00:00Hey.
00:06Forget something?
00:08No. I just decided to work from home today.
00:12I think it's a much better scenery.
00:16You can look, but you can't touch. I've got so much work to do before this gala.
00:22This thing is distraction enough.
00:25I had to silence it. I was getting so many texts, I thought it was going to explode.
00:29Well, you better get used to the attention, babe.
00:33I don't get it. I mean, I'm...
00:35So what? I'm Anastasia Sands. It's not like I took my glasses off and suddenly I'm Superman.
00:41I think it's more of a Miley-Hannah Montana situation.
00:45Really, you should be proud that so much of Salem is invested in your book.
00:49It's a small price to pay, no?
00:52Talk to me again when you only have a few hours to do a week's worth of work.
00:56Well, speaking of prices to pay...
01:00Maybe this will help ease your frustration.
01:04Oh, good morning, Roman.
01:13Abe.
01:16Did you two get the photos that I texted?
01:19You know, I have not checked my texts lately.
01:23Me neither.
01:24Uh, photos of?
01:26The most beautiful little boy in the world, our grandson.
01:35And your great-grandson.
01:37Take a look at these photos, fellas.
01:40Well, it's a little early for that, don't you think?
01:52Oh, it's never too early to celebrate, Gwen. Please, join me in a toast.
01:58Ooh. What are we celebrating?
02:01You are looking at a newly-mentored grandfather.
02:06Johnny and Chanel have adopted a baby boy.
02:11Wonderful.
02:12Well, congratulations, Grandpa.
02:15I suppose it's customary for me to ask to see all the photos now.
02:22It would be, except I don't have any.
02:27What?
02:28Doesn't every grandparent take a slew of photos the first time they meet their grandchild?
02:33I suppose so.
02:35But I haven't met him yet.
02:38And I don't think I ever will.
02:59Gabby.
03:01Ah.
03:02Thanks for coming in so quickly.
03:04I won't make a habit out of calling meetings on such short notice, but like I said on the phone,
03:09we still have to iron out the final details of the divestiture of Gabby's sheet.
03:19Is something wrong?
03:21Bye.
03:22I lost Maggie.
03:23Continue.
03:24V
03:49Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.
04:10What's that?
04:12This is your first royalty check from One Stormy Night.
04:15And honestly, when I saw that many zeros, I thought I was seeing double after I got spiked over the head with that pumpkin last night.
04:22Are you sure you're not?
04:23Open it.
04:43I'm sorry.
04:45It's just that my family just gave up custody of our foster child.
04:51My stepsister and my cousin.
04:55Right.
04:57Amanda, you're upset.
04:59I shouldn't have called you in.
05:01It's okay.
05:03Really.
05:03Are you sure we can do this another time?
05:06No.
05:07No.
05:07Please.
05:07Please.
05:08I really would rather just focus on this right now.
05:12I want to keep busy.
05:13I need to.
05:13I understand that.
05:17So, how long is it going to take before Gabi Sheik is officially free and clear of Tamara?
05:23If I have my way...
05:26Forever.
05:39So, you're deprived of seeing your grandson, eh?
05:42I wasn't expecting otherwise.
05:47Hmm.
05:48But I'm sure that must be terribly distressing, still.
05:52Because I know you've told me that you've worked so hard to reconcile with Johnny.
05:57To no avail, unfortunately.
06:00Hmm.
06:01Well, I know you, Damaris, and you all really care about family, so I'm sure it will all work itself out in no time.
06:08Anyway, speaking of family, I'm girding my own loins because I hear that there's a wave of Hortons coming into town.
06:15I'm embracing myself as well.
06:16Oh, God, and the Braiders and the Blacks, they're about to descend on Salem as well.
06:21I'm sure it will be a Modlin tribute to John Black.
06:25It will be a rather large influx of holier-than-thou Dalits, yes.
06:29But I thought the more good PR for the hospital, the better.
06:38Hmm, right.
06:41Hmm, right.
06:43What?
06:46Well, is it possible that, um, perhaps you invited all those holier-than-thou Dalits to the gala because you might have an ulterior motive?
06:56An ulterior motive.
07:01And what would that mean?
07:04Sammy Brody?
07:07Is there perhaps, uh, an excuse there for you luring her back into town?
