00:00Oh, oh, oh, I thought you were napping.
00:10Yeah, no, I, I couldn't sleep.
00:14Uh, wow.
00:19I haven't seen these in forever.
00:23I was, I was trying to find some for the service tomorrow, but I can, I can put this.
00:27No, no, no.
00:30No, I love looking at you.
00:33Oh, that was one of my favorites.
00:38Oh, I'll get that.
00:39I got it, I got it.
00:47Oh, Sophia, Mrs. Choi.
00:51Well, this is a juicy bit.
01:03You blurb it on the back cover.
01:08Kate.
01:09Anna, what are you doing here?
01:16You're telling me Chad is going skydiving on a date?
01:20Yes.
01:21Out of all the stupid, reckless things you could do, he is choosing to jump out of an airplane.
01:27Well, some people think it's safe.
01:30I mean, a lot of people do it.
01:31Jack, he's going to be jumping out of an airplane.
01:35And what makes it worse, he's doing it with Kat Green.
01:40And if you two could just fill out this paperwork and sign your life away on the dotted lines, then we'll get you fitted with chutes.
01:47Sorry, sign your life away.
01:48Oh, he's just joking.
01:53This is just a release form indemnifying happy sky skydiving against all potential outcomes.
01:59Loss of limbs, broken bones, traumatic brain injury, death.
02:04Best case scenario with a faulty chute, my guy.
02:07This is his first time.
02:10There is a reserve chute, don't worry.
02:13Besides, you must not be too worried or you wouldn't be here with this pretty lady, right?
02:18I don't get it.
02:48After everything that that woman put this family through, I mean, he's asking her on a date.
02:55No, Julie said it was a charity thing.
02:58There was a fundraiser at University Hospital.
03:00And EJ originally bid on the date with Kat.
03:04But somehow, Chad got wrangled into going on the date.
03:07I still don't get it.
03:08I don't either.
03:09Because she manipulated the situation and then she manipulated Chad.
03:13And I'm telling you right now, she is not going to get away with this.
03:16Once we hit 3,000 feet, go ahead and pull that guy.
03:23The chute should open immediately.
03:25But if for some reason it doesn't, don't panic.
03:28Don't panic.
03:29Right.
03:29Because then all you have to do is pull that guy.
03:32That is your reserve chute.
03:33So if this one doesn't open, if the left doesn't open, then you pull the right one, right?
03:39Left and right.
03:40Left and right.
03:41Okay.
03:41Then what happens if I, you know, a bunch of forks and knives and napkins and stuff come out of the parachute like a cartoon?
03:49We will have a picnic.
03:50Why didn't I think of that?
03:54You got to relax, my friend.
03:57Happy Skies has never had an incident involving any faulty reserve chutes.
04:01We pride ourselves on it.
04:02Well, that's reassuring.
04:04So, one more time.
04:09Um...
04:09Left, right.
04:11Left, right.
04:11Left, right.
04:12Um...
04:13Left, right.
04:16What do I do if I forget when I get up there?
04:18Well, since your life may depend on it, I doubt you'll forget.
04:20Oh, my God.
04:21You're so funny.
04:22I'm just messing with you.
04:23Yeah, well, don't, don't, don't, don't do that right now, please.
04:27You got it.
04:28And you're right-handed, aren't you?
04:30Cross your heart.
04:32And we'll hope not to die.
04:34I guarantee you will survive this.
04:37You might even have fun.
04:38Yeah, well, I'm more focused on the survival part right now, thanks.
04:41That's definitely the priority.
04:43Yeah.
04:44Okay, so, like this.
04:46See?
04:47You're an expert.
04:48You're probably going to be entering some skydiving competitions anytime soon.
04:51Oh, yeah, that's on my bucket list.
04:53You know, so maybe I'm going to have a knack for jumping on an airplane.
04:57Dying.
04:58Oh!
04:59All right.
05:00There you go.
05:02Ready?
05:04Ready as I'll ever be.
05:05Um, well, Tony and I, we flew in from Europe last night.
05:13We cut our trip short because we wanted to be here for John's funeral tomorrow.
05:19It's so terribly sad, isn't it?
05:22It's so terribly sad, isn't it?
05:22It's very sad.
