Hysterical Feminism.

In Kate’s hospital room, Kate tells Chloe that she knows she’d help her if she could. Kate asks for Daniel, but they haven’t seen him. Kate thinks he’s finding it hard to face her. Lucas gives Kate one of Will’s first art projects, which is a plaster cast imprint of his hand, when he was young. Kate tells Chloe that there was a time when she and Lucas didn’t get along. Chloe had no idea. Kate says she knows when Lucas is hiding something, so Lucas comes clean and tells Kate about the engagement. Kate thought it was something like that. An upset Chloe runs out, giving them time alone. Chloe returns and Kate asks her not to presume to know what she was thinking. She admits she was overwhelmed but is in a position to look at the bigger picture. She can’t micromanage her sons' lives. She can see that Chloe makes Lucas happy and thanks her! Chloe is relieved and Daniel, who has been on the computer in the lounge, looking for a way to save Kate, arrives with a way for Kate to get the marrow transplant from Chloe. He has a colleague who might have a way to treat Chloe’s marrow and blood to be transplanted to Kate. The issues are that not only hasn’t it been approved yet, it could cause considerable risks. Kate can’t risk this and asks Lucas to go. Chloe tells Kate that she can’t force her to accept the donation, but she can’t stop her from making it. Kate grins and calls Chloe a venerable woman. “That means you’re one tough cookie,” says Lucas. Chloe and Daniel leave and Kate tries to talk Lucas out of doing this. It’ll compromise her immune system. Lucas reminds her that Daniel can be trusted.

Outside Kate's room, Daniel counsels Chloe to talk to her oncologist before she makes any decision but Chloe has made her decision. Still, she says she will discuss it with the oncologist.

I Know What I Want for Christmas!

Kate wakes up to Philip and says she must look like hell. She quietly asks him to go back to work, but he refuses. She promises she’s fighting like hell. Daniel arrives and they all agree to fight together. He has just received the family’s results. Kate feels a sharp pain and gasps. Philip grabs her hand while Daniel begs for her to take morphine. The pain subsides and she refuses medicine, preferring instead to feel alive. She cries as she tells Philip that this is bad. She has to face facts. If the treatment becomes too much, she asks Philip to respect whatever decision she makes. Philip uncomfortably agrees to be strong for the rest of the family. Philip leaves Daniel and Kate alone and Kate tells Daniel he doesn’t have to stick around. She asks if he has eaten tonight and he jokingly threatens to write in her file that she’s a nag. Kate admits how afraid she is and how personal this is getting for him and wonders if he’s putting too much pressure on himself because of his wife. Daniel says this is all about her, but Kate thinks he’s lying! Later, Daniel brings her a garish Christmas bulb. They laugh over it, and Kate admits she has always taken the holidays for granted. She’ll do it right if she gets another. Daniel is sure she will. A nurse arrives with a message. The results are in. “I know what I want for Christmas,” whispers Kate.

Daniel reads the results and is surprised.

Chloe and Lucas arrive at Kate’s room and Chelsea and Max arrive at the hospital. Chelsea leaves Max outside the room while they wait for Daniel, who shows up with the results. They’ve a match, but it’s not one of the children. It’s Chloe!

Funerals are Overrated!

A distracted Marlena meets Kayla at the pub. She’s confused and thought John would be there with an older man. Kayla hasn’t seen him, and reminds Marlena that she’s John’s doctor. She should know any news about him, so Marlena tells her that John agreed to see an old colleague of hers. Marlena tells Kayla that John almost killed somebody at her place, but Kayla points out that he saved her life. Marlena thinks Dr. Taylor can help him.

Stage Four....

Daniel finds Kate out on the patio and she says she couldn’t have asked for a better celebration. She asks about her test results. "The lung tumor is responding to your treatment, but the cancer has metastasized," he tells her. It’s in her lymph nodes, bone marrow and …she’s at stage four. Kate cries and asks how much time she has left. Daniel says there are cases where cancer has gone into remission for years. “We’re going to keep fighting this, Kate,” he says but she doesn’t want a pep talk. She calls this her bad karma coming to get her and sobs and won’t tolerate his asking her to stay strong. He asks her in return not to talk about karma again and says she has to pack up and get back to the hospital. She agrees to it and in tears, asks him to promise her she’ll come out of the hospital. He holds her hand and promises.

Kate arrives at the hospital with Daniel and settles in. Daniel gives her privacy and finds Chloe and Lucas outside her door and tells them that they’re going to kill Kate’s immune system and rebuild it from scratch. She needs a bone marrow transplant; he says….though he has told none of this to Kate. Lucas goes to see Kate while Chloe tells Daniel that Lucas proposed. She didn’t want Kate to see the ring, to give her something to worry about, and asks him to keep it private. He agrees to it.


Inside Kate’s room, she tells Lucas that she worries about him and he can help her by showing her how strong he is and asks if he’ll be okay without her. Lucas asks her not to talk like that and they both cry as Lucas promises he’ll be okay without her.

Tightly Wound.

Kate and Daniel arrive at the pub, where they find Lucas and Chloe. They explain they’ve got a surprise party planned for her at Victor’s place!

Brady meets Victor poolside, at the Kiriakis mansion. Victor asks how things are going, and Brady flashes back to telling Nicole that her baby didn’t make it. He admits that it hasn’t been what he expected!

Chelsea is thrilled to see Brady, poolside, and gives him a big hug. Brady goes to get the door while Chelsea tells Victor she’s trying not to feel responsible for Trent’s death. She blames Melanie now. “She made Nick crazy, literally.” They’re interrupted by Kate and Daniel, Chloe and Lucas. Kate’s thankful to be there and asks after Chelsea, who shares how shaken up she was to see Nick. Puzzled, she says Max made it better.
Chloe tries to make conversation with Victor, nearby, but he treats her with contempt. Chloe thinks dementia is settling in, considering he is the one who walked over to her. Chloe wonders if he has ever thought of forgiveness. Victor tells her one false move and there will be hell to pay.

Nearby, Daniel tells Brady how good he looks and gets something to drink, while Brady calls Nicole, to see how she is. Nicole lets her know that EJ’s back and she can’t talk.

Daniel interrupts Chloe and Victor’s tête à tête and tries to talk to him about Kate. When he Daniel receives a call, he asks Victor to make excuses for him while he steps out. Later, Chloe is sarcastic to Victor, and Brady asks Kate how she’s enjoying the party. She finds it first class, and asks how he is. He seems to be elsewhere, in his head. Brady’s fine and is happy she’s doing well.

Chelsea follows Chloe to the bar, and tells Chloe not to let her grandfather get to her. “He’s tightly wound.”
