Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

Devil Marlena brings Jan Spears to a room at the Salem Inn. Jan calls it a Merry Christmas and says she owes it all to The Devil for getting her out of that coma and giving her life again. The Devil says he’s just a giver as long as she does what he wants. Jan says no one would ever guess she wasted 6 months of her life hooked up to machines and no one will ever guess that she’s back since the Devil worked his voodoo. Jan says the joke is on everyone else because now Tripp is chained to those machines, while she is free. The Devil warns Jan that she will only be free if she does exactly as he asked. Jan assures she will do him proud since they want the exact same thing. The Devil declares that they have a lot to do if they want to destroy Shawn and Belle’s marriage on their first and last wedding anniversary.

Belle goes to the police station and wishes Shawn a Happy Anniversary. Belle asks about the safehouse. Shawn says there was no sign of Marlena or the Devil but Ben and Ciara are safe for now with his best guys guarding the place. Shawn asks if Belle came for Brady’s bail hearing. Belle reveals that there’s actually not going to be one because it sounds like Kate and Victor decided to revoke the document certifying Philip’s death, so without that and a body, she thinks she can get the charges dropped. Shawn calls that great but he thought Kate was out for Brady’s blood. Belle says not anymore.

Kate goes to the Brady Pub and tries to head upstairs but Roman stops her. Kate says she doesn’t have time. Roman tells her to make time and take a moment. Roman knows she’s grieving Philip and he respects her need for space but she shouldn’t be spending so much time alone, especially on Christmas Eve. Kate understands but says she really needs to go. Roman questions what’s so important that she needs to race up the stairs to get to. Kate asks why this is turning in to an interrogation. Roman says he’s concerned with her closing herself off not being good for her and says it won’t bring back her son. Kate tells him not to talk about Philip like he’s dead, because he’s alive.

Lucas reveals to Philip that he is the one who kidnapped Sami. Philip calls that crazy. Lucas remarks on that coming from the guy who faked his own death. Lucas argues that he did what Philip said to do; go after what he wants, reclaim the woman he loves, and fight dirty. Philip asks if it’s his fault that he went off the rails. Lucas says it’s not but he took his idea and ran with it. Philip asks why he would do something like that. Lucas responds that he did it because he loves Sami and he loves her so much that there is no way in hell he’s going to let her go back to EJ this time.

Sami questions Johnny just announcing that he got married to a woman that she just met a minute ago. Paulina remarks that she’s totally speechless. EJ guesses that’s why Johnny was so eager to fly off to Italy. Johnny and Chanel say it wasn’t planned but it just happened. Chanel had no idea she would come back a married lady. Johnny says before they knew it, they were pronounced husband and wife. Johnny asks if anyone is going to congratulate them. EJ says he’s sorry but he thinks Johnny made a terrible mistake. Johnny thought EJ liked Chanel. EJ argues that liking her and wanting her as his daughter in law are entirely different. EJ adds that he can’t ignore the fact that Chanel was briefly married to Xander, thinking he was really wealthy. Chanel calls that so unfair. Paulina agrees and says Chanel doesn’t need EJ’s money. EJ reminds Johnny that he controls the purse strings here. Johnny asks if EJ is threatening to cut him off. EJ says not if he gets an annulment.

Lucas reminds Philip how ticked off Sami was when Nicole gave EJ the letter that Kristen wrote and then blamed him for breaking up their marriage. Philip blames himself for that as he thought giving the letter to Nicole would help things but it made things worse. Lucas says it doesn’t matter how EJ got the letter but that Sami blamed him for taking the letter out of the fireplace and not EJ, who treated her like crap for years and kicked her out of the house. Lucas complains that Sami still wants to be married to EJ and calls him an idiot jerk. Philip remembers that conversation and walking Lucas home. Lucas informs him that he didn’t stay home, he went to Gabi’s house because he knew Sami was going to be there to ask Gabi if she could move back in to the DiMera Mansion. Lucas says it was like a punch in the gut to have Sami and EJ living under the same roof so he had to do something to stop it. Lucas flashes back to grabbing Sami with chloroform and dragging her away. Lucas declares that after that, there was no turning back.

Shawn tells Belle that Brady will be able to enjoy Christmas without these charges hanging over his head. Belle calls it great news but Shawn feels she doesn’t seem too thrilled about it. Belle assures that she is but she’s just having trouble getting in to the Christmas spirit while Marlena is possessed by the Devil. Shawn informs her that he has news. Belle guesses it’s not good. Shawn reveals that The Devil morphed in to Steve and attacked Kayla at the hospital. Shawn says that Kayla is fine but the Devil stole her key card. Belle questions what he would want with that. Shawn says he might be using it in whatever plan he has against them. Belle asks what he means. Shawn explains that The Devil doesn’t like that she was in his way and told Kayla that he was going to make them suffer a fate worse than death. Belle questions what The Devil would want in the hospital and then brings up Jan. Shawn says that’s a theory but Steve and Kayla checked and Jan was still in her coma. Belle hopes she stays there forever and asks where the Devil is. Shawn says he’s still at large. Belle worries that they are the next target.

Jan asks The Devil what the plan is. Jan tries to take a drink but The Devil takes it away. Jan complains that it’s been months but The Devil says they can celebrate after the mission is accomplished. Jan says she knows how to do it. Jan brings up having Shawn and Belle renew their wedding vows, kidnapping Belle and then she will put on her wedding dress to unveil herself just like she did last year. The Devil says the plan last year was an unmitigated disaster where Jan ended up in her second coma and now she just got out of her third coma. Jan asks if she doesn’t get to marry Shawn then. The Devil remarks that marriage is for suckers while Jan gets to do the best part and have sex with Shawn which excites Jan. The Devil tells Jan that when she gets Shawn in bed, he will have betrayed his sacred wedding vows to Belle which will end them forever. Jan loves it and calls it perfect, but points out that Shawn hates her so she questions making him have sex with her. Jan doesn’t want to use mind control and wants him to do it out of his own free will and not force him. The Devil reminds her that she locked Shawn up in a cage. The Devil assures that he can make things happen and he can make Shawn throw her on the bed and make mad, passionate love to her.

Belle panics about the Devil being after them. Shawn just wants her to have her eyes open and wishes he could just lock her away at home. Shawn hugs her and assures they will get through this. Belle decides she should go get the charges dropped against Brady and then Devil or not, they will celebrate their anniversary. Shawn says he loves her and tells her to be careful. Belle tells him the same as they kiss and then Belle exits.

Roman asks Kate if Philip was found alive. Kate says it’s nothing like that but she and Victor agreed they made a mistake in signing the document to declare Philip dead so they revoked it. Roman is glad to hear but questions what changed her mind. Kate claims she realized it wasn’t fair to Brady and it made her feel like she’s giving up and she’s not because she really believes Philip is out there alive. Roman gets a text about a delivery. Kate tells him to go do that and says they can have a Christmas Eve lunch later. Roman says he’ll make sure the mistletoe is by the table. Kate then heads upstairs.

Philip questions Lucas taking Sami all the way to Wisconsin. Lucas confirms that he did and admits it wasn’t a great plan. Lucas explains that he knew these two guys from prison when he did time for protecting Will from shooting EJ. Lucas knew they had a cabin in the middle of nowhere and he’d pay them to keep Sami prisoner for him. Philip asks what the endgame was. Lucas admits he didn’t have one and he thought about letting Sami go but he knew she’d go right back to EJ like she always does.

Johnny declares that he’s not getting his marriage annulled. EJ remarks that Chanel is no stranger to that. Paulina argues that Chanel is the one who made a mistake with Johnny. Chanel stops her and agrees with EJ that she’s been a brat for a lot of her life and she was spoiled and entitled, so she made a lot of mistakes but she’s learned from them. Chanel says she’s learned what she wants to do and who she wants to be. Chanel brings up how well the bakery is doing. Johnny tells them to show some respect and complains about them not being happy for him. Sami feels it’s just sudden. Johnny argues that they know about each others’ past and it’s only made them closer. Johnny has no doubt that Chanel married him for love and not money. Paulina asks if he’s sure about that and brings up Allie. Paulina questions if Chanel is really sure she wants to marry Allie’s brother when not too long ago, she was kissing Allie, which surprises Sami and EJ. Sami questions what she just said. Paulina thinks she heard her. Chanel talks about her and Allie being friends in London then reconnecting in Salem and getting really close. Chanel clarifies that they talked about it with Tripp and Johnny and realized that they love each other as friends only. Chanel assurse that Allie is in love and happy with Tripp, while she is in love and happy with Johnny. Sami asks if Allie knows they got married. Chanel says she hasn’t had the chance to tell her yet, but she knows that she will be thrilled that she’s married to the man she loves. Chanel hopes that Sami could be happy for them too and says it would mean everything if she would give her blessing. Sami responds that she’s sorry but she can’t do that either.

Lucas tells Philip that he didn’t know what to do because weeks turned in to months and then EJ hooked up with Nicole, so he thought EJ would move on with Nicole so he could let Sami go but before he could, Sami stole one of his guys’ phones and called Allie while he happened to be with Allie, so he heard the fear and desperation in Sami’s voice and felt horrible, but he realized he could rescue her and be the hero. Lucas talks about knocking down the door and she gave him a huge hug but then when he brought her home, she went right back to EJ. Philip says he’s sorry. Lucas says he’d think Sami finding EJ in bed with Nicole would show that he’s no good for her but Sami is still fighting the divorce and wants to be with him. Lucas doesn’t know what to do now. Kate then comes home and asks what the hell as she told Philip not to let anyone in.

Jan assures The Devil that she’s totally down with the mad, passionate love part but she still doesn’t get how. The Devil instructs Jan to first text Shawn, so she does.

Shawn gets a text from an unknown number to come room 514 at the Salem Inn.

Lucas tells Kate that he’s not just anyone, he’s Philip’s brother. Philip adds that he had to tell him. Kate guesses he told everything which they confirm. Kate reminds them that no one else can know that Philip is alive and tells Lucas to keep his mouth shut. Lucas swears not to betray his brother’s confidence. Philip adds that he would never betray his either.

Johnny thought Sami would understand and questions why she is so against he and Chanel being married. Sami says she has the same questions that Paulina has. Sami worries that maybe it’s a rebound. Johnny calls it unbelievable. Sami says she’s concerned and Paulina is too. Sami thinks they would agree they are both very young. Sami tells Johnny that marriage isn’t a game, it’s real and for life. Johnny brings up EJ and Sami as an example with the lying, cheating, fighting, and constantly blaming each other for everything wrong. Johnny remarks that with them as role models, it’s a miracle he even wants to get married at all.

Shawn texts back asking who this is.

Jan gets excited that Shawn responded then apologizes if she offended the Devil by saying “oh my God.” Jan tells the Devil that Shawn wants to know who it is and asks how to respond. The Devil takes the phone to respond.

Shawn gets a text back telling him to just come and promising he won’t regret it.

Jan starts to worry about Shawn not answering. The Devil reminds her that he wasn’t asked a question. Jan asks what if he doesn’t come but The Devil assures that he will since as a detective, he won’t be able to resist. Jan worries that he’ll take one look at her and arrest her on the spot but the Devil promises that he won’t.

Shawn wonders if the text could be a trap and guesses there is only one way to find out, so he exits the station.

Kate informs Philip that she talked to Victor and she has fixed it. Philip asks if Victor knows he framed Brady. Kate confirms that he had to know everything for this to work. Philip worries that Victor will hate him even more than he already did but Kate insists that he doesn’t and he knows Philip isn’t himself right now. Kate assures they are going to get him the help that he needs. Philip asks about Brady. Kate says they took care of that too. Kate reminds Lucas that no one can know that Philip is alive. Lucas gets a text from Rafe, asking him to come to the police station. Lucas assures them he won’t say anything about Philip. Lucas guesses this is goodbye for awhile so he tells Philip to take care of himself as they hug. Lucas then exits the room.

EJ tells Johnny that was completely uncalled for. Johnny asks if the truth hurts. Johnny argues that EJ and Sami are not a normal married couple and brings up Sami cheating on EJ. Johnny asks how their divorce is coming. Sami cries that they are just concerned. Johnny guesses he should thank them since their marriage shows him exactly what kind of marriage he doesn’t want to have. Johnny hoped they could be happy for them but if they can’t, he’s cool with that too. Johnny adds that if EJ wants to cut him off, it won’t matter because Chanel is the only family he needs. Johnny declares that it’s Christmas Eve and he would like to spend it with his wife. Johnny and Chanel then exit the room together. EJ argues that Johnny is defensive which means he understands he’s made a mistake. EJ adds that at least they are all on the same page but Paulina says she’s not. EJ argues that she can’t possibly approve of this marriage. Paulina responds that she approves of letting their grown children find themselves instead of trying to control them. Paulina declares that she is going to trust her daughter and let them cool down then she will ask for forgiveness for her rude questions because the answers are none of her business. Paulina talks about how proud she is of Chanel and suggests EJ and Sami do the same if they don’t want to lose their son. Paulina then exits the mansion.