05:26He was really a wonderful guy.
05:28I can only imagine what Marlene is going through right now.
05:34Well, she's, uh, she's strong and she's stoic.
05:41Um, sounds like her.
05:47Well, I'm just here for a little touch of, um, actually a checkup.
05:53So, um, what about you?
05:57I'm here to be with Philip.
06:01Oh, oh, of course.
06:04I'm so sorry.
06:05I, I heard about that too.
06:07And what a dreadful thing.
06:09How is he doing?
06:12Well, it's really tough going.
06:14You know, his doctors just sent him out for some more tests.
06:18And, um, I'm just hoping they show improvement.
06:23Well, I hope so too, Kate.
06:26Tony and I will both pray for him.
06:33So what's that you're reading?
06:35Oh, that's, um, a project that I'm involved in.
06:40But you're still working at the pub, right?
06:44With Roman?
06:46Uh-huh.
06:47But you know, Anna, I always like to have a few irons in the fire.
06:52Oh, mm-hmm.
06:56It's very nice to meet both of you.
06:59Sophia?
07:01Mrs. Choi, what, what brings you by?
07:03Oh, well, um, Tate and Sophia are scheduled for a tour of the hospital's maternity ward.
07:09And my mom decided to tag along.
07:12So, um, since we were stopping by anyway, I thought I'd bring you some mandu.
07:16Oh, Korean dumplings.
07:19They're really good.
07:22Thank you so much.
07:24We're very sorry for your loss, Dr. Evans.
07:27I can only imagine what a difficult time this must be.
07:32For all of you.
07:35John was a very good man.
07:39I wasn't aware that you knew him.
07:42Oh, not well, mind you.
07:44He once helped me in a time of need.
07:46My mom got a flat tire on her way to my kindergarten graduation.
07:52I was beside myself, thought I'd missed the graduation, and then John appeared, changed the tire on the spot, and he wouldn't accept any money for his trouble.
08:03I made it to this school just in time to see Sophia up on the stage.
08:06I will never forget the kindness that he showed me that day.
08:16Thank you for sharing that with me.
08:18Alrighty, Sophia, are you ready?
08:21Hi.
08:22Mrs. Choi, what are you, uh, what are you doing here?
08:25Waiting on you, young man.
08:26My mother decided to join us.
08:30Oh.
08:31Yeah.
08:32Right.
08:33Yeah.
08:34You don't have a problem with that, do you, Tate?
08:36Yeah, I know, I'm totally fine with you coming, Mrs. Choi.
08:51Good.
08:53Uh, then we should be on our way.
08:54We don't want to be late for our tour.
08:57Thank you for the gift.
08:59Very kind.
09:00You and your family will be in my prayers.
09:04See you later, Grandma.
09:05Yeah.
09:06Lovely story about John.
09:12I'm glad I got to hear that.
09:14Yeah, wait.
09:16Oh.
09:16Oh.
09:18Sorry.
09:19No.
09:21Oh.
09:21Oh.
09:22It's Sammy.
09:23Ah.
09:24I'll take this in the kitchen.
09:25Yeah.
09:29Hi.
09:30Sammy?
09:30How's everything?
09:32How was Sydney?
09:34How was the operation?
09:36Oh.
09:37Well, that's very good news.
09:40Yeah, no, I know that you're sorry to have missed the service.
09:51And I know.
09:54I know you would have liked to say goodbye.
09:57No, darling.
10:01It's all fine.
10:03John always understood, and he, and he, he never, ever, ever held a grudge.
10:07Honey, it's going to be all right.
10:18Thanks.
10:25Look, Jennifer, first of all, I really don't think that Chad's personal life is part of our business.
10:29I don't think she is making another play for his money.
10:31No, I don't think that she's making a play for his money.
10:33I think that, listen, when she was first impersonating Abigail, it wasn't about the money.
10:38Why does it sound like you're defending her?
10:40No.
10:41Honey, sweetheart, no, no, never.
10:44I would not defend her, not after what she did is indefensible.
10:47I am, I'm asking you, us, to try to understand why he would let her back in.
10:59into his life in the first place.
11:04He's lonely.
11:07He's alone.
