38 minutes lots of caffeine will help.
I know it’s nighttime, not sure if it’s nighttime New Year’s Eve Day or January 2nd. The time portal is difficult to figure out tonight.
Stefan's on the phone with Gabi, who is still in the infirmary. The prison is on lockdown for the next 48 hours, due to a fight. Stefan will visit. He has to have a serious talk with her soon.
Chad arrives at the Spectator offices. Everett is burning the midnight oil. He tells Chad that he ran into his brothers arguing. This has aroused his suspicion.
Nicole is arranging Holly’s blankets around her. Maggie walks in. She’s wanted to come ever since she heard about it.
Ava comes home; she missed seeing Wendy leave. Tripp tells Ava he’s not going to China because he’s worried about her.
Gabi is still in pain and Stefan needs to talk to her. The prison guards hang up the phone. Stefan continues to drink heavily.
Maggie brings Holly a newly made blanket. Maggie knits at night as she can’t sleep. She calls Holly her precious granddaughter. Holly is like Nicole and Maggie’s son Daniel, who left us too soon (not really, he could have left earlier). Don’t take people you love for granted; life is fragile.
Everett has discovered that EJ was at one time a drug dealer. Chad agrees with that and adds, yep it’s what got him killed. That bit of news takes Everett by surprise, I mean EJ does look alive currently. Chad doesn’t think that EJ would dabble in drugs. Stefan owns the bistro, and that is where the central of the drug activity is.
Ava tries to get away from Tripp who is questioning her happiness over him moving to China. The “OLD” Ava wouldn’t be so willing to have her son move 8000 miles away. Tripp is going to keep Ava safe. In the middle of this drivel, Wendy busts into the apartment.
Everett tells Chad he can’t figure out why Stefan and EJ were standing in back of the Bistro, at the docks, arguing. Stephanie comes in, they are having a PR meeting to discuss how to bring more “eyes” to the paper. Chad leaves and Everett apologizes for any discomfort seeing the two of them together might have brought Stephanie. Stephanie says it’s okay, as Chad leaves. She and Chad have said their piece and moved on.
Wendy simply couldn’t leave a good thing. She has to stay with her Tripp. Ava leaves after trying to make small talk.
Nicole asks Maggie if she’d seen any signs that Holly was using. Our daily Public Service Messages on how bad drugs are. Maggie asks Nicole if she believes that Tate is the one to blame?
Ava saunters into the DiMera living room, Stefan is sitting at the chess table drinking. Harold is working tonight, he let her in. No change in Holly’s condition. Ava tells Stefan of Tripp and Wendy staying stateside. Chad walks in, he still has his keys and says he's “looking” for one of Charlotte’s favorite dolls. Chad demands to know what Ava is doing at the house?
Everett and Stephanie eat and talk of passion, pickle ball and watermelon mojitos.
Ava and Tripp stand and talk, Wendy is picking at Tripp’s scab of a brain demanding to know why he isn’t as happy she is that she is staying with him? Wendy is certain that Tripp doesn’t want her.
Nicole doesn’t blame Tate, she blames herself. Paulina comes in with flowers, fake orchids because you can’t have real flowers in the ICU. The mayor gives a mini speech about drugs being bad. Paulina has a coughing fit.
Chad, Ava and Stefan chat. Stefan says they have business to do. Chad outs Everett as the investigative reporter doing a deep dive on the drug traffic and Chad wants to know why his family's name keeps coming up?
Everett worked the heroin trade in Seattle. One of his best friends died by overdose, Everett found him, he was a great pianist and songwriter. Deep diving into Salem’s problems is triggering (his word) for him.
Paulina tells Holly they are praying for her, sending white light and whatever other doohickies they can think of. It’s Holly’s bath time, so they all go out to the nurses' center and chat.
Wendy and Tripp yada yada angrily and then of course have fantastic make up time.
Paulina, Maggie and Nicole talk. Maggie is sure that Paulina is really sick and is not telling her doctor everything. Bath is over, so Maggie and Nicole return to the room.
Chad accuses Ava knowing the ins and outs of the drug running before she learned her ABC’s. Ava says what should I say, I can’t stay away from DiMera, then she goes over and plants one on Stefan.
More dinner chat with Everett and Stephanie. Everett can continue knowing Stephanie’s by his side.
Tripp and Wendy stop kissing, she calls home to tell them she is staying in Salem.
Maggie wants to have a spa day when Holly goes home. Salem Inn is doing high tea now. Victor loved high tea, and the tiny cucumber sandwiches.
Wendy's speaking Mandarin, per the screen, explaining that she simply can’t leave Tripp. Tripp says that didn’t go well, did it? Wendy says nope. A discussion of love and "in love" and parents. Tripp is happy Wendy is home. She lights up his life, and yes, it’s corny. Wendy counters with Tripp, you are the man of my dreams.
Back at the paper, Stephanie says that she may be going back to Seattle to visit her brother. They chat on if Everett will ever return to Seattle? Nope. Stephanie leaves.
At the DiMansion, Ava and Stefan are still deep in their kissy face. Chad leaves with a threat. Ava tells Stefan he’d better become more interested in her if he wants to stay alive.
