32 minutes. Not terrible, but not good either.

Kristen is on the phone with Rolf talking about the secret sauce aka Sarah’s serum. She doesn’t want the 2nd batch created until Xander gives her Titan. Brady walks in during this heartfelt conversation.

Holly is at the Black townhouse. Tater lets her in. He says there is something I need to tell you and he tells Holly that he was with someone last night.

In the town square, Sophia is on the phone with her mom getting her chore list, laundry, dishwasher, take brothers to soccer practice.

Kate doing her best Kate, lurks in hotel hallways, talks to the key card about Philip coming to Salem and not calling his mommy and letting her know, pout. The man is 30+ years old, Katie get a life. She walks into Philip's room and meets Vivian. They fight over who is Philip's actual mother.

Replay of Xander talking to Victor’s picture, saying he might have to kill Philip. Philip chews the scenery as he opens the safe. Saying that he needs to run the company. Philip offers Xandy a gun to kill him.

Kristen cuts her phonecall short to speak with Brady. Apparently, Brady didn’t hear anything. He compliments Kristen on giving something without expecting something in return.

Philip and Xander bicker. Xandy takes the gun, points it at Philip and comments he can follow through.

Philip is Vivian’s son because she carried him blissfully for 9 months. Kate reminds her that Vivian stole her embryo. This conversation is for those of you just joining us. Kate threatens Vivian to stay away from HER son, Vivian laughs at Kate and says nope, not happening, but in a bunch more words.

Ava is at the main offices in Salem with her computer, aka HTS, calling Stefan yet again. Apparently, she needs to speak with him. She can’t process payroll without talking to him. Sophia comes up. She wants to switch shifts, but two people have called out so Ava says nope. They talk about Tate. Sophia tells Ava that they slept together.

Holly isn’t off the wall upset to find out that Tate was with Sophia. She confesses to Tate that she messed up so she wants to un-break up with him.

Ava wants to be sure Sophia is okay with bed bouncing with Tate. She doesn’t want to know all the gory details but did they use protection? Yes. Are you happy? Yes. Ava then asks but what about Holly?

Holly continues her apology.

Kristen stumbles to tell Brady something but Rachel saves the day, running in. Brady gives her the bag he brought for her. Grammy Mar Mar put “candy” in for Rachel, but Marlena’s idea of candy is boxes of raisins. Brady hid the good stuff underneath. The good stuff is a lollipop? Rachel made a special lunch for mommy. Can you stay with us, daddy?

Xander's still holding the gun on Philip. More discussion on which son is better.

Kate and Vivian talk about who is the best mother to Philip. Kate wants to call the police.

More conversation with Ava and Sophia about Holly, and how the Sophia/Tate relationship could go sideways in so many ways.

Tate and Holly talk about Paris. She tells of forgiving Eric and how she talked to her mom. Holly admits she is a hormone driven psycho creature, which why she did everything bad in the past two weeks as she slowly walks into Tate’s personal space. She knows that Brady didn’t do anything wrong.

Kristen and Brady talk about what could possibly be on the menu. Sandwiches cut to look like fingers. And tombstone cookies. Rachel heard about Brady’s new car; she asks for a ride.

Vivian hangs up the phone and won’t let Kate call the police. She tells Kate there is so much Titan money she can find someone to run that terrible soap opera.

Philip and Xander continue a conversation. Philip tells Xander he is a low life loser, and not a real Kiriakis and I don’t consider you to be my brother. Bold talk with a gun pointed at him. Philip points out that they don’t even know if Dr. Rolf’s serum will work. Xander would be in prison, Sarah still paralyzed and in a wheelchair, and Victoria alone. He tells Xander to take his best shot. Xander pulls the trigger the gun is empty.

Kate tells Vivian she won’t be roped into one of these ridiculous schemes. Vivian tells of the letter from Victor saying that he wanted Philip to run the estate. It is confirmed Vivian wrote the letter.

Rachel wants to be with her mommy and daddy. She is a truly amazing child as she remembers all the good times she had with Mommy and Daddy growing up. She wants to have more fun memories today.

Tate starts to break the news to Holly that he and Sophia, no stop Tate, I know you and Sophia are friends, process all of information I just gave you. Please forgive me and we can start over. Tate is glad that Holly was able to talk to her mom and fix things. He's glad Holly is home.

More teen angst with Sophia and Ava.

Brady and Kristen try to explain to Rachel that Daddy and Mommy aren’t getting back together. Brady leaves.

Xander breaks the news to Philip. He told Kate that Philip is in town. Philip goes off the rails and runs out of the room.

Vivian blackmails Kate if she calls the police and tells them about the forgery, she is also turning in Philip.

Xander talks to Victor’s picture, about killing Philip.

Philip returns to the hotel. He was the idea behind the forgery.

Kate starts to call Jada but stops.

Kristen and Rachel talk about grown up relationships. Maybe someday they will all live together as one family.

Tate is sad. Brady comes home, says hey Tater-Tot, I have some cookies your sister made. Dense Brady notices Tate is sad. Tate tells his dad about Holly coming home and wanting to get back together.

