Chanel argues that she’s seen Paulina put away a whole key lime pie after a bad day. Paulina argues that a Florida lime pie is completely different as it doesn’t have graham cracker crust which she hates. Abe points out that he also made a pecan pie but Paulina hates that too and says Tamara would be all over that. Paulina feels bad that Abe worked so hard making pies that she doesn’t like. Paulina says it’s okay as she can just skip dessert. Paulina goes to her room while Chanel says “oops”.

Rafe questions EJ and Nicole actually being on a date. EJ asks why that’s so difficult to understand since they were married twice. Rafe says that’s his point as he thought Nicole figured EJ out. EJ says that the third time is the charm. Nicole stops EJ and says it’s just a date, marriage is not on the table and they are just catching up. EJ assumes that settles this. Rafe jokes that he would invite them to join them but he might say yes. Ava tells them to enjoy their dinner as she and Rafe walk away.

Chanel apologizes to Abe as she had no idea that there was a Florida lime pie. Abe tells her not to worry and says they just won’t serve dessert. Chanel worries about everything having to be perfect. Abe says they will still have a delicious meal. Chanel declares this one is on her, so she is getting him a Florida lime pie.

Lani feels terrible for them both. Lani is sorry she wasn’t there for him. Eli says it’s okay as she’s here now and asks about shopping with Paulina. Lani says they talked about the Paris trip that didn’t happen. Eli asks if she explained why she ghosted her like that. Lani tells him there was no business trip and it was all her mother, who talked Paulina out of taking her to Paris because she didn’t want her spoiling her. Eli questions Tamara letting Paulina think she dumped her without telling her that she cancelled it. Lani guesses Paulina didn’t want her to turn against her mom. Eli remarks that it sounds like there is more to the story than what Paulina is telling her..

Johnny asks if Abigail is going to do it. Chad tells him that she’s on the fence. Abigail thinks it sounds like fun. Chad think she’s nervous because she’s never professionally acted before. Johnny argues that he doesn’t want professionally as he wants it to feel like it’s happening in real time to real people. Johnny insists that Abigail would be great as Marlena. Abigail talks about having experience with mental illness so she knows what it’s like to have something take over your mind. Chad tells Abigail that if she wants to do this, he backs her 100%. Abigail thanks him and then tells Johnny that she would be honored to play Marlena. Johnny exclaims that the movie is finally coming together and that now all he needs is one more investor. Johnny asks if Chad has given ti any more thought. Chad worries that EJ will hate his guts if he funds his movie. Johnny asks if Chad is going to let EJ tell him what to do.

Nicole asks if EJ really had to push Rafe’s buttons. EJ argues that Rafe started it and questions why they are even talking about Rafe or why Rafe cares who he is seeing when he’s with Ava. Rafe and Ava sit at a table nearby. Rafe can’t believe Nicole is on a date with EJ, when he’s treated her like trash. Ava points out that she is a living proof that people do change.

Eli asks Lani what they should do now that their babies are asleep. Lani offers to show him what she bought today but that’s not what Eli had in mind. Lani then reveals lingerie that she bought so Eli says he stands corrected as they kiss. They start to undress until there’s a knock at the door. Eli wants to ignore it but Lani says they won’t give up and it will wake the kids up. Eli then answers the door to see Chanel. Chanel jokes that she’s sorry to interrupt but she brought them a pecan pie. Eli thanks her and tries to send her away but Chanel says she needs to borrow their kitchen to bake a pie. Eli says he doesn’t understand. Chanel responds that he would if he knew Paulina better.

Abe and Paulina sit together to have dinner. Paulina says it was so sweet of him to make dinner. Abe admits he couldn’t have done it without a little help from her mother and Chanel. Paulina asks where Chanel went. Abe says she said she had an errand. Paulina guesses that she went to see Johnny. Abe guesses that’s Johnny DiMera, who was his late wife’s nephew. Paulina praises Johnny and hopes he’s good enough for Chanel. Abe notes that he was a great little kid but if he takes after either of his parents, Chanel will have her hands full. Abe adds that Chanel can take care of herself which she gets from Paulina. Abe then toasts to Paulina.

Chad tells Johnny that he only works for DiMera because Tony insisted, but if he pisses of EJ and he tries another power grab, then he’s out on his ass. Johnny questions that being the only thing keeping him from investing. Johnny argues that he’s Chad’s favorite nephew and his good luck charm since he was there when Chad met Abigail. Abigail recalls meeting Chad at java cafe and thinking he was Johnny’s father. Chad jokes that he remembers that Johnny said he didn’t like her. Johnny says he was just a kid so he didn’t know that she would be the love of Chad’s life and the star of his movie. Johnny adds that the movie won’t happen if Chad doesn’t invest. Chad calls that emotional blackmail. Johnny notes that EJ made sure he doesn’t have any other family members to hit up. Chad jokes that he either pisses off EJ or deprives Abigail of doing what she wants to do.

EJ asks Nicole to stop mooning over Rafe. Nicole claims she’s looking at the menu but EJ shows that it’s upside down. EJ reminds her that this date was to help put Rafe out of her mind but since it’s not working, they can go back to his place. Nicole questions wasting a $300 bottle of wine. EJ says it won’t go to waste as he gets up and brings the bottle of wine to Rafe and Ava. EJ calls it a lovely and expensive parting gift as he tells them to have a great night. EJ then takes Nicole and they exit Julie’s Place together.

Eli doesn’t get why pie is so important as he and Lani begin helping Chanel. Chanel explains that she thought it would be cool if Abe could present the ring on top of a piece of pie. Chanel wants the night to be perfect as she feels like she screwed it up, so she wants to fix it for her mom. Lani comments on how far her and mom have come since coming to town.

Paulina praises Abe’s dinner. Abe knows she had a long day. Paulina says she had such a nice time with Lani. Paulina brings up Lani talking about planning a trip. Abe admits that he had Lani stalling so he could finish dinner. Abe is blessed to have Lani in his life and he’s grateful to have the rest of their lives to catch up on all the years they lost. Abe calls being Lani’s dad one of the most precious gifts God has ever given to him…

Rafe argues that Ava can’t drink EJ’s wine because he could have drugged it. Ava ignores the warning so Rafe says to suit herself and he’ll have a beer. Ava comments on EJ getting under Rafe’s skin. Rafe complains that EJ is a phony of all the guys that Nicole could have chosen to go out with. Rafe knows that Ava thinks he’s jealous because EJ is out with Nicole. Ava then asks if he is.

Abigail tells Chad that this is between he and Johnny so she can be out of the equation. Abigail adds that she thought it’d be a fun challenge to be in a movie but if it doesn’t happen, she won’t be heartbroken. Chad thinks it might be just what she needs. Abigail doesn’t want to alienate EJ. Johnny brings up that he told EJ that he’s not going to work at DiMera either way, so EJ won’t get his way no matter what happens. Chad decides in that case, he will fund the rest of his movie. Johnny thanks Chad and they hug as EJ then walks in with Nicole. Nicole tells Johnny that it’s good to see him. Johnny asks what she’s doing here. EJ explains that he invited Nicole for dinner and then questions why they were hugging. Chad reveals that he agreed to provide the rest of the funding for Johnny’s movie, shocking EJ.

Abe and Paulina finish their dinner. Paulina can’t believe he did the dishes after cooking all day. Paulina says she’s not used to a man going to so much trouble for her. Abe says it’s his very great pleasure. Paulina tells Abe that she doesn’t want to hurt his feelings but her day shopping did her in, so she asks if he minds if she just goes to bed. Abe asks about dessert. Paulina thought they were skipping it, but if he’s craving some sweets, he can jump in bed with her. Abe stops her and gets down on one knee. Paulina asks what in the world. Abe says it’s not the most original idea, but tough times call for quick decisions. Abe then proposes to Paulina.

Chanel texts Abe that the pie should be able to serve in 15 minutes, so she hopes their dinner is taking a long time. Lani can’t believe Paulina and Abe are getting married. Eli jokes that Lani and Chanel will be stepsisters. Lani and Chanel say they both always wanted a sister. Lani promises to be the best sister she never had. Chanel says that Lani already has been for all that she did for her. Chanel mentions Lani giving her the courage to open up the bakery. Eli asks how that’s going. Chanel says it’s great as she and Allie are making money and having fun doing it. Lani asks if it hasn’t been awkward between them. Chanel assures it hasn’t and adds that she is in to men now. Eli asks who the lucky guy is. Chanel responds that she kept it all in the family, revealing that she is with Allie’s twin brother, which shocks Eli and Lani.

