00:40it easy all together after what you've been through i'm fine i just need to focus
00:57oh
01:04oh
01:05oh
01:05oh
01:05oh
01:17Oh, no, it's okay.
01:34I was just trying to relax after a very long day.
01:40Gabby?
01:41Sarah?
01:48So is there something that I can help you with?
01:51If you're looking for my mom, she's still at the office.
01:55Yeah, I was just there.
01:58Maggie didn't tell you.
02:03Tell me what?
02:07I'm moving back in with Gabby.
02:18Katie?
02:19Hey.
02:21Well, I'm delighted to see you.
02:24Were you afraid I was going to cancel on you again?
02:26Well, no, maybe a little.
02:28A little.
02:29But I know that you've been very busy this week.
02:33Yeah.
02:34It's got a hectic time, hasn't it?
02:37I'm so sorry that Rachel had to go back to baby.
02:42I know we thought she was doing so much better.
02:45But you know what?
02:46Now we know she'll be getting the help that she so badly needs.
02:50I know.
02:51It's difficult for her when we can't step in and fix things for our children, our grandchildren.
02:59That's something that I was going to discuss with you.
03:03Oh.
03:06Can you tell me what's going on at Titan?
03:13Maggie?
03:15I was just heading out.
03:17Oh, well, no, you're not heading out.
03:18Not just yet.
03:19Not until I get some answers.
03:21Uh, why?
03:24Is there a problem?
03:25You're damn right there's a problem.
03:28How dare you and Kate file a lawsuit against Johnny without telling me?
03:33But then I know why.
03:35You went behind my back because you knew I would be outraged.
03:40And you knew that I would call you on the ugliness of it.
03:43And you knew that I wouldn't, that I wouldn't tell you that I wasn't going to approve of it.
03:50And that's why you didn't tell me, isn't it?
04:04Like sand through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.
04:21By what's going on at Titan, I assume you mean the situation with Johnny?
04:29No.
04:31I didn't.
04:34What's going on with Johnny?
04:43I wanted to stop by.
04:45Is this a bad time?
04:46No, not at all.
04:48These are for you.
04:51They're beautiful.
04:54I'm just, I'm just glad you're okay.
04:59So, uh, were you just coming back from the office?
05:05Yes.
05:06Yes, I was, yeah.
05:07You must be almost all done with DiMera, huh?
05:10I heard Theo was coming back.
05:11So, does that mean you're going to be rejoining us at Titan?
05:14No.
05:16No, it doesn't.
05:17What?
05:18You're not coming back?
05:19Look, we don't have to talk about all that right now.
05:23I just, uh, I, I, I, I actually, I came by, Steph, because...
05:27I owe you a huge apology.
05:36Uh, well, welcome home, I guess.
05:43Thanks.
05:46We'll do our best to stay out of your way.
05:52I didn't realize that you two were...
05:55cohabitating.
05:57It's new.
05:59Very new.
06:01As in, like, right now.
06:03Huh.
06:05Well, congratulations.
06:09Uh, things seem 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, I didn't think you would want to come back here, Phillip.
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.
07:04I mean, as soon as we discovered that
07:06Bonnie's one rainy afternoon
07:08was a clear-cut case of plagiarism, right?
07:10He vowed a lawsuit just like that.
07:13We couldn't let it slide.
07:15Surely you understand us wanting to block
07:17publication 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,
07:29which was always a risky proposition,
07:31given his divided loyalties.
07:34So you only hired him
07:35because you were hell-bent
07:37on sticking it to EJ.
07:39And because I had faith in his abilities.
07:42Hmm.
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 you would go in and sue DiMera for plagiarism.
07:56I'm aware that's his claim, yes.
08:00Well, is it true?
08:08I promise.
08:09I mean, if I knew that Bonnie's book was basically just a copy of yours,
08:14I never would have bought the rights.
08:16And I'll admit, you know,
08:20some of it was, you know, due to, in part, to my ego.
08:23I wanted to leave my mark on DiMera before I went back to Titan.
