05:26My friend, you know, I, I am, I'm so glad you're here.
05:33You always, you always show up at the right time, right when my heart couldn't take much more.
05:41Oh, my God.
05:42Oh.
05:43Oh.
05:52Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.
06:26Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.
06:31All right, my friend, tell me why and how long are you here?
06:40Well, I'm here because this is my home now.
06:47Eli and I are moving back to Salem.
06:49What?
06:50Are you serious?
06:52Yes, I am serious.
06:54And I'm sorry I didn't call you sooner.
06:56It's just these last few days have been a whirlwind.
07:00No, no, no, no, no.
07:01Do not worry about that.
07:03No, no, no.
07:05I mean, honestly, Lonnie, this is the best news I have had in a very long, long time.
07:13Mm-hmm.
07:32Hey.
07:34Hey.
07:35How was your day?
07:37Oh, it was fine.
07:40Trey, he's asleep now, but he was great.
07:42Everyone at the bakery got a huge kick out of him, and Lonnie helped me a lot, like I told
07:48you.
07:48Right, yes.
07:49I'm so glad she's back in Salem.
07:51Yeah, me too.
07:52Well, and Chanel, um, you know, you said when I called you earlier that you were too busy to make
08:00a doctor's appointment, so...
08:02So what?
08:05So I made one for you.
08:11So you were not going to go back to Salem U in the fall.
08:15Yeah, you...
08:17I mean, you said you were okay with that.
08:22I am.
08:25I'm not going to force you to do anything you don't want to do.
08:28And I understand that a four-year degree program is not for everyone, but...
08:33Son, I, um...
08:35I need you to do something.
08:37You know, you...
08:38You're really going to have to think about your future, and I want you to keep an open mind about
08:42it.
08:44Just, just, just...
08:46Know that you can always re-enroll if you change your mind, right?
08:51Right.
08:52Yeah, I know that.
08:54Okay.
08:55Have you told your mother about this?
08:58Yeah.
08:59I called her earlier, and she freaked out at first, but...
09:06Given the fact that she never went to college herself, she couldn't really force the issue, so...
09:10She ended up being supportive.
09:12Eventually.
09:14Hmm.
09:15Well, that's good, I guess.
09:18So tell me, what is it you've decided you want to pursue then?
09:24Well, I took this really, really cool exercise physiology class, and I loved it.
09:31And it made me realize that I want to become a certified personal trainer.
09:40CPT.
09:40That's right.
09:41I know you've got a few of those.
09:42I definitely have.
09:44I have one right now.
09:45Cameron.
09:46Great guy, super motivational.
09:48Actually makes working out fun.
09:50See?
09:51That's exactly what I hope to do.
09:55So what do you think?
09:57What do I think?
10:00I think that we're going to have a lot of acronyms in our family.
10:05What does that mean?
10:09I've decided to become a licensed PI.
10:15Look, I'm so sorry that Johnny is upset about this plagiarism suit, because, you know, I agree it's such an
10:23unfortunate situation, but I did not set him up, Roman.
10:29And yet, Johnny seems pretty convinced you did.
10:34Yeah, well, you know, he's young, he's inexperienced, frankly, I think maybe he's not mature enough to admit that he
10:44made a mistake.
10:45So you're saying if anyone went looking, there would be no evidence connecting you or Jake to Johnny choosing to
10:53publish that book?
10:55Yes, that is what I'm saying, because there is none.
11:02Xander, I've reminded you that everything we say here is always confidential.
11:08Maybe so, but don't you think it's just a wee bit manipulative to ask me a question like that under
11:14the guise of therapy when you really want to know the answer for your own purposes?
11:20Well, I think your answer will show you how successful your therapy has been.
11:28So, what is it?
11:31Were you lying to Johnny?
11:34Were you also lying to Roman and to Maggie?
11:40And please be reminded that if you're lying to me now, that will break the conditions of our therapy.
11:48I don't need reminding.
11:51Good.
11:54What is it?
11:56My answer is I...
11:59I have nothing to say.
12:13So, because I didn't give you a satisfactory answer to your question,
12:18I assume you're dropping me as a patient?
12:23No.
12:26Xander, you have done a lot of very questionable things during our time together.
12:35And many of them are far worse than this.
12:38So, this is just not a deal breaker.
12:43Let's move on.
12:46Let's talk about...
12:48Gwen.
12:49How's the queen with Gwen?
12:50How's that relationship?
12:53Fine.
12:54I believe.
12:56You don't sound very sure.
