Days Of Our Lives – Episode 6-23 (2025)
Transcript
00:00I gotta admit, I was, uh, surprised that you wanted to meet, given everything that's gone
00:12on between us. Come on, it wasn't all that bad. I thought it'd be nice for us to grab
00:19dinner together. For all time's sake. I know what you're doing. Really? Do tell. Yeah,
00:26you said you wanted to meet up and talk about business. And while I do appreciate all the
00:32ad revenue that Gabby Sheik brings to the Spectator, I'm not going to give you some kind of sweetheart
00:36deal. I didn't ask you here to talk about the Spectator. Okay, then what do you want to
00:44talk about? Their birthright.
00:56Well, well, someone looks like the cat who ate the canary. Make that several canaries.
01:15What took you so long? I practically had to schlep to the hinterlands and back,
01:20since you asked me to hide it where no one could find it. Did you get it or not?
01:24Yes. As you requested. Thank you. But if I hand this over to you, I take no responsibility
01:31for whatever damage it may cause. It's an insurance policy. Nothing more.
01:38Well, I'm about ready for dinner, you are. Rita. Oh, good evening. If aren't you looking
01:47well, you have an age today. I swear it. Just as charming as your father, Mr. DiMera.
01:55Well, that's a high bar, of course. I'd ask you what you came by for this evening, but I think
02:01that would be quite obvious. It's what my brother thought he could hide from me.
02:07That spot would belong to me. Pay up, Uncle JJ.
02:20Pay up. Watch your back, kiddo. Your grandpa may have mellow with age, but he's not against
02:26swindling you out of your heart or anything. JJ, he is just teasing, honey. Stick with me,
02:32Thomas. I'll give you the real family history. Yeah. Charlotte, she's staying home with us
02:37now. Oh, I bet Charlotte is having a big time on her spa day with Julie. Right, right. But
02:42we'll make sure that she knows how much fun she missed when she comes to our next family game night.
02:49Aw. And we'll be for a while, right? Because I have to head back to Boston tonight.
02:54I'm afraid so, champ, but I can remember. Spectator's not the only paper we own. We gotta go check out
03:01that one, too. But we're gonna be back so soon because your grandpa and I decided that we want
03:06to visit Salem more often. Mm-hmm. It's great, but why? Why? Well, because we miss you and your
03:16sister and JJ and all this, we miss our family. Sure that's all? Yeah, sweetie, of course. I mean,
03:26what other reason would there be? I'm gonna go get a chocolate chip cookie. Bring one back for
03:35everyone. Thank you. Thanks. Hey, no complaints here. I meant about you guys coming back to Salem more
03:45often. But like Thomas, I'm wondering if there is a reason. That's the reason we gave Thomas.
03:56We miss our family. That and your mother wants us to keep an eye on Kat Green.
04:08Aaron is off with his friends tonight. It's just you and me, kiddo. What do you want me to pick up for
04:12dinner? I do not think Chanel's black forest cake is going to be a balanced meal. Nice try, Felicity.
04:22Uh, yeah, no, no, I'm, I'm still here. Um, actually, uh, I think I'll, uh, I'll pick up burgers for us
04:46tonight at the bistro. Sound good? Okay. Okay. Okay. Yeah. See you then. Okay. Bye.
05:03Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.
05:08My birthright.
05:22Kiriakis brothers are running your family business into the ground. It's time when a Stefanos
05:26children reclaims it. If you ask me, you're the perfect Amara for the job. Yeah, look, I, I, uh,
05:33I already told DJ and Kristen that if they wanted to make a play for the company, I'd have their back,
05:36but there's, there's no way I'm getting my hands dirty. Why not? Why not? Because for decades,
05:43it's, it's basically just been a, uh, corrupt front for legal activity. That's why. So you could
05:49clean it up and turn it into something respectable, make your father proud. Stefano? Yeah, Stefano would
05:56hate that, that sanitized version you're talking about. Let's be honest, Debbie, the company only really
06:02ever existed to fund my family's lies and schemes and cover-ups.
