00:02Well, I am glad that your creative juices are flowing.
00:07Yeah, Trey's out for the count, and I am just here working on the fall menu for Sweet Bits.
00:16I promise I will get some rest.
00:20Okay.
00:21Alright.
00:22Love you, too, Gio.
00:27Okay.
00:30Ow!
00:36You know?
00:39Maybe what's wrong?
00:49Hey.
00:51Hey.
00:52Just one second.
00:56Boom.
00:57Sent.
00:58Hi.
01:00Mmm.
01:01Oh.
01:02Sorry to interrupt.
01:03I thought you didn't interrupt anything.
01:04Just a boring email.
01:06How'd things go with the new client?
01:08They went really well.
01:09Good.
01:10Yeah.
01:10They liked my, um...
01:16Ah.
01:17Yeah, that's for...
01:18Kelsey.
01:20Figured.
01:25Alex, we've been tiptoeing around the issue of the baby for a while now.
01:30I know.
01:31Do you?
01:33Because there is a literal elephant in the room that we haven't addressed yet, and I think it's time we
01:39do.
01:47Regan Halloway.
01:50Uh, not exactly.
01:54I'm sorry.
01:55Um, I mean, I'm, uh, I'm Joy Wesley.
01:59Right.
02:00I'm Lonnie Grant.
02:02You are Abe's daughter, aren't you?
02:04I saw your photo on his desk.
02:07You have those adorable twins.
02:09Yeah, I do.
02:11Jules and Carver.
02:12Uh, they're actually right there playing.
02:15Well, they look like they're having a blast.
02:17Oh, they absolutely are.
02:19Oh, and who is this lovely little one?
02:23This is Kelsey.
02:26Kelsey Kiriakis.
02:29Oh, uh, well, she's beautiful.
02:34Thanks.
02:35She is.
02:36Isn't she?
02:42Hey.
02:44Hey.
02:48Your shift is almost over, so I would love to take you to lunch before I have to go to
02:52the gun range.
02:53What do you say?
02:55I would love to, but...
02:57But?
02:58Mm-hmm.
02:59My colleague got the stomach flu, so I'm stuck working a double.
03:05That's very, very bad.
03:06Mm-hmm.
03:07Yeah.
03:08Especially because it keeps me from hanging out with you.
03:10Oh.
03:12Well, at least we got a chunk of time that we got to spend with each other when Xander had
03:16Victoria.
03:17Well, it was nice.
03:18Yeah.
03:21Except now I don't get to see my little girl for another night.
03:31Thanks for the much-needed distraction to the cup of caffeine.
03:37Well, I needed the distraction, too, as you know.
03:41And I'm happy to reciprocate for the cocktails you so generously underwrote the other evening.
03:47Also, my masseur canceled on me.
03:50Oh, apparently he accidentally put his hand in a panini press.
03:54Oh, dear.
03:55Oh, dear is right.
03:56Poor Ingmar.
03:58Those giant Norwegian meat hooks do things I didn't think were possible.
04:03Hmm.
04:07I'm sorry.
04:09Was it the Norwegian meat hooks comment?
04:11Is that what triggered you?
04:13You didn't say anything about hooking up with Scandinavian men on your European sojourn, but maybe...
04:18No, Matthew, it's not that.
04:21Then what is it, Gwony?
04:23What's wrong?
04:28The only way to punish E.J. for everything he's done to the people we care about is to eliminate
04:35him completely.
04:38How's it?
04:39Wipe him off the face of the earth.
04:41Come on, Kristen.
04:42You tried to take out E.J. before, and it's blown up in your face.
04:47True.
04:49But what I want now is for you to kill him.
04:56Wait a minute.
04:58You're setting me up.
04:59Is this some dirty trick to get Titan to drop the plagiarism suit against the mirror?
05:04No, of course not.
05:08That would be business.
05:10This is personal.
05:14Are you serious about this, aren't you?
05:16I am dead serious.
05:27Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.
05:43Oh, my God.
05:45I'm how incredibly insensitive.
