Good. Thank you. The doctors are hopeful for a speedy recovery. I&#8217;m sorry I was so late. It&#8217;s just&#8211;I had to step out of the room while they performed the procedure.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, you waited there alone the whole time?<\/p>\n<p>No. Actually, I wasn&#8217;t alone. Nicole was there.<\/p>\n<p>[solemn music]<\/p>\n<p>Hold on, let me write that account number down.<\/p>\n<p>No, no, no, no, don&#8217;t write on that!<\/p>\n<p>[doorbell rings]<\/p>\n<p>Theresa? I thought it would take you a week to pack.<\/p>\n<p>[suspenseful music]<\/p>\n<p>Brady! Oh, my goodness!<\/p>\n<p>Hi.<\/p>\n<p>[laughs]<\/p>\n<p>I just wanted to&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Oh!<\/p>\n<p>Come see you. Check up on you, see how you&#8217;re doing.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, how sweet of you to do this.<\/p>\n<p>Well, I heard a rumor.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah?<\/p>\n<p>That Victor&#8217;s friend, Konstantine Meleounis, he was staying here. Is that true?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, he is. And we had the most wonderful day.<\/p>\n<p>Really?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, I took him on a little tour of Salem. And when we got back here, he cooked this amazing meal-<\/p>\n<p>all Greek delicacies.<\/p>\n<p>Mm? Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>But sadly, he is leaving tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>Oh. Is he upstairs packing, or?<\/p>\n<p>No, he went back to town to walk off his dinner. He loves it here in Salem. He wanted to take in some more sights. Hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Hm!<\/p>\n<p>[solemn music]<\/p>\n<p>[sighs]<\/p>\n<p>[knocking on door] Feldman&#8217;s here already?<\/p>\n<p>Surprise!<\/p>\n<p>Damn it! Konstantine, I told you to stay put in Greece until you heard from me. What the hell are you doing here?<\/p>\n<p>Let me in, and I&#8217;ll tell you. After all, we don&#8217;t want anybody knowing that we are friends now, do we?<\/p>\n<p>[suspenseful music]<\/p>\n<p>[soft orchestration] announcer Like sands through the hourglass, so are the &#8220;Days of Our Lives.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Hm. I got to admit, I was surprised to hear that one of Victor&#8217;s friends from the old country just popped in without notice. You weren&#8217;t expecting him, right?<\/p>\n<p>No, not at all.<\/p>\n<p>Well, he certainly seemed to have brightened your day a little bit.<\/p>\n<p>Well, he has. I mean, mainly because of his connection to my precious husband. I mean, through Konstantine&#8217;s stories and that photo album, I&#8217;ve gotten to see a handsome young Victor, who&#8217;s got his whole life ahead of him. Hmm.<\/p>\n<p>I guess it&#8217;s nice to see you smiling again.<\/p>\n<p>Aw. Aw. Well, that&#8217;s thanks to Konstantine. Do you know that he came all this way just to lift my spirits?<\/p>\n<p>[ominous music]<\/p>\n<p>Hm!<\/p>\n<p>What exactly are you doing here?<\/p>\n<p>What kind of friend would I be to the late lamented Victor Kiriakis if I didn&#8217;t pay a condolence call on his widow?<\/p>\n<p>You came here to see Maggie?<\/p>\n<p>I brought her an old photo album filled with pictures of a young Victor. I made her a lovely dinner. It&#8217;s the least I can do after all. But I also came to catch up with my new friend Theresa. Tell me, dear, are you still trying to get your hooks into Victor&#8217;s long-lost son?<\/p>\n<p>Who did you think I was when you were opening the door?<\/p>\n<p>Now why is that any of your business?<\/p>\n<p>Just curious.<\/p>\n<p>What can I do for you, Xander?<\/p>\n<p>Not much, cousin. Just resign as CEO of Titan and give Maggie her job back immediately.<\/p>\n<p>[dramatic music]<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll have to call you-<\/p>\n<p>call you back. Did I do something wrong?