06:09I think something. I don't know what you're talking about. You may be having to distract other
06:14people with your charm, but not me. It may be wise to seek counsel from someone you trust,
06:20Mr. Demera. Well, I'll leave you both to it. Please tell Mrs. Demera I said hello.
06:28Oh, Anna will hate that she missed you. Likewise. Don't be a stranger.
06:33I won't. Well, we're going to be needing your services sometime in the future.
06:37I serve at the pleasure of the Demeras.
06:39She's right, you know. Now, if you are any kind of trouble, you can confide in me.
06:53I'm not the one who's in trouble, Tony. It's my son.
07:10Oh, my God. I'm not talking about turning Demera into the Gates Foundation.
07:15But you can't be shrewd and raking profits without laundering money for criminals.
07:19Why do you care if I throw my hat around? Hmm? What's in it for you?
07:27Getting out from under Xander and Philip's thumbs. That's what.
07:30I've reached my breaking point. I can't work with them anymore.
07:32Listen, then why don't you just quit? Take Gabby Chic with you.
07:35If that were an option, I wouldn't be here.
07:38I signed an exclusive deal with Demera.
07:42A contract the Titan acquired in the takeover. I can't go anywhere for another two years.
07:46And by that time...
07:47The stock will tank more than it already has.
07:51Look, I don't know what really went down with Xander and Philip, but the damage is done.
07:56The company is about to implode.
07:58And if that happens, I'll lose everything.
08:01And so will you.
08:04Me?
08:07Well, your children will certainly lose a whole lot.
08:10If Demera goes under, that's their legacy going down the drain, too.
08:16Look.
08:19I know the reason you bought the Spectator was to honor Abigail's memory.
08:24And that's amazing.
08:26But this passion project of yours isn't as lucrative as a Fortune 500 company.
08:32We want the same thing here, Chad.
08:34Neither of us grew up in the lap of luxury.
08:36But we've been able to provide a better life for our kids.
08:42In order to keep doing that, you need to step up to the plate.
08:49Promise me that you'll at least think about it.
09:03What's this?
09:04It's a memory stick.
09:05Well, I can see that.
09:07What has that got to do with my nephew?
09:10And what exactly is on this?
09:12It's from a camera.
09:13That was hidden in this very room the night I was shot.
09:19I think we better start from the beginning.
09:21Except we're going to need another source to corroborate E.J.'s supposed plans at the hospital.
09:35Because I don't want to look like a fool if your first source is full of crap.
09:38That's why.
09:40You know what, Leo?
09:41I'll just talk to you tomorrow, okay?
09:44Bye.
09:44Lady Gossipmonger is at it again, I see.
09:50You know, Leo's actually turning out to be a pretty impressive journalist.
09:54He's got some bad habits to break, but we'll get there.
09:58First hobby.
09:58Now, you...
09:59Why is everyone giving that little weasel a second chance?
10:03And what's up with you?
10:05You're walking around like my abuelita used to when her gout flared up.
10:08Uh, just, um, you know, a little skydiving mishap.
10:12Oh.
10:16Oh.
10:17Wait.
10:18You're serious?
10:19I'm sorry, is my near-death experience hilarious to you?
10:22No.
10:23I just never took you for the skydiving type.
10:26Yeah, I'm not the skydiving type.
10:27It was, um, it was Kat's idea for the bachelorette auction date thing.
10:32You actually bid on Kat Green after everything she did to you and your family?
10:39No, I didn't.
10:41EJ did.
10:44So someone planted a camera in her home?
10:47I don't remember much the night I was shot, but I do remember finding a camera just before it happened.
10:54But who would do such a thing?
10:56Along the list, then either of us would like to admit, I'm afraid.
10:59But the better question is, who could get in here and plant it undetected?
11:04That's troubling.
11:06But what has this got to do with Johnny?
11:09Everything.
11:12What is it you're not telling me?
11:16I have your word that this goes no further.
11:19What, we have to ask that question?
11:23I was able to play back the footage on the camera's memory stick.
