06:35have you talked to your brother recently Roman why I saw him earlier with Marlena Kate didn't seem to
06:45be around I think that Kate and Roman are kind of going through a little rough patch really what's going
06:54on well I think that Kate was a little less than forthcoming about the circumstances surrounding the
07:01Titan plagiarism lawsuit against Tamara well I know there were suspicions that Johnny was set up yeah
07:11well they've been confirmed so she moved out to the Kiriakis house to give them space and time to try
07:20to
07:21figure things out oh man I hope they can make it work yeah well like Kate did to Roman's grandson
07:31was
07:31pretty awful but it's too bad really you know because I think she really made him happy these last few
07:37years what I mean just a few months ago Kate and Roman were really happy and and
07:50Abe and Paulina were going strong so much has changed I don't know maybe a Mercury's in retro
08:01whatever since when did you believe anything like that I don't I just something people say when the
08:10world's going haywire you know what I always say no what do you say I am so grateful

08:37new former BFF
08:38Kristen I do not blame Xander well it certainly isn't my fault
08:49no you're right it's not it's my fault for being such a bloody idiot god Xander made it so clear
08:58what I
08:58should expect from him which was very little yeah and I thought that that would be enough I thought
09:06that we could just have this amazing mind-blowing sex with no feelings involved but I just made a
09:14bloody fool of myself I could have told you I did tell you repeatedly
09:23why did you have to just open your big gossipy mouth and ruin everything what are you saying do you

09:51July
09:52well I don't have a choice we are chronically understaffed at the hospital thank you EJ DiMera
09:58you know what I say hmm he should be emptying bedpans there right now I am hoping beyond hope that
10:06we get rid of him it is going to happen right well as long as the board does the right
10:12thing and
10:13Gwen follows through with her offer to buy the hospital we can finally get rid of that son of a
10:19bitch okay did I consider not telling you about Xander and Kristen yes did I think it would hurt and
10:30hurt bad yes did I think I was violating some sort of bro code by outing him yes are you
10:36really starting
10:36to annoy me right now yes I'm sorry but look as your long-term sometime friend and and fellow loser

10:50it
10:52no I was going to say to be honest with you
10:57look I'm sorry okay not just for being the bearer of bad news but for being the cause of it
11:03in the past
11:09you're right
11:11I'm sorry I shouldn't blame the messenger thank you
11:22so
11:26what happens now between you and Xander
11:31there is no more me and Xander
11:36well that's probably for the best and your old pal Kristen are you gonna forgive her forgive her
11:46no no
11:49at least Xander didn't pretend to be something that he's not but Kristen she she went behind my back she
11:57lied to my face
12:00you're gonna give her a piece of your mind aren't you
12:07I'm going to kill her
12:12oh
12:23Kristen what does EJ have to do with our daughter being released from Bayview
12:27I only showed up at Bayview he brought that
12:31stuffed narwhal and he wanted me to know he was sending a message he wanted me to know that he
12:37was there
12:38for what reason
12:40isn't it obvious
12:43he knows the best way to get to me is through my daughter
12:48he is on the list of banned visitors at Bayview and if she gets released now
12:54Are you telling me that E.J. could hurt our daughter?
13:00Do I have to worry about her?
13:01Am I supposed to worry about you?
13:06Kristen?
13:08You know what?
13:11I can handle this.
13:15Yeah, I don't believe you.
13:18Listen, I'm sorry, Brady.
13:20You know what?
13:20I was just getting really dramatic, that's all.
13:22I mean, E.J. and I, we will work this out.
13:28You know what?
13:30I'm sorry.
13:32I really gotta go.
13:43You're gonna use your new girlfriend as a mole?
13:45First of all, Kristen is not my girlfriend.
13:49Whatever.
13:49Whatever.
13:51Do you really think that you can trust her to sell out her family's company?
13:54Oh, she hates E.J.
13:56It's nice to see him burn just as much as we do.
