Marie Horton returns to Salem, joining Julie at home as they talk about how great it is to be celebrating Tom Horton with the free clinic and gala. Tate and Holly come over, so Julie introduces Marie to them. Marie says she hears they want to hear about the Horton family. Holly confirms that they do. Julie tells them that they have 60 years of stories to share.

Jeremy and his father Mike Horton sit together at the Brady Pub. Mike asks if Jeremy is glad to be back in Salem. Jeremy calls it a work in progress, saying the kids have been great but it’s the grown-ups he’s worried about as a lot of them don’t think he belongs in Salem.

Chad and Jennifer sit at the hospital after Thomas was hit by a car. Kayla walks by so they ask if Thomas is okay.

Tate sets up the video camera to record Marie and Julie. Marie asks what kind of stories they want to hear. Holly suggests starting with the connection between the Hortons and the hospital. Julie says that goes back generations. Holly asks which Horton was the first to work at the hospital. Marie says that would be her grandfather William and then Tom followed in his footsteps. They recall Tom becoming chief of staff in 1978. Marie says she and her brother Bill also worked there as well as the man who turned out to be her other brother Tommy Jr. Tate asks about that story. Marie says her parents loved the hospital but their first priority was always their children as they flash back to Tom and Alice. Marie comments on there being so many memories and sometimes it feels like a lifetime ago but also feels like just yesterday.

Jeremy tells Mike that a lot of people in Salem remember how he behaved last time he was there and some of them are finding it hard to trust him, like Stephanie. Mike says Jeremy made a mess of things but he knows how hard he worked to turn that around. Jeremy wonders if it was a mistake to come back. Mike argues that Salem is his home and he has so much family here, adding that he knew it wasn’t going to be easy. Jeremy guesses it’s just harder than expected. Mike encourages him on being a teacher which Jeremy admits has been really rewarding. Mike remarks that in his experience, the people of Salem eventually find grace and insists he can find a good life in Salem. Mike tells Jeremy that everyone in town will realize what a good man he’s become and a man he’s proud to call his son. Jeremy thanks him for believing in him.

Kayla informs Chad and Jennifer that Thomas has a mild concussion and a dislocated shoulder but he will be fine which relieves them. Chad asks if he can go see him. Jennifer stops Chad and asks if he’s sure Thomas wants to see him considering this is all his fault.

Tate questions Marie not knowing that Tommy Jr. was her brother. Julie explains that the family had been told that Tommy had been killed in war, but he was wounded, had to go through facial reconstruction surgery, and had no idea who he was. Marie says they knew him as Dr. Mark Brooks and she became his research assistant at the hospital which she flashes back to. Marie reveals that she fell for him, having no idea he was her brother, but Mickey and Tom found out before anything could happen. Julie calls it an overwhelming turn of events for the whole family. Marie adds that it was an answer to Alice’s prayers. Marie calls Tom an amazing father and says there was so much love in the family. Marie says she had a hard time getting over things, so she left town and became a nun which is a different story.

Mike asks Jeremy if there’s anything he can do to help. Jeremy says it’s something he has to handle himself, but if he needs something, he’ll be the first to know. Mike suggests going back to the house to be with family.

Chad questions how he’s to blame for what happened to Thomas when he happened to run in to Cat, who shared some bad news about her mother which Jennifer mocks. Chad blames Jennifer for blowing up in the first place and getting Thomas all worked up about Cat. Jennifer argues that she had nothing to do with his reaction. Chad accuses her of turning Thomas against him while Jennifer says he’s done a fine job of that on his own. Kayla interrupts and argues that they are family and all that matters is that Thomas feels safe. Chad agrees and declares he’s going to see his son as he walks off.

Mike and Jeremy go to the Horton house where Tate fills them in on how they are filming a mini-documentary on the Hortons and their history with the hospital. Mike begins talking about having to step in to Tom’s shoes as chief of staff at the hospital. Julie talks about Mike and Jennifer’s parents Bill and Laura both being doctors at the hospital as well. Marie adds that Laura even mentored Marlena which surprises Tate to learn. Holly then asks them to tell them about Bill and Laura since they sound like Salem’s power couple. Marie says they certainly made their mark on the hospital and their family.

Jennifer tells Kayla that she hates getting so upset with Chad as he really has been a wonderful father to his kids since losing Abigail and he’s suffered so much as they all have. Jennifer argues that Chad is different and his priorities have changed as he says one thing and does another which she blames on Cat. Jennifer complains that Chad promised to stay away from Cat after what she put their family through, but every time she turns around, they are together. Jennifer goes over how Cat showed up at the Spectator, Thomas saw her on Halloween, and that Cat and Chad were just in each others’ arms in the town square. Jennifer complains that is why Thomas got so upset and ran in front of a moving car. Jennifer cries that she can’t even think about what could’ve happened to him and she will not let it go. Jennifer declares that she has to do something about it.

Chad visits Thomas in his hospital room and tells him how happy he is to see him and that he’s not hurt that badly. Thomas remains silent. Chad apologizes but Thomas tries to turn away from him and says that he broke his promise so he’s done.

Tate says they won’t take up any more of their time. Julie says they really do have 60 years of stories to tell. Holly says maybe they’ll set up for round two and adds that this was amazing. Tate thanks them and promises to show them the video. Julie thanks them and says it was like their own time capsule. Jeremy hopes they get an A on the project. Mike walks Tate and Holly out. Jeremy then questions the looks on Julie and Marie when Tate asked about Bill and Laura, feeling there was something they didn’t want to tell them. They get interrupted as Julie gets a call from Jennifer, informing her about Thomas.

Chad gets that Thomas is mad at him but asks for a chance to explain. Kayla comes in and tells Thomas that they have to fix his shoulder. Chad tells Thomas that he’ll be with him the whole time but Thomas shouts that he wants Jennifer instead. Chad argues that he’s his father. Kayla takes Chad aside and reminds him to focus on what’s best for Thomas.

Julie informs Marie, Mike, and Jeremy about what happened to Thomas and says he’s going to be okay. Mike decides he will go to the hospital to check on Thomas and keep Jennifer company. Jeremy suggests he will have the kids at school write Thomas get well notes. Jeremy then goes back to asking if there’s something about Bill and Laura that he doesn’t know. Julie confirms there is and it’s not a good story that concerns his father, so she asks if he’s sure he wants to hear it.