11:27Johnny was here that night.
11:29He was lacing me, blaming me for everything that had gone wrong in his life.
11:34Well, father-son quarrel, where have we heard that before?
11:38He had a gun, Tony.
11:42What are you saying?
11:45That your own son tried to shoot you?
11:48I'm afraid I am.
11:49You landed on my property, Grandma.
11:59You know what?
12:00You have cleaned me out.
12:02I think that's it.
12:03I think I'm done.
12:05I'm out of the game.
12:06That's okay.
12:07And we'll make you pay up.
12:09Oh.
12:09Want to do a trade instead?
12:10What did you have in mind?
12:14Tell me the real reason you guys are going to be visiting more often.
12:18Is something wrong?
12:20Is someone sick?
12:23Sick?
12:24No, no, no.
12:25No, no.
12:25Not at all.
12:26Oh.
12:26No.
12:28Everything's just fine.
12:29Actually, we didn't give you the real reason.
12:30Actually, your grandmother and I, well, we want to spend more time with Julie.
12:38Julie?
12:39Hmm?
12:40Yeah.
12:41You know, she is still feeling really sad since Doug passed away.
12:47Oh.
12:48Sometimes you're crying when she doesn't know I'm there.
12:51Yeah, and you know, having family and friends here, it's been really so good for her, even
12:57if it was such a sad occasion.
12:59And now we're all leaving town again, so we think she's just going to be sad.
13:05Yeah.
13:06So your grandmother and I want to be here for Julie to help care for her.
13:12Does that make sense?
13:14Yeah.
13:17Wow.
13:18Really devoured those cookies, huh?
13:20Let me see what other snacks I can scrounge up for us.
13:23Okay.
13:23Dad, you want to give me a hand?
13:25Oh.
13:25Sure.
13:26Sure.
13:29Decently safe.
13:35You think?
13:36What was I supposed to say?
13:38Your grandmother doesn't trust Daddy's friend?
13:41Look, I don't understand why Mom is suddenly on this now.
13:45Kat and Jen have been working together for months.
13:46I think it was when she found out about the date.
13:51That's what set her off.
13:52Okay.
13:53Can't blame her there.
13:55But it was for charity.
13:57Funrise was over, so there's no reason for them to be hanging out anymore.
14:01Except she has the sense that Chad and Kat are dead to hang out together a lot more in the future.
14:05Well, look, if that's the case, Mom won't be the only one keeping an eye on Kat Green.
14:14So will I.
14:18Well, at least you got an exciting story for your donation.
14:21I mean, all I got was a boring as hell dinner with Alex.
14:24Well, then next time we'll trade, because at this stage in my life, boring sounds pretty good.
14:28You know, except boring and Kat Green don't go hand in hand.
14:34No judgment.
14:35I actually admire Kat.
14:37You know, she seems to be working hard to make amends and make up for everything that she did wrong, you know?
14:44And I'm glad that you could rescue her before she fell into your brother's toxic web.
14:48You know, I can't believe he actually had the nerve to bid on her.
14:52Yeah, well, EJ insists that he's not interested in her.
14:55EJ's interested in anyone willing to turn a blind eye to his behavior, personality, and pretty much his whole vibe.
15:02Which is Belle at the moment.
15:06But seriously, Kat should be thanking you.
15:09She dodged one hell of bullet.
15:10What are you doing here?
15:28Well, you're lucky.
15:30It was a friendly face sneaking up on you.
15:32You could have been in some serious danger, Miss Cree.
15:35Well, I've no hello for your old boss.
15:47I thought you and Kat would have gone your separate ways after the fundraiser.
15:54And now you're jumping out of airplanes together.
15:57Airplane.
15:58Singular.
15:58Yeah, checked off my bucket list.
16:00Never on my bucket list at the beginning.
16:01Uh-huh, don't teach a subject.
16:03You know, you didn't have to swoop in and save Kat from me, Jay.
16:07What's really going on between you two?
16:11Nothing.
16:12Just...
