00:00Oh!
00:01Oh!
00:02Hey!
00:03Hey!
00:04Geez, you are aware that it's just the two of us having breakfast, right?
00:07Not the Salem High Lacrosse team?
00:09Oh, yes, I know.
00:10Felicity always hooks me up with extra pastries.
00:12That's pretty sweet.
00:14How's she doing?
00:15Working at the bakery has been awesome for her,
00:19and she is definitely still riding high from her Olympiad ceremony.
00:23She should be.
00:24It's an awesome day.
00:26We'll dig in.
00:27Yes, all right.
00:29Okay.
00:31So, you told me you wanted to tell me something in person.
00:34What's up?
00:35Uh, yeah.
00:36I talked to my brother about the auction date,
00:39and it's officially off.
00:41Oh, you canceled it?
00:43No, I didn't.
00:46I did.
00:47Oh!
00:48Morning, Chanel.
00:49Morning.
00:50Morning.
00:51Morning.
00:52Morning.
00:53So, what do you think of our new place?
00:56Oh, it's just great.
00:57Especially Mama's office.
00:58It's so much more spacious than the last one.
00:59I just can't believe how quickly you guys unpacked and got everything organized.
01:01Well, you were a big help.
01:02Hey, can I, uh, can I get you anything?
01:03No, I'm good.
01:04Are you?
01:05Are you?
01:06Not really.
01:07Not really.
01:09Oh, I just threw you.
01:11Oh.
01:12The section of the ruin date is something like you did here,
01:14um, like you,��ependent, ah uno, the Entire volontittees.
01:17Evmore, V Greeting in the hotel.
01:18Oh, dear time.
01:19You're family, pod business.
01:20Oh, it's just great.
01:23Especially Mama's office.
01:24It's so much more spacious than the last one.
01:26I just can't believe how quickly you guys unpacked and got everything organized.
01:28Well, you were a big help.
01:30Hey, can I, uh, can I get you anything?
01:36I just, I've been having a lot of trouble sleeping.
01:42You know, Chanel, I am, I am so sorry about the adoption falling through.
01:49Yeah, yeah, me too.
01:53Oh, God, I can't even begin to explain how much this hurts.
02:00You don't have to.
02:01Well, I know exactly, exactly how you feel.
02:18Johnny, thanks for coming by.
02:20No problem.
02:22I take it you're still at the Salem Inn?
02:25I am, yes, yes.
02:27I must have spent at least half my time here in Salem staying in that place.
02:34Always shuttling in and out for one reason or another.
02:36How's your stay been so far?
02:38That's fine.
02:40Although the waffle maker was on the fritz this morning, so I couldn't have my favorite breakfast.
02:46That's a shame.
02:47I can promise you if you come work here at Titan, you'll be eating like a king again in no time.
02:53Have you given any thought to my offer?
02:54What are you doing in my office?
03:06I believe you and I have some unfinished business to discuss.
03:09Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.
03:25And in case you're worried about Edie's donation, money's already been posited, so it is not refundable.
03:44Oh, well, well, that's good.
03:46Well, are you, you know, disappointed, are you?
03:53Oh, I admit, I was really looking forward to dining out with the mysterious E.J. DiMera.
04:02No, I don't know.
04:03It's a little strange, right?
04:05He contributed a lot of money, and he's apparently dating Dr. Evans' daughter now.
04:11It's weird.
04:12Yeah, well, you know, he said since he woke up from his coma, he's a more decent and generous person.
04:19So he bit on me because he's a good guy.
04:25What, do you want him to be in love with you?
04:26I don't know.
04:28No, of course not.
04:30I don't know.
04:31It's just, I, it is strange, I think.
04:36He made such a big donation.
04:38He's obviously spoken for, and I just, I'm just like, I'm not used to people throwing that much money around.
04:43And, uh, no, I don't know if it makes it better or worse, but I offered to reimburse him.
04:50You did.
04:52Hi.
