Just as Alex is wrapping up the press conference, Tony makes his grand entrance. Alex tries shooing him away, but Tony chuckles him off and tells the press he’s filed a lawsuit contesting the DiMera takeover — on fraud.
Leo tries playing reporter and asking follow-up questions, but Tony just says all will be revealed in due time. Gabi wanders in as innocently as she can manage after getting a notification about the press conference.

Alex calls his cousins with the news, then runs off after Tony warns him that they’d better settle — leaving Stephanie to field the questions! She multitasks admirably, noticing Tony and Gabi both slink off, while successfully shutting down the press conference.
Gabi chases Tony down outside the pub, annoyed he never gave her the heads up about his stunt. But she still enjoyed it because she’s delightfully petty like that. Tony insists this’ll all be over quickly, but plays coy about when Gabi’s going to be installed as CEO. “Before you know it, DiMera’s rightful CEO will be at the helm.” Yeah, she’s never getting the job.
