00:04I was fast.
00:06Would you forget your keys?
00:10Joy.
00:12Hey, Alex.
00:15Hi, this is a surprise.
00:19What are you doing here?
00:22Um, I actually wanted to introduce you to somebody.
00:53Oh, hey, Liam.
00:55Hmm, Ori?
00:57Are you looking for a book?
01:00Uh, no, no.
01:01I work here now.
01:01It's my first day.
01:04That's right.
01:04You had an interview with Julie a few weeks ago.
01:07You got the job, obviously.
01:09Yeah, yeah, I did.
01:11That's great, Liam.
01:12Congrats.
01:14So I guess you'll be seeing a lot of me for the next couple of days.
01:19I mean, I do have finals coming up, and this is kind of my study spot.
01:26Well, then I'll let you get to it.
01:45You wanted to see me?
01:48I always want to see you.
01:52Yeah, I...
01:54Business before pleasure.
01:58Please have a seat, Mr. Hernandez.
02:02Of course, Mr. Kariakas.
02:15Titan's proposal to handle Gabby Sheik's expanded international distribution.
02:21Hmm.
02:22Thank you for putting this together so quickly.
02:27I hope our offer is satisfactory.
02:32Hmm.
02:34You said Xander.
02:36Excuse me.
02:38Your co-CEO is on his way to Chicago for a meeting?
02:43He is.
02:44Why do you ask?
02:47I'm just wondering how far you'll go to satisfy clients.
03:00Is there any wiggle room
03:06in your business before pleasure policy?
03:15That is totally open to negotiation.
03:21Well, I do have a few demands.
03:27Oh, I'm sure I can deliver.
03:49Not bad for a first shot.
03:51Not bad at all.
04:07Who's this cutie?
04:09This is Kelsey.
04:13It's my daughter.
04:16You have a daughter.
04:20Wow.
04:23Lots changed in awe.
04:26How long has it been?
04:27Been a little over a year.
04:32Look, I'm sure you already know where this is going.
04:36So I'm just going to come out and say it.
04:41Kelsey, she is actually, um, she's our daughter.
05:07Like sand through the hourglass,
05:10so are the days of our lives.
05:24Okay.
05:25I know there was a lot of gun safety information I laid on you.
05:30Do you have any questions?
05:32No.
05:33No.
05:34You explained everything really well, actually.
05:35All right.
05:36Isn't he a great teacher?
05:37Yeah.
05:38He's pretty good.
05:39And thanks for letting me join you.
05:42I didn't want to slow you guys down,
05:44and I know you probably went over all that stuff earlier.
05:46No, trust me.
05:47I appreciate the recap.
05:49I don't want to forget any of Papa's tips.
05:52You know, Steph, I, um,
05:54I think this is really cool that you're doing this.
05:57I'm just trying to sleep better at night.
06:00And, hey, it's really cool that you're doing this, too.
06:02We're all really happy that you're joining Black Patch.
06:06I'm excited about it.
06:07I really am.
06:08I'm nervous, though.
06:10No.
06:10But the practice helps.
06:12Yeah.
06:12Well, that's how we shake those nerves.
06:14We practice.
06:16All right?
06:16That's why we're here.
06:17All right.
06:19You know, I learn better when I'm competing against someone.
06:24Papa, maybe you could keep score?
06:27What is that, Brady?
06:29You up for that?
06:30Yeah.
06:31Yeah.
06:31I'm not.
06:32Yeah, let's do this.
06:34Let's do it.
06:35All right.
06:51Oh, Ari.
06:53Hey.
06:55It's been so long since I've seen you.
06:58So the rumors are true.
07:00Oh, Ursula finally gave you your voice back.
07:03Oh, yeah.
07:05Uh, is Holly here?
07:08Nope.
07:11Do you know where she is?
07:13Why, Sophia?
07:15Were you planning to drug her again?
07:21You seriously thought she didn't tell me about that?
07:26I know that Holly has been saying all of this stuff about me, but I did not try to stay
07:34the hell away from Holly.
07:36I know that very.
07:43I know that you have been saying that.
