00:00Well, Rachel certainly couldn't get away from you fast enough.
00:06Well, clearly she's uncomfortable around me, and she doesn't quite understand why.
00:12And how long do you think that will last?
00:14Do you think she will ever remember that she shot me?
00:20You know, those memories are buried deep in her subconscious.
00:25So it's impossible to know when or why they might be recovering.
00:30Well, this is an unlikely pair.
00:35What are you two talking about?
00:46Not very talkative today.
00:48Oh, well, our little girl went hard in the playground. She's exhausted.
00:53I meant you.
00:55Oh.
00:55Yeah, sorry. I've been trying to figure out how to tell you something.
01:01Does it have to do with that big meeting you had with Tony, you and Philip and my mom?
01:08Well, we managed to reach an agreement with the mayor to settle the lawsuit, but...
01:14I'm afraid the outcome might not be too positive for you and Victoria.
01:18Hey, Uncle Tony.
01:36Dear, my boy, I have excellent news.
01:42What is it?
01:44Well, as of last night, Dimera Enterprises is back in family hands.
01:49That is good news.
01:54Congratulations.
01:56And you know what that means, don't you?
01:58That your offer for me to come work for Dimera Enterprises is now official.
02:03Yes, so, you've had enough time to think about it, so what is your decision?
02:10Yes.
02:12Yes, I will accept your offer.
02:14Great.
02:15So, um, why don't you come out of the house, we'll seal the deal, and we'll celebrate.
02:21All right.
02:22I'll see you soon.
02:26Well, Dad, that sounded positive.
02:29It was.
02:34I'm glad you're here.
02:35There's something I need to tell you.
02:49Someone is in a good mood.
02:51I'm in a delightful mood.
02:54Well, I got your text.
02:57Did something happen with the lawsuit?
02:58Something momentous.
03:00The brothers Kyriakos and their stepmother, Maggie, have agreed to hand over Dimera.
03:06I knew it.
03:07What about Titan?
03:08Well, they'll be controlling Titan such as it is.
03:13But this is unequivocally a win.
03:17Hmm.
03:18You see?
03:19I told you, if you box Xander and Philip into a corner, they play ball.
03:24So, what are the next steps?
03:27Well, it'll take a minute for the lawyers to complete the process of separating the companies.
03:33Mm-hmm.
03:33And then Dimera will be back where it belongs.
03:39With us.
03:40Mm-hmm.
03:41So, when are we going to tell the world that I'm in charge of Dimera Enterprises?
03:47Why would I tell them that when that's never going to happen?
03:51Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.
04:06Is anyone going to answer me, or?
04:20I was just asking your mother how my niece Rachel was doing.
04:24I see.
04:25Sorry I'm late.
04:26I got stuck in a meeting.
04:28That's all right.
04:29Everybody understands how busy a DA's schedule can be.
04:33As do I.
04:34I remember that well.
04:35Is there anything else?
04:37Oh!
04:38Oh, would you look at that?
04:41It's my boy, Elvis, and two of my absolutely positively favorite people.
04:46Hello, mother.
04:47Oh, mwah.
04:48How are you, Susan?
04:49Oh, well, I'm good, but it's really nice seeing you, Dr. Marlene Evans.
04:54Oh, and you too, Miss Bellblank.
04:56Nice to see you, Susan.
04:57Well, I have to say, you are looking a heap better than the last time I saw you.
05:01I mean, you put on a good scare in me.
05:05Let me tell you.
05:06What?
05:07What is she talking about?
05:08Oh, well, your mama didn't mention it.
05:10Oh, it was during that awful blackout, and I just popped over to your mama's townhouse,
05:16and I needed some place to go.
05:18Well, she confided in me that she flumpaced out right before I got there.
05:24What?
05:29Why would the deal that you made with Tony hurt me and Victoria?
05:32Because, as Tony was only too happy to point out,
05:37once the mayor of Enterprises is torn away from Titan,
05:40we'll be left in a very precarious position,
05:43cash poor with a severely damaged reputation.
