Every time the s version of &#8220;Pride and Prejudice&#8221; comes on, I just&#8211; I have to watch. I mean, don&#8217;t you think it&#8217;s just the most amazing love story?<\/p>\n<p>I mean&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>How the relationship between Darcy and Elizabeth just develops, and how they&#8217;re so drawn to each other right from the start, but misconceptions get in the way?<\/p>\n<p>As they often do.<\/p>\n<p>True.<\/p>\n<p>Mm.<\/p>\n<p>But yet, they grew to understand that judging from first impressions isn&#8217;t always the best way to go and that sometimes if you just wait it out and just give the person a chance to reveal who they really are.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, maybe in the movies, but in real life, I&#8217;m not so sure.<\/p>\n<p>Come on, Alex. When you and I first met, I was a hot mess.<\/p>\n<p>Aw.<\/p>\n<p>And then you&#8211; you really took the time to know me. And look at us now.<\/p>\n<p>[soft dramatic music]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>You&#8217;ve been twirling that same piece of pasta around your fork for the past five minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, well, it&#8217;s not like I have much of an appetite right now. Do we really have to have this conversation with her?<\/p>\n<p>Tripp, we already decided. OK? We can&#8217;t keep walking around on eggshells. And besides, it&#8217;s out of respect for your mother that you have to&#8211; that wehave to talk to her.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Talk to me about what?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>I am all ears.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[sighs]<\/p>\n<p>[groans]<\/p>\n<p>[items clattering] Ow! Damn it! You got to be kidding me.<\/p>\n<p>[huffs]<\/p>\n<p>[dramatic music]<\/p>\n<p>Get out! Get out!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>What the hell are you doing? You scared the heck out of me!<\/p>\n<p>What the&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Put the gun down!<\/p>\n<p>What are you doing down here?<\/p>\n<p>[groans]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Oh, my gosh. I love her little backstroke with all the kicking and splashing.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s like she was intentionally trying to make us laugh with all the splashing. Right? You could see it in her eyes.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. Well, she&#8217;s obviously inherited your slapstick sense of humor.<\/p>\n<p>Mm. Well, could be. I admit I am a splasher from way back.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[laughs] Well, whoever she got it from, she&#8217;s just&#8211; she&#8217;s just so sweet and funny. And she&#8217;s more and more aware of the world around her each day.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a really special time, isn&#8217;t it?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. I&#8217;m really, really glad that we get to experience this together.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Gee, Charlotte. You know, I thought after you won five games of Fish, you&#8217;d be tuckered out.<\/p>\n<p>I want a chance to win. Let&#8217;s play again.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[sighs]<\/p>\n<p>Hey! What&#8217;s going on down here? I told you guys to go upstairs and go to bed.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re not tired, Daddy.<\/p>\n<p>Not tired? You could barely keep your eyes open the last game of Go Fish. Come on. Let&#8217;s go. Go brush your teeth.<\/p>\n<p>I already did. See?<\/p>\n<p>[bell rings]<\/p>\n<p>Sweetheart, you really should listen to your father.<\/p>\n<p>OK. Can you tell us one story?<\/p>\n<p>Well, I know that Uncle Doug is upstairs waiting to tell you a story or read one to you. But I thought&#8230; maybe we could make it a two-story night tonight.<\/p>\n<p>Yay! Should I go grab you a book?<\/p>\n<p>No, no, because this is a story that I know by heart. And I think you both are grown up enough to understand it. So make yourselves comfortable, kiddos. It&#8217;s going to be really good. Relax, sweetie pie.<\/p>\n<p>[soft tender 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>Come on, Alex. When you and I first met, you didn&#8217;t really think we were going to end up together, did you?<\/p>\n<p>Probably not, but I also never voted against it either.<\/p>\n<p>OK. Good answer.<\/p>\n<p>Mm.<\/p>\n<p>Well, now we are indeed together.<\/p>\n<p>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>And tomorrow is Valentine&#8217;s Day. So&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. So OK. My bad. Um&#8230; all right, babe, I never really took you for the type of person that gets worked up over Valentine&#8217;s Day. So I do admit I didn&#8217;t plan anything very crazy for us.