<\/p>\n<p>No. No. I&#8217;m sorry. It&#8217;s just that this isn&#8217;t scrap paper.<\/p>\n<p>Well, what&#8217;s in it?<\/p>\n<p>Just everything we need to know about our baby&#8217;s genetic makeup, all in one document.<\/p>\n<p>You got them to print you out another one?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. After I lost the last copy. But if our baby gets sick, this could prove to be helpful.<\/p>\n<p>True. But there&#8217;s another reason to protect this like the precious document it is. It names me as the father of our child. And given that I absolutely adore the mother of our child, it makes me ecstatically happy.<\/p>\n<p>Hm?<\/p>\n<p>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Me too.<\/p>\n<p>Mmm? Good.<\/p>\n<p>[laughs]<\/p>\n<p>Nicole has a funny way of just showing up wherever you seem to be, doesn&#8217;t she?<\/p>\n<p>Sloan.<\/p>\n<p>No, it&#8217;s just-<\/p>\n<p>it&#8217;s just that it&#8217;s weirdly coincidental. What was she doing at the hospital, anyway? Is the baby OK? Everything&#8217;s-<\/p>\n<p>Yes, the baby is fine. She was just refilling a prescription. I&#8217;m sorry. I&#8217;m sorry. It&#8217;s just that I should have never mentioned her. Because every time I mention Nicole&#8217;s name, it just upsets you.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. It seems it does. That&#8217;s-<\/p>\n<p>because I&#8217;ll admit I&#8217;m envious that she&#8217;s pregnant. That she can carry a baby to term.<\/p>\n<p>Sloan. As we discussed before, we&#8217;re about to be parents. And like I told you, just like I told Nicole before she picked up her baby&#8217;s DNA report, that I don&#8217;t need to pass along my genes to a child. I just need to love-<\/p>\n<p>Wait, what did you just say? Nicole picked up her baby&#8217;s DNA report? You said she was there to pick up a prescription.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, she did, but she asked the nurse if she could get another copy of the original baby&#8217;s genetics because she lost the original.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, my God.<\/p>\n<p>[suspenseful music]<\/p>\n<p>Hey. Are you OK? I mean, you&#8217;re starting to look pale.<\/p>\n<p>Am I?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, by the way you reacted. Why do you even care about the genetic report in Nicole and EJ&#8217;s baby?<\/p>\n<p>Oh, I&#8211;I don&#8217;t. I don&#8217;t care. I just&#8211;I just thought that Nicole would be, you know, more careful with something that&#8217;s so important about her baby. I just&#8211;I hope that she takes everything a little bit more seriously with the rest of the pregnancy, that&#8217;s all. Um&#8230; Oh, I got a text. I&#8211;I have to go. It&#8217;s a client. He just got arrested. So now I got to go get him a bail hearing and-<\/p>\n<p>Oh, my God, is it that big of an emergency? I mean, like right now?<\/p>\n<p>Yes, right now. We&#8217;re on the clock. And if I don&#8217;t go right now, then he&#8217;s going to have to spend the night in jail. And that just would not be a good thing.<\/p>\n<p>All right. Do you need a-<\/p>\n<p>do you need a ride?<\/p>\n<p>No, I don&#8217;t even know how long I&#8217;m going to be there, how long it&#8217;s going to take. But I&#8217;ll call you, OK? Ah, just think, think, think, think, think, think, think, think!<\/p>\n<p>[inhales] OK. OK. I still have the copy of the report that shows that EJ&#8217;s the father. And then the envelope couldn&#8217;t have been that different that they give Nicole. If I just-<\/p>\n<p>I get there. I swap the envelopes. I just pray to God they haven&#8217;t opened it.<\/p>\n<p>Now why don&#8217;t I keep this with my documents in the wall safe?<\/p>\n<p>Good plan.<\/p>\n<p>Also, sorry about writing numbers on it before you stopped me.<\/p>\n<p>One, two-<\/p>\n<p>And baby makes three.<\/p>\n<p>Aw.<\/p>\n<p>Would you mind if I took a gander at this before we lock it away?<\/p>\n<p>As if you haven&#8217;t memorized everything in it anyway.