Eric is packing in his apartment. Marlena enters, asks him what's going on. He's starting over. Marlena tells him that his memories of Serena will fade, and there will be someone else. He thinks about his steamy time with Nicole, says that's not going to happen. They talk about Eric's trust issues because of how Serena and Nicole betrayed him, as he continues to flashback. She just wants to see him happy. There's a knock at the door as Marlena's leaving; it's Serena. Marlena is briefly confrontational, Eric says he can handle Serena. Marlena leaves. Eric demands to know what she wants. (Earlier, Serena had been staring wistfully out her hotel window, flashing back to overhearing Nicole & Eric talk about their secret.) She claims she's donating a picture he gave her to an art show, and came to return something he gave her. He rages, tells her he's getting rid of everything that reminds him of Africa, of you! Serena thinks this is a mistake, Eric tells her to GO. Whatever Nicole said the other day goes double for him. Serena wants to know what really happened between Eric & Nicole.
Nicole arrives at Dan's apartment, says, "Honey, I'm home!" She enjoys being at home, realises Dan's not there, checks her messages. Sees the drawer, remembers that Dan told her not to go in there. Takes a peek while Daniel secretly watches. It's a "Welcome Home Nicole" picture Parker drew (and faxed from Chicago? LOL). Kiss, kiss. She admires how he's cleaned up (he's honestly unrecognisable) as they talk about her surprise, which was NOT the picture. They are heading to a lunch date, she has to wait for her surprise.
At Club TBD, in Sonny's office, Will and Sonny talk about Justin and Adrienne's divorce. Will says some marriages just end in divorce, doesn't mean couples don't love each other. It could happen to us, Will says. Sonny's taken aback; Will talks about his therapy, how he was disrespectful to Paul. Will admires how Paul's taking things slowly. Sonny asks if that's what Will wished he had done, Will negates this, is glad he married Sonny, wants them to be married forever. But considering their parents' numerous marriages, divorce is a possibility. Sonny takes Will's hand and says they'll take it one day at a time, together.
In the park, replay of Clyde researching Abby's prescription. He realises Abby's pregnant, and is muttering to himself when Ben appears and asks what's up. Clyde deflects, Ben talks about his rivalry with Chad during the basketball game. Ben boasts about roughing up Chad; Clyde asks if things are OK with him & Abby. Ben vehemently states that everything's great. Clyde realises Ben doesn't know Abby's pregnant. He talks out loud in the bushy clearing, flashes back to Ben talking about overhearing Chad/Abby, realises Abby doesn't know "who the daddy is."
Repeat of Rafe and Hope talking in front of Club TBD about Ben, Rafe wonders why Hope's suspicions are up. Aiden comes over, asks how it went with Abigail. She tells him things are fine, they quibble, Rafe interrupts, tells them he got Ciara an umpire gig. Rafe looks at Hope and Aiden oddly as they talk about Ciara and Chase. Later, Hope thanks Rafe for the save, he says he sensed his "partner" needed backup, asks what's going on with Abigail. Hope flashes back to her talk with Abby. "You may be able to fool Aiden, but I know you, Hope," Rafe says. Hope's taken aback. Rafe dials it back, Hope admits there's more, but she can't talk about it. Rafe accepts it, apologises for his remark about Aiden, they're crazy about each other. But if he knew Hope the way Rafe does, he'd be even crazier about her.
Repeat of Chad telling Arianna about his daughter, Grace. (Arianna is repeating what Chad says, it's too cute for words.) Chad lamenting that Grace would be a first grader now, and that he'd be a great dad. Abby hears all this, then gives herself away as she tries to leave. Chad updates her on how he came to be watching Ari, asks if she's OK. She abruptly tells him she's fine. He hands Ari to her, touches Abby's elbow gently, they exchange looks. He makes an art comment that takes Abby off guard, they talk about Grace (Chad's been thinking about her a lot lately), he keeps trying to get her to open up. Snip and snipe. Abby says, "It's clear how you feel," Chad says she can't know the truth. Before she can get him to unpack that, Will arrives to pick up Ari, and Chad leaves. Will drags her to his apartment.
Sonny is in his office (in another new shirt), Chad arrives on the pretense of talking business, Sonny wants to talk about Abigail. Chad evades, Sonny persists. They go round and round, Sonny wants to know why Chad something so mean that Abby would be so angry at him. Wonders what he did, was it before Chad left town, or since he came back. Chad says he did what he did because he's a DiMera, Sonny doesn't buy this. Chad says he did what he did because he could, and leaves.
At Will/Sonny's, Will has put Ari to bed, tries to get to the bottom of what was happening between Abby and Chad. She talks about the "truth" he mentioned, figures it's just more of Chad's games. What will you do if Chad's the father, Will asks. She's not having an abortion, she states, she'll leave the country. Live in Europe. Nobody will know (besides Hope & Will). Will's sure that Hope will tell Jen if Abby skips the country, but Abby says she needs to keep it a secret and WILL needs to help her. Will points out the Hortons outnumber the DiMeras, they're strong and will protect her. Abby laments that the problem is bigger than Chad/the DiMeras, she's worried about Ben and her inability to commit to a relationship. Will comforts her, says Ben could still be the father. Abby says then everything would be fine, and Will wonders what Abby would be running away from. Will thinks it's wrong, no matter how Abby feels about Chad, not to tell him about his child, especially after how Chad lost Grace. Abby continues to insist that she's not in love with Chad (but not very convincingly).
Meanwhile, Clyde is still hanging out in the bushes, "Ewe search"-ing paternity tests, finds out they need to wait to 8 weeks, which is pretty soon. Flashes back to overhearing Chad and Stefano's conversations. The last thing Ben wants is to let all that money slip through his fingers, even if his girlfriend is "a DiMera whore."
Daniel and Nicole are having lunch in a brand-new restaurant (I guess his alleged "Mom's" two restaurants were booked? LOL). [Yes, there's dialogue stating this is a new location.] They caress as he talks about how he wanted this to be special. He has a surprise hidden in the bread basket for her. It's bread, Nicole hams it up while eating it, while Daniel looks uncomfortable. Tells her things can't go on like this, let's cut to the chase, get this over with, can't stand it any longer. Nicole stalls for a second, Daniel pulls out a ring, drops to one knee, and asks her to marry him.

And why was Aiden barely on? Same with Marlena.
But her skipping town and going to Europe? Lordy, what a dumb plan. And I'm surprised that bratty, conniving Will was trying to talk her into doing the right thing!
I'll one up ya Jason and propose the show drop all current storylines and just show those three for the remaining 20-ish episodes before new material hits.
