Days of Our Lives Update
Update written by Joseph
Gabi remains in her hospital bed, reading a magazine. As she comes across wedding photos, she throws the magazine across the room right as Melinda arrives to check on her. Melinda says she was sure Gabi was gone after the bomb but Gabi says she’s doing okay and due to be released later today. Melinda then admits that she’s not just there to check on her as she has a bit of an ulterior motive.
EJ joins Stefan in the living room of the DiMera Mansion and pours a drink as he mocks him. Stefan questions EJ being so jolly. EJ responds that he’s ecstatic that Brady is getting what he deserves.
Eric sits with Brady in the interrogation rom at the police station. Eric tells Brady about Holly going to see Nicole in Paris, hoping it will remind Holly of how close they’ve always been. Eric mentions that EJ has been trying to poison Holly against Nicole. Brady tells him that EJ was just there to talk about the plea he’s entering in tomorrow. Brady tells Eric that he’s guilty of the crime so that is how he’s going to plea.
In the living room of the Kiriakis Mansion, Victoria cries while Sarah struggles in her wheelchair which Fiona looks in to the room and sees.
Xander finishes a call in the Titan office as Kristen walks in and asks when he’s going to get Brady out of jail. Xander says never.
Gabi asks Melinda what her ulterior motive is. Melinda reveals that she has Gabi Chic paper work for her to sign. Melinda adds that Stefan also asked her to drop off her divorce papers. Melinda mentions that she’s loyal to her job at DiMera which Gabi is a big part of, so if she wants her to turn Stefan down, she can just say the word.
Stefan comments that EJ gets jolly off putting people behind bars and sleeping with his brother’s wife. EJ repeats that Gabi came on to him while Stefan complains that he could’ve turned her down. EJ brings up that Gabi and Stefan are well on their way to a divorce, pointing out that Gabi told him when he saw her last night.
Sarah’s phone rings which she struggles to reach in her wheelchair. Fiona comes in and asks if she’s alright. Sarah complains about being unable to reach Victoria’s toy as she’s crying, so Fiona gets it for her.
Brady tells Eric that EJ offered him a deal of a reduced sentence in exchange for a guilty plea. Brady informs Eric that the sentence is for 10 years. Brady thinks John was hoping Justin could pull off a miracle, but he doesn’t want a slap on the wrist, feeling he needs to pay for what he did.
Kristen questions Xander not getting Brady out of jail, reminding him that the only way Sarah will get out of the wheelchair is if he frees Brady as then she will hand over Dr. Rolf’s miracle serum. Xander calls it an intriguing proposal, but questions why he should believe a word she says.
Stefan questions EJ visiting Gabi in her hospital room last night. EJ says he went to inform her that Rafe warned him to stay away from her, given that they have to co-exist in the same happy household until their divorce goes through. Stefan believes that Gabi wants nothing to do with EJ now that she can’t use him anymore for revenge sex, but suggests he heeds Rafe’s advice and stay the hell away from her. EJ brings up that Gabi mentioned it was Stefan who filed for divorce. EJ questions why he has to stay away from Gabi if the marriage is over and why Stefan cares.
Gabi informs Melinda that Stefan told her that he was going to file for divorce and they both agreed the marriage is over, so it’s time to move forward. Gabi tells Melinda that it’s fine with her if she represents Stefan.
Brady tells Eric that he feels so wrong here with Daniel’s heart beating in his chest, pointing out that he wouldn’t be here if Daniel hadn’t died and it’s like he squandered that gift. Eric disagrees and encourages that Brady still has a future and just has to atone for the things he did. Brady doesn’t feel his guilt will go away anytime soon. Eric says not completely, but he will learn how to live with it.
Sarah doesn’t know what she would’ve done if Fiona hadn’t come in since everyone is out and she told Maggie that she’d be fine on her own with Victoria, but she’s clearly not. Fiona encourages her while Sarah cries that she feels like she’s failing. Fiona talks about the ordeal Sarah has gone through and says she’s so sorry. Sarah questions what she is sorry for. Fiona calls it a tragic mistake that she was with Brady. Sarah says she couldn’t have known that would happen and assures that she and Xander are grateful to her for all the help during this difficult time. Sarah thanks her for keeping quiet about her lying to the police. Fiona understands that her lie saved Brady and Xander. Sarah assures that she would’ve never identified Brady to the police if she had any doubt that he was driving that night, but she wishes she could remember seeing him behind the wheel. Fiona says that what happened saddens her terribly. Sarah notes that Victoria has finally fallen back asleep. Sarah thinks she needs some time alone with her daughter to prove she can do this, so Fiona says she will see her later and exits the room.
Xander asks if Kristen is insane, complaining about Sarah being used as Dr. Rolf’s guinea pig. Kristen thinks she shoul make her own decision but Xander doesn’t want to get her hopes up about a mythical potion that they don’t know if it will work or if it even exists. Kristen assures that Dr. Rolf has been working around the clock and it’s almost ready. Xander questions why he should trust her. Kristen talks about Dr. Rolf being a genius, bringing up the miracles he performed on Marlena, Kayla, and Bo, and how he kept Stefan alive for years without a heart. Xander then asks Kristen to take him to Dr. Rolf’s lab to show him the proof. Kristen worries that Xander will try to have his thugs steal the drug without giving her what she deserves so she declines. Kristen offers to show him clinical data so that Sarah can look it over, but says Xander has to make the charges against Brady disappear. Xander asks how to do that. Kristen argues that Brady was free until Sarah’s bogus claims, so she will have to recant or else she’ll never walk again and it will be Xander’s fault.
Stefan tells EJ that he and Gabi might be through, but he still cares about her and he won’t have her yoked to an ass like him. EJ remarks that it’s not his jurisdiction anymore. EJ adds that they all have to live together somehow, until Gabi takes the home from him and some of his other assets which Stefan says won’t happen. EJ points out that divorces can get nasty. Stefan states that he and Gabi talked and they agreed that it’s been enough. Stefan adds that he wouldn’t be surprised if Gabi never shows up in this house again, but is then surprised when Gabi comes home.
Eric sits with Roman at the Brady Pub and tells him about Brady getting 10 years in prison but Eric is convinced there is more to it.
Xander goes home and questions Sarah crying. Sarah explains that Victoria threw her toy and she couldn’t reach it, but thankfully Fiona came in. Xander says he’s so sorry. Sarah cries that she hates it and felt so helpless, like she couldn’t be a mother to her own daughter. Sarah says she shouldn’t have let herself get so upset over a toy, arguing that plenty of parents raise children with disabilities. Sarah calls it a fact of life for her now that she is disabled and there is nothing she can do about it. Xander responds that it’s not necessarily true.
Fiona goes to see Brady in the interrogation room. Brady thought last time he saw her was goodbye so he didn’t expect to see her. Fiona responds that things are different now as last time, she thought he was going to be a free man but it looks like he’s going for a lengthy stay in prison. Brady questions how that changes anything. Fiona declares that she has a confession to make.
EJ laughs at Stefan saying Gabi would never enter the house again and points out that he was once again colossally wrong. Gabi says she was discharged and took a taxi. EJ says she should’ve called and he would’ve picked her up. Gabi knows he has a busy schedule. EJ admits he’s late for a meeting, so he exits the room. Stefan asks Gabi how she is. Gabi says she’s hanging in, but admits she was a little thrown by her last visitor being Melinda, who told her that he hired her. Stefan states that he needed a lawyer. Gabi calls it unusual to hire corporate counsel as a family attorney. Stefan explains that he wanted someone in his corner that he could trust which Gabi questions. Gabi guesses it helps that Melinda had a crush on him, so she’ll make sure that she doesn’t take him for everything he’s worth. Stefan asks if that’s still what she plans on doing.
Sarah questions Xander telling her about a serum from Dr. Rolf. Xander knows it sounds risky but explains that Kristen gave him the data on this drug which Sarah laughs off. Xander insists that it seems like the real deal and she can go over the data herself. Sarah questions why Kristen is willing to help them this way. Xander admits there is one catch as Kristen won’t give them the serum unless she disavows her positive identification of Brady. Xander says he’s sorry as he knows he’s the reason she lied to the police in the first place, but points out that it would be worth it to be able to walk and run again and play with Victoria. Sarah decides she needs to think about it, but Xander points out it’s a limited time offer since Brady’s plea hearing is tomorrow. Xander says he can call EJ over to take her statement if she says the word.
Roman knows Eric wants to believe by some miracle that Brady isn’t responsible for Sarah’s accident. Eric insists that something just isn’t adding up, like Sarah suddenly remembering seeing Brady at the wheel even though hypnosis couldn’t break through her mental block. Eric says that Marlena felt that would be exceedingly rare without a triggering moment. Eric adds that when Jada came to arrest Brady, Xander was there so he must have broken in. Eric states that Brady was adamant that he had not been drinking, so he’s thinking he must have been drugged. Eric insists that the whole story seems off somehow which Roman agree with. Eric then brings up seeing Sarah talking to Fiona in the park and he overheard them talking about a secret. Eric mentions Fiona being in a relationship with Brady which Roman had no idea of. Eric says it was brief and been over for a while now, but wonders if it’s possible that Fiona is somehow connected to the accident. Eric thinks Fiona was with Brady that night and that’s the secret they were keeping. Roman suggests asking Brady but Eric says he doesn’t remember a lot about that night, so he has another idea.
Brady questions Fiona’s confession. Fiona says when she first came to Salem, she told Xander that she was sober as that was the only way he’d accept her back in his life and it’s the only reason that she got to know Victoria and Sarah which brought her so much joy. Fiona adds that watching Sarah suffer has made her realize she can’t keep doing this, but Kristen walks in and questions who the hell she is and what she’s doing here.
Gabi tells Stefan that she’s well within her rights to take as much as the DiMera fortune as she can get, but more than anything she just wants this to be over with as like Stefan said, there’s nothing left to fight for. Stefan asks what Gabi is doing here then. Gabi responds that she didn’t come to see him and if she knew he was there, she would’ve waited. Gabi reveals she came to collect her things. Stefan questions if she’s moving out. Gabi confirms she is for good. Gabi says to give her a few minutes and then she’ll be out of his hair as she then exits the room.
EJ goes to the Kiriakis Mansion and tells Xander that this better be good as he was supposed to be in a meeting ten minutes ago. Xander says it’s important and about Brady’s case. EJ says he wanted to talk to him about that too since he and Brady worked out a plea deal for 10 years. EJ says he knows they wanted more but this at least guarantees Brady will be locked up in prison where he belongs. Xander responds that he wouldn’t be too sure about that.
Brady introduces Kristen to Xander’s mother, Fiona Cook. Kristen recalls seeing Fiona’s picture in the paper and questions what she is doing here. Fiona claims that she was just telling Brady how trying it’s been to watch Sarah suffer because of him and she’s glad he’s going to pay. Fiona says goodbye to Brady and storms out. Kristen questions the nerve of Fiona to come in and say those horrible things to him. Brady tells Kristen that she shouldn’t be here either. Kristen informs Brady that he will be getting out soon.
Eric goes to the bar and shows the waiter a picture of Brady, asking if he remembers him. The waiter admits it’s hard to forget that face since he was getting hammered one night and looking for a fight. He adds that it was the night that Brady went out and ran over that poor doctor. Eric questions why he didn’t stop him from leaving if he was so intoxicated. The waiter reveals that the lady said she had it under control, so Eric questions which lady.
Gabi returns with her things. Stefan argues that it can’t be everything. Gabi says she asked Harold to send the rest. Stefan asks if she’s going to stay with Rafe. Gabi says if his lawyer needs to get in touch, she’ll see her at work. Stefan says that isn’t why he was asking and he was just wondering. Stefan thought they said their last goodbye yesterday. Gabi admits she did too as she holds back tears. Gabi tells Stefan not to worry as this will be the last time as she then exits.
Brady tells Kristen not to do whatever she’s thinking about doing. Brady knows she wants to help but he’s pleading guilty tomorrow and going to prison. Kristen tells him it won’t get that far. Kristen remarks that Sarah will be on her knees thanking her when this is all done. Brady questions why she would do that. Kristen says he’ll see and exits the room.
EJ questions Xander saying Brady might not be going to prison. Xander assures they still want to see him punished for his crimes, but Sarah is no longer confident in the statement she gave to the police. EJ questions Sarah, who confirms that she’s not sure it was Brady driving that night. EJ argues that she seemed pretty sure when she told Jada it was definitely Brady. Sarah says now that she’s had time to think about it, the image isn’t very clear and says maybe she dreamed it because she wanted to believe it. Xander talks about Sarah taking pain medications and muscle relaxers which could affect her thinking. EJ questions what exactly they are both saying. Sarah declares that she would like to recant her statement which EJ refuses.
Eric shows the waiter a picture of Fiona and asks if that’s the woman who was with Brady that night. He confirms that she was and that they left together. Fiona then arrives at the bar.
