>> Chloe: Hey. >> Stefan: Hey.

>> Chloe: You all right? >> Stefan: Yeah, I'm just, uh...

caught me thinking about Charlotte, so...

>> Chloe: Huh. You really miss her.

>> Stefan: Yeah, I was imagining, you know, what it

would be like to share what you and I just shared with Holly,

with Charlotte. >> Chloe: I know it still hurts

that Charlotte isn't yours. >> Stefan: I think it always

will.

>> Gabi: Why are you so worked up about Chloe living with

Stefan? Are you trying to get back with

her? >> Brady: No--that--listen.

The point--the point is that she is in danger. Okay, the point is

the longer she is with Stefan, the more likely she is to get

hurt. That's my concern. >> Gabi: I can't argue with

that. >> Brady: So will you help me

get her the hell out of there? >> Gabi: That depends...

on what's in it for me. >> Victor: You know, even--

all the things that you've done to me, why would I even consider

hiring you at Titan again? >> Kate: Given our past,

you need to hear me out. >> Victor: Given our past, I

should have security haul you out of here the minute you sat

down. [elevator bell dings]

>> Maggie: Rex. >> Rex: Maggie.

Hi. So nice to see you. >> Maggie: Hi.

Good to see you. I came by to check on Will.

How's he doing? >> Rex: I just put him through

some more tests, so it's gonna be a while before we know

anything. >> Maggie: Oh, good.

That'll give you and me plenty of time to talk about my

daughter. >> Eric: My dad told me you

accepted Rex's proposal. >> Sarah: I am an engaged woman

again. >> Eric: Congratulations.

Rex--he must be thrilled. >> Sarah: He is. He is.

He was carrying the ring with him for weeks, so.

>> Eric: And you? >> Sarah: What do you mean?

>> Eric: Well, it's just, the last time that we spoke, you

were still very much on the fence.

What changed? >> Sarah: Why do you care?

It's not like you have feelings for me, right?

>> male announcer: Like sands through the hourglass,

so are the "Days of Our Lives."

[soft orchestration]

>> Eric: Of course I care. You're my friend.

>> Sarah: You don't approve of me accepting Rex's proposal.

>> Eric: No, I just know you were, you know, having trouble

trusting him, with good reason. >> Sarah: I wouldn't have put

this ring back on my finger if I didn't believe that Rex was

committed to being with only me. >> Eric: Are you willing to

forgive him for his mistakes? >> Sarah: What kind of person

would I be if held them against him forever?

>> Eric: Forgiveness is important.

No one knows that better than me.

>> Sarah: I have forgiven him. And I'm ready to move ahead and

to let go of...things that have gotten in our way.

>> Eric: Sorry... if I sent you mixed signals...

about us. >> Sarah: No, no. You--you--

You did nothing wrong. I imagined that there was

something between us that there was never really there.

And that's on me. >> Eric: Not entirely.

>> Maggie: I understand the wedding is on. You must be very

happy about that. >> Rex: I am, yeah.

I get the feeling that you are not.

>> Maggie: Picked up on that, did you?

>> Rex: Mm, yeah. >> Maggie: Mm.

You cheated on my daughter on numerous occasions--

once with her sister. >> Rex: Maggie, I have done some

terrible things, yes. >> Maggie: That we can agree.

But you see I've--I've tried to keep my hands off on this

relationship, but there's been something that's been eating at

me all this time. >> Rex: I completely understand.

>> Maggie: Well, I hope you do. Because you're a parent now,

Rex, and as a parent, it is your responsibility to

look out for your daughter, whether she's 2 or 32.

And I just can't stand the idea that my daughter is marrying a

serial cheater.

>> Chloe: I told you we can't do this right now.

>> Stefan: We're both feeling something here.

>> Chloe: I-I just can't think about being with anyone until

the people who are trying to kill me are locked away.

>> Eli: Hopefully we're a step closer to making that happen.

>> Brady: The guy put you through hell, Gabi.

If I were you, I'd be obsessed with getting revenge on him.

>> Gabi: Oh, I have been. Believe me.

>> Brady: So...have you given up?