EJ complains that it’s bad enough that Lucas and Roman sided with Johnny but now his own brother. Chad responds that what he does with his money is none of EJ’s business. EJ argues that it becomes his business when he starts funding his son’s idiotic dreams. Johnny tells EJ to stop yelling and asks what’s so wrong about Chad supporting he and Abigail. EJ questions what Abigail has to do with this. Abigail reveals that Johnny asked her to play Marlena in the movie and she said yes. EJ mocks Abigail being in the movie and asks if they have all gone insane. EJ argues that Chad knew exactly how he felt about this and he didn’t even consult him. Chad compares it to EJ trying to install himself as sole CEO without talking to him. EJ asks if this is payback. Johnny tells EJ that the world doesn’t revolve around him. EJ declares that Chad is not giving a dime to Johnny. Chad argues that EJ can’t stop him but EJ says the hell he can’t.

Eli questions Chanel dating Allie’s twin brother. Chanel tells them that his name is Johnny. Lani asks what Allie thinks of this idea. Chanel admits that she didn’t like it all and told her that Johnny was a real player. Chanel says it’s all worked out now. Chanel’s pie finishes so she hopes she’s not too late…

Paulina tells Abe that she knows they talked about this, but she didn’t expect a proposal so soon. Abe says it was supposed to be done with more finesse. Abe then asks Paulina for an answer. Paulina says yes, so Abe puts the ring on her finger. Paulina calls it beautiful as they kiss.

Rafe assures Ava that he’s not jealous, but he’s worried about Nicole because she and EJ have history. Rafe adds that EJ made Nicole’s life completely miserable and threatened her life more than once. Rafe recalls Nicole not wanting EJ to know he was the father of her baby and that he had to pretend to be the father. Ava does not blame him for being concerned but says Nicole is a grown woman with her own decisions so there is nothing they can do about it tonight. Rafe agrees and apologizes again. Rafe wants to forget about EJ and Nicole. Rafe wants to start by getting rid of the wine but Ava stops him and says it’s a very nice wine. Ava is sure EJ didn’t want to share it with them but he had to because Nicole couldn’t have fun while Rafe was there. Ava tells Rafe that he won and the wine is the prize. Rafe jokes that Ava is really good, but he’s still not drinking the wine. Ava pours herself another glass.

EJ asks Chad if he wants to take this outside. Chad says he would love to if that’s what he wants to do. Abigail demands EJ back off. Nicole insists EJ come with her so she takes him out of the room. Johnny tells Chad that he’s really sorry about that and hopes he hasn’t changed his mind about investing in the movie.

Nicole takes EJ outside. EJ complains that his own brother is undermining him with his own son. Nicole encourages him to calm down. Nicole reminds EJ that they are supposed to be on a date so she convinces him to sit with her outside. EJ doesn’t understand why everyone is against him. Nicole says while EJ was fighting for his life, they were going on with theirs, but Chad is not his kid brother anymore, he’s a man with a wife and kids while Johnny is growing up too and he wants to be his own man who makes his own mistakes. EJ remarks that he wasn’t there for so long, so he’s just trying to be a father to his son again. Nicole questions doing that by forcing him to work at DiMera Enterprises. Nicole jokes that Johnny has too much Sami in him to stand for that. Nicole then asks EJ if this is about Sami.

Chad tells Johnny not to worry as nothing could make him back out. Johnny excitedly thanks him and says he has the funding. Johnny gathers his things and hugs Chad as he then goes to work on a final draft of the script. Abigail jokes that Chad made Johnny’s night. Chad credits Abigail for telling EJ to back off. Chad suggests they grab a bottle of champagne, go upstairs, and celebrate being in the movie business together.

Abe toasts to finding love again when he least expected it. Paulina toasts to them and all of the fun they will have together. Chanel then returns home with her homemade Florida lime pie. Paulina says that’s so sweet. Chanel asks Abe to join her in the kitchen to help her serve the pie. Abe tells her that it won’t be necessary. Paulina then shows Chanel the ring. Chanel excitedly congratulates her as they hug. Abe says he’s sorry as he couldn’t wait and had to take his shot before Paulina went to bed. Paulina jokes that she’s wide awake now. Chanel says she’ll get out of the way so they can celebrate but Abe and Paulina want her to stay for champagne and pie.

Eli and Lani eat pie together at home. Lani says it was sweet of Eli to help with the whole pie crisis. Eli was happy to do it but says his only regret was that it interrupted something very important as they then continue kissing.

Ava tells Rafe that even though the night didn’t start out well, it turned out pretty nice. Ava then suggests they get out of Julie’s Place.

EJ tells Nicole that he doesn’t know what Sami has to do with anything. Nicole brings up Sami cheating on him with Lucas and now EJ feels like he’s lost control of his life, so now he’s trying to regain that control by telling Johnny, Chad, and everyone else what to do. Nicole tells EJ that he’s been down this road before. Nicole warns that if he tries to control people he will just push them away. Nicole suggests if EJ backs off a little bit, he won’t end up alone. EJ agrees to take her advice under consideration. EJ then offers to make her dinner himself in return. Nicole questions since when he cooks. EJ reminds her that she told him he makes a mean omelet. EJ then stands up and takes Nicole by the hand.

Chad and Abigail get close. Abigail tells him that the offer is very tempting, but she’s just not quite there yet. Abigail says it’s too important so she doesn’t want to rush it. Chad agrees. Abigail then kisses him on the cheek and says she’ll see him in the morning as she exits the room.

Kayla finds John in Marlena’s office and says she heard that he was looking for her. John adds that he was also looking for Marlena and explains how she was looking for the recording of her session with Doug because she was hazy on what happened before he collapsed and thought it would refresh her memory. Kayla reminds John that the tape is protected under doctor-patient confidentiality. John admits he was tempted to listen to it because he’s concerned about Doug. John informs Kayla that it’s why he was trying to find her because he just came from Doug and Julie and Doug is saying crazy stuff like that Marlena tried to kill him.

Doug looks shocked at Marlena and tries to call for help.

Ava goes to Rafe’s office to surprise him but sees that he looks distracted and questions what he was thinking about.

EJ shows up at the Basic Black office to pick up Nicole and comments on how gorgeous she looks even after a 12 hour work day. Nicole responds that he looks pretty spiffy himself. EJ comments on her teddy bear and questions if that means she’s still pining over Rafe. Nicole assures that she’s not. EJ is glad because the purpose of this date is for them both to move on.

Lani asks Paulina to stay a little longer, claiming that she has something to talk to her about. Paulina then agrees to stay and asks what is on her mind as they sit down at a table in the town square. Lani claims that she’s thinking about surprising Eli with a trip for Christmas. Paulina asks where to. Lani says she’s not sure and they’d have to schedule their time off and worry about the babies. Paulina offers to take the babies. Lani says she doesn’t know where to go, so she wanted to get her advice. Paulina mentions Greece and Italy being two of her favorite countries. Lani thinks Eli would prefer more of a city, so Paulina suggests Paris. Lani mentions that she’s never been. Paulina remembers that’s all because of her.

Chanel questions Abe proposing to her mom. Abe says that’s what he wanted to discuss with her. Abe explains that he and Paulina have gotten very close lately and at this point in their lives, he questions why wait, so he wants to ask her to be his wife. Abe adds that this means he would be Chanel’s stepfather, so he wants to know what she thinks. Chanel calls him the best thing to happen to Paulina in forever, so she knows he will make her happy. Abe says that’s so nice to hear. Abe asks about being her stepfather. Chanel brings up her dad dying when she was really young, so she doesn’t really remember what it was like having a dad, but guesses it will be nice having a stepdad like him. Abe thanks her and guesses it would be wonderful having a stepdaughter like her. Abe asks if this means he has her blessing to marry her mother. Chanel confirms that he definitely does as they hug.

Kayla questions Doug thinking that Marlena tried to kill him. John guesses it’s obvious that Doug is not in his right mind. Kayla gets paged via the call button from Doug’s room so she and John hurry out of Marlena’s office.

Doug gets up from his hospital bed and tells Marlena to stop and leave Julie alone. The Devil warns him that he can barely walk. Doug grabs the tray that Marlena used to knock Julie out and says he won’t let her hurt Julie. Kayla and John then walk in to see them fighting over the tray and question what is going on here.

Rafe claims to Ava that he was just thinking about a work thing, so he asks what brought her by. Ava informs him that Gabi and Jake are in the kitchen at home, so she thought maybe she could take Rafe out to dinner. Rafe asks if she’s asking him out on a date, which she confirms. Ava suggests going to the Brady Pub, pointing out that he has coffee from there.

