Townhouse: Sami is reading the news. It's about Lucas. (She's reading The Intruder.) Marlena counsels her. Again, Lucas is a sociopath they've all misjudged for years, blah blah. Sami talks about Belle and EJ, more pity party, blah blah blah. Marlena aches for both her daughters.
Interrogation Room: Lucas doesn't want Kate to see him. She's hired the best defense attorney in the Midwest. He plans to plead guilty. He's tired of blaming his victims and covering things up. Lucas wants to protect the kids from a trial; Kate points out that confessing to the kidnapping will make Chad's murder case, thus harming the children with a trial.
DiMansion: Roman enters to see EJ (not Johnny). He apologises for rushing to judgment by believing that the rapist kidnapper had kidnapped his daughter this time when in fact it was Lucas. They talk about Roman dumping EJ's ex, and how long she knew.
Salem Inn: Chloe answers the door. Brady was knocking for five minutes. Her flustered demeanour and a closed door signal she's cheating. Belle spent the night. Brady lays in to his sister about the slimy EJ, cracks jokes about DiMera evils, realises he's missed a lot in the five days he's been gone. Belle explains. Brady points out that Sami will retaliate; Belle needs to tell Shawn-D herself.
Brady House: Steve is putting together a stroller, Kayla has a baby monitor, Shawn-D isn't sure what to do. The baby cries, Kayla goes to check on him. Shawn-D is grateful for the help, because Steve is happy to provide love to Bo's grandson even though Belle sees him as an obstacle. As they build the stroller with a 9AM beer, they recap Jan's antics and disappearance (still no word). Shawn-D will have to protect his son from his mother. Kayla returns, relates her experiences with the knife-wielding surprise stepson of her own, and how she now loves him like a son (another rewrite). Sami arrives, receives consolations, has to tell Shawn-D something before her meltdown. She spills it, over the protestations of their aunt. She pretends to be sorry, which an arriving Belle calls baloney. Belle points out that Sami's tale is meant only to hurt her, not to help Shawn-D. Kayla evicts the rapist, then she and Steve leave so Shawn-D and Belle can talk.
Police station: Lucas continues his downtrodden sulking (really when was any Salem criminal this penitent?) and Kate wants him to play this smart. A uniform enters to take him to the arraignment, and in the main workroom, EJ slinks in and lays into Kate after Lucas leaves. They trade barbs. The upshot is EJ will seek revenge at some later date.
Salem Inn: NEWS FLASH Rachel is staying with Tate and Jeannie T. Chloe thinks Belle and Shawn-D will work things out like Jeannie T and Brady did; Brady thinks the marriage may be over for good. Then they get frisky.
Townhouse: Roman and Marlena recap. Later, Marlena has tried to prevent Hurricane Sami by calling Belle. Kate arrives, she needs Marlena's help.
Brady House: Belle is sorry about how Shawn-D found out, wants to explain. He doesn't want to hear it. He recaps how he ended up with Jan in bed, and how Belle has been playing the victim in everything.
Police Station Workroom: The uniform tells Lucas his plea was a crock.
DiMansion Living Area: Sami gazes at the portrait of Stefano. EJ is glad she's back. She tells him off, is sick of bouncing between Lucas and EJ for the last two decades, is saying goodbye to Johnny before leaving Salem. She can't list (literally) the times he has hurt her. She's done. She leaves, EJ reacts and looks at the off-screen portrait. END
