EJ said Melinda was gone and possibly had her fill of politics. Paulina reminded him that he stole a baby to which he said he allegedly stole a baby. He said they were in-laws who didn’t need the scandal, but she said if Stefan was right about what he knew, she couldn’t save him. Jada went to Connie’s apartment with another officer. When they went in the apartment, they saw blood on the floor. Jada followed the blood on the floor and saw the cardboard of Li in Connie’s room. While in Connie’s room, she noticed the ropes on the bed frame and figured out that Connie held someone captive. When Jada and the police officer searched for evidence, they found Melinda’s pocketbook. They wondered if Melinda was there and if so where was she. Jada put out an APB on Connie and Melinda and wanted to find out what Connie did with Melinda. Connie had a knife in her hand and confessed to Gabi that she stabbed Rafe. A shocked Gabi said it wasn’t true because Everett was the one who stabbed Rafe. Connie said Bobby asked her to take care of Rafe so he could be with Jada. Gabi decided to keep Connie talking while she tried to get her phone. When Gabi accused Connie of killing Bobby, Connie said she did because he was going to snitch on her. Gabi asked Connie what she did. Connie admitted to killing Li. She told Gabi that she framed her by sending her a text the night Li died. Connie said Gabi was stupid enough to fall for her trap then and to fall for her trap now. A curious Gabi asked why Connie framed her. Connie said she hated the way Gabi and Stefan treated Li and played with his emotions. She said she loved Li and had a great date with him. If it weren’t for Gabi, they would have had a wonderful life together. Thanks to Gabi’s actions, Li couldn’t fall in love again.

Connie told her they were at the DiMera wine cellar. Since Melinda was still alive when she tried to kill Gabi, Connie decided to kill them together. Melinda asked why Connie didn’t kill her when they were in the apartment. Connie said she would never ruin her and Li’s love nest by killing her. She said she and Li would be together as soon as she killed Melinda and Gabi. Melinda told Connie that she didn’t want to kill again because LI didn’t want her to kill again. Connie appreciated her concern, but she could kill them both and get away with it. Melinda said the police would look down there eventually, but Connie said they wouldn’t find anything because the two of them and everything else in the house were about to be incinerated.
