00:00Well, well, well. If it isn't the walking, talking headline, E.J. DeMira himself.
00:06Leo.
00:07Yet another serendipitous run-in.
00:09It's almost as if the universe is saying...
00:12Actually, I don't know what the universe is saying.
00:14I feel like I've had something of a one-sided relationship with the universe.
00:17I'm constantly trying to figure out what it wants from me. It's never really clear.
00:21Well, I'm no shrink.
00:23But my advice would be to stay in your lane a bit more. Mind your own damn business.
00:27Speaking of staying, or rather, not staying in my lane,
00:32I would very much like a tour of the new free clinic you're constructing.
00:35Check out the decor, the ambiance, make sure it's free to people's spirits.
00:39Didn't you get a self-guided one when you oh-so-heroically busted Ms. Rizczak out of the storage room?
00:45Oh, that? Well, that was just a quick and hasty one, as it were.
00:49I was thinking something more in-depth.
00:51Besides, the fine citizens of Salem would love to know how their hard-earned tax dollars are being spent.
00:55Yes, well, I don't think we're quite ready to give you an in-depth tour at the moment, Mr. Stark.
01:01But feel free to crowd in for a look-see when everyone else does.
01:06That's fine. No, it actually works for me.
01:10Rejection is my mental cardio. It keeps my mind razor-focused.
01:13Are you playing a game on your phone?
01:24Hey, bud.
01:25No, I'm not playing a game.
01:27I'm, um, working on a dating profile.
01:31Figuring out how to describe myself, finding the right pictures.
01:35Pictures of what? Like your car?
01:38It's, uh, pictures of myself.
01:39Oh, right.
01:42I figured since I'm staying in Salem for a while, I'd try to meet some people.
01:47You mean a girl.
01:54So?
01:56What do we think of my plan to introduce the world to Miss Anastasia Sands?
02:00It's perfect.
02:01Did you text Leo?
02:02Yep.
02:03You'll be here shortly.
02:04Oh, my God.
02:08Alex!
02:10Stephanie!
02:11Julie!
02:12My goodness, Stephanie, you are everywhere these days.
02:18Uh, first the free clinic at Gala, and now Titan.
02:21Oh, just making my rounds.
02:23So I suppose you're doing publicity for the Anastasia Sands new novel?
02:26Yes, I am doing that PR campaign, yes.
02:31And actually, we've decided to put a book signing component in the launch, if that's something that you could accommodate.
02:40Oh, my goodness, that would be absolutely wonderful.
02:43We have plenty of room at the book club, and there'll be a big demand for an autographed first edition.
02:48But how can the authoress do a book signing if Anastasia Sands is anonymous?
02:57Is she going to wear a disguise?
02:59Oh, about that.
03:01She's not going to be anonymous anymore.
03:05Really?
03:07Oh.
03:08Well.
03:09Somebody famous?
03:10Somebody that I might know?
03:12Uh, you do know her, actually.
03:16Very well, in fact.
03:24Anastasia Sands is me.
03:32Well, I'm sorry that we missed Felicity.
03:34Oh, it's completely my fault.
03:36I mean, I told her I was picking you up, and I completely forgot that she has a...
03:39Hey.
03:39...teaching class after work.
03:41It's... it's okay.
03:43I have plenty of time to see her.
03:46Yes, you do.
03:47That is correct.
03:50Actually, I hope I'm not ruining her surprise, but...
03:53Your little sister is making you a big welcome home dinner tonight.
03:58And Aaron's coming by, too.
03:59That's great.
04:03God.
04:04I missed you guys.
04:06More than you know.
04:08And I'm so grateful for your support.
04:09It kept me going.
04:11Okay.
04:13Of course, we missed you, too.
04:15We missed you way too much.
04:17But now that you're here, you're here, you're home.
04:20Time for a first start, right?
04:21Okay.
04:22Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.
04:44Damn.
04:48Why did I just stand there and stare at him?
05:11I should have manned up and apologized to him
05:14or thanked him for not objecting to my release.
05:18It's okay, okay?
05:19There's plenty of time for that, right?
05:22Don't worry about Chad right now.
05:25He's dealing with this in his own way.
05:29So we need to focus on the good things, you know?
05:32What we can actually control.
05:35Your home.
05:37You know, we need to leave the past behind
05:39and, uh, look forward to the future.
05:46How's the burger?
