Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

Stephanie and Jada enter Bobby’s room at the Salem Inn are shocked to find Bobby unconscious on the bed. They try to wake him up. Jada checks his pulse and confirms he’s still breathing but his pulse is very weak. Jada questions what Bobby did. Jada then finds the Digoxin pills and asks how many he took. Bobby mutters that he didn’t take it. Jada urges him to think because if he took any of it, it could explain what’s happening right now. Bobby then responds that he’s not Bobby, he’s Everett.

At the DiMera Enterprises office, Connie declares that she has now washed her hands of the Bobby problem and can now focus on making Gabi and Stefan pay for what they did to Li. Connie then remarks to herself that the perfect ammunition just fell in to her lap and says to wait until Gabi hears that her husband slept with Ava Vitali. Ava then returns to the office.

Gabi finishes a call with the hospital and thanks them for everything they are doing for Rafe. Gabi hangs up and tells Stefan that there’s no change. Gabi knows it’s crazy, but part of her wants to go to Rafe’s room and scream for him to wake up. Stefan says if he thought that would bring him back, he would be doing that just so Rafe would wake up and arrest him for disturbing the peace. Gabi tells Stefan that she’s so sorry as she knows it’s their anniversary and he had this special day planned, so she should be focused on them. Stefan understands that her brother is in a coma so she’s allowed to focus on him. Gabi thanks Stefan and talks about sitting with Rafe while he seems so peaceful. Gabi wonders if he knows they are there. Stefan thinks he does. Gabi just wants Rafe to know that she loves and misses him and how important he is to her. Stefan believes Rafe knows all of those things and calls that his motivation to get back to them. Gabi knows Jada is on the case and she’s the best, but she has her hands full running the department and she is probably working on Abigail’s case too.

At the Spectator office, Jack reveals to Chad that they were able to enhance the video by 70%. Chad asks if it’s Abigail. Jack responds that he doesn’t know as he decided to wait for Chad. Chad prays for it to be Abigail. They plug in the flash drive to watch the video.

Gabi knows Stefan told her not to apologize but she still feels guilty for getting them off track from the reason they are here today. They then sit together at a table in the Bistro. Stefan pours them glasses of champagne and toasts to Rafe making a very swift and complete recovery. Gabi toasts to Abigail being found alive. Stefan then toasts to them as well. Gabi points out that they are already out of champagne. Stefan says he will be making them mojitos, pointing out that working at the Bistro is his job. Gabi brings up that he only has the job because Clyde was making him use it as a front, but she knows all the drug running was to keep her safe. Stefan calls it a small price to pay. Gabi then remarks that it wasn’t that small considering he had to pretend to be hooking up with Ava and questions whose idea that was anyway.

Connie thought Ava was going to a meeting. Ava says that Kristen said it could be in e-mail so she came back. Ava questions who Connie was talking to since she heard her say her name. Connie claims that she was just trying to memorize everyone’s name since she is new. Connie asks about Ava being new here too and what job she had before this. Connie then remembers that Ava used to work with Gabi’s husband.

Jada goes to call an ambulance while Stephanie stays with Everett and asks if it’s really him. Everett asks what happened and where he is. Stephanie explains that he’s in his room at the Salem Inn and they are calling for help as he might have accidentally overdosed. Stephanie asks what he last remembers. Everett says he was here when Bobby took over and that he tried so hard to get back to her. Stephanie exclaims that he’s here now and she’s with him, so he’s going to be okay as she tells him to hang on. Stephanie urges him to stay with her as the ambulance is on it’s way. Everett cries that he loves Stephanie and never stopped as he then passes out. Jada returns to them and checks his pulse, confirming that Everett has passed away. Jada then tells Stephanie that she’s so sorry. Stephanie is in shock and breaks down crying as Jada says they got there too late. Stephanie cries that it was Everett and she knows he came back. Stephanie asks what caused this and what’s in those pills. Jada points out that he said he didn’t take any. Stephanie wonders if Everett meant Bobby took them. Jada says it’s possible since at the station, he said he suddenly wasn’t feeling well. Jada doesn’t know what to think since there’s no sign of forced entry. Stephanie argues that something made Everett emerge. Jada notes that he was definitely Bobby at the police station. Jada guesses they have to start with the basics. Jada begins putting on her gloves and then goes to Everett’s laptop and says this could explain it as she finds what looks like a suicide note, unaware that it was typed by Connie.

Ava tells Connie that she worked with Stefan for awhile and guesses Connie did her research on her. Connie says she just knows random facts and asks if she knows when Gabi will be back. Ava informs her that Gabi is not coming back as she is taking a personal day to celebrate her wedding anniversary at the Bistro. Connie points out that’s where Ava used to work with Stefan. Connie says that’s good for them as they seem like a great couple. Connie guesses there’s no point in sticking around since Gabi is not coming back. Connie tells Ava that she’s really looking forward to working together and says she loves all the girl power in the office. Connie tells Ava that she will see her later and exits the office.

Stefan says that Gabi did all that to get back on track and now she just wants to talk about he and Ava fake dating. Gabi says it sort of is about them because if he fake dated Ava, that means he fake cheated on her while she was in prison. Stefan reminds her about the mojitos but Gabi presses on. Stefan says he only told her in the interest in full disclosure but he never would’ve told her if he thought it would upset her. Gabi states that they are honest with each other about these things and she just wants him to reassure her that it wasn’t his idea. Stefan assures her that he wasn’t even there when Ava pitched the idea to Harris to get him to back off. Gabi comments that then Stefan and Ava got down to dealing drugs and blames Clyde. Stefan says that Harris totally bought it but then Chad came in and questioned he and Ava working together and was convinced they were in the drug trade. Stefan flashes back to Chad confronting he and Ava at the DiMera Mansion. Stefan tells Gabi that Chad was like a dog with a bone, so Ava had to resurrect the lie to throw his scent off. Stefan guesses they needed to lean in to it and sell it a little bit, admitting to Gabi that Ava kissed him. Gabi is shocked while Stefan insists that it was only to keep up their cover and get Chad to shut up. Gabi supposes she understands that. Gabi says they can drop it but then questions if it was just one kiss. Gabi decides she doesn’t want the details but then stops and suggests they put everything out in the open. Gabi asks again if all that happened between he and Ava was just one kiss. Stefan admits that it wasn’t all.

Jack and Chad watch the video repeatedly but Chad complains that the woman in the video never turns to face the camera. Jack argues that it doesn’t mean it’s a dead end since it’s not just the woman in the video but maybe the room it’s taken in could give them a clue as to where it is. They watch the video again to examine the room. Jack points out that the walls are bare and the window doesn’t look open. Chad then spots something and questions what it is.

Stephanie tells Jada that Everett would not do this as he had hopes and dreams and wanted to live. Jada says it might have been a different story with Bobby. Jada reads the letter that says he should’ve known Jada would figure it all out, so he might as well confess to faking being Everett to get out of Bayview, faking being integrated to get close to her, and then stabbing Rafe to get him out of the way. Stephanie points out that Bobby said he didn’t stab Rafe when Jada saw him earlier. Jada continues reading that “Bobby” wrote he was going to go down for Rafe’s stabbing anyway and that Jada would never take him back so he had nothing left to live for, adding that he left the gloves he wore when attacking Rafe in the dresser drawer with Rafe’s blood on them. Jada goes to the drawer and retrieves the planted gloves, leaving her and Stephanie shocked in tears.

Melinda goes to the DiMera Enterprises office to see Ava. Ava mocks her so Melinda asks if she’s done something to offend her. Ava says not today, but when she was district attorney. Melinda points out that they are on the same side now. Melinda gets that they have issues with each other but says she will never forget what Ava’s son did to help her daughter Haley, so she’s grateful to him. Melinda thinks if Haley was still here, she’d want Ava to know that too. Ava says she is very sorry for her loss. Melinda calls Haley a wonderful young woman and says it was incredibly painful when she tragically died at Kristen’s hands. Melinda adds that if she can put aside that pain for the time she has to be around Kristen at work, then maybe there is hope for them. Ava agrees and asks if there’s something she can do for her. Melinda says she was just reviewing the newest employee contracts and brings up Gabi’s latest hire. Melinda adds that after pulling Connie’s file, she encountered something strange..

Gabi asks Stefan if things escalated after Ava kissed him. Stefan says there was another time where they kissed. Gabi questions if they were practicing. Stefan insists this isn’t fun for him. Stefan explains that Harris came back sniffing around and asking a lot of questions after Ava already told him they were a thing, but they needed to send the point home to cover for all the time they were spending together, so he kissed her. Stefan assures that it was only to keep up their cover. Gabi doesn’t want to overreact but talks about being in prison while Stefan was out macking on Ava. Stefan wishes she wouldn’t put it like that. Gabi supposes he didn’t have a choice. Stefan states that everything conspired to put him in that situation. Stefan declares that was it, two kisses for Chad and Harris and that was it. Connie then arrives and says she’s sorry to interrupt.

Chad points out to Jack that they can see through the window in the video. Jack sees it’s part of a billboard in the distance. Chad wonders if it’s a logo. Jack zooms in and they wonder if it’s skates or rollerblades. Chad wonders if it could be an ad for a skating rink. They are able to make out the numbers 573. Chad believes it’s an area code.

Stefan tells Connie that they are closed for a private event. Gabi reminds Stefan that she met Connie at EJ’s press conference. Connie says it’s nice to see him again after getting to know his wife. Gabi reveals that she hired her at Gabi Chic and Connie is her new assistant. Connie calls the Bistro so nice and says she wishes she would’ve come with her old boyfriend. Gabi asks why she’s here. Connie says that a birdie told her that they were celebrating their anniversary so maybe it’s not the best time. Gabi says it’s okay and asks why she’s here. Connie responds that it’s about Ava Vitali.

Melinda tells Ava that she met Connie a few times. Ava asks about her finding something strange and then questions where she met her. Melinda informs Ava that it was at Small Bar where Connie was on a blind date with Li Shin which shocks Ava, calling it a strange match. Melinda notes that she was also on a blind date with Alex Kiriakis. Melinda says she recognized the address on Connie’s forms and that she’s now living in Li’s old apartment which she finds weird.

Stephanie tells Jada that none of this feels real. Jada wishes it wasn’t and bags the gloves, saying she will take it down to forensics. Stephanie reminds Jada that they didn’t finish reading the “suicide note”, so they go back to it. Jada reads that it finished with the only thing left to say is that I’m sorry to Jada, Rafe, Stephanie, and especially to Everett and maybe they can both be at peace now. The medics place Everett in a bodybag. Stephanie breaks down crying as Jada hugs her. The medics then stretcher Everett’s body out of the room. Jada tells Stephanie that she’s taken all the evidence she needs. Jada then finds Everett’s phone on the floor next to the bed and sees that he had dialed 911 but didn’t call. Jada says this doesn’t make sense and questions why Bobby would try to kill himself but try to call for help.

Ava tells Melinda that maybe Connie didn’t know Li lived there since Wendy’s name was on the apartment. Melinda mentions running in to Connie another time on Valentine’s Day and she blew up at her, blaming her for Li’s death, and then a third time, Connie sought her out to apologize, saying she realized that Li’s death wasn’t her fault. Ava calls this a lot of fallout from one blind date. Ava guesses that Connie is eccentric to put it mildly. Ava suggests maybe she was smitten with Li and couldn’t have stopped thinking about what life might have been or that she’s lonely and living in Li’s apartment brings her some kind of creepy comfort. Melinda calls it very creepy and mentions her strange interactions with her. Ava remarks that it’s not like Connie killed Li.

Gabi asks Connie if Ava sent her. Connie says it was her idea to come when she heard they were both here as Ava needed some documents signed and she was going to messenger them over, but she likes to do things in person. Connie remarks that she assumes Stefan knows Ava. Gabi comments that he knows Ava real well. Stefan says that they used to be partners at the Bistro. Connie says she heard about that. Gabi signs the documents. Connie then tells them to not give business another thought since they were separated for a long time and deserve to spend their anniversary in peace. Connie then exits the Bistro. Stefan calls her interesting while Gabi says she’s certainly enthusiastic and admits that she’s already made her life that much easier, even if she could do without interruptions like that. Stefan guesses she just wants to impress her and is glad that Gabi has someone she can depend on.

Chad looks up the area code and finds out it’s in Missouri, recognizing Poplar Bluff which was Clyde Weston’s hometown. Jack says that Clyde could be holding Abigail there and asks how long it’s been since he lived there. Chad is sure it’s been quite awhile but he’s sure he still has contacts there. They decide there’s only one way to find out if Abigail is there, so they exit together.

Stefan and Gabi have mojitos at the Bistro. Stefan is glad their anniversary is back on track. Gabi says she knows Stefan is just counting the hours until he takes her to bed which Stefan admits to. Gabi promises to make it her mission that Stefan forgets about his kisses with Ava. Stefan asks if that means they are okay. Gabi says yes and admits she overreacted. Gabi apologizes for what she said to Connie about how well he knows Ava. Stefan says it’s fine. Gabi just hates the idea of someone else messing around with her husband, but since it was just two kisses, she supposes she can live with it. Gabi and Stefan then kiss and hug.

Melinda decides maybe Ava has a point since Connie didn’t kill Li, Gil Carter did. Ava points out that she killed Gil which Melinda calls completely justifiable. Ava jokes about two people being killed in the same apartment. Melinda says maybe that’s why Connie took the place.

Connie walks through the town square, saying it would’ve been fun to blow Stefan and Gabi out of the water right there but maybe it’s more fun to keep the information to herself so she can make sure it’s perfect when she drops the bomb. The medics then come by with Everett/Bobby’s body being stretchered away, so Connie says bye bye to Bobby.

Jada and Stephanie wonder if Bobby changed his mind after taking the pills or if he was Everett by that point and tried calling for help, but was too weak to press send. Stephanie cries that it’s so heartbreaking as they hug.

Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

At the DiMera Enterprises office, Gabi goes over ideas for Gabi Chic with Ava. Ava tells her it all sounds great but Gabi notes her being distracted and questions why Ava seems anxious. Ava responds that it’s her first project at DiMera and she wants it to go well for both of them. Gabi says that’s the goal. Ava asks Gabi how Rafe is doing. Gabi responds that he’s unfortunately the same. Ava says she’s sorry to hear that and she hopes he makes a full recovery and that they catch whoever attacked him.

In the interrogation room, Bobby as “Everett” tells Jada that he’s not a murderer. Jada argues that he was freed from Bayview the same day that Rafe got stabbed and then Stephanie went to visit him as he was getting out of the shower. Jada questions if he was washing off evidence from a bloody crime scene. He says no, so Jada asks why he looks so guilty. He laughs it off and repeats that he’s not Bobby. Jada calls him her best suspect in two stabbing attacks, so her next move will be to get on the phone with some experts to come evaluate him as she’s pretty sure they will tell him that he’s still Bobby and not Everett, so he better come back with some better responses. He then admits that he’s Bobby but insists that he did not stab Li or Rafe, but he can tell her who did, so Jada asks who it was.

Connie comments to herself on planting gloves to stay out of prison but Leo knocks on the door, saying he needs to talk to Everett and asks if he’s in there. Connie questions what the hell he wants. Leo says that he just wants to talk to him about Stephanie.

Stephanie leaves the Brady Pub and calls Jada, leaving her a message about her run-in with Leo and how Leo suspected that Bobby isn’t Everett. Stephanie mentions that she hopes she convinced Leo to keep his mouth shut because the last thing they need is for him to publish that in the Spectator.

Jack goes to the Spectator office to see Chad. Chad says he just heard Xander gave Jack his half of the paper back and calls it the best news he heard all day. Chad tells Jack that he looks forward to working with him again and asks if he’s here to talk shop. Jack responds that he’s actually here to talk about Abigail. Jack mentions just coming from the lab where they are moving painfully slow in enhancing the video of the woman that Clyde claims is Abigail. Chad asks if he had a breakthrough .Jack says not exactly, but he recruited the help of an old friend who has introduced some innovative AI techniques in to the mix. Jack says if that doesn’t work, they won’t be able to help them anymore. Jack wanted Chad to know that today they are going to find out if the video is a dead end or not. Jack declares that if it is a dead end, he will go back to Boston to tell Jennifer that they are back to square one, as if she wasn’t upset enough that they dug up Abigail’s grave. Chad points out that if it doesn’t pan out, they have nothing since Abigail’s grave is empty and Clyde’s in solitary so they can’t ask him any questions. Chad declares that if it isn’t true, he can’t rest until Abigail is back with them, resting in peace. Jack decides he will go back to see if he can speed things up but Chad stops him.

Leo continues calling out to Everett from behind the door and then says if he’s not there, he’ll just see him at the office. Connie then accidentally knocks something over in the room, causing a sound that Leo hears so he continues to call out for Everett. Leo then decides Everett must not want to talk to him and walks away. Connie sighs in relief, saying that was close.

Jada asks Bobby who stabbed Rafe if it wasn’t him. Bobby hesitates and says to give him a second. Bobby then suddenly says he doesn’t feel that well.

