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.

Days of Our Lives Update

 

Update written by Joseph

At the DiMera Enterprises office, Gabi goes over ideas for Gabi Chic with Ava. Ava tells her it all sounds great but Gabi notes her being distracted and questions why Ava seems anxious. Ava responds that it’s her first project at DiMera and she wants it to go well for both of them. Gabi says that’s the goal. Ava asks Gabi how Rafe is doing. Gabi responds that he’s unfortunately the same. Ava says she’s sorry to hear that and she hopes he makes a full recovery and that they catch whoever attacked him.

In the interrogation room, Bobby as “Everett” tells Jada that he’s not a murderer. Jada argues that he was freed from Bayview the same day that Rafe got stabbed and then Stephanie went to visit him as he was getting out of the shower. Jada questions if he was washing off evidence from a bloody crime scene. He says no, so Jada asks why he looks so guilty. He laughs it off and repeats that he’s not Bobby. Jada calls him her best suspect in two stabbing attacks, so her next move will be to get on the phone with some experts to come evaluate him as she’s pretty sure they will tell him that he’s still Bobby and not Everett, so he better come back with some better responses. He then admits that he’s Bobby but insists that he did not stab Li or Rafe, but he can tell her who did, so Jada asks who it was.

Connie comments to herself on planting gloves to stay out of prison but Leo knocks on the door, saying he needs to talk to Everett and asks if he’s in there. Connie questions what the hell he wants. Leo says that he just wants to talk to him about Stephanie.

Stephanie leaves the Brady Pub and calls Jada, leaving her a message about her run-in with Leo and how Leo suspected that Bobby isn’t Everett. Stephanie mentions that she hopes she convinced Leo to keep his mouth shut because the last thing they need is for him to publish that in the Spectator.

Jack goes to the Spectator office to see Chad. Chad says he just heard Xander gave Jack his half of the paper back and calls it the best news he heard all day. Chad tells Jack that he looks forward to working with him again and asks if he’s here to talk shop. Jack responds that he’s actually here to talk about Abigail. Jack mentions just coming from the lab where they are moving painfully slow in enhancing the video of the woman that Clyde claims is Abigail. Chad asks if he had a breakthrough .Jack says not exactly, but he recruited the help of an old friend who has introduced some innovative AI techniques in to the mix. Jack says if that doesn’t work, they won’t be able to help them anymore. Jack wanted Chad to know that today they are going to find out if the video is a dead end or not. Jack declares that if it is a dead end, he will go back to Boston to tell Jennifer that they are back to square one, as if she wasn’t upset enough that they dug up Abigail’s grave. Chad points out that if it doesn’t pan out, they have nothing since Abigail’s grave is empty and Clyde’s in solitary so they can’t ask him any questions. Chad declares that if it isn’t true, he can’t rest until Abigail is back with them, resting in peace. Jack decides he will go back to see if he can speed things up but Chad stops him.

Leo continues calling out to Everett from behind the door and then says if he’s not there, he’ll just see him at the office. Connie then accidentally knocks something over in the room, causing a sound that Leo hears so he continues to call out for Everett. Leo then decides Everett must not want to talk to him and walks away. Connie sighs in relief, saying that was close.

Jada asks Bobby who stabbed Rafe if it wasn’t him. Bobby hesitates and says to give him a second. Bobby then suddenly says he doesn’t feel that well.

Gabi tells Ava that she’s counting on Jada to find the bastard that did this to Rafe. Gabi then gets a call from Stefan, who says he needs to see her at the Bistro. Gabi says that she and Ava are in the middle of the Gabi Chic launch campaign but Stefan says it can’t wait. Gabi asks him what’s going on. Stefan would rather discuss it in person, so Gabi says she’s on her way and hangs up. Ava asks if everything is okay. Gabi says that Stefan apparently has something to tell her in person and wants her to come to the Bistro. Ava hopes it’s nothing bad. Gabi guesses she will find out and apologizes to Ava. Ava tells Gabi not to worry about it and to go ahead. Gabi then exits the office. Ava wonders why she suddenly doesn’t feel so well.

Jada asks Bobby how gullible he thinks she is and tells him that this isn’t second grade where he can fake being sick. Bobby responds that he’s not faking it and repeats that he doesn’t feel that well as his head is spinning. Bobby suddenly says he has to go and runs out of the room while Jada yells after him that she just needs a name. Jada then gets a call.

Connie plants the bloody gloves in Bobby’s room and the note she typed on his laptop, then plants a bottle of pills on his nightstand.

Chad tells Jack that the half of the paper he bought from Gwen belongs to him. Jack assures Chad that he wants him to keep it since it was always meant to be Abigail’s. Jack declares that someday it will go to Thomas and Charlotte as that’s what Abigail would want and how it should be. After Jack leaves, Leo arrives at the Spectator office and greets Chad. Leo tells Chad that he has a good problem in having too many gossip items to choose from including Alex being out as Victor’s heir, Xander being set to star in Body and Soul, or if he should turn his lens inward this week which Chad questions. Leo explains that Everett is back from Bayview and the question is if he seems like himself. Chad says he hasn’t spoken to him much since he wouldn’t know. Leo talks about Everett being holed up in his room all the time, so he hasn’t seen him much either. Leo mentions knocking on his door earlier and getting totally blown off.

Connie sneaks out of Bobby’s hotel room and leaves the key card on the floor outside.

Jada finishes her call in the interrogation room, saying to let her know immediately. Stephanie arrives and asks if it’s a bad time. Jada says she’s up to her eyeballs but they need to debrief. Jada informs Stephanie that Bobby admitted to faking Everett’s emergence to get out of Bayview and that he only pretended to be integrated so people wouldn’t suspect he was still Bobby. Stephanie realizes that he was in to Jada then and believes that’s why he stabbed Rafe to get him out of the way. Jada notes that Bobby vehemently denied doing that. Jada adds that Bobby says he knows who did but as soon as she pressed him for specifics, he got sick and said he had to go home.

Bobby returns to his hotel room in pain and finds his keycard on the floor, wondering what is wrong with him.

Kristen goes to the DiMera Enterprises office and tells Ava that she hopes she’s not interrupting. Ava says not at all and that she’s just working on the Gabi Chic relaunch campaign, showing her that they came up with “Chic is Back”. Kristen suggests “Chic Never Left” which Ava likes. Kristen then asks where Gabi is. Ava responds that she had to leave because Stefan summoned her to discuss something he apparently couldn’t talk about over the phone. Kristen calls that unacceptable on only Gabi’s second day. Ava reveals that she actually told Gabi that she could go. Kristen questions why she would do that. Ava explains that she fears the inevitable is about to happen so she wants to get it over with. Kristen questions what she’s talking about and tells her to be serious. Ava clarifies that she just fears that Stefan is planning to tell Gabi that they slept together while she was in prison.

Gabi goes to the Bistro and questions Stefan why it’s closed and what’s wrong. Stefan responds that he wanted one on one time with his wife. Gabi questions doing that now. Stefan asks when if not now. Gabi suggests not when she’s in the middle of an ad campaign and complains that she has a zoom meeting with an investor in Dubai in two hours. Stefan reminds her that she shares her calendar with him and he knows her meeting is tomorrow. Stefan tells Gabi that he missed her and asks if that’s okay. Gabi admits she’s missed him too and she hates that she’s working at DiMera while he’s not, but he has to understand how important this is to her as making Gabi Chic a global brand will take a lot of her time and attention. Stefan assures that he understands and asks her to just give him a minute as he surprises her with roses. Gabi asks what those are for. Stefan questions if she really has to ask as he wishes her a Happy Anniversary.

Leo asks Chad if he should’ve kept knocking on Everett’s door. Chad says no and tells him not to take it personally since Everett is just focusing on his mental health and probably needs some space. Leo wonders if Everett was released from Bayview prematurely. Chad apologizes for being edgy. Leo says he gets it as he’s always on edge. Leo calls it crazy around here since Xander is out and Jack is in. Leo adds that when he heard one of the old owners was back, it made him wonder if Gwen was on her way back too. Leo acknowledges that Gwen hated him in the end, but she was the best friend he ever had and he threw it all away. Leo then realizes that today is Gwen’s anniversary.

Gabi apologizes to Stefan for forgetting their anniversary with Rafe’s stabbing and everything going on with Gabi Chic. Stefan questions how she could forget when they got married twice on this day. Gaib says she’d rather forget the disastrous double wedding with Dimitri and Gwen, but she still blanked. Stefan tells her it’s okay and he just thought maybe she would be expecting something, so he wanted her to be surprised. Gabi tells him that she was and this was so sweet. Gabi thanks him as they kiss. Stefan then tells her that’s not her only surprise as they are only just beginning.

Leo can’t believe it’s been a year since Gwen and Dimitri had the double wedding with Gabi and Stefan. Leo points out that Gwen and Dimitri never even got divorced. Leo complains about how he threw away his entire friendship with Gwen for Dimitri, who unceremoniously dumped him in a letter that didn’t even make any sense. Leo talks about Dimitri meeting a guy in prison and wonders if it’s even true. Chad asks if he thinks he was making it up. Leo says maybe Dimitri didn’t want him to know that he’s going back to Gwen and reclaim his inheritance. Chad thinks that’s all a stretch. Leo asks if Chad has heard from Dimitri since he’s his nephew. Chad responds that he hasn’t and probably never will. Chad asks if it would be less upsetting if Dimitri went back to Gwen rather than ending up with another man. Leo thinks it would be more upsetting if he went back to Gwen because he’d be worried that Dimitri would break her heart all over again. Chad doesn’t think coming up with crazy ideas is doing any good. Leo guesses he just misses them both a lot and wishes things turned out differently.

Stephanie tells Jada that Bobby not being Everett is why he was so cold to her. They talk about Bobby saying he knows who stabbed Li and Rafe. Jada says every time she asks for a name, he has a convenient excuse. Jada says she doesn’t think Bobby is really sick so Stephanie asks why she let him leave. Jada responds that she had no choice since there wasn’t enough evidence to hold him. Stephanie brings up Bobby admitting to lying to get out of Bayview but Jada says that’s not a crime. Stephanie worries that now that Bobby knows they are onto him, he could be packing his bags to skip town. Jada admits he could be but there’s no legal means to stop him, so her hands are tied. Stephanie declares that she doesn’t have to follow police procedures so she’s heading over there right now and rushes out of the room. Jada then hurries out after her.

Bobby crawls in to his bed in pain. Bobby then finds the bottle of Digoxin pills on his nightstand.

Kristen thinks Ava is being paranoid about the whole Stefan situation and advises her to stop bringing it up in public places because you never know who might be listening. Connie then arrives with two coffees. Kristen questions who she is. Connie introduces herself as Gabi’s new executive assistant. Ava notes that Gabi did mention hiring an assistant and introduces herself. Connie asks where Gabi is. Ava says that she’s not in at the moment. Connie says that Gabi told her to be there at 10 AM sharp and she brought her a latte with extra foam which Kristen takes instead. Kristen takes a drink and then says it’s awful, questioning what Connie put in it. Connie then thinks back to spiking Bobby’s coffee with the Digoxin pills. Connie tells Kristen that she didn’t put anything in her drink.

Bobby remains struggling on his bed and thinks back to Connie showing up at his door, realizing that she caused this. Bobby weakly pulls out his phone and tries to dial 911.

Chad tells Leo that he can’t stare in the rearview mirror for too long as he has to look forward. Leo says he’s trying and apologizes for laying this all on him. Chad says it’s fine and that he hopes good things happen for Leo. Chad encourages that Leo has a lot going for him. Leo tells him not to hold back. Chad tells Leo that he’s smart, funny and he at least tries to be a better person. Leo remarks that he rarely succeeds but thanks Chad, saying it means a lot. Chad tells Leo that it’s okay to feel lonely because moving on from the love of your life is sometimes impossible. Leo tells Chad that he knows what’s going on with Abigail and assumes there hasn’t been any updates. Chad says not yet. Leo hopes that Chad doesn’t ever have to move on.

Gabi asks Stefan about another surprise. Stefan says he even surprised himself a little bit as he wrote Gabi a poem which he started while they were apart and finished it last night in hopes that he could recite it to her on their anniversary. Stefan intends to put it to music one day and send it to her. Stefan then recites his poem to Gabi which she calls beautiful as they hug. They wish each other a Happy Anniversary as they kiss.

Kristen asks Connie to bring her some sweetener for the coffee. Connie argues that she works for Gabi. Kristen tells Connie that Gabi works for her and tells her to hurry up as Ava directs her to the break room. After Connie leaves, Ava worries about if she heard them talking about Stefan. Kristen says they are just lucky she didn’t come in a minute sooner. Ava then gets a text from Gabi, informing her that she’s not coming back as she’s taking the rest of the day off because her and Stefan are celebrating their anniversary. Kristen guesses Ava has nothing to worry about then. Ava agrees that she just needs to chill out. Connie returns with sweetener for Kristen. Kristen mentions a scheduled meeting. Connie asks where her desk is. Kristen tells her to ask Gabi as she and Ava then exit the office. Connie then decides on an open desk and takes a seat.

Stephanie and Jada go to Bobby’s hotel room at the Salem Inn. Stephanie knocks on the door, calling for Everett. Jada reveals a keycard and says the manager doesn’t need to know that she doesn’t have a warrant. Stephanie hopes they aren’t too late. They enter the room and 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.

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 reveals that she hid outside the door and overheard Ava tell Kristen about her and Stefan sleeping together while Gabi was in prison. Connie then remarks to herself that the perfect ammunition just fell in to her lap.

Gabi tells Stefan that his poem was so beautiful. Stefan credits her for inspiring him and says he falls more in love with her every day. Stefan pours them glasses of champagne and toasts to the year ahead which Gabi says will be the best one yet and then they kiss.

Leo sits alone in the town square and calls Gwen. Leo is shocked that she actually answered and says he was just thinking about her as today is her anniversary. Gwen tells him to go screw himself and hangs up. Leo remarks that Chad was right that he should’ve just left well enough alone.

Jack returns to the Spectator office and informs Chad that he’s got their enhanced video on a flash drive.
