Such a good show! No Body and Soul. Coincidence?
Townhouse. Brady and Eric embrace. Brady thinks Eric for helping him. He can't believe he trusted Fiona, a woman he barely knew, who turned out to be a homicidal maniac. Eric assures him that the right person is behind bars.
Complete replay of Fiona and Sarah. Fiona toasts to her freedom while Sarah scowls.
Replay of Philip coming in to stop the transfer of Titan. He calls Xander "big brother" and says he's there to stop him throwing away their father's legacy.
It's Gabi's cousin Javi at the door. He annoys me right off the jump by proclaiming "He's here, he's queer, and Salem had better get used to it!". Like, no issues with the gay, but much issue with the dumb over the top in your face writing.
Stefan replay chat to Stefano followed by strangle and couch plop. Masked man reveals himself to be Ivan. Vivian comes in and praises his excellent work. Ivan thanks Madame. She points out that they've known each other for years and he can call her Vivian.
Ivan is her loyal servant and would not dream of using her first name. Vivian is just glad they are in cahoots again. She asks him to check if Stefan is breathing. Ivan confirms he still lives. Viv hates to resort to draconian tactics, but this is all for his own good.
Javi and Gabi chit chat about his dead mom and the letter Rafe received. Javi is upset that his mom sent the ring. Rafe is the son she always wanted, while Javi is the son she got.
Fiona tells Sarah that her attorney got EJ to change his mind. She isn't facing any charges. Sarah points out Fiona's crimes of vehicular near homicide followed by attempted murder by stairs. Fiona says that her freedom is all thanks to Sarah.
Philip muses that the last time he was in this room Alex was his new half-brother. He wasn't exactly thrilled that his dad's company was in the hands of that vainglorious jerk, no offense Justin. But Alex is Steve Jobs compared to Xander. He's only been CEO for a few months and he's packing it in and handing it all to Kristen. Once he got wind of this idiotic deal, he had to do all he could to block it. Xander is seething at him throughout this speech while Kristen is looking irritated.
Philip screams that he's Victor's son too. Xander yells but he didn't leave Titan to you! He tells Philip he has no legal right. Philip begs to differ.
Vivian knew the impending divorce was too good to be true. Stefan has a weakness for Gabi Hernandez. She tells inert Stefan that his mama is here to make sure he never falls prey to a cuckolding shrew again.
Gabi doesn't think it was intended to be a slight against Javi. He rightfully feels that way. Gabi says his mom just knew that Rafe would be more likely to give it to a woman. Javi says what if he wanted to give it to a man? Or wear it himself? He tries it on but notes that it's nothing compared to Gabi's rock. Gabi whines that she won't be wearing it much longer as she is about to be divorced.
Fiona explains the confusing testimony from Sarah leading to her release. Sarah points out that only happened so she could save Fiona's son from committing nephew murder. Fiona notes that it was a noble gesture that worked out in her favor. Sarah points out that Brady also remembers.
Brady owes it all to Eric. He flew from Paris to support him, but as grateful as he is to be clear, his conscious is not. If he hadn't been drunk, Fiona would never have been in his car. Eric tells him he needs to forgive himself and stay sober. Brady lets him know that there is a chance for Sarah to walk again. Thanks to Kristen.
Kristen peaces out. She doesn't want to watch Kiriakis family drama. Xander pleads with her, but she takes off, telling him he can keep the first vial, and he can let her know when he's ready to deal for the second.
Xander turns on Philip. He has no rights to Titan. "Father" didn't even put him in his will. Philip says only because Victor was protecting him from his legal troubles. Xander notes that he faked his death and framed Brady. Justin is wondering how he ended up in this family? Philip points out that Brady let him off the hook and now he's able to be alive again and is prepared to assert his rights. Xander says Philip's only right is to watch while he does what he wants. That's what Victor wanted. Philip pulls out a letter and says, actually, it’s not.
The letter appeared at the psych facility right before Victor's death. It conveniently only made it to Philip now. Victor told him that he had made a new will and would have liked the option to leave Titan to him but could not due to him faking being dead. Philip states that he is the rightful heir and it's only by happenstance that he's not. Xander wants to know why he didn't make this claim earlier? Philip reiterates that he did not know about the letter until now. Xander asks Justin if Philip has any legal standing? Justin says enough to block the Titan transfer for now.
Xander changes tactics. He tells Philip about the serum. This is his wife. He appeals to him as his brother. He begs him to drop the lawsuit. Philip says not a chance in hell.
Brady recaps the whole serum for his release saga. Eric is dubious. It seems out of character for Kristen to be generous. Brady says she's full of surprises lately. There is a knock on door and Brady opens it to: Like this one! Says Kristen smugly.
Fiona notes that Brady's drunken recollections are also iffy court material. Sarah reminds her she confessed to her, Xander and Brady. Fiona says but not to the police. And since Fiona didn’t tell the police she was responsible, and didn’t admit to confessing to anybody, she is in the clear. She swills some more alcohol. Sarah is all oh my god.
Javi is recapping the Stefan adultery and Gabi retaliation adultery with her. It's like an episode of Real Housewives. He apologizes for the crack when he sees how sad Gabi is. She is hurting. And not only that, but she is also having second thoughts about ending her marriage. She is still in love with Stefan. Is that stupid? Javi says you can’t choose who you love, if you could, he would have had a far easier time growing up in Texas. He quotes, in Spanish: The heart wants what it wants. Gabi says Stefan wanted the divorce. She's expecting papers any minute. Javi says maybe he will remember the beautiful sexy woman he is married to and forget how to sign his name when it comes to the moment.
Vivian is going over the divorce papers and grousing that they are far too generous. Ivan agrees, especially since Gabi cheated on him with his own brother. She wants to make adjustments, but Ivan cautions her not to raise suspicions. Viv concedes and says she will just sign as Stefan. Ivan queries if she can adequately forge his signature? Vivian notes "forgery happens to be one of my great talents." She signs Stefan O DiMera. Her son is free at last. She returns the pen to Ivan and says “Cahoots!” I love them.
Ivan offers to deliver the papers. Viv wants to do it, discreetly. Viv tells Ivan to take care of her son. They pop Stefan's wedding ring into the envelope. Vivian apologizes to prone Stefan. He will be angry with her one day but it is the best thing he could do for him. Ivan warns her not to linger. Viv tells Stefan she loves him and will see him soon.
Javi has helped Gabi realize she still loves Stefan. Enough about her, what about him? Now that his mom is dead he wants a fresh start. He would like to follow his dreams instead of having then stepped on. His mom is kind of needy and complicated, he means was. God rest her soul. They both do a quick sign of the cross. All he owns is in his car. Gabi invites him to move in. Rafe will love it! Javi says even if he's wearing his ring. Gabi says as long as he is only borrowing it, it's cool. He says they will have so much fun! Javi needs to job hunt. Gabi has the best idea, come work for her.
