00:01Xander, you're right on time.
00:04Where's Sarah? Was she stuck at the hospital?
00:08No.
00:10She's not coming.
00:14Well, this sure isn't where I thought you were taking me.
00:19I thought we were going to lunch.
00:22It will.
00:24After you work up an appetite.
00:27What is this place?
00:30This is where hopefully you will find some relief.
00:53Theo, I...
00:57JJ?
01:00Do you have a minute to talk?
01:09Hey.
01:10Hey, Jennifer.
01:11I hope this isn't a bad time.
01:13No.
01:14What brings you here?
01:15I think you know.
01:24Your brother's missing? What do you mean?
01:27That was my sister-in-law, Anna.
01:30They're both on a cruise out of Monte Carlo, but Tony being Tony, he couldn't stay away from work for long, so he scheduled a business meeting in Athens while the boat was docked there for the day and never made it back.
01:41What do you think happened?
01:43What do you think happened?
01:45No idea.
01:47Anna believes my brother may have been the victim of foul play.
01:50Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.
02:04I have a few minutes.
02:05I have a few minutes.
02:18So, what's on your mind?
02:19I thought a lot about the talk that you and I had left to what happened at the square.
02:35Theo, I took it to heart, and I went to Commissioner Hunter, offered my resignation.
02:54He quit?
02:56No, she talked me out of it.
03:02I see.
03:03But she did encourage me to take a leave of absence.
03:09While I work out some things with the department psychiatrist, so...
03:15That's where I'm at right now.
03:20I'm not exactly sure why you're telling me any of this.
03:25I'm telling you this because even though I'm gonna continue my sessions with a therapist...
03:33I'm not gonna be able to work this out...
03:36Unless I talk it over with you.
03:43Jennifer, if this is about the kids...
03:44No, it's not.
03:45I came by to file my story about my grandfather. I know you wanted the copy editor to take a look at it first.
03:55Sure. You could have just emailed Ms. Barlow.
03:57Yeah, no, I know. I...
04:00Uh...
04:02I also came by because I feel like I owe you an apology.
04:07I have been really, really harsh with you lately and I have said a lot of hurtful things.
04:17And it was really unfair.
04:20And also, I want to tell you how grateful I am that you're doing the right thing and you're putting your relationship with Kat Green behind you.
04:28Look, my brother is a savvy world traveler and my sister-in-law, well, she panics if she can't find her reading glasses on the top of her head.
04:43Okay, AJ, but...
04:46Her husband is missing. I mean, I think she might have a good reason for panicking, don't you?
04:52Not necessarily. At least not yet.
04:55I mean, for all we know, Tony simply lost track of time.
04:58So, for now...
05:00I will refrain from calling in the cavalry, drawing attention to what is most likely his absent-mindedness.
05:06Right, but what if it's not that?
05:09I mean, wouldn't you rather be safe than sorry? If your brother really is in actual trouble, every single second counts.
05:20So...
05:22What exactly is this place?
05:25This is a rage room.
05:29You say that like I'm supposed to know what this is.
05:31Okay, good.
05:33This is a room where you, uh...
05:36You get out all your anger and frustrations.
05:40For example, you take something like this fat.
05:45And you just start...
05:47Smashing everything.
05:49Now, you take safety precautions. You put on goggles and coveralls and gloves.
05:55Basically, I exit the room and you, uh...
05:58Have at it.
06:03Look, Brady, I appreciate what you're trying to do here. I-I do.
06:06But I'm...
06:08Upset because my soon-to-be ex-husband is a cruel son of a bitch, so...
06:14I really don't think going gonzo on a bunch of defenseless, inanimate objects is going to be therapeutic for me.
06:20Sarah, people get angry.
06:25You're angry.
06:27You have every right to be angry at Xander right now.
06:31This is a place where you can just...
06:33Get your anger out in a safe, controlled environment.
06:38I think it's exactly what you need.
06:40I take it something happened since our last session?
06:50Quite a bit, actually.
06:54Sarah filed for divorce.
06:55Divorce.
06:59I see.
07:01She also filed for...
07:03Sole custody of Victoria.
07:05Didn't even give me visitation rights.
07:08And I have no one to blame it myself.
