Here's the episode summary for Monday, November 18. The episode accidentally aired in Australia yesterday. I was sent a copy and typed up this episode summary:
 
TEASER ACT
At Marlena's Townhouse, "Hope" sips a glass of wine out of John's hands, as Marlena walks in and asks them "Am I interrupting something here?" John is ecstatic and hugs Marlena, saying he didn't expect to see her until Christmas.
In the prison visiting room, Will sadly looks at Sonny's photo. Kate arrives and they hug.
 
At Horton Town Square, Sonny runs into Evan. They each say "Hey." Evan says he thought Sonny said he was meeting Justin tonight. Sonny says he did earlier, but Justin had dinner plans...with his new girlfriend.
 
At Kayla's condo, a man's hand is seen on her shoulder, and it is revealed to be Justin. Justin: "You're too good to me." Kayla: "You make it easy."  They kiss. Justin: "I am one lucky guy." Kayla: "I think I'm the lucky one."
 
In a Computer Limbo set, the monitor shows a text from Chad DiMera: "Father, I can no longer communicate with you until you agree to meet with me in person. Your move, Stefano"  The Stefano music cue plays as a hand with Stefano's ring is seen getting ready to type.
 
At the DiMera Study, Chad is looking at his computer screen. Abigail enters and asks if he's heard from Stefano yet. Chad says "No, and I doubt I'm going to." Abigail asks why. Chad: "Because he doesn't respond well to demands, which is why I'm going to tell him the ultimatum wasn't a great idea." Just then, there's a ding on the computer as a new text arrives. Abigail says: "You were saying?" [Theme Song]
 
ACT ONE
DiMera Study: Abigail asks if Stefano agreed to a meeting. Chad says "Not exactly." He reads the text: "Dear Abigail, how lovely to hear from you. But why are you poking your nose into your husband's affairs?" Abigail wonders how Stefano knew it was her. Chad: "It's Stefano DiMera, do you have to ask?" Abigail takes the computer. Chad asks what's she doing. She says she's writing her reply.
 
At Marlena's, a flustered "Hope" (with a wet top) asks Marlena to let her explain. "Hope" says she's had more than a few glasses of wine and that she was a little unsteady and dropped water all over herself. Marlena: "Well it happens to the best of us, doesn't it?" An ecstatic John asks Marlena what is going on, why is she home so early? Hope says: "Weren't you in the middle of your residency?" Marlena: "Yes, I was, but it turns out I'm able to do the rest of my work right here in Salem. There's a new director at the Institute and she was just fine with it." John says "Fantastic! I finally got my wife here!" Marlena: "Yes, you do!" I think it's time to celebrate. He kisses Marlena as a saddened, dejected "Hope" watches.
 
ACT TWO? (No real break between scenes...I've learned Australia only has 5 ad breaks, not 6 ad breaks like in the US, so this looks to be the most obvious break point)

At Kayla's, as Justin pours them wine: "So, Julie's heart just sped up for no reason?" Kayla: "Yeah, and then it went back to normal a few minutes later. It's crazy." Justin: "So maybe her pacemaker needs a tune-up?" Kayla says Julie will see her cardiologist tomorrow to get it checked out. Justin: "That's a good idea. Better safe than sorry." Justin says he sees Kayla got his favorite food from JULIE'S PLACE (not Doug's Place). Kayla: "And, Doug threw in a big piece of chocolate cake." Justin: "That man takes such good care of me." Kayla: "Well, he and Julie were both so worried about you. We all were. I mean, what happened to Adrienne was just devastating...for all of us."
 
At the prison, Will says he hopes Kate is there to tell him she's about to take her trip to Europe. Kate laughs and says "Are you kidding? No, and leave you here?" Will: "After you survived getting shot by Vivian, you said you were going to take some time off, see the world, see your kids." Kate: "Well I saw your Dad and Sami when they came in for the trial, and for Adrienne's funeral." Will: "That's not really the same thing. My point is, Grandma, I don't want you to put your life on hold because of me, and trust me, I'm not going anywhere." Kate: "I know, that's the point, you're stuck here. All alone." Will: "I'm not alone. I get to see my daughter." Kate: "Yes, and Sonny." Will: "Well, no, Sonny doesn't really come to visit anymore."
 
Chad asks Abigail to give him the computer back. Abigail: "I will when I'm done." She types: "Yes, Stefano, this is Abigail. My husband and I are a team and we make decisions together. Sorry you live in the past and you don't have courage to face your son." Chad begs Abigail to not send that message. Abigail asks what he's going to do about it. Chad: "I'm warning you...do not send that message." Abigail: "You're warning me?" as Jack walks in and asks what they are fighting about. Abigail: "Dad."
 
ACT THREE

Abigail puts the computer down, covers and lies, saying they were just checking some social media. Chad: "We need to get another computer." Jack: "I guess so." Jack says the nanny has Thomas and Charlotte upstairs, getting them ready for bed. Chad says he'll go tuck them in and leaves. Jack tells Abigail that Jennifer is doing great, she loves being with the kids. They called her Sleeping Beauty, so she ordered the book and read it to them and they climbed into bed with her. He shows a photo of that to Abigail on his phone. Abigail says Jennifer looks kind of tired in the photo. Jack: "Yes, after everything, she started to fade, but I mean, let's face it, it's been quite a day." Abigail says it's good that she's resting. Jack: "Every time she starts to go to sleep I think about the time she closed her eyes and a whole year went by." Abigail: "A lot's happened since she's been asleep." Jack: "A lot has happened...and there's still so much that she doesn't know."
 
