Steve told Kayla about Alex’s police record. He asked for her help with his case. Steve asked if Stephanie said anything to her about Philip or Alex’s business dealings. Kayla said the only thing she knew was Stephanie broke up with Philip because she saw a bad side to him. She said that Stephanie saw a side that reminded her of Victor. Stephanie called Steve to come over to her place so she could confront him about investigating Alex. Steve couldn’t answer her but he couldn’t let her warn Alex about a potential threat. While they were talking, Steve realized Stephanie knew more than she was letting on. Gabi and Xander agreed to keep things professional and forget about their kiss. Xander asked her how to know the red flags when picking out a nanny. Gabi told him he was the red flag because he was a control freak. She said he couldn’t raise his daughter the way he ran his company. While she was talking, she said she had an idea of how to make the company better. Before she could answer, Alex showed up. When Gabi left, Alex told Xander that the person looking into them was using an alias so there was no way to find out who it was. Xander said his failure was unacceptable. He said the merger was above board but things were compromised because of Philip’s fraud. Xander said he wanted to hire Stephanie to help them get ahead of the story. Alex didn’t think she would do it. Xander ordered him to make it happen. He said Alex wouldn’t want to see what would happen if he messed up again.