12:59Well, EJ did kick her out of the mansion earlier today.
13:05How is that relevant?
13:07It's just that if Gwen is no longer living on the demerit grounds,
13:12then spending so much time with her isn't quite as appealing.
13:24So, you're taking the job at Black Patch?
13:28Dad, this is so great.
13:31Congratulations.
13:32It means a lot that you're supportive of it.
13:35I mean, likewise.
13:37I can't tell you how much I appreciate you understanding why I want to leave school.
13:41And don't worry.
13:43I will not be slacking off this summer because I already have a job lined up.
13:49Really?
13:49Wait, wait, wait.
13:50You're quitting the pub?
13:51No.
13:51I should say I have another job lined up.
13:55Actually, my martial arts instructor offered to let me teach at the dojo.
14:00I'm going to be co-instructing with him later today just to start figuring it out, learning the ropes.
14:06Hey, that's great, man.
14:09Yeah.
14:09I'm happy for you.
14:12Yeah, I'm just really lucky this opportunity came up.
14:16Yeah.
14:17Yeah, you are.
14:18How does Holly feel about all this exciting news?
14:23I don't know because I haven't told her yet.
14:26But don't worry.
14:27I'm going to tell her.
14:28I was just going to wait until finals were over with.
14:33Although I'm not sure that's going to be the best time either.
14:37What is that?
14:38She's just been stressed since Sophia got out of Bayview.
14:45I'm sure she is.
14:46I'm sure she is.
14:47Why wouldn't she be?
14:50Do you have any word on the fingerprint analysis?
14:55No, the lab isn't done analyzing it yet.
14:58But with any luck, we'll have enough evidence to make sure Sophia is brought to justice.
15:08Okay.
15:10I hate to question your honesty.
15:13But you're going to anyway.
15:15If there's one thing I'm confident in, it's your devotion to your family.
15:19Phillip is your son.
15:22Titan is Victor's legacy, not to mention you work for Titan.
15:26So if you had to make a choice between protecting your family or mine.
15:30Do you think I would choose mine?
15:32Is that such an unfair assumption?
15:34You've certainly done it before.
15:38When?
15:39You're really going to make me say it, Kate?
15:41When your son kidnapped my daughter, you had no trouble keeping that to yourself.
15:47Oh, for God's sake, Roman, this is not the same thing at all.
15:51You're right.
15:51You're right.
15:52That was work.
15:53My daughter was put in a situation where she didn't know whether she was going to live or die.
15:58She was traumatized, and you knew your son was responsible, but you didn't tell me.
16:05Because by the time I found out, Sammy was already home, safe and happy, and happy in love with Lucas.
16:13Yeah.
16:14And you also wanted to protect Lucas.
16:16So like I said, when you did actually have to make a choice, you chose to protect your own family.
16:25And you would do exactly the same thing, Roman.
16:36Okay.
16:37We have celebrated that I am here, but I'm done talking about me.
16:43I want to talk about you and Rachel.
16:48Kristen, you just got out of Statesville.
16:51I can't even imagine what it must be like for you now that Rachel is locked away.
16:59Agony.
17:01You don't see her suffer like this.
17:05She hates Bayview, and she doesn't even know why she's there.
17:13I would do anything to take her place.
17:16Yes, of course you would.
17:20It's got to be nice, you know, being with your babies.
17:28Hey, tomorrow, why don't we get together and I can see your beautiful twins, huh?
17:36I would love that, but I just made a plan to go with Chanel to the aquarium tomorrow.
17:42Oh, okay.
17:43Well, the aquarium should be fun.
17:46Are Eli and Johnny going with you?
17:48No, Eli is still in D.C.
17:51He's wrapping up a few things.
17:52He won't be here for a couple days.
17:54Johnny is working from home tomorrow, which is why Chanel wants to go to the aquarium.
17:59She wants to get Trey out of the house one day.
18:02Right, right, right, right.
18:05Huh.
18:09Well, you and Chanel will have fun.
18:12Eh?
18:18You did what?
18:20I called Sarah.
18:21I made an appointment for you.
18:22She said she could see you this afternoon.
18:25It's just, Chanel, you've had such a busy day, and you're always taking care of everyone else before yourself, so
18:31I...
18:31Damn it, Johnny!
18:32Why would you do that?
18:34Why would you disrespect me like that?
18:48So what you're saying is that you are using Gwen?
18:54That you are sleeping with her so that you can snoop around the demure mansion?
19:00No, I mean, it's just, it's not only that, I'm very attracted to Gwen.
