At the Kmansion, a neatly-dressed young woman exits. An exasperated Brady closes the door, tells Jeannie Theresa that they've interviewed half of Salem without success. Why is everyone unqualified? Jeannie is smirking. Later, Brady is on the phone, delaying work until he can get to the office. He and Jeannie T discuss some of the candidates they've seen, including one whom they caught googling Brady's net worth. Jeannie T has looked at some parenting websites, they have to have the right nanny. Jeannie has to check in at the hospital, will be back later. Maggie comes in, lamenting there's no nanny yet, while outside the front door, Jeannie T smirks that she's rigged the system. Later, back inside, Maggie has marvelled over Tate, and she and Brady discuss the nanny search. Jeannie T has the questions, picked the agencies, etc., because he's so logged at work. Maggie suspects Jeannie T is prolonging this in order to remain at the Kmansion. Brady just wants this to be over. Maggie reminds him to change the things he can change.
In a dark part of the park, Jeannie and Anne are talking about how excellent their plans are. Apparently Anne has a friend who helped them rig the system, there are 10 terrible nannies for every good one. Anne mentions her friend will want compensation. Jeannie promises she'll come through, and they talk about how Jeannie's not after Brady for his money, she loves Tate, etc. A lady arrives, Megan, snacking on something, throws it on the ground. This is your dream nanny, Anne states. She keeps littering as she talks about her qualifications (worked for the Mannings in East Salem, and the Hawkins, etc.). She keeps littering, Jeannie T instructs her that part of the job involves pushing Jeannie T/Brady as a couple.
At Aiden's office, Ben has been summoned. Aiden got a call from Florida. Ben is worried; he thought the case was closed. Is there anything more, Aiden wonders? Ben reasserts that he shouldn't have held back in their initial meeting, but all he did was tell people where they could find gambling, if they asked. Reminder that Ben was called "Kevin Reynolds" in Florida in order to hide from Clyde, who didn't find him. Aiden assumes this is nothing, tells Ben to go about his evening. Ben leaves; Aiden ponders.
In the bushy clearing, at night, Clyde is talking to a henchman. They have "everything they need" on the lab technician, it all goes down tonight.
In Abby's office, Kayla delivers the good news that she's 8 weeks along, and can have the paternity test. They have Chad's DNA on file, which they will use to compare paternity. Kayla claims this is barely questionable and almost not a privacy violation. Kayla thinks this will relieve Abby, they talk about how her family will support her. No matter who the father is, the baby is YOURS, Kayla says. Abby worries how they'll feel if the baby's a DiMera. Kayla reminds her that nobody in "this family" loves Sydney/Johnny less because of who their father was. And the baby could be Ben's, concentrate on that, Kayla suggests. There's a cul-de-sac about Abby keeping the baby. Abby hasn't changed her mind, she's just overwhelmed. Martin Heinz will handle everything, Kayla will remove Chad's name from the samples, Abby's name won't be on the samples. Everything will be anonymous. She gets a text from Will. (See below.)
At Will/Sonny's, Will brings Arianna to Chad. While Chad is holding Arianna, Will flashes back to last Tuesday's talk with Abby about what she'll do if Chad is the father. As he takes Ari back, Will tells Chad Sonny's not here. Chad came to see him. Will has to put Ari down for a nap, in preparation for a trip to the sitter's. Will comes out, as Chad is looking at a photo. They talk about Grace, whom Will remembers well. She would have been 6 in January. Chad thinks of her anytime he sees a little girl, especially Arianna. But he came to talk about Abigail. He's been trying to talk to her, but she won't answer his calls. He talked to her "TODAY" at the hospital, she was angry, and he was thrown out by "Ben's old man." Will wonders what made her angry. Chad says he did something horrible, unspeakable ×10, "LAST MONTH." He did it because he loves her. Chad needs to correct the situation quickly, before Ben takes it to the next level. (He mentions talking to Marlena about this.) Will wants to know what Chad will do if Abby's "sold" on Ben. He says he'll back off, but he needs her to know how he feels. Asks for Will's help getting to Abby. He texts her, and after her scenes with Kayla (above), is on her way over. Chad wants to ambush her, Will says no. Chad will wait in the park.
At Eric's, replay of Eric clasping Nicole's hands and vowing silence about "what happened" that night. Nicole thanks him, asks if he's over her. Eric says no. Nicole is flummoxed, he can't have it both ways. He talks about his thought process, how he only wanted to tell Daniel because he thought he could have her then, it was selfish. But her truly loves her, and wants her happy. Nicole is grateful, relieved, but still worried about Serena. Eric won't say a word, no matter what Serena tries. She leaves, and while they're outside, Caroline walks up. She mistakenly thinks that Eric and Nicole got back together and she forgot, Eric reminds her they're just friends, tells Caroline about Daniel/Nicole. Caroline wishes them well, Nicole leaves. Caroline tells Eric that he deserves to be happy, too.
At Daniel's, replay of Serena telling Daniel there's something he needs to hear. About Eric. Daniel invites her in, warns her that he won't help her fix things with Eric. She didn't come for a favour, she came to do one for him. She decides to wait until Nicole arrives, as she should hear this, too. Sits down. Daniel fumes, Serena learns Nicole lives there, Daniel says they're engaged. Daniel tells Serena, "We're done." Serena says they need to do this now. Daniel again attempts to throw her out, doesn't want her to trash Nicole, she says this is information she would want if she were about to marry someone. Daniel doesn't trust the source, goes to throw her out. She says Eric and Nicole slept together the night they almost died. Daniel is sick of her games, he doesn't have to believe her, she says, "Listen to your good friend." Plays him the recording, where Eric says they "started to make love." She tries to play it for him again, he stops her. Serena says she's made mistakes, but admits to hers, unlike Nicole. As she leaves she hurls more Nicole insults. Daniel slams the door.
Still in the clearing, Clyde gets a call from Ben about the Aiden situation. Later, he startlingly greets Aiden in his office. Clyde wants info on who called, Aiden can't discuss it, but Ben is free to disclose it if he wishes. Clyde pushes, Aiden holds strong. Clyde leaves.
At the hospital, Kayla is talking to Martin for a favour as a bearded man watches.
At Will/Sonny's, Abby has arrived. Will asks about the test, learns it's tomorrow, and Abby vows to tell him. He tells her he wants to talk about Chad. Abby flips, acts hysterically. Gets furious when she finds out Chad was here, wants to know WHAT Will told him. Abby is furious, tries to leave. Will tells her Chad's in love with her.
Later, the bearded man calls Clyde, saw Martin talking to "the lady doctor," has plans to follow Martin home. Clyde calls someone else, says, "It's a go."
At the Kmansion, Jeannie T has brought Megan, who spits her gum out on the front porch. Calls to Brady, who has found the perfect nanny.
In his office, Aiden tells someone on the phone to "keep digging" because he wants to know everything about Clyde Weston. He hears a noise and jumps.
In the park, Chad gets a call, thinks it's Will, but it's Zoe. He begs her off, waiting on an important call. Ben appears.
Walking through the park, Martin is intercepted by Clyde, who won't let him pass.
In the Square (which I think has artificial light), Caroline is walking with Eric. She tells him not to give up on love, despite having been hurt. He says his family and friends are enough for now; Caroline doesn't think so. Caroline leaves; Eric spots Serena.
At Daniel's, Daniel is talking to Maggie, but he doesn't want to talk about the engagement party. He is a bit choked up, agrees to hear her possible dates. Looks at the pad (where he wrote the dates) as Nicole enters, as she waxes about how everything's perfect (while his back is to her). He turns, glaring; she asks what's wrong.
