Gabi slammed Stefan’s picture down on her desk. Connie called her pretending to be sick. Gabi wanted her to stay home and take care of herself. Connie wondered if she was going to get her revenge on Stefan and Ava yet. Gabi needed proof first. Kristen walked in the office, and she figured out how she could get the proof she needed. Connie looked at the Li cutout and said she wanted to play hooky to spend time with him. Melinda met with Ava at the square to let her know that everything on Connie’s resume was a lie. Ava tried to downplay it, but Melinda knew someone who worked where Connie said she did. Connie was a nightmare, and they gave her a good reference to make her go away. Melinda wanted Connie to get fired. Ava was supposed to let Gabi know. Jack told Julie that Abby was alive. Abby was wearing a silk robe at the DiMera mansion. Stefan saw her and wondered who she was. Chad told him that she was Abby. They told Stefan about her plastic surgery and that she had amnesia. Kristen talked to Gabi about Sarah getting hit by someone driving a gray car. Gabi remembered that Ava drove a gray car. She said it couldn’t be Ava because she was sleeping with her husband. Kristen thought she was imagining things. Gabi knew she didn’t imagine anything. She threatened to take her company to DiMera’s biggest competitor if Kristen didn’t tell her the truth. Kristen confirmed that Stefan slept with Ava. Stefan thanked Chad for not telling Abby about their past. Chad knew he was talking about the rape. He thought it would be too traumatic for her to find that out. Stefan thought he should tell her some things because the memories might trigger something she’s not prepared for.

Julie thought Jennifer should learn the truth about Abby. Jennifer arrived at the Horton house. She needed to see her daughter. Jack told her that Abby was fragile and didn’t think they should push her. Jennifer was determined to see Abby. Stefan insisted that Chad tell Abby about the bad things that happened to her. Chad got frustrated by what he said. He wants to manage everyone’s needs. Chad left to take a call from Jack. Abby picked up a photo of herself (it was a picture of Marci Miller). She sat down and looked at the room. Chad walked in and wondered what she was doing. She felt like something drew her to the room. He told her it was their room, and she was stabbed there. Chad let her know that Jennifer wanted to see her. Jack warned Jennifer that seeing Abby wouldn’t be easy. He told her that she doesn’t look like herself or have her memories. Kristen tried to tell Gabi that Stefan and Ava felt bad about what happened. She said they were only together once. Gabi said it should have been zero times. Ava showed up, so Gabi pretended to be nice to her. She invited Ava to lunch with her. Ava left to meet Gabi at the Bistro. Kristen wanted to know what Gabi was going to do. She told Kristen to have patience. If she wanted Gabi Chic to launch, Kristen had to do exactly what she told her. Melinda saw Connie and let her know that she was fired. She wanted her to turn in her badge and work laptop. Connie refused to let her in her apartment to get them. Melinda planned to get the police involved. Ava and Gabi were at the Bistro. She was about to tell Gabi about Connie when Stefan arrived. Gabi motioned for Stefan to come to their table. They were about to make a toast when Gabi thought Ava wanted to help with the line out of guilt for sleeping with her husband. Chad hugged Jennifer. Upstairs, Abby called someone and let them know that everything was going according to plan.

Brady came to in his car. Paulina and Jada were at the crime scene at the square. Jada didn’t get an ID of the driver, but they were going to gather footage from the security cameras. The skid marks proved that the driver hit a pole in the distance. Jada was going to have forensics check the gray paint they found. Brady got out of his car (which is gray) and wondered why he was there. He flashed back to going to a bar. Brady wondered if he drove drunk. Fiona gave Xander coffee as Maggie walked by. Maggie felt bad for having trouble finding the key to the cabin. She thought Sarah could have met with Xander if she found it. Xander told Maggie that the only person responsible was the one who left Sarah to die. Fiona flashed back to hitting Sarah. If Sarah didn’t make it, Xander planned to kill the driver. Kayla arrived and told Xander, Maggie and Fiona about Sarah’s condition. She was stable but had multiple lacerations on her liver and spleen. They were able to fix that. Kayla was concerned about the soft tissue bruising and the inflammation. As long as there weren’t any complications, Kayla thought Sarah would be okay. Brady slumbered into the townhouse and saw Kristen there. Kristen thought he was doing the walk of shame, but he told her that he was working all night. Kristen rolled her eyes at him, and he left the room.

Jada wanted an officer to check all the bartenders in the area because there was a chance the driver was drunk. Kayla called Jada to give her the news about Sarah. Jada rushed to the hospital to question Sarah. Xander checked on Sarah to see if she needed anything. She only needed him. He promised to take her on the honeymoon of her dreams when she got better. Jada told Maggie that she hoped Sarah could identify the driver who hit her. Fiona shifted in her chair. Xander returned so Maggie went to check on Sarah. Jada told Xander that the city security cameras didn’t pick up the accident, but they were going to check with local businesses. He recapped what happened when he found Sarah. Xander realized the driver was there when he found Sarah. He wondered why the person would stay at the scene. Jada thought the person wanted to make sure help arrived. Xander didn’t think it made sense to flee the scene afterwards. Jada planned to talk to Sarah, but Fiona tried to stop her. Her plan didn’t work because Jada wanted to question Sarah. Brady called Fiona to find out what happened the night before. He remembered being at the bar and waking up in the driver’s seat of his car. Brady wanted to know how he got home. Fiona flashed back to putting Brady in the driver’s seat. She couldn’t risk Xander finding out that she was drinking and was the one driving the car. Fiona thought it was better that he takes the fall over her. She told him that she couldn’t talk anymore because Sarah was in an accident. Brady remembered hearing a crunching sound like metal from an accident. Sarah remembered that the car that hit her was gray. The lights were too bright to see the driver. Jada was determined to find the driver. She left Sarah’s room. Kayla walked in the room while Sarah felt a chill. Xander put a cover on Sarah, but she couldn’t feel her legs. He squeezed her legs, but she didn’t feel his hand. Sarah told him that she didn’t feel anything.
