Days of Our Lives Update
Update written by Joseph
Stephanie and Jada enter Bobby’s room at the Salem Inn are shocked to find Bobby unconscious on the bed. They try to wake him up. Jada checks his pulse and confirms he’s still breathing but his pulse is very weak. Jada questions what Bobby did. Jada then finds the Digoxin pills and asks how many he took. Bobby mutters that he didn’t take it. Jada urges him to think because if he took any of it, it could explain what’s happening right now. Bobby then responds that he’s not Bobby, he’s Everett.
At the DiMera Enterprises office, Connie declares that she has now washed her hands of the Bobby problem and can now focus on making Gabi and Stefan pay for what they did to Li. Connie then remarks to herself that the perfect ammunition just fell in to her lap and says to wait until Gabi hears that her husband slept with Ava Vitali. Ava then returns to the office.
Gabi finishes a call with the hospital and thanks them for everything they are doing for Rafe. Gabi hangs up and tells Stefan that there’s no change. Gabi knows it’s crazy, but part of her wants to go to Rafe’s room and scream for him to wake up. Stefan says if he thought that would bring him back, he would be doing that just so Rafe would wake up and arrest him for disturbing the peace. Gabi tells Stefan that she’s so sorry as she knows it’s their anniversary and he had this special day planned, so she should be focused on them. Stefan understands that her brother is in a coma so she’s allowed to focus on him. Gabi thanks Stefan and talks about sitting with Rafe while he seems so peaceful. Gabi wonders if he knows they are there. Stefan thinks he does. Gabi just wants Rafe to know that she loves and misses him and how important he is to her. Stefan believes Rafe knows all of those things and calls that his motivation to get back to them. Gabi knows Jada is on the case and she’s the best, but she has her hands full running the department and she is probably working on Abigail’s case too.
At the Spectator office, Jack reveals to Chad that they were able to enhance the video by 70%. Chad asks if it’s Abigail. Jack responds that he doesn’t know as he decided to wait for Chad. Chad prays for it to be Abigail. They plug in the flash drive to watch the video.
Gabi knows Stefan told her not to apologize but she still feels guilty for getting them off track from the reason they are here today. They then sit together at a table in the Bistro. Stefan pours them glasses of champagne and toasts to Rafe making a very swift and complete recovery. Gabi toasts to Abigail being found alive. Stefan then toasts to them as well. Gabi points out that they are already out of champagne. Stefan says he will be making them mojitos, pointing out that working at the Bistro is his job. Gabi brings up that he only has the job because Clyde was making him use it as a front, but she knows all the drug running was to keep her safe. Stefan calls it a small price to pay. Gabi then remarks that it wasn’t that small considering he had to pretend to be hooking up with Ava and questions whose idea that was anyway.
Connie thought Ava was going to a meeting. Ava says that Kristen said it could be in e-mail so she came back. Ava questions who Connie was talking to since she heard her say her name. Connie claims that she was just trying to memorize everyone’s name since she is new. Connie asks about Ava being new here too and what job she had before this. Connie then remembers that Ava used to work with Gabi’s husband.
Jada goes to call an ambulance while Stephanie stays with Everett and asks if it’s really him. Everett asks what happened and where he is. Stephanie explains that he’s in his room at the Salem Inn and they are calling for help as he might have accidentally overdosed. Stephanie asks what he last remembers. Everett says he was here when Bobby took over and that he tried so hard to get back to her. Stephanie exclaims that he’s here now and she’s with him, so he’s going to be okay as she tells him to hang on. Stephanie urges him to stay with her as the ambulance is on it’s way. Everett cries that he loves Stephanie and never stopped as he then passes out. Jada returns to them and checks his pulse, confirming that Everett has passed away. Jada then tells Stephanie that she’s so sorry. Stephanie is in shock and breaks down crying as Jada says they got there too late. Stephanie cries that it was Everett and she knows he came back. Stephanie asks what caused this and what’s in those pills. Jada points out that he said he didn’t take any. Stephanie wonders if Everett meant Bobby took them. Jada says it’s possible since at the station, he said he suddenly wasn’t feeling well. Jada doesn’t know what to think since there’s no sign of forced entry. Stephanie argues that something made Everett emerge. Jada notes that he was definitely Bobby at the police station. Jada guesses they have to start with the basics. Jada begins putting on her gloves and then goes to Everett’s laptop and says this could explain it as she finds what looks like a suicide note, unaware that it was typed by Connie.
Ava tells Connie that she worked with Stefan for awhile and guesses Connie did her research on her. Connie says she just knows random facts and asks if she knows when Gabi will be back. Ava informs her that Gabi is not coming back as she is taking a personal day to celebrate her wedding anniversary at the Bistro. Connie points out that’s where Ava used to work with Stefan. Connie says that’s good for them as they seem like a great couple. Connie guesses there’s no point in sticking around since Gabi is not coming back. Connie tells Ava that she’s really looking forward to working together and says she loves all the girl power in the office. Connie tells Ava that she will see her later and exits the office.
