Update written by Joseph

Johnny comes home to the DiMera Mansion as Gabi stumbles down the stairs with a bottle of champagne in her hand. Gabi remarks that maybe she had too much to drink. Johnny notices the champagne and asks if she’s celebrating. Gabi shows him her ring and announces that she and Stefan are engaged again. Johnny asks if this means that Li is officially in the past. Gabi confirms that she has the divorce papers in hand, so it’s finally over.

Sloan and Eric walk through the town square. Sloan tells Eric that she gets that if she keeps any more secrets from him, they are done. Sloan then gets a phone call from Li, who says he needs to know if Gabi signed the divorce papers yet. Sloan says they just sent them over this afternoon and she knows he’s anxious but this isn’t a good time yet.

Rafe calls from the hospital that he wants more units out on the west side and for the APB on Colin Bedford to be expanded to state wide as he wants him found now. Kayla comes over and asks if she heard correctly that Abe is in surgery with a head injury. Rafe confirms that he is and when he got here, he had some sort of seizure. Kayla asks what happened. Rafe reveals that he found him on the floor at the bakery and that whoever did it took Paulina while now they can’t find Paulina or Chanel anywhere.

Jada screams for Colin to drop the gun. Chanel drops to the ground with Paulina as Talia then rushes Colin and begins fighting with Colin over the gun. Jada screams for Talia to take cover and let her do this. Jada and Chanel scream while Talia and Colin continue to struggle. Talia and Colin then both end up falling over the ledge and off the roof of the building!

Sloan asks Li why it matters when he knows she’s going to sign them. Colin then falls from the rooftop, bleeding, and lands in the town square. Sloan rushes to his side to check on him.

Jada, Chanel, and Paulina look over the edge of the roof and scream for Talia. Jada says she will call for help as she rushes down to get to Talia. Paulina worries about getting to Abe.

Kayla finishes a call and informs Rafe that the surgery is ongoing so they won’t have a status report for awhile. Rafe swears to kill Colin if Abe doesn’t pull through. Rafe argues that Sloan could have stopped all of this. Rafe gets a call from Jada and asks if she got him and questions being told about the Salem Inn.

Sloan tells Colin not to move as he will make it worse and asks what happened. Colin tells Sloan that “she did this” which Sloan questions. Jada comes rushing out of the Salem Inn looking for Talia. Eric helps her move the rubble to find Talia underneath.

Paulina informs Chanel that Colin attacked Abe at the bakery and wouldn’t let her call for an ambulance. Chanel encourages that it will be okay and says she’s calling the police but she gets a call first from Rafe. Rafe tells Chanel that he’s been calling for an hour and is trying to find her mother. Chanel informs him that Paulina is with her and cries that it was awful. Rafe asks what happened and if she is alright. Chanel says they are on the roof of the Salem Inn but worries about Abe being hurt. Rafe confirms that Abe is in surgery at the hospital and says he’ll send a unit for them. Chanel tells Rafe that there is more and informs him that Colin got them all to the roof and he was going to push her off but Talia and Colin both went over the edge of the roof. Chanel worries for Jada.

Jada questions why Talia did that as she cries. Eric encourages that help is coming. Sloan tells Colin not to worry and to stay strong as help is coming.

Johnny asks Gabi if Wendy was in the office today. Gabi says she wasn’t and asks what the problem is. Johnny says if she wasn’t there, that means she’s still in Seattle with Tripp.

Wendy comes home to the apartment where Li asks what happened to her. Wendy asks what didn’t happen since she was supposed to be back yesterday and was on her flight until a drunk man started fighting with the flight attendant so they got diverted to South Dakota to get him off the plane and by the time they did that, the crew had logged too many hours so they were stuck there for the night. Li jokes with her. Wendy tells him not to joke because today was almost just as bad as they made an unexpected stop in Boise. Li says she should’ve called. Wendy asks why since he can’t send the DiMera jet since he doesn’t work there anymore. Wendy complains of her bad mood. Li says he’s afraid that he’s not the person to cheer her up tonight. Wendy asks what’s wrong. Li responds that his mood matches her’s since he signed the divorce papers today. Wendy tells him that she’s so sorry. Li admits he knew it was coming and he keeps telling himself that it will provide closure. Li asks if Wendy is going to let Johnny know that she’s back. Wendy responds that she’s not sure. Li asks if Johnny didn’t convince her that he only proposed to Chanel because of the drugged biscuits. Wendy assures that he did convince her, so Li questions what the hesitation is. Wendy responds that she may be interested in someone else.

