Daniel/Carly at Daniel's Apartment.
Nathan/Melanie at the Brady Pub
Nathan/Melanie/Daniel/Carly at the Hospital
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Daniel opens his door to Carly. She rushed home. She is upset and wants to know where Melanie is. Daniel's phone rings. It's Maxine. He is on his way. Melanie is back in the hospital. They leave Daniel's apartment.
Melanie is telling Nathan she is OK. She just stood up too fast. She almost passes out again so Nathan scoops her up and heads for the hospital.
Nathan is checking Melanie's vitals. She didn't want to embarass him. She didn't faint. There is no damsel in distress thing going on. She has a low blood volume. Dizziness is common. She knows. They are going to run more tests. She tells him to stop worrying about her. He loves her and wants to spend the rest of his life with her. Make her happy. What's wrong? Daniel and Carly interrupt what is going on? Melanie shouts she is fine. She didn't die. It was just a little problem. Sorry, she gets weird when people get weird around her. Shouldn't Carly be in Toronto? Yeah but she came as soon as she heard, but if Melanie is over crowded and wants to spend time with Daniel, that is great. No, she wants Carly there too. Carly and Melanie are alone./ Melanie didn't ask her to stay to be her doctor. She asked her to stay to be her mom. OK, she is here. Let's talk. Melanie wants to talk about when she was a baby and Carly gave her away. Outside the room Nathan is telling Daniel what happened. He would rather be safe then sorry cause he doesn't ever want anything to happen to her. Neither does Daniel but they have to keep this in perspective. Nathan wants to go somewhere more private to talk. Carly knows. Now that she has lost a baby Melanie must not understand how someone gave away such a beautiful newborn baby. No Melanie tells her. Not what she was going to say at all. Oh. She gets it. She understands. She knows Carly tried to explain to her a million times what happened. Her psycho husband was going to kill her, etc. She gets it. She would have done ANYTHING to save her baby. She would have hopped in the bed with the devil or given her own life to save her child so if someone bargained with her that they would have saved her baby if she gave her away then she would have done it in a heartbeat. Carly is so sorry she was put in a position to have to think that way. Melanie just wants Carly to know she understands. She knows she said she forgave her, but that was a decision but now she forgives her in her heart too. They hug. Daniel and Nathan enter the waiting area. They banter a bit about the fact that Melanie and Philip are finished. Nathan is sure she loved Philip but not the way she love him. He knows it since the day they met. They were both together in quarantine and said it. Daniel remembers. Nathan loves her so much and wants to make sure she is happy for the rest of his life. Meaning? Meaning he wants to marry Melanie. Back to Carly and Melanie, she talks of thinking about aborting the baby but it was because of Nathan. Because maybe he was the one he should have been with the whole time. He told her he never stopped loving her. Carly doesn't doubt that for one second. When did Melanie realize it was over with Bo? Sorry. Too personal. No it's OK. She will never be over him and stop loving him but things change and there is no going back. Is this about Philip? No. That's over. Nathan? She thinks she is just like her mom. She doesn't think she will ever get over him...Meanwhile Daniel and Nathan are talking and Nathan wants Daniel's blessing but he says no. Nathan is speechless.
Brady/Taylor at the KMansion
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Brady is looking at some papers when Nicole calls him. She tells him she knows about him asking Taylor to work for him. Is it about Taylor or him and her? Why would his job offer be about her? Brady, it is time for you to let go. He shouldn't keep finding ways to stay connected to her world. He laughs. God. Wow. Everything she just said is funny and pathetic. Nicole, get over yourself. He has. The world does not revolve around Nicole. He offered Taylor the job because she is capable and qualified. Willing and most important, she is honest. Has Nicole ever heard of that word? He hangs up on her. Brady is about to leave when Nicole comes into the KMansion. She came to talk about the job. If it is still good then she is all his. Why all of a sudden? It was an offer she couldn't refuse...bad joke. No...it was good considering his families reputation which is why he is turning things around at Titan. Bring in new people and new blood. She can't promise miracles, but will work hard. Even if her sister is working with his enemy? Brady needs to know if there will be a problem. Not for her...They banter about how bad EJ is and Brady tells him that Taylor would do herself a favor to stay far away from him. Interesting. EJ gave her the same advice about Brady. Ahh, but there she is. That's because no one runs her life. Not now. Not ever.
Taylor/EJ/Nicole/Sydney/Stefano at the DiMansion
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Taylor puts her coat on and opens the door to leave, only to run into EJ. What is she doing there? Leaving. He stops her. Taylor says goodbye brother in law and he says call me EJ. Nicole comes down and thought Taylor left. They banged into each other at the door. Nicole tells Taylor the job offer is still good. She just talked to Brady. What job offer EJ asks. At Titan. EJ says no she is not. Taylor reams EJ out that he cannot tell her what to do with her life. He thinks he has a better understanding of the situation then she does. If she takes a job at Titan it will be a disaster. Good observations seeings as he doesn't even know her. He doesn't but he does know Brady. He is a junkie. An alcoholic who is in love with Nicole. He is from a family who is not friends with the DiMeras and she cannot take the job there. He does not like EJ. Brady wants harm to come to them all. Sorry if she thinks this is about her, but it's not. It's about him. Wow. Now she sees the side of him she has only heard about. If she is smart, she will stay as far away from Brady Black as possible. She is outta there. Nicole is angry he was so mean. What is it with those two? Nothing. EJ is annoyed because Taylor is so naive. As if Brady would give her a job out of the goodness of his heart. EJ, she graduated magna cum laude (spelling?). He is aware. She can work anywhere, just not with him. He doesn't want to have this conversation anymore and he doesn't want her working for Brady. Obviously she hit a nerve seeings as it is weird to break that stiff upper lip that EJ likes to show everyone...but Taylor sure did. Why is that? Fine. Maybe it is about time that Nicole knew. To know what? Taylor and he met before the wedding. She knows that. But obviously they did not hit it off so who got their nose out of joint first? Him or her? That is not quite what happened. Sydney sings out mommy and Nicole leaves to see her but EJ stops her and says Sydney really loves her. It's mutual. She will never forget the chance he gave her to be her step mom. They kiss and Nicole leaves. She comes back with Sydney and EJ takes her. They banter back and forth and play with Sydney for a minute and Nicole wants to get back to what they were talking about before, when he and Taylor first met. Nothing he tells her. It is not important. They had a minor argument and things somehow seemed to escalate from there. Nicole tells him not to give up on Taylor. Once she knows him, she will be as crazy about him as Nicole is. Nicole and Sydney head out for a while. EJ and Stefano are left at the mansion and talk about if the drug worked or not. Apparently, yes. EJ is livid. No chance for any recovery. That is why they are going to keep him in the cell. EJ needs to see for himself. Stop. Wait. They wiped everything out of his memory. Including EJ. He shouldn't let Rafe see his face. Stefano hopes EJ doesn't have any regrets. None at all. He had it coming.