Gabi tells Ava that she’s counting on Jada to find the bastard that did this to Rafe. Gabi then gets a call from Stefan, who says he needs to see her at the Bistro. Gabi says that she and Ava are in the middle of the Gabi Chic launch campaign but Stefan says it can’t wait. Gabi asks him what’s going on. Stefan would rather discuss it in person, so Gabi says she’s on her way and hangs up. Ava asks if everything is okay. Gabi says that Stefan apparently has something to tell her in person and wants her to come to the Bistro. Ava hopes it’s nothing bad. Gabi guesses she will find out and apologizes to Ava. Ava tells Gabi not to worry about it and to go ahead. Gabi then exits the office. Ava wonders why she suddenly doesn’t feel so well.

Jada asks Bobby how gullible he thinks she is and tells him that this isn’t second grade where he can fake being sick. Bobby responds that he’s not faking it and repeats that he doesn’t feel that well as his head is spinning. Bobby suddenly says he has to go and runs out of the room while Jada yells after him that she just needs a name. Jada then gets a call.

Connie plants the bloody gloves in Bobby’s room and the note she typed on his laptop, then plants a bottle of pills on his nightstand.

Chad tells Jack that the half of the paper he bought from Gwen belongs to him. Jack assures Chad that he wants him to keep it since it was always meant to be Abigail’s. Jack declares that someday it will go to Thomas and Charlotte as that’s what Abigail would want and how it should be. After Jack leaves, Leo arrives at the Spectator office and greets Chad. Leo tells Chad that he has a good problem in having too many gossip items to choose from including Alex being out as Victor’s heir, Xander being set to star in Body and Soul, or if he should turn his lens inward this week which Chad questions. Leo explains that Everett is back from Bayview and the question is if he seems like himself. Chad says he hasn’t spoken to him much since he wouldn’t know. Leo talks about Everett being holed up in his room all the time, so he hasn’t seen him much either. Leo mentions knocking on his door earlier and getting totally blown off.

Connie sneaks out of Bobby’s hotel room and leaves the key card on the floor outside.

Jada finishes her call in the interrogation room, saying to let her know immediately. Stephanie arrives and asks if it’s a bad time. Jada says she’s up to her eyeballs but they need to debrief. Jada informs Stephanie that Bobby admitted to faking Everett’s emergence to get out of Bayview and that he only pretended to be integrated so people wouldn’t suspect he was still Bobby. Stephanie realizes that he was in to Jada then and believes that’s why he stabbed Rafe to get him out of the way. Jada notes that Bobby vehemently denied doing that. Jada adds that Bobby says he knows who did but as soon as she pressed him for specifics, he got sick and said he had to go home.

Bobby returns to his hotel room in pain and finds his keycard on the floor, wondering what is wrong with him.

Kristen goes to the DiMera Enterprises office and tells Ava that she hopes she’s not interrupting. Ava says not at all and that she’s just working on the Gabi Chic relaunch campaign, showing her that they came up with “Chic is Back”. Kristen suggests “Chic Never Left” which Ava likes. Kristen then asks where Gabi is. Ava responds that she had to leave because Stefan summoned her to discuss something he apparently couldn’t talk about over the phone. Kristen calls that unacceptable on only Gabi’s second day. Ava reveals that she actually told Gabi that she could go. Kristen questions why she would do that. Ava explains that she fears the inevitable is about to happen so she wants to get it over with. Kristen questions what she’s talking about and tells her to be serious. Ava clarifies that she just fears that Stefan is planning to tell Gabi that they slept together while she was in prison.

Gabi goes to the Bistro and questions Stefan why it’s closed and what’s wrong. Stefan responds that he wanted one on one time with his wife. Gabi questions doing that now. Stefan asks when if not now. Gabi suggests not when she’s in the middle of an ad campaign and complains that she has a zoom meeting with an investor in Dubai in two hours. Stefan reminds her that she shares her calendar with him and he knows her meeting is tomorrow. Stefan tells Gabi that he missed her and asks if that’s okay. Gabi admits she’s missed him too and she hates that she’s working at DiMera while he’s not, but he has to understand how important this is to her as making Gabi Chic a global brand will take a lot of her time and attention. Stefan assures that he understands and asks her to just give him a minute as he surprises her with roses. Gabi asks what those are for. Stefan questions if she really has to ask as he wishes her a Happy Anniversary.

Leo asks Chad if he should’ve kept knocking on Everett’s door. Chad says no and tells him not to take it personally since Everett is just focusing on his mental health and probably needs some space. Leo wonders if Everett was released from Bayview prematurely. Chad apologizes for being edgy. Leo says he gets it as he’s always on edge. Leo calls it crazy around here since Xander is out and Jack is in. Leo adds that when he heard one of the old owners was back, it made him wonder if Gwen was on her way back too. Leo acknowledges that Gwen hated him in the end, but she was the best friend he ever had and he threw it all away. Leo then realizes that today is Gwen’s anniversary.

Gabi apologizes to Stefan for forgetting their anniversary with Rafe’s stabbing and everything going on with Gabi Chic. Stefan questions how she could forget when they got married twice on this day. Gaib says she’d rather forget the disastrous double wedding with Dimitri and Gwen, but she still blanked. Stefan tells her it’s okay and he just thought maybe she would be expecting something, so he wanted her to be surprised. Gabi tells him that she was and this was so sweet. Gabi thanks him as they kiss. Stefan then tells her that’s not her only surprise as they are only just beginning.

Leo can’t believe it’s been a year since Gwen and Dimitri had the double wedding with Gabi and Stefan. Leo points out that Gwen and Dimitri never even got divorced. Leo complains about how he threw away his entire friendship with Gwen for Dimitri, who unceremoniously dumped him in a letter that didn’t even make any sense. Leo talks about Dimitri meeting a guy in prison and wonders if it’s even true. Chad asks if he thinks he was making it up. Leo says maybe Dimitri didn’t want him to know that he’s going back to Gwen and reclaim his inheritance. Chad thinks that’s all a stretch. Leo asks if Chad has heard from Dimitri since he’s his nephew. Chad responds that he hasn’t and probably never will. Chad asks if it would be less upsetting if Dimitri went back to Gwen rather than ending up with another man. Leo thinks it would be more upsetting if he went back to Gwen because he’d be worried that Dimitri would break her heart all over again. Chad doesn’t think coming up with crazy ideas is doing any good. Leo guesses he just misses them both a lot and wishes things turned out differently.

Stephanie tells Jada that Bobby not being Everett is why he was so cold to her. They talk about Bobby saying he knows who stabbed Li and Rafe. Jada says every time she asks for a name, he has a convenient excuse. Jada says she doesn’t think Bobby is really sick so Stephanie asks why she let him leave. Jada responds that she had no choice since there wasn’t enough evidence to hold him. Stephanie brings up Bobby admitting to lying to get out of Bayview but Jada says that’s not a crime. Stephanie worries that now that Bobby knows they are onto him, he could be packing his bags to skip town. Jada admits he could be but there’s no legal means to stop him, so her hands are tied. Stephanie declares that she doesn’t have to follow police procedures so she’s heading over there right now and rushes out of the room. Jada then hurries out after her.

Bobby crawls in to his bed in pain. Bobby then finds the bottle of Digoxin pills on his nightstand.

Kristen thinks Ava is being paranoid about the whole Stefan situation and advises her to stop bringing it up in public places because you never know who might be listening. Connie then arrives with two coffees. Kristen questions who she is. Connie introduces herself as Gabi’s new executive assistant. Ava notes that Gabi did mention hiring an assistant and introduces herself. Connie asks where Gabi is. Ava says that she’s not in at the moment. Connie says that Gabi told her to be there at 10 AM sharp and she brought her a latte with extra foam which Kristen takes instead. Kristen takes a drink and then says it’s awful, questioning what Connie put in it. Connie then thinks back to spiking Bobby’s coffee with the Digoxin pills. Connie tells Kristen that she didn’t put anything in her drink.

Bobby remains struggling on his bed and thinks back to Connie showing up at his door, realizing that she caused this. Bobby weakly pulls out his phone and tries to dial 911.

Chad tells Leo that he can’t stare in the rearview mirror for too long as he has to look forward. Leo says he’s trying and apologizes for laying this all on him. Chad says it’s fine and that he hopes good things happen for Leo. Chad encourages that Leo has a lot going for him. Leo tells him not to hold back. Chad tells Leo that he’s smart, funny and he at least tries to be a better person. Leo remarks that he rarely succeeds but thanks Chad, saying it means a lot. Chad tells Leo that it’s okay to feel lonely because moving on from the love of your life is sometimes impossible. Leo tells Chad that he knows what’s going on with Abigail and assumes there hasn’t been any updates. Chad says not yet. Leo hopes that Chad doesn’t ever have to move on.

Gabi asks Stefan about another surprise. Stefan says he even surprised himself a little bit as he wrote Gabi a poem which he started while they were apart and finished it last night in hopes that he could recite it to her on their anniversary. Stefan intends to put it to music one day and send it to her. Stefan then recites his poem to Gabi which she calls beautiful as they hug. They wish each other a Happy Anniversary as they kiss.

Kristen asks Connie to bring her some sweetener for the coffee. Connie argues that she works for Gabi. Kristen tells Connie that Gabi works for her and tells her to hurry up as Ava directs her to the break room. After Connie leaves, Ava worries about if she heard them talking about Stefan. Kristen says they are just lucky she didn’t come in a minute sooner. Ava then gets a text from Gabi, informing her that she’s not coming back as she’s taking the rest of the day off because her and Stefan are celebrating their anniversary. Kristen guesses Ava has nothing to worry about then. Ava agrees that she just needs to chill out. Connie returns with sweetener for Kristen. Kristen mentions a scheduled meeting. Connie asks where her desk is. Kristen tells her to ask Gabi as she and Ava then exit the office. Connie then decides on an open desk and takes a seat.

Stephanie and Jada go to Bobby’s hotel room at the Salem Inn. Stephanie knocks on the door, calling for Everett. Jada reveals a keycard and says the manager doesn’t need to know that she doesn’t have a warrant. Stephanie hopes they aren’t too late. They enter the room and are shocked to find Bobby unconscious on the bed. They try to wake him up. Jada checks his pulse and confirms he’s still breathing but his pulse is very weak. Jada questions what Bobby did. Jada then finds the Digoxin pills and asks how many he took.

Connie declares that she has now washed her hands of the Bobby problem and can now focus on making Gabi and Stefan pay for what they did to Li. Connie then reveals that she hid outside the door and overheard Ava tell Kristen about her and Stefan sleeping together while Gabi was in prison. Connie then remarks to herself that the perfect ammunition just fell in to her lap.

Gabi tells Stefan that his poem was so beautiful. Stefan credits her for inspiring him and says he falls more in love with her every day. Stefan pours them glasses of champagne and toasts to the year ahead which Gabi says will be the best one yet and then they kiss.

Leo sits alone in the town square and calls Gwen. Leo is shocked that she actually answered and says he was just thinking about her as today is her anniversary. Gwen tells him to go screw himself and hangs up. Leo remarks that Chad was right that he should’ve just left well enough alone.

Jack returns to the Spectator office and informs Chad that he’s got their enhanced video on a flash drive.

Chanel wakes up in a panic that she overslept and has to go open the Bakery but Johnny stops her and reminds her that she took the morning off. Johnny declares that means the morning belongs to them as they kiss until Chanel tells him he has to stop, leaving Johnny confused.

Abe and Kate are in their office on set of Body and Soul. Abe calls it surreal that they are doing this as Kate declares that Body and Soul relaunches today. Abe adds that they are in charge.

Stephanie sits in the town square with her laptop when she gets a call from Jada and asks if there’s any news. Jada informs her that she just told Marlena their theory that Everett never re-emerged and that Bobby is still in control. Jada says that Marlena was limited by confidentiality but reading between the lines, she thinks Marlena agrees with them. Stephanie guesses they are on the right track then and asks if she told Marlena that they think Bobby might have stabbed Rafe. Jada says she’s keeping that on a need to know basis. Stephanie decides that’s a good idea and says they might not know what Everett is capable of but that is hard for her to wrap her head around. Leo then appears in front of Stephanie and asks what Everett did now.

Connie goes to Bobby’s hotel room. Bobby thought they agreed not to be seen together and calls it an idiotic risk for both of them. Bobby argues that she’s begging for someone to catch a glimpse of them and connect the dots. Connie responds that she’s not really worried so Bobby questions what she knows that he doesn’t. Connie thinks back to overhearing Jada and Stephanie talking about their theory that Bobby might be the one that stabbed Rafe. Connie then tells Bobby that she has a perfect record, so whenever she commits a crime, she gets away with it.

Stephanie tells Jada that she will call her back and questions Leo eavesdropping. Leo says he smells a story or something that could have a negative impact on him. Stephanie tells him to put it away. Leo complains about how things are at the Spectator and says he will sit here until she tells him the truth. Stephanie tells Leo that it will go no further than this table.

Bobby asks Connie how many crimes she’s committed that she’s gotten away with. Connie says they’d need a ruling from the judge because she’s not sure stabbing Rafe counts as her crime. Bobby responds that it certainly isn’t his. Connie argues that he’s the one who wanted a favor in exchange for keeping his mouth shut about Li. Bobby complains that he asked for a favor, not a murder. Connie asks what he thought she would do. Bobby says he doesn’t know her or like her and she’s not his friend, so he never wants to see her again. Connie declares that his wish is her command.

Paulina goes to the police station and hugs Jada, telling her that she’s sorry about Rafe. Jada thanks her for the flowers she and Abe sent to his room. Paulina wishes she could do more. Paulina says that until Rafe is able to return to work, she needs to appoint an interim commissioner. Jada agrees to give her respect and cooperation to whoever she chooses. Paulina then reveals that she has chosen Jada.

Johnny asks if Chanel is feeling okay. Chanel says she’s fine and apologizes if it feels like she’s pushing him away but she can’t stop thinking about what the doctor said after they lost the baby. Johnny guesses she means about waiting 6-12 months before trying to get pregnant again. Johnny thought they were okay since she’s on the pill. Chanel responds that she is but after her miscarriage, she’s not taking any chances.

Abe tells Kate there are so many fresh faces but he just hopes some of them show up for their open casting call. Kate hopes so as well, talking about wanting to get the show up and streaming before the fans get out of the habit of watching every day. Someone knocks on the door, so Kate declares it’s time to let the auditions begin. Abe excitedly says to imagine that their next big star is on the other side of the door. They then open the door to apparently see Marlena in a dress.

Paulina reminds Jada that she wanted the commissioner spot before and now out of all the candidates, she is by far the most qualified. Jada says she’s flattered but they are talking about the man she loves, so she can’t just take his job. Paulina argues that it would only be until Rafe wakes up and she thinks he would want the best person available working to find his attacker to bring them to justice. Paulina feels they owe Rafe that. Jada says it’s hard to turn down when she puts it that way. Paulina jokes that she’s not a politician for nothing and asks if that’s a yes. Jada then accepts the position and says it will be her honor. Jada promises to work nonstop to find the bastard who put Rafe in a coma. Paulina says she knows she will and she will get right to work on a press release today. Paulina tells Jada to call her private line if she needs anything. Paulina then notices that Jada is looking at the Li Shin file and says she thought that case was closed. Jada reveals that she reopened it again because some new information has come to light and there may be another suspect. Paulina tells Jada to round them up because the last thing the town needs is another killer on the loose.

Connie tells Bobby that the donuts she brought from the bakery were $12.99 and money’s a little tight until her new job starts. Bobby responds that he’s not paying for it as he doesn’t even like donuts. Connie explains that she brought them to help him woo Jada, pointing out that Jada doesn’t even like Everett. Bobby talks about telling Marlena in his recent session that Bobby and Everett have integrated so Everett can do whatever he wants him to do now and never has to learn about his ugly past. Connie remarks that Everett must really owe Bobby for keeping him in his mental dungeon. Bobby pays Connie in cash, then she asks for a chocolate donut for her troubles which he agrees to. When Bobby turns around, Connie steals his key card from his wallet.

Stephanie informs Leo that Everett broke up with her. Leo says he’s so sorry but he’s shocked because Everett would go on about her constantly like it was a love story for the ages. Leo feels something is off about the whole scenario.

Johnny asks if Chanel is saying she doesn’t want to make love. Chanel clarifies that she’s just saying she usually takes her birth control pill when she wakes up at 4 AM but she overslept, so she hasn’t taken it yet. Chanel thanks him for understanding. Johnny doesn’t know if this is the right time but he knows there’s a risk of another pregnancy in the future, so he tells her it’s okay if she doesn’t want to. Chanel knows she was on the fence about having a kid but she’s learned from this experience that when the time is right, it will be right and she cannot wait to have a baby with him if he’s good with that. Johnny suggests letting him show her instead of telling her as they continue kissing.

Abe is glad to see Marlena has changed her mind. She tells him not to call her Marlena as she comes inside. Kate guesses she’s in character. Abe apologizes and acknowledges her as the one and only Charlemagne. She then reveals that she is the one and only Hattie Adams. Kate thought Hattie left town. Hattie responds that she did as she was trying to find herself and she went everywhere from a convent to a nudist colony but it didn’t seem like she fit in anywhere and then she remembered fitting in right here in Salem. Hattie recalls pretending to be Marlena before, so it occurred to her that her calling is to be an actress. Hattie talks about when she got there, the strike was going on for months. Hattie says she saw the casting call for Body and Soul and always thought she looked like Charlemagne. Kate asks if she can play the part. Hattie responds that she played Marlena, so Kate tells her to play Charlemagne. Hattie asks for them to give her a script.

