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?
 
Gabi and Rafe continue to lull me back to sleep. Rafe understands she is conflicted about ending her marriage. Platitudes about recently dead aunts wonderful union. Stefan broke their vows. Gabi slept with EJ. Rafe still thinks she's not sure. Gabi thinks Stefan doesn't want it either.

Kristen reminds Stefan that Gabi slept with EJ. Stefan never stopped loving Gabi, even when having his drunken one-nighter with Ava. Kristen can't judge, she can't move on from her obsessive toxic fixation either. She says if he isn't sure, then tear up the papers and get his wife back! She saunters out in her street walker outfit, leaving Stefan to reflect.

Sarah reiterates that Xander can't turn over his business to Kristen. Xander tells her she doesn't understand. Sarah does. She knows better than anyone what it meant to him to finally be acknowledged by Victor. Xander grouses which he couldn't be bothered to do until he died. Sarah is the one who will spend the rest of her life in a chair if he doesn't make a deal with the devil. Doesn't what she wants matter? It does, but Xander is doing this for Victoria too. Doesn't Sarah want to run and play with her? Take her to kindergarten? Stand at her high-school graduation next year? Does she not want to go back to work and not in a chair?

Sarah wants all those things but she can't let him hand over his and Victoria's birthright to Kristen. Xander tells her Victoria's birthright isn't Titan, it is Sarah, healthy and happy. He owes Victor nothing. He owes Sarah everything. For years all he cared about was Victor's approval and Titan, but then he met Sarah. She saw him for who he was and gave her love freely, only asking for honesty, while Victor couldn't be bothered to love him while he was alive. Everything he left to him can't measure up to what Sarah has given him and their life together. His mind is made up.

EJ reminds Melinda that Sarah will never walk again and Fiona confessed. Fiona says she did no such thing. EJ says both Brady and Sarah will testify that Fiona was the driver. Melinda says that testimony and $5 will get him bus fare to Chicago but that he won't get a conviction. He knows it and she knows it.

More Rafe asking if Gabi really wants to end her marriage? He tells her to take the time to listen to her heart then she will know what to do. He's off to physio. Gabi looks at the aunt's ring.

Long dull flashback sequence of Gabi and Stefan romantic moments that mean little because they can only show the new actress. It goes on for 5 hours or so. Stefan is having the same memories. He says to hell with Melinda's divorce papers.

EJ is happy to go to jury. He points out Sarah's heritage in the Hortons and her adorable one year old and a sympathetic jury who will want to punish her lush of a mother in law. Melinda points out Sarah's ever changing story and Brady's drunken recollections. She also brings up Brady being charged with killing his uncle in a drunken rage and throwing him into a river. EJ notes that she is referring to Philip the deranged lunatic who framed Brady, much like Fiona.

Melinda says Brady's testimony will give reasonable doubt. He was so drunk he believed he did it, and also changed his story multiple times. How can anybody be sure who hit Sarah? EJ blusters. Melinda says she will enjoy ripping him to shreds in court. But spare himself the humiliation and cut Fiona loose now. Fiona looks pleased with this turn of events.

Sarah appreciates everything Xander has said. She can't believe he would give Kristen what she wants without a fight. Kristen prances in at that moment. Sarah tears into her and her lack of conscience. Kristen says this is great for both of them! A mutually beneficial transaction. Sarah says that's what Kristen calls trading her ability to walk for her husband's and child's birthright. Stefano must be proud looking up from the bowels of hell.

Kristen will take that as a thank you. Sarah gives one last pleading look at Xander. She tells Kristen to move and wheels out. Kristen waves the serum vial in Xander's face. Do they have a deal?

Melinda is packing up. Fiona is gone. EJ tells her she will pay. Melinda laughs at him. Good luck explaining blowing another case to Paulina.

Fiona is drinking a martini in the square. Sarah comes upon her. She wants to know how Fiona is out of jail? Fiona smirks that the charges are dropped and she is free.

Gabi has a knock at the door. She opens it hoping for Stefan.

Stefan tells Stefano he is going to fight for his marriage. Immediately a black clad thug gets him in a strangle hold and tosses him unconscious on the couch.

Xander snatches the vial. Kristen says there is a second vial and both doses need to be combined for it to work. Does he need a pen? Xander wants to get this over with. Justin interrupts and tells Xander not to bother signing. Somebody has filed an injunction prohibiting the transfer of Titan. Kristen demands to know what Xander is up to but he is equally confused. Only a son of Victor can do that and Alex has been discredited. He isn't Victor's son.

But I am, says entering Philip. He sneers visibly at Xander. Xander spits out his name. Barely a word said and I'm reminded how annoying this Philip is.

Fiona being released is Cardboard Li's fault. He told Cuckoo Connie not to kill Malevolent Melinda.

*Swoon* This is why this man is running this show.

This is why I love Sarah now that she's not a Mary Sue.
 
And she confessed the hit and run to him too and he wasn't drunk or drugged.
It's still technically hearsay and Brady can be easily discredited by the fact that he confessed. Sarah, too, if need be. I think this might actually be right although I like Fiona and love EJ on the backfoot, so I'm biased.
 
Good job, brisbydog!

Gotta love Sarah, putting the company before herself.

Gotta hate Kristen for teasing Xander with only one vial of the two vials of the serum Sarah needs.

It is all so VILE.

I wonder if Stefan will be forced to write an awful text to Gabi saying he hates her, etc., and is forced to sign the divorce papers before he is taken to wherever he is going to be taken? Then Gabi WILL hate him for real and seek out EJ. The writing is on the wall (I think).

I really like Cherie Jimenez (Gabi) and hope she sticks around, but in a better storyline.

Seeing Fiona so smug, sitting outside as a free woman, is sickening. Will Xander have to get a restraining order/order of protection?

WHY is Melinda doing this?

THIS time I am Team EJ. He was ready to do the right thing.

I hope Brady is still free and clear now.

Unfortunately, Brady and Sarah's vacillating did not help their cause.
 
Most of these illigitimate kids weren't until the writers decided they wanted them to be. Good grief! Victor and Stefano slept with every woman who crossed their paths! Sure nice to see Rafe again. He's one of my favs.
 
Yuck! I hate when the first thing I see is Kristen. Though I was shocked when she told Stefan to fight for Gabi. Who was at the door when Gabi opened it?

I was wondering could just Xander sell all of Titan to DiMera? I wouldn't think only 1 person could do that. Nice to see Philip and hopefully he puts a stop to this nonsense. I was hoping Brady would find out what Kristen is doing and put a stop to it and make her give them the serum.

Man, people get into the DiMansion pretty easily. Don't they have security? And what is this about?
 
Thanks Bisbydog on the summary, a decent day. So refreshing.

I can't believe that Fiona would be sent to jail for 10 years for a first offense DUI, but Salem really has a different set of laws than the rest of the world. Interesting that no charges will be filed. But I guess that's so she can be free to fly home, to wherever home will be, or move in/on with any gent who strikes her fancy. I really want a Maggie/Fiona confrontation.

Gabi and Stefan have so much more story. Sorry to see Stefan knocked out.

Hi Shaggy Philip. Welcome home.
