Townhouse, Christmas decorations galore! Brady comes home and sees Belle and greets her with “Tink!”. He is thrilled to see her. They talk about Doug’s funeral a bit. Brady wishes he could have been there. He wants to visit Julie. I can’t remember him ever having a scene with her. Talk turns to Shawn. Brady wants to know if things are better? Belle tells him about the divorce.
Speaking of, Justin is going over the divorce papers at the pub with Shawn while jaunty Christmas music plays. Belle wanted him to have a lawyer look it over. Justin says it is pretty standard. Now there is something that Justin wants from Shawn, he needs Shawn’s help to assist Xander in holding on to Titan.
K-Mansion, similarly Christmasy. Very shirtless Xander is working out with weights. Sarah hobbles in and admires the view. Xander is not just working out, he is preparing for battle. Tomorrow he and Philip are going to war. Sarah is not keen.
Stephanie is on the phone once again warning us stupid audience members to avoid spoilers. Shirtless Philip opens his hotel room door to her and she gawps. After the Xander scene right before, this is a let down.
Belle finishes telling Brady that she and Shawn are glad things are moving on. Brady is here for her. Belle wants to know about Brady’s life. Rachel is a "lot". She is strong and stubborn and speaks her mind. Tate is learning that relationships are complicated. Brady wants to know about Brady’s love life? He tells her he has a big date to see the Nutcracker with Ava. Belle does the shocked Pikachu face.
Kristen is on the phone assuring Mr. Shin that she will still bring down Titan. Ava wanders by and Kristen is rude to her, saying you run into people in the Square you don’t want to see. Ava corrects, or you want to give hell to.
Justin tells Shawn that now Philip is going to court he is repping Xander. He knows Shawn and Philip are not close. He hopes Shawn will give a deposition in favor of Xander. Shawn says he can’t do that; he is rooting for Philip. Justin looks baffled.
Stephanie notes the shirtlessness and asks if he forgot they had a meeting? Philip goes to get dressed.
Xander wants to be at the top of his game in court, fighting for Titan. Sarah is confused about how being buffer will impress the judge. Xander tells her it is all about the mind and body connection; the fitter he is the more confidence he will exude. And the more likely positive outcome. He is not going to let Philip take his company away. Little brother or not, tomorrow they are two gladiators stepping into the ring, and he will not let him beat him. He continues to pump weights.
Back with Philip who is clothing himself. Stephanie is reviewing his case. She has spoken to a few business contacts who will write up citations in his favor, and some blind bloggers will type up articles about their dissatisfaction with Xander’s leadership. Philip commends her great work. He isn’t sure if this will tip the scales in his favor. Does she think it is enough for him to win the case?
Sarah is sitting now and enjoying the view. She wants to go to the Bistro for dinner. Xander is willing but he has another 45 minutes of working out scheduled. Sarah says she will go watch Victoria sleep. Xander tells her he needs her assistance doing press ups. Sarah thought press ups were a one man job. Xander looks enigmatic. Sarah asks if press ups are something different in Scottish? Xander says they are the same, but they are too easy. He needs somebody to sit on him. He jumps on the floor and tells her to hop on. Sarah worries she will hurt him. Xander tells her not to be daft, the dumbells weight more than she does. Sarah balances on Xander’s back and he checks if she is comfy. She is sooo comfy.
Justin is shocked that Shawn wants Philip to have full control of Titan. Shawn cites the letter from Grandpa Victor, and if Philip has proof that is what Victor wants, then Philip has a right to fight for it. Justin says he won’t try to change his mind and takes off.
Belle is a little shocked about the Brady/Ava acquaintanceship. Brady says it is not a date date. Belle points out that they are two single people going out, so it is a date. Brady concurs. Belle says this is the upside to her divorce, she does not have to go and tell Shawn that Brady is dating the woman who brought down the plane that killed his Grandpa Shawn Brady. Brady says that Ava was drugged at the time. Belle wants to talk about all the other awful things Ava has done. Brady doesn’t want to hear it. He says when Kristen finds out there will be hell to pay.
Kristen does not have time for Ava. Ava says she had time to take Rachel to the Nutcracker to make sure Brady didn’t. Kristen wants to know how that is her business? It’s Ava’s business because Brady is her friend and Kristen has screwed him over yet again. Kristen points out that Brady is a bigshot at Basic Black again so can afford to waste two tickets. Ava says they are not going to waste, she and Brady are going together. Kristen is not thrilled at this news, to say the least.
Shawn is reviewing the divorce papers. Jada comes in. She gives him condolences about Doug. I like her hair today. Jada sits and Shawn wants to let her know he is now sober and he is sorry about having sex with her sister. He deeply regrets hurting Jada, Rafe and Talia. Jada appreciates him saying that, she knows he was going through a hard time. Shawn says that is no excuse. Jada wants to know how long he is going to be in town? She hopes he would be interested in coming back to the Salem PD.
Sarah’s head bops in and out of the screen. She counts to 50. Xander thanks her for her help and they start to kiss. Justin comes in and apologizes for interrupting the workout. Sarah corrects, preparation for battle. Xander asks if Justin spoke to Shawn? Justin tells them he is Team Philip. Sarah is surprised. Xander is not surprised, but he still has a few tricks up his sleeve. Sarah does not like the sound of that.
Stephanie says the court of public opinion is swaying in Philip’s favor, but ultimately it will come down to whether a judge thinks he has a legitimate claim on Titan. Philip concedes that is a tough battle given that Victor left it to Xander. Stephanie prattles on about the letter that proves that Victor wanted it for Philip had he not been faking dead at the time of his passing. And since he has that letter it will be hard for Xander to prove he is the true heir. Philip looks guilty. He needs to be honest with Stephanie. About the letter…
Belle asks if Kristen is still hung up on Brady? Brady says more like she has staked her claim on him. Belle asks how she is doing that? Brady says in a nutshell, she was blackmailing Xander, demanding Titan in exchange for Dr. Rolf’s serum, but she led him to believe she was doing it out of the goodness of her heart, and that he told her that if she continued to do that they would have no chance of ever getting back together.
Belle notes that Sarah is walking so Kristen gave up the serum. Brady says that Kristen now thinks that he promised they would get back together if she did that. Belle points out that Kristen has a PhD in self delusion. She also points out that Kristen does not take rejection well. She recalls Kristen going to extremes to break up Chloe and Brady. Brady thinks Ava can hold her own against Kristen.
