00:00What a pleasant surprise. Is now a bad time? Not at all, not at all.
00:09Let me see, what is this? Snakes have feelings too. A scientific exploration of the snake brain.
00:16Wow, I've been dying to read this. I know. Dying to read this. How'd you get it?
00:20Well, I just know you. It's for Rachel. I figure she's probably missing s'mores,
00:26so if she's a nerd like me, a book about snake brains might help a little.
00:31Yeah, oh my gosh, she's going to love her. And I will make sure she knows that you got it
00:35for her.
00:36Please have a seat.
00:40Doing a little scientific exploration yourself?
00:45Yeah, this is kind of me playing around at being a private detective. It turns out that
00:52I may be practicing for the real deal.
01:08There you are.
01:10I got your text, saying you're in the mood to celebrate.
01:15Yes, I am.
01:16Well, what exactly are we celebrating?
01:21Money. Oodles of it.
01:24Dimitri has agreed to sign the divorce settlement.
01:26Well, that is course to celebrate. What brought about this happy turn of events?
01:31Well, in a nutshell, he's agreed to end the marriage with me so he can go off and have a
01:36torrid affair with Leo.
01:37This is Dimitri we're talking about?
01:39Yes, but it also includes Leo because he's now feeling suddenly guilty about having betrayed me and
01:47them shagging in the first place. So he's convinced Dimitri to take the high road, if we can call it
01:52that.
01:53I see.
01:56Oh, God. It almost feels too good to be true.
02:05I'm not one to look a gift horse in the mouth. I'm free. I'm filthy rich. Well, I will be
02:14soon at least.
02:15And I can't wait for you to take me upstairs and just ravage me.
02:28Oh, I'm afraid you'll have to.
02:32What?
02:33Allow me to clarify. Get the hell out.
02:51I've waited so long for this.
02:57I've dreamt about this.
03:02This is real now, right?
03:06Tell me. Tell me I'm not dreaming.
03:09It's not a dream.
03:25Unless it's a bottle of bourbon on the house, please just go away.
03:30No, it's Rafe.
03:35Rafe.
03:46Rafe.
03:47Hi.
03:47Hi.
03:49How did you find me?
03:52Well, it's kind of what I do.
03:55I'm sorry to interrupt your little staycation here, but we need to have a chat.
04:13Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.
04:31Clearly, you're not here on a social visit.
04:34No, I am not.
04:39Are you here to arrest me?
04:43Well, as far as I know, you haven't done anything illegal.
04:47Ah, yet.
04:54So when I brought that pill bottle to Steve and we were talking about how we were going to, you
04:58know, bring Sophia to justice and take her down, I just had no idea that it was going to lead
05:04to a discussion about my future career path.
05:08It's crazy, right?
05:09No.
05:10No?
05:11No, I don't think it's crazy at all.
05:12I think you would make a fantastic P.I.
05:15You're the one that figured out that Tate wasn't Trey's dad.
05:20That was a lot of Steve's help, too.
05:22No, you put the pieces together.
05:27My dad was the detective.
05:29He was the P.I.
05:31I may have learned a few tricks of the trade along the way, but I think that's all it is.
05:36It's more than that.
05:38You inherited your father's investigative spirit.
05:44That's very nice of you to say that.
05:48I know how hard it was for you to step away from Basic Black and lose that connection to him.
05:55But Steve, he's offering another connection to him.
06:01I don't know, it just, it seems like it's meant to be.
06:06My son said the exact same thing to me.
06:12And I know that you've been, you've been searching for a path that's meaningful to you, so maybe this is
06:22it.
06:31Well, I'm not in the business of trying to make a case against my allies, so I'll just ignore that
06:38comment.
06:38Huh, you consider me an ally?
06:43Only if you still want to take E.J. down.
06:47Wow, I had no idea that you were still considering my offer.
06:52I had taken radio silence as a hell no up yours.
06:58Well, in all fairness, I did think that you might be heading back to jail, so...
07:05Yeah, I just, you know, didn't seem like a good idea to hitch my wagon to that.
07:11Okay, I get that, I get that.
07:13But here you are, fraternizing with a former inmate.
07:17I mean, what are the boys at the Bureau going to say?
07:19Hmm, yeah, well, I think that we can be discreet.
07:24I mean, that is, if your offer still stands.