<\/p>\n<p>What? Are you&#8211;what? Are you kidding? I love Valentine&#8217;s Day. I mean, that is when it&#8217;s with somebody that I really care about.<\/p>\n<p>You care about me?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>Mm.<\/p>\n<p>So I don&#8217;t know. Maybe at this point, it&#8217;s probably too late to make a reservation somewhere. So what do you think? Should we just stay in?<\/p>\n<p>I think I&#8217;m down to do whatever makes you happy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles] News flash, Alex. Being with you is what makes me happy.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>So what do you want to discuss with me?<\/p>\n<p>Tripp, we need to get this out in the open.<\/p>\n<p>OK. Yep. You&#8217;re right. You&#8217;re right. We do. Um&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>[soft jazz music playing]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>I&#8217;m waiting.<\/p>\n<p>Mom, last night when we walked in on you and Stefan, it was really awkward.<\/p>\n<p>OK. Yeah. So this is what this is about. OK, listen. I know that you weren&#8217;t thrilled to see us together. And I am sorry.<\/p>\n<p>No. No, Mom. There&#8217;s nothing to be sorry about. No, I, uh&#8211;I realize now that I was out of line. And I shouldn&#8217;t have given you a hard time about it.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s OK, Tripp.<\/p>\n<p>No, no, no it&#8217;s not. It&#8217;s not. I acted like an immature jerk. And you did not deserve that. And Wendy and I may not think that Stefan is the best choice for you. But if we&#8217;re all going to be living under the same roof, then we need to respect each other&#8217;s boundaries. Like I said, Stefan isn&#8217;t my first choice but&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>The heart wants what the heart wants. Emily Dickinson&#8217;s most famous quote. Yeah?<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m impressed you know that.<\/p>\n<p>Well, I did take a poetry course in college. And she was&#8211; she was my favorite. She still is. Anyway, listen, I&#8217;m so glad you guys aren&#8217;t upset anymore. And it really, it means the world to me.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>You scared the hell out of me.<\/p>\n<p>Well, right back at you.<\/p>\n<p>What are you doing down here anyway?<\/p>\n<p>I was hungry, OK?<\/p>\n<p>Oh, OK. Well, you were supposed to stay in your room. What if someone saw you?<\/p>\n<p>I was careful.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[scoffs] Well, not so careful that your own mother didn&#8217;t pull a gun on you.<\/p>\n<p>The pub is closed. Nobody&#8217;s here. It&#8217;s no big deal, all right? You worry too much.<\/p>\n<p>Well, clearly, one of us has to do that.<\/p>\n<p>[soft tense music]<\/p>\n<p>Once upon a time, in a land called Salem, there stood an enchanted house, Horton House, that had sheltered its family for generations. And you two are part of its magic. So, ready to hear a little history?<\/p>\n<p>Ready.<\/p>\n<p>Ready. Great.<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles] A long, long time ago&#8230;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>There was a fine young doctor named Thomas Horton and his lady wife, Alice. They came to live in this grand old house. They&#8217;re your great-great-grandparents. They raised all of their children here. And one of their children was named Bill. Now he was a doctor, too. And he fell in love with this&#8211; with this lady fair and wise. Her name was Laura. And they were blessed to have a beautiful baby girl, so beautiful they named her Jennifer Rose.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Your grandma. What do you think happened next?<\/p>\n<p>What?<\/p>\n<p>Well, she grew up. And she fell in love with this tall, dashing man who made her laugh named Jack Deveraux. And he is your grandpa.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Then they were blessed with another baby girl even more beautiful, and they named her Abigail Johanna.<\/p>\n<p>Our mommy!<\/p>\n<p>Your mommy. They gave her the old-fashioned name to honor Grandma Alice&#8217;s mother, Abigail, and Jack&#8217;s mother, Josephine.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>There&#8217;ll be a quiz on this later.<\/p>\n<p>Wait, really?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[laughing] No, not really. Not really. Uh&#8211; Julie is joking.<\/p>\n<p>Whew.<\/p>\n<p>Well, when your mommy was a little girl like you, she loved being in this house. Sometimes she&#8217;d go into&#8211; into Grandpa Tom&#8217;s library, climb up on his lap, and just beg him to tell her a story just like you.