Recap written by Michele and Cheryl

Sarah saw Brady and Rachel at the pub. She felt awkward because of her near kiss with Xander. Sarah finally went inside the pub and went to Brady’s table. Rachel left to talk to a friend on the phone. Brady noticed Sarah awkwardly standing outside of the pub. Sarah downplayed what he saw and said it was nothing. She said it was a new phase for them. He thought they could work through Rachel being home. Sarah froze while he was talking. She got lucky when Kristen texted Brady to tell him that she wasn’t coming back. Xander met with Marlena for their session. He told her that Titan was about to get bailed out, and he talked about his breakthrough with Sarah. Xander told her about his time with Sarah, but Marlena wasn’t as happy as he was about it. Marlena said that Sarah might not want to be back with him. She reminded him that he still had anger issues. He and Sarah didn’t work through their anger issues yet. Marlena had to end their session because she got an emergency text from Brady. Javi had a nightmare about Leo and Dimitri being in bed together. After that, Dimitri strangled him. Javi jumped up. Gus informed him that he was calling Leo’s name out in his sleep. Javi said he was worried about Leo’s safety. He told Gus that Dimitri was dangerous, and he didn’t know what he would do to Leo and Gwen. Javi wanted to go out there to find Dimitri too. Gus understood that, but he didn’t think Javi should get involved. He reminded Javi that he uprooted his life to be there with him. Gus told Javi that Leo ran off to find Dimitri so it didn’t make sense for him to go after him. He understood that Javi still cared about Leo and wouldn’t forgive himself if something happened to him. Gus didn’t want Javi to resent him if something happened to Leo, and he didn’t let him go. He said he trusted Javi.

Leo realized that Dimitri probably put Gwen in the same place he was held in when he was kidnapped. He looked the place up and tried to figure out a way to get inside. Gwen was with Dimitri. He threatened to keep her captive forever if she didn’t admit that she kidnapped him. Gwen refused to admit that she kidnapped him. He didn’t believe her. Gwen said he would have found proof by now if she were the one who did it. Gwen warned him that he better watch out, and he gave her the same warning. Dimitri thought he could take matters into his own hands. The doorbell ran while Dimitri threatened Gwen. Leo barged in and saw Gwen. He gave her a hug. Dimitri watched them together and smiled. He was happy that he found the place without any trouble. Marlena met with Brady at the pub. He showed her the text from Kristen. They had to break the news to Rachel and knew that EJ had something to do with it. EJ was dangerous so Brady wanted to get Steve involved with what happened.
