Tate regretted telling Julie what Doug did. Sophia arrived at the townhouse to let him know that she was feeling hopeful about the adoption. Her mother had a few more questions to ask. If she approved of the answers, they would be set. Tate was glad, but he was distracted. He told Sophia what happened with Doug. Tate broke his promise to Holly to keep Doug’s actions a secret. Holly was spending more time with Doug than him so he got upset. He wasn’t thinking when he told Julie that Doug stole the necklace. Tate knew that Holly would be upset with him once she found out what he did. Paulina saw Doug sleeping on a bench at the park. She left her bag of food for him. Doug woke up when his phone went off. He told Holly that Julie threw him out. He let her know that it might have been easier if he got a chance to talk to Julie first. Doug thought Melinda was the one who told Julie the truth. Holly put it together that he was homeless and invited him to stay with her. Later Doug arrived at the Kiriakis mansion. Holly wanted him to get out of his wet clothes. He wasn’t sure that Maggie and Tate would be okay with him staying there. Holly planned on asking her grandmother if he could stay there. Julie was sitting in the living room when Maggie arrived. Maggie showed up with lemon bars for Julie and Doug. Julie told her that she kicked Doug out because he stole the necklace. Maggie was shocked to hear that. She wondered why Doug would do something like that, but Julie didn’t care because he was a thief. Doug betrayed her after she allowed him to stay there. He was supposed to be her miracle after losing Doug. Her heart was breaking again. Maggie wondered how she found out the truth. She told Maggie that Tate called her and told her about it. Julie wasn’t sure how he found out, but he told her the truth. She wished she could stop worrying about whether he was okay. They wondered how much Holly knew about it since she was spending time with Doug.
