00:00Hey, you.
00:09Hey.
00:13What is this?
00:15I thought I'd add a little charm to your desk.
00:19Are you kidding me?
00:21This will definitely bring a little charm.
00:24Of course.
00:26You came all the way here just to bring me this?
00:29Well, I also wanted to see if you were ready to clock out and go get dinner with me.
00:34Oh, baby, I'm sorry.
00:36I don't know if I can today.
00:37I mean, with both Philip and Xander out.
00:39I thought Xander was released on bail.
00:42He is, yeah, but he's steering clear of the company until things settle down a bit.
00:46So, more work for me, obviously.
00:49Right.
00:52Well, no worries about dinner.
00:54And, um, I appreciate you coming to John's service today.
01:02Anything for you.
01:05And, just so you know, we are going to make up for lost time tonight.
01:13Yeah?
01:14Mm-hmm.
01:16What did you have in mind?
01:18It was a lovely service, wasn't it?
01:40It was perfect.
01:41Oh, Sarah.
01:46You know, my heart is breaking for Marlena.
01:50And the family.
01:53To finally get John back home.
01:57Only to lose him like that.
02:01Oh.
02:02He died a hero.
02:07Which is fitting.
02:10Because.
02:11Because he also lived like a hero.
02:18Yeah.
02:20I sure don't make up my days, too.
02:22Oh.
02:36Oh.
02:38Well, if it isn't the former jailbird himself, congratulations on becoming a free man, Xander.
02:45Oh, and what a happy coincidence that we ran into each other.
02:48I never got to shake your hand after the results of the board vote came in.
02:52Seeing as you were in handcuffs.
02:58They're hard feelings, I hope.
03:01Piss off, EJ.
03:02Oh.
03:15Bill, I am so sorry about your dad.
03:19Can't believe that you're at work right now.
03:21Oh, well.
03:22The service is over.
03:24And I needed the distraction.
03:26And if anything's gonna make me feel better, it's bringing the suspects to trial who attempted to kill EJ and Phillip.
03:33All right.
03:36If you're sure.
03:38Yeah, I am.
03:39And thank you, by the way, for granting Kate's request to post police protection for Phillip at the hospital.
03:49No problem at all.
03:49I can't believe Xander was granted bail.
03:53Yeah, well, our office argued against that, but the judge sided with Xander, obviously.
04:00But that's okay, because we have a really solid case against him that I intend to bring to trial ASAP.
04:06Okay.
04:12Hi.
04:13Hey, Lila.
04:15Hey.
04:17You and Roman gave such a beautiful eulogy.
04:20at the service this afternoon.
04:24I'm glad you could make it.
04:26Like, I would never have missed it.
04:29How was the...
04:30The wig?
04:32Um, it was...
04:33It was nice.
04:35No, no, you know what?
04:36It was perfect.
04:38Um, it was a real celebration
04:40of John's life.
04:42You know?
04:42A lot of tears.
04:45Memories.
04:46Laughter. It was great.
04:48Sounds like he would have
04:50really liked it.
04:53Look, I'm
04:54sorry that I couldn't stay.
04:56I just...
04:57I needed to be near Philip.
04:59Oh, I understand.
05:02But listen, I...
05:03Hope it eases your mind.
05:05His slabs and his vitals
05:07are really showing
05:07a tremendous amount of improvement.
05:10And now that we have
05:11a police surveillance
05:12outside his room,
05:13I...
05:13I think you could go home
05:15and get some rest.
05:17No, I know.
05:18I know
05:18that I should.
05:21That just every instinct
05:22is telling me
05:23that his life
05:23is still in danger
05:24as long as his
05:25miscreant brother
05:26is...
05:27is free.
05:29We're not gonna let
05:30anything happen to him.
05:31I promise.
05:33Oh, I'm...
05:34You know, I'm gonna go home soon.
05:36I'm just...
05:37hoping that, uh...
05:39that he'll wake up
05:40before I do.
05:41Well, I don't think
05:44it's gonna be tonight.
05:46But I'm sure
05:47it'll be in the next few days.
05:50That's good.
05:53That's really good.
05:54I need Philip
05:57to come back to me.
06:00Because when he's...
06:02when he does,
06:03the first thing
06:04he's going to do
06:05is identify
06:06Xander
06:07as his attacker.
06:10And then I'm not
06:11going to rest
06:12until I put
06:13Xander Kyriakas
06:15behind bars.
