00:00Well, Trey is out like a light.
00:04Yeah, he had a big day.
00:07Ah, a much more stressful day than we thought it was going to be.
00:13For us, that is.
00:15Yeah, but at least a happy ending.
00:19It's just too bad that we had to cancel the adoption party.
00:23Yeah, well, you know, aside from the fact that we are both completely emotionally exhausted,
00:28I don't think my family would have been in the mood for a party today with Rachel being sent back
00:35to Bayview.
00:36Yeah, God, that is just so sad.
00:39Yeah.
00:40Yeah, I mean, I feel terrible for my Aunt Kristen, for Brady, for Tate.
00:48I'm just thankful that Trey had absolutely no clue about all of the things that went sideways today.
00:55Oh, our little angel doesn't have a worry in the world.
00:59No, he does not, and if it's up to us, he never will.
01:11Hey, stranger.
01:13Oh.
01:14You think this goes here?
01:19Hey, what's wrong? You seem upset.
01:24Uh, it's my sister.
01:26She has to go back to Bayview.
01:38Hi.
01:39Hi, honey.
01:41How are you?
01:44I'm all right.
01:47I'm, I'm concerned about Rachel.
01:53She was in Bayview, and then she was out, and then she was back in.
01:57That's a lot of change.
02:01Yeah.
02:02But it's what's best for her in the long run, right?
02:06Oh, yes, absolutely.
02:08I, I, I, I just feel bad, the trouble everybody's gone through.
02:27It smells weird in here.
02:30It's like, like overripe bananas.
02:36Honey, I know you don't want to be here.
02:38I get that, but...
02:39Stop talking like it's a done deal.
02:42Mommy's talking to Dr. Gregory right now, and she's going to get me out of this stupid place again.
02:47Rachel, I, I, I know that your mother told you that, and she will fight for you, as she always
02:51does.
02:52But even she understands, this is a battle she can't win.
02:56Yes, she can.
03:03What are you doing?
03:05I'm manifesting going home.
03:11Baby, the judge has said that you need to be here at Bayview a little longer.
03:16If you try to leave, it will be breaking the law.
03:19So, I'm a prisoner then?
03:22No, Pumpkin, you're not a prisoner.
03:25This is not a punishment, baby.
03:26This is where you need to be to get better.
03:30Well, that's not going to happen.
03:32Not here.
03:33Because this is a horrible place, Daddy.
03:36With bad food and crazy people.
03:39I hate it here.
03:44It's okay.
03:46I know.
03:54Sophia, I know this was the outcome you were hoping for.
03:59But remember what I told you before.
04:02We went through this.
04:03The odds of us winning weren't very high.
04:06Well, maybe they would have been higher if you hadn't let E.J. DiMera ruin any chance that we had.
04:11You barely even put up a fight.
04:12That is not true.
04:13I did everything that I could, but Mr. DiMera had a stronger case.
04:17Sure he did.
04:21You know what?
04:21I have an idea.
04:23Why don't we grab a bite before we head back to Bayview?
04:26You can go to Buddy's.
04:29No way.
04:32You're not hungry?
04:35No, I am.
04:39And I will go to Buddy's, sure.
04:43But I'm not going back to Bayview.
04:57Like sand through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.
05:14Your dinner is served, my love.
05:19That is really sweet, Johnny, but I don't have much of an appetite.
05:25My stomach's still kind of in nods over what happened today.
05:29I get it.
05:30But listen, you're not just eating for you, right?
05:36You're also eating for Quattro.
05:39Who?
05:41Well, look, I know we both agreed on Trey because it means three in Italian and Spanish, too, I think.
05:53Uh, anyway, for John III, but I realized that it also has a double meaning because he made us a
06:04family of three.
06:06Oh, and Quattro will make us a family of four.
06:11I guess he will.
06:13Oh, that's actually kind of cute.
06:15Yeah.
06:16Oh, kind of like you.
06:17Yeah.
06:22Uh, and I, I know that I should just let it go and, you know, just be grateful that all
06:30the drama of today had a happy ending.
06:34But, Johnny, I just, I still cannot believe that we came this close to losing Trey again.
06:40I mean, the nerve of Sophia showing up like that.
06:43Look, hey, hey, Trey is here now with us.
