It&#8217;s fine.\u00a0 I wish you two lovebirds all the best.\u00a0 But, Holly, just a heads-up&#8211;\u00a0 when you finally do give it up for him,\u00a0 don&#8217;t be surprised if he calls out my name.<\/p>\n<p>What?<\/p>\n<p>OK, um, just, let&#8217;s&#8211;\u00a0 let&#8217;s go.<\/p>\n<p>Kristen, I didn&#8217;t return your phone calls\u00a0 because I am not at liberty to update you\u00a0 on Sarah&#8217;s condition.\u00a0 You are not family.<\/p>\n<p>Uh, hello?\u00a0 Didn&#8217;t I just point out that I was the one\u00a0 who provided the miracle drug?\u00a0 I mean, don&#8217;t you think that I&#8211;\u00a0 I have the right to be kept in the loop?<\/p>\n<p>Actually, no, I don&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>I got this.\u00a0 You know what?\u00a0 There&#8217;s been no improvement yet.<\/p>\n<p>Nothing? Really?<\/p>\n<p>Well, on the most recent test,\u00a0 there has been no evidence of a reduced swelling\u00a0 around Sarah&#8217;s spine.<\/p>\n<p>OK, well, has she tried walking yet?<\/p>\n<p>No. No, we haven&#8217;t pushed that\u00a0 because we don&#8217;t want to further her injury.<\/p>\n<p>OK, no offense, Kayla, but that drug,\u00a0 there is no need to be cautious.\u00a0 You gotta take the bull by the horn,\u00a0 and that is exactly what I am going to do.<\/p>\n<p>Oh!<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t! Don&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>Well, this is the last thing that Sarah needs.\u00a0 I mean, that woman is a lunatic.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, she is.\u00a0 But Xander is in there, and he can handle her.\u00a0 Yes, she did hand over the serum with no strings attached,\u00a0 so I&#8217;m willing to give her a certain amount of grace.<\/p>\n<p>You are a very good woman, Maggie.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, well, be careful what you say,\u00a0 because if Kristen has got Sarah&#8217;s hopes up for nothing,\u00a0 I&#8217;m going to tear that Jezebel from limb to limb.<\/p>\n<p>You are going to walk again, Sarah.\u00a0 I&#8211;I feel it in my soul.\u00a0 We just need to give it some time, yeah?\u00a0 [door clicks]<\/p>\n<p>All right!\u00a0 Come on, you two.

I&#8217;m rewarding myself.<\/p>\n<p>For what?<\/p>\n<p>For not committing murder right here in the square.<\/p>\n<p>OK. What happened?<\/p>\n<p>Oh, you haven&#8217;t heard the good news?\u00a0 Tate and Holly are back together.<\/p>\n<p>All right.<\/p>\n<p>Huh, awesome.\u00a0 Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>So, that was pretty awkward, huh,\u00a0 running into Sophia like that.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. Yeah, it was.<\/p>\n<p>I kind of feel bad for her.\u00a0 I mean, she&#8217;s obviously really hurt.\u00a0 But still, what she said, that was just weird and harsh,\u00a0 saying not to be surprised if you, like,\u00a0 call out her name while we&#8217;re in bed?\u00a0 Does she really think she has that much of a hold on you?\u00a0 [soft dramatic music]<\/p>\n<p>Uh, that&#8217;s not what she meant.\u00a0 She said that because that&#8217;s what I did to her.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Oh, man.\u00a0 Tate, he did that? He actually&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Yes, Tate did that.\u00a0 He actually, yeah, called her Holly\u00a0 while they were in bed,\u00a0 which means he&#8217;s obviously not over her.