00:25you that's really sweet but i'm not really hungry and i've got so much work i've got to catch up
00:33on
00:34steph i think you're allowed to take a break for dinner
00:39in fact you're allowed to take it easy altogether after what you've been through
00:46i'm fine i just need to focus
00:57so
00:58Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
01:33Oh, no, it's okay.
01:34I was just trying to relax.
01:38It's a very, very long day.
01:40Gabby?
01:41Sarah?
01:48So is there something that I can help you with?
01:51If you're looking for my mom, she's still at the office.
01:55Yeah, I was just there.
01:58Maggie didn't tell you.
02:03Tell me what?
02:07I'm moving back in with Gabby.
02:18Katie?
02:20Hey.
02:21Well, I'm delighted to see you.
02:24Were you afraid I was going to cancel on you again?
02:26Well, no, maybe a little.
02:28A little.
02:29But I know that you've been very busy this week.
02:33Yeah.
02:34It's got a hectic time, hasn't it?
02:37I'm so sorry that Rachel had to go back to bathe you.
02:42I know we thought she was doing so much better.
02:45But you know what?
02:46Now we know she'll be getting the help that she so badly needs.
02:50I know.
02:51It's difficult, though.
02:52We can't step in and fix things for our children, our grandchildren.
02:59That's something that I was going to discuss with you.
03:03Oh.
03:06Can you tell me what's going on at Titan?
03:13Maggie?
03:15I was just heading out.
03:17Oh, well, no.
03:18You're not heading out.
03:19Not just yet.
03:19Not until I get some answers.
03:21Uh, why?
03:24Is there a problem?
03:25You're damn right there's a problem.
03:28How dare you and Kate file a lawsuit against Johnny without telling me?
03:33But then I know why.
03:35You went behind my back because you knew I would be outraged.
03:40And you knew that I would call you on the ugliness of it.
03:43And you knew that I wouldn't, that I wouldn't tell you that I wasn't going to approve of it.
03:50And that's why you didn't tell me, isn't it?
04:04Like sand through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.
04:21By what's going on at Titan, I assume you mean the situation with Johnny?
04:29No.
04:31I didn't.
04:34What's going on with Johnny?
04:43I wanted to stop by.
04:45Is this a bad time?
04:46No, not at all.
04:48These are for you.
04:51They're beautiful.
04:54I'm just, I'm just glad you're okay.
04:59So, uh, were you just coming back from the office?
05:05Yes.
05:06Yes, I was.
05:07Yeah.
05:07You must be almost all done with the mirror, huh?
05:10I heard Theo was coming back.
05:11So, does that mean you're going to be rejoining us at Titan?
05:14No.
05:16No, it doesn't.
05:17What?
05:18You're not coming back?
05:19Look, we don't have to talk about all that right now.
05:23I just, uh, I, I, I, I actually, I came by, Steph, because I owe you a huge apology.
05:35Uh, well, welcome home, I guess.
05:43Thanks.
05:46We'll do our best to stay out of your way.
05:52I didn't realize that you two were...
05:56cohabitating.
05:57It's new.
05:59It's new.
05:59Very new.
06:01As and like right now.
06:03Huh.
06:04Uh, well, congratulations.
06:09Uh, things seem to be going well for you two.
06:14They are.
06:16So, we decided it was time to take the next step.
06:21Well, good for you.
06:24I just, um, I didn't think you would want to come back here, Phillip.
06:31Given what happened last time.
06:35Well, I'm optimistic it'll go a lot better this time.
06:39Hope springs eternal.
06:41Right?
06:42And hey, your mom was cool with it.
06:46Uh-huh.
06:48And Xander?
06:51How did he react?
06:55Haven't told him yet.
06:58Huh.
07:00This was really just a legal issue, Maggie.
07:04I mean, as soon as we discovered that Bonnie's One Rainy Afternoon was a clear-cut case of plagiarism, right?
07:10He vowed a lawsuit just like that.
