00:30We're just doing a trial run of your book club with some of your close friends
00:33Oh, Foster, it's a little more than that
00:36My family...
00:37My family's involved in a custody dispute
00:41I'm just on edge
00:42That's understandable
00:44You want to reschedule?
00:46No, oh no
00:47No, I think this is a good distraction
00:49I just have to calm down and pray the mediation's going well
01:00I got it, Justin
01:03Thanks
01:04What time is he meeting us?
01:09He's not
01:10It seems the mediator suggested that we meet without lawyers
01:14Oh, Jack...
01:17According to Justin, it's very common
01:19Say, I just got a call from Melinda
01:22And apparently the mediator wants us to meet without our attorneys
01:24Right
01:25I think that's a terrible idea
01:27Hello, Kat
01:44Dr. Evans, hi, how are you?
01:48I am very well, thank you
01:49I am really glad to hear that
01:51Are you here on your own?
01:56Oh, no, I'm waiting for Felicity
01:58Normally I would be at work
02:01But my schedule's been a little flexible
02:02Since E.J. is gone with his daughter
02:05Oh, your granddaughter, Sydney, of course
02:08How is she?
02:10By all reports, she is doing well
02:12I am happy to hear that
02:15Does that mean E.J. will be coming home soon?
02:18I hope not
02:19Like sands through the hourglass
02:30So are the days of our lives
02:33Hello
02:44Oh, Maggie, you made it
02:47Well, of course
02:48But I have to admit
02:50I haven't quite finished the section
02:52That we're going to be discussing today
02:53Well, that's no surprise
02:55You only picked it up this morning
02:56Yeah, well, I kind of got halfway through it, though
02:59Good, good, good
02:59What did you think?
03:01Uh, well
03:03I thought the author's experience
03:06Hit rather close to home
03:08Since she was widowed twice as I've been
03:10So it was, uh
03:12So it was, it was really nice
03:15Uh, I could relate to that
03:17And I also think that
03:20You know, I
03:21I think we should wait for the discussion
03:24Until Marlena gets here
03:25I wonder what's keeping her
03:27I, I know everyone hates C.E.J., but he's been kind enough to me, so
03:37I'm sure
03:39It's only a matter of time before that kindness turns into
03:45Something else
03:48That's why I have a proposition for you
03:52Oh, what's that?
03:56I'm thinking about going back to work at the hospital
03:59And I wondered if you
04:00Wanted to roll John back
04:02Well, look at that
04:07The two of you already agree on something
04:10I'd say we're off to a great start
04:11But you, you don't agree
04:14Right, Jack?
04:15You think we should go to the mediation without lawyers
04:18I think we should give it a try
04:20I mean, look
04:22Nothing's bonding until we agree to it in writing
04:24And all we're doing today is talking
04:25And
04:26I think we'd be less constrained
04:30Without lawyers present
04:32A little freer to express ourselves
04:34And after all
04:35We all have the same goal here, don't we?
04:41Uh, yes
04:42Okay, I'm, I'm good with it
04:45I'm okay
04:46Yeah, me too
04:49Dr. Evans, you were so kind to hire me to begin with
05:03And I loved working for you, honestly
05:05But, uh
05:06Oh
05:09Sure
05:10You're afraid that E.J. will be upset if I, if I, uh
05:15I poach you
05:16Yes
05:17And he did do me a lovely favor in hiring me
05:21And I think he's come to rely on me
05:24So I wouldn't feel right about leaving him in the lurch
05:27Your loyalty is admirable
05:31Oh, hey, cute
05:34There you are
05:35Hi, Dr. Evans
05:37Hello, Donnie
05:38Felicity and I are going to get some ice cream
05:42Care to join us?