Kayla finishes call with an EMT, saying to bring in the two patients to the trauma unit. Rafe guesses it’s Colin and Talia. Kayla doesn’t know but says they are in pretty bad shape so she’s going there now. Chanel brings Paulina in a wheelchair over to them. Paulina asks Rafe where Abe is and says she has to see him. Rafe responds that he’s still in surgery. Rafe asks if they are okay as he’s been looking everywhere for them. Chanel says they are fine but Paulina says they are not. Paulina asks about Abe’s surgery and what that animal did to him. Chanel encourages her to stay calm while Rafe says he will tell her everything he knows. Rafe explains that Abe was brought in for head trauma. Paulina worries about how long Abe was laying on the floor since Colin wouldn’t let her call an ambulance. Rafe assures that everyone loves Abe and no one will let anything happen to him. Sloan and Eric arrive at the hospital. Paulina screams not her while Chanel asks Rafe to get Sloan out of here. Sloan tells Rafe that she needs to see his brother. Rafe informs her that he’s in the trauma center. Rafe tells Sloan to go and stay the hell away from Paulina and Chanel. After Sloan hurries to the trauma center, Eric tells Rafe that he didn’t have to talk to her like that. Rafe tells Eric to look at Paulina and Chanel as he declares that Sloan and Colin are responsible for that. Eric starts to argue but decides it doesn’t matter. Eric goes over to Paulina and apologizes. Paulina questions Eric thinking he can just say he’s sorry after what Sloan and Colin did to Abe. Eric doesn’t understand and asks what happened to Abe. Chanel informs him that Colin bashed Abe’s head in with a rolling pin at the bakery. Eric asks where Abe is. Chanel says he’s in surgery and they don’t know if he’s going to make it or if Talia is either. Eric informs them that Talia was brought here. Chanel is surprised that Talia is alive while Paulina declares that she hopes Colin is dead.

Sloan visits Colin in the trauma center, where the doctor informs her that it’s a miracle that Colin is still alive. Sloan asks how he is. The doctor says there’s no obvious breaks but he’s ordered x-rays and painkillers. He leaves the room to allow Sloan to talk to Colin as he wakes up and asks what happened. Colin tells Sloan that he did what he had to do. Sloan questions him taking Chanel and Paulina captive when he was supposed to go away as he promised her that he would leave them alone. Colin admits that he lied and says he was so close to making them pay. Colin declares that he would’ve if it wasn’t for Talia.

Jada sits with Talia in her hospital room. Jada informs her that the awning saved her life and cries about seeing her go over the edge of the roof. Kayla enters the room. Jada hugs her and says she’s so glad that she will be treating her sister. Jada introduces Talia to Kayla as a good friend of their father. Kayla asks Talia how she’s feeling. Talia admits she’s scared and angry at herself. Kayla understands she’s been through a lot. Kayla says the paramedics did a good job bandaging her. Kayla checks her and says she might have a broken arm but they will know more with an x-ray. Kayla says that Talia is very lucky and she will get her painkilllers. Kayla then exits the room to give them a moment. Talia asks Jada how Chanel is.

Eric decides to take Paulina to the chapel to pray. Chanel calls that weird as she didn’t think anyone could calm Paulina down, let alone Eric. Rafe calls Paulina a strong woman and says Chanel takes after her. Chanel isn’t sure about that. Rafe asks if she’s ready to talk about it. Chanel says she is so she sits with Rafe. Rafe tells her to take her time. Chanel starts by saying that tonight Talia told her that Sloan’s brother ran the whole show and she was his girlfriend who had been working the whole time with him against them. Chanel says she tried to call Paulina to warn her but when she called, Colin answered and told her to meet him on the roof of the Salem Inn. Chanel adds that when she got there, he had a gun and said he was going to make Paulina jump so she would die like his mother died but when she wouldn’t, he turned the gun on her. Chanel says that was when Talia and Jada showed up and things got even crazier. Chanel thought Colin was going to start shooting everyone but that’s when Talia jumped in and tried to grab the gun but Colin started fighting her off and then they both went over the edge. Rafe takes that as what Chanel is saying is that Talia saved her life. Chanel disagrees and argues that if it wasn’t for Talia, she wouldn’t have been on the roof, Paulina wouldn’t have been in danger, and Colin couldn’t have done any of this. Rafe knows that Talia has been lying to them but asks if she was really in that deep and knew what Colin was doing. Chanel reveals that Talia admitted everything and that she loves that creep so she would do anything that he told her to do which is why she spiked the biscuits, stole Paulina’s keys, and was willing to sleep with her. Chanel tells Rafe not to let Talia get away with this. Chanel notes that Talia tried telling her that she felt bad about it all, but she still did it and needs to pay.

Jada tells Talia that Chanel and Paulina are okay. Talia tells Jada that she’s never seen Colin like that before. Talia knows he wanted to teach them a lesson. Jada says it’s obvious that he wanted to kill them from the beginning. Talia argues that it just got out of hand. Jada brings up the things Talia did and the lies she told her. Jada says that’s not her. Talia argues that Colin lost both of his parents and it wrecked him. Jada says that a lot of people have been through worse than Colin and don’t try to kill people. Jada adds that Talia knew it was wrong which is why she called her. Jada points out that she is trained to handle situations like this and asks why she didn’t just let her handle it. Talia says she knows but she just wanted to stop Colin from hurting Chanel and she never meant for him to go off the side of the roof. Jada questions why she gives a damn about him.