07:10So.
07:19Hey, don't put this on me.
07:21It's not my responsibility to assuage your guilt.
07:25No, of course it's not. Look, you...
07:28You're misunderstanding what I'm saying, okay?
07:31Look, all I-all I meant was...
07:35Theo.
07:36Your friendship is very important to me.
07:41And if I had known that my going back to the forest would be so...
07:46Upsetting to you.
07:48Like I know words are cheap.
07:51I swear.
07:53I never would have.
07:57And the only reason why I did is...
08:01While Salem PD was short on cost.
08:04And they really wanted me back.
08:09And now they want me to stay.
08:15And look, Theo, I...
08:17I...
08:19I feel like this could be a chance...
08:22For me to right the wrongs of...
08:24Of...
08:26How I handled myself the last time I wore the badge.
08:29But maybe...
08:31I'm deluding myself.
08:35Maybe it's arrogant of me, but...
08:37I'm hoping I can make a difference.
08:40Not just in the community...
08:45But on the force.
08:46And this is all by way of...
08:52Of saying that I...
08:54I do...
08:56Want to stay on the job.
08:59But...
09:03But what?
09:04Are you seriously asking for my permission?
09:10To stay with the Salem PD?
09:13Yeah, I guess I am.
09:18So if you don't want me to stay on the job...
09:21Say the word.
09:23Hello?
09:25Hello?
09:32You're right.
09:34In the event that something awful has happened to my brother...
09:38Every second counts.
09:40So...
09:42There is something you could do, Kat.
09:44Name it.
09:46Well, my family needs to be made aware of the situation...
09:49And I'll need to speak to Theo...
09:51To discuss what the repercussions at the mirror might be...
09:53Should this go public.
09:55And I'll most likely have my hands full for a while.
09:58So...
10:00Is there any chance you could...
10:02Track down Chad and...
10:04Let him know what's going on?
10:09I'll always put my family first, Jennifer.
10:12I hope you...
10:14I hope you know that.
10:19You know...
10:28Everything that happened between me and Kat...
10:31Jennifer, it just...
10:32It took me by surprise.
10:35You know, in the beginning I was just as angry at her...
10:37As the rest of you for deceiving us.
10:38I never expected to forgive her.
10:43Ever.
10:45Much less have feelings for her.
10:46Right, but Chad, do you understand the feelings...
10:49That you had for Kat?
10:50The ones that took you by surprise?
10:53I think that they were seeded from the love that you had for my daughter.
10:59And that memory, the love...
11:02That belongs to my daughter, not to Kat.
11:06Please.
11:09I'm sorry I hurt you.
11:13I'm sorry I hurt Jack.
11:15And I'm very sorry I hurt Thomas.
11:18Yeah.
11:19Yeah.
11:20He's been having a really hard time through all of this.
11:23And I know that you and I, we have been going around this issue of him wanting to live with me and Jack in Boston.
11:34So I really think that we need to clear the air on this.
11:38You sound like you know what you're talking about.
11:39Have you been to a rage room before?
11:41Many times.
11:42Really?
11:43Yeah.
11:44Yeah.
11:45Yeah.
11:46Yeah.
11:47Yeah.
11:48Yeah.
11:49Yeah.
11:50Very recently actually when I found out that Kristen had Rachel testify against Johnny when she knew all along that she was the one that shot EJ.
12:03You see, letting your anger out here, well it's much more healthy than trying to find comfort at the bottom of a bottle.
12:15You know, there's really only one way to find out whether this is going to work for you.
12:22What do you say?
12:24Do you want to let out everything that Xander has put you through?
12:29Let's do it.
12:30I just had the most wonderful day with Victoria at the pumpkin patch and by the time we got home she was fast asleep so I put her down upstairs and then when I went downstairs there was Maggie and she just laced into me.
12:56She was warning me that if I were to move back in that there better not be any more surprises and she wasn't really talking about the ones that could hurt Titan.
13:07She was more worried about the ones that could break her daughter's heart.
13:11I assume she was on to something.
13:15It's like she has this x-ray vision that just bores right down into your soul that she just kept pushing and pushing and then Sarah came home.
13:24And that's why Maggie told me to look Sarah in the eye and tell her the truth about Philip.
