THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!
[phone ringing]
[soft dramatic music]
[phone ringing]
Joy, hey. Yeah, I’m feeling a lot better. Thank you again for yesterday. I owe you one. You got to chill about all this. OK? I’m not going to say anything to Chanel. Not a word about you and Johnny. I told you. [knock at door] Hey, somebody’s at my door right now. I got to let you go. All right. Happy Thanksgiving to you too.
[phone beeps] [Alex sighs]
[soft dramatic music]
Well, look at you two boys. You sure are efficient.
I’m just happy that we could lend a hand. It, uh, feels a lot more gratifying than just writing an annual check to the food pantry.
Oh, sure does. So how’s our missing third doing?
Well, he’s still weak, but he’s a lot better than he was the other day. I don’t think he’ll eat a cupcake again for a while.
Oh, poor dude.
Yeah, well, it wasn’t just him. Alex and Abe got sick as well.
I heard. But the police think Hattie’s the one who sent those tainted cupcakes. They put an APB out on her yesterday.
Wow.
I mean, I know that Hattie’s always been, you know, somewhat unstable, but do you really think that she would try and poison the entire cast and crew of “Body & Soul”?
Well, she’s done a lot crazier things now, hasn’t she?
I got to tell you, Salem sure does attract a lot of crazies.
Yes, it does. Look, could you hold down the fort for a bit?
Yeah, we got it covered, Kate.
OK. I just have to go deal with something. See you. Bye.
[sighs]
[phone rings]
[phone rings]
[suspenseful music] Unknown caller.
[phone rings] Hello? I’m sorry. Did you say Statesville Prison?
Uh, sure. I’ll accept the call.
A-and a Happy Thanksgiving to you, too, Vivian.
[tense music]
Kayla.
Oh, Maggie. Good morning.
Hi. I just came out of Sarah’s room. The bed’s empty. I can’t find Xander. Do you have any idea where she could be? [Kayla sighs]
[somber music]
Oh. [gasps] Xander. You startled me. Oh, my God! I heard the great news that Sarah’s up and walking! That’s so wonderful! [gasps] How’s she feeling this morning?
Well, see for yourself.
[chuckles] Hey, Bonnie.
Oh, my God. Sarah. [gasps] This is a Thanksgiving miracle! [laughter]
[soft orchestration] announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “Days of Our Lives.”
I’m sorry you missed her. Sarah was just discharged and she’s probably home already. She wanted to surprise you.
Discharged already?
Yeah. Well, listen, we monitor very closely last night. Her vitals were stable. And we thought the best medicine for her would be to go home and have Thanksgiving with her family.
[soft dramatic music]
Oh, that’s wonderful. [sighs] Kayla, you’ve made my day, my month, my year. [Kayla chuckles] I mean, I’m so grateful to you for everything you’ve done for Sarah.
Listen, you have to know how happy I am that I got to see her walking again. I mean, really. I am so grateful that she allowed this to happen. I’m just so proud to be part of it.
That was so kind of you to say. [sighs] Well, now I’m going home. I’m going to watch my daughter standing and walking and– oh, what a perfect Thanksgiving. Thank you so much, Kayla.
My pleasure.
Thank you for everything.
Truly.
Happy Thanksgiving. [chuckles softly] Oh! [Kayla sighs]
Oh, Sarah, I heard you were walking. But to actually see it? Oh, honey, I’m so happy.
Oh, no touch–hey.
What?
She’s still getting her land legs back.
Oh, OK. I’m sorry. Of course. Of course, you know? I think I kind of know how you feel, because I remember that rush of adrenaline that Cassandra got after she was injected with the begonia serum. Oh, honey. That wasn’t even real. [Bonnie laughs]
The–the begonia serum?
Oh, it’s something my character on “Body & Soul” had to get so she wouldn’t croak. And God, hearing that out loud sure sounds stupid. [laughs] No, because that’s TV and this is real life. This is a true miracle. Honey, I’m just so happy for you.
Thank you, Bonnie. Thank you so much.
