00:02As requested.
00:04Thank you for the prompt delivery.
00:13Oh, excellent.
00:15My inheritance just landed in my bank account.
00:19I suppose the other heirs will be notified shortly, as will you, Rita.
00:23But don't you get any ideas about retiring to Berger?
00:25I need you right here in Salem, especially now.
00:28We do have quite a few irons in the fire.
00:32Father's millions certainly do take some of the sting out of losing my entire investment in Rolf's Miracle Drop.
00:44Nothing eases the pain of knowing that I'm going to lose my sister.
00:52Perhaps Lexi will find some comfort in receiving her inheritance.
00:58Having the peace of mind that her husband and son will want for nothing.
01:06Except her.
01:13Theo.
01:14I know you're upset with me, but please.
01:18Please come home.
01:19We need to talk.
01:28Theo.
01:32Speaking.
01:34Okay.
01:35Yes, well, I've been banking with you for years, but I don't have the money to invest.
01:43How much?
01:47And it was deposited today.
01:52I see.
01:54So, Stefano's estate has been settled.
02:01I see.
02:11So, Stefano's estate has been settled.
02:36Hey.
02:37I am so sorry.
02:38I didn't see you come in.
02:39No worries.
02:40Just, uh, admiring your moves.
02:47How's Holly?
02:48Is she, uh, out of the hospital yet?
02:50Uh, not yet, no.
02:52But I'm going to go see her after this.
02:55How about you?
02:55Have you, uh, visited Xander?
03:00You mean, have I confronted the Pratt for sleeping with Kristen behind my back?
03:04No.
03:05I haven't.
03:06I'm waiting for the perfect opportunity.
03:08So, perhaps in preparation, you can show me a move that will really fit him where it hurts,
03:14you know?
03:32Allie, everything all right?
03:35Are you home by chance?
03:36I am.
03:37I was just about to walk out the door.
03:38Why?
03:40I need a favor.
03:42I need a favor.
03:51Like sand through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.
04:20Alex.
04:24You're back.
04:25Obviously.
04:28What's going on here?
04:30Shh.
04:31You're awake.
04:32I'm awake.
04:39I've obviously overstayed my welcome.
04:47I truly hope it won't come to it, but if this is what it takes to stop Sarah Horton from
04:53looking at how Coraceal ended up in Holly's system, I won't hesitate to use it.
05:02Something on your mind?
05:04I was just thinking about poor Lexi.
05:08Do you know how much time she has before?
05:15Not long.
05:17Could be weeks.
05:19Days.
05:24Have you told Gwen that Rolf's drug was unsuccessful?
05:36What's wrong?
05:37No, I haven't.
05:46But considering how that ingrate turned on me, trying to buy the hospital out from under me,
05:53informing Ms. Rizczyk, that her investment is a total dead loss, is probably the only bright spot in this entire
06:03miserable situation.
06:06Okay, we're going to learn a downward block.
06:09It goes like this.
06:10It's designed to block an attack from an opponent to your lower body.
06:14Don't show the sound of this move.
06:16Okay, so you're going to bring one arm across your chest, and then bring it down in that downward motion.
06:21When you get to full extension, that's the block.
06:23Okay.
06:24Okay, let's give it a shot.
06:25Bring your arm across your chest.
06:28Good.
06:29Okay, keep the fist tight.
06:30Alright, and boom, that's the block.
06:33Okay, give it a shot.
06:36There you go.
06:37Alright, nice and slow, alternate.
06:45Sorry I made that crack about Xander earlier.
06:48I know you only want me to use karate in self-defense.
06:51Just promise me that you're only going to use these techniques if you feel threatened, and that you're not going
06:57to strike first.
07:00Well, okay, I'll take your advice, but there may be more than a few people I need to defend myself
07:06against.
07:07Like who?
07:10E.J., of course.
07:12And Kristen, if she decides to take another go at me.
07:15Are all of your enemies named Demera?
07:20Yeah, for the most part.
07:22Isn't that the case for everyone in Salem?
07:24Yeah, honestly, probably.
