Recap written by Michele and Cheryl
When Kate went to see Philip, he told her about switching lawyers. Kate thought it was something that he had his exes working for him. He ignored her comment and asked her to testify for him, but she didn’t think it was a good idea. She said she felt uncomfortable talking about the letter on the stand because she couldn’t trust Vivian not to say anything about the letter. He said Belle wouldn’t ask about the letter. Kate said she wished she didn’t know about the letter and that she was keeping secrets from Roman. She said she would cover for him, but she wouldn’t lie for him in court. At the pub, Shawn told Roman that he was staying in town for a while and was back on the force. Roman was happy for him and said he and Belle were missed. Shawn told him that his marriage was over and Belle left town. While they were talking, Shawn explained what happened between him and Belle. Roman told him about breaking up with Marlena and how it took a while to heal from it, but things worked out the way they should have. After Roman and Shawn were finished talking, Kate showed up and told Roman that Belle was Philip’s lawyer. Roman was surprised that Belle was Philip’s lawyer and thought Kate should try to get along with her. Kate said Belle should leave town. While they were talking, Roman got a call from Vivian. He wondered what she wanted.
At the town house, Brady gave Belle her divorce papers. She wondered if she would see Shawn again since he was leaving town to see Bo. While they were talking, she told Brady that was staying in town to represent Philip. Brady was shocked. She told him why she was representing Philip and asked him to testify against Xander. Brady refused to do it because he and Xander put everything behind them. Also, he worked for Xander. He reminded her that Philip tried to frame him for murder. She said she would subpoena him, but he said it wouldn’t work. She said she would find another way to win. While Justin was in the Kiriakis mansion working on Xander’s case, Maggie came into the room. He asked her to testify for Xander. Justin thought it would be better to have a character witness who knew Victor since the judge was unpredictable. She said she didn’t want to get in the middle of the case. When Justin tried to convince her to testify, Maggie said Victor never talked to her about things like that. She said Victor wanted Xander to run Titan, but Philip was Victor’s son too. Since it was a legal matter, she didn’t want anything to do with it. Shawn and Belle ran into each other at the town square and found out they weren’t leaving town. They told each other why they were staying in town. She asked if he could be a witness for her. Xander, Sarah, and Justin went to the courtroom. When Justin and Sarah went to get coffee, Philip showed up. Xander said he was giving him a chance to back out of the case because it wasn’t good for Maggie. Philip refused to give up on the case. When Xander left, Belle showed up. Philip told her Kate couldn’t make it to which Belle said Brady couldn’t either. When everyone came back to the courtroom, the judge showed up. The case began. Belle declared Victor’s letter as evidence. She entered Philip’s letter from his doctor as evidence. Philip faking his death was the reason why Victor didn’t leave him the company. She called Shawn to the stand. Shawn testified that Philip was groomed to run Titan and was the perfect choice for the job. He said he was sure Victor would have wanted it that way. Justin asked Shawn if he thought they should forget about Victor’s will to which Shawn said they shouldn’t. When Belle had nothing further, Justin presented the will to the judge and said Victor’s will was clear. He presented a letter from Alex who supported Xander. Belle said Alex should be there to testify so she could cross examine him. Justin said Alex was working on Body and Soul. The judge said that excuse wasn’t good enough and refused the evidence. Justin called Sarah to the stand. Sarah testified that Xander loved his father. She said Philip was gone for most of Victor’s final years and brought up how he laundered Titan’s money with Ava. Belle asked Sarah about Victor keeping Philip as CEO after he found out about the scheme while Xander quit. Sarah said Philip quit and things took a turn for the worst. Belle asked if Sarah loved him and would do anything for Xander. Sarah said she would, but she wouldn’t lie for him. She said her testimony was truthful. Belle asked if she would lie about Xander attempting to kill Brady.
