EJ went to Paulina with a signed statement from Stefan recanting his statement about EJ helping Sloan with the baby switch. He said she didn’t have a reason to fire him. Paulina said Melinda didn’t want the job so she didn’t have a replacement for him. EJ said he will keep the job and wasn’t going to hold her up. She said they both knew the statement was a lie and wondered how he got Stefan to sign it. He said it was the truth and that Stefan tried to ruin him so he threatened to sue him for defamation. She asked what they were going to do when they ran out of things to use against each other. Before EJ left, he said that wouldn’t happen. Stefan went to see Gabi at the hospital. She wondered what he was there. He said he talked to his lawyer and was filing for divorce. Stefan said he was surprised she didn’t file first. Gabi said he vowed to fight for their marriage and wondered what made him rush to file for divorce. He said he didn’t rush. They were both miserable together so there was no point in dragging it out. Gabi felt it was still sudden and wondered why he did it now. Stefan told her that EJ told him he would never be able to get the image of her and EJ out of his head. Gabi said she knew what he meant because she kept seeing him with Ava. He said there was no fixing it so there was nothing left to fight for. She said when the bomb ticked off and she thought she was going to die, she found herself wanting to tell him she loved him one more time. When he came to the hospital that night, she was going to forgive him until he said he was going to have sex with Ava. He said he didn’t sleep with Ava, but she tried to sleep with EJ for a second time except he turned her down. Gabi said she wanted to hurt him the way he hurt her. She said hurting someone you’re supposed to love is something you shouldn’t do. Gabi reminded him about the way he treated her when he came back into her life. Stefan said they found their way back to each other and were happy. She said the only thing keeping her going in prison was him waiting for her and then she found out he cheated on her with Ava. He apologized to her and would give anything to erase what he did.

Stefan told Gabi that he never loved anyone the way he loved her. He said she was his everything. While he was talking, he recited what he told her on their anniversary. He said he was a fool who messed up everything. She agreed that he messed up and said she messed up too. They apologized to each other. Gabi told him the damage was done and there was nothing left for them. She told him to file for divorce so they could get it over with. They said goodbye to each other before Stefan left. When he left Gabi cried. Abby met Chad at the Horton House. Chad told her he wanted to tell the kids the truth. Abby said they couldn’t do that. She said they agreed to wait because it was too soon. Chad said the kids needed her and have gone long enough without her. He said the longer they waited, the bigger the chance of them finding out from someone else. Abby said she didn’t want them to find out from a stranger, but she was just starting to remember things. She asked what was wrong with waiting. Chad said the kids were smart and would figure it out. He said they needed their mother. Chad asked if she wanted her old life back. He thought seeing the kids would bring back memories. Abby said she felt like she disappointed him by not remembering and didn’t want to do the same thing to the kids. Julie showed up with the kids. Thomas asked who Abby was. He wondered why Abby was staring at him and why Chad was being quiet. Abby said she heard a lot about them and was a friend of the family. When Julie took the kids out of the room, Chad asked if seeing the kids triggered anything. Abby said it didn’t. He said he didn’t know what to do, but she had an idea. Ava went to the Bistro to see Stefan’s job offer still stood. Stefan asked if she was going to quit again. She said it depended on whether he was getting back together with Gabi. He said they weren’t getting back together. Ava asked if he was sure of what he was doing. He said part of him would always love Gabi but they couldn’t get past the mistakes they made. Ava said she appreciated the job, but she would take the job at the Brady Pub if it would help him get back together with Gabi. EJ went to see Gabi. He said Rafe told him to stay away from her. EJ asked her how they were going to live with each other. Gabi said it was a big house so they would figure it out. She told him Stefan was filing for divorce. While they were talking, she brought up how EJ taunted Stefan about not getting the image of them sleeping together out of his head. EJ admitted to tell Stefan that. She said he wanted to ruin her marriage. He apologized if he ruined her marriage, but he thought their marriage was over when they had sex. She said he was right and that getting upset with him was better than blaming herself. Gabi said she was the one who came on to him and he was a gentleman who turned her down when she wanted to have sex again. EJ suggested she fight for her marriage if she didn’t want it to end, but she thought it was over.

Rafe told Jada that he was getting released and went to Gabi’s room. He explained that he was getting released, and she was relieved. She couldn’t believe she hired a psychopath as her assistant. Rafe assured her that Connie wouldn’t bother her or Stefan again. Angrily, she stated that she didn’t care what happened to him. EJ approached Stefan at the Bistro and dropped a bomb on him. He informed his brother that he planned to sue him for defamation of character. EJ filled him about what he told Paulina about his involvement in Nicole’s baby’s kidnapping. He let Stefan know that his accusation damaged his reputation, and he wanted to be compensated for it. Unfazed, Stefan reminded him that he told him about his role in covering up Sloan’s crime. The truth was on Stefan’s side. EJ wondered who would care about the truth when it was revealed that he slept with his wife. Abigal thought about what she was doing to Chad by pretending to be his wife. Mark felt bad too but there was no other alternative. Feeling defeated, she had no choice but to agree with him. They rehashed that she had to get Chad to marry her, or their mother would die. Mark didn’t like lying to Aaron and Felicity. Abby was thankful that they could tell Aaron and Felicity the truth about their mother. Julie let Chad know that Charlotte went through his and Abby’s things. Tearfully she told Chad that Charlotte asked to see her mother. Sadly, she had to tell Charlotte that her mother was in heaven even though she was across town. It’s time for the kids to learn the truth. Chad informed her that Abby thought it would be traumatic for them to find out right now since she didn’t remember them. Julie warned him that anyone could tell them about her, and it would be better coming from him. He agreed with her.

