have some sort of a-a-- like an advocate.

>> Eric: I don't like the sound of this.

>> Rex: No, no, no, no. Just hear me out. Hear me out. So...

I will follow Sarah's lead, but in the meantime, why can't

somebody help her see how perfect we are for each other?

>> Eric: No. Rex, we've already done this once. You asked me

to be your wingman, and it didn't end well.

>> Rex: It's different this time. No, no, but it didn't end

because it was your fault. Sarah listens to you. She values

what you have to say. >> Eric: Listen, Rex, I'm not

gonna do this. This is between you and Sarah.

>> Rex: I'm asking you, Eric, as my brother, to help me secure

a future with the woman that means everything to me.

Why would you turn me down?

♪ ♪ >> Diana: John! What a nice

surprise. >> John: I made a decision here.

I'm gonna tell Leo that I'm his father.

>> Diana: Uh, we have discussed this.

>> John: Yeah, I know, you're all worried about how he's gonna

react, but I think that if he knows we are all connected,

he just might drop these charges against Will and Sonny.

Besides... I want to be a part of my son's

life. >> Diana: I don't think that's

a wise idea. >> John: I think the secret

coming out is going to be best for all of us.

>> Diana: Or, on the contrary, it could be a disaster.

[phone ringing]

[phone ringing] >> Will: Sonny. What's up?

>> Sonny: So check this out. Uncle Vic just cut a deal

with Leo's mom to get him out of our lives.

>> Will: What kind of deal? >> Sonny: I'm not sure, but I

think it has something to do with your grandmother.

[suspenseful string music] >> Marlena: You and Diana have

history? >> Victor: Bad history.

When I found out that she was Leo's mother, I've had my people

keeping close tabs on her. It seems she's had several

private encounters with your husband.

>> Marlena: I-I'm aware that John has met with her.

>> Victor: Are you aware that he's keeping a secret from you?

>> Marlena: What kind of a secret?

>> Victor: When Diana left Salem all those years ago,

she was pregnant... >> Marlena: Mm-hmm.

>> Victor: With John's child. >> Marlena: No, no, I'm sure

that's not true. >> Victor: I'm afraid it is.

John is Leo Starke's father.
