34½ minutes, not including the credits. A mind-numbing episode, I hope I got everything.
Peterson-Brady Apartment - Eric tells Sloan Jude’s finally asleep. Sloan seems skeptical. He plans to ask Brady today about being godfather. Sloan wants to move the "reception venue" back to the Pub. Sloan claims to be worried about Roman's feelings; Eric is thinking about Nicole. (Insert ill emoji here.) Or maybe about Holly, whom he thinks of as a daughter, and thus Holly thinks of Jude as a brother. Sloan calls out this line of baloney. Brady arrives, Sloan storms out.
Evans-Black Townhouse - John demands to know why Steve lied to him about killing Konstantin’s daughter. He's mad that Konstantin told him. Steve points out that nobody knows the truth. This does not calm John, who insists upon turning himself in over Marlena's pleas. He moans about the various times he was turned into an assassin by Yo Ling, etc. Marlena reminds him of his support for her criminal acts when she wasn’t herself. He breaks the law a lot, he says, including when he busted Clyde out of prison.
Vitali-Shin-Dalton-Johnson Apartment - Ava is mad Harris is not resting. Harris asks when the last time she spoke to Stefan was. Because of her focus on Tripp, she replies, "a few days ago when you woke up". Harris suspects Stefan aided Clyde in the breakout, and he wants Ava to get in touch with Stefan. She's tried. She takes him to bed. Tender music suggests romance as she fondles his wounded body. As things get heated, she wonders if this is what the doctor meant by bed rest.
DiMansion - EJ is drinking. Stefan emerges from the not-really-secret-anymore panel. EJ tells him Clyde’s on the loose, assures him he'll still be "helping" him, and tells Stefan it's his last night as a DiMera. Blah blah about where Stefan will be going. Stefan feels betrayed by EJ but unfortunately not enough to stab him. This goes on for way too long, but the upshot is Stefan has to zip out of town quickly, change his identity, and can't get a goodbye to Gabi before going to Siberia. They argue about what their murdering raping criminal "fatha" would have been embarrassed by. EJ says he'll tell Gabi where Stefan went if she ever gets out of prison.
Square - Leo is hungover after a St. Patty's Day celebration at the Pub. Sloan wakes him up. He wants his weekly allowance. He's over budget because he bought a suit for the christening, to which he is not invited. He feels like he's Jude's godfather. Sloan doesn't think Jude's actual godfather will agree. They argue for several scenes about how Leo actually cares for Jude, and isn't working an angle.
Peterson-Brady Apartment - Brady asks after Sloan, Eric assures him that it’s just because Jude’s not been sleeping. He asks him to be godfather, Brady refuses immediately because he's such a horrible dad. This affords us a boo-hoo recap about where Brady's kids are now. Eric says Leo will be the godfather if Brady doesn't accept; Brady thinks there must be someone else, but upon this pressure accepts. They are eating as the recap continues about Holly's framing Tate. Eric thinks Tate might be lying, etc., Brady thinks Holly is selfish. Eric agrees Holly is hiding something.
Townhouse - Steve has explained the reasoning behind the breakout. John plans to apologize to Konstantin, whom they've been treating roughly without cause. Steve says there is cause; John says the man is grieving, and if anyone did that to Bill, he'd hunt them down and kill them. (He says Bill, the captions say Bill, we get no clue as to who Bill is.) Steve apologizes for not disclosing the Aria incident, which he claims was blocked out for a long time. He promises Marlena he won't turn himself in without careful consideration.
Vitali-Dalton-Johnson-Shin Apartment - In Ava's bedroom, Harris and Ava are snuggling and he wants another prescription. He missed her. She missed him (she has a flashback to making out with Stefan). She gets up to get his pain meds. Stefan knocks on the door, she tries to shoo him away, but Harris emerges (dressed thankfully) and says his would-be assassin isn't going anywhere. END
