Salem Inn - Shirtless & oiled Philip is lying in bed making sad faces at the letter. The letter is making him feel bad things. Vivian comes in and suggests he let it go. They must fortify their position. Philip wants to murder Xander by tossing him in the river with his fake leg. He's having second thoughts because of Sarah. Vivian says it's Victor's desire. Philip thinks it's "lucky" that Vivian showed up to save him from his Chloe obsession, the only thing that kept him from inheriting. He's being sarcastic through this scene and the next (he's actually funny).

DiMansion - Xander meets with Kristen. He couldn't come to turns with Philip but has another offer. Xander wants to kill Philip rather than rely on the courts. Kristen asks if he can kill Philip; he wants her to do it. She "asked him to kill enough people" so turnabout is fair play.

K-Mansion - Holly checks her phone because it's early. Tate has not replied. Sarah comes in and they exchange recaps about Tate's dad not causing the accident and Holly forgiving her mom. They also talk about the serum and the deal for Titan. Later, Sarah checked on sleep-talking Victoria, and then they recap the Holly/Tate story.

Townhouse establishing shot, Tate's Bedroom - Sophia and Tate wake up, all smiles. There's a teacher in-service so nobody checked on them. They talk about why they slept together. A text message from Brianna (who covered for Sophia) ends their reverie. Sophia has to call her mom. Tate wanders out to the living room, where he sees Holly's text message. Sophia comes out and sees Tate's expression. Tate says everything's OK, Sophia leaves. Outside, Sophia swoons. Inside, Tate re-reads Holly's text and stares.

Hospital Set - Replay of Joy's introduction. Johnny has a flashback to Joy returning his ring. Joy says they've met before. Johnny doesn't think so, but Joy was talking about Chanel. Kate introduces Johnny DiMera as "one of" their directors. Chanel is glad Joy got the job, then they banter stupidly. Kate needs to have Chanel go to the studio. Johnny wants Chanel to stay. Kate says no, orders him to take Joy around. Chanel and Kate leave. Joy thinks this is a coincidence.

B&S Office - Kate and Chanel recap the birthday party and Stephanie/Alex drama. Kate is giving them a second chance, wants Chanel to do the same. Kate remembers young Johnny from her marriage to his grandfather, Stefano. They talk about what jealous men do, like Stefano and Philip. She recaps the Philip/Chloe/Brady jealousy. Since Johnny didn't try to frame anyone, perhaps Chanel should forgive him.

B&S Hospital Set - Joy learns Chanel is Johnny's wife and didn't cheat on him, and that he did confront her in a nasty way. He was begging forgiveness when Kate and Joy walked up. Joy will keep his horrible secret. Her mom only knows someone was over, not who it was. Johnny's wife can't find out.

K-Mansion - Holly gets a text from Tate. "Hey, I just got this."

B&S Offices - Kate and Chanel need things to go smoothly. The show has scandals and it hasn't even aired yet. They don't need more problems. Enter Xander, who demands Kate call off her idiot son. Xander knows Philip doesn't have the brains or guts to do what he's doing solo. Someone's pulling his strings. Kate is surprised, claims to know nothing about the deal. Xander stalks off after acknowledging Chanel. Kate looks stymied.

B&S Hospital Set - Joy and Johnny are finishing their secret talk in public when Chanel appears. Joy lays it on thick about how much Johnny loves Joy. Chanel has decided to forgive Johnny, but he's on probation.

Townhouse Living Room - Tate has a flashback of agreeing to hang out with Holly. There's a knock on the door. Holly comes in. He apologizes for not responding to her text. There's something he needs to tell her.

Salem Inn Room 317 - Kate arrives at her son's room unannounced. Vivian is there.

Kmansion - Xander talks to Victor's portrait. If Kate can't stop him, and Kristen won't, Xander might have to kill him himself. Philip enters. Xander turns. END
 
Pretty dull Friday. Glad Xander is astute enough to know that Philip would never be trying to pull off something this big on his own.

Other than that, teens, yawn, Joy/Johnny/Chanel, yawn, Kristen being evil, yawn. Kate and Xander were the only two keeping me awake.
 
Xander talks about killing someone like one would talk about going out to dinner, and he looks so ugly when he says it. Tate and Sophia made one huge mistake. Philip is kind of funny dealing with Vivian. I really wonder why they came up with B & S and how long they plan on using it? I don't know one fan who cares for it.
 
Well done, Jason. You got a dull show, but we have seen worse.

With all due respect to John-Paul Lavoisier, I don't care for his portrayal of Philip; I prefer Jay Kenneth Johnson. Not that John-Paul is not a good actor, just not the best interpretation of Philip for me. Oh, well.

Will Johnny and Joy's secret remain one? The way that people talk out in the open, either Chanel or someone else will hear them. Since Chanel is giving Johnny a second chance, he needs to be careful.

So far, we have not seen flashbacks to what happened in Joy's hotel room, but it is pretty obvious. If all they did was talk, Johnny would not have removed his wedding ring. Duh.

I enjoyed Sarah and Holly's conversation. It seems that Sarah is making peace with her situation and putting Titan first. Little does she know what Xander is plotting. Since they agreed to total transparency, Xander is not living up to that agreement.

Will Tate reveal all to Holly or just tell her he started seeing Sophia and not mention the overnighter? Pretty foolish to even do that in the penthouse. They made a point of our knowing they used a condom, but we all know that is not 100% protection. Please, no teenage pregnancy!
 
So I assume Tate just lost his virginity to Sophia. Not to be mean, but I bet Sophia didn't lose hers to him. But I don't know, maybe. Still, I would have thought Tate really wanted to lose it to Holly. They jumped in bed too quick. Is he going to tell Holly? Or will she find the condom wrapper in his room?

Had to laugh when Johnny said to Joy he made a really big mistake. No Johnny you made 2 mistakes. Only a matter of time since Chanel is forgiving him.

Also laughed when Vivian commented about carrying Philip in her womb and he says never wants to imagine that, or something like that.

It is past time for Brady to find out what Kristen wants for the serum. He can get her to be human since she is hopelessly in love with him.
 
The writers don’t seem to realize that the viewers don’t want to watch Xander plotting to murder Shaggy Phil so he can give Titan to blackmailer Kritter Kristen?? That kind of Xander should stay buried. Instead, let’s have Xander outsmart the Kritter, get the serum, and get Sarah walking again. That sequence of events would foil the awful Kritter, shut up foolish Shaggy Phil and stop scheming Vivian.

Kate today mentioned that she has new wardrobe items for B&S. Given the faux soap’s meager budget, did she get them at the Savation Army used clothing store?
 
Thanks, Jason.

Hopefully, Tate will be honest with Holly about what happened before Sophia says something.

Does Vivian have a connecting room to Philip's or is there a 2nd bedroom?

Poor Johnny. Chanel put him on probation and told him not to mess up again. Too late.
 
Ha yeah, Vivian just hanging around in the room like that was weird.

And I honestly don't care if Johnny and Joy slept together. I know they want to keep us on the edge of our seats but I just refuse to do it. I'm leaning towards they didn't but either way no one needed this drama.

I want Philip and Xander to decide to work together against Kristen. Those two could be very entertaining together.

Thanks for the summary as always.
