Daytime Soap Opera Short Recaps
Recap written by Michele and Cheryl
Gwen woke up alone in her bed. She thought about what happened with Xander the night before. Things got hot and heavy with Xander, but he couldn’t go through with having sex with her. Someone knocked on her door, and she was very annoyed by it. JJ was the person at the door. They argued over who destroyed the family. He didn’t want to get into that. JJ wanted to talk to her about the necklace. Gwen was upset and told him that the necklace belonged to her fair and square. He said it was stolen, and he had a right to take it back. Gwen blocked him from leaving and told him that he didn’t have proof the necklace belonged to Julie first. She snatched the necklace and said that Julie could sue her if she wanted it so badly. Gwen wanted JJ to leave. JJ knew Gwen wanted to make the Hortons suffer because their father made a life with his mother instead of her mother. Gwen reminded him that they had everything, and she had nothing. She said that Jack didn’t have room for another daughter by the time she came around. JJ wanted her to get over it. He advised her to wallow or change her life for the better. Gwen told him that her life was perfect because she’s rich and young. She didn’t need anything else. JJ told her that she needed family. Chanel was getting ready to set up a Sweet Bits stand when Paulina arrived. She wanted to talk to Chanel. She told Chanel that she didn’t have a choice when she had Johnny arrested. Paulina didn’t have the luxury not to do the right thing. She hoped that she was wrong about Johnny. Hurting Chanel was the last thing Paulina wanted to do. She couldn’t give him special treatment. Paulina hoped Chanel understood that. Chanel finally accepted that Paulina thought she did the right thing. She didn’t know what to do for Johnny. Paulina advised her to keep the faith. She hugged Chanel, but she pulled back. Chanel told her that EJ said she couldn’t talk about the case. Paulina understood, but she warned her to be careful when it concerned EJ. He always had a trick up his sleeve. Xander and Philip argued at the office about trying to help the company when Johnny arrived. Philip said that they would support Johnny. He said that he wanted Johnny there to do a video statement together. Philip thought it would show that there wasn’t any dissension in the ranks. Xander wasn’t thrilled with the idea. Philip told him that they had to address the situation directly. Johnny agreed with Philip. Things at the company were bad ever since Xander was accused of attacking Philip. A joint statement would squash the problems. Xander agreed to do it. He thought it would be hard to pretend to like Philip.
EJ was on the phone with Rita when Tony walked in the room. He wanted to know what EJ was up to. EJ told him that he was running errands at the hospital, but Tony didn’t believe him. Tony talked to him about the Kiriakises taking DiMera Enterprises from them. He didn’t want to wait for Xander and Philip to implode. Tony wanted to find someone in the company to turn on them. EJ wanted to know why he wanted them company back since he wasn’t going to run it. Tony didn’t respond to that. He wanted the company back so a DiMera could run it again. Tony didn’t know who could run it since everyone messed it up when they ran it. EJ suggested that Johnny run the company. Tony loved Johnny, but he didn’t think he had enough experience to run the company. He mentioned that Johnny would be stuck in court. Tony wondered what would happen if Johnny got convicted. EJ was sure that Johnny would beat the charges. Tony thought EJ was going to fix the evidence to help Johnny. He warned EJ not to interfere with Johnny’s case. EJ thanked him and brushed of his warning. Belle and Jada reviewed the evidence in the case. They found out that Roman’s gun was the attempted murder weapon. The evidence didn’t help Johnny look innocent. Jada couldn’t believe the judge didn’t recuse Belle from the case. Belle promised to give Johnny a fair trial. Jada hoped the memory card would have the shooting on it. Belle didn’t think it would help. They thought it might give them an idea who else wanted to shoot EJ. The forensics team finished with the memory card. Jada and Belle watched the memory card and were shocked by what they saw. They wondered what they would do now. Jada called Paulina so she could watch the new evidence. Belle called EJ to tell him about the footage they saw. She wanted him to see it for himself. Paulina arrived at the station and saw the footage. She was shocked when she saw Chanel arguing with EJ. The footage concluded with her telling him that he wouldn’t stop unless someone made him. She wasn’t going to let him live long enough to hurt anyone else.
