What&#8217;s that wonderful smell?<\/p>\n<p>Good morning, sleepyhead.<\/p>\n<p>What are you cooking, chef?<\/p>\n<p>Haggis with neeps and tatties.<\/p>\n<p>[laughs] I&#8217;m sorry, come again?<\/p>\n<p>Turnip and potato mash.<\/p>\n<p>Mmm. So you&#8217;re making haggis for brunch. Was your New Year&#8217;s resolution to get in touch with your roots?<\/p>\n<p>Well, I figured I&#8217;d have to surprise you. I was going to bring you breakfast in bed. I was actually kind of looking forward to that. I mean, I&#8211;I would have knocked first. I wouldn&#8217;t just presume to barge in there while you were, you know, in bed.<\/p>\n<p>Actually, I&#8211; I wouldn&#8217;t have minded. You could have done that.<\/p>\n<p>[romantic music]<\/p>\n<p>[clattering]<\/p>\n<p>[door unlocks]<\/p>\n<p>Wendy, hey.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;re home.<\/p>\n<p>Finally. I&#8217;m&#8211;I&#8217;m really sorry I didn&#8217;t make it for New Year&#8217;s Eve. I got stuck at the hospital, and then it was a crazy night.<\/p>\n<p>No, no, no, no, no, no. It&#8217;s okay. We can make up for it in Hong Kong when we celebrate Lunar New Year together.<\/p>\n<p>[gasps] We are going to have such an amazing time, okay? Checking out all the fireworks and lantern displays. Oh, and I know the best street food stall to get dumplings and nian gao, which you are going to love.<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles] And I&#8217;m happy to announce that the police department granted me an open-ended leave of absence.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s great.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, it is. Especially since, you know, I hope to come back someday. Of course, it all depends on my dad&#8217;s condition.<\/p>\n<p>Right. Yeah, how is he holding up?<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s still in rough shape. But luckily my flight leaves tonight, as you know, and then I&#8217;ll be there with him and my mom.<\/p>\n<p>And I know they&#8217;ll both be so happy to see you.<\/p>\n<p>And I&#8217;ll be so happy when I get to welcome you to Hong Kong. Speaking of which, have you made arrangements to take a leave from the hospital and join me soon?<\/p>\n<p>[somber music]<\/p>\n<p>About that. I&#8217;m sorry, Wendy. I&#8211;I can&#8217;t go.<\/p>\n<p>Can&#8217;t wait to get you home, buddy.<\/p>\n<p>Okay. I just got a call from the assistant district attorney.<\/p>\n<p>I just got off the phone with the judge. He&#8217;s reversed his decision. Your bail has been revoked. I&#8217;m sorry, Tate. You&#8217;re not going anywhere except back into custody.<\/p>\n<p>No. No, he can&#8217;t do that.<\/p>\n<p>Well, unfortunately he can, because judges have a lot of latitude.<\/p>\n<p>What? How can he do&#8211;how can he just change his mind? I mean, he just granted bail a half an hour ago.<\/p>\n<p>Okay, okay. I just got to the bottom of it. Apparently EJ convinced the judge that Tate is a flight risk because of the family wealth, access to the jet.<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s a&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>That&#8211;that&#8217;s not true. It&#8217;s not fair.<\/p>\n<p>Justin, EJ probably owns this judge. You know that.<\/p>\n<p>I haven&#8217;t heard anything to suggest that. But EJ&#8211; as the district attorney, he holds a lot of sway.<\/p>\n<p>Oh my God, this can&#8217;t be happening.<\/p>\n<p>Please, can everyone just stop talking and tell me what&#8217;s going to happen to me?<\/p>\n<p>[tense music]<\/p>\n<p>[soft orchestration] announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the &#8220;Days of Our Lives.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Victoria is still&#8211; oh, thank you. Victoria is still sleeping, yeah?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, yeah. Once we got settled after her last bottle, she slept through the night. No fever, nothing. She&#8217;s&#8211;she&#8217;s doing so much better.<\/p>\n<p>She&#8217;s a trooper.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, she is. Thank you for letting me stay last night.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, of course. I mean, you know, after the whole fever scare last night, and me stupidly not having any baby amphetamine on hand.<\/p>\n<p>[laughs] Acetaminophen. It&#8217;s infant acetaminophen. And it all worked out.