00:00Well, hello there.
00:05Hi, Sarah.
00:06I didn't expect to see you here.
00:08I thought that you and Philip had a meeting with Tony tonight.
00:11No, we do.
00:11But to refuel, I found his legacy driving on this.
00:16You got this.
00:19Tony won't know what hit him.
00:20Your lips.
00:23Speaking of.
00:30For luck.
00:31I'll take all the luck I can get.
00:34Well, I will leave you to it.
00:37Knock him dead.
00:41But not, like, literally.
00:44Okay.
00:45Okay.
00:53Freshly brewed.
00:54Can I get you one?
00:58Tempting, but no.
01:00The last thing my nerves need right now is caffeine.
01:05I don't suppose Brady and Alex have steadier hands at the moment.
01:09From what I can tell, when I walked them out,
01:12they were as concerned as we all are.
01:15But they know the roles they have to play tonight.
01:19Brady's fine taking the lead with legal.
01:21Someone has to.
01:23I mean, in case the meeting with Tony doesn't go as planned.
01:26And Alex, he's being briefed on the comms strategy.
01:31The SJPR developed in the event that the lawsuit goes forward.
01:35Which would expose my fraud.
01:42None of us would be in this mess if I hadn't gone along with Vivian,
01:45forging that letter from Dad.
01:47You made a colossal mistake.
01:49What matters most, though, is that you're trying to make it right.
01:54We all are.
01:55And I have to believe that despite everything,
01:59that's what Victor would have wanted, above all else.
02:01for all of us to come together as family.
02:09I just hope that's enough to keep Dad's company
02:11from falling into the hands of Tony DiMera.
02:22It's almost time, Father.
02:23Okay, so...
02:33If Holly didn't mean to send those photos
02:35and she had nothing to do with the letter,
02:38then how in the world
02:41did the woman who's claiming to be Tesoro's biological mother
02:44come to believe that I'm in some kind of
02:46inappropriate relationship with her?
02:47And how did she even know that we were hoping to adopt her baby?
02:50The timing of it all just seems way off.
02:52I just wish that Holly could remember more
02:54about what happened before she ended up in the hospital.
02:59Wait a minute, did...
03:00So, Holly said
03:01that she got a new phone
03:05because she lost her old one in the fire, right?
03:08Right.
03:09And those pictures came through
03:11while she was still in the hospital.
03:12Before she got the new phone.
03:14So, if Holly's telling the truth...
03:17She couldn't have been the one
03:18to send those photos at all.
03:21Oh, my God.
03:22You're right.
03:25So, who did and why?
03:27How do we get to the truth?
03:32I think I know someone who can help us.
03:39Holly, what are you doing?
03:41Moving out.
03:42What? But I...
03:43We just talked about this.
03:44Dad, I-I know, and...
03:45I thought about it, Ari,
03:47but I can't stay here.
03:49So, I...
03:50I've made my decision.
03:52I'm dropping out of Salem, you.
03:53Uh, almost quitting time.
04:10Do you feel like hanging out
04:12after we clock out?
04:14Uh, thanks, but...
04:16I'm a little in my head right now.
04:18I don't think I'd be good company.
04:21I'm sorry.
04:22I-I probably shouldn't have said anything
04:24about Holly and Johnny.
04:27Um, I'm glad you did.
04:29I needed to know the truth.
04:31Well, even so, I mean,
04:35finding out that your ex
04:36is still hung up on your married cousin
04:38and-and sending him sex, no less,
04:40that's gotta hurt.
04:41Yeah, I-I-I don't think
04:43I want to talk about that.
04:44Where-where-where are you going?
04:45It's the mayor.
04:46Hey, Tate.
04:47Hey.
04:49I don't mind him.
04:50He's just got a lot going on right now.
04:53I bet.
04:54So, you can sit anywhere you like,
04:57and, um, my shift's just about to end,
04:59but if you know what you like,
05:01I could just take an order for you.
05:02Yeah, I do.
05:03I-you know.
05:03Um, I would like some answers.
05:08Why are you lying to me and everyone else?
05:10Like sands through the hourglass,
05:22so are the days of our lives.
05:24Do you honestly believe
05:37that Tony ever expected our family
05:40to be so united?
05:42I mean, it's clear as tragedy
05:44was to hit you and Xander against one another.
05:47Divide and conquer.
05:48Yeah.
05:49I've used it myself on occasion.
05:50It's pretty effective.
