00:05I really thought taking the twins to the aquarium would be a slam dunk.
00:11They're not excited to be going?
00:13Well, Jules is jumping up on the bed thinking she's a jellyfish, but Carver, I guess it turns out he
00:21has a thing with sharks.
00:23Well, I can't say I blame him. Poor little guy.
00:26I'm surprised you didn't hear him screaming from down here.
00:30Oh, I heard him.
00:33Jule, I'm so sorry. I know this is a lot with us being here.
00:40Lonnie, darling, nothing makes me happier than having this house full of life and the people I love.
00:56How'd your call with London go?
01:00Long, and I have like five more just like it today.
01:03I wish I could go to the aquarium with you guys.
01:06I know, I do too, but at least we get to spend time with Lonnie and the twins.
01:12No, I love that Trey gets to hang out with his cool older cousins.
01:16You take lots of pictures, okay?
01:18I will. And next time, no excuses.
01:21I mean, what's the point of being CEO if you never get to spend time with your family?
01:27Well, at least I have time to do this.
01:40Dr. Gregory, it is killing me to see Rachel like this.
01:45I mean, it's like she has forgotten how to smile.
01:51No, no, no, what you can do is tell the judge that she'd be better off at home.
01:58You don't have children, do you, doctor?
02:01No, no, I don't think that's an inappropriate question.
02:05You know what? Thanks for nothing.
02:08Is Rachel all right?
02:10No, E.J., she's not. She's in a mental institute.
02:13Sorry, sorry, stupid question.
02:16Are you all right?
02:20Don't insult me by pretending care.
02:28Sophia Choi is an evil, crazy bitch.
02:32Her son is lucky she's not raising him.
02:36Bet Sophia ends up back in a padded room before the month's out.
02:44Senior superlative.
02:46Most likely to abandon her child.
02:51Class psycho Sophia Choi.
03:07Sarah.
03:08Hey.
03:09Hey, I'm sorry to bug you at work, but I was wondering if you could do me a favor.
03:14Kind of a big one.
03:15Okay. What's going on?
03:19Could you help me order a paternity test?
03:23Alex told me.
03:27He just found out.
03:31He has a baby.
03:35What?
03:39The mother is someone that we thought was out of our lives forever.
03:45And she just dropped us on you.
03:49It's a long story.
03:52But, yes.
03:56And now I don't know if we're strong enough to handle this.
04:01If I'm strong enough.
04:06Stephanie, I'm so sorry.
04:09Me too.
04:12Me too.
04:21I know you're strong enough to get through this.
04:25What if I'm not?
04:28Then I'll be here for you.
04:30No matter what.
04:46Like sand through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.
05:05Can I help you?
05:07No, I got it.
05:08I am an expert at a go bag.
05:10Eli and I are basically a NASCAR pit crew.
05:14That's terrific.
05:15Are you picking Chanel up on the way?
05:18No, I'm going to meet her in the square so we can stop by and get some snacks before we
05:22head to Chicago.
05:24I have to swing by the shop.
05:27Could you drive me with you to the shop?
05:31Yes, that's great.
05:33The kids can stay and hang out with you while I go to Sweet Pits.
05:36You know, I'm thinking I have this book at the store.
05:39It's a, well, it's a baby shark pop-up book.
05:43If Carver and I read it together, maybe he wouldn't find sharks so scary when they're behind glass, that is.
05:52Yeah, you know what, that sounds amazing.
05:55Thank you, Julie.
05:56My darling, I believe any problem can be improved by reading the correct book.
06:03I just want you and your sister to have a perfect day.
06:07I feel like today is going to be a great dry run from when we have two of our own.
06:12I can't wait.
06:17Did you, uh, did you happen to hear back from the, uh, radiologist about getting a mammogram appointment scheduled?
06:26Johnny, are you really bringing that up right now?
06:41A paternity test on who?
06:47On Joy Wesley's baby.