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, because of you. I mean, thank God you&#8217;re her mum and a doctor to boot. I mean, if anything, I should be the one thanking you.<\/p>\n<p>[gentle music] Especially since I ruined your New Year&#8217;s Eve plans.<\/p>\n<p>Her temperature&#8217;s back to normal.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, thank God.<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles] Between the meds and your lullaby.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, well, I doubt it had anything to do with the latter. But she&#8217;s feeling better. Maybe you have time to nip over to your party now.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, no. No, I don&#8217;t care about the party. I&#8217;d much rather be here with my little girl. And you.<\/p>\n<p>[fireworks bursting] I wouldn&#8217;t say ruined.<\/p>\n<p>Sarah, I&#8217;m, uh&#8211; look, I&#8217;m sorry. About last night, if I&#8211;if I did anything&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>[baby crying] I&#8217;ll go get her.<\/p>\n<p>Are you sure?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, yeah. The food&#8217;s all ready. Just help yourself. I&#8217;ll be right back.<\/p>\n<p>[crying continues] Shh.<\/p>\n<p>But, Tripp, I thought we had already decided. And you were the one who wanted to go with me.<\/p>\n<p>I know, but that was all before last night.<\/p>\n<p>What happened last night?<\/p>\n<p>Holly Jonas was brought into the hospital.<\/p>\n<p>Nicole&#8217;s daughter?<\/p>\n<p>She OD&#8217;d at the Bistro. She was found on the loading dock apparently, barely alive.<\/p>\n<p>My God. Is she going to be okay?<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s too soon to tell. But this isn&#8217;t exactly about Holly.<\/p>\n<p>What is it about, then?<\/p>\n<p>[tense music]<\/p>\n<p>Well, when I got off duty, I went over to check on Mom to make sure she was okay.<\/p>\n<p>And how&#8217;s she doing?<\/p>\n<p>[sighs] I don&#8217;t know. She&#8217;s acting really strange.<\/p>\n<p>Well, that&#8217;s understandable, isn&#8217;t it? I mean, it must have been traumatic for her to have someone OD on her watch.<\/p>\n<p>No, this is more than that. I&#8211;I know my mom. I know when something&#8217;s not right. When she encouraged me to go with you to Hong Kong, I&#8211; I had this sinking feeling that there was something up with her.<\/p>\n<p>Like what?<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know exactly. I mean, I just think there&#8217;s something going on that she doesn&#8217;t want me to know about, because she was way too eager to have me , miles away on another continent.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. I don&#8217;t know your mom all that well, but that does seem to be out of character for her.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, it is. You know, because my mom is all about wanting to be close to me, you know, because I&#8217;m her only child now that my brother Charlie&#8217;s gone, but it&#8217;s her way of making up for lost time. You know my mom used to be in the mob.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, I do know that. Wait, you don&#8217;t think&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t want to think anything but that she&#8217;s telling me the truth. And she adamantly denied being involved with drugs.<\/p>\n<p>But you don&#8217;t believe her, do you?<\/p>\n<p>No, I don&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>Son, don&#8217;t worry about it. We&#8217;re&#8211;we&#8217;re not going to give up. We&#8217;re never going to give up, okay? We&#8217;ll figure something out.<\/p>\n<p>They can&#8217;t do this. They can&#8217;t send my child to jail.<\/p>\n<p>No, no. It&#8217;ll be juvenile hall, Theresa, not jail. Look, we will explore our options and fight for the best outcome.<\/p>\n<p>What options? What options do we have? I mean, can we go to the judge and say that EJ is clearly a conflict of interest? I mean, this is a personal vendetta. That&#8217;s all this is.<\/p>\n<p>The first thing we do, we file an appeal. And I will do that immediately. And then we will explore every avenue to challenge this decision.<\/p>\n<p>Well, how about if I just put up times the bail that was set? Do you think maybe that would convince him to reconsider?<\/p>\n<p>No. The legal system doesn&#8217;t work like that, Alex.<\/p>\n<p>Well, can&#8217;t you make it work that way? You&#8217;ve been doing this a long time. You know the judges. Make it happen.