Thanks to a sneaky business merger and a major betrayal by Wei Shin, the company has been taken right out from under her. Gabi tries to fight back, threatening to walk away from everything, but Philip and Xander barely blink. As far as they\u2019re concerned, she\u2019s just a figurehead now\u2014useful only as long as she plays along. The message is loud and clear: obey, or get out of the way.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"827\" data-end=\"1227\">Meanwhile at Titan, <strong data-start=\"847\" data-end=\"883\">Sarah walks in on Alex grumbling<\/strong> about Philip\u2019s sudden rise to power. Furious, Alex blames Sarah\u2019s \u201clies\u201d for the fact that Philip now controls not just one, but <strong data-start=\"1013\" data-end=\"1036\">two major companies<\/strong> he has \u201cno right\u201d to. Sarah tries to keep him focused on the bigger picture\u2014at least for now, Philip and Xander are playing nice. But it\u2019s clear Alex isn\u2019t ready to let this go anytime soon.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1229\" data-end=\"1802\">Elsewhere, <strong data-start=\"1240\" data-end=\"1289\">Johnny DiMera is struggling with his emotions<\/strong>. At Abe and Paulina\u2019s, he reads the latest issue of <em data-start=\"1342\" data-end=\"1357\">The Spectator<\/em> and flashes back to the moment he took Roman\u2019s gun. When Chad drops by, Johnny admits he\u2019s been avoiding EJ\u2014and he\u2019s not even sure if he wants to see him. He\u2019s still hurt and angry over EJ\u2019s history with Sami. On top of that, the adoption he and Chanel were hoping for fell through. Chad urges him not to let pride get in the way, reminding him that this might be his last chance to say goodbye to EJ. Johnny listens, torn but clearly affected.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1804\" data-end=\"2297\">Back at the hospital, things are <strong data-start=\"1837\" data-end=\"1876\">boiling over between Sami and Belle<\/strong>. Sami walks in on Belle declaring her love to EJ\u2014who\u2019s lying in a coma. Understandably furious, Sami lashes out, accusing Belle of playing replacement. Belle bites back, saying she\u2019s not the one who came chasing\u2014<strong data-start=\"2089\" data-end=\"2099\">EJ did<\/strong>. Sami tries to stay calm but can\u2019t hold back. \u201cI <em data-start=\"2149\" data-end=\"2153\">am<\/em> being civil,\u201d she snaps. \u201cBut you can\u2019t expect me not to react when I walk in and hear my sister confessing her love to the father of my kids.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2299\" data-end=\"2654\">Upstairs, <strong data-start=\"2309\" data-end=\"2341\">Kate gets a shock of her own<\/strong>. Rex shows up unexpectedly with new information\u2014EJ may not have had anything to do with the recent attack after all. But before they can dig deeper into the truth, Kate\u2019s phone buzzes with a text that catches her off guard: it\u2019s <strong data-start=\"2571\" data-end=\"2581\">Philip<\/strong>, and he\u2019s sending congratulations.
