Alex is sick but sleeping on his couch instead of his bed. Joy stayed over to take care of him.

Johnny is tossing and turning in bed. Chanel sits on the bed as Johnny says "No Joy, we shouldn’t be doing this."

Kristen is wandering the town square talking to herself about why Brady would talk to Ava.

Replay of Xander and Brady with the John neck hold. Brady telling Uncle Xander it will be all right. Brady gets a text from Kristen; he leaves to chat.

Replay of Maggie dropping the water bottle on Sarah. Sarah runs though a list of things she can do, she is thrilled, Xander's upside down face turns right side up. He is beaming as Sarah tells him she can feel her legs.

Brady finds Kristen in the town square. He asks if she wants to know about Sarah? Nope, that wasn’t the reason I wanted to talk to you. Why the hell were you discussing our relationship with Ava?? Kristen is upset that Brady said to Ava that he wasn’t sure if he wanted a future with Kristen. So, Kristen wants to know if this is true and why?

Kinda wrapped in a blanket but still shirtless Alex is on the phone with Stephanie. He continues to explain to his friend Stephanie why Joy is at his house, came to run lines, hung around to watch him vomit repeatedly just to make sure he is fine. Because apparently men need assistance and watching over? Or Joy finds those abs attractive because they are on full display. Stephanie sounds less than thrilled that some other woman watched over Alex.

Philip walks up to chat with Stephanie. It’s awkward

Joy asks about Stephanie.

Johnny finally wakes. Chanel has brought saltines and ginger ale. Chanel asks about the “No Joy, we shouldn’t be doing this” comment. What should we be doing?

Xander runs to Sarah’s side. Maggie goes to get Kayla. Xander touches her leg and Sarah tells him not so hard! Xander is pleased she felt his pinch. He tests a few other places including kissing her upper thigh. Sarah is so happy for her but mainly for Xander. He tells Sarah she is his everything, then calls his his miracle, says he loves her so much.

Stephanie and Philip hug, they say it’s been a while. Philip tells Stephanie that she’s changed her hair. Stephanie tells Philip she’s changed her hair at least 6 times since they last met. Philip comments she looked far away when he came in. Stephanie tells Philip she’s doing publicity for his mom’s soap. Philip replies Oh, yes, that classic daytime show that jumped to streaming. Stephanie yes, Body and Soul, and she tells the story of spoilers and poisoned cupcakes. Philip isn’t overly concerned about cousin Alex.

Joy and Alex chat. Joy was born here, but grew up on the mean streets of New York.

Chanel grills Johnny on what he and Joy should not have been doing. Johnny lies totally unconvincingly and Chanel buys none of it. Johnny thinks this means he’s working to hard. Hahahahahahahaha Johnny is finally working and finds it hard and exhausting.

Kristen is still in 4th grade about Brady talking to another girl. She goes on and on and on. Maggie calls and interrupts Kristen’s full on insane rant. Brady takes the call as Kristen stands behind him rolling her eyes. Maggie tells Brady it’s beginning to work. Sarah has feeling returning to her legs. Kayla is in surgery so another doctor will be coming over to check on what’s going on with Sarah.

Brady is thrilled with the good news. Maggie re-tells the story of Brady getting the serum and how happy the family is for him doing so. Kristen says good news? Kristen knows that Sarah getting feeling means a lot. They made it happen, Kristen and Brady. She is not going to ask him, it’s too soon. Brady tells her he knows what she wants to know. Kristen asks, so Brady, do you want to give them another chance?

Stephanie tells of her brief relationship with Alex, thankfully we didn’t have to hear it. She asks about Philip stopping Xander from turning over Titan to Kristen. They talk about news traveling fast in Salem. Only when it serves da' plot.

New doctor is checking on Sarah as she wants to starting walking. Sarah orders a new CT scan and blood work for herself. New Under 5 actor doctor goes off to get things started. Sarah tells Xander she wants to walk now. She’d like to start to walk now!

Brady and Kristen in the square continue this will you please take me, the psychotic, fixated only on you, back? Brady tells Kristen he has given it some thought since they last spoke. Kristen wants a full relationship with Brady. But Brady only wants one of friendship and as a co-parent of Rachel. Kristen comes unglued she tells him the board will think she is just a simple love-struck fool who has been played. Kristen’s fantasy has been destroyed. (for this glorious moment)

Johnny hears that the cupcakes were tainted. The current rundown on those who got sick from the cupcakes are Johnny, Abe, Grandpa Roman, and Alex. Seems the women of the show were smart enough to not eat food that arrives in boxes.