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, a pleasant afternoon to you all.<\/p>\n<p>You son of a bitch!<\/p>\n<p>No! Hey. Let&#8217;s not make this worse, okay, Brady?<\/p>\n<p>Why are you doing this? Why are you doing this to my son?<\/p>\n<p>[dramatic music]<\/p>\n<p>Maybe you should get some sleep.<\/p>\n<p>And miss you leaving? No way. No, I&#8217;ve been up hours. What&#8217;s a few more?<\/p>\n<p>So&#8230; you think your mom&#8217;s back in the game, huh?<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t want to think that, but too many things don&#8217;t add up. Or maybe they do.<\/p>\n<p>What do you mean? How so?<\/p>\n<p>Well, for starters, she suddenly breaks things off with Harris, right? And then she kills Gil dead right here in this very apartment just before. And then out of nowhere, she&#8217;s managing the Bistro with Stefan DiMera?<\/p>\n<p>And have you confronted her about all this?<\/p>\n<p>Of course, but she&#8217;s got an answer for everything, you know? It&#8217;s like she&#8217;s prepared. Too prepared.<\/p>\n<p>Right. And I understand why you&#8217;re so worried, Tripp, especially given your mom&#8217;s history.<\/p>\n<p>Now that Harris isn&#8217;t in her life anymore&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>She needs you. Now more than ever, whether or not she&#8217;ll admit it. And so without you here, who will take care of her?<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s the burning question. This hurts just so much more because you&#8217;re being so understanding, which I love you for.<\/p>\n<p>Because I know you and I love you.<\/p>\n<p>I am so sorry, Wendy. I truly am. All of this is so unfair.<\/p>\n<p>You know, I&#8211; I won&#8217;t say I&#8217;m not disappointed, Tripp. But family is obviously very important to you, and I respect you for that. You know, just like I feel like I have to take care of my parents now. I know you feel the same way about your mom.<\/p>\n<p>[somber music] It&#8217;s just, now we have another issue.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. Yeah, I know. What does this mean for us?<\/p>\n<p>Oh, you really enjoyed that, huh?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, can&#8217;t you tell? I cleaned my plate.<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles] Well, just wait till our little Victoria gets a taste of her granny&#8217;s &#8220;skons.&#8221; She&#8217;s going to love them.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m sorry, what?<\/p>\n<p>[laughs] Say that again.<\/p>\n<p>What, &#8220;skons?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Do you mean scones?<\/p>\n<p>Some Scottish people pronounce it differently. Like John, gone, &#8220;skon.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles]<\/p>\n<p>Wow. It&#8217;s amazing. After all this time that we have known each other, I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve ever heard you say the word &#8220;scone.&#8221; &#8220;Skon.&#8221; It&#8217;s scone.<\/p>\n<p>[laughs] I&#8211;you know, I do admit that I hope that she gets your accent.<\/p>\n<p>Really? Why?<\/p>\n<p>Because it&#8217;s&#8211; it&#8217;s charming, and I love it. And she is half-Scottish.<\/p>\n<p>Mm, she is. But I don&#8217;t know, I was kind of hoping she&#8217;d take more after your side of the family.<\/p>\n<p>Why is that?<\/p>\n<p>Because I think the world of you, and of Maggie. And I happen to find your American accent very charming. In fact, I like everything about you, truth be told.<\/p>\n<p>[gentle music]<\/p>\n<p>Well, thanks.<\/p>\n<p>[laughs] I&#8211;I should get dressed and pack up all of Victoria&#8217;s things. It is my night with her, as you know.<\/p>\n<p>Right. How could I forget?<\/p>\n<p>So I&#8217;ll be out of your hair in a jiffy, give you your apartment back.<\/p>\n<p>[door closes]<\/p>\n<p>Brady!<\/p>\n<p>Brady!<\/p>\n<p>Brady, don&#8217;t do it! Don&#8217;t. Don&#8217;t! It&#8217;s just going to make things worse for Tate.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, let him go, Commissioner. I&#8217;m curious to see how far he&#8217;s willing to take it. Assaulting the district attorney? Perhaps some father-son time in jail would be a wonderful bonding experience.<\/p>\n<p>Brady, no, no, no, no. We need you here with us.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t make things worse.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t think things could get worse.