Leo is on again
Titan offices. Philip is on the phone with unseen Kate. He's saying he's unsure if they got through to Sarah. Xander probably knows he's an heir pretender. He also knows how to aim a gun. So he's just waiting for him to come through the door and shoot him dead. And enter Xander, looking threatening.
Stephanie is reading a Spectator article about the Kiriakis brothers sharing Titan. She grouses that Philip has no right to it. Phone rings and unseen Abe updates her about Rafe going to Rochester. Stephanie wonders why Paulina is funding this since it's Leo's problem? He should spend some of his head writer salary on it.
Leo is still with Javi and the I love Rochester shirt looking for Rafe
Jada is still accusing EJ of doing something to Rafe. He refuses to go to the station with her. Arnold emerges from the tunnels and Jada loses it.
Arnold asks why Jada is here? She has been trying to reach him for days. And Steve says he did not send him on any undercover mission. She accuses EJ of being up to something with Rafe. She demands answers. Arnold splutters that its time to tell the truth. EJ looks anguished.
Philip tells Kate it was nice knowing her. He greets Xander cautiously. Xander says he has something for him and unzips his bag. Philip looks like he's unzipping his bowels. Xander pulls out a croissant from Sweet Bits. Philip asks if it's poisoned? Xander says it's a peace offering.
Sarah is now with Stephanie. She asks if Xander is thrilled to have his fortune back and/or is he plotting Philip's murder. Sarah says neither as she didn't tell him. She wanted to talk to Philip first. She recaps her encounter with Kate and Philip. She cites her own mental illness history and that she came around to their argument that Victor would have wanted this. She decided to keep the secret.
Kerry has run into Gabi. She notes he has no sweatshirt. They talk about the wedding planning. Gabi wishes Javi was as interested in his paying job. Kerry complains about Leo.
Leo asks Javi and the sweatshirt to let Rafe know he stopped by. He has new information on the Lady Whistleblower case. They figured out where she might be from. We pan to the stupid Rochester shirt again in case you have forgotten.
Arnold and his dog tags jingle out a confession. EJ warns him but Arnold says Steve didn't send him on a case. EJ blurts out he hired him. He then spins a story about wanting Sloan tracked down. It's an outrage she never paid for snagging Jude. Jada says Eric is the one who deserves justice. EJ has time on his hands and Sloan made a fool of him and blew up his life. So he hired Rafe. Jada asks Arnold why he would lie to her?
Speaking of lies, Stephanie is shocked that Sarah would lie to Xander. Sarah says it's a lie by omission. Stephanie points out it's a huge deal. Sarah says it's not just because she feels bad for Philip. She hates the idea of Xander having unchecked power. She recounts Philip stopping him from pursuing a hostile takeover of DiMera. Stephanie knows from experience that's a seriously bad idea. Sarah says Philip specifically didn't want Stephanie caught in the crossfire. Sarah says Philip isn't level headed but as it stands Xander has to go through him before he can make impulsive decisions and that can only be good for all.
Stephanie says so Philip is a roadblock. Sarah replies he's going to slow Xander down and speak to his better angels. She notes Stephanie wondered if Xander had murdered Philip yet. Sarah would not put it past him to lash out if he found out the truth. She says that the situation has been fraught since Xander found out about the will. She needs to know what Stephanie thinks. Will she keep the secret?
Philip regards the bag suspiciously. He wants to know why the peace offering? Xander tells him about his talk with Maggie. She made the argument that Victor would have wanted them to work together. Or he would not have written The Letter. He's decided to work in harmony with Philip and hopes he will do the same. He wonders why Philip was telling his mum about Xander wanting to kill him? When he walked in all the color drained out of his face. Philip looked like he was bracing for him to pull out a revolver rather than a croissant. What's up with that?
Philip says he was telling Kate about the DiMera deal he squashed. He says he has a right to be nervous given recent history. Xander says his emotions were running high that day and he regrets it but he's not going to fly into a psychotic rage over a business deal. He wants things to work. He needs it to. They are stuck together forever. He wasn't happy but Sarah thought he was right to block the DiMera deal. Sarah is his voice of reason. He trusts her instincts. Now is Philip on board to make this work? No more scheming or machinations? Xander wants a true 50/50 partnership. Philip says he wants to come clean. He's sorry they got off to a rocky start. But that's not what he's most sorry about. If the show thinks for a minute I'm supposed to believe he's going to fess up they truly do think their audience is stupid.
Sarah continues her weak arguments to keep things quiet. Stephanie says she will feel like a willing accomplice but she also doesn't want Philip in jail or pounded to a pulp by Xander. She will defer to Sarah as Xander's wife and keep the secret.
Leo and Javi continue their boring conversation. Javi is appalled at how mean Lady W is about Leo and hopes someone murders her in print.
Gabi and Kerry bond over their mutual Leo dislike. Kerry tells her that Javi and Leo are friendly again. He says Leo has a reputation for jumping on anything that moves so he's probably already making a move on Javi. Gabi says over her dead body.
Arnold tells Jada he's sorry but EJ told him to keep things on the down low because she's the police. He keeps going with a lame recounting of the story. He has to prove himself (to Steve and John). He wants to wait until he has a solid lead. EJ tries to help by pointing out how sneaky Sloan is. Jada asks why he's looking for her in the secret room? He hasn't come home since New year's. Why is he hiding out here?
