00:00hey mom hey stephanie thank you for getting here so quickly i uh i have a feeling i know
00:11why you wanted to see me did you get that email from operations that it turns out the blackout
00:16started in the new wing yeah yeah so how do we proceed i mean the hospital is responsible for
00:23the blackout i mean this could not only delay the opening of the free clinic but it could just do
00:29so many things you could also be held legally liable for any damage incurred last night which
00:33would be the definition of a pr nightmare hey so what are we saying nothing yet but the longer we
00:40wait the worse it looks press is already hounding me but my hands are tied until i can put out an
00:47official response and you need that signed off by ej oh did i just hear my name oh perfect timing
00:56uh how much longer till the social worker gets here uh i think we have just about an hour god i
01:11thought we'd have more time to get this place together last night yeah well that was before
01:15the blackout hits oh she's not early you know the only thing worse than carrying that crib uh across
01:21the town square in the dark was putting the new one together by candlelight well you did a great
01:27job putting it together and i think it looks perfect in the nursery well now we just need to work on
01:34getting this living room looking perfect and then get ourselves spiffed up too oh yeah i just i had no
01:43idea this whole process would be so crazy no me neither but it will all be worth it when we have
01:51baby tea in our arms yes it will
01:54hey thanks again for uh letting me sleep on the floor last night
02:08yeah well you know i wasn't gonna let you find your way home a blackout so that's the least i could
02:13do and um i'm speaking of blackouts i wonder if holly will even remember what went down before she went
02:22into blackout mode herself yeah not if she's lucky yeah right i mean for her to get that trashed
02:32she would have to like be so freaked out about what happened with tate that she just needed to
02:39come out you know
02:41right
02:43so
02:52so
02:54Dad, whoa, what are you doing?
03:15I've been calling and calling and calling you.
03:18Why?
03:20What?
03:20Tate, there's a citywide blackout, okay?
03:22I needed to know if you were okay.
03:23Okay, Tate.
03:24Can you just, can you chill and just not talk so loud?
03:27I'm fine.
03:28Why wouldn't I be?
03:41Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.
03:46Wait!
03:58What?
03:59What?
03:59We, we finished filling out the adoption forms, right?
04:03Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, we did.
04:05Remember how, uh, remember how happy I was to be able to answer no to have you ever been
04:10convicted of a felony?
04:12Oh, yeah.
04:12Although there was so much publicity around the case, I'm sure the social worker knows
04:17just how close I was to being sent to prison.
04:20Johnny, you were innocent, and everyone knows that now, and that is all that matters, okay?
04:26And, plus, Mama put in a good word for us, so don't worry.
04:30All right, we got this.
04:31Okay, and now I am going to go change into something a little bit more respectable and
04:40following.
04:41Okay, yeah, me too.
04:42Well, dad-like for me.
04:44Um, how much time now?
04:47Uh, 45 minutes.
04:49Okay.
04:51Oh, no, you don't think?
04:53No.
04:54No, no, no, the social worker wouldn't get here that early.
04:57I'm sure it's just a delivery or something.
05:01Oh, Mr. DiMera, I assume?
05:05Uh, yes, yeah, that's me.
05:07Oh, and that must be Mrs. DiMera.
05:10Yep.
05:10Uh, it is.
05:11I'm Gillian Morgan.
05:14I'm the social worker assigned to your case.
05:16I'm a bit early.
05:18I hope that's okay.
05:19Oh, yeah, yeah, for sure.
05:21That's...
05:22Yeah.
05:26And why is my timing perfect?
05:29Because Stephanie and I were just talking about what the response should be from the hospital.
05:34Since we now know that the construction on the new clinic was responsible for the citywide blackout.
05:39Ah, an unfortunate incident to be sure.
05:42Which we need to get on top of.
05:44The wheels are already in motion.
05:46I was just speaking with the power company, making sure we had all our ducks in a row.
05:49And before you ask, I've added a few pertinent details to the statement you sent me, which I've just sent back to you.
05:54Great.
05:55May I release it to the press?
05:57I also sent along my approval to do just that.
06:00Well, that is a start.
06:02I will give it a once-over and I will send it out.
06:05Please do correct any and all typos.
06:08Will do.
06:09Since we know that the blackout was caused by our...
06:20Dr. Johnson, let's table the post-mortem on the blackout for now, shall we?
06:25Since God only knows what caused it, and since I'm having to put out multiple fires at once, including the daily report for the hospital's IP traffic.
06:37IP traffic?