05:46I'm sure Tony accusing you as a fraud didn't help.
05:48It most certainly did not.
05:50We were just trying to prove that we could thrive as a company without my father,
05:53and then that just raised some serious questions.
05:58But you'll weather the storm, right?
06:01I mean, Titan has been through hard times before and come out on the other side.
06:06We hope so.
06:08But not without sacrifice.
06:10Philip and your mom and I, we...
06:12We've agreed to contribute our personal assets in an effort to save the company,
06:18but if something goes wrong, we could lose everything.
06:25What the hell?
06:26We have an ironclad contract clearly stating
06:29that once I help you regain control of DiMera Enterprises,
06:32I am to be named its CEO.
06:35Hmm.
06:35Well, perhaps you're forgetting that the contract of which you speak
06:38contains an equally ironclad morals clause.
06:43So what?
06:45All contracts have those.
06:47And I did not violate any morals clause.
06:50But you did.
06:52When you went on the witness stand during Johnny's trial,
06:56you admitted you came here with a gun.
06:58When my brother was shot.
07:01I didn't shoot E.J.
07:04Ah.
07:05But you wanted to.
07:07So what?
07:08Gabriela,
07:11do you really think you should threaten a member of my family
07:16and still take the reins of the very company that bears our name?
07:22Actions have consequences, my dear.
07:27Dad, uh...
07:29just accepted a job.
07:33In Salem?
07:35In Salem.
07:36So, does that mean that you'll be moving back here full-time?
07:41That's the plan.
07:43Ha ha ha ha!
07:45Oh, that is fantastic news.
07:47So, uh, tell me about this job.
07:49Where will you be working?
07:52I'll be working, uh...
07:55at DiMera Enterprises.
07:58Oh, no.
08:00No.
08:01You most certainly will not.
08:03Xander, my mom already told me
08:17about the sacrifices you're all making
08:19to save the company.
08:20Oh?
08:21And?
08:22And I'm totally on board.
08:25Really?
08:26Yeah.
08:28I have complete faith in you and my mom.
08:30And Philip.
08:34I think with all of you working together,
08:38you are going to do what it takes to...
08:41bring Titan back from the brink.
08:45You have no idea how much that means to me.
08:47And I realize that I should have talked to you about this first,
08:49but we're against really pressing deadlines.
08:52Are you not obligated to run your business decisions by me?
08:55Right, but these decisions affect our daughter.
08:57It's not just my future we're talking about.
08:59Xander, Victoria's going to be fine.
09:04She doesn't need to be the heir to some massive fortune.
09:08I am more than capable of providing for her future
09:12on a doctor's salary.
09:15Of course.
09:17And look, speaking of the future,
09:20the Titan isn't the only thing
09:21that I'm hoping to bring back from the brink.
09:25Huh?
09:25I'm also willing to sacrifice to save our marriage.
09:36Damn it.
09:38Theo,
09:39you know how I feel about this.
09:41I know exactly what you're thinking,
09:43but it's not Nono's company anymore.
09:46Yeah.
09:47Xander and Philip Cariacus,
09:48which is almost as bad.
09:50Dad, just, just listen.
09:52Okay?
09:54I won't be working for Xander and Philip.
09:57That was Uncle Tony on the phone just now.
09:59He brokered a deal
10:00to get the company back for our family.
10:02So DiMera
10:05is going back to the DiMera's.
10:09Yes.
10:11And Uncle Tony,
10:11he's putting together a leadership team
10:13to take the company in a new direction.
10:15He wants to do good things with DiMera Enterprises.
10:19And he wants me
10:20to help lead the way.
10:22Okay.
10:27You can't do this to me.
10:28It's already done.
10:32Damn it, Tony!
10:33I helped you make this happen.
10:35I fed you inside info.
10:37You have DiMera back because of me.
10:40And I appreciate your contribution.
10:42But you're not family.
10:43No matter how many of my brothers you've vetted.
10:46How dare you.
10:48Just stating a fact.
