00:07Thanks again for, uh, meeting me.
00:10Of course.
00:11Although I'm surprised that we're now meeting a Tamara.
00:14What are they, uh, having your office painted or something?
00:19Actually, I wouldn't know, seeing as it's not my office anymore.
00:26Not your office?
00:28What do you mean?
00:30I'm leaving, Demira.
00:52Stephanie.
00:54Are you busy? I can come back another time.
00:57No, this is fine.
00:59I'm happy to take a break.
01:02Please, come in.
01:09So, what can I do for you?
01:12I'm, uh, I'm here about the advance for my next book.
01:15Look, I, I already missed the deadline to submit my proposal to Kate, so I can't accept this check.
01:24I can't take money for work I haven't done.
01:28And won't, uh, so stay strong, my darling Rachel, know that I am always here for you.
01:44Love, Grandma, love, Grandma Marlena.
01:47Love, Grandma Marlena.
02:12Hey, boy, I can see you right now.
02:14I will be right there.
02:27Oh, my God.
02:30Oh, my God.
02:32Hey.
02:38Oh, my God.
02:41Oh, my God.
02:42Oh, my God.
02:44You're getting so big.
02:45I was really worried about her after I visited her in the hospital.
02:48Uh, she was pretty open with me about everything she's been feeling since she was rescued, and I encouraged her
02:54to be open with you, too.
02:57She did talk to you, right?
03:02No, um, honestly, Chanel, she hasn't really been open with me about anything lately.
03:11What she said to you, please tell me.
03:16I need to know that.
03:21Remo, it's so great to see you.
03:23What, did you, uh, miss me?
03:26Yeah, kind of.
03:27No, of course.
03:29Well, what are you doing back in Salem?
03:31Well, my leave of absence from the fire department is coming to an end, and I got a message from
03:35the chief wondering if I needed to be replaced or if I could come back to cover an upcoming return
03:42leave.
03:43So, here I am.
03:45Yeah.
03:46So you've just been staying over here for a while.
03:48Uh, well, since my dad is doing really well right now, um, I agreed to come back to the department
03:57full-time.
03:57So, yeah, baby, I'm here for good.
04:01And, uh, I just, I really hope that my room is still vacant.
04:07Yeah.
04:08No, of course it is.
04:10But why didn't you let us know that you were coming back to Salem?
04:17Because I was afraid that you'd tell me not to.
04:31Like sand through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.
04:48Why would we have told you not to come back?
04:51We really missed you, Gabby.
04:53She goes on and on about how the house is too quiet without you.
04:57Well, you know, as nice as that is to hear, that's not what I meant.
05:01I thought that you and Gabby would want to keep me away from Leo.
05:06Oh, well, yeah, sure, we don't want you to get hurt again, but...
05:13About what?
05:14But don't look now, but Leo is right behind you.
05:18Oh, my God, please don't let him see me.
05:21Uh, listen, I am sure that this town is big enough for the both of you.
05:26Yeah, baby.
05:29Alex, what Stephanie told me was in confidence, and I thought that she told you, otherwise I wouldn't have mentioned
05:37it.
05:38I'm just, I'm just trying to help her.
05:41You know, that is, that is all, and I can't do that if I don't know what the hell is
05:44going on.
05:47I will not tell her that we talked.
05:50Alex, I...
05:51Chanel, please, I am truly worried about her.
05:59Okay, well, um, she just told me that she's, uh, she's feeling pretty down about herself,
06:10and, like, she can't trust her own decisions, and she blames herself for everything that happened to her,
06:18all the bad stuff, and, well, um, she said that she's, uh, I think, wreck was the word she used.
06:28Oh, my God.
06:31Alex, you really had no idea that she was feeling that way?
06:36No, I didn't.
06:38Not really, because, I mean, obviously she's determined to seem so strong in front of me.
06:44She's acting like she's able to handle all this okay on her own, but she just won't let me in.
06:51I don't understand why.
06:55Look, if you're worried about Titan being in financial straits, that is not an issue anymore, okay?
07:03Xander worked some magic and was able to pay off the latest loan installment,
07:07which has bought us a little time.
07:12So, keep the check.
07:14Please.
