00:00Sidney, dear, it's your father.
00:02Just wanted to check in, make sure your recovery process was going smoothly after your fall.
00:07Call me back when you have a moment.
00:17You know, from what I hear, you might actually be able to speak to the chap in person
00:21as opposed to just staring at his portrait.
00:24Ah, I assume you've been speaking with my mother.
00:26Mm, yes, ran into her earlier.
00:28I didn't realise that communing with the dead was part of her skill set as a psychic.
00:33She's a medium in training, apparently.
00:36Although, you better hope she still has a lot to learn,
00:39because if my father really is alive,
00:43something tells me he wouldn't be too happy about you living here rent-free,
00:46courtesy of a sham wedding to a long-lost cousin.
00:50Hmm.
00:54Something tells me he'll be just fine.
00:58What is this place?
01:22What do you want?
01:38Hello. Welcome back.
01:54How was the movie?
01:56I loved it.
01:57Yeah, we actually both liked it.
01:59We laughed a lot.
02:00Yeah, we did.
02:01It was so funny.
02:02I wish you could have seen it, too, Grandma.
02:05Are you feeling better?
02:07I am.
02:08Now that you're home.
02:09Come on.
02:22Nothing's taking forever.
02:25Yeah.
02:26Yeah, it's been problematic all week.
02:28I'm not really sure what's going on with it.
02:31Well, at this point, it's probably faster to take the stairs.
02:33Because, uh, I can carry the stroller if you take Victoria.
02:40But I'll just, I'll wait for the elevator.
02:43Right.
02:46Okay, well, um, goodnight, my sweet girl.
02:50Just know that your daddy loves you very much.
02:53It's not just the alarm.
03:05It's, it's, it's none of it.
03:06None of it, none of it is working.
03:08Everything, the panel is, is just, is, is shorted.
03:11Yeah, there's no reception either.
03:12What about the emergency button?
03:14I just said nothing's working.
03:16Okay.
03:18Help!
03:20Help!
03:20Help!
03:22We're in here, help!
03:26Sorry, I, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't deal well in small spaces.
03:29I just need to get out of here.
03:31I'm, I'm sure you do too.
03:33Kinda, yeah.
03:35It's getting hot.
03:36It's fine.
03:36Everything is fine.
03:37We're just going to need to stay calm and we need to be patient.
03:41I'm, I'm sure that somebody's going to come and rescue us.
03:45I wouldn't count on it.
03:50Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.
04:04So were you able to get some rest while we were gone?
04:20Uh, yes.
04:21Yes.
04:22A little bit.
04:24You know, I was thinking,
04:26what about if Rachel and I have a,
04:29like a girl's night, just the two of us?
04:31What do you think?
04:34Sounds great.
04:38Uh, okay.
04:39I get it.
04:40Um, I'll make myself scarce and I will see you two in a little while.
04:45Thanks, honey.
04:45Why did you want to get rid of dad?
04:52Oh, was it that obvious?
04:55Very.
04:57Okay.
04:59Well, the truth is that I wanted to talk to you alone
05:03about something very important.
05:05Yes?
05:18EJ, it is Dr. Kiriakis at University Hospital.
05:22I'm, I'm sorry to disturb you so late,
05:24um, but we have an issue here that needs to be fixed immediately.
05:28What kind of issue?
05:29Uh, well, um, one of the elevators hasn't been working properly
05:34and it's been a few days now.
05:36And even though Dr. Johnson has called the elevator repair company multiple times,
05:41no one has come to fix it.
05:43And what do you expect me to do about it?
05:46Well, seeing as it's your hospital,
05:49it is your responsibility, is it not,
05:52to make sure that everything is operating in a safe manner?
05:54Fine. I'll have someone come and look at it tomorrow morning.
06:01And in the meantime?
06:03In the meantime, use a different elevator.
06:06Well, take the stairs.
06:07That's supposed to be better for your health, isn't it?
06:09A little bit of exercise?
