09-01-2017 (Friday) I Really Wish You Hadn't...

“Marlena” sits in her office, reviewing Andre’s report; she says (to herself) that she thinks it is quite incomplete because it says nothing of the low life con man that he is.  She laughs about him making an appointment with “Dr. Evans” for help and unbeknownst to him, “here’s Hattie!”  She composes herself and tells her receptionist to send Mr. DeMira in.  He asks, “are you ready for me?” and she answers, “oh, I am more than ready for you.”  He sits down and tells her he wants a “certificate” that says he is sane, so he can give it to Kate and get her “on board.”  Hattie says that she would have to make sure he is sane before she signs off on his certificate; after all, she reminds him, that is why he came to her, because she could never be bribed or sweet talked into doing anything unethical, being so honest and all.  Andre grunts in annoyed agreement; she goes on, bringing up why he is doing this anyway… to get all the money for himself.  She says they both know this is a complete scam; he says that has nothing to do with his mental health.  She brings up the vows to Kate being phony, and then asks how she could hurl herself at Roman being married to him nonetheless; she calls her a “skank” then tries to say she meant “skunk.”

Andre smiles and asks "Marlena" if she feels alright; she says, “too much coffee” and asks if they should proceed.  She asks, “why do you hate women?”  Andre is taken by surprise; he claims no one respects him more than he does.  She stupidly asks him, “what about Hattie Adams and the way you treated her?”  Andre looks closely at her and asks, “how do you know about her?”  She claims Hope Brady talked about meeting her in prison; she tells Hattie’s story about “Alfie” and how she was sure it was him.  She says she won’t sign his certificate until he gets an answer; he says it was business… nothing personal.  “Marlena” gets upset, saying he broke Hattie’s heart and questions how it couldn’t be personal; he smirks and says, “you are the one who seems to be taking this personal.”  He sits back in the chair.  “Marlena” composes herself and says she feels for Hattie because of their “vague resemblance” and Andre says well maybe then he should look for another doctor who isn’t so prejudice.  She insists she can be impartial and suggests they continue; he says okay, but no more talking about Hattie.  She asks about his relationship with his mother, and Andre just starts to laugh.  He starts rambling on and she eventually cuts him off; she says time is up.  She tells him he will have to come back, or go see another doctor and start from the beginning again; he concedes that he would rather have her “fair and honest” name on the certificate, and whispers, “keep me posted.”  Hattie sits back, thinking she’s fooled him and says she’ll be as fair and honest with him as he was with her.

Lucas sits at a table, talking on the phone; he thanks Chloe for calling the police for him, and mentions ‘thinking’ he was making love to Adrian; Justin appears behind him.  Lucas asks what he heard; he says just him talking about Adrian.  Justin offers friendly advice about not pining over “the woman who got away” and Lucas asks why he should listen to him when he’s the one who stole her from him.  Justin tries to explain, but Lucas says he doesn’t buy it; he runs through things in his mind quickly, and gets the idea that Justin is setting him up.  He says, “you are doing this to me, aren’t you?”  Justin looks confused.  Lucas says he is going to get Adrian back; Justin tells him that’s not going to happen, mentioning that “Adrian” moved back into Victor’s house last night.  When Lucas realizes Adrian was with Justin last night, he assumes she couldn’t have been the one he made love to then and appears to get sick to his stomach.  Justin says he only told him so he would know it was a “done deal” and could move on; Lucas thanks him, sarcastically.  Justin tells him to think of all the people who love him, including his granddaughter and he leaves; Lucas sees someone else taking a sip from a martini.