10:51Well, here's a fact for you.
10:55You don't want me to run DiMera?
10:57Fine.
10:58I'll end up owning the whole damn company
11:00and sue your deceitful ass into bankruptcy.
11:04You're calling me deceitful?
11:06Oh, that's rich.
11:08Yeah.
11:08I'll see if you're laughing
11:09when my lawyer exposes you
11:10for the double-dealing sink that you are.
11:13And how do you plan on doing that?
11:16By admitting in open court
11:17that you've committed
11:19corporate espionage a titan?
11:21You realize that's a felony.
11:26I spied on Xander and Philip to help you,
11:29you son of a bitch.
11:30I risked everything to get proof of Philip's fraud.
11:37Let's not pretend
11:38that this was out of an act of generosity.
11:41You did it to help yourself.
11:45Now, believe it or not,
11:46I appreciate your efforts.
11:48That is why
11:49I'm going to offer you a consolation prize.
11:51You fainted again?
11:56Why didn't you say something?
11:58I should have kept that being where I should.
12:00No, really, Mom.
12:01Why didn't you tell me?
12:02It was very brief.
12:04I've been completely checked out.
12:06I am fine.
12:07There's nothing to worry about.
12:08Well, I am worried.
12:10This has been going on way too long.
12:12I agree.
12:13Since Elvis now owns the hospital,
12:16maybe you can get a good doctor
12:17to help your mama find out
12:19what the heck is going on with her.
12:21Mother, perhaps we should allow
12:23Marlena and Belle to discuss this in private.
12:26There is nothing to discuss.
12:29I've been a little run down lately.
12:31That's wrong.
12:33I've had every medical test known to man.
12:36Darling, I'm perfectly fine, okay?
12:38I checked out just fine.
12:40Where are you going?
12:41I've got a private therapy session
12:44in about 20 minutes.
12:46I thought we were having lunch.
12:47Okay, you know what?
12:48We will reschedule that, okay?
12:50And then I'll see you at home very soon.
12:53Okay.
12:55E.J.?
12:56Mm-hmm.
12:57Susan?
12:57Marlena?
12:58Here, take care, Dr. Marlena Evans.
13:00Mom, you cannot run away from this.
13:11There's nothing I want more than to rebuild our marriage.
13:20And I am so proud of you.
13:24And I'm grateful that you're willing to do couples therapy with Marlena.
13:29Well, as I said, I'm willing to do whatever it takes to put our family back together.
13:37That's all I ask.
13:41Let's get Victoria home and go to Marlena's.
13:44Me and my big old trap.
13:56I just hope that your mama isn't cross with me.
13:59Oh, I'm sure it's fine.
14:00And you know what?
14:01I'm so glad you told me, Susan.
14:03Oh, I'm just worried about your mama as you are, Belle.
14:07I just don't know what I'd do if something happened to her.
14:10You're a really good friend to her.
14:12It's very nice seeing you again.
14:13Oh, you too, sugar breaches.
14:15Uh, Belle, wait.
14:17Since your lunch date had to abandon you, you're welcome to break bread with Mother and me.
14:23I'll pass.
14:25Oh!
14:27Mr. Roman Brady forget to pay the heating bill,
14:30or did it just get downright frosty in here, hmm?
14:38Consolation prize?
14:39How about I tell you where to shove your consolation prize?
14:42Oh, no, no.
14:43Don't you even want to hear what I have to offer?
14:48Let me guess.
14:50A set of steak knives?
14:53Oh, Debbie.
14:54That's my feelings that you think so little of me.
15:00Accept my decision.
15:03Walk away from DiMera gracefully,
15:06and you can take Gabby Sheik along with you.
15:12What?
15:13What?
15:14You're offering me Gabby Sheik?
15:18Free and clear.
15:20It's what you've always wanted, wasn't it?
15:23Theo.
15:29Theo.
15:32Theo.
15:35Look, you are,
15:37you are without a doubt,
15:41the smartest person I know.