06:12Oh, for God's sakes, there are people in wheelchairs here.
06:15They can't take the stairs.
06:17The elevator will be repaired first thing in the morning.
06:21You are unbelievable.
06:23You know that?
06:24You almost make me wish that...
06:27Never mind.
06:29Oh, I know what you were going to say.
06:31You almost wish your ne'er-do-well husband won the bid for the hospital.
06:36Well, that ship has sailed, Dr. Kiriakis.
06:39So I'm afraid you're stuck with me.
06:43What are you saying?
06:43Why do you say that?
06:45That nobody's gonna...
06:46That you don't think anybody's gonna come rescue us?
06:48No, I mean, we'll get out of here, uh, eventually.
06:51Um, it's just that...
06:53Visiting hours are over, we missed the shift change, so fewer people are on the floor, and
06:59also, this entire week, the elevator has been having problems, so I don't know if anyone
07:04really noticed that it's actually fully...
07:05What do you mean that?
07:06That entire week, there's been an issue with the elevator?
07:08There's been a problem with the elevator, and nobody at the hospital thinks that that
07:11should be the top priority?
07:12Um, not since the hospital landed in your brother's frugal hands, he's made some draconian.
07:18I'm gonna talk to him.
07:21Um, I would appreciate it if you actually do that.
07:23It just won't help this current situation.
07:26Okay.
07:27Actually.
07:28But people are gonna know that we're, that we're gone.
07:31People are gonna know that we're gone, right?
07:32Surely Felicity's gonna suspect that something's, something's not right when you don't show up
07:37to the apartment.
07:37She's at the movies with her boyfriend, so I won't be missed for hours.
07:47Yeah, well, I, uh...
07:50Okay.
07:52Um, so, I think we just, hey, you know, we just wait.
07:59We just wait.
07:59Now, if that is all, I'd appreciate any future complaints being made through my office.
08:08And as I said, I'll have the elevator fixed first thing in the morning.
08:12Good night, Dr. Kiriakis.
08:15I did warn you that nickel and diming the hospital was bound to cause a revolt.
08:20And if there is one thing I know about you, Rita, is that you live to say I told you so.
08:27But let me remind you that it was your idea to terminate the yoga and wellness program,
08:33about which I've heard endless complaints all day.
08:36Please, I mean, those hippie losers.
08:39I'd be happy to deal with them.
08:40But the elevator problem, that's totally on you for cancelling the maintenance contract
08:47in favour of a more economical alternative.
08:51Was there a reason you came to see me, Rita, other than to berate me?
08:55The latest budget reports.
08:57I took the liberty of highlighting some of the more important figures you might want to keep an eye on.
09:04Industrious as always.
09:05Is there anything else I can do for you this evening?
09:10Close down the intensive care unit at the hospital, perhaps?
09:15Actually, while I have you here, I do have a non-work-related question for you.
09:20It's about my father.
09:23Oh.
09:26Whom I do dream about often.
09:28And, oh, how I miss his quick wit and that charming devilish grin.
09:36You can picture it now.
09:39In fact, I feel his presence in this room so strongly.
09:43And could that be because...
09:47Because what?
09:49Because what?
09:50Rita, you believe that my father is really and truly gone, don't you?
10:01Okay.
10:01Okay.
10:12Okay.
10:17If I can just get up there and I can, uh, if I can get a hold of it, I can maybe climb up...
10:21Climb out of the latch.
10:22Just give me a boost.
10:24Okay.
10:25That's a...
10:26That's a brilliant idea in the movies.
10:28Huh?
10:28In the movies, in real life, it's actually very, very dangerous.
10:31You get up on top and then the elevator suddenly zooms up, you get crushed.
10:37Also, the hatch is normally not from the outside, so...
10:41You're not gonna want to do that.
10:47You know, judging, um...
10:49Judging by your, uh, apparent knowledge of how not to...
10:52Not to escape from an elevator in your unusually calm demeanor,
10:56I'm gonna assume that you've been in this type of situation before, stuck in one of these cages.