07:13Well, we can let it slide.
07:15Surely you understand us wanting to block publication of Bonnie's apparent fraud of a book.
07:20No, I can't.
07:22Because Johnny was the object, wasn't he?
07:26He was a valued-tight employee.
07:28On loan to DeMera, which was always a risky proposition given his divided loyalties.
07:34So you only hired him because you were hell-bent on sticking it to E.J.
07:39And because I had faith in his abilities.
07:42Hmm.
07:43You are aware that he believes that this was a set-up, right?
07:47That you would have him publish Bonnie's book.
07:50And then you would go in and sue DeMera for plagiarism.
07:56I'm aware that's his claim, yes.
08:00Well, is it true?
08:08I promise.
08:09I mean, if I knew that Bonnie's book was basically just a copy of yours, I never would have bought
08:15the rights.
08:16And I'll admit, you know, some of it was, you know, due to, in part, to my ego.
08:23I wanted to leave my mark on DeMera before I went back to Titan.
08:29And I really am sorry, Steph.
08:33Especially because now there's this lawsuit that I'm sure you're going to be dragged into.
08:38And after everything you've been through, it's just...
08:43I appreciate your apology, Johnny.
08:46But I'll be okay.
08:49Just know that I am going to protect you in any way that I can.
08:53And I will not let this affect your writing career.
08:58It doesn't matter.
08:59I don't have a writing career anymore.
09:07So, I don't think Johnny's going to be returning to Titan.
09:15Why not?
09:16Well, I'm going to let him explain that to you, but...
09:19You know, I was thinking Titan is barely staying afloat.
09:23Maybe it's better that he stays at DeMera.
09:27So, he would still stay there even after Theo comes back?
09:32Oh, I don't know.
09:34Maybe I got that wrong.
09:35Like I said, you should really talk to him.
09:37I will.
09:40So, anyway, what was the situation at Titan that you wanted to talk about?
09:45Well, Brady is leaving Basic Black.
09:49Oh, yes, yes, of course.
09:52And, of course, that's important.
09:54But, um, we want to make sure that Basic Black stays in the family.
10:01Yeah.
10:01Well, that's understandable.
10:03I mean, the company meant so much to John.
10:08Yeah.
10:11And, I'll be enough, they have asked me to, uh, kind of step into the business.
10:16What?
10:17Wow.
10:18Are you going to give up your practice?
10:20No, no, no, no.
10:21I would just be consulting.
10:24That's all.
10:25I know that you and John created the business.
10:30So.
10:33So?
10:36I was wondering if you would like to step in and help me run Basic Black.
10:47So, your brother doesn't know you're moving in here?
10:54Hey, I'm not hiding it from him.
10:56I'd just rather not have him stomp all over my good news.
10:59Translation, you're not going out of your way to poke the bear.
11:01Look, it's not my fault Xander's not welcome in the family abode.
11:07If you say so.
11:11I thought you said that you and Xander were getting along again.
11:16We are.
11:19Most of the time.
11:21Well, let's just hope that when Xander does find out, the old Xander doesn't make a comeback.
11:32I'm sure it's much easier for Johnny to blame Kate and me than to acknowledge his incompetence.
11:37No, it's not about incompetence.
11:39See, I think that you and Kate, knowing that Johnny was a bit naive, came up with his plan to
11:45exploit that.
11:46I'm not sure, yeah.
11:48Oh, no?
11:51According to Johnny, that manuscript was left in the location where he would be sure to see it.
11:56And Kate gave her her blessings, sight unseen.
12:00And you expect me to believe that that was just happenstance?
12:05You can believe whatever you want, I need it.
12:07Oh, well, this is what I'm going to tell you, is that if you and Kate did set up Johnny
12:14to go down for this, you crossed the line.
12:19Not just how you treated him, but how it affects Stephanie and Bonnie.
12:25Sorry, Bonnie?
