05:49But now I know she was saying goodbye.
06:02It's all because of that two-faced little backstabber.
06:07What do you mean?
06:09My daughter would be with me right now if it wasn't for Holly Jonas.
06:23They found a backpack.
06:26It looks like Sophia jumped into the river.
06:32Oh, my God.
06:34I can't believe it.
06:38Me neither.
06:41Oh, my God.
06:45I mean, I hated Sophia for all the terrible things she did.
06:53Part of me has to admit that I'm relieved she's gone.
06:59My God, I never wanted it to happen like this.
07:05Lucky me, Ari had to fall for this loser.
07:09And you're sure she let him stay in her dorm when he was on the run from Vivian's goons?
07:14I caught him in there.
07:16That's when he told me that his name was Gage.
07:18Which, by the way, is actually the name of his five-year-old son.
07:23He has a kid.
07:25And that's just the tip of the iceberg.
07:27You know, I knew that he was hiding something, but this is worse than I could have ever imagined.
07:33What is?
07:35Well, I went to Wraith and he got me everything that he could find in this tonto.
07:41Is that legal?
07:43Of course it is.
07:45It's all public information.
07:47He just saved me scrolling through court documents.
07:50And possibly filing a foyer or two.
07:54Court documents?
07:55Mm-hmm.
07:56Yeah.
07:57Oh, and it's also worth noting that his son's mother died of an overdose.
08:04And also he's functionally illiterate.
08:06His rap sheet, it starts when he's a teenager in a gang.
08:10Wow.
08:11I...
08:11I don't know what the hell Ari sees in this guy,
08:14but you better believe that I'm going to make sure that she never sees him or it again.
08:18Oh, I believe you.
08:21But I think...
08:24What?
08:26Say it.
08:29That you'd be making a really big mistake.
08:43Here we go again.
08:45Here we go again.
09:04You're probably wondering where you are, why you're here.
09:11I'm going to do everything I can to help you settle in and get comfortable really soon.
09:17Okay?
09:20You're going to like it here.
09:23Salem is a nice place.
09:27You'll see.
09:43You'll see.
09:44It's basically time to get up anyway.
09:52What is it?
09:56The paternity test results.
09:59They're back.
10:03Ian?
10:07It's a match.
10:10I am Kelsey's father.
10:11I am Kelsey's father.
10:14I am Kelsey's father.
10:18I am Kelsey's father.
10:22I am Kelsey's father.
10:24I am Kelsey's father.
10:27Finally.
10:41Jeremy?
10:44is something wrong sorry the connection is is bad what
10:52you're moving back to new york wow i mean yeah if that's what you really want you too yeah safe
11:03troubles i guess things didn't turn out so well for jeremy and salem after all
11:18oh kelsey i really hope we have better luck
11:27stuff well it's not a surprise i mean we pretty much knew the joy
11:31that that her baby was yours so now we just need to figure out what to do
11:44julie oh uh i i'm sorry i'm sorry to intrude so early in the morning i apologize no it's fine
11:52um
11:53we were up is everything okay well no uh jeremy's gone that is he told me last night that he
12:04was
12:04going to new york i expected he'd be leaving a couple of days but he's gone he must have left
12:08at dawn certainly before i woke up and i was i was afraid that perhaps there was some urgency connected
12:16connected with this sudden departure did he say why he happened to go back to new york he said he
12:26thinks he had done the right thing for the wrong reason
12:33any idea what that means
12:37actually yeah i don't so you think it would be a mistake to keep this criminal away from my daughter
12:47i think it'd be a mistake to interfere
12:53are he's in college now she's headstrong kind of like her mom
13:00gabby you've got to know the more you tell her this guy is off limits the more she'll try to
13:05prove
13:05you can't control her life
13:10look no offense but you don't have kids which means that you don't get to weigh in on what i
13:15decide is best for my daughter okay okay have it your way i'm going back to sleep
13:29i don't know how to feel sophie and i used to be such good friends before she
13:35went off the deep end oh my god i i didn't mean it like that
13:43and just so you know holly you weren't the only one who had a big blowout with her yesterday
13:50you too i really came for her and i meant what i said but if i'd known that'd be the
14:00last time i'd ever
14:00never talk to her
14:09hey weren't you seeing anything
14:15are you okay
14:21do you know what sophia's been through this past year some of it not all
14:31first there was the pregnancy
14:35and then trying to find the baby at home
14:39and then the fallout
