Director – Kathryn Foster
Over in France, Max sits alone in his room, as Melanie comes in looking for something to eat. P&J in the little frig, nope, she doesn’t like peanut butter. Sorry, he has no snacks. They get to jabbering, she wonders how he got adopted. He gives her the Cliff Notes version…Trent abandoned his mother, she died, Trent put him into foster care, abusive place. Rescued by an older kid who took him under his wing, then the Bradys adopted both Frankie & him. He asks about her life. She says they lived lots of places as Trent climbed the academic ladder, finally settling in Ann Arbor, Michigan. (Univ. of Michigan home). She was in 6th grade, stole a teacher’s wallet, spent all the money on clothes, got busted, and from then on it was boarding schools, constantly being kicked out and he would find another for her. She finally talked him into letting her come to France, and here she stays, enjoying her freedom, right now pretending to be in summer school. Max asks when she will graduate, who knows, she replies. She claims she doesn’t get along all that well with her dad. Max wants her to return with him to Salem, tell him how she feels, she can leave again then. No Way, she protests, she would then be under his control since she is not yet 18, and her freedom is important. And once she hits 18……..Au Revoir.Just then Trent calls Mel, complaining about her maxing out her credit card, she makes excuses and hangs up. Max tries to convince her to go home with him, but no go. Max tells her he is her brother, and he IS going to be in her life from now on. He has to leave, smiles as he says he is taking his wallet. When he is gone, Melanie calls someone, saying to send a car for her, things are getting too intense around here. Max has gone to meet Nick, telling him he doesn’t know exactly what to do about Melanie. Stephanie doesn’t trust her, he feels Mel needs him, and he just does not know what to do.
Back in Salem, at the DiMera mansion, Stefano is still ranting and raving at his ingrate sons, but so glad to be back in his mansion with all his artwork, liquor & cigars. LOL. He tells EJ & Tony he is disowning them both. Tony says he already disinherited them, but Stef rants he is doing it again. J He is complaining about John running a boarding house there, when in walks Lucas & Chloe. Stefano is rolling his eyes AND his Rs, as he asks WHY Lucas is there. I live here, replies Lucas, Stefano nearly has a fit, asks if Chloe does, too. Nope. Thank goodness. Lucas announces, tho, that he is moving out, (Stefano says, thank goodness) and only came to collect his stuff. Later, he & Chloe come down laden with suitcases, bag of things, and Lucas is carrying a little doll. EJ asks why he is taking some of that stuff – Lucas says for when he gets his daughter. EJ is surprised he is still pursuing this, but Lucas tells him it is between him & Sami & none of his business. They leave. Doorbell, and now comes Victor, walking with a cane. Stefano has heard of his debilitating stroke, Vic has heard of Stef’s debilitating coma. They sit down, smile & chat, glad to be back doing business with each other. Victor appreciates Stefano letting him know about Paul escaping, Stef claims actually it was Rolf who let him know. They exchange a few pleasantries, evidently reaching some sort mutual satisfactory understanding, cause the next scene, there is no Victor, and we do not see him leave.
Stefano wants EJ & Tony out next, but they tell him they are perfectly comfortable, having every right to be there. He asks if they are challenging him. Yep, sez EJ, guess we are. Stefano sips his brandy, commenting…..Bring it on!!!
Chelsea is playing with Theo, when Mark comes in for their session. She goes outside the room to wait, as Daniel comes up. He tries to talk to her, tells her it is over & done between him & kate, but Chelsea is rather cool towards him. She is sorry, but she just could not be with him, without seeing him, in her mind’s eye, with Kate. Lexie comes along, intending to pick up Theo, but Chelsea tells her she knows Lexie is busy, and will wait for Theo, take him for ice cream after. Lexie is greatful, leaves. Later Chelsea is once again sitting with Theo in the room, (they seem to get along well), and tells him she has to go away for a little while, but promises she will be back soon.
Down at the cop shop, Morgan waits to talk with her father. John comes in, wanting to know what they want him for. Bo explains about Paul being in custody, yes, Roman already told John that. And Stefano should be behind bars and isn’t. Bo figures Stefano has friends in high places. John claims he will launch a civil suit, if the PD cannot bring charges. Roman comes out, tells him that John is still a suspect in the Hollingsworth case.
Philip is watching & listening, all the time. Paul is questioned, claims he disappeared on his own, came back because he decided to turn himself in. Yes, he planted the cocaine on John’s ship all by himself, and burned down the warehouse. Roman says he thinks John kidnapped him, held him under cover, and that Philip paid him to plant the cocaine. Nope, Paul says he did it all by himself. He is led away, being allowed to say goodbye to his daughter. She is still asking what is going on, he says he is going to jail.
John gets a call from Stefano, who tells him he assumes he is free, just like himself. John asks how he managed it, Stef says none of his business. John wonders how he managed to convince Paul to take the fall, Stefano laughs as he says he threatened his daughter. It is always about control & leverage. And in return for getting John off the hook, he wants him to keep silent about what was done to him in the lab. And if he tries to file a civil suit, Paul will renege on his confession and John will be in hot water. “Tread lightly, …..brother”.
Tony wonders how Stefano can live with himself after what he did with the gas at the hospital. Stefano claims he was gone already, that folks were only hallucinating when they claim they saw him. He insists he is completely innocent.
Roman calls John into his office to get things squared away about the civil suit he is going to bring on Stefano, but John has decided not to pursue that avenue. He says he does not remember much, so would probably lose, so why bother. Victor calls Philip, telling him Paul is taking the fall for the cocaine, and he is in the clear. Big smile on Phil’s face. That is until John comes out of Roman’s office, telling Phil they are back on. Paul took the fall, Stefano is back, wiggled his way out of his problems, and John is ready to take them both on. John says the old man has not taken control yet, and as long as he is around, he never will.
Stefano gets up, tells his sons to listen up. He is back, he is free….and from now on, he calls the shots around here.