EJ threated to go to the paper and reveal a blind item about his night with Stefan’s wife. He believed a jury would see him as a man seeking revenge. EJ was willing to give him a break by dropping the lawsuit if Stefan signed an affidavit swearing that his statements were false. Without any choice, Stefan signed the affidavit. EJ revealed to Stefan that he and Gabi only slept together one time, but she came back a second time. He told him that he refused to be with her out of respect for him, but he didn’t think Stefan would ever forget about the time they were together. Smugly, EJ asked if he was right about that. Rafe wanted to talk to his sister about what happened with her and Stefan. He wondered if she overreacted and could forgive him.

Eric went to Titan to talk to Xander about being in his parents’ house and standing over Brady. Xander said he was there to let Brady know he was going to pay for what he did to Sarah. Eric wondered how Brady got drunk, to which Xander said the same way anyone else does. Xander said Brady was drunk when he got in the apartment and then the police showed up. Eric said he didn’t believe him because he was with Brady and he said he didn’t drink. He said Brady told him about meeting a stranger who scratched his hand with a ring and then he blacked out. Xander asked if Eric was implying that he hired someone with a poisoned ring to drug Brady. Eric accused Xander of hiring someone to do his dirty work. Xander called him delusional, but Eric said he would prove Xander had something to do with what happened to Brady. Eric said Xander planned on killing Brady, but the police showed up before he could do it. Xander demanded that Eric leave his office. When Eric left, Xander was furious. Tate went to see Brady at the police station. Brady apologized that Tate had to see him the way he was the night before, but he didn’t drink. Tate wondered how Brady could say that. Brady said something knocked him out, but it wasn’t alcohol. He said he promised he wouldn’t drink again after what happened to Sarah. Tate said he believed him. Brady said he hated the fact that both of his parents were in prison. Tate told him he would be okay. Brady said he had his grandparents. Changing the subject, Brady asked about Holly. Tate said she was angry and didn’t understand. He said he couldn’t be with anyone who couldn’t understand that he loved his father and would stand by his side. While he was talking, Tate told him he caught Holly looking in Brady’s room for information. He said he suspected that she’s working with EJ and that he put her up to looking for the information. Brady said EJ was using her anger as a weapon. He told Tate not to be too hard on Holly. Brady said he was proud of Tate. When Tate left, Brady was upset with EJ.

Kristen asked EJ about having Brady arrested again when he didn’t have evidence against him. EJ told her that Sarah remembered that Brady was the one who hit her. He said Brady was going to pay for his crimes. Kristen said they both knew she was lying about Brady. She said Marlena couldn’t trigger Sarah’s memories so this total recall after finding out Brady wouldn’t facing charges was convenient. EJ said Sarah was a Horton and a model citizen. Kristen said Sarah lied about her daughter’s paternity twice. EJ said she was doing this because she loved Brady even though he hated her. Kristen said she and Brady were getting closer and that Rachel would be upset about Brady going to prison. She thought he was doing this to hurt Eric, but Brady wasn’t the reason why Nicole left him. EJ said Brady paralyzed Sarah so he had to pay for what he did. Kristen didn’t think so and left the room. Later on, Kristen went to the police station to check on Brady. She insulted EJ for doing this to Brady, but Brady said he deserved it. Kristen said he needed to fight and she would help him. He said nothing else could be done, but she said she had a plan. She said she could make Sarah disappear again. Brady told her not to do anything and let justice prevail. Kristen said she couldn’t do that because she and Rachel needed him. Before she left, she said she would do whatever it takes to save him. Sarah and Fiona went to the park. Fiona wanted to talk to her about lying to the police about Brady. Sarah wanted to know why Fiona assumed she didn’t remember Brady driving the car. Fiona said she heard her telling Xander that she lied to the police and asked why she lied. Sarah said she didn’t have a choice because Xander was going to kill Brady and make it look like a suicide. Fiona said it was her fault and blamed herself for hurting everyone. Sarah said it wasn’t her fault, but Fiona said she was to blame for everything. She asked why Fiona blamed herself. Fiona said she was with Brady when he was drinking and should have seen the signs since she’s a recovering alcoholic. She said she hoped Sarah could forgive her, but Sarah said there was nothing to forgive. Sarah said she hated lying to the police, but Brady would pay for what he did. Fiona was surprised she felt that way since she never said anything about Brady paying before. Sarah said she didn’t want him to pay at first but anyone who drove drunk should pay. She said Brady hit her and left her there. Fiona said she meant everything to her because she wouldn’t have reconciled with Xander or met her grandchild. When they hugged each other, Fiona wanted what they talked about to stay secret. Eric showed up and overheard them. EJ went to see Brady and told him he knew Kristen was there to see him. He said thanks to Sarah’s statement, Kristen couldn’t keep him out of prison. Kristen talked to Stefano’s painting about helping Brady. Rolf showed up out of the blue. Holly and Sophia got in an argument over Tate at the town square. While they were arguing, Holly slapped Sophia. Tate showed up and wondered what Holly was doing. Holly told him Sophia started the argument. Tate said she didn’t have to hit Sophia. When Tate took Sophia’s side, Holly was shocked. Sophia said she started the argument because she felt bad for him and his father. She said when she called Holly out for what she was doing to him, she slapped her. When Holly tried to explain herself, Tate told her she did enough damage. He said his father told him to give her a chance and that EJ was manipulating her, but he was done. Holly asked if he was breaking up with her. When Tate wouldn’t answer her, Holly called him a coward for not being able to say anything. Holly said they were done and that he and Sophia deserved each other.

