Brady read a text message from Mr. Sung at the Kiriakis mansion. He didn't remember texting Mr. Sung, speculating he was drunk or high at the time. Maggie entered, asking about his Narcotics Anonymous meetings. Brady told her they didn't feel right to him. Theresa came over, but Maggie sent her away. She eavesdropped on their conversation as Brady concluded John was a bad influence on him. His sponsor noted he looked hungover and tried to connect with him over her past experience with addiction. She commented that his behavior would catch up with him. Theresa came to the aid of her boyfriend as Maggie pointed out she was eavesdropping. Brady got rid of her by saying he had a meeting, and Theresa left too. He got in touch with his dad by inviting him over to the mansion. He wanted a fresh start for the both of them by working on a business proposal together.

Kate was chatting on the phone to an unknown person at the Horton Square. She understood they wouldn't be returning to Salem because of a pending arrest warrant. Clyde Weston entered as Kate welcomed him to Salem. He hoped his kids would be happy to see him. He just wanted to make things right between the three of them. Kate gave him Jordan's address as he made her promise not to tell anyone he was in town. He wanted his kids to see him for themselves first. She agreed and made him promise not to say anything about bringing him to town.

Jordan was in bed with Rafe at her house when she flashed to telling him she would reveal everything about her past to him. He woke up, and the couple made love. Rafe got a call for work, and Jordan told him their conversation could wait.

Nicole ended a phone call about a news story with her boss at the Brady Pub. She informed Eric there wasn't a reporter for EJ's story, and she wanted to be the one to cover it. She proceeded to ask him for details, but he declined to tell her anything. He stated he doesn't trust her and went to his room in the pub.

EJ paced in his cell at the Salem Police Department while Sami commented on him being a flight risk. He agreed and told his new wife she would have to vote his shares at the board meeting. Both agreed it was Kate behind this fiasco as she was jealous of their relationship. A notary arrived for Sami to sign some documents , giving her control of the shares. EJ promised they would be honeymooning soon and she left. Later, Nicole arrived with a snide remark of karma being a b****. She ensured that she was there to offer her support. He wanted to know why, and she claimed she needed a good story, while he'd get sympathy from her readers. He gave her an idea of who was behind his arrest.

Kate and Sami met at the park, so Kate could help Sami take off the necklace EJ gave her. They agreed their plan was working. Sami confidently stated she had EJ's shares and Kate had Stefano's. Kate was weary as she was forced to tell Sami she did not have the shares yet. Sami freaked out at the possibility of EJ having more control at the company, but Kate calmed her down. Her phone rang, and it was Stefano. He decided to have Kate be his proxy at the meeting which meant she would have control of his shares. Sami struggled to keep her emotions together as the two shared a high-five. Kate exchanged words of love with Stefano before hanging up. She turned it around on Sami as she commented on what she's getting out of helping her. She served her with a document that had their agreement in writing, forcing Sami to sign it. Kate did not trust Sami at all.

Maggie ran into Eric at the Horton Square as she talked about having Brady on her mind. She offered her apologies on what happened with Nicole, but Eric was just focusing on the future now. Theresa walked by and wondered if Maggie was trash-talking her to her cousin. As soon as Maggie left, Theresa went to say hello to Eric. She also offered her apologies about Nicole, but commented on how she tried to warn him about her.

Clyde hid in the bushes as Rafe and Jordan shared a kiss in the woods.

Clyde continued to watch Jordan and Rafe kiss in the woods. Caroline appeared and wanted details on EJ's arrest. Both wished they could get Sami away from the DiMera, but she was just following her heart. Caroline left, and Jordan stated they would discuss her past once he was done with work.

Eric felt people could change if they wanted to. He commented that Brady was a good influence on his cousin. Theresa asked if he believed Nicole was a good person. He said she was deep down. They directed the conversation back to Brady. Theresa reminded Eric of Nicole when she spoke of doing things for herself. He went into what happened between him and Nicole, saying that she tried to tell him about the evidence that could've cleared him, but he didn't give her a chance. He understood why she kept the information from him. He remained silent when Theresa asked if he could forgive his ex for lying to him.

John was upset to hear the only way his son would work with him is if he went back to Europe. He refused to go, saying he beat an addiction to pain medication with Brady's support, and he wanted to return the favor for his son. He tried to reach out and touch Brady, but he cried out. Henderson, the butler entered the room. Brady stormed out, leaving both men stunned.

EJ told Nicole to go to hell when she offered her help. He would rather wait for a reported from a credible source to take his statement. He believed he would be out of jail in no time. Nicole thought it was funny that Sami was voting on his behalf at the board meeting. EJ turned it around and made fun of her recent problems with Eric. He knew this was a plot to get back into his good graces, commenting on how she would always be alone. The two traded more remarks before Nicole left. EJ asked the guard if he could speak with someone quietly.

