DiMansion Entryway - Chanel and Johnny open a package from Allie, who wishes them well.
Mayor's Office - Abe and Paulina arrive. Abe wanted Paulina to stay home. Paulina wants to get back to work, starting with a chat with the DA. Specifically she disagrees with EJ's deal with the guilty Stefan and his "mockery of a press conference" done without her office's involvement. Mayor Paulina Price can stand up to a DiMera.
DiMansion Study - Nicole and EJ, who eat early, talk about DiMera stock (it's leveled off). Nicole is reading the Spectator. The DA's apology to Tate is in the paper, bottom of page one. They are smoochy as EJ talks about watching a movie. Nicole has an errand first. Johnny and Chanel enter and show off Allie's gift (looks like a blanket wearing a belt). Nicole leaves, EJ gives them a gift (having already given them a sculpture with Nicole) in a baby shower card. It's a check with lots of zeros that EJ won't take back; he asks Johnny to work for him. Johnny turns him down, Chanel loves free spirit Johnny, EJ keeps the offer open. Johnny and Chanel will be looking at apartments. He gets a call from "Mayor Price" demanding to see him in her office now (even though it's after dinner time).
Spectator Offices (night establishing shot) - Leo is working on a story about Stefan. Sloan calls and they bicker about Eric's job. Chad arrives and Leo terminates the call, refusing to give up his source. Chad asks if his article is ready? Leo says it needs photos, their photographer is unreliable, and it happens that Eric Brady is looking for photography work. Later, Chad thinks Eric is good but is more concerned with filling the open reporter slot. None of the applicants are qualified but they are still advertising. Leo isn't interested. Chad compliments his work. Later, Nicole shows up to apply for the reporter job, despite no experience with printed media and no writing samples.
Square - Eric and his permanent scowl have reviewed the bills and the Salem Inn charges lead him to believe Sloan's having an affair. He calls the credit card company and asks about his wife "Sloan Petersen's" charges.
Petersen-Brady Apartment - Sloan gets a text and calls Melinda. Dimitri von Leuschner is set to be released from his maximum security prison.
The Office of Mayor Price - EJ wants to know why he was summoned? Paulina's angry about the press conference, the drug ring, and the DA's office's lack of communication with her office. EJ thinks she was irresponsible to expose Salem to her radiated body, and purports that he's fielded calls about pressing charges for her endangering the community. Paulina isn't backing down and neither is EJ, who claims that people want Abe back as mayor.
Petersen-Brady Apartment - Sloan tells Jude it's time for damage control. She calls Leo (at the Inn) and says she's on her way. Leo wants to know how he's in the middle of everyone's drama. Knock, knock - it’s ERIC. Eric realizes he's not Sloan's lover and wants to know why she's footing the bill for his room? Leo suggests he ask Sloan. Sloan arrives, tells him about Dimitri as she barges in.
Spectator Offices - Nicole thinks she's failed the pitch. Chad says she has more experience than Leo, Xander, and Chad himself when they started, and a female voice would be good. She's hired, but she needs to be fair and balanced and no stories involving EJ. Nicole thanks that's fair. The hire is on a trial basis.
Square - Johnny and Chanel liked the apartment. Abe is reading at a table. They talk apartments, one had a small kitchen. One had a small main bathroom. Everything's small compared to DiMansion. Nothing really happens.
Price Townhouse - Paulina complains to Abe about her talk with EJ.
DiMansion Study - EJ fumes about his talk with Paulina, recognizes he's ignoring Nicole. He asks her what she was up to. She tells him about the job, she's happy to be doing something meaningful. EJ is happy for her, suggests a story on Paulina's irresponsible behaviour vis-à-vis the snowstorm. Nicole hesitates because of their close relationship (by marriage). EJ says he's heard from Salemites about this and wants the Spectator to investigate. He gets a call and dashes out of the room; Nicole calls Chad to pitch a story.
Salem Inn - Eric wants to know why Sloan has been paying for Leo's room for the last six months? Sloan is angry he opened her mail, which is a federal offence. Eric shuts her down, she pivots quickly to a sob story about how Leo's life was ruined and she felt sorry for him. He understands this charity but now that Leo has a job he wonders why it's still going on? Leo admits he's a shopaholic and will pay Sloan back. He's sorry he leaned on her so hard. Eric says the charity is over immediately.
Price Townhouse - Paulina and Abe are watching a movie and they reminisce about Blockbuster video. He tells them about Johnny and Chanel's apartment search. Paulina hopes Chanel will be moving out of the "creepy" DiMansion soon. She asks if the kids seemed healthy? They did.
Square - Chanel and Johnny have looked at another apartment which Chanel didn't seem excited about. She's very tired. They are going to go home. They slowly walk off camera (it is super weird) as Chanel twitches her nose. END