Hope and Rafe talk about Myron; Rafe worries because “the guy’s nerves aren’t exactly made of steel.”  Hope says it will be over today; they will have grounds for an arrest.  The commissioner walks in and asks what arrest Hope is talking about.  Rafe covers, saying they got a lead on another case.  Raines complains about all of the open cases they have right now; Rafe tells him they just got another one.  Hope grabs the file; “a suspicious death at the Salem Inn,” she says.  He tells them to get to work on it; Hope realizes the room was registered to Adrian Kariakis.  “Adrian” wanders around the mansion, reveling in all that would be hers; she talks to herself about “that bitch that took it” from her… Maggie walks in the room and asks what bitch?”   She tries to avoid the question by asking about Maggie’s shirt; Maggie reminds her that she helped Sonny pick it out for her last Christmas.  They sit down and Maggie insists on knowing what woman she was talking about, and what she took.  Bonnie says she was talking about Angelika Devoraugh… she says she is still mad about her trying to steal the Intruder; Maggie corrects her, “you mean the Spectator.”  She says, “oh yes, the Spectator.”  Maggie asks her to put down the ceramic statue she is still holding, saying she is making her nervous; “Adrian” asks if she has a problem with her for some reason.  Maggie says, “as a matter of fact, I do.”

Hope begins to wonder about Adrian suddenly dumping Lucas and going back to Justin; she says that was so out of character for her.  Rafe gets a call, identifying the body as Angelika Devoraugh; Hope makes the connection, telling Rafe about the newspaper and Angelika’s threat to Adrian and Jennifer.  She says they may not have worked things out at all.  “Adrian” asks what she has done, claiming she just wants them to be one big happy family.  Maggie says her being there was only to make Justin happy; she says Victor isn’t really happy about it.  “Adrian” calls Sonny “Jackson,” making Maggie confused again.  She points out that they both married into this family; her a Horton, Adrian a Johnson… she says, “Lucas is a Horton, which makes him family” and she says she wants to know why Adrian treated him so horribly.  She says she isn’t mad that she chose Justin; she is angry about the way she did it.  “Adrian” gets snotty and says, “the heart wants what it wants - I used to love Lucas, and now I love Justin.”  Maggie questions how she knows her heart won’t just change back; “Adrian” asks if this is really about Justin or the fact that she wants to be the only “queen of this castle.”  Maggie is astounded; Justin walks in and asks if everything is okay.  Adrian makes light of their conversation and Maggie defends herself, saying she is just worried about Lucas.  Justin tells her Lucas is “falling apart.”  Lucas sits at the table, now with a martini in front of him; he flashes back to “Adrian” telling him it is over.  He downs the drink.

Gabi goes to Club TBD; she starts to unlock the door and somebody grabs her.  It’s Eli; he tells her she was about to break the law.  She tells him what she knows about what Dario was doing and asks what else she needs to know; he tells her he can’t tell her anything.  She apologizes, saying she is just not her best these days; she says she isn’t having fun walking around knowing all the things Dario did to people, including Abigail.  Eli sits down; she says he must think she deserves what she’s gotten (Chad walking away from her).  He says, “no, I don’t think that at all.”   He tells her, he watched them on the island and there is no doubt Chad loved her; she says she knows that… he just loved Abby more.  Eli tells her she will love again too, and “whoever that guy is, he will be a lucky man.”  Rafe gets a call; things are “set to go” – he says, “text Raines and tell him to meet you at Club TBD.”  He and Hope ‘high-five’ each other.  Raines comes back asking about the body at the Salem Inn; they tell him who it was and that she was Jennifer’s mother-in-law.  He gets a call; he says he will be right there.  Raines tells them to interview Adrian Kariakis as soon as possible, reminding them they get paid to follow orders.

Hope goes to Victor’s; “Adrian” assumes she is there to see Maggie about Lucas, but Hope tells her she is there to see her, about an investigation.  “Adrian” questions what investigation; Hope tells her about Angelika being found dead in her hotel room.  Bonnie just grins.  Rafe gets a call from Dario, who tells him it’s not Abe; Rafe says they know that (speaking quietly).  He then questions, “what?” with a look of shock on his face.  Gabi is back at the Club now; a delivery man shows up with a package for Dario (from Dario); Gabi says she can sign for it.  She then wonders what he would have sent himself; she opens the door and goes in (ignoring Eli’s reminder that it would be breaking the law), stepping right under the crime tape.  Rafe tells Eli about his conversation with Dario; he tells him about the package he sent to TBD, which incriminates Raines.  Eli says it looks like they are home free; Gabi opens the envelope and plays the recorder, listening to Raines talk about the counterfeit money.  She hears a voice say, “I really wish you hadn’t heard that.”  She turns around to see Raines standing there.
