Recap written by Michele and Cheryl

Alex told Xander that he talked to Sarah, and she admitted that she still loved him and missed him. Xander was affected by what Alex told him, but he changed the subject. He admitted that Stephanie’s idea officially announcing Philip as co-CEO. Alex thought it would get them out of harm’s way. He thought it would be better for Xander to have half of something instead of all of nothing. Sarah told Marlena that Kristen should have come forward sooner than she did. Marlena tried to defend Kristen which surprised Sarah. After they talked about Kristen and Rachel, they moved onto Marlena’s health issues. Marlena confided in Sarah that Susan thought she was sick mind, body and soul. Sarah didn’t take Susan’s theories seriously. Susan’s theory gave her an idea. She remembered that Marlena was just in Estonia and it’s a high-risk area for tick-borne illnesses. Sarah wanted to run tests for that. Marlena asked her about Xander. Sarah admitted that she still loved him, but she couldn’t go back to the man he’s become. She hoped that Marlena could help him get to the source of his anger for the sake of their daughter. Susan interrupted Johnny and Chanel’s private celebration. They talked about the trial. Susan never got the feeling that Kristen was the one who shot EJ. Johnny and Chanel told her that Kristen confessed to the crime. Susan backed down and allowed them to go back to their celebration. She left their apartment and had a grim look on her face.

Susan went to see Marlena to apologize to her for what she told her. She felt another chill down her spine. Susan warned Marlena that whatever happened to her has gotten worse. Marlena was interested in hearing her theories. She slammed the door on her. Sarah ran into Xander. He wanted her to admit to what Alex said to him, but she didn’t. Sarah didn’t see a point in discussing it and left with Victoria. Gabi had a fountain pen and didn’t need Steve’s help. Javi arrived, and she begged him to be her assistant again. He didn’t want to do it because he liked his new job. They talked about her life. Javi told her that the only thing missing in her life was love. Gabi confided in Javi that there were two guys that she might be interested in. She admitted that she felt a connection to one of them, and the other was the reason why she didn’t come home last night. After she talked with Javi, she went to Xander’s office. She left a report, and the pen on his desk.
