Recap written by Michele and Cheryl

Xander told Philip that EJ called in their loan, and they had to pay everything by the end of the month. Alex walked so they told him what happened. He felt like they gloated to EJ too much. Gabi felt like she made things worse for them by playing around with EJ. Alex called them all out for not keeping their mouths shut. Dimitri let Leo know that he was the only one who would care if something happened to him. Gwen reminded him that he would care if Leo didn’t come back. She was glad that Leo ruined their marriage since he was a horrible person. Dimitri told her that she was bait for Leo. He planned to make love to Leo, but he was going to hide them somewhere that no one would find them in case someone actually looked for them. Javi talked to Rafe and told him that he was going to Alamania. He started to tell Rafe about it when Joy walked in the pub clutching her arm and doubling over in pain. Javi rushed to her side. Rafe called 9-1-1 when she got numbness in her arm.

Stephanie was at the hospital and talked to Kayla about her situation with Joy when Javi and Rafe showed up. Joy was brought to the hospital. Kayla rushed to help her. Joy wanted Kayla to call Philip. Philip was getting called out by Alex. Alex decided to take over and rushed to the hospital. He was by Joy’s side. Alex wouldn’t let Stephanie watch Kelsey so he took her to Joy’s room. Kayla left them alone. Joy was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to take care of Kelsey. Alex assured her that she wouldn’t be alone. Joy was happy that he came to see her instead of Philip. Kayla told Stephanie about what happened to Joy. She warned her that things could be bad for her. Leo and Gwen discussed ways to escape until they came up with an idea. He was going to fake being hurt to get out of the house. Leo pretended to have an appendicitis, and Dimitri became worried about him. Dimitri was trained so he would take out his appendix. Leo panicked so the plan didn’t work. Javi continued to talk to Rafe about going to Alamania. Rafe wondered what Gus would think about it. Javi told him that Gus was understanding about it. Rafe said that might not be true. Kayla told Joy that she had spinal stenosis. She assured Joy that she could live with it with a lot of treatments. Joy wasn’t sure about that. Alex told Stephanie about what happened. He’s going to watch Kelsey while Joy was in the hospital. Alex wanted to move into Joy’s room, but Stephanie said he wasn’t doing that.
