Kristen is in the square dialing her phone. She calls an annoyed Xander to set up their meeting. He is not feeling it. She touts what a great deal he is getting. Sarah will walk again thanks to her. Xander grumbles that Kristen will get her grabby grasping hands on the Kiriakis empire in exchange. Kristen smirks.
Police station. EJ brings Fiona coffee. He apologizes that its not spiked but alcohol got her in this situation so probably not a good idea. Fiona wonders if EJ is enjoying toying with her. He has come bearing gifts, a plea deal.
Stefan is drinking his lunch. Melinda comes in with his divorce papers. All he needs to do is sign and Gabi is out of his life for good.
Gabi brings Rafe lunch. He's reading a letter and is sad. Gabi says he looks like someone died. Rafe says someone did.
And back to Kristen taunting Xander. She hopes he isn't having second thoughts. If he is she wants to remind him that only Rolf can help Sarah walk again. Xander is aware. Kristen will be by to sign the deal. Xander hangs up and looks sadly at Victor. An irate Justin enters, he can't believe Xander would turn over Victor's legacy to the DiMeras.
Stefan looks at the papers. After he signs, Melinda will get Gabi to sign and it will all be over. Stefan isn't keen to sign. Melinda wants to know what he's waiting for?
Some Hernandez aunt we have never heard of, and don't care about, died. The funeral has already occurred. Gabi and Rafe briefly name drop Eduardo and Dario. Gabi still thinks about the family in Texas. Rafe has a box of something he was left in the will. They banter about how funny he is. No evidence of a personality is on display.
Rafe slowly opens the box and finds a ring. The dead aunt sent him her engagement ring. Gabi said she always wanted to try it on but it wasn't leaving her finger until she died. Rafe slowly reads letter that says that since he's been unlucky in love that this ring might help him secure the right woman. Gabi says Rafe was the son she never had. They start talking Spanish and talk about true love. Talk turns to Gabi’s imminent divorce.
Melinda tells Stefan to sign. Stefan needs time to process. He thinks Melinda just wants a shot at him once he's single. Melinda is offended and takes off, running into Kristen. Melinda warns her Stefan is in a foul mood. Nothing can spoil Kristen's high. Melinda says obtaining Titan is a huge coup and Mr. Shin is impressed. Kristen gloats about how she is now unstoppable.
Justin can't believe this betrayal from Victor's own son. He can't believe Xander would hand over his life's work to Stefano's demented daughter. Victor is rolling in his grave. Xander says let him roll.
Justin wants to know what Kristen has on Xander? (a very understandable conclusion to draw) Xander tells him Kristen has a serum to cure Sarah's paralysis. Now Justin gets it. Xander wishes there was another way. Justin is sympathetic but as legal council... Xander doesn't need council. Victor left him Titan to do with what he chooses, and he chooses to give it up for Sarah. There is nothing Justin can say. Sarah wheels in. She has stuff to say.
EJ is offering the same deal that he offered to Brady. Plead guilty for ten years. Fiona scoffs. She's not signing anything. EJ says that if she doesn't sign, she will die in a cell since she confessed. Fiona laughs. She didn't confess to anything.
Fiona will never admit to running over Sarah. EJ says the game she is playing will not work. Fiona thinks it will. EJ points out that she admitted her crime to Xander, Sarah and Brady. Fiona doesn't recall any of these conversations. EJ has dealt with his fair share of remorseless contemptible people and Fiona is right up there. Melinda comes in and tells Fiona to stop talking. She's here to protect her. EJ calls Fiona a sociopath and queries if she has time for this between helping Kristen run DiMera into the ground? Melinda says Kristen is doing very well which he will find out about soon.
Melinda calls Fiona a defenseless woman being railroaded by a patriarchal misogynist. EJ wants to know how Fiona is being railroaded? Melinda says Fiona is innocent and demands EJ release her.
Justin will leave Xander and Sarah to talk. Sarah says Justin is right. Xander can't do this. It would be a huge mistake to hand over Titan to Kristen. Xander asks if she understands he's doing it for her? She doesn't. Victor left Titan to Xander because he saw himself in him, and it would kill him to see him hand it over to that viper. Xander tells her she's right about Victor. If it was Maggie's health at risk Victor would move heaven and earth to save her.
Sarah points out that she is not dying. She has accepted that she will never walk again. She can live with that. Xander knows how hard she has tried. He has seen the brave face she puts on, but he knows what a struggle it is. He could not live with himself if there was something he could do instead holding on to some empire.
Sarah says she feels lucky not to be dead, and she has so much love from Maggie and Xander. She knows people with disabilities can lead good lives, and she can be one of them. She takes his face in her hand. You do not have to do this. Just call the blackmailing b-word and tell her the deal is off.
Said b-word flounces in to Stefan. She wants to know why he's sad, and guesses it's about the divorce. Is Gabi taking him for everything? Stefan isn't sure he wants a divorce.
Rafe wants to know what the status is? Gabi updates him on the divorce. Rafe senses she isn't happy. He thought she wanted out. Does she still want Stefan?