Chanel tells Johnny that she wishes they could just lay here all day. Johnny reminds her that they have breakfast with Paulina so they should get going. Chanel complains that she never gets to stay in bed like this. Johnny offers to reschedule. Chanel says Paulina is chronically late so maybe they can take a few more minutes. Johnny agrees as they resume kissing.

Jada tells Paulina that she doesn’t want a murderer on the loose either but she has to proceed with caution because the person involved in Li’s murder might be connected to the person who attacked Rafe. Paulina feels that’s all the more reason to act quickly. Jada assures that she has a plan and she hopes to execute it today.

Connie tells Bobby to have a great life as she exits his hotel room. Bobby then gets a call from Jada, who says she’s not happy with the way they left things so she hoped they could talk. Jada invites him to the police station so he says he’ll be right over and hangs up.

Stephanie tells Leo that it’s not like Everett ripped her heart out but that it was out of concern for his mental health and not wanting to ask her to wait for him. Leo argues that Everett would know that Stephanie would have waited for him which confirms to him that Everett has been acting really strange since getting out of Bayview. Stephanie asks so. Leo says he has been moody and withdrawn, pointing out that the other day he had to say Everett’s name three times as if he didn’t recognize it. Leo then comes to a realization and says that would explain everything. Leo then asks what if it wasn’t Everett, but Bobby Stein.

Bobby takes his donuts and exits his hotel room. Connie then uses the key card to sneak in to his room.

Abe and Kate tell Hattie that they will give her some scenes to audition. Abe tells Hattie that she will play Charlemagne while Kate will play Lorna. Hattie struggles with the script, so Abe encourages more emotion. Abe tells Hattie that she needs to make them care that Lorna is taking Charlemagne’s position as the new top diva in town. Hattie apologizes for messing up, thinking that she ruined her chances but Abe encourages her to bring that emotion to the scenes. Hattie then gets excited about getting the job.

Paulina joins Chanel and Johnny at the Brady Pub. Paulina mentions that she had to stop by the police station to give Rafe’s job to Jada temporarily. Paulina tells them that she does have good news as she announces Jada already has a suspect in Rafe’s attack. Paulina says they are all praying that Rafe will pull through this again and she knows his attacker will be behind bars because no one is more motivated than Jada to get to the bottom of this.

Leo talks to Stephanie about Bobby being married to Jada, so maybe he’s still in control and dumped her for Jada. Stephanie laughs him off and insists that Bobby is not in control anymore and that’s why Marlena released him, so his theory is ridiculous. Leo disagrees and calls it credible.

Bobby as “Everett” goes to meet Jada in the interrogation room. He tells her that he brought her donuts as a peace offering. He acknowledges that he crossed the line in Rafe’s hospital room and says he knows that she’s going through so much right now, so he doesn’t want to make her uncomfortable. Jada says she appreciates that as she was worried about him not acting like himself. He claims he can explain that and talks about starting to feel some of Bobby’s feelings, like he’s part of him. He then tells Jada that his therapy with Marlena has been incredible and that her hypnosis helped him remember all these things that he blocked out for years. Jada asks if his memory is back then and calls that a great break for both of them. He questions what she means. Jada points out that Bobby knew who killed Li Shin, so that means “Everett” knows too and can finally tell her.

Paulina talks with Chanel and Johnny about watching her cholesterol. Paulina adds that she’s glad they and the Bakery are still here. Chanel says she’s still very sad about what happened, but she feels so lucky to get to see her mom every day. Paulina says she’s the lucky one. Chanel adds that some day when the time is right, she and Johnny will try again to start a family. Chanel says when that time comes, they will be so blessed to have Paulina by their side. Paulina asks about the plan to move to LA. Johnny says he’s decided to find work here and closer to Chicago. Paulina jokes that some of the shows can give Body and Soul a run for it’s money.

Abe asks Hattie to leave for a moment so he can talk to Kate. Hattie agrees to wait outside and exits. Kate tells Abe that she knows Hattie looks the part, but she can’t act and calls her terrible. Abe says they can hire an acting coach and if they don’t get what they want, they’ll make a change but she has the look. Kate reluctantly agrees to defer to him. Kate decides they have their Charlemagne and calls Hattie back in. Abe then tells Hattie that she’s hired which thrills her. Hattie thanks him and says they won’t regret this but Kate mutters that she is already. Abe says he has to run an errand, so Kate will go over the detail of Hattie’s contract.

Stephanie knows Leo is really excited about his theory, but says he can’t tell people about it. Leo says he can make it a blind item but Stephanie argues that everyone would know who he’s talking about and she doubts that his boss would appreciate him making assumptions about his mental health in his paper. Leo asks if Stephanie thinks he could be right. Stephanie claims that she doesn’t. Leo hopes that he at least ended things in person since Dimitri broke up with him by snail mail. Leo adds that if Everett thought he was protecting her by breaking up with her, he would like to set him straight but Stephanie tells him to drop it. Stephanie decides she should get going and walks away. Leo complains about what Stephanie told him and asks when he’s ever stayed out of anything.

“Everett” tells Jada that he’s not sure it works the way she thinks it works. He claims he’s thinking about it now, but it’s fuzzy. Jada guesses he still doesn’t want to tell her what he saw on the day that Li Shin was murdered. “Everett” says Bobby was the one stringing her along on that. Jada points out that he just said they were integrated. Jada decides that maybe Rafe was right that he didn’t see anything, so there’s nothing to remember, or maybe he doesn’t want to tell him who stabbed Li Shin because that person is him. Bobby laughs it off and asks if she’s serious as he barely knew Li. Jada asks about Rafe since he was stabbed in the back the same way. Jada doesn’t know what his motive would be with Li, but she can think of several reasons he would want Rafe out of the way. He tells her to slow down. Jada brings up that when Bobby emerged, he was all about them getting back together even though she was in a committed relationship with Rafe. Jada thinks Bobby pretended that Everett emerged but he was Bobby when he went to Bayview, when he left Bayview, and when he stabbed Rafe in the back.

Connie wears black gloves while typing on a laptop in Everett’s hotel room and says that should do it. Connie then pulls out a bag, revealing the gloves she wore when stabbing Rafe with Rafe’s blood on them.

Kate negotiates with Hattie about her contract, reminding her that she has no experience. Hattie feels it’s a low ball offer and wants perks included. Kate tells Hattie that she will do her own hair and makeup. Hattie asks if Abe would want her unhappy. Kate tells her that she won’t twist Abe to her advantage. Kate then asks Hattie if she wants the role or not, so Hattie agrees to sign the contract.

Abe joins Paulina, Chanel, and Johnny at the Pub. Paulina calls it a nice surprise and says she was just about tell Johnny to hit Abe up for a job. Abe says great minds think alike and tells Johnny that he will need a great director to bring out the talent of some their less experienced actors. Abe knows it’s not the Hollywood blockbuster he dreamed of. Johnny calls it a job doing what he loves. Chanel points out that it’s in Salem too. Johnny adds that he’d be working with someone he adores and respects, so it’s everything he could ask for. Chanel calls it amazing and congratulates Johnny as they all toast to that.

Bobby as “Everett” tells Jada that he knows this is difficult to understand but claims Bobby is gone and he doesn’t need him anymore. Bobby tells her that she can ask Marlena. Jada argues that he knows Marlena can’t talk to her about his case, unless he’s about to commit another murder and asks if he’s going to do that. He repeats that he’s not Bobby and not a murderer. Jada argues that he was freed from Bayview the same day that Rafe got stabbed and then Stephanie went to visit him as he was getting out of the shower. Jada questions if he was washing off evidence from a bloody crime scene. He says no, so Jada asks why he looks so guilty. He laughs it off and repeats that he’s not Bobby. Jada calls him her best suspect in two stabbing attacks, so her next move will be to get on the phone with some experts to come examine him as she’s pretty sure he’s still Bobby and not Everett, so he better come back with some better responses. He then admits that he’s Bobby but insists that he did not stab Li or Rafe, but he knows who did.

Connie comments to herself about planting gloves to stay out of prison but Leo knocks on the door, saying he needs to talk to Everett and asks if he’s in there.

Update written by Joseph

At the Horton Cabin on Smith Island, Tate paces with his phone, questioning what Theresa has done. Holly arrives and tries to tell Tate there’s something he needs to know but Tate informs her that he just got the worst news that his mom has been arrested.

At the police station, Andrew enters the interrogation room to see Theresa. She says she was wondering when he was going to show up to tell her how disappointed he is and that he’s ashamed to be her brother and ready to disown her. Andrew responds that isn’t why he’s here. Andrew then reveals he came to say he’s proud of her.

Marlena talks with Kayla in her office about her last session with Everett and thinks his reaction to hypnosis was textbook and he was just telling her what she wanted to hear. Marlena is concerned that “Everett” is faking his integration. Abe then arrives and says he’s sorry to interrupt but that Marlena’s assistant said she might be willing to talk. Marlena says she has a few minutes. Kayla offers to step out but Abe asks her to stay and says he’s happy he caught them together. Marlena asks if something is wrong. Abe says it’s all good and hopes they can make it better. Kayla asks what this is about. Abe responds that he has an offer they can’t refuse.

Roman decorates the Brady Pub for Eric and Nicole’s going away party. Kate walks in and asks what the occasion is. Roman informs her that Eric and Nicole are moving to Paris.

Eric and Nicole pack bags in Eric’s room. Eric mentions that Roman said he’d hold onto anything they can’t fit while Nicole remarks that EJ will probably burn whatever she had left. Eric has Deja vu as he realizes he’s packing the same bag that he was carrying when Nicole stopped him from getting on the plane to Paris. Nicole points out that now they are going together as they hug.

Abe is sure Kayla and Marlena heard about Body and Soul being cancelled. Kayla confirms that she did and explains to Marlena that it was a soap opera that Abe is a big fan of. Abe informs them that the good news is that it might be making a comeback. Abe then announces that he and Kate bought the rights and will be filming it right here in Salem. Marlena calls that cute while Kayla thinks he and Kate will make a good team. Marlena adds that it might even be a boost to the local economy which Abe calls part of the pitch to investors. Kayla tells Abe that they will support any way they can. Abe says he’s happy to hear them say that because he’s going to need their help. Marlena asks if he’s looking for investors. Abe says no, they are looking for stars.

Theresa questions Andrew saying he’s proud of her when she’s committed multiple felonies. Andrew explains that he’s proud of her for turning herself in and taking responsibility for what she did which shows character. Theresa says she appreciates his approval but she doesn’t know what character is going to do when she’s doing hard time.

Tate complains to Holly that he can’t believe this is happening when Theresa judges him for lying and sneaking around, but then she does this. Tate knew Theresa had done bad things in the past but he really believed that she was trying to be better and now he finds out through Lady Whistleblower that Theresa forged the letter to make Alex be Victor’s son when it was really Xander. Holly reveals she knows because Maggie just told her the whole story. Holly says she’s sorry about his mom as she hugs him. Tate guesses it hasn’t really sunk in yet and feels like he’s in some kind of nightmare but this really happened. Holly calls it terrible for Theresa, Tate, and Brady but notes that she has some good news. Holly informs Tate that Maggie just asked her to live with her.

Eric asks if Nicole is sure she’s okay letting Holly stay in Salem. Nicole admits that she’s not but she always worries. Eric understands she’s a caring mom. Nicole states that Holly made a really good case that it’s her senior year and she doesn’t want to leave her friends, adding that she’s not doing drugs anymore so she has to learn to trust her. Nicole adds that Holly will have Maggie and other family like Sarah, Abe, and Paulina to be there for her. Nicole says after everything that has happened, she doesn’t want to disrupt Holly’s life more than she already has. Eric gets it but says he wasn’t just asking what it means for Holly. Nicole admits she will obviously miss her like crazy, but she knows that she will be surrounded by people who love her so she has to let Holly live her life while she focuses on living her life with Jude and Eric. Nicole tells Eric that they’ve been waiting for this for so long and now they have a baby together. Nicole says sometimes she wonders if she’s dreaming. Eric assures that she’s not as they kiss.

Marlena questions Abe looking for stars. Abe clarifies that he means actors who will become stars when they get the show up and running. Marlena asks what that has to do with them. Kayla thinks she knows. Abe tells Kayla that she is the spitting image of Cassandra Lovegood while Marlena is a dead ringer for Charlemagne Delacroix which Kayla identifies as the names of the characters on Body and Soul. Abe insists that they look just like them and calls it uncanny. Abe points out that Charlemagne has done 5000 episodes of Body and Soul and has been on the show for decades as he shows Marlena a picture of her. Marlena remarks that there may be a slight resemblance. Abe repeats that it’s uncanny, just like Kayla is for Cassandra. Abe declares that he knows they would be perfect for the reboot of Body and Soul.

Kate asks Roman if now EJ is driving people out of country. Roman confirms that EJ is making things difficult so Eric and Nicole decided it would be easier to leave town rather than deal with him. Kate calls EJ the villain and says that Eric and Nicole have been punished enough. Roman remarks that EJ is a DiMera. Kate says that’s for sure and at least Eric is taking the magazine job in Paris. Roman says they are packing Jude up and moving there. Kate says Eric was really happy about the job and it’s good for his career so they could do a lot worse than Paris. Kate asks about Holly. Roman says she is staying in Salem.

Holly explains to Tate that when Nicole told her that she and Eric were moving to Paris, she said she would refuse to go. Tate asks if Nicole was okay with it. Holly says not at first, but she realized she would be miserable if she forced her to leave her whole life behind and then Maggie said she could live with her. Tate says that’s really great. Holly doesn’t want to act like it’s all good news when Tate is so upset about his mom. Tate says it’s okay as he has to remind himself that Theresa brought this on herself, so as sorry as he feels for her, he’s really angry at her for all the lies she told and how many people she hurt. Tate guesses he should look at the upside that his mom won’t be policing him anymore for awhile. Holly adds that her mom is moving to another continent, so Tate declares they won’t have to sneak around anymore. Holly knows it’s bittersweet with Tate’s mom in serious trouble while her mom has to move to another country because her husband turned out to be a lying bastard, but she’s so grateful that they have each other. Tate agrees as they kiss.

Andrew encourages Theresa that she might not have to do hard time as he’s going to see if he can negotiate a deal. Theresa questions if he really thinks he can do that. Andrew says he’s going to try but notes that she is facing serious charges so there will be serious consequences. Theresa feels there should be because she hurt a lot of people including some she really cares about. Andrew talks about the other factors like Sarah and Xander’s baby being returned to them not long after while the actions of fraud were done on foreign soil in Greece. Theresa says he’s making it sound like she has a chance to beat this. Theresa asks if he can really thinks he can sell this to the district attorney.

Eric and Nicole kiss onto the bed in his room as they begin to undress and then have sex.

Holly tells Tate that they can finally be together whenever they want. Tate asks what about his dad. Holly thought it was only his mom that was freaked out about them. Tate says his dad was more reasonable but he will go ballistic if he finds out he was paying all this money for Aaron to go to lacrosse camp. Holly agrees that he won’t be too reasonable about that. Tate worries he might never speak to him again. Holly asks what to do. Tate thinks she will have to continue working at the Bistro while he stays here at the cabin. Holly suggests saying he got homesick and came home early but Tate says his dad won’t buy that. Holly suggests faking an injury so he can’t play lacrosse anymore. Tate supposes that could work but he doesn’t think they could trust Sophia to keep her mouth shut and he still thinks it would be a mistake to underestimate Theresa’s ability to totally wreck his life. Holly guesses she doesn’t mind sneaking around a little longer and jokes that it makes it kind of exciting as they kiss. Holly says she doesn’t want to but she has to go since she has to say goodbye to Nicole, Jude, and Eric. Holly says it’s funny that she spent all this time hoping her mom would leave her alone, but now that she actually is, she’s really going to miss her, Eric, and Jude. Tate remarks that while Holly’s mom is going to Paris, his is probably going to prison. Tate says he’ll be fine as he’s used to his mom doing crazy, self-destructive things. Holly encourages that Theresa has a great family who loves her no matter what and she has Tate in her corner to be there for her. They kiss goodbye as Holly then leaves the cabin.

Andrew tells Theresa that he can’t be certain that EJ will agree to a deal but he can definitely make a case and considering how EJ feels right now about Nicole, the fact that Nicole hates her might work in her favor. Theresa agrees that she sees his point. Theresa knows she has royally screwed up, probably worse than ever before so she wants him to know how grateful she is that he wants to help her, but she doesn’t understand why. Andrew reminds Theresa of when he took their dad’s car out for a drive when they were little and wrecked it, pointing out that he committed a few felonies of his own that night. Andrew recalls Shane going to read him the riot act when Theresa suddenly came in and took the blame. Theresa says she was always the one doing awful things so she didn’t think it would matter if she did one more. Andrew then gets a call from Shane and jokes that he must have known they were talking about him. Andrew goes to answer the call but Theresa asks to take it and answers.

Kate tells Roman that she would think after all the drama Holly had this summer, Nicole wouldn’t want to let her out of sight. Roman says that not all of the drama was Holly’s making and Nicole doesn’t want to move her halfway around the world. Roman adds that he’s sure Maggie will keep an eye on her. Kate jokes that she wouldn’t want a teenager living under her roof. Roman says they paid their dues raising Sami and Lucas. Kate comments that she’s glad to be restricting her drama to the television screen these days. Roman calls that incredible that she got the rights to Body and Soul and says he’s proud of her. Kate thanks him and says she’s proud of herself since it all seems to be coming together as Abe is casting as they speak.

