00:07yeah I was gonna say the same thing well let me look at you you're a sight for
00:16sore eyes oh I needed that too how are you doing it's been a hell of a last 24
00:31hours hey hi there I thought you'd be done with your ship by now yeah just about to be
00:44but then I have to head to the dojo to teach oh your chem final how'd that go I bet
00:52you nailed it
00:54no more like failed it
01:11Liam oh hey Ari actually we're almost closing up here for the day so
01:18didn't come to buy a book I came to talk to you
01:32hey Rumi you're back finally will reading went longer than expected today apparently so
01:42I've been dying for the lowdown so how was it I'm guessing that Demeris must have been pretty
01:49shocked by your little bombshell that shock was nothing compared to what was coming
01:56what do you mean what happened well believe it or not uh mine wasn't the biggest bombshell that
02:04was dropped today hi hi there you are oh what a day I am glad to be home how was
02:20your day it was a
02:22eventful oh yeah why's that well uh Kristen coerced me into going to Stefano's will reading oh I thought
02:35you were determined not to go to that I was determined and then I regret that I changed my mind
02:54like sand through the hourglass so are the days of our lives
03:12so how was it what did uh Stefano leave you oh a chess set a chess set hmm well actually
03:25he he left it to
03:26John and all he left on the chess set was a pawn and a queen okay well that is deeply
03:39creepy and also must have been very tough having that request left to you and dad
03:47so where is this chess set oh I lifted over Demeris yeah didn't even stay for the the full will
03:57reading
04:00I don't want anything from that man in my house I don't want him in my head at all
04:09he's gone he's gone he's gone he's gone and we never have to think about playing those games of his
04:16ever again
04:21Lexi Carver is alive that's no bombshell that's the entire artillery I know right
04:30so she was there at the reading I saw her with my own eyes I mean well assuming that it
04:38was her
04:38because you never know what to believe when it comes to the Demeris considering that EJ conjured up a
04:44doppelganger not so long ago that I 100% believe he was my brother good point uh look uh whether
04:54Lexi
04:54is alive or this is just some crazy hoax I need you to keep it to yourself okay
05:02uh I promised Tony that I would abide by the family wishes to keep it quiet for now
05:08well given that I am part of the family whether they like it or not
05:14don't worry mom's the word but even with the now undead Lexi showing up
05:21I take it that Demeris are still pretty pissed about having to share their ginormous pile of money
05:26with you huh yeah they didn't jump for joy bet not so when do you get your inheritance
05:41hmm uh honestly maybe never
05:49so how did your visit with Rachel go pretty good
05:55although I think I I needed it a little more than she did
06:01I hooked her so hard I think she almost passed out
06:05so I can relate
06:07I did the same thing with Victoria when I put her down for an app earlier
06:14I assume you didn't tell Rachel about Sophia
06:19no
06:21Dr. Gregory thought it would be best if we wait to find out
06:25what exactly happened to Sophia then I'll tell Rachel
06:30she also thinks it would be a good idea if Kristen was there when I told her
06:36I agree with that
06:38if I'm going to tell Kristen that she can't make unilateral decisions about her daughter
06:43I guess it has to go both ways don't you think
06:46I do
06:47I don't think it would be a good idea
06:47really
06:50co-parenting thing isn't exactly easy is it
06:54no
06:55even when it's under the best of circumstances
06:59yours and Ryan
07:02clearly are not
07:09hey
07:11Holly
07:13I am sure that you didn't fail
07:16how could you you've been studying non-stop for weeks
07:20well it doesn't matter how much studying you do Tate
07:22you sit down and everything just flies out of your head
07:27I couldn't concentrate at all
07:29I just kept thinking about Sophia jumping into the Salem River and then her mom blaming me for it
07:36and then
07:36I
07:37I
07:38I get it
07:39I get that you couldn't concentrate
07:41I've been having trouble focusing myself
07:44but you you knew all of this stuff cold you had to have been operating on autopilot