>> Gabi: No. Hell no. I want him to suffer as much as

he's made me suffer. That's why I took Charlotte away

from him. >> Brady: All right.

Well, let's not stop there. Let's take Chloe away from him

too. >> Gabi: Brady, w--they're not

even together yet. I mean, if I take her away,

that's just gonna scratch the surface, and that's not gonna do

anything. So unless you have a plan to

bury Stefan, then we don't really have anything to talk

about, right? Okay.

>> Brady: Hold up. Hold up. Hold on, hold on, hold on.

I do have a plan. And it's to hit Stefan...

exactly where it hurts the most.

>> Kate: Sometimes you are your own worst enemy, Victor.

>> Victor: Worst? Huh. I've had some pretty nasty

enemies. >> Kate: Really?

Do you consider me one? >> Victor: I'd be a fool not to

after all the times you tried to take me down.

>> Kate: It was just business. >> Victor: Oh, really, Kate?

Is it ever just business with you?

>> Kate: Actually, this time you're right. It's very

personal. >> Victor: Well, then, I want

nothing to do with it. Will you please just move along

so I can enjoy the rest of my day?

>> Kate: [sighs] You are a stubborn mule.

If you just swallow your pride for one minute, you would see

that you need me a hell of a lot more than I need you.

>> Stefan: You have a new lead on the cartel?

>> Lani: We had an informant ID a couple of suspects who were

linked to the shootings. >> Chloe: They're here in town?

>> Eli: They were. But you already knew that,

didn't you, Stefan? The informant gave that

information to your chief of security, Ben Weston...

yesterday. >> Lani: It would have been nice

if you shared that with us. >> Chloe: Stefan, did you know

about this? >> Eli: You do know that we're

all trying to find the people that shot at Chloe, right?

>> Stefan: Never had much reason to trust Salem PD.

>> Lani: Are you saying you don't want our help?

>> Chloe: Stefan, please work with the police. The cartel's

after me and my family. We need all the help we can get.

>> Gabi: You have a plan to bury Stefan?

>> Brady: Mm-hmm. >> Gabi: Okay, let's hear it.

>> Brady: Ever since he's come to Salem, there's been one thing

that he's wanted--one thing-- and that's a family.

>> Gabi: Yeah, orphan, blah-blah-blah, unloved, you

know, all that, whatever. >> Brady: And he tried to make

it happen with Gabby with a Y, didn't he?

>> Gabi: Yeah, but he couldn't because she's not real.

>> Brady: Exactly. So now he wants to do it with

Chloe. >> Gabi: You really think he's

that invested already? >> Brady: Did you see how fast

he moved Chloe and her kids into his house? Who the hell does

that, Gabi? >> Gabi: Someone that doesn't

like to be alone. >> Brady: Yes.

>> Gabi: And desperately wants a real connection with another

person. >> Brady: Exactly, Gabi.

Desperate. The man is desperate. He wants to have someone that

loves him and cares about him, instead of someone that sees him

as a soulless monster. >> Gabi: Mm.

That almost would be sad, except he is a soulless monster.

>> Brady: I agree. Think about it.

He lost Charlotte. He lost Abigail. The one thing he hasn't

lost in the world is his desire to have that family.

Don't underestimate the pain that he's gonna feel if we rip

Chloe and those kids away from him.

>> Eric: You know, you and I, we spent a lot of time together

after Nicole died. You were--you were my lifeline.

>> Sarah: And you were mine when I found out Rex had cheated,

which is pretty much the worst time in my life.

>> Eric: Yeah, it made me mad just to think that he'd even

look at another woman when he had you.

>> Sarah: Well, now he knows how it feels.

>> Eric: Yeah, I'd say he was pretty mad when he found out

about that kiss. >> Sarah: Yeah, he was mad at

you. When he and I were alone, it...he just seemed hurt.

And sad. I mean, he told me that

he'd--he'd wait as long as it took for me to be sure that I

wanted to be with him. >> Eric: Yeah, well, he didn't

have to wait very long. >> Sarah: No.

Actually, surprised myself when I said yes.