Marlena calls it a flattering offer but says she couldn’t shoot a TV show with her schedule. Kayla feels the same as Chief of Staff at the hospital. Abe understands but says they can shoot around their schedules and do some location shooting at the hospital. Kayla appreciates it but says she will have to pass. Marlena passes as well and says she’s sure Abe can find somebody else for the roles. Marlena, Kayla, and Abe then each get a text from Kate about Eric and Nicole’s going away party at the Pub. Kayla asks where they are going. Marlena says she’ll explain on the way. Abe says that will give him a chance to change their minds.

Eric and Nicole lay in bed after having sex. Nicole jokes that this time they weren’t high on biscuits. Nicole then realizes they are both still married to other people so they just committed adultery and she doesn’t feel a bit guilty. Eric feels the same and kisses her. Nicole tells Eric that she loves him. Eric says he loves her too as they continue kissing.

Theresa thanks Shane and says she loves him too as she hangs up. Theresa then calls Tate from Andrew’s phone.

Marlena, Kayla, and Abe go to the Brady Pub. Kate asks if she’s looking at the new stars of Body and Soul. Kayla says she’s afraid not while Marlena calls it a flattering offer. Abe confirms they turned him down. Kate says she’s disappointed but not surprised since they are asking two doctors to give up all their free time. Kayla says she’s sure there will be plenty of other people wanting the roles. Abe encourages Kate that can still play Lorna DeLorean but Kate questions the idea of producing the show and starring in it too. Abe tells Kayla and Marlena that he’s not giving up on them. Kayla goes to get a drink. Roman approaches Marlena and says he’s going to miss Eric and Jude so much. Marlena mentions trying to contact Brady to invite him but he didn’t respond. Roman points out that Eric and Nicole didn’t give them much notice. Marlena says it would’ve been nice to have a large group there for them, especially since John and Steve are still in Europe. Holly arrives and says she’s sorry she’s late. Roman says that Eric and Nicole are still upstairs packing but should be down soon. Holly mentions that she can’t stay long since she has the dinner shift at the Bistro. Marlena asks if they are working her too hard over there but Holly says she doesn’t mind being busy, joking that it keeps her out of trouble. Roman tells Holly that he knows Eric and Nicole are going to miss her like crazy, but they are very happy that she’s staying in Salem. Eric and Nicole then come downstairs, surprised to see everybody as they all hug them.

Theresa asks Tate how camp is. Tate says it’s okay but he read about what happened at the wedding. Theresa figured he would and confirms it’s all true that she got arrested and is at the police station now. Tate says he’ll come there right now but Theresa says no since Andrew is with him. Tate realizes that’s why she has his phone and asks what is going to happen to her. Theresa thinks she might be going to prison.

Eric says they didn’t have to do all of this. Roman says they just wanted to celebrate them both as they head out to celebrate their new life together. Marlena calls for a toast to Eric and Nicole, talking about they weathered so many storms to be together. Marlena encourages that they are so proud of them. Marlena talks about how long Eric has wanted to be a father and he finally has his beautiful baby boy and the woman he loves, who happens to be the mother of that baby so dreams do come true. Marlena says they will miss them but there will be lots of calls and video chats. Marlena hopes that they get to come back sometime soon, but until then, they wish them love and peace on this amazing journey together. Marlena toasts to her son Eric and the love of his life, Nicole. Eric and Nicole look at each other and flash back to various moments in their past. Eric and Nicole then kiss as everyone around them cheers. Abe hugs Nicole and tells her that he’s going to miss her so much. Nicole tells Abe to come visit next time he visits Theo. Marlena hugs Eric and guesses saying goodbye never gets easier. Eric knows he’s made her do it more than she’d like. Marlena wants him to be happy. Eric says he finally is. Roman questions if he has to be happy halfway around the world. Eric assures he will miss them both a lot as they hug. Nicole hugs Holly and says she really hates leaving her. Holly says they can video chat every day and assures she will be fine. Holly tells Nicole that she’s sorry for all the time she was hard on her or mad at her, calling her a wonderful person and a great mom. Holly knows she’s had so much loss and sadness in her life and she’s so proud of how strong she’s been through all of it. Nicole thanks her and says she’s proud of her too for her strength and kindness. Nicole cries that she just wants Holly to have a great life. Holly hopes the same for Nicole, Eric, and Jude, saying that Nicole and Eric were meant for each other as they hug goodbye. Holly promises to be good for Maggie and to come see her as soon as they are settled.

Tate asks if Theresa really thinks she’s going to prison. Theresa hopes it doesn’t come to that and says that Andrew is trying to make a deal for her, but if he doesn’t, she wants him to know she will be okay. Theresa adds that she realizes she’s been really hard on Tate and she’s so proud of him. Theresa says that Tate has really stepped up and owned up to his mistakes as she knows he didn’t want to go but she also knows he’s working really hard at lacrosse camp. Theresa says that Tate has been honest about where he went wrong and really set an example for her which is part of the reason she turned herself in. Tate then tells her that he has to tell her something. Theresa says to let her say something first about Holly. Theresa then tells Tate that when he comes back from camp, if he wants to see Holly, she’s not going to do anything to stop him as she trusts him and loves him so much. Tate responds that he loves her too and he’s really proud of her. Theresa thanks him and says goodbye as they hang up. Andrew then returns to the interrogation room.

Eric and Nicole say goodbye to Abe, Kate, Kayla, Holly, Marlena, and Roman as they exit the Pub with Jude for the final time. Marlena says she was as strong as she could be and is now going to have a really good cry. Roman encourages those to be happy tears. Abe points out that Eric and Nicole are together which is the way it should be. Abe remarks that art imitates life like in Body and Soul where people leave but they almost always come back.

Nicole and Eric look over Jude as he sleeps outside the Pub. Nicole says Jude must be having good dreams while Eric feels he’s the one dreaming as he asks if this is really happening. Nicole says it is and if it’s not, she doesn’t want to wake up. Eric asks if she’s ready to go. Nicole responds that she’s never been more ready as they kiss. Eric and Nicole then walk off with Jude, leaving Salem.

In the town square, Holly tells Nicole there’s no way she’s moving to Paris, arguing that her friends and her entire life are here in Salem. Nicole knows it’s a lot to take in and a big adjustment, but says it’s very important that they leave Salem because EJ is vowing to make life Hell for her and Eric, so if they stay, that’s exactly what he will do.

Eric brings Jude to the Brady Pub where he greets Justin. Eric tells Justin that he heard about the wedding and he’s sorry. Justin calls it definitely life changing that thanks to Theresa, he spent the past year thinking Victor lied to him and Alex wasn’t his son but he’s thankful it turned out to be one big, terrible lie.

Brady tells Alex that he can’t say he’s shocked that Theresa took off because it’s what she does in making a mess, then leaving everyone else to clean it up. Brady wouldn’t be surprised if Theresa got the hell out of dodge for good, but Theresa then walks in and tells Brady he’s wrong. Brady says he stands corrected. Alex questions why she isn’t gone. Theresa admits she considered fleeing town and went all the way to the airport gate, but she realized she couldn’t do it. Theresa declares that she had to come back and take responsibility for what she’s done.

Xander goes home to find Maggie which he says he didn’t expect. Maggie explains that Sarah asked her to watch Victoria. Xander questions where Sarah is as he thought she had the day off and they were going to plan their honeymoon. Maggie says she doesn’t know and that Sarah just said she had to take care of something and didn’t say when she would be back. Maggie notes that Xander seems anxious and asks if there’s something else. Xander responds that there’s something he needs to tell Sarah and it affects Maggie too.

At the Salem Inn, Sarah questions Fiona being unsure that Xander should be getting married at all. Fiona says that Xander just found out he’s Victor’s son and heir to his fortune, so he needs to make sense of all that before he can settle down. Sarah questions if Fiona thinks she’s after his money. Fiona says she didn’t mean to imply that she’s some kind of gold digger like Theresa. Sarah question why she objects to Xander getting married then. Fiona doesn’t think Xander should be making major life decisions right now when he has so much to process. Sarah tells her that she and Xander have been in love for years and have a beautiful daughter. Sarah says she and Victoria provide Xander with stability that he needs. Fiona says it’s nothing personal and that she’s just trying to look after her son’s best interests. Sarah questions Fiona being so protective and full of motherly advice after all this time. Fiona knows she has no right to act like his mother since she lied to him and abandoned him. Sarah knows Fiona had a drinking problem but questions why she was completely out of Xander’s life for all that time. Fiona calls it a long story. Sarah says she has time and she’d really like to hear it.

Maggie tells Xander that she can’t believe that Theresa kidnapped Victoria. Xander says she didn’t admit to it but it all adds up. Xander adds that Theresa did tell him that he can’t prove anything which is criminal code for she did it. Xander mentions trying to drag her to the police station but she wouldn’t go. Maggie asks if she got away then. Xander informs her that he went straight to EJ to put a warrant out for Theresa’s arrest.

Alex asks what Theresa’s angle is this time. Theresa tells him there is no angle as she got to the airport gate and was ready to board, but she just realized she couldn’t run away again so she had to come back and explain herself to him. Alex screams at her that she destroyed his life and calls her sick for making him believe he was Victor’s son and that he inherited a fortune. Alex yells that he doesn’t even know who he is anymore, so he questions what possible explanation she has for what she put him through. Theresa cries that she knows what she’s done to him, but she thought she was doing him a favor.

Justin tells Eric that it’s been one long crazy turn of events raising Alex as his son and then thinking he was Victor’s son, but learning he was his son after all. Justin says he and Eric have both really been through it, bringing up EJ trying to keep Eric from his child so he wouldn’t lose Nicole and calls that terrible. Justin says at least it’s all over now but Eric says not quite yet as EJ has been causing problems for he and Nicole. Eric then realizes that Justin may be able to help him.

Holly asks Nicole if she’s just going to let EJ run her out of town. Nicole complains that EJ was threatening their whole family. Holly questions how he’s going to hurt her. Nicole says that she and Eric just think it’s better if they leave and get out of EJ’s crosshairs. Nicole feels that after everything that’s happened, it would be best for them to have a fresh start. Holly responds that she gets that it would be good for Nicole and Eric, so she supports it, but she’s not leaving and she’s staying right here.

Justin asks Eric how he can help. Eric reminds Justin that EJ was his divorce attorney and suggested he do a publication divorce since Sloan was on the run. Justin says he didn’t steer him wrong there. Justin tells Eric that he’d be happy to take his case and will get him divorced in no time. Eric thanks him and says he really appreciates it but he wishes Nicole’s divorce could be that easy.

Nicole tells Holly that she can’t stand the idea of them living apart. Nicole knows she might not need her mom around but says she needs Holly around. Holly says she doesn’t want to live apart either but points out that they knew she was going away to college in a year. Nicole says that’s still another year she would have her close to her. Holly argues that they can video chat every night but she needs to be in Salem for prom, homecoming, and graduation. Nicole argues that they have those in Paris while Holly argues that she doesn’t know anybody there and needs to have those experiences here with her friends. Nicole guesses by friends, she means Tate.

Alex asks Theresa how upending his life was doing him a favor. Theresa talks about reading through Victor’s will and thinking it was so unfair that Xander was going to come in to all this money. Theresa argues that Xander didn’t deserve it but Alex did because he’s a good, decent man, so she thought he deserved the inheritance. Brady points out that was not for Theresa to decide. Alex declares that Theresa was not thinking about him, but herself as always. Theresa cries that in her mind, they were both getting what they wanted and says she never wanted him to get hurt. Alex tells her not to pretend to care about his feelings. Theresa tries to say she does care about him and that she loves him. Alex shouts that Theresa doesn’t know love and calls her a con that came after him for money. Alex declares that he does not want to see or hear from Theresa ever again. Alex adds that he will be getting an annulment immediately, so it will be like their marriage never happened and he wishes he could say the same about their entire relationship. Alex then walks out of the room, leaving Theresa in tears as Brady comments on that going well.

Maggie tells Xander that it’s unbelievable that Theresa was a kidnapper on top of everything else. Xander vows that she won’t get away with it. Maggie talks about Theresa playing God with so many people’s lives and knowing that Xander was Victor’s son but never saying a word. Xander remarks that at least his mom had the guts to tell him while Victor only told him after death. Maggie states that she knows he’s hurt but insists that Victor said in his will that he planned to tell Xander when he got back from Greece. Xander feels that still doesn’t change the fact that Victor treated him like dirt for his whole life and questions how he could do that to his own son.

After Fiona finishes telling her story to Sarah, Sarah tells her that she’s sorry as she didn’t know and points out that Xander doesn’t know any of it. Sarah encourages Fiona to tell him. Fiona feels Xander won’t want to hear from her but Sarah thinks he will. Fiona says she knows she has no right to ask, but says maybe he would listen if it came from Sarah.

Maggie wishes she could give Xander some concrete answers or explain away all the years of cruelty. Maggie acknowledges that Victor was very hard on him but she thinks it’s because he reminded Victor so much of himself. Xander jokes that it turns out people were right all these years when they called him a bastard. Maggie suggests it could be another reason that Victor was so hard on him and his own feelings about betraying his own brother. Xander says all he ever wanted was for Victor to be proud of and respect him. Xander wanted Victor to know that getting him out of his legal problems wasn’t a mistake. Xander complains that Brady and Philip were Victor’s golden boys and he was nothing more than the black sheep of the family. Maggie won’t condone what Victor did, but says she’s certain that Victor loved him and asks why else he would give half his fortune to him. Xander calls it guilt but Maggie believes that Victor was finally trying to make things right. Xander asks if she really thinks Victor loved him. Maggie says yes, just like she does. Maggie declares that she can’t wait to be his mother in law again as she hugs him. Sarah comes in and says she’s sorry to interrupt. Xander tells her that they were just talking about Victor. Maggie says she should get going. Sarah thanks her for watching Victoria. Xander thanks her for everything as they hug. Maggie then exits. Xander then asks where Sarah has been. Sarah responds that while Xander was with her mom, she was with his.

Fiona pours a drink in her room and declares that Xander needs to understand, so she hopes that Sarah can get through to him.

Eric tells Justin about the idea of he and Nicole leaving town in hopes that EJ would lose interest. Justin says he would hate to see them go, but he certainly understands why they feel the need to. Justin asks if he’d like him to see what he can do to push through Nicole’s divorce. Eric says that Nicole’s lawyer is already working on it. Eric then tells Justin that he should go get packing. Justin wishes Eric the best of luck with his new life and family. Eric says he’ll be in touch as he heads to his room with Jude. As Justin sits back down, Alex arrives at the Pub and greets him. Alex says he got Justin’s text that he would be there if he wanted to talk. Justin is glad he came and knows that he has a lot on his mind. Alex responds that what he’s been thinking the most is that he owes Justin an apology.

Theresa supposes that Brady hates her as much as Alex does now. Brady responds that he doesn’t hate her but he’s so disappointed in her and he’s really concerned about how this will affect their son when Tate finds out that she screwed their family and was working with the man who killed his great grandfather. Theresa cries that Brady has to believe her when she tells him that when she met Konstantin in Greece, she thought he was just after some money that he thought Victor owed him and if she knew he was a psychopath, she never would’ve accepted his help in forging the letter or worked with him in the first place. Brady argues that what she’s saying is that if she knew Konstantin was a killer, she would’ve found another way to defraud the family. Theresa knows she’s really screwed up and she’s been reckless and dishonest. Theresa cries that she’s been living with that guilt for such a long time. Brady points out that it didn’t stop her from going ahead with her plan to screw Xander and getting herself a rich husband that she created. Theresa admits she went to some extremes and tells Brady that she did it because of him.

Holly tells Nicole that Tate’s parents sent him away to lacrosse camp so he’s not even here for the summer. Holly talks about growing up with Sophia and all her other friends so she wants to enjoy their final year together at Salem High. Holly adds that she gets that EJ is being a jerk and it’s probably best for Eric and Nicole to leave, but says that’s their drama and questions why she should have to suffer because of it. Nicole admits that she sees her point, but questions where Holly will live if she, Eric, and Jude move to Paris. Maggie then appears and suggests Holly live with her. Nicole explains to Maggie that in order to get out of EJ’s warpath, she and Eric have decided to move to Paris. Holly explains that she’s trying to convince Nicole not to uproot her away from her friends right before her senior year. Maggie says as long as it’s okay with Nicole, she would love to have Holly stay with her. Holly excitedly hugs Maggie and says she’s saving her life. Holly tells Nicole it’s the perfect solution since Maggie will look after her but then realizes that Theresa lives there and that Theresa hates her guts. Maggie responds that she doubts that will be an issue.

Brady questions Theresa creating a fake Kiriakis heir for his money to squander his wealth and saying it’s because of him. Theresa explains that when she came back to town for Victor’s funeral, she made it very clear that she wanted to be with Brady but he rejected her over and over and over again, so she took the cynical route and chose money and security over love. Theresa asks why it mattered since Brady didn’t want her. Brady calls it sad and very painful for him to admit that he’s realized recently that he did want her. Brady explains that he rejected her at first because he was in complete denial about his feelings for her and when they hooked up a month ago, he thought this was their shot but instead of figuring it out together, she just jumped ship immediately. Theresa tells Brady that he has no idea how much she wanted to be with him. Theresa says they hurt each other so much in the past that she didn’t want to get hurt again. Theresa wants Brady to know that she still loves him and she always will.

