She appreciates hearing that, but she’s decided to accept a date with Trent Robbins. “We’re still married. And I don’t want you seeing him,” affirms John. Marlena wonders if he’s jealous.

Tony claims that Anna’s overreacting, but Lexie counters that he’s completely out of his mind if he’s thinking of going up against Stefano. Tony is aware of the atrocities Stefano’s responsible for, which is why he has to stay in the mansion and fight. He informs Lexie of the injunction which E.J. obtained.

They exchange hugs and Lexie reiterates her warning about him getting hurt
