00:01So, how's Chicago?
00:03Please tell me you got a chance to see the great tree and take pictures.
00:06I want to show our son what an authentic Shawtown Christmas looks like.
00:11No, no, he's not with me right now.
00:13Mama and Abe came over to babysit so that I could wrap up some things at the bakery.
00:17And oh, I almost forgot. I stopped in at Saxton's and I found the cutest baby's first Christmas ornament.
00:25I can't wait to show you.
00:27Okay, very humble.
00:30I love you more.
00:34Hey, you.
00:36And Sarah.
00:37Hey.
00:38I didn't expect to see you here.
00:40Yeah, well, I'm just dropping some stuff off from the dorm.
00:43They pack up shop like right after finals are done, so.
00:46Just bringing everything over to pack.
00:48My goodness, I can't believe it.
00:50Your first semester of college is almost done and now you're off to Paris, you lucky devil.
00:54Yeah, I know.
00:56I'm really excited to see my mom and Eric and Jude, though.
00:59But you know I'm gonna miss you.
01:01And Victoria, and of course grandma.
01:03Of course.
01:04And perhaps maybe a certain handsome young man with the initials TB.
01:09Yeah.
01:10Yeah.
01:11Yeah.
01:12Yeah.
01:13Yeah.
01:14Yeah.
01:15What's up, dad?
01:16Hey, are you done with your shift by any chance?
01:20I am.
01:21I was just actually on my way to go see Holly.
01:24You here for dinner?
01:25Uh, no.
01:26No, no.
01:27Actually, I needed to talk to you about something.
01:30Okay.
01:31Is it about Rachel?
01:32Is everything okay?
01:33In a roundabout way, it's about Rachel.
01:36What does that mean?
01:38What's going on?
01:40I'm moving out of the townhouse.
01:47I should really teach you some games other than war.
01:54Who would have thought it would get so boring?
01:56Sorry.
01:57All I know is war, go fish, and Texas hold'em.
02:03Are you okay?
02:06Yeah.
02:07I'm just starving.
02:09Dinner was so gross, I barely ate anything.
02:13You're not a fan of burnt fish sticks and lukewarm cream corn?
02:18I didn't think so.
02:21I don't know about you, but I'd really kill for a buddy's burger right now.
02:27Sorry, that was a really bad choice of words.
02:31I'm not a baby, Sophia.
02:32I can handle hearing words.
02:35Hey, I'll ask my dad to bring us some buddies when he comes tomorrow.
02:41I have a better idea.
02:44What if I went out and snagged us some burgers right now?
02:51The book signing went extremely well.
02:56The turnout was huge.
02:59And, uh, my fans were all super nice.
03:04I know. I know. The second I said it, it felt weird.
03:08My fans.
03:12Of course, I know. You were my very first fan, Papa.
03:17Uh, no. No. No Chicago sightseeing for me.
03:24I am in for the night.
03:29Okay. Okay. Love you, too.
03:47I am in for the night.
03:49Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.
03:54Why? Like, why are you moving out?
04:09Your grandmother and I are not seen eye to eye lately when it comes to your sister.
04:18And I don't think it's a very good idea that we're living under the same roof right now.
04:21Dad, that doesn't make any sense. Grandma Marlena has always had your back, especially when it comes to Rachel.
04:27So tell me, what is really going on here?
04:29That's between me and your grandma.
04:34All right. I just, I just think it's, uh, it's for the best.
04:37Oh. Well.
04:39Yeah. Not for me.
04:41Okay. Trust me. Okay. It's a long time coming that I get my own place, all right?
04:44I got realtors looking right now for available properties.
04:48Okay. So it's, it's probably going to take you a while to find a place, right? It's not like you're moving out right away.
04:59Actually, I'll be, uh, I'll be leaving tonight.
05:03Oh. Wow. Okay. All right. So where are you going to live in the meantime?
05:09So, bet Victoria's excited for Christmas?
05:17Well, yeah. She, um, she really likes all of the colorful lights and the decorations in the square.
05:25She is not so sure about the Santa guy.
05:29Look at me. I get it.
05:32When I was her age, I was, like, terrified of Santa.
05:34Yes.