07:33You do not give me orders.
07:36Xander is my guest.
07:38Actually, you are my guest.
07:43And not for much longer, as I hear, you'll finally be divorcing Dimitri, therefore sacrificing any claim to demure hospitality.
07:53You can't be serious.
07:55You're kicking me out.
07:57I would be justified in doing so, wouldn't I?
08:01Come on, Gwyn, let's turn it back to my place.
08:03No, no.
08:04We are going upstairs as intended.
08:08And E.J. can shove his bloody objections right up his pompous arse.
08:33I'm sorry, I can't.
08:35I can't.
08:37I can't.
08:48Hey.
08:53What do you mean you...
08:55You can't.
08:56What is...
08:57No, no, no, no, no, no.
08:58That's...
08:58That's not what I meant.
09:00My...
09:00My brain may be a bit fuzzy, but the rest of me is working just fine.
09:04It's just, I mean...
09:07Well...
09:08It's just that I don't want to.
09:14You don't...
09:15You don't want to.
09:19But, Leo, you just told me to finalize my divorce for the sake of our relationship.
09:26And...
09:26And now you're saying that you don't want to.
09:29It actually feels like you're pushing me away.
09:31You know, I'm sorry.
09:32I'm really sorry.
09:33And I really thought that I wanted to do this, but...
09:39Now I realize that...
09:43What?
09:45What do you realize?
09:50That if I were to be with you this way, that I would be...
09:56Betraying a part of myself...
10:00And Javi.
10:07How dare you speak about me that way.
10:11You know what?
10:13Cook has something prepared for us in the kitchen.
10:15Could you just go in there and get it while I deal with this?
10:19You're exiling me to the kitchen.
10:21Please, could you just go?
10:23Fine.
10:30What the hell is the bloody matter with you?
10:33You can't kick me out because I'm divorcing Dimitri.
10:38Need I remind you that this is my home and I can do whatever I damn well please?
10:43And need I remind you that you still need my money?
10:48Not for long.
10:52Okay.
10:52How about I just blast all your nasty secrets and out there right once skywriting?
11:01That cloth cuts both ways, Wem.
11:07And I'm not kicking you out.
11:10Yet.
11:11But don't you think, for appearances' sake, we should continue to make people think that Dimitri is the only reason
11:18you are a houseguest here?
11:19Well, let them think that you and I are bloody secretly shagging for all I care.
11:25Which is to your detriment and for pity's sake, must you march your parade of sexual conquests through my living
11:35room, potentially overhearing something incriminating?
11:39Well, actually, I don't have any sex parade that I'm showcasing much to my chagrin, but you know what, I
11:47have to say, you making all this fuss about keeping people away, it's gonna make you look like you've got
11:55something to hide.
12:08We both have something to hide.
12:12Like, for example, my half undead sister who is languishing in the basement in a very delicate condition.
12:19And it is in both our best interests that she's staying hidden until she's actually alive and kicking.
12:27And the last person we need getting a whiff that she is being resurrected is Xander Kyriakos!
12:40Did I just hear my name?
12:48Well, I appreciate your support on this.
12:52I'm actually kind of excited that I'm starting this whole new career path.
12:57As you should be.
12:59It's just that...
13:00What?
13:04I feel guilty.
13:06I feel guilty about being excited when my daughter is back in baby.
13:11Brady, you cannot feel guilty.
13:13I understand.
13:14I do.
13:14I do understand.
13:15But you still have to live your life.
13:19And that doesn't mean that you're not going to be there for Rachel 100%.
13:24I know you are.
13:27I'm doing my best.
13:28I know.
13:29And you're a wonderful father.
13:31You really, really, really are.
13:32To both children.
13:36How's Rachel doing?
13:37I mean, is she adjusting?
13:40Is she adjusting?
13:41I hope so.
13:43She doesn't understand why she has to go back there.
13:48Kristen isn't helping.
13:49I can't imagine she would.
13:53I hate to ask this, but is she using Rachel as an excuse to extend her stay?
14:00Are you...
14:03No.
14:05Kristen left last night.
14:09Yeah.
14:10Yeah, a couple days early.
14:12By the way, with zero prompt from me.
14:16Wow.
14:18I think hell just froze over.
14:20I think...
14:22Yeah.