06:38Hmm.
06:39What about it?
06:40Apparently some unusual usage was flagged, identified as yours.
06:46What?
06:47Now, while I was trapped in one of our elevators, I naively assumed that my chief of staff would be busy running the hospital.
06:57Imagine my surprise and disappointment to learn that, in the middle of a blackout, no less, said chief of staff was holed up in her office conducting an online Q&A hosted by the virtuoso of erotic fiction, Anastasia Sands.
07:17That's the fire alarm, isn't it?
07:20Yeah, it's fine, Dad. People pull the thing all the time.
07:23No, no, no, no, no.
07:25I smell smoke.
07:27Smell it?
07:29Oh my God, me too.
07:30We need to get everybody the hell out of here.
07:32Come on, come on, come on.
07:33Come on.
07:33Whoever keeps pulling the fire alarm, it's not funny, you idiot. Knock it on.
07:56Ari, Ari, it's not a joke. There's smoke. We have to go.
07:59What?
08:00We have to leave. Go, come on.
08:01Wait, wait, wait. Where's Holly?
08:02So, tell me, Anastasia, where did you get the inspiration for one stormy night?
08:21Those fiery, sensuous encounters, some slow building, others fast and hard.
08:27I have no idea what you're talking about.
08:30Well, I'm just trying to imagine what you might have been queried about during that online Q&A.
08:35Oh my God. You think that I'm Anastasia Sands?
08:39Your cover's been blown, Dr. Johnson.
08:41This is just ridiculous.
08:43Although it does beg the question, why the hell are you monitoring my computer usage?
08:48I do everyone's.
08:49Well, that's horrible.
08:50Oh, don't you throw this back on me, Kayla.
08:53You were the one doing something highly inappropriate on hospital grounds using hospital property.
08:57I mean, good lord, woman.
08:59That book is shamelessly explicit, borderline obscene.
09:02Hmm.
09:03How would you know?
09:04I've seen a few copies left out in the staff lounges and, well, curiosity got the better of me.
09:11But my having skimmed through your salacious novel is the least of your worries,
09:14since if the general public found out that the distinguished chief of staff of University Hospital was secretly racy romance writer Anastasia...
09:20Oh, this is insane!
09:22I'm very disturbing.
09:23I mean, aside from your reputation being tarnished, you could seriously undermine the respectability of this very hospital,
09:29which would leave me no choice but to have to fire you.
09:31You know what?
09:32There has been a giant misunderstanding.
09:34A fiasco, actually.
09:36Because I'll tell you something, the only thing that I write are prescriptions and referrals and, uh, chart summaries.
09:42In fact, I was not even in my office last night.
09:46But I was.
09:50I could hear you both all the way down the hall, and, Mom, I can't let you do that.
09:54Do what?
09:55Take the heat for this.
10:00My mother is not Anastasia Sands.
10:06I am.
10:14Welcome, Miss Morgan.
10:16Uh, we, we're so excited to meet you.
10:19We weren't expecting you until nine.
10:20Oh, right.
10:22Well, our office finds that we get the best sense of people's energy if we show up a tad early.
10:28Right, you know, and that, you know, that makes a lot of sense.
10:30It's just, uh, things are a little bit more chaotic around here than normal with the blackout last night.
10:36So we just, we weren't quite ready.
10:39Yeah, I completely understand.
10:41Yeah.
10:42So, why don't you just go and do whatever it is you gotta do, and I'll just poke around.
10:48No, no, that actually won't be necessary.
10:51Uh, as long as you're okay with us not being dressed in our, uh, finest.
10:55Of course, that's no problem.
10:58Okay, then.
10:59Uh, great, uh, please, have a seat.
11:02Great.
11:04Mm, okay.
11:05Oh, my.
11:10Those look delicious.
11:12Oh, please, please, have one.
11:15Oh, okay, don't mind if I do.
11:19They're actually from my bakery.
11:22Oh.
11:22Sweet bits.
11:23Oh, my gosh.
11:24There you go.
11:26Oh, my goodness.
11:38That is divine.
11:40Yes.
11:40Is this a cream puff?
11:42Yes, it is our most popular pastry.
11:45Oh, wow.
11:46Yeah, uh, Chanel is a phenomenal baker.
11:50Oh, clearly.
11:51Not to mention an exceptional businesswoman.
11:54Mm.
11:54With a very proud husband, obviously.
11:57Yes, guilty.
12:00Okay.
12:01Hmm.
12:02Well, we should begin.
12:06Should we?