05:35Like, my mom loves to tell the story of how I screamed bloody murder when she took me to take pictures with him in the jolly house at Ballistics.
05:43Okay. So maybe I'll wait a couple of years before I subject her to it.
05:47I think that's probably a good idea.
05:49So what are your plans tonight? What do you, what do you have going on?
05:53Um, Kate's going to meet me back at the dorms. We just want to spend as much time together as possible before I head to Paris.
05:59Hmm. I know you guys are going to miss each other. But you're not really gone that long, so.
06:06And I'm, I'm glad that you two work things out between you.
06:10Yeah. Yeah, I am too.
06:13You know, for what it's worth, I wish that you and Santa were able to do that too.
06:19And I know because of that, it's, it's probably going to feel like a sad Christmas this year.
06:25Yeah. Um, it will. Yeah.
06:30But you know, Xander and I are just, we're not meant to be.
06:37So it's, it's definitely a good thing that we aren't together anymore.
06:41I heard you signed the divorce papers.
06:45Yeah, we did. We did. Um, we don't have the official divorce decree yet, but it's just a matter of time before I finally get to move on with my life without Xander in it.
06:59So do you have like an invisibility cloak or something?
07:12No, but it's called confidence.
07:15So you're just going to walk right out of here and stroll over to Buddy's for a couple of combo meals?
07:20Bingo. And guess what? My brave little friend, you're going to help me do it.
07:31Hey, Mama, I'm home.
07:33Shh. Not so loud. I just got John Paul's little howling behind off to sleep.
07:40Sorry.
07:42Aw, thank you, Mama. I hope he wasn't too much trouble.
07:50Oh, are you kidding?
07:54None of my grandbabies are in any trouble.
07:58And who cares if little trees and screams they could give Mariah Carey a run for her whistle register?
08:08Music to my ears.
08:10Well, he is so lucky to have the most sweet, patient grandmother on the planet.
08:18Not as patient as his grandpa.
08:20Abe spent an hour last night walking that child off to sleep singing to him, too.
08:27Oh, my God. Well, speaking of his very patient grandpa, where is he?
08:31I thought that he was going to stay and help you watch him.
08:34Um, but he's not here.
08:37Look, baby, there's something I need to tell you.
08:41It's about Theo.
08:43What about Theo?
08:45No one seems to know where he is.
08:50No!
08:52No!
08:53Oh my god, Alex, you scared me to death!
09:22I am so sorry, babe.
09:24Well, why would you do that? Why would you sneak in here like that?
09:27I wanted to surprise the love of my life. That's all.
09:33Surprise.
09:41So you're moving into Maggie's house tonight?
09:45It's just temporary, all right?
09:47But yes, she generously offered me a room there as long as I need it.
09:52What am I supposed to do, Dad? The dorms are closing for the holidays.
09:56I want you to understand, this has nothing to do with you, this tension with your grandmother and me and my change of living situation.
10:05Okay.
10:07And I, listen, I know I speak for your grandmother when I say you can stay at the town hall, if that's what you want to do.
10:14I, I, I don't know what I want to do right now.
10:20I get that. I know it's sudden and it's a lot to take in, but, uh...
10:24It's entirely up to you, but I, honestly, I was kind of hoping that you might want to come over to the Kiriakis estate with your old man.
10:33At least I would have one of my kids with me during the holidays.
10:42So, since day one, I've been scoping this place out, right?
10:52Looking for little cracks in the security.
10:55And I think that I found one.
10:58What is it?
11:00Well, there's this one orderly who always sneaks smoke breaks on the night shift when he thinks that everyone else is asleep.
11:05And I watched him for a bunch of nights, and then, one night, I followed him.
11:10Whoa. And he didn't get caught?
11:13No, that guy's totally clueless.
11:16But get this. He always leaves the door propped open so that his key card doesn't get logged.
11:21And then, he takes a walk around the block so that no one will see the smoke.
11:26That sounds kind of smart, actually.
11:30No. What's smart is the person who takes advantage of him.
11:34Me.
11:36Thanks to that loser, I can sneak out, grab us some grub, and be back before anyone even knows what I'm missing.
11:41But, in order for me to do that, I'm going to need someone to have my back.
11:46And that's where you come in.
11:51Theo is missing?
11:52Well, for how long? When did this happen?