05:48Here I am just going on and on about how much I miss my daughter after missing her for one
05:52night.
05:52Sarah, Sarah, Sarah, Sarah.
05:54You're not insensitive.
05:56Just because Rachel is not under my roof right now doesn't mean you can't miss your daughter.
06:01Whenever she's with Xander, whenever you're working a late shift.
06:04I mean, of course, you miss your little girl.
06:07And I want you to open up about things like that to me.
06:12Actually, I want you to open up about everything to me, if that's okay.
06:17You're going to regret it.
06:19I'm not.
06:20Never.
06:23I'm going to miss you tonight.
06:26I'm going to have a rain check.
06:27Okay.
06:28Dinner this weekend.
06:29We're going to binge 30 Rock.
06:32Oh, okay.
06:33Okay?
06:33All right.
06:34Sounds good.
06:35Go out there and save a bunch of lives, okay?
06:39Yes, sir.
06:40I shall.
06:41All right.
06:41I forgot something.
06:43I...
06:44What?
06:51I'm fine, Mama.
06:53I just...
06:53I...
06:54I hit my funny bone with the computer.
06:57Oh.
06:58Poor baby.
07:00You know, I never understood why they call it a funny bone.
07:05Nothing funny about it, if you ask me.
07:07Yeah, I agree.
07:09Um, since Trey's napping, why don't you go and get yourself some rest and let Grandma look after him when
07:15he gets up?
07:16Well, that's very sweet of you, Mama, but...
07:19But?
07:20Nothing.
07:23Blessing, having all of my family under one roof.
07:27Yeah, um, about that.
07:29Mama, Johnny, and I, we really appreciate you letting us stay here while our kitchen's being repaired.
07:34But I'm beginning to think that we may just be another burden.
07:40A burden?
07:41To who?
07:43For you.
07:46And Theo.
07:48Babe.
07:50Chanel, honey, you could never be a burden.
07:55You, Lonnie, and my sweet grandkids are what's keeping me sane right now.
08:00So, please, do me a favor.
08:05Don't go anywhere.
08:14You're right, Seth.
08:17It does feel like we've been dancing around the subject of my daughter.
08:25I just wanted you to have some time to process everything.
08:29I know.
08:31But if I'm being honest, the only thing that I've been able to process is something I already knew.
08:44I'm not ready to be a stepmother, Alex.
08:49I'm sorry.
08:53So, after a lot of soul-searching, I realized that Alex deserves to know his daughter.
09:03Wow.
09:05That sounds like a story straight out of body and soul.
09:09Gosh, I don't know if it's that dramatic, but...
09:12Maybe it is.
09:13Yeah.
09:15Anyway, being a mom has taught me a lot of things.
09:20I can survive on very little sleep, even less downtime.
09:28And nothing is more important to me than my little girl.
09:34And I will do anything to give her a good life.
09:41I know exactly how you feel, ma'am.
09:50You're...
09:50Oh.
09:52Oh.
09:53You're welcome.
09:55Gwenny.
09:56You're starting to worry me.
09:58I haven't seen you this upset since...
10:01Since your American Idol audition.
10:03So, what was it Simon Cowell said that it sounded like a drunken hag and a boozer on a Monday
10:11yesterday, I remember.
10:17Oh, I'm sorry.
10:18Here I was trying to lighten the mood, and now you're just crying harder.
10:23Okay, look.
10:24Don't make me perform tea-spilling, sir.
10:27The recovery is quite long, and it's not covered by insurance.
10:33Come on, Gwenny.
10:35Tell me what's going on in that pretty, calculating head of yours.
10:41Yes, I know we have had our ups and downs, but I care about you.
10:45You know I do.
10:46I hate seeing you this upset.
10:48So, tell me what's going on, please.
10:52Pretty please with puppy dog eyes on top.
10:57All right.
10:58All right.
11:00It's about a very handsome, somewhat brooding Scottish bloke that you might know.
11:09Ewan McGregor.
11:12All right.
11:13I admit I don't know him, but I really wish I did.
