Update written by Joseph

At the Horton house, Chad calls “Abigail” and leaves a message that he’s tucking the kids in and about to head home. Chad hangs up as his son Thomas appears and asks who he was talking to.

“Abigail” calls Mark and assures him that Chad totally bought that she was just asking him for directions. Mark is glad, warning that if he hadn’t, she would be in big trouble. Mark’s sister Felicity then appears next to him in the town square.

Kristen sit with her laptop at the Brady Pub where she finds out about Brady, arguing that it didn’t have to go this way as she got rid of his car and told him to run, but he ran straight to the police station. Kristen complains that she had his back. Ava then enters and asks if that’s another empty promise because she sure as hell didn’t have her back.

Connie has Melinda’s phone and gets a text from Kristen, asking where she is as she needs her. Connie remarks that she’s sorry but Melinda is all tied up at the moment.

Melinda struggles with being tied to the bed in Connie’s room with the cardboard cutout of Li Shin.

Stefan enters the living room of the DiMera Mansion where Gabi informs him that she’s dividing up the room so that they each have half. Gabi says her attorney says it’s important for her to keep the DiMera Mansion as her primary residence if she wants to take him for everything he’s worth, but she doesn’t want Stefan anywhere near her. Stefan knows he broke her heart but he’s praying that one day she will forgive him. Gabi remarks that God hears all prayers but chooses to say no to some of them. Stefan complains that dividing the house is ridiculous. Gabi calls his opinion unimportant to her. Gabi warns Stefan to keep his girlfriend on her half of the house and says she has the rest of the house to do as she exits.

Kristen questions Ava still being angry that she fired her because Gabi insisted. Kristen says she apologized and meant it. Ava decides they’re good then and their friendship is repaired. Ava then sits at her table and asks if she wants the knife out of her back. Kristen complains that she couldn’t let Gabi pull Gabi Chic because she needs to prove herself as CEO and relaunching Gabi Chic is moving towards that. Ava argues that’s great for her but now she’s unemployed and Gabi is coming after her. Kristen remarks that Ava should’ve thought about that before sleeping with Stefan.

Connie wonders what to text back to Kristen as Melinda. Connie then brings a food tray to Melinda, who is screaming for help. Connie tells Melinda that she’s wasting her breath because she soundproofed everything. Connie argues that they all enjoyed making fun of her behind her back at DiMera but she’s not so simple now. Connie offers her soup but Melinda refuses. Connie tells her to go ahead and starve then, adding that she only kept Melinda alive because Li asked her to. Melinda tells her that Li is dead and calls her a psycho. Connie gets upset and blames Li’s death on Melinda, Gabi, and Stefan.

Chad tries to change the subject but Thomas asks him again who he was talking to. Chad claims he was talking to someone from work but Thomas asks why he said he was coming home soon.

Mark tells “Abigail” that he has to go and will catch her up later as he hangs up. Felicity questions who Mark was on the phone with. Mark says it doesn’t matter and would rather talk about her but Felicity questions who Mark was saying would be in big trouble.

EJ enters the living room and questions Stefan about all of Gabi’s tape. Stefan explains that they are in his half of the room. EJ says marriages fall apart but they don’t need to include the rest of them in their drama. EJ argues that the tape clashes with the rug. Stefan brings up that the entire staff still quotes what Nicole said to EJ when she found out he stole Eric’s baby. EJ says the last thing he wants to do is dodge imaginary barriers in his own house. Stefan tells EJ to tell Gabi that because this is all his fault since he’s the one who convinced Gabi to stay. EJ argues that he did Stefan a favor. Stefan admits he didn’t want Gabi to move out but because of EJ’s antics, Gabi is now determined to take him for everything he’s worth, including the house.

Ava thought Kristen didn’t judge her over what happened with Stefan and points out that Kristen encouraged her not to be so hard on herself. Kristen argues that Ava does have to take some responsibility since nobody forced her to sleep with Stefan, so she does have to blame herself. Ava mocks having Kristen as a friend. Kristen argues that friends tell the truth and if she hadn’t blabbed everything at the office, Gabi never would’ve found out. Kristen then questions why Melinda is not texting her back.

Connie tells Melinda that she wouldn’t have had to punish her for how she treated Li, remarking that Gabi broke his heart but Melinda was just as bad. Connie talks about Li being so broken that he couldn’t see her as the real thing that was finally there for him. Connie declares that Gabi has paid the price and her marriage is over thanks to her. Melinda questions what she did. Connie says if Melinda had a husband and he cheated on her with Ava, she’d want to know about it. Connie adds that she’s just getting started and declares that by the time she’s through, Gabi will have nothing.

Gabi goes to see “Abigail” in her bedroom and says she thought she should introduce herself since they will be living under the same roof again. Gabi says they say she is Abigail, but she just doesn’t see it.

Chad tells Thomas that he must have misspoke because he’s tired. Thomas questions if that’s really what happened since he’s always here to tuck them in, but he’s never there when they wake up. Chad apologizes for being gone so much and promises to make it up to him but things have been a little crazy lately. Thomas tells Chad that he’s not Charlotte and he’s 9 so he can tell something is wrong. Thomas asks Chad to tell him the truth so Chad decides he will be honest.

Mark sits with Felicity and tells her that he was on the phone with Aaron. Felicity questions how Aaron could be in trouble when he’s at lacrosse camp. Mark explains that Aaron lied and made up a story about how he was paying for camp. Felicity notes that Aaron lied to her once too and she didn’t like it.

Chad claims to Thomas that an old friend is in town and had a bad accident so he thought it would be best if she stayed at the DiMera Mansion. Thomas questions Chad staying there too. Chad says he thought it would make her more comfortable since she didn’t know EJ and Stefan very well. Thomas questions not having her stay here. Chad talks about the DiMera Mansion being bigger and having staff to help take care of her. Thomas asks when Chad is coming back for good. Chad says soon, so Thomas questions how soon. Chad admits he doesn’t know as everything is up in the air right now. Chad asks if Thomas is okay. Thomas then questions if the woman he said was in an accident is his girlfriend.

“Abigail” tells Gabi that she knows she doesn’t look the same. Gabi says she heard about the plastic surgery and the amnesia. Gabi then tells “Abigail” that she is at war with her husband, Stefan. “Abigail” says she’s sorry to hear that. Gabi questions that since they weren’t exactly friends. Gabi then clarifies that they were friends then enemies and ultimately frenemies. “Abigail” says it sounds complicated and asks if it was about her sleeping with Stefan. Gabi question her remembering that but she clarifies that EJ told her. Gabi says it wasn’t about that as it was before she and Stefan were involved. “Abigail” says she’s sorry about that. Gabi tells her not to be as she wasn’t in her right mind while Stefan is a different story.

EJ tells Stefan that half of the house belongs to him so Gabi will be in for a rude awakening if she tries to make a move on it. Stefan says it’s good to know that he has an ally as long as EJ has something to lose as well. EJ remarks that Stefan made his bed and invited Ava into it, asking why he should be inconvenienced because Stefan doesn’t know how to take a cold shower like the rest of them. EJ questions Stefan sleeping with Ava of all people. Stefan tells him to leave Ava out of this. EJ argues that Ava kidnapped his mother and drove her off a cliff so it’s a miracle that Susan even survived. EJ states that Ava is very much in this conversation. Stefan brings up the women EJ has brought in and insists that Ava is off limits. EJ questions his instinct to protect Ava. EJ then brings up that Stefan’s twin brother was engaged to Ava and now his heart keeps his blood pumping. Stefan tells EJ to keep it up. EJ jokes that it would explain so much and wishes Stefan luck because he’s going to need it.

Ava asks Kristen what the problem is. Kristen tells her that she’s been trying to reach Melinda about a contract problem as she has a friend who needs legal advice. Ava mocks Kristen having another friend. Kristen says she got a text from Melinda, saying she needs a break and complains that she just hired her. Kristen remarks that she better have a damn good explanation for this as she texts Melinda back.

Connie tells Melinda that it looks like Kristen isn’t too happy to hear about her leave of absence and now she wants details. Melinda argues that Kristen won’t buy anything Connie writes and offers to come up with something she will. Connie mocks Melinda thinking she’s an idiot while she’s tied to a bed. Connie comes up with something that she says will shut Kristen up.

Kristen gets Connie’s text from Melinda’s phone, claiming she doesn’t want to take orders from the woman who murdered her daughter, so she can take her job and shove it. Ava questions Melinda saying that. Kristen says she doesn’t get it since Melinda’s daughter’s death was an accident and they talked about it before she hired her. Ava confirms Melinda said the same to her, so Kristen questions where the hell this is coming from. Kristen argues that Melinda is competent, came on board, and never looked back. Kristen talks about Melinda being in early. Ava mentions that Melinda never said a word about being discontent and always putting the company first. Ava then thinks back to Melinda telling her about what she discovered about Connie. Ava tells Kristen it’s a DiMera problem and she doesn’t work there anymore.