06:51To determine if I am the father.
06:56Rob examples.
06:59Joy.
07:01Yeah.
07:03Joy.
07:04Well, I'm glad she finally told you.
07:08Wait, what?
07:10You knew?
07:15What the hell do you think you're doing?
07:23Screw you.
07:24Screw all of you.
07:25You don't, you don't know me.
07:27You don't know what I've been through because I'm not crazy and I'm, I'm not an evil person.
07:36Go away.
07:39I said, go away.
07:43Go away.
08:05What did I walk in on?
08:07Nothing.
08:09You shouldn't be here.
08:10Oh, well, well, if you're wondering, no one else is home.
08:14What do you want?
08:17Sophia.
08:19You know damn well what I want.
08:21It's time to take care of my nephew.
08:24It's time to take care of my nephew.
08:25Now pull yourself together.
08:32For you.
08:33What do you want me to take care of my nephew?
08:38Unregistered and untraceable.
08:40Now just toss it into the Salem River when you're done.
08:43As we discussed, Johnny is working from home today and Chanel was, she's out with a baby.
08:52No.
08:54What?
08:55I'm sorry.
08:58I can't.
09:00The, the, the kids at school, they're calling me a psycho and a monster.
09:06So?
09:07So, if I do what you're asking me to do, then that makes them right and I'm not that person,
09:12so I will not kill Johnny.
09:16Chanel.
09:18Hey.
09:22I didn't mean to upset you.
09:24Okay?
09:24I just, I, I saw you look down at your phone and I-
09:27Yeah, because I'm waiting on a text from Lonnie.
09:30Alright?
09:30We talked about this, Johnny.
09:32About you constantly.
09:34Just bringing up problems and worries.
09:38I know.
09:39Okay?
09:39I, I'm sorry.
09:40Alright?
09:41It, it was just, it was on my mind.
09:45That's all.
09:48Okay.
09:48Well, I promise to let you know as soon as the appointment is set.
09:54Okay?
09:55Okay.
09:57I love you.
09:59I love you too.
10:01So much.
10:04And I, I couldn't go through any of this without you.
10:13You know, you, and Trey, and this, this baby right here inside you.
10:24You're my everything.
10:26You know that, right?
10:31Okay.
10:31Alright, I shall let you get back to work.
10:35Hey, how about we, uh, how about we order in tonight?
10:39Maybe Ty?
10:41There's this, uh, there's this new horror movie that I've been dying to stream.
10:44It's supposed to be really scary.
10:45Hey, can we not do horror?
10:48There's too much of that going on in real life.
10:51Rom-com it is.
10:53And, I will throw in a back rub.
10:57Mmm.
10:58And what about a foot massage?
11:00Whatever you want.
11:02I'm going to spend this entire evening showing you exactly how much you are loved.
11:13You were Joyce, doctor.
11:17You ran the original pregnancy test.
11:19The one that she said was negative.
11:21Yeah, I, uh, gave her the unopened test results.
11:25And then I had to tend to an emergency, um, before I could go over them with her.
11:30But, by the time I found out that she was pregnant, she had already left Salem.
11:34So, you, like, never spoke to her?
11:36Well, I called her in New York.
11:38But, she told me that she hadn't decided what she was going to do regarding the pregnancy.
11:44I'm sorry, I couldn't tell you anything, obviously.
11:47Dr. Patient confidentiality.
11:49Yeah.
11:51Well, she had a baby girl.
11:53Her name is Kelsey.
11:56She's beautiful.
11:58Well, that's good, right?
12:00Yeah, it's complicated.
12:03But, um...
12:05Yeah, I think so.
12:11Stephanie, I am so sorry.
12:13You were upset and I thought that...
12:16That I wanted to kiss you?
12:20I'm married to Alex.
12:22I know that.
12:23And no matter what is going on between us, I love him.
12:25You understand that, right?
12:27Of course.
12:29Yeah.
