00:00I didn't want to leave Salem. I had no choice.
00:05Did you get a better job or something?
00:09Let's just say an opportunity presented itself that was too good to turn down.
00:15It's what I needed to do for me and my son.
00:18I mean, I get that.
00:21But what you did to me was pretty rude.
00:25You're right.
00:28But I'm sorry about that, Ari.
00:30I really am.
00:36So I guess this is it?
00:41Yeah.
00:44Since I'm here, I'd like to give you a proper goodbye.
01:05No.
01:06No puede ser.
01:07Excuse me?
01:10What is this?
01:11What the hell were you thinking coming back to Salem, let alone kissing my daughter?
01:19What are you talking about?
01:21Why shouldn't Liam be in Salem?
01:40My question is, would Titan have retained the records from Demira Pharmaceuticals when the company belonged to them?
01:51All files, communications, everything was scrubbed.
01:59However, given the history between Titan and Demira, and knowledge being power, as the old adage goes...
02:10So what are you saying?
02:13Are you saying that you still have copies of the files?
02:17Just tell me what you need.
02:26Kristen DiMera.
02:28Just the person I wanted to see.
02:31Well, I could say the same, although when you called, I wasn't expecting a request to meet you in your
02:40office.
02:43It's been a long time since I've done it on the dance.
02:50Well, since you're out of your sling, do you want to give it a whirl?
02:58Sorry, but this desk is strictly for business, which is why I need your help.
03:19Risa, would you care for a libation?
03:21No, thank you.
03:23I never drink before noon or during a crisis.
03:26How did you know we were in a crisis?
03:28Your voice on the phone, it had the unmistakable tone of extreme urgency.
03:36You know me so well.
03:38And I'm afraid I have some rather distressing news.
03:44I discovered that Kristen almost certainly enlisted Sophia Choi to try and kill my son.
03:53Had their fire department not shown up when they did, my depraved sister would have gotten her wish.
04:03No reaction.
04:04This is me shocked.
04:06And it takes a lot to shock me.
04:09But I must ask, are you sure?
04:14Quite.
04:29Holly's stable, but we've admitted her for observation.
04:34Thank God she's okay.
04:37Do they know what caused the seizure?
04:41It could be an electrolyte imbalance from the vomiting, but I am waiting on a neuro consult.
04:48And I put a rush on her blood work, so...
04:52Oh.
04:54Oh, wow.
04:54Yeah, good.
04:55The results are in.
05:00Sarah, what?
05:01What is that?
05:05What's wrong?
05:07What's wrong?
05:37Sarah, what's wrong with Holly?
05:41Uh, Tate, I...
05:43I need to ask you a question, and I need you to be honest with me.
05:48Yes.
05:49Of course.
05:50Yeah.
05:52Did you guys...
05:54take anything when you were at the cabin?
05:58What, like drugs?
06:00No.
06:01No, absolutely not.
06:03Holly would never do that.
06:04Not after what happened.
06:08Sarah, what do the results say?
06:14Uh...
06:19I need to talk to Holly.
06:30Uh...
06:32You want my help with work?
06:35I just need some information...
06:37about the mirror enterprise.
06:40Huh.
06:41What kind of information do you need?
06:44It's about EJ.
06:46I know you hate them, and I want to see them brought to his knees, and I thought maybe you
06:50were...
06:50How can I help?
06:59Kristen has certainly committed her share of questionable activities throughout the years, but trying to murder your son, it seems
07:10a bridge too far.
07:12Even for a dimera.
07:14Even for a dimera.
07:15Oh, thank you.
07:18I think.
07:24Rita.
07:27Who knows tears?
07:30Oh, normally...
07:32I only cry while chopping onions or watching America's Got Talent, but...
07:39To think that dear, sweet Giovanni, as your father so affectionately called him, was nearly murdered.
07:48I can't imagine why anyone, let alone his own aunt, would try to hurt him.
07:57Kristen wanted revenge for what she believes I did to her daughter.
08:01What could you have done?
08:03Last I heard, Rachel was safely tucked away in Bayview.