19:06I mean, she's gorgeous, bright, funny, great, sense of humor, great, everything else.
19:15Snooping around the demure mansion is just a big added bonus.
19:20And I get the feeling...
19:25Go on.
19:27That while you might not approve of me being in a frivolous, no-strings relationship with Gwen...
19:36You completely support any attempt to bring down E.J.
19:41Am I right?
19:45And here we are out of time.
19:47Hmm.
19:48We can pick that up at our next session.
19:51Yes, we will.
19:52Well, and thank you, your discretion, Dr. Rick.
19:58Thank you for your honesty.
20:17So I assume that blood was a confession.
20:21No, it wasn't.
20:24But you are right.
20:26You are right about one thing.
20:28I would do anything for my family.
20:33And you and I are married.
20:37Your family is included in mine.
20:39And I would hope mine would be included in yours.
20:45We are now one family, Roman.
20:49And isn't that what it meant when we pledged ourselves to each other in marriage?
20:53It is.
20:54Yeah.
20:57Okay, my love, and tell me, how can I fix this?
21:02What can I do?
21:03What can I say to convince you that I only want the best for Johnny?
21:21Hey.
21:23Hey.
21:25What's up?
21:26Nothing much.
21:27I just, uh, was thinking about you.
21:29I thought I'd check in.
21:31How's your day going?
21:33It's busy as usual, but it's good to hear your voice.
21:38Well, what would you say to hearing it in person?
21:41Maybe when your shift is over, if you're not too tired, we could get together.
21:48I'd love that.
22:00Sophia, wait.
22:06What do you want, Tate?
22:09We need to talk.
22:14Chanel, okay, you're right.
22:16I'm sorry.
22:16I shouldn't have called Sarah.
22:18No, you shouldn't have.
22:20Okay, we don't even know for a fact that there's something wrong with me.
22:22And you're over here acting like I'm on life support.
22:25I told you, it is common for women to get breast lumps during pregnancy.
22:33Chanel, just listen to me, okay?
22:36Hey, I know that you want to believe that everything with your health is perfect.
22:42I want to believe that, too.
22:43But if, God forbid, something is wrong, then the sooner we catch it, the better, right?
22:49And if nothing's wrong, then we can totally relax.
22:54When is the appointment?
22:56Soon.
22:57Uh, we'd have to leave in the next 15 minutes.
22:59But, hey, maybe while we're there, we could see if we could do an ultrasound, see the baby.
23:04Yeah, and what about our other baby?
23:06I just put him down for his nap.
23:08I know, all right?
23:09I already called the sitter, Harriet.
23:10She's on her way over here.
23:11So, will you please just go?
23:16Fine.
23:17All right, let's just get this over with.
23:43I didn't realize anyone was in here.
23:46And I didn't realize that you had a free pass to stroll around our home.
23:52I would let me in.
23:53I think maybe I left my earbud in Gwen's old room, so if you don't mind, I'm just going to
23:58go.
23:58Oh, no, I do mind.
24:01Hmm.
24:02My brother would mind, too, if he were here.
24:06E.J. doesn't want you snooping around, and neither do I.
24:10Snooping?
24:11Hmm.
24:11Why would you think I was snooping around here?
24:15Whatever gave you that idea?
24:23Kate, there's only one way to fix this.
24:26Drop the lawsuit against the mayor.
24:32Sweetheart, I would if I could.
24:34But it's out of my hands now.
24:37If Titan didn't respond to such a blatant case of plagiarism, it would be open season on us right now.
24:45We had to protect our intellectual property.
24:48At the expense of my grandson.
24:53I hate, I hate the fact that he's involved in any of this, but this lawsuit, it's so big.
25:00It's bigger than our personal relations.
25:02It's just taken on a life of its own.
25:06Once Demira published Bonnie's book, there was no turning back.
25:20So glad you could meet me for lunch.
25:22Well, you are now a priority.
25:25Because since you no longer live under my roof, I have to find you to catch up with all the
25:31news.
25:32I know, I know.
25:33Well, hey, first things first.
25:35Rachel loved the card that you sent her.
25:38Oh, what a card.
25:39I'm so glad.
25:40And she especially loved that it came snail mail.
25:43That's a novelty, apparently, these days.
25:46Yeah.
25:50I'm so sorry that she's at Bayview.
25:53I just, I wish that things had gone differently in the morning.
25:55Marlene, Marlene, I know.
25:57I know you feel somewhat responsible, and you should.
26:01I wish things had gone a different way, of course, but it's not your fault.