>> Eric: You did? >> Sarah: Yeah, it just--

it felt like the right thing to do.

And when I realized that...

whatever I was feeling for you wasn't being returned and that

we were never gonna... Just saw things clearly in that

moment. >> Eric: And that's why you

accepted his proposal? >> Sarah: Rex loves me, Eric.

I'm not sure I'll ever meet anyone who loves me as much.

>> Rex: Maggie, I completely understand that you

want what's best for your daughter, but you do know that

she forgave me, right? >> Maggie: Yeah, that's what she

tells me. >> Rex: Okay, and I hope that

you can do the same, 'cause I can promise you--as I promised

her--I will never betray her again.

>> Maggie: I want to believe that.

But from experience, people don't change all that much.

>> Rex: You married Victor. Obviously, you think he's

changed. >> Maggie: He isn't perfect.

>> Rex: Who is, Maggie? I'm not perfect.

Sarah's not perfect. We've both done things that have

hurt each other. >> Maggie: Oh.

You mean because of the tryst with Xander.

>> Rex: All I'm saying is that people make mistakes.

>> Maggie: Rex, let's be clear: you two weren't together when

that happened. And for you to compare what she

did to what you did to her... >> Rex: What about Eric?

You know she kissed Eric? >> Maggie: I'm aware my daughter

has wrestled with her feelings for Eric.

>> Rex: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Feelings?

Sarah told me that it was a crush.

What did she tell you?

>> Victor: So you want me to believe that you're looking out

for my best interest? >> Kate: I can help you make

Titan great again. >> Victor: Says the woman who

instigated a fraudulent lawsuit that almost burned the whole

thing down. >> Kate: Oh, please.

Come on. It's ancient history. >> Victor: Come on, Kate.

It's your old pal Victor. Why Titan?

Surely it can't be purely nostalgia.

>> Kate: You really wanna know, old pal?

It's the best way to take down DiMera and crush Stefan.

>> Stefan: Let's see what you got on this new lead.

>> Eli: We brought some photos for Chloe to take a look at.

>> Chloe: I told you, I didn't see who shot at us.

>> Lani: We know, but maybe you've seen these guys around

the club watching you. >> Chloe: Okay.

No. No.

No. Wait.

I... >> Stefan: You recognize him?

>> Chloe: Yeah, I think this guy looks familiar.

>> Eli: What about him? >> Chloe: Oh, my God. Yes. Yes.

I think I've seen these guys. >> Brady: Do I have your

attention now? >> Gabi: You do.

>> Brady: Good. 'Cause we have to move on this

fast. I think he's still raw from losing Charlotte.

If he lost Chloe right now, I think he wouldn't be able to

handle it. >> Gabi: Okay, all right, but

you know he's not gonna let her go without a fight.

>> Brady: I know. Which is where you come in.

>> Gabi: How? What--what could I do to come

between Stefan and Chloe? >> Brady: Seduce him.

>> Rex: Maggie, what did Sarah tell you about her feelings for

Eric? >> Maggie: Well, that's not for

me to say. Ask Sarah.

>> Rex: I already did. Look, you can't just drop a bomb

on me like this and expect me to let it go.

>> Maggie: Well, it's not for me to say.

>> Rex: She said that she kissed

him. She admitted to that. But she said it was nothing.

It didn't mean anything. We're supposed to be married

soon. If you know something different,

Maggie, please, you gotta tell me now.

>> Sarah: I know it feels like I'm rushing into this

marriage-- rushing in like I always do.

>> Eric: As long as it's what you want.

>> Sarah: What I want. >> Eric: Did you tell your

mother? >> Sarah: Yeah.

>> Eric: How does she feel about the wedding being back on?

>> Sarah: She... has her concerns.

She's worried that Rex will hurt me again.

Are you? >> Eric: This is your life,

Sarah. I mean, if... it's Rex who you want to spend

it with, then nobody should stand in your

way. >> Sarah: You're happy for me?

>> Eric: I'm happy for you... if you're happy.

[laughs] Of course I'm happy for you.

>> Sarah: You have no idea how much that means to me.

