Steffy intercepted Brooke’s call to Ridge, upending her plans to surprise him with a romantic evening. Ridge got in his feelings about his past bad choices and apologized to his loved ones. This prompted Taylor to ask him to make a choice about the future. Meanwhile, Brooke accused Thomas of keeping Douglas from Hope to cause problems in her marriage to Ridge.

Week two on Peaco*ck picked up nicely, mostly thanks, Curtis says in the Days of Our Lives‘ column, to Abigail’s murder mystery hitting its endgame. There were just enough twists and turns in the killer reveal to make up for some of the show’s sillier plots — like Kristen’s absurd legal posturing at Rachel’s custody hearing!
What Went Down Last Week: Leo was arrested after Gwen turned him in, but Sonny remembered his attacker smelled like vanilla. This led Chad to accuse Craig before realizing that Clyde was the culprit. Instead of going to the cops, he grabbed a gun. Clyde proposed to Nancy and planned to get married the very next day.

The show pulled the ultimate fake-out with Brando, but Dustin admits in this week’s column that as much as his death stung, it’s helped shock some life into the show. And that’s more than he can say for Liz’s storyline mess or Victor’s stalled plotting!
What Went Down Last Week: Brando pulled through surgery and told Jordan while he didn’t see his attacker’s face, he heard something similar to jewelry on them jingling. Later Brando seized and died, puzzling Portia, who ran a tox screen and learned the hook used to attack him was poisoned. Diane stepped up to help Sasha with her guardianship issues in the wake of Brando’s death, and while looking through his legal papers at the garage, was approached by the hook killer. Liz had a breakthrough and remembered the face of the woman at the bottom of the stairs in her memory, but was stunned to later find out it was Finn’s dead wife Reiko. Liz did some digging and found a photo of herself and her sister Sarah in the Mariana Islands in the Pacific, where Finn and Reiko once worked for Doctors Without Borders. Victor absconded with Lucy aboard the Haunted Star and revealed to her something dangerous was going to strike Port Charles, and he needed her by his side to help save as many people as he could.

Candace has a brilliantly inspired theory as to who Trevor St. John will be playing in this week’s column, as she pondered Diane’s next move and Adam’s heartbreak. The absolute best part of the week for her, though, had to be Deacon’s crossover scenes with Nikki!
What Went Down This Week: Nikki visited Los Angeles and met with Deacon Sharpe to get dirt on Diane. Back in Genoa City, Diane got another mysterious text after she and Phyllis got fired and re-hired at Marchetti. Noah unveiled his new nightclub, and Victoria reluctantly agreed to tell Johnny that Chelsea was his birth mother.
