00:00Here you go, baby.
00:12Baby, brought you a beer.
00:14Uh-huh.
00:18Look at you, showing me right up.
00:22Hard at work while I'm kicking back, sipping a cold one.
00:30Truth is, I was actually going to stay at the office a little bit later, but...
00:34Victoria was so damn loud.
00:37And don't get me wrong, I know Xander missed this kid and all, but...
00:40I'm hoping he calls on reinforcements soon.
00:43You need me to call someone?
00:47No, I was just...
00:49Never mind.
00:52I haven't seen you this focused on something in a long time.
00:54What's going on?
00:56I'm, uh, prepping for my meeting with EJ tomorrow.
01:00Mm.
01:01Doing PR for the hospital?
01:03Yeah.
01:04Double-checking everything.
01:05I don't want to give him any reason not to hire me.
01:08Baby, what are you worried about?
01:09I mean, I know you want to help your mom, but...
01:11Well, it's not just that.
01:15I've, um...
01:16I've lost some clients recently at SGPR so I could use the work.
01:20Mm.
01:20Or, as we discussed, you could just quit the PR biz altogether and write full-time.
01:30You did say it was tempting.
01:32I did.
01:33Mm-hmm.
01:34But, Alex, I don't know.
01:37I do.
01:41Because...
01:42Once this hits the shelves...
01:46You may not ever have to work for anybody else ever again.
01:51You may not ever have to work for anybody else ever again.
02:08That's right.
02:11I want every division's second quarter earnings on my desk in an hour.
02:15I don't care if the system is down.
02:17Mm.
02:18Mm.
02:19Never you mind about that noise.
02:21Just get me those numbers.
02:22Mm.
02:22Oh, I'm sorry, my wee bairn.
02:26Was your dad being too loud?
02:27I...
02:27I thought you were sound asleep.
02:30Hey, how about are we walking?
02:32Yes.
02:33I know what you're thinking.
02:35But, Dad, don't you have loads of calls to make to various multinational CEOs?
02:41And the answer is yes, my love.
02:44I do.
02:44But right now, the only CEO I have to answer to is you.
02:50My precious girl.
02:52My precious girl.
03:07Gary.
03:09Hey.
03:09I did not expect you home so soon.
03:11Oh, I have to prep for a meeting with my buyers, and I forgot the binder with all my notes from the Sprint Collection.
03:17Hmm.
03:18Where are you off to?
03:19All right, get out there.
03:22Let's see what kind of arm you got.
03:23It's my dad.
03:24You know?
03:26Thomas, hi.
03:27Kat.
03:28What are you doing here?
03:30Forgotten how well-appointed this house is.
03:48I almost couldn't decide on a room.
03:50Hmm.
03:51And yet, I'm sure you somehow managed.
03:54Well, I was always partial to the East Wing, but, um, Kristen said that she can make up a corner suite, so, um, I don't know, I suppose I'll just gather my belongings from the Sailor Moon and I'll move right in.
04:07No, no, you won't.
04:09No, you won't.
04:18Like sand through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.
04:23What do you mean, I won't?
04:36You're saying that I won't be moving into the corner suite?
04:39Not today, at least.
04:40Kristen obviously forgot the entire East Wing is scheduled to be painted this week, so I'm afraid you're going to have to wait a few days before you can set up camp.
04:52Hmm.
04:55Right, well then, I'll just wait until it's all finished, until I make my final selection.
04:59Of course, madam.
05:01We want you to be happy during your stay, Shadamira.
05:04Oh, yes, I do plan to make myself quite comfortable here.
05:08In a few days.
05:09I heard you, EJ.
05:10Well, at least I have the luxury of making my decision from my room at the Sailor Moon.
05:20It's a good thing that Dimitri's money makes those hardships bearable.
05:24Hmm, yes.
05:25A good thing indeed.
05:32Well, it's such a beautiful evening, I thought I'd take a stroll for sunset.
05:37Yeah, we wanted to take advantage of the weather too, didn't we?
05:40Yeah, and, um, you want to play catch?
05:44That's a nice idea, buddy.
05:45Um, she loves baseball, but, uh, but we only got two gloves.
05:49Oh.
05:50Another time, okay?
