00:08Is it morning? It is. You know, I thought we were going to have some fun last night and I
00:21went to go freshen up by the time I came back. You were just dead to the world.
00:27I was? Hmm. It's nothing personal, darling. I just took a pain pill from my elbow before bed and it
00:35must have just knocked me out.
00:39Oh, you're good, darling. You never did tell me how you hurt your elbow.
01:03I was just... and I was at last work.
01:07I was at last.
01:10Hmm.
01:28His sick game ends here and now.
02:00What kind of game are you?
02:02What kind of game are you playing, Father?
02:05Morning, Theo.
02:07Luigi.
02:08Uh, hey, how's Johnny doing?
02:11Much better. He was discharged from the hospital yesterday, I thought.
02:16That's good.
02:17I...
02:18You know, I just wish Uncle Tony would reconsider replacing him at Demura.
02:25What?
02:32That's amazing.
02:34You just made someone I care about very, very happy.
02:38You too. Thanks again.
03:04Julie! Wait!
03:07I was hoping that we could have a word.
03:20Hello. I'm here too, you know.
03:24Is there something the matter, dear?
03:26Only that you seem more interested in Gabby Hernandez than your own wife.
03:32Why are you staring at her?
03:34I was just glancing out with her and Julie.
03:37I wasn't staring.
03:40As a matter of fact, I'm a bit peed at Gabby right now.
03:43I offered her to see her position at Demura and she turned me down.
03:47Turning?
03:48She turned you down?
03:50Why would she do that?
03:53Conflict of interest.
03:55She doesn't want to compete against Titan.
03:58Now that she's in a relationship with Philip.
04:02Whoa.
04:03Gabby is dating Philip?
04:06After everything she did to their family's company?
04:11Well, for all I know, he has no idea that she bugged his office.
04:16And then turned the recording over to you.
04:22Well, if Gabby isn't going to accept the position, then...
04:29Oh, Tony, don't tell me that you plan to stay in Salem and do the job yourself.
04:36Well, Tony!
04:38Anna!
04:40I don't have much of an option.
04:43I've got to step up to the plate.
04:45Until I find someone suitable to run Demura Enterprises.
04:52But I imagine that's going to take too long.
04:56Unacceptable.
05:09Lexi Carver?
05:11I understand that you wanted to meet me.
05:14I'm...
05:15I know who you are.
05:17You're my husband's new wife.
05:31Black sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.
05:48You know, I probably should tell you to be more careful about your workouts, but...
05:54Oh, I do appreciate the results.
05:58Oh, fuck.
06:02Oh, God.
06:04Oh, your elbow.
06:04I'm so sorry.
06:06It's fine, it's fine, it's just, um...
06:08Maybe we should just talk for the time being, eh?
06:14You want to talk?
06:15Yeah.
06:17Yeah, that's fine.
06:18All right.
06:19What's on your minds?
06:20Well, you've mentioned something about wanting to, uh, add value to this arrangement.
06:29What do you mean by that?
06:43Tony and Johnny out of Demura.
06:46I'm sorry.
06:47I thought you knew.
06:49And with whom does my brother plan to replace him with?
06:54He mentioned that he asked Gabby.
07:02Tony is pushing Johnny out of Demura.
07:05I'm sorry.
07:07I thought you knew.
07:09And with whom does my brother plan to replace him with?
07:14He mentioned that he asked Gabby.
07:18Gabby, she turned him down, though.
07:21Well, thank God for small favors.
07:24Though that is unlike her.
07:27Who else does Tony have on his shorts?
07:29I have no idea.
07:30Please, don't shoot the messenger.
07:32I'm just trying...
07:33You don't have anything to apologize for, Theo.
07:36I'm glad you kept me in the loop.
07:38No problem.
07:39I should probably be going.
07:41My dad's in there.
07:42I'm meeting him for breakfast.
07:44Of course.
07:46Catch up, sir.
07:47Mm-hmm.
07:51Damn it, Tony!
07:54Knock, knock.
07:56Hi, Philip.
07:58Anna, this is a surprise.
08:02Well, do you have a minute?
08:03I have something I'd like to discuss with you.
08:07This isn't a good time, actually.
08:09I'm on my way to meet Gabby.
08:11Oh, well, what a coincidence.
