Recap written by Michele and Cheryl

Stephanie arrived at her parents’ house with Christmas presents. She talked to Kayla about Alex having a fling with Joy. Stephanie wasn’t happy about them being together. She thought she should be okay with it since she kissed Philip. Kayla was surprised to hear that news, but her daughter assured her that she wasn’t getting back together with Philip. It was just one kiss that didn’t mean anything. Kayla wanted her to remember why their relationship didn’t work the first time. Philip didn’t protect her during the DiMera and Kiriakis feud, and she almost got killed over it. Stephanie assured her that she wouldn’t get back together with Philip. Alex ran into Philip in the town square. He sarcastically congratulated him on getting half of Titan. Philip knew about the letter he wrote on Xander’s behalf and that it was thrown out of court. Alex thought the decision was the best one and hoped he and Xander could work together. He hoped he and Philp could get along. Philip wasn’t sure because he kissed Stephanie. Alex tried to hide his disgust, but he told him that he was good. Stephanie could date anyone she wanted. Philip said they weren’t dating yet, but she seemed like she wanted to after they kissed. With disdain in his voice, Alex wished them the best. Paulina congratulated Jada for bringing Hattie in. Jada admitted that Rafe found her first, and she got a lawyer before they could question her about the poisoned cupcakes. Paulina demanded that she control Rafe. Jada wasn’t comfortable with her demand. Paulina wanted her to offer Rafe more money to come back to the force. Jada told her that he wasn’t about the money because he loved his new job. Paulina warned her to get to the bottom of the cupcake mystery because she didn’t want to make another commissioner change.

EJ opened the door to a man he thought was Rafe. The man walked in the mansion wearing casual clothes and dog tags. He helped himself to a drink. EJ was upset about his behavior. The man let him know that he wasn’t Rafe. He told him that he was Arnold Feniger, and he ran out of money while he was in Argentina. He was back to get more money from EJ. They talked about EJ paying him a lot of money to break up Rafe and Sami. Arnold went rogue during their plan. EJ and Stefano had Arnold stabbed in a holding cell to keep him from testifying against them. They decided to spare his life in case they needed him one day. Arnold informed him that he was at his service. EJ didn’t want him there. There’s a flashback of an inmate calling a guard about Arnold getting stabbed. The guard couldn’t find a pulse and left to get the warden. Arnold opened his eyes. The inmate told him that he would be shipped out of there thanks to the DiMeras. Rafe met with Steve at the pub. Steve congratulated him for finding Hattie especially since the police couldn’t do it. Rafe was glad that he was happy about it, but Jada didn’t like it. He had a feeling it will cause a rift between him and Jada and wondered if it was a good idea for him to keep working for Black Patch. Steve reminded him that he needed a job. He also told him that he needed him. Rafe wouldn’t leave him in a lurch with John on a big mission. He decided not to leave because he loved the job. Later, Rafe and Jada arrived at home. They apologized to each other about Hattie. Rafe and Jada agreed to figure things out together. They professed their love for each other. Johnny arrived at the DiMera mansion and wondered why “Rafe” was there. EJ lied about hiring him for a case he couldn’t discuss. Arnold playfully poked at EJ so Johnny called it a Christmas miracle. Johnny left them alone. EJ agreed to give Arnold more money and wanted him to go back to Argentina. He wasn’t allowed to come back to Salem. Arnold felt like he would find him useful. He had a mind of his own and wouldn’t be pushed around. Arnold decided to stay in Salem for a while.