Mike joins Jennifer at the hospital. Jennifer says it’s so good to see him and she’s doing better now that Thomas is going to be okay. Jennifer goes in to see Thomas as Chad comes out. Mike then asks Chad what that was all about.

Marie tells Jeremy that this all happened in the late 60s and was a pretty dark chapter for their family. Marie explains that Bill had been out of town and came back to find out that Laura had married his brother Mickey, so Bill got drunk and forced himself on Laura which shocks Jeremy. Julie reveals that Laura got pregnant and that’s when Tom realized the truth because he knew Mickey couldn’t father a child. Jeremy asks if they kept it a secret from Mickey. Julie confirms that the truth did not come out for years and that it almost tore the family apart. Julie adds that Mickey lost his mind and ended up shooting Bill. Jeremy can’t believe it and asks how a family survives all of that.

Chad tells Mike that he and Jennifer have been having some disagreements which Mike says he’s sorry to hear. Chad guesses Jennifer has told Mike how disappointed she is in him and how she blames him for what happened to Thomas. Chad remarks that maybe she’s not wrong.

Tate and Holly go to the Pub. Tate mentions that they have a few minutes before their next interview and offers to get them coffee. Holly comments that at least the first interview went good but she was not expecting all of that. Tate agrees as he expected puff pieces about heroic doctors and family togetherness but what they got was not that. Tate says he always viewed the Hortons a like a perfect family. Holly says it’s a reminder that Julie and Marie were young like them once and brought the drama too. Tate declares they are done with the drama as he feels like he’s learned from his mistakes and is dedicating himself to making it up to her as they kiss.

Chad asks Mike if Jennifer has voiced her concerns to him about he and Cat. Mike confirms that she has. Mike states that he loves Jennifer but he loved Abigail very much just like he loves her children, so he’s going to give Chad the benefit of the doubt and trust that he will make the right decisions for them. Kayla comes over and hugs Mike, saying she didn’t know he’d be there. Chad asks how it went with Thomas. Kayla responds that he is very brave and they got his shoulder back in place. Kayla thinks if Chad fills out the paperwork, Thomas will be ready to go soon. Kayla says he’ll be in a sling and suggests having him rest and icing it if needed. Kayla tells Mike that it’s great that he could be there for the dedication of the free clinic. Kayla asks how it feels to be back in Salem. Mike responds that it’s always nice to be home and mentions Jeremy picking him up from the airport. Kayla asks how he is. Mike knows the last time Jeremy was in town, he didn’t treat Stephanie how she deserves to be treated and he’s very sorry about that. Mike knows Kayla has every reason to be skeptical, but assures that Jeremy has been working very hard to turn his life around. Kayla says she’s heard that, so time will tell.

Jeremy can’t believe he never knew as no one ever sat him down and told him the story, but guesses that’s why Mike always said he thought of Mickey as a second father. Marie and Julie talk about everyone eventually reconciled, Bill and Laura got married and had a second child in Jennifer while Mickey found happiness with Maggie. Julie says that Mickey and Maggie were soulmates which Jeremy says is just like Tom and Alice as well as Julie and Doug. Julie states that even the best families have secrets and it’s about not letting the past define you.

Jennifer returns to Chad and tells him that the nurse is getting Thomas ready to go and she wanted to talk to him for a second. Chad tells her to go ahead. Jennifer says in the years since Abigail’s death, she’s never doubted that Thomas and Charlotte should be anywhere but with Chad, but that is no longer the case. Chad asks what she is saying. Jennifer argues that Chad has been negligent and has not put his children first which is why Thomas got hurt today and could’ve been killed. Jennifer says he’s going to be okay this time, but she cannot trust Chad with her grandchildren anymore. Chad asks if she’s going to try and take away his kids. Jennifer brings up that Thomas told her that he wants to come live with her and Jack and she now supports that. Jennifer declares that she is taking Thomas and Charlotte to Boston and that Chad will not fight her on it or she will sue him for custody.

Update written by Joseph

Cat is at home, working on her laptop when her brother Mark comes home. Cat tells him that she forwarded him his paperwork from EJ, but she’s not sure why he didn’t include his job title. Mark responds that his current job description is in flux.

Leo sits alone at the Brady Pub looking sad. Chad approaches and hugs him. Chad says he heard about Tesoro and asks if he’s doing okay. Leo claims that he is but then starts to cry as he admits he’s not really. Leo says he knows Johnny and Chanel will be such great parents, but he’d normally be taking Tesoro to the park, then taking him home, singing to him and putting him down for his nap. Chad says his heart goes out to Leo and Javi. Leo thanks him and says he knew this day was inevitable but he doesn’t think anything prepares you for having to say goodbye to your kid. Leo cries that he’s sorry as he brings up that Chad had to say goodbye to his wife forever while Tesoro is alive and well and he will still see him. Leo apologizes for being really insensitive but Chad says there’s nothing to forgive and he understands he’s going through it. Leo calls that very kind of him. Leo suggests changing to a brighter subject. Leo tells Chad that his kids are the most adorable children on the planet. Leo comments on how much Thomas adores Chad and how close they are.

Gwen questions if EJ really had nothing to do with Tony’s disappearance. EJ questions why the hell she would ask him that. Gwen points out that they did such a bang up job of making Dimitri disappear that she wouldn’t be surprised if he did the same in making his own brother disappear. EJ reminds her that was her idea, not his, because she wanted revenge for Dimitri betraying her. Gwen admits that she was seeking vengeance, but argues that EJ was happy to go along with the plan and eager to take part in the spoils. EJ admits there was no love lost between he and Dimitri after he gave him every chance to prove himself to be loyal to the family, only to prove himself to be a con artist. EJ adds that things are different with Tony as he is his brother, dearest friend, and confidant. EJ states that he would never dream of hurting him and predicts he will show up at the next ship. EJ then tells Gwen that they have a lot of work to do before the gala and asks if she’s given any thought to their Leo Stark dilemma, Gwen confirms that she reached out to him and he agreed to meet. EJ calls that brilliant and reminds Gwen of the importance that she put aside all grievances to regain Leo’s trust. EJ declares that they need to stop Leo from uncovering what they are really up to at the clinic, one way or another.

Jennifer brings Thomas to the Brady Pub and tells him how proud she is of him for his grades and suggests they celebrate with dessert, but she notices that Thomas is still upset about being grounded over what happened on Halloween. Jennifer tells Thomas that it’s okay to be upset with Chad for spending time with Cat after everything she put their family through, but it’s never okay to try and hurt someone, even if someone you can’t stand the sight of, as Gwen walks by.

