Thanks.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s especially good when it&#8217;s delivered warm right to your front door. I&#8217;m sorry you had a rough day.<\/p>\n<p>Mm. I&#8217;m just putting out fires. How about you?<\/p>\n<p>The same.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. Listen to that.<\/p>\n<p>Oh. Silence.<\/p>\n<p>Beautiful, isn&#8217;t it?<\/p>\n<p>Oh, you would not believe the day I&#8217;ve had. I spent the whole day just putting out&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Fires? Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>So what can I get you, kid? I got plenty of leftovers from dinner. Would you like some?<\/p>\n<p>No. You know what? I could probably use one of those non-alcoholic beers, but I think we&#8217;re out.<\/p>\n<p>Actually, I picked up some on the way home, so I&#8217;ll be right back.<\/p>\n<p>Dad, thanks.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>Believe him? Everything that&#8217;s on his plate, and he&#8217;s thinking about me.<\/p>\n<p>Your father is a very kind man.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, he is. I kind of wish I had his generosity of spirit. And I also wish I was as good a dad as he is.<\/p>\n<p>[soft dramatic music]<\/p>\n<p>And we just need one more.<\/p>\n<p>You, me, Maggie&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>[tense music]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>My mom is bringing someone.<\/p>\n<p>When did that happen?<\/p>\n<p>When you were in the shower. It&#8217;s Konstantin.<\/p>\n<p>Well, then, we don&#8217;t need an extra space, love, because Konstantin is one man that I will not share a dinner table with.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>What is this thing? What does it mean to Steve and to John?<\/p>\n<p>[knocking]<\/p>\n<p>Hey, you almost ready? We should be going.<\/p>\n<p>Come in.<\/p>\n<p>The car is out front. I don&#8217;t want to keep Sarah and Xander waiting.<\/p>\n<p>Are you sure this is a good idea?<\/p>\n<p>Why wouldn&#8217;t it be?<\/p>\n<p>Well, Xander is not exactly my biggest fan, and for very good reason.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&#8220;She looked into his steely blue eyes, &#8220;now dark with desire and a longing that echoed her own. &#8220;He kissed her with a fierce intensity, &#8220;his tongue exploring her mouth as his hands touched her, caressing her curves.&#8221; Hmm. &#8220;As he lifted her up, she gasped, her breath ragged, &#8220;her legs wrapping around him as he pressed her against the wall.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>[knocking] Okay. All right.<\/p>\n<p>Delivery for Miss Ava Vitali.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;re my sushi delivery guy?<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s me.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, you don&#8217;t really look like a Gunther.<\/p>\n<p>Fun fact, my middle name is actually Gunther. Stefan O. Gunther DiMera. But don&#8217;t worry, I took care of the guy. I tipped him even though the genius seemed to be a little confused on where to find the numbers on the doors. I hope you got enough in here for two.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, you came for dinner.<\/p>\n<p>Mm. [chuckles] No, I didn&#8217;t. Actually, I came here to drink with you.<\/p>\n<p>Well, it seems like you already started drinking without me.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. Well, I don&#8217;t like drinking alone. And I thought to myself, I bet my little paisana&#8211; I bet she probably has a bottle of wine open by now. And lo and behold, so what do you say?<\/p>\n<p>Do I really have a choice?<\/p>\n<p>Come on. Come on. We can commiserate about how crappy our lives are.<\/p>\n<p>All right. Look, I mean, what else do I have to do tonight? I&#8217;ll get you a glass.<\/p>\n<p>I mean, this could be the nail in this guy&#8217;s coffin. I&#8217;ll be off in one second. I&#8217;m sorry, that wasn&#8217;t to you, Chad. Yeah. I mean, I really think this is going to be our Pulitzer. Okay, I&#8217;ll pick you up at : a.m. tomorrow. See you then.<\/p>\n<p>[phone beeps] Hey.<\/p>\n<p>Hey.<\/p>\n<p>Hey. Sorry I couldn&#8217;t take your call earlier. I was&#8211;it&#8217;s been a crazy couple hours.<\/p>\n<p>Clearly, a good crazy.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. But better seeing you. I&#8217;m glad you&#8217;re here.<\/p>\n<p>I came because I couldn&#8217;t find my earbud. And this is the last place I remember having it.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, yeah. Yeah. Okay.