Ciara walks in on a very compromising moment between Tripp and Claire, but before they can explain, she takes off on her motorcycle in a state of high upset.
Will takes a big risk to restore his memory, which worries Paul. If Will gets his full memory back, will he remember his love for Sonny? What will it do to him and Paul?
Stefan is running DiMera, leaving Chad without a power base to combat Stefan. Because of the sexual harassment suit going on, Sonny isn’t in a position to run the company right now. The possibility of running Titan arises for Chad, which he sees as a perfect way to go head to head with his brother.
When the opportunity arises for Chad to take control of Titan, it turns Kate’s plan on it’s ear because she will no longer have a vested interest in trying to drag down the company, in an attempt to take over. The wild card in all of this is Leo, who saw a huge payday coming his way, and has an alternate plan of his own.
