Update written by Joseph

Justin sits at home in the living room of the Kiriakis Mansion, reading a book. Bonnie walks in wearing a robe. Justin thought they were going out to dinner but Bonnie informs him that Victor and Maggie went to Chicago on an overnight trip, so they have the whole place to themselves and she’s always wanted to make love in the light of a roaring fire. Bonnie then removes her robe right as Justin’s son, Sonny walks in to the room.

Marlena finishes a call at the hospital and comments on it being her third patient this week to cancel. Her grandson Will then arrives, surprising her with his return to Salem.

John and Brady eat together at the Brady Pub. John tells him about Marlena running in to Steve and Kayla at the hospital. Brady asks how they are doing. John says they are in pretty good shape considering what Kristen put them through. Brady says they never would have been on that island if he hadn’t hired Steve to find Kristen and he knew it would be dangerous. John argues that Steve knew what he was getting in to, he’s just sorry Brady didn’t get the answers he was looking for. Brady mentions that Steve said Kristen swore she had nothing to do with framing him for Philip’s death. Brady adds that now that Kristen has escaped again, he’s at square one and doesn’t even know if Philip is alive or dead. John points out that until then, he can’t move on with Chloe.

Chloe and Nancy sit together in the town square. Chloe tells Nancy that she has to tell her something about last night. Chloe reveals she wasn’t working late. Nancy says she knew that and guesses that she and Brady went out for Valentine’s Day. Chloe confirms that she did go out with Brady, but it wasn’t a date as they had dinner with Craig and his new boyfriend.

Craig and Leo have room service in their hotel room. Leo says he likes having him all to himself but Craig says he’s not sure about their relationship.

Brady tells John that he’s right since Chloe and Philip were together when he disappeared. Brady admits he would love to start something up with Chloe but he doesn’t feel right pursuing a relationship with her while they don’t know what happened to Philip. John asks what if they never find out. Brady notes that Nancy asked the same question and he guesses that he and Chloe would stay in limbo. John questions that being forever. Brady talks about Nancy being determined to play cupid but she’s backed off recently since finding out that her husband has been cheating on her with a man. John questions Brady meeting Craig’s boyfriend. Brady reveals that John has met him too.

Nancy asks Chloe about the man Craig is seeing being in Salem. Chloe confirms that he flew in last night and he did it before Craig could even stop him. Chloe mentions his name is Leo Stark. Chloe admits she was reluctant to do it, so she took Brady for emotional support. Nancy questions them having a double date. Chloe says it wasn’t like that and apologizes for not being upfront with her but she didn’t want her to feel like she wasn’t being loyal to her. Nancy declares that Chloe totally betrayed her.

Leo questions Craig having doubts about them but guesses he shouldn’t be surprised after Chloe and Brady attacked him at dinner. Leo admits it was awkward, horrible, and a complete disaster but says it wasn’t his fault because Chloe and Brady never even gave him a chance as they were determined to belittle him in front of the man he loves. Craig brings up Brady saying that Leo tried to screw him over. Leo argues that Brady is a total drama queen, who made a big deal out of nothing and poisoned Chloe against him. Leo asks if Brady has turned Craig against him too.

Justin and Bonnie are surprised to see Sonny back home and not in Arizona. Sonny guesses he should’ve called first as he turns away. Justin checks on Bonnie, who says she’s just totally mortified. Justin tells Sonny that he can turn around now as Bonnie puts her robe back on.

Will informs Marlena that they dropped Arianna off with Gabi and Sonny is seeing Justin. Marlena is so glad he’s there since he doesn’t get a chance to visit very often. Will says he’s sorry it’s been so long, especially considering everything Marlena has been through. Marlena says it’s just so good to see his face and he’s a perfect pick me up. Will asks if something is wrong. Marlena explains that her professional reputation has taken a hit and her career might be over.

John is shocked to learn that Craig is dating Leo Stark. Brady talks about how it was supposed to be a nice dinner but instead it was he and Chloe trying to convince Craig to dump Leo, but Craig wasn’t having it. Brady gets that Craig is in love and it’s an important relationship since he’s willing to throw away his marriage to Nancy. Brady reveals that he and Chloe have devised a plan to rescue Craig from Leo’s clutches but John warns that he thinks that’s a really bad idea.

Nancy cries that Chloe always took her father’s side against her which Chloe calls not true and says she’s not taking sides. Nancy complains that she spent last night alone while Chloe and Brady were out celebrating Valentine’s Day with her father and his new boyfriend. Chloe apologizes for hurting her feelings. Nancy doesn’t think she should have gone. Chloe cries that she doesn’t want to hurt Craig’s feelings either as she loves both of them and she doesn’t like being stuck in the middle of this. Nancy cries that she’s so sorry and agrees they have put her in a terrible position. Nancy feels so displaced, thinking of Chloe and Brady being out with Craig and his new boyfriend, bonding and having a great time. Chloe assures that’s not exactly how it went as the whole evening was a complete disaster.

Craig admits he wasn’t thrilled to hear about all the schemes Leo has pulled but says he has no right to judge since he’s done his share of underhanded things. Craig says the problem is that his daughter can’t stand him. Leo argues that Chloe doesn’t even know him so that’s unfair. Craig has reservations about moving forward in this relationship if that means there’s a chance of losing Chloe over it. Leo argues that he can’t let Chloe dictate his love life. Craig says that his daughters are very important to him. Leo asks if he’s breaking up with him then.

Justin and Sonny hug, talking about how much they missed each other. Justin hopes that they are in town for awhile. Sonny says it’s all kind of up in the air right now. Sonny guesses he should’ve given some notice but asks if he minds if they stay here for a little while. Justin assures that this is his home. Bonnie jokingly promises to lock the door next time her and Justin are alone together. Bonnie then goes to change clothes. Justin apologizes to Sonny for that. Sonny understands they are still in their honeymoon phase. Sonny apologizes if he’s a little awkward about Bonnie because she looks so much like his mom but is so different. Sonny says he’s tried to let it go to support their marriage but he can’t forget about all things Bonnie did to Adrienne. Sonny tells Justin that he’s sorry. Justin says there’s no need to apologize as he understands this is difficult for him. Justin knows Sonny and Adrienne were very close and it was a terrible loss for all of them. Justin thought maybe Sonny had moved beyond his animosity towards Bonnie but guesses that’s not the case.

Marlena tells Will about all those years ago when she was possessed and how she lost all her patients then while now it’s happening all over again, so she shouldn’t be too surprised. Will points out that she’s not possessed anymore and she’s better. Marlena says it’s not that simple since the Devil was giving out very bad advice to her patients. Marlena notes that she apparently encouraged one of her patients to cheat on her husband in the form of self care. Will argues that they didn’t have to take that advice. Marlena responds that she did take her advice and now her life is in shambles and she’s switching to another doctor like half of her patients. Marlena expects that the board will want her to resign.

Brady asks John how it’s a bad idea to keep Craig from being used. John asks how he knows Leo is using him. Brady calls Leo bad news and says he’s after Craig for his money because he’s a scam artist. John suggests people can change. Brady questions why John is defending Leo. John reveals he doesn’t think Leo is as bad as Brady is making him out to be.

Chloe tells Nancy that she told Craig that he was making a huge mistake and she knows she upset him and that he was freaked out, but she didn’t care, and then she and Brady stormed out of the bar. Chloe tells Nancy that she thinks Leo is a lying snake, using Craig for his money. Nancy declares that if Craig is being taken advantage of, she can’t do nothing. Chloe feels she shouldn’t get involved. Nancy points out that he’s still her husband. Chloe reminds her that she asked him for a divorce. Nancy says that was before she knew that he was being duped by a gold digger. Nancy then rushes off to the Salem Inn.

Craig tells Leo that he’s feeling so conflicted and it’s been complicated from the beginning. Leo argues that Craig is just afraid of being with a man and is looking for an excuse. Craig assures that’s not it. Leo argues that they hit one tiny bump in the road but they love and understand each other. Leo knows this is overwhelming and says he was very young when he came out, but for Craig, he’s turning his entire life upside down. Leo calls that a good thing because Craig lived his life until now for his wife and daughters while denying his true feelings. Leo encourages that now it’s time for Craig to be his true self and he cannot let Nancy, his daughters, or anybody stop him from doing that. Craig asks what if his daughters cut him out of their lives. Leo assures that won’t happen and promises they will come around when they see how happy he is. Craig tells Leo how much he loves him. Leo says he loves him too as they hug. They then remove each others shirts until Nancy walks in and orders Leo to get his paws off of her husband. Chloe follows her in and apologizes to Craig, saying it was all her fault. Nancy says that Chloe was just telling her all about Leo and how he’s taking advantage of him. Craig says this isn’t the time or place. Nancy accuses Leo of being after Craig’s money. Leo talks about hearing what a wonderful person and mother Nancy is. Leo understands this must be difficult for her, but he assures that his love for Craig is real with no hidden agenda. Nancy calls Leo the man who stole her husband. Leo wants them to be friends which Nancy laughs off. Leo says Nancy and Craig will still be in each others’ lives because of their children so he wants them to get along. Leo proposes a toast to new beginnings.

Brady reminds John of the horrible things that Leo did to their family. John acknowledges that Leo had problems but when he and Leo thought they were father and son, he saw a different side of him. John calls Leo just a kid who was desperate for love and acceptance. Brady doesn’t think that excuses his behavior. John suggests maybe Leo has found that love and acceptance with Craig and it’s possible it made him a better person. Brady sticks with his doubts and says John can defend Leo, but he knows damn well that Leo is going to break Craig’s heart in two unless he does something to break them up.

Will asks Marlena if the board has asked her to resign. Marlena says no but they have been dropping hints. Marlena adds that it won’t help that “Possessed: The Marlena Evans Story” is coming out soon. Will is surprised to learn that Johnny is still making the movie. Marlena is surprised that Johnny didn’t tell Will because he’s still giving Will story credit. Will questions how Johnny could go forward with it. Marlena explains that his producer is making him fulfill his contract and he couldn’t get out of it. Will feels there has to be something they can do since it’s Marlena’s life story. Marlena says unfortunately, she had already signed the release so she doesn’t have any options. Marlena declares that when the movie does come out, she expects to be fired if that hasn’t happened already.

