05:52i didn't realize that you two were
05:56cohabitating
05:57it's new
05:59very new
06:01as and like right now
06:03huh
06:05well
06:06congratulations
06:09uh
06:11things
06:11seem to be going well for you two
06:15they are
06:16so we decided it was time to take the next step
06:20well good for you
06:24i just um
06:26i didn't think you would want to come back here
06:29philip
06:31given what happened last time
06:34well i'm optimistic it'll go a lot better this time
06:39hope springs eternal
06:41right
06:42and hey your mom was cool with it
06:46uh-huh
06:48and xander
06:51how did he react
06:55haven't told him yet
06:58huh
07:00this was really just a legal issue maggie i mean as soon as we discovered that
07:06bonnie's one rainy afternoon was a clear-cut case of plagiarism right
07:10i've filed a lawsuit just like that
07:12we can let it slide
07:14surely you understand us wanting to block publication of bonnie's apparent fraud of a book
07:20no i can't
07:22because johnny was the object wasn't he
07:26he was a valued titan employee
07:28on loan to dimera which was always a risky proposition given his divided loyalties
07:34so you only hired him
07:35because you were hell-bent on sticking it to ej
07:39and because i have faith in his abilities
07:41hmm
07:43you are aware that he believes that this was a setup right
07:47that you would have him publish bonnie's book
07:50and then
07:51you would go in and
07:53sue dimera for plagiarism
07:56i'm aware that's his claim yes
08:00well
08:01is it true
08:08i promise
08:09i mean if i knew that bonnie's book was basically just
08:12a copy of yours
08:14i never would have bought the rights
08:16and i'll admit you know
08:19some of it was was you know due to in part to my ego
08:23i wanted to
08:25leave my mark
08:26on dimera before i went back to titan
08:30i really am sorry
08:32stuff especially
08:33because now there's this lawsuit that
08:36i'm sure you're gonna be dragged into
08:38and after everything you've been through
08:40it's just
08:43i appreciate your apology johnny
08:46but i'll be okay
08:49just know that i am going to protect you
08:51in any way that i can and i will not let this affect your writing career
08:57it doesn't matter
08:59it doesn't matter
09:00i don't have a writing career anymore
09:07so
09:07i don't think johnny's going to be returning to
09:11titan
09:13well
09:15why not
09:16well
09:17i'm gonna let him explain that to you but
09:19you know i was thinking
09:21titan is barely staying afloat
09:23maybe it's better that he stays at tamira
09:27so he he would uh
09:29he would still stay there even after theo comes back
09:33i don't know maybe i got that wrong like i said you should really talk to him
09:37i will
09:38i will
09:39so um anyway what was the situation at titan that you wanted to talk about
09:45well brady is uh brady is leaving basic black
09:49oh yes yes of course
09:51and of course that's that's important but
09:54um
09:56we want to make sure that
09:58basic black stays in the family
10:00yeah
10:01well that's understandable i mean the company meant
10:04it meant so much to john
10:08yeah
10:10and
10:11i'll be enough they have
10:12asked me to uh
10:14kind of step into the business
10:16what
10:17wow
10:18are you going to give up your practice
10:20no no no no i would just be
10:23consulting
10:24that's all i i know that
10:27you and john created the business
10:30so
10:33so
10:36i was wondering
10:38if you would like to step in and help me run basic black
10:47so your brother
10:49doesn't know
10:51you're moving in here
10:53hey i'm not hiding it from him
10:55i'd just rather not have him stomp all over my good news
10:59translation
10:59you're not going out of your way to poke the bear
11:01look it's not my fault xander's not welcome in the family abode
11:08if you say so
11:11i thought you said that you and xander were getting along again
11:16we are
11:17we are
11:19most of the time
11:20hmm
11:21well
11:23let's just hope that when xander does
11:25find out
11:27the old xander doesn't make a comeback
11:32i'm sure
11:32i'm sure it's much easier for johnny to blame kate and me than to acknowledge his incompetence
11:36no it's not about incompetence
11:39see i think it's you and kate knowing that johnny was a bit naive
11:43came up with his plan to exploit that
11:46not true
11:48oh no
11:50according to johnny that manuscript was left in the location
11:54where he would be sure to see it
11:56and he gave her her blessings
11:58sight unseen
12:00and you expect me to believe that that was just happenstance
12:04you can believe whatever you want i need
12:07ah
12:09this is what i'm going to tell you
12:11is that
12:11if you and kate did set up johnny
12:14to go down for this
12:15you crossed the line
12:19not just how you treated him
12:22but how it affects stephanie and bonnie
12:25sorry bonnie
12:26i'm supposed to feel sympathy for bonnie after you
12:28she plagiarized stephanie's work
12:30bonnie is family
12:34and that's not how we conduct business
12:36that's not how i conduct business
12:38and that is exactly why
12:39you aren't fit to run this company maggie
12:43you have neither the grit
12:44or the guts
12:46to keep tight and afloat
12:55so you want us to run basic data
12:59i mean you
13:01is that a crazy idea
13:05no i mean i'm flattered
13:08but i know that the publishing division keeps you very busy
