00:00Hey, Brady. How are you?
00:06I'm good. I just dropped Rachel off at an appointment. Dr. Fuller.
00:11I'm so glad she's in therapy. I'm a huge believer in therapy.
00:16In fact, Xander and I are about to start couples therapy.
00:21Really? Do you agree to that?
00:25Well, I made it mandatory if we aren't going to give our relationship a chance.
00:30Yeah. No, it's better to deal with things before they go off the rails.
00:35Especially when there's kids involved.
00:43Maybe I should text Holly again.
00:45Johnny, you've already sent her a hundred messages.
00:48Then why isn't she reading them?
00:51I need to know why she would send me those provocative photos of herself.
00:55And right in the middle of our adoption process, no less.
00:58I mean, the timing. It couldn't have been worse.
01:01I don't know what she was thinking.
01:04Okay. All right, the new room's starting to come together, huh?
01:20No? Yes?
01:21Mmm. I don't know. I like to have the room better. Just to, like, closer to everything.
01:27Hmm. Not by much.
01:30You know, being here, it's kind of like the fire never happened, right?
01:33Except it totally did, Ari. And it's 100% on me.
01:36Would you stop saying that Holly was an accident?
01:39Yeah, well, I doubt the disciplinary committee's gonna be all about forgiving.
01:42I mean, not only are candles not allowed in the dorms. I was wasted. I'm probably gonna get expelled.
01:48Ugh. Stop being so doom and gloom.
01:52You know what? It's okay. Honestly, it might be a blessing in disguise if I were to get kicked out of Salemio.
01:59Holly, why would you say that?
02:02Because I'm really starting to hate it here.
02:08Whoa. Hey. Roman sent you on break, too, huh?
02:13Yeah. Just gonna go take a walk down by the pier.
02:17Okay. See ya.
02:18Oh, my God.
02:21Oh, my God.
02:33Hey.
02:35JJ.
02:37Uh, you wanted to see me?
02:39Yes.
02:40Yes.
02:41We did.
02:43I didn't get a chance to thank you for everything you did to help restore order in the square during the blackout.
02:50I'm sure it was... challenging.
02:54Yeah.
02:56It was.
02:59Is there something you want to share with me?
03:01Actually, there is something I want to talk to you about.
03:18I'm resigning from the Force.
03:20Hey, you! Stop!
03:40I said drop it!
03:42Look, I don't want to shoot you, but I will. For the last time, drop the gun!
03:50I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. Are you alright?
04:05Like sand through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.
04:12Oh, hey. Yeah, I'm okay. I was just lost in thought.
04:29About what happened here last night?
04:32What do you mean?
04:34Well, they're blackout. They're looting.
04:38I hope it didn't affect your feelings about moving back here.
04:43Actually, there's a lot to think about.
04:48Being back in Salem, it stirs up all kinds of feelings.
04:51Well, you don't really hate it here, do you?
05:02We've had some epic times, right?
05:04Ari, you know I love being roommates with you. I do. But, aside from that, the rest of my life is like a total disaster right now.
05:13I mean, between the fire and the drama with Tate and Sophia.
05:16Like, he freaking lives down the hall from us. And him and Sophia are in my film class.
05:22Alright, yeah, I know that that part sucks, but...
05:26Tate is just a guy, Holly.
05:29You're a queen.
05:32Mm-hmm. Queen of the screw-ups.
05:35No, I'm being serious.
05:38You can do so much better.
05:42I mean, just look at how Tate has let you down over and over again. I mean, you are not the one who cheated.
05:47Yeah, I know.
05:49But I really thought we were going to be able to work this out.
05:52I mean, we got through Sophia's pregnancy. We got through the baby being adopted.
05:56But lately, I just, I don't understand why everything went sideways like this.
06:03What's going on?
06:05Um, nothing.
06:07I mean, it's, it's obviously not nothing. You got a text and you went full drama mode. What's going on?
06:13Okay, fine.
06:17Look, a friend of mine told me that Holly is seeing an older guy. An older married guy.
06:25I'm sorry to just drop that on you.
06:30I, I, I just, I find that hard to believe who's the guy.
06:36None other than the film professor.
06:40Johnny Demura.
06:44If Holly thought that she could send you those stupidly risque photos to try and come between us again, then that girl is sadly mistaken.
06:53Of course she was, okay, but I just, I don't, this doesn't seem like her.
06:59You know, it's so deluded, spiteful.
07:02Honestly, I just thank God you believe in me, Chanel.
07:07Of course I do, Johnny.
07:09You believed in me too, okay?
07:12We, we've been through a whole lot together and our love for each other, it's kept us strong.