07:24Well...
07:25This goes without saying, uh, this is probably the single biggest paycheck I have ever gotten.
07:36So what are you going to do with all the scratch?
07:37You going to buy a race car?
07:39Well, it's probably not enough for one of those.
07:42But even if it were, my days of lusting after high-speed vehicles are long behind me.
07:49Oh, all right.
07:51Well, if you want to buy me a fast car.
07:52Oh!
07:53It could be my chauffeur.
07:55Oh, baby, I will drive you to all of your meet-and-greets.
07:57I am down for that.
07:59Hmm, or, um, how about you drive me off a cliff so I don't have to go to all those meet-and-greets?
08:04Or walk around town where people think I'm some sort of a celebrity.
08:09Hmm.
08:09Well, you are a celebrity, baby, so no turning back now.
08:14But I am sorry that you don't have enough free time to enjoy it more.
08:19Yeah, I don't know about enjoying it.
08:22I'm, uh, still working my way into, you know, tolerating it.
08:27Hopefully you can tolerate all around the country.
08:30What are you talking about?
08:33After the gala?
08:34You are hitting the road, my darling.
08:37Kate's got a massive book tour lined up for you.
08:39Oh, what?
08:42That's absurd.
08:44I am not trying to lure Samantha to Salem.
08:46I don't give a damn if she shows up or not.
08:51And what does that look?
08:55Just a bit sceptical, is all.
08:57About you not giving a damn if, uh, Sammy doesn't turn up,
09:01given the fact that the last time she was here for Johnny's trial, well,
09:06she snubbed you.
09:07And then before that, you were in a coma,
09:10so it must have been really frustrating to not have had
09:13any sort of interaction with her that was, um,
09:17substantial or, um,
09:19satisfying in many moons.
09:25Oh, first of all,
09:26I wasn't aware you were so familiar with my
09:29various encounters, or lack thereof,
09:32with Samantha or anyone else for that matter.
09:34What can I say? I keep a close ear to the ground.
09:37And your nose are my business?
09:40Come on, please.
09:41I would have had to live under a rock to not have known
09:44what had happened between you and Sammy.
09:45And given your history,
09:47I just assume that you had just a little bit of unfinished business,
09:50is all?
09:52Oh, it's finished.
09:53Believe me.
09:54Is that perhaps because Sammy can't find it in her heart to forgive you
10:05for all the abhorrent,
10:08horrible ways that you
10:10abused and neglected her?
10:13Hmm.
10:15Ooh, you do have a knack for winding me up.
10:18Ooh, I'll take that as a compliment.
10:20And now that we're on the topic of compliments,
10:22since I don't give them out very often,
10:23I have to say, I...
10:26I really admire Sammy's...
10:29doggedness, you know,
10:30her unwavering determination to just
10:32hold on to past wrongs.
10:36Yeah.
10:36From what I've heard,
10:37she can hold a grudge even longer than I can.
10:41Excuse me?
10:45You're not giving me Gabby Sheik?
10:47Of course not.
10:48Why would I want to do that?
10:52As far as I'm concerned,
10:53my Uncle Tony made a serious mistake
10:55when he said he let you take your company
10:56away from DeMira.
10:59Well, he didn't have much of a choice.
11:01Huh.
11:01If he hadn't,
11:02I would have gone to court
11:03to contest the dissolution of our agreements.
11:05You would have lost.
11:08It's a moot point now.
11:10Okay?
11:10The deal was offered and accepted.
11:13And look,
11:14I didn't come down here
11:15to rehash old disagreements.
11:17Fair enough.
11:18So,
11:21why don't we
11:22talk about
11:24a new agreement?
11:28What if
11:29I made you
11:30a serious
11:31offer?
11:33Ooh.
11:34Philip already tried that.
11:35Ooh.
11:36I said a
11:38serious
11:39offer.
11:40I've been fighting
11:49to regain control
11:51of Gabby Sheik
11:51for years.
11:53And now that I have it,
11:54I am determined
11:55that no one else
11:56will ever have it again.
11:57I see.
11:59I see.
12:01And I suppose
12:02all that's left
12:02is finishing up
12:03the paperwork.
12:05I'll have my assistant
12:06reach out
12:08when it's ready.