Melinda laughs at Connie’s plan and asks if she really thinks no one will miss her or come looking for her. Connie mocks Melinda being beloved by so many people and thinks Melinda overestimated her popularity. Connie says she has things to go do. Melinda argues that it’s not too late and that part of her must know this is messed up. Connie argues that Melinda only cares because she wants something and says she’ll be back as she exits, leaving Melinda screaming in frustration.

Stefan asks EJ to fix him a drink but EJ tells him to fix it himself. EJ says Stefan is not family to him after he and Gabi did everything in their power to take DiMera away from him. Stefan argues that EJ always gave as good as he got. Stefan says not to pretend this is about the company when it’s about his life. Stefan says not long ago, he hoped all of these wars between them would be over and they could at least be brothers. EJ remarks that misery loves company which is why he’s looking forward to his front row seat to Stefan’s deathmatch with Gabi.

Gabi tells “Abigail” about her dissociative identity disorder and how she modeled one of her alters after her as “Gabby”, but she was integrated long ago. “Abigail” says every time she meets someone else in the family, she feels like she owes them an apology. Gabi tells her not to beat herself up about sleeping with Stefan as she wasn’t in her right mind so she couldn’t consent which means it was technically rape. Gabi wonders if she can use that in her divorce case. “Abigail” comments on Gabi being angry. Gabi figures she would be too if her husband cheated. “Abigail” tells Gabi that she’s sorry she’s going through all of this. Gabi warns her to be careful who she shows civility to in this house since she doesn’t have any allies. “Abigail” says even if she had allies, she wouldn’t remember them, and that Gabi is the only one who doesn’t look at her like she has three heads. “Abigail” feels she could use all the frenemies she can get. Gabi feels the same and says this will be continued as she has much more work to do and exits.

Chad assures Thomas that he doesn’t have a girlfriend. Chad promises that he misses Thomas and Charlotte more than they miss him, insisting their whole family will be under the same roof again soon as he hugs him.

Felicity asks Mark if he really has to punish Aaron. Mark says he shouldn’t have lied and they all have rules to follow. Felicity argues that Mark gets to make the rules. Mark says that’s what their parents would’ve wanted until Felicity and Aaron get older. Felicity asks what happens if Mark lies. Mark jokes that she can ask when she catches him lying but she hasn’t. Felicity wishes their parents didn’t die in the accident. Mark says he does too but promises he’s not going anywhere as they hug.

Chad goes to the DiMera Mansion and joins “Abigail” in the bedroom. She notes that it took him awhile after he said he tucked in the kids. She asks if everything is okay. Chad says not exactly since Thomas was asking why he’s not living at home. She asks what he told him. Chad says he told him that he has a friend staying here that he’s taking care of. Chad admits he doesn’t like lying to Thomas and doesn’t know how much longer he can do it. “Abigail” questions if Chad’s going to tell him that she’s alive.

Connie shows up at the DiMera Mansion where Gabi answers the door. Gabi thought she was still sick but Connie assures she’ll be back at the office tomorrow and wanted Gabi to have everything she put together for her meeting with the new suppliers. Connie feels the new line of Gabi Chic will be better than ever. Gabi admits she nearly forgot about the meeting because she’s been pretty busy as she plans to take Stefan for all he’s worth including the mansion. Connie says good for her after what he did to her and calls it an eye for an eye. Connie then declares that since Stefan slept with Ava, she thinks Gabi should sleep with someone else too.

Kristen complains that Ava has had her fun and asks her to cough up what Melinda discovered. Ava refuses so Kristen calls her a bitch. Ava asks if she can have her job back first. Kristen argues that her hands are tied. Ava argues that Kristen chose to screw her over rather than lose a couple dollars. Kristen says it’s more complicated than that and she knows it. Ava says it’s not personal, just business. Kristen then gathers her things and walks out of the Pub.

Melinda screams that Connie is a psycho bitch as she remains tied to the bed. Melinda guesses Connie being this crazy is why she never had another date with Li. Melinda declares that she has to get out of her before she completely loses it.

Ava exits the Pub and runs in to Connie, who calls her the homewrecker. Ava asks why Connie had to tell Gabi. Connie argues that she needed to know. Ava says it wasn’t her business. Connie feels Gabi had a right to know her husband was cheating on her and calls Ava a skank. Ava warns there was a time in her life where she wouldn’t make it to the end of her sentence for talking to her like that. Connie points out that now Ava is unemployed and remarks that she’s glad Gabi made Kristen fire Ava because she doesn’t deserve to work at DiMera. Ava comments on Connie being let go too. Connie argues that she’s gainfully employed. Ava brings up that last time she spoke to Melinda, she was on her way to Connie’s apartment to give her the axe.

Melinda tries to break free from being tied up.

Gabi listens in from outside the living room as EJ tells Stefan that Gabi better rethink going after the house, but as for everything else, he hopes she leaves him with nothing but his socks. Stefan questions EJ taking Gabi’s side. EJ suggests Stefan’s been given a gift from above and he doesn’t even know it which Stefan questions. EJ tells Stefan that maybe Gabi was just a placeholder until the real love of his life came in. Stefan says he loves Gabi, not Ava. EJ argues that he shares an affinity for Ava that he and Gabi do not. Stefan responds that he doesn’t owe him an explanation. EJ agrees and warns Stefan that any enemy of Ava’s is a friend of his as he declares that means Gabi is his new BFF. Gabi thinks back to Connie’s suggestion that she should sleep with someone else too.

Chad tells “Abigail” that he doesn’t know what to do as part of him is wondering if they should tell the kids the truth about her being alive. “Abigail” argues that they can’t as it will only confuse them. Chad is tired of lying to them every night and points out that they have no idea how long it will take for her memory to come back. She points out that she had a memory today. Chad says it was a terrible one and complains that it still doesn’t make sense why she remembers her murder but nothing else. Chad says maybe it’s too soon to know what that means in the big picture. “Abigail” suggests it means they have to give it more time. Chad insists he’s not trying to pressure her about her memory, but he made a promise to Thomas and he can’t go back on that. “Abigail” decides the only solution then is that he needs to move out.

Days of Our Lives Update

 

Update written by Joseph

At the hospital, Tate asks Holly how Sarah’s accident could be their fault. Holly explains that Sarah and Xander were headed to the Horton Cabin for their honeymoon. Tate realizes they would’ve caught them there. Holly adds that they were waiting in the town square for Maggie to bring the key but she couldn’t find it because they took it. Holly says that Sarah was going to help Maggie look for the key that they took and that’s when she got hit by the car.

Xander asks Sarah how she’s doing. Sarah responds that Maggie gave her a nice pep talk that inspired her to get out of the hospital bed and start living her life. Xander questions it being soon that. Sarah says she will need physical therapy, but medically there’s no reason for her to stay in the hospital. Xander decides that he will go see about getting her released then and he will also check in with Jada in hopes that they have apprehended the suspect by now. Sarah encourages him to leave Jada alone and assures that she will reach out when there’s news. Xander agrees to leave Jada alone for now but vows that when he finds out who did this to her, there will be hell to pay.

Fiona sits in the town square with Victoria and talks about the iced tea not hitting the spot as she’s used to something much stronger. Fiona talks about how Victoria is the only one she can confide in because she doesn’t judge her. Fiona talks about being responsible for Sarah not being here and being in the hospital, possibly never walking again. Fiona declares that she destroyed a woman’s future and tore a hole in the heart of the people that love her. Justin then approaches Fiona.

John paces at home, waiting for Brady to call him back. John says it’s driving him crazy and tells Marlena that he won’t be able to relax until they clear this up. Marlena knows John is worried but wonders if they are jumping to conclusions. John says in his mind, there’s only one reason that Brady would lie to Jada about his car being supposedly stolen. John doesn’t want to believe that Brady hit Sarah and just kept going, but tells Marlena that it’s not looking good.

Brady goes to the police station and tells Jada that he’s there to make a confession that he was driving the car that hit Sarah Kiriakis. Jada questions Brady lying earlier which he confirms. Brady admits he panicked and wasn’t thinking straight. Jada asks what made him come clean and if Kristen tipped him off about the warrant for his arrest. Brady insists that he’s here to make a good example for his son and show him that they all have to take responsibility for their actions. Brady adds that the guilt is eating him up over the fact that Sarah may never walk again because of something stupid he did by driving drunk. Brady declares that he was evil in that moment. Jada stops him and says they have to do this by the book and advises him to call his attorney before she takes his official statement.