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe it&#8217;s on the nightstand.<\/p>\n<p>Yep. Good call. I don&#8217;t see it here. Not there.<\/p>\n<p>[both chuckle] Oh, yeah. Hey, look.<\/p>\n<p>Oh.<\/p>\n<p>There it is.<\/p>\n<p>I wonder how it got there.<\/p>\n<p>I mean, these things are&#8211;you know.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you. Wow, so you&#8217;re picking up Chad tomorrow at : a.m.? It&#8217;s like the crack of dawn. Where are you two going?<\/p>\n<p>[soft dramatic music]<\/p>\n<p>[soft orchestration] announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the &#8220;Days of Our Lives.&#8221;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Brady, don&#8217;t be so hard on yourself. You&#8217;re a wonderful father.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah? Is that why my daughter is indifferent to me now and my son&#8217;s in juvie rehab?<\/p>\n<p>Here you go, buddy. Like I said, plenty of leftovers if you&#8217;re hungry.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, I&#8217;m good. Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>[doorbell rings]<\/p>\n<p>Oh, that&#8217;s probably Theresa. We have to sign some consent forms for Tate&#8217;s youth correctional wilderness trip. Hi.<\/p>\n<p>Hey. Hi. I&#8217;m sorry. I didn&#8217;t mean to interrupt your evening.<\/p>\n<p>No, no, no, not at all.<\/p>\n<p>Theresa, please come in.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m just here because I have to send this registered mail in the morning. You used to be able to do it online. But some tech-savvy teens hacked the juvie system, so&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Brady tells us that he&#8217;s doing very well.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. So we hear.<\/p>\n<p>So we hear, yeah. I think we&#8217;re actually going to get to see him with our own eyes soon&#8211;a parental visitation.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, it&#8217;s going to be a very long few weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ve missed him so much. We&#8217;ve missed him as well.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. You know I think of all the times where I got really impatient with him or he would annoy me. My God, what I would give to just have him annoy me now and be able to embrace him and just tell him I love him.<\/p>\n<p>[somber music]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Well, I understand very well not being able to forgive someone who put their daughter in danger, even if indirectly, which is why I don&#8217;t know whether Xander will ever trust me, let alone feel comfortable with me.<\/p>\n<p>Well, you&#8217;re going to have to change his mind, Konstantin, especially since he&#8217;s going to be a very big part of my daughter&#8217;s life for a very long, long time.<\/p>\n<p>Are you implying that I am also to be part of your life for a very long, long time?<\/p>\n<p>Oh, no. No, I didn&#8217;t mean that.<\/p>\n<p>What did you mean?<\/p>\n<p>You know, it&#8217;s time to go. I don&#8217;t want to be late for dinner.<\/p>\n<p>[soft dramatic music]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Come on, tell me. What are you and Chad up to?<\/p>\n<p>Mm.<\/p>\n<p>Hey, I&#8217;m your PR consultant. I need to know.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles]<\/p>\n<p>Okay, okay, okay. I can tell you this much. We got a big lead about the drug crisis. And Chad and I are digging into it tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m intrigued.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s got potential to be a major breakthrough&#8211; something that could get &#8220;The Spectator&#8221; national recognition.<\/p>\n<p>Well, a recognition for you as well. I&#8217;m dying to hear more.<\/p>\n<p>Well, you&#8217;ll have to wait till it&#8217;s in writing.<\/p>\n<p>Fine. I will try to be patient. And now that I&#8217;ve got my earbud&#8230; I&#8217;ll be going.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. Wait. You have plans? I got a newly stocked mini bar chock full of those overpriced little liquor bottles. We could order some dinner. Stay.<\/p>\n<p>[sultry music]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Mm-hmm. There you go. You want some?<\/p>\n<p>No, I actually prefer to drown my sorrows on an empty stomach.<\/p>\n<p>Suit yourself. It&#8217;s good.<\/p>\n<p>What you got there?<\/p>\n<p>Cucumber.<\/p>\n<p>What you got there? What is that? You&#8217;re doing a little light, uplifting reading? Are you? Huh? Rubbing the hot oil all over your body got you in the mood?