Justin asks Sonny if he didn’t come to their first wedding because he didn’t approve of Bonnie. Sonny assures he did have a work emergency and couldn’t take time off. Sonny adds that he would have given his blessing but some things that happened at the ceremony gave him pause. Justin argues that he wasn’t there. Sonny says he heard all about Bonnie shooting a woman, leaving the bloody corpse in their bed and then came down to marry him like nothing happened and then Xander walks in to collect a million dollars that she stole from him and she left in handcuffs. Sonny asks if he can blame him for having been a little concerned. Justin calls it a long story as none of it was Bonnie’s fault. Sonny points out that wasn’t even the end of it. Justin knows he nearly lost his law license but that wasn’t her fault either. Sonny argues that Justin tried to extort a judge. Justin admits he did it for Bonnie and he would do it again. Sonny remarks that it’s not very comforting. Justin gets what happened at their wedding gave him pause, but he needs to know if Sonny is not going to move on from that. Justin asks Sonny if he still has a problem with his wife. Sonny admits that Bonnie is not the wife he would’ve chosen for Justin, but if she makes him happy then he will give her a chance and support this marriage 1000%. Justin hugs Sonny and says it means so much to him. Bonnie, having overheard from outside the room, rushes in with tears in her eyes to hug Sonny and tell him that it means so much to her too. Bonnie thanks Sonny for not hating her. Sonny assures that he doesn’t hate her and he just needed to hear directly from Justin that he is happy, so they are good. Bonnie declares that she’s so relieved as now they can be a family. Bonnie tells Sonny that he can call her mom if he wants. Sonny says not to get carried away.

John knows Brady is trying to protect Craig but warns that he and Chloe just need to stay out of this. Brady appreciates John’s input but says it’s kind of too late as the plan is already under way. John questions what this plan is. Marlena arrives with Will, surprising John and Brady. They get up and hug Will. John asks Marlena about not telling him that Will was coming. Marlena calls it a complete surprise to her as well. John asks what brings Will here. Brady then reveals that it was him who asked Will and Sonny to come to Salem.

Leo acknowledges this is an awkward situation because he’s dating Nancy’s husband, but says they don’t have to be at each others’ throats. Leo remarks that he is what’s best for Craig and how happy he is. Nancy says it’s one thing for Craig to ask her to accept that he’s gay, but not to deal with this piece of trash Leo. Leo argues that he’s trying to extend an olive branch. Nancy tells him to stick it where the sun don’t shine. Nancy then takes the glass of champagne and tosses it on Leo. Nancy then walks out of the room. Craig asks if Chloe is going to go after her. Chloe feels Nancy wants to be alone right now and since she’s here, she wanted to apologize to Leo which surprises him. Chloe says she felt like she was out of line the other night and hoped they could start over.

Justin and Bonnie sit together. Bonnie is so happy things went well with Sonny. Justin calls him a good man. Justin points out that Sonny and Will are going to be out for awhile, so they can pick up where they left off. Bonnie feels the mood is broken now and she’s hungry so she offers to go get something to eat. Justin asks if she’s sure she wants the roaring fire to go to waste. Bonnie suggests they have a picnic right in front of it. Bonnie tells Justin to resume reading and she’ll be home before he knows it.

Craig questions Chloe suddenly being willing to give Leo another chance. Chloe admits she would be skeptical of anyone Craig is dating and she was just thinking about what she said, so she felt like she was being unreasonable. Chloe says they all have a past and whatever Leo’s is. Chloe adds that all that matters is that Leo clearly makes Craig happy, so she hoped they could start again. Leo agrees so Chloe offers to take Leo out for drinks tonight just the two of them. Leo agrees and says he’ll go get dressed. Chloe says she will go get them a table at the bar to have their do over from the other night. Craig thanks Chloe for doing this and tells her how much it means to him as he hugs Chloe.

John asks Will if he and Sonny didn’t mind just dropping everything to fly here, just to talk to Craig. Sonny arrives and calls it the perfect chance to see family and friends. Brady explains that he was just filling them in on their plan. Sonny is glad Brady called because he wouldn’t want anyone else to go through the hell that Leo put he and Sonny through. Will asks when they talk to Craig. Brady says he’s waiting to hear from Chloe as it’s all about making sure Leo isn’t around. Brady gets a text from Chloe that step one is green lit. Brady declares that Operation: Free Craig is a go.

John and Marlena go to the Kiriakis Mansion to see Justin. John says they are sorry to drop by so late. Marlena hopes they aren’t intruding on Justin’s evening. Justin says not at all as Bonnie just left to pick up dinner. Justin asks what’s going on. John reveals that they need a lawyer. Justin asks why they didn’t ask Belle. Marlena explains that Belle is awfully busy with EJ’s appeal. Justin asks what he can do for them. Marlena is afraid the hospital is going to ask her to resign. Justin questions why they would do that. Marlena informs him that they didn’t like some of the things she did when she was not herself. Justin calls that unfair since those things were not her fault. John states that they don’t see it that way and they worry that Marlena might be in for a real fight. Marlena hopes that Justin will represent her if that happens. Justin agrees and says he’s always happy to help a friend.

Nancy sits at the bar of the Brady Pub and thinks back to her relationship with Craig. Nancy takes a drink and tries to tell herself not to cry. Bonnie enters and recognizes Nancy as Chloe’s mom. Bonnie introduces herself as Mimi Lockhart’s mom. Bonnie tells Nancy that it’s nice to see her and asks if she’s okay. Nancy claims she’s fine and everything is great as she blames allergies. Bonnie says it was good to see her and to have a good evening. Bonnie goes to leave but Nancy breaks down crying, so Bonnie goes back and hugs her.

Will and Sonny show up at Craig’s door. Craig asks if he can help them. Will says actually they are here to help him. Craig doesn’t understand and asks who they are. Sonny introduces he and Will then says they are here to talk about his boyfriend, Leo Stark.

Brady finds Chloe at the bar and asks where Leo is. Chloe says he is on his way and asks about Will and Sonny. Brady says they should be at Craig’s room now. Chloe hopes that they can talk some sense in to Craig. Brady says they just have to buy them some time. Chloe remarks that she’ll need several drinks to make nice with Leo. Brady encourages that they will get through this whole thing together. Brady adds that it will be worth it just to get Leo off of Craig’s back. Chloe hopes it works. Brady asks if she thinks Leo suspects anything. Leo then appears and questions what is going on here.

Allie lays on the couch at home, looking at Tripp’s number on her phone until there’s a knock at the door. Allie answers the door to see Chanel. Allie apologizes for not showing up at the bakery. Chanel says she didn’t come to give her grief, but to find out if she and Tripp found a way to work things out. Allie says that would be a no.

Shawn goes to the hospital and finds Tripp. Shawn hopes that Tripp heard from his mother. Tripp says they spoke a few days ago and asks what’s going on. Shawn reveals that Ava escaped police custody this morning.

Chad informs Belle that Gabi Hernandez is the new CEO of DiMera. Belle asks how that’s even possible Chad explains that he and Tony were out of town. Belle asks how Abigail is. Chad says she’s fine and they are very lucky, but Gabi took advantage of the situation and called a shareholders meeting then managed to vote him out and her in. Belle asks what Jake got. Chad says it was a knife in his back.

Jake explains to Ben that they called a shareholders meeting to install him as CEO of DiMera but Gabi and Johnny pulled a fast one and now Johnny is on the board, Gabi is control of the company, and he’s on his ass. Ben says he’s so sorry. Jake asks why Ben thinks Johnny would try to pull something like this off. Ben doesn’t get why Gabi would do it. Jake says he’s trying to figure that out, but he knows Johnny got in Gabi’s head that he was going to screw her over and talked her in to screwing him over first.

Devil Johnny lays in bed until Susan shows up. Johnny asks what she’s doing here. Susan responds that she’s here to see if he really is her grandson. Johnny asks who else he would be. Johnny laughs it off and says their family tree can be confusing but he’s definitely her grandson. Susan talks about tracing her ancestors back 100 years so Johnny asks her to tell him more. Susan continues but then stops and says she knows he’s trying to distract her but she won’t be distracted from her mission. Susan tells Johnny that she knows Johnny DiMera is EJ’s son, but she’s here to ask and find out if he’s really Johnny DiMera.

Ben questions Jake thinking that Johnny stole Maggie’s phone to text him and then forged his signature to sign the petition to steal Gabi’s shares. Jake says he sure as hell didn’t do it but the question is how Johnny got Gabi to believe that she overheard him telling Maggie that he would turf her to get what he wanted, when he was never with Maggie. Jake adds that Gabi claims this alleged meeting at the mansion happened at the exact time that he was with Ben. Ben offers to tell Gabi that he was with him but Jake says she won’t believe him. Ben wonders if Jake will believe him when he tells him how he thinks Johnny did this. Jake says he’s listening.

Belle says she would’ve thought Gabi and Jake would be in cahoots on a power play like this. Chad says that apparently Jake made the same assumption but he wouldn’t be the first guy who thought he could trust Gabi. Belle questions Johnny being in on this with Gabi. Chad confirms Gabi went behind Jake’s back to enlist Johnny’s help and hung her boyfriend out to dry.

Tripp questions Ava escaping and asks if it has anything to do with Rafe’s trial. Shawn says this isn’t about Rafe as Ava was being held for questioning in the disappearance of Abigail and then someone posing as Ava’s lawyer walked her out of the station. Shawn adds that he’s still trying to get to the bottom of what happened. Tripp doesn’t understand as Ava didn’t even know Abigail and questions why she would have anything to do with her disappearance. Shawn says that’s his question and he’s hoping Ava has the answer. Shawn asks Tripp to give him a call if he hears from Ava which he agrees to do. Shawn then exits the hospital.

