00:03Here is the father.
00:09Salutee.
00:11Salutee.
00:19Lexi?
00:25Undecum.
00:27Is that?
00:29It can't be.
00:43Oh no.
00:46Alexandra.
00:55Why did we have to stop looking?
00:57Because I didn't want to get caught.
00:59Or lost.
01:00The tunnels are like a giant labyrinth.
01:01Well, if we'd searched just a little bit longer, we may have found the person we heard skulking around in
01:05the shadows.
01:06Well, I'm sorry, Leo, but we had to get out of there before anyone found us.
01:13Since all the dimeris are up at the wall reading, I don't understand.
01:16Like, who could that have been?
01:22What?
01:24What..
01:25what's it?
01:27What?
01:28Huh?
01:30What...
01:33what's it?
01:40What?
01:42Huh?
01:45Mh...
02:02Maxie, you should take a seat.
02:19Like sand through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.
02:36I need to get out of here before anyone misses me, and you need to leave.
02:41And do not tell anyone that we were snooping around the tunnels or any of your ridiculous
02:45theories.
02:46Uh, listen, Kit Kat, I have many desires, 8-pack abs, a luxury yacht I would call voyance,
02:52but a death wish is not one of them.
02:54So, for once in my currently very unexciting life, my lips are sealed.
03:12Her pulse is weak.
03:14I'll call an ambulance.
03:16It's...
03:17What's he?
03:21What's he?
03:25What's he?
03:28What's he?
03:30What's he?
03:32What's he?
03:32Is it...
03:33Is it really...
03:39It's me.
03:42It's him, sweetheart.
03:49Can...
03:50Can you...
03:50Can you hear me?
03:51What's he?
03:52What's he?
03:54What's he?
03:54This is who was in the pod, wasn't it?
03:57Answer me, you son of a bitch.
03:58Was she in the pod?
03:59Yes.
04:01The answer is yes.
04:09You didn't know about this.
04:11I couldn't say anything.
04:12We weren't...
04:13We weren't sure that she was gonna wake up, but now...
04:18Hang in there, Mom.
04:20It's gonna be okay, all right?
04:23That's you, Mom?
04:26I didn't know this was going to work.
04:29Okay, you know what?
04:32I need to interject a dose of reality.
04:38Has it occurred to any of you, um, given our family's rich history of impostors and doppelgangers that maybe she's
04:48not really Lexi?
04:50Considering your family's rich history of bringing people back from the dead, I think that it is entirely possible that
04:57it is her.
04:57Well, guess what, then? We need to make damn sure before we embrace this person with open arms.
05:07Just as we need to be sure about you.
05:10Excuse me?
05:11Won't I accept your claim that you're Stefan's widow, no questions asked?
05:15But seriously, Tony, that's what you're thinking about right now?
05:18E.J. just brought our sister back from the dead.
05:22Might have.
05:23I wasn't talking to you. I was talking to Tony.
05:25Well, it sounds more like scolding.
05:27Kristen, would you shut up?
05:28No, you shut up!
05:31I'm not here for the company, E.J.
05:34I am here for my inheritance.
05:37It just seems like it got a whole lot smaller since this one put her greedy little hands in there.
05:46Hey!
05:46You are unbelievable!
05:48Stop! Stop!
05:50You all need to stop fighting.
05:56My God, this is my mother.
05:58And she's alive.
06:19I heard sirens.
06:22The ambulance just left.
06:24Ambulance?
06:26What happened?
06:27And where is E.J.?
06:30Oh, don't worry.
06:32Your beloved boss is just fine.
06:35Not surprisingly, he disappeared during the hubbub of the paramedics carting away.
06:41Whoever she is.
06:43She?
06:44Or, uh, sister Lexi.
06:49If it really was Alexandra, she'd crash father's will rating.
06:55And I'm out of speaking.
06:57Huh.
06:58Kind of stole my thunder.
07:00Wait, wait a minute.
