00:03This is a nice surprise.
00:05Uh, Henderson told me you're here.
00:07Good to see you, Dad.
00:09Good to see you.
00:10Well, your timing couldn't be better, because I was about ready to call you.
00:14Huh.
00:15EJ has been leaning on me to talk some sense into Titan.
00:20Um, about dropping this lawsuit.
00:23And first time for everything, I happen to agree with him.
00:27Hey, Dad, you don't have to give me the hard sell. I was against the suit to begin with.
00:31I actually tried talking to Xander and Kate into dropping it, but they wouldn't budge.
00:36I'm happy to take another run at it, though.
00:37Well, that would be very much appreciated.
00:41Especially since this lawsuit is very hurtful for Bonnie, and I want to protect her.
00:46I know. I always got your back, Dad.
00:50That's actually not why I'm here.
00:54Is there something wrong?
00:55Well, no, but I just found out you're a grandfather again.
01:15Who is it?
01:17It's your best friend and your next-door neighbor.
01:28Jada, hi.
01:29Hey, Steph.
01:30Hi.
01:30Hi.
01:31Mwah.
01:32Oh, I feel like I haven't seen you in forever.
01:34I have been so swamped with work.
01:37Oh, it's okay.
01:40I understand.
01:43Well, I've got to get to the station soon, but I just want to check in, you know, see how
01:48you're doing.
01:50Can't you tell?
01:51I'm a hot mess.
02:05Mom?
02:06What are you doing here?
02:08Hey, I may not live here anymore, but this is still my home, okay?
02:12Rave told me that it was move-out day at the dorm and that you'd be back here sometime today.
02:17Okay, so I took the day off and thought that I would help you unpack.
02:21I'm not buying it.
02:23I am just moving home for the summer, not across the country, so what is this really about?
02:29Okay.
02:30You got me.
02:32Johnny, I wanted to talk to you, too.
02:34Let me guess.
02:36About Liam Salico?
02:43Oh, good.
02:44You're back.
02:47I thought I was going to have to hold down the fort until after the lunch rush.
02:51So, how's Johnny?
02:53Oh, better, better.
02:55Matter of fact, he might be able to be discharged tomorrow.
03:00Great.
03:01That's wonderful news.
03:03So, why are you looking like someone who just had their car keyed?
03:09I, uh, ran into Marlena at the hospital.
03:13Uh-huh.
03:14Of course you did.
03:19So, what did you and Marlena talk about that made you so unhappy?
03:24There's a plagiarism mess between Johnny and Sadie.
03:30Marlena believes Johnny's telling the truth.
03:34But you said he might.
03:58Mrs. Choi?
04:01What are you doing here?
04:06Um, I came to say, I'm sorry.
04:12I'm so deeply sorry for what my daughter did to you.
04:20Your daddy's going to be so excited to see you.
04:24Yes, he is.
04:40Like sand through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.
04:46James.
04:56Chanel.
04:58Hi.
05:00Joy.
05:02I've been meaning to let you know that I was back in town.
05:05Not sure why you would.
05:09Right.
05:11I see congratulations are in order.
05:16Times two, I guess.
05:20Yeah, Johnny and I are very blessed.
05:24And, uh, who's this?
05:28Um, this is my daughter.
05:30Kelsey.
05:33She's beautiful.
05:40And who's her daddy?
05:47Mrs. Choi, you don't have to apologize to me.
05:53Yes, I do.
05:56When Sophia came back from Bayview.
06:00My husband and I were so happy.
06:03We told ourselves we could just go back to normal.
06:10We didn't see.
06:13We wouldn't let ourselves see how much she was still hurting.
06:21I'm so grateful you're going to be okay.
06:27Thank you, Mrs. Choi.
06:30And, uh, I'm sorry for your loss.
06:37No.
06:40Sophia isn't gone.
06:43If she were, I'd know it.
06:48I believe in my heart that my daughter is still alive.
06:51And that we will find her.
06:57Uh, are you saying that Stephanie's pregnant?
07:00Mm-hmm.
07:01If only it were that simple.
07:02Well, I don't understand.
07:06Dad, I just found out that I have a daughter.
07:11With Joy Wesley.