12:26I'm supposed to feel sympathy for Bonnie after she plagiarized Stephanie's work?
12:31Bonnie has family.
12:34And that's not how we conduct business.
12:36That's not how I conduct business.
12:38And that is exactly why you aren't fit to run this company, Maggie.
12:43You have neither the grit or the guts to keep Titan afloat.
12:55So you want us to run basic luck?
12:59Me and you.
13:01Is that a crazy idea?
13:05No.
13:06I mean, I'm flattered.
13:08But I know that the publishing division keeps you very busy.
13:12You know, actually, actually, I'm honest.
13:15I could find a way to work that out.
13:19Really?
13:20Really?
13:21I would love to work with you.
13:24That makes me so happy.
13:27Shall we toast?
13:30To our partnership?
13:31Yes.
13:32To our partnership.
13:41You don't want to write anymore?
13:45It was fun while it lasted.
13:47But every chapter's got to come to an end, right?
13:51I just thought you promised Kate.
13:53Kate will understand.
13:55She'll have to.
14:01You know, I should probably get going.
14:04I promise you now I'd pick up dinner.
14:06Oh, well, thank you for stopping by, Johnny, and for the beautiful flowers.
14:10Of course.
14:10I'm glad you're feeling better.
14:13And then, seriously, don't beat yourself up about the book, okay?
14:18Yeah, I'll, uh...
14:19I'll try.
14:20Um, take care, Stephan.
14:23It's good to see you, Alex.
14:24Yeah, we'll see you, Johnny.
14:36That's it?
14:38You don't want to write?
14:40Ever again?
14:44Maybe someday I'll get back to it.
14:47But right now,
14:51the idea of telling someone else's love story,
14:56digging into that emotion,
15:00the joy,
15:01and the pain,
15:05I just can't do it anymore.
15:12If you're worried about Xander doing something violent...
15:15Of course I'm worried about Xander doing something violent.
15:18But you know how hard he's worked on his anger issues.
15:20The therapy with Marlena...
15:21And I also know that he is one setback away from going back to square one.
15:29Listen, I know I'm not a member of this family,
15:31and Lord knows that I've had my issues with Xander,
15:33but I think you should give him the benefit of the doubt.
15:37I mean, he's moving on from what I've heard.
15:41He's in a new relationship, right?
15:42With Gwen.
15:45I don't think anybody's putting that in a positive column.
15:48I'm just saying,
15:50uh, you know,
15:51I'm sure he's got more important things to worry about
15:53than where Philip is living in the phone.
15:55Maybe he won't care at all.
15:56Or maybe you two have blinders on,
15:59and he'll go completely ballistic
16:00and turn this entire house into a war zone.
16:04After I found out that you had assaulted Philip,
16:06I made it perfectly clear you could be CEO with a name only.
16:10But then I watched you slowly regain power.
16:14And I foolishly let it happen
16:17because of the state the company was in.
16:21But let's be honest, Maggie.
16:22I mean,
16:23you couldn't have stopped me even if you wanted to.
16:25Are you sure about that?
16:32I didn't have to keep the secret.
16:34I could have gone public.
16:37And if they would have found out what you did to Philip,
16:40you would have been...
16:43You would have been out.
16:45I suppose that's true, isn't it?
16:47Isn't it?
16:48It's so true that you'd be bringing down Titan if you did that.
16:51Because everything would come out.
16:54How Philip used that forged letter to worm his way back to the top.
16:57How you and Sarah covered it all up.
17:01Tell me, Maggie.
17:03Am I right about that?
17:05They were all complicit.
17:09So I guess we're at a standoff.
17:12Neither of us wants to be responsible for Victor's company going belly up.
17:17But you're all out of moves, Maggie.
17:20Not that you really had any to begin with.
17:22Oh, I see where this is going.
17:26You thought because Sarah gave you visitation rights,
17:31that you didn't have to play nice with the family anymore.
17:34I'm the only one doing what's necessary for this family.