07:49I'm sure that you did so much better than you think you did
07:53no I didn't
07:54I didn't even finish the last half of the test
07:57and it's worth 25% of my grade so I'll be lucky if I even finish with a C for
08:02the semester
08:02I think you did a lot better than that
08:05I think you're overreacting right now and you're overthinking this
08:07no I swear I'm not Tate
08:09this is a disaster this could screw up my life forever
08:22Ali
08:24you're overreacting right now
08:25but would you stop saying that
08:27okay what would you like me to say
08:29would you like me to say that your life is over
08:31you're right
08:32because you failed one chem final
08:36you just don't get it
08:37okay and that's because you're not trying to get into elite grad school like I am
08:41I mean you barely studied for your finals
08:46oh yeah that's because my finals weren't tests
08:50they were projects and I did them
08:53it's not like I didn't care about my grades
08:55but it's not the same Tate
08:57you don't have to get good grades
08:59I mean you're literally dropping out of school
09:01yep I'm dropping out for now
09:03but I might go back later
09:05it's not a forever thing I could change my mind
09:07oh what for exercise science
09:10whatever my point is none of this matters to you like it does to me
09:13okay maybe it shouldn't matter this much to you
09:16it's just a chem final for God's sake
09:18it's not like your life is over
09:22yeah you're right
09:23it's not
09:25not like Sophia's
09:31look I know you said you're no good for me
09:33but the thing is
09:36that is not your decision to make
09:38yeah well it's not yours either
09:40how can you say that
09:41is it true you
09:43you don't know anything about me Ori
09:45sure I do
09:48I know you took a plea deal to stay out of jail
09:51one that requires you to learn to read with the help of a tutor
09:55did you keep your voice down
09:56huh please
09:59I also know
10:00you have a five year old son
10:04and that you got mixed up with the Demeris and Vivian Alamein
10:09um
10:11so is there anything else I should know about you before I decide if you're good for me
10:24what do you mean maybe you'll never get your inheritance
10:28did I not go all the way to Alamein
10:31where dreams and Wi-Fi go to die
10:34to prove you were Stefan's widow
10:37I definitely appreciate everything that you've done for me Philip
10:41but
10:42I mean surprise surprise
10:43the Demeris don't believe it
10:44or they don't want to believe it
10:47they're vowing to fight it
10:49and now they're demanding forensic evidence
10:52that it wasn't Stefan's signature on the divorce papers
10:54which of course I still don't have
10:59I guess that might be an issue
11:02so I took the liberty of digging through some of my old papers and keepsakes
11:07and managed to find some samples of Vivian's handwriting
11:14so that in case you can't prove that Stefan didn't sign those papers
11:18you can prove that she did
11:28believe me I get it
11:30after all those years of Stefano trying to manipulate you and dad
11:34now that he's finally gone
11:36I mean the last thing you would want is him manipulating you from the grave
11:42very true
11:44very true
11:45but I do have to wonder
11:46I mean
11:47you decided to go to the will reading
11:49you must be kind of curious about why Stefano left you that chess set
11:54I mean
11:56do you think there's like a message in it?
12:01I don't know
12:02I
12:03I don't know
12:04I'm not even curious
12:08I don't think that Stefano
12:12ever imagined that John
12:16would be gone
12:19when he bequeathed him that gift
12:22he was only doing it just to torment him
12:25yeah
12:25yeah I know
12:26I'm sure he was
12:29well I'm not going to give him that satisfaction
12:34even posthumously
12:38I'm not going to do it
12:40he's dead now
12:43Stefano can't hurt us anymore
12:47thank God
12:49thank God
13:03and now we can close the book on Stefano
13:07good riddance
13:08to the author
13:09yeah
13:10works for me
13:13how was your day?
13:15well
13:17it was long
13:17long work
13:18and then
13:19oh I went by the hospital
13:20this is Sean on my way home
13:23how is he?
13:23he's good
13:24he's good
13:25he thinks he's getting discharged tomorrow
13:28wonderful news
13:29and he's
13:29he's going over to
13:31Jada's to convalesce?
13:33yeah
13:33that's the plan
13:36and how do you feel about that plan?