Lucas goes to the police station and greets Belle. Lucas says he just got a text from Rafe wanting to talk to him, so he guesses it’s about Philip. Belle informs him that she just met with Melinda and Rafe and that Rafe wanted to talk to him about Sami’s kidnapping.

EJ is sorry that Johnny upset Sami. Sami admits Johnny is right that they fight, cheat, and hurt each other so they aren’t a PSA for happily ever after. Sami acknowledges that Johnny is so excited and in love. Sami doesn’t want him to get hurt. EJ says that’s why they need to shut this down before any real damage is done. Sami worries that threatening to take his money away wasn’t the way to do it as he just dug in his heels further. EJ compares it to threatening to take away his favorite toy as a child. EJ argues that Johnny is a young man now and needs to learn some hard truths. Sami states that getting married and being crazy in love can lead to thinking it’s forever when they both know that it’s not.

Johnny and Chanel go to his room. Chanel commends the way he stood up to EJ and admits that EJ was pretty harsh. Johnny doesn’t give a damn if EJ cuts him off and says nothing they could say or do could make him change the way he feels about Chanel as they kiss. Johnny says he does have to ask if it might change how she feels.

Kate tells Philip what the plan is and asks if he’s okay with it. Philip confirms that he is. Kate wants him to promise that he’s really going to commit to treatment and getting better which means not contacting Chloe or anyone else and just focusing on himself. Philip knows he needs help, so he won’t screw it up. Kate says they will get him out of here then. Kate informs him that Victor has the jet fueled up on the runway. Kate tells Philip that she loves him as they hug. Philip thanks her and asks her to tell Victor that he said thank you. Kate says she will go downstairs to distract Roman so that Philip can slip out. Philip wishes Kate a Merry Christmas as she then exits the room.

Shawn goes to Room 514 at the Salem Inn and pulls his gun out as he knocks on the door. Jan says “oh my God he’s here”. The Devil reminds her not to say God’s name. Jan worries about what to do. The Devil instructs her to answer the door.

Kate goes downstairs. Roman asks if she’s ready for their Christmas Eve lunch. Kate apologizes for being so edgy when he’s been so wonderful and supportive during this whole ordeal. Roman just hates to see her unhappy and suggests they have their lunch. Roman adds that he didn’t get a chance to get the mistletoe. Kate says they don’t need mistletoe and kisses Roman, allowing Philip to sneak out behind them. Philip waves goodbye to Kate while she is hugging Roman, as he then exits the Pub.

Chanel assures Johnny that nothing EJ and Sami say can change the way she feels about him. Chanel jokes that they seem a little crazy so she asks why she would ever listen to them as they kiss. Chanel adds that it is Christmas Eve and they are alone, so she knows exactly how they can celebrate. They kiss until Johnny says to hold that. Johnny suggests they put their rings back on now that they made their big announcement, so they then exchange rings. Johnny tells Chanel that he loves her. Chanel tells him the same as they kiss on to the bed.

EJ tells Sami that he went in to their marriage with his eyes open and he had no delusions of happily ever after. Sami admits maybe she shouldn’t have tricked him in to marrying her the last time or had him thrown in prison for what he did with Abigail, but he gutted her and she just wanted to gut him back because she loves him so damn much, always has and always will. Sami knows EJ is denying it now but she knows he feels the same way. Sami says everyone keeps telling her to just give up because it’s hopeless and their marriage is doomed but she doesn’t quit and she’s never giving up on them. Sami tells EJ to go ahead with his new divorce papers so she can rip them up again. EJ responds that she’s not going to do that. Sami argues that he won’t stop her. EJ holds the papers from her as Sami questions why he’s doing this. EJ declares that he doesn’t want a divorce, he wants her. EJ then tears up the divorce papers himself which shocks Sami.

Lucas asks Belle about Sami’s kidnapping. Belle informs him that the Wisconsin police apparently found one of the guys who was holding Sami. Lucas asks if the guy said anything and what’s going on. Belle doesn’t know and Rafe just said they are transporting the guy to Salem as they speak, so hopefully they can find out who hired him and catch the son of a bitch who kidnapped her sister.

Shawn knocks on the door again and says it’s the police. The Devil has transformed Jan in to Belle, who answers the door and wishes Shawn a Happy Anniversary.

Update written by Joseph

Philip drops a snow globe in Kate’s room and it smashes. Kate tries to tell him it’s okay but Philip says that’s what he has done with his life as well as Chloe’s, Brady’s, and Kate’s. Kate reminds Philip that she is going to help get his life back together and fix it. Kate says she has a plan but has to talk to Victor first because she has to tell him that he’s alive. Philip asks why since Victor doesn’t give a damn and said he was dead to him. Kate insists that Victor didn’t mean it and was just upset and got carried away. Kate orders Philip not to leave the room or open the door. Kate tells Philip that she loves him as she then exits the room. Kate heads downstairs where she sees Lucas sitting at the counter on his laptop. Kate exits the Pub as Sami comes behind the counter to ask Lucas if he’s heard from Roman. Lucas informs her that Roman went to pick up his Santa suit from the cleaners. Sami remembers it’s Christmas Eve and remarks that it doesn’t feel like it. Sami asks if there’s any news on Philip. Lucas responds that he’s still missing and there’s no leads. Sami says she’s so sorry. Lucas thanks her and says he appreciates that. Lucas asks about Sami and the latest on Marlena. Sami doesn’t know and hoped Roman might have an update. Sami says she’s praying that Marlena is okay. Lucas toasts to them both getting what they want this Christmas.

Paulina is at home on the phone about ordering a deluxe floral arrangement for Lani but is informed that they were not delivered. Paulina looks down at her locket with a strand of Lani’s hair inside. Chanel then returns home to surprise Paulina.

Johnny goes home to the DiMera Mansion where EJ says he startled him because he didn’t know he was coming home. Johnny questions the pilot not telling him. EJ clarifies that he saw the flight plan but didn’t know if Johnny would be on it since he hasn’t heard from him in weeks. Johnny says he’s sorry. EJ says he should be after using the company jet. Johnny explains that Chanel needed time away from her family after everything that happened. Johnny asks EJ what he missed while he was gone.

Lucas informs Sami that he already got what he wanted for Christmas that year and that’s Sami being back safely in Salem. Sami thanks him again for saving her. Lucas jokes that he can’t get enough of that. Lucas points out that EJ hasn’t thanked him so he bets EJ hoped she was gone for good. Sami calls that not true. Lucas brings up the divorce papers. Sami reminds him that she tore them up. Lucas suggests EJ is drawing up new ones as they speak. Lucas mentions going upstairs to check on Kate. Sami asks how she’s doing. Lucas says she’s not good but he hasn’t spoken to her since yesterday as she’s really upset about Philip and locked herself in her room. Sami sends her love as Lucas heads upstairs.

Kate goes to the Kiriakis Mansion and tells Victor that he doesn’t have to be ashamed to mourn their son but there is no need for tears anymore because their son is alive. Victor is shocked and asks where the hell he is. Kate responds that she’s going to tell him but he can’t tell a soul.

Lucas goes to Kate’s room and knocks on the door, saying he’s really worried about Kate. Lucas knows Kate told Roman that she didn’t want to see anybody but he’s heartbroken over Philip too as he still loves and misses him. Lucas cries that he doesn’t know if he’s ever going to see him again. Philip then answers the door, shocking Lucas.

Sami goes to see Belle and asks if there’s any updates on Marlena. Belle says no and that she can’t talk as she has to get a suit to Brady for his bail hearing. Sami asks how Brady is doing. Belle admits he’s not great as he was just arrested for murder. Sami worries more about Marlena and questions John not calling. Belle is sure John is out on the search with Steve and then Shawn is at the safehouse with Ben and Ciara. Sami doesn’t know what good it will do since Marlena can turn into anything but admits she doesn’t have better ideas. Sami talks about feeling desperate to help but there is nothing they can do. Sami hates feeling helpless and reveals that’s why she wants to hire Belle to help her save her marriage.

EJ reminds Johnny about how Chanel felt that Marlena wanted her to drop the bombshell at the wedding with Paulina’s secret. Johnny remains shocked that Marlena shared the secret with Chanel since it was in confidence. Johnny calls it unlike her. EJ then reveals that’s because it wasn’t her.

Paulina comments on all the bags Chanel brought back with her from Italy. Chanel asks how things are with Abe. Paulina says that Abe says he still loves her but doesn’t know if he could ever trust her. Paulina insists that she would do anything to earn back his trust but Abe said there’s nothing she could do and that he just needs time. Chanel encourages that he’s not closing the door and asks about Lani. Paulina informs her that she hasn’t seen Lani since the aftermath of the wedding. Chanel is sorry about her part in that and can’t believe she blurted out that Paulina is Lani’s mother in front of everyone. Paulina then reveals to Chanel that it’s not her fault because it turns out the Devil made her do it.

Eli reads a Christmas card that Lani got from Paulina. Lani questions why Paulina can’t just leave her alone. Eli tells her that she loves her. Lani complains that Paulina lied to her for her whole life so now flowers can change that. Eli assures that Paulina won’t go away so she’s going to have to talk to her, face her, and deal with this for her own sake. Lani asks Eli to watch the twins. Lani kisses Eli and then exits.

Philip apologizes to Lucas for letting everyone think he was dead. Lucas asks how long he was going to let them all think that. Philip figured no one would really miss him that much. Lucas points out what he just said. Philip says that’s why he opened the door because it meant so much to him. Philip adds that Lucas can’t tell anyone that he’s alive. Lucas agrees not to but asks what he’s going to do. Philip doesn’t know yet but says that Kate just went to see Victor and says she has a plan to fix this. Lucas understands he’s been under a lot of stress and been pushed to his limit so it’s not his fault. Philip says a lot of his like gambling and getting involved with Ava twice. Philip says he made terrible choices but being with Chloe was supposed to turn it all around and be a whole new beginning. Philip says he was giving up on the paranoia and jealousy and he had it all under control until he left the Pub that day, went to Basic Black, and overheard Brady and Chloe talking about having sex on the conference table which brought him right back to high school, so something in him just snapped. Lucas understands if they were having an affair but Philip reveals they weren’t as Chloe told Kate it was all a misunderstanding. Lucas questions him believing that. Philip admits he doesn’t know but feels he should trust Chloe if he really loves her. Lucas doesn’t know when it comes to Brady. Philip feels that even if Chloe cheated on him, what he did was much worse as he let the people he loves think he was dead and he set Brady up for a murder he did not commit. Philip declares that he’s done so much damage and questions how to undo it.

Victor asks Kate why Philip would fake his own death. Kate adds that he framed Brady for it but that he was not in his right mind. Victor blames Chloe for driving him to this. Kate explains that Philip believes he’s failed at everything and that no one loves him. Kate is afraid that Philip really thinks life is not worth living, so he needs help. Victor responds that he needs a good lawyer. Kate worries that the stress of a trial would be too much as would prison. Victor questions if she’s saying he’s going to live above the Brady Pub for the rest of his life. Kate says that what she is saying is that they need to make Philip disappear so he can get the help that he needs, but Victor responds that he can’t do that. Victor clarifies that he would do anything in his power to help Philip, but Brady is his grandson so he can’t let him go to prison for a murder that he didn’t commit. Kate says there has to be something to make this mess go away for both of them but she’s not sure of what yet. Kate feels they need to figure it out together.

Lucas is sure Kate and Victor can help Philip in some way. Philip argues that they can’t fix everything since his future with Chloe is probably over and Brady will probably somehow convince Chloe that he’s innocent, so he’ll win. Philip feels Chloe will want nothing to do with him and he’ll have no choice but to walk away, but he’s not sure that he can.

Sami tells Belle that there is no way in hell that she’s giving up on her marriage and that EJ only wants to divorce her out of DiMera pride. Sami argues that EJ still loves her and she’s going to fight like hell to do whatever it takes to save her marriage. Belle can’t believe Sami is thinking about herself at a time like this. Sami complains that she came over asking for an update on Marlena. Belle says since there’s not one, she just asks for a favor for herself. Sami asks if it’s a crime to ask her sister for help saving her marriage. Belle argues that Marlena is possessed, Philip might be dead, and Brady is facing prison for murder but Sami is thinking about her marriage. Sami confirms she is also worried about her marriage and she would think Belle would appreciate that it’s not a trivial matter. Sami adds that they have two kids and EJ is the love of her life. Belle says she gets it, so Sami asks if she will represent her. Belle responds that even if she wanted to, she can’t, because she works for DiMera Enterprises so it would be unethical for her to represent her. Belle is sure Sami won’t have any trouble finding another lawyer. Sami doesn’t want another lawyer, she wants her. Belle argues that Sami just wants someone to make EJ stay married to her. Sami says that would be the point. Belle says that’s exactly why she has to turn her down because she doesn’t take cases that she knows she can’t win.

