Hope: This isn't about me.

Ladies and Gentleman, let's give her a slow clap.

Theo and Claire had very different reactions to Shawn/Lani and it kind of cracked me up.

Jade's statements really concern me. I don't think we needed another disturbed teenager. Joey needs to run away from Jade as fast as he can. Roman---just retire. Once you turn in to a dirty cop there's no going back. I am glad that Hope is going to get Ciara help. Also glad that Hope said that she's not 21 and shouldn't be drinking. The bartender was there to say he didn't serve her, but dude you were watching a minor drinking in that establishment, so maybe you should have stopped it earlier? Just a thought.
It's strange that you have to be 21 to legally drink in the United States. It's 18 in most coutries. Here in Switzerland, it's even 16 for beer, 18 for spirits.

Roman is afraid Joey is going to be haunted by what he did for a very very long time. Maybe even until the next writing change.

Director: Steven Williford
Scriptwriter: Jeanne Marie Ford



Segment 1 Ciara's birthday guests are all yelling - Drink, drink, drink and of course recording it on their phones. Hope watches Ciara chug it down straight. Ciara drops the bottle on the floor and it breaks. Ciara dances on the bar. Hope goes and shuts the sound system off. Ciara - WTH! Hope walks up to the bar. What's going on here. Ciara gets down. No one can touch me. No one can hurt me.

Shawn and Lani are at a table in the square sharing a piece of pie. Lani says it's good but she thinks his grandmother's is better. Shawn agrees. I'm sorry, we probably should have just stayed at the pub. Lani - No, I'm glad you said something. I've always had the world's worst timing. I'm sorry your ex-wife saw us kissing.

Phil walks Belle to her parent's door. I had a nice time tonight. Belle - Me too. Phil - Are you sure? Belle - Yeah why? Phil - After we walked in on Shawn and Lani I feel like you were trying to prove a point when you kissed me ... I mean to yourself. Belle I know you think you're ready to move on but it's a whole different thing being okay with him moving on. Belle - Why wouldn't I be? He needs to make a new life and so do I. She kisses him.

Steve walks in to the interrogation room as Roman is saying - Kayla, Joey just ... Steve - I got your text. What's going on? Roman - We were discussing the murder case we're building against you. Steve - Isn't that something we should talk about in private with my attorney present. Joey - Dad, it's too late. I told him everything.

Hope faces the crowd. This party is over. Go over. Grumbling. Bartender - I didn't serve her. One of her friends must have given it to her. Claire tells Ciara - We're not going anywhere. Hope - We had an understanding, did we not? You're 18, not 21. You're breaking the law Ciara. You told me I didn't have to worry even after the last time I caught you drinking. I trusted you. Ciara looks at the broken glass and starts to move towards it. Hope grabs her arm - No, don't, you'll hurt yourself. Theo - I got it. Claire - I'll go get a broom.

Steve - Roman, whatever Joe told you ... Joe - DAD! Steve - He was not a witness to anything that happened in that hospital room because when he came in Ava was already dead. I killed her and I'm not sorry. Now Joe is just trying to protect me and I love you for it son but I am 100% percent responsible for what happened. Roman - Save it for the judge. Kayla - Roman ... Roman - I mean it. I have no intention of arresting Joey for Ava's murder.


Segment 2 Roman - So listen close alright. Here's what we're going to do. We're all going to pretend this conversation never happened. Do you hear me Joey? Joe - Uncle Roman, you don't understand. My Dad's the one who's lying. Why do you think you found my blood in the room! Roman gets in his face - Joey, just stop. Stop! I know very well what kind of woman Ava was; how she manipulated you in order to get to your parents. Joe - But I'm the one who let her ... Roman - ? in that situation. I will not let this ruin your life. Kayla - Thank you Roman. Roman - So whatever went down in that hospital room, whatever happened, in the end your Dad is responsible, just like he said. This began with him years ago. It will end with him too.

Phil and Belle go inside the townhouse. Belle - Hi Mom. Silence. Mom, what's wrong?

Shawn - There's nothing wrong with your timing. I could care less that Belle saw us. Lani - Than why did you want to leave? Shawn - It's Philip. He gets under my skin, he always has but he's her problem now, not mine. As long as he doesn't interfere with my daughter Belle can do whatever the hell she wants. Lani - Okay then. Shawn - About that kiss, let me show you how much I don't regret it. He kisses her.