06:52He is our son, officially and forever, and there is nothing that Sophia or anyone can do to take him
07:01away from us.
07:05Oh, my God.
07:07Rachel has to go back to Bayview?
07:08Is it because what happened with the pills?
07:11I don't know.
07:12Honestly, I haven't talked to my dad yet, but I'm guessing if my little sister is capable of giving you
07:19drugs that could hurt you,
07:21then, yeah, but Bayview is probably where she should be.
07:23I just.
07:25Just what?
07:29Before the trial, I looked at her and I told her that I promise everything's going to be okay.
07:37And I just, I don't want to be another adult that just lies to her to make her feel better,
07:44you know?
07:45She's not going to think that.
07:48You're her big brother, okay?
07:49She absolutely looks up to you.
07:52Yeah, well, using me as a pawn and a plot to drug my girlfriend?
07:56Yeah, it's not really giving me little sis who looks up to me vibes.
08:00I'm just, I'm angry at her, Holly.
08:02I know.
08:03I am too.
08:05But she's just a little girl, and she's had a really tough year.
08:10Yeah.
08:12No, I know.
08:13I, I just miss how it used to be.
08:21You know, we, we, we used to make each other laugh all the time, and we bonded over so many
08:28things.
08:29Like, I mean, losing our grandpa John.
08:33She was so broken up over that, and so sweet, and we comforted each other.
08:43I just, I just want my little sister to die.
08:47Mm-hmm.
08:54Mom, none of this is your fault.
08:57I, do I really have to remind you that Kristen is the reason that we're all in this mess?
09:03Had she not taken Rachel out of Bayview, then you wouldn't be in a position of having to put her
09:08back in.
09:10I mean, honestly, Kristen put both you and me in a very difficult position, and honestly, I'm very afraid that
09:16I'm, uh, never mind.
09:20I don't want to make this about me.
09:22What were you saying?
09:24What are you afraid of?
09:28That my career is going to suffer for it.
09:35Did you say you're not...
09:37Not going back to Bayview.
09:38Yes, that's exactly what I said.
09:43My mom only signed me in there because I was basically a mute.
09:47And now that I've suddenly found my voice again, and lost my last chance to stop the adoption,
09:55what purpose would it serve for me to go lie low in that gloomy old loony bin?
10:01And just to double check, I'm not required to be there, am I?
10:05Because I'm an adult.
10:07No, you're not required to be there, but Sophia, I really do think it's what's best for your recovery.
10:13I'm going to be the judge of what's best for me now, okay?
10:20My whole life, everyone else has been deciding for me what role I play.
10:27The cautionary tale.
10:31The victim.
10:32The villain.
10:34The good daughter.
10:38But I'm done letting other people write my stories for me.
10:44And if I don't even get a say over what happens to my own son,
10:54then I at least get a say over what happens to my life.
11:03Look, babies, I know, I know you don't like this.
11:07I don't get it.
11:09I've done everything I'm supposed to.
11:11I've been going to therapy every day.
11:12I've been super nice to Sarah.
11:14And you heard what the therapist said, that I'm making an effort.
11:18Like, what have I done wrong?
11:21You really don't know.
11:23How?
11:25You want to tell me about the pills that you gave to Holly?
11:30What about them?
11:33What about them, honey?
11:34I know that you haven't been taking your meds, okay?
11:36Yes, I have.
11:38Don't you do that.
11:39Do what?
11:40Don't you do it.
11:41Don't you lie to me this way.
11:42I'm not lying to you.
11:43Really?
11:43See, then why don't you tell me how those pills got into Holly's skin supplement bottle?
11:51What?
11:52That I had nothing to do with that.
12:07Hey, listen.
12:09I'm sure once Rachel's back at Bayview and she's actually taking her meds, then I'm sure she's going to get
12:16better.
12:17Yeah.
12:18Hope so.
12:21Speaking of Rachel's meds, how are you doing?
12:25I'm good.
12:26I'm fine.
12:27I had a physical with Sarah and she basically said you can't cold turkey off these antipsychotic meds, so she's
12:34prescribing me a slightly lower dose.
12:36I'll take those for a few more days and then the meds should be completely out of my system.
12:42I shouldn't need to taper off because I just took the pills once, right?
12:46Right.
12:49God, I'm just so relieved to understand why I've been acting so weird lately.
