right, well, this should take care

of your headache. [ominous music]

Will! Oh, my God, Will.

Will! Will, can you hear me?