12:10Perfect.
12:11Mm-hmm.
12:12And thank you
12:14for being
12:15such a pleasure
12:15to not work for it.
12:16Oh.
12:22Something else?
12:23I gotta admit,
12:27I'm curious.
12:30Did Tony know
12:31you were asking me
12:31to stay on?
12:33Actually,
12:35it's kind of
12:38off the grid
12:40at the moment.
12:41That is a beautiful
12:48boy.
12:48What a great smile.
12:53Well,
12:53stop.
12:54Stop hugging
12:55those pictures,
12:56Abraham.
12:56Let me see.
12:58Oh, my God.
12:59Oh, wow.
12:59That is a great smile.
13:01Look at those gentles.
13:02This little guy
13:03is gonna have
13:03his pants
13:05wrapped around
13:05his little finger
13:07and his grandpa.
13:09And what about
13:10his great-grandparents?
13:12Us, too?
13:13For sure.
13:14Does this little guy
13:16have a name?
13:17Oh, yes, he does.
13:18His name is
13:19John the Third.
13:22Mm-hmm.
13:22Trey, for sure.
13:23And his middle name
13:24is Paul.
13:27After you, I assume?
13:29Yes.
13:30After me.
13:33For which I am so honored.
13:35Well,
13:36that is...
13:37This is just
13:38wonderful news,
13:40so...
13:40I think it calls
13:41for a toast.
13:42Come on.
13:44To Baby Tread.
13:46To Baby Tread.
13:48To Baby Tread.
14:01Stephanie,
14:01what is wrong?
14:02You knew about
14:02the book tour.
14:03Yeah,
14:04but not
14:04all over the country.
14:07Alex,
14:08I have a company.
14:09I can't just pick up
14:10and leave my other
14:11clients in the lurch.
14:13You will not do that.
14:14I promise you.
14:14We're gonna make it work
14:15for you and for your clients.
14:16You're the talent here.
14:18We are here to cater to you.
14:19And I'm the head
14:20of Titan Publishing,
14:20so you better believe
14:21I'm gonna make
14:22that tour short,
14:23because that works
14:24for me, too.
14:24I don't want to spend
14:27a minute longer
14:28than I have to
14:28away from you.
14:30Okay?
14:31Okay.
14:31Okay.
14:32Okay.
14:32Harvey.
14:43What are you doing home?
14:46You thought you were
14:47on shift today.
14:48I switched with Mitchell,
14:50but I'm gonna go on later.
14:53So you're just sitting
14:54here all alone?
14:55Yeah.
15:03Not anymore.
15:08Well,
15:09after seeing the
15:10new addition
15:11to the family,
15:12it makes me miss
15:12my own babies.
15:14Which is why
15:15I'm so glad
15:16that both Eric and Sammy
15:17are coming back
15:19for the
15:19clinic gallop.
15:21Yeah,
15:22sure you are, buddy.
15:22You know,
15:24we have a
15:24family reunion
15:26coming up ourselves.
15:28Yeah,
15:28yes we do.
15:29Eli and Lonnie
15:30are flying down.
15:31Oh, good.
15:31Always great to have
15:32the kids back
15:33in the nest,
15:34even when they
15:35bring their drama
15:36home with them.
15:38And they don't
15:39share it with you.
15:47So you find it
15:48admirable
15:49to hold a grudge,
15:50to be bitter
15:51and unforgiving.
15:55Well,
15:55I don't know,
15:56it depends on
15:57what has caused
15:59the grudge holder
16:00to be bitter
16:02and unforgiving.
16:04I mean,
16:04if the transgression
16:05is really serious,
16:06then yes,
16:07I'm all for
16:08a bit of bitterness
16:09and unwillingness
16:11to forgive.
16:12So in the case
16:13of your
16:13ex-wife,
16:16I hope dear,
16:17I've said enough,
16:17haven't I?
16:18Indeed you have.
16:19more than enough.
16:22So how about
16:23we call a moratorium
16:25on discussing
16:26personal matters
16:27that are irrelevant
16:28to you
16:29and none of your
16:29damn business?
16:31The moratorium
16:32shall be upheld.
16:34Excellent.