07:33Look, I don't know what you're up to, but it's probably something cruel, amoral, and more than likely illegal.
07:39So I want you to stay the hell away from Holly.
07:45I am your boss, Dr. Horton, and I have tolerated your insolence long enough.
07:50That blatant display of disrespect earlier ordering me out of Holly's room.
07:55And I want you to stay out of her room.
07:56My niece doesn't need your help.
07:57No, she doesn't need your help.
08:00And I believe she's made that very clear when you tried to have me kicked off of her case.
08:05Holly is an adult, and you have no right to interfere in her decisions.
08:11I, however, have a great many rights when it comes to decisions about you.
08:15What does that mean?
08:17I have the right to fire you, Dr. Horton.
08:22And I am exercising it now.
08:36Steph, could you pass me my clothes, please?
08:39You don't have to leave, Theo.
08:41I never answered my question, Steph.
08:49Why did Theo spend the night?
08:54Because I had a few too many to drink at small bar.
08:57And Theo, he was a gentleman, walked me home safely.
09:02And then you guys decided to have a handy party?
09:05Listen, not that I owe you any explanation, but I had an argument with my dad.
09:12Oh, daddy issues.
09:13And now, I'm out of here, all right?
09:18No.
09:20Wait.
09:28For you.
09:29His name is Mr. Teddy.
09:31Um, very original.
09:34That's what it says on his name tag, but you can call it whatever you want, Miss Cranky Pants.
09:41That's my name for you.
09:43Uh-huh.
09:45Oh, Holly, I thought you'd be in a better mood.
09:48Since you're no longer dying of arsenic poisoning.
09:50Yeah, well, I mean, sure, I'm obviously glad to not be circling the drain, but it sucks being here.
09:57Like, I just want to get out.
09:58Like, I can't even shower here.
10:00I look gross.
10:01I don't have my makeup.
10:02It actually scares me to look in a mirror.
10:05Will you stop?
10:06You look great with and without makeup, and you know it.
10:10So, do you want to tell me what's really bothering you?
10:16My mom left today, which is fine.
10:19I told her Jude needs her more than I do, but I don't know.
10:25I just, I really wanted her to stay.
10:28I'm really sorry, Holly.
10:31And Tate hasn't come by to see me today?
10:35He will.
10:36He's probably just working this morning.
10:39I don't know, maybe.
10:41Don't stress.
10:44Tate loves you so much.
10:48I bet he brought you there.
10:51No, actually, actually Aaron did.
10:54He stopped by earlier to see me.
10:57Oh!
10:59I bet you're sorry you missed him, huh?
11:07I am all for making love and not war, but when it comes to the Daenerys...
11:13All is not fair in love and war.
11:16Indeed.
11:18My advice to you is stay away from you, Daenerys.
11:26And...
11:28Remember...
11:28Keep your shoulders down.
11:31And chin up.
11:32Always.
11:33Go ahead, the heavy bag.
11:37You're firing me?
11:38Effective immediately.
11:39Pack up your things and go.
11:40Whoa, whoa, whoa.
11:42You...
11:42Can't fire Sarah.
11:44Not only is she an excellent doctor, but she has a contract which you'd be violating.
11:47I'll pay out her contract.
11:48We'll do what her a damn well please.
11:50See you try, you hurricane people.
11:51What's going on here?
11:53EJ just fired Sarah.
11:54What?
11:55You can't do that.
11:56Stay out of this, Dr. Johnson.
11:58No, you are in no position to fire anyone, EJ.
12:00I just spoke with the state board.
12:02And they concluded that the secret experiments that you were conducting here on hospital property,
12:08using hospital resources, were unethical.
12:12So they have decided to revoke your ownership rights.
12:17That's absurd.
12:18So you have 90 days to divest yourself from University Hospital,
12:23or the state will take it in receivership,
12:26and move forward to accept the bid of purchase from...
12:30Gwen Rischin.
12:45Theo, you can't leave until I properly thank you for last night.
12:50You are such a good listener.
12:53So attentive.
12:55So present.
12:57And I hate you with a lot.