Recap written by Michele and Cheryl

With tears in her eyes, Holly let Tate know that he and Sophia could have each other. She stormed away from the confused duo. Pretending to be sympathetic, Sophia let Tate know that he was better off without her. It was hard for him to believe they were over after what they went through. Sophia didn’t hesitate to remind him about the bad things they went through together. She slyly put her arm through his as they walked together. While Xander sat at his desk at Titan, he held a gun in his hands. He was tempted to take matters into his own hands. Maggie walked in the office and wondered why he had a gun. Xander lied and said it was for safety now that he’s Victor’s son. Maggie seemed satisfied with that answer and moved on from it. The reason she was there was to get him to drop his vendetta against Brady. She heard about what he did with the baseball bat and thought it was time for him to let go of his anger. His place was by his wife’s side. In the interrogation room, Marlena explained to Brady that she and John were worried about him. Brady didn’t like that he’s making his father worry about him. She assured him that they love him and would be there for him. He didn’t go into detail, but he let her know that Kristen was prepared to do anything to help him. Brady told Kristen not to do anything right now. Marlena hoped she listened because she tended to make things worse. Rolf questioned what happened to the tunnels. He’s a fugitive so Kristen wondered why he was there. The scientist reminded her that she wanted him to do something that would cement her place at DiMera. He had a breakthrough that would make her and the company very wealthy. She wanted to put a pin in that and focus on Brady until he’s free. Eric found Holly crying on a bench. She wasn’t ready to deal with him right now. He let her know that he loved her and wanted to be there for her. Holly didn’t think he and Nicole cared about her feelings because her mother wasn’t there to see her. Shocked by her comment, Eric reminded her that Jude was sick so her mother had to take care of him. He suggested that Holly visit her mother. She became enraged by the suggestion. Eric urged her to see her to give her mother another chance to explain what happened to Daniel. Tate couldn’t believe Holly hit Sophia. Sophia thought about her conversation with Holly and how it ended in a slap. She confessed that Holly slapped her because she told her that she had feelings for Tate. He looked away as she reminded him about flirting with him. She didn’t want to go after him because she chose self-respect. It was better to be honest and not lie the way Holly did.

Xander informed Maggie that he’s been there for Sarah. Maggie wanted him to be there for him emotionally. His focus has been on Brady. Xander admitted that he didn’t know how to be there for Sarah. He hears her cry when she thinks he’s not around. Xander told her about how helpless he feels towards Sarah. He couldn’t help her walk again, but he could get justice for her. With Brady in jail, Xander could put his support behind Sarah. He let her know that he’s been trying to find specialist, but he’s running out of hope. Marlena questioned Kristen’s feelings for Brady and wondered if he had feelings for her. His feelings are like an addiction. Walking away wasn’t possible because of Rachel. It didn’t matter how he felt since he’s going to prison. Marlena didn’t think it was a guarantee that he’s going to prison, but Brady felt he needed to take responsibility for his actions. She wanted him to make peace with what he did. Brady wanted John to accept his fate, but he couldn’t do it. Rolf explained to Kristen that he created a serum that could regenerate a failed organ or regrow dying tissue. The serum would reverse any damage done to the body. Kristen wanted to know if it could work for spinal injuries. Rolf thought it was possible for it to work for spinal injuries. Knowing Kristen, he thought she had an ulterior moment. She warned him to leave it alone if he wanted his lab, funding and glory. Eric explained to Holly that Nicole needed and missed her. He let her know that she didn’t have to stay long. As she wiped her tears, she agreed to go to Paris to visit her mother. She didn’t have a reason to stay in town. Kristen went to Xander’s office. She informed him that she had a way to cure Sarah and explained Rolf’s formula that could help Sarah walk again. Once the formula is ready, it’s up to Xander. She said that he had to let Brady go free.
