Open (Possession storyline day)
Gabi asks Jake about murdering a man in Philly and insists Ava is behind Philip's blackmail. He wants to talk about it at home.
Replay of Chloe hugging Brady after he agrees to back off on irritating Philip with Philip looking on from the trees.
Marlena is on the couch reading a tabloid story about Doug on her iPad. The devil breaks in through static to communicate to her, startling her.
(Spinning hourglass)
The devil gloats about how easily they got rid of Doug, but Marlena cast him out again. She's in a daze as the demon tries to entice her to let him in again. She screams no, looking frightened, as John rushes in. She starts to say something about the tablet, but John interrupts and asks if the article made her upset. She redirects from her confusion over the voice and says it was article that has her upset. (It's very confusing whether she's possessed or not. Whether she's under his control or not. If not, then why doesn't she say something?)
Brady hopes Chloe appreciates her. Chloe thinks Philip is over the jealousy. Brady leaves to go get Rachel. Meanwhile, Philip is magically back at home and grabs a drink. Flashback to their talking about a new start at the tree farm. He downs his drink, looking crazed.
Maggie is at Horton House, talking with Julie about Summer's death, then Doug's troubles and commitment to Bayview. He was so desperate as he was taken away. Julie is worried she made a mistake. Maggie hugs her.
Back in Gabi's room at home, Jake fills her in about his conversation with Ava. Gabi says someone named Carmine saw Jake commit murder. Jake recognizes the name, and Gabi asks if it's true. He says he didn't kill Jed Zanetti but is evasive. Gabi needs to know everything if they're going to fight Philip. It was Jake's job to exert pressure to get businesses to cooperate. He and Carmine were supposed to rough Jed up to scare him, but Carmine lost control and beat Jed to death.
Ben and Ciara talk about his going to see Marlena to get help. He calls her about an appointment. Marlena agrees to meet him immediately in her office. Ben kisses Ciara goodbye and leaves for the hospital. Ciara gets a call from Shawn about Grandpa Doug.
John seems uncertain about Marlena working. She says she couldn't help Doug but she can help Ben.
On the phone, Philip demands Henderson bring him a saw. Flashback to him chopping down the tree. He's about to leave, but Chloe arrives and asks where he's going. He's on his way to water their tree, he says. Chloe doesn't tell him she was just there. Philip goes on and on about not under or overwatering a tree before confronting her with what he saw.
Brady walks out to John and Marlena's living room after putting Rachel down for a nap. They talk about Marlena and Doug. John mulls over Doug's insistence that Marlena was the one to hurt Julie and that she tried to kill him.
Ben sits down in Marlena's office. She wants to record the session and pushes record, then spaces out. Ben asks if she's okay. She claims to be fine, and Ben catches her up on his and Ciara's baby plans and concerns.
Ciara arrives at Horton House and hugs Julie and Maggie. Julie has called Hope and told her there was no point in rushing back. Doug can't have visitors and is in isolation. (Oh, just recast Hope already.) Ciara doesn't believe Doug would harm Julie. Julie thinks it's clear that Doug isn't her Doug and has lost touch with reality. Maggie gives Julie a pep talk and leaves. Ciara knows what it's like to look at a man you love and have doubts about their mind. They talk about fighting for love. Ciara is glad they're finally happy.
Jake doesn't think Gabi could understand, but she tells him about Nick, the near rape, his near death, his blackmail, and how she shot him. (How is he just learning that his girlfriend killed a man and went to prison?) She says if someone is that obsessed, they won't stop until they ruin your life.
Cut to crazy Philip asking if Chloe and Brady had sex in front of their Charlie Brown pine tree. She cuts him off and explains how she was telling Rachel about their love and their tree, which helped Brady see the light. But Chloe sees that Philip's obsession has gotten worse.
Gabi says it's Carmine's word against Jake's. But Jake says the best-case scenario is that he's an accessory after the fact. Gabi declares she's not losing Jake. He talks about how they joke about who's going to be CEO if they take over Titan—when, Gabi says—but he can't let her throw away all she's built. He won't let her sacrifice Gabi Chic. They'll find another way to stop Philip.
Chloe screams that Philip should have asked her what was going on instead of jumping to conclusions and not been a jealous (alternate word for donkey). Philip is trying to defend his lunacy, and Maggie returns.
Marlena asks if Ben wants to have kids with Ciara. Ben explains his hesitation because he's fought his demons and so did his dad and his sister. He describes his dream about having a murderous son and how he doesn't want to bring a soul into the world to do evil. Marlena seems like herself for a bit as she's talking with him.
Chloe explains Philip's problems to Maggie. She's sick of him not trusting her and takes off. Philip repeats the same line about trusting her, but not trusting Brady. He tells Maggie he's not going to let Brady steal her again. (Like she's an object instead of a person. She needs to end things.)
John thinks it's easier for Doug to blame Marlena. Brady thinks it must be hard for Julie. John agrees. After all, how terrible is it to have the person you love more than anyone be a threat to you?
Ciara tells Julie about the baby plan and Ben's hesitation. Julie understands. The good news is that Ben is in a session with Marlena. Ciara doesn't trust anyone in the world more than her.
Marlena starts giving good advice about the lifelong commitment of having kids and how they deserve to be wanted without reservation. Ben is convinced now that he's never going to lose all his shame. He can't chance that his kid would suffer or make others suffer or that he would spend his time obsessing over something being wrong with the child. Ben starts to leave, and the devil pipes in through the recorder (Ben doesn't hear): Don't let him leave. Convince Ben that he and Ciara must have a baby. (THE END)