\u00a0 So why did he string Sophia along?<\/p>\n<p>Ava.<\/p>\n<p>Hmm?<\/p>\n<p>I&#8211;I know that he didn&#8217;t mean to do that.\u00a0 I think he was trying to give their relationship a shot,\u00a0 and I think he felt like he owed it to Sophia.<\/p>\n<p>Because they slept together, which shouldn&#8217;t have happened\u00a0 if he was hung up on someone else.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t disagree with you at all, but he&#8217;s a teenager.<\/p>\n<p>Oh. Oh, OK.\u00a0 That&#8217;s a good excuse. Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>No, no, no. Hold on.<\/p>\n<p>Wait, wait, wait. Hear me out.\u00a0 It&#8217;s not an excuse, OK?\u00a0 But you can&#8217;t expect Tate&#8211; he&#8217;s a teenager&#8211;\u00a0 to be completely self-aware\u00a0 and make the most mature decisions\u00a0 when it comes to his love life.\u00a0 Hey, we&#8217;re not teenagers anymore,\u00a0 and I think we&#8217;ve screwed up in that department a couple times.\u00a0 What do you think?\u00a0 Try to deny it, please.\u00a0 Hmm?<\/p>\n<p>[laughs]<\/p>\n<p>Hmm?<\/p>\n<p>OK.<\/p>\n<p>OK.<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t. I can&#8217;t.\u00a0 OK, I&#8217;m sorry, but I&#8217;m just&#8211;\u00a0 oh, man, I am upset because\u00a0 Sophia&#8217;s heart is really broken.<\/p>\n<p>And I&#8217;m upset at the fact that he hurt her that way.\u00a0 I have to admit, I feel like I maybe\u00a0 should have been a little more observant in that situation,\u00a0 seen that coming.\u00a0 But I&#8211;I&#8217;ve been a little distracted\u00a0 with what&#8217;s going on with Sarah.<\/p>\n<p>Understandable.\u00a0 And I&#8211;I am sorry.\u00a0 It is not your fault,\u00a0 whatever happens between Tate and Sophia.\u00a0 I know it&#8217;s not your fault.\u00a0 And I&#8217;m sorry that I just lashed out on you.\u00a0 Sorry.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s OK.\u00a0 You care about her, and I get it.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah.\u00a0 OK, all right.\u00a0 Change the subject.\u00a0 All right, Sarah.<\/p>\n<p>[sighs]<\/p>\n<p>Yeah.\u00a0 You said that Kristen handed over the serum.\u00a0 So, is it working?<\/p>\n<p>Last I heard, she received the final dose.\u00a0 So now it&#8217;s just a matter of waiting\u00a0 and hoping for the best.<\/p>\n<p>Damn it, Kristen! Stop!\u00a0 Get your hands off of her!<\/p>\n<p>Why are you yelling at me?\u00a0 I&#8217;m just here to help.<\/p>\n<p>What, by forcing her to walk before she&#8217;s ready?\u00a0 How the hell is that helping?<\/p>\n<p>All right, why are you wimping out about this?<\/p>\n<p>OK, that&#8217;s enough.<\/p>\n<p>Mm-hmm.\u00a0 I need you to listen to me.\u00a0 If you want to walk again, you need to push yourself.\u00a0 Show some gumption, some courage!\u00a0 Now put your feet on the floor\u00a0 and get on with the business of living.<\/p>\n<p>Hey, hey.\u00a0 Thank you so much for the deranged pep talk.\u00a0 But as you heard my wife say, we are good,\u00a0 and you&#8217;re out of here. Come on.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ve got to challenge the body.\u00a0 I am telling you, Sarah.\u00a0 If you&#8211;the serum works!\u00a0 You just have to push yourself.\u00a0 What are you so afraid of?<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for stopping by.\u00a0 [door slams]\u00a0 [intense music]<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t understand.