Giant Hospital Establishing shot. Gabi is still in hospital, leafing through a magazine. WEDDINGS, she says in disgust and hurls the magazine, narrowly missing Melinda, who is entering the room. Gabi has a distractingly happy juice box sitting on the table. Melinda is just checking in. She was sure Gabi was a goner. Gabi is doing fine and about to be released. Melinda is not just checking in though. She has an ulterior motive.
Stefan at the DiMansion fiddling with his wedding ring. A cheerful EJ enters saying “Bonjour, mon frère! Join me for a tipple?” (I love him) Stefan is grim. EJ continues he knows that Stefan will be thinking it is barely noon, but a drink will dilute his salty disposition. Stefan wants to know why EJ is so jolly? EJ is thrilled that Brady is getting his just deserts. He lets out a woohoo.
Dour-faced whisper Eric is telling Brady the good news about Holly going to Paris. They both complain about EJ. Eric doesn’t like him cozying up to Holly. Brady is determined to plead guilty at his hearing tomorrow.
Sarah is trying to retrieve a toy from under the couch while an unseen, but AWAKE, Victoria wails. She is frustrated. Fiona is lurking in the doorway watching.
Titan establishing shot. Xander, fine in a blue suit, is barking down the phone at a minion. Kristen sashays in and asks when he is getting Brady out of jail? Xander says "How about never? Does that work for you?"
Gabi wonders what the ulterior motive is? Melinda pulls out an envelope of stuff to sign from Gabi Chic. Also, Stefan asked her to draw up divorce papers. Melinda says she will turn him down if Gabi says the word.
Stefan says EJ enjoys putting people behind bars and sleeping with people’s wives. EJ points out that Gabi came on to him. Stefan said a person with moral fiber would have turned her down. "Oh well, all moot now" says EJ. Especially since they are getting divorced. Gabi told him about it when he saw her last night. Big smirk.
Now Sarah’s phone is ringing and she can’t reach it. She is in tears. Fiona comes in to help. She gets the offending toy and gives it to Victoria who gratefully stops bawling. Fiona goes to comfort Sarah.
Brady said EJ offered him ten years in exchange for a guilty plea. Brady's fine with it, he doesn’t want a trial. He just wants to pay for what he did.
Kristen is not sure she made herself clear. Sarah only gets out of the wheelchair if Brady goes free. She will turn over the formula and Sarah will be running marathons. Xander says it is an intriguing offer, but why should he believe anything she says?
Stefan wants to know why EJ visited Gabi? EJ wanted to tell Gabi about Rafe threatening him. They all have to live in the same house so he wants to promote harmony. Stefan thinks Gabi will want nothing to do with EJ now their marriage has tanked and she no longer needs revenge sex, and EJ should heed Rafe’s advice and stay away from her. EJ notes that it was Stefan who filed for divorce, so why should he care if EJ stays away from her?
Gabi knew about Stefan filing. She tells Melinda to go ahead and rep Stefan. That’s it. That’s the scene.
Brady muses about being alive with Daniel’s heart beating in his chest. He squandered that gift. Eric says he still has a future and can atone for the things he did. Brady does not feel like the guilt will go away any time soon. Eric says he will learn to live with it.
Sarah doesn’t know what she would have done without Fiona. She told Maggie she would be fine on her own, but clearly she is not. Fiona says a cranky toddler will cry and shriek, it is what they do. Victoria will toss the toy as many times as Sarah will retrieve it, she is at that testing phase. Sarah sobs that she is failing the test. Fiona says she is not failing anything. She admires Sarah’s courage and pluck.
Fiona says how Sarah carries herself is remarkable. She is so sorry. She and Brady was a tragic mistake. Sarah tells her that she and Xander are so grateful to her for her help in this difficult time. And also thanks for not telling anybody she lied to the police. Fiona notes that the lie saved both Brady and Xander. Sarah would never have ID’d Brady if she had any doubt. She wishes she could remember seeing him. Fiona looks twitchy. Victoria has gone to sleep. Sarah tells Fiona she needs time alone with her to prove she can do it by herself. Fiona goes, but she stays outside and hears Sarah cry.
Xander thinks Kristen is insane. He is not letting Dr Rolf use Sarah as a guinea pig. Especially if he doesn’t believe the cure even exists. Kristen asserts that it does. Rolf has been working on it around the clock and it is just about ready. Xander asks why he would ever trust her? Kristen says that Rolf is somewhat eccentric, but he is a genius, citing Rolf’s curing of Marlena, Kate and Kayla, Bo’s brain tumor shrinkage, and keeping Stefan alive for years without a heart.
Xander says Fine. If it exists, take him to Rolf’s lab, show him proof. Kristen says so he can get his thugs to grab the formula and take it away? She will provide him with data that Sarah can look over, and the actual formula as soon as Brady’s charges go "poof". Xander asks how he is meant to achieve that? Kristen says that Brady was free and clear until Sarah made her bogus claim about him. She needs to recant. Or she will never walk again. And it will be all Xander’s fault. Kristen knows how to work him. His face shows her words have hit home.
Stefan still cares about Gabi. He doesn’t want her linked to an *bleep* like EJ. EJ says that is not his jurisdiction anymore, and besides, they all have to live together. He notes that divorces can get messy. Stefan says they talked, and he would not be surprised if Gabi never showed up in this house (Gabi enters) again. Soap stares.
Eric is now at the pub boring Roman. He is upset about the ten year sentence Brady is eager to accept. Roman says that Brady is ok with it. Eric knows there is more to the story. He is convinced.
Sarah is still wiping tears as Xander comes home. He wants to know what is wrong? Sarah recounts Victoria tossing her toy and Fiona rescuing her. Xander is so sorry. Sarah hates it. She hates how helpless she felt, and how she couldn’t be a mother. Xander starts on about her being the best mum ever, but Sarah is not in the mood for a pep talk. She says plenty of people with disabilities raise children, it is a fact of life now, she is disabled and there is nothing she can do about it. Xander tells her that is not necessarily true.
Fiona comes to visit Brady. He is surprised. He thought that the last time they saw each other was a definitive goodbye. By the way, he is still in his salmon shirt and white jacket from the night of his arrest. He seems to live in this room. Has he been washed or fed in the many days that have passed? Xander is on his second suit. Gabi has had a million visitors and fled the hospital. Even Rafe was discharged. Has Brady even had a bathroom break? Anyhow, Fiona says that things are different. Last time she saw him she thought he was going free, but now he is going to prison. Brady wants to know how that changes anything? Fiona tells him she has a confession to make.