<\/p>\n<p>Well, that may be true, but I wouldn&#8217;t mind reading over it again. Can&#8217;t have too much information when our new child is concerned.<\/p>\n<p>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>[phone ringing]<\/p>\n<p>Oh.<\/p>\n<p>Excuse me.<\/p>\n<p>[laughs]<\/p>\n<p>Oh, I forgot to call that investor back. Ahh, I need to-<\/p>\n<p>I need to take this.<\/p>\n<p>Of course.<\/p>\n<p>EJ DiMera.<\/p>\n<p>[ominous music]<\/p>\n<p>Hmm.<\/p>\n<p>[laughs]<\/p>\n<p>Well, it&#8217;s obvious that Victor and Konstantine shared a lot of memories together.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>But Granddad never mentioned him to you, did he?<\/p>\n<p>No. I haven&#8217;t-<\/p>\n<p>not that I recall, no. But you know your grandfather. He didn&#8217;t like to deal with the past. But it&#8217;s clear that there was a real bond between them. I mean, it went back to when they were kids. Did you know that Victor loaned Konstantine money to open his own restaurant?<\/p>\n<p>[laughs] Yeah, I&#8217;m sure with a hefty interest rate, right?<\/p>\n<p>No, he forgave the loan. And he wouldn&#8217;t even accept a single payment, or even free meals.<\/p>\n<p>OK. That doesn&#8217;t sound like Victor.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, tell me about it. But I think that shows how important Konstantine was to him. I mean, you know, after so many years of loving that man, Victor was always so unpredictable.<\/p>\n<p>I think we can both agree on that.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>But I&#8217;ll tell you what this latest revelation, Maggie. It certainly seemed out of character for him.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, you mean about the fact that Alex was his son?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. That&#8217;s exactly what I mean. And honestly, I still can&#8217;t believe that he kept that a secret from all of us, for all these years.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;re wasting your time, Xander. See, the job is mine. Get it? If my dad couldn&#8217;t talk me into giving it over to Maggie-<\/p>\n<p>Your dad? Which&#8211;which dad?<\/p>\n<p>Go to hell.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, that was a silly question because obviously, you&#8217;re talking about your fake dad, the one that&#8217;s still around. But let&#8217;s talk about what your biological father wanted-<\/p>\n<p>your biological father who did not name you CEO in his will. So don&#8217;t you think you should honor his wishes? I mean, if I were his son, that&#8217;s-<\/p>\n<p>that&#8217;s what I&#8217;d do.<\/p>\n<p>[suspenseful music]<\/p>\n<p>Well, in answer to your question, exhibit A, my packed suitcases. I&#8217;m going from here straight to Alex&#8217;s apartment.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;re moving in with him?<\/p>\n<p>You catch on quick, huh?<\/p>\n<p>And you certainly don&#8217;t waste any time, do you?<\/p>\n<p>From what I remember, neither do you.<\/p>\n<p>Hmm.<\/p>\n<p>[clicks tongue] Victor, Victor, Victor. Leave it to you to blow up everything in your last will and testament.<\/p>\n<p>[knocking]<\/p>\n<p>Room service!<\/p>\n<p>[dramatic music]<\/p>\n<p>Who are you? You don&#8217;t work for the hotel.<\/p>\n<p>Where is it? There it is!<\/p>\n<p>Hey! What are you doing? Give me that!<\/p>\n<p>What the hell? I&#8217;m supposed to be in this will! Victor left me nothing?<\/p>\n<p>Not your favorite day, was it?<\/p>\n<p>It got better as the day went on as I recall-<\/p>\n<p>for both of us.<\/p>\n<p>This was a lovely surprise.<\/p>\n<p>Well, thank you. I was driving by. I saw your lights on. I thought, oh, I&#8217;ll just pop in and see you.<\/p>\n<p>[laughs] I&#8217;m glad you did. How is everything going?<\/p>\n<p>Oh, fine. Fine, except for worrying night and day about-<\/p>\n<p>about Belle. Have you spoken to her?<\/p>\n<p>Recently? No, I haven&#8217;t. How&#8217;s she doing?