Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

Gabi and Stefan wake up in bed together. They talk about how they used to live in the DiMera Mansion as they kiss. Stefan says now they are back where they belong and soon Gabi’s divorce to Li will be final and they’ll be together forever. They decide to go for another round and continue kissing in bed.

EJ sits in the living room and thinks back to hearing Nicole on the phone about keeping a secret from him. Nicole walks in and points out that he hasn’t touched his breakfast, so she asks for his thoughts.

Eric and Sloan have breakfast at the Brady Pub. Eric points out that she has hardly touched her breakfast and guesses she’s still thinking about Paulina’s rant. Sloan complains that every time something awful happens, she gets blamed for it and it’s so unfair. Sloan apologizes and says she should focus on the positives like her and Eric officially being a thing now so to hell with everything else. Melinda then walks in and accuses Sloan of drugging everyone’s breakfast in Salem.

Rafe greets Jada at the police station and promises that he’s not hallucinating anymore and even skipped breakfast to be sure. Abe arrives and declares that he is not happy with them. Rafe asks what’s wrong. Abe says he doesn’t give a damn about the kiss between them while Rafe was hallucinating but complains that there has been no arrest in this drugging debacle and the only person to pay the price is Chanel. Abe questions what the holdup is and why Sloan is still walking the streets.

Chanel and Talia are at the Bakery as Chanel complains about no customers coming anymore. Talia apologizes and says the breakfast biscuits were her recipe so she feels guilty. Chanel asks why since it’s not like she drugged the biscuits so she asks what she’s feeling guilty about. Talia thinks back to drugging the biscuits. Paulina then arrives and greets them. Chanel offers her a bear claw but Paulina says she’s not in the mood.

Nicole reminds EJ that he asked for her thoughts earlier and asks if something is bothering him. EJ claims he’s just tired and complains about the racket coming from Stefan’s room last night.

Gabi and Stefan joke about being heard downstairs and say they love each other. Gabi says she could stay like this with him all day. Stefan reminds her that they have pretty important plans today as they kiss.

Sloan tells Melinda that it’s one thing for Paulina to make an accusation with no proof but calls it despicable and unethical for someone with a law degree to do the same. Melinda argues that Sloan is the only person that hates Chanel enough to want to kill her business. Melinda adds that the idea of Chanel and Paulina framing Sloan is ridiculous. Eric points out that there is no evidence so this is slander. Melinda calls this personal since she was drugged and ended up assaulting Stefan DiMera and spending the night at the hospital with Rafe in the room across from her. Sloan asks why she should give a damn since she had nothing to do with it. Melinda warns that Sloan has caught the wrong powerful people in her net. Melinda declares that she will make sure Sloan goes down for this and goes away for a long time.

Rafe tells Abe that they don’t have the evidence they need to tie Sloan to any of this. Abe questions there being no fingerprints or security footage. Rafe mentions that Jada interviewed Chanel and Talia, who accidentally left the security camera off. Jada mentions that Talia is still new at the job. Abe repeats that Sloan is still walking the streets. Jada points out that they can’t be sure it was Sloan.

Chanel assures Paulina that they checked the security footage this morning so no one could have tampered with these. Paulina admits she was worried about everyone being drugged but she knows there’s no way they could have been tampered with this time, so she’ll take a tray of bear claws to support her. Paulina talks about how much she loves the bakery. Chanel says she doesn’t have to prove anything as they know she’s on their side. Chanel cries that the business is doing really bad for the first time ever and they all know Sloan is to blame. Chanel complains that Sloan came to Salem to ruin her and now she is succeeding as her plan to destroy her is going really well. Paulina hugs Chanel as Talia watches on. Paulina swears she won’t stand by while Sloan continues to attack them. Paulina’s phone rings so she says she’ll be right back as she goes to answer it. Chanel tells Talia that she loves her mom, but Paulina can’t convince everyone to trust their treats. Chanel worries that she won’t be able to keep Talia hired. Talia tells her not to worry about her right now and encourages that they will be fine. Talia insists the bakery will make a grand recovery and be better than ever. Chanel appreciates her optimism but remains uncertain and tells Talia to keep her options open. Talia states that she is a baker now and this is where she belongs. Chanel repeats that there is zero money coming in and she can’t work for free. Talia says she can because she believes in her. Talia knows she’s new to all of this but says working with Chanel feels right like it was meant to be. Chanel calls her the best and hugs her.

Abe questions if Rafe and Jada are saying they believe Sloan is innocent. Jada repeats that they have no evidence, so it’s her job to study the facts and keep an open mind. Rafe agrees and asks if it’s possible that Abe is still close to this which could be clouding his judgment. Abe admits it is deeply personal. Abe declares that he loves his family and this town while right now, both are under attack.

Sloan tells Melinda that she can make threats but if the cops had anything on her, she’d be in custody. Melinda calls it fairly obvious that the crime happened the night before so she suggests Sloan work on inventing an alibi. Eric steps in and informs her that she doesn’t have to because Sloan was with him all night. Melinda says they better hope someone can back them up but Eric says when they spend the night together, it’s just the two of them together.

EJ complains to Nicole about Stefan moving Gabi back in to his family home without consulting him and says he should start eviction proceedings. Stefan walks in and reminds EJ that his name is on the deed since he owned the place before being shot. Gabi joins him and remarks that it feels wonderful to be back home. Stefan calls it a beautiful day. EJ warns that there could be a storm coming. Stefan remarks that he wouldn’t want to get caught in it and decides they better get to work. EJ says he’s heading there too and he’s sure Nicole and Gabi can hold things down here. Stefan then reveals that Gabi is coming with them because he hired her. EJ questions Stefan not running it by him and suggests he go ahead and fire her which they argue over. EJ reminds Stefan that as co-CEOs, every executive level hire must be approved by both of them. Stefan explains that Gabi is not coming on as an executive. Nicole jokes that she must be joining the custodial staff. Stefan reveals that Gabi will be a consultant which he doesn’t need approval on. Stefan remarks that it looks like EJ got caught in the rain.

Sloan asks Melinda if she’s going to put an ex-priest in front of a jury and accuse him of lying. Melinda suggests reminding the jury that Eric posed illegally as a paralegal to interfere in a police investigation which she recalls Sloan not being too happy about it but remarks that things have changed. Sloan tells Melinda that she can go now because they would like to enjoy their breakfast alone in peace, so Melinda then walks out of the Pub. Sloan thanks Eric for having her back. Eric encourages that she did great and asks what’s wrong. Sloan knows she came off confident and it seems like she can prove her innocence, but she admits she’s terrified that they are coming for her and they’re not going to miss.

Rafe tells Jada that the trick seems to be nailing down exactly when the biscuits got drugged. Jada agrees that will help eliminate suspects and suggests starting now. Jada figures they should start from the beginning with the source.

Paulina joins Chanel and Talia and tries to convince customers to come to the Bakery. Chanel then gets a call from Jada and asks if she arrested Sloan. Jada responds that the investigation is still ongoing so she wants to go over everything with her again. Chanel says she already told her everything she knows which isn’t much. Chanel says she gets it and hangs up. Chanel informs Talia that she has to go to the police station and they want Talia there too.

EJ tells Stefan that they have no need for a consultant. Stefan says they have an urgent need and he hopes Gabi can assist them in building the company to get rid of as much waste as possible. Gabi can’t wait to dive right in. Stefan declares that Gabi’s first order of business will be to evaluate EJ. EJ argues that he’s been focusing on the day to day of the company while Stefan has been wasting company time trying to divert Li’s shares to Gabi. EJ decides he might need a consultant of his own and asks Nicole if she’s interested in the position. Nicole reminds EJ that she has a job at Basic Black. EJ says she has served them well there but at Basic Black, she is off on her own with Brady and working remotely. EJ invites Nicole to come aboard at DiMera Enterprises where she can work by his side and make great use of her talents. Nicole calls it sudden but accepts the job. EJ declares that it will be one big happy family at corporate headquarters from now on.

Paulina remains at the Bakery and tries calling out free samples to customers. Abe comes by and jokes about changing her careers. Paulina complains that Sloan’s attacks have hit Chanel’s business harder than they could have imagined. Paulina encourages Abe to try a sample to help convince the customers. Abe hesitates but accepts and calls it delicious. Abe shouts out that it’s the perfect way to start their day but Paulina points out that still no one is coming. Abe calls it a shame and asks where Chanel is. Paulina explains that Rafe and Jada called her and Talia to the police station to go over everything that happened. Paulina hopes they can finally burst Sloan’s balloon.

Chanel and Talia go to the police station. Rafe thanks them for coming back in. Chanel thinks they would save a lot of time by just arresting Sloan. Jada assures that if the evidence leads to Sloan, they will do just that. Jada suggests Chanel stay and have a chat. Talia questions them talking to them separately. Rafe explains that they will take both accounts with no distractions. Rafe then takes Talia to the interrogation room. Jada sits with Chanel and thanks her again for coming in. Chanel repeats that she’s already told her everything she knows. Jada wants her to tell her everything again starting from baking the biscuits. Chanel states that it was Talia’s recipe.

Rafe tells Talia that he knows this is intense but promises it’s just routine so she has no need to be nervous. Talia assures that she’s not nervous and wants to help find whoever is doing this to her friend Chanel and trying to ruin her business and her life.

Chanel tells Jada that all their ingredients were delivered by their regular service that afternoon, so they couldn’t have been tampered with before they got to work and they didn’t stray from Talia’s recipe.

Talia talks to Rafe about making a lot of biscuits and giving away free samples then they set aside the dough.

Chanel tells Jada about closing the Bakery a little earlier, she and Talia went their separate ways, and then she went home to Paulina.

Talia reminds Rafe that after closing down, she came to the police station and talked to him. Rafe recalls she was looking for Jada. Talia admits maybe she was a little too pushy in talking about Rafe’s possible feelings for Jada. Rafe asks where Talia went after leaving the station. Talia says she went back to the town square.

Chanel tells Jada that she went back to the town square to pick up dinner for her and Paulina and she was really angry after Paulina told her about Sloan’s threatening texts, then she ran in to Sloan.

Talia tells Rafe that she got to the square just in time because Chanel and Sloan were having a knock down, drag out fight, so she had to stop them. Talia mentions Sloan saying cruel things about Chanel and Paulina and then stormed off. Talia adds that Chanel was very upset and had a cut on her arm, so she tried to calm her down.

Chanel tells Jada about how Talia patched her up with the first aid kit at the bakery and the dough was still there, resting and untouched. Chanel mentions they turned off the security system when they went in so no one could have gotten in before then.

Talia tells Rafe that when they were done, Chanel invited her to have dinner with her and her family which excited her so much that she forgot to turn the alarm back on and guesses she wasn’t thinking.

