00:00Uh-huh!
00:02I like cheese!
00:04You are aware that it's just the two of us having breakfast, right?
00:06Not the Salem High Lacrosse team?
00:08Oh, yes, I know.
00:09Felicity always hooks me up with extra pastries.
00:11That's pretty sweet.
00:13How is she doing?
00:14Working at the bakery has been awesome for her,
00:17and she is definitely still riding high from her Olympiad ceremony.
00:22She should be.
00:22That's an awesome day.
00:25We'll dig in.
00:25Yes, all right.
00:26Okay, so you told me you wanted to tell me something in person. What's up?
00:33Uh, yeah. I talked to my brother about the auction date, and it's officially off.
00:39Oh, you canceled it?
00:41Mm-hmm. No, I didn't.
00:43Oh, morning, Chanel.
00:57Morning.
00:59So, what do you think of a new place?
01:04Oh, it's just great. Especially Mama's office. It's so much more spacious than the last one.
01:09I just can't believe how quickly you guys unpacked and got everything organized.
01:14Well, you were big help. Hey, can I get you anything?
01:19No, I'm good.
01:22Are you?
01:26Not really.
01:29I just... I've been having a lot of trouble sleeping.
01:33You know, Chanel, I am...
01:37I am so sorry about the adoption falling through.
01:42Yeah.
01:43Yeah, me too.
01:45Oh, God, I can't even begin to explain how much this hurts.
01:52You don't have to.
01:53I know exactly, exactly how you feel.
02:08Johnny, thanks for coming by.
02:11No problem.
02:12I take it you're still at the Salem Inn?
02:15I am, yes.
02:17Yes.
02:18Must have spent at least half my time here in Salem staying in that place.
02:22Always shuttling in and out for one reason or another.
02:25How's your stay been so far?
02:27That's...
02:28It's fine.
02:28Although the, uh...
02:30The waffle maker was on the fritz this morning, so I couldn't have my favorite breakfast.
02:34It's a shame.
02:36I can promise you, if you come work here at Titan,
02:38you'll be eating like a king again in no time.
02:41Have you given any thought to my offer?
02:42What are you doing in my office?
02:53I believe you and I have some unfinished business to discuss.
02:56Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.
03:10And I guess you're worried about Edie's donation.
03:25The money's already been posited, so it is not refundable.
03:28Oh, well, that's good.
03:33Well, are you, you know, disappointed, are you?
03:35Oh, I admit, I was really looking forward to dining out with the mysterious E.J. DiMera.
03:45No, I don't know, it's a little strange, right?
03:48He contributed a lot of money, and he's apparently dating Dr. Evan's daughter now.
03:54That's weird.
03:55Yeah, well, you know, he said since he woke up from his coma,
03:58he's a more decent and generous person.
04:01So he bid on me because he's a good guy?
04:07What, did you want him to be in love with you? I don't know.
04:09No, of course not.
04:12I don't know, it's just, I...
04:14It is strange, I think.
04:17He made such a big donation, he's obviously spoken for,
04:19and I just, I'm just like, I'm not used to people throwing that much money around.
04:24No, I don't know, it makes it better or worse, but I offered to reimburse him.
04:27You did. Hi.
04:35Big guy, look, I, um, I love my brother, but, uh, you know,
04:42as much as I believe he's trying to do the right thing,
04:44I don't think he's somebody you should be a dead end to.
04:47Right, you did make that very clear.
04:49Um, okay, so, did he accept your offer?
04:56He did not, no, he, uh,
04:59gave me a counter-offer, which I accepted.
05:05Okay, what's the counter-offer?