EJ informs Nicole that the first thing he did after Sami left, was remove everything of hers from the house which he calls cathartic. Nicole assumes there’s a lesson there. EJ states that if Nicole wants to move on from Rafe, getting rid of Duke the teddy bear which he calls a silly reminder, might do the same for her. Nicole says she can’t just give it back to Rafe. EJ asks if that’s because they are avoiding each other. Nicole claims they aren’t, they are just maintaining a certain distance. EJ suggests finding Duke a new home altogether then as he then drops him in to the trash can.

Chanel asks Abe what’s on the menu for tonight. Abe explains that he called her grandmother in Florida to get the recipe for all of Paulina’s favorites. Abe adds that Lani is stalling Paulina while he’s cooking. Chanel sees that he’s making pecan pie and reveals that her grandmother screwed up, because Paulina hates pecan pie.

Paulina talks about knowing going to Paris was Lani’s dream as a little girl and because of her, that trip never happened. Lani tells her it’s okay and she’s sorry to upset her. Paulina says she’s the one who is sorry for breaking her heart when she was eight years old, asking what kind of person does that to a child. Paulina thinks it’s time they talk about what happened back then.

John tells Doug to get back in bed. Kayla checks on Julie on the ground and wakes her up. Julie comes to while Kayla asks if she remembers what happened. Doug tries to answer, but Marlena claims that Julie took a blow to the head from Doug.

Abe doesn’t understand since Olivia said she was sure that pecan pie was Paulina’s favorite. Chanel reveals that Olivia is confused because that’s Tamara’s favorite, while Paulina’s favorite is key lime. Abe guesses he has to make a key lime pie then. Abe says everything has to be perfect and asks if they have any limes. Chanel thinks they do and says she will go check while Abe plans to look up a recipe. Chanel then suggests they make it together and they’ll have it done in 20 minutes. Abe says she is the best and hugs her. Chanel heads to the kitchen while Abe texts Lani.

Lani tells Paulina that it’s alright as it was a really long time ago. Paulina never meant to cause her pain and knows it’s still there, so she wants to clear the air now. Lani gets a text from Abe and then tells Paulina that they can do it another time as she thinks they should both go home since Paulina is tired and she wants to put the kids down with Eli. Paulina pleads with her to let her get this out once and for all so Lani agrees. Paulina talks about all those years ago when she would visit, nothing made Lani smile more than dreaming about Paris. Paulina says she wanted to be part of that dream, so she promised her that summer trip. Lani recalls all of their plans from reading Paulina’s letters. Paulina acknowledges that she broke Lani’s heart by never showing up and never apologizing. Lani understands that she had an important business trip but Paulina reveals that Tamara lied and she let her. Lani questions why they both lied to her. Lani asks for the real reason that Paulina didn’t take her to Paris.

EJ asks Nicole if there’s a problem. Nicole says no and that she doesn’t even know why she held on to Duke the teddy bear that long. Nicole tells EJ that she is hungry. They walk out but Nicole claims that she forgot her phone, runs back inside to remove Duke from the trash can and puts him back on her desk. Nicole then hurries back out and exits with EJ as they head for Julie’s Place.

Kayla questions if Doug attacked Julie. Julie says no. Marlena claims she came to check on Doug but when she walked in, she saw Doug attack Julie with the tray so she grabbed it and that’s when they came in. Doug argues that it’s not what happened. John tells Doug to try to relax. Doug warns Marlena not to touch Julie. John insists she’s just trying to help. Kayla asks if Julie remembers what happened. Julie says she turned to get Doug some water and then something hard hit her and it all went black. Marlena claims that’s when she saw Doug hit Julie over the head. Julie argues that she knows Doug would never do that. Marlena says she knows how hard it is to accept but Doug hasn’t been himself. Doug argues that he is himself while Marlena is not. Doug then tells them that Marlena did it. Marlena questions why she would hit Julie and ask if they need any more proof that Doug is confused. Doug insists that Marlena tried to kill Julie and he has to protect Julie. Marlena says this needs to stop and suggests sedating Doug. Doug argues that he knows who she is and what she did. Kayla agrees with Marlena that it’s for Doug’s own good. Julie pleads with her not to. Kayla tells Doug that she’s sorry. Doug cries that he loves Julie as Kayla sedates him.

EJ and Nicole go to Julie’s Place for their date. EJ pours them his favorite wine and they toast to moving on. Nicole notes it’s also the most expensive wine on the list. EJ says he always enjoyed the finer things in his life and recalls that she does too. Nicole says when it’s affordable. EJ remarks that it’s good that she’s not with Rafe then, as he assumes he is more of a beer and pretzels kind of guy.

Rafe finishes a work call. Ava asks if he’s ready to go to the Brady Pub. Rafe informs her that he actually had breakfast and lunch at the Pub, so he suggests going to Julie’s Place. Rafe adds that Ava could check on her job application there too. Ava says that sounds great but notes that she’s been reconsidering her career goals lately. Rafe brings up her plan to work for Philip. Ava says she’s been putting the word out everywhere to see who is hiring. Rafe suggests she tell him all about it over dinner. Ava doesn’t want to bore him. Rafe says she never could as they kiss. They then exit Rafe’s office together.

Paulina tells Lani that the real reason the trip never happened is because she was being selfish when she made that promise of seeing Paris together. Lani asks how. Paulina says it was all about her wanting to be the one to give Lani her hearts desire and do something special. Paulina claims she cut Tamara out and she had no right as that was unfair. Paulina then thinks back to confessing to Marlena that Abe and Tamara are not Lani’s parents and that she is Lani’s mother. Lani asks Paulina what it is. Paulina responds that she couldn’t take Lani on the trip because Tamara shut her down when she told her about her plan. Lani guesses Tamara thought Paulina was being too extravagant and trying to spoil her. Paulina says Tamara was right in how she raised her. Lani knows her heart was in the right place. Paulina still feels bad for breaking Lani’s heart and wouldn’t blame her if she never forgave her. Lani reminds her that she’s already forgiven her and asks her to never worry about this again. Lani tells Paulina that she loves her so much. Paulina tells her how much this means to her as they hug. Lani then gets another text from Abe, reminding her that all is clear. Paulina guesses Eli wants her home as they hug again.

Abe compliments Chanel’s baking skills as he can’t believe they made a pie that fast. Abe worries that the table is not ready as he needs candles and music. Chanel tells him that she’s on it. Abe feels she’s got to be exhausted but Chanel says she’s in to it now. Chanel tells him to get on the romantic playlist and asks if she can hang around a bit so she can see the reaction on Paulina’s face when she gets there. Abe says there’s nothing he’d like more.

Nicole questions EJ mocking Rafe again and says that defeats the whole purpose of this dinner. EJ agrees that they are putting Rafe and Sami behind them. Rafe and Ava then arrive at Julie’s Place and see Nicole and EJ.

Julie argues that Doug would never hurt her and that it doesn’t make any sense. Julie says she turned away for a second and Doug can barely walk, so she questions how Doug could have leaped up and hit her so hard to knock her out. Kayla brings up when Doug suddenly almost violently grabbed Tripp’s arm when they were checking on him and they were amazed at his strength. Julie argues that Doug doesn’t have dementia and he didn’t do this. Kayla points out that there was no one else in the room. Julie notes except for Marlena…

John and Marlena sit together at the hospital. Marlena tells John that as a professional, she’s trained to be objective, but when it comes to Doug, she finds this heartbreaking. John asks if she wants to tell him what happened. Marlena says she already did. John questions why she left her office and went to Doug’s room when she said she wanted to listen to the recording of her session, so he asks if it jogged her memory. Marlena claims it did so John asks what she learned. Marlena remarks that she learned that Doug is more of a threat to Julie than she thought. John asks in what way. Marlena then claims that Doug said he wanted to kill Julie.

Rafe and Ava greet Nicole and EJ. Rafe mentions that they were going to go to the Pub, which EJ mocks. Ava asks if EJ remembers her. EJ calls her one of his most notorious clients and says she’s looking well. Ava brings up EJ making a full recovery from being in pretty bad shape. EJ confirms that he’s much better now. Rafe asks if they are out celebrating business. EJ informs him that this is pure pleasure.

Paulina comes home and is surprised to find a candle lit dinner setup. Paulina asks Abe what the occasion is. Abe says he was inspired to make all of her favorite dishes including a homemade key lime pie. Paulina questions who told him that was her favorite because she hates key lime pie…

Marlena claims to John that is why she went racing to Doug’s room. John questions if she really thinks Doug would have killed Julie. John calls it hard to process. Marlena believes Doug has lost his mind. John holds her and reveals that Doug also told him something that upset him as well. John informs her that Doug earlier said that Marlena had tried to kill him. Marlena questions why he would say such a thing. Marlena insists that Doug is trying to kill Julie and calls it tragic. Kayla and Julie come over. Kayla tells them that Doug is finally resting so she is taking Julie for an x-ray to make sure everything is alright. Julie complains that she’s just worried about Doug. Julie tells Marlena that she is wrong as Doug would never attack her.

