Melanie surprised people with her return and got a surprise in return. Daniel and Nicole were friends again. Jennifer comforted JJ. Ben and Clyde bonded. Jordan attacked Kate for tracking down Clyde. Sonny received a shock at the hospital. Everyone wanted Marlena to intervene with Will. Eric remembered his time in Africa.

Jennifer was concerned to see JJ so distressed over the his father’s rape of Kayla. He was really wracked with guilt over sleeping with Eve. He was on the verge of confessing, but Paige interrupted their conversation and reiterated how much she loved him. After she left, JJ decided to tell a half truth; he still had unresolved feelings about what his father did. Jennifer reminded him Jack was able to make amends, and everyone moved forward with their lives. JJ called Paige to say when he saw her next, he had something urgent to tell her.

Maggie was ecstatic to be reunited with her granddaughter, Melanie. She announced her move to Salem would be permanent. When Maggie left to tell the butler, Melanie’s upbeat attitude shifted as she checked her purse, loaded with stacks of cash.

After her reunion with Maggie, Melanie decided to surprise some of her family and friends. She first went to see her father, but instead found Nicole in his apartment, fresh from taking a shower. She wondered aloud what she was doing in her father’s apartment.

Earlier, Daniel and Nicole shared an unexpected close moment, fueled by the attraction they both felt and strongly resisted until now. They went back to his apartment and agreed maintain their friendship. Nicole spilled her drink all over herself, so Daniel offered his shower while he went out to run an errand. Daniel went to Eric’s new place and told him there was something he needed to know about Nicole.

Sonny was furious to discover Chad took over as Co-CEO of DiMera Enterprises without informing him. He wondered if Chad’s secrecy had to do with Sonny being a Kiriakis, which he of course denied. He assured his business partner he had his back with the club expansion to the south side of town.

Kate confided in Clyde about Chad’s new position at the company. He later ran into the young DiMera to congratulate him on his accomplishment. Chad knew how Jordan felt about her step-father, so he wasn’t so warm and friendly, especially when there was mention of a double-date in the future. At the club, Kate warned Sonny about being partners with a DiMera.

Eric received surprise visits from Roman, Marlena, and Caroline at his new apartment.

Melanie confronted Nicole about her “friendship” with her father. Nicole immediately went on the offensive, especially when she put the screws to Melanie about her “surprise” return. She wanted to know why she didn’t tell anyone about coming back to Salem. Melanie deflected just when Daniel entered and had an emotional reunion with his daughter. After Nicole left, Daniel asked the same questions she did.

Later while Chad was on a business call, Melanie surprised him in the DiMera study.

Earlier, Daniel told Eric he and Nicole had become friends again. Eric couldn’t help but ask if their relationship was platonic, and Daniel honestly admitted that even though he felt an attraction to her, he had no plans to act on it.

Nicole ran into Maggie outside the Pub, and she was already aware of her son’s friendship with her. Maggie gave her blessing, but also warned her to never hurt her son again, or she wouldn’t have to just deal with Melanie. Daniel later reassured Nicole that Melanie would accept their reconciliation.

Eric told Jennifer about Daniel and Nicole, and she assured him she was fine with it. The conversation turned to Eric’s time in Africa with the different photographs in his apartment.

Paul flirted with Jordan during his physical therapy session just as Chad walked in to witness. Once the air was cleared, Chad and Jordan shared a close romantic moment, which was interrupted by Ben. Ben and Chad traded barbs before Chad had to leave. Ben made an innocent comment to Jordan about his exchange with Clyde, which bothered her.

Earlier, Clyde and Ben bonded over their mutual disdain for Chad. Clyde ran into Kate, who was still stewing over Will and Sonny’s marital discord and Marlena’s reluctance to get involved. Jordan noticed the two of them together and figured out what was going on. She went to confront Kate about bringing Clyde to Salem.

Paul rebuffed Marlena’s offer for psychiatry after his surgery once again.

Melanie informed Chad that just because she was staying in Salem, it didn’t mean she was going to pursue him again. Chad kind of insulted Melanie, especially when she tried to shame him for what he did to Abigail in the past. He wouldn’t have it, and once again retold the tale of Abigail sleeping with an engaged man. He went to take another business call, so Melanie left.

She then met up with T, who told her she could find Abigail at Ben’s apartment. Melanie headed over and got a surprise of her own when she got a peek at a naked Ben.

Earlier, Ben and Abigail made love again, and Ben wished his mother had gotten to know Abigail.

Jordan ripped into Kate for bringing Clyde to Salem, and Kate finally admitted it was true. She only did it to prove Jordan was a fraud. Jordan called her out on doing all of this because she was jealous Rafe moved on with her. She left to find Chad and warn him about his business partner at DiMera Enterprises. Chad promised he wouldn’t let anyone hurt Jordan, but he needed to know if she still loved Rafe.

Rafe tried to talk to Sonny about Will not being in contact with anyone, since his move to Califonria. Gabi hadn’t heard from him and felt like she was being shut out of Arianna’s life. Sonny admitted he hadn’t heard from Will, either. Rafe went to see Marlena to get her to intervene, while Sonny delivered TBD coffee at the hospital. It was there that he got a surprise; his ex-lover, Paul finding him and passionately kissing him in the community room.

Clyde had his therapy session with Marlena and spoke of his regrets about the past. He was also the product of an abusive father. Kate met up with Clyde and accused him of telling Jordan about her visit to Poplar Bluff. Clyde realized he let it slip and apologized. His comments on Kate barging into his hotel room led to a steamy make out session on his bed.

Earlier, Theresa tried to get closer to Paul by bringing him an Asian-themed gift basket. She was later thrown out of his room by Maxine.
