00:00Oh
00:22Grandma hey, hi there
00:24Bad time for you. No never up come in please. Thanks
00:30i uh heard you were on the receiving end of tate's fist just wanted to come by and make sure you were
00:38okay and you look oh you look marvelous so uh tate told you huh yeah i saw him at the hospital
00:47earlier he was there with a issue with the baby what is is everything okay yeah oh sure sure it's
00:55just that they they want to put sophia on bed rest for the rest of the pregnancy oh no yeah yeah it's
01:02okay it's only a precaution i'm sure it'll be fine so except for taking a walloping from your cousin
01:12how are you honey
01:18honestly grandma things couldn't be worse
01:28what the hell is the matter with you
01:41what the hell is the matter with you
01:54oh and nice to see you too my lovely daughter-in-law
02:00my god just when i thought you couldn't hurt us any more than you already had
02:04and i'm doing much better thanks oh you know what i'm sorry i would have asked how you're doing
02:08but i don't give a damn duly noted so the last time you came here to chew me out it was about the
02:15adoption falling through i assume that's not the case today since the adoption's back on wrong
02:20it was back on but now it's off and once again it's because of you
02:25hey thanks for uh meeting back up with me sorry i had to run off out of work thing oh yes i know
02:39you're a busy man i needed a coffee break anyway so what uh what did you want to talk to me about
02:46so your date with my brother the one um that he that he won at the auction yes right i remember you
02:59were like that's not happening that's not happening oh okay chad it's it's for charity it he made a
03:09generous donation to the fundraiser i mean it was contingent on me going on a date with him i can't
03:15exactly say no yeah and it'll be like a dinner and a restaurant and that's it okay but you don't
03:20know my brother like i know my brother and this isn't just going to be a date for him he's going to
03:24have it's there's going to be an ulterior motive this is everything i could pull up on dr russell's lab
03:37all right yeah this is a good start yeah but if we're going to break into this place and we're
03:45going to steal that drug we're going to need a lot more we're going to need security codes intel and
03:50how and where the drug is stored i know and normally i would spend weeks casing the joint but we don't
03:58have that kind of time since barring anything short of a miracle it won't be long before that sepsis runs
04:07its course sean if we're going to save your dad we have to be that miracle so what are we going to do
04:17i have to prank kayland on this since university hospital owns the lab she'll have all the intel we
04:26need i really didn't want to involve her but at this point i don't think we have much of a choice
04:37yes kayla do you have a moment i do come in
04:47our conversation this morning ended rather abruptly and i was wondering if we could revisit it
04:54of course uh does this mean that you've changed your mind
05:00are you willing to give my brother access to your drug
05:02like sands through the hourglass so are the days of our lives
05:17that's not why i'm here my position on the drug in question is the same
05:36i can't allow you to use it on your brother i thought it was clear you did make that clear
05:42that if the fda found out that you hadn't followed protocol it could hurt your chances of ever taking
05:47bercevix to the market exactly but i would like to present another argument something that occurred
05:54to me after our initial discussion go for it if your drug works on bow it could actually help you
06:04it could put you on a fast track and if it didn't i mean what then it's just too risky kayla
06:13okay if you have not changed your mind then what do you want i was hoping you'd given some further
06:23thought to my request to be released from my contract as i mentioned earlier i'm being courted
06:29by several big investors and with the uncertain future of university hospital right right right you
06:34want to take your research elsewhere you made that clear before and i think i made it very clear
06:41that that's just not happening you deny my request out of spite because i won't help your brother
06:49of course not and i resent your accusation we both know what success of bercevix could do for this
06:58hospital financially and otherwise and i will not let the future potential of this drug slip through
07:05my fingers i need to do what's best for this hospital by forcing me to stay i am not forcing you to
07:14do anything as an individual you are free to walk away but as per the terms of your contract your research
07:23is property of this hospital i see how it is dr johnson you're willing to break the rules when
07:29it benefits you but to hell with everyone else well screw that jeffrey we have nothing left to say to each
07:37other
07:48but if you take this to aunt kayla are you sure that she's not going to try to stop us
07:54it's a tough call she has a very principled doctor and she's never one for breaking the law
08:02and none of us wants to screw up the development of a drug that could possibly save millions of lives
08:11but i know how much she loves her brother she would do anything to save him
08:18so you think this is a risk that we have to take i don't see any way around it
08:23i'll go talk to her yeah uncle steve look i hope you know no matter what aunt kayla says
08:35i'm not backing down one way or the other i'm gonna get that drug for my dad