08:08My sister doesn't see Bayview as a safe place.
08:14She sees it as a hellhole where her daughter has been locked up against her will, and she blames me
08:20for putting her there.
08:22So she decided to retaliate...
08:26...by killing my son.
08:29I suppose we should thank our lucky star.
08:32She...
08:32She failed.
08:35So, what are you going to do about it?
08:39No.
08:41What are we going to do about it?
08:45Did I stutter?
08:59Hey, kiddo.
09:01How are you feeling?
09:03Horrible.
09:04What happened?
09:06You had a seizure.
09:08I didn't?
09:10Mm-hmm.
09:11Well...
09:11But you're stable now.
09:14And I got your blood work back.
09:17And do you know what's wrong with me?
09:20We're still working on it, baby.
09:21Maybe we are.
09:23Um...
09:24But the...
09:25The results of the blood work showed that you have a narcotic in your system.
09:31What?
09:32No, no, no, no.
09:33That's...
09:33That's impossible.
09:40Holly, I know that you don't want to get in trouble.
09:44That is not important.
09:46Okay?
09:47All that is important is your help.
09:51So I need you to tell me what you took.
10:01It's not that I think that Liam shouldn't be in Salem.
10:06It's just that I heard that he moved away, so I, um, I didn't expect to...
10:10No, no, that's not what you said.
10:12You asked what he was thinking coming back here like it's something he shouldn't have done.
10:21Oh, my God.
10:24Just when Liam and I were starting to get close, he left town.
10:29It was because of you, wasn't it?
10:36Wasn't it?
10:58So I've been looking into a drug manufactured by demerit pharmaceuticals a couple of years ago.
11:04There might be an, uh, issue with it.
11:07Why do you care about an demerit drug?
11:14Oh.
11:17Oh, I see.
11:19This has something to do with Sarah.
11:26So, why are we doing this to impress your ex?
11:29Because it's the right thing to do and there are lies at stake.
11:31Look, as I said before, I thought the prospect of bringing EJ down might appeal to you.
11:39Well, on one hand, I hope I'm not that predictable.
11:44But on the other?
11:46Oh, I have all ears.
11:48I assume you'll want to act quickly against Kristen.
11:55I've decided to let her sweat.
11:59Wait for the other shoe draw.
12:11Let's just say I've made it clear that the hammer will come down.
12:18It's just a question of when.
12:21Ah.
12:23The element of surprise.
12:25It's one of my favorites.
12:28That being said, Kristen's hammering may have to wait.
12:34As we have an urgent matter to deal with.
12:38Also involving your son.
12:42What?
12:43What now?
12:45I'm afraid naming Johnny CEO of DiMera may not have been the wisest decision after all.
12:58And, Sarah, I swear to you, I did not take anything.
13:02And no one gave you drugs?
13:04No.
13:05No, I've only been taking the meds Dr. Fuller prescribed me.
13:08That's it.
13:10Okay.
13:10The lab results did show your antidepressant, but it also showed a narcotic.
13:19All right, um, you get some rest, okay?
13:25You will get to the bottom of this.
13:27And I will call your mom and give her an update.
13:31That's okay, I'll just, I'll call her.
13:36Okay.
13:39Do you mind if I, uh, question Tate and his dad?
13:43Yeah, sure.
13:45But I really need to see Tate.
13:48Of course.
13:50Yeah, I'll send him in.
13:52Okay.
14:02I knew it.
14:05I knew it was your fault that Liam left town.
14:09Ari.
14:09But it wasn't because you scared him off.
14:12You said it yourself.
14:13It would take more than an overprotective mother to get a grown-ass man to leave town.
14:18So what did she do?
14:20To threaten you?
14:24To get some dirt on you and blackmail you with it?
14:29No.
14:35Clearly something's going on between you two, so what is it?
14:40I didn't threaten Liam or blackmail him.
14:46What did you do?
14:48Nothing.
14:49Don't lie to me.
14:55I gave him money.
14:57A lot of money to leave Salem so that my daughter wouldn't have a criminal in her life.
