01:57look i i know that you're worried about the adoption
02:07i think we should take down the crib
02:09you found the hat
02:17yay lucky for me mark kept it from his very highly embarrassing stint as a birthday party magician
02:24oh okay i'm sorry that gig helped pay for med school mister
02:27what is it
02:35it's the results from the dna test you ordered her in
02:43i don't think i can look at
02:47you want me to
02:53so
03:11um
03:13it's a match
03:23oh my gosh
03:39i'm the father of sophia's baby
03:46like sands through the hourglass
04:00so are the days of our lives
04:02my daughter is in bayview sanitarium
04:16staring at a wall
04:17she refuses to look at or speak to anyone
04:20instead of living out her dreams she's locked in a psychiatric institution
04:24i'm very sorry
04:26are you sorry just generally mr damara
04:31or are you personally sorry for everything you've done to create this nightmare
04:35i'm sure in time
04:37sophia's life
04:38is ruined
04:39because of you and that spoiled brat you call a son
04:46i don't know i think we should wait a little while before we take down the crib
04:54why
04:55what's the point
04:57the point is
04:59the point is
05:01we can't lose hope
05:03okay social services is still reassessing our case plus rafe basically proved to them that
05:07that everything sophia said about us was a lie
05:09okay then why haven't we heard from them
05:11i i don't know
05:13but i'm sure we will soon okay look
05:15i'm not giving up hope
05:19and i'm not gonna let you either
05:22are you okay
05:47are you okay
05:51i shouldn't even
05:55i shouldn't even be surprised
05:59when i found out that tate wasn't the father i just knew it had to be me
06:06damn
06:09i just wish i could talk sophia through this but that's not even possible right now obviously
06:16i don't know what to do i don't know what's supposed to happen
06:21the baby's in foster care
06:25yeah ready to be adopted
06:30but as the
06:35biological father you have rights
06:39what kind of rights
06:41well i don't know the specifics
06:44but the first step would be to put in a phone call to child services
06:52will you stay with me
07:00oh honey of course of course i will be right here with you
07:05okay
07:05every step of the way you got me
07:08yeah
07:13jade is on a date with jeremy horton
07:15how do they even know each other
07:16how do they even know each other they met on a dating app
07:18oh
07:19i came home to change into my costume and i saw him out in the hallway
07:25before i could say anything i got a work call that i had to take
07:30and then they were gone
07:31i should check to jada and make sure that she's okay
07:36no no i'm sure this jeremy guy has fooled some people but this is the police commissioner
07:43jade is going to see right through that creep in a hot minute
07:49gotta say i did not peg you as an anime fan
07:51what okay i have been obsessed with the first winslayer since middle school my sister and i
07:58we've watched every episode at least five times what do you think about the reboot oh so
08:04disappointing thank you i mean a for effort but it didn't even come close to the original way too
08:09much cgi right oh man you know my old roommate she got so sick of hearing me complain about it
08:16you better stephanie johnson actually i already knew stephanie
08:35that wasn't so hard when was it
08:39no yeah just no biggie learning my rights and responsibilities as a father
08:46uh a father
08:50i'm not even old enough to buy a beer
08:54and i get it this is a no-brainer okay obviously i'm gonna give up my rights it's just
09:06it's just what it's just
09:09it is one thing to blow off a homework assignment or or skip class to hang out with friends or whatever
09:21but this
09:27this my being irresponsible that one night with sophia
09:36it ended up making a life
09:41i'm now a father of a a baby who i now have to give up
09:45because i made a mistake
09:56i bet
09:59i bet you're real disappointed in me
10:01hey what no no no uh uh erin i am not judging you
10:12i realize the gravity of this situation and how upsetting it is for you it is a lot to take in
10:19okay
10:21okay the important thing
10:25is that that baby is loved and cared for by parents who are ready to raise him
10:33you are not a bad person you're a good human erin you are you are kind you're caring
10:48you think you're funny or not really
10:49and i am here for you always in all ways
11:03i deeply regret that the adoption of your grandson fell through
