Folks, my 14-year-old TV is on the fritz, so I am watching on the computer while I write. Sorry if I miss any acting moments.
Bistro - Paulina is worried that the wedding is in two weeks. She asks Chanel where Johnny is. He had something to do. Paulina is worried, was at the hospital this morning, but wants to focus on the wedding. (Yes, she took her anxiety pills this morning.) Eli is swamped and Lani's still locked up, so it will be a small affair.
Paulina has choices for the veil and dress, and a cake (she doesn't want Chanel to make her own). Chanel purports to love them, but her voice betrays her. Paulina pitches a bad idea and a bad color scheme to get Chanel to admit she hates them and is taking it easy on her because of Paulina's cancer.
Horton House - Chad is yelling up the stairs at the kids to get ready. Johnny arrives. Chad has to go upstairs to stop the kids' fighting. Later, Chad has ended the melée and Johnny gives him a tip to keep the kids from fighting over household items. Johnny tells him about the wedding, asks him to be the best man (too bad Johnny has no friends). Chad emotes and has reservations about bringing an innocent woman into the DiMera family. He cites the sad cases of Nicole/Holly, Gabi, and Abby as evidence. Remember how much Chad loved Abby and definitely they'd still be married if she weren't murdered 20 months ago?
Chad also points out Johnny's failed first marriage to Chanel. Johnny plans to move forward with the wedding without Chad's blessing. Before Johnny can leave, Chad apologizes because sometimes it's harder and he's reminded Abby is really & truly gone forever (this time!!). Johnny says Aunt Abigail was a great person and he's sorry about Chad's loss. He thought Chad had moved to a solid place with Stephanie, but no such luck. Chad advises Johnny to marry Chanel and flee the city. Johnny can't run from problems, especially with Chanel's mother's cancer.
Square - Alex and Brady, who are panting, chest thump over Jeannie T's kissing Brady. Brady doesn't want Jeannie T but Alex doesn't want to accept his cousin's numerous pronouncements. Thump, thump. Brady is worried about the slip; Alex feels she's recovering nicely. Alex asks what it was like being married to Jeannie T? Brady doesn't remember getting married; he slowly processes that Alex is considering wedding Ms. Donovan. Brady has no objections to the potential union, offers his help if Alex needs it with Jeannie T. Alex leaves. Brady then flashes back to telling Alex what he told him at the beginning of the show.
Police Station - Hunter, Michaels, Phillips, and Goldman come in after a successful drug bust. While the extras go to process two dirtbags, Jada Hunter admonishes Harris Michaels for kissing a suspect. After a bit of scolding, the extras re-enter and Harris wants to take everyone to breakfast.
Pub - Roman gets an update from the cops as he serves them breakfast, on him. Later, they've eaten and Roman has finished a funny anecdote as he waxes poetic about his time on the force. The cops toast to him. Later, Harris tries to pay at the bar. Roman refuses; they talk about Lucas's hiding location upstairs. He'll remain in hiding until it's safe.
Bistro (I think that's what this location is) - Johnny arrives as Paulina and Chanel are looking at wedding things. Paulina leaves to do mayor things. Johnny doesn't seem interested in the choices and suggests postponing the wedding. Later, he's explained his uncle's reservations and she's talked him off the plot-mandated stalling ledge.
DiMansion - Stefan answers the door. Xander (wearing a hoodie) wants to talk to EJ about a mysterious phone call. EJ isn't there but Stefan will listen. Xander relates the call he received last night. He didn't get the opportunity to say "no". Stefan (who has a weird mustache) recounts Xander's attempt to kill Nicole and Eric. Xander has never successfully killed anyone. The caller knew who he was. Stefan wonders why he thinks EJ is the contract hunter, points out the Kiriakis family has lots of grudges and bloody hands, too, and gets offended at Xander's swipe at his family honor!!
LOTS of plot rehashing (Xander working for Kristen and caring for EJ, blah blah). Xander tells Stefan to tell EJ that he's not interested. Stefan has doubts, tells Xander to leave. Xander will leave, but reminds Stefan that he's not for hire because he has a daughter. Later, Xander again tells Stefan he's changed and has a daughter. Xander tells Stefan to tell EJ to go to hell, and Stefan and the other DiMeras should/will join him. Xander leaves. Stefan smirks. END