Cat questions Mark’s job description being in flux. Mark explains that he can’t practice medicine with his medical license suspended, so EJ created a research job for him. Cat questions EJ hiring him directly and what he will be researching. Mark responds that he has no idea. Cat asks if EJ didn’t tell him anything. Mark says EJ obviously has a lot on his mind and he needs the job. Cat advises him to be careful. Mark questions what she’s so worried about, pointing out that she works for EJ too and asks if she trusts him.

EJ finishes a call about the gala as Abe arrives at the DiMera Mansion. Abe declares that he’s there to talk about his son.

Thomas greets Gwen and tells her that Jennifer is taking him for dessert because of his good grades. Gwen says Thomas was always exceptionally bright and asks if Jack will be joining them. Thomas says he had to go back to Boston. Thomas invites Gwen to join them but Gwen says she has to catch up with an old friend, so she’ll see him around. Gwen then heads in to the Pub.

Cat assures Mark that she trusts EJ and says she wouldn’t work for someone she didn’t trust. Mark questions what the issue is then. Cat says she doesn’t want Mark to get in to any trouble. Cat acknowledges that EJ has been good to them, but asks Mark to run it by her if EJ asks him to do anything out of the ordinary. Mark feels Cat talks about EJ like he’s a mob boss. Cat admits she’s heard stories about EJ and that he can be pretty ruthless when he wants to be. Mark asks if she means like Clyde Weston. Mark assures that she has nothing to worry about and brings up how Clyde was holding their mom against her will. Mark insists that he will never do anything like what he almost did to Chad, even if part of him wants to wring Chad’s neck for breaking her heart.

Leo tells Chad that despite his sadness, he’s really happy for Johnny and Chanel because he knows how long they’ve wanted a baby. Chad thinks back to when they first met and how far Leo has come. Leo jokes that the old Leo would be plotting to get the baby back. Chad says he’s glad he’s not that Leo anymore. Gwen then approaches and comments on two of her favorite people being in the same place. They reluctantly greet her which she mocks. Jennifer enters the Pub with Thomas. Chad tells Leo it was a pleasure and gets up from their table to go join Jennifer and Thomas. Gwen then takes the seat with Leo and asks if it was something she said. Leo guesses Jennifer just handed her head on a platter. Gwen responds that Jennifer managed not to for the sake of Thomas which Leo says must have been hard for her. Gwen brings up when Jennifer was addicted to painkillers and hit her with her car, but complains that she ended up the villain in the story. Leo points out that Gwen also tried to destroy Jennifer’s family. Gwen complains that it’s her family too and that she didn’t know second chances were reserved for saints like Jennifer. Leo then asks if he deserves a second chance.

Jennifer tells Chad that Thomas did so great on his report card that she thought he deserved a treat, but he seems not to be in the mood which Chad questions. Jennifer thinks Thomas is still having a hard time with the whole pumpkin incident. Chad tells Thomas that they talked about this and calls him a great kid. Chad says what Thomas and Rachel did was not good, but everyone makes mistakes and the key is to learn from them, not beat themselves up over it. They ask if Thomas is ready for dessert now. He smiles and says that he is.

Abe tells EJ that he just found out that Theo came back to Salem because Tony flew him to run DiMera. EJ responds that he was just as surprised to learn what Tony was doing and now he is unfortunately missing which he calls bad timing. Abe responds that he doesn’t like it and feels that EJ likes it even less.

Chad, Thomas, and Jennifer enjoy strawberry ice cream, a brownie, and cake. Chad excitedly asks Jennifer about the Hortons coming to town. Jennifer informs him that Jeremy has gone to the airport to pick up Marie and then he’s going back to pick up Mike. Jennifer talks about how much it means to Marie. Chad can’t wait to feature Tom in tomorrow’s edition of the Spectator. Chad calls Jennifer such a talented writer and says her article was beautiful as she did her Grandfather proud. Jennifer thanks him and says that Thomas makes her and Jack that proud. Chad gets a text that he has to get to the office, so he’ll see them back at home as he exits the Pub.

Cat tells Mark that Chad is a good man and that he ended things for his family. Cat adds that they should understand sacrifices like that. Cat asks Mark how their mom is doing after he saw her this morning. Mark responds that he’s afraid he has some bad news.

EJ tells Abe that he could never get one over on him and admits that he’s not thrilled with the arrangement of Theo running DiMera Enterprises, remarking that he will have certain forces working against him. Abe asks if EJ is one of those forces. EJ swears that he would never dream of going after Theo and says he’d gladly step in to help guide Theo in Tony’s absence. Abe asks if he’s joking, arguing that’s the last thing he would want. EJ asks what he wants then. Abe wants EJ to help him get Theo away from DiMera before he finds out that they eat their own. EJ questions if Abe is saying he wants them to work together to unseat Theo. Abe responds that Lexie wouldn’t want something like this and neither does he, so he asks EJ to help him save his son from himself.

Leo tells Gwen that their friendship is like the movie Elf with no chance of a sequel. Gwen asks why she asked him to lunch then. Leo says he doesn’t know. Gwen brings up a road trip they took together which they laugh about. Gwen claims that she’s missed this. Leo admits he has too but then stops and questions her sudden change since last week, arguing that it makes no sense. Leo remarks that she hated him with a vengeance five minutes ago and questions what she is up to.

EJ finishes a call as he walks through the town square and runs in to Chad. EJ apologizes to Chad, saying he had no idea that Jennifer would be at the Spectator when he sent Cat to inform him of Tony’s disappearance. Chad accuses EJ of sending Cat instead of telling him, himself, because he was trying to play matchmaker and tells him to knock it off. EJ asks if he’s not allowed to want his brother to be happy with that special someone. Chad says not that someone because he and Cat are through as they have to be.

Jennifer tells Thomas that they will watch E.T. tonight because Thomas has never seen it. Jennifer adds that it’s really nice to see him smiling again since he’s had a really hard time lately because of Chad and Cat. Jennifer declares that Thomas doesn’t have to feel sad anymore because Cat is out of their lives for good. Jennifer knows Thomas wanted to come live with her and Jack in Boston because he was angry at Chad for seeing Cat, but insists that’s all over now and that he and Charlotte belong with Chad. Jennifer assures that they mean more to Chad than anything in the world. At their table nearby, Leo tells Gwen that she’s not fooling him for a second. Gwen then admits she may have called him under false pretenses, so Leo asks what this is about. Gwen claims it’s about Dimitri.