07:20And why are you looking so sad, Steph?
07:22What's going on?
07:25Maybe you didn't hear me just now, Phillip.
07:28I said I can't accept a check for work I haven't done.
07:34Yeah, I heard that, but...
07:35And won't ever do.
07:37Did you hear that part?
07:42So, what are you saying?
07:45I'm saying that...
07:47I'm not just going to be late on my next proposal.
07:53There won't be one.
07:56Or another book.
07:59I'm not going to write anymore.
08:02I need you to release me from my contract.
08:11I'm here.
08:13I'm here.
08:14I ran all the way over and then up the stairs because it was taking the elevator forever to come
08:18down,
08:19but...
08:20Luckily, I can move very quickly when love is on the line.
08:23Can I tell you, I once broke my middle school's record for the 100-meter dash,
08:26all to impress Sammy Trenton, who, it turns out, was not impressed at all
08:30and just looked at me like I'd sneezed all over his lunch tray.
08:32Neil?
08:33Yeah.
08:33Take a breath and calm down.
08:38It's not helping.
08:38I don't feel any calmer.
08:40Do it again.
08:41It'll help.
08:42Okay.
08:48Now, last time I saw you, you were recovering from a concussion.
08:53Do you think that might have caused this?
08:56No.
08:57No, it's not my head, Dr. Evans.
08:59It's my heart.
09:03You're leaving Demera?
09:07But just yesterday, we were discussing a partnership between our two companies.
09:13Did something happen at work?
09:15Have the other Demeras been giving you a hard time?
09:17Oh.
09:18Nothing like that, and, uh...
09:22I'd rather not talk about it.
09:26Okay.
09:29Well, I'm not gonna pressure you to explain.
09:36But since you know my deepest, darkest secret,
09:39I'm sure you know that you can trust me.
09:43If you do want to talk about it, I'm here for you.
09:49Hmm?
09:57Alex, I'm sure that Stephanie will open up to you about how she's feeling.
10:02In her own time.
10:04She just probably doesn't want to worry you.
10:07Yeah.
10:09You're probably right.
10:11Thank you for always being so supportive.
10:17And I'm sorry, by the way, about the whole Titan coming after Demera and Johnny with the whole plagiarism lawsuit.
10:24Dude, I was just talking to Philip about how blindsided we were by that entire thing.
10:29The rumor's true.
10:31Is Johnny gonna be the new...
10:34Demera, CEO, for good?
10:36Yes, yes.
10:38The rumors are true.
10:40It's a done deal, in fact.
10:43How do you feel about that?
10:46Not so great.
10:54You know, I hope you know that whatever you tell me stays between us.
10:59I do know that.
11:01But like I said, I'd rather not talk about it.
11:07Anyway, I turned in my full proposal to Johnny, and I asked him if he would honor it.
11:13So if you have any questions, reach out to him.
11:17Although I doubt you will.
11:20Why wouldn't I?
11:22Considering your past experience with Demera Enterprises and the family that started it,
11:29And now your current connection to one of the CEOs of Titan.
11:32It just seems more likely that you'll partner with Philip's company rather than ours.
11:40You are underestimating my desire to make sure that Gabby Sheik gets the best possible deal.
11:46And that can be Titan or Demera, regardless of who's running which company.
11:53So I'm not automatically choosing Titan just because Philip and I are involved in moving in together.
12:07So Leo is back from Melomania.
12:10He is.
12:12Yeah.
12:13Andrew Donovan brought him back to the States for treatment.
12:17Treatment for what?
12:20An assassin tried to take out him and Demetri.
12:23Oh, my God.
12:23Is he okay?
12:24He's okay.
12:25All he got was a concussion, and apparently last night they let him out of the hospital.
12:33Look, I'm sorry.
12:35I am sorry for not telling you that he and Demetri went to Alomania.
12:39I just didn't want to hurt you.
12:41Then later on I realized that it was probably going to hurt you more to find out from Leo.
12:46It's okay.
12:48I don't have to apologize.
12:50Because what really hurt was being left hanging for months without having a clear answer as to whether he loved
12:57me and only me.
12:58Only to find out that Leo knew the answer all along.
13:03Yeah.