11:23and
11:24i take full responsibility for my part in it
11:33that's something i suppose
11:36oh and just so you know mrs showy i wanted to learn more about what happened
11:40so i called patsy mcgowan the attorney who helped your daughter fabricate the story that she gave the
11:46baby to the couple in chicago
11:48i hope the da throws the book at that horrible woman she should be disbarred
11:52actually what ms mcgowan did wasn't all bad
11:58excuse me she aided and abetted sophia's enormous lie
12:02that's one way to look at it another way is
12:07she was there for sophia when she couldn't turn to her own mother
12:17look i i want to have hope johnny that crib is false hope
12:22and i i need to prevent myself from having my heart broken all over again
12:28okay i know
12:30the odds may be against us
12:33okay but until we know for sure that it is over
12:37i'm gonna keep praying for a miracle
12:41what if we don't get one then we'll find another way to have a family
12:44this is our time chanel and it will come true
12:52we will be parents i promise you that
12:55all the guys on that app it really sucks that she had to match with jeremy
13:08what what are you thinking
13:16i'm thinking
13:20that maybe she didn't just happen to match with him
13:22what do you mean by that jeremy knew that i used to live across the hall
13:29so i'm thinking he must have found out that jada and i used to be roommates
13:32and then he went on a mission to take her out on a date
13:37now why would he do that
13:39to get to me
13:41obviously
13:42so you know stephanie
13:52why didn't you say so when you picked me up i mean she was standing right there
13:58yeah i know and i was going to say something but then she got that phone call
14:02all right okay so i know that the brady's important to go way back
14:08did you and steph grow up together no no i was raised primarily by my mom in israel
14:12oh and steph she was in la with her mom so how'd you guys meet it was in our early 20s back when
14:22she was still racing cars and full disclosure she's not my biggest fan
14:32wait a minute so you're the old boyfriend that stephanie was worried would come back into town
14:42so
14:50what you got there this this uh is just some fun facts about the tour
14:56that the company gave me say sort of like a guide for the guide
15:00which is me if the costume didn't give it away no no i i picked up on that right hey will you text
15:05me a copy of that after the tour i'm writing an article for the spectator and that'd be good to have
15:09uh yeah sure um so you're like a reporter an investigative reporter yes yeah cool i normally
15:16i'm out exposing corruption criminality raking muck as we say in the business but hey it's halloween
15:21everybody loves a ghost story right i'm leo stark by the way hi aaron green
15:25sarah something wrong no no it's just you may be my foster son's biological father is all
15:43the other one watching is uh sophia's beauty
15:45since the day he was born yeah to sorrow he's an absolute angel
15:54yeah we just got the dna results back actually um yeah i am the biological father oh
16:02how have you decided what you're gonna do
16:09wait up party people don't start the tour without me
16:15how dare you judge me i'm not judging you mrs charlie i'm empathizing with you
16:24i know what it feels like to believe you've done everything you possibly can for your child and
16:28still manage to fail them when they need you most we're in similar positions aren't we
16:40two parents estranged from the children we so desperately love so
16:48rather than being at odds perhaps we could help one another
16:53what exactly is it you expect me to help you with
17:06i wish i had your faith
17:10i have enough faith for both of us
17:13i uh i picked
17:23this up the other day from saxton's i thought it would be perfect for our son's first halloween
17:36mom always told me not to count my chickens but i just i couldn't help it
17:41i want this so badly
17:54i understand you've registered an objection with child services to prevent johnny and chanel from
17:59adopting sophia's baby i most certainly have
18:04you must have a lot of animosity toward me and my family but do you think we could table it for now
18:10so we can discuss what's best for our children i am doing what's best for sophia i'm carrying out her
18:18wishes her recent actions make it very clear that she does not want johnny and chanel to adopt her son
