00:00Marlena, you look like you're feeling better.
00:12I am. This is my third trip around the nurse's station.
00:16Well, you're definitely looking stronger.
00:18In fact, I just saw your latest labs, and I think that you are ready to go home.
00:30Ah, from Salem U, final grade.
01:001.9 GPA, academic probation.
01:23What are you doing here?
01:25I could ask you the same question.
01:30E.J. DeMira made us in family to disappear.
01:46Okay, well, you need to be taking it easy.
01:53No, I can manage.
01:54Really? Because you can barely walk, and you're burning up.
01:57You need to be resting.
01:58Please, with Tony and Theo snoring in there?
02:02Oh.
02:07Am I hallucinating?
02:08Oh, I wish you were.
02:23Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.
02:28Hey, Aunt Belle.
02:43Is everything okay?
02:45Oh, hey, Tate.
02:47Um, yeah, I'm sorry.
02:49I'm, I'm just a little rattled.
02:51Uh, I, I've, I've been in court all day, and then I just, I just saw this.
02:57Oh, yeah.
02:57E.J.'s been kidnapped.
02:59It's crazy, right?
03:01I heard about it from Aaron.
03:02I guess his sister must have told him earlier.
03:05Like, I, I thought, maybe I should call Johnny, but wouldn't really know what to say.
03:11You know, since Cena's dad were, well, are kind of on the outs.
03:15Yeah, still, that must really hit hard.
03:24So they got you, too, huh?
03:28Or are you just pretending to, uh, be one of us poor captive slops?
03:34Mm-hmm.
03:35Chad told me you've posited that I was the one who entombed you all.
03:39A, ridiculous, and B, if I had, why the hell would I be here?
03:45Yeah, to make sure you've got a front row seat to the fruits of your labor.
03:50Hmm?
03:51No, I can see it.
03:52I can see you, uh, putting us all in here to toy with us and then joining us for the
03:59sheer pleasure of watching us eat each other alive.
04:03Honestly, I think we've, we've been pretty civil so far.
04:05Well, I predict it's all about to change.
04:16That's wonderful, Nune.
04:18Thank you so much.
04:19Of course.
04:22I want to tell you how happy I am to know that you are fully recovered and back at work.
04:29I don't know how much Brady told you about what happened.
04:36Um, Brady told me everything about Rachel and EJ and you.
04:45I see.
04:46Mylena, I honestly don't know what I would have done if I were in your shoes.
04:52So I think all that really matters is Rachel's getting the treatment that she needs.
05:00So I am going to get a nurse to start on that paperwork for you.
05:04Mm-hmm.
05:05And be sure to make a follow-up appointment for next week.
05:08I will do that.
05:09All right.
05:14I thought that I would be there to help.
05:16Well, you, you, you, you weren't.
05:18You weren't.
05:20And now my daughter is sedated and she's waiting to be transferred to a psychiatric ward.
05:26Marlena, you should have told me.
05:28You should have told me.
05:30I'm her father.
05:34Brady, that's the reason I didn't tell you.
05:36Because you, because you are her father and she needs you so much.
05:45And I didn't want the information about what she had done to adversely affect your relationship with her.
05:53Adverseness?
05:53You didn't think that I would know how to treat my own child?
05:58Even if it didn't affect how you treated her,
06:00there was a chance that if you knew,
06:07she could accidentally find out.
06:12I, uh,
06:13I have to get out of here, right?
06:16No, Brady.
06:17Brady.
06:18Brady!
06:19Brady!
06:30I'm ready to come home.
06:38Uh, Mom, that is great news.
06:40Yes, I will be right there.
06:43Okay.
06:44Finally, some good news.
06:46Oh, yeah?
06:47Yeah, Grandma's being discharged from the hospital.
06:50That's awesome.
06:51Oh, my God, that's great.
06:53Yeah, it's about time.
06:54Yeah, tell me about it.