\u00a0 I was just talking to Holly yesterday,\u00a0 and she said that you and Tate were a couple.<\/p>\n<p>We were&#8211;for, like, five seconds.<\/p>\n<p>OK, what happened?<\/p>\n<p>What happened is he went running back\u00a0 to his true love, Holly.<\/p>\n<p>Just like that?<\/p>\n<p>Pretty much.\u00a0 Your bestie is a real prince of a guy.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t get it. I don&#8217;t get it.\u00a0 I really thought Tate was into you.<\/p>\n<p>Me, too.\u00a0 But then his real feelings for Holly came out\u00a0 in the worst possible way at the worst possible time.<\/p>\n<p>Oof. What do you mean?<\/p>\n<p>Take a wild guess.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, no.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, yes.<\/p>\n<p>[scoffs] You&#8217;re joking, right?<\/p>\n<p>I wish.<\/p>\n<p>You actually said my name out loud while you guys were&#8211;\u00a0 oh, oh, my God.\u00a0 Wow.\u00a0 How did she react?<\/p>\n<p>How do you think?\u00a0 I mean, she completely freaked out\u00a0 and basically told me to go to hell and stormed out.<\/p>\n<p>Wait, when you came here last night,\u00a0 I kind of assumed you were the one who broke up with her.\u00a0 Are you saying it was the other way around?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, it was.\u00a0 Why does that matter?<\/p>\n<p>Well, it matters because now I&#8217;m wondering if you only\u00a0 got back together with me because things\u00a0 were over with Sophia.\u00a0 [soft dramatic music]<\/p>\n<p>So Kristen thought she could just\u00a0 hoist you up onto your feet,\u00a0 and somehow your legs would respond?<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s exactly what she thought, yes.\u00a0 And then she accused me of being a wimp\u00a0 for not going along with her very brilliant theory.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, I had to drag her out of the room\u00a0 before she did any more damage.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t get it.\u00a0 Kristen never has given a damn about anybody but herself.\u00a0 Why does she care so much about your recovery?<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t think she does.\u00a0 I think it&#8217;s because she cares about Brady.\u00a0 She wants the serum to work so she can score points with him.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Sarah&#8217;s a really good person.\u00a0 I&#8217;m really hoping that serum works for her.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah.\u00a0 Me, too. Hmm.\u00a0 OK.<\/p>\n<p>OK.<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles]<\/p>\n<p>Oh, wait, wait, wait.

You were protective of her.\u00a0 I can understand why that would upset you.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, well, thank you for understanding.\u00a0 So, um, you and me, we&#8217;re&#8211;we&#8217;re good?\u00a0 We&#8217;re still friends?<\/p>\n<p>Oh, psh.\u00a0 We&#8217;re&#8211;yeah, we&#8217;re good.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Cause it&#8217;s&#8211;it&#8217;s really important to me,\u00a0 and especially right now, that, um&#8211;\u00a0 look, I&#8211; [sighs]\u00a0 I really hope this doesn&#8217;t sound like&#8211;\u00a0 like I&#8217;m feeling sorry for myself or anything.\u00a0 I just&#8211;ugh.\u00a0 You know, look, I know how lucky I am.\u00a0 I&#8217;ve got a job.