04:56Big guy, look, I, um, I love my brother, but, uh, you know, as much as I believe he's trying to do the right thing,
05:05I don't think he's somebody you should be indebted to.
05:08Right.
05:09You did make that very clear.
05:11Um, okay, so, did he accept your offer?
05:18He did not, no, he, um, uh, gave me a counter-offer, which I accepted.
05:27Okay, what's the counter-offer?
05:30He just thought that the money should go towards you going on a date.
05:36With me.
05:36Oh, I figured I'd give you the night to sleep on my offer.
05:45Oh, very kind of you.
05:46I know how much stress you can under with the hospital losing funding and desperate for a buyer.
05:52I don't think that desperate would be the word that I would choose.
05:55If that is it may, I wanted to give you another chance to, uh, accept my very timely offer before I went to the board.
06:01Because, if I do acquire this hospital, one of my priorities will be maintaining a staff that is not only competent, but loyal.
06:11Is that a threat?
06:12If you aren't so cynical, Dr. Johnson, you will see that this is all very positive, that I am giving you the opportunity to be a hero and save this place from shutting down.
06:23You know, I am well aware of the Damaris' donation to this hospital.
06:32But like I said last night, every dollar that has come from Stefano came with strings attached.
06:40And I presume that you will be the same.
06:43No strings.
06:43Okay, maybe no strings yet, but I cannot, in good faith, sign off on the Damaris taking control of this wonderful hospital that is part of Tom and Alice's legacy.
06:59I think that they would just be appalled if I let that happen.
07:05So, good luck with the board.
07:12You are being very unwise, Kayla.
07:17And you will soon realize that this self-righteous moral stand of yours is pointless, because I am going to own this hospital one way or another.
07:35I am going to own this hospital one way or another.
07:42Can we be real with each other, Xander?
07:45I would hope so.
07:46Okay, then tell me please, why are you interested in hiring me here at Titan?
07:51I mean, I've made a couple of movies, I've directed some TV, but my experience in the corporate world is limited at best.
08:01True, your resume is a tad thin.
08:06I know you're smart and capable.
08:08And really, I think it would be reassuring for the remaining Damaris Enterprise employees to have an actual respectable Damaris.
08:16Respectable, that's the word?
08:18Well, someone who's committed to helping Titan succeed, who doesn't have any real bad blood of the Kiriakuses.
08:25Ah, you mean the way there is with the rest of my family?
08:28Business can get messy, Johnny.
08:30I'm sure I don't have to tell you.
08:32That's not a good family.
08:33Indeed.
08:34Look, that all sounds great, Xander, but you said we're going to be real with each other.
08:41I am being real.
08:42Okay, so there's no other reason that you might want to hire me here at Titan?
08:49Why won't?
08:50Like, maybe you want to use me as a way to get at my father.
08:56And if that were true, would that be a deal, Greg?
09:00Good morning, EJ.
09:08Is it?
09:12Something wrong?
09:14Well, call me cynical.
09:15What I'm finding, trying to do something good for someone else is not all that rewarding.
09:22I would say that is cynical.
09:25Is it?
09:25Marlena, I almost died.
09:33And my son has no empathy for me whatsoever.
09:36Can't even find it in his heart to just give me the time of day.
09:41Don't you mention that everyone is treating me like the criminal instead of the victim?
09:46Surely you can see how that's a little bit demoralizing.
09:48Wanting to get something off your chest?
09:58Marlena, how can I continue to change, evolve, if everyone is so skeptical that I'm even able to change?
10:11You must know why people are skeptical.
10:14You've hurt so many people in the past.
10:20It was a mistake that you didn't understand.
10:22Let me finish.
10:27If you really want people to think better of you,
10:32that you can do better, that you can be better,
10:35you've got to give them a chance.
10:39People will come around.
10:43Eventually.
10:44Most of them.
10:48So you really think I could?
10:51That someone like me is capable of change?
10:55Well, I wouldn't be in the business I'm in if I didn't believe that.
11:02My daughter, Belle,
11:04thinks you are sincere about wanting to change.
