Xander tells Victoria that being her dad has been his best present.<\/p>\n<p>Sarah begins moving in with Brady. Sarah tells Brady that she thinks she found room for all of Victoria&#8217;s things in his office. Brady assures that it&#8217;s fine. Sarah thanks him for letting them move in and promises it&#8217;s only temporary because she doesn&#8217;t want to cramp his style. Brady tells her that he loves spending time with her and that they can stay as long as they want.<\/p>\n<p>Alex sits with Joy in her hospital room with Kelsey. Alex tells Joy about Kayla quickly diagnosing Kelsey&#8217;s ear infection and getting her started on antibiotics. Joy thanks Alex for bringing her by. Alex says he knew she&#8217;d want to see her mom. Joy says she&#8217;s going completely stir crazy in this room alone with nothing to do and jokes that she&#8217;s stuck watching reruns of old sitcoms from the 50s. Alex says it could be worse. Joy tells Alex that she really does appreciate the company but Philip arrives and interrupts them which seems to annoy Joy. Philip says he was just checking in to see how Joy&#8217;s doing but he can come back. Alex tells him that they were just taking off. Joy questions him leaving already, saying she barely got to spend any time with Kelsey. Alex responds that Kelsey is pretty wiped out and suggests they come back tomorrow. Joy says goodbye as Alex and Kelsey then exit. Philip tells Joy that he&#8217;s glad Alex gave them some time alone because she has some explaining to do.<\/p>\n<p>Stephanie goes to the hospital and runs in to Steve. They are surprised to see each other. Steve thought she was spending the day with Alex. Stephanie says not anymore since Kelsey needed him as she had an ear infection. Alex then walks up with Kelsey, so Stephanie says that&#8217;s her cue to leave and tells Steve that she will see him later as she walks away. Steve tells Alex that he just heard about Kelsey&#8217;s ear infection. Alex says she just had her first antibiotics and seems a little less fussy. Steve recalls Stephanie&#8217;s first ear infection and he knows how miserable it can be. Steve says it looks like Kelsey is feeling a little better and offers to babysit with Kayla since he knows Alex wanted to spend the day with Stephanie, so if he goes now, he&#8217;ll have a few hours. Alex says that&#8217;s very kind of him and thanks him, but says he can&#8217;t let him do that.<\/p>\n<p>Joy questions what she needs to explain to Philip. Philip informs her that he just got off the phone with Chloe, who had no idea that Joy is having surgery and asks if Chloe even knew she was in the hospital. Joy hopes Philip did not tell her.<\/p>\n<p>Xander sits with Victoria playing with toy bongo drums that he got for her in the town square until he says that&#8217;s probably enough. Victoria says she wants to play music. Xander spots a piano nearby and takes Victoria to it. Victoria begins playing the piano which surprises Xander, who questions where she learned to do that. Victoria responds that she doesn&#8217;t know.<\/p>\n<p>Sarah tells Brady that she should get back to the house as she&#8217;s helping Xander get Victoria ready for the father-daughter dance. Sarah asks if Rachel is ready. Brady responds that he bought her three dresses and she&#8217;s picking out which one now. Sarah says she&#8217;ll be there to take photos. Brady says they are thrilled that she&#8217;s going to be there.<\/p>\n<p>Steve questions if Alex is doubting he and Kayla&#8217;s babysitting skills, insisting they are experts. Alex assures that he&#8217;s not and he appreciates the offer as he wants to go out with Stephanie, but it feels wrong to be pawning off his sick kid on her parents. Steve points out that Kayla is a doctor and is off shift soon. Steve adds that they both love babies and want to help, so he pleads with Alex to let them do this. Stephanie walks back by, so Alex stops her and asks how she feels about going to do something fun and letting her parents watch Kelsey. Steve assures that it will be fun for he and Kayla. Stephanie tells Steve that he&#8217;s the best. Steve tells them to get out and not to hurry home.<\/p>\n<p>Philip tells Joy that when Chloe didn&#8217;t make her situation, he figured she hadn&#8217;t told her family, so he didn&#8217;t say anything. Joy says that&#8217;s good because the last thing she needs is to have to explain to her mother why she didn&#8217;t tell her as she would then call her dad and he&#8217;d want to talk to all her doctors about everything. Philip suggests she come up with a plan. Joy responds that her plan is to keep her family out of it and she appreciates Philip going along with it, but Philip says no. Philip says he may not have told them, but she&#8217;s going to, as he offers her the phone.<\/p>\n<p>Sarah gets a call from Maggie. Sarah is shocked and says she&#8217;ll be right there as she hangs up. Brady asks what&#8217;s going on. Sarah informs him that Holly was almost mugged at knife point. Brady asks if she&#8217;s okay. Sarah says that luckily Lani was coming by and stopped the guy, who apparently wanted an expensive necklace that Daniel had given Maggie. Sarah feels it was convenient and worries that this could&#8217;ve been a warning from EJ, adding that she doesn&#8217;t know what to believe after what Arianna over heard EJ saying. Brady feels a mugging at knife point would be pretty extreme. Sarah says so is making everyone think that Holly relapsed. Brady says that&#8217;s true, but EJ doesn&#8217;t seem to think Holly knows anything about the Coriseal cover up. Sarah brings up everything EJ is doing to her family. Brady assures her that EJ is going to get what&#8217;s coming to him and tells her not to let thoughts of him ruin her day or night. Sarah agrees that Brady is the only man she should be focusing on as they kiss.