Update written by Joseph

Alex and Stephanie eat together at the Brady Pub. Alex says he has no room for dessert but Stephanie tells him that he has to have one special cupcake which Alex questions. Roman then brings out the cupcake, revealing it’s for Alex’s birthday.

Cat joins Marlena in her office at the hospital. Marlena asks her about Vancouver. Cat says she had amazing quality time with her mom and her brother, Aaron. Cat thanks Marlena for letting her go before starting as her assistant, but now she’s ready to dive right in. Marlena appreciates her enthusiasm but remarks that they both might be looking for a new job soon.

Leo goes to see Chad at the Horton house. Leo tells Chad that he went to the Spectator office but they said Chad was working from home today which he confirms. Leo asks about Chad getting his message about coming back to work at the Spectator. Chad responds that he doesn’t think it’s a very good idea.

Javi goes to work at Gabi Chic, joining Gabi in her office. Gabi blames Leo for Javi being late but Javi says he left with plenty of a time, then he happened to run in to Jada. Gabi asks how she’s doing. Javi responds that she’s not great, especially after the bomb he dropped on her.

Shawn finds Jada crying in the town square and asks if she’s alright. Jada says she’s not as she hugs Shawn. Shawn asks what happened and what Rafe did now. Jada responds that he cheated on her.

Roman wishes Alex a happy birthday as Alex tells Stephanie that he didn’t think she even knew when his birthday was. Stephanie admits that Bonnie tipped her off. Alex calls this a very sweet gesture. Stephanie tells him that it’s not over yet as she presents him with a birthday gift of cuff links shaped like arrows to remind him of his time as Arrow on Body and Soul. Alex asks how he could ever forget, pointing out if not for Body and Soul, they might not be together and that’s the best gift he could ask for. Alex thanks Stephanie and kisses her.

Shawn questions Jada about when Rafe cheated on her. Jada tells him it was the night before their wedding and that he was with the stripper from the bachelor party. Shawn can’t believe it and asks how she found out. Jada informs him that Javi told her.

Gabi tells Javi that there must be a mistake but Javi assures that he caught “Rafe” red handed on the day of his wedding. Javi explains that he saw Savannah the stripper in “Rafe’s” room with nothing but a towel on. Gabi asks why he didn’t say something sooner. Javi reminds her that he and Leo almost did at the wedding but the wedding was called off so they kept quiet as they figured it was pointless to pile on the drama, but when he saw Jada and she was so torn up about “Rafe”, he felt it was the right thing to do. Gabi questions when her brother became such a dirtbag.

Arnold sits at Rafe’s home and says he can’t believe he’s saying this, but he’s bored with porn and he needs the real thing. Arnold declares that he knows just who to call as he picks up his phone.

Cat questions Marlena about the hospital just closing. Marlena says Kayla is looking in to possibilities but to stay open, the hospital would need a large influx of cash. Cat suggests organizing a fundraiser.

Leo doesn’t understand why Chad doesn’t want him to come back to the Spectator. Chad explains that after the whole Kerry fiasco, he thinks it’s best to retire the Lady Whistleblower column. Leo agrees which confuses Chad. Leo explains that he wants to come back, but not as Lady Whistleblower, as he has always considered himself very versatile. Leo tells Chad that he wants to come back to the paper but as Chad’s newest ace reporter.

Javi tells Gabi that Rafe wasn’t always like this and asks when he turned in to a slimeball. Gabi says she’s as shocked as he is because she knows Rafe and he’s not usually a cheater. Javi asks if he’s done something like this before. Gabi brings up the time that Rafe cheated on Ava with Nicole, but that doesn’t count to her since Ava was a psycho mafia princess. Gabi then admits there was another time where Rafe slept with Sami while engaged to Hope. Javi is surprised to learn Rafe has done this before. Gabi explains that Rafe and Hope had a huge fight and thought they were over. Javi wonders if this was a blind spot for them and if Rafe has been a slimeball all along.

Shawn tells Jada that he’s not excusing what “Rafe” did but wonders if there’s an explanation. Shawn brings up that he did something sort of similar when he slept with Jada’s sister Talia while married to Belle. Shawn says he was in a bad place and made a really bad decision so he wonders if Rafe got really drunk and made a really stupid choice. Jada doesn’t think it was anything like that since Javi said “Rafe” tried to downplay it like it was no big deal with no remorse at all. Shawn tells Jada that he’s sorry and that she doesn’t deserve this. Jada thanks him for saying that. Shawn suggests getting Jada home so they walk off together.

Stephanie tells Alex that since Jada is still crashing on her couch, she thought maybe they could hang out at his place tonight. Stephanie offers to make him a birthday dinner which Alex says he would love. Alex asks Stephanie how Jada is holding up. Stephanie admits she’s a mess since she’s being falsely accused of corruption and “Rafe” isn’t even standing by her side. Stephanie says she’s itching to give Rafe a piece of her mind. Roman comes over and says he’s on the phone with Will, who wants to know if Alex has time for a birthday video chat with he and Sonny. Stephanie tells Alex to go ahead as it will give her a chance to have that conversation with “Rafe”. Alex says he’ll see her later as he exits the Pub.

Arnold calls Savannah the stripper and tells her that the wedding was called off so he’s single and ready to mingle. He invites her over so they can have some fun, noting that he has the house all to himself.

Marlena tells Cat that she’s not sure a fundraiser would raise enough money to save the hospital. Cat feels it would also rally public support and spread awareness, so it could attract the attention of people who could really help. Marlena likes the way she thinks. Marlena invites Cat to lunch so they can talk more about it.

Chad tells Leo that he doesn’t know about hiring him back, questioning if he has any real experience as a real reporter. Leo reminds Chad the article he wrote about Tom and Alice Horton. Chad calls that a one off. Leo insists that he’s capable of writing more than just salacious gossip. Leo remarks that he can’t be any worse than some of his current reporters. Leo asks Chad for a chance to prove that he can be a serious journalist. Chad then agrees to give it a shot. Leo excitedly hugs him.

Shawn brings Jada home to Stephanie’s apartment. Jada thanks him for getting her out of the town square so she doesn’t have to have everyone watch her break down. Shawn encourages that she’s a strong woman who has just been badly hurt. Jada appreciates him but says he should go because he’s done enough. Shawn refuses to leave her in this condition. Jada insists that she’ll be fine, saying she’s just going to listen to Adele and cry herself to sleep. Shawn feels that doesn’t sound like a good idea. Jada agrees and jokes that she’ll listen to Beyoncé instead. Shawn tells her that he has a shoulder to cry on if she wants as he comforts her. Jada admits it feels good and says she can’t help but feel that everything that’s happened is her fault which Shawn questions. Jada brings up that after her disaster of a marriage to Bobby, she promised herself that she would never let that happen again and be with a man who would treat her bad, but for some reason with Rafe, she missed all of the red flags. Shawn asks why she’s being so hard on herself when this is not her fault. Shawn says before this happened, everyone thought Rafe was a good guy so none of them could have saw this coming. Jada tells Shawn that last night, she wanted to kiss him but she stopped herself because of her love for Rafe even after he secretly investigated her and took her job. Jada declares now that she knows “Rafe” cheated on her, any feelings she had for him are dead, so she sees no reason to stop what they started last night. Jada then kisses Shawn.