11:55Well, nobody knows.
11:56Aby went out to join the search, but, baby, there's more.
12:01Well, what more?
12:02Chad is also unaccounted for.
12:05What? He's missing, too?
12:07Yeah, he is.
12:08And given that Tony also went missing in Greece, the police and the FBI, they think somebody could be targeting the DiMero family.
12:17Oh, my God.
12:20Well, if somebody is targeting the DiMero's, then that means that Johnny might be next.
12:27Or me.
12:29Or our son.
12:30I could have hurt you, Alex.
12:39Yeah, yeah.
12:41This definitely would have done more damage than our flying pumpkin.
12:44Yeah, it could have.
12:47And I am mad as hell that you would do that to me.
12:55I'm also really happy that you're here.
12:57Okay, see, now, that was the welcome that I was expecting.
13:03Okay.
13:03See, now, that was the welcome that I was expecting.
13:07Oh, excuse me.
13:33Aren't you forgetting something?
13:35What?
13:37I don't know.
13:38Like, maybe kissing your girlfriend hello.
13:41I'm sorry.
13:45Hi.
13:46Hi.
13:47I was just a million miles away.
13:50Yeah, I could see that.
13:51Is everything okay?
13:53Yeah, and no.
13:55Um, did you know my dad was moving into your grandma's house?
14:02What?
14:04No, no, I didn't know that.
14:06Wait, no, I was just there.
14:07My aunt didn't say anything about it.
14:12What's going on?
14:13Well, apparently something went down between my dad and my grandmother.
14:19So, they, like, had a fight?
14:22Yeah, but he wouldn't tell me what it was about.
14:24But whatever it was, it was bad enough that he's moving out.
14:28He said he can't even be under the same roof as her.
14:30Sarah, hey.
14:43Brady.
14:46What's all this?
14:48Maggie didn't tell you.
14:51I've been at work all day.
14:53Didn't tell me what.
14:54Um, I'm moving in.
15:02I just talked to Johnny.
15:04He didn't say anything about any of this.
15:06Well, obviously he didn't know what was going on when he was on the phone with you.
15:10But now he does.
15:11And he's already on his way home from Chicago.
15:14Protecting you and little Trey, that is the only thing on his mind.
15:18Yeah, and thank God he's on his way home.
15:20But the thought of something happening to him, too.
15:22No, don't, don't even go there.
15:24I promise you, I will do everything in my power to make sure you and your family are safe.
15:31I'm not going to let any, anything hurt you, my doll.
15:35Nothing.
15:41Well, I gotta say, baby, those are some impressive moves of the steak knife.
15:45Those are some black ops type stuff.
15:47Well, I am my father's daughter.
15:50Yes, you are.
15:50And how did your father's daughter do at the book signing?
15:57Very well.
15:59Went off without a hitch.
16:00Good.
16:01No signs of creepy letter writing guy?
16:04No.
16:05No.
16:05Told you.
16:06Nothing to worry about.
16:10Yeah.
16:11What?
16:13What are you thinking?
16:14No, it's just, he sent more swarmy letters.
16:19And honestly, it's making my skin crawl just thinking about this guy fantasizing about you
16:23or doing whatever the hell he's doing.
16:24Well, like I said, Alex, he's just an overzealous, harmless fan.
16:31He's probably going to send me a lot of lame love letters, which I will, of course, ignore.
16:38Yeah.
16:39Fine.
16:40I'm sure he probably is harmless, but I just wanted to make sure you were okay and see it
16:46with my own eyes.
16:47Well, as you can see, I am perfectly fine.
16:52Oh, you are a lot more than fine.
16:56You're perfect.
16:57What exactly would I have to do?
17:09Well, it's simple.
17:11I just need you to go to my bed and pull the covers over your head so that the nurse thinks
17:16that I'm already asleep when she comes by for bed check.
17:18And then you need to come back to your room and make sure that you're accounted for when
17:22she comes for you.
17:23And then when the nurse goes back to the nurse's station, you just have to let me in through
17:28the side door and then we feast.
17:31Easy peasy, right?
17:33I don't know.
17:35I thought that you said that you were hungry.
17:38I am.
17:40But not for a juicy buddy's burger with melted cheese and mushrooms.