Chanel asks Allie if the engagement is really off. Allie confirms that it is. Allie says it was bad enough at the park when Tripp told her that he’d never trust her again and asked for the ring back, but then she ran in to him at the Brady Pub with Kate and Roman. Chanel asks what happened. Allie says she told Tripp how she felt and that she loved him but Tripp pretty much just shut her down and walked away. Chanel tells her that she’s so sorry and hugs her.

Tripp calls Ava and leaves a message that he’s worried about her and to call him back when she gets this. Ciara approaches and greets him, asking if everything is okay. Tripp claims everything is fine and asks about Ciara and the baby. Ciara says she’s great and just came for her prenatal vitamins. Ciara says she won’t keep him from his work and says to give Allie all her love. Tripp tells her that she’ll have to do that herself because they broke up.

Allie apologizes to Chanel for being such a mess. Chanel says she’s seen her worse. Allie cries that she really screwed up. Chanel blames herself and says it’s all her fault. Allie argues that she was the one in a relationship and she chose to sleep with Chanel then lie about it, so no one else is to blame but her. Allie talks about when Tripp would stay over almost every night and he’d wake up early to turn off the alarm so it didn’t wake up her and Henry, then he’d make her favorite breakfast. Allie says today her alarm went off and it reminded her that she blew it with the most amazing guy she’s ever known.

Belle questions where this Gabi and Johnny alliance came from as she didn’t know they even knew each other. Chad talks about Gabi’s ability to manipulate and Johnny not being so naive since when EJ went to prison, Johnny swore they were on the same side after what EJ did to Abigail. Belle brings up EJ denying his accusation. Chad argues that he saw EJ kiss his wife and Abigail experienced it, so either they are lying or EJ is lying as there is no other explanation.

Johnny questions Susan informing him that Ben and Ciara told her that he’s possessed by the Devil. Johnny plays it off as being about his movie which is called Possessed but they both know the Devil was sent back and he was in the room when it happened. Susan talks about how the Devil could find his way out of Marlena and directly in to Johnny. Johnny argues that a lot of other people were in that room, listing Sami, Belle, Allie, Eric, John, and Brady. Johnny gets that the Devil was after Ben and Ciara’s baby so it makes sense that they are nervous, but asks why they would think it was him when he barely knows Ciara and he just met Ben. Susan brings up Johnny bringing the cross from Julie to Ben and Ciara and the cross was turning upside down again and again outside their door.

Ben reminds Jake about the cross they had hanging outside which kept turning upside down and how Johnny brought it over to them. Ben adds that Julie had an emergency that Johnny happened to be around for and volunteered to deliver the cross. Jake questions Ben thinking Johnny is possessed by the Devil. Ben knows it sounds crazy and he’s not trying to put that type of stuff out there so he knows it could land him back in Bayview. Jake feels he has a right to be paranoid. Jake says that would explain how Johnny got Gabi to believe she overheard a meeting that never happened. Jake then realizes that Johnny told him exactly how he did it.

Belle asks Chad if he was motivated to not tell the whole truth when testifying against EJ. Chad swears that it happened exactly as he said it did as he found the money trail that linked EJ to Sami’s kidnapper on his computer at DiMera, then he went to the police and reported it. Belle calls that a direct and careful answer so she wonders if there is something he’s not telling her.

Tripp informs Ciara that right after Allie accepted his proposal, he found out that she cheated on him with Chanel. Ciara doesn’t get it since just last week she and Allie were talking about how happy they were and how in love Allie was with Tripp. Ciara asks if Tripp is sure about this. Tripp confirms that Allie admitted it as she had no choice after Johnny spilled her dirty little secret. Ciara questions Johnny being the one who told him.

Chanel recalls that Allie wanted to leave that night but she begged her to stay. Allie says there was no chance she was going to leave her alone. Chanel talks about Allie always being there for her and how much that means to her. Chanel wants to be there for Allie now and holds her hand. Chanel says that night, Allie held her and made the pain go away, so she wants to do the same for her…

Tripp explains to Ciara that he just put the ring on Allie’s finger when Johnny and Chanel showed up, and instead of congratulating them, Johnny asked Allie if she told him that she slept with Chanel. Ciara calls that horrible and she can’t believe Allie’s own brother would do that to her. Tripp remarks that Johnny seems to get off on making people miserable. Tripp adds that he is grateful that Johnny told him since Allie sure wasn’t going to. Tripp apologizes since Ciara and Allie are close, so maybe he should let her tell her. Ciara says she cares about Tripp too and she’s so sorry. Tripp guesses he’s just a guy that women use until something better comes along. Ciara says that’s not true but Tripp complains that he lost Ciara to Ben and now he’s lost Allie to Chanel. Tripp apologizes, admitting that was a rotten thing to say. Tripp declares that he’s just so tired of coming in second place with women he cares about.

Allie and Chanel lean in to kiss but they stop when Nicole comes home. Chanel decides to get going and tells Allie to call her as she then exits. Nicole asks if Allie is okay. Allie says yeah and she’d rather talk about Nicole, so she asks what happened in court today. Nicole informs her that the defense rested and closing arguments wrapped up, so now Rafe’s fate is in the hands of a jury.

Belle asks if Chad held something back from his testimony. Chad appreciates how dedicated she is to EJ’s case but points out that she’s still DiMera’s general counsel, so she should focus on what they pay her for. Chad argues that if she’s not going to help him oust Gabi and reclaim his CEO position, then he will find somebody who will.

Ben questions Jake saying that Johnny told him how he did it. Jake flashes back to Johnny mocking Jake’s accusations. Jake says now that he thinks about it, Johnny almost bragged about morphing in to him. Ben asks what happened after that. Jake says things got tense and they must have mixed it up because it ended up flat on his ass but things are fuzzy. Jake admits he was wondering how some kid got the best of him. Ben suggests maybe he wasn’t fighting a kid and he got sucker punched by the Devil. Jake says that makes no sense, yet it explains everything. Ben says the question is, how do they prove that?

Susan states that an inverted cross is the mark of the Devil. Johnny insists that he’s still her same grandson so he thinks if he was possessed by The Devil, she would know it.

Ben explains to Jake that he and Ciara called Susan Banks and she’s now talking to Johnny at the DiMera Mansion. Jake questions trusting Susan. Ben reminds Jake that Susan is the reason he reunited with Ciara when everyone else thought she was dead and that Susan was one of the first people to realize the Devil was in Marlena, so if Johnny is possessed, Susan will know.

Susan tells Johnny that she’s not sure what to think. Devil Johnny flashes back to telling Susan the truth. He asks Susan if she’s okay as she looks pale. Susan doesn’t know if he’s the Devil or not because she would feel the evil but that’s not how she feels. Devil Johnny flashes back to using his power to make Susan forget that he’s the Devil and making her leave town. Johnny claims that Susan would definitely know if he was the Devil which Susan agrees with. Susan decides there is no Devil here. Johnny tells her that she can go tell Ben and Ciara that Satan is gone and there’s nothing to worry about.

Allie tells Nicole that Rafe’s trial is moving really fast. Nicole argues that all they had were the three felons who lied about Rafe setting them up and the defense had some compelling witnesses. Allie asks if Rafe’s lawyer mentioned anything about Ava setting him up. Nicole explains that she couldn’t because she didn’t have proof. Allie offers to go through Ava’s stuff but Nicole says she would never ask her to go after her boyfriend’s mother like that. Allie then reveals to Nicole that Tripp is not her boyfriend anymore.

Ciara tells Tripp that he’s a wonderful man and she loves Allie, but he does not deserve to be lied to like that. Tripp thanks her. Ciara says she’s here if he needs anything. Tripp tells her that talking to her helped. Ciara decides she should get going and jokes about Ben being overprotective. Ciara then exits the hospital. Chanel then arrives and sees Tripp.

Susan asks Johnny if he’s still divorcing Chanel. Johnny says it’s for the best and that they have both moved on. Johnny claims he’s holding out for true love and that he’s sure Roger is missing her so she should get home. Susan brings up that Johnny is getting divorced and EJ is in prison, so she worries about people she loves. Susan hugs Johnny and says she loves him so much. Susan then gets the feeling about the Devil and declares that he’s still in Salem and under this roof.

Allie tells Nicole that it’s her fault and talks about how she was getting her life together but here she is just trashing it as Nicole hugs her.

Tripp tells Chanel that he has nothing to say to her. Chanel responds that she has something to say to him. Chanel insists that Allie loves him and what they did was one time and it’s over. Chanel asks Tripp to get that through his head because walking away from Allie would be the biggest mistake of his life. Chanel insists that Allie doesn’t want her, she wants him. Chanel asks Tripp to find it in his heart to forgive her.

Ben really thought Susan would be back by now and hopes she’s okay. Jake asks if he really thinks Johnny would hurt Susan. Ben hopes not. Jake decides to get going and tells him to let him know what happens if Susan ever comes back. Ciara returns home as Jake is leaving. Ciara jokes about still not having the baby swing together. Ben explains that he was telling Jake about their Johnny theory. Ciara asks if Jake thinks they are crazy. Jake responds that he just had a run in with him himself. Jake explains that Johnny helped Gabi double cross him and then Gabi dumped him. Ciara says she’s sorry. Jake says he’ll be alright and jokes that he’s leaving Ben to assemble the swing. Jake then exits. Ciara comments that it seems that the Devil has a thing for breaking up couples, first with Paulina and Abe, then Johnny broke up with Chanel, and now Gabi and Jake while also blowing up Tripp and Allie’s engagement.

Johnny thought they settled this Devil nonsense. Belle comes out from the living room and tells Susan that she’s doing everything in her power to overturn EJ’s conviction. Susan appreciates that since EJ doesn’t deserve to do penance for the sins of others. Johnny says he agrees. Belle says she’s about to get going. Johnny reminds Belle to get her coat. Johnny’s phone rings. Susan whispers to him, asking what about the Devil. Johnny says they will talk about it later as he steps away. Belle tells Susan that she will let her know if she hears any news on EJ. As Belle walks out of the mansion, Susan sees that Belle’s coat now has “666” on the back of it. Susan then begins to shout that Belle is the Devil.

