Holly says she’s terrible at it, so Sofia offers to tutor him. He shifts and stammers as he accepts. He apologizes again for hitting her in the face with a football.

As Theresa suggests Alex open up a trust fund for future heirs or something else with his money, his new drone arrives. She wonders where he’ll put all this stuff. He offhandedly says it’s coming with him when he moves to the mansion. Taking note of her wounded expression, Alex assures her she can stay there as long as she needs. He’ll cover the rent, which is pocket change. “Oh my God!” she exclaims. “You don’t get it, do you?”
At the townhouse, Brady brings up Rachel. It drives him crazy how much time Alex gets to spend with her. Marlena doesn’t think Alex and Kristen are that serious. Brady didn’t think so either, but they’re really demonstrative with each other. “Well, there’s a bad visual,” Marlena blurts. Brady thinks Alex is a shallow womanizer, but Marlena disagrees. Regardless, it doesn’t sit well with him that another guy gets to spend more time with his daughter than he does.

At the apartment, Theresa tells Alex she doesn’t want to live there without him. She never wanted to break up in the first place. She was just embarrassed when he didn’t propose, so she pushed him away to play hard to get. She promises not to play any more games. “Just tell me it’s not too late.”
At the penthouse, Brady tells Marlena he’s setting up a trust for Rachel and Tate, and asks her to sign as a witness. Marlena gapes at the amount. Brady explains Maggie is sharing Victor’s wealth with the relatives who were cut out of his will. Marlena wonders when she decided this.
