We return to the house of Susan Banks,
where ‘Will,’ now thinking he is “E.J.” paces the floor; he sits down and
recalls Sonny saying he was his husband and Sammi saying she was his mother,
him screaming at them. He looks
troubled. Sammi is taken to jail again,
still arguing her position; he son, raised from the dead, brainwashed to think
he is her dead husband… the policeman makes fun of her. He tells her it looks like she’s on her own;
Marlena walks in and says, “no she’s not.”
Sammi is elated to see her; they hug. Sammi tells Marlena that “Paul knew Will was alive” – Marlena says
all that should matter is that he IS alive; Sammi tells her that isn’t true,
because he doesn’t even know who he is and he hates her.
Marlena reminds Sammi that there was a time that Sammi hated her, and
they got past it. Sammi agrees and
says, “maybe Susan’s scheme will backfire on her.”
Susan comes back into ‘E.J./Will’s room, with a box full of things
from his supposed childhood; his first cut lock of hair, his first lost tooth,
and a birth certificate… ‘Will’ questions why he can’t see the date on it;
Susan says, “because somebody smudged it with their fingertips covered in
peanut butter.” She goes on to tell
stories of E.J., as a little boy. She
begs him to let go of all of this; he says he doesn’t understand how he could
have been married to Sammi. He says it
makes him feel weird; Susan says, “like you wanna throw up in your mouth, I
know” adding, “she makes everyone feel that way, I think.” He says it just doesn’t make sense,
inquiring, why “that guy” would kiss him like that and say he is his husband “if
it weren’t true.”
Paul calls Sonny and leaves a message apologizing for not
telling him sooner, and says he loves him, “so much” and says he is there for
him “no matter what.” John comes around
and gives Paul a hug; Sonny sees the message but doesn’t listen to it. Paul admits that he realized Will was still
alive before they came back to Salem, that he saw him in that bar, and he let
Marlena believe her grandson was dead; he says he doesn’t think he can forgive
himself. Sonny tells his mother he is
so angry at Paul for not telling him that Will was there, he doesn’t know if he
can forgive him; Adrian says, he was afraid of losing him… Sonny says, “he
should be.” John asks Paul who his lie
hurt in the end; Paul says, “no one more than me.”
When his ‘mother’ comes in, ‘Will’
asks her to tell him the truth about who he is; she finds it hard to look at
him, holding his breakfast tray, she tries to think of what to say. She says Sammi is just trying to make
trouble for her and tries to make him feel bad for doubting “the mother who
raised and loves him.” He apologizes;
she tells him to sit down and eat his breakfast. He says he has to get some answers for himself, questioning who
Will Horton is and why everyone is saying “E.J. DeMira is dead,” if he is E.J.
DeMira. He questions why his ‘mother’
doesn’t let him have a computer, why they don’t get the newspaper, or have a
television; he asks, if he goes down the library to search for information on
himself, will he find out something that he won’t like?
Susan looks down again, pursing her lips (boy,
they sure made her an ugly character); she asks him if he doesn’t think he
would remember if he were married to a man and had a child… she tells him to
listen to his heart and he’ll know the truth.
Rafe tells Gabi about Will being alive; she gets very excited and starts
to hug him, but he tells her, “there’s more.”
Paul fears that his lapse in judgment will be the thing that pushes
Sonny back into his arms; Sonny tells his mom he has to make Will remember what
they had together – he says he has to “go back and try again.”