Justin tells Alex that what happened wasn’t his fault and that Theresa is the only one to blame. Alex acknowledges that Justin tried to warn him and he thought he knew better because he convinced himself he was Victor’s son and he was just like him, but he really just acted like a pompous ass. Alex admits it went to his head that Victor left him in charge and he was so caught up in thinking he was Victor’s son that he forgot all about the man who actually raised him, who he always looked up to. Alex adds that he and Justin said that nothing would change between them, but he screwed that all up and he’s so damn sorry. Alex hopes that Justin can forgive him. Justin says only if Alex can forgive him.

Fiona continues drinking in her room and checks her phone.

Xander asks Sarah why she went to see his mom. Sarah says she wanted Fiona to know that whenever they reschedule their wedding, she’s still invited. Xander questions why he’d want her there when she basically lied to him for his entire life. Sarah states that there were circumstances like her drinking problem. Xander questions that being an excuse and feels that should help her tel the truth. Xander argues that Fiona had multiple chance over the years to tell him and when he did really need her, she totally abandoned him. Sarah then reveals that Fiona did not willingly abandon him and explains that Fiona disappeared for years because she had a nervous breakdown and was committed to an institution. Xander questions Fiona telling her that. Sarah confirms that Fiona said she was there for a few years and worked really hard to get sober, then when she eventually got released, Xander was gone and she couldn’t find him. Sarah says that Fiona eventually learned taht Victor put him to work, so she thought he’d be better off and backed off. Sarah adds that Fiona didn’t entirely love the idea of Xander getting close to Victor since he loved Titus as his father and she didn’t want that underminded by the truth. Xander argues that she should’ve known he could’ve handled it. Sarah says that Fiona thought she was doing what’s best for him. Xander questions considering this when he has no reason to believe a word Fiona says. Sarah understands she doesn’t want to trust her but insists that Fiona did seem sincere.

Fiona sends a text message and says she hopes that does the trick.

Alex questions Justin wanting him to forgive him when he’s been a saint through the whole process. Justin disagrees and says he was angry with Victor and Anjelika which he took out on Alex when he should’ve been more patient and understanding. Alex acknowledges that Justin tried to be there for him but he wasn’t having it and he knows how much that must have hurt him. Justin understands that Alex was going through a lot but he couldn’t understand how Victor could lie to him all those years, but now it all makes sense that he didn’t. Justin says it’s like a huge weight has been lifted and now that they know the truth, he hopes they can start to rebuild their relationship. Alex still thinks his behavior pales in comparison to his. They agree to forgive each other.

Theresa tells Brady that if she could go back in time and listen to her heart, maybe they would be together now. Brady guesses they will never know. Theresa cries that she’s so sorry. Brady says he is too. Brady adds that as much as he does still love her and probably always will, this is just another sign that they weren’t meant to be. Brady says goodbye to Theresa and then exits. Theresa holds back tears as she looks up at the portrait of Victor and declares that she really screwed things up. Maggie walks in and agrees that she did. Theresa tells Maggie that she’s glad she’s there because she wants to apologize to her even though she knows what she did was so terrible and that Maggie has no reason to forgive her. Theresa tells Maggie that she never should’ve let Konstantin go after her money and swears that she didn’t know he planned to kill her or that he was that dangerous. Maggie responds that Theresa is pretty dangerous herself, since she helped him kidnap her granddaughter.

Holly tells Nicole that she can’t believe Tate’s mom did all those horrible things. Nicole remarks that maybe it’s a good thing that Tate is away for the summer. Nicole tells Holly that she hates the idea of moving to Paris and leaving her behind but she likes the idea of Maggie looking after her. Nicole and Holly say how much they will miss each other. Holly tells Nicole that she and Eric deserve a chance to be happy together. Nicole decides she needs to go tell Eric that only three of them are going. Nicole tells Holly that she will see her tonight to say their goodbyes as they hug. Nicole then heads to the Brady Pub and to Eric’s room. Eric asks how it went with Holly. Nicole informs him that it wasn’t great since Holly doesn’t want to go to Paris with them and miss her senior year with her friends. Nicole says she understands but it breaks her heart. Eric asks what they are going to do and where Holly will live. Nicole informs him that Maggie offered to take her in. Eric asks how Nicole feels about that. Nicole admits that she’s heartbroken and will miss Holly like crazy, but she knows she needs to respect what Holly wants. Nicole wants to think maybe Holly would change her mind or they would eventually move back but she doesn’t know with EJ being so determined to cause them problems. Eric mentions running in to Justin, who said he could help them with at least one of their problems.

Alex tells Justin that they are good again which makes him very happy. Alex declares that now that they are father and son again, he guesses it’s time for him to start putting the rest of the pieces of his life back together again, starting with emptying his office out at Titan. Alex assumes Xander will take over that position so he’ll have to find another job. Justin suggests maybe Xander will keep him on in some capacity. Alex doubts that and guesses he will also have to figure out how to give back Victor’s money too. Justin says he will help him with that and anything else he needs. Alex thanks him and tells him that he loves him. Justin says he loves him too as they hug.

Sarah tells Xander that she’s sorry if she overstepped but she does think now that the truth is out, he and Fiona could repair their relationship. Xander thanks her and appreciates her trying but feels it will take a lot for him to trust Fiona again. Xander decides it’s fine if she wants to come to the wedding. Sarah thanks him for being willing to try. Sarah understands how difficult it would be for him to trust anyone after everything Theresa put him through. Xander responds that she doesn’t know the half of it as Theresa didn’t just pull off an identity switch, she did something horrendous to both of them.

Theresa guesses Maggie spoke to Xander, which she confirms. Theresa insists that she didn’t want to help Konstantin kidnap Victoria but she was so in over her head that she didn’t have a choice. Maggie says that’s because she didn’t want him to expose her own nefarious plot. Theresa assures that Victoria was never in any danger. Maggie says even so, what she did was reprehensible. Theresa cries that she knows and that Maggie was so good to her, but this is how she repays her. Theresa understands if forgiveness is out of the question, but says she needs to ask Maggie for help one last time. Maggie says she can’t be serious. Theresa pleads with her to drive her to the police station so she can do the right thing for once and turn herself in. Theresa asks Maggie to come with her so she doesn’t change her mind.

Brady shows up at Fiona’s room at the Salem Inn and says he got her text and he could absolutely use a drink. Brady comes in and they toast to Hell with it as they each take a drink.

Update written by Joseph

Holly joins Tate at the Horton Cabin on Smith Island and they kiss. They talk about missing each other as Tate shows her that he made her lunch and got her flowers. Tate asks about her trip over. Holly says that Nicole took Jude to work and then she took the ferry to the island and that no one knows she’s there. Holly then gets a call from Nicole.

EJ is on the phone at the DiMera Mansion, saying he told them that he’s working from home and he needs the case files delivered immediately. EJ hangs up as Eric then storms in and demands that EJ sign his divorce papers.

Alex sits in the living room of the Kiriakis Mansion, looking up at the portrait of Victor. Sarah comes in and asks how he’s doing. Alex asks how she thinks as he just found out his whole life was a lie, again.

Theresa goes to the airport and hears the plane will begin boarding in five minutes. Theresa turns around and runs in to Xander, who asks if she’s going somewhere.

Brady wakes up in a room at the Salem Inn to see Fiona, who tells him that they had quite the night last night. Brady says he’s sorry as he was pretty drunk last night. Fiona says she was too as they had several martinis and Brady was drinking even before she came to his table. Brady guesses that explains why he doesn’t recall coming back to the Salem Inn. Fiona explains that it’s her room and Brady said he didn’t want to go home in his condition which Brady calls his one good decision. Brady then asks Fiona if they slept together. Fiona responds that they certainly did.

Theresa questions how Xander found her. Xander knew she would try to skulk out of town after what she did and questions where she’s going. Theresa asks what he wants. Xander wants answers. Theresa says she said everything she had to say at the wedding. Xander says it wasn’t enough as he wants to know why she changed the name in the letter to deny him his birthright. Xander asks if she really hates him that much. Theresa says she does and then some.

Tate suggests Holly ignore the call but Holly says she tried but Nicole was calling the entire time she was on the ferry so she might get paranoid and try to come find her. Holly then answers the call. Nicole asks where she is as she’s been trying to reach her for an hour. Holly claims she’s working a lunch shift at the Bistro. Nicole thought she was working dinners but Holly says she’s covering for someone. Nicole says she’s sorry to bother her at work. Holly asks if something is up. Nicole says she needs to see her after work. Holly asks if everything is good. Nicole declares that they need to find a new place to leave ASAP because she doesn’t want to be anywhere near EJ.

EJ mocks Eric working as Nicole’s courier. Eric asks if he’s going to sign the divorce papers or not. EJ asks what he’s so angry about. Eric says about a million things, starting with EJ stealing his son. EJ remarks that Eric brought the boy over himself and said that he was his. Eric argues that’s what Sloan said but EJ knew that was a lie because he helped her get away with it. EJ argues that Sloan is fully capable of making her own decisions, even bad ones like marrying Eric. Eric yells at him to shut up and talks about EJ accepting Jude when he brought him over, knowing that he was suffering. Eric declares that now EJ is the one who is going to suffer.

Alex pours a drink as Sarah asks what the worst part is. Alex calls that an excellent question since there’s so many good choices. Alex talks about feeling stupid for not realizing that Theresa had been lying to him this entire time or the fact that he treated Justin the way that he did. Alex guesses the worst might be just not being who he thought he was. Sarah remembers how confusing for him when he thought Victor was his dad. Alex says putting aside the money and the CEO position, it was thinking that Victor lied to him for his entire life. Alex talks about trying to embrace his new identity to honor Victor’s legacy but it turned out none of that was true either, so suddenly his entire life is turned upside down again. Sarah knows he doesn’t care but says that Xander is feeling the same way.

Xander questions if Theresa’s answer is that she hated him so much. Theresa admits that’s not the only reason she did it. Xander argues that it always has to be about her since she saw the opportunity to steal from him, give it to Alex, and she could still enjoy the spoils. Xander says Theresa made Alex the heir and then her husband and the truth may never have come out if Bonnie didn’t mail the invitation to Fiona. Theresa cries that it did come out and now it’s all come crashing down. Xander then hears on the intercom that Theresa’s plane is leaving for New York. Theresa asks if they are done since she really needs to go. Xander asks if Alex is annulled the marriage or if she even cares since his net worth has dropped so significantly. Xander hopes she doesn’t think she will get away with this, pointing out that Konstantin is dead so she’s the only one left to take the fall. Xander then realizes that Konstantin was her accomplice but she was his too when she kidnapped his baby.

Brady asks Fiona again if they slept together. Fiona clarifies that they shared the bed but that’s all. Fiona says she had a very good time with him at the Pub and has no complaints. Brady wishes it wasn’t such a blur and points out that he doesn’t even know her last name. Fiona then reveals it’s Cook. Brady hopes that’s no relation to Xander. Fiona informs Brady that Xander is her son, causing Brady to spit out his water in shock.

Nicole mentions going to check out an apartment. Holly asks Nicole if she can’t just go by herself. Nicole responds that she can but Holly is going to be living there too, so she wants her to have a say in it. Nicole says she’s asking her for help starting a new life together and asks her not to argue with her on this. Holly tells her that she’s working a double today. Nicole apologizes and says she’s just really stressed out as she’s trying to make a clean break from EJ but he’s refusing to sign the divorce papers. Holly admits she didn’t know that. Nicole adds that things at work are crazy, so it’s something she really wants them to do together as she kind of needs it right now. Holly then agrees to meet her between shifts so they can look at a few places together. Nicole says that’s great and agrees to pick her up as soon as she finishes at work. Holly hangs up and tells Tate that she has to go meet Nicole to look at a few apartments, but she doesn’t have to go until before her actual dinner shift covering for Sophia. Tate says he’s sorry about that since it was the only way to stop Sophia from telling on them. Holly calls it a small price to pay for them to be together as they kiss.

EJ tells Eric that Sloan is the one who started all of this and asks why he doesn’t take it up with her. Eric says that’s because EJ helped her get away with it. EJ thinks he’s mistaken. Eric brings up when Sloan came over and begged Nicole to forgive her. EJ says he remembers Sloan attacking him. Eric argues that Sloan is half his size but still managed to get away. EJ argues that she had the element of surprise. Eric tells him to save it for the police because he’s going to prison. EJ responds that he’s the district attorney, so he’d like to point out that you generally need proof to charge someone with a crime and he has none. Eric says not yet, but he will get locked up and pay for what he did. EJ says he’d like to see him try. Eric tells EJ to be a real man and sign the divorce papers. EJ says no. Eric asks why not and if he thinks Nicole is actually going to forgive him. Eric tells EJ that Nicole is never going to come back to him. EJ says perhaps, but she’s never getting away from either. EJ then tears the divorce papers up. Eric asks if he really thinks he can stop a divorce by tearing up a copy. EJ says maybe not but he can certainly delay it. Eric asks why he’d want to. EJ says it would make their lives Hell and it’s already working. Eric calls him a piece of garbage. EJ warns Eric not to antagonize him or he might prosecute Marlena for assault after she came over and slapped him. Eric says that’s the least of what he deserves. EJ remarks that they’ll see when Marlena is sitting in a jail cell. Eric argues that no judge will send Marlena to jail for slapping him. EJ responds that he was just using that as an example because he can hurt Eric in all sorts of ways which Eric questions. EJ then says he’s curious if Holly knows that Eric killed her father.

Holly and Tate have lunch together in the Horton Cabin and talk about the freedom of not having to worry about someone bursting in on them. Tate talks about Aaron agreeing to pretend to be him at lacrosse camp and Sophia keeping her mouth shut, they should have at least a month together. Holly asks if he’s not worried about his mom figuring out he’s not at camp. Tate says he’s not because he thinks Theresa is married to Alex now and rich, so she’s probably off on some insane honeymoon somewhere…

Alex tells Sarah that she’s right that he doesn’t care what Xander is feeling because he’s about to get everything he ever wanted, so he questions what Xander has to be upset about. Sarah argues that Alex just talked about his life being turned upside down and feels for Xander, it’s worse which Alex questions. Sarah complains that Alex knows Victor always treated Xander like the hired help or an embarrassment to the Kiriakis name, unworthy and unwanted. Alex remarks that maybe that’s because it’s true. Sarah responds that he sounds a lot like Theresa.

Theresa tells Alex that it’s insane and asks why she would take his child. Xander argues that she was helping her partner in crime get back in Maggie’s good graces. Theresa calls that a tremendous story but untrue. Xander says she’s slipping as her lies are not believable anymore. Xander remarks that it’s a good thing his mom showed up to expose her as the fraud she is.

Brady questions Fiona being Xander’s mother and can’t believe he slept in the same bed with her. Brady tells Fiona that he and her son have history and he thought she was out of the picture. Fiona explains they were out of touch but out of the blue, she was invited to his wedding. Brady questions if she was there. Fiona says she showed up late while Brady says he was there, but left early. Fiona tells Brady that he missed quite the show since thanks to her, Xander found out he had been tricked out of his birthright which Brady questions. Fiona asks if Brady knows who Victor Kiriakis was. Brady informs her that Victor was his grandfather. Fiona supposes the secret is out now and reveals that Xander is Victor’s long lost son which Brady questions. Fiona says it’s true and that Victor left half of everything in his estate to Xander. Brady tells her that was Alex and how it was revealed in a letter written by Anjelica. Fiona says it turned out that Anjelica didn’t write that letter, she did. Brady asks what the hell she’s talking about. Fiona explains that she’s the one who had an affair with Victor resulting in a child and someone tampered with her signature in the letter. Brady asks who would do that. Fiona says apparently Alex’s bride which shocks Brady.

Theresa tells Xander that she’s done with this conversation. Xander brings up Konstantin going on and on about how he was still in the dark about something and he was about to reveal who his accomplice was but Theresa elbowed him in the gut. Xander adds that Konstantin used his last breath to say there was still an enemy in their midst. Theresa claims that was because Konstantin knew she forged the letter and that it had nothing to do with the kidnapping. Xander grabs her by the arm and declares he’s taking her to the police station.

Alex tells Sarah that a pen is all it took to change one name to another and all of their lives are never the same. Sarah tells Alex that she’s really sorry as he didn’t deserve that. Alex says it’s not her fault, but thanks her and admits it’s not Xander’s fault either. Alex says if anything, he should be thanking them for inviting Xander’s mother to the wedding because if she never showed up, they may have never known the truth.

Fiona tells Brady that Theresa forged the letter, depriving Xander of his rightful inheritance. Brady questions what she was thinking. Fiona says it seems there was bad blood between them and that Theresa wanted Alex to be the heir. Brady says he suspected that Theresa went through the briefcase but he just assumed that she read the letter and found out that Alex was the heir. Fiona states that she made him the heir and then questions how Brady knows Theresa. Brady then reveals that she is his ex-wife and the mother of his son. Fiona calls it a small world. Brady welcomes her to Salem and says he has to get going. Fiona says it was nice spending time with him. Brady wishes he could say the same but he doesn’t remember. Fiona asks him not to say anything about this since she’s not supposed to be drinking. Brady says he’s not either and agrees not to say anything. Fiona suggests maybe they can do this again sometime. Brady says maybe as he gathers his things and exits.

