03:05she's your girlfriend
03:09objection your honor
03:11my relationship with the opposing counsel has no bearing on the defendant's testimony
03:16no but it does have significant bearing on these proceedings your honor clearly miss
03:20black has a major conflict of interest and should not be allowed to prosecute this case
03:25which is why i move for an immediate mistrial your honor this is absurd
03:31this has absolutely no relevance to all cases
03:33order order
03:35uh god dad what did you do
03:51like sands through the hourglass
03:54so are the days of our lives
04:03i said order
04:09this court is now in recess please return to your holding room and await further instructions
04:18in the meantime remember your oath not to discuss this case with anyone affiliated or
04:25not with these proceedings
04:39i need counsel to approach the bench
04:41now
04:51so she woke up with a fever huh
04:53yeah 103 and then a sore throat but then when i saw the rash i was really worried
04:58i um oh dr kiriakis how's my sister
05:03well our patient has definitely felt better we're looking at strep throat
05:07okay and uh the rash
05:10yeah yeah that's probably from the fever it's a pretty textbook
05:13are you sure i mean i wasn't sure if it was like rheumatic fever felicity has congenital heart disease
05:19and yes yeah i am familiar with felicity's medical history and you did the right thing by bringing her in
05:26at this moment i don't have any reason to believe it's anything more serious
05:30but i want you to keep a very close eye on her and if any of her symptoms worsen you bring her back in
05:37okay okay thank you doctor yeah of course i'm gonna call her in the description
05:45oh thank god
05:49i'm glad she's gonna be okay
06:03i have a confession to make
06:05uh-oh should i brace myself no i don't think so
06:11i just wanted to say that well i'm impressed with what the wine
06:16was you and how you've been able to handle so much
06:23handle maybe but not all that gracefully
06:27who cares about grace when you get results
06:30i mean come on you managed to accomplish the one thing that your father never could
06:36you brought dimera enterprises to its knees
06:39i mean it was a perfect storm that gave me the opening i was lucky really
06:48luck means nothing if you don't have the skill or the experience
06:53you've managed to hold on to dimera despite being accused of attacking philip and
06:58whatever marital issues you have going on with sarah i won't guess as to what those are
07:07you've managed to keep your head afloat despite drowning in all of this baggage
07:11it's pretty remarkable
07:15did victor were alive he'd be so proud of you
07:23oh my god i'm sorry i was rambling did i embarrass you or worse myself
07:29i talk out it's not that it's just um
07:35in spite of having been told that at various times to boost my battered ego you know victor would be so
07:43proud for this or that i never believed it to be true because it isn't i know that
07:53despite everything that i've done for titan all i've accomplished in his name
08:00my dearly departed father would still consider me the scum dude
08:13hey there hey i thought the trial was still going on did something happen yeah my father happened
08:20he called for a mistrial and the judge kicked us all out what why because he forced me to admit
08:30under oath that he and our bill are in a relationship
08:38let me make sure i correctly understand your motion mr dimera you believe da black has a conflict of
08:44interest and is unable to prosecute this case that's correct because you
08:50and miss black are romantically involved which would make you conflicted as well
08:59well yes but so don't you think it's a little hypocritical of you to raise this objection now
09:05i mean we're well into the trial we've heard testimony from several witnesses yes it is the height of
09:10hypocrisy your honor so mr dimera
09:15am i to understand that you are throwing your relationship under the bus
09:21in the hopes that i might grant you a mistrial yes you are because that's exactly what he's
09:26doing and it is despicable
09:38okay so all i have to do now is pick up the prescription and just get felicity home oh no
09:43no no what's wrong the pharmacy is backed up it's gonna take half an hour to get the prescription
09:50ready um i'll tell you what uh i'm sure felicity's anxious to get home why don't uh why don't i grab
09:59the prescription and i can just drop it off at your house i cannot expect you to do that for me i'm not
10:06doing it for you i'm doing it for felicity charlotte's prone to straps so i i know what it can be like
10:14okay well since it's for felicity i will take you up on that thank you so much are you sure it's
10:20no trouble no trouble go find your sister get out of here okay and uh take the stairs this time
10:36xander why would you think that victor had such a low opinion of you i mean after all
10:43he did hand philip and you the keys to the kingdom and he was right to do so you've done amazing things
10:48that tightened to mirror you know gabby i i really do appreciate you being my cheerleader but i'm not
10:56talking about the company it's only about my personal life and in that regard victor always
11:05considered me to be a world-class screw-up you know he's always lambasting me about being untrustworthy
11:12having no self-control how else do you think i went from having a seat at the family table to being the
11:18gardener okay i'll admit that was extreme it was cruel but you know what it's what victor thought
11:28someone like me deserved and who knows maybe i did
11:38i didn't realize you and i had so much in common until just now oh yeah
