Daytime Soap Opera Short Recaps
Recap written by Michele and Cheryl
Philip was on the phone with Melinda. He let her know that he and Xander agreed on her termination. Maggie came in the room and wanted to congratulate him on working with the company. Before he could warn her, Vivian walked in the room. She demanded breakfast. Maggie thought she broke out of prison. Philip told her that Vivian was on parole. Maggie was going to check on Holly and demanded that Vivian be gone when she got back downstairs. After Maggie went upstairs, Vivian gave Philip a warning. If she was out, he was going to be too. She wouldn’t destroy his life as long as she got what she was owed with interest. Philip let her know that she would get her money, but he and Kate weren’t going to kill Xander. Vivian planned to destroy everything. He warned her that she would lose out too and would go back to prison for forgery. Philip said he would pay her, but she had to be patient. She had trouble being patient. He said he would buy her a mansion once he had the money. Vivian couldn’t believe he was throwing her out. She decided to stay at the Salem Inn. Kristen pulled her gun on Xander and told him about poking the bear. She couldn’t believe her former henchman turned on her. Xander had one chance to live. He had to tell Mr. Shin to undo the takeover and put her back in charge. Xander reached for the phone, but he refused to do it. He wanted to know if she wanted to risk losing Rachel. Xander said that Rachel had a mother who would do anything for her unlike him. She slowly put the gun down, and he told her to leave before he called the cops. Kristen wanted to negotiate with him by running the company instead of Mr. Shin, but Xander wouldn’t agree to it. He didn’t want to work with her. She was determined to make sure Xander and Philip ended up with nothing. JJ told Gabi that they had to get more suspects now that Kristen has been cleared. He thought she could be a suspect. Gabi was shocked by his admission. She was angry so JJ explained why he thought she shot EJ. Gabi told him that she wouldn’t have gained anything by shooting EJ. JJ thought she wanted to get revenge. Gabi reminded him that she was in prison twice for crimes she didn’t commit. She didn’t want to risk going back to prison. JJ wanted to know her alibi. She told him that she was home. JJ informed her that she wasn’t there when he got there. She wondered if he was calling her a liar, and he admitted that he did think she was lying. He reminded her that he ran into her at the town square. Gabi forgot about that. There was a flash of Gabi at the DiMera mansion with a gun in her hand. She went to the square because she forgot her planner and went back home. JJ told her that the evidence pointed to her, and he hated it. He had to do his job. She had a motive, the opportunity, and the weapon to shoot EJ.
Kate called Lucas and told him that he could come out of hiding because EJ was in a coma. She said that she didn’t shoot him. Sami arrived at the pub and talked to Kate. They joked with each other while they were having coffee. Kate told her that she and Roman felt bad about telling Johnny the truth about his conception. Sami told her that she wasn’t mad about it. She didn’t skip dinner because she was upset. Sami was with Rafe. She went to his place to thank him for talking to Johnny and spent the night with him. Kate thought that it was good that she was with him because Rafe was a good man. She reminded her that Rafe had a fiancee. Sami said it didn’t work out between Rafe and Jada after she slept with Shawn. Kate was shocked that she slept with Shawn. Sami didn’t realize that Kate didn’t know about it. Kate wondered if he found that out before or after EJ was shot. Sami couldn’t believe Kate thought Rafe could have shot EJ. It didn’t matter since Kristen was the prime suspect. Sami hoped it was Kristen because she didn’t like the idea that Johnny could have shot his father. Kate thought Rafe was the one who did it. Rafe met with Jada at Small Bar. He accused her of sleeping with Shawn again. Rafe told her that he saw her blouse on his couch. Jada let him know that he got the wrong idea. She assured him that nothing happened with Shawn. Jada got drunk and crashed on his couch. She begged him to forgive her. Rafe forgave her and became uncomfortable. He wished Shawn told him that instead of finding her blouse. Rafe wished he confronted Shawn instead of leaving. Jada wanted to know what he meant. Rafe told her that Sami stopped by his place and was upset. They ended up in bed together. Jada couldn’t believe what she heard. He apologized for what happened. Everything that happened was a misunderstanding. She reminded him about the misunderstanding that happened when she slept with Shawn. All it took was one shirt for him to think she was a slut. He apologized and begged her to forgive him, but she didn’t want to do it. She told him the truth about Shawn, but he didn’t want to believe her. Jada didn’t know how they could move on from it. She reminded him that he wanted space and now she wanted it too. Sami was shocked to see Kristen at the town square. She told her that she didn’t shoot EJ. Kristen thought Gabi did it. Gabi thought JJ cared about her. She thought she could trust him. JJ let her know that she could trust him. He was trying to be professional. Gabi told him to talk to her lawyer because she was done with him. Philip went to the pub to see his mother. They had to pay Vivian before she ruined everything. He was sure everything would be fine once she got her money. Xander was in his office when Vivian walked into the room.