07:02Lexi, isn't she dead?
07:05Yeah.
07:06So we thought.
07:08It's safe to say that E.J.'s mystery medical experiment has finally come to light.
07:13Oh, God.
07:15Oh, my God.
07:16Are you really that surprised, Miss Green?
07:19After all, you do work for E.J., as does your brother, the disgraced doctor.
07:26Tell me, what is it you know about all of this?
07:41What the hell happened?
07:44Alexandra suddenly began exhibiting signs of a return to consciousness.
07:47But before I could check on her, I heard someone in the corridor.
07:51Who?
07:51I have no idea.
07:52But I had to stay hidden until they left.
07:56By the time it was safe to come out, your sister was gone.
08:00Lexi stumbled out of the tunnels into the middle of the bloody reception.
08:03Now everyone knows she's alive.
08:08I don't know anything about what goes on in E.J.'s private lab.
08:14And your brother?
08:18Mark signed an NDA, so he couldn't tell me about his work even if he wanted to.
08:22I highly doubt he knew anything about this.
08:27Look, obviously E.J. was up to something with the pod.
08:30I just, I thought it was...
08:34We need to go to the hospital, okay?
08:37Yep, go on ahead.
08:39You're not gonna come?
08:41Hmm.
08:42Hmm.
08:43I strongly suspect this is a trick E.J. cooked up to get, uh, more of father's fortune.
08:51So you know, I'm gonna stay right here.
08:54Hmm.
08:54Hmm.
08:55Me too.
08:56Um, I need to feel honor in.
08:58And then I have some business I have to take care of.
09:06Well, I'm gonna look for E.J.
09:07Well, I'm sure he's down in the tunnels.
09:12I wouldn't go looking for him if I were you.
09:15I guarantee he's blowing a gasket trying to figure out how Alexei got loose.
09:30Kayla.
09:31Kayla.
09:31Hey.
09:32Theo.
09:33What's up?
09:34The ambulance just brought to my mom.
09:36How is she?
09:38Your mom?
09:39You mean, you mean Paulina?
09:40No.
09:41Lexi.
09:53Now it all makes sense.
09:55Why E.J. bought the hospital.
09:57And I'm sure Rolf's involved in all this, of course.
10:01Do you know, did they come up with some new cryonics technology?
10:05I mean, is Lexi the only patient that they were experimenting on?
10:09I'm sorry, Kayla.
10:10I don't have any answers.
10:12I just found out about this myself.
10:13All I know, I might have my wife back.
10:18Theo's mother.
10:20Can you help her, please?
10:24Well, I will do my very best.
10:26Well, I will do my very best.
10:27Why don't the two of you wait in the visiting room and as soon as I know anything, I'll come
10:30back and tell you, all right?
10:34This is not how I wanted Lexi revealed to the family.
10:39I wanted a carefully controlled and elegant reintroduction.
10:44Instead, I got something out of a zombie film.
10:47Do not miss the forest for the trees.
10:50We have made scientific history.
10:52This is quite possibly the greatest medical achievement of all time!
10:59Now, I need to monitor her and run extensive tests.
11:03She must get her back down here right away.
11:04Too late.
11:06After she made her entrance, she collapsed and was rushed off to the hospital.
11:12To be poked and prodded by a bunch of idiots?
11:14I have to get down there now.
11:16I'm sure those idiots will have a million questions for me and I have to do damage control.
11:25Why am I not surprised to see you here?
11:27Is it true?
11:28Did E.J. bring your sister back from the dead?
11:32Apparently.
11:33I'm like...
11:34I knew it.
11:35I knew he had something major going on in that lab.
11:37My God.
11:38This isn't just a scoop.
11:39This is a triple scoop with a Pulitzer on top.
11:42I see an entire shelf full of awards in my future.
11:44Theo, all you are going to see is an unemployment check if you publish one word about my sister.
11:51Chadwick!
11:51No, no, I mean it.