12:30Jeremy, I will always be grateful for how you supported me when we were kidnapped and since our rescue.
12:38But I need to be clear, nothing can ever happen between us.
12:48Thanks for being honest.
12:52If I'm being truly honest...
12:57Even if I wasn't married after what happened between us the first time, when we were together, the way that
13:02you treated me, there is no way that I would ever be with you again.
13:21Um...
13:22Does Stephanie know?
13:25Yeah, I told her.
13:26What?
13:27I only wish I had known all along.
13:32Well, um...
13:33When I spoke to Joy, albeit briefly, um, I did get the sense that she knew you were in love
13:41with Stephanie.
13:43And she didn't want to stand in the way of that.
13:47Yeah.
13:49Well, still, that wasn't her decision to make.
13:54I admit, it was a mistake to lean on you the way that I did.
14:00I know that you care about me and that you were trying to help, but I let the lines get
14:03blurry.
14:05Steph...
14:05You didn't do anything wrong.
14:10What happened, this whole situation with Alex and Joy, it is...
14:15I can handle it on my own.
14:18It's just, um...
14:21You weren't even in Salem when they were together.
14:25Just because I was in New York with my dad doesn't mean I can't understand what you're dealing with.
14:31It's a lot to handle.
14:35The...
14:35The...
14:37Joy showing up with the baby...
14:39Now, on the heels of what happened to us.
14:47What?
14:51Steph, what is it?
14:57Oh, my God.
15:04I hope you don't mind my stopping by. I know you're working from home today. Do you have a minute?
15:11Yeah, is this, uh...
15:13Is this about what we were talking about this morning? No-no's will?
15:16No, actually, it's about Bonnie's book and Titan's plagiarism lawsuit. I have an update.
15:24Sophia, we talked about this.
15:26You have no choice. You made a deal, remember?
15:32Now, once Johnny's gone, you can turn your attention on making Holly suffer.
15:39And then, your revenge will be complete.
15:44And then you can... disappear.
15:48Yeah?
15:50Start fresh with a new name, a new life.
15:53You could be happy again.
15:57Don't you want that, Sophia?
16:01I mean, don't you deserve that?
16:06That man! That man!
16:09He took everything from you.
16:12He took everything from you.
16:14He destroyed your mental health, your sense of self, and now you have a chance to get all that back.
16:23And even those haters, you don't have to deal with that again.
16:28But it won't happen without me, since I am the one funding your new life.
16:34Hm?
16:37You won't get that.
16:40Hm.
16:42If you don't do as I ask.
16:47So...
16:47You good?
16:57Hey, you two!
16:59Hey!
17:00I see this guy.
17:03Look at you, you little stud!
17:05This outfit!
17:07So cute!
17:08I know, right?
17:10Where are Jules and Carver?
17:12Julie is watching them in the bookstore.
17:14Let me go get them.
17:19Hello?
17:21Yes, this is Chanel.
17:25Oh.
17:26Now, like, as in today?
17:31Okay.
17:33Yeah, sure.
17:35Thanks.
17:37Who was that?
17:40Lonnie, I'm sorry, but I can't go to Chicago.
17:43What?
17:44What?
17:44What's going on?
17:50Steph, what is it?
17:52What's wrong?
17:55Joy said she heard from a mutual friend that Alex couldn't wait to start a family.
17:59That's why she came back to town to tell him about the baby.
18:04No one here in Salem even knew that she was pregnant.
18:07Very few people even knew that she and Alex hooked up.
18:10But I did tell you.
18:18I was talking to Alex about how I feel right now.
18:22Told him that I wasn't as sure as I used to be about wanting kids.
18:30It was not about him.
18:32But he took it the wrong way.
18:34And then I got defensive and the whole thing escalated really quickly.
18:41I'm sorry.
18:42But what's strange to me is this is like a total 180 from where Alex was last year.
18:49When he thought that he got Joy Wesley pregnant.