Theresa tells Xander to get his hands off of her and threatens to scream for security to come take him down. Xander lets her go. Theresa tells him that he can think whatever he wants of her but claims she had nothing to do with the kidnapping. Xander warns that she’s not going to get away with this. Theresa compares it to Xander kidnapping Bonnie and Susan. Xander responds that he’s admitted to all of his crimes, but it’s good that she knows how dangerous he can be and that was before he had unlimited resources. Xander tells her that she can get on the plane and fly to the ends of the Earth, but no matter where she runs, she can’t hide from him. Xander then storms off.

EJ knows how much Holly cares about Eric and she’s aware that a drunk driver killed her father, but he wonders how she will feel when she finds out that drunk driver was Eric. Eric questions if he really wants to do that to her. EJ says no, but he does want to do it to Eric. Eric asks even if that means ruining her relationship with her mother because they know she would blame Nicole for keeping that from her. EJ questions why that’s his problem. Eric says as much as EJ hates him or even Nicole, Holly has never done a thing to him. EJ responds that he’s not the one who killed her father. Eric asks if he really wants to cause Holly that much more pain after all she’s been through. EJ then agrees not to tell Holly that Eric is a drunken murderer and that he will instead focus on tormenting him and Nicole by tying Nicole up in court for years and make Eric testify to the fact that Nicole cheated on him with Eric. Eric argues that they were drugged. EJ asks about the night Eric kissed her after gallantly bringing her home from the bar. Eric declares he’s done with him. EJ stops him to warn him that he’s still married to Sloan, which Eric questions. EJ claims he forgot to file his divorce papers as it just slipped his mind. Eric tells EJ to enjoy his pathetic, lonely life. EJ responds that he’ll send him his bill as Eric storms out of the mansion.

Holly asks Tate if Theresa is a billionaire now. Tate says she’s married to one which Holly calls basically the same thing. Tate says he never thought about it that way and compares it to Nicole marrying EJ. Holly says even if that were the case, she doubts Nicole would think it’s worth it. Tate asks about Holly getting along with EJ. Holly says she did before he lied to them about Jude and now Nicole is leaving him but EJ is refusing to divorce her. Tate questions if you can do that and calls it kind of shady. Holly asks if Tate likes Alex. Tate says he seems like a good guy and thinks Theresa even loves him. Holly comments that he’s definitely hot for an older guy. Holly says maybe if Theresa gets her happily ever after, she will stop trying to ruin theirs. Tate promises that she won’t be ruining anything today as they kiss until Holly says she has to go so she can get to the Bistro before Nicole does. Tate asks for a few more minutes as they continue kissing. Holly worries that if she doesn’t go now, she’ll never leave. Holly then agrees to stay for five more minutes as they continue kissing.

Eric goes to the Spectator office and tells Nicole how much it brightens his day to see her and Jude. Nicole asks if he had a rough day. Eric informs her that he went to see EJ. Nicole questions why. Eric says he tried to talk him in to signing the divorce papers but he has no shame and tore them up. Eric adds that EJ said he was going to make their lives a living Hell and then threatened to go after Marlena for slapping him and that he was going to tell Holly that he was the driver that killed Daniel but he talked him out of that, so EJ said he would drag out the divorce for years. Nicole tells Eric that she’s so sorry. Eric says it’s not her fault. Eric adds that EJ also informed him that he and Sloan are still married because he forgot to file the divorce papers. Nicole calls EJ a son of a bitch and asks what they do now. Eric asks what if they left Salem, suggesting he could still take the job in Paris so they could get far away from EJ and start a new life with Holly and Jude. Eric asks what she thinks.

Xander goes to the DiMera Mansion and asks EJ about being district attorney. EJ points out that this is not his office but Xander says this can’t wait. Xander wants Theresa charged with kidnapping his daughter and declares that she needs to be locked up for what she did to him and Sarah.

Sarah goes to Fiona’s hotel room which Fiona calls a surprise. Sarah calls the last 24 hours one big surprise. Fiona agrees and asks if she can help her with something. Sarah says she just wanted to come talk to her about everything. Fiona asks if she’s angry with her, mentioning that Xander is ignoring her calls. Sarah says that Xander is pretty overwhelmed with everything, but she comes with an invitation which Fiona questions. Sarah explains that they still plan to get married once everything settles down and it will just be something small at the Kiriakis Mansion, so they’d love it if she was there. Fiona is not sure that’s a good idea.

Brady goes to the Kiriakis Mansion where Alex is sitting in the living room, facing the portrait of Victor. Brady tells Alex that he heard the news. Alex thought he was at the wedding. Brady says he left early which Alex calls the right decision. Brady says it’s crazy and shocking as he can’t believe Theresa did this to him. Alex tells him to join the club. Brady asks where she is. Alex responds that Theresa packed up her stuff and left.

Theresa paces at the airport as the final call is made to board the plane to New York.

Sarah knows Xander was really harsh with Fiona but she thinks once Xander absorbs everything and calms down, he will want her at the wedding. Fiona clarifies that’s not what she meant by it being a bad idea so Sarah asks what she meant. Fiona says it’s not that she’s unsure that her son wants her at his wedding, but she’s not so sure that Xander should be getting married at all.

EJ tells Xander that it looks like Theresa is up to her old tricks. Xander asks if he will issue a warrant for her arrest then. EJ admits he’d love to let Theresa walk because of how much it would bother Nicole, but he has to uphold the law, so he will issue an arrest warrant immediately. Xander thanks EJ and then exits the mansion. EJ remarks that if only punishing Nicole were that easy.

Nicole walks to the town square and calls Eric, telling him that Holly is about to meet her there and thanks him for wishing her luck as she feels she’s going to need it. Nicole hangs up as Holly arrives and asks where their first apartment is to look at, mentioning she’d love to live by the water. Nicole responds that she was actually thinking farther and asks Holly what she thinks about Paris. Nicole explains that Eric invited her to come to Paris with him and she thought maybe it would be good for all of them but Holly declares there’s no way in Hell she’s leaving Salem and storms off.

Tate reads online in an article about what happened at the double wedding with the wrong heir being named and questions what Theresa has done.

Brady tells Alex that he can’t say he’s shocked that Theresa took off because it’s what she does in making a mess, then leaving everyone else to clean it up. Brady wouldn’t be surprised if Theresa got the hell out of dodge for good, but Theresa then walks in and tells Brady he’s wrong.

Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

Stephanie and Jada agree that it’s possible that “Everett” isn’t really Everett. Stephanie doesn’t get why Bobby would pretend to be Everett but then realizes it got him out of Bayview.

At the hospital, Bobby as “Everett” tells Kayla that it’s none of her business then apologizes for sounding rude. He talks about dealing with a serious mental illness and trying to get his life back on track while working under a new boss, so it’s been a really stressful time. He tells Kayla that worrying about Stephanie’s feelings just isn’t his top priority right now and apologizes again. He remarks that first he sounded rude and now he sounds insensitive. He repeats that he has to focus on his mental health and tells Kayla that he needs to get to a therapy appointment as he walks away.

Paulina is at home finishing a call. Abe walks in and asks what that was all about. Paulina complains that Everett has called her office four times looking for a statement on Rafe’s stabbing and when she finally got a chance to call back, he was unavailable. Abe encourages her to take it easy since “Everett” just got out of Bayview. Paulina says she just doesn’t need a reporter wasting her time when she’s dealing with a police commissioner in a coma. Paulina adds that she has not one single lead as to who put Rafe in a coma and that she also needs to appoint an interim police commissioner while Rafe is out. Abe asks who she is thinking of. Paulina calls Jada the best possible candidate so far but with Rafe in a coma, she imagines Jada wants to spend any free time at her bedside.

Connie sneaks in to Rafe’s hospital room and reaches towards his machines but Gabi walks in and questions what she is doing in there. Connie says that she saw the news about Rafe and the stabbing and she’s sorry to intrude but she feels so terrible about what happened to him. Gabi questions her knowing Rafe. Connie says she doesn’t personally but feels like she does because all the citizens of Salem feel grateful to Rafe for keeping their streets safe. Connie claims that she can’t believe someone would stab Rafe and that she came to visit him to see if she could help. Gabi tells Connie to cut the crap and tell her why she’s really there.

Abe is sure Paulina is right that Jada is focusing on Rafe and his recovery. Paulina says that Jada might want to put as much overtime on the job as she can to nail the bastard who attacked Rafe. Paulina says she plans on reaching out to Jada right before her appointment with Kayla. Abe encourages Paulina to take deep breaths so she doesn’t get another lecture on her blood pressure. Paulina says she’s not worried as she hasn’t felt this good in years, so she’s sure she will get an excellent report.

Stephanie brings up Marlena releasing “Everett” from Bayview. Jada says she was there and he was very convincing, so there was no way to think it wasn’t him. Jada suggests maybe he’s just a really good actor. Stephanie wonders why he’d be faking it now and what has changed. Jada thinks she has an idea.

Bobby goes to Marlena’s office which is empty and tells himself that being Everett is stressing him out and he’s not sure how much longer he can keep it up. Marlena then comes in and asks if he was talking to someone. He says just himself and jokes that it’s the first sign of insanity.

Connie tells Gabi that she got her and she’s not here because of Rafe, but because of Gabi.

Kate goes to see Abe, who says he’s eager to hear how things went in LA. Kate responds that it wrapped up a little sooner than she thought. Kate explains that the producers loved their proposal and thought the financials were solid and they were eager to continue the show but say they don’t have the means. Kate then reveals that they gave a resounding yes and announces that Body and Soul is now theirs as they excitedly hug.

Kayla sets Paulina up in a hospital room for her check up. Paulina asks if there’s any updates on Rafe but Kayla says unfortunately no. Kayla asks how Paulina is feeling. Paulina says physically she’s never been better. Kayla tells her that her test results are all excellent, but she does have one concern.

Gabi questions Connie saying she’s there because of her. Connie reminds her that she asked for her resume as Gabi Chic, so she wanted to bring her a hard copy and came up with some ideas for the business. Gabi questions Connie coming to her comatose brother’s hospital room, hoping to run in to her to give her a resume. Gabi argues that sounds nuts and tells Connie that this is getting creepy. Gabi adds that she never saw her until the other day but now every time she turns around, there she is. Gabi tells Connie that she does not have time for a stalker and tells her to leave now. Connie responds that she’s sorry but she can’t do that.

“Everett” asks Marlena if they can end their appointment early today. Marlena questions why they would do that. He claims to be really busy and that he has so much to do that his head is spinning. Marlena brings up that when he was released from Bayview, he assured that he was 100% dedicated to his recovery. He claims that he is but his stress level feels like it will impede his recovery more if he stays instead of just going home to deal with stuff and get his life in order. Marlena knows his job is important to him and his relationship with Stephanie is important, but says they have to agree that his treatment takes precedence. He respond that at least Stephanie won’t be an issue anymore because he broke up with her.

Stephanie and Jada wonder why Bobby was so eager to get out of Bayview. Jada talks about only visiting him because Stephanie asked her to. Stephanie asks about Bobby wanting to rekindle their relationship. Jada confirms that Bobby was coming on very strong and it felt the same in Rafe’s room which felt very strange because Everett never wanted anything to do with her. Stephanie says if it’s really Bobby, that would explain why he dumped her and let Jada know right away. Jada remembers being with Bobby when Everett supposedly re-emerged and it wasn’t until she was questioning him about Li Shin’s murder. They realize that if he’s still really Bobby, that means he knows who really killed Li Shin and he’s pretending to be Everett to cover up the truth.

Abe tells Kate that this is incredible and says he felt like he was mourning Body and Soul when it was cancelled. Kate stops him and says there is one major issue that could make the whole deal unravel.

Paulina tells Kayla that she’s had so many things wrong with her this year and asks if this is nothing major because she doesn’t think she can take any more bad news. Kayla tells her the good news is that they caught this before it turned in to bad news, so that makes it not that big of a deal. Kayla reveals that her cholesterol is moderately elevated. Paulina mentions her mother dealing with that and she’s now 93. Kayla brings up Paulina’s medical history. Paulina knows elevated bad cholesterol increases chances of a heart attack or stroke. Kayla says they need to get that level down, so Paulina asks how to do that. Kayla talks to her about a low fat diet. Paulina tells Kayla that she is not taking any meds.

Gabi questions Connie not leaving and threatens to call security. Connie explains that she won’t leave because Gabi needs her which she questions. Connie asks when Gabi last slept or ate, arguing that she has so much on her plate with Gabi Chic and getting her life back in order while now having to spend every free moment with Rafe. Connie says she can relieve her of that burden by being her assistant, adding that she’s offering her services for free as it would be her honor to serve her. Gabi repeats that she doesn’t have the time for this. Connie asks her to just think about it and goes to get Gabi some coffee.

Marlena questions “Everett” breaking up with Stephanie as she thought rekindling their relationship was one of the main reasons he wanted to be out of Bayview. He says that it was and he really likes Stephanie, but when he got out, he felt overwhelmed with work and therapy. He claims it didn’t feel fair to Stephanie to make her wait around until he’s mentally healthy. He adds that after their last session, he feels like he’s starting to feel some of Bobby’s feelings. Marlena notes that could be a sign of progress. He talks about being reluctant to face everything that happened in his past but now he thinks he’s ready and asks Marlena to hypnotize him again.

Stephanie wonders why Bobby would bring up Li Shin’s murder to her and then not tell her anything about it. Jada knows it’s strange and says Bobby was stringing her along until she threatened him with never seeing her again. Stephanie wonders if Bobby could have had something to do with Li’s murder. Jada doesn’t know and says at one point, she thought Bobby could never hurt a fly but she also thought he’d never be a liar. Jada then gets a call from the police station and instructs them not to give Everett Lynch anything on the investigation of Rafe’s stabbing or any leads either. Jada is shocked to learn that he called three times. Jada says she will handle it and hangs up, wondering what the hell is going on with him. Stephanie goes over Bobby being desperate to get Jada back and if he thinks that Rafe is the only thing standing in his way, maybe he’s also desperate to know the status of Rafe’s stabbing. Jada then wonders if Bobby could’ve been the one who did it.

Abe asks Kate what the problem is. Kate says they were always concerned about getting the original cast to relocate to Salem. Abe mentions recasting some of the minor characters. Kate informs him that the three main characters are impossible to relocate as two of them are contracted to other projects in LA while another is married to a makeup artist there. Abe asks why they can’t just fly them out when they need them. Kate says they don’t have the budget for that. Abe argues that the three female leads are iconic and the fans have loved them for decades, so it wouldn’t be Body and Soul without them.

Stephanie knows it sounds crazy to think that Bobby stabbed Rafe. They agree that it’s a huge leap, but Jada points out that the timing does check out since Rafe got stabbed after Bobby was released from Bayview. Jada adds that there are no other obvious suspects here. Stephanie remember seeing Bobby at his hotel room that day, so she could be his alibi. Jada asks if she remembers what time it was. Stephanie checks her phone and sees that Marlena called her at 3:07, so she was there in about 10 or 12 minutes. Jada notes that was after she found Rafe at the cemetery since she called the ambulance at 2:24, so if Bobby does have an alibi, it’s definitely not Stephanie.

Marlena begins hypnotizing “Everett” and says they will begin with the good memories of his mother. He recalls asking why his mom let him hurt him. Marlena questions who. He tells Marlena that he sees his father with the big belt buckle and screams for his dad to stop.

Gabi sits at Rafe’s side and wonders if he can hear her. Gabi recalls when they had breakfast the other day and praises him as her brother. Gabi pleads with Rafe to wake up so he can help identify who did this and they can wipe that scum off the Earth.

Connie goes to get Gabi’s coffee at the hospital and calls her a diva bitch, complaining that after she finds a way to get rid of Rafe, Gabi is going to pay for what she did to Li Shin.

Kayla questions Paulina not wanting to take medication. Paulina says she already takes pills for blood pressure and her thyroid so she wants no more. Kayla asks what if it’s not a pill and the benefits outweigh the risks. Paulina hates feeling like she’s crumbling inside as she thought her health problems were over. Kayla encourages with these measures, they will be over for quite some time. Paulina apologizes for being grumpy and complaining when not many people have been as lucky as she has. Kayla notes that she is important to a lot of people and loved by so many. Paulina asks her not to tell Abe about her giving her a hard time about the medication because he will lecture her. Kayla thinks that Abe would be proud of her for contemplating this. Paulina feels that Abe has been so preoccupied with Body and Soul that he hardly notices her, but at least it gives him something to do other than moaning about it being cancelled.

Abe tells Kate that he guesses their only answer is to recast the show. Kate questions doing that and says they don’t want to be a pale imitation of the show, unless they reimagine the entire thing. Kate suggests calling it the next generation and setting it in the future but Abe says that wouldn’t be his show. Kate knows it’s a lot and that casting is only part of it as they need directors, writers, and crew. Kate says they have a big learning curve ahead of them.

Connie brings Gabi her coffee and says she hopes Rafe wakes up soon so he can go back to work and maybe he can catch his own assailant. Connie tells Gabi that she’s her gal if she needs anything else. Gabi thanks her. Gabi then tells Connie that she looked at her ideas and was kind of blown away. Gabi adds that her resume is very impressive. Gabi admits that she could use someone like her right now on a trial basis. Connie declares that she will prove her worth to her and she can’t wait to get started.