<\/p>\n<p>Well, to hear Belle tell it, she&#8217;s got everything under control.<\/p>\n<p>Only after her husband left the country and went into rehab.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. I&#8217;ve been trying to spend some time with her, but, you know, who wants her mother hovering all the time? I thought maybe you could check on her.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, I can. I&#8217;m happy to help.<\/p>\n<p>Good. And I&#8217;m sorry, if you and Sloan are in the-<\/p>\n<p>where&#8217;s Sloan?<\/p>\n<p>Yes, we&#8217;ll touch base again at the end of the week. Good night. Well, now that I have that all sorted, shall we take another look at this report again?<\/p>\n<p>Yes. But first, I&#8217;m going to check on Holly and see if she needs any help with her homework.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, I&#8217;ll get started on mine.<\/p>\n<p>[laughs] And let me know if you find anything new and surprising.<\/p>\n<p>[laughs]<\/p>\n<p>[blows kiss]<\/p>\n<p>[ominous music]<\/p>\n<p>[sighs] Well, Alex certainly didn&#8217;t waste any time, did he? Stepping into the role of Victor&#8217;s son.<\/p>\n<p>Mm-hmm, he certainly staked out his claim at Titan.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, he also quit Basic Black without any notice whatsoever. I heard he offered you a position in the company.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, he did. I turned him down, obviously. Alex and I are like oil and water. I mean, it&#8217;s somewhat surprising considering how well his father and I got along.<\/p>\n<p>[gentle music] Hm.<\/p>\n<p>I appreciate your concern. Actually, I don&#8217;t. Because you&#8217;re not Victor&#8217;s son. That would be me. That is why my take on what he wanted is the only one that counts.<\/p>\n<p>He did not want you running this company, Alex.<\/p>\n<p>Then why did he give me controlling interest?<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps so you could show some character, not run his widow out.<\/p>\n<p>OK. Yeah, yeah. First of all, when it comes to challenging character issues, you&#8217;re a joke. Second of all, I happen to have, A, the character to be staying in this very modest apartment while I&#8217;m allowing Maggie to run the Kiriakis mansion-<\/p>\n<p>which I own&#8211;as she sees fit.<\/p>\n<p>Wow, what a guy.<\/p>\n<p>[laughs] What do you want? What do you&#8211;you&#8217;re here to beg for a job?<\/p>\n<p>Oh, no, the last thing I want from you is a job, Alex. I&#8217;m just here because I still can&#8217;t believe this insanity. Oh, so Victor tore up his old will and what? Wrote a new one that cut the rest of us out just to give you half? You tell me, why the hell does that make any sense?<\/p>\n<p>[suspenseful music]<\/p>\n<p>For the record, I was interested in Alex before I met you and before I read a single word of Victor&#8217;s will.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps. But after you got a sneak peek, you were like a heat-seeking missile.<\/p>\n<p>Well, I didn&#8217;t want to take any chances. And then when Alex and Brady came back, I purposely asked Brady if I could stay with him. And as expected, he turned me down. He was harsh, cruel, actually. And I let it all play out right in front of Alex.<\/p>\n<p>You knew he&#8217;d take pity. Well played.<\/p>\n<p>Well, it helps when you know the man is about to inherit a fortune, and he doesn&#8217;t even have a clue.<\/p>\n<p>Hm. My father helped give that man a start. Without that seed money, there never would have been Titan. Victor would never have amassed his fortune. I&#8217;m the one who talked him into writing a new will-<\/p>\n<p>and still, he left me out of it.<\/p>\n<p>Are you done ranting? Or do I have to call security to haul you out of here?<\/p>\n<p>Depends. Do you want your friends Alex and Brady to know you&#8217;ve been reading Victor&#8217;s will?<\/p>\n<p>Who the hell are you, anyway?