05:08It's just not that the money should go towards you going on a date.
05:12With me.
05:13Oh, I figured I'd give you the night to sleep on my offer.
05:21Oh, very kind of you.
05:22I know how much stress you remember with the hospital losing funding and desperate for a buyer.
05:27I don't think that desperate would be the word that I would choose.
05:30If that is a mayor, I wanted to give you another chance to, uh,
05:33accept my very timely offer before I went to the board.
05:36Because, if I do acquire this hospital,
05:39one of my priorities will be maintaining a staff that is not only competent,
05:43but loyal.
05:46Is that a threat?
05:48If you aren't so cynical, Dr. Johnson,
05:50you will see that this is all very positive,
05:52that I am giving you the opportunity to be a hero
05:54and save this place from shutting down.
05:58You know, I am well aware
06:01of the Damaris donation to this hospital.
06:04But, like I said last night,
06:07every dollar that has come from Stefano
06:10came with strings attached.
06:12And I presume that you will be the same.
06:15No strings.
06:16Okay, maybe no strings yet.
06:18But I cannot, in good faith,
06:22sign off on the Damaris taking control of this
06:24wonderful hospital
06:26that is part of Tom and Alice's legacy.
06:29I think that they would just be appalled
06:33if I let that happen.
06:37So, good luck.
06:42You are being very unwise, Kayla.
06:47And you will soon realize
06:48that this self-righteous moral stand of yours
06:51is pointless
06:52because I am going to own this hospital
06:55one way or another.
07:08Can we be real with each other, Xander?
07:12I would hope so.
07:13Okay, then
07:14tell me, please.
07:16Why are you interested in hiring me here at Titan?
07:18I mean, I've made a couple of movies.
07:20I've directed some TV.
07:22But my experience in the corporate world
07:24is
07:25limited
07:26at best.
07:28True.
07:29Your resume is a tad
07:30thin.
07:32I know you're smart and capable.
07:34And really, I think it would be reassuring
07:36for the remaining
07:36Demera Enterprises employees
07:38to have an actual
07:39respectable Demera around.
07:42Respectable?
07:42That's the word, Dory.
07:44Or someone
07:44who's committed to helping Titan succeed
07:46who doesn't have any real bad blood
07:48of the Kyriaguses.
07:50Ah, you mean the way there is
07:51with the rest of my family?
07:53Business can get messy, Jon.
07:55I'm sure I don't have to tell you that.
07:56That's not a good family.
07:57Indeed.
07:58Look, that all sounds great, Xander,
08:01but
08:01you said we're going to be real
08:03with each other.
08:04I am being real.
08:06Okay, so there's no
08:07no other reason
08:09that you might want to
08:10hire me here at Titan?
08:12Why what?
08:14Like, maybe you want to use me
08:16as a way to get at my father.
08:19I guess that would true.
08:21Would that be a deal, Greg?
08:29Good morning, EJ.
08:30Is it?
08:34Something wrong?
08:34Well, I'll call me cynical,
08:37but I'm finding
08:38trying to do something good
08:39for someone else
08:40is not all that rewarding.
08:43I would say that is cynical.
08:46Is it?
08:49Well, then, I...
08:50I almost died.
08:53And my son has no empathy
08:55for me whatsoever.
08:56Can't even find it in his heart
08:58to just give me the time of day.
08:59Don't you mention
09:01that everyone
09:02is treating me
09:02like the criminal
09:03instead of the victim?
09:05Surely you can see
09:06how that's a little bit
09:07demoralizing.
09:10Wanting to get something
09:11off your chest?
09:11Marlena,
09:17how can I continue
09:19to change,
09:21evolve,
09:22if everyone