Gabi tells Javi that she knows Rafe isn’t a saint, but she feels like something is off with his current behavior. Javi says it was like Rafe didn’t feel a thing. Gabi doesn’t get it since she knows Rafe had serious regret over hurting Hope and Ava and those relationships were rocky, but with Jada it was different as they were so good together. Gabi brings up the night they got engaged and they went out to Small Bar to celebrate. Gabi says she had never seen Rafe so happy. Javi states that clearly something has changed big time, but he wonders what could have caused it. Gabi says this may sound far fetched but she has a theory.

Stephanie goes to see “Rafe” and asks if he was expecting someone else. He claims he was expecting the pizza delivery guy. Stephanie says she’ll make it quick as she came to talk to him about Jada. She tells him that Jada is a total wreck and asks why he’s treating her this way. “Rafe” argues that he didn’t tell her to move out. Stephanie asks what she was supposed to do since he left her at the altar, took her job, and hasn’t defended her against the accusations. He argues that the mountain of evidence says she’s guilty. Stephanie says he knows Jada and that she would never do what she’s accused of. “Rafe” tells Stephanie that this is none of her business. Stephanie says it is, arguing that she cares about Jada and she knows he does too. Stephanie states that she just wants to help. Arnold asks if she wants to help, then grabs Stephanie and kisses her.

Alex finishes his video chat with Will and Sonny and tells Roman that they seem more happy and in love than ever. Roman agrees that they are doing great. Alex swears that Will and Sonny are like relationship goals. Roman points out that Alex is not doing too bad in that department since he and Stephanie are back together. Alex acknowledges that he’s a lucky guy. Roman hopes he remembers that since last time they were together, he hurt Stephanie badly, so he hopes this time, he will be more mindful of her feelings. Alex assures that he’s done a lot of work on himself and he knows Stephanie is amazing, so he swears that Stephanie will be treated with all the love she deserves.

Stephanie pushes “Rafe” off from kissing her and asks what the hell was that. He argues that he knows she’s Jada’s friend but she can’t deny that there’s heat between them. He tells her to give in to her desires, but she knees him in the groin and calls him a disgusting pig as she storms off.

Gabi tells Javi that Jada was wondering if “Rafe’s” behavior could be a delayed reaction to his coma. Javi wonders if that’s even possible. Gabi suggests convincing “Rafe” to see a doctor and get an MRI, so that maybe there’s a fix. Javi asks if she thinks he’ll go for that. Gabi responds that she won’t give him a choice. Javi comments that Rafe is lucky to have a fierce sister, always looking out for him. Gabi says he’s lucky to have him too. Javi doubts he’ll feel that way after he finds out that he blew his secret. Gabi encourages that he did the right thing. Javi says he loves them both and doesn’t want to mess it up. Gabi hugs Javi and tells him that she’s so grateful he’s here. Gabi remarks that she just wishes he wasn’t dating the devil.

Leo thanks Chad and says he can’t wait to start his first assignment. Leo throws out some ideas he has. Chad tells Leo that if he’s going to attempt to be a real reporter, he’s going to need to uphold journalistic ethics and standards. Chad thinks Leo will need to learn what those are. Leo promises to work day and night and that he won’t regret this.

Shawn wants to make sure Jada is not doing anything she might regret. Jada assures that she and Rafe are very much over. Shawn says he knows that but she’s upset and vulnerable. Jada assures Shawn not to worry about taking advantage of her because she knows exactly what she’s doing. Shawn asks if she’s getting back at Rafe. Jada admits there’s an element of truth to that but says she’s just trying to move on and she thinks Shawn is trying to too, unless he still has feelings for Belle.

Marlena and Cat have lunch in the town square. Cat suggests highlighting the personal impact of the hospital on the community, so they are hearing from real people about how they save lives. Chad arrives and jokes about always running in to Cat in the town square. Cat says she can’t get enough of the fries. Chad greets Marlena and questions them talking about the hospital. Marlena is sure Chad heard there’s a chance they might shut down. Chad says he’s sorry as there’s so many jobs that would be lost. Marlena tells Chad that Cat has some thoughts on it and invites Chad to join them so Cat can share her ideas with him.

Javi tries on a wig at Gabi Chic until Leo shows up and startles him. Leo jokes with him about the wig and then informs Javi that he just scored a new job as he hit up his old boss at the Spectator. Javi hopes he’s not dating Lady Whistleblower again. Leo assures he’s a real journalist now. Javi says he’s so proud of him. Leo jokes that he’ll get out of his hair now. Javi stops him and says there’s something he should know. Javi then reveals that after leaving his place this morning, he ran in to Jada and told her everything.

Shawn denies still having feelings for Belle and assures they are done, especially after they got in to a big fight when he confronted her about her relationship with EJ. Shawn says it’s clearly not just a fling and it’s not his business, but he still felt the need to warn her about it which she did not love. Jada points out that Belle is doing whatever she wants and “Rafe” is doing whatever he wants, so she doesn’t see why they can’t do whatever they want. Shawn admits there is a growing attraction but he wants to make sure they are doing it for the right reasons. Jada assures Shawn that he’s not just a convenient warm body and that they’ve had a connection ever since they were partners on the force. Jada says that Shawn being here through this whole mess is making her see him in a whole different light, so she really feels there could be something really special between them. Shawn admits that he feels the same and guesses she’s right that there isn’t anything holding them back. Shawn and Jada then continue kissing.

Arnold complains about Stephanie being a tease until Gabi comes home and asks what in God’s name is wrong with him as he cheated on Jada with a stripper. He questions how she found out. Gabi admits that Javi told her. “Rafe” argues that Javi broke the bro code. Gabi asks what the hell happened to him.

Stephanie returns to the Pub where Alex asks how it went with Rafe. Stephanie responds that he made a pass at her which shocks Alex. Stephanie explains that she gave him a piece of her mind and the next thing she knew, he was sticking his tongue in her mouth. Alex wants to go confront him but Stephanie stops him. Stephanie talks about how something has been bothering her about “Rafe”. Alex blames that on “Rafe” assaulting her. Stephanie tells him that she can’t help but feel a strange sense of deja vu. Alex asks what she means and if Rafe has hit on her before. Stephanie comes to a realization and asks what if it wasn’t Rafe.