Fiona asks Justin if they have met. Justin introduces himself as Victor’s nephew. Fiona remembers that Justin was at Xander’s almost wedding and says he was just having a chat with Victoria. Fiona is surprised she didn’t recognize Justin when he was the one who had her letter to Victor. Justin understands they weren’t properly introduced. Fiona is thankful that Xander has forgiven her and they are now on excellent terms, pointing out that he even lets her watch the baby while he takes care of Sarah. Justin says it’s terrible what happened to Sarah and hopes that the partial license plate leads to the culprit being arrested.

Xander returns to Sarah’s room and informs her that Kayla is working on her release now. Sarah excitedly says she can’t wait to get out of the hospital. Maggie decides she will check with Fiona to see if she needs any help with Victoria and tells Sarah to text her when she is home. Sarah thanks Xander for everything. Xander says it’s his pleasure to bring his wife home as Maggie exits. Xander adds that he won’t let Sarah push herself too hard. Sarah says she just wants to hang out with her husband, their daughter, and sleep in their own bed. Xander tells Sarah that he has a proposition for her that he thinks will make a real difference to her recovery.

Holly argues that if they hadn’t been lying and sneaking around the cabin without permission, Sarah wouldn’t have been in that accident or paralyzed now. Tate insists that’s not how it works and that so many factors came together to put Sarah in the wrong place at the wrong time. Holly says Maggie basically said the same thing. Tate is surprised that she told Maggie. Holly figured that since Brady caught them, she may as well come clean to her family too but then she realized their actions may have caused Sarah’s accident, so she just ran out of the room. Tate says what happened to Sarah is horrible but the only person to blame is the person who hit her and then sped off.

Marlena tells John that it’s impossible to imagine Brady hitting Sarah with his car and then leaving her in the street, even if he were drinking. John argues that he wouldn’t be thinking clearly if he was drunk. Marlena asks what about when he sobered up and realized what happened, asking why he wouldn’t come forward then. Marlena says that instead he covered up with the car and that’s not their Brady. John brings up Marlena asking Paul about Brady’s sobriety. Marlena confirms that Paul said Brady claimed he was fine and even going to meetings. John points out that was before the accident, so he wonders if Brady told Paul something else that might shed some light on this. John decides to call Paul.

Xander informs Sarah that he wants to move back in to the Kiriakis Mansion as he thought she would have difficulty in her wheelchair in their small apartment. Xander brings up how the mansion is wheelchair friendly since Victor had mobility issues and even had an elevator put in. Xander adds that she’d have a staff to help make her life easier including with Victoria, plus Maggie will be there all the time. Sarah agrees it would be more convenient and being closer to Maggie would be helpful, so she agrees to do it. Xander says he will let Henderson to know to expect them. Xander then asks if it would be okay with her if he invited Fiona to move in as well. Sarah thinks that is great. Xander says they’ve been getting along so well that he doesn’t see any reason for Fiona to keep paying rent at the Salem Inn. Sarah is thrilled that Fiona has been there for him through all this and calls inviting Fiona to their wedding the best decision she ever made.

Justin tells Fiona that he’s glad he ran in to her because he had been meaning to thank her which she questions. Justin explains that for almost a year, he thought Alex wasn’t his son until thanks to her, it came out that Xander was actually Victor’s heir. Justin tells Fiona that he’s incredibly grateful to her because she gave him his son back. Fiona feels she doesn’t deserve too much credit as she was just setting the record straight and had no idea Theresa was lying to everyone. Justin insists that she changed so many peoples’ lives for the better, including his. Justin then gets a call from Brady, who asks him to come to the police station right away as he needs a lawyer. Justin asks what’s happening. Brady responds that he turned himself in for a very serious crime, Sarah’s hit and run. Justin is shocked and says he’ll be right there as he hangs up. Fiona asks if everything is alright. Justin doesn’t know if Fiona ever met Xander’s nephew, Brady. Fiona claims that she has not had the pleasure but she’s heard wonderful things about him. Justin is afraid that’s about to change. Fiona asks why, noting that he said something about a crime and asks if it has to do with Sarah’s accident and points out that she is family. Justin decides she’ll hear it from Xander anyway but apparently, Brady has turned himself in for Sarah’s hit and run which shocks Fiona.

Holly asks Tate how things went with Brady since he said he didn’t know if he was in trouble. Tate thought Brady was going to go off on him, but he seemed strangely distracted like his mind was somewhere completely different and then he got a mysterious text and left really abruptly. Holly agrees that it sounds weird but encourages that maybe it’s a good thing since if Brady has other things going on, he won’t have time to be mad at him. Tate just hopes everything is okay and talks about being distant this summer and with everything going on with Theresa, he doesn’t want to lose what he has with Brady. Holly agrees that he needs his dad. Tate decides he should head home and face the music. Holly says she will go with him to make sure he gets home safe and they can face Brady together. Tate says she doesn’t have to but Holly insists, pointing out that they don’t know how much time they will get to spend together now that their secret is out.

John thanks Paul and finishes his call. John then tells Marlena that as far as Paul knows, Brady isn’t drinking but there was an incident that he didn’t tell her about as Paul walked in on Brady pouring himself an alcoholic beverage and that Brady admitted he was tempted because of everything with Theresa, but Paul swears that Brady gave him the drink and he got rid of it. Marlena argues that one misstep doesn’t mean Brady has fallen off the wagon but John has the sinking feeling that they are on the right track.

Xander helps Sarah in to her wheelchair, reminding her that she’s not alone and that he will always be there for her as they kiss.

Fiona decides she’s going to need a stronger drink but Maggie finds her and says she was just on her way to her place to see if she needed any help with Victoria. Fiona says that would be lovely. Maggie asks her what’s wrong as she looks white as a sheet. Fiona guesses she hasn’t heard the news and informs Maggie that someone has confessed to hitting Sarah which shocks Maggie. Fiona explains that she was with Justin when he got a call from the culprit himself, who said he had just turned himself in and needed representation. Maggie questions Justin accepting the call and who it was. Fiona is afraid she knows him as she reveals it was Brady.

Justin joins Brady and Jada in the interrogation room. Brady thanks him for coming so quickly. Justin asks for a moment alone with Brady. Jada says she wants to take his statement as soon as possible as she then exits the room. Justin tells Brady that he doesn’t understand, questioning Brady hitting Sarah with his car and then just driving away. Brady tells him that he understands if Justin doesn’t want to take this case since Sarah and Xander are family. Justin argues that Brady is family too but he’s going to need him to explain himself by telling him everything that happened that night. Brady responds that the problem is, he doesn’t really know.

John tells Marlena that he can’t wait around anymore as he has to go look for Brady. John declares that if his son’s in trouble, he needs to find him. Marlena argues that Brady could be anywhere. John decides he’ll start with the bars. John goes to leave but Tate comes home with Holly, shocking John and Marlena. Marlena notes his crutches and asks if he got hurt at lacrosse camp but Tate reveals that he never went to camp.

Justin asks how Brady could not know what happened. Brady admits he was drunk and that he’s been messed up since Alex and Theresa’s wedding. Brady reveals he’s been going on out of control benders and thought he was hiding it pretty well but apparently people started to notice. Brady informs Justin that on the night of Sarah’s accident, he was drinking at Small Bar, so he just assumes he hit her on the way home but he doesn’t exactly remember what happened other than he woke up in the driver’s seat of his car with a splitting headache with no recollection of how he got to the parking garage. Brady adds that he heard the police talking about a gray sedan which is when he realized he might have done it. Brady says he went to look at the car and saw damage on the front bender. Brady tells Justin that he couldn’t take it anymore and had to turn himself in. Justin understands but points out that Brady doesn’t actually know for sure that he’s guilty.

Xander brings Sarah home to the Kiriakis Mansion and asks if there’s anything he can get her from the kitchen. Sarah mentions Maggie making her famous lemon bars and thanks him for everything. Sarah says Xander has been so loving, understanding, and supportive through this whole thing so she couldn’t have gotten through this without him. Xander assures that he worships and adores her, so he will bring her everything she desires for the rest of their lives. Xander tells Sarah that he loves her and will be by her side forever as they kiss. Xander then heads to the kitchen to get her lemon bar.

Maggie asks Fiona if they are sure it was Brady, arguing that it doesn’t make any sense since Brady wouldn’t flee the scene if he hit someone with his car, unless he had been drinking. Fiona recalls Maggie saying she was Brady’s sponsor. Maggie says that Brady has had his struggles. Maggie then gets a text from Xander. Fiona asks if he’s heard the news. Maggie says no as Xander has checked Sarah out of the hospital and are moving in with her at the Kiriakis Mansion. Maggie adds that Xander said in his text that he wants them to bring Victoria and also for Fiona to pack up her things and move in with them if she wants to. Fiona doesn’t know what to say after everything she and Xander have been through, admitting she is shocked and honored that he wants her so close by. Maggie calls Fiona an incredible help to Xander, Sarah, and all of them. Maggie decides she will take Victoria home while Fiona collects her things. Fiona calls that a good idea unless she wants her to be there when she breaks the news about Brady. Maggie says she can handle it but notes that there’s always been bad blood between Xander and Brady, so she doesn’t know how Xander is going to react when he hears the news.