13:58It's hard to believe.
14:00See, I know this is uncomfortable, but...
14:02The last thing I would ever want to do is hurt you.
14:04I hope you know that.
14:05No, it's fine.
14:06It's fine.
14:08It really is none of my business who you're sleeping with.
14:11We're not together anymore.
14:14I've moved on, and you're free to do the same.
14:22To be honest, I'll take help from anyone that gets me closer to figuring out what's going on with Holly.
14:30Wait, I thought this car seal business was about Destiny's death.
14:36It was.
14:37It...
14:38It is.
14:41You told me there was a second patient.
14:44I did.
14:45Are you saying that car seal is related to Holly's condition?
14:50Sarah, tell me the truth.
14:58I think it is possible that she took some of the contaminated pills.
15:07Julie, thank you for seeing me.
15:11Just try to keep it down, okay?
15:12I don't want you to wake up Trey or Chanel.
15:14Oh, of course.
15:16First of all, I'm very sorry for missing Trey's first birthday party.
15:20It's fine.
15:21What do you want?
15:25I need to know how things went at the hospital.
15:28Did you give Sarah a message?
15:31I can't believe this.
15:34I shouldn't have said anything.
15:35I really didn't mean to.
15:38But it's true.
15:39You think Holly's illness is connected to whatever happened to Destiny?
15:46It's...
15:47possible.
15:48and I'm...
15:51I'm terrified.
16:00Sarah?
16:01It's the...
16:03It's the results of Holly's latest tests.
16:07What do they say?
16:12Her liver and kidney functions are trending towards failure, which indicates some kind of poison that's shutting down her system.
16:24Well, now that you know that, you can treat it, yeah?
16:28No, not without knowing what kind of toxin it is.
16:31And we're still waiting on tests, including on the water from the well at the Horton cabin.
16:37Wait, wait, wait.
16:37You think...
16:38You think the well water was poisoned?
16:40I don't know.
16:43I don't.
16:44I just...
16:46I know that we're running out of time.
16:51I...
16:51I have to go.
17:02I took care of it.
17:06Look, I did what you asked.
17:07All right, I left the message for Sarah.
17:09All right, let's go.
17:39All right, let's go.
18:09All right, let's go.
18:43What's this?
18:53Oh, my God.
19:00That's it.
19:12Hey, buddy.
19:15Looks like we've both been abandoned on the 4th of July.
19:18Yeah.
19:19Flag cookie?
19:21No flag cookie for me.
19:23No, I'm good.
19:26No offense, but you don't look good.
19:30What's going on?
19:35Kristen informed me that E.J. may be a threat.
19:39To her and our little girl.
19:43Maybe she's just being paranoid.
19:45I mean, she's not exactly the poster girl for irrational thinking.
19:50That is true, but I'll tell you, ever since our little girl was admitted to Bayview, Kristen's been desperate to
19:55get her out.
19:58Wow.
19:59Now we get the news that she might be released, and now Kristen is panicked that she's coming home.
20:05Well, that is a strange pivot, even for her.
20:09That's why I don't think it's just the usual paranoia.
20:12You know, her thinking that everyone's out to get her.
20:17Because if there is a legitimate threat to my daughter, she better tell me about it.
20:24You entered and exited the hospital as I instructed to avoid the security cameras?
20:29Yes.
20:31And I put on gloves before I touched anything, so...
20:35Excellent.
20:36Then there's no way that book can be traced back to us.
20:40Really?
20:42Are you kidding me right now?
20:44That's what you're worried about?
20:46I mean, Holly could die because of the way DiMera disposed of those toxic pills.
20:54And I told you I never would have approved of them being buried on Smith Island.
20:58That was not my decision.
21:00But what's done is done.
21:02All we can do now is try and save Holly's life and move on.
21:07I guess, well, I don't understand why you couldn't have just placed the book.
21:12I mean, why did I have to lie to my family, leave my son's first birthday early,
21:17and sneak into some office?