17:39I can't think you would understand.
17:40The hell he would.
17:43He would see that you're deluding yourself.
17:46And how exactly am I doing that?
17:48Well, isn't it perfectly obvious?
17:50I mean, you thought that Demira would settle this lawsuit with a quick payout.
17:55So you would be back in the black.
17:58But John refused to sell.
17:59So now we missed the deadline on the last payment.
18:04So everything you did is just for naught.
18:09But don't worry, Maggie.
18:11I already made that payment.
18:15What?
18:17How?
18:23I liquidated a few assets and found the cash I needed to make the payment.
18:27What assets?
18:28I sold a few of our giant crawler cranes that are just sitting on the docks down in South America.
18:36And when did you do that?
18:38Oh, about a week ago, I think.
18:42I'm assuming you have the bill of sale for those cranes.
18:47Who the buyers were and the asking price.
18:50What are you so worried about, Maggie?
18:53It was only up and up.
18:56The hell it was.
19:00You're lying.
19:03Are you disappointed in me?
19:06For giving up writing?
19:12I could never be disappointed in you.
19:15But I know that Titan was expecting a bestseller.
19:19And I want to help.
19:20I just...
19:22I can't.
19:23Stephanie, the last thing that you need to worry about is Titan.
19:30But I know that things are tough over there.
19:32And now with this lawsuit, Alex, I'm letting you down.
19:36You're not letting me down.
19:37I'll be fine.
19:39We will be fine.
19:42Are you sure?
19:52I almost lost you, Steph.
19:57The only thing that matters to me is that you are home and safe.
20:04And it's all that matters.
20:22Okay.
20:23So you two gossiping about me behind my back?
20:26Well, um, we could do it to your face if you'd prefer.
20:29I'll pass.
20:30I'll pass.
20:31Ignorance is good.
20:32Yes.
20:33Oh, you know, we've finished supper.
20:35What would you like to join us for dessert?
20:38I don't mind if I do.
20:40Are we celebrating something?
20:42Oh, join us.
20:45Johnny, join us.
20:49Hey, Grandma.
20:51Grandpa.
20:52How's it going, grandson?
20:54Oh.
20:55You know.
20:58Kate said that you might be leaving Titan.
21:01Yes.
21:02Did she happen to tell you why?
21:10Well, I'm going to go check on Victoria, so let Henderson know if you need anything.
21:18We will.
21:21Sarah, hang on.
21:26Since we're going to be living under the same roof again, I want to start things out on the right
21:31foot this time.
21:35What I said earlier about it not being my fault, Xander's no longer allowed to live here.
21:40I know that wasn't true.
21:41Of course it's my fault.
21:44We don't need to get into this now.
21:48It's okay.
21:50Gabby knows all about the forged letter.
21:54What?
21:57Philip told me everything.
22:01Gabby and I don't have secrets from each other.
22:03Oh.
22:04That's nice and honesty packed.
22:05Too bad discretion couldn't have made the cut.
22:09Sorry you're offended by my being transparent with my girlfriend, but I happen to believe, and I thought you did
22:18too, Sarah, that when you're committed to each other, you're also committed to being completely honest, to sharing everything.
22:30It's the only way it's the only way it can work.
22:33Right, Gabby?
22:36Right.
22:38Definitely.
22:45Do you know how I know you're lying?
22:49I looked into selling those cranes a few weeks ago.
22:55And I was told they were locked into contracts with the docs, and it would cost a whole lot more
23:02to break those contracts than the sales price.
23:06How do you research on you?
23:08How do you research on you?
23:39How do you research on you in an event?
23:47How do you research on you?
23:49me. Word of advice, May. Don't ask questions if you don't really want to know the answers.
24:03Obviously, there were things about the business of Victor. He didn't want to know about things
24:08that he kept away from me. And he was right to do that. He kept your hands clean.