Xander brings Sarah her lemon bar and says he texted Maggie about bringing Victoria and moving Fiona in. Sarah thanks him. Xander then gets a call from Jada and asks if she has good news. Jada says she wouldn’t call it that but they have the suspect in custody and he’s admitted to being the driver who hit Sarah. Xander says that’s great and then asks for the bastard’s name.

Marlena questions Holly and Tate spending the whole summer at the Horton Cabin. Tate explains it was the only way they could be together and they are really sorry for deceiving all of them. John asks what Brady had to say about it. Tate says he wasn’t happy obviously but he couldn’t get a good read on him because Brady seemed distracted or troubled by something and then he just took off somewhere and left. Tate asks if something is going on with Brady that he should know about. John gets a call from his contact Larry which shocks him.

Fiona goes to her room at the Salem Inn and begins packing her things. Fiona thinks back to sleeping with Brady there. Fiona states that Brady doesn’t deserve this but questions what she can do. Fiona then declares that maybe it’s time she tells the truth.

Justin argues that Brady doesn’t have any memories of the actual incident, only the before and after. Brady says that’s right but insists that it had to of been him because there was damage on the car and they had a partial plate that matches his. Brady says even though he can’t remember specifically what happened but he has a vague memory of screeching tires playing nonstop in his head. Justin understands but advises him to reconsider making a full confession. Brady repeats that he already told him what happened. Justin shouts that Brady talked and now he’s going to listen. Justin advises Brady to tell them only his recollection of the facts and nothing more. Justin says the police know what evidence they have, so there is no sense of adding to the case. Justin doesn’t want Brady admitting guilt because that’s for a jury to decide, if it comes to that. Brady knows Justin is doing his job as a lawyer but he doesn’t see any point in fighting this and he doesn’t want to because what he did to Sarah was inexcusable and he needs to make things right.

Maggie brings Victoria home to the Kiriakis Mansion and tells Sarah that she’s so glad she’s out of the hospital and that she decided to move back in as she feels much better having her close by. Maggie mentions that Victoria is asleep and then informs Sarah that she has pretty shocking news to share with her. Sarah reveals that Jada already called, so she knows the driver was Brady. Sarah says she couldn’t believe it and questions how could he. Maggie says she can’t believe it either but it appears to be true as Justin is already at the police station with him. Maggie asks how Xander took it. Sarah says as well as you’d expect. Maggie wants to speak with Xander and asks where he is.

Xander storms in to the police station and asks Jada where Brady is. Jada informs him that he’s in with his lawyer. Xander wants to confront him but Jada stops him and says she can’t let that happen, telling Xander that she needs him to go home and let her handle this as his wife needs him. Xander questions how Brady could just hit Sarah and drive off. Jada says all those questions will be answered in time. Xander then stops and asks if that addict is off the wagon again. Jada confirms he had been drinking that night. Jada suggests they go talk about it in her office but Xander refuses and bursts in to the interrogation room. Xander then shouts that he’s going to kill Brady and begins choking him while Justin yells for him to stop.

John thanks Larry for the heads up as he finishes the call. Marlena asks John what it is. John reveals his buddy at the police department had some intel to share with him. John announces they got the driver who hit Sarah. Holly asks who it is while Tate asks if it’s someone they know. John then reveals that it’s Brady.

Holly tells Tate that they are so lucky that Mark agreed to keep his secret. Tate agrees, especially since they both have family who work there. Holly suggests they not press their luck and get Tate back to the cabin before anyone sees them, but they then run in to Brady at the hospital. Brady questions the crutches and begins asking if it happened at camp and why the camp didn’t contact him to tell him they were sending Tate home. Brady then questions what Holly is doing there. Tate then admits that it didn’t happen at camp, so Brady questions where it happened. Tate reveals he was on Smith Island.

Sarah calls Xander from her hospital room, leaving a message wondering where he is since it couldn’t have taken this long to check on Victoria. Sarah hangs up and tells Maggie that she thought Xander would be back by now. Maggie jokes that she’s there but understands Sarah misses her husband and daughter. Sarah adds that she’s also worried about Xander because he feels helpless seeing her this way and since he can’t do anything for her, he’s fixated on finding the person who hit her and is obsessed with it.

Xander questions Jada having a suspect. Jada says she’s sorry but she’s not at liberty to say who it is. Xander argues that they have a right to know. Jada says they will when they make an arrest. Xander complains that the monster left Sarah to die in the street. Jada repeats that she’s sorry but she’s not going to discuss this with him any further. Xander grabs her and says that she will.

Marlena goes home and thinks back to Jada telling her about Brady’s car being stolen.

At the DiMera Mansion, Kristen finishes a phone call in the living room. Kristen tells the portrait of Stefano that the mission has been accomplished as Brady’s car is now as flat as a pancake. Kristen asks what choice she had and says she knows Stefano wasn’t a fan of Brady but he is the father of her child, so she did what she had to do to protect her family. EJ then walks in and questions what she did to protect her family. Kristen claims it’s that she had to fire Ava from the family business for political reasons because Gabi learned that Ava slept with Stefan while she was in prison, so Gabi gave her an ultimatum of relieving Ava from her duties or she would find another buyer for Gabi Chic. Kristen says she couldn’t allow that since they put a lot in to the relaunch and it’s the centerpiece of her new corporate strategy. EJ remarks that he would’ve sacked both of them. Kristen says it’s not up to him. Kristen knows Stefano detested Gabi and she does too but her family legacy means everything to her, so she will do whatever it takes to protect it. EJ doesn’t think so and senses that Kristen is selling him a bill of goods. EJ asks Kristen what’s really going on.

John comes home to Marlena. She asks about his visit with his dad. John says it was great and asks about her message that she wanted to talk about something. John asks if everything is okay but Marlena says not really.

Brady questions what Tate was doing at Smith Island. Tate reveals that he never actually went to camp and he was staying at the Horton Cabin. Brady questions why in God’s name he would do something like that. Tate admits it was so he could spend time with Holly without anyone interrupting. Brady questions Tate lying to him all summer about this, which he admits.

Maggie tells Sarah that she’s been thinking lately about the car accident that killed her parents and part of her wished she died with them. Sarah mentions that she never told her that. Maggie says she wasn’t always brave Maggie facing adversity with courage as she was grieving and scared. Maggie tells Sarah that it’s okay to be angry about what happened to her. Sarah thinks Xander is angry enough for both of them and repeats that she’s worried about what Xander is going to do to the person who ran her over when they find them.

Jada tells Xander that he has every right to be upset and she gets what he’s going through. Xander argues that she has no idea but Jada reminds him that Rafe is lying in a hospital bed, just like Sarah and her heart breaks for both of them. Jada states that she will be the one who will find and arrest the person who hit Sarah, not him. Jada warns Xander to take his hands off of her right now. Xander apologizes and doesn’t know what came over him. Jada gets that he’s worried about Sarah, but every time he raises Hell over the investigation, that’s more time she has to deal with him instead of doing her job. Jada adds that she will let him know as soon as she gets something concrete. Xander thanks her but asks if she can at least say what they are waiting for. Jada says she has to wait for the district attorney before she can proceed, but he will know something soon. Jada repeats that she knows what he’s going through in feeling helpless when the love of your life is in a hospital bed. Jada tells Xander to go be with Sarah as she needs him.

Sarah asks how Maggie dealt with it when she found out she couldn’t walk. Maggie recalls waking up in the hospital and the doctor informing her that her parents didn’t make it. Maggie says when she came to her senses, she felt like she owed it to her parents to keep the farm running. Maggie adds that it wasn’t easy but she knew she had to figure it out. Maggie remembers being on crutches at a graduation party and reminding herself that even if she couldn’t get on the dance floor, she could still dance in her heart. Maggie says if she was never able to walk again, she still would’ve had a very good and full life. Maggie hugs Sarah and encourages her not to give up because no matter how her recovery goes, she’s still a wonderful doctor, mother, wife, and daughter. Maggie admits some things may be harder, but she knows Sarah will remember how much she truly has to be grateful for. Sarah cries that she is grateful to feel so loved by Maggie, Xander, and Victoria as that means everything to her.

EJ feels that was a shockingly unconvincing story from Kristen. Kristen says if he doesn’t believe it, he can run it by Gabi. EJ admits it’s none of his business but advises Kristen that if she doesn’t want people poking around her closet for skeletons, she shouldn’t be so forthcoming with the portrait of Stefano about her secrets out loud. EJ adds that he’s sure Stefano knows all already.

