I miss you so. [knocking] [clears throat] Come in.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Evans, your next appointment just called and canceled.<\/p>\n<p>Roz? I hope everything&#8217;s all right.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, yeah. She, um&#8211;she just said it was something about childcare.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, yes. Well, I understand that. Please make sure we find the time for her this week.<\/p>\n<p>Of course. You have the next hour free. Would you like me to pick you up something for lunch?<\/p>\n<p>Uh, no. No, think I&#8217;ll just go to the cafeteria. Thanks. 2<\/p>\n<p>OK. Well, if you change your mind, let me know.<\/p>\n<p>I will. Oh, Cat. You never told me how things went with you and Chad. <i>[solemn music]<\/i><\/p>\n<p>No, you can tell the people at Basic Black that goodwill is only going to get them so far. Yeah, if they want a full-page advertorial on their new collection, then it&#8217;s going to cost them. No, tell them exactly what I said.<\/p>\n<p>[clears throat]<\/p>\n<p>Sorry, Leo. I didn&#8217;t see you there.<\/p>\n<p>No, you were too busy going all William Randolph Hearst on your staff.<\/p>\n<p>Can I help you with something?<\/p>\n<p>Very much so. First off, I wanted to thank you again for hiring me back at &#8220;The Spectator,&#8221; as a legitimate reporter this time. Your faith in me means the world.<\/p>\n<p>Why does it feel like you&#8217;re buttering me up?<\/p>\n<p>[laughs] I can&#8217;t get anything past you, Chadwick. I need your approval on a story I&#8217;m working on that is going to make our next issue fly off the newsstands.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, I can&#8217;t wait to hear the pitch.<\/p>\n<p>Mm, you say that now, but this might hit a little close to home. <i>[mellow music]<\/i><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Hey.<\/p>\n<p>Hey, yourself.<\/p>\n<p>Mm. It&#8217;s been a while. Haven&#8217;t seen you since, uh&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Since you dumped me to go be with Stephanie?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>6<\/p>\n<p>Oh, hello, you.<\/p>\n<p>Hey.<\/p>\n<p>Here to have lunch with your mom?<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m here for business, actually. I&#8217;m helping to raise awareness about the hospital&#8217;s financial situation. So I just came to drop off the presentation deck so that my mom could help court more donors.<\/p>\n<p>Well, we are definitely lucky to have your expertise. I can&#8217;t even believe that the hospital shutting down is a possibility. 7<\/p>\n<p>I know, I know. I mean, I get that everything is about money at the end of the day.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, but this is&#8211;this is so much more than a business. I mean, what about the patients, or all of the people that work here who are going to lose their jobs?<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t tell me you&#8217;re already looking for a new gig. We need you to be here and stay positive for everyone else.<\/p>\n<p>No. No, no, no. I&#8217;m not job-hunting. I mean, I&#8217;m&#8211; I&#8217;m one of the lucky ones. Xander said that, um, he would, uh, &#8220;take care of me&#8221; if the hospital goes under.<\/p>\n<p>Oh. Somehow I doubt you liked the sound of that.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t even get me started. As if I went to eight years of medical school to be a kept woman.<\/p>\n<p>[laughs] Well, I&#8217;m sure he meant well. He just&#8211;he didn&#8217;t want you to worry about money.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, yeah. It&#8217;s one of the advantages to being married to a CEO. Or should I say co-CEO.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of, how has Xander been getting along with Philip since you decided not to tell him that Victor&#8217;s letter was a forgery? <i>[pensive music]<\/i><\/p>\n<p>I come bearing great news, bro. Our CFO confirms we have the cash reserves for a major acquisition.<\/p>\n<p>Great.<\/p>\n<p>[sighs] Wow. Your excitement is palpable. Come on, this is fantastic. We&#8217;re one step closer to taking over DiMera.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m afraid it might not matter unless we get answers.<\/p>\n<p>About?<\/p>\n<p>Why Victor&#8217;s letter named you as his heir.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><i>[soft orchestration]<\/i> <i>announcer: Like sands<\/i> <i>through the hourglass,<\/i> <i>so are<\/i> <i>the &#8220;Days of Our Lives.&#8221;<\/i><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>I thought that you were&#8211; I thought you were fine with keeping the secret about the forgery. Did you change your mind?