05:52Well, not this time.
05:58It means a lot,
05:59having you in my corner.
06:01Maggie.
06:02Brady and Alex, too.
06:04I just hope you don't end up regretting
06:07having my back through all this.
06:09Why would that be?
06:12Because once we detangle Titan from DiMera,
06:15the company will be in pretty much dire straits.
06:17What if we go through all this
06:21just to lose everything?
06:25Then, um,
06:26we rebuild.
06:29Your father built Titan from the ground up
06:31all by himself.
06:34But you're not alone, Philip.
06:36None of us are.
06:37See what Tony doesn't realize
06:40that you and your brother
06:42have accepted the fact
06:44that the Kyriakas family
06:46is much stronger together.
06:54Well,
06:54you drunk-sexted Johnny?
06:57Don't you'll back on the judgment, please.
06:59I'm mortified enough.
07:02Okay.
07:02I knew that you had a crush on him
07:06when you were in high school
07:07or whatever,
07:08but
07:08Holly, come on.
07:10He's your professor.
07:11He's married.
07:13He's my uncle.
07:14Yeah, I know, Ari, okay?
07:16Like I told you,
07:17I wasn't in my right mind.
07:18I'm...
07:18I don't know.
07:20I'm sure I was probably meaning
07:21to send those photos to Tate.
07:23But even so,
07:24I don't remember it
07:25or anything about last night
07:26for that matter.
07:30Look.
07:32We all do stupid stuff
07:34when we're drunk.
07:37I'm sorry I didn't do more.
07:39Oh my God,
07:40it's so not your fault.
07:42But I'm beyond humiliated.
07:44How am I supposed to face Johnny again?
07:46Or Chanel.
07:48God, I...
07:48I definitely can't keep taking his class.
07:52Holly,
07:52don't you think you're overreacting a bit?
07:55I mean,
07:55this is totally embarrassing,
07:56yeah,
07:57but
07:57when things happen,
07:59this will blow over.
08:01Come on.
08:02One month in
08:03and I've already made
08:03quite the name for myself here.
08:05Best case scenario,
08:06Johnny and Chanel think
08:07I sent those photos on accident.
08:09But it still doesn't let me
08:10off the hook
08:11for the fire I started.
08:12Probably gonna get kicked out
08:13of the dorms,
08:14like I said.
08:14Well then,
08:14we'll move out together
08:15and we'll find a place
08:17off campus.
08:18All right.
08:19Thank you for saying that.
08:20It means a lot to me,
08:21but let's face it,
08:24it caused all this trouble
08:25because obviously,
08:26I can't cope
08:27with being Ramte
08:27and Sophia.
08:29So,
08:29I think this is the universe
08:30telling me I need
08:31to get a change of scenery.
08:37You're not just talking
08:38about leaving the dorms,
08:39are you?
08:41No.
08:42I already spoke to my mom
08:44and I'm going to live
08:46with her in Paris
08:46like I should have done
08:47in the first place.
08:49It's time for me
08:50to get the hell out of Salem.
08:55Thank you, Rafe.
08:57Chanel and I really
08:57appreciate you doing this.
08:59Call me
08:59if you find something.
09:02Okay?
09:04What did Rafe say?
09:06He is going to use
09:07cell tower triangulation
09:09to pinpoint
09:10where the photos
09:11were sent from.
09:12And what if it turns out
09:13that the photos
09:13were sent from the hospital?
09:15Then we'll know
09:16Holly must have been
09:16the one who sent them
09:17and she's lying
09:18about not having her phone.
09:20And if they weren't,
09:21then we'll find out
09:22that someone
09:24must have sent them
09:25when she was being examined.
09:27And that same someone
09:28is trying to stop us
09:30from adopting that baby.
09:32The question is,
09:35who?
09:40I don't have time
09:42for whatever this is.
09:43make time.
09:47Not here.
09:50Can we do this
09:51after my shift?
09:53Fine.
09:54But text me
09:55when you are done
09:57and we will meet
09:57in the park.
10:00The minute
10:01you are done.
10:03still so many
10:21unanswered questions
10:22like,
10:22like how would
10:25DeSoro's birth mother
10:25have even found out
10:27that you and I
10:27wanted to adopt him?
10:29Well,
10:29that's probably my fault.
10:31I was a little
10:32loose-lipped
10:32about our plans.
10:34I told people to,
10:36okay?