16:13I've, uh...
16:16I've gotten to learn a little bit more about Kat Green over the last few months, and...
16:21The more I learn about her, the more I like her.
16:25Hmm.
16:25I'm sorry.
16:29I...
16:29I didn't mean to startle you.
16:32Like hell you did, and you were trying to test me.
16:35Well, can you blame me for wanting to make sure my employees were all on their toes?
16:40Keeping their wits about them.
16:42Former employee.
16:44And I was never one of your field agents.
16:47Being an analyst was plenty of danger for me, thank you very much.
16:50Yeah, so you have been avoiding my calls, then.
16:54Yeah, I have been.
16:55Because there's nothing left to discuss.
16:58You want me back at the agency, and I have absolutely no interest in that.
17:02Yeah, well, I'm afraid you have no choice in the matter.
17:10You're mad.
17:12Daddy wouldn't do anything so...
17:13despicable, so heinous.
17:15You've been gone a long time, brother.
17:18A lot has transpired between my son and me in the interim.
17:21All right, so he was cross with you.
17:23Doesn't mean that he'd want to kill you.
17:24He was more than just cross with me, Tony.
17:27In his mind, I cost him and Chanel the chance to adopt that baby that they so desperately wanted.
17:33All right, so that was a difficult time for him.
17:35Doesn't justify the fact that he would shoot you.
17:38No.
17:40But learning that his father raped his mother, damn well would.
17:45You like Katrin, as in likely?
17:50Oh, stop, what?
17:51What are we in high school?
17:53It's not like that.
17:55If you say so.
17:56I'm serious.
17:58Uh-huh.
18:00But we're just friends, you know, and I'm getting enough grief for that alone right now, so.
18:06It would begrudge you making a friend.
18:07And Jennifer, my mother-in-law.
18:13Yeah, she does not want Kat anywhere near me or my kids.
18:17No.
18:17What is that, some kind of threat?
18:24You can't force me to come back to the agency.
18:27No, well, of course not.
18:29No, I'm just hoping when I explain to you the stakes that you'll decide you can't possibly walk away.
18:34With all due respect, sir, watch me.
18:42Now, why is it whenever anyone says, with all due respect, it's usually followed by anything but?
18:49You know precisely what my time at the ISA cost me.
19:03I investigated Clyde Weston's drug ring for you.
19:07I thought I was a nobody in intelligence.
19:10I wasn't in the field, so what could be the danger, right?
19:12Except that I got burned, sir.
19:15Not only did I get burned, my father was killed.
19:17My mother was kidnapped at Brain Lord.
19:19Yeah, I know the trying ordeal you went through, Ms. Green.
19:25Trying ordeal.
19:29Trying ordeal.
19:31I was almost killed.
19:33Do you know how many surgeries I had to go through to reconstruct my face, to rehabilitate my entire body?
19:37No, of course I did.
19:38The ISA footed the bill.
19:41Oh, wow.
19:43Is that what this is?
19:44You're what?
19:45You're making me come back to work to pay off my debt?
19:47No, of course not.
19:49It's the least the agency could do to honor your services.
19:55Good.
19:56Good.
19:57That's great, because my service has now ended.
20:00I have to take care of my brother and my sister.
20:05I can't afford to end up like John Black.
20:12You know, what you did to Samantha was disgraceful.
20:18And Kate and Roman had no right to tell Johnny like that.
20:20But now you see why my son would want me dead.
20:25But that doesn't prove that he pulled the trigger.
20:27Oh, come on, Tony.
20:28I have him on camera pointing a gun at me.
20:31To say nothing of the fact that he was telling anyone who would listen that he wished me dead.
20:35There's not a jury in the world that would exonerate him.
20:37Maybe we go to prison for a long time.
20:43I can't let that happen, Tony.
20:46I won't.
20:48I need to protect my son at all costs.
20:50Oh, so am I.
21:01That was a low blow, Miss Green.
21:04You know perfectly well John Black was more than just an agency asset to me.
21:08He was a good friend.
