09:03i just want to keep you in the loop
09:06my lawyer submitted all the documentation to the court to nullify my divorce from stephan
09:12i'm not sure if the damaris still plan on fighting it but with the sworn statement that you got from
09:17avon
09:18and the report from your graphologist
09:21it'd be a losing battle if they did
09:26great
09:26great
09:28i'm in the loop now
09:34look
09:35i know you probably regret having helped me with this but
09:39i'm very grateful that you did
09:43and my offer still stands
09:45now that i'm entitled to stephan's inheritance
09:48i want you to have a portion
09:51as a token of my gratitude
09:54you mean your guilt
09:56no
09:57listen
09:57i don't want your money
10:00gabby
10:02i don't want a penny
10:03from you
10:09what do you mean you're quitting
10:13i mean that i'm tendering my resignation
10:16it's better to walk away with my head held high
10:20for god's sake johnny
10:21playing the martyr will only further jeopardize demira's future
10:25we can't keep playing musical chairs with the ceos
10:28it's not
10:30it's not about that
10:31okay
10:31and believe me i don't
10:33want to let the company down
10:34all right but i i just i can't keep working these crazy hours
10:40dealing with the pressure of being ceo all while i've got an infant at home and a
10:45pregnant wife who's
10:48a pregnant wife who's what
10:59who's fighting cancer
11:05wait you're saying you're saying that the drug that ej used to revive lexia it could possibly help mom
11:09it improved some of the cognitive functions and some of the lab rats
11:13which is seriously impressive considering they were you know dead
11:20oh my god
11:21what do you think that there's a way that you could get a dose to mom
11:26not before the fda approves it
11:27like i said
11:29and that could take years
11:31but ej had no issue giving it to his sister
11:34that's different lexi was dead
11:36ej didn't break any laws by giving her some non-fda approved drug
11:40giving it to a living human patient on the other hand
11:44who says the FDA ever has to find out
11:56wow who are you and what have you done with my sister
11:58oh don't pretend like it hasn't crossed your mind that you could sneak that miracle drug to mom
12:03yeah of course it has
12:05but i'm not doing anything that could throw me back in jail
12:10besides
12:10i don't have access to it anyway
12:13dr rolf keeps a tight lid on the entire supply
12:17well i wasn't saying you'd steal it
12:19i was
12:21i mean with your knowledge and inner workings of ej's lab
12:24i thought maybe i don't know you could find us a loophole
12:32we got the results of the biopsy back yesterday
12:35and confirmed that the tumor is malignant
12:46i'm so sorry son
12:49yeah we also
12:50we decided we're just going to keep it within the family
12:54for the time being
12:56i won't tell us all
12:57and when you do see chanel
13:00don't act like it's some big tragedy okay
13:02she's trying to stay positive
13:04we both are
13:05i understand
13:08then what can i do to help
13:09place some calls to john hopkins

20:28from time to time
20:33do you think he would go behind ej's back

20:39that's important for his research
20:41for mom to be included in the clinical trials
20:44the drug
20:50no no no never mind
20:53no i can't ask you to reach out to rolf

24:12and i'm actually glad i ran into you
24:14i wanted to say thank you for giving me some time off the last few days
24:18it meant a lot to aaron that i was able to go with him to sophia's memorial
24:23and gave us a moment to be able to check on our mother this morning
24:28i'm glad i could help
24:30i was just telling my son that family always has to come first
24:36i am glad that we agree on that because i have a huge personal favor to ask you
24:53i just can't believe you're here
24:56i'm having a hard time believing it myself
25:01and abe i'm sure this must be strange for you
25:05having me here instead of paulina since you probably think of this place as yours and hers
25:12i'm sure she even chose the paint on the walls
25:17you moved out of our house
25:21and then built a whole new life
25:23without me
25:27you know
25:28let's see
25:30you've always been in my life
25:34and in my heart

25:45she knew my feelings for you were
25:49forever
25:50no

25:53would you say the same about her
25:56that she'll always be in your life
25:59that she'll always be
26:03in your heart
26:06because i'm not sure i can be so accepting
26:16tell councilwoman delora we need to reschedule
26:21i know she's on a tight deadline
26:23but this is a family emergency
26:26don't do that
26:29let me call you back
26:34chanel
26:34that wasn't even a power in that
26:36well i couldn't sleep
26:38so no need to cancel your meeting
26:42let me worry about my schedule
26:44so what