08:39so tate told you he punched me i'm sure he also told you why
08:57yes he said you had decided not to go through with the adoption yeah i took your advice i told
09:03you know i wasn't ready to be a father she must have been terribly upset
09:10hence my new digs honey i'm so sorry
09:17you should have seen how disappointed she was grandma and hurt i ruined her dreams of starting a family
09:25well i'm sure it was a terrible shock but i think
09:28in time she will come to realize that you did what you had to do i mean if you go ahead and adopt
09:36a child with all these unresolved feelings it won't work for you or for her or for the baby
09:45so you think i did the right thing
09:53i think once you sort things out
09:58i think you'll find yourself very ready to have a family
10:02what if i never am you know i feel so screwed up right now i don't know if i'll ever be ready
10:08to be a father and in which case i lose chanel forever and that's if i haven't already
10:15i don't understand bill was just here she didn't mention anything about the adoption falling
10:30through again well she probably didn't want to upset you in your delicate state
10:37so what happened i thought amy choy agreed to let you and johnny adopt the baby as long as i wasn't in
10:43his life yeah she did agree to that and it was a done deal all johnny had to do was sign the papers
10:50but then he decided that he wasn't ready to be a parent what why not because of you and your disgusting
10:59past that's why not after learning what you did johnny doesn't even know who he is anymore and now
11:07neither do i i i i i am so sorry what what can i do to help what can i do to fix this fix this
11:17there is no way for you to fix this the damage is already done
11:22you see my husband your son that guy who was so full of joy and light
11:30he's not he's not the same anymore and he never will be because he somehow thinks that he's inherited
11:38your dna and is therefore incapable of ever being a decent parent or even a decent human being
11:48you stole that joy and that life from him and i will never stop hating you for it
12:00no i didn't expect to see you here yeah well i had a few things i needed to tell ej
12:21about the adoption i'm so sorry things didn't work out are you because johnny told me that you
12:34advised him to follow his heart which apparently meant blowing up our chance to start a family
12:51janelle i know you're upset obviously and and i think johnny could have handled this a lot better but
12:58he's he's in so much pain right now finding out about about his father
13:07yeah yes i i do know i just i wish that he had come and talked to me when he
13:14when he first started feeling the way that he did i understand
13:23what i do know is johnny is heartbroken about hurting you and i also know how very much he loves you
13:31i love him too he just he broke my heart i already lost one baby and now i've lost another
13:44oh really so what is this uh this whole terrier motive that ej has i don't know i haven't
14:00exactly figured it out yet but i know my brother and he's always got some kind of angle okay
14:09quite a departure from the concerned brother no ej was shot two weeks ago i love my brother i do i
14:16just know how he operates and i and and there's something you know seems funny about it okay if
14:24i'm honest yes it was it is a little strange i mean we barely know each other i obviously lived under
14:29the same roof with him for a while but like we didn't interact you know and i was thinking okay
14:37boom wakes up out of a coma why is the first thought in his brain
14:42i'm gonna bid on a date at an auction with me of all people yeah i don't know all good questions
14:51um so let's do this just don't agree to do anything that's all i can talk to him and then i'll get to the
15:12uh
15:12oh i've caught you at a bad time
15:20oh no no no no no it's fine i've uh
15:27i've just been overly emotional uh since coming out of the coma
15:33yes well that's one of the side effects so i've been told
15:36and uh chanel was just here she gave me the upsetting news about johnny and the adoption
15:42i saw her on my way in she really laid into me for screwing up my son
15:49for taking away his joy his light
15:55i just wish there was something i could do to help him
16:00maybe give him some space
16:05i've never seen him like this before
16:09filled with so much anger toward me hate
16:18i'm really worried that he
16:22you're worried that he what
16:27i just i just want him to know that i love him
16:33that i'm proud of him
16:36i've never felt so much pain
16:40knowing that my son doesn't want me in his life anymore
16:46i understand
16:50um you said you were worried let me ask you a different question are you
16:56are you afraid that johnny was the one who shot you
17:01hey sean uh did you see my grandfather
17:07um i think he's running errands with kate
17:11he left me a message he said he had some news about the family it sounded kind of serious do you know what he was talking about
17:18yeah yeah yeah it's kind of what they do
17:21it's um it's my dad
17:23he's developed an infection which led to sepsis
17:26given his condition
17:28it gets very serious
17:30oh man
17:33yeah yeah if they don't find an effective way to treat him then
17:36he's going to lose it
17:39are they working on it i mean are they working on finding a treatment
17:43well the problem is they don't they don't have one yet
17:45well one that we have access to anyway