OK, come on. Let’s get you upstairs. We have a daughter who’s been eagerly waiting for her mom to come back home and on her feet.
Mm. [Bonnie sighs]
I think I’m going to cry. But first, I’m going to make sure two more table settings are on the table for Thanksgiving dinner. [laughing] God, I love you guys. [laughing] OK, OK, I’m going.
Love you, too, Bonnie.
[peaceful music] [Sarah chuckles] I actually think Imight cry. Happy tears, of course.
I feel them coming on myself.
[chuckles] Yeah, I can see that. But before we get all weepy…
Mm?
[chuckles]
Hi, Steph.
Hey. I just wanted to stop by and say Happy Turkey Day.
Happy Turkey Day. Same to you. [clears throat]
I know you’ve been under the weather, so I brought you some of my mom’s turkey noodle soup. Figured it might go down a little bit easier than a full-on Thanksgiving Day feast.
My God. Thank you. That was very thoughtful.
I’m not interrupting anything, am I? I know Joy was with you yesterday.
Oh, yeah, yeah. She just happened to stop by while we were running lines and, you know, during the whole cupcakes taking the revenge on my insides situation. Anyway, she took off after I felt better.
Sounds like you’ve got a new friend.
Yeah, she definitely went above and beyond yesterday. But, um… you know, you don’t have to stick around here if you have your hands full. I know you got a couple PR nightmares, the poisoned cupcakes and leaked storylines and–
Yeah, it never ends. [Stephanie chuckles]
Mm.
But at least I have the long weekend to craft a response strategy.
Yeah.
And it’s good I’ll have the extra time, actually, because I was crazy enough to take on a new client yesterday.
Really? Who’s the lucky new client?
Your cousin, Philip.
[tense music]
Look, I’m sorry I haven’t been there to visit you, Vivian, but things have been very busy here on my end, what with the Titan situation. And– yes, I know you’re the one who forged the letter. And I promise, as soon as the dust settles, you’ll still get your cut of my inheritance. Look, I’m sorry you’re in prison. [knock at door] Gotta go. Someone’s at the door.
Happy Thanksgiving, honey.
Not so happy for me, actually.
So let me guess. You heard from Vivian?
How’d you know?
Because I did too. But I refused her call.
Well, I hate to break it to you, Mom. But you can’t refuse her calls forever. She’s a part of this whether we like it or not, and she’s still demanding her share.
Yeah, well, I think she’ll get what she deserves. Probably 25 to life.
Mom, she knows about the letter. She’s the one who forged the damn thing. If she blabs about my involvement, I’ll get 25 to life right alongside her.
Philip, I really wish you hadn’t gotten involved with this wretched woman again.
Yeah, so do I. But too late now. The only option is to string her along while we fight this out in court.
Yeah, well, OK. That’s going to be a very uphill battle, though, since Xander actually has Victor’s legitimate will on his side.
Yeah, I know. That’s why I brought in reinforcements.
Reinforcements? What reinforcements?
[suspenseful music]
Philip. Now, why would he need a PR rep?
Well, as you know, he’s contesting Victor’s will.
I am aware, yes.
And he wants to get his side of the story out before the court of public opinion can tell it for him.
And what’s his side of the story?
He believes that Titan is his birthright. And that had circumstances been different, he would have been named Victor’s heir.
Yeah, Steph, I know that will backwards and forwards. Uncle Vic, he made his wishes crystal clear. He expressly left full control of Titan to Xander.
I’m aware of that. However, what the general public doesn’t know is that Philip is in possession of a letter from Victor that explicitly states that had Philip not been presumed dead at the time the will was probated, Victor would have left Titan to him.
Yeah, but he didn’t.
So you’re team Xander on this?
Uh, I’m team sanity, Steph. Xander is the heir, period. End of story. But obviously, you took the job, so I hope you’re at least being handsomely rewarded for being team Philip.
Well, I didn’t take the job for the money, Alex.
Oh, OK, well, then why did you take it?
Because I care about him. And I want to help him get what he feels he deserves. I mean, he’s not just some random client that I took on. Philip and I, we have a history.
