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.
01:09Hmm.
01:14Hmm.
01:19Hmm.
01:28His sick game ends here.
01:30and now.
02:00What kind of gamer are you playing, Father?
02:05Morning, Theo.
02:07Luigi.
02:08Uh, hey, how's Johnny doing?
02:11Much better.
02:12He 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.
03:21I'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.
03:37Julie, I 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.
03:47Turned me?
03:48She turned you down?
03:50Why would she do that?
03:53Conflict of interest.
03:54She doesn't want to compete against Titan, now 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?
04:10Well, 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.
04:37Well, 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.
04:57Unacceptable.
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.
05:31Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.
05:46Oh.
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.
06:07It's just that...
06:08Maybe we should just...
06:10Talk.
06:11For the time being, eh?
06:13Want to talk?
06:15Yeah.
06:17Yeah, that's fine.
06:18All right.
06:19What's on your mind?
06:22Well...
06:22You mentioned something about wanting to, uh...
06:27Add value to this arrangement.
06:29What do you mean by that?
06:43Tony and Johnny out of Demura.
06:46I'm sorry.
06:48I thought you knew.
06:50And 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.
07:26Who else does Tony have on his shorts?
07:29I have no idea.
07:31Please, 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 keep going.
07:41My dad's in there.
07:42I'm meeting him for breakfast.
07:44Of course.
07:46Catch up, sir.
07:47Mm-hmm.
07:50Damn it, Tony!
07:54Knock, knock.
07:56Hi, Philip.
07:58Anna.
07:59This 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.
09:12Oh, my 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...
10:11Dad, that 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 Theo that you're back.
10:34For you, of course.
10:36Does Aiden know you're here?
10:38No, no.
10:39I 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.
10:55I am.
11:01Did you think I was just going to give up my husband?
11:05That I wouldn't fight for him?
11:07No, of course not.
11:10Listen, Paulina.
11:11Price, 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?
11:2515 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.
11:47I 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
12:06that 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
12:17would 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
12:42because the court is making him complete these tutoring sessions with you.
12:46So 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.
13:08Phillip, 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, um, added value thing.
13:42Well, I do have good authority
13:47that, um, the hospital board is absolutely up in arms
13:51over EJ's Frankensteinian experiments.
13:55And, uh, now that my divorce with Demetrius finalized,
13:59I have come into a lot of money,
14:05as you well know.
14:08And, um,
14:11well, I figured since you tried to
14:13outbid EJ on the hospital last year,
14:16that we could, uh...
14:19What?
14:21Team what?
14:23Exactly.
14:26We could
14:27ditch this
14:28not friends with benefits thing,
14:31and
14:31where we're hearts and together as
14:36business partners
14:39slash
14:40whatever.
14:57Harold!
14:58Find my brother!
15:00Hey!
15:01EJ!
15:02Why don't you just count you all worked out?
15:03Have you seen it, honey?
15:04No!
15:05Has he said anything to you about the mirror?
15:07No, EJ!
15:07What 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
15:23me, 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.
15:35Right.
15:38Yeah.
15:39But
15:42before you make any decision,
15:44there's something you should know.
15:47I'm not sure if it's in the 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 EJ told about, Mom.
16:01Paulina knew, too.
16:05Weeks ago.
16:12I'm no stranger to video conferencing.
16:18And I see no reason that I couldn't
16:21do the tutoring virtually.
16:24Julie?
16:27Uh, but I have to stop by the DA's office first
16:31and get them to 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 Artie.
16:45I agree
16:46that this combination of, uh,
16:48Liam and Artie
16:49is 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 to 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.
17:18Paulina?
17:21Paulina, do you know about Lexi?
17:26Not from the beginning.
17:29After her office began to suspect
17:31about how much power E.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 come back alive.
17:52He caught Paulina's bluff.
17:54He practically bent her
17:56to expose what he was doing,
17:58but she could not do it.
18:02She couldn't do it
18:03because she wanted to make us happy.
18:06Dad,
18:10Paulina is the reason Mom's alive.
18:22I know that you, you know,
18:24this might be a bit overwhelming.
18:27And I understand if you feel a bit threatened.
18:29Threatened?
18:31I'm not.
18:33Not by you, anyway.
18:36Now, you better watch yourself.