11:02It's not my first radio, cowboy.
11:05Oh, my.
11:06You know what?
11:06I'm not getting on an elevator with you anymore.
11:08Nothing.
11:09You're bad luck.
11:10You're...
11:10You're so dramatic.
11:12I'm gonna scale a one to a bad situation.
11:17This is like a one for both of us, and you know it.
11:21Okay.
11:22Then, you know what?
11:22I'm just gonna...
11:23Well, I'm just gonna...
11:26Just be calm and stay positive.
11:30That's right.
11:31Just stay calm.
11:33You know?
11:35Think happy thoughts.
11:36Mm-hmm.
11:38Happy thoughts.
11:39That's very good advice.
11:40Yeah.
11:43Yeah, and I mean, if we...
11:44If we do end up plummeting to our deaths,
11:47it's...
11:48It's kind of like skydiving.
11:50Minus the parachutes.
11:58Okay.
11:59Eating alone?
12:11Better than drinking alone.
12:14Well, actually, I think that doing anything alone
12:16isn't really all that exciting, is it?
12:18So, um...
12:20How about I join you?
12:21How about you don't?
12:37Hey.
12:39You okay?
12:40Yeah.
12:41I just, uh...
12:43I'm catching my breath.
12:46Had to carry Victoria down six flights of stairs.
12:48What?
12:51Why?
12:52Um...
12:52The elevator is broken.
12:55At the hospital.
12:56Uh-huh.
12:57Sarah, why don't you take another elevator?
12:59Or maybe ask for help.
13:00Yeah.
13:01There's an idea.
13:03Well, because I wanted to, uh...
13:05Prove a point.
13:06To myself.
13:07About what...
13:08What point would that be?
13:09Well, that I'm a very self-reliant and fully capable woman
13:15who can take care of Victoria all on her own.
13:20I also proved that I'm incredibly stupid
13:22and too stubborn for my own good, so there's that.
13:24That's quite the journey of self-discovery that you went on.
13:26It really was.
13:27I had a lot of time to contemplate all of my life choices
13:30as I went down six very long flights of stairs.
13:35Well, good for you.
13:35You know, a seat like that usually deserves some kind of a reward, so...
13:40Uh, have a drink.
13:44I'd like that.
13:45I'd like that.
13:53Did you want to talk about Johnny's trial?
13:57How did you know that?
14:00It's all anyone wants to talk about lately.
14:02Right.
14:07Look, I know that you're upset about having to testify in court.
14:12And I know that your mom and dad have told you that...
14:16you need to tell the truth.
14:19And I'm here to tell you also...
14:23it's very important...
14:25for you to tell the truth.
14:29Uncle E.J. wants me to lie.
14:32Oh...
14:34Oh...
14:35What did he say?
14:38He didn't really say anything,
14:41but he just kind of hinted at it.
14:45But I shouldn't listen to him, right?
14:47I mean, I do have to tell the truth.
14:51Don't I?
14:51Well, of course your father's dead.
15:02Why would you ask me that?
15:05Well, my mother claims that she can...
15:08sense his presence.
15:10And not just in the way you apparently do.
15:13She claims that he's...
15:15still alive.
15:16And since we never actually found the body, I...
15:20Rita, you're not saying anything.
15:24Well, that's because there's nothing much to say.
15:28I can only tell you what Dr. Rolfe told me,
15:31which is that...
15:32Stefano did survive Hope Brady shooting him,
15:36only to die many years later while in hiding.
15:39Well, Dr. Rolfe told me the same thing,
15:42but don't...
15:42don't you think it's strange that he...
15:45never said goodbye,
15:46never...
15:47never came home?
15:49Mr. DeMira,
15:51don't tell me you really believe this is true.
15:56No.
15:58No.
15:58Of course not.
15:59I'm sure my mother just got her...
16:02wires crossed.
16:06Nothing more to it.
16:07Well,
16:22it's gotten you in such a foul mood.
16:25You?
