document: Carly: [Grunts] Where am I?
  Gus: Six feet under. Bring back memories?
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Victor: Why do you want to ask me about Vivian?
  Hope: Because I'm worried she's up to something.
  Victor: Vivian's always up to something. She craves attention.
  Hope: So the Kiriakis take is Vivian is flighty, perhaps even unbalanced, but no real threat.
  Victor: Boy, you're right back into that cop thing, aren't you?
  Hope: I'm not so sure Carly and Kate would agree Vivian is no real threat.
  Victor: Yeah, well, I'm not gonna lose any sleep over either one of them.
  Hope: As a matter of fact, you kind of goad her on, don't you? Making Kate share Philip with her is, well... it's your idea of fun, right?
  Victor: Kate has literally made her bed.
  Hope: What if Vivian actually hurts someone you love? Say Philip.
  Victor: She wouldn't. She loves Philip.
  Hope: I'm not saying she'd hurt him directly. But what if something happened to, say, Melanie? He'd be devastated, wouldn't he?
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  [Door opens]
  Nathan: Hey, I'm glad I caught you.
  Maggie: Hmm.
  Nathan: I thought you'd be dressed by now.
  Maggie: I'm not going.
  Nathan: What?
  Maggie: What are you doing here?
  Nathan: Just brought the information by about where I'll be. You have my cell. What do you mean you're not going? Why?
  Maggie: Well, I want this to be a perfect day for Melanie. And I--I don't want to bring everyone else down.
  Nathan: You know she wants you there more than anybody else in the world.
  Maggie: Well, I can't! Okay?
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Vivian: Oh, don't cry, dear. We'll have to do your makeup all over again.
  Melanie: This is all my fault.
  Arianna: What can we do?
  Vivian: Oh, no, don't be silly.
  Melanie: Look what I was asking Maggie to do. Come to my wedding on her anniversary with Mickey. She said she was sick.
  Vivian: Now...she'll stay home and have a cup of tea. Now about your hair--
  Melanie: I need to be alone for a minute.
  Vivian: But, darling, we don't have time for that.
  Arianna: Yeah, we do have time for that. Let's go, come on. Be right outside, honey.
  Vivian: Very forceful woman.
  Stephanie: Hey, let me know if you need anything, okay?
  Melanie: Yeah, she loved Mickey so much. They had a great marriage.
  Stephanie: I know.
  Melanie: That's all that I want. Yes. A great marriage. Nathan...
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Gus: Do you have a vague feeling of déja vu?
  Carly: Oh, my God. I've been buried alive. No. Nooo!
  Gus: This isn't literally a coffin, but you are six feet underground. And you can't get out.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Chloe: [Whispering] Wake up.
  Daniel: Hey. Man, you smell good.
  Chloe: Hmm, thank you.
  Daniel: You got like some cinnamon body oil on you? What is this?
  Chloe: No. I made you these. When you were sleeping, I just decided to pop some buns in the oven.
  Daniel: No, you didn't. You don't bake. I didn't think you knew where that oven was.
  Chloe: Ha. You know, there's a lot of things about me that you don't know. And there's a lot of things that I've never done that I'm gonna start doing.
  Daniel: Thank God.
  [Both laugh]
  Daniel: Well, like what? What, exactly?
  Chloe: Well, for starters, I'm gonna give up caffeine and alcohol.
  Daniel: Yeah, right. Mmm, god, but don't stop making these. These are delicious.
  Chloe: Okay. And speaking of buns in the oven...
  Daniel: We are?
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Melanie: Stephanie.
  Stephanie: Yes?
  Melanie: Hey, um...
  Stephanie: What's up?
  Melanie: Can I ask you a favor?
  Stephanie: Yeah, what is it?
  Melanie: Will you give this to Nathan for me?
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Vivian: You know, brides tend to be a bit emotional. It's not a good idea to coddle them.
  Arianna: Hmm. Yeah, I'm gonna go see how the groom is doing. Get a little air.
  Vivian: Oh, is she ready yet?
  Stephanie: Not quite. I have to run an errand for her.
  Arianna: Oh, I'll go with you.
  Stephanie: Great.
  Arianna: Okay.
  Vivian: Uh...don't worry about a thing. I have everything under control. [Forced chuckle] Oh.
  [Cell phone ringing]
  Vivian: The fun begins.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Carly: Where am I?
  Gus: [Chuckles] This is called the cannery building on First Street. They don't build them like this anymore. Walls six feet thick. Totally soundproof.
