Replay of Dr. Greene being knocked out by Steve. Steve tells Chad that this woman is not Abigail.

DiMansion interior entryway: Kristen is on the phone with someone telling them that yes, it is a miracle that her sister-in-law is back from the dead. She agrees it was a very productive meeting, the meeting was very productive and she has lots to think about. Kristen comes into the living room where Xander is simply standing in the middle of the room. Kristen informs him she’s not going to give him the potion as long as Brady is in prison. Xander says fine, but Brady’s free. Kristen ponders.

Police station: Brady walks into the center office and sees Sarah. She was hoping to catch him before he left. Brady tells Sarah that they just processed his release. Sarah tells him that now the correct person is in jail. She asks Brady if he has to leave right now or can he stay and talk with her for a moment? She understands if he has to go.

Paris: Chad asks again, what do you mean she’s not Abigail? Steve tells Chad that the woman is a con artist. Kayla ran the tests herself, the samples between this woman and Jack prove this woman is not your wife.

Kristen is surprised Brady is free. Xander tells Kristen the story of drinking, love and hitting Sarah. He's surprised that Kristen hasn’t read about it, it’s in the paper. Kristen just got back from a business meeting in Chicago. Xander tells her that he just got back from the police station where EJ didn’t want to free Brady but now, he is free. May I have the serum? Kristen says not till I know that Brady is free. Kristen says to Xander that if Brady is free, then I won’t have a problem with getting you the serum. Then she makes a phone call.

Police station: Brady answers the phone, it’s Kristen, they talk of his freedom. She asks Brady to stop by on her way home, Rachel would love to see him. Brady would love to see Rachel. But first how exactly did your release come about?

Marlena runs into Kayla at the nurses' station. Apparently both their office sets are in the shop or being used as Paris sets. Marlena asks Kayla if she’s ready for some good news? Kayla replies always. Marlena tells her that Brady is out of jail and heading home. Kayla continues to stare at her phone and says yeah, I’m sure you are very happy. Marlena says you don’t sound very happy. Kayla tells the story of Fake Abigail. The short story.

Fake Abigail drops to her knees to check on her brother. Chad snaps at the “love” of his life demanding to know if it’s true, that you are not Abby?? Fake Abigail replies it’s true, I’m not Abby. It hits Chad again that it means Abigail is really dead. He demands to know who the knocked-out guy on the floor is, your boyfriend? No, my brother, is Fake Abigail’s reply.

Kristen in her absolutely stunning board meeting in Chicago outfit, low cut, short skirt the nuns wouldn’t allow, to-the-knees boots, re-enters the DiMera living room. She tells Xander that it's a surprise Brady has been released. Now, it seems that since Xander didn’t get Brady released it was Eric who got Brady released, so sorry, no serum.

Sarah apologizes to Brady for blaming him for the accident. She feels so guilty for thinking he hit her. Brady forgives Sarah. It was on him for getting so drunk. Sarah tells Brady that he is a good man. Brady asks so why did you say you saw me in the driver’s seat? Sarah admits to lying to get him arrested.

Kayla and Marlena rehash the Fake Abigail story and Dr. Mark Greene’s involvement.

Chad has figured out that when Fake Abigail said she was talking to her brother, she meant Mark not JJ. Chad drags her into the bedroom and demands she answer his questions. The outraged Chad conversation where he demands answers to his questions while asking another, not allowing Fake Abigail a chance to answer, is difficult to type up.

Chad wants to know why? Is Mark her brother, what did she hope to gain? Fake Abigail gets out it was all Clyde’s idea. Chad continues, are you sleeping with him. Fake Abigail is all ewww, no! Let me explain, Chad continues with the questions not waiting for the answers. He tells her about Clyde, stops him from killing him. Fake Abigail tells him that Clyde wants Chad to be in torment and Clyde wants Chad’s money. Chad yells, so you pretended to be Abigail for my money? Fake Abigail admits to having real feeling for Chad. (why, baffles me, but okay)

Hospital waiting area: Kayla has brought Marlena up to date, as far as she knows, and apologizes for being distracted and not responding to the Brady freedom news. Kayla is sure that Marlena must be so happy. And now Kristen is not involved. Kristen had a plan and now she doesn’t need to be involved into his life.