21:19I mean, you're the owner of the hospital.
21:21I couldn't because I spent the evening on Smith Island making sure those pills were dug up
21:26to avoid discovery and further contamination.
21:34I just hope this is the end.
21:39Actually, son, there is one more thing I need from you.
21:50Hey, uh...
21:51Victoria wanted me to tell you that she misses you very much.
21:55I like to think I'm a decent substitute,
21:57but she's made it pretty clear
21:59that when it comes to playing princesses,
22:01I know Cousin Holly.
22:06So you need to keep working really hard to get better, yeah?
22:10So you can come home to her.
22:13To all of us.
22:17Ah! Oh, Xander.
22:20Kayla.
22:21I'm looking for Sarah.
22:22I wanted to go over Holly's latest test results.
22:27Yeah, she saw the results and stepped out for a break.
22:31Oh.
22:33I got it.
22:34I think I know what it is.
22:36What is it?
22:37Is it treatable?
22:38If it is what I think it is,
22:40then we can beat this.
22:50Oh, boy.
22:51Okay.
22:53Matt's going to have to do...
22:55Oh, whoa.
22:58Okay, Gwenny, you are one tough cookie,
23:02but you are no match for the Duchess of Diabolical.
23:05I've got to put a stop to this
23:07before you run face first into a buzzsaw.
23:09Ooh.
23:12Okay.
23:18Oh.
23:20Thank God it's you, Gwen.
23:23I mean, with everything going on with EJ,
23:26I just...
23:26It's so nice to see a friendly face.
23:29Does my face look friendly to you right now?
23:34No.
23:36Not really.
23:40What's going on?
23:43Let me put it this way.
23:46You've got a much bigger problem than EJ right now.
23:51Bitch.
24:02Okay, you know what?
24:04Am I missing something?
24:07You know...
24:09For once in his life,
24:11that hell-spawn brother of yours
24:13was actually telling the truth.
24:18When do you want to fill me in on...
24:22You and Xander.
24:24You're having an affair, aren't you?
24:26Okay, I would not call it an affair, per se.
24:29No, you wouldn't?
24:29Then what would you call it?
24:31Hot, meaningless sex.
24:34And I'm sure you wouldn't judge me for that.
24:37I mean, if I recall,
24:40that's exactly what you two were having as well.
24:44Meaningless sex.
24:46You were supposed to be my friend.
24:49You two-faced bloody cow.
24:53You knew...
24:54That my relationship meant more to me than that with Xander.
24:58Okay, you know what?
24:58I didn't know this meant so much to you.
25:01You didn't?
25:02No, I didn't.
25:02No?
25:03Really?
25:04Then why did you lie to my face
25:05when I caught you both at the Salem Inn more than once?
25:08All right, you know what?
25:09Let's just hash this over martinis one day,
25:12because right now I do not have the time for this.
25:15Oh, Willie, that's too bloody bad.
25:24Hey, uh...
25:25If you're looking for Sarah,
25:27she and Kayla are in with Holly right now.
25:31How's Holly doing?
25:32Not well.
25:34But it sounds like there's some hope.
25:37Sarah's pretty sure that she's figured out what's wrong with her.
25:41That's great.
25:42What is it?
25:43Arsenic poisoning.
25:46Arsenic?
25:47How'd she figure that out?
25:49Well, a medical book was left on her desk,
25:51opened on a page on the subject.
25:54Someone just left the book out for her to see?
25:57It seems that way.
25:58But now the question is,
26:01why would they want to remain anonymous?
26:06Maybe it's the person that's connected to why Holly is sick in the first place.
26:10Sarah believes that because of some tainted Coraceal.
26:14Coraceal, Coraceal.
26:17Coraceal's a drug that was in Damaris Pharmaceuticals Missing Files.
26:22Now it's the P.E.J., hey?
26:30You know, when I took this job, Chanel warned me that it was going to be a slippery slope.