Jada and Stephanie talk about Bobby possibly stabbing Rafe. Stephanie remembers that Bobby was getting out of the shower when she showed up and maybe he was getting rid of evidence. Jada then remembers that Bobby was reading a murder mystery in Bayview. Jada says it’s all speculation but she’s had stranger theories turn out to be true. Stephanie questions how to figure out if it is true.

Marlena brings “Everett” out of hypnosis and tells him that he’s safe as she asks him what happened. He says he just hasn’t remembered that until now. He tells Marlena that his father Robert Stein terrorized him and that must be why Bobby came out that day to protect him and stayed until now. He says now that he remembers everything, he doesn’t need Bobby to protect him anymore. He says he has Bobby’s memories and feelings, like he’s a complete person now. He says he should’ve done this months ago like Marlena encouraged him to but he was too scared. He calls it incredible and doesn’t know how he can ever thank Marlena, calling her a miracle worker.

Paulina runs in to Gabi at the hospital and says she’s so sorry for what she’s going through. Gabi says she just came from seeing Rafe and there’s no change. Paulina assures that they are all praying for him and they will find whoever did this to him. Paulina promises that justice will be served.

Abe admits he has a big learning curve while Kate has television experience. Kate says she doesn’t with a scripted show. Abe jokes that he makes up for his lack of experience with a lot of enthusiasm. Abe suggests they hold off on casting and declares that Kate should play one of the roles. Kate says not to look at her since she’s just a producer and points out that even if she agreed, he’d still have two more roles to recast. Abe responds that he knows exactly who should play those roles too.

Kayla goes to Marlena’s office and says she wants to talk to her about Everett Lynch as she had an encounter with him this morning that left her quite troubled. Marlena mentions her session with him also left her troubled. Marlena says it went well but almost too well as he appeared to have a major breakthrough that she wouldn’t have expected for some time. Kayla asks if she thinks he’s putting on an act. Marlena doesn’t know and talks about him being so intelligent and clever to take drastic measures to secure his self preservation. Marlena says if the session was not as it seemed, then she thinks she made a serious mistake in releasing him from Bayview.

Bobby appears in Rafe’s hospital room and says he’s sorry as he never meant for this to happen to him. Bobby says he knew Connie was a wacko but if he knew she was going to try to kill him, he would’ve stopped her. Bobby says as a reporter, he should’ve asked more questions. Bobby adds that he never wanted Rafe to die, he just wanted him out of the way so he could have Jada all to himself.

Jada wants to bring Bobby in for questioning but says she will have to handle it very delicately. Jada instructs Stephanie not to say anything to anyone because the last thing they need is for someone else to know that they think Everett is Bobby and that he might be the one who stabbed Rafe, as Connie appears around the corner.

Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

Ava goes to the DiMera office where Kristen informs her that she heard about her encounter at the Brady Pub last night and questions why she didn’t tell her about it.

Gabi goes to her bedroom where Stefan is sleeping. Stefan wakes up so Gabi apologizes if she woke him and explains that she just needed to get her rosary before heading back to the hospital to be with Rafe. Stefan asks how Rafe is doing. Gabi says he’s still in a coma. Gabi goes to leave but Stefan stops her and says they need to talk.

Jada sits at Rafe’s side in the hospital. Kayla comes in and suggests Jada go home to get some rest but Jada says she’s okay. Kayla encourages that Rafe wouldn’t want her to sit there 24/7. Jada responds that she’s afraid of leaving his side. Kayla insists that Rafe is a fighter. Jada worries about the machines still breathing for him with no sign that he’s getting any better. Jad asks Kayla to be honest with her about the chances that Rafe will ever wake up.

Connie sits at home with her vision of Li Shin. Connie talks about using gloves when she stabbed Rafe so no one will ever know it was her. Her vision of Li then warns her that if Rafe ever wakes up, she’s screwed.

Bobby sits at the Brady Pub, reading the Spectator article about Rafe being in a coma after being stabbed. Bobby tells himself that he’s sorry as he didn’t think crazy Connie would take it this far but there’s nothing he can do about it now. Bobby declares that he shouldn’t waste this golden opportunity to get closer to Jada and that he should probably get to the hospital now but Stephanie arrives and greets “Everett.” He says he didn’t see her there while she says she couldn’t help but overhear him saying he’s heading to the hospital. He claims he has a therapy appointment with Marlena. Stephanie asks how that is going. He claims to be making a ton of progress. Stephanie says she’s glad to hear that. He tells her not to get too excited because they are not getting back together. Stephanie says she didn’t think that. He says he just didn’t want any confusion and that he should get going as he then hurries out of the Pub, leaving Stephanie confused.

Kayla wishes she could give Jada a definitive answer but says there is no real way of knowing when Rafe will wake up. Jada worries about the longer he is in a coma. Kayla encourages that Rafe has been through this before and made a full recovery. Jada notes that Rafe never mentioned that to her. Kayla says it was many years ago when Rafe was attacked and almost killed. Kayla says things looked dire but Rafe has a strong spirit. Kayla adds that there’s no reason to think he won’t come back to them. Jada hopes she’s right and says Rafe has a lot left to do in this world.

Gabi tells Stefan that she doesn’t have the energy for another fight. Stefan says he doesn’t want to fight and wants her to stop pushing him away. Gabi asks him to please move. Stefan refuses and says he didn’t say a word when she told him not to come to the hospital last night or when she decided to move out of their room. Stefan tells Gabi to stop being so stubborn and let him be there for her. Gabi asks if he’s not still mad about her revealing the truth about Jude since he said she may have started another war with EJ. Stefan declares that none of that matters now that her brother is fighting for his life. Stefan asks Gabi to let him help her through this. Stefan knows how scared she must be. Gabi admits that she’s scared of losing Rafe as Stefan hugs her.

Ava tells Kristen that she knew she should’ve said something to her. Kristen argues that she owes it to her. Ava asks how she found out anyway. Kristen reveals that Gabi left her a message that she ran in to her at the Pub and pitched the idea of reviving Gabi Chic at DiMera. Ava realizes it’s about that and not Brady. Kristen questions why Ava didn’t tell her about it. Ava calls it a terrible idea and reminds Kristen that she slept with Gabi’s husband while she was in prison. Kristen points out that Gabi doesn’t know about that. Ava argues that Gabi still hates her so there’s no way she’s going to stand side by side with her. Kristen tells her that’s actually exactly what she’s going to do. Kristen calls Gabi Chic a valuable asset that will give them a chance to compete with Basic Black. Ava guesses it’s about Brady then but Kristen claims it has nothing to do with Brady as unlike Ava, she doesn’t let her personal feelings get in the way of a good business decision. Kristen tells Ava that she will have to suck it up and work with the woman whose husband she slept with. Kristen wants Ava to track Gabi down and get her to sign with them today, before she changes her mind. Ava thinks Gabi has more important things on her mind right now, like the fact that her brother is in a coma.

Gabi tells Stefan that she’s used to Rafe being the big strong hero and her protector, but now he’s just lying in the bed, helpless. Stefan asks if the cops have any idea who did this to him. Gabi says not yet, but she just keeps thinking about how he was stabbed in the back. Stefan points out that it’s like Li. Gabi says that makes her think about if there’s a connection. Stefan points out that Gil Carter is dead and asks how that could be. Gabi then informs Stefan that Everett Lynch’s alter, Bobby claims it wasn’t Gil. Stefan questions him telling the truth. Gabi doesn’t know but declares that if he is, that means the person who murdered Li is still out there. Stefan brings up all the evidence pointing to Gil Carter and that being used to get Gabi cleared and that Rafe himself believed the evidence. Stefan suggests it could just be a horrible coincidence. Gabi says that all she knows is she just wants her big brother back as Stefan hugs her. Gabi thanks Stefan and admits she’s been trying to push him away, but says it feels really good to have him here with her. Stefan promises that he’ll always be there for her, whenever she needs him. Gabi then tells Stefan to make love to her as they kiss.

Jada remains at Rafe’s side and tells him that she’s going to need him to get better. Jada talks about being impatient and she knows Rafe deserves a little rest, but repeats she will need him to wake up, not just for her but for everyone at the department, his friends and family. Jada wants Rafe to know that the whole community is praying for him and she hopes that he can feel that. Jada hopes Rafe knows how much she loves him. Jada talks about the past few months being the happiest she’s ever been and she’s not ready to lose that as they have a whole lifetime of happiness ahead of them. Jada cries for Rafe to please wake up, so she can hold him again and he can help her find the person who hurt him. Bobby then enters the room and sees Jada crying at Rafe’s side.

Connie tells her vision of Li that Rafe is barely hanging on, so she doubts he’ll make some miraculous comeback. Her vision of Li asks what if he does. Connie states that she came up from behind so he didn’t see her. Her vision of Li states that she’s being awfully cold about this when an innocent man is in a coma and she’s just going about her day with no remorse. Connie questions what she was supposed to do since Bobby was going to tell Jada what she did to Li, so it was the only way to stop him. Her vision of Li asks what if Bobby doesn’t hold up his end of the bargain.

Kristen tells Ava that Gabi is very upset about Rafe, but they both know she has no problem setting aside her emotions to get what she wants. Kristen knows they have their issues and that Ava feels guilty about sleeping with her husband but if she wants this job, she’s going to have to get over it. Ava then agrees to go talk to Gabi and make her an offer. Kristen reveals that she already drew up a contract. Ava repeats that she still thinks it’s a terrible idea but Kristen doesn’t care. Kristen then orders Ava to track down Gabi and get her to sign on the dotted line.

Gabi and Stefan lay in bed after having sex. Gabi guesses now is a good time to say she’s sorry about the whole mess with EJ. Stefan asks how he knows she actually means that. Gabi states that she’s not sorry that Eric got his kid back and admits it was very satisfying to screw EJ over for sending her to prison, but she is sorry that she betrayed Stefan’s trust. Stefan accepts her apology and says he’s sorry for getting so mad at her. Gabi feels he had every right to be mad. Stefan says not after how long they were apart and he almost lost her for good. Stefan says he shouldn’t have let something like that come between them. Gabi understands he was hurt and she doesn’t blame him. Gabi says when it comes to other people, they can lie, cheat, and steal but they need to be able to trust each other. Gabi holds Stefan’s hand and swears to never keep secrets from him ever again. Gabi declares that from now on, it’s honesty and trust as they continue kissing.

Kayla joins Stephanie at the Brady Pub and says it sounds like she missed quite a wedding. Stephanie points out that it was two weddings. Kayla can’t believe Theresa pulled off that scheme as she really thought she had changed. Stephanie thought so too and brings up how Theresa treated Alex. Kayla asks how Alex is. Stephanie says he’s a mess. Kayla asks if she saw him after everything. Stephanie confirms that she followed him after the whole mess to try and comfort him but she didn’t think it did much good. Kayla points out that they have a history. Stephanie assures that history is all it is. Kayla guesses that she and Everett are back together now that he’s out of Bayview but Stephanie reveals that’s actually history too.

Bobby enters Rafe’s hospital room, pretending to be Everett, and says he heard the news about Rafe so he wanted to tell her how sorry he is. Jada calls that kind of him. He asks how Rafe is doing. Jada responds that he’s not good and the doctors aren’t sure if he will ever wake up. Bobby calls that terrible and asks if the police has any leads on who could’ve done this. Jada says forensics are analyzing the knife but other than that, they don’t have much to go on. Bobby tells her to let him know if he can help at all and offers to put a team of journalists from the Spectator to try and dig it up. Jada thanks him but thinks it’s best to let the police handle this. Bobby tells her that he has the full support of the newspaper and his as well if he can do anything for her.

Connie questions what reason Bobby would have to double cross her. Her vision of Li suggests he could use it to get closer to Jada. He warns that her plan could blow up in her face. Connie says she appreciates his concern, especially since she’s the reason he’s dead, but says she isn’t worried and that Bobby will be careful around Jada. He asks what if Jada figures out Bobby is faking. Connie assures that she won’t. He points out that if she did, Bobby would have no reason not to throw her under the bus.

Jada appreciates “Everett’s” offer to help but admits she’s a bit confused by it since they barely know each other. He says that he was in a coma for a year, so he has a lot of sympathy for the situation. Jada says he has a lot going on to get his life back on track. He talks about continuing therapy with Marlena and claims the integration process has been really successful so far. Jada says that’s great. He says he doesn’t fully understand it yet but he’s starting to feel like Bobby is becoming part of who he is. Jada questions that happening already. He’s sure he has a long way to go but feels like he’s starting to remember some of Bobby’s life. Jada asks if he has any memories on the murder of Li Shin. He says that Jada mentioned that before. Jada brings up Bobby claiming to have information on the death of Li Shin. He then claims not to know anything about that. Jada tells him to let her know if something comes back to him. He then clarifies that by remembering Bobby’s life, he’s starting to feel what Bobby is feeling, especially when it comes to Jada.

Kayla tells Stephanie that she’s sorry as she knows how excited she was about Everett coming back. Stephanie feels she was foolish since she was all set to tell him that she was ready for a serious relationship but he’s not. Kayla understands if he wants to focus on his mental health. Stephanie says she fully supports that but it still hurts. Stephanie calls Everett a great guy and says she’s really going to miss him even if it seems he won’t miss her because he seemed thrilled to be getting rid of her. Kayla questions what she is talking about. Stephanie informs Kayla that before she got there, she ran in to “Everett” and he was so dismissive and cold.

Stefan joins Kristen at the DiMera office and talks about his savvy negotiations, comparing it to Stefano. Kristen tells him to leave before his ego gets any bigger. Stefan says he will leave since he doesn’t want to run in to Ava. Kristen tells him not to worry since Ava is off trying to convince Gabi to bring Gabi Chic back to DiMera which surprises Stefan.

Ava goes to the hospital to find Gabi. Ava knows it’s a really bad time as she’s sorry about Rafe. Gabi asks if she means she’s sorry she’s not the one who did it. Ava says she knows things ended badly between them but she cared deeply about Rafe and would never wish this on him. Gabi asks what she wants. Ava says if she has a few minutes, she’d like to talk business as she talked it over with Kristen and they decided they would love to have Gabi’s brand back in DiMera. Gabi guesses she was right to go over Ava’s head and that Kristen forced Ava to come to her which couldn’t have been easy for her. Ava says they completely understand if she needs to concentrate on Rafe right now, but it’s a standing offer if she’d like to take a few months before jumping in. Gabi calls that considerate but says they don’t know when Rafe will wake up so jumping back in with Gabi Chic would be a welcome distraction. Gabi adds that one of the last things Rafe said to her was that she needs to get her life back together, almost like he gave her his blessing. Ava says that’s great as Gabi asks if she has a contract for her to sign. Ava presents the contract to Gabi, which she says seems surprisingly fair. Ava says that Kristen is eager to get her back in the fold and tells her that she can have her lawyer look it over if she wants. Gabi says she worked with plenty of contracts like this when she was CEO of DiMera and it seems pretty standard. Ava wants to make sure Gabi knows how much work it’s going to take to get her brand up and running again. Gabi asks if Ava is trying to talk her out of this. Ava says not at all and repeats that Kristen is eager to have her on board which means she is too. Ava states that she just doesn’t want Gabi to sign and then have regrets when the workload starts to come in, especially since she will have to be juggling Rafe’s medical needs. Gabi guesses that Ava worries she might not be up for it but says she handled all the pressure of running DiMera, so she can handle Gabi Chic. Gabi then signs the contract and says it’s a deal. Gabi knows Ava has her doubts but promises that neither of them will regret working together.

Stefan questions Kristen saying that Gabi and Ava are going to be working together. Kristen confirms that’s the plan. Stefan asks why the hell she would do that. Kristen says it was Gabi’s idea to restart Gabi Chic at DiMera. Stefan complains that Gabi didn’t realize she would be working the woman who slept with her husband. Kristen argues that Gabi doesn’t know about that and Ava won’t tell her. Stefan questions why Kristen moved forward with it. Kristen calls it good for business. Stefan asks if she’s sure about that or if it’s her way of getting back at him and Gabi.

Kayla encourages Stephanie not to take “Everett’s” behavior personally since it’s probably just disorienting to be back. Stephanie agrees that she shouldn’t take it personally or complain. Stephanie says she’s glad that Everett is himself again as he deserves to live a life that he chooses for himself. Kayla says she’s so proud of her. Stephanie thanks her. Kayla realizes her break is over and suggests they have a girls night tonight since Steve is still in Greece so Stephanie can come over and watch a movie with popcorn and ice cream. Stephanie agrees so Kayla says she’ll see her in a bit as she exits the Pub.

Jada questions if “Everett” is suggesting that he’s developing feelings for her. He says that he knows Bobby really cared about her so he guesses he’s starting to feel that affection and he just wanted to come offer his support as a friend. Jada says she’s sorry if she misunderstood. He calls it a very confusing situation. Jada says the important thing is he’s getting healthy. He says that means a lot coming from her. Jada decides she’s starving so she is going to get takeout. He offers to pick something up for her but Jada says she could use the fresh air. He tells her to call if she needs anything since he’s trying to stay busy now that he’s alone. Jada asks what about Stephanie. “Everett” tells her that they are sadly not seeing each other anymore. Jada says she’s sorry to hear that. He says it’s for the best and he’ll see her around as he then exits.