Chanel tells Jada that she returned to work at 5 AM which Jada notes leaves 12 hours unaccounted for.

Talia blames herself and can’t believe she forgot to turn the alarm back on.

Chanel tells Jada that it’s not Talia’s fault as it’s not like she was in the habit of turning the security system on as she hasn’t been working there that long. Jada asks about dinner. Chanel says there’s not much to tell and that they just had dinner from the bistro and sat around talking.

Talia tells Rafe that she went straight home after dinner.

Chanel tells Jada that she knows the rest and it was a total disaster. Rafe and Talia then come out from the interrogation room. Rafe thanks Chanel and Talia for coming in again. Chanel hopes it helps them lock up Sloan for good as she’s the only one who would do this. Talia agrees and can’t think of anyone else who would want to hurt Chanel like this. Jada tells Talia that she will see her at home later. Chanel tells Talia that she’s just going to go lock up for the day. Talia encourages that customers will come back as they exit. Melinda arrives and asks if there’s a new development. Rafe says they were just going over the timeline. Melinda says they have their work cut out for them as she just saw Sloan and she has a solid alibi in Eric Brady spending the night with her. Jada argues that Sloan could have slipped out during the night while Eric was asleep. Melinda wishes her luck proving that and asks if there are any other suspects. Jada says they are working on it.

Sloan calls it a hell of a way to start the day. Eric encourages that the truth is on her side. Sloan worries that doesn’t matter but insists that she did not drug the dough. Sloan says someone did and made everyone in town go totally nuts, including Eric and Nicole.

Nicole tells EJ that he outdid himself and she was impressed. EJ knows he put her on the spot but he knew he could count on her as he hugs her. Stefan and Gabi come downstairs and ask if they are ready to go. Stefan suggests they carpool and tells EJ to drive as they exit the mansion.

Eric asks Sloan who else has it in for Chanel. Sloan complains that everyone in town seems to love Chanel and Paulina. Sloan notes that Melinda did make one good point that Chanel and Paulina wouldn’t hurt Chanel’s business just to get at her. Eric agrees and says they first must figure out who the intended target was. Sloan wonders if it was Chanel or her.

Rafe and Jada go over when Chanel and Talia left the bakery without setting the security system and then they both had dinner with Paulina and Abe. Rafe notes that Talia went straight home while Chanel stayed behind and they didn’t see each other again until 5 AM the next morning. Jada stops and questions what he just said.

Chanel returns to the town square and thanks Paulina for watching over the Bakery and says she’s just going to close up for the day. Paulina asks how it went at the police station. Chanel says she will fill her in later, but worries that she’s going to lose her bakery. Paulina promises that she won’t let that happen and offers to cook a meal for her and Talia tonight and then they can figure out how to get her business running again. Chanel calls that really sweet but says she already sent Talia home for the day.

Talia goes to someone’s hotel room.

Rafe doesn’t understand as he just asked Jada what happened after Talia and Chanel left the Bakery but she hasn’t answered and seems kinda upset. Jada reveals that she just realized what Talia told him is not true.

Talia arrives at the hotel room of a man, who says it’s about time as he brings her inside and they begin kissing.

Update written by Joseph

Johnny sits in the town square and tries to call Wendy but she doesn’t answer. Chanel approaches and asks if something is wrong. Johnny informs her that Wendy is rejecting his calls and is obviously still upset about him proposing to Chanel. Chanel asks if Wendy heard they were drugged., like everyone else who ate the tainted biscuits. Johnny says apparently not because Wendy left town to see Tripp.

In Seattle, Washington, Wendy tells Tripp that Johnny called her four more times, so she blocked him. Tripp questions why Johnny is calling her if he’s marrying Chanel. Wendy guesses Johnny wants to alleviate his guilt but refuses to give him the satisfaction. Wendy declares that she doesn’t want to deal with Johnny, especially since she and Tripp are technically on their first date. Tripp asks how it’s going for her. Wendy says it’s going great and she can’t wait to see what he has planned next.

In Greece, Chad and Stephanie thank Harris for rescuing them from Thomas Banks. Kayla asks who he is, so Stephanie introduces her to Harris. Harris tells her that he’s glad she’s safe. Kayla points out that she is, but Steve isn’t and he’s being held captive. Stephanie says that Harris will never believe who kidnapped her parents. Harris reveals that he actually knows who it was.

At the edge of the cliff in Greece, Bo declares that the only way he can be the man he’s meant to be is to get rid of Hope. Bo then aims his gun at Hope. Hope says no and tells Bo to listen to her. Hope calls him Bo Brady and says that is who he is, the best man she knows and the love of her life which will never change. Hope adds that she knows his love for her is never going to change no matter what he says or does. Hope declares that the one fundamental truth between them is that they love each other to the very depths of their soul. Bo continues having flashbacks. Hope adds that no matter what happens here, nothing will ever extinguish their love. Hope says so many people tried to keep them apart but they couldn’t do it and they’ve overcome every obstacle in their way. Hope says Bo can tell himself that he’s better off without her but he will never believe it. Hope adds that his heart is tugging at him because it’s the truest part of him and it knows he belongs with her. Hope reminds Bo that she is his Fancyface as they flashback to their relationship over the years. Bo holds back tears as Hope seems to have gotten through to him, but Shawn and Steve arrive and upon seeing Bo holding Hope at gunpoint, Shawn shoots Bo. Hope then rushes to Bo’s side to check on him and cries over him on the ground.

Chad asks how Harris knows it was Bo that kidnapped Steve and Kayla. Harris explains that he ran in to Bo at Victor’s childhood home. Stephanie questions him not saying anything. Harris apologizes for not speaking up sooner. Chad understands he didn’t want to lose Hope. Stephanie argues that her parents lives were in danger. Harris says that he asked Bo where Kayla was but he denied it, so he just believed that Bo would not hurt his own sister. Stephanie asks what if he did. Harris admits he was wrong for not telling everybody and he’s sorry. Harris adds that he finally came clean to Hope. Kayla asks if he told her about Bo. Harris says he sent her to the villa but he didn’t tell her that Bo is alive. Kayla says that she obviously knows now and she can’t imagine what Hope is going through.

Hope breaks down crying over Bo. Steve takes Shawn’s phone to call for help. Shawn apologizes to Hope and says he saw that Bo had his gun pointed at Hope. Hope understands but insists that Bo wasn’t going to hurt her. Shawn asks how she knows since Harris said that Bo had been brainwashed. Hope declares that she got through to him and Bo came back to her as she cries over his body.

Chanel tells Johnny that she’s sorry to hear that Wendy left town, but suggests giving her space and then explaining what happened when she gets back. Johnny worries that Wendy and Tripp could be together by then. Chanel asks what else he can do. Johnny says he was going to go to Seattle tonight but his flight got cancelled. Johnny then gets an alert that his texts are not going through so he realizes Wendy blocked his number. Johnny declares that the drugged biscuits really screwed everything up. Chanel says he can blame Sloan for that. Johnny asks if the police proved it was her. Chanel says not yet but it’s so obvious. Johnny tells Chanel that he’s really sorry she’s going through all of this. Leo approaches and calls them Salem’s newly engaged couple, then asks when the wedding day is.

Tripp admits to Wendy that he hadn’t thought of anything else for their date yet but he’s not giving up. Tripp decides they are going out. Wendy suggests going to the club. Tripp jokes about his bad dance moves so they decide against that. Tripp suggests going to the pier and riding the Ferris wheel but Wendy is afraid of getting stuck. Tripp encourages that it will be fun. Wendy says they can just stay home but Tripp insists that she didn’t come all this way just to hang out in the apartment. Tripp promises that the Ferris wheel won’t get stuck and then they can walk along the pier and have cotton candy. Tripp vows to show her a good time, even if it kills him. Wendy accepts and they exit together.

Kayla says maybe seeing Hope will shake off Bo’s brainwashing. Kayla adds that Bo couldn’t bring himself to hurt Steve so she can’t imagine he would hurt Hope. Chad asks if he’s been in touch. Harris says no but Shawn arrived and went straight there, so he’s hoping to hear soon. Kayla feels they can’t wait since Steve is in trouble, so they need to go rescue him. Harris feels he’s the last person that Hope will want to see, so he will stay back and turn Thomas Banks in to local authorities. Stephanie tells him that he can’t because Thomas bribed them last time to get free. Harris decides he’ll contact the ISA then and return the prisms as well. Chad and Stephanie exit. Harris stops Kayla and tells her that he regrets not telling her the truth sooner and he’s really sorry as he just didn’t want to lose Hope.

Hope gets Bo in a hospital where doctors work to revive him as his blood pressure is dropping. They tell Hope she can’t be there but she refuses to leave until she knows he’s okay. Bo then flatlines so the doctor calls for the paddles.

Steve checks on Shawn. Shawn doesn’t know how he’s feeling as he is trying to process that his father is alive and now because of him, they might lose him all over again. Steve encourages that Bo is a fighter and after everything he’s been through, he doesn’t think one bullet will take him down. Shawn agrees that Bo has to be okay.

The doctor tries to revive Bo but are unsuccessful as Hope pleads with them. The doctor informs Hope that he’s so sorry but Bo is gone. Hope breaks down crying for Bo to wake up.

Leo tells Johnny and Chanel to give him all the details. Chanel doesn’t know what he’s heard. Leo responds that he heard all the tea as his sources told him that Johnny proposed to Chanel again and she said yes again. Johnny admits that’s true. Leo asks Chanel to show off the ring but Chanel says there isn’t one which Leo questions. Johnny hopes Leo will stop talking and go away as he shouts that he and Chanel are not getting married. Leo says he doesn’t have to yell and questions them being on again, off again. Chanel clarifies that Johnny is not interested in her anymore. Leo then asks if there’s someone else, claiming he won’t print it and is just curious. Chanel points out that if Johnny doesn’t tell him, he’ll just make something up. Johnny responds that he’s dating Wendy Shin. Leo notes that must have been awkward and asks how Wendy handled the news of his engagement.

Tripp and Wendy return to the apartment. Wendy jokes that when he said he’d show her a good time even if it killed him, she didn’t think he was being literal. Tripp points out that he told her the Ferris wheel wouldn’t get stuck while Wendy notes that they did not actually get on the Ferris wheel. Tripp wonders if he’s the only one to trip and fall while getting on to the Ferris wheel. Wendy laughs about how funny it was. Tripp complains that he injured himself while Wendy calls it just a bruise. Wendy adds that Tripp said he would show her a good time and she had one, even if it was at his expense.

Chad, Kayla, and Stephanie return to the wine cellar but find Steve is gone. Stephanie wonders if Bo took Steve somewhere else while Kayla suggests Hope could have got through to Bo and he let Steve go. Chad finds the hole in the wall and thinks Steve escaped. Kayla admits that sounds right. Stephanie wonders where Steve went.

