01:11so uh the answer about what the big guy left behind be patient uncle you'll find out soon enough
01:24home sweet home it's good to be back isn't it for yet another occasion related to your father's
01:34passing i don't think so i mean this has got to be the longest farewell tour of all time
01:39elton john's got nothing on stefano damara i know darling he's been going on for decades but i promise
01:45you this will be the very last goodbye tom all i know is that we are missing the chelsea flower
01:53show for this nonsense really i'm sure a hefty inheritance will do something to assuage your
02:02disappointment well you have a point and this is not yet another occasion the damara family
02:08it's a vitally important one it is the passing of the torch from one generation to the next
02:16yes but is passing on any of this really a good thing
02:34herald told me there might be critters out here
02:41what's new kitty cat
02:45thank you for meeting me before the reading
02:50i'm honored to have been invited you meant a great deal to father likewise
02:57so tell me what do you know about this codicil he's added to his will
03:02you don't mind talking in front of her no i don't she's as in the dark as i am
03:09father grew up that codicil well after the last time i saw him
03:13the only person who knows anything about that time is dr rolfe if you want answers talk to him
03:21and not you rita his trusted girlfriend
03:26rosalind russell i am not and i certainly wasn't working with cary grant
03:32but on a note of pure self-interest here's hoping the good doctor didn't persuade your father to leave
03:39everything to him i'm moving to cash out and return to bokeh bokeh uh huh
03:45you'll be running that place before your first b-side bernardo sir
03:49i don't run places i elevate them that you do with flair
03:57and now back on topic oh i take it dr rolfe won't be making an appearance at the reading
04:04oh heavens no no he still wants for questioning about hiring that crackpot owen kent's
04:12so he just needs to remain hidden for now focus on lexi's recovery
04:31oh boy must be my lucky day i was thinking the same thing i just came from seeing rachel
04:40she was so pleased that i was there well she wouldn't have been if she knew what you did
04:47i love my granddaughter with all my heart
04:51how dare you try to keep me from her
05:02like sand through the hourglass so are the days of our lives
05:18you couldn't possibly have thought that you would get away with revoking my recitation
05:23because rachel needs her family right now more than ever
05:27no you just know everything don't you
05:32i know that rachel is young and she's developing the tools to be able to decipher right from wrong
05:41it's always good versus evil with you i mean just a simplistic way to see the world
05:48you know i'm really hoping that she inherits her father and john's kindness gentleness generosity and
05:58and not all the evil that runs in your side of the family
06:04well i'm sorry we had to meet like this yet again and you know father he loves to make his
06:10family uncomfortable
06:12more like squirm
06:15so before the festivities get underway i was hoping to have a word with thea in private so
06:19if you're an honor don't mind
06:21of course i heard cook's got quite the spread you want to check it out
06:25sure you lead the way and then i will dash off and freshen up upstairs
06:34now that it's just us
06:38i'd like to know why you decided to resign from gamera
06:49what are you doing here leo bird watching here today of all days i like you am a multitasker and
06:57since you failed to score me an invite to stefano's will reading i invited myself to watch birds
07:02amongst other things from a respectful remove you are trespassing please i work for chadwick and by
07:08tomorrow he may own this joint oh so chad told you you could be here well i would have asked
07:13him but
07:13i didn't want to put him in an awkward position with the family trust me he'd be totally cool with
07:17it i highly doubt that chad does not want you airing his family's dirty laundry will there be dirty
07:23laundry look chad's got enough going on he doesn't need you causing trouble
07:30so interesting what how you seem more concerned with protecting my boss than your own
07:43johnny took control of dimera out of necessity
07:47the more kidnapped asked him to stay on until you got over your injuries which you have now i really
07:53would like to know why did you decide not to return i told you on the phone yeah i know
08:01the ceo wasn't
08:02your position but now that we're face to face i'd like to have a bit more of an explanation
08:12yeah you've been doing a wonderful job everyone was impressed with your leadership
08:20johnny's doing fine johnny's doing fine johnny's got us embroiled in a lawsuit with titan well i don't
08:28think it's entirely his fault look if i wanted johnny to be the ceo i would have offered him the
08:32position
08:32in the first place that's what his father wanted for his son to run the company and now
08:40he's gotten his wish since you've stepped down tell me
08:49what did my brother hold over your head to make you quit
08:54it's a good thing you've kept off him so he can monitor lexi i know he's very concerned that your
09:01sister's recovery seems to have plateaued his optimism that she'll awaken seems to decrease by the day
09:12what happens if this grand investment of yours doesn't pay off as you'd hoped and
09:18we're left with a product that can't be sold we keep going
09:29we'll keep experimenting until we're successful
09:34we have a shortage of patience that's for sure
09:44yes
09:48i see thank you for letting me know what is it our contact at the airport says a charter plane
09:59has
09:59landed in salem down from alimania
10:15brady and john
10:17please they're not exactly saints i know they're flawed but they do have rachel's best interest at
10:24heart so do i and nothing and no one is more important to me than my daughter
10:33hate me all you want but you know damn well that's true
10:39you think you and yours are so much better than me and mine don't don't kid yourself
10:45marlena your family tree has quite a few bad apples on it as well
10:53after rachel was conceived it was out of love unlike johnny
11:00daughter samantha she was she was great
11:06and in spite of that horrific tragedy
11:11johnny is loved by both of his parents
11:15maybe
11:18you think my daughter deserves to be locked up in a mental institution what about johnny marlena what about
11:27him
11:27i mean after he learned of his not so immaculate conception
11:35he found a gun and nearly shot ej too
11:40well that was
11:43could have been a terrible tragedy
11:46come on marlena
11:49you loathe ej just as much as i do
11:52i mean
11:54he hurt everyone you care about your children your grandchildren
12:01don't pretend you wouldn't be thrilled if he ceased to exist he wouldn't exist if it weren't for you
12:10what are you talking about
12:12you were so desperate to hang on to john after your miscarriage that
12:18stefano paid susan to have a child
12:23put it in your arms and you would pass it off as your own
12:29that was ej
12:32and everything he's done