18:25tell me do you think she was of sound mind when she made that decision as i'm sure you're aware not so long
18:33ago sophia did want my son and his wife to adopt her baby and you gave them your blessing because you knew
18:40they were great people that was before johnny backed out and sent sophia into a tailspin
18:46again
18:48i think you're looking at it the wrong way
18:51are you denying the agony that your son has caused my daughter
18:55by changing his mind at the very last minute of course not
19:00i'm simply encouraging you to more closely examine why he did it
19:04who he did it for for himself obviously
19:09no
19:09he did it for the baby
19:16even then he put your grandson first johnny wasn't being selfish or cowardly he was having
19:24a dark night of the soul because of what he learned about me
19:28and that good person who you knew would be a great father was always there
19:34he was just questioning himself because of me
19:40johnny just needed some time to work through his fears and doubts
19:46to make sure that he was ready and now he is
19:51well good for him he can pursue a different child
19:54sofia's problem isn't really with johnny
20:03it's with me so please don't punish him for my sins
20:11i did this i ruined everything
20:16and i hate the pain that i've caused fear and you
20:20but knowing that i am the reason my son no longer has the chance to start a family of his own
20:32i have no greater regret
20:39if you withdraw your objection to johnny and chanel adopting your grandson
20:44i will stay away i mean that was one of your original conditions right that i remain completely out of the picture
20:54yes i was
20:58then you have my word
21:02that child will never know me
21:07no influence
21:10no contact
21:12nothing
21:15look
21:19it's too late for me and my son
21:23but not for you and your daughter
21:26she needs you now
21:30she needs her mother by her side making sure that she gets better so she can go off and
21:38fulfill all those dreams that you mentioned earlier
21:45mrs choi
21:48please
21:50i implore you
21:54devote your time and energy to sophia
21:58not for keeping her baby out of a home where he could not be more wanted or more
22:02not for keeping her baby out of a home
22:09i'm not making any promises
22:11mom
22:12she's like
22:16no
22:17she'll be
22:19she's she absolutely
22:20in the neighborhood
22:21she's like
22:22scared
22:23too
22:24she's not
22:24she's going to be
22:26she's, she's just a friend
22:26she's like
22:27she's
22:28she's like
22:29she's like
22:29she's like
22:30I'm not
22:31she's like
22:31she's like
22:32she's good
22:33she's like
22:34she's like
22:35so what went down between you two
22:49let's just say that i was really screwed up when i was younger
22:54but as stephanie knows i worked really hard to turn my life around
22:57i went to therapy i recommitted to my faith became a school teacher
23:02and that's all admirable but if stephanie knew that you're making all these positive changes
23:10why was she so worried about you coming to town i guess because of her history
23:16right and that's why she was acting so weird when she saw us together
23:20look yeah i thought you'd not be a good match but if all this is too much you want to call it a night
23:29totally get it
23:32talk about deja vu
23:36sorry
23:38well now since you've come clean about you and stephanie
23:44i think it's time for me to tell you about me and stephanie
23:50it wasn't enough that jeremy outed me as a romance writer now he's targeting my best friend
23:59damn it i should have warned her before they left
24:04look steph i know you said you didn't want to talk about this
24:11before but you mentioned that this guy was abusive
24:15if you think there's a chance that he could get rough with her or raise a fist at her
24:19i told you he never hit me
24:22maybe he obviously did something
24:24if it still rattled you after all of these years
24:27what is going on
24:30whatever it is you can tell me
24:33hey i would never judge you
24:38i'm ashamed
24:43you got nothing to be ashamed of
24:48you did nothing wrong
24:50jeremy used to get angry a lot
25:02one time he got so angry with me
25:08that he held my head underwater in a hot tub
25:13i didn't miss anything did i
25:27no no you're good
25:28oh no
25:29i have been dying to go on this tour
25:32oh

25:57fun
25:57if by live you mean forced to share a minuscule hotel room with zero electronic devices