24:17Does Philip know what you did? Who says I did anything? Don't play coy. You made a huge
24:27mistake by laundering money through Titan, especially considering the state that Titan
24:34is in already. I did what I had to do to save Victor's company, not to mention your house
24:41and all your fruity things. You know what? You just have a nice day, Maggie. Xander.
24:51No more. You hear me?
24:55If it takes this to save Titan, maybe, maybe it isn't worth saving.
25:23You know, why don't I wrap this up and put it in the fridge and save it for later?
25:28Thanks.
25:31I'll probably get hungry at, like, 3 a.m. when I can't sleep.
25:53Steph, you know we're in this together, right?
26:02You wake up in the middle of the night if you can't sleep.
26:06You feel alone or afraid.
26:10You wake me up.
26:12All right.
26:15Because you're not alone.
26:18I know that I'm right here, and I'm always going to be right here.
26:22I'm not going anywhere.
26:26I know that.
26:32I just want to do whatever I can to make you feel safe again.
26:41That's part of the problem.
26:46I hate being a victim again.
26:49I hate feeling afraid all the time.
26:58In my mind, I know that the threat is over, but...
27:04I get it.
27:07After what this maniac did to you, Steph, I know it's hard for you to trust that something
27:13like this could never happen again.
27:22If it's not Owen, then who or what is it going to be next?
27:28I know it's hard to believe right now, but I promise you, I am going to keep you safe.
27:33I promise.
27:41I know you mean that.
27:46I love you for saying it.
27:54You promised that before.
28:00And it wasn't enough.
28:10Kate was leaving it to you to explain why you resigned?
28:16John, what's this all about?
28:21Titan is suing DiMera Enterprises because of something I did.
28:27What'd you do?
28:29Well, they're suing us for plagiarism, saying that the book we're about to publish, Bonnie's
28:38book is a rip-off of Stephanie's.
28:44Then why are they suing you?
28:48Well, I brought the manuscript to DiMera.
28:52I authorized the purchase, so it is my fault.
28:56And Kate advised me to settle the lawsuit.
29:01But I'm not going to.
29:03Kate, why am I just learning about this?
29:09I hate to be the one to tell you this, Grandpa, but she set me up.
29:22Well, I wish you two luck.
29:25Like I said, let the staff know if you need any help moving in.
29:29We will.
29:36Phillip, you should know that Xander is going to be here any minute.
29:39He's coming to read Victoria's bedtime story.
29:43I'm assuming you'd rather wait for him to find out I'm living here.
29:47That's up to you.
29:47It's not really my call to make, is it?
29:49I just ask that you be thoughtful about it as to not set him off.
29:55Well, we'll get out of your way.
29:58I'll keep you posted when I decide to break the news.
30:01Please do.
30:04Have a good night, sir.
30:05Mm-hmm.
30:24Gabby, Phillip, what's going on?
30:33We're moving into the house.
30:38With Maggie's permission, of course.
30:41You...
30:42I'm Gabby moving in.
30:44That's right.
30:47Does that upset you?
30:51Well, I can see from the grim expressions on all your faces that you certainly assumed it would.
30:56Oh, I certainly consider the possibility.
30:59While I appreciate that I still loom large in all your minds, I don't live here anymore.
31:05My opinion doesn't matter.
31:07Although, one word of advice?
31:11Avoid the sourdough at breakfast.
31:13Henderson always puts in the toaster too soon, so by the time it gets to you, it's cold and dry.
31:19We will.
31:20Thanks for letting us know.
31:26Okay.
31:26We're going to head up to our room and get settled.
31:29I'm sure you're eager to see Victoria.
31:32Give my niece a kiss for me.
31:42Is Victoria already upstairs with the nanny?
31:44Yeah, yeah, yeah.
31:45She's with Fran.
31:46I know she'll be excited to see you.
31:49Uh, Xander.
31:53I am...
31:54I'm really sorry.
31:56I misjudged your reaction.
31:59I'm actually very impressed.
