Two Tigers and a Ball of Twine.

Kate paints her fingernails as Daniel looks over her chart. She recalls the first time she painted them and how sophisticated she felt. Daniel says she has another half hour of Chemo. Kate's tired, so Daniel leaves her. Kate reads and a nurse interrupts.

Outside her room, Chloe and Lucas arrive and Lucas has questions for Daniel. He wonders what Kate's odds are at beating this. He knows that it depends on early detection and how the patient responds to treatment. Daniel agrees that's true but isn't sure about her odds. There are too many variables, he tells Lucas and Chloe, but admits the odds aren't good, but Kate has a lot to live for and is going through an aggressive treatment. "It's her best chance to survive," he says and invites Lucas to call him anytime to discuss it. Chloe supports Lucas and thinks Kate will get through this. They hug, and when the nurse leaves Kate's room, Lucas goes in alone, to see her.

In her room, Kate continues to read until Lucas arrives. She welcomes him to the penthouse and laughs. She says it's feeling like a mini-vacation, but Lucas thinks she's trying to prove how strong she is. He asks her to use her energy to fight. He returns to Chloe and asks if she'd talk to his mother about fighting cancer while he goes to the gift shop to get her a present. Chloe's skeptical that Kate will want to see her but agrees to it. She goes inside, but Kate tells her to get out! Chloe cares for Lucas and knows she means a lot to him. She was happy to come in here, she says. Kate apologizes for being so rude and admits she cares more about her kids than herself, probably. Since her illness will be the hardest on Lucas, she'd like to call a truce. She still hasn't forgiven her for breaking Philip's heart. Chloe says that's fine and once she leaves, she stands outside Kate's door, taking deep breaths. Daniel comes upon her. "Are you alright?" She confesses she's a cancer survivor and still takes anti-rejection drugs. She still feels she's on borrowed time. Lucas arrives and they're set to take Allie out trick-or-treating. They plan to take photos for Kate. Daniel asks if they'll return tomorrow and give Kate time to rest this evening. Chloe thanks Daniel for the talk and they leave.

Daniel goes to Kate with the magazine Lucas purchased for her and lies on her bed and visits.

Family Sticks Together!

Philip and Lucas arrive at the Kiriakis mansion. By the pool, Kate tells them she's been working hard to get her company off the ground. Lucas says profits are through the roof. Kate tells them she's taking time off. She has lung cancer. Philip hugs her and tells her they'll fight with her and Lucas tells her they love her. Philip has done research and knows they've new, wonderful drugs. Kate needs their help with her business while she's in treatment. Kate asks Philip to release Lucas from his contract so he can run Hearth and Home. Lucas is up for it, but knows she'll be back. He asks for a second opinion, even though Daniel's a great doctor. Kate refuses, but Lucas asks Philip if his father can help them. Philip asks Lucas to allow Kate to decide this herself. Victor's the one who brought Daniel here. He's the best. Kate asks them to put aside their feelings about her relationship with Daniel. Philip says he will but Lucas refuses. Dr. Falk and Dr. Knapp are the best doctors available, Kate tells Lucas, who finally acquiesces. Kate says she already told Billie and Austin and when Daniel arrives, she is ready to go. Lucas pulls Daniel aside and Philip tells Kate he's proud of her strength. Kate admits she's had her moments. She's happy for their support.

Nearby, Lucas confronts Daniel, who tells her that his relationship with Kate won't cause issue with his case.

Kate goes into the hospital for chemotherapy and Dr. Knapp tells her what to expect. Lucas and Philip think they can play the game Boggle, and they all laugh. They used to have matches all the time. Philip and Kate laugh, but Kate says she's fine. She'd rather be alone to watch TV and read. She'll have Daniel call when it's over. The men reluctantly leave, but before Lucas does, he admits he'd rather stay there with her. Kate asks him to talk to Tony and Anna about the new ad campaign. He asks for a rain check on Boggle, and leaves.

Later, Chelsea arrives at Kate's side. She hands her a necklace with a medal of the Greek saint Sophia. She says her Grandpa gave it to her while she was in the hospital and hopes it'll work for her. She rushes out without another word.

Sleeping with a Killer!

Kate arrives at the hospital to Daniel, who wonders why she's there. She tells him she's returning his swim shorts and he asks her to stop waving them around, or he'll have explaining to do! She leans into him as he brings her behind a curtain and tries to kiss him but Daniel says they can't do this. Kate asks if he wants to break it off again, but Daniel asks her to stop. He's feeling crazed about waiting for the results as well. Kate hasn't coughed in over 24 hours and has her appetite back, she says. Daniel's happy to hear that, and she tells him that whether or not she's dying, she wants him, and wants to make love to him. She doesn't want her life under a microscope. They start kissing.

