Jen eats humble pier after scolding Jack for absconding to another job after he explains being offered a journalism teaching post at Salem U, where Austin will teach forensic accountancy. Victor lets himself be commandeered for kitchen chores during turkey dinner preparations in Maggie's home, content to see Daniel appreciate his 'mother' trying his favorite from his adoptive parents' cookbook. After Marlena wines leaving him a day I police jail felt like an eternity, John is tried, found apparently without remorse and given 50 years without parole, a virtual life sentence. Stefano warns Hope, who bugs him about the phoenix on a gift found in Alice's home, while suggesting she may have used a secret Swiss account, not to insist on a hidden truth the Bradys will only regret.
