Recap written by Michele and Cheryl
Marlena looked at John’s picture and had flashbacks of their time together. She wondered where he could be and what she would tell their children. Brady arrived at Marlena’s office looking for advice about Ava. He noticed that she seemed off so he wondered what happened. Marlena told him that she had bad news for him. John was missing. Marlena told him about her conversation with Shane. She said that Shane was trying to find John. They don’t know if John is alive or not. Brady gave her a hug. She apologized for worrying him. He was grateful to have her. Marlena told him that the ISA were going to retrace John’s steps, and they have their best people looking for him. Brady wondered if Paul knew what happened to John. Marlena let him know that he didn’t know. She had to tell Paul and Belle because she didn’t know either. He would tell Paul if she told Belle. Marlena appreciated him doing that. He wanted them to stay positive about finding John. Kayla talked to Stephanie about the flash drive she gave her, but she seemed distracted. Stephanie told her that she overheard Sarah tell someone on the phone that Joy was pregnant. They talked about it. Stephanie thought the drama between her and Alex was over. Kayla told her they didn’t know for a fact that Joy was pregnant with Alex’s baby. Stephanie asked if she could check the lab, but Kayla couldn’t do that. She didn’t know what to tell Alex so Kayla thought she shouldn’t tell him anything. Kayla warned her that the hospital could be liable for HIPAA violations if she told Alex about the baby. IT’s better for Stephanie to keep what she knew to herself. Kayla said that Joy might tell Alex about the pregnancy. Ava and Belle met at the pub to prepare her statement about the kidnapper. Belle planned to prosecute EJ, Kristen and Rachel Blake. Ava wanted to help her put EJ and Kristen away but she couldn’t do it. Belle was confused by that announcement. Ava let her know that she’s not pressing charges because of Brady. Belle didn’t understand so Ava told her that Rachel would get in trouble if she pressed charges. She didn’t plan on prosecuting a child, but Ava told her that CPS would take her from Brady and Kristen if something else happened. Belle understood, but she had to prosecute the case. She thought it might be good for CPS to get involved and let Rachel stay with Brady for a while. Ava was afraid the plan would backfire, and Brady could lose Rachel too. Belle informed her that the case falls apart without her help. She would let criminals go free. Ava knew that, but she didn’t think Brady should pay for what Kristen and her mother did. She wanted to tear Kristen apart the next time she saw her. Kristen showed up out of the blue. Belle thought it was her chance to get her.
Kristen was glad that Ava talked to Brady about everything. She wanted to protect her daughter from selfish people. Kristen looked in Belle’s direction. Belle told her that people believed in justice. Kristen wondered if she had the paperwork ready to release her mother. Belle told her the court was closed so her mother had to spend another night in jail. She left Kristen and Ava alone when she left. Kristen wondered if she had something to say. Ava stood up and slapped her. Belle went to the hospital to visit with her mother. Marlena told her there was some news about her father. Brady was at the DiMera mansion. He called Paul to tell him about their father. Kristen walked in the room with an ice pack. He wondered what happened to her so she told him about what happened with Ava. Brady told her that she was lucky he didn’t press charges against her. After Kristen walked off, Brady called Ava. He wanted to thank her for not pressing charges against Kristen. He was sorry about everything. Ava was sorry too and hung up the phone. Joy talked to Philip about working at Titan. He asked her questions about her qualifications. Philip told her that he had to talk to Xander first. She was hoping he would talk to him soon because she needed the job. As far as he’s concerned, she was hired at Titan. Meanwhile, Alex talked to Xander about getting his job back at Titan. Xander was willing to hire him at the company because they needed more family at the company. Later Philip and Xander met and talked about hiring Joy and Alex. Xander hoped Philip would be okay with Alex being at the company. Philip wondered if Joy and Alex could work together because of Stephanie. Xander thought it was okay for Joy to quit, but Alex was family. He could help them take down the DiMeras. They needed Alex. Joy ran into Alex at the town square. They talked about seeing each other in town since they were staying in Salem. Joy was about to tell him something else, but she chickened out. As they talked, they realized they would be working at Titan together. Stephanie appeared while they talked about working together again.