06:17Like sands
06:32through the hourglass,
06:33so are the days
06:35of our lives.
06:48Well, let's hope
06:49that Philip wakes up soon.
06:50So we can put
06:51this case to rest.
06:57Hey.
06:59It's a bad time.
07:00I didn't mean
07:00to interrupt.
07:02Uh, no.
07:03You know what?
07:03I was actually
07:04on my way out.
07:06Well, I, uh...
07:08I hope you're taking
07:09the rest of the night off.
07:11And how you doing?
07:13Uh, not great.
07:14Well, if you need
07:17anything, then...
07:18Thanks.
07:18You know what?
07:19I'm going to leave
07:20you two to talk.
07:31So...
07:32Is something
07:34happening between you two?
07:36You mean other than
07:36years of marriage
07:37and multiple affairs
07:38and, uh,
07:39a recent divorce?
07:40It's just, uh...
07:49You know,
07:49it's been a really
07:50hard day.
07:52Look, I know that
07:53John was Bill's dad.
07:56But I'm sorry
07:57for your loss, too.
08:03So...
08:04Did you need something?
08:07Yeah.
08:07Yeah, I do.
08:08Um...
08:10Listen, I need to, uh...
08:12I need to tell you
08:12that I'm sorry.
08:19I wish our conversations
08:20didn't have to be
08:22so one-sided.
08:24I could read some
08:25more of the manuscript
08:27to you,
08:27but I seem to have
08:28misplaced it.
08:31It might seem
08:31a little risque
08:32for a mother
08:33to be reading
08:33to her son,
08:34but believe me,
08:35I'm leaving out
08:36all the explicit parts.
08:38I thought you might
08:40enjoy the love story.
08:45I don't know,
08:46maybe I should
08:46retrace my step,
08:48see if I can find it.
08:50I could do
08:50a few errands,
08:51then come back.
08:58Oh, Philip,
08:59I need you to wake up.
09:00We have a lot of things
09:05to talk about.
09:06We have a lot of things
09:07to talk about.
09:08It was awfully nice.
09:35It was awfully nice.
09:35I just wanted to give you
09:39a little something
09:40to think about.
09:41A small preview
09:43of what's in store tonight.
09:48I'm afraid
09:49that it might have
09:50backfired.
09:52What?
09:53Why?
09:55Because all it did
09:56was make me want more.
09:57right now.
10:00something I always admired
10:17about John.
10:21was his intuition.
10:32When you were hit
10:35by the car last year,
10:37almost everyone
10:39believed that Brady
10:41was guilty,
10:42including Brady.
10:43but Justin said
10:48that John
10:48believed in his son's
10:51innocence
10:51all along.
10:54Obviously,
10:55he was right.
10:57Though,
10:59no one's intuition
11:00led them to believe
11:01that Xander's
11:02witch of a mother
11:02is the one
11:03that ran me over.
11:05Not only did she
11:05put me in a wheelchair,
11:06then she nearly
11:07pushed me down the stairs
11:08in said wheelchair
11:09when I remembered
11:10that it was her
11:11that hit me.
11:12And obviously,
11:13we know where Xander
11:13gets his violent
11:14impulses from.
11:17Sorry.
11:19No, I'm doing it again.
11:21No.
11:22It's okay.
11:24You can talk about
11:25Xander, honey.
11:27Whenever you need to.
11:29I just feel so naive.
11:33When Xander and I
11:34remarried,
11:35I genuinely thought
11:36that he had changed.
11:39You know,
11:39that Victoria
11:40and I could count on him.
11:41And from then on out,
11:42he'd take the high road
11:43and not do anything
11:44that would land him
11:45in prison.
11:46I just...
11:47I don't understand.
11:49I could be so wrong
11:50about the man of you.
11:54The man you love?
11:55The man you love?
11:55Oh, Claire, I'm so sorry.
12:22I know how much
12:23you wanted to be here.
12:24Yes, yes, yes.
12:26We got the flowers.
12:27They were gorgeous.
12:31Well, listen, I am.
12:32I'm going to wrap up
12:33a couple cases here
12:34and come visit you
12:35in Johannesburg.
12:38Yeah, of course.
12:39I will let you know
12:40as soon as I book
12:41my flights.
12:42And please tell Theo
12:43I said hello, okay?
12:44I know.
12:46I love you too, baby.
12:48Okay.