Doug remains in bed, repeating that he did not hurt Julie and that it was “him”. Doug prays for God to not let Him hurt Julie anymore.

Marlena tells Julie that she knows how difficult this is to accept. Julie argues that Doug didn’t do it and she keeps accusing him over and over when he said he’s innocent. Julie blames them all for frightening Doug. Marlena says she’s sorry but she needs to face the truth. Marlena talks about how painful it is for all of them, but claims that in her professional opinion, Doug has become a danger to himself and others, so it’s her recommendation that Doug be committed to Bayview.

Abigail clarifies that Johnny wants to make a movie about demonic possession and he wants her to play Marlena. Johnny insists that Abigail would be great and is a natural actress. Chad questions when the Sami Brady Story became about demonic possession. Johnny says audiences like a good horror story and it’s still the Sami Brady Story, but Marlena is a big part of Sami’s story. Chad agrees that the horror genre is a better sell so an easier investment. Johnny mentions Lucas and Roman already agreeing to put money in, while Chad has been really supportive. Chad says he would love to hear his pitch. Johnny says he’s still working on storyboards but those won’t show what Abigail can do as an actress. Chad asks what Abigail thinks about all of this. Abigail says she’s not sure. Johnny sees they need time to talk and make up their minds but he offers a working draft of the script. Johnny hands it to Chad and says he’d appreciate if he can read it soon. Johnny says there is something he has to do, so he exits the mansion.

Marlena continues listening to the Devil’s voice through the recorder, talking about being let in to Marlena until John had to go and invoke God.

Ciara tells Allie that New Orleans was the best place to honeymoon as it was everything she could’ve wanted, except they were camping and having a romantic morning until she blurted out that she wanted to have a baby. Allie asks what Ben’s reaction was. Ciara says it pretty much killed the romantic mood as he was not super in to the idea. Allie kind of gets it as she loves her son, but people are not kidding when they say having a kid changes your entire life. Allie thinks they deserve time to just be newlyweds and free to do whatever they want. Allie asks if Ciara will keep her motorcycle when she has a baby. Ciara notes that is what Ben said too. Allie believes Ben just wants her all to himself for awhile. Ciara adds that it’s not all that Ben said.

Ben and Tripp get their drinks at the bar. Ben stops Tripp to ask him about being a doctor now as he has a medical question for him. Tripp asks if he’s sick. Ben says not in the way he’s thinking. Ben then asks Tripp that if somebody committed a horrible crime more than once, if it’s possible to pass that evil onto their own child.

Marlena continues listening to the Devil talking about feeling Marlena fighting him but he was certain that she would succumb to his desires and be his willing instrument once again. He talks about trying to get rid of Doug until John said that prayer which loosened his grip and he was cast out again. The Devil declares that it’s time for Marlena to let him back in as he will not allow her to leave him when they have so much work to do.

John runs in to Julie at the hospital and tells her that Doug woke up but is saying some very strange things. Julie wants to know what he said. John informs her that he said Marlena is trying to kill him. John knows it doesn’t make any sense but that is what Doug said, leaving Julie shocked and confused.

Johnny plays guitar and sings to Chanel in the town square. Johnny tells her that he’s come to woo her as he continues his song.

Chad talks to Abigail about going over the numbers for the stockholders in DiMera, while Abigail reads Johnny’s script. Chad makes a joke, noting that Abigail is distracted by the script. Abigail jokes that she gets to turn in to a panther in her role. Abigail knows it all sounds out there, but it would be her job to make it all sound believable. Chad questions if she’s seriously thinking about doing this.

Julie tells John that it has to be Doug’s medication making him paranoid and when it wears off, he’ll know it’s not true. John says Doug just got really upset that he didn’t believe him, so he’s trying to find Kayla. Julie decides she will go sit with him. John hopes that he’s calmed down a bit as Julie heads to Doug’s room.

Marlena argues that the Devil can’t make her help him and refuses to do it. The Devil warns that he always wins in the end and asks if she remembers the fun they had together. He says this time, he has an even grander agenda, but first they have to tie up a few loose ends. He says they can’t have Doug telling everyone about their encounter.

Johnny finishes singing to Chanel and repeats that was him wooing her. Johnny says for awhile, he wanted to be a rock star but that was before he wanted to be a film maker and after he wanted to be an FBI agent. Chanel relates so Johnny says they are perfect for each other. Chanel says he could definitely be a rock star as she had no idea he could play guitar like that. Johnny responds that he’s a man of many talents.

Ciara tells Allie that Ben worries he’s going to pass the genes that made him mentally ill on to their chlid. Ciara says that Ben is convinced of it and he wasn’t just mentally ill, he killed three people. Allie argues that it doesn’t mean the child will and compares it to not thinking Henry will turn out like Charlie, who was a rapist. Ciara explains that she tried convincing Ben that his problem was being beaten by his father and he would be an amazing dad. Ciara asks what if Ben doesn’t change his mind and never wants to have kids with her.

Ben clarifies that he’s asking Tripp if he and Ciara’s child would potentially be mentally ill and homicidal like he was. Tripp tells him there’s not a homicidal gene so he can’t pass something like that onto children, but if he did those crimes in a psychotic state. Ben mentions still taking the meds to control it. Tripp confirms that psychosis can be genetically inheritied which means his kid would have a genetic predisposition towards having it too. Ben asks if that means he’s right.

Abigail tells Chad that she was just as surprised that Johnny asked her to play the part but asks what’s so crazy about it. Chad says she just got back from Boston, so he doesn’t think she should be jumping in to something she knows nothing about. Abigail argues that she’s seen movies. Chad tells her that she can’t act. Abigail jokes that she was the lead in a play in second grade. Abigail adds that Johnny doesn’t want to use real actors and he thinks she can do it. Abigail adds that the kids will be in school, so she has time. Chad asks about her job at the Spectator. Abigail points out that she’s been on leave of absence for 4 months and run smoothly without her, so she thinks it would continue for awhile longer. Chad is surprised that Abigail is serious about this.

Julie goes in to see Doug. Julie tells him that she’s there and everything will be alright as he’s just a little confused. Doug asks where John is. Julie tells him that he went to get Kayla because she will know what to do. Doug pleads that he wants no more drugs. Julie thinks it will calm him down. Doug just wants people to believe him. Julie says that she believes he’s having a hard time right now so it’s important he understands they are all here for him. Julie says they all want him to be well and he will be fine. Julie tells him that she loves him and he will be himself again soon.

The Devil tells Marlena that she can’t resist him and they can take care of Doug. Marlena refuses to hurt Doug. The Devil asks why she cares so much about a weak old man when he can give her the power. The Devil declares that he will take care of Doug with or without her. Marlena pleads with him not to hurt Doug. The Devil says there may be another way to get him out of the picture, but only if Marlena backs him up. The Devil warns Marlena that she has a choice to make and it’s Doug or him.

Allie tells Ciara that she’s sorry that she’s going through all this. Ciara says it Ben’s worries never occurred to her. Allie suggests that they could adopt but Ciara says they can’t go down that route. Ciara says they’d have to find an adoption agency that doesn’t mind that the father used to be a serial killer. Allie explains that they don’t have go through an agency and can just hire a lawyer since she planned to do an open adoption when she was pregnant. Allie thinks they could even find someone in town so they would know that Ben’s not that person anymore and they would know the birth parents, while Ben wouldn’t have to worry about his genes. Ciara admits that never occurred to her. Ciara knows they would love any baby, no matter if it was theirs biologically or not. Ciara hates that Ben thinks he’s cursed as that breaks her heart.

Ben questions if Tripp is telling him that if he and Ciara have a kid, he can potentially end up just like him. Tripp confirms they could inherit Ben’s mental illness, but it’s also entirely possible that they wouldn’t. Ben informs him that his sister wasn’t right either. Tripp says there is still no way to prove it. Tripp wishes he could tell him something to make him feel better. Ciara and Allie join them at the bar. Ciara asks what they were talking about. Tripp claims they were just talking about what’s in Allie’s drink.

Julie doesn’t know what is tormenting Doug but encourages there is no need to be afraid as he’s surounded by love from everyone including Marlena. Doug says not Marlena. Julie insists that Marlena just wants him to be well and to take care of him. Julie asks him to believe her that Marlena is on his side as she is their great friend. Marlena then appears seated in the room with yellow eyes once again.