15:43But when it comes to your mother's family,
15:48are you really quite naive?
15:51They're my family, too.
15:54Look, I get it.
15:56No-no did horrible things.
15:58EJ and Kristen,
15:59they had their share, too.
16:01But Chad is different.
16:04He's a really good guy.
16:05And, well, Uncle Tony,
16:08he's definitely less morally dubious
16:12than EJ and Kristen.
16:14That bar is really, really low on you.
16:18I want this.
16:20Okay?
16:23I'm no longer the kid
16:24who wants to go to the big house
16:26and play chess.
16:27I'm a grown man,
16:28and I'm more than capable
16:30of making my own decisions
16:31on where I want to work.
16:33And you're just
16:34going to have
16:37to accept that.
16:41Theo.
16:42Theo.
16:42Theo.
16:42I got a hankering for peanut butter
17:07and bacon sandwich.
17:09You think that can make
17:11the A for me here?
17:13Oh, I think they'll make
17:14just about anything
17:15while trying not to gag.
17:18Sean, stop being such a snob.
17:20You know what?
17:21It's okay to enjoy
17:22the simple pleasures, Elvis.
17:26Hey.
17:28Like a walk in the park.
17:30Peanut butter and bacon.
17:32And a whole sheet of those
17:36bubble wraps.
17:38Whoa.
17:41Johnny's texting you.
17:44Uh-huh.
17:46Well, what does he have to say?
17:49Oh, he just wanted to thank me.
17:50I promised I would pray
17:58to the good Lord above
18:00that he and Chanel
18:01would get this
18:03mess with the adoption
18:05straightened out.
18:06Whoa, whoa, whoa.
18:07What kind of mess?
18:09Oh, there I go
18:11yap, yap, yapping again.
18:13Mother,
18:14what's going on
18:15with John Rowland?
18:16Oh,
18:17you know,
18:18my grandbaby boy
18:20wanted you to know
18:21he would have told you
18:22himself.
18:23I just want to help
18:24if I can.
18:25Yes,
18:26but the last time
18:27you tried to help,
18:28you blew your
18:29relationship up
18:31with your son
18:32like a
18:33balloon filled
18:34with kerosene.
18:36Yes,
18:37I know.
18:38I admit
18:39I went a bit too far.
18:41Yeah.
18:44Oh, John.
18:46It's not your fault
18:50and I know
18:50you can't help it.
18:51I mean,
18:52you are your daddy's
18:53offspring after all.
18:56But hey,
18:57you're also mine,
18:59which means
19:01you can learn
19:03from your mistakes.
19:05I truly am
19:07trying to make
19:08things right,
19:09my Johnny.
19:09Oh, honey,
19:10I know you are
19:11and you will
19:13someday.
19:14it is
19:15I have to be patient.
19:18Yes,
19:19well,
19:19I think we both
19:20know that
19:21patience
19:22is not my straws.
19:26Abe.
19:33Hi.
19:34Hello.
19:35I'm glad I ran
19:36into you.
19:37Listen,
19:37I owe you a call
19:38about that
19:39man you were
19:40assigned to
19:40tutor for the
19:40literacy project.
19:42Yes.
19:44Look,
19:44if you don't mind,
19:45can we talk about
19:46this a little later?
19:47Yeah.
19:48Hey,
19:48is something wrong?
19:49I just had a
19:57pretty intense
19:58conversation
19:59with my son.
20:00Oh,
20:01what was it about?
20:04I am afraid
20:05Theo has made
20:08a pact
20:11with the devil.
20:14Think about it,
20:15Gabby.
20:15you can own
20:17and operate
20:17the luxury
20:18brand you
20:19founded
20:19and you can
20:21run it
20:22just as you
20:23please.
20:27Tempting offer?
20:30Well,
20:31when you think
20:32of the alternative,
20:33which would be
20:34to be exposing
20:34all your misdeeds
20:35in an open court
20:36and then you'd
20:37end up with
20:38nothing.
20:38So it's you,
20:42isn't it?
20:44Excuse me?