11:13And his recovery, I don't know if he's ever going to recover from the trauma of losing Abigail.
11:24Jack, I do understand that.
11:26So, if he felt something for Cat when he thought she was Abigail, when she was pretending to be Abigail,
11:36maybe some of that feeling, in spite of everything, some of that feeling just, it lingered somewhat.
11:44No, you're right, that, that, that, that is probably it, Jack.
11:51Jack, right.
11:54And whatever lingering feelings I have for her, of anger and revulsion,
11:59I have to remember that, that it was Clyde, who was behind all the misery that she put us through, all the mind games that she put us through.
12:10And yet you knew.
12:17When you first saw her, I can't forget it.
12:19When you first saw her, you knew, deep down, that she was not our daughter, she was an Abigail.
12:30You're right, I did.
12:32I'm a mother.
12:35I felt it in my soul, Jack.
12:44Right.
12:45I wish, I wish I'd felt that, because I feel like such a fool.
12:51No.
12:51When the truth came out, I would just...
12:53You shouldn't, and Chad shouldn't feel like a fool, because you wanted to believe that Abigail was alive.
12:59And so you did believe it.
13:02And I was envious.
13:05Because you had joy.
13:08And you had this relief that, that she was back, even if it was for a brief time, Jack.
13:15Still, you felt it in your soul.
13:26The cat was not our daughter, was not Abigail.
13:30Right, I did.
13:35So,
13:38what is your soul telling you
13:42about Abigail now?
13:45It's just about time for your big adventure.
13:51I'll make sure the plane's ready.
13:57Okay, big guy.
14:00You sure you want to do this?
14:02Yeah.
14:04Yeah, I do.
14:06Uh, you know, I'm...
14:07I'm, uh, obviously I'm nervous, but you know what?
14:11It's gonna be fun.
14:13Yes, fun.
14:14Yeah, it's gonna be fine.
14:16Besides, EJ, EJ, you know, he donated, uh, uh, quite a, uh, sizable amount of money to the hospital.
14:23And, um, I don't know, he owns now.
14:27And, uh, but I don't want him to think that I'm, that I'm just wasting his money.
14:31He's not getting his money's worth.
14:32So, you know, we've come this far.
14:36I know what could brighten your day.
14:50I have pictures of Noah's graduation.
14:55Oh, Tony and I managed to go before we flew back.
15:00And I'm so glad we had a chance to go.
15:03It's not every day you get to see your grandson graduate.
15:07And it was such a beautiful ceremony.
15:08You should have seen him up there, Kate.
15:10He was so handsome.
15:11So, actually, Anna, I did see him because Austin sent me a video tape.
15:16So, I agree with you.
15:17It was a lovely ceremony.
15:19That's right, of course.
15:20Of course, you, you saw the video.
15:24But I'm sure it didn't truly capture it, right?
15:27I mean, of course, better than nothing.
15:31And it's such a shame that Carrie had to miss it, too.
15:35But it was important for her to get back here.
15:39When she did, she loved John so much, just like so many people did.
15:44This is truly such a sad time for Salem, isn't it?
15:48You'll have to excuse me.
15:50Phillip's back in his room.
15:57But, Kate, you forgot your...
16:03What is this?
16:07One stormy night?
16:08As he danced his fingers gently down toward her.
16:22Oh, my.
16:25My.
16:28Well, Kate, if you wrote this, then Roman is a very lucky guy.
16:33Oh, and we need to make sure that we ask about emergency procedures.
16:48Make sure the staff is prepared if something goes wrong during your delivery.
16:53And, uh, let's get you a wheelchair, honey.
16:55Well, I'm fine. I don't...
16:57No, you're not fine. You're on modified bed rest.
17:00Hi. You must be Sophia and Tate and...
17:04Mrs. Joy.
17:05Nice to meet you all. I'm Maddie, a labor and delivery nurse here at University Hospital.
17:10Are we ready to start the tour?
17:12Uh, yes. And, uh, we will be touring a birthing suite and getting a list of everything that we need
17:18to bring to the hospital, uh, as well as watching a video on how to prepare for the big day.
17:24A birthing video, yes. It'll show you how to cope during labor and what happens during each stage.
17:29It'll also cover topics such as C-sections, umbilical cord clamping, and fetal heart rate monitoring.
