Cat and Felicity reminisce over their brother Mark, with Cat defending his actions as misguided but well-intentioned. Their conversation shifts to Chad, and despite Cat’s insistence that he would never reciprocate her feelings, Felicity encourages her to take a chance—just as she did with Todd.
At Alice’s house, Chad checks in on Julie, who admits she’s struggling without Doug. Though therapy hasn’t provided a solution, Chad suggests it might still offer comfort. Julie agrees to another session and, after some reflection, softens her stance on Cat. While she’s not ready to forgive, she acknowledges Cat was forced into her actions and promises to be less critical. Before leaving for work, Chad reassures Julie that she’ll find her way forward.
Xander drops by the hospital to invite Sarah to dinner, but she’s swamped with cases—especially after the recent poisonings.
He updates her on his alliance with Philip against the DiMeras, emphasizing their intent to stay within legal boundaries. Sarah remains skeptical, particularly about Kristen’s potential retaliation. Meanwhile, Alex and Stephanie, reveling in their rekindled romance, realize Joy may have been poisoned as well. Finding her unconscious, they rush her to the hospital, where Sarah administers the antidote just in time.
In the hospital corridor, Xander asks Stephanie about her breakup with Philip, but their conversation is cut short when Sarah announces Joy’s recovery. Stephanie rushes to Joy’s side while Xander steps out for takeout, giving Sarah a moment to text Philip.
Philip, meanwhile, is mid-workout when Kate arrives, venting about the disaster her soap opera venture has become. She warns him that his newfound partnership with Xander might backfire—not from the DiMeras, but from Sarah. Just as Philip dismisses her concerns, he receives Sarah’s text requesting a meeting. When she arrives, she makes it clear that their takeover plans will continue on her terms, with any misconduct shutting it down immediately.
At the pub, Kate crosses paths with Xander and surprises him by revealing she supports their plan against DiMera Enterprises. Elsewhere, Cat and Felicity celebrate Cat’s new job with Marlena over ice cream when Chad stops by. Felicity tries to nudge them together, but Chad has to run—leaving her shrugging at the missed opportunity.
Back at the hospital, Alex and Stephanie agree to keep their relationship from Joy until she fully recovers. However, as they share a reassuring kiss, Joy steps out just in time to witness the moment.
