00:04No, Rita, I've not spoken with Johnny yet, but he cannot be digging into this Coraceal situation.
00:10What was buried on Smith Island needs to stay buried. I'll have to go.
00:17Chad, what brings you by?
00:19Look, I'm just here to get one of Dad's books, same as yesterday.
00:23I don't want to get in the middle of whatever's going on with you and Kristen, okay?
00:28Is everything okay with you two?
00:33Either that deranged teenage girl had underworld ties beyond even my knowledge, which makes no sense.
00:45Or she got it from you.
00:48Which makes no sense either.
00:52You were maternal at first, right?
00:58Comforting, poor, lost girl.
01:04So completely unable to make mature decisions for herself, and you gave her guidance.
01:12The guidance of the Devil Inconnit.
01:17I did nothing of the sort, E.J.
01:21You drove her to try and kill my son.
01:30Everything is far from her cane.
01:38Hey, Brady.
01:41Where's Rachel?
01:42She's not back from snack yet.
01:45Oh, okay, good.
01:47I always thought you guys were going to start without me.
01:52Did you check in with Dr. Gregory?
01:54Yeah, she gave the staff a do-not-disturb order during our visit, so we should have plenty of time
02:00to tell her about Sophia.
02:04Right.
02:06I was going to bring her this cute little stuffed narwhal that Lonnie got at the aquarium the other day.
02:11I thought it would comfort her.
02:14But, um, I couldn't find it.
02:19Um, that's why I was late.
02:21The staff and I, we tore the place apart, but it just, I don't know, it just disappeared.
02:38The staff and I, we tore the place apart, but it just disappeared.
02:58For now.
03:00Well, if you're taking care of her, I'm sure she's going to be all right, but are you all right?
03:19Um, thank you for coming.
03:23Of course.
03:26She's my niece.
03:27She always will be.
03:30She's going to make a full recovery, right?
03:35I don't know.
03:38And I just keep thinking about what happened with Destiny.
03:45I'm glad I was there with you when she died.
03:50Me too.
03:53You're a comfort to me.
03:58Well, that was a terrible tragedy.
04:02I saw how much it upset you, but Sarah, the situation with Holly is completely different.
04:07I mean, she's being cared for by the most dedicated doctor and aunt that anyone could ask for.
04:14You've got this, Sarah.
04:16I have faith in you.
04:18I have faith in you.
04:29Hey, you got a minute?
04:32Sure.
04:34How's Stephanie doing?
04:38Honestly, not great.
04:42Still in deep with the PTSD from the kidnapping.
04:45And now I'll throw in my surprise daughter.
04:50I'm sure that complicates things.
04:55Anything I can do to help?
04:57I wish there was, cousin.
04:59This is just a rough patch that Stephanie and I need to get through.
05:05Hopefully together.
05:15Who is it?
05:17It's Bill.
05:25Hi, sir.
05:26Sarah, is this a bad time?
05:28No, it's fine.
05:29Come in.
05:32So, um, what brings you by?
05:37Well, I have something I wanted to talk to you about, and I thought it would be better to do
05:42it in person.
05:45You are going to charge me for shooting Joy, aren't you?
05:57Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.
06:15What, Steph?
06:16No.
06:17No, I haven't changed my mind.
06:19There are no charges that are going to be filed for the discharge of your gun.
06:25Which, I hope, softens the blow for what I have to say next.
06:31Go on.
06:33Listen, I just, I thought you should know that after thorough exams by several court-ordered psychiatrists, the judge has
06:40determined that Owen Kent is not fit to stand trial.
06:44Which means, which means that I won't get to testify against him, and that he'll be out of Bayview in
06:50no time.
06:51Well, no, he's not going to Bayview.
06:54He's going to Lewenthal Forendic Hospital, which is a very high-security facility that houses dangerous criminals.
07:02They know how to handle offenders who are a threat to the public.
07:06Listen, he is going away for a very long time.
07:14You guys will get through this.
07:18I know you love each other.
07:22And, I mean, it's not like there was any betrayal, deception, treachery.
07:32True.