32:02It's like I said, I don't live here anymore.
32:07So my opinion doesn't matter.
32:09However, I do find it interesting who Maggie decides to dole out forgiveness to.
32:21This is Kate Roberts.
32:23Leave a message.
32:27Kate, don't ignore me.
32:30I just had a conversation with Xander.
32:32And I am appalled by what is going on with this company.
32:41So it turns out that Kate and Xander knew all along the book can be considered derivative.
32:49Is Jerry right, Kate?
32:51Did you deliberately set him up to buy Bonnie's book, knowing it was pleasant?
32:58No.
32:59Of course I didn't.
33:01And I told him that.
33:03And actually, Roman, I kind of resent you, assuming the worst of me when I can explain everything.
33:12I'm waiting.
33:16Sorry.
33:17Excuse me.
33:18Johnny, we'll talk to you about that person.
33:21Yeah, sure.
33:32Look, I'm really sorry that Johnny feels this way.
33:36But I did nothing unethical.
33:38Well, per company policy, I never read that manuscript.
33:44And I thought I was doing Johnny a favor when I gave him my blessings to publish it.
33:51I did not set him up.
33:54I sure as hell hope not.
33:59You're staying with Demira?
34:03Uh, I haven't given Theo my official answer yet, but he's resigning, so...
34:11Why would he do that?
34:13I don't know.
34:14Said it was personal.
34:16Hmm.
34:18And you're staying on as CEO?
34:21I'd like to stick around, clean up the mess I made.
34:24In spite of everything, I feel like Demira needs me right now.
34:29Hmm.
34:29And what does your wife say?
34:34I haven't told her yet.
34:37Oh.
34:40You remember what happened when you decided on your own not to adopt Trey.
34:49I'm thinking maybe you should talk to her.
34:51I know.
34:52I know.
34:52And I...
34:53I will.
34:54I'm not going to make the same mistake twice.
34:56And she does know about the lawsuit, so...
34:58Oh, that's a good start.
35:03Just...
35:04What if she's not okay with me wanting to stay?
35:10Well...
35:11You'll just have to figure that out, I guess.
35:19I gotta say...
35:20I like this place a whole lot better than the Demira pilot bricks.
35:25Because you get to be here with me.
35:27Well, that is the main reason.
35:30Also helps that E.J. doesn't live here.
35:34Wish I could say Shade Kiriakis is drama-free, but...
35:38At least, no one's been shot here.
35:42Not recently, anyway.
35:45Well, I guess the bar is up pretty low.
35:48Kinda.
35:51So...
35:53How should we celebrate our first night in this house of sunshine and rainbows?
36:00Hmm...
36:01I was thinking...
36:04Maybe, uh...
36:05Popcorn in a movie?
36:07Maybe.
36:09I mean, that sounds fine.
36:11Hmm?
36:13You have a better idea?
36:16I might.
36:18Yeah?
36:19Yeah?
36:24Yeah.
36:26Yeah.
36:30Yeah.
36:34Yeah.
36:35Yeah.
36:36Yeah.
36:38Yeah.
36:46Yeah.
36:50Yeah.
36:53Yeah.
36:55Yeah.
36:57Yeah.
36:58Yeah.
36:59Yeah.
37:01Yeah.
37:01Yeah.
37:02Yeah.
37:03Yeah.
37:04Yeah.
37:04Yeah.
37:04Yeah.
37:05Yeah.
37:05Yeah.
37:05Yeah.
38:07That's just it. There's nothing that you can do that you haven't already done.
38:15We had police guarding our apartment.
38:18My dad moved in here with us and still Owen got to me.
38:24I can't rely on you or my dad or the cops or anyone else to protect me.
38:31I have to feel confident that I can protect myself.
38:38So what does that mean?
38:42I want to get a gun, Alex.
38:46And I want to learn how to use it.
38:47I want to learn how to use it.
38:50I want to learn how to use it.
38:55I want to learn how to use it.