10:36And besides,
10:37it's not like
10:37either of us
10:38could have ever known
10:38that it was going to lead
10:39to DeSoro's mother
10:41writing a letter
10:41to child services
10:42trashing me.
10:43Well,
10:44if it even came
10:44from her at all.
10:46I mean,
10:46we don't know for sure
10:47that DeSoro's mother
10:48wrote that letter.
10:49What we do know
10:51is that whoever did
10:52is probably the same person
10:53that's targeting Holly
10:54and they knew about
10:55her crush on you
10:56from way back when
10:56and they used it
10:57against us.
10:58Yeah,
10:58but I mean,
10:59why?
10:59Who would want to
11:00destroy our chances
11:01of having a family?
11:04To be honest,
11:05I can only think
11:06of one person.
11:09Your father.
11:09Your father.
11:09Harold said
11:18we could find you
11:19in here.
11:21Yes,
11:21well,
11:21Harold was right.
11:23So,
11:23what have you three
11:24decided about my offer?
11:27Well,
11:28we agreed
11:29that it would be best
11:30for both of our families
11:31if we kept this
11:32out of the courts.
11:34I couldn't agree more.
11:37Let it settle.
11:39DiMera will be returned
11:41to my family.
11:42That's correct,
11:43Tony.
11:44It's all yours.
11:50But Titan
11:51stays with us.
11:58Holly,
11:58come on,
11:58you can't just leave.
12:00Not like this.
12:02So you made a mistake,
12:03like we all have.
12:04I don't think
12:05that's a reason
12:05for you to move
12:06to a whole other continent.
12:07Holly,
12:08I love you
12:09for trying
12:10to talk me out
12:10of this.
12:11I do,
12:12but I've already
12:13made up my mind.
12:15Plus,
12:15my mom's super excited
12:17for me to come
12:17live in Paris.
12:18I'll go see
12:19my little brother
12:20grow up,
12:20and who knows,
12:21maybe I can even
12:22reapply to the Sorbonne.
12:24It's for the best.
12:28Yeah,
12:28I guess.
12:30Still.
12:31You're really
12:34going to leave me
12:35like this.
12:35It's all forever.
12:38And you can come
12:39visit me whenever.
12:40In fact,
12:40you better
12:41insist on it.
12:45Cafe LA is by day.
12:47Dance close by night.
12:49I think I can work with that.
12:52Can't wait.
12:55The earliest I could get
12:56on a flight
12:57isn't until tomorrow,
12:58so I was hoping
13:00you could do me a favor.
13:01Anything.
13:02Just don't tell
13:03Tate I'm leaving.
13:04At least not
13:05until I'm ready gone.
13:08Holly,
13:08I,
13:08please,
13:09Ari,
13:10just promise me.
13:15I promise.
13:18And hey,
13:19you, uh,
13:20you have to video chat
13:21with me the second
13:21you get settled, okay?
13:23Make me jealous
13:24of that new view
13:25of you, Ari,
13:25is that?
13:26Of course.
13:29Thank you
13:30for being the best thing
13:31to come out
13:32of a really crappy year.
13:34I'm,
13:35I'm really lucky
13:35to have you as a friend.
13:38Well,
13:40I'll be back at you.
13:46Okay, okay.
13:48Okay.
13:49I love you.
13:50I love you too.
13:51Okay.
13:52Okay.
13:52Good.
14:03You showed.
14:04I didn't think
14:05you were giving me
14:06much of a choice.
14:07So what's all this about?
14:11I need to know
14:12what happened
14:13to your baby.
14:15And I need you
14:15to tell me
14:16the truth
14:16this time.
14:18Excuse me?
14:19Are you calling me
14:20a liar?
14:23You said
14:24that you went
14:25into labor alone
14:26in your bedroom
14:27and you panicked
14:28because you didn't
14:28think that your mom
14:29or Tate would let you
14:30go through
14:30with the adoption
14:30so you left
14:31your baby
14:32at the fire station.
14:34Exactly.
14:35That,
14:35that is the truth
14:36and nothing but.
14:38And since you
14:38can't tell anybody
14:39without risking
14:40losing your medical license
14:41then we have nothing
14:42more to say
14:42to each other.
14:43Except my ethical duty
14:44to stay silent
14:45goes out the window
14:45if I think
14:46that something
14:47has happened
14:47to your baby.
14:51Maybe you panicked
14:52and you did
14:53something to him.
14:54What are you
14:56talking about?