08:13She's exactly who I wanted to talk to you about.
08:17What about her?
08:19Well, it's come to my attention that Tony offered her the CEO position at Gamera.
08:27He did?
08:29Mm-hmm.
08:30Apparently, her claim to still be Stefan's widow was enough to put her in the running.
08:38Gabby never mentioned any of this to me.
08:41I figured as much.
08:44And, unfortunately, she turned down the job.
08:47But I was hoping you and I could do something about that.
08:54Look, I know that you're not fond of me.
08:57Nothing gets past you.
09:00But I also know how much you love my daughter.
09:03So I'm appealing to that side of you.
09:06The side of you that has a heart.
09:09Stefan's heart.
09:12My God.
09:15All right, Gabby.
09:16What is it?
09:17What is it you want?
09:24I'm glad we could have some one-on-one time with our mom so we could actually talk.
09:32I can guess what you want to talk about.
09:35I'm sure you could.
09:39Have you thought about what's next?
09:41With mom and Paulina?
09:46Well, you know, all I can tell you is I am so happy to have your mother back.
09:53I've never, never stopped loving her.
09:56You love Paulina, too.
09:59I do.
10:01I do.
10:03But there's...
10:04There's more than myself to consider.
10:07There's this you, Lonnie, Chanel...
10:11That is a cop-out.
10:17It's nice meeting you, Lexi.
10:20I know this is a bit...
10:23Awkward for both of us.
10:24But I want to clear the air and let you...
10:27Let you know that, um...
10:29I'm so happy for Abraham and Phil that you're back.
10:34For you, of course.
10:36Does he know you're here?
10:38No, no, I didn't want him to have to feel obliged to play referee.
10:43In other words, you wanted the gloves to be off.
10:48You mean I'm spoiling for a fight?
10:51No, no, I'm not.
10:53Well, I am.
11:01Did you think I was just going to give up my husband?
11:05That I wouldn't fight for him?
11:08No, of course not.
11:10Listen, Paulina.
11:12Price, is it?
11:14Before I say anything else,
11:16I want you to know how grateful I am
11:19that Abe had someone to look after him while I was gone.
11:23To look after him?
11:25Fifteen years is a long time to be alone.
11:28So thank you for being a companion to him.
11:33The pleasure was all mine.
11:36Now, I know how disorienting this is to you, too.
11:48I know you built a life with Abe while I was gone.
11:52But I'm back now.
11:54And I'm not going anywhere.
12:03I asked Liam where he had been all the time that the police were looking for him.
12:08He just said he'd crashed with a friend.
12:10He did not say the friend was Ari.
12:13Well, it was.
12:15And you'd think that a gunshot wound would have scared her off, but no.
12:22Look, I know that I am in no position to ask you for a favor,
12:25but I have nowhere else to turn.
12:27This guy is no good for Ari, but she just won't listen to me.
12:32Well, what do you expect me to do about that?
12:35Well, I'm getting to that.
12:38So I'm trying to entice Liam to leave town,
12:40but he says that he can't because the court is making him complete these tutoring sessions with you.
12:47So I was wondering if these sessions could be done virtually.
12:55Look, if Gabby's not interested in the CEO position at DiMera,
12:59she's not interested.
13:02She obviously doesn't want to get mixed up with your in-laws again,
13:05and I don't blame her.
13:08Philip, darling,
13:10that's not the reason she turned down the job.
13:13She turned it down out of loyalty to you.
13:17Loyalty and guilt, obviously.
13:20Guilt.
13:22Gabby has no reason to feel guilty.
13:25Sure she does.
13:26She's the reason that Titan is in this mess in the first place.
13:36Right, the added value thing.
13:42Well, I do have good authority that the hospital board is absolutely up in arms over E.J.'s Frankensteinian experiments.
13:54And now that my divorce with Demetrius finalized,
13:59I have come into a lot of money,
14:05as you well know.
14:09And, um...
14:11Well, I figured since you tried to outbid E.J. on the hospital last year,
14:16that we could, uh...
14:19What?
14:21Team what?
14:23Exactly.
14:26We could ditch this not-friends-with-benefits thing,
14:31and...
14:33We were had some together as...
14:36business partners...
14:39slash...
14:41whatever.
14:55Let's go.