05:51I have a meeting.
06:05Yeah, and with who?
06:07Oh, I see, Mr. Secret Agent Man, huh?
06:14You could tell me, but then you'd have to kill me, right?
06:16Yeah, well, I wouldn't go that far.
06:18Well, now that you're back on the FBI, it'll be like it used to be.
06:22Lots of cloak and dagger, you sneaking around, all hush-hush-hush.
06:25Who's sneaking around?
06:26I just told you, I have a meeting.
06:28Uh-huh.
06:28All right, and it's with who it is?
06:30Oh, nice try.
06:32Oh, come on, Rave, who am I going to tell?
06:35Okay, fine.
06:38My meeting is with, um, my spring buyers.
06:44Jerk.
06:44Come on, you know the drill, Gabby.
06:46You know.
06:47Okay, you're right.
06:48You're right.
06:49I'm sorry to push.
06:52Look, I know you're my crime-fighting big brother, but please do me a favor and be careful.
06:57Always.
06:59By the way, uh, did Ori make it to the lake safely?
07:03I'm not sure.
07:05Wait, what?
07:06Hold on, stop the presses.
07:08You haven't heard from her and you're not freaking out?
07:12No.
07:13I'm not.
07:15I will be if I don't hear from her by tonight.
07:17Ori obviously got caught up in all the excitement and forgot to text me.
07:21Look, over the years, I've learned that the more fun that she's having, the less communication I get.
07:26So, I'm guessing that she's having the time of her life.
07:32Oh, my God, Alex, this is amazing.
07:35I know.
07:36The art department did a killer job.
07:38But it's just a mock-up, so if you want to make any changes...
07:41No, no, no, I love it.
07:43Good.
07:43And the name...
07:45Anastasia Sands.
07:47Mm.
07:48Better than broccoli esperanza, right?
07:51I remember the good call using Grandma Jo's old romance novels as a way to figure out a pseudonym.
07:58Mm-hmm.
07:59Mm.
08:00Anastasia was my favorite.
08:01Mm-hmm.
08:01And her one true love was Mr. Sands.
08:04Ah, Mr. Sands.
08:07And you know, since your grandmother was kind of, sort of, accidentally the one who introduced you to romance novels, it's a nice little tribute.
08:17Mm-hmm.
08:18It's perfect.
08:19Yeah.
08:19I can't believe my book that I wrote in my spare time for fun is going to be out in the world.
08:30Mm-hmm.
08:31And soon, Kate's coming back to work at Titan this week, and she already said she's making it her top priority to get this thing to press.
08:39Which means she believes as strongly as I do that one stormy night is going to put our book publishing division back on track.
08:49So buckle up.
08:51You are about to be a published author, Miss Anastasia.
08:56Ooh.
08:58You're not going to keep calling me that, are you?
09:01Ah.
09:02And it depends.
09:03You're going to try and stop, man.
09:06Mm-hmm.
09:09Mm-hmm.
09:09Mm-hmm.
09:30Hey, man.
09:31Yeah.
09:31Believe in me, they'll go away.
09:40Or not.
09:44Or maybe.
09:45Huh.
09:48Oh, God.
09:50Ah.
09:57Mom!
09:58Hi, sweetheart.
10:01Bad time?
10:13That is really suited you.
10:15Thank you, Thomas.
10:16But I...
10:16I can't play catch right now.
10:19It says you love baseball.
10:21That's true.
10:22I'm a huge Royals fan.
10:23No way.
10:26Cubbies rule.
10:28Oh.
10:30And if you use my glove, you could be Bobby Wood Jr.
10:34Oh.
10:35I really wish I could.
10:36I...
10:37I just...
10:37I have some place I gotta be.
10:40Oh my goodness, your bracelet.
10:41Hi.
10:42Hello.
10:42Come here.
10:43Come here.
10:43Come here.
10:43Come here, your wrist.
10:43Yeah.
10:45Oh.
10:45Okay.
10:46Sorry.
10:47And...
10:48I don't need big wrists.
10:49Okay.
10:50Yeah, there.
10:53And...
10:54Okay.
10:57That's okay.
10:57I think I fixed it.
10:58Got it.
10:59You're welcome.
10:59There we go.