11:53Now, until we know exactly what the hell is going on here,
11:57if Lexi's return is real or not,
12:00you do not tweet, post, speak, or even whisper about any of this.
12:05You got it?
12:07Fine.
12:08If and when this does check out, I get the exclusive for the Spectator.
12:13If and when?
12:14Front page above the fold.
12:16Chadwick, I'm sorry. I'm being a little insensitive.
12:19How are you holding up?
12:22I mean, part of me thinks that this is a drink of truth.
12:26And another part of me thinks that this is an absolute nightmare.
12:44How long have you known?
12:49A while.
12:53So, is this the reason that you decided to step away from DiMera?
13:03Yeah.
13:06Mom never wanted me to have anything to do with the company.
13:09I didn't want her to wake up and find me running it.
13:16I wish you had trusted me.
13:19This is too big a secret for you to carry alone.
13:24Thank God you're both all right.
13:27I know you told me as much on the phone,
13:30but you were calling from an ambulance.
13:32Someone must have been hurt badly.
13:36Otherwise, why would you have asked me to meet you here?
13:41Oh my God, is it...
13:43Is it Janelle? Is it Lonnie? One of the kids?
13:46I hope they're all fine. They're all fine.
13:48Well, then who was it? Who...
13:49Who is it? Who was one in?
13:55We think...
13:57It's Lexi.
14:03Hey, did you share the news with Anna?
14:06Yes, she's in a state of shock.
14:09Why?
14:11She's been down this road before.
14:14She thought you were dead for...
14:18A decade...
14:19Before, uh...
14:21She found out that Rolf's magic serum brought you back.
14:25What can I say? Anna's a very sensitive soul.
14:28She took the news hard.
14:30Speaking of news...
14:32Any word from Chad?
14:35No.
14:40You know, it's getting a little stuffy in here.
14:43I'm gonna go get myself some fresh air.
14:50Well, this has been a real blast, but I think I should get going.
14:54I'll be in touch on how I can collect my share of the family millions.
14:59Or is it billions?
15:01With a B.
15:03Hmm.
15:04I would call a gold digger with a G.
15:07Oh.
15:08You're not really gonna give me a hard time about this, are you?
15:11Oh, he's certainly not gonna hand over Stefan's share of father's estate.
15:17Without proof that you are really his widow.
15:20Oh, I will get proof.
15:22I have a sworn statement from Yvonne stating that he saw Vivian sign Stefan's signature on our divorce papers.
15:29Hmm.
15:30Well, we'll conduct our own investigation.
15:33Have an expert determine whether Stefan's signature on those papers was forged.
15:39Theo is the executor of your father's will and said that he will take my claim seriously.
15:45If you and E.J. plan on fighting this, I'll see you in court.
15:49So, please, it doesn't have to go that far.
15:55What do you mean?
15:58Well, Gabriella, I have a proposition for you.
16:15What kind of proposition?
16:18It has to do with DiMera.
16:22Last time you propositioned me about DiMera, I ended up with a knife in my back.
16:26You used me to get dirt on Titan and undo the merger and install Theo.
16:33Who's decided to step aside.
16:36Okay.
16:38So now you have Johnny.
16:40Well, John did a fair job as a stand-in.
16:44But I never expected him to stay on permanently.
16:49And my reasons for not choosing him in the first place have not changed.
16:56Johnny is a filmmaker.
16:57He's not a businessman.
16:59He's simply not qualified.
17:01Doesn't have the required experience.
17:07Okay.
17:08So what does any of this have to do with me?
17:11Well, you are highly qualified and experienced.
17:15And you've done this job before, in fact.
17:20So.
17:22How would you like to be the next CEO of DiMera?
17:33Ok.
17:3512 kms...
17:37...
17:37...
17:44...
17:45...
17:45...
17:46...
17:46...
18:01Mom!
18:08No!
18:13Just...
18:14Go away!
18:22Leave me alone!