13:40I mean like I said
13:41I was hurt that he rejected my offer to care for him
13:44but
13:45I mean I totally get
13:47why the two of us being in close proximity
13:50and you know me helping him with intimate things
13:53that would be awkward for him
13:54and for me
13:56and you know he's on crutches
13:57he needs help getting around
13:59he needs help getting dressed
14:00and you know I'm just
14:02I'm going to be really busy at work anyway
14:04so this is probably all for the best
14:07hmm
14:16hey I have an idea
14:19why don't you come back to my place
14:21and we can order
14:23just a gigantic dinner
14:28I mean I would really love to
14:30I would
14:32I would
14:32but I made plans for dinner with
14:34with Holly
14:36and I'm really worried about her
14:37after everything that happened with Sophia
14:40I get it
14:41it's tragic
14:42I mean Tate's having a hard time with it too
14:46mrs. Choi called my mom
14:50yeah she's telling everyone who will listen
14:52that Holly drove Sophia
14:55to take her own life
14:57no
14:58I heard
14:59I heard about this
15:01and I understand that
15:02Amy Choi is lashing out at the situation
15:05but does she have to make Holly the target
15:07I know
15:08yeah
15:09I mean
15:12I really wish it wasn't happening
15:15but before everything
15:18Holly did
15:19posts and things that I really wish she hadn't
15:24I heard about that too
15:26from Sophia's dad
15:28you spoke to him
15:30I did
15:32I did
15:34earlier and uh
15:35he's just going through it
15:37I mean the whole family is going through it
15:40I can't even imagine
15:41I really can't
15:44I have an idea
15:48when you're done with your dinner with Holly
15:51if you're up for it
15:52I would love for you to come over and just
15:55talk or not talk
15:57or do whatever you want to do
15:59well if you want to
16:02oh I want
16:04yeah I want to
16:14I'm really sorry
16:17I shouldn't have said that
16:19that was wrong
16:21it was insensitive of me
16:24no it's
16:25it's okay
16:28it's just
16:30before all this happened
16:32I never had a friend who died before
16:36I mean I guess I should say
16:38ex-friend
16:40but I just I can't stop thinking about Sophia
16:43and remembering how close
16:45we used to be before
16:47it all just went
16:49it went so wrong
16:51I know
16:54I get it
16:55I keep thinking about her too
16:58wishing the same
17:03Holly
17:04Holly I'm so sorry
17:04I have to go
17:08text me
17:09maybe if you want to hang out later
17:11yeah
17:12yeah no I will
17:15alright
17:15bye
17:31you got simple Sivivian's handwriting
17:35which will help
17:36I hope
17:38to prove that Stefan's signature was forged on your horse papers
17:44I wanted you to have the closure you needed
17:48and every last penny the Demers owe you after everything they put you through
17:55thank you
17:56Philip
17:59I am so grateful
18:01and not just because of the money that I would inherit
18:04although that's definitely a part of it
18:08but knowing that Stefan went to his grave
18:11still loving me
18:12still married to me
18:13it would mean
18:15so much to me
18:18and I want you to know
18:21that if I do end up inheriting a ton of money
18:25a big chunk of it will go to you
18:26because none of this would have ever happened without you
18:32no
18:32no
18:34Gabby I will not take any of that money
18:36no way
18:39you don't owe me anything
18:45yeah
18:47I do
18:55no I don't have any other
18:57deep dark secrets
18:58but isn't that list of offenses you just rattled off enough
19:01I mean I'm not going to say I wasn't surprised to hear some of it
19:05but I wasn't completely shocked
19:07I mean
19:09it's not like my family is a bunch of saints
19:12so are you still involved in any of that shady stuff?
19:16no I'm not just
19:18making an honest living as you can see
19:22so I'm guessing you heard all about that shady stuff I was involved in from your mother?
19:27my uncle Rafe told her
19:30your uncle?
19:32he's an FBI agent
19:35wait your uncle's Rafe Hernandez?
19:38yes
19:38why do you know him?
19:41you could say that he questioned me once
19:45so there is more to the list
19:47on top of everything else you've been questioned by the FBI
19:51which is part of the reason I told you to stay away from me
19:56look I
19:59I really like you Ari
20:02and that's exactly why I'm trying to protect you
20:06because you're such a bad guy
20:10yes
20:14I don't think that's going to be a problem
20:18I kind of like my voice
20:32well I'm glad that you're okay with Sean staying at Jada's and I'm glad you understand why that might be
20:42awkward
20:42yeah
20:43like I said I totally get it
20:47and apropos of awkwardness I actually have a case that I want to run by you
20:52I could use your help
20:54okay
20:54okay
20:55okay
20:55so
20:56this is about Sophia Choi's
20:59apparent suicide
21:03horrible
21:05drenching
21:07just wait
21:09why is it a case?
21:11why are you involved?
21:12well
21:13Sophia's mom
21:14is
21:15just kind of directing all of her pain and her sorrow at Holly
21:20and she wants to use cyber bullying laws to throw the book at her for Sophia's death
21:27what?
21:28cyber bullying?
21:30well yeah
21:30Holly posted a few things online that were provocative
21:36hmm
21:38well I see but I'm still not clear
21:41why does that affect you?
21:43why is that awkward?
21:45well I mean I know that Sophia suffered from mental illness
21:49but I also know that Holly suffered at the hands of Sophia's behavior
21:55and Tate was really the bone of contention between the two of them and
22:00he's family
22:02I just don't really know what to do
22:12what's up dad?
22:13hey
22:14come here
22:15it's good to see you
22:17yeah
22:17do you have a
22:19minute to talk?
22:21uh... yeah I was just on the way to the dojo
22:24what's up?
22:27I was talking to Sarah about uh...