14:57Of course
14:58the baby is safe
14:59that EMT
15:00brought him home.
15:01It's Tesoro
15:02he's like the happiest
15:03baby that I've ever seen.
15:04Stop lying to me
15:05Sophia.
15:05I'm not lying to you.
15:08And I told you
15:08all of this months ago
15:09so why now
15:10all of a sudden
15:10do you just not
15:11believe me?
15:13Because...
15:14Tesoro's DNA
15:15was tested
15:16and he is
15:17definitely
15:17not yours.
15:26My, my.
15:27It seems
15:28I've ever estimated
15:29your financial literacy
15:31it seems.
15:32We're by ready
15:33to go
15:34let's go
15:35all right.
15:35Well you do understand
15:36that by breaking up
15:37Titan, DiMera
15:38you'll be sending
15:40Victor's company
15:40into a death spiral.
15:42Titan's future
15:43is none of your concern.
15:44You've heard our offer
15:46take it or leave it.
15:47You'll regain control
15:48of your family's company
15:49and we'll hold
15:50on to ours.
15:51Yes, but what you'll
15:52be holding on to
15:53is the husk
15:53of its former self.
15:56Well, to borrow
15:56from the bard
15:57a fool thinks himself
16:00to be wise
16:01but a wise man
16:03a woman
16:03knows herself
16:05to be a fool.
16:07You realize
16:08you could lose
16:10everything
16:10that Victor
16:11bequeathed you.
16:13You're right I could.
16:14but that's a risk
16:16I'm willing to take
16:17for my family.
16:22Johnny
16:23we know
16:24that your father
16:25blames me
16:25for the rift
16:26between you guys.
16:27So who is to say
16:27that this isn't
16:28just another one
16:28of his schemes?
16:31I made a point
16:32specifically
16:33not to tell my father
16:35about this adoption.
16:36Okay, but it is possible
16:37that he could have
16:38found out about it
16:39from someone else.
16:40That's true.
16:40God knows my father
16:42is capable
16:43of stooping that low.
16:44I just
16:44I don't think
16:46he'd ever be
16:47this sloppy.
16:53Rafe, hey
16:54did you find anything?
16:57Really?
17:00So that means
17:01you will?
17:05Rafe
17:07thanks man
17:08I owe you one.
17:10Well?
17:12Photos were not
17:13sent from the hospital.
17:15The text I got
17:16pinged a tower
17:16near Horton Town Square.
17:18While Holly
17:18was still in the hospital.
17:20Mm-hmm.
17:20So that means
17:21she was telling the truth.
17:22She doesn't remember
17:23sending those photos
17:24because she didn't.
17:25Yeah.
17:27Which means
17:27we definitely
17:28were set up.
17:30Rafe said
17:30he's gonna take
17:31the info that he has
17:32and he's gonna
17:32back channel it
17:33to social services.
17:34So hopefully
17:35having an FBI agent
17:37vouch for us
17:38will smooth things
17:39over a bit.
17:41Oh my God.
17:43So does this mean
17:44that we may still
17:45have a fighting chance
17:46at adopting
17:46students?
17:47Yes, of course we do.
17:48Okay?
17:48We just have to prove
17:50beyond a shadow
17:52of a doubt
17:53that we deserve
17:54to be his parents.
17:55Okay?
17:55And that means
17:57we have to figure out
17:58who's screwing with us.
18:02Yeah, we do have
18:12a place to ourselves
18:13but I'm kind of thinking
18:15after last time
18:16we probably shouldn't
18:17tempt fate.
18:18Yeah, you're probably right.
18:20I think if your aunt Bella
18:21or anyone ever walked
18:22in on us again
18:23I would die of shame.
18:26That doesn't mean
18:27I can't do this.
18:27Hey, hey
18:48what's up?
18:49Hey
18:50I need to see Holly
18:51that could be a problem.
18:58Tesoro's not my baby.
19:00Now who's lying?
19:02Oh my God
19:02give it up Sophia
19:03there is no use
19:04in keeping this charade going.
19:06Me?
19:07I'm not the one
19:08who's making up
19:09some story
19:10about a DNA test.
19:12And why would one
19:13have even been run anyway?
19:14Brady asked Rafe
19:17to run one
19:17because he started
19:19to suspect
19:20Tesoro was
19:21Tate's son.
19:23You said something
19:24to him.
19:25No.
19:27Wherever his suspicions
19:28came from
19:28it did not come from me.
