A Conspiring Theresa and Konstantin Reveal Victor’s True Son, While Sloan Scrambles to Keep Her Secret

At home, Sloan tells Eric that, according to Melinda, the adoption is practically a done deal. They celebrate before he shares he talked with Nicole at the hospital. Sloan panics when Eric mentions Nicole picked up her baby’s DNA report. She pretends to she has to help a client in jail and leaves. In the hallway, Sloan anxiously details how, since she still has a copy of the report (in her tote apparently), she’ll just swipe envelopes at the mansion. She just hopes Nicole and EJ haven’t read the report yet.

While on the phone at the DiMera mansion, EJ starts to jot a note on an envelope. He writes two numbers before Nicole stops him, explaining it contains their baby’s genetic testing report. EJ notes the report also names him as the father, which makes him ecstatically happy. He plans to put the report in the safe, but first, he wants to read it again. However, a phone call pulls him away.

Xander comes to Alex’s place, ordering his cousin to resign as CEO of Titan and give Maggie her job back. When Alex pushes back, Xander points out Victor didn’t name him CEO in his will. If Xander were Victor’s son, he’d want to honor his wishes.

When Brady drops in on Maggie, she tells him Konstantin just cooked her a delicious meal, but is leaving tomorrow. Brady sits for baklava, noting Konstantin seems to have brightened her day. Despite having never heard of him, Maggie says there was a real bond between Victor and Konstantin. Victor even loaned Konstantin money for his first restaurant and refused repayment. Brady doesn’t think that sounds like Victor. Maggie thinks it just shows how important Konstantin was to him. Brady doesn’t think the Alex situation sounds like Victor either. He can’t believe Victor kept that from everyone.

Konstantin comes to Theresa’s Salem Inn room as she packs. He asks if she’s still trying to get her hooks into Victor’s long-lost son. Theresa informs him she’s moving in with Alex. A flashback reveals Konstantin coming to Alex’s hotel room in Greece as Theresa reads Victor’s will. He barges in to grab it. He grows irate, discovering Victor left him nothing.

After EJ ends his call at the mansion, he plans to read the report, as Nicole goes to check on Holly. Sloan lurks outside the French doors.

At Alex’s apartment, Xander states Victor didn’t want Alex running the company. Xander also doesn’t think it makes sense for Victor to rewrite his will, cutting everyone out but him. Alex says he might have the money and the job, but he also just found out the man he thought was his father isn’t. Xander scoffs. Alex’s always been loved and accepted in this family. Unlike him, who Victor treated like an outsider and an embarrassment. As far as Xander is concerned, Alex is one lucky bastard.

At the Salem Inn, Theresa points out she was interested in Alex before they read the will. That may be, Konstantin says, but after she got a peek at it, she was like a heat-seeking missile. In flashback, Konstantin rants over his father giving Victor seed money to start his business, which led to his fortune. Konstantin reveals he was the one who talked him into writing a new will, but still, Victor left him out of it. When Theresa asks how he knew the will was there, Konstantin explains he had a man watch the place. When the head of the ISA came by with a battered briefcase, he made an educated guess. Konstantin finds the letter naming Victor’s long-lost son. However, it names Xander as said son, not Alex.

In the present, Konstantin and Theresa express surprise over that reveal, but Konstantin does know Victor had an affair with Titus’ wife. In flashback, Theresa reels over Xander being Victor’s son. She calls him a piece of garbage. Konstantin is well aware. His father did business with him, and Xander robbed him blind. Now, that criminal gets to be a zillionaire while he gets nothing?! Of the two Alexanders in the Kiriakis family, Theresa wonders why it couldn’t have been the handsome, charming one. Oh, wait. Maybe it still could be, she says smirking. In the present, Konstantin says it’s a pity that Alex will never know what they did for him.

When Marlena visits Eric at home, she questions Sloan tending to a client so late at night. Eric knows she doesn’t like her, but she makes him happy. That’s all Marlena cares about, so she’s fine with her.

As EJ’s about to open the DNA report envelope, the doorbell rings. Sloan slips in through the French doors, as EJ answers the front door to no one. In the living room, Sloan holds up two identical envelopes. The written numbers on EJ and Nicole’s report face away from her. Before EJ returns, Sloan sets down an envelope with the numbers on it and flees.

At Alex’s place, he declares that if Xander thinks he would have traded Justin as his dad for Victor’s money, he doesn’t know a damn thing about him. At least Xander knows who his parents are. It’s highly unlikely he’ll ever be told that he was wrong and his life was a lie.

At the Salem Inn, Theresa admits she’s feeling guilty for making Alex fatherless. In flashback, Theresa tells Konstantin it wouldn’t be hard to substitute Anjelica Deveraux’s name at the bottom of the letter. She wouldn’t even have to tweak the will since Victor didn’t name his son. She can make this happen. Konstantin says, we can make this happen, promising to get her a forged letter that no one will question. She agrees to be partners. In the present, Theresa tells Konstantin she doesn’t know how long it’ll take for Alex to pop the question, so she can’t promise when he’ll get his payday. Konstantin will just have to stick around, then.

As Xander leaves Alex’s place, he opens the door to Theresa. He laughs upon learning Theresa is moving in. “Victor has a new rich son, and Theresa is already on the case.” After Xander leaves, Alex tells Theresa not to listen to Xander. He’s just jealous this didn’t happen to him.

Konstantin returns to Maggie with daffodils — her favorite. He tells her it’s time for him to leave, but Maggie invites him to stay as long as he likes. Having him there would be a pleasure.

At the DiMera mansion, Nicole finds EJ putting the DNA results in the safe. He has more work to tend to, so he’ll read the report later. Meanwhile, Sloan returns home. After some polite conversation, Marlena suggests she and Eric come over to dinner soon. Eric walks Marlena out, leaving Sloan to shred her copy of the DNA results.