12:52Oh, and Claire,
12:53yeah, I forgot.
12:54I wanted to tell you
12:55about this thing
12:58that Grandma said
12:59at the service.
13:01Yeah, yeah.
13:02It was a poem.
13:08Yeah, I mean,
13:10oh, and the flowers,
13:11yes, they were gorgeous.
13:13They really were.
13:16Yeah.
13:17What was that song
13:18we used to sing
13:18when you were a little?
13:19Gosh, I forgot
13:19how that went.
13:22Um, yeah.
13:25Yep, yep.
13:26And my feet
13:27are killing me.
13:29And Worcesters,
13:30I'll...
13:31Hi.
13:32Oh, gosh,
13:33you scared me.
13:36Are you going
13:37to say goodbye to Claire?
13:40Uh...
13:41You know,
13:43if this whole DA thing
13:44doesn't work out,
13:45at least we know
13:45you have a knack
13:46for improv.
13:49Yes, and?
13:50Belle,
13:53you know,
13:54you can be honest
13:56with me.
13:57If you really
13:58don't want to see
13:59or talk to me,
14:00just say the word
14:00and I'll respect
14:01your wishes.
14:07Sorry for what?
14:10Well, you, uh,
14:12you probably figured
14:13out that I, uh...
14:15Lied about being
14:17sick the other day?
14:19Yeah.
14:21I guess Belle
14:21told you everything?
14:24She told me
14:24what you told her.
14:26Yes.
14:27But neglected
14:28to tell me
14:29your boss.
14:33She said you were
14:34working on the down low
14:35to get this miracle
14:36cure for your dad.
14:38And before I say more,
14:40I want you to know
14:41that I am thrilled
14:42that it worked.
14:44Oh, thank you.
14:45You too.
14:46Except, uh...
14:50John.
14:55You know, it still
14:56doesn't feel real.
14:59I'm so sorry, Sean.
15:02I know how close
15:03Steve was to him, too.
15:06But from what I understand,
15:08he died a hero.
15:10Yes, she did.
15:14And without his help,
15:15we know I'd have never
15:15been able to break
15:16into the...
15:17You know what?
15:17Um, it's probably best
15:18that I don't know
15:19the details.
15:20Since, you know,
15:21I am your boss.
15:24Right.
15:25Yeah.
15:25Well, thank you
15:28for understanding.
15:42Oh.
15:45Sorry.
15:46Oh.
15:46Oh, my God.
15:47Hey.
15:48Hey.
15:49Hey, no worries.
15:50Um...
15:51Steph, I will, um...
15:55catch up with you
15:56later on
15:56when I'm finished.
15:58Okay?
15:59I will hold you to it.
16:00All right.
16:03Uh-huh.
16:07Uh-huh.
16:09Oh.
16:12Gee,
16:13so sorry to interrupt.
16:15But that could have been a page
16:16out of one story now.
16:20Please tell me
16:21you're here
16:22to accept my job offer.
16:23Well,
16:25as much as I am flattered
16:26that you think
16:27I'm the one
16:27to revive
16:28Titan's book
16:29publishing division,
16:31I'm afraid
16:31you're going to think
16:32differently about me
16:33in a moment.
16:34Why is that?
16:36Well,
16:37speaking of one stormy night,
16:38which I enjoyed
16:39the hell out of,
16:40let me tell you,
16:41I have
16:41somehow
16:43misplaced
16:45the manuscript.
16:47What?
16:47Where?
16:48Well,
16:49if I knew that,
16:50Alex,
16:50it wouldn't be misplaced,
16:51would it?
16:52But I have looked
16:52everywhere for it
16:54and it's gone.
17:01This is so
17:02damn
17:03disappointing.
17:04No,
17:04you know what?
17:05It's worse than disappointing.
17:07It's appalling.
17:09So,
17:09Sarah's poisoned
17:10all the co-workers
17:11against me then?
17:12Oh,
17:12you think that Sarah's
17:13the reason
17:14that everybody's angry
17:15with you?
17:16You made a promise
17:17to me
17:17that you were
17:18going to be
17:19a force for good,
17:20that you were
17:20going to run
17:21the hospital
17:21in an ethical manner.
17:22Do you remember that?
17:23Stand with the leg,
17:24Julia.
17:25On the mood.
17:26Oh,
17:26really?
17:27Facing your own
17:28consequences for
17:28your actions
17:29has made you grumpy?