07:34Speaking of, I'm sorry about what happened with you and Gabby.
07:37But is there any way of making that work?
07:40I won't ever get past what she did to our family.
07:44We could still lose everything, I know.
07:47But it sounds like she's trying to make amends.
07:50Vander told me that she offered up a chunk of Stefan's DiMera inheritance as like a penance for double-crossing
07:56Titan.
07:57That could help Titan in a very big way.
07:58Yeah, well, I'm not wild about taking anything from her.
08:03But Xander convinced me not to let my pride get in the way of saving the company.
08:10So I'm going along with it.
08:12Well, he told me that, too.
08:15But, man, do you know what will hit the fan big time if E.J. finds out that a daddy's
08:20money is going to prop up his chief rival?
08:23Well, that's why we have to make sure that E.J. never finds out.
08:35Just like a new thing with Kristen, or...?
08:39Eh, same old, same old.
08:42My sister is blaming me for Rachel's emotional struggles.
08:46Which is quite absurd, considering I was one who was shot by her demon seed.
08:53Demon seed?
08:54Well, a little harsh, don't you think?
08:59Yeah, I suppose.
09:02I mean, Kristen didn't actually raise the poor girl.
09:07She groomed an accomplice.
09:08Though it's hardly surprising that Rachel is...
09:13Unstable, to put it mildly.
09:16If Kristen wants to know why her daughter is in Bayview, she should look in the mirror.
09:21Yeah, well, taking responsibility has never really been Kristen's thing, right?
09:27But you know what?
09:27I do think she at least tries to be a good mother to Rachel.
09:33It's obviously your prerogative, Chad, to persuade yourself that our sister isn't morally bankrupt or a manipulative bitch.
09:44I am, however, dealing with quite a few other stressors, so I haven't exactly got the bandwidth for forgiveness right
09:53now.
09:56What are you talking about? What other stressors?
09:59Eh, not worth discussing.
10:01Just to say that a few of them will no longer be on my radar very soon.
10:11Mommy, Daddy, I didn't know you guys were coming.
10:13Well, surprise, kiddo.
10:15Come here. Come here. Hi, baby. How you doing?
10:18Hi, sweetie.
10:20So, um, what do you got there?
10:23It's an eye wall.
10:25And, um, where'd you get it?
10:28Uncle E.J. gave it to me.
10:30Oh, Uncle E.J.
10:34He brought that to you.
10:38When?
10:39Last night.
10:41He's so cute, isn't he?
10:48I, um, I appreciate your faith in me.
10:53And I will try to think positive about Holly's condition because you were right.
10:59She's getting the best possible care here.
11:01Who she is?
11:05Um, so have you made any headway with the investigation into Demira and Corseal?
11:10No, unfortunately, which I think makes me more suspicious.
11:15What do you mean?
11:17Well, it turns out the records from that time period, they're missing.
11:22Do you think it's a cover-up?
11:24There's no way it's a coincidence.
11:26But I'm working on finding a way to recover them.
11:32Do I want to know?
11:34Let's just have someone on the inside.
11:38Like Sarah.
11:39I know this is important to you, but I need you to lay low.
11:42You do not want to be in E.J.'s crosshairs.
11:45But you're putting yourself out there.
11:47I can handle E.J.
11:49And if he's responsible for people dying, then we will stop him.
11:55I just hope that we stop him in time.
12:10I can see you're still worried.
12:13Well, how can I not be, Belle?
12:16What if Owen finds a way to escape?
12:18Or to be released?
12:20Stephanie, the DA's office is going to be keeping close tabs on him.
12:24And I've already filed a permanent restraining order on your behalf.
12:27Listen, locked up or not, if Owen can't contact you again, there will be legal repercussions.
12:39Well, thank you, Belle, for coming by and telling me all of this and for everything that you've done.
12:46Yeah.
12:48Stephanie, can I be blunt with you?
12:50Yeah, of course.
12:53Listen, you have gone through a horrible ordeal.
12:58But you're a survivor.
13:00You are a fighter.
13:02You survived Owen Kent not once, but twice.
13:06And by the sheer force of your own strength, your own will, you need to remember that.