14:42the so-called friends turning on her one by one
14:47and then babe you
14:50and i tried to be there for her but she was just so full of pain
15:01i mean she must have felt so desperate and so alone
15:15i am so sorry
15:18it's terribly sad what she had to go through and what you went through too
15:29i gave her everything that i had
15:38and i know i'm not perfect but no matter what i love
15:47love my daughter
15:50i just pray to god she knew
15:56i'm sure she does
16:04commissioner hunter um
16:08i would like an honest answer to the question i'm about to ask you
16:12not the one you think i want to hear
16:36you think it's a good idea to talk about this before coffee
16:42it's fine
16:44but maybe julie and i should talk a little
16:48okay
16:49well maybe i'll go grab her some lattes
16:52that'd be great okay all right i'll be back soon okay
17:03i thought you were going to give jeremy a second chance stephanie
17:08i was
17:10i thought you were going to give her a second chance
17:11but that right thing that he told you he did for the wrong reasons
17:15i'm listening
17:19jeremy found out that joy wesley had given birth to alex's baby
17:24and he urged her to come back to salem
17:28all to break up my marriage
17:44philip
17:47philip listen
17:52i'm sorry
17:54i really am i
17:57i shouldn't have spoken to you like that
18:01i was just upset about re and
18:06and i was just offering advice
18:11trying to be helpful
18:15i know
18:19look i know i never raised a teenager
18:21her but i remember what it was like to be one
18:26do you
18:29of course i do
18:32but it's my job as her mom
18:34all i'm saying is
18:36before you try to control ari's life
18:39when was the last time you thought about what her life is like
18:44i think about ari all the time
18:47yeah as a mom
18:50but how would you have felt if you were her age and you had a thing for someone and your
18:55mom swooped in
18:56and said sorry you don't get to care about this guy
19:02well i would have been grateful to my mom for trying to protect me from getting hurt
19:08really
19:11i'm gonna go out on a limb and say
19:14when you were ari's age you were
19:22a handful
19:24i was gonna say free spirit
19:28yeah well i was a handful
19:32and i made a lot of big mistakes that i wish i hadn't
19:37but didn't you learn from them
19:44all i'm saying is
19:48maybe parents have to let their kids screw up sometimes
19:51so they learn they can survive screwing up
19:56the way you did
19:59possibly
20:02and like i said i know i never raised
20:05a teenager
20:08but there was a long time where i thought claire was my daughter
20:16and i've wanted to tell you this for a while
20:25i do have a kid out there
20:44alex
20:45Yes. Joy, hey. I'm glad I ran into you. I got the paternity test. Results back.
20:59Okay.
21:01I'm sure you already knew what they were.
21:04I do. So, now that you know that you are a dad, what now?
21:16I think that's something that we need to figure out together. Don't you?
21:31Is this horrible?
21:35Yes, it is.
21:36Yes. I mean, I hated what Sophia did, especially to you, but, I mean, it's not like she was always
21:47like that.
21:48She, I mean, last year when I thought she was pregnant, we just, we just shared a lot of life,
22:01you know?
22:01Well, I cared about her. I, I, I tried to do right by her, but I think my grandma was
22:13right.
22:15I, I, I think Sophia think that I was interested in her in a way that I wasn't, and then
22:26hurt her.
22:29I hurt her.
22:35She acted out because of what I did.
22:42She, because she thought that she and I had a chance, and we never did. We never did.
23:02Mrs. Choi, look, until we have concrete proof, you mean a body.
23:15Yes.
23:18Until then, there's always hope.
23:25But, given the evidence, and the amount of time that has passed, the chances of your daughter being alive, it's
23:35very slim.
24:04So, what is it you think we should do?
24:11Well, I know you have a life in New York, so I'm not going to ask you to stay here
24:15if you don't want to.
24:17And you'd prefer I not stay here?
24:19I didn't say that.
24:21I read between the lines.
24:23No, well, you read wrong.
24:25That's not what I meant.
24:32This is my daughter.
24:37It's our daughter.
24:40I want to spend as much time with her as I can.
24:44That's what I want, too.
24:47For Kelsey.
24:50And, to be honest, I don't really have much of a life in New York to go back to.
24:55It's kind of the reason I came to Salem in the first place.
25:00So, you're saying you want to stay in Salem?
25:06I do.
25:09If you are sure that you want us to stay.
25:17I'm sure.
25:22What about Stephanie?