11:07And Belle is not just whip-smart, she's a highly principled person.
11:14So, I think you've got hope.
11:18Well, that means a lot to me, Marlena.
11:22I appreciate your faith in me.
11:24And, speaking of Belle,
11:28I just want you to know that I am very grateful that she is in my life.
11:33I deeply care for your daughter.
11:39And that doesn't seem to please you.
11:41No, it doesn't.
11:42It worries me.
11:45Why is that?
11:48Because I've seen what happens to people that you care about.
11:52So, do you do you love a Belle?
11:59Yeah.
12:13Hey, Kayla.
12:14Hey.
12:15Hi.
12:15Are you in the minute?
12:16Yes, of course.
12:18What are you doing here?
12:19You're supposed to be heading off on your mini honeymoon.
12:21Oh, I am.
12:22I just wanted to check on some patients first.
12:25Of course you do.
12:27Um, could you do me a favor?
12:30While I'm out of town,
12:31would you check in on little Maximus and his family?
12:34Uh, the little boy with Gabe Bray?
12:37Sure.
12:37How's he doing?
12:38Oh, he's making real progress.
12:40Hopefully he'll be released soon.
12:42Well, that's great.
12:43Yes, I will definitely keep an eye on him.
12:45I appreciate it.
12:46And also, thank you for letting me skip the medical conference.
12:50Of course.
12:51If anybody deserves a vacation, it's you.
12:53Who, uh, who did you send in my place?
12:56Um, Dr. Russell.
12:58Jeffrey Russell?
13:00Yeah.
13:01When was the last time he was out of his lab?
13:03I think it's been a while.
13:05Uh, he needed a break, I thought.
13:07Great.
13:07Well, I will let you get back to your very fun-looking hospital paperwork.
13:12Uh, thank you.
13:14Hey, listen, I should probably tell you that, uh, our pal E.J. Demira came by here.
13:20Um, what did he want?
13:22He offered to buy the hospital.
13:26What?
13:28That's amazing.
13:29I mean, he can save it from closing, right?
13:31No, he can't.
13:34He won't.
13:35Because I told him to take a hike.
13:37I've already told you how much Belle means to me, and I'm aware that she is not that far
13:47removed from a painful divorce, but I swear to you, Marlene, your daughter is in good hands.
13:52You mean hands that squeeze somebody so tightly that it just squeezes the very life out of them?
14:01You know, like happened with Sammy.
14:05I'm not going to even attempt to defend my past actions.
14:13They are indefensible, actually.
14:15All I can do is try to do better moving forward as a partner and a father.
14:24Speaking of which, have you had a chance to talk to Johnny?
14:30Oh, I'm having breaks with him today.
14:34And are you still willing to speak to him, put in a good word for me?
14:41I will ask him to contact you.
14:45I'm not doing it for you.
14:49I'm doing it for him.
14:52He needs to have a conversation with you.
14:56No matter how painful it is, he's got so much going on inside him.
15:03He's caring so much, I'm worried about him.
15:07I'm worried about what he might do next.
15:15What are you doing?
15:29EJ?
15:34You all right?
15:39Yeah.
15:40Now that I think about it, I really don't care why you want to bring me on here at Titan.
15:45And if the reason is to stick it to my father, well, I'd actually make the offer a little more attractive.
15:53Glad to hear it.
15:54You see, I've always been adamant to my father that I want nothing to do with the family business.
16:00Which is no longer your family's business.
16:02And I'm sure that he would be especially displeased to find out that I'm working for the company that took it from him.
16:09Well, do you want to send a message to your father that you are your own man?
16:13Or better way.
16:14You know, I do have one question.
16:18What exactly would my job be here?
16:22Just know that you'll be a valued employee of Titan.
16:24We'd be thrilled to have you.
16:26Okay.
16:29Okay.
16:30Okay.
16:30Well, um, I'm going to need a little more time to think about it, but I'll be in touch.
16:36Of course, fair enough.
