John and Marlena are in the Square, finishing a meal. Marlena and John have to part; she is going to see Roman against her better judgment.
Abby and Gabi are in Gabi's office talking about business. They disagree about how to spin the press release. (Gack, these scenes are terrible.) They also compare notes on the psychos they use to love.
Vivian and Stefan-0 are in his office. She's going to check some things out, and leaves. He looks at Abby's photo ID. Then he stalks to her office and gets the press release, while returning the ID badge and asking his female employee to dinner. (Replay of Abby refusing and the smarmy sexual harasser saying he'd been asking Gabi.) He claims to be turned on by her spirit, despite her insistence that she can barely stand ham. They talk about Gabi's policeman boyfriend, and Stefan-0 slams the Salem PD and the "trigger happy cop" that put "my nephew" in the hospital. Abby steps up, says the hacker is actually responsible. Stefan-0 wonders if she thinks he's guilty now; she backs down, he retracts his offer until Gabi's single. Gabi leaves to meet Kate and André. Abby asks Stefan-0 what is wrong with him. Back and forth between the smarmer and Abby talking about sexual harassment. The disgusting upshot is that Stefan-0 thinks Abby is jealous because he didn't sexually harass her. She slaps him. He tries to joke his way out of it. Back and forth until I'm sick.
Anna meets Roman at the Pub. She's upset and wants to eat dinner elsewhere than Doug's Place, because of André. She fixates on André's being alive while Tony is dead. Roman tables DiMera talk; Anna agrees and needs to polish Tony. Marlena arrives and they discuss the dust-up in Prague, for which Anna apologizes. Marlena gently counsels Anna on the Tony's urn thing, suggesting that Anna scatter Tony's ashes someplace special to them. Anna figures them out, tells them off, scoots. Marlena steps back; Roman apologizes, he just wanted to help Anna move past Tony. Anna says Tony is a part of her life, he needs to accept that, or they should end their relationship. She wants someone who accepts her flaws, and they end their dalliance. She stalks away.
Chad and John meet at the Private Area, where Vivian is lurking. John thinks he has the goods to prove Stefan-0 was behind the corporate hacking. John has figured out that the warehouse was a front, and the hacking wasn't a hacking, but an inside job. He's closing in on the suspect, Chad also has a suspicion. Vivian drops her purse, alerting the private talkers. They apprehend her; she claims to have been examining the local flora when she heard her nephew's voice. (Some funny lines here.) Chad and John cover (badly) by talking about John's daughter who works for DiMera; she invites John to meet her son, then scoots away. Chad wants to take care of some things before he tells John his suspicions. John reminds the viewers that whoever the inside person is, is culpable for Theo's shooting.
At Theo's room, Kate and André are flummoxed that Theo has been spirited away before they could see him. André tries to absolve Kate by blaming his own actions starting with the press conference, which caused Kate & Chad to lose trust in him. André wants Kate to lean on him, and offers to take some duties for her because Lucas is getting out of rehab today.
At André's office (which is amazingly swank and huge), André is finishing up a secret call when Vivian arrives, alerting him that John is closing in on him. André can't cool Chad's jets, it would arouse suspicion; André and Vivian worry about their plan. They are concerned about stopping the flow of cash from Gabi's IPO, which is expected to bring in millions. (André is miffed that Gabi gets 60%.) André has a plan for that, and is glad Kate's not around, because he's about to put the hammer down on Gabi. Gabi arrives; Vivian introduces herself, then leaves. André fires Gabi.
Chad calls Abby, wants to meet. They meet in the private area, he updates her on the inside job. It was a classic move from the DiMera playbook, and he suspects André.
Back in the Square, John calls Steve, they need to meet. Marlena comes up. Their meetings were both bust.
Anna leaves the pub, and once outside finds a note from someone in her purse. Somebody is watching her.
In Stefan-0's office, he reports he's smoothed things over with Abby. Vivian says they have to neutralize André permanently. END

Vivian: As demonstrated today with John, she's good with the one liners. Unfortunately for her, she's awful as a conspirator. With John already closing in, it seems as if Vivian's little DiMera adventure will end as badly as the magic sarcophagus and her abortive takeover of Titan.
(Sorry, Jason, I couldn't resist.) Thanks for the summary.
I just don't understand it. And why did they replay SO MUCH from yesterday! At first I thought maybe I started the wrong day.