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, I beg to differ, Theresa. Things can definitely get worse. Look at my family. Look at my wife, Nicole, broken at Holly&#8217;s bedside, very possibly about to lose another child. An innocent girl fighting for her life because she was influenced&#8211; probably pressured&#8211; into taking potentially lethal drugs by the amoral, entitled son of drug addicts.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s not&#8211; that&#8217;s not what happened. I told her not to do it. I told her it was a bad idea, but she didn&#8217;t listen to me!<\/p>\n<p>Save it, son. Tate is nearly of age, and he has committed a serious crime that&#8217;s resulted in the grievous bodily injury of my stepdaughter.<\/p>\n<p>You have no proof of that. What happened to being innocent until proven guilty?<\/p>\n<p>Tate will be charged as an adult and held here at the local Salem jail with the other prisoners.<\/p>\n<p>[tense music]<\/p>\n<p>EJ, you can&#8217;t charge Tate as an adult for possession. The law doesn&#8217;t support that.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m well aware of the law, Justin. How about manslaughter or attempted murder for peddling a deadly batch of drugs that&#8217;s killing kids, and might have killed my stepdaughter?<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s only . He can&#8217;t do this, can he?<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m afraid he can. The district attorney can charge a minor as an adult if the crime is fitting.<\/p>\n<p>EJ, please. EJ, he&#8217;s&#8211;he&#8217;s just a child. I mean, you&#8217;re a parent too. Can&#8211;can you just please have some compassion?<\/p>\n<p>Theresa, I told you we should get another lawyer.<\/p>\n<p>[scoffs] Justin should have changed the venue.<\/p>\n<p>Alex, you are out of your element. You can&#8217;t change the venue until there&#8217;s a trial.<\/p>\n<p>Well, the least you could have done was found a judge who wasn&#8217;t under EJ&#8217;s thumb.<\/p>\n<p>Excuse me? What did you just say?<\/p>\n<p>You heard me.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re going to make an accusation, make it to my face.<\/p>\n<p>How about I rearrange your face instead?<\/p>\n<p>Oh, so now you&#8217;re threatening the DA while surrounded by cops. Brilliant.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not scared of you, EJ. You don&#8217;t think the Kiriakises have friends in high places?<\/p>\n<p>Stop! Everybody stop. Mom. Mom, I beg you, please, please don&#8217;t let them send me to jail. I&#8211;I can&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>[somber music]<\/p>\n<p>I know.<\/p>\n<p>[sighs] I wish there was a way I could just stay here in Salem. You know, be here for you and your mom. But, as you know, my parents need me in Hong Kong. I feel like I have to go. I&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>I get that, okay? Hey, they just lost their son, and you feel the responsibility to help them through that.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, I do.<\/p>\n<p>And like I said, I totally understand. We need to talk about what happens next. I mean, are we going to try the long-distance thing?<\/p>\n<p>Well, yeah. But it&#8217;s a really long distance, so it won&#8217;t be easy.<\/p>\n<p>Right. I mean, it&#8217;s obviously, you know, too long to just spend weekends together here or there. But I mean, we can still talk and text, video calls. And then when there is more than a weekend we both have free, we can definitely visit each other.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, right. No, that all sounds nice and doable. I mean, making all these plans while we&#8217;re still in the same room. But we both once I leave and we&#8217;re separated by oceans, it won&#8217;t be the same.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, I guess it won&#8217;t be.<\/p>\n<p>And, Tripp, I care about you so much, and I just want you to be happy. So I don&#8217;t want to stand in your way if you meet someone else, okay? I don&#8217;t&#8211;I don&#8217;t expect you to wait for me. I mean that.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8230; I understand. I wouldn&#8217;t want you waiting for me, either.<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t believe we&#8217;re actually saying goodbye.<\/p>\n<p>Look at me in my walk-of-shame outfit. Not that there&#8217;s anything to be ashamed of, just that your neighbors might talk.