<\/p>\n<p>You know that phone call earlier&#8211; you know I was messing with you, right?<\/p>\n<p>I knew that.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>Okay, because it didn&#8217;t really seem like you did&#8211; not at first, at least.<\/p>\n<p>Hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. At first, it seemed like, you know, you believed me. And I kind of enjoyed that. I kind of enjoyed just making you a little crazy.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, yeah? Well, that&#8217;s okay because I&#8217;m already halfway to crazy these days.<\/p>\n<p>You really miss Gabby, huh?<\/p>\n<p>Every minute of every day.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8211;I can relate. I mean, that is, to, you know, missing someone.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>RoboCop, you miss him? You don&#8217;t need&#8211;you don&#8217;t need to answer that question. I am sorry. Okay? How about I propose a toast? To lost loves&#8230; and new friendships. Can I call this a friendship?<\/p>\n<p>Well, I mean, considering that you really annoy the hell out of me, and I can only&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Oh.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. I mean, it&#8217;s true. I can only stand spending about minutes with you until I want to pull my hair out. So yeah, I guess we&#8217;re friends.<\/p>\n<p>Well, for the record, you annoy the hell out of me.<\/p>\n<p>Oh?<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s right.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah?<\/p>\n<p>You do. And hanging out with you makes me want to pull my hair out.<\/p>\n<p>Okay.<\/p>\n<p>Because has anybody ever told you what a tremendous downer you are? I mean, you are. Bah, bah, that&#8217;s you. That&#8217;s you.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[laughs] Okay.<\/p>\n<p>But in spite of all that, I do consider you a friend&#8211; sort of, okay?<\/p>\n<p>Okay.<\/p>\n<p>You know.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>So&#8230; To new friendships.<\/p>\n<p>New friendships.<\/p>\n<p>[soft dramatic music]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>[melancholy music]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Okay. Here you go.<\/p>\n<p>Great. Thank you. And we&#8217;ll talk later, yeah?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, yeah. Hey, how are you doing? Good?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, good.<\/p>\n<p>Why don&#8217;t we give you a few minutes to talk?<\/p>\n<p>No, this is your house.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s Brady&#8217;s home too, so we&#8217;re going to give you a little privacy, okay? Come on, Doc.<\/p>\n<p>[tense music]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Why did Marlena just say she&#8217;s going to give us some privacy? Do they know? Do they know that I got high, Brady? Oh, my God, you didn&#8217;t tell them, did you?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Hello. Where are you going? And your answer better be to the store.<\/p>\n<p>Maggie, please try to understand.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t understand. This night is about me, my daughter, and my granddaughter, and not whatever bad blood is being stirred up between you and Konstantin.<\/p>\n<p>Welcome to our home.<\/p>\n<p>A gracious thank you.<\/p>\n<p>So where are the girls?<\/p>\n<p>Oh, Sarah&#8217;s feeding Victoria in the bedroom.<\/p>\n<p>Okay. Well, I&#8217;m going to join them. You two behave yourself.<\/p>\n<p>[sigh]<\/p>\n<p>You have a lovely home&#8211; so warm and inviting.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you. Let&#8217;s cut the chitchat, shall we?<\/p>\n<p>[dramatic music]<\/p>\n<p>Okay, then. What would you prefer to talk about? Politics, climate change, artificial intelligence and how it is transforming the world?<\/p>\n<p>No, I want to talk about Maggie Horton&#8211; the best person I know, who I care about deeply. So if you do anything to hurt that woman&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Well, Mr. Cook, though I am weary of defending myself to you and other cynical people who are skeptical of my feelings towards Maggie, let me state once again, and unequivocally, and I hope for the last time, I also care very deeply about Maggie. And I would never hurt her, hmm? I am not the man you think I am.<\/p>\n<p>Hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, my goodness. Did I just see pigs fly?