Chanel asks if Johnny had any other careers that he considered. Johnny jokes about going through an astronaut phase and wanting to be Spongebob as a kid. Chanel says she wanted to be a mermaid as a kid. Chanel admits Johnny is good at wooing her. Chanel yawns so Johnny acknowledges that she has to get in bed early. Johnny puts a flower in her hair and says goodnight as he kisses her on the cheek. Johnny then takes his guitar and walks away.

Abigail guesses she is serious as she would like to do something out of her comfort zone. Abigail thinks it would get her out of her head and to stop focusing on her problems and also get her over what happened in her second grade play. Abigail knows it seems silly but she was the lead and at dress rehearsal, she kept forgetting her lines so she got recast in front of everyone. Abigail recalls having to tell her whole family that she’d no longer be in the play and she remembers her mom being disappointed in her. Chad tells her that he’s sorry as he had no idea that happened. Abigail then reveals that she never forgot her lines and she was just acting. Abigail tells Chad that she told him that she could act which Chad acknowledges.

Allie and Tripp go home. Henry wakes up crying so Tripp gets up to go take care of him. Allie remarks that Ciara should be careful what she wishes for.

Ben and Ciara go home. Ciara is glad they ran in to Tripp and Allie at the bar as it was really fun. Ben agrees. Ciara asks what he and Tripp really talked about. Ciara reminds Ben that she’s the daughter of two cops so she wasn’t going to buy their story. Ben tells her it was nothing and says he was just acting Tripp’s medical opinion on whether or not he thought their baby could end up with his psycho genes. Ciara argues that he doesn’t have psycho genes and no one can predict what kind a baby can have. Ben notes that Tripp did say it’s possible that mental illness can be genetic but admits it didn’t exactly answer his question. Ciara tells Ben that she thinks Marlena can. Ben thought she just said no doctor could tell them how their baby would turn out. Ciara thinks Marlena could give him some advice since when it comes to helping people, she always knows exactly what to do.

Julie tells Doug that she will get him some water so she goes to get it without noticing possessed Marlena is in the room.

John goes to Marlena’s office to ask if she has seen Kayla but finds the office is empty so he wonders where the hell she has gone.

When Julie turns her back to to get Doug’s water, Marlena stands up and knocks her out with a food tray.

Update written by Joseph

EJ is at the Brady Pub making dinner reservations for his date with Nicole. Lucas approaches and questions if Sami came back to him, adding that he didn’t think she’d be that stupid.

Chanel and Allie work at the Bakery. Chanel comments on being tired after her bed was rocking all night. Allie asks if Johnny finally wore her down and if it was worth the wait.

At the DiMera Mansion, Johnny calls John and asks if Marlena is there. John responds that she is but she’s not feeling that well, so she’s in her room resting.

Marlena is asleep in bed, dreaming of the Devil planning to kill Doug.

John tells Johnny that if he’s calling to talk about his movie, they had that discussion and decided to pass on investing in it. Johnny knows John isn’t thrilled but questions if Marlena feels the same way. John confirms he’s speaking for the both of them. John repeats that this isn’t a really good idea as the memories of that time are painful. Johnny argues that confronting the memories could be a good way of exorcising them. John is sure he thinks demonic possession is big box office but what happened to Marlena was horrific, painful, and needs to stay private. John warns Johnny to leave that part out if he makes his movie and hangs up. Johnny remarks to himself that Marlena’s possession is the only part he’s leaving in.

Chanel says that Allie has a dirty mind while Allie thought she was sharing details of her sex life. Chanel clarifies that she and Johnny did not have sex, but he made her watch the Exorcist last night so she was rocking the bed, unable to sleep, as she kept dreaming of being the girl in the Exorcist and that the Devil was coming after her.

Julie remains at Doug’s side in the hospital. Tripp enters and greets her. Julie asks where Kayla is. Tripp responds that Kayla had an emergency so he’s going to be checking on Doug. Julie notes that Doug did not have a good night. Tripp worries that Julie didn’t either and suggests she go get some air. Julie says she can’t leave but thanks him. Julie supposes she was naive to think Marlena could help Doug right away, but after he saw Marlena, everything got worse.

Marlena wakes up from her nightmare in a panic. John rushes in to the bedroom to ask what’s wrong.

Allie tells Chanel that Johnny is so obsessed with making his movie that he doesn’t see it’s going to freak out every person in their family. Chanel adds that he’ll upset more than just his family. Chanel worries that making a movie about the devil is just begging for trouble. Chanel adds that she read about the making of the Exorcist before going to bed. Chanel says you don’t go messing with the devil if you don’t want him messing with you back. Allie calls Chanel superstitious. Chanel jokes that Allie is her good luck charm. Allie asks if she will talk Johnny out of making his movie. Chanel doesn’t see the point since Johnny is just as stubborn as Allie is. Chanel adds that she likes how passionate Johnny is. Chanel questions if Allie really meant that she’s okay with her and Johnny seeing each other.

Abigail walks in to the living room of the DiMera Mansion and comments that Johnny doesn’t look very happy. Johnny informs her that he just spoke to John, who said he and Marlena won’t be investing in his movie. Abigail says she’s sorry but asks what the movie is about. Johnny shows her Will’s script for The Sami Brady Story. Abigail remarks that it definitely won’t be dull. Abigail looks it over and asks Johnny if Will happened to write about her affair with EJ while he was engaged to Sami, which Johnny confirms that he did.

EJ tells Lucas that Sami is not back in Salem, not that it’s his concern. Lucas argues that Sami is the mother of his children and his friend. EJ asks if he or Allie have heard from her. Lucas says they haven’t. EJ points out that Johnny hasn’t either so he thinks that indicates that Sami is not interested in being Allie and Johnny’s mother or Lucas’s friend. Lucas finds it hard to believe that Sami is not keeping in touch with anyone. Lucas argues that Sami would not run away. EJ agrees since she never has before, but it seems despite Sami always being shameless, she finally realized how much she embarrassed herself by reaching the bottom of the barrel with Lucas. Lucas calls him a smug son of a bitch. EJ calls Lucas a loser. Lucas says that’s not how Sami saw it. EJ warns Lucas to watch what he says because he’s very close to making him angry and he doesn’t want that.

John asks if Marlena is okay. Marlena responds that she doesn’t know as she just had the most horrible nightmare. John encourages her that it’s all over and asks her to tell him about it.

Kate goes to the Kiriakis Mansion and greets Philip. He asks her what’s going on and if everything is alright. Kate asks if a mother can’t just visit her son. Philip says she’s a very busy woman so she doesn’t make casual visits to her son. Kate admits it’s not just a casual visit as she’s feeling concerned with her children today. Philip says if it’s not about him, he doubts it’s Austin, Billie, Cassie or Rex as they are all doing fine as far as he knows, so he guesses she’s worried about Lucas. Kate confirms that she is and asks if he’s not. Philip responds that he’s not. Kate argues that he is Lucas’s brother and he’s suffering, so she questions how he can’t be concerned. Kate talks about Lucas being sad and mopey about Sami. Philip says that Lucas is a grown man and suggests they stay the hell out of it.

Lucas tells EJ to take his best shot but Roman interrupts and tells EJ to get out or sit down. Lucas says it’s alright as he will go because he has things to do anyways. Lucas tells EJ to tell Johnny that he’s set things in motion. EJ questions what he means. Lucas reveals that he’s investing in Johnny’s movie which infuriates EJ. Lucas remarks that he doesn’t want to spoil The Sami Brady Story for him, but he’ll be surprised by who Sami’s love interest is. Roman holds EJ back as Lucas walks out of the Pub.

Abigail asks Johnny if Will wrote about her affair in detail. Johnny calls it the most cinematic scene in the script and talks about how Sami was planning her wedding, completely unaware, and it also includes striking visuals like a long shower montage. Johnny jokes about how Will described EJ’s naked body in his script. Abigail worries but Johnny then reveals that he’s cutting the whole storyline so there won’t be anything about her and EJ. Abigail is relieved, calling that not her proudest moment. Johnny then informs her that with Will’s blessing, he’s begun rewriting the script to focus on the darkest, most dramatic thing that’s ever happened to his family; when his grandma was possessed by the Devil.

Allie assures Chanel that she meant it and that she only worried that Johnny would want to hit it and quit it, but Chanel is a big girl so it’s fine by her. Chanel insists that Johnny has changed. Allie says that’s good since he is her brother and she does love him. Allie wants them to be happy and jokes that they should spend more nights together watching scary movies. Allie mentions that she didn’t sleep much last night either. Chanel asks if it’s her and Tripp.

