36 minutes today, seemed a lot longer.
Melinda appears at Sloan’s door. Melinda needs a favor. Melinda seems upset.
EJ in the DiMera living room reading his tablet. Moving the news to tablet form is much cheaper than actually having to print a newspaper. Nicole walks in holding her baby bump. EJ tells her that Victor has died. Nicole reacts.
Shawn and new face Eric in the small bar. Shawn is finishing a bottle. Eric gets somewhat judgmental (I know, shocking) towards the drunk.
Chloe and Belle realize that Brady has been listening in on their conversation.
Replay of Xander walking into the Kiriakis living room and seeing Sarah. Sarah says hello. Xander says you’re pregnant! Like really pregnant. He wants to know why Sarah didn’t tell him? Sarah tells him to keep it down, her mom is trying to rest. Xander will keep his voice down, but are you really offering me condolences and not explaining to me why you didn’t tell me I’m going to be a father?
Brady is very happy with Chloe’s decision to accept Xander’s proposal. He wants to take them to the pub to celebrate. Who am I trying to kid? He gets all judgy too. You’re gonna consider marrying a kidnapping neanderthal? (Says the man who lost custody of his daughter after pulling a gun on the child’s mother in front of the child. But I digress, back to Brady) Brady includes the being left behind at a drug lord's compound. Chloe shuts him up.
Eric and Shawn discuss dead Victor. Shawn explains how Victor’s death is his fault. It makes no sense this time either.
Nicole is shocked Victor has passed. EJ explains it was an airplane crash. Nicole is amazed that it’s hitting her this hard. EJ tells her well you were married, so there must have been good times. Nicole pauses a beat, no, there were no good times. Flashback to Nicole and Victor talking about a fashion show and how Victor won’t allow her to appear showing her "assets" to the public. Nicole responds just brand me "Property of the Great Victor Kiriakis"
EJ wonders if Victor and Stefano have met up in the great beyond?
Melinda tells Sloan that Abe is going to resume his job as Mayor. Sloan is happy Abe has his memory back. Melinda tells Sloan about Paulina becoming Mayor. Paulina will fire her. Melinda will bring a case with a big name and a bigger crime. Melinda wants to try Li for the attempt on Stefan’s life. Sloan reminds her that she doesn’t have any proof. Melinda says that shouldn’t be a problem.
Back at the drink-me-stupid bar, Shawn and Eric continue to talk and judge.
Nicole and EJ chat about cravings. Nicole talks about Victor. EJ also remembers Victor. EJ wants to get married now.
Melinda wants Sloan to represent Li, and not fight to keep Li out of Jail. Help convict Li to keep Melinda’s job.
Brady tells of the Xander hug. Belle says Shawn blames himself for Victor’s death.
Xander asks Sarah how long was she going to keep this baby from him? Sarah tells him the baby is Rex's. Xander has done the baby math and he isn’t buying the Rex story.
Belle tells Brady to stop badgering Chloe as it doesn’t work. She leaves. She received a text from Eric. Brady blah blahs about his jealousy. Apparently Xander is bad. Brady good.
Shawn returns to the table (men’s room visit?) and finds Eric still at the table. Eric offers to drive Shawn home, he wants to continue this at the house. Shawn doesn’t want to go.
Melinda explains the scheme to Sloan. Sloan won’t help frame Li for the job.
Nicole is shocked that EJ wants to elope tonight. Discussion of Salem’s wedding history. The Hindenburg is mentioned.
More talk about framing Li. Sloan calls Melinda’s bluff.
Small bar/drink-me-stupid bar, Belle walks in and stops the fight. Shawn is upset Eric called her.
Nicole wonders about getting married tonight. They will fly to Italy, take Holly, and Sydney is already there so they can both be flower girls. If you want to have a 20-year-old flower girl, that is. Nicole agrees to marry him.
Sarah uses baby math incorrectly to try to bamboozle Xander.
Brady continues his downgrading of Xander. Chloe tries to talk to Brady who tells Chloe that Brady is the ONLY one talking the truth to Xander. Chloe tells Brady that she doesn’t have time for this. Brady says the truth. Chloe responds she’s leaving she doesn’t want him to condescend to her any more. Chloe finally walks away.
Belle and Shawn argue some more about progress and the fact that Victor’s death is Shawn’s fault.
Sloan and Melinda have a few words.
The DiMera jet is gone. It’s in Iceland. EJ is upset Dimitri took the plane, they will get married in Salem.
Xander and Sarah discuss their current bedmates. Sarah says Chloe has no standards. Xander wishes Sarah well and demands to be told if the baby pops out with a Scottish accent. He leaves.
Belle and Shawn continue to argue over Shawn’s drinking. Belle won’t let him drink himself.
Brady Flashback of talking with Victor about Philip and Chloe. When Victor paid Brady to sweep Chloe off her feet and take her away from Philip.
Chloe gets home with Xander and they chat about Victor and Maggie. Chloe hopes lightning strikes twice. She agrees to marry Xander.
Sarah sadly sitting on the couch calls Rex. Sarah agrees to marry Rex, the sooner the better.
Xander and Chloe break off kissing as Xander puts the ring on Chloe’s finger.
Nicole sitting waiting for EJ. Flashback of Nicole locked in her room, goes to a window, opens it, straddles the windowsill, Victor walks in, crosses the room and pushes her off the windowsill.
EJ and Melinda literally run into each other. EJ tells Melinda he needs to get the papers to marry Nicole tonight. Melinda says are you sure you want to do that?
Eric returns home. He tells Sloan about his miserable last half hour. Sloan is standing in the room, maybe nervously? Maybe worried? She tells Eric she has something to tell him.
Melinda appears at Sloan’s door. Melinda needs a favor. Melinda seems upset.