13:12you know actually
13:13actually i'm honest
13:15i could find a way to work that out
13:19really
13:20really
13:20i would love to work with you
13:23that makes me so happy
13:27shall we toast
13:29to our partnership
13:31yes
13:31to our partnership
13:41do you want to write
13:42do you want to write anymore
13:45it was fun while it lasted
13:47but every chapter's got to come to an end right
13:51i just thought you promised kate
13:53kate will understand
13:54what
13:55she'll have to
14:00uh
14:01you know i should
14:02i should probably get going i promise
14:04janelle i'd pick up dinner
14:05well thank you for stopping by johnny and for the beautiful flowers
14:09of course i'm uh
14:11i'm glad you're feeling better
14:12and then seriously
14:14don't eat yourself up about the book
14:17okay
14:18yeah i'll uh
14:19i'll try
14:21take care
14:23stephan is
14:23good to see you alex
14:24we'll see you johnny
14:36that's it
14:38you don't want to write
14:39ever again
14:44maybe someday i'll get back to it
14:47but right now
14:51the idea of telling someone else's love story
14:56digging into that
14:58emotion
15:00the joy
15:01and the pain
15:05i just can't do it anymore
15:12if you're worried about xander doing something violent
15:15of course i'm worried about xander doing something violent
15:18but you know how hard he's worked on his anger issues
15:20the therapy with marlena
15:21and i also know that he is one set back away from going back to square one
15:28listen
15:29i know i'm not a member of this family and lord knows that i've had my issues with xander but
15:34i think you should give him the benefit of the doubt
15:37i mean he's moving on from what i've heard
15:40he's in a new relationship right
15:42i wish gwen
15:44i don't think anybody's putting that in a positive column
15:48i'm just saying
15:50you know i'm sure he's got more important things to worry about than where philip is living in with whom
15:55maybe he won't care at all
15:56or maybe you two have blinders on and he'll go completely ballistic and turn this entire house into a war
16:02zone
16:03after i found out that you had assaulted philip
16:06i made it perfectly clear you could be ceo with a name only
16:10but then i watched you
16:12slowly regain power
16:14and i
16:16foolishly
16:16foolishly let it happen
16:18because of the state the company was in
16:21but let's be honest maggie i mean
16:23you couldn't stop me even if you wanted to
16:26are you sure about that
16:31i
16:32didn't have to keep the secret
16:34i could have gone public
16:37and if they would have found out what you did to philip
16:40you would have been
16:43you would have been out
16:45i suppose that's true isn't it
16:47but isn't it
16:48also true that you'd be bringing down titan if you did that
16:51because everything would come out
16:53how philip used that forged letter to worm his way back to the top
16:57how you and sarah covered it all up
17:01tell me maggie
17:03am i right about that
17:05they were all complicit
17:09so i guess we're a standoff
17:12neither of us wants to be
17:15responsible for victor's company going belly up
17:17but you're all out of moves maggie
17:19not that you really had any to begin with
17:22oh i see where this is going
17:26you thought because
17:28sarah gave you visitation rights
17:31that you didn't have to play nice with the family anymore
17:34i'm the only one doing what's necessary for this family
17:38i am victor would understand
17:41the hell he would
17:43he would see that you're deluding yourself
17:45and how exactly am i doing that
17:47well isn't it perfectly obvious
17:50i mean you thought that the mirror would settle this lawsuit
17:53with a quick payout
17:55so you would be back in the black
17:57but john refused to sell
18:00so now we missed the deadline
18:02on the last payment
18:04so everything you did
18:06is just for naught
18:09but don't worry maggie
18:10i already made that payment
18:15what?
18:17how?
18:23i liquidated a few assets
18:24and found the cash i needed to make the payment
18:27what assets?
18:29i sold a few of our giant crawler cranes
18:31that are just sitting on the docks down in south america
18:35and when did you do that?
18:38oh about a week ago i think
18:42i'm assuming you have the bill of sale
18:44for those cranes
18:46who the buyers were
18:48and the asking price
18:50what are you so worried about maggie?
18:53it's only up and up
18:56the hell it was
19:00you're lying
19:03are you disappointed in me?
19:06for giving up writing?
19:11i could never be disappointed in you
19:15but i know that titan was expecting a bestseller
19:19and i wanna help
19:20i just... i can't
19:23stephanie
19:23the last thing that you need to worry about
19:26is titan
19:30but i know that things are tough over there
19:32and now with this lawsuit
19:33alex
19:35i'm letting you down
19:36you're not letting me down
19:37i'll be fine
19:39we will be fine
19:41are you sure?
19:52i almost lost you
19:54stuff
19:57the only thing that matters to me is that you are home
20:01and safe
20:04and it's all that matters
20:21okay
20:23so you two gossiping about me behind my back?
20:26well, um, we could do it to your face if you'd prefer
20:29i'll pass, i'll pass
20:30ignorance
20:31ignorance is good
20:32yes
20:33oh, you know, we've finished supper

