At Salem U Hospital, Daniel is telling a nurse to check on Brady every 4 hours, and to kick Melanie out in an hour, when Abigail enters and asks about Brady, who will be going home in the morning. Abigail reports that Jennifer is worried, causing Daniel to flash back to him accusing Jen of lying about JJ/Roxanne. Abigail and Dan then talk about JJ, and how he's crashed since Paige, but now seems happy. Abby goes back to work (WOW!), and Daniel pulls out his phone.
At the Horton House, Jennifer tells JJ he's looking handsome. JJ's never been so nervous, doesn't think Paige will show. Jennifer thinks that if Paige didn't say no, she must be willing to talk. Jen gets a call, tells JJ not to answer any calls from Daniel. Don't talk to him about anything, focus on Paige, keep Abigail in the dark. The more people who know, the better chance Paige may find out.
At the Pub, Paige is stirring her drink thoughtfully; Cole approaches and asks if she's ready to hang out. Sure, she says; they leave.
Later, JJ is in the VERY DARK arch/steps area, alone. JJ is about to leave when Paige appears, she couldn't stay away. This means the world to JJ. He again apologises for hurting her, will never do it again. Paige still can't get over how JJ was hooking up with this other girl, then one day decided he wanted her back, feels like if she could talk to Roxanne -whom she never really wants to see again- maybe she could understand. After some reluctance, JJ offers to give her Roxanne's number; Paige refuses. Paige asks if JJ hurt Roxanne; Paige can't understand how someone could be sleeping with JJ and not be hurt when he broke up. JJ says that every time they were together, "she" knew that Paige was the only person JJ loved. JJ never stopped loving her, he stayed away because he didn't think he was good enough for her; but now he realises that what she thinks is important, and he hopes she wants her.
At Paul's hotel room, Tori is explaining toSami Will that her being in Salem way back when had NOTHING to do with Paul. Sami Will doesn't buy it, tells her that she met his father here; he noticed a date in the corner of the infamous photo, dated 9 months before Paul's birth. Tori wants to know why Will is torturing her. (Her words.) He claims he's trying to save his marriage, thinks Tori is lying about Paul's father being dead, like she lied about never having been to Salem. Will threatens to tell Paul, Tori begs him not to. Will says they can both help each other, but Tori says she can't make Paul leave before the benefit is over, though he'll lie low until then. That's the best she can do. Will agrees to trust Tori to keep Paul out of sight but will detonate his truth bomb in Sonix about Paul's father if Paul doesn't leave town. Tori doesn't think Will knows who Paul's father is; Will understands why she doesn't want anyone to know Paul's father is a DiMera.
In the Square (which has artificial, but dusky lighting), Paul and the kids are yukking it up while John watches; Sonny approaches from the side with a smile. John asks if Sonny's ever met Paul. They've met, Paul explains; John just saw Will, who doesn't know Sonny's back already. John thinks this will be a terrific surprise for Will, it will make his day. The kids call John over, Paul explains that he stuck around to help Mr Black raise funds. Paul doesn't think he should stick around if Sonny & Will are going to work things out. Sonny says that's not the only problem. Paul tells Sonny to cut Will some slack, Sonny was the only guy Will was ever with, maybe that's why Will made "the mistake." Sonny can't believe Paul's defending Will, Paul backs down, thinks it's best if they don't see each other. Sonny thanks him, Paul says all he wants is for Sonny to be happy. Paul goes back to the kids.
Marlena flashes back to Paul's telling her about bedding Will; shakes it off, then knocks on the door. Eric apparently called her, worried about Serena. Eric is contemplating following Serena, wants to make sure Marlena would be OK with it. Marlena thanks him for staying while John was in the coma, but it was to be temporary, she'd be OK if he has feelings for Serena and leaves with her.
Outside Club TBD, Serena is leaving a voicemail for Melanie. Nicole (wearing that awful ostrich coat again) enters from the side, brings up how odd it was that Serena dropped TWO elephant statues. Why did she lie and say there was only one? Serena cracks a joke about Nicole forgetting to put all her clothes on, were both stressed, must have been having trouble, LOL. Nicole notices the snippy nature in Serena, Serena doesn't want to be challenging each other. Serena doesn't want to do this, leaves for her date with Eric. Nicole remains sure she saw two elephants, but does in fact have something better to do. She goes to Daniel's, was going to help him pick out the tie for his big presentation, he had an emergency patient - AND ACTUALLY DOESN'T TELL HER WHO BECAUSE OF HIPAA!! - texted her that it was off. She didn't see it, but has something else planned anyway. She plans to shave him, even though she loves the way he looks, but she reminds him about a cranky old board member who hates his five o'clock shadow. It'll also show his willingness to change. Next, a slow montage of the shaving. (Blecchch.) (I admit I fast forwarded through this but there did not appear to be dialogue.) Later, she's finishing up on his shave, their faces are close as she gets the hard-to-reach places on his chin & upper lip.
At "Edge of the Square," Serena has a slinky black dress on as she comes up to Eric, who introduces her to Navidad. (Boy, her outfit is weird.) Navidad leaves with a glare at Serena. Eric tries to get romantic, but Serena seems nervous. It's not about leaving Salem, though, which is a ways away. She asks Eric to get her another drink, then leaves Navidad and angry voicemail. Eric brings over her drink, she claims she just got a message from her boss that she needs to deal with now, even though she was really looking forward to "our" time. She promises to make it up to him; they exchange kisses and "I love you"s. After she leaves, Eric looks worried. Later, Marlena enters, wants to know what happened.
Later at the Horton House, Jen has brought Abby some tea so they can sit & relax. Abby is staring pensively out the window, relays her convo with Dr Dan, she is upset that JJ keeps so many secrets. They used to share everything, now she knows nothing about what's going on. Does Jen know? Jen fumbles, doesn't want to say anything, lets it slip that JJ is hoping to meet Paige, and this elates Abby. She orders Abby not to tell ANYONE about Paige & JJ talking. Abby questions JJ's thought patterns in hooking up with Roxanne, Jen says he realised he made a mistake, and Abby asking questions would just make it harder for him. Abby agrees.
John finishes up with the kids, who depart; Will arrives, wonders what's going on. John goes on about what a great guy Paul is, of course Will must know that since they spent all that time together, how he's helping raise money, he'll even send Will the photos (from today) so they can go on the website. Will is clearly ambivalent, but says great. They part company; John is excited for Will's surprise. Meanwhile Sonny arrives at his apartment, looks around and wonders what's going on.
Back at the hotel, Paul arrives, Tori asks about the photo session, which was fun; Tori checks that they'll be leaving before Sonny Kiriakis arrives, and Paul drops the news that they saw each other. Tori is shocked he went to see Sonny; Paul says it was a coincidence they ran into each other. Tori hopes they didn't talked, is shocked when Paul admits they did, but Paul states that it's clear Sonny wants to work things out with his husband. Paul will stay away from them. Everything will be OK, she should relax.
Outside Serena's hotel room, she is again trying to reach Navidad, enters her hotel and looks shocked.
Will is outside his apartment when his tablet rings, it's the photos of Paul & the kids from John. He backs into the apartment, and turns around to see Sonny. Will wasn't expecting him, they hug; Will missed Sonny, is glad that they're alone so they can talk. Sonny points to the desk full of Paul junk, says, "First you sleep with Paul, now you're obsessed with him?"
And we end with JJ asking Paige if she can forgive him.