13:13Okay?
13:13You need to get your power back.
13:15Stop letting Owen Kent control your life.
13:22I'm all in, Sarah.
13:24Whatever you need.
13:26I appreciate that.
13:28It's just, you know, with Destiny and this other patient that was affected by the drug,
13:35I just, I want to prevent a possible resurgence.
13:40I understand.
13:41And I'm very eager to take down EJ by any means necessary.
13:45Xander, I didn't get you involved with this so that you could settle the score with EJ.
13:48This is about protecting people.
13:50I know.
13:51I understand.
13:53I hope so.
13:57Just...
13:58Be careful.
14:01There's a thought of anything happening to you.
14:08Victoria needs you.
14:11Of course.
14:14Victoria.
14:19Rachel, has your Uncle EJ ever come to visit you before?
14:23No.
14:24Last night was the first time.
14:27Did he say why he was here?
14:32Yeah.
14:33He wanted to tell me that he forgives me for shooting him.
14:41And, um, he brought you a narwhal.
14:46As a present.
14:47I named him Chiro, you know, because this one looks like one.
14:51That's very, very sweet, hon.
14:53Um, did your Uncle EJ say anything else?
14:59Yeah.
15:00You told me about Johnny.
15:10I agree.
15:13Assuming EJ doesn't already know, it behooves us to keep him from finding out that part of his daddy's fortune
15:19is coming our way.
15:20Oh, yeah.
15:20Obviously.
15:22But is Gabby on board with that?
15:26I'll have someone talk to her.
15:28Please do, Philip.
15:29Because that money can help us a lot.
15:33Damn right.
15:34Especially since the plagiarism lawsuit imploded.
15:40Philip, you didn't know anything about that, did you?
15:44Xander and your mom setting Johnny up?
15:47No.
15:48Although I can't say it shocked me.
15:50Not something I put past my mother.
15:56I'm glad Xander decided to drop it.
15:59And Johnny's seemingly letting it go.
16:03Yeah, well, I'm sure he's not looking to broadcast the fact that he was duped.
16:07Plus, he doesn't strike me as the vindictive type.
16:13Now, his father, on the other hand.
16:17Chad, what is this book you came here looking for?
16:20I'm looking for Dad's old chess book.
16:24The one he used to put notes in?
16:25That's the one.
16:27Yeah, I'm helping Belle solve a mystery.
16:30Oh, I see.
16:32Is this the chess set that Father left for Marlena?
16:36Good guess, brother.
16:41I was under the impression that she wanted to be a part of it.
16:44That's still true.
16:45Belle thinks there's more to it.
16:48Like what?
16:50Well, it's none of your business, actually.
16:55It was a bequest from our father.
16:58Yeah, but it wasn't to you, AJ.
17:05Well, to you, brother.
17:17Sweetie, what did Uncle EJ tell you about Johnny?
17:22Well, that he says hi and he's sorry he hasn't visited because there was a fire in his apartment.
17:28EJ told you about the fire?
17:31But he said everyone's okay.
17:34No one got hurt, right?
17:35No, nobody got hurt.
17:39Johnny, Chanel, and baby Trey, they are all fine.
17:42Then why do you both look like something bad happened?
17:49Sweetie, that...
17:52Not everyone is okay.
17:56That is why we're here.
18:02Why don't we sit?
18:05Go ahead, come and sit on bed.
18:13Okay, so...
18:14Baby, we got some sad news.
18:18And we were waiting for the right time to tell you.
18:22And Dr. Gregory says that...
18:25You're ready to hear it.
18:38Hey, it's waiting for the hold-up.
18:40So, what did you and Paul find out?
18:42Any headway on the Italian lira?
18:44Well, as far as we can tell, there is absolutely nothing special about it.
18:49Paul ran the serial number and, you know, it wasn't like part of any big bank heist or anything.
18:55Huh.
18:56All right, well, I guess that's good news.
18:59But, uh, I was kind of hoping it would be something fun and exciting.
19:02Yeah, me too.
19:03But apparently it was just in general circulation.
19:07Huh.