13:01It was just so nice to be able to share so much with a friend.
13:07Thanks.
13:09Yeah, yeah.
13:09You were a good friend too.
13:11Now really I should be getting out of here.
13:17Good luck with everything.
13:29Good luck with all our problems, huh?
13:32Yeah.
13:33I bet you did the same with Joy.
13:36Bent her ear all night long.
13:48Why would I be sorry that I missed Aaron?
13:51Maybe because you like him.
13:54What?
13:55He's a total nerd and so annoying.
13:57Ah, come on.
13:59Don't tell me you didn't have fun with him at the cabin before I got sick.
14:02Yes, it was a total blast when he knocked over the kayak and got me soaking wet.
14:09Okay, it kind of was.
14:11And the way he stepped up and helped you was kind of hot.
14:15Ah!
14:16Forget I said that.
14:17No.
14:18No, there's no way I'm forgetting that.
14:21Come on.
14:22Aaron, you know what?
14:23I think maybe you should ask him out.
14:26Aaron, really?
14:28Yeah, you just said he was hot.
14:31Well, look, when he was doing first date stuff, but other times he's just nerdy.
14:36And he's so not my type.
14:38Okay, and how's it worked out so far with your type?
14:42Look, Aaron obviously really likes you, are you?
14:46So maybe finding a new type could be a good thing for you.
14:51I'll think about it.
14:55From the moment you bought this hospital, you have brought nothing but misery to the entire staff.
15:01How dare you?
15:02I saved this place, and all I've got in return is insubordination and ingratitude.
15:07You didn't buy this hospital to help people.
15:10You bought it to help yourself.
15:12You know what I am so grateful for, E.J.?
15:15The day is coming where no one here is ever going to have to deal with you again.
15:23Seeing E.J. get the food is the best news I've had in a very long time.
15:27Same.
15:29Now someone would just boot the bastard off the planet.
15:35This isn't over.
15:36I'm going to appeal the ball's decision.
15:38I'll appeal all you want.
15:40But once that buyout is complete, you're out.
15:43And Gwen's in.
15:50Good.
15:51Good.
15:52One more.
15:53All right.
15:55Nice job.
15:56You went really hard today.
15:58This place really gets my heart pumping.
16:03Sorry.
16:04Excuse me.
16:09Dr. Johnson.
16:10Hello.
16:11What do I owe the pleasure?
16:13Well, I wanted to let you know that the state has decided to remove E.J. as owner of the
16:20hospital.
16:20So, it looks like you would be allowed to purchase it if you are still interested.
16:27Yes, I am very, very interested.
16:32Well, in that case, I will set up a meeting with the board.
16:37I'll get back to you later today, okay?
16:39And, uh, thanks again, Gwen.
16:43No, thank you.
16:44Talk soon.
16:49Good news?
16:51Oh, yes.
16:52Very, very good news.
16:55You are looking at the proud owner of...
16:59Drumroll, please.
17:04The Salem University Hospital.
17:16Why do you have Holly's bag?
17:18Oh, she called me earlier and asked me to grab it from her room.
17:23Bonnie packed her some clothes and toiletries because she's been discharged.
17:29Okay, why do I feel like I did something wrong?
17:32Holly called you behind my back.
17:33She is not ready to be discharged, and she knows it.
17:38Oh, sorry, Sarah.
17:39I didn't realize I was going against your orders.
17:41No, no, it's okay.
17:42It's not you.
17:43It's Holly.
17:44She's just furious with me for suspecting that she's using drugs again, and...
17:50I would love another explanation for how Coraceal ended up in her blood work.
17:57I mean, we went and we took another sample from the well at the cabin, and we took it to
18:04the ISA lab to have it tested there, and nothing.
18:10No Coraceal, no arsenic, nothing.
18:15Julie had the well decontaminated before we got the second sample.
18:21So, either EJ altered the original sample, and now we'll never know if the water that Holly drank was contaminated.
18:28Or she took the drugs on purpose.
18:33In which case, we have a whole other problem on our hands.
18:39Right, but I'm still inclined to believe Holly.