[mysterious music]
So tell me something. Did you think you’d be spending your Thanksgiving elbow-deep in canned peas and frozen turkey? [Justin chuckles]
I’m happy to be home. Especially because… well, I’ve been thinking a lot about Adrienne this morning. About how she and Joe and Duke, if he was around, they’d be one of the families who would be eating one of these meals.
Yeah, they probably would have been. And like every holiday, I’m thinking a lot about my sister today, too.
[soft upbeat music] And all the loved ones we’ve lost lately.
Yeah. It’s definitely going to be a hard Thanksgiving for Chad… thinking he had Abigail back and then finding out it was all some cruel hoax.
Yeah. Speaking of that, what’s your take on the Cat Greene situation? Legally speaking, I mean. I mean, why would they drop all the charges against her like that?
I’ve been wondering the same thing.
What’s even more baffling, Chad is the one who convinced EJ to set that woman free.
[phone beeps] [Justin sighs] What’s up?
Well, we may have to set one of these bags aside for me. It looks like there was a snag at dinner and, uh, Bonnie has been promoted to head chef.
Bonnie!
Oh, Maggie. Hi!
There you are. How wonderful is this Thanksgiving? [Maggie laughing] Sarah home and walking?
Oh, I know. It’s the best Thanksgiving ever. [Bonnie laughs] Why are you in an apron?
Oh, uh… Cook chowed down on my tainted cupcake that I stupidly left out. And now, he’s in bed with a bucket.
Oh, dear.
But don’t worry. I’ve got everything under control.
Oh.
I must admit I have always wanted to make a turkey slathered in butter and deep fried in peanut oil. [Bonnie giggles]
Oh, you know what, Bonnie? You know you’re supposed to cook that outside. With–with careful supervision.
Well, y-yeah.
Yeah.
So?
[sniffs] Oh, no. Do you smell something burning?
[tense music]
[alarm blaring]
Uh-oh.
[tense music fading]
Well, as soon as our sweet little Victoria wakes up, I am going to follow her all around this house.
Well, she will love that.
Yeah. I’m going to love it more. You know… baby, I know that I would’ve had a really good life. I do, if this cure didn’t come around or if it didn’t work, because I’m really lucky. I have you and I have Victoria and my mom and all of our friends. Just blessings all around. But still, it was a pretty great unexpected gift. Wasn’t it?
[chuckling] Yeah. For me as well. And for all of us that love you.
And to think… Dr. Ralph is the one that made it happen.
Yeah, that mad scientist changed our lives forever, And for the better.
That he did. I really owe him. Words I never thought I would say. [Xander chuckles] And of course, Brady. We owe him a lot… since he convinced Kristen to hand over the serum.
Yeah, I mean, that wasn’t an easy feat.
Mm-mm.
But even if he hadn’t pulled it off and… even if Philip hadn’t showed up to cause trouble, I was more than ready to give up Titan to get my hands on that serum.
I know you were.
But now that you’re all better…
Mm-hmm.
There’s no way in hell I’m going to do that.
Do you think Philip will still go after Titan?
I have no doubt. Yeah, that spoiled little screwup will stop at nothing to take what’s rightfully mine. And mark my words, he will come to regret it.
[tense music]
A PR strategy. That’s a good idea.
Stroke of genius, actually. Because if I get the public on my side before we go to court, I’m much more likely to have a sympathetic judge and/or jury.
OK. I see the angle. Prodigal son returns versus interloper with a criminal record. I don’t know. At the very least, Andrew will probably have to make a deal.
Oh, I’m not interested in a deal, Mom. I’m the rightful heir to the Kiriakis fortune. Titan was always meant to be mine. And it will be.
I hope so. I do. But I do have a little concern with your grand plan.
What’s that?
Your history. With Stephanie Johnson.
[suspenseful music]
What do you mean you and Philip have history?
Yeah. Years ago, we were engaged.
You were engaged, Steph? Yeah, I didn’t know about this.