05:47Looks, uh...
05:49Overcooked?
05:50Yeah, that's because it's...
05:52You all right?
05:56I'm fine.
05:57You know, just deal with some stuff.
06:00I assume you heard about, uh...
06:02About young Theo taking a helm over at the mayor?
06:05Bit late with that scoop.
06:07I figured.
06:09We got the time we went out to lunch
06:11and he was, uh, asking about the business.
06:13Wanted to see if I was interested in the position.
06:17Sounds like he was sussing you out.
06:20I knew I had no desire to take it over
06:22and Christian would be fashioning license plates
06:24for 12 cents an hour.
06:26Seems like he was making sure
06:28he wasn't stepping on your toes.
06:30Maybe.
06:31I also think Theo's just being Theo.
06:33You know, doing his due diligence,
06:34seeing if he wanted the job in the first place.
06:36Not like he really had a choice in the better.
06:40Tony flew him halfway around the world
06:42to be in the catbird seat.
06:43I'd hardly suspect he would take no for an answer.
06:46And...
06:48Don't get me wrong.
06:52Theo is a very bright young man.
06:56But if Tony was so eager to skip to the next generation,
06:59why not ask Johnny instead?
07:02I know I'm being biased,
07:04but Johnny lives here in Salem
07:06and already works for Titan the Mirror.
07:08Well, it'll just be Titan soon.
07:14And then Johnny seems like he...
07:15He likes what he's doing over there.
07:17Why pull him away?
07:18Something he doesn't like.
07:19Still, it would have been courteous,
07:21if not respectful,
07:22had Tony asked Johnny.
07:26At least the company's back in the family fold.
07:29Where it belongs.
07:29How are things going between you and Johnny?
07:36I, uh...
07:38I wish I could tell you otherwise,
07:40but there's been no improvement to speak of.
07:43Yeah.
07:46Well, I know what you do.
07:50I...
07:51I just can't get over the fact
07:53that you are Anastasia Sands.
07:55I know it's a bit of a shock.
07:58Well, um...
07:59Speaking as a reader,
08:02let me say,
08:03I thought that in...
08:06One Stormy Night,
08:07the...
08:09risque scenes were very graphic
08:11and beautifully written.
08:16Hey, whether or not
08:17One Stormy Night elists a few blushes,
08:20it's a bestseller.
08:22And now Anastasia's next novel,
08:24Right Out, is poised to be another big hit,
08:26if not even bigger.
08:28Congratulations, dear.
08:29I just can't get over this, but...
08:31Why are you coming out now?
08:33Why are you coming out at all?
08:36Really, I thought some of the mystique,
08:38or the mystery was...
08:39was not knowing who the authoress was.
08:41I... I get it.
08:42And... and that was my plan, initially.
08:44I did not want my two lives to intersect.
08:47Well, what changed?
08:48Well, a busybody reporter
08:53by the name of Leo Stark
08:54found out my secret.
08:56Of course.
08:58That man has a talent
09:00for ruining everything.
09:02What's Vampire Weekend?
09:15Oh, it's a band I like.
09:17I'm hoping that some woman
09:18who may want to date me
09:19likes it, too.
09:21Right.
09:22And, um...
09:23what's...
09:25Bach...
09:26Oh, fachy.
09:27It's like, um...
09:28bowling, but without the pins.
09:31And it's played outside.
09:32Hey,
09:33maybe we can all go play
09:34as a family sometime.
09:36Actually, I think there's a court
09:36over at the park.
09:38That sounds really fun.
09:39I want to put.
09:40We're going.
09:41You know,
09:43I'm glad you're my new teacher.
09:46Even if you told my dad
09:47I didn't do my math homework.
09:50I didn't mean to get you
09:51in trouble, Thomas.
09:52It's just...
09:53I know how smart you are.
09:55I want to see you do your best.
09:58Okay.
10:00Thomas, your dad told me
10:01you're going through
10:02some stuff lately.
10:04Yeah.
10:04Yeah?
10:06You want to talk about it?
10:11The thing is,
10:13we're not going to let
10:14Leo ruin everything.
10:16And to that end,
10:17we have decided
10:18that our best course of action
10:20is to...
10:21well, collaborate with him
10:23to do this reveal
10:24the right way.
10:27That's a choice.
10:29Just so you know, Julie,
10:30we are extremely grateful
10:32that you're even willing
10:33to work with us
10:33on this book launch.