Kate noted she was risking more than Sami in their plot to take over the DiMeras, so she felt she should pay more for her help. Sami was too desperate to argue, but the two women traded jabs of hatred anyway. Kate pointed out that things would never get easier as she relayed her own experience of competing with younger women. Kate thought she could keep her husband satisfied longer, causing Sami to explode on her. She stated he slept with Abigail because she kicked him out of her bed when he lied to her about Kristen. Kate rolled her eyes at her explanation. She handed Sami a sealed letter that was to be read at the board meeting.

Ben and Abigail discussed EJ's arrect making newspaper headlines at Club TBD. Abigail felt sorry for EJ and Sami's kids. Clyde watched from the window for awhile before leaving. Ben voiced that he didn't like Abigail being involved with EJ. Abby found the double-meaning uncomfortable but commented that she enjoyed spending time with Ben. He returned to work, while Abby left to run an errand. Jordan arrived and told her brother she would be telling Rafe everything.

Mr. Shin snidely remarked why the DiMera men were not at the board meeting to vote for themselves. Kate reminded him the meeting would be recorded, so his intent will be heard by Stefano. Because of EJ's arrest, the board grew concerned that their pending deals would be killed. Kate stated that Stefano shared their concerns as she pulled out the letter stating he nominated Sami as CEO of DiMera Enterprises. The board commented on her being under-qualified for the job simply because she was a woman. She showed them by talking about how she was involved in all aspects of the business with EJ, not just Countess W. She kindly asked them to get past their contempt of women and the vote began.

Caroline asked her grandson if he heard anything from the bishop yet. He hasn't but showed his hope. She heard Nicole spoke to the bishop on his behalf and hinted that maybe the two of them could work things out. Eric thought it would be best if they kept their distance from each other for now. His grandmother stated he was happy with Nicole. As soon as Nicole entered the pub, Eric ran up to his room.

Theresa returned home to find Brady laying on her sofa. Her air conditioning wasn't working, so he used it as a good excuse to get out of their clothes. The two had sex, and he asked for some cocaine afterwards. He hinted at a surprise for her.

Clyde broke into Jordan's apartment and began to snoop around.

Abigail arrived at EJ's cell. He wanted her to lie for him if she's questioned, but she refused. Meanwhile, Rafe learned if Stefano set foot in Salem, he could arrest him, too. He wondered who could betray the DiMeras like this?

Jennifer knew Jack would not want their son stuck in the middle of the situation. She decided to compromise with Eve.

Daniel answered his door to Eve, who was in hysterics over discovering he and her sister, Theresa have a rocky past. She decided to fire Daniel because of the conflict of interest and hire a new surgeon for her throat surgery. Daniel seemed okay with it. Eve brought up Daniel already knowing her daughter, Paige. He offered to put Paige in contact with a friend of his in Palo Alto. Eve thanked him and decided to ask him out, since they are not doctor and patient anymore. He was still working through his last relationship, but agreed to a friendship. She left and Daniel shook his head.

Clyde found Jordan's ID stash in her apartment. He told her cat to be quiet.

Ben was happy to see his sister being so positive about their future in Salem. He commented he can't let things with Abigail get serious, unless he trusted her.

Abigail refused to lie for EJ, but reassured him their fling would remain a secret. She also assumed he was talking about hiring a hit-man to go after Nick. He continued to beg for her not to say anything. She agreed but pitied him because of what he could've become with his mindset and drive.

The voting commenced and Sami was named the CEO of DiMera Enterprises. "Don't forget you need my votes b****," Kate messaged her, reminding her to read "EJ's letter," naming her co-CEO of DiMera Enterprises. Kate acted surprised at the news. Sami didn't like where things were going, but they would have to accept them. The board voted them as co-CEOs for a period of no less than six months. Kate and Sami agreed to be business partners.

Daniel and Maxine discussed Eve at the hospital. She joked he needed to work on his people skills or he'll lose more of his patients. He thought about Eve's honesty and commented she might be a handful.

Eve arrived at the Horton house, happy that Jennifer had seen the light. Jennifer just wanted the lawsuit to disappear. They would split the profits 50/50, but Eve felt that would not be enough.

Sami arrived at EJ's cell to deliver the news that she and Kate were named co-CEOs of DiMera Enterprises. EJ thought it was a joke, but Sami showed him the meeting minutes. He flipped through the papers and asked questions. "I did to you exactly what you did to Abigail."

Abigail caught up with Ben at Club TBD. He apologized for what he said earlier about EJ when she obviously had nothing to do with him.

Sami confronted EJ about his affair with Abigail. She wondered if he went to Chad, but he told her it was the one time. She knew he lied because she brought up the shower sex he had with Abby in the company lockers. She knew something was up when he tried to dismiss her that day. She went downstairs to look at the security tapes and saw the two of them going at it in the stall. She hoped he told his father about the affair, too. EJ wanted them to get past this for the sake of their family, but Sami burst into laughter. She asked why she would want to get past it, but he told her to calm down. She shocked him by saying she knew for several weeks about the affair, so she wouldn't be calming down. She vowed to make everyday of his life since their wedding a living hell.