17:36Can't wait.
17:37Oh, sweetheart. It's so good to see you.
17:52Oh, I'm so glad to see you, Mom.
17:57And, Marlena...
18:01I have no words.
18:04Which is rare for me, I know.
18:07I'm...
18:08I'm just more sorry than I can say.
18:16Thank you, Anne.
18:19And thank you for coming.
18:22You don't have to thank me.
18:25Tony and I wouldn't be anywhere else.
18:37Where did I put that manuscript?
18:41Must be somewhere.
18:43And, of course, we'll be touring a birthing suite and getting a list of everything you'll need to bring to the hospital
18:49and watching a video on how to prepare for the big day.
18:54Sophia, I'll get you that wheelchair and then we'll be on our way.
18:58Be right back.
18:59Sophia, what are you doing here?
19:08Is the baby okay?
19:10Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
19:11Baby's totally fine.
19:12Yeah.
19:13Uh, we're just here for a tour.
19:15And the baby will be here before we know it. I want Sophia to know what to expect.
19:19I have a feeling I'm gonna wish I didn't.
19:23I mean, I have to say you were so collected and cool for a mom whose teenage daughter is about to have a baby.
19:29My grandson was a young dad as well, and I have to say I wasn't cool at all.
19:35Oh, well, then we are definitely birds of a feather. I'm actually quite a warrior.
19:40Right, Sophia?
19:41You a warrior?
19:43She's making fun of me.
19:46The truth is, um, I tend to be a bit of a helicopter mom, but they grow up so quickly, don't they?
19:54Yes, they do.
19:55And if you think you're going to worry any less when they're all grown up, think again.
20:06Jack, my soul is telling me that Abigail is gone.
20:15Even though I would give anything my own life to be wrong.
20:19Seemingly impossible things happen in Salem every day.
20:27I know.
20:31But we can't, we can't cling to that, Jack.
20:34We can't live the rest of our lives waiting on this miracle that may never come.
20:40We can't.
20:46You're right.
20:47You're right.
20:51It's been three years.
20:55It's been three long years since we lost her.
21:03Nearly to the day.
21:04Next week's the anniversary.
21:15Feels like a lifetime ago.
21:20And then sometimes it just feels like yesterday she was bounding down those stairs on Christmas morning.
21:25When things get quiet and I, and I, and I, I sometimes forget.
21:35I'm, I'm looking at
21:39a piece of writing, some, some, something beautiful.
21:42And I, and I, I suddenly say, I gotta show this to Abigail.
21:45I gotta, Ben, Ben, Ben, we have to, we have to accept that she's gone.
22:07We have to move on with our lives.
22:20And so does Chad.
22:22I know.
22:24Just not with Kat Green.
22:31You think you could put any weight on it?
22:33I don't know.
22:33I, I landed pretty hard on the left side of my ankle.
22:35Well, in the future, you need to tuck into the L shape when you land.
22:39Remember the practice rules we did?
22:42No, I was, I was just focused on the left, right, left, right thing that you kept telling me about.
22:46Well, now you know for next time.
22:48Can't wait.
22:50I'll go get you some ice.
22:53Okay.
22:54Down.
22:58So much for our fun date.
23:00Huh?
23:02No, it's, I actually had a lot of fun.
23:05I mean, yeah, I mean, yeah, sure.
23:10When we, uh, when we jumped out of the plane, I was, I was absolutely scared out of my mind.
23:14But, I mean, what's we're in the air?
23:17I was like, you know, I just, uh, all my, all my problems went away, just like you said they would.
23:25And, uh, and I just felt like I was at peace.
23:29It's just in the moment.
23:33I mean, yeah, I may have crash landed, you know, like a goof, but, uh, hey, you didn't.
23:36You landed right, right on the X.
23:38And did you call it, uh, midair?
23:40I think I just got lucky.
23:44How many times have you done this?
23:48Once or twice.
23:49Oh, look at that son of yours.
24:05Oh, has he not turned into the most handsome young man?
24:09And to think he's about to venture off to college, out in the world, all on his own.
24:15No, no, no, no, no, don't remind me, please.
24:21Marlena, would you like to see the photos?
