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 do you say, Brady?
06:29You up for that?
06:30Yeah, I'm not.
06:31Yeah.
06:32Yeah.
06:33Let'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.
07:00Ursula 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,
07:31but I did not try to stay the hell away from Holly.
07:36Do you know where she is?
07:37Do you know where she is?
07:55Do you know where she is?
07:55Do you know where she is?
07:55Do you know where she is?
07:55Do you know where she is?
07:57Do you know where she is?
08:00Do you know where she is?
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, like, 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.
10:44And 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?
12:09You are a pretty.
12:12Oh, look at that.
12:15Whoa.
12:17Way to go, dude.
12:18Thanks, man.
12:20You're up, Stephanie.
12:22Stephanie.
12:25Stephanie.
12:26Stephanie.
12:26Stephanie.
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, no, no.
13:32Don't say that.
13:34Listen, I 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.
13:47Then pull the trigger.
13:50But come 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?
14:22Tamara'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,
15:12and instead of apologizing, she starts a rumor that I drugged her.
15:17I mean, I guess I made myself the easy target,
15:20because 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,
15:33and they aren't liars and fakes like you and Holly.
15:37And that leaves who?
15:39Tate's kid sister?
15:40No, you 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,
15:53look in the damn mirror.
15:55You think that you are so much better than me,
15:59but you and Holly and every other girl at Salem High
16:02were just one broken condom away from being in my shoes, too.
16:06Oh, my God, would 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.
17:07Stance?
17:09All right.
17:12Check your grip.
17:15Good.
17:16That's perfect.
17:18Good, baby.
17:19Now she'll get it.
17:22Good.
17:30Good.
18:03No. Yes.
18:05Look, if you're causing trouble, I'm going to have to ask you to leave.
18:11What about her?
18:14I know her, and I don't think she's the problem.
18:17Okay. Well, then I guess I'll just go buy my books elsewhere.
18:32Thanks.
18:34Yeah, just do my job.
18:40I was sure you'd take the better offer.
18:43As I told you yesterday, this isn't just about money for me.
18:48For one thing, I think that DiMera's offer is only better because they're deliberately trying to undercut Titan when it's
18:55down, 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.
19:17True.
19:19But not relevant here.
19:24I just don't want you to feel like, because the two of us are, you have to...
19:33I...
19:35I don't...
19:37I...
19:37Look.
19:39Could I save a little bit more money if I went with DiMera?
19:42Yes.
19:44But I don't know what's going on over there.
19:46I mean, Theo just walked away for reasons unknown, and 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.
20:21But, Gabby, are you sure?
20:26Yes.
20:31Titan needs to steal.
20:35And I need your help.
20:39And...
20:41Also, maybe I owe you.
20:45Well, I gotta say, I 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, did your dad ever take you to the shooting range when you were growing up?
21:02Uh, a couple times.
21:05Yeah.
21:06But his idea of bonding was more throwing the ball around.
21:11Oh, yeah.
21:12Hmm.
21:13Well, Papa tried to take me, but I always thought that I had better things to do.
21:18Until now.
21:21Well, hey, you were really cooking at the end there.
21:25Well, it helped to imagine Owen as 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, obviously.
21:42I just hope that 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 to stand trial.
21:53Well, if he is, Jada still thinks that his lawyers are going to go with the insanity defense.
22:00There's no way to defend what that creep did.
22:03No.
22:03That son of a bitch should have been put away for good 17 years ago.
22:08Owen knew what he was doing to me then.
22:10And he knew what he was doing to Jeremy and me.
22:15Delusional or not, he had a plan.
22:19But this time, he got caught.
22:22And I'm going to make damn sure that he faces justice.
22:28You don't believe me?
22:30I 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.
23:01What do you mean?
23:03I just mean I'm not forcing you to do anything.
23:07I 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 miss the birth of my first child.
23:36Again?
23:37I didn't think that you...
23:40Why would you even come back here?
23:42Why would you come back here right now?
23:45Um...
23:46Well, I heard through some mutual friends that you were telling people you couldn't wait to start a family.
23:54So, I don't know.
23:55I thought maybe I was wrong.
23:56Maybe I misjudged the situation, and...
24:00You would want to get to know your daughter.
24:04Absolutely.
24:07I absolutely would.
24:08If she...
24:09There's no if, Alex.
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...
24:47You 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.
24:59Share my feelings with you.