EJ reveals to Johnny that the Ouija board was right on the money about the Devil being in the DiMera Crypt and that Marlena actually is possessed by the Devil. EJ adds that she locked John and Susan were locked inside and that Johnny inadvertently tipped off Steve, otherwise they would barely have made it out alive. Johnny asks if they are okay now. EJ says physically yes and that Susan is still a little shaken up. EJ mentions Susan is staying at the mansion and would be delighted to see him. Johnny realizes this is why Marlena was so stoked about his movie and wonders if this will derail the whole project. Johnny then apologizes and says that’s the last thing that matters right now. Johnny asks if Sami knows or if she’s still off the grid. EJ tells him there is something else he should know.

Paulina reveals to Chanel that Marlena is possessed by the Devil. Chanel worries that Johnny has no idea. Paulina is sure he does now because the whole town does. Chanel starts to tell Paulina about Italy but Lani arrives at the door. Paulina says she’s glad she came by. Lani thought Chanel was in Italy. Chanel informs her that she got back this morning and she can’t say enough that she’s so sorry about what she did at the wedding. Lani responds that it wasn’t Chanel’s fault. Chanel thanks her for understanding. Chanel adds that while she was away, she did a lot of thinking about how jealous she was because she thought Lani was Paulina’s favorite. Chanel calls it stupid and petty and says she’s over it now. Chanel declares that she got something she always wanted; a sister, and no matter how Lani feels about her, she is so grateful. Lani responds that she is too. Lani tells Chanel that what they are may have changed but what hasn’t changed is that she loves her very much and always will as they hug. Chanel tells Lani that Paulina feels the same way about her. Lani notes that it said that in the card Paulina sent with the flowers. Paulina asks if that’s why she came by. Lani confirms that it is.

Johnny is shocked to learn that Sami was kidnapped and asks by who. EJ responds that no one knows since after Lucas rescued her, she declined to file a police report. Johnny asks if Sami is okay. EJ guesses it’s the kidnappers who are worse for wear. Johnny decides to call her now. Johnny tells Sami that EJ just told him what happened and asks if she’s okay. Sami says she’s fine and she’s just happy to hear his voice. Johnny says he’s happier to hear her voice and asks when he can see her. Sami says she will come over now so Johnny says that’s perfect and hangs up. Johnny informs EJ that Sami is coming over and asks if that’s a problem. EJ says no as it will give him the chance to serve her for new divorce papers since she tore up the last ones. Johnny questions them still getting divorced as he thought after finding out what Sami went through, EJ might miss her and realize what she means to him. EJ reminds him that Sami cheated on him, so he moved on and is with Nicole now which surprises Johnny. Johnny reminds EJ that he cheated on Nicole before with Sami. EJ asks what his point is. Johnny guesses they will see.

Belle asks if Sami thinks getting in EJ’s face five minutes is going to make him fall back in love with her. Sami argues that she didn’t ask for her advice. Sami warns Belle that she messed with the Devil’s plans when she showed up at the cabin so she should avoid any black cats. Sami wishes Belle a happy anniversary and then storms out. Belle then gets a call from Kate, who invites her to the Kiriakis Mansion.

Kate informs Victor that Belle is on her way and assures this is going to work. Victor says that it better.

Lani tells Paulina that the flowers were beautiful. Paulina is glad that she liked them. Lani then informs her that she will be bringing the flowers to the hospital tomorrow to give them to someone who actually wants them. Lani then rips up Paulina’s card which upsets Paulina and Chanel. Lani knows that Chanel means well but says this is between her and Paulina. Lani wants Paulina to stop reaching out to her or sending her gifts. Paulina says Merry Christmas and wishes her twins a happy birthday. Lani simply says goodbye and walks out.

Johnny tells EJ that if he’s uncomfortable being around Sami, he can leave before she gets there. EJ says he’s not and it will give him the opportunity to take care of their legal business and then she will be out of his life once and for all. Johnny adds that Chanel is coming over for lunch soon, so he’d appreciate if EJ and Sami keep it civil. EJ jokes that Chanel is accustomed to family drama. Sami then runs in and excitedly hugs Johnny. Sami can’t believe they are all in Salem together again and calls it a Christmas miracle in the most wonderful time of the year. Sami declares there’s nothing more wonderful than having her family back together.

Lucas doesn’t know what’s going to happen with Chloe but warns that Philip has other things to worry about right now. Philip agrees to focus on making things right, but what’s right is Brady being with Kristen who is the love of his life, while for him, it’s always been Chloe. Lucas assures that he gets it since he was infatuated with Carrie when the woman he really loved was Sami. Lucas talks about he and Sami being best friends, lovers, enemies, everything, but now it looks like he’s in the same boat as Philip. Philip says at least he and Sami still have a chance since he didn’t do anything crazy like he did. Lucas responds that he wouldn’t be so sure about that.

Belle goes to the Kiriakis Mansion and says she has Brady’s bail hearing in an hour, so she asks if they have information to help him. Kate responds that there is not going to be a bail hearing because she and Victor have decided to revoke the document they signed to have Philip legally dead. Victor adds that without a body, there is no case, so Melinda will have to drop the charges against Brady. Belle is glad they came to their senses but asks why. Kate claims that she realized if she believed Brady is a killer then she believes Philip is dead and she doesn’t believe that. Victor adds that he doesn’t want his grandson going to prison for a murder that he didn’t commit. Kate says as agonizing as it is, they have to stay patient and let the process play itself out and pray that Philip comes back to them. Belle tells them that she and Brady are working really hard to piece together what happened that night. Kate thought Brady was blackout drunk. Belle says Brady last remembers being outside the Pub and explains that she checked the security footage but the video was erased just from the time Brady was there, so she thinks he was framed. Kate asks who would do something as horrible as that. Belle reveals that she and Shawn think it was Kristen which Kate says totally makes sense. Belle adds that she’s only telling them so they don’t think that Brady is getting away with anything because he’s innocent. Belle points out that Kristen’s M.O. is making people disappear, not killing them. Victor brings up when Kristen stabbed him. Kate thinks this sounds very positive and they can be cautiously optimistic. Belle agrees as she’s more hopeful than ever that Philip is out there somewhere, alive.

Philip asks if Lucas did something crazy. Lucas says it was very crazy but like Philip, he did it for love for Sami. Lucas says he’s done a lot of insane things in the past like drugging Sami’s spaghetti and gaslighting her with a Will doll, but this time he thinks he outdid himself. Philip is not sure that’s possible. Lucas warns him to brace himself.

Chanel mentions bringing a present for Paulina but guesses it’s in one of Johnny’s bags. Chanel mentions that Johnny invited her over for a lunch, so she invites Paulina to join them. Paulina says she wouldn’t be good company. Chanel pleads with her and reveals that she already told Johnny that she’s coming because they really want their parents to meet. Chanel feels it might take Paulina’s mind off things and asks her to do it for her. Paulina then gives in and agrees to go.

Johnny hopes Sami can forgive him since she called him a few months ago. Sami recalls getting a hold of her phone but they caught her before she could say anything. Johnny says it was strange but he didn’t think anything of it and he should’ve realized something was wrong. Sami hugs him and assures that it’s okay and not his fault. Sami says she’s here now and they are together again. Johnny gets a text from Chanel that she’s bringing Paulina over for lunch. Sami doesn’t want to intrude on him having guests but Johnny says he’s dying for her to meet Chanel. Johnny goes to tell Harold to set two more places for lunch. Sami comments to EJ that it sounds like their son is in love and asks EJ if he remembers what that feels like. Sami tells EJ to stop fighting and denying it because they both know how he feels. Johnny then brings Chanel and Paulina in to the room. Johnny introduces Chanel to Sami. Sami talks about hearing so much about Chanel from Johnny and Allie. EJ adds that they have all heard about Paulina. Paulina calls the mansion really nice. Paulina notices the portrait of Stefano and acknowledges him as Abe’s late father in law. Johnny says he and Chanel have been talking about getting their families together for dinner but asks if they should just tell them now since they are all here.

Kate asks Belle if Philip is legally alive now that they have revoked the document. Belle confirms that and that Melinda will have no choice but to drop the charges. Victor asks what happens next. Belle says she will go talk to Brady about what they discussed and then she will speak to Melinda about dropping the charges. Belle thanks them both and says she’s so grateful that her brother will be free. Belle adds that they both know how much Philip means to her so she really hopes he will be okay. Belle says she will be in touch and exits the mansion. Kate tells Victor that they did the right thing and now they just need to make sure that Philip gets the help he needs.

Philip questions what Lucas did. Lucas says he didn’t learn his lesson when it comes to Sami. Lucas states that if even if EJ hates Sami’s guts, he could be standing next to him, professing his love for her and she would still pick EJ over him. Philip jokes that maybe he should profess that he hated her guts. Lucas responds that he did more than that. Philip tells him to spit it out. Lucas then reveals to Philip that he is the one who kidnapped Sami!

Sami asks if someone has a confession to make. Chanel agrees they should tell them. Johnny says they had an amazing time in Italy which Chanel calls life changing. Johnny then announces that he and Chanel got married in Rome! Johnny and Chanel then kiss, leaving EJ, Sami, and Paulina shocked.

Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

Chloe knocks on Kate’s door, saying she needs to talk to her about Philip. Inside, Philip tells Kate not to answer it because no one can know he’s alive, especially not Chloe. Kate argues that people are going to find out eventually so he can’t keep hiding. Philip says he’s not asking for forever, just today. Kate calls out to Chloe that she’s tired and not up for visitors but Chloe refuses to go until she opens the door.

Shawn joins Belle in the interrogation room. Shawn says he is sorry about Brady getting arrested for murder. Belle confirms Brady was just taken to his cell. Shawn argues that they don’t even know if Philip is dead. Belle brings up Victor and Kate signing off legal papers saying that he is even though there is no body. Shawn is sure Belle will find a way to get Brady cleared. Belle asks about Ciara and why Shawn is not guarding her and Ben right now. Shawn informs her that he had a unit take them to a safehouse to keep them hidden. Belle can’t believe this is happening and recalls seeing Marlena taken over by a demon and choking them. Shawn is thankful that Belle showed up when she did because he has no doubt that Devil Marlena would have killed them all.

Steve finds Kayla, knocked out on the floor of her office with blood on her head as her phone lies nearby and a chair is knocked over.

Devil Marlena stands over Jan Spears as she lies in a coma. The Devil declares that Jan has been in the coma long enough and he needs his star player back in the game. Jan then wakes up.

Steve wakes Kayla up. Kayla freaks out and yells at Steve to get away from her.

The Devil pretends to be Marlena for Jan and tells her that everything will be okay. Jan questions what happened to her. Marlena informs her that she’s been in a coma for about six months and it’s nearly Christmas. Jan laments missing the summer Olympics. Jan declares that the person to blame for this is Philip Kiriakis. Jan recalls being in an airfield with Philip and Chloe and she had a gun but Philip threw dirt in her eyes and banged her head into a pole. Marlena responds that she wouldn’t worry because Philip has gotten what’s coming to him.

Allie and Tripp sit together in the town square. Tripp asks if the police found Philip’s body. Allie says no and just his prosthetic leg. Tripp encourages that there’s a chance he’s still alive then. Allie says she’s praying for that but if so, she thinks he would’ve contacted someone by now…

Kate answers her door and asks what Chloe wants. Chloe brings up Kate and Victor having Philip declared dead. Kate asks if she’s surprised since Philip has been missing for days, his prosthetic leg was found in the river, and Brady was covered in his blood so she should know that Brady killed Philip. Chloe argues that there’s no body and zero proof that Philip is dead. Chloe wants Kate to tell Melinda that she made a mistake in signing that document because Melinda used it to have Brady arrested. Kate asks why she wouldn’t since she has a knife covered in Brady’s fingerprints and the vicious texts he sent to Philip. Kate tells her that Brady cut Philip out of her life. Chloe doesn’t know what happened that night but says Brady is incapable of something like that. Chloe states that Brady swears he did not hurt Philip and she believes him. Philip remains listening in as he hides. Kate calls her a real piece of work and says Brady killed her boyfriend in a jealous rage but she still stands by Brady. Chloe argues that she cares deeply for Philip but it’s not fair. Kate questions if that’s why she and Brady had sex on the conference table at Basic Black. Chloe then questions who told her that.