20:37i don't mind if i do

20:49hey grandma
20:51grandpa
20:52i'll

20:54you know
20:58kate said that you might be leaving titan
21:01yes, did she happen to tell you why?
21:03okay
21:10well, i'm gonna go check on victoria
21:13so
21:15let henderson know if you need anything
21:18we will
21:19thank you
21:21Sarah, hang on
21:26since we're going to be living under the same roof again
21:29i want to start things out on the right foot this time
21:34what i said earlier about it not being my fault
21:37Xander's no longer allowed to live here
21:40i know that wasn't true
21:41of course it's my fault
21:44we don't need to get into this now
21:48it's okay
21:50Gabby knows all about the forged letter
21:54what?
21:56philip told me everything
22:00Gabby and i don't have secrets from each other
22:02oh
22:03that's nice
22:04an honesty pack
22:05too bad discretion couldn't have made the cut
22:09sorry you're offended by my being transparent with my girlfriend
22:14but i happen to believe
22:16and i thought you did too, Sarah
22:19that when you're committed to each other
22:22you're also committed to being completely honest
22:26to sharing everything
22:30it's the only way it can work
22:33right Gabby?
22:36right
22:38definitely
22:45do you know how i knew you're lying?
22:48i looked into selling those cranes
22:50a few weeks ago
22:53is that right?
22:55mm-hmm
22:56and i was told they were locked into contracts with the docs
23:00and it would cost a whole lot more to break those contracts
23:04than the sales price
23:06how do you research on you?
23:08mm-hmm
23:09i'm right
23:10see
23:11you should be so embarrassed
23:13it's taken all this time
23:15and you still haven't learned
23:17not to underestimate me
23:20oh i see you exactly
23:23as you are, Maggie
23:25and i see you as you are
23:28Xander
23:31and it tears me apart to see the damage you've caused
23:34not to others, but to yourself
23:38now
23:39that we've got all the lies out in the open
23:45why don't you tell me
23:47really
23:47how you got that money
23:50word of advice, Maggie
23:53don't ask questions
23:54if you don't really
23:55want to know the answers
24:03obviously
24:03there were things about the business of Victor
24:07didn't want to know about things
24:08that he kept away from me
24:09and he was right to do that
24:11he kept your hands clean
24:17does philip know what you did?
24:20he says i did anything
24:22don't play coy
24:26you made a huge mistake by laundering money
24:29through titan
24:31especially considering
24:32the state the titan is in already
24:35i did what i had to do
24:38to save victor's company
24:40not to mention your house
24:41and all your
24:42pretty things
24:43you know what?
24:44you just
24:44have a nice day, Maggie
24:46Xander
24:51no more
24:52you hear me?
24:55if it takes this
24:57to save titan
25:01maybe
25:02maybe it isn't worth saving
25:23you know what?
25:24why don't i wrap this up?
25:26put it in the fridge
25:26and save it for later
25:28thanks

