I crack up whenever he's in scenes with anyone who is relatively short and he has to be sitting or squatting or practically bending in half just so the camera can fit them into the same shot. |

Please note: This report is not to be copied and pasted to any other sites. Please link only. Link to summary archive: http://www.network54.com/Forum/358635/ Director: Albert Alarr Scriptwriter: Jeanne Marie Ford Segment 1: Kayla is over at the Horton house. Abby thanks her for bringing this stuff for her mom. Kayla tells Abby that her mom told her that she and Chad broke up before he went to Boston. Abby - Yes, it was my decision. Kayla - I know but you didn't tell your mother the real reason, did you? I know that Chad lied that he had a brain tumour so he could come between you and Cameron. I also know that EJ helped cover it up. EJ is talking to a man in the pub. So you're saying this virus decimated Mad World's network. It destroyed their entire spring business plan. Man - The guy who pulled it off is a regular Edward Snowden. EJ - You're saying this was an inside job. Man - It affected only projects assigned to a single contractor. EJ - Let me guess, Nicholas Fallon. When Jordan tells Kate that Gabi wanted to speak to Rafe alone Kate responds - Actually I'm Gabi's family so maybe she didn't want to have a private conversation with her brother in front of you. Jordan - What makes you think she wants to have it in front of you. Rafe - Gabi, what did Nick do now? Cue flashback of near rape. Gabi, did he hurt you in any way 'cause if he so much as laid a hand on you, he's a dead man. Vic walks up to Maggie who is at the hospital. Here you are. I've been looking all over town for you. Maggie - Found me. Vic - You can't hide behind this busy work forever. Maggie - Is that what you think this is. Vic - Yes. Enough of this nonsense. It's time for you to come home. Maggie - No. Brady keeps fingering the bag of cocaine. He gets an incoming text. It's the sex video. He closes the door to the living room and does a line of coke. Nicole - So I'm going to need exterior shots of the church and ... Miles - You leave all that leg work to me. This is going to be dynamite. It really is. I've got to ask ... you were so adamant about not covering this story, what changed your mind? Cue flashback of her encounter with Eric in the park (the apology part). Nicole - The point is I'm doing it but before I start there's one condition. Dan is walking through the square when he comes across an unconscious Eric. Gabi - I don't want to upset you. Rafe - What is going to upset me is you trying to keep things from me. Gabi - I'm sorry, it's hard to talk about. Rafe - Take a deep breath and start from the beginning. Gabi - Okay. She looks up and sees Kate signalling her. T walks up to Kate - Over here. What can I get you? Kate - Nothing. T - But you were waving ... Kate - Go away. Go away! Gabi - I feel really ashamed. Rafe - I love you. You're my sister. I would never judge you. You can tell me anything. Miles - You didn't mention any condition. Nicole - It's not a big deal. I just need to explain to someone what I'm doing before I start working. He needs to understand why I'm doing it. Miles - Okay. Fair enough. Go for it. You know you're the only person who can get this inside scoop and I can't believe that I hire you back and boom this just falls right in our laps. Wrong choice of words. You know this is going to be your triumphant comeback. When those Nielsen numbers start coming in ... Nicole - Alright, one step at a time. Eric comes to. Dan tells him to take it easy. What happened? Eric - A St. Luke's parishioner got upset when he saw me talking to his daughter. Dan - Upset! It looks like he attacked you. I'm going to take you to the ER. Eric - No I'm fine. He stands up. See, I'm okay. Dan - You were just unconscious. We need to rule out a concussion. Eric - I can't deal with seeing anyone at the hospital. I don't want anyone to start talking or staring at me. Dan - You won't have to deal with it. I have a way to avoid it. Come on, hang on. Maggie - I'm only entertaining this conversation because I don't want another public display. Vic - Whatever it takes Maggie. Maggie - That's your motto, isn't it? Vic - I will not apologise for what I did. Maggie - No, you're never sorry for anything, are you? Brady sits back and smiles. He keeps looking around to see if anyone is watching him. Segment 2: Jordan watches Kate watching Gabi and Rafe. Gabi - The reason I'm not moving to New York is because I found out that Nick was the one who arranged the whole modelling offer I got. He was the one who set it up and promoted me to the agency. Rafe - So it wasn't legit? Gabi - It was. The worst part was he got himself a job in New York too. Rafe - What! He was planning to follow you there. Gabi - Yeah, he wanted us to be a family again. Rafe - Sick bastard! It's a good thing you set him straight. Gabi - Rafe, I ... Jordan intercepts Kate again. Kate - Look you're his therapist, not his bodyguard. Buzz off. Gabi - Rafe, how did everything get so messed up. Kate walks up just as Rafe says - My God! Abby - You knew? Kayla - Cameron consulted with me on Chad's case. I wanted to talk to you about it but I couldn't ... Abby - Because of doctor / patient confidentiality. Kayla - Right. I'm sorry. Abby - You were doing the right thing; the only one. Kayla - What do you mean? What Chad did was unconscionable but Cameron was bound by the same ... Abby - Cameron dumped me because he didn't trust me to choose the right guy. I hate to say it but he wasn't wrong. I was jerking him around ... Kayla - Stop right there. There is nothing you could have done that would justify Chad's behaviour. Abby - I know but I feel like maybe I drove him ... Chad's not a bad guy. Kayla - No? Abby - No. I was standing right next to him when he jumped in front of that crazy woman with a gun and took two bullets for his brother. Kayla - Is that why you're not telling your mother because you don't want to tear down a hero. Abby - I just don't feel like explaining it to people. All that matters now is Chad is gone and it's over. You aren't going to say anything to my mom, are you? Kayla - Not if you don't want me too. Do you really think it's over this time? Abby - Trust me. Even EJ tried to convince me to give his brother a second chance. Hell no! EJ shakes the man's hand. Outstanding work Henry. This might be the perfect time for us to make our move on Mad World. I'll be in touch. Abe and Theo come into the pub. Theo runs and gives Uncle EJ a hug. EJ - What an incredible greeting that is. Theo - You're the only uncle I have left. EJ - You're Uncle Chad and Uncle Cameron haven't relinquished their positions, they're just out of town for a little bit. Theo - When are they going to come back? EJ - Well I don't know but in the meantime you have me. Maybe you should come visit me more often. Abe tells Theo to go and think about what he'd like to drink. EJ - I meant it. It would be nice to see him more often. Abe - I know but you've got to be very busy with both your father and Kristen gone. Was Henry here because of the Kristen / Eric video? EJ - It's okay Abe, you don't need to whisper. The secret is out. Henry may be an IT genius but even he can't put that genie back in the bottle. Abe - It's got to be a terrible shame. EJ - If you're looking for me to condemn my sister think again. I understand you're friends with Eric but the truth is the only person who knows what happened that night is Kristen. Eric thanks Dan for smuggling him into the exam room. Dan - You can't hide from the world forever. Not everyone is going to react the way that jerk did. Eric - Why not? He thinks I broke my vows and that I taped it and flaunted it all over the internet. Dan - Sorry for what you're going through. Eric - I left a message for Fr. Matt and the Bishop; let them know that the video went viral. I can only imagine how upset they're going to be. Dan - Not upset with you I hope. They know none of this was your fault. Eric - I've been praying for guidance but I'm not getting any answers. I don't know what to do. Brady answers the door at the mansion. It's Nicole. Segment 3: Vic - No, I'm not sorry. I kept Brady from ruining his life with that lying bitch. Maggie - Never mind collateral damage. You don't care about Eric or Marlena or anybody else. Vic - No and I suppose you would have sat Brady down and had a nice little chat with him telling him how Kristen wasn't to be trusted because it worked so well the first dozen times. Maggie - What I wouldn't have done; I wouldn't have sent Marlena down the aisle of St. Luke's with a sex tape of her son to play for the whole world to see. Vic - I did what I had to do. I'm the only one who knew how to get through to my grandson and he's better off for it. Brady follows Nicole into the living room. I really didn't want to see anyone right now. Nicole - I know. This won't take long. I just want to run something by you. You know I got hired back as a TV reporter, right? Brady - Yes, I heard about that. Congrats. Nicole - And I got my first assignment. I'm going to cover the story ... Brady - Let me guess ... don't tell me ... The Stupid and Sinners of Salem and you want a cameo appearance with Stupid because I was not on the sex tape. Nicole - It's not like that. It's just that the video is now out and my producer Miles is all over it. I want to tell the story my way so I can protect the people I care about. Brady - That's lovely. What are you doing here though? Nicole - Just because I'm furious with you doesn't mean I want you to hurt anymore than you already have. Brady - You don't need to pity me and you don't need my permission so have at it. Nicole - I'm telling you that I don't care what Miles says; I'm going to de-sex this story. It's going to be all about how evil Kristen is and how we need to find her and drag her ass back to Salem. Brady - Great! I'm all about that. I'll give you an exclusive. Live at 5. Life with a lying bitch. Dan - Don't give up. There's got to be some way to prove that you're telling the truth. Eric - Hope and Abe told me that Kristen's trail has gone cold. Let's face it, she's a DiMera and they know how to disappear. Dan - What about EJ? He says he's turned over a new life. He's engaged to your sister. He won't help you hunt her down? Eric - Even if he knew where she was or agreed to help us which he won't, she's never going to confess. Dan - It's possible that Kristen will drop off the face of the earth for a few decades but there's got to be another way. Abe greets Abigail when she comes into the pub. I wanted you to know that I got an email from Cameron; he wanted me to give you his best. I don't know what happened with the two of you and it's none of my concern but he does care about you. Abby - Well I'm sure that Theo really misses him. Abe - Yeah. Theo sees Abigail and runs and gives her a big hug. EJ walks up to them. Kate - Sorry for interrupting but I can see that Gabi said something that upset you. Rafe - Of course I'm upset. You should know this too. Nick was manipulating her. He was trying to get back with Gabi so he could play house with her and Arianna. Gabi - That's not all. When I found that out I ... Kate - You know, I'm so sorry. Rafe - Why are you sorry? Kate - Because I didn't say anything. Gabi was so upset and I was concerned about your health. Rafe - Hold on a second. Why did you tell her and not me? Kate - Don't blame her, that's not how it happened. I happened to just be in the square when it all went down. But you know what, I