Today's Episode prominently features background music. Good luck telling if it's a soundtrack or if the characters can hear it.
Pub with Country Music - Stephanie arrives late to a dinner with Jada and Rafe. They talk about the drugs/Bistro which plague the town and how it relates to their jobs. Rafe wants to get a round of pink Cosmos. Later, they have beers and Stephanie talks about working with two exes, one from Seattle. Jada reminds the viewers that she also once resided in Seattle. Later as Rafe goes to get more drinks, Jada talks about what a good guy he is, not like her horrible cheating ex. She found a big charge from a jewelry store and discovered his cheating. Stephanie gets a call she has to take (see below).
Cook-Horton Apartment featuring jazz - Sarah comes home and Xander has cooked even though she forgot the haggis. He is motivated to please her. Later as they are eating, they discuss her salary. It makes her uncomfortable since the last time they were broke it led him to crime. She's comfortable no matter what he thinks about her salary. He vows to be respectable for Victoria. Later, they are sipping wine and they discuss how Victoria looks like them. Sarah talks about losing Mickey and how they have this perfect, healthy child who represents their love at the time.
Marlena's Office - Alex has a last-minute appointment. He tells her he and Jeannie T made love despite his plan not to fall in love. He tells Marlena about the slip and taking care of her with Brady after the slip. He felt in the way with Brady and Jeannie T because of their history. He couldn't let Jeannie T leave because he feels magic tingly feelings for her. He contrasts it with Stephanie. (He needs Jeannie, he wanted Stephanie.) Marlena tells him he's in love. He can't believe it. He's so afraid of losing her. He considers asking her to marry him. Marlena asks how Jeannie T feels, and wonders if this is triggered by the horrible loss he experienced recently. (Justin not being his "real father".) He agrees to wait to propose. Later as the session ends, they giggle about his being in love.
Hospital Nurse's Station - Jeannie T comes in and says "hi" and "bye" to Aunt Kayla. Kayla won't let her leave. They talk about her slip and her aborted trip to California. She tells Kayla she stayed for Alex, then babbles about how self-aware she and Alex both are. (Kudos to Mary Beth Evans (Kayla) for acting like Kayla could understand this drivel.) She was torn for a second when Brady saved her, but she realized she needs Alex.
Kayla doesn't know her former almost-stepson and almost son-in-law well, but she believes people can change. She admits she initially used Alex as a tool to make Brady jealous, then as a device to keep her from feeling lonely. She never thought she'd develop real feelings and now feels guilt over something she's done to Alex. She doesn't clarify or reveal anything or move the plot forward at all. Kayla talks about amends (she's read about the 12 steps) and Jeannie T vows to make amends with those she's hurt. She reiterates this in the next scene.
Office - Everett tries to put the pieces together about the drug story. He talks (to himself) about Harris and Ava, Stefan and Ava, Stephanie's publicity job. He flashes back to telling Stephaie "no pressure". Then he says, out loud, "no pressure." (Good luck making heads or tails out of this scene.) Later, he calls Stephanie to ask about her reviewing his follow-up piece, and after some blah blah, she invites him to join her friends at the Pub. He accepts.
Pub without Music - Rafe mispronounces "geocaching" as they talk about the event. Everett almost enters the pub, but sees Stephanie with Jada and Rafe and leaves, ditching her with a text. Stephanie reports this to Jada and Rafe, Jada was really looking forward to meeting him. Later, they are leaving and talking about how much fun they had. Jada is so disappointed they didn't get to meet Stephanie's guy. Jada can see how much Stephanie likes this guy.
Cook-Horton Apartment still featuring slow jazz - Sarah and Xander are drinking various liquors as they discuss their building friendship. He's a great father, cook, and roommate. She's also a great roommate. They talk about the wedding cup and Robert Burns. He recites some poetry and she gets romantically excited. They kiss and she offers to take him to the bedroom. He declines. He's afraid of screwing things up again like he did in the past. Because of Victoria, the stakes are higher. She's glad he's thinking clearly. She loves him...for being the voice of reason. They hug, allowing Sarah a pensive one-shot.

Hospital by the Elevators - Alex and Jeannie T meet, each was thinking about the other.
Pub with regular background music - Jada and Rafe are getting hints they should leave. They're going to Rafe's place.