Steve questions Shawn about Harris knowing Bo was alive and not saying anything, calling him a son of a bitch. Shawn explains that Harris didn’t want to lose Hope but his conscience got the better of him, so he sent Hope to the villa. Shawn adds that once Harris relayed the story to him, he raced over and didn’t know what to expect, then he gets there to see his dad pointing a gun at his mom. Shawn says all he could think was how Harris said Megan had turned Bo and that Bo had probably killed Kate, so there was no way he was going to let that happen to Hope too. Steve understands as it looked the same way to him. Shawn complains that they were both wrong as Hope had gotten through to Bo and he was the same man that they remember. Shawn cries that this means he shot his dad for no reason. Shawn worries about if Bo dies as Steve hugs him.

Hope pleads with the doctor to do something more but he says they’ve tried everything and he’s afraid it’s too late. Hope cries that she’s already lost Bo once and can’t do it again. Hope continues pleading with Bo to wake up. The doctor says he understands it’s difficult. Hope says they were apart for so long and she just got him back but they didn’t get any time together, so this can’t be how it ends. The doctor repeats that he’s very sorry but there’s nothing they can do as Bo is dead. Hope then faints and dreams of reuniting Bo without the part where Bo was shot.

Johnny explains to Leo that Wendy was obviously upset, but he hopes to smooth things over by explaining to her that he was high on biscuits. Leo questions these biscuits that everyone keeps talking about and if they are some new designer drug that he’s missing out on. Chanel clarifies that he’s talking about her breakfast biscuits. Leo questions her being the hookup. Chanel blames Sloan for half the town being on a hallucinogenic and suggests Leo put that in his column. Leo responds that he can’t because Sloan is threatening to sue him for libel, unless she has concrete proof. Chanel admits she doesn’t, so Leo says he will run his original story about Johnny and Chanel’s reunion. Chanel argues that they aren’t even together. Johnny adds that they only did this because of the drugs. Leo wonders if it’s possible that the drugs brought their true feelings to the surface as he then walks away.

Wendy brings Tripp frozen peas to put on his bruised ribs. Tripp says it’s fine but Wendy insists on helping with the swelling. They joke with each other and end up kissing.

Shawn tells Steve that he’s sorry. Steve hates to leave him like this but he needs to get to the lab to make sure Kayla is alright. Shawn tells him he should go and he’ll call if anything changes. Steve goes to give Shawn his phone back right when Stephanie calls. Steve answers and informs Stephanie that they are at a local hospital. Stephanie asks if they are alright. Steve responds that they are fine but it’s her uncle Bo.

Hope’s dream of reuniting with Bo continues where they agreed to never be apart again.

Chanel tells Johnny that Leo just lives for the drama and she already knows that Wendy is the one that Johnny wants to be with. Johnny says the question is if Wendy wants to be with him and worries that she probably hates him now. Chanel offers to help by trying to call Wendy. Johnny points out that Li already tried, so he doesn’t think Wendy will listen to her. Chanel decides she will call Tripp since they are friends and then she can explain to him what really happened.

Tripp and Wendy kiss until Tripp’s phone rings. Tripp worries that it could be about Kayla but sees that it’s Chanel. Wendy questions why she would be calling. Tripp doesn’t know but decides he should hear her out. Tripp answers and tells Chanel that he hears congratulations are in order. Chanel tells him that he has to let her explain. Chanel declares that what Wendy saw wasn’t real. Tripp asks if Wendy was hallucinating. Chanel responds that she wasn’t, but they were. Tripp questions what she’s talking about. Chanel explains that she and Johnny were not in their right minds and high on biscuits. Tripp is confused. Chanel knows it sounds crazy but she’s telling the truth that they accidentally ingested a powerful hallucinogenic along with a lot of other people. Chanel calls it a long story and declares that they are not engaged and that Johnny wants to be with Wendy.

Kayla, Stephanie, and Chad join Steve and Shawn at the hospital. Steve hugs Kayla and Stephanie, telling them how good it is to see them. Stephanie says she took Kayla to get checked out but she insisted on coming here. Kayla asks about Bo being shot. Steve confirms that Hope is in with him now. Chad questions what happened and who shot him. Shawn admits it was him and that he made a terrible mistake.

Hope continues dreaming of a romantic reunion with Bo. Hope then wakes up in the hospital with a woman named Angela from the trauma unit at her side. Hope looks over and sees Bo’s hospital bed is now empty, so she asks if they already took him. Angela reveals they took Bo in to surgery. Hope is thrilled and hugs her. Angela reveals that after Hope passed out, Bo’s heart began beating again and she’s never seen anything like it, calling it a miracle. Hope gives thanks to God. Angela clarifies that Bo is not out of the woods yet, but it’s clear that he is not giving up and she suspects that Hope may be the reason. Hope hugs her and thanks her.

Johnny tells Wendy on the phone that he was drugged and lost in his memories of his wedding to Chanel, but now that he’s sober, he swears that Wendy is the only woman he wants. Wendy says it sounds so crazy that it must be true. Johnny asks if she believes him. Wendy confirms that she does. Johnny says that makes him happy so now things can just go back to the way they were.

Stephanie brings Kayla some water and mentions that Chad went to the hotel to get some clothes for Kayla. Shawn questions there being no word on Bo. Kayla is sure tehy are doing their best. Shawn decides he’s going to get answers but Hope arrives and hugs him. Shawn asks about Bo. Hope admits she almost lost him again, but he’s in surgery. Hope hugs Kayla, thankful that she’s alright. Kayla asks about Hope getting through to Bo. Hope talks about how stubborn he is and says she just kept talking to him until she got through. Shawn remarks that Hope and Bo would be together now if it wasn’t for him.

Chad runs in to Harris at the hotel and asks how it went with Thomas Banks. Harris confirms he’s now in ISA custody and asks if they found Steve. Chad confirms they did and that everyone is at the hospital. Harris asks why the hospital and what happened.

Kayla assures Shawn that it was an accident as he had a split second to make a decision and did what he thought was best. Steve encourages focusing their energy on praying for Bo. The doctor enters and announces that Bo made it through surgery and his vitals have stabilized, but his injury caused a lot of damage to his system so there is a new complication. Hope asks what it is. The doctor then reveals that Bo has fallen in to a coma.

John questions what Andrew means by saying Bo has Kayla. Roman asks if he’s saying that his brother Bo is alive. Andrew knows it sounds crazy but that’s what Megan told them. Marlena declares that’s who it was then. John asks what she’s talking about. Marlena explains that they had found another cryogenic tube and assumed Megan was keeping someone else alive but didn’t know who. Marlena adds they thought it might be Stefano but Dr. Rolf said it wasn’t and he was about to tell them who it was but Megan interrupted. Roman asks what she is saying. Marlena responds that she thinks Megan might have been telling the truth.

Harris tells Megan on the phone that they are done and there is nothing left to say. Harris then hangs up and Shawn shows up at his door. Harris invites him in and asks why he’s here in Greece. Shawn responds that after Hope told him that Kayla and Steve are missing, he decided to come see if he could help. Shawn asks if there’s any leads but Harris says there has not been a word. Shawn mentions Hope not being in her room, so he assumes she is out looking for them now. Shawn asks if he knows where Hope is at. Harris confirms that he does.

Steve bangs on the wine cellar door, asking if anyone is out there. Steve decides he has to get himself out.

Stephanie tells Kayla how good it is to see her and asks where Steve is. Kayla responds that Steve is not there as he’s being held captive. Stephanie questions who is holding him. Kayla responds that it’s her Uncle Bo.

Hope arrives at Victor’s childhood home with her gun raised and asks if anyone is there. Hope looks around the house, asking if anyone is there. Bo then comes in behind her, leaving Hope in shock.

Roman can’t believe Bo is alive. John calls it one for the books, even for Salem. Roman questions if Megan has kept him locked away in a cryogenic tube all this time. Andrew confirms that’s what it sounds like. Roman argues that if Bo has Kayla then Kayla is okay because Bo wouldn’t hurt his own sister or anybody. Andrew is not so sure that’s true. Roman insists that he knows Bo. Andrew states that he knows how Bo used to be, but reveals that Megan also told them that Bo is the one who killed Kate.

Steve tries breaking down the door but can’t and decides there has to be another way out.

Stephanie questions Kayla saying that Bo is alive. Chad asks if she actually saw him. Kayla confirms that she managed to get away from Dr. Rolf on the island and ran right in to Bo. Kayla explains that Megan had Bo cryogenically preserved just like she and Marlena were. Chad questions why Bo didn’t just take Kayla back to Salem if they managed to escape. Kayla responds that Bo doesn’t want to go back to Salem.

Hope questions if this is possible and if she’s really seeing what she thinks she is seeing. Hope asks Bo if it’s really him as she puts her gun down. Hope approaches Bo and touches his face as she begins to cry and hugs him.

Roman argues that it’s not possible because Bo would not kill anyone, let alone his wife Kate. Andrew says he did not want to believe it but Megan was adamant that it was not Thomas Banks, it was Bo. John questions believing a word from Megan. Roman wants to go back to the prison to get the truth out of Megan tonight. Andrew argues that Roman is a civilian and it’s long past visiting hours. Andrew adds that there is no guarantee that Megan would give them any more information. John doubts Megan will change her story now. Roman says he’ll give her a reason. Marlena tells Roman that he won’t do that because it’s not who he is. Roman questions what the hell he’s supposed to be and if he’s supposed to wait around to find out if his brother killed the woman he loves. Marlena knows it’s hard on him but argues they are focusing way too much on Megan. Marlena declares that they aren’t getting any more answers tonight. Marlena offers to drive Roman home so he can get some rest.

Stephanie tells Kayla that none of this makes any sense and questions Bo not wanting to go back to his family and life in Salem after all these years. Kayla confirms he doesn’t and says that’s why he’s holding her here. Kayla explains that Megan and Dr. Rolf used the prisms to create a youth serum and that’s why Megan had her and Marlena to use as guinea pigs. Stephanie questions this serum being what Bo wants now. Kayla says that’s part of it but he really wants to build his own empire like Victor did. Stephanie questions when Bo ever wanted to be like Victor since he’s always been a Brady at heart. Stephanie asks what’s going on since none of this sounds like uncle Bo. Kayla agrees that it doesn’t at all but now she’s afraid that Steve is going to pay the price.

Steve searches the wine cellar but can’t find a crawl space or an air vent. Steve grabs a spoon and begins digging away at one of the room’s old walls.

Harris tells Shawn that Hope is at Victor’s childhood home. Harris explains that he checked it yesterday and he didn’t find something, but someone. Harris then reveals that it was Shawn’s father.