Chad thinks a fundraiser is a great idea. Marlena acknowledges they have been very successful in the past. Cat adds that the Spectator could be a key sponsor of the event. Marlena gets a message and says she has to get back to the office. Cat offers to go with her but Marlena tells her to stay with Chad and brainstorm. After Marlena exits, Cat apologizes to Chad for being put on the spot like that. Chad asks what she means. Cat feels like she’s the last person in the world that he would want to be working with.

Alex asks Stephanie how it could not be Rafe. Stephanie explains that a long time ago when Rafe was with her cousin Sami, a similar thing happened. Stephanie says it was here in the Brady Pub and she was stressed about her love life, then she ran in to “Rafe”, who was very sympathetic, but then gave her a very inappropriate hug. Alex asks if she’s saying that Rafe has pulled this crap before. Stephanie says that’s the thing as she found out later that it wasn’t Rafe and it was actually Arnold Feniger.

“Rafe” tells Gabi to lighten up with the melodrama because he doesn’t need a lecture. Gabi asks why he’s being such a jerk. “Rafe” asks why she’s being a pain in his ass when she’s his sister and supposed to be on his side. Gabi asks why she would be on his side when Jada is her friend and he cheated on her which she calls a sleazy thing to do. “Rafe” remarks that she doesn’t have to be such a bitch about it.

Javi tells Leo that he told Jada and Gabi the truth about “Rafe” and asks if it was a bad idea. Leo calls it completely unfair of “Rafe” to ask him to keep the secret, making him an accomplice. Leo adds that Jada had a right to know. Javi brings up Jada being devastated. Leo gets that it’s really hard for him. Leo asks what Jada is going to do now that she knows the truth about “Rafe”.

Shawn and Jada continue kissing on the couch and begin to undress.

Update written by Joseph

In the town square, Javi tells Jada that he hopes she doesn’t waste any more tears on Rafe, especially because there’s something she needs to know about him. Javi then reveals that “Rafe” cheated on her. Jada is shocked and argues that “Rafe” has done some messed up things but he would never be unfaithful to her. Javi says he knows and he didn’t want to believe it either. Javi says he knows it’s hard to believe as he didn’t want to believe it either, but he’s telling her the truth.

Rachel Blake sits with Rafe to go over the ground rules to eating his breakfast, saying no biting, spitting, or yelling and points out that no one will come anyway. Rafe mentions hearing a woman’s voice earlier. She laughs off that she definitely won’t be coming to rescue him and remarks that he’s not the only prisoner in this house. Rafe questions who else is there.

Brady and Steve arrive to the Blake house to find Ava. Brady removes the gag and tells Ava that it’s okay and it’s over. Ava tells him that he has no idea how happy she is to see him and asks how they found her. Brady explains that Steve was able to enhance the audio of her voicemail. Ava tells Brady that Rachel lured her there as part of her grand plan to keep them apart. Ava adds that Rachel knew Brady didn’t hear Ava’s voicemail, so she took her phone and sent Brady the text to make him think she went to China. Brady argues that Rachel couldn’t have done this alone. Ava reveals that Rachel did this with the help of her Grandmother, Kristen’s mother.

Rafe asks Rachel Blake who else she is holding here but she says that’s none of his concern. Rafe says she’s in way over her head and warns that when she is found, she will be facing serious prison time. Rafe urges her to be smart and let him go but she says she’s afraid she can’t do that because she made a deal with EJ DiMera that she intends to keep.

Kristen assumed her mail was something from DiMera that she was expecting, but now she thinks it might be exactly what she’s waiting for. Kristen opens the envelope, revealing a vial of liquid and declares here it is. EJ asks what it is. Kristen responds that it’s the answer to their prayers.

Brady doesn’t understand and says Kristen’s mother is dead. Ava informs him that she is here, creeping around the house. Ava insists that she’s not hallucinating. Brady says it has to be some kind of trick because Rachel Blake passed decades ago. Ava repeats that Kristen’s mom is alive and well and has been holding her hostage in this haunted house. Steve asks where she is now.

Rafe tells Rachel Blake that EJ is the scum of the earth and she can’t trust him. She responds that she has no choice. Rafe argues that she can let him go and he will help her get out of whatever mess she is mixed up in. Rafe doesn’t know what kind of deal she made with EJ, but guarantees that he won’t hold up his end because he’s just like his father, Stefano in every sense. Rafe calls EJ the second coming of Stefano as he’s just as ruthless and only out for himself. Rafe states that Stefano molded EJ in to his own twisted image.

EJ questions Kristen saying it’s the answer to their prayers and asks her to be more specific. Kristen informs him that after they talked last, she got in touch with Dr. Rolf. Kristen says they currently have two large problems at her mother’s house while Dr. Rolf may have once again saved the day. EJ asks what Dr. Rolf has cooked up for her this time. Kristen reveals that it’s called CRS-17 and calls it their miracle drug.

Belle enters the interrogation room at the police station where Shawn is on his laptop and asks if there’s something he can help her with. Belle says whatever he’s working on must be important because he didn’t even look up to say hello. Shawn responds that it is important as he’s trying to prove Belle’s new boyfriend framed Jada.

Jada questions Javi telling her that “Rafe” had sex with someone else the night before their wedding. Javi informs her that it was after the bachelor party. Jada demands to know who “Rafe” had sex with. Javi then reveals it was the stripper, explaining that he found them together when he went to help “Rafe” get ready at the Salem Inn on the day of the wedding. Jada tries to argue that it doesn’t prove anything but Javi informs her that she came out of the bathroom in a towel while “Rafe” tried to cover and claim nothing happened. Javi adds that he told “Rafe” he didn’t buy a word, so he eventually confessed. Javi says he doesn’t have words to explain it and repeats that he’s so sorry to Jada. Jada then questions Javi finding out about this on the morning of the wedding which was weeks ago and asks why she’s just hearing about this now.

Belle tells Shawn that normally, she would tell him that EJ is not her boyfriend but considering his mood, she’ll save them both the aggravation. Belle asks if Shawn has any evidence to back up his allegations. Shawn asks if she wants to go warn EJ. Belle shouts that she would never do that. Shawn tells her to calm down and admits he doesn’t have any proof that EJ set Jada up but it’s only a matter of time before he does. Belle argues that innocent until proven guilty applies to everyone including EJ. Shawn then accuses Belle of being biased because she can’t be objective about someone she’s having sex with.

EJ tells Kristen that he’s familiar with CRS-17. They talk about the drug causing memory loss. Kristen points out that if people were injected with it, they would forget why they were kidnapped, so if they use it on Ava and Rafe, then they are in the clear.

Rafe tells Rachel Blake that as soon as EJ gets what he wants, he will turn on her and that his word means nothing. Rafe insists that EJ will destroy her without a second thought and if she lets him go, he will make sure EJ goes down and will swear that she was forced to do this against her will. Rafe asks what she says.

