After learning that Philip (John-Paul Lavoisier) and Vivian (Louise Sorel) forged the letter from Victor (the late John Aniston) that helped hand half of Titan to Philip, Xander (Paul Telfer) is more outraged than he has ever been in his life. Philip is also beside himself when Vivian informs him that she spilled all to his brother.

Philip knows he is in for it, but braces himself for impact when he returns home. Xander lets loose like never before, and Sarah (Linsey Godfrey) fears that Xander might kill his brother. This is her worst nightmare come true, or at least almost her worst nightmare since Xander doesn't yet know that she kept this massive secret for months.

Can Philip talk his way out of this, or will Xander turn violent? Perhaps Sarah will finally confess her part in this mess to take the heat off Philip. She will do anything to save her husband from self-destructing, even if it means she will lose her marriage. Can Xander forgive Sarah? He still has to learn that Alex (Robert Scott Wilson) and Stephanie (Abigail Klein) have also been keeping this secret.

More truths from Vivian?

Vivian is chock-full of information. When she runs into Gabi (Cherie Jimenez) at Small Bar, her former daughter-in-law chews her out for a host of past transgressions. However, Vivian knows something that Gabi does not — Stefan's (Brandon Barash) location.

Gabi still has no idea that Vivian and Ivan (Ivan G'Vera) kidnapped Stefan last fall, just as he was set to meet with Gabi to call off their divorce. When Stefan didn't show, Gabi signed the papers and ended her marriage. Will Vivian tell Gabi the truth about her husband or leave her with a cryptic hint, as Vivian often does?

Since Gabi just broke things off with JJ again, it might be time for her to learn her husband's whereabouts and that he didn't just leave her in the lurch. It could be a whole new story for Gabi. Will we finally see a Gabi and Stefan reunion?