09:23is so skeptical
09:24that I'm even
09:26able to change?
09:29You must know
09:30why people are skeptical.
09:33You've hurt
09:34so many people
09:35in the past.
09:36It was a mistake
09:38that you don't understand.
09:38Let me finish.
09:43If you really want
09:45people to think
09:46better of you,
09:48that you can do better,
09:49that you can be better,
09:51you've got to give them
09:52a chance.
09:54People will
09:55come around.
09:58Eventually.
10:00Most of them.
10:03So you really think
10:04if I could,
10:05that someone like me
10:06is capable of change.
10:09Well,
10:10I wouldn't be
10:10in the business
10:11I'm in
10:11if I didn't believe that.
10:15My daughter,
10:16Belle,
10:17thinks you are sincere
10:19about wanting to change.
10:22And Belle is not
10:23just whip-smart.
10:25She's a highly
10:26principled person.
10:27So,
10:28I think you've got hope.
10:33Well,
10:33that means a lot to me.
10:34Well,
10:35I know.
10:35I appreciate
10:36your faith for me.
10:38And speaking of Belle,
10:40I just want you
10:41to know
10:42that I am
10:43very grateful
10:44that she is in my life.
10:46I deeply care
10:47for your daughter.
10:51And that doesn't
10:52seem to please you.
10:53No,
10:53it doesn't.
10:55It worries me.
10:57Why is that?
10:58because I've seen
11:00what happens
11:01to people
11:01that you care about.
11:06So,
11:07do you,
11:07do you
11:07love Belle?
11:09yeah?
11:22Hey,
11:23Kayla.
11:23Hey,
11:23hi.
11:24Are you together in it?
11:25Yes,
11:26of course.
11:26What are you doing here?
11:27You're supposed to be
11:27heading off on your
11:28mini honeymoon.
11:29Oh,
11:30I am.
11:30I just,
11:30I wanted to
11:31check on some patients first.
11:33Of course you do.
11:35Um,
11:35could you do me a favor?
11:38While I'm out of town,
11:39would you check in
11:40on little Maximus
11:41and his family?
11:42Uh,
11:42the little boy
11:42with a gay Bray?
11:44Sure.
11:44How's he doing?
11:45Uh,
11:46he's,
11:46he's making real progress
11:47and hopefully he'll be
11:48released soon.
11:49Oh,
11:49that's great.
11:49Yes,
11:50I will definitely
11:50keep an eye on him.
11:51I appreciate it.
11:52And also,
11:53thank you for letting me
11:55skip the medical conference.
11:56Of course.
11:57If anybody deserves
11:58a vacation,
11:58it's you.
11:59Who,
12:00uh,
12:00who did you send
12:01in my place?
12:02Um,
12:02Dr. Russell.
12:04Jeffrey Russell.
12:06Yeah,
12:06when was the last time
12:07he was out of his lab?
12:09I think it's been a while.
12:10Uh,
12:10he needed a break,
12:11I thought.
12:12Great.
12:12Well,
12:13I will let you
12:15get back to your
12:15very fun-looking
12:16hospital paperwork.
12:17Uh,
12:18thank you.
12:19Hey,
12:20listen,
12:20I should probably
12:20tell you that,
12:21uh,
12:22our pal E.J.
12:23DeMira came by here.
12:25What did he want?
12:27He offered to buy
12:28the hospital.
12:30What?
12:32That's amazing.
12:33I mean,
12:33he can save it
12:34from closing,
12:34right?
12:36No,
12:36he can't.
12:37He won't.
12:39Because I told him
12:39to take a hike.
12:40I've already told you
12:46how much
12:46Belle means to me,
12:48and I'm aware
12:48that she's not that
12:49far removed
12:50from a painful divorce,
12:51but I swear to you,
12:52Marlene,
12:53your daughter
12:53is in good hands.
12:56You mean hands
12:57that squeeze somebody
12:59so tightly
13:00that it just squeezes
13:01the very life
13:02out of them?
13:03you know,
13:05like happened
13:06with Sammy.
13:08I'm not going
13:09to even attempt
13:10to defend
13:12my past actions.
13:13They are
13:14indefensible,
13:15actually.
