Little Orphan Annie DiMera.

Carly tries to touch Melanie at the courthouse but she backs away. Carly hoped there was a chance for them but Melanie denies there is. They’re even and that’s all Melanie wanted. Carly stops her. "I don’t believe you." Melanie yells that she’s cutting ties with Carly, like she did when she gave her away. Carly sobs how sorry she is. Melanie cries about growing up with a psycho because of her. She did this for her dad, Daniel. Carly’s happy they are growing closer. Philip arrives and takes Melanie out of the courthouse. She explains she didn’t tell him what she was doing because he’d have tried to stop her. He would do anything for her and won’t let anyone hurt her again. They kiss and Philip says he wants to show her a house.

Philip and Melanie wind up at Maggie’s house. Melanie’s surprised. Philip says this could be their new house and carries her over the threshold as she giggles in delight. Philip told Maggie they wanted to help her out with her condition. Now nobody has to know she’s not in remission anymore. Though it’s not a honeymoon cruise, says Philip, Melanie tells him it suits her fine. They kiss and Maggie walks in, thinking she has to learn to knock. Philip leaves to make a few calls and Melanie says she’s returning the favor by moving in. She’s family and if she’s having a bad day, Melanie wants to know. Maggie asks how Melanie’s feeling. She too has good and bad days. Good news is she gets to live with Maggie but the bad news is she had a bad scene with Carly and cut her out of her life. Maggie starts to protest but Melanie says she’s the only mother she needs and that’s why they’ve got to make her healthy. Carly can fall off the face of the earth.

Bo says that’s not how it is. Justin tells Commissioner Brady he’s out of line and Carly asks him to sit down. The judge doesn’t want to have to cite him for contempt, so Bo sits down. Melanie weeps as she goes on to tell them how she learned she was Carly’s child. She saw Carly’s face the night she shot her and knows that it was an accident. Carly has tears streaming down her face when Melanie admits she lied in her first statement. She was hurting, scared and wanted to get back at Carly for giving her away. The judge asks everyone to wait while he considers Melanie’s words. Later, the judge sentences Carly to probation but exonerates her from the shooting. Carly’s happy and tries to thank Melanie but she refuses to allow her to touch her.