16:38I should get going myself.
16:40Sarah and I are heading out of town for a long weekend getaway.
16:43I'm sure you want to discuss this with your wife, too.
16:45Lexi and I raised Isaac as our mom for almost two years.
17:03When we had to turn him over to Bo and Hope.
17:11Lexi, uh...
17:12Lexi went off a cliff.
17:17Eve, I don't want to compare what I'm going through to what you and Lexi went through.
17:23I haven't even met Sophia's baby.
17:27It doesn't make it any less painful.
17:31I don't know.
17:32But you and Lexi were able to get past it, right?
17:39Well, thankfully, God sent us our wonderful son.
17:44Oh, Theo.
17:47And did having him in your lives make things better for the two of you?
17:52Oh, it did.
17:53It did.
17:53I mean, he definitely, definitely helped heal our hearts.
18:02Well, thank you for sharing that.
18:07But, uh, well, as things stand now for Johnny and me,
18:14him having lost his desire to be a father,
18:17there isn't going to be a miracle baby.
18:20So, I'm not sure that Johnny and I will be able to heal our hearts
18:31the same way that you and Lexi were.
18:36And, uh, well, if I'm being honest,
18:40that's why I'm not sure that
18:44that Johnny and I will be able to find our way back to each other.
18:55Hmm.
18:57So,
18:58do you want to go on a date with me?
19:03Oh, you're okay with a last-minute substitution?
19:05Are you okay with it?
19:11I mean, yeah, okay, look,
19:12I think that was going to be a little bit weird between us, sure.
19:16But, um,
19:17you know, we're friends now,
19:19and as a friend,
19:19I'm going to save you from an awkward date with my brother.
19:22Okay.
19:24That's a mission of mercy.
19:26No, it's an expression of gratitude
19:27for everything you did for the fundraiser.
19:31Well, I mean,
19:35I couldn't have done it without you.
19:37Okay, so then we make a great team.
19:40We raise a lot of money.
19:43True.
19:43A wonderful cause.
19:47So, are you going to go on this date with me?
19:49I mean, you know,
19:51we came with a hefty price tag,
19:55but
19:55it doesn't mean the, uh,
19:58it doesn't mean you can't have a casual date,
20:00dinner and movie.
20:02Have a fun night.
20:06Um,
20:07okay,
20:08it's a date.
20:10Yeah.
20:10Yeah.
20:24Believe me,
20:25I understand why you would be wary
20:27of EJ DiMera owning the hospital,
20:30considering all of the shenanigans
20:31his family has pulled here over the years.
20:35Yeah,
20:35but I just saw that reaction on your face
20:37when I told you about the offer.
20:40Do you think I'm making a mistake
20:42turning him down?
20:45I'm not going to pretend
20:46that I wasn't relieved
20:48at the idea of keeping my job
20:50or
20:51that the hospital
20:52that means so much
20:53to my family
20:54could be saved.
20:57But, Kelly,
20:58you're chief of staff.
21:02This is your call to make.
21:05Yeah, but what if my call
21:07means that this place
21:09goes out of business for goods?
21:10Well, I mean,
21:14all those donations
21:15that we had
21:16had to buy us sometime,
21:17right?
21:19Yeah.
21:20Yeah.
21:21But we're not out of the woods yet.
21:27If EJ DiMera
21:28is offering to buy something,
21:30it's because he thinks
21:32it's a good investment.
21:34So if he's interested
21:35in University Hospital,
21:36that means that there have
21:39to be other buyers
21:41out there, too.
21:48EJ, you winced.
21:49Why?
21:51Oh, uh,
21:52just some residual pain
21:53from the wound.
21:54Shall I call a nurse?
21:55It's fine.
21:56I just need to get some rest.
21:58Um, you'll let me know
21:59how things go with Johnny?
22:01Oh, yes.
22:02I will.
22:04Take care.
22:06Sarah.
22:11What are you doing here?
22:12I thought you'd have
22:13done your trip already.
