At the police station, JJ looked at Gabi’s file. Shawn showed up and asked how things went with Gabi. JJ said it went badly, but she didn’t deny shooting EJ. He said she didn’t have an alibi, lied about leaving the house, and then gave a weak excuse. While they were talking, Shawn got an alert from the tip line and left to check it out. Melinda went in Gabi’s office to get her things. Gabi said she might need her services because JJ accused her of shooting EJ. Melinda wondered why JJ would excuse her of shooting EJ. When Gabi said she didn’t know, Melinda said she had a motive. Since Melinda was her lawyer, she didn’t want Gabi to tell her if she shot EJ. They talked about Philip and Xander. Melinda said she was impressed with what they did. Gabi said things were going to come crashing down for them. Melinda warned Gabi not to talk to JJ. Later on, she went to the police station to let JJ know she was representing Gabi. She warned him not to talk to Gabi unless she was there. Shawn showed up with a gun in a bag and asked if it belonged to Melinda. He said it was found in the garbage. Melinda admitted that it was her gun, but she didn’t throw it out. She said she gave the gun to Ava because she needed protection from Kristen and her mother. When Melinda was about to leave, JJ stopped her so he could arrest her.
Sami went to see Rafe so she could tell him goodbye. She said she did what she came home to do. Rafe said he was happy for her but sad to see her leave. She said she would leave before she caused trouble. He told her that Jada said she didn’t sleep with Shawn again. Sami didn’t understand why Jada was upset until he told her he confessed to sleeping with her. She was surprised that he told her the truth but thought they were even. Rafe said he was going to give Jada space. Sami suggested that he do an apology video, but he didn’t want to do it. She told him to take time to think about what he wants and what he will do to get it. Rafe thanked her for the advice. Sami said she was grateful that he helped her get through the stressful trip. They hugged and said goodbye. Vivian and Philip ran into each other at the town square. She said she told Xander the truth. Vivian told him that she called the shots. Philip said he wouldn’t have the money to give her now that the secret was out. Vivian said self respect was more important than money. She said his life was over. Philip yelled at her before he walked off. When Vivian was making plans with Ivan to leave Salem, she ran into Gabi. She warned Vivian that she would regret it if she tried something. Vivian said Gabi paid for what she did to her. She said her son came to his senses and didn’t give her a second thought before she walked away from Gabi. Xander told Sarah that Philip lied to him. While Xander was talking to Sarah, Philip walked in. Xander said Vivian told him everything. Philip said he wasn’t going to deny it. He told Xander that Vivian told him the truth. Philip said it was Vivian’s idea to do it. He said she gave him something after he lost everything. Philip said he convinced himself that it was what Victor would have wanted. Xander yelled at him and wanted to know who else was involved. Philip said no one else was involved. Xander told him that he stole the company that he wouldn’t have shared if it wasn’t for Sarah. He said it meant a lot to him that they came together and as family. Xander said he felt like he belonged. Philip said he did belong in the family. Xander said Philip wasn’t his brother and demanded that he get out of the house. Philip said he would leave but wanted to say something. He said he liked working with Xander and never laughed at him. Before he left, Philip apologized. Melinda told Shawn and JJ that it wasn’t a crime to have a gun. They told her that Ava was convicted not too long ago and her right to carry a gun was suspended. Melinda said she didn’t know that. She agreed to cooperate with them and wondered if she was going to get arrested. They let her know that she wasn’t, but they would keep an eye on her.
