Daytime Soap Opera Short Recaps
Recap written by Michele and Cheryl
Javi told Leo that there was a note at the fire station from Tesoro’s mother. She wanted her son to know that she loved him. Letting him go was the hardest thing she had to do. Javi and Leo talked about giving Tesoro a loving home. Leo thought Javi was a natural at being a father. Javi looked away subtly. Leo didn’t notice the look on Javi’s face. Sophia let Melinda know that Tate was pressuring her about wanting to see the baby. Amy interrupted her conversation to tell Sophia that she wanted to rebuild their relationship. She misses how close they used to be. Sophia liked the idea of them getting close again, but she didn’t know what she went through. Amy wanted her daughter to talk to her, their pastor or a therapist. She also suggested that she see Sarah to talk about her postpartum depression. Sophia didn’t want to see her. She assured her mother that she was okay. Javi arrived at the square with Tesoro. Amy recognized the baby as the one Leo had at the courthouse. She was shocked to find out the baby had two foster dads. Javi told her that he had three fathers. He said that having a house full of people who loved him was all he needed. Amy realized that Tesoro looked like Sophia’s brother. Sophia wanted to rush away from Javi and the baby. Javi’s mouth dropped open. Rachel worried that Johnny would go to prison because of her testimony. Kristen and Brady assured her that other people testified at the trial too. The other people had reasons to shoot EJ. Rachel asked Kristen if she shot him. Kristen reminded her that she watched her sleep that night. Rachel remembered waking up and going downstairs. Kristen assured her that she didn’t do it. Belle tried to leave the townhouse before EJ arrived, but she couldn’t do it. He was there for his hypnosis therapy. She walked past him in a cold way, and Marlena was happy about that. Marlena wanted to throw EJ out, but she wanted to help Johnny. Marlena began the process of getting EJ under hypnosis. EJ remembered telling a female to put her gun down. Marlena brought EJ out from hypnosis. EJ was excited that the person who shot him was a female because it would exonerate Johnny. He felt like it put the focus on the female suspects in his shooting. The suspects are Gabi, Ava, Chanel and Kristen.
Belle arrived at the courthouse. Johnny was there and apologized to Belle for embarrassing her with his testimony about her being with EJ. Belle assured him that she blamed EJ for what happened. Johnny hated what his father did to her, but he knew how much his father loved her. He wanted to know if she could forgive him. Belle didn’t think there was any coming back from what he did. The trial resumed, and the judge wanted the jury to disregard the testimony about the lawyers’ personal lives. Leo objected because there was a lot of social media content about the trial. The judge glared at him so he sat down. He withdrew his objection. The jury had to stay in hotels without access to cellphones. They would be allowed to have supervised contact with their family members until the trial was over. Kristen held Rachel because she was nervous about testifying. Kristen was testifying so she stayed there too. Belle got Rachel to talk about seeing Johnny point the gun at her uncle. She ran upstairs and heard a gunshot. Belle asked Rachel if she thought Johnny shot EJ. She withdrew the question after EJ objected to it. EJ stood up to question Rachel. He wanted to know if there was enough time for Johnny to leave and someone else arrived and shot him. Rachel admitted that someone else could have shot him. EJ was satisfied with her answer so he was finished questioning her. The judge asked Belle if she wanted to redirect, but Belle was finished with her. Rachel watched EJ and Johnny talking and had a puzzling look on her face.