26:37And I really tried, tried to do things the right way.
26:42Then I got set up with this lawsuit.
26:47And now, here I am, leaving my sick, pregnant wife.
26:54Sneaking around, making fake phone calls, breaking into an office.
26:58Look, I can't do this.
27:00I don't want to lie to Chanel anymore.
27:04I understand.
27:06But you'll do this for her.
27:10For your growing family.
27:12And she never wants to know.
27:22What more do you need from me?
27:25I need you to ensure that fear never finds out either.
27:34He's my co-CEO.
27:36And we're equal partners.
27:39But only you understand what needs to be done for the good of our family.
27:49Arsenic poisoning.
27:51Yeah.
27:52I mean, I can't believe I didn't even think to test for it.
27:55How could I not recognize the symptoms?
27:57Because they fit a lot of diagnosis.
27:59You know, Sarah, there's a reason that arsenic is not in a routine talk screen.
28:04It's because it's so uncommon.
28:06There may no longer even be a detectable amount in her bloodstream.
28:10But it's certainly still affecting her tissue and organs.
28:13We have to start treatment right away.
28:15Yeah, but we can't confirm the diagnosis until we do heavy metals blood analysis and a 24-hour urine analysis.
28:22She might not have that kind of time.
28:26Are you suggesting that we start chelation therapy without a definitive diagnosis?
28:31I know all the reasons not to, but honestly, I would rather deal with the side effects of the chelation.
28:38Because if we don't do something soon, then Holly is not going to make it.
28:44We're going to lose her.
28:55How could arsenic get in Holly's system anyway?
28:59I mean, she tested positive for Coraceal, same as Destiny.
29:05Do you think that arsenic poisoning killed Destiny too?
29:10It's awfully coincidental, don't you think?
29:13Maybe, maybe the pills were contaminated with it.
29:18Did Holly take the Coraceal willingly?
29:24I hope not.
29:26But given her history with drug use, I can't rule it out.
29:31And, you know, she was at the cabin with her friends.
29:35Dear God.
29:36So I'm working from two different theories here.
29:40Either Holly took contaminated pills, or the well water itself was contaminated.
29:48Well, I'm going to go notify the lab, and have them test the water samples for arsenic and Coraceal.
30:00We're going to figure this out, baby.
30:03And then we're going to get you feeling better.
30:08Johnny, there are parts of this job that you and I both know your cousin Theo was unequipped for.
30:21You mean because he's not okay with lying?
30:27Theo sees the world a certain way.
30:30And sometimes the lines are blurrier than that.
30:33Which is why I never wanted you to make him co-CEO.
30:38Theo and I both want to make a positive change.
30:44Run the company legitimately.
30:46Make DiMera a force for good in the world.
30:49Something that our kids can be proud of.
30:54And I commend your vision.
30:59But the company has a past that the CEO must reckon with, whether you like it or not.
31:06And if the truth about Coraceal gets out to anyone, including Theo,
31:12there won't be a company left to run.
31:21Okay, Dad, you need to go.
31:23All right, I'll talk to you tomorrow.
31:26Thank you, son.
31:27Please give my love to Trash now.
31:43E.J. knew about the arsenic contamination that I had to be in.
31:49No, I don't know why.
31:51Why would E.J. leave that book open for Sarah to see?
31:53He would never risk his neck for his ex-stepdaughter.
31:59Yeah, that's a valid point.
32:00I mean, there's someone from a family full of scorpions even capable of loyalty.
32:06Could be a whistleblower.
32:07Someone from DiMera Pharma who was afraid to come forward.
32:10Yeah, that's possible, but how would that person even know about Holly?
32:17True.
32:20There's got to be someone who's connected to DiMera as well as what's happening with Holly.
32:24Which brings us back to E.J.
32:29God, do you have any loyalty for anyone other than yourself?
32:35You do not want to do this, Gwen.