Ava tells Steve that she is not crazy and that Rachel Blake was just there. Steve asks again where she is now. Ava doesn’t know and says maybe she saw them coming and flew off. Ava swears on Tripp’s life that Kristen’s mother has been holding her captive. Steve decides to go search the house. Brady tells him to be careful. Ava asks if Brady doesn’t believe her either but he assures that he does. Brady asks if she’s hurt. Ava says she will be okay. Brady questions Kristen’s mother doing this. Ava calls it insane and remarks that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree with the Blake woman. Brady is mortified by his daughter’s role in all of this and says her Grandmother has obviously been a bad influence. Ava then informs Brady that Kristen was in on this too. Brady questions Ava saying that Kristen knew her mother was keeping Ava hostage. Ava explains that Kristen didn’t know at first and was shocked when she saw her mother. Brady asks how Kristen knew Ava was here. Ava explains that Kristen found her phone in Rachel’s backpack and put it together. Brady recalls when he and Kristen were supposed to take Rachel to therapy together, but Kristen went to get Rachel’s backpack and suddenly got a real bad headache and asked him to take Rachel by himself, so he bets she came here. Brady complains that he just talked to Kristen about this and she looked him dead in the eye and pretending to know nothing when she knew he was worried about her. Brady can’t believe Kristen saw Ava and didn’t help her out. Ava explains that Kristen wanted to at first, but her mother talked her out of it by saying she would go to the cops and that Rachel would get caught up in all of this, so Kristen walked out the door. Brady questions three generations of Blake women being responsible for Ava being kidnapped. Ava then reveals that EJ also knew she was there and didn’t raise a finger to help her.

EJ asks Kristen if CRS-17 only erases short term memory. Kristen says that’s all they need. EJ reminds her that when they were injected, they couldn’t remember why they were kidnapped but they did remember who did it. Kristen tells EJ that this is a stronger dose and Dr. Rolf assured her which EJ mocks. Kristen tells EJ that if he doesn’t like her idea, he can come up with a better one.

Belle questions Shawn saying she can’t be objective about EJ. Shawn says he’s just calling it like he sees it. Belle argues that his vision is clouded by his jealousy. Belle asks what happened to her personal life being none of his business. Shawn argues that she’s making it his business, complaining that his boss was fired due to accusations of being corrupt and the district attorney is turning a blind eye because she’s literally still in bed with EJ.

Kristen tells EJ that she didn’t think he had any better ideas. Kristen admits she doesn’t love the idea of relying on Dr. Rolf, but insists it’s their best shot of getting out unscathed since the only alternative is getting rid of the captives permanently. EJ says he doesn’t want to go that route. Kristen says they will ten inject Rafe and Ava before Brady and Steve find them.

Rafe asks Rachel Blake if she will help him or not. She says no because she has to think about her daughter and granddaughter. Rafe asks if EJ is threatening them but she says no more questions. Rafe insists that she tell him so he can get back to his family and the people he loves.

Jada questions why Javi didn’t tell her that “Rafe” slept with the stripper as soon as he found out. Javi insists that he wanted to but “Rafe” begged him not to. Javi says he hated every minute of keeping it from her. Jada points out that he did it anyway. Javi complains that “Rafe” was bullying him in to arguments, saying it wasn’t his secret to tell and what she didn’t know wouldn’t hurt her and then he pulled the family card about family looking out for one another, so he promised to keep his mouth shut. Jada admits that she covered for her sister more than once, so she understands why he didn’t tell anyone. Javi then admits that he told Leo which upsets Jada, who worries that Leo will put it in his gossip piece. Javi assures that Leo would never do that and was just being a good friend in the moment. Javi says he was so torn, that when the ceremony started, he still didn’t know what to do. Jada realizes this is why Leo stood up when Paulina asked if anyone objected and admits that’s kind of considerate of him. Javi says he realized then that he had to tell her, but then “Rafe” stopped the wedding. Jada says every time that she feels like “Rafe” can’t do any more to hurt or humiliate her, he finds a way to prove her wrong.

Rafe tells Rachel Blake that he knows how EJ operates but she doesn’t have to go along with this and he can get her out of this. She tells Rafe that he talks too much and puts the gag back on him. As she exits the room, she runs in to Steve, who realizes Ava wasn’t seeing things.

Belle questions Shawn saying she’s still in bed with EJ. Shawn tells her that she can drop the act because he knows that she lied when she said sleeping with EJ was a one time thing. Belle says it wasn’t a lie at the time and questions why it matters to him since they are divorced. Belle argues that Shawn knows her and that she would never compromise a case over her personal life. Shawn responds that he thought he knew her but apparently not. Belle asks how Shawn knew that she and EJ are still seeing each other. Shawn reveals that Jada told him.

Javi tells Jada that he didn’t tell her this to add to her pain, but he thought knowing might help her get over Rafe. Javi calls the way “Rafe” treated her, shameful. Jada tells Javi about the dream she had about Rafe wanting her back. Jada says even after the outrageous behavior, she was still holding out hope that they would get through this, but it’s clear they are not going to get through it. Jada then declares that she and Rafe are over. Javi gets a text from Gabi needing him at the office. Jada tells him that he should go. Javi offers to tell Gabi that he’s running late but Jada insists that she’s fine. Javi hugs Jada as she cries.

Rafe struggles with being tied up.

Steve questions Rachel Blake hiding out in the attic. She responds that it’s her house and she will do what she wishes. She questions who he is and what he’s doing here, trespassing. Steve reveals that Ava is the mother of one of his sons and asks if she’s going to come willingly or if they have to do this the hard way.

Brady asks Ava how EJ figures in to all of this. Ava says she doesn’t know but he seemed genuinely surprised to find her. Ava says she first thought he was going to rescue her, but then he left. Brady calls EJ a bastard and wonders if this is his idea for revenge from what happened with Susan. Ava acknowledges that EJ hates her guts but thinks this had to do with Kristen’s mother since she asked to spoke to EJ outside. Ava says whatever she said to EJ must have turned him to her side because he never came back. Brady wonders what she could’ve said. Ava says he’ll have to ask her if Steve ever finds her. Steve then returns with Rachel Blake and announces he’s found her.

Belle asks Shawn why Jada would bring up her sex life to him. Shawn explains that he brought it up by telling Jada that he didn’t believe Belle saying her and EJ was a one time thing and she confirmed his suspicions. Belle asks how she did that. Shawn says that Jada figured Belle’s story about visiting Johnny at the DiMera Mansion wasn’t true and she was right. Belle remarks that she would think Shawn has bigger things to investigate than who’s bed she is sleeping in. Shawn questions how Belle could do it to Jada when she’s the one who went to bat for her with the mayor and recommended her for the district attorney job. Belle argues that he doesn’t know that EJ did that. Shawn calls EJ a vile, vindictive snake who will come after Belle next. Belle is sick of Shawn throwing around accusations and convicting a man with no evidence. Shawn complains that Belle knows he’s right that EJ is behind this. Belle says that Shawn just hates EJ and wants to blame him for everything. Shawn says when something goes wrong in this town, there’s a high chance that EJ is behind it or it’s his crazy sister.

