On the morning of the court battle, Philip (John-Paul Lavoisier) asked Kate (Lauren Koslow) to testify on his behalf while Justin (Wally Kurth) asked Maggie (Suzanne Rogers) to testify on Xander’s behalf. Kate declined while Maggie decided she won’t choose sides. Sarah (Linsey Godfrey) offered her support to Xander (Paul Telfer) when he worried he could lose the case. Shawn (Brandon Beemer) went to the pub and told Roman (Josh Taylor) he rejoined the force. When Belle (Martha Madison) ran into Brady (Eric Martsolf), she asked him to testify against Xander and he refused. She later ran into Shawn and told him she’s taking on Philip’s case and asked if he’d be a witness. Later at the court, Shawn and Sarah both testified and Belle asked about Xander’s attempted murder on Brady. Kate overheard Roman get a call from Vivian (Louise Sorel) in prison, so she called her and ordered her not to say a word about Victor’s letter.

When Belle asked Sarah about Xander attempting to kill Philip, Justin objected and the judge finally went to recess to make her decision. When they returned to court, the judge ruled that Xander and Philip would be co-CEOs of Titan. Chanel (Raven Bowens) ran into Joy (AlexAnn Hopkins) and told her she knows about her hookup with Alex. Johnny (Carson Boatman) apologized to Alex (Robert Scott Wilson) for his spiral of lies as Stephanie (Abigail Klein) walked in and overheard that Alex was sleeping with Joy. Alex tried talking his way out of it with Stephanie, then when she left, he tore into Johnny over what happened while Stephanie ran into Joy and spoke to her about Alex as the show’s publicist. Later, when she visited Philip and found out the verdict, they shared a kiss.

Chad (Billy Flynn) arrived home from Vancouver and filled in Jack (Matthew Ashford) and Jennifer (Melissa Reeves) on everything that happened. Jennifer decided that the time capsule should be filled with memories of Abigail and they began filling it with things like her articles and her wedding ring. JJ (Casey Moss) brought Gabi (Cherie Jimenez) home and told her he plans on staying in Salem for a while. Later, he joined his family in burying the time capsule at Abigail’s grave. Aaron (Louis Tomeo) reunited with Cat (AnnaLynne McCord) in the square where they ran to Felicity (Kennedy Garcia), skeptical that Cat is really her sister. As EJ (Dan Feuerriegel) began badgering Mark (Jonah Robinson) to sign a plea deal, Belle burst in and fights for her new client, who winds up getting freed for now and reuniting with his family in the square.

Aaron visited Tate (Leo Howard) to let him know he was going to Vancouver with his siblings to see their mom. While Holly (Ashley Puzemis) went out Christmas shopping, Tate got a visit from Sophia (Madelyn Kientz), who shockingly revealed she’s pregnant. Julie introduced JJ to Doug III and when JJ found out about the stolen necklace, Julie told him all about her brother and Leo. The newfound information prompted Doug III to visit Leo and told him he needed help selling something and revealed the necklace. While Chad sat by Abigail’s grave, he was joined by Cat before she said goodbye.

When Doug III brought the necklace to Leo, he admitted he was the one who stole it in order to pay off a debt. Leo told him to leave the necklace with him and then promises himself he’ll do the right thing by Doug (the late Bill Hayes). Meanwhile, Jennifer shared her suspicions about Doug III with Julie but she’s convinced he’s innocent. When Brady arrived at Ava’s, he helped her out her necklace on and when he can’t find The Nutcracker tickets, they decide to just order in and stream The Nutcracker. Later, once Brady left, Ava received an anonymous text asking how her date was. After Sophia made her big reveal to Tate, they try coming up with a plan to make sure both Sophia’s parents and Holly don’t find out.
