The Long Goodbye One long, long, sad & tearful goodbye to Melanie is the theme of the show today, as Molly Burnett, who plays Melanie, bids farewells to her family & friends throughout the show. Brady is refusing to accept that she is going to leave, and storms out of the apt., sitting in the park, thinking. Melanie goes to the hospital to see Maxine (and I am guessing, quit her job, and then gets to see and feed Tate, saying goodbye to him. She is all suited up in protective clothing, and talks to him. Later, she is dressed, telling Serena, who is talking of leaving for Hawaii herself, both promising to keep in touch. Nicole comes out of the elevator, sees them, Serena leaves, Nicole sees Melanie looking so upset, they have a nice conversation, with Mel asking Nicole to mend whatever has her & Daniel apart, that Daniel really loves her so much. She says she considers Nicole a friend, surprising Nicole, hugs, tears, etc.
Replay of Will & Sonny's honesty hour, Will asking Sonny if he still loves Paul. Sonny says he is in love with Will, who gets mad because Sonny avoids answering. They go back & forth, argue, with Will getting angry, figuring Sonny still does. Sonny protests that Paul is back in town for John, Will thinks if John was in Cleveland, Paul would be right here in Salem. Sonny gets ticked off, telling Will that he is in love with him, made a commitment to him, Arianna, their family. Will thinks that sounds like going to a mental institution. Sonny really gets upset, telling lhim that he did not cheat on Will, he did not sleep with Paul, that Will did, not him. Will, of course, wonders then how long Sonny is going to throw that up in his face. (Egads!) Knock, knock, Clyde arrives for interview, bringing Kate with him. Sonny says there he is, and takes off.
Earlier, Clyde sits having coffee with Kate, who has told of Justin now supposedly keeping an eye on her, she is not worried, she will show he is not needed. Clyde thinks there is more to it than that. He asks kate to come with him to Will's. We rejoin them after Will has finished a short interview, surprising Clyde. Will's claims he got info from Poplar Bluff, everyone thinks he is great, admits one didn't. Clyde wants to know what Jeremiah said, reads the notes, and insists Will include it all in the article. He admits he was not a nice person, and wants folks to know a man can change for the better. He leaves, Kate stays, wanting to know what Sonny was so upset about. Will blames Paul being in town.
Sonny meets up with Paul in the park, they talk. Paul mentions seeing Tate, and then a man playing catch with his son, wishing he had that, even though his grandfather did so. He still feels like he missed out. Then it is again that he loves Sonny, but since he just had a fight with Will, he is not hanging around now. He wants them to be together, not because Sonny is mad, but because it is the way it should be.
Xander & Serena are on the phone, she tells him she only told Nicole she was leaving town, so pointless to try getting dirt on her. She warns Xander to leave her alone. Xander says if she is going, what does she care what he does. He is going to send her a memento of their adventures, she tells him to keep it, doesn't want it. Hangs up. Xander put a photograph into a brown envelope, putting Serena's name on the outside. She meets up with Eric, who tells her he has not told his family yet, especially with his mom having such a bad time in Italy, but promises to follow her within a week.
Brady is all suited up protectively, holding Tate, talking to him over how much he loves him, how much Mel has given up, and how HE is taking Tate home from the hospital, will always be there for him, etc. etc.
Daniel & parker are playing Go Fish in the square, Maggie arrives, they have to hurry back to the apartment. They do, find a note from Melanie propped against Freddie the elephant. She comes in a few minutes, Maggie takes parker to his room, Daniel & Mel have a sad father/daughter good bye. Then she has some alone time with Maggie, thanking her for her influence on her life. Daniel gets the suitcase, he, Parker & Maggie all go to the car, while Melanie takes a minute to say goodbye to the apartment, I guess.
Nicole is in her office (I thought at first she was wearing a bathing suit, lol) talking of Serena leaving, how she can get the elephant, she cannot go to the apartment. And in comes Xander. Nicole is rather wary, Xander is charming, telling her no need for them to sneak around now, things have happened, and Uncle Vic & Maggie are having a dinner party for the family, he wants her to come as his date. Nicole doesn't think Vic would be too happy about that, but Xander presses her. He is all smiles, charm and up close.
As Melanie takes a last look around the apt. there stands Brady. He came, had been thinking, and is no longer going to protest, because he trusts her. Trusts Mel to know what she wants to do, has to do, because she loves him so much. She not only got his son back, she now gave him back a second time. He promises to think of her whenever Tate smiles, laughs, cries, whatever...because she is responsible for him being able to see that. Kissing thru tears on both their parts. He insists he is taking her to the airport, because he needs to spend every possible second with her they have left. Out the door, into the hall, laughing a bit. The door closes.
Serena gets a text from Eric to come home, he misses her. She smiles, is on her way. At his apartment, Eric answers the door to a messenger with an envelope for Serena. Eric signs for it, puts it on the table. Later, he is typing away on the laptop, knocks his coffee all over the envelope, hastily picks it up, has to open to save the contents.
Serena arrives, a solemn looking Eric is holding the photograph, asking her if she wants to tell him what this is all about. We see the photo is on Xander & Serena in bed!