13:31And Sarah told me herself to do the same thing.
13:34How did you answer her?
13:39I just couldn't lie to her anymore.
13:44So I said yes.
13:47It was me.
13:49I'm the one that attacked Philip.
13:51You want me to tell Chad that your brother's missing?
14:07Look, I know that this is a big ask given how things ended with you and Chad and I don't mean to be insensitive about what you're going through but things like this travel quickly and I think it'll be better for Chad to hear this from a friendly face.
14:24Uh, yeah. Yeah. Whatever you need.
14:29Excellent. Thank you.
14:30Yeah. Okay.
14:31I don't think it's fair of you to put this decision on me, JJ.
14:46What? No, Theo, that's not what I'm doing.
14:52I'm just asking you to help me with it.
14:55That's all.
14:59Look, I never would have involved you in this in the first place if you hadn't flipped out when you found out that I was back on.
15:07Flipped out.
15:09Wow.
15:14Is that what you thought?
15:15I didn't. I didn't mean it like that.
15:18Look, I'm going to be honest with you, JJ.
15:21The time to talk about this was before you became a cop again in the first place.
15:31Here we are.
15:32Sure.
15:37And I really don't need Paulina or Commissioner Hunter blaming me for Salem being sure to detect her.
15:46So are you saying that you don't want me to quit?
15:49I'm saying I can't be the one to make that decision for you. You have to make your own choice about it.
16:02I have to go.
16:03I have to go.
16:18Sandra, in our previous sessions when the topic of Sherlock's attack came up.
16:25I lied.
16:27By omission, I evaded your questions. I...
16:32I wasn't just lying to you. I was lying to myself.
16:37I was doing everything I could to put what I did to Philip in the past.
16:42Forget it ever happened because otherwise I have to look in the mirror and see myself for who I really am.
16:49Just a thug.
16:52Or worse.
16:54Homicidal maniac.
16:58And...
17:00How did I repay the women I love for having faith in me?
17:05Sadly naive though that was.
17:06I let her apologize to me over and over again.
17:12Grovel at my feet for believing that I hurt Philip and I knew all along that she had absolutely nothing to atone for.
17:21I just...
17:23Just stood there.
17:25Didn't say a word.
17:26So on top of everything else, I'm a bloody hypocrite.
17:37How did Sarah react when you told her the truth?
17:40She made it perfectly clear that she hates me.
17:44Wants nothing to do with me ever again.
17:47But she couldn't possibly hate me as much as I hate myself.
17:51What?
17:53Who was trying to tell her how to do it?
17:55How to do it?
17:56Because, what did we do to see myself?
17:58How did we do it?
18:00How did we do it?
18:02We're going to make those decisions, and then we're going to make them.
18:05How did we do it?
18:08When did we do it?
18:10How did we do it?
18:12How did we do it?
18:14How did we do it?
18:17We did it.
18:18What we did this is.
18:19Damn it, Xander, you bastard!
18:24This is what you did to me!
18:26No!
18:27No!
18:28No!
18:29No!
18:30No!
18:31No!
18:32No!
18:33No!
18:34No!
18:49No!
18:50No!
18:51No!
18:52No!
18:53No!
18:54No!
18:55No!
18:56No!
18:57No!
18:58No!
19:00No!
19:01Yeah!
19:02No!
19:06Yeah!
19:08Yeah!
19:09Yeah!
19:11Yeah!
19:12Yeah!
19:13Yeah!
19:14Chat, I just want to be clear...
19:16As much as I would love to spend every single day with my precious grandchildren.
19:23I never suggested that they come live with us in Boston.
19:27Yeah, I know.
19:28And I appreciate that.
19:32Look, I hate that Thomas found out about me and Kat the way that he did.
19:37I'm doing everything in my power to regain his trust.
19:40But Jennifer, he's not letting me in.
19:42And he's not going to, as long as he thinks that moving in with you and Jack is a viable option.
19:47So as much as I appreciate that you didn't plant that seed, it's just...
19:52It's not enough.
19:53I'm going to need you to be a little bit more unambiguous with him.
19:56To make it clear that moving in with you and Jack is not going to be a viable option.
19:59I understand.
