Chad speaks on the phone with Mr Shin, assuring him he will live up to the DiMera name. Melanie surprises him; he says she looks Beautiful and welcomes her to Salem. Melanie came to clear up a few things, so their first meeting wouldn’t be awkward and public. Her presence in Salem is a coincidence, not because he’s here, and her feelings haven’t changed about him...although they did for a bit after Abby told her (last Winter) about Chad’s faking the brain tumor. He whines about EJ/Abby and how nobody takes Abby to task for that (in fairness, he was out of town for most of it). Melanie wants to talk about them, but instead, they talk about Melanie’s plans. They finally talk about their relationship, but Chad gets a call, and Melanie skips out on him.
Ben and Abby are making out as they enter his apartment, working their way over to the bed. After a few scenes, they get his shirt off and keep making out. (Warning: There is some sort of an attempt here to be arty, with lots of fades as they rub each other’s bodies. Gross.) Afterward, they talk about how serious they are.
Jeannie Theresa brings a big welcome basket to Paul and toss double entendres at each other with blatant disregard for Paul’s arm injury. Jeannie has been doing her homewrecking homework, having studied up on Paul’s career and culture, although she got a variety of Asian-Pacific foods. After they eat, Jeannie inquires about any special ladies in Paul’s life.
Rafe and T talk at Club TBD, apparently T visited Gabi recently. Sonny comes in after Will steps away, and blows a gasket when Rafe asks him about Will. Rafe clarifies that Will hasn’t contacted Gabi, who misses Ari. Tell her to take a number,’ Sonny spits. Rafe tells him to lose the attitude. Sonny apologises, explaining that whatwith the time difference and their schedules, he hasn’t been able to talk to Will, but promises to pass on Rafe’s message about Gabi. Sonny texts Will after getting his voicemail again. Later, he tells T he’ll drop some supplies at the hospital while en route the southside location, and checks for text messages. None.
Marlena and Clyde continue their sessions, with Clyde describing his father as a monster, admitting he was worse than his father. Marlena wants more info about Clyde’s father, but Clyde tries to take control of the conversation. Marlena tells Clyde to let her direct the course of therapy, or find another doctor. They talk about his temper.
In the bushy clearing, Jordan accuses Kate of “bringing that psycho into Salem.” Kate hilariously plays dumb, asking Jordan to be more specific. Jordan names names and Kate admits she brought Clyde to Salem. Kate claims she had to protect Rafe, since she was responsible for involving Jordan in his life in the first place. (Give it a rest, girl!!) Jordan finally puts it all together, realising that Kate was able to get Rafe back in the sack because of Jordan’s worrying about the returned Clyde. Jordan warns Kate that Kate has unleashed something on Salem that even she can’t control.
Back at Club TBD, Melanie visits T and he flirts with her, she asks him to let her surprise Sonny, and he gives her the scoop on Abby’s whereabouts.
Jordan bursts into the DiMera mansion, telling Chad not to trust Kate Roberts. Chad says he doesn’t trust Kate, but what has she done? Jordan reveals Kate’s part in Clyde’s arrival, how she tried to break them up, and boinked Rafe while he was with Jordan. Chad asks if Jordan still has feelings for Rafe.
At the Hospital, Rafe is looking for Marlena. Maxine tells Rafe to let Gabi know she’s thinking about her, and to hang in there. (Lots of Gabi mentions lately.) Marlena hears how Clyde’s father used to beat him, “batting him around like a plaything.” But one day, he cried during a beating, and his father looked at him differently, disgusted. He claims not to have cried since; Marlena asks him to think about the face his father made that day. During this exercise, Clyde says that he ruined the fun (with his dad), kids ruin everything. Marlena ends the session there, asking him to keep thinking about his father. He leaves her office, pauses, and says hi to Rafe as he passes by. Rafe looks perplexed; he goes in to see Marlena, and asks her to visit Gabi, talk with her, he’ll pay for the time. Marlena will gladly go see her, no charge, what’s the concern. Will, Rafe deadpans.
Anne holds Maxine off from discovering Jeannie & Paul; in his hospital room, he brushes her hair and they kiss. At the Nurses Station, a buzzer goes off, but another nurse stops Maxine (for about three seconds). Anne enters the room and tells Jeannie & Paul to break it up, and Maxine comes in seconds later. Jeannie makes no attempt to hide her activities. Paul defends Jeannie T, Maxine says there are rules to follow, Anne pulls Jeannie T away and scolds her. Anne says Paul is not her type, he’s not “edgy” enough, and they swap details. (Methinks Paul pushed his button accidentally on purpose.) Maxine finishes a vitals check (or something) with Paul, goes out the side door; Paul wanders out toward the Nurses Station. Sonny comes through (on the other side of the desk), dropping off supplies. (What a stupid and lame plot point - the Hospital orders supplies from a local club?) Paul looks at him for a really long time, and smirks. (Then again, he’s always smirking.)
Ben and Abby are done, he jumps in the shower. At Club TBD, T arranges for Melanie to drop off Ben’s phone at his apartment, and surprise Abby. Abby slips out (and into another apartment?) seconds before Melanie comes in, surprising a naked Ben.
Kate confronts Clyde, accusing him of revealing their connection to Jordan. He defends himself for about 45 seconds, then admits he might have slipped because of Kate. He mentioned that Kate hated chicory coffee to Ben, who might have mentioned it to Jordan. Kate is angry...what if Rafe finds out? Clyde tells her that she’s sexy when she storms through a door, and they start making out.
Rafe and Marlena talk about Will, how busy he is, etc. Rafe emphasises that Gabi is only holding on because of her daughter, she needs to hear from him. Marlena promises to help. Rafe starts to ask about Clyde, but stops short.
Paul has left his room, to Jeannie’s dismay. In the waiting room, Sonny is stocking when someone enters and locks the door. Sonny stands up, sees Paul, who pulls him into a kiss. (Let’s all put on our big surprise faces here.) Sonny does not pull away. (Now taking bets on how this plays out Monday...I’m going to guess this scene will be different.)