08:29And I really am sorry.
08:32Stuff, especially because now there's this lawsuit that
08:36I'm sure you're going to be dragged into.
08:38And after everything you've been through, it'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,
08:53and I will not let this affect your writing career.
08:58It doesn't matter.
08:59I don't have a writing career anymore.
09:08So, I don't think Johnny's going to be returning
09:11to Titan.
09:13Well, why not?
09:16Well, I'm going to 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 DiMera.
09:27So, he would, uh...
09:29He would still stay there even after Theo comes back?
09:33Oh, I don't know.
09:34Maybe I got that wrong.
09:35Like I said, you should really talk to him.
09:37I will.
09:40So, um...
09:41Anyway, what was the situation at Titan
09:43that you wanted to talk about?
09:45Well, Brady is...
09:47Brady is leaving Basic Black.
09:49Oh, yes.
09:50Yes, of course.
09:52And, of course, that's...
09:53That's important.
09:54But, um...
09:56We want to make sure that Basic Black stays in the family.
10:01Yeah.
10:01Well, that's understandable.
10:03I mean, the company meant...
10:04It meant so much to John.
10:08Yeah.
10:10And, oddly enough, they have asked 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.
10:21I would just be...
10:23Consulting.
10:24That's all.
10:25I know that...
10:27You and John created the business.
10:31So...
10:36I was wondering
10:38if you would like to step in
10:40and help me run Basic Black.
10:47So your brother
10:49doesn't know
10:50you're moving in here.
10:53Hey, I'm not hiding it from him.
10:55I'd just rather not have him
10:57stomp all over my good news.
10:59Translation,
11:00you're not going out of your way
11:01to poke the bear.
11:02Look, it's not my fault
11:02Xander's not welcome
11:03in the family abode.
11:08If you say so.
11:11I thought you said
11:13that you and Xander
11:14were getting along again.
11:16We are.
11:19Most of the time.
11:22Well,
11:23let's just hope
11:24that when Xander does
11:26find out,
11:28the old Xander
11:29doesn't make a comeback.
11:32I'm sure it's much easier
11:33for Johnny
11:34to blame Kate and me
11:35than to acknowledge
11:36his incompetence.
11:37No, it's not about incompetence.
11:39See, I think
11:40it's you and Kate
11:41knowing that
11:41Johnny was a bit naive.
11:44Came up with his plan
11:45to exploit that.
11:46Not true.
11:48Oh, no?
11:50According to Johnny,
11:52that manuscript
11:52was left in the location
11:54where he would be sure
11:55to see it
11:56and Kate gave her
11:57her blessings,
11:58sight unseen.
12:00And you expect me
12:01to believe
12:02that that was just
12:03happenstance?
12:05You can believe
12:05whatever you want,
12:06I need.
12:07Oh, well.
12:09This is what I'm going
12:10to tell you,
12:11is that
12:11if you and Kate
12:13did set up Johnny
12:14to go down for this,
12:16you crossed the line.
12:19not just how
12:20you treated him,
12:21but how it affects
12:23Stephanie and Bonnie.
12:25Sorry, Bonnie?
12:26I'm supposed to feel
12:27sympathy for Bonnie
12:28after she plagiarized
12:30Stephanie's work on it?
12:31Bonnie is family.
12:34And that's not
12:35how we conduct business.
12:36That's not how
12:37I conduct business.
12:38And that is exactly
12:39why you aren't fit
12:41to run this company, Maggie.
12:43You have neither
12:44the grit
12:44or the guts
12:45to keep Titan afloat.
12:55So you want
12:56us to run
12:57Basic Better?
12:59I mean,
12:59is that a crazy idea?
13:05No, I mean,
13:06I'm flattered.
13:08But I know
13:09that the publishing
13:10division keeps you
13:11very busy.
13:12You know,
13:13actually,
13:14actually,
13:14I'm honored.
13:15I could find
13:16a way to work
13:17that out.
13:18Oh, really?
13:20Really?