Colin tells Sloan that he had those two bitches right where he wanted them but then Talia showed up with Jada and everything went to hell. Colin argues that Talia was supposed to be on his side and she pushed him. Sloan questions why he was up there in the first place. Colin says it had to be on the roof. Sloan asks why he did any of it and why he didn’t leave. Sloan reminds him that she told him she would go to the police if he didn’t back off. Sloan says she misses their parents as much as he does but there are limits and he can’t kill. Colin complains that Sloan gave up and asks what kind of life she could live if she had to see the people that did this to them being free and alive. Sloan guesses she just did what she had to. Colin says that he did too. Colin states that they are different as he can’t forget what happened and how everything was torn apart because he’ll never forget.

Wendy tells Li that she was in Seattle, helping Tripp with Joey and she was pretty angry with Johnny when she left, so she guesses that made her want to see if there was still something with Tripp. Li asks if there was. Wendy admits that Tripp is still interested, she does like him, and they ended up going out one night which felt good. Li feels she doesn’t sound that over the moon about it. Wendy says she just doesn’t like not knowing how she’s feeling. She mentions getting so angry with Johnny, but she likes him, while Tripp is so easy to be with and she knows she has to choose but she doesn’t know how to do it. Li asks why she has to choose. Wendy admits she doesn’t know why. Li tells her that she doesn’t have to choose and says in business, the worst thing you can do is make a decision before having all the data. Wendy jokes that it scares her that she’s talking to him about her personal life and it terrifies her that he’s actually making sense. Li says he has his moments. Wendy notes that she told Johnny that she wouldn’t be gone long, so she wonders if he thinks she was lying to him about how she feels about Tripp. Li feels Johnny will take what he can get based on the last time he saw him. Li encourages that Wendy has the upper hand and can take her time to decide what she wants because they will both wait since she is worth waiting for. Li jokes that they’re a real pair since he has no one and she has more guys than she knows what to do with.

Johnny tells Gabi that Wendy was vague but he thought she’d be home by now. Gabi thought Wendy believed him about being drugged. Johnny says she said that she did but Tripp was there and he was here, so it’s kind of hard to compete when you’re not in the stadium. Gabi encourages that he doesn’t know for sure and suggests that he call Wendy and ask her. Johnny worries about coming off needy. Gabi urges him not to give up. Gabi points out that Stefan was dead and now they are getting married. Gabi declares that hope and love is what makes the world go round as she then heads back upstairs. Johnny decides to call Wendy but she shows up at his door. Johnny says he missed her very much and leans in to kiss her but she backs away and says she wants to say something. Wendy is glad they got the proposal stuff behind them because she likes him and being with him, but she likes Tripp too.

Gabi shows up at Li’s door and says she wanted to tell him something in person. Gabi informs him that after she got the divorce papers, Stefan proposed and she accepted. Li says she could have texted him that news and questions why she’s here instead of celebrating with Stefan. Gabi states that they have celebrated and she was going to grab a second bottle of champagne but Stefan was already asleep which gave her the chance to do this. Gabi then hands Li the divorce papers and informs him that she signed them too.

Jada questions Talia as to why she cares about what happens to Colin and if she still has feelings for him after everything he did. Talia admits she doesn’t know, pointing out that she could have died but he could have too and she would’ve been the one who killed him. Jada points out that she didn’t and he survived. Jada urges Talia to forget about Colin and be glad that it’s over. Talia asks Jada if she can just see that Colin is okay. Kayla returns to the room with pain medicine. Kayla tells Jada that Talia will need to get some sleep. Jada declares there is something she needs to do and exits the room.

Sloan tells Colin not to talk like that because the place is crawling with cops. Jada then storms in and questions what Sloan is doing there. Jada says it won’t take long and handcuffs Colin to the bed. She says he’s under arrest but she won’t read him his rights because he already has counsel in Sloan. Jada then storms back out of the room.

Rafe tells Chanel that he can’t say anything until he speaks to the district attorney. Chanel declares that one way or another, Talia Hunter is not getting away with this. Jada comes out and Rafe excitedly greets her, asking how she’s holding up. Jada says she’s okay and informs him that she just arrested Colin. Chanel asks what about Talia. Jada responds that she thinks she’s going to be okay. Chanel angrily says that she wasn’t inquiring about her health as Talia is just as guilty as Colin which she already knows. Chanel points out that Jada arrested Colin and asks what about Talia. Chanel then decides she’s going to check on Paulina because she’s worried that Abe might die because he got in Colin and Talia’s way. Chanel warns Jada that if Talia is not arrested tonight, she will be calling the district attorney tonight and alerting the media. Chanel then storms off. Rafe tells Jada that Chanel told him about everything that Talia had confessed to her, so he has no choice but to hold her. Rafe suggests Jada go home and rest but Jada says she’s still on duty and she has an arrest to make as she walks away.

Li tells Gabi that it must feel nice to finally be free. Gabi admits that it does but says she’s not here to gloat, pointing out that Li is free too to put himself out there. Gabi knows there will be somebody waiting that will be very lucky to find him. Li argues that after everything he put her through, she can’t seriously think someone would be lucky to find him. Gabi says she doesn’t forget the things that she’s done to get what she wants, so she can’t take the moral high ground here. Gabi suggests they just move on and forget the past. Li apologizes for hurting her and admits he got crazy because losing her is the worst thing that ever happened to him. Gabi says she looks back and calls it inevitable. Gabi admits they’re a lot like so it felt like something that could last, but even if Stefan never came back, Li said himself that it was all a game. Gabi kisses Li on the cheek and says he will realize that when he meets the right woman and she hopes he does soon. Gabi then exits the apartment.