<\/p>\n<p>No, no. Philip and I aren&#8217;t together anymore. His lying and scheming aren&#8217;t my problem.<\/p>\n<p>OK. So what is this about?<\/p>\n<p>[exhales]<\/p>\n<p>I guess I&#8217;m still pissed that he made Belle and me complicit in his fraud. I&#8217;m mad at him, not you.<\/p>\n<p>Um, does that mean that you still won&#8217;t say anything?<\/p>\n<p>[sighs] Philip&#8217;s done enough damage. It would&#8211;it would blow up too many lives if I did, to say nothing of your marriage. How would Xander feel if he found out that you knew that he was conned out of half his birthright?<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;re reading Dad&#8217;s letter again. Why?<\/p>\n<p>Clarity, I suppose. Why did he tell you he wanted you to run the company, but then never bothered to change his will?<\/p>\n<p>Come on. Are we really dredging this up again? I thought we were in a good place, or at least a better one.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not jockeying for power. Don&#8217;t worry. I&#8217;ve made peace with the fact that this is what our father wanted. It&#8217;s just if we&#8217;re successful in acquiring DiMera, there could be regulatory hurdles. We might have to explain why we chose to share power. And to do that, we need to get inside Victor&#8217;s headspace.<\/p>\n<p>Regulatory hurdles? That&#8217;s a long way away, don&#8217;t you think?<\/p>\n<p>I wouldn&#8217;t be so sure. I have a feeling that our plans are about to gain some major traction.<\/p>\n<p>Why is that?<\/p>\n<p>Well, I have a special guest visiting us today. One that could be instrumental in our efforts to take everything the DiMeras hold dear.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Children of the Phoenix&#8211; Fall of Haus DiMera&#8221;?<\/p>\n<p>Intriguing title, no? I originally went with &#8220;Demigods, Dalliances, and DiMeras,&#8221; but the alliteration failed to convey the proper gravitas.<\/p>\n<p>Leo, this isn&#8217;t a first pitch. It&#8217;s a&#8211;it&#8217;s a first draft on a hit piece about my family.<\/p>\n<p>A hit piece? After what they did to Jeremy Strong, I would never. Think of it as an in-depth expos\u00e9 on the DiMeras.<\/p>\n<p>You want to know what? You want to write a book, be my guest. But this&#8211;this isn&#8217;t relevant to my paper.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s extremely relevant, and timely. My source at the Salem PD says that EJ and Kristen are both up to their necks in Ava&#8217;s kidnapping.<\/p>\n<p>OK, then one of&#8211; one of our court reporters will cover it if it goes to trial.<\/p>\n<p>Please! The former DA and the CEO of a multinational company both facing federal charges? You don&#8217;t bury that story next to coupons for canned goods. That is a splashy, multifaceted feature that practically writes itself.<\/p>\n<p>OK, well, if it writes itself, what the hell do I need you for?<\/p>\n<p>I said practically. And I didn&#8217;t even get to the part yet about Rachel&#8217;s disappearance, or Kristen&#8217;s kooky mother hiding out in that gothic mansion. [inhales sharply] Chadwick, we print this story and you can bet every hair on that perfectly coiffed head of yours that &#8220;Dateline&#8221; is going to option this. We are talking a full-length episode, a companion podcast. I could promote this on &#8220;Maddow.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>OK, just&#8211;just stop.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;re killing it, aren&#8217;t you?<\/p>\n<p>No. No, I&#8217;ll publish it. On the front page. <i>[dramatic music]<\/i><\/p>\n<p>So it was really cool that, you know, Chad and I were able to get on the same page with everything. The fancy gala, it just felt wrong for this type of fundraiser.<\/p>\n<p>Well, as much as I enjoy getting all dressed up and sipping champagne, I think I agree. Yeah, galas are expensive. And we want every dime to go right to the hospital.<\/p>\n<p>Precisely. That is what Chad totally understood, and he said that we could do another brainstorming session this afternoon. And he has agreed to put the full weight of &#8220;The Spectator&#8221; behind spreading the word, so it&#8217;s amazing.<\/p>\n<p>Mm. Heartwarming to see everybody come together this way, willing to help the hospital. But I think we do have to acknowledge our limits.<\/p>\n<p>Well, what do you mean? 22<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t want to make you uncomfortable by having you and Chad work so closely together. Especially after you&#8217;ve, you know, told him how you feel.