<\/p>\n<p>I am Konstantine Meleounis.<\/p>\n<p>You are the one who&#8217;s supposed to help find Victor&#8217;s letter.<\/p>\n<p>Alex and Brady are on what you Americans might call a wild goose chase, but not for much longer.<\/p>\n<p>How did you know to come here? How did you know the will was here?<\/p>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t. I had a man watch the place. And when the head of the ISA showed up with a battered briefcase, I made an educated guess. I needed to just how generous my old friend decided to be.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, well, it turns out he wasn&#8217;t really very generous with anyone, was he? Except for his wife and his son.<\/p>\n<p>[scoffs] A son he didn&#8217;t care enough about to even acknowledge when he was alive. And who is this young man, anyway? And where is this so-called letter that explains everything?<\/p>\n<p>I have no idea.<\/p>\n<p>[suspenseful music]<\/p>\n<p>This must be it, right? The one on top? And it hasn&#8217;t even been opened yet. Why don&#8217;t we read it together-<\/p>\n<p>shall we?<\/p>\n<p>[gasps]<\/p>\n<p>Victor&#8217;s long lost son is-<\/p>\n<p>Xander Cook?<\/p>\n<p>Mm. Never saw that coming.<\/p>\n<p>Nor did I. But I do know that Victor had an affair with his brother Titus&#8217;s wife. And the product of that affair was-<\/p>\n<p>Xander? This can&#8217;t be right. Xander is Victor&#8217;s son?<\/p>\n<p>Apparently so.<\/p>\n<p>Oh. And Victor left him half of everything? I mean, do you even understand what a piece of garbage this man is?<\/p>\n<p>I understand that quite well. My father did business with him. Papa was getting older. His judgment had slipped. And Xander robbed that old man blind. And now this criminal, he&#8217;s a gazillionaire and I get nothing? Oxi!<\/p>\n<p>I mean, just the irony that there&#8217;s two Alexanders in this family and this waste of space is the one who&#8217;s going to get the huge payday. Why couldn&#8217;t it have been the handsome, charming Alex?<\/p>\n<p>What?<\/p>\n<p>Maybe it still could be.<\/p>\n<p>It is a pity that your friend Alex will never know what we have done for him.<\/p>\n<p>Xander, if you want to know why Victor waited until his last will and testament to reveal that I&#8217;m his son, hire a psychic. I moved on.<\/p>\n<p>Well, that&#8217;s easy to do when you&#8217;re on the receiving end of a fortune.<\/p>\n<p>Yes. Yes. Yes. I have the money. I have the job. I also just found out that the man that I thought was my father my whole life isn&#8217;t really my father.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, give me a break, Alex. You know your place in the family is barely changed at all. You&#8217;ve always been loved and accepted, unlike me. I mean, I&#8217;ve always been treated like the black sheep, like I&#8217;m barely even qualified to landscape the ground.<\/p>\n<p>Aw, poor you.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, poor me. Do you have any idea what I&#8217;d have done to have Victor acknowledge me the way he finally acknowledged you? No, he always treated me like I was an outsider, like-<\/p>\n<p>and worse, I was an embarrassment. So you&#8217;ll excuse me if I don&#8217;t feel sorry for you, Alex. As far as I&#8217;m concerned, you are one lucky bastard.<\/p>\n<p>Sloan, she just left. She had to go deal with a client&#8217;s bail situation.<\/p>\n<p>Oh. At this time of night?<\/p>\n<p>Life of a criminal lawyer. I know she&#8217;ll be sorry she missed you.<\/p>\n<p>Well, no, she won&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>[laughs] She&#8217;s uncomfortable around me.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe because she knows that you don&#8217;t like her?<\/p>\n<p>No, I just don&#8217;t know her all that well.<\/p>\n<p>Mom, maybe we can fix that. I know a lot of people don&#8217;t really like Sloan. But I know her better than anyone. She&#8217;s got a big heart, and she makes me happy.