EJ brings Mark to his lab at the hospital free clinic. Mark questions why it’s in the back of the clinic and all the security out front. EJ informs him that the project he’s working on requires the utmost discretion and that no one can know what he’s working on, not even his sister.

Cat walks through the town square, on a call with a doctor, questioning if they are sure it’s that. Cat is upset as she finishes the call. Chad approaches and asks what’s going on.

Leo questions Gwen wanting to rehash how he and Dimitri did her dirty, saying he has no interest. Gwen responds that it’s not about that and asks him to hear her out. Gwen then claims she received a tip about Dimitri being spotted. Leo asks what it has to do with him. Gwen feels Leo could help her track him down. Leo asks what’s in it for him other than reopening old wounds. Gwen argues that it would be his biggest career defining story as a journalist and asks if he doesn’t want to know what Dimitri has been up to all this time. Leo responds that he doesn’t. Leo asks if Gwen’s not worried about what might happen if Dimitri comes back to Salem and stakes his claim on his fortune that she’s been spending. Gwen says she wants to know if he’s on this side of the Atlantic. Leo tells her to hire a private investigator like Steve then. Gwen argues that Steve doesn’t know Dimitri like Leo does. Leo argues that her lead might not even be Dimitri that was spotted. Gwen thinks it’s worth a shot, saying she needs closure and thought Leo did too. Gwen asks if Leo doesn’t want to know if Dimitri isn’t dead somewhere. Leo asks if something made her think Dimitri is in danger. Gwen guesses that Leo still cares about him. Leo insists he doesn’t as he has moved on with Javi and doesn’t want to talk about Dimitri anymore. Leo says he has more serious and important things to concern himself with today. Gwen then apologizes for not bringing up sooner that they had to give the baby away. Leo confirms today is the official day that Tesoro was adopted. Leo brings up having a picture but says it’s still too soon and gets emotional. Leo cries that he will still be in their lives, but it’s hard knowing they won’t be taking care of him every day and he’s going to miss it so much. Gwen asks if it’s possible that Leo has actually grown a heart.

Mark asks if EJ can give him something. EJ says he intends to explain and reveals that he’s funding out of his own pocket, research on the new drug Versavix. Mark recalls reading about that. EJ says the possibilities are endless, but so is the red tape, regulations, trials, and FDA approval which is where Mark comes in. EJ tells Mark that he will help them find their way around the red tape. Mark admits the project does sound exciting and will have the potential to help a lot of people. EJ declares they are on the verge of medical history and assures Mark will be glad he came on board. Mark asks when he wants him to get started. EJ says the details will be sorted when his immediate supervisor arrives any minute now.

Cat tells Chad that she’s fine. Chad says just because they aren’t together anymore doesn’t mean he stops caring about her. Cat then informs him that her mom has had a setback, revealing that she didn’t recognize Mark when he went to see her. Cat adds that doctors think everything she went through may have triggered early onset dimentia. Chad says he’s sorry. Cat cries that she thought they were finally getting her mom back after everything, but now it’s like they could lose her forever and she doesn’t know what to do. Chad hugs Cat as Jennifer and Thomas come through, shocked by seeing them together.

Mark asks EJ who his supervisor will be. EJ says it’s a rather eccentric, genius scientist who knows how he likes to conduct business. Mark asks if he knows this person. Dr. Rolf then arrives, so EJ introduces him to Mark. EJ decides he will leave them to get acquainted since they will be spending quite a bit of time together.

Leo states that perhaps taking care of a child helped him heal his own inner child. Gwen says she’s glad and talks about how lucky the baby was to be in their care. Leo admits this has been nice. Gwen says it’s so nice they can be civil, but wants to get back to talking about Dimitri. Gwen tells Leo that if he accepts the assignment, all expenses and flights will be paid for. Leo agrees to think about it. Gwen tells him not to take too long. Leo then exits the Pub. Gwen then calls EJ, who hopes she has good news. Gwen tells EJ that she did as he asked and got Leo’s heart racing as she sent him on a wild goose chase to find Dimitri which they know is a lost cause and a hopeless endeavor.

Thomas declares that he knew it and that Chad lied to him again. Cat says she’s so sorry and runs off. Chad turns to Thomas to try to explain but Thomas doesn’t care and shouts that Chad doesn’t care about him or their family and that he only cares about Cat. Thomas then runs away into oncoming traffic, causing Chad and Jennifer to go racing after him.

Update written by Joseph

Alex goes home and tells Stephanie that he’s decided to work from home today. Stephanie works on her laptop and talks about how much work she has to do before the gala. Stephanie complains about her phone being such a distraction that she had to put it on silent because she was getting so many texts. Alex tells her that she better get used to the attention. Stephanie blows off being Anastasia Sands as not like she’s Superman. Alex thinks she should be proud that so much of Salem are invested in her book. Stephanie continues to complain that she only has a few hours to do a week’s worth of work. Alex then says maybe this will ease her frustration as he presents her with an envelope.

Paulina joins Roman and Abe at the Brady Pub. Paulina asks if they got the photos that she texted. Both say they haven’t checked their texts. Roman asks what it’s photos of. Paulina announces it’s of her and Abe’s grandson and Roman’s great-grandson as she shows them the pictures on her phone.

Gwen enters the living room of the DiMera Mansion where EJ is pouring a drink. Gwen asks if it’s a bit early for that. EJ says it’s never too early to celebrate as he announces he is a newly minted Grandfather since Johnny and Chanel adopted a baby boy. Gwen congratulates EJ and guesses if she’s supposed to ask for the photos but EJ reveals he doesn’t have any. Gwen questions him not taking any photos. EJ clarifies that he hasn’t met his grandson yet and doesn’t think he ever will.

Gabi goes to see Theo in his office. Theo says they still have to finalize the details for Gabi Chic. Theo notes that Gabi is upset and asks if something is wrong.

Javi sits at home, looking at photos of Tesoro on his phone with tears in his eyes.

Alex informs Stephanie that the envelope is her first royalty check for One Stormy Night and comments on how many zeros he saw in it. Stephanie then opens the envelope and is shocked by the amount.

Gabi tells Theo that she’s sorry as her family just gave up custody of their foster child. Theo acknowledges the baby going to his stepsister and cousin. Theo understands she’s upset and say he shouldn’t have called her in. Gabi says it’s okay. Theo asks if she’s sure as they could do this another time. Gabi assures that she wants and needs to keep busy. Theo says he understands, so Gabi asks how long it will take before Gabi Chic is officially free from DiMera. Theo responds that if he had it his way, it would take forever, leaving Gabi confused.