16:36Then,
16:37let's talk about
16:38our preparations
16:38for the clinic gala.
16:40Oh,
16:40nothing to really
16:41talk about there,
16:42since your assistant,
16:43Rita,
16:43she's very
16:44officious,
16:45by the way,
16:46but I also find
16:46her to be
16:47very efficient,
16:48so everything
16:49should go off
16:49without a hitch.
16:51So you two
16:51have come up
16:52with a plan
16:53to keep
16:53prying eyes
16:54away from the clinic
16:55while we
16:56smuggle in
16:57the supplies
16:58we need?
16:59A foolproof plan,
17:00yes.
17:03And
17:03have we
17:05squared away
17:06our power supply?
17:07Yes,
17:08we've got
17:08everything we need,
17:09so we shouldn't
17:10have any more
17:10complications.
17:11Hi,
17:22is this
17:23Mr.
17:23Spropulus?
17:26Hi,
17:26this is
17:26Theo Carver,
17:27Tony DeMira's
17:28nephew and the
17:28CEO of
17:29DeMira
17:30Enterprises.
17:33Well,
17:33I'm calling
17:33because I
17:34heard your
17:35meeting with
17:35my uncle
17:36Tony ran
17:36long,
17:37which caused
17:37him to
17:38miss the
17:38boarding of
17:39his cruise
17:39ship,
17:39and I
17:40was hoping
17:40that you
17:41could get
17:42him a
17:42message
17:42for me.
17:49What?
18:02Alex.
18:03Oh,
18:04I know,
18:05I know,
18:06I know,
18:06I know,
18:07I am a
18:07distraction.
18:08Okay,
18:08I will go
18:08work quietly
18:09in the
18:10corner by
18:10myself,
18:11I will
18:11not
18:11hear a
18:11peep.
18:12Even if
18:13I do
18:13get messages
18:14from
18:14Titan PR
18:15talking about
18:16glowing reviews
18:17or off-the-chart
18:18sales for
18:19write-out.
18:20Yes,
18:21even if.
18:23I do not
18:24need to hear
18:24about those.
18:26Don't want it
18:26to go to my
18:27head.
18:28Heaven forbid.
18:32But I do
18:32think if I am
18:34going to get
18:34any work done,
18:35I'm going to
18:35need some
18:36more coffee.
18:37Ah,
18:37coming right
18:38up,
18:38Miss
18:38Sence.
18:39Oh,
18:40and I did
18:41bring home
18:42some of
18:42Chanel's pastries
18:43from last
18:43night.
18:44Really?
18:44I thought
18:45those were
18:45all cleared
18:45out.
18:46Most were,
18:47so there's
18:47not many.
18:48But I know
18:49I've said it
18:50before,
18:50but Alex,
18:52last night
18:53was so
18:55perfect.
18:57Well,
18:58practically
18:58perfect.
19:00Practically?
19:00I'm sorry
19:04that you've
19:04been dealing
19:05with this
19:05by yourself
19:06today.
19:07It's okay.
19:09And yeah,
19:09it's not like
19:10we didn't know
19:11that the day
19:11was going to
19:11come when
19:12we were
19:12going to
19:12have to
19:12part ways
19:13with little
19:13T.
19:15Yeah.
19:16But even
19:17so,
19:17you know,
19:18as much as
19:18Rafe and
19:19Ari and I
19:20adored him,
19:21you and
19:22Leo had
19:22essentially
19:23been his
19:23fathers.
19:26Yeah.
19:26And I
19:27know that
19:28for you,
19:30letting him
19:31go,
19:32it has to
19:32bring back
19:32losing
19:33Solana.
19:35Yeah,
19:36it does.
19:36Yes.
19:38But on
19:39a positive
19:40note,
19:41Johnny and
19:42Chanel are
19:43going to
19:43give him
19:43a wonderful
19:44new
19:45family.
19:47So,
19:49I'm really
19:50happy for
19:51him.
19:52Me too.
19:54That doesn't
19:55mean that
19:56our hearts
19:56aren't broken
19:57and that
19:57we won't
19:57have him

20:10and eating
20:11him and
20:12bathing him
20:13and singing
20:14to him.
20:17It was
20:17great having
20:18him here
20:18in our
20:19home.