13:21I would love
13:22to work with you.
13:23That makes me
13:25so happy.
13:27Shall we
13:28toast?
13:29To our partnership?
13:31Yes.
13:32To our partnership.
13:33no shit.
13:41You don't want to
13:42write anymore?
13:45It was fun
13:46while it lasted.
13:47But every chapter's
13:48got to come to an end,
13:49right?
13:51I just thought you
13:52promised Kate.
13:53Kate will understand.
13:55She'll have to.
14:01You know,
14:02I should
14:03probably get going.
14:04I promised you
14:04now I'd pick up
14:05dinner.
14:06Well,
14:07thank you for
14:07stopping by,
14:08Johnny,
14:08and for the
14:09beautiful flowers.
14:10Of course.
14:10I'm glad you're
14:12feeling better.
14:13And then,
14:13seriously,
14:15don't beat
14:15yourself up
14:16about the book,
14:17okay?
14:18Yeah,
14:18I'll try.
14:21Take care,
14:22Stefan.
14:23It was good
14:24to see you,
14:24Alex.
14:24We'll see you,
14:25Johnny.
14:36That's it?
14:38You don't want to
14:39write ever again?
14:44Maybe someday
14:45I'll get back to it.
14:48But right now,
14:51the idea of
14:52telling someone
14:53else's love story,
14:56digging into that
14:58emotion,
15:00the joy,
15:01and the pain,
15:05I just can't
15:06do it anymore.
15:12If you're worried
15:13about Xander
15:14doing something
15:14violent...
15:15Of course I'm
15:16worried about Xander
15:17doing something
15:17violent.
15:18But you know
15:18how hard he's
15:19worked on his
15:19anger issues,
15:20the therapy
15:20with Marlena...
15:21And I also
15:22know that he
15:23is one setback
15:24away from
15:25going back
15:26to square one.
15:28Listen,
15:29I know I'm
15:30not a member
15:30of this family
15:31and Lord knows
15:32that I've had
15:32my issues with
15:33Xander,
15:33but I think
15:35you should give
15:35him the benefit
15:35of the doubt.
15:37I mean,
15:38he's moving on
15:39from what I've
15:39heard.
15:41He's in a new
15:41relationship,
15:42right?
15:42With Gwen?
15:44I don't think
15:45anybody's putting
15:46that in a
15:46positive column.
15:48I'm just
15:49saying,
15:50you know,
15:51I'm sure he's
15:51got more important
15:52things to worry
15:53about than
15:53where Philip
15:54is living in
15:54the phone.
15:55Maybe he won't
15:56care at all.
15:56Or maybe you
15:57two have blinders
15:58on and he'll
15:59go completely
15:59ballistic and
16:00turn this entire
16:01house into a
16:02war zone.
16:03After I found out
16:04that you had
16:05assaulted Philip,
16:06I made it
16:07perfectly clear
16:08you could be
16:08CEO with a
16:09name only.
16:10But then I
16:11watched you
16:12slowly regain
16:13power and I
16:16foolishly let it
16:17happen because
16:18of the state
16:19the company was
16:19in.
16:21But let's be
16:21honest,
16:22Maggie,
16:22I mean,
16:24you couldn't
16:24stop me even
16:24if you wanted
16:25to.
16:26Are you sure
16:27about that?
16:32I didn't have
16:33to keep the
16:33secret.
16:34I could have
16:35gone public.
16:37And if they
16:38would have found
16:38out what you did
16:39to Philip,
16:40you would have
16:41been,
16:43you would have
16:44been out.
16:45I suppose that's
16:46true, isn't
16:47it?
16:47Isn't it?
16:48It's so true
16:49that you'd be
16:49bringing down
16:50Titan if you
16:51did that.
16:51Because everything
16:52would come out.
16:54How Philip used
16:55that forged letter
16:55to worm his way
16:56back to the top.
16:57How you and
16:59Sarah covered
16:59it all up.
17:01Tell me,
17:02Maggie, am I
17:03right about that?