Belle tells Shawn that she has a theory about Brady’s situation as they try to figure out exactly what happened. Belle informs him that she went to the Pub about the security footage and it was gone. Shawn suggests a lot of places have their footage erased over time but Belle reveals that the rest was there and all that was missing was the couple hours that Brady was there. Belle thinks that it was purposely erased and that Brady is being framed. Belle adds that she’s not sure by who but she has an idea.

Chloe demands an answer from Kate as to who told her that she had sex with Brady. Kate claims that Chloe did as she had a meeting at Basic Black and she happened to overhear the details of how she betrayed her son. Chloe says she has no idea what she’s talking about. Kate informs her that she heard her tell Brady not to tell anyone about the fact that they had sex on the conference table. Chloe explains that it wasn’t them as they were talking about someone else and she misunderstood. Kate doesn’t believe her and tells her and Brady to burn in Hell. Chloe then admits that it was Nicole which Kate questions. Chloe says she shouldn’t have said anything but she wanted her to know that it wasn’t her. Kate asks if Nicole had sex with Brady then. Chloe says no and it was with someone else but that doesn’t matter. Chloe argues that all that matters is that she and Brady did not have sex and swears that she never cheated on Philip.

Tripp feels he’s not doing a good job of cheering Allie up, so he gives her an early Christmas present of a bracelet. Allie then reveals that she got him the same bracelet.

Kayla believes Steve is the Devil again but Steve assures that he’d never hurt her and that she’s confused. Steve asks who else he would be. Kayla explains that the Devil came in as Steve, turned in to Marlena and knocked her out. Steve insists this is him now and he’s here. Kayla worries that she’s being tricked again. Steve argues that even the Devil can’t fake their love. Steve promises Kayla that it’s him. Steve hugs Kayla as she cries that she was so scared.

Devil Marlena informs Jan that Brady killed Philip. Jan remarks that Chloe hardly seems worth a life sentence. Marlena wants to talk about Jan’s future. Jan says she’s learned her lesson so she’s done causing trouble for Belle and Shawn. Marlena remarks that it’s too bad because nobody likes a quitter. Jan questions if Marlena wants her to cause trouble for them. Marlena says that’s why she woke her from her coma. Jan asks why Marlena would want her to go after Belle when she is her mother. The Devil then reveals that she is not.

Tripp tells Allie that he can return her bracelet but Allie says no way and jokes that they can be bracelet buddies. They both say they love their gift. Tripp says it’s good to hear her laugh which she credits him for. Tripp says he has to get back to work and asks what Allie’s going to do now. Allie decides she will go visit Kate because she can’t imagine what she’s going through.

Kate argues that Chloe has always been a cheater so she doesn’t know who she thinks she’s fooling. Chloe admits that she’s made mistakes in the past and there was a time that she was torn between Brady and Philip, but once she chose Philip, she was all in on their relationship and never strayed once. Kate argues that she was always with Brady every time Philip turned around and she doesn’t believe that nothing happened between them. Kate calls Chloe a manipulative flirt, tease, liar, and a slut. Chloe doesn’t care whate Kate thinks because she has zero respect for her. Chloe swears on Parker’s life that she never cheated on Philip and she wouldn’t swear on her son’s life if she wasn’t telling the truth. Kate says maybe she didn’t but questions why she stands by Brady when he killed Philip. Chloe doesn’t believe that and says Brady may have been jealous and drunk but he’s not a murderer, so she’s still holding out hope that Philip is alive. Chloe cries about the thought of losing him. Kate says they may just have to accept it. Chloe refuses and says if Kate lets Melinda convict Brady of a crime he didn’t commit, then they may never find out what happened that night. Chloe asks Kate to go talk to Melinda for Philip’s sake. Kate agrees to think about it, so Chloe thanks her and walks away. Kate shuts the door. Philip comes out from the closet and calls Chloe a lying bitch.

Shawn asks Belle who she thinks framed Brady. Belle knows it sounds crazy but asks what if it was Kristen. Shawn asks why she would do that when she’s in love with him. Belle says when Brady broke up with Kristen, she was devastated and she tried to kidnap their daughter so maybe this was plan B. Shawn questions if Kristen would really kill Philip just for revenge on Brady. Belle suggests it could be revenge on Victor too. Shawn acknowledges that Kristen had motive and opportunity. Belle states that someone went through a lot of trouble to frame Brady and questions who else would go to such extremes.

Steve wants Kayla to get checked out by a nurse but Kayla just wants to stay with him. Kayla talks about the Devil looking and sounding exactly like Steve, so she didn’t suspect anything until he kissed her and turned in to Marlena. Kayla says she was terrified seeing Marlena with evil in her eyes and voice. Kayla thought she was going to kill her. Steve is thankful that she’s alright and asks what the Devil wanted. Kayla says the Devil went on a rant that they were a thorn in his side like Shawn and Belle and that she was the key to helping him. Steve wonders what she meant.

Jan questions Marlena’s voice. The Devil reveals that he’s not Marlena and has merely taken possession of her body. Jan thinks she’s been smoking. The Devil says he’s not up for her juvenile jokes. The Devil needs Jan to start wreaking havoc on Shawn and Belle or else he will put her back in her coma. Jan is not sure she’s really awake and wonders if she’s dreaming or dead. Jan says if she runs in to Philip, she swears to God. The Devil tells her not to use the G word as her eyes turn yellow. Jan realizes Marlena really is Satan. The Devil tells her not to be afraid. Jan says she’s not, she’s delighted since God clearly isn’t on her side, so it’s nice to know someone has her back even if it is the Prince of Darkness. The lights then turn on as Tripp enters the room and asks what the hell.

Philip tells Kate that it took everything in him not to barge in and call out Chloe on her lies. Kate says he knows she’s not one to take anything Chloe says as the truth, but she thinks Chloe is sincere. Philip argues that she can’t be serious. Kate points out that Chloe swore on her child and a mother doesn’t do that unless she’s telling the truth. Philip can’t believe Kate is actually believing that bull. Philip calls Chloe shameless and says she’d do anything to win her over. Philip argues that Chloe tried to pawn off what happened on Nicole. Kate believes it was Nicole. Kate doesn’t blame Philip but thinks it’s clear that he misunderstood what Chloe and Brady were saying, so they didn’t betray him. Philip insists that he’s seen how they are together, so he knows it’s true. Kate suggests maybe he wants it to be true because otherwise, this was all for nothing. Philip complains that it can’t have been all for nothing.

Steve questions why Marlena would say she needed Kayla and then knocked her out. Kayla says that she kept saying she was the key. Kayla then realizes that her key card is gone so Marlena must have taken it. Steve says if Marlena wanted access to the hospital, she must still be here. Kayla wonders what she is up to.

Tripp tells Marlena that he’s sorry to interrupt but this door is usually locked so he saw it open and came to check it out. Jan notes that Tripp seems familiar. Tripp reminds her that Jan killed his brother, Charlie. Jan remarks that she almost had to kill him too for coming to the door that night. Tripp asks when Jan woke up. Jan says it was just 30 minutes ago. Tripp calls it great news and says Marlena has everything under control, so he will leave them alone. Tripp goes to leave but the Devil uses his power to slam the door shut and declares that Tripp is not going anywhere.

Belle asks what Shawn thinks about her theory that Kristen could have framed Brady. Shawn says it would be tough to prove since nobody knows where Kristen is. Chloe enters and says she’s looking for Brady. Belle reveals that Brady is in lockup for the night as he did not make bail so she will try again tomorrow. Belle asks Chloe about going to visit John. Chloe says she told John she would talk to Kate about reconsidering having Philip declared dead. Chloe understands Kate wants justice for her son and they all do but she tried convincing Kate that incriminating an innocent man is not the way to do it. Shawn asks how that went. Chloe says that Kate agreed to think about it which surprises Belle. Chloe knows Kate hates her guts but thinks maybe deep down, she knows that Brady did not kill Philip.

Philip argues that he did not misinterpret anything about sex on the conference table. Kate asks if he actually heard Brady and Chloe say they were the ones who had sex. Kate says they didn’t and they didn’t betray him. Philip tells her to wake up and reminds her that Lucas saw them walk in to the Salem Inn together, where they were having sex behind his back. Kate knows he’s angry but says she’s going to help him and together they will get him out of this. Philip questions what she’s talking about since Brady has been arrested and will spend the rest of his life behind bars for killing him. Kate points out that he’s alive. Philip asks who cares since it’s what Brady deserves. Kate asks if Philip is going to pretend he’s dead for the rest of his life because that would be like being in jail too. Philip says maybe, but if it destroys any chance of Brady and Chloe having happiness then it’s worth it. Kate disagrees and says this has gone way too far. Kate admits she’s gone to extremes at times because of the same feelings that he is feeling now. Kate says she wanted people to suffer but it never works and Philip’s suffering will only get worse. Philip calls that not possible. Kate urges that revenge is not the only thing and he has to stop now before it’s too late. Philip refuses to let Brady and Chloe make a fool out of him. Kate insists that they were not together, they did not betray him, and did not have an affair. Philip doesn’t want to hear it and complains that Chloe has brainwashed Kate. Philip says Chloe has Kate defending her now and it’s all a lie. Philip claims he will find a way to trick Chloe in to confessing and admitting her affair with Brady. Kate tells him that he has to stop because this is crazy. Philip insists that he’s right about this and he knows what they are doing. Philip says it’s just like high school where Chloe and Brady ride off in the sunset and leave him behind, but not this time. Philip declares this time, he wins.

Kayla tells Steve that security will be on the lookout for Marlena. Steve points out that Marlena works at the hospital, so he asks why she doesn’t have a key card. Kayla explains that her is more like the master key while Marlena’s is more limited, especially since putting in new security protocols a few months ago. Kayla brings up Dr. Snyder and Jan Spears. Steve realizes Marlena wanted her key card so she could get to Jan Spears. Kayla reminds him that Jan is in a coma. Steve points out that no one has made Belle and Shawn suffer the way that Jan has. Steve knows Jan is part of Marlena’s plan somehow so he has to find her. Kayla says not without her. Steve doesn’t want Kayla going anywhere but Kayla refuses to let him face the Devil without her. Kayl and Steve then exit the office together.

The Devil remarks that Tripp is too smart for his own good and thought he could fool him, but he realized Tripp knows who he is. Tripp says he didn’t believe it at first but he’s come around. The Devil reveals he should’ve realized when he sent Charlie to visit he and Allie. The Devil asks who else can raise people from the dead. Jan adds that he’s also skilled at bringing people out of a coma. Tripp tries to get through to Marlena that so many people love her and encourages her to fight. The Devil says not to bother because Marlena is gone. Tripp doesn’t believe that and tells Marlena to hang in there while he goes to get help. Tripp tries to leave but the Devil grabs a tray and knocks Tripp out, remarking that now Tripp is the one who needs help. The Devil tells Jan to get up because they have work to do. Jan asks about Tripp. The Devil says he’ll put him to good use.

Steve and Kayla go to Jan’s room and are surprised by what they find.

Kate tells Philip that this isn’t about winning or losing. Philip disagrees. Kate sees how much he’s hurting. Philip argues that she doesn’t understand. Kate asks him to help her understand then. Philip says no matter how hard he tries or what he does, he loses and he keeps losing everyone and everything that matters to him most. Philip brings up Belle and Chloe and says he loved them so much, but they both ended up choosing someone else. Kate says that’s their loss. Philip adds that he lost the children he thought were his, first Claire and then Parker and then he gave Tyler up for adoption. Philip calls himself a hypocrite for always complaining about how his father treats him, when he’s a stranger to his own son. Philip adds that Victor wasn’t wrong for wanting to disown him since he almost destroyed everything he ever worked for in his entire life, but Victor gave him a second chance and he didn’t make the most of it. Kate argues that he was under attack at Titan from Gabi and Jake. Philip feels he took himself down as he had his big bright future handed to him and all he had to do was not screw it up, but he did screw it up like he always does. Philip says he is just some kind of screw up. Kate asks him not to say that but Philip says it’s true. Philip adds that this new beginning with Chloe was supposed to change all of that and turn it all around. Philip states that if the most incredible woman on earth chose him, then he’d be worthy of love once and for all, but it proved the opposite like he’s worthless or damaged goods. Philip calls himself broken in more ways than one. Kate disagrees. Philip asks what is wrong with him and why he can’t hold on to the people he loves. Philip questions what it takes to get these people to love him. Kate says she can’t speak for anyone else, but she is his mother and she loves him with all her heart. Kate hugs Philip as she cries.

Steve and Kayla see that Jan is in her hospital bed, pretending to still be in a coma. Steve remarks that he was sure Marlena would be there. Kayla guesses they were wrong…

Jan is with Devil Marlena in the town square. Jan is so glad he woke her up in time for Christmas because she likes the sales. The Devil says they won’t have much time for shopping because her mission is to get revenge on Belle and Shawn. Jan points out that Christmas Eve also happens to be their wedding anniversary.