11:17So, then this must be about the only Scottish bloke I do know is Andy Kyriakas.
11:25Ding, ding, ding.
11:27Ding.
11:30Good God, Kristen.
11:33Whatever makes you think that I would even entertain such a dark request?
11:37Why wouldn't I think it?
11:41I mean, you were Victor's thug before you started calling him daddy.
11:47Yes, I'm well aware of my past, thank you.
11:50But I'm more interested in my future.
11:54What is it you think that you can offer me to entice me to murder your brother for you?
12:00Money.
12:04Lots and lots of money.
12:08Ah, I just inherited millions from my father, in case you haven't heard.
12:14And considering that Titan is in a world of trouble,
12:20see, you doing this job would solve both our problems.
12:25So, what do you say?
12:35I say, go to hell.
12:51You're not ready to be a stepmother.
12:55What do you mean?
12:57I mean,
12:59I'm not prepared to take on that role.
13:06I just, I have to be honest with you.
13:12I know, this whole situation is far from ideal.
13:18But you are, Kelsey's stepmom.
13:21Whether or not we were ready for it, you know?
13:30Or I'm just not reading the room.
13:36Steph, are you telling me you want me to choose between our marriage and my daughter?
13:43Hey!
13:44No.
13:45Feet first, down the slide, little man.
13:54Just wait until your little one thinks that she is on American Ninja Warrior.
13:59Oh, my gosh.
14:00Between feeding, changing the diapers, and doing the laundry,
14:05I feel like I need to start my own reality show.
14:08American Ninja.
14:11Single mom.
14:14Oh, we need to work on that name.
14:17But, oof, yeah.
14:19Single parenting.
14:21When Eli is away, I get a taste of it.
14:24And it's not easy.
14:27No.
14:28No, it's not.
14:31I want to thank you, Lonnie, for being so kind to me.
14:36I'm sure you've heard some rather unflattering things about me from your sister, so.
14:44Look, I get why Chanel feels a certain way.
14:48But you didn't know that Johnny was married when you two climbed into bed together the first night that I
14:54was in Salem.
14:57And the truth is, nothing happened.
15:03But I let Chanel believe that I was her friend while I was keeping that secret from her.
15:10That wasn't cool.
15:12At all.
15:13You were protecting Johnny.
15:15I get it.
15:18But if I'm honest with you, Chanel has a lot on her plate right now.
15:24So just give me some space.
15:28Oh, I will.
15:30For sure.
15:32Mama, I'm not going anywhere.
15:35And neither is Johnny or Trey.
15:38Okay?
15:39If it's more comforting for you to have us here, then we will stay as long as you need us
15:44to.
15:46Bless your heart for saying that.
15:49I mean it.
15:51But, uh, I do have a question.
15:55Hmm.
15:57Uh, well, when Lexi is discharged, where is she going to go?
16:04Have you and Abe discussed this?
16:09No.
16:10No, baby.
16:11We have not.
16:14Truth be told, Abraham and I haven't discussed anything.
16:20He and Theo are at Lexi's bedside 24-7.
16:24I haven't wanted to intrude.
16:27But no, Mama, you wouldn't be intruding.
16:29You're Abe's wife.
16:31See?
16:32That's the thing.
16:34Now that Lexi's alive, I'm not sure I am.
16:44Anyway, I told myself that I was fine with something casual, no strings attached, but I should have known my
16:55heart would get in the way.
16:59Don't you make any wisecracks or so help me.
17:02Me, me, inserting witticisms as a way of shielding myself from being vulnerable with others?
17:10Oney, my dear, look, I know that underneath that tough, clever, quintessentially suck-it-up British veneer lurks a very
17:23sensitive soul with a good heart.
17:27I also know this isn't just about Xander, is it?
17:33No, it's not.
17:37It's also E.J.
17:40What about him, Jay?
17:43Remember that I'm the one whose neck is on the line.
17:47No one even knows you're mine.
17:49Yes.
17:50And I would like to keep it that way.
17:53No problem.
17:58But, all this talk of risk and reward has got me thinking.
