Tripp says she did the same for him. Wendy recalls that they were both dizzy and weak, but she remembers accepting Tripp’s marriage proposal and then exchanging their vows.

Wendy and Tripp open their gifts from Joey of a tea kettle and beer. Jada arrives and says she hates to interrupt but she has follow up questions for Tripp and Wendy.
Paulina tells Abe that she has something to admit to him and that is that she’s a little bit jealous of Lexie. Paulina knows it’s not rational or fair to her memory to want to be the love of Abe’s life. Paulina guesses it’s her want to be special to him and asks if that’s greedy of her. Abe calls it human and assures that she is the one he loves now and he loves her with all his heart for the rest of his life. Paulina comments on how lucky that makes her as they kiss.
Alex says clearly Brady hasn’t been listening and repeats that he and Kristen are just getting to know each other. Brady brings up Theresa despising Kristen. Alex asks what that has to do with him. Brady argues that he knew damn well that Theresa would blow a gasket over Alex and Kristen kissing. Alex says that Theresa went bye bye. Brady questions that being it and argues that he saw how Alex reacted when Theresa was high, so he knows he cares about her. Alex says he cared in past tense. Brady isn’t buying it and thinks he’s making a mistake if he’s just trying to make Theresa jealous. Brady warns that Theresa and Kristen are like fire and dynamite, so it might just blow up in his face.
Theresa tells Kristen that she did not give Alex up and his proposal was out of pity. Kristen asks why she even cares about her and Alex since she’s shacking up with Brady these days. Theresa argues that she’s temporarily staying at John and Marlena’s in her son’s room.

Kristen calls Alex a gem and says she really loves being with him. Kristen adds that she thinks Rachel will benefit from a positive male influence. Theresa calls that Brady’s job. Kristen says in a perfect scenario, Rachel would have her parents together but Brady is not open up to that idea. Theresa argues that men and women can co-parent without being together. Kristen remarks that it’s usually best for a child to be with their parents together in a loving relationship. Kristen says as much as she’s enjoying being with Alex, if someone helped Brady with the idea of a relationship with her then Alex wouldn’t stand a chance. Theresa decides she will see herself out and exits.
Alex tells Brady that resenting him playing games with his exes is hypocritical as he brings up walking in on Brady and Theresa kissing. Alex accuses Brady of playing games then and trying to make him jealous. Brady argues there was nothing to be jealous of as he was just there for her and it meant nothing. Brady asks why he’s bringing that up again. Alex says it’s because he doesn’t believe him. Brady is happy that Alex gave him the real scoop about what’s going on with Kristen, but warns that he’s dealing with two women who are a lot of work and who can make him miserable as he exits.
Brady goes to the DiMera Mansion and tells Kristen that they need to talk. Brady says he’s not staying long but he had a really enlightening conversation with Alex. Kristen asks how her boyfriend is. Brady responds that Alex is perplexed and views their relationship as purely fun and games while he had no idea he was a candidate to be a stepfather to Rachel. Kristen thinks Alex would make a great stepdad and maybe will even give her a baby brother or sister. Brady stops her and says that Alex said in no uncertain terms that they are not serious, so she’s never going to get a commitment out of Alex. Kristen responds that she thinks Brady is actually jealous.
Wendy tells Jada that she doesn’t recall Officer Goldman saying anything about where she was heading. Jada goes back to when Goldman kidnapped them from the park during the geocaching event. Wendy recalls her saying that they were in danger and that she needed to escort them to a safe location. Wendy adds that they got in to the back of an unmarked van and drove for awhile. Wendy says they remembered hearing airplanes and then Goldman locked them up in the beer tank by the airport. Jada tells her to continue whenever she’s ready. Wendy talks about how Officer Goldman would show up randomly with food and water. Wendy says they had no way to tell time and heard the vents close, so they thought that was it. Wendy adds that in those last moments, they exchanged wedding vows and held each other until they stopped breathing. Jada thanks her for sharing that as she knows it was very hard for her. Jada asks if Wendy considers herself married now. Wendy doesn’t know but says it felt right at the time. Jada says if they have a real marriage, it will last.
Stephanie tells Tripp that she keeps thinking about he and Wendy being locked up all that time and asks how they survived.