13:15all I can do
13:18is try to do
13:19better
13:20moving forward
13:21as a partner
13:22and a father.
13:25Speaking of which,
13:26have you had a chance
13:27to talk to Johnny?
13:29Oh,
13:30I'm having
13:31a break
13:31with him today.
13:33And are you
13:34still willing
13:34to speak to him
13:36wouldn't a good
13:38word for me?
13:40I won't ask him
13:41to contact you.
13:44I'm not doing
13:45it for you.
13:47I'm doing it
13:48for him.
13:50He needs to have
13:51a conversation
13:52with you.
13:54No matter
13:54how painful it is,
13:55he's got so much
13:57going on
13:57inside him.
14:00He's caring
14:00so much
14:01I'm worried
14:01about him.
14:03I'm worried
14:04about
14:04what you might
14:06do next.
14:21What are you doing?
14:24BJ?
14:29You all right?
14:29Now that I think
14:35about it,
14:36I really don't care
14:37why you want
14:37to bring me on
14:38here at Titan.
14:39And if the reason
14:40is to stick it
14:41to my father,
14:42well,
14:44I'd actually make
14:45the offer
14:45a little more
14:45attractive.
14:47Glad to hear it.
14:48You see,
14:48I've always been
14:49adamant
14:50to my father
14:51that I want
14:52nothing to do
14:52with the family
14:53business.
14:54Which is no longer
14:54your family business.
14:55And I'm sure
14:56that he would be
14:57especially displeased
14:58to find out
14:58that I'm working
14:59for the company
15:00that took it from
15:00him.
15:01Well,
15:02if you want
15:02to send a message
15:03to your father
15:03that you are
15:04your own man,
15:05well,
15:05better way.
15:08You know,
15:08I do have
15:09one question.
15:10What exactly
15:10would my job
15:12be here?
15:13Just know
15:14that you'll be
15:14a valued employee
15:15of Titan
15:15and we'd be
15:16thrilled to have you.
15:19Okay.
15:21Okay,
15:21well,
15:21I'm going to need
15:23a little more
15:24time
15:24to think
15:25about it
15:25but I'll
15:26be in touch.
15:27Of course,
15:27fair enough.
15:28I should get
15:29going myself.
15:30Sarah and I
15:30are heading
15:31out of town
15:31for a long
15:32weekend getaway.
15:33I'm sure
15:33you want to
15:34discuss this
15:34with your wife
15:35too.
15:37Right.
15:37Yeah.
15:38Yeah.
15:40We'll talk
15:40when I get back.
15:44Lexi and I
15:45raised Isaac
15:47as her
15:48for almost
15:51two years.
15:53when we had
15:55to turn him
15:55over to
15:56Bo and Hope.
15:58Lexi,
15:59Lexi went
16:02off a cliff.
16:04He,
16:05I don't want
16:07to compare
16:07what I'm going
16:08through to what
16:09you and Lexi
16:10went through.
16:11I haven't even
16:12met Sophia's
16:13baby.
16:14That doesn't
16:14make it any
16:15less painful.
16:17I don't know.
16:20But you
16:20and Lexi
16:22were able
16:22to get past
16:23it, right?
16:26Thankfully,
16:27God sent us
16:28our wonderful
16:29son.
16:31Theo.
16:33And did
16:34having him
16:34in your lives
16:35make things
16:36better for the
16:37two of you?
16:37Oh, it did.
16:38It did.
16:39I mean,
16:39he definitely,
16:41definitely helped
16:42heal our hearts.
16:43thank you
16:48for sharing
16:50that.
16:51But, uh,
16:53well,
16:53as things
16:54stand now
16:55for Johnny
16:56and me,
16:57him having
16:58lost his
16:59desire to be
16:59a father,
17:01there isn't
17:02going to be
17:02a miracle
17:03baby.
17:03so I'm
17:07not sure
17:08that Johnny
17:09and I
17:10will be
17:11able to
17:12heal our
17:13hearts
17:13the same
17:14way that
17:15you and
17:16Lexi were.
17:18And,
17:19uh,
17:20well,
17:21if I'm
17:22being honest,
17:22I,
17:23that's why
17:25I'm not
17:25sure that
17:26Johnny and I
17:27will be able
17:28to find our
17:28way back