06:55Well, I'm, uh, on my way to go meet Dad at Bayview to visit Rachel,
07:00but please tell Grandma that I'll be home soon,
07:03and I can't wait to see her.
07:05I will.
07:05All right.
07:06Make sure you do.
07:07Okay.
07:07All right, bye.
07:08Bye.
07:17I'm here to drop off Christmas presents for my daughter.
07:21Does Sarah know that you were coming by?
07:24I'm not staying.
07:25I'm not here to see Victoria.
07:27I'm well aware that I've given up my visitation, right?
07:29So I don't need any reminders from you.
07:32It's not my place to remind you.
07:35What's your excuse, then?
07:37One of you darkened the Kiriakis duel?
07:42Actually, I live here.
07:43You live here?
07:59Temporarily.
08:00Maggie was nice enough to offer me a room until I found my own place.
08:05What's wrong with your old place?
08:06It got complicated.
08:09I felt, uh...
08:10You know, Xander, I really don't owe you an explanation, do I?
08:13You're right.
08:14You don't.
08:16But if I can ask you another question, totally unrelated to your current living circumstances...
08:22Go for it.
08:24Did the FBI question you about the missing tameris?
08:28They did not.
08:29Huh.
08:30I just thought maybe because of the business rivalry and the de-merger and everything they did question Phillip and me.
08:37Well, you and Phillip may be under suspicion, but I don't know anything about those disappearances.
08:43Neither do we, Brady.
08:47Listen, I'll tell Sarah that you dropped off the packages.
08:52All right, then.
09:04Oh, Kristen, you wound me.
09:07Speaking of wounds, that is definitely infected, and it's kind of started to stink.
09:12I know.
09:13I know.
09:14Yeah.
09:15I got it from digging.
09:17Yeah, this is why you have a fever, Kristen.
09:21Oh.
09:23Damn.
09:23That actually looks pretty bad.
09:25We might need to amputate.
09:27I'm being facetious.
09:30No, you're being a cruel and heartless self.
09:34Runs in the family, doesn't it?
09:37Although I do have to commend you, Kristen, for the only kind and unselfish thing you've ever done in your life.
09:42For Rachel.
09:43Not that it did any good in the end.
09:48What the hell does that mean?
09:52I'm afraid your daughter remembered what happened.
09:57So, remember what?
09:58What are you talking about?
09:59I'm talking about how Kristen so nobly took the blame for having shot me when it turned out that Rachel was the one who pulled the trigger.
10:11And now that poor child has remembered that she was the would-be murderess.
10:21I'm looking for my friend, Seymour the snake.
10:31I thought this was his room, no?
10:33Thanks.
10:34Hi.
10:35I'm so happy to see you.
10:36Oh, I'm happy to see you.
10:37Dad will be here soon.
10:39What about Grandma?
10:44All right.
10:45You're all set.
10:47And I brought you some clothes, seeing as how I'm sure you're ready to get out of this lovely ensemble.
10:52Definitely.
10:53And then the last stop is the pharmacy.
10:55They are filling your prescription for antibiotics as we speak.
10:58And then we can, uh, blow this joint.
11:02That sounds like a plan.
11:04Yeah.
11:06What is that?
11:07What are you reading?
11:08Oh, I was just, uh, looking at the, uh, front page of the spectator.
11:12Uh, I guess EJ has gone missing, too.
11:16Hmm?
11:17Yeah.
11:18I hope he's okay.
11:21I hope they're all okay.
11:25Let me get changed and, uh, we can get out of here.
11:27Uh, actually, Mom, um, there's something I need to tell you.
11:35I can't believe I forgot this one.
11:55Xander!
11:57What do you think?
12:00They're gorgeous!
12:05You know that my father, Mickey, gave my mom a pair of red heels once upon a time.
12:10I was waiting for you to make the connection.
12:12Yeah.
12:13Maggie told me the whole story.
12:15And she grew up using crutch shoes, but...
12:17I'd always dreamed of dancing.
12:18And then after she had surgery to regain the use of her legs, Mickey gave her the red shoes.