14:57Harold!
14:58Find my brother!
15:00Hey!
15:01E.J.
15:02What is this got you all worked out?
15:03Have you seen Tony?
15:04No!
15:05Has he said anything to you about the mirror?
15:07No, E.J.
15:08What is going on?
15:09Plenty, and I'm going to go to stop him.
15:18It's a cop-out.
15:21Look, you can't just use me, Chanel, and Lonnie
15:25as an excuse not to make a choice.
15:28And the longer you take,
15:29it's going to be harder for everyone.
15:34You're right.
15:35You're right.
15:38Yeah.
15:40But...
15:42Before you make any decision,
15:44there's something you should know.
15:47I'm not sure if it's going to hurt or help to tell you,
15:50but you deserve to know all the facts.
15:54What's that?
15:55I'm not the only one E.J. told about Mom.
16:01Pauline and you, too.
16:05Weeks ago.
16:12I'm no stranger to, uh,
16:14video conferencing.
16:18And I see no reason that I couldn't
16:22do the tutoring
16:24virtually.
16:27Uh, but I have to stop by the D.A.'s office first
16:31and get them
16:32to sign off on it.
16:36Thank you, Julie.
16:37You have no idea how much this means to me.
16:40Well, I'm not doing it for you.
16:42I'm doing it for Ari.
16:45I agree
16:46that this combination of, uh,
16:48Liam and Ari is not for the best.
16:50And perhaps if
16:51Liam leaves town,
16:53has a fresh start,
16:54there will be some benefit.
16:56Thank you for understanding.
17:00Well, despite your efforts
17:01to murder me,
17:04I've never doubted the fact
17:05that you love your daughter.
17:08You want what's best for her,
17:10naturally.
17:12We have that in common.
17:18Pauline.
17:21Pauline,
17:22do you know about Lexi?
17:26Not from the beginning.
17:29After her office began to suspect
17:31about how much power
17:32E.J.'s lab was using,
17:34she started to look into it.
17:37And E.J.
17:40actually told her the truth.
17:42Well, you had to.
17:44And after he explained
17:46that there actually was a chance
17:48that Mom could
17:50come back alive,
17:52he caught Pauline's bluff.
17:54He practically bent her
17:56to expose what he was doing,
17:58but she could not do it.
18:01She couldn't do it
18:03because she wanted
18:04to make us happy.
18:07Dad,
18:10Pauline
18:10is the reason
18:12Mom's alive.
18:22I know that you,
18:24you know,
18:24this might be a bit
18:26overwhelming.
18:27And I understand
18:28if you feel a bit threatened.
18:30Threatened?
18:31I'm not.
18:32Not by you, anyway.
18:36Now, you better
18:36watch yourself.
18:38Now, I understand
18:39that you've been asleep
18:40for 15 years,
18:41but here right now,
18:42here 2026,
18:44we women,
18:44we are no longer
18:45in the business
18:46of tearing each other down.
18:47I have no interest
18:48in tearing you down,
18:50Paulina.
18:51Not that I would need you
18:52with the reputation
18:53you made for yourself.
18:55You con Abe
18:56into giving you
18:57Horton Town Square
18:59zoning rights
18:59so you could level it
19:01to the ground
19:01from what I read.
19:02I didn't go through
19:04with it,
19:05and Abe forgave me.
19:06Right.
19:07Did he also
19:08forgive you
19:09for taking his job?
19:11Well,
19:11you know,
19:12this is not how it was.
19:14Abraham had amnesia
19:16for a while,
19:17but...
19:21Now,
19:22the important thing
19:23is that Abe
19:24supports me
19:25100%.
19:26And do you
19:27support him
19:28100%?
19:30Absolutely.
19:31I'm glad to hear it.
19:33In that case,
19:34you won't think twice
19:37about stepping back
19:39and letting Abe
19:41reclaim the life
19:42that was so cruelly
19:44taken away from him.
19:46You'll let him
19:47reunite with the family
19:49he made
19:50with the love
19:51of his life
19:53without you
19:54getting in our way.
20:00Gabby Hernandez
20:01is CEO
20:02of Father's Company
20:04again?
20:05It's outrageous.