17:31Oh,
17:31let me see why,
17:33maybe,
17:33because you lost
17:34your chance
17:34to buy the hospital?
17:35You completely
17:36destroyed your marriage,
17:38all for what?
17:39Some sick
17:39power trip?
17:41Your inability
17:43to control
17:44your anger
17:45may have just
17:46ruined your life
17:47for good this time.
17:50Enjoy your freedom
17:51while it lasts.
18:03God,
18:03help me,
18:04Mom.
18:04I,
18:05I do love him.
18:08I really should have
18:09realized a long time ago
18:11that love isn't enough,
18:13after what he almost
18:15did to Brady.
18:22But you,
18:23you can't trust him.
18:27And I think,
18:27I felt so guilty
18:29about keeping
18:30that secret from him,
18:31and he goes and does
18:32the exact thing
18:34that I was terrified
18:34he would do.
18:35well,
18:38at least your conscience
18:39can rest now
18:41knowing you did
18:42the right thing.
18:46Maybe.
18:49You don't think so?
18:54Xander
18:55said this thing
18:57when I kicked him
18:58out of the house
18:59and I just,
18:59I can't shake it.
19:00He said that if I
19:04would have told him
19:05from the start
19:06about the forgery,
19:07then he wouldn't have
19:07formed such a close
19:08bond with Philip,
19:09and then he wouldn't
19:10have gotten so angry
19:11when he found out
19:11the truth.
19:15Really?
19:16So,
19:17what was he gonna do,
19:18shrug it off?
19:19After he,
19:20he already hated
19:21his brother?
19:22I mean,
19:24it sounds like
19:25he's making excuses.
19:27He's trying to blame you
19:27for something
19:28that he had already done.
19:34You're right.
19:35See,
19:35see how easy
19:36I just get sucked
19:37into his deranged logic?
19:39And now he's demanding
19:41to see Victoria,
19:42and I'm just so afraid
19:43that,
19:44that what?
19:45That what?
19:46That he'll,
19:47that he'll hurt you
19:48or Victoria?
19:52No.
19:53No,
19:54he would never
19:55do that.
19:56I'm just,
19:56I'm more so afraid
19:57of myself.
19:59But I can't resist
20:01that pull he has
20:03over me.
20:06Oh.
20:10Well,
20:10of course you can,
20:11Sarah.
20:13A strong woman
20:15like you?
20:18I am strong.
20:20I just,
20:22when it comes
20:24to my feelings
20:25for Xander,
20:25I cannot trust myself.
20:27So I just,
20:29I would feel,
20:31I feel it's best
20:32if me and Victoria
20:34leave Salem.
20:34sorry,
20:48I didn't mean to put you
20:49on the spot.
20:51It's okay.
20:54Listen,
20:54EJ,
20:55I just have a lot
20:56going on right now,
20:57and I don't know
20:58that I have the bandwidth
20:59for whatever this is.
21:02very well.
21:06My hope was that
21:07I could alleviate
21:08some of your pain,
21:09but if I'm just
21:10going to be
21:11another problem
21:12for you to deal with,
21:13I'll...
21:13No,
21:13no,
21:13no,
21:14no,
21:14I didn't mean
21:15it like that.
21:17Listen,
21:17my feelings
21:18for you
21:19have not changed.
21:23And what's
21:24holding you back?
21:25I think you know
21:27I told you
21:28the other day.
21:31It's your assumption
21:32about your father
21:33that he would not
21:35have approved.
21:38EJ,
21:39I just,
21:40I need some time
21:41to figure things out.
21:44Of course.
21:46Of course,
21:46whatever you need.
21:47But as I've already
21:51told you,
21:52I love you,
21:54Belle.
21:56And I wish
21:58that I could be
21:58there for you
21:59right now.
22:01Are you serious?
22:19You misplaced
22:20the manuscript?
22:21I'm sorry.
22:22Oh,
22:23my...
22:24Damn it!
22:25What am I going to
22:25tell the author?
22:27Well,
22:27tell them
22:27that it's my fault.
22:30You know,
22:30I...
22:31I feel terrible
22:31about it.
22:32I really do,
22:32but my mind
22:33has been on
22:34other things.
22:34Philip's attack,
22:36John's passing...
22:37It's okay.
22:39Things happen,
22:41but where was
22:42the last time
22:42you remember
22:43having it?