18:31Lexi?
18:34You saw her?
18:38You have news.
18:41Should I go?
18:41No, no, no. Please.
18:44Please stay.
18:48How is she?
18:50Um, she's stable.
18:52And she's asleep.
18:55The neurologist is running some tests.
19:00Is it...
19:02Is it really, Lexi?
19:05I don't know.
19:07Um, I will run a DNA test as soon as I get a chance.
19:11How much will she remember?
19:12She didn't recognize me before.
19:16Well, Theo, you have changed quite a bit since the last time your mother saw you.
19:21We'll just have to wait till she wakes up to see.
19:24We'll see.
19:26Wake up.
19:28We don't know that either.
19:30But you are welcome to sit with her.
19:34You should go, Dad.
19:42You should, you should go and be with your wife.
20:00You should go.
20:05You should go.
20:06Ager.
20:08There you are.
20:09Did you get my text?
20:10I did.
20:11I guess I have some explaining to do, but first I need to see how my sister is.
20:16Then she's stable.
20:17That's all I know so far.
20:19Look, we need to keep a tight lid on this.
20:21I don't want any information getting out.
20:23What do you need me to do?
20:25Nothing.
20:27Excuse me?
20:29If you're out of this, okay?
20:31I don't know what kind of illegal activity you're involved with,
20:35but do not drag her into this.
20:43When did you find out?
20:44Well, uh, weeks ago.
20:51I'm, uh, I'm sorry, Paulina.
20:56I couldn't say anything, but I wanted to warn you.
21:01That's okay.
21:03When you said part of why you decided to leave DiMera
21:07was that you were thinking of your mother.
21:10I had a feeling that you might know.
21:14What?
21:20I knew too, Theo.
21:24I knew.
21:27Lexi was alive.
21:43Oh, my God.
21:48Oh, my God.
21:52I missed you.
22:07Chad, it's okay.
22:08E.J.'s not asking you to do anything illegal.
22:10Of course I'm not.
22:12And instead of holding accusations at me,
22:15perhaps you could, I don't know,
22:17express some gratitude for my having brought back a sister.
22:20If that's what you did, then I am grateful.
22:23But bringing Lexi back from the dead
22:25is going to disrupt a lot of people's lives, E.J.
22:28No good deal.
22:30No, no, no, no, no, no.
22:31It's not some act of charity, okay?
22:33You played God.
22:35And despite what you may think,
22:37that is not who you are.
22:41Now, there will be repercussions for this,
22:43and I sure hope you're ready for them.
22:49Where did you go?
22:56Damn it, where are you?
22:59Rip the railing?
23:01Just in case.
23:03But please check for fingerprints.
23:28You can't come back.
23:31You're dead.
23:35Kristen?
23:36What?
23:38Are you all right?
23:40Of course I'm not all right, Dr. Rolf.
23:45Or should I call you Dr. Frankenstein?
23:49I couldn't help but overhear you.
23:52Alexandra is not dead.
23:54She is very much alive.
23:57I should have known that you and my brother were working together.
24:02You are both monsters.
24:04Why such anger?
24:06Your sister's return is cause for jubilation.
24:09She's in your lives once again, ready to resume her place in your hearts.
24:15Schmaltz, Schmaltz is not a good look on you, Rolf.
24:19Whoever or whatever you and my brother brought back,
24:24it is only going to cause pain and misery to the people who loved Lexi.
24:34I'm ready for whatever comes my way.
24:36Look, I know this is overwhelming.
24:39But once you get past the initial shock,
24:41you'll see that Lexi's return will bring our family nothing but joy.
24:45Ah, how's my sister?
24:47She's still asleep.
24:49Can we see her?
24:50Abe is with her right now.
24:52We still have a lot of tests to run,
24:54both to assess her health and verify her identity.
24:57I was just telling Chad that I know that this all comes as a huge surprise.
25:02Mm, to put it mildly, yes.