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, my neighbors are terribly unfriendly. Whenever they pass me in the hall, they just look right through me. So I can&#8217;t imagine they&#8217;ll pay you any attention.<\/p>\n<p>Ah. As much as I do love attention, I&#8217;m going to count on that.<\/p>\n<p>And I have to say, if I may, that your walk-of-shame outfit is very becoming. Not that I&#8217;ve ever seen you look anything but beautiful, no matter what you wear or don&#8217;t wear.<\/p>\n<p>[sultry music]<\/p>\n<p>Well, um, thank you. Victoria&#8217;s diaper bag is all packed up. So as soon as she wakes up, I will head out. And in the meantime, I should help you with the dishes, because you&#8217;ve cooked.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, no, stop. Don&#8217;t worry about that.<\/p>\n<p>No, I don&#8217;t mind. Like I said&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Sarah, please, will you just forget about the dishes?<\/p>\n<p>Okay. Is there something wrong?<\/p>\n<p>No, it&#8217;s&#8211; earlier, when I was putting Victoria down, I&#8211; well, I couldn&#8217;t help but think that now that Chloe&#8217;s moved out, that there is, uh&#8211; there&#8217;s a spare room.<\/p>\n<p>Right. Yeah, for Victoria. You&#8211;you&#8217;re making it into a nursery.<\/p>\n<p>I am, yes. But you&#8217;ll notice that there is a regular bed in there too. I know you know, because you slept in it last night. I assume it was comfortable?<\/p>\n<p>It was, yeah.<\/p>\n<p>So I wonder&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>[laughs]<\/p>\n<p>If maybe it&#8217;s possible, if you would even consider&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Con&#8211;consider what?<\/p>\n<p>Moving in here permanently, with our daughter.<\/p>\n<p>You know, I can&#8217;t even imagine not having you in my life.<\/p>\n<p>[gentle music] You&#8217;ve been my rock, my support. I don&#8217;t think I could have even survived my brother&#8217;s death without you. Not to mention you make me laugh, and I do love your shrimp tacos.<\/p>\n<p>Well, you make me laugh too. I&#8217;m so impressed by your mind, how smart you are, how hard you work and do whatever you do. Just being around you lifts my spirits.<\/p>\n<p>Even when I&#8217;m whiny and sad and sorry for myself?<\/p>\n<p>You are never any of the above. You are brave and kind. You&#8217;ve taught me to believe in love again.<\/p>\n<p>Xander, I&#8211; I don&#8217;t know what to say.<\/p>\n<p>Say yes. Move in with me, with us.<\/p>\n<p>[soft dramatic music]<\/p>\n<p>I mean, sharing custody is hard. I miss her so much when we are apart.<\/p>\n<p>Sarah, I totally agree. And come on, it has to be better for our little girl to have a permanent home rather than bouncing back and forth between two places all the time.<\/p>\n<p>No, it would. It&#8211;it definitely would. But you know, uh, Konstantin is staying with my mom until his ankle is healed and he can leave town. And I like the guy, but I don&#8217;t exactly trust him, so I don&#8217;t know how I&#8217;d feel about my mom being alone with him all the time.<\/p>\n<p>I mean, Maggie&#8217;s not really alone. There&#8217;s lots of people still live at the Kiriakis mansion. Henderson&#8217;s always there. It&#8217;s a&#8211;it&#8217;s a busy house. Plus, how can you keep an eye on your mum if you&#8217;re spending a good chunk of your day at the hospital?<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s true. But maybe she could just volunteer more, you know, at the hospital. I mean&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Or maybe you could trust that she&#8217;s a big girl, and she can take care of herself. Unless&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Unless what?<\/p>\n<p>Sarah, are you just looking for a reason to say no?<\/p>\n<p>Please. Please don&#8217;t let them take me, Mom. Please.<\/p>\n<p>Just please give me a minute. I need to speak to my son.<\/p>\n<p>Look at me. Look at me. It&#8217;s going to be okay. We&#8217;re going to get you out of here as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m scared.<\/p>\n<p>I know. Don&#8217;t be scared. You don&#8217;t have to be scared because you didn&#8217;t do anything wrong.<\/p>\n<p>No. We know you&#8217;re innocent, and we are going to fight like hell to prove it. Don&#8217;t you worry.<\/p>\n<p>[tense music]<\/p>\n<p>Even if the drugs weren&#8217;t yours, Tate, the fact remains that you didn&#8217;t call when you found Holly, and that could mean the difference between whether she pulls through this or not.