22:14I was just going to do
22:15one last round
22:16and check on all my patients
22:17and then I am out of here.
22:20Good.
22:21You know,
22:22you and Xander deserve this.
22:24You've worked very hard
22:25for a little rest
22:27and relaxation.
22:28Mm-hmm.
22:28I couldn't agree more.
22:30Of course,
22:35I love Johnny
22:37so much
22:39and I know
22:40that he didn't mean
22:41to hurt me,
22:42but
22:42I'm just,
22:43I'm having a really hard time
22:45forgiving him.
22:47God,
22:48he,
22:48when Johnny was struggling
22:51with what his father
22:52did to his mother
22:53and when he started
22:53having doubts,
22:54why didn't he come to me?
22:55I am guessing
22:58that he was afraid
23:01of hurting him.
23:03But this hurts
23:04so much more.
23:07God,
23:07why would he just
23:08call off the adoption
23:10with no warning,
23:11no discussion?
23:12I'm his wife,
23:13for God's sake.
23:14I agree.
23:15I agree.
23:17Maybe Johnny,
23:18Johnny definitely
23:20didn't handle this
23:21the right way,
23:22but,
23:23you know,
23:24I think he would agree too.
23:29You said before
23:31that when you lost Isaac,
23:34that Lexi went off,
23:36off a cliff.
23:37Well,
23:40I'm worried
23:41that the same thing
23:43happened to Johnny
23:44around the time
23:46EJ was shot.
23:56Johnny.
23:57Hey.
23:58Hey, guys.
23:59How's it going?
24:00Hey, Johnny.
24:01Good.
24:02I'm glad
24:02that I ran into you.
24:03I need to talk to you.
24:04Sorry,
24:05I'm actually on my way
24:06to meet my grandma
24:06for breakfast.
24:07It's only going to take
24:08a second.
24:08I promise.
24:10I'm going to go get
24:10some coffee refills.
24:16What's going on?
24:20Look, man,
24:20your dad is really
24:23anxious to see you.
24:25You know,
24:25he misses you
24:26when he wants
24:27to patch things up.
24:28Yeah, well,
24:28I'm actually pretty busy
24:30myself,
24:30and patching things up
24:31with my father
24:32is not even
24:33at the bottom
24:34of my list, so.
24:35I get it,
24:35and I know
24:36we've had this discussion
24:37before, you know,
24:38when your dad was
24:39in a coma,
24:39but he's awake now.
24:43Just maybe think
24:45of some of the fun times
24:46you guys have had together,
24:47and, you know,
24:48he loves you,
24:48and he deeply regrets
24:50the mistakes he's made.
24:51Mistakes?
24:53He did a lot more
24:54than make a mistake.
24:56Okay, not only
24:57did he violate
24:57my mother,
24:58but he lied to me
24:59for years,
25:00pretended to be somebody
25:01that he wasn't.
25:02So, so, so, so,
25:03no, Chad,
25:03I'm not ready
25:04to forgive him yet,
25:05okay?
25:06Could you forgive somebody
25:07who caused you
25:08that much pain?
25:14Sorry to keep you waiting,
25:15doctor.
25:16I got held up
25:17at the hospital.
25:19Listen,
25:19I don't have much time.
25:20Dr. Johnson's got me
25:21going to a medical conference
25:22in Chicago.
25:23What did she say
25:24about you wanting
25:25to purchase the hospital?
25:26Kayla not so respectfully
25:28declined my offer.
25:30So, what?
25:31My research just
25:33dies on a vine?
25:34Not quite.
25:36While your esteemed
25:37chief of staff
25:38may be determined
25:39to shoot herself
25:39in the foot,
25:40there are other avenues
25:41to explore.
25:43Like what?
25:44Ankhai, my friend.
25:46We may have lost
25:47today's battle,
25:48but we will win the war.
26:00Chanel.
26:01Why did you hear
26:05that reaction?
26:07What do you mean?