17:05They were all
17:06complicit.
17:09So I guess
17:09we're a standoff.
17:12Neither of us
17:13wants to be
17:15responsible for
17:16Victor's company
17:17going belly-up,
17:17but you're all
17:18out of moves,
17:19Maggie.
17:19Not that you
17:20really had any
17:20to begin with.
17:22Oh, I see
17:23where this is
17:24going.
17:26You thought
17:27because Sarah
17:29gave you
17:29visitation rights
17:30that you didn't
17:32have to play
17:32nice with the
17:33family anymore.
17:34I'm the only
17:35one doing
17:36what's necessary
17:37for this family.
17:39I am Victor
17:39would understand.
17:41The hell
17:41he would.
17:43He would see
17:44that you're
17:45deluding yourself.
17:46And how
17:46exactly am I
17:47doing that?
17:48Well, isn't
17:48it perfectly
17:49obvious.
17:50I mean,
17:51you thought
17:51that Demira
17:52would settle
17:52this lawsuit
17:54with a quick
17:55payout,
17:55so you would
17:56be back in
17:57the black.
17:58But John
17:58refused to sell.
18:00So now we
18:01missed the
18:01deadline on
18:03the last
18:03payment.
18:04So everything
18:05you did
18:06is just
18:07for naught.
18:09But don't
18:10worry,
18:10Maggie.
18:11I already
18:11made that
18:12payment.
18:12payment.
18:15What?
18:17How?
18:23I
18:23liquidated
18:24a few
18:24assets and
18:25found the
18:25cash I
18:25needed to
18:26make the
18:26payment.
18:27What assets?
18:28Well, I
18:29sold a few
18:29of our giant
18:30crawler cranes
18:31that are just
18:32sitting on the
18:32docks down in
18:33South America.
18:35And when
18:36did you do
18:37that?
18:38Oh, about
18:38a week ago,
18:39I think.
18:42I'm assuming
18:43you have the
18:44bill of sale
18:44for those
18:45cranes,
18:46who the
18:47buyers were
18:48and the
18:48asking price.
18:50What are you
18:51so worried
18:51about,
18:52Maggie?
18:53Is it
18:53on the
18:53up and
18:54up?
18:56The
18:57hell it
18:57was.
19:00You're
19:01lying.
19:03Are you
19:04disappointed
19:04in me
19:06for giving
19:07up writing?
19:11I could
19:12never be
19:13disappointed
19:13in you.
19:15But I
19:16know that
19:16Titan was
19:17expecting a
19:18bestseller
19:19and I
19:20want to
19:20help.
19:20I just
19:22can't.
19:23Stephanie,
19:24the last
19:24thing that
19:25you need
19:25to worry
19:25about
19:26is Titan.
19:30but I
19:31know that
19:31things are
19:31tough over
19:32there and
19:32now with
19:33this
19:33lawsuit,
19:34Alex,
19:35I'm
19:35letting you
19:36down.
19:36You're not
19:36letting me
19:37down.
19:37I'll be
19:38fine.

19:39be fine.
19:42Are you
19:42sure?
19:53lost you,
19:54stuff.
19:57The only
19:58thing that
19:58matters to
19:59me is that
19:59you are
20:00home and
20:01safe.
20:04And it's
20:05all that
20:05matters.
20:21OK, so
20:24you two
20:24gossiping
20:25about me
20:25behind my
20:26back?
20:26Well, we
20:27could do
20:28it to your
20:28face if
20:28you'd
20:29prefer.
20:29I'll pass.
20:30I'll pass.
20:31Ignorance
20:31is good.
20:33Oh, you
20:34know, we've
20:34finished
20:35supper.
20:35What would
20:35you like to
20:36join us for
20:37dessert?
20:38I don't
20:38mind if I
20:39do.
20:40Are we
20:40celebrating
20:41something?
20:42Oh, join
20:45us.
20:45Johnny, join
20:46us.
20:49Hey,
20:50Grandma.
20:51Grandpa.