EJ and Kristen go to the Blake house and are shocked to find that Ava is gone. They call out for Kristen’s mother but she’s gone now. EJ rushes out to go check on Rafe while Kristen wonders what is going on here and where everybody went.

Brady gets Ava set up at the hospital and checks on her. Ava says she’s fine and argues they don’t need to be here since she wasn’t hurt. Brady says he’d just feel better if she was checked out. Brady advises Ava to call Tripp so he knows she’s okay.

Belle and Shawn continue to argue until Steve walks in with Rachel Blake and asks them to book her for kidnapping. Belle asks who she is. Steve reveals it’s the Woman in White, Rachel Blake, and Kristen’s mother.

EJ is relieved to find Rafe is still tied up in the Blake house. EJ pulls out the needle. Rafe asks if that’s another sedative but EJ says it’s something quite a bit stronger. Rafe asks if he’s going to kill him. EJ says he’s simply going to wipe out his memories. EJ tells Rafe that he will give him one shot and he will forget this whole sordid affair. EJ goes to inject Rafe but Rafe grabs his arm and they struggle.

Shawn finds Jada crying in the town square and asks if she’s alright. Jada says she’s not as she hugs Shawn.

At the police station, Steve comments to Belle that Shawn took off pretty quick after booking Rachel Blake and asks if she wants to talk about it. Belle says they are just getting the hang of being divorced. Belle questions Rachel Blake being Kristen’s mother and holding Ava captive. Steve says he’s just glad that he and Brady got there before it was too late.

Ava calls Tripp and assures that she is fine. Ava finishes the call and thanks Brady for everything. Brady says he’s just grateful they found her. Ava worries about what Rachel Blake would’ve done, especially with Kristen and EJ’s help.

EJ and Rafe continue to fight over the syringe as Kristen rushes in to try and break it up.

Leo and Javi wake up in bed together. They talk about spending Valentine’s Day together and kiss.

EJ and Belle wake up in bed together. Belle claims that EJ was talking in his sleep about how he set Jada up for a fall.

Jada has a dream about Rafe coming to apologize and get back together, then wakes up on the couch.

Rafe remains tied up in the Blake House.

Kristen’s mother, Rachel Blake prepares to bring Ava breakfast as Ava remains tied up. She gets a call from Kristen, who says she still can’t believe she is hearing her mother’s voice. Kristen assures that her daughter Rachel is not being punished but she will have to learn that taking a hostage is not a way to solve problems. Kristen says for now, Rachel has no idea that she lured Ava or that EJ dumped Rafe there. Kristen says she’s sorry her mother has to deal with that as well. Kristen declares that she won’t have to deal with Ava or Rafe much longer, because she has a permanent solution as Brady appears. Kristen hangs up as Brady questions what she has a permanent solution to. Kristen claims it’s DiMera business and she can’t share trade secrets with a competitor. Brady argues that work is the last of their concerns. Kristen asks what’s wrong. Brady informs her that he had a visit from child protective services and they have a big problem.

Rachel Blake comments on Kristen hanging up in a hurry, so she hopes everything is alright. When she removes the gag from Ava’s mouth, Ava screams which Rafe hears.

Belle claims to EJ that she heard him say that he set up Jada and says she should’ve seen right through his denials. EJ says he didn’t lie so Belle asks how he explains what he said in his sleep. EJ responds that he didn’t say it as he’s not the one lying here, Belle is. EJ accuses Belle of making it up entirely, insisting that he never talks in his sleep. Belle admits that she’s just trying to figure out what’s going on since someone set Jada up and it has EJ’s fingerprints all over it. EJ questions it being so hard for to believe that Jada is guilty. Belle says it is and warns that if EJ keeps coming after her job, she’s going to keep coming after him with all the ammunition she has. EJ says he’d expect no less from her but trying to trick him in to confess to something he didn’t do hurt his feelings. EJ calls it below the belt, especially in his bed after they spent a wonderful Valentine’s Day together. Belle says she didn’t mean to hurt his feelings so EJ says she’ll have to make it up to him as they kiss.

Javi wishes he could stay with Leo all day. Leo asks when the next Longhorns game is. Javi says there’s one tonight, so they agree to a date if Gabi doesn’t keep him over time. Leo asks who won last night’s game since they got distracted. Javi opens his laptop to check but comes across the Spectator article on Jada being investigated.

Steve goes to Stephanie’s apartment to see Jada. Jada talks about having no job, no income, and a criminal investigation hanging over her head. Steve says he’s really sorry. Jada is glad her father isn’t around to see this. Steve encourages that everyone who loves her believes in her and he remains determined to prove that EJ is behind setting her up. Jada appreciates that, especially since he’s had so much going on with John gone, “Rafe” quitting to go back to the police force, and worrying about Kayla. Steve mentions that Kayla is doing much better and adds that he was just pulled in to a missing person case that Brady wants him to look in to. Jada asks who is missing. Steve informs her that it’s Ava Vitali.

Ava tells Rachel Blake that she doesn’t want her breakfast, she just wants her to let her go. Rachel Blake responds that she’s sorry but she can’t do that. Ava remarks that this is where Kristen got her crazy. Rachel Blake says she’s heard the same about Ava. She decides since Ava doesn’t want her breakfast, she’ll give it to someone else who could use a good meal.

Brady tells Kristen that the child protective services worker grilled him about why Rachel ran away, so he told her the truth that it was a cry for attention because she wants her parents back together. Kristen argues that this is not a case for CPS and every child runs away. Brady says it’s not that simple or he wouldn’t be here, so she tells him to go on. Brady reveals the file that CPS had was an inch thick as they knew all about their custody battles and criminal histories, so they said Rachel has been through too much trauma and he couldn’t disagree that a lot of it is on them. Kristen complains that they aren’t perfect but nobody loves Rachel more than them. Brady says they know that but he needed to warn Kristen that the worker will want to talk to Kristen and probably Rachel too. Kristen feels they need to be on the same page. Brady says they need to make sure nothing else goes wrong with Rachel. Kristen agrees. Brady warns that the CPS worker said if they get one more incident, they can take Rachel out of her home and put her in protective custody. Brady worries that they could lose their little girl forever.

Javi can’t believe Jada’s investigation is still in the headlines, arguing that Jada is being made out to be the bad guy when everyone knows she’s innocent. Javi argues that the dirt that “Rafe” has dug up on Jada can’t possibly be legit, arguing that Jada is made out to be this awful person when “Rafe” is the one who cheated on her. Leo says there’s nothing he can do about it now. Javi says he can’t do anything about the headlines, but he’s starting to have second thoughts on telling Jada the truth about Rafe.