22:45At the hospital
22:46yesterday,
22:47I think.
22:48Wait,
22:48this has been
22:48going on over a day?
22:50I thought
22:51it was going
22:51to turn up.
22:53Okay?
22:54I mean,
22:55look,
22:57I've been dreading
22:57having this conversation
22:59with you,
23:00actually,
23:00especially because
23:01I keep on imagining
23:02that someone
23:03might steal it
23:03and then claim
23:04it as their own.
23:07Let's pray
23:08for both of our sakes
23:09that doesn't happen.
23:10Hey, Mom.
23:23Oh,
23:23hey!
23:24To what do I owe
23:25the pleasure?
23:27I, um,
23:28I just wanted to talk to you
23:29about something,
23:29if you have a minute.
23:30Of course.
23:31What's going on?
23:35Sarah,
23:37as of now,
23:40Xander still has
23:41parental rights
23:42to Victoria.
23:45Now,
23:45if you try
23:45to skip town
23:46with her,
23:48he can make
23:48a case against you,
23:51especially because,
23:52well,
23:55it wouldn't be
23:55your first time
23:56of running
23:57off with a child.
24:01Yeah,
24:01I thought about that.
24:04You've got to be
24:05careful,
24:05Sarah.
24:07Xander will most
24:08likely go to prison,
24:09but still,
24:10if a custody case
24:12is open,
24:14the judge
24:14would be looking
24:15at the both of you.
24:16And in the end,
24:19they could decide
24:20that neither one
24:21of you
24:21are fit parents.
24:24I mean,
24:25I can't imagine
24:26a judge ruling
24:27that I'm an unfit parent
24:28because I'm trying
24:29to keep my daughter
24:29away from a violent criminal.
24:32And you want to make
24:33a wager on that?
24:38Sweetheart,
24:39yes,
24:40your worries
24:41are understandable.
24:43I'm scared to death
24:44that Xander's
24:45going to steal
24:45my granddaughter.
24:48But you said
24:49that he would
24:50not hurt her.
24:53So then,
24:54then why?
24:55Why would you
24:56uproot Victoria
24:57and take her
24:59away from her family
25:00and our own?
25:04Yeah, you're right.
25:08I can't run away
25:09from my problems.
25:12As much as I want
25:13to avoid Xander,
25:14hurry.
25:17You're right.
25:17The best thing
25:18is to confront
25:19this and him
25:20head on.
25:23Do that in.
25:24Sarah.
25:38Sarah.
25:44Hey.
25:45Um,
25:45I think we need to
25:47talk about Victoria.
25:48Can you eat?
25:50I'm on my way.
25:51I know these past
26:03few days have been
26:04especially hard on Dad.
26:05I mean,
26:06John was his best friend.
26:10But,
26:10closing down Black Patch,
26:14what do you make of that?
26:16Well, you know what?
26:19When your father told me
26:20earlier today,
26:20I had the same reaction
26:22that you are.
26:24But I think all we can
26:26really do is support him
26:28and if it's not
26:29a good decision,
26:30let him come to that
26:31conclusion on his own.
26:33I have to say selfishly,
26:36I kind of hope
26:38that it's the end
26:39of an era
26:40and on to
26:42a new,
26:42less dangerous one.
26:44In that case,
26:49do you think I could
26:51host a special dinner
26:52tonight to celebrate,
26:54Dad?
26:55I was thinking
26:56maybe the bistro.
26:58Yeah.
26:59Guess I'll have
27:00that for lunch tomorrow.
27:01Sure.
27:02Why not?
27:03Okay.
27:04Perfect.
27:04I mean,
27:05I know,
27:05I know that it's been
27:06a long day for Dad,
27:07for everyone,
27:08but I'm just,
27:09I'm hoping that this
27:11might lift his spirits.
27:14and I think
27:15you'll love it.
27:17Okay.
27:18Then I'll text you
27:18when I know the time.
27:19Wonderful.
27:20Okay.
27:21Thanks, baby.
27:22Mm-hmm.
27:41I just have no idea
27:42where it is.
27:44that I'm going
27:44to keep looking.
27:45Please do.
27:48Anyway,
27:48I know you're probably
27:49worried that this
27:50might have changed
27:51my mind about
27:51giving you the job offer,
27:53but it hasn't.
27:55You have an impressive
27:56resume, Kate.