Well, you weren’t living in Salem at the time. And you and Phillip were never close.
Uh, OK. You and I were close. You never even mentioned it.
Well, maybe I should have.
Uh, maybe. Yeah.
But it didn’t seem important for me to share because he wasn’t around when you and I were dating.
Right. OK. I get that. Not really, but anyway, I’m assuming it was you who came to your senses about calling off that engagement.
He was a little more complicated than that.
Oh, my–
In a nutshell, basically, I forced him to choose between me and his father.
What, and instead he chose his father?
You would have done the same thing too, Alex, had you been in that position.
Why? Why? Why would I have done that? I revered Uncle Vic as well, especially when I thought that I was his son. But– you know, I’m team sanity right here. Team Sanity, hence why I’m not out of my mind.
Well, I don’t think Philip is out of his mind. I think he’s a decent guy. And I admit that I have regrets about the way that I handled things.
What are you saying, Steph? Are you trying to get back with this guy?
[Stephanie scoffs]
Maggie, I’m so sorry. I could have burned the whole house down.
Yeah, but you didn’t. It was–it was– it was just a small fire.
[scoffs] Maggie, I–look. As soon as the smoke clears, I will fix everything. I promise. I mean, so we won’t have a crispy, juicy bird. So what? You know, I’ll put out the stuffing and the mashed potatoes and the baked potatoes and the sweet potatoes with–
And you know what, Bonnie? I think you should forget about cooking and just relax and enjoy the holiday.
Oh, OK. You don’t– you don’t trust me.
Well, no–
No, really, it’s OK. I don’t trust myself. But in my defense, you know, I never cooked in such a fancy kitchen before, and… I really thought a deep fryer the size of Texas would do the job.
It’s OK. In fact, it’s going to be– it’s OK. It’s perfect. It’s going to be perfect. My daughter’s home, she’s walking, and we’re all together.
You’re right. [Maggie chuckles] That’s what’s important.
Yeah.
Sarah got her miracle. And we are spending the day with the people we love. [both chuckle] So to hell with turkey! We got each other!
Yes, we do. I do. And that’s all we need to have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Ah, so sorry I’m late. Where’s all the stuff?
Well, it’s all packed and loaded in the van, baby.
Already?
Yeah. I’m going to head over to Saint Luke’s right now.
[phone ringing]
Nice.
Oh, this is Bonnie. I better take it.
Better.
Hey, honey. What’s up? [clears throat]
Uh, hey, Justin. Um… about dinner, there’s been an incident.
An incident with dinner?
I’ll explain later. But I’m just calling because I was hoping maybe you could pick up some takeout turkey from the pub, please?
Takeout. I don’t think they’re serving takeout at the pub today. But tell you what. I’ll pick up some pizza.
Pizza? Honey, on Thanksgiving?
I know it’s not traditional, but some families do.
Justin. I didn’t mean to interrupt, but forget about the pizza, OK? That would be sacrilege. Just invite everybody here to join us.
[soft upbeat music]
Xander… please tell me that you’re not going to go after Philip the way you did Brady.
No, no, no. I–[sighs] I’ve learned my lesson. I was wrong about Brady and I apologized to him. And surprisingly, he and I are on pretty good terms now. And as for Philip, well, my battle with him will be fought in court. And only in court.
Good. With Justin’s help, I hope?
Definitely.
OK. I’m not saying it won’t get messy, but what family dispute doesn’t? But I will be cool, calm, and collected because now… my beautiful wife’s fate is no longer directly tied to my company’s, which can only help me in court.
Good. I’m glad.
But I don’t want you to worry about any of this. OK? All that matters is that you’re home and well on the road to recovery. All that other stuff…
[soft dramatic music] Doesn’t matter. Because I have everything I need right here.
I love you.
Oh, I love you too.
Do you smell smoke?
[sniffs] No, I don’t. But I do see a smoking hot wife right in front of me.
Mm, you flirt. [laughter]
Look, Stephanie was a little reluctant at first to take me on as a client, but she eventually agreed our past wouldn’t be a problem.