19:30I kept my word to you.
19:34Then the test
19:35there's something
19:37wrong with the test
19:38because Tesoro
19:39is my son.
19:40I'm the one
19:40who saw him
19:41who held him
19:42I would know.
19:42They ran the DNA test
19:44twice
19:45just to make sure
19:46Tesoro and Tate
19:48are not
19:48a parental match.
19:54Oh no.
19:57What?
20:01The test
20:02they
20:02they
20:02they didn't
20:03compare
20:04any of
20:05any of my
20:06DNA
20:06to the babies
20:07did they?
20:11Okay
20:12Tesoro
20:12is my son
20:13I swear
20:14but
20:15if what
20:17you're saying
20:18is true
20:18then
20:19then
20:22Tate
20:23isn't
20:23the father.
20:24I must say
20:37I'm disappointed
20:38may
20:38but I can
20:41understand
20:41why you would
20:42choose to come
20:42from your heart
20:43and look your head
20:44here
20:44and you as well
20:45because you both
20:46love Victor
20:47and he would do
20:48anything for you.
20:48it's your motivations
20:52that I don't
20:53quite understand.
20:55Well your comprehension
20:56isn't required
20:58Demeron.
20:58Mercifully so.
21:00What I cannot
21:01fathom
21:01is why you
21:02would be
21:03protecting
21:03the legacy
21:04of a man
21:04who didn't even
21:05acknowledge you
21:07as his son
21:08while he was
21:08still alive.
21:09You're out of line
21:10Tony.
21:11Meanwhile
21:11he doted on this
21:12spoiled
21:13shiftless brother
21:14of yours
21:14go to hell.
21:16So tell me
21:17Xander
21:17are you really
21:19willing to lose
21:20everything for a
21:21family
21:22that will never
21:24ever embrace you
21:25as one of their own?
21:31Holly isn't here.
21:33You uh
21:34you just missed her.
21:35Yeah.
21:35She's not answering
21:36any of my calls.
21:37Do you have any idea
21:37when she'll be back?
21:42No clue.
21:43Sorry.
21:44Wow.
21:47By all means
21:48make yourself at home.
21:51Can you please
21:52go easy on me?
21:54What's wrong?
21:55Don't tell me
21:56you haven't heard
21:56the rumor
21:57about Holly and Johnny.
21:58Yeah.
21:59I have.
22:01Okay.
22:01Well is it true?
22:04Did Uncle Brady
22:05and Aunt Teresa
22:05drop you on the head
22:06as a baby?
22:07Tate
22:07obviously it's not true.
22:10No.
22:10There is
22:11nothing going on
22:12between Holly and Johnny.
22:13Are you kidding me?
22:15No.
22:15Except for maybe
22:16some
22:17snooze-worthy
22:19conversations
22:19about some dead
22:20filmmaker called
22:21Douglas Sirk.
22:23Okay.
22:24How does a rumor
22:25like that even get
22:26started in the first
22:26place?
22:27I have an idea.
22:31Yeah.
22:31Okay.
22:35So let's pretend
22:36that we're in
22:37one of those
22:37noir films
22:38that you love
22:38so much.
22:39All right.
22:40First we have to
22:40come up with
22:40a list of suspects.
22:43Okay.
22:43Well let's think
22:45about it.
22:45Whoever sent
22:46those photos
22:47had to have
22:47access to Holly's
22:48phone so that's
22:49going to narrow
22:49down the list
22:49quite a bit.
22:50All right.
22:51And Holly
22:51lives on campus.
22:52So it was
22:53probably someone
22:54at Salem U.
22:56Maybe another
22:56student with an axe
22:57to grind.
23:00Chanel.
23:02I could kiss you.
23:04In fact,
23:05I will.
23:05Okay.
23:09Not that I'm
23:09complaining but
23:10what was that
23:11for?
23:11For helping me
23:12figure out
23:12who's targeting
23:13us.
23:16Oh my God.
23:18No, no, no, no,
23:19no, no, no,
23:19no, no.
23:20This can't be
23:21happening.
23:23What are you
23:23saying, Sophia?
23:25Did you have
23:27sex with someone
23:28else besides
23:29Tate around the
23:30time that your
23:30baby was conceived?
23:35And this
23:39guy, he's
23:42the baby's
23:42father.
23:45He must be.
23:49Come now,
23:50Xander.