15:01And you know what?
15:01I stand by that decision.
15:03You lied to my faith.
15:07You pretended you didn't know Liam was leaving.
15:10You offered me your faith, sympathy, and your bolillo bread.
15:14Only the best for us.
15:16Maya.
15:17Only the best for you.
15:19Lori, Lori, it's okay.
15:22Don't be mad at your mom.
15:26In a way she did me a favor.
15:30And honestly, she did the same for you.
15:44How is she?
15:45Um, better.
15:47Okay, can I go see her?
15:49Yes, but first I need to update you on her condition.
15:54She gave me permission to talk to both of you.
15:56Okay.
15:58Um, so, something came up in Holly's toxicology report.
16:05Something that she says she doesn't remember taking.
16:08So, Tate, I need you to think very hard.
16:12Is there any way Holly could have come into contact accidentally with a prescription narcotic?
16:20A narcotic.
16:25Of course, y'all.
16:30Guys, what is going on?
16:46So, I was thinking, if you still have access to DiMera records from two years ago and we're willing to
16:54share,
16:55that could really help you figure out what happened to that drug.
16:58Hmm, maybe.
17:02You want something in return?
17:07Maybe.
17:13I have to say, Liam, I'm surprised.
17:16If I did you such a big favor, then why'd you break our agreement?
17:19No, no, no, no, no.
17:20You're not going to attack Liam over breaking your agreement.
17:24He's here because he was worried about me.
17:27He thought I was in the hospital.
17:29What?
17:30Why would you think that?
17:31Holly got sick of the cabin.
17:33He was with Sarah when I called her.
17:36Oh, my God.
17:37Is she okay?
17:38I thought you texted your mom.
17:40No, she did not.
17:42They just think it's a stomach bug.
17:45Is it possible that you two caught him?
17:47Don't teach the subject, Mother.
17:50I don't care if you think you paid Liam up for the right reasons, and I don't care if he's
17:55happy about it.
17:58All right, what you did was wrong.
18:02Let's just go home, and we can talk about it, okay?
18:05You've got to be joking.
18:08I don't want to be under the same roof as you.
18:12I don't want to be anywhere near you.
18:26What are you talking about?
18:28What is coraceal?
18:30It's a narcotic, like I said.
18:35And?
18:39Guys, I see the way you two are looking at each other.
18:42Come on, there's obviously more to it.
18:44Please tell me.
18:49Sarah recently treated someone else, and they died after taking coraceal.
18:58And you think that's what Holly took?
19:02She says that she didn't, and that she has no idea how it ended up in her system.
19:06Wait, you said you had a patient that died?
19:10What, did they overdose, or what?
19:13No, um, not exactly.
19:16Um, we believe that my other patient may have taken some pills from a contaminated batch, but, you know, coraceal
19:26is a very common pain med.
19:27It is manufactured by a number of companies, so there's no reason to believe that Holly took tainted drugs.
19:35No, she didn't take any drugs at all.
19:39Son, you may not have seen her take them.
19:42Dad, there's no way she's using them.
19:44I know you want to believe that.
19:45We want to believe that.
19:47But Holly was able to hide it from you last time.
19:49She's just, she's been under so much stress.
19:51I mean, I know that Amy Toy has been hounding her.
19:54Okay, okay, yeah, fine, that's true, but unlike last time, Holly has been open to getting help.
19:59The other day when she went to see you, did she seem secretive at all to you?
20:03No, no, you're right, she was quite the opposite.
20:06Okay, exactly.
20:07She agreed to see Dr. Fuller.
20:09She agreed to take antidepressants.
20:12If, if, if Holly mixed her prescription medicine with coraceal, would that account for her symptoms?
20:21Maybe.
20:22What, but why would she do that?
20:25Honey, I don't think she did it on purpose.
20:27That's why I was asking, like, is there any way she could have accidentally...
20:31What, a cabin in the woods?
20:33What, what, did a, a drug-dealing bear sell it to her?
20:36Come on.
20:37Hey.