Belle tells Chloe about thinking Kristen may have set Brady up. Belle doesn’t think Kristen killed Philip but she could’ve made him disappear. Chloe says that makes more sense than Brady murdering anyone because he would never go that far. Shawn adds that Kristen would. Belle asks if not Kristen, who would frame Brady.

Philip agrees with Kate that he’s made a huge mess and asks what he’s going to do. Kate tells Philip to trust her and not worry about anything because she’s going to fix it for him.

Allie sits with Roman at the Pub and talks about how great Tripp is. Roman says it warms his heart to see her so happy. Allie says she never thought she’d meet someone she could feel so comfortable with. Allie shows Roman the bracelet they bought each other for Christmas.

Steve asks Kayla why Marlena would steal her key card if not to get to Jan. Kayla doesn’t know but says they need to keep looking for her because she could still be in the hospital. Kayla wonders what else could be up her sleeve. Kayla and Steve exit the room. It is then revealed that “Jan” in the coma bed is wearing Tripp’s bracelet, so the Devil transformed Tripp in to Jan.

Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

Rex forgot his phone in the town square and goes back to retrieve it right as Xander and Gwen are walking through the square, so Rex ends up coming face to face with Xander and Gwen. Rex greets Xander and asks who his friend is. Xander says it’s none of his business and asks where Sarah is.

Kayla is in her office at the hospital, on the phone saying that Sarah hasn’t worked there in months but she can refer them to another doctor. Kayla hangs up as Steve arrives. Kayla asks if there’s any news on Marlena. Steve reveals he talked to Shawn and found out that Shawn, John, Ben and Ciara had a dramatic run in with Marlena. Kayla asks what happened. Steve says she won’t believe it but Marlena told Ben and Ciara that John was physically abusing her.

Belle checks on John at home. John says he’s okay but Belle wants him to go to the hospital. John says he doesn’t need a doctor, he just needs to find Marlena. Belle still can’t believe what she walked in on. Belle knows it’s not Marlena. John is glad she showed up when she did because she probably saved Shawn, Ben, and his life. Belle says they have to get Marlena the help she needs before they lose her forever. John guarantees that they will. John asks if there’s any news on Philip or if they found a body yet. Belle says not yet but she’s praying that they don’t.

Kate heads on in to her room and is shocked to find Philip sitting inside. Kate rushes up and hugs him as she can’t believe it. Kate says they thought he was murdered and had him declared dead. Philip remarks that Victor’s been waiting to do that since the day he was born. Kate assures they were both worried sick but Philip finds that hard to believe. Kate can’t believe he is here and asks if he’s okay. Philip says he looks okay. Kate questions how he survived Brady’s attack. Philip then reveals that Brady didn’t attack him, but he went after Brady.

John tells Belle that it’s possible Philip is still alive which is a good thing. Belle continues to worry about John. John assures that he will be okay as soon as they find Marlena and bring her home safely. Belle says until then, he’s going to have to accept a little extra TLC from her. John then agrees to whatever she says. Belle gets a call and says she’s on her way to the police station. John asks if it was about Marlena. Belle informs him that Chloe just told her that Brady has been arrested.

Kayla can understand Ben believing the worst of John since Marlena saved his life and he’ll believe anything she says, but Ciara grew up with John and Marlena. Steve notes that Ciara was skeptical at first but apparently the Devil made Marlena morph in to John, so he could threaten Marlena right in front of them. Kayla asks if this could be more horrifying. Steve then reveals that the Devil almost strangled John and Ben to death without even touching them.

Rex calls Xander rude. Xander asks again where Sarah is and brings up finding him in bed with her on his wedding day. Rex responds by asking how the hell he should know where Sarah is. Xander asks what kind of game he’s playing and if he thinks this is funny. Rex has no idea what he’s talking about. Xander says that everyone knows Sarah left town with Rex. Gwen tries to pull Xander away. Xander asks Rex what he’s hiding. Rex responds that he hasn’t seen Sarah in months since right after that wedding day. Xander questions him saying that he and Sarah haven’t been at Doctors Without Borders as a team. Rex confirms that they never were.

John wants to go to the police station with Belle because he can’t just sit here and wait. Belle urges John to rest because Marlena will need him to be strong. Belle says she will take care of Brady and she’ll call as soon as she knows anything. Belle then exits.

Brady is handcuffed to the table in the interrogation room. Chloe comes in and asks if he’s okay. Brady responds that he’s been booked for murder. Chloe is sorry this is happening. Brady says it’s okay and asks how she got in. Chloe tells him that Eli said it was okay if she just stayed for a little bit. Chloe mentions that she called Belle so she is on her way. Brady thanks her but doesn’t know what good Belle can do since Melinda has it out for him to book him for Philip’s murder. Chloe questions Brady not remembering anything from that day. Brady wishes they could go back to the river because he was starting to have flashes of memory but it’s all fuzzy and out of reach. Chloe wishes she could help. Brady figures John is probably climbing the walls right now so he asks Chloe to go let John know that he’s okay, so he doesn’t freak out about his situation. Chloe agrees to go check on John. Brady thanks her and says he’s very thankful to Chloe for everything, especially for believing in him. Chloe responds that she knows who he is and she knows his heart, so they will get through this together as she holds his hand.

Kate says that Brady attacked Philip, the police found him covered in Philip’s blood with the bloody knife and he blacked out from drinking. Philip calls it pretty convincing which Kate questions. Philip doesn’t blame her for thinking that Brady killed him because that means his plan was a success. Kate doesn’t understand. Philip then reveals that he staged the whole thing to make it look like Brady had killed him. Kate then slaps Philip and calls him a bastard.

Gwen tries warning Xander about missing their flight but Xander tells her to let it go. Xander tells Rex that this doesn’t make sense since Sarah told him that she was leaving Salem with Rex. Rex says it didn’t take her long to change her mind. Rex admits he thought they were going away together and he finally had her back, but when it came time to leave, she jilted him like she did to Xander.

Philip asks Kate if that slap was really necessary. Kate feels like she could kill him herself. Philip calls that extreme. Kate asks if he has any idea what he put them all through and why the hell he would do something like this. Philip calls it obvious that Brady and Chloe were having an affair behind his back, so he had to make them pay by framing Brady for his murder. Kate questions putting the rest of them through hell to torture Brady and Chloe. Philip says he didn’t do it to hurt them and he came back to let her know that he’s okay. Kate thinks he should’ve just told her before or not done it at all. Philip apologizes for what he put her through but asks if she’s not a little impressed by how he pulled it off. Philip asks if she wants to know how he did it but Kate says she doesn’t care. Kate then asks Philip to tell her how he did it. Philip says he’s been dying to tell someone. Philip explains how he followed Brady to the Pub and hid while he and Chloe chatted. Philip complains about how they looked at each other and after a while, Chloe left and Brady got a phone call. Philip says Brady was out there all alone, so he never saw him coming as he then knocked him out with a crowbar in front of the Pub. Kate says anyone could have seen him but Philip assures he was careful. Kate asks how he got him down to the river covered in Philip’s blood. Philip tells her to be patient because the story of Brady Black’s downfall is just beginning.

Belle goes to see Brady and asks how they are treating him in the interrogation room. Brady complains but Belle says he’s not the only one dealing with drama. Brady asks what’s going on. Belle explains that she had to knock out her demonically possessed mother so she wouldn’t kill John, Shawn, and Brady.

Chloe goes to see John to update him on Brady. John mentions that Belle just went down there but he hasn’t heard from her so he asks how Brady is holding up. Chloe says he’s good considering the circumstances. John almost falls so Chloe asks if he’s okay. John assures that he’s fine and just had a little run in with El Diablo which Chloe questions. John reveals that he, Shawn, Belle, and Ben mixed it up with Marlena in the cabin and he’s a little worse for wear. Chloe asks if John needs to see a doctor. John says he’s more concerned about Brady. Chloe says Brady is concerned about him. John asks Chloe what it’s looking like. Chloe admits that it seems like Melinda is out for blood, so Brady is in a tough spot. John questions how Melinda got an arrest warrant when they don’t know if Philip is alive or dead.

Steve tells Kayla that it sounds like John and the others are lucky to be alive as most people don’t survive an encounter like that. Kayla asks if they were badly injured. Steve says no but they are shaken up after coming face to face with a power like that. Kayla hopes Steve and John find Marlena to get her the help she needs so that no one else gets hurt. Steve says he wants that more than anything. Steve and Kayla kiss until “Steve” suddenly transforms in to Devil Marlena. Kayla tells the Devil to stay away from her and calls him sick. The Devil jokes that he thought they had chemistry in their kiss. Kayla asks what he wants. The Devil says he wants so many things. Kayla questions why he would pretend to be Steve. The Devil says she can figure that out. Kayla asks what he’s done to Steve. The Devil says he hasn’t done anything to Steve because it’s Kayla that he’s after.

Brady questions Belle saying Marlena would have killed John, Shawn, and Ben. Belle doesn’t want to think about that as it was terrifying to see her going crazy on the people she loves. Brady encourages that it’s not Marlena. Belle just can’t believe this is happening again as they heard the stories. Brady says John must be a wreck. Belle says that’s why she’s here to see him since she knows the one thing that will help John sleep easier is getting Brady out. Brady wants to know how Melinda could have him arrested when all the evidence is circumstantial. Belle reveals that Melinda was able to pull off something that changed everything. Brady asks if they found Philip’s body. Belle says no but in the eyes of the law, Philip Kiriakis is dead.

John questions Chloe revealing that Kate and Victor had Philip declared legally dead. John can understand Kate being out for blood but questions why Victor would agree. Chloe says she can’t understand anything Victor does. John argues that Victor had to know Melinda would use that against Brady and asks what is the matter with him. Chloe tries to encourage John to stay calm. John asks how to do that when his son was just arrested for murder and his wife is running around with the Devil in her.

Kate tells Philip that she’s had it with his cryptic riddles and asks how he got Brady from the Pub without anyone seeing him. Philip takes that as she is interested in his story. Philip explains that once he took Brady down, it was just a matter of dragging him in to the bushes. Kate comments on Philip being proud of himself. Philip says he’s just getting to the good part. Philip reveals that he took Brady’s credit card from his wallet and charged a bunch of shots from the Pub to his name. Kate remembers the police said Brady had three times the amount of legal alcohol in his system and asks how he managed that if Philip bought the alcohol. Philip says that was the easy part as he couldn’t exactly pour the liquor down his throat, so he injected it right in to his system. Kate worries that he could’ve killed Brady. Philip declares that was a risk he was willing to take.

Xander questions Rex saying he and Sarah have not been together since he left. Rex asks what he’s not getting and confirms that he and Sarah were never together. Xander says it doesn’t make any sense. Gwen wants to go but Xander insists. Rex tells Xander that it’s been special reconnecting about how Sarah dumped them both but they both have to go. Rex tells Gwen it was a pleasure to meet her and tells them to enjoy their trip as he then walks away. Gwen tries to leave but Xander calls out to Rex, questioning where the hell Sarah is if she’s not with him.

Brady tells Belle that he’s not surprised that Victor sold him out. Belle is sure Kate was the driving force. Brady says that explains why Melinda felt she had enough to arrest him. Belle says Melinda will do anything for a conviction. Brady asks how they avoid having him as another notch on her belt. Belle wants to go through the facts again. Belle states that the very last thing Brady remembers is picking up lunch for John at the Pub. Brady confirms he got a phone call and then it’s blank. Brady adds that he started to feel like he was regaining memories at the river but then Melinda showed up and arrested him. Brady says it was sketchy and just voices. Belle doesn’t think that will help. Brady wishes he had more to offer. Belle says they really need something concrete to help discredit all the circumstantial evidence they have. Brady guesses they would need an eye witness outside the Pub. Belle suggests maybe they do. Brady asks who since no one was there. Belle points out that the Pub has a security camera out front so maybe it caught what happened to him after he blacked out.

Kate questions if Philip didn’t care if he killed Brady. Philip says he wasn’t trying to kill him but he had to inject him with booze so he’d be drunk enough to start sending awful threatening text messages. Philip reveals he took Brady’s phone to send the texts to himself, making Brady sound like a murderous psycho who would stab his own uncle. Kate says she’s almost afraid to ask what he did next. Philip responds that he stuffed Brady in the trunk of his car and drove him to where he and Chloe planted their tree which he calls a joke now. Philip argues that Chloe was leading him on the whole time, so he left Brady’s watch there for her to find. Kate asks about him saying Brady destroyed their tree. Philip admits it wasn’t easy to make Chloe believe that. Kate realizes that Philip destroyed the tree himself, not Brady. Philip confirms that as he remarks that she knows him so well.