10:34It's my pleasure, Alex,
10:36but...
10:37does that mean that
10:39I have to work
10:42with the insufferable
10:43Leo Stark.
10:52The one and only.
10:55You know, I understand
10:56Chad not wanting
10:57anything to do with me.
10:58I thought you two
10:59had sort of friendship.
11:02Um, yeah, we did.
11:04But then
11:07the friendship
11:09came a little more
11:12than that.
11:13And that just
11:14didn't pan out.
11:18I'm so sorry.
11:21I guess you can imagine why.
11:24Yeah.
11:25Again.
11:28You know, I understand.
11:29Like, I get it.
11:30It was naive of me
11:35to think that
11:36his family could
11:38ever accept me
11:39or us.
11:40You know, after
11:40what we put them through.
11:42It's just, I...
11:43I just started to
11:49get really close
11:50to Chad,
11:51closer than I've ever
11:52been to anybody
11:53in my entire life.
11:55I mean, obviously
11:55not you guys,
11:56but you know what I mean.
11:57I miss him.
12:01I miss him a lot.
12:09Wait, wait, wait.
12:10Let me get this straight.
12:12Rachel told Thomas
12:13that she saw you
12:14kissing Cat
12:15and then took it
12:16a step further
12:16and told him
12:18that Cat
12:19had been masquerading
12:20as his late mother
12:21all because she was
12:22losing in some game.
12:24That's it.
12:25In a nutshell.
12:25Well, it seems
12:27that young Rachel
12:28has inherited
12:30her mother's zeal
12:31for stirring up trouble.
12:33No, she's just a child.
12:35You know,
12:35she apologized
12:36to me, Aunt Thomas.
12:39That isn't May.
12:42She has caused
12:43a problem for you
12:44and your family
12:45over something
12:46that is none
12:47of her damn business.
12:48It's done as Donny, Jay.
12:50I told Thomas
12:50I would fix it
12:51and I will.
12:53Yeah, I mean,
12:54it's still a long road.
12:55for us to rebuild trust,
12:56but...
12:57I'm so sorry
12:59to hear that.
13:01And then
13:01there's Cat.
13:03I know you don't
13:04want to hear this
13:04right now,
13:05but Cat
13:06is quite heartbroken
13:07over the end
13:08of your relationship.
13:13Yeah.
13:15Is that all
13:15you have to say
13:16and why are you
13:17looking at me like that?
13:18because I know you.
13:23And I know you
13:23think you're going
13:24to be there
13:25to pick up the pieces.
13:27Don't do it.
13:28Cat Green is my assistant.
13:39Our relationship
13:40is strictly professional.
13:41Mm-hmm.
13:42Then why'd you take her
13:42out to dinner the other night?
13:43That was a business-related dinner.
13:45Really?
13:46Yes.
13:47And I knew she was with you.
13:49She was at the time, anyway.
13:50And if she were not,
13:52I assure you,
13:53I already have enough
13:53of my plate as it is
13:54without adding romance
13:55to the mix,
13:56especially with my assistant.
13:58What an HR nightmare.
14:00I am not interested
14:02in Cat.
14:03Not in that way.
14:05Okay, fine.
14:08And I am sorry
14:09that things ended
14:10between the two of you
14:11and for what you're
14:12going through with Thomas.
14:15I'm sorry for
14:16what you're going through
14:17with Johnny.
14:18I do hope you guys
14:19resolve it soon.
14:23It's heartbreaking,
14:24isn't it?
14:25Losing the trust
14:26to bond with your children
14:30cuts deep, doesn't it?
14:39Okay.
14:40Okay.
14:41I'm okay.
14:42So what are you going to do
14:43now that you're a free man?
14:45What's your plan?
14:46Well, actually,
14:47my first order of business
14:48is to find a job.
14:51Since my medical license
14:52is suspended
14:53obviously can't work
14:55as a doctor.
14:57So,
14:58what are you thinking?
15:00I did love working
15:02at a university hospital.
15:04If they'd let me,
15:05I'd do intake,
15:07research,
15:08but I doubt Kayla
15:09or anyone
15:10would even consider
15:11the idea.
15:11well,
15:15it might not necessarily
15:16be up to Dr. Johnson.
15:18How could it not be?
15:21Well, she doesn't
15:21own the hospital.
15:23EJ does.