12:53Yeah, that it can be fixed by just stopping the meds.
12:58Yeah.
13:00It's just too bad I can't fix the damage to my reputation or my friendship with Ari.
13:10You know, I never thought that I'd say this, but I'm really grateful that your father showed up when you
13:20did.
13:21He really came through for us.
13:23Yeah.
13:25Yeah, he sure did.
13:28And, uh, look, Chanel, I just, I wanted to say to you, after everything that my father has done and
13:35knowing how you feel about him, it was, it was really big of you to thank him.
13:42Well, I was, I am grateful for everything that he did for us today.
13:53Look, in my eyes, the road to redemption for your father is a long one, okay?
14:02But today, he made some headway.
14:09What do you mean your career is going to suffer?
14:14Honey, what did the judge say to you after I left?
14:19Judge Stabney threatened to charge me with prosecutorial misconduct for the actions I took to protect Rachel.
14:28What?
14:28How could that be?
14:30Well, I should have recused myself, but I cared more about my family than my job, obviously.
14:39And what is wrong with that?
14:41Well, it could cost me my career, not to mention it almost bit other family members.
14:47You know, when I was representing Johnny and Chanel in their adoption hearing, Judge Stabney barely let me get a
14:54word in.
14:55Well, I thought the adoption hearing was a formality.
15:01It was, until Sophia Choi and her esteemed attorney, Melinda Trask, decided to make a surprise appearance.
15:12Look, Sophia, I get it, okay?
15:15It's only natural that you want to reclaim power over your life.
15:18Exactly.
15:20Ever since I got pregnant, everything that I've done has been a natural and normal reaction to the trauma that
15:28I've been through and people trying to have control over my life.
15:35And now all I want to do is just move on and move on from Tate, move on from my
15:42mother, from all of this.
15:45And I'm going to go someplace else without all the baggage.
15:48And I'm going to go somewhere where I can be myself.
15:51And I get to live the life that I'm meant to live.
15:54I want that for you too, Sophia.
15:57But to get that life, you need help.
16:02So I think that checking yourself out of Bayview today is a terrible idea.
16:14I'm going to say this to you one more time.
16:17Sweetheart, don't lie to me.
16:19I'm not lying to you, I swear.
16:21Then explain to me, explain to me why you gave Tate a bottle of vitamins to give to Holly.
16:27I was just trying to do something nice.
16:32Sweetheart, just because you have medication that works for you doesn't mean that medication is going to work for others.
16:39It is not okay to pass off your meds as vitamins.
16:43What?
16:44I wasn't passing them off as...
16:47I really thought they were vitamins.
16:51Rachel, are you telling me that you just, out of the blue, thought it would be a fun idea to
16:56give Holly a bottle of vitamins as a gift?
16:59That's a pretty strange gift.
17:02I know.
17:04But it wasn't my idea.
17:07Sophia asked me to do it.
17:10Sophia?
17:10Yeah.
17:11She said she wanted to do something nice for Holly.
17:14So I was just trying to be a good friend.
17:16That's all.
17:32Holly, it's not your fault that you were being drugged.
17:36I mean, people have to understand that.
17:39Yeah, but will they?
17:41I mean, I doubt anyone's going to believe my boyfriend's younger sister was drugging me.
17:47Though, I don't want to get Rachel in any more trouble.
17:50So, maybe we just leave her name out of it.
17:55Right.
17:56Yeah, we should.
17:59Thank you for being so forgiving of her.
18:02Yeah.
18:03I mean, I care about her, too.
18:05And I just want her to get better.
18:08Yeah.
18:11Even so, I'm just so sorry that she put you through all that.
18:16I don't understand why she would do something like this.
18:21Yeah, I've been wondering that myself.
18:28So, Sophia asked you to give those pills to Holly.
18:32Yeah.
18:32And she was all excited about it, too.
18:34She said she wanted to do something nice for her.
18:38Okay.
18:39I need to back up.
18:40I need you to tell me everything that happened from the beginning.
18:46Well, after I came home from Bayview, Sophia mailed me the supplements and asked me to give them to Holly.
18:52But she didn't want me to tell anyone that it came from her.
18:57Didn't you think that was a little suspicious, honey?
19:00I mean, kind of.