Tripp informs Julie that Doug’s vitals are good and his condition is stable. Julie worries that Doug had a terrible night, tossing and turning. Tripp says he’ll talk to Kayla about increasing his sedative but notes that agitation is a fairly common side effect of dementia. Julie argues that Doug doesn’t have dementia. Tripp acknowledges that Doug is still being evaluated for more tests. Julie insists that if she prays for him, he will get better. Tripp encourages Julie. She questions believing that everything has a scientific explanation.

John asks Marlena what her dream was about but she claims she can’t remember. John points out that she’s still shaking. Marlena thinks it had something to do with Doug. John knows how worried she is about him. Marlena says everything has been going so fast and it’s all a blur so she can’t quite figure it out. Marlena recalls talking to Doug and then he was on the ground and Julie was there. John asks if she’s thinking it’s his heart. Marlena says that after he was stabilized, she wanted to check to see if he was alright and to make him feel better. Marlena doesn’t remember exactly what she said to him but she thinks she made him feel worse. John asks how she could do that. Marlena says she doesn’t know.

Kate decides she shouldn’t have come to talk to Philip about this then. Philip apologizes and says he’s kind of sensitive to her interfering in their lives. Kate argues that she does it because she cares and she hates seeing Lucas so unhappy, pining away for Sami, who has broken his heart once again. Philip reminds her that he tried to help Lucas with Sami, but she obviously doesn’t seem to want to get back with him so he needs to move on. Kate says that’s easy for him to say. Philip remarks that Kate might stop obsessing over her kids’ love life if she had a love life of her own.

EJ comments to Roman on the nerve of Lucas for sleeping with his wife and now giving money to his son for his cinematic pipe dream. Roman then reveals that Lucas is not the only one giving Johnny money for his film.

Johnny asks what Abigail remembers about Marlena being possessed. Abigail says not much since she was just a kid. Johnny asks if people were talking about it. Abigail notes that not many people wanted to talk about it.

Allie confirms to Chanel that Tripp did spend the night but says she didn’t get much sleep because she’s dealing with Henry teething. Allie tells Chanel how Tripp offered to come over every morning until the nanny gets there. Chanel is happy that Allie has someone who wants to take care of. Allie calls Tripp incredible and says she really cares about him. Chanel asks if she wants to talk about it.

Tripp tells Julie that it’s clear how important her faith is to her. Julie asks Tripp if he really believes there is a scientific explanation for everything. Tripp confirms that he does, but he doesn’t think faith and science are mutually exclusive, as he’s convinced that life is a miracle. Tripp brings up Johnny’s script about a story that happened in Salem, about Marlena being possessed by the Devil. Tripp asks if Julie remembers what happened. Julie says she and Doug were out of town, but she’s heard the stories. Tripp asks if she believes the stories are true.

John can’t imagine Marlena doing or saying anything that would hurt Doug. Marlena says she loves Doug and doesn’t think she would. John thinks Marlena is just working too hard and taking care of everyone but herself. John suggests she take a day off but Marlena says doing nothing would drive her crazy, so she has to figure out what’s wrong. John asks if Marlena might have recorded her session with Doug. Marlena remembers that she did, so she has to go listen to it and she has to do it now. John offers to drive her to the hospital since he wants to see Doug and Julie anyways. Marlena agrees and says she’s glad to be doing something as she goes to get dressed.

Philip jokes that it must have been good for Kate’s ego to have Roman pursue her. Kate states that Roman just let her know that if she was ever ready, he’d be there. Philip points out that she still didn’t answer his question so he asks her why she and Roman are not together. Kate responds that love is risky and she doesn’t want to take that risk. Kate talks about being hurt and humiliated so she’s just going to concentrate on family and work for awhile. Kate then admits there’s something about Roman as she’s always admired him.

Roman tells EJ that he’s not going to tell one of his grandkids no when they are following a dream. EJ argues that Johnny’s place is at DiMera, working for him. Roman asks if he ever thinks about how stupid he is. Roman tells EJ that if he wants Johnny completely out of his life, then forcing him to do something he doesn’t want to do and sneering at his passion will do that. EJ mocks Roman raising Sami. EJ argues that Roman is wasting his money as Johnny will abandon his movie when there’s actual work involved. Roman asks if EJ is taking out his anger at Sami on Johnny. EJ remarks that he’s trying to help his son grow up while Roman is indulging him, just like he always indulged his tramp daughter. Roman says EJ obviously came here for a fight. Roman warns EJ to be careful what he wishes for because if he keeps talking like that, he’s damn well going to get a fight.

Johnny tells Abigail that even though John turned down investing in his film, he told Allie that it was all true. Johnny thinks a documented story about a possessed grandma is marketable. Abigail asks why he doesn’t see that his family might see the movie as exploitative. Johnny doesn’t see why everybody is so offended by it and remarks that possession is nothing to be ashamed of. Abigail doesn’t think Marlena wants a movie made about it and asks how Allie feels about it. Johnny hopes she feels good because he asked her to play Sami. Abigail questions him not using actors. Johnny responds that lots of directors use real people for their movies all the time. Johnny says this is a Salem story so he wants people that are connected to the town and connected to the people that had to go through this unspeakable horror.

Allie tells Chanel that she really wishes Sami would answer her texts. Chanel says Allie can try to change the subject all she wants, but she can just ask Tripp what she’s keeping from her. Allie then agrees to tell her. Allie tells Chanel that Tripp is so great, she really likes him, and the sex is the best. Chanel asks what the problem is then. Allie reveals that Tripp told her that he loved her and she didn’t say it back.

Julie tells Tripp that in her life experience, the Devil takes many forms including Gabi. Julie says Tripp can keep his faith in science and she will keep her faith in God, so between the two of them they can do Doug some good. Tripp agrees. Julie thanks Tripp for the care he has shown them. Tripp says he’s off his shift now and offers to go to the chapel to say a prayer for Doug. Julie calls that a wonderful idea as Tripp then exits.

John and Marlena arrive at the hospital. John says he’s going to check on Doug and asks Marlena not to push herself too much. Marlena thinks she’ll feel better when she hears what’s on the recording as it all happened so fast that she must have missed something. Marlena sends her love to Doug and Julie as she then heads to her office.

Marlena goes to her office and plays the recording of her session with Doug. She then reaches the part where Doug said he locked Julie in the freezer on purpose.

John checks in on Julie. Julie worries that Doug is still so agitated and not getting the rest he needs. John worries that Julie hasn’t either since she was there all night. John says Doug will need Julie to be strong, so he suggests she go home to get some sleep. Julie says she won’t get sleep but she could use a shower and a change of clothes, so John agrees to stay with Doug. Julie thanks him and says she won’t be long. John tells her to take her time. Julie then exits the room. Doug’s heart rate starts to drop.

Abigail asks if Johnny will get Allie to play Sami, then will he get Sami to play Marlena. Johnny laughs at the idea but says no one knows where Sami is. Abigail says he might have to get a real actress then. Johnny says it’s a tough role as it’d have to be someone strong but vulnerable and really beautiful. Johnny then suggests Abigail for the role.

Chanel wishes she could relate but she and Johnny are nowhere near the “I love you” stage. Allie laughs off the idea of Johnny as a pure-hearted white knight. Chanel points out that Allie got her off subject of her and Tripp again. Chanel asks Allie what’s going on and what the problem is with her and Tripp. Allie tells Chanel that she knows Tripp is so great and they are serious about each other, but she doesn’t think that she’s ready. Allie thinks when she tells someone that she loves them for the very first time, she wants to be sure she really means it. Chanel asks what she thinks is holding her back. Tripp then appears and questions what they are talking about. Allie says they were just talking about Chanel and Johnny. Chanel adds that Tripp is Allie’s 5 AM hero. Tripp guesses they are all pretty lucky as he and Allie kiss in front of Chanel.

Roman tells EJ that he’s not going to just stand here and listen to him badmouth his daughter. EJ apologizes for being out of line but points out that Sami broke her vows and left. Roman says he’s not defending her, but they both know EJ was far from a great husband. Roman adds that EJ pushed Sami away and he’s about to do the exact same thing to Johnny.

Johnny praises Abigail. Abigail doesn’t know anything about being possessed, but guesses she knows about someone taking over her life. Johnny asks if Abigail will do it.

Marlena continues listening to the recording of her session with Doug, where Doug became possessed by the Devil.

John sits at Doug’s side as Doug wakes up. John tells him that they are all here for him and that Marlena is in her office now, trying to figure out what to do next. Doug’s monitors start to increase. John tells him to hang on but Doug says Marlena’s name.

Marlena continues listening to her recording between her and the Devil.