09:52What do you mean, our daughter?
09:58Do you remember how before I left, I thought I was pregnant, and so I took a test?
10:02Of course, I remember, Joy.
10:04Stephanie and I were there with you when you got the test results.
10:06You said they were negative.
10:08Yes.
10:09And about that...
10:13I lied.
10:14Clearly.
10:16Why would you do that?
10:18Why would you lie to us?
10:19Because you and Stephanie had just gotten back together.
10:23I wasn't going to be the pathetic loser standing between you and your happiness.
10:27So you just decided to just pretend that everything was okay?
10:32You take off?
10:34It wasn't an easy decision, Alex.
10:37I went back and forth a thousand times on if I should tell you.
10:41Really?
10:42Yes.
10:44Yes.
10:44Yes.
10:45Yes.
10:45And before I left, I almost fessed up.
10:48But I couldn't help but think about how relieved you were when I told you it was a false alarm.
10:54Pretty sure the first words out of your mouth were, thank God.
10:57So, yeah, I assumed you didn't want the baby.
11:02And after growing up feeling like a kid who wasn't wanted, except for her bone marrow, I wasn't going to
11:10do that to Kelsey.
11:16Okay.
11:18Joy, no offense.
11:21I haven't seen you.
11:22I haven't heard from you in over a year.
11:25And you show up at my doorstep admitting to me that you were very dishonest about something huge.
11:35I am admitting that, yes.
11:40So if you were okay with being dishonest with me then, maybe you're being dishonest with me right now.
11:51How do I know?
11:51How do I know for sure that this baby is mine?
12:12Oh, look at that.
12:15Whoa, way to go, dude.
12:18Thanks, man.
12:20You're up, Stephanie.
12:21Come here.
13:15I had it earlier.
13:17You saw me almost hit that target, dead centered.
13:19Somehow, I'm getting worse.
13:20No, no, no.
13:21Come on.
13:21Don't beat yourself up.
13:23You just started.
13:24You're still learning.
13:25Steph, a couple more rounds.
13:27Come on.
13:27You'll get your groove back.
13:29I don't think so.
13:30I'm done.
13:31No.
13:31No.
13:32No.
13:32Don't say that.
13:34Listen.
13:35I was watching you in there, and you looked distracted.
13:39So remember what I told you?
13:41Control your breath.
13:44Concentrate.
13:45Visualize the bullet hitting the target.
13:48Then pull the trigger.
13:50Come on.
13:51Let's try again.
14:00Xander should take meetings in Chicago more often.
14:14It's the best we can do.
14:17But it's not good enough, is it?
14:21Tamera's offer would keep my costs a lot lower.
14:30Look, we'd obviously love to land this contract.
14:34But that really is the best Titan can do.
14:37Or we'd lose money on the deal.
14:39And the way things are right now, we can't afford to do that.
14:45I'm sorry, Gabby.
14:46We really wanted to partner with you on this.
14:50I really wanted to partner with you, too.
14:56Which is why I'm giving the contract to Titan.
15:05I should have known that you would take Holly's side.
15:09I mean, she loses it at a sorority party, and instead of apologizing, she starts a rumor that I drugged
15:16her.
15:17I mean, I guess I made myself the easy target, because I literally couldn't talk.
15:22You can drop the act, Sophia.
15:24You're not fooling anyone.
15:27Okay.
15:29Fine.
15:30Don't believe me.
15:31I know who my real friends are, and they aren't liars and fakes like you and Holly.
15:37And that leaves who?
15:39Tate's kid sister?
15:40No.
15:41You screwed her over, so she hates you now.
15:44Just like everyone else.
15:46Face it.
15:47You have no friends.
15:50And if you want to know why, look in the damn mirror.
15:55You think that you are so much better than me,
15:58but you and Holly and every other girl at Salem High were just one broken condom away from being in
16:05my shoes, too.
16:06Oh, my God.
16:07Would you stop?
16:08You can't blame everything on your pregnancy.
16:11You made revenge porn to stop your college professor from adopting your kid.