05:44Oh, tempting
05:45But I, uh
05:47I promised a friend that I would do a favor, so
05:50Another time
05:51I'm surprised Marlena's late
05:54She's usually so punctual
05:56Maybe you should text her
05:57I did
05:58No reply
05:59Well
06:01Much as I'd like to wait until Marlena gets here
06:05The store is only closed for an hour
06:09So I think perhaps we should get started
06:11Melinda, you don't have to yell
06:17Yeah, I know, I get it
06:21You don't want me going into the meeting without you
06:22Okay
06:26Look, there's not going to be any decisions made today
06:30I have to go with the meeting, sir
06:32Sorry, that was Melinda
06:37We figured
06:38Hello, everyone
06:44I am Agnes Felder
06:46I will be your mediator
06:48I'm Jack Devereaux
06:51This is my wife, Jennifer
06:53My pleasure
06:53Thank you
06:54Chad Merrill
06:55It's nice to meet you all
06:57Please, have a seat
06:59Thank you
07:09The purpose of this mediation
07:22Is for the three of you to reach an agreement
07:24That best serves the interests of Thomas and Charlotte DiMera
07:28I'm here as a neutral party to help you do that
07:32I'll listen to both sides
07:34Facilitate communication between you
07:37And hopefully guide you to a workable resolution
07:41Make sense?
07:43I recognize that child custody is a very sensitive matter
07:51And emotions can run high
07:53But we have the greatest chance of success
07:56If we can keep the discussion civil and respectful
08:01Are you ready to begin?
08:09Yeah, I'm ready
08:10Yeah, so are we
08:14Okay, so you have 0.7 and 1.7
08:24You get...
08:29Let's take a break
08:32Decimals are tricky
08:33It's not that
08:35I can't concentrate
08:37Well, is it because of what's happening with your dad and your grandparents?
08:43You want to talk about it?
08:46I don't know what to say
08:47What ever's on your mind?
08:53I just feel like everyone's mad at everyone else
08:55And it's all my fault
08:57Mr. DiMera, let's start with you
09:05How do you propose we resolve this custody dispute?
09:11I believe my kids should remain with me
09:14And why do you believe that?
09:16Because I'm their father
09:17And no one loves Thomas and Charlotte more than I do
09:20I rocked them to sleep when they were babies
09:24I changed their diapers
09:26Held them when they were sick
09:28I took them to baseball games
09:30And dance recitals
09:31I've always been
09:33Been with them
09:35And we've always been close
09:36And they need me
09:38They need me close to them
09:40Right now
09:42Because
09:43I'm the only parent they have left
09:44A few years ago
09:47My wife
09:48Abigail
09:49Jack and Jennifer's daughter
09:50Was murdered
09:52I'm so sorry
09:54How do you tell a seven-year-old and a four-year-old
09:58That they're never going to see their mother again?
10:01It was the hardest thing I've ever had to do
10:03Right after Abby was killed
10:08I was
10:09Barely holding it together
10:11That was a mess
10:13And one day
10:14I
10:15Snapped at Thomas
10:16I lost my temper
10:18With him
10:19He ran off
10:22He was obviously
10:23Hurt
10:24And I
10:26Confided in Jennifer
10:28About how I messed up
10:30And how bad I felt
10:31And she said to me
10:33I would
10:34Never forget it
10:36She said
10:36You don't always
10:38Have to be wise and wonderful
10:39For your kids
10:40You just have to be there
10:43Did you find you could do that?
10:48Yeah
10:48I apologized to Thomas
10:51And we agreed that
10:54We were both
10:56Just mad at the world
10:59Because it took her from us
11:01She was gone
11:06And we didn't know what to do about it
11:08And
11:08My son
11:10My
11:11Beautiful boy
11:13He looked up at me
11:14And he said
11:15I could make you feel better
11:21And then you could make me feel better
11:26And
11:26For the first time
11:28Since Abby died
11:29I smiled
11:30Because I knew that there would be a way forward
11:34I knew that we could start living again
11:36And that is exactly what we did
11:42Jack and Jennifer
11:42Moved to Boston
11:43I took over the newspaper
11:45That they'd ran for years
11:46And
11:47My kids were thriving
11:49Seeing them happy
11:52Seeing them
11:53Allow themselves
11:55To be happy
11:57It made me very proud
11:58It seems you've come a long way
12:01Yeah
12:02And it hasn't always been perfect
12:05I haven't
12:06Always been wise
12:08And wonderful
12:11But we've come far
12:12And I've been there
12:13Every step of the way
12:14And that is exactly what Jennifer
12:17Said herself
12:18Was most important
12:19I have to be with my kids
12:22Clearly the Devereaux's position
12:30Has changed
12:30Can you tell me why that is?