25:04When are we going to know if it's really Lexi?
25:07As soon as I have a chance to run a DNA test.
25:10I can tell you right now that the results will prove
25:14that she is none other than Alexandra Carr.
25:17Um, E.J., can I speak with you privately, please?
25:21What?
25:25I knew that you did not buy this hospital to help other people.
25:29That you bought it to help yourself.
25:32God knows how many laws you broke in that lab of yours.
25:36Medical research isn't illegal.
25:38Oh, technically, maybe you're right inside the legal lines.
25:42But what you did is immoral and depraved.
25:46To use a human who might actually be your own sister as a guinea pig.
25:52Not to mention you did an Enron around every rule and regulation
25:56that's put in place for patient safety.
26:00And we all know why you did it.
26:02So that you could sell your little miracle drug on the black market.
26:08You understand my position perfectly because you were in it not too long ago.
26:15I'm sure you recall the dire straits your brother Beau was in when Bercevix was stolen
26:19and why it's sometimes necessary to bend the rules or even break them to save someone you love.
26:27So spare me your superiority and get to work.
26:32In what universe do you really think that you can speak to me that way?
26:36Oh, I don't know.
26:37The one in which I'm your boss.
26:41And your only job right now, Dr. Johnson, is to take care of my sister.
26:52I thought you wanted family running, DiMera.
26:56Oh, Stefan's widow.
26:58You're still family.
27:02And you have a very impressive track record as a businesswoman.
27:07You built Gabby Sheet.
27:08You've expanded internationally.
27:11You're a force.
27:14Thanks, I guess.
27:17But I thought that you didn't believe me about Stefan.
27:20Well, I believe you.
27:22I just don't think you can prove it.
27:25Oh, I will prove it.
27:27But you do your own investigation since you insist on that.
27:30And I do know that E.J. put Rita on the case,
27:33so she'll just find that what I'm claiming is true.
27:37Maybe.
27:38But how long is that going to take?
27:41Weeks?
27:42Months?
27:43Maybe years before you even see a dime at Father's fortune.
27:48It'll be worth the wait.
27:50Gabby.
27:52We both know you're not a very patient woman.
27:56You want your piece of the pie now.
28:01That's why I'm offering you this on a silver platter.
28:14I couldn't help but overhear Kayla, Ramey, and you.
28:18I don't just know.
28:20It's to be expected that people will have questions about all this.
28:25And I have one for you.
28:30Lexi's doctor mentioned hearing someone in the tunnels earlier before she emerged.
28:38During that time, I noticed that you weren't at the will reading.
28:42I assume you were just setting up the reception.
28:46I was handling some last-minute details.
28:51Right.
28:53And while you were doing that, did you see or hear anyone?
29:01Do you have any idea who the person in the tunnels could have been?
29:13I was getting too close to what EJ was doing in that lab, so he showed me his project.
29:24And I told him, as mayor, it was my job to shut him down.
29:29And he offered me another option to get what I'd seen and just keep my mouth shut.
29:39He put that choice on you.
29:41There was no choice?
29:43Lexi's, as much as I wanted to slap the smug out of EJ, I couldn't stop his work.
29:53I could never do that to you and your father.
29:57How is she?
29:58I have nothing to report, but I want to see if you go to the lab with me and give
30:03a DNA sample to compare it to Lexi's.
30:05Absolutely.
30:07Will you be okay here?
30:09Yes, yes.
30:10I'll be fine.
30:16Everything's going to work out the way it's supposed to.
30:31It's been, it's been almost, almost 15 years since we lost you, I, looking at you on the hands,
30:52since no time has ever really passed.
31:04Is this, is this really happening?
31:18I've held his hands so, so many times.
31:26I've held his hands so, so many times, I've held it for comfort, for affection,
31:45and partnership, and partnership, and companionship, and love.
32:04I, I, I, I, I, I, I never thought I'd hold his hands again.