18:38Now, I understand that you've been asleep for 15 years,
18:41but here right now,
18:42here 2026,
18:44we women,
18:44we are no longer in the business
18:46of tearing each other down.
18:47I have no interest
18:48in tearing you down, Paulina.
18:51Not that I would need you
18:52with the reputation you made for yourself.
18:55You conned Abe into giving you
18:57Horton Town Square zoning rights
18:59so you could level it to the ground
19:01from what I read.
19:02I didn't go through with it,
19:05and Abe forgave me.
19:06Right.
19:07Did he also forgive you
19:09for taking his job?
19:11Well, you know,
19:12this is not how it was.
19:15Abraham had amnesia for a while,
19:16but...
19:21Now, the important thing is
19:23that Abe supports me 100%.
19:26And do you support him 100%?
19:30Absolutely.
19:32Glad to hear it.
19:33In that case,
19:34you won't think twice
19:37about stepping back
19:39and letting Abe reclaim the life
19:42that was so cruelly taken away from him.
19:46You'll let him reunite with the family
19:49he made with the love of his life
19:53without you getting in our way.
20:00Gabby Hernandez is CEO
20:02of Father's Company again?
20:05It's outrageous.
20:06I mean, it's bad enough
20:07that she claimed her part
20:08of her inheritance
20:09and now attorney officer
20:10of the family company
20:11is a little cherry on top.
20:12Yeah, damn right,
20:13it's outrageous.
20:14And if that
20:16swinish brother of ours
20:17is determined to keep
20:18the company and the family,
20:19then why didn't he just ask me
20:21to be CEO?
20:23You?
20:25Yes, me.
20:28Why the hell not me?
20:35Hey, are you really interested
20:38in owning a hospital
20:39or is this your way of
20:44cementing our relationship?
20:49Cementing our relationship?
20:54Okay, you've made your feelings
20:56for me or lack thereof
20:58abundantly clear.
21:00No.
21:01God, you really need to get
21:03your ego in check,
21:04you know that?
21:05I wouldn't just shell out millions
21:07to cement anything with you.
21:10I just...
21:13I thought that, um...
21:15buying the hospital together
21:17could be a fantastic investment
21:19for both of us.
21:21No.
21:23No.
21:24We agreed on a 50-50 deal, EJ.
21:26You can't just renegotiate the deal.
21:30I'm grateful for your part
21:33in this, Gwen.
21:34And need I remind you,
21:35you've already seen
21:36quite a large return
21:38on your investment.
21:39Demetri's inheritance
21:40is something
21:40completely different.
21:42Oh, really?
21:43You wouldn't have seen
21:44a red cent
21:46without my help.
21:50Not to mention
21:51it would be
21:51the ultimate revenge
21:53against DJ.
21:55Oh.
21:56That does make it
21:57very tempting.
21:59Hmm.
22:00I thought it would.
22:02It's just,
22:02unfortunately,
22:04Titan's precarious situation
22:06means I don't have the funds
22:07to even consider
22:08partying with you.
22:18Gabby's the reason
22:19Titan's in this mess.
22:22What's that supposed to mean?
22:24Well, I just meant
22:26that she showed no loyalty
22:30to you
22:31when Titan and Damaris
22:33split up.
22:34I mean,
22:34she could have
22:34joined forces with you
22:36when Tony gave you
22:37back the company
22:37and instead of going solo.
22:40And anyway,
22:41I tried.
22:43I know you're busy.
22:44No,
22:44I don't think
22:45that's what you meant at all.
22:47What are you telling me,
22:48Anna?
22:49Nothing.
22:51Really,
22:51nothing.
22:52Anna,
22:52tell me the truth.
22:55Now.
22:58Okay.
23:00Okay.
23:02As I'm sure you're aware,
23:04I am privy
23:05to a lot of the
23:06backdoor dealings
23:07you've had with Tony.
23:09So,
23:10I know
23:11that he was only able
23:12to wrest control
23:13of Damara
23:15back
23:17after he found out
23:19that you had
23:21embellished
23:21Victor's final wishes.
23:25Because someone
23:25planted a bug
23:26in our office.
23:28Mm-hmm.
23:33Wait.
23:36Are you saying
23:37it was Gabby?
23:39Oh, dear.