17:45you haven't eaten anything i can't too nervous you know you're gonna do just fine and remember i am
17:56always right here with you you always have been dead
18:01your mother is the reason i came today

18:18okay she's watching she's watching your son
18:24and she is so proud of the man you've become
18:44i see you found your work wife hello anna hello i was just filling and reading about the

21:02yeah uh could everyone please take their seats we will get started momentarily
21:09now we may have an additional guest it's come to my attention that a private jet from alamania has
21:15touched down here this afternoon now it could be may in but it's most likely her son dimitri
21:22well perhaps we should just lock the doors or tunnels
21:27oh you never know what's creeping around down there
21:57what are you doing here i told you to stay out of trouble i'm following my bliss more
22:02specifically a lead even more specifically that goblin woman who scares the living but jesus out of me
22:06make sense after you hightailed it out of the garden e.j's inchwash rita popped up out of nowhere
22:13and i discovered that she did not in fact emerge from the underworld but from an entrance to these
22:16tunnels which you should not have used oh yeah what's your excuse i was getting wine for the gathering
22:24upstairs i don't think so kitty cat i think you're here for the same reason i am just by on
22:32ej
22:43i would like to welcome everyone to the reading of my grandfather's last will and testament
22:51without further ado let's begin
22:57i stefano dimira being of sound mind know there must be a great deal of skepticism among those
23:04assembled today how you ask is this will reading going to be different from every other the answer
23:12is this will is real and final i am gone and therefore it is imperative to pass on my legacy
23:22to my
23:22successors as you all know i was named executor of no no's estate not everybody's happy about that
23:31he explains his decision as for theodore me having seen the fine upstanding man my grandson has become
23:41i believe he will be honest and fair and not abuse his power as executor based on self-interest or
23:48vengeful feelings towards his siblings that's ridiculous no it's not
23:54that wasn't me saying that it's in the text here father knew exactly what to say
24:03elvis i fear you're too much like me which makes me both proud and careful don't gloat kristin
24:12haha touche flower oh we all know that he's dead but why do i get the feeling that he's still
24:19here
24:32and now onto my estate it's taking forever i mean maybe this is stefano's last trick making us sit
24:43here and listen to this until the end of time oh don't worry lovey we'll be going to london for
24:49that flower show before you even know it my estate will be equally divided among my offspring the
24:59inheritance of anyone who is deceased shall go to their beneficiaries if there are no beneficiaries as
25:05the case for uh andre renee stephen jake and peter their apportion will return to the estate to be
25:14divided equally among my living heirs anyone who has not laid claim in a timely manner shall forfeit
25:21their right to inherit in addition to my vast wealth the estate includes among other holdings the demure
25:30mansion commercial real estate the archipelago of islands maison blanche and meliswan all are held in
25:40equal shares by their heirs and can be sold but only if there is a unanimous consent like that will
25:48never
25:56happen