26:10Well, you said
26:11that Johnny
26:12went off a cliff
26:15around the time
26:17E.J. was shot.
26:19Oh, you know what?
26:21I shouldn't have said that.
26:22Let's just drop it.
26:25But, honey,
26:26sweetheart,
26:28are you considering
26:31the possibility
26:33that Johnny
26:36shot his father?
26:41Are you?
26:41Well, I...
26:44I can't stop thinking
26:46about when Johnny
26:48said that his father
26:49was dead to him.
26:51And then
26:52he said that he wished
26:55that he had died.
26:58And...
26:59Well, on the night
27:00of the shooting,
27:01Johnny was gone
27:03for a long time.
27:04and when he came back,
27:06he seemed so
27:08distant.
27:13Abe,
27:14what do I do?
27:18Well, you...
27:20You should talk to him.
27:24And maybe he can...
27:25Maybe he can help
27:27ease your mind.
27:30Yeah.
27:32Yeah.
27:33Maybe.
27:34Hopefully, right?
27:37Okay, well, uh...
27:38You know what?
27:39Thanks for listening.
27:42I'm very grateful
27:47for you.
27:49I'm always,
27:51always here.
27:53I know.
27:55Okay, I should, uh...
27:56I should get to work.
27:57Have you spoken
28:13to Chanel?
28:14Um...
28:15Yeah, I...
28:16I saw her yesterday.
28:18Um...
28:19Not for very long,
28:20but...
28:21She did seem...
28:23more understanding
28:24than she had been
28:25about me backing
28:26out of the adoption.
28:28That's a...
28:29a positive
28:30development.
28:31Yeah.
28:32I'm still
28:33not ready for me
28:34to come home.
28:36Yeah.
28:37She's gonna need time
28:39to grieve this loss.
28:43And you're going to need
28:44to make sure she knows
28:45you are there for her
28:47every step of the way.
28:48She...
28:49She definitely knows that.
28:52Good.
28:54And if you're hoping
28:55to reconcile
28:57and go back
28:57to a place
28:58where you were
29:00when you wanted
29:02to have a family,
29:03you're gonna have
29:06to do some work
29:07on who you are.
29:09On your own identity,
29:11you're gonna have
29:11to figure out
29:12who that is.
29:13And the only way
29:14you can do that
29:14is by talking
29:17to your father.
29:17Well, have a safe
29:23trip, doctor.
29:24I'll let you know
29:24if and when
29:25there's news
29:25on the hospital.
29:27Good luck.
29:28Me too.
29:28Titan Industries.
29:37Titan Industries.
29:40Hello?
29:42Is this Dr. Jeffrey Russell?
29:44Yes.
29:45Who's this?
29:47Xander Kiriakis.
29:48I'm CEO
29:49of Titan Industries.
29:52How may I assist you?
29:54Well, I've heard
29:55about your research
29:55into the cure
29:56for sepsis.
29:58Impressive work.
30:02Well, I have
30:02an offer for you.
30:04Mr. Kiriakis,
30:05I'm not exactly sure
30:06how you learned
30:07about my trials,
30:08but the drug
30:09is owned
30:09by University Hospital.
30:11It's not for sale.
30:13I see.
30:15Well, I was told
30:16something very similar
30:17about Demerit Enterprises,
30:20and now I own them.
30:21So, keep my number.
30:24I'll be in touch.
30:31Hello, husband.
30:33Oh, hello, wine.
30:35How'd it go
30:35to the hospital?
30:36All good.
30:37I'm officially
30:38off the clock.
30:39All my patients
30:40are covered,
30:41and Kayla is sending
30:43Dr. Russell
30:43in my place.
30:45Dr. Russell,
30:46the researcher?
30:47That's the guy.
30:49Huh.
30:50Well, that was nice
30:50of Kayla.
30:51We should bring her back
30:52her bottle of wine
30:53or something
30:53to say thank you.
30:55Aw.
30:56Yeah, that's really sweet.
30:57She's been very stressed
30:59out lately.