Chelsea asks a nurse if she has seen Dr. Jonas anywhere. The nurse says he was just here a moment ago and is probably nearby. Daniel and Kate stop kissing when Daniel's pager goes off and Chelsea walks in on them. Kate says she should knock before she barges in on a patient. Kate says she's fine, and has something to drop off to Daniel, when Chelsea asks, and Chelsea has documents for him to look over. Daniel has to go up to ICU and asks Chelsea to wait with Kate, for him to return. Chelsea asks what Kate was returning to Daniel. Kate changes the subject and Chelsea admits she was going to call her about their talk in the dressing room at the shop. She spoke with Lexi and says what happened between her and Daniel reminded her of what she went through with Nick and Billie. Chelsea loves Kate so much and got emotional. Chelsea says she knows things with Kate and Daniel are over and she's ready to forgive her and forget. Kate thanks Chelsea and they hug, but she sees Daniels shorts and asks if this is what she's returning to him. She starts to cry and Kate apologizes. Chelsea is hurt and disrespects Kate, who tells her that Daniel and Chelsea are over. It was her decision. She treated it as an adult decision and she's not ashamed of what she's doing. "At your age, I think you should be past temper tantrums," she says. Daniel returns, but stays away, while Chelsea tells Kate that she's selfish and wants her out of her life, forever. Kate asks her to be careful for what she wishes for. Daniel walks in and Kate asks him to read the results. Kate has lung cancer. Chelsea starts to sob.

Show Me the Money!

Outside, by the pool at the Kiriakis mansion, Kate rants to her assistant on the phone, when she's surprised by a dripping and half naked Daniel, who has just come from the pool. They discuss Chelsea and how Kate thinks they're on their way to reconciliation. When Kate says she is feeling optimistic about the biopsy results, Daniel's face falls. He has no news for her yet and he'd like Kate to be prepared for whatever happens. Kate wants to seize the day, so they agree to split a bottle of wine. The lab calls and the results are inconclusive. The tissue showed no signs of malignancy, but that doesn't mean she is free of cancer. Kate tells him that having him there has helped her. She thinks it's true. When you face mortality, you appreciate things more. She trails her fingers though his chest hair as she tells him that the thought of wasting time and passing up happiness doesn't make sense. They move in and kiss, passionately, then have sex. He holds her hand and snuggles her close as he tells her to remember that he's with her every step of the way. They start kissing again.

Life is Too Short!

Kate goes on a spending spree, and while she's in the dressing room, Chelsea finds her. She tells Kate that Daniel told her that she went missing and asked her to go looking for her. She says Daniel told her that this was a matter of life and death, but Kate says it must have been a misunderstanding. Chelsea tells her that after today, she doesn't want to see her. Kate gets a text message from Daniel, telling her there is news on the biopsy. She sighs and tells Chelsea that a recent cough has forced her to have tests. Chelsea calls herself selfish. Kate is glad she's there and wants to discuss things and put it to rest, but Chelsea can't. She can't forgive or forget that it happened initially. Kate has had it with Chelsea's self-pity, anger and resentment. She has been forgiven many times, but yet she is cruel, punishing and continues to judge her. She tells Chelsea that what she did with Daniel wasn't wrong. The sooner Chelsea deals with that the better off she'll be. "Life is too short," she says, and Chelsea would like to get over this but she can't.

Sweet Southern Squeeze

After Kate's biopsy, Kate tries to leave the hospital but Daniel stops her. When she starts to cough, she gets back into bed and allows Daniel to give her oxygen. She'd like an official diagnosis, and Daniel says they'll know, soon. According to the literature she has on lung cancer, she may not have much time, but he argues that it's not always the case. She doesn't want to spend her time in the hospital, she yells. She's launching a new line of cookware today and needs to be at work! Daniel tells her to delegate, and goes off to check on her biopsy results. After he's gone, Kate gets up to leave, but Daniel returns and catches her. She won't stay, so he asks to get her a portable oxygen mask, but she refuses and storms out. "If you find something out, call me," she says, between coughs.

It's a Sleepover!

Lucas arrives at Kate's bedside in the hospital. She tells him and Philip, who is also there, that there was an abnormality on her lung x-ray. She informs them it could be lung cancer, but says Daniel will know better after he does the biopsy. Philip explodes. "I don't want Daniel Jonas anywhere near you!" Philip starts hollering for 'Dr. Jonas', but Kate tells him to stop. She asks why he's so upset, and he explains that he shouldn't have told her she had cancer when he wasn't sure! "You don't do that!" Kate tells Lucas and Philip that she loves them and it's okay to be scared - but she's going to fight this with all she has. "I have so much to live for." Philip jokes that they need her to tell them when they're screwing up. She laughs, then somberly says she may need the roles to reverse - she may need them now. They vow to be there for her.

Daniel comes into Kate's room to prep her for surgery and Philip gets in his face. "Why are you involved here?" Daniel says he cares, but Philip insists he needs someone unbiased. He tells Daniel to keep away from his mother! Dr. Jonas informs Philip that that is Kate's decision. Lucas tells Philip to calm down, but he continues to spout off about how Daniel ruined Kate's relationship with Chelsea. Kate steps in then, and tells Philip that he is acting like she is a child - and her medical care is her business. "I want Daniel to oversee my case, because I know he's the best and will do everything he can to get me better!" Kate apologizes to Daniel for Philip's behavior, and Philip also gets humble. Daniel goes out, and Kate tells her boys it's time for them to leave too. The doctor comes in to put her under, and Daniel comes to her bedside. She tells him that she is glad he's there.