26:10But on a lighter note, I have some good news.
26:14Oh, please.
26:15Please, some good news.
26:17Okay.
26:19I'm going to be working with Steve as a P.I.
26:27I'm putting the black back into black patch.
26:37So, what do you want to talk about?
26:39No, it's more like I'm going to talk and you're going to listen.
26:43Sophia, you need to stay away from Holly, okay?
26:46She doesn't need you causing any more trouble in her life, you got it?
26:50Seriously?
26:52If anything, she's the one who needs to stay away from me.
26:55What are you talking about?
26:57She's making my life miserable.
26:59Going around the school saying all of this horrible stuff about me behind my back,
27:03and not to mention all of the horrible stuff that she has said to my face.
27:06Oh, come on.
27:08Like what?
27:08Like what?
27:10Like just the other day, your perfect little girlfriend?
27:15She told me that she wished I was dead.
27:21Uh, so this lump, which I felt too, obviously, could just be hormonal changes causing the
27:31breast tissue to become denser and more nodular.
27:34Okay, see, it's like I said, it's just a normal part of pregnancy, right?
27:39Okay, well, we do need to get it checked out.
27:43Checked out?
27:43How?
27:44What do we do now?
27:45This is not a we thing, Johnny, okay?
27:48There's nothing for you to do here.
27:52Well, Johnny, got you here.
27:55So you did do something important.
27:59And to answer your question, I'll need to order a mammogram, and then we'll take it from
28:05there.
28:20A mammogram?
28:22Well, is that safe with the baby?
28:25Yeah, what about the radiation?
28:28Well, the risks are minimal, and in this case, they are far outweighed by the benefits.
28:34And we'll, of course, use an abdominal shield to protect the baby.
28:39Okay.
28:40Uh, well, when should we do this?
28:43I'm going to get it scheduled ASAP.
28:45Because you're worried?
28:46I wouldn't say that.
28:47No, it's just, you have been through so much to get to this stage in your pregnancy, and
28:52I just want to make sure that mama and baby are healthy.
28:55Okay?
28:56All right.
28:57Okay.
28:57So I'm going to let you know as soon as I have it set up.
29:00Is there anything else I can do?
29:03Yeah.
29:03Uh, well, while we're here, um, would it be okay if Johnny and I saw the baby?
29:12Yes, of course.
29:13Let me see if an ultrasound tech is available.
29:16All right.
29:16Okay?
29:17All right.
29:17Okay.
29:29Everything's going to be okay.
29:31Yeah.
29:33Yeah, I know it is.
29:36It has to be.
29:41Uh, yes.
29:42I have a patient with a concerning breast nodule in her second trimester of pregnancy.
29:48I need to get a mammogram scheduled as soon as possible.
30:01Cut the crap, Xander.
30:03What does he really want?
30:06The same as you?
30:07At least I think so.
30:09Let's find out what EJ's up to.
30:13Oh, why are you so interested?
30:16Well, you know what they say.
30:18Keep your friends close and your, uh, enemies closer.
30:23Hmm.
30:24Words to live by.
30:26Indeed.
30:27Hmm.
30:27Well, I best be off.
30:30Xander.
30:32They also say the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
30:38Hmm.
30:41This could be the start of a beautiful friendship.
30:48Hmm.
30:51So Tate wants to be a personal trainer.
30:55Yeah, he, um, said that he was inspired by this exercise physiology course that he took,
31:02and he wants to drop out of Salem U and pursue that career.
31:11Are you okay with that?
31:16I am.
31:19Because he's passionate about it.
31:21And I, I respect that.
31:25And if, if he changes his mind, he can always re-enroll.
31:28No big deal.
31:28Nothing's set in stone.
31:29Yeah.
31:30Well, I'm glad he's found something about what she feels passionate.
31:35As am I.
31:37Hey, what about you?
31:40And this possible new career path.
31:43Have you given more thought on this new role at Basic Black?
31:47Oh.
31:48Um.
31:50Yeah, I, I thought it was, uh, pretty promising, but I'm, I'm not sure it's going to work out.
32:00Yeah.
32:06So, how do you feel about your sweet little Holly now?
32:11Now that you know she's basically wishing me dead.
32:16Okay, even if Holly said that to you, it's not like she actually meant it.
32:22And how do I know that you're not lying to me right now?
32:24Oh, right, because I'm the evil, manipulative bitch, and she's just the sweet princess.
32:29Oh my God, you're not the victim here.