32:42I can't believe I apologized for accusing you of sleeping with Xander.
32:48I mean, I confided in you for being cheated on time and time again.
32:55You knew how much that affected me, and yet you still decided to find the one guy in Salem whom
33:02I...
33:03Oh, and I don't know what to say.
33:08I mean, I mean, I really didn't know it meant this much to you.
33:12Of course you did!
33:18That probably made it even hotter for you, though, didn't it?
33:24Wow.
33:26You know, all this time I thought Matty was the one disloyal friend that I had.
33:33But even he had the courtesy to feel some guilt for stabbing me in the back.
33:38Right, you know what?
33:39You're making way too much out of this.
33:42Our dalliance?
33:43I mean, that meant nothing to me, and I am sure it meant less to Xander.
33:50Is that supposed to make me feel better?
33:55All the betrayals.
33:58All the betrayals I've been through with my friends, with lovers, with business partners, with my father.
34:06These are people who are supposed to be on my side.
34:10And yet, time and time again, they're just all laughing behind my back.
34:15Oh, poor Gwen.
34:17Poor little clueless Gwen.
34:19She's such a fool.
34:19I am tired of it.
34:22I am done allowing people to just get off scot-free for all the bloody pain they've caused me.
34:31Are we done?
34:33Are we done having this pity party of yours?
34:36I mean, because if you really cared about Xander,
34:40maybe you would have worked harder to satisfy him.
34:56And be able to stop a second.
34:58I'm going to try to cast stone.
35:01Oh, yes.
35:02You want me to do it?
35:04No.
35:05Oh, God.
35:05Let me help.
35:07You are insane. You are insane. You know that?
35:12You are, you bitch.
35:13Oh, my God, don't you do that.
35:14Look at that bitch. Yes. Look at that bitch.
35:17You're going to get your smack soon enough.
35:22Okay.
35:25All right, so Kayla is going to take Steve to Sarah's office.
35:30He's going to dust for fingerprints, especially that book.
35:33Then we're going to take a look at the security footage so we can find.
35:37Look at you. Acting like a real P.I.
35:41That's me.
35:44Well, I guess you made a good decision when you walked away from Titan and Basic Black when you did
35:49it.
35:50Hmm. Things aren't going so great, huh?
35:54Do you really want to know?
35:57Sure. Hit me.
36:00E.J. used the Shell Company to buy our loan from the bank,
36:03make the terms nearly impossible to me.
36:05We could lose everything.
36:08Accompanying Titan, Basic Black, a lot.
36:13All right, Sander.
36:16Tell me what I can do.
36:20Well, right now my primary concern is getting Holly well, but
36:25if we can take down E.J. in the process, all the better, right?
36:30Oh, I couldn't agree more.
36:33So whatever it takes,
36:36I'm on board.
36:43Holly, sweetheart,
36:47I'm sorry to wake you, but I need to give you some medication.
36:53I spoke to your mom,
36:54and she's okay with us starting eunculation therapy.
36:58So if there's any arsenic in your system,
37:00that's going to clear it out.
37:05I'm so sorry I didn't figure this out sooner.
37:15The sign of fourth century.
37:16Well, Sarah said she left the door off.
37:26So she found it sitting here just like this?
37:30Yeah.
37:31Conveniently open to the section on identifying and treating arsenic poisoning.
37:38So whoever left this seemingly knew what was going on with Holly.
37:43And probably how.
37:45Yeah.
37:46And although I'm so grateful that we got the break we needed to treat her,
37:51who would do something like this?
37:54Baby,
37:55you just focus on saving that girl.
37:57Let Brady and me figure out who left us here and why.
38:06You know,
38:09all I have ever wanted to do was be someone that you and your mom and your little sister or
38:21brother could be proud of.
38:28No, I don't know what's coming, buddy.
38:33But I do promise you one thing.
38:40I will never become my father's son.
38:49Oh, okay.
38:54Oh, goodness.
38:57Oh, God!