31:00Not easy being
31:01chief of staff
31:02at a hospital
31:02against some
31:03financial distress.
31:05Yeah.
31:06She told me that
31:07E.J. offered to buy it,
31:08but she turned him down.
31:10E.J. wants to buy you
31:11the university hospital.
31:14No more talk about work.
31:16All done.
31:17Right.
31:17Off the clock means
31:19off the clock.
31:21You know,
31:23why don't we divide
31:24and conquer with our errands
31:25so we can get on
31:26the road quicker?
31:27Okay, yeah.
31:28I will go to the pharmacy.
31:30You get snacks.
31:31Sounds like a plan.
31:32I'll see you right back
31:33here in a few minutes.
31:33Okay.
31:34Come on.
31:34Yes, Alex.
31:42Hi.
31:43I'm about to head out of town,
31:45but you need to move
31:47on to the hospital now.
31:48Okay, are we ready?
32:00Yeah.
32:01Yeah, Dr. Russell
32:02is en route
32:02to the conference
32:03in Chicago.
32:05The rest of his research team
32:06has the weekend off,
32:08so I think we're ready
32:10to move.
32:10Look, I understand.
32:15I understand all the reasons
32:17that you think
32:17I should talk to my dad.
32:20And?
32:22And?
32:24I'll think about it.
32:28Well,
32:29I guess that's the most
32:31I can ask.
32:32I do think it would be
32:35a good idea
32:35if you would
32:36talk to somebody
32:39about your feelings.
32:42Isn't that what
32:42I'm doing right now?
32:44It is.
32:45With your grandmother.
32:47Oh, you mean
32:48therapy.
32:50I do.
32:52And if you think
32:53that's a good idea,
32:54I could recommend
32:55somebody who would be
32:56a very good match
32:57for you.
33:02You need somebody
33:05who can help you
33:07through this crisis.
33:10And somebody
33:10who can help you
33:11clear your head
33:12so you can
33:14be there
33:15when Chanel needs you.
33:18I do have some
33:19big decisions to make.
33:21Career decisions, I mean.
33:25Oh?
33:27Yeah, Xander Kiriakis
33:29offered me a job.
33:30Xander?
33:34He wanted you
33:35to work it tight.
33:38You never even
33:39wanted to work
33:39at DeMera.
33:40No.
33:40No, in fact.
33:41I always kind of
33:43hated the idea
33:44of it.
33:46What is he thinking
33:48he wants you to do?
33:50Oh, he
33:50said that we would
33:52figure it out.
33:56But sounds like
33:57you're
33:57considering it.
33:58Yeah, I mean,
34:02part of me thinks
34:02maybe it's
34:03time to settle down
34:05and get a real
34:07job.
34:09I've had a great
34:10time
34:10being a director.
34:14I don't know.
34:15Maybe taking a
34:16corporate job,
34:17a more secure
34:18career path,
34:20it just feels like
34:22the adult thing
34:23to do.
34:24you know,
34:24it feels like a
34:24good way
34:25to prove to
34:26Chanel that
34:27I can be the
34:28husband that she
34:28needs me to be,
34:29that I'm pressing
34:30the reset button
34:32on my life.
34:38Hey, Chanel.
34:39How are you?
34:40Oh, hey.
34:42I'm okay.
34:44What are you guys
34:45up to?
34:45Well, we are
34:47about to go on a
34:49mini-moon getaway
34:50to the lake with
34:51Victoria.
34:52That's great.
34:54Yeah, it's nice
34:55to get some time
34:56together.
34:56We've been so busy
34:57at work, so just
34:58the three of us,
35:00Daddy, Mommy,
35:01our little girls,
35:01it'll be great.
35:03Oh, yeah,
35:04that sounds like
35:05you guys are going
35:06to have a wonderful
35:07time.
35:09Um, hey,
35:10should I get you
35:11something from the
35:12bakery for the road?
35:13Oh, yeah, yes,
35:14we would love some
35:16of your famous
35:16scones.