12:26It was his way of fulfilling her dream.
12:28And her dreams were indeed fulfilled.
12:31And now ours have been.
12:33And you're back on your feet, so I thought it'd be nice if you had a pair of your own.
12:36Damn it, Xander!
12:41What's wrong?
12:44I only got you an air fryer.
12:46Oh!
12:46Oh!
12:46Oh!
12:47Oh!
12:47Oh!
12:47Oh!
12:47Oh!
12:48Oh!
12:48Oh!
12:49Oh!
12:49Oh!
12:50Oh!
12:50Oh!
12:51Oh!
12:52Oh!
12:52Oh!
12:53Oh!
12:54Oh!
12:55Oh!
12:56Oh!
12:57Oh!
12:58Oh!
12:59Oh!
13:00Oh!
13:01Oh!
13:02Oh!
13:03It's good to see you back on your feet.
13:10What are you doing here?
13:12You can't just...
13:12I know, I was dropping off Christmas presents for Victoria.
13:16I hope that doesn't mean I violated the terms of our divorce.
13:19No, of course not.
13:20It's just, you...
13:21You need to call first, Xander.
13:24I don't like being surprised like this.
13:26Yeah, well, I was surprised too.
13:29When I found out Brady moved in with you.
13:33Huh.
13:50So Brady moved to have a townhouse, huh?
13:52Yeah.
13:53I mean, he said he's been meaning to do it for a while, and...
13:55he thinks it's past time for him to find a place of his own.
13:58And where is he now?
14:00So, you say he's been planning to get his own place for a while, but suddenly he's, he's moving right now.
14:12I'm guessing that has a lot to do with me.
14:17I'm guessing that he doesn't want to be around me.
14:23Rachel remembered she shot you?
14:27How?
14:30Well, it seems Rachel gave Sarah Kyriakos some pistachio ice cream, knowing full well that she was highly allergic to it.
14:39And it caused Sarah to have an anaphylactic reaction.
14:45Oh, my God.
14:46Is Sarah all right?
14:48Well, she wasn't at the time.
14:49She almost died, apparently, but she's fine now, to the best of my knowledge.
14:53Okay, well, that's a relief, but what does this have to do with Rachel remembering that she shot you?
14:58Well, from what I understand, it triggered the memory she'd suppressed of shooting me, which caused the poor girl to go completely off the rails.
15:08So, now, she's in Bayview for the foreseeable future.
15:19Oh, no.
15:20That was not as good as my part.
15:22Oh, sweetie, how are you?
15:27How are you?
15:28I'm okay.
15:29It's so good to see you.
15:30Well, Nurse Helen was just telling me how good you are doing.
15:33Hmm.
15:34I'm sure she says that to all the parents.
15:36Well...
15:37Dad, um, Rachel was just asking if Grandma was going to come visit.
15:43Well, Grandma is still in the hospital, but once she starts feeling better, I'm sure she will be eager to see you.
15:50Actually, um, she called Aunt Belle earlier.
15:54She's being discharged today.
15:55That's great.
15:57So, now she can come to visit me, right?
15:59Um, yeah.
16:00I mean, sure.
16:01I'm sure.
16:02I'm sure she can.
16:02But I want to focus on this right now.
16:04How proud I am of you because your therapist said you are doing so very well here.
16:08Hmm.
16:09I guess.
16:11How's everything going otherwise?
16:13Well, the food here still sucks.
16:17Hmm.
16:17We had meatloaf last night.
16:18The taste is like barf.
16:20Hmm.
16:20Barf.
16:21That's bad.
16:22I'm sorry about that.
16:23And I miss you so much, Daddy.
16:27I miss you, too.
16:29I really, really, really, really miss you a lot.
16:31And I can't wait for you to get home.
16:33Me neither.
16:36But I made a new friend.
16:39Hey, that's good.
16:40You made a friend.
16:41Yeah.
16:41Really.
16:42Made everything a little better.
