We return to Maggie and Xander, he has just told her that Kristen has a cure for Sarah. Xander reiterates that all the doctors he consulted agree that Sarah's chances of walking again are remote. Maggie wants to know what Kristen knows that doctors do not. It's not a what but a who says Xander: Wilhelm Rolf. Maggie calls Rolf a lunatic. Xander tells her it is a serum that Kristen will hand over, for a price. Maggie wants to know the price. Xander tells her that they have to let Brady walk.

Maggie calls Kristen delusional. Xander explains that without Sarah's testimony EJ has nothing. Maggie says that sounds like an impossible choice for Sarah to make. Xander tells her Sarah already made her choice but EJ is threatening her with prison. Maggie is furious at that. Xander continues that now Brady is going to prison, Sarah will never walk again, and it's all his fault. He looks devastated.

Maggie wants to know how this is Xander's fault. Kristen is the one demanding Sarah lie to the police. Xander actually looks around to check that nobody is listening, unlike Fabby, Mark or Steve today lol. Xander then tells Maggie that Sarah doesn't really remember. She convinced herself she had to do it. She made up the story about Brady to save Xander. Maggie is instantly angry. Save Xander from what? Xander asks if she recalls him with the gun. Maggie certainly does, and his story about needing extra security. Xander knows she didn't buy it, and obviously it wasn't true. He was going to use it to kill Brady.

Maggie asks if Xander would really have gone that far. Xander can't lie to her. He needed justice for Sarah that she wasn't going to get. Not unless he did something. When Sarah found out what he had planned she called the police and said she remembered Brady being the driver. Maggie notes that Sarah lied to save Xander from himself. Xander tells her the whole story about drugging Brady and staging a suicide. Maggie is now very emotional. She reminds him that she told him nothing good could come from his need for revenge. When she saw him with the gun she begged him to let it go. Xander says it was already too late then, everything had played out. If the police hadn't shown up when they did. He stops talking. Maggie doesn't want to think about it. Xander is distraught, saying thanks to him Brady will stay locked up and Sarah will never get the cure.

Xander asks Maggie if she hates him. She could never hate him. But he is his own worst enemy. When he lets himself get consumed by rage it just hurts himself, and the people he loves. Xander knows that now. How will Sarah ever forgive him? How can he forgive himself? Maggie decides that she will go to Kristen and appeal to her as a mother. Xander says she will be appealing to Kristen's heart, but there is no evidence she has one. Maggie has to try. Xander is sad that Maggie is always fixing problems he creates. Maggie says Xander knows how she feels about him, but this she is doing for Sarah. She departs. Xander sits with Victoria and tells her that he's got them all into another fine mess.

Suzanne always rocks her scenes. This was hard to watch, my heart went out to Maggie. I have been in Maggie place. There are child/adult in a family who seem to never learn from their mistakes and how their actions hurt not just them but the rest of the family who love them.

I was at least happy that Xander told Maggie the truth. He loves and respects her and that's refreshing on this show.
