Ava's - She's on the phone with Harris, who's at the police station. They make plans for dinner. She has a visitor, ends the call. Gil is at her door. He wants a key to the Salem PD evidence room to get some evidence against one of their low-level dealers before he flips on them. He suggests she lift a key for them from Harris. She points out that Harris will eventually figure it out, and blow their cover. He threatens to tell Daddy Clyde. But he'll keep quiet for a price. He assaults her. When he has her gripped firmly (he's behind her and he's pushed her against a table), Ava softens and agrees they have a lot in common. As soon as she's free, she pulls a gun on him.
Kmansion, Downstairs - Replay of Xander/Sarah talking about court. Seeing how Victoria's kidnapping affected her has made Xander realize he can't take her away from Sarah. She's sorry she accused him of kidnapping Victoria. He'll call Sloan and have her drop the case. He laments his past bad acts, and knows now that he can't fix mistakes with worse mistakes. He never really wanted to take Victoria from Sarah - he wants them to raise her together. Sarah, who is breathing shallowly through Xander's speech, admits she wants that, too. They were both just so angry with each other and are sorry they let it go this far.
Kmansion, Upstairs - Replay of Maggie calling Konstantin an angel and him smashing their faces together. She is shocked and asks what on Earth he's doing? He asks for forgiveness. He has shamed himself and taken advantage of a grief-stricken woman. He will leave. Maggie sighs, then asks him to stay. He is not sure he is welcome, and has a flashback to Sarah's suspicions. He needs to pack.
Titan Offices - Replay of Jeannie T leaving an incriminating voicemail for Konstantin. Brady enters, heard nothing (DUH PLOT demands it). She accuses him of eavesdropping, he says they're in public. All he heard was that something would blow up in her face and demands to know what she did? She tells him she slept with Alex. In Greece. She didn't want anyone to know. He wonders to whom she was speaking on the phone. She claims she was talking to Stephanie, she had to tell someone. Brady asks if it was just once? Jeannie T says yes, they have separate bedrooms, why is Brady even asking? Is he jealous? (You may groan and/or puke now.) Alex enters.
Pub - Rafe meets Harris. They talk about Jada, who's at Leo's arraignment. Rafe needs Harris to investigate Victoria Horton's kidnapping and also who murdered Li Shin. He doesn't believe Gabi's guilty. Harris recaps Li's deathbed declaration; Rafe thinks he was out of it. He tells Harris there's no reason they can't do the investigation quietly. Paulina (who was farther away from their whispered discussion than Brady was during Jeannie T's loud voicemail) says there is. She doesn't want it getting out that the accused's brother is investigating as it could hurt the DA's case. Rafe tries to make a case about family being wrongly accused, and how Paulina should understand that, which incenses her unreasonably. (DUH PLOT.) Plus, there's a new drug cartel and an increase in trafficking and she needs both of them to work on that. Rafe agrees to work on the drugs. She has made this her final word and will replace Rafe if he doesn't comply. She leaves. Harris tells Rafe he's still on the case.
Kmansion, Upstairs - Konstantin is packing and railing against himself after he listens to Jeannie T's voicemail. He had such a great plot and he ruined it by kissing Maggie. (Get the salt, he's chewing scenery.) He realizes he may still have an “in” with Maggie.
Kmansion, Downstairs - Xander and Sarah are near a kiss. Maggie enters. She learns about the suit being dropped (if they're almost due in court, shouldn't he be calling Sloan??!?!). That's all she wanted for them. They are grateful for Konstantin's rescue of Victoria. Konstantin enters to say goodbye.
Ava's Apartment - Gil says he's no rapist. They debate terminology. She dares him to try again, so she can shoot him. He says if he's shot, Tripp's dead.
Pub - Rafe tells Harris the secret investigation is a no-go. He's not willing to sacrifice other's jobs, and he's super worried about all these awful drugs suddenly flooding Salem.
Titan Offices - Alex, Jeannie T, and Brady are ready to work on strategy. Brady has to leave to testify. They discuss the Xander/Sarah drama. Alex thinks it's good the truth came out, Xander should know about his daughter. Things that are rightfully his should be his. Cue worried one-shot of Jeannie T.
Kmansion, Downstairs - Konstantin continues his long goodbye. Sarah is upset, worried that she may have influenced this, she's grateful for his help today. They ask him to stay, and he agrees. (You can all breathe out now.)
Titan Offices - Brady ends a call with Justin, announces that the custody suit's off because of the kidnapping/rescue. Alex can't believe a sicko would take a newborn, and he hopes they will be caught and nailed to the wall. Constant one-shot of Jeannie T's reactions.
Kmansion, Upstairs - Konstantin is unpacking. Maggie comes in and asks if he's making himself at home?
Kmansion, Downstairs - Sarah talks about how relieved Justin is about the end of the suit. They get to focus on their baby, who fusses. Sarah asks Xander to pick her up. Xander picks up Victoria and tells her he's her dad, he wants to get to know her, and already loves her with all his heart.
Ava's Apartment - Ava and Gil are still in a standoff. She will end him, he doesn't think so. Outside, an early Harris hears a shot. He enters, gun drawn, and finds Gil unconscious with a bullet in his chest. END
