As a bothered Ben finds himself facing death row, a desperate Ciara demands answers from Victor

A seething Ciara gets more than she expected when a shocking twist turns everything upside down as she lashes out at Victor

Kayla's on hand to update Victor's loved ones, but there's a catch to his condition, and things get riskier

Taking a big risk, Lani earns a new ally after J.J. learns from his former flame just how destructive Gabi has become

It's risky business for Kristen and Gabi, but things certainly don't turn out the way one of them would like, as a schemer's word can't be trusted

Eli may find trusting Gabi with his heart again was a mistake, but she works quickly to keep ugly truths away from her lover

Lani is put in the hot seat by Eli for smashing the GabiChic window, while Stefano learns who he can (and can't) trust

After receiving a visitor that rattles her world, Kristen's devotion to the family is put to the test by Stefano

Kristen also continues to be rattled by Nicole's proximity to Brady, and a cunning Nicole decides to play pretend

Brady ultimately consents to Nicole's con to let Kristen keep on thinking there's something between Nicole and Brady again

Kate continues to hate the growing something-something between Sonny and Evan and once again has words with Will about them

Evan's sneaky side begins to emerge when he helps himself to an eyeful of Rafe's personal paperwork

Though they're keeping a watchful eye on Gabi, Chad and Abigail find themselves sharing a little romantic time, too

A contorted Kayla still has a hard time believing her eyes that Steve is back in Salem, and she confronts her former fella

"Steve" remains cold to his one-time Sweetness, and she remains none the wiser that he's secretly Stefano

Stefano's claim that someone else has captured his heart doesn't sit well with Kayla, and she attempts to get the name of his new paramour

The Phoenix remains mum on his heart's desire, prompting an emotional Kayla to seek comfort from Marlena

There isn't much brotherly love when Jack confronts a peculiarly acting Patch about the heartbreak he's caused Kayla and his other loved ones

"Steve's" coldness and general disposition raises Jack's eyebrow as John makes Princess Gina jittery when he asks "Hope" about "Steve"

Ben's disposition takes a nosedive as he continues to stress over his death sentence, and a visitor doesn't make his day any better

Ben receives a jailhouse visit from Xander, and when Xander dishes out a warning, Ben fights back