Theresa goes to Alex’s apartment. Alex asks if she came to pick up the stuff she left behind when she bolted. Theresa says was just stopping by. Alex mentions not seeing her around the office lately. Theresa says she’s been working remotely and seeing Tate a lot. Alex says that makes sense. Theresa brings up seeing Alex with Kristen earlier and says it really got her thinking that she needs to dig deep and think about their relationship. Theresa admits that maybe she overreacted when she packed her bags.
Tripp tells Stephanie and Kayla about he and Wendy exchanging vows and how they planned to get married for real if they were rescued. Stephanie says they are obviously in love and she’s so happy for them. Kayla says she’s happy for them too and she thinks Wendy is a great girl, but worries that they are both so young and were in a very intense situation. Kayla thinks maybe they should wait to think about marriage. Kayla says if they’re meant to be together, they will be and advises them not to rush anything. Jada comes over and says she just finished talking with Wendy so now she has to talk to Tripp. Kayla and Stephanie decide to go check on Wendy.
Paulina jokes with Abe about staying home all week. Abe suggests they start planning a nice, long and relaxing vacation.
Alex questions Theresa thinking she overreacted. Alex agrees that her moving out was a major overreaction, especially since he was just being honest about his feelings. Theresa says maybe she didn’t want to hear his feelings, but now that she’s had time to think, she thinks she should re-evaluate her decision. Theresa tells Alex that she’s missed him and she knows he’s missed her. They almost kiss but Alex thinks back to talking to Kristen about their plan to make Theresa jealous. Alex then tells Theresa that this isn’t a good idea and she needs to go now.
Jada asks Tripp if he picked up any clue as to where Officer Goldman and Clyde were going. Tripp says no as Goldman didn’t say much. Jada asks if anyone was ever with her. Tripp confirms she was always alone. Tripp gets a text from Ava, asking if he’s almost ready. Jada tells him that this is an open investigation, so she will need to speak with them again. Tripp says they want to help catch Goldman and Clyde any way they can, but right now he thinks it’s time for he and Wendy to go home.
Kayla and Stephanie go back to Wendy’s hospital room. Kayla asks how it went. Wendy guesses it was okay. Stephanie mentions that Tripp told them more about what they went through. Kayla calls the vows beautiful. Stephanie hugs Wendy and says she’s so sorry they went through all that but she’s happy Tripp wasn’t alone.
Brady tells Kristen that he’s not jealous of her and Alex. Kristen asks why he’s here then and why he cares who she’s with. Brady brings up that they have a daughter. Kristen argues that their daughter would be better off with both her parents. Brady questions her going down this road again and disagrees since they are awful together. Kristen argues that they loved each other once. Brady says it was in a very obsessive, destructive way. Kristen argues that they brought out the best in each other. Brady says maybe for five minutes. Kristen says maybe Brady doesn’t want to admit it or he’s suppressing the memories. Kristen brings up when they were alone in the bedroom as she grabs Brady and kisses him. Brady pulls away and questions what she’s doing. Kristen says it’s what they both want but Brady calls it the last thing he wants as he asks what the hell is wrong with her. Kristen questions how he can say that and says she kissed him because she was drawn to him. Kristen argues that he knows there’s an attraction between them. Brady states that they are a trainwreck and then storms out of the mansion. Kristen remarks that Brady’s mouth says no but his lips say yes, so it’s just a matter of time.
Theresa asks Alex if he’s sure this is what he wants. Alex confirms it is, so Theresa agrees to go but hopes she’ll see him again soon. Alex says they will see as Theresa then exits the apartment.
Paulina comments on her heart beating fast. Abe asks if she’s okay. Paulina assures that she is and that Kayla didn’t say anything about limiting their physical activity, so they head to the bedroom.