Hope cries that she still can’t believe this as Harris didn’t tell her what she would find here and just that she would understand when she got there. Hope says she never in a million years thought it would be Bo. Hope asks Bo how this is possible that he’s here and alive. Hope asks if she’s dreaming. Bo confirms it’s not a dream. Hope asks if Bo has been here the whole time. Bo says it’s just been the last few days. Hope asks about Harris finding him and says she doesn’t understand since Harris told her the place was deserted. Hope questions why Harris lied to her if he knew Bo was there. Bo responds that he told Harris to lie.

John has cocoa with Andrew. John guesses Andrew is thinking about Roman. Andrew feels he has reason to worry about him with Bo being alive and learning that Bo might have killed Kate. John calls that a lot to take in. Andrew can’t help but think if there’s a way he could have not told Roman. John encourages him not to think like that because telling the truth is always the right thing to do. John bets that there’s more to the story than Megan is saying. John suggests they just focus on getting Kayla back and as crazy as it sounds, Bo. John adds that they need to keep in mind that if Bo has done all these terrible things, they have to remember he was under Megan’s influence and he knows how powerful that can be but also that it’s reversible. John declares that if all goes well, the story will end with Bo getting better and reuniting with Hope. Andrew hopes John is right that Bo makes a full recovery and he knows how happy that would make Hope and the rest of the family. Andrew adds that he can’t help thinking about Harris Michaels and how this is all going to affect him.

Shawn tells Harris that it’s impossible because his father is dead. Harris responds that he knows that’s what they’ve all believed but assures that he found him. Harris insists that he’s not lying to him. Shawn is shocked and asks if Hope knows. Shawn questions Harris finding Bo at Victor’s childhood home and then telling Hope that the place was empty. Shawn asks why he would lie to her like that. Harris admits that he was afraid to lose her. Shawn calls him a son of a bitch for not telling Hope that Bo is alive. Harris gets that he’s upset and explains that’s why he sent Hope to Victor’s home because he knew that Hope needed to see Bo for herself. Shawn reiterates that he can’t believe his father is alive. Harris adds that there’s something else he should know and states that Bo is not the man that Shawn remembers.

Hope questions Bo telling Harris not to tell her that he was here and asks why he would do that. Bo remarks that he figured her boyfriend wouldn’t want the competition since she is involved with him. Hope confirms that she is or was but cries that she thought Bo was dead. Hope calls Bo the love of her life and cries that he’s the only one she wants. Hope hugs Bo, but Bo then responds that he doesn’t want her.

Steve continues digging a hole in to the wall of the wine cellar.

Stephanie asks Kayla how Bo could hold her and Steve prisoner. Kayla responds that Megan messed with Bo’s head. Stephanie understands but asks if Kayla really thinks Bo would hurt Steve. Kayla points out that he hasn’t so far but they still need to get Steve out of the cellar which they can’t do by standing around. Kayla decides when they get back together, they can figure out how to help Bo. Thomas Banks then bursts in to the lab with his gun raised. Chad questions how he got out of jail. Thomas implies bribing the cops and swipes the prisms that Kayla had. Thomas says he now got what he wanted, except for his revenge as he aims his gun at Chad.

John asks why Andrew would be worried about Harris. Andrew explains that he spent some time with Harris while he was being deprogrammed and he was so guilt ridden over what Megan did to him and he was tortured by the time lost. Andrew adds that the only thing that seemed to lift his spirits was the possibility of a relationship with Hope but he was reluctant to pursue it because of Bo. Andrew admits that he encouraged Harris to go for it since Bo was thought to be dead but now that they know otherwise, he’s thrilled for all of them but after everything Harris has been through, he hates to see him get his heart broken.

Shawn questions Harris saying his father is not the man he remembers. Harris thinks Bo was brainwashed by Megan and mentions that he pulled a gun on him. Shawn argues that Bo doesn’t know him and probably thought he was a threat. Harris asks if he perceived Kate as a threat. Shawn asks where he’s going with this. Harris brings up Kate being on the island with the others. Shawn says they know she was killed by Thomas Banks. Harris argues that they don’t know that because Thomas denies it. Shawn questions just expecting him to confess. Harris informs Shawn that Thomas has an alibi. Shawn argues that there is no way that his father would kill Kate. Harris says the father he knew wouldn’t have but he’s telling him that something has changed. Harris knows what Megan’s brainwashing can do to somebody because it happened to him. Harris brings up that when he was under her control, he killed two men in cold blood and he has to live with that every day along with all the horrible things he did. Shawn asks Harris if he thinks Bo would hurt Hope and if he thinks Hope is in danger. Harris admits that he doesn’t know but he knows how much they loved each other and how strong their connection was, so if anybody can bring Bo out of this, it’s Hope. Harris feels it’s just better if he wasn’t there. Shawn angrily questions why the hell Harris sent Hope out there alone if he doesn’t know what Bo is capable of.

Hope questions Bo saying he doesn’t want her. Hope argues that he doesn’t mean that. Hope asks what is the matter with him. Hope asks if Bo is angry or mad or if he blames her for not finding him sooner. Hope argues that if she knew he was alive, she never would’ve stopped looking for him and would have spent every second looking for him. Hope cries about all these years of grief over thinking she had lost him. Hope states that she thought she had seen him for the last time and that he was dead. Bo says that was the last time because he’s no longer that man. Bo declares that thanks to Dr. Rolf, he was reborn. Bo tells her not to call him Brady because that’s not who he is. Bo declares that he is Victor Kiriakis’ son with Kiriakis blood running through his veins, so he’s going to make something of himself like Victor did. Hope asks why he would have to do that when he’s already someone. Hope calls him a great father, husband, and now a grandfather. Hope tells him that Ciara named her son after him and he looks just like Ciara did as a baby. Hope encourages that Bo will see himself as their family and friends have missed him and they will be so happy and thrilled when he comes back home with her. Bo shouts that he’s not going anywhere with her and complains that she doesn’t listen, just like Steve and Kayla. Hope then asks if Steve and Kayla are here. Bo responds that Kayla is taking care of something for him and Steve is locked up in the wine cellar.

Steve continues digging a hole in the wall and manages to push it through.

Hope questions Steve being locked up and reaches for her gun but Bo pulls his gun and says he can’t let her do that as he orders her to put it down.

John tells Andrew that it’s kind of him to think of Harris, but if he loses Hope, that’s not on him. Andrew points out that he encouraged Harris to go after her. John understands he had the best intentions. John comments that love doesn’t come with any guarantees and knows Andrew can relate. John brings up the connection Andrew had with his son Paul and thinking it was really special but it didn’t work out. Andrew then reveals that he and Paul have decided to give it another shot which excites John. Andrew says it feels trivial with everything else going on. John encourages that there is nothing trivial about love. Andrew talks about how he and Paul know it can be a challenge to make it work with their careers, but they realize they have something really special and he agrees it’s something to hold on to, so he wants to see how far it can go. John wishes them the best. John says he and Marlena had ups and downs over the years but he wouldn’t trade a moment of that. John feels there is a risk that relationships won’t work out but you have to weigh the rewards. John hopes his kids will always want to take that risk.

Stephanie sends a text while Thomas calls Chad the little bitch that shot his ear off. Stephanie calls it an accident. Thomas disagrees and argues that Chad didn’t hesitate to maim him. Stephanie argues that he can’t blame Chad when they were struggling over the gun. Thomas blames Chad and remarks that one good turn deserves another as he holds the gun up to Chad’s ear.

Shawn again questions Harris as to why he didn’t go to the farm with Hope if he was afraid that Bo was going to hurt her. Harris then gets a text from Stephanie that says SOS. Harris tells Shawn that he knows where they are, so he’ll go to them while Shawn gets to Hope as fast as they can and they rush out together.

Bo warns Hope that if she reaches for her gun again, she’ll regret it. Hope suggests they both go to the wine cellar to check on Steve. Bo responds that Steve is staying put, but Hope is coming with him.

Steve reaches through the hole in the wall and finds the door handle to unlock it. Steve escapes the wine cellar and goes to look for Kayla.

Bo brings Hope outside to the edge of a cliff. Hope asks where they are going. Bo tells her that they aren’t going anywhere and this is the end of the line. Hope questions what he means. Bo complains that he can’t be the man he’s meant to be in this world with her in it.

Thomas Banks tells Chad that it’s an ear for an ear. Stephanie asks what if he misses. Thomas argues that he’s a good shot and anything else is just collateral damage. Thomas warns Chad to hold still. Harris then bursts in and grabs Thomas from behind. Harris chokes Thomas out and declares that it looks like he showed up right in time.

Marlena returns home and asks John where Andrew went. John explains that he went to go check in with the ISA for any updates on Megan’s claims. John asks Marlena how she left Roman. Marlena responds that he was a lot calmer once she got him back to the Pub but his head is spinning, imagining that Bo has been alive all this time. John says he can barely wrap his head around it and questions if Bo could really be alive after all these years.

Steve searches the house for Kayla and Bo. Steve finds Hope’s gun and then exits.

Hope asks how Bo can say that and what that even means. Bo tells Hope that he’s making a new life for himself and becoming the man he was born to be. Bo complains that people keep pulling at him and now Hope is here, ruining everything. Bo screams that he’s Victor’s son and becoming the man he’s supposed to be while Hope keeps trying to pull him back to that life. Bo then gets a headache as he starts having flashbacks to his relationship with Hope. Bo declares that the only way he can be the man he’s meant to be is to get rid of Hope. Bo then aims his gun at Hope. Hope says no and tells Bo to listen to her. Hope calls him Bo Brady and says that is who he is, the best man she knows and the love of her life which will never change. Hope adds that she knows his love for her is never going to change no matter what he says or does. Hope declares that the one fundamental truth between them is that they love each other to the very depths of their soul. Bo continues having flashbacks. Hope adds that no matter what happens here, nothing will ever extinguish their love. Hope says so many people tried to keep them apart but they couldn’t do it and they’ve overcome every obstacle in their way. Hope says Bo can tell himself that he’s better off without her but he will never believe it. Hope adds that his heart is tugging at him because it’s the truest part of him and it knows he belongs with her. Hope reminds Bo that she is his Fancyface as they flashback to their relationship over the years. Bo holds back tears as Hope seems to have gotten through to him, but Shawn and Steve arrive and upon seeing Bo holding Hope at gunpoint, Shawn shoots Bo. Hope then rushes to Bo’s side to check on him and cries over him on the ground.

Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

John answers the door at home to see Roman has returned. John invites him in as Roman talks about being beat and unable to sleep while his flight got in late. Roman worries that it was too late to come over but John assures that it’s fine. Roman talks about being in Ireland to scatter Kate’s ashes and then spending time with Carrie and Austin, then Billie and Chelsea. John asks if he lost track of time because he’s been gone a lot longer than a few days. Roman admits he went off the grid because he needed some time to himself to get it together before he came home without Kate. John says he has a few things to tell him and reveals that he and Steve found Megan Hathaway. Roman asks if they killed her. John says no, but she’s in custody so she’s paying for what she did. Roman feels it’s not enough. John reveals there is something else he needs to know and it’s kind of complicated. Marlena then comes out from the bedroom, shocking Roman.