16:16You let my cousin think he was your baby daddy because of a stupid crush,
16:21and then you drugged my friend.
16:24You're forgetting about the part where I went to a psychiatric hospital to get help,
16:29and I've only been out for like two days,
16:31so would you guys just stop trying to send me back over the edge, you guys?
16:35There's no one else here.
16:37Did you take your meds today,
16:39or are you using them to poison another girl you're jealous of?
16:45You're such a bitch.
16:48And I can't believe I ever thought you were my friend.
17:04Check your stance.
17:07Your stance.
17:09Alright.
17:12Check your grip.
17:14Good.
17:16That's perfect.
17:18Good baby.
17:19Now, so good.
17:23Good.
17:24Good.
17:27Good.
17:37Good.
17:38Good.
17:49Good.
17:53Good.
17:56Good.
18:01Is there a problem here?
18:03No.
18:04Yes.
18:05Look, if you're causing trouble, I'm going to have to ask you to leave.
18:11what about her i know her and i don't think she's the problem
18:18okay well then i guess i'll just go buy my books elsewhere
18:34thanks yeah just uh just do my job
18:40i was sure you'd take the better offer as i told you yesterday this isn't just about money for me
18:48for one thing i think that damara's offer is only better because they're deliberately trying to
18:54undercut titan when it's down which makes me think that they won't be good business partners
19:00and i see value in choosing titan that goes beyond that
19:06i want to work with you because i know you and i trust you
19:14you love me
19:19true but not relevant here
19:24i just don't want you to feel like
19:28because the two of us are
19:32you have to
19:33i don't
19:37i look could i save a little bit more money if i went with tamara
19:43yes but i don't know what's going on over there i mean theo just walked away for reasons unknown
19:49and now johnny's staying off
19:54you don't think he can handle it
19:58i think he's a rookie who screwed up big time and is now facing a plagiarism lawsuit
20:04and look i like johnny and i want the best for him but i want to partner with an experienced
20:12ceo
20:14someone who will have my back
20:18you're looking at him
20:22but gabby are you sure
20:26yes
20:31titan needs to steal
20:35and i need your help
20:38and
20:41also maybe i owe you
20:45well i gotta say
20:47i am really impressed with the two of you
20:51nice job out there
20:53well like steph said we have a pretty good teacher
20:57hey
20:57did your dad ever take you to the shooting range when you were growing up
21:02uh
21:04a couple times
21:05yeah
21:06but his his his idea of bonding was more throwing the ball around
21:10oh yeah
21:11hmm
21:13well papa tried to take me
21:15but i always thought that i had better things to do
21:18until now
21:21well hey you were you were really cooking
21:24at the end there
21:25well
21:26it helped to imagine owen is the target
21:32part of me wishes that i could put a bullet in him for real so i'd never have to worry
21:35about him coming back
21:38which i wouldn't
21:39obviously
21:42i just hope
21:43that i get to testify against him
21:46well apparently they're doing a psych evaluation on him right now to determine if he's fit
21:51to stand trial
21:53well if he is jada still thinks that his lawyers
21:57are gonna go with the insanity defense
21:59there's no way to defend what that creep did
22:02no
22:03that son of a bitch should have been put away for good seventeen years ago
22:08owen knew what he was doing to me then
22:10and he knew
22:11what he was doing to jeremy and me
22:15delusional or not
22:16he had a plan
22:19but this time
22:20he got caught
22:22and i'm going to make damn sure
22:24that he faces justice
22:28you don't believe me
22:29i didn't say that joy
22:33but this is
22:37it's a lot
22:40i understand
22:43but like i said back then i wasn't with anybody else
22:49still i figured that you would want to do a dna test which we can do right away
22:57but you don't have to
23:00what do you mean
23:03i just mean i'm not forcing you to do anything
23:06i mean kelsey and i are fine and you should only take the test
23:13if you want to be a part of her life
23:20of course i
23:32i missed the birth of my first child
23:36again
23:38i didn't think that
23:40why would you even come back here why would you come back here right now
23:44um
23:46well i heard
23:48through some mutual friends that you were telling people you couldn't wait to start a family
23:54so i i don't know i thought i thought maybe i was wrong
23:56maybe i misjudged the situation and
24:00you would want to get to know your daughter
24:04yeah absolutely
24:07i absolutely would if
24:09there's no i
24:10if
24:11Alex
24:13she's yours
24:20would you like to hold her
24:28yeah
24:31yeah i would
24:41Gabby, no
24:43You don't owe me anything
24:45If you want to go to DiMera
24:46You know, all I meant is that
24:49You've been there for me
24:52And I want to be there for you, too
24:54You are
24:56I've been able to confide in you
24:58Share my feelings with you
25:01But this is business
25:03That's right
25:05It is
25:07And when the merger fell apart
25:08I made a business decision
25:10And chose not to bring Gabby Sheik back to Titan
25:12Why would you?