18:44This has EJ's stink all over it.
18:51Well, look, I'm going to grab a bite.
18:54Care to join?
18:56Oh, and I have to show you this video I took of Victoria this morning.
19:01She was singing Itsy Bitsy Spider, and just so proud of herself for knowing all the words.
19:08Hmm, I do have to see that.
19:31Okay, our next session's on the books.
19:34Brilliant.
19:36Uh, congratulations, by the way, on buying the hospital.
19:40This doesn't mean you're not going to be too busy to continue our sessions.
19:44I'm joking.
19:45It's the highlight of my day.
19:47Good.
19:48I'm glad.
19:49Until next time, Gwen, please make love, not war.
19:53Hmm, yeah.
19:55Do my best.
19:58Bye.
20:01I wasn't expecting you home so soon.
20:04I'm surprised that you were able to leave Joy's side.
20:06The nurse came, Stephanie.
20:08So she's helping Joy recover from her whiplash until she's well enough to take care of Kelsey on her own.
20:14But I'm sure you'll be running over there all the time to help.
20:17For my daughter, yes, I will.
20:19Yes, I will.
20:20Of course, I wish I could bring Kelsey here.
20:25Oh, was that your passive-aggressive way of saying if I weren't such a reckless idiot, you could bring her
20:31here?
20:32Nope, not what I meant at all.
20:38You know, Steph, I understand this has become way more complicated than either of us would have ever expected.
20:46And maybe Joy isn't exactly making it any better.
20:50Maybe.
20:52She had you move her to a hotel and then sleep in her room last night.
20:58While Kelsey screamed her head off from midnight till sunrise, nobody was sleeping.
21:05Except Theo, here, in his panties, with you.
21:09Oh, my God, Alex, nothing happened.
21:12And nothing happened with Joy either.
21:14Nor will it ever happen, ever.
21:20You have to trust me on this, Stephanie, okay?
21:23Otherwise, we are never going to find our way through this.
21:27I do trust you, Alex.
21:31Joy's the one that I don't trust.
21:39It is so good to see you, Theo.
21:42Your mother told me that you spent the night at Alex and Stephanie's.
21:45Yep.
21:47You didn't return any of my calls.
21:51And why do you think that is?
21:56I owe you, I owe you a huge apology for conspiring with E.J. to get you away from DiMera.
22:04Well, it's not that you just went behind my back.
22:07It's that you lied to me, Dad.
22:09I am so, so sorry about that.
22:15But I, I, I, I, I wanted to honor your mother's wishes.
22:20At least, what I thought were your mother's wishes, that is.
22:27And it was wrong.
22:29It was wrong of me to go behind your back and collude with E.J.
22:38Look, you know, I did it.
22:43I wanted to protect you.
22:48You, you, you are, you're an honest and ethical person, Theo.
22:58I know that that family, that company, are not.
23:10Can I get you anything?
23:13Thanks, but no.
23:15Honestly, I just want to go home, sleep in my own bed, shower,
23:19eat literally anything else besides this rubber chicken and green jello they give me.
23:24Oh, and not be woken up every five minutes by some nurse.
23:28Totally get it, but the last place I want to be is home right now.
23:33But you're still mad at your mom?
23:35Let's just say when I have kids, I will be the opposite of her.
23:39I will not try to control them or jump in and make decisions for them
23:44because they can't possibly be trusted to do the right thing.
23:48Dude, I totally get it.
23:50It sucks when someone you love has no faith in you,
23:53just like my Aunt Sarah.
23:55But she's always been so cool.
23:57Yeah.
23:58No, I know.
23:58She's always been cool and never judgy.
24:00But with this whole drug situation,
24:02it's like she immediately thought the worst of me.
24:05And now she refuses to believe a word I say.
24:07That sucks, Holly.
24:09I'm so sorry.
24:10Yeah.
24:11Whatever.
24:13I cannot wait until we're back at school,
24:16living in the dorms,
24:17and nobody can tell us what to do.
24:19Oh, my God.
24:20You and me both.
24:24I'm going to keep dating Sarah.