18:54I told you Alex was pressuring me about having a family.
18:57I even told you about the pregnancy scare with Joy.
19:03Your dad was dating Joy's mom, so of course you talked to her.
19:07You're the friend who got Joy to come clean, aren't you?
19:12You're the one who got her to come back to Salem.
19:26I'm really sorry to cancel on you.
19:29Are you kidding?
19:30I mean, Chanel, if they can get you in for this mammogram, you have to go.
19:35Yeah, but it's not like it's an emergency, but it's just that Johnny was really worried and so...
19:40Are you worried?
19:43You know how your body changes during pregnancy, so...
19:47Sarah says that the lump is probably nothing.
19:49It's probably nothing.
19:51Have you told mom?
19:53No, no, I have not told mom yet.
19:55You know how she gets.
19:56Yeah, yeah.
19:57So please just don't say anything.
20:00Okay.
20:01Your call, I am just...
20:03I'm so happy you're getting it checked out.
20:07Let me go ask Julie if she'll keep the twins for the afternoon.
20:10Why?
20:11What do you mean why? I'm coming with you.
20:13No, you can't do that.
20:16Why not?
20:17Because I don't want to let Jules and Carver down.
20:20Chanel is fine.
20:22Carver is afraid to go anyway.
20:24I want to be there for you.
20:27You know, you know what the best thing that you can do for me is...
20:31Take Trey with you to the aquarium.
20:34Okay, it'll give me happy thoughts to know that he's there, seeing the fishies with his cousins.
20:40We can go to the aquarium any other day.
20:43Yes, I know that, but please, I mean it.
20:48Alright?
20:50Are you sure?
20:52Yes, I'm sure.
20:55And take a million pictures, okay?
21:00Okay.
21:02You just call me if anything, just if there's anything that you need, you call me.
21:08Okay.
21:09I will. Thank you.
21:11I'm praying for you.
21:13You know I love you so much, right?
21:16I love you too.
21:17Let's go.
21:20An update on the lawsuit.
21:22Okay.
21:24Good or bad?
21:26Good, I hope.
21:27I went around Xander and Kate and reached out to Justin directly.
21:32Justin wants to save his wife for the humiliation of this lawsuit, going to trial and becoming tabloid fodder.
21:40I mean, that'd be great.
21:41Huh.
21:44Thank you for, you know, for working on this and...
21:47Yeah, I really appreciate it.
21:48I really appreciate you stopping by to let me know too.
21:53Never a hardship to deliver good news.
21:55Plus, I thought I might steal a little time, my grandson.
21:59Uh, sorry. No, yeah, Trey and Chanel are in Chicago at the Shedd Aquarium.
22:05Next time?
22:07Next time.
22:10Hey, how about tomorrow?
22:15Yeah, maybe...
22:16Maybe we could take Trey out for lunch before we go to Nono's will reading?
22:22I'd love that.
22:28All right.
22:30Let me see these messages.
22:33I made a fake post on a school message board, fishing for Holly to say something negative about me so
22:39that I could use it against her later.
22:41And did she?
22:44Well, then everybody else started piling on and I don't even know half of those people and they all hate
22:49me.
22:51Sophia Choi is an evil, crazy bitch.
22:54Her son is lucky she's not raising him.
22:58It just gets more vicious from there.
23:04Sophia!
23:06These miserable losers saying vile things about you after what Holly and Johnny put you through?
23:14They are the monsters.
23:18Trust me, if you stay in Salem, this hate, it will always, always be a part of your life.
23:28Along with the shame and the judgment.
23:33You will feel this every time you walk out of your house.
23:45If they make you feel that way, why do you stay here?
23:53Rachel?
23:55And I have unfinished business here.
24:00Settling the score with your brother.
24:03Huh.
24:05Yeah.
24:07And once we're even, maybe I'll disappear too.
24:11You know.
24:12Take Rachel, leave Salem.