Brady is surprised the police put him in jail. Sarah says that revenge was not the reason. Brady is sorry for Fiona’s involvement. He says you had me arrested, because you were trying to protect Xander. Xander was there to kill me, wasn’t he?

Xander is trying to convince Kristen that it was Sarah and he to convinced EJ to release Kristen’s lover boy. Kristen acknowledges that EJ is stubborn. Xander accuses Kristen of splitting hairs. Kristen tells Xander this was a quid pro quo deal and he didn’t deliver the quo. Xander then says so you aren’t going to give me the serum, are you? Kristen, giggles with her drink in hand and tells Xander well it’s your lucky day. She is feeling very generous, but she wants something in return.

Kristen wants Titan in return. Xander can’t believe it. He won’t hand over a billion-dollar company. The board meeting didn’t go Kristen’s way, the board is rapidly losing confidence in her ability to run the company. But if she has Titan, in addition to DiMera Enterprises, she will be the most successful CEO ever and will regain the board's confidence. Xander tells her that he will never give her his father’s company.

Brady and Sarah talk about the night Xander came into the bedroom. Brady remembers the non-friend from AA and that man drugged him. Brady has it all figured out and he confronts Sarah with it asking, do I have it right? You called the cops and lied to protect Xander?

Kayla asks if Brady is home yet? Marlena tells her she doesn’t know when he will be home, later this afternoon, I guess. She's so happy for Tate. Kayla says she bets John is just thrilled, Marlena says yes, yes, he is he always believed there was a little more to it. John also wishes he could be here to welcome his son home. Kayla asks if John’s out of town? Yes, his father wanted to visit the old farm in Baton Rouge, where he spent so many happy years with his wife. Kayla gets a beep. It’s not Steve. They discuss how Chad will be losing his wife again.
 
JJ walks in the Paris apartment sees Dr. Greene tied up, but still unconscious in a chair. JJ asks What?? Steve brings him up to speed, this guy is Chad’s would be assassin. Steve tells JJ that his sister Abigail is still dead and that woman is not his sister.

Chad can’t believe that Fake Abigail wants him to believe that she actually cares for him. Fake Abigail tells him that she wasn’t going to be malicious. She did actually discover she was falling in love. Chad asks about the wedding vows. Fake Abigail tells of digging through the box of wedding stuff to find the vows. Chad is now even more upset with Fake Abigail for her deception. Chad tells Fake Abigail that if she cared for him at all she’d have told him the truth.

Kayla and Marlena continue talking about Fake Abigail. How Chad and Jack went to find her in that apartment and found John tied up in her place and she had no idea how that happened. Steve and John never got to the bottom of that part of Fake Abigail’s story. Kayla hopes that when Steve confronts Fake Abigail he will get to the bottom of these questions.

JJ doesn’t want to tell his dad that Fake Abigail is not really Abigail. He wants to know the answers that no one has yet. Steve thinks the answers will be found with Clyde Weston.

Fake Abigail doesn’t know why Mark is here. She tells that the plan was to marry Chad, transfer his assets to Clyde and then disappear. Chad says then you or your brother or Clyde figured it would be easier if I were dead. Fake Abigail has no knowledge of the murder plot. Chad said that part of this is on him. He always knew in his gut that this was a lie. But he wanted to really believe.

Chad tells of Abigail’s parents finding out that that she isn’t their daughter, they too will have to mourn the loss of their daughter all over again. Fake Abigail tells that’s why she didn’t want to meet the kids, she didn’t want to get their hopes up again. She tells Chad that she and Mark wanted no part of this. Chad asks so why did you do it? Because Clyde forced us to. Fake Abigail tells him that the only reason she did this was to save someone that she loved. That Clyde is going to kill her mom if she doesn’t get Chad’s money.