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Okay. All right. You got to pick, okay? All right? You got to pick one here. I got to watch&#8211; hey, whoa, hey. Hey now, hey, whoa, watch yourself.<\/p>\n<p>You watch yourself.<\/p>\n<p>Okay. All right. All right, choose now. So Gabby&#8211; she is in prison like she is now, but it&#8217;s, like, for decades, okay? Decades. Or Gabby out of prison, she&#8217;s free&#8230; But you never get to see her again.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s a tough one.<\/p>\n<p>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>So what do you pick?<\/p>\n<p>Set her free. At least I know she&#8217;s safe. We&#8217;re out of wine.<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles] And here&#8217;s another bottle&#8211; convenient.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[laughs]<\/p>\n<p>[reads label in French] Let&#8217;s just open the damn thing up.<\/p>\n<p>All right, you do that. Oops.<\/p>\n<p>[laughs]<\/p>\n<p>I was going to drink that.<\/p>\n<p>Ahh! Let&#8217;s get hammered.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[laughs]<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[snorts]<\/p>\n<p>Somebody snorted. * Somebody snorted *<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for the offer, but I&#8217;ve got a big day tomorrow. And you&#8217;ve got a very early one. We can&#8217;t risk another all-nighter like last night.<\/p>\n<p>Well, I&#8217;d risk an all-nighter with you any night. Just having you stay over here, falling asleep in my arms, and our discussion&#8211; you know, I thought that was, like, a really important one and that maybe we understand each other a little bit better.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, I think we do.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s funny. As we were lying there, all these Seattle memories were just coming flooding back to me. I&#8211;just remembering how in love we were with each other, how much&#8211; how much fun we had.<\/p>\n<p>You said at that time, we both got sick on oysters at that new restaurant, that seafood restaurant? God, definitely not my favorite Seattle memory.<\/p>\n<p>Honestly, I love every memory that I have with you, even that one. Do you remember a few days after that, we went to that bluegrass festival. And the sun was going down. We were walking along the water. And it was cold, you know? And so I put my coat over you. And that was the first time I told you I loved you. It took three long weeks of me saying it before you said it back to me. But when you did, that was the happiest moment of my life.<\/p>\n<p>[romantic music] I meant what I said last night, Steph. I&#8217;m still in love with you.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Please don&#8217;t be upset with me.<\/p>\n<p>Oh.<\/p>\n<p>Listen. I did&#8211;I did tell Marlena. I did.<\/p>\n<p>Brady, why would you do that?<\/p>\n<p>Because I needed&#8211; listen. Listen. I know I shouldn&#8217;t have, and I&#8217;m sorry about that. But I was concerned about you and Tate. And I needed to tell somebody about it.<\/p>\n<p>God, I mean, she already thinks I&#8217;m such a colossal screw up.<\/p>\n<p>No, she&#8217;s a psychiatrist. She understands it. Hey, she understands addiction. She gets it. She doesn&#8217;t judge. She was just concerned. That&#8217;s all. I promise. Theresa, look at me please. Don&#8217;t be upset with me. Sorry.<\/p>\n<p>Okay. Okay. Okay.<\/p>\n<p>Okay.<\/p>\n<p>So you told your stepmother, and she&#8217;s a really good person. And she&#8217;s a psychiatrist, so okay. It&#8217;s okay that you told her. And I&#8217;m sure now she&#8217;s told John too. But he&#8217;s a really good guy, too, so&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>[sigh] Okay.<\/p>\n<p>Theresa, they&#8217;re not going to tell anyone. I swear. I promise.<\/p>\n<p>I know. You&#8217;re right.<\/p>\n<p>[sigh] God. Do you remember when we had our townhouse?<\/p>\n<p>[tender music]<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, how could I forget that?<\/p>\n<p>Do you know that there was one time when I popped over unannounced to&#8211; I don&#8217;t know&#8211; borrow eggs or something. And Marlena answered the door. And it was very obvious that I had interrupted something between the two of them&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Oh, no.<\/p>\n<p>In the middle of the afternoon.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah?<\/p>\n<p>I mean, I should have called before.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, probably. But I&#8217;ll bet you never made that mistake again.<\/p>\n<p>No, I did not.