07:17It's kept us strong.
07:19Yeah, definitely.
07:23I just, I just hope that this hasn't messed up our chances to adopt baby Tesoro because I know it sounds crazy, but Johnny, he has my heart already.
07:36It doesn't sound crazy at all.
07:39Cause he has mine too.
07:40I mean, Xander and I still have a, a long way to go. The kind of trust issues that we've dealt with don't just go away overnight.
08:03Yeah, but you, you feeling hopeful.
08:09I am. Yeah, for the first time in a very long time.
08:14Sorry. Hang on a sec.
08:19Is everything okay?
08:20Yeah, I'm just, I'm just waiting on a very important message. There it is.
08:27Damn it.
08:28That's when I saw Theo Carver from the back.
08:37I identified myself as an officer and I let him know that he was out past the curfew.
08:43Then I ordered him to turn around.
08:46Our team was just trying to clear everyone from the square.
08:51Theo was on his way to city hall to pick up Paulina's phone.
08:54Yeah, that's what he said.
08:59Wait, how did you know that?
09:03Theo came back to my office to pick up Paulina.
09:07And he told me something happened in the square.
09:10He seemed pretty shaken up.
09:13We both were.
09:14It felt so much like what happened last time.
09:26When you shot him.
09:32Son, the only thing I've ever wanted is for you to be happy.
09:39I wanted that ever since you were a little boy.
09:44Your mom too.
09:46Not a day goes by I don't think about her.
09:49What she'd want from me.
09:52Whether she'd be proud of the decisions I made.
09:57Well, I can promise you.
10:00That she would be over the moon proud of you.
10:05Just as I am.
10:17This doesn't make any sense.
10:20I mean, it kind of does.
10:23Do you remember how she was crushing on Johnny back when he was her step brother?
10:28I mean, yes, yeah.
10:30Of course I do.
10:31Yeah, when I met her she was all about Johnny.
10:33But no, she's totally over him.
10:36Yeah, and I thought she was too.
10:38But you know, maybe it's like when you like an older guy and then he becomes your college professor and that just kind of gets you all interested again.
10:55It makes it even hotter.
10:57Everything's gonna get better, Holly.
11:04I promise.
11:06I mean, the school year's barely started.
11:09Just give it a chance.
11:10Okay?
11:12At least my new phone's finally finished being set up.
11:16Still don't know what happened to the other one.
11:21What's wrong?
11:22What?
11:23What's wrong?
11:24All my photos and texts are gone from the cloud.
11:27You're kidding.
11:28Oh my God.
11:30And why do I have all these new messages from Johnny DeMira?
11:38Johnny, I'm really sorry about how I reacted when I first saw those pictures that Holly sent you.
11:45Hey, don't be.
11:46You were...
11:48You were shocked.
11:50And upset.
11:51Believe me, I was...
11:52I was pretty shocked myself.
11:55But you did say that Holly just ended things with Tate and that she's been drinking, right?
12:06It's Holly.
12:11Holly, hey.
12:13Hey, I just got your text. What's going on?
12:16Uh, Chanel and I need to speak with you right away.
12:19Uh, okay.
12:20Is this about my paper?
12:22I'd rather not discuss it over the phone.
12:26Can we meet?
12:28Um, yeah, sure. Where are you?
12:30I'm at home.
12:32Okay, well, I can swing by your place now if that's cool with you.
12:36That'd be great. I will be waiting for you.
12:38Bad news, huh?
12:39No, it's just disappointing. I thought I had a lead on Tate's baby and, uh, turns out I was wrong.
12:56How did Holly sound on the phone?
12:57Like she had no idea why I was even calling her.
12:59Yeah, right.
13:00Yeah.
13:01I don't know. Maybe she's just embarrassed now that she's sobered up.
13:02Yeah, well, she damn well should be.
13:03Hey.
13:04We good?
13:05You mean, like, am I good not to go Wolverine on her ass?
13:07Yeah.
13:08We good.
13:09Yeah, we good.
13:10You mean, like, am I good not to go Wolverine on her ass?
13:23Yeah, we good.
13:24Yeah, we're good.
13:29Okay.
13:30Yeah, we're good.
13:34i just don't believe that holly would be hooking up with my cousin johnny i mean for one he's
13:50happily married yeah i know it's pretty extreme
13:55so this is just one person saying this well i i mean my friend heard it from like a few people but
14:06you know how rumors get around it doesn't make it true right so okay then this person might just be
14:11trying to cause trouble yeah or maybe holly made up the rumor herself just to make you jealous or
14:21to punish you no she wouldn't do that well i mean you did say that she was pretty hurt when she found
14:29out about us hanging out the other night i mean yeah she was i just what
14:38i mean how do you think she found out that we kissed
14:44all right