20:37No, I'm sorry, but after Holly almost died from taking laced drugs and then had Sophia poisoning her,
20:44do you, do you really think she would take the chance of combining pills?
20:49No, guys, all Holly has wanted for the last couple months is just to be in control of her mind
20:54and her body.
20:56Her taking that risk makes no sense.
21:00I know.
21:02Yeah, I am, um...
21:05I am, uh, mystified by it myself.
21:13Why would it have been a mistake to name Johnny CEO of DeMira?
21:18Don't tell me it's because of that stupid lawsuit, which was a setup.
21:21It was dropped, I know.
21:24And what's the problem?
21:26Johnny's proven himself to be more than competent.
21:28A little too competent.
21:31What?
21:32George O'Halloran called me earlier.
21:36The head of DeMira Farno.
21:44Apparently, Johnny's been snooping around the manufacturing arm,
21:50asking questions about a batch of chorus seal that was made two years ago.
21:57Oh, uh, uh, chorus seal.
22:01He's also asking why there are files missing.
22:09The batch we destroyed?
22:14Because it was contaminated with arsenic.
22:35Marty, just please be reasonable, okay?
22:38Oh, I am being very reasonable.
22:41And for reasons that should be abundantly clear,
22:45I need you to get out of my face.
22:50You too.
22:52Go.
22:55Arthur.
22:59Ari.
23:02Why don't we go?
23:18You ungrateful idiot!
23:24This is all your fault!
23:32So, do tell me, Kristen,
23:35what exactly do you want in exchange for this, uh, information?
23:41Hmm.
23:43As I'm sure you recall,
23:46I asked you to take care of E.J.
23:51You refused?
23:53To murder him, yeah, I recall that.
23:57But I'm sure you recall the reasons I gave you for my refusal.
24:00Look, I hate your brothers just as much as you do.
24:03But my sole purpose in...
24:04God's sakes, do not recite that list again.
24:08I'm gonna hurl myself out the window.
24:11But you want me to hurl E.J. out of a window,
24:13or put a bullet in the back of his head.
24:15Do you think that's a fair trade?
24:20I don't want you to kill him.
24:26Although, that would solve my problem.
24:29What problem is that?
24:33E.J. wants to get rid of me.
24:36As in?
24:39I wouldn't put it past him.
24:43I need to bring him down first.
24:46Get him before he gets me.
24:50If we work together, he'll be behind bars eventually.
24:53Eventually is not an option.
24:56No, he needs to be neutralized.
25:00Now.
25:02I can't afford to wait.
25:07You're really scared, aren't you?
25:12Yes, I am.
25:15Don't understand.
25:16Where is this coming from?
25:17Was there a leak within the company?
25:19Not that I'm aware of.
25:21I never heard any reports that the contaminated pills harmed anyone.
25:24There was no public outcry against our pharmaceutical division.
25:28There was no FDA warnings or investigations.
25:30As far as I know, there's been no mention of any of this.
25:33So why is Johnny asking questions about this now?
25:37Look, I know that you're both concerned about Holly, and I appreciate that.
25:41And especially because we can't figure out what's going on with her.
25:46We will get to the bottom of this.
25:48Okay?
25:49I promise you.
25:51Can I go see her?
25:53Yeah.
26:05I wish I understood what's happening.
26:08And I feel...
26:12I feel terrible that I don't have any...
26:15Don't, don't, don't do it.
26:16Don't, don't, please don't blame yourself.
26:18We were just talking about how none of this makes sense.
26:21Yeah, but it's my job to make it make sense.
26:25But I'm starting to question my ability to be able to even do it.
26:30Why would you do that?
26:34I let Destiny walk out of here, and an hour later she was dead.
26:39I can't figure out what's going on with my niece.
26:43It took me months to diagnose Marlena.
26:46Stop.
26:47You tested Marlena for Lyme disease.
26:50It came back negative.
26:52It was a false negative because of EJ's budget cuts in this hospital.
26:57Way too long.
26:58It's still, hey, it still wasn't on you, was it?
27:03Marlena made a full recovery.
27:05And it's because that you, you, came through for her.