20:46The new CEO
20:47of DiMera.
20:48You're installing
20:48yourself.
20:50Oh,
20:50no.
20:52Actually,
20:52I thought about
20:54somebody else.
20:56Someone qualified
20:57to lead this
20:57company into a
20:58new and exciting
20:59future.
21:01Who the hell
21:02is it?
21:04Oh,
21:05Theo.
21:07Just in time.
21:09Gabby,
21:10why don't you
21:11offer your
21:11well wishes
21:12to the next
21:13CEO of DiMera
21:14Enterprises?
21:16My late
21:17sister Lexi,
21:18it's her
21:19beloved son,
21:20a DiMera
21:21scion by blood,
21:23Theo Carver.
21:33I'm glad
21:34you're both
21:34here.
21:36Shall we?
21:38McKinn,
21:39how are you
21:40feeling?
21:42Oh,
21:43I'm feeling
21:44fine.
21:47I know
21:48about Brady.
21:50Tate,
21:51you know
21:51that Tate
21:53isn't the
21:53father of
21:54Sophia's baby.
21:54I do
21:57know that
21:58now.
21:59It's hard
22:00to believe
22:00that she
22:00would lie
22:01about
22:01something for
22:02so long,
22:02something that
22:03life-altering.
22:06Yes,
22:07hard to believe.
22:09this was
22:19your plan
22:20from the
22:20start,
22:21wasn't it?
22:22String me
22:22along,
22:23get me to
22:23help you
22:23to take
22:24down Titan,
22:24then toss
22:25me aside
22:25and install
22:26a blood
22:27DiMera.
22:27Hmm.
22:27Is that
22:30true,
22:30Uncle Tony?
22:32You
22:32offered the
22:32position to
22:33Gabby first?
22:36Well,
22:37Gabby and
22:37I did have
22:38an agreement.
22:39We had a
22:39contract.
22:40Huh.
22:41Yes,
22:41but
22:41circumstances
22:43caused me
22:43to reconsider.
22:46You can't
22:47be serious,
22:48Tony.
22:48He's,
22:48he's...
22:49Autistic?
22:51Hmm?
22:53Is that
22:54what you
22:54were going
22:54to say?
22:55I've
23:03been in
23:03Sophia's
23:04shoes.
23:05Pregnant
23:06and scared.
23:08When you're
23:08desperate like
23:09that,
23:09the decisions
23:10that you
23:10make aren't
23:11always in
23:11your own
23:11best interest.
23:14That's
23:14very true.
23:16And,
23:17for what it's
23:18worth it,
23:19she did seem
23:19genuinely shocked
23:20that Tate
23:21wasn't the
23:21father.
23:22And I am
23:23in no position
23:24to throw
23:24stones.
23:25Nor am I.
23:29But I think
23:30we all
23:30understand that
23:31when you
23:33keep a secret
23:34like that,
23:35truth does
23:35tend to come
23:36out.
23:38That's for
23:39sure.
23:44You know,
23:45Lexi and I,
23:47well,
23:48we were
23:49determined
23:49to keep
23:50Theo away
23:50from
23:51DiMera
23:52Enterprises.
23:53Yeah.
23:53Can't say
23:54blame you.
23:56But now I
23:57just,
23:57I just feel
24:00like I'm
24:00failing her.
24:02Are you
24:03kidding me?
24:04You have
24:05done an
24:05amazing job
24:06with Theo.
24:07He is a
24:08wonderful,
24:09caring young
24:10man.
24:12He's caring,
24:13yes,
24:13but he was
24:15too trusting.
24:15And that's
24:17why he gets
24:17taken advantage
24:18of.
24:21Like how
24:21my daughter
24:22broke his
24:22heart.
24:23If I really
24:23hate how she
24:24hurt him
24:25like that.
24:25You know,
24:26Claire's an
24:26adult and you
24:28are not
24:28responsible for
24:29your daughter's
24:29actions,
24:30just like I'm
24:31not responsible
24:32for my
24:32son's.