23:51Do you realize
23:53you'll be falling
23:53on your own
23:54sword for people
23:55that wouldn't even
23:56think twice about
23:57selling you out?
24:00I may have
24:01been sure at one
24:01point that we
24:03were half divided
24:04and I may be
24:05curious at Philip
24:06for some of the
24:07choices he made
24:08but at the end
24:09of the day,
24:10he is my brother
24:11and I have his
24:12back.
24:14And I have
24:14yours.
24:18Shall we be
24:18going?
24:25I don't blame
24:25you for trying
24:26to come between
24:27us, Tony.
24:28But you
24:28failed.
24:30Throw whatever
24:31you'd like to
24:31at us.
24:32but we're
24:33not backing
24:34down.
24:37Yes.
24:38Well, until
24:39then, I'll
24:40take Tamara
24:41back and you
24:41can pick up
24:42the scraps of
24:42what's left
24:43of the mighty
24:43Titan industries.
24:47Meanwhile,
24:48I suspect I'll
24:50be snapping it
24:51up in a matter
24:51of months
24:52because you're
24:54going to be
24:54having to hold
24:55an embarrassing
24:56fire sale.
24:57thought I'd be
25:22more satisfying.
25:23wiping the
25:25smug grin off
25:26Tony DiMera's
25:26face.
25:27Don't worry,
25:28I'm sure Maggie
25:29felt enough
25:29satisfaction for
25:30the three of
25:30us.
25:31True.
25:32Still, I hate
25:33that we had to
25:33deal with that
25:34son of a bitch
25:34while he was
25:35in the position
25:35of power.
25:37Well, that
25:37part's over
25:38at least.
25:39Now the real
25:39work begins.
25:40Agreed.
25:41Need to let
25:42Brady and Alex
25:42know that it's
25:43done.
25:45Titan and DiMera
25:45will be untangled
25:46any day now.
25:47Xander, wait.
25:48Before we man
25:51our battle
25:51stations, I just
25:53want to clear
25:53the air.
25:56What Tony said
25:57about the family
25:58never embracing
25:58you.
25:58To hell with
25:59Tony DiMera.
26:00Be damned if
26:01I'll let one of
26:01Stefano's many
26:02bastards make me
26:03feel illegitimate.
26:04I'm every bit as
26:05much Victor's son
26:06as you and
26:06Bart are.
26:08Damn straight.
26:10But Tony did
26:11make one valid
26:13point.
26:15If we don't
26:16play our cards
26:16right, we really
26:18could lose
26:18everything.
26:20That's not
26:20going to happen.
26:21Not as long
26:22as we stick
26:22together.
26:29Well, what a
26:30lovely surprise.
26:32Hi.
26:33Hi.
26:39Are you still
26:40under the weather
26:40from last night?
26:42Uh, no.
26:42Um, would it
26:44be okay if I
26:44crashed here
26:45tonight?
26:46Well, of
26:46course.
26:47This is your
26:47home.
26:48Does it have
26:49anything to do
26:50with the fire?
26:52No, it's just
26:52grandma, everything's
26:55ruined.
26:57Oh, honey.
27:07So you think
27:08that someone just
27:09made up this
27:10story about
27:11Holly and
27:11Johnny just to
27:12hurt her?
27:13No, I think
27:14that Holly just
27:14made a stupid
27:15mistake and
27:15everyone else
27:16has the wrong
27:17idea.
27:18What are you
27:18talking about?
27:23When Holly was
27:24blackout drunk,
27:25she, she sent
27:28pictures to
27:28Johnny, suggestive
27:30ones.
27:31What?
27:32It was a total
27:32accident, Tate.
27:34She actually thinks
27:34that she meant to
27:35send them to you.
27:36Why would she send
27:38them to me?
27:38Oh my God, are you
27:39really that dense?
27:41She is still in love
27:42with you, but
27:43you're the one who
27:44keeps screwing
27:44things up.
27:48I told myself that
27:50this was impossible
27:51and how could it be?
27:53I...
27:54So, who is Tessaro's
28:00father?
28:03That's none of your
28:04business.
28:05You're right, it's
28:05not.
28:07But it is Tate's.
28:10He is torturing
28:12himself over not
28:14getting to meet
28:15that baby.
28:16And he deserves to
28:17know that it was
28:18never his to begin
28:19with.
28:20What's done is
28:20done.
28:21Telling him that
28:23now, it's not
28:23going to solve
28:24anything.
28:24Sophia, listen
28:26to me.
