Kmansion - Alex feels he's the logical choice. Maggie says he was until Vic received a call from Leo Stark. Alex's sexcapades could be bad optics. Run-through of some other Kiriakii who've abdicated or to whom Alex would loathe reporting. Maggie is CEO. She wants him to be #2 and teach her the ropes (despite her bravado that being married to Vic and owning two restaurants qualified her to be CEO). Alex calls Vic to confirm. Alex continues to be snide. Maggie points out she once ran a farm. Alex still doubts her skill. She jokes about firing him to improve his loyalty and demonstrate her credibility as CEO. They toast.
Salem Inn Twin Bed Room - Leo is talking about being a whore at university (Gwen's summary). Gwen is worrying about Xander's love for Sarah. Leo is sure that Xander will declare feelings for Gwen very soon. Knock, knock. It's Jack. He gives Gwen the keys. Leo cracks jokes. Jack wants to talk to Gwen. He and Jennifer "spent decades" (insert snort here) building a trustworthy paper. He wants Gwen to keep it classy. He and Jennifer are returning to Boston to run their other paper. Jack and Gwen rehash how they got here. Jack says they won't be able to disappoint each other if they're not in each other's lives. Jack will always love her and hopes that distance will make loving each other easier. He hopes she finds the happiness she seeks. (Both actors are selling this, pretty good scenes.) Jack leaves.
Not the Salem Inn - Justin tells Xander there was a problem with the paperwork and Xander and Sarah are still married. Some clerk misplaced the files so it never went through. New papers are to be signed. Xander wants to read them first.
Hospital - Sarah tells Rex she's pregnant. He's happy. "We're having a baby," the genius states. He's happy because he was just talking to Emily about this. Rex also thinks this will make his relationship better. Sarah has to slowly explain that Xander is the bio-dad. (She and Rex slept together the day before Valentine's Day.) Sarah doesn't know what she wants to do. Rex offers her a fresh start in Chicago, where he's already gotten her hired as a doctor. Sarah likes the offer but doesn't want Rex to over-read the situation. Rex isn't/won't even though he already did once. Xander walks in (but didn't hear anything) and wants to speak to Sarah alone. Rex blusters. Sarah shoos him. Xander explains their situation. He has more papers, asks if Sarah's sure this is what she wants. Maybe the universe is telling them to remain married? Sarah gulps.
Horton House - Julie is home from a cruise. Jennifer is thrilled to see her. Julie wants to know when Jennifer lost her mind. Jennifer says they were blackmailed. Julie knows about the hit and run. Jennifer is shocked. Julie recounts the figgy pudding fight with Gwen. Julie plans to run Gwen down herself. Jennifer stops her. She wants to cut their losses. Julie blames Jack "not keeping it in his pants" as Jack walks in. They tell Julie they're leaving. Julie plans to keep tabs on Gwen.
Square - Gwen and Leo are eating. Leo has one-liners but Gwen isn't worried about her food. She's worried she gave up her daddy for a man who doesn't even love her. Leo tries to pep talk her about the divorce. Justin wanders over and explains the situation. Leo continues to try to reassure Gwen, Justin keeps shooting him down. Justin thinks Xander's reconsidering. He takes one of Leo's fries (or something) and leaves.
Hospital - Sarah thinks Xander is scamming her. He's not. Sarah says the universe is telling them through her Chicago job offer to go their separate ways. She's teary. She signs, he signs. She'll file them before she leaves. Xander realizes this is goodbye.
Horton House - Jack and Jennifer say goodbye to the house. (Julie gave them her leis from the cruise.) This will always be their home. They leave.
Square - Leo spots Xander and calls him over. Xander tells them the papers are signed and Sarah is leaving with Rex Brady. Leo can't contain his joy for his friend.
Kmansion - Justin walks in on the toast and assumes Alex is CEO. He learns Alex is reporting to Aunt Maggie.
Hospital - Rex learns that Sarah didn't tell Xander about the pregnancy but is taking the job. They review the Emily and Mackenzie story flops. Sarah needs some space and time to think about it without Xander around. Rex claims he understands this. She's going ahead with her plan to leave Salem. END