07:14Her name is Kelsey.
07:17She's six months old.
07:22Okay, so let me get this straight.
07:25Jeremy brought Joy back into town.
07:28Made a pass at you.
07:30And then he hightailed it out of Salem and you made it clear that you weren't interested?
07:34Right.
07:35I think my rejection of him is what pushed him back to New York.
07:40But Joy's sticking around.
07:42With Alex's baby.
07:45Oh, my God, Steph.
07:48I am so sorry.
07:50This is the last thing that you both need right now.
07:53Well, I don't know if Alex agrees.
07:55He's really glad that Joy isn't heading back to New York.
07:58He wants to get to know his daughter.
08:02But how do you feel about it?
08:05I think I feel.
08:07I hate it.
08:09Jada, I hate it so much.
08:13So, Marlena thinks the worst of me.
08:18Did she give you any proof that I sabotaged your grandson's career?
08:22No, but her gut has usually been more right than wrong.
08:29Oh, I see.
08:30Well, that's good to know that you trust Marlena's gut over my word.
08:35Oh, come on.
08:36Katie, I didn't say that.
08:38No, you didn't.
08:39But you didn't really have to.
08:40Because obviously Marlena got into your head.
08:42And now you don't know what to believe, do you?
08:46No.
08:47I don't.
08:53Oh, my God, I knew this was coming.
08:55I could feel you ready to pounce as soon as you saw me and Liam together at the bookstore.
09:01So you were ghosting me then?
09:02You were ignoring all of my texts and calls?
09:04I'm in the middle of finals too, Mom.
09:06Not everything is about you.
09:08Oh, please.
09:09You were avoiding me for the same reason that you lied about Liam, because you know that he's trouble.
09:14I really don't want to hear this right now.
09:17Well, too bad.
09:18I'm your mother.
09:19So you're going to hear it whether you like it or not.
09:31Listen, I know that Sophia blamed me for a lot of the pain that she went through.
09:43And I am sorry for that.
09:46I never meant to hurt her.
09:51I accept your apology.
09:55But in my heart, it is very difficult to let go of this anger that I feel.
10:02I understand that.
10:05But if there's anything that I can do to help you...
10:08There is.
10:09There is.
10:17Can you promise me that my grandson will grow up hating my daughter?
10:24That you won't batmouth Sophia to him?
10:29Of course.
10:31Of course.
10:33All we will tell Trey is that Sophia loved him.
10:41And she did what she thought was best for him.
10:47And hey, if you ever feel like you want to come visit Trey,
10:52I wish Chanel and I would be more than happy to make that up.
10:59But that would mean the world to me.
11:08She is Alex's baby.
11:12In case your mind went there.
11:15You know Johnny and I never...
11:16Yeah, I know.
11:18Yeah, I know.
11:20So, I assume that you've told Alex that he's the father?
11:27Yeah.
11:28He knows now.
11:30But he didn't while you were pregnant.
11:31But he didn't while you were pregnant.
11:34I thought that I was doing the right thing last year when I left town without telling anybody.
11:40I didn't think Alex would want a kid, at least not with me.
11:45Not when he and Stephanie had just gotten back together.
11:50I didn't want to come between them.
11:52And now what, you've changed your mind?
11:55No.
11:57But I might have read the situation wrong.
12:00Now that Alex knows about Kelsey,
12:03he wants to be involved in our life.
12:07So does this mean that you're staying in Salem?
12:17You remember what Joy was like when they worked together.
12:20She had this obsession with Alex.
12:23She had this weird codependent relationship with him.
12:27And now,
12:28she has given him the one thing I might never...
12:36Something that he really wants.
12:38A child.
12:40Which ties them together forever.
12:44Yeah, as co-parents.
12:47But Steph,
12:48you are the woman he loves.
12:51You are the woman that he wants to spend the rest of his life with.
12:55The timing of this couldn't be worse.
12:59I am dealing with PTSD.
13:02I'm crawling out of my skin most days.
13:05Which is why I told Alex that
13:08I wasn't sure having a kid
13:10was even on the table for me anymore.
13:15I have to fit another woman's child into the mix.
13:21How am I supposed to...