24:15And...
24:17Just let those small minded jerks see them in my rear view mirror.
24:24And say goodbye to them for good.
24:28Not to mention EJ.
24:30Okay.
24:31All right.
24:32You know what?
24:32I'm sorry that my brother tried to scare you this morning.
24:36But those threats?
24:38Those are just the beginning.
24:42You will never be free of that.
24:45Never.
24:49He...
24:50Deserves to feel real loss.
24:55Real unrelenting pain.
24:58And when he does...
25:02He'll understand.
25:05He...
25:07And Holly...
25:09And Johnny...
25:10They will all understand.
25:11You understand.
25:22Sophia?
25:25Do not squander...
25:29This golden...
25:31Opportunity.
25:33Huh?
25:38one last mission, that's it. And then you, you can live your beautiful new life.
26:14You know, I made a similar choice to Joyce with Victoria.
26:21Yeah, but you didn't do that to protect Xander. You did it to protect your daughter from someone
26:26who was threatening her safety. But now, after I've seen everything Xander's done, I still
26:40regret keeping his daughter from him. And it sounds like Joy feels the same way. Yeah.
26:49Laura. Now, back to the paternity test. Do you have any reason to believe the child isn't
27:00yours? Not really. I'm just covering my bases. I think that's smart. It's better to make sure
27:13before you make any decisions. Right. And then we will just deal with whatever comes next.
27:25The old me would try to deny it. Try to throw someone else under the bus. I've spent too
27:32much time trying to convince you. Convince this entire town. I'm not that guy anymore.
27:38Does that mean you're admitting what you did? Yes. Once I realized that Alex is the father
27:46of Joy's baby, I encouraged her to come back to Salem and tell him the truth.
27:51Which you knew would turn Alex and my life upside down. And you even pretended to be surprised
27:58that Roy was in town. Hold on, please. I didn't do it for the reasons you think. I was trying
28:02to help. Help? How? Alex deserves to know he has a daughter. And Joy is struggling to raise
28:11that kid on her own. Keeping this big secret to herself. Mostly, I saw how stressed you were
28:18about Alex wanting a kid. And I thought maybe if you already knew he had a child, might take
28:23some of the pressure off. You really think this was going to make things easier? Do you hear yourself?
28:36Sorry, Steph. I was trying to be there for you. Yeah, well, I don't want that. Not anymore.
28:49I will always be thankful that you showed up when I needed you to. But that is where it ends.
28:59I don't want you in my life anymore, Jeremy. Not in any way. Do you understand?
29:09Yeah. Yeah, I got it. Goodbye, Stephanie.
29:47You seem to be in better spirits. Yeah, so do you. I had to spend some time with Johnny.
29:54Oh, how is that, darling boy? He's great. We spoke about the mirror business, and he invited
30:04me to spend some time with him and Trey before the will waiting.
30:08Oh, congratulations. It sounds like things couldn't be better.
30:36Hey, Mom. I know you're busy, but can you let me know if you have a minute?
30:48I need my mom right now.
30:58Ah, you're home.
31:03Something wrong?
31:06I did something, Julie.
31:09There's something I...
31:12I believed it was helpful at the time.
31:15I was starting to realize it.
31:18I didn't do it for the right reasons.
31:22Well, I don't know what the something is, so I can't comment.
31:26I'm sorry you're upset.
31:32You know, I've been trying to figure out what my next chapter's gonna be.
31:36Whether I should stay in Salem or just go somewhere else.
31:42Have you made a final decision?
31:48Alex!
31:49Hey, what are you doing here?
31:51Hey, Chanel.
31:52Just here for a routine test.
31:54How about you?
31:55Everything good with the baby?
31:57Yeah, yeah, great.
31:58Just a checkup.
32:00Oh, nice.
32:01Well, good luck.
32:02Yeah, you see it.
32:03Oh, good.
32:04Radiology reached you.
32:06I'm really glad they could squeeze you in today.