32:31You're not, no matter what Holly said to you, you are still the...
32:38Forget it.
32:39I need you to stay away from Holly.
32:41Okay?
32:42Sophia, if you try to hurt her again, I swear to you, I'll...
32:53You'll what?
33:05Well, go on.
33:07Tell me, what are you going to do to me?
33:08You're going to use your black belt skills on me?
33:12Put me in a chokehold?
33:13Oh my God, would you just stop?
33:15You're acting crazy.
33:20I'm sorry, I have no choice of words.
33:25Sophia, I need you to understand that Holly and I are together.
33:29Okay, we're solid.
33:31Nothing you say or do is going to change that.
33:34Do you get it?
33:36So you'd be perfectly happy to never see me again, is that it?
33:40Your words, not mine.
33:42Wow.
33:43Then you'd better be careful what you wish for, Tate.
33:52Is there anything I can do to help you make this decision?
33:56I mean, answer some questions?
33:59I'll figure it out.
34:01Thanks.
34:02Okay.
34:03Well, let me know what you decide.
34:06I will.
34:06You would be wonderful, that basic black.
34:09I'd be lucky to have you.
34:10Honey, thank you.
34:13Well, I've got to get going.
34:14I want to get the baby before visiting hours are over.
34:19Tell her I will see her there later.
34:22I will.
34:23Thanks for lunch.
34:24I love you.
34:25I love you more.
34:29Oh, honey, honey.
34:32Come on.
34:32Right.
34:38Hey, Brittany.
34:39Hey, you two.
34:40Sorry, I've got to worry.
34:41I don't know.
34:45Oh, good to see you, Marlina.
34:47From?
34:48Kate.
34:50I hear from Kate that you two might end up being colleagues.
34:55Oh.
34:58We're still looking at that.
35:10Hey.
35:11Oh.
35:12Hi.
35:13Uh, something wrong?
35:14Victoria and Fran are supposed to be here by now.
35:16No, um, Fran texted there's going to be a little late.
35:19Oh, I see.
35:20Um, did you come all the way just to tell me that?
35:25No.
35:25Oh, no, um, I wanted to bring you this.
35:31We were out of sunscreen this morning, so I just wanted to make sure you had enough on
35:34hand for your trip to the zoo.
35:37I'll make sure our daughter has slathered head to toe in this.
35:43Is everything all right?
35:47Yeah.
35:49Yeah, yeah, I'm just, um, counting my blessings.
36:00Well, Trey is still asleep, so I hope this doesn't mean he'll be up until wee hours tonight.
36:08Eh, he probably will, but we'll deal with it.
36:12Yeah.
36:13Yeah, we will.
36:14And then, hey, maybe we'll take him for another evening stroll.
36:20Yeah, right.
36:24So, Chanel, I, uh, hope you're not still mad at me for making that doctor's appointment.
36:31No, no, I, I think it's good that we went, but I would like to just forget about it for
36:38a while.
36:40Well, if you, uh, if you feel like you need a distraction, these might help.
36:50Wow, can you believe it?
36:52Our little guy's getting so big.
36:55Or little girl.
36:57Or girl, of course.
36:59Well, quattro.
37:02Either way, he can't wait to meet you.
37:06And I can't wait to hold you in my arms and watch you grow up.
37:18Hey, Chanel talked to me.
37:21What are you thinking about?
37:24I'm just, I'm worried that, that I might have cancer and that, that I just, I won't get to,
37:36to raise our kids.
37:37Hey, Chanel, please do not even say that.
37:46I mean, Sarah said the odds are in our favor, right?
37:51Yeah.
37:53Yeah.
37:57Hey.
37:58Hey.
38:00I promise you.
38:03No matter what happens.
38:07I am going to be right by your side.
38:11Always.
38:15Okay?
38:21Always.
38:23Always.
38:23Always.
38:24Always.
38:25Always.
38:26Always.
38:27Always.
38:27Always.
38:27Always.
38:28Always.
38:40I just wanted to let you know, the time to move on, Johnny, is tomorrow.
38:46His wife will be gone for the whole day.
38:50Tomorrow?
38:50That's, um, that's so soon, and I, I don't know if I'm ready.
38:56I mean, we're, we're talking about...
38:58Shut up and listen to me.
39:00This gets done tomorrow.
39:03No emotion, no mess.
39:06Johnny made himself a target, and now we will take the shot.
39:11Clean.
39:13Quiet.
39:13I'm in it.
39:14I'm in it.
39:16I'm in it.
39:17I'm in it.