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>And Grandma Alice, best grandma in the whole world, because she gave all of us her heart. And sometimes when we were naughty, she&#8217;d be very disappointed. Aunt Julie was often naughty. And Grandma Alice would say, Julie, that&#8217;s not the way we do.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Grandpa Tom was a very great man. He had a soul full of kindness. He was the only person who could calm us all down in times of chaos.<\/p>\n<p>I really wish I could have met Tom and Alice.<\/p>\n<p>They would have loved you so much, not just for your good qualities, Chad, but because&#8230; because you loved Abigail so.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>And so children, this magical house was always full of joy even in tearful times because it was a house built on love. And that&#8217;s a tradition, the heart and tradition of love and support. And that&#8217;s yours in good times and in bad. You can count on that. I can remember when I was about your size. Coming home from school, I&#8217;d open that front door, open the door, smell these wonderful smells coming out of Alice&#8217;s kitchen. The magic donuts.<\/p>\n<p>Can we make some of her donuts now?<\/p>\n<p>Nice try.<\/p>\n<p>[laughter] Nice try, Thomas. No, no. But I&#8217;ll make us a fresh batch tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>Donuts?<\/p>\n<p>[laughter] This house is&#8211; it really is a blessing for us.<\/p>\n<p>For all of us.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>We make a great team, don&#8217;t we?<\/p>\n<p>We do indeed.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles] You know, you really should get out of those wet clothes.<\/p>\n<p>[soft dramatic music] I mean I can help you.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;re right, I&#8211; I really should get out of these wet clothes. And, um&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, you should.<\/p>\n<p>And, uh, go for a run. Yeah. That sounds good. Go for a quick run.<\/p>\n<p>[tense jazzy music]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Really? A run? Right now?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>[exhales deeply]<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s good to see the Bistro busy again.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. I know it&#8217;s been tough for you guys since New Year&#8217;s Eve.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, yeah. It was a real struggle, but Stephanie&#8217;s got a great PR plan in place. And it&#8217;s getting us back on track.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. It looks like it&#8217;s already working.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, yeah? It is actually. It&#8217;s a big relief.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s hard to believe what&#8217;s going on in our little town. I know firsthand what&#8217;s happening. I see it every day with the amount of OD patients coming in in crazy numbers.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. Yeah, well, it is heartbreaking to see what&#8217;s going on in Salem. But I got a feeling it&#8217;s all going to turn around real soon.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, yep. That&#8217;s definitely the running attire.<\/p>\n<p>Excuse me?<\/p>\n<p>Well, it&#8217;s just my observation, but you have a very specific running outfit, which is completely different than the one that you wear for weightlifting and cardio at the gym.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, yeah. That is true. I mean, my running clothes have to be able to breathe, and wick moisture, and keep me warm when it&#8217;s cool, and cool when it&#8217;s hot, so yeah, I&#8217;m kind of picky about them.<\/p>\n<p>Clearly. And I don&#8217;t think that this obsession is limited to your running clothes. It&#8217;s like you have all these different uniforms for all these different activities in your life. Like work, running, socializing, relaxing.<\/p>\n<p>I like to be properly attired for all occasions.<\/p>\n<p>But what would happen, and now hear me out. What would happen if, God forbid, they discontinued all the fancy designer shirts that you wear to work?<\/p>\n<p>Oh, perish the thought. I mean, when I pop on one of my Eton shirts, I&#8217;m in work mode. But when I put on this&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Uniform.<\/p>\n<p>Fine, this uniform, my body flips a switch, and it&#8217;s time to go and run. I believe the psychobabble term for it is fashion OCD.<\/p>\n<p>Mm. Well, whatever it&#8217;s called, it&#8217;s just one of the many endearing qualities that make you you.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Mm.