12:06Yeah.
12:07Yeah, we're ready.
12:08Okay.
12:09Well, I just have a few questions for you.
12:12Um, starting with this.
12:16A letter was dropped off at my office last night.
12:23A letter?
12:25From who?
12:26From the mother of the baby that was left at the firehouse.
12:38Oh, my God.
12:39Holly passed out from drinking last night.
12:40I think she's still in our room.
12:46Holly.
12:47Holly?
12:48Are you in there?
12:49Holly.
12:50Holly.
12:50Holly.
12:50Holly.
12:50Holly.
12:54You are Anastasia Sands.
13:12That's my pseudonym.
13:13Uh, yes.
13:14And you allowed your daughter to promote her shoddy romance novel on the hospital's dime?
13:19She didn't know that I was doing that.
13:21I told her that it was an emergency.
13:22She had no idea.
13:23That my daughter was Salem's brilliant literary mind?
13:27Ugh.
13:27Oh, excuse me.
13:31Ah, I have been a patient to attend to.
13:33So, I will pick this up later.
13:36I'm proud of you.
13:37Thanks, Mom.
13:38So, um, will I get an autographed copy of your book?
13:48You can have several.
13:50They make great gifts.
13:52Right.
13:52Although, unlike myself, most of my friends and family have most likely already read One Stormy Night,
13:57since it's quite the rage, apparently.
13:59And none of them would have ever guessed that none other than my demure PR whiz is...
14:06Is what?
14:09Well, capable of writing such provocative scenes with very, well...
14:17titillating erotic imagery.
14:19You know, I'm getting the sense that you actually have read my book.
14:25And that, you know, you just may have gotten a little hot and bothered by some of that titillating erotic imagery.
14:36You got a letter from the biological mother of the baby?
14:41I did, yes.
14:43Oh, and who is she?
14:44The mother prefers to remain anonymous.
14:46Okay, well, what did she say?
14:52Okay.
14:55To whom it may concern, I am the birth mother of the baby that was left at the fire station.
15:02I know I abandoned my rights to any say in his future,
15:06but I've recently learned Johnny and Chanel DiMera are being considered to adopt my baby.
15:12I want to register my most strenuous objection,
15:17as they are totally unfit and undeserving.
15:22Mr. DiMera recently stood trial for attempted murder.
15:34And while he wasn't convicted of the crime,
15:36what the trial revealed both about his temper and his threats to kill his father
15:41make me gravely concerned about his fitness to be a parent.
15:44I'm going to run into sweet bits real quick and grab some pastries to pop over.
15:50That's a smart idea.
15:52Um, 9 a.m., right?
15:53Oh, yes.
15:549 a.m.
15:54I double and triple checker.
15:57I can't believe it's tomorrow.
15:59I know, right?
15:59I really feel like it's going to work out this time.
16:02I think you're right.
16:04I think little Tesoro is meant to be ours.
16:06Additionally, I have it on good authority
16:27that Johnny DiMera is engaged in an inappropriate relationship
16:32with a student in his film class at Salem University.
16:37No.
16:38No way.
16:39What?
16:39No.
16:50Damn candle.
16:52Holly, come on.
16:53Holly, we got to go.
16:55Oh, my God.
16:56Holly, come on.
16:57We got to go.
16:59It's okay.
16:59It's okay.
17:00I got to go.
17:01Okay.
17:01It's okay.
17:02So Maggie is on her way.
17:18And I spoke to Nicole.
17:20I'd let her know what's going on.
17:22How are you doing?
17:25My head is killing me.
17:26I think I just need some caffeine.
17:29Got a bad hangover there?
17:31That obvious?
17:36Let me ask you something.
17:37What the hell were you thinking?
17:39What are you doing?
17:40Dad, come on.
17:40Please don't do this right now.
17:43Okay?
17:43I was just letting off some steam along with everyone else in my dorm.
17:47Well, take everyone else.
17:49Isn't the child of two addicts.
17:51Not to mention your girlfriend almost died this morning.
17:54Just like she almost died when she OD'd on New Year's Eve.
17:57Dad, look, I swear, I don't know what Holly was doing last night.
18:01Whatever it is, it wasn't with me.
18:08She's not my girlfriend anymore.
18:10We broke up.
18:10Wow.
18:17I actually embarrassed E.J. DiMera.
18:20Who I'd have thought was unflappable.
18:22Impervious to shame.
18:23I'm not ashamed.
18:25Although you certainly are.
