Johnny went to visit Chanel at the hospital. She told him what happened to her back. Flashes appeared to him of them having sex at the hospital. Stiffly, he asked her how she threw her back out. Chanel explained that she did it when she reached for her shoe. He didn’t seem convinced about that. Johnny was about to talk to her about it when Alex showed up in the room. At the police station, Brady remembered Fiona was driving his car the night Sarah was hit. He thanked Eric for triggering his memory. If he didn’t help him, he wouldn’t have known he was innocent. Eric vowed to get him out of jail and make Fiona pay for what she did. Xander managed to stop Fiona from pushing Sarah down the stairs. Demanding answers, Xander wanted to know why she was hurting his wife. Sarah chimed in and told him that Fiona didn’t want him to know that she was the reason she was in the wheelchair.

Xander took his mother downstairs so Victoria wouldn’t hear his rage. He yelled at her, and Fiona tried to defend herself. Fiona couldn’t tell the truth because Xander was the one good thing in her life. With tears flowing, Fiona told him that reconnecting with him was wonderful. Xander understood how she fell off the wagon, but he couldn’t forgive her for hitting Sarah and leaving her. She also framed an innocent man for her crime.

Johnny got angry while Alex and Chanel talked about their delayed love scenes. After Alex left, Chanel noticed Johnny was acting differently. His excuse was that it was a long day. Chanel felt his jealousy vibes. He didn’t know what she was talking about since she wasn’t having sex with Alex. Chanel was confused by what he said. Brady was confused that Sarah would tell the police he hit her with his car when he didn’t do it. Eric informed him that Sarah wasn’t protecting Fiona. They would get to the bottom of that soon. Jada joined them to hear Brady’s story. She needed more proof. Eric told her that she could talk to Fiona and Sarah to get the proof. Xander might have felt sorry for Fiona if he didn’t walk in on her trying to kill his wife. She wasn’t going to do it. Fiona panicked and didn’t know what to do. She was ashamed of herself. He told her that’s when she usually runs. Fiona told him that she stayed because she couldn’t lose him. Disgusted, Xander said she lost him anyway. She lost him for good. Johnny helped Chanel get into bed. She wanted him to get in bed with her, but he had work to do. Johnny went downstairs to get a drink. Thoughts of Alex and Chanel flooded his mind.

Filled with anger, Xander informed Fiona that his rage was different from what he experienced when he thought Brady hit Sarah. He felt anger and disgust.

She decided to call EJ to find out for herself, but Xander grabbed the phone. Eric asked Sarah if she was covering for Fiona being the driver who hit her.

At the DiMera mansion, Xander admitted that EJ wouldn’t allow Sarah to recant her statement. EJ wouldn’t drop the charges against Brady. Kristen suggested that Sarah publicly recant her statement or tell Paulina that EJ went rogue. Xander couldn’t do that because EJ would charge Sarah with making a false statement.

Fiona lied about trying to get Brady to take a cab home and that she didn’t drink. He apologized for accusing Sarah of lying. Eric was worried about Brady and didn’t want to lose him.