Nicole tells Allie that she didn’t trash her life, she just made a mistake. Nicole says she’s made a lot of her own mistakes, especially with love. Nicole informs Allie that she learned that if you love someone and they love you back, there’s always a chance to make it right. Allie argues that she didn’t see how angry and hurt Tripp was. Allie cries that she doesn’t think Tripp will ever give her another chance.

Tripp argues that Allie made her choice the night she slept with Chanel. Chanel blames herself for coming on to Allie. Tripp says that she didn’t make Allie lie about it. Tripp tells Chanel to stop protecting her. Tripp complains that he’s an idiot and he could see how much they meant to each other from the first time she saw them. Tripp talks about coming to Chanel to support her when Johnny dumped her, but she lied to his face, so he doesn’t want to hear another word from her and he never wants to see Allie again. Tripp then walks away.

Ben can’t believe Johnny could be so cruel to his own sister. Ciara guesses it’s all the more proof that they are not dealing with Johnny. Susan races back to them in a panic with the bible and begins to pray. Ben asks if it’s true and what the hell happened. Ciara asks if the Devil is back in Salem. Ben asks if Johnny is possessed. Susan declares that the Devil is not in Johnny, but is now in Belle Brady.

Belle goes to the police station and greets Shawn. Shawn then asks what’s on the back of her coat.

Devil Johnny talks to the portrait of Stefano and says he fooled Susan again, so now Belle is going to be busy trying to convince everybody that she’s not the Devil and she won’t have time to spring EJ from prison while he turns up the heat on his plans. Chad then walks in and questions his plans for what.

Shawn tells Belle that it looks like some ash on the back of her coat and it came right off. Shawn asks if she’s been through a fire. Belle says she just came from the DiMera Mansion, where it looked like Chad just got royally burned.

Chad questions Johnny’s plan and if he’s telling Stefano about it. Johnny thinks he’d be proud of at least one of them. Chad argues that Gabi is using him. Johnny responds that there are worse things than being used by a beautiful woman. Chad asks if he thinks this is a game. Chad warns that he’s playing with the big boys now and this isn’t over as he will take back what’s his and then he can go to Hell. Chad walks out of the room. Devil Johnny remarks that the fun is just beginning.

Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

Clyde is in his jail cell, reading “The Devil Wears Prada”. Orpheus appears outside his cell and makes jokes about him reading. Clyde praises the book. Orpheus then remarks that he’ll take a look when he’s done, unless Clyde’s new cellmate has first dibs.

Belle visits EJ at the prison and asks how he’s holding up. EJ says as well as could be expected considering his surroundings. EJ hopes she has an update on his case to uplift his spirits. EJ asks if she’s made progress with his appeal. Belle confirms that she has.

Ben tries putting together a baby swing at home. Ciara joins him and says she can’t believe he let her sleep in so late. Ben points out that she was tossing and turning all night and asks if she had a bad dream. Ciara says she just couldn’t stop thinking about their conversation about Johnny possibly being possessed by the Devil.

After Jake grabbed Johnny, Johnny turns in to the Devil and grabs Jake. Jake questions what’s going on as the Devil tells him that he’s not Johnny DiMera. Jake doesn’t understand. The Devil asks Jake if he’s ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight.

Chad tells Gabi to stop playing around and get her feet off his desk. Gabi responds that it’s her desk and office so she’ll put her feet where ever she wants. Chad tells her to get out and not try this again with his security. Gabi reveals that she is the new CEO of DiMera which Chad laughs at. Gabi tells him to call Mr. Shin since he will back up every word she said. Chad realizes that she’s serious. Gabi confirms that she’s now in charge of this company. Chad questions how in the hell she pulled that off.

Jake continues to question what this is. The Devil warns that he may put his hands on Johnny but he does not manhandle the all mighty.

Gabi tells Chad that he took his eye off the ball while she was here, seizing the professional moment. Chad comments on Abigail being fine and Gabi not asking. Gabi informs Chad that she used his glaring absence to hold an emergency shareholders meeting which resulted in her getting the top position and Johnny being elected to the board. Chad questions his little nephew being on the board. Gabi explains that Johnny has significant control of DiMera. Chad argues that Mr. Shin cannot be okay with this but Gabi reveals that he was the deciding vote. Chad can’t believe this is happening. Chad asks what Jake’s new position is. Gabi responds that Jake got his ass handed to him.

The Devil asks if Jake thought the Devil was gone and remarks that only losers believe in miracles. Jake realizes the Devil has been here in Johnny for months. The Devil remarks that Jake nor Gabi are as smart as they think and it was so easy to convince Gabi to betray Jake. The Devil confirms that he’s the reason that Gabi thought Jake was going to screw her over. The Devil says Gabi already had doubts so he just used a few tricks to have her in his clutches. The Devil declares that he will now get Gabi in to his bed.

Ciara tells Ben that part of her still thinks it’s crazy that the Devil jumped out of Marlena in to Johnny. Ben feels they still need to check it out to make sure there’s not danger for the baby. Ciara brings up Susan not calling him back. Ben says he can try again but Susan then shows up at their door. Susan says she got Ben’s message and as soon as she heard his voice, she had a premonition and hopped on the first bus to Salem. Susan guesses that he was calling about her son, EJ.

Belle informs EJ that she tracked down the henchman who held Sami captive and falsely testified that EJ put him up to it, Jason Smith. EJ asks how she found him. Belle admits it wasn’t easy as he basically went off the grid after implicating EJ. Belle wanted him to admit it so she tried to trick him in to telling her who really did it but she had no luck as he’s sticking to his story. EJ guesses they are back to square one. Belle says there are other avenues they could explore.

Clyde tells Orpheus that it’s funny how life works with his new cellmate being his old pal EJ DiMera. Orpheus points out that they were business associates and ran a drug operation. Clyde questions where he came up with that. Orpheus says he makes it a point to stay in the know. Clyde argues that he doesn’t know anything about him. Orpheus argues that he knows a great deal about Clyde, including that his relationship with EJ went south. Orpheus asks if that’s why Clyde killed EJ.

Belle tells EJ that she’s been working with the Wisconsin police to try to find the other guy, Pete, who was guarding Sami to see if he would contradict Jason’s story but finding him has been a challenge. EJ guesses that avenue is closed. Belle encourages they can try insufficient evidence. EJ talks about regretting taking the stand. Belle brings up Jason, Lucas, Chad, and Sami but says there’s so much room for reasonable doubt. EJ suggests focusing on overturning the judge’s ruling but Belle says the odds of success there are slim since EJ didn’t want a jury trial. EJ recalls Belle telling him to shut up, sit down, and let her do her job but he disregarded her advice at every turn. EJ points out that she’s still here. Belle reminds him that she promised not to abandon him. Belle declares that she knows he’s innocent and soon, everyone else will too. EJ thanks her and tells her how appreciative he is for all her help. Belle asks him again how he’s doing in here and how things are with his cellmate, Clyde Weston.

Clyde tells Orpheus that his information is bogus since EJ is alive. Orpheus credits Dr. Rolf but brings up that night in park when EJ was shot and everyone thought he was dead. Clyde points out that he didn’t shoot him as some two bit junkie did that. Orpheus argues against that but Clyde swears he did not shoot EJ. Orpheus acknowledges that maybe Clyde didn’t pull the trigger, but he’s certainly responsible for the bullet ending up in EJ’s chest.

Ben questions Susan thinking they called about EJ. Susan says it was in her premonition and she’s been thinking about him nonstop since he got sent to prison for a crime he did not commit. Susan argues that EJ would never dream of kidnapping Sami. Ben stops her to clarify they weren’t calling about EJ. Susan asks what it’s about then. Ciara informs her that it’s Johnny. Susan asks what could possibly be wrong with him. Ben advises her to brace himself.

Jake wants to warn Gabi but Devil Johnny uses his powers to slam the door shut and questions Jake leaving so soon. Jake guesses that he’s not leaving and he’s dancing with the Devil after all as he takes a swing at him.

Chad question DiMera being in chaos because Gabi and Jake got in a fight. Gabi remarks that it doesn’t matter why it happened, just that she landed on top. Chad argues that Gabi and Jake can go at each other all they want but this is his family’s company and his children’s legacy so he won’t let them destroy it. Gabi asks what he’s going to do. Chad declares that he will call a meeting. Gabi reminds him that he needs the majority to remove her and he doesn’t have the votes. Gabi says Mr. Shin wants him out and Johnny is on the board with EJ’s votes. Chad doesn’t know why Johnny turned on him since he wanted to work with him to remove vultures like her from DiMera. Gabi says it looks like he got played by his little nephew. Chad declares that little punk won’t get away with it. They then hear a loud crash.

Devil Johnny stands over Jake, who is knocked unconscious on the conference table.

Clyde claims not to know what Orpheus is talking about and that he wasn’t even around when the shooting went down. Orpheus points out that EJ was and asks how EJ feels with cohabitating with the guy that blew him away, guessing it must make for awkward conversation. Clyde argues that even if he was there, it wouldn’t make a difference because EJ doesn’t remember a thing about that night which is a side effect of Dr. Rolf’s drug. Orpheus says he understands that in time, the memories come back. Orpheus asks what Clyde is going to do when EJ remembers that he double crossed him and left him to die.

Belle is shocked to learn that Clyde is EJ’s cellmate and asks how it’s going. EJ says so far, so good. Belle wouldn’t have thought they would hit it off. EJ reveals that they are already acquainted which Belle questions how. EJ informs her that they used to be in business together. Belle assumes the business wasn’t legit which EJ confirms. Belle suggests putting in a request for a different cellmate so his association with Clyde to jeopardize his appeal. EJ calls it ancient history and he actually thinks Clyde can be quite helpful since he’s been here a long time and he knows the place well. Belle questions thinking he can rely on Clyde. EJ admits he doesn’t trust him but if he’s going to survive, he needs someone to have his back and right now, Clyde is his only choice.