23:40I shouldn't have
23:40opened my big mouth.
23:42It had to be Gabby.
23:43She had access
23:43to the office.
23:44Oh, my God.
23:45I didn't mean
23:46to tell you
23:47this way.
23:49But it's the truth,
23:51isn't it?
23:53Yes.
23:54Gabby is the reason
23:55that
23:57your family
23:58lost almost
23:59everything.
24:05Oh,
24:06well.
24:07I'm sorry?
24:09It's just
24:10that the old
24:10saying is true.
24:13we do
24:14deify the dead.
24:17I thought
24:17I'd never compare
24:18to the
24:19faintly
24:20lexic
24:20of everybody's
24:21talking about.
24:23She was
24:24so innocent,
24:25so pure.
24:27Yeah,
24:27but that's
24:28just all
24:28revisionist history.
24:32You're
24:32a real
24:33fighter,
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 leaving
24:47you disappointed.
24:49Then why
24:50is that?
24:52Because,
24:55because I'm,
24:55I'm stepping
24:56aside,
24:57Lex.
24:58You're Abraham'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 miracle,
25:09and it should
25:10be a joyous
25:11one for
25:11Abraham and
25:12for Theo.
25:13So,
25:13me being
25:14here,
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.
25:28Oh,
25:29thanks,
25:30necessary.
25:32Just don't
25:33make me
25:34regret
25:34my decision.
25:53Hard pass,
25:55eh?
25:55Hmm,
25:57that's
25:57too bad.
25:58I'm just
25:59not the
26:00guy you're
26:00looking for,
26:01Gwen,
26:01and if I'm
26:03being honest,
26:04this
26:05uncomplicated
26:06dynamic
26:07between us
26:08is,
26:09it's 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.
26:22Hmm.
26:23Hmm.
26:24Hmm.
26:25Hmm.
26:26Hmm.
26:26Hmm.
26:27Hmm.
26:31Sure.
26:32Do you
26:33smell it?
26:34What?
26:36Burnt toast.
26:38Burnt toast.
26:39It's probably
26:40the neighbors.
27:05Kristen, don't you think it might be a bit of a PR challenge
27:08for you to be CEO of the Mirror since 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 Titan launching a successful takeover of the company?
27:33Not my fault. You were the one who distracted all of us by getting yourself shot.
27:41Oh, yes. My bad.
27:43You're damn right it is. And Rachel never would have done what she did if you had never abducted my
27:49mother.
27:50Are we really doing this again?
27:52Now is as good a time as any.
27:54Fine.
27:55Yeah.
27:56Then allow me to point out that you're Rachel's mother.
28:01Have you ever wondered where she learned this sociopathic behavior from?
28:08She has never seen me point to God, if that is what you're implying.
28:15Oh, her big cousin Johnny, though. Stellar influence.
28:22Gee, I wonder where he learned that behavior from.
28:27You know what? Screw this.
28:32I am Team Tony all the way, and it is fine whomever he names as CEO, as long as it's
28:41not your son.
28:48Philip.
28:50Hey.
28:51Hey.
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 gotta get home.
29:04Jack and Jennifer are arriving momentarily.
29:08All right, of course.
29:09And thank you again for your help.
29:12Hmm.
29:23See you.
29:30You said you had news?
29:34I sure do.
29:41Gwen?
29:45What the hell happened to you?
29:58Oh.
29:59There you are.
30:01Well, good morning, Adrian.
30:03Well, it's been anything but.
30:05Good.
30:05I understand from fear 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, AJ.
30:18I own the company.
30:20And you made it clear you weren't interested in the job.
30:23Well, I'm sure as hell interested now.
30:30Hey, Mom.
30:32How are you feeling?
30:34Better than ever.
30:35Oh, yeah?
30:36Why's that?
30:37I have some big news.
30:40Paulina stopped by earlier without your father.
30:44Really?
30:46How, uh...
30:47How 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.
30:58Paulina.
30:59Oh.
31:01Wow.
31:02Wow.
31:04I figured you'd be happy to hear this.
31:07Uh, uh...
31:08I am.
31:12But as happy as I am for you and Dad,
31:16my heart breaks for Paulina.
31:23Paulina.
31:25Paulina.
31:26Paulina.