12:32It's a
12:36Long
12:38And complicated story
12:40But there was a woman
12:43Cat Green
12:45Who impersonated Abby
12:46Made us believe she hadn't really died
12:50And eventually
12:53We
12:53You know
12:56We found out that she only did that
12:57Because Clyde Weston
12:59The monster
13:00Who
13:00Murdered Abigail
13:02Forced her to
13:02He was going to kill Cat's mother
13:04If she didn't follow his orders
13:06What happened when you found out
13:09This woman wasn't really your wife?
13:11I was furious
13:12I mean obviously
13:14Our whole family was
13:15What she did was
13:19Unbelievably cruel
13:20I know that
13:20But she didn't do it
13:24With malicious intent
13:24She didn't want to hurt any of us
13:26She
13:26She told me how sorry
13:28She felt
13:28Over and over again
13:30I believed her
13:32And I came to believe
13:35That she deserved
13:36Forgiveness
13:37Just like
13:39The rest of us
13:40Deserve forgiveness
13:41For
13:41For the things that we have done
13:43That have hurt people
13:44Just as badly
13:44Do you care to elaborate?
13:53Everyone needs to be open
13:54And honest
13:55For this discussion
13:55To work
13:56Jennifer
14:02Struggled with an addiction
14:04To painkillers
14:05Jane
14:07That
14:07That is irrelevant
14:08That has nothing
14:10To do with
14:10Hold on
14:14Okay
14:15I can see that
14:16This was a bad idea
14:18This meeting is over
14:20One aspect of the story
14:36I really connected to
14:38Was
14:39Nellie's conflict
14:41With her
14:41Her second ex-husband's
14:43Adult children
14:44She had always been
14:46So close with them
14:46Oh good
14:49You started without me
14:51Lena
14:52Welcome
14:53Welcome
14:53Welcome
14:54Have a seat
14:55Have a pastry
14:56Oh
14:58Thank you
15:00I'm
15:00Sorry I'm late
15:02That's perfectly
15:03Okay
15:04We're delighted
15:05That you're here
15:05Dr. Evans
15:11Seems sad
15:12Yeah you know
15:15I agree
15:16But
15:18She probably misses her husband
15:20You remember I
15:20I mentioned that
15:21She lost him last summer
15:23That's terrible
15:25You seem sad too
15:29What?
15:32Really
15:33Why would I be sad?
15:34Because
15:36You're Miss
15:37Chad
15:38Mr. Devereaux
15:46Is what Mr. DeMera
15:49Said untrue?
15:51No
15:51No it's not
15:54We
15:57We just didn't think
15:59That he'd stoop so though
16:00I understand
16:01But you
16:02Do you see that
16:03Mrs. Devereaux's addiction
16:05Is relevant
16:07To the question
16:07Of who's more fit
16:08To have custody
16:09No
16:09No
16:10No
16:10It's not
16:11It's not relevant
16:12I shouldn't have said anything
16:15I'm sorry
16:15Jennifer's been
16:18Clean for years
16:19My kids are perfectly
16:20Safe with her
16:21As they are with me
16:23I'd like to go back to Ms. Green
16:30And her part in this dispute
16:32Mr. Devereaux
16:34How did you explain to your children
16:37About the impersonation?
16:39I didn't
16:40I wasn't going to
16:43A friend from Thomas' school
16:46Found out and told him
16:47She also told him that
16:51That Kat and I
16:53Were in a relationship
16:54A romantic relationship?