16:26Showing up here and
16:27interrupting my perfectly lovely solitary meal?
16:33Well,
16:34I assume you're having lots of solitary meals lately.
16:36so you can look at this as a chance to sort of
16:40shake things up a bit.
16:42No need.
16:43I'll have you know that I've spent the last several nights
16:44in the company of an angel,
16:46and I have enjoyed every moment I've spent
16:48with my darling daughter.
16:51As opposed to every moment that you're currently spending with me.
16:55I assume that's a...
16:58rhetorical question.
17:00It is, actually.
17:01I...
17:01don't answer.
17:12You know,
17:13you didn't have to order a mocktail in my account.
17:15I know you had a long day.
17:18Well,
17:18I am on mom duty.
17:20And really,
17:21I just wanted something fruity
17:22with a little umbrella in it
17:23to make up for the fact that I couldn't go to Bermuda
17:25because Xander was being a complete...
17:30Good.
17:31She's asleep.
17:32Good.
17:33You were saying?
17:34No.
17:34Forget it.
17:35I just...
17:36I don't want to bore you
17:37with the details of my failing marriage.
17:39All right.
17:40You can never bore me.
17:41And if you need to vent,
17:43I'm your guy.
17:44Remember,
17:45I'm the one that's not going to cast any judgment.
17:49Honestly,
17:49I shouldn't be complaining at all.
17:52Xander did something very nice for me today.
17:54He brought Victoria back to me a day early
17:58because she was asking for me.
18:01That's surprisingly shocking of you.
18:05Yes,
18:05it was.
18:06It was,
18:07uh,
18:08yeah.
18:11But,
18:11um,
18:12I don't know,
18:12co-parenting with someone
18:13that you're fighting with all the time,
18:16it just...
18:18sucks.
18:21Yeah.
18:23Exactly.
18:24Yeah.
18:26Rachel,
18:27it's very important
18:30for you to tell the truth
18:32about what you saw
18:34the night that
18:35your uncle EJ was shot.
18:38That's what my dad said, too.
18:41But I love Johnny,
18:42and I don't want him to go to prison.
18:45Nobody does.
18:46And the best thing you can do to help
18:50is tell the truth.
18:54Tell what you know happened,
18:55and then
18:55the grown-ups will handle it after that.
19:00Grown-ups like Uncle EJ?
19:02He won't let Johnny go to prison,
19:04will he?
19:05No, he won't.
19:07I won't either.
19:10Nobody
19:10will let that happen.
19:12Now,
19:13don't get me wrong.
19:15I understand why
19:16you like to believe
19:17that your father is alive.
19:19I mean,
19:20you two certainly
19:21had your differences,
19:22but
19:23it didn't take a
19:24master's degree
19:26in family psychology
19:27to see how much
19:28you two cared for each other.
19:29We never got the chance
19:32to say goodbye.
19:35By the time I returned
19:36to the land of the living,
19:37he was already gone.
19:39Of course,
19:40later we learned
19:40the father was still out there
19:41while I was recovering,
19:42but
19:42now
19:43it's...
19:44Now,
19:46you would almost be
19:47a centenarian.
19:49And
19:49although
19:50Dr. Rolfe
19:51was a miracle worker,
19:54I hate to admit it,
19:56but
19:56everyone has to die.
19:58Even the great
19:59Stefano DiMera.
20:03I still miss him
20:04every day.
20:06As do I.
20:08As I told you,
20:10he could be a real
20:13SOB to the rest
20:14of the world,
20:14but
20:15he always minded
20:16his P's and Q's
20:17with me.
20:19That's because
20:20you were his
20:21right-hand woman,
20:22so you knew
20:22where the bodies
20:23were buried.
20:25All but his.
20:29You know,
20:31I wasn't sure
20:32if I should
20:32bring this up earlier,
20:34but
20:34since we have
20:35all the time
20:35in the world...
20:36Don't say that.
20:38Um,
20:39since
20:40we have a
20:41little time
20:42right now...