27:11I gotta tell you, I'm really confident that you're gonna do the same thing, Marlena.
27:25Hi.
27:27You look much better.
27:29Yeah.
27:30I feel a little better.
27:32But my Aunt Sarah thinks I took some drug and I didn't.
27:35I know.
27:36Tate, this feels exactly like when Sophia switched my vitamins with her anti-psych meds.
27:40I get it.
27:41I'm so sorry.
27:42I can't imagine how frustrating this is for you.
27:44No, it's more than frustrating.
27:47It's terrifying.
27:48And I don't understand why this is happening.
27:53Hey, at least the good news is we know for sure history isn't repeating itself.
27:58I mean, it can't.
28:00Sophia's dead.
28:06But what if she's not?
28:18I cannot believe my mother.
28:21All right.
28:22Here.
28:23Something that always helps me when I'm upset is caffeine.
28:27It's cold caffeine.
28:28It's even better.
28:29Thanks.
28:30Yeah.
28:34So I'm not entirely sure what I just walked in on, apart from you kissing, fella.
28:42Liam.
28:44Liam.
28:44His name is Liam.
28:45And what you walked into was me finding out my mom paid Liam off to leave Salem because
28:53she can't stand the idea of me being happy.
28:58All right.
28:59Do you really think that's why she did it?
29:03Might have just been an added bonus.
29:08She's definitely trying to control my life, and it just pisses me off.
29:12Yeah.
29:13Yeah, I get it.
29:16Hey.
29:18At least you know that she cares about you, though, huh?
29:21And you know she loves you.
29:28What did DJ say to you?
29:30Did he make a serious threat?
29:32Serious enough.
29:33He wants to be so sick.
29:38Phillip, this isn't a great time, actually.
29:41No, I hadn't heard that.
29:42What's wrong?
29:46Thanks for letting me know.
29:48I'm sorry, I thought of you.
29:49Now?
29:50Yes, now.
29:51I'll, uh, I'll be in touch.
30:00You don't think Sophia's dead?
30:04I mean, they never found her body.
30:08Yeah, but they know she jumped into the Salem River.
30:12Okay, yeah, but what if she, like, like she floated downstream and she climbed out the water and decided to
30:19camp out on Smith Island?
30:21I mean, she's evil, Tate, and smart.
30:23She could have had this whole plan to come after me.
30:25She did before.
30:25Holly, I don't...
30:27Hey, do you remember that story Erin told us about the woman who got thrown overboard and she comes out
30:32of the water every year to get revenge on the kids who let her die?
30:35It could be the same thing.
30:36Holly, that was a ghost story.
30:39Tate, it's Sophia.
30:41I know it is.
30:42I can't believe this is happening again.
30:47Thank you for the pep talk.
30:51I'm going to go check in with Holly's attending, so I will be back.
31:06Steve, hey.
31:09Did the ISA have any luck tracking down the source of Liam's windfall?
31:15Cashier check.
31:19Gabby Hernandez.
31:23So this had nothing to do with the death of destiny.
31:28Well, yeah, you said that your money was on, the connection being with DeMera Pharmaceuticals, and it sounds like you
31:33might be right.
31:36Well, one thing's for sure, and the one guy we need answers from now is EJ.
31:43Do you have any idea what this is about, why Johnny would suddenly be interested in chlorophyll?
31:50I don't.
31:51George tried to find out, but Johnny wouldn't say.
31:54But we don't have anything to worry about, right?
31:57O'Halloran assured me that he would get rid of the entire contaminated batch and there would be no blowback.
32:03There hasn't been.
32:05But as I told the bartender who made my last dirty martini at 12.01 p.m., I don't like
32:13this being stirred up again.
32:15Neither do I.
32:18But I intend to put a stunt on you.
32:40What are you still doing here?
32:41Just stop by Book Club to say hi to Julie and grab a few books for my son.
32:45Don't worry, I'm going.
32:46No, well, I hope your little visit was worth it.
32:48You know, I should take those damn books as restitution, since you completely blew our deal.
32:53I didn't say I'd never come back to Salem.
