So today's episode shows Serena panicking and also shows the true Xander coming out! Here's the recap:

Marlena shows up at Serena's hotel and asks Serena what is going on. Serena tells Marlena she has to book a flight and leave. She yells at Marlena to get out. Marlena tells her she is worried, and Serena frantically tells her to leave so she does.

Will and Sonny talk about the counseling session. Sonny says the counselor seemed to gloss over everything that went wrong and didn't try to work on the issues. Will tells him that the doctor has a great reputation. Sonny asks him if the session went the way Will wanted or did it really go great. Sonny tells him that they need to really work on their marriage and not think that one session is going to accomplish everything. Will tells him that he just wants to fix things.They hug, and Sonny leaves to go to the club.

Daniel calls and leaves Nicole a message to text him later. Maggie tells Daniel she wants to tell Victor herself about her visit before she leaves. Marlena comes over as Daniel asks her if she is OK. She tells him she went to Serena's to find out why she and Eric broke up, and she got nothing. Daniel asks her what Serena said, and Marlena said not much. Daniel tells Marlena he will go by her place to see what's going on.

Xander is still trying to choke Nicole. He gets the text from Daniel and says she will never see his face again. He tells her that no one plays her. She asks him if this is what happened in Scotland as well. She says she knows he is a murderer, and he gets out the choking device to choke her. Eric enters and hits Xander over the head with a vase! Nicole is gasping for breath, and tells Eric she was trying to get information on Serena. He tells her he already knows. She tells him Xander is having the building watched, and Xander gets up and tries to grab her. Eric punches him in the face.

Ben is at the club glaring at Chad as Zoe comes in. She tells him that their sales are low because of the cover story on Weston. Chad says if Will didn't find any secrets on him that he may be a saint. Zoe leaves after making another pass at Chad. Sonny comes over and wants to know why he shot her down.

Ben calls to look for Abigail and is told she is not in the office. He tries to trace her phone, and she is at home. Abigail is shown working at home and is having a hard time concentrating. She is wondering why she is so obsessed with Chad. She tries to convince herself that Ben is amazing and that she really loves him. She tries to focus back on work and sees that the computer wrote down everything that she said. Apparently she has a voice diary on her computer. Ben shows up at Abigail's and she wonders how he knew where she was. He said the hospital told him, and she says that's weird because she didn't tell them.


Serena is panicking hoping that Eric doesn't try to track Xander down. She wonders if he went to the police. She tries to call Eric. She calls a neighbor to try to get her to knock on his door but the neighbor hangs up. Serena says she will go herself and opens the door to find Daniel. She tells him she has to go after he tells her that Eric came to see her. Daniel wants to know what's going on. Serena says she needs to get to Eric before he gets hurt. Daniel asks her what she did, and she says it was all Nicole.

Eric and Xander continue to fight. Nicole bashes him over the head with a trash can, and she and Eric run out as Xander calls out really crazy threats.

Zoe goes to see Will and tells him that they shouldn't write the article on Dr. Myers. They should get someone hotter. He tells her that he can't be connected to the article, but asks her to show around some information he gets on Myers around the office to get someone else to bite. Apparently he promised him a write up in the magazine for counseling to go his way.He calls the doctor and tells him that Zoe is excited about doing the article. He tells him not to worry about Sonny and he wants to keep talking about the past. The doctor assures him that he and Will will be another one of his saved marriages.

Abigail asks Ben what type of tea he wants as he looks at a photo album. She runs in and notices her diary was up and hurriedly closes it. He asks her what it was, and she tells him. He asks if he should be worried, and she says no she was writing how she felt about him. He kisses her, and she pulls away. He asks her what's wrong, and she says her mom or brother could walk in. He says if they lived together they could do what the wanted. She tells him she has been thinking about moving in with him. She tells him she wants to make sure her family is OK first, and he says he understands. He leaves and promises to text her later. He tells her he loves her so much before he leaves. Abigail says he can never find out about Chad.

Chad tells Sonny that hooking up with Zoe would be inappropriate since she is an employee. He says he doesn't think of her like that. Sonny says not like with Abigail, right? Chad tries to deny it, but Sonny doesn't believe him. Chad tells him that nothing is going on and there never will be. He leaves.

Eric and Nicole are in the basement trying to get out and Eric realizes he left his phone. Navidad comes in to check on Xander, and looks at the security cameras. They see them in the basement and she tells him the door is locked from the outside. They leave to go get them with guns in hand! Nicole and Eric try to open the door and see that it's locked. Xander calls for them and Nicole panics. They find an empty store room and go in. Xander is right down the hall with a gun bared. They go hid in the back. Xander sees the door and inches closer!

I can't wait for tomorrow. I wonder how Nicole and Eric will get out of this one!
