Belle talked to Marlena about Johnny’s case. She told her important evidence came up. Belle said if Johnny was innocent it might lead to the real shooter. She said the last thing she wanted to do was prosecute Johnny. Marlena wondered how it would go. Belle said she and EJ wanted Johnny to be found not guilty. She hoped the case didn’t go to trial. Marlena admitted to Belle that she hadn’t been sleeping because her grief hasn’t stopped even though everyone has moved on. Belle said she wasn’t alone because she was there. When Marlena tried standing up and was unsteady, Belle asked if there was something going on that she wasn’t telling her. Gwen ripped into Leo for what he did to her. While she was talking, Leo noticed the necklace she was wearing. He tried to talk her into giving Julie back the necklace, but she didn’t want to listen to him after what he did to her. Gwen said she hated him and threatened to make him pay for betraying her. Leo apologized to her and said he paid for what he did. Gwen enjoyed the idea of Dimitri breaking up with him. She said Dimitri refused to divorce her which was okay with her because she got his money. Leo said he didn’t need money because he had love in his life. Javi didn’t understand what was going on. Gwen told Javi that he didn’t know what he got himself into. When Gwen left, Javi asked Leo what she was talking about. Leo told him what happened. Javi tried to process what Leo did. Leo said he wouldn’t forgive himself for what he did to Gwen. He thought Gwen was right about him needing to pay for what he did, even if he lost Javi. Javi told him that people did things they regretted. While they were talking, Javi said he could see them as a family, but Leo didn’t think he would make a good father after having horrible parents.