Ava and Sophia chat as they break up, Ava to go back to getting payroll done, Sophia runs into Holly. Sophia tells Holly there is something she should know. (But we shall have to wait till whenever they can fit part two of this conversation into the storyline.)
 
Thanks Robin. OK show. I am not loving Xander being so prone to murder lately. Surely with his money and resources he can just find Rolf and deal for the serum. I am very glad they have revealed that the letter is a scam right off the bat, but I feel like we just had this story with Theresa.

No opinion on teens. I don't care.

Kristen is going to end up trading the serum for Brady's approval or agreement to pretend to be a family for Rachel, isn't she?
 
@brisbydog, it does seem that this Xander/Philip/serum storyline is just spinning wheels, not going anywhere anytime soon, doesn't it?

It doesn't make sense that Xander doesn't take the serum he has and go to the best pharmaceutical facility and have it analyzed and reproduced. The chances of Dr. Rolf human testing the serum is beyond belief. But then creating the serum is also out there.

I also really don't care for the teen scene today. We need teens to grow to replace the older generation, but today I wasn't feeling it.
 
Many thanks, Robin! You lucked out, no Body & Soul!

It seemed like Tate was going to tell Holly that he slept with Sophia, because he appears to have a conscience, but she didn't let him; now it looks like Sophia will break the news.

Why the heck does Sophia tell Ava about her and Tate? They are boss and employer. Then, again, decorum never mattered much in Salem.

Rachel was cute today but needs to remember that her parents are not getting back together. It is nice to see Brady and Kristen acting civil, though, even if only for Rachel's sake. What kind of lunch was that? They didn't even sit down, took one bite, and that was that.

Agree that it is not pleasant seeing Xander resort to his old ways. How can he think he would get away with it if he did kill Philip? He would be removed from his family and serve a very long, if not a lifetime, of a prison sentence. When he pulled the gun's trigger, he did not know they were all blanks.

Vivian and Kate in an alliance?

I wish Fiona was still around. Would love to see her and Vivian interact.

How long before Ava suspects foul play when Stefan does not return her call?

Gabi thinks Stefan just left town after signing the divorce papers and sending her his ring, so she won't be suspicious at all.
 
Not terrible, but not good either.
Until re-Ron's soles hit the pavement, I think this is the best we can expect.
Philip returns to the hotel. He was the idea behind the forgery.
Boo.

Xander and Philip should really be allies. That would be more interesting. They were both treated as discards by Victor.
but I feel like we just had this story with Theresa.
And also didn't Vivian have a will scam already? Re-Ron should never work again.

I like Sophia and Ava's relationship. I'm afraid of how re-Ron will handle it, though.
 
I thought Philip actually looked scared when Xander had gun on him. But he knew it wasn't loaded. Hate that Xander pulled the trigger. Don't make him a killer.

I hate that they gave Kristen a child. Never should have been a mom, ever.

I hate that Stefan is gone. When are they going to find out he's really gone?

Oh, I think Sophia will definitely tell Holly that she gave Tate something Holly never did.

No commercials today. Weird.
 
Xander is as willing to kill someone as he is to say hello. Sorry Brisby, I hate him. The way Philip reacts to things, I think he has a screw loose.

Vivian and Kate: what a pair.

The teen story is probably very realistic in this day and age, but they could just disappear and I wouldn't even notice.
 
Probably would help if the teens did not always look so serious, so pained. They never laugh, joke around, etc. Then we have the fact that practically everyone in Salem seems related in one way or another. (bio, in-law, relative of an in-law, bff, relative of a bff, .......etc.

And...........Sophia cofiding in Ava??? Xander suddenly reverting back to his dark side. Not slowly.....just Bingo. Where is Steve, Kayla, Marlena, Roman, the Pub, Julie. Johnny,

Yes I know Days had to cut down on cast...Just wish they'd cut streaming and go back to regular TV. LOL.

But I do appreciate the return of some vets, because of Days "60th" season.

I do agree with Robin, not too good an episode today, but not bad either. I wonder it this is Re-Ron's return from being off because of the strike.........and putting things back the way he wants. Do not think he was too happy with what the temp writers came up with in his absence. LOL
 
Who’s the better son, Shaggy or Xander; who’s the better mother, Kate or Viv; who’d be the better girlfriend, Holly or Sophia? Could it be that the answer is none of the above?

Xander should stop playing with guns and making threats. Everyone knows he won’t do anything Sarah disapproves of.

Life must be getting dull for Ava if she has time to discuss Sophia’s love life.
 
Thanks robin.

I thought it was cute Philip said Xandy.

It didn't take long for the reveal that the letter was written by Vivian not Victor. How long will
take for Xander to figure it out?

Nice scenes with Brady and Rachel.

Will Kristen give the serum to Sarah to get Brady back?

Will Kate call the police about Vivian?

Of course, Tate didn't tell Holly he slept with Sophia and now Sophia will tell her. It's Salem.