20:20It was
20:20a blessing.
20:24It really
20:24was.
20:26But
20:28it's
20:30great
20:31that
20:31Johnny and
20:32Chanel
20:32have
20:32made
20:33you
20:33and
20:33Leo
20:33as
20:33godfathers.
20:35Yeah.
20:37Yeah,
20:38it is.
20:39Yeah.
20:40Little T
20:41is very
20:42lucky
20:42that you
20:43and Leo
20:43are going
20:43to be in
20:44this life
20:44forever.
20:46We're the
20:47lucky ones.
20:47well, I
20:51have to get
20:52over to my
20:52little tutoring
20:54session with
20:54Liam Sleiko.
20:56Well, I hope
20:59it goes well.
21:00He's very
21:00lucky to have
21:01such a wonderful
21:01tutor.
21:04I'll see you
21:10later,
21:10Parker.
21:11Yeah, we'll
21:12see you.
21:12as you
21:22can see
21:23that Abe
21:24is a little
21:25upset with
21:25me.
21:26That was
21:27pretty obvious.
21:29Well, it's
21:30all because
21:31Theo told
21:32me a few
21:33things that
21:33he did
21:34not tell
21:34his father.
21:36I see.
21:38You know,
21:39it turns
21:39out it's
21:39a slippery
21:40slope to
21:41keep your
21:42stepson's
21:43confidence
21:43and then
21:44confide in
21:45your husband.
21:46You mean
21:47like knowing
21:47that Theo
21:48was considering
21:49working for
21:50the men?
21:52Look, I
21:52know you
21:53want to
21:53support Theo.
21:55All right,
21:56but I gotta
21:56say I
21:57understand
21:57why Abe
21:58is upset.
21:59Paulina,
22:00you don't
22:01know the
22:02Demeras
22:02the way
22:03we do.
22:04You better
22:04believe I
22:05am well
22:06versed in
22:07Demera
22:07criminal
22:08history.
22:08I am
22:08sure you
22:09are,
22:09but reading
22:10police reports
22:11is a far
22:12cry from
22:12living
22:13through it.
22:14Yeah,
22:14maybe so,
22:16but Theo
22:17is a
22:17sensible
22:18young man
22:19and I'm
22:20sure if
22:20he finds
22:20himself in
22:21over his
22:22head,
22:22he can
22:22find his
22:23way out.
22:24You
22:24are quite
22:25the optimist,
22:26Paulina.
22:27Yeah,
22:28well,
22:28this is
22:29in my
22:29nature
22:30to keep
22:30the face,
22:31you know,
22:32look on
22:32the bright
22:32side.
22:34Um,
22:34I thought
22:36the Brady
22:36clan were
22:36optimistic,
22:37too.
22:38Well,
22:38speaking for
22:38myself,
22:39I'm more
22:39of a realist
22:40and my
22:41concern is
22:42yes.
22:43Theo is
22:44capable of
22:45getting himself
22:45out of trouble,
22:47but by then
22:48it could be
22:49too late.
22:50go on,
22:54fill me up,
22:55big lad.
22:57I thought
22:57it was
22:58too early.
23:00Well,
23:00I'm just
23:00getting a
23:01jump start
23:01on the
23:01proverbial
23:02three
23:02martini
23:02lunch.
23:04Uncle
23:04E.J.,
23:05I'm glad
23:05you're here.
23:06Theo.
23:07Hello,
23:07Gwen.
23:08Theo?
23:08I have
23:09news about
23:09Uncle
23:10Tony.
23:11What news?
23:12Well,
23:12it was like
23:12you said,
23:13Aunt Anna
23:13reported that
23:14he didn't
23:15make it in
23:16time to
23:16reboard the
23:16ship in
23:17Athens
23:17because he
23:18was detained
23:18at a
23:18business
23:19meeting
23:19and he's
23:19supposed to
23:20board the
23:21ship at
23:21the next
23:21border call.
23:22Which is in
23:22Mekonus,
23:23right?
23:24Well,
23:25I spoke to
23:25the man he
23:26had the
23:26meeting with.
23:27Turns out
23:27the meeting
23:27did not
23:28go over.
23:30He had
23:30plenty of
23:30time to
23:31make it
23:31back to
23:32the ship.