20:43Better.
20:45How did
20:46your testimony
20:46go today?
20:47Yeah.
20:51Oh,
20:51I was okay,
20:52you know.
20:55My, uh,
20:56my brother
20:56actually thanked
20:57me for what
20:58I said on the
20:58stand.
21:00Oh.
21:00What'd you say?
21:03Just that I
21:03loved him,
21:04and I would
21:05have been
21:05devastated if
21:06he died.
21:07Yeah,
21:08I can attest
21:08to that.
21:09I remember
21:09how such a
21:10brother and I
21:10got shot.
21:11Yeah.
21:12What are you
21:17thinking?
21:19Just that
21:19after the
21:20trial,
21:21um,
21:22you know,
21:22my brother
21:23called me
21:23over to
21:24the mayor
21:24house so
21:25he could
21:25thank me,
21:25and
21:25he would
21:28not believe
21:28the scene
21:29that I
21:29walked in
21:29on.
21:31What was
21:31happening?
21:33EJ's
21:33mom,
21:34Susan Banks,
21:35uh,
21:35believes that
21:36she's,
21:37um,
21:38that she's a
21:39psychic,
21:39that she has
21:39psychic abilities,
21:40and she's
21:41training to
21:41become a
21:41medium.
21:43Oh.
21:44Yeah,
21:45she's walking
21:46around the
21:46house,
21:46she's touching
21:46on everything,
21:47and she was
21:48getting her
21:49vibes,
21:50uh,
21:51and she
21:53was,
21:53uh,
21:53sensing my
21:55father's
21:56presence.
21:58Your father,
21:59Stefan O'Damira?
22:00Yeah.
22:01She thinks
22:01that he's
22:01still alive.
22:05Do you
22:05think that
22:06could be
22:06true?
22:10Right.
22:21Since I
22:21assume your
22:22non-answer
22:23means that
22:23you're not
22:24enjoying your
22:25time with
22:26me,
22:26I have to
22:27say,
22:28Xander,
22:28I'm a bit
22:28surprised.
22:30I mean,
22:31I thought
22:31that you
22:31and I
22:32were on
22:32good terms,
22:34cordial,
22:35at least.
22:36I mean,
22:37we were
22:37definitely
22:38more than
22:38cordial the
22:39other night,
22:40weren't we?
22:42That is
22:42until you
22:43ditched me.
22:45Surely
22:46you weren't
22:46surprised by
22:46that one?
22:47No,
22:48not at all.
22:50I'm
22:50thick-skinned,
22:52you know
22:52that.
22:54I should
22:55tell you
22:55though,
22:56Matt,
22:56you did
22:56see us
22:57going into
22:57the
22:57Sailor
22:58Inn
22:58together,
22:59arm in
22:59arm.
23:00Well,
23:00I hope
23:00you told
23:01him nothing
23:01happened.
23:02I didn't
23:02say a
23:03word to
23:03him,
23:03it's
23:03none
23:03of his
23:03bloody
23:04business.
23:04Sarah
23:09gives
23:09much
23:09to
23:09damn
23:09what
23:10I
23:10do
23:10these
23:10days.
23:11Since I
23:12will be
23:12legally
23:13separated
23:13from her
23:14tomorrow,
23:15once the
23:16papers are
23:16followed.
23:19Sorry to
23:20hear that.
23:22Are you?
23:27I'm not
23:28completely
23:28heartless,
23:29you know.
23:30God,
23:31I need a
23:31drink.
23:31Wait a minute.
23:32You know
23:32what I
23:32think
23:33your
23:33problem
23:33with
23:34Sarah
23:34is,
23:34Xander?
23:35I
23:35think
23:35that
23:36you're
23:38always
23:38trying
23:38to
23:38change
23:39yourself
23:39for her
23:40when you
23:40know
23:40in your
23:41heart of
23:41hearts
23:41you're
23:42never
23:42going
23:42to be
23:43good
23:43enough
23:43for her.