19:09So you got La Scala Opera House on one side and Verde on the other.
19:15Mm-hmm.
19:16Opera on currency.
19:17It's very Italian.
19:19Yeah, very Stefano de Mera.
19:20Uh, what does it mean?
19:26EJ's getting it from all sides right now.
19:28He's under immense scrutiny from the authorities over this whole Lexi situation,
19:32so hopefully it keeps him from going on the offensive.
19:36Might be a good idea to put Stephanie back on the payroll.
19:40So we're prepared for damage control in case EJ does take a shot at Titan.
19:45Assuming she's up for it right now.
19:46I will mention it to her.
19:48Who knows, she might like something else to focus on besides Joy and Owen Kent.
19:56I'll try.
19:59Jeremy Horton, who was held captive by Kent along with Stephanie Johnson, had this to say of her.
20:07Stephanie is the reason I'm alive today.
20:09Her bravery is what inspired me to keep fighting.
20:13To survive.
20:15The Owen Kents of the world don't stand a chance against women like her.
20:28You are a monster.
20:32And I am done being your victim.
20:37So, into the trash you go.
20:44Out of my head.
20:47Out of my life.
21:00Fraternizing on the job, I see.
21:03Speak of the devil.
21:05Or at least one of his top deputies.
21:07Oh.
21:08What are you talking about?
21:09I wonder why.
21:11Can we just do this another time, EJ, please?
21:14Let me guess what you were discussing.
21:18Am I a disciple of the devil because I told Gwen about your sordid little affair with Kristen?
21:26Oh.
21:27Oh, sorry.
21:29I'll bet you didn't want Sarah to find out about that.
21:32I'm so sorry.
21:34My mistake.
21:36My mistake.
21:45Sarah, I should go.
21:47I have a patient to see.
21:51What the hell is wrong with you?
21:53What?
21:54You and Sarah aren't together.
21:57Why should she care if you're sleeping with two other women?
22:00But it isn't more than two, is it?
22:03I told you to stay the hell out of my life.
22:06If you ask me, I did you a favor.
22:10Sarah's already moved on with Brady and yet here you are, pining like a starry-eyed teenager.
22:18You will regret this.
22:22Yeah, you already said that.
22:31All right, La Scala, Verde, a thousand lira, and the head of Medusa.
22:37Am I missing anything?
22:39It was in circulation from 1807 to 2002.
22:43Maybe the dates mean something important.
22:44Yeah, I mean, with all the numbers and imagery, it really, I mean, it could mean everything.
22:49It could mean absolutely nothing.
22:52You know what?
22:54I bet my father wanted your parents to spend that somewhere very special, right?
22:59So maybe you and I fly to Rome and we find a little cafe.
23:03I don't know.
23:04Yeah, fly to Rome in a time machine since they haven't taken the lira in like 25 years.
23:09However, I did do some research on this bad boy is worth about five bucks on eBay.
23:15Five bucks, huh?
23:17Okay, well then maybe a slice of pizza from Betty's on the corner?
23:20How about that?
23:25I know I should feel some relief that Gabby's money is coming in.
23:29But I won't relax until it's actually in the account.
23:33Especially since we could lose everything if we miss this loan payment.
23:37Hmm.
23:39What about that?
23:42What if we just sell it?
23:49Sell the Kiriakos estate.
23:53That mansion meant everything to my father.
23:55More than Titan?
23:58If it was up to Victor and he had to choose to pick one to save, what would it be?
24:11Let's hope we never have to answer that question.
24:17Well, what's the sad news?
24:25Sweetheart, what exactly did Uncle EJ tell you about the fire in Johnny's apartment?
24:32That it was an accident.
24:36Sweetie, that wasn't exactly true.
24:42The fire was set by Sophia.
24:46Sophia.
24:48She wanted to hurt Johnny.
24:51Sophia set the fire?
24:54Oh my God, is she in jail?
24:56Is she coming back here?
24:58Maybe she's not coming back here.
25:03When she tried to hurt Johnny, she...
25:10What?
25:11What did she do?
25:12Just say it.
25:13Maybe.