11:42what did uh rafe put you to work too no
11:49but i know what it's like to let your family down
11:55when i was in prison uh all i had was time with myself left alone with my own thoughts idle hands you know
12:01and i i kept hearing my mother's voice in my head telling me how disappointed she was in me
12:12and my life choices that led me to where i was
12:14it was next to impossible to shake but you did
12:24took a while yeah i did
12:28and if i can so can you sander
12:40that voice of self-doubt in your head is not your father's
12:46it's yours
12:47it's a fair point yeah i've got to stop uh projecting all this onto a dead man
12:58at the end of the day
13:01i'm the one who's disappointed in myself my marriage went to hell because of my own actions
13:06care to share what those actions were why you and sarah are no longer together
13:22ah somebody's playing hooky for a basic black i could say the same thing about you ah nice try
13:30i'm just getting off an extremely long shift not that it's a contest
13:35no of course not no hey how's rachel doing oh she's she's good she's good she's brave kid
13:44yeah and tate how's he doing with the baby being adopted he's doing the best he can do
13:50we actually sent a gift to the adoptive parents and he included a letter hoping to convince them to
13:55let him visit the baby in chicago
13:59the adoptive parents were in chicago that's where the post office box was yeah
14:08right how are you how are you doing with everything i'm okay it's a little weird though
14:16sarah it's very weird i have a grandchild
14:19my first grandchild is out there and
14:26i don't even know if i'm gonna get to see or meet her
14:33sofia's baby was definitely not a girl
14:42i can't believe that ej would would expose his relationship with bell in in court not to
14:56mention near the end of a tumultuous trial i know and my dad does care about aunt bell i know that
15:03but he was willing to throw it all the way to get that mistrial
15:09how did the judge respond didn't look good
15:14and if it all goes south i just can't help but feel like it's my fault
15:22i'm not interested in how you characterize opposing counsel's tactics miss black
15:27what i do want to know is how long this relationship has been going on
15:32full transparency our relationship predated the trial
15:37which would have been helpful to know before now
15:40i understand but your honor our relationship is really the least of the conflicts in this trial
15:46the defendant's counsel is his own father and the victim in this case i should add
15:51and you're the defendant's aunt i was made aware of those conflicts before the trial started
15:59and from what i understood mr damara you waived your right to any objections
16:05that's true but then i suggest you stop the theatrics
16:09your motion for a mistrial is denied
16:26comparing medicine
16:27hi
16:28shh
16:30felicity's already asleep
16:32oh shoot i'm sorry i uh i didn't get here sooner
16:35oh no oh my god are you serious i'm grateful that you did this for me all right well for felicity
16:42well um well hopefully she she feels better soon yeah i hope so she's normally such a force of nature
16:49you know she never complains about anything even when she'd be perfectly justified in doing so
16:55so if she uh she says she's not feeling well she's absolutely miserable
16:59you feeling okay hey you're all right um yeah yeah no i just i barely drank any water today i should
17:08come here you're burning up
17:16sarah
17:18what's wrong
17:21uh sorry yeah um i was just thinking about this issue at work i have um
17:27i have a secret that i'm required to keep for a patient but i am finding it increasingly difficult
17:33to keep it
17:35oh
17:36sorry i i've kept you long enough no no hey i'm i'm i'm playing hooky remember so
17:43where were you going now that you're off the clock
17:45home um i i was trying to catch victoria before the nanny put her down for the night
17:50but i got held up at work so well that means you're free right i actually am in fact free
17:59hmm you never had that dinner that we talked about i know it was supposed to be with rachel
18:05but she's with her mom so we're just two people that need to kill some time so would you like to get
18:10a bite to eat with me i would love that with the bistro that sounds great
18:25sarah and i we uh well we hurt each other i did something that i deeply regret
18:34and she did something that i don't think i can ever forgive ever i really don't see her
18:48then what's the point of holding on if the end is just inevitable
18:53maybe it's time to turn the page and move on
18:55i think it can be easy easier than you might think provided you have the right distraction
19:25i don't think it's going to be easy to do
19:29johnny whatever happened in that courtroom just now it's not your fault yeah but i'm the one who
19:35told that whole courtroom about my dad and aunt bell oh you're under oath come on you're not gossiping
19:42and whatever happens however this plays out it's on your father not on you
19:50this this whole thing just got so messed up
19:53oh honey i'm so sorry i'm so terribly sorry
20:04your honor if you're not going to grant me in this trial at least appoint a new prosecutor
20:08i know what you're doing mr dimera i'm quite familiar with delay tactics oh for god's sake you're
20:13hoping that if a new prosecutor is appointed i'll grant you a continuance then you'll be able to kick the
20:19can down the road indefinitely well not in my court d.a black stays period
20:31and i would like to go on the record as stating that there will be no further conflicts of interest
20:36as our relationship is no longer of concern to the court because as of this moment we are no longer involved