Connie says she’s been ruminating about Bobby and that he could end up being a liability. Her vision of Li asks what she’s going to do about it. Connie guesses if it comes to it, she’ll have to get Bobby out of the way just like she did to Rafe.

Kristen questions why she’d want to get back at Stefan and Gabi. Stefan suggests maybe the way they stole their DiMera shares. Kristen states they made it look like she was abusing her own daughter and admits she was very upset about it, but they can let all that go because now they have a mutual disdain to bond over in EJ. Stefan is glad they’ll always have something to bond over. Kristen tells him to let go of his paranoia and know that she’s not out to get he and Gabi. Kristen jokes that she won’t spill the beans about his one night stand as she wouldn’t do that to Ava. Ava then walks in and asks what about her. Kristen says she was just filling Stefan in on how Ava will be working with Gabi. Ava presents Kristen with the contract and declares that it’s a done deal.

Stephanie runs in to Jada outside the Brady Pub and says she’s so sorry about Rafe and asks how she’s holding up. Jada says she’s hanging in there and asks how Stephanie is since she ran in to “Everett” and he told her they broke up. Stephanie confirms they did but she’s surprised he told her about that considering all she is going through. Jada admits that he was acting very weird. Stephanie asks what she means. Jada says that he just wasn’t acting like himself at all. They then agree that it’s possible that “Everett” isn’t really Everett.

“Everett” runs in to Kayla at the hospital. Kayla says she’s so glad to hear about his breakthrough and asks if he has a minute to talk about her daughter since Stephanie told her that they aren’t seeing each other anymore. He says he has to focus on his recovery. Kayla talks about how Stephanie was very upset about how dismissive he was earlier and she cares about him. Kayla hoped he would be a little more sensitive to her feelings. Bobby then remarks that she’s absolutely right that it is none of her business.

Connie sneaks in to Rafe’s hospital room and reaches towards his machines but Gabi walks in and questions what she is doing in there.

Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

As Maggie officiates Xander and Sarah’s wedding, she asks if anyone objects. Xander’s mother, Fiona Cook, then arrives and declares that she’s sorry she’s late, surprising everyone in attendance. Fiona approaches Xander and comments on him being so handsome and grown up. Xander comments on her missing a decade of his life. Theresa looks worried while Leo watches on with excitement. Fiona declares to Xander that at long last they are all together now. Bonnie looks on with a big smile. Andrew comments to Paul that Xander’s mother sure knows how to make an entrance while Paul texts Brady to ask if he’s OK.

Brady sits at the Brady Pub with a drink at his table but texts Paul that he just got to a meeting.

Xander questions Fiona why she didn’t tell them she was coming. She explains that she was traveling when she got the invitation and sent an RSVP but when she realized it wouldn’t make it in time, she just hopped on a plane and is thrilled to be here. Xander then introduces his mom to Dr. Sarah Horton. Sarah tells Fiona that he’s so happy to meet her and she’s very glad she’s there. Fiona responds that she wouldn’t have missed this for the world. Sarah repeats that they are so happy she’s there to celebrate their special day and that it means a lot to them. Xander then introduces Fiona to her granddaughter, Victoria. Fiona guesses she’s named after Victor which Xander confirms. Fiona supposes that’s appropriate and calls her a lovely child. Theresa watches on uncomfortably. Maggie then greets Fiona as her other grandmother. Sarah introduces Fiona to Maggie, who mentions that she is also Victor’s widow. Fiona says she’s sorry for her loss as she and Victor were close many years ago. Maggie brings up Fiona being married to Victor’s brother. Theresa then interrupts and asks if they can catch up later so they can get on with the wedding.

Ava goes to the Brady Pub and runs in to Brady. Ava says she’s grateful that Kristen gave her a job but after an entire day of spreadsheets, she could really use a drink. Ava then stops and tells Brady that she thought he didn’t drink. Brady responds that he doesn’t.

Theresa introduces herself to Fiona as Theresa Donovan. Leo quickly points out that she should mean Theresa Kiriakis and informs Fiona that Theresa just married Victor’s son which Fiona questions and asks if he is Philip. Alex introduces himself as Victor’s other son. Fiona is confused as she thought Bo was Victor’s only other son, but says she’s been out of the loop for years. Alex tells Fiona not to worry about as he just found out he was Victor’s son after he died and thought he was his nephew for all his life. Fiona asks about how this revelation came to light. Theresa interrupts again and asks why it matters. Alex questions her hurry. Theresa claims she just wants to get on with the double wedding so they can get to the celebration. Fiona apologizes for bringing everything to a crashing halt. Sarah tells her it’s okay. Fiona states that after been gone for so many years, she has so many questions about the Kiriakis family. Alex explains that after the reading of Victor’s will, they found a letter from his mother naming him as Victor’s son which Fiona questions as Theresa looks annoyed. Fiona questions Alex learning he was Victor’s son from a letter which Alex confirms. Fiona asks if he still has the letter. Alex asks why she asks. Theresa asks Maggie to just get on with the ceremony but Fiona says this can’t wait. Xander questions what this is all about. Fiona responds that she’s sorry to tell him this on such a joyous occasion, but his cousin Alex is a fraud, shocking those in attendance.

Ava asks Brady if he wants her to call someone like his sponsor. Brady says that would be Maggie and she’s busy officiating her daughter’s wedding. Ava asks if Brady didn’t want to go. Brady says he went but he left at the half since it was a double wedding with Xander and Sarah, then his ex-wife Theresa and his newly discovered uncle, Alex Kiriakis. Brady says he watched Theresa and Alex get hitched and then got out of there. Brady decides they deserve a toast as he continues drinking. Ava is thinking Brady is very much not happy and asks if he wants to talk about it.

Theresa tells Fiona that her husband is not a fraud. Xander asks what this is about and what Fiona is trying to do. Fiona responds that she’s trying to stop a travesty of justice as they have all been fooled by this man. Alex says he has no idea what she’s talking about, but Fiona thinks he does. Fiona explains that Alex has been posing as Victor’s son but it’s all a lie. Justin argues that they all saw the letter. Sonny adds that Victor wanted Alex to know the truth. Fiona demands Alex show her the letter. Xander worries that she’s making a scene. Fiona says if he’s not hiding anything, he will let her see it. Justin then reveals that he has the letter and hands it to Fiona, explaining that Anjelica wrote it to Victor not long after Alex was born. Fiona reads the letter and says Anjelica may well be Alex’s mother, but she assures that she did not write this letter. Justin questions how she knows that. Fiona then reveals that she is the one who wrote the letter. Justin questions Fiona saying she wrote the letter which she confirms. Fiona says she wrote it and sent it to Victor. Alex argues that it has nothing to do with her as it’s about he and his parents. Xander questions what Fiona is doing. Fiona calls it something she should’ve done many years ago but she was ashamed. Maggie tells her to just say what she’s trying to say. Fiona is sorry it has to come out like this but reveals that many years ago, while married to Titus, she slept with Victor and got pregnant. Leo exclaims that now it’s a Salem wedding. Xander questions Fiona getting pregnant with Victor which she confirms. Fiona explains that she didn’t want Titus to know that she betrayed him, so she wrote Victor a letter in private, informing him of his son, Alexander. Alex says that is him while Justin adds that is the name he was given at birth. Fiona says that’s true but it’s also the name she gave Xander. Bonnie interrupts to say they’ve all seen the letter signed by Anjelica. Fiona says when she wrote the letter, she signed it herself so someone else must have changed the signature later. Alex argues that this can’t be right. Fiona questions how they obtained this letter. Justin explains that it was in a briefcase with Victor’s personal belongings which was returned to them by the ISA. Fiona asks if someone else could’ve had access to the briefcase. Paul looks to Andrew while Alex turns to look at Theresa.

Ava doesn’t think Brady should be drinking but says she’s not his sponsor or his mother and the last person who should lecture anyone on the choices they make. Brady tells her that she can’t stop him and gives her a drink on him. Ava guesses that since Brady is here instead of at the wedding reception, he still has feelings for his ex. Brady responds that he didn’t think he did and he thought he was over her, but she lured him in to bed when she was on the outs with Alex and reminded him of how good they used to be. Brady states that he slept with Theresa and it was the first time in a long time, but then the morning came and everything changed as Alex came crawling back in so Theresa kicked his ass to the curb. Ava tells Brady that she’s sorry as that sucks. Brady blames himself for falling prey to Theresa’s BS. Ava isn’t sure it will make him feel any better but says she has her own doomed love story. Brady tells her to tell him a Harris story. Ava explains that she thought they were going somewhere but he was going right out of town. Brady declares that love makes fools of them all which they toast to.

Alex accuses Theresa as she had access to the letter in Greece because her father left Victor’s briefcase in the room with her and she was alone while he and Brady were out looking for answers about Victor’s death. Alex demands the truth from Theresa. Theresa calls it crazy. Alex shouts that she’s crazy and asks if Brady was right that Theresa opened the briefcase and didn’t find a letter that said he was Victor’s heir. Xander points out that the letter said Alexander. Alex says she made it look like that Alexander was him. Theresa denies it. Alex yells at her to tell the truth for once in her life and asks if she changed the letter. Theresa then breaks down and admits that she changed the letter. Alex states that she made him and everyone else believe that he was Victor’s son and questions how she could do that. Xander calls it obvious. Alex tells Theresa to explain herself. Theresa then explains that when Shane left, she was alone with the briefcase and got curious so she opened it and found Fiona’s letter. Theresa says she realized the circumstances of the letter fit Alex just as much as Xander, so all it took was changing a signature. Xander calls her sick while Sarah asks if she really hated Xander that much. Theresa responds that she was afraid of Xander being that rich and powerful and the damage he could cause. Xander shouts at her wanting to talk about damage. Alex questions this being more about punishing Xander than it was about him. Theresa says it wasn’t like that so Alex asks how it was. Alex says they all want to know how she did it and questions her being some expert in forgery or if somebody helped her. Theresa admits she had help. Justin questions her finding a forger in Greece on short notice. Alex points out that they weren’t gone that long, so he asks how she found somebody. Theresa then reveals that she didn’t have to because Konstantin found her.

Ava explains to Brady that Harris got a lead on Megan Hathaway from Hope, so he took a leave from the force and was gone. Brady questions him just ending their relationship like that. Ava says that Harris couldn’t get past trust issues. Ava admits that she did lie to him repeatedly. Ava remarks that unlike Brady, she brought it all upon herself. Brady states that doesn’t make it hurt any less which Ava agrees with. Brady is glad that Harris is God knows where so Ava doesn’t have to see his face as a constant reminder of what she lost. Ava guesses he means like how he had to see Theresa and Alex. Brady complains that they are in the town square having a hell of a good time on their wedding night…

Alex questions Theresa about Konstantin being there which Theresa confirms. Maggie asks why he was at the hotel. Theresa explains that Konstantin heard about Victor’s briefcase and thought he was in the will, so when he found out that he wasn’t, she mentioned her idea to him and he offered to forge Anjelica’s signature. Maggie asks if she’s saying she was working with Konstantin this whole time. Theresa says she didn’t intend to be and she didn’t know he would show up in Salem. Sarah argues that Theresa knew the whole time that Konstantin was just after Maggie’s money. Theresa cries that she didn’t know Konstantin was dangerous and planning to kill her. Alex calls this whole thing a lie and says that Theresa never loved him, she loved the money. Theresa cries that it’s not true and asks if they can go somewhere to talk. Alex tells her that there’s nothing to talk about. Alex brings up that Brady accused her of knowing before she slept with him and she acted so insulted and insisted she was falling in love with him. Alex declares that everything was a lie. Theresa says to let her explain. Xander argues that she already explained that she’s been deceiving everyone this whole time and took something that was rightfully his to give to Alex for her own greedy and vile reasons. Alex tells Xander not to feel bad because he feels Xander got the better deal because Theresa may have screwed him over, but at least he didn’t marry her. Theresa then runs away in tears. Sarah hugs Xander while Justin stands with Alex. After the town square begins to clear out, Alex remains with Justin, Sonny, and Bonnie. Sonny asks if Alex is okay. Alex responds that he just feels so stupid as Bonnie says she’s so sorry for everything that happened. Alex brings up that Brady tried to warn him but he was so caught up in being Victor’s son that he didn’t realize everything was a lie, including this marriage. Bonnie points out the one good thing is that Justin is actually his father. Alex agrees as he and Justin embrace and say they love each other. Sonny adds that he’s still his kid brother after all as he hugs Justin and Alex. Alex declares that he’s so grateful for both of them and he can’t stop thinking about how Theresa lied to him about who he was for all these months. Justin says he will get the marriage annulled, call the police to report fraud, and make sure that Theresa can never hurt him again. Justin adds that if Alex wants to make a statement, they can do that. Alex says he’s sorry but right now, he just needs to get out of here and storms off.

Brady and Ava continue drinking at the Pub. Ava decides she’s had enough and is going upstairs to go to bed early. Brady asks if she wants some company. Ava asks if he’s offering. Brady says they both want to feel good and suggests maybe they could feel good together. Ava admits they probably would tonight, but then tomorrow probably not so much. Ava brings up Kristen being her new boss. Brady jokes that Kristen doesn’t need to know but Ava says they both know that secrets do not stay buried in this town. Ava admits she is tempted but she’s made impulsive decisions before, especially while drinking, and they’ve always turned out to be a mistake. Brady says you can’t blame him for trying. Ava understands why Brady wants to drown himself in booze but encourages himself to try not to think about Theresa for too long since she’s a married woman now, so he has to move on. Ava calls it Theresa’s loss because Brady is a great guy. Brady says he appreciates that and thanks her. Ava asks how he’s getting home. Brady promises to order a ride. Ava tells Brady to take care of himself as she heads upstairs.

Justin and Bonnie talk about it being tough for Alex and how they will be there when he’s ready. Bonnie tells Justin that she couldn’t be happier that Alex is his son as they embrace along with Sonny. Fiona comments to Xander, Sarah, and Maggie about Theresa being a despicable woman and questions them wanting to share their wedding with her. Xander questions Fiona for lying to him his whole life, knowing that Victor was his father. Fiona explains that they didn’t want to hurt Titus and knew he would be devastated if he found out about their affair that Xander wasn’t his son. Xander asks what about after Titus died. Fiona says she was in no shape to deal with it as she fell apart after he died while she and Xander were barely speaking. Sarah asks about Xander having no idea. Xander says when Titus died, he fell apart too but his mom was nowhere to be found as she was off somewhere, drinking herself into oblivion. Fiona apologizes for not being there for him. Xander responds that he doesn’t want her here now and tells her to get out of his sight. Fiona argues that she came to his wedding and wants to get to know her grandchild, but Maggie points out that he asked her to leave, so Fiona exits. Sarah asks if Xander is okay. Xander says he’s fine and tells Sarah that he still wants to get married. Maggie says they could move the ceremony to another time. Xander argues that they’ve been waiting so long for this day. Sarah feels they can wait a little bit longer and suggests just going home to sort everything out. Xander agrees to see them at home then and walks away. Leo approaches Paul and asks where his boyfriend is and questions if Andrew was conspiring with his sister.

Andrew follows Theresa to her room where she is gathering her things and asks if she is going somewhere.

Paul tells Sonny that just once, he wouldn’t mind a simple and boring wedding where everyone goes home happy. Sonny says he’s been to a few and they were pretty nice. Leo comes over and says he likes a little drama with his romance. Leo offers them some of Theresa and Alex’s wedding cake, saying they won’t be using it. Paul questions Leo cutting the cake himself. Leo argues that just because the wedding was a disaster is no reason to let a perfectly good cake go to waste. Roman calls Kimberly and questions if Theresa didn’t call her about the wedding. Roman tells her that she might want to sit down.

Theresa tells Andrew that she doesn’t need to hear what he has to say right now. Andrew doesn’t care and questions her lying to him too, bringing up her kidnapping adventure with Konstantin. Theresa wants to explain but Andrew doesn’t want to hear any more lies. Andrew states that she convinced him not to turn her in when he saw her on the security footage and swore that she only agreed to work with Konstantin in some matchmaking scheme, but she was working with him the whole time to get their hands on Victor’s money and she convinced Maggie that Konstantin was some hero, just so he could help her sink her claws in to Alex. Theresa swears that she really cares about Alex but Andrew tells her to stop lying. Theresa asks if he’s going to turn her in now and tell everyone that she was Konstantin’s accomplice in Victoria’s kidnapping. Andrew says he won’t but if she had a shred of dignity left, she would do it herself. Andrew then exits.

Stephanie catches up to Alex in the park and says she just wanted to see if he’s okay. Alex responds that he’s not, so Stephanie hugs him.

Bonnie tells Justin that she knows a lot of crazy things happened today, but he got the best news about two people he loved very much as Victor didn’t lie to him for all those years and Alex is his son, now and forever. Sarah and Maggie watch over Victoria as Sarah promises she and Xander will get married soon. Maggie calls it hardly the wedding she was expecting. Sarah jokes that she’s had worse. Maggie asks if she’s alright. Sarah says she’s okay but she doesn’t know what happens next. Sarah declares that whatever it is, she will be there to help Xander through it.

Xander goes to the Kiriakis Mansion and has a drink. Xander pours another and then looks up at the portrait of Victor. Xander toasts to his father and then smashes the glass by throwing it at the portrait.

Fiona goes to the Brady Pub and asks Brady if someone is sitting there. Brady responds that she left so no one has touched the drink and it’s all hers, so Fiona takes the seat.