Hope thanks Theo and Claire. I'd like to speak to Ciara alone. Claire and Theo leave. Ciara - I feel sick. Hope - I'll get you some water. Ciara - No, stay with me. I didn't even drink that much. I just feel sick from ever since ... Hope - Oh baby. Ciara - Mom, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I know that you trusted me and I wasn't even going to drink. I thought this party was going to help me forget and ... it was too hard to pretend. Hope - Baby you don't need to pretend. Honey you can't pretend. You have to face it. This horrible thing happened to you. Ciara - I don't want to talk about it. Hope - You have to. As painful as it is it happened. It's not going to go away and as much as I want to take away all of your pain ... I would if I could but I can't. Ciara you need help honey, professional help and we're going to get that for you.


Segment 3 Phil - I'll leave you two alone to talk. Marlena - No that isn't necessary really. Belle walks Philip to the door. Phil - I'll call you tomorrow. Belle closes the door. Mom, what is going on? Marlena - Honey there's nothing for you to worry about. Belle - How can I not worry. I haven't seen you this upset since ... Marlena - Alright. Look I didn't want to tell you this in case I didn't have to. I didn't want to tell Brady because he's still recovering. Belle - Tell me what. Marlena - Arianna and I were taken from the square today. Belle - You mean like kidnapped? Marlena - We're both okay. Everybody's fine but your Dad was trying to rescue us and something went wrong. Belle - OMG, is he hurt? Marlena - In fact Rafe's father was shot but he's going to be all right. Belle - And Dad? Marlena - Well Dad was taken. Belle - Taken where? Who has him? Marlena - We think it's the organization he's been trying to fight for most of his life and we think we know where they have him. Belle - Okay, what are we waiting for? Marlena - As soon as Rafe tells us it's safe to go we're going to go and get him back. Belle - Safe. We're going to go get him back. You're not going! Marlena - Oh yes I am.

Claire and Theo are walking in the square. Claire - How can I be such an idiot! Theo - What do you mean? Claire - Why did I make such a big deal when Henry asked about Chase. I should have just changed the subject instead I went off on him when he's the last person Ciara wants to be thinking about. Theo - Well I'm pretty sure she can't avoid that. Claire - And than there was the song. I was hoping it would make her see how strong she is but it just made her all emotional. Theo - No it made everyone emotional. Claire it's beautiful. Claire - No, I made it about me instead of thinking about what Ciara really needed. I just feel like I ruined her party. Theo - It wasn't just you. Claire - Yeah I didn't give her the tequila but ... Theo - Look Chase is the one who ruined everything okay. All we can do is be there. He recalls Ciara kissing him. I just want everything to be okay. Maybe I shouldn't have called her Mom. Claire - Wait, you did ... no, that was the right call, it was. Theo - I didn't know how to help her. I hope her Mom can.

Hope - Come on. Ciara - I don't want to. Hope - I know it's hard. Ciara please, you need to talk to someone. You can't keep this inside. It's not healthy. It's not ... Ciara - Okay, okay. Hope - Okay. Ciara - I know I shouldn't feel ashamed but I can't help it. Hope - Honey ... Ciara. Ciara - I liked Chase. I thought he was cute and I liked that he liked me. Hope - You did nothing wrong. Ciara - But I hate that I felt that way. How could I have trusted him! How could I have had those feelings! Hope - I've asked myself that same question so many times. Ciara - About Chase's Dad? I know, I'm sorry. You've been through a lot yourself and all of this is just bringing ... Hope - Stop. Stop. Stop. This isn't about me. This is about helping you to heal and making sure that you understand that what happened is in no way a reflection on what a wonderful person you are and always have been. Ciara - It's so hard to be strong. Hope - Baby you are strong but you need to be honest with yourself and to the people who love you. Ciara - Thank you for understanding. Hope - I'd give anything to take away your pain. Anything. Ciara - I know. They hug and cry together.