14:25You really know how to turn the charm on, don't you?
14:29Well, you have to be charmed.
14:32Hating E.J. isn't enough, or has that changed?
14:35No, no, not in the least.
14:36Every day is a new opportunity to despise that swine just a little bit.
14:42Oh.
14:42Oh, good.
14:44Okay.
14:44So now things changed.
14:45You still do want to work with me?
14:47Hmm, you bet I do.
14:51100%.
14:51Good.
14:52Because I have a job for you.
14:56You better watch yourself, Hernandez.
14:58I don't work for you.
15:00And you don't call the shots.
15:04Yeah, speaking of which, if we are to team up and work together, there will be no shots.
15:12Specifically, not a DJ or anyone else.
15:18Got an alternative?
15:20Oh, I do.
15:22Hmm.
15:22Damn good one.
15:23I think you're going to like it.
15:35So the police wanted to conduct a search of the DiMera secret room, but E.J.
15:41E.J. does what E.J. does, and then the powers that be, well,
15:46they refuse to issue a search warrant.
15:49Oh.
15:50And what is it that you're looking for?
15:53Dr. Rolf.
15:54Hmm.
15:56Pod occupant.
15:57Anything untoward?
16:00But you see, you are a DiMera.
16:03And there is no law that says that you can't search your own estate and then report back
16:07to me what you might find.
16:13Now, as you know, I am not one who likes to bend the rules.
16:20But following the usual protocols does not work when the target has infiltrated the justice
16:27system like E.J. has.
16:31He has tainted everything in this town, and I am so damn sick of it.
16:38Well, if you fight fire with fire, I will bring a flamethrower.
16:42Yes, but technically, everything is above board.
16:46So you don't necessarily have to notify E.J. of the pending search.
16:52Oh, okay.
16:54Okay.
16:56And if I find something incriminating...
17:00We will take E.J. down and make him pay for everything he has done.
17:06To all of us.
17:11E.J. was just saying you are the last person he wants in his house.
17:15Oh.
17:16Well, that's quite a distinction.
17:18I'm honored.
17:18And I was surprised that I rank above his trigger-happy sister and, oh, I don't know,
17:24Detective Hunter.
17:25What the hell is that supposed to mean?
17:28You know, I just think that he's really jealous of the passion that you and I have for each
17:34other.
17:36He's, um, going through the midst of a dry spell, poor sort.
17:42Hmm.
17:43Shall we?
17:44We shall.
17:45Mm-hmm.
17:51It's okay.
17:52Don't look so defeated.
17:53I mean, it's not like he's moving in or anything.
17:55And we won't be long.
17:57I'm sure you won't be.
17:58I've heard it.
18:05So, Kristen left in the huff, huh?
18:08She was in full meltdown mode.
18:12Yeah.
18:13You know, she's furious at me because I actually defended Marlena.
18:18Hmm.
18:20Even though she gave that testimony.
18:22It's no surprise there.
18:25I mean, look, I was shocked by Marlena's testimony as well, but I get it.
18:31She wants what's best for Rachel, and she thinks that that's Bayview.
18:35But you don't.
18:39I'm not so sure.
18:41I mean, given what happened with Sophia, the lack of supervision in that place, I mean,
18:48it's less to be desired, right?
18:49Yeah.
18:50I mean, I was also very disappointed that no one caught on to what Sophia was doing, you
18:56know, using Rachel.
18:58Rachel, but what I will say is the doctors there really do care.
19:06They're just understaffed.
19:08It's a big problem.
19:10Yeah.
19:11Well, yeah.
19:13But given the fact that they know they were delinquent in handling the situation with Sophia
19:19and Rachel, I'm sure they will be very vigilant moving forward.
19:24I hope so.
19:26I really do.
19:29I love a very bright, bright young girl, and she has a family that loves her very much.
19:41She's going to be okay.
19:45I know she will.
19:46Mm-hmm.
19:48Thank you, by the way, just for listening to me.
19:53I know I go on about Rachel, but you, your support means a lot to me.
20:12Do you know what I just realized?
20:14What did you just realize?
20:18In all the time that we have known each other, I think that this might actually be the first
20:25time we were in a house together, alone.
20:38I'm sorry, I don't understand how being with me feels like a betrayal of Hoffie.