[tender music]

>> Maggie: Eric was supportive of Sarah when she found out

that you had cheated on her. And she was there to help him

out when...when he was dealing with Nicole's death

by caring for Holly. >> Rex: I know this.

I understand all this. And I'm happy--I'm glad that

they were there for each other, to help each other through dark

times. >> Maggie: They have a nice

connection. >> Rex: Yeah, they do.

>> Maggie: Sarah can trust him. >> Rex: And she can't trust me?

>> Maggie: I'm not sure she can. >> Rex: What about when Eric

went behind Brady's back with Nicole?

>> Maggie: That was different. >> Rex: Oh, God. Really? How?

Maggie, you of all people, supporting Eric when he was

responsible for your son's death?

>> Maggie: I forgave him for that.

>> Rex: Oh, my--come on. So you forgave Eric for

literally killing your son, but you can't forgive me for

cheating on your daughter? >> Maggie: Being angry with Eric

won't bring my son, Daniel, back.

But this is happening now, and I can't be sure that you

won't hurt my daughter again.

>> Eric: So is Rex okay, knowing about the kiss?

>> Sarah: He understands that it didn't mean anything.

>> Eric: I told Brady that Rex knows.

>> Sarah: Oh, good. Now he can't hold that over your

head or force you to help him get Chloe away from Stefan.

>> Eric: Yeah, well, I have you to thank for that.

>> Sarah: Sure. How did Brady take it?

>> Eric: He wasn't happy. Put a real guilt trip on me.

Said if anything was to happen to Holly while living in

Stefan's house, it would be my fault.

>> Sarah: Do you think that she's safe?

>> Eric: Chloe's a good mother. I know that she would never put

Holly in harm's way. But Stefan DiMera--

>> Sarah: He's bad news. >> Eric: I mean, what if

something did happen? You know, Brady's right.

I would never... be able to live with myself.

>> Victor: Now, there's the Kate that I know...

and don't particularly like. >> Kate: You want to dismantle

DiMera just as much as I do. >> Victor: Mm, probably more so.

>> Kate: Okay, what's with the hesitation, then?

>> Victor: Well, I want to best Stefan DiMera...

but then, I want to best all my competitors.

>> Kate: So? >> Victor: So with you, this is

all purely personal, and I'm not sure I want to get

caught up in it. >> Kate: [sighs] Sounds like

you're afraid of a personal grudge, I don't know.

Sounds like you're scared, Victor.

>> Lani: You've definitely seen these men?

>> Chloe: Yeah, I've definitely seen them at the club.

>> Stefan: So you'll bring them in for questioning, then?

>> Lani: Yesterday we might have.

>> Chloe: Yesterday? >> Eli: According to our

informant, they have already left Salem.

They're out of our jurisdiction. >> Stefan: I don't care about

jurisdiction; I care about keeping these people off the

streets. >> Eli: Well, unlike you,

we have to follow the laws. And if you and Ben Weston would

have shared that information yesterday, we'd have these

people in custody already. >> Stefan: Oh, so you're gonna

blame the incompetence of the Salem PD on me?

How about you two do your jobs and keep killers from walking

around? >> Eli: We're doing everything

we can. >> Stefan: You know what?

Get out of my house. I can handle this on my own.

>> Chloe: Stefan, stop. >> Stefan: No, no, no.

We don't need them. >> Chloe: Please.

These men have threatened my children.

Please do whatever you can. >> Lani: We will.

I promise. We'll be in touch with updates.

>> Chloe: Thank you.

[tense music]

What the hell are you doing? Are you trying to get me killed?

>> Gabi: You want me to seduce Stefan?

>> Brady: What, you don't think you could pull it off?

[powerful music]

>> Gabi: G--The guy disgusts me. Okay, I can't even be close to

him--ugh! >> Brady: Gabi, hold on.

>> Gabi: No, no, no, no. >> Brady: Hear me out.

Hear me out. >> Gabi: Brady, it's a no.

>> Brady: You've already told me that you're not interested in

feeding any more inside information on the guy to me,

all right? >> Gabi: He's suspicious of me

already. >> Brady: I understand that.