Gwen asks about EJ being deprived of seeing his grandson. EJ responds that he wasn’t expecting otherwise. Gwen is sure that it’s still terribly distressing and knows he’s worked so hard to reconcile with Johnny. EJ says it’s unfortunately been to no avail. Gwen encourages that it will all work out in the end, then brings up that she hears there’s a wave of Hortons coming to Salem and the Bradys and Blacks will descend upon Salem as well which EJ says he’s also bracing himself for, remarking that it will be a large influx of holier than thou, but he thought the more good PR for the hospital, the better. Gwen asks if it’s possible that EJ invited them all because he has an ulterior motive. EJ questions what that would be. Gwen asks if it’s an excuse for EJ to lure Sami back to town.

Stephanie tells Alex that this is the biggest paycheck she’s ever gotten. Alex jokes that she could buy a racecar. Stephanie worries about walking around town like a celebrity. Alex says she is a celebrity now, but admits he’ll wish they had more free time to enjoy. Alex adds that she’ll have to get used to it all over the country which Stephanie questions. Alex then reveals that after the gala, she’s hitting the road because Kate has a massive book tour lined up for her which shocks her.

EJ tells Gwen that is absurd as he’s not trying to lure Sami to Salem and doesn’t give a damn if she shows up or not. Gwen remains skeptical about him not giving a damn since the last time Sami was there for Johnny’s trial, she snubbed him and before that, he was in a coma so it must have been hard to not have any satisfying interaction with her in many moons. EJ wasn’t aware that Gwen was so familiar with his various encounters. Gwen responds that she keeps an ear to the ground. Gwen argues that she would have to live under a rock to not know about his history with Sami and assumed he would have unfinished business. EJ assures her that it is finished. Gwen asks if that’s because Sami can’t forgive him for all the horrible ways he abused and neglected her. EJ remarks that Gwen has a knack for winding him up. Gwen takes that as a compliment. Gwen tells EJ that she really admires Sami’s determination to hold onto past wrongs as she’s heard Sami can hold a grudge even longer than her.

Gabi questions Theo not giving her Gabi Chic. Theo says of course not and asks why he would want to do that. Theo believes Tony made a serious mistake in telling Gabi that she could take her company away from DiMera. Gabi argues that if he hadn’t, she would’ve gone to court. Theo says she would’ve lost. Gabi calls it a moot point since the deal was offered and accepted. Gabi says she didn’t come to rehash old disagreements, so Theo suggests they talk about a new agreement. Theo asks what if he made her a serious offer. Gabi responds that she’s not interested. Gabi says she’s been fighting to regain control of Gabi Chic for years, so now she’s determined that no one else ever have it again. Theo supposes all that’s left is finishing up the paperwork then and says he will have his assistant reach out when it’s ready. Gabi thanks him and goes to leave, but stops. Gabi then asks if Tony knew he was asking her to stay on. Theo responds that Tony is kind of off the grid at the moment.

Abe and Roman look over the pictures of the baby. Paulina informs them that the baby’s name is John III, Trey for short, and his middle name is Paul after her. Roman calls it wonderful news and makes a toast to baby Trey.

Alex asks Stephanie what is wrong since she knew about the book tour. Stephanie says she didn’t know it was all over the country, arguing that she has a company so she can’t just leave her other clients. Alex promises that they will make it work and cater to her. Alex says he’s the head of Titan publishing so he will make sure it works for him too because he doesn’t want to spend a minute longer than he has to away from her as they kiss and hug.

Gabi goes home and questions Javi being home as she thought he was on shift today. Javi says he switched shifts but will be going in later. Gabi questions him just sitting there all alone and says not anymore as she sits with him.

Roman tells Paulina that seeing the new addition of the family makes him miss his babies, so he’s glad that Sami and Eric are coming home for the gala. Abe brings up that they have a family reunion coming up as well as Paulina announces that Eli and Lani are coming back. Roman jokes that it’s always good to have the kids back in the nest, even when they bring their drama with them. Abe then remarks on them not sharing it.

EJ questions Gwen admiring holding a grudge, being bitter and unforgiving. Gwen says it depends on why the grudge is held. Gwen guesses she has said enough. EJ agrees and suggests no longer talking about personal matters that have nothing to do with her which Gwen agrees to. EJ suggests talking about preparations for the gala instead. Gwen says there’s nothing to discuss there as Rita has it all taken care of. EJ asks if they have developed a plan to keep prying eyes away from the clinic while they smuggle in the supplies. Gwen confirms they have a foolproof plan. EJ asks if they have squared away their power supply. Gwen assures they have everything they need, so they shouldn’t have any more complications.

Theo makes a phone call about the meeting Tony had that caused him to miss his cruise ship and he hoped to deliver a message to Tony, but is surprised by what he’s told.

Alex tells Stephanie that he will work quietly in the corner by himself as to not distract her, even if he gets messages from Titan about glowing reviews for her novel. Stephanie says she wouldn’t want that to go to her head. Stephanie says if she’s going to get more work done, she will need more coffee which Alex says is coming right up. Stephanie adds that she did bring home some pastries from Chanel’s bakery after her book launch. Stephanie tells Alex that last night was practically perfect.

Gabi is sorry that Javi has been dealing with his by himself today. Javi says it’s not like they didn’t know the day would come where they would part ways with Tesoro. Gabi acknowledges that he and Leo were essentially his fathers and she knows that letting him go has to bring back losing his daughter. Javi confirms that it does but on a positive note, Johnny and Chanel will give him a wonderful new family so he’s really happy for him. Gabi says she is too but that doesn’t mean their hearts aren’t broken by not having him around all the time. Javi admits he will miss him crying in the morning and night, feeding him, bathing him, and singing to him. Gabi agrees that it was great having him and a blessing. Gabi says it’s great that Johnny and Chanel named Javi and Leo as his Godfathers. Gabi calls the baby lucky that Javi and Leo will be in his life forever. Javi feels they are the lucky ones.