11:01Well, um...
11:03I guess I'll be heading out.
11:05You guys have fun.
11:06We will.
11:07Yeah.
11:07Okay.
11:08She's nice.
11:14Yeah.
11:15Yeah, she is.
11:16So then why are you trying to get rid of her?
11:18What?
11:19I wasn't trying to get rid of her.
11:21Seriously?
11:22Yeah.
11:23Who do you think you're talking to?
11:26I just want a little, uh, father-son time.
11:28Is that cool with you?
11:31Sure.
11:32That's cool with me.
11:34Now, get out there.
11:35Let me see that arm cannon from center field.
11:38Well, clearly awoke wasn't the answer.
11:49Come on, darling.
11:50What is it that's bothering you?
11:51Give me a clue.
11:53Is it...
11:54Are you overtired?
11:55I mean, who wouldn't be after all this screaming you've been doing?
11:58Or maybe...
11:59Are you hungry?
12:00What have we got here?
12:01Oh, look.
12:02It's your favorite.
12:03Fruit snacks.
12:04Come on.
12:05Have it.
12:05Maybe make it one of these.
12:06Okay.
12:09I'm gonna fruit snacks for you.
12:11Um, please.
12:14What else can I possibly do for you, Victoria?
12:16Do you want me to sing?
12:18Dance?
12:19Break dance?
12:21Maybe I could try?
12:23Mr. Snub?
12:38Yes, Jones.
12:43You couldn't call me Kelly.
12:46So we better get used to these aliases, huh?
12:49Yes, especially since we will probably be texting each other frequently to meet up in places like this.
12:58I have you saved as James Smith, so no one will know who you are.
13:02Well, smart.
13:04Yeah.
13:05I'm clever like that.
13:06I see.
13:08So what do you got?
13:10Ah, information on E.J. DiMera's finances.
13:13Ooh.
13:15Excellent.
13:16All right, well, before we get started, I just want to make sure that we both got the same briefing, so can we go over?
13:24You all right with that?
13:25Ah, yeah, of course.
13:26Okay.
13:27So, the FBI and the ISA have set up this new interagency task force that we will be working with, and, um, the objective being to take down the Demers.
13:40Yes, Director Donovan said that the agency's been trying to do this for years with no success, but because of the recent Titan takeover, apparently the DiMera's are off their game.
13:52Yeah, it's a perfect time to strike.
13:54Right, and what's the best way to track illegal activity to create arrests?
14:00All of the money.
14:02All of the money.
14:03So, starting with E.J. DiMera's most recent purchase.
14:08University Hospital.
14:09Yeah, exactly, which I already told you he did not purchase out of the goodness of his heart.
14:14You think it was nefarious, but...
14:15Oh, I am sure of it, yeah.
14:17Yeah, but the question is, where did the guy get the money?
14:21I mean, he's rich, but he's not that rich.
14:23So who chipped in and why?
14:26A failing hospital is hardly a good investment.
14:29No, it's not.
14:30I mean, obviously he could make billions down the road with VersaVix, but it's going to be years until that drug comes to the market.
14:38So, what is E.J. planning in the short term?
14:42Nothing good, that's for sure.
14:45So, the sooner we nail that bastard, the better.
14:52This is personal for you, right?
14:54You said you and E.J. have history, right?
14:56I guess I'm just curious.
15:02As to what went down?
15:04I don't want to pry.
15:05No, no, no, no, it's okay.
15:07I don't mind talking about it.
15:10What exactly do you want to know?
15:11Well, anything.
15:12I mean, anything that will help me better understand how E.J. operates.
15:16The more insight I have into how he works, the faster I can work.
15:21Right.
15:21Well, you better get comfortable, Kelly.
15:26Because this could take a while.
15:29Okay.
15:30Speaking of your newfound wealth, that's a rather stunning necklace you're wearing.
15:39Why, thank you, E.J.
15:43Wait a minute, isn't that...
15:45The necklace that was stolen from Julie Williams and then sold to Melinda Trask?
15:50Yes.
15:51Yes, it is.
15:52And did you steal it as well?
15:54No, you silly Billy.
15:58I bought it from a broker with Demetrius' money.
16:02Although I wasn't really aware of its provenance.