13:23How am I supposed to fit a baby into my life
13:26without absolutely losing it?
13:35I don't know if I can do this, Jana.
13:39But how am I supposed to tell Alex that
13:42without sounding like the worst person in the world?
13:46You don't worry about how it sounds.
13:50Okay?
13:52You just say it.
14:05This must be quite a shock for you.
14:09Yes, it was.
14:12You know that I took one look
14:14at this little girl.
14:17And she immediately had my heart.
14:21Well, I'm grateful that Joy didn't
14:23keep Kelsey away from you for too long.
14:26Trust me.
14:27I know how that feels.
14:28Yeah, I know you do.
14:32It was a long time ago
14:33and I don't want to ever speak
14:35ill of the dead.
14:37But your mother
14:39keeping you from me and Adrian
14:41and all that you did to drive us apart
14:44was hell.
14:47But
14:50I would go through all of that
14:51again.
14:53Because not a day goes by
14:55that I don't thank God
14:57that I did find you.
15:00I'm glad you did too, Dad.
15:05Now listen, Alex.
15:06I know that your whole life
15:07just changed
15:09in a blink of an eye.
15:11So did mine
15:13when I first
15:15held you in my arms
15:16all those years ago.
15:19But it changed me
15:21for the better.
15:23You're such a gift, Alex.
15:26And I thank God
15:28that I
15:29you know
15:31get to be your father.
15:35Come here.
15:37Go ahead, please, Mom.
15:46Can you not do this
15:48right now?
15:49Can I not do what?
15:51I'm just looking out for you.
15:52No, you're going from zero to 60
15:53like you always do.
15:55You're freaking out
15:56despite the fact that Liam and I
15:58aren't even in a relationship.
16:00Oh, no?
16:01Then why did you let him stay
16:02in your dorm room?
16:03I was just giving him
16:05a place to crash
16:06after one of Vivian's goons
16:08shot him.
16:09Well, Vivian's dead now, right?
16:10So you don't have to worry
16:11about me getting caught
16:11in the crossfire anymore.
16:13That's not all I'm worried about.
16:16Anyone who would help
16:17kidnap the Demeris
16:18is a dangerous person.
16:20Theo was almost killed, Ari.
16:21Do you even care?
16:22Of course I care.
16:24But Liam didn't know
16:25what was going on.
16:26He just thought he was
16:27delivering food and water
16:28to the crypt.
16:29A perfectly normal job
16:31in today's gig economy.
16:33And when he realized
16:34that the Demeris were missing,
16:36what did he do then?
16:37He must have put
16:37two and two together.
16:38And did he go to the police
16:40and tell them
16:40what was going on?
16:41He was scared.
16:43Why is that so hard
16:44to understand?
16:47What's hard to understand
16:49is why you keep
16:50defending this man
16:52at every turn.
16:53Oh, you mean like
16:55you used to
16:56when you were married
16:57to Stefan.
17:04I really want
17:05to believe you.
17:06I really do.
17:07But there's just
17:08so much of this
17:09that doesn't add up.
17:12Like what?
17:13Well, like the fact
17:14you and Marlena
17:15were supposed to work
17:16together in basic black.
17:18Why did that fall apart?
17:20Well, maybe you should
17:21ask Marlena.
17:24Xandra told me
17:24that she had second thoughts
17:26about working with me,
17:27which I have to admit
17:27stings a bit.
17:29Yeah, well, it stings me too
17:31because both Marlena
17:32and Johnny are convinced
17:33you set them up
17:35and you still haven't dropped
17:37that damn lawsuit,
17:38which I begged you to do
17:40a million times.
17:41And I have told you
17:42a million times
17:43that it's out of my hands.
17:45It's a tight matter now.
17:48Okay?
17:49And frankly, Roman,
17:50I don't think it's your place
17:51to be telling me
17:52how to run my business.
17:53Well, it sure as hell is
17:55when it's hurting my family.
17:59Your family?
18:01That's so interesting
18:02because I always thought
18:03that your family
18:04was my family,
18:05but maybe I was wrong
18:05about all that.
18:14I should let you
18:15get some rest.