18:04Since I'm the one taking the disproportionate share of the risk, am I not entitled to a disproportionate share of
18:14the reward?
18:17Oh, you double-crossed me, that bastard.
18:27So, you've gone soft, have you?
18:32Are you on the straight and narrow now?
18:35Hmm?
18:38Actually, I've been in therapy for months.
18:41I'm trying to tamp down these murderous impulses that I have.
18:45Arthur Evans is helping me get to the root cause of my anger.
18:49So, no, I'm not going to throw away all the good work that I've done better in myself
18:53by taking out E.J. Bloody DiMera.
18:55Of course, of course.
18:57The sanctimonious Marlena Evans.
18:59The only game in town for some bizarre reason.
19:05But let's just stay on topic, shall we?
19:11Hmm.
19:12I am not suggesting that you take out E.J. by yourself.
19:19I mean, you do have your own personal goon squad, do you not?
19:23So do you.
19:25Yeah, but the sirens will come blaring for me at no time.
19:29You, on the other hand, are one of the many business rivals E.J. has managed to acquire over the
19:37years.
19:38Well, technically, we're not even that.
19:40I mean, aside of his surname, E.J. has nothing to do with DiMera.
19:44Okay, just stop right there.
19:47We both know that he is involved with all things DiMera.
19:56Xander, I hope you realize that it's only a matter of time before E.J. does something to burn you.
20:04And believe me, he will.
20:08Oh, so you're kindly advising me to launch a preemptive strike?
20:17And think about all the people that you will help.
20:21All the messes that you will clean up before they even happen.
20:26The world would be a much better place without E.J. DiMera in it.
20:33And I'm sure your quack therapist, Marlena, would wholeheartedly agree.
20:47Pretty.
20:50What are you doing in here?
20:52Mommy, I miss you.
20:55Oh, I missed you.
21:01Oh, my goodness.
21:03Well, I knew you couldn't get to see her, so I met Fran at the park and brought her to
21:08you.
21:09I may have convinced one of the nurses to conspire to keep it a secret as well.
21:14My goodness, you have no idea how happy you made me.
21:21That's all due to this wonderful man.
21:36I didn't know that Fran came with you to the hospital.
21:41She did.
21:42Look, I would have been happy to take that little cutie home myself, but I have to go to the
21:47shooting range and work on my PI license.
21:53What's with the look?
21:55I don't know.
21:56I'm just worried about your well-being.
22:02It's a dangerous job.
22:06Don't worry.
22:07I'll be fine.
22:08I'll be fine.
22:10You'd better be.
22:13I need you to be.
22:26Well, that was my boardroom pitch.
22:29What do you say?
22:33I'm sorry, Kristen, but the answer's still no, emphatically, unequivocally.
22:41Fine.
22:42All right.
22:43You know what?
22:43If you don't want to play ball, then I give up.
22:48And I am very sorry for wasting your time and mine.
22:53Well, it doesn't have to be a waste of our time.
22:59What do you mean?
23:01Well, you all remember that initially I thought you asked me over here for a little afternoon delight.
23:12Sandro Kyriakos.
23:15Are you saying that you're interested?
23:20I'm still a hero, aren't I?
23:30I'm still a hero, aren't I?
23:34So, you're saying that E.J. double-crossed you.
23:37What did he do?
23:38Spin your shepherd's pie?
23:40Give away your favorite coat to Goodwill?
23:43Oh, come on, I'm just joking.
23:45If you can't tell, I'm not in any mood for your stupid jokes.
23:50And I can see from your pushy energy you're not saying any of this as a friend to me, but
23:55rather as the weaselly reporter, Leo Stark, who's just jonesing for his next scoop.
23:59And, uh, Gwenny, my sweet, I must inform you that my energy is always pushy.
24:06But in the interest of transparency, you are partly right.
24:10But as the spectator's most esteemed reporter, I am extremely curious about the goings-on in this town, but I
24:16am also worried about my oldest, dearest friend.
24:21Are you being sincere?
