Victor calls everyone to a meeting at his house; he welcomes everyone, Sonny, Philip, Deimos, Brady and Justin.  He tells them all that he is retiring, once and for all, to spend more time with Maggie; they all toast to Maggie being on her feet again.  He tells them all that they need to deal with the future of Titan; Victor announces that he is giving the helm to Deimos and says they will all report to Deimos just as they reported to him.  They are all pissed.  Victor hands them a booklet with new guidelines and job assignments; Philip gets pissed, chews his father out for this decision – saying nothing he said when they had that little talk was true – he throws down his copy of the changes and storms out.  Victor actually chases after him and apologizes; says he could have handled things better in there, and knows he’s not very good at being a father.  He tries to explain that what he is doing is for the best long-term survival of the company, and of their family, which includes him.  He says he can’t go on arguing with him about everything; he tells him he needs him with him right now.  

Deimos tries to talk to the rest of the guys, attempting to be encouraging.  Victor comes back in, unsure of what Philip is going to do; Philip comes back in and hugs his father.  Deimos take s Brady aside and tells him that he needs his help; he says the others won’t listen to him and he needs Brady to persuade them to listen.  Victor takes Justin aside and makes him a generous offer; he tells him that he needs him to oversee things, to make sure that everyone works together because he knows the meaning of family.  Justin says, indeed, he does.  He goes back in and oversees the signing of the documents by everybody.  

Abe’s heart stops; Theo starts freaking out… the nurse closes the door.  They get his heart restarted and stabilize him; Kayla tells Theo he is alright now.  He asks if his heart will stop again; Kayla says she doesn’t know.  Theo gets mad at the surgeon when she comes out of the room; she assures him she will figure out why this happened so it won’t happen again.  Theo gets even more upset when the surgeon tells him he can’t go in to see his dad right now.  Theo sneaks in anyway; he touches Abe’s hand, and he wakes up.  Abe tells him not to worry; he says he’s not going to leave him – Theo says he is not going to leave him, either.  The surgeon tells Kayla that they are going to have to open Abe back up to fix what they missed the first time (a defect in his heart that went unnoticed).  Theo wants his dad to get a different surgeon, but Abe assures him that he has all the faith in the world in Valerie.  

Rafe invites Hope on a trip out of town; she tells him she can’t go right now, so he goes and sets up a ‘fake’ camp sight in the park and calls Hope to meet him there.  She loves the surprise.  The get all sappy, sitting on the ground, pretending to look at stars (which they can’t really see with all the city lights) play-acting like they are out in the wilderness – he tells her he hopes the past few weeks can become a distant memory.  She says it already has.