<\/p>\n<p>Oh. Thank you, Dr. Evans. I really appreciate that. But I&#8211;I realized I&#8217;m over Chad. And I told him as much, so it&#8217;s all good.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, OK. So wait, were you lying to him or to yourself?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>23<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;re going to print my story?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, that&#8217;s what I said, isn&#8217;t it?<\/p>\n<p>This is fantastic!<\/p>\n<p>Hey, look, listen to me. If you think this is going to be a ticket just to get back into screenwriting, forget it, OK? You&#8217;re a journalist now, which means you need to adhere to the standards of this newspaper. Do you understand me?<\/p>\n<p>Yes, of course. What are they? 24<\/p>\n<p>Fact-checking, triple-sourcing, vetting every single statement that is made in this thing, all right? I don&#8217;t want you to forget that my brother is a lawyer, and he is not afraid of litigation.<\/p>\n<p>OK, I will steer clear of anything libelous.<\/p>\n<p>Good. I want you to run it by legal. And I have one more condition.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s that?<\/p>\n<p>Rachel Black, my niece. She&#8217;s a minor. Leave her out of it. Are we clear?<\/p>\n<p>Crystal. Thank you for trusting my instincts, Chadwick.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;re welcome. Don&#8217;t make me regret it.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t leave me in suspense. Who&#8217;s this special guest of yours?<\/p>\n<p>Well, I&#8217;ve been thinking more about that conversation we had the other day.<\/p>\n<p>Care to be more specific?<\/p>\n<p>About which DiMera board members we could sway to join our side.<\/p>\n<p>But we determined the DiMeras and Peter could never be flipped. So that&#8217;d just leave&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Me. <i>[tense music]<\/i><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>27<\/p>\n<p>I hate lying to Xander, but it is for the greater good.<\/p>\n<p>You do keep saying that. Do you really believe that, though?<\/p>\n<p>Yes. Yes, I do. Look, I love my husband more than anything, but Xander is the personification of &#8220;absolute power corrupts absolutely.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sounds like Philip, too.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, yes. Both of Victor&#8217;s sons got that ruthless trait from him. But if they are forced to share Titan and play nice, it&#8217;ll curb each other&#8217;s most reckless impulses.<\/p>\n<p>If they don&#8217;t kill each other first.<\/p>\n<p>But that&#8217;s the thing. They&#8217;re actually acting like brothers. Xander even asked Philip to move back into the mansion.<\/p>\n<p>He did?<\/p>\n<p>OK, yes, so it was to make it seem like they were a united front. But still, everything is working out the way I&#8217;d hoped.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s great, Sarah. I just hope nothing happens to change that, for your sake and mine. Things are going really well with Alex. I doubt that he would be too happy to know that I kept quiet about all this.<\/p>\n<p>So then we&#8217;re in agreement. For the greater good. 30<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, for the greater good. <i>[mellow music]<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Look, Joy, about what you said earlier.<\/p>\n<p>Just forget about it.<\/p>\n<p>No. You&#8217;re absolutely right. I acted like a total jackass, and&#8230; I&#8217;m sorry. I handled that entire situation in the worst way possible, and you didn&#8217;t deserve that.<\/p>\n<p>It was just a fling. I&#8217;ll get over it. [laughs]<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;re giving me a lot more grace than I deserve. Thank you. You&#8217;ve barely touched your food.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. Yeah, I don&#8217;t really, um&#8211; don&#8217;t really have much of an appetite lately. I think I&#8217;m just a little stressed figuring out my next move now that &#8220;Body and Soul&#8221; is no longer an option.<\/p>\n<p>Mm. 32<\/p>\n<p>Did you hear they recast our roles?<\/p>\n<p>What? No, actually, I didn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>Well, we didn&#8217;t really give him much of a choice.<\/p>\n<p>[laughs] True. But I mean, it&#8217;s going to be weird watching some new guy play Arrow.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. Yeah, tell me about it. They asked me to move with them to LA, but I kept them waiting for too long, and the show must go on. 33<\/p>\n<p>I guess so. Well, there will be other roles.<\/p>\n<p>In Salem?<\/p>\n<p>Eh.<\/p>\n<p>Doubtful.