Brady tells Sarah, that she doesn’t have to say anything he can tell from her face that he knows he’s right, then tells her he understands. Sarah tells Brady about Kristen’s part of the deal, to recant, without saying her name.

Kristen baits Xander with it will be give me Titan or no serum. Xander tells her that if the serum works as she claims than she will make a fortune. But Kristen points out that FDA approval and all the testing required, it will be YEARS!!! Years before she sees a profit and by then, the CEO chair will be filled by one of her brothers. Xander explains that his father left him the company to take care of. He will not just hand it over to the daughter of his greatest enemy.

Brady strolls into the DiMera living room. He asks for Rachel, then he wants to talk about the serum. She admits that she doesn’t have to give Sarah the serum after all. Kristen tells of still giving the serum anyway.

Xander walks into the K-Mansion. Sarah is on the couch. She tells Xander she talked to Brady and FYI, Brady figured out you were going to kill him. But Brady doesn’t have any proof, no, and he’s going to let it go. Xander thinks that’s good of Brady. Sarah asks how did it go with Kristen? Xander tells that Kristen doesn’t believe they had anything to do with getting Brady free, so Kristen changed what she wants in return for the serum. Sarah asks what does she want? Xander says his family legacy.

Dr. Greene wakes in Paris and demands to know what Steve is doing there? JJ tells how his uncle foiled the assassination attempt. Dr. Greene asks how did you know? Steve explains about the DNA test was a test of Dr. Greene.

Chad and Fake Abigail talk of Clyde holding her mom hostage. If Clyde doesn’t get the money soon, they will kill her. Fake Abigail said she can’t prove any of this. Chad tells her he doesn’t understand and he doesn’t even know who she is. After a long pause Fake Abigail tells Chad, I’m Cat, short for Catharina, I was named after my mom.

Marlena explains it’s all so strange, one minute John was putting flowers on Catharina’s grave, the next minute he was tied up in a room. He never got the closure he needed. No matter how much time passes he will never forgive himself. Marlena tells of how her Catharina’s death will always haunt him.

Chad asks Cat so as far as you know, your mother is still alive? He doesn’t care if Cat is telling the truth or now. Chad is going to make her pay for this criminally cruel fraud she has pulled on him.
 
Nice job, Robin!

If Kristen tells Brady what she wants in return for giving Xander the serum, we know Brady will have it out with her. If he offers to marry her instead, she will know it would be a marriage of convenience, that he won't be all in. Would she still go for it?

We still don't know where real Abby's body has been stored all this time. Will those with the Salem Brain (Steve?) be able to find out? I am sure only Clyde knows, he would not have told Mark and his sister, I am sure. That is leverage.

The one thing I will say about fake Abby, she DID delay seeing Thomas and Charlotte, and I DO believe she does have a good heart and was forced to do what she did, as we know, she was never on board. Neither was Mark.

The name Catherina meant nothing to Chad, but if he tells Steve, that will definitely mean something. Especially when he finds out that she is named after her mother who is still alive, thereby totally exonerating John. Since John was mentioned as being in Baton Rouge with his father, I am sure Steve can reach him to tell him this news.

Good scenes between Brady and Sarah. I am glad it is out in the open now, and Brady figured it out, anyway.

I am sure Sarah will tell Xander he should not take Kristen's deal and would rather be in a wheelchair than have Xander lose his company/birthright.
 
Kayla asks if John’s out of town? Yes, his father wanted to visit the old farm in Baton Rouge, where he spent so many happy years with his wife.
At least they're saying John is spending time with his dad to explain Drake Hogestyn's (John) absence.

I wonder if they'll just have Marlena call him with the good news that Catharina is alive at some point?
 
Good show today!

Glad we finally have a real name for Cat. I hate that Konstantin now has four grandkids in town. I pray the show retcons OG Catharina's paternity fast. Good performances by both Cat and Chad today.

The Marlena and Kayla stuff was pure filler.

Brady and Sarah scenes were excellent. Brady for once is thinking with his brain, and Sarah's silence was all the confirmation he needed. I like that he understood and is letting it go. He has done some bad stuff in his day too.