What if it is?
Well, why would it? For one thing, it was forever ago.
Philip, what about this whole thing that came down with Chloe?
And here it comes.
Stop! You know it’s a concern. The only reason you weren’t in Victor’s will is because of your obsession with Chloe.
Mom, Chloe and I are through. That part of my life is over. We took a stab at it but couldn’t get back what we once had.
OK, so then you’re just ripe for the pickings.
Would you stop? Stephanie is not interested in me, Mom.
No, I know she’s not! She’s interested in Alex. That’s why they split up, because she needed to keep her job. But the feelings are still there. So if you get in the middle of that, how do I know that he’s not going to end up covered in blood and your leg will be floating down Salem River?
Oh, my God. Mom!
Philip… you let me believe that you were dead. Do you know how–[sighs] Do you know how that made me feel? Do you know what that did to me? I am never, ever going to let that happen again. Do you hear me?
Yes, I hear you. And it won’t happen again. I was out of my head at the time, as you may recall, but I’m better now. Did a whole lot of therapy and I consider myself a changed man. Sane and level-headed. And I promise you, Stephanie and I are not getting back together.
Back together? No. I was just saying that Philip is a friend. And therefore, I want to help him.
Mm.
Especially since I do believe that he’s entitled to dispute his father’s will.
Mm.
After all, they were very close.
Yeah, which is why your relationship ended, from what you told me. But now, the old man’s out of the way.
OK. Alex, I told you. Philip and I are ancient history.
OK.
And my family eats Thanksgiving dinner early, so I should go.
OK. Yeah. Mine does, too, by the way. So maybe I should get going too.
Well, Happy Thanksgiving. And I’m glad you’re feeling better.
Thank you. Thank you for the soup. I’ll return the container tomorrow.
No, don’t. Don’t worry about it. Just recycle it when you’re done.
[somber music]
All right, Steph. I’ll recycle it. Well, thank you again. And maybe I will, yeah, see you sometime.
Yeah. Sometime.
OK.
[chuckles] That’s very kind of you, Kayla. But–
No, no, no. This is not about being kind. It’ll be more fun for us, too, right?
Yeah.
So don’t you dare order pizza or anything else, OK? This is where you’re having turkey dinner.
Are you sure it’s not an imposition?
No, no. Just stop. No, it’s not. Really, the more the merrier. OK? You’re family. And the Bradys always love a full house of loved ones, especially on Thanksgiving.
OK, well, thank you.
Mm.
All right, I’ll head over to Saint Luke’s and be back shortly.
OK. Well, make sure you bring your appetite.
Oh, I will, I will.
OK?
Hey, good work today, dimples. [laughter]
You too, Steve.
[soft upbeat music] [Kayla sighs]
Baby, it is going to be a goodThanksgiving,
I think definitely. A little more crowded than usual. But like I said, I think even more fun.
Yeah. I just want to tell you… I am so thankful for you.
Same here.
Today, every single day of the year.
Agreed. I just wish our kids could be here with us.
Oh, Stephanie will be here soon, right?
Right. But I wonder if we’ll even hear from Tripp and Wendy and Joey. I mean, Joey’s got to have jet lag from his trip to Hong Kong. And then there’s the time difference. And–
OK, OK, OK. But I’m sure we’re going to hear from them. I know they must be missing home as much as we’re missing them. Right?
I would imagine so. You know, speaking of missing people just reminds me of all the Thanksgivings that I had without you.
Oh, come on, baby. Don’t bring that up now. It’s never going to happen again. I am never going to be apart from you ever again.
Better not.
I love you so much.
I love you more.
Mm.
[Steve sighs]
Oh, Maggie.
Yeah.
Good news. We’re not having pizza. [chuckles]
Pizza?
Oh, yes. See, it was Justin’s idea. Kind of a desperate measure. But don’t worry, I talked him out of it. And Kayla, bless her sweet heart, invited us all to join her family for Thanksgiving at the pub.
Oh, Kayla. That was so nice of her. But we’ve got to take something. Of course.