I&#8217;ve got you.\u00a0 I&#8217;ve got you, darling.<\/p>\n<p>Damn it.<\/p>\n<p>[sighs]<\/p>\n<p>And then I told him it was over\u00a0 and got the hell out of there.<\/p>\n<p>Damn!<\/p>\n<p>Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>Wow.\u00a0 I can&#8217;t believe Tate did that.\u00a0 He must have freaked out right after it happened.<\/p>\n<p>How do you think I felt?<\/p>\n<p>Oh, of course. No, way worse.<\/p>\n<p>[sighs] God, I hate my life.<\/p>\n<p>It could be worse, you know?<\/p>\n<p>How?<\/p>\n<p>Well, your brother could be sitting in jail\u00a0 for attempted murder.<\/p>\n<p>Wait. What?\u00a0 Your brother is in&#8211; oh, my God.\u00a0 That&#8217;s crazy.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, and that is so not even the full story.\u00a0 My family is incredibly screwed up right now.<\/p>\n<p>Well, I have nowhere else to be.\u00a0 So, lay it on me.<\/p>\n<p>Holly, you weren&#8217;t, like, my backup plan\u00a0 or anything like that.<\/p>\n<p>OK, well, can you see why I might think that?<\/p>\n<p>Yes, but I meant every word that I said last night.\u00a0 All I ever wanted was to be with you.\u00a0 You know, from the first time I met you in the park,\u00a0 it&#8217;s been you and only you.\u00a0 I think about you all the time, like when I&#8217;m in class\u00a0 or I&#8217;m studying, playing lacrosse.\u00a0 Holly, you are everything to me.\u00a0 So I hope you believe me.<\/p>\n<p>I do. I do believe you.\u00a0 Because you&#8217;re everything to me, too, Tate.<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles]<\/p>\n<p>Do you want to go up to my room?<\/p>\n<p>Nothing&#8217;s going on, Kristen.\u00a0 You walked in on a friendly hug.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, I didn&#8217;t know you two were friends.\u00a0 Hmm?<\/p>\n<p>Well, we are.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, ho, ho.\u00a0 Well, what interests do you two share?<\/p>\n<p>Not that it&#8217;s any of your business,\u00a0 but we actually just like to talk. OK?<\/p>\n<p>OK, fine.\u00a0 Whatever. You know what?\u00a0 I&#8217;m glad I ran into you.\u00a0 I was at the hospital, checking in on Sarah.<\/p>\n<p>How&#8217;s it going?\u00a0 I mean, is there any progress now\u00a0 that she&#8217;s taking the serum?<\/p>\n<p>No, no, no, not yet.\u00a0 Dr. Rolf, I mean, he is very confident\u00a0 that it will be successful, but that is if, uh,\u00a0 Sarah has the right attitude.<\/p>\n<p>All right, I think I should probably\u00a0 go over there later today to check things out&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>You know, Brady, I really think you should go over now.\u00a0 Sarah seems really down and somewhat defeatist,\u00a0 and that&#8217;s not good, obviously.\u00a0 You mean a lot to her, Brady.\u00a0 I think it would make a difference if you go\u00a0 and encourage her to have the right attitude,\u00a0 positive attitude, right?<\/p>\n<p>I agree.\u00a0 I agree. I&#8217;m gonna do that.\u00a0 I should&#8211;I&#8217;m gonna go now.<\/p>\n<p>OK.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll see you around.<\/p>\n<p>OK. You know where to find me.\u00a0 And I should get to the bistro.\u00a0 Yeah, seeing that your brother has skipped town,\u00a0 now I run the place.<\/p>\n<p>Sorry.<\/p>\n<p>Excuse&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, you&#8217;re not going anywhere.\u00a0 [tense music]<\/p>\n<p>Well, that was a huge fail.\u00a0 I couldn&#8217;t even take a step.<\/p>\n<p>Honey, you took a shot.\u00a0 I just hope you didn&#8217;t hurt yourself.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m fine, physically.\u00a0 Emotionally, I&#8217;m drained.\u00a0 [sniffles] I&#8217;m just&#8211;I&#8217;m&#8211;\u00a0 I&#8217;m worried.\u00a0 I feel like I&#8217;m letting Xander down.<\/p>\n<p>What?\u00a0 Why would you say that?