25:16You know that Sophia had mental health problems, right?
25:21You knew that?
25:24Well, the doctors were not able to heal her.
25:29Because what she had going on in her mind...
25:33Nobody could see.
25:36And I think she had just so much pain...
25:40That she just wanted to end the pain.
25:45What are you saying?
25:49How did she end it?
25:52Maybe she jumped off a bridge.
25:55Into the Salem River.
25:57No, is she alright?
26:04No, sweetheart.
26:07She's not.
26:08She's not okay.
26:09I know that you and Sophia were friends.
26:19But, uh...
26:22She didn't make it out of the river.
26:28She died.
26:45I need to talk to you.
26:46Hang on!
26:48I'm trying to figure something out about our next loan payment.
26:51Wouldn't we have Gabby's money by then?
26:56Oh, my God.
26:59What is it?
27:05Sophia's dead.
27:08Yeah.
27:10Yes, she is.
27:13But, sweetheart...
27:14I know that, uh...
27:16I know you were friends with her.
27:19And that this is very painful for you to hear.
27:22But what if the doctors here can't heal me like they couldn't heal Sophia?
27:26No, no, no.
27:27Don't you worry about that.
27:30Doctors are helping you every day.
27:33And your problems are not like Sophia's.
27:39You, you, my love, are going to be just fine.
27:41But Sophia can never be fine.
27:44Daddy, why?
27:45Why would she just off the bridge?
27:49No, no.
27:51I think, like I said, she was just in so much pain, Rach, that she just...
27:56She just kind of lost hope.
27:59Yeah, but you know what?
28:01Hey, hey, hon, Rachel, listen to me.
28:07Okay, you know what?
28:08There's always hope.
28:10Always.
28:10You know that, right?
28:15That's why you're here in Bayview, honey.
28:17So you can learn to deal with the things that upset you.
28:23And, uh...
28:24Doctors say that you're making great progress.
28:27And, hey, you know what?
28:28You are doing so much better.
28:32And, um, hopefully...
28:36Hopefully, you'll be coming home very soon.
28:40Sophia can never go home.
28:44Oh, she can.
28:53I want you to know, no matter what, your father and I...
29:00We are always here for you.
29:03And that there is no problem too big to fix.
29:11We both love you.
29:13You know that.
29:15I know.
29:18We love you too.
29:34Oh, hang on a sec.
29:37What are you doing?
29:39You taking the deadbolts off the door?
29:40I'm, uh, I'm taking the extra deadbolts off the door.
29:45I thought they made you feel safe.
29:48I thought having a gun would make me feel safe, too.
29:51But it didn't.
29:53Feeling safe doesn't come from more locks on the door or bullets in a gun.
29:58It doesn't come from people you love who promise to protect you.
30:02You and my parents, you have done everything you possibly could to stop me from being scared.
30:08And after what Belle told me, I know that the only way for me to feel secure and safe is
30:15if it comes from within.
30:17If it comes from me.
30:21I'm sorry for dragging you down this rabbit hole.
30:24I'm sure you'd much rather be spending time with Charlotte and Thomas before they head off to Boston.
30:29We got big plans for that last night.
30:31Plus, they're hanging out with their friends.
30:33And they're very fine with me not hovering, you know.
30:36I bet you're going to miss them a lot, though, right?
30:39Yeah.
30:40They're going to have a great summer with their grandparents, though.
30:43Oh, yeah, definitely.
30:45Plus, I'll have a lot more free time on my hands over the next month or so.
30:50Very happy to spend that with you.
30:53Solving this mystery, I mean.
30:56Well, I hope that's not all you mean.
31:10Did you get off on that?
31:12Did that make you feel good?
31:14Sorry?
31:15Gossiping like a high school mean girl about Xander's love life.
31:19Who are you trying to hurt, him or me?
31:21Who says I wanted to hurt him?
31:23Come on, EJ.
31:24You get off on hurting people, which makes you owning a hospital even more disgusting.
31:29Watch yourself, Dr. Horton.
31:31Why the hell should I?
31:34I'm not afraid of you.
31:37You might want to rethink that.