25:13You hated working for me and Xander
25:17Things have changed
25:19And I wouldn't be working for you
25:20I'd be working with you
25:23And as a way to show that we've turned the page
25:28I'd want to give Titan this contract
25:30Not to mention that I'm now living in the Kyriakos mansion
25:34So I have a vested interest in Titan surviving
25:40In other words, you'd like to keep a roof over your head
25:45Our head
25:47We're in this together, Philip
25:50I'm rooting for you and your family
25:53Look, I'm happy with my decision
25:54But if you're not, you know, we can...
25:56Are you kidding?
25:57I'm thrilled
25:59You have no idea how much this means to Titan
26:03And to me
26:05I think I do
26:08So, I will have the contracts drawn up
26:11No
26:12I'll handle that
26:15And thank you for this
26:17Gabby
26:19I hope I'm able to do something
26:22As meaningful for you
26:25Soon
26:27You don't have to do that
26:29I want to
26:32I want to do whatever I can to bring you peace and happiness
26:37I feel the same way
26:42But we do have to be careful, though
26:44You know, working with your significant other
26:48It can be great
26:50And it can also get dicey
26:53I fully acknowledge that for some couples
26:56This would be a recipe for a complete disaster
26:59But for us
27:02I think it would be fantastic
27:07I gotta go
27:09I have a meeting in the square
27:12Okay
27:13I will see you at home later tonight
27:17And, uh, we could, um, celebrate our partnership
27:27I'm looking forward to it
27:51Could you say the title one more time?
27:56Epistemology, the philosophy of fact versus fiction
27:59Okay, yeah, let me take a look
28:06Oh, no, no, don't worry
28:07If the website says it's in stock
28:08I'm sure we have it
28:09It's, uh, it's my first day
28:10So just give me a minute
28:11Thanks
28:13Do you need some help?
28:14Why is it?
28:15Isn't that obvious?
28:16It's, uh, something for a book called Epistemology
28:18The philosophy of fact versus fiction
28:20Right here
28:21Jeez, right in front of my face
28:22Thank you for your patience, Brian
28:24Yeah, we do have it
28:25And I'll hold it for you
28:27Sure thing
28:27Thank you
28:30You did not have to do that
28:31Well, you clearly had it under control
28:35Right here
28:36Thanks
28:40So, how's your first day going?
28:42Oh, not, not bad
28:44I hope I haven't been distracting you too much
28:47No, no, not at all
28:48I didn't even know you were still here, so
28:51Cool
28:52Well, if you lose any more books in your blind spot
28:56I will be right over there
28:59Studying
29:01Good luck on your test
29:11So, Brady
29:11So, Brady, where are you in the process of getting your P.I. license?
29:16Well, I'm waiting for my background check
29:18Which I should pass
29:20I just have a lot more to do and learn
29:23Before I can consider myself your partner, Steve
29:27All right
29:27Yeah, come on
29:28One step at a time
29:31You know, it's funny, Mike
29:32My son, Tate, is going to start teaching martial arts
29:35Well
29:35I think he should give his dad some lessons, right?
29:38And I can add that to my self-defense skill set, right?