Well, but everything we have is either raw or burned. [Maggie sighs]
Uh, how about wine? I mean not for me, obviously, but for some people who would enjoy it?
[laughing] Oh, yeah. Actually, that’s a good idea.
Sure, yeah.
In fact, I’ll go to the wine cellar, I’ll pick out a nice bottle, and then I’ll tell Sarah and Xander we’re having Thanksgiving dinner at the Brady Pub! [Bonnie laughs]
Bonnie! Bonnie, maybe, um… maybe you should give them a few minutes… [claps hands gently] Alone. Hmm? [both smooching]
[soft dramatic music]
Oh, Sarah, I’m a little worried maybe we– maybe we shouldn’t.
I know we should.
Are you sure that you’re, you know, ready?
Yes. I talked to Kayla. She gave me the all-clear, so full steam ahead, soldier.
You talked to–
My doctor, yes. [whispers] And now it’s time for you to stop talking.
I can’t. [Sarah chuckles]
[soft dramatic music]
So you and Stephanie are going to keep it strictly professional?
Yes, Mom. Professional and platonic. And please don’t worry. OK? We’ll get through this. And I’ll get what I deserve.
I hope you’re right.
I know I am.
OK, Well, I should get back to the pub, which is actually the reason I came over here. I wanted to know if you’d like to join us. I mean, if you don’t have any other plans.
No, I don’t. But I assumed I wouldn’t be welcome at Maggie’s house. For obvious reasons.
Well, you are always welcome at ours. OK? Let’s go.
[soft dramatic music]
[Xanders sighs]
You know…
Mm-hmm?
Victoria is still asleep. And dinner won’t be for at least a half hour yet, so.
I like the way you think. [knock at door] Um… who is it?
Um, it’s me. Um, sorry. May I–I–
Oh, yeah, uh–[laughs] [Xander sighs] Come in!
Um, well, I didn’t mean to disturb you. Listen, we just have a little mishap with dinner.
I told you I smelled smoke.
Well, it was a minor fire and all it destroyed was tonight’s turkey dinner. So we’re all going to go over to the Brady Pub. Kayla asked us to join her. And I don’t know. You feel up to it?
[soft dramatic music]
Uh, let–let– let me rest and see how I’m feeling.
OK. Well, do you want me to stay behind?
No, no, no, no, no. No, no, go enjoy your dinner, and I will be in touch.
OK. Um, sounds good. Call me if you need anything. I’m glad you’re home, honey. I love you.
I love you, too, Mama. Oh, Happy Thanksgiving! [chuckles]
Same to you.
Mm. [both smooching]
There’s my man.
Hey, Bonnie.
Hey. Hey, honey.
Hi.
Mwah. [clears throat] I think maybe you should carry this because–easy– with my luck today, it will end up shattered between here and the door.
Hey, there. Happy Thanksgiving,
Alex, happy Thanksgiving.
Yay, hi.
What’s going on?
Mwah. Hey, sweetheart.
I’m so glad you felt up to coming.
Yeah, I finally started to get my appetite back. Thank you for letting me know about the change of venue. What happened?
[muttering] What happened, I ruined dinner at home.
Oh, that’s not good. [Bonnie clears throat]
It turns out it was a blessing in disguise. Because I think breaking bread with our loved ones and friends here at the Brady Pub is the absolute best way to celebrate the spirit of the day. [Bonnie chuckles]
Mm.
It’s also a great way to wash our minds of that old creepy Constantine.
Ah, yes. That too. [Bonnie chuckles] [smooch] Alex, before we join the rest, I do want to say that I know how hard it’s been for you to adjust to not being the Kiriakis heir. But I am happy as hell to have my son back. [Alex sighs]
I’m happy to beback, Dad. I’m grateful you put up with me all this past year.
Well, I know you’re having a rough time. And I think that a part of me, in spite of the evidence to the contrary, knew that you were my son. So of course I was going to put up with you. I love you. Always have, always will.
I love you too, Pop. [Justin chuckles] [Justin sighs]
[tender music]
Love you, Joey. Love you, Tripp.