24:23Yes, I am.
24:25I promise you I am.
24:28I miss my friend.
24:30Especially when she's not hurling insults at me like pies at a county fair.
24:38Okay.
24:40I believe you.
24:44Will you tell me something?
24:46Yeah.
24:47Is there any friend that you've liked more than me?
24:52Oh, yes.
24:54Joni Lombardo.
24:55She was my best friend in eighth grade.
24:57She was the funniest person I've ever known.
24:59She could make a statue do a spit take.
25:02So you did like her more than me?
25:05It was eighth grade, Gwenny.
25:07I was twelve.
25:08Oh, God, are you crying again?
25:11Yes, I am.
25:13I am, actually, because I'm so bloody tired of not coming first.
25:18For anyone.
25:22Alex, I would never ask you to choose between me and your daughter.
25:30But...
25:30But what?
25:33This isn't what I signed on for.
25:39And also...
25:42It's making me feel like I can't trust you.
25:45Well, of course you can trust me, baby.
25:49Why would you even say that?
25:50Because Joy told me that you said you wanted her to stay in Salem.
25:55But you told me that it was her decision that she made.
26:02Okay.
26:06I'm sorry.
26:08Stephanie, I just figured that you understood how truly complicated all of this is for me right now.
26:15Like, like, this isn't complicated for me?
26:18But I guess what I'm feeling, what I want, just isn't that important.
26:21Oh, my God.
26:22What do you mean it's not important?
26:23Of course it's important.
26:34I have to go.
26:35I have a reservation at the gun range.
26:38Right.
26:40Well, I guess we'll just pick up on this when you get back.
26:46I'm sure your daughter will love this.
27:01Mama, you have to stop saying that.
27:03Of course you're still Abe's wife.
27:06Not in the eyes of the law.
27:09Perhaps not even in God's eyes.
27:12You know,
27:15I don't have the will or the energy to square up against fate
27:21or the love of Abraham's life.
27:26So,
27:27the horrible thing to do is just to bow out.
27:30That's,
27:30that's what I'm going to do.
27:32On my own terms.
27:34I prefer that to sitting around waiting for the inevitable to happen.
27:51Yeah,
27:55I've been clocking all those come,
27:56have the looks you've been giving me.
27:58First at the hospital benefit,
28:00and the other morning,
28:01in your living room.
28:03Yeah.
28:06Yeah?
28:06Well, I'm done looking at Santa Kiriakis.
28:12I want to touch you.
28:57You have been a very bad boy, haven't you, Xander?
29:03The worst.
29:04Did I say you could speak?
29:10Who's in charge?
29:13Well, you are.
29:34The worst.
29:46The worst.
29:48The worst.
29:55The worst.
30:13The worst.
30:16The worst.
30:23The worst.
30:52Oh, I know.
30:57It hurts so good, doesn't it?
31:00No.
31:01My elbow, it just...
31:02It just hurts.
31:20Mama, I know that this whole situation with Lexi is...
31:26...complicated.
31:28And I know that you're just trying to protect your heart, okay?
31:31But don't make any decisions until you talk to Abe first.
31:36Okay?
31:40Oh, hey, sis.
31:41Well, honey, darling.
31:43Hey, you two.
31:44Where are those beautiful twins?
31:46Well, Jules and Carver had so much fun at the park,
31:49and now they're at the bookstore for Storytime with Julie.
31:52Wonderful!
31:54Oh, then why don't I put on a kettle of tea for the three of us?
32:05How's she doing?
32:06Oh, you know, just trying to be strong and putting on a brave face,
32:12even though I know she's pushing it all down.
32:14Which is just so not like her.
32:17She's not the only one.
32:26Okay, mister...
32:30Xander!
32:33Oh, Sarah.
32:40Brady!
32:41Hey!
32:42Hey!
32:43Hey!
32:44We meet again.
32:46Great minds.
32:47Yeah, hopefully great shots, too.
32:49You up for another friendly marksmanship contest, huh?
32:56What's going on?
32:58Something's not right.
32:59What's up?