Joy talks of having friends in Salem. Alex tells Joy he doesn’t know Johnny all that well, but he knows Chanel. Joy claims she doesn’t deserve a friend like Chanel. Alex asks what are you talking about? Joy tells Alex that she hooked up with Chanel’s husband.
 
Johnny is upset that Hattie was the one who poisoned the cupcakes. Well, she’s the number 1 suspect at least. Johnny tries to get out of bed, he needs his stomach pumped because he’s been poisoned. Chanel calms him down. Mama (Paulina) already took Abe to the hospital and they tested his blood and the pathogen is one commonly found in non-fatal poisoning cases. Because we all go around town non-fatally poisoning our frenemies, I’m sure I have jars of it. Johnny is relieved he will survive. Chanel just hopes her bakery can survive this latest setback.

Alex is shocked, SHOCKED that Joy hooked up with Johnny and wants all the details. Alex gets the story, it’s a replay of their first meeting. Not so sadly no flashbacks of the Johnny/Joy coupling are shown.

Philip wants to hire Stephanie to have her help him make his case against Xander. Stephanie refuses to take on Philip as a client.

Maggie comes into Sarah’s room wanting to know what the doctor said? Sarah tells Maggie the doctor confirmed what they already knew, the feeling has returned. The doctor is going to run some tests. Sarah doesn’t want to wait she wants to walk right now. Because during all this time in a chair she’d done physical therapy to keep the muscles going in her legs, they are ready to bear weight and be legs again. She won’t get cramps as the muscles contract and release as she stands.

Crazy out of control Kristen continues her meltdown in the town square for all to see, giving the DiMera board even more proof she’s not the one. She blames Brady for dangling the chance of reunification over her head. Brady tries to explain he said nothing of the sort, but Kristen is now certain that Brady and Ava will be laughing their patooties off as they think about Kristen.

Brady has returned to his Golden Retriever setting and is confused about why Ava was brought into this argument. Kristen assures Brady that he is just salivating for the chance to be with Ava. Brady wants to end this conversation because it’s stupid and pointless. He tries to leave but Kristen lets him know he can’t go anywhere till she has her say.

Sarah, Maggie and Xander continue to talk about letting Sarah up and about. Bonnie calls, Maggie leaves. Xander suggests Sarah takes a nap before all of her tests. Sarah can’t believe Xander wants her to sleep. She fake promises to sleep. As soon as Xander leaves, she "wakes" and uncovers herself.

Philip can’t believe Stephanie turned down the job so quickly. Stephanie thinks that he’d do a better job at Titan than Xander. She reminds Philip that their relationship was a bit more, they were engaged.

Johnny and Chanel continue to discuss poisoned bakery goods. Johnny tells Chanel to find out if an order for plain cupcakes was ordered. Someone could have picked up a dozen or so and then altered them.

After hearing the gory details of the night Joy and Johnny, we didn’t hear, but Alex has. We have returned to 7th grade. Alex is working on a new facial expression.

Philip believes that Stephanie should take him on. He begs, she caves, as we all knew she’d do. Philip howls in excitement. Yes, Philip howls with excitement in the pub.

Brady tries to get Kristen to stop it. He tries to tell Kristen that they are not good for each other, and he wants to have a platonic relationship with her. Kristen tells Brady that Rachel wants to have mommy and daddy together again. Brady tells Kristen, that Rachel is strong and she can accept her parents not living together.

Kristen changes from a screaming banshee to a vengeful woman, Rachel will be okay, she will strong it will be just the two of them, Kristen and Rachel. Brady asks Kristen not to lock him out of his daughter’s life. Kristen tells Brady by using his favorite phrase, she’s not making any promises as she stalks off.

Johnny's sitting in bed alone and wonders why he is calling out Joy’s name in his sleep? (Personally, I think he should chat with Tater Tot about this issue.) Johnny gives himself a pep talk.

Alex’s abs walk around the room. Joy pleads for her job with Alex. Alex’s abs open the door to Chanel.