think she probably left out the most important thing and that's Nick is gone. He's gone to New York so we don't have to worry about him. Rafe - Is that why you didn't go to New York? Gabi - Yes, I mean no. Kate, I have to tell him everything okay. Segment 4: Rafe - Gabi? Gabi - I can't ... think ... I just did ... so I was so upset. Kate - Honey, I think it would be easier if I just told him what happened. Nick and Gabi rekindled. Nick and Gabi had sex. Rafe - OMG. What! Hold on a sec. Did he force himself on you? Gabi - No, no, no, but ... Kate - She was alone and she felt vulnerable and Nick did take advantage of that. Gabi expressed to me that she feels guilty because she feels like maybe she led him on but I assured her that was not the case. She did absolutely nothing wrong. She made it abundantly clear to him that it was over. Rafe - He's so lucky that he's not here. Let me tell you if I get these newly rehabilitated hands on that scrawny neck ... Kate - Forget about it! He's gone. She looks at Gabi - And you don't want him to ruin another minute of your life or anyone else's for that matter. Maggie - Maybe I have been deluding myself these past two years thinking, I don't know, that I could change you. No, I'm just one in a long string of failures. Caroline, Loretta, Kate. Why couldn't I believe what everyone was telling me; that you haven't changed. That you're unable to change. Vic - That's not true. Maggie - You don't ever say you're sorry. Vic - No I won't because I'm not. Maggie - And that breaks my heart because I am so, so sorry that you did what you did and sorry I won't be coming home. Nicole - Well you seem to be handling this better than I thought you would. Brady - Eric must have given you hell when you told him. Nicole - Seems to be his favourite sport lately. Brady - So is that all? Anything else? Nicole - No, it's not. What happened here? She's referring to the broken DVD lying on the floor. Dan - I was saying I thought you were poisoned from day one to corroborate your story. Eric - How? You have no medical evidence. I really appreciate how hard you've been trying. Dan - I'm sorry I pushed you so hard to remember which you wish you never had to know. Eric - If I knew I'd have known it was going to come out one way or the other. Dan - Doesn't everyone deserve to know the truth? We have new information. We know that Kristen used some sort of drug to wipe out your memory of what happened that night; probably used some sort of masking agent to render it undetectable. Eric - Which worked which is why you'll never have proof. Dan - Never say never. I have scaled back my hours at the hospital. I have some time to do some investigating. I will contact Mason again; see if he has any ideas. I will got to specific drug classes. I'll look ... Eric - Don't you think this will end up another dead end road. Dan - Call it a blessing or a curse but I never give up and I'm not giving up until I have proof to help you. EJ tells Theo he'll see him later. Abby tells Theo she found this incredible hill by Salem U and she was thinking as soon as it snows that the two of them could go sledding if it's okay with your Dad. Theo - Can I Dad, please, please, please. Abe laughs - Of course. Abe and Theo leave. EJ - He's quite smitten with you. Abby - Well we spent a lot of time together. Chad and I used to take him bowling and go to the arcades with him. EJ - He was telling me how much he misses his uncle. Abby - I'm sure he does. And in case you're wondering, I don't. Jordan walks over to Rafe's table. Is everything alright over here? Kate - Yeah, it was just a private thing. Rafe asks Gabi if she's going to be okay. Kate - Yes she is because I'm going to take care of her. Rafe - Okay. Gabi - Love you Rafe. Rafe - I love you too. No more rekindling. He and Jordan leave. Kate - What the hell were you thinking! Segment 5: EJ follows Abby to the bar. I know what Chad did was reprehensible. I suppose, of course, that you've never made a mistake. Abby faces him and says something (couldn't hear). EJ - One error in judgement doesn't make him a bad man. Abby - No it doesn't but that doesn't mean he's the right man for me. EJ - Fair enough. Abby - I mean look at you. You are great with children; Theo absolutely loves you. I know you've made plenty of mistakes in your life; does that mean you're not a bad man. EJ - I most definitely am a bad man. He leaves. Jordan and Rafe are near the nurse's station. She tells him her shift is done. Is there anything else you need before I leave. Rafe - No. I think you already went well above the call of duty today. Jordan - I am going to let you get yourself back in your room. Rafe - Yes I will. I know the drill, 20 pull-ups. Jordan - I'll see you tomorrow. Rafe - I hope so. Jordan leaves. Kayla walks up. Rafe, just the man I'm looking for. Rafe - Oh yeah, why's that? Kayla - I have some very good news. Gabi - I just can not lie like this to Rafe. I can't. Kate goes after her. Kate - You had absolutely no problem lying about the paternity of the baby. Gabi - I had a real big problem with that okay and this is different because I killed a man. Kate - Your brother is a cop so if you involve him in this you're asking him to either commit a crime or send you away which means throwing away your life, my life and Sami's life. Gabi - I wouldn't bring you into it. Kate - Oh really. Three questions in you'd be spilling everything. You can't say a word. Gabi - Why did you have to tell him that I slept with Nick. Kate - Because that was preferable to telling him that you killed a guy. Gabi - I don't know how to live with this secret. Kate - Think of it this way. If you don't that means living without your beautiful daughter. If you don't that means your daughter lives without a mother. That happened