20:06I mean,
20:06it's bad enough
20:07that she claimed
20:07a part of our inheritance
20:09and now
20:09attorney officer
20:10of the family company
20:11is a little cherry
20:12on top.
20:12I'm right,
20:13it's outrageous.
20:14And if that
20:16swinish brother
20:17of ours
20:17is determined
20:18to keep the company
20:19and the family,
20:19then why didn't
20:20you just ask me
20:21to be CEO?
20:23You?
20:25Yes,
20:26me.
20:27Why the hell
20:29not me?
20:35But
20:37are you really
20:38interested in
20:38owning a hospital
20:39or
20:41is it your way
20:42of
20:45cementing our
20:45relationship?
20:49Cementing
20:50our relationship?
20:54Okay,
20:55you've made
20:55your feelings
20:56for me
20:57or lack thereof
20:58abundantly clear.
21:00No.
21:01God,
21:02you really need
21:03to get your EJ
21:03in check,
21:04you know that?
21:05I wouldn't just
21:06shell out millions
21:07to cement
21:08anything with you.
21:10I just...
21:13I thought that,
21:14um,
21:15buying the hospital
21:16together
21:17could be a
21:18fantastic investment
21:19for both of us.
21:21No.
21:23No.
21:24We agreed
21:24on a 50-50 deal,
21:26EJ.
21:26You can't
21:27just renegotiate
21:29the deal.
21:30I'm grateful
21:31for your part
21:33in this, Glenn.
21:34And need I
21:35remind you,
21:35you've already
21:36seen quite a large
21:37return on your investment.
21:39Dimitri's
21:39inheritance
21:40is something
21:40completely different.
21:42Not really.
21:43You wouldn't
21:44have seen
21:45a red cent
21:46without my help.
21:50not to mention
21:51it would be
21:51the ultimate
21:52revenge
21:53against DJ.
21:54Oh.
21:56That does
21:57make it
21:57very tempting.
21:58Hmm.
22:00I thought it would.
22:02It's just,
22:02unfortunately,
22:04Titan's
22:04precarious
22:05situation
22:06means I don't
22:06have the funds
22:07to even
22:07consider
22:08partnering with you.
22:18Gabby's
22:19the reason
22:19Titan's
22:20in this mess.
22:22What's that
22:22supposed to mean?
22:24Well,
22:25I just
22:25meant
22:26that
22:28she showed
22:29no loyalty
22:30to you
22:31when Titan
22:32Damaris
22:33split up.
22:34I mean,
22:34she could have
22:34joined forces
22:35with you
22:36when Tony
22:36gave you
22:37back the
22:37company
22:37and
22:39instead of
22:39going solo
22:40and
22:40anyway,
22:42I tried.
22:43I know
22:43you're busy.
22:44No,
22:44I don't think
22:45that's what
22:45you meant
22:45at all.
22:47What are you
22:48telling me,
22:48Anna?
22:49Nothing.
22:51Really,
22:51nothing.
22:52Anna,
22:53tell me the
22:53truth.
22:55Now.
22:59Okay.
23:00Okay.
23:02As I'm
23:03sure you're
23:03aware,
23:04I am
23:05privy to
23:05a lot
23:06of the
23:06backdoor
23:06dealings
23:07you've
23:08had
23:08with
23:08Tony.
23:09So,
23:10I know
23:11that he
23:11was only
23:12able to
23:12wrest
23:13control
23:13of
23:13Damara
23:15back
23:17after he
23:18found out
23:19that you
23:19had
23:21embellished
23:21Victor's
23:22final wishes.
23:24Because
23:25someone
23:25planted
23:26a bug
23:26in our
23:27office.
23:28Mm-hmm.
23:33Wait.
23:36Are you
23:37saying it
23:37was Gabby?
23:39Oh, dear,
23:40I shouldn't
23:40have opened
23:41my big mouth.
23:42It had
23:42to be
23:42Gabby.
23:43She had
23:43access to
23:44the office.
23:44Oh,
23:44my God.
23:45I didn't
23:46mean to
23:46tell you
23:47this way.
23:50But it's
23:50the truth,
23:51isn't it?
23:53Yes.
23:54Gabby is
23:55the reason
23:55that your
23:57family lost
23:58almost
23:59everything.
24:05Well.
24:07I'm
24:07sorry.