Joe - If you're not going to listen to me than I'll find somebody who will. Steve - No you will not. Joe - Where's Aunt Hope? Roman - She's not here. Joe - Than I'll find someone I don't know; someone who actually cares about the truth because I'm not letting my Dad go to prison for something I did. Roman - Joey, why do you think your Dad did this? You are just starting your life. Something like this on your record will destroy your entire future. You don't need jail time, you need counselling. Kayla - I'll make sure he gets that. Roman - That anger that you're feeling inside, I get it. I understand where that's coming from but what you need to do is learn how to control that so that nothing like this ever happens again. Joe - I know. Roman - If there's any kind of justice at all your Dad will beat these charges. Joe - I'm a kid. The judge will go easier on me. Roman - You don't know that and your Dad is not going to take his story back. Steve - That's right, I'm not. So bottom line Joey if you come forward now your Dad will face perjury charges too. Kayla - Listen to your Uncle, please. Come on, let's go home. Joe - You've decided for me. Steve - That's right. Joe - I'm the one who finally does something to get Ava out of our lives and now I can't do anything on my own because you're treating me like a child. Steve - You are a child. Joe takes off. Steve goes after him.


Segment 4 Claire - Maybe we should just go back and maybe we should tell my Grandma this was all my fault. Theo - But it's not. Claire - I don't know how much more Ciara can take. If her Mom's mad at her too ... Theo - I think Hope is sad just like me are. Theo looks behind Claire. Claire turns - OMG. Is that your sister with my Dad? Theo - When did that happen! Claire - I don't know. Wow. I knew my Mom was all about moving on but I thought my Dad still wanted to work things out.

Belle - Mom, are you crazy! I can't even believe Rafe and Steve would say you could go with them. Marlena - They didn't. I didn't ask. Belle - Well you can't. Marlena - Your father risked his life to save me. Belle - He was an ISA agent. You're a ... Marlena - I'm a trained professional. I have dealt with hostage situations before and I am not going to sit around here and do nothing. Belle - Mom, listen to me ... Marlena - You listen to me! You can not talk me out of this. Nobody can.

Steve follows Joe through the gates into the park. Joe, wait. Joe - I don't want to talk about this. Steve - That's good because it's done. Joe yells - I can't keep lying. Steve snaps - You have to! Joe - How am I supposed to live with myself knowing you went to prison for something that I did. All that time that you were away I was so angry that you were away from your family but now if you leave it's because of me. Steve - Okay but all those years that I was away you needed a father to stand up for you. Let me be that father I should have been all those years. Joe this is on me. I'm responsible for bringing Ava into our lives. Her death is on me. Joe - But I did so many stupid things. I can't forgive myself. Steve - I understand but the worst thing you could do right now is to break your Mother's heart and that's what would happen if you go on trial. Joe, listen, I've got to leave town to take care of something. A good friend is in trouble. Joe - Who? Steve - I'm sorry I can't talk about it but I can't go if you're going to be a loose cannon. Now if it helps it's going to be a long time before this case goes to trial. Just trust me when I say it's going to work out. In the meantime I need you to keep your head down and keep your mouth shut. Can you promise me you'll do that?

Kayla - Roman, I don't know how to thank you. I know what you're putting on the line to keep Joey's secret. Roman - What secret? We're not talking about this anymore. Kayla - You're the boss. I just appreciate the sacrifice you took. Roman - You know what sis, I've been doing this a long time, this law and order thing and I have come to acknowledge to accept the fact that sometimes there are different ways to make sure that justice is done.

Hope - It's been a long night. Let's get you home baby. Ciara - When can we go home home? Hope - Soon. Sweetheart ... Ciara - Every time I walk into Jennifer's house I feel like I'm going to throw up. I stare at the ceiling all night. After what happened there I can't get him out of my mind. Hope tries to hug her - You know he can't hurt you now, right? Ciara backs away. Yeah. Part of me wishes I would have hurt him when I had the chance so he wouldn't do this to anyone else. Now it's too late because I called you and I got him arrested which was the right thing to do. What if he gets out Mom? Hope - We have a really strong case honey. Ciara - I didn't go to the hospital when it first happened. They have no evidence. It's just my word against his confession. Hope - It's okay. I talked to him. He isn't going to recant, I promise. Ciara - But no matter what I have to go on trial which is going to be really hard. It doesn't matter anymore 'cause than he'll get away with it. Hope - Hey I'm going to be there with you, right beside you and you're brave. Hey you are. Ciara cries - No I am not. When he was in that warehouse I wish I was brave enough to ... Hope - Brave enough to what? Ciara - Kill him so I never have to feel afraid again. Hope - I don't ever want to hear you say that again. You did the right thing. You called me. Chase will answer for his crime in a court of law Ciara. Ciara - Juries let people off all the time. Look at the DiMera's. Hope snaps - We are not ... do not compare us to the DiMera's. We are nothing like that. If you'd ever do anything that violent I swear to God the guilt that you'd feel never goes away. Ciara - How do you know? Mom, is it something that you did!


