In the DiMansion study, Stefano fondles a chess piece and tells someone on the phone the "land in Ireland" will be his (Stefano's) soon, Chad has the situation in hand.
At Club TBD, Abby accepts Ben's proposal. Chad comes up, asking what they are celebrating. Chad boasts he has something to celebrate as well. (He's drunk.) Ben announces they're getting married. Chad watches as Ben foists the ring on Abby's finger, Chad offers to buy them a drink to toast to Ben/Abby's future. Abby is nervous as Ben and Chad try to out-chimp each other. Chad jokes that "marriages in Salem are marketably [sic] less successful than the national average" after Ben says they plan to stay in Salem. Chad toasts them, tells Ben he's lucky (after some backhanded insults), then sincerely tells Abby he's happy for them. Chad leaves. Ben wants to toast, remembers the first time he saw Abby, gets carried away talking about their families and wedding plans. She stops him, tells him she's pregnant. Ben is happy, but immediately thinks of overhearing Chad and Abby's conversation about the garden sex, asks how far along she is. They jumble over each other for a bit, she apologises for not telling him before accepting the proposal. He needs to know the truth about something. Stalls for a bit, flashes back to the garden conversation again, then asks Abby if she accepted his proposal only because she's pregnant. Abby denies this, knows Ben asked because he loves her, not out of obligation. Ben asks if Abby feels trapped with him; Abby admits this wasn't how she would have planned it, but is sure he'll be a great dad, she's not trapped. She is planning to tell JJ & her mom. He seems happy as she goes to meet her family; then a moment later gets a concerned look.
In the Kmansion, replay of Brady telling Jeannie Theresa to get out. He calls the hospital, doesn't believe anything Jeannie T says. He's going to get a second opinion from Kayla, or Daniel. He takes the crutches and tells her to come along. She refuses; he says he heard her & Anne. She tries to back it up, he won't buy it, gives her a sharp instrument and orders her to remove the cast. Brady wants Jeannie to think about what Tate would think about what she did, Jeannie thinks Tate would understand. Tries to frame her scheme as for Tate, what's best for him is NOT to be bounced around.
In the Kiriakis garden shed, Victor is upset at the older gardener (Wallace?), who is supposed to be directly supervising Xander at all times. Where is he? On an errand, the gardener explains, Victor is happy again, learns Xander doesn't like dirty work.
In a park area, Xander calls Nicole names and says she ruined his life. They trade barbs and she pushes his buttons, so he gets in her face. More insults and threats, Daniel arrives and pulls Xander away from Nicole. Xander claims they just crossed paths, more threats, Xander scoots. Later, Daniel and Nicole lament that Xander's not in Siberia, after Nicole updates Daniel on Xander's job. They start their picnic with Parker (whom an off-screen Joanna drops off). Later, Daniel goes to talk to Victor as Nicole watches Parker. As soon as Daniel is gone, Nicole calls someone, needs to see them.
At the Nurses station, Eric asks Daniel to lunch to talk about Serena and other things..
In the park bench area, Serena is tending to Caroline. Serena tells her she's having a stroke and they need to go to the hospital. She calls the paramedics (saying she's just on the edge of the town square), has done the stroke test. Later, she is speaking with Kayla on the phone, Kayla gives her some medical direction, thanks her for her quick reaction. Serena can hear the sirens, tells Kayla and Caroline the other said she'd be OK.
At the Brady Booth, Roman happens upon Eric, who's having lunch. Eric's en route to see Jeannie T, they chat about Serena leaving town (and mention that Eric was looking to meet with Caroline).
At the Hospital, Caroline is brought in, Kayla gives the docs Caroline's history (myocardial infarction and vascular dementia), starts to say what tests she wants, the medics/docs say they will take good care of her and wheel her away. Kayla and Serena talk, Serena assures Kayla that Caroline was alert & oriented, mostly worried about her family. Kayla says that Caroline's chances are better thanks to Serena.
Back in the shed, Victor insults Xander's odour. Victor tells Xander to redouble his efforts if he wants to keep his job & home, Xander promises to be good, tells Xander he ran into Daniel & Nicole on his way back. Victor reminds Xander that he's not welcome around those for whom Victor cares, breaks some pots on his way out, telling Xander to clean it up.
Chad comes home to the DiMansion, where Stefano is listening to opera. Chad turns the music off, wants to focus on blocking a merger, Stefano wants to know what happened with Abigail. Chad tells Stefano to forget about the Irish land, nothing's happening with Abigail. (They are still within hearing distance of the chess board.) Chad explains how he hurt Abby, Stefano surmises that he could only hurt her that much if Abby truly loved Chad. If she loves me, why is she marrying Ben? Stefano thinks she's a fool to pick anyone over a DiMera. Stefano plans to take care of Ben, Chad yells at him, tells him it's over. Chad turns Stefano's music back on, and leaves; Stefano breaks his composer wand, muttering it can't be over.
At the Kmansion, Brady doesn't believe Jeannie T's explanations, says it's all about him, he doesn't love Jeannie T and never will. She tries to play hurt; Eric enters, heard the yelling. Tries to calm them down, gets a call about Caroline, and leaves. Jeannie T follows him. They arrive at the hospital, Kayla tells Eric and Jeannie (who arrive with Brady) that Caroline is stable, she's trying to reach Kim and Shane. Jeannie goes in to see Caroline, Kayla wants to talk to Eric.
At Nicole & Daniel's, Roman arrives to meet Nicole, where they talk about Xander's new job, and the ongoing investigation, and Xander's companies & charities being a front for Victor, whom so far they can't connect to Xander's business. Nicole thinks this is good, since it would hurt Daniel and Maggie. Roman gets the call about Caroline, zips off. (Doesn't mention the emergency to Nicole, though.) Nicole offers to make something special for "Grampa Victor," her future "father-in-law."
At the Kmansion, Daniel and Victor are having a conversation about Xander and what's best. (It's jumpy, I'm guessing some scenes were cut.) Victor claims his plan is for the best, Daniel thinks more is going on than what Victor's admitting to. Daniel keeps pressing, doesn't accept Vic's evasions, nor his eventual denial.
In the shed, Xander crumples a picture of ages-ago Victor holding a baby.
In the waiting room, Kayla brings Eric to Serena, tells him that Serena's responsible for Caroline's (presumed eventual) full recovery.
In Caroline's room, Jeannie takes Caroline's hand, starts to cry. She admits she's lost, and that Caroline's the only one who loves her despite her screw ups, and hasn't given up on her. Admits she has given up on herself, knows why others have as well. (Brady is listening in.)