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not even really sure acting is my next step anyways, so&#8230; But I digress. You should go. You don&#8217;t want to keep Stephanie waiting too long.<\/p>\n<p>[laughs] How would you even know&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>I saw them put two sets of utensils in your bag. 34<\/p>\n<p>Good eye. Take care of yourself, Joy.<\/p>\n<p>You too.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>[door clicks close] I guess I shouldn&#8217;t be wasting any food now that I&#8217;m unemployed. <i>[jazzy music]<\/i><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Oh, God. Ugh! <i>[tense music]<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Ah, delicious. [chuckles]<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s is vintage pu-erh tea. I understand it&#8217;s your favorite.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed it is.<\/p>\n<p>Well, I had Henderson prepare it for you especially. The least you deserve after your long flight from Hong Kong.<\/p>\n<p>Well, the Titan jet made the trip much more comfortable, as well as the luxury car service you sent to pick me up from your family airfield.<\/p>\n<p>We aim to please.<\/p>\n<p>You are aware I could have arranged my own travel. So clearly, you want something.<\/p>\n<p>Well, that is the nature of business, I&#8217;m afraid. But as for the travel arrangements, we just needed as few people as possible to know that you were visiting us in Salem today.<\/p>\n<p>Well, let&#8217;s stop this cloak and dagger routine. Why go through all this trouble to have an audience with me? 37<\/p>\n<p>My brother and I have a proposition for you.<\/p>\n<p>Hmm.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>[knocking on door] <i>&#8211; * It&#8217;s me *<\/i><\/p>\n<p>* Come in *<\/p>\n<p>* Mm, I come bearing food *<\/p>\n<p>Ooh, you read my mind.<\/p>\n<p>I figured my hard-working, beautiful girlfriend could use a little burger break. 38<\/p>\n<p>Mm, I could kiss you.<\/p>\n<p>Ah.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, I will.<\/p>\n<p>Ah. Mm.<\/p>\n<p>Mm.<\/p>\n<p>Mm. [smooching]<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles] Yes!<\/p>\n<p>Dig in.<\/p>\n<p>Mm.<\/p>\n<p>[sighs] So&#8230; [clears throat] Full transparency. I ran into Joy at the pub. 39<\/p>\n<p>Oh. Oh, and the chowder made it home and wasn&#8217;t dumped on your head?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. Yeah, it was a little awkward at first, but I just apologized, and she got some things off her chest, and we got to an OK place.<\/p>\n<p>Really?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. She even wished us well. 40<\/p>\n<p>[exhales] That&#8217;s a relief.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>I was still feeling bad about the way that all of that went down.<\/p>\n<p>Me too. You know, in the end, Joy and I weren&#8217;t really all that serious, but&#8211; [sighs] She just wants to put it behind her, which means we should too.<\/p>\n<p>Sounds like a plan. <i>[soft music]<\/i><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Joy. You feeling all right?<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m, uh&#8211;no, I&#8217;m not feeling so great.<\/p>\n<p>Nausea?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. Yeah, I wasn&#8217;t very hungry and then I had one bite of my lunch and I, uh&#8211;well, I&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Oh, OK. Well, um, how long has your appetite been off?<\/p>\n<p>Um, a few days. You don&#8217;t think this has anything to do with me getting poisoned, do you?<\/p>\n<p>Oh, gosh. Uh, well, given how long ago that was, I sincerely doubt it. But you know, let&#8217;s get you an exam room because there&#8217;s a stomach flu going around, so it could probably be that or&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Morning sickness? Could I be pregnant? <i>&#8211; Wow.<\/i> Guest you managed to fill that time slot after all.<\/p>\n<p>Only asking as a colleague.<\/p>\n<p>Mm-hmm. Yeah, a colleague who also happens to be a world-renowned psychiatrist. I really don&#8217;t know why I thought I was going to be able to pull one over on you.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t either.<\/p>\n<p>[laughs] 44<\/p>\n<p>So you do have feelings for Chad?<\/p>\n<p>Yes, but it doesn&#8217;t matter. It&#8217;s&#8211;nothing can ever come of it, right? And it&#8217;s so much better that Chad doesn&#8217;t know. Because that way, it doesn&#8217;t get in the way of us planning the fundraiser. [phone rings]<\/p>\n<p>Oh, I&#8217;m sorry. I&#8217;ve got to take this. Do you mind?<\/p>\n<p>Oh, no, of course. 