16:05Hmm.
16:06And now that you are, I assume you're going to return it to its rightful owner.
16:10I am the rightful owner.
16:13But yes, I suppose I will return it to Julie when hell freezes over.
16:20Of course it's not a bad time.
16:25Come in.
16:26Hi, Alex.
16:27Hey, Dr. Johnson.
16:28Nice to see you.
16:29Oh, Mr. Button there.
16:31Um.
16:33Um.
16:33So, Mom, what brings you by?
16:36Well, you know, with all the hospital takeover business, I've done a little, uh, stress-breaking.
16:42Is that apple?
16:43It's actually blueberry.
16:45But to save your father and me from eating all six pies, I thought I would share the wealth.
16:49Oh, thank you.
16:50I can't wait to dig in.
16:52Well, maybe, you know, maybe after dinner.
16:54Oh, why not?
16:55Why not right now?
16:56We could each have a slice.
16:57That sounds great.
16:59Um, but I'm going to go back to my place real quick and shower.
17:02Um, I'll be right back.
17:07It was a bad time.
17:09Not at all.
17:10Listen, I'm actually really glad that you're here.
17:13Because there's something important I want to talk to you about.
17:19Yeah, thanks for the offer, Gabby.
17:28But I'm more than capable of soothing my own daughter, thank you.
17:31Yeah, clearly.
17:33Look, I'm not saying you can't calm her down, but there are times that you try everything and the kid's still inconsolable.
17:38So before you completely lose your mind, it's a good idea to let someone tag in.
17:43Tag in?
17:44Yeah, let someone else give it a shot.
17:46And since you're down a parent...
17:49You're on.
17:50So, when EJ reached out to me, I didn't say no immediately because things have been a little slow at SJPR lately, and this would be a big job.
18:09I see.
18:09And believe me, Mom, I know what a jerk EJ is.
18:14But I wouldn't be working for him.
18:16I'd be working for the hospital.
18:18And for you.
18:20And this meeting is tomorrow.
18:22Mm-hmm.
18:23And with everything EJ has going on, I don't think that he would bother to sit down with me unless he was prepared to make an offer.
18:29Your question is, should I accept it?
18:35Well, you know, I don't think I need to tell you that I think that you would be a tremendous asset to the hospital.
18:41I mean, look what you did to help our fundraiser.
18:44That was hardly just me.
18:46Don't sell yourself shorts.
18:48You are excellent at what you do, and I think the hospital would be lucky to have you.
18:53So you think I should take the job?
18:56Actually, no.
18:57I think that you should run the other way.
19:00And don't look back.
19:05So you still have issues with the Grand Dam of the Horton clan, do you?
19:11Well, yes.
19:13I hate the whole bloody lot of them.
19:15Why wouldn't I, after that hag Laura sent me and my mum packing before I was even born?
19:20Holding on to this grudge since the womb, then?
19:22It's not as if a single one of them was even the least bit contrite or empathetic towards me.
19:31And they treated me like rubbish when I first moved to Salem, so no.
19:34I don't exactly have a very high opinion of them.
19:41Is that it?
19:43That's all you have to say?
19:45Well, as a former newspaper woman, I'm sure you're familiar with there being two sides to every story.
19:51Yes, of course I am.
19:53And you should also know, after being relentlessly vilified by those wannabe saints, that you ought to be on my side.
20:03Gwen?
20:04Hello, Chad.
20:11This...
20:13EJ replaced you with a lookalike again.
20:17And then reinstated him as police commissioner.
20:21I don't understand how this man is not behind bars.
20:24No, I ask myself that question every day.
20:27And I also don't understand how he manages to do all these horrible things and still come off so normal.
20:32Well, he's a textbook sociopath.
20:36I mean, his charming demeanor hides the fact that he has no conscience.
20:40I mean, EJ only cares about one person.
20:42That is himself.
20:43And he will do anything, no matter how wrong it is, to get what he wants.
20:49And how he owns a hospital, which is scary.
20:52Terrifying.
20:54Which is why we need to stop him.
20:56Now.
20:56Yeah, you know, I had zero interest in returning to the ISA.
21:05Director Donovan told me how much was at stake and how well positioned I am, so I agreed, but...
