Nicole entered Bob’s office Bob was excited to see her
“Nicole i need your help”
“What did you do now?”
“Well, i heard about Ben’s proposal to Ciara and decided that the ring bought for Blanca the stereotypical two months’ salary version was too expensive.. And”
“You didn’t ask for it back did you” Nicole asked cutting him off
“why should i have spent all that money when i could have gotten her this” rob drops a circular object on the table
“What is that?”
“it’s part of bathroom sink from the restaurant of our first date” Bob put it on and took it off “. See, it fits on a finger ?” ,”so what’s the problem ?”
“Sigh okay sit down and JUST LISTEN”
This Week in Salem
“Jake told Ciara and Ben he had no idea why those goons were after him”
“Why didn’t Ciara run straight to mommy or Rafe ?”
“Kate told Jake that if he WAS Stefan he could tell her”
“Well he probably could look how long she held onto the Stefano thing”
“Shouldn’t Kate have blabbed already?”
“what’s the big deal it’s not the first time “a twin” has showed up in Salem why hasn’t anyone gotten on a computer and did real work to find out about this guy, his garage, his boss, who he pays rent to ?”
“Because that’s too easy for Salem isn’t it”
“Maggie doesn’t know how she will deal with what Victor and Xander did”
“”That’s easy Nicole..”DIVORCE..once she takes Half ..More than Half of EVERYTHING Victor will have no choice but to spend the rest of time making good”
“should Maggie divorce Victor ?”
“Kristen found and freed Rex they agreed to split up and search train stations”
“Did Rex run straight to the bathroom??”
“Don’t think so ?”
“Did Rex change clothes did anyone clean up any messes?”
“Don’t know wasn’t there”
“Xander and Brady took different sides on the Kristen Victor stabbing”
“Kristens mistake was not rolling victor up in a rug and having Brady help smuggle him out of the house”
“you’re never going to let that go are you”
“NOPE”
“Kristen found Sarah”
“OH BOY, tell me did she just shoot Sarah or have goons take her away somewhere”
“neither!”
“WHAT?”
“Gabi went to See Rolf demanding answers about Jake”
“tell her she should come see me”
“Sure sure BTW i saw Rolf here yet he’s in prison so..care to explain that ?”
“Work release program he gets out for a few hours does some work then goes back to prison”
“Of course i should have realized. Moving on”
“On the Anniversary of Adriane’s death Steve Hope Justin and Kayla all visited her grave”
“Sad touching and very moving Nicole ..Steve and Hope are spending allot of time together do you think?”
“Not sure on that”
“Steve and Hope as a couple?”
“Ben proposed to Ciara via fortune cookie and a washer from a motorcycle”
“Should have cut it out of a necktie”
“I knew you would go there”
“Well if Ben didn’t go all murder spree they probably wouldn’t have gotten together”
“What did you think about this moment?”
“i thought it proved that they are not ready. Love doesn’t put food on the table Nicole, people want to compare them to Bo and Hope ,Well then compare them to Bo and hope on their career paths their planning and their engagement there is none”
“Kristen went in a totally different direction thanked Sarah for taking care of her baby but it was time to give it up” Bob lowered his head and slightly banged it on the desk”
“Oh how the mighty have fallen”
“Sarah in an obviously very emotional scene that may be Emmy worthy gave Kristen her baby”
“Brady caught up to them Kristen told Brady that she couldn’t go back to Salem because of the victor stabbing”
“Sarah went to Rex for comfort…and told Xander she never wanted to see him again?”
“Why did she go to Rex his cheating what caused her to be in this mess?”
“Maybe. But he was the only or first one there” the phone rang
“Excuse me for a second Nicole..Hello OH Hey Kristen. Can’t talk now sure I’ll wire you some money no problem” Bob hung up
“Sorry about that. Please continue”
“well it’s not like you haven’t done that for me so…”will Sarah ever be able to forgive Xander? Gabi ”
“Possibly”
“Gabi went to see Dr Rolf ”
“Rolf told me about this this was funny”
“They bickered back and forth about Stefan. Jake and who and what did what to who Dr Rolf told Gabi to get him out of jail and he will “FIX” Jake
“Does Gabi realize she is being played by dr Rolf”
“i don’t think so ..Not yet she may never too early to tell”
“Jake is reaching out to unknown help”
“Unknown help …That probably means YOU”
“its not me Nicole i think its the Shins or the Marconi’s”
“the Marconi’s seriously”
“Why not them”
“Because not many remember them”
“EXACTLY”
“Who was Jake talking to?”