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[sighs]<\/p>\n<p>Mm! Want some?<\/p>\n<p>No. I&#8217;m not hungry.<\/p>\n<p>Come on. I&#8217;ll split it with you.<\/p>\n<p>No. I don&#8217;t want&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Abby.<\/p>\n<p>Lucas, I don&#8217;t want any.<\/p>\n<p>[door opens]<\/p>\n<p>Come on.<\/p>\n<p>God, Lucas, you got a death wish?<\/p>\n<p>What?<\/p>\n<p>OK, look, it&#8217;s OK.<\/p>\n<p>No. No, it&#8217;s not, OK, Kate. Him being out in the public like this is a major security risk. That&#8217;s it. Snack time&#8217;s over. Let&#8217;s go back upstairs.<\/p>\n<p>Come on. Really?<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s go.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, hold on. Hold on just a little.<\/p>\n<p>[tense music]<\/p>\n<p>OK. So we&#8217;ll have dinner in. We&#8217;ll order takeout.<\/p>\n<p>Mm?<\/p>\n<p>What do you want to do for the rest of the day?<\/p>\n<p>Hmm. Let&#8217;s see. Um&#8230; It&#8217;ll be really nice to take a little morning stroll, maybe into town. And then we can get some coffee and maybe some pastries at Sweet Bits.<\/p>\n<p>Sounds good.<\/p>\n<p>Mm?<\/p>\n<p>Maybe we can work for a few hours from home, too.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. Fine.<\/p>\n<p>Good.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m good with that. I just would like to go to a meeting after work.<\/p>\n<p>How did your meeting go today?<\/p>\n<p>It was good.<\/p>\n<p>Good.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. Actually, Brady was there, too.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Brady? What the hell was Brady doing there?<\/p>\n<p>All right.<\/p>\n<p>Hey. Careful with him. You know, he&#8217;s still recovering.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, which is another reason you shouldn&#8217;t be taking a risk like that. If anybody saw you, you&#8217;re a sitting duck. You can&#8217;t defend yourself.<\/p>\n<p>Harris, come on, man. I&#8217;ve been cooped up in this room day after day. What do you want me to do? For what? I mean, have you and your cronies even made one iota of progress on this case?<\/p>\n<p>I get it. I get it. You&#8217;re frustrated. It&#8217;s going to be over soon. I just need you to hang in there just a little while longer. Can you do that?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>And now, Thomas and Charlotte, it really is time for bed.<\/p>\n<p>Can you tell us one more story?<\/p>\n<p>No, no, no, no. You have school tomorrow, remember? And you want to be well-rested for your Valentine&#8217;s Day party so come on.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not tired yet.<\/p>\n<p>Sweetie pie, Uncle Doug is waiting to tell you a story. Why don&#8217;t you find your very favorite book and bring it to him? OK? Night-night.<\/p>\n<p>Come on.<\/p>\n<p>Sleep tight.<\/p>\n<p>[soft tender music]<\/p>\n<p>Come on. I love you.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>[both chuckle softly]<\/p>\n<p>Oh, sweetheart, we have to cherish these moments. You know, before long, they&#8217;ll be in their growing-up years. They&#8217;ll have their little friends. And they&#8217;ll have all their activities. And they&#8217;re not going to ask us to tell them a story.<\/p>\n<p>Time really does fly by, doesn&#8217;t it?<\/p>\n<p>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>You know, it&#8217;s, um&#8230; life though, it&#8217;s been&#8211; felt&#8230; a bit more normal lately. Yeah. You know, I mean the kids, you know, they miss their mom, of course, but&#8230; they don&#8217;t cry about it as much. And they&#8217;re doing a lot better in school. They&#8217;re doing better and better in general. And we have you and Doug to thank for that. So thank you.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s what we&#8217;re here for. That&#8217;s what families are for.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>[chuckles softly]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>You don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s a little late to be running?<\/p>\n<p>Well, sometimes a little night air is exactly what I need&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>[soft dramatic music] To push me to work out harder.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>I know a hard workout. Granted, no night air. But it wouldn&#8217;t require you to leave.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>So Brady just happened to be there at your meeting?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. He got there a little bit after I did.<\/p>\n<p>Ah. So he&#8217;s spying on you.<\/p>\n<p>What? Alex, no. He didn&#8217;t even know I was going to be there.