Maggie finishes her conversation with Bonnie, and Xander walks up. They turn to see Sarah walking, well kinda of walking, she’s found a cane somewhere.
 
Half of a good episode. Of course Sarah and Xander were wonderful and it is so good to see them back on track, just in time to deal with Philip. I also found Kristen and Brady riveting. No matter what she says, toxic is the only way to describe this relationship, but in many ways I feel it is Brady's only option now. Between Psycho Kristen and Demon Seed Rachel, there is no woman alive who would want to take him on. Ava is probably able to deal with it but who would want to?

I have no interest in Alex, the Joy and Johnny mess, or who Stephanie is dating. This Philip might liven her up a bit but even BobbyEverett failed to make her compelling. I'd like to see Philip lure Jada away from boring Rafe, they both deserve somebody with a personality to play off of.
 
I love how everyone with a secret sleep talks. Why did he have to explain? It was dream which is generally forgotten when you wake up. But seriously, Joy. Johnny can't confess to Chanel, but you can to Alex?

Had to laugh. Closed captioning with Stephanie said Victor left Titan to Sandra.

Just knew Sarah would walk.

Oh my God, Kristen today. Yes, you are desperate and delusional. I had hoped Brady "playing" her would have finally made her say I am done with you. But nope. Now she gone even deeper off the end. She just went on and on and on. Enough already. You are pathetic.
 
Maybe they think they did the deed? Maybe they both passed out before it actually happened?
I was just coming to say the same thing. Or TBTB just want the viewers to think they did. Johnny could really be telling Joy that they shouldn't be kissing.
 
Well done, Robin!

So far, the only flashbacks we have seen are of Johnny and Joy kissing. But he did take off his ring, so was he THAT drunk? Someone very drunk would not be thinking about taking off their ring.

Kristen is definitely pathetic. Once again, making Rachel a pawn. Didn't she learn her lesson with this? Isn't it better that Brady is honest and not pretend to want to be with the viper? I was hoping he would say he would be with her in bed only if she wore the Nicole mask.

Joy looked like she enjoyed seeing Alex in most of his glory, but don't see any sparks there. Why the heck did she tell him about Johnny? Duh plot, duh plot.

Once again, comical interpretation of Philip. He is just plain odd! No way he can run Titan better than Xander. Delusional.

Love the last scene of Sarah walking. Let's call this episode "The Cane Mutiny."
 
Someone very drunk would not be thinking about taking off their ring.
But he didn't take it off to hide it, because Joy knew he was married. So "did he have the reasoning skills to remove his ring" isn't really the question. He might have taken it off to shower, or because he chowed down on too many salty snacks at Small Bar.
 
Kritter Kristen is beyond tiresome. How many times has she made the same speech that threatens to keep archbrat Rachel away from him forever? Actually, Brady’s paternal efforts should concentrate on preventing Tater Tot from becoming Daddy Tot.

Stephanie talking about her changing hair styles was fluff. More interesting would have been a dissertation on Shaggy Phil’s hair — how it’s different from Jay Kenneth Jackson’s (Philip I’s) hair and how it isn’t as shaggy now than when he was lusting for Chloe.

Thank goodness that Sarah is walking again. Now Xander can get back to doing what he does best — appearing shirtless and flexing his mighty muscles. Before that happens, there should be a celebratory party at the Pub where the guests feast on EJ chow and garbage can nachos.

Finally, foolish Stephanie thinking she could run Titan is of course nonsense, but is understandable given that idiots like EJ and Kritter have run DiMera Enterprises.
 
I know Days seems to like keeping their men shirtless of late, but overdid it with Alex today. Yes, I know there are some who enjoy it, but to me........was just too much.

It was Fiona who hit Sarah with the car. Brady was passed out in the passenger seat, so she managed to drag him over to the driver's seat.......thus he got blamed.
 
Thanks, robin.

Kristen needs a wake up call. She told Brady she was hoping to get Titan to put a feather in her cap.
Then she assumed Brady would want to be with her after helping Sarah. Kristen needs to take a step
back and see if he does. What she said today probably made things worse with Brady.

Nice scenes with Xander and Sarah.

Did Johnny and Joy have sex? We'll have to wait a while before we find out. Maybe Re-Ron flipped a
coin for the answer. Heads yes, tails no. :)

What a surprise at the end to see Sarah walking. Hopefully, she won't have a setback. It's Salem.