Susan questions Ben and Ciara thinking the Devil is hanging in town in Johnny and what makes them think that. Ben says there’s been strange incidents lately. Ciara explains how Julie got them a cross but her stove randomly burst in to flames and then Johnny volunteered to bring the cross to them, but it keeps flipping upside down. Ciara says Julie thinks it’s a sign that the Devil is back in town. They talk about how the Devil could jump in to someone else during the exorcism. Susan goes over their theory. Ciara brings up Susan’s original premonition that the Devil was after their baby in the first place. Ben asks if she sensed anything about Johnny. Susan recalls being at the DiMera Mansion after the exorcism and if she had any feeling that the Devil was in Johnny, she would have never left town. Ben knew it would be a long shot. Ciara apologizes for letting their imaginations run wild and says clearly they were wrong about the Devil being back in Salem, but Susan says not necessarily.

Gabi questions what the noise was. Chad says she’s the new CEO so she can figure it out as he exits the office.

Gabi returns to the conference room and questions what happened as she thought Johnny was calling security. Johnny says he didn’t have to as he thought Jake was going to leave voluntarily but he stormed back in and attacked him. Gabi checks on Jake. Johnny claims that Jake was acting like a psycho, so he had to defend himself. Gabi wakes Jake up and questions what he was thinking.

Susan informs Ben and Ciara that after the exorcism, she did have a premonition that the Devil was still in Salem but she thought it was still in Marlena so she went there to throw holy water on her but Marlena assured that was not the case. Susan thought her Devil detector didn’t work and she didn’t get any bad vibes from Johnny. Susan mentions seeing him before she left town, but the night of Johnny’s engagement party, she got sick and went to the hospital as she had this feeling that there was an evil force behind it all. Susan can’t believe that she stood right in front of Johnny and didn’t have a clue.

Jake tries to say what Johnny is but the Devil uses his powers to cause Jake to have headaches. Jake calls Johnny a creep who tricked Gabi in to stabbing him in the back. The Devil flashes back to touching Jake’s head before Gabi entered the room.

Belle sees their time is up and asks if EJ needs anything else. EJ tells her to just find a way to get him out of this hell hole. Belle says she’s on it and her next angle is Chad. EJ tells her not to waste her time because Chad called him a criminal and sociopath and said he hoped he stayed locked up forever. Belle notes that Chad was out of his mind with worry but Abigail is now safe at home. EJ is sure Chad’s state of mind is much better then but not enough to help him. Belle brings up that Chad was going to do that before he thought EJ tried to force himself on his wife. EJ assures he did not do that. Belle says whatever did or did not happen, Chad led her to believe that they would be pleased with his testimony, which means he knows something that could exonerate him. EJ questions Belle thinking she can get that out of him. Belle says she will sure try. Belle points out that Chad is the one who found the account linking EJ to kidnapping Sami, so if she can get him to admit he planted those or that he knows who did, it would go a long way to proving EJ’s innocence. EJ admires her tenacity but seriously doubts that Chad is going to volunteer any new information. Belle promises that she will get EJ out of here. EJ tells her how grateful he is to have her in his corner. Belle hopes this will all be over soon as she then exits the room.

Orpheus brings up Clyde being up for parole soon. Clyde confirms that he finally got a new hearing, so with any luck, he’ll be about to be out. Orpheus says that’s unless EJ’s memories come back or someone could present the parole board with evidence that links him to a new crime. Clyde says that would certainly throw a wrench in the works. Orpheus remarks that he’s sort of got it coming. Clyde gets that Orpheus holds a grudge against him for stabbing him, but he did that for his son. Orpheus brings up his son trying to kill Ben, so he supposes they are even. Orpheus adds that if Clyde does get parole, it could be useful to have a friend on the outside. Orpheus states that it’s in both of their best interests, that EJ never remember what Clyde did to him because if he does, they will both suffer the consequences. EJ comes back and questions what consequences are those.

Belle goes to the DiMera Mansion to see Chad, who asks what he can do for her. Belle wants to talk to him about EJ’s appeal.

Clyde tells EJ that he was just telling Orpheus about his new cellmate while Orpheus says he was just complaining about his cellmate. Clyde introduces EJ to Orpheus. Orpheus remarks that he’s glad to see them getting along as he then exits.

Susan can’t believe the Devil has possessed her grandson. Ciara points out that they don’t know that for sure. Susan wories that if Johnny is going toe to toe with the Devil, he’s going to need her help so she has to get there right away. Ben wants to go with her but Susan is afraid that might tip the Devil off. Susan declares that if the Devil is in the DiMera Mansion, she will be the one to find out. Susan then exits.

Gabi questions Jake about what happened in here. Jake says it’s a little fuzzy. Gabi brings up Johnny saying Jake attacked him. Jake says that’s a lie just like everything else he’s told her. Jake tells Gabi that Johnny is playing her and got her to believe he did all of this stuff that he didn’t do. Gabi brings up hearing “Jake” tell Maggie that he didn’t care if she didn’t get the top spot of Titan and that he was just using her. Jake says he never said that and calls it impossible. Gabi asks how he explains the signature to take Stefan’s shares. Jake says he can’t explain it yet but he knows Johnny was behind it. Johnny asks if they really have to listen to this again. Jake says he and Gabi are talking. Johnny remarks that Gabi is clearly not interested in what he has to say. Gabi asks Johnny to let her and Jake speak. Johnny asks if she’s sure she will be okay. Gabi says she’ll be fine, so Johnny then exits the room. Jake asks if Gabi is happy now that she got everything she wants and is CEO of DiMera. Gabi says that’s right. Jake says she obviously doesn’t need him anymore and guesses they break up now and that’s it. Gabi tells him not to pretend because it’s his fault. Jake asks if he can get his stuff from the house. Gabi suggests he get checked out but Jake says he’s fine, so Gabi says adios. Jake tells Gabi that he loves her but he doesn’t understand why she’s doing this. Gabi tells Jake that he can go get his stuff now. Jake brings up how they were on top of the world two weeks ago with their whole future ahead of them, but now, he doesn’t know how this could have happened. Jake then exits the room.

Clyde asks EJ how it went with his lawyer. EJ says she unfortunately had nothing new to report. Clyde encourages that good things come to those who wait. EJ admits that patience was never his strong suit. Clyde points out that they have a roof over their head and advises EJ to enjoy this nice, cushy life style. EJ questions what he just said. Clyde repeats for him to enjoy this nice, cushy life style which causes EJ to flash back to Clyde saying that the night that EJ was shot. Clyde asks if he’s alright. EJ responds that he was just thinking.

Chad questions Belle coming over to talk to EJ. Belle asks what he thought she came for. Chad assumed since Belle is the company’s general counsel that she heard the news that the scheming bitch ousted him from DiMera.

Gabi sits at her desk, thinking back to her original planning with Jake.

Ben continues working on the baby swing. Ciara decides she’s going to the hospital to pick up prenatal vitamins. Ben wants to go with her but Ciara tells him to stay and finish the swing. Ciara wishes him luck and leaves right as Jake arrives. Ben comments that Jake doesn’t look good. Jake says that’s no surprise after the day he had. Ben asks him what happened. Jake reveals that Gabi double-crossed him and left herself as head of DiMera and him out in the cold. Ben questions what the hell happened. Jake says he’s still trying to figure that out but he knows that snake Johnny DiMera got in Gabi’s head that he had betrayed her but he doesn’t know how he did it. Ben responds that he can think of one possibility.

Devil Johnny lays in bed until Susan shows up. Johnny asks what she’s doing here. Susan responds that she’s here to see if he really is her grandson.

Update written by Joseph

Gwen pleads with Ava not to turn he rin to the police, arguing that they are in this together. Ava says she helped her out but this mess is all Gwen’s and she got dragged down to the station. Ava adds that this was all for nothing since if Chad brought Abigail back from that island, then Sarah can’t be far behind..

Sarah walks through the town square and sits at the bench, looking at the Tom and Alice plaque. Sarah brings up that people keep saying she is their granddaughter Sarah, but she is not. She’s Renee DuMonde and she’s here to take her life back and finally be with the man she loves. Xander then comes out from the Salem Inn and is shocked to see Sarah.

Kate finds Mr. Shin at the DiMera Enterprises office. Mr. Shin informs her that Gabi, Jake, and Johnny called a shareholders meeting for this morning. Kate notes that they didnt’ tell her and planned it for a time when Tony and Chad aren’t in town and EJ is in prison, so she thinks they are going to make a play. Kate declares that whatever it is, they’re not going to get away with it.

Gabi gets dressed for the meeting while Jake wants her to get back in bed. Gabi says they can’t have any distractions as everything is riding on today. Jake agrees to get dressed, but says tonight they are celebrating. Jake goes to get ready while Gabi remarks to herself that she will be celebrating, getting rid of his lying, double-crossing ass.

Devil Johnny gets ready for the meeting and says it’s time for all hell to break loose at DiMera. Johnny tries to fight off The Devil from inside. The Devil calls Johnny his puppet and tells him to go away as he has work to do. Johnny refuses to let the Devil hurt any more people he loves. Devil Johnny then drops to his knees in pain. The Devil warns him about what happens if he fights him. Johnny says Marlena kicked him out, so he will too. The Devil argues that Marlena and John drove him out with love but he’s not worried about Johnny because he only loves himself enough. Johnny calls that not true. The Devil tells Johnny to go away. He then gets a call from Gabi, who asks if everything is okay. Johnny asks if they are all ready for today. Gabi says she’s more than ready and assures that Jake doesn’t suspect a thing. Johnny tells her to keep it that way because they need his vote. Gabi declares that Jake is going to get what he deserves and she can’t wait to witness it.