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s all I care about. So then she&#8217;s fine with me.<\/p>\n<p>[laughs]<\/p>\n<p>[ominous music]<\/p>\n<p>[hums]<\/p>\n<p>[doorbell ringing]<\/p>\n<p>Harold? Harold!<\/p>\n<p>[sighs] I suppose even the help are allowed a dinner break.<\/p>\n<p>[dramatic music]<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t tell you how good it is to see you optimistic about the future. And if that&#8217;s because of Sloan, then I am grateful.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d also love to have a beautiful little grandbaby.<\/p>\n<p>[laughs]<\/p>\n<p>You know? And you deserve this. You deserve to have someone love you who is true and loyal. And that-<\/p>\n<p>that seems to be Sloan. You also deserve to have a child.<\/p>\n<p>[gentle music]<\/p>\n<p>I love you.<\/p>\n<p>Hello? Hello?<\/p>\n<p>[suspenseful music] Looks like the Halloween pranksters showed up early this year.<\/p>\n<p>[door shuts] Nicole? Uh, OK, what was that noise?<\/p>\n<p>[sighs] Maggie, here&#8217;s what I don&#8217;t get. Granddad knew that it would be shocking for all of us. I mean, he knew that it would be devastating for Justin, for you, for Alex-<\/p>\n<p>knowing that Alex was his long lost son. Yet he just left us all to sort it out? I don&#8217;t understand. I don&#8217;t understand why he would just let Alex&#8217;s true paternity remain a secret all these years.<\/p>\n<p>I wish I had the answer for you. But you know, if God granted me one more minute with that man, that is the exact question that I would ask him-<\/p>\n<p>why?<\/p>\n<p>Oh, I get why you and every other shallow idiot in this town thinks that I should be eternally grateful for my good fortune. Just kind of hard to see it that way when your whole damn world&#8217;s been turned upside down.<\/p>\n<p>You know, when I came over here, I thought you&#8217;d be gloating. I wasn&#8217;t expecting a pity party.<\/p>\n<p>No, I&#8217;m not looking for anybody to feel sorry for me. But if you think for a single second that I would have traded Justin as my dad for Victor&#8217;s money, you don&#8217;t know a damn thing about me. You call me lucky? At least you know who you are. You know who your parents are. And I find it highly unlikely that you will ever be told that you are all wrong. And that your life was a lie.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t tell me you&#8217;re having second thoughts.<\/p>\n<p>No. Of course not. Doesn&#8217;t mean I don&#8217;t feel somewhat guilty about it, though.<\/p>\n<p>You feel guilty? For robbing the swine of his birthright?<\/p>\n<p>Hell no. Xander can live on the streets for all I care. It&#8217;s Alex.<\/p>\n<p>What is there to feel guilty about Alex? We made him rich!<\/p>\n<p>We also made him fatherless.<\/p>\n<p>What do you mean it still could be Alex?<\/p>\n<p>This letter from Xander&#8217;s mother talking about her affair with Victor and the child it produced, well, it&#8217;s sort of vague.<\/p>\n<p>Vague? How?<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m just saying that it wouldn&#8217;t be that hard to substitute &#8220;Anjelica Deveraux&#8221; at the bottom of the letter.<\/p>\n<p>Anjelica is?<\/p>\n<p>Alex&#8217;s mother.<\/p>\n<p>Oh.<\/p>\n<p>And see, I know enough about their past to know there&#8217;s nothing in this letter that would contradict it.<\/p>\n<p>So Alex becomes the heir and-<\/p>\n<p>Xander ends up with nothing?<\/p>\n<p>He would squander all the money away, anyway.<\/p>\n<p>Agreed. But why Alex Kiriakis? Why make him the wealthy man in Xander&#8217;s stead?<\/p>\n<p>We have a connection going. We&#8217;ve already talked about going out. He seems real interested. And if I can make something happen fast, something between us before he learns that he&#8217;s the heir, then he won&#8217;t have to question me going after him for his inheritance.<\/p>\n<p>That is quite a plan.