21:12To be frank, it is also personal for me.
21:17The doctors at University Hospital saved my baby sister's life.
21:20Oh.
21:21So I have absolutely no interest in allowing someone to mess with that place.
21:25Yeah.
21:28Well, I'm glad you're on board.
21:30For this mission, at least.
21:33I told the director I'm one and done.
21:35I mean, I knew we were going to be investigating EJ DiMera, but I had no idea what a super villain he was.
21:41And he's also the brother of...
21:45Of?
21:47A friend of mine.
21:49Do you mean Chad?
21:59How lovely to see you, Chad.
22:02And you as well, Thomas.
22:04My, my.
22:05Look how very grown up you are.
22:07Wasn't expecting to see you here, Gwen.
22:09And I wasn't expecting to see you, brother.
22:11What brings you by?
22:12Well, Thomas forgot, uh, some of his action figures up in Rachel's room last time he was here to play, so...
22:17Oh, well, don't let us keep you.
22:19Um, can I ask Aunt Gwen a question?
22:23Yes, of course you can, my darling.
22:25Ask away.
22:27Why do you have Aunt Julie's necklace?
22:30And why won't you give it back?
22:32Well, I appreciate your concern for Chad, but he knows very well about his family's history.
22:48Well, he published an expose on the front page of The Spectator laying it all out.
22:53And I remember, he was beside himself, thinking that was the reason EJ got shot.
22:59He cares a great deal about his brother.
23:01He also cares about justice.
23:04He's the good DiMera.
23:09When the DiMera's aren't busy stabbing each other in the back,
23:12they are closing ranks to make their legal problems go away.
23:17But not Chad.
23:18In fact, if we find the goods on EJ, he won't stand in the way.
23:25And he won't hold it against you either.
23:29Well, it's actually not me I'm concerned about.
23:32I, um...
23:34I have two younger siblings, Aaron and Felicity,
23:38and they've been through a lot in the last few years.
23:42If anything happened to them because I got roped back into the ISA, I just...
23:46No, I get it. I get it.
23:47I'm the oldest in my family, too, and I am very protective of my siblings.
23:57I'm sure they're protective of you, too.
24:01I bet they don't love you doing this dangerous work.
24:04Yeah, probably not.
24:07But I think that they know I'm not an adrenaline junkie,
24:10and the reason I chose this career is to make the world a safer place.
24:14Seems like you enjoy the job.
24:20Yeah.
24:22I do.
24:22I mean, I don't even know if I would call it a job.
24:27It's, um...
24:28more of a calling.
24:31Something I feel compelled to do.
24:36Seems like you're the same way.
24:37There you go, gutting you.
24:45Sweet dreams.
24:49How did you do that?
24:51I...
24:52I didn't really do anything.
24:54She cried herself out, and she was ready to sleep.
24:57No, no, no, no, no.
24:57Before you showed up, I...
24:59I walked around town for over an hour,
25:00and she never even came close to drifting off, and...
25:03And then the moment you pick her up, she's out like a light?
25:07Don't overthink it.
25:08How can I not?
25:09My daughter's forgotten who I am.
25:11Not a chance, Xander.
25:14Remember, she's been gone from you for a month.
25:18For a toddler, that's a lifetime.
25:21You two just need to get reacquainted.
25:26I hope you're right, Gabby.
25:28I never thought it'd be this difficult for her.
25:31Or me.
25:32You don't think I should take a job at your hospital?
25:39It's not my hospital.
25:41It's EJ's.
25:42Mom, you're chief of staff.
25:44You have a huge say over everything that goes on around there.
25:47Listen, if his budget proposal is any indication,
25:50he wants to make some big changes.
25:54Do you think he's gonna try to get you fired like Seth Burns did,
25:57if that's the case?
25:58I am definitely taking the job to keep EJ in check.
26:01You know what?
26:01I appreciate your loyalty.
26:03But listen, I can handle EJ.
26:05If he gets out of line, I can push back.
26:07But a PR person for him, that would be really pretty tricky.
26:11What do you mean?
26:13Well, EJ is gonna want you to make him look good.
26:16He's gonna demand that you put the rosiest possible spin
26:20on anything he does with the hospital.