20:52How's
20:52going,
20:53grandson?
20:54Oh, you
20:55know.
20:58Kate said
20:59that you
20:59might be
21:00leaving Titan.
21:01Yes, did
21:02she happen
21:03to tell you
21:03why?
21:10Well, I'm
21:11going to go
21:12check on
21:12Victoria, so
21:15let Henderson
21:16know if you
21:16need anything.
21:18We will.
21:21Sarah, hang
21:22on.
21:26Since we're
21:27going to be
21:27living under
21:28the same roof
21:28again, I want
21:30to start things
21:30out on the
21:31right foot
21:31this time.
21:35What I said
21:35earlier about
21:36it not being
21:36my fault,
21:37Xander's no
21:37longer allowed
21:38to live here.
21:40I know that
21:41wasn't true.
21:41Of course,
21:42it's my fault.
21:44We don't need
21:45to get into
21:45this now.
21:48It's okay.
21:50Gabby knows
21:51all about
21:51the forged
21:52letter.
21:54What?
21:56Phillip told
21:57me everything.
22:00Gabby and I
22:01don't have
22:02secrets from
22:02each other.
22:03Oh, that's
22:04nice.
22:04An honesty
22:05packed.
22:05Too bad
22:06discretion
22:06couldn't
22:06have made
22:07the cut.
22:09Sorry
22:10you're
22:10offended
22:11by my
22:12being
22:12transparent
22:13with my
22:13girlfriend,
22:15but I
22:15happen to
22:16believe,
22:17and I
22:18thought you
22:18did too,
22:19Sarah,
22:19that when
22:20you're committed
22:21to each
22:22other,
22:23you're also
22:24committed to
22:24being completely
22:26honest,
22:27to sharing
22:28everything.
22:30It's the only
22:31way it can
22:31work.
22:33Right,
22:34Gabby?
22:36Right,
22:38definitely.
22:45Do you
22:46know how
22:46I knew
22:47you're
22:47lying?
22:49I looked
22:49into selling
22:50those cranes
22:51a few weeks
22:52ago.
22:53Is that
22:54right?
22:55Mm-hmm.
22:56And I was
22:57told they
22:57were locked
22:57into contracts
22:58with the
22:58docks,
23:00and it
23:00would cost
23:01a whole
23:01lot more
23:02to break
23:02those contracts
23:04than the
23:05sales price.
23:06how do you
23:07research on
23:08you?
23:08Mm-hmm.
23:09They're
23:09right.
23:10See,
23:11you should
23:12be so
23:12embarrassed.
23:14It's taken
23:14all this
23:14time,
23:15and you
23:16still haven't
23:16learned
23:17not to
23:18underestimate
23:18me.
23:20Oh,
23:21I see you
23:21exactly
23:23as you
23:23are,
23:24Maggie.
23:26And I
23:26see you
23:27as you
23:28are,
23:29Xander.
23:31and it
23:31tears me
23:32apart to
23:32see the
23:33damage
23:33you've
23:33caused,
23:34not to
23:34others,
23:35but to
23:35yourself.
23:38Now,
23:40that we've
23:40got all the
23:41lies out
23:41in the
23:42open,
23:45why don't
23:46you tell
23:46me really
23:47how you
23:48got that
23:49money?
23:50Word of
23:51advice,
23:51May?
23:53Don't ask
23:53questions if
23:54you don't
23:54really want
23:55to know the
23:56answers.
24:03Obviously,
24:04there were
24:04things about
24:05the business
24:05of Victor.
24:07He didn't
24:07want to know
24:07about things
24:08that he kept
24:09away from
24:09me.
24:10And he
24:10was right
24:11to do
24:11that.
24:12He kept
24:12your hands
24:13clean.
24:17Does
24:17Philip know
24:18what you
24:18did?
24:20Who
24:20says I
24:21did
24:21anything?
24:22Don't
24:23play
24:23coy.