Rachel Blake brings the breakfast to Rafe and comments on him finally being awake. Rafe questions who she is and where he is. She responds that she’s there to take care of him. Rafe guesses she’s one of EJ’s minions. Rafe remembers EJ coming at him with a syringe in his basement, so he asks if she is on EJ’s payroll like Rita. She responds that she has no idea who Rita is and she does not take orders from EJ DiMera. She declares that she’s doing this for her family and no one else.

Kristen tells Brady that it’s insane as no one is going to tell her that they are bad parents or that Rachel would be better off in someone else’s care. Brady says that’s why they can’t give them a reason to take Rachel away. Kristen says she thought this was a nothing case that would be dismissed but she appreciates the heads up. Brady says they just need to take it seriously and do what they need to do. Brady encourages keeping their eyes on the prize and pulling each other in the right direction. Kristen comments that he always knows the right thing to say. Kristen mentions Rachel having a half day at school today, so she invites Brady to stay to hang out with her but Brady says he’s meeting with Steve about Ava’s disappearance.

Steve tells Jada that Ava never contacted Tripp and there’s no record of her boarding any flight. Jada wonders where she could be. Steve says he has no idea and brings up Ava’s voicemail to Brady cutting out. Jada brings up the new equipment at the police department. Steve says he hired a sound guy to enhance the audio in hopes of finding a clue as to where Ava might be, but he’s still waiting. Jada recalls having evidence like this in a case a few months back. Steve knows Jada would do everything she could to help if she was still police commissioner. Steve promises that they will get Jada back where she belongs soon and it would give him great pleasure to bring EJ down.

Belle tells EJ that she’s starving while EJ pretends to fall asleep and talk in his sleep. Belle says she’s going to go to work. EJ says he was just joking and tells her not to be mad. Belle asks how she could not be mad when he’s trying to steal her job. EJ says maybe he wouldn’t do that if she wasn’t trying to trap him. EJ remarks that all is fair in love and war. Belle calls it not love so EJ hopes it’s not war either. EJ tells Belle that he’s enjoyed the time they’ve spent together. EJ knows it’s complicated because of Shawn, Sami, the job, and many other things and maybe it will blow up in spectacular fashion one day, but he wants to let her know that he cares about her and it isn’t just a casual fling for him but a genuine affection he feels for her. Belle doesn’t know what to say. EJ says she doesn’t have to say anything as he knows she’s coming off a divorce and he just wanted to be upfront about his feelings which is not always easy for him. EJ jokes that some people don’t believe he has a soul. Belle says she knows better as they continue kissing.

Rafe asks if Rachel Blake is related to EJ or Arnold. She responds that she’s doing this for her daughter and granddaughter as they mean the world to her, so she only wants to ensure their happiness. Rafe questions what this has to do with him.

Leo questions Javi wanting to tell Jada about “Rafe” and the stripper. Javi says he wanted to tell her at the wedding but when “Rafe” left Jada at the altar, it seemed beside the point. Leo worries that it would be like kicking her when she’s down. Javi is tired of people making Jada out to be the villain and argues that “Rafe” has no right to be acting high and mighty with her. Leo says he sees his point but feels it would hurt Jada more to know “Rafe” cheated on her the night before their wedding. Javi suggests it could help Jada get over him. Leo comments on Javi being loyal to Jada despite being related to Rafe. Javi says he hadn’t spent time with Rafe in years and he’s not the person he remembers while Jada deserves better.

Jada tells Steve it would give them all great pleasure to see EJ go down and she appreciates everything he’s doing, but notes that Shawn texted her earlier that he and JJ are already looking in to the case against her and they have access to police files so it’s much easier for them than her or Steve. Jada encourages Steve to focus on his priorities and finding the mother of his son. Jada says she’s so lucky to have Steve, Stephanie, and Kayla in her corner. Steve assures that they love her like family and they believe in her, so they won’t rest until her name is cleared.

Kristen asks Brady what Steve knows about Ava’s disappearance. Brady explains that Steve is helping him track her down now that they know she’s not in Hong Kong with Tripp, so he’s meeting with him now about any leads. Kristen tells Brady to keep her posted while Brady says to let him know if she hears from CPS. Brady says to give Rachel his love and that he will call her. Brady then exits. Kristen worries about anyone finding out that Rachel helped kidnap Ava.

Javi informs Leo that the Longhorns won. Javi wishes he didn’t have to go to work so they could celebrate. Leo comments that at least Javi has a job. Javi encourages that Leo will find something soon. Javi tells Leo that he will see him tonight and exits. Leo sits down with his laptop and reads the Spectator as he pulls out his phone.

EJ walks Belle to the door and hopes she has a productive day at the office. As Belle exits, they find an envelope at the door addressed to Kristen. EJ says he’ll make sure she gets it. EJ kisses Belle goodbye as she then walks away.

Javi runs in to Jada in the town square. Javi tells Jada that he’s been thinking about her and he hates what has happened. Jada informs him that she already told Gabi that she returned the ring to “Rafe”, so he can give it back to him. Javi mentions not having been home yet. Jada doesn’t think Rafe has been home yet. Javi wants to hear more but Jada says she doesn’t want to pull Javi in to this since they are cousins. Javi insists so Jada reveals that “Rafe” invited her in to his room at the Salem Inn and that she cried herself to sleep over him. Jada asks what it will take for her to get over Rafe.

EJ enters the living room and delivers the envelope to Kristen. EJ reminds Kristen that they need to figure out what to do with Ava and Rafe because her mother can’t babysit them forever. Kristen agrees that issue needs to be urgently addressed, adding that she has CPS breathing down her neck while Brady has Steve looking in to Ava’s disappearance. Kristen insists that there’s nothing to worry about because she’s formulating a plan.

Rachel Blake tells Rafe that she’s here to feed him breakfast, not answer his intrusive questions. Rafe tries to suggest he could help her family but she doesn’t want to hear it and declares that she will stop at nothing to protect the people she loves.

Ava continues to struggle while tied up.

Brady goes to meet with Steve, who says the audio lab is sending him everything they have been able to enhance so far. Steve then gets the message, so they listen to the enhanced voicemail where Ava said she knew where Rachel was and she was going there, leaving the address. Brady tells Steve that he knows where that is so they have to get to Aremid now.

Leo calls Chad and hopes that he will consider hiring him back at the Spectator.

Jada tells Javi that the first thing she saw this morning was the hit piece about her in the Spectator which Javi notes that he saw too. Jada says she was first mad at the whole situation, but especially at “Rafe” for messing with her mind last night. Jada adds that she knows she needs to move on and put Rafe behind her but part of her still loves him and misses him very much. Javi hopes she doesn’t waste any more tears on Rafe, especially because there’s something she needs to know about him. Javi then reveals that “Rafe” cheated on her.