23:33Huh.
23:36Who the
23:37hell is he?
23:48Well,
23:48last I
23:49would have
23:50been perfect
23:50except for
23:51the part
23:51where you
23:52got knocked
23:52out by a
23:53pumpkin.
23:53Oh,
23:54right,
23:54yeah,
23:54I definitely
23:55could have
23:55done without
23:55that part.
23:56But it
23:57just goes to
23:57show there
23:58is no
23:58limit to
23:59what that
24:00son of a
24:00bitch would
24:02do to
24:02try and
24:03undermine
24:03me.
24:03That
24:04son of a
24:04bitch?
24:05Alex,
24:05Thomas was
24:06the one
24:06who hit
24:06you.
24:06Well,
24:07no,
24:07I mean,
24:08Thomas wouldn't
24:08have been
24:09able to
24:09chuck a
24:09pumpkin if
24:10it wasn't
24:10for Jeremy.
24:11Yeah,
24:12yeah,
24:12no,
24:12I suppose
24:13he did
24:14facilitate the
24:15situation.
24:16Damn right
24:17he did.
24:19It's another
24:20reason why
24:20I'm glad
24:21you're going
24:21on this
24:21book tour.
24:23Create some
24:23space between
24:24you and
24:24him.
24:27I guess
24:28that is
24:28one silver
24:29lining.
24:32Thanks,
24:32Kat.
24:33I'm so
24:34glad that
24:34you're here.
24:36But it's
24:37the middle
24:37of the day.
24:38What are
24:38you doing
24:39here?
24:40Well,
24:41you are
24:41not the
24:42only one
24:42with an
24:43unpredictable
24:43schedule.
24:44Well,
24:45right,
24:45you must
24:45be so
24:46busy now
24:46that you
24:47have
24:47the
24:47company
24:47back.
24:48And I
24:48gotta say
24:49that I
24:49am so
24:49proud of
24:50you,
24:50Prima,
24:51for tearing
24:51away
24:51Gabby
24:52Sheik
24:52from the
24:52big bad
24:53De Neres.
24:54But you
24:56never
24:57mentioned
24:57to me
24:58how you
24:58managed
24:59to pull
24:59that off.
25:03What?
25:03Why aren't
25:03you saying
25:04anything?
25:08Javi,
25:09there is
25:11something
25:11that I
25:12have been
25:12dying
25:13to tell
25:14someone.
25:15So if I
25:15tell you,
25:17it has
25:18to stay
25:18under the
25:18cone of
25:19silence,
25:19understand?
25:20I
25:20understand.
25:21You know
25:21I always
25:21respect the
25:22cone.
25:23Okay.
25:25The thing
25:26is,
25:26is that
25:27I thought
25:29I was
25:29going to be
25:30Damaris'
25:30next CEO.
25:31What?
25:33Yeah.
25:34But spoiler
25:35alert,
25:36I'm not.
25:37instead,
25:39I wound
25:39up with
25:39Gabby Sheik
25:40as my
25:40consolation
25:41prize.
25:43Wait,
25:44CEO of
25:45Demira?
25:46That was
25:47the big
25:47job that
25:47he told
25:48me about?
25:49Yeah,
25:49it was.
25:51Okay,
25:52so what
25:52happened?
25:55Well,
25:56Tony came
25:56to me and
25:57he said
25:58that he
25:58needed my
25:59help in
25:59order to
25:59wrest back
26:00control of
26:01Demira from
26:01the
26:02Kyriakuses.
26:02And in
26:05exchange,
26:05he promised
26:06me the
26:06top spot.
26:08And let
26:08me guess,
26:09that snake
26:09somehow managed
26:10to slither his
26:11way out of
26:12keeping his
26:12promise.
26:13Yeah,
26:14he did.
26:16He totally
26:17betrayed my
26:17trust.
26:19Damn.
26:21But hey,
26:22you know,
26:23I know
26:24that
26:25Tony screwed
26:26you over,
26:27but maybe
26:28it was for
26:30the best.
26:32because now
26:34you don't
26:34have to work
26:35with Demira
26:35anymore.
26:39What?
26:41Silence again?
26:43Gavi,
26:43talk to me.
26:46Come to
26:47silence.
26:48Always.