Abe mentions having to get to another tutoring session with Liam. Paulina hopes it goes well and says Liam is lucky to have a wonderful tutor. Roman tells Abe that he will see him later as Abe then exits the Pub. Paulina guesses Roman can see that Abe is a little upset with her. Roman admits that was pretty obvious. Paulina explains that it’s all because Theo told her a few things that he didn’t tell Abe. Paulina calls it a slippery slope to keep her stepson’s confidence and then confiding in her husband. Roman knows she wants to support Theo, but he understands why Abe is upset. Roman warns that Paulina doesn’t know the DiMeras the way they do. Paulina responds that she is well-versed in the DiMeras. Roman argues that reading police reports is a far cry from living through it. Paulina feels that Theo is sensible enough to find his way out if he gets in over his head. Roman calls her quite the optimist. Paulina says it’s in her nature. Roman says he’s more of a realist and agrees that Theo is capable of getting himself out of trouble, but worries that by then, it could be too late.

Gwen asks EJ to pour her a drink. Theo then arrives and greets them, announcing that he has news about Tony. Theo says Anna reported that Tony didn’t make it to the boat because he was at a meeting and would board the next boat, but it turns out the meeting did not go over so Tony would’ve had plenty of time to make it back to the ship. EJ wonders where the hell Tony is then.

Stephanie tells Alex that last night would’ve been perfect except for the part where Alex got knocked out by a pumpkin. Alex says he could’ve done without that but it shows the lengths that son of a bitch would go to undermine him. Stephanie points out Thomas launched the pumpkin while Alex argues that Thomas wouldn’t have been able to if it wasn’t for Jeremy. Alex adds that creating space between Stephanie and Jeremy is another reason he’s glad she’s going on the book tour. Stephanie guesses that is one silver lining.

Javi thanks Gabi and says he’s so glad she’s there, but questions what she’s doing home in the middle of the day. Gabi responds that he’s not the only one with an unpredictable schedule. Javi assumes she must be so busy with having Gabi Chic back and he’s so proud of her tearing Gabi Chic away from the DiMeras. Javi points out that Gabi never told him how she pulled it off. Javi questions why she isn’t saying anything. Gabi responds that there’s something she’s been dying to tell someone, so if she tells him, it has to stay under the code of silence which Javi agrees to. Gabi then reveals that she thought she was going to be the next DiMera CEO which shocks Javi. Gabi says instead, she wound up with Gabi Chic as her consolation prize. Javi questions what happened. Gabi explains that Tony said he needed her help to get control of DiMera back from the Kiriakis family and in exchange, he promised her the top spot. Javi guesses that Tony managed to slither his way out of keeping his promise. Gabi confirms that he totally betrayed her trust. Javi says Tony screwed her over, but maybe it was for the best because now she doesn’t have to work at DiMera anymore. Javi questions Gabi going silent again and asks her to talk to him. Gabi says maybe she shouldn’t say any more but Javi tells her not to leave him hanging. Gabi then reveals that she and Philip have started seeing each other.

EJ questions why Tony would miss his ship if the meeting ended in time and wonders if Anna misunderstood the original message or if Tony somehow got detained before reaching the pier. EJ is sure Tony will be there when the ship comes by in a few days, but agrees to contact the authorities about the latest. Theo thanks him. EJ is glad Theo came by and reminds him that with Tony gone, he’s there if Theo needs any help at DiMera. Theo thanks him but says he has it under control. Theo moves a chess piece and tells EJ it’s his move and then exits, leaving EJ impressed.

Alex wonders about getting pumpkin out of his clothes which Stephanie calls a distraction. Alex then finds a slit in the back of his jacket which they wonder how that got there.

Gabi talks to Javi about her relationship with Philip, but worries that if the truth ever came out about her helping DiMera, Philip would dump her. Javi asks who else knows. Gabi says just Tony, so she has to hope he keeps quiet which she’s nervous about. Javi understands since they have no incentive to stay quiet. Javi points out that she wouldn’t have to worry if she just tells Philip the truth. Gabi refuses and calls that a horrible idea, declaring that no one can ever find out what she did.

Theo runs in to Abe in the town square. Abe says he’s supposed to be at his tutoring session but Liam stood him up, so he went out and bought a gift for Johnny and Chanel’s son Trey. Abe questions Theo not being at the office. Theo says he needed to talk to EJ because Tony is missing which Abe questions. Theo explains that Anna and Tony were on a cruise and Tony got off the ship and apparently never got back on, so they are hoping he gets back on the next one. Theo adds that EJ offered to help out which Abe calls a terrible idea. Theo agrees and says that’s why he turned him down. Theo says he’s sorry but he has to get back to work and walks off.

Gwen notes that EJ doesn’t seem terribly concerned about Tony’s disappearance. EJ says that Tony has a habit of going off the grid and jokes that he would do the same if he was married to Anna. Gwen mentions hearing that Tony is a control freak, so she’s surprised he didn’t give Theo more of a guiding hand. EJ suggests Tony has more faith in Theo than she does. Gwen says perhaps more than EJ does and comments on EJ being so supportive with no ulterior motive. EJ says Tony gave him the opportunity and he turned him down, so he’s hardly interested in being in control at DiMera. EJ reminds her that he is very busy with the hospital. Gwen asks if EJ is sure he had nothing to do with Tony’s disappearance. EJ questions why the hell she would ask him that. Gwen points out that they did such a bang up job of making Dimitri disappear that she wouldn’t be surprised if he did the same in making his own brother disappear.

Days of Our Lives Update

 

Update written by Joseph

EJ walks through the town square while on the phone with Rita. EJ tells her that their shipment is confirmed to be arriving and that the gala will provide a distraction for her to get it in without anyone noticing.

Rafe and Gabi pack up Tesoro’s things at home. Rafe says as much as he knew this going to happen at some point, he’s been in denial about it until now. Arianna comes home and hopes Gabi is not going to lecture her about skipping class. Gabi tells her that today, she’s exactly where she needs to be and hugs her.

Paulina is with Marlena, excitedly preparing for Tesoro’s arrival. Paulina declares that their babies are finally having a baby of their own. Marlena responds that they have Paulina to thank for it.

Javi and Leo watch over Tesoro in their room. Javi comments that Tesoro is going to be with his new family and they don’t know how lucky they are.

Johnny and Chanel fill out paperwork with Belle. Johnny thanks Belle for everything and offers to pay her but Belle says getting to be Tesoro’s aunt is more than enough payment for her. Johnny and Chanel excitedly finish signing the papers as Belle congratulates them, announcing they are now the parents of Tesoro. Chanel exclaims to Johnny that they now have a son.

Rafe talks about how much stuff they had for Tesoro. Gabi comments that their home is going to feel so empty without him.