45<\/p>\n<p>Shane, thank you so much for checking in. Do you have anything on John&#8217;s information, and his whereabouts that&#8211; what do you mean? I don&#8217;t understand. What is happening here? OK, OK. OK. Just let me know as soon as you hear anything, please. Please. <i>[soft dramatic music]<\/i><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Dr. Evans, I did not mean to eavesdrop, but is everything OK?<\/p>\n<p>No, everything is not OK. My husband is missing.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>[sighs] I just sent my draft off to legal, and I have no doubt they will deem my story is fit to print.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s hope. <i>[curious music]<\/i> Is there something else, Leo?<\/p>\n<p>Actually, I have some other story ideas I would love to run past you.<\/p>\n<p>Great. It&#8217;s going to have to wait. Cat Greene&#8217;s coming over. We have a meeting that I need to prep.<\/p>\n<p>Cat Greene? Why would you be taking a meeting with the woman who pretended to be your dead wife?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Missing? What do you mean?<\/p>\n<p>John&#8230; John is missing in action. [sighs] Most people that are close to us are aware&#8230; that John does undercover work, but he has gone radio silent for a very long time. I reached out and got special permission to talk to him.<\/p>\n<p>But that didn&#8217;t happen?<\/p>\n<p>No. It seems that even his handler has lost contact with him, which means either he&#8211; he has gone rogue, which he is wont to do, or that&#8211; or that something terrible has happened to him. <i>[somber music]<\/i><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Well, um, pregnancy could be a possibility.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m late, but that&#8217;s not uncommon for me. I was really trying not to think about it, but after I got sick today, I&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Um, when was the last time that you were sexually active?<\/p>\n<p>A month ago, when I was still with Alex Kiriakis. I&#8217;m sure he and his new girlfriend would be thrilled if I&#8217;m knocked up.<\/p>\n<p>Hey, let&#8217;s not get ahead of ourselves, all right? Let&#8217;s just, uh, find out if you really are pregnant, OK? Come on.<\/p>\n<p>Here you go.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>Mm.<\/p>\n<p>Mm. So in addition to my awkward run-in with Joy, I got some more upsetting news. [scoffs] &#8220;Body and Soul&#8221; recast my role.<\/p>\n<p>[sighs] I&#8217;m sorry. Does this mean that you&#8217;re regretting your decision not to follow the show to LA?<\/p>\n<p>No. Absolutely not. I think that whole acting thing was, like, some weird detour for me. Besides, I have a hard enough time staying away from you and I live across the hall. How the hell would I manage across the country?<\/p>\n<p>[laughs] Well, why do you still seem bummed about this? 53<\/p>\n<p>Mm, I don&#8217;t know. I think now I&#8217;m just finally realizing that now that I don&#8217;t have the show to fall back on, it&#8217;s just driving home how&#8230; directionless I am right now.<\/p>\n<p>Directionless?<\/p>\n<p>I just need to find my purpose again. Or at the very least, a job.<\/p>\n<p>Well, I know of one place you could look for one. 54<\/p>\n<p>Yeah? Are you hiring an assistant? Because I can make this food delivery happen every single day.<\/p>\n<p>[laughs] No, that&#8217;s not what I meant.<\/p>\n<p>Oh.<\/p>\n<p>What do you think about going back to Titan? <i>[tense music]<\/i><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>What if I told you that Titan Industries is interested in acquiring DiMera Enterprises?<\/p>\n<p>Then I would tell you, you wasted your time, not to mention an egregious amount of jet fuel. DiMera is not for sale.<\/p>\n<p>No, but with enough shareholders on our side, we could gain majority control.<\/p>\n<p>[scoffs] A hostile takeover? The family will not side with you. At a minimum, you would need my vote, which I assure you, you will not get. Have a good day, gentlemen.<\/p>\n<p>Wait, Mr. Shin, please. [clears throat] What if we give you a position of power in the new regime? Look, DiMera is in a crisis, thanks to Kristen. Your CEO is a sociopath.<\/p>\n<p>So was your father, but he was good for the bottom line.<\/p>\n<p>But can you say the same for Kristen? Or EJ and Tony&#8217;s recent stints as head of the company? I&#8211;I mean, if they had delivered, we&#8217;d be having a different conversation. But time and time again, they&#8217;ve proven themselves liabilities to you and the other shareholders. I mean, I can barely keep track of all their scandals.<\/p>\n<p>Kristen was just accused of kidnapping a woman. Plus there&#8217;s the rumors of EJ&#8217;s involvement.