24:27You may think he's untouchable,
24:29but he's not.
24:30And right now, that swine is desperate.
24:33Case in point, when he tried to fire you just now,
24:35that wasn't because he's fed up with your disrespectful behavior.
24:39Why do you think he did it?
24:40Because you're getting too close to the truth.
24:54Steph, it doesn't matter what Joy does.
24:57How can you say that?
25:01She's obviously trying to drive a wedge between us.
25:04And she's only going to be able to do that if you let her.
25:07Me?
25:09I'm not the one who runs to her rescue every five seconds.
25:13No, but you're the one acting like I'm doing it to hurt you.
25:15And then you get mad at me.
25:17And then you shut me out.
25:19That's you driving a wedge between us.
25:28I'm sorry.
25:33It's just...
25:36I feel so hurt when you leave my side to go be with her.
25:42I know.
25:45And I wish I didn't have to.
25:50But you do have to.
25:52And I get that.
25:55I mean, this is about your daughter being there for her.
26:00Which is why I never should have deleted Joy's message about her being in that accident.
26:09Why, baby, there was a time that I silenced your phone in frustration.
26:17And you ended up missing a very important message from your mom.
26:20And I regret that to this day.
26:27We're going to figure it out.
26:30We just have to remember that we are on the same team here.
26:35Right?
26:42I missed you last night.
26:45I missed you last night.
26:48You have no idea how bad I just wanted to come back here.
26:52Really?
26:54Of course, Steph.
26:57I love you.
27:00When I'm not with you, all I do is think about you.
27:03When I am with you, all I want to do is hold you.
27:10I really needed to hear that.
27:20You know, I always thought that you were as honest and ethical as they come.
27:30I mean, you were the person that I admired the most.
27:34But now you lied to me about two hugely important things.
27:38I mean, I don't even know how I can trust you again.
27:50I just want you to know that I will work hard the rest of my life to earn your trust.
28:00And all that I ask is you give me a chance for your mother's sake.
28:07On the old mom card, huh?
28:10We just got her back.
28:12The last thing she needs is for there to be tension between us.
28:17Fine.
28:22I'll get over it.
28:25Thank you, Al.
28:27I'm very, very grateful.
28:33Where is mom, by the way?
28:35Oh, she went out.
28:37I don't know where.
28:38But I got some big news for her when she gets home.
28:44What's that?
28:44She received her inheritance from Stefano.
28:48They deposited it in our bank account today.
28:51But, I mean, as executive, you probably knew that.
28:55Mm-mm.
28:56I knew probate was finished, but I didn't know transfers were being completed.
29:03Well, the money's going to be yours someday.
29:07I don't want it.
29:10I don't want anything to do with No-No, knowing that he was responsible for mom getting sick.
29:15But, look, it's not Stefano's money anymore.
29:19It's your mother's.
29:22And she would want you to have it.
29:30I am counting the minutes until E.J.'s history are on here.
29:35Hey, Manson, huh?
29:36Yeah, but you know he's going to fight it.
29:38But I did read the state's investigation report, and he will not win.
29:43So I still have a job?
29:45Of course you do.
29:47Gee, how's Holly doing?
29:50She's bored and restless.
29:52Can I go see her?
29:54Yeah, sure.
29:55Hey, Tate, will you take Holly her bag and give her the good news that she is going home?
30:02Really?
30:03Yeah.
30:04That's awesome.
30:05Yeah, yeah, yeah.
30:05I'll be in with the discharge papers soon.
30:07Okay, bye.
30:12I, uh, thought you said Holly wasn't ready to be discharged.
30:16Yeah, I did.
30:19Um, but I reconsidered.
30:21You know, she just, she wants out of here so badly.
30:25And I, I feel confident that she's well enough that she can go home where we can keep an eye
30:29on her and see if she's sneaking pills.
30:32Yeah, exactly.
30:37So, I am definitely taking astronomy next semester.
30:42Really?
30:43Dude, I heard that class is, like, really hard.
30:46But really cool.
30:47I mean, who doesn't want to stargaze, right?