28:28Look at me.
28:30I have been
28:31where you are
28:33right now.
28:35Okay?
28:35I know
28:36what it's like
28:39to feel that you
28:40have to hide
28:41your child's
28:41paternity.
28:44You're convincing
28:44yourself that you
28:45are doing a sane
28:46and rational
28:47thing.
28:49But in reality,
28:50you are spiraling.
28:54And no matter
28:56what you tell
28:56yourself, a secret
28:59like that, it
29:03won't stay hidden
29:05forever.
29:07The truth, it
29:08always comes out
29:09in the end.
29:14Well?
29:15Out with Tate.
29:16Who do you think
29:16is behind all this?
29:18Okay, do you
29:18remember when you
29:19met me outside the
29:20pub yesterday?
29:20Sophia was there.
29:21Yeah, yeah, and
29:22then she left?
29:22Yeah, well, I ran
29:23into her again last
29:25night in the town
29:25square when I was
29:26returning the crib.
29:27She asked about the
29:28adoption, but I never
29:29told her it was baby
29:30T.
29:31But she could have
29:32heard us talking
29:33about it outside of
29:34the pub.
29:35And we already know
29:37and we already know how
29:37she feels about us
29:38after I backed out of
29:39adopting her baby.
29:40Mm-hmm.
29:41She hates us
29:42and she hates
29:44Holly.
29:46Oh, my God.
29:48Could Sophia really be
29:50the one setting us all
29:51up?
29:51Sticking together, huh?
30:06Well, I'm not sure I
30:07deserve that after
30:07everything I did, but
30:09I promise I will make
30:11it up to you.
30:13You already have.
30:14It's Sarah.
30:15Look, Titan isn't the
30:17only thing I'm trying
30:18to save, and my
30:19marriage is finally
30:20back in a good place
30:21again.
30:22That wouldn't have
30:22been possible if you
30:23told Sarah that I...
30:26Beat me within an inch
30:31of my life?
30:33I mean, I'm not saying
30:35I had it coming, but...
30:39If I were in your shoes,
30:40I probably would have
30:41wanted a pomoie, too.
30:43Wanted to?
30:44Yeah.
30:45I think maybe you
30:46would have had a bit
30:47more self-control than
30:48I did.
30:49This is something I've
30:50got to live with.
30:52Even still, you could
30:54have blown up my spot
30:55when Sarah was grilling
30:56you at Victoria's party.
30:58Instead, you protected
31:01me.
31:03Because as a family does.
31:08And for what it's
31:10worth, I sincerely hope
31:11you and Sarah get back
31:12on track.
31:13But until then, we've got
31:16some work to do.
31:18Restoring titans of
31:19greatness.
31:24Look, I don't need
31:25another lecture telling me
31:27how I royally screwed
31:28things up with Holly.
31:29I know that I did.
31:31Wow.
31:33Wow, Tate Black has
31:34finally become self-aware.
31:36Ari, what else do you
31:37want me to do?
31:38When Holly was in the
31:38hospital, I told her how
31:40much I loved her and that
31:41I couldn't stand the
31:42thought of losing her.
31:42And you know what she
31:43told me?
31:44That I already had.
31:45Can you blame her, Tate?
31:46No, I can't.
31:48Okay?
31:48But if she still loves me
31:50like you just said, then
31:51maybe there's a chance for
31:52us.
31:53You're her best friend, Ari.
31:54Maybe you could just talk
31:55to her.
31:55Look, I wish that I could,
31:56Tate, but I can't.
31:57But you can.
31:58I know.
31:59Maybe you should go.
31:59I need to study.
32:04But I'll tell Holly you
32:05stopped by.
32:17Oh, Holly.
32:18I know.
32:20But you're even more
32:21ashamed of me than you
32:22were last night.
32:23I am never ashamed of
32:24you, my love.
32:25Never.
32:26Yeah, well.
32:27Maybe you should be,
32:28Grandma.
32:30I messed up so badly
32:31that the only thing that
32:32makes sense is leaving
32:33Salem, getting far away
32:35from all of this.
32:36You get that, don't you?
32:39To a point.
32:40I just came from a rather
32:42difficult meeting at Tate.
32:44That might shed a different
32:45light on your decision.
32:47What?
32:47Did one of your executives
32:49send inappropriate photos
32:50to their professor, too?
32:52Okay.
32:53It's not a one-on-one
32:54comparison.