17:51I like mine with jalapenos.
17:53Whoa.
17:55You're hardcore, Rachel.
17:59And you know they have really amazing fries there, too?
18:02Like very crispy.
18:04And we can order milkshakes.
18:06You like milkshakes, don't you?
18:08Yeah.
18:09But only chocolate.
18:10Oh, totally.
18:11It's got to be chocolate.
18:14So what do you say?
18:16Are you in?
18:19I'm in.
18:21Let's do this.
18:22Listen, uh, not to worry.
18:44I'm not going to be here forever.
18:46It's only until I can find a place.
18:49I wasn't worried.
18:52There's plenty of space here and it'll be nice to have your company.
18:55I'm just surprised I didn't realize that you were thinking about moving out of Marlena's.
18:59Well, it wasn't until recently.
19:04What?
19:04Um, okay.
19:05What happened?
19:06Can I ask?
19:08Sure.
19:08Uh, I'll tell you, I found out that Marlena not only knew that Rachel had shot EJ, but that she kept it from me for months.
19:19What?
19:21Yeah.
19:21That doesn't sound like Marlena.
19:23Uh, she said she did it to protect Rachel, but she didn't want the news to get out before she decided that Rachel could handle it.
19:32Something like that.
19:34Uh, um, I guess that makes sense.
19:37Not to me.
19:40I'm her dad.
19:41You know, I deserve to know what was going on with my daughter, right?
19:47If I had known what was happening with her, I could have helped her, Sarah.
19:51I could have...
19:52Maybe I could have prevented her from hurting you.
19:56Maybe I could have prevented her from being traumatized.
19:58And just maybe she wouldn't be in a mental institution right now.
20:01Maybe I could have prevented her from being traumatized.
20:31Have Salem PD outside your apartment building 24-7 until the situation is resolved.
20:38Okay.
20:39Thank you, Mama.
20:41Making damn sure that my family is safe is a perk of being the mayor.
20:44And, you know, you three could move in with me and Abe, just for the time being.
20:50And that'll give you, you know, my personal security detail and data protection.
20:55Well, that didn't help Theo.
20:56Well, that's because that we had no idea that Theo was even in any danger.
21:00But now that they know there's a threat, they'll be on high alert until this whole mess is over.
21:06Mom, do you really think that Johnny and the baby could be targets?
21:11Well, there's no way for me to be sure.
21:13But you know, you know, as Big Mom always says, an out of prevention beats a pound of killing.
21:20I know, I know, I just, I can't believe this.
21:24I mean, Johnny, he, he disowned his father.
21:27He walked away from E.J. and the entire DiMera family.
21:30And yet, Johnny and Trey and I are all still in danger.
21:38All because of our last name.
21:39So, what are you going to do?
21:43Move with your dad or stay at your grandma's?
21:46My dad says it's totally up to me, but I can tell that he, yeah, he really wants me to come with him.
21:54Well, you know, if you did move with your dad, we'd be living under the same roof for all winter break.
22:02Wouldn't that be perfect?
22:03Yeah, I accept you will be in Paris.
22:07Right, of course.
22:08But not the whole break.
22:10And you know, Ari already moved back home, so...
22:14Maybe we can just focus on being here tonight, all by ourselves.
22:30Good night, Sophia.
22:33Wait a sec.
22:34Wait a sec.
23:03I've been looking all over for these.
23:17I'm just grateful that you're okay.
23:20I don't know if I would have been able to live with myself if what Rachel did...
23:23Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.
23:25Brady, I am, I am fine.
23:28Okay?
23:29And Rachel is going to be fine, too.
23:32Pray you're right.
23:33Because it wasn't only you that she tried to hurt, Sarah.
23:36You know, she did shoot her uncle.
23:38Rachel, who is also fine now.
23:41And from what you told me, it was just a terrible accident.
23:45I mean, pray God knows that Rachel has been through so much in her little life.
23:51But it's, it's, it's, it's, it's no wonder that she's struggling.
23:55And that she needs help, which she is getting.
23:59And I love Rachel.
24:01So, of course, finding out what she did shook me.
24:08But it doesn't change how I feel about her.
24:14Well, bless you for saying that.
24:16I mean it.
24:19Look, Rachel's not mine, but...