18:27Needing to hide behind a pseudonym.
18:30I'm willing to have anyone know that you are capable of, well, having written all that, um...
18:35Titillating erotic imagery.
18:37I think that's an apt description, don't you?
18:39It works.
18:40Yeah.
18:42But just for the record,
18:44my choosing to publish my book under a pseudonym was for purely professional reasons.
18:48Nothing to do with shame.
18:51I wanted to keep my novel from interfering with my PR career.
18:55I wanted to keep those two very separate.
19:01On the Santa plane.
19:03Right, so...
19:05You understand?
19:07Can I count on you to be discreet?
19:10Or do you plan to out me?
19:16Yeah, I screwed up, Dad.
19:18Like, big time.
19:20Royally.
19:21Like, I was an idiot to think
19:23that I could somehow get Sophia to tell me the truth by pretending I was into her.
19:28Not only was it idiotic, it was just shady.
19:32And not only did it not work, but...
19:35Holly found out.
19:36Hmm.
19:38I'm guessing that's why, uh, you broke up.
19:41Yeah.
19:43She was just beyond pissed off at me.
19:47You know what?
19:48I don't blame her.
19:48No.
19:53What was that?
19:55Well, nothing.
19:56Just some random scam or virus.
19:59But crisis averted, at least that one for now.
20:01Um, look, Miss, Miss, um...
20:03Morgan?
20:05Miss Morgan.
20:09Everything that the mother of that firehouse baby is saying
20:13is complete fiction.
20:14Yeah.
20:15And, my God, how would she even know anything about Johnny?
20:18Oh, actually, she explains.
20:21Um, I know about Mr. Damaris' inappropriate relationship
20:26because I saw the student sexting.
20:29Yeah, my God, no.
20:31No way.
20:31Look, none of that is true.
20:33Oh, you have no problem with a quick check on your cell phone, then?
20:36My cell phone?
20:38Um, this is really...
20:39Can you just handle your phone, Johnny?
20:41Uh, yeah, um...
20:45Uh, my texts go back, like, a month
20:47and I don't delete any of my photos, so...
20:50Okay.
20:51Oh, you got a new message.
20:53Oh, a new message, I...
20:54Oh.
21:01Oh.
21:01Oh.
21:11So, yeah, even though Holly and I weren't together last night,
21:16she's hurt, and she's angry because of me.
21:20It's my fault that she got so drunk and she passed out, Dad.
21:24And...
21:24I mean...
21:26You saved her life, Dad.
21:28If you hadn't...
21:29Had gone into the room and saved her when you did,
21:31I mean, my God, if anything happened to her,
21:33I really don't know what...
21:34I'm sorry, sir.
21:35Hey, KLS, hey, how's...
21:37How's Holly doing?
21:37Uh, well, she's okay.
21:40You know, she has mild smoke inhalation
21:42and she's suffering from the residual effects from the intoxication.
21:46But she's a very lucky lady.
21:48I think she's gonna make a full recovery.
21:51Thank God.
21:52That's great.
21:52Um, can I go see her?
21:55I think that's up to Holly.
22:02My God, what is this?
22:05I don't know.
22:06Look, I swear, I don't know.
22:10Is...
22:11Holly?
22:12I have no idea.
22:13You called her last night?
22:15Okay, because...
22:16Yes, because she had a question about one of her assignments.
22:18Go back through our text.
22:19You'll see that's all it was.
22:20I think I'll leave you two to sort this out.
22:23Please, please, you can't go.
22:24Please.
22:25Please, this is all just a crazy misunderstanding.
22:27I am very sorry, but this home visit is officially over.
22:30You son of a...
22:35How could you do this to me, Johnny?
22:40How could you...
22:41While I'm not happy that you've been moonlighting all this time,
22:57what with the clinic opening and a celebratory gala on the horizon,
23:01the last thing this hospital needs is for all the good it's doing
23:05to be overshadowed by its publicist's dance of deception.
23:11Dramatic way of putting it.
23:13Would you prefer double life?
23:15I would prefer you focus on all of the good work I've been doing for you.
23:19Fine.
23:24That's another reason why I'll keep your other career on the down low.
23:30You are an asset to this hospital.
23:34A seller employee.
23:36Wow.
23:37An actual compliment.
23:39Don't get used to it.
23:41In fact, if I were you,
23:44I'd be doing everything in my power to stay on my good side from now on.
23:49And if I were you,
23:51I would be careful about threatening a stellar employee
23:54who is an asset to the hospital.