18:08you did
18:09for the
18:09fundraiser.
18:13Well,

18:16great team.
18:17We raise

18:18of money.
18:20For
18:20a wonderful
18:21cause.
18:25So
18:25are you
18:25going to
18:25go on
18:25this
18:26date
18:26with
18:26me?
18:26I mean,
18:27you know,
18:28came with
18:29a hefty price
18:31tag,
18:31but
18:31doesn't mean
18:33we can't
18:36have a casual
18:36date,
18:37dinner,
18:37movie,
18:38have a fun
18:39night.
18:43Okay,
18:44it's a date.
18:45Yeah.
18:46Yeah.
18:46believe me,
18:59I understand
19:00why you would
19:01be wary
19:01of E.J.
19:02DeMira
19:03owning the
19:03hospital,
19:04considering
19:04all of the
19:05shenanigans
19:05his family
19:06has pulled
19:07here over
19:07the years.
19:09Yeah,
19:09but I just
19:10saw that
19:10reaction on
19:11your face
19:11when I told
19:11you about
19:12the offer.
19:12Do you
19:14think I'm
19:14making a
19:15mistake
19:15turning him
19:15down?
19:18I'm not
19:19going to
19:19pretend that
19:20I wasn't
19:20relieved at
19:21the idea
19:22of keeping
19:23my job
19:23or that
19:24the hospital
19:25that means
19:26so much
19:26to my
19:26family
19:27could be
19:28saved.
19:30But Kelly,
19:30you're
19:32chief of
19:32staff.
19:34This is
19:34your call
19:35to make.
19:37Yeah,
19:37but what if
19:38my call
19:39means that
19:40this place
19:40goes out of
19:41business for
19:41goods?
19:43Well,
19:43I mean,
19:44all those
19:46donations that
19:46we had had
19:47to buy us
19:47sometime,
19:48right?
19:50Yeah,
19:51yeah,
19:51but we're
19:53not out of
19:53the woods
19:53yet.
19:57If EJ DeMira
19:59is offering
19:59to buy
20:00something,
20:01it's because
20:01he thinks
20:02it's a good
20:02investment.
20:03So if he's
20:04interested in
20:05university
20:05hospital,
20:07that means
20:08that there
20:08have to be
20:09other buyers
20:10out there
20:10too.
20:17EJ,
20:17you went
20:18to twine.
20:19Oh,
20:20just some
20:21residual pain
20:22from the
20:22wound.
20:23Shall I
20:23call a nurse?
20:24It's fine,
20:24I just need
20:24to get
20:25some rest.
20:26You'll let
20:27me know
20:27how things
20:27go with
20:28Johnny?
20:29Oh,
20:29yes,
20:30I will.
20:31You take
20:32care.
20:36Sarah,
20:37what are you
20:39doing here?
20:39I thought
20:39you left
20:40on your
20:40trip already.
20:41I was
20:41just going
20:42to do
20:42one last
20:42round and
20:43check on
20:43all my
20:43patients and
20:44then I
20:45am out of
20:45here.
20:46Good.
20:48You know,
20:48you and
20:48Xander deserve
20:50this.
20:50You've worked
20:51very hard for
20:51a little rest
20:53and relaxation.
20:54I couldn't
20:54agree more.
21:00Of course,
21:01I love
21:02Johnny so
21:03much and
21:04I know that
21:05he didn't
21:06mean to
21:06hurt me,
21:07but I'm
21:08just having