John tells Chloe that he appreciates everyone trying to take care of him but he just needs his family to be safe. Chloe says she can’t help him with Marlena but she can try to convince Kate to withdraw her request. John reminds her that Kate hates her guts. Chloe says the feeling is mutual but they both care about Philip and want to see whoever did this brought to justice. John asks if Chloe think there is no possibility that Brady might have done it. Chloe admits that in her heart, she thinks Brady is innocent. John says he does too and he just wanted to hear Chloe say it. Chloe is not sure she can convince Kate but she will try. John says Brady is lucky to have Chloe in his corner. Chloe cries that Brady has been there for her so many times that she owes it to him and Philip. Chloe says she will pray for John and wishes him luck with Marlena. John says he will call Steve for an update. John thanks Chloe for stopping by as she then exits. John calls Steve but it goes to voicemail. John decides he better try Kayla again.

Kayla questions why the Devil is here and what he wants with her. The Devil says ever since coming back to Salem, Kayla has been a thorn in his side along with Steve, Shawn, and Belle. Kayla argues that Belle loves Marlena with all her heart. The Devil remarks that he should’ve killed them when he figured they were trying to challenge his plans. Kayla argues that John defeated him before and will do it again. The Devil argues that John is not as strong as he used to be, while he has become so much stronger. Kayla says John is not alone in the fight as she won’t allow him to kill the people she loves. The Devil responds that he’s not going to kill anybody yet but he is going to put Shawn and Belle through a fate worse than death and Kayla will be the key to helping him do that. Kayla refuses to do anything to help him. Kayla’s phone rings but the Devil uses his power to have the phone tossed across the room. The Devil warns that now she’s really made him angry.

Kate can’t believe Philip would go this far to punish Brady. Philip says like mother, like son which Kate questions. Philip asks if he should call Vivian to ask her how far Kate has gone for vengeance. Kate calls Vivian a monster. Philip brings up Jake and Gabi and how Kate pretended to be blind to punish them. Kate says it’s not the same because she caused Jake to lose his job at DiMera, she didn’t frame a family member for murder by drugging them. Philip asks why they always take everyone else’s side. Philip questions if he made a mistake in trusting her. Kate says no and that it’s okay. Kate tells him to just finish his story. Philip continues explaining how he dragged Brady to the river side after Chloe left, then he took out the knife and cut his own hand with it as that was the only way to get Chloe and the police to believe that Brady murdered him. Philip adds that he smeared the blood all over the knife and Brady then carefully tracked blood down to the river and threw his prosthetic leg in to the middle of the river. Philip reveals he kept his old one when he got his replacement a few years ago which he calls pretty brilliant.

Belle goes to the Brady Pub and is surprised to find Rex. Belle tells him that she’s sorry about everything with Philip. Rex hears Belle is defending Brady which she confirms. Belle says she came to talk to Roman about checking the security footage from the night Philip disappeared. Rex informs her that Roman isn’t here. Belle asks if Rex could help her find it. Rex brings up that Philip is his brother while Belle is defending the guy who might have killed him. Belle assures that Brady didn’t kill anyone and it’s because Philip is Rex’s brother that he should want to help find out what happened to him.

Xander tells Gwen that everything he thought he knew about why Sarah left is a lie. Gwen supposes in the end, Sarah decided she wanted to be on her own. Xander gets why she would lie to him but questions why she would text Maggie that she was with Rex at Doctors Without Borders and that they were happy. Gwen asks if he’s sure that Maggie wasn’t just playing along to protect Sarah. Xander assures that Maggie believed Sarah was with Rex, just like he did. Gwen is sure there’s a logical explanation. Xander feels like he has to go talk to Maggie. Gwen doesn’t think they should worry her. Xander argues that Maggie’s daughter has been lying about where she is so something could be really wrong. Gwen says they don’t know that but if they don’t get to the airport, they won’t make it to London in time for the holidays. Xander declares they can’t possibly leave now as he has to find Sarah and talk to her directly. Xander states that Sarah lied to him about where she’s been and where she went, so he has to find out why.

Brady tries to remember what happened and recalls telling Philip to get his hands off of him. Belle comes back in to the room. Brady asks if she talked to Roman. Belle reveals that Roman wasn’t there so Rex tracked down the security footage, but someone erased it.

Kate tells Philip that she can’t wrap her head around the fact that Philip did all of this because of Chloe. Philip argues that he loved Chloe and she said she loved him too but they made a fool out of him. Philip adds that even Kate said she thought Chloe and Brady were sleeping together. Kate says she said that in hopes that he would break up with her, not do something crazy like this. Philip complains that Chloe lied to him over and over again. Philip says he watched them walk in to the Salem Inn together and then overheard them talking about having sex in the Basic Black board room. Philip thinks back to listening in on that conversation, which was about Rafe and Nicole, and tells Kate that Chloe made Brady promise not to tell anyone about their secret sex on the conference table which he calls humiliating. Kate says she never said he shouldn’t feel betrayed. Philip asks if they should just get to walk away from this. Philip argues that they are getting exactly what the deserve and they will never know that he’s behind it. Kate asks if Philip plans to stay dead forever. Philip says for now. Kate doesn’t think she can keep a secret like that. Philip argues that she can. Kate feels Victor deserves to know he’s alive. Philip says to hell with Victor since he told Chloe that he’s dead to him. Kate argues that Victor always says things like that. Kate reminds Philip of how many people love him and are mourning his death now. Chloe then knocks on the door, asking if Kate is inside as she needs to talk to her. Philip tells Kate not to answer the door.

John calls Kayla and leaves another message, saying he’s getting kind of worried as he’s trying to track Steve down for an update on Marlena. John asks her to call him back when she gets the message.

Kayla is knocked out on the floor of her office with blood on her head as her phone lies nearby and a chair is knocked over.

Devil Marlena has stolen Kayla’s key card and uses it to enter the Coma Unit of the hospital where Jan Spears lies in a coma. The Devil goes to Jan and declares that it’s time to wake up.

Update written by Joseph

Eli and Lani are at the police station. Eli finishes a phone call and tells Lani that the divers have been searching the river all day but there’s still no sign of Philip other than his prosthetic leg. Lani questions how this can be happening. Melinda arrives and mocks them sitting and chatting. Eli informs her that he just spoke to the dive team and there’s no further evidence of Philip at the site. Melinda suggests Eli and Lani do their job and arrest Brady but they both say no.

Chloe is at the Basic Black office on the phone with her mom. Chloe says Philip hasn’t been found and there’s been no updates since discovering his leg in the water. Chloe says it’s hard not to assume the worst about Brady but they don’t know anything for sure. Chloe says she has to get back to work and she’ll keep her posted. Chloe hangs up as Brady then enters the office.

Roman, Kate, and Rex sit together in the town square. Roman and Rex encourage Kate to eat but she’s not hungry. Kate responds that she’ll be fine once they find Philip and she knows he’s okay. Rex assures they will know that soon but in the meantime, they are here and are going to get through this together. Kate says she knows and tells Rex how much it means to her to have him in Salem.

Gwen paces in her and Xander’s room at the Salem Inn, complaining about Rex being back in town. Gwen questions how long Xander takes to get the newspaper and why he can’t read it on a tablet like everyone else because she doesn’t want Xander running in to Rex and finding out that Sarah is not with him. Gwen hopes Xander didn’t go to the Brady Pub. Gwen looks out the window and sees Rex in the town square. Gwen questions how the hell he is right downstairs as Xander enters the room with his newspaper and asks who is downstairs.

Victor sits at the Kiriakis Mansion with a framed photo of Philip. Maggie joins him and informs him that cook is making all his favorites for dinner. Maggie says she knows how hard this is for Victor. Victor worries about losing Philip. Maggie encourages him not to think that way and to have hope. Victor responds that Philip can’t be dead as he has to see him again and tell him how sorry he is for the way he treated him.

Kate swears she could kill Brady and mentions telling Brady to his face that if Philip is dead, then Brady is dead too. Roman questions when she threatened Brady since he thought she wanted to be alone. Kate reveals that she lied and went to the hospital this morning to confront Brady. Rex knows Kate is upset but reminds her there is no proof that Brady did anything to Philip. Kate feels there’s enough proof for her. Kate says if she wants to be crazy with worry then she will be. Rex apologizes. Kate cries that she’s sorry but Philip has always been so hard on himself and Victor always made him feel like a huge disappointment. Kate worries that she added to that by being critical of Philip and now she can only hope that Philip knows how much she loves him. Roman assures that he knows. Kate says they will find Philip safe and sound and he will come back to them.

Xander asks Gwen how could who be downstairs. Gwen claims she means the guy at the coffee cart down there and that he whistles at her and told her last week that she has a nice ass. Xander wants to go sort him out but Gwen warns him not to get in trouble with the law. Xander says he’ll just set him straight about making comments about his girl. Gwen asks him to just forget it. Xander notes that she’s really upset about this. Gwen says they finally have a chance for things to be really good between them so she doesn’t want to mess it up as she doesn’t want anyone to take him away from her. Xander assures that no one is taking him anywhere as he’s exactly where he wants to be. Xander and Gwen kiss. Xander then suggests they go out to eat.

Chloe questions Brady not being in the hospital. Brady informs her that he was discharged an hour ago. Chloe questions him deciding to come to work. Brady figured it was the only way he could see her since she’s not taking his calls. Chloe apologizes for ignoring his call as she went to the police station and ran in to Kate, who totally went off on her and told her that whatever happens to Philip is her fault because she pit he and Brady against each other. Brady assures that’s not true and that Kate is just angry and upset. Chloe asks how Brady is doing with all of this. Brady tells Chloe that he needs to make a confession which is why he needed to talk to her. Brady says it has to do with something that Belle found out this morning about his credit card as apparently the night Chloe found him, he had bought six shots of whiskey.

Melinda questions if Eli and Lani are refusing a direct order. Eli argues that they report to Rafe. Lani says they have no proof that Philip is dead so they have no probable cause to arrest Brady. Melinda says it’s just a matter of time before the dive team finds Philip’s body and since Brady was just released from the hospital, they need to make their move before he tries to flee the jurisdiction. Eli says they can’t without hard evidence. Melinda brings up the prosthetic leg. Lani says that doesn’t mean Philip was murdered. Melinda remarks that she should’ve known they wouldn’t cooperate and says she’s just not surprised since Lani is Kristen’s BFF. Eli argues that Lani is just following protocol. Melinda says she wasn’t concerned with protocol when she tried to help Kristen escape last year. Melinda suggests maybe Lani had something to do with Kristen’s escape this time too. Eli says they are going by the book. Melinda orders he check in with the divers to see if they found any new evidence. Eli reminds her that he just did but Melinda tells him to speak to them again unless he’s no longer in the business of solving cases. Eli and Lani exit while Melinda pulls out her phone.

Kate doesn’t understand why Brady isn’t charged with suspicion of murder. Roman says it doesn’t work that way. Kate gets a call from Melinda and asks if it’s about Philip. Melinda says she has nothing new to report but she has something to discuss with her so she asks Kate to come to the police station. Kate says she will see her soon and hangs up. Rex asks if there is news about Philip. Kate says no but she wants to talk about the case so she has to go. Roman offers to take her but Kate says she can go alone. Roman tells Kate to call if she needs them. Kate hugs Roman and Rex as she then walks away.

Victor tells Maggie that he’s done sitting around and pulls out his phone, suggesting if he calls Rafe and lights a fire under Rafe’s ass then maybe they’ll get some answers. Before Victor can make the call, he gets a call from Melinda. Victor hopes she has news but she does not. Melinda says if he can come to the station, she thinks she can make some progress on the case. Victor says he’ll be right there and hangs up. Victor tells Maggie that Melinda doesn’t have any news but she has a plan so it could be a start. Maggie says she will go with him but Victor asks her to let him handle this alone. Victor asks Maggie to go to the church to say a prayer for Philip instead which she agrees to do.

Gwen questions Xander wanting to go out and says it’s a bit early for dinner. Gwen suggests ordering room service instead. Xander complains about being holed up in the room all day so he wants to go out. Gwen tries to insist on staying in but Xander wants to go out. Gwen says she’s not hungry. Xander feels she might be after a walk and says he wants fish and chips from the Pub. Gwen then takes off her shirt to convince him to stay as they then kiss on to the bed. After making love, Xander says that definitely took his mind off his appetite. Xander calls her beautiful and wonderful as he kisses her and says he can’t get enough of her. Xander then gets out of bed and invites her to join him in the shower which she accepts. Xander tells her not to worry as she’s given him reason to never want to leave the room again. Xander then heads to the shower. Gwen checks the window and hopes that Rex will hurry up and leave. Gwen remarks that Rex can’t stay in town forever or she can’t keep Xander locked in the room forever either. Gwen worries that if Xander runs in to Rex, he will find out that Sarah didn’t go away with him and then he’ll find out that Sarah is on a deserted island and will go off to find her. Gwen declares that she won’t let that happen as she can’t lose Xander, so she will just have to find a way to make sure he never finds out the truth.

