Days of Our Lives
Wednesday, January 6, 2016
The big bright spot.....RoboChad has left the building!! Opened a new box of tissues today, much needed, as the decision about Daniel's heart is made. Nicole is sitting by Daniel's bed, crying, talking, telling him how he is going to be saving the life of one of his best friends. And over in the waiting area, John is insisting they take his heart to save his son, Maggie, Kayla are saying that is not going to work. Marlena comes in, says he cannot do that, but he figures it is the only way to save both their sons. Kayla tells him this situation is already difficult, and he is just muddying things up. Maggie declares loudly, that she just cannot make the decision, asks Kayla what she would do, then wants to know who would have the best chance of surviving.
Kayla very firmly says that Brady suffered blunt trauma to his chest, there is nothing that can be done for him in this state. They accidentally discovered an infection in Eric's heart muscle which has damaged his heart. Fynn is up on all the latest drug treatments, anti-biotics, etc. Maggie says then there is no doubt about what to do. Kayla says to get Brady ready for surgery.
Over in Eric's room, Roman is sitting by his side, telling him to hang in there he is strong, don't leave him, and how much he loves him. Later, Marlena is with him, basically saying the same things. Eric's monitor goes off, she calls for a nurse, who comes in, says it was arrhythmia, due to infection, she gives him a beta blocker which seems to be working.
Hope is napping on the sofa, dreaming of being in the warehouse, calling out Dr. Malcom’s name. Rafe is in the square, talking with Gabi, who is checking her phone because a friend’s mom was in an accident, she is waiting to hear from him. Hope has woken up suddenly, has a “gotcha” look on her face, calls Rafe, needs to see him NOW. He arrives, she starts talking about Malcolm, and how she has figured out the person he called was Stefano. She goes thru the steps Bo took after leaving Salem, looking for a drug, etc. and figures it can only be Stefano. Everything bad ever happened to them was because of him. Rafe tells her to leave it alone, she will not, he asks if she plans on Russian roulette again, look how that turned out. He notes she has changed, she is not the kind of cop person she used to be, it is not her. Oh, but she claims she has changed now. He tries to talk her out of going after Stefano, let him find the proof, but she is not to be dissuaded.
Maggie comes into Daniel’s room, tells the distraught Nicole that a decison has been made, Brady gets the heart. Nicole is crying all the more, rubbing Daniel’s chest, thanking him for loving her, giving her all these good memories. Now Maggie takes her turn, saying goodbye to Daniel, she will see him againd. The orderlies appear to take him away, disconnecting the machines, Nicole is crying, no, no, don’t. She and Maggie sobbing and holding each other.
Chad holds Thomas, looking at him. Abby is saying she knows Stefano & Andre’ did something to him, but she knows how strong he is, that he can overcome this. There is a rush of fast images (from the brainwashing) of war, explosions, Belle, Abby, the baby, all jammed together, Chad shudders, looks at Abby with tears in his eyes, “how could I have treated you that way”. She smiles, he is back. He talks of how fierce she was when she came to his room last night, how she never ever lost faith in him. He loves her. Just a bit later, the doctor comes in, says that while Thomas will have to be monitored frequently, he should really be o.k., lead a normal life. The parents are both happy with that news. Abby wants to leave to see her mom, who is being discharged today. Chad stays behind to be with the baby.
Abby comes across Jen, who is dressed, has been discharged, but is waiting to hear about Brady. Abby doesn’t know any of it, so Jen, haltingly, tells her of the 3 cars involved, Eric in one, Brady & Daniel in the other, the two men injured, Brady needing a heart transplant. It takes a bit, but she finally manages to tell Abby about Daniel not making it, Brady getting his heart. She asks about Thomas, Abby tells of all that has transpired, and how Chad had his breakthrough as well. She is so happy about thomas, but hates being happy after hearing about Daniel, such a good man.
In the operating room, the two men lay side by side, Fynn says to Daniel that he is going to do this..exactly the way Daniel would. He turns on the surgical saw.
In the waiting area, family is pacing, sitting.....John, Belle, Maggie, Victor, Philip, Theresa, even Paul arrives. No words, as they fidget, look at the clock (we keep seeing the clock hands moving thru the hours). Nicole is in Daniel’s room, going thru his personal effects. She cries at all the pics in his wallet of the two of them, She stands up, raging at God, asking if he is satisfied now. After taking her two babies that never got to draw a breath, now it is the man she loved so much, who loved her. “Why do you hate me so much? What did I ever do to you?“
Finally, Kayla comes into the waiting area, all went well, Brady is in recovery, they will be watching, it will be a while, then he goes to ICU.
Victor wants to take Maggie home, stay with her til she falls asleep, then return. But Maggie doubts she will ever sleep again. Nicole goes to the morgue, for one last visit with Daniel. She breaks down, Fynn holds her, asking if there is anything he can do. It is too late she cries, no one can do anything. She leaves, Theresa follows Aunt Kayla, thanking her for all she did.
Marlena is in the chapel, asking God to help her son get well. John comes looking for her, hears her.
Kayla comes in again, Brady is breathing on his own, has no fever, is going to ICU.
Theresa sit bedside, telling Brady how great he pulled though all this, and how she will be telling their little boy, in the future, about the night his dad came back to them.
Brady’s finger moves, holds her finger. She smiles.
Chad has gone home, tells Harold to tell Stefano & Andre' he is back. But, they have retired. Wake them up, replies Chad.