Brady doesn’t understand since Holly has been here in Salem all summer. Holly admits she’s been sneaking up to the cabin to see Tate whenever she can. Brady questions them just visiting and asks for a private word with his son so Holly steps away. Tate knows Brady is disappointed him and says he’s sorry but he really cares about Holly. Tate says this isn’t just some fling and he couldn’t stand to be away from Holly just because Theresa was being crazy. Brady stops Tate, who asks how much trouble he’s in.

Marlena informs John of Brady’s car being stolen right out of their garage. John asks how he took the news. Marlena doesn’t know as he didn’t tell them. John asks when this happened. Marlena explains that she ran in to Jada, who was trying to figure out a timeline. John questions Brady not just telling her how and when it happened. John wonders why the active police commissioner would be involved in a run of the mill car theft, guessing it has to be connected to something bigger, like maybe Sarah’s hit and run. Marlena asks if John thinks that Brady could’ve been involved in Sarah’s accident. John prays he’s wrong but says something isn’t acting up, questioning why Brady wouldn’t say a word about his car being stolen. Marlena informs him that Brady did tell Kristen as she bumped in to her. John questions why unless he wanted to get rid of the evidence by making the car disappear as that sort of thing is in Kristen’s wheelhouse. Marlena suggests not getting ahead of themselves. Marlena adds that when she told Brady about Sarah’s accident, he was shocked and horrified. Marlena argues that Brady is a good man, so if he would’ve hit her, he never would’ve left her there. John agrees that he wouldn’t, unless he had been drinking.

Brady sits with Tate and questions that he’s been shelling out money for Aaron for the entire summer. Tate argues that he knew he didn’t want to go to camp and at least Aaron was getting something out of it. Brady brings up Tate coming back to see Theresa, he was just coming across the ferry and not flying back from New York. Tate argues that when Nicole had left town, he was this close to telling Brady the truth but he got the vibe that he didn’t want him to come home. Brady calls that so not true. Tate states that he left because Brady told him to and he had to keep the lie going because he thought he would go ballistic on him. Tate asks if Brady’s never lied because he was scared of how someone would react. Brady then thinks back to Kristen telling him about getting rid of his car. Tate asks Brady where he went just now. Xander then arrives at the hospital and sees them.

Sarah tells Maggie that she just hopes to be half the mom that she is. Maggie encourages that she’s a wonderful mother. Sarah asks how she will be able to now. Sarah cries about how Victoria needs to be held so much right now and questions how she will be able to keep up with her. Maggie promises that she will find a way. Holly enters the room and hopes she’s not interrupting. Sarah says it’s okay as Holly hugs Maggie. Sarah says she’s very lucky to get two visits in one day. Holly reveals that she came because she has something to tell her. Maggie asks what it is. Holly brings up saying she had plans with a friend tonight but reveals that was a lie as she was going to see Tate. Maggie questions if she means in New York but Holly reveals they were on Smith Island, explaining that Tate never went to New York and that Aaron went to camp in his place so they could spend time together at the Horton Cabin this whole time. Maggie asks if Tate broke in but Holly reveals that she took Maggie’s key and let him in. Holly apologizes for lying to her. Maggie says she understands and says she knew she saw the key the other day. Holly explains that she put it back but Tate locked himself out so she had to borrow it again and she’s really sorry for lying to everyone. Maggie realizes that’s why she couldn’t find the key the other night. Holly asks what night she’s talking about.

Kristen asks if EJ has nothing better to do than standing around to cross examine her, like sorting through a filing cabinet. EJ responds that he has plenty of things he could be doing, but he happened to overhear her talking to a portrait about plotting and scheming so he couldn’t help himself and his interest is piqued. Kristen claims she wasn’t plotting or scheming. EJ adds that she already has the CEO position at DiMera, so he wonders what else Kristen wants that she doesn’t have. EJ then says he knows it’s Brady Black. Jada arrives and hopes she’s not interrupting as the butler let her in. Kristen greets Jada. Jada says she needs to talk to EJ about Sarah’s case so Kristen exits. EJ asks Jada if there are new developments. Jada confirms she has a suspect and is looking for his advice on how to proceed as she has a partial license plate that links to a gray car registered in Salem which also matches the description from the scene of the accident. EJ asks about the forensics evidence. Jada says the problem is that they can’t compare the paint because the vehicle has vanished. EJ questions how a vehicle can just vanish. Jada says that the suspect stated the car was stolen but he didn’t report it which EJ questions. Jada adds that he claimed the car was stolen before the accident but she has an eye witness who says she saw the car parked in the wrong spot on the night of the accident. EJ calls it a lot of circumstantial evidence that is compelling but no absolute proof. Jada adds that without the car, they likely never will have absolute proof. Jada then asks EJ if he’s ready to indict based off what they have.

John asks Marlena if she thinks Brady could be struggling with his sobriety. Marlena admits that while John was in Greece, she had a few concerns which John questions. Marlena says she knew Brady was having a hard time dealing with the Theresa business, but he’s a grown man so she didn’t feel like she could talk to him about it, but she asked Paul how Brady was doing and Paul said that Brady admitted he was struggling and that he had upped his meetings and spent a lot more time with his sponsor. John asks Marlena what her gut tells her. Marlena tries not to jump to conclusions, especially after the last time when Eric drove drunk. Marlena says she should’ve learned from that and sat Brady down to have a serious talk with him before it was too late.

Xander is surprised to see Tate as he thought he was out of town for the summer. Tate says he was but now he’s back. Tate adds that he heard what happened to Sarah and he’s sorry. Xander thanks him. Tate hopes they find whoever did it and give them exactly what they deserve. Xander says the good news is that the police may have a suspect, so he hopes they nail the son of a bitch to the wall.

EJ asks if Jada is going to tell him who the suspect is. Jada asks if matters. EJ says it might, while Kristen listens in from outside the door. Jada reveals that it’s Brady Black, so EJ tells her to arrest him.

Holly asks Maggie again what night she’s talking about. Maggie explains that Sarah and Xander were planning to spend their wedding night at the Horton Cabin. Holly says she didn’t know. Sarah says it’s okay as it was very last minute. Holly asks why they didn’t go. Maggie explains that she couldn’t find the key, so Sarah was coming to help her look for it. Holly then realizes that was the night that Sarah was hit by the car and that she was on her way to Maggie’s because she took the key. Holly then declares that what happened to Sarah is all her fault. Sarah assures that it’s not her fault as she had no way of knowing what would happen. Holly cries that if she and Tate weren’t sneaking around then Sarah would be fine. Holly decides she shouldn’t be here and runs out of the room despite their attempts to stop her as Xander enters and questions what that was all about.

Jada senses EJ has some type of bad blood with Brady. EJ says their families go back generations but claims their history has nothing to do with his legal assessment of the case. EJ adds that what Jada told him, he believes they could win a conviction. EJ instructs Jada to go find Brady and read him his rights, so Jada says she will do that. Jada exits the living room and runs in to Kristen, who asks if she has any leads. Jada thinks Kristen knows the answer to that because she knows she was eavesdropping the whole time. Kristen says she can’t blame her for being curious. Jada brings up Brady being Rachel’s father and asks if she knows anything but Kristen quickly says she doesn’t and walks away.

John tells Marlena that she is not in any way responsible for what happened. John says that if Brady is responsible for this hit and run, then he will just have to man up and own it. Marlena says she knows, but he hasn’t done that yet. John decides that’s why he will have to confront him. John states that Brady is his son, so he will know if he’s lying or telling the truth.

Tate says to Brady that it’s crazy what happened to Sarah and questions what kind of person would just hit her and keep going, saying they’d have to be some kind of psychopath to do that. Tate adds that he’s just glad they have a suspect. Tate asks if Brady heard what he said. Brady apologizes and says he’s just been distracted, but thinks Tate is trying to change the subject. Tate asks if he wants another apology and talks about how Theresa was the one who was militant against he and Holly while Brady just went along with it and even said he’d consider letting them date when the school year started and it’s about to start. Tate adds that he and Holly spent the whole summer together and nothing bad happened. Tate declares that he’s sorry about lying about lacrosse camp and about Smith Island. Tate asks if Brady remembers being in high school and says he’ll take any other punishment, but asks him not to keep he and Holly apart. Brady then gets a text from Kristen that the police are about to arrest him and tells him to run. Tate tells Brady to put himself in his shoes. Brady asks what he means by that. Tate asks if Brady is okay as he looks like he just saw a ghost. Brady claims he’s alright and asks Tate to have Holly take him home because something came up and there’s something he has to do. Brady instructs Tate to take care of his ankle and rushes off, leaving Tate confused. Tate sits back down as Holly joins him. Tate thanks her for letting he and Brady talk. Tate thought he was getting through to him but then he started acting really weird, like his brain was somewhere else, so he has no idea if he’s in trouble or not. Tate then asks Holly if she’s okay. Holly responds that it’s their fault and declares that Sarah was in the accident because of them.