15:24Right.
15:25And I'm sure EJ
15:26is champing at the bit
15:27to hire the guy
15:28who he thinks
15:28wanted to kill
15:29his brother.
15:31Hey, maybe he'll give me
15:31the corner office.
15:33Okay.
15:34You think EJ
15:35is a saint himself?
15:36I talked to Chad.
15:39I told him
15:40what you told me,
15:41how you could never
15:42have actually
15:43pulled the trigger.
15:43It's true.
15:44Yeah.
15:45Okay, so why don't
15:45you talk to EJ
15:46and tell him
15:47the same thing?
15:48I mean,
15:48I was just as culpable
15:49with the Clyde Weston
15:51plan as you were
15:52and he hired me.
15:54You really think
15:55I should talk to him?
15:56I think you have
15:57nothing else to lose.
15:58Thomas,
16:04if there's anything
16:06you want to talk about,
16:07I'm all ears, bud.
16:09And whatever it is,
16:11stays between you and me.
16:17Dad dated a lady
16:18who did really bad things
16:19to our family
16:20that he lied to me about.
16:23I see.
16:25And did your dad
16:25try to explain
16:26why you lied?
16:27Yeah.
16:28But that didn't
16:29make it any better.
16:31You shouldn't have
16:31stated her in the
16:32first place.
16:34Woman
16:34tended to be my mom.
16:37Right.
16:41Well,
16:42that feels a little
16:43better talking about it,
16:44doesn't it?
16:47Since it feels
16:47better talking about it,
16:49why don't you
16:50try that with your dad?
16:52I don't know.
16:55Thomas,
16:56your dad
16:57he's a really good man.
17:00And if he was dating
17:01this lady,
17:01that means he was
17:02able to forgive her.
17:03Which means
17:04she must be truly
17:05sorry for what
17:06she did to your family.
17:10I have an idea.
17:11What?
17:12To show him how to
17:13sign up for one of
17:14those dating apps.
17:15Then he could find
17:15someone new,
17:16someone nice.
17:18Oh,
17:18um,
17:19sure.
17:21Yeah,
17:22I'll talk to him
17:22about it.
17:22promise?
17:26Promise.
17:33And you're being
17:34serious,
17:35Leo.
17:35This isn't some
17:36sort of play
17:37to get me to
17:37lower my guard.
17:38Absolutely not.
17:40You have my word.
17:44Which I know
17:45isn't worth a lot,
17:46but I have been
17:46working very hard
17:47to up its value.
17:48Which is why
17:49I will not
17:49publish a story
17:50about nobody
17:51ever having seen
17:52you and Anastasia
17:52in the same room
17:53together.
17:55But it's so...
17:57out of character.
17:58I know.
17:59Look,
18:00after I left
18:01your place,
18:01I had no doubt
18:02that you and
18:03that mysterious
18:03author were
18:04one and the same.
18:05Then I thought,
18:07Stephanie and I
18:07are former colleagues.
18:08We worked together
18:09at Body and Soul.
18:10But more importantly,
18:12we're friends.
18:14Now,
18:14what kind of friend
18:15would I be
18:16if I revealed
18:17your identity?
18:18And what kind
18:18of reporter
18:19would I be
18:20if I published
18:20a story
18:21that I could
18:21not confirm?
18:23It would not
18:24serve the greater good.
18:25It would only
18:25serve my ego,
18:26which,
18:27for once in my life,
18:28could use a little
18:28bit of a breather
18:29because I'm actually
18:30starting to think
18:30that I am a pretty
18:31fine human being.
18:32Potentially,
18:33anyway.
18:34Wonders will
18:35never cease.
18:36Well,
18:36that's big of you,
18:37man.
18:38Right.
18:39Well,
18:40that all being said,
18:40I do think you
18:41should move forward
18:42with your plan
18:42to come out,
18:44so to speak.
18:45Only because you
18:45cannot keep a secret
18:46for more than
18:47five minutes,
18:48Leo.
18:48Um,
18:49no.
18:50It's because,
18:51as you are well aware,
18:53Miss Julie Williams,
18:54once two people
18:55know a secret,
18:56it is no longer
18:56a secret.
18:58It becomes something
18:59like an hors d'oeuvre,
19:00being passed around
19:01on a steel tray,
19:02everybody just
19:02wait and just
19:03take a nibble.
19:05Right.