<\/p>\n<p>[laughter]<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s funny.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, but the way they look at each other, it&#8217;s heart-melting.<\/p>\n<p>It really is.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>You know, you and I used to look at each other&#8230; once upon a time.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, we did&#8211; once upon a time. And now you&#8211; now you&#8217;re with Alex. And I really hope that that&#8217;s going well. I do.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t think you do.<\/p>\n<p>I do.<\/p>\n<p>No. I think you wish what I wish&#8211; that you and I could have somehow made it work. That maybe you and I could have been the next John and Marlena.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>I&#8217;m so sorry. I&#8211; I should have resisted the urge to declare my love for you again, especially because I know it makes you uncomfortable. I should have read the room. Just so you know, I&#8217;m not waiting for you to say it back like I was last time.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s hot in here.<\/p>\n<p>Sorry. I know. You know what? I&#8217;m just sort of&#8211; I&#8217;m just talking, talking, talking. You have to go.<\/p>\n<p>Actually&#8230; is that offer of overpriced little liquor bottles and dinner still on the table?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, definitely. Sure.<\/p>\n<p>Good. Because there&#8217;s something we need to discuss.<\/p>\n<p>Uh-oh.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not bad. It&#8217;s about this whole &#8220;friends&#8221; thing.<\/p>\n<p>I know I have trouble with boundaries, obviously. I did it last night. And I&#8217;m doing it again, but I promise that I&#8217;ll stop. Except I keep breaking that promise, don&#8217;t I?<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not that.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>What is it then?<\/p>\n<p>This whole friends thing&#8211; it isn&#8217;t working for me either.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>And then, so when Harris and I, when we came back from London, everything was really great for us. You know? Yeah, like, I was really happy. I was probably the happiest that I have ever been in my entire life maybe. Yeah. And then&#8230; I felt hopeful.<\/p>\n<p>[jazzy music]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>And then Clyde had to come along.<\/p>\n<p>Mm. Damn Clyde Weston.<\/p>\n<p>Damn Clyde Weston.

My clothes are like the rest of my life now&#8211; one, big, hot mess.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Here, put this on.<\/p>\n<p>[laughs]<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s Tripp&#8217;s?<\/p>\n<p>This is the first thing I could find.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s a lady robe. I&#8217;m not wearing a lady robe.<\/p>\n<p>Hey, whoa, whoa, no, no, no. Hey, hey. No, no, don&#8217;t you dare sit on that couch with those wet, stained pants.<\/p>\n<p>Fine.<\/p>\n<p>Hey, put this on. Whoa, hey, what are you&#8211; stop that. Stop it. No, don&#8217;t. Don&#8217;t. Don&#8217;t. Don&#8217;t take off those pants.<\/p>\n<p>I got to. They&#8217;re all wet.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>[exhales] Okay to sit now?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>What do you mean? The friend thing isn&#8217;t&#8230; working for you?<\/p>\n<p>Give me one of those minibar bottles.<\/p>\n<p>[tender music]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>The rum.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Mm.<\/p>\n<p>So&#8230; After our conversation last night&#8230; All I could think about all day today was&#8230; how great it was when we were together in Seattle. Late night talks. How you made me laugh. Not to mention the sex was&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Incredible.<\/p>\n<p>On the floor of your apartment.<\/p>\n<p>Remember that time in Whidbey Island?<\/p>\n<p>At the tulip garden?<\/p>\n<p>I thought they were going to find us.<\/p>\n<p>And just knowing they might made it that much more exciting, right?<\/p>\n<p>For sure.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d like to have more of those moments.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Starting now.<\/p>\n<p>Are you sure?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know if I ever thought we could be the next John and Marlena. Well, they&#8217;ve set the bar pretty high. I don&#8217;t think any couple could reach that. I also think you&#8217;re idealizing what we had a little bit too much. Theresa, we were a hot mess.