16:58I know this
16:59Is going to sound strange
17:01When Kat was pretending to be Abigail
17:07She developed
17:08Genuine feelings for me
17:10And I had feelings for her
17:13I thought she was my wife
17:14Then you learned she wasn't
17:18Yeah, but the feelings
17:19Don't just go away
17:21I mean, I thought they would
17:23I thought they would
17:25But they didn't
17:26And then Kat and I
17:27We started spending time together
17:29And became friends
17:31And then eventually
17:32More than friends
17:34Which is
17:36What he kept a secret
17:38And when Thomas asked him
17:41If they were more than friends
17:43He lied
17:43To Thomas
17:44Until he couldn't cover it up
17:46Any longer
17:47And he had to come clean
17:48What was Thomas' reaction
17:52When he learned the truth?
17:53I mean, obviously
17:54He was so upset
17:56To even think
17:56That his father
17:57Would be dating
17:58His mother's imposter
17:59I broke it off
18:01The next day
18:01Right, but he
18:02Was so upset
18:03By your betrayal
18:04That he asked
18:05If he could move to Boston
18:06With Jack and me
18:08And you said?
18:09We said no
18:09No
18:09We didn't think that our daughter
18:13Would want
18:14Her children
18:15To be taken away
18:16From their surviving
18:17Parent
18:18We thought that Chad
18:20Had ended his relationship
18:21With Kat
18:22I did
18:23I did
18:23So he claimed
18:25I mean, he swore up and down
18:27That his top priority
18:28Was to gain Thomas' trust back
18:30And he asked us
18:32If we would tell Thomas
18:33That Boston was not even an option
18:35Did you?
18:37We said we would
18:38If he could give us his word
18:40That Kat would stay out of our lives
18:42And he said to me
18:43I quote
18:44My relationship
18:46With Kat Green
18:46Is over
18:47Forever
18:48Which turned out
18:49To just be
18:49Another lie
18:50Can I explain?
18:52Hang on
18:52Mrs. Devereaux
18:53Why do you say it's a lie?
18:54Because days after he made that promise
18:56Thomas and I
18:57Were walking through the square
18:58And we see Kat and Chad
19:00With their arms
19:00Around each other
19:02And Thomas
19:03Obviously was so devastated
19:05That he ran into the street
19:06And got hit by a car
19:07Thomas misunderstood
19:08What he saw
19:09Chad
19:09Kat had just gotten bad news
19:11About her mother
19:12And I was
19:13I was trying to comfort her
19:14Okay now
19:15I realize now
19:16Given the circumstances
19:17That that was a mistake
19:19Can you promise
19:19You won't make another?
19:21What a mistake Jack?
19:22Can I promise
19:23That my kids
19:24Are never gonna get angry at me
19:26For something that I did?
19:28No
19:28Can I promise
19:29That they're never gonna get
19:30A speed ticket
19:32Or a broken bone
19:33Or drink too much?
19:34No
19:34But I can promise you
19:35That I love my kids
19:36More than anything else
19:39In this entire world
19:40And I would do anything
19:41For them
19:41Anything
19:43And I will always
19:45Always
19:45Put them first
19:46Do you have anything
19:54To say in response?
19:57Yes
19:58I do
19:58I don't believe you
20:02Why do you think
20:10It's your fault
20:10Everyone's mad at each other
20:11Because I was all mad
20:14At my dad
20:14Because of that
20:15One cat
20:16And then that made
20:17My grandma and grandpa
20:18Mad at him
20:19And then my dad
20:20And then my dad got angry at me
20:21For saying that I wanted
20:22To move to Boston
20:23With them
20:24You do still want to live with them
20:26I don't know anymore
20:29Can I take a guess
20:34Why that is?