24:25Marlena.
24:25Oh, um, yes, sorry, uh, oh, wow, what a great smile he had.
24:40I'm sorry, uh, I was just distracted.
24:43Oh, don't you apologize for anything.
24:50I'm, I'm, I'm just a heartbroken figure.
24:55And Tony is too.
25:00He sends you so much love, and he'll be at the funeral, of course.
25:09I must say that hearing what John meant to so many people really is comforting.
25:22I guess.
25:26After the funeral.
25:29And all the flowers are wilted, and everybody's gone home.
25:34Gone home.
25:35Gone home.
25:36It's going to be a little quiet around here.
25:42Wow, what a flood of self-pity that someone like me.
25:46Oh my goodness, I'm sorry.
25:47I will be fine.
25:50I will be just fine.
25:52So, sweetheart, I talked to your doctor, and she said that your test results are not in yet.
26:11But I have a really good feeling.
26:18Because I know how strong you are.
26:21And how you persevere.
26:23But Philip, you have to wake up.
26:32Because the sooner you do, the sooner we can prove that Xander is the one who did this to you.
26:38And how late can Sophia get an epidural?
26:47Because she has always been squeamish.
26:49So, I know she's not going to want a needle in her spine.
26:52But honestly, I think it's good to have the option.
26:54Don't you?
26:55And as you said, if she should need a C-section, then it's that much simpler to deliver the anesthesia.
27:01You know, that way, obviously.
27:04Hopefully, she won't need it.
27:05But just knowing how difficult first-time deliveries can be.
27:09I think I'm going to be sick.
27:21I don't think I would have been able to make it home without you.
27:30Uh, Jennifer, Jack, hi.
27:35Chad?
27:38Cat?
27:40You need to get out of my family's home right now.
27:43Jennifer.
27:43Get out right now.
28:00Arlena, you don't have to worry about dealing with this on your own.
28:04I can stay as long as you need me to.
28:08Oh, my sweet girl.
28:11You're so kind.
28:12You can't do that.
28:16You can't stay here.
28:17You have your own life you've got to get back to.
28:23And I'm going to have to find a way to move forward in this new life that I have.
28:33And you will.
28:36I know you will, Martha.
28:39You're such a strong woman.
28:41And you help others so much by helping them get through their, their troubles.
28:49I just hope you can do that for yourself.
28:54Well, I will try.
28:57And we're all here for you.
29:02Your, your children, your grandchildren, your friends.
29:05And you, of course, so.
29:09We're all here for you.
29:20We're going to make Xander pay.
29:23As soon as you wake up.
29:26I promise you that.
29:35Hey, Belle.
29:37No, no, no.
29:38I'm, I'm glad you called because I haven't had a chance to tell you how sorry I am about John.
29:46Yes.
29:47Yes, of course.
29:50Philip.
29:53He's hanging in.
29:56Yeah, no, look, uh, it's very kind of you to check in on him, especially with
30:02everything that's going on with your family right now.
30:05Yeah, well, I have to tell you that I have such peace of mind knowing that Xander is arrested.
30:16What?
30:19What do you mean that he's out on bail?
30:23He tried to kill my son, Belle.
30:27It's been proven that no one in Salem is safe with him around.
30:35Out on the streets and he's a free man.
30:39Don't tell me that you're sorry.
30:42Just tell me what you're going to do, Belle.
30:45Hey, hey, hey, hi.
30:56Hey.
30:58Uh, where's my mom?
31:00Oh, she went to get you a bottle of water.
31:01How are you feeling?
31:04I'm okay.
31:06It's just like, you know, seeing the birthing video and my mom going on and on about all that
31:15stuff.
31:16Yeah.
31:17Yeah, I know.
31:18It's really intense, right?
31:23Well, yeah.
31:24And, I mean, I knew that I was going to have to push the baby out of me one way or another.
31:33I just, seeing it in such graphic detail and let's just say I wasn't expecting to see a horror movie today.
31:42And I had no idea that it was going to be all so gross and not to mention painful.
31:51I get it, I do.
31:52But, you know, hey, they, they, they have drugs that they can give you.
31:57You saw the size of that needle.
31:58You want that thing in your spine?
32:01Yeah, okay, just forget I said anything.