32:59It's nothing.
33:02Yeah.
33:03Doesn't seem like nothing.
33:06Want to talk about it?
33:17Until next time?
33:18What's up?
33:23What's up?
33:25You get it?
33:26You get it?
33:28Yeah, I feel right.
33:36And you make it that's fine.
33:37I feel right.
34:37Here I am.
34:42Unless you want a different doctor.
34:44No, no, no. Please. You'll do just fine.
34:47Oh, wow. Thank you very much.
34:49You must know how I meant it.
34:51Sure. That's fine. We'll just...
34:54Um, okay. So...
34:57It says here you have an elbow injury.
35:01Do you mind if I look at it?
35:03Can I get us?
35:04Okay.
35:30I think it's just located.
35:34Yeah. How did you do this?
35:38And what happened to your wrists?
35:46There was one time we were in P.E. and Joanie found the doctor.
35:51No, stop.
35:52Kristen.
35:55Gwen.
35:57Ah, Leo.
35:59What are you doing at the cinnamon?
36:00Uh, you know, I'm sensing the potential for a rather acrimonious exchange,
36:05so I'm just going to jump in and say that whatever Kristen is doing here, it's none of our business.
36:09Thank you, Leo.
36:11Yeah, although, why does one leave a hotel room in the middle of the afternoon looking like they just auditioned
36:17for an 80s hairband,
36:18unless it was for a little, you know.
36:37You're talking about me, aren't you?
36:41Yeah.
36:43You are kind of sticking your head in the sand, pretending that everything is fine, sis, when you have so
36:49much going on right now.
36:51I mean, aside from you being pregnant, Johnny almost dying the other day.
36:57And then you had that biopsy done, and I know that that has to be tough waiting for those results,
37:04sis.
37:05Yeah.
37:07Yeah, it is.
37:09Have you told Mama yet?
37:10No.
37:11How can I lay one more thing on her?
37:15She would want to know, no matter what is going on in her life.
37:20She would want to be there for you, just like I do.
37:24Yeah, come here.
37:33Hey, there.
37:34Hey.
37:37I brought her a little something.
37:40May I?
37:41Of course.
37:45Hey, sweetheart.
37:48This is Horton.
37:54When I was a little boy, I used to love the Dr. Seuss book called Horton Hears a Who.
38:00So I brought that for you.
38:07Oh, she certainly has your eyes.
38:09You think so?
38:14Well, she definitely loves little Horton.
38:23Well, she definitely loves little Horton.
38:37And he advised us that we just take baby steps, no pun intended, just until this whole joint custody thing
38:48is figured out.
38:49Well, yeah.
38:52Now that makes sense.
38:55Did it?
38:56Yeah.
39:00I think what might be a good first step would be for Stephanie to meet the baby.
39:08She already has.
39:10Didn't she tell you?
39:12Wait, what?
39:13No, no, no.
39:14She didn't say anything.
39:15It was at the pub.
39:16I mean, it wasn't exactly a warm, fuzzy moment.
39:20Yeah.
39:21Well, Stephanie's still getting used to the idea of my having a kid.
39:30But in time, she'll come around.
39:36If you say so.
39:40The thing is, I wasn't even sure that I wanted children.
39:43And now this baby has been thrust into my life.
39:47And how am I supposed to warm up to her when all I see is that she is just this
39:53reminder that Alex slept with someone else?
39:57God, listen to me.
39:58I sound like a heartless bitch.
40:00Well, no, no, no.
40:00You don't sound like that at all.
40:03Stephanie, my God, this would be a lot for anybody to deal with, right?
40:07Especially for me right now.
40:11I mean, I was just still trying to figure out how to take care of myself.
40:18And now, how am I supposed to take care of another living thing?
40:24A helpless infant.
40:29So, am I right?
40:30Were you just engaging in a little midday mambo, Ms. Demira?
40:34Is that why your hair looks like it's doing jazz hands?
40:36You have no idea what the hell you're talking about, Leo.
40:41I was in a business meeting, that's all.
40:44Oh.