<\/p>\n<p>Because ever since he found out that his mom caused\u00a0 the accident, it&#8217;s just like,\u00a0 whenever he looks at me,\u00a0 he has all this guilt in his eyes that\u00a0 somehow, it&#8217;s his fault.<\/p>\n<p>Well, it isn&#8217;t.\u00a0 Of course it isn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>No, I know.\u00a0 And I keep trying to persuade him to that, but&#8211;\u00a0 I don&#8217;t know. I just&#8211;\u00a0 I feel like the only way that he&#8217;s going to let go\u00a0 of the guilt is if I walk again, and&#8230;\u00a0 [soft dramatic music]\u00a0 I don&#8217;t know. I just&#8211;\u00a0 I&#8217;m worried that if I don&#8217;t make a full recovery, then&#8211;\u00a0 then he won&#8217;t, either.<\/p>\n<p>Oh.\u00a0 [elevator dings]\u00a0 [kettle thunks loudly]<\/p>\n<p>Xander, are you OK?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, I am.\u00a0 I&#8217;m good.<\/p>\n<p>Look, um,\u00a0 I ran into Kristen, and she told me about the serum\u00a0 and that it hasn&#8217;t worked yet.<\/p>\n<p>No, it hasn&#8217;t.\u00a0 Sarah&#8217;s still paralyzed, despite Kristen&#8217;s best efforts\u00a0 to drag her out of bed and force her to her feet.<\/p>\n<p>She didn&#8217;t tell me that part.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah.\u00a0 I was going to throw the woman out of a window,\u00a0 but Sarah thought maybe she had a point,\u00a0 that it might be important for her to push herself.\u00a0 So when Kristen left, we gave it a go.<\/p>\n<p>So, Sarah, she tried to walk?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, I boosted her to her feet.\u00a0 And then Sarah promptly collapsed into my arms.<\/p>\n<p>Sorry.\u00a0 That must have been hard.\u00a0 But it may still work.\u00a0 I mean, it hasn&#8217;t been a long time yet.<\/p>\n<p>No, no, no.\u00a0 It&#8217;s just so hard watching Sarah go through this.\u00a0 And if I could trade places with her,\u00a0 I&#8217;d do it in a heartbeat.<\/p>\n<p>Sarah doesn&#8217;t deserve this.\u00a0 And I, um&#8211;\u00a0 I&#8217;m really sorry for both of you.<\/p>\n<p>No, Brady.\u00a0 I&#8217;m sorry.<\/p>\n<p>Is there a problem, Kristen?<\/p>\n<p>Yes, there sure as hell is if you are moving in on Brady.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, for God&#8217;s sake.<\/p>\n<p>What? What?\u00a0 Is that so far-fetched? I mean, come on, Ava. [laughs]\u00a0 I mean, you have this nasty little habit\u00a0 about going after other women&#8217;s men.\u00a0 I mean, what, Kayla, Gabi&#8211; although going after\u00a0 your friend&#8217;s man is just a little extra low.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, Kristen.\u00a0 You didn&#8217;t get the memo.\u00a0 You and I, we are no longer friends,\u00a0 especially after you betrayed my trust\u00a0 and then you fired me from DiMera.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, my God.\u00a0 I do not have to defend myself to you, Ava.\u00a0 Gabi gave me no choice.\u00a0 And, you know, I saved your life once, as you may recall.\u00a0 [laughs] So you might want to show me a little more respect\u00a0 and not throw yourself at the man I love.<\/p>\n<p>Kristin, I wasn&#8217;t throwing myself at him.\u00a0 We were talking. You know, talking?\u00a0 It&#8217;s what friends do. They talk.\u00a0 And then you saw us hugging.\u00a0 He was comforting me by giving me a friendly hug\u00a0 because I was upset about somebody I care about\u00a0 whose heart happens to be broken. OK?<\/p>\n<p>Fine.<\/p>\n<p>Do you get that?<\/p>\n<p>Fine.<\/p>\n<p>Great.<\/p>\n<p>I get it.<\/p>\n<p>Fantastic.<\/p>\n<p>I get it. I get it. I get it. I get it, Ava.\u00a0 Listen, I mean, you can&#8217;t blame me for asking.<\/p>\n<p>[laughs] You call that asking?\u00a0 That was threatening.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, please!\u00a0 I was just doing my due diligence.\u00a0 I mean, I just assumed that\u00a0 since Stefan left town, that you&#8211;\u00a0 you were looking for another home to wreck.<\/p>\n<p>[laughs] This from the woman who wrecks lives.