18:19Oh, but before I go,
18:26I found this
18:27with the suicide note
18:28that Sophia left.
18:39Yeah, she took it
18:43with her when she left.
18:49You know what?
18:49You should...
18:51You keep this.
18:54Okay?
18:57That way you've always
18:58got a piece to trade
18:59with you
19:01and Sophia.
19:12She looks a bit like her.
19:14Don't you think?
19:18Yeah.
19:20Yeah, he does.
19:28I heard about Johnny's
19:32accident.
19:33It wasn't an accident.
19:34Someone tried to murder him.
19:37Oh.
19:39Well, I'm...
19:40I'm just glad
19:41that he's okay.
19:42And I assume you'd rather
19:44I didn't visit him,
19:46so if you could just...
19:47Enough!
19:47Joy.
19:49Okay?
19:49I'm not doing this.
19:51Doing what?
19:52You are not my friend.
19:54You're not Johnny's friend.
19:56As far as I'm concerned,
19:57you're nobody to us.
19:59So if you are sticking around,
20:00do me a favor
20:01and stay out of my way
20:02and out of our lives.
20:11You're right.
20:14Modeling up how I'm feeling
20:15won't do me
20:16or Alex any good.
20:18No.
20:19It won't.
20:22And you know,
20:23Alex's world
20:24has changed too.
20:27As messy
20:29as this all is,
20:32Alex wouldn't be
20:33the man that you married
20:34if he didn't step up
20:36and be there
20:36for Kelsey right now.
20:39What does that look like?
20:42Are he and Joy
20:42going to share custody?
20:45Where is the baby
20:46going to live?
20:48What am I supposed
20:49to tell Alex?
20:50Sorry,
20:50I know you want to build
20:51a life with your daughter,
20:52but thanks to my PTSD,
20:54she's not welcome
20:55in her home.
20:56Hey,
20:56just breathe.
20:59Hey,
21:01you haven't even met Kelsey yet.
21:03And you are so great
21:05with kids.
21:07I saw how close
21:09you got with Thomas
21:10and Charlotte.
21:11How much you adored them.
21:14And still do.
21:17So,
21:19who knows?
21:21Maybe this little girl
21:22will surprise you.
21:24Maybe you'll meet her
21:26and she'll melt
21:27your heart too.
21:33You know, Dad,
21:35I think of Adrian
21:36so often,
21:37especially right now.
21:40Just remembering
21:41how good she was to me.
21:44even though I drove you
21:45and her
21:45to your absolute
21:47limits at times,
21:49you know,
21:50as kids do.
21:52But Adrian loved you
21:53as if you were her own.
21:57Now,
21:57was it tough
21:58at the beginning?
22:00Yes,
22:00it was.
22:01It was really tough.
22:04But,
22:04you know,
22:05you were,
22:06um,
22:07you know,
22:07you were our first child.
22:09We were just
22:10learning.
22:11But as the family grew,
22:13you know,
22:14she became so proud
22:16of telling people
22:17that she was a boy mom.
22:19Yeah.
22:21Heh heh.
22:21One step,
22:22two adopted,
22:23one biological.
22:24Didn't make any difference
22:26to her.
22:27You were all hers,
22:28equally.
22:32I just hope
22:33Stephanie will
22:35eventually
22:35feel the same way
22:36about Kelsey.
22:38Sure she will.
22:40Eventually.
22:43So,
22:44when do I get to
22:45meet
22:46my granddaughter?
22:47Soon,
22:47Dad.
22:48Very soon.
22:48Very soon.
22:49Well,
22:50until then,
22:50if there's anything you need,
22:52Alex,
22:52I'm here for you.
22:54I appreciate that
22:56more than you know,
22:56Dad.
22:57Because I am going
22:58to need you.
22:59Definitely.
23:05I was a low blow,
23:07Barry.
23:10Stefan was nothing
23:12like Liam.
23:13He was smart
23:14and charming.
23:15And a criminal,
23:15among other things.
23:17At least I knew
23:18what I was getting into.
23:20You don't know
23:21anything about Liam.
23:23He can't even read.
23:25He's got a five-year-old son,
23:27his exo-deed.
23:29You've made your point.
23:30No.