Xander tells Sarah that Jack told him everything. Sarah responds that it can’t be him. Xander tells Sarah what a relief it is to see her again as after all this time, he believed that she threw him over on his wedding day and jumped in bed with Rex, but it was never her. Xander is terribly sorry for all she went through in getting kidnapped by Kristen and trapped on an island all this time. Sarah accuses him of being part of the scheme to try to make her think she’s Sarah Horton. Sarah tells Xander to get away from her and stop calling her Sarah. Xander asks if she doesn’t know who he is. Sarah responds that she knows exactly who he is. Sarah questions Xander thinking anyone could forget who he is. Sarah calls him a despicably, lying son of a bitch and says she knows him as Alex and she wants a divorce. Sarah says she fell for his act and was foolish enough to marry him which was the worst mistake she ever made. Xander asks if this is some kind of joke as he doesn’t understand. Sarah tells him that she is Renee DuMonde and she intends to marry the love of her life, Tony DiMera, as soon as he divorces Anna. Sarah says she is going to speak to her lawyer, Don Craig. Sarah tells him not to call her Sarah as she walks off. Xander pulls out his phone and calls Jack, asking him to finish the story he was going to tell him.

Ava tells Gwen that Abigail is back and she knows everything. Gwen points out that there is no case against Ava and they haven’t filed charges, so turning her in will only hurt her. Ava worries that she can be charged as an accessory. Gwen argues that they have no proof. Gwen encourages that Ava has beaten murder charges, so she asks if she’s really afraid of this. Ava responds that she’s tried to build a different life for herself, so she’s not throwing it away or going to prison. Ava adds that Rafe is not on her side anymore. Gwen says she still has her back, as long as Ava has hers.

Kate asks Mr. Shin how many people they are expecting. Mr. Shin goes over EJ being in prison while Tony and Chad took the corporate jet on personal business. Kate argues that Abigail was kidnapped. Mr. Shin says it seems there is always a crisis in the DiMera family. Kate says that Chad and Tony are on their way back, so they can postpone but Shin says he has a flight to Hong Kong at noon, so he can’t push this back. Kate asks why they called this meeting but Mr. Shin says he’s not at liberty to discuss.

Johnny tells Gabi that Jake will never know what him. Gabi quickly finishes and hangs up as Jake comes back in the room. Jake asks what that was about. Gabi says she was just going over plans with Johnny. Jake reveals that he heard her say that he’s going to get what he deserves. Gabi claims that by the end of the day, Jake will be CEO of DiMera Enterprises.

Tony enters the living room of the DiMera Mansion, surprising Johnny who thought that he was out of town. Tony reveals that they found Abigail and got back to town. Tony wants to speak to Johnny about the house but Johnny says he’s in a hurry. Tony guesses he’s having a meeting with his producer which Johnny goes along with. Tony asks how the movie is going. Johnny says it’s great and he’s already working on the sequel. Johnny then hurries out of the mansion.

Kate asks Mr. Shin what’s going on with Gabi and Jake. Mr. Shin says he has not been briefed about the meeting. Gabi and Jake arrive, so Kate questions why she was not told about the meeting. Gabi brings up Kate ousting Jake from the company and not wanting to see her. Jake says they will get started when Johnny arrives. Kate suggests Chad and Tony could join them remotely but Johnny arrives and claims that Tony and Chad have been delayed due to weather. Mr. Shin adds that he can’t postpone the meeting. Gabi says they don’t want to. Johnny assures they can do the meeting without the rest of his family. Johnny says to get the show on the road.

Chad returns home to the DiMera Mansion and tells Tony that Abigail is relieved to be home. Chad mentions that they are both very grateful for his help in tracking her down. Tony is glad everything worked out. Tony assumes Jack and Jennifer are on their way back to Boston which Chad confirms. Tony asks what Chad found out from Ava. Chad says that Ava is still being held for questioning and not giving up the name of her accomplice.

Ava tells Gwen that Chad is never going to let this go, so she asks how Gwen will help her without confessing. Gwen swears not to tell a soul that she helped Kristen escape police custody. Ava asks if she’s threatening her and warns that if she did tell anyone, she’ll tell everyone that Gwen bashed Abigail over the head at the airstrip and that she knew about Sarah being kidnapped. Gwen warns that if Ava does that, she’ll let it be known that Ava set up Rafe on made up charges. Ava asks if they are going there now. Gwen brings up how many hours Melinda spent on that case and how she would feel about the woman who made her look like a complete fool. Gwen asks how Rafe would react to finding out what Ava did. Ava warns her that it would be a mistake to threaten her. Gwen says she’s just pointing out that they both have secrets. Ava argues that she can’t prove a thing. Gwen asks if she’s sure about that. Gwen suggests Ava keep her mouth shut and she will do the same. Gwen then exits the interrogation room.

Jack informs Xander about the drug making Sarah so delusional that she thinks she’s a completely different person. Xander says he will bring her back to reality. Xander thanks Jack and hangs up to go after Sarah. Sarah tells him to leave her alone. Xander tells her that Renee DuMonde was murdered by a serial killer. Sarah asks how he got involved in this scheme. Xander says that Renee has been dead for years. Sarah brings up other people being brought back to life in Salem. Sarah says she only cares about divorcing him and getting Tony away from Anna. Xander wishes he could get through to her and that she could remember how much they love each other. Sarah argues that he’s incapable of love and just wanted her inheritance. Xander says he’s not Alex, he’s Xander, and just wanted to make her happy. Sarah remarks that only Tony can make her happy because her heart will always belong to him. Xander shows her a photo of them on his phone and asks if she remembers it.

Gwen walks outside and asks God if this is her punishment for all the revenge she tried to get and the misery and suffering she’s gone through. Gwen wonders that even if Ava doesn’t rat her out and Sarah comes home, can it get any worse? Ned Grainger then appear and says it can always get worse as he asks if she remembers him.

Tony hopes Chad finds out who was behind this nightmare. Chad assures that he will and they will pay. Chad mentions running in to Anna upstairs and that she seems pretty upset about the whole Sarah/Renee situation. Chad knows it will be rough for awhile since Abigail took months to recover. Tony informs Chad that Sarah took off from the hospital which Chad says is not good. Tony agrees and then reveals that Sarah insisted on moving in which shocks Chad. Tony explains that she would at least be safe here and they can try to get her treated. Chad says no wonder Anna’s head exploded. Tony tells him about how Sarah just barged in. Chad asks where Sarah is now. Tony responds that she’s out there hiring him a divorce lawyer which Chad laughs at, saying it sounds like such a mess. Tony talks about how Renee was a passionate woman but now Sarah is channeling the same DiMera determination. Tony says unfortunately, he seems to be indulging in her delusion to avoid an all out war. Chad comments on how Anna feels. Chad says they have no idea what other drugs Kristen was feeding Sarah, but she’s here now, so maybe being in a familiar place will jog her memory. Tony hopes Sarah gets back to her old self soon.

Xander asks Sarah if the photo looks familiar to her but she says not at all. Xander points out that it’s a picture of them together. Sarah claims to have never seen it before and says the woman in the picture is Sarah Horton, but she is Renee DuMonde.

Mr. Shin starts the shareholders meeting and calls upon Jake to start. Jake says they have two motions; first is to elect Victor to the board of directors which Kate questions, since he’s competition. Johnny explains that the goal is to lull Victor in to a sense of security and then steal Titan from under him. Kate questions it being that easy and asks when the three of them started working together. Johnny says they have common interests. Mr. Shin asks about the second motion. Jake says the second is removing Chad as CEO with Jake replacing him. Kate declares she won’t allow that, so that won’t be happening. Gabi announces that she has two things to offer.

Gwen questions where Ned came from and if he’s been stalking her. Ned admits that he has and points out that Chad and Tony tracked him down, but he left Gwen’s name out of it and he didn’t do it for free so now it’s time for her to pay the price.

Xander questions Sarah not recognizing herself in the picture. Sarah insists it’s not her. Xander brings up that Renee would be about 65 years old if she were still alive. Xander says he can’t believe this. Sarah argues that everyone else needs help, not her. Sarah tells him to get out of her sight because she’s going home to the man she loves, Tony. Xander asks her to please wait.

Chad tells Tony that he could ask Abigail to try to get through to Sarah. Tony acknowledges Abigail going through a similar experience. Chad offers anything they can do to help. Tony thanks him and says he appreciates it. Chad asks if he told the rest of the family yet. Tony says he tried to tell Johnny but he seemed to be in a hurry to meet with his movie producer. Chad decides he should get to the office and hopes he didn’t miss too much while they were gone…

Jake questions Gabi as to what’s going on since he doesn’t remember discussing any amendments. Kate calls this very interesting. Jake asks what this is about. Gabi brings up Jake amending their last plan by going to Mr. Shin about ousting EJ without even talking to her first. Jake thought she trusted him. Gabi says she did and asks if he trusts her. Jake says he does which Kate calls a mistake. Jake asks Gabi why she’s doing this now. Gabi thought it would be more efficient. Gabi suggests instead of adding Victor to the board, they elect Johnny, and propose electing her as CEO of DiMera instead of Jake. Jake gets upset and asks what the hell this is. Jake asks what Gabi is doing. Gabi responds that there’s been a change of plans. Kate remarks that she told him not to trust her. Mr. Shin calls for a vote. Jake says they aren’t ready yet but Gabi says they are. Kate says she’d like Jake to get what he deserves, but she’s not going to let Gabi take Chad’s rightful place at DiMera. Gabi and Johnny responds that they can’t do anything. Kate asks how Johnny could do this to Tony and Chad when they’ve been so good to him. Johnny remarks that he’s a chip off the old block after all. Kate declares that she and Jake won’t be voting. Gabi says she and Johnny will vote while Johnny also has EJ’s shares. Kate asks if Mr. Shin is still on Jake’s side. Jake is surprised to see Kate come to his defense. Kate says it’s what’s right for the company. Kate says now would be a tie unless someone comes in to break the tie which means the status quo stands.

Gwen asks how Ned wants to make her pay. Ned responds that he wants one million dollars or else he will sing to the authorities and Xander. Gwen pleads with him not to say anything. Ned says he won’t if he gets his money. Gwen tells him that she will get him the money, but he will need to do something for her first. Ned argues that she’s in no position to make demands. Gwen explains that she doesn’t have money but Ava has access to the Vitali fortune. Gwen mentions that Ava is at the police department so if Ned can get her out of this mess, she promises to get him his pay day.