21:10He died exactly as he lived his life as a real hero.
21:15Okay, well, I wonder if he knew he would leave Dr. Evans and all of his loved ones behind,
21:23if he would have chosen a different path.
21:24It wouldn't have changed a thing.
21:29Okay, well, maybe you're right.
21:31I don't know.
21:31I never met John, but...
21:34The way people spoke of him, he...
21:39It was clear that he was a really great man.
21:41Oh, the world's a darker place because he's not in it.
21:46That's why the rest of us have to step up in his absence.
21:52Okay, I'll bite.
21:55Why do you need me back at the agency?
21:59Well, for one thing, you're one of the best analysts I've ever worked with.
22:04You have plenty of analysts' thousands, I'm sure.
22:07Give it to me straight.
22:08Why me?
22:10Anne?
22:11Because of your personal connection to the case.
22:24It's not like Jennifer doesn't have a right to be concerned about Kat.
22:27I mean, considering everything that's happened?
22:29Yeah, well, Kat and I worked through all that.
22:32Right.
22:33You and Kat did.
22:35It wasn't just your heart that she played with.
22:38Jack and Jennifer were given false hope to.
22:40Kat didn't want to do any of that, though.
22:42Clyde Weston was going to kill her mother.
22:44I get that.
22:45But clearly, Jennifer doesn't think that that gives her a pass.
22:50I mean, to her, Kat Green will always be the person who...
22:54Well...
22:55The person hated her dead daughter.
23:03There you go.
23:09Nice going, buddy.
23:10The kid is a shark.
23:11What am I telling...
23:12I'm telling you, look.
23:13Let's play another round.
23:14Oh, no.
23:15We're not going to do this again.
23:17Besides, I think your Uncle JJ probably has better plans than hanging out with his parents and nephew tonight.
23:23Not really.
23:24Gabby dumped him.
23:26Right, Uncle JJ?
23:28Wow.
23:29Hey.
23:29Thanks a lot, Thomas.
23:30Jim, you're sending me things, huh?
23:32Uh, kind of wish you hadn't.
23:37Gabby?
23:39Gabby DeMera?
23:40Gabby DeMera?
23:40She's technically at Hernandez again, if that helps.
23:44Oh, no.
23:46No, that doesn't help.
23:47Have you forgotten all the horrible things that she did to Julie?
23:50Of course not.
23:51Or maybe all of your cousins that she's been involved with?
23:55Will, Eli, Nick?
23:57Yeah, it's our time.
23:57Let's go get some cookies.
24:00Come on.
24:01It's okay.
24:02Yeah, well, we'll...
24:03Yeah.
24:04Well?
24:05Mom, this is why I never said anything to you.
24:07I knew you'd react this way.
24:08No, you didn't say anything because you know that I'm right.
24:12Why would you be so worried about Chad and Kat and be fine with Gabby?
24:17Because what Gabby did is nothing compared to how Kat hurt our family.
24:22Are you kidding?
24:22It's bad enough.
24:23I think, Jennifer, I think you made your points.
24:26Don't tell me you're okay with this.
24:29Jennifer, I'm just saying that sometimes we can't quite help who our hearts want to be with.
24:35Okay, look, like Thomas said, Gabby and Arthur.
24:38It's all moot.
24:40She wants nothing to do with me.
24:44So you're sure that this is over?
24:48It's kind of hard to come back from accusing someone of attempted murder.
24:51I'm sorry.
24:58Obviously, this is putting you in a weird position.
25:02The only silver lining is that Jennifer never told the kids.
25:08They really like her, so...
25:10Tommy!
25:15Hey, it's nice to see you.
25:18Ah, it's been a while, hasn't it?
25:21Yeah, I heard that you and Anna were coming for John's funeral.
25:25Yes, I don't want to be here for Carrie.
25:28Interesting choice of dinner, companion.
25:31Nice to see you too, E.J.
25:33Hello, Tony.
25:35Gabriella.
25:36Well, seeing that we're all here, would I have to be in mind if E.J. and I joined you?
