JJ flashes back to yesterday, and his mom walking in on him and Eve in the hotel room. Then, Rory knocks at the door, JJ opens it, lets him in, smalltalk, chatter about Roxanne, Rory notices that JJ looks upset. He mentions that Roxanne went back to Chicago, Rory asks if she has a friend or sister (lol). He tries to make small talk, but JJ is not interested in anything. Rory talks of how JJ has been a downer since dumping Paige (tell me about it!), and Rory doesn't understand it. They start to argue, Rory tells JJ to man up, live with the decisions he made, and stop bringing everyone else down (Amen!). He leaves. JJ is moping in the chair in the living room. Jennifer comes in, tells JJ she has something to tell him...something that changes everything. In the Square, Paige walks up with 2 cups of coffee, sits down with Eve, knows something happened with Jennifer. Eve decides to tell Paige what they were talking about. Eve keeps babbling, Melanie-style. Paige tells her mom to just blurt it out already. Eve says this is big and about JJ. Something about being mad about Grandpa Shane and the lie, Paige told her about it, needed someone "nice" to talk to. Some chit chat about Roxanne, Eve says she can't stand to be around Jennifer, but she's staying in Salem, will always be there for her daughter. She hopes someday, Paige will forgive what she did. Paige must study for her calculus exam, Eve says she is proud of Paige. Paige says she can never hate Eve, even if she is still mad about the LA thing. Paige doesn't want Eve to worry about fighting with Jennifer, she keeps whining about JJ hooking up with someone else. In the Horton House, JJ thinks Jennifer told Paige, but she says no, and neither will Eve. Jennifer mentions how keeping secrets just end up hurting, and eventually they find a way out. But she mentions how Eve won't say anything if JJ wants to go talk to Paige and reunite. But it's about what JJ wants, not anyone else. Jennifer still thinks JJ should be honest with Paige, but he can't. JJ wants another chance with Paige, thinks she'll never find out. Jennifer warns him that the secret will come out at some point, but JJ doesn't listen. He hugs Jennifer, thanking her, but she wants him to think. He believes it'll work, knows it will.
Earlier, Paige walks up, Jennifer and Eve are talking over each other, have reached an agreement. Paige thinks they're acting weird. Eve asks Paige to let Jennifer and her talk alone. Paige and that ugly blue dress she's wearing walk to the corner to check her texts. Eve tells Jennifer that Paige will never forgive JJ anyways. Jennifer says for the first time, let it be their choice. Eve thinks that JJ will find someone else. Jennifer thinks Paige deserves to know the truth, even if it hurts her. Eve thinks she only cares about being "holier-than-thou", not protecting her daughter. Jennifer reminds Eve that she has the power now, this is bigger than themselves. Jennifer reminds Eve of what she did, how serious this is, their past. More arguing and the same chit-chat.
Lucas calls Adrienne, wants to know something about Sonny and Will, they talk on the phone, she offers to come over to help him watch Arianna. He knows where everything is, but wants to know why Sonny left town. Outside the Kiriakis foyer, Justin is eavesdropping. Adrienne mentions how Sonny went to Phoenix, but Lucas thinks something else is amiss. They chat more, Adrienne thinks everything will be fine, but Lucas doesn't think she really believes that. Adrienne thinks Sonny needs to heal away from Salem. Adrienne says she wishes she could be there with Lucas, holding the baby, seeing a friendly face. She's near tears, Lucas asks if she is OK, but she has to go, is fine, hangs up. Justin shows up and they face each other. Adrienne decides to leave for a bit, Justin wants to talk, but Adrienne makes a snide remark about Elsa from Dubai. They start to argue, Justin has told her nothing. Justin claims it was just business, but Adrienne thinks that's not true, what's keeping him here, Sonny left town anyways. Justin can't answer, but then gets a phone call. Adrienne says "oh, so you can't answer me, but you HAVE to answer Elsa, huh?" She leaves, but Justin doesn't answer, he just leaves. Lucas opens the door to Justin, who walks in, thinks Adrienne is with the baby. Justin overheard the phone conversation, Adrienne wouldn't talk. Lucas says she isn't here, wonders why Justin didn't bother to ask where she went, thinks Adrienne is tired of hearing the "same ol' same ol'". Justin thinks maybe she has someone trying to convince her that he isn't worth listening to.
Will angrily knocks on the hotel door, Paul answers shirtless, Will yells at him for still being in town (so Will didn't know for sure, yet knocked on this door; what if it was another guest? Sorry, Will is being really annoying today). Paul lets him in, puts a shirt on, informs him that he's about to "do lunch" with his mom. Will thinks Paul brought Tori to town so they can settle in and Paul can get back with Sonny. Will is mad because Paul still loves his hubby, Will won't lose Sonny, to Paul or anyone else. Paul tells Will he's changed. Before, Will was the confident one. Now, he's insecure. Paul really tells him off now. Will mentions how Paul flirted the first day they met, Paul says Will flirted right back, being married to Sonny mustn't have mattered that much back then. Paul mentions how Will didn't wear his wedding ring, nothing would stop him from his article. Will says that's not true, but Paul knows better. Paul thinks Will knew the whole time that Paul was gay, moves closer and intimidates him. They continue talking, Paul mentions that he didn't force Will to sleep with him, Paul wasn't the one who cheated. Will is whining, wishes he never met Paul. Will tells Paul that Sonny went to Phoenix to escape from Paul. Paul says that isn't true, Will is being paranoid. Will wonders why Paul is staying in Salem, Paul mentions having therapy sessions still. Will keeps yelling at Paul about leaving. Paul asks Will what Sonny told him before leaving. Will says it isn't Paul's business, but Paul thinks it is, since Will dropped by to see him. Will tells Paul to get this into his head: Paul has no chance at getting back with Sonny. Paul goes off on Will, doesn't know why they're fighting, thought they were friends. Will whines about how Sonny proposed to him, Paul mentions it was years ago. He apologized, doesn't know what more he can do. Will tells Paul to say he doesn't love Sonny or want him back. Both are near tears. Paul tells Will to leave so he can meet his mom. Will wants Paul to understand, he and Sonny can't work through this while Paul is in town. Paul thinks he might be gone by the time Sonny arrives, but Will says that might not be the case. Will says they are married, have a daughter, a life, a future, says Paul did enough damage. Paul tells Will to at least take SOME responsibility. He says that if he were married to Sonny, he NEVER would've cheated. He tells him to get out. Opens the door to Adrienne, who's shocked.
Abby leaves a message on JJ's phone to talk. Chad walks in, some small talk about how he liked her coming over the other day, is about to meet up with Seth Burns.

