In Billie's hospital room, Kate goes over the litany of lies that her secret agent daughter told in the mausoleum. Billie's going home tomorrow. Lucas enters, demanding to know what Billie's done to his son. Kate wants to be the one to yell at Billie, and Lucas lays in to him about the "ISA crap" that Billie committed with John. Will enters, says he wasn't killed, so let's all chill out. He says it's nice to meet Billie, while both conscious, now he can cross premature burial off his bucket list. Paul kept him safe.
In the Private area, Paul is waiting and he flashes back to finding John leaning over Will's body in the mausoleum and holding a gun on him. John arrives, reports that Steve is doing better. John also says he hated lying to family. Paul seems to understand, but conveys his worry in the moment he heard the shot and his relief over realizing Will was alive. John realizes that Paul has feelings for Will. Paul admits he's not over Sonny, but he got through the crypt thing because of Will. At least something good came out of this, they muse.
At the Kmansion, Victor asks Maggie what she intends to do. Brady and Eve enter. Back and forth as the elder couple deflect their talk to Brady/Eve's relationship. Maggie asks for a moment alone with Brady and Victor, Eve offers to go check on Tate. Brady wants it spilled here. Eve is OK with leaving the room, okay with Maggie badmouthing her. She tells Maggie she's going in to this "whatever" with Brady with eyes wide open. She leaves; Maggie tells Brady she knows what they're doing with Eve. They try to deflect. Maggie reminds them of the Daniel mess, the Xander mess, all lies they've told. Maggie won't tell Eve, she wants Brady to do it. Maggie saw how Eve looked at Brady, and tells him how vulnerable Eve is. She thought he was better than this. Brady stomps out. Maggie leaves after telling Victor she still loves him, but has had it with him.
Chad enters his & Abby's bedroom, she's in bed. She never sleeps this late. She didn't have a nightmare, she reports to Chad. Alone, she reiterates this.
In Stefan0's bedroom, he takes out the urn lid and recalls his conversation with the bewigged Abby. This includes their talk about Abigail's mental history.
In the DiMansion study, Stefan0 enters as Chad is drinking coffee. Stefan0 asks about Abby, Chad deflects, Stefan0 pries about what happened last night. Chad tells him off, I know you want Abby, she doesn't want you. Big Zero flashes back to the wigged-out Abby kissing him. Abby enters, confirms that she'd never be interested in Stefan0 even if she weren't married. Chad takes Thomas a plate, Zero-boy wants to talk about last night and what happened between them. Blah blah as Abby talks about Doug's Place and Stefan0 talks about the encounter in his room without actually talking about it. She says he killed André, he says she did. He paid someone to dress up as Gabi and frame her. (She also mentions their talk about mental illness.) He can't back that up, so he leaves, Chad enters. Abby admits she blabbed their secret suspicions about Stefan0. She wants to go back at him more directly, Chad says no way. He gets a call and bolts. She has a blinding pain.
Upstairs, Eve is getting Tate ready for school, tells him that "great-grandma Maggie" is trash talking her downstairs. Later she is talking about her relationship with Tate's dad. Later, Brady enters, has sent Tate off to school, tells Eve that Maggie said he was a horrible person.
Out in the hallway, Lucas and Will have a talk. Lucas makes amends for not being there when Will was going through the battle between Susan and Sami. Back in the room, Kate and Billie talk about Kate's bad relationships and her son's (by the dialogue) bad track record. Lucas comes in, says he will pursue things with Chloe when she returns. Lucas (love his smile) says he loves having Billie around, but isn't she glad she's not sticking around?
Will comes upon John and Paul as they are finishing their talk (above), John apologizes to him. Will apologizes for thinking the worst of John, he should have trusted Marlena. Will tells John Billie's leaving tomorrow, so John zips off ("shoots over" is his poor choice of words) to see her. Will says the talk looked serious, Paul admits they were talking about Will, but won't tell him what they said, lest it swell his head.
John is visiting Billie, thanks for her help, etc. Kate seethes but John pretty much ignores her, says goodbye, leaves. Later, Billie and Kate have a brief chat as she gives condolences on the loss of André. Kate wants her kids happy, with the right people of course.
Downstairs at the Kmansion's front door, Maggie is packed and ready to leave. She's tired of forgiving Victor. She's lost count. She tells him that the trips and the romance are nice, but he loves his money and family and disapproving of their spouses/mates more than she can stand. Victor misses the point ("I can't believe you're leaving me over Eve,"). Maggie says this isn't the worst he's ever done, but it's the "straw that broke the camel's back." He claims he can't live without her.
Back in the DiMansion study, it's "time for Gabby to come out and play." She opens the secret door and leaves. Chad comes in looking for Abby. Stefan0 is undressing as Abby/Gabby (that's Abby dressed poorly as Gabi) barges in and makes complimentary statements.