24:33Yeah,
24:33well,
24:34can't help
24:34but feel
24:35guilty though,
24:35right?
24:36I mean,
24:36we do
24:37everything we
24:37can to
24:38teach them
24:39and protect
24:39them.
24:41Well,
24:41I know you
24:42had your
24:42misgivings
24:43about Claire
24:43from the
24:44beginning.
24:45No,
24:46I got it
24:46over there.
24:48In fact,
24:48I was hoping
24:49that they
24:49were going to
24:50work things
24:51out between
24:52and John
24:54and I,
24:54we used to
24:55fantasize that
24:56we'd finally
24:57be able to
24:58officially call
24:59ourselves family.
25:02Well,
25:03my dad would
25:03have loved
25:04that.
25:05I would
25:05too.
25:07Well,
25:08now I wish
25:09that he hadn't
25:11broken up with
25:11Claire for
25:12another reason.
25:14So he
25:14wouldn't get
25:15mixed up in
25:16whatever his
25:18uncle Tony
25:19is lying.
25:22I didn't
25:28say that
25:28about you,
25:29CEO.
25:29No.
25:31But you
25:31were thinking
25:32it.
25:33I'm not
25:34qualified enough
25:35to run to
25:35Mira because
25:36of the way
25:36my brain
25:37is wired.
25:39Hmm.
25:40Well,
25:41just so you
25:42know,
25:42many prominent
25:43CEOs
25:44are neurodivergent.
25:46Richard Branson,
25:47Bill Gates,
25:48Satoshi Tajiri.
25:49Okay.
25:50Okay.
25:51Yeah,
25:51I get it.
25:52You may be
25:53some Mensa
25:54certified genius,
25:55but what
25:56about experience?
25:58You've never
25:59fronted a
26:01multinational
26:01corporation
26:02like this,
26:03I assume.
26:04Theo built
26:05and ran
26:06his own
26:06successful
26:07company.
26:09That's hardly
26:10on the same
26:10scale.
26:11Well,
26:13that's why
26:13he has one
26:14of the best
26:15mentors in the
26:15world.
26:17Me.
26:18So,
26:19do you want
26:19Gabby Schick
26:20back or not?
26:21Because that is
26:22my best and
26:23final offer,
26:24and I'm beginning
26:24to feel a little
26:25less generous
26:26by the second.
26:28Fine.
26:30I'll take it.
26:31Ah,
26:31that's excellent.
26:33Wonderful doing
26:33business with you,
26:34Gabriela.
26:35So now,
26:36if you'll
26:36excuse me,
26:37I'm going to
26:38make a call
26:38and make the
26:40necessary arrangement.
26:41All right,
26:53let's get
26:54started.
26:56I want you
26:57both to tell me
26:58something that
26:59you love
27:00about your
27:01partner.
27:03I'll go
27:04first.
27:07I,
27:08um,
27:08I,
27:11I love the
27:11way that
27:11Xander loves
27:12me.
27:15Can you
27:15elaborate?
27:18Yeah,
27:19well,
27:19um,
27:20what I mean
27:20is,
27:20is that
27:21I never
27:24have to
27:26wonder where
27:26I stand
27:27with Xander.
27:29I know
27:30that he
27:30loves me,
27:32and not
27:32because
27:33he
27:34tells me,
27:36but also
27:37because he
27:38shows me.
27:41in the way
27:41that he
27:41fights for
27:42us.
27:44And in
27:45his efforts
27:45to be
27:46a good
27:47husband
27:47and
27:48father
27:48and
27:49even in
27:51his mistakes.
27:52I've
27:56never had a
27:56man do
27:57anything
27:57like that.
28:03Xander?
28:05Oh,
28:06um,
28:07I love
28:10the way
28:10Sarah manages
28:11to love
28:12me for
28:12who I
28:13really am.
28:15You know,
28:15I never
28:15really had
28:16to be
28:16accountable
28:16to anyone
28:17or anything
28:18my whole life
28:18before and
28:19before I
28:21knew her.