20:42so how long have you been feeling woozy for i don't know maybe since this morning i took ibuprofen
21:03i'm starting to feel better yeah yeah or it uh or it or masked your um your symptoms you've been
21:11running around all day taking care of felicity have you taken your own temperature ah no but i
21:16cannot afford to be sick right now i'm not sure you get a say in the matter what you need is uh is some
21:22rest okay okay i'm going to take care of myself i promise i promise that you need to get out of here
21:27before you're liable to come down with something oh i think that ship is out i think i think i've
21:32already been exposed oh god i'm sorry that's okay you don't have to say sorry and uh and julie's with
21:41the kids and i'm not sure you're gonna be able to take care of felicity and yourself so i'm gonna stay
21:45maybe we should try someplace else sarah no it's okay this place is fine there's a million other
22:04places we could go yeah but we don't have to xander and i are separated and if this is how things are
22:10gonna be then i have to get used to it so you shouldn't have done that what kissed you i i'm
22:25sorry i got caught up in the moment sarah saw us but you're separated right yeah but we just literally
22:31signed the paperwork i don't want to rub being single in her face okay well then just tell her
22:35it's my fault i mean that's true that i kissed you i can only imagine what sarah's thinking that
22:40i mean isn't it obvious she's probably jealous she probably assumed that you would be at home
22:44or at the office pining after her and instead you're out with the beautiful and very available woman
22:51i mean this couldn't have worked out better for you except for the fact that the last thing i want
22:55to do is hurt sarah more than already have plus we have victoria's well-being to consider it hey
23:01i've been there co-parenting is never easy and it's really sweet to see that you have a big heart
23:10underneath all that bravado i mean but there's nothing wrong with spending time with me we've been
23:16having fun haven't we we have okay she obviously has no qualms about hitting the town with your nephew
23:26so what exactly is the issue here
23:36you're right yeah our marriage may be over my life isn't
23:43mr dimira and i are no longer together so there should be no further conflicts of interest in that
24:01regard duly noted though since the defendant is opposing counsel's son i will be keeping an eye
24:13open to ensure your objectivity of course well considering the late hour and the delay caused
24:22by mr dimira's sideshow i'll be releasing the jury for the day and if either of you ever pull anything
24:30like that again waste even so much as one minute of this court's time or one cent of the taxpayer's
24:37money i will not hesitate to hold you both in contempt have i made myself clear yes your honor crystal
24:58will oh honey no no please please not here okay it's one thing to be humiliated in public like
25:13that by someone that you thought loved you but it is i am not gonna let anyone else see me fall apart
25:28well no one can accuse you of doing anything half-ass it's 103 just like your sister oh well that's just
25:41fantastic yeah um when was the last time you took ibuprofen i don't know six seven hours ago definitely
25:49due for a new dose yeah i think you need something a little stronger than that do you have any cold
25:53medicine here um yeah and the um cabinet above the bathroom sink the nighttime kind the good stuff
26:01so you can get some sleep mm-hmm yeah yeah you are hovering yeah well i'm worried about you
26:08i know it means a lot hey i'll be right back
26:23oh
26:38look we haven't ordered yet we can always go to the pub i'm not gonna give xander the satisfaction of
27:07running away this is our new reality so if xander and i are going to co-parent we have to co-exist
27:15even if that means watching him stick his tongue down gabby demure's throat
27:20okay what are you in the mood for a giant bottle of wine how about a glass i can't help you with that
27:29i'm aware the bottle is for me
27:36sure you have some exciting stuff in the pipeline for next quarter
27:41never mind
27:43so do you have any plans for where you and philip fit in at titan to mirror moving forward
27:48oh i have big plans for my brother but unfortunately none of it's legal
27:55i see
27:56look sarah have a drink don't have a drink you know in my experience it's best to just talk about
28:09whatever's bothering me but i would literally rather talk about anything else like what
28:16us
28:22god knows we've been through so much together
28:31i have to admit i'm surprised i thought that you and philip were getting along that
28:36you repaired your relationship just like you did with brady a while back
28:45xander what are you doing don't worry this won't take long
28:51xander
28:52xander what's going on this is how you decide to spend your evening when you should be with victoria
29:04i want my daughter back now
29:11what the hell was that hey answer me why would you treat on bell like that i didn't have a choice
29:18of course you had a choice johnny never forget your aunt bell's one purpose in this trial is to turn
29:24that jury against you and trust me that's exactly what she was doing i will not apologize for trying
29:29to put a stop to that
29:36how much trouble did you get in with the judge
29:41let's just say i didn't achieve what i was hoping for
29:44the trial resumes tomorrow with your aunt remaining honest prosecutor
29:51i hate this
29:53dad i know how happy you've been with with our bell don't don't let this case don't
29:59don't let me ruin that