24:26You
24:26made a
24:27huge
24:27mistake
24:27by laundering
24:28money
24:29through
24:29Titan,
24:31especially
24:31considering
24:32the state
24:33the Titan
24:34is in
24:34already.
24:35I did
24:36what I
24:37had to
24:37do to
24:39save
24:39Victor's
24:39company,
24:40not to
24:40mention
24:41your
24:41house
24:41and
24:41all
24:42your
24:42pretty
24:43things.
24:44You know
24:44what?
24:44You just
24:44have a
24:45nice day,
24:46Maggie.
24:47Xander!
24:51No
24:52more.
24:53You
24:53hear
24:53me?
24:56If
24:56it
24:56takes
24:57this
24:57to
24:58save
24:59Titan,
25:01maybe
25:02maybe
25:03it
25:03isn't
25:03worth
25:03saving.
25:23You
25:24know,
25:24why don't
25:24I wrap
25:24this up
25:25and put
25:26it in
25:26the fridge
25:26and save
25:27it for
25:27later.
25:28Thanks.
25:31You'll
25:32probably get
25:32hungry at
25:33like 3
25:34a.m.
25:35when I
25:35can't
25:35sleep.
25:53Steph,
25:54you know
25:54we're in
25:54this together.
25:56Right?
26:02You wake
26:03up in
26:03the middle
26:03of the
26:04night
26:04if you
26:04can't
26:04sleep.
26:06You feel
26:06alone
26:08or afraid.
26:10You
26:10wake me
26:11up.
26:12It's
26:13right.
26:15Because you're
26:16not alone.
26:18I'm
26:19right here
26:19and I'm
26:20always going
26:20to be
26:20right
26:21here.
26:22I'm
26:22not going
26:22anywhere.
26:26I know
26:26that.
26:32I just
26:33want to
26:33do whatever
26:33I can
26:33to make
26:34you feel
26:36safe
26:36again.
26:41That's
26:42part of
26:42the problem.
26:46I hate
26:46being a
26:47victim
26:47again.
26:49I hate
26:51feeling
26:52afraid
26:52all the
26:53time.
26:58In my
26:59mind I
26:59know
27:00that
27:01the
27:01threat
27:02is
27:02over
27:02but
27:04I get
27:05it.
27:07After
27:07what this
27:08maniac did
27:08to you,
27:09Steph,
27:11I know
27:11it's hard
27:12for you
27:12to trust
27:12that
27:12something
27:13like
27:13this
27:14could
27:15never
27:15happen
27:15again.
27:22If it's
27:23not Owen,
27:23then who
27:24or what
27:25is it
27:26going to
27:26be next?
27:28I know
27:29it's hard
27:29to believe
27:29right now
27:30but I
27:30promise you
27:31I'm
27:31going to
27:31keep
27:32you
27:32safe.
27:33I
27:34promise.
27:40I
27:41know
27:41you
27:42mean
27:42that.
27:45I
27:46love
27:46you
27:47for
27:47saying
27:48it
27:49but
27:55you
27:55promised
27:56that
27:56before
27:59and it
28:00wasn't
28:01enough.
28:10Kate
28:11was
28:11leaving
28:11it
28:12to
28:12you
28:12to
28:12explain
28:13why
28:13you
28:13resigned.
28:16John,
28:17what's
28:18this all
28:18about?
28:20Uh,
28:22Titan
28:22is suing
28:22DiMera
28:23Enterprises
28:24because
28:25of something
28:26I did.
28:27What'd
28:27you do?
28:29Well,
28:30they're
28:31suing us
28:32for plagiarism
28:33saying
28:34that
28:35the book
28:36we're about
28:36to publish,
28:37Bonnie's
28:37book,
28:38is
28:39a rip
28:40off
28:40of
28:41Stephanie's.
28:44Then why
28:45are they
28:45suing you?
28:48Well,
28:49I brought
28:50the manuscript
28:51to DiMera.
28:52I
28:53authorized
28:53the purchase
28:54so it
28:55is
28:55my fault
28:56and Kate
28:57advised
28:58me to
28:58settle
28:59the lawsuit
29:01but I'm
29:02not going
29:02to.