28:24And her
28:24kind of
28:25love is
28:25terrifying
28:27and inspiring.
28:31Makes me
28:31a better
28:32man
28:32when I
28:34let it.
28:36And it
28:37makes me feel
28:37so hopeful
28:39and so
28:39very grateful.
28:45That's
28:45really good.
28:46Um,
28:48tell me,
28:49what
28:49do each
28:51of you
28:51think you
28:51need to
28:52work on
28:53so that
28:53you can
28:54reaffirm
28:55your commitment?
28:57Trust.
29:00Oh.
29:02All right,
29:02then.
29:04Tell me
29:05what broke
29:05that trust.
29:08I jumped
29:09to conclusions
29:10about Xander.
29:13Based on
29:14past history,
29:14I believed
29:18the worst
29:18about him.
29:20And I
29:21also
29:22withheld
29:23the truth
29:24from him
29:25about...
29:28This is
29:28okay.
29:28I told
29:30Dr. Evans
29:30that you
29:31knew that
29:31Philip's
29:32letter was
29:33forged.
29:37Why didn't
29:38you tell
29:38him the
29:39truth?
29:42I was
29:42scared.
29:44I was
29:46scared
29:46that he
29:46would
29:46react
29:48violently.
29:51Do you
29:52have a
29:52valid
29:54reason for
29:55this
29:55thought?
29:56She does.
29:59But Dr.
30:00Evans,
30:00I'm afraid
30:01that
30:01there's
30:03something
30:03I have to
30:04confess
30:04to.
30:04him.
30:05I hate to
30:18see you and
30:18Theo at
30:19odds like
30:19this.
30:20I hope you
30:21two find a
30:21way to
30:21figure this
30:22out.
30:25Well,
30:26it's nothing
30:27to figure out.
30:29Theo
30:29reminds me
30:31that he's
30:32now grown
30:33mad,
30:33so I
30:35don't have
30:36a say in
30:36the choices
30:37he makes.
30:38Yeah,
30:38it's tough
30:39with adult
30:40children,
30:40isn't it?
30:41They might
30:41be old
30:42enough to
30:42break hearts
30:44and make
30:44decisions we
30:45don't like,
30:45but...
30:47And no
30:47matter how
30:48old they
30:48get,
30:48we will
30:49not stop
30:50worrying
30:50about them.
30:51That's for
30:52sure.
30:54You know,
30:55I think Theo
30:56will do
30:56what's right
30:57for himself.
30:58He's got a
30:58really good
30:59head
30:59on his
30:59shoulders.
31:01We'd
31:02better start
31:02using it
31:03before it
31:04gets too
31:05late.
31:10Going
31:10somewhere?
31:11Oh,
31:13I told you
31:13that Anna
31:14and I
31:14were taking
31:14a cruise
31:15to Monte
31:15Carlo.
31:16Oh,
31:17I assumed
31:17you'd be
31:17cancelling
31:18now that
31:18you've
31:19regained
31:19control
31:19of the
31:19mirror.
31:21No,
31:22um,
31:23the trip
31:23will be
31:23a working
31:24one,
31:24much to
31:25Anna's
31:25chagrin.
31:26I would
31:26imagine,
31:27but don't
31:27you need
31:27to show
31:28your face
31:28in the
31:28office
31:28now that
31:29you're
31:29going to
31:29be the
31:29man in
31:30charge?
31:31Well,
31:31as a
31:32matter
31:32of
31:32fact,
31:32I'm
31:33only
31:33going
31:34to
31:34be
31:34the
31:34man
31:34behind
31:35the
31:35man
31:35in
31:35charge.
31:36I'm
31:36sorry?
31:37Well,
31:38I've
31:38decided it's
31:39time to
31:39hand the
31:40reins to
31:41the
31:41next
31:41generation.
31:44You're
31:44going to
31:44put Johnny
31:45in charge
31:45of the
31:45company?
31:47Johnny?