25:25I doubt she'd feel the same.
25:35Did Jeremy actually say he wanted Joy to break you up with Alex?
25:40No.
25:42He didn't admit to that.
25:44But, Julie, right after Joy and the baby showed up, I went to him as a friend.
25:50And he kissed me.
25:53And that is how I know that he was hoping to use Joy and the baby to his own advantage
25:59with me.
26:04He shouldn't have kissed you.
26:06I don't condone that.
26:13But.
26:15But.
26:18Maybe Jeremy's motives were not the purest.
26:22But if Alex really is the father of this child.
26:25He is.
26:26We just found out.
26:27Well, then, isn't it better that she's in Salem?
26:31Where Alex can be a part of her life.
26:33Yes.
26:34It is better.
26:37He deserves to know his daughter.
26:42I just wish.
26:45It wasn't happening.
26:47Right now.
26:48I mean.
26:50It is such bad timing.
26:53You know?
26:55Oh, yeah.
26:56I know.
26:58A child coming into your lives under these circumstances changes everything.
27:03But Stephanie, sweetheart.
27:07Life doesn't flow along on our plans or our schedule.
27:14And sometimes your love is tested when things get messy.
27:24However, sometimes the challenge makes love grow stronger.
27:36Bell and I were doing IVF.
27:40But there was a mix-up at the clinic.
27:42And Mimi's surrogate ended up pregnant with my kid.
27:46Oh, my God.
27:49His name's Tyler.
27:53Mimi and I ended up signing over our parental rights to the surrogate.
27:57And he was given up for adoption.
28:00I had no idea.
28:03How could you?
28:05I didn't tell you.
28:09Anyway, I didn't raise Tyler.
28:11So you can't call me a parent the way you are to Ari.
28:19But I did try to find him.
28:22So it's not as though I don't care.
28:27And I still wonder what he's up to.
28:30Someday we might meet.
28:33Get to know each other.
28:43Philip, I never would have said what I said if I had known.
28:51I'm sorry.
28:52I didn't mean to hurt your feelings.
28:56I know.
29:00But you did.
29:12Tate, you cannot blame yourself for this.
29:15Seriously.
29:16You were just trying to be a good guy.
29:19I mean, you are a good guy.
29:22God, Sophia committed suicide because she was mentally ill.
29:26Okay?
29:27She was not in her right mind.
29:29Actually, Holly, you should have said that a different way.
29:33What?
29:34That she wasn't in her right mind?
29:35No, I mean that she committed suicide.
29:38It kind of implies that she committed a crime and stigmatizes it.
29:44But I guess you're right.
29:46So what do you say instead?
29:49My psych professor used to say it's died by.
29:52Right.
29:53Well, I'm really sorry I didn't say she died by suicide.
29:58And I never would have wanted that to happen for her.
30:02But Tate, this is not your fault.
30:04Or anyone's.
30:07Sophia did this to herself.
30:09No.
30:12You did this to her.
30:32I think Stephanie understands that we're all going to have to adapt.
30:40You've been raising Kelsey all on your own.
30:42That's not right.
30:45I owe you.
30:46I owe her support.
30:48Financially.
30:49Emotionally.
30:51Stephanie will get that.
30:54You told me outright that she didn't take this well.
31:00Joy, there's also a lot more going on between Stephanie and me that's not about you.
31:08Jeremy told you how we got married on Valentine's Day.
31:12You told me that you got married, but I didn't know it was on that day.
31:16Well, it was not half as romantic as it was supposed to be.
31:20Because the very next day, she was kidnapped.
31:23She was tied up in a freezing room.
31:26I didn't know if she was dead or alive.
31:30That is horrible.
31:32I am so sorry.
31:34It's now here we are, and she's trying to recover from that still.
31:38You know, and this is going to be hard no matter what.
31:43Oh, my God.
31:45I shouldn't have come.
31:47No.
31:48Joy, listen to me.
31:50If you go back to New York, I'm going to be worried sick about you and Kelsey.
31:58I'll be flying back and forth to see her.
32:02Missing her on the days that I can't be with her.
32:05And I think that would be much harder.
32:13Harder than having her and me in your face every day.
32:23Somehow I doubt that.
32:29My heart goes out to you, darling.
32:32And I'm just sorry that Jeremy had any hand in this.
32:36Well, I'm sorry that he went back to New York.
32:39I know that it meant a lot to you to have him here in Salem.