20:35Okay
20:37Well my guessing
20:38Let me know if I'm wrong
20:39Is that when your dad went missing
20:41Is that when your dad went missing
20:41You got scared
20:42You might never see him again
20:43And that got you thinking
20:45About whether you really
20:46Do want to go to Boston
20:47Or
20:48You just said it
20:49Because you were really
20:50Angry at your dad
20:51But you didn't really mean it
20:53Yeah
20:56But grandma
20:58Grandpa
20:59I think I did mean it
21:01And now they're trying
21:02To make it happen
21:03Well it's not too late buddy
21:05You can just tell them
21:07You change your mind
21:07Even if I do
21:10It just seems like
21:12Nobody's ever going to be
21:13Happy again
21:14You know what
21:19I don't know
21:20What else I could do
21:21To make you believe me
21:22Let's see if we can
21:23Find an answer to that
21:24Why don't you believe
21:27That Mr. DiMero
21:27Will prioritize his children
21:29Could I
21:31Could I just
21:32Preface this first
21:33Chad
21:36We love you
21:39We know
21:42How much you love
21:43Our grandchildren
21:44We know
21:47How much Abigail loved you
21:48We wouldn't even consider
21:52Taking Thomas and Charlotte
21:54Away from him
21:55Not until the accident
21:57And when the doctor told me
22:02That he needed to put
22:03Thomas' dislocated shoulder
22:05Back into place
22:06Thomas didn't want his dad
22:10In the hospital room
22:11He wanted me there instead
22:14So I was there
22:16And I was holding his hand
22:18While he was screaming
22:20In pain
22:20And that is when
22:22I changed my mind
22:23About having the children
22:25Come live with you
22:26Yes
22:26I did tell Chad
22:30That he needed to be wise
22:33And wonderful
22:34But more than that
22:35I just told him
22:36He needed to be there
22:38For his kids
22:40And he wasn't
22:42No matter how many promises
22:43He made
22:44He was still with Cat
22:46And Thomas could have died
22:47So before we left the hospital
22:51I told him
22:52I said
22:53We do not trust you
22:54To care for our grandchildren
22:56So I'm going to honor
22:57Thomas' wishes
22:58And take him and Charlotte
23:00To Boston
23:01And if he tried to stop us
23:03We were going to fight
23:04For custody
23:04And that is exactly
23:05What we did
23:06As I was reading
23:20About Nellie's
23:22Struggle
23:23To overcome her heartbreak
23:25I realized
23:26All of a sudden
23:27Doug would have loved this book
23:29And I
23:30I found myself
23:31Having a one way
23:32Conversation with him
23:33Of course
23:34Because I believe
23:35I know exactly
23:36The things
23:36That he would be saying
23:37But Doug was
23:39An avid reader
23:40Oh yes
23:41Yes
23:42Those were some
23:43Of the sweetest moments
23:44In our marriage
23:44When we would read
23:45Things together
23:46And then
23:46Share our thoughts
23:48About them
23:49I remember
23:50A discussion with Doug
23:51About a book
23:52About music
23:53And
23:54I don't know
23:55He had such
23:56Wonderful insights
23:57He was passionate
23:58About music
23:59He had such
24:00A wide-ranging life
24:01He knew so many things
24:02And I
24:03I miss those conversations
24:07And
24:10When I read
24:13Something new
24:13Something that's
24:14Really good
24:14Really good
24:16Really wonderful
24:16I want to
24:19Tell him about it
24:20I'm the only person
24:25In the room
24:25That has
24:25Imaginary conversations
24:27My wife's been gone
24:29These 15 years
24:30And I still do it
24:31I'm not sure
24:33They're imaginary
24:34Sometimes I swear
24:37That Victor and Mickey
24:38Respond to me
24:39Not that they always
24:41Agreed with each other
24:42Well then
24:45Did you manage
24:45To read the book?
24:49Um
24:49I'm sorry
24:50Oh I just asked
24:52Whether you'd managed
24:53To read the book
24:54I know
24:56Maggie hasn't quite
24:58Finished it
24:58Yes
24:59I did read it
25:01Do you have anything
25:03To say?