<\/p>\n<p>It would be so simple. I wouldn&#8217;t even have to tweak the will. All it says is that he leaves half of his inheritance to the son he never acknowledged-<\/p>\n<p>no name. I can make this happen.<\/p>\n<p>You mean, we can make this happen.<\/p>\n<p>We?<\/p>\n<p>I have access to equipment. I can bring you a brand new letter, one forged so well that no one will question it. We both bring something to this equation, Theresa. And when it comes to Victor&#8217;s fortune, there&#8217;s more than enough to go around. Partners?<\/p>\n<p>[suspenseful music]<\/p>\n<p>Alex asked me to move in with him, but getting him to pop the question, well, I don&#8217;t know how long that&#8217;s going to take. So I can&#8217;t promise you when you&#8217;re going to get your payday.<\/p>\n<p>Then I&#8217;ll just have to find a way to stick around for a while.<\/p>\n<p>Little bit of advice, cousin. Maybe keep the sob story about your parentage to yourself. No one likes to hear billionaires whine about their hurt feelings.<\/p>\n<p>Xander. What are you doing here?<\/p>\n<p>I was just leaving. Why are you here?<\/p>\n<p>She&#8217;s moving in.<\/p>\n<p>[laughs] That&#8217;s who you thought I was when I came here earlier? Why am I not surprised? Victor has a new rich son, and Theresa&#8217;s already on the case.<\/p>\n<p>Leave.<\/p>\n<p>Gladly.<\/p>\n<p>Do not listen to him. He&#8217;s jealous. And wishes all this happened to him instead of me.<\/p>\n<p>Hmm.<\/p>\n<p>How was your walk?<\/p>\n<p>It was lovely. I passed by these in the park and thought of you.<\/p>\n<p>Daffodils. They&#8217;re my favorite.<\/p>\n<p>I believe Victor told me that once.<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t believe you remembered that. I also don&#8217;t believe that they were blooming in the park in October.<\/p>\n<p>[laughs] I had the feeling I would not get away with that story. You are too clever.<\/p>\n<p>You bought them for me.<\/p>\n<p>It was the least I can do after I spent the night. Oh, Maggie, meeting you and seeing the town Victor called home, it has been magical. However-<\/p>\n<p>However what?<\/p>\n<p>My time here has come to an end, Maggie.<\/p>\n<p>Oh. Does it have to?<\/p>\n<p>I never planned to stay more than a day or so, so.<\/p>\n<p>Plans change.<\/p>\n<p>[stammers] I mean, if there&#8217;s nothing urgent for you back in Greece, you&#8217;re more than welcome to stay with Victor&#8217;s family as long as you like.<\/p>\n<p>A night was one thing. Asking to stay longer would be such an imposition.<\/p>\n<p>You didn&#8217;t ask. I offered. Having you here, it would be a pleasure.<\/p>\n<p>Oh. Oh, hi.<\/p>\n<p>Hey, you&#8217;re back quicker than I thought.<\/p>\n<p>Well, sometimes these things just work out.<\/p>\n<p>[laughs]<\/p>\n<p>Hello, Marlena. Nice to see you.<\/p>\n<p>Hello, Sloan. Nice to see you, too.<\/p>\n<p>I was just walking my mom out.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. But you know what? We were just actually talking about you before you came in. Eric was telling me about all the wonderful things coming up in your life.<\/p>\n<p>Glad to hear it.<\/p>\n<p>But we&#8217;ll have to get together. You know, why don&#8217;t-<\/p>\n<p>why don&#8217;t you both come to supper?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, I would like that.<\/p>\n<p>Great.<\/p>\n<p>Good. Good. I&#8217;ll&#8211;I&#8217;ll call you with some dates, and we&#8217;ll-<\/p>\n<p>we&#8217;ll get it set up.<\/p>\n<p>OK.<\/p>\n<p>OK.<\/p>\n<p>Great.<\/p>\n<p>[door shuts]<\/p>\n<p>[suspenseful music]<\/p>\n<p>Oh, did you finish your homework?<\/p>\n<p>Oh, I was interrupted. And now I have to take another work call. So I&#8217;ll get to my homework a little later. In the meantime, I&#8217;m going to put this precious document with very important information about our soon-to-be-born little one into the safe so we don&#8217;t lose it again.<\/p>\n<p>[laughs]<\/p>\n<p>And no one will have access to it but Mommy and Daddy.<\/p>\n<p>Ooh.