Rachel Blake sits with Rafe to go over the ground rules to eating his breakfast, saying no biting, spitting, or yelling and points out that no one will come anyway. Rafe mentions hearing a woman’s voice earlier. She laughs off that she definitely won’t be coming to rescue him and remarks that he’s not the only prisoner in this house.

Brady and Steve arrive to the Blake house to find Ava. Brady removes the gag and tells Ava that it’s okay and it’s over.

Kristen assumed her mail was something from DiMera that she was expecting, but now she thinks it might be exactly what she’s waiting for. Kristen opens the envelope, revealing a vial of liquid and declares here it is.

Days of Our Lives Update

 

Update written by Joseph

Kate goes to see Philip in his room at the Salem Inn. Philip comments on Kate not having Valentine’s Day plans. Kate points out that Roman is still in Chicago, visiting Rex. Kate notes Philip is packing his bags which she questions. Philip reveals that he is moving in to the Kiriakis Mansion.

Sarah comes home to the Kiriakis Mansion where Xander is waiting with a rose and candles set up for Valentine’s Day.

Gabi and JJ kiss at home. Gabi tells JJ that Javi is out, Jada just moved out, and she doesn’t know about Rafe, so she invites JJ to stay the night and they head to her bedroom.

Belle tells EJ that she doesn’t need him to rush off and fight her battles for her as she handled it. Belle thinks it’s very sweet that EJ wants to stand up for her but he doesn’t have to. EJ points out Belle thinking he’s sweet and says he does want to stand up for her because he cares about her. EJ adds that he also doesn’t like the idea of someone else kissing her on Valentine’s Day as they then kiss. EJ invites Belle to join him for a drink, so they head in to the living room.

Jada sits at the Brady Pub with a drink, complaining about “Rafe” inviting her to his room after he ruined her career and betrayed her. Jada tells the drink that it’s the only Valentine she needs. Shawn then appears and questions if she’s sure she wants to do that.

Belle asks EJ what they are doing in the broader sense. EJ suggests living in the moment and not defining things. Belle points out that EJ kissed her on Valentine’s Day and that feels like the kind of thing that actual couples do. EJ points out that they didn’t make plans for the holiday, she just happened to stop by unless she wanted to stop by to be with him for Valentine’s Day. EJ says he would feel very lucky if that was the case as he kisses Belle.

Kate questions Philip moving in to the Kiriakis Mansion when Xander is head of the household and historically, he can’t stand him. Kate asks how he talked him in to this but Philip reveals it was Xander’s idea. Philip explains that they were getting along so well that Xander suggested he move in. Philip points out that Kate said he did need a more permanent place to stay but Kate argues that she meant anywhere but there.

Sarah tells Xander that she thought they were going to the Bistro but Xander says when she texted that she was going in to her third surgery for the day, he thought a dinner at home might be what she needs. Sarah says she is grateful. Xander tells her that he gave Victoria a bath and got her to sleep after two bedtime stories. Xander tells her that dinner will be ready soon. Sarah says he seems to have thought of everything, so all that’s left is for her to show him her gratitude as they kiss.

Jada tells Shawn that she’s pretty comfortable with her choice as anything to help her forget about her latest run-in with “Rafe”. Shawn asks what happened now. Jada explains that she went to tell him that she was moving out of his house and staying with Stephanie but “Rafe” tried to talk her in to his bed. Shawn doesn’t know what to say about “Rafe” and remarks that he’s making some very strange choices. Jada wonders what is going on with “Rafe” and how he became a whole different person, questioning what change. Shawn says it sounds like he changed. Jada suggests maybe Shawn was right that the coma changed “Rafe” and his personality but she’s tired of trying to figure it out. Shawn understands how Jada feels but assures her that trying to drink away her problems is a bad idea. Jada asks if he has any better ideas to get out her aggression and stop her from smashing “Rafe’s” face in. Shawn suggests they play a game of darts.

Belle asks if EJ is saying he wanted her to come over and spend Valentine’s Day with him. EJ responds that his heart did skip a beat when he saw her at the door. Belle didn’t know he was such a romantic. EJ says he’s not usually but he has been enjoying their time together. Belle admits she has too, but notes that does come with some issues. Belle brings up being the district attorney while EJ is someone fast and easy with the law. EJ reminds her that he was district attorney until very recently. Belle states that everything is good right now, but she can’t help but wonder if she’s setting herself up for a fall.

Shawn helps Jada with her dart throwing and she ends up landing a bullseye.

Xander and Sarah have dinner together. Sarah says she’s so happy to be home with him and away from the hospital where everyone is at low spirits, worrying about losing their jobs. Xander asks if it’s that dire. Sarah says no one knows since the hospital declared bankruptcy, so no one knows what’s next. Xander asks if the hospital could really close. Sarah says the staff seem to think so. Xander wonders what if Titan bought the hospital and offers to have his financial guy to make a call in the morning. Sarah calls it a sweet offer. Xander says whatever happens, she doesn’t have to worry because he will take care of any expenses. Sarah jokes about Philip being his new best friend and their new roommate.

Philip doesn’t get why Kate is opposed to him moving in to the Kiriakis Mansion. Kate argues that Xander lives there too and they hate each other’s guts, so she questions why Xander would be inviting him over for a permanent sleepover. Kate says it’s fine for them to get along, but living together makes her worry that he could slip and it’s too close for comfort. Kate asks what if the truth about Victor’s letter comes out.

JJ and Gabi kiss until Gabi worries about needing to clean up her room. JJ insists that he doesn’t care and removes his shirt, so they continue kissing on to the bed.

Jada and Shawn continue playing darts. Shawn talks about picturing the bullseye as EJ’s face. Shawn brings up yesterday when he said he thought Belle and EJ were still sleeping together and Jada said she didn’t think he was wrong. Shawn asks why she said that. Jada responds that EJ doesn’t seem like someone who gives up easily. Shawn calls her a really bad liar, so Jada admits that when she went to confront EJ at the DiMera Mansion, Belle was there. Shawn asks if she walked in on them. Jada clarifies that Belle was dressed and claimed she was there to see Johnny, but she felt that she wasn’t being truthful. Shawn guesses that Belle is still sleeping with EJ then.

EJ tells Belle that it’s highly unlikely that he will do something that she doesn’t approve of, but assures that she knows exactly what she’s going to get with him. Belle is not sure that’s comforting. EJ tells Belle that if she wants him to change, then she is setting herself up for disappointment because he’s not Shawn. Belle says she’s not comparing them, but since he brought Shawn up, she’s thinking that if Shawn could hurt her, the odds are not in her favor with EJ but here she is. Belle tells EJ that if he has done anything that would make her walk out and never look back, now would be a really good time to tell her.