25:03Uh
25:06No
25:08No
25:09I think I'll just
25:10Um
25:10Listen
25:12Liz
25:18We talked about this
25:20You know why
25:22Chad and I
25:22Can't be together?
25:24Because of his kids
25:25He wants to do
25:27What's best for them
25:27And you know what?
25:28I want him to too
25:29But you weren't wrong
25:32I was thinking about him
25:33Oh
25:35Okay
25:36Not like that
25:38I um
25:39I happened to find out
25:42That he
25:42Had a really important
25:43Meeting today
25:44And I'm just really
25:45Hoping that it went well
25:48Mr. Devereaux
25:55I'd like to hear more
25:57From you
25:58Well
26:01Like Jennifer
26:03Said
26:04We never dreamed
26:06That the day would come
26:08When we would need
26:09To take
26:09Thomas and Charlotte
26:11Away from their father
26:12But
26:13The last few months
26:16Chad has broken
26:18Our trust again
26:19And again
26:20And
26:21When Thomas saw
26:23Chad with Kat
26:24We
26:25See
26:25But there was
26:26No there was nothing
26:26Romantic about that
26:27It was just a hug
26:28You keep saying this
26:30And you can't seem
26:30To stay away from her
26:32Right
26:32Which means that
26:33You obviously
26:33Still have feelings for her
26:34Jack
26:35See
26:35That's what this is
26:37That's what this is about
26:38Is you want
26:39You both just want me
26:40To be alone
26:41You don't want me
26:42To have feelings
26:43For anyone else
26:44You don't want me
26:44To be with anybody
26:45But your daughter
26:46And I miss her too
26:47That's not it
26:48That's not it at all
26:49Kat is not the first person
26:51That you've dated
26:51Since Abigail died
26:53She's not
26:54I mean
26:54You even moved in
26:55With someone
26:56Who he liked very much
26:57He would love
26:57Nothing more
26:58Than for you
26:59To meet someone
27:00That you could spend
27:01The rest of your life with
27:02Someone kind
27:04And honest
27:05And caring
27:06Someone who
27:08Abigail would love
27:10To help raise
27:11Her children
27:12But that person
27:14Is not
27:15And will never be
27:17Kat Green
27:18I know
27:26Feels like everyone's
27:27Fighting
27:27They'll never make up
27:29That's hard right
27:30But
27:33You know
27:33Your dad and your
27:34Grandparents
27:34Are at mediation today
27:35You know what that is
27:37My dad tried to explain
27:40But it was confusing
27:41Okay
27:42So
27:43They both
27:44Disagree
27:44On where you
27:45And Charlotte
27:46Should live
27:46One way to work
27:47That out
27:48Is you go
27:49Before a judge
27:49In family law court
27:50Where I went
27:52Right
27:52Now the way is mediation
27:54So when you sit down
27:55With someone
27:56Who's really good
27:56At helping people
27:57Talk things through
27:57And
27:58Try to reach a compromise
28:00That works for everyone
28:01You think that's possible?
28:04I really hope so
28:18That's a psychiatrist
28:20That's a psychiatrist for you
28:21You pour out your heart
28:23To them
28:23They listen
28:24They listen
28:24Say very little
28:25Never reciprocate
28:27That's how it works
28:30That's how it works
28:30Uh-huh
28:31Look
28:35I'm not here as a psychiatrist
28:38And I won't
28:38Be reciprocating
28:40So
28:41Maybe I shouldn't be here
28:44Oh
28:45Oh
28:45No
28:46No
28:46Marlena
28:47I
28:47I was joking
28:49Oh
28:50I understood that
28:51But
28:52I think I should go
28:54Felicity
29:01I know
29:03That you really wish
29:05Chad and I
29:05Could be together
29:06You have made that
29:08Abundantly clear
29:09But it's like
29:12Sometimes
29:15No matter how much
29:16You wish for something
29:17To happen
29:17It's just
29:20It's not possible
29:22But
29:25What?
29:27You know what
29:28Definitely is possible
29:29But
29:30Okay
29:30Ice cream
29:33Ice cream
29:33Ice cream
29:34You scream
29:34We all scream for ice cream
29:35Let's go
29:35Let's go
29:36Let's go
29:36Let's go
29:36Let's go
29:37Let's go
29:37Why don't we all pause
29:41And
29:42Take a breath
29:43Mr. and Mrs. Devereaux
29:50What made you
29:51Agree to mediation
29:52After you initially
29:53Took this case to court
29:54Uh
29:56Our lawyer
29:57Suggested it
29:58And at first
29:59We didn't
30:00Think that it was a good idea
30:02And then
30:02Then what
30:04Then Chad was kidnapped
30:08Along with several members
30:11Of the DeMera family
30:12I'm sure you
30:13Heard about it in the news
30:15I did
30:16And you know
30:18And you know when we first heard
30:19We thought
30:19Oh my goodness
30:21Thomas and Charlotte
30:22Are DeMera's
30:23So we need to get them
30:24As far away
30:25From Chad's family
30:26As possible
30:27And keep them safe
30:28You said when you first heard
30:31Did your feelings change
30:32Yes
30:33Yes
30:33Yes
30:35After Chad was kidnapped
30:39Thomas he cried himself to sleep
30:42Every night
30:43He was afraid that he would never see his father again
30:46And
30:48Miraculously
30:50And
30:51Thankfully
30:53Chad was rescued
30:54And when we saw how relieved Thomas was to have his father back
30:59We realized we were
31:00We were going about this custody dilemma all wrong
31:04And we just
31:06Need to find a solution to agree on
31:09Chad I promise you
31:15We
31:15We are not trying to punish you
31:17We're
31:17Now what are you trying to do?
31:19I'm just trying to think of every way possible
31:22To keep these kids safe
31:23And happy
31:24Then we have the exact same goal
31:26Melinda and I have come up with a proposal
31:33I hope you will be open to it
31:36You
31:38And Melinda Trask
31:39Can't wait to hear this
31:43You like baseball right?
31:51Of course
31:51Okay
31:52So in baseball
31:53Both teams want to win
31:54But that's not what
31:55Your dad and your grandparents want
31:57Like they're not trying to beat each other
31:59Trying to work together
32:01To see what's best for you and Charlotte
32:02You know how much everyone loves you
32:05Right?
32:07Especially your dad
32:07Yes
32:09But
32:10But what?
32:13My dad lied to me
32:14A lot
32:16So you feel like you can't trust him anymore
32:20I don't know if I ever will again
32:24Well
32:27When someone breaks your trust
32:29It takes a long time to fix it
32:31But you know
32:33You can never fix it with your dad
32:34If you don't give him another chance
32:36You think you can do that?
32:42I'll try
32:43Jack and Jennifer are really incredible grandparents
32:53And I know how much my kids love spending time with them
32:56Which is why my attorney and I
32:58Thought that they could come and visit
33:00Every summer for a month
33:02A month
33:05Yeah well and
33:08You're welcome to come here
33:09And visit anytime you want
33:11But
33:13I get to retain
33:16Full legal and physical custody
33:18I am not budging on that
33:20Do you have a plan as well?
33:29Our plan has changed
33:30When Jennifer and I first brought this suit
33:34Thomas was
33:37Really
33:39Upset
33:40And insisted
33:41That he did not want to stay with his father
33:45But after Chad was kidnapped
33:48He
33:49He realized how much he loves his dad
33:52And how much he wants to stay with him
33:54Yes I mean really
33:55Our only sticking point in all of this
34:00Is Chad's involvement with Kat Green
34:03If Chad could promise
34:05That he
34:05Would never again
34:07Have any kind of relationship with Kat
34:08We would drop our suit
34:09For custody
34:11Mr. DiMera
34:16Do you agree
34:17To this point?