29:03Kate,
29:04why am I
29:04just
29:05learning
29:05about
29:06this?
29:09I
29:10hate
29:10to be
29:10the one
29:10to tell
29:11you this
29:11grandpa
29:12but
29:14she
29:14set me
29:15up.
29:21Well,
29:23I wish you
29:24two luck.
29:25Like I
29:25said,
29:26let the staff
29:27know if you
29:27need any help
29:27moving in.
29:29We will.
29:30Mm-hmm.
29:33Um,
29:36Philip,
29:37you should
29:37know that
29:37Xander is
29:38going to be
29:38here any
29:39minute.
29:39He's coming
29:40to read
29:40Victoria's
29:41bedtime story.
29:43I'm assuming
29:44you'd rather
29:45wait for him
29:45to find out
29:46I'm living
29:46here.
29:47That's up
29:47to you.
29:47It's not
29:48really my
29:48call to
29:48make,
29:49is it?
29:49I just
29:49ask that
29:50you be
29:50thoughtful
29:51about it
29:52as to
29:52not
29:52set him
29:52off.
29:55Well,
29:55we'll get
29:56out of
29:56your way.
29:58I'll keep
29:59you posted
29:59when I
29:59decide to
30:00break the
30:00news.
30:01Please
30:02do.
30:04Have a
30:04good night,
30:05Sarah.
30:05Mm-hmm.
30:23Gabby,
30:25Philip,
30:25what's
30:26going on?
30:33We're
30:34moving
30:35into
30:35the
30:36house.
30:38With
30:38Maggie's
30:39permission,
30:39of course.
30:41You
30:42and Gabby
30:43moving in.
30:44That's
30:45right.
30:47Does
30:48that
30:48upset
30:48you?
30:51Well,
30:51I can
30:52see from
30:52the grim
30:53expressions
30:54on all
30:54your faces
30:54that you
30:55certainly
30:55assumed
30:55it
30:55would.
30:56Well,
30:56I
30:56certainly
30:57considered
30:57the
30:57possibility.
30:59While
30:59I
31:00appreciate
31:00that I
31:00still
31:00loom
31:01large
31:01in
31:02all
31:02your
31:02minds,
31:03I
31:04don't
31:04live
31:04here
31:04anymore.
31:05My
31:06opinion
31:06doesn't
31:06matter.
31:07Although,
31:08one word
31:09of advice,
31:11avoid the
31:12sourdough
31:12at
31:12breakfast.
31:13Henderson
31:13always puts
31:14in the
31:14toaster
31:14too soon,
31:15so by
31:15the time
31:15it gets
31:16to you,
31:16it's
31:17cold and
31:17dry.
31:19We will.
31:20Thanks for
31:21letting us
31:21know.
31:26Okay,
31:26we're gonna
31:27head up to
31:27our room
31:28and get
31:28settled.
31:29I'm sure
31:30you're eager
31:30to see
31:30Victoria
31:32give
31:33my niece
31:33a kiss
31:33for me.
31:41Is
31:42Victoria
31:42already
31:43upstairs
31:43with the
31:43nanny?
31:44Yeah,
31:45yeah,
31:45yeah,
31:45she's with
31:46Fran.
31:46I know
31:46she'll be
31:47excited to
31:48see you.
31:49Xander,
31:53I am
31:54I'm really
31:55sorry I
31:56misjudged
31:57your reaction.
31:59I'm
32:00actually
32:00very
32:01impressed.
32:02It's like
32:03I said,
32:04I don't
32:05live here
32:05anymore.
32:07So my
32:08opinion doesn't
32:08matter.
32:09However,
32:10I do find
32:10it interesting
32:11who Maggie
32:13decides to
32:14double out
32:15forgiveness
32:15to.
32:21This is
32:22Kate Roberts.
32:23Leave a
32:23message.
32:26Kate,
32:27don't
32:28ignore me.