32:55Yeah, you did.
32:57In exchange for that check with all those zeros, I told you to leave town immediately, for good.
33:03Do you know what for good means, Liam?
33:05It doesn't mean temporarily, or for a few weeks, or because you overheard a damn phone call.
33:12It means forever.
33:13If you said that, I'm sorry, but it doesn't...
33:15I did say that.
33:17I also said that you were not to speak to or make contact with my daughter ever again.
33:22I didn't say anything to Ari.
33:24If you just kept your mouth shut, none of this would have happened.
33:31At least you're not going to have to suffer the consequences.
33:34My daughter would probably never speak to me again.
33:37Not my problem.
33:40You said that all the way for my daughter!
33:49You said that all the way for my daughter!
33:53You look so nigh, I am.
33:57Aaron, I know you're trying to help, but please do not defend my mother.
34:02Yeah.
34:02I'm sorry.
34:07It's just that...
34:10I would give anything to have my mother overstep her boundaries and annoy the hell out of me.
34:19Right now.
34:21Anything.
34:22Just have her back.
34:27I didn't mean to be insensitive.
34:30I know your mom being sick has been really hard.
34:35But it doesn't make me any less mad at my mom.
34:42Understood.
34:47Let's go check on Colleen.
35:04Hey, who was that?
35:06He looks familiar.
35:11He helped arrange for you to spend your holiday season in your family's crypt.
35:18He did Peter's dirty work.
35:20Stocked the crypt for your extended stay.
35:23I saw his picture in the paper.
35:27Damn.
35:31Maybe I'll take a crack at him.
35:34Don't worry.
35:35I already took a couple for you.
35:38If he is hanging around Ari, I don't blame you.
35:42I mean, she must be glad that...
35:46Her mother is so protective.
35:47I mean, keeping away the bad guys.
35:49Yeah?
35:51I wish.
35:54If only I could make her understand that what I do, I do for her.
36:00I know exactly how you feel.
36:09Um...
36:10Tate is still in with Holly.
36:13Um, we could grab coffee while we wait.
36:17I would love to.
36:19I, um...
36:20I can't.
36:21I gotta go.
36:22Rachel's doctors think that she's ready to...
36:24hear the news about Sophia.
36:27Somewhere to meet Kristen at Bayview and...
36:31somehow break it to her.
36:33Wow.
36:34Okay.
36:35Yeah.
36:35Yeah.
36:37Um, well, good luck with that.
36:39I hope it...
36:40I hope it goes well.
36:42Okay.
36:56Sarah.
36:59Dander, what are you doing here?
37:01Uh, it's about Holly.
37:02Is she okay?
37:06Yeah, she's stable.
37:09For now.
37:12Well, if she's taken care of her, then...
37:14Look, I'm sure she's gonna be all right.
37:17You all right?
37:38You're right.
37:40Sophia's body was never found.
37:42But the police dragged the river, and there was no sign that she was still alive.
37:48If there was any chance, any hope at all whatsoever, they would never have called off the search.
37:58I promise you there's no way Sophia could have done this.
38:03And I need you to get some rest, okay?
38:07I'm not crazy.
38:08Hey, I didn't say that you were crazy.
38:11But you are in recovery.
38:14Okay?
38:16So go rest up.
38:19Get better.
38:20You let us worry about the rest.
38:23Sound good?
38:40When you OD'd, and I almost lost you, I thought that was as scared as I'd ever been.
38:57I can't let that happen again.
39:01Not ever.
39:08What can I do to help?
39:11I need time to formulate a plan.
39:14It's just...
39:14This is the worst possible time.
39:18Perhaps I shouldn't have brought it to your attention just yet.
39:23I'm glad you did.
39:25It's just with our other activities, Lexi and Chris.
39:31You already have a full plate.
39:35It's been a couple of years since I've thought about that contaminated batch of pills.
39:41I thought the problem was buried forever.
39:44Literally.
39:47Is that what George did with the drugs?
39:49He buried them?
39:50Yes.
39:51On Smith Island, to be precise.
39:54Oh!