25:40My personal connection to the case.
25:50Yes, well, you worked on a similar case for the agency back in the day.
25:55Outstanding work, by the way.
25:58And you are perfectly positioned for us in your job with Marlena as her assistant.
26:05Okay, I'm not tracking.
26:10The Demera criminal enterprises have been on the ISA raid offer, well, since forever.
26:18But despite our best efforts, we just haven't been able to bring them down.
26:23But now, now that Titan has recently taken over Demera, they're weakened.
26:30There's blood in the water.
26:31So, how is the time to really go for them?
26:37So, my job at the hospital.
26:40Well, it's obvious E.J. is the new owner.
26:44Question is, how did he come up with the funds to make the purchase?
26:49Our intel tells us he couldn't possibly raise the money on his own.
26:53He has to have had an infusion of cash from somewhere.
26:55So, who is this partner investor, and what do they hope to gain?
27:04That's what we need you to find out.
27:06That's a lovely offer, Tony.
27:20But I was just leaving.
27:21We, our archers haven't arrived yet.
27:23I've lost my appetite.
27:26Why?
27:27Uh, the area in here just got positively frigid.
27:30Anybody care to tell me what this is all about?
27:32No? Oh, well, um, well, maybe I should not know.
27:40No, you shouldn't.
27:43Uh, I'm gave the maitre d'ing my cart.
27:46Yeah.
27:47No.
27:48A dinner's on me.
27:50I asked you to dinner to talk business.
27:53No arguments.
27:55Good night.
27:56Good night, Gabriella.
27:57Sorry, I'm for you, girl.
28:01I've been meaning to reach out to you.
28:03Um, I don't suppose you've heard from your ex-husband, have you, lately?
28:14Something shady going on with E.J. DiMera.
28:17Isn't that just status quo?
28:21No, you make a good point.
28:23And we know that no one buys a failing hospital out of a sense of altruism.
28:31We do know that E.J. is trying to lay claim to a patent on a new drug in development, but the payoff on that is years away.
28:41Okay, so, whatever else he's planning, and Kayla's pretty sure it's something nefarious, we need to get out ahead of it.
28:59There's really no one else who can do this job.
29:03No one as good as you.
29:04As I said, you are perfectly poised, working on the inside.
29:12And we know how important this hospital is to you, personally, since your younger sister received life-saving surgery when she was an infant.
29:25Oh.
29:26You always do your homework, don't you, Director?
29:30Always.
29:32So, can we count on you?
29:34Fine.
29:41I'll keep my ears open.
29:43And I'll report back to you if I hear anything.
29:46Only if I hear anything useful.
29:51Splendid.
29:56But when this is done, so am I.
30:00So you and the agency will leave me alone.
30:05For good.
30:07For good.
30:12Stefan?
30:12I haven't heard from him since he last left Salem.
30:16Why do you ask?
30:17Well, the most curious thing, when Anna and I were visiting Alemania during our travels, we decided we should reach out to him and see if he wanted to get together.
30:28But we never heard back.
30:33Yeah, well, look.
30:34Stefan's been threatening to cut the eyes of the family for years.
30:37I went into the sleepover.
30:38Actually, our brother sent me what I assume was a get-well card just after I got out of the hospital.
30:44You assume?
30:45Well, I threw it out once I saw who had signed it.
30:47I wasn't in the mood to hear from him, especially since I was wanting to hear from another DiMero.
30:53Well, I assume you mean your son, Johnny.
30:57Has he not forgiven you yet?
31:00Oh, I'll take that as a note.
31:03How sad for you.
31:05Well, good night, everyone.
31:07Johnny's ever.
31:12Ow.
31:14Well, Stefan was well rid of her, that's for sure.
31:18And I'm sure he's fine.
31:19I probably just didn't get back to honor myself because he was too busy.
31:23No reason to think that he's in any kind of trouble.
31:31Okay, we're waiting for you.
31:32We'll see you soon.
31:34Julie and Charlotte are on their way.
31:35Right.