17:48but we're not giving up hope
17:50still got a couple other options to pursue
17:53hey uh how is sean
17:59it's not good
18:02he was really counting on dr russell giving us permission to use his drug
18:08yeah uh jeffrey came by here again while you were gone
18:13i thought maybe he had changed his mind but that's
18:17that's not the case
18:18and why was he here
18:21well i didn't get a chance to tell you before
18:23but he wants out of his contract with the hospital
18:26seems he's been talking to these wealthy investors who want to set him up somewhere else
18:31oh
18:31so big pharma comes knocking and jeffrey is seeing dollar signs huh
18:36yeah i think he just wanted to press the issue again
18:39but i told him
18:41was absolutely no we weren't letting him out of his contract
18:43i bet he didn't like that
18:46no he did not
18:48so this uh this drug he's developing is called versavix right
18:54yeah
18:55you wouldn't happen to keep records of it here in your office would you
19:00yeah i do
19:02why
19:03well i was just wondering if uh
19:06i could take a look at the research

21:20and how'd that go
21:23i

26:59maybe she calmed down a little
27:00but when i saw her

27:03she just
27:03she just looked at me
27:04and
27:05walked away

27:10i think you just need to give her a little bit of time
27:12she'll come around
27:13i mean
27:15you did have a really good reason for walking away from this adoption
27:18did i
27:19well i just being selfish

27:22being a parent is one of the most difficult
27:25but yet it's the most fulfilling jobs ever
27:27i mean
27:29trust me
27:30i am no expert on being a parent
27:33i mean by any means
27:34but i do know
27:35that you have to be fully committed
27:37and
27:38look you have to believe in yourself
27:40all right
27:41and it seems like
27:43you don't have either one of us right now
27:45which is
27:46which is understandable
27:47no i do not
27:49but still you know
27:52i just
27:52i i hate
27:53hate hurting chanel so badly
27:56yeah it's the worst feeling ever
27:58and knowing the people that you love
28:00are suffering because of your actions
28:02and
28:02it's sort of what i'm dealing with with my dad right now
28:07and
28:08knowing that he may die
28:10because
28:10because i made a bad call
28:12okay
28:14look
28:15sean
28:15i know i'm not the first person to tell you this okay
28:20but what happened
28:21was not your fault
28:22you were protecting your mom
28:24look
28:25thank you
28:26for
28:27trying to let me off the hook
28:28but
28:29no matter how many different ways that i try to
28:33justify
28:34what i did
28:34i just
28:35listen i can't do it
28:37i can't
28:39and now it's like knowing that he may die
28:42well the guilt
28:45it's
28:46the guilt of shooting my father
28:47it's uh it's overwhelming
28:51i
28:59take it
29:01you're not a fan
29:01that you're father-in-law
29:02chat
29:03that man is a monster
29:05okay
29:05he destroys everything that he touches
29:07including his son
29:08johnny is so messed up by ej that he
29:11he decided
29:12to call off our plans to adopt a baby
29:15that's why the adoption is not happening
29:18it was johnny's decision
29:20yeah
29:21god it was
29:22it was so
29:22awful
29:24it was like we worked so hard to make it happen
29:28and then he just
29:29he ruined everything
29:31chanel
29:32did he explain why
29:35yeah
29:36yeah and he had valid reasons
29:39but i just wish that he and i could have talked about it more
29:43well there's still time right you still can
29:47what's the point
29:49it's not like he's changing his mind about the adoption
29:52maybe not
29:55right
29:57but
29:58maybe
29:59it's possible for the two of you to at least
30:03be able to
30:05find a better understanding of the other's point of view
30:08i mean i know that this is
30:10absolutely none of my business
30:12but you both have been so wonderful to my sister
30:16felicity loves you
30:18like i just
30:20i just hope you two can work it out
30:22chad it's not a real date so you can drop the attitude okay
30:30i heard kayla talking about the auction for the fundraiser and i wanted to contribute
30:34could you take this off
30:36after all the doctors did just save my life
30:40okay so then why not just make a donation
30:43i thought this would be more fun
30:46which has been sorely lacking in my life
30:48lately as i'm sure you're aware
30:50why cat green there was there was a lot of other bachelorettes
30:55look her and i got along well enough while she was living in the mansion so i thought
30:59oh
31:02so that's why you're so upset you're still mad at her for pretending to be abigail
31:07no
31:08it's not that we're
31:10she and i we're we're we're friends now
31:13well then what's the problem
31:15because i i i feel like you're up to something and i don't want cat to get mixed up in it so
31:20look this is what i'm gonna do i'm gonna i'm gonna buy you out of your bid
31:25oh
31:27so you want to go on a date with her
31:29no i don't want you to go on a date with her

31:41do you have feelings for this woman
31:52well
31:53do you have romantic feelings for miss green or not
31:59do you
32:00not in the slightest
32:01i'm sure she's delightful but i'm already spoken for
32:05oh yeah
32:05mm-hmm i'm seeing bell
32:08since when
32:10since she finally gave in to what she's been fighting for a while now
32:15which is what
32:16that she loves me and all it took was for me to be shot and put into a coma
32:21mind you i believe she wishes she didn't have feelings for me that would make her life a lot