Rex tells Roman that he didn’t want to say it in front of Kate, but it doesn’t look good for Philip. Roman has another theory and says Philip has always been one to go his own way, so whatever happened with he, Chloe, and Brady, he’s also dealing with Victor firing him from Titan so he’s thinking that had to be a huge blow. Roman suggests Philip figured a way to disappear for awhile, bide his time, clear his head, and figure things out. Rex suggests Philip fell in to the river after Brady attacked him and he got swept away by the current. Roman says that’s certainly possible but he’s not going there yet. Rex admires his faith and wishes he had it. Rex just think it’s doubtful that Philip will be found alive.

Chloe questions Brady drinking six shots on the night that Philip disappeared. Brady clarifies that he bought them as Belle checked his credit report but he doesn’t remember buying them or drinking them. Brady knows it doesn’t mean he didn’t do it and that she has her doubts about his behavior. Brady talks about Chloe seeing him at his worst and that’s why he doesn’t want a thing from her. Brady adds that he has one more thing to tell her.

Kate joins Victor in the interrogation room at the police station. Victor guesses she got a call from Melinda too. Kate asks if Melinda told him what’s going on. Victor says just that it had to do with Philip’s case. Melinda then walks in and says she’s glad they are both there. Kate asks if she found Philip’s body. Melinda repeats there is no new evidence since the prosthetic leg and she’s obviously not able to arrest someone for murder yet, but if she has proof of death, the man responsible could be handcuffed within the hour. Melinda says that’s why she needs them both to sign this as she presents a folder.

Xander gets out of the shower and questions Gwen not joining him. Gwen apologizes and says she got distracted. Xander asks by what. Gwen asks what he thinks about getting out of Salem for a while. Xander says he’d love to but reminds her of their lack of funds. Gwen reveals that she found them a free place to stay in London as she has a friend there who has an amazing flat with a guest room. Gwen says she has a lot of miles about to expires so she can get two round trip tickets. Xander says that definitely solves their funds issue but asks if she really wants to go to London right now. Gwen insists that London is lovely and magical this time of year. Xander asks how he could possibly say no as they kiss.

Victor questions Melinda as to what this is. Melinda explains that as Philip’s next of kin, they have the right to have him declared legally dead. Kate points out that she just said they haven’t found his body. Melinda says that’s true and she knows they both have every hope that Philip will be found alive, the truth is that with every minute, that hope diminishes and the case gets colder so the murderer could get away. Melinda adds that by declaring Philip dead, they give her the power to prosecute the man responsible. Victor guesses she believes that to be Brady. Melinda notes that every bit of evidence points to him. Melinda adds that without a body, it’s not enough to make an arrest which is why she urges them to sign the document because as soon as they declare Philip dead, she can arrest the man who killed him and they can have the justice they deserve.

Brady admits to Chloe that about a week ago, he went to a bar and ordered a drink but he just looked at it and then called Maggie to make sure he didn’t drink it and they went to a meeting which is when he found out John was in the hospital. Chloe asks what made him so upset that he felt like he needed a drink. Brady admits it was Chloe and his feelings for her that he hasn’t been able to act on because she’s been with Philip. Brady mentions that he even told Maggie that he’d love if Philip was out of the way but he didn’t mean it like that. Brady says he’s beginning to wonder as he could never imagine taking someone’s life but he doesn’t know. Brady questions if he saw Chloe and went off the deep end. Brady doesn’t even know what he did anymore. Chloe tells him not to torture himself over something he can’t even remember. Brady thinks there’s a way he can remember and decides he needs to go back down to the river. Chloe questions him wanting to do that and calls it a terrible idea, reminding him that Belle agrees. Brady doesn’t care since Philip is missing, could be dead, and he may have had something to do with it. Brady says getting his memory back is the only way to find out, so that means he has to go back to the river and hope that something makes him remember what happened that night. Brady declares he’s going. Chloe responds that he’s not going alone. Brady doesn’t want her in the middle of this. Chloe says she already is, so she’s going too. Brady asks even if she thinks he might be guilty. Chloe agrees there might be something at the river that will tell them what happened that night. Brady and Chloe then exit the office together.

Melinda tells Victor and Kate that this is a big emotional decision, so she will give them a moment to discuss it. Kate thanks her as Melinda then exits the room. Kate says this is finally some action and asks Victor what he’s waiting for. Victor reminds her that Melinda said to take a moment to discuss. Kate questions what there is to discuss since they want her to go after the person that hurt their son. Victor says he’s just not ready to accept the fact that his son is dead. Kate cries that she’s been trying to convince herself that Philip is still alive and her heart is broken but they have to accept the horrible reality that Philip is probably at the bottom of the river and Brady is the one who put him there. Kate wants to see Brady behind bars now. Kate guesses Victor is hesitant because Brady is his grandson. Kate reminds Victor of how many times Brady turned his back on him and how Brady was willing to let Kristen get away with nearly killing him while now Victor is willing to let Brady get away with murdering their son. Kate argues that Brady doesn’t deserve Victor’s loyalty, Philip does. Kate tells Victor to stop regretting what he can’t change and sign the paper.

Melinda returns to Eli and Lani. Lani confirms they talked to the dive team and they still haven’t found anything else. Eli says they have other leads to follow. Melinda asks if any are as promising as Brady and guesses there’s not. Lani asks if there is any new information. Melinda suggests they stick around because depending on what’s happening in the interrogation room, she might have something for them to do.

Rex tells Roman that no one understands Kate better than Roman does, which is why he’s so happy they are back together again, especially now. Roman says that Rex is there for Kate too and they are grateful for that. Roman adds that they are both very glad to have him home. Roman asks if he wants more coffee but Rex has had enough. Roman suggests they go back to the Pub and wait for Kate there with bowls of chowder. Rex says that sounds good but he wants to know what Melinda is about to tell Kate. Roman and Rex then walk off together.

Gwen watches out the window as Xander finishes packing their bags. Gwen says if they leave now, they’ll make it just in time for their flight. Gwen tells Xander that the coffee guy is gone now so there is nothing to wait for. Xander and Gwen then exit the room together with their bags packed.

Brady and Chloe go to the river. Chloe shows Brady where she found him, covered in blood with the knife nearby. Chloe questions him not remembering her finding him. Brady confirms he doesn’t or why he came to the river or what happened when he got there. Brady then recalls saying Philip’s name. Chloe asks him what’s going on and if he’s remembering something.

Rex forgot his phone in the town square and goes back to retrieve it right as Xander and Gwen are walking through the square, so Rex ends up coming face to face with Xander and Gwen.

Maggie greets Victor as he’s returned home. Maggie notes he got back sooner than she thought. Maggie confirms that she said the rosary twice for Philip. Victor responds that maybe she should’ve said one for him as well. Maggie asks him what happened at the police station.

Kate goes to the Brady Pub, where Roman asks what happened with Melinda. Kate explains that she wanted her and Victor to have Philip declared legally dead as it was the only way she could have Brady arrested for Philip’s murder. Kate tells Roman that Victor was his usual stubborn self.

Victor explains to Maggie that Kate wanted him to sign the papers so that Melinda could use it to go after Brady. Victor wants justice for his son, but that would be signing away his grandson’s life to get it.

Roman asks Kate if Victor signed the paper or not.

Maggie asks Victor what he did. Victor reveals that he signed the paper.

Chloe asks Brady if he remembers something. Brady recalls telling Philip to get his hands off of him. Brady tells Chloe that it’s fuzzy but it’s right there. Melinda interrupts with Eli and questions if Brady is returning to the scene of the crime. Chloe asks what’s going on here. Melinda calls it justice as she informs Brady that he’s under arrest for the murder of Philip Kiriakis. Chloe argues that she can’t do that. Melinda says she can. Eli then arrests Brady and reads him his rights.

Roman walks Kate to her room. Kate says she doesn’t want to believe that Philip is dead, but she had to do it to move the investigation forward. Roman understands she did what she thought was right. Kate doesn’t feel so helpless anymore. Roman suggests she take a break and offers to bring her some food. Kate says she just wants to be alone. Roman says she knows where he is if she needs him as he then walks away. Kate heads on in to her room and is shocked to find Philip sitting inside.

Ben questions Shawn saying that Marlena is possessed by the Devil for a second time. Devil Marlena tells Ben not to listen to Shawn and that John has obviously gotten to him, but he hasn’t gotten to Ben. Marlena brings up how Clyde treated Ben and his mother and says Ben knows to never trust an abuser. Shawn argues that it’s all lies as John never laid a finger on Marlena but the demon inside her is trying to get him to trust her. Shawn says he loves Marlena and if she told him that John was hitting her, he’d believe her, but this is not her. Marlena argues that he’s just trying to discredit her so no one believes her. Marlena tells Ben that she no longer feels safe here and he needs to find Ciara, so she thinks it’s time for them to get out of here.

Ciara thanks Susan for calling and assures her that she believes her now. Ciara declares that she’s locked all the doors so no one is going to get to her or her baby. There is then a knock at the door and it’s Belle. Ciara promises Susan that she won’t let her in unless she knows for sure it’s Belle. Belle asks if Ciara is okay. Ciara hangs up the phone and asks Belle for the safeword which she acknowledges as “boxtop” so Ciara opens the door. Belle is glad that she’s okay and asks how she knew about Claire’s safeword. Ciara tells her that Shawn told her. Belle says that Shawn just called her but the reception was terrible and all she got was that Ciara was in danger and she needed to come right over. Belle questions what is going on. Ciara informs her that Shawn is on his way to the cabin because Ben is there alone with Marlena.

Shawn tells Ben and Marlena that they aren’t going anywhere. Marlena asks if he’s going to arrest them and victimize the victim. Shawn says he’s going to untie John so he can tell the truth. Marlena asks if Ben will believe someone he barely knows or someone he’s known a long time, who always helped him believe in himself. Ben points out that Shawn is Ciara’s brother. Marlena argues that Shawn doesn’t think he’s good enough for Ciara. Shawn can’t get the gag off from John. Marlena tells Ben not to listen to their lies. Shawn argues that Marlena is just scared of what John will say which is why she locked him in the crypt to die as she wants John out of the way because he knows the truth. Shawn adds that John just wants his wife back. Shawn tries to untie John but notes that the ropes just got tight again. Marlena argues that Shawn wasn’t there and doesn’t know what happened.

Shawn tells Ben that Marlena is using the Devil’s powers right now. Shawn explains how he tried to take Marlena to the police station on Thanksgiving but she broke the handcuffs like they were toys and then threw him across the dinner table, knocking him unconscious. The Devil then remarks that Shawn went down like a ton of bricks.

Rafe asks Nicole why she slapped him. Nicole questions who the hell he thinks he is and points out that they are in the middle of the town square as she calls him an idiot. Nicole complains that Rafe calls her too stupid to know her own feelings and then he grabs her and kisses her to prove his point which makes him a jackass. Rafe admits he was out of line but asks about last night and argues that Nicole acted like she wanted him to kiss her then but EJ interrupted and he found out that she hooked up with EJ. Rafe questions what he’s supposed to think. Nicole argues that she had every right to do that because it’s her life. Rafe apologizes and says he has these feelings and doesn’t know what to do with them. Rafe thinks if Nicole is honest with herself, she has those feelings too. Nicole reminds Rafe that he’s in a relationship with Ava and she won’t hurt her because she has too much self respect. Rafe questions if she means being in a relationship with a man who has feelings for another woman, like EJ. Nicole tells Rafe to just never grab her like that again or she will tell Ava.

Lucas thanks Allie for going to bat for him with Sami as he really appreciates that. Allie says she would be really happy if they got back together. Lucas would love it if she were right but he doesn’t see Sami giving up on EJ that easily. Allie complains that EJ treats her like crap. Lucas agrees but points out that even though he rescued her, she couldn’t wait to get back to EJ like always. Allie points out that this time, she caught him in bed with Nicole. Lucas mentions hearing about that and asks how Allie knew. Allie informs him that she came home and saw Sami ready to scratch Nicole’s eyes out. Lucas feels that proves his point. Lucas says when he first found out about EJ and Nicole, he thought Sami would finally give up on him but then he realized it was just wishful thinking. Lucas says nobody knows Sami better than he does and the fact that EJ and Nicole slept together will just make her more determined to fight for her man.

