Re Sami and Austin, even more cringeworthy would be a reprise of Abigail and Austin, complete with Teen Ciara trying to get romantic with an inebriated Chad. On other fronts:
Joey learns from Jade that Dirk killed a store clerk during a robbery [Joey really needs to find better friends. Does Rory have a younger brother?].
Victor offers Kate a surprising deal. [What would that be, "hand over my stolen assets quietly and I'll let you live?"]
Eduardo is moved when he realizes that Adriana still has feelings for him. [He should be moved. Based on his past track record all he rates at best is polite toleration.]
Nicole and Dario hide in the closet while Kate gets a visit from Philip. [From crawlspace to closet -- Sonix magazine could fill a whole article with Nicole's adventures in small, enclosed spaces.]
With Deimos still missing, and presumed murdered, Victor keeps his eye on the endgame. [It's the end game all right -- the end of Deimos. Messing with the mighty Victor never plays out well in the end.]
