He went to the house to call her out for the Horton well at Smith Island. Devlin felt like she interfered with their investigation so they couldn’t figure out what happened to the water on the island. Julie told him that she wanted to make sure that no one died. He questioned her and asked if she noticed any suspicious behavior in the area. She didn’t notice anything. He thanked her for her time. Cat was working when Chad arrived at the DiMera mansion.

Devlin talked to EJ about the coriseal cover up. EJ said he didn’t know anything about it. Devlin said he went to Smith Island and found an excavation that confirmed what he was told. While they were talking, Devlin said he wasn’t interested in the legalities. He said he was cleaning up EJ’s mess before someone else died.

When Sarah tried to comfort him, he pulled away from her. He said he didn’t deserve comfort. Sarah said there was enough blame to go around. She said if she told him what Philip did sooner, Tony wouldn’t have had the leverage to get DiMera back. While they were talking, Sarah said she couldn’t imagine anyone else living in the mansion. Xander said he hadn’t told Brady yet. He thought it would be better coming from her. Sarah left to tell him. Philip texted Gabi to come to the office because he found a way to save Titan. His solution was a poker game. He told her he was good at it and had a game for next week. Gabi didn’t think it was a good idea. Philip said there was a multi-million dollar buy-in to get the top prize. He needed her to give him the money. Gabi said that would be her entire inheritance. Philip tried to convince her that he was a good poker player. EJ sent Rita a message to meet him and Devlin. Before Devlin left, EJ grabbed him from behind. Rita stabbed him with a syringe.