16:44That's terrific.
16:45I'm so glad to hear that.
16:46And your friend, what is her name?
16:48Oh, you guys already know her.
16:52It's Sophia Choi.
17:06My daughter is in Bayview?
17:08I was, uh, I was surprised myself that such extreme measures had to be taken.
17:16And, of course, the hope was that Rachel had buried the truth deep enough in her psyche
17:21that she wouldn't remember what she had done until she was psychologically ready,
17:27which she obviously wasn't.
17:28Okay, well, what did the doctor say?
17:31How long is she going to be in there?
17:33How is she doing?
17:34From what I've heard, it sounds like she's having a rather tough time.
17:42I imagine she's rather traumatized.
17:45Oh, just, just, just.
17:47Okay, so I'm, so I'm, I'm, I'm clear here.
17:49What, what I'm hearing is, is that, is that you confessed to shooting EJ,
17:52but both of you knew that it was Rachel?
17:54Yes, I wanted to protect my daughter.
17:58I mean, she must be traumatized there.
18:00She must be terrified.
18:02I, I need to be with her.
18:05I need it.
18:07I need to get out of here.
18:09And I need to go get my daughter out of that awful place.
18:22Sophia Choi.
18:25Yeah, that's right.
18:26I remember, uh, seeing her when I came to visit you the other day.
18:29And now we're friends.
18:33She doesn't talk, though.
18:35Like, at all.
18:38But they have some board games at the front desk you can check out,
18:42so we play those.
18:45The non-talking ones.
18:47Oh.
18:48That's cool.
18:49Yeah, that's, that's, uh, that's cool.
19:01Mom, you know that the situation with Brady and Rachel's complicated.
19:06And I'm sure that once Rachel has learned how to, you know, deal with her emotions
19:10and she's on the road to recovery, Brady will be ready to forgive and move on.
19:17I'm not sure that I will be ready to forgive myself.
19:20What?
19:21Look, I made a terrible error in judgment about Rachel.
19:24I was so certain that what I was doing was right and
19:29now the only thing I'm really certain of is
19:34is what?
19:39I'm going to stop seeing patients.
19:43What?
19:45What?
19:46No, don't say that, Mom.
19:47You are a great doctor and you have helped so many people.
19:52You know what you would say to me in this situation?
19:54You would say not to make major decisions when I'm emotionally distressed.
20:00Oh, good.
20:02Your prescription's ready.
20:03Come on, let's get you home.
20:13Brady didn't move in with me.
20:15My mom offered him a room temporarily
20:18for reasons that have absolutely nothing to do with me or Victoria.
20:22I didn't know about it until he showed up here with a suitcase.
20:25It wasn't consulted.
20:26Right.
20:28I'm sure you're broken up at the prospect of living under the same roof as him.
20:31I am glad that Brady has a place to stay while he is looking for his own place.
20:37I imagine that search could go on for a while.
20:40And what if it does?
20:41Is that what you're hoping for?
20:44I hope that Brady stays as long as he needs and that he feels welcome here.
20:50Oh, I'm sure you'll make him feel welcome.
20:53More than welcome.
20:56Since it's obvious you have feelings for him.
20:59Don't you?
20:59I got you something.
21:06Yay, a present.
21:07What is it?
21:08You gotta open the box, doofus.
21:10Don't mind if I do, butthead.
21:12Ouch.
21:15Here you go.
21:17A bunch of stuff.
21:21Christmas lights.
21:22What am I gonna do with these?
21:25What do you think you're gonna do?
21:27Are you gonna hang them up in your room?
21:29The nurse said it's fine if you decorate.
21:30Yeah.
21:31You know, we put some ornaments in there.
21:34Figured it might make the place feel a little more like home for you.
21:41Baby, what's wrong?
21:41Why are you looking at me like that?
21:45So, I'm not going home for Christmas?
21:52Um, no.
21:55No, but hey, we don't know how long you're gonna have to be here.