23:31No.
23:33I don't think I have.
23:37I want you to stay away
23:39from that boy,
23:40Ariana.
23:41Do you understand me?
23:43Because if you don't,
23:45I'm going to have to do
23:45something about it.
23:47Oh, yeah?
23:49What are you going to do,
23:51huh?
23:52Don't test me.
23:54Just stay away from him.
24:03Katie,
24:04of course my family
24:06is your family.
24:07How could you think
24:08otherwise?
24:09It's one of the things
24:10I love about her,
24:12how connected we are.
24:14Well, sometimes it just
24:16doesn't feel that way.
24:18Katie, I love you.
24:19All of you,
24:20even the parts of you
24:22that drive me up a wall.
24:23you don't take crap
24:25from anybody.
24:28You're sharp,
24:29fearless,
24:30and I know I ground you
24:32and you've told me.
24:34Maybe a little?
24:35And you,
24:36you challenge me,
24:38you keep me from coasting.
24:40But also,
24:42Katie,
24:44I know
24:45what you're capable of
24:47when someone
24:48backs you
24:49into a corner.
24:51that edge,
24:52that instinct
24:53to protect yourself
24:55and your kids
24:56at all costs.
24:58That's part of who you are,
24:59and I love you for that.
25:01But it hasn't escaped me
25:03that what's happened
25:05to Johnny
25:05has benefited
25:06your son's company.
25:08and that's why
25:10it's killing me.
25:11And that's why
25:12I'm saying
25:12this whole damn situation,
25:15something doesn't smell right.
25:19Maybe it's just the fish
25:20I was cutting up earlier.
25:24Now,
25:25could we not argue
25:25in front of the customers?
25:27Okay.
25:28We continue.
25:29I'm going to get some out.
25:48Mrs. Troy?
25:51Sorry.
25:55I know I'm probably
25:57the last person
25:58you want to see
25:59right now,
25:59but
26:01I wanted to say
26:02how sorry I am
26:03about Sophia.
26:07Are you really?
26:13No, it's okay.
26:14I know you're
26:16busy with the will reading.
26:19Yeah, no,
26:19I hope it goes well.
26:20Okay, bye.
26:22Hey.
26:24Well, aren't you two
26:26a sight for sore eyes?
26:29Oh, we missed you
26:30last night.
26:31Not as much
26:32as I miss you.
26:36I brought you
26:37a change of clothes
26:37for when you're
26:38released tomorrow.
26:39See, Trey,
26:40that is why
26:40your mommy
26:41is the best.
26:44Oh, God, I can't wait
26:45to get out of this gown.
26:48Hey, I hope your
26:50mom and Abe
26:51don't mind
26:51if we crash
26:52with them
26:52for a little bit.
26:53Are you kidding me?
26:54If it means
26:54that they get
26:55to spend more time
26:55with this little guy,
26:56they would have us
26:57stay there forever.
26:59And that mama
27:00wanted me to tell you
27:01that she's thinking
27:02about you.
27:05and she's not
27:06the only one.
27:09What do you mean?
27:12I ran into
27:14Joy Wesley
27:15in the square.
27:18Joy's back in town?
27:20Mm-hmm.
27:21I think she was just
27:22walking around
27:23with her daughter.
27:26Daughter?
27:29Wait, I hope
27:29you don't think
27:30that that's...
27:31No, no, I know
27:31that you didn't
27:32lie to me.
27:33But, uh,
27:35apparently
27:37Alex is the father.
27:42Wow.
27:43Yeah?
27:45Uh, well, still,
27:47I mean, I'm sure
27:48that was, uh,
27:49not very pleasant
27:50bumping into her.
27:52Oh, no.
27:52It was awkward
27:53to say the least.
27:55Uh, but
27:56I was probably
27:57a little bit
27:58colder to her
27:59than I needed
28:00to be.
28:01But I think
28:02just with everything
28:02that's going on
28:03with us right now,
28:05the last thing
28:06I need is to worry
28:07about her being
28:08in town, too.
28:21I'll be with you.
28:23Joy!
28:24Hi, Kate.
28:26Oh, it's so good
28:27to see you, honey.
28:29Oh.