13:05Well, maybe not.
13:12So there we were, in bed, and then I suddenly pulled away from Demetri and I told him I couldn't
13:17do it.
13:17Which he thought meant I couldn't do it.
13:19I could do it.
13:21That's not what I meant.
13:22But I pulled away from him because suddenly my emotions took over, and I finally had an answer to the
13:28question that has been haunting me for months.
13:30Do I want to be with Demetri?
13:31Do I want to be with Javi?
13:34And you chose Demetri?
13:36No, no, no, no, no.
13:38I chose Javi.
13:39It's always been Javi.
13:41But I obviously repressed those feelings because I deeply and cosmically convinced myself, as you well know, Dr. Evans, that
13:48Leo Stark does not deserve a happy ending.
13:52And now, I have been deleted from his life like an embarrassing tweet.
13:58All these months of wringing my hands, trying to make a decision, and it has cost me the love of
14:04my life.
14:05Oh, if only...
14:09If only what?
14:12If only I'd behaved like my old self.
14:16Basically a one-man show called, Is He Breathing? Then Good Enough.
14:20Because then I would have jumped into bed with Demetri right away, and I'd have an answer right away on
14:25Javi's and my wedding night.
14:26And then Javi and I would still be married.
14:35So you're giving up writing?
14:40I won't ask you why.
14:42It's none of my business.
14:44But I'm sure you know my mother will not take the news very well.
14:48Yeah, of course she won't.
14:51And I'm so sorry, Phillip. I don't want to cause any problems.
14:56Hey, you have to take care of yourself.
14:59That's the most important thing.
15:02And don't worry about my mother, either. I can handle her.
15:06And I'll see to a legal...
15:08...brings up a mutual recession memo to get you released from your contract.
15:14Thank you so much.
15:17Sure.
15:20And hey, I'm sorry for what you've been through.
15:25What you're obviously still going through.
15:30I'm sure the thought of...
15:33...telling someone's love story...
15:34...digging into all those emotions...
15:37...would be an upsetting thing for you to deal with right now.
15:45Maybe someday I'll get back to it.
15:49But right now...
15:52...the idea of telling someone else's love story...
15:58...digging into that emotion...
16:02...the joy...
16:03...and the pain...
16:06...I just can't do it anymore.
16:12Oh, my God.
16:15You already knew that I was coming here to do this.
16:19Alex told you.
16:21Didn't he?
16:35Alex and I talked...
16:36Don't try to deny it.
16:38Philip, you just said exactly what I told him, nearly verbatim.
16:43Alex came to see you, didn't he?
16:45To tell you that I was giving up my writing career.
16:50Yes.
16:52He did.
16:53And if I'm being fully transparent...
16:56...I already spoke to legal.
16:59I'm sorry.
17:01I just wanted to make it easier on you.
17:04So did Alex.
17:05I'm sure he didn't mean to go behind your back.
17:07Of course he meant to go behind my back.
17:10Because he doesn't think that I'm up to handling any of this on my own.
17:15That is insulting as hell.
17:19And it's not true.
17:21I am a strong and resilient person.
17:24I will...
17:24I will not be treated like some helpless victim.
17:28You are definitely not that.
17:30You are strong and resilient.
17:34And I hate that I was complicit in making you feel...
17:38...that you were shortchanged in any way.
17:44It's not your fault.
17:47You were just doing what Alex asked you, too.
17:53And thank you...
17:55...for being so understanding.
17:57And for offering to deal with your mother.
18:02Now I need to go deal with Alex.
18:06So then...
18:07...Johnny and I decided that it was best...
18:10...to probably just stop trying to fight the inevitable...
18:14...and let E.J. back in our lives.
18:17But on our terms.
18:20Well, you never can be too careful with E.J.
18:23It is hard to blame him, though.
18:25For not wanting to give up on his family.
18:28I mean, who wouldn't want to be involved with this little guy?
18:32Well, hey, if you and Stephanie ever want to get in some practice...
18:35...before you start a family of your own...
18:36...you can borrow him.
18:37Well, I could borrow him?
18:38Mm-hmm.
18:39Maybe instead of borrowing him, Stephanie and I could just...