19:02But she just said it was a random act of kindness, that she didn't want any things for it.
19:06Plus, she kept bugging me about it.
19:11How could she bug you about it if you were already at home?
19:17She called me.
19:19She used her phone.
19:22Excuse me, how did she have a phone, Rachel?
19:26I'm sorry, Daddy.
19:28I took money from your wallet and she snuck out and bought one.
19:34When you, when you pretended to be her at Bed Shack, right?
19:39But I swear, I have been taking my meds.
19:43I believe you.
19:45But I think that those pills that you gave to Holly were actually Sophia's.
19:51What?
19:52But that's so, like, gross and messed up.
19:54Why would she want Holly taking her pills?
19:58Sweetheart, it's very common knowledge that Sophia does not like Holly.
20:04And that medication made Holly act very strange and very much not like herself.
20:11And Sophia knew that that would happen.
20:13But I thought the medication was supposed to make you feel better.
20:16Only for people who actually need it.
20:20Oh.
20:21And Holly didn't.
20:23Is she okay?
20:26She's okay now.
20:28Yeah.
20:30Listen, um, I know Nurse Nettie is ready for you and you, you have to do your intake meeting.
20:36I don't want to go to anything.
20:38I know you don't want to go, but you have to do it, sweetheart.
20:40Nettie, S'mores was just getting used to me being home.
20:43He didn't understand why I had to say goodbye.
20:46Honey, S'mores is going to be fine.
20:50He's going to miss you.
20:53I'll take care of him.
20:55I will miss you, too.
20:57You're not going to be here for long.
20:59I will make sure I will do everything I possibly can to make sure that you are here for a
21:05very short time.
21:06And we'll get through it together, okay?
21:13You know I love you, right?
21:17I love you, too.
21:32Honestly, hearing you say that about my dad is, uh, is a huge relief.
21:38I mean, don't, don't get me wrong, okay?
21:41I have no desire to be close with him ever again, but I have been thinking, and especially after today,
21:51I feel like it would be nice to have some kind of relationship with him.
21:59Oh, yeah.
22:01I'm guessing that probably be easier for you than shutting him out completely.
22:06It would, yeah.
22:09But look, Chanel, you are more important to me than, than anything, anyone.
22:18So, if I'm going to do this, I need to know that you're okay with it.
22:29So, E.J. swooped you to save the day, huh?
22:33Was he wearing a cape or that tiresome three-piece treat he's so fond of?
22:37Okay, listen, I'm just telling you what happened.
22:41And besides, isn't that a good thing?
22:43You know, that he saved the day, as you put it?
22:55Brady.
22:57Brady?
22:58How's Rachel?
23:00She's okay, but you're not going to believe this.
23:04Rachel wasn't the one that gave Holly the, the meds.
23:08Well, what do you mean?
23:09Of course she was.
23:10No, she physically gave them to her, but she didn't know that the pills had been switched.
23:16Switched?
23:17Who switched them?
23:20Sophia Choi.
23:25Look, Sophia, I know what happened in that courtroom was very disappointing.
23:32But do you really think now is the right time to be making such a big decision?
23:38Actually, Melinda, I, I think that right now is exactly the right time.
23:46I disagree.
23:47Marie, we both know that you are not being able to talk with just the tip of the iceberg.
23:55So here's my advice.
23:57Drop the ruse.
24:00Talk to the doctors at Bayview.
24:02Let them help you.
24:04Help me do what?
24:06Stare blankly at a watercolor painting with saliva dripping down my shirt?
24:10Oh, come on.
24:11Don't be so dramatic.
24:12Dramatic?
24:14Why don't you go spend a few months living in that hellhole and then report back to me?
24:20Okay, okay.
24:21Say you do go out on your own.
24:24You've got to go home, right?
24:26You don't have resources to do otherwise?
24:30So here's my advice.
24:32Go back to Bayview.
24:35Finish your treatment.
24:37And then take time to figure out what's next.
24:43You are a smart, capable young woman with a bright future ahead of you.
24:51You don't run from yourself, Sophia.
25:09Look, like I said before, I never want to make you feel guilty for having a relationship with your father.
25:15With, of course, clear and well-established boundaries.
25:20Right, right, of course.
25:23And I guess if having EJ on the periphery of our lives prevents him from trying to be in the
25:31center of it,
25:34then I'm on board.