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m sorry. I&#8217;m&#8211;I&#8217;m so sorry.<\/p>\n<p>Mm. Oh, it&#8217;s a little too late for sorry.<\/p>\n<p>Okay. Maybe I am looking for a reason to not move in. It&#8217;s just, I think you can understand how complicated this is for me. You know, how I might feel conflicted about us living together.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously I&#8211; but Sarah, let&#8217;s not ignore the -ton elephant in the room any longer. We kissed last night, and we haven&#8217;t talked about it. Sarah, are you worried that I only asked you to move in with me in the hope that maybe eventually we would sleep together?<\/p>\n<p>[tense music]<\/p>\n<p>Okay. Honestly, you know, our emotions were heightened. We were both worried that Victoria might be sick. And it was New Year&#8217;s Eve, and we did&#8211; we got caught up in the fireworks, and the celebratory feeling. And it was just&#8211;it happened in the heat of the moment.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s true.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>But it&#8217;s also true that I&#8217;ve wanted to kiss you for a long time.<\/p>\n<p>Well&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Well, what?<\/p>\n<p>I wanted to kiss you too.<\/p>\n<p>I can tell.<\/p>\n<p>[laughs] Look, Xander, that kiss&#8211; it was&#8211; It was amazing. Yeah, all of our kisses are amazing. I&#8217;m just&#8211; I&#8217;m scared of going too fast and falling just madly in love with you again, and regretting it.<\/p>\n<p>[sighs] So&#8230; guess my&#8211; my car should be here soon.<\/p>\n<p>What? Oh, you shouldn&#8217;t have ordered a car. Cancel it. I&#8217;ll take you to the airport. We should be together till the very last minute.<\/p>\n<p>Tripp, I don&#8217;t think it would be a very good idea for us to go together to the airport. I think it would just make it harder for us to say goodbye.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, but I want to take you.<\/p>\n<p>Please, I&#8217;d rather you didn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>[somber music]<\/p>\n<p>Okay. I understand.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m going to go freshen up before I go.<\/p>\n<p>[phone beeps] Okay, my car is here a bit early, actually.<\/p>\n<p>No, let me.<\/p>\n<p>[crying]<\/p>\n<p>[phone rings]<\/p>\n<p>This is a nightmare. I mean, my son is innocent. And not just innocent, he is a good and caring person. He would never willingly hurt somebody, let alone somebody that he cares about.<\/p>\n<p>Theresa, it&#8217;s going to be okay.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know if I can believe that. I mean, look&#8211;look&#8211; look at his eyes. Look at EJ&#8217;s eyes. I don&#8217;t see a husband who is grieving the loss of a child, or a man who is dying inside for his wife, because her daughter is suffering. I just&#8211; I just see bitterness and hatred.<\/p>\n<p>[tense music]<\/p>\n<p>Tate, we need to get you out of that suit. Officer Kelsey will help you with that.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll go with Tate, make sure he&#8217;s taken care of.<\/p>\n<p>Good. Counselor, a word?<\/p>\n<p>Of course, Commissioner. Lead the way.<\/p>\n<p>You know what, Alex? You were right. I should have listened to you. We should have gotten another lawyer.<\/p>\n<p>Make this quick. I don&#8217;t want to miss the boy being hauled away in cuffs.<\/p>\n<p>What the hell is the matter with you? Why are you doing this?<\/p>\n<p>You can&#8217;t figure it out? I mean, as someone who was in Holly&#8217;s life at one time, I would think you and I would be on the same side of this, Hernandez.<\/p>\n<p>On the same side?<\/p>\n<p>Yes. &#8211;<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles] When the hell was I ever on the same side with you on anything?<\/p>\n<p>[tense music] I mean, for God&#8217;s sake. Okay, let&#8217;s say Tate did give Holly those drugs. He&#8217;s just a kid. He&#8217;s a kid who never meant for any of this to happen. Besides which, Holly took those drugs willingly.<\/p>\n<p>That is a baseless assumption. Tate could have put them in her drink for all we know.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, yeah. Yeah, sure. Well, soon we will know a lot more, because I&#8217;m going to go to the high school, and I&#8217;m going to interview eyewitnesses, and then we will get a clear picture as to what was going on with Holly. Maybe some things that you don&#8217;t even know about, but perhaps I should just share that with Nicole.