Today we get a very emotional and pretty good episode! Finally some movement in the stories! And not much filler, if any, at all.
Belle leaves a message for Shawn-D, is exasperated with Marlena. Shawn-D sees all the calls and messages in his office, but has nothing to say to anyone. He is holding his gun. Belle is blaming herself for everything that happened with Brady and the lunch. Marlena comforts her and uses reason. Belle wants Marlena to tell her what Shawn-D said in their sessions but Marlena reminds her that's against the rules. Belle insists that Shawn-D is endangering himself, she needs to know the answer, but Marlena doesn't have any. Marlena does tell Belle that she's concerned after what she saw today. Marlena agrees to talk, as her mother.
Meanwhile, Paulina comes into Shawn-D's office, but offers to come back later if he's busy. He tells her to stay, she tells him that she's giving Rafe his job back. Shawn-D tells Paulina he's happy that Rawlings is gone and about how he wanted Paulina arrested, she appreciates his help. Paulina tells Shawn-D she wants him on as a detective since he's valuable to the force.
Shawn-D agrees with Paulina, she's happy to hear it and decides to go give Rafe the good news, asks if Shawn-D is alright, he says he is, thinks she'll make a great mayor as she leaves. Shawn-D throws away his commissioner sign and takes the gun out again.
Later, Belle and Marlena continue their conversation, as Marlena has updated her. Belle thinks Shawn-D is giving up, Marlena says hitting rock bottom isn't always a bad thing, it's a road to recovery for many. Belle thinks he might not decide to do that, Marlena doesn't think he's in a position to do much, he's grieving, feeling guilty and drinking. Belle lets Marlena know about Shawn-D's last conversation with Victor, which Marlena realizes is why he is hitting rock bottom.
Belle's scared and tearful, wants to return to the station and get some help, but Shawn-D walks in apologizing, Belle says they were worried about him, he says they need to take his gun because he's in an awful place. Marlena asks if he was considering self-harm? He isn't sure but knows he needs help now, Marlena reassures him. Belle says they are going to help him, it's going to be OK, they'll get through this together,
Marlena can speak with him now. Shawn-D apologizes for letting Belle down. She is proud he came to them for help, they kiss and Belle leaves. Shawn-D apologizes, Marlena tells him it isn't necessary, yada yada. Marlena says as her patient, she'll do everything she can to help him, reminds him she loves him as a family member. He loves her too, they hug and he is teary-eyed.
Jada arrives home, and is happily surprised that Rafe cleaned up the place. He says he couldn't spend all of his time watching Body & Soul. Later, they're in bed with margaritas that Rafe made, he says he learned when he managed a nightclub and flirting ensues as they begin to kiss. She apologizes in advance for messing up the bed he made so nicely. They keep kissing after Rafe admits he wasted his time making it.
After making love, they flirt, decide to eat downstairs but Rafe suggests making the bed messier first, and they begin making out. Rafe and Jada are downstairs eating later. Jada thinks this is all great when Paulina interrupts and reinstates him. Rafe is confused, Paulina explains her conversation with Shawn-D and asks if Rafe accepts?
Rafe reminds Paulina about the policy and how he's dating Jada. Paulina tells her that women shouldn't refer to themselves as subordinates, and they won't tolerate abuses of power. However, she's doing away with the old policy and so will the city council. However, Rafe decides to wait until the policy is amended. Paulina's shocked but Rafe likes hanging out with Jada.
Paulina decides to rush the policy through because the force needs him. Jada tells Rafe that he should take the job but he doesn't want to stop seeing her. She says it'll be temporary and she enjoys messing the bed up with him, but the city needs him and he loves the job. Rafe isn't sure he wants to return, but he is sure that he's falling in love with Jada.
Also watching Body & Soul are Abe and Patch, who brought Abe a beer. Someone's son is back from the dead. Steve shielded Abe from a commercial on memory-loss supplement to protect him. He apologizes for how Abe is feeling. Abe shares his frustrations about his memory loss. The show was broken into by the announcement that Paulina is the new mayor. Steve and Abe discuss Rawlings being a jerk. Steve thinks Abe and Paulina have a lot of faith in each other, reminds Abe she loves him, he knows. It kills Abe that he can't remember his relationship with Paulina. Steve comforts him and suggests he get closer to Paulina again.
Abe says Steve is pressuring him so he apologizes, but asks if Abe is attracted to her? Abe admits he is, but that doesn't mean he wants to share a bed with her. Patch isn't suggesting that. He needs to hit the brakes and can just go back to the beginning with Paulina. Abe appreciates the help but doesn't think Patch knows how this is.
Steve tells him his story about amnesia and the DiMeras, how Kayla never gave up and eventually he realized she was his destiny. Steve encourages him to try the same with Paulina, who shows up. She says she asked Rafe to take back his job and he is considering. Abe is happy to hear it and Paulina prepares to leave. Abe stops Paulina and asks her on a date, unless her job is keeping her too busy. Paulina can make some time for him.
Replay of yesterday's scenes with Philip and Chloe. He opens the door to a shocked Brady, who hugs him, he can't believe he is alive and well. Philip is happy to be in Salem because he missed everyone. Brady thinks Kristen was behind everything. He says Chloe was right all along, he can now appeal the custody ruling. Chloe finally tells Brady that Kristen wasn't responsible, and Philip fesses up.
Chloe thinks this isn't the best time for the conversation. Brady insists he hear the truth and Philip lets him in on what he did. Chloe tries to stop Philip, but Brady tells him to continue. Philip knows it isn't fair to ask for forgiveness, does so anyway and apologizes, but Brady punches him.
Brady wants to hit Philip again, screams at Philip about what he has done. Chloe tries stopping him, reminds Brady that Philip wasn't in his right mind. Philip says he was institutionalized but recovered and feels guilty. He wants to do whatever it takes to make this right, but Brady starts calling the cops. Chloe takes the phone, tells Brady to have compassion because Philip is grieving and was out of his mind.
Brady says Philip can go to Bayview. Philip tells him that Kate and Victor knew and sent him to Europe. Brady is outraged at Victor, though not surprised at Kate. Chloe tries defending everyone, but Brady rips into him. Chloe tells Brady to try and make peace in the family for Victor's sake. Chloe begs him for Maggie's sake, for the sake of his family.
Chloe asks if he's really going to have Philip arrested? He will consider it and leaves. Philip thanks her. He will need a lawyer because the truth will come out. Chloe hopes all will be well. She can ask Belle, Philip's friend. Philip is doubtful because Belle is Brady's sister.
Belle texts Shawn-D that she loves him and shows up at Chloe's, who asks for a lawyer. Belle assumes the lawyer is for Xander. Chloe says no and shows Belle that it's Philip. Belle hugs Philip and is so happy to see him. He hopes she still feels this way after she hears the truth. Meanwhile, Brady is in Shawn-D's empty office.