26:22Even if it's not remotely rosy at all.
26:25And God forbid he does anything illegal,
26:27he's gonna want you to turn away.
26:29And what about all the fires that you are gonna put out
26:34because he prizes profit over patient care?
26:38Listen, I just, I just hate to see you compromise
26:41your integrity and your morals for a paycheck.
26:45Mom, I would quit before it ever came to that.
26:49And I think you'd agree that the hospital
26:51is in desperate need of positive press,
26:54even long before EJ came along.
26:58Well, I will admit that there
26:59has been quite a shadow over everything
27:02since my national crisis started.
27:04Uh-huh.
27:05And while I would never mislead the public,
27:08I can put the focus back where it belongs.
27:11On the incredible work that the hospital does
27:13to make people's lives better.
27:15Who's ready, did they get us some pie?
27:21Yeah.
27:22Um, well, you know, I, I, I can, I'm gonna get going
27:24and let you two get back to whatever it is
27:26you were doing and, oh, oh, I'm, I'm sorry.
27:29Oh, uh, oh, what's this?
27:32You know what?
27:47That is an excellent question, Thomas.
27:50Why won't you give Julie's necklace back?
27:53And Gwen?
27:53Mm-hmm.
27:55Well, Thomas, I'm afraid that there has been
27:57a slight disagreement as to who the necklace
28:01actually belongs to.
28:02But I'm sure it'll be sorted very soon.
28:07It better be.
28:14I mean, oh, like I said, I, I do, you know,
28:19really care about the hospital.
28:21So maybe, yeah, I guess I did feel called
28:26to this particular mission.
28:30I just...
28:32I'm not sure I'm ready for this.
28:37What?
28:37The director said that you were one of the best
28:39analysts he had ever worked with.
28:42Yeah, no, I just...
28:43What we're doing may require us being out in the field
28:48from time to time, and I was not trained for that at all.
28:51Oh, right.
28:52Well, I'm sure you're more prepared than you think.
28:55And besides, don't worry.
28:57I've got your back.
28:58Um, thank you.
29:01Yeah, of course.
29:03Now, listen, if it would make you feel better,
29:06I could, uh, show you some basic self-defense moves,
29:10stuff that we learned at the academy.
29:11Yeah, yeah, yeah, that would be great.
29:13I mean, if it's not too much trouble.
29:15Well, no trouble at all.
29:17I'm getting reacquainted with my daughter, too.
29:25And trust me, compared to an 18-year-old, Victoria is a breeze.
29:30Well, and she's being quiet right now, so maybe we could do a little work.
29:33Great.
29:34Lex.
29:35Okay.
29:36So, I have the latest numbers for the Gabby Chic's brain collection.
29:40Should give us an idea of projected earnings.
29:43Well, it'd certainly be better if we had a completed marketing reel,
29:46but Johnny still hasn't gotten around to it.
29:48We have time.
29:49Well, he was also supposed to shoot the joint statement I'm doing with Philip today.
29:54I told him to come back after lunch, and he's nowhere to be found.
29:58In his defense, I heard he had some kind of personal emergency.
30:02Well, I wonder if that has anything to do with the fact that he's just been charged
30:05of trying to kill his own father.
30:07And while I am fully behind anyone who wants to take out EJ,
30:10I'm really starting to think that maybe he,
30:13Johnny, wasn't the best choice to handle rehabilitating the company's image, you know?
30:19But since you were also recently charged with attempted murder...
30:23Those charges were dropped.
30:25I'm just saying, since you know what Johnny's going through,
30:28maybe you could cut him some slack.
30:29Well, the shareholders won't cut me any slack if the stock price keeps dropping.
30:33We need to get that video out now.
30:34Zedra, relax.
30:37It's all going to get done.
30:40Why are you so calm?
30:43You're still unlike me, right?
30:45I don't know.
30:47Maybe it's because you're stressed out enough for the both of us.
30:50Oh, that's, um, just the cover of a book that he's publishing.
30:58Oh, wow.
31:00One Stormy Night.
31:01It's fabulous.
31:02You read it?
31:04Yeah, there was a manuscript going around the hospital.
31:06I think the entire staff read it.