Xander tells Sarah and Maggie that he’s not going to blame Holly and he’d love to go scorched earth but the only person to blame for the accident is the driver. Sarah agrees and asks Xander why he was gone so long as she started to worry something had gone wrong. Xander responds something actually went right as he ran in to Jada in the town square. Sarah asks if there’s any news. Xander says it’s good news as the police have a prime suspect in the hit and run. Sarah asks who it is but Xander says Jada wouldn’t tell him.

Kristen rejoins EJ in the living room and asks what Jada wanted. EJ says she just wanted to see if he would give her the go ahead to arrest the suspect in Sarah’s hit and run case. Kristen asks if he did. EJ responds that he did and it just so happens that the suspect is Brady, so something tells him that Kristen knew exactly what was going on.

John calls Brady and leaves a message, asking him to call him as there’s something he wants to talk to him about.

Jada goes to the police station and calls for two officers to execute the arrest in Sarah’s hit and run but Brady arrives and tells Jada that there’s no need for that as he’s here.

Update written by Joseph

At the Horton Cabin on Smith Island, Holly questions Tate as to what she just walked in on. Tate insists it was nothing while Holly points out that Tate and Sophia were both half naked. Tate explains that he had just woken up and that Sophia just showed up at the door and came on to him, assuring her that it was weird and lame. Holly argues that she feels if she didn’t show up when she did, they wouldn’t have been half naked for long. Tate assures her that he totally shut Sophia down and that he only wants to be with Holly. Tate asks if she believes him.

Brady questions why Jada needs to see his car. Jada says it’s to determine whether he was the driver who hit Sarah.

Chad looks at a photo of he and Abigail in the bedroom until Kristen comes in and greets him, saying she heard about everything going on. Chad guesses news travels fast. Kristen asks where the woman who claims to be Abigail is.

“Abigail” goes to the park and pulls out her phone. She sends a text that she doesn’t see them and asks where the hell they are. Dr. Mark Green then appears and tells her to relax as he’s right there as they then embrace.

Holly questions Tate wanting her to believe that Sophia showed up uninvited and took a ferry all the way there and that he just shut her down. Tate confirms that and wishes he turned her down sooner, but he was shocked and promised he was totally turned off but she wouldn’t accept that. Holly assures that she believes him and that she could tell by the look on Sophia’s face that he shut her down and she also trusts him. Tate thanks her and says he’s relieved because it must have been weird to walk in on that. Holly says it was no fun and suggests he could reassure her that she’s the only girl he wants. Tate responds that he would love to as they kiss. Holly says she’s really glad to see him. Tate asks about Sarah. Holly says she’s doing okay but she feels really horrible, asking what kind of person hits someone with a car and drives away like that. Tate says it would have to be a horrible person with no conscience. Holly hopes the police catch that horrible person soon.

Fiona watches over Victoria in her room at the Salem Inn. Fiona tells Victoria to play by herself while she takes a little break. Fiona approaches her bottle of vodka but Xander knocks on the door so Fiona hides the bottle under the bed and answers the door. Fiona asks how Sarah is. Xander says she’s holding up and Maggie is with her now, so he just wanted to check on Victoria. Fiona says he didn’t have to since she told him she’d watch her. Xander says he just needed to see his daughter. Fiona says she’s been an angel and asks how Xander is holding up. Xander responds that he’ll be better when the police arrest the driver who nearly killed his wife.

Brady questions why Jada would think his car was involved in the accident. Jada says they have evidence that it was a late era gray sedan and a partial license plate. Brady tries to argue but Jada says they need to see it now. Brady thinks back to his car disappearing from the parking garage. Brady then tells Jada that he wishes he could show her his car but it’s not here as it was stolen.

Chad tells Kristen that the woman doesn’t claim to be Abigail, she is Abigail, and that he and Jack found her. Kristen asks where she is. Chad says she went for a walk to think because this is all a lot for her. Kristen understands she can’t remember anything about her life. Chad says not until today when she remembered Clyde coming in to the room and stabbing her. Kristen asks if Chad is sure that’s a real memory

Mark asks how “Abigail” is. She responds that she’s stressed out as she just left Chad and told him that she had a memory because she had to give him something. She complains about the DiMera Mansion feeling like everyone is staring at her at all times including the portrait of Stefano. She adds that at least Jack and Jennifer went back to Boston so it’s at least two less eyes on her, but there’s so many DiMeras in the house and she knows that they are just expecting her to morph in to the Abigail of old. She talks about how Chad is doing his best, so she had to throw him a bone by telling him that she remembered the night of Abigail’s murder.

Tate and Holly still can’t believe what happened to Sarah. Holly informs Tate that Aaron’s brother Mark came to see Sarah while she was there and mentioned the camp’s Instagram page putting up a photo of Aaron but labeling it as Tate Black. Tate questions if that means Mark knows that Aaron is pretending to be him. Holly doesn’t think so and says it freaked her out but she doesn’t think that Mark is suspicious. Holly adds that Mark was super concerned about Sarah because she’s not just his colleague but his friend too. Tate brings up that Mark pretty much raised his siblings Aaron and Felicity since their parents died. Holly can’t imagine what it must be like to parent siblings and be a doctor, calling Mark a great guy.

Mark tells “Abigail” that she did the right thing. She worries that now she’s going to have to continue to remember parts of her life if they are going to have everyone believe that she is Abigail DiMera. Mark feels they have a lot of the heavy lifting out of the way. She then thanks Mark for fixing the DNA test.

Chad assures Kristen that it was a real memory since “Abigail” described it to him. Kristen argues that it’s public knowledge and only Clyde could dispute what happened and he’s in prison. Chad tells Kristen to just say what she’s insinuating. Kristen says she doesn’t have an agenda and she’s just looking out for her brother. Chad complains that she’s not helping and tells her to go back to work. Kristen argues about “Abigail” having a different face and amnesia but everyone’s so thrilled to have Abigail back that they buy it. Kristen questions how he knows she’s not a fraud.

Fiona tells Xander that they will all feel better when the driver is caught and asks if the police have any leads since he said the investigation had stalled. Xander reveals there has actually been a breakthrough as he just got an update from Jada that the police have a partial license plate, so with any luck, they will soon find the person that did this.

Jada questions Brady saying his car was stolen and when this happened. Brady says it was a few days ago. Jada asks if it was before, on, or after the 14th, the night of Sarah’s accident. Brady claims it was before as it was that morning because he had a big meeting at Basic Black and he missed it because he was late. Jada asks where his car disappeared from. Brady says it was in the parking garage downstairs. Jada says only one car they are checking was reported stolen and it wasn’t his. Brady then admits he did not report it. Jada doesn’t understand Brady not reporting his car was stolen and just going about his day. Brady knows it’s not the wisest thing to do but he’s been slammed at work and had to cover for Xander at Titan, so he’s had some long nights. Jada calls grand theft auto a serious crime and questions not reporting it. Brady knows it was silly and apologizes. Jada thinks it’s very possible that the person who stole his car is the same person that hit Sarah.

Fiona asks Xander if the police might be resolving the case. Xander says it would be such a relief and notes that while it wouldn’t do anything for Sarah’s condition, he wants the bastard caught so badly. Xander talks about how he can’t stop picturing the driver hitting Sarah and then just moving on, not caring if she was dead or alive. Fiona asks about Sarah’s condition being reversible. Xander states that it might not be. Xander points out that Sarah is a doctor, so she knows there’s a good chance she will never walk again. Fiona asks if that will make a difference to him as she wonders if it might change the way he feels about Sarah or the life they planned together. Xander says of course not and asks why she would even ask that. Xander declares that he’s the luckiest man in the world to even have Sarah in his life and he loves her more than anything, so nothing will change that. Xander adds that if anything changed, it’s that he’s not sure she’s lucky to have him since he hasn’t been the most reliable person while now they have a daughter to raise with Sarah adapting to a new way of life. Xander worries about not being the man Sarah needs him to be. Fiona knows it will be a heavy burden but encourages that he’s strong enough. Fiona adds that she’s here now to help him with anything he needs. Fiona declares after what she’s done, she really needs to help him. Xander questions what she’s talking about.

Jada tells Brady that it’s not too late to report it as he just needs to go to the police station and speak to a detective. Brady says he will but Jada urges him to do it now as part of the investigation in to Sarah’s hit and run. Brady agrees to do it and apologizes for not doing it sooner. Jada says she won’t take up more of his time as she exits.

Tate repeats to Holly that she’s the only one he wants. Holly suggests they go swimming so they go to get changed.