20:45Dimitri, you and he, you and he, you and he are over.
20:50Yeah.
20:52Maybe on paper, but not in my heart.
21:01Dimitri, I know that I have been agonizing over this and dragging this out for months.
21:11And maybe it took a knock to the head for me to finally have the clarity that I've been
21:16looking for.
21:18What are you saying?
21:22You're saying that I finally stopped lying to myself.
21:28About what I want, about what I need.
21:54Kristen, what are you doing here?
21:57Oh, well, I thought maybe we could shoot the breeze over a Louis XIII Cognac strolled in
22:10the Rose Garden and cap it off with a game of croquet.
22:16I'm here always hoping for a peaceful day with no theatrics.
22:22Oh, there will be no peace for you, you son of a bitch, because you have strewed with
22:27me one time too many.
22:33I think you're right.
22:35This, this, it's the first time we're actually alone, just the two of us, finally.
22:42Mm-hmm.
22:42Mm-hmm.
22:44Alone, in a home, together, as I said.
22:50Yeah.
22:50Yeah.
22:53Well, well.
23:01I feel like that, that, that, that's fast, and that's doing backflips.
23:07Does that mean that, um, that you're thinking what I'm thinking?
23:15Yeah.
23:15Yeah.
23:18That we left s'mores out in the head count.
23:21When I said that we were alone, we weren't.
23:23We forgot the snake.
23:24Snakes have feelings.
23:26Yeah.
23:27Yeah, snake.
23:28It's in the book.
23:28It is, yep.
23:29And, uh, s'mores is an especially sensitive snake.
23:32Oh.
23:33Snake.
23:34It's a very nice snake.
23:35Snake, listen, seriously, uh, what were you thinking just now?
23:45Yes.
23:58You're a little one.
24:00Mm-hmm.
24:02Mm-hmm.
24:04Mm-hmm.
24:05Okay.
24:30You're sure?
24:35I'm sure.
25:14I'm sure.
25:33You want it?
25:42Where exactly do I have a picnic basket?
25:46And why is it champagne?
25:51Well, I thought that we could celebrate my joining the Divorcee Club with a boozy little picnic.
25:58Mmm. Well, I do enjoy the occasional picnic, and you know I love champagne, but, uh, right now, I was
26:08thinking that I would rather, uh...
26:11You'd rather what?
26:12Let me show you.
26:22Oh. Right, well, I can do both, you know.
26:27That is true.
26:29Well, I think that we should work up a little appetite first, don't you?
26:34Yeah.
26:41Come on.
26:42Come on.
26:43It's a bloody thing off.
26:45Just...
26:45Just rip it.
27:09You know this is your fault, don't you?
27:12Uh, you blame me for so many things, Kristen, so I'll need you to be more specific.
27:20You know damn well I mean Rachel being back at that miserable institution.
27:28Look, I'm sorry about what happened at the hearing.
27:32I'm sorry for Rachel, and I hope she'll come back soon, but I did my part.
27:37Did your part, really? Considering she shot me, I think I've been pretty good.
27:42She shot you, EJ, by accident. And it was because you pushed her to a breaking point.
27:49You took her grandmother away. You took her mother, mother away.
27:57You made me confess to your shooting. Even though Johnny was just about to be acquitted.
28:05And Rachel was just acting out because she needed me.
28:10She needed her mother. And I, I was in Statesville because of you.
28:18Are you, uh, are you seriously suggesting that all the questionable things Rachel has done are muddled?
28:29I'm not suggesting. I'm saying it outright. You, you sacrificed my daughter to save your son, and I came back
28:42here to make you a promise, EJ.
28:46Rachel's suffering will not go unanswered.
29:00Dmitry, you saved my life twice. And for that I will be forever grateful.
29:08And I was, I was willing to risk jail time to prove your innocence.
29:13I was willing to risk getting stuck in a country that doesn't air RuPaul until 2am.
29:22We have had some incredible adventures together. And I would not give that up for anything.
29:32I mean, think about it, right? We've had, uh, babies born on the side of the road, head bumps, blonde
29:38weights, all of it.
29:41The thing is, no, no, um, don't say it.
29:47Leo, please don't, don't say it again, because I know that it isn't true.
29:53You love me. You love me, Leo. I know you do. You love me.