Wendy tells Johnny that she’s sorry if she was abrupt, but she thought he needed to know where they stood. Johnny questions her not shutting him down just then. Johnny asks if she likes them both and wants to see where it goes. Wendy doesn’t want to make it sound like a competition but says she likes different things about both of them. Johnny suggests calling it a competition since that means he’s still in the game as they then kiss. Johnny then states that he likes his chances.

Rafe finishes a call. Kayla comes over and asks where Paulina is because she has good news. Rafe says she’s in the chapel. Eric and Chanel then return with Paulina to ask about the good news. Kayla announces that Abe has just been brought to recovery which Paulina is relieved to hear. Kayla adds that the doctor is cautiously optimistic that the surgery was a success. Paulina asks to see Abe which Kayla says she can allow that briefly so she takes her to his room. Eric asks Rafe if Talia is okay. Rafe says it looks that way. Eric insists that Sloan had no idea that Colin would do this and she would’ve stopped him if she had. Rafe tells Eric not to worry as Sloan isn’t facing any charges. Eric remarks that Rafe could’ve just apologized for harassing Sloan earlier. Rafe tells Eric that visiting hours are over so he should take Sloan home so she doesn’t run in to Paulina again.

Sloan tells Colin that he had to know this would happen. Colin asks if she really would have gone to the police. Sloan asks what difference it makes now. Colin argues that she’s all he has left, so he asks if she is for him or against him. Sloan states that he is her brother and nothing changes that. Colin responds that he doesn’t need a sister right now, he needs a lawyer and she has to get him out of this. Sloan reminds him that he assaulted the mayor and put the mayor’s wife and stepdaughter at gunpoint. Colin asks if he can count on her. Sloan repeats that he is her brother no matter what, so of course she’s going to help him, right as Eric looks in to the room.

Chanel returns to Rafe and asks what’s happening with Talia. Rafe informs her that she’s in the process of being arrested. Chanel says that’s what she was hoping for.

Jada returns to Talia’s hospital room as she wakes up. Talia asks if she saw Colin and what happened to him. Jada informs her that he’s not going to die and she arrested him. Jada declares that now she has to do the same with her. Jada reads Talia her rights while holding back tears.

In the living room of the DiMera Mansion, EJ complains to Nicole that it’s no surprise that Gabi managed to worm her way back in to the family. Nicole knows they are going to use their wedding to bolster their image at the company. EJ then suggests maybe they will steal their thunder and upstage them. Nicole asks how, so EJ gets down on one knee and proposes to Nicole. Nicole doesn’t know what to say while EJ encourages her to say yes to being his wife.

Melinda confronts Eric at the police station and brings up when he pretended to be a paralegal. Eric informs her that he’s waiting on Sloan. Melinda asks if Sloan is in the interrogation room with one of her skeevy clients. Eric decides she’s going to find out sooner than later and reveals that Sloan has been arrested.

Sloan tells Jada that the last time she saw Colin was yesterday afternoon at the motel after he promised her that he was going to leave town. Jada asks if he gave any indication of where he was going next. Sloan complains that they’ve already been over that she doesn’t know where he is. Jada warns her to drop the attitude and says if she would’ve just turned her brother in then she wouldn’t be in this mess but now her psychotic brother is on the loose and who knows what he’ll do next. Sloan argues that he’s not dangerous and that Jada doesn’t know him. Jada responds that she knows him well enough to know that he somehow convinced her sister to do his dirty work and that makes him dangerous enough to her. Sloan questions what she is talking about. Jada says they are talking about Sloan here, so she doesn’t owe her any explanations. Sloan didn’t know Jada had a sister and wants to talk about her. Sloan decides that Jada doesn’t get to just drop a bomb like that and walk it back. Sloan questions how exactly her sister and Colin are involved.

Talia questions how Paulina’s scarf got in Colin’s hotel room and wonders what Colin has done now.

Rafe finds Abe at the Bakery and tells him he’s going to be alright as he’s calling for an ambulance. Abe urges Rafe to help Paulina. Rafe assures that he will as he calls in for the ambulance. Rafe tells Abe that they are on the way to get him help and asks if he can tell him who did this to him. Abe responds that it was a young guy who said he was a health inspector that hit him from behind and he’s got Paulina.

Chanel comes to the rooftop where Colin is holding his gun on Paulina. Paulina tells Chanel to do what he says. Colin says he’s delighted that Chanel showed up as this has all worked out perfectly. Chanel asks what he’s going to do. Colin complains that they went to great lengths to make the world believe that his mom threw herself off of a building so now the story is about to come full circle. Colin tells Chanel to say goodbye to her mom, because she’s about to jump to her death as he holds her at gunpoint. Chanel cries for him to stop. Colin complains that Paulina used her money and influence to make the world believe that his mother committed suicide. Colin declares that now Paulina is going to end her life the same way that Chanel ended his mom’s. Chanel pleads with him but Colin mocks her. Paulina argues that he needs his help as he’s out of his mind. Colin blames them for making him this way. Colin shouts that Chanel took his parents away from him, so now she’s going to watch as he takes her mom away from her.

