Abby tried to convince Chad to go back to the Horton house for the kids. He agreed to move, but didn’t trust leaving her there with his family. She said she would be okay, but she didn’t want the kids to get jerked around anymore. He said he did that enough. Melinda tried to get free of the ropes. She flashed back to Connie pouring her tea while admitting that Gil didn’t stab Li. Melinda realized that Connie killed him. She tried to get free. Gabi thought about Connie’s suggestion to get back at Stefan. She texted Connie to do her a favor. Ava told Connie that the last time she saw Melinda she was on her way to fire her. Connie advised her not to spread gossip. Ava wasn’t concerned about her enough to talk about her. Connie received Gabi’s text and walked away. EJ told Stefan that Ava’s enemy is his best friend and that included Gabi. Gabi walked in while he was talking. She told Stefan that she informed Abby about him taking advantage of her when her alter was in control. Stefan was upset but got called away because the fire alarm went off at the Bistro. Connie texted Gabi to let her know that the job was done. Later on, Gabi finished talking on the phone with someone from the hospital. She found out there was no change in Rafe’s condition. EJ wished he could say sorry, but he couldn’t. He said they only have their hatred for Ava in common. EJ realized that he didn’t have to be a jerk about Rafe’s condition. He reminded her that she destroyed his marriage. Gabi told him that he sent her to prison for a crime she didn’t commit. He informed her that he became the DA because she tried to unseat him at DiMera Enterprises. She told him that Stefan made her think they could run the town.

Ava ran into Stefan at the square. He wondered who pulled the fire alarm at the Bistro. Since Gabi was with Stefan, Ava thought it might have been Connie. She said Connie would do anything for Gabi. Ava told him how she faked her resume to work for her. She told him that Melinda was going to fire Connie, but she had no idea she was getting fired. Ava told him that Melinda quit working for the company. It was weird, and Stefan agreed with her. She didn’t care anymore since she didn’t work there. Stefan would hire her, but Gabi wouldn’t forgive him. Connie went back to her apartment, and Melinda wondered if she killed Li. She was upset by the accusation.

Jada ran into Leo, and they talked about Everett’s ashes. She wanted to give them to Stephanie in case she wanted a service. Jada wasn’t sure who would come because he didn’t really know anyone. Leo wondered if Connie would go since he knew her. Jada was surprised by that. He said he saw her come out of his room at the Salem Inn. Ava left a message for Melinda to call her back. Connie saw the message and realized she might be a problem. Chad mentioned that he got involved with Stephanie. Abby assured him that she wasn’t upset about him being with her. She mentioned how she slept with his brothers. Chad was upset that Gabi told her about what happened with Stefan. He wanted her to stay away from Gabi and his family. Chad wanted her to stay at the Salem Inn, but she didn’t want to be alone. Abby felt like the mansion was the best place for her. Gabi and EJ continued to argue. She reminded him that Eric and Nicole were in France while Stefan was still in Salem. One thing led to another, and they began flirting with each other. They decided to use each other to get out their frustrations. EJ and Gabi made their way upstairs. Stefan went up to Gabi’s room to knock on her door.

Felicity showed up giving Mark a strange look. Kristen read about what happened to Brady online. She didn’t think it had to be that way because she had his back. Ava arrived and reminded her that she didn’t have her back. Kristen couldn’t believe Ava was still mad at her because she fired her after Gabi’s ultimatum. She apologized and meant it. Ava didn’t care. She didn’t have a job anymore, and Gabi was coming after her. Kristen said that she should have thought about it before she slept with Stefan. Connie read Melinda’s text messages from Kristen. Melinda woke up and realized she was tied to a bed. She struggled to get free and noticed the cardboard cutout of Li. Connie brought food to Melinda, and she ended up screaming. She warned Melinda that the walls were soundproof. Connie tried to free her, but Melinda refused. She reminded Melinda that she was only alive because Li asked her not to kill her. Melinda told her that Li was dead and called her a psycho. Connie blamed Melinda, Gabi and Stefan for the way Li treated her. EJ noticed Gabi redecorated the mansion. Stefan blamed him for saying that Gabi could stay there. She’s determined to take everything he has. EJ reminded him that the place belonged to him too, so she wouldn’t be able to take half of it. They ended up arguing, and EJ told him that he shouldn’t have slept with Ava. Stefan demanded that EJ stay out of it. EJ reminded him that he and Ava tried to kill his mother.

Ava and Kristen continued to argue at the pub. Kristen received a text message from “Melinda” informing her that she needed a break. She responded back to her. Connie texted that she wouldn’t take orders from a woman who murdered her daughter. She made it seem like Melinda wanted to quit. Kristen was confused by her reaction since they squared their issues before she hired Melinda. Ava was shocked too because Melinda talked to her about that too, and she wanted to put the company first. She flashed back to Melinda telling her about Connie being a fraud. Kristen wondered what she was talking about. Ava said it was the DiMeras’ problem since shew as fired. Melinda tried to appeal to Connie, but she left her alone with the cutout Li. Gabi introduced herself to Abby. Abby was sorry about her marital problems. Gabi explained their relationship to her. Abby wondered if it was because she slept with her husband. Gabi told her that wasn’t why since that happened before she got together with Stefan. She told her about Abby having D.I.D., so she wasn’t responsible for sleeping with Stefan. It was technically rape. Gabi wondered if she could use that in her divorce case. Chad told Thomas that he was talking to someone at work. Thomas sensed something was wrong with Chad. He wanted him to tell the truth. Chad lied to him about what happened. He told him an old friend had an accident, and she was staying at the DiMera mansion. Chad said he was staying there too. Connie arrived at the DiMera mansion with a file for Gabi’s meeting. Gabi almost forgot because of everything going on with Stefan and Ava. Connie thought she should cheat since Stefan did that to her. After Connie left, Gabi overheard EJ asking Stefan about having feelings for Ava. Stefan denied having feelings for her. Any enemy of Ava’s was a friend of EJ’s. He said Gabi is his new best friend. Ava and Connie ran into each other, and she assumed she was fired. Connie was confused by what she meant. Ava told her that Melinda was on her way to her place to fire her. Connie glowered at her while she was talking.

Kristen apologized and said she was trying to protect him. She left the room. Abby met Dr. Green in the park. She told him the mansion was like a mausoleum with a lot of DiMera eyes on her. Since Chad looked at her like a puppy dog, she threw him a bone and said she remembered the night Abby was murdered. Mark said she did the right thing.

She thanked him for changing the DNA results and said they made a great team.

Xander told Fiona that the police had a partial license plate and would hopefully find the person who hit Sarah. When Xander talked about Sarah never walking again, Fiona asked if it would change the way he felt about Sarah. Xander said he loved her more than he thought he could love anyone and nothing was going to change that. He was afraid he wasn’t going to be the man she needed to get her through this. Fiona assured him he was strong enough to handle it and was there to help after everything she has done. Xander wondered what she meant by that. She covered by saying she wasn’t there for him when he needed her. Brady lied and told Jada that his car was stolen on the morning of the 14th, the day Sarah was hit.

She told him she took his car after she saw the damage to his front bumper. Since he looked bad the night she saw him, she figured he was the one who hit Sarah. She said she got rid of the car because it would kill Rachel to see him in prison. Brady said the police had a partial plate. Kristen said without the car, Jada didn’t have anything. She told him to remain calm and do what he would normally do. Brady wondered what you would normally do when you hit a family member. She told him to visit Sarah and offer compassion.