32:08Will Johnny be joining you?
32:10Uh, I haven't called him.
32:13Does he...
32:14Should he be here?
32:16I think he would want to be here.
32:21Uh, well, he's just really slammed with work right now, so I just...
32:26I don't want to worry him.
32:29Okay, I understand.
32:31And as your doctor, I will respect your decision.
32:36But as your friend, I have to ask.
32:40Maybe he would like the chance to make that decision himself.
32:43Oh, my God.
32:50Oh, my God.
32:52Oh, my God.
32:54Oh, my God.
33:26Okay, he's not answering.
33:28He's probably on another international Zoom conference.
33:32Is there anyone else I could call for you?
33:35Maybe your mom?
33:36No, I'll be fine.
33:37Like you said, it's probably nothing, so it's best to just get it over with.
33:43Okay.
33:44Well, there are gowns in the dressing rooms down the hall.
33:47A nurse will direct you to them, and I will walk you down to radiology when you're ready.
33:53Okay.
33:53Okay.
34:02I don't know anymore, Julie.
34:06You don't know about what?
34:13Everything?
34:15It feels like no matter what I do, I just make things worse.
34:20Jeremy.
34:23Jeremy, because you lead with your heart, like I always have.
34:30Sometimes things just spin out of control that way.
34:34Our control, anyhow.
34:39Well, that's when you need to focus on what really matters, Jeremy, on what makes you happy.
34:51What if what makes me happy, I can't ever have.
35:04Maybe it's time to forget what's impossible and open yourself up to something new, something that might be wonderful.
35:22Something that's worthy of the good person you are.
35:36You're home.
35:37I just got back.
35:40Where'd you go?
35:42I needed some air.
35:45And they ended up running into Jeremy.
35:49Jeremy.
35:52Alex, he's the one who brought Joy back to Salem and encouraged her to tell you the truth about the
35:58baby.
35:59Wait, what?
36:01Why the hell would he do that?
36:03Doesn't matter.
36:05Because you deserved to know.
36:10So even though I'm upset, it's not Jeremy's fault or Joy's.
36:17And it's certainly not yours.
36:22So, if you are the father, I just dropped off the samples at the hospital.
36:29You're doing the DNA test as we speak.
36:32Okay.
36:33Good.
36:38But you know, if you are a match, this is going to change our whole lives.
36:47I know.
36:56One thing that doesn't change is how much I love you.
37:02I love you.
37:03I love you, too.
37:04I do.
37:08We're going to get through this stuff.
37:13As long as we hold on to each other, we're going to be okay.
37:32As much as I love being here with you and the whole family, I just don't think I can get
37:40the fresh start I need in Salem.
37:43Well, I don't think this is where my future is right now.
37:51So, back to New York?
37:56I think that's where I need to be.
38:00Hopefully, uh, find some peace and see what's next.
38:11Well, I'm going to miss you.
38:18I'm so proud of you, Jeremy.
38:21Thank you for never losing faith in me, for making me feel like a true Horton.
38:31You are a Horton, my dear.
38:35And wherever you go, remember you always have a home.
38:41Here.
38:45Evil.
38:47Oh.
38:53You're still planning to be at the will-reading tomorrow, I hope?
38:59Wouldn't miss it.
39:03I have to say, I am relieved the day has finally come.
39:07We can put father to rest and move forward with our family.
39:12And who doesn't want that, right?
39:18How are you feeling about it, Chris?
39:24I'm feeling...
39:28Tomorrow is going to be a day that none of us will ever forget.
39:32Remember what father used to say?
39:35Make the most of today.
39:39For tomorrow is in quarantine.
39:51Look, Sophia, this is, uh, really not a good time.
39:54And, frankly, I have nothing to say to you.
39:58No.
40:00No.
40:00Well, I don't really care because I have a lot to say to you.
40:05Ah!
40:06Ah!
40:06Ah!