24:09It's
24:10just that
24:10the old
24:10saying is
24:11true.
24:13We do
24:14deify the
24:15dead.
24:17I thought
24:17I'd never
24:18compare to
24:19the faintly
24:20lexic
24:20of everybody's
24:21talking about.
24:23She was
24:24so innocent,
24:25so pure.
24:27But that's
24:28just all
24:28revisionist
24:29history.
24:32You're a
24:33real fighter,
24:34aren't you?
24:35Damn right
24:36I am.
24:37Well,
24:37so am I.
24:39But if you
24:40thought I was
24:40pulling out
24:41the claws
24:42to fight
24:43for my
24:44man,
24:46I'm afraid
24:47I'll be
24:47leaving you
24:47disappointed.
24:49Then why
24:50is that?
24:52Because
24:54because I'm
24:55I'm stepping
24:56aside,
24:57Lex.
24:58You're
24:59Abraham's
25:00wife.
25:00And I'm
25:01not standing
25:02in the way
25:03of your
25:03happily ever
25:04after.
25:05You coming
25:06back,
25:08it's a
25:08miracle.
25:09And it
25:10should be a
25:10joyous one
25:11for Abraham
25:12and for
25:12Theo.
25:13So me
25:14being here,
25:14it complicates
25:17things.
25:18So I'm
25:19taking myself
25:20out of the
25:21equation.
25:24I don't
25:25know what
25:25to say.
25:29Oh,
25:29thanks
25:30necessarily.
25:32Just don't
25:33make me
25:34regret my
25:35decision.
25:53hard
25:54pass,
25:55eh?
25:56Hmm.
25:56That's
25:57too bad.
25:58I'm just
25:59not the
26:00guy you're
26:00looking for,
26:01Gwen.
26:02If I'm
26:03being honest,
26:04this
26:05uncomplicated
26:06dynamic
26:07between us
26:08is starting
26:09to feel
26:10like anything
26:10but.
26:14You said
26:15I wanted
26:15complicated.
26:17What we
26:18have now
26:18suits me
26:19just fine.
26:21Hmm.
26:23Hmm.
26:27Hmm.
26:28Hmm.
26:29Hmm.
26:29Hmm.
26:30Hmm.
26:31Hmm.
26:31Whoa.
26:32Do you
26:33just
26:33smell it?
26:34What?
26:36Burnt
26:37toast?
26:38Burnt
26:39toast?
26:39It's
26:40probably
26:40the
26:40neighbors.
26:55Oh,
26:58my
27:04Kristen, don't you think it might be a bit of a PR challenge for you to be CEO of the
27:10Mirror
27:10since the entire world thinks you tried to murder me?
27:15Our PR team has dealt with much worse, and besides, I have plenty of experience.
27:23Oh, you mean like your most recent stint?
27:27Remind me, didn't that end up with Triton launching a successful takeover of the company?
27:33Not my fault.
27:35You were the one who distracted all of us by getting yourself shot.
27:41Oh, yes. My bad.
27:43You're damn right it is.
27:45And Rachel never would have done what she did if you had never abducted my mother.
27:50Are we really doing this again?
27:52Now is as good a time as any.
27:54Fine.
27:55Yeah.
27:55Then allow me to point out that you're Rachel's mother.
28:00Mm-hmm.
28:02Have you ever wondered where she learned this sociopathic behavior from?
28:09She has never seen me point to God, if that is what you are implying.
28:14Oh, her big cousin Johnny, though.
28:19Stellar influence.
28:22Gee, I wonder where he learned that behavior from.
28:27You know what?
28:28Screw this.
28:32I am Team Tony all the way.
28:35And it is fine, whomever he names as CEO, as long as it's not your son.
28:48Philip.
28:50Hi.
28:50Hey.
28:53I know I'm no longer at Demura anymore, but I was hoping I could put in a good word about
28:59this lawsuit.
29:02Oh, I've got to get home.
29:05Jack and Jennifer are arriving momentarily.
29:08All right, of course.
29:09And thank you again for your help.
29:12Hmm.
29:23I see you.
29:30Are you sad you have news?
29:34I sure do.
29:41Gwen?
29:45What the hell happened to you?
29:58Oh, there you are.
30:01Well, good morning, EJ.
30:03Well, it's been anything but good.