31:47Uh,
31:49well,
31:49no offense,
31:50but the way
31:51your son jumps
31:51from career
31:52to career,
31:53no,
31:53he wasn't
31:53even in
31:54the
31:54running.
31:55Then
31:55who?
31:56the idea
31:58never
31:59you feel.
32:01He just
32:01accepted
32:01just moments
32:02ago.
32:06Look,
32:07Theo,
32:08I
32:09stand by
32:10what I
32:10said about
32:10you not
32:11being the
32:11right choice
32:12for CEO
32:13of
32:13Demera.
32:13but not
32:14because
32:15you're
32:15neurodivergent.
32:17So,
32:18what's
32:19your
32:19objection?
32:21Well,
32:22like I
32:23just said,
32:24it's your
32:25lack of
32:25experience.
32:27Hmm.
32:28Well,
32:29maybe that's
32:29a benefit.
32:31Just about
32:32everybody
32:33else that
32:34had their
32:34hand at
32:35this job
32:36failed at it.
32:39You're
32:39saying I
32:39failed?
32:40I'm
32:42saying don't
32:43be surprised
32:44if I
32:45surprised
32:45you.
32:47I'm
32:48used to
32:48being
32:49underestimated.
32:53Well,
32:54I really
32:55do apologize
32:56for insulting
32:56you.
33:01I'm
33:02used to
33:02that,
33:02too.
33:03And I'm
33:04sorry
33:04how my
33:04Uncle
33:05Tony
33:05handled
33:05this.
33:06I had
33:06no idea
33:06that he
33:06offered
33:07you the
33:07job.
33:09Oh.
33:09I
33:10thought
33:10Tony
33:11was
33:11the
33:11only
33:12DiMera
33:12with
33:12a
33:13modicum
33:13of
33:14integrity.
33:15Obviously,
33:15I was
33:15wrong.
33:16Well,
33:16not the
33:17boast,
33:17but I
33:18do have
33:18integrity.
33:20Not
33:21just
33:21a
33:21modicum.
33:24I
33:24actually
33:24believe
33:25that.
33:25Mm-hmm.
33:27You
33:28sure you
33:28can
33:28trust
33:28Tony?
33:33Don't
33:33worry
33:33about
33:33me.
33:35Didn't
33:35handle
33:36myself.
33:39go on,
33:42Sander.
33:46Okay.
33:47Um.
33:51Back
33:51when I
33:52believed
33:53that
33:53Brady
33:54was the
33:55one
33:55that
33:55was
33:55responsible
33:56for
33:57Sarah's
33:59accident,
33:59I really
33:59wanted him
34:00to pay.
34:02So
34:03I
34:04broke
34:06into your
34:06home
34:06and went
34:08to his
34:08room
34:08with the
34:10intention
34:10of causing
34:10him harm.
34:12Mm-hmm.
34:16You
34:16were aware
34:17of this?
34:19I
34:19was.
34:22Does
34:22Brady
34:23know?
34:24Oh,
34:24he knows.
34:25But I
34:25felt that I
34:26owed you
34:27the truth.
34:29And look,
34:29I understand
34:30that this
34:30means that
34:30you would
34:31no longer
34:31want to
34:32cancel
34:32me.
34:33Okay.
34:37Look,
34:37I'm very
34:38glad that
34:38you didn't
34:38follow through
34:39with what
34:41you planned
34:41to do.
34:45And I
34:45did tell
34:45you that
34:46I wanted
34:46to help
34:46you.
34:49I told
34:49you that
34:50I'm not
34:50giving up
34:50on you.
34:53And I'm
34:53not.
34:55As long
34:56as you
34:56don't give
34:56up on
34:57yourself.
34:58Oh,
34:58I'm not
34:58giving up.
35:00Not
35:00on myself,
35:01not on
35:01my family.
35:03Not
35:04even close.
35:06good.
35:11I'm
35:12afraid
35:12our
35:12time
35:13is
35:13up.
35:15You've
35:16done a lot
35:16of really
35:16good work
35:17today.