32:30I just
32:30had a
32:31conversation
32:31with Xander
32:32and I
32:33am appalled
32:35by what
32:35is going
32:36on with
32:36this
32:36company.
32:40So it
32:41turns out
32:42that Kate
32:42and Xander
32:43knew all
32:43along
32:44the book
32:44can be
32:45considered
32:45derivative.
32:48you're
32:49doing
32:49right.
32:50Kate,
32:51did you
32:51deliberately
32:52set him
32:53up to
32:53buy
32:53Bonnie's
32:54book
32:54knowing
32:55it was
32:56plagued
32:57with her?
32:58No,
32:59of course
33:00I didn't
33:01and I
33:01told him
33:02that.
33:03And
33:04actually,
33:04Roman,
33:05I kind
33:05of resent
33:06you assuming

33:37nothing
33:38unethical
33:38per

33:39policy.
33:40I
33:41never
33:41read

33:45thought I

33:46favor when
33:47I gave
33:47him my
33:47blessings to
33:48publish it.

33:52set him
33:53up.
33:54I
33:54sure as
33:55hell
33:55hope not.
33:59You're
33:59staying with
34:00Demira?
34:02Uh,
34:04I haven't
34:05given Theo
34:05my official
34:06answer yet,
34:07but he's
34:08resigning,
34:09so.
34:11why would
34:11he do
34:12that?
34:13I
34:13don't
34:13know.
34:14Said
34:15it was
34:15personal.
34:16Hmm.
34:18And you're
34:18staying on
34:19as CEO?
34:20I'd
34:21like to
34:21stick
34:21around,
34:22clean up
34:23the mess
34:23I made.
34:24In
34:25spite of
34:25everything,
34:26I feel
34:27like Demira
34:27needs me
34:28right now.
34:29Hmm.
34:30And what
34:31does your
34:31wife say?
34:34I
34:34haven't
34:35told her
34:35yet.
34:40you
34:40remember
34:41what
34:41happened
34:41when you
34:42decided
34:42on your
34:44own
34:45not to
34:46adopt
34:46Trey.
34:49I'm
34:49thinking
34:49maybe you
34:50should talk
34:51to her.
34:51I know,
34:52I know,
34:52and I
34:53will.
34:54I'm not
34:54going to
34:54make the
34:55same mistake
34:55twice.
34:56And she
34:56does know
34:57about the
34:57lawsuit,
34:58so.
34:58Oh,
34:59that's a
34:59good start.
35:02Just,
35:03what if
35:05she's not
35:05okay with
35:06me wanting
35:07to stay?
35:10Well,
35:11you'll just
35:12have to figure
35:13that out,
35:13I guess.
35:19I gotta
35:19say,
35:20I like
35:21this place
35:22a whole lot
35:22better than
35:23the Demira
35:23pile of
35:24bricks.
35:25Because you
35:26get to be
35:26here with
35:26me.
35:27Well,
35:28that is
35:28the main
35:29reason.
35:30Also helps
35:31that EJ
35:31doesn't live
35:32here.
35:34Wish I
35:34could say
35:35Shea
35:35Kyriakos
35:36is drama
35:36free,
35:37but at
35:39least no
35:39one's been
35:40shot here.
35:42Not
35:43recently,
35:43anyway.
35:45Well,
35:46I guess
35:46the bar
35:47is up
35:47pretty low.
35:48Kinda.
35:51So,
35:53how should
35:54we celebrate
35:54our first
35:55night in
35:55this house
35:56of sunshine
35:57and rainbows?
35:58Hmm.
36:01I was
36:02thinking
36:02maybe
36:05popcorn
36:06in a
36:06movie?
36:09I mean,
36:10that sounds
36:10fine.
36:11Hmm?
36:13You have a
36:13better idea?
36:16I might.
36:18Yeah?
36:18Good
36:19time.
36:45I
37:58Steph, all I want to do is help you.
38:03Tell me what I can do to keep you safe.
38:05You say the word.
38:07That's just it. There's nothing that you can do that 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.