In Greece, Stephanie has a nightmare about being informed that Steve and Kayla were killed. Stephanie wakes up in a panic while Chad encourages that nobody is dead and they are okay.

Harris lays awake in bed, thinking back to Bo convincing him not to tell Hope that he’s alive and then lying to Hope about not finding anything. Hope then shows up at his door and asks him what’s wrong.

Steve and Kayla wake up in the wine cellar. Steve talks about Bo bringing her lab equipment so she can make that serum that he’s so obsessed with. Kayla says that would be a nightmare. Steve says when she gets that equipment, it will be a gamechanger because there will be chemicals and weapons. Kayla reminds Steve that Bo has a gun. Steve tries to come up with a plan but Kayla refuses to hurt Bo since he is her brother. Steve explains that they won’t hurt him, just disarm him and then get the hell out of here so they can get Bo the help he needs. Bo then enters with a bowl of cold stew. Bo tells Kayla to get up because they are leaving.

A prison guard brings Megan to the visiting room where Andrew Donovan informs her that they need to have a talk.

Roman questions how Marlena is alive. John says he was just about to tell him that when they tracked Megan down, they not only found Marlena but Kayla too. Roman doesn’t understand. John says they were right that Megan was the one who stole the Orchid from Kristen and had Dr. Rolf develop a serum while keeping them in a cryogenic state. Roman hugs Marlena and calls it incredible as he can’t believe she’s alive. Roman then asks what about Kate.

Stephanie tells Chad that her nightmare was so real. Chad relates to having nightmares after losing Abigail so he knows how scared she must be, but he really believes they will find Steve and Kayla alive. Stephanie thanks Chad and says she couldn’t get through this without him. Chad encourages that they are making progress and getting closer. Stephanie questions if they are since now they know it wasn’t Thomas Banks who took Kayla, she feels like they don’t have a clue who are they dealing with or why.

Steve asks Bo where they are going. Bo says not him, just Kayla. Bo reveals he found a Titan research lab that has everything she needs to create the formula for the serum. Steve says she’ll go over his dead body. Bo pulls his gun out and says that can be arranged.

Harris tells Hope that nothing’s wrong but admits he hasn’t slept as he can’t stop worrying about Steve and Kayla. Hope talks about racking her brain last night wondering why Thomas Banks tailed Stephanie and Chad, why he even cares about Kayla, and why Megan lied to them about who really did take her. Hope suggests Megan might be protecting someone but questions who she cares about enough to protect. Harris points out that Megan is also crazy. Hope states that Megan is not stupid and never does anything without a self-serving reason. Hope is frustrated that there’s so many questions but no good answers. Harris stops Hope and says there is something he has to tell her.

Chad tells Stephanie that he thinks it’s good that it wasn’t Thomas Banks who took Kayla since he is extremely dangerous. Stephanie worries that whoever has them may be worse. Chad doesn’t think so since whoever did it impersonated Shane Donovan and walked out with Steve without raising any suspicions. Stephanie calls that terrifying because it means they are really good at being a criminal. Chad is not so sure and says whoever it is let Kayla access a cell phone and hasn’t made any ransom demands. Stephanie wonders what he wants then. Chad says that’s the question since he can’t be taking orders from Megan anymore. Chad adds that there aren’t a lot of people that it could be. Chad mentions his father being a master criminal. Chad thinks the best clue they have is still Kayla saying Victor’s name. Chad believes Kayla will be at one of Victor’s properties and they still have a few to check out. Chad encourages Stephanie to have faith that they will find them today. Stephanie says she’s trying as Chad hugs her.

Megan asks what brings Andrew to Salem. Andrew says she did and informs her that their deal is off. Megan argues that he can’t do that since she told him who took Kayla. Andrew reveals that they know she lied.

Steve worries that if he lets Bo take Kayla out of here, he might never see her again. Bo argues that if he separates them, Kayla will have incentive to work faster to get back to Steve. Kayla questions how she knows for sure that Bo will even let her get back to Steve. Bo insists that he’s not here to ruin their lives and if they give him what he needs, then they can have their lives back if Steve doesn’t get in the way. Steve asks what if someone comes looking for them while they’re gone like Chad and Stephanie or Hope and Harris. Bo assures that no one is coming. Kayla asks how he can be so sure. Bo reveals that someone stopped by yesterday and they won’t be coming back.

Hope asks what Harris has to tell her. Harris hesitates and claims that he just wanted to tell her how much he cares about her and that he’s sorry as he feels what she and her family are going through is partly his fault. Hope argues that he’s doing everything he can now to help them. Hope brings up the cop at the police station giving her the most basic description of Steve’s kidnapper, which could be anyone. Hope hopes that the artist is back at the department today since if they can get a decent sketch of the guy, then they will know who they are looking for.

Roman questions Marlena saying that Kate was alive but now she’s dead. Marlena says she’s so sorry as she would’ve helped her but she couldn’t have. Roman questions whose ashes he had in the urn then. Marlena admits they don’t know. Roman asks about Kate’s body. John states that the ISA searched the island but haven’t been able to locate it. Roman doesn’t know why it’s hitting him so hard since he had already accepted the fact that Kate was gone. Marlena understands it’s a lot to process. Roman questions why Megan had to kill Kate. John points out that Megan said she didn’t and someone who worked for her did. Roman asks if that’s who they think has Kayla. John explains that Megan claimed it was Thomas Banks but he’s in custody in Greece and denying everything. John adds that apparently Thomas Banks has an ironclad alibi. Marlena tells Roman that Steve went to look for Kayla and now he’s missing as well. Roman complains that Megan took Kate from him not once but twice and now is the reason that Steve and Kayla are missing too. John informs him that Megan is in Statesville prison which Roman says is good because he doesn’t have far to go to choke the truth out of her.

Megan tells Andrew that she did not lie. Andrew informs her that Greek authorities arrested Thomas Banks and he insists that he did not take Kayla or kill Kate. Megan questions believing him. Andrew reveals that Thomas Banks has an alibi for when Kate was killed and Kayla disappeared as he was at Aristotle’s Retreat, a sex club, so there’s an orgy full of people who can verify. Megan can’t imagine Thomas Banks going out with one person, let alone an orgy full, so she calls that the most ridiculous alibi she can imagine. Andrew confirms that it checks out and reminds Megan that their deal relied on her supplying information that would lead them to Kayla, but she didn’t supply information and instead lied through her teeth which led them off on a wild goose chase instead of finding Kayla. Andrew declares that Megan will be relocated to a black site that will make this look like the Ritz.

Hope tells Harris that she knows the sketch artist is a long shot but they have nothing else. Stephanie and Chad arrive at the door. Hope hugs Stephanie and asks how she’s holding up. Stephanie says she’s doing well with only the occasional meltdown. Chad asks if they should divide up the list like they did before. They mention each having three sites left to check. Hope reminds them to call right away if they find anything, since whoever took Steve is probably just as dangerous as Thomas Banks. Stephanie stops and says she can’t wrap her mind around the fact that the ISA searched the whole island and Megan, Dr. Rolf, and Thomas Banks are all now in jail, then someone took Kayla but there was no one else there.

Kayla questions Bo saying that someone came by. Steve asks if it was Stephanie. Bo tells him it wasn’t. Steve asks who it was. Bo says it doesn’t matter as they checked the place off the list so they won’t be coming back. Bo warns that they won’t be rescued unless they do what he asks. Bo warns Steve that he’s dead if he moves a muscle as he walks Kayla out of the wine cellar. Bo orders Steve to stay and locks him back up as Steve screams in frustration.

Marlena tells Roman that no one will let him see Megan tonight and even if he could, she won’t tell him anything. John adds that it could screw up their chance to find Kayla. Roman feels he has to do something to help find Kayla. Roman declares that he failed Kate, so he can’t fail Kayla too. Marlena disagrees and argues that if anyone failed Kate, it was her since she was there. John decides they are not going to do this. John tells Roman that Chad and Stephanie are in Greece going through Victor’s properties while Hope and Harris are heading up the ISA investigation there. Roman questions Harris being there. John explains that ISA broke through his programming, so he’s on their side now. Roman asks if he’s sure about that.

Hope tells Harris that Stephanie has been through so much. Harris understands she’s scared and says this shouldn’t be happening to her. Hope guesses this is getting to Harris because he’s lost so much of his own life and now he’s putting it on hold to help her find people that he doesn’t even know. Harris responds that he’s no saint. Hope tells him that he’s definitely not boring. Hope says they will go find Steve and Kayla and bring them home because they have plans after all of this is over as she hugs him.

Bo brings Kayla to the Titan lab and assures it has all the supplies that she said she needed. Bo notes that Dr. Rolf was able to put the serum together in a couple of days so it shouldn’t take her too long. Bo warns Kayla not to do anything stupid because he has Steve. Kayla complains about him coercing her to do something that she doesn’t want by threatening the people she loves. Kayla asks what happens after she makes the serum and if she’s never going to see Bo again. Bo doesn’t see why she would want to since he’s given her plenty of reason to hate him. Kayla talks about when Bo was born and how she loved him ever since. Kayla declares that she wants her brother back. Bo says he will lock her in here and be back tomorrow. Kayla asks him to promise to use the serum for good. Bo responds that he will sell the formula to the highest bidder and everyone will know his name and Kayla’s too if she wants. Kayla says she doesn’t. Bo remarks that the Brady way is humble and quiet while he was never either of those things. Bo then storms out of the lab and locks Kayla inside.

Hope tells Harris that they should head to the police station. Harris stops her and says there’s no reason to go to the police station because there is something he has to tell her. Harris informs Hope that she needs to go to Victor’s childhood home. Hope points out that Harris already searched it and said there was nothing there. Harris admits that he lied.

Kayla looks over the serum and questions what the hell to do.

Chad and Stephanie arrive at the Titan lab. Stephanie comments that it looks deserted. Chad points out there is one more door but it’s locked. Kayla hears the door and believes Bo is coming back. Kayla grabs a weapon and declares no one is going to stop her from getting back to her family. Stephanie begins trying to pick the lock.