28:30Oh.
28:33Oh.
28:35Who's this little cutie?
28:37This is my daughter,
28:39Kelsey.
28:41Oh.
28:42Kyriakas.
28:44Alex is the father.
28:54Oh, jeez.
28:55Your daughter's beautiful.
28:58See, I told you.
28:59Oh, my God.
28:59Look at that smile.
29:00Look at this.
29:05Don't mind me.
29:06Just looking for my day planner.
29:08Oh.
29:08Hey, Gabby.
29:09Hey.
29:10Okay, listen.
29:11I'd love to stay in chat,
29:12but I am meeting Bonnie
29:14for lunch.
29:15Alex, would you like
29:16to join us?
29:17We can tell her
29:19the big news together.
29:20Oh, I appreciate the offer,
29:22but I really need
29:23to go check on Stephanie.
29:24Okay.
29:25Melissa, call
29:26if you need anything, okay?
29:27I will, God.
29:28Yeah.
29:29I love you.
29:30Back at you.
29:33Bye.
29:34Bye.
29:35Oh.
29:37Hi.
29:37Hey.
29:40Is everything okay
29:41with Stephanie?
29:43No.
29:45Not really.
29:50So, Alex
29:51is your little girl's father.
29:54It's a long story.
29:55Hmm.
29:57What do you say
29:59I pour some coffee
30:00and we talk about it?
30:02Yes.
30:12A poor woman.
30:14I just keep thinking
30:16about how Sophia
30:18was once her sweet little baby.
30:21Yeah.
30:24I can't stop thinking about
30:28how much different
30:29all of our lives would be
30:30if I just hadn't
30:33backed out of the adoption
30:34initially without even thinking
30:36about how much
30:37it would hurt you,
30:39how much it would hurt Sophia.
30:40Johnny, stop.
30:41All right?
30:42You made your choice, yes,
30:45but everyone else
30:46made their choices too.
30:48And Sophia was offered help
30:50at Bayview,
30:51but she didn't accept it.
30:52So what she did next
30:53was on her.
30:54not on you
30:56or me
30:57or anyone else.
31:04Of course I feel terrible
31:06about what happened
31:07to Sophia.
31:08She was my friend.
31:11Yes, I know.
31:15You two were inseparable
31:16as kids.
31:19How many dinners
31:20did you have at our house?
31:22How many sleepovers?
31:26Sophia was so happy
31:28when you moved back to town.
31:30I hadn't seen her that excited
31:31in a very long time.
31:35She thought you were
31:36her best friend
31:39until you turned
31:41your back on her.
31:42But Mrs. Choi,
31:44she hurt people
31:45I care about.
31:47Holly and
31:49my Uncle John.
31:50She was sick.
31:53She needed your help,
31:55not your hate.
31:57She deserved compassion.
32:02I didn't know
32:03how badly she was hurting.
32:06None of us did.
32:11Yeah, you're right.
32:14I didn't see it either.
32:18And I will never
32:19forgive myself for that.
32:23But I will stand up
32:24for her now.
32:26And I will get justice
32:28for my daughter.
32:30So help me God.
32:49I want to be a part
32:50of Kelsey's life.
32:52It's just tough.
32:54You know?
32:55Stephanie,
32:56she didn't plan
32:57on any of this
32:58when we got married.
33:01And I always thought
33:03that I would be
33:03raising a kid
33:04in a house
33:05with a white picket fence
33:06and a husband
33:08who was,
33:08well,
33:09you know.
33:10Straight.
33:12Yeah.
33:13Yeah.
33:14But my point is,
33:16is that
33:17I'm no stranger
33:18to a
33:20complicated
33:21co-parenting situation.
33:23But I made things work
33:24with Bill
33:25and your brother.
33:26Yeah.
33:28I'm always lucky
33:28to have
33:29three parents
33:30who are willing
33:31to do anything for her.
33:33She is.
33:36And even though
33:37she and I clash
33:38at times,
33:39I love my daughter
33:41with all my heart
33:41and I don't want
33:43to miss
33:45any more time
33:46with her
33:46like I did
33:47when I was in prison
33:48and she was living
33:49with her dads.