<\/p>\n<p>Did you fly me all this way to deal with idle gossip?<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s more than gossip. What&#8217;s going to happen to the share price if the CEO is tried and convicted, and the only other family member waiting in the wings is also implicated?<\/p>\n<p>What makes you believe that Titan would be any less chaotic? It&#8217;s not even clear which of you Victor truly wanted to be his successor.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s true, isn&#8217;t it? His will and the letter he left, they completely contradict each other. It doesn&#8217;t make any sense. But when faced with that fact, Philip and I put aside our differences for the good of the company and its shareholders. Can you really say that Stefano&#8217;s heirs would be capable of doing the same? So Mr. Shin, are you in or are you out?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>It&#8217;s the not knowing that&#8217;s the worst part, isn&#8217;t it?<\/p>\n<p>Yes, it is. <i>[soft dramatic music]<\/i><\/p>\n<p>You know, when I didn&#8217;t know if my mom was alive or dead&#8230;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>It was agony. It was like a constant barrage of just worst-case scenarios consuming my every thought. But I did find my mom. And if a miracle can happen for us, why can&#8217;t it happen for you and John?<\/p>\n<p>We have faced and survived greater odds than this. But I guess there is a time when&#8230; people&#8217;s luck just runs out, even John&#8217;s. I don&#8217;t know what I will do if anything happens to him. [breathes deeply] Whew. Sorry for being unprofessional.<\/p>\n<p>Unprofessional? We talk about my love life on a regular basis. I would hardly call our relationship a professional one. [chuckles] And you&#8217;ve been there for me through some of the worst of my moments. If you think for a second that I&#8217;m not going to return the favor, then you don&#8217;t know me at all, Dr. Evans. <i>[gentle music]<\/i><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Look, not that it&#8217;s any of your business, but Cat and I, we&#8217;re working together on a fundraiser to save the hospital.<\/p>\n<p>Aw. So she&#8217;s gone from grifter to philanthropist?<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m sorry, what&#8217;s that saying about the grifters that live in glass houses?<\/p>\n<p>Fair enough. I just don&#8217;t want this woman hurting you again. Are we sure we can trust her?<\/p>\n<p>[laughs] OK, look, I appreciate your concern. But, uh&#8211;but you know what? We&#8217;re just doing our best to get past everything, OK? Well, she was being manipulated by Clyde, Leo.<\/p>\n<p>I get that. But a decent person wouldn&#8217;t then plant roots here in Salem, and they certainly wouldn&#8217;t play party planner with the guy they conned into marrying.<\/p>\n<p>The marriage was annulled.<\/p>\n<p>Because she was lying about her identity!<\/p>\n<p>OK, you know what? She doesn&#8217;t have feelings for me, OK? 65<\/p>\n<p>Why do you not seem thrilled about that?<\/p>\n<p>What are you talking about, not seem thrilled? I&#8217;m&#8211;I&#8217;m relieved, OK? Cat and I, we could never work. OK, you know what? Just stop. [stammers] She doesn&#8217;t have feelings for me. And this&#8211;that&#8211; it&#8217;s strictly professional.<\/p>\n<p>If you say so, Chadwick. [shudders]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>I must say, you put forth a very tantalizing offer.<\/p>\n<p>I fear there&#8217;s a but coming.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m a firm believer in honesty. I&#8217;ve been on the board of DiMera since Stefano himself ran the company, and I&#8217;m not comfortable about going behind his daughter&#8217;s back this way.<\/p>\n<p>Well, business is rarely comfortable.<\/p>\n<p>And your loyalty is not being returned in kind. EJ sat on evidence that could have brought your son&#8217;s killer to justice for months.<\/p>\n<p>To say nothing of the way Gabi treated him before that, and how Kristen protected her.<\/p>\n<p>Gabi broke Li&#8217;s heart into a million pieces. I often wonder if he&#8217;d still be alive if he hadn&#8217;t had the misfortune of being involved with her.<\/p>\n<p>If you ask me, the DiMeras have been taking your loyalty for granted.<\/p>\n<p>And just to be clear, Mr. Shin, regarding our proposal&#8211; while my brother and I would remain co-CEOs of the combined enterprise, you and you alone, sir, would oversee the DiMera holdings.<\/p>\n<p>I would need my position guaranteed in writing.<\/p>\n<p>Is that a yes?<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m in.