Recap written by Michele and Cheryl

Stephanie woke up after having a steamy dream about Alex to Philip making her breakfast. She was impressed with his cooking skills. They talked about him being back at Titan. He was thankful that she had faith in him. Alex and Joy woke up in bed together. She was glad that he wasn’t married. Joy wondered if she was coming between him and Stephanie. He assured her that nothing was going on between them. Alex informed her that Stephanie was with his cousin. They made love again. Joy read her lines and realized that she was working with Chanel. She wasn’t going to be happy working with her. Alex thought she was in a no-win situation. Johnny arrived at the Body & Soul  set and was shocked to see Abe there. He informed Abe that Chanel was gone. Johnny told him that he cheated with Joy. Abe was upset, but Johnny assured him that it happened before she joined the show. Her being on the show was a coincidence. Johnny thought it was the right thing to admit to everything. He thought everything was over including his marriage. Abe thought there was a chance to save it. Johnny didn’t believe that because he screwed everything up. Abe mentioned that he slept with Joy, but he corrected him. He thought Johnny had the sense not to go through with it. Johnny felt he betrayed Chanel when he walked into Joy’s room. Chanel probably didn’t love him anymore. Abe told him that Chanel needed time to get over everything that happened. He had to work at making things right. Johnny was willing to do whatever he had to do to make things right. He thanked Abe for talking to him. Abe assured him that he didn’t hate him, but Paulina might be harder to win over.

Chanel went to Paulina and told her what happened with Johnny and Joy. Paulina was upset that Johnny was with Joy. Chanel told her that Johnny didn’t have sex with Joy. Paulina wondered why she was upset. Her daughter informed her that Johnny fooled around with another woman. Gabi and JJ woke up in bed together. They agreed that they were happy he spent the night. Gabi and JJ heard a crash and went downstairs. Javi was in the kitchen so Gabi introduced them to each other. Gabi and Javi talked about what they did for New Year’s. Javi said he went out alone. Gabi thought he was thinking about getting back together with Leo. After Javi left, JJ and Gabi flirted with each other. They decided to spend the day together. Philip had to go to the office even though he wanted to spend the day with Stephanie. They kissed each other just as Alex appeared at the doorway. Philip assured Alex that he and Stephanie enjoyed their holiday. Alex and Stephanie wished each other a Happy New Year. Abe wanted to talk to Paulina about what JJ told him. Paulina told him Chanel’s side of the story. She didn’t think Chanel would forgive Johnny any time soon. Johnny sat and looked at his ring. He was about to call Chanel. Chanel was at the town square when her phone rang. She answered the phone and told Johnny that she didn’t want to talk to him. Chanel spotted Joy sitting on a bench. She approached Joy to confront her about what happened with Johnny.

Recap written by Michele and Cheryl

Everyone was gathered at the DiMeras for their New Year’s party. JJ told Gabi that he planned on telling EJ off. He was also glad to celebrate the new year with her. Philip gave Belle a drink and asked how she was doing. It was hard for her to avoid thinking about Shawn. She admitted that she was single for the first time in years. Alex asked Stephanie what happened to her date since it was almost 12. She looked over and saw Philip with Belle. They didn’t know where Joy was either. It was time for the countdown to start. Jada kissed “Rafe,” and EJ got disgusted by what he saw. He walked away and threw back a drink. EJ was upset until Belle came over to him. He offered to kiss her. She was okay with it as long as it was on the cheek. EJ interrupted Jada and Arnold. He wanted Arnold to help with the food leaving Jada confused. Johnny demanded to know why Joy was at the mansion. They started arguing about the stress they were under. If Chanel found out what happened between them, he was shocked when Chanel walked in the room. Chanel demanded to know what he was going to say. Johnny tried to avoid the question, but he saw how angry she looked. Joy made up a story, but Chanel was tired of buying her lies. Johnny asked Joy to leave so they could talk to Chanel alone. He told her that he went to Joy’s room, and they drank. They were half naked and started making out. Johnny assured her that’s all they did. Chanel believed him, but she slapped his face. Even though he didn’t have sex with Joy, he still cheated. He agreed with her but promised that nothing more happened between them. Chanel couldn’t believe she was working with someone he almost slept with. Johnny apologized to her. Chanel put everything together and realized that Alex covered for him and Joy was involved. Johnny explained what happened, and Chanel yelled at him for throwing Alex under the bus and lying for months. He was afraid he would lose her if she knew the truth. Johnny would do anything to make it up to her. He wondered if he could make it up to her. Chanel told him that he couldn’t fix it.

Joy rushed downstairs and grabbed a drink. Alex was shocked to see her drinking so much. Philip asked her about Chloe, and she snapped at him. Alex wanted to know what happened, but she asked him to take her home. JJ and Gabi mingled with Philip. She made a comment about him worming his way back into Titan. JJ suggested they leave. Belle and Jada toasted to her taking over as the new DA. She said that she didn’t get a chance to tell EJ yet. He was going to go ballistic. EJ yelled at Arnold for kissing Jada. Arnold assured him that he wouldn’t go any further than that. He refused to sleep with Jada because he didn’t get consent. Arnold wouldn’t do what he did to Sami again. EJ threatened Arnold just as Gabi and JJ walked by them. Gabi demanded answers and Arnold assured her that everything was okay. Belle and Jada were ready to leave. Jada let “Rafe” know she was ready to go, but EJ said she couldn’t go home with him. She wanted to know why she couldn’t go home with “Rafe.” EJ told her that Rafe got a big case from Black Patch, and he had to leave that night. Arnold played along and said he would be back before the wedding. Jada wanted him to be careful. They were about to kiss when EJ started coughing. Arnold decided to hug her instead.
