Days of Our Lives
Monday, October 24, 2016
Point & counterpoint today, as we finally get some real romance, plus a failed attempt at it. At the Pub, John, Marlena, Steve & Kayla talk about how nice it is to be free of danger, enjoy themselves, be happy. John's bank was able to retrieve the $20 million he had transferred into Orpheus's offshore account, Kayla mentions now they can plan a great wedding, they all need something decadent. John & Steve talk of finding rental space for BlackPatch, they want to get to work again, they leave for a couple appointments.
Later, they have seen a good one, Steve wants to put money down, John figures no hurry, with the city under siege for the past month, no businesses wanted to move into Salem, they can do it tomorrow. Steve gets a text from Kayla, she needs help, Pier 16.
After the guys left, Marlena & Kayla chat a bit, Kayla thinks she & Steve need some private time together wants Marlena's help, and she is delighted to do so. When Steve arrives at the pier, twinkle lights along a wall, a table set with candles, a small centerpiece. He calls out for Kayla, who finally appears, coming down the stairs, in a red dress. Steve thinks she looks beautiful, calls her "my Lady in Red", asks if she remembers their song.....(and dang it, no, they don't play it). They sit at the table, each with a beer, and talk. Kayla asks him to forgive her, that yes, she wanted to take things slow, but who knows how much time any of them have, and she wants to spend the time with him. He does the same, knows he lost sight of that for a bit, but won't ever make that mistake again. They both say I love you, clink the beer bottles.
At the cop shop, Aiden finds Hope at her desk, shoving the dress box he bought her back in a drawer. He chastises her, knows she will look beautiful in it, be at his hotel room for lunch, wearing it. She is curt, cold, refusing, has too much work. He ignores this, says the bad guys are in jail or dead, no lots of work, be there, or else he will call the boss man and play the tape. Rafe comes in, warning Aiden he is tired of having same conversation over and over, leave Hope alone. They argue, Hope tells Rafe to back off, none of his business. He thinks it is. Roman comes in, Raines is having a fit, they have to go to his office NOW. Hope comes out between them just as Aiden supposedly is getting ready to call someone, sweetly reminding Aiden he has a lunch meeting. Aiden grins, and leaves. Rafe goes off with Roman.
Elsewhere, Kate is having a drink with Andre' (in the square) praising his work in helping put Clyde back in jail, they exchange small talk, she even comments he reminds her of Tony. Perhaps Andre should channel him. Andre remarks how everyone loved Tony best, Kate says to ask yourself why that was? Marlena comes along, thanking Andre for his help, he gets a call, moves off as Sonic is calling for an interview with him on "courage". LOL. Marlena sits with Kate a bit, noting they seem to be rather close, warning her that no matter how well she thinks she knows him, do not trust him...ever.
Later Eduardo has come to see Kate, just checking on how she is doing after her accident. Fine. He is still blaming himself for all the misery, she notes that she herself has done a lot of terrible things, and he just has to let it go, stop beating himself up. He was just trying to protect his family. She comments he still in danger, he agrees, they are getting close, His hand is on her shoulder/neck. Her hand is on his face (what long fingernails!!), he kisses her other hand.
Roman & Rafe come storming back from Raine's office, stupid mtg. Rafe sees Hope is gone, is having a fit, Roman wants to know what is up. They go into another room, Rafe tells Roman that Aiden is blackmailing Hope, knows all about Stefano. They both try to figure out what they could do.....Roman wants to go beat the crap out of Aiden, ha. Rafe decides he is going to confess to killing Stefano, get Hope off the hook. Nope, Adien not stupid, will figure it out. But Rafe figures Aiden is blackmailing Hope, because he knows all about Roman & Rafe. Now Roman wants to take the rap, say Rafe confessed to him months ago, and he kept it under wraps. Both men are perplexed.
At the pier, all is going well with Kayla & Steve. She tells him how she got the complete big deal cable pkg, he can watch the Bulls all he wants, all the games, any games, from the comfort of his own living room.....our living room. She puts some music on from her phone, asks him to dance with her. They do, holding each other close, hugging, kissing each other's cheeks, neck. Her phone rings, she has to go to the hospital. He tells her to go, heal the sick. They kiss, kiss again. (Really, these scenes are just wonderful ).
And they contrast with Aiden's hotel room, where Hope arrives, in the black dress, pleasing Aiden. But Hope is stiff, cold, and barely says anything. Aiden is trying to get her to lighten up, offers glass of wine, she has to go back to work. He ordered cold salmon, she is not hungry. O.K. Let's get this over with. She sits at the table. He tries light conversation, talking of surprising her by the lake, their first kiss. Hope is silent. She remembers, tho. He knows he told some lies, but it is in the past, let's put it behind us. She is indignant, the lies piled up, he even was stealing her children's future.
Now he puts on music, the waltz they danced at the Gala. He wants her to dance with him now. She refuses, he plays some of her statements with Rafe about Stefano. She says to turn it off, gets up, dances with him, but won't look at him. He pulls her closer, putting her hand on his shoulder. He begins kissing her neck, she pushes him away, she cannot do this. He says she has no choice. Oh, my God, he got it from you, shocked expression on her face. Aiden looks puzzled. Your son forced my daughter, just as you are. You forced me to come here, forced me to wear this dress. You think forcing a woman is how to get your own way. You are NOT going to do to me what your son did to my daughter. It is NOT happening.
Aiden is looking confused. Hope moves up closer to his face, angry expression on her face.
