Kiriakis Mansion: The Foyer

Kiriakis Mansion: Victor's Study

Victor asks Kate if she really thinks he is threatened by the likes of Clyde Weston. In either respect. He learned long ago that she was too ambitious in the boardroom and the bedroom to ever be satisfied long with one man. Kate slaps him.

Brady's Pub

Melanie stands outside, nervously checking her hair in her phone. She starts applying lipstick when she hears a man's voice talking low. She walks through the alley to the old pier. She sees a guy. It's Clint. She saw him with Theresa. Whoever he is talking to, he clearly doesn't want to be overheard.

Meanwhile Brady shows up ayt the Pub, He doesn't see her, so he goes inside. He asks Pete if Melanie has shown up. Brady is thinking she may have hit the restroom while she waiting for him. He is running a little late. Pete shakes his head no. Perhaps she's running a little late, too. Brady checks his phone...

Nicole's Office @ Titan TV

Nicole is pacing. Hope tells her to stop doing that. It makes her crazy. Nicole can't help it. She's anxious. Hope is, too. Hope's phone rings. Nicole tells her to answer it quickly. Hope answers, “Detective Brady.” A friendly voice answers. “I heard you wanted to to speak with me. What can I do for you?” Harold smiles on the other end of the phone.

Will and Sonny's Apartment

Will comes home from the office to find grandma Marlena tending to Arianna. Marlena tells the baby girl to look at who is home. Will gratefully take Arianna into his arms and soaks it in when she clings to close to him. Marlena can see that he missed his daughter. Will said he's had a long day. Marlena hopes that's all it is.

DiMera Mansion: The Study

Chad is on the phone with his investors. Her promises them that the numbers have only just started to climb with him as co-chair of DiMera Enterprises. With a smile Chad hangs up. That smile fades when he sees Jordan in the doorway. She says that Harold let her in. He thinks they need to have a little chat.

Kiriakis Mansion: The Foyer

Sonny says he was just dropping something off for his mom for the scrapbook she's making his dad while he's away in Dubai. He has to rush out, though. There's lots of work to do at the club. He asks Maggie to say hi to everyone for her. She will. He leaves. Maggie looks disturbed as she stands alone in the foyer and glances at the stairs. Something about Sonny's demeanor is troubling her...

Kiriakis Mansion: Victor's Study

Victor is glad she got that out of her system. Now she can get out. Kate refuses to leave until Victor sees reason. Does he want her to tell Maggie that he hasn't completely cleaned up his act. Victor says that if he had any involvement with Clyde Weston's shooting, he would have been doing Salem a big favor. One of the games Victor has not been in for a long time Clyde has been more than happy to pick up slack on: drugs. Just like that sleaze ex of yours, Curtis. In case Kate has forgotten, also, his grandson just struggled through a relapse of coke and binge drinking. Kate thinks that's why Victor kicked her and Clyde out of his precious club the other night. Victor states that the owner of a new establishment may choose not to cater to certain clientele. Kate insists that Clyde is nothing like Curtis, who was broke scum, a low life alcoholic who beat her and Billie and Austin. So Clyde can hide behind money and pretty talk. Victor tells Kate if that she really digs, she will see Weston for what he is, just like Victor does. Maggie opens the door. “Is there a problem here?” she asks.

The Pier

Melanie gets closer, sneaking behind a box. She can hear his words now. “Word is Weston will be back on his feet in a few days. Yeah, no memory of getting shot, lucky for you.” Clint thinks he hears something. It's Melanie's phone. He tells whoever he is talking to that their conversation isn't private. He hangs up. Behind the box, Melanie is quietly freaking out about her phone and knows she has no time to hide, so she tries to think of a cover story. She takes off her earring. Just then, Clint finds Melanie. He asks her what she's doing hiding behind this box, eavesdropping. Melanie apologizes. She lies about having dropped her earring. He asks if she is going to answer her phone. She doesn't want to be rude. He insists. She does. It's Brady. Melanie apologizes and says that she is running a little late. She'll be right there. When she hangs up, Clint warns her that it's not safe on the docks these days. She might want to get out of here. Melanie says she will. Before she does, he urges her that if she overheard anything that she should have to forget it. In his work, privacy and confidentiality is very important and that phone call definitely falls into that jurisdiction, Melanie understands. She works at the hospital. She decides to go. He watches her. When she's gone, he chides himself. He has to be more careful.

Brady's Pub

After hanging up from Melanie, Brady looks at his phone. Something seemed off about her on the phone just then and he doesn't know what. After a few moments, Melanie comes into the pub. Brady wonders where she has been. Melanie apologizes. She was here before he was. Then where did she go. Melanie asks Brady if he remembers that guy Clint? The guy he saw Theresa with at the hospital. Brady does. She overheard him on the phone at the docks. She thinks he might be connected to Clyde Weston. You know, the guy who was just shot. Brady asks her if she is telling him that she is worried about Theresa's safety on their first date.

Nicole's Office @ Titan TV

Hope is glad that Harold got back to her. She wonders if he can be of help to her. Her nephew is dating this woman by the name of Serena Mason. A source gave her the heads up on some potentially illegal activity connected to her time at the Tribune. Harold apologizes to Hope. He is not at liberty to discuss former employees. His hands are tied by all kinds of policies. Hope asks if he can confirm or deny a story she has been told, with heavy evidence to support it. Harold cannot make any promises, but he will listen to Hope. Nicole watches Hope anxiously.