31:27Paulina.
31:27Paulina.
31:28Oh, yeah.
31:34What...
31:35What 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.
32:12Uh, 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...
32:25Why wouldn't you tell me the truth?
32:28Karma.
32:29Thought 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.
32:53I 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.
33:04I understand it.
33:06And 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, not an extension of their ego.
33:22Don't pretend you're not enjoying this little power trip.
33:27Now, you may own this company, but I am his heir apparent.
33:37You do go to remember that.
33:41Oh.
33:47The fire sprinklers went off in Xander's place.
33:52So, uh, things got that hot, didn't they?
33:56I wish, you know, some stupid neighbor burnt some toast, the whole place filled up with smoke, hence...
34:06Well, that's a hell of a way to start the morning.
34:09Did, um, Xander come with you?
34:11No, he had quite the mess to clean up, actually.
34:14Oh, that's too bad.
34:16How's this elbow, by the way?
34:18Oh, he's still in a lot of pain.
34:21Hang on, how do you know about that?
34:23Oh, 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, uh, still unexpectedly, uh...
34:38Alive.
34:41Oh, you know what?
34:43Here I am, just gabbing, gabbing, gabbing, gabbing, gabbing.
34:45Why 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?
34:58If I didn't know, Beto, I'd say you're trying to get rid of me.
35:01He's, he's on his way, isn't he?
35:05Who?
35:06The mystery man that you've been hooking up with?
35:11Oh.
35:12Sorry, Gwen, you got me.
35:14Oh.
35:16Yes, I invited someone over.
35:19Mmm, 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.
35:43Well, I thought she'd never leave.
35:45Hmm.
36:04Oh, 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.
36:14Did you like the danger?
36:17Yeah, but I'm surprised.
36:19I'm surprised you.
36:21Ditched Gwen.
36:23Oh, Xander, what's the matter?
36:25Is she not doing it for you anymore?
36:27Oh, it's not that.
36:28It's just, um...
36:30Well, it's just a...
36:31Cool feelings.
36:35Oh, I hate it when that happens.
36:37Mm-hmm.
36:38Yeah.
36:41Just...
36:41Be careful with my hair.
36:43Do not worry.
36:46I'll be very gentle this time.
36:57Philip, I...
36:59I...
36:59No!
37:00Don't you dare lie to me again!
37:03I poured my heart out to you about what I'd done.
37:06How ashamed I was.
37:07And you stood there and said nothing about what you'd 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 leave yourself to blame for this.
37:31I'm done.
37:32Gabby, I don't want anything to do with you...
37:34Anymore.
37:35I 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.
37:52Oh, 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.
38:10What'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
38:55that Gabby's now going to think
38:56that I'm the one who told Philip about her?
39:00And now she'll never work for me.
39:04Oh, dear.
39:05I never...
39:06I never thought of that.
39:12You've always had a big heart, Theo.
39:16But I wouldn't worry too much about Paulina.
39:19From what I gather,
39:21she's made of tough stock.
39:23She'll be okay.
39:25Eventually.
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.
39:46Paulina, 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.
39:59I 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.
40:32Girl, I love you and Theo too much for that.
40:35Theo told me
40:37that you knew what was going on with Lexie
40:41before she came back to us.
40:44I did.
40:45I did, yes.
40:47You could have stopped, E.J.
40:51You could have used your office to shut down this experiment.
41:01Why didn't you?
41:04Because I, even if you never found out,
41:07I could never have forgiven myself for keeping your wife away from you.
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.
41:30Because of the decision I made?
41:38Well, if I hadn't,
41:42would you have made a different one?
41:51I didn't think so.
41:53I didn't think so.
42:06Goodbye, Abraham.
42:09Goodbye, Abraham.
42:11Goodbye, Abraham.
42:20Goodbye, Abraham.
42:23Goodbye, Abraham.
42:24Goodbye, Abraham.
42:26Goodbye, Abraham.
42:31Goodbye, Abraham.
42:35Goodbye, Abraham.
42:36Goodbye, Abraham.
42:37Goodbye, Abraham.
42:37Goodbye, Abraham.
42:37Goodbye, Abraham.
42:37Goodbye, Abraham.
42:37Goodbye, Abraham.
42:37Goodbye, Abraham.