Kristen is just disgusting. If she ends up with both companies I will be so angry. And how ridiculous for her to expect Titan for an untested serum that may not even work, or may have terrible side affects.
 
A good day, when people actually have meaningful conversations. Fake Abby sure needed a kleenex! I give Sarah a lot of credit for saying she would rather stay in the wheelchair, than have Xander give up his inheritance. Everybody but Kritter. Can't do much about her!
 
LOL, and fake Abby kept wiping her nose with her fingers, but did not wipe her fingers anywhere. Seems they would be really icky, wet, etc. I believe she even brushed hair a bit...........Egads!

As I watched, MY nose was dripping a bit.......and I grab a Kleenex........staring at fake Abby wiping over and over with her fingers.........sheesh!
 
So, deja vu for me. I kept remembering how Bonnie pretended to be Adrienne and then Justin found out but she had developed feelings for him and then he developed them back for her and now they're together, yada yada. Repeat with Chad and Abby/Not Abby or Cat if she even really is the "Catherina". Gee whiz. what a dumb story to keep repeating. lol
 
Thank you for the summary, robinsnest.

Finally a big move in the Fake Abbey story. Hopefully Days keeps the pace going on that one. Though I don't hold out much hope for that.

Did it seem like the Kayla/Marlena conversation was just to give the actresses their screen time? Otherwise, I don't see much point of it being shown.

Enough already of Kristen's dirty deeds and her infatuation with Brady.
 
I'm OK with Konstantin having four grandkids in town, as long as they don't have horrible accents. I just wish Bill had more.
Let's see, Bill has
1. Jeremy (criminal on the run)
2. Abby (dead)
3. JJ (in Africa)
4. Will (in Arizona or New Zealand)
5. Allie (in Arizona or New Zealand)
6. Arianna Grace (great-grandchild) (in Arizona or New Zealand)
7. Henry (great grandchild) (in Arizona or New Zealand)
8. Thomas (great grandchild)
9. Charlotte (great grandchild)
*couldn't remember if Will, Allie, Ari and Henry were still in New Zealand or back in Arizona and living near Victor II and Joseph (Sonny's brothers)

I got the impression it was to remind the audience about Catharina. Fake Abby had just told Chad her real name.
 
Kristen is the most horrible person. I hope when Brady finds out what she is wanting for serum that he can convince her to be human.

Glad Fabigail is over. Chad doesn't seem like he wants to helpful right now. I'm sure that will change. Gotta save Catharina. So sad to hear them talk about John. Sad John's Catharina story won't be able to be resolved.

Exactly, he's lousy with grandkids and they're scattered to the four corners of the earth. His siblings didn't fare much better, either:
Mickey - Nathan - Boston
Mickey - Victoria - she's a child
Addie - Ciara - on the run with a serial killer (joking only, I know he "changed")
Addie - Shawn-Douglas - rehab or something?
Addie - Claire (great-grandchild) - South Africa?
Addie - David - dead
Addie - Eli (great-grandchild) - Washington DC was it?
Addie - Scotty (great-grandchild) - who even knows?
Tommy - doesn't even have grandkids
Marie - Nick - dead

So the only problem I'd have with Konstantin having grandkids in town is that he's too far from the core families. Unless his wife was a niece of Tom's or an affair-produced child of Tommy's!
 
Thanks, robin. You got lucky not getting any of that soap opera stuff today.

We finally have a name for the woman. It's Cat.

Kristen is mean, mean, mean.

Chad is acting like a DiMera telling Cat she's going to pay for what she did.

Chad is lucky his marriage isn't legal since Cat didn't use her correct name.

Poor Brady, he was wearing the same shirt since he got arrested.

I'm glad Brady figured out why Sarah lied to protect him from Xander and she didn't have to tell him.

How long will it take Brady figure out Kristen will only let Sarah have the serum if Xander gives up Titan?
Will Brady help Xander get the serum?

Nice story about John taking his dad on a trip.