19:07And that is exactly
19:09why we should
19:10move forward
19:11with the unmasking.
19:11and we want
19:15you to be
19:15a part of it.
19:27So you want
19:28me
19:28to be a part
19:29of it?
19:30When you finally
19:31lift the veil
19:32of mystery,
19:33cue the collective
19:34dropped jaws,
19:35raised eyebrows?
19:37One way to put it?
19:38Well,
19:40consider me
19:41intrigued.
19:43But I want
19:44the exclusive,
19:45okay,
19:45before it goes viral
19:46that you're
19:46Anastasia Sands.
19:47And I want
19:48the Barbara Walters
19:48sit you down
19:49on a cozy couch
19:50make you cry

19:51And I want
19:52to cover the
19:52launch of book club.
19:54At my grand
19:55reopening?
19:56I don't think so.
19:57Oh, come on.
19:58It will be great
19:59for business.
19:59Think of all
20:00the free press.
20:01Okay, and you're
20:01going to keep it
20:02a secret until then,
20:03right?
20:04You're not going
20:04to run around
20:05to a small bar
20:06later and spill
20:06the tea
20:07to some lonely
20:07schmo?
20:08Um, no.
20:09I'm headed home
20:09to put on an
20:10exfoliating mask
20:11and binge
20:11real housewives.
20:13You know what?
20:15I think this is
20:16going to be good
20:16for all of us.
20:18Including you,
20:19Julie.
20:21I suppose.
20:22So?
20:24We even have
20:25Julie Williams
20:26on board?
20:27This is a moment
20:28for the history books.
20:30So?
20:32What do you say,
20:33Leo?
20:34Yeah, you have
20:36yourself a deal.
20:37And where,
20:40you have
20:41said you
20:41don't want
20:41to tell
20:42Lucky,
20:43you
20:43well,
20:44in the
20:47you
20:49can't
20:50hear
20:52tumblr
20:54here for
20:56you
20:57and
20:59don't
21:00know
21:03about
21:05Oh, sorry. I didn't think you'd still be here. I just wanted to drop this off.
21:12Leave it.
21:23Wuthering Heights. I read that back in college.
21:26No, it's the only novel that Emily Bronte ever wrote.
21:30One of the greatest love stories of all time.
21:35I'm Mark.
21:35By the way, Mark Green, Hatsbrother.
21:38I know who you are.
21:41What I don't know is why the hell you're here.
21:47Well, I must be going. I'll be in touch with you, Alex. You too, Stephanie.
21:52Ah, but not with me? Because I'm just an annoyance?
21:55Like a pop-up ad that you can't skip or a sock that's constantly slipping off inside your shoe?
22:01I'll be in touch with you too, Leo.
22:03Okay.
22:03Though it pains me to say it.
22:06Mmm, I will walk you out, Julie.
22:08Awkward gentleman.
22:09This is going to be so much fun.
22:17I mean, who doesn't love a big, extravagant end of Scooby-Doo reveal?
22:21But I do have a question for you on another subject altogether.
22:25Okay.
22:26E.J. DeMira.
22:27Every time I press him about the free clinic's culpability during the blackout, that charming robber baron gives me a runaround.
22:34I'm going to stop you right there.
22:36I will not entertain any speculation or wild conspiracy theories about what caused the citywide blackout.
22:43But don't you...
22:43I'm afraid the hospital has already said all it's going to say in the statement that we released.
22:47Any further questions can be addressed at the next city council meeting.
22:50Okay.
22:51Well, thanks for your help.
22:52Or lack thereof.
22:55I will see you soon, Stephanie Johnson, a.k.a. Anastasia Sands.
22:59Vixen of veiled vulgarity.
23:02Queen of quips and quivers.
23:07Goodbye.
23:11Well, I think we got what we wanted.
23:15Yes, we did.
23:16You are going to have the best book launch ever.
23:20Let's hope so.
23:22I'm sure of it.
23:23But there is one thing that I want.
23:30What's that?
23:32Maybe if you come a little closer, I can tell you.
23:37Rather, show you.
23:44Close enough.
23:49Perfect.
23:53Hey.
24:12Hey.
24:12Hi.
24:14Hi.
24:16Um...
24:16I wanted to apologize for how I acted earlier when I saw Mark.
24:21I-I didn't know what to say.
24:25No, he's the one who felt like he should have said something.