24:22The bond that we developed when I thought that she was...
24:27It doesn't just go away.
24:30It's always going to be there.
24:31I mean, she's very lucky to have you in her corner.
24:36And in her life.
24:39I'm lucky to have her in my life.
24:42And like, like I said, when I think about everything that she's been through.
24:48You know, her mom is in prison and then escapes.
24:52And finding that out, I mean...
24:54Has there been any progress in figuring out where Kristen might be?
25:00No.
25:00Now I find myself feeling something that I rarely feel when it comes to Kristen.
25:07That's guilt.
25:08I mean, I was so angry at her when she put our little girl on the stand at Johnny's trial after Kristen confessed everything.
25:16I mean, I told the judge to throw the book at her.
25:19All the while, she was just trying to protect our little girl.
25:23Does it, um, change your feelings about her?
25:32As Rachel's mother, yes, it does.
25:37As my ex, not at all.
25:41You know what?
25:54Hmm?
25:55On second thought, you can surprise me anytime you want.
26:00Maybe next time I'll call first.
26:10Yeah.
26:12That might be wise.
26:13Yeah.
26:30Hey, are you positive you don't want to quit your job and become my full-time groupie?
26:36Oh.
26:36Maybe I'll just moonlight.
26:43Mm-hmm.
26:43That worked.
26:44Yeah.
26:45All right, he is down.
26:58So, do the police have any idea who could be behind all this?
27:03Well, there are those that are suspicious of your father-in-law.
27:10What?
27:10No, no way.
27:12I mean, E.J., he is capable of just about anything, but for all his faults, he loves
27:19his family, as you know.
27:22I can't see him wanting to hurt Chad or Theo or his brother.
27:28I...
27:29And definitely not Johnny and not the baby.
27:33I suppose you have a point.
27:35Yeah.
27:36Yeah, I definitely do.
27:37The Demiris are all about family, which...
27:40Oh, my God.
27:41What?
27:42What are you thinking?
27:44Well, I'm thinking that, considering everything that's gone down between E.J. and I, he obviously
27:53doesn't consider me family.
27:56So, the only Demiris I can see him wanting to hurt is me.
28:02Oh, no, no way is E.J. going to hurt you.
28:19And as much as you think he doesn't consider you family, he damn well knows he better not
28:24do anything bad to you, especially after what he pulled before during that trial.
28:31There won't be a snowball's chance in hell, his son will ever speak to him again.
28:36Well, he's hardly speaking to him now.
28:37Yeah, well, that hardly, it will change to never.
28:41If that son of a bitch doubles down on all the pain he's already caused you and Johnny.
28:44Yeah.
28:45Yeah, yeah, I guess you're right.
28:48I know I am.
28:50Oh, you know what, why don't you go and get yourself some rest?
28:54Now, if little Trey gets up, your mama, she will take excellent care of him until Johnny
28:58gets home.
28:58Okay.
29:03But are you sure that the police are out for it?
29:06Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
29:07Jada made sure of it herself.
29:08Those officers, they aren't going anywhere.
29:12Mm-mm.
29:13No.
29:14My word, you and your family, you'll be just fine.
29:18Okay.
29:19Love you.
29:20Mm-hmm.
29:20I love you too, sweetheart.
29:22Go and get yourself some shutout.
29:24Okay.
29:25Mm-hmm.
29:27Mm-hmm.
29:28Heavenly Father, please don't make me turn out to be a liar.
29:47I hope you have an appetite.
29:50I can't believe you did it.
29:52No, Rachel, we did it.
29:55Well, I know it's not under the best circumstances, but I'm glad that you're going to be staying
30:06here for a while.
30:08I just want to make sure I'm not imposing.
30:12Of course you're not.
30:13It's like I said, there is plenty of room.
30:16There's about six or seven vegan guest suites.
30:21Well, I'm grateful to you and your mom.
30:26And I'm going to get to spend more time with Victoria, too.
30:28I'm going to get to know her better.
30:30I like that.
30:30Well, there you go.
30:31That's an added bonus for both of you.
30:33How's Rachel doing?
30:39Rachel, uh...
30:41Every time I go to see her at Bayview, she begs me to take her home.
30:47Every time.