19:59I will tell him that that is never going to happen.
20:07Chad, you don't have to thank me.
20:09I do believe that is what's best for Thomas and for Charlotte.
20:15But I need something from you.
20:19Okay.
20:20What?
20:23I need your word.
20:25I need you to promise me that you will keep Kat Green out of their lives.
20:31Jennifer, my relationship with Kat is over.
20:36Forever.
20:38I promise.
20:52So Tony didn't call Anna or reach out to anyone on the ship?
20:57No, he hasn't.
20:58When was the last time you spoke to him?
21:02Last night.
21:03I was giving him an update on my meeting with Xander.
21:05We were supposed to talk in at steps before Titan and Demira are officially separated.
21:10Unfortunately, we'll have to wait now.
21:14Well, until we figure out what's going on with my brother,
21:18if you need any help with Demira, I'm happy to step in.
21:25Kat.
21:26Hey.
21:26Hi.
21:26I'm very sorry to interrupt.
21:31EJ sent me here.
21:32He wanted me to tell you that your brother, Tony, is missing.
21:37So what?
21:38I'm sure you're aware that he and your sister-in-law are on a cruise.
21:42Apparently, he left the ship to go to a meeting,
21:45but he never returned before they left the dock,
21:47and now the Greek authorities are involved.
21:50Oh, my God.
21:51I'm sorry.
21:52I know this is upsetting news to hear, but I have to go.
21:59I hope they find your brother and that he's okay.
22:02Oh.
22:06Okay.
22:06I'm sorry.
22:07I need to call EJ and figure out what's going on with her.
22:10No, yes, of course.
22:10Yes.
22:11I had no idea that she was going to be showing up, Jennifer.
22:14I believe you.
22:15I realize that.
22:16It's a reality check for me.
22:17You both live in Salem.
22:18Mom, there is no way that the two of you are going to totally avoid each other all the time.
22:47Good job.
22:48What was it?
22:56Accelerating.
22:59Eye-opening.
23:03How so?
23:09What I did in here.
23:14It's what Xander wanted to do to you.
23:17Huh.
23:18It's what he did do to Philip.
23:24I'm sitting here feeling so guilty about beating the hell out of inanimate objects.
23:29It's how Xander even thought twice about doing it to an actual person.
23:40It just moved on.
23:42No remorse.
23:43No remorse.
23:45No regret.
23:46I married a monster.
23:49Part of me knows that I can never let him be around Victoria again.
24:03He'd never hurt her.
24:06He'd never hurt her.
24:08Never.
24:09Not in a million years.
24:10But...
24:10Not physically.
24:18But the pain that he's caused me...
24:21It's just as real as any broken bone.
24:28I never want her to feel that.
24:33Oh, I understand.
24:38Well, that makes one of us at least kill.
24:41This other part of me feels like...
24:47I'm a monster, too.
24:53Because I want him out of his daughter's life.
24:55Forever.
24:56Xander, now that the secret is out, what are you planning to do?
25:08My first instinct is to fight for Sarah.
25:10But I just don't see how she won't speak to me.
25:14Normal Maggie.
25:15I mean, she's trying to get Philip to turn me over to the police.
25:19Do you think he would do that?
25:22Philip flat-out refused.
25:23He even blocked Maggie's attempt to push me out at Titan.
25:27I mean, he's been my biggest ally in all this, oddly enough.
25:31But even if Philip does cover for me, there's still...
25:34Plenty of people out there that can testify about all the other horrible things that I've done.
25:39Dr. Evans said...
25:42There isn't a judge in the whole world that would want me anywhere near my daughter.
25:48Maybe...
25:52Maybe it would be...
25:53Best for Victoria if I just...
25:57Walked away.
26:11Xander, you...
26:13You really think that your daughter would be better off without you and her life?
26:18I just keep hurting the people that I love and I...
26:23I'd rather die than hurt Victoria.
26:28I think we need to do a lot of work on this.
26:31I mean, why you...
26:32Why you keep hurting the people that you love?
26:36I just wish I could answer that question.
26:37I think...
26:40I think...
26:41I think you're judging yourself too harshly.
26:45I think you don't know what the future holds for you.
