Alex, still shirtless, is talking to unseen Joy thanking her for looking after him and assuring her he will keep her secret. He opens the door to Stephanie
At the pub, Justin and Steve are loading up food for the food bank. Kate joins them and they talk about sick Roman, the cupcakes, and how Hattie is being assumed to be the culprit. Kate excuses herself to go do something.
Philip, shirtless, answers the phone to an unknown caller. It's Statesville prison and Vivian on the line.
Maggie is at the hospital. Sarah's room is empty. She can't find Xander. Does Kayla know where she is?
Bonnie is at the K-Mansion when Xander comes in. She enthuses about Sarah and asks how she is? Xander says she can see for herself. Sarah enters, still wobbly on a cane.
Kayla tells Maggie that Sarah was just discharged and is already home by now. She wanted to surprise Maggie. Kayla thought the best medicine for Sarah would be to go home to spend Thanksgiving with her family. Kayla is so proud of Sarah and happy she could be part of this. Maggie rushes home.
Bonnie almost knocks over Sarah but Xander cautions her that Sarah is still getting her legs back. Bonnie knows how Sarah feels because Kassandra had a similar experience when she was injected with the begonia serum. Sarah doesn't watch Body and Soul any more than I do and is confused. Bonnie explains but nobody cares. Bonnie agrees it sounds stupid. Xander wants to get Sarah upstairs to see Victoria. Bonnie goes to set the table for two more. She might cry. Sarah is also emotional. Xander feels it too. Sarah tells him before they get all weepy, then kisses him.
Stephanie is excited to see Alex is better. She wanted to say happy turkey day and brought him soup. She worries that Joy is still there. Alex says she took off. Stephanie notes that Alex has a new friend. Alex says Stephanie must be busy with the cupcakes and leaked storylines. Stephanie tells him she has a new client. Philip.
Philip is telling unseen Vivian he is sorry she's in prison but he is aware that he owes her for forging the letter and she will still get her cut. Kate is at the door and he hangs up. Philip grouses that he is not having a happy Thanksgiving.
Kate guesses that Philip heard from Vivian. She did too but refused the call. Philip reminds her that Vivian is still part of this scheme. Kate says Vivian is going to get 25 to life. Philip reminds her that if Vivian blabs about the letter he will be in prison right beside her. Kate wishes he'd never got involved with Vivian. Philip says that they just need to string her along while they fight it out in court. Kate notes that is quite a battle since Xander has Victor's legitimate will on his side. That's why Philip brought in reinforcements.
Alex wants to know why Philip hired Stephanie? She says Philip believes Titan is his birthright and if circumstances had been different he would have been named Victor's heir. Her job is to sway the court of public opinion. Alex says he knows the will backwards and forwards and Uncle Vic made his wishes crystal clear. He left full control of Titan to Xander.
Stephanie says that the public doesn't know that Philip is in possession of a letter from Victor that states that had Philip not been presumed dead at the time the will was probated, Victor would have left Titan to him. Alex says, but he didn't. Stephanie whines that Alex seems to be team Xander. Alex says he is team Sanity. Xander is the heir, end of story. He hopes Stephanie is being paid well for being team Philip. Stephanie says it's not about money. She and Philip have a history.
Steve asks Justin if he thought he'd spend Thanksgiving elbow deep in canned peas and frozen turkey? Justin is happy to help. He has been thinking about Adrienne a lot. If she was around then, she and Jo and Duke would be around. I had to rewind here. Duke?? He raped Adrienne and she shot him and Steve went to jail for it. On what planet are they remembering him fondly??
But talk has turned to Chad now and how his Thanksgiving must suck. Steve wants Justin's take on the Cat Greene situation. Why would Chad set her free? Justin gets a text. He may need a donation bag. Bonnie has been promoted to head chef at the K-Mansion
Maggie is home. Bonnie is in an apron. They chit chat about Sarah and hug. Henderson ate Bonnie's cupcake and is in bed. Bonnie has always wanted to make a full turkey dinner. Predictably, the fire alarm goes off and Maggie smells burning
Upstairs, Victoria is not on the ten minutes a day she is awake so her parents are in their room waiting for her to wake. Sarah can't wait to chase her around. She knows she would have had a good life even without the cure, but it was a wonderful gift. And to think, Rolf made it happen. They owe him. And they owe Brady a lot. Xander points out that he was ready to give up Titan to do it. But now he has to deal with the spoiled screw up trying to take what's rightfully his. He tells Sarah Philip will come to regret it.
Kate thinks a PR angle is good. Philip says that when they go to court he is more likely to have a sympathetic jury. Kate says the story is prodigal son returning vs interloper with a criminal record. She thinks at the very least Xander will make a deal. Philip doesn't want a deal. He thinks Titan is his right. Kate thinks involving Stephanie is a bad idea.
Alex didn't know that Philip and Stephanie had a history. Stephanie tells him they were engaged. Alex had no clue. Stephanie says it's not like Alex and Philip were close. He assumes she broke it off after she came to her senses. Stephanie tells him she made Philip pick between her and Victor. Alex revered Victor when he thought he was his son but he is appalled. He reminds himself he's team Sanity. Stephanie doesn't think Philip is out of his mind. He's a decent guy. She has regrets about things. Alex worries she wants to get back together with him.
Bonnie has ruined dinner. Maggie soothes that it was just a small fire. Bonnie will fix everything. She will do a meal of stuffing and potatoes. Maggie says it's all fine. Sarah is home and they don't need a turkey. All they need is each other.
Kayla is at the pub. Bonnie calls Justin to report an incident with dinner. Justin offers to get pizza. Kayla tells him to just invite the Kiriakis clan to join them at the pub.
Sarah worries that Xander might go after Philip the way he went after Brady. Xander has learned his lesson. He apologized to Brady and they are now on good terms. His battle with Philip will be in court, with Justin's help. It might get messy but what family dispute doesn't? He will be cool calm and collected cause her fate is not tied to his company. All that matters is her recovery. The other stuff doesn't as he has everything he needs right here. She tells him she loves him. He loves her too. Sarah asks if he smells smoke? Xander does not, but he does see a smoking hot wife. Sarah likes that and kisses him.