32:55But someone I work with
32:58made a terrible mistake.
33:02And we all became
33:03vulnerable because of it.
33:04All of us.
33:05We tried to mitigate the
33:06damage.
33:08And then another threat
33:09happened.
33:12Well, the only way we saw
33:13a path forward was once
33:15we realized the best way
33:17to face things was head
33:18gone instead of running
33:21away.
33:23Is that what you think
33:25I'm doing by moving to
33:26Paris?
33:27Running away?
33:29Well, of course not.
33:31But, you know,
33:32if you wanted to stay,
33:34I think you could weather
33:38the storm.
33:39No matter how bleak it
33:41seems right now.
33:42I'm not really sure
33:44that I am.
33:45Well, I'm sure enough
33:46for the both of us.
33:48Yeah.
33:53That means a lot to me.
33:56It does, but
33:57this isn't even
33:59about running away.
34:01Look, I've just...
34:03I've been in this
34:04crazy cycle with Tate
34:05and I've been
34:06partying too much.
34:07I've been obsessing
34:08over guys that are
34:09just so wrong for me.
34:10I need it to end.
34:12I need a fresh start
34:13and I can't do that
34:14here.
34:15I understand.
34:18I wish I didn't
34:19know.
34:21Because I'm going to
34:23miss you so very much.
34:25I'm going to miss you
34:26too.
34:27Thank you for
34:28everything.
34:30I love you.
34:31I love you more.
34:40Look, I don't know
34:42how to make sense
34:43of it either,
34:44but Sophia being
34:45the one behind
34:46those texts,
34:47it makes the most
34:48sense.
34:49I mean, she's
34:49friends with Ari,
34:51so she'd have easy
34:52access into Holly's
34:53room.
34:54Yeah, but that
34:54doesn't explain the
34:55letter that was sent
34:56to social services
34:57from someone claiming
34:58to be Tesoro's
34:59mother.
34:59The letter was
35:00anonymous.
35:02It could have been
35:02her just pretending
35:05to be the mother
35:06to sabotage our
35:07chances.
35:07Unless she,
35:10unless she really
35:12is Tesoro's
35:13mother.
35:14What?
35:15No, no,
35:16that's not possible.
35:17She was still
35:17pregnant when the
35:18baby was left at
35:19the fire.
35:19I know.
35:20Look, I don't
35:20know how to
35:20explain it,
35:22but if we just
35:23accept the idea
35:24that Sophia is
35:27Tesoro's mother,
35:28doesn't everything
35:28else make sense?
35:30It does.
35:33I got it.
35:34Yeah, it does.
35:35And if she's
35:37capable of,
35:38of setting us
35:40up like this,
35:42sabotaging us,
35:44God knows what
35:45else she's capable
35:46of.
35:48Yeah.
35:49Yeah.
35:50And if, if
35:51everything that
35:51you're saying is
35:52true, then that
35:54means that Tesoro
35:57is the baby that
35:59we were planning
36:01to adopt the
36:01first time.
36:03Yeah.
36:03Sophia, it
36:07would be a lot
36:08easier for you
36:09if you just got
36:10ahead of this
36:10thing.
36:11Come clean.
36:16Run another
36:17test.
36:19I'm sorry?
36:20Run another
36:21DNA test.
36:22I'll even give
36:22you a sample of
36:23my hair right
36:23now, but run
36:25it.
36:26Your main
36:27concern is that
36:27Tesoro is safe,
36:28right?
36:29Yeah, but so
36:30then once we prove
36:31that he's my
36:32baby, you will
36:32have no reason
36:33to continue
36:34harassing me,
36:35and then we
36:35can all just
36:36move on.
36:38And then
36:39what?
36:40Hmm?
36:42We keep letting
36:43Brady and Tate
36:43torture themselves
36:44like this?
36:48Don't get over
36:49it.
36:49Eventually.
36:51That is magical
36:53thinking, Sophia.
36:56Tate and Brady
36:57are not going
36:58to stop digging
36:59until they find
37:00answers about
37:01what happened
37:02to your baby.
37:05Wouldn't it be
37:06better if those
37:07answers came
37:07from you?
37:13I'm sorry,
37:14Dr. Kiriakis.
37:15I can't do it.
37:17I can't tell Tate
37:18that the baby
37:19isn't his.
37:21And neither
37:22can you.
37:22I can't do it.
37:24I can't do it.
37:26I can't do it.
37:26I can't do it.