26:48But I think people have an enormous capacity for growth and for healing.
26:57Especially if they have something meaningful to live for.
27:01My beautiful daughter.
27:04My beautiful daughter.
27:07You've made so much progress in our sessions.
27:09I hope...
27:11I hope you don't give up on it.
27:14I want...
27:15I want to get better.
27:18I want to be...
27:19Better.
27:21But I understand that I...
27:22I cannot do it all by myself, so...
27:26Will you keep seeing me, Dr. Evans?
27:29Even now that you know everything that I've done.
27:32Don't you dare talk about yourself like that ever again.
27:43You are probably one of the kindest and most generous people I know.
27:50Really?
27:51Yeah.
27:54I've already filed for divorce.
27:56I'm seeking full custody of Victoria with no visitation rights for her father.
28:03I mean, how...
28:04How's that for kind and generous?
28:06Because you feel it's right.
28:08You know it's right.
28:10And I get it.
28:11You want to protect...
28:14Your little girl.
28:19I'm surprised you're being so empathetic, Brady.
28:24I mean, you didn't.
28:26Protect your little girl.
28:28That way, you decided that it was right for Rachel to have a relationship with Kristen.
28:32No, no, no.
28:33It's not the same thing.
28:34It's not the same.
28:35Look.
28:37Rachel basically grew up with her mother.
28:39Victoria is...
28:41What, two?
28:42Yeah.
28:43Well...
28:43Even though she can sense her father's love,
28:47we know that the first couple years of a child's life...
28:52What?
28:53Their memories aren't formed yet.
28:56Exactly.
28:58So if there was ever a time to break it off...
29:01Now...
29:03Now would be the time.
29:04So you're saying I'm making the right decision?
29:12I'm saying that if it was me under these circumstances...
29:15Sarah, I would do the exact same thing.
29:19Yes, right.
29:32I was there when Anna called EJ.
29:35Tony DiMera is MIA.
29:39She claims that the captain of the ship looped in Interpol,
29:43but you might want to confirm that on your end.
29:44Yeah.
29:47Yeah, no, I've already looped in the ISA.
29:51They're up to speed.
29:52You might want to do the same with the Bureau.
29:54Okay.
29:54Okay.
29:55Yeah, thank you.
29:57Yeah, Mr. DiMera has to reschedule.
29:58Okay.
30:01We'll be in touch.
30:02Bye.
30:04Sorry, you didn't have to get off on Mike.
30:06No.
30:06Yeah, I...
30:07Actually, I did.
30:09I...
30:10Now that we're here, not in mixed company,
30:12I need to say I'm sorry.
30:18I appreciate the offer, EJ,
30:20but how can you talk about the company
30:22when your brother is missing?
30:24Well, it may sound callous,
30:26but if DiMera's business came to a screeching halt
30:29every time the family was in crisis,
30:31its doors would have shuttered ages ago.
30:33No, in times of crisis,
30:35we circle the wagons as a family.
30:38I get that, but...
30:40What if there's foul play?
30:42Involved in Tony's disappearance,
30:44we can't just act like nothing happened.
30:46We are doing no such thing.
30:48But when we do act,
30:50we will do so quickly and stoically.
30:52The moment the enemy smells our fear,
30:54we will be ripe for the attack.
30:56Let's not give them the opportunity.
31:02Anna, what's the word?
31:03Well, that's a relief.
31:08But what do you mean?
31:10Why isn't it a relief, Anna?
31:12Hey.
31:31What are you doing all, Mr. Detective?
31:33Are you okay?
31:40Are you okay?
31:43No.
31:47No, I'm not.
31:51Mom, there's something I haven't told you.
31:55Gigi, what is it?
31:58You know I'm here for you, right?
32:00What's got you so upset?
32:10During the blackout,
32:12I was in the Horton Square,
32:16policing the area,
32:18and
32:20I saw some guy in the distance
32:24and
32:25I stopped him.
32:30When I realized it was Theo,
32:33I felt terrible.
32:35and I apologized,
32:39but he was really upset with me.
32:43Understandably.
32:47And it brought back up the shooting
32:48for both of us.
32:52and I have decided to take a leave of absence
32:57from the PD.
33:00And now I am...