27:33hey
27:34hey
27:35hey look mommy's okay
27:38see
27:41you know what i think would do us both some good
27:44how about some fresh air
27:46hmm
27:53phil i was just calling you
27:57I don't want to talk to you.
27:58Theo, wait.
28:01Please.
28:03I owe you a huge apology.
28:15I'm a little surprised.
28:17You have any questions for me?
28:19I thought the investigation had already been wrapped up.
28:22Just tying up some loose ends.
28:24Loose ends?
28:27The gun that Sophia used to knock you out, we found it in the river.
28:32Forensics confirmed that it had both your DNA and Sophia's on it.
28:36But it's untraceable.
28:38No serial number.
28:41So we are wondering how Sophia could have gotten her hands on it.
28:47And also, why would she go through all that trouble to obtain an untraceable gun if she wasn't planning to
28:53shoot you?
28:55Yeah.
28:56Yeah, that is...
28:58Strange.
29:02Johnny, did she say anything else to you after she attacked you?
29:09Something that you might not have remembered when you gave your first statement?
29:21Actually, yeah.
29:24Yeah, she...
29:26She did say something.
29:37I am so sorry that I lashed out at you like that, Hugh.
29:42Accused you of telling Philip that I drugged his office.
29:44Mm-hmm.
29:45I should have known that you'd never do anything like that.
29:48Yeah.
29:48You should have.
29:51So why the apology?
29:52What made you realize that I wasn't the one that betrayed you?
29:58I bumped into Philip and he set me straight.
30:03Oh.
30:05So if Philip hadn't vouched for me, you would still think that I'm a liar, dear Pat?
30:09Wait, no, no.
30:10I never thought of you that way.
30:13You know, it's funny.
30:14I thought that you had come to your senses because you actually knew me.
30:20Boy, was I wrong.
30:22No, Hugh, wait.
30:25Wait.
30:31Everything all lies?
30:36No.
30:38No, it isn't.
30:41My mother's dementia is rapidly progressing.
30:44She's not responding to any traditional treatments.
30:48I'm so sorry.
30:50Yeah.
30:52Clyde's brainwashing seems to have rewired her brain somehow.
30:57It's one more thing that monster did to hurt my family.
31:01Believe me, no one understands better than I do.
31:06So, what can I do to help?
31:09Well, I hate to even ask, but the drug you developed, the one that brought your sister back to life,
31:20is there any possible way could be used on my mother, maybe a clinical trial or some other means?
31:31I'm sorry, I didn't mean that you had to cut Paulina out of your life entirely, or that you couldn't
31:40be friends with her eventually.
31:42I would just prefer to get reacquainted with my husband first, without any distractions.
31:52I will call Paulina, and tell her that we would like some time to ourselves for a while.
32:01Or maybe we don't talk to her at all.
32:05I'm sure if you go no contact with her, she'll get the hand.
32:57I'm sure if you go no contact with her, she'll get the hand.
33:00I'm sure if you go no contact with her, she'll get the hand.
33:30What's your favorite activity these days?
33:31I can tell by that smile.
33:35So, what did you get from the world-renowned bakery, a.k.a. Sweet Bits?
33:40Oh, mango tarts for my mom.
33:44She got back from the hospital today.
33:47Oh, that's sweet.
33:54Look, Chanel, I know this is awkward.
33:58I'm sorry about what went down between my dad and your mom.
34:04Yeah, yeah, it's heartbreaking for my mother.
34:10But I don't want that to take away from the joy that you must have to have your mom back.
34:16Um, and, uh, look, I don't want things to be weird between us.
34:27They'll just be different.
34:34And, uh, Theo, well, you're family, so there's something that you should know.
34:42Theo?
34:43Theo, are you okay?
34:50I was definitely, you know, a little bit out of it from the fumes, but I've been trying to piece
35:01together some of what Sophia was saying to me while she had me tied up.
35:09Go on.
35:13I mean, somehow, she knew that I was going to be home alone.
35:18And she knew that Trey and Chanel weren't supposed to be back for hours.
35:23She even knew that they were supposed to be in Chicago with Lonnie and the twins at the aquarium.
35:33Any idea how she knew that?
35:37I don't know, maybe she was, maybe she was stalking us.
35:43She could have planted a bug in the apartment.
35:49Was Sophia ever at your place after she was released from Bayview?
35:52No, not that I'm, not that I'm aware of.
35:57And forensics, they didn't find any listening devices in your home when they reviewed the crime scene.
36:03Maybe she took it with her when she left?
36:06It's possible.
36:09But, maybe there's a simpler explanation.