<\/p>\n<p>We had our good times.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. But yeah, when we were high.<\/p>\n<p>It was more than that.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t&#8211;it wasn&#8217;t&#8211; it wasn&#8217;t really real. We were more addicted to each other.<\/p>\n<p>[somber music]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>I&#8217;m sorry. I&#8217;m sorry.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s okay. That&#8217;s how you remember it. No need to be sorry.<\/p>\n<p>Hold on. Hold on.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>I remember some really nice times too. Some really nice times. But that was then, and we&#8217;re different people now. Aren&#8217;t we?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Well, that was a delicious meal.<\/p>\n<p>Xander is very lucky to have you, Sarah.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, you mean as a cook? No, that was all Xander. He spent the entire afternoon in the kitchen.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, well. Good for you, Xander. I enjoyed the meal very much.<\/p>\n<p>Where did you learn to cook, Xander?<\/p>\n<p>My mom, yeah. Not only did she teach me a bunch of great recipes, but the most important ingredient in any meal is patience.<\/p>\n<p>She sounds like a wise woman. How old were you when you left Edinburgh?<\/p>\n<p>Oh, you were raised in Scotland. I didn&#8217;t know that. I know you only from your reputation in Greece and when you did &#8220;business&#8221; with my father. But you&#8217;re Scottish, eh? Oh, that explains a lot.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s that supposed to mean?<\/p>\n<p>Well, I have always found the Scottish people to be&#8211; mind you, this is only from my personal experience&#8211; to be cold and harsh, not to mention miserly.<\/p>\n<p>[laughs]<\/p>\n<p>Xander.<\/p>\n<p>You see, I was born and raised in Athena, the seat of the Greco-Roman Empire. And when I was a boy, I would scamper up the steps of the Acropolis two at a time. I learned to love, to dance, to debate. And by virtue of the teachings of my elders, my parents, and by the great Hellenistic culture, I learned the value and importance of being a man&#8217;s man.<\/p>\n<p>A man&#8217;s man?<\/p>\n<p>Yes.<\/p>\n<p>Like a strong, proud man who would never take advantage of a recently widowed and vulnerable woman.<\/p>\n<p>Xander.<\/p>\n<p>A man&#8217;s man as in honest, someone who would never deceive and manipulate in order to live off said woman.<\/p>\n<p>I resent those comments deeply, Mr. Cook. But I choose to take the high road to say only, you greatly underestimate me, young man.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, no. No one could ever underestimate you.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, dear God.<\/p>\n<p>Maggie, it&#8217;s time to go.<\/p>\n<p>No, it&#8217;s not time to go.<\/p>\n<p>I will not stay anywhere where I am so greatly disrespected.<\/p>\n<p>Well, fine. Order a car. I&#8217;ll see you at home.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Thank you for such a memorable evening, Sarah.<\/p>\n<p>[tense music]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>These people, this town.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m so sorry, Maggie.<\/p>\n<p>No, I&#8217;m sorry. I shouldn&#8217;t have brought him here. What was I thinking?<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s okay, mama. It&#8217;s okay.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Hey, you two. Doc and I are going to shut it down for the night.<\/p>\n<p>Okay. Well, good night then.<\/p>\n<p>Theresa, it was nice to see you.<\/p>\n<p>Good night. See you, buddy.<\/p>\n<p>Hang on. Sorry. Before you go, I just wanted to&#8211; I know that Brady told you about my slip, Marlena. And John, I assume that you know too. And I just&#8211; well, I just want to say, thank God for Brady, the way he helped me get through it. I am back on track. I am going to meetings every day. And I am determined to never, ever let this happen ever again.<\/p>\n<p>Well, Theresa, we are just really glad that you are finally getting the support you need.<\/p>\n<p>And we&#8217;re here for you.<\/p>\n<p>[gentle music]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>I gotta head out.<\/p>\n<p>What? Now?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, a new Black Badge client.<\/p>\n<p>Okay, I should get going too.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll walk you out, Theresa.