<\/p>\n<p>Stay away from my wife, and don&#8217;t you dare try and make the victim the criminal here.<\/p>\n<p>All I am trying to do is to get you to see the reality of this tragedy! I mean, my God. Holly Jonas is in a coma. Her mother is in agony. And all you can do is lash out at this poor kid who&#8217;s already horrified and traumatized? You&#8217;re trying to make his pain worse. Does that make you feel good, EJ? Is it lifting your spirits?<\/p>\n<p>This conversation is over.<\/p>\n<p>Okay. Well, think about this, then. Think about Johnny when he was Tate&#8217;s age. Imagine if someone was doing what you are doing to Tate to him. How would that make you feel? Yeah, it&#8217;d make you go nuts. Think about it, EJ.<\/p>\n<p>[dramatic music]<\/p>\n<p>Sarah, if you moved in here with me, if you agreed to, we&#8217;d be roommates and co-parents. And I promise I would&#8211; I&#8217;d be a proper gentleman. I mean, I would respect your boundaries. That&#8217;s the modern way of putting it, right?<\/p>\n<p>It is, yeah. It is.<\/p>\n<p>And I&#8217;m sure that you would respect mine.<\/p>\n<p>Your boundaries?<\/p>\n<p>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, okay. Well, uh, what are they?<\/p>\n<p>Well, let&#8217;s see. You should never, ever&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Oh.<\/p>\n<p>Eat something from the fridge that I was saving for myself.<\/p>\n<p>Ah. Yeah, okay. Any other boundaries?<\/p>\n<p>Yes.<\/p>\n<p>Oh.<\/p>\n<p>Actually a very important one. You should&#8211; I would prefer it if you did not&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Put my phone or tablet or laptop somewhere where I can&#8217;t find it. You know, in an effort to straighten up.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, no. I get that. I get that one, yeah.<\/p>\n<p>So how about you? What are your boundaries?<\/p>\n<p>Oh, man. Just too many to state right now, so I&#8217;ll probably just make a list, or some sort of a spreadsheet.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, a spreadsheet. Yeah, that&#8217;d be helpful.<\/p>\n<p>I think it would be, yeah.<\/p>\n<p>So what&#8217;s your answer?<\/p>\n<p>[gentle music]<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d be willing to give it a shot, I guess. I mean, I would.<\/p>\n<p>[laughs]<\/p>\n<p>I was really hoping you would say that.<\/p>\n<p>[keys jangle] Sarah, welcome to your new home.<\/p>\n<p>Did you have these in your pocket the whole time?<\/p>\n<p>[both laugh] You&#8217;re quiet.<\/p>\n<p>[sighs] Tripp&#8230; I have to go. It&#8217;s time.<\/p>\n<p>I know.<\/p>\n<p>[somber music] God, I&#8217;m gonna miss you so much.<\/p>\n<p>[sighs] I love you.<\/p>\n<p>I love you too. Always.<\/p>\n<p>[sobs]<\/p>\n<p>[exhales]<\/p>\n<p>Hey. Look at me. Hey. We have to have&#8211; we have to have faith that Holly is going to wake up, okay? And she&#8217;s going to make everything okay. She&#8217;s going to set things right.<\/p>\n<p>We will do everything in our power to prove your innocence. We are going to fight this, Tate.<\/p>\n<p>[tense music]<\/p>\n<p>I never meant for any of this to happen.<\/p>\n<p>Of course you didn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>I know.<\/p>\n<p>Of course you didn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>Buddy, buddy, you are innocent. You&#8217;re innocent. And until we prove it&#8211; we will prove it. And we&#8217;re going to get you home as soon as we can, okay?<\/p>\n<p>Come here. We love you. We love you so much, Tate.<\/p>\n<p>Tate, I&#8211; I&#8217;m sorry.<\/p>\n<p>Hey. I&#8217;m sorry to say, but it&#8217;s time for Tate to come with me.<\/p>\n<p>We wouldn&#8217;t want to keep your new cellmates waiting, now would we?<\/p>\n<p>You are a monster. I swear, if anything happens to my son&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>All right, Theresa. Let&#8217;s not give him any more ammunition, okay? This guy&#8217;s not worth it.<\/p>\n<p>Come here. You stay strong, all right? I&#8217;m going to move heaven and earth to get you out of here, you hear me?<\/p>\n<p>[handcuffs jangling]<\/p>\n<p>Come on. Tate, I&#8217;m sorry, but it&#8217;s protocol for the transfer down to the jail.<\/p>\n<p>Okay.<\/p>\n<p>Okay. Let&#8217;s go.<\/p>\n<p>EJ&#8230; this isn&#8217;t over.