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[scoffs]<\/p>\n<p>Listen. Brady went there for the same reason that I did.<\/p>\n<p>Mm.<\/p>\n<p>[soft dramatic music] Look. This is a hour coin. You get one of these when you&#8217;ve been sober for a day. And then after a month, a year, two years, and so on, and so on, and you get a different coin. And over the years, when I would feel myself slipping into self-destructive thoughts, I would&#8230; grip on to this coin like a life preserver. Like I&#8217;m doing right now. That&#8217;s how it works. You show up just like Brady did, just like I did. And you&#8217;re there for each other one day at a time. Brady needed that meeting just as much as I did.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>So did you get the support you needed today?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, definitely.<\/p>\n<p>Good. Yet you still think you want to go to another meeting tomorrow?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. I do.<\/p>\n<p>[soft dramatic music] Alex. Addiction is&#8211; it&#8217;s a lifelong disease. I would think that&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles softly] You would have read about that and you would know that. Especially since your roommate is a recovering addict.<\/p>\n<p>No, did. I did. I read a fair amount about it. Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>OK, then I would assume that you&#8217;d also know that somebody who is struggling with addiction&#8230; has this constant voice in their head that&#8217;s telling them that if they just get high&#8230; that all their worries and anxiety will just go away.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>And when I go to these meetings, I&#8217;m able to quiet that voice.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Right. I understand that.<\/p>\n<p>I mean, there are people in my group who are , years sober and they still go to regular meetings.<\/p>\n<p>What about you? Do you think you&#8217;ll be going to meetings for the rest of your life?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. Most likely. Because I have to be vigilant every day and accept that I am&#8230; I&#8217;m an addict. And I have to constantly quiet that voice in my head.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Are you going to be able to accept that about me?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Sorry. I had to take that call. So wait, do you guys have Valentine&#8217;s plans?<\/p>\n<p>Oh, well, we&#8217;re definitely doing the geocaching event.<\/p>\n<p>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, yeah. You know, I heard about that event. But all right, listen, I might be a little older. But can you explain what geocaching is exactly? I don&#8217;t&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Oh, it&#8217;s like a&#8211; think of it as a treasure hunt with a tech twist.<\/p>\n<p>Hmm. Well put.<\/p>\n<p>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>So a bunch of items will be hidden around town. And participants will be using an app to try to find them as quickly as possible. So it&#8217;s a race.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. But the item you find may not be like a tangible object. It could just be a location where you have to complete a task or answer a trivia question.<\/p>\n<p>Hmm. So I guess the main objective of the whole thing is just to bring the community together?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. Exactly. It&#8217;s something that families can do together, or friends or couples, you know, whoever just wants to join in and celebrate the day together.<\/p>\n<p>Hmm. Nice. Well, you know, we could definitely use something uplifting like that in the town right now. We could all use a reason to smile.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[sighs] Lucas, we&#8217;re all doing our best. OK? With any luck, this whole thing will be over soon, especially now that the article in &#8220;The Spectator&#8221; dropped.<\/p>\n<p>The one about the drug epidemic. Where I was the unnamed source.<\/p>\n<p>What?<\/p>\n<p>[Harris sighs] Are you kidding me? When did you talk to reporters? No, no, no, no. Stop! No, no. What were you thinking of, talking to reporters?<\/p>\n<p>I had the same reaction initially, Kate, because your son, without my knowledge, thought it&#8217;d be a great idea to call Chad DiMera over and have a little chat.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, my God, Lucas.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t worry about it. Relax. Everything&#8217;s going to be fine, all right? I trust Chad. I trust Everett. They&#8217;re not going to give up their source. They wouldn&#8217;t do that.<\/p>\n<p>[suspenseful music]<\/p>\n<p>[Kate sighs]<\/p>\n<p>You know, I have always wondered what was in that cabinet.