to me. I don't want to see that happen to you or to Arianna. Gabi - I can't live without her. Kate - Then keep your mouth shut and that won't happen. Do you understand. Gabi nods. Kate - Good girl. So if you have anything you need or want to talk about, you call me. Okay, have a good day. Eric - I really appreciate your help. I just want to focus my energy on looking forward. I can't control what happens, just how I deal with it. Dan - I understand. Eric - I want to get right with God; get right with my Church. I can't help anyone else until I help myself. Dan - You're going to get through this, you know that right. Eric - I will. Thanks for everything. Dan - You take care of yourself. Nicole - It's bad enough this is all over the internet, did someone send you this. Brady - Yes. Nicole - Who would do that! Brady - It's nothing I haven't seen before. It's no big deal. Nicole - Why are you acting so calm about this? Brady - I'm not. Are we done? We're done, right? Nicole - I guess so. Thanks. Brady - Thank you. Bye, I'll see you. After see leaves he pulls out the coke again. Vic comes into the room. Segment 6: Nicole returns to Dan's apt. She opens her laptop. 76 messages, all linked to the video. Delete, delete, delete. Sorry Miles but I'm doing the story my way. Brady sticks the bag back in his jeans pocket. You're home early. Did something happen? Vic - I tried to have a conversation with Maggie. She's what my father used to call (Greek phrase) stubborn as a mule. Brady - I know another Greek expression from Plato ... birds of a feather. I need to talk to you about taking some time away. Vic - Whatever you need. Brady - Thank you. Vic - This is all about you Brady; what's in your best interest. Not everyone understands that. Brady - I know. I truly am more grateful to you then you will ever know. Vic - I can't tell you how much it means to me to hear you say that. Kate is walking through the square talking to Larry on her cell when EJ calls out her name. Kate - EJ! I think I might enjoy having a stalker if it were anyone but you. EJ - I'm sorry to hear about the difficulties you're having at Mad World. Kate - What difficulties would that be? EJ - I hear you've become the victim of some sort of computer virus courtesy of our friend Nicholas Fallon. Kate - Aha. Well just how much did you see when you were spying on me. EJ - Well it was less what I saw, a little more of what I heard that got me curious. Kate - Well curiosity can kill fat cats as well. She tries to leave but EJ stands in front of her. I heard you cursing at the computer and you said I should never have listened to Samantha. Shouldn't have listened to her about what? Kate gets an incoming call from Sami. Segment 7: Kate - I should never listen to anything Sami says, that's my mantra. Actually, it should be yours. Excuse me. T puts a cup and a pot of tea in front of Gabi. Gabi - I didn't order this. T - I know. I wasn't sure what you needed more, herbal tea or a double vodka. Whatever's going on, I'm sorry. Gabi - Thanks. T - And if you need anyone to talk to ... Gabi - Tad this is just something I have to work out on my own. Kate is now in the park near the gates. Her cell rings. Sami, when I hit Ignore it doesn't mean call me back in 30 seconds. No, don't hang up now. When are you coming back from down state? Because if Nick's body washes to shore we have to hope it's not by your damned earring. You need to find it and fast. Theo and Abe are in a clearing in the park. Abe is on his cell. Theo is looking at the earring he found. Nicole is working on her laptop when Dan comes home. I think I see smoke coming off that keyboard; what's going on? Nicole - I need to talk to you about Eric. Dan - That's funny, I was about to say the same thing. Eric is with Fr. Matt at the pub. Eric - If there'd been any way to stop this video from getting out there ... FM - I know, you would have found it if you could. Eric - It's just that things move so fast these days. FM - They sure do. We've just got to accept the things we can not change but there's a second part to that serenity prayer. You have to find the courage to change the things we can. You spoke earlier of Dr. Jonas, the investigation that he's encouraged you to go ahead with. If there's anything that I or the Church can do to help ... Eric - No, thank you so much for all your support. I really appreciate it. FM - You're innocent of all this. Anyone who knows you knows that. Exonerate yourself anyway you can. Do not let Kristen get away with what she's done to you. Eric - Thank you for your compassion Father; for your counsel. I want nothing more, for the Church's sake more than mine, to clear my name. FM - I know you do. You must! Vic - Maggie's concerned about your sobriety. She thinks maybe I've pushed you over the edge. Brady - You didn't. Vic - You're feeling better about things, aren't you Brady? Brady - I feel very good. Kayla - So Jordan tells me that you're progress is remarkable. Rafe - She's been amazing. Kayla - She says the same about you. Listen, we've done some leg work and we've found you a transitional apartment for when you're discharged. Rafe - Discharged? Kayla - It's wheelchair accessible and it has all the accommodations to help you live independently. Rafe - Wow. I don't know what to say. Kayla - Well Jordan says it's going to be a couple of weeks still; we can't hold the place forever but if you're ready in a few weeks, it's vacant and it's for you. Rafe - Well hell yes! Yes, I am ready. OMG! Hey I'm getting out of here people! I'm going! OMG. I'm going to have my life back. Jordan is brushing her hair in front of a mirror. She recalls the kiss. I can't do this. She pulls out a locked box and opens it and pulls out ID's from Indiana and New Jersey and other places. She cries. |