30:51But she, uh, is making progress with her therapy, so I'm hoping, I'm hoping that she won't be
30:55there for very long.
30:57I'm glad to hear that.
31:00And what about you, hmm?
31:02How are you doing?
31:05I'm just trying to be...
31:07strong.
31:09For Rachel's sake, you know.
31:12Trying to be as upbeat as possible for her.
31:14The problem is I, uh, think about, you know, all the pain that she's in and how unhappy
31:24she is, Sarah, and I, uh...
31:27It's not fair.
31:31I, I, I just, I just, I just want to run into Bayview and I want to put my arms around
31:35her and I want to tell her that she's going to be okay and I want to tell her that we're
31:39going home and I want to put her in her own bed and I want to, I want to take her home.
31:42That's where she belongs.
31:48She's just a little girl.
31:52Little girls aren't supposed to suffer like that.
31:54They're not supposed to be unhappy.
31:58And, uh, I think about what she's been through and I think about what she's going through.
32:03Like, when is it going to stop?
32:06It's not fair.
32:09Come here.
32:11It's me.
32:12I was so scared when Nurse Dunn showed up.
32:26I thought for sure she'd figure out that I wasn't you.
32:29Mm-mm.
32:29I knew for sure that you'd be able to handle old Nurse Ratched.
32:33Nurse who?
32:34Oh, it's from this old movie, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.
32:38It's actually a really good film.
32:39You should watch that.
32:40Okay, I will.
32:41Soon as I'm out of this dome.
32:44Wait, Sophia, how did you pay for all this?
32:48Oh.
32:49It was no big deal.
32:50I just borrowed some money out of one of the CNA's purses.
32:54Borrowed?
32:55Don't you mean you stole it?
32:57No, because I intend to pay it back.
33:02Someday.
33:02You were so bad.
33:06Hey, it's us against them, right?
33:08Yeah, definitely.
33:10And you know, this is the most fun I've had since I got here.
33:14Well, bestie, the fun's not over yet.
33:17Since we've had this really successful test run, I'd say that our adventures are just beginning.
33:22Boom, boom.
33:25Boom.
33:26Boom.
33:29I just had a great idea.
33:38Okay.
33:40Let's hear it.
33:41Okay.
33:41So, what if instead of going to live with your dad or staying with your grandma, you come with me to Paris?
33:49Are you serious?
33:51Yeah. Yeah, I am. I mean, my mom and Eric have plenty of room in their house.
33:55And I don't have to tell you what an amazing city it is.
33:58Like, we have the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower, Coco Vaughan. Let's go, go.
34:04I mean, honestly, that sounds amazing.
34:06Hello, Marie. Novoila.
34:11Paris, here we come.
34:15May Lee. Yeah.
34:16Ma.
34:16Novoila.
34:18Novoila.
34:19Novoila.
34:20Novoila.
34:45Marie, can you hit me? Why?
34:47Well
34:51I know we're all supposed to
34:54Stay in the moment or whatever
34:57But
34:57I can't stop thinking about the future
35:01Okay, so
35:05What are you thinking about
35:08The future
35:09Well, if I have to
35:14Limit myself to
35:17Fast-forwarding
35:19Say, five years
35:21I think that's a
35:22Reasonable amount of time to
35:24Jump ahead and
35:26Think about where I want to be
35:28And where do you want to be?
35:33I'm hoping that
35:34Maybe you and I
35:36Be married
35:39Start a family
35:44Growing old together
35:46In five years?
35:51Okay, maybe a little too soon
35:53It's real old, okay
35:53But I
35:54I, um
35:56Really like the idea of being together
36:00Forever
36:03I'm scaring you
36:08Not at all
36:10You're actually making my heart beat
36:15Super fast
36:17In a happy way
36:21Good
36:22My heart's beating pretty fast, too
36:25Your turn
36:31Where do you see yourself
36:35Five years?
36:39Well
36:40Definitely
36:42In your arms
36:44Yes
36:46Was it
36:59Yes
36:59Yes
36:59My heart's beating
37:01You
37:02Анд
37:02Yes
37:02Your turn
37:04For me
37:0411
37:05Yeah
37:06I
37:06I
37:07I
37:07I
37:09I
37:09I
37:10Oh