<\/p>\n<p>Steve sits with Kelsey at the hospital, saying they and Kayla are going to have a great time. Steve hopes Alex and Stephanie have an even better time.<\/p>\n<p>Alex and Stephanie walk to the town square where Alex comments that he didn&#8217;t know Victoria was taking piano lessons. Xander says she&#8217;s not but maybe she should be. Xander talks about Victoria having him wrapped around her finger which Alex says he relates to. Xander says when he was younger, he used to think it would be insane to have kids but now, moments like this are what it&#8217;s all about. Xander brings up taking Victoria to her first father-daughter dance tonight and tells Alex that it won&#8217;t be long before he&#8217;s doing the same thing.<\/p>\n<p>Philip questions what Joy is waiting for. Joy puts the phone down and says she&#8217;s not calling her parents because her mom will freak out and be on the first plane out, then she will make it all about herself. Joy argues that she can&#8217;t focus on getting better if she&#8217;s dealing with her hysteria. Philip says he knows about overbearing mothers while Joy points out that it&#8217;s her dad too. Philip argues that he&#8217;s a doctor. Joy says that means he would try to completely take over and she doesn&#8217;t want that, so she tells Philip to stop pressuring her. Philip gets not wanting to tell her parents, but asks about Chloe. Joy points out that she&#8217;s on a cross country tour, so she&#8217;s not going to ask her to cut that short. Philip doesn&#8217;t think she would mind and argues that Joy is having spinal surgery. Joy calls it a common procedure. Philip argues that she&#8217;s going to at least need help with Kelsey. Joy responds that they will be fine. Philip then declares that he knows that this is all about and that&#8217;s making sure Alex is taking care of Kelsey. Philip points out that if Joy keeps her family in the dark, that means Alex will have the baby all the time which means Stephanie won&#8217;t be. Philip remarks that this ordeal turned into an opportunity to keep Stephanie isolated and Alex more involved with Joy. Philip guesses that Joy is loving it while Joy shakes her head.<\/p>\n<p>Sarah goes to the town square where Victoria runs up to hug her. Sarah asks how the birthday shopping went. Xander admits he may have gotten a little carried away. Sarah questions the bongos which Xander says Victoria had to have. Sarah suggests waiting on that until they get their own place. Xander asks why and remarks that he&#8217;s sure Brady would love them.<\/p>\n<p>Alex and Stephanie walk to the park as Stephanie points out that he still hasn&#8217;t told her what he has planned. Alex explains that when Kelsey got sick, they had to cancel their restaurant reservation in Chicago, so he thought they could improvise right here. Stephanie asks if they&#8217;re not still doing the couples massage. Alex assures that they are and it will just be a little later while they have a picnic now. Stephanie tells him that it sounds perfect to her as they kiss.<\/p>\n<p>Joy tells Philip that she&#8217;s lying in a hospital bed in so much pain that she can barely move and she can&#8217;t take care of her daughter, while he thinks she&#8217;s loving it. Philip argues that is why she should call her family so they can come support her and Alex. Joy responds that her injury is her business and if she tells her family, it will be when she&#8217;s ready, so he needs to butt out. Joy tells Philip not to come back and orders him to stay away, so he exits the room.<\/p>\n<p>Philip goes to the Brady Pub and runs in to Brady, so they decide to sit together for lunch. Brady asks if he was coming from the office. Philip says he went to check on Joy at the hospital. Brady asks how she&#8217;s doing. Philip says she seemed okay but then he ticked her off and she kicked him out and told him not to come back. Brady asks what happened. Philip explains that he insisted she call her parents to tell them that she&#8217;s in the hospital. Brady is surprised that they don&#8217;t know. Philip adds that Joy was adamant that he not say a word, so he won&#8217;t break her confidence, but he hates that she&#8217;s going through this without her family and admits he&#8217;s worried about her. Brady offers to stop by the hospital later to see if he can smooth things over, since Joy is Chloe&#8217;s little sister, so he&#8217;s worried about her too.<\/p>\n<p>Joy turns on the TV and begins watching a 50s sitcom which causes her to imagine herself, Alex, and Stephanie as characters in a 50s sitcom where Joy asks them to babysit Kelsey but gets turned down.<\/p>\n<p>Stephanie and Alex eat together and talk about their picnic date. Alex mentions that he hopes she wasn&#8217;t bothered earlier by he and Xander talking about having kids changing your life. Stephanie says it didn&#8217;t bother her and agrees that it&#8217;s true. Stephanie says she gets that he has a child, so of course life is going to be different and he&#8217;s going to see the world through her eyes. Stephanie adds that every day, she sees how that has opened a whole different side of Alex and she really likes it.<\/p>\n<p>Xander tells Sarah that they should get back to the house and get ready, but Victoria runs up to the woman playing the piano in the town square and asks her to play &#8220;All I Want&#8221;, which Victoria then sings to Sarah and Xander, surprising them and leaving them emotional.