  Carly: Why did you bring me here?
  Gus: I'll let someone else explain that. An old friend of yours.
  Vivian: Hello, Carly. Welcome to my hideaway.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Chloe: Yeah, how do you feel about--what's November? It's Scorpio, right? How do you feel about Scorpios?
  Daniel: Chloe.
  Chloe: Ah, they're a little intense, but with you as a daddy, I think it'll be okay.
  Daniel: Me as a--as a daddy?
  Chloe: Yes, and I know that you're a scientist, so here's the proof. Here...and here...
  Daniel: Positive.
  Chloe: And here.
  Daniel: Positive.
  Chloe: And here.
  Daniel: Okay.
  Chloe: We are gonna have a baby.
  Daniel: [Laughing] I know we are. Mmm.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Victor: What's Melanie got to do with this?
  Hope: I think you know exactly what Melanie might have to do with this.
  Victor: Ah, I see. You've been talking to Kate. You bought into her conspiracy theory. And for some bizarre reason, Vivian is out to hurt Melanie. Of course, all of Vivian's reasons are bizarre.
  Hope: We both know what Vivian's done in the past.
  Victor: Listen to me very carefully, Hope. Vivian lives under my roof. Whatever goes on under my roof is under my control. Vivian is not going to hurt Melanie. Trust me. Just not gonna happen.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Kate: Ohh, I cannot believe I am going back to that house. I thought I had said good-bye to all that Greek mush on a cracker that Victor thinks is a canapé.
  Stefano: Ah.
  Lucas: Oh, glad I caught you. Don't you look nice, Stefano? You going somewhere?
  Kate: What are you-- we are going to a wedding. What are you doing here? You're the best man.
  Lucas: That's right, and I'm here in that official capacity to tell you that I'm gonna make sure this wedding goes off without a hitch. Or else.
  Stefano: Or else what, Lucas? I don't think you have anything to back that threat up.
  Lucas: You know, if something does go wrong, you won't be the one who pays. You will.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Nathan: I'm just gonna call Stephanie then.
  Maggie: No, I've already-- Melanie knows I'm not coming.
  Nathan: No, I need to call her and let her know we're not going on our trip.
  Maggie: What?
  Nathan: You don't really think I'm gonna leave you here like this, do you?
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Vivian: I hope Gus made you feel at home. I can't see you, but I can hear you.
  Carly: What are you doing now, Vivian?
  Vivian: Savoring a moment I've been waiting for, after what I heard what you did to Lawrence.
  Carly: So you didn't have the guts to kill me yourself? You sent in the hired help?
  Vivian: Who said anything about killing you?
  Carly: You're an eye-for-an-eye kind of gal, Vivian. We both know that.
  Vivian: Oh, that's true, but you didn't kill me. You killed someone I loved.
  Carly: No.
  Vivian: Do you know who's in there, getting ready for her walk down the aisle?
  Carly: No!
  Vivian: Yes. Your little baby girl. Getting ready for the happiest day of her life. And the last day of her life.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Daniel: Mmm.
  Chloe: Mmm.
  Daniel: [Whispers] Wait a second. So you are really pregnant, like--like you-- we're really having, like, a baby baby?
  Chloe: Yes, yes, yes. I couldn't believe it, either. First, I wasn't gonna tell you because I know that early on in a pregnancy, things could, uh-- you know what? I'm not even gonna think that.
  Daniel: Don't do it. Don't.
  Chloe: Ohh. So you're happy?
  Daniel: I am over-the-moon happy.
  Chloe: Oh, good, because I didn't think that you wanted to talk about it, and I thought that maybe you changed your mind about having kids.
  Daniel: No, no, I didn't want you to think I'd be disappointed if we didn't have a kid. No, I am... look, I am happier than I ever imagined I would be. All right? This little thing right here, this--this--this here is a little bonus round right here.
  Chloe: Hmm. Well, he or she is gonna be very lucky to have you as a dad.
  Daniel: Yeah? And you as a mom.
  Chloe: Maybe.
  Daniel: Mmm. Should we call your folks, I mean...
  Chloe: Uh, no. You know what? I want to keep it a secret at first.
  Daniel: Yeah? All right, we'll keep it a secret.
  Chloe: Okay.
  Daniel: It'll be a really, really great secret.
  Chloe: Mmm. I don't think I've ever been so happy.
  Daniel: Me either.
  Chloe: Mmm.
