Gabi went to the DiMera mansion to meet with Tony. He wanted to know if she had a plan to get the company back. Gabi said she didn’t have one. Tony said he had a plan. He said to cause fighting within the Kiriakis family. Gabi said she noticed that there was tension between Xander and Philip, but she didn’t know why they were fighting. Tony said someone might know why. She said she liked the plan. He said he was glad she was willing to go along with the plan since she didn’t want to turn on Xander at first. Gabi said business was business and walked out. Kayla went to see Steve at Black Patch. She said she was distracted thinking about John. He said he knew what she meant. Steve told her that Julie got her necklace back. He told her how Julie got the necklace back. Kayla said she didn’t like the idea of Doug stealing, but he did the right thing. While they were talking, Kayla told Steve about Marlena fainting in court. After Kayla left, Gabi showed up to hire Steve to investigate Xander and Philip. Steve refused to take the case. He believed they were shady, but he stayed away from personal cases. Gabi didn’t believe him. Steve said his brother-in-law and nephews were Kiriakises and Stephanie was dating Alex and had a past with Philip. He asked what was in it for Gabi. She said Xander and Philip wouldn’t let her take Gabi Chic so she had to play hardball. After some convincing, Steve changed his mind and said he would take the case.

Marlena went to work. Kayla was surprised to see her. Marlena said she didn’t have any symptoms and was there to consult with Dr. Fuller on a patient. Kayla asked her to wait a few days, but Marlena said she was that patient. Marlena said what was wrong with her wasn’t physical. She thought it had to do with her soul. Kayla asked if she was possessed again. Marlena said she wasn’t. She said there was a time when Stefano used to invade her dreams and would refer to her as his Queen of the Night. Marlena said that left her vulnerable for possession. Kayla said that was a long time ago. Marlena said she hadn’t forgotten how that felt and let her know she had a dream about being the Queen of the Night. She said Susan’s premonition had her worried too. Kayla said Stefano was dead. Marlena knew he was gone. She told her what happened when she read Rachel a story from Arabian Nights and the dream was similar. Kayla said that the story and stress was why she had the dream. Marlena said it could explain the dream. She left for her appointment and would let Kayla know what happened. While Gwen was moving her things, Julie showed up to show off the necklace. Gwen accused her of stealing the necklace. Julie said she couldn’t steal something that was hers. She told Gwen to call the police and file a report. Gwen told her to enjoy the necklace for now. Julie told her that she better not be threatening her. She warned Gwen that she would get what was coming to her if she ever showed up at the house. While they were arguing a man showed up and yelled at Gwen. When Gwen left, Julie thanked Foster. He said he missed her and she said the same thing. They talked about the necklace and his bookstore. Foster told her he was selling the bookstore to be with his family in California. He said he would miss the store, but he missed his family more. Marlena told Kayla about the appointment. She said she had more questions than answers. Marlena said she couldn’t shake the unsettling feeling. She said she didn’t know if she wanted the answers.