Xander tells Sarah that they were going to get married. Sarah pulls away from him. Xander wants to take her to see Maggie. Sarah calls him Alex Marshall. Xander complains that he doesn’t even know who that is. Sarah calls him a two faced bastard and says she never wants to see him again as she storms off. Gwen then walks up and calls out to Xander, asking if he’s alright. Xander informs her that he just saw Sarah.

Kate asks Mr. Shin if he’s voting for Jake since he knows it’s what is right for the company. Devil Johnny uses his power to overcome Mr. Shin, who then votes for Gabi to pass the motion. Kate and Jake can’t believe it while Gabi and Johnny celebrate. Jake questions Mr. Shin, who says that EJ is in prison while Chad and Tony abandoned their posts so it’s time for a change. Jake questions how Gabi could betray him like this. Gabi argues that Jake betrayed her first by going to the board to have Stefan’s shares transferred to his name. Jake says he didn’t do that. Gabi says Johnny showed him the papers. Jake argues that Johnny must have forged it just like he stole Maggie’s phone to text him. Gabi asks how he explains that she heard him telling Maggie that he only cared about the CEO job and that he didn’t care if she got Titan. Jake argues that he never met with Maggie. Gabi says she was there and heard every word. Gabi calls Jake a liar and a loser, so her first move as CEO will be have to security throw him out. Jake says none of this makes any sense. Johnny tells Gabi to get settled in her new office while he takes care of Jake.

Sarah goes to the DiMera Mansion and greets Tony. Tony asks if he can get her anything. Sarah hugs him and says she wants him to divorce Anna. Sarah adds that she tried to find Don Craig but no one has seen or heard from him in 35 years. Sarah says she did schedule an appointment with a lawyer and mentions running into “Alex Marshall”. Sarah adds that she also spoke to the lawyer about evicting Anna but Tony says no. Tony tells her that she can’t evict Anna. Sarah says it’s imperative that she does because she will not spend another night having Anna in bed with the man she loves.

Xander explains to Gwen that Sarah never really dumped him as it wasn’t her on the day of the wedding or the second time as she has been held captive on a deserted island this whole time. Gwen asks if Sarah wants to pick up where they left off. Xander says no which Gwen questions. Xander suggests they go to their room where he will try to explain because it’s kind of a long story.

Ned enters the interrogation room, disguised as a lawyer for Ava. Ava questions what is going on. Ned reveals that Gwen sent him to negotiate a deal with the district attorney and they have an appointment with Melinda shortly, after which Ava will walk out a free woman and suggests she leave by plane. Ned warns that his fees are steep but Gwen says Ava is good for it. Ned asks if he can count on her for payment. Ava confirms that he’s hired.

Chad goes to the DiMera Enterprises office and finds Gabi, who informs him that he is out and she is the new CEO.

Johnny laughs at Jake. Jake doesn’t know how he pulled this off but he knows he was behind it. Johnny mocks his ideas and says Jake can blame him but he just threw everything away. Johnny argues that Jake is powerless and impotent. Johnny tells him to get out before he throws him out. Jake says no, so Johnny threatens to call security. Jake grabs Johnny, who then turns in to the Devil and demands Jake get his hands off of him.

Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

Anna is at home wondering what is taking so long when Tony then returns home. Anna rushes up and hugs him. Anna asks if he’s alright as she had been so worried. Tony responds that he’s fine, Kristen got away, but he and Chad were able to bring Abigail, Steve, and Kayla safely home. Anna admits she had a queasy feeling when she heard where he was headed. Tony acknowledges the island does have history. Anna brings up his romantic trip with Renee DuMonde. Tony says that was a lifetime ago. Anna states that it was silly to bring up since they know Renee is long dead. Tony then informs her that Renee was there.

Steve and Kayla have Sarah in the hospital. Sarah questions why she’s being held in this hospital against her will. Kayla says they are just running tests. Sarah reminds them that they weren’t poisoned and demands that they stop calling her Sarah.

Ava sits in the interrogation room, remarking that the three losers who framed Rafe better not have ratted her out. Chad enters the room and greets her. Ava asks what he’s doing here. Chad responds that he’s here to find out why she kidnapped his wife and who helped her do it.

Gwen has a nightmare about Abigail showing up at her and Xander’s door with the truth about what happened to Sarah.

Anna doesn’t understand since they know Renee DuMonde died years ago. Tony clarifies that he meant “Renee” because that’s what she calls herself and actually believes that she is Renee. Anna asks who she really is. Tony reveals that it’s Sarah Horton.

Kayla tells Sarah that she is Sarah and only thinks she isn’t because of the drug she was injected with last year. Sarah questions how a drug can make her think that she’s someone else. Steve says they aren’t sure yet. Kayla says that’s why they need to do an MRI and CT scan to check brain damage. Sarah wants to get home to Tony and Chad.

Ava claims to have no idea what Chad is talking about and that she doesn’t even know Abigail. Chad says the police believe otherwise. Ava questions what the police think she did with Abigail. Chad says locked her away on a deserted island where he just found her. Ava asks if he thinks she brought her there. Chad says maybe not personally, but she was masquerading as Sarah at the airfield when Abigail was knocked out. Ava says she didn’t lay a hand on her. Chad says someone knocked Abigail unconscious and Ava was there, so he asks who was helping her. Ava thinks back to Gwen knocking Abigail out at the airfield. Chad tells Ava that she can act innocent, but he’s not leaving until she identifies her accomplice.

Gwen wakes up from her nightmare about Abigail telling Xander about Sarah in a panic. Xander asks her what’s going on and if she’s alright.

Jack and Jennifer anxiously wait at home for Abigail to return. Abigail comes in and they rush up to embrace her, check on her, and tell her how glad they are that she’s home. Abigail assures that she’s fine. Jennifer asks where Chad is. Abigail reveals that he went to go confront her kidnapper.

Ava tells Chad that the mask was just a harmless prank. Chad argues that she still stood there and did nothing while someone knocked out his wife and dragged her onto the plane. Chad asks who it was. Ava claims she can’t answer that question. Chad argues that she can but doesn’t want to. Chad brings up he and Tony talking to Ned Grainger and he was the one who told them where Abigail was. Chad adds that Kristen was there at the island so she didn’t knock Abigail out. Ava repeats that she can’t answer his question. Chad tells her that she will just have to answer to the police. Ava argues that she hasn’t committed a crime. Chad calls her an accessory to kidnapping. Ava claims to have nothing to do with it. Chad knows all about her past and says the crimes may seem meaningless to her but this is about his wife and the mother of his children, so he’s going to make damn sure that someone pays for what they did to her. Chad adds that Ava could walk out with a slap on the wrist if she just turns on her partner.

Gwen tells Xander that it was just a bad dream. Xander asks if she remembers what it was about this time since it’s been happening a lot recently. Xander asks if it would help to talk about it. Gwen claims it was about Dr. Snyder. Xander says he hasn’t thought about him for a minute and says no wonder she’s so rattled. Gwen calls it terrifying and claims that he had come back from the dead in her dream and that he told her Xander was just using her to get over Sarah. Xander hopes her subconscious didn’t come up with this dream because she doubts his feelings for her. Gwen doesn’t know why she had the dream but says it scared her half to death. Xander informs her that he dreamed last night that they were married with four kids. Xander admits he didn’t dream about it but he daydreams of it all the time. Xander reminds Gwen that they are getting married soon and that wouldn’t be happening if he didn’t adore her and want to spend the rest of his life with her. Gwen knows that his feelings for her are genuine and that he loves her. Gwen can’t wait to be his wife. Xander comments on her bad dreams and asks if she’s nervous about Abigail coming home. Gwen asks why she would be nervous about that. Xander tells Gwen to tell him.

Kayla knows it’s a lot to process as she tells Sarah that Chad is not her brother and she’s not a DiMera. Kayla says that her name is Sarah Horton and she can prove it. Sarah asks to be let out of the hospital. Kayla says she can’t because a lot of friends and family love and miss her. Kayla asks her to let them do these tests as she’s confident in a treatment plan for her. Kayla mentions that Abigail recovered from a very similar condition, so she can too. Steve says they want to help her any way they can. Sarah then decides that whatever is going on, she wants to know the truth about her life, so she tells Kayla to run the tests. Kayla thinks she’s making a wise decision and will go set them up. Steve decides to let Sarah rest and tells her to hang in there. Sarah thanks them as Kayla says she’ll be back. Kayla and Steve then exit the room.

Abigail reveals to Jack and Jennifer that Ava was under the Sarah mask. Jennifer questions why she would do that. Abigail says Ava claimed it was a prank but she knew it was more and then someone came up behind her and knocked her out. Abigail adds that Chad is with Ava now and he’s determined to find out who it was.

Ava questions Chad thinking she would just get to walk after giving him a name. Chad says the district attorney will want the big fish. Chad adds that his wife was the victim and his name has a lot of pull in town so he could convince Melinda to cut Ava a deal. Ava argues that he has no way of knowing that Melinda would say yes. Chad asks what her alternative is and why she would want to go down for someone else’s crime.

Steve finishes a call at the hospital, updating Brady on everyone being safe. Steve tells Kayla that he was waiting until Sarah’s test results to call Maggie, hoping that they can give her good news. Kayla says the tests are ready so she’s going to bring Sarah in.

Xander understands Gwen is still not on the best of terms with Abigail and that she was very upset when Abigail accused her of being Sarah. Gwen calls that quite hurtful. Xander assures that Abigail, Jack, and everyone else now knows it couldn’t have been Gwen since she was in the town square with Abigail and “Sarah”. Xander says it all worked out for the best since “Sarah” coming back gave him the closure that he needed and it reminded him that he’s finished with her. Xander tells Gwen that they belong together and there is nothing that will get in the way of them getting married as they kiss.

Steve and Kayla go to get Sarah but find that she is gone from her hospital room.

