On today’s Days of Our Lives, we pick up from yesterday, with Stephanie assuring Philip that she won’t say anything about the letter and Xander overhearing just as his brother mentions keeping “our little secret” from Alex. Stephanie says she’s made her peace with keeping this from Alex and no one else needs to know that — Oh! She spots Xander lurking.
Philip panics: “What the hell, Xander?!” He and Stephanie try to cover their talk, but Xander can’t help but throw in a few comments about Steph and Alex and hoping nothing happens to screw it up. Philip tries to get Xander to go back to the office with him, but Xander says he’s got to do something and heads off cheerfully.
“Do you think he heard us?” Stephanie asks. Philips doesn’t think so, but Steph’s worried. Neither of them like this and Philip says he feels bad about lying to Xander now. But he wants to live, so he’ll pass on telling the truth. Stephanie’s still disgusted by him, even if she agreed to keep quiet.
Joy Quits Rather Than Be Honest
Joy stops Alex from leaving the Titan office, thinking back to her pregnancy results. She pauses, then says she wants to clear the air. Alex assumes she has feelings for him, but ew, no, this is life-changing news. But she mostly just rambles about everything but the pregnancy, not able to tell him, and instead saying she’s quitting her job.
Alex promises she won’t be a problem for him and Stephanie, as Joy none-too-subtly rubs her stomach and says, “You don’t know that.” She insists that her leaving makes sense, so she’ll just move back to New York. Body and Soul’s gone and her family is back there.
Maggie Brings Up Vivian
Maggie pops into the hospital to volunteer and says hi to Sarah while she’s there. She just came from volunteering at Statesville and had a run-in with Vivian. She wanted to talk about Philip and Victor’s letter. Sarah’s face freezes as she nods. Vivian just wanted to talk about how pleased she was that the letter gave Philip his shot at Titan. That and “she was so grateful that she was able to forge a new relationship with Philip.”
Maggie’s a bit confused about when they could develop this new relationship, but Sarah just nods. “Mmm. That’s strange.” She then talks it down, saying Vivian’s just kooky and delusional. Xander shows up and Maggie mentions her curious run-in with Vivian, but Sarah cuts her off and sends her to work before Maggie can mention the “forge” comment.
Xander tells Sarah he had a curious run-in, too! He overheard a secret they’re keeping from Alex and he knows exactly what it is. And Sarah does, too, right? Panic. So much panic on Sarah’s face.
Shane Tells Theresa About Kimberly
Shane gives Theresa a call to fill her in on his “devastating news.” And no, it’s not about John. It’s about her mom. Kimberly’s cancer is back and it’s progressing. He’s telling the kids before anyone else, but Theresa’s the first he could get a hold of. “Your mother’s beaten this before, she’s going to beat it again.” It’s bad, though. But she’s starting treatment right away, and leukemia treatment has advanced.