<\/p>\n<p>Well, this is Grandpa Tom&#8217;s special cognac. It was brought to him by a grateful patient all the way from France. And on great occasions, it would appear from nowhere, and he&#8217;d pour us just a little sip. So we could toast.<\/p>\n<p>Well, I&#8217;m honored that you feel this is a worthy enough occasion for Tom&#8217;s special cognac.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, eminently worthy because we&#8217;re drinking to family, and family is what the Hortons are all about.<\/p>\n<p>To family.<\/p>\n<p>[glasses clink]<\/p>\n<p>[soft dramatic music]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>I think we both could do with some good old-fashioned adult time. Don&#8217;t you agree?<\/p>\n<p>Actually, I&#8217;m finding it very difficult to disagree.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Then don&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Ah, Sarah, I&#8211; I really do need to get in some road time. And right now would be the perfect opportunity&#8211;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Xander, please stay.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Alex, you have been so supportive. And I don&#8217;t mean to put you on the spot, but I need you to understand how important my recovery is to me.<\/p>\n<p>[soft dramatic music] Especially because I really have to be strong. For my son.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>And even though Tate doesn&#8217;t know that I slipped, I still feel like I&#8217;ve let him down. And I cannot let that happen again. I can&#8217;t ever let that happen again.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;re a good mom, Theresa.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, God. I&#8217;m a lucky mom. Tate is a great kid. And with all my dumb, stupid mistakes, he still puts up with me. He still even loves me most of the time. And&#8230; I cannot ever undermine that connection that I have to him.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>He is&#8211; he&#8217;s my one constant in my life that gives me hope for the future, you know? As corny as that sounds, it&#8217;s&#8211;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>What? What are you thinking?<\/p>\n<p>[Alex sighs]<\/p>\n<p>I was just thinking that connection&#8230; between a parent and their kids, how it can literally change overnight.<\/p>\n<p>[suspenseful music]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Well, I have a few things I need to wrap up before the big day tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles] So I&#8217;m just going to let you two enjoy the rest of your evening together.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m glad we got to talk, Mom.<\/p>\n<p>Me, too. Love you, honey.<\/p>\n<p>Love you, too.<\/p>\n<p>[smooches]<\/p>\n<p>[soft jazz music playing]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Are you OK?<\/p>\n<p>Definitely. Thank you for encouraging me to sort things out with her.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m so glad you did. So what do you want to do after the big Cupid event tomorrow? Dinner and a movie maybe?<\/p>\n<p>Maybe.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Do you already have something in mind?<\/p>\n<p>Actually, I do.<\/p>\n<p>[Wendy chuckles] All right, see, I&#8217;m taking off work tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>Uh-huh?<\/p>\n<p>And I thought I would start the day off by making you an incredible breakfast in bed, French toast and bacon.<\/p>\n<p>Oh. Well, I&#8217;m liking this plan so far.<\/p>\n<p>Mm-hmm. And then after Steph&#8217;s event, I figured we could come home, change, and then head out for a night of magic and dancing.<\/p>\n<p>Magic and dancing? So like magic in the air?<\/p>\n<p>No. Like a real life magic show. There&#8217;s a pop-up magic lounge happening tomorrow night, and it&#8217;s very hush-hush. I was able to score some tickets.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[chuckling] You definitely put some thought into this.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. And then I figured afterwards, we could dance under the stars on the rooftop and maybe a nightcap of that Amaro you like so much.<\/p>\n<p>That sounds perfect.<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles softly] I&#8217;m sure this Valentine&#8217;s Day will be one to remember.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>[Wendy chuckles]<\/p>\n<p>So&#8230; you forget about going out in that nasty cold night air&#8230; And just stay here with me.<\/p>\n<p>Sarah, I&#8217;m sorry, but&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>[somber dramatic music] I really do need that run right now.