08-18-2017 (Friday) The Kiss of a Stranger

Roman pushes “Marlena” off of him and asks her what the hell she thinks she’s doing; she says she hopes to rekindle things between them.  He tells her she can’t be serious; she asks if he hasn’t thought about all the wonderful times by had… he admits, “of course.”  She smiles.  He tells her just because he thinks about it doesn’t mean he wants it; she starts carrying on, how they could have all that again… he tells her to slow down.  He says he won’t do that to John; besides, he says, “something was off.” Paul gets a text from John; Chad tells Sonny, “we got this.”  Paul greets Sonny when he is released and tells him he never doubted him, even though Sonny admits that he doubted himself.  Sonny tells him all the things he was afraid he would never get to do again; he tells Paul he has something he wants to ask him.

Kate catches John in the Square and apologizes for being “brutal” the last time they talked; he tells her she was pretty much on the mark, and says, “she dumped me, Kate.”  Kate tells him that Marlena loves him, right or wrong, good or bad; she says something else must be going on here.  John agrees; Kate takes him to get a drink and says they are going to figure out what is going on here.  Roman tells “Marlena:” the kiss was different, and he thinks he knows why.  He says they are just two different people now; she denies it, saying they are just the same.  He tells her she loves John and insists she go find him and work this out; he says there can never be anything between them in this life, not now, not ever.  She gets up and storms out, walking right past John, as he and Kate come in.

John demands Roman tell him what just happened here.  He says he and Marlena had a disagreement; he tells John they were talking about their past, and then they were kissing.  John punches him.  Roman stands up and yells at John to listen to him; he tells him that he told her to get out of there, find him and make things right.  John apologizes; Roman says he’s fine… he says he’s not sure about Marlena though, saying she caught him completely off guard.  John apologizes again and goes to find Marlena.  Kate nurses John’s bleeding lip; he tells her that his talk with “Marlena” made him think maybe it is time for him to open himself up to the possibility of finding love with somebody new, or someone he loved and lost.  Kate looks at him lovingly, shakes her head and touches his chin; he draws her closer, and they kiss.  Andre walks in and sees them.

Julie visits Abigail; they talk about Abe Carver’s arrest.  Julie says he is practically a saint; Andre walks in mocking her.  Julie excuses herself, telling Abigail, the “scent of something in this room” has made her queasy.  Andre apologizes to Roman for the things Julie said; he sits down by her.  He tells her that Chad should be talking to the judge right now; at that moment, Chad walks in (with a rose) and tells Abigail he is free.  Andre excuses himself; Abigail tells Chad she is happy he came back to her.  He says he will always come back to her.  He asks her to marry him again; Abby giggles.  Chloe goes to see Eric, looking for answers about his feelings for Nicole.  Of course, he denies having any feelings for her, other than friendship.  He says he knew working with Nicole would be complicated, but he can handle it; Chloe tells him hiding his feelings won’t be easy, and she leaves.

Nicole tells Brady that she knows he has come up with all kinds of scenarios about her and Eric; she swears it’s not true.  He asks why he should believe that.  She says she loves him; he tells her he knows all about her private little photo shoot with Eric.  She asks how; he tells her he heard her talking about it; she get the pictures out and shoves them at him, telling him to look at them.  After she explains that they are for Holly, he begins to feel bad; still he asks her to explain “the secret” she couldn’t tell him, and she confesses that she had forgiven Eric.  He asks why she didn’t just tell him; she said things were just so shaky between them after the party, she was scared to tell him, thinking he would jump to all these crazy conclusions – then that’s exactly what he did anyway.  Brady tells Nicole that he still isn’t sure Eric did nothing wrong; he tells her that he thinks he may be the one who killed Deimos.  She asks why he thinks such a thing and he shows her the amulet; Nicole recalls that night and Eric telling her he thought he did something bad.  She says she couldn’t imagine Eric could to that though; Brady asks how else she can explain the amulet being in his room.  Her mind flashes back again, to herself, standing in her red party dress, holding the amulet.