Segment 5 Kayla - If there was real justice Ava would have been behind bars and none of this would have happened. Roman - Damn it. I am so sorry we didn't lock her up that night. Kayla - I couldn't do that but what makes me so crazy is that after everything she's done to our family, that she's done to Steve he can't claim self-defence. The jury might think that he ... that it was a crime of passion. Roman - You and Steve, are you trying to work through things? Kayla - I can't think about that right now. My only real concern is Joey. My God, he took another person's life. I don't care what the circumstances were. I don't care how much he was provoked. How's he going to deal with that in his life; the trauma, the guilt. Roman - It's going to be rough, very rough. No doubt about that. Kayla - My other concern is Steve not going to jail. Roman - Kay, if Steve is convicted ... Kayla - Don't even say that. Roman - You know I just wish to hell I could make this all go away for you. Kayla - Just knowing you're on our side, that means everything to me. I don't know what would have happened if Joey had gone to any other person in this precinct. Roman - I'm not sure how much I actually helped him. I'm afraid Joey is going to be haunted by what he did for a very, very long time. I love you sis, I love you. He leaves the room.

Joe - I can't do this to Mom and I'm not going to be the reason you can't help your friend. Steve - So you won't be talking to be anybody else, right? Joe nods. Steve - Good. Joe - Dad, should I be worried? I mean this sounds dangerous. Steve - No I'm not worried. I'm working with law enforcement on this. I'll be back before you even know I'm gone but I'm trusting you to keep it together. Joe - You probably want me to lock myself inside the house. Steve - No. Joe I know you're in a tight spot. I know you're hurting but what Ava did to us was sick and sadistic and she was going to stop at nothing to destroy our family. You knew that and you couldn't take it so YOU protected our family. That's what I'm trying to do for you now. I hope someday you can accept that. Steve hugs him. Love you son. You're a good man. He leaves.

Belle - What if something happens to you. Brady and Paul don't even know Dad's in danger. You ... Marlena - You are not going to tell them. Belle shrieks - Are you kidding me! I can't believe you didn't tell me. Marlena - Just give me tonight okay. If all goes according to plan your father will be home by morning. Belle - And if he isn't? Marlena - You just have to have a little faith.

Hope - Honey every cop's worst nightmare is to take a life, innocent or guilty. It haunts you forever. Ciara - Mom have you ever done that. Hope recalls shooting Stefano.


Segment 6 Phil is sitting at the bar of the Brady Pub having a drink. Roman comes in and sits at the end of the bar. Phil - Rough night? Roman - I've had better.

Steve goes into the interrogation room - Still here. Kayla - I was on my out but Stephanie called. Steve - How's our Stephanie doing? Kayla - She's good. She sends her love. Steve - You didn't tell her. Kayla - I lied. Pretty scary how good I'm getting at that. I hope it's not all for nothing. Steve - I'm pretty sure I got through to Joe. Kayla - You know if he had gone to any other officer here I ... Steve - He promised me he'd keep quiet. It's going to be hard for him. He's so tortured with regret and guilt. I mean how could he not be at his age ... at any age, to take a life no matter what the circumstances. But I think he finally understands that what we're doing is best for everyone. Kayla - I hope so.

Joey is in the square. Jade walks up to him. Hey, how come you weren't at Ciara's party tonight. Joe - How come you're not at Ciara's party now? Jade - Her Mom came, you didn't miss much. Joe - Sorry it was lame. Jade - You didn't answer my question. Joe - Well you didn't give me a chance. I was at the police station. Jade - You didn't turn yourself in, did you? Joe - I tried but I couldn't do that right just like I can't do anything right because the only thing I'm good at is killing people. Jade laughs. Joe - You think that's funny. Jade - Just a tad. You sound like the Godfather. It seems like the only thing I'm good at is killing people. She laughs again.