Rafe encourages Abe to stay with him. Abe worries about Paulina being taken. Rafe assures that there’s an APB out on him already and every cop wants to find him. Abe asks who it is. Rafe informs him that it’s Colin Bedford, Sloan Peterson’s brother. The ambulance arrives as Abe loses consciousness.

Sloan demands that Jada tell her what she thinks she has on her brother. Jada says she can demand all she wants but she’s the suspect here, so she asks the questions. Sloan argues that she’s charging her as an accessory, so if her sister is involved, she can’t be objective. Jada gets a call from Talia, who says she really needs her help as she thinks she really messed up. Jada tells her to come to the station but Talia says she needs to come to her. Talia tells her to come to room 514 at the Salem Inn and to hurry. Jada responds that she’s on her way. Sloan asks what about her. Jada tells her to stay put. Sloan questions where the hell she is going as Jada exits the room. Melinda tries to ask Jada for an explanation on Sloan’s arrest but Jada rushes out of the station. Melinda then questions if Eric has a thing for obnoxious women since he’s been with Nicole, Jada, and now Sloan.

EJ tells Nicole that he needs an answer. Nicole asks EJ to get up. EJ questions what’s wrong as he thought she liked being spontaneous. EJ jokingly asks if she wants a grand proposal. Nicole suggests a simple and sincere proposal of marriage. EJ decides to try again and asks Nicole to marry him, but she says no. Nicole questions why she would even think of marrying a cynical, opportunistic jackass. EJ questions her not just rejecting his proposal, but calling him names. Nicole remarks that he’s lucky that she didn’t knee him in the family jewels. Nicole suggests that next time, he comes prepared with a ring. EJ asks if that’s why she rejected him. Nicole says no, so EJ questions what the problem is here then. Nicole argues that it wasn’t heartfelt. EJ claims he had the purest intentions when he asked her to marry him. Nicole argues that the only reason EJ proposed to her is because Stefan proposed to Gabi.

Eric asks if he can go in to talk to Sloan but Melinda says no. Melinda asks if Jada arrested Sloan because she finally has proof that Sloan poisoned the biscuits. Eric says it’s quite the opposite as Jada and Rafe now know for fact that someone else laced those biscuits. Melinda asks who that is but Eric doesn’t answer. Melinda decides she’s going to talk to Sloan then. Eric asks her to leave Sloan alone. Melinda suggests then Eric tell her what she wants to know and then she will let him be in there when she talks to her.

Jada goes to see Talia and demands that she tell her everything she knows about Colin. Jada reveals that she already knows Colin is Sloan’s brother. Talia asks how she found out. Jada reminds her that she’s a cop and questions Talia helping Colin harass Chanel and Paulina this whole time. Jada shouts that their father would be so ashamed. Talia tells her to stop yelling at her and to listen. Talia tells Jada that she has to stop Colin from hurting Paulina. Jada asks what he has done. Talia cries that Colin swore that he was done going after them, but then she found Paulina’s scarf in the room. Jada questions if Colin stole it. Talia doesn’t think so, so Jada asks what she does think. Talia believes Paulina was in the room with Colin. Jada questions where the hell they are now.

Rafe goes to the hospital with Abe and makes a call about the APB on Colin. Rafe orders the units to look harder as he’s pretty sure Colin attacked Abe and kidnapped Paulina, so he should be considered armed and dangerous.

Paulina tells Colin that they can work this out and tells him to name his price. Colin argues that he doesn’t want her dirty money, he wants his parents back and since she can’t give him that, he wants justice. Paulina says he’s out of his mind if he thinks she’s jumping off the roof. Colin decides that he’ll get justice another way then, by making her watch her daughter die.

Nicole questions EJ not saying anything. EJ mocks her tender sensibilities for deciding his proposal was a business maneuver. Nicole points out that EJ was desperate to find a way to upstage Stefan and Gabi. EJ then admits it did have something to do with Gabi and Stefan, but it’s not the only reason he proposed. Nicole asks what other reason there could be. EJ responds that he happens to love her and asks if that’s not up to her high standards either. Nicole is surprised and questions EJ saying he loves her. EJ assures that he does and declares that he’s very much in love with her.

Melinda brings Eric in to the interrogation room. Sloan questions what they are doing together. Melinda explains that they bumped in to each other here and Eric told her that Sloan was arrested. Sloan bets she loved hearing that. Melinda brings up getting sick from the drugged biscuits and that Eric told her that Sloan’s brother is behind it. Sloan responds that she doesn’t know who put the drugs in the biscuits, but the police believe that her brother has been harassing Paulina and Chanel. Melinda questions why Sloan is the one here then. Sloan responds that they say she’s an accessory for not turning Colin in. Sloan argues that she had no idea that he was in town until recently while she had no idea what he was up to and still doesn’t. Sloan complains that her whole arrest was an attempt at intimidation, so she intends to sue the department and the city. Sloan argues that she sought legal remedies for her problems with Chanel and Paulina and when that didn’t work, she gave up. Sloan adds that if the cops really try to nail on her on guilt by association, then they better be careful because one of their own is involved in this. Eric asks what she means. Sloan responds that she’s not the only one who has a sibling involved in this mess. Melinda asks her to be less cryptic. Sloan then reveals that Jada’s sister Talia is up to her neck in this.