31:36Can't leave now, Grandma.
31:38Charlotte will cry if she can't say goodbye to you.
31:40You know what?
31:40I will cry if I don't get a chance to say goodbye to Charlotte or Julie.
31:45You promise you'll be back?
31:47Hey, buddy.
31:48You're going to be back here before you know it.
31:54I miss you so much.
31:56Come on.
31:57Buddy, I'm going to miss you so much.
31:58Yeah, clear the top.
32:00JJ, get in.
32:01Come here.
32:02I'm going to miss you, buddy.
32:03I'm going to miss all of you.
32:04Gabby.
32:18Thanks.
32:19Hi, JJ.
32:20Look, I, uh, I just want to say that I'm sorry again.
32:29I was wrong to accuse you of shooting EJ.
32:32I know now that you had nothing to do with it.
32:35Would it have been nice if you knew that a few months ago?
32:42That's changed.
32:44The camera Rafe planted.
32:47I know your brother wouldn't have told Jada about the missing memory stick if there was a chance it would incriminate you.
32:52So new evidence.
32:57That's what's changed?
32:59Not weeks and weeks of me insisting that I was innocent?
33:03I know I messed things up.
33:05Yeah.
33:06You did.
33:07You should have had faith in me.
33:14Good luck, JJ.
33:16I hope you solve this case and soon.
33:26You'll be working with an interagency task force on this.
33:29I'll, um, I'll be off the clock starting tomorrow for my son's wedding.
33:34I'll make the introductions after that.
33:35And, uh, thank you again for your cooperation, Miss Green.
33:42Uh, it's like you said, I don't really have a choice.
33:49I wish you the very best.
33:57Here's to follow that.
33:59So we salute him.
34:00And while we're on the subject of Paterfamilia, I sincerely doubt that Stefano is thrilled that his Demera dynasty is now being controlled by the Kyriakos firm.
34:15Blame Kristen.
34:16She had me ousted from the company well before any of that went down.
34:19Well, that's what happens when the Demera's are each other's throats.
34:22I was just telling Chad the same thing the other day.
34:26Oh, good. Now we're on the same page.
34:29What we do next is we unite to win back the company, yes?
34:34I am afraid not.
34:39Wait, bud.
34:42Throughout my entire adulthood, Father has been grooming me to take over his empire.
34:48And frankly, it's just brought me nothing but misery.
34:51You don't mean that.
34:53I most assuredly do.
34:54And as you know, I've recently acquired University Hospital, and I believe the family's future lies there.
35:04My focus is on that now.
35:06And repairing my relationship with my son.
35:11Well, then that leaves the two of us.
35:16Don't look at me.
35:18No, I'm the happy runner, the spectator.
35:22I've long been out of the family business.
35:23Oh, come on. This is not the first time someone has suggested you to get yourself back in.
35:30Okay, listen.
35:32It was nice to catch up with you, Tony.
35:33I need to get home.
35:35Jack and Jennifer are leaving town tonight, and that's always hard for the kids.
35:40But this conversation is not over.
35:43I have no doubt.
35:46It's good to see you, Tony.
35:50Why don't we order some coffee and hash this out some more?
35:53I'm afraid I can't stay.
35:59Something important just came up.
36:01More important than reclaiming father's legacy?
36:05Without question.
36:06Hey, Kat.
36:17Hi, Chad.
36:19Hi.
36:19Hi.
36:21How was Aaron's graduation?
36:24It was great.
36:24We were actually just celebrating.
36:26Now he's off with his friends.
36:28Yeah.
36:28I'm going to tell him I said congratulations.
36:30I will.
36:30So, uh, are we still on for dinner?
36:35Absolutely, yes, we are.
36:37I'm looking forward to it.
36:39Me too.
36:39Hello, darling.
36:52Yes, I broached the subject.
36:54It seems that neither of them want to make a move.
36:57So, if the family business is to be saved,
37:05oh, it seems I have to be the one to do it.
37:08Yes, I do.
37:27I'm looking forward to it.