“Ben clued Jake in on his Necktie history Jake was all doesnt matter we dont wear ties here”
“was that moment odd ?”
“Little bit”
“Chad demanded Rafe arrest Gabi for Drugging Abigail Rafe without proof told him he wouldn’t do it”
“Chad you…..Nicole what if CHAD is the one Drugging Abigail”
“Don’t be absurd”
“hmmmmm”
“Abe went to see Kate at Dimera mansion possibly on that job Kate asked for, Kate offered him some tea and That triggered another Abigail hallucination chad arrived and took her to the hospital where the met up with Jack and Jennifer, Abigail thought she was seeing Stefan Gabi and Ben”
“Okay why would she be seeing Ben he’s all nice and reformed now Stefan what he did was inexcusable but when chad and Abigail went off for their Paris trip they sort of hugged it out and made nice”
“Because she’s being drugged and has no control over any of this if Abigail ever forgave Ben will that’s another matter
“Fair enough”
“Abigail then started seeing Orpheus and Marlena arrived on the scene”
“Orpheus..is that some sort of clue is he behind this”
“why would Orpheus target Abigail ?”
“Maybe he and Clyde are still in cahoots and Clyde still hates what he thinks Abigail did to Ben”
“is Orpheus(and Clyde) a possible culprit ?”
“ben stopped Gabi from turning Jake into Stefan Gabi told him she would not give up on him/her./them”
“Rolf told me about that.. HILARIOUS”
“Ben gave the syringe to Marlena to hopefully see what was in it”
“Chad knows what happened and wants Ben to help him with Gabi to get her out of Dimera once and for all”
“Will Ben help Chad ?
“No he should help Gabi the rewards will be bigger once Stefan is back in play”
“Who should Chad help?”
“Evan was sentenced to twenty years for Jordan’s murder”
Twenty years please its Salem he will be out in less than three?”
“Is this the last we see of Evan/Christian?”
“Zoë went to see Rafe and she told him that Orpheus was the driver that killed Adriane”
“wow there’s a twist not many saw coming but i makes sense salem staying power wise”
“were you shocked by this revelation ?”
‘what did you think of the newly re casted Zoe ?”
I was But remember this doesn’t excuse Wills Texting will driving But he did serve time for that so moving on”
“Orpheus went to see Marlena and told him He kidnapped john and demanded money for his release”
“HOLD ON.. JOHN was Kidnapped”
“Yes that’s right”
“John”
“Yes”
“John NOT MARLENA?”
“YES YES John was kidnapped not Marlena”
“WOW just WOW”
“Will Marlena undertake the same steps and efforts john does to rescue Marlena ?”
“How many times has john been kidnapped ?”
“well since being kidnapped and captured and help prisoner are two different things I’d say Two maybe three times, Victor had him taken and locked up in his house to convince him he wa roman Brady” and Stefano took his body out of the grave after i Accidentally Ran him over with my car”
“That was. Never mind”
“Anyway that’s it”
“Good lets grab Eric and Blanca and eat..btw Nicole My sources tell me that Eric is going to pop the question”
“i know he will”
“Really?”
“Yes…call it women’s intuition. I just don’t know where and when”
“I bet its more than a washer”
“I wouldn’t care if it was a washer”
“Really technically Victors ring was 5 million and Kate’s Lucas ring was another million”
“That’s not me anymore and while am sure Blanca wouldn’t have cared what you spent asking for it back to Downgrade as you are not in financial dries is a big no no”
“We are still making lotto money from that time jump”
“GUYS COME ON” went Eric from outside
Time to Turn the Hourglass