22:30what happened with Sophia
22:32and Sarah's very worried about Holly
22:37I just honestly wanted to check in with you, you know, and...
22:41see how you're feeling about everything
22:46yeah honestly I don't... I don't really know what to feel
22:54hey
22:55sorry I'm late
22:56hey
22:57that's okay
22:59alright
22:59well it looks good
23:02honestly I don't think I can eat tonight
23:05my stomach's just like all in knots
23:07can we do this another time?
23:10no
23:11we can't
23:12guess
23:13you?
23:18ori, look
23:19all those other things aside
23:21I have my priorities
23:22my kid being number one
23:25I get that
23:26you don't live in a completely different world from mine
23:30listen, I've lived in many worlds
23:34with my dad's in Arizona
23:36with my mom and her family in Salem
23:39plus the Hortons and the Kriakas
23:41It's like, you state it yourself, I'm related to practically everyone in this town.
23:45Which means I have to fit in with very different people, and I've become something of like a social chameleon.
23:53I can get along with anyone wherever I go.
23:57Well, you may be good at changing your colors, but I don't think your mom would approve of us having
24:03this conversation in any color.
24:06You're kidding. My mom's a felon.
24:10If she has a problem with you because of your police record, then she's a huge hypocrite.
24:16And anyway, she doesn't get a say in who I'm with.
24:21That should be up to two people.
24:25Me, and you.
24:33Gabby.
24:34What?
24:35You don't owe me a cent.
24:40And like I said, I don't want your money.
24:47Philip, please, look, I know that my reputation is a shrewd, ruthless, and let's just face it, somewhat stingy businesswoman
24:56precedes me.
24:59But it would bring me so much joy to be able to do this for you, especially considering everything you've
25:06done for me.
25:10Aside from loving you a whole lot, and very occasionally bringing you breakfast in bed, I haven't done that much
25:19for you.
25:22Are you kidding me?
25:25Aside from loving me and very occasionally bringing me breakfast in bed, both of which are huge, by the way.
25:36You took me to Miami, and we made all new memories there.
25:40I mean, you got me this beautiful bracelet.
25:47You've been there for me when I hated Stefan.
25:52And then, without a hint of jealousy or thought of yourself, you actually let me know that I had no
25:59reason to hate him.
26:03Come to think of it, I am kind of a catch.
26:08Limited edition, even.
26:12You have brought me so much happiness when I thought that I'd never find it again.
26:49It's all really complicated, Dad.
26:54I...
26:56I hate so many things that Sophia did.
27:00But then, you know, when I think back to when I thought she was pregnant with my baby, I...
27:08I really cared about her.
27:12Sure you did.
27:14Look, I obviously had my issues with Sophia as well.
27:18Given what she did.
27:20You and Holly and Rachel and Johnny.
27:23But...
27:24For it to end like this is...
27:30Look...
27:33Considering how you and Holly are affected by this and how difficult it is, maybe you should consider just speaking
27:44to a therapist about your feelings.
27:50Yeah.
27:51Yeah?
27:51I just got an email that...
27:54Salem U's making some counselors available, so...
28:00Maybe I'll do that.
28:03Good.
28:05I think it'd be a good idea.
28:09Look...
28:10Grandma and I are both really worried about you.
28:13We know that you're avoiding us.
28:15And it's not okay.
28:19A lot has happened since last night.
28:23And you need to acknowledge that you're hurting.
28:26Sophia was a good friend for a long time.
28:29Yeah, until I lied to her about my relationship with Kate.
28:32Yes.
28:33And then she did some unspeakable things.
28:38But then you tore her apart on a message board.
28:43You know about that?
28:44Yes.
28:45Mrs. Choi called Grandma.
28:48And she told her what you wrote.
28:49So we've seen the posts.
28:52Aunt Sarah...
28:53I wish to God I never written what I did.
28:56I was just blowing off Steve.
28:59I mean, I wasn't in my right mind after everything Sophia did.
29:03I mean, you should know what those pills did to me.
29:06Yes, I do.
29:07I do.
29:10But Mrs. Choi, once you charged with cyberbullying...
29:16Cyberbullying?
29:17But all I did was put up a few posts.
29:19I mean, what about the real bullying Sophia did to me?
29:22She's the one who took half-picking pictures of me and sent them to Johnny.
29:25She drugged me.
29:26I know.
29:27I do, baby.
29:28I know.
29:30But Mrs. Choi is a grieving mother who is going through the unimaginable.
29:36And part of that grieving process is to find someone to blame.
29:43Grandma and I have your back with her.
29:50But I hope that you understand that words are weapons and that whatever you put on the internet, unfortunately, stays
30:04there forever.