<\/p>\n<p>Alex tells Stephanie that he knows it&#8217;s been a lot, having Kelsey show up out of nowhere. Stephanie says she can handle Kelsey, but it&#8217;s her mother. Alex knows she&#8217;s a lot and says he&#8217;s sorry. Stephanie states that he can&#8217;t control what Joy does. Alex feels he can find a better way to handle things as they aren&#8217;t the first people to deal with a difficult ex. Alex brings up how his mother handled things with Justin and Adrienne while Stephanie mentions her parents dealing with Ava. Alex says they figured out a way to make it work while Stephanie points out that they didn&#8217;t have to contend with being forbidden from being around a child. Alex says he will talk to Joy more about that, but Stephanie doesn&#8217;t think Joy will listen and that she will double down on her demands. Stephanie brings up how Joy threatened to take Kelsey and leave town. Alex points out that she later admitted that she&#8217;s glad she didn&#8217;t, which he takes as a sign that she&#8217;s willing to be reasonable. Stephanie questions how. Alex points out that if she actually left town, they would&#8217;ve had a massive custody battle while she&#8217;s dealing with this horrible injury and it would&#8217;ve been a disaster, so now she sees that she can&#8217;t just pack up and take off. Alex declares that the next step is getting Joy to see that keeping Stephanie away from Kelsey for the next 18 years cannot happen. Stephanie asks if he really thinks there&#8217;s a solution. Alex assures that he has to figure one out because he cannot keep going on like this as it&#8217;s killing him to choose between his wife and hi daughter. Alex tells Stephanie that he&#8217;s going to fix this and he&#8217;s not going to stop until he figures it out. They say they love each other as they kiss.<\/p>\n<p>Joy imagines another 50s sitcom dream where she and Alex had gotten married where Joy shuts the door in Stephanie&#8217;s face, which makes Joy smile.<\/p>\n<p>Brady tells Philip that he has to get going as he has his date with Rachel for the father-daughter dance at the club. Philip mentions Xander being so excited to take Victoria. Brady points out that Sarah will be there too, taking pictures of everyone. Philip comments that Xander won&#8217;t be too happy to see Brady and Sarah together and can&#8217;t imagine he&#8217;s thrilled about Sarah moving in with him. Brady jokes that maybe Xander won&#8217;t bring his baseball bat to the dance. Brady tells Philip that it&#8217;s okay as Xander knows that he and Sarah are over. Philip asks if Brady&#8217;s sure about that, which he says he is and questions why.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria finishes singing &#8220;All I Want&#8221; for Xander and Sarah which Xander records on his phone as they applaud her. Xander can&#8217;t believe it and asks where she learned that. Victoria responds that she learned the song from Sarah. Xander asks if Sarah taught her that. Sarah explains that she sings it to her every night, but she didn&#8217;t think that Victoria memorized it. Xander says this is exactly what he was talking to Alex about when it comes to parenting with these moments. Xander tells Sarah that he just loves making family memories together. Xander adds that now that they aren&#8217;t living together anymore, there won&#8217;t be as much of that which breaks his heart.<\/p>\n<p>Brady asks Philip why he would question if Xander knows whether he and Sarah are over. Philip tells him to forget it, but Brady demands an explanation. Philip responds that it might not be his business, but the other day, Xander and Sarah ended up locked in the wine cellar together and they almost kissed.<\/p>\n<p>Alex and Stephanie recall their picnic on the 4th of July and say they love each other as they kiss. Alex reminds her how that picnic ended. Stephanie points out that was at night and they can&#8217;t be doing that in broad daylight. Alex jokes that he doesn&#8217;t see anyone around. Stephanie suggests taking it to the bedroom as they continue kissing.<\/p>\n<p>Joy gets a call from Justin and says she got the custody papers he sent but she hasn&#8217;t gotten a chance to look at them yet. Joy promises she will and hangs up. Joy then remarks that if she and Alex were married, they wouldn&#8217;t need custody papers as they would be a family with just her, Alex, and Kelsey. Joy then calls Melinda Trask.<\/p>\n<p>Brady questions Philip saying that Sarah and Xander almost kissed. Philip says that&#8217;s what it looked like when he opened the door to let them out. Brady points out that he&#8217;s not sure then. Philip says maybe he misunderstood, but he&#8217;s sure enough that he thought Brady should know.<\/p>\n<p>Xander and Sarah take Victoria back home to get ready for the father-daughter dance.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/index.php\/daytime\/days\/\">Back to the Main Days of Our Lives Page<\/a><\/p>\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- TVMEGBODY -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1056557952271337\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"8801203268\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tvmeg.com\/index.php\/2021\/12\/30\/daytime-soap-updates\/\">Back to the Main Daytime Updates Page<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6108\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tvmeg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/daysanim.gif\" alt=\"Days of Our Lives cast animated GIF\" width=\"137\" height=\"153\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Days of Our Lives Update &nbsp; Update written by Joseph Xander carries Victoria through the town square, talking about all the presents they got for her birthday as he sits with her on the bench.