33:12I should have you arrested for trespassing.
33:13Oh, relax.
33:15As an esteemed member of the Fourth Estate, I asked Kat to ask you for an invitation to your father's
33:21will reading.
33:21You declined.
33:22Ergo, I was just looking for alternative access.
33:25In other words, you snuck into my home.
33:27I should bring your scorn in.
33:29Take it easy.
33:30Take it easy.
33:31He works for me.
33:31He was just doing his job, okay?
33:33Perhaps a bit overzealously, yes.
33:36That's enough of the threats, all right?
33:39Leave him alone.
33:44Let me get this straight.
33:46You're offering me the CEO position.
33:49In exchange for what?
33:51You expect me to drop my claim on Stefan's share of his father's estate?
33:57Not at all.
33:59My offer stands, regardless of the outcome of your claim.
34:03Okay.
34:04Damaris only make offers if there's something in it for them.
34:08And besides, Damaris, Titan's biggest rival.
34:13Oh, don't tell me you're afraid to outcompete your paramour.
34:18You didn't hesitate to sell him out when you placed a bug in Philip's office.
34:23That's how we found out that he used forged documents to steal half of Titan.
34:30You know, the whole reason why his whole family company could go under.
34:38That was all before I fell in love with him.
34:43Oh, my, my.
34:47Gabriela Hernandez.
34:50She has a heart.
34:54And you...
34:55And your remarks are doing nothing to win this over.
35:03Thank you for the offer.
35:05But my answer is now.
35:15Whew.
35:16Chadwick to the rescue.
35:18Leo, you should not have taken the blame with E.J.
35:21I had it under control.
35:22Oh, E.J. already hates me and knows that I'm always snooping.
35:26He doesn't need to know you were snooping, too.
35:28I was happy to protect you.
35:34Oh, so I'm going to need to return that favor.
35:38Oh.
35:40You took a mighty risk going on that sword.
35:43What's E.J. going to do?
35:44Kill me?
35:46Let's hope not.
35:51That was quite the defense of Leo Stark.
35:55Mark, did you put him up to prying into my affairs?
36:01Are you really that surprised that he wanted in on the rating?
36:05The entire international business world wants to know what's in father's will.
36:11And now they're going to be even more curious when news about Lexi gets out.
36:14Which it won't until I know she's made a complete recovery.
36:18I hope you've made that clear to your reporter.
36:22Yeah.
36:22Yeah, I did.
36:26I guess I know why Theo didn't think Abby was in the pod.
36:30Huh?
36:36Tell me the truth.
36:36Is that really Lexi?
36:41It really is.
36:46I can't believe he did this.
36:50I just finished what father spotted.
36:56Have we ever found Abigail?
37:02I mean, could you, is it even possible?
37:14Lexi was preserved shortly after she died.
37:20Have any chance of success?
37:24That has to happen.
37:28Yeah.
37:29I'm so sorry.
37:36I'm surprised you are not happy to see your sister.
37:44When I learned that my mother was alive,
37:48after all the years that I thought she was dead,
37:52I was over the moon.
37:54See?
37:54No, you don't see.
37:57My mother didn't die.
37:59I just thought she did.
38:02And when we were reunited,
38:04she was a living, breathing person.
38:09Not some reanimated corpse.
38:13Alexandra was never a corpse.
38:16Oh.
38:16Oh, so what?
38:18She was in a limbo state?
38:20Lingering between life and death?
38:24Waiting for her return to the family fold
38:28and screw up everyone's lives?
38:30Is that it?
38:35Rolf, you threw a large rock into a river
38:40and completely ignored the effects the ripples have on the living.
38:49So, no.
38:53No, Dr. Rolf.
38:55The dead need to stay dead.
39:04It's me.
39:07It's me.
39:12I'm here.
39:16I'm right here.
39:27I love you.
39:29I love you, Ava.
39:35I love you, too.
39:43I love you, too.
39:52I love you, too.