What if... you controlled DiMera?

And then you wouldn't have to worry about it.

You would also have complete control over Gabi Chic.

>> Gabi: Hold on a second. Wait a minute. Wait.

How did this go from I'm seducing Stefan to now I'm

controlling DiMera? >> Brady: It's very simple.

Step one: you seduce him. Step two: you marry him.

Step three: you take him for everything he's got.

You take his business. You take his money.

You take his heart. And once you have all those

things in your hands, we burn his ass to the ground.

>> Victor: Believe me, I'm not afraid of Stefano DiMera's

bastard son. >> Kate: Then why not join the

fight? >> Victor: What's your main

gripe in this, anyway? >> Kate: Stefan DiMera is a

blight on Salem. And it's not going to end until

someone puts a stop to him. So what do you say we team up

and give him a lesson in respect?

>> Chloe: The police are trying to protect me.

>> Stefan: The police are worthless.

They don't help people like us. Chloe, when you moved in here, I

promised you that I would do everything in my power to keep

you safe, and I hope you still feel like I'm following through

on that. >> Chloe: I do, but I also feel

like you're frustrated because I can't give you what you really

want. >> Stefan: Do I want something

more than friendship? Yes. Chloe,

I can make this better for you. Just like you can make it better

for me. We would be so good together.

>> Gabi: You know you sound crazy, right?

I'm supposed to just-- I'm supposed to seduce Stefan,

and then he's gonna ask me to marry him?

>> Brady: Gabi, the man has been a pariah since

he came to town, okay? He has no friends.

He's lonely. The only woman that's shown him

any attention was a glitch in Abigail's brain.

And he fell madly in love with that.

Trust me. You show him a little bit of

tenderness, make him feel a little special,

he's gonna be putty in your arms.

>> Gabi: You really think it's that easy?

>> Brady: Yeah, I do. I do.

I think if you find a time to just spontaneously kiss him or

something, it'll happen. >> Gabi: [inhales sharply]

>> Brady: What? >> Gabi: Well, Brady, I, uh--

I already kissed him. >> Brady: What?

>> Gabi: Yep. Shocked the hell out of him.

>> Brady: We-- Hold on a second.

I thought you two hated each other.

>> Gabi: Well, it was a-- it was a hate kiss.

>> Brady: It was a hate ki-- >> Gabi: Mm-hmm.

>> Brady: Hate kiss. How did he respond to your hate

kiss? >> Gabi: Well, after he got over

the shock, he said it did nothing for him, but I know he

was lying. >> Brady: Ah.

He was into it, wasn't he? >> Gabi: What can I say?

I'm a good kisser. >> Brady: Good for you.

This is perfect. Do you understand how perfect

this is? You've already laid the seeds.

All you have to do is let him know how much that his kiss

affected you. Can you do that?

>> Gabi: You forgot what I just told you. I hate him.

I-I think he's a disgusting human being.

>> Brady: You know what, Gabi? I do too.

But you have to look at the good side. You know,

he's got this brooding thing going on. He has money; he has

power. You know, look at those things.

>> Gabi: What are you suggesting?

>> Brady: I think what I'm suggesting is, you probably

wouldn't have kissed him if there wasn't...

A little bit of you that wanted to.

>> Eric: You know, I think about Nicole's last words, and there's

this part of me that just wants to break into the DiMera

mansion, grab Holly, and run. >> Sarah: I don't blame you.

>> Eric: Yeah, but when I see Holly and how happy she is with

Chloe and Parker, I just think I did the right thing.

>> Sarah: Yeah. I did notice that when they

visit, she has finally stopped asking where her mom is.

>> Eric: It breaks my heart. You know, but I'm glad she's

adjusting. >> Sarah: I will never let her

forget who her mother is, you know, but it--

right now she needs stability. >> Eric: So you think I'm right

by not being in the middle of it?

>> Sarah: I do. Not that my opinion means

anything. >> Eric: Hey. No, no.

Don't say that. What you think means a lot.

Sarah, you will always be important to me.