Happy Thanksgiving, boys.
Say hi to Wendy and her parents. Give them our best, OK?
Yeah, we’ll talk soon. OK?
Oh, I miss those guys.
So do I. Hey, but they look happy, right?
They look so happy.
We’re gonna get ’em back here real soon.
Right.
You wait and see.
Yeah.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Oh, hi.
Philip.
Hey. I’m kind of crashing the Brady family meal here. Hope you don’t mind.
Oh, no. It’s great. I told Justin the more the merrier, so all are welcome.
Justin.
Hey. [door closes]
Alex, hey. Are you–
I am here for the Brady Pub Thanksgiving feast. Tagging along with Dad and Bonnie.
Hey, cuz. Long time.
[tense music]
Oh, hey, Maggie.
Hi, you two.
Hi–sorry.
Oh, hi, Steve.
Hello, Maggie.
Oh, Kayla, thank you so much for inviting the Kiriakis clan to join you. That was so gracious of you.
No, it’s our pleasure. We are happy to have you here. Listen, I hope that Sarah is settling in well. Do you think that she and Xander will come join us?
Um, she’s settling in very well, thank you. But I’m not sure that she and Xander are going to make it.
That’s OK. We have enough food if they show up. But listen, why don’t you join us here? Go on.
Oh, thank you, thank you. Oh, Steve, thank you very much.
I didn’t know you’d be here.
I wasn’t about to ruin the Kiriakis family dinner by showing up, but–[sighs] Here we all are.
Yeah. Unfortunately.
Alex.
Mm. Not that you care, obviously, but Xander’s been through hell this year, as we all have. I took his inheritance from him, though not on purpose, unlike you. And then there was Sarah’s accident caused by his mother. Now, the last thing this guy needs right now is you showing up from the dead trying to steal what’s rightfully his.
Mm, wouldn’t say rightfully.
Well, you had your chance, cuz. You spent a whole long time, a whole lifetime being the star son and you even had your shot at running the family business. Now, I’m sure you made out quite well convalescing God knows where. But maybe you could leave this alone. Can you do that, Philip? Can you let this go?
No, I can’t.
[soft dramatic music]
Sarah. My God, you’re walking. The serum worked.
Yeah, the serum worked, damn it. Sarah’s cured. No thanks to you. In spite of you, in fact.
Baby. Let’s go say hi to everyone. [Xander sighs]
[indistinct chatter]
Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. [indistinct chatter] [glass clinking]
Yeah. [clears throat] Excuse me, folks. Before we break bread, I’d like to say a little prayer of thanksgiving. Dear Lord, we have so much to thank You for in this season of gratitude. This food, the warmth, our health, our good fortune. But most importantly, love. And though we are missing our loved ones that we’ve lost this year or the ones that are far away, they’re right here with us in our hearts. Or my if brother, Roman Brady, they’re upstairs. [chuckles] We’re all so glad that he’s on the mend.
[tender music] And we are so grateful that Sarah is up on her feet again.
Yay, yay. [soft cheers and applause]
It is really, truly, a miracle. And she’s assured me that she’s going to be back to work soon, so I am very thankful for that. [all chuckle]
All right.
Yay.
Yay.
Yay.
And as always, this year has had its highs and lows. But today is definitely a highlight. Having our friends, the Kiriakises, join us for this meal is incredible. And it’s heartwarming seeing our friends and family celebrating together in spite of our differences.
Amen.
Yeah. all: Amen.
Hear, hear.
Yes.
And I’d like to say something. [clears throat] If I might. I want to thank the Bradys for their generous hospitality. I didn’t expect to be spending Thanksgiving with my Kiriakis family, but… I am so glad that I am. So I’d like to echo what Kayla said. Even though we have our differences, we’re always going to be family.
I’m so glad you said that, Philip.
And I hope we’ll be able to break bread together in peace and harmony. Even though I’ve kicked Xander here to the curb and replaced him as the head of Titan.
[tense dramatic music]
And with that said… Happy Thanksgiving to all.