26:49But promise
26:50me that you
26:50won't drop
26:51another bombshell
26:51on me because
26:52I don't know
26:53if my sensitive
26:53heart can
26:54take it.
26:55You know
26:55what?
26:56Maybe I
26:56shouldn't.
26:57What?
26:58No!
26:59No,
26:59no,
26:59no,
27:00no,
27:00no.
27:00Don't leave
27:01me hanging.
27:02Okay.
27:08Well,
27:08the other
27:09bombshell
27:09is that
27:10Philip and
27:11I have
27:11started seeing
27:12each other.
27:15I don't
27:16get it.
27:17Why would
27:18Tony miss
27:18boarding his
27:19ship if the
27:19meeting ended
27:20on time?
27:21Makes no
27:22sense,
27:22right?
27:24Perhaps
27:24Anna misunderstood
27:25Tony's original
27:26message.
27:27This could be.
27:28Nobody gets
27:29their wires crossed
27:30quite like that
27:30woman.
27:31Or maybe
27:32Tony left
27:35his meeting
27:35on time
27:36but was
27:36somehow
27:37detained
27:37before he
27:38reached the
27:38pier.
27:40I suppose
27:41that could
27:41be right.
27:42Well,
27:42the ship
27:43isn't coming
27:43into port
27:44in Mykonos
27:44for a few
27:44days.
27:45I'm sure
27:45he'll be
27:45there when
27:46it does.
27:47But just
27:48in case,
27:48I'll contact
27:49the authorities
27:49to let them
27:50know the
27:50latest.
27:51Great.
27:51thank you.
27:54And I'm
27:55glad you
27:55stopped by,
27:56Thea.
27:57What,
27:58with Tony
27:58gone,
27:58remember,
27:59if you
27:59need help
28:00with the
28:00mirror,
28:00I'm here
28:01for you.
28:02Thanks.
28:03But I
28:04have it
28:05under control.
28:13Your move,
28:13Unc.
28:14Now.
28:29I think
28:34pumpkin
28:34will come
28:34out of
28:34Irish linen?
28:38I think
28:39that might
28:40be what
28:40one would
28:40call a
28:41distraction.
28:44Right.
28:44I'm sorry.
28:46That was
28:46worth a try.
28:48My cleaner
28:49does work
28:50wonders,
28:51but I
28:53don't know
28:53if he's
28:53going to be
28:53able to do
28:54anything
28:54with this.
28:56How the
28:56hell did
28:56I even
28:56do this?
28:57Did I,
28:57like,
28:57split this
28:58when I
28:58fell?
29:01Uh,
29:02huh,
29:02it doesn't
29:03look like
29:03a tear.
29:04It looks
29:05like you
29:06sliced it
29:07on something.
29:09Maybe those
29:10razor blades
29:10and Halloween
29:11candies wasn't
29:11just an
29:12urban myth
29:12after all.
29:14Are you
29:14sure that
29:14slits
29:15wasn't
29:15there
29:15before?
29:18I think
29:19I'd know
29:19if I saw
29:20that one
29:21stuff,
29:21but,
29:22um,
29:23I don't
29:23have any
29:23other
29:23explanation.
29:26You
29:26and
29:26Philip,
29:27huh?
29:28Well,
29:29he does
29:29check the
29:31could buy
29:31a small
29:31country
29:32and
29:33walking
29:34heartthrob
29:34boxes.
29:35Yeah.
29:37He also
29:37happens to
29:38be very
29:38smart and
29:39funny.
29:39and if
29:41the truth
29:41ever came
29:42out about
29:42my helping
29:43DeMera,
29:43he's going
29:43to drop
29:44me like
29:44a hot
29:44rock.
29:45Yeah,
29:46I guess
29:46he would,
29:47but also,
29:48let me guess,
29:49I am not
29:50the only one
29:50that knows
29:50that you
29:51did a solid
29:52for the
29:52enemy,
29:53right?
29:53Molotone,
29:54of course.
29:56And Theo.
29:57So I just
29:58have to count
29:58on them
29:59to keep
29:59quiet,
30:00which frankly
30:00makes me
30:01very nervous.
30:02Well,
30:02yeah,
30:02they have
30:02no incentive
30:03to do so,
30:04and I'd be
30:04nervous too.