22:01But it's not a big deal because, just because we're not gonna have Christmas there, we're
22:04gonna have Christmas here.
22:06We're gonna come here all day long.
22:07We're gonna decorate.
22:08We're gonna have fun.
22:09We're gonna...
22:10I have a lot of presents.
22:11I've been doing a lot of shopping for you, sweetie.
22:15The only thing I want for Christmas is to go home.
22:20And to see my mom.
22:22I know.
22:23I want my mom back.
22:24Sweetie.
22:26I know.
22:27But you have to understand, baby, the most important thing right now for you is to be here and to
22:32get well.
22:33And once you are, you're gonna be able to have every single Christmas at home from now on,
22:39okay?
22:41It'll be okay.
22:42Come on, come on.
22:43Give me a hug.
22:44Come on.
22:45We'll be okay.
22:46I don't understand.
22:51So, Rachel shot you.
22:54Why?
22:55And how?
22:56It...
22:56It was an accident.
22:59And...
23:00For a long time, I didn't even remember it was her.
23:04Yeah, but once he had, he forced my hand.
23:08Because he wanted to make sure that Johnny got off.
23:13That's why you confessed it?
23:14Yes.
23:16Yes, that is why.
23:18I wanted to protect my daughter.
23:20Okay, but they were about to come back with a verdict.
23:22That could have sent my son to prison for life.
23:25Yeah, but he wasn't going to.
23:27Leo was on the jury, and he told me they were gonna come back with a not guilty verdict.
23:31What?
23:32What?
23:33Damn you, EJ.
23:34I told you.
23:35I begged you to wait.
23:37Just wait and see what happened.
23:39No, no.
23:39You insisted that I acted before the jury came back.
23:42But how could I have known?
23:43How?
23:43You just needed to wait five more minutes.
23:47Oh, my God.
23:48And then I wouldn't have gone to prison, and Rachel wouldn't be in.
23:51Baby, you bitch.
23:55Let her go.
24:02Stop.
24:02Sit down.
24:03You need to take it easy.
24:06Don't do this.
24:08You need to save your strength, all right?
24:10You want to kill him?
24:10Do it when we get out of here.
24:12Shut up.
24:21Oh.
24:22You've decorated for Christmas.
24:26Well, I tried anyway.
24:31It's lovely.
24:33Well done.
24:35Um, is, is, uh, Tate here?
24:39Anybody at home?
24:41Uh, yeah.
24:42He did not move out with Brady.
24:44So he doesn't know that, what's going on with you and Brady.
24:50Yeah, nothing specific.
24:51He just knows that, you know, there are things that are tense between you two.
24:56But, um, he'll be home soon.
24:59He, he went with Brady to go see Rachel.
25:02Hmm.
25:04I would love to go and see her.
25:05I just, I don't want to overstep.
25:09She wants to see you, too, and I'm sure Brady will be fine with that.
25:13He'll respect that.
25:16No.
25:18I don't think that he will respect or trust me ever again.
25:22It's so hard to leave her.
25:28I know.
25:30I mean, I would, I would have stayed with her longer if she didn't have therapy.
25:33Maybe I'll, maybe I'll go first thing tomorrow.
25:35I'll go back tomorrow, too.
25:37You know, as, as much as she was saying how much she hates it there and the food, this terrible
25:42dad, she's making progress.
25:45I mean, her therapist say she's participating in groups, she's socializing, so, hey, you
25:50know, here's to, here's to your sister hopefully getting better and coming back home.
25:56Yeah.
25:59State the fact that she's socializing with Sophia Choi.
26:03I mean, what, why would, why would an 18-year-old girl want to defend a 10-year-old girl?
26:07I think Sophia's probably just bored and lonely, especially if she's still not talking.
26:13She, she probably feels safer with a little kid.
26:18Does that make sense?
26:20Look, Sophia's had her problems, but I've known her a long time.
26:25She's always been really good with kids, probably because she's always had to look after her little
26:29brothers.
26:31I'm sure that we have nothing to worry about.