32:03But, listen, I, I promise you, I will be right there with you the whole time.
32:09I'll be right by yours.
32:10No, you won't.
32:11I don't want you anywhere near the delivery room.
32:26Jennifer, I know it must have been a shock to see me with Kat like that.
32:30I'm sorry.
32:30I never would have come home if I would have known you were here.
32:33Oh, that, that's what you're sorry about?
32:35Because you surprised me and Jack when you came home from your date?
32:40Not that you were on a date with a woman who impersonated your dead wife, Jack?
32:45It wasn't a romantic thing.
32:47It was EJ's place.
32:48I knew the whole story.
32:48Julie told me, yes, you were worried about EJ going on a date with Kat.
32:55What I want to know is why?
32:56Why do you even care?
32:58Why do you even want to spend time with a woman who hurt you so badly?
33:02Who hurt us all?
33:03I'm not sure what's hit me, but suddenly I'm not, I'm not feeling very well.
33:25Well, you're probably exhausted.
33:28Why don't you, why don't you go lie down for a bit?
33:31Yes, yes, you should.
33:34I mean, maybe just go try to close your eyes for a little while.
33:37I think that might be a very good idea.
33:42I don't think we're going to do that.
33:45And thank you, boss.
33:50Thank you, boss.
33:51I feel I want to help her, but I don't know what to do.
34:04I know, sweetheart.
34:05We all want to help her, but I'm not sure that right now there's anything we can't do.
34:11I mean, the kind of pain that Marlena is in, there's no cure for it.
34:20Only time, and that never works fast enough.
34:29Don't worry, baby.
34:47Bell may have fallen down on the job, but I won't.
34:54From now on, I will not leave your side.
34:59Because I'm your mother, and it's my job to protect you with my life.
35:10I promise you that Xander will never, ever lay a finger on you again.
35:23So you don't, you don't want me in the delivery room?
35:29It's not personal.
35:30It's just, I don't want you seeing me like that.
35:37Look, I mean, I get it, right?
35:39Like, I'm not a fan of the side of blood either, but I, okay, I'm sorry.
35:44I will, I'll shut up.
35:46I just hope I can get through this without barfing or passing out or making you barf and run away from all that.
36:02Look, I am not gonna run away, okay? So don't worry.
36:10Well, we have plenty of other things that we need to worry about.
36:13Uh, we still need to find a lawyer and an adoptive family for the baby before it's warm.
36:18So we're running out of time on that.
36:21Yeah. Right.
36:23Mom. Mom, are you ready to go?
36:29What? Oh, oh, yes. Uh, of course.
36:34Sorry, honey. Here, I got you a bottle of water.
36:38It's bad enough you go on a date, then you get injured.
36:47Is it painful?
36:50I'm fine. I just, um, I gotta go pick up the kids from school, so I'm-
36:55You're not fine. You could have broken your foot.
36:57It's just a bad sprain. We stopped at our secure on the way back.
37:01Yeah, but you still need to stay off your feet.
37:04Just let us pick the kids up.
37:06Yeah, we'll do that.
37:09And I'm just glad that they were not here when you came home from your little date.
37:14Because after everything those kids have been through,
37:16the last thing they need is Cat Green in their lives.
37:36Hey, how are you doing?
37:48Uh, I'm fine.
37:50Look, I just wanted to call and say I'm sorry about what happened.
37:53Please, don't be. It is not your fault.
37:59And Jack and Jennifer have every right to feel exactly the way that they feel about me.
38:06I'm just, I'm just sorry for calling your family so much trouble.
38:11And I want you to know that that's not going to happen anymore, okay?
38:14Because from now on, I'm, uh, I'm going to stay away from you, okay?
38:28So I said, yeah, make sure that I'm the plane or anything.
38:31Oh.
38:32Well, it seems like 109 hours tonight.
38:33But go Tyr, where do I go?
38:34Well, it seems like you could find those Montese-Based,
38:35it seems like them before trying to get them.
38:42And it seems like the mind Gerald-Ross here is so hard to tell my dreams of anything as a general.
38:48So we're going to see what happens after that.
38:50I swear there's no chances like break it down with me,
38:51and it seems like my best-mom to do it.