18:41...I don't know, babysit...
18:43...whenever you and Johnny need a break, or...
18:45...I don't know, you don't got anybody else.
18:47Okay, well, you know what?
18:48You better mean that, because I might take you up on it.
18:56You...you and Philip are moving in together?
18:59Yeah.
19:00He's, uh, going back to the Kiriakis estate...
19:02...and invited me to be his roommate.
19:04Oh.
19:05I didn't realize you guys were wronged yet, though.
19:09Moving in stage.
19:12Well, things have been going really well for us.
19:16So I just felt like the next logical step.
19:19And has this next step affected whether you'll tell Philip or not...
19:26...about your secret?
19:27No, absolutely not.
19:30Philip can never know what I did.
19:33What about the just...
19:36...just keeps getting away at you?
19:40I won't.
19:42I won't let it.
19:45You know what?
19:47I think you and I need an excuse to just relax and have fun.
19:52So, are you and Jada free tonight, by any chance?
19:58We are.
19:59We were just talking about earlier what we are going to do tonight.
20:04Great.
20:06And I think it's a sign.
20:10Of course it is.
20:13No, I mean, it's a sign for that long overdue trivia night that we've been talking about.
20:22That little plan.
20:25Sounds like our plan.
20:29Wait, you think that Leo didn't have the answers?
20:32Why would you say that?
20:34Uh, look, far be it for me to put in a good word about Leo Stark, but...
20:39...I don't think him choosing between you and Von Leuchner was as easy as a walk in a park.
20:45In fact, I think that he's been kind of, um, depressed lately.
20:52Did, um, Dimitri come back to Salem with him?
20:57No, they didn't come back together.
21:00But the Alamanian authorities tried to detain him at first.
21:05He's here now.
21:07Well, what about the...
21:09...the mirror kidnapping charges against him?
21:13Leo and Dimitri managed to clear his name.
21:16Right.
21:18Well, it seems like things are going pretty smoothly for those two.
21:24And you know what?
21:25Since Leo has definitely moved on, it allows me to feel free to do the same.
21:35Oh, Dr. Evans.
21:37Not only did I keep him in limbo so long and needed a zip code, but I lied about being
21:42in Alamanian with Dimitri.
21:43And that, that was the emotional Jenga block that took down the whole tower.
21:49And now he's gone, which is probably for the best.
21:52Because even if he did forgive me, even if he did think I was still worth loving, I would just
21:58end up hurting him again.
22:00You can't think like that.
22:02That's just negative self-talk.
22:05It's negative, yes, but it's not just self-talk.
22:08It's what Dimitri told me before he left.
22:10And he's absolutely right.
22:21Hey, you two.
22:23Hi, Chanel.
22:24Hey, baby.
22:26Oh, my goodness.
22:28Ray.
22:29He's getting so big.
22:31Oh, no, and he's dying to see his favorite uncle.
22:34What a cutie.
22:36Okay, well, I will leave you three to it, and I will see you later tonight.
22:41See you then.
22:50So, uh, Johnny is taking over your position at Dimera.
22:57Yeah, he is.
23:00And why are you leaving, Theo?
23:03The real reason.
23:16Exactly what did Dimitri say to you before he left?
23:21He said, among some other very nasty things, you're damaged goods, Leo, you're never going to find happiness now, I
23:29was your last chance, and you blew it, and this was the biggest mistake of your life.
23:36Was he twisting his mustache when he said it?
23:40I bet he would have been if he had one.
23:43Ugh.
23:44What did I ever see in him?
23:45I mean, besides the whole tall, dark, handsome, mesmerizing, virile, whole package thing.
23:51God, I'm such a shallow, horrible person, Dr. Evans.
23:56No.
23:57No, you're not.
24:00Look, there was a time when you and Dimitri were cut from the same cloth.
24:07I think that was because it made you feel safer, more comfortable.
24:14But we have discussed this.
24:17You have changed.
24:19You are far more self-aware.
24:23You're more sensitive to other people's feelings, and you're more understanding of your own feelings now.
24:29So, I've gone from walking disaster to work in progress.
24:35So, does not mean that I'm worthy of Javi's love.