31:39It's far from giving that I'm going anywhere, which means I'm still your boss, and you do not want to
31:46make an enemy of me.
31:49I'm still your boss.
31:49I could say the same thing.
32:02I could say the same thing.
32:03Now, this belonged to my father.
32:06He made all kinds of notes in it.
32:08Strategies, results, conversations, anything that came to him while he was playing.
32:42Okay.
32:43And I told her what we were up to.
32:45Is she upset?
32:47I just think she's worried.
32:49You know, I think it makes her feel better that Paul's a trained agent.
32:52And, you know, if things get sticky, my brother and all of my dad's old friends at the ISA are
32:57just a phone call away.
33:05I can't believe it.
33:07What is it?
33:09The loan shows a zero balance.
33:14It must be paid off.
33:19How is that even possible?
33:23So, Owen isn't going to prison?
33:27He's not even going to stand trial.
33:32Well, I mean, from what you said before, it seems like you had some kind of breakthrough.
33:38Yeah, I have.
33:40As soon as Bell left, I read this article about the kidnapping.
33:44And in the article, there was this quote from Jeremy.
33:48He said that he wouldn't have survived without me.
33:53That my bravery was an inspiration.
33:56And Bell said that I'm not just a victim, that I'm...
33:59I'm a survivor.
34:02A fighter.
34:04I've always known that.
34:05But I haven't felt that in a long time.
34:10But I want to.
34:13I want that for you, too.
34:15But I know the only way for me to do that, for me to stop feeling like a victim,
34:21is to...
34:22is to choose to stop feeling this way.
34:31You have no idea how proud I am of you.
34:50Where were you, Dr. Gregory?
34:53I tried to find you before I left Bayview.
34:58Yeah, well, you know what?
34:59Your patients, your other patients, they're not my concern.
35:01My concern is for my daughter,
35:03who just found out a friend who happened to be under your care took her own life.
35:10Yeah, well, you know what?
35:12Go ahead.
35:13Call Brady if you need.
35:15I assure you, he and I are in agreement on this.
35:27The clock is winding down, Kristen.
35:33And you won't see it coming.
35:35We'll know the day or the hour that you will pay for what you've done.
35:44E.J. DiMera.
35:45E.J. DiMera must be added to the band visitors list.
35:50My brother is a very dangerous man.
35:53Do you hear me?
35:55I don't want him going anywhere near my daughter.
36:01Hey, you.
36:02Hey.
36:05How you doing?
36:07How did it go with Rachel?
36:10Did you tell her about Sophia?
36:11Yeah, we did.
36:13What we did, she was upset, as you can imagine.
36:16Yeah.
36:17Well, we tried to comfort her the best we could,
36:19and she went right to a therapy appointment after that.
36:22Well, that's good.
36:23Hopefully, that can help her process everything.
36:27She's just been through a lot, you know?
36:30Yeah.
36:31How's Holly?
36:34The same.
36:35Yeah.
36:36Yeah, it's been a day, for sure.
36:40Is everything okay?
36:43Just had a run-in with E.J.
36:46E.J.?
36:47What happened?
36:48Nothing.
36:49He just was trying to push my button, so there's nothing new there.
36:52You have no idea how bad I wanted to ask him about Coraceal and a possible contamination.
36:59Not bad, but it's best not to tip him off.
37:02Yeah, I know.
37:04It's probably unlikely that whatever was going on with Demir Pharma two years ago
37:09is what's causing Holly's symptoms, right?
37:13You tell me.
37:14I don't know.
37:15I just want answers.
37:17You know, like, how did Coraceal get into her system if she didn't take it willingly?
37:22And if it was something that she was exposed to on Smith Island that is causing her to be sick,
37:28then what is it?
37:30I don't know.
37:34What happened there?
37:49I don't know.
37:51Look at her.
37:51I've been thinking about her.
37:51Can you?
37:52Everything in this world.
37:53I don't know.
37:53Those include her moms.
37:54I don't know.
37:54I don't know.
37:54I don't know.
37:58What have you seen I've been seeing on Smith Island da very late?