23:44And besides
23:44that,
23:45I think
23:45this whole
23:45good boy
23:46act is
23:46just,
23:47it's
23:48not
23:48you.
23:49It's
23:49not
23:49you,
23:50my
23:50friend.
23:52And
23:52honestly,
23:54I
23:55much
23:55prefer
23:56the
23:56Lord
23:56Vizander.
23:58He's
23:59so much
23:59more
23:59fun.
24:02Oh,
24:07believe me,
24:07I understand
24:08the struggles
24:08of shared
24:09custody
24:09all too
24:10well.
24:11I know
24:12you do.
24:14And I
24:15just,
24:15you know,
24:15I keep
24:16thinking about
24:16what you
24:17said a few
24:17weeks ago
24:18about how
24:19you regretted
24:20the war
24:20that you
24:21and Kristen
24:21waged
24:21over Rachel
24:22and,
24:23yeah,
24:23I don't
24:24want to
24:24make the
24:24same
24:25mistake
24:25with
24:25Victoria.
24:26Good.
24:28I'm really
24:28glad to hear
24:29you say
24:29that because
24:29honestly,
24:30the fallout
24:32from my
24:32war with
24:33Kristen,
24:33I think
24:34affects
24:34Rachel
24:35every day.
24:37You know,
24:37she's tough
24:37on the
24:37outside,
24:38but inside
24:38she's
24:39fragile.
24:43She's also
24:44bright
24:45and so
24:47funny
24:47and precocious
24:49that's
24:49because of
24:50you.
24:50I don't
24:53think I
24:53can take
24:53all the
24:53credit,
24:54not even
24:55most of
24:55it,
24:55from her.
24:58Well,
24:58sure as hell
24:58I'm not
24:59going to
24:59give any
24:59credit to
24:59Kristen
25:00DeMuro.
25:00Well,
25:01Kristen's not
25:02the only
25:02influence in
25:03her life.
25:04I mean,
25:04look,
25:04she's got
25:04Marlena,
25:05she has
25:06Belle,
25:06pretty much
25:07everybody in
25:07her family.
25:09And she's
25:10got you.
25:12Me?
25:14Yeah,
25:14you raised
25:15her for
25:16her first
25:16year of
25:17her life.
25:19You gave
25:19her love,
25:19you gave
25:20her security,
25:21all the
25:22good stuff.
25:25You know,
25:25it saddens me
25:26to even say
25:26this,
25:27but I bet
25:28that was
25:28probably the
25:29most stable
25:29year of
25:32her life.
25:36Thank you
25:37for saying
25:37that.
25:40But,
25:40Brady,
25:42things are
25:43getting better
25:44for her,
25:44right?
25:47Kristen and I
25:48are on the
25:48same page
25:49right now.
25:51Her appointments
25:51with Dr. Fuller
25:52have been helpful,
25:53and her time
25:55with Marlena
25:56has been
25:56terrific as
25:57well.
25:58As a matter
25:58of fact,
25:59I was kicked
25:59out of the
26:00house tonight
26:00because they
26:02wanted to
26:03have girl
26:03time.
26:05Daddy and
26:06Uncle EJ
26:06say Johnny's
26:07innocent.
26:08I know,
26:08I believe that
26:09as well.
26:10But I saw
26:11him with a
26:12gun.
26:14I know you
26:14did,
26:15but you
26:15didn't see
26:16him shoot
26:16EJ,
26:17right?
26:18No.
26:19But if
26:20Johnny didn't
26:21do it,
26:21then who
26:23did?
26:25We don't
26:26know that
26:26yet.
26:28Which is
26:29why I
26:29wanted to
26:30ask you
26:30something.
26:34Do you
26:35remember
26:35anything else
26:36from that
26:37night?
26:38Something you
26:38haven't told
26:39anybody yet?
26:41Like what?
26:44Well,
26:45like,
26:46did anybody
26:48else come
26:49in the
26:49house that
26:49night?
26:54It's
26:54okay.