  Daniel: Mmm.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Maggie: Oh, come on, don't do this. You can't cancel your trip with Stephanie because of me.
  Nathan: You want to bet?
  Maggie: You have to go. I mean, I couldn't stand it if I ruined this for you.
  Nathan: I know.
  Maggie: That's blackmail.
  Nathan: Kind of. Tough day, isn't it? Your anniversary. Must be hard having to go to a wedding without him. You two were a couple for a long time.
  Maggie: [Sobbing] I just... I wouldn't be any good to Melanie...today, I... I just can't shake this, Nathan. I just don't feel...
  Nathan: Do you think that Melanie doesn't already know you're sad? Do you think she wants you to fake or pretend how you feel? No. I mean, she along with a hell of a lot of other people just want you there. Hey, you on your worst day have done more good for Melanie than anyone she's ever know, ever. I mean, you've gotten more people through more crap than anyone I've ever known.
  Maggie: [Laughs] Well, maybe when I had Mickey.
  Nathan: You still do. All you gotta to do is show up. And he'll handle the rest. Right? He'll be with you, by your side, the entire night through.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Stephanie: Hey, Maxine. Something wrong?
  Maxine: I don't like it when I don't know where my patients are. That orderly from radiology took her without telling me. What are you doing here? And I love those shoes.
  Stephanie: [Laughs] Thank you. Um, I have something for Nathan, but I don't see him around.
  Maxine: Oh...well, he's on break right now. Should be back in a minute. Want me to give it to him?
  Stephanie: No, no. I'll--I'll wait.
  Maxine: Okay. Well, I'm off to tear a certain orderly from radiology a new one.
  Stephanie: [Chuckling] [Whispers] Thank you. So, Melanie, what was so damn important?
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Hope: So you swear Vivian isn't going to do anything? And you're handling this by what? Remote control?
  Victor: You know, it's very short-sighted to think the general has to be in the foxhole.
  Hope: Well, you're not exactly at command central. You're at the Brady pub, drinking vodka.
  Victor: Hope, believe me, everything is in hand.
  Hope: Aren't you worried about whatever it is Vivian doesn't want any of us to know about?
  Victor: I saw it. Very beautiful, very delicate. Melanie's gonna love it. Do you think Vivian has read Medea? Medea gave Glauce a poisoned golden cloak that melted her skin when she put it on.
  Hope: I don't think this is funny, Victor.
  Victor: This...is a non-starter. Melanie's gonna be fine. Bet on it.
  [Door closes]
  Hope: Oh, Victor... you forgot your bag.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Vivian: Do you feel any better?
  Melanie: Yeah, I guess so.
  Vivian: Well, you look gorgeous. And now...for the piece de la resistance...
  Carly: No!
  Vivian: Perfection.
  Carly: That's it?
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Hope: Now I get it.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Lucas: All right, mission accomplished. Mom won't be pulling any stunts tonight.
  Philip: Thank you.
  Lucas: Yeah.
  Philip: Thank you.
  Lucas: You don't got a thing to worry about.
  Philip: [Laughing]
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Melanie's voice: Dear Nathan, I'm sorry, but I can't get you out of my mind. I just need to know once and for all if you still have feelings for me, because if there's any chance for us... I can't marry Philip. If I don't hear back from you, that'll be my answer. But I need to know, Nathan. A part of me will always love you. Melanie.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Carly: You're not gonna get away with this. I was on to her. I left messages all over town.
  Gus: And no one's done a thing. She's going down. The baby girl's going down, and there's nothing you can do about it...Madam. Uhh!
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Vivian: It's showtime, darling.
  Melanie: I don't really feel very good.
  Vivian: So soon? I-I mean...you don't?
  Melanie: Mm-mmm.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Victor: Son, in many ways, marriage is like a leaky canoe.
  Philip: For one day, just one day, could you act like a normal father?
  Victor: Yeah, the two of you can paddle like hell. And you still sink.
  Philip: What happened to the, "I just want this to be a wonderful day for you, son; nothing's gonna ruin it for you"?
  Victor: What happened to your sense of humor?
  [Cell phone ringing]
  Philip: [Sighs] I've got to get this. Yeah? What the hell?
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Vivian: What you need to do is focus. There's a very handsome young man downstairs who's waiting for the woman of his dreams. So I think you should just pull yourself together and go get married. Hmm?