25:01But this is business.
25:03That's right.
25:05It is.
25:07And when the merger fell apart, I made a business decision...
25:10And chose not to bring Gabby Sheik back to Titan.
25:13Why would you?
25:13You hated working for me and Xander.
25:17Things have changed.
25:19And I wouldn't be working for you.
25:21I'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.
25:55But 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, Gabby.
26:18I 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.
26:45You know, working with your significant other...
26:47It can be great.
26:50And it can also get dicey.
26:53I fully acknowledge that for some couples, this would be a recipe for a complete disaster.
26:59But for us, I think it would be fantastic.
27:04Hmm.
27:08I gotta go.
27:09I have a meeting in the square.
27:12Okay.
27:15I will see you at home later tonight.
27:18And, uh...
27:20We could, um...
27:23Celebrate our partnership.
27:27I'm looking forward to it.
27:51Could you say the title one more time?
27:56Epistemology?
27:56The Philosophy of Fact vs. Fiction.
27:59Okay, yeah.
27:59Let me take a look.
28:06Oh, no, no.
28:06Don't worry.
28:07If the website says it's in stock, I'm sure we have it.
28:09It's, uh...
28:10It's my first day, so just give me a minute.
28:12Thanks.
28:13Do you need some help?
28:14Why is it...
28:15Isn't that obvious?
28:16Uh...
28:16Someone's looking for a book called Epistemology?
28:18The Philosophy of Fact vs. 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, and I'll hold it for you.
28:27Sure thing.
28:30You did not have to do that.
28:32Well, 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, I will be right over there, studying.
29:01Good luck on your test.
29:11So, Brady, where are you in the process of getting your P.I. license?
29:16Well, I'm waiting for my background check, which I should pass.
29:20I just have a lot more to do and learn before I can consider myself your partner, Steve.
29:27Right?
29:27Yeah, come on.
29:28One step at a time.
29:30You know what's funny, Mike?
29:32My son Tate is going to start teaching martial arts.
29:35Why?
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.
29:43I'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 as a surprise.
30:07That's not a good way to start your morning and get your blood pumping.
30:10Yeah.
30:11I hadn't been in years.
30:12I love it.
30:13You know, Stephanie is a licensed skydiver.
30:17Did you know that?
30:18Are you kidding me?
30:19No, I didn't know that.
30:21Skydiver, race car driver, and now she's a PR expert and a best-selling author.
30:29Okay, Papa.
30:30Oh, don't know, Papa me.
30:32My daughter has so many talents.
30:34Yeah?
30:34Yeah, yeah, you got that right.
30:36And the list keeps on growing.
30:38A natural Marx woman, soon-to-be martial artist.
30:43She's smart.
30:44She's strong.
30:46She can take care of business any number of ways.
30:50So watch out, world.
30:53Don't mess with Stephanie K. Johnson.
31:04Oh, my goodness.
31:07Oh, my goodness.
31:11Oh, my goodness.
31:14Hi.
31:16Kelsey.
31:20Oh, my God.
31:24Wow.
31:25Look at those eyes.
31:27You are wide awake, aren't you?
31:33Look at you.
31:36Is that a little smile?
31:40A little one, maybe.
31:46Oh, my God.
31:49You are a beauty.
32:05Well, listen, thank you for the lesson today.
32:08I appreciate it.
32:09And for brunch?
32:10You're welcome.
32:12You're heading out?
32:13Yeah, I got a couple things I got to do today,
32:15but I look forward to our next training session.
32:19Yeah, so good to see you.
32:20You too.
32:21Bye.
32:27Well, it sounds like you and Alex are doing better.
32:32We are.
32:34I'm glad to hear it.
32:38You know, Papa, you don't have to stick around.
32:40I know you're busy with Black Patch.
32:44Yeah, I can hang a little while longer.
32:46No, I'm fine.
32:50I actually slept really well last night.
32:52For the first time since it happened.
32:56I told Alex it's because I'm doing something proactive to take control of my life.
33:02Learning to fight back if I need to, it really helps.
33:13I'm so proud of you.
33:16You know that, don't you?
33:21Okay.
33:31Now, remember,
33:34you put that unloaded gun in the safe away from the ammo.
33:39You get home.
33:40Yep.
33:42Will do.
33:56Where do we go from here?
34:00That's up to you.
34:06I got to talk to Stephanie.
34:11We're married now.