27:01the threat is over but
27:04i get it
27:07after what this maniac did to you, Steph
27:09i know it's hard for you to trust that something like this
27:14could never happen again
27:22if it's not Owen then who
27:24or what

32:30i just had a conversation with xander
32:32and i am appalled
32:34by what is going on with this company
32:41so it turns out that kate and xander knew all along
32:44that the book can be considered
32:46derivative
32:48is jerry right
32:50kate
32:51did you deliberately set him up to buy bonnie's book
32:54knowing it was pleasant
32:58no
32:59of course i didn't
33:01and i told him that
33:03and actually
33:04roman i kind of resent you assuming the worst of me when i can explain
33:10everything
33:12i'm waiting
33:16sorry

33:33that johnny feels this way
33:36but i did nothing unethical
33:38per company policy
33:41i never read
33:42that manuscript
33:44and i thought i was doing johnny a favor
33:46when i gave him my blessings to publish it
33:51i did not set him up
33:54i sure as hell
33:55hope not
33:59you're staying with dimira
34:02uh
34:03i haven't given theo my official answer yet but
34:08he's resigning so
34:11why would he do that
34:13i don't know
34:14said it was personal
34:16hmm
34:17and you're staying on as ceo
34:20i'd like to stick around
34:22clean up the mess i made
34:24in spite of everything i
34:26i feel like dimira needs me right now
34:29hmm
34:30and what does your wife say
34:34i haven't told her yet
34:37oh
34:39hey

34:42on
34:43your own
34:45not to adopt trey
34:47yeah
34:48i'm thinking maybe you should talk to her
34:51i know i know and i
34:52i will
34:54i'm not gonna make the same mistake twice
34:56and she does know about the lawsuit
34:58so
34:58oh that's a good start
35:02just
35:03what
35:03what if she's not okay with me wanting to stay
35:10well
35:11you'll just have to figure that out i guess
35:18i gotta say
35:20i like this place a whole lot better than the dimira pilot bricks
35:25because you get to be here with me
35:27well that is the main reason
35:30also helps that ej doesn't live here
35:33i
35:34wish i could say shade kyriakus is drama free
35:37but
35:38at least
35:39no one's been shot here
35:42not recently anyway
35:45well
35:45i guess the bar is up pretty low
35:48kinda
35:50so
35:53how should we celebrate our first night in this house of sunshine and rainbows
35:58hmm
36:01i was thinking
36:03maybe uh
36:05popcorn in a movie
36:08i mean that sounds fine
36:11hmm
36:12you have a better idea
36:16i might
36:17yeah
36:18yeah
36:21yeah
36:22i mean that's like that one
36:26yeah
36:29yeah

36:36yeah
36:38yeah
36:38yeah
36:40yeah
36:40yeah
38:11That you haven't already done.
38:15We had police guarding our apartment.
38:18My dad moved in here with us and still Owen got to me.
38:24I can't rely on you or my dad or the cops or anyone else to protect me.
38:31I have to feel confident that I can protect myself.
38:38So what does that mean?
38:42I want to get a gun, Alex.
38:46And I want to learn how to use it.
