Xander\u2019s playing on the bed with Victoria when a delighted Sarah wanders in. Xander\u2019s back in their old apartment! And Sarah just let herself in, which her hubby doesn\u2019t mind. Victoria then plays on the floor and mommy and daddy chat about couples therapy.<\/p>\n

\"Xander<\/p>\n

Xander hates the idea. They\u2019re doing just fine. He can\u2019t look in her eyes, though, as he says the biggest impediment \u2014 her thinking he beat Philip \u2014 is gone.<\/p>\n

Will Sophia Stop the Adoption?<\/p>\n

Sophia\u2019s lurking in the square when Johnny wanders by. She demands to know where he\u2019s going with a crib. He tells her they\u2019re adopting and Sophia snidely notes that he seemed to have changed his mind quickly about being a father. After some half attempts to explain, he awkwardly leaves.<\/p>\n

\"In<\/p>\n

Sophia then whips out her laptop and writes a note to Child Services as Tesoro\u2019s mother to register her \u201cmost strenuous objections.\u201d She glares at Johnny the whole time as he\u2019s back in the square.<\/p>\n

Can Johnny Save Holly?<\/p>\n

Ari surprises Holly with some alcohol, taking a break from the party downstairs to check in on her roomie while she works on a paper. Ari pushes her to finish the paper and join her at the party to help get over dumping Tate. Time to meet some hot college guys!<\/p>\n

But just as Holly\u2019s finishing up, her paper gets wiped! That really doesn\u2019t happen that much anymore, what with cloud save, autosave, recovery and a whole bunch of nifty features, but sure. Oh, wait, the hard drive crashed. Also something that doesn\u2019t really happen much\u2026<\/p>\n

\"Sitting<\/p>\n

More: Jeremy Horton is back. But who is he<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Ari convinces Holly to text Johnny and explain, but instead of texting back, Johnny calls. She tells him about the paper and he says they\u2019ll figure something out. He then realizes that she\u2019s been drinking, even though she sounds kind of fine\u2026<\/p>\n

Johnny tells her to call it a night and sleep it off. Sophia listens to the whole convo, not even remotely pretending not to be standing right behind him. She then continues her note saying Johnny\u2019s engaging in an \u201cinappropriate relationship\u201d with a student. Full. Villain. Mode.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s Sophia Doing to Holly?<\/p>\n

Back in her dorm room, Holly agrees to call it, so Ari goes to get drinks alone and\u2026 Runs into Sophia?? How did she get from the square to the dorms in the time it took Holly to hang up??<\/p>\n

\"Sophia<\/p>\n

More: Salem\u2019s surprise roommates?<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sophia makes up an excuse about being there to study, then the second Ari\u2019s gone bursts right into Holly\u2019s room. \u201cHiya, Holly!\u201d It\u2019s downright sociopathic.<\/p>\n

Before Holly can yell much, she runs into the bathroom, feeling sick, so Sophia cheerfully pours alcohol into her cup. Ari comes back and Sophia plays all innocent, then Holly comes out of the bathroom, takes a sip of the drink, and feels worse. Ari decides it\u2019s shower time for the lightweight.<\/p>\n

What are EJ and Gwen Planning?<\/p>\n

EJ shows Gwen into a room under construction, where she questions the gala idea. \u201cYou worried somebody\u2019s going to stumble upon the true purpose of our free clinic?\u201d EJ laughs. And what is that purpose?! EJ doesn\u2019t explain anything other than to say it\u2019s a lab with a high security door, so they\u2019re safe.<\/p>\n

\"In<\/p>\n

More: Have we already gotten a surprise DiMera return<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Gwen gripes about the money he\u2019s spending, but he assures she\u2019ll make it all back and more. He then hands Gwen an envelope of cash to bribe the electrician to keep quiet about leeching electricity. He\u2019s got to run. Gwen bristles, but EJ cheerfully leaves.<\/p>\n

Chad Has News for Cat<\/p>\n

Cat\u2019s finishing up yoga (pilates?) in her apartment when Chad shows up to work on the gala, sees her in workout clothes and pounces. After some making out, they get down to business.<\/p>\n

\"At<\/p>\n

Chad\u2019s assigned Jennifer to write a piece on Dr. Tom Horton, which, understandably, makes Cat uncomfortable. In fact, she\u2019s back in Salem tomorrow to start interviewing people. They figure that Jack and Jen probably heard about Mark\u2019s release and weren\u2019t happy.<\/p>\n

Belle\u2019s Thrown Back With EJ<\/p>\n

Belle stops in at home with bad news about John\u2019s will. He wanted to leave money to the hospital, but the ownership change changes things. Belle doesn\u2019t trust EJ to be a \u201csteward of dad\u2019s final wishes.\u201d<\/p>\n

So she\u2019s going to insist that the family gets continued oversight into the money, even if she has to be stuck with EJ to do it. Marlena thinks that\u2019s a great idea. They plan mother\/daughter movie night, then Belle leaves.<\/p>\n

\"Text<\/a><\/p>\n

She tracks EJ down in the hospital and tells him she\u2019ll be watching him like a hawk with her father\u2019s bequeathment. EJ would expect nothing else.<\/p>\n

In the Show\u2019s Final Moments<\/p>\n

Chad and Cat\u2019s kissing session is cut short by the dark. The two find out that the whole city\u2019s gone dark. The lights flicker and go out on Gwen, trapping her in the room since she can\u2019t use the electric lock. EJ and Belle get stuck in the elevator together, where he calls for help with the emergency phone. But it goes to 911, and since it\u2019s not life-threatening, they have to prioritize. They\u2019re trapped.<\/p>\n

\"During<\/p>\n

As Xander\u2019s trying to defend his reasons to not go to therapy, the lights go out. He grabs some electric candles as Sarah realizes her car\u2019s in the garage and can\u2019t get out. So Xander asks her to stay over.<\/p>\n

Sophia helps put Holly to bed and Ari tells her she can stay until the power comes back. Holly\u2019s out cold. Ari goes to brush her teeth and Sophia grabs Holly\u2019s phone, arranges her seductively and takes a photo of her breasts and this is getting super uncomfortable. Holly was underage not that long ago.<\/p>\n

Marlena returns home just as things go dark and gets woozy, passing out on the couch.<\/p>\n
