Here is the recap for today!

Rafe asks Justin how the meeting with Victor was while at the club, and he explains his new position. He tells him this meeting is personal. He tells Rafe he was supposed to leave Clyde alone but instead he got Hope involved. He tells Justin he didn't get her involved and tried to stop her. Justin says that Rafe should take concerns to Victor and not the police. Justin asks him if he has anything solid and tells him to drop this until Victor tells him otherwise. Rafe agrees to drop it for now and walks away.

Aiden calls Clyde and tells him he has his documents ready, and he needs to talk to him. Clyde tells him he is on the way and hangs up. Kate walks up behind him and shows him the article in Sonix. Aiden tells his secretary to keep his personal information personal in the future and not tell clients where he is going. Hope enters and tells him she doesn't want Clyde to cause anymore problems. He tells her he is dropping him as a client. Meanwhile Kate and Clyde talk about the article on him. She gets a message that she is needed to meet with Justin. Hope tells Aiden that her hunches aren't always right, and Clyde isn't under an official investigation. She doesn't want their relationship to interfere with his clients. He wants to know if she wants him to drop Clyde. Hope tells him she wishes she wouldn't have ever gotten involved. They hug and she has to leave. Stan calls Clyde and tells him that Hope just left Aiden's office. Clyde asks to be kept posted and hangs up.

Daniel is in the mansion waiting on Nicole and tells Maggie that Victor had a meeting. He wonders why it seemed like Nicole wanted to see Victor. Maggie wonders why she would want to see Victor. Daniel talks about how they have turned a corner and wonders if he should call her. Maggie seems to get lightheaded. She tells Daniel that she hasn't eaten anything all day. Daniel tells her she is going to the hospital and will call and tell Nicole not to come.

Eric and Serena argue about Xander. He tells her he is going to find Xander, and Serena tells him to leave it alone. He asks her where he is. He says he needs to know what they did. She says she will tell him, but he has to promise her that it will stay between them. Eric tells her to start talking, and she begins to tell him what happened. She brings up how he left to be a priest, and Xander was right there. She tells him it was all so exciting.

Xander shows up as Nicole is leaving the office. She tells him it has been a long day, and he tells her he couldn't wait any longer. Nicole tells him she has somewhere else to be. He asks if there is another guy. She asks who that could be and denies it. He tells her he was joking, and she tells him she is meeting colleagues for a drink. She tells him she has to get going. She asks him how he got in if the front door was locked because of the power outage and the guard went home sick. He says the guard was there. Nicole gets a phone call and it's Daniel. They both look at the phone and smile at each other.

Kate is meeting with Justin and he tells her he has some ideas about the new men's line. She doesn't want his help, but he insists that she hire Paul to help the line. She says he is insane. Justin tells Kate that Paul has a great following and would help the brand. Kate tells him this is just about Lucas and Adrienne. Justin says Will doesn't need his help. Kate disagrees. Justin tells him that this shouldn't be a problem if they have a strong marriage. Kate tells him that he has to hire him if he wants him so bad. Justin asks her if she is quitting. Kate grabs her things and leaves.

Clyde is meeting with Aiden and asks what he wanted to discuss. Aiden tells him he should consider establishing a trust. Clyde thanks him for his help and gets up to leave. He talks to him about Chase before he goes.

Rafe and Hope are meeting at the pub, and she wants to know why he called her. He tells her that he shouldn't have given her the information about Clyde, and he needs to drop it now. Hope tells him that Victor isn't going to find out and that she is dropping it. Hope says that Clyde is an expert at covering his tracks, and she got the same message from Victor. She says she doesn't want someone to get hurt. She tells Rafe that she convinced Aiden to not worry about Clyde and keep him as a client. They agree to do nothing.

Daniel takes Maggie to the hospital, and she tells him they are waiting on the doctor before she calls anyone. Maggie takes some medicine to increase her blood sugar and they decide to go look at Tate before they leave.They talk about Theresa and the baby. She wonders if Eric could mediate, and Daniel tells her that Eric has his own issues right now.

Serena tells Eric she was broke, bored, young, and stupid so that's why she did what she did. Xander told her they weren't hurting anyone. Eric says she couldn't wait until he had left Africa to move on. Serena says it was hard for her to tell him goodbye, and she only wanted him to be happy. She tells him she found out who he really was and how violent he could be. She tells him that Xander had someone jumped and beaten whom he had gotten into an altercation with. She tells him she had to wait on instructions from Xander after she left the Congo. She found out more bad things about him, and then years later she got the message to deliver the diamonds. She found out he had them and that is why she had to get the statue back. She tells him that she loves him now. He leaves her room, and she screams at him to let this go.

Nicole answers the phone and tells Daniel another time is fine. She hangs up, and Xander asks her who it was. She tells him that was her coworker cancelling, and she is exhausted anyway. Xander says it seems like she isn't interested in him, but that it has always been about something else. He grabs her arm. Nicole breaks free and asks him what is wrong with him. She calls for Herb, and Xander tells her he isn't there. He tells her that she has been lying to him from the beginning, and she saw that Daniel was the one calling her. He says leading him on was a huge mistake. She says she didn't want him to know it was Daniel because he has been so jealous, but he tells her that he saw them kissing. He says he will deal with her now and then deal with Daniel. She grabs a stapler! He chokes her and knocks it out of her hands. He tells her that she won't live long enough to wonder why he is doing this!

I'm so ready for this story with Xander and Nicole to end already. Basically nothing happened today with that. Also Daniel and Maggie is always extremely boring. The whole Rafe and Hope giving up on Clyde is also boring as well. Today was such a snooze fest, but it looks like it may be a good setup for tomorrow!