27:58One little slip-up
27:58does not negate
28:00the value
28:00that you bring
28:01to this company.
28:04Look,
28:05um,
28:05as much as I
28:07appreciate
28:07that,
28:09I still have to
28:10decline the offer.
28:12Really?
28:14I thought you were
28:14leaning towards a yes.
28:16Yes,
28:16I was.
28:17That's before one of your
28:18CEOs nearly murdered
28:19my son.
28:20Who happens to be
28:21another CEO?
28:24Still,
28:25I don't see myself
28:26working for Xander.
28:28He's a monster,
28:29Alex.
28:32Hang on.
28:33Your anger
28:34towards Xander
28:35wouldn't have
28:35anything to do
28:36with you
28:36misplacing the
28:37manuscript,
28:38would it?
28:38Oh,
28:38come off it.
28:39Even if I were
28:40going to sabotage
28:41the company,
28:42I wouldn't do it
28:43by losing
28:44an artist's work
28:45who obviously
28:45had nothing
28:46to do with it.
28:48True.
28:50Anyway,
28:51if Xander
28:52is the only
28:53sticking point
28:55for you,
28:57maybe you'd
28:58reconsider my offer
28:59if he was
29:01convicted.
29:01you had to
29:03step down
29:03as CEO.
29:08Well,
29:09I mean,
29:10Titan has been
29:11a big part
29:12of my life
29:13on and off
29:15throughout
29:16the years.
29:19I would
29:20certainly
29:20consider returning
29:21if the
29:22circumstances
29:23were right.
29:24All right,
29:24then.
29:26Let me see
29:27what I can do
29:27about those
29:28pesky circumstances.
29:30Make them
29:31right.
29:31so it appears
29:40your phone
29:40is working
29:41after all.
29:43I'm not going
29:44to apologize
29:44to you
29:45for ignoring
29:45your call,
29:46Xander.
29:47I needed
29:48a little time
29:49to process
29:49the fact
29:49that my husband
29:50tried to kill
29:50his brother.
29:51Allegedly.
29:53And now you've
29:53had time
29:54to process.
29:56Are you ready
29:57to come to your
29:57senses regarding
29:58our daughter?
29:58If you're
30:00talking about
30:01joint custody,
30:01that is not
30:02happening.
30:03I just spoke
30:04to my attorney.
30:05Oh,
30:05your attorney?
30:06Is this attorney
30:07aware of your
30:08entire rap sheet?
30:10Let me tell you
30:10something.
30:10If you try to
30:11go down this road
30:12and sue for
30:13custody,
30:13there's not a
30:14judge in the
30:15world that will
30:15agree with you
30:16right now.
30:18So that's it?
30:20You're going to
30:21keep my daughter
30:21from me.
30:22I'm forbidden
30:23from what?
30:25Reading a bedtime
30:26story,
30:26singing a lullabies?
30:27No, I...
30:28I don't know.
30:33Oh, you don't
30:34know?
30:34You called me
30:35over here to
30:36tell me that
30:36you don't know.
30:37No, I called
30:38you over here
30:38to discuss
30:39visitation.
30:43Visitation?
30:45Yeah.
30:47So?
30:49Here is the
30:49offer.
30:52You can have
30:53supervised visits
30:54here at the
30:55mansion.
30:58You will agree
30:59to my terms.
31:00You will not
31:00show up unannounced.
31:03And you will
31:03only come at
31:04times that work
31:05for me and
31:05Victoria.
31:06That is it.
31:07Take it or
31:07leave it.
31:12Take it.
31:19Hey.
31:24Thought you, uh,
31:25thought you
31:25went home.
31:26Still here.
31:28Just needed
31:28some coffee.
31:31Right.
31:31Um, listen, I
31:32don't mean to
31:32pull you out of
31:33work mode, but
31:34do you, uh,
31:35do you have a few
31:35minutes to talk?
31:36Sure.
31:37I mean, I guess
31:38I'm not getting
31:38much work done
31:39anyway.
31:40What's up?
31:42Uh, well,
31:43I just, uh,
31:45I just talked to
31:45our daughter.
31:46She said that
31:47you're planning to
31:48go visit her.
31:49Yeah, I am.
31:50I miss her.
31:51It's been too
31:52long.
31:53Yeah, I feel
31:54the same way.
31:55I've actually been
31:55planning to go
31:56visit her, too.