John tells Doug that Marlena is trying to help him. Doug responds that Marlena needs their help because she tried to kill him.

Marlena’s recording has the Devil’s voice asking if she really needs to listen to it as if she already forgot their reunion.

Abigail mentions reading today’s Spectator and acknowledges that it couldn’t have been easy to write the article about Xander’s drug charges. Jack says especially since he knows for a fact that Xander is totally innocent.

Xander asks Gwen what her plan is to get him out. Gwen says it seeds of a plan as they need to prove EJ and the judge’s collusion or they get their own leverage over Judge Smails. Xander asks how to do that. Gwen brings up EJ beating Xander up. Xander asks what that has to do with the judge and asks if she thinks EJ threatened the judge with bodily harm. Gwen says she doesn’t know but maybe they could.

Nicole questions EJ asking her out on a date. EJ can’t tell if she’s good shocked or bad shocked. Nicole brings up their history. EJ hoped that she had gotten past that and asks for a chance to redeem herself by taking her out to dinner tonight. Brady and Chloe walk in the office as Brady hopes Nicole is too smart to say yes to EJ’s offer. EJ tells Chloe that it’s lovely to see her. Brady questions what EJ is doing. EJ says it’s none of his concern. Brady states that Nicole is his friend so it is his concern if she’s in a dangerous situation. Nicole says she wouldn’t call it dangerous but Brady asks how it ended last time they were together. Nicole says they both made bad choices. Brady asks if she thinks EJ has changed. EJ remarks that back then, Brady wanted Nicole all to himself but she chose him instead.

Abigail knows Xander is Jack’s friend and that he claims to be innocent but says they can’t take what he says at face value. Jack insists that Xander didn’t sell drugs and only confessed to protect Gwen. Abigail questions if Gwen was the person selling stolen opioids. Jack says it’s complicated but he’s grateful that Xander stepped in to protect her. Abigail questions why he would do that. Jack reveals there is something romantic going on between them. Abigail calls that a match made somewhere other than Heaven.

Xander tells Gwen that he’s stuck in here while Gwen says she’s not. Xander doesn’t think Gwen has a threatening physical presences. Gwen brings up being accused of killing Abigail’s grandmother which might give Judge Smails pause. Xander appreciates her offer but thinks it’s better for her to keep her clean. Gwen suggests hiring someone to intimidate the judge. Xander asks if she knows someone. Gwen brings up Jake being in the mob so he might be willing to do her a favor for old times’ sake.

Gabi and Jake get coffee and sit together in the town square. Jake can’t believe Rafe would be cruel enough to deprive her of caffeine. Gabi complains about Rafe making her apologize for calling Ava a bitch. Gabi insists that Ava hasn’t left her past behind and asks if Jake believes her. Jake admits that most people never make it out of the mob. Gabi guesses Jake must have met enforcers and hitmen during his time in the mob. Jake asks why she’s asking. Gabi wonders if Jake knew someone that could run Ava out.

Philip thought Ava hated Gabi. Ava says she does but she is Rafe’s sister. Philip points out that Rafe doesn’t have to know that she’s working with him. Ava questions what she’s supposed to do. Philip mentions that she could find evidence of the key logging software that she and Jake put on his computer, but he’d take any skeleton from her closet as he’s sure she has plenty. Ava feels Gabi is too smart to leave any evidence lying around the house. Philip suggests she spy on them then since she overheard something once. Ava says she just got lucky once. Philip questions if she’s saying she won’t help him take them down. Ava responds that upon further consideration, she wants to know what’s in it for her.

Brady questions EJ thinking he’s jealous of something from a lifetime ago. EJ asks why else he would care if he’s dating Nicole. Brady repeats that Nicole is his friend so he wants to make sure that EJ is not taking advantage of her. Brady asks if it’s any coincidence that EJ is swooping in as soon as Nicole’s marriage to Eric ended. Brady adds that EJ is still married to Sami but EJ says not for long. Chloe suggests letting Nicole speak for herself. Brady questions if Nicole is seriously thinking about going out with EJ. Nicole appreciates his concern but doesn’t want to make a big deal out of this. Brady reminds Nicole of what EJ is capable of. EJ suggests Brady focus on his own relationship instead of Nicole’s love life. Brady responds that he’s not involved with anyone right now. EJ brings up Kristen breaking out of prison to keep Brady away from Chloe. Brady remarks that Kristen was out of her mind and paranoid at the time. EJ declares that now that Kristen is out of his life, there’s nothing stopping Brady and Chloe from being together.

Ava tells Philip that she’s open to negotiation. Philip is glad because he thinks they would learn some interesting things from her spying on Gabi and Jake. Ava has a better idea and informs him that it turns out that Jake used to work for her family business and did a lot of illegal stuff. Philip likes where this is going. Ava says she was out of commission but her cousin Angelo runs a tight ship and was obsessed with paperwork, so she guarantees that he has evidence they can use against Jake. Philip asks what kind of crimes they are talking about. Ava reveals it’s the kind that Jake would spend a significant amount of time in jail for. Philip is excited about the idea that Gabi might trade Gabi Chic for Jake’s freedom.

Jake questions Gabi asking him to have Ava killed. Gabi says she’s just tossing out a hypothetical. Jake can’t believe she’d even say that out loud and warns that anyone who touches Ava would still have an immediate target on their back and it could incite a mob war. Jake reminds Gabi that he came to Salem to get out of his life, so he doesn’t want to think about his time working for the Vitalis or the crap they had him do. Gabi then asks if Jake has ever killed someone.

Xander tells Gwen that as much as he enjoys the idea of a goon like Jake roughing up from the judge, he questions if Jake would actually do it. Gwen asks why not. Xander brings up that Jake was the CEO of a large corporation so he’s gone legit and he didn’t think Jake and Gwen ended on good terms. Gwen admits she wouldn’t put it past Jake to flip on her and tell the judge that she hired him. Xander guesses it’s not a good idea and decides against the violence angle. Gwen suggests bribing the judge but Xander points out they don’t have any money. Gwen says they can dig up something to use against him. Xander wonders if the judge has a gambling problem or cheats on his wife or hires a prostitute. Gwen then points out that maybe the judge would hire her since they used the story of her being a prostitute. Xander tries to laugh it off but questions if she’s going to offer the judge her services as a hooker.

Jack tells Abigail that Gwen was not a drug dealer, at least not willingly. Abigail asks if he is saying she was coerced. Jack explains that the real dealer was Dr. Snyder, who treated her after her miscarriage. Abigail questions how he forced her to deal drugs. Jack informs her that they had a history and Snyder was using it to blackmail her. Abigail asks what kind of history they are talking about and what he was blackmailing her with.

Brady tells EJ that he loved Kristen. EJ says not enough to stand by her side. Brady argues that he was with her the entire time she was in prison and he took it very seriously but in the end, he couldn’t forgive her for hurting all the people he cares about like Chloe. Nicole points out that Kristen tried to kill Chloe twice. EJ calls jealousy a powerful emotion so he could understand how it could drive someone to do something rash. Brady questions EJ condoning what Kristen did. EJ talks about Kristen sitting in prison while imagining Chloe with the man she loves. Chloe informs EJ that she happens to be seeing Philip Kiriakis now. EJ remarks that Brady lost out again. Chloe says it’s not like that. EJ thinks Chloe made the right choice as long as she’s not sharing corporate secrets with the competition.

Philip wants Ava to get Angelo on the phone to see what he has on Jake. Ava tells him to slow down. Philip asks what the problem is. Ava tells Philip that he gets Gabi Chic but she’s not lifting a finger to help him until she gets what she wants out of the deal. Philip asks what she wants.

Jake tells Gabi that he was not a hitman. Gabi asks if he’s never killed anybody then. Jake questions why they are talking about this. Gabi says she was just joking but Jake argues that there’s nothing funny about working for the mob. Gabi asks what it was like and what exactly he did for them. Jake responds that he did his job which was to make money for the family. Gabi wants to know how. Jake explains that the bosses would make arrangements with local businesses for protection from them and he would enforce those arrangements. Gabi asks if he means he’d hurt them if they didn’t pay. Jake says he did what he had to do because he had no choice, but the entire time he was trying to get out. Gabi recalls Jake having the book with the account numbers to force them to let him go. Jake says that was the plan, until Gwen stole the book from him.

Gwen tells Xander that this could work, especially since Jack thinks she was a hooker. Xander didn’t think she was serious. Gwen says the point is that when she gives the judge a chance to sample her product, he won’t be able to resist.