Megan pleads with Andrew not to send her away and says she’ll get him the formula so he’ll be rich but he’s not interested. Andrew says he only wants to find his aunt and uncle since now Steve is missing too. Andrew tells Megan that if she wants to keep their deal, she can tell him the truth about who really took Kayla and then when they find her safe, he’ll let Megan stay here in Statesville prison. Andrew warns that if they don’t find Kayla safe, Megan will find out first hand that they can be ruthless when exacting revenge so she better start talking right now. Andrew questions why Megan lied and why she didn’t want them to find Kayla. Megan says that’s not it. Megan thinks back to lying to Steve and Hope about Thomas taking Kayla so that Hope wouldn’t know Bo is alive. Andrew asks Megan if that’s not it, what is? Andrew adds that they are going to find this guy with or without her help. Megan asks how he knows it’s a guy. Andrew explains that he showed up at the police station in Greece, impersonating Shane, which is when he took Steve and the prisms. Andrew adds that they have a general idea of where he is and a general description of what he looks like. Andrew warns that if they find him without her help, she loses her leverage. Andrew asks what it’s going to be, staying in Statesville or the seventh circle of Hell?

Hope questions Harris saying he lied. Harris apologizes. Hope says this isn’t making any sense and questions why he would lie about that when he said he wanted to help. Harris says he does and she’s just going to have to see for herself. Hope doesn’t understand but Harris says she will when she gets there. Harris adds that he would go with her, but it’s something she has to do on her own. Hope questions that being all he’s going to tell her. Harris repeats that he’s sorry. Hope asks what for. Harris kisses her and tells Hope that she will see. Hope then exits. After she leaves, Harris says goodbye to Hope.

Stephanie successfully picks the lock to the lab. She and Chad then enter and find Kayla. Stephanie and Kayla joyfully embrace as Stephanie asks if she’s okay. Kayla responds that she’s fine. Stephanie asks where Steve is.

Steve bangs on the wine cellar door, asking if anyone is out there.

Hope arrives at Victor’s childhood home with her gun raised and asks if anyone is there.

Harris gets a call from Megan in prison and asks what the hell she wants. Megan warns that if he wants any chance with Hope, he will take her now and go far away. Harris responds that it’s too late for both of them.

Roman tells John and Marlena that he knows the ISA deprogrammed Harris and that he played a big part in tracking down Megan, but questions if they are sure he’s not playing both sides. Marlena confirms that Kimberly worked with him and is convinced that he’s no longer under Megan’s influence. Roman questions why he’s looking for Kayla and Steve. John says because Harris knows he has a lot to make up for. Roman suggests he could be trying to impress Hope and remarks that Bo would be turning over in his grave. John brings up knowing what it’s like to be under Megan’s influence, so he thinks Harris deserves a chance. Roman agrees and acknowledges how big a part Harris played in tracking down Megan. Roman declares that he’s either going to Greece or to prison because he’s not going to sit around and do nothing. Andrew shows up at the door and says they are going to want to hear this which Roman questions. Andrew announces that he just came from Statesville as Megan has changed her story now that they got Thomas Banks. John asks how they know she’s telling the truth this time. Andrew reveals that what she said this time is so unbelievable that he’s almost inclined to believe it as Megan said the person who took Kayla was Uncle Bo.

Hope looks around the house, asking if anyone is there. Bo then comes in behind her, leaving Hope in shock.

Stefan assures that it’s over now, her job is done, and they talked about it. Stefan adds that it was Melinda’s way to get back at EJ for letting Kristen escape. Stefan mentions that Melinda made it abundantly clear that she expects something big in return and she just let him know that she’s going to call in that favor when they are back in charge of DiMera. Gabi bets she will want more than just a check for her foundation. Gabi hopes it doesn’t involve Melinda finding her way back to his bedroom. Stefan repeats that it’s done and declares that he belongs to Gabi, so that’s enough about Melinda. Stefan then asks if Gabi spoke to Li, which she confirms that she did. Gabi adds that she gave Li his ring back, so now she is free to be with the man that she loves as she and Stefan kiss.

Li offers Johnny a beer but he says he wants to have a clear head when he talks to Wendy. Li notes that Wendy did not say when she’s coming back and suggests calling her again. Johnny says he just texted her for the thousandth time to no response. Johnny thought this was just a misunderstanding. Li jokes that it must be more than that if she’s ignoring a thousand texts. Li asks what Johnny did to make Wendy so angry and why she’s ghosting him.

Tripp tells Wendy that he’s really happy to see her, but he never expected her to show up here. Wendy calls it a spur of the moment decision and asks how Joey is doing. Tripp says the surgery was a success and he’s being released from the hospital tomorrow. Tripp knows Wendy didn’t come all this way to see Joey, so he asks what brought her to Seattle. Wendy tells Tripp that she came because she was disappointed that they didn’t get to go on their date. Wendy notes that she thinks it’s amazing that he came for Joey. Tripp says he felt bad about having to cancel their date, but they said they would go out as soon as he got back. Tripp says that there has to be something more going on for Wendy to fly out 2000 miles to be here. Tripp asks if something happened in Salem. Wendy says no, other than Johnny and Chanel are getting married again.

EJ tells Tony that he doesn’t know who Nicole was conspiring with on the phone but it doesn’t matter. Tony argues that it does matter and asks what he’s getting so worked up about. EJ complains that he and Nicole are in a relationship so there should be no secrets between them. Tony suggests there’s a difference between secrets and surprises. EJ argues that Nicole said she didn’t want him to know what happened so he doesn’t think she was booking a hotel. Tony offers to make him another drink. EJ declares he’s going to confront Nicole right now and demand the truth. Tony stops him and tells him to take a breath before doing anything that he may regret.

Nicole tells Anna about the tainted biscuits and says she’s surprised Anna didn’t hear about it since she got about a dozen news alerts. Anna says she turned her phone off and asks if they found out who tainted the biscuits. Nicole says the police are still looking in to it but so many people got drugged including her, EJ, Rafe, and Eric. Anna questions Nicole speaking to Eric. Nicole admits that they ran in to each other while under the influence. Anna asks Nicole what it is. Nicole claims it’s nothing but Anna feels it sounds like a lot of something to her. Anna encourages Nicole to trust her and talk to her as she asks what happened with her and Eric. Nicole breaks down and admits that she doesn’t know how it happened but she ended up in bed with Eric.

Eric goes downstairs and joins Sloan at the Pub. Eric apologizes for keeping her waiting. Sloan says that while he took forever, she wished she joined him as she has many fun memories of them in the shower together. Eric admits that before he came down, he was worried but by the way she’s talking, it sounds like they might get back on track soon. Sloan asks if he means after she walked in on him in bed with Nicole. Eric assures that was a one time thing and they were drugged, but he’d really like to pick up where he and Sloan left off. Sloan asks if he means hot sex with no strings. Eric says he wouldn’t use those exact words. Sloan tells Eric that she’s afraid that’s just not going to work for her anymore.

Li laughs when Johnny tells him about Wendy seeing him propose to Chanel. Johnny complains that he was high on some crazy drug and so was Chanel, so he had no idea what he was doing or saying. Li asks why he doesn’t just text Wendy to explain the whole thing. Johnny says he did that but once he typed it all out, he realized how crazy it all was. Li admits he sees his point and asks if he’s sure something isn’t actually happening with he and Chanel. Johnny says of course and he just needs Li to get him in contact with Wendy, so he can tell her that she’s the one he wants to be with and that he and Chanel are just friends. Li asks Johnny if he meant it when he told him that he was serious about his sister. Johnny assures that he did and he thinks Wendy is an amazing person, so he knows what he feels for her is real and he just wants to prove that to her. Li decides maybe he can help him out. Li doesn’t know if he’ll be successful but agrees to give Wendy a call to see if he can smooth things out for him. Johnny calls that very nice of him. Li then gets his phone and sees that he had a text from Wendy, informing him that she is in Seattle.

Tripp questions Chanel and Johnny being engaged. Wendy confirms that she saw herself as Johnny got down on one knee and asked Chanel to marry him again and said that he did it because Wendy agreed to a date with Tripp. Tripp calls that crazy. Wendy says that Chanel accepted his proposal. Tripp declares that they have both lost their minds then.

Nicole tells Anna that she and Eric were out of their minds and high from the biscuits while hallucinating. Anna suggests maybe it was all in her imagination but Nicole assures it wasn’t. Nicole says after they came down, they were in bed and it was obvious they had been intimate. Anna asks if that means they are back together. Nicole assures that she is with EJ and Eric is with Sloan or at least was before she walked in on them. Anna points out that if Eric is available then maybe there’s a chance for them. Nicole insists that there is no chance. Nicole says she and Eric will always have chemistry, whether with another person or not, but it doesn’t change what happened between them. Nicole adds that all the reasons they split up are still there and they agreed that this was just a one time slip up because of those drug infused biscuits. Anna asks her what about EJ and how serious they are.

Eric questions Sloan being upset about what happened earlier. Sloan complains that maybe if Eric took a faster shower, she wouldn’t have had so much time to think about everything but she did think about it and she was really hurt when she saw him in bed with Nicole. Sloan says unlike everybody else in town, Eric trusts her and believes her when she tells him that she’s not harassing Paulina or drugging Chanel’s buns. Sloan tells Eric that he makes her feel ways that she never expected to feel. Sloan knows that she fought so hard to keep things casual between them so no one is more surprised by this than her, but she’s no longer willing to just be his booty call. Sloan tells Eric that she wants more and she wants to be his girlfriend.

Stefan tells Gabi how long he’s waited to kiss her in public. Gabi calls it amazing that they are free. Stefan asks if Li gave her hell. Gabi says he was actually quite civilized about it and says he won’t contest the divorce as he finally realizes that Stefan is the only man she’ll ever love. Stefan is surprised as he thought Li would fight until the bitter end. Gabi thinks that Li realizes he would never win so he let her go. Gabi jokes that she did ask about the DiMera shares but he denied her which was no surprise. Stefan declares that Li can keep his shares, because they got what they wanted. Gabi points out that now that they are together, she wants more. Gabi states that EJ stole the company from them, so they are going to team up and get it back.

Johnny gets upset and says that Wendy obviously went to see Tripp in Seattle. Johnny asks Li to call Wendy, so he does. Wendy answers and guesses he’s wondering why she’s in Seattle. Li informs her that Johnny is with him and really wants to talk to her, so he thinks she should hear what he has to say. Wendy thought Johnny would be busy planning his wedding. Wendy declares that she and Johnny have nothing to talk about. Wendy tells Li to tell Johnny that she wishes he and Chanel all the happiness in the world as she then hangs up.

Gabi tells Stefan that first they will take over DiMera and then they will take over the world. Stefan says before they plan global domination, he wants some alone time with her for pleasure and not business. Gabi says she would love that, but they have no place to live. Stefan informs Gabi that she’s coming home with him.