Jada urges Talia to think of where Colin could have taken Paulina. Talia swears that she doesn’t know. Jada finds Colin’s family photo album and looks through it, seeing photos and clippings of his parents’ death. Jada states that he’s obsessed and asks how Talia could get involved with a guy like this. Talia argues that she didn’t know until after they were involved. Jada finds an article about Colin’s mother falling off a roof after a confrontation with Chanel. Talia then realizes that she might know where Colin took Paulina.

Paulina pleads with Colin not to hurt Chanel. Chanel tells Colin that he has to know the truth that his father wasn’t a victim, but a predator who took advantage of his student. Chanel argues that he pursued her and admits that she slept with him which is something that she will regret for the rest of her life. Chanel cries that Colin’s father cheated on his mother, so his mother lured her to the roof to try and kill her and she just defended herself. Chanel adds that if she could go back and change any of it, she would. Chanel swears that his mother’s death was an accident. Colin calls it lies. Chanel shouts that Colin will be doing this, knowing the truth. Colin declares that he was going to let Chanel live with the memory of her mother jumping to her death but now he’s going to kill them both.

A nurse gives Rafe five minutes to visit with Abe in the hospital, noting that Abe has a concussion and she’s waiting on the results from the CT scan. Abe calls out for Paulina. Rafe says he’s going to join the search but he wanted to see Abe first. Abe urges Rafe to leave him and find his wife. Rafe promises that he will. Abe shouts for Rafe to find his wife as he begins to have a seizure and his monitors start beeping, causing the nurse to rush in and check on him. Afterwards, the nurse steps out of the room with Rafe and explains that the CT scan showed a brain bleed caused the seizure and they have to get Abe in to the operating room immediately. She notes that Abe obviously can’t sign the consent form so she asks if a family member can do it. Rafe says he’ll get in touch with one of his sons, so the nurse says to let her know when he does. Rafe then makes a call to get Theo’s number.

Nicole questions EJ being in love with her. EJ asks if it’s really that much of a revelation since they were in love and married before. Nicole says she remembers and has the battle scars to prove it. EJ assures it will be different this time. Nicole asks when it hit him that he felt this way. EJ admits he’s not sure but the past few months with her and Holly has been the happiest he’s been in a long time. EJ says they are a good fit, madly attracted to each other, and they make each other laugh. Nicole doesn’t know what to say. EJ suggests she say that she loves him too, if she does. Nicole responds that she does care about him. EJ takes that as she’s not in love with him. EJ guesses it’s still because of Eric Brady.

Melinda questions Sloan telling her that Jada’s sister somehow got involved with her brother. Eric asks how long she’s known about this. Sloan explains that she just found out when Jada let something slip while questioning her and then she got a call from her sister and rushed out. Sloan points out the unfairness of arresting her as an accessory while her own sister may be an accessory and is out running free. Sloan warns that it’s not a good look for the department. Sloan points out that Melinda could change the situation by making these bogus charges go away. Melinda decides that she’s heard enough to do that and tells Sloan that she’s free to go, but her brother is going to have to answer for what he did and so is Talia Hunter.

Jada and Talia find Colin with Paulina and Chanel on the rooftop. Jada tells Colin that it’s over and warns that she will pull her trigger if he doesn’t let Paulina go. Colin responds that he doesn’t give a damn what happens to him. Talia pleads with Colin to listen. Colin questions what she’s doing here and why she brought Jada, shouting that he trusted her.

Jada warns that he doesn’t want to add murderer to his long list of crimes. Paulina begins having a panic attack while Colin holds her at gunpoint and he questions what is wrong with her.

Nicole tells EJ that Eric has nothing to do with the way that she feels about him. EJ asks if she’s sure as he would understand if sex with her ex husband rekindled her old feelings. Nicole assures that that was only because they were drugged, they were both embarrassed and have both moved on. Nicole says she thought they settled this. EJ questions what is keeping her from accepting his proposal then. Nicole states that the timing is just a bit off. EJ asks what exactly she means.

Melinda finishes a call as Sloan asks if she can go now. Melinda informs Sloan that Colin posed a health inspector and met with Paulina and Abe at the Bakery, where he attacked Abe with a blunt instrument and Abe is now in surgery. Melinda adds that Abe told Rafe that Colin has Paulina. Eric asks if Abe is going to make it. Melinda confirms that Rafe called an ambulance, so she hopes Abe will make it through this but nobody knows. Sloan calls this a nightmare. Melinda warns that she better hope that Jada can stop Colin before he causes any more damage tonight. Melinda advises Sloan to give up this stupid vendetta and tells her not to leave town as she then exits the station. Sloan asks Eric to get her out of here now, so they exit together.