30:06So I hope you learn a very important lesson.
30:21Oh, my gosh, what Amy Choi must be going through, the suffering.
30:28And on top of that, you know, just probably feeling a little bit guilty.
30:34But blaming Holly, I don't understand.
30:38Well, I mean, that's totally wrong, obviously.
30:41And I do want to help Holly because, you know, for Tate and also for Eric.
30:47But I do think I should recuse myself from any decisions about this case, right?
30:54Well, considering what happened when we got involved with helping Rachel, I think you might be right.
31:00I think you should recuse yourself.
31:03Yeah.
31:06Holly, you're the D.A.
31:08It's your job to prosecute criminals, not protect family.
31:21Well, as much as I'd like to agree with you that it should just be you and me who get
31:27to decide who you should be with,
31:28there's actually a third person who gets a say in this.
31:32My kid.
31:34So are you saying I need Gage's seal of approval to hang out with you?
31:40Which, for the record, I'm sure I could win.
31:42Kids love me.
31:44I'm sure they do.
31:45No, you might not need his approval for just hanging out.
31:49But what?
31:51Liam, come on.
31:53We haven't even kissed yet.
31:55Well, what about the night we met?
31:59Small bar?
32:00You just kissed me to help me hide from my mom.
32:03And if we're going for absolute accuracy, you also did kiss me goodbye in my dorm room.
32:08Although, if that technically counts as a kiss, then I've made out with half my family.
32:14Okay.
32:14I did not need that visual.
32:16Well, my point is, I don't think Gage needs to weigh in on you and I being together.
32:21At least not until we really kiss.
32:41Philip, giving you this money is the least that I can do.
32:45And not just because you're a limited edition, Gage, who's done so much for me.
32:53Your family's been kind enough to open their home to me, especially when you've all been going through such a
33:00tough time.
33:04So, what's mine is yours.
33:09Only you get debt and a failing company.
33:16I'll take it.
33:18Lucky you.
33:21Yeah.
33:23Lucky me.
33:29Yeah.
33:44I don't know what I'd do without you, Philip.
33:49Well, the good news is, I am absolutely head over heels for you, Gabby Hernandez.
33:58And you're stuck with me.
34:04So, you'll never have to find out.
34:17Okay, you're right.
34:19We haven't really kissed.
34:21Not because I haven't wanted to.
34:24Well, not because I haven't wanted to either.
34:27I mean, to be honest, I've been wanting to kiss you ever since you kissed me in the small bar.
34:34Hmm.
34:35So, it was a real kiss.
34:39Maybe.
34:40I think you need to verify that by trying again.
34:46Now that I actually know you.
34:54Well, you think that's the way to go?
35:14You're right.
35:16You're right.
35:17After that whole debacle with Judge Dabney and the dressing down I got from Paulina afterward.
35:24Yeah, I have to recuse myself from this case with Holly and just hand it over to an ADA.
35:31I wish I had some magic words of wisdom to give you right now.
35:35I was trying to think what your father would say.
35:42That's a fact?
35:45Yeah, not that one.
35:48He would say, um, always do the right thing.
35:54And sometimes it won't be easy, but if it doesn't feel easy, that means it's the right thing.
36:10And I know that Amy Choi is running around blaming Holly for what happened to Sophia.
36:17Which is insane.
36:19That is such BS.
36:20Holly has every right to be angry with Sophia.
36:23Like, it's not Holly's fault that Sophia went off the rails.
36:29I have to talk to Mrs. Choi.
36:30Get her to back off.
36:31Or to take, take, take.
36:33That's not a good idea.
36:35As a matter of fact, if you do that, you will probably make things much, much worse.
36:43Seriously?
36:44The way you're talking to me right now.
36:46Like, I'm a bad person that deserves to be punished.
36:49I can't take it.
36:50Holly, honey, I did not say anything like that.
36:53Yeah, well, that's how it sounded.
36:55Sorry, I have to...
36:56Holly, sit down.
37:00What?
37:02Baby, I did not mean to upset you.
37:05I didn't.
37:07Okay?
37:08I love you.
37:10And I care about you.
37:13But mainly, I want to make sure that you don't withdraw.
37:17And that you don't try to deal with this on your own.
37:19Grandma and I both love you.
37:22And support you.
37:24But part of supporting someone is not telling them what they want to hear.
37:30It's telling them what they need to hear.
37:33Yeah, but what I need is just time.
37:36And to go.
37:37I love you.
37:37So thank you so much.
38:00We'll see you.
38:00Bye.
38:03Have a great day.
38:03Bye.