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Hope: You're sure about that? Okay. Thank you. Well, Bo, your father's at it again.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Carly: Uhh! [Screaming]
  Gus: [Choking]
  Carly: [Coughs and gasps] [Whispers] Okay. All right, think, Manning, think. Think this through. [Breathing hard]
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Melanie: I'm feeling a little better.
  Vivian: Oh, good. Just a case of pre-wedding jitters.
  Melanie: Um, Vivian, could you go downstairs and make sure everything is...on schedule?
  Vivian: Oh, I don't know. Do you think I should leave you alone?
  Melanie: Yes, I will be fine.
  Vivian: All right. Maybe I'll go down and have a nice glass of Victor's exquisite champagne. Now that your hair is done, there's no need for me to be here anymore. Memorable, memorable day. Mwah.
  Melanie: Ugh. Might be a tad more memorable than you think. Um... dearly beloved, there's not gonna be a wedding today. Sorry, Philip. You don't mind, do you? It's just Nathan and I have some, uh, some unfinished business. Or do we? Ah, you should have gotten that letter by now. [Sighs]
  [Knock on door]
  Melanie: Nathan.
  Arianna: Hey!
  Brady: Hello.
  Arianna: Did I just see Vivian again?
  Brady: Nice dress. Is there a special occasion today--what's going on?
  Melanie: You're so funny.
  Arianna: Honey... are you okay?
  Melanie: I don't really know what's going on...right now.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Carly: [Sobbing] No! No, she's dead!
  Vivian: Philip's young. He'll get over it. But Carly never will.
  [Cell phone ringing]
  Vivian: "Trouble with Carly. Come quick." Damn! You want something done right, you've got to do it yourself. [Sharp sigh]
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Carly: [Whispering] Okay. Bo, I need you. Cannery on First Street. Basement. Need...backup. Vivian...is...coming.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Victor: Now what?
  Philip: That was the justice of the peace's office. He has the flu.
  Victor: You know, the other day, I was feeling kind of achy.
  Philip: I don't care. If there's no justice of the peace, there's no wedding!
  Kate: No wedding?
  Philip: She's here, isn't she?
  Victor: Yes, and she's brought the new husband. What a cute couple.
  Philip: You just had to bring him, didn't you? You just have to push the envelope.
  Stefano: You should be overjoyed to see me. I can help you, you see? Look who's here to save the day.
  Victor: For once he's right, son. You got nothing to worry about.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Nathan: Hey. You're early.
  Stephanie: Actually, I...
  Nathan: You look...great. Has the wedding already happened yet, or... you know, actually, don't say anything about the wedding. Or Melanie or anything that doesn't have to do with our trip.
  Stephanie: But...
  Nathan: But...nothing, all right? You know, I have zero tolerance for ex- girlfriends right now.
  Stephanie: Okay.
  Nathan: Okay. Good. Wait, why are you here? Is everything all right?
  Stephanie: Yeah, I, uh, I left some paperwork I need to process, so I ran down here. But now I'm running late, so--
  Nathan: Oh, sorry.
  Stephanie: No, no, it's great, great. Um, I'm gonna go get that wedding started. Um...I'm sorry. That thing I have to do. And then we are off to the best vacation ever.
  Nathan: Hmm. Yeah. Right.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Justin: I don't think we have to worry. When I got here, I saw Vivian drive away.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Will: It's time for an ally-oop! And slam dunk!
  Maggie: [Giggles]
  Mia: That locket is so pretty.
  Maggie: Oh. You know what? I wasn't sure I was gonna wear it; it's a little old-fashioned.
  Mia: No, it's not. I love it.
  Maggie: I love it too. What, Will?
  Will: Oh, just thinking about, um...Uncle Mickey. You know? How he used to look at you, and then he'd say, "Ahem, so, Red, who gave you that gorgeous locket?"
  Maggie: Hmm. And I would say, "You did Mickey, and you know it."
  Will: Yes, and then he would say..."Damn...I have good taste."
  [Both laugh]
  Maggie: Did I ever tell you about the time we were at a wedding... oh...oh, my. Might have been one of your mother's. I'm sorry. Anyway, Mickey decided it wasn't lively enough, so he went out into the kitchen and he started banging on pots and pans. He was like a one-man marching band. [Laughter] He was just crazy.
  Lucas: Look at her. She seems good, doesn't she?
  Justin: Yeah, she does.
  Lucas: You know what? I think I'll call Nathan. He was worried about her. Let her know she's okay.
  Justin: I wonder if she knows how many people are worried about her?