John says he'll take Marlena's bags to "our room." John exits. "Hope": "So good to have you back." Marlena: "Thank you. Now that I'm home, I'm wondering how long you're planning to stay here."
 
At the HTS bench, Sonny says the food is really good. Evan says wait until you try Julie's quinoa bowl. Sonny: Did that even exist when we were kids? Evan: I just learned how to pronounce it a few weeks ago. Evan says when he's not working, he tries to eat healthy, keep the energy up. It's not easy chasing a toddler around all day. Sonny: "David's like a caffeineated chipmunk...You're great with him. Rafe talks all the time how lucky he is to have you." Evan says he didn't plan on becoming a nanny, but it's turned out to be a really good gig. He's done it ever since he moved to Salem from the West Coast. Sonny asks what brought Evan to Salem. Evan says he was in a relationship that fell apart. He decided to make a change, slow things down a bit. I wanted a place that was simple, quiet, without a lot of drama. Sonny: "Wow, you really need to do your research!"  Evan asks how he's doing. Sonny: "You mean the fact that my husband killed my mother."
 
Kate asks why Sonny is not visiting him. Will: It wasn't his choice. NEWLY CREATED FLASHBACK: Prison Visiting Room...TWO MONTHS AGO: Sonny sits down at the table. He brings Will artwork from Arianna. Will says to tell Arianna he loves it. Will says he didn't have to come here. Sonny says he promised to get the artwork to him. Will says from now on he should mail it or give it to Gabi, he doesn't want Sonny to visit him anymore, because it's killing Sonny to see him, because he's avoiding eye contact. Will says he doesn't blame him. Will: "Look at me and tell me part of you doesn't hate me for what I did." Out of flashback, Kate: "You sent him away." Will: "I had to." Kate: "Will, it was an accident. You didn't mean to kill Adrienne." Will: "That doesn't matter. Adrienne is dead and I'm the reason why."
 
Justin tells Kayla that Sonny is not great, it's not getting any easier for him. I may have lost Adrienne, but in one horrible moment, he lost his mom and his husband. This week has been especially hard." Kayla: "Yesterday would have been you and Adrienne's one-year anniversary." Kayla tells Justin he never has to hide how much he misses Adrienne. Kayla says she was more than just her sister-in-law, she was one of her best friends. When I had to tell you that she had died, it was one of the hardest things I ever had to do. NEWLY CREATED FLASHBACK: Nurses' Station...SIX MONTHS AGO...Justin: "Tell me she's going to be okay. Adrienne survived cancer. Adrienne's going to survive this accident." Kayla: "Justin, I'm so sorry." Justin: "Kayla, NO, NO, DON'T YOU DARE SAY IT." Kayla: "I'm sorry, listen, we did everything we could, but Adrienne's internal injuries were too severe and she's gone." Justin screams as he breaks down crying.
 
ACT FOUR
Justin: "I don't think I could have gotten through that day, or all the days that followed, without you." Kayla: "I think that Adrienne wanted me there with you, she was so wonderful to me when Steve didn't come back, it was just right for me to be there for you." Justin: "I'll never be able to repay you for all the kindess, strength and support." Kayla: "It's a two-way street, You were there for me." Justin: "I hope so...I was always making an excuse to hang out with you." Kayla: "All those Friday night dinners at the pub...showing up at my door for a Sunday hike." Justin: "It's like we were dating without even knowing it." Kayla: "It snuck up on us." Justin: "I think it was pretty obvious. Who offers to help someone move?" They laugh. Kayla: "That's the day everything changed for us." NEWLY CREATED FLASHBACK...Kayla's...THREE MONTHS AGO: Justin is helping Kayla finish unpacking. Kayla: "I really thought moving to a condo, and selling my house, I would be maintenance-free," Justin: "There's no such thing." There's a knock at the door. Kayla thinks it's her super, but it ends up being her final divorce papers. Kayla: "I haven't really spoken to Steve in over a year, and he just signs his name, just like that. I guess it's over." Justin hugs her. Kayla: "How could it be?" They kiss. OUT OF FLASHBACK. Justin: "We both lost so much and I honestly didn't think that I would ever be happy again, and I am, and that's all because of you." Kayla: "I'm glad you said that, because I feel the same way." They kiss.
 
"Hope" says she doesn't know how much longer she'll need to stay. The renovations are taking a lot longer than expected. Marlena says John doesn't need a roommate. Hope asks if she's being thrown out. Marlena says she and John would like to reconnect...alone. "Hope": "Of course, absolutely, understandable."
 
Abigail tells Jack there'll be a lot of news for Jennifer to process in the next few days. Jack says it's not all bad, that Jennifer woke up to find Abigail and Chad had moved back to Salem. Abigail says they are so happy they did.  Jack says between holding vigil for Jennifer and losing Adrienne, he wasn't holding it together too well. He thanks Abigail for getting him to take charge of the Spectator. Abigail says Adrienne would be thrilled to see Jack carrying the torch.