24:29I mean, he feels ashamed of how he behaved, of course.
24:32And I know he'll tell you this when he gets the opportunity.
24:35He's so grateful that you didn't lobby against his release.
24:38We all are.
24:40I'm sure your family's happy that he's home.
24:44Yeah, we are.
24:45I mean, how's your family?
24:47How's Thomas?
24:48Uh, it hasn't been easy.
24:52To be honest.
24:53Yeah.
24:55I imagine it hasn't been.
24:57I mean, I talked to him.
24:57I, uh, apologized.
24:59Told him that, uh, it was over between you and me.
25:03He's still distant.
25:05Wants to go live with Jack and Jennifer in Boston.
25:08He said that?
25:09Oh, my God, Chad, I'm-I'm so sorry.
25:16Tried to make things right.
25:19I guess it's not that simple.
25:22Why am I here?
25:24Good question.
25:26After what I did, I probably shouldn't be within a hundred yards of anyone in your family.
25:30Try a thousand.
25:30I told my sister as much.
25:33But she encouraged me to talk to you.
25:36Did she?
25:38She said you were an understanding man.
25:40Someone who would do anything for his family.
25:42Just as I did.
25:45How many times did you practice that in the mirror?
25:49Look, I know you probably won't give a damn, but I need to say this.
25:55Despite Clyde Weston's orders, I never would have hurt your brother.
25:58And like my sister, I just want to get my life back on track.
26:02Do whatever I can to right my wrongs.
26:05And while I can't practice medicine right now, I'd be happy to do just about anything to give back.
26:12If you check out my resume, you would see that I graduated summa cum laude undergrad.
26:18I put myself through med school, working night shifts at a research lab.
26:22Impressive.
26:26And I don't expect anything.
26:28And I know this is a big ask, but if something were to come up at University Hospital,
26:33I'd really appreciate you at least considering me.
26:39Anyway, thank you for your time.
26:43Hold up.
26:44I may have an idea.
26:52What was it you used to say, Mother?
27:12That I'm not graceful, nimble, that I ought to grow a pair?
27:16Look at me now.
27:17Are patch required beyond this point?
27:25Check with four person before proceeding.
27:30Unfortunately, no can do.
27:32Oh, well, that's just great.
27:40Well, I'm going to have to find another way in.
27:42One, two, three, four, five, six.
28:01Six, five, one, three, two.
28:08What?
28:09Not very passcode savvy, are we?
28:15You're the reporter, are you not?
28:18Leo Stark?
28:18And you are?
28:22I am doesn't matter.
28:24What does matter is that you are trespassing, and I'm calling security.
28:28Oh, my God, I can see it now, okay?
28:33Red carpet, right here.
28:34Uh-huh.
28:35Klieg lights up in the sky.
28:36Of course, you're going to have celebrities milling about, sipping bubbly.
28:39Oh, yes, I'm sure all of Hollywood's royalties will be champing at the bit to be in my book
28:43lodge.
28:45Meryl, darling, you look marvelous.
28:48Can I please introduce you to my dear friend and the oh-so-talented writer, Miss Anastasia Sands,
28:53a.k.a.
28:54Stephanie Johnston.
28:55Oh, Meryl, wonderful to meet you.
28:57I love your weird work in Sophie's Choice.
28:59Oh, what's that, Meryl?
29:01Of course you can get a signed copy of One Stormy Night.
29:04Now, would you like it signed by Anastasia Sands, or...
29:10Uh-oh, what's wrong?
29:12No, it's just, um...
29:15Well, I'm going to...
29:17I'm going to miss the privacy of having a non-diploma.
29:20Oh.
29:21You know, going to the supermarket in my sweats.
29:23No makeup.
29:24No one knows me.
29:25I don't know them.
29:26Hmm.
29:27Now I'm going to have to play the role of a sort of well-known novelist.
29:34I'm going to have to dress a certain way.
29:36People are going to want to know my opinions on things.
29:38Stephanie, listen to me.
29:40We don't have to do this if you don't want to.
29:42There's still time.
29:43No, no, no, babe.
29:43No, Leo...
29:44Leo was right.
29:46Whether or not I want this...
29:48It's only a matter of time before the truth comes out.
29:53Especially since Jeremy totally ignored my wishes and outed me.
29:58Yeah, I really...
29:59I really thought that he had turned over a new leaf and that...