36:13Someone might have told Sophia your family's plans for that day.
36:19I mean, who, who would do that?
36:31Sorry, uh, sensory overload.
36:37Yeah, I figured it was probably something like that.
36:40Yeah.
36:40Yeah.
36:42When I was a kid, I used to have all these types of meltdowns, and I came up with coping
36:47mechanisms.
36:48They used to always work, until recently.
36:52Why not recently?
36:54Well, they tend to happen when my brain tries to process all too much at once.
37:00Sounds, emotions, smells.
37:03Changes to my routine.
37:06Mm, and there has been a lot of change recently.
37:10Yeah.
37:12It's not like I'm not thrilled about my mom, but it's a big adjustment.
37:18And I, uh, I just ran into someone that I used to really like, until, uh, she accused me of
37:26lying.
37:27You?
37:28Lying?
37:29Oh, well, she obviously doesn't know you very well.
37:33That's honestly what hurt the most.
37:36So when I bumped into you, I was already on edge.
37:38And then when you said things could be different, I...
37:41Oh, well, Theo, I, I'm so sorry.
37:42I didn't mean that our relationship would be different.
37:45I just meant that, you know, my mom, she moved out.
37:48I know, I know, I know, I know.
37:49It's, it's okay, really.
37:51I was just overwhelmed.
37:54Were you gonna say something earlier?
37:57It seemed important.
37:58Um, oh, uh, yeah, I, I was just gonna say that.
38:07No matter what, I'll always be your sister.
38:11And I'll always love you.
38:13I love you, too.
38:15Family.
38:24Can you think of anyone else who might have known that Lonnie and Chanel were going to be in Chicago?
38:28for the day?
38:30Just family.
38:32Julie, Molina.
38:35Anyone else who might have interacted with Sophia?
38:38None that I'm aware of.
38:40You know, that's, that's okay.
38:43You've already given me a lot to look into.
38:45But, if you can think of anything else, you know how to reach me.
38:49Right.
38:50And, uh, yes, thank you, Commissioner.
38:53Mm-hmm.
38:53Mm-hmm.
39:07By some other means, you're implying?
39:12Well, my family doesn't have a lot of money, but we would be willing to pay whatever we have.
39:16That won't be necessary, Kat.
39:19I'll try and get a message to Rolf, ask him to review your mother's case.
39:24If he believes our drug can help her, then of course I'll give it to her.
39:32This means the absolute world to me.
39:34But, there'd be certain conditions.
39:38What kind of conditions?
39:40We can discuss the details later.
39:42Right now, I have a meeting with the benefits administrator.
39:46I was just about to remind you of that.
39:51Stay strong, okay?
40:10Hey, Rafe.
40:11It's me.
40:15I just laid a trap for E.J., and I'm pretty sure he's going to fall right into it.
40:28Phillip.
40:31I have nothing left to say to you.
40:33Oh, really?
40:34Because you just sent an awfully long email to my assistant.
40:38And why are you trying to cancel the Titan Gabby Sheep shipping deal?
40:43You can't figure that out?
40:45Because I don't want anything to do with you.
40:49Well, that's too bad.
40:51Because we have a contract.
40:53And more importantly, it would be stupid of you to throw away this opportunity just because you're mad at me.
40:59Your company needs this contract since you spurned my offer of the DeMera money.
41:05Maybe you didn't get the memo, Gabby.
41:08But money not only can't buy you love, it also doesn't erase betrayal.
41:14And it sure as hell can't fix what you broke.
41:18And throwing a self-destructive temper tantrum does.
41:23Phillip, if Titan goes down, it won't just be your ego that's bruised.
41:28Thousands of people will lose their jobs.
41:39Look, I know that underneath all of that anger, you're heartbroken.
41:49So am I.
41:53But I'm not letting you out of your contract.
41:57So it looks like we're going to have to work together, whether we like it or not.
42:04Abe, we can't avoid having this conversation, no matter how uncomfortable it makes you.
42:13Paulina stepped aside because she knew you couldn't break her heart by choosing to share your life with me.
42:23But I need to know, affirmatively, that you have made that choice.
42:31I am.
42:35Although I do admit that I feel badly for Paulina.
42:44You and I, you and I have built a beautiful family together.
42:53And I mourned you and missed you every day you're gone.
43:03And not just in my heart.
43:07But now you're here.
43:15And I can touch you.
43:21And I can do this.
43:28All right, fellas.
43:29Feeding time.
43:30Who is hungry?
43:34No.
43:35No, no.
43:35Miracle Max.
43:37Come on, buddy.
43:39Come on.
43:40You've come back from the dead once before.
43:43Think you can do it again?
43:44Goodbye.
43:58Bye.
43:59Bye.