Ben comes in, notes she got her dream job offer, some humanitarian thing in NYC. She doesn't want to take it.

He doesn't want Jordan to pass this opportunity up; he can handle himself and will never trust Clyde. She says their lives are now in Salem. Ben tells her she needs to take this job, yada yada. They hug. out by the nurses' desk, Ben says he will miss Jordan. She tells him to stick with college, Ben maybe will get a chance like his sister did.

Ben says Jordan can finally not see him anymore, but she goes after Chad, they meet in the waiting room, she thanks him for trying to drop the charges against Ben. Chad hopes things work out for him. They chit chat for a bit, he tries to stay out of her way, Jordan says it won't be a problem anymore because she's leaving Salem. She tells Chad about the opportunity (off-screen), and he thinks it is a great opportunity. Chad is happy for her, she's been dreaming about this for a good opportunity. He is sad that it did't happen sooner, before he put her through this craziness. She says there's no point in looking back, it's over. She starts to leave, but not before she and Chad say they really did care about each other. She tells Chad if he had more respect for himself, he wouldn't go around hurting others. She feels bad about it, they get teary eyed, but she leaves. Abigail and Ben are talking about Jordan leaving. More chit chat then Ben gets a call from Aiden ( we don't see him), news about the DA. Ben laughs, thanks Aiden, the charges were dropped. Abby hugs Ben, Chad walks out and Abby sees him, smiling.