Hope - Ciara I want to talk to you about something. Claire and Theo walk up. Claire - I hope we're not interrupting. Theo - We saw the lights were still on. Claire - We wanted to make sure everything was okay. Hope - First of all I want to thank you for being such good friends. And secondly of course there will be consequences for tonight. I'll be calling your parents to let them know what happened. Claire - Yeah I figured. Ciara - Mom I was the only one that drank. Hope - Who gave you the alcohol. Ciara - Nobody you know. Hope - But I will. You know what, let's deal with all of this in the morning. Let's go home okay. Ciara - Mom, can I please stay at Claire's tonight. I know you don't have any reason to trust me but I can't stay at Jennifer's, not tonight. Hope - Claire would that be okay? Claire - Yeah of course. Hope strokes Claire's hair - Hey, thanks for looking out for her. Ciara hugs her Mom - Thank you.


Segment 7 Claire - Oh my gosh I almost forgot about the presents. Ciara - Hey Theo, I'm really sorry. Theo - For what? Ciara - For earlier, when I kissed you. That was truly inappropriate. Theo - Why, I'm not complaining. Claire - Ciara, this is truly heavy. Ciara - I'll help you. She grabs some gifts. Hope - Theo, thank you so much for calling me tonight. Theo - Yeah I wasn't sure if I was doing the right thing. Hope - You were. Theo - Is Ciara ... is she ever going to be okay again? Hope - She will be. It'll just take time. You're a good friend Theo. You really care for her. Theo - Yeah I really do.

Jade - I'm glad you're such a total failure at turning yourself in. I have been on some pretty weird dates but never with a guy I can only see through a glass partition. Joe - Who says we're dating? Jade - Come on. We both know it's going to happen. Why don't you ask me out already? Joe - I thought you said you were trying to be careful about the people you hang with. Remember, I'm the guy who killed the woman he was crazy about. Jade - Yeah, crazy woman. Joe - If you're looking for a quality boyfriend you should probably look somewhere else. Jade - Maybe I like that you're so screwed up. Joe - You're not freaked out? You're not scared of me? Jade - Honestly I think it's kind of exciting; not that she's dead or that your Dad's in trouble but you're exciting. Kind of noir-ish. Joe - What ish? Jade - Wow, it looks like I've got a lot to teach you. She kisses him.

Phil - Every cop I've run into lately seems to be in a bad mood. Maybe they need to add a little yoga and mediation to the academy curriculum. Roman - Maybe true. I've got my eyes on you Philip. Phil - Lucky me. Roman - I understand you're seeing Belle. Phil - What's it to you? Roman - Even though she's divorcing my nephew she's still family and it doesn't make me happy to hear that you may or may not be in the pocket of Deimos Kiriakis. Phil - Who told you that? Roman - Who cares? You've got much bigger things to worry about. Roman finishes his drink and leaves.

Belle - You look professional. Mom I really think ... Marlena snaps - Belle I've got to do this. Belle - What if something happens. Is somebody going to call me. Who do I call? Marlena - The police will notify you if it's necessary. Ooh, I love you. Belle - And I love you. Marlena - I'll be home with your Father. She leaves.

Kayla - Are you still going to find John? Steve - Yeah I'm just waiting for the go from Rafe. Kayla - Okay. Steve - Sweetness. Kayla - Don't call me that. Steve - I can't call you anything else. Listen, we're going to bring John home. Nobody's getting hurt, I promise. Kayla - You can't promise that. Steve - Hey come on, you know me baby. I'm a tomcat, nine lives, remember. I love you. They kiss. Kayla - You better come back. She leaves.

I literally walked into the livingroom & saw Mar wagging her finger & telling Belle "Listen to me!" and sat my ass down. No BS - she scared the hell out of me with that look & tone.

Well she'll have good company. I'm pretty sure John is seconds away from being grounded by Jigsaw.

The Grandma Hope stuff wasn't bothering me before, but it's getting ridiculous. She'll call Claire's parents? Well good. I'd like them to acknowledge each other.