24:39Well, you may feel that way now, but let's let Javi decide how he feels.
24:52Are you really okay with all this?
24:54I am.
24:55Honestly, maybe even better than okay.
24:58Because when I was in Texas, I was there.
25:05Oh, my God, what's going on?
25:08Are you here?
25:09What is this?
25:10Actually, I'm here to stay.
25:13Ah.
25:35Hey, how'd it go?
25:38It went well.
25:41I returned the advance, and Philip agreed to release me from my contract.
25:47He even agreed to speak to Kate on my behalf.
25:51Some new things over with her.
25:53That's great.
25:56I had a feeling things were going to work out.
26:00Oh, I think you had more than a feeling.
26:06Because you orchestrated the whole thing.
26:21Look, I know that you didn't want to tell Johnny about why you're leaving DiMera.
26:26But he sensed that there was something wrong.
26:32Yeah.
26:34Johnny has a lot going on.
26:36He just had a new job.
26:38He died in a lawsuit.
26:40He's had a kid at home.
26:41Another on the way.
26:42We're not talking about Johnny right now.
26:44We're talking about you.
26:46Ah.
26:46And I'm not going to push you to talk either.
26:50But I can't help but wonder if EJ has something to do with your very sudden decision.
27:03Okay.
27:05I'll admit I almost called Javi before I called you.
27:11Well, I'm glad talking to me helped.
27:15So you can call him now.
27:17Now?
27:18No.
27:19No, no, no, no, no, no.
27:19Now's not a good time.
27:21See, if I even think about telling him how I feel, my heart turns into a caffeinated squirrel on roller
27:26skates.
27:29Look, I know this is a very big beep for you, but you're going to have to take it sooner
27:37or later.
27:40And you know what?
27:42I will be right here with you.
27:45So if it turns out to be good or bad, whatever happens, I will be here when you hang up
27:52the phone.
28:14Javi, that is wonderful news about you, Gabby.
28:17And Ari is going to be so relieved and so excited that you're coming back and you're staying with us,
28:22right?
28:22I mean, you are staying with us, because if you came back thinking that you and Leo would have things...
28:28I didn't believe me.
28:30That is the last thing that I want.
28:36Well, and speak of the devil.
28:39Okay, both of you, look.
28:42Voicemail.
28:44Good for you, Javi.
28:46And I'm sorry, I would love to stay, but I have to go.
28:49I will see you both at the house later tonight.
28:52I'll be there.
28:54So good to have you back, Primova.
28:56It's good to be back, baby.
28:58I love you.
28:59I love you.
29:00And I love you, too.
29:01Well, I love you.
29:03All right, see you later.
29:06See?
29:07I told you.
29:10I will say this.
29:12You know, it's only a matter of time before you cross paths with Leo.
29:16I mean, clearly, you're not going to be able to avoid him forever.
29:20And you're saying I shouldn't avoid him?
29:22It's just like, the thought of seeing him right now makes my skin grow.
29:26Well, what I'm saying is that you might want to confront him on your own terms.
29:34Yeah.
29:36Yeah.
29:37You're right.
29:38I will confront him when I'm ready.
29:43Okay?
29:45Okay.
29:52Look, I left Demir because it's the right thing for me.
29:56And you came to that decision all on your own.
30:05Well, I just want you to know that I'm here for you.
30:08Mm-hmm.
30:08All right?
30:09You're not just like a brother to me.
30:11You're the brother that I never had.
30:14And I am so grateful that our parents are together and they get to be a part of my life.
30:23And I know that you don't want to talk to me about whatever clearly is bothering you.
30:30But I think it's important that, for your own sake, you at least talk to someone.
30:38I am a grown woman, Alex.
30:42Alex, I've handled my business affairs long before you came into my life.
30:46But instead of respecting that, you let me make a fool of myself, rambling on to Philip about everything he
30:52already knew.
30:53I am sure that Philip didn't think you were being foolish.
30:56Yeah, well, I felt foolish.
31:00Damn foolish.
31:03My God, Alex, you say that you want to protect me.
31:06But then all you end up doing is coddling me, treating me like a child.
31:15And when I needed your protection, when I desperately needed your protection, when it actually mattered?
31:25I failed you.