26:56Take your
26:57time.
26:58And really
26:59think about
27:00it,
27:00okay?
27:05I'm
27:05sorry.
27:08I don't
27:09remember
27:09anything else.
27:11I swear.
27:13It's
27:13okay.
27:14It's
27:14okay.
27:16I believe
27:16you.
27:19I'm
27:19just so
27:20sorry
27:21you have
27:23to go
27:23through this
27:24ordeal.
27:26But you
27:26know what?
27:27It's all
27:27going to
27:29turn out
27:29okay.
27:32Oh,
27:32darling
27:33girl.
27:35I love
27:36you so
27:36much.
27:37I love
27:37you so
27:37much.
27:39yeah,
27:43yeah,
27:43you know,
27:43my father
27:44was
27:44his nickname
27:45was
27:46the
27:46phoenix
27:47because he
27:48had a
27:48habit of
27:48rising from
27:49the ashes
27:49whenever anybody
27:50thought that
27:51he was
27:51gone.
27:52But I
27:53mean,
27:54this time
27:54there's just
27:54no way
27:56that he's
27:56alive.
27:56how can
27:59you be
28:00sure?
28:02Because my
28:02father had
28:05his issues,
28:06but one of
28:06his biggest
28:07redeeming
28:07qualities was
28:08how much
28:09he loved
28:10his family.
28:11And,
28:12you know,
28:13if he was
28:14with us,
28:14there's just
28:15absolutely no
28:15way he
28:16wouldn't reach
28:16out to
28:16us.
28:19Where'd the
28:19two of
28:20you close?
28:23Yeah,
28:23I mean,
28:24we had,
28:24um,
28:25we had our
28:26moments.
28:27You know,
28:27I didn't,
28:27you know,
28:28I didn't know
28:28he was my
28:28father until
28:29I was a
28:30teenager.
28:31Um,
28:32and then,
28:33you know,
28:34we didn't
28:36have nearly
28:36enough time
28:37together before
28:38he died,
28:39unlike EJ,
28:40who,
28:41he,
28:41uh,
28:42he actually
28:43took EJ
28:43from his
28:44mom when
28:44he was just
28:45a little
28:45kid,
28:45so he
28:46raised EJ
28:46as his
28:47own,
28:47which is
28:48probably why
28:49EJ is
28:49so much
28:52like him.
28:55Oh,
28:55based on
28:56everything
28:58I've read
28:58of the
29:00great
29:00Stefano
29:00Demira.
29:02Seems he
29:02was,
29:03uh,
29:04quite the
29:04mastermind,
29:05criminally
29:05speaking.
29:07Did he
29:07and EJ
29:09share that
29:09too?
29:10Hmm.
29:12I don't
29:13know.
29:14I don't
29:14know about
29:15that.
29:16I just
29:16remember you
29:17mentioned
29:17that EJ
29:18was shot
29:19by Clyde
29:20Weston
29:20when he
29:21was running
29:21drugs for
29:21him or
29:22something.
29:22Yeah.
29:23Yeah,
29:23sure,
29:23but,
29:25you know,
29:26I'd like
29:26to think
29:26that EJ
29:27learned his
29:27lesson.
29:29At least
29:29I hope
29:30so.
29:33Well,
29:33thank you
29:34for that
29:34much-needed
29:34reality check,
29:35Rita,
29:36and for the
29:36budget report.
29:37Oh,
29:38one more
29:39quick word
29:39on that.
29:40Yes?
29:41Well,
29:41you know
29:42I am
29:42no fan
29:43of excess
29:44waste,
29:45I do
29:46think you
29:47are pinching
29:48more pennies
29:49than you
29:49need to
29:50on this
29:50one.
29:51Profits are
29:52up,
29:52so,
29:53for heaven's
29:53sake,
29:54why not
29:55loosen the
29:55purse strings
29:56a bit?
29:56Ah,
29:57but,
29:57Rita,
29:58those extra
29:58pennies are
29:59going to
30:00come in
30:00handy soon.