31:58So, um, I don't
32:00know if you could
32:01maybe, you know,
32:02let me know when
32:02you're planning to
32:03go and then, um...
32:04And then we
32:05won't have to go
32:06at the same time?
32:07Is that what
32:08you were going to
32:08say?
32:16Hey!
32:22Hey!
32:24Hey!
32:25Do you have any
32:26plans for tonight?
32:27Eh, you're
32:28looking at them.
32:30Well, don't get
32:31too comfortable.
32:33I was hoping that
32:34maybe you could
32:34come to a little
32:35impromptu celebration
32:38dinner to celebrate
32:39my dad's retirement.
32:42Retirement?
32:43He decided to close
32:45down Black Patch.
32:46What?
32:48I mean, your dad
32:49is so full of
32:50passion and vigor.
32:52I just...
32:52I can't imagine him
32:53being ready to retire.
32:55I know.
32:56Me neither.
32:58But I guess with
33:00John gone now,
33:02it just wouldn't
33:03be the same.
33:07So, I am going
33:08to make a reservation
33:09at the bistro
33:10for tonight.
33:11Can I add your
33:12name to the list?
33:13Of course.
33:15Oh.
33:20Hi.
33:21Hey!
33:22I thought you
33:23were working late.
33:25Change of plans.
33:26I couldn't stop
33:27thinking about what
33:28happened in my office
33:29earlier, so...
33:31Oh.
33:31Hey, Jada.
33:40Hey.
33:42Listen, I'm going to
33:43go out and run
33:43a quick errand,
33:44so I'll see you
33:45later at that
33:46gathering, yeah?
33:46Yes, sounds good.
33:47Okay, bye.
33:48Bye.
33:51That gathering.
33:55Did you make plans
33:56for tonight?
34:10Yes.
34:12Ah.
34:14Do you have a moment?
34:15Well, for the new
34:17owner of the hospital,
34:19sure.
34:20Why not?
34:20I just wanted to stop
34:22in and say that I'm
34:23very much looking
34:23forward to working
34:24with you, Kayla.
34:25After all, we share
34:26a common goal of
34:27providing excellent
34:28health care for the
34:28people of Salem.
34:29And I know that you
34:32were reluctant to
34:33support me.
34:35I didn't support you.
34:39Well, so much for
34:41the anonymous ballot.
34:44Would you prefer to
34:45have an attempted
34:46murder as your boss?
34:48As opposed to...
34:50I'm not quite sure
34:53what you're implying.
34:54Oh, come on, EJ.
34:55Yes, you do.
34:57We both know all the
34:58things that you've done
34:59to people I love.
35:02I would like to
35:03believe that you
35:05have changed, as you
35:06say, but I highly
35:07doubt it.
35:10So, you know,
35:11hope springs eternal,
35:12so I'm going to pray
35:13that what you say
35:14is true.
35:16And, I mean,
35:18after all, the
35:20hospital is in need
35:20of good, honest
35:22leadership.
35:25Otherwise, we are
35:25all going down again.
35:29I'm sorry.
35:32I'm sorry.
35:33That came out the
35:34wrong way.
35:35Of course, you and I
35:37can handle visiting our
35:38daughter at the same
35:39time.
35:40Yes.
35:40I mean, come on,
35:41of course we can.
35:43Right?
35:43If it comes to that.
35:45Right.
35:45Yeah, if it comes to that.
35:49Um, listen, I should
35:50probably warn you that I
35:52told Jada that...
35:54That I was with my dad
35:55and, uh, and why.
35:58When I called and said,
35:59yeah.
36:00Yeah, I know.
36:01I'm sorry.
36:03I am, I really didn't
36:04mean to get you in
36:05trouble.
36:06But, honestly, she kind
36:07of knew that you were
36:07lying.
36:08Hey, it's cool.
36:09She, uh, she understood.
36:12Okay.
36:12Good.
36:14But I did get the sense
36:15that she wasn't very
36:15happy that, that I told
36:17you and I didn't tell
36:18her.
36:20Oh.
36:21Okay, so, so you two
36:23are together again?
36:25No.
36:27I mean, no, Belle, we
36:29were never together.
36:30She's my boss, and so she
36:31just doesn't like to be
36:32left out of the loop.
36:34Hmm.
36:35Right.
36:36Makes sense.
36:37Yeah.
36:38Well, everything did
36:39happen to hate to lie
36:40to her.
36:41Yeah.