35:17Okay, uh,
35:18what flavor?
35:20I want the lemon.
35:23Toffee for me.
35:25Okay, yeah,
35:26great choices.
35:26I'll, um,
35:27I'll be right back.
35:31So, what do you
35:32think of my
35:33suggestion?
35:34Dinner and the
35:35movies?
35:35Yes, I love it.
35:36The only thing is
35:38I've recently checked
35:40out the movie listings
35:41and it's only
35:42superhero flicks.
35:43If we can do
35:45something more
35:46outdoorsy.
35:47Okay.
35:49Hmm, how about
35:50rock climbing?
35:51Oh, that would be
35:52lovely if we split
35:53the difference.
35:54Okay.
35:56Um, okay,
35:59well, I, uh,
36:00I know this, um,
36:01really, uh,
36:03a nice little spot
36:04down by the river.
36:05It's got a great
36:05view.
36:06You could have a
36:07picnic.
36:08Oh, I like that.
36:11I mean, unless this is
36:12some elaborate land
36:13for you to be able
36:14to push me in the
36:15water.
36:17Why would I push you
36:18in the river?
36:20Well, I don't know.
36:21I grew up with two
36:23brothers.
36:23Every pool, lake,
36:26river was an opportunity
36:27for them to chuck me in.
36:29Although, I did get very
36:30clever at outsmarting
36:31them.
36:32Wow.
36:33Okay, uh,
36:34I'll take that as a
36:36challenge.
36:37And you better be ready,
36:38especially if there's
36:39some wine involved.
36:41Oh, if there's wine
36:43involved, you better
36:44watch your back.
36:45Because, uh, I might
36:47just push you in first.
36:48Okay, is it working
37:07now?
37:08Okay.
37:09Okay, once you get
37:10into Russell's lab, you
37:11should be able to use the
37:12remote access for the
37:13cameras in the hallway.
37:15Turn those off.
37:16and then look for
37:18VersaVix.
37:19Okay?
37:20No, no, no.
37:20Just take the one dose
37:23and get out of there.
37:23All right?
37:25Oh, my God.
37:26If this saves Beau,
37:28well, you know,
37:29it'll all be worth it.
37:31Okay, just be careful.
37:33All right?
37:34I love you.
37:39Thank you for, uh,
37:40for always being here
37:41to listen.
37:43Well, I wish I could
37:44do more.
37:45You've, you've
37:46come plenty.
37:48I promise.
37:49And having a full
37:50stomach certainly helps.
37:51I feel like I'm already
37:52thinking more clearly.
37:54And, and please,
37:55text me, uh,
37:56text me a name of a
37:57therapist you think
37:58would be a good fit,
37:59like you said.
38:00I will do that.
38:03I will do that.
38:03I will send you those
38:04as soon as I get back
38:06to the office.
38:08Oh, God.
38:12Oh, I know this
38:13hasn't been easy for you.
38:15I'm so proud of you.
38:16I'm Kazeer.
38:21Would you like me to stay?
38:23Uh, no.
38:24No, that's fine.
38:25You sure?
38:25I'm not.
38:26Yeah, I'm, I'm okay.
38:28All right.
38:29I'll check out
38:30when you take care.
38:35Hey.
38:35Hello, son.
38:48You know,
38:49technically,
38:50our vacation has started.
38:52A bit more relaxed already.
38:54Yes, as do I.
38:55More relaxed and
38:57happy to be with my husband
38:59with no distractions.
39:01And,
39:01what's wrong?
39:10It's lemon.
39:12It doesn't taste,
39:14it tastes different.
39:15Well, if you don't like it,
39:16you can swap with me.
39:16You want some toffee?
39:18Sarah?
39:20Sarah?
39:22Something wrong with Sarah?
39:24Is she okay?
39:25Sarah?
39:27Sarah, what is it?
39:27What, what, what's,
39:28what's that, what's that?
39:29Someone call 9-1-1?
39:33Sarah told me,
39:34stay with me.