Nicole tells Anna that the DiMeras are all about power, revenge, and control and it can be exciting to be a part of their high stakes schemes, but lately EJ has been so obsessed with taking Stefan down that she’s felt more like a co-conspirator than a love interest. Anna asks if she told EJ that. Nicole confirms that she did and EJ has dialed up the romance, so things are good between them and she doesn’t want what happened with Eric to mess things up. Nicole asks Anna if she can trust her to keep this between them.

Tony tells EJ that he encourages keeping secrets and explains that he doesn’t want to know how much wine Anna drank or how much money she spent on her hideous crystal lamp shade because that’s all irrelevant and has no bearing on the relationship, but if he found out specifics then there could be a conflict. EJ asks what he wants Anna to tell him then. Tony says he just needs to know that she’s happy because if not, that would cause concern and action. Tony encourages EJ to focus on if Nicole is happy rather than who she was talking to. EJ says he thinks she is happy with him and has no reason to think otherwise. Tony says he’s happy that he’s confident in being with Nicole, so he can throw the rest away. Tony tells EJ that if he wants to be together, just enjoy each other’s company.

Anna assures Nicole that she will keep her confidence and asks what kind of friend she would be if she went running to EJ to spill the beans. Nicole brings up that Anna took EJ’s side in the whole Sydney situation. Anna points out that was years ago and acknowledges the challenges of being with DiMera men, so she agrees that they should stick together. Nicole thanks her and says she is very relieved. Anna thinks Nicole is really good for EJ. Anna knows EJ would never admit it, but he was deeply hurt by Sami and she’s happy to say that EJ seems in much better spirits since he and Nicole got together. Nicole responds that she’s just worried about her infidelity and that maybe she should tell EJ. Anna says no and that it would be a big mistake. Nicole brings up that her cheating and hiding it has caused a lot of pain like what she did to Rafe. Anna calls this an entirely different situation since what happened with Eric meant nothing, so she shouldn’t let it ruin what she has with EJ. Anna says it would be one thing if Nicole and Eric wanted to be together, but she told her that they don’t, so she questions why rock the boat. Nicole says it would be to keep the guilt from eating her alive. Anna argues that she has nothing to be guilty about since it was a one time mistake and it only happened because they were stoned. Anna suggests putting a lid on it and moving on. Nicole agrees to do that then. Anna declares that if she’s learned one thing over the years, it’s that it’s perfectly fine to have a few harmless secrets from your partner. Anna jokes about Tony not wanting to know how much wine she drank or that she spent a fortune on her crystal lamp shade. Anna says it’s just best to forget that and adds that what their men don’t know can’t hurt them. EJ then enters the room.

Paulina goes to the Brady Pub and tells Sloan that her ass is hers. Sloan tells her to back off and reminds her of her restraining order. Paulina declares that Abe just told her that he put an end to her court order and then told her about the breakfast biscuits. Sloan remarks that she heard about Chanel poisoning half the town. Paulina shouts that Chanel had nothing to do with it and calls Sloan the psycho who spiked the dough. Sloan asks if she has any evidence. Paulina assures it will be found, especially since it sent Rafe and others to the hospital, so they won’t rest until they get the proof they need to put Sloan in a cage. Paulina tells Eric that Sloan is going to prison and suggests he step back before she drags him down with her. Paulina calls Sloan the skank who was stupid enough to take her on. Eric stops Paulina and says he knows she’s upset about what happened at the Bakery and he had one of the biscuits so he’s not happy either, but he knows Sloan was not responsible for this. Paulina questions how the hell he’s so certain. Eric responds that Sloan told him and he believes her. Paulina never thought Marlena would raise a fool but says she was wrong about that. Paulina warns Eric not to come crying to her when Sloan stabs him as she then storms out of the Pub.

EJ questions what Nicole and Anna are talking about. Anna claims that she was just asking Nicole if she would prefer red or white wine with dinner this evening. EJ calls it a coincidence as he came to ask the same thing. Nicole calls that thoughtful and kisses EJ. Nicole decides on white wine. EJ tells her that dinner is just about ready, so they exit the room.

Gabi questions Stefan wanting them to move in to the DiMera Mansion when EJ hates her and he didn’t let her and Jake move in there. Stefan comments on forgetting that she was involved with his twin brother. Gabi insists that she was only with Jake because she wished he was Stefan. Stefan states that EJ does not intimidate him and that house was Stefano’s house and there’s nothing he valued more than family, so they are going to walk through those doors with their heads held high. Gabi agrees that they will go home then and they leave the hospital together.

Johnny pleads with Li to call Wendy back but Li says he knows she won’t answer. Johnny asks him to try, so Li calls her and it goes straight to voicemail. Li encourages Johnny to give Wendy some time to cool down. Johnny complains that Wendy flew off to see Tripp, who she already told him that she’s interested in, so he could lose her to another guy. Li tells Johnny that he can sit here and cry but he needs to be quiet about it because he’s not in the mood for his drama. Johnny agrees to go then. Johnny asks Li to just explain to Wendy what really happened if he happens to hear from her. Li says he’s sorry but he knows his sister and there is no way she’s calling him back tonight. Johnny then exits the apartment.

Tripp asks Wendy if she’s sure she doesn’t want to call Johnny back since there could be a reasonable explanation for all this. Wendy argues that Johnny is a player and complains that so many people including his twin sister warned her but she didn’t listen. Wendy doesn’t want to talk about Johnny as she came here to see Tripp. Wendy suggests they have that dinner that he promised her and asks if he knows any good places to eat. Tripp says he can think of one.

Li sadly removes his wedding ring and places it on a table next to Gabi’s as he then exits the apartment.

Johnny walks through the town square and makes a call to book a flight to Seattle.

Tripp cooks dinner for he and Wendy. Wendy is impressed and thanks him for doing all of this. Tripp mentions picking up a few things when he worked at a restaurant. Tripp pours them wine and they toast to old friends and new possibilities.

Sloan reminds Eric that she said she wanted to be his girlfriend and he kind of shut down on her. Eric blames that on Paulina showing up and says he’s sorry about the way she went off on her. Sloan says she can handle Paulina, but asks if what Paulina said brought back his suspicions about her and if he changed his mind about her. Eric responds that he did change his mind about her but because of what she said, not Paulina. Eric says listening to Sloan made him realize that what they have been doing needs to end because he wants more, just like her. Eric declares that he would love for Sloan to be his girlfriend. They kiss and then Sloan jokes that she won’t pretend to like his family’s chowder or anything.

EJ and Nicole go to the living room where Anna joins Tony as well. Tony tells Anna about dinner. EJ tells Nicole that he’s relieved that this day is coming to a close and they can put all of their hallucinogenic hijinks behind them. Nicole agrees and kisses EJ. EJ asks what that was for. Nicole says she just wanted him to know that she’s noticed the effort he’s put in to making her feel like a priority and like she’s important to him. Nicole says that makes her so happy and she appreciates it so much as she hugs EJ. Tony pours wine and proposes a toast to family. Tony says Stefano would be so proud to see them making a toast together under his roof. Stefan walks in with Gabi and says they better pour two more glasses then. EJ questions what they are doing here. Stefan says they live here and announces that he and Gabi have once again decided to make this place their home.

Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

Rafe is in the hospital, thinking back to hallucinating Duke the teddy bear. Rafe remarks on that being totally normal. Abe enters the room and says he heard his police commissioner was in the hospital. Abe asks Rafe what happened. Rafe responds that he honestly has no idea but he has his best detective on the case…

Chanel and Talia go to the bakery and find Jada with her team of detectives. Jada tells them that they can’t be here until they are done collecting evidence as they need to treat the kitchen as a crime scene. Chanel argues that it’s her Bakery. Jada says she understands. Chanel complains that she doesn’t need any more evidence as they all know who drugged her biscuits.

Eric is in his room and thinks back to he and Nicole hooking up while drugged. Eric questions what he and Nicole did. Sloan then shows up at his door and asks if this is a bad time again. Sloan comments that at least he’s alone and asks if he was expecting somebody else.

Nicole enters the living room of the DiMera Mansion and sits down as she thinks back to kissing Eric. EJ enters and asks for her thoughts.

Melinda is in the hospital. Stefan visits her with flowers. Melinda jokes that she’s not dead yet. Stefan asks how she’s feeling. Melinda responds that the only thing hurting is her pride as a few hours ago, she thought he really wanted her but it turns out that she was just delusional.

Li is at home, looking at a photo of he and Gabi on his phone and then to the photo of Gabi and Stefan in bed. Gabi then comes home. Li asks about the hallucinations. Gabi says her test results haven’t come back yet. Li asks if she’s sure she shouldn’t still be at the hospital. Gabi insists that she’s fine. Li wishes she called him to drive her home but Gabi says it’s okay. Li guesses she didn’t need him to stay at the hospital as she seemed to be in good hands with Stefan.

Melinda admits she’s still hazy on the details of what happened to her. Stefan asks what she does remember. Melinda has a vivid memory of trying to bash his head in with a remote and says she doesn’t remember what happened to her as it’s like she totally lost her mind. Stefan thinks he knows why as they went on a trip they had not planned.

EJ tells Nicole that he didn’t mean to interrupt as whatever had her attention must have been engaging. Nicole says she was just daydreaming and mentions being a little off lately but not knowing why. EJ reveals it was the breakfast biscuits and informs her of the rumor that they were dosed with a toxin that has caused erratic behavior all over Salem.

Eric tells Sloan that he’s really glad to see her as she hasn’t been responding to his texts. Sloan responds that she didn’t come for a visit but she thought she may have left her favorite scarf here. Eric doesn’t think so but tells her that she’s free to look. Sloan looks around and doesn’t see it. Eric says he’s sorry. Sloan says she’ll just get out of his way then and out of his life. Eric stops her and brings up what she said before. Sloan comments on finding him and Nicole tangled in the sheets and says there are a lot of things she wanted to say but didn’t. Eric brings up that Sloan suggested they were drugged and questions what would make her think that.

Chanel tells Jada that Sloan has been trying to destroy her life ever since she got to Salem and complains that she decided to come after her business by poisoning the customers. Talia thinks back to being the one who drugged the biscuits. Jada tells Chanel that she needs proof and mentions checking for fingerprints. Chanel and Talia point out that their prints would be there. Jada asks if anyone else was in there. Chanel assures that they do a thorough cleaning after they finish up. Jada notes that if Sloan’s prints do show up, she would have a lot of explaining to do but as a detective, she can’t afford to jump to conclusions. Jada adds that she hasn’t even started questioning anyone, but she thinks she needs to start with Talia. Talia asks why she would question her. Chanel asks if she seriously thinks it was her sister. Jada says of course not but she said the biscuit recipe was Talia’s, so she needs to know what she put in them to compare with the lab results. Talia says she usually keeps her recipes a secret but she can trust her sister so she will tell her. Jada says she appreciates that and turns on her recorder. Talia calls it a very simple recipe with whole wheat flour, baking powder, nonfat yogurt, sugar, kosher salt, honey, butter, and healthy organic buttermilk. Jada notes that it sounds healthy. Chanel argues that they shouldn’t make anyone sick. Jada says not regularly but they have been linked to multiple illnesses. Talia asks how bad it was. Jada responds that the hallucinations were the worst of the symptoms but some of the victims had it so bad that they were sent to the hospital.