Chad tells Kristen that there’s no fraud as there was a DNA test with a match, so it’s Abigail. Kristen apologizes and says she’s just trying to protect him because he’s been through so much and she would hate for him to get hurt again. Chad thanks her. Kristen says she will see them later and exits the room. Chad looks back at the framed photo of he and Abigail.

“Abigail” tells Mark that it worked like a charm since as soon as the DNA results were in, Chad had no doubt that she was his dead wife. She adds that she was just grateful that Mark was in right place at the right time. Mark calls it easy if you know what you’re doing. Mark declares that the only way someone will find out she’s not Abigail DiMera is if they give her another DNA test. She remarks that they make a good team. Mark declares that they now need to talk about the next steps to their plan.

Fiona tells Xander it’s not what she’s done but what she hasn’t done in all those years not being there for him. Fiona blames that for being how Xander feels because he didn’t have her support for all those years, but he does now. Xander says he’s grateful for that. Fiona promises to make up for all those missed years as they hug.

Jada takes photos of the parking garage. Marlena arrives and asks what’s going on. Jada informs her that Brady told her that his car was stolen which shocks her. Jada questions Brady not mentioning that to her. Marlena says no and asks when that happened. Jada says she’s trying to figure that out and asks when Marlena last saw it. Marlena remembers seeing it the other night as Brady had parked in her parking spot. Jada asks when that was. Marlena says it would’ve been the night of the 14th..

Brady paces inside until Kristen shows up at the door, saying she needs to talk to him. Brady brings her in and says he doesn’t have the patience or the time. Kristen says it’s about his car as she supposes he’s wondering where it is. Brady asks how she knew it was missing. Kristen then reveals that she’s the one who took it.

Holly helps Tate back in to the cabin after he fell on the beach when they went swimming. Tate tries to say he’s fine but Holly wants to take him to the hospital. Tate argues that he’s not supposed to be in Salem and worries about someone seeing him but Holly assures that they will be stealthy, so they exit the cabin together.

“Abigail” doesn’t feel comfortable talking about this where everyone can see but agrees they need to talk about what’s next. Chad then approaches and says he was worried about her being out alone but sees that she’s not. She claims that she was asking Mark for directions because she got lost. Mark says he’s so glad her friend found her. Chad thanks him for his help as he walks away. Chad asks how she’s doing. She says she’s better now and just needed to clear her head. Chad guesses that memory must have been upsetting. She says she’s happy that she’s starting to remember. Chad thinks she will remember more. Chad suggests if they talk more about what she did remember, it might help spark something.

Xander tells Fiona that he should get back to the hospital. Xander tells Victoria that he will see her later and thanks Fiona again for watching her. Xander says he’s glad Fiona is here because she really is helping. Fiona says she’s so grateful to Xander and Sarah for welcoming her in to their lives. Xander then exits the room. Fiona then retrieves her bottle of vodka from under the bed.

Jada asks Marlena about Brady parking in her spot on the night of the 14th which she confirms. Jada asks if she or John saw Brady that night. Marlena says no and guesses he had gone to bed before they came in. Marlena adds that she asked Brady about it the next morning and he just said somebody else had parked in his space. Marlena asks why she has all these questions since it clearly happened before Brady’s car was stolen. Jada says she’s just putting together a timeline for the investigation and thanks her for her help as she exits.

Brady questions Kristen taking his car. Kristen guesses he’s too dense to figure it out but she found out that the car in Sarah’s hit and run was gray and she remembered Brady was a mess that morning when she came in, so she went to the garage and saw the damage on the front end which made her realize he must have been the one who hit Sarah, so she got rid of the evidence. Brady can’t believe it and asks why she would do that. Kristen responds that she did it for their daughter because it would kill her to see him in prison for a drunken hit and run as she assumes he was drinking that night. Brady admits he doesn’t remember the accident as he woke up in the car. Kristen says it doesn’t matter because the car is gone. Brady asks if she’s sure because Jada was just there asking questions and said they have a partial plate. Kristen asks what he told her. Brady admits he didn’t know what to tell her so he told her the car was stolen. Kristen points out that as far as he knew, it was. Brady remarks that now he knows who stole it. Kristen calls that insignificant, pointing out that without the car, Jada has nothing. Kristen advises Brady to stay calm and do what he normally does. Brady questions what someone normally does after running down a member of their own family. Kristen suggests he go to the hospital and offer his kindness while acting like nothing is wrong. Brady complains that he can’t act like nothing wrong because Sarah’s paralyzed and it’s his fault. Kristen points out that Sarah’s alive and where there’s life, there’s hope which Brady mocks. Kristen says she’s just trying to get him to drop his guilt and self pity as what’s done is done. Kristen adds that she doesn’t know what Theresa did to have Brady fall off the wagon, but it’s not worth throwing his life away. Kristen tells Brady that their daughter needs him so he needs to get sober and get his life together. Kristen tells Brady that she’s there for him and will help him. Brady thanks her. Kristen repeats that she’s doing this for their daughter.

Holly gets Tate set up in a hospital room and says that Kayla’s in surgery while Sarah is a patient so they won’t have to worry about them seeing him. Mark then walks in and questions if it was a lacrosse accident but the camp is supposed to be in upstate New York. Tate calls it a long story. Mark says he has time. Tate and Holly then explain that Aaron took Tate’s spot in camp so that he and Holly could spend the summer together, adding that Brady doesn’t know Tate is back in town yet. They argue that Aaron is getting a free camp out of it and loves it there so it’s basically a win-win for everyone. Tate know it’s a lot but asks Mark not to tell anyone that he was here. Mark questions him wanting him to lie.

“Abigail” questions Chad wanting to know what color robe she was wearing when she got stabbed. Chad thinks it could help spark some more memories. She questions where this is coming from and if he doesn’t believe the memory she had was real. Chad says he believes it was real but admits that Kristen put this idea in his head that a lot of people could’ve known what happened that night since it was all over the news. She then questions him not thinking she’s really Abigail and that she’s been lying to him. Chad says it’s not that. She then complains that he came looking for her and that she trusted him enough to come back with him and take a DNA test. Chad apologizes. She claims she’s doing the best she can to be the wife he remembers but if that’s not good enough for him, they can call off the whole thing and she can head back to Poplar Bluff now.

Mark tells Tate that it’s just a bad sprain so he’ll get him some crutches and he’ll be healed in a couple days. Tate thanks him but points out that he never answered if he’s going to tell anyone that he skipped lacrosse camp and came back to Salem. Mark responds that he came here for medical help so as his doctor, he’s not allowed to discuss anything without his consent, including where he got treated. Mark remarks that he won’t have to worry because he’s more than capable of keeping a secret…

Chad doesn’t want “Abigail” to go back to Poplar Bluff and insists that he believes she is Abigail, but he thinks the stress of the last few days is starting to get to him, so he listened to Kristen. Chad repeats that he really doesn’t want her to leave and says it doesn’t matter what she looks like or what she remembers as he’s really happy she’s here with him. Chad asks her to just come home with him which she agrees to do so they leave the park together.

Marlena calls John from the parking garage and leaves a message, saying she hoped to talk to him about something but it will have to wait until she sees him. After hanging up, Marlena sees Kristen leaving, who says she just came to see Brady and heard his car was stolen. Marlena says she just found out as well. Kristen remarks that she guesses Salem isn’t as safe as it used to be and that she hopes they catch who did it. Kristen tells Marlena that she will see her later and walks on.

Fiona sits staring at her bottle of vodka and declares she’s done with that now as she then drops the bottle into the trash can and declares that she’s going to be the mother that Xander needs her to be.

Xander runs in to Jada in the town square. Jada says she was just on her way to find him. Xander mentions heading to the hospital as he was just checking on Victoria with Fiona. Xander asks if there is news. Jada reveals they have a suspect in Sarah’s hit and run.

Holly tells Tate that they are so lucky that Mark agreed to keep his secret. Tate agrees, especially since they both have family who work there. Holly suggests they not press their luck and get Tate back to the cabin before anyone sees them, but they then run in to Brady at the hospital.

Update written by Joseph

Tate is at the Horton Cabin on Smith Island when Sophia shows up at the door, surprising him as she asks if he was expecting someone else.

Holly visits Sarah in the hospital, bringing her donuts from the bakery. Holly asks how she’s doing. Sarah responds that she’s alright, all things considered, and she’s actually worried about Xander because he’s not handling the whole situation very well. Holly is sure he’s just hurting for her. Sarah talks about Xander’s anger and frustration that he can’t do anything about it, so she’s worried that he might take it out on the wrong person.

Jada is on the phone in the police commissioner’s office when Xander storms in to confront her, questioning why she’s sitting behind her desk instead of being out there trying to find who was behind the hit and run on Sarah. Jada hangs up and tells Xander that she understands he’s upset about what happened but that doesn’t give him the right to barge in to her office. Xander tells her to spare him the lecture and asks her to explain why she hasn’t arrested the son of a bitch who mowed down his wife.

