Daytime Soap Opera Short Recaps
Recap written by Michele and Cheryl
While Rafe was tied up in the wine cellar, his phone rang. It was Jada. Rafe answered the phone with his foot, but had trouble talking because his mouth was gagged. Belle called EJ, but he didn’t want to talk to her since she stole his job. She said she didn’t go after the job. Jada asked her to take it. EJ thought it was Jada and Paulina’s fault that he lost his job. Belle told him to forget about getting revenge and accept what happened to him. He asked Belle what he could do to Jada or Paulina. When EJ went down to the wine cellar, he noticed that Rafe’s phone was on and ended the call. EJ gave Rafe his breakfast and blamed Arnold for why this was happening. He untied the gag around Rafe’s mouth. Rafe yelled out for help. EJ wondered if Rafe was finished and said he didn’t mean for this to happen. He said it was Rafe’s fault for coming back to the mansion after he told him to leave. Rafe asked if he was blaming him. He said Jada was looking for him, but EJ said she wasn’t. Rafe realized Arnold took his place again. EJ told him that Arnold kissed Jada, but he hid Arnold away until he could figure out what to do. Rafe said he didn’t have many options because he couldn’t keep him hidden forever. When EJ didn’t care about what he said, Rafe offered him a deal. They could work together to take Arnold down. Rafe said he wouldn’t turn EJ in or say anything about what he did. EJ thought Arnold would say something and when that happened, Rafe wouldn’t be able to stop Jada from coming after him. EJ said he would fix it himself and denied his offer. He said Rafe had to stay in the cellar. Belle told Marlena that she was the new D.A. Marlena was happy that she would be staying in town. Belle said things were uncomfortable with EJ, but she wouldn’t be seeing him unlike Shawn. She said she was concerned about working with Shawn. Shawn showed up and told her she should look into cases that EJ didn’t want to prosecute. Belle said she would do what it takes to make the charges stick. Shawn said he trusted her before he left.
Marlena told Belle that she was proud of the way she handled things with Shawn. She told Belle that she was going to do a good job as D.A. as long as she stayed away from EJ. They talked about Belle and EJ’s affair. Belle said it wasn’t going to happen again. Chanel saw Joy in the town square and confronted her. She asked how Joy could live with herself. Joy said nothing happened between her and Johnny because he stopped it. She wondered if Chanel could forgive Johnny and said she cared about them. Joy said everything happened because of a misunderstanding. Chanel said Johnny started it by not trusting her (Chanel) and then went to bed with her (Joy). She asked why Joy didn’t say anything in the beginning after everything she did for her. Joy said she didn’t ask her to look out for her. She ended up thanking Chanel for what she did for her. Chanel didn’t care about what Joy had to say because she lied to her to protect her job. Joy said she was wrong and that she didn’t want to make an impression of being a homewrecker. Chanel said she did stupid things but thought Joy was her friend. She said even if Joy didn’t know who she was, she knew Johnny was married and she didn’t care. Joy agreed that Chanel was right and wished she took EJ’s offer to leave town. Chanel was upset and said Joy wasn’t a good person. She told Joy to take the money and pretend it didn’t happen. Chanel walked away from Joy. While Johnny was at the Body and Soul office, Leo showed up telling him that Lady Whistleblower inspired him to write new material that wouldn’t get spoiled. When Leo presented his idea about Regan and Faith, Johnny said they wouldn’t do it because of him. Johnny told Leo what happened. Leo said it wasn’t cheating since he didn’t do anything. Johnny said it didn’t matter since he made the accusation first and then lied to Chanel. Leo said he made an accusation against Javi and Lady Whistleblower. Johnny said he didn’t have faith that things will work out between him and Chanel. Leo said he would keep Chanel and Joy away from each other as much as possible and left the office. Chanel showed up at the office to tell Johnny that she quit. EJ listened to Rafe’s voicemail and sent a text to Jada saying he was busy and would be in touch soon. He thought that text would keep Jada quiet. When Shawn went to the police station, Jada got the text from “Rafe.” She told Shawn she didn’t think the text was from Rafe.