>> Rex: Maggie, with all due respect, it doesn't matter what

you think. Sarah has accepted my proposal.

>> Maggie: Have you asked yourself why--why now?

>> Rex: Because she's forgiven me. She's trusting me again.

>> Maggie: And you're not the least little bit concerned that

it's related to Eric? >> Rex: No, because there's

nothing going on between them. Sarah accepted my proposal

because she wants to share a life with me.

>> Maggie: I hope that's true. 'Cause I would hate to think

that she was only getting married to get over someone

else. And if I were you, I wouldn't want that either.

>> Kate: Victor, come on. You know that I could go

anywhere with this offer, and I would think that you would have

learned by now that it's better to have me working with you than

against you. >> Victor: Well, sometimes it's

too hard to tell the difference. >> Kate: Really?

I mean, really? Have you forgotten what a great

team we made? The company was the strongest

it's ever been. The power was intoxicating.

>> Victor: I haven't forgotten. >> Kate: I know that we've

clashed over the years. But we clash so often for the

same reason that we were such a great team together.

Because we both have the same killer instinct.

And I really hate to say it, but you have lost your edge

these past few years. You lost it when you married

Maggie.

>> Rex: [laughs] You really don't want me to

marry Sarah, do you? >> Maggie: What I want is for my

daughter to be happy. And I have serious doubts that

you're the man for the job. >> Rex: Oh, but Eric is the man

for the job? >> Maggie: I didn't say that,

but I'm worried that she's rushing into something with you

to avoid her attraction to Eric. >> Rex: Oh, God, I'm not--

I'm not gonna do this anymore. I love Sarah.

Eric does not love Sarah. In fact, he said that to her

face. Now, excuse me.

I'm off shift right now. I haven't eaten a damn thing all

day. >> Maggie: Isn't it possible

Eric wasn't telling Sarah the truth when he said he didn't

care? >> Rex: And why the hell would

he do that? >> Maggie: Because he didn't

want to hurt you. I'll be back to check on Will

later.

>> Chloe: I can see how much you want to be with me, and it's

flattering. >> Stefan: This is more than

just physical. Chloe, you are special.

And you know I've already bonded with Holly.

I see so much of myself in her, orphaned at such a young age.

All I want to do is provide her with love and safety.

And the same goes for Parker. >> Chloe: And I love seeing how

good you've been with the kids, and it's been so great for them

too. >> Stefan: Look, I'm not trying

to pressure you. I'm just trying to be honest

about my feelings. I think we could be really good

together. >> Chloe: And I promise you that

we will talk about this once those men are caught.

>> Stefan: And they will be. I'll call Ben.

And as soon as that happens, we can start to build a life

together.

[soft music]

>> Gabi: I am not attracted to Stefan.

>> Brady: It's fine. Doesn't matter.

It's irrelevant anyway. I'm not here to make a love

connection. What matters is that he is into

you. >> Gabi: All right.

Let's just say he's into me. Let's just say I do get him into

bed. Why would he marry me?

>> Brady: Because he wants a wife and kids so badly.

He has fixated on the idea, and you and Ari are an instant

family for him. This is gonna work.

So get on in there and do it. Make him fall for you.

>> Gabi: It's very easy for you to say.

You're not the one that has to get him into bed.

>> Brady: I think that if you thought this was a bad idea and

couldn't possibly work, you would have walked away a while

ago, and yet you are still here. Go get him, Tiger.

>> Eric: Thank you. >> Sarah: For what?

>> Eric: Being my sounding board, my friend.

>> Sarah: Any time. You know, just 'cause I'm

marrying your brother doesn't mean that I can't still be here

for you. >> Eric: Back at you.

>> Sarah: You know, when we were comforting Holly after you'd

lost Nicole, it meant a lot to me.

The world felt like a dark place, and seeing you--how

loving and caring you were in the midst of all that struggle,

it just gave me hope. >> Eric: I was having trouble

finding hope for myself. >> Sarah: But you did find it.

You're a good influence on me, Eric Brady.

>> Eric: [laughs] I don't know about that.