40:44And I am warning you, do not push my buttons.
40:49Well, I'm no expert.
40:51But judging by the I just burned a thousand calories and did absolutely zero cardio look on your face,
40:56I'm guessing whoever you were in your meeting with not only pushed your buttons but also rang your bell and
41:01set off your alarm.
41:08I mean, I just took my lunch break at the gym and was doing pull-ups and lost my grip.
41:17Okay.
41:19Um, so I want to get it x-rayed to make sure that the elbow isn't fractured.
41:27And then I'll pop it back into place.
41:32Hot.
41:33Hmm?
41:34I mean, doesn't that take a fair amount of brawn and strength to get it back in place?
41:41Nah, it's mainly leverage.
41:43I've done it before, many times.
41:48Unless you want to know-
41:49No, no, no, no, please.
41:50If you think you can do it.
41:52Oh, I can do it.
41:54In fact, I'm looking forward to it.
42:02Yes.
42:09I know you're here for me.
42:12Lonnie and-
42:13And so is Johnny.
42:14Lonnie and that's enough for me.
42:17I don't want to burden Mama with any of this right now.
42:20And maybe I don't have cancer.
42:23Right?
42:24Maybe I'm due for a miracle.
42:26Well, another miracle.
42:29Because, uh, this baby I'm carrying and Trey, they're-
42:33They're both miracles.
42:35Right?
42:37Yes.
42:39They are miracles.
42:41What's this about miracles?
42:44Uh, well, Chanel was just saying that maybe this situation with Lexi, it-
42:51It can be resolved without anybody getting hurt.
42:55Now, that would take a miracle.
43:01Okay.
43:02So, radiology sent me your film.
43:04Your elbow is not fractured.
43:07That's a relief.
43:08So, now, I'm gonna manipulate it back into alignment.
43:14Alright.
43:15And then you're gonna have to wear a sling for a week or two while it heals.
43:20Alright.
43:21You ready?
43:24Okay.
43:24Oh, easy.
43:30Oh.
43:32Oh.
43:34There.
43:36All done.
43:39Ouch.
43:42Well, you enjoyed that, didn't you?
43:44Well, gave it away.
43:49Yo.
43:50What?
43:51I'm not judging.
43:52Do you know how many hotel rooms I've walked out of in the middle of the afternoon?
43:57The Do Not Disturb Simon's practically invented for me.
44:00You know what?
44:01I say, if you were with someone, Kristen, good for you.
44:06Well, thank you, Gwen.
44:09And you know, if my being with Xander was any inspiration to you, well, I take that as a badge
44:17of honor.
44:19Ah.
44:26I really do get your frustration.
44:29But here's the thing about babies.
44:32They tend to work their way into your heart.
44:36And Kelsey, even though it is Joy's kid, she's Alex's too.
44:44Yeah.
44:46No, I need to remind myself of that.
44:51Because I love Alex so much.
44:56And I hope that someday I can find a way to love his daughter, too.
45:09I don't think running into you and Kelsey at the pub constitutes Stephanie actually meeting Kelsey.
45:19What do you think?
45:20Maybe we set up a time where you bring her by the apartment.
45:24Yeah.
45:25Yeah.
45:25And hopefully by then my dad will have drawn up the paperwork to amend the birth certificate and she will
45:33be officially Kelsey Kiriakis.
45:41Did you give her a middle name?
45:44No.
45:45No, I didn't give her one yet.
45:46But I thought Adrian might be nice.
46:00Hi.
46:02Yeah, yeah.
46:07Okay.
46:08Okay.
46:13Oh, my goodness.
46:16Oh, my goodness.
46:19Oh, baby.
46:22Hi, baby.
46:25Hey.
46:27Kelsey.
46:30Adrian.
46:32Kiriakis.
46:35Yes.
46:37It's okay.
46:42Hi.
46:43Hi.
46:45Hi.
46:49Hi.
46:50Hi.
46:50Hi.
46:50Hi.
46:51Hi.
46:51Hi.
46:52Hi. Hi.