30:02And that he would stay the hell out of my life.
30:05But clearly, that wasn't in the...
30:08Cards.
30:12Cards.
30:12Well, Mr. Stark, do you want to tell me what you're doing here?
30:25Or should I call that security guard built like a brick you-know-what house and you can tell him yourself?
30:30Well, first of all, from your description, tempting.
30:33And secondly, you may not know this, but I'm something of a local hero.
30:36A local hero?
30:37See, I rescued my gorgeous former best friend turned socialite, Gwen Ryshek, when she was trapped here during the blackout.
30:43And during said blackout, I...
30:45I dropped one of my earbuds.
30:48And you thought your dropped earbud would still be at an active construction site several days later?
30:56Hope springs eternal.
30:58By the way, great job fixing that hole in the wall.
31:00Do you not read?
31:02This is a restricted area.
31:05It is a construction zone and a hardhat area.
31:08And you don't have the proper clearance to be here, which means you're a liability.
31:12Plus, you aren't wearing a helmet.
31:14And we wouldn't want anything to hurt that nicely symmetrical face of yours, would we?
31:21Well, no one has ever called my face symmetrical before.
31:24You get a gold medal in the flattery Olympics, whoever you are.
31:28Leave now.
31:30And don't you dare come back.
31:32Roger that.
31:33That way, yes?
31:34Yes.
31:35So, Mark, I may have use for your research skills.
31:46If you agree to sign a non-disclosure agreement, and you're trusted enough to not ask any questions, and if you keep your head down and just do the work.
31:56No offense, but if you're talking about gray area, I don't want to go back to Statesville.
32:04You needn't worry.
32:06This has nothing to do with the hospital or patient care.
32:09It's private research that I am funding out of my own pocket.
32:14One that I think you would be perfect for.
32:20But, if it's not right for you, feel free to take your chances somewhere else.
32:25Whatever you need me to do, you can trust me.
32:33I'm your man.
32:34Excellent.
32:35Excellent.
32:38I think we will work well together, Dr. Green.
32:40I'm sorry that this is so hard.
32:50But, but, Thomas loves you.
32:53Yeah, I'm sure once he realizes that we really, truly are over, you know, he'll come around.
33:02Yeah, I hope so.
33:03Well, you should probably, you should probably go before someone sees us together.
33:16Yeah.
33:20Take care, Kat.
33:23Yeah, you too.
33:33Well, would you look who it is?
33:42You know, I think I'll be on my way.
33:45You got some nerve, Horton.
33:49Excuse me.
33:50Alex, don't.
33:51No, no, no.
33:52This guy pulled the ultimate bitch move.
33:54And we're not going to let him off the hook that easy.
33:56What are you talking about?
33:57You know damn well what I'm talking about.
33:58Talking about you blabbering your mouth.
33:59To Leo Stark about, oh, how Anastasia Sainz is actually Stephanie Johnson.
34:04What?
34:05Who the hell is Leo Stark?
34:06Don't play dumb.
34:08You know who he is and you know what you did.
34:11Did you not switch up your meds or something?
34:13Because I genuinely don't.
34:14Why would I switch up your law?
34:15Alex, stop, Alex.
34:17He's not worth it.
34:21You're right.
34:24He isn't.
34:27Jeremy, just...
34:29Please stay away.
34:32Please.
34:33Please.
34:44Oh.
34:46Well, if it isn't my good friend and consigliari,
34:49how's the weather outside, Rita?
34:51Unseasonably warm.
34:52Great.
34:53I need you to take a look at this for me.
34:56What is it?
34:57The resume of Dr. Mark Green.
34:59Well, former doctor.
35:01Vet him and come back to me with a thorough background check.
35:04I want to know everything there is to know about Mr. Green.
35:07Now, more importantly,
35:09I want you to make sure
35:11that when I say jump,
35:14he will indubitably say how high.
35:16I will do my best as usual.
35:18I will do my best, as usual.
35:19But, in the meantime,
35:21I feel it my duty to let you know
35:22I found a certain person nosing about
35:25where they most definitely shouldn't have been.
35:27What do you mean?
35:28Who?
35:28Leo Stark, sir.
35:30I caught him in the clinic,
35:32claimed he was looking for a lost earbud,
35:34but that...
35:34That little weasel is becoming a serious problem.
35:40One that we need to take care of
35:44sooner rather than later.