Stefan says that Gabi did all that to get back on track and now she just wants to talk about he and Ava fake dating. Gabi says it sort of is about them because if he fake dated Ava, that means he fake cheated on her while she was in prison. Stefan reminds her about the mojitos but Gabi presses on. Stefan says he only told her in the interest in full disclosure but he never would’ve told her if he thought it would upset her. Gabi states that they are honest with each other about these things and she just wants him to reassure her that it wasn’t his idea. Stefan assures her that he wasn’t even there when Ava pitched the idea to Harris to get him to back off. Gabi comments that then Stefan and Ava got down to dealing drugs and blames Clyde. Stefan says that Harris totally bought it but then Chad came in and questioned he and Ava working together and was convinced they were in the drug trade. Stefan flashes back to Chad confronting he and Ava at the DiMera Mansion. Stefan tells Gabi that Chad was like a dog with a bone, so Ava had to resurrect the lie to throw his scent off. Stefan guesses they needed to lean in to it and sell it a little bit, admitting to Gabi that Ava kissed him. Gabi is shocked while Stefan insists that it was only to keep up their cover and get Chad to shut up. Gabi supposes she understands that. Gabi says they can drop it but then questions if it was just one kiss. Gabi decides she doesn’t want the details but then stops and suggests they put everything out in the open. Gabi asks again if all that happened between he and Ava was just one kiss. Stefan admits that it wasn’t all.
Jack and Chad watch the video repeatedly but Chad complains that the woman in the video never turns to face the camera. Jack argues that it doesn’t mean it’s a dead end since it’s not just the woman in the video but maybe the room it’s taken in could give them a clue as to where it is. They watch the video again to examine the room. Jack points out that the walls are bare and the window doesn’t look open. Chad then spots something and questions what it is.
Stephanie tells Jada that Everett would not do this as he had hopes and dreams and wanted to live. Jada says it might have been a different story with Bobby. Jada reads the letter that says he should’ve known Jada would figure it all out, so he might as well confess to faking being Everett to get out of Bayview, faking being integrated to get close to her, and then stabbing Rafe to get him out of the way. Stephanie points out that Bobby said he didn’t stab Rafe when Jada saw him earlier. Jada continues reading that “Bobby” wrote he was going to go down for Rafe’s stabbing anyway and that Jada would never take him back so he had nothing left to live for, adding that he left the gloves he wore when attacking Rafe in the dresser drawer with Rafe’s blood on them. Jada goes to the drawer and retrieves the planted gloves, leaving her and Stephanie shocked in tears.
Melinda goes to the DiMera Enterprises office to see Ava. Ava mocks her so Melinda asks if she’s done something to offend her. Ava says not today, but when she was district attorney. Melinda points out that they are on the same side now. Melinda gets that they have issues with each other but says she will never forget what Ava’s son did to help her daughter Haley, so she’s grateful to him. Melinda thinks if Haley was still here, she’d want Ava to know that too. Ava says she is very sorry for her loss. Melinda calls Haley a wonderful young woman and says it was incredibly painful when she tragically died at Kristen’s hands. Melinda adds that if she can put aside that pain for the time she has to be around Kristen at work, then maybe there is hope for them. Ava agrees and asks if there’s something she can do for her. Melinda says she was just reviewing the newest employee contracts and brings up Gabi’s latest hire. Melinda adds that after pulling Connie’s file, she encountered something strange..
Gabi asks Stefan if things escalated after Ava kissed him. Stefan says there was another time where they kissed. Gabi questions if they were practicing. Stefan insists this isn’t fun for him. Stefan explains that Harris came back sniffing around and asking a lot of questions after Ava already told him they were a thing, but they needed to send the point home to cover for all the time they were spending together, so he kissed her. Stefan assures that it was only to keep up their cover. Gabi doesn’t want to overreact but talks about being in prison while Stefan was out macking on Ava. Stefan wishes she wouldn’t put it like that. Gabi supposes he didn’t have a choice. Stefan states that everything conspired to put him in that situation. Stefan declares that was it, two kisses for Chad and Harris and that was it. Connie then arrives and says she’s sorry to interrupt.
Chad points out to Jack that they can see through the window in the video. Jack sees it’s part of a billboard in the distance. Chad wonders if it’s a logo. Jack zooms in and they wonder if it’s skates or rollerblades. Chad wonders if it could be an ad for a skating rink. They are able to make out the numbers 573. Chad believes it’s an area code.