30:05I understand from Theo that you're trying to ask my son from his CEO chair.
30:09Is that true?
30:10Oh, I'm afraid it is.
30:12And you didn't think to consult me about this?
30:16You have no say in this matter, EJ.
30:18I own the company.
30:20And you made it clear.
30:21You weren't interested in the job.
30:23Well, I'm sure as hell interested now.
30:30Hey, Mo.
30:32How are you feeling?
30:34Better than ever.
30:35Oh, yeah?
30:37Why's that?
30:37I have some big news.
30:40Paulina stopped by earlier without your father.
30:44Really?
30:46How, uh, how did that go?
30:49Quite well, actually.
30:51She agreed to step aside.
30:53Said she doesn't want to get in the way of us becoming a family again.
30:59Oh.
31:01Wow.
31:02Wow.
31:04I figured you'd be happy to hear this.
31:07Uh, uh, I am.
31:12But as happy as I am for you and Dad,
31:16my heart breaks through Paulina.
31:28Paulina?
31:34What, what are you doing?
31:37I'm moving out.
31:43Congrats.
31:44You're officially a DiMera heir.
31:48Really?
31:50I got the call from my graphologist.
31:53They've confirmed Vivian Forge-Steffen's signature on your divorce papers.
31:58Oh, my God.
32:00I can't believe this.
32:06Philip.
32:07Yep.
32:09You're a DiMera through and through.
32:11Uh, what is that supposed to mean?
32:15It's funny.
32:17I was this close to not telling you I had proof that you were still married to Stefan when he
32:22died.
32:24What?
32:24Why, why wouldn't you tell me the truth?
32:28Karma?
32:29I thought it served you right.
32:31Letting you live a lie like you've been doing to me this whole time.
32:35But I figured the truth would come out eventually.
32:37It always does.
32:39Philip, I don't even know what you're talking about.
32:44Let me spell it out for you.
32:48I know you planted the bug in my office, Gabby.
32:52I know that you gave Tony the proof of fraud he needed to take back his company.
32:57I know that you're the reason that Xander and I lost DiMera.
33:04It's my standards.
33:05And it's important for me to know that whoever runs DiMera Enterprises has a consistent and steady hand.
33:15who views it as a lucrative business endeavor,
33:19not an extension of their ego.
33:22Don't pretend you're not enjoying this little power trip.
33:26Now, you may own this company,
33:32but I am his heir apparent.
33:37You do go to remember that.
33:41Bob.
33:47The fire sprinklers went off in Xander's place.
33:52So, things got that hot, didn't they?
33:56I wish.
33:57No, some stupid neighbor burnt some toast.
34:00The whole place filled up with smoke, hence.
34:05Well, that's a hell of a way to start the morning.
34:09Did Xander come with you?
34:11No, he had quite the mess to clean up, actually.
34:14Oh, that's too bad.
34:16How's his elbow, by the way?
34:18Oh, he's still in a lot of pain.
34:21Hang on, how do you know about that?
34:24Oh, well, I...
34:25I bumped into him at the hospital when I was visiting my sister.
34:30Yeah, right, of course.
34:32How is Lexi?
34:33Oh, well, she is still unexpectedly, uh...
34:38Alive.
34:41Oh, you know what?
34:43Here I am, just gabbing, gabbing, gabbing, gabbing, gabbing.
34:45All right, why don't you, um, go take a shower and, you know, put on some new clothes.
34:51I'm sure that's what you want to do.
34:54What?
34:55What is that look?
34:58So, I didn't know, Beto.
34:59I'd say you're trying to get rid of me.
35:01He's...
35:02He's on his way, isn't he?
35:05Who?
35:06The mystery man that you've been hooking up with?
35:10Oh.
35:11Oh.
35:12All right, Gwen, you got me.
35:16Yes, I invited someone over.
35:19Mm, right.
35:21Well, I will let you get to it, then.
35:24But you'd best tell me all those naughty, juicy details.
35:28Cocktails in the square later.
35:29Oh, you got it.
35:31Oh, hey.
35:31Okay.
35:32Uh-huh.
35:34Uh-huh.
35:42Well, I thought she'd never leave.
35:45Mm.
35:58Squirrel.
36:00Oh, my God.
36:05That was so close.