Paulina tells Marlena that all she did was put in a good word with child services while she believes it was the hand of God that guided the baby in to their arms. Paulina talks about when Chanel was a child, she said she wanted to be a mom while playing with her dolls and now her dream is finally coming true.

Johnny and Chanel thank Belle again for expediting the process for them. Belle calls it her pleasure as she hugs them and says she’s so happy for them. Belle tells them to go get their son as EJ then arrives. Johnny questions what he’s doing there.

Rafe says it’s almost time as Leo and Javi come in to the living room with Tesoro. Rafe asks if they are ready to go. Leo talks about them all being overcome with emotion and jokes that they can go on the run with Tesoro. Leo says they know he makes stupid jokes when he gets overwhelmed. Rafe tells him that he’s sorry. Leo knows it’s hard for everybody so there’s no point in pretending otherwise. Gabi tells Leo it’s okay and hugs him, saying she knows it’s especially hard for he and Javi. Javi assures that they will all get through it together. Javi and Leo then exit with Tesoro as Gabi, Arianna, and Rafe follow them out.

EJ says he’s here to speak with Belle and asks what Johnny is doing there. Johnny informs him that Belle was just helping them finalize the adoption of their son. EJ responds that he’s thrilled for them and wonders if his conversation with Amy Choi had anything to do with their success which Chanel questions. EJ explains that she was unpleasant at first and knew she wanted to object, but feels he must have gotten through to her and changed her mind. Chanel asks if he bribed or threatened her. EJ says he did something much more effective, he spoke to her from the heart as one parent with regrets to another. Chanel says they should get going. Johnny thanks Belle again as he and Chanel exit. Belle tells EJ that she’s very busy so she’s sure whatever he came to see her about can wait. EJ says maybe not, as it’s about her father’s request to the hospital, so Belle tells him to have a seat.

In the town square, Leo asks if they have time for one more stroll through the park but Rafe says that’s not a good idea as Johnny and Chanel will be there any minute. Tesoro wakes up crying, so they all begin checking on him and wondering what he needs. Leo talks about how good Javi is with him as Tesoro calms back down. Johnny and Chanel then arrive in the square.

Paulina and Marlena finish decorating for Tesoro’s homecoming. Paulina says she knows how excited Marlena is for Johnny and Chanel, but realizes it must be a hard day for her too as it is her anniversary. Marlena is surprised she remembered. Paulina admits that her sister Tamara did as she’s always asking about her. Paulina asks how she’s holding up. Marlena responds that the baby coming home is a lovely distraction while other times, she just has to remind herself of how lucky she was to have John for all those years. Marlena knows how thrilled and touched John would be that his grandson and namesake is becoming a father.

Rafe congratulates Johnny and Chanel as he hands over his bag of Tesoro’s things. Chanel tells the Hernandez family that they are so grateful to all of them and that this wouldn’t be happening without them. Chanel credits Rafe helping with child services and his whole family for being the reason they have a happy and healthy baby to bring home. Rafe responds that he is honored to help them become parents, especially Johnny as he always considered him his son. Johnny admits Rafe has been like a father to him for most of his life, so he’s really happy that he can be part of this moment as they hug. Leo adds that as much as they are going to miss Tesoro, they are so relieved that he’s going to such a good family. Javi adds that they are also relieved that they can visit him from time to time. Chanel assures that they can visit any time they want because Tesoro loves them and they are going to be part of his life. Arianna points out that Tesoro is now her cousin, so it’s kind of like they will be one big happy family anyway. Rafe then picks up Tesoro and presents him to Chanel and Johnny as Leo and Javi hold back tears.

EJ tells Belle that he thinks such a generous donation should be publicly acknowledged. Belle calls that very kind of him. EJ asks if she approves then. Belle says she’ll have to speak to her family but doubts that they will have a problem with it. EJ says to just let him know before the gala. Belle stops to ask if he actually spoke to Amy Choi yesterday. EJ confirms that he did and asks if she thought he made it up. Belle says she’s just having a hard time wrapping her head around Amy actually listening to him. EJ supposes they were able to relate because he told Amy that he understood what it’s like to feel like you’ve done everything possible to help your child but still feel like you failed them when they need you the most. EJ says that he simply conveyed to her that she wasn’t alone in that. Belle guesses Amy is really worried about Sophia. EJ calls it terrible to feel powerless to help a child in crisis. EJ assumes Belle declined to press charges against Sophia which Belle confirms. EJ knows initially that he wanted Belle to throw the book at Sophia because she hurt his son and he was hurting for him, but after speaking with Amy, he thinks Belle made the right decision. EJ then exits Belle’s office.

Johnny puts Tesoro down to sleep in his stroller. Javi talks about Tesoro’s moods while Leo presents an instruction book he put together that includes suggestions on what to do when Tesoro is cranky, what makes him laugh, the foods he likes, and medical information. Johnny thanks him and says he thought of everything. Javi cries that they can always give them a call if they have any questions. Chanel thanks them and says this is really helpful as they appreciate all of their support. Johnny states that Leo and Javi gave Tesoro the best possible start in his life and repeats that they are so grateful. Rafe calls it crazy how he can remember when Johnny was Tesoro’s age and now he’s a dad. Johnny calls Rafe the best dad he could’ve asked for. Johnny then reveals that he and Chanel hoped Rafe would want to be the honorary Grandfather to their son. Rafe emotionally responds that he would love nothing more and thanks Johnny as they hug. Chanel adds that if Leo and Javi are willing, they would love for them to be Tesoro’s Godparents.

Marlena says that’s enough about her and tells Paulina that Abe must be loving having Theo home and asks about Theo’s new job at DiMera. Paulina says that Theo seems to be enjoying it, despite Abe’s discouragement. Paulina says she’s tried to tell Abe that she just told Theo to follow his heart. Paulina complains that she knows Theo working for the DiMeras is triggering for Abe, but he’s been treating her like she pushed Theo to the job and like he’s the enemy.

