She says she is but mentions she just threw up. Brady says there's a change of plans and sweeps her away to the doctor. EJ calls someone and demands to know that Mama Blake is safely in Aremid and will never set foot in Salem again. Just then, Chanel arrives ready to rip him limb from limb. She mentions his possible reconciliation with Johnny and EJ tries to shut her down. Chanel is having NONE of EJ's foolishness and says he hurt the love of her life, and no one gets away with that. When EJ asks if she is threatening him, Chanel confirms she is (Raven Bowens BROUGHT IT!). University Hospital – Lobby: Marlena thanks Sarah for her time and asks about Xander.

Sophia apologizes to everyone, but Tate says all is good. Sophia thinks they should still do something to celebrate and offers to treat everyone to dinner. Brady and Tate say they have other plans, and Mama Choi thinks Sophia should get home, which leaves her less than thrilled. Brady thanks Sarah for everything she did today. He offers an ear if she ever wants to vent about Xander. Chanel walks into The Bistro and runs into her mother and Abe. They ask her to grab a seat for some family time.

Days of Our Lives Recap: Xander and EJ Unknowingly Compete to Purchase University Hospital
On today's Days of Our Lives recap: DiMera Mansion – Living Room: EJ and Dr Russell chat about his difficulties with getting out of his contract with the hospital. EJ says all will be good as his going to Kayla covers both of their backsides. It also keeps Kayla from realizing they are working together. Dr Russell worries about the hospital and his research going under. EJ assures him the hospital will not be going under as he is going to bank roll it. Dr Russell inquires, and EJ blatantly says he is going to buy University Hospital. Once his drug is approved, the hospital will be fully profitable and they will both be seen as heroes. Horton Square: Stephanie runs into Philip. He says he's on the way to see Roman to get an update on Bo. Stephanie can't go as her parents are waiting on her at home. She also wants to avoid the inevitable celebration he and Kate will have since they realized all of their hopes and dreams. Philip explains Xander kicked him out of the house but not the company. Stephanie gets sarcastic when saying she's glad he can enjoy the spoils of his victory. Philip asks if she is going to spread the word. Stephanie admits she would LOVE to tell Chad everything about Philip's scheme and have it splashed across the front page but will resist the temptation. She says she isn't protecting Philip, only Sarah. Before she can exit, Philip says he is sorry. Stephanie doesn't understand and Philip explains he's sorry for lying, compromising her integrity and treating her like an afterthought for months. She asks why it was so important for him to do what he did. Philip says he wasn't trying to deny Xander his share of Titan but he says that wasn't his intention. He wanted to prove to his father that he was worthy of his consideration. Stephanie understands his motivations as they are very human. She says there are a lot of hurt feelings between them but she would like to think they will eventually be able to move forward. With that, they part ways. Kiriakis Mansion: Xander and Alex are discussing the pharmaceutical company owned by DiMera Enterprises. Alex says they are sitting on a goldmine. He has found the breakthrough drug they need to make all of the money. Alex found DiMera was looking for a cure for sepsis, which is specifically relevant for Xander's brother Bo. Xander tells Alex to direct the company to go full force towards creating the drug. Alex says there is one catch as someone might be beating them to the punch. Alex says research at University Hospital is competing with them to get the drug to market. Xander congratulates Alex on his work and sends him off to take the night for himself. Alex promises Xander will not regret giving him a second chance. Brady Pub: Shawn Douglas and Belle run into each other and chat a bit about Bo (and we get a Claire Bear mention!). Belle believes Bo won't give up without a fight and Shawn D says neither will he. Shawn D knows Belle can relate and they chat a bit about the search for John. University Hospital – Kayla's Office: Steve arrives and comforts Kayla about Bo's condition. She says if they are going to steal the drug to save his life it has to happen now. Steve says they should quiet this stealing talk down in public (smart man). Kayla says she knows she's going to be implicated if Steve and Shawn D are caught. Steve is concerned about the risks and Kayla agrees. That being said, it could save Bo's life. Kayla tells him to steal one dose so, perhaps, no will notice. Just then, Sarah arrives and Steve makes his exit. Sarah asks if there is anything she can take off her plate so Kayla can call it a night. She says if it would help to save the hospital money, she is willing to skip her conference in Chicago. Sarah gets to the real point and says she actually wants to