>> Sarah: Come on. You are. You...when I bounce off the

walls and act on pure impulse, like when I went off on that

poor couple here in the pub, you're always there to slow me

down and remind me about what's important.

I wanna be more like you. >> Eric: Oh, stop it.

Stop, 'cause you're perfect just the way you are.

>> Sarah: Thank you for saying that.

>> Eric: I mean it. I wouldn't change a thing.

[door slams shut]

>> Rex: Am I interrupting?

>> Victor: Marrying Maggie did not cost me my edge.

>> Kate: How many times has she demanded that you back off from

being a tough and ruthless man? >> Victor: Maggie and I have an

understanding. >> Kate: Yeah, the understanding

is that you are not who you really are, and how does she

reward you for that? Giving you a cup of tea

and a homemade muffin? >> Victor: Don't talk about

Maggie that way. >> Kate: Okay.

All right. That's fine. I'm sure you and Maggie have a

lovely life, but I know you miss the game.

And I know you miss winning. And if the two of us team up

again, it will be just like the old days, and we will crush our

enemies into dust, and the rest of the world will tremble

in fear. Oh, look who's here.

>> Maggie: Hello, Kate. >> Kate: So why don't you think

about what I've said. Take good care of him, Maggie.

>> Maggie: Oh, I will. What was that all about?

You know what? I don't even care.

How about we, um, grab a cup of tea or something else?

>> Eli: You hungry? We can get something at the

>> Lani: No.

I'm okay. >> Eli: What's up?

>> Lani: I just--I keep thinking about Chloe and what she's going

through, how--how worried she is about her kids.

>> Eli: It's a scary situation. >> Lani: I still feel it,

that overprotectiveness that only comes from being a mother.

And even though David Abraham isn't here with us,

um, in my heart I'm always his mom.

>> Eli: And you'll always be his mom...

forever. >> Lani: I miss him, Eli.

Some days more than others. I'll always miss him.

>> Eli: I miss him too.

>> Brady: Hey. That security detail out there,

is that for you? >> Chloe: Mm-hmm.

Stefan's committed to keeping me safe.

>> Brady: Well, I'm glad to hear that.

>> Chloe: Brady, I need him right now.

>> Brady: I kn--Chloe, your priority is protecting your

kids, and I respect that. If Stefan can provide that for

you, then good for him. >> Chloe: So does that mean you

will stop meddling in our lives? >> Brady: [laughs] Meddling.

Yeah. I know that you can make your

own choices. >> Chloe: Seriously.

>> Brady: That's what you want. You want me to back off a little

bit, I'll do that. I'll respect your wishes.

No problem. >> Chloe: Thank you, Brady.

That means a lot.

[suspenseful music]

>> Gabi: [sighs]

I brought the paperwork for you to look at.

>> Stefan: You could have sent a messenger.

>> Gabi: Well, he was late, and we are on a time crunch.

What? >> Stefan: Nothing.

>> Gabi: So initial right there. Yep, sign right there.

One more initial. Yeah.

>> Stefan: You sure it was an unreliable messenger?

Not because you wanted to see me?

>> Gabi: Why would you say that? >> Stefan: I don't know.

Maybe the kiss we shared. >> Gabi: Stefan, don't flatter

yourself. That kiss meant nothing.

>> Stefan: Maybe you haven't been able to stop thinking about

it. >> Gabi: I think you're the one

that hasn't been able to stop thinking about it.

>> Sarah: Rex. Hi.

>> Rex: Hi. >> Sarah: You're not

interrupting anything at all. >> Rex: Really? 'Cause it just

looked like a serious moment between the two of you.

>> Sarah: Yeah, well, we were talking about Brady and about

Chloe living with Stefan. >> Rex: And because I know about

the kiss now, Brady doesn't have any power over you anymore.

Right? >> Eric: Right.

>> Rex: I'm just really glad we cleared that up.

>> Sarah: Me too. >> Rex: So did you share with my

brother our great news? >> Eric: Dad--he told me first.

Congratulations. >> Rex: Thank you.

>> Eric: I'm happy for you. For both of you.

You're a lucky man. >> Rex: Yeah. Yeah, I am.