16:44i mean i really messed up last night
16:47i don't know if you heard but i i ended up passing out and i knocked a light candle into trash can and it like
16:53cause this fire

16:56oh
16:58is that why you wanted to see me today or
17:02no it is not
17:03come on holly you must know the reason i asked you over here is because of those photos you sent me
17:09photos
17:10what are you talking about with photos
17:12really
17:13that's how you want to play this
17:15i don't

17:31um
17:31there you go

17:35when theo came back to my office
17:53he told me that something happened and he brought up the question of racial profiling
17:58i see
18:00jj i need to ask you a very serious question
18:06would you have stopped him if he'd been wiped
18:10yes
18:13of course
18:15there was a city-wide curfew in effect
18:19i was stopping everyone
18:21so you engaged with residents of all races who broke curfew that night
18:26i did
18:27and were you consistent
18:29with your actions and attitude
18:32i believe so
18:34each time i would request for them to leave the square
18:39and if they didn't comply my second attempt would be more direct
18:43but not aggressive
18:45in your encounter with theo
18:48did you escalate the situation inappropriately
18:52did you draw your weapon
18:57no
18:58so you spoke to him in a direct manner
19:02because you thought he was not complying
19:04is that right
19:06yes
19:08then in my eyes
19:10you did everything by the book

24:03when sophia
24:04slipped
24:05and referred to the baby as a him
24:08instead of a her
24:09i did a little digging
24:10what um
24:13what exactly were you looking for
24:16i had a crazy theory
24:19what if sophia lied about the gender of the baby
24:23because she delivered earlier than expected
24:27and dropped the kid off at the firehouse
24:30how's the coffee
24:46what's in it
24:50right dan
24:50um
24:51that is
24:53oat milk

24:55and an extra shot of espresso
24:56it was a special
24:57right
24:59yeah
25:02uh
25:02never had one of these before
25:04you know you can tell me if you don't like it
25:09i mean i only bought the coffee
25:10i didn't make it
25:11okay
25:12it's not my favorite but
25:14it's
25:15it's growing on me
25:16weird
25:18that's what people say about me too
25:20you know they didn't have coffee places
25:27like this
25:28here when i was a kid
25:29did
25:31wait did you grow up here in salem
25:34yep
25:34me too
25:36but i
25:37i like moved away for a while
25:39same here
25:40i just got back a few weeks ago
25:42cool
25:44well how do you like being home
25:47eh
25:48i'm not sure
25:49still doesn't feel like home yet
25:52yeah
25:55yeah it didn't really feel like that for me either in the beginning but
25:59you know i just
26:01give it a little time and
26:02before you know it you'll be vibing with salem all over again
26:06i've gone through the training on implicit bias
26:13and i know
26:15just like everyone else
26:18i have certain prejudices but i have tried very hard
26:24to be aware of them
26:26to ensure
26:28what happened to theo carver
26:30never happens again
26:32even though i was cleared of wrongdoing
26:36and all the charges were dropped against me
26:38something like that
26:41it lives with you forever
26:43after it happened
26:46i lost hope
26:50hated myself
26:54went into a really dark place
26:58but you found your way out
27:01thanks to friends and family
27:04and since it happened
27:07i've tried very hard
27:09to be a better person
27:11in every way possible
27:13seems to me like you're doing a pretty good job of it
27:17but in the square
27:20and theo saw me
27:23and got upset
27:25and he told me that me rejoining the same one pd was a mistake
27:31and that i didn't have the judgment to be a good cop
27:36maybe theo is right
27:41maybe i'm not fit to serve
27:45um well
27:50if you're right
27:53and sophia
27:54did leave her baby
27:56at the firehouse drop-off
27:57then
27:58one could argue that she did the right thing
28:01i mean those drop-off locations
28:04are set up
28:04to give people
28:05a legal and safe way
28:07to hand over
28:09an unwanted newborn
28:10sure
28:10no i agree
28:12i agree with that
28:12look my investigation
28:13has nothing to do with
28:14questioning her decision
28:16it has everything to do with
28:18finding out what happened
28:19to my grandchild
28:20it doesn't matter anyway
28:24because
28:24the baby does not
28:27belong to tate and sophia
28:28what
28:31rafe provided me with a dna sample from tesoro
28:36and i got a hold of tate's toothbrush