36:42I'm not a big fan of
36:43lying, either.
36:44To other people.
36:47Or to myself.
36:51Good.
36:53I'm glad we came to
36:54an understanding.
36:58I suppose I'll
36:59head out, then.
37:00after a quick visit
37:03with Victoria.
37:04There, no.
37:05You cannot see her
37:06right now.
37:08Why not?
37:09Because she's down
37:09for the night.
37:11Just sneak a quick
37:12pee.
37:12I said no, and you
37:13just agreed to my
37:14terms.
37:19Fine.
37:21Well, can you at least
37:22give her this?
37:24Tell her it's from her
37:24dad, who loves her,
37:27misses her very much.
37:29If that isn't a
37:30violation of your
37:31terms.
37:32Zira, I did...
37:33I am sorry that it has
37:35to be this way, but I
37:36did not choose this.
37:38You did.
37:38And when Philip wakes up
37:40and tells everyone that
37:41you are the one that
37:42tried to kill him,
37:43you will surely go to
37:44prison.
37:45And if you did do it,
37:46then you deserve to.
37:47So no, you cannot go
37:48wake up our sleeping baby
37:50to give her a gift or for
37:51any other reason, because
37:52her mother makes the
37:53rules now.
37:53Well, that must be so
37:57hard for you, making
37:59rules, since you're not
38:01in the least bit
38:02control, and I...
38:03Do not enjoy any of it.
38:04You could have
38:05fooled me.
38:06Get off your high
38:07horse, Sarah.
38:08You're the one who
38:09set all this in motion.
38:10You're the one who
38:11broke the sacred trust
38:13of our marriage.
38:13The only reason you
38:14think I beat up
38:16Philip is because you
38:17created the conditions
38:18that you know were
38:19driving to do...
38:19It is not my fault
38:21that you tried to
38:21kill your brother.
38:23And when you do go
38:24to prison and miss
38:26out on our daughter's
38:27life, the only person
38:28that you have to blame
38:29is yourself.
38:42So, I understand
38:43that you have talked
38:44to Dr. Russell.
38:46I have.
38:47So, you are aware
38:48that Beau was given
38:50a dose of the
38:50VersaVix, and, um,
38:52he had a more
38:53miraculous recovery
38:54than any of us
38:55expected.
38:56Mm-hmm.
38:56Such wonderful news.
38:58I agree.
38:59But, unlike me,
39:01this news is only
39:02wonderful to you
39:03because you are
39:03sitting on a
39:04possible gold money.
39:06In a business sense,
39:09yes.
39:10I'm excited by the
39:11money-making potential
39:12of this new medical
39:12advancement.
39:14As I've said,
39:15my goal is simply
39:15to run a
39:18financially viable
39:19hospital that best
39:20serves the people.
39:22And in that spirit,
39:23I have my lawyers
39:24and accountants
39:25review the hospital's
39:26budget, and there
39:27are a few changes
39:29I'd like to make.
39:32Um, I'll tell you
39:34my thoughts.
39:35I look forward to
39:36hearing from you.
39:37Good day.
39:50Hmph.
39:55I would have
39:59asked you, but I
39:59thought that you
40:00were working late.
40:01But I haven't made
40:02the reservation yet,
40:03so you're welcome
40:04to join, obviously.
40:05I don't know, baby.
40:09I'm not your
40:09parents' favorite
40:10person.
40:12Well, they're
40:13going to have to
40:13get over that,
40:14aren't they?
40:14Hmph.
40:16And when the
40:18celebration's over,
40:19we can go back
40:21to your place
40:22and maybe, uh,
40:24pick up where
40:25we left off
40:26in your office.
40:28Hmph.
40:30Liking this idea
40:32more and more.
40:33Hmph.
40:35Hmph.
40:35So, uh,
40:43what are you
40:44lying to yourself
40:45about?
40:47Well, I think
40:49I'm just, uh,
40:51confused about
40:51my feelings.
40:56Well,
40:57like, you and I,
40:59we've been married
41:02on and off

41:14admit that I,

41:29be there for you.
41:31I do, but
41:32I can't be
41:35the way that I used
41:36to.
41:39I know when you
41:40were my wife.
41:41I know.
41:45I know I can
41:46count on you
41:47if I need to.
41:50Yeah.
41:52Definitely can.
41:54No, I will always,
41:56always care about you.
41:59And I'll always
42:00be here for you.
