At Teen Loft 1, Theo is trying to coax Claire out of the bathroom. Marlena arrives, Claire lets her in, and the Doc shoos Theo from the room. Marlena chastises Claire for talking about sex with Jade and how big of a step sex is. Marlena does not feel Claire's ready. Claire explains they thought things through and were safe, but Marlena reminds her of several fads Claire went through and likens her relationship with Theo to these (being a vegan, freeing Tibet, blah blah). The upshot is Claire thinks Ciara's in love with Theo, confesses she did a bad thing but not sex - withholding Ciara's letter (though we don't see this, unless I missed a scene). Edited to add: I did not see a scene today where Claire and Marlena discussed the letter; that's just my assumption. Marlena vanishes after the scenes with Claire.
At the Kmansion, Sonny and Victor talk about Sonny's island dopery, and how Sonny was right about Deimos. Victor announces that Sonny is the new CEO of Titan. Sonny literally says, "Awesome." Not so, Victor says, it's sink or swim time. Victor laments some of his ethical slips, hope Sonny can keep his. Sonny will.
At the Dimansion, Chad and Gabi talk about the Dario/Abby marriage, and how Chad has moved on. Kate and André enter, glad that Chad/Gabi are alive. They announce that Kate is married to Mr André DiMera. They explain the move was business and that Mr Shin is saying true but nasty things about André. Chad is outraged, Kate explains it is just for six months. This does not quell the young survivor's fury, and he goes to "fix" the situation with the board.
Gabi asks Kate what she will do when she meets a man she loves and is married to André. Kate says she met the man she loves, and lost him, that's her pattern. She's breaking it. André needles Gabi about her business knowledge, Chad returns and announces he has to wait six months to reclaim his company. Kate and André have ground rules. Chad will keep an eye on them. André vows to keep the family together. Conversation turns to Chad/Gabi, things are good. André jokes about moving Kate's things to his room, she keeps ground rules firm. He leaves. (Gabi has left, too.) Kate congratulates Chad on conquering Gabi (not her words).
At the Pub, Valerie calls Eli and leaves him a message, she is glad he's back home, needs to see him. Theo joins her when he arrives to meet Lani, who is not there, at Valerie's invitation. They discuss the video (which Theo assumed correctly Abe told Valerie about) and how fortunate that the video didn't get onto the web. Theo questions the nature of sex and admits he blew it by not believing Claire didn't have anything to do with the video. Her phone rings, she has to take it.
At the police station, Lani encourages Eli to call his mother back. She lays out a good case, and he admits he never doubted that his mom loved him even though she did wrong. Eli calls Valerie, asks to see her.
Pub: After accepting Eli's invite, she tells Theo about how tough it was to let Eli grow up, and how the crash brought those memories back. Eli appears, hugs. Theo hugs Lani, too, asks if she was scared. She asks about Theo's problems (Abe told her). They'll talk at the weekly dinner at Dad's. Theo leaves. Meanwhile Eli and Valerie have made up, he takes full responsibility for their rift. Julie comes in, happy to see Eli. Eli learns that Julie and Valerie buried the hatchet, they are family. She has a surprise for him, wants to show him (and invites Lani, too). Julie gives him a tour of the Martin house, which used to belong to Eli's great-grandfather, and now belongs to him (Julie & Doug bought it for him "when it came up for sale again" and they've been working on it since before Eli went to Greece). She wants to throw a welcome back party for the island folk there.
In a DiMansion hallway, André tells Gabi that she's on notice. Gabi stands her ground. Later, Kate congratulates her in the study, Gabi says it's a relief to be home, but she's not moving in yet. Meanwhile at the landing, André tells Chad it's a good thing the cursed amulet wasn't along with them on the plane. It was, Chad admits, but he got rid of it.
Theo comes back to the Teen Loft, Claire stops his apology, gives him the letter. She tells him if he can forgive her, he knows where she'll be.
Sonny tells the amulet that he will be strong. Seriously, he is talking to jewelry about making Titan strong and not being afraid of the amulet.
André offers Kate a nightcap and they discuss André staying out of Gabi's way, lest he earn Chad's ire. Kate doesn't believe André's assertion that he'll be the "soul of discretion" and warns him that a move against Gabi is a move against Chad and Kate.
Chad kisses Gabi good-by before she leaves for home. They'll both rest easily tonight.
Edited to add: Ed. Note: I think I got everything important. My cable was cutting out during a few early scenes. I'm now trying to figure out if it was my line or the line to the house (it splits outside and comes in in three places). Of course, I set the other TV to NBC, and lo and behold, no blips on either set after that. Oy vey.