Will and Sonny's Apartment

Will hopes that he's not about to be psychoanalyzed by his grandmother. Marlena tells him that she's off the clock with a laugh. He wonders where John is. Marlena tells him he's working. Will is glad to hear that Basic Black has him staying in town. Not Basic Black. He's gone back to work for the Salem PD. Will wonders if Marlena is okay with that. Marlena says it is what he needs to do with his life. Of course it's scary, but that is just life. And both of their lives were in danger regardless of him being a cop or a businessman, so what difference does it make to her. Will wishes that Sonny had been more open to his ambitions as a writer. Marlena tells Will to give Sonny time. She is worried about him and Sonny. Will sighs and tells his grandmother that they'll figure things out. Marlena presses, inferring that they are having problems, then. Will gives Marlena an all too familiar look. It's the same look Sami used to give her when she didn't want her to press any harder. Usually that was because Sami was hiding something. Will says that he is going to put Arianna to bed. Marlena tells Will that he is evading her. He hasn't done since he was struggling with accepting the fact that he is gay. To get her off his back, Will tells Marlena that he has just been stressed keeping this high profile interviewee secret from everyone. It's no big deal. Marlena hopes Will knows that he can talk to her about anything. There is nothing that would make her judge him. He knows. He leaves the room to put Arianna to bed.

DiMera Mansion: The Study

Chad asks how her stepfather is. Jordan says that Clyde is going to live to torture her and her brother another day. He is sure she's a little disappointed. Jordan says that she's not that kind of person. No matter what Clyde did to her, she could not wish ill on him. Chad asks Jordan to correct him if he's wrong, but did she not pull a gun on him in his hotel room when she found him with Kate. Jordan says that is a touchy subject. Because of Rafe? Chad asks. Jordan admits that yes. She may have moved on, but it's still a healing wound. Chad asks if that's why she kissed Rafe. Was that an act of healing?

Kiriakis Mansion: Victor's Study

Victor tells his wife gleefully that Kate was just leaving. Kate says that she will see herself out. Maggie notes that Kate didn't seem terribly happy. Victor wonders how much she heard. Maggie asks if there is something she shouldn't have heard. Victor has no secrets from her. Maggie asks Victor if he put a hit out on Clyde.

Brady's Pub

Melanie laughs at the prospect. She insists that is not it. Brady tells her that he thinks this is a bad idea. She thinks he is hung up on Theresa, doesn't she? Melanie insists she doesn't. Brady says that her father thinks so, too, and that's one of the reasons he doesn't approve of, of this. Brady is wondering if maybe Daniel and Maggie are right. Maybe Brady is not in the right place to be seeing someone. He's not thinking clearly. How can he be? Melanie tells Brady to wait, but he storms out.

Nicole's Office @ Titan TV

Hope hangs up. It's a deadend. Harold's hands are tied by confidentiality policies. She thinks that Harold knows something, but they are not going to get it out of him. Nicole wonders if she can convince Jennifer to try. Hope cautions Nicole about pushing this. Nicole complains to Hope that she was so close. What is she supposed to do, just let Serena waltz into Eric's life and tear it into pieces again. Followed closely by Kristen and Nicole, Hope points out. Nicole admits she screwed up. Old news. Maybe, just maybe, she is trying to make amends. Not that she expects any credit from her. Hope apologizes. She was being unfair. It's an easy habit to fall into with Nicole. Nicole knows that Nicole's history paints a picture and it's not pretty. Maybe, Hope says, but she can see that Nicole still care very deeply for Eric. Hope asks Nicole is she is doing this to get Eric back. Get him back? Nicole asks. If she is honest with herself, she never really had him. And she doesn't have hope that she ever will. If Serena Mason were some great girl, she could be happy for them. At least a little. Of course, the envy monster would also be consuming her. Hope recalls how Nicole tried to spin things in her favor to come between Greta abd Eric. Nicole insists that she has grown a lot since. Hope admits it was a lifetime ago, and that Nicole seems to be acting so selflessly. Hope's not used to it. Neither is Nicole.

Will and Sonny's Apartment

Marlena offers to stay here so Will can go visit Sonny at the club. Will thinks that he will stay here and be a good father. He has head too few chances to do that lately. Marlena hopes that he'll take some time to be a good husband, too. Will tells his grandmother to get off his back about Sonny. He is sorry, but he doesn't need anyone else to give him advice about the problems they are having. Marlena wonders who else has been giving him advice. Will says never mind. Just go home and don't worry about him, or Sonny. They will be okay. Marlena will do that, as long Will promises her that he is okay. Will says that he will be. It's just been a tough little while for everyone. Marlena hugs Will goodbye.

DiMera Mansion: The Study

Jordan is stunned. Before she can say anything, Chad says that he saw them. He brought her flowers and was going to surprise her. Instead, he was the one being surprised. Jordan wants to explain. Rafe surprised her with that kiss. Chad notes that she wasn't pushing him away. Jordan says that she did push him away. It must have been after Chad left. Jordan wonders if this is why he got into it with Ben. Was this his way of getting back at her? Chad admits he was hurt. He thought what they were doing meant something to her. Whether Jordan wants to admit it or not, she wanted that kiss. Jordan asks Chad if that's it, then. Are they done? Chad says that he is not going to be second best, least of all to Hernandez. He's a DiMera. He won't be made a fool. He's been down that road too many times.