31:08I think it should be really called One Steamy Night.
31:12So you liked it?
31:14Oh, yeah.
31:15I mean, I found it engaging and a real page-turner.
31:20Wow.
31:20I think that this, uh, I don't know where you found this, uh, Anastasia Sands,
31:25but I think she's about to make a mint, as is Titan.
31:29He was still open.
31:30Yeah.
31:31Have you read it?
31:33Not exactly.
31:35Well, you should make sure that Alex lets you have a sneak peek.
31:38Yeah.
31:38I, you know, and like I said, I think it's really going to be a bestseller.
31:42Me too.
31:43Anyway, good night, you two.
31:46Good night.
31:48Enjoy the pie.
31:49Thank you, you will.
32:04Hey, buddy, why don't you run upstairs and grab your action figures and then we'll take off, okay?
32:08All right.
32:08I had to be nice to you in front of my son, but the way you treated Julie last night made me sick.
32:19And now I have the displeasure of seeing you again.
32:23Rude.
32:24I want you gone.
32:26Whatever you're doing here in Salem, wrap it up, fast.
32:32Well, I'm afraid I can't do that.
32:34Because as I said, I do have a few loose ends to tie up, so...
32:38Okay, well, I don't know what that means and I don't care.
32:42I'm watching you.
32:43Stay away from my family.
32:46Your family.
32:47You know, as your son pointed out, I am his aunt, which means I am part of your family.
32:54On both sides, actually.
32:56Because I'm still Dimitri's wife.
32:59And you know what that makes me?
33:01A denaro.
33:03And I'll tell you what.
33:04I'm going to really embrace that.
33:08I mean, I want to soak it in and I want to soak it up.
33:12So...
33:13I'm moving into the family home.
33:23Well, I'm glad that my total frustration with both my personal and professional life
33:29is bringing out Bizan and you.
33:32No.
33:33Well, don't worry.
33:35I'm sure it won't be long till I'm flipping out over something.
33:39At least we know I won't be a crying baby.
33:42Thank you, Gabby.
33:43Do you help?
33:45Don't mention it.
33:47You have no idea how many people helped me out with Ariana over the years.
33:53Co-parenting is a challenge.
33:55And it's worth it.
33:59Is this what you're telling me to count my blessings?
34:03Like I said this morning, I remember when Ari was this age.
34:10Time just flew by.
34:13And whenever I got sad that my baby was growing up,
34:17I'd comfort myself by saying that I'd have another one
34:22and get to do it all over again.
34:24But I can't.
34:33So yes, Xander.
34:36Be grateful for what you have.
34:40I'm trying.
34:41How hard can it be?
34:45I mean, look around.
34:48You have everything you ever wanted.
34:51Yeah.
34:53Everything.
34:56Except Sarah.
34:57This info you got on EJ's financials definitely raises some flags.
35:05I mean, the ISA intel indicated that EJ didn't have the funds to purchase the hospital on his own.
35:12This deeper dive confirms it.
35:14Yeah, so there's only one way you could have purchased it.
35:17Yeah.
35:17With the help of a silent partner.
35:18So we need to find out who that silent partner is.
35:23Why they want to stay silent.
35:25Oh my God.
35:29My mother read this.
35:30My mother, she read page 89.
35:34And page 104.
35:37Why are you smiling?
35:39You're cute when you blush.
35:40I'm not cute, Alex.
35:42I'm mortified.
35:42I'm humiliated.
35:44I'm...
35:44Overreacting.
35:45How can you say that?
35:47Do you remember what's in these pages?
35:49No, I sure as hell do.
35:51Babe, hey, it doesn't matter what pages your mother read.
35:54She doesn't know that you wrote the book.
35:56But I know.
35:57Oh.
35:58Ugh.
35:59And there are two people in this world that I didn't want to read this book and she is one of them.
36:02Oh, yeah.
36:03Who's the other one?
36:05My dad.
36:06Duh.
36:07Oh.
36:07But since neither of them are here right now, why don't we pick up where we left off?
36:32Page 86.
36:33Mm-hmm.
36:35This is the air.
36:37The air.
36:40The air.
36:41Hmm-hmm.
36:44Nice.
36:45Yes.
36:47Yes.