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Brady: Uh, maybe--maybe I should go downstairs and see if Lexie is here.
  Melanie: No, no, no. I don't want Philip to think anything's wrong.
  Brady: Melanie, what if something is wrong?
  Melanie: Nothing is wrong. I'm just being stupid and getting worked up over nothing.
  Arianna: Well, it can't have helped to have that crazy woman hanging out here all day long. Can't she play with friends her own age?
  Brady: Crazy? Who we talking about here?
  Melanie: She's talking about Vivian. She's in here trying to help with the wedding. She can be, uh, a little pushy.
  Arianna: A little? How'd you get her to go?
  Melanie: I don't know. Once she got this comb in my hair, it was pretty easy to get her to leave.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Vivian: This better be important, or somebody doesn't get wedding cake. Gus?
  Carly: Actually, he's a little "tied up" at the moment.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Philip: We're really in a bind here, Abe.
  Lexie: Philip, of course Abe will marry you.
  Abe: Sure, that's no problem. You know, I told Myron to get a flu shot.
  Lexie: Honey.
  Kate: That went well. May I say how handsome you look?
  Philip: I'd better go see if Lucas has the ring.
  Victor: I don't know what has happened to that son of ours. I mean, didn't even say thank you for coming, Stefano?
  Stefano: Oh, well, I'm sure he's got other things on his mind.
  Victor: Why don't I see if I can track down Vivian? We can get some champagne, have a nice little chin-wag.
  Stefano: Mm-hmm.
  Kate: Hmm. He's going to search for Vivian.
  Stefano: Well...good luck with that.
  Kate: At least there's one thing I can enjoy about this wedding. [Chuckles]
  Stefano: Yes.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Nathan: Good, good, good. Uh, thanks for letting me know, Lucas. And she looks --she looks good, right, she seems fine? All right, thanks. No, no, no, no. I'm not gonna-- I'm--I'm on duty and I have to take off after. Ah, she's-- she's cool. Um, Melanie completely understands.
  Daniel: Really? You find it necessary to see me to my floor?
  Chloe: Yeah, I just don't want the father of my baby to get lost.
  Daniel: Are you ever gonna call me Daniel again, ever?
  Chloe: Mm, I don't know. I kind of like the sound of "father of my child."
  Daniel: Shh. I thought you didn't want anyone to know yet.
  Chloe: Uhh, I'm a pregnant woman. I'm full of contradictions.
  Daniel: Yeah. [Laughs]
  Chloe: I really wish you didn't have to work. And I really wish I didn't have to go to this wedding.
  Daniel: Yeah, but I do and you do. But tonight, know what we could do? We could light a fire, engage in all sorts of contradictions. And start picking out baby names.
  Chloe: Oh, really? You know what? They're already picked out.
  Daniel: Really? Really? Well, you want to tell me what my kid's name is gonna be?
  Chloe: Mm, I think I'm gonna tell you in about 8 1/2 months.
  Daniel: You are such a tease.
  Chloe: [Chuckles] Okay, bye.
  Daniel: A hot tease. Uh-huh. Looks like you threw in the towel.
  Nathan: What?
  Daniel: Well, as far as I know Layton-Kiriakis wedding is still going on as planned.
  Nathan: Why shouldn't it?
  Daniel: You.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Arianna: Hey, you upset? You're not telling me something?
  Melanie: I'm just--I haven't eaten today. I think maybe I'm just a little hungry.
  Arianna: Okay. What can I get you?
  Melanie: Um...
  [Knock on door]
  Stephanie: Hey, I'm back.
  Melanie: Hey, you know what? I think that's it. So if you and Brady could maybe get, like, some crackers. Or, like, fruit?
  Arianna: We are on it.
  Brady: Okay. Take it easy too. It's just a wedding.
  Arianna: Just a wedding? He's such a guy.
  Melanie: You're funny, Brady. [Giggling] It's just... it's just a wedding. Did you give Nathan the note?
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Will: Ally-oop!
  Justin: Hey, Allie, Ciara is upstairs playing with her nanny. Would you like to go upstairs and play until the wedding starts?
  Will: All right, Mia and I will take you up.
  Mia: Okay, watch out for her dress.
  Lucas: Yeah, please. Should we go back in there? Don't want to leave Maggie alone with that crowd.
  Justin: Yeah. We come from complicated families, don't we?
  Lucas: Yeah, we do.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Lexie: We miss you at the hospital.
