At the Jonas apartment, Brady is flummoxed by Melanie's admission that Jeannie T wants to take Tate to California. Flashback included. Melanie is unable to tell Brady about Jeannie's blackmail because of her babbling and the arrival of Aiden, who looks worried. Aiden warns him that he can't promise victory, partially because of Kristen kidnapping Tate. They both have bad histories, Jeannie T's pokering John, Victor's gangster past and investigations by the ISA, are all mentioned. Aiden wonders if Jeannie T is serious about moving to California since she & Kim don't get along. Mel's sure she's serious. Aiden leaves; Brady wants to know exactly what Jeannie said. Melanie says Jeannie said she's still in love with Brady, couldn't stand to see Mel & Brady together. Brady is furibergasted (furious/flabbergasted), rushes out, he'll call later.
In her hospital room, Jeannie T is telling a thrilled Kim that she's keeping an "open mind" about California. Kim's ready to fight for custody; Jeannie T is sure that Brady will do what's best. Kim tries to reassure Jeannie T that she'll be a good mother. She'll stand by her as long as it takes to win custody of Tate. Jeannie T doesn't think that's a good idea, she'd rather work it out privately with Brady. Victor won't railroad her, because Caroline is on her side, and she can control Vic (LOL). Kim will head back to California to wait for Jeannie to return. Jeannie will be okay, Anne enters, she and Kim have an odd moment. Kim leaves; Anne is furious that Jeannie's leaving her and returning to the "land of Botox." Jeannie laughs.
At the Kmansion, Justin is talking with Elsa, can't wait to see her when he gets back to Dubai. Victor enters, is curious as to why he's rushing back. Victor jokes that Justin has to rush back to his mistress, "Olga," says he knew all along, even before Adrienne. Justin won't stand a lecture from Victor, who's no saint, because he has to leave...but Victor says he's not leaving. Later, Victor returns from an interruption, Justin tries to beg off, will call him from Dubai. He's not going to Dubai, or Dublin, or Dubuque...Victor's replaced him. No reason for him to go to Dubai now, except for his mistress. Justin is convinced the negotiations will fail now, Victor tells him "Peterson" will do a good job, and will get along swimmingly with Olga. LOL
In the Square, Lucas and Adrienne tentatively hold hands. Lucas wants to tell Jennifer now that Justin's returning to Dubai. Kate overhears and goes ballistic, why stop there? Lucas calls out her hypocrisy, pointing out that he'd not be hear had she herself not shacked up with a married man. Kate claims that's why everyone in town hates her, she doesn't want that for him. Neither does Adrienne. Kate continues to try to convince Lucas she's out for him, despite stealing his job, he reiterates that he wants her out of his life, once and for all. Kate thinks Adrienne turned Lucas against her. She gets a call, he tells her to take it, needling her about losing distributors, designers. Kate leaves, Adrienne feels bad about the situation; Lucas tells her not to worry.
At Club TBD, Xander congratulates Eric on his pending move, offers him a drink. Daniel comes in, Xander invites him to join. Daniel doesn't want favours from him. Eric steps away, and Daniel tells Xander he's tired of his explanations, which are usually not true. Round and round about the pursuit of Nicole. Daniel isn't buying the "good guy act." Xander tries to tell him he's genuine, but gets a text and has to go. Tells Eric he'll see him in Honolulu if not before he leaves Salem. Outside, Xander calls Navidad, who informs him that Nicole & Serena are together. Meanwhile, Daniel & Eric commiserate about Nicole and Xander, who Daniel believes is dangerous. He's not who he appears to be. Eric muses that's what Serena said; Daniel is aware of this, but reveals no more. Daniel's got to go; Eric doesn't tell him he's leaving.
At her office, Nicole is trying to get rid of Serena, who insists that Nicole is making a horrible mistake. She needs to stay away from Xander. If Nicole gets in too deep with Xander, she will ruin her life & lose Daniel. Nicole thinks Serena's jealous, then that Xander will spill secrets about Serena if Nicole gets close to him. Serena has Nicole's number, knows she's doing this for Eric, getting close to Xander to get to Serena. Serena claims that Xander is unbalanced & unscrupulous, and wouldn't hesitate to hurt Nicole. Nicole claims that Xander is sweet and charming, albeit a bit intense. Serena tells her that Xander is having her watched, offers no proof, just wanted to warn her before leaving town...and she's done. Serena storms out; Nicole looks pensive.
Still in her hospital room, Jeannie cackles, she thought Anne was smarter than that. Anne points out that Jeannie T has a history of making "horrifyingly stupid decisions," but she's glad she's sticking around. Jeannie is distracted, sure Brady will be here any minute to read her the riot act, but she's prepared to handle him. Brady storms in, won't get away with this. Tate is staying with Melanie & Brady, Jeannie T can go to hell. Brady will be in his son's life, and Melanie in his, shouts Brady. Jeannie acquiesces. Brady leaves; Anne is stymied by Jeannie's performance, wonders what her game is. Jeannie points out that Brady's been angrier at her, and they worked it out. Blah blah blah.
Lucas and Adrienne have taken it to the hotel, Lucas forgot how good it feels when he's disowned his mother, asks Adrienne to remind him of this if he accidentally lets Kate worm back into his life. Smoochy time, replete with sex montage.
At the Kmansion, Justin is furious that Victor's keeping him here to work on things with Adrienne. Victor explains that Justin's marriage is the least of his concerns, wants Justin to steer Sonny away from Will. Kate arrives, wondering why Victor summoned her; to meet your new boss, he explains, telling Justin, "That would be you." Victor is upset that Kate lost so many designers, wants Justin to supervise Kate closely. Over Justin and Kate's protests, Victor explains his motivations, hopes that Justin will want revenge on Lucas for sleeping with Adrienne.
In the dark Square, Serena and Eric meet. She's worried, wants to stay with him for the night. Eric wants to know why she's lying to him. She claims it's the move; he asks if it's about Xander. She wonders why, denies it, wants him to take her home and hold her.
Alone in her office, Nicole is getting stir-crazy, thinks Serena's a nut case Closes her blinds, and starts when Xander enters the room for their dinner date. Nicole tries to beg off, claiming she's tired; Xander wonders if she's avoiding him. She really wanted dinner, but wouldn't be good company; offers him a rain check. He brings up Daniel, about whom she doesn't want to talk, so they can focus on themselves. He pecks her cheek; leaves. Alone, Nicole wonders if she's really being watched; if she is, she can't go to Daniel's. What has she gotten herself into?
At the Jonas apartment, Melanie flashes back to learning Daniel is her father, has forgiven Carly, but still wishes she'd been raised by her parents. Daniel enters; Melanie is crying, he tries to console her. Melanie admires how Chloe & Daniel worked things out over Parker, Daniel says they get along great. Daniel has to get something ready for Parker's arrival; Melanie is resolute in what she must do.
In the gated-off park, Navidad and Xander meet. Xander didn't find out what Nicole & Serena talked about. Orders Navidad to keep watching Nicole, if she makes one wrong move, he's prepared to end this whole thing.