Stefan tells Connie that they are closed for a private event. Gabi reminds Stefan that she met Connie at EJ’s press conference. Connie says it’s nice to see him again after getting to know his wife. Gabi reveals that she hired her at Gabi Chic and Connie is her new assistant. Connie calls the Bistro so nice and says she wishes she would’ve come with her old boyfriend. Gabi asks why she’s here. Connie says that a birdie told her that they were celebrating their anniversary so maybe it’s not the best time. Gabi says it’s okay and asks why she’s here. Connie responds that it’s about Ava Vitali.
Melinda tells Ava that she met Connie a few times. Ava asks about her finding something strange and then questions where she met her. Melinda informs Ava that it was at Small Bar where Connie was on a blind date with Li Shin which shocks Ava, calling it a strange match. Melinda notes that she was also on a blind date with Alex Kiriakis. Melinda says she recognized the address on Connie’s forms and that she’s now living in Li’s old apartment which she finds weird.
Stephanie tells Jada that none of this feels real. Jada wishes it wasn’t and bags the gloves, saying she will take it down to forensics. Stephanie reminds Jada that they didn’t finish reading the “suicide note”, so they go back to it. Jada reads that it finished with the only thing left to say is that I’m sorry to Jada, Rafe, Stephanie, and especially to Everett and maybe they can both be at peace now. The medics place Everett in a bodybag. Stephanie breaks down crying as Jada hugs her. The medics then stretcher Everett’s body out of the room. Jada tells Stephanie that she’s taken all the evidence she needs. Jada then finds Everett’s phone on the floor next to the bed and sees that he had dialed 911 but didn’t call. Jada says this doesn’t make sense and questions why Bobby would try to kill himself but try to call for help.
Ava tells Melinda that maybe Connie didn’t know Li lived there since Wendy’s name was on the apartment. Melinda mentions running in to Connie another time on Valentine’s Day and she blew up at her, blaming her for Li’s death, and then a third time, Connie sought her out to apologize, saying she realized that Li’s death wasn’t her fault. Ava calls this a lot of fallout from one blind date. Ava guesses that Connie is eccentric to put it mildly. Ava suggests maybe she was smitten with Li and couldn’t have stopped thinking about what life might have been or that she’s lonely and living in Li’s apartment brings her some kind of creepy comfort. Melinda calls it very creepy and mentions her strange interactions with her. Ava remarks that it’s not like Connie killed Li.
Gabi asks Connie if Ava sent her. Connie says it was her idea to come when she heard they were both here as Ava needed some documents signed and she was going to messenger them over, but she likes to do things in person. Connie remarks that she assumes Stefan knows Ava. Gabi comments that he knows Ava real well. Stefan says that they used to be partners at the Bistro. Connie says she heard about that. Gabi signs the documents. Connie then tells them to not give business another thought since they were separated for a long time and deserve to spend their anniversary in peace. Connie then exits the Bistro. Stefan calls her interesting while Gabi says she’s certainly enthusiastic and admits that she’s already made her life that much easier, even if she could do without interruptions like that. Stefan guesses she just wants to impress her and is glad that Gabi has someone she can depend on.
Chad looks up the area code and finds out it’s in Missouri, recognizing Poplar Bluff which was Clyde Weston’s hometown. Jack says that Clyde could be holding Abigail there and asks how long it’s been since he lived there. Chad is sure it’s been quite awhile but he’s sure he still has contacts there. They decide there’s only one way to find out if Abigail is there, so they exit together.
Stefan and Gabi have mojitos at the Bistro. Stefan is glad their anniversary is back on track. Gabi says she knows Stefan is just counting the hours until he takes her to bed which Stefan admits to. Gabi promises to make it her mission that Stefan forgets about his kisses with Ava. Stefan asks if that means they are okay. Gabi says yes and admits she overreacted. Gabi apologizes for what she said to Connie about how well he knows Ava. Stefan says it’s fine. Gabi just hates the idea of someone else messing around with her husband, but since it was just two kisses, she supposes she can live with it. Gabi and Stefan then kiss and hug.
Melinda decides maybe Ava has a point since Connie didn’t kill Li, Gil Carter did. Ava points out that she killed Gil which Melinda calls completely justifiable. Ava jokes about two people being killed in the same apartment. Melinda says maybe that’s why Connie took the place.
Connie walks through the town square, saying it would’ve been fun to blow Stefan and Gabi out of the water right there but maybe it’s more fun to keep the information to herself so she can make sure it’s perfect when she drops the bomb. The medics then come by with Everett/Bobby’s body being stretchered away, so Connie says bye bye to Bobby.
Jada and Stephanie wonder if Bobby changed his mind after taking the pills or if he was Everett by that point and tried calling for help, but was too weak to press send. Stephanie cries that it’s so heartbreaking as they hug.