30:01I have
30:02grand plans.
30:03Ooh,
30:04do tell,
30:05want to share?
30:06And anyway,
30:22I, um,
30:23I hope
30:24things will
30:25be a little
30:25less
30:26fraught
30:26for
30:27Xander
30:29and me
30:29now that
30:30we've, uh,
30:31signed
30:32the separation
30:33papers.
30:35He brought
30:35me a copy
30:36tonight.
30:39What?
30:40It seems
30:42that the
30:43two of you
30:44are being
30:44awfully
30:44sensible
30:47about this
30:48whole thing.
30:49Is there
30:50something wrong
30:50with being
30:51sensible?
30:51No,
30:52not at all,
30:52but you,
30:53you did admit
30:55to me that
30:55you're still
30:55in love with
30:56him,
30:57which makes
30:58me wonder
30:59if there's
30:59something behind
31:01this whole
31:02stiff upper lip
31:03fits for the
31:04best
31:04facade.
31:11I mean,
31:12yeah,
31:13you're not
31:15wrong.
31:19I'm like,
31:19when I, um,
31:22when I think
31:23about next week,
31:24which would be
31:24our one-year
31:25wedding anniversary,
31:28you know,
31:29and I think
31:29back to that
31:31day,
31:32and we were
31:34so happy,
31:35you know,
31:35compared to
31:36where we are
31:36now.
31:41Brady,
31:42we were,
31:43we were talking
31:45about having
31:45a second child
31:46a few months
31:47ago,
31:48which is all
31:50I've ever
31:50wanted,
31:51a house full
31:52of kids.
31:55I guess it
31:56wasn't meant
31:56to be.
31:57Yeah?
32:04Come on,
32:05Sandra.
32:06You have
32:07to admit,
32:08you and I
32:09had a whole
32:10lot of fun
32:11being back
32:11together.
32:14Ah.
32:15Looks like the
32:16waiter's lost
32:16interest in me.
32:18Look,
32:18all I'm saying
32:19is maybe
32:20you and Sarah
32:22weren't ever
32:23really meant
32:23to be together,
32:24and it's,
32:24it's a real shame,
32:26honestly,
32:27seeing you be
32:27this sad sack
32:28all the time,
32:29it's just,
32:30it's not the
32:30Xander that I
32:31know.
32:32Well,
32:34lucky for you,
32:35this sad sack
32:36has lost
32:36his appetite,
32:38so I'll spare
32:39us both
32:39any more
32:40torture
32:40and be on
32:40my way.
32:41What?
32:43No,
32:43come on,
32:44Xander,
32:45I...
32:48Ah.
32:51I can't even
32:51play games
32:52or watch videos
32:53or anything
32:53on here.
32:54Well,
32:57what if we
32:58played a real
32:58game?
33:00One that
33:00doesn't require
33:01phones.
33:03Okay,
33:03what do you
33:04have in mind?
33:05Okay.
33:07How about,
33:08um,
33:10Never Have I Ever?
33:11That's a good
33:12one.
33:13I remember
33:14that game.
33:15Yeah,
33:15it's never
33:15boring.
33:16Come up with
33:16the most shocking
33:17things that people
33:18don't know about
33:19you or you
33:19about them.
33:21Ah,
33:22true.
33:22never boring.
33:24Although,
33:25I don't know
33:25if there's
33:25anything that I
33:26could come up
33:26with that
33:27would shock
33:27you.
33:27Oh,
33:28I'm sure
33:28you could.
33:30Go ahead.
33:31You go first.
33:31No,
33:32you.
33:32No,
33:32I came up
33:33with the game.
33:33I get to
33:34decide the rules.
33:34You get to
33:35go first.
33:36Okay.
33:38Ah.
33:42Well?
33:43Hmm.
33:44Let me see.
33:45Oh,
33:45I know.
33:45I was once
33:46pushing my
33:47brother Mark
33:48on swing
33:48and he fell
33:49off in the