Philip tells Kate to stop obsessing over the letter, insisting that there’s no way Xander will find out they forged the letter. Kate asks about Sarah. Philip asks why she would tell him now because then Xander would know she lied to him. Philip argues that Sarah has just as much to lose and that the longer she waits, the more upset Xander would be if he found out. Philip adds that he doesn’t think Xander would want to stay with someone who lied to him about his birthright. Philip declares that Sarah’s whole marriage rests on keeping this secret.

Xander asks if Sarah is not pleased that he invited Philip to stay. Sarah admits she was surprised as the whole thing felt impulsive. Xander admits it was but feels it made sense because they’ve been firing on all cylinders. Xander thought it would make her happy which Sarah questions. Xander brings up that she’s the one who told him to make an effort to get along with his brother, so in a way, this is all happening because of her. Xander then questions her look. Sarah responds that she needs to tell him something. Xander asks what it is. Sarah knows she is the one who encouraged him to get along with Philip, but feels maybe she pushed too hard. Xander asks what she means. Sarah says she just doesn’t want him to be disappointed. Sarah talks about how Xander spent most of his life feeling like an outsider to his family so she feels he’s putting a lot of stock in to his relationship with Philip. Sarah hopes everything goes well but doesn’t want him to be hurt if it doesn’t. Xander says he appreciates her looking out for him but assures that she has nothing to be concerned about as he knows Philip and himself, so he’s going in with his eyes wide open.

Philip appreciates Kate worrying about him which Kate calls a full time occupation. Philip promises that everything will be fine. Kate mocks the idea of nothing going wrong after that. Philip tells Kate to trust him that nothing will go wrong. Kate agrees to trust him because she knows she is overprotective, but she just wants him to be safe because she loves him and wants him to get everything he deserves. Philip invites her to get something to eat in the town square before he heads to the Kiriakis Mansion but Kate says she’s fine and that she plans to binge watch The Traitors on Peacock. They wish each other a happy Valentine’s Day and hug as Kate tells him to be careful.

JJ and Gabi lay in bed together after having sex. Gabi continues to worry about her room looking like a disaster. JJ jokes with her as they kiss. JJ asks her what’s wrong. Gabi says she’s just thinking about Rafe and how when she was growing up, he’d always tell her how important it was to make her bed and clean her room but that’s not the guy Rafe has been the last few weeks. Gabi doesn’t understand how Rafe could have done this to Jada, humiliating her in front of half the town. JJ wishes he had an answer and calls it so weird that he would investigate Jada in the first place. Gabi talks about being on Jada’s side and believing she’s innocent. JJ feels the same and argues that it doesn’t make sense that Rafe supposedly found all this evidence against her. Gabi tells JJ that Jada is convinced that EJ set her up since he hired “Rafe” to dig up this dirt. JJ declares maybe it’s time that he help Jada prove her innocence.

Shawn and Jada continue playing darts. Jada lands another bullseye, winning the game. Jada gets excited but then accuses Shawn of letting her win. Shawn tries to deny it but admits he felt that Jada needed a win. Jada responds that what she needed was a friend and thanks him.

Belle asks EJ if there is something because she saw a flash of guilt across his eyes. EJ starts to explain that he did not set out to do any of this but they get interrupted by Belle getting a call from Paulina. Belle thanks her for calling and hangs up. EJ asks if everything is alright. Belle then throws her drink in EJ’s face. Belle questions EJ trying to get her fired and asks what the hell is wrong with him. EJ argues that he just asked Paulina to give him his job back and that Belle took his job first. Belle argues that she was offered the job. Belle asks if EJ has been plotting this behind her back the whole time and if this is what he was about to confess. EJ states that he doesn’t enjoy lying to her but now she knows the whole truth, so he assumes this is goodbye but Belle tells him he’s wrong.

Roman returns to Salem, surprising Kate at the Brady Pub and wishes her a happy Valentine’s Day as they kiss.

Philip goes to the Kiriakis Mansion, interrupting Xander and Sarah. Philip thought they were going to the Bistro but Xander says they changed plans after Sarah had a very long day. Philip says he will get out of their way but Xander tells him to grab a drink and keep Sarah company while he goes to get their desserts. Xander heads to the kitchen and then Philip tells Sarah that he will leave her alone while he unpacks. Philip asks Sarah if she’s okay with him moving in. Sarah guesses she has to be since Xander wants him there. Philip guesses she doesn’t approve then. Sarah admits she has her reservations. Philip thinks it will be better for everyone in the long run. Sarah warns that it damn well better be.

Shawn takes Jada home to Stephanie’s apartment. Jada realizes she doesn’t have her key. Shawn suggests they could just knock but Jada says that Stephanie texted her that she’s still at dinner, so the place is empty…

Kate didn’t think Roman would be back until tomorrow. Roman says he wouldn’t miss being with his beautiful wife on Valentine’s Day. Roman tells Kate that he’s so sorry she had to give up Body and Soul. Kate admits she will miss it but guesses she will have to put her efforts in to a new endeavor. Roman gives Kate a Valentine’s Day gift and they go upstairs together.

Philip assures Sarah that he doesn’t want the truth about the letter to come out any more than she does, so they are on the same page. Xander comes back and asks what they are on the same page about. Philip claims it’s just that he should take a room on the west wing and tells them to have a great night. Xander tells Philip that he’s glad he’s there as he thinks Victor would be very happy to see his sons living under the same roof, believing it will be great for the company and the whole family. Philip agrees and exits the room. Xander presents Sarah with a cake from the Brady Pub, asking her to marry him. Sarah notes that it’s the same cake that she had given him and jokes that they are already married. Xander tells her that saying yes to her was the best decision he ever made in his life. They tell each other how much they love one another as they hug.

JJ tells Gabi that he will reach out to Shawn to look in to all the allegations against Jada to see if any of them link back to EJ. Gabi is surprised he would do that and says it would be amazing if he’s able to prove EJ was behind everything. JJ asks Gabi if she’s sure she’s up for this because going after EJ is never easy. Gabi responds that after EJ had her locked up for something she didn’t even do, she would love to see EJ put away for something he actually did. JJ feels he should get started away but Gabi stops him and says it can wait until after Valentine’s Day as they continue kissing.

Shawn tells Jada that he should go. Jada thanks him for seeing her home. They almost kiss but Jada says she can’t. Jada says as much as she hates Rafe right now, she still loves him. Shawn says he totally understands and that he had a lot of fun tonight, but they have to make sure not to do anything they regret, especially since she’s still thinking about Rafe while he’s still thinking about EJ and Belle.

EJ questions being wrong that this is goodbye even though Belle threw a drink in his face. Belle admits she was upset, but now that everything is out in the open, she can be better prepared for whatever EJ is going to throw at her while he goes after her job. EJ calls it his job. Belle calls it her job and warns that she gives as good as she gets. Belle asks if he’s afraid of a fight. EJ says he looks forward to it. Belle says may the best district attorney win. They then start kissing and rush upstairs together.