21:09a really
21:09hard time
21:10forgiving
21:10him.
21:12When Johnny
21:15was struggling
21:15with what his
21:16father did to
21:16his mother and
21:17when he started
21:17having doubts,
21:18why didn't
21:19he come to
21:19me?
21:20I am
21:21guessing
21:22that he was
21:24afraid of
21:25hurting him.
21:26But this
21:27hurts so
21:27much more.
21:30Why would
21:31he just
21:31call off the
21:32adoption with
21:33no warning,
21:34no discussion?
21:35I'm his
21:35wife, for
21:36God's sakes.
21:37I agree.
21:40Maybe
21:40Johnny
21:40definitely
21:42didn't handle
21:43this the
21:44right way,
21:45but, you
21:46know, I
21:47think he
21:47would agree
21:48too.
21:50you said
21:51before
21:52that when
21:54you lost
21:55Isaac,
21:56that Lexi
21:56went off
21:57a cliff.
22:00Well,
22:01I'm worried
22:02that the
22:03same thing
22:03happened to
22:04Johnny
22:04around the
22:07time EJ
22:07was shot.
22:15Johnny.
22:17Hey,
22:18guys,
22:18how's it
22:19going?
22:20Hey,
22:20Johnny.
22:21Good.
22:21I'm glad
22:21that I ran
22:22to you.
22:22I need to
22:23talk to you.
22:23I'm sorry.
22:24I'm actually
22:24on my way
22:25to meet
22:25my grandma
22:25for breakfast.
22:26It's only
22:26going to
22:27take a
22:27second.
22:27I promise.
22:28I'm going to
22:29go get
22:29some coffee
22:30refills.
22:34What's going
22:35on?
22:38Look,
22:38man,
22:38your dad
22:40is really
22:41anxious to
22:42see you.
22:42You know,
22:43he misses you
22:44when he wants
22:44to patch
22:45things up.
22:45Yeah,
22:46well,
22:46I'm actually
22:47pretty busy
22:47myself,
22:48and patching
22:48things up
22:49with my
22:49father is
22:49not even
22:50at the
22:50bottom of
22:51my list,
22:51so.
22:52I get it,
22:52and I know
22:53we've had
22:54this discussion
22:54before.
22:55You know,
22:55dad was in
22:56a cone up,
22:56but he's
22:56awake now.
22:57just maybe
23:01think of
23:01some of
23:01the fun
23:02times you
23:02guys have
23:02had together.
23:03You know,
23:04he loves
23:04you,
23:05and he
23:05deeply
23:06regrets
23:06the mistakes.
23:07Mistakes?
23:08He did
23:09a lot more
23:10than make
23:10a mistake.
23:12Okay,
23:12not only
23:12did he
23:12violate
23:13my mother,
23:14but he
23:14lied to
23:14me for
23:15years,
23:15pretended
23:15to be
23:16somebody
23:16that he
23:17wasn't.
23:17So,
23:17no,
23:18Chad,
23:18I'm not
23:19ready to
23:19forgive him
23:20yet,
23:20okay?
23:21Could you
23:21forgive somebody
23:22who caused
23:23you that
23:23much pain?
23:27Sorry to
23:29keep you
23:29waiting,
23:30doctor.
23:30I got
23:30held up
23:31at the
23:31hospital.
23:33Listen,
23:33I don't
23:33have much
23:34time.
23:34Dr. Johnson's
23:35got me
23:35going to
23:35a medical
23:36conference
23:36in Chicago.

