The People of Fairmont Crest Mourn Derek Baldwin!

[00:00:00][ACOUSTIC BALLAD] # # # This feels like you're saying goodbye # # The harder I try # Oh, Vanessa.

[00:00:14]Mm.

[00:00:15]So good to see you here.

[00:00:16]I had to come.

[00:00:18]Well, I appreciate it.

[00:00:20]I know you know all too well what it's like to go through this.

[00:00:23]Unfortunately.

[00:00:27]Hi, Liam.

[00:00:29]Hi.

[00:00:30]Hank.

[00:00:31]Oh, it's so good to see you.

[00:00:32]Thank you so much for coming.

[00:00:34]Yeah, the guys on duty send their love.

[00:00:37]We brought something for Derek's dad, too.

[00:00:40]Oh, you know, he didn't feel up for coming today, but I'll make sure to deliver it to him later.

[00:00:45]Yeah.

[00:00:46]He's going through a lot right now.

[00:00:49]Liam, Hank, you want to get a drink?

[00:00:51]All right.

[00:00:56]Hi.

[00:00:57]Oh, my heart breaks for Brian.

[00:01:00]He's going through every parent's worst nightmare.

[00:01:03]But you know what?

[00:01:04]Maybe it's a good thing that he isn't here.

[00:01:06]He still blames Jacob for everything that happened.

[00:01:10]As a parent, I can understand.

[00:01:12]Mom, you know, everybody that's here knows that Derek died trying to save Jacob.

[00:01:15]But they don't know that Jacob's working undercover, so you gotta just-- OK?

[00:01:21]I promise not to let anything slip.

[00:01:26]Jacob?

[00:01:27]Hi.

[00:01:28]Hi.

[00:01:31]I'm so sorry for your loss.

[00:01:33]Thanks, Vanessa.

[00:01:35]This is my brother, Isaiah.

[00:01:36]Isaiah.

[00:01:38]Our paths have crossed a few times because of Eva and the clinic.

[00:01:42]Eva should be here soon.

[00:01:44]I've been reading about this plasma ring.

[00:01:47]Where do things stand with the investigation?

[00:01:50]Is that question coming from you?

[00:01:52]Or your boyfriend?

[00:01:54][KNOCK] Hey, you have a minute?

[00:01:58]I wanted to congratulate you.

[00:02:00]Sure.

[00:02:01]But I can't think why congratulations would be in order.

[00:02:04]Oh, how quickly we forget.

[00:02:07]You have quite a streak going.

[00:02:08]Our daughter, our niece, our friend's daughter, and now our granddaughter all named Platinum Deb, with your able assistance.

[00:02:17]I love that the experience was so validating for Samantha.

[00:02:22]She was starting to feel like she didn't fit in.

[00:02:24]It makes it even worse that punk tried to cheat her out of her big moment.

[00:02:28]I can't understand why the Belleclaires would allow Francesca to be escorted by someone like that.

[00:02:33]Just immature.

[00:02:36]Francesca asked him herself.

[00:02:39]Apparently, she was trying to make Samantha jealous.

[00:02:41]Oh, an idiot like that?

[00:02:43]Oh, you remember when Samantha got grounded for having a boy over without permission?

[00:02:51]That was the boy?

[00:02:52]Yeah.

[00:02:54]You know, since you and I stopped living together, I feel like I'm the last to hear things, like June being our grandkid's mom, or Kat moving in with Anita and Vernon, or Eva sleeping with Kat's boyfriend.

[00:03:07]I'm starting to realize how much I relied on you to keep me in the family loop.

[00:03:15]Hey, Bill.

[00:03:16]Dani.

[00:03:18]Hey.

[00:03:19]Have you had a chance to talk to Naomi about Jacob?

[00:03:21]How's he doing?

[00:03:22]I haven't had much of a chance to catch up with her.

[00:03:24]She's spending a lot of time with Ashley.

[00:03:27]Yeah, yeah.

[00:03:28]That's understandable.

[00:03:29]You know, under the circumstances.

[00:03:31]I'm sure she appreciates you taking over Madison's case now that her hands are so full.

[00:03:35]Not a problem.

[00:03:36]I'm going to enjoy putting Mike in his place.

[00:03:39]Good.

[00:03:40]Just wish you hadn't waited so long to do it.

[00:03:42]If you'd dealt with him years ago-- Years ago, Mike wasn't this out of control.

[00:03:45]OK?

[00:03:46]And I don't know what happened to him to make him change like that.

[00:03:48]Mike is the same skeezy wretch he's always been, the same guy whose eyes used to walk all over me when you weren't looking.

[00:03:54]He wouldn't dare.

[00:03:57]Dani, you never said anything!

[00:03:59]Why would I?

[00:04:00]What were you going to do about it?

[00:04:04]Joey and I want to see justice done.

[00:04:09]And since that awful crime ring is why Derek lost his life, it matters very much to both of us.

[00:04:14]Like, Derek put his all into launching the clinic that honors my late husband's memory.

[00:04:21]His death will lead a tremendous void in all of our lives.

[00:04:25]Well, you can tell Joey that I won't rest until I bring everyone involved down.

[00:04:29]For Derek's sake.

[00:04:30][DOOR SHUTS] [SOFT POP MUSIC] # # Andre.

[00:04:41]You and Derek were close?

[00:04:44]No, not-- not really.

[00:04:45]I was friends with Ashley first.

[00:04:47]But it didn't take long for me to grow to like Derek.

[00:04:51]He was a good guy.

[00:04:53]Yeah.

[00:04:54]Well, we'll really miss him at the clinic.

[00:04:58]Baby.

[00:04:59]Hi.

[00:05:03]Andre.

[00:05:04]See ya.

[00:05:06]Sorry I couldn't ride over with you.

[00:05:07]Yeah, I was starting to worry.

[00:05:09]Things crazy at the clinic?

[00:05:11]A little.

[00:05:12]Scheduling becomes a huge event when you're dealing with volunteers.

[00:05:16]Things are constantly changing.

[00:05:17]Hmm.

[00:05:18]Who knew?

[00:05:19]Derek.

[00:05:20]He made it all look so easy.

[00:05:22]# # I'm so glad you're here.

[00:05:35]Yeah.

[00:05:36]I wouldn't miss this for anything.
