Episode #10,968 Director – Noel Maxam
Chelsea wanders into an empty Cheatin’ Heart, where Max (in a tank top) is trying to fix some plumbing under the bar. He cusses a bit, then succeeds, and can now deal with Chelsea and her self pity party. Her gramma is worse, the cancer has spread, and everyone in her family is being tested, everyone single one except her. Poor Chelsea. A fed up Max reams her out, reminding her she already donated part of her pancreas to her father, she saved a life, and does she think she is the only person around with spare body parts to save lives. Ahhh, Chelsea got the message, thanks Max for being her friend, just what she needed. Later, she gets a call from Philip, and rushes over to the hospital.
Melanie sits at the computer in Maggie’s kitchen, tired and bored with trying to memorize all the stuff about Titan that Philip wants her to learn. She has been at this so long already…..looks at the clock, says, oh, just ½ hour. Time for a break. She gathers her things, leaves a note for Maggie not to touch the work project on the computer, and takes off down to the docks, where she has her own pity party. Maggie happens along, Melanie complains about Philip, not sure why he gave her this job, and now he is not returning her calls. Maggie reminds her that Philip has other things on his mind, tells her about Kate being back in the hospital. Melanie is understandably contrite, and when Maggie mentions helping, Melanie decides to go to the hospital and get tested.
Lucas is in the park with Chloe, just ending a phone call. Seems Austin & Will have been tested to see if they are a bone marrow match, Billie too, results are being sent to the hospital. He complains that in 70% of the cases, there is no match within the family. Chloe tells him to concentrate on the 30% who do. They leave the park, and next we see them in bed, basking in the afterglow. He mentions her not being able to show off her ring, she says it is o.k. with her, it is a good secret she is keeping, and she doesn’t want Kate to have more than she can handle right now. They talk of the beautiful home they will be moving into, exchange a few kisses, and are rolling around on the bed once more. Lucas gets a call from Philip, and says he will be right there.
At the Pub, Marlena is apologizing to John, telling him that the Dr. Taylor she had referred him to was an older man. Dr. Charlotte interrupts, saying that was her father, he died recently, she has taken over his cases, and is well qualified, as her father made sure she was up to speed. John throws in a comment every once in a while, enjoying the repartee between the two women. Marlena definitely is a bit green-eyed, and there is a bit of “meowing” on her part, especially when she learns that John has agreed to continue therapy with Dr. Taylor. Marlena wants to know why she was not informed that Dr. Kenneth Taylor had died, and is told that this Dr. Taylor left several messages at her office, she had to get at least one. Marlena says she had a temp working. (give me a break!) John gets a call, leaves the ladies alone, and now Dr. Taylor exchanges some conversation with Marlena about her relationship with John, that they may be divorced, but she is obviously close to him, and perhaps actually interferes with any progress. They banter about him a bit, and then Marlena learns that Dr. Taylor has left her home in St. Claire now that her father died, and has accepted a position at Salem Hospital. And in fact, has her office right next door to Marlena’s. John returns as she is saying this, and the smile on his face is too funny.
At the hospital, Philip sits besides a sleeping Kate, who evidently doesn’t have to wear one of those uncomfortable hospital gowns, but is in her own satin PJs. She opens her eyes, spies Philip and tells him he doesn’t have to sit holding her hand, she doesn’t want that. Nahh, he is just hangin out. LOL. She lets him know she is gonna fight all the way, but if things do not work out, she wants him to be strong. She gets a wave of terrible pain, Philip grabs her hand, telling her to squeeze his. Daniel has come in, Philip goes out in the hall. Now Kate talks to him about being there all time, sure this is reminding him of his wife. No, this is not about her, and not to worry.
Out in the hall, Stephanie arrives with some papers Phil has to sign right away. He does, she tells him she was tested herself, one can never tell. He thanks her, they hug as Melanie comes around the corner, and then retreats. Stephanie leaves, Melanie returns, Philip is rather curt with her, and she does not get a chance to even say she came to be tested, instead sort of saying all the wrong things, apparently. She leaves.
In the park, Stephanie meets up with her parents, bringing them coffee and hot chocolate, but drops one of the drinks. She breaks down, then explains to her worried parents about seeing Philip, so down about his mom….and just wanting to see her own. Hugs all around as Steve & Kayla embrace their daughter, telling her they are fine.
Melanie is back on the docks as Maggie comes by, surprised to still find her there. Melanie takes one of the grocery bags, and talks of how she always says the wrong thing, even when she is trying to be nice. She tells Maggie about seeing Stephanie there, who always seems to do or say the right thing. Maggie gives her some good advice, they seem to have made peace between themselves, and as they take off for home, Melanie tells herself she not only wants to make good at her own job, but at Stephanie’s as well. (Uh, oh)
Daniel brings in a Christmas ornament, places it on Kate’s bedside table. She opens her eyes, thinks it rather garish, but he says it was the last one in the gift shop. Kate really wants one more Christmas, if she can. A nurse brings word from the lab, Philip pops his head in, learns the results are all in. Daniel leaves for the lab, Philip calls family. Daniel stands with a folder, mutters this is not what he expected.
Lucas, Chloe, Philip are all in Kate’s room, Chelsea arrives, all wondering where Daniel is. He finally comes in, had to go back to the lab to double check something. Lucas asks if there is a match. Daniel tells them he did not just test family members (don’t you wonder if that included Rex & Cassie??? LOL) but also the hospital data base, to include former patients. So??? Kate asks if he found a match. Yes, he did. He hesitates, then announced “It is Chloe”.