skip the conference and spend it at a cabin with her husband and child. She isn't sure Kayla can find anyone who will be able to take her place… Kayla tells Sarah to spend the weekend with her family, and she will figure out someone who is more research focused to send. Sarah hugs her boss and makes her exit. Dr Russell returns and Kayla says she wanted to show him there were no hard feelings by throwing an opportunity his way. She gives him the opportunity to go to the Chicago research conference. Dr Russell says he isn't great with people skills and thinks he is the wrong person to represent the hospital. Kayla pushes just as EJ arrives on the scene and she sends Dr Russell on his way. Kayla inquires about EJ's intentions and he says he wants to be the hospital's savior. Kiriakis Mansion: Sarah returns and asks Xander what she is reading. He tells her a bit about the pharmaceuticals and asks what she knows about sepsis. She brings up Bo and asks for more details about the diagnosis. Sarah gives him some information and says the mortality rates are very high. Xander gets very specific and asks about any research going on at University Hospital. Sarah switches topics and says she got out of her conference and booked them a cabin on Lake Geneva for the weekend. He inquires as to why and Sarah says they need to get away. Xander pushes back but Sarah thinks surely Alex can watch Philip for a weekend. Sarah does a little sexual convincing which seems to push him over the edge. Xander is now relaxing with cucumbers on his eyes after Sarah returns from putting Victoria down. He still isn't convinced of a spa weekend and wonders why the getaway is so important to her. Sarah explains how difficult the last few months have been. She thinks they both need a break from everything. Xander agrees and says they are alone tonight allowing him to give her a taste of their weekend. Brady Pub: Steve meets up with Shawn Douglas and says Kayla is on board and thinks they need to move quickly. Shawn D is ready to go but Steve says they have to hold off until they figure out Dr Russell's schedule. Horton Square: Belle runs into Philip, and he updates her on remaining as co-CEO of Titan. Belle can't believe it but he explains legal thought it would be too big of a mess to let his fraud go public. He goes on to say he looped Justin in, who was very disappointed in him, as well as Maggie. Philip hates disappointing everyone and realizes he must be Victor's son. The person he feels most guilty about hurting is Xander because they actually were starting to feel like brothers. Stephanie's Place: Stephanie and Alex arrive home, and he surprises her with candles all over the bedroom (how did he make that happen?). He has set up a movie night for his beloved with popcorn and wine. They discuss what they will be watching and she suggests something a little sexier. Alex mentions he found her manuscript. Stephanie is embarrassed but Alex says her writing is amazing and he can't wait to finish it. She says it's a romance novel, but he notes how graphic it is. Stephanie begins to blush, but Alex thinks it's great she has written a steamy affair. He is excited to know more about her inner most fantasies and desires. With that, they decide to act out a few chapters. Days of Our Lives Recap: Gabi Admits to Taking Rafe's Gun The Night of EJ's Shooting Endings Belle thinks Philip is mourning the loss of Xander because he is also worried about losing Bo. Philip thinks her insights are poignant and takes the opportunity to ask that she not spread the word of his fraud. Belle says he is covered under attorney client privilege but also because they are friends. She tells him to keep his nose clean but to also watch his back because he has pissed off all kinds of folks. With that, she exits. Steve says they have to be careful so as not to endanger the future of a drug which could help millions, as Bo would think the same. Shawn Douglas agrees but also reiterates they have to hurry. Kayla wonders from whence EJ's generosity came. He talks a bit about the care he got that saved his life. EJ, perhaps, wants to give back to those who saved him. He asks Kayla if she will help him save the hospital by purchasing it. Kayla isn't convinced and says it's a hard pass. She knows he could solve all the hospital's problems, but experience tells her there are always strings attached. Kayla says the fundraiser gave the hospital enough wiggle room to avoid a ridiculous offer. EJ says he will go over her head but Kayla is certain her influence with the board will have more sway. EJ winces as he stands and says she will soon come crawling back. With that, he exits. Stephanie and Alex sleep in their afterglow as he hears his phone buzzing. He extracts himself from her embrace and answers Xander's call. Xander says he has a plan that will save University Hospital, Sarah's job and allow them to get their hands of the drug. They are going to buy University Hospital. Keep checking back for the latest Days of Our Lives recaps!