Abigail questions Jack informing her that Gwen was a prostitute. Jack says it was a low point in her life and she needed money, so she made some bad choices. Abigail asks if Dr. Snyder was one of her clients which Jack confirms. Jack talks about how awful it must have been for Gwen to have Dr. Snyder threatening to expose her past right after she lost her baby. Abigali declares that all of this happened to Gwen because of her.

Xander questions what Gwen is going to say to the judge or if he will even be interested. Gwen feels it’s worth a shot. Xander admits that any man would have difficulty turning her down. Gwen adds that she’ll make it clear that there isn’t anything she wouldn’t do to save her boyfriend. Xander accepts the idea of being Gwen’s boyfriend. She leans over the table and kisses him. Gwen says that was nice but would prefer it in a more romantic location. Xander tells her how badly he wants to get out to be with her again. Gwen declares they are going with Operation: Seduce Smails then. Xander says no because he’s her boyfriend and is not going to let her just shag some other man. Xander refuses to allow her to have sex with the judge just to save his sorry ass. Gwen clarifies that she won’t actually have sex with him but she’ll go in with a recorder to get him to agree to the trade, so he’ll either release Xander or lose his job. Gwen asks if it’s a plan then but Xander still says absolutely not.

Jack assures Abigail that Dr. Snyder blackmailing Gwen was not her fault and that Dr. Snyder was the only villain in this story. Abigail informs Jack that she went to go see Gwen yesterday to apologize for everything that happened. Jack knows it couldn’t have been easy for her. Abigail calls it the right thing to do. Jack asks how it went. Abigail says they will never be close and she’ll never forget that Gwen tried to destroy her family and marriage, but she didn’t deserve to lose her baby. Jack assures that Gwen knows it was an accident and asks if she accepted her apology. Abigail confirms that she did, but she’s not sure that she can forgive herself.

Philip questions Ava wanting a job at Titan, when Victor still blames her for forcing him to launder money and nearly getting him killed. Ava argues that Philip could talk to him, but Philip says Victor would never go for it. Ava asks about one of his subsidiaries and if Victor would even have to know she was there. Philip asks if she has something specific in mind. Ava reveals that if Philip wants her help, he’s going to have to put her in charge of Gabi Chic, but they’ll have to do something about the name. Ava jokes about the name Ava Chic.

Nicole assures EJ that Chloe would not share corporate secrets with Philip or anyone and Brady knows that. Brady wouldn’t put it past Philip to try to get it out of Chloe. Chloe informs them that Philip already offered her a job at Titan but she turned it down because she likes her job here. EJ states that if Nicole values Chloe, then he does too and apologizes for questioning her. Chloe informs them that she and Brady have a meeting. EJ asks if Brady has anything else to say. Brady thinks he said everything he has to say and tells Nicole that hopes she decides to listen. Brady and Chloe then exit. Nicole comments that things escalated quickly. EJ questions who Brady is to tell her who she should and shouldn’t date. Nicole calls him just a concerned friend and admits she’s a little concerned too. EJ acknowledges that they did hideous things to each other back then, but feels that shouldn’t get in the way of them enjoying a lovely evening together now.

Jake tells Gabi that he stole that book to get away from violence for good. Gabi encourages that he’s done that. Jake worries about the mob suddenly deciding he’s useful to them. Gabi tells him not to worry as they have a lot going for them. Gabi adds that if there was some way to connect Ava to a crime that she was never charged with, they could use it against her. Jake fears that digging back in to that world could be tempting fate.

Philip understands why Ava would want to run Gabi Chic but says he can’t risk her running it in to the ground. Ava advises him not to underestimate her, reminding him that she ran her own corporation and was the head of another business that is a lot less welcoming to lady bosses than the fashion industry. Philip doesn’t think he can make that pitch to the board or his father. Ava tells him that it’s his choice, but unless he agrees to her terms, then she’s not helping him and without her, he doesn’t get the dirt he needs on Jake and Gabi retains control of Gabi Chic. Philip feels like she’s blackmailing him again. Ava says she’s just countering his offer, so she asks what his answer is. Philip then agrees to Ava Chic and they shake hands.

Nicole tells EJ that she doesn’t know if she’s ready for this. EJ questions if she means not ready to date or not ready to date him. Nicole says both. EJ points out that her marriage is over and she just said she’s trying to put her feelings for Rafe behind her. Nicole says it isn’t about Rafe or Eric but admits maybe it is a little. EJ feels there’s no better way to move forward than to share company with a man who enjoys sharing her company. Nicole is having a hard time trusting EJ and his motives. EJ asks what possible ulterior motives he could have. Nicole questions if he really wants go out with her or if it’s just his way of sticking it to Sami.

Abigail tells Jack that she knew Gwen was pregnant when she fought with her and she should’ve been more careful. Jack encourages that she didn’t start the fight since Gwen seduced her husband and her resulting pregnancy was a threat to her marriage. Abigail feels she was out of control. Jack says he’s made more mistakes than she ever will and she can’t change what happened but can only commit to learning and growing so that it doesn’t happen again. Abigail points out that he never did what she did. Jack asks how many times he’s hurt her, Jennifer, or JJ, and yet they always found it in their heart to forgive him. Abigail says that’s because they love him. Jack is grateful for that every day, but he’s learned to live with his regrets and not let them wreck him. Jack tells Abigail that it’s time for her to forgive herself as he hugs her. Jack declares that she and Gwen both need to forgive themselves.

Gwen complains that Xander didn’t like her physical violence plan, the sex angle plan, and now this plan. Xander feels it’s too dangerous. Gwen pleads with him to let her help him. Xander says not like this. Gwen brings up the risks he took for her including getting rid of a dead body and confessing to drug dealing, so now he’s facing prison and it’s her turn to take some risks for him.

Abigail tells Jack that there’s one thing that bothers her about Gwen and Dr. Snyder. Abigail gets Gwen not wanting people to know she’s a sex worker but questions becoming a drug mule instead to keep that secret. Abigail feels she would’ve rather told the truth than commit more crimes.

Xander tells Gwen what it means that she’s willing to do this for him. Gwen tells him they are in this together. Xander wishes they had a better plan. Gwen states that Xander is facing years in prison because she was afraid to tell her father that she lied about her miscarriage. Xander has no regrets as he’d never want her to lose Jack. Gwen worries that now she could lose Xander. Gwen talks about growing up without a father and losing her mom to a drug overdose. Gwen thought she loved Jake but that was a very unhealthy relationship. Gwen calls Xander the first man to actually mean something to her, so she will be damned if she lets him go to prison.

Ava calls her cousin Angelo and leaves a message, saying she needs some information on a former friend of theirs who went by the name Jake Lambert, now Jake DiMera.

Gabi agrees with Jake that she doesn’t want to look back at his dark past, so they should count their blessings that the mob let him go and now they are both safe. Jake adds that they are now part of a very legitimate business. Jake remembers a meeting with a new distributor this afternoon. Gabi forgot to tell him that got rescheduled. Jake asks if they should go back to the office then but Gabi wants to focus on how to use Philip’s jealousy over Brady to oust him from Titan. Jake says they can’t do that with Philip working down the hall. Gabi decides they go back to her house. Jake asks what if Ava is there. Gabi doesn’t care if Ava doesn’t want to see her and wants to just go home. Jake hugs her and tells her how grateful he is for her and says he’ll never stop trying to make her happy. Gabi tells him that he’s already done that.

EJ talks about Sami destroying Nicole’s marriage and exposing her infidelity while she was sleeping with Lucas. EJ questions if Nicole wouldn’t want to stick it to Sami as much as he would.

Xander guesses that Gwen thinks they have a future. Gwen asks if that scares him. Xander admits it does a little because he wants it so much. Xander didn’t think he’d ever be in another relationship after Sarah dumped him because he didn’t think anybody else would have him. Gwen guesses she’s not anybody else. Xander agrees and notes that the rest of Salem is probably hoping he gets locked up for decades for ruining Nicole’s marriage. Gwen relates that she did the same thing to Abigail’s marriage. Gwen supposes it makes sense that they are together. Xander agrees that they make a lot of sense. Gwen declares that it’s settled then that she will get the goods on judge so he will throw out the case and Xander can tell EJ to go to Hell.

Nicole tells EJ that Sami left town so maybe she won’t find out that they went on a date. EJ is sure she will find out. Nicole then agrees to go out with EJ. EJ tells her that he’ll pick her up at 8 as Brady and Chloe come back in. Brady makes a comment as EJ says he didn’t hear them come back in. Chloe says it sounds like they didn’t miss much. EJ suggests they could double date sometime with Chloe and Philip. EJ tells Brady that he’s the odd man out. EJ then tells Nicole that he will see her at 8 and exits the office. Brady warns Nicole that this will blow up in her face.