29:36you think i sent that letter to the social worker
29:39like i said it was written by someone claiming to be the baby's birth mother
29:45and
29:47well it's hard not to think that it was connected to those pictures you sent since
29:54whoever wrote the letter knew that you had feelings for johnny
29:57but i don't have feelings for johnny
29:59polly
30:00i mean i haven't for a long time i got over those
30:04i literally have no clue how any of this is happening
30:07okay what's the last thing that you remember from the night of the fire
30:12i was talking to you on the phone about losing my paper and then
30:19started to feel sick i think i might have taken a shower and then
30:23i woke up in the hospital this morning that's it that's that's all i remember
30:27okay okay look let's just let's take this step by step okay
30:32i'm really sorry i just i don't think i can do this it's

31:24pio
31:25it's nice to meet you
31:28same to you
31:29i hope to see you around
31:32i'd like that
31:35listen jj
31:42if i didn't think you were capable of being a good cop
31:45i would be the first one to take back your badge and your gun
31:52i've been on the job for a long time
31:53and from where i sit
31:56i think you're a great cop and a credit to this force
31:59i'm not so sure
32:01you need to have confidence
32:04okay because if you start second guessing your instincts and doubting yourself
32:09then you will be a liability
32:12i understand
32:15look
32:17why don't you take a few days off
32:19get a session with the department psychiatrist on the books
32:22okay
32:26i'll do that
32:28and
32:31we'll revisit the matter of your resignation after that
32:36does that work for you
32:38yeah
32:41commissioner
32:48thank you
32:52for believing in me
32:55well
33:02holly sure did seem shocked to see those photos
33:05totally
33:07and
33:09yeah she has bent the truth in the past
33:11but
33:12that look on her face
33:14but if she didn't mean to send those photos
33:18and she had nothing to do with the letter then
33:20how would the woman who's claiming to be
33:23tesoro's biological mom
33:25get the idea that i'm in some sort of
33:27inappropriate relationship with her
33:29i know
33:30and and how would that woman even know
33:32that we were hoping to adopt her baby
33:34the timing of it's all just
33:35it's way off
33:36i just
33:37i wish that holly could remember more about what happened
33:40before she ended up in the hospital
33:41wait a minute
33:45didn't holly just say
33:46that she got a new phone
33:49because she lost her old one in the fire
33:51and those photos were sent
33:53while she was still in the hospital
33:55before
33:56she had gotten the new phone
33:58so if she's telling the truth
34:00she couldn't have sent those photos at all
34:04oh my god
34:06johnny you're right
34:07okay so then who did
34:11and why
34:11so the message that you just got
34:18was the results of the
34:20second dna test
34:22confirming that tate and tesoro are not a match
34:25so that baby from the firehouse
34:27is definitely not tate and sophia's
34:30you think i hurt my baby
34:33i think that
34:35your story doesn't add up honey
34:38your examination indicates that you've given birth
34:43much earlier than you said you did
34:46and i do know that you're lying about the sex of the baby
34:50but he's safe
34:54that's all you need to know
34:56i'm so sorry brady
35:00i can see how disappointed you are
35:03i am
35:05well
35:09i have to get back to work
35:12i'm so sorry
35:13no of course you do
35:14i'm gonna go see steve
