03:34and i even brought you that photo album as a gift
03:37but instead you dropped a bomb and left me to pick up the pieces
03:45sophia i'm sorry for how all of that happened
03:48do you have any idea how terrifying it was to give birth all alone
03:56and know that no help was coming for you no adoptive parents no friends no family
04:03and to feel so helpless that your only choice was to leave your baby in a box at the firehouse
04:09you can only imagine how awful that must have been for you sophia
04:16well it was only the most painful thing that i've ever had to do in my life
04:21but you got to walk away with the perfect life

05:26is to get rid of you
05:29permanently
05:36i hope that you and kristen are keeping things amicable for rachel's sake

05:52and
05:54what's going on with basic black
05:58i'm afraid that news isn't so positive
06:02oh
06:03so xander is still forcing me to work with kate
06:06i spoke to philip hoping i could make some headway
06:13he's decided to back his brother
06:16as much as i want you involved in the family business
06:21i don't want you to be uncomfortable
06:23so whatever you decide
06:26i will support
06:32oh
06:34it looks like someone's ready to blow this joint
06:36is it that obvious that i'm itching to get out of here

06:40i'm hopefully
06:42i've been working really hard at physical therapy
06:43i'm
06:44i'm feeling good

06:52and i have your guest room all ready for you
07:01are you here for your appointment with marlena
07:02i am
07:05good
07:06because even though you feel like you're healing
07:08and your dad's helping you feel safe
07:12you know recovering from trauma it's a long road
07:15well i couldn't be getting through any of this without you and papa
07:20but um that's
07:21that's not why i'm upset today
07:25it's not
07:26what is it then
07:30joy wesley
07:34she just came back to salem
07:38with her new baby
07:43and we think it's alex's
07:55so
07:56joy just showed up at her doorstep unannounced
07:58and
07:59she thought that alex deserved to know his child
08:04but i thought when they had that pregnancy scare all those months ago that her test came back negative
08:09yeah
08:09well
08:11she lied
08:13i'm so sorry
08:16well do you know why she finally decided to tell alex
08:19did it have something to do with the kidnapping or
08:23was it just totally out of the blue
08:28she actually got some encouragement from a friend
08:34brady i know how important it is for you to keep basic black in the family
08:39i
08:40i feel the same way
08:44xander's just a snake
08:47he's upset that i'm seeing sarah
08:49so he's trying to punish me
08:50by going after my dad's company
08:54regardless of how we feel about it
08:57he's the boss
08:58you're not suggesting that we roll over and do what he wants
09:08you know i spend hours in this office
09:11trying to teach people how to compromise
09:16compromise with their family and their friends or co-workers
09:22maybe i should
09:24try to do the same thing
09:27try to find a compromise that
09:30that works for xander
09:32and one with which we can all live ourselves
09:38are you sure
09:40it's a lot to ask considering
09:42how kate set up johnny for god's sake
09:47i know
09:50i want to make it work
09:53for you
09:56and for john
10:00okay so the doctor said you can push yourself like this
10:03yeah i'll check it out
10:06okay now you're just showing off
10:08what do you have to worry about
10:09here check this one out
10:11what
10:21i don't get dressed yet
10:24why not i thought the test was over
10:26it's just procedure to wait for the radiologist to read the images just to
10:30make sure they don't need more pictures
10:32okay well is that
10:34something that happens often
10:37sometimes yeah it could just be
10:39a technical issue or
10:42something that they want to
10:43look at more
10:46okay well
10:47how long is that going to take
10:48because i really want to make it home
10:50before lani gets back with trey
10:51good
10:52it shouldn't be too long
10:53i just
10:55before you leave
10:56i just want to make sure that we
10:57get the answers that we're looking for
11:02okay
11:08sofia
11:09sofia
11:11whatever you think
11:12this is going to fix
11:13it is only going to make things worse for you
11:16but at least i'll know you got what you deserved
11:22look
11:24i am sorry if you feel like
11:27that i feel
11:28that i feel like
11:30like it's all in my head
11:32like like you didn't do anything wrong
11:36i didn't mean
11:37then you stop saying that
11:39this is not about how i feel
11:42this is about what you
11:44did
11:45to
11:45me
11:50sofia
11:51i i really i really don't know what you want me to say here
11:54well you can start with
11:55sofia
11:56i'm very sorry that i screwed up your life
12:04say it
12:10sofia
12:12i am very
12:14sorry that i screwed up your life
12:19how is that so hard
12:24is that mean you accept my apology
12:26yes
12:28i'm really glad to hear that you're sorry
12:30and
12:32i don't know
12:33maybe you even mean it
12:36but sorry is not nearly enough
13:04so jeremy's the reason that joey came back
13:07he says he was trying to help me
13:10but it's not like alex doesn't have a right to know
13:14of course
13:16but still it's hard for you to find out that your
13:18husband has a baby he didn't know about
13:22i know you've been through it
13:25yeah i have but it was so different
13:28you know trip was an adult when he came into our lives
13:31i mean to say that it was an adjustment for all of us would be an understatement