Leo and Javi happily tell Chanel and Johnny that they would be thrilled to be Tesoro’s Godparents. Arianna adds that she’d be happy to babysit. Gabi asks if they have decided on a name. Leo questions it not being Tesoro. Javi explains that Johnny and Chanel are his parents now so they should get to choose. Chanel responds that they are between a couple of ideas and will let them know what they decide. Rafe declares that it’s time to let Johnny and Chanel take their son home. Johnny and Chanel thank them again for everything. Leo and Javi say a tearful goodbye to Tesoro as Chanel and Johnny then leave the town square with him. Rafe knows they are all feeling a bit raw, but it’s not like Tesoro is being shipped off to Siberia as they will get to see him all the time. Leo and Javi agree that does make it easier. Leo wants to go see him already but decides he will let his new parents have him all to themselves. Arianna decides she should get back to school since she already missed a class and has a study group at noon. Gabi invites her to breakfast first which she accepts. Arianna tells Leo and Javi that it was great hanging out with them and that they really need each other, especially now. Gabi says they’ll see them at home as she and Arianna walk away. Rafe states that he knows it’s hard to say goodbye but a wonderful thing happened today.

Belle joins Paulina and Marlena to celebrate, confirming that the papers are signed and notarized which excites Paulina and Marlena. Belle says Johnny and Chanel should be home with the baby soon, so Paulina goes to make more coffee. Belle then informs Marlena that EJ came by and said he wants to announce John’s bequest to the hospital at the gala tomorrow night, but only if it’s okay with everyone. Marlena question what the catch is. Belle says that EJ just said he wanted to acknowledge John’s donation in public. Belle knows EJ usually has an ulterior motive, but she thinks he was being sincere. Marlena says it sounds fine and suggests inviting any of the family which Belle agrees to do. Marlena then remarks that with the exception of EJ, it will be nice to have everyone together again to celebrate their new addition.

Arianna and Gabi go to the Brady Pub for breakfast. Gabi asks if she had fun on Halloween. Arianna tells her that she was with Aaron and they were both a little sad about Tesoro. Arianna says she had just found out about the adoption and admits she sort of fell apart in front of Aaron when he’s the one that had to give up his kid. Gabi says Arianna was the one living with Tesoro for months while Aaron doesn’t even know him. Arianna notes that Aaron said he was still grateful to them for taking care of his son for all these months. Arianna adds that since Johnny is her uncle, Aaron can probably see him anytime he wants. Arianna comments that Aaron is a sweet guy and that he was happy about the adoption. Gabi notes they sound pretty close and asks if there’s something going on there which Arianna laughs off.

Rafe says he is going to head to the Pub while Leo and Javi decide to head home. EJ arrives and tells Leo that he knows he wanted a sit-down interview about the gala, but Leo says he’ll call him later and walks off with Javi which EJ finds odd. EJ tells Rafe that Leo had been pestering him relentlessly for an interview. Rafe informs EJ that they just handed off Tesoro to Johnny and Chanel. EJ says he can imagine how difficult that was. Rafe says EJ should know all about that which EJ questions. Rafe explains that they just handed off a child they love in Tesoro while EJ has had to part ways with his son, but Tesoro didn’t hate them so maybe it’s a bad analogy. EJ states that he and Johnny have had their differences but he doesn’t hate him and he’s certain that Johnny will one day let him back in to his life and allow him to have a relationship with his grandson. Rafe then tells EJ that the role of paternal grandfather has already been filled by him.

Gabi thinks Arianna is protesting too much. Arianna insists that she and Aaron are just friends who are going through a similar thing with baby and that’s bonded them, but in a totally platonic way. Arianna reiterates that they are not a thing and she’s only interesting in getting the disciplinary thing behind her and finishing the year strong. Gabi asks about her internship. Arianna says Kate sent her resume to HR but it’s such a mess at Titan that it might be a few weeks before they get caught up. Gabi invites Arianna to come to Gabi Chic but she declines which Gabi questions. Arianna says that Javi has told her horror stories about working there. Gabi argues that she’s a great boss which Arianna jokes about but admits she’s really glad that she got Gabi Chic away from DiMera and says she’s really proud of her for that. Gabi tells her that she’s always proud of her too.

Belle sends a text to everyone in the family that is out of town about the announcement at the gala and says she will tell Brady when she sees him later. Marlena mentions Will coming to town and says she hopes more of the family could come, especially Sami to meet her new grandchild. Belle says she’s sure Johnny would love that. Paulina tells them that the coffee is made and food is ready as Chanel and Johnny then arrive with Tesoro, exciting them all.

Leo and Javi return home to their room. Javi guesses they should take the crib down. Leo says they don’t have to do it right now. Leo suggests they spend the rest of the day doing some self care. Javi finds a pacifier left in the crib and gets emotional.

EJ tells Rafe that he is not going to sit by and let him be a father to his grandson. Rafe responds that EJ doesn’t have a say in the matter because Johnny and Chanel already made the decision. Rafe then gets a call from Sami and informs her that Johnny and Chanel just took the baby home.

Arianna tells Gabi that she should get going and thanks her for breakfast. Gabi says she really appreciates her being with them today. Arianna talks about Tesoro being such a big part of their lives. Gabi says it wouldn’t have felt right without her there. Gabi brings up Will and Lucas coming to town for the gala, so she asks if Arianna can pull herself from college to attend. Arianna says she definitely will. Gabi states that it will be really good to have their family together as they hug.

Paulina, Marlena, and Belle introduce themselves as the baby’s grandmother, great-grandmother, and aunt as they then realize they don’t know what to call the baby, so Marlena asks if he has a name yet. Chanel reveals they have decided. Johnny then announces that Tesoro will now be known as Trey as in the third for John the third which makes Marlena emotional. Johnny explains that being named after John and trying to live up to that has made him a better person. Marlena assures that John would be so honored. Chanel then adds that the baby’s middle name will be Paul after Paulina. Chanel says that Paulina’s love and support is a big part of the reason why they are parents today, so they are grateful for her helping them get here and make this happen. Paulina excitedly hugs Chanel as Chanel congratulates her on becoming Grandma.

Leo admits to already wanting an excuse to go see Tesoro. Leo knows Javi has been stoic through this but he also knows that saying goodbye has brought back a lot of memories for Javi. Javi knew the emotional risk of bringing him home and he always knew that saying goodbye would be hard. Javi talks about forcing himself not to feel sorry for himself when he has a lot to be grateful for. Javi cries that looking at the crib is bringing back a lot of memories. Leo encourages that this time, he’s here to help him through it. Javi says he will help him through it too as they hug.

Johnny gets a call from Sami. Johnny says they are just getting settled in and he can’t wait for her to meet their baby boy as he’s perfect. Johnny adds that he and Chanel are beyond happy and excited. Sami then informs Johnny that she’s coming to town to meet her grandson. Paulina and Chanel smile at the news while Belle looks potentially worried.