36:09I wouldn't have texted you if I hadn't known you as Gwen.
36:12Sure you would have.
36:14Mm.
36:14Did you like the danger?
36:17Yeah, but I'm surprised.
36:19Surprised you.
36:20Mm.
36:21Ditched Gwen.
36:23Oh, Xander, what's the matter?
36:25Is she not doing it for you anymore?
36:27No, it's not that.
36:28It's just, um...
36:30Well, it's just...
36:31Cool feelings.
36:33Mm.
36:35Oh.
36:35I'd hate it when that happens.
36:37Mm-hmm.
36:38Dad.
36:41Just...
36:41Uh-uh.
36:42Be careful with my hair.
36:43Do not worry.
36:47I'll be very gentle this time.
36:50Mm-hmm.
36:50Oh.
36:53Oh.
36:57Philip, I...
36:59I...
36:59No.
37:00Don't you dare lie to me again.
37:02I poured my heart out to you about what I've done.
37:06How ashamed I was.
37:07And you stood there and said nothing about what you've done.
37:10Done to me.
37:12Please, please, let me...
37:13No, there's nothing to explain.
37:15I might have forgiven you if you had told me the truth yourself, but now...
37:20Who told you?
37:25Doesn't matter.
37:27You don't have yourself to blame for this.
37:31I'm done.
37:32Gabby, I don't want anything to do with you anymore.
37:34I don't want to hear another word to say.
37:36I don't want to see your face ever again.
37:38No.
37:38I don't want you gone from my family's house immediately.
37:41So pack your things and get the hell out.
37:53Oh, there you are.
37:55I wonder what you'd run off to.
37:56Oh, I was just paying a visit to Philip Kiriakis.
38:02And I'm afraid I might have blurted out something you told me in confidence.
38:09What's that?
38:12That Gabby was your corporate spy?
38:17Good God.
38:18But I didn't tell him that you were the one who put her up to it.
38:24And so there's no legal jeopardy on your end.
38:28So the only thing in dire straits right now is Gabby and Philip's relationship.
38:33And since he won't want to have anything to do with Gabby now,
38:36there's nothing stopping her from, you know, accepting the CEO position.
38:41So you and I can go back to Europe.
38:43We can go to Paris and London.
38:44Oh, please.
38:53Did it occur to you that Gabby's now going to think that I'm the one who told Philip about her?
39:00And now she'll never work for me.
39:04Oh, dear, I never, I never thought of that.
39:11You've always had a big heart, Theo.
39:16But I wouldn't worry too much about Paulina.
39:19From what I gather, she's made of tough stock.
39:23She'll be okay, eventually.
39:27I know.
39:30But it's not just Paulina I feel bad for.
39:34What are you saying?
39:37Well, you know how I've always had a hard time with change.
39:41And Chanel and Lonnie, they're like sisters to me.
39:45Paulina, she's been there for me whenever I needed her.
39:50I'm not saying that she came as a replacement to you,
39:53but she's like family to me, too.
39:56Oh.
39:59I hope you understand that.
40:02Of course I can, Theo.
40:06Come here, darling.
40:19Paulina.
40:20Paulina, please, please, please.
40:22Let's talk about this.
40:23There's nothing to talk about.
40:25I've already made my decision.
40:27I'm not going to be the reason that your family stays apart any longer.
40:32I love you and Theo too much for that.
40:35Theo told me that you knew what was going on with Lexie before she came back to us.
40:43I did.
40:45I did, yes.
40:47You could have stopped, E.J.
40:51You could have used your office to shut down this experiment.
41:01I wanted you.
41:04Because I, even if you never found out, I could never have forgiven myself for keeping your wife away from
41:13you.
41:15Even though I hated the idea of E.J. playing God with her life.
41:22But now, now you're playing God with mine, Paulina.
41:32Well, if I hadn't, would you have made a different one?
41:51I didn't think so.
42:06Goodbye, Abraham.
42:27Goodbye, Abraham.
42:54Goodbye, Abraham.
43:23Goodbye, Abraham.
43:26Goodbye, Abraham.
43:28Goodbye, Abraham.
43:31Goodbye, Abraham.
43:33Goodbye, Abraham.
43:34Goodbye, Abraham.
43:34Goodbye, Abraham.