34:23I do
34:24Yeah
34:24You have my work
34:26And
34:28And
34:28We would like
34:29To have two months
34:31That you can
34:32Vacations
34:33And
34:34Holidays
34:34Yeah
34:35And also
34:35If we could just
34:36Revisit
34:38The custody issue
34:39If
34:40Thomas changed his mind
34:42And he didn't want to live with Chad
34:43Sorry
34:44No
34:44That's
34:45That's completely unreasonable
34:46I mean
34:47Why would it be unreasonable
34:49To
34:50To hear what your son
34:51Has to say
34:52And give him a say
34:53And what's
34:54Of course it isn't
34:55But he's still a kid
34:55And I'm not going to
34:56I'm not going to allow him
34:57To hold this over my head
34:58Every time
34:59I try to enforce
35:00A rule
35:00That he doesn't like
35:01You know
35:02And
35:03And he shouldn't
35:05Be able to control
35:06Where his sister lives
35:07Jennifer
35:08No
35:09No
35:10You're right
35:10You're right
35:11Point taken
35:12So
35:16Do we have an agreement?
35:27Chad
35:28Yeah
35:32We have an agreement
35:37We have an agreement
35:58Marlena
35:59Please don't go
36:01Marlena
36:01What I said
36:02Was silly
36:03It was foolish
36:04I didn't mean
36:05To upset you
36:06Oh darling
36:07I know you didn't
36:08I
36:08I know that
36:09The thing is
36:13That it was difficult
36:14For me to come here
36:15And I
36:16I thought that I should
36:18So I forced myself
36:19But
36:19Now that I
36:22Now that I'm here
36:24I see that I'm not
36:25I'm not ready for it
36:27Oh God
36:32What have I done
36:33Listen
36:35Miss Don's
36:35Your fault
36:36Don't blame yourself
36:37It's as we suspected
36:39It's
36:39It's just that
36:40It's too soon
36:42For her
36:42Elena wasn't ready
36:45To be here
36:45That's all
36:46But she did read the book
36:49And she listened
36:51She'll be back
36:53Hi
37:03Hello
37:04Thank you so much
37:05For keeping an eye on Thomas
37:07Oh
37:07It's my pleasure
37:08You need to grab something
37:09From the other room
37:10Yeah
37:10Thank you
37:11How'd it go?
37:17Um
37:17Well
37:18We didn't think we'd meet
37:19Your dad home
37:20So we're just gonna wait
37:21Till he gets here
37:22And then we can talk about it
37:23Oh
37:23Tell me now
37:24Please
37:24Okay well
37:26It is good news
37:27The mediation
37:28Went well
37:29Really?
37:31Yes
37:32I really think we came to an agreement
37:35Thomas
37:35Listen
37:38Okay
37:41Your dad
37:42He is going to keep custody
37:44He is going to keep custody
37:44Of you and Charlotte
37:46But you will get to visit us
37:48Every single summer
37:48And you know what he promised
37:51That he would never
37:54Start a relationship
37:56With Kat Green
37:56Ever again
37:57So Thomas
38:03What do you think?
38:04Oh
38:15What a wonderful surprise
38:17Yeah
38:18Yeah
38:18Well
38:18I thought I'd stop by
38:20And pick out some books
38:21For the kids
38:21Give you an update
38:23Yes
38:24Yes
38:24I've been on pins and needles
38:25All day
38:26So how'd it go
38:27How'd it go
38:27It went well
38:28Yeah
38:30I'm cautiously optimistic
38:31That we reached an agreement
38:32That we can all be happy about
38:34Oh
38:34Good news
38:37Great news
38:39Thomas
38:48What do you think about the agreement?
38:51It's not good enough
38:53It
38:54Well
38:55What do you mean, Thomas?
38:58I mean
38:58Dad lied about Kat before
39:00And you know he won't do it again
39:03I mean
39:13Dad