23:57Because it is clear that you need me.
24:00Hmm.
24:02Interesting perspective.
24:03Though somewhat skewed.
24:05Skewed?
24:07How so?
24:08Well, from where I sit,
24:11I'd say what we have
24:12is more of a mutual dependency.
24:16I'd say
24:18we need each other.
24:29Ari,
24:30what's going on?
24:30Why are there fire trucks outside?
24:32Why do you think?
24:33Oh, my God.
24:36Where was the fire?
24:38In our room.
24:42A candle that was left over from the blackout
24:44got knocked over
24:45and it, um,
24:46it fell into the trash.
24:49But
24:49I,
24:51Holly got out, right?
24:53Yeah,
24:54Tate's dad got her.
24:56She was unconscious
24:57when they put her in the ambulance.
24:59She's in the hospital.
25:00I really wish I could tell my dad
25:08about all this.
25:11No, he,
25:11he wouldn't know what to do.
25:13He would know what to say.
25:15I think you do okay on your own, Brady.
25:18You probably saved Holly's life today.
25:22Well, there's more.
25:23I didn't tell Tate
25:27that Rafe's foster kid
25:28might actually be his son.
25:30I didn't want to say anything
25:31until I was certain.
25:33Now I'm thinking
25:34maybe I should have said something
25:35because that would have saved
25:36Holly and Tate
25:37a lot of heartache.
25:39Well, I don't think
25:39you should beat yourself up.
25:41You did what you thought
25:42was right at the time
25:43and that's all
25:43any of us can do.
25:45You're right.
25:47And once we get
25:48the baby's DNA test back
25:50and everything's out in the open,
25:51I'm sure that'll clear the air
25:52with Holly and Tate.
25:54Yeah.
25:55Listen, why don't I go
25:56check the lab
25:57and see if the results
25:58are back yet?
26:00Because it's going to be a relief
26:02once we finally know the truth.
26:04Okay.
26:05Okay.
26:19So, now that we've
26:21established that we're
26:24in, I guess you could call it
26:26a codependent relationship.
26:31Wait, you're in what?
26:33I'm happy to report
26:35that your daughter and I
26:36are in sync, if you will.
26:40Have the two of you
26:41hashed this out
26:41or is this just a temporary truce?
26:44The former.
26:45EJ has agreed
26:47to keep my secret identity
26:49under wraps.
26:51And Stephanie has agreed
26:52to continue to be
26:53a stellar employee,
26:55an asset to this hospital,
26:57and to me,
26:59a steadfast ally.
27:01Olly, thank God
27:11you are okay.
27:12My God.
27:14I...
27:14When I saw my dad
27:16carry you out of that room,
27:17I...
27:17I...
27:18I was beyond worried.
27:20I don't know what I thought,
27:21but...
27:22Look...
27:24Okay,
27:25I...
27:25I was so dumb.
27:28I'm so sorry
27:29about everything.
27:31Yeah, well,
27:33I shouldn't have
27:33gotten drunk.
27:35I just shouldn't have
27:36trusted you.
27:37Look...
27:40Just don't...
27:41Don't say that.
27:43I...
27:43Look,
27:44I am so,
27:46so beyond sorry.
27:47I...
27:47I screwed up,
27:49like,
27:49majorly.
27:50I...
27:50I...
27:51I'm so sorry.
27:53I just want to say
27:53I love you so much,
27:54and I know...
27:55I know that we can
27:56work this out.
27:57But we could,
27:58David.
28:00We can't.
28:01It's over.
28:02It's over.
28:07Holly's in the hospital.
28:11Why?
28:13Because she was in the room
28:15when the fire started.
28:17She totally passed out.
28:19But Tay texted her earlier
28:20and said she was
28:20going to be okay.
28:21Thank God.
28:22Just a little smoke inhalation.
28:24Okay.
28:24That's a relief.
28:25Yeah.
28:27Um,
28:27what time did all
28:29of this happen at?
28:32I don't know,
28:33around nine?
28:37I should go.
28:39I need to see
28:39if they'll let me
28:40back into my room.
28:41Yeah.
29:02Chanel.
29:04I swear,
29:05Holly Jonas
29:06is a student to me.
29:07That is all.

29:12No, okay?
29:13Look,
29:13I don't know
29:14what's going on,
29:15but that is a lie.
29:17Somebody's setting me up,
29:18okay?
29:18You have to believe me.
29:19No, Aaron,
29:20I believe,
29:21Johnny.

29:24my dream.