25:37And those boundaries, I want us to figure them out together.
25:44Okay, you will do that.
25:48Okay.
25:49All right?
25:51And, Johnny, I really appreciate you being so mindful about how this potential relationship could affect not just you,
26:02but us and our family.
26:05Well, you know, you're partly to, uh, to thank for that, for getting me that book on mindfulness by, uh,
26:14Eckhart Tolle.
26:15Right.
26:16Yes.
26:17Well, anyway, whoever wrote it, uh, it just, it kind of wakes you up to the fact that, like, hey,
26:23other people exist, too.
26:25Which has also made me appreciate you so much for being so understanding.
26:32Yeah.
26:34Well, while I made the understanding, I'm not sure my mother will.
26:40Oh.
26:41Um, but you know what?
26:42That, that's a conversation for another day.
26:51Hey, since your break's almost over, you want to talk about something more cheerful?
26:55Yes.
26:56Absolutely.
26:57I'm all for that.
26:58How was the party for Trey?
27:01Well, not such a cheerful topic after all, since the party didn't actually happen.
27:06What?
27:07Why not?
27:08Wait, were Johnny and Chanel not able to?
27:10Oh, no, no, no, no.
27:11Trey was officially adopted, but I think Johnny and Chanel were just emotionally drained.
27:16Weird.
27:17I thought they'd be really happy about it.
27:20Yeah.
27:22Uh, they were happy with the eventual outcome, but Sophia tried to sabotage the adoption again.
27:30Sophia?
27:32You've got to be kidding.
27:33No.
27:34Unfortunately, I'm not.
27:37Uh, Melinda had Sophia furloughed or whatever from Bayview, and they showed up in court and
27:42tried to get the judge to, uh, stop the adoption.
27:45What?
27:47How?
27:48Did she, like, show up with her whiteboard or something?
27:50Oh, no.
27:51She's apparently speaking now.
27:53What?
27:54Since when?
27:55Oh, my God.
27:57I don't know, but I'm just, I'm really glad her messed up little mission was unsuccessful,
28:02but, yeah, Johnny and Chanel were really shaken up about it.
28:06Oh, wow.
28:08Oh, my God.
28:10You know, I honestly thought Sophia was trying to put all her grudges behind her.
28:16I mean, remember how she invited me back to Bayview just so she could apologize?
28:20I mean, I was skeptical about her motives, but, I don't know, her apologies seemed pretty sincere.
28:27Although now I...
28:31Wait a minute.
28:33What?
28:35Tate, you know how all of this started when my skin supplements fell out of my purse at Bayview?
28:42Yeah, that's when we figured Rachel must have switched them.
28:46Oh, that's the thing.
28:47I dropped them in Sophia's room.
28:53So, the pills that Rachel gave Holly were actually switched by Sophia?
28:59Apparently so.
29:00Ray.
29:00Hey.
29:02Rachel is at her intake meeting, so I thought it would come by, and I actually just wanted to talk
29:08this through with you.
29:09Okay.
29:09Well, I hope you don't mind if your sister is part of the conversation, considering I'm the district attorney,
29:14and I'm just hearing about this, like, five minutes ago.
29:17No, I just found out about it myself.
29:19Okay?
29:20Oh.
29:22Well, I think we should be pretty grateful that Judge Dabney's none the wiser, and that, you know, this didn't
29:28affect the hearing.
29:29Well, it did.
29:31It did.
29:31I mean, Marlena, you testified that Rachel should go back to Bayview partly because of this whole pill fiasco, right?
29:39Yes, that was part of it.
29:41Okay.
29:42Well, turns out this whole thing was a big misunderstanding.
29:46And, look, I could kick myself for not asking Rachel about it before, but the fact is, now that we
29:50know what actually happened, can we undo this?
29:56Can you get my daughter home?
30:09Come on.
30:10It's just one last word before you make it to level six.
30:12No, 17.
30:13Chill, okay?
30:14I think I'm thinking.
30:16I got it.
30:17Jejeune.
30:19Jejeune?
30:19What does jejeune mean?
30:21It means naive, simplistic.
30:24Oh.
30:26Well, I, uh, sorry, I apologize for being a bit jejeune during this game, but, uh, to be fair, I'm
30:36a little tired.
