In Italy, Belle (Martha Madison) and Chad (Conner Floyd) follow clues and try to solve their chessboard mystery, while in Salem, Marlena (Deidre Hall) wonders if it could open up a whole Pandora's box nobody wants. But first, there is a poker game. Philip (John-Paul Lavoisier) and Gabi (Cherie Jimenez) take to the poker table against Sydney DiMera (Sydney Malakeh). By the end of the week, Sydney gives EJ (Daniel Feuerriegel) a big surprise when she returns to Salem after all these years.

Stateside, Brady (Eric Martsolf) and Steve (Stephen Nichols) work to uncover more of the Coriseal mystery, while all eyes seem to land on Johnny (Carson Boatman), especially Theo (Tyler Joseph Andrews). Brady might want to keep an eye on Sarah, and she and Xander reflect on the past.

Stephanie (Abigail Klein) also has a busy week when she pours out her heart to Kayla (Mary Beth Evans), but then offers Paulina (Jackee Harry) some advice. And finally, Holly (Ashley Puzemis) needs Tate's (Leo Howard) help as she tries to figure out what is going on with Mason (Brandon Butler).