Abe asks if Rafe thinks he was poisoned. Rafe thinks drugged would be more appropriate. Abe asks if he was personally targeted. Rafe doesn’t think so as apparently Gabi and Stefan had similar effects to his and it seems they all fell under a powerful hallucinogenic drug. Abe worries that if this is widespread throughout Salem, they are just beginning to learn the consequences.

Li tells Gabi that it was clear she wasn’t in her right mind earlier. Gabi acknowledges that she thought he was Stefan and recalls that she practically begged him to make love to her. Li confirms that she did, so Gabi asks why he didn’t.

Stefan tells Melinda that he only came on to her because he thought she was Gabi. Stefan tells her not to take it personal as she is a very desirable woman but he is hopelessly in love with someone else. Melinda apologizes for not handling it well which they laugh about. Melinda wants to prosecute the person who drugged them and asks if she’s right to assume it was EJ. Stefan reveals that it was not and for once, he thinks that EJ was innocent.

Nicole asks if the hallucinations happened to EJ too which he confirms. EJ admits at first he thought Stefan was responsible but it turns out he was a victim too. Nicole asks what it was like for EJ. EJ says that when he went to the office, it was like he stepped in to the looking glass. Nicole asks how weird it got. EJ jokes that he used the copy machine to produce an image of what some would say is his good side and when he tried to distribute it company wide, he was suddenly convinced that his e-mail password was EJ repeated a thousand times. EJ says it would’ve ended his tenure as CEO. Nicole asks if he has any copies. EJ jokes that she has a standing invitation to see it in person any time she likes. EJ then asks if Nicole did anything crazy while under the influence. Nicole admits that she actually did. EJ asks what she did. Nicole thinks back to being with Eric and then claims to EJ that when she was experiencing delusions, she went to Basic Black and cut off all the collars of the summer line because she was convinced it looked like something a priest would wear. EJ calls that odd but fortunate that she didn’t do something more extreme. Nicole agrees and says at least EJ didn’t call Wei Shin or make any rash decision concerning DiMera like when Stefan drugged him. Nicole notes that it seems EJ and Stefan have declared war again. EJ confirms that they have and assures that this time, he’s going to win decisively.

Stefan admits to Melinda that at first, he thought EJ was behind it as well but it turns out that EJ, Rafe, and a bunch of others also got sick and it turns out they were drugged by the biscuits at Sweet Bits. Stefan adds that the police are working on it now. Melinda insists that she will stay on them so that the person responsible will be punished. Melinda tells Stefan that he can go and adds that he can take his flowers with him because the charade is over. Melinda adds that he and Gabi can have their happily ever after, so he can give the flowers to her.

Li admits to Gabi that he was tempted to take her to bed, but he didn’t want it to happen like that because of some drug tricking the mind. Gabi points out that he hasn’t been above tricking her before. Li can’t deny that but says this was different and not real. Li adds that he loves her too much to take advantage of her like that. Li says he was so sure that if he had six months of marriage, he could make her love him again but the goal was never just to have her in bed, but to have her heart. Li say seeing how Gabi looked at him when she thought he was Stefan made him know in that moment that it was never going to happen.

Abe asks if Rafe is saying someone put the hallucinogen in to Chanel’s baked good. Abe questions who and why. Rafe says Jada is there now trying to figure that all out. Abe is relieved Rafe is doing okay but worries that this seems like more than a prank and could lead to some serious consequences. Rafe tells Abe that he knows and the drug caused him to do something he shouldn’t have but not something serious in the grand scheme of things. Abe asks if he’s going to tell him what he did that he shouldn’t have. Rafe agrees to tell Abe and reveals that he kissed Jada.

Chanel asks Jada about Rafe being in the hospital. Jada confirms he was taken in for observation but is expected to make a full recovery. Talia comments that Jada must be relieved because she knows how much Rafe means to her. Jada questions why that sounds like an accusation and states that Rafe is her boss and that’s it. Chanel asks what Rafe did when under the influence. Jada thinks back to Rafe kissing her. Talia then asks if Jada is okay. Jada tells them to just focus on the case. Chanel asks if Jada is going to arrest Sloan now or what.

Eric asks Sloan what would make her say that he and Nicole were drugged. Sloan points out that they were both babbling on like lunatics with Nicole saying she saw Eric dressed like a priest and Eric saying he saw Nicole in a bikini. Eric admits that he thought he did. Sloan calls it highly unlikely that they would get high together. Eric talks about still not knowing what caused him to hallucinate. Sloan reveals that it turns out that half the town got drugged by the biscuits at Sweet Bits. Sloan remarks that if it’s not bad enough that Chanel killed her parents, she had to go and poison the whole town. Eric asks if Sloan is sure that she’s the one who did this. Sloan asks who else and adds that Chanel will turn it around on her with everyone going along with it.

Talia doubts that Jada will find Sloan’s fingerprints since she likely wore gloves. Jada says they will see and points out that there were no signs of forced entry. Jada then notices the security camera which worries Talia. Chanel says she totally forgot that Paulina had them installed last month. Jada asks if she has access. Chanel confirms that she has an app on her phone which Jada notes would make things a lot easier. Chanel checks but finds there is no footage. Talia apologizes and says it’s all her fault because Chanel told her to turn them on when she locked up, but she must have forgot. Jada guesses the security cameras won’t tell them if anyone was there after Talia left.

Rafe assures Abe that he is fully aware of the new policy that prohibits relationships between supervisors and subordinates in the police department. Abe tells him it’s okay as he was under the influence of a substance that he did not willingly ingest. Rafe points out that rules are rules. Abe states that this will have to be documented. Rafe insists that nothing like this will ever happen again. Abe is glad to hear that and says he will talk to Jada. Rafe adds that he will too when he gets out. Abe trusts that Jada’s assessment of the situation will match Rafe’s. Rafe says he would assume so. Abe imagines they would all like to handle this discretely which Rafe confirms. Rafe adds that someone else also witnessed the event and it was Sloan Peterson.

Eric points out that Sloan didn’t eat the biscuits. Sloan asks if he’s insinuating that she knew they were drugged. Sloan argues that she would never eat anything from Chanel or her family. Eric says he believes her. Sloan brings up that Eric also thought she trashed Paulina’s office. Eric assures that he believes that she didn’t because she said she didn’t. Eric says he’s just glad she is okay. Sloan tells Eric to save all his cares and concerns for Nicole. Sloan complains that Eric promised and swore to her that it was over between he and Nicole, but somehow they found their way back to each other.

Nicole asks if EJ is sure that things between he and Stefan won’t get out of control. EJ appreciates her concern but assures that he can handle his bastard brother. Nicole jokes that he’s technically a bastard too. EJ says Stefan will learn that the hard way. EJ adds that he appreciates having Nicole in his corner but he doesn’t want to spend all their time together plotting Stefan’s downfall. EJ tells Nicole that right now, she has his full attention. EJ kisses Nicole and then asks her what’s wrong.

Stefan tells Melinda that he’s sorry that all this happened to her. Melinda jokes that she’s sorry she tried to murder him. Stefan says maybe he had it coming. Melinda acknowledges that Stefan was always honest about why she was there and what he needed from her, while she was the one who wasn’t honest about her feelings. Stefan feels it was still insensitive to ask her to help him out in this way. Melinda comments that for a DiMera, he’s a pretty nice guy. Stefan jokingly tells her not to let that get around.

Gabi questions if Li’s new strategy is to get her to realize he’s suddenly this nice guy. Li says it’s not a strategy, he’s just facing reality. Li mentions talking to Wendy earlier before Gabi’s episode and he was going to tell her when she walked in that he’s giving up on chasing after her. Li declares that he’s letting Gabi go, so she’s free from their agreement, their marriage, and all of it, so she can be with the man she loves.

Nicole tells EJ that she’s sorry and guesses she’s still feeling loopy from the biscuits. Nicole says she’ll be fine and thinks she just needs a shower to try and clear her head. EJ tells her to do what she needs, so Nicole then heads upstairs.

Eric tells Sloan that he and Nicole are not together. Sloan says they could have fooled her. Eric points out that she said herself that they were not in their right minds. Sloan questions that they just happened to end up together. Eric states that they have history while Sloan says it felt like current events. Eric insists that what happened was a one time thing. Sloan questions why she should believe that. Eric argues that he and Nicole are not together and can barely tolerate each other, so it doesn’t change anything and he hopes it doesn’t change anything between he and Sloan. Sloan says whatever as it’s not like she’s his girlfriend. Eric points out that she came to apologize. Sloan says she was hurt because he made her feel like he didn’t trust her but admits she overreacted. Eric accepts her apology and hopes she will accept his. Eric hopes they can then go downstairs and have dinner. Sloan questions him wanting to have dinner after all of this and asks then what. Eric says they will see where it takes them.

Rafe explains to Abe that they called Sloan to the police station to examine her phone to see if she was sending threatening texts to Paulina and that’s when Sloan walked in on Rafe kissing Jada. Rafe would be surprised if Sloan didn’t use it against him. Abe calls it ironic because Sloan is probably responsible for the kiss even happening. Rafe asks if Abe thinks Sloan drugged the biscuits. Abe responds that they both know someone is targeting Chanel’s bakery and Sloan is the most likely suspect.

Chanel tells Jada that she doesn’t need security footage to know that Sloan is the rat in their kitchen. Talia points out that they still don’t have any proof. Jada declares that until they find something to connect Sloan to the biscuits, there’s nothing she can do. Chanel complains that Sloan is ruining her life. Jada tells them to keep their distance from Sloan and let her do her job. Jada promises to find who did this and bring them to justice.

Stefan asks Melinda if she’s sure she’s going to be okay. Melinda assures that she’ll survive and tells Stefan to go before people get the wrong idea about them. Stefan doesn’t care what other people think and says he has seen a different side of Melinda through all of this. Stefan admits she’s pretty cool, fun, and attractive. Stefan adds that some guy will be very lucky to have her in his life for real. Melinda thanks him and tells Stefan to go be with the woman he loves because there’s no reason for them to be apart anymore. Stefan agrees now that Li knows everything.

Gabi questions Li letting her go and admits she’s surprised since he spent a year doing everything he could to hang on to her. Gabi thought he would try to punish her when he learned the truth about her and Stefan. Li admits he was angry, but mostly hurt, and it’s obvious to him that she doesn’t regret it which Gabi confirms. Li responds that he has lots of regrets.