  Maggie: Oh, I'll be coming back soon.
  Lexie: Yeah?
  Maggie: Yeah.
  Lexie: Okay.
  Maggie: Oh, my goodness. Don't you both look fabulous.
  Lexie: Yeah.
  Lucas: Whoo. Thank you.
  Justin: So do you.
  Lucas: Justin's gonna fill in for Bo.
  Both: Oh.
  Justin: So, uh, Lexie, um, how's it going?
  Lexie: Well, my father's on his best behavior. And that always scares the hell out of me.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Stefano: Victor's not back yet.
  Kate: I guess he couldn't find Vivian.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Victor: She wasn't with Melanie?
  Philip: Not out there.
  Victor: Vivian, where the hell did you go?
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Vivian: What do you think you're doing?
  Carly: I could ask you the same thing. It was your henchman who dragged me down here.
  Vivian: [Laughing] I-- I don't even know what you're talking about.
  Carly: Really? 'Cause you were in a rush to join us when he texted you. Or, you know, you thought he did.
  Vivian: What?
  Carly: I suggest you be careful how you talk to me. Because killing Lawrence was horrible, but you... oh, I think that could be lots of fun.
  Vivian: I'm not scared of you--never was, never will be.
  Carly: I don't care how you feel. It's over. Bo is on his way. It's done.
  Vivian: You think that you've saved Melanie because I'm here?
  Carly: She's gonna live happily ever after.
  Vivian: I don't think so, because she's gonna die in about a half an hour.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Lexie: Hey, hey. Ah, ah! Give it to me.
  Stefano: Ohh, you really do care, huh?
  Lexie: I don't think Philip or Melanie need you going into a diabetic coma at their wedding.
  Stefano: You know something? It's a lucky thing you and Abraham showed up. There might not have been a wedding.
  Lexie: I need a drink.
  Stefano: No, come back. Listen, sweetheart, listen to me. After the ceremony, all right, you and Abraham, we pick up Theo and we have a nice supper.
  Lexie: Father. Father!
  Stefano: What?
  Lexie: Our being here doesn't change the fact that you knew, and you didn't tell EJ that Sydney was his daughter. [Smacks his stomach] Lose some weight.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Lucas: It's gonna be crazy.
  Victor: [Clears throat] Hope isn't here.
  Justin: I know. She's back on duty.
  Victor: Ah. Well, then, Salem is a safer place than it was yesterday.
  Justin: Yeah. You know, she was, um... kind of worried about Vivian.
  Victor: Yeah, she told me.
  Justin: She did?
  Victor: I'll tell you the same thing I told her. We have nothing to worry about from Vivian.
  Justin: I guess not.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Hope: She left the wedding, that's where--is Bo back from the stakeout?
  Officer: Oh, sorry, not yet.
  Hope: I've got to get in touch with him.
  Officer: Well, you won't be able to, 'cause he left his cell phone here.
  Hope: A text from Carly.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Nathan: I did not throw in the towel, thank you. I'm letting Melanie live her own life.
  Daniel: Ah, whatever. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
  Nathan: You know, actually, after the wedding, Stephanie and I are going on a great vacation. I'd like to think that's the definition of moving on, you know?
  Daniel: Mm-hmm.
  Nathan: I'm fine, my friend. More than fine.
  Daniel: Yeah, keep telling yourself that.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Philip: We're ready to go. Where the hell is Vivian?
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Carly: I'm not letting you out of this basement. So you're not gonna lay a hand on my daughter.
  Vivian: You're always so literal, Carly. You think in such a pedestrian way. Lawrence must have gone mad talking to you.
  Carly: Oh, 'cause he was such a deep thinker and all.
  Vivian: No, no. Don't talk about him in that tone of voice, because you killed a man who was much better than you are.
  Carly: No, Vivian, it was him or my daughter.
  Vivian: [Sighs] Do you know what you took away from me when you stabbed him? He was a prince.
  Carly: He was a monster! I saw what that illness did to him. It took away every speck of humanity. And then he turned his sick, sick anger on a defenseless little baby, and she has suffered mightily because of what he did.
  Vivian: What you made him do.
  Carly: No. Suffering is all done, okay? She is gonna live a full and happy life, even if I have to kill again. They say it gets much easier.
  Vivian: Ah, spoken like a true doctor. Well, do what you will. I accomplished what I set out to do, and nothing can stop it now.

  Stephanie: Okay.
  Melanie: [Sighs] [Grunts]