30:06But there
30:07is one way
30:07that you
30:07wouldn't have
30:08to worry.
30:09maybe if
30:11you just
30:11tell Philip
30:13the truth?
30:15No.
30:16No,
30:17it wouldn't.
30:17That is a
30:17terrible idea,
30:18Javi.
30:19No one
30:20can ever
30:21find out
30:21what I did.
30:24Dad,
30:25you're in a
30:25little shopping.
30:27Hmm?
30:28Yes,
30:29well,
30:29I'm supposed
30:29to be at
30:30my tutoring
30:31session,
30:32but my new
30:33mentee
30:33stood me up.
30:34Oh.
30:35Sorry to
30:36hear that.
30:37No?
30:38I went out
30:38and I bought
30:39a gift
30:39for Trey.
30:41This is what
30:42Johnny and
30:42Chanel are
30:43calling their
30:43son.
30:45Short for
30:46John III.
30:49I liked it.
30:50That way they
30:50can still call
30:50him
30:51Le Toti.
30:52Ah,
30:53right,
30:54right,
30:55right.
30:55So,
30:56what are you
30:56doing out for a
30:57stroll?
30:58I thought you'd
30:58be at the
30:58office.
30:59I was,
30:59but I
31:00needed to
31:01talk to EJ.
31:02About what?
31:03My uncle
31:06Tony.
31:07He's missing.
31:09What?
31:10Missing?
31:11Him and my
31:12Aunt Anna
31:12were on a
31:13cruise ship.
31:14We got to
31:14Athens,
31:15he got off
31:15and apparently
31:16never got back
31:16on,
31:17but we're
31:17hoping that
31:18he gets on
31:18the ship
31:19at the
31:19next port
31:19of call.
31:21So,
31:22in the meantime,
31:22EJ offered to
31:23help me out
31:24while Tony is
31:24out of touch.
31:25Ah,
31:25and you don't
31:26have to say it,
31:26I already know
31:27what you're
31:27thinking.
31:28It's a
31:29terrible idea.
31:31I agree.
31:32That's why I
31:33turned him down.
31:36I'm sorry if
31:36you...
31:37I have to
31:37get back to
31:38work.
31:50You know,
31:52you don't seem
31:54terribly concerned
31:55about, uh,
31:56Tony's
31:57disappearance,
31:57do you?
31:59Tony has a
32:00habit of going
32:00off the grid,
32:01and if I were
32:02married to Anna,
32:03I'd probably
32:03do the same.
32:04Oh, yes,
32:05that woman is
32:05very annoying.
32:07But I love her.
32:09I have also
32:10heard that Tony
32:11is quite the
32:11control freak,
32:12but, um,
32:13given how green
32:14Theo is in
32:15Running DiMera,
32:16I'm surprised
32:16that he didn't
32:17give him more
32:17of a guiding
32:18hand.
32:20Maybe Tony
32:21has more faith
32:22in Theo than
32:22you do.
32:24Perhaps more
32:25than you do,
32:26too.
32:26Oh, but
32:28how very gallant
32:29of you for
32:30stepping in
32:30and helping
32:32and being so
32:33supportive.
32:34I'm sure you
32:34had no ulterior
32:35motive.
32:37I didn't have
32:38any ulterior
32:39motives, Gwen.
32:42Tony gave me
32:43the opportunity
32:43to be involved
32:44in the company,
32:45and I turned
32:46him down.
32:47So I'm hardly
32:47interested in
32:49being involved
32:49with DiMera,
32:50if that's what
32:50you're insinuating.
32:52And just in case
32:52you forgot,
32:53I am very
32:54busy with
32:55the hospital.
32:56Hmm.
32:58Are you sure
32:59you had nothing
33:00to do with
33:00Tony's disappearance?
33:03Why the hell
33:04would you ask
33:04me that?
33:06Oh, I don't
33:06know.
33:07Maybe because
33:08you and I did
33:09such a bang-up
33:10job of making
33:12Dimitri vanish
33:13into thin air
33:13that I wouldn't
33:14be surprised if
33:15you did the same
33:16bang-up job
33:17of making your
33:18own brother
33:19disappear.
33:20Disappear.