32:27uh simpler yeah well that's probably true my point is i don't have feelings for cat which brings us back to you chat
32:35i mean come on you know how could how could i have possibly have feelings for her after what she she put me and abigail's family through i mean she put us through hell
32:47well
32:48but correct me if i'm wrong she only did that because clive forced it to
32:52and
32:53and it sounds like you've already forgiven her you did just say you were friends
32:59yeah but but friends is one thing dating is something entirely different i mean
33:04what would abby's family say who cares what anyone thinks
33:12you can't let other people's reactions stop you from following your heart
33:17especially if it means finding happiness which you so richly deserve little brother
33:22dr evans i wasn't sure if you were coming back in today oh i'm sorry i didn't keep you in the
33:36loop i had to uh run some personal errands no worries at all oh um any news about your husband
33:45no no maria sorry to hear that thank you i understand that congratulations are in order
33:55uh i guess the hospital fundraiser was a browsing success thank you um although a lot of that credit
34:04goes to you i would not have pursued it if you hadn't encouraged me well in any event i'm told that
34:10we raised enough money to keep the hospitalers open for a few more months
34:13yes we got several generous donations but there is one that i will admit puts me in a little bit of
34:21an awkward position how so oh it's it has to do with ije demura
34:33but don't worry mom i'm sure that things are going to turn around soon
34:37yeah yeah dad is a fighter and i know i know he just wants to get back here and he wants to be with
34:43you and he wants to get back here and be with all of us like he's not going to give up
34:51yeah well i guess all we can do right now is we can just pray for a miracle
34:56and um any luck i might just get one
35:06okay all right i love you too all right bye
35:09hey here uh pick up for dr jeffrey rossman
35:29sean told me about uncle beau i i'm so sorry grandpa
35:33well just um hey keep keep me posted if you get any updates keep me posted
35:41yeah yeah i love you too bye
35:46uh chanel hi may i come in yeah yeah of course
36:04okay uh look johnny i'm so furious with you hey i i hate that you dropped a bomb on me
36:17at the last minute and you single-handedly torpedoed our adoption
36:23but now that i've had some time to cool off i can kind of appreciate more where you are coming from
36:36i think that finding out truth about your parents and about how you were conceived
36:44to turn your world upside down and while i was ready to become
36:50a parent to start a family i i understand why you were not
36:59wow um
37:02i wasn't expecting this thank you thank you for for understanding where i was coming from
37:09does this mean you're ready to forgive me
37:29so ej demero won the bid to go out with you to
37:33do the two of you even know each other but barely chad and i for the life of us can't figure out why
37:40he did it
37:43maybe he's interested in you
37:47i don't know about that chad is pretty convinced that he has some kind of nefarious ulterior motive
37:53oh well i i wouldn't put that past him
38:02okay look i appreciate that you want me to be happy but um
38:07happy with cat it's just uh it's just too complicated
38:10you're making it complicated by being mired in the past
38:19look i have an idea why don't i gift you my date with her oh stop that you spent a lot of money on
38:27that bit oh i can well afford it chad and i would like to do this for you i really would
38:31why the sudden generosity oh haven't you heard thanks to my coma i'm a changed man
38:42seriously supposedly i'm a kinder and gentler version of my old self and the crazy part is
38:49i think it's true
38:53okay well happy to hear that and uh thank you for the offer you know it's very kind and gentle of you
39:01but uh i can't accept it because uh i just i don't want to give a cat the wrong impression
39:09is it the wrong impression i mean it's the perfect setup you can tell her that your brother was
39:19feeling magnanimous and decided to give you his date with her that way you too can go out and have
39:24fun no expectations no pressure all because it's under the guise of charity and then if you and cat
39:34fall madly in love then all the better
39:37i'm sorry johnny but i'm not ready to forgive you
39:55you really hurt me and i need
40:01more time and and space before i'm ready for you to come home
40:09but uh
40:13there's still hope for us
40:15i swear to you chanel all right i i am willing to put in the work okay and and and i and i talked
40:31to your mom and she told me to fight for our marriage and i want you to know that i intend to do just that
40:37you said the same thing to me i think she and half a salem are rooting for us
40:46yeah that's because they know that we have something special
40:51okay and i know right i know i know that i that i screwed things up
40:55all right and i know that i hurt you but i swear i will do whatever it takes to make it right
41:12all right
41:26all right there's some ex research
41:30you press to the lab
41:36huh building security codes
41:41dr johnson you are very thorough
42:00it's about time you got back to me
42:07yeah you're damn right there's a problem university hospital is refusing to let me out of my contract
42:13which means our plans for vercevix have just gone up in smoke
42:16don't worry dr russell all hope is not lost trust me