Belle asks Ciara why Marlena is at the cabin. Ciara informs her that she and Ben took her there because she showed up on Thanksgiving being really frantic. Ciara adds that Marlena told them that John had been knocking her around so she needed a safe place to hide. Belle argues that John would never lay a hand on Marlena. Ciara says they had no idea what was going on with Marlena but they do now as Shawn told her that she’s possessed by the Devil. Belle is glad Shawn told her. Ciara cries that it’s really freaking her out. Ciara talks about having a really hard time believing John would hurt Marlena but then John showed up pounding on the door and screaming. Belle informs her that Marlena turned Susan in to a cat, so she could turn herself in to John to make her believe her story. Ciara worries that Ben still doesn’t know and she left him alone with her. Belle encourages that Marlena will just try to get Ben to help her. Ciara talks about Marlena getting weird at the cabin and not letting her leave, so she ended up sneaking out without telling them. Belle tells her that she did the right thing. Belle can’t believe that she’s telling her escaping her mom is the right thing. Belle says instead of celebrating Thanksgiving, they are finding out Marlena is possessed again. Belle mentions an APB out but doesn’t know what good that’s going to do. Ciara is sorry that Shawn went alone and says she tried to go with him but Shawn wouldn’t let her. Belle knows Shawn would want her to be safe. Ciara informs Belle that Shawn told her the reason that the Devil possessed Marlena is because he wants her baby.

The Devil finally admits to Ben that he’s not Marlena Evans but he’s looking in to the face of evil. The Devil talks about Ben being afraid of passing on his evil to his child. The Devil says that was like music to his ears. Ben questions what the hell he’s talking about. Shawn reveals that the Devil wants Ben and Ciara’s baby. The Devil admits that’s right as he can’t wait for the birth of their child and their baby to be born. Ben recalls Susan telling he and Ciara that their baby was in danger and they just thought she was off her rocker but it was the Devil. Ben brings up Marlena convincing them to have the baby but it was the Devil, which he confirms. Ben realizes the Devil did that because he wants their baby. Shawn asks what is so special about Ben and Ciara’s baby. The Devil responds that this baby will be a perfect combination of Brady goodness and Weston evil, so he can corrupt that child to his black heart’s desire.

Belle realizes this is why Marlena was so excited when she found out Ciara was pregnant. Ciara talks about being terrified and having no idea what to do as she can’t stay locked in here forever. Belle encourages that they know the truth now and they will protect her. Belle tries to call Shawn but it goes straight to voicemail. Ciara mentions there isn’t much service at the cabin. Belle decides she needs to go there in person then but Ciara argues that she can’t.

Allie tells Lucas that if she found her husband in bed with another woman, she’d leave and never look back. Lucas says that’s good but Sami is wired different, especially when it comes to EJ so she blames he and Nicole instead of EJ. Allie calls that stupid and argues that it’s not his fault that Philip gave Kristen’s letter to Nicole. Allie asks if there’s any word on Philip. Lucas confirms he’s still missing. Allie questions Brady having something to do with it. Lucas says he doesn’t know why. Lucas then declares that he was mad at Philip for interfering with his life and now he may never see him again as his brother might be gone forever.

Nicole claims to Ava that Rafe was just telling her about Philip’s disappearance and she thought Ava should know because she and Philip are friends. Ava says they were more business associates but she already knows and it looks bad. Ava adds that working with Philip was a terrible mistake and she assured Rafe that she put that life behind her for good. Nicole states that Rafe chose to stand by her which she thinks is wonderful. Nicole is glad they worked things out. Ava calls Nicole such a good friend and says she doesn’t know what she would do without her.

Sami tells EJ that she’s not giving him a divorce and will fight it with everything she has. EJ asks why. Sami tells him that she still loves him and always will and he loves her even if he’s too stubborn to admit it. EJ clarifies that he stopped loving her the moment she lied to him about Lucas and he’s with Nicole now. Sami calls Nicole a dimestore version of her and asks why he would settle when he can have the real thing. Sami argues that EJ is only with Nicole because he knows it drives her insane. EJ says there are a host of other reasons which Sami questions. EJ then declares that Nicole is better in bed. Sami argues that he did not just say that. EJ says Sami forced the issue and it’s true. Sami calls him a son of a bitch and says Nicole is not hotter than her as she grabs EJ and kisses him.

Ava says she’s surprised to find Rafe and Nicole together because they both said they would stay away from each other. Rafe points out that Ava said she was okay if they saw each other. Ava says she knows but they said they wouldn’t. Nicole says they just ran in to each other in the town square. Ava acknowledges Salem being a small town. Nicole says she’s late for a meeting and walks away. Ava questions Rafe what that was all about.

After Sami’s kiss, EJ says he’s sorry but he doesn’t feel a thing. Sami says he can say whatever he wants because his body is saying something else. Sami argues that she’s still his wife and he’s never getting rid of her. Sami says that’s okay because he doesn’t really want to.

Lucas tells Allie that Philip is missing and possibly dead while Marlena is either losing her grip on reality or she’s really possessed by the Devil. Lucas declares that either way, it’s not the time to be worried about his love life. Allie thinks it’s the perfect time to focus on what makes him happy. Allie says there’s nothing they can do for Philip and Marlena. Lucas says he feels sorry for John because he’s so determined to find Marlena but he can’t do anything if he does. Allie reminds him that John ended this last time so maybe he can do it again. Lucas responds that all they can do is hope and pray.

Belle tells Ciara that they can’t just sit here. Ciara says it’s bad enough that Marlena could hurt Ben or Shawn, but Shawn and Ben can protect themselves while Belle can’t. Belle argues that John keeps saying love is the thing that can conquer evil and she’s Marlena’s daughter so that’s the weapon she has which Shawn and Ben don’t, so it’s time for her to use it. Ciara decides she’s going with her then. Belle says that’s crazy. Ciara argues that she’s the only person the Devil can’t hurt because she’s carrying the baby that he wants. Belle reminds her that she promised Shawn that she would stay here and tells her to stay and lock the doors with no heroics as she has to take care of the baby. Ciara gives in and asks Belle to be careful. Belle orders her to lock the door. Ciara worries that a locked door won’t stop the Devil. Belle tells her to do it anyways as she exits, so Ciara locks the door.

Ben tells the Devil that he will never let him anywhere near Ciara or the baby. The Devil responds that he already has and he has no say in what happens next. Ben says the Devil already said he’s evil so maybe that’s what it takes to get to him. Ben tries to charge but the Devil uses his power to stop him. The Devil then produces a necktie and declares that he always comes prepared. The Devil tosses the necktie around Ben’s neck, choking him. Shawn manages to get the gag off of John, who pleads for Marlena not to let the Devil do it. The Devil then declares that it’s done.

Sami argues that EJ forgave her for shooting him in the head, so her sleeping with Lucas is like a three in their relationship. EJ points out that she did it twice and went back for more. Sami complains about how EJ treated her after she sacrificed so much and spent years helping him become the man he is now. Sami declares that EJ deserved what she did and he knows it. EJ asks why she doesn’t just walk away then and be done with him. Sami admits sometimes she wishes she could but even if she did walk away, she couldn’t stop loving him and she doesn’t want to. Sami argues that she knows EJ doesn’t want her to stop loving him. Nicole then walks in to the room.

Allie tells Lucas that she prays every night for Philip and Marlena and that Sami comes back to him. Lucas had no idea that was so important to her. Allie says she and Sami have their moments but she had a front row seat to how EJ treated her. Allie talks about all Sami did for EJ. Lucas still doesn’t understand how he could treat her so badly. Allie says everything changed when EJ started getting better and it was like nothing she did was right. Allie adds that Sami was alone and miserable so her flipping out on Lucas about Kristen’s letter was ridiculous. Allie brings up Sami getting kidnapped on the day EJ kicked her out of the mansion. Allie knows Sami was reaching by accusing Nicole but asks how they know it wasn’t EJ. Lucas asks why EJ would do that after kicking her out of the house. Allie asks if the Wisconsin cops had any leads. Lucas says Sami didn’t bother making a statement but the police said they would look into it. Lucas guesses since Sami wasn’t hurt badly and came back to Salem, they lost interest in the case. Allie argues that they could try again and Sami could get hurt. Lucas says a lot has happened in the last 24 hours so he hasn’t had time to think. Allie declares that whoever ordered this kidnapping needs to get caught and they need to pay.

John tries to get through to Marlena while Shawn tries to remove the tie from around Ben’s neck. The Devil then uses his powers to choke John.

Devil Marlena then prepares to leave the cabin but Belle appears and knocks her out from behind with a rock.

Rafe asks Ava what she means. Ava says that Nicole was pretty upset when she showed up and she doesn’t believe it was about Philip. Rafe informs Ava that Nicole is back with EJ and he told her how he felt about that and him but she didn’t want to hear it. Ava questions what’s wrong with Nicole being with EJ. Rafe reminds Ava about their history. Ava argues that was years ago and they’ve both been through a lot so maybe they are both older and wiser. Rafe argues that EJ will be a disaster for Nicole but Ava thinks they seem like a great couple. Rafe asks if Ava has any idea the things that EJ has done. Ava asks how much Rafe knows about what she has done. Ava says that Rafe believes people can change but questions if he does or if he’s just telling her what he thinks she wants to hear.

EJ tells Nicole that he’s so glad she showed up. Sami says now EJ doesn’t have to admit that he’s still in love with her. Nicole says Sami can keep telling herself that. EJ remarks that Sami lives in a world of her own. Sami says EJ can’t wait to get back to that world. EJ says he’ll draw up new divorce papers but Sami says she’ll throw those in the trash too. Sami then walks out of the mansion.

Belle says she’s sorry as she loves her mom. Belle enters the cabin and checks on John. Belle is sorry for knocking Marlena out but she didn’t know what else to do. Belle thought telling her that she loved her would get to her. John encourages that she will but Devil Marlena suddenly escapes. Ben says she got away and he knows where she’s headed.

Ciara removes the pendant that Devil Marlena had given her, saying it would keep her and her baby safe. Ciara cries to her baby that she’s so sorry this is happening but assures her baby will be born perfect and she will protect the baby with her entire life.

Ben declares that Marlena is after Ciara so he has to get there first. Ben rushes out of the cabin. Belle questions if things can get any worse. Shawn worries about Marlena being on the loose again.

Rafe tells Ava that he does think people can change and brings up Gabi. Ava remarks on how Gabi treats her so Rafe admits that was a bad example. Ava asks if he’s having second thoughts about them. Rafe questions why she’s even asking that. Ava then has a flashback thought revealing that she saw Rafe and Nicole kissing earlier. Ava then tells Rafe that there’s no reason and it just occurred to her.

Nicole asks EJ about drawing up new divorce papers and if that’s why Sami has been going so crazy. EJ asks what she means. Nicole explains that Sami showed up at her apartment with fire in her eyes, ready to rip her limb from limb then Allie showed up and Sami didn’t care. EJ informs Nicole that Sami is insisting that there’s still a chance between them. Nicole says that doesn’t surprise her. EJ assures that Sami is wasting her time as he’s found the woman he wants and the one that is perfect for him right now. Nicole says he was just thinking the same thing as they hug. EJ then looks over and sees his wedding ring on his desk.

Sami goes back to see Allie. Allie tells her that Nicole’s not there if she came back for round 2. Sami says it’s not that and mentions Belle leaving her a message but she could only understand like two words. Sami thinks it was about Marlena and asks if she’s heard anything. Allie says no and invites Sami in. Sami comes inside and sees Lucas so she asks what he’s doing there. Lucas responds that he’s visiting his daughter and grandson, joking that he is allowed to do that. Allie asks if Sami went to see EJ. Sami confirms she did. Sami informs them that she tore up the divorce papers and she’s never going to sign them. Sami is sorry that Lucas doesn’t want to hear that but she’s not giving up on EJ. Lucas says that’s fine but assures that he’s not giving up on her either.

Ben returns home. Ciara raises a bat as she wants to make sure it’s him. Ben swears he wouldn’t hurt her and loves her so much. Ciara drops the bat and they hug. Ben is thankful that she’s okay. Ben is glad she ran away because he knows everything now and he should’ve listened to her from the beginning. Ciara asks how he got away and if Shawn is okay. Ben confirms that he is as well as Belle and John. Ben adds that John got there right after Ciara left. Ben says he got away because Devil Marlena took off, so he thought she was heading straight here. Ciara cries that she’s really happy that Ben got there first. Ben doesn’t know how to tell her but Ciara informs him that Shawn already told her that the Devil wants their baby. Ben says at least they are together now and promises to not let anything happen to her or their baby as they hug.

Belle and Shawn help John up. Belle asks if he’s okay after just getting out of the hospital. John says he’s fine. Shawn tells Belle that if she didn’t show up when she did, Marlena might have finished them all off. Shawn asks what made John show up here. John thought this was the most logical place to start looking and he thought he could get through to Marlena but the Devil shut him up in a hurry. Shawn worries that they’ve lost her while Belle wonders how they will ever stop her.

Devil Marlena stands outside in the park. The Devil declares that he should’ve dealt with Belle a long time ago and now it’s time that Belle and Shawn pay a heavy price. The Devil thinks he knows exactly how to make that happen…