Brady paces at home, urging himself to think. Brady thinks back to going to the garage with Fiona, only to find his car was gone. Brady then wonders what the hell happened to his car. Brady gets a call from Maggie and asks if there’s any news on Sarah’s condition. Maggie responds that it isn’t good news as she informs Brady that Sarah is paralyzed.

“Abigail” is frustrated in her bedroom at the DiMera Mansion as she grabs her phone and makes a call, declaring that she doesn’t think she can do this anymore. She says they don’t need to remind her what’s at stake as she’s well aware but complains that it’s a lot harder than she thought it was going to be. Abigail talks about living in the house with Chad and his brothers that she apparently slept with and they are all waiting for her to remember her old life. Abigail talks about the way Chad looks at her and says he’s been patient and understanding but wonders how long that will last. Chad then knocks on her door and asks if she’s awake.

Brady tells Maggie that he’s so sorry and asks if Sarah’s paralysis is permanent. Maggie responds that they don’t know yet and are hopeful that she could regain the use of her legs but there is no guarantee. Brady asks what he can do. Maggie tells him to just pray for Sarah’s recovery and that the police find whoever did this and brings them to justice.

Xander questions if Jada has even lifted a finger or if she’s just enjoying Rafe’s job. Jada warns him to watch his tone. Xander wants results and a name. Jada assures that the police are doing everything they can to find the driver. Xander complains that if any of them could do their job, then the monster who paralyzed his wife would already be rotting in jail.

Fiona sits in her room at the Salem Inn and thinks back to Xander informing her of Sarah having no feeling from the waist down. Fiona worries about what she’s done to Sarah as she continues drinking.

Sarah tells Holly about Xander feeling the cops haven’t done enough to find who hit her. Sarah is sure Jada is doing the best she can but she knows Xander won’t stop until they arrest someone, so she hopes he doesn’t get himself locked up in the process. Holly guesses Xander does this kind of thing often. Sarah admits he’s very protective of her which is great most of the time. Holly relates that she would totally freak if someone hurt the person she loves. Sarah asks who that might be.

Tate questions what Sophia is doing at the cabin. Sophia talks about how busy Holly has been with working at the Bistro and her aunt in the hospital, so she thought he might be lonely all by himself and asks what he feels like doing.

Jada questions Xander saying that Sarah is paralyzed. Xander confirms she has no feeling from the waist down. Jada apologizes as she didn’t know. Xander complains that he’s not interested in her apology and tells her to just do her job. Jada promises that it’s her number one priority. Xander argues that it’s been days and they are no closer to knowing who did this. Jada says that’s not true. Xander remarks that he hasn’t seen an arrest. Jada says he didn’t give her a chance to give him the latest news. Xander questions her finding something and asks who it is. Jada informs him that they have a lead on the car that hit Sarah.

Brady goes to Fiona’s room. She asks if he found out what happened with his car. Brady says no as he has more pressing things as he talked to Maggie. Brady questions why Fiona didn’t tell him that Sarah was paralyzed. Fiona says she told him that she had numbness but admits she may have downplayed it. Fiona adds that it’s because she thought it wasn’t permanent and also that she’s really upset about it since Sarah is the mother of her grandchild. Brady understands but says he’s dying here. Fiona tells Brady to calm down. Brady argues that it’s easy for her to say when she’s not the one who might be responsible for Sarah’s paralysis.

Sarah asks Holly if there is someone special and if it’s who she thinks it is. Dr. Mark Green enters, interrupting them, and says he came to check on his favorite colleague. Sarah thanks him and introduces Mark to Holly. Holly says it’s good to see him again, so Sarah questions them knowing each other. Mark explains that Holly went to the prom with his little brother, Aaron, only to leave him halfway through the night which surprises Sarah as Holly says she’s sorry about that. Sarah questions why. Mark asks if Holly wants to tell her or if he should. Holly tells Mark to go for it, so Mark explains to Sarah that apparently, her prom date with his brother was all a ruse because Holly only has eyes for Tate Black.

Tate questions why Sophia would think he’d want to hang out with her. Sophia argues that they are friends but Tate argues that a friend wouldn’t go out of her way to gaslight Holly, by trying to make her feel bad that they haven’t had sex yet. Sophia says she was just surprised considering the amount of time they’ve spent together alone and that it must be frustrating for Tate. Tate says he’s fine. Sophia argues that she’s talked to a lot of guys who said teasing like that can get uncomfortable. Tate states that Holly isn’t teasing him and that those guys are just trying to get in Sophia’s pants. Sophia questions Tate not being like other teenage boys and thinking about sex all the time. Tate says he’s not, but Sophia points out his underwear which Tate argues is not happening because of her and asks her to stop. Sophia tells Tate that she can’t just leave him alone with all of that pent up sexual energy.

Abigail says she has to go and hangs up before Chad enters the room and brings her coffee. Chad asks how she slept. Abigail says pretty well. Chad admits he was a little worried about her being alone in the room where she was murdered. Abigail tells Chad that it’s okay as she survived. She asks if it’s hard for him to be in the room. Chad admits that it is. Abigail talks about thinking of Clyde coming in with the knife then stops. Chad asks if she’s okay as Abigail suddenly says she thinks she’s remembering. Chad questions what she remembers from that night. Abigail recalls being on the bed with Clyde coming in and saying he knew what she had been up to. Chad guesses he was talking about the investigation in to the drug ring and asks her what happened next. Abigail tells Chad that Clyde started walking towards her and then took out the knife. Abigail starts to panic so Chad stops her and says it’s too painful so they are done. Abigail tells Chad that the memory was right there but it’s gone. Chad hugs her and calls it a huge breakthrough as it’s the first thing she remembered which means the Abigail he knew is still in there. Chad calls it huge that her memories are coming back.

Sophia asks Tate if she’s making him uncomfortable. Tate says she is because he doesn’t want this as he loves Holly. Sophia asks who said anything about love. Tate asks her to just relax, so Sophia removes her robe and moves closer to Tate.

Sarah questions Holly pretending to go to prom with Aaron to spend time with Tate. Holly says that it’s not like she dumped Aaron since he was in on it and then Tate’s parents busted them anyway. Mark calls that the reason why Tate and Aaron are off at lacrosse camp together because Brady and Theresa thought Holly and Tate could use some distance. Sarah bets Nicole’s not complaining either. Mark brings up seeing the camp’s Instagram posting photos from the camp and says he saw a picture of Aaron but weirdly, his photo was captioned as Tate Black.

Xander questions if Jada found the car that hit Sarah. Jada says not yet but they found footage of a partial license plate, so they are working on tracking it down. Xander offers to get the Titan security team on it as well but Jada says she’s not going to do that, reminding him that it’s a police investigation so she’s not about to have him interfere with that. Xander argues that this is his wife. Jada understands but says he needs to let them do their job because the last thing she needs is for him to go around scaring possible suspects. Jada adds that it will take some time and that’s all she’s going to say. Jada tells Xander to go be with Sarah at the hospital. Xander tells her to call as soon as she knows anything. Jada confirms that she will call him as soon as they make an arrest. Xander declares that whoever did this to Sarah better pray that Jada finds them before he does. Xander then exits the office.

Fiona tells Brady that they are not even sure that he hit Sarah. Brady feels it’s looking pretty obvious. Fiona says for all they know, the hit and run driver could’ve taken his car. Brady asks why they would do that. Fiona argues that Brady doesn’t remember anything that happened that night so there’s no use thinking about what he may or may not have done since that’s not going to help Sarah. Fiona pulls out her alcohol and pours Brady a drink, saying it’s to calm his nerves which he accepts. Brady complains that Sarah and Xander just got married and have their whole lives ahead of them. Maggie then arrives with Victoria and knocks on the door, asking if Fiona is inside. Brady tells Fiona that Maggie can’t see him there, so Fiona sends him to the bathroom to hide with the vodka. Fiona then answers the door and claims she was just resting. Maggie hopes she is well rested because she’s on Grandma duty if that’s okay with her because she needs her to watch Victoria while she heads back to the hospital to visit Sarah. Fiona asks if there’s any change. Maggie says there’s no news to report and that Sarah is trying to be brave, but she can only imagine how terrified she must be, thinking of her future with possibly not being able to walk.

Sarah asks Mark if he sees anything in her test results that she and Kayla missed. Mark says he doesn’t but he is optimistic that if anyone can come back from this, it’s Sarah. Holly decides to get going and hugs Sarah. Mark tells Holly it was good to see her and if she runs in to Aaron before he does, to tell the camp photographer to get in touch with the real Tate Black. Holly says she will as she exits the room.

Tate tells Sophia to put her clothes back on but she continues trying to come on to him. Tate tells her to stop because he doesn’t want this. