Days of Our Lives Update
Update written by Joseph
Ava is at the Bistro, reading the Spectator article on her tablet about Fiona being the hit and run driver. Sophia arrives and greets her. Ava points out that she’s late. Sophia questions three minutes being a big deal when they don’t open for dinner for another hour. Ava remarks that she’s still late but she will let it slide this time. Sophia thanks her and asks what she is reading. Ava says it’s just the latest Salem news. Sophia guesses it’s about Brady. Ava is surprised that she’s already heard. Sophia informs her that Tate told her and remarks that they are pretty close.
Aaron finds Tate at school and excitedly tells him that he heard the good news about his dad and he’s happy for him. Tate says he was just texting his grandpa to find out if Brady has been released yet. Aaron asks what this means for Tate and Holly since she went after his dad pretty hard. Tate informs him that there is no more he and Holly as they broke up.
JJ pours champagne to make a toast to Chad and “Abigail”. JJ admits he was nervous about seeing “Abigail”, especially after how Jennifer reacted, but now he’s sorry for not reaching out sooner, even if on video chat or the phone. Holly then remembers “Abigail” claiming that she was on the phone with JJ when she first ran in to her, so she questions what JJ means as she believed they just talked on the phone last night.
Kayla goes to the Brady Pub and tells Roman that she’s trying to get Chad on the phone but he’s not picking up or answering her texts. Roman asks why they are in Paris. Kayla explains that it was “Abigail’s” idea in hopes that it would jog her memory. Roman recalls they used to live there. Kayla complains that they are about to get married there again. Roman questions that not being a good thing. Kayla responds that it’s a terrible thing.
Mark arrives in Paris and calls Clyde, arguing that there has to be some other way. Mark assures that he doesn’t have to remind him why he’s doing this, but asks Clyde what the plan is for how he is supposed to murder Chad.
JJ questions what Holly is talking about. Holly informs when she ran in to “Abigail” at the café, she was on the phone with him but JJ reveals that she wasn’t.
Mark tells Clyde that he knows what’s at stake and asks what the plan is. Clyde informs Mark of a package underneath a table at the café which Mark retrieves. He opens it and there’s a gun inside. Mark tells Clyde that he just needs to make sure that Chad and “Abigail” are now married and hangs up.
“Abigail” reminds JJ that he was in the middle of a toast and says she’d like to hear the rest of it as she doesn’t think Holly meant to interrupt. Chad stops them and says he’s a little confused as he asks Holly about “Abigail” saying she was on the phone with her brother. Holly confirms that’s what she said while promising that she wasn’t eavesdropping. Holly says that “Abigail” said she was on the phone with JJ and talking about her mother, but guesses that she misunderstood which “Abigail” says that she did.
Roman questions if Kayla is worried that Chad and “Abigail” are rushing things. Kayla continues to complain about Chad not answering his phone. Roman notes Kayla’s hand shaking and questions what is going on and what she needs to tell Chad. Kayla then reveals that Chad is about to marry a woman who is not Abigail.
Aaron questions Tate about he and Holly breaking up. Tate explains that they had a huge fight about his dad. Aaron says he’s sorry. Tate then informs Aaron that Holly slapped Sophia across the face which shocks him. Tate says they were arguing in the town square and just as he walked up, Holly attacked Sophia because Sophia called her out for sneaking in to Brady’s room to try and find evidence to give EJ. Tate comments on Holly being angry at Nicole and the rest of the world. Aaron doesn’t understand why Holly would go all WWE on Sophia. Tate adds that Sophia also told her that she likes him as more than a friend. Aaron still doesn’t understand since they already knew that. Tate guesses he’s right and says he’s sorry since he knows Aaron was in to Sophia. Aaron says it’s okay and he’s over it as he knows that Tate is the one Sophia was in to. Aaron then asks if now that Tate and Holly have broken up, could Tate and Sophia end up getting together?
Ava calls it unbelievable that Fiona stood by and let Brady take the fall for paralyzing Sarah. Sophia says not to her as she waited on Fiona once and she turned out to be a real bitch after she joked about how much she loved her martinis. Sophia admits before that, they had girl talk and she was a good listener but now she regrets confiding in her. Ava points out that Fiona won’t be coming around anymore while Sophia remarks that she’s back to having no one to talk to.
Holly decides she should let Chad, “Abigail” and JJ celebrate as a family. Holly thanks them for letting her be a part of this. Chad tries to tell her that she doesn’t have to leave but Holly says they should all be together. Chad thanks Holly for coming as she exits. Chad then asks if “Abigail” wants to explain why she told Holly that she was on the phone with JJ. “Abigail” claims she had a really emotional day and wasn’t thinking straight. Chad argues that’s not an explanation. She asks him not to look at her like that and says she was rattled and is pretty sure Holly was eavesdropping on her private conversation. Chad complains that she said she was talking to JJ and he’s pretty sure JJ would remember that, so he questions who “Abigail” was talking to if it wasn’t JJ and why the hell she’s lying about it.
Roman questions Kayla saying the woman is not Abigail as he thought she ran a DNA test to confirm it. Kayla explains that Steve wasn’t buying it and it turned out the DNA test was wrong because somebody tampered with it. Roman questions who would do that. Kayla reveals it was someone on her staff that she thought she could trust.
Mark assures Clyde that he will do what he asked of him. Holly then runs in to Mark at the café, so he puts his gun away and hangs up. Holly calls it so weird to run in to him here. Mark asks what she is doing in Paris.
Ava questions Sophia about Fiona being her only confidant and not having friends her own age to talk to. Sophia says that for a while, she had Holly Jonas but their friendship blew up. Ava guesses that it was over a boy. Sophia confirms it was Tate, explaining that she liked him first but Holly broke girl code and didn’t have the decency to tell her that she wanted Tate for herself. Ava agrees that it’s breaking girl code. Sophia explains how Holly went behind her back and came up with a scheme to try and get her to hook up with Aaron while she ran off with Tate at the prom. Ava says it sounds shady. Sophia says that Tate’s a great guy while he and Holly were so wrong for each other. Ava asks if Sophia and Tate are together now. Sophia says not yet, noting that she told him that she likes him but he and Holly just broke up. Sophia adds that Holly wasn’t nice and did terrible things to him, but she’s also part of the reason they aren’t together anymore and she thinks Tate might still be hung up on Holly. Sophia tells Ava that she feels like the other woman as even though they broke up, Holly is still on Tate’s mind so she doesn’t want to push too hard for now. Ava says she gets it. Sophia says it sounds like she’s been there and asks if she knows what it’s like to be the other woman.
Tate informs Aaron that Sophia kissed him, but he had to tell her the truth that he’s not over Holly. Aaron says it makes sense to take a while since they went through a lot together. Aaron asks if Tate can see himself with Sophia in the future. Tate says he doesn’t know. Aaron asks if he’s attracted to her. Tate admits she’s really hot and has been there for him through everything with his dad. Aaron questions what’s stopping him then or if he still thinks he’s going to get back together with Holly.
Holly reminds Mark that her mom lives in Paris so she was visiting her and asks what brings him to the city of light. Mark responds that it’s something not so light, claiming he had business to take care of with his parents’ estate after they died in an accident. Holly notes that Aaron told her about it and she’s sorry for his loss. Mark says he would love to stay and chat but there is some place he has to be. Holly calls it crazy to see another person from Salem in Paris. Mark asks what she means and who else from Salem she saw in Paris. Holly tells him that it was Abigail DiMera.
Kayla explains to Roman how Steve gave Mark samples of DNA from he and Kayla that he said were from Abigail and Thomas, then Mark said they were a match for mother and son. Roman questions why he would go to such lengths to lie to Abigail’s family. Kayla doesn’t know but says he’s obviously in cahoots with the fake Abigail. Kayla adds that she tried to confront him over all of this but he has disappeared.
Mark claims to Holly that he hasn’t met Abigail but he heard about her return. Mark questions her being in Paris now too. Holly informs him that she just came from her wedding ceremony with Chad and they just finished their vows. Mark calls that great news and says he’s so happy for them.
Chad demands an answer as to why “Abigail” lied about talking to JJ. She asks if they can talk about this alone, so Chad asks JJ to give them a minute. JJ then steps out and exits the apartment. Chad questions what “Abigail” is hiding and why she lied. She responds that she will tell him everything.
Sophia sits with Ava and asks about her having been the other woman. Ava responds that she just knows what it’s like when people want to sew a scarlet letter to her blouse and she just has to not let it get to her. Ava advises Sophia that if she starts letting everyone else get to her, she’ll start second guessing her every move. Ava encourages that if she likes Tate, she would go for it and fight for him. Ava calls her a smart and beautiful woman, telling her to own who she is. Sophia says she likes the sound of that.
Tate tells Aaron that he doesn’t see how he and Holly can work past their problems since she totally betrayed him multiple times. Tate admits the first time was the worst when she let him take the fall for the drugs she overdosed on and now she lied about wanting to come over so she could dig up dirt on his dad. Aaron says he gets it and it sounds like they are really done. Tate guesses that they are. Aaron questions what’s stopping him with Sophia then and what he’s waiting on.
Mark tells Holly that he doesn’t know the DiMeras well but he’s happy for Chad and “Abigail”. Holly responds that she hopes it all works out. Mark asks if there’s some reason it wouldn’t. Holly admits things got a little weird before she left which Mark questions. Holly says there were miscommunication issues with Abigail’s brother which Mark asks about. Holly informs him that JJ showed up as a surprise. Holly decides she shouldn’t be talking about this and repeats that she just hopes it all works out. Mark says he hopes so too and now he really needs to get going. Holly says she’ll see him back in Salem as Mark then walks away. JJ appears and joins Holly, asking who that guy was.
Roman is glad that Kayla didn’t find and confront Mark since his gut tells him that he’s dangerous. Kayla points out that tampering with DNA tests is criminal and cruel to make them all believe Abigail was alive. Kayla asks how she could be so wrong about a person, arguing that Mark is a good doctor so she really believed he was a good guy. Roman says he obviously fooled a lot of people but now she needs to let the police handle it. Kayla assures that she called Jada and told her everything. Roman says they will just have to hope the police find Mark and convict him for perpetrating a fraud.
Chad demands that “Abigail” talk. She starts to explain but they are interrupted by a knock at the door. Chad answers the door to see Mark and asks if he can help him. Mark introduces himself and says he just ran in to Holly, who goes to school with his brother Aaron and she said they just got married and also that Abigail’s brother was there. Chad informs him that JJ just left and says they are in the middle of a conversation so he asks what Mark wants. Mark says he just wanted to say congratulations. Chad asks why when he doesn’t even know them. Chad then remembers finding “Abigail” talking to Mark in the park and she said she was asking him for directions. Chad then realizes he does know him.
Sophia thanks Ava for the pep talk and says now she’s so motivated to make things happen with Tate and own who she is. Ava says right now she needs her to be one of her servers and gets the tables set for dinner.
Tate questions if Aaron would not have a problem with him being with Sophia. Aaron asks why he would. Tate points out that Aaron was in to her. Aaron says he got friend zoned and assures that it’s no problem as he encourages Tate to go for it. Tate thanks him and invites him over to play video games but Aaron says he has to watch his sister tonight, mentioning that his brother is out of town on something to do with their parents estate, so they call a rain check on it.
Kayla tells Roman that Jennifer was right all along as her mother’s intuition told her that woman was not Abigail, so they all should’ve listened to her. Roman agrees that Jennifer would be vindicated but talks about Jack will be crushed as he really believed it was his daughter. Kayla says her heart breaks for them and Chad. Kayla prays that Chad hasn’t married her yet. Roman talks about Chad thinking he got the love of his life back. Kayla calls it an egregious lie and says they should’ve known better than to believe Clyde Weston since this is all his doing.
Holly tells JJ that Mark was just some guy she knows from Salem and she goes to school with his brother. JJ questions what he’s doing in Paris. Holly says it’s something do with his late parents estate but calls it such a coincidence to run in to “Abigail” and then Mark in the same café. JJ agrees that it’s wild. Holly asks if everything is okay with “Abigail” and Chad. JJ says not really as he can’t imagine why she would’ve lied about talking to him. Holly feels bad about saying anything as she ruined their wedding reception. JJ says he’s glad she did since something is definitely off here. JJ adds that Chad is talking to “Abigail” now in private, so hopefully he can get to the bottom of it.
Chad remembers seeing Mark and “Abigail” together in the park when she said she was lost and asking him for directions. Chad questions if they know each other. “Abigail” admits that she does and that he was the one that she was talking to on the phone when she said it was JJ, but she doesn’t know why he’s here. She questions why Mark is in Paris. Chad demands someone tell him what the hell is going on here. Mark responds that he’s sorry but he had no choice as he pulls his gun out on Chad.
Tate goes to the Bistro to see Sophia. She asks if there’s any news about when his dad is getting released. Tate says not yet. Sophia asks what he wanted to talk about. Tate says it’s about them which she questions. Tate wondered if maybe she wanted to hang out after work. Sophia says she’d love that. Tate says he’ll pick her up after her shift at 9. They agree to see each other then as Tate then exits. Ava watches on with a smile seeing Sophia happy.
JJ tells Holly that he can’t think of a reason why his sister would’ve lied about this, unless she really isn’t his sister. Holly questions why he would think that, bringing up that there was DNA proof that she is. JJ responds that he was a cop long enough to know that DNA tests can be messed with. JJ says he keeps going back to what Jennifer told him about how she didn’t feel it in her heart that it was her daughter. Holly says that must have been hard for them. JJ wonders if Jennifer was right all along that the woman isn’t her daughter or his sister and what if Holly catching her in a lie just helped them prove it.
“Abigail” questions what Mark is doing and yells at him to put the gun down. Mark repeats that he’s sorry but he said there was no other way. Chad questions who told Mark to kill him.
Kayla complains that she still can’t get Chad on the phone but at least Steve will be there soon, revealing that Steve left for Paris this morning to try and stop Chad from marrying that impostor. Roman hopes Steve gets there in time.
Mark explains that now that “Abigail” married Chad, Clyde wants him dead. “Abigail” stands in his way, refusing to let Mark do it and says he’ll have to shoot her first. Mark holds the gun but Steve appears and knocks Mark out from behind. Chad is shocked to see Steve and questions what’s going on. Steve then declares that this woman is not Abigail.
