Daytime Soap Opera Short Recaps
Recap written by Michele and Cheryl
Kristen saw Brady and Rachel together at the pub. Brady sent Rachel to wash her hands while he talked to Sarah. He wanted to know about the way Sarah reacted when she found out Sophia’s baby was a girl. He told her that she was uncomfortable. Brady wondered if Sarah had something to tell him. Sarah reminded him that she couldn’t violate HIPPA regulations. Brady thought her answer meant she was hiding something. Shawn interrupted Sarah and Brady to let them know that the jury reached a verdict. They already knew the verdict was in. Rachel ran into Shawn’s arms. EJ let Marlena know that Kristen was on her way to the courthouse with a foolproof way of getting Johnny off. He warned her that he would tell the judge the truth about who really shot him if she didn’t show up. Court began, and the judge wanted Leo to read the verdict. Leo stood up and puffed out his chest before he began to talk. EJ interrupted Leo which upset the judge. She reprimanded EJ for his interruption. Kristen burst into the courtroom to interrupt the proceedings. She demanded to be heard. Kristen was there to confess. She said she was the one who shot her brother. Everyone in the court let out big gasps. The judge wanted a recess and demanded that Kristen be taken into custody. Marlena told EJ that she didn’t think Rachel would fare any better with her mother in prison for a crime she didn’t commit. EJ told her that Rachel didn’t remember that, and he didn’t plan on telling her. He went back to the courtroom.
In the judge’s chambers, Kristen tried to convince Belle and the judge that she snapped and grabbed the gun. She demanded that EJ tell her where to find her mother. Kristen said that he reached for the gun, and it went off. She didn’t mean to do it, but she wiped the gun clean and hid it. Kristen didn’t call for help because she was in shock, but now she wants to take responsibility for her actions. The judge wanted Sean to arrest Kristen for attempted murder. As Kristen walked out of the room, she looked at EJ. EJ went to the courtroom where Johnny’s case was dismissed. After the court was adjourned, Johnny and Chanel shared a tender moment. Johnny ignored EJ’s attempts to congratulate him on the dismissal. EJ left to allow Johnny to celebrate his victory. Belle told EJ that she was happy for Johnny. She was sorry it happened that way, and EJ agreed with her. Belle left him alone in the courtroom. Rachel asked Sarah and Brady how long it would take for the verdict would come in. She prayed that Johnny wouldn’t be found guilty. Belle arrived at the pub to tell them the good news about Johnny. Belle pulled Brady aside to let him know that Kristen confessed to shooting EJ. Shawn cuffed Kristen to the chair at the police station. Marlena arrived so Shawn left the room. She told Kristen that she couldn’t confess. Kristen thought it was the only way to keep Rachel and Johnny safe. Marlena promised not to say anything to take care of Rachel. She wasn’t sure if Rachel would remember what she did, but she would be there for her. Kristen knew Brady would hate her for what she did. She had to make the sacrifice. Marlena was impressed with her selflessness.