13:36but
13:37but things are good now
13:39yeah they're they are good and i think of trip as our family
13:44but lucky for us
13:46but lucky for us
13:47ava is not in our life anymore
13:49but joey is not ava
13:52and if this baby is alex's
13:55i bet
13:56that you and joy and alex
14:00work this out
14:03i hope so
14:10is
14:11is everything okay
14:13um unfortunately the radiologist does want to take another look at the left breast
14:18followed by an ultrasound which
14:21doesn't necessarily mean anything is wrong
14:24okay but do we have to do those other tests today
14:27i really need to make it home for trey
14:29i would highly recommend getting it done right away
14:33do you want to reach out to johnny again
14:35i didn't know answer
14:38do you really think it's so important for him to be here
14:42well i think it would be good for both of you
14:45you know having
14:47a loving supportive partner with you always makes things better
14:53okay
14:54okay
14:55i will be right back when radiology is ready
15:00okay
15:20what do you think
15:30what is this
15:31oh
15:33it's amazing what you can find on the internet if you look hard enough
15:38i could have taken you out the quick and simple way
15:41but
15:42i liked something about the idea of you having to watch it all unfold and know exactly what's
15:49to come
15:49being completely helpless to stop it
15:52stop what
15:57well i have placed the candle here next to an accelerant
16:06so as it slowly burns down it'll eventually reach the acetone fumes
16:15so you're gonna set this apartment on fire
16:19you're getting warmer
16:20so to speak but no not quite
16:23take a big deep breath in for me
16:28do you smell that
16:35yes
16:36ding ding ding
16:38i turned on the burners in the kitchen
16:41so as the acetone lights up so will the gas in the air and then boom
16:47johnny demura will be no more
16:50sofia listen to me do you have any idea how big this explosion could be you could take out the
16:56entire
16:57building think about all of the innocent people who live here you are the one who caused this if innocent
17:04people are hurt they have nobody else to blame but you sofia you don't mean that
17:12okay you are a good person remember remember remember when you were pregnant and we used to talk all the
17:20time you talk about how all you wanted was just the best portraying
17:25stop talking
17:27you can spend whatever time you have left letting your miserable little life flash before your eyes
17:38sofia
17:41please
17:43don't do this
17:50don't do this
18:00now you think about
18:02everything that you have taken away from me
18:05and everything that you are about to lose
18:10you
18:15ah
18:16what is going on in here
18:18nothing nothing i'm fine
18:21jada
18:21your nephew
18:23was anxious to get out of here and so he started showing off on his crutches and let's just say
18:29he overestimated his skills just a little bit
18:32i said whatever the floor it was slippery
18:35i told you
18:37to take your time and not push so hard
18:40right
18:40oh well
18:42he left that little detail out
18:44oh
18:45hmm
18:45listen and kayla
18:47i'm ready to go home
18:48please
18:49discharge you
18:52how can i trust you
18:53how can i trust you to not hurt yourself
18:59i
19:00i didn't mean to lead jeremy on
19:02but he obviously got the wrong idea
19:06look you can't blame yourself for that
19:08you
19:10you and jeremy shared an extreme event
19:13we did
19:16and i admit i started to lean on him
19:19as a friend
19:23and i got
19:24too lost in my own head to realize that jeremy's old feelings were starting to come back
19:31did he tell you how he felt about you
19:34he kissed me
19:37oh
19:39how did you feel about that
19:42shocked
19:44angry
19:47maybe a little guilty
19:51but i made it very clear to him that he and i would never be together again not just because
19:55of alex but because of the way he treated me when we were together before
20:00i know that ended badly
20:05he was manipulative
20:08abusive
20:11the whole thing was just very
20:14unsafe
20:16i got out
20:17just in time
20:21but in some ways
20:25maybe i never did
20:27what do you mean by that
20:30it was the beginning of a cycle
20:34choosing guys who took advantage of me
20:37who were also abusive
20:40again and again
20:45you
20:45look you can't
20:46blame yourself for what jeremy did
20:50you're just not responsible for that
20:52you
20:52you're responsible
20:54for your own actions
20:56and yours alone
20:59i know that
21:03but it's my own actions i'm worried about
21:15why did you come all this way to see little old me
21:19maybe
21:20i also came to uh
21:22let marlena know that her visiting privileges with rachel have been restored
21:26oh that's awesome
21:28yeah it's good
21:29why doesn't your face say it's awesome
21:31what's happened
21:33sarah it's xander
21:35he has put up every roadblock he can think of
21:38in front of my plan to bring marlena to basic plaque
21:42he knows that you want to keep it in the family
21:44i know he does
21:46that's why he's doing it
21:47how
21:47to hurt me
21:48mm-hmm
21:49you both know why
21:52do you think that the rage room offers some sort of like loyalty programming to join
21:57yeah
21:58i was actually thinking about this and uh
22:01i think the best thing we can do as far as xander and christine is concerned is just be very
22:06very happy
22:08which we are
22:11right
22:12i'm happy
22:13thank you