33:52You already lost
33:54the first few months
33:55of Kelsey's life.
33:55Don't miss
33:56another second
33:57with her.
33:59I won't.
34:03You're going to be
34:04a great dad, Alex.
34:06I hope so.
34:10Well,
34:11if I can presume
34:12to give you
34:12a little advice.
34:13Oh, please.
34:14Go for it.
34:14Okay, so
34:16when it comes
34:17to co-parenting,
34:19it can't be
34:20about Joy
34:20or you
34:21or how Stephanie
34:22feel about her.
34:24It's all about
34:25that baby now.
34:33Yeah.
34:35I'll grab that coffee
34:37for you.
34:37Yeah.
34:39Stephanie.
34:40Hi.
34:41Hello, Joy.
34:43Joy.
34:44Alex said that
34:45you'd be sticking
34:46around, Salem.
34:47Yeah.
34:48I told him
34:49that I could always
34:50go back to New York,
34:51but he said
34:53he'd rather I
34:54stay in town
34:55so he could get
34:56to know Kelsey.
34:58I see.
35:00Look,
35:01I know this situation
35:02is weird
35:04to say the least,
35:07but I promise you
35:08all I want
35:09is what's best
35:10for my daughter.
35:15Would you like
35:15to say hello?
35:23Hello, Kelsey.
35:31Well, I, uh,
35:33I'm sure I'll see
35:34you both around.
35:34Oh.
35:35Are you leaving
35:35so soon I thought
35:36you were going
35:37to order something?
35:38No.
35:39I don't think it will.
35:41Okay.
35:52Hey, Phillip.
35:55How was your flight?
35:58Oh, I can't wait
36:00for you to come home.
36:01I've missed you so much.
36:05Oh.
36:06You have a surprise
36:07for me.
36:08Okay, so are you
36:10going to make me wait
36:11or can you tell me
36:12something good now?
36:18There she is.
36:20Oh.
36:21Are you busy?
36:22So I'm going to take
36:23my beautiful wife
36:24out to lunch.
36:29Is everything okay?
36:32Yeah.
36:34Everything's fine.
36:35Lunch sounds perfect.
36:37All right.
36:38Fantastic.
36:39What are you
36:39in the mood for?
36:42Anything but the pub.
36:44Not in the mood
36:44for chowder.
36:47How's the bistro sound?
36:49Bistro's perfect.
36:51I like that.
36:57So, I overheard
36:59your entire conversation.
37:01That's okay.
37:02At least I don't have
37:03to catch you up
37:04on much now.
37:05Right.
37:07So, where are you
37:08staying?
37:09At the Salem Inn
37:10for the time being.
37:11There's no place
37:12to stay with a baby.
37:14Do you know what?
37:15We can fix up
37:16your old room.
37:17We can get that
37:18fixed up for you
37:19and Kelsey to stay.
37:22That would be
37:23amazing.
37:25Well, of course.
37:26It's my pleasure.
37:28I miss having you around.
37:30And you might be
37:31just about the only one.
37:34I'm just trying to do
37:35what's right
37:36by my daughter.
37:38But the whole town
37:39is treating me
37:40like a pariah.
37:43well, what you are
37:45is a survivor.
37:47Like me.
37:49Life kicks us around
37:50and we do what we have
37:51to do to protect
37:52ourselves and
37:53our children.
37:54And if people don't get
37:55that,
37:56then they haven't
37:57known our struggles.
37:58And they haven't
37:59lived the lives
38:00we've lived.
38:09I could listen
38:10to him laugh
38:11all day long.
38:14Well, you just
38:15hang tight
38:16until tomorrow
38:17and you can spend
38:19all the time
38:20you want
38:20with our little guy.
38:23Or I could
38:25get changed.
38:27Go out there
38:28and see if they're
38:29I don't know.
38:30if I could talk
38:31them into
38:31cutting me loose
38:32early.
38:33If you think
38:34that I am
38:35letting you
38:36out of here
38:36against doctor's
38:37orders that
38:39What?
38:44What is it?
38:48My biopsy
38:51is scheduled
38:52for tomorrow.
39:01I don't know.
39:02I don't know.
39:16I don't know.