32:43Yeah, but I have Lonnie and the twins and Chad and his family.
32:50I'm glad you have a full house.
32:52I do.
32:54And, Julie, thank you for being so caring and understanding.
33:03I understand because I was in a similar situation once.
33:08We won't talk about it.
33:10No, you were?
33:17Once upon a time when I was a girl, I was mad about a boy.
33:24I had plans.
33:27We were engaged.
33:28And then...
33:31He married my best friend.
33:36Because she was pregnant with his baby.
33:41Oh.
33:45And, um...
33:47Did he come back to you?
33:55Oh.
33:59I shouldn't have even brought it up.
34:04There's a silver lining.
34:08If I'd gotten what I wanted then...
34:12I never would have met, Doug.
34:15I never would have had the 50 happiest years of my life.
34:22So, you just have faith, sweetheart.
34:28And if it was meant to be, it will be.
34:37You're worried about Ari, and I made this about me.
34:43And you have every right to be worried.
34:45That guy sounds like bad news.
34:48He is.
34:48I mean, I'm sure of it.
34:51All I wanted to say is, if my own rebellious youth is any guide,
34:56telling Ari not to see this guy is actually the best way to make sure that she keeps seeing him.
35:03I know you think I'm full of it.
35:05No.
35:05But...
35:07I don't.
35:09I think you're right.
35:19Mrs. Choi, I'm so sorry.
35:21Don't you tell me you're sorry.
35:25You drove Sophia to this.
35:27Mrs. Choi, this is not Holly's fault.
35:30Oh, no?
35:32Then why did I read all about what you did to her?
35:35And her suicide note?
35:37What?
35:40Holly's cruelty and bullying have made my life unbearable.
35:46I just want it all to end.
35:48Everyone will be better off without me.
35:51Oh, my God.
35:52What did you expect?
35:56After what you, what you, both of you girls,
35:59wrote about my daughter on your nasty little gossip site?
36:06I mean, what kind of a person tells a young girl who just came out of a mental institution that
36:11she's dead to you?
36:15She felt like she had no one in this world, and it's no wonder.
36:22You did everything you could to make sure that she was hated by everyone.
36:28She was a sick girl.
36:31She had a mental illness.
36:33And if any of you had any sympathy at all,
36:38they would not be...
36:43dragging the seal and river
36:46from my baby's dead body.
37:12I come bearing lattes.
37:15That took a while.
37:17Yeah.
37:20Three?
37:21Yeah, I got one for Julie.
37:23Where is she?
37:24She just left.
37:26Oh.
37:28Did you tell her what happened?
37:32How'd she take it?
37:33Well, now she understands why Jeremy left town so abruptly.
37:38Hmm.
37:43Are you as relieved about that as I am?
37:47You got me there.
37:52But I do think I should tell you something.
37:56What?
37:57It's the reason why it took so long.
38:00I ran into Joy at the pub,
38:03and I told her
38:04that we got the DNA test back.
38:08And?
38:16Wasn't that just the best news,
38:18my little angel?
38:22She decided to stay in Salem.
38:30Your daddy wants us to stay.
38:33He wants to get to know you better.
38:36This is turning out to be
38:37such a great day, isn't it?
38:48I'm sorry.
38:49I know that you were hoping to sleep in.
38:52Big day ahead, right?
38:55I still got time.
38:57My flight doesn't leave until later.
39:00Oh, right.
39:01A business trip.
39:03Did you tell me where you were going?
39:06Just a quick hop across the pond.
39:10Need to seal a deal in person.
39:12Hmm.
39:13Okay.
39:14Well.
39:16I mean,
39:18you don't have to sleep in, do you?
39:23Did you have something else in mind?
39:26No.
39:28Just, uh,
39:30thanks.
39:46You bullied my daughter
39:47into wanting to end her own life.
39:56Get over yourself, Sophia.
39:58So obvious you stopped taking your meds.
40:01And we all know
40:02you shouldn't have been let out of baby.
40:04You crazy bitch.
40:08Truthfully,
40:08part of me wishes you really were dead.
40:22And your evil words
40:25are right here
40:26in black and white.
40:28No, Mrs. Joy,
40:29I never meant...
40:30I don't care what you meant.
40:32I don't care.
40:36Cyberbullying is a crime.
40:38You are responsible
40:40for what happened, Sophia.
40:43And I will make sure that you pay.
40:53It's okay.
40:55It's okay.
40:59It's okay.