Anna questions Tony about Sarah being convinced that she is Renee. Tony says that she is acting like they are madly in love and she wants to pick up where they left off years ago. Tony adds that he tried to set her straight but she is stuck in this emotional delusion. Tony says Steve and Kayla took her to the hospital for tests, so hopefully they have gotten through to her by now. Tony declares that Sarah will just have to accept that Anna is the one and only love of his life. Tony and Anna kiss until Sarah walks in and tells Anna to get her hands off of her Tony.

Ava tells Chad that he makes a compelling pitch but she will take her chances because if the cops had anything on her, they’d already have arrested her. Ava says they will have to let her go soon but Chad says he wouldn’t count on that since she’s a witness and person of interest in a kidnapping. Ava remarks that she’s always a person of interest so she’s used to that. Chad tells her to enjoy her quiet time then but if she decides she doesn’t want to go to prison, she can give him a call. Chad then exits the room.

Gwen asks Xander why he goes by Cook and not Kiriakis. Xander blames his complicated family history. Gwen likes Cook. Xander says she doesn’t have to take his name but Gwen says it sounds perfect to her. They kiss until Gwen gets a text from Ava, telling her to answer her phone. Ava then calls her. Xander questions who is calling at this hour. Gwen claims that she can’t imagine and answers the phone. Ava tells Gwen that she needs to see her right now and orders her down to the police station.

Abigail says there’s no news from Chad yet. Jennifer says what’s important is that Abigail is safe and not hurt and everyone is fine. Jack is sure it was terrifying. Abigail is grateful to be back and thanks them for staying around to take care of her kids. They talk about how much they missed her. Abigail says now that she’s home, she guesses they can go back to Boston. Jack knows the Spectator is in good hands with her and they are proud of what a good writer and journalist she has become. Abigail says she has them to thank for being her role models and inspiring her. Abigail guesses she has her next big story; The Kidnapping of Sarah Horton. Abigail reveals to Jack and Jennifer that Sarah was there as Kristen had been holding her captive since her wedding last year which shocks Jack and Jennifer. Jack realizes Xander was right that Sarah was in trouble. Abigail says she accidentally stumbled onto the fact that it was Kristen masquerading as Sarah, who broke it off with Xander, not Sarah. Abigail calls it terribly sad since Sarah ended up being Kristen’s prisoner for months and didn’t even know where she was. Jack calls Kristen a sadistic maniac. Abigail adds that Kristen won’t pay for this crime like all the others because she got away. Jack asks about Sarah being alive and well. Abigail confirms that she’s alive but not so well.

Steve tells Kayla that he should’ve known that Sarah was playing them and never should’ve left her alone. Kayla says she had them both fooled. Steve feels she couldn’t have gotten too far. Kayla gets a call from the head of security, who says they caught Sarah on the security cameras, leaving the hospital. Steve guesses he knows where she went.

Sarah tells Anna again to step away from her Tony. Anna says she’s sorry but this is her Tony. Anna understands she is confused but they love each other. Sarah argues that Tony would have never looked at Anna if he knew she was alive. Sarah calls their marriage a sham. Anna asks what to do about this person. Tony tells her to try to keep her calm while he calls Kayla. Sarah tells him that he is not calling Kayla and she is not going to be calm. Sarah calls Anna a tramp and tells her to get the hell out of her family home. Anna says she’s trying to be patient because she understands Sarah is ill, but she’s not going anywhere as this is her home. Sarah points out that Stefano is not Anna’s father. Anna argues that he’s not her father either. Sarah speaks to the portrait of Stefano and orders Tony to tell Anna to hit the bricks. Anna says that’s enough and if anyone is going anywhere, it’s Sarah. Sarah says over her dead body. Anna warns that could be arranged as she goes after Sarah.

Gwen tells Ava that it’s a bit early. Ava says it’s not her fault that the cops hauled her down before she even had her morning coffee. Ava asks if Gwen is alone. Gwen says she’s not and asks what’s up. Ava says she’s being held for questioning in connection with the abduction of Abigail DiMera. Ava adds that Chad was just there grilling her about who she saw hit his wife over the head. Ava warns Gwen that if she’s not down there in ten minutes, her name is coming up in conversation as in “Gwen hit Abigail over the head”. Gwen tells Ava that she will be there as soon as she can and hangs up. Xander asks Gwen who that was. Gwen claims it was a wedding planner that she reached out to. Xander feels it’s a bit early for a call. Gwen says that’s the best thing about her and she will go see her because there was a cancellation. Xander offers to go with her but Gwen says she will just take the meeting and see how it goes. Gwen then gets out of bed, leaving Xander confused.

Abigail explains to Jack and Jennifer how Sarah is not in her right mind. Abigail calls it heart breaking and says she can relate. Abigail adds that it’s also really difficult for Tony because Sarah believes that she is Tony’s old flame, Renee DuMonde. Jack calls that strange. Abigail calls it complicated, especially because Sarah as Renee is madly in love with Tony.

Tony separates Anna and Sarah. Sarah tells Tony to keep Anna away from her. Anna asks if the world has gone mad. Tony says they need to work this out like adults. Sarah apologizes to Tony and agrees to calm down for his sake. Steve and Kayla arrive to find Sarah. Anna tells them that Sarah crashed in and attacked her. Anna asks them to take her back to the hospital where she belongs. Kayla offers to take Sarah back to the hospital but Sarah refuses. Anna asks if Kayla can do something about this. Kayla says she can’t force her because it’s a free country and she’s no longer in danger. Anna argues that Sarah almost attacked her before they got there. Sarah says that Anna attacked her, so she should be taken to the hospital. Sarah then leaves the room to go freshen up. Tony questions if there is nothing else they can do. Kayla says they could try to get a court order. Tony asks what to do until then. Kayla tells him to just keep Sarah safe. Steve says that’s until they figure something out. Kayla adds that they will also know where she is. Kayla tells them to call if they need anything. Anna argues that they didn’t do anything. Tony says he’ll be in touch. Steve and Kayla exit as Sarah comes back in to the room. Anna questions Tony letting Sarah stay here. Sarah argues that it’s her family home. Tony agrees to let her stay for now. Anna declares that she’s not going anywhere either because she and Tony are husband and wife. Sarah argues that they were but she will hire Tony the best lawyer in town to get him out of this nightmare of a marriage. Anna assures they are very happily married. Sarah warns that if Anna doesn’t leave, she will have her forcibly removed but Tony says no. Sarah tells Tony that Renee is going to take care of everything as she kisses him on the cheek. Sarah declares that it’s good to be home as she walks out of the room.

Chad goes to the Horton house where Jack greets him with a hug and says Abigail is waiting to hear from him. Jack tells Chad that they appreciate everything he and Tony did to bring Abigail home. Chad is just happy that she’s ok. Jack talks about what happened to Sarah and says he was just about to call Sarah to let him know what happened and that Sarah didn’t leave him voluntarily. Chad is sure that Xander will be happy to hear that. Jack is sure he will, but mentions that Xander is getting married. Chad is surprised and questions Xander getting married to Gwen.

Gwen goes to see Ava in the interrogation room. Gwen can’t believe that Ava made her come down here. Ava asks if she just wanted her to sit here and rot. Gwen reminds Ava that she’s not supposed to be seen with her. Ava says that is the least of her problems.

Xander gets a call from Jack, who informs him that Abigail just got back. Xander calls that wonderful news. Jack then reveals that Sarah was there too on the island with Abigail. Xander doesn’t understand. Jack reminds Xander of when he got a call from Susan Banks on his wedding day about how she saw Sarah going upstairs with Rex. Jack informs Xander that “Susan” was actually Kristen but she didn’t only impersonate Susan, she also impersonated Sarah. Xander is shocked as Jack reveals to Xander that the woman he saw in bed with Rex and the woman that broke up with him was Kristen in a Sarah mask. Jack says he’s sorry to tell him like this. Xander asks about when Sarah came back to Salem to visit Maggie and asks if that was Kristen too. Jack reveals that was actually Ava. Xander can’t believe it and calls it too insane to be true. Jack says he’s afraid it is, as Abigail confirmed it. Xander asks where Sarah is now. Jack informs him that they are taking her to the hospital. Xander declares that he has to go find her and see her. Jack says there is one more thing he needs to know but Xander hangs up and races out of his room.

Jennifer hugs Chad and says he is their hero for bringing Abigail home. Chad talks about how much the kids missed her too. Abigail thanks Jennifer for her and Jack being there again. Jennifer goes to check on Jack. Chad asks Abigail how she’s feeling and what he can do for her. Abigail says she’s too wound up to be tired and asks how it went with Ava. Chad says she stonewalled him, but he can tell she was panicked. Chad adds that they know Ava didn’t assault her, but given her track record, Melinda shouldn’t have a problem getting the charges to stick. They agree that the only way Ava can save herself is to name her accomplice.

Gwen questions if Ava is going to rat her out. Ava says despite her fair share of crimes, she’s managed to stay out of prison for most of her life, so she’s not getting locked up for this. Ava warns that if she does get arrested, the only way out may be to give them a name. Ava asks Gwen why she shouldn’t sacrifice her to save herself.

Jennifer asks Jack how Xander took the news. Jack says he was stunned but he will be even more stunned when he hears the whole story since he hung up before he could tell him. Jack adds that Xander wanted to go find her so he’s off to the hospital. Jack confirms that Xander doesn’t know the real Sarah didn’t reject him, but he doesn’t know that the real Sarah considers herself to be Renee DuMonde.

Tony tells Anna that he’s sorry that she has to go through this. Anna argues that Tony was playing along with Sarah’s delusions. Tony asks Anna to have a little compassion since Sarah is mentally ill and needs some kindness. Anna asks what if that drives his wife crazy.

Sarah walks through the town square and sits at the bench, looking at the Tom and Alice plaque. Sarah brings up that people keep saying she is their granddaughter Sarah, but she is not. She’s Renee DuMonde and she’s here to take her life back and finally be with the man she loves. Xander then comes out from the Salem Inn and is shocked to see Sarah.