\u00a0 Oh, Kristen, you know what?\u00a0 There is no home to wreck\u00a0 because you and Brady are not together.<\/p>\n<p>[laughs] Technically, no,\u00a0 but we do share a child.\u00a0 And, you know, since I generously\u00a0 gave over that serum, it&#8217;s just a matter of time\u00a0 before we find our way back to each other.<\/p>\n<p>Really?\u00a0 Not what I heard.<\/p>\n<p>What is that supposed to mean?<\/p>\n<p>And since my brother is basically headed for prison,\u00a0 I&#8217;m pretty much going to be watching\u00a0 after Felicity and myself.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, my God, Aaron, I&#8217;m so sorry.\u00a0 And your mom, could she really still be alive?<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know.\u00a0 At this point, I would just rather not get my hopes up.<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t believe you had all this going on,\u00a0 and I was rambling about my stupid love life.\u00a0 Your situation is, like, , times worse.<\/p>\n<p>I guess.<\/p>\n<p>You guess?\u00a0 No, of course it is. I feel so bad for you.\u00a0 So, here.\u00a0 You need this more than I do.<\/p>\n<p>[laughs]\u00a0 Did it help with your heartbreak?<\/p>\n<p>Not even a little.<\/p>\n<p>[sighs] Mm.<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles]<\/p>\n<p>Holly, you know, we just&#8211;\u00a0 just got back together.\u00a0 We don&#8217;t have to rush things.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, I know, but we were heading in that direction\u00a0 before we broke up, right?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, but here&#8217;s the thing.\u00a0 I&#8211;I don&#8217;t want to make any mistakes with you.\u00a0 You mean so much to me.\u00a0 And I want to do this right every step of the way.<\/p>\n<p>So, you&#8217;re OK with waiting?<\/p>\n<p>Yes, of course I am.\u00a0 &#8216;Cause then, when we finally are together, I&#8211;\u00a0 I want it to be really, really special.\u00a0 And besides, I want to take you out, like, on a proper date.\u00a0 You know, we&#8217;ve only even ever had one of those?\u00a0 It was like a year ago, New Year&#8217;s Eve.<\/p>\n<p>It was also a disaster.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, exactly.\u00a0 So this is our chance to start fresh.\u00a0 I want to buy you dinner.\u00a0 I want to take you to a movie.\u00a0 Hey, who knows? Maybe even take you dancing.<\/p>\n<p>Dancing?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, do all the normal couple things.<\/p>\n<p>OK.\u00a0 Yeah, I guess I could get behind\u00a0 some normal couple things.<\/p>\n<p>Good. Me, too.\u00a0 Then, once we&#8217;ve done all that,\u00a0 then we&#8217;ll see what happens.\u00a0 That sound OK to you?<\/p>\n<p>That sounds perfect.\u00a0 [chuckling]<\/p>\n<p>Do you want the last piece?<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m good, thanks.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>Did it help at all?<\/p>\n<p>[laughs] You know what?\u00a0 It actually kind of did,\u00a0 although I think talking to you is really what helped.<\/p>\n<p>Good. Good, I&#8217;m glad.<\/p>\n<p>I should&#8211;I should go study.<\/p>\n<p>You should. But do you want to?<\/p>\n<p>What do you mean?<\/p>\n<p>Well, I mean, you could go study,\u00a0 or you and I could go do something fun.<\/p>\n<p>[clears throat] [stammers]\u00a0 You want to hang out with me?<\/p>\n<p>Why wouldn&#8217;t I?<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know.\u00a0 We&#8217;ve known each other since the third grade,\u00a0 and you&#8217;ve never asked me to hang out before.<\/p>\n<p>Well, we&#8217;ve never had anything in common before,\u00a0 and now we do&#8211; both of our lives suck.<\/p>\n<p>[laughs] Um, I guess you have a point.\u00a0 So, uh, what do you want to do?<\/p>\n<p>Well, I heard they dropped the first episode of that\u00a0 &#8220;Body and Soul&#8221; reboot,\u00a0 so we could go to my place and watch that.