34:13Yeah.
34:14I, uh, clocked the ring.
34:18Congrats.
34:22Joy, about what you said before.
34:24About wanting to keep the pregnancy a secret.
34:28Because you didn't want to come in between Stephanie and me.
34:30I didn't.
34:32I still don'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 from the beginning.
35:01I wish you had to.
35:04And I wasn't alone.
35:07My mom was there.
35:08She was at every doctor's appointment.
35:11She was in the delivery room.
35:14After every contraction I had,
35:16she was sure to tell me about all the animals
35:18who have it much worse giving birth than humans.
35:22The nurses loved her.
35:23So.
35:28Anyways, we should, um,
35:30we should get going.
35:32And again, no pressure.
35:34Uh, with the DNA test.
35:36So, just let me know.
35:39We're staying at the Salem Inn.
35:41So.
35:44Okay.
35:49And take care, Joy.
35:51Yeah.
35:58Bye, Kelsey.
36:00Bye, Kelsey.
36:05Bye, Kelsey.
36:40Thanks for meeting me.
36:42No problem.
36:45What's up?
36:47Question.
36:48About Basic Black.
36:50The plan moving forward
36:52was to have Marlena move into a leadership position
36:55with the help of your mother.
36:59However, it hit a snag when Marlena found out
37:04that Johnny thinks that your mother
37:06set him up
37:07to hit him with a plagiarism lawsuit.
37:12I knew nothing about that.
37:15My point, Phillip,
37:16is Marlena wants to work there.
37:18She just doesn't want to work with Kate
37:19because she doesn't trust her any longer.
37:22And Xander,
37:23the classy guy that he is,
37:25told Marlena that she needs to work with Kate
37:27but she can't work there at all.
37:32And your question is,
37:35Phillip,
37:37speak to Xander
37:38and get him to back off.
37:41Well, I know Holly and Ari's stupid dorm
37:44has their own social media feed.
37:46Let's see.
37:48Badger Hall 29.
37:51Here we go.
37:54Username.
37:56Oh, Lily?
37:58My parents almost named me Lily.
38:01But Lily what?
38:07Lattes.
38:09Lily loves lattes.
38:14Great.
38:16Now Lily can start posting.
38:30Hopefully they'll take the bait.
38:38Me.
38:40Me.
38:42Me.
38:58Me.
38:59Me.
39:00Well, 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...
39:26Oh, okay.
39:28I 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 bite.
39:42What?
39:43I know that you've seen me go all mom and 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, I know who you are.
40:25You're Liam Selleco.
40:29You got shot because you got mixed up in helping kidnap the Demers.
40:33What?
40:33No, no, I had nothing to do with the kidnapping.
40:36When I asked you at the pub the other night if you were upset about Gage,
40:40you had no idea who I was talking about.
40:41I had to remind you that he was the boy from your dorm room.
40:47You lied to me.
40:50A non-traditional student in my ass, Liam was hiding from the police.
40:54You stay away from my daughter, do you hear me?
40:56Mama?
40:57Look, I...
40:58Stay away.
41:02Don't worry, I...
41:04I will.
41:10I'll see you next week.
41:18I'll see you next week.
41:27I'll see you next week.
42:16Look, Brady, when it comes to business, my brother and I are a united front.
42:21I don't think it's a good idea.
42:23Don't, don't, don't give her that crap.
42:24Come on, come on.
42:25I'm talking about my late father's company here.
42:29And Titan is my late father's company, your grandfather's company, which Xander and I are desperately trying to keep afloat.
42:36This isn't personal.
42:40Obviously, my mother is not the easiest person to work with.
42:44But she founded Basic Black with John.
42:46She knows fashion.
42:47She 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.
43:03At 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.
43:47Hey, you.
43:48Hey, 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?
44:19Well, I hope we didn't forget about our other plans.
44:32Are you okay?
44:34Okay.
44:43You might want to sit down for this.
44:57Okay.
44:59What is it?
45:00What's wrong?
45:04It's just, um...
45:09It's just what?
45:12Maybe...
45:14Whatever it is, you can...
45:16You can just say it.
45:29It's just what I found out, um...
45:33I think...
45:34I think I'm...
45:35Or at least I'm pretty sure.
45:40Uh...
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 you would be.
46:07Hey, hey, hey.
46:10Hey, hey.
46:11Hey, hey, hey, hey!