29:41Hey, I'd be down
29:43Great
29:44I'm sure he'd love to expand his client list
29:47Sign me up
29:48All right
29:49Whoa
29:50There's my baby girl's old enthusiasm
29:54Man, I'd love to see that
29:56Maybe I should jump out of a plane every morning
30:02Alex took me skydiving earlier
30:03As a surprise
30:07That's not a good way to start your morning
30:09Get your blood pumping
30:10Yeah
30:10I hadn't been in years
30:12I love it
30:13You know, Stephanie is a licensed skydiver
30:17Did you know that?
30:19Are you kidding me?
30:19No, I didn't know that
30:21Skydiver
30:22Race car driver
30:23And now she's a PR expert
30:26And
30:27A best-selling author
30:29Okay, Papa
30:30Oh, don't, Papa, me
30:31My daughter has so many talents
30:34Yeah, yeah, you got that right
30:36And the list keeps on growing
30:38A natural Marx woman
30:40Soon-to-be martial artist
30:42She's smart
30:44She's strong
30:45She can take care of business
30:48Any number of ways
30:50So watch out, world
30:52Don't mess with Stephanie K. Johnson
31:05My goodness
31:06Oh, my goodness
31:13Hi
31:16Kelsey
31:20Oh, my God
31:25Wow, look at those eyes
31:28You are wide awake, aren't you?
31:33Look at you
31:36Is that a little smile?
31:40A little one, maybe
31:46My God

31:51A beauty

32:27Well
32:29Sounds like you and Alex
32:30Are doing better
32:32We are
32:34I'm glad to hear it
32:38You know, Papa
32:39You don't have to stick around
32:40I know
32:41You're busy
32:42With Black Patch
32:43Yeah, I can hang
32:44A little while longer
32:45No
32:48I'm fine
32:50I actually slept
32:51Really well last night
32:52For the first time
32:53Since
32:54It happened
32:56I told Alex
32:57It's because I'm
32:57Doing something proactive
32:59To take control
33:00Of my life
33:02Learning to
33:03Fight back
33:04If I need to
33:06It really helps
33:13I'm so proud of you
33:16You know that, don't you?
33:21Okay
33:31Now, remember
33:34You, uh
33:35Put that
33:36Unloaded gun
33:37In the safe
33:38Away from the ammo
33:39And get home
33:40Yep
33:41Will do
33:56Where do we go
33:57From here?
34:00That's up to you
34:06I gotta talk to
34:07Stephanie
34:11We're married now
34:13Yeah
34:15I, uh
34:17Clocked the ring
34:18Congrats
34:22Joy, about what you said before
34:24About wanting to keep the pregnancy
34:26A secret
34:28Because you didn't want to come in between
34:29Stephanie and me
34:30I didn't
34:32I still
34:34Don't
34:35I hope so
34:40I do want you to know
34:43I'm glad you came back
34:48I'm really sorry
34:50That you had to go through this alone
34:54It's not your fault
34:57I wish I had told you
34:59From the beginning
35:01I wish you had to
35:04And I wasn't
35:05Alone
35:07My mom was there
35:08She was at
35:09Every doctor's appointment
35:11She was in the delivery room
35:14After every contraction
35:15I had
35:16She was sure to tell me
35:17About all the animals
35:18Who have it much worse
35:19Giving birth
35:19Than humans
35:22The nurses loved her
35:23So
35:28Anyways
35:29We should, um
35:30We should get going
35:32And again
35:33No pressure
35:34Uh
35:35With the DNA test
35:36So
35:37Just let me know
35:39We're staying at the Salem Inn
35:40So
35:44Okay
35:49And take care, Joy
35:51Yeah
35:53Bye, Kelsey
36:05Bye
36:07Bye
36:07Bye
36:09Bye
36:40Thanks for meeting me.
36:43No problem.
36:45Well, it's a question about Basic Black.
36:50The plan moving forward is to have Marlena move into a leadership position with the help of your mother.
36:59However, it hit a snag when Marlena found out that Johnny thinks that your mother set him up to hit
37:08him with a plagiarism lawsuit.
37:12I knew nothing about that.
37:15My point, Philip, is Marlena wants to work there.