<\/p>\n<p>This is fantastic news, Mr. Shin.<\/p>\n<p>I need to pitch this to my associates. And if we want to keep this secret, I should do this in person.<\/p>\n<p>Our driver will take you to the airstrip right now. The jet should be refueled by now.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll get back to you. I must say, I&#8217;m impressed.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Phil, you knocked that out of the park.<\/p>\n<p>You were pretty damn awe- inspiring yourself there, Xan.<\/p>\n<p>I know that. But seriously, we couldn&#8217;t have made that happen without you. Maybe we make a good team after all.<\/p>\n<p>I should get back to the office.<\/p>\n<p>What for? Let&#8217;s celebrate.<\/p>\n<p>You go on ahead. There&#8217;s a whole new set of numbers to crunch now. Our CFO&#8217;s head is going to spin.<\/p>\n<p>Well, don&#8217;t work too hard. <i>[soft music]<\/i><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>This is what you wanted all along, isn&#8217;t it? Your two sons bringing out the best in each other. The DiMeras won&#8217;t know what hit them.<\/p>\n<p>Titan?<\/p>\n<p>Uh-huh. You liked working there last year. You were happy, weren&#8217;t you?<\/p>\n<p>Hmm. Yeah. [phone beeps]<\/p>\n<p>Oh.<\/p>\n<p>That work?<\/p>\n<p>Mm. Yeah, my mom&#8217;s having trouble editing the deck I made. 72<\/p>\n<p>Oh, no. Can you just talk her through it?<\/p>\n<p>Uh, no. Trust me, it&#8217;ll be quicker if I just do it myself.<\/p>\n<p>OK.<\/p>\n<p>But we&#8217;ll talk more about this later.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>And think about it. Maybe your passion has always been with the family business.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. Thank you. 73<\/p>\n<p>Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>[sighs] Tell Mom I said hi.<\/p>\n<p>I will.<\/p>\n<p>So what happens now?<\/p>\n<p>Well, my nurse is bringing down your sample.<\/p>\n<p>God, please let it come back negative. The last thing I need right now is a baby.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s just&#8211; let&#8217;s try to stay calm until we know what you&#8217;re dealing with, OK? Just remember that you have options. You are in charge of what happens to you and your body. Never forget that.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. Thank you. I&#8217;m&#8211;I&#8217;m just&#8211;I&#8217;m scared.<\/p>\n<p>I understand. I&#8217;m here for you, OK? No matter what the test says.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>[knocking]<\/p>\n<p>Hey, there you are. 75<\/p>\n<p>Sorry. I, um&#8211;I got caught up with Dr. Evans. That&#8217;s why I&#8217;m late.<\/p>\n<p>Is everything OK?<\/p>\n<p>Um, no. No, it&#8217;s not OK. I don&#8217;t want to speak out of turn, but I know that you and Dr. Evans are close friends.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, more than friends. She&#8217;s family. Especially after&#8211; after her being there for me and my kids after we lost Abby.<\/p>\n<p>OK, well, um, you may need to return the favor.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s wrong?<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Evans just got really bad news about her&#8211; about her husband. <i>[soft dramatic music]<\/i><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Roman. [water sloshing, bell clanging]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>It&#8217;s Marlena.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Yes.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, Doc, it&#8217;s&#8211; it&#8217;s you. Oh, my God, it&#8217;s you. Oh, my&#8211;oh, my God. Oh, my God.<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t count the number of times our love has brought us back together. I hope we get to have it again. 78<\/p>\n<p>Report back the second Mr. Shin is wheels down in Hong Kong. We need to time everything just right. Keep me posted. Alex, long time no see. I&#8217;m afraid your father isn&#8217;t home yet.<\/p>\n<p>Well, that&#8217;s OK. I actually came by to see you.<\/p>\n<p>Hmm.<\/p>\n<p>I want to come back to Titan. <i>[curious music]<\/i> 79<\/p>\n<p>Cookie?<\/p>\n<p>What?<\/p>\n<p>They&#8217;re supposed to be a peace offering for my CFO. But you look like you could use one.<\/p>\n<p>Oh. Thank you, Philip, but I&#8217;m&#8211; I&#8217;m not hungry.<\/p>\n<p>Look, I know I&#8217;m not your favorite person because of how things ended with Chloe. But I&#8217;ve known you since you were a kid, so if you need to talk or you need anything, I&#8217;m here.<\/p>\n<p>Um, there is one thing that you could do for me.<\/p>\n<p>Name it.<\/p>\n<p>Are you hiring at Titan?<\/p>\n<p>Hi, this is Dr. Kiriakis.