26:02not even a stun gun i could use to zap myself into oblivion
26:04rather than listen to you drone on about old jimmy hiking the appalachian trail
26:07then yeah
26:08don't you love this guy's sense of humor
26:11leo and i were on a sequestered jury together and he's kidding about being miserable we had tons of fun
26:19uh whatever you say jam
26:21my name is adam
26:24who the heck is jam
26:26okay
26:30who is ready to get started
26:33i am
26:34i for one cannot wait
26:35to find out about all the murder and mayhem that happened right here in good old salem usa
26:41jeremy tried to drown you
26:49no
26:51it was it was a silly drinking game gone wrong
26:56he only held my head underwater for like a second
26:59but it still scared me
27:03of course it scared you steph it doesn't matter how much he had to drink
27:06it's a horrible thing to do
27:08did you tell anybody
27:11just a few close friends
27:14but alex you have to remember i was so young i didn't have much experience with guys
27:21being with him was
27:26confusing
27:29hmm
27:31how so
27:34his mood would change on a dime
27:39one second he would be
27:41furious over some stupid little thing
27:44and the next he would turn around and be incredibly sweet
27:47sounds like a real jekyll and hyde to me
27:51daphne dated your ex-husband
28:01unbeknownst to us
28:03now i know what you meant by deja vu
28:07look jeremy

28:12but this is just
28:14this is just hitting too close to the whole bobby situation
28:18getting involved with someone who used to date my best friend
28:22i just don't think it's a good idea
28:24my friendship with stephanie is
28:28very important to me

31:23okay guys so folks we have more spots to visit downtown
31:26but we're not done here
31:28okay so this is private property and i don't think the demeros would be very happy

31:34the kid's right i don't want to end up locked in some secret room or on the business end of a guillotine
31:39come on this estate is the size of wrigley field the demeros aren't even going to know that we're here
31:44let's go check out the family mausoleum
31:47what was that
31:52that was just the distraction i needed
32:02well i am happy to be of service
32:06i love you
32:11i love you too
32:14well that had to be stefano demero speaking to us from beyond the grave
32:23but the family mausoleum is right over here let's go pay him
32:27stefano is not in the mausoleum you dimwit they never found his body
32:30well then

33:11anything i can help you with
33:13you have done more than enough for my family thank you
33:19yeah okay i mean i guess
33:24you're gonna hear about it at some point
33:27um
33:28aaron just found out that he is the biological father of
33:36sophia choice baby
33:38oh is that so
33:41get it
33:49hey
33:54thank goodness you're back
33:56from my date
33:59with your ex
34:00jada i'm so sorry
34:02i should have said something
34:04snap it's okay
34:05really i just
34:06just can't believe that
34:08the app matched me with him
34:09what a crazy coincidence
34:11what
34:16we don't think it's that much of a coincidence
34:19jeremy may have specifically been looking for you
34:24i don't understand
34:26okay when he got back to town
34:30he came by
34:32to make peace
34:34with me
34:35he apologized for how he treated me in the past
34:39and he promised that he wouldn't interfere with my life in any way
34:44which is total bull because he then outed her as anastasia sins
34:47he did what
34:49he denies it but we're almost certain that jeremy told leo stark
34:54so despite whatever he says
34:55this guy's clearly harboring a whole lot of resentment towards stephanie
34:58he's actively trying to mess with her
35:00first the book
35:00now you
35:02on the date he
35:05seemed so normal
35:07he was easygoing
35:10funny
35:10he even shared some of his past
35:14what did he tell you
35:16well he didn't tell me any specifics but
35:19he did tell me that he was pretty screwed up
35:22when he was younger
35:23but that he's done a lot of work to
35:25get better
35:26is this the first time that you met him in person
35:30i mean kinda
35:31we matched online
35:33and we video chatted
35:35like maybe twice

35:47including
35:49you
35:51so he told you
35:54that he and stephanie dated
35:56yet he acted like he had no idea that
35:59you and stephanie knew each other
36:01you think he knew that going in
36:03i think it's very strange that
36:07of all the women
36:08on all the dating apps
36:10he happened to match with my best friend
36:13wow
