Rather a fun show to watch today, and a lot of that is due to Serena, who sits in the Pub, waiting to meet Eric, when Kayla walks in. Serena says hello, Kayla is puzzled until Serena reminds her they met in New York, once, several years ago, when a lot of family was there. Kayla remembers, mentions Eric was with her, they had just come from Africa. Yes...but Serena gets a call, which upsets her, has to leave to take care of something.
Meanwhile, Marlena is meeting up with Eric at his request, they small talk, he takes her to the Pub, suprised that "she" is not there. Kayla is, though, and notes that "she" was, but had to leave just a few minutes ago. So Marlena learns it was Serena Mason, remembers meeting her, remembers also that Eric really liked her, and in fact, if he had not entered the priesthood, thought maybe he was going to propose to her.
Over at the hospital, Anne & Theresa are gossiping over Melanie's application, Jen comes along, returning some files she had borrowed, but Anne insists she "demanded". Anne leaves for a bit, Jen sweetly tells Theresa that she heard her talking about Melanie, and she will enjoy working with her. Anne returns, Jen departs, Anne assures Theresa that she will deal with ol Melanie, who is not going to just slide in, the heck with Dr. Jonas.
Along comes Serena......and gosh, I loved this confrontation. It seems someone from Anne's office called Serena, her office will be in the basement, which is not acceptable. Too bad, replies, Anne, she is boss, her decision, it is all that is available, no one consulted me. Serena thinks it is too bad Anne was not advised, but with her attitude, she can understand why. (Watching Jen's facial reactions in the background is a stitch). Serena shows her contract, in which the company assured her of an office on this floor, close to the research center, as she will be in and out of there.She mentions the large donation the company is making to the hospital. Anne sticks by her guns, (she really does a lot of talking with her hands, too funny) and no office. O.K., says Serena, that is too bad, understand you are doing your job. And when I have lunch with Seth Burns next week, to explain why the donation is being withdrawn, I will be sure to mention how well you do your job. And when I lunch with Chief of Staff Brady, who is a good friend, I will be sure to let her know how well you do your job.
Ooops, Anne just remembered that an office was vacated right here, scolds Theresa a bit for not reminding her, so Serena can have it. Ahh, all taken care of, now she wants the key. Anne & Theresa leave, Jennifer is grinning from ear to ear, introduces herself, tells Serena it is going to be really fun having her around.Serena has to take off, is late.
At the Pub, Serena is giving Marlena a hug, glad to see her again, Marlena all eager to catch up, hear about her working at the hospital, but gets a call, new patient, has to leave. Serena now wants to talk to Eric privately, but not in the private park area that Eric mentions, suggests his place. They are there, they talk, she wants to know what happened that had him leave the priesthood. Water under the bridge, doesn't want to talk of it, in the past. She is happy about that, realizing there are no other commitments on his part, asks him to dinner. He smiles, are you asking me on a date? Their faces are close, seemingly about to kiss.
Brady runs into Nicole, who looks gorgeous, except for an ugly jacket. He takes her to lunch, needs a favor. Titan wants to buy this company, another outfit wants it as bad as Titan, and the CEO plans on using Brady's past with drugs & alcohol to knock him out of the running. Brady remembers Nicole did research on the guy, though never did the piece. Oh, yes, that sleazeball from New Jersey, she remembers. (Nice scenes between these two). She makes a phone call or two, and the jerk has been put on notice. Brady is appreciative.
Melanie is decorating the Jonas Christmas tree with Parker, Maggie baking cookies to share with Parker. Mel has to leave, she has already put her application in at the hospital, still has to be approved, but has Parker help her put a load of gifts under the tree. Maggie wonders how Mel found the time, but after Mel leaves, Daniel admits she asked him to do her shopping for her before she decided to come home. So he did, even his own gift. Maggie can't believe it, but is laughing.
Melanie is at the hospital, in hugs with Jennifer, who is looking forward to having her back at the hospital. Brady comes in, does his own big hug with Melanie, Theresa sees them, her face falls. Brady leaves, Mel spots Theresa who is giving her the evil eye, Mel looks uncomfortable, but shrrugs it off. She goes up to Anne, mentioning her application. Oh, yes, Anne got it. Melanie wonders if she has to do her physical today, unless the rules have changed. Oh, let me see...Anne looks at her phone calendar. How about the 12th. Melanie starts to say oh, o.k.......but Anne adds..."of NEVER". Theresa grins.
Nicole arrives at Daniel's with her own stack of Christmas gifts. She is sorry to have missed Parker, has no gift for Melanie as she did not know she was returning, then notices the gift box from Melanie to Daniel is exactly the same as her own for him. She learns of Daniel doing the shopping, even his own gift, which is a scarf. Oh, she got him a scarf as well, Arguing about taking back, or not. Daniel decides to open hers, lovely grey scarf, he really likes it, wraps it around his neck, she double wraps it, saying she knows he likes to wear it that way. They are up close, personal, nearly kissing.
Bree is on the phone with Hope, telling her not to have anything to do with Aiden, if she does, she will end up just like Meredith - dead. Hope is flabbergasted, and just then Aiden comes up. Hope manages to hang up, Aiden sees she is upset, she admits the call was about him, and she is not upset, just surprised. They were to go to Salem Inn, decide to meet there and talk about this. Hope arrives first, gets another call from Bree, but decides not to answer it. Aiden arrives, they talk of the kids being home during the holidays, and Hope says they will have to get inventive.
Aiden deals with the elephant in the room, the phone call. When Hope reveal it came from Bree, Aiden gets upset,He does explain she was Meredith's best friend, that Meredith probably told her a lot of stuff about her marriage troubles. He notes he already told Hope that Meredith was not happy with him, he wasn't happy with her, and add how much Bree hates him. At Meredith's funer, she came up to Aiden, saying she wishes that bullet had hit him instead. The upshot is, Aiden is tired of explaining the past, he doesn't want to talk about it. He moved away from Portland because Bree was saying much the same to everyone, and he did not want her saying any of it to Chase. But really, he is tired of it all. Hope says she has always trusted him, but also respected his privacy. He says that he has never asked her about Bo, about why he went away, never returned, nothing.
Hope interrupts, saying that for today, let's not talk of the past, the future, just here and now. Aiden says that would be nice, but he cannot do that. Not anymore. He is about to leave, but Hope stops him, kisses him.
And we see the 3 scenes sort of interjecting....Eric & Serena about to kiss, Nicole & Daniel about to kiss.....but Hope kissing Aiden and him kissing her back.

I know, right ? It's truly shocking. Well, not so much, considering that my favorite character, Nicole, was on today. I loved her scenes with Brady. And I definitely like her with Daniel. I think Miracle Dan is so much more fun with Nicole. In fact, I think Nicole (or the actress, or both) makes everyone around her much more likeable. Brady, Daniel. Well, not sourpuss Eric, which is why I'm so glad Nicole was not in a scene with him.