<\/p>\n<p>You want to watch a soap opera?<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve seen the promo.\u00a0 There&#8217;s a lot of hot girls in it.<\/p>\n<p>Sold.<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles]<\/p>\n<p>What?<\/p>\n<p>[laughs]\u00a0 I can&#8217;t concentrate. Come on.<\/p>\n<p>Me neither.<\/p>\n<p>Why don&#8217;t we take a break and do something else?<\/p>\n<p>Like what?\u00a0 [soft music]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>What are you doing?<\/p>\n<p>* Are you with me? *<\/p>\n<p>Dance with me.<\/p>\n<p>[laughs] Right now?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>* Driving down this highway *<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Cause if we cross this off our list,\u00a0 we&#8217;ll be one step closer to seeing what happens.<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles] I&#8217;m down with that.<\/p>\n<p>* This feeling inside, I&#8217;ve searched far and wide *\u00a0 * Now is the time for the ride *\u00a0 * Are you with me? *\u00a0 [soft music]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>What the hell did that snide little comment mean?\u00a0 What did Brady tell you about me?<\/p>\n<p>Oh, you know what? Forget it.\u00a0 Forget I said anything.<\/p>\n<p>No, no, no.\u00a0 We&#8217;re not going to forget that he said anything.\u00a0 [mocking laugh] No, what did Brady tell you?<\/p>\n<p>Oh.\u00a0 Well, he told me why you gave Sarah the serum,\u00a0 that, um, he said if you didn&#8217;t,\u00a0 then there&#8217;d be zero chance of the two of you\u00a0 ever getting back together again.\u00a0 So then when I pointed out that you might\u00a0 be expecting a future with him,\u00a0 he said he never made you any promises.<\/p>\n<p>[laughs] Damn it.\u00a0 Why? Why?\u00a0 Why would Brady share our business with you?<\/p>\n<p>Oh, because we&#8217;re friends, as we told you,\u00a0 and friends confide in each other.\u00a0 So, as, uh,\u00a0 one former friend to another,\u00a0 I wouldn&#8217;t get my hopes up if I were you.\u00a0 [laughs]<\/p>\n<p>Mm.\u00a0 [sighs]<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m sorry for so many things, Brady, obviously.\u00a0 But blaming you for Sarah&#8217;s accident,\u00a0 that&#8217;s very high on the list.<\/p>\n<p>Xander,\u00a0 you were going through hell, and you were angry.\u00a0 And you needed to lash out, and I&#8211;\u00a0 I get it.\u00a0 Besides, the last time I looked, I&#8217;m still in one piece,\u00a0 so no harm done.<\/p>\n<p>Of course there was harm done.\u00a0 And yet you have been extremely kind to us, Brady,\u00a0 especially going out of your way to get us that serum.<\/p>\n<p>Sarah deserves to walk again.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, she does.\u00a0 But you&#8217;ve been instrumental in giving us\u00a0 a chance to make that happen.\u00a0 And I&#8217;m just so grateful.\u00a0 And to prove it, I&#8217;d&#8211;\u00a0 I&#8217;d like to offer you your job back at Basic Black.<\/p>\n<p>Really?<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re still interested, that is.<\/p>\n<p>[laughs]\u00a0 Yes, I am interested.\u00a0 I will&#8211;I will take you up on that.\u00a0 Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>Of course.\u00a0 The least I can do, especially since\u00a0 you were also the one that got Kristen\u00a0 to drop her demands for Titan.<\/p>\n<p>That was more of a miracle than\u00a0 we&#8217;re hoping the serum will be.\u00a0 Frankly, Xander, I&#8217;m surprised\u00a0 that you even considered her deal.<\/p>\n<p>Well, you know I spent most of my adult life\u00a0 wanting to be CEO of that company, but&#8230;\u00a0 I would give up everything if it meant Sarah\u00a0 could walk again.\u00a0 The serum is&#8211; it&#8217;s our last chance.\u00a0 If this doesn&#8217;t work, then I just don&#8217;t&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Hey, hey, hey.\u00a0 It&#8217;ll work.\u00a0 You hang in there.
