He calls this evening the best since he has been back in Salem. She agrees it is not good to eat alone. He grins it is good to be here with a beautiful woman.

Allie thanks her and agrees to go feed Henry this time. Kayla now comes by asking for a favor ... Xander follows Sarah to their room and apologizes. Sarah sighs she and Phil were just chatting. He doesn't buy it. Phillip always has an agenda ... Downstairs Phil calls his contact and boasts about making Xander blow up.
