Johnny wanted to know if he was offered the job just to get back at his father. If that was the reason, Johnny was interested. Xander said he wouldn’t tell him what the job would be, but Johnny said he would think it over. Abe talked to Chanel about him and Lexie raising Zack for two years before they had to give him back to Bo and Hope. He said it hurt, but they went on to have their own son. Chanel said she didn’t think she and Johnny would ever have a miracle baby or heal their hearts. She said Johnny hurt her and didn’t think she could get past it. Chanel noticed Johnny’s behavior changing around the time EJ was shot. Abe asked if she thought Johnny shot EJ. Chanel didn’t know what to do about it. Abe suggested that she talk to Johnny. Chanel thanked him and left.

While they were talking, Kayla told Sarah about EJ’s offer. She told Sarah that she refused the offer. Sarah was surprised she turned down the offer. She thought it was a good offer despite EJ being involved, but said it was Kayla’s call. EJ ran into Marlena at the nurse’s station. He said it was hard doing good when people were still skeptical of him. Marlena reminded him that he hurt people, so it was understandable that people were skeptical of him. She suggested that he give people a chance. Marlena said Belle thought he could change so she was willing to do it too. Despite being willing to think he could change, Marlena said she wasn’t happy about them being together. She reminded him of what he did to Sami and said she only talked to Johnny on his behalf for Johnny’s sake. EJ thought about Johnny pointing a gun at him. He walked away from Marlena. When EJ went home, he found Dr. Russell there. He told Dr. Russell that Kayla wasn’t changing her mind about the offer. EJ said they may not win the battle, but they would win the war. Before Dr. Russell left, Xander called him and said he had an offer for him. When Xander got off the phone, Sarah met with him. She told him about their vacation being set and that EJ was trying to buy the hospital. When Sarah left to take care of things, Xander called Alex and told him to make the move with the hospital.