30:38Oh, yeah, well, me too.
30:42You know, I do have to admit that I do love that we get to spend our evenings together now
30:49that Trey is sleeping through the night, well, most of it anyway.
30:55Were we, uh, were we, uh, were we expecting someone?
30:58Well, I, uh, I don't think so.
31:02I'll see who it is.
31:10Brady, I wish it was that simple, but mom's testimony is on the record, and the judge's verdict's been rendered.
31:18Besides, Judge Dabney didn't even know about the pill swap, and she still sent Rachel back to Bayview.
31:25You're saying there's no way we can fix this?
31:29I mean, from a legal standpoint, it would be very difficult to undo what's been done.
31:39I don't think we should.
31:48So your skin supplements, you think you dropped them in Sophia's room?
31:52I don't think. I know I did.
31:57Like, we know that Rachel befriended Sophia in Bayview.
32:02You know, Sophia kind of saw Rachel as, like, her life raft.
32:06Yeah.
32:07And now that we know Sophia was able to speak, I doubt she had many nice things to say about
32:13me.
32:13In fact, she probably ripped me into shreds.
32:16So do you still think that Rachel did this?
32:19Because Sophia painted me out to be a raving bitch?
32:22Which, I don't know, maybe.
32:25Or maybe they could have done it together.
32:30Through all possibilities.
32:32Yeah.
32:34But the more I think about it, I get the sense Sophia must have been involved.
32:39I mean, she's the one who asked me to come back to Bayview.
32:43She...
32:44She's the one who knocked over my purse.
32:47Oh, my God.
32:48Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
32:49She knocked over your purse?
32:51Yes.
32:52And she made it look like an accident.
32:54Helped me pick up everything.
32:55But what if she did it on purpose?
32:59Tate, I don't think it was an accident.
33:04Oh, hey, Tate.
33:06Holly.
33:19What do you mean?
33:21I thought that believing that Rachel was involved in that pill swap,
33:27I thought that was the reason you testified the way you did.
33:31That was part of the reason.
33:36But even if I hadn't believed that, I still would have testified the same way.
33:43Brady, I think that Rachel can benefit by more time spent in treatment at Bayview.
33:54Look, she is a bright, brave, resilient little girl.
34:01And she is hurting.
34:07You're right.
34:10Right.
34:11It's as hard as her father to...
34:15It's painful for me.
34:16I know she needs the therapy.
34:20I told her that very thing earlier.
34:25Brady.
34:27She will get through this.
34:30And we're all going to help her.
34:34I know.
34:36I know.
34:39As far as Sophie is concerned,
34:41as angry as I am with her
34:44about using my daughter the way she did,
34:47I understand that she is a broken and troubled girl herself.
34:50And I do pray she gets the help she needs.
34:57What are you doing here?
34:59I'm sorry to show up unannounced.
35:04Um...
35:05I just wanted to apologize for what happened in court.
35:09I wanted nothing to do with it, but...
35:12My client, she was calling the shot.
35:14You don't get to, uh, to pick your clients anymore?
35:17Of course I do, but I...
35:21Okay, so, is that it?
35:23You knock on our door, wake up our baby,
35:26just to say,
35:27my bad, you're sorry for being Sophia's lawyer?
35:31No, actually, I'm...
35:34I'm here to warn you.
35:37Sophia signed herself out of Bayview.
35:40What?
35:41How?
35:42Well, she wasn't committed by the courts.
35:44Her mother signed her into Bayview
35:46when she was in a near-catatonic state.
35:49And she's of age now,
35:50and now she can communicate,
35:52so she can't be forced to stay there.
35:55All right, but there's...
35:56I mean, there's nothing Sophia can do, right,
35:59about... about Trey anymore?
36:00I mean, she can't...
36:02She can't take Trey away from you?
36:03No.
36:04Trey is yours legally.
36:07Okay, but still,
36:09Sophia loses to us in court,
36:11checks herself out of Bayview the same day...
36:13Johnny, I don't like this.
36:15In fact, it...
36:17it scares the hell out of me.
36:21Trey isurities,
36:22...
36:35To me,
36:37Neither do I know...Please
36:37to me or the family... Bye,
36:38reste. Will love
36:38you if you find yours friends? Bye.
36:38Bye.
36:38Bye.