37:18She just doesn't want to work with Kate because she doesn't trust her any longer.
37:22And Xander, the classy guy that he is, told Marlena that she needs to work with Kate, but she can't
37:28work there at all.
37:32Well, and your question is, Philip, speak to Xander and get him to back off.
37:40Well, I know Holly and Ari's stupid dorm has their own social media feed.
37:46Let's see.
37:48Badger Hall 29.
37:51Here we go.
37:54Username.
37:57Lily.
37:57Lily.
37:58My parents almost named me Lily.
38:01But, Lily what?
38:07Lattes.
38:09Lily loves lattes.
38:14Great.
38:15Now, Lily can start posting.
38:30Hopefully, they'll take the bait.
38:56Li ha.
38:59Oh, well, fancy seeing you here.
39:02Hi, Mom.
39:03You getting some studying done?
39:05Trying to, but there are a lot more distractions here than you'd think.
39:09Okay, I will take the hint.
39:12No, I didn't mean you.
39:15So, are you here to shop?
39:17I am.
39:18The new Agatha Christie biography just came out, and so, you know, I wanted to...
39:25Oh, okay.
39:27I can see what the distraction is.
39:31Gage!
39:33Hey!
39:34I didn't know you worked here.
39:37I'm Ari's mom, remember?
39:39Come on over.
39:40I don't mind.
39:43I know that you've seen me go all mama bear, but I don't do that very often.
39:57Liam?
40:01I, um, I thought that you said your name was Gage.
40:07What's going on here?
40:20Liam is his first name, but he goes by his middle name.
40:23No, no, no.
40:23I know who you are.
40:25You're Liam Saleko.
40:29You got shot because you got mixed up in helping kidnap the Tamaris.
40:33What?
40:33No, no.
40:34I had nothing to do with the kidnapping.
40:36When I asked you at the pub the other night if you were upset about Gage, you had no idea
40:40who I was talking about.
40:41I had to remind you that he was the boy from your dorm room.
40:47You lied to me.
40:50Non-traditional student in my ass, Liam was hiding from the police.
40:54You stay away from my daughter.
40:56Do you hear me?
40:57Mama?
40:57Look, I...
40:58Stay away.
41:01Don't worry.
41:03I...
41:03I will.
41:06I will.
41:10I will.
41:19I will.
41:22I will.
41:25I will.
41:28I will.
41:30I will.
41:32I will.
41:33I will.
41:33I will.
41:35I will.
41:36I will.
41:38I will.
41:38I will.
41:39I will.
41:39I will.
41:40I will.
42:39Honestly, my mother is not the easiest person to work with.
42:44But she founded Basic Black with John.
42:46She knows fashion. She knows business.
42:48She's the best person.
42:50You're not going to talk to Xander, are you?
42:51I'm telling you, he's not going to budge on this.
42:57Tell Marlena to take the deal.
43:00You expect her to work with someone she doesn't trust?
43:02Philip, come on.
43:04At least that way she can retain control.
43:07Otherwise, Basic Black could be sold off.
43:10Or worse, it could fold.
43:15I'd hate to see that happen, Brady.
43:19Right now, everyone at Titan is making tough choices.
43:24I know it's not ideal, but if you want to save your dad's company, this is what you have to
43:30do.
43:46Hey, you.
43:51How was the shooting range?
43:53Oh, it was really fun, actually.
43:57And I think I'm getting king of it.
44:03And Alex?
44:05Yeah?
44:07We jumped out of a plane today.
44:10Right.
44:12Oh, what did you forget?
44:18Well, I hope we didn't forget about our other plans.
44:32Are you okay?
44:43You might want to sit down for this.
45:14You might want to sit down for a while, but I don't want to sit down for a while, but
45:22I don't want to sit down for a while.
45:30So, if I just found out, um, that I think, I think I'm, or at least I'm pretty sure, uh,
45:40I found out that I have a daughter.
45:56You were right.
45:58He even wanted to hold her.
46:01He looked so happy when he did.
46:06Told you would be.
46:21He looked so happy when he was.