<\/p>\n<p>Okay.<\/p>\n<p>John, be careful.<\/p>\n<p>Always, sweetheart.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>I shouldn&#8217;t have forced Konstantin on you. And after such a delicious meal we had, I&#8217;m sorry it went so badly.<\/p>\n<p>No, Maggie, it&#8217;s on me. I should have kept my mouth shut. It&#8217;s just my stubborn Scottish side and my proud Greek side ran smack into each other. And boom, I just&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Well, it&#8217;s all over now.<\/p>\n<p>Well, not for your mom. She&#8217;s going to see him when she gets back to the house.<\/p>\n<p>Listen. Like I said to you repeatedly, I&#8217;m a big girl. I can handle Konstantin.<\/p>\n<p>Are you sure, mom? Because he was angry when he left.<\/p>\n<p>And so was I. I can handle Konstantin. And then, I really should be going. I&#8217;d like to sneak one last kiss from that sweet little angel first. Okay.<\/p>\n<p>I know. I know.<\/p>\n<p>I mean, why did you have to provoke him in the first place? What was the point?<\/p>\n<p>What am I supposed to do, Sarah? Just sit there while he tells me that all Scottish people are harsh and mean and cold and cheap?<\/p>\n<p>Miserly was the word he used.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s the same thing. Look, I don&#8217;t&#8211; I don&#8217;t know what Maggie&#8217;s thinking now. But she was clearly upset by all that. Maybe she&#8217;s starting to see the light, that she&#8217;s beginning to realize that this man who&#8217;s basically living with her now is very bad news.<\/p>\n<p>Well, I wish you wouldn&#8217;t characterize him that way. I feel like the jury&#8217;s still out on that guy. But look, whatever his flaws are, I think that she does need him right now. So I wish you would accept that.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Okay. You know, it&#8217;s getting late. And I should go to bed. You should get out of here. Go call a cab.<\/p>\n<p>[sultry music]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Do you know that phone call this morning?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>You really got me with all that sexy talk.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. I know.<\/p>\n<p>You, hand on your back, on your bed, rubbing hot oil all over your body.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>I was thinking&#8230; Maybe&#8230; I can help you finish the job. You know?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>I put you on your back.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>I rub the rest of that hot oil all over your naked body.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>[intense music]<\/p>\n<p>[both panting] &#8211; &#8220;He kissed her with fierce intensity, &#8220;his tongue exploring her mouth as his hands touched her, caressing her curves.&#8221;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>What if Tripp comes home?<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t worry about it. They&#8217;re out late. What?<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m gonna take the chance. &#8211; &#8220;As he lifted her up, she gasped, &#8220;her breath ragged, her legs wrapping around him &#8220;as he pressed her against the wall. &#8220;She clung to him, breathing in heavy gasps as they both moved towards the edge of pleasure.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>[gentle music]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Oh, well. Sorry, I&#8217;m going to&#8211; I&#8217;m going to turn in. How about you?<\/p>\n<p>No, I think I&#8217;m going to stay up and watch a little movie&#8211; maybe &#8220;Casablanca.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Oh, you&#8217;re in the mood for romance, huh? And I noticed that you and Theresa were getting along. Well, I&#8217;m glad to see that.<\/p>\n<p>Well, we&#8217;ll always be linked by Tate.<\/p>\n<p>That bond will never break, you know.<\/p>\n<p>[somber music] Good night, Brady.<\/p>\n<p>Good night.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>[tense music]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Take a hike, Konstantin. This place isn&#8217;t safe for you right here.<\/p>\n<p>You are worried about me. How thoughtful. You must be meeting someone dangerous. Oh, what am I saying? Of course, you are, Mr. Private Eye.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>You don&#8217;t want to mess with me. What do you want?<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for coming.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Sit down, Mr. Black.
