Lexie's (Nikki Crawford) secret is eating away at her next week, so she finally decides to confide in someone. Lexie tells her old friend Marlena (Deidre Hall) that she is dying again, but she has no idea what is going on at home. While Lexie makes one confession, Abe (James Reynolds) makes another one. He tells Theo (Tyler Joseph Andrews) that he conspired with EJ (Daniel Feuerriegel) to get Theo to step down from the DiMera CEO position.

As for EJ, he has more trouble with a guilty Johnny (Carson Boatman), but at least he has another little dalliance with Cat (AnnaLynne McCord) to keep his mind off things. Cat even begins to see EJ in a new light, which will please EJ.

Alex (Robert Scott Wilson) is furious when he learns that Stephanie (Abigail Klein) didn't tell him about a call from Joy (AlexAnn Hopkins) telling him that he and Kelsey were in a car accident. Stephanie feels maximum guilt, but Joy has certainly been crying wolf. By the end of the week, the couple works through a disagreement about Joy.