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>[phone beeps]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>[Xander sighs]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>[baby fussing] Oh.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, no. I got it. I got it.<\/p>\n<p>OK. Well, I won&#8217;t be long. Don&#8217;t wait up.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>[door closes]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[sighs]<\/p>\n<p>Lucas, I just got you back. If anything happens to you&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Mom, if what I said in that article even saves one person, it&#8217;s worth the risk.<\/p>\n<p>[phone beeps]<\/p>\n<p>I got to go. You stay here in this room for the rest of the night.<\/p>\n<p>All right. I will. I guess I&#8217;ve had enough drama for one night anyway, but keep it down when you come back in. I&#8217;m going to try to get some sleep, OK?<\/p>\n<p>[soft tense music]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>[tense music]<\/p>\n<p>[clears throat]<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for sharing the story of this home with me and the kids tonight. It was amazing and really lifted my spirits. I mean, you always do, no matter what story you&#8217;re&#8211; what story you&#8217;re telling me.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, you&#8217;re too kind. You know, I love to talk about the family. I love to talk about us as we were then. Before so many of them went away forever.<\/p>\n<p>Me, too.<\/p>\n<p>You understand.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, I do.<\/p>\n<p>Chad, when I look in your children&#8217;s eyes&#8230; I see all the love that you showered on Abigail.<\/p>\n<p>I can see it all the time as well. You know, I do feel her presence here in this home.<\/p>\n<p>I feel it, too.<\/p>\n<p>When I&#8217;m in this home&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>[delicate dramatic music]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>I feel like I can breathe. Knowing that the kids are in the right place. And that they&#8217;re safe. And you know, me too. And it&#8217;s like we&#8217;re home.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Honey, you are. You&#8217;re home.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>[soft tense music]<\/p>\n<p>[Xander panting]<\/p>\n<p>So does Doug have a hot date cooked up for the two of you for Valentine&#8217;s Day?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[laughing] Oh, my. Not that I&#8217;m aware of. But he loves surprises, so I&#8217;ll keep hoping. How about you? How about you and the kiddies?<\/p>\n<p>Well, we&#8217;re going to attend the geocache event if the kids haven&#8217;t crashed from all the candy they&#8217;re going to eat at the Valentine&#8217;s Day party.<\/p>\n<p>They&#8217;ll be up for it, sweetie. They&#8217;ve got energy to burn.<\/p>\n<p>[ominous music]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>And here we are.<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles]<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s this for?<\/p>\n<p>[Wendy chuckles]<\/p>\n<p>Well, on this Valentine&#8217;s Eve, I thought that I&#8217;d propose a toast.<\/p>\n<p>Oh.<\/p>\n<p>[Ava chuckles]<\/p>\n<p>To love. What? Too on the nose?<\/p>\n<p>It works for me.<\/p>\n<p>Me, too.<\/p>\n<p>Well, OK then. As long as there is love in our hearts, there is hope for a new day&#8230; and the promise for happiness to come.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll drink to that.<\/p>\n<p>Hear, hear. To love.<\/p>\n<p>To love.<\/p>\n<p>To love.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>[tense music]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[sighs]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>[sighs]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>He left his phone.<\/p>\n<p>[phone beeps]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Is what done?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>OK, I&#8217;m going to shoot off a couple of emails before I go to bed, but do you need any help straightening up out here?<\/p>\n<p>No. There&#8217;s not much to do.<\/p>\n<p>OK.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll be in in a minute.<\/p>\n<p>OK.<\/p>\n<p>[Alex sighs]<\/p>\n<p>[door closes]<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[sighs]<\/p>\n<p>[sighs]<\/p>\n<p>If you put your jacket back in the closet and just&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>[soft dramatic music]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>[Theresa gasps]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Ava, where&#8230; are you?<\/p>\n<p>[dramatic music]<\/p>\n<p>[Harris sighs] You.
