Families Reunite
Johnny (Carson Boatman) and Chanel (Raven Bowens) cuddle with their newborn baby in the hospital. Across town, Chad (Conner Floyd) reunites with his children, Thomas (Cole Gersmeyer) and Charlotte (Pippa Blaylock), when Jack (Matthew Ashford) brings them home to Salem.
Later, Jack runs into Gwen (Emily O’Brien), who’s sipping a drink outside with Leo (Greg Rikaart). “Could I give my daughter a hug?” he asks.
A Couple’s Breaking Point
Tensions are high between Stephanie (Abigail Klein) and Alex (Robert Scott Wilson) thanks to Joy (AlexAnn Hopkins), who won’t let Stephanie near her daughter, Kelsey. “We can’t keep going on like this,” Stephanie tells her husband when they run into each other outside their apartment door. “What are you saying?” responds Alex.
Remembering the Past
Cat (AnnaLynne McCord) has another hypnosis session with Marlena (Deidre Hall). “You’re at the clinic now,” Marlena instructs her patient. “You’ve finished reading to EJ (Dan Feuerriegel). What happens next?”
Protecting the Present
Speaking of EJ, he’s desperately trying to tie up loose ends and keep his name out of the drugged water nightmare. He places a phone call to someone and says, “I need you to get on George Halloran and make sure he keeps a lid on this Coriseal situation.” Knowing EJ, he’ll go to any lengths to make that happen.
A Letter from Lexie
Abe (James Reynolds) and Theo (Tyler Joseph Andrews) struggle with coming to terms with Lexie’s (Nikki Crawford) death. The pair is in her hospital room, and Theo finds a letter Lexie left him. He starts to read it. “My dearest Theo…” it begins. Will Lexie’s final words offer her son the comfort he needs in this trying moment?