22:45of course they were
22:47thanks buddy
22:50what happened
22:52test results
22:54this
22:54came in from the lab
22:55on holly's tainted supplement bottle
23:00Sophia's prints
23:01are all over it
23:14you
23:14you somehow forgot to mention that kayla said it's make it easy i mean it was open to interpretation but
23:23yeah
23:23was it though
23:24this is what you get when your aunt is also your doctor
23:27mmm
23:28hey
23:29is this an okay time
23:31oh sure i was just giving shine a lecture on not being a dumbass
23:36oh
23:37nice
23:37well i have something to talk to you about it's police matter
23:40yeah what's up
23:43a couple weeks ago my son
23:44noticed that holly was acting irrationally she was having mood swings erratic behavior
23:50when she went in for tests
23:53it was found out that her supplements that she'd been taking were switched
23:57with anti-psychotic meds
24:00intentionally?
24:02that's what we're suspecting
24:04why did you report this?
24:07because rachel and Sophia were both prescribed
24:10these meds
24:11now rachel told me that it definitely was Sophia Choi that made the switch
24:16but we didn't have any proof
24:18so you're saying you have it now?
24:21yeah
24:21we had holly's pill bottle analyzed with fingerprints and Sophia Choi's
24:26we're all over it i just texted you the report
24:33hmm
24:34what do you think?
24:36is it enough for an arrest?
24:38uh no it isn't
24:40but i can certainly bring Sophia in for questioning
24:44okay
24:46oh look i gotta take this
24:47uh when i come back
24:48we'll deal with Sophia
24:56what is it that has you worried?