33:02I'm struggling
33:04with whether to remain on the force
33:07or resign.
33:12Gigi, why didn't you see anything?
33:17Because I am ashamed, Mom.
33:22I'm so ashamed.
33:23JJ,
33:40you have no reason to feel ashamed.
33:45Taking a leave of absence
33:46and in talking to the PD psychiatrist
33:49shows your friend that you care.
33:50But Theo is right.
33:57Whether you decide
33:59to rejoin the force or not,
34:01that is a decision
34:02you have to make on your own.
34:05Yeah, I know.
34:10I am so sorry
34:11that you have been struggling with this
34:12because I have been all too
34:14preoccupied.
34:16But you need to know
34:19that I am here for you.
34:24I love you so, so much.
34:27Love you too, Mom.
34:36Yes, I understand
34:38you're cross with him, but...
34:40Anna, Anna, for God's sake,
34:44the important thing
34:45is that he is alive
34:47and well.
34:48Now, I really must get going.
34:51Yes, please,
34:52keep me posted.
34:54Oh.
34:55What happened?
34:57Well,
34:58Anna received a message
34:59from the bridge.
35:01Apparently,
35:01Tony's meeting
35:02went on longer
35:03than they expected
35:03and he simply missed the boat.
35:06He's going to rejoin
35:07the crews at the next port.
35:08What?
35:10Ah.
35:11That's great.
35:12Indeed.
35:12And instead of being relieved
35:14that her husband
35:15is alive and well
35:16and rejoining them
35:18on their five-star cruise,
35:19Anna is outraged
35:20and insists
35:21there will be hell
35:23to pay for him
35:24embarrassing her.
35:25Ah.
35:26Wow.
35:26Poor Uncle Tony.
35:28Yeah.
35:29Honestly,
35:30if I were trapped
35:31on the seven seas
35:32of that woman,
35:33I would miss my boat too.
35:35Kat,
35:40you don't have to apologize.
35:41Yes, I do.
35:42I went into your office
35:44at the worst possible time ever.
35:46If I had known Jennifer
35:47was there,
35:47I would never have...
35:48Listen,
35:48it's a lesson that she
35:49had to learn, right?
35:50We're bound to bump
35:52into each other
35:52from time to time.
35:54Okay?
35:54She said so herself.
35:57Sorry.
35:58It's EJ.
35:59EJ, hey, hey.
36:01I was just on my way
36:02to your office.
36:03What's the latest
36:04with Tony?
36:07Thank God, really?
36:10Yes!
36:11Sorry.
36:13Thank you for letting me know.
36:15Yeah, okay.
36:17You too, bye.
36:19Oh, so sorry.
36:20They, um...
36:21I'm sure as you deduced
36:22from the conversation,
36:24they found Tony.
36:24Yeah, everything is good.
36:26He's okay.
36:26Amazing news.
36:27That's awesome.
36:30I should go.
36:31I know you're going.
36:33Right, right.
36:34Yeah, of course.
36:35I'll...
36:36See you around.
36:38Yeah, see you.
36:38Yeah.
36:47Well, thank you
36:48for bringing me here.
36:51Anytime.
36:52I'm glad it had the, uh...
36:54desired effect.
36:55Yeah.
36:57It did.
36:57And it's good to know
37:00that, uh...
37:01I have an outlet
37:02for all of my anger.
37:08Thank you for listening.
37:10And understanding.
37:14That's what friends are for.
37:15I will agree
37:31to keep seeing you.
37:35As long as you agree
37:36to complete transparency
37:38during our sessions.
37:40I will.
37:41I promise.
37:42But, um...
37:46Can I just ask you
37:47one question?
37:49Of course.
37:51From your perspective
37:52as a psychiatrist
37:54and as someone
37:55that knows Sarah
37:56fairly well,
37:58do you see any way
37:59I could ever fix this
38:00with her?
38:03I think we should work
38:04on fixing you first.
38:06and then see
38:08where things go.
38:11Fine.
38:13We will do that.
38:15Because you're right,
38:16Dr. Evans.
38:17I do have, uh...
38:19What was it you said?
38:20A, uh...
38:22Something meaningful
38:23in my life.
38:26My Victoria.