30:52Maybe you can convince Erin to take it, and you guys could, like, go stargazing together.
30:57Hey, guys.
31:00See?
31:02Well, beautiful.
31:03Hi.
31:05How are you feeling?
31:07Better now.
31:08I am going to give you two lovebirds some privacy.
31:11I'll see you later.
31:13Bye, Ari.
31:19What?
31:20You look like you've just got good news or something.
31:23Well, we both did.
31:26Sarah is discharging you.
31:29What?
31:29Mm-hmm.
31:31I thought she was going to keep me at least another night.
31:34What changed her mind?
31:35I have no idea.
31:36Oh, okay.
31:38Jane, I'm going home.
31:39Come on.
31:40Let's get you out of here.
31:44Oh.
31:51EJ.
31:56What's wrong?
31:58You look like you've lost your one and only friend.
32:03You don't have any of those, though, do you?
32:07Maybe it's that you've lost your favorite hospital.
32:10Leave my office.
32:12Well, it won't be yours for much longer.
32:17Soon it will be mine.
32:18Oh, I wouldn't celebrate just yet.
32:22The acquisition is hardly a done deal.
32:25And, oh, I'm afraid I have some more bad news for you.
32:28Rolf's Miracle Drive.
32:29No, you are not going to rain on my parade today.
32:35Enjoy your last ta-ra.
32:37While it lasts.
32:57I need to, uh, shower.
32:59Oh, Theo, wait.
33:01I need to ask you.
33:03Has your mother talked to you about going to visit your grandma, Celeste?
33:08We talked about it.
33:10I mean, I guess now we can afford to take first class or charter a private jet.
33:16Well, the thing is, she wants to go alone.
33:21Really?
33:23I thought she talked about all of us going together.
33:26I guess she changed her mind since she wants one-on-one time with her mother.
33:31But, you know, frankly, I'm just really worried about her going all that way by herself.
33:40I guess I just have to respect her wishes.
33:43Well, respecting people's wishes is important.
34:12I promise to never hang up on you again.
34:18Well, I promise to keep you in the loop on what I'm doing and why.
34:33I promise to be more understanding when you need to take care of Kelsey.
34:43And to not interfere when Joy tries to get in touch with you again.
35:03Maybe, as much as I would love to do this forever, I am wiped.
35:10I gotta go to bed.
35:14You want some company?
35:17Is it yours?
35:19Uh-huh.
35:21Yes, please.
35:41I see you, E.J.
35:45You're trying to hide it, but I can tell you you're starting to sweat.
35:49Hmm.
35:50I think you're confusing me with one of your meathead gym bros.
35:55I have nothing to sweat about.
35:56Not even a contaminated batch of coroceal, a cover-up, and anonymously leaving a clue for Sarah about Holly's symptoms.
36:06You're out of your bloody mind, and you're so desperate to find a reason Holly had drugs in her system,
36:11you're blaming me.
36:13If you left that book on my desk, then you saved Holly's life.
36:19Which means that there is some good in you.
36:22I know you care about her.
36:24Of course I do.
36:26But you might have also made her sick in the first place, along with a lot of other people.
36:32How dare you suggest I'd ever do anything to harm Holly?
36:37I was her stepfather when she overdosed and saw that she received the finest treatment available.
36:43I'm also the one helping her deal with Amy Choi in that ridiculous lawsuit.
36:48Is this rant your way of deflecting your concern over your own actions?
36:52Oh, you come at me with all these ludicrous accusations about the harm I'm doing, Holly.
36:58What have you done for Holly besides accuse and alienate her?
37:03If anyone should be concerned about their actions, Aunt Sarah, it should be you.
37:15Okay, I'm going to go change.
37:17Barbie?
37:23Oh, Tate, can you see if there's a hair tie in my bag?
37:26Yep.
37:43Get all the necessary information for a wire transfer.
37:46I'm going to be purchasing University Hospital as soon as all the paperwork is complete.
37:54Wait!
37:55Hey!
37:56Hey!
37:57Hey!
37:57Hey!
38:02Hey!