25:14he has been
25:17he's been doing everything that he can think of to protect me
25:20and i love him for that
25:24but it doesn't make me feel safe
25:27how does it make you feel?
25:32smothered
25:36controlled
25:40we were talking about your past dating experience
25:46Alex's heart is in the right place

31:33No!
31:45No!
31:48No!
31:50No!
31:52No!
31:52I'm sorry!
32:15Sophia drugged Holly was this like some sort of payback for Tate yeah Tate's baby
32:25she was just angry she was angry I don't think this stinted baby did her any good now that we
32:30know she was off her meds yeah well hopefully when they bring her in she's gonna she's gonna get the
32:37help she needs I just want this thing wrapped up as soon as possible yeah yeah I mean of course
32:42so on a lighter note are the rumors true are you planning to put the black back in black patch
32:49Steve told you no
32:53with my dad oh I give him a mom said that they're looking forward to working with you oh you
32:58sure they're not dreading having to train a newbie what are you talking about you're gonna be great it's in
33:03your blood not to mention you did have the best role model
33:09John I just hope I'm half the detective that he was
33:13for what it's worth I think that I know that John loved this look he would be so proud
33:21it's a lot to have looked to not that I don't know anything about that
33:26good point yeah Bo and John they cast pretty long shadows huh yeah and they wouldn't have it any other
33:34way
33:37either would I I mean it's not like Alex cheated on me or lied about joy we weren't even together
33:45when she got
33:46pregnant but the topic of babies has been a point of contention for us lately so the two of you
33:56have
33:56discussed having a child Alex shared with me that after I was missing
34:04one of the things that kept running through his head was that we never got to start a family
34:08together so almost losing you made him want to have a family with you
34:16only I had the exact opposite reaction
34:21because I saw up close how dangerous the world can be I saw how my parents worried
34:28and suffered how can I be present for a child when I feel so
34:40unmoored
34:43it's very brave of you to admit that
34:47you know most people
34:50especially women
34:52would have a hard time discussing that because all of the societal expectations
35:01for me it's less about society and more about my husband
35:08because when I look at Alex I feel like
35:12I'm letting him down somehow
35:15that's not what this is
35:20but what if he decides that raising a kid is so important to him that
35:26he'd rather be with the person who already gave him one
35:39what was the nature of Alex and Joy's relationship before she left Salem
35:44they were friends
35:48after the pregnancy scare
35:49there wasn't any bitterness or resentment
35:54so no unrealistic expectations
36:00you mean did Joy want to be in a relationship with Alex
36:05or vice versa
36:09no
36:10I don't think so
36:13and I mean I know that Alex loves me
36:17and he's been saying all the right things about facing this together
36:23and you have no reason to believe that's not true
36:29no
36:34and I know that this is going to sound selfish or unkind
36:44but this isn't what I signed up for
36:50which part
36:52Marlena you know better than anyone that I'm barely keeping my head above water
36:58which is why
37:01I just don't feel equipped right now
37:05to deal with another woman's child
37:11okay
37:12okay
37:12I think we're ready to take you back down to
37:19Janelle

37:28are you handling this personally
37:30I think it's the best way to avoid any kind of escalation
37:33you want some backup
37:37okay you know that Kayla is not signing off on that
37:39and neither am I
37:42Jada
37:43I'd like to come along

37:50you have to understand
37:51this girl
37:52messed with both my kids

37:57I won't interfere
37:59listen I have a certain rapport

38:04I think it might end up being helpful
38:08please
38:08please
38:08I just want to see Sophia stop

38:38I don't know.
39:08Whoever cares.
39:11I am so tired of hurting.
39:20Tired of begging for forgiveness for my mistakes.
39:25All I've wanted was to move forward.
39:30To be loved.
39:32And understood.
39:38But it's clear that I was never going to get that.
39:44Holly Jonas said that I was dead to her.
39:50So, as her former BFF,
39:55I'm going to make her dream a reality.
40:05You know, you've got to get out of here.
40:07This place is going to blow.
40:08No, I cannot try you.
40:10No, no, no.
40:12Candle.
40:12Blow out the candle.
40:13Blow out the candle.
40:14No, no.
40:41I cannot wait.

Thank you so much for sharing days with us early. It was a pretty good episode I hope they catch Sophia before she kills herself if she kills herself and I hope John answer no make it out but they are supposed to leave the show but not this way come on and Stephanie is being selfish I don't care what anybody says she is I know she's been through a lot but she's being selfish about the baby thing today's world everybody's doing it