31:29That's what you were going to say.
31:31Right?
31:43I knew it.
31:44I knew it was a mistake to call.
31:47Look, we don't know why Hoppy's not picking up the phone.
31:51Maybe he's driving, or maybe he's having a conversation with his father.
31:59But when the time is right, the two of you will talk.
32:04What if the time is never right?
32:08You know what?
32:11Regardless of the outcome with Hoppy, you've become a man that I never met before.
32:19You've become a man who has denied himself instant gratification.
32:26And you've become true to yourself.
32:29You'll never regret that decision, no matter what happens with Hoppy.
32:38Yeah, you're right.
32:40I am being true to myself.
32:43No acts.
32:45No cover-up.
32:49Just my broken but hopeful heart.
32:57Chanel!
32:58Harvey!
32:59Hey!
33:00When did you get back to town?
33:02Oh, I just got here.
33:03But I'm so glad that I ran into you.
33:04And you, little T.
33:08Oh, my.
33:10Look at you.
33:14Sorry.
33:15It's just been so long since I've seen him.
33:17Yeah, you know.
33:18Too long.
33:19And those pictures that you sent me were so great, by the way.
33:23Thank you so much.
33:25I, uh...
33:27I just...
33:27I missed him so much while I was gone, and I was worried that he wouldn't recognize me.
33:31What?
33:32Are you kidding me?
33:33Hey, hey, you didn't forget me, did you, Trey?
33:38Are you kidding?
33:40You and Leo were such a big part of his life, he could never forget you.
33:49I have an idea.
33:51I think that I want to remember this moment forever.
33:54So I'm going to take a selfie with my two best guys, okay?
33:58Everybody look at me.
33:59Okay.
34:00And on the count of three, say, treasure.
34:02One, two, three.
34:04Treasure!
34:07And I'll never forget him, either.
34:10He'll always be in my heart.
34:15Hey there, handsome.
34:18Hey.
34:19I was just thinking about you.
34:23Really?
34:25Shouldn't you be focusing on work while you're at work?
34:29There's always time to plan a date for the special someone in my life.
34:33And what kind of date have you planned?
34:37A romantic dinner for two in our suite,
34:40followed by a couple's massage.
34:46Wait, is this happening tonight?
34:49What, you have other plans?
34:52Actually, we have other plans.
34:55I just told Theo that we'd meet up with him and Jada at the pub for trivia night.
35:02Trivia, again.
35:04What?
35:05Trivia, again?
35:06We had a lot of fun last time, remember?
35:09I know.
35:10I was just hoping to have you all to myself tonight.
35:14That's all.
35:17Let the lady get what she wants.
35:19Damn right she does.
35:22And hey, I...
35:25We will reschedule our romantic dinner for another night.
35:29I promise.
35:31I'm going to hold you to that.
35:34For now, I'd settle for a romantic afternoon in the office.
35:39You're on.
35:59Hello.
36:02My name is Theo Carter.
36:04I'd like to make an appointment with Dr. Evans.
36:10That's what you meant to say, isn't it?
36:15That I wasn't there when you needed me.
36:18Alex, I'm sorry.
36:22That came out wrong.
36:26What happened with Owen?
36:28Of course you're not to blame.
36:31I just...
36:33I get so frustrated when everyone treats me like I'm made of glass.
36:39Well, I'm just worried about you, Stephanie.
36:43That is all.
36:46I'm frustrated because I'm talking to other people who have agreed with me.
36:49That it would help both of us.
36:51If you would just share with me what you're feeling lately.
36:55Wait, who...
36:56Who have you been talking to?
36:57Just people who care about you.
36:59That's all.
37:00What, are you just going around Salem airing our dirty laundry,
37:02telling everyone how pathetic I'm...
37:04No, of course not, Stephanie.
37:05All I've told anyone is that you won't even talk to me anymore.
37:10And it is frustrating.
37:15You need to let me in.
37:18Steph, you need to let me...
37:19No, you have no idea what I need.
37:22And neither does anyone else.
37:24And right now, I need some air.
37:30Steph, please.
37:31Steph!
37:32You need to let me in.
37:33You need to let me in.
37:41You need to let me in.