23:38she say
23:38about you
23:38wanting to
23:39purchase
23:39the
23:39hospital?
23:40Kayla
23:40not so
23:41respectfully
23:41declined
23:42my offer.
23:43So,
23:44what,
23:44my research
23:45just dies
23:46on the vine?
23:47Not quite.
23:49While your
23:49esteemed
23:50chief of
23:50staff may
23:51be determined
23:51to shoot
23:52herself in
23:52the foot,
23:53there are
23:53other avenues
23:54to explore.
23:55Like what?
23:56my friend
23:57may have
23:59lost today's
23:59battle,
24:00but we
24:00will win
24:01the war.
24:11Janelle,
24:12why did
24:15you hear
24:15that reaction?
24:17What
24:17do you
24:18mean?
24:20Well,
24:21you said
24:21that Johnny
24:22went off
24:24a cliff
24:25around the
24:27time EJ
24:27was shot.
24:29Oh,
24:29you know
24:30what,
24:30I shouldn't
24:31have said
24:31that.
24:31Let's

24:32him.
24:34What
24:35kind of
24:35you?
24:37Sweetheart,
24:38are you
24:39considering
24:40the possibility
24:42that Johnny
24:45shot his
24:45father?
24:49Are you?
24:50well,
24:51I can't
24:53stop thinking
24:54about
24:55when Johnny
24:56said that
24:57his father
24:57was dead
24:57to him.
24:59And then
25:00he said
25:01that he
25:02wished that
25:02he had
25:03died.
25:04And
25:05on the
25:07night of
25:07the shooting,
25:08Johnny was
25:09gone for
25:10a long
25:11time,
25:11and when
25:12he came
25:12back,
25:14he seemed
25:14so
25:15distant.
25:17he,
25:20what do
25:20I do?
25:24Well,
25:24you,
25:25you should
25:26talk to
25:27him.
25:29And maybe
25:29he can,
25:30maybe he
25:32can help
25:32ease your
25:33mind.
25:35Yeah.
25:36Yeah.
25:37Maybe.
25:39Hopefully,
25:39right?
25:40Okay,
25:42well,
25:42you know
25:43what,
25:43thanks for
25:43listening.
25:47Mm-hmm.

26:00get to work.
26:00Okay.

26:15Chanel?
26:16Um,

26:21very long,
26:21but she
26:23did seem
26:23more
26:24understanding
26:25than she
26:25had been
26:26about me
26:26backing out
26:27of the
26:27adoption.
26:29That's
26:29a positive
26:31development.
26:32Yeah,

26:34ready for
26:34me to

26:38gonna need
26:38time.
26:40to grieve
26:40this loss.
26:42And you're
26:43going to
26:43need to
26:44make sure
26:44she knows
26:45you were

26:46her every
26:47step of

27:08own identity,
27:09you're gonna
27:09have to figure
27:09out who
27:10that is.
27:10And the
27:11only way
27:11you're gonna
27:11do that
27:12is by
27:14talking to
27:14your father.

29:22Come on.
29:28Yes,
29:29Alex,
29:29hi,
29:30I'm about
29:31to head
29:31out of town,
29:32but you
29:33need to
29:33move on
29:34hospital.
29:35No.
29:43Okay,
29:44are we
29:44ready?
29:46Yeah,
29:47yeah,
29:47Dr. Russell
29:47is en route
29:48to the
29:48conference
29:49in Chicago.
29:49the rest
29:51of his
29:51research
29:51team
29:52has the
29:52weekend
29:53off,
29:53so I
29:55think we're
29:55ready to
29:55move.
29:59Look,
29:59I understand,
30:00I understand
30:01all the reasons
30:02that you think
30:02I should talk
30:03to my dad.
30:05And?
30:06And?
30:08I'll think
30:09about it.
30:12Well,
30:13I guess that's
30:14the most I can
30:15ask.
30:17I do think
30:18it would be a
30:19good idea if
30:19you would
30:20talk to
30:22somebody about
30:22your feelings.
30:25Isn't that
30:25what I'm doing
30:26right now?
30:27It is.
30:28With your
30:28grandmother.
30:30You mean
30:31therapy?
30:33I do.
30:35And if you
30:35think that's
30:36a good idea,
30:36I could
30:37recommend
30:37somebody who
30:38would be a
30:38very good
30:39match for
30:39you.
30:45You need
30:46somebody who
30:47can help
30:48you through
30:48this crisis.
30:49and somebody
30:51who can help
30:52you clear
30:52your head
30:53so you
30:54can be
30:55there when
30:56Chanel needs
30:56you.
30:58I do have
30:59some big
31:01decisions to
31:01make.
31:02Career decisions,
31:03I mean.
31:03Zander Kyriakos
31:09offered me a
31:09job.
31:11Zander?
31:14He wanted
31:14you to work
31:15at Titan.
31:17You never
31:18even wanted to
31:18work at
31:18Demira.
31:19No,
31:19no,
31:20in fact,
31:20I always
31:21kind of hated
31:22the idea
31:23of it.
31:25What is he
31:26thinking he
31:26wants you to
31:27do?
31:27or he
31:28said that
31:30we would
31:30figure it
31:31out.
31:33But
31:34sounds like
31:34you're
31:35considering it.
31:38Yeah,
31:39I mean,
31:39part of me
31:39thinks maybe
31:40it's
31:41time to
31:42settle down,
31:43you know,
31:43get a real
31:44job.

31:53job,
31:54a more
31:54secure
31:55career path
31:56is,

32:03the husband
