Xander returns home to find Maggie babysitting. Xander tells Maggie that Theresa helped Konstantin kidnap Victoria. EJ is putting out an arrest warrant for her.
Xander and Maggie talk about Victor and Fiona hiding the truth from him. At least, Fiona finally told the truth. Maggie is sure that Victor planned on telling Xander the truth when he returned from Greece. She thinks the reason Victor was so hard on Xander because he could see himself in his son.
Sarah returns home. She tells Xander that she learned that Fiona was in an institution after suffering a nervous breakdown. Xander is not sure he trusts his mother. Sarah tells him that she seemed sincere.

I think Fiona fed Sarah a load of bunk. And Xander correctly smelled a rat.
He also correctly assessed this dumbass Victor subplot. Maggie what have you been smoking. What parent loves their offspring but neglects to tell them that person that very truth. Maggie sees his will as a gesture of love. Xander sees it as a gesture of guilt.
Xander gets a point for being closer to the point, but both are wrong in my mind. And looking back at the interactions between Xander and Victor this really makes no sense. Victor generally treated Xander like a house monkey.
One of these instances where Days dispels with realism for the sake of drama. But the drama is mitigated by its unbelievable premise.

Xander is very astute. He is correct that Fiona is lying (she is clearly not sober) and that Victor was feeling guilt. I have another theory, that with Bo in a coma and Phillip in the nuthouse, Xander was his last option for a son to inherit, and since Xander is capable and great as Titan CEO, he basically put all his eggs in that basket, since he left big trusts for his other two living children.
Victor respected Xander on and off, when he first came on he was gleeful about how much illegal monies Xander was making for him in Europe. And obviously they bonded over their love for Maggie when the baby swap occurred. They were on track, even with what we saw on screen, for Victor to tell him the truth, until Phillip came back and Victor had to protect his other, more vulnerable son. He knew Xander could handle anything, because he really was just like Victor

Xander was wrong when he labeled Philip as the golden child. Philip could never do anything right in Victor's eyes. They had a contentious relationship Philip's whole life. Even their last interaction was part of what led Philip to his breakdown.

Even their last interaction was part of what led Philip to his breakdown. Xander always said that. That's his interpretation but obviously he's wrong. Brady told him the same last year |

Xander really is so distrusting of his mother. I can't blame him...she lied to him his whole life about who he really is.