Didn't EJ make a blunder when he said that Kristen was the only one who knew what happened that night? If he's been saying that he thinks the sex was consensual then why wouldn't Eric also know what happened? I think he showed his hand to Abe by that remark and was basically saying that Eric was drugged and therefore couldn't remember what had happened that night. |

Interesting point. I don't know if they intended it to be a mistake that will hurt EJ, but you're right about his error. That's what you get when you start telling lies. |

I would say itīs a combination of him being tall and him flirting, I donīt see him leaning that way and talking in her ear if he had been talking to a guy. If it was just about heights he could have sit on a chair.
It would be strange if Sami doesnīt find out about EJ knowing about the drugs, but I Think itīs more likely she will find out by overhearing a conversation. |

Maybe the Texas one has her true identity on it. All we saw was the pic. We don't see any of the personal info. |

But EJ basically admitted the truth to Eric when he said he wouldn't admit this in a court of law, and then went on to discuss Kristen and how Eric did not deserve what happened to him. In response to his comment to Abe, all EJ has to do is say that upon reflection he realized that the drugging allegation must be true, but realizes the only one that really knows the truth is Kristen. |

I thought he threw the truth in Brady's face too when they got into that fight and he told Brady that he had forgiven Kristen and taken her back none of this would have happened. But I don't think of these little slip ups will be brought to attention and I do think it's realistic for EJ to have them since he is lying about what he knows. |

So Jordan Ridgeway is most likely not even her real name? Hmmm. I wonder if she's a character we're supposed to know? Maybe not though. |

idk, but the fact that she had an Indiana drivers license that was not Jordan Ridgeway made me think that Salem is definitely not in Indiana (which is where I had presumed it was). |

The Loretta that Maggie was talking about would have been Isabella's mother and Brady's grandmother right? How did Maggie know about her? |