26:35Probably right.
26:37Probably right.
26:38And since, uh, Sophia isn't talking, she can't be that bad of an influence on her, right?
26:43That's a really good point.
26:44Yeah.
26:49I'm glad Rachel has someone that she knows there in Bayview.
26:55Maybe it'll make the experience a little more variable for her.
26:58For both of them.
27:07Kind of a bummer about Christmas, huh?
27:31Well, at least I have Sophia.
27:36And you, Seymour.
27:40And it was so awesome how she went out and got buddies for us last night, wasn't it?
27:46Sorry you couldn't have any, though.
27:49Hopefully, next time Sophia comes up with something fun to do, we can both go along.
27:54Look, as far as Brady and I go.
28:06Oh, let me guess, none of mine.
28:07None of your damn business.
28:08Yeah, you're absolutely correct about that.
28:10Just like it's none of my business if you have feelings for anyone else.
28:13I don't.
28:15I never will.
28:16I should go.
28:33Oh, and now, please.
28:35Tell Victoria if there's anything that I missed on her list.
28:38I'll have it here by New Year's.
28:40And tell her that I love her very much.
28:43And, uh, Merry Christmas.
28:49Xander, wait.
28:59So, Dad, listen, about Christmas...
29:02Christmas, yeah, you have a couple weeks off, right?
29:04Do you have any plans with Holly, or...?
29:07Well, actually, Holly's gonna be in Paris.
29:11Oh, oh.
29:12I see.
29:13Well, Eric and Nicole enjoy seeing her, I'm sure.
29:17Yeah, actually, they're very excited, in fact.
29:20That's kind of what I...
29:21Buddy, I mean, look.
29:22I know this is not gonna be the merriest of Christmases for us this year.
29:27It will be the first Christmas without your Grandpa John.
29:31Yeah.
29:32And I know I should be supporting Marlena, but right now, I just can't do it.
29:38And I can tell you're really struggling.
29:42I am, son.
29:45And with Rachel in Bayview, I mean, we're...
29:47Look, we're gonna have to do everything we can to make Christmas as fun as possible for her.
29:52And I know you're gonna be upset not seeing Holly as much during the holidays, but I know your little sister's gonna be so appreciative that you're around.
30:04And, frankly, so will I.
30:07Mom, and you don't have to answer this if you don't want to, but have you told Brady why you and Kristen decided it would be better if she confessed?
30:25No.
30:26No.
30:28No, we didn't.
30:30That was...that was all Kristen's idea.
30:32I was as shocked as you were when she burst into the courtroom and confessed.
30:37But you knew that she was protecting Rachel.
30:40Yes.
30:41I did.
30:43I did, but she...
30:45Look, I asked her not to do it, but she wouldn't hear of it.
30:49And then she made me promise not to tell anyone, not to discuss it with Brady.
30:52It was all for Rachel.
30:57Well, then this really isn't your fault.
31:00I mean, it's like you made some unilateral decision about Rachel.
31:03You were just backing up Kristen.
31:07Yeah.
31:08I suppose.
31:11Mom, you have to tell Brady that.
31:13I mean, he's blaming you unfairly.
31:17No.
31:19But I didn't have to do what Kristen asked me to do.
31:22But I did.
31:24And I kept it from Brady.
31:27So I just have to take responsibility for that.
31:39No, no, no, no.
31:40Go.
31:41Go.
31:42Go chill out for a minute.
31:43Me.
31:45Gladly.
31:45So EJ sent you to prison so he could protect his kid.
32:00Yeah.
32:02And as much as I hate him,
32:03I do get it.
32:10I would really appreciate it if you didn't tell Theo or Tony about this.
32:14I'm just...
32:15I'm not ready for them to know what Rachel did.
32:19Adam, you want to protect her.
32:20You want to protect her?
32:21I do.
32:21I just...
32:21I just want to protect my son.
32:24Go Matt.
32:31Go Matt.
32:44Go Matt.