30:00But you're, you're not thinking straight, okay? You're, you're still recovering from this concussion. You're confused.
30:11So please, just don't say it's over between us.
30:25It is. It is. I'm sorry. It is.
30:36I know that it may be over between me and Javi and that maybe I will be alone for the
30:41rest of my life.
30:45But at least I will be true to myself.
30:52Because he is the man I love. And always will.
31:11Do you realize what you've done? What you made me do?
31:17I agreed to that lousy divorce settlement because of you.
31:23Oh, my God. Oh, my God. I was right. I was right that whole moving on speech.
31:33It was an act. But it wasn't to fool Gwen. It was to fool me.
31:37What? No.
31:38Did your old pal Gwen put you up to this?
31:40Have you been plotting against me this whole time to steal my money?
31:43The whole time?
31:45No, stop. You stop. I am warning you. Do not do this, Leo.
31:51Please.
31:54Because like you said, you will be alone.
31:58Maybe for the rest of your life if you are so determined that your heart belongs to Javi.
32:03Because you have already blown it with him.
32:06Can't you see? He will never forgive you.
32:14Now, you might be right.
32:20All right. Point taken. I've been threatened. Why are you still here?
32:26Harold. Harold. Harold put some mail in my room.
32:30Well, go collect it. Knock yourself out.
32:36Well, I haven't had my drink yet. And suddenly I need one very, very badly.
32:46Well, help yourself then.
32:48I'm gonna go see if I can find a room in this buddy mansion where I don't have to dodge
32:52half-baked threats.
32:54Yeah.
32:56Hmm.
32:58Hmm.
33:02Hmm.
33:03Hmm.
33:18Hmm.
33:21Hmm.
33:23Hmm.
33:26Hmm.
33:26Hmm.
33:29Whoa.
34:32Hello?
34:38Hey, if anyone's tied up or behind one of these barrels, just give a holler.
34:49This is your chance.
34:56Damn.
35:05So much for that.
35:21Oh, doing a little sleeping while you're here.
35:25I thought I would grab a bottle of Lafitte Rothschild from the wine cellar.
35:32I mean, have you had the wine selection over at the Sailor Men?
35:36The book club Chardonnay, the instant hangover.
35:41Hello?
35:41Hello, hmm?
35:44What were you actually looking for, Kristen?
35:49What else would I be looking for, EJ?
35:53What else indeed?
36:03Look, you have every right to be...
36:05Don't!
36:07God, you're pathetic.
36:14You're damaged goods, Leo.
36:20Fickle.
36:22Unreliable.
36:25And worst of all, you are so predictable.
36:32Always clawing for attention.
36:37Betraying anyone foolish enough to care about you.
36:43And you think you're so clever.
36:46Bet anyone with half a brain can see right through you.
36:54Your desperate smiles.
36:59Your shallow attempt to matter.
37:04You're never gonna matter now, Leo.
37:09You're never going to find happiness now, because I was your last chance.
37:18I was your last chance at something real, and you fell away.
37:32You just made a horrible mistake.
37:37A soul-rotting haunt you for the rest of your miserable existence mistake.
37:46And I hope to hell, it eats you alive.
37:51For that magic
37:56No!
38:04No!
38:05No!
38:10No!
38:12No!
38:13No!
38:28Oh, there's paté in here.
38:32That sounds yummy, but I'm sorry.
38:34I really do have to get back to the office.
38:37Hey.
38:39Well, more for me, then.
38:45But that was super fun, as always.
38:50We should do it again as soon as possible.
38:54Oh.
38:58Yeah, let's...
39:02See ya.
39:07Ta-ta.
39:34Is it worth the wait?
39:36Yep.
39:39I'll tell you what, I don't want to wait that long, Rita.
39:41Oh, me either.
39:42No.
39:43No.
39:51This could be a problem, Rita.
39:55Well, I don't want to take any chances.
39:57From now on, no one passes by the front gate without my knowing about it.
40:03I pulled a question sneaking out of the tunnel.
40:06Deeply disappointed there was nothing to find down there, no doubt.
40:16Yes.
40:17Well, thank God we made additional arrangements for our project.
40:22No one will ever find that.
40:45Frimo?
40:51Why didn't you tell me you were coming to Salem?
40:53Oh, my God.
41:43Oh, my God.
41:53Oh, my God.