Rafe calls Theo and encourages him that Abe can get the surgery and beat this. Rafe gives the phone to the doctor, so that Theo can give consent for Abe’s surgery. She tells Theo that if they operate now, Abe stands a chance at full recovery. She thanks him and asks Theo to sign the forms electronically when he gets them. Rafe thanks Theo and hangs up.

EJ questions why Nicole needs more time to decide how she feels about him. Nicole says he’s just taken her by surprise and admits she has been keeping him at arms length because things between them have had a way of not working out, but now he’s said something that changed everything so she needs a little time. EJ tells her to take as much time as she needs. EJ wants to make it clear that he’s in love with her and wants to spend the rest of his life with her and Holly. Nicole admits she did not see this coming. EJ tells her to get used to it as they kiss. EJ points out that it’s late, so she should get to bed. Nicole tells EJ to go upstairs and she’ll be right there. EJ tells her not to keep him waiting too long as they kiss and he then heads upstairs. Nicole says to herself that EJ loves her and wants to marry her but she can’t even think about that until she knows whether her baby is EJ’s or Eric’s.

Eric and Sloan walk through the town square. Eric wonders when they will hear word on Abe. Sloan wants to find Colin and try to convince him to give himself up.

Sloan admits she didn’t know how he’d react. Eric relates with his sister Sami, but he doesn’t understand how Sloan was enabling Colin to do the things that he was doing. Sloan swears that she had nothing to do with Colin harassing Paulina and Chanel. Eric says he believes her, but if they are going to stay together then there can be no more secrets between them. Sloan thinks back to discovering that Nicole is pregnant. Sloan then promises Eric no more secrets as she hugs him.

Rafe tries calling Jada again and says he still hasn’t heard from her while dispatch has no location for her. Rafe notes that Melinda said Jada went looking for her sister. Rafe wonders if Jada is in trouble and needs backup.

Colin says he will explain everything but she has to come with him. Paulina calls him crazy and says she’s not going anywhere with him. Colin then pulls a gun and warns that she might want to rethink that.

Eric understands why they might suspect Sloan’s brother but says they are way off base because Colin isn’t anywhere near Salem. Sloan agrees that he’s not as far as she knows. Jada responds that they are either lying to them or misinformed, because up until yesterday, he was right here in town and staying at the White Dove Motel. Rafe adds that Colin has been renting a room there for several weeks and questions Sloan expecting them to believe that he hasn’t made contact with her.

Chanel questions Talia about her boyfriend. Talia says it’s the one from New York that she told him about, Colin. Chanel thought she said that was her ex.

Stefan asks Gabi if everything is okay. Gabi says she’s just surprised as it’s her divorce papers from Li and it looks like he already signed them. Stefan notes that was fast.

Stefan tells Gabi that he loves her more than anything on the planet and wants to spend the rest of his life with her. Stefan gets down on one knee and asks Gabi to again do him the honor of becoming his wife.

Nicole claims to EJ that she was just taking some medication that Kayla prescribed to her. EJ remembers her condition while Nicole remarks that he makes it sound like she’s dying. EJ calls it no big deal. Nicole agrees and argues that it’s sexist for men to think women are over the hill when they are in menopause which Nicole says she is not, so EJ questions why she said she was.

Rafe asks Sloan again if she’s made any contact with her brother. Sloan says even if he was in town, it doesn’t mean he is the one going after Paulina and Chanel. Rafe points out that he certainly has motive. Sloan angrily questions if they have any actual evidence to implicate him. Rafe calls it an ongoing investigation. Sloan calls it a witch hunt. Sloan tells Eric that they’ve wasted enough of their time. Jada knows she wants to protect her brother, but warns that she’s not doing him any favors by covering up for him. Rafe suggests maybe Sloan is also covering herself and she’s been working with Colin all along. Sloan denies that but Jada says she clearly knows more than she’s letting on. Eric advises Sloan to tell the truth if Colin is responsible, before anything worse happens. Sloan then breaks down crying and admits it was Colin who committed the crimes against Paulina and Chanel.

Colin brings Paulina to his hotel room. Paulina tells him to let her go but Colin refuses. Paulina says she’s sure someone saw him force her to walk over here so they are going to call the police. Colin insists that it was deserted and they came in the back entrance. Paulina pleads with him to send Abe some help to give him a fighting chance. Colin says they don’t have time for that as he has a lot to accomplish tonight. Paulina questions what that means. Colin says he wants to show her something.

Chanel questions Talia’s boyfriend being Sloan’s brother which means he is Nathan and Martha’s son. Talia confirms that is true and explains that Colin is still traumatized by what happened and blames Chanel for his parents’ death. Talia adds that while Sloan was pursuing legal action to get back at her, Colin had this whole plan. Chanel realizes that Talia knew who she was when she signed up for the bakery. Talia admits that one of Colin’s plans was for her to get close to her, so she could lead her on and break her heart. Talia adds that it wasn’t Colin’s only goal. Chanel realizes that Colin is the one who has been harassing her and Paulina, and that Talia was helping him.

Gabi tells Stefan that she was not expecting this. Stefan says they can pump the brakes if it’s too soon. Gabi says she just didn’t think it was on their radar. Stefan says it has been ever since he got out from Dr. Rolf’s spell but she was under Li’s contract. Stefan realizes that no DiMera Shares or anything are worth not being able to hug, kiss, and make love to her again. Stefan declares that now they are so close to where they were when they got torn apart. Stefan jokes that he’s still waiting for an answer. Gabi agrees to marry him and accepts his proposal as they kiss.

Nicole claims to EJ that she meant that she’s only in the early stages of menopause. EJ asks if they aren’t the same thing. Nicole insists that they are different and questions EJ making a big deal out of it. EJ apologizes as he didn’t know it was such a touchy subject for her. Nicole complains that it’s because of men’s attitudes about it. EJ kisses her and suggests they head to the bedroom. EJ adds that he still finds her incredibly desirable and says she’s never looked sexier as they kiss.

Rafe asks Sloan how long she has known it was her brother. Sloan swears that she just found out yesterday when she overheard them talking at the station about a shifty guy named Colin with a British accent, so it sort of fell in to place for her. Sloan admits she went to the motel to confront him. Rafe asks if Colin admitting everything. Sloan confirms that Colin was determined to get justice for their parents after the legal system failed them, but he didn’t want her to know because he knew she would try to talk him out of it, which she did, and that’s when she told him to leave town immediately or else she would turn him in. Jada asks if he said he was working alone. Sloan says she assumed he was because he didn’t mention anyone else. Rafe asks where Colin is now. Sloan doesn’t know since he checked out of the motel.

Chanel asks if Sloan was in on it but Talia says it was just her and Colin. Chanel questions letting Sloan take the blame. Talia explains that she’s a lawyer, so they figured she would exonerate herself. Chanel argues that they were all ready to torch Sloan at the stake while they flew under the radar.

Talia cries that it wasn’t supposed to happen and swears nobody was supposed to get seriously hurt. Chanel argues that someone could’ve died. Talia cries that it was only supposed to hurt her business. Chanel talks about what the Bakery meant to her and how much she worked for it.

Stefan declares that once they are married, they are going to run the company together as Mr. & Mrs. DiMera.

Sloan complains to Rafe and Jada that she just told them that she had nothing to do with Colin’s crimes. Rafe points out that she knew about it and told him to flee, which makes her an accessory after the fact. Sloan argues that she just handed them their entire case so she thought they would cut her a break. Eric agrees that they should since Sloan cooperated and told them everything that she knew. Jada says that’s to be determined and she has a lot more questions that Sloan can answer at the police station. Rafe adds that maybe if Colin hears that Sloan has been arrested, he’ll come forward and take responsibility. Eric calls this unnecessary since Sloan said she would turn Colin in if he did anything else. Jada reads Sloan her rights and officially arrests her.

Colin shows Paulina more photos from his family photo album and tells a story of a family vacation together.

Colin tells her not to worry as Chanel is not in any immediate danger, unlike her.

Chanel realizes Talia has been playing her this whole time and pretending to be her friend and interested in her. Talia tells her that she has to understand that Colin convinced her that she was an awful monster who killed his mother and seduced his father. Chanel says that’s not what happened. Talia cries that she knows that now and when she heard Chanel’s side of the story, she started having doubts as she couldn’t imagine someone so kind doing something so evil. Chanel points out that it didn’t stop her and she kept going on with Colin’s twisted schemes. Talia cries that Colin convinced her that he couldn’t live without getting justice for his parents and she loves him. Chanel questions how she could love someone who would set out to destroy people’s lives. Talia thought he was justified somehow. Chanel argues that there is no way to justify what he did. Chanel calls Colin a psycho and says Talia is one too. Chanel screams at Talia to get out and says she never wants to see her again. Talia then exits in tears as Chanel breaks down crying.

Gabi tells Stefan that they should go big for their second wedding and invite everyone from DiMera. Stefan agrees and says they will prove to be a true power couple. EJ argues that it will only prove that Stefan is a fool for falling for a gold digger. Stefan says that EJ just can’t stand to see them happy. Stefan offers champagne to celebrate which Nicole turns down. Gabi comments on never seeing Nicole turn down a drink. Nicole responds that she doesn’t want to celebrate their unholy union. EJ says that makes two of them. Stefan decides that’s more champagne for them. Stefan then takes the bottle with them as he and Gabi exit the room.

Jada brings Sloan to the interrogation room at the police station. Eric argues that she knows Sloan doesn’t deserve to be arrested.

Jada asks if he gave any indication of where he was going next. Sloan complains that they’ve already been over that she doesn’t know where he is. Jada warns her to drop the attitude and says if she would’ve just turned her brother in then she wouldn’t be in this mess but now her psychotic brother is on the loose and who knows what he’ll do next. Sloan argues that he’s not dangerous and that Jada doesn’t know him. Jada responds that she knows him well enough to know that he somehow convinced her sister to do his dirty work and that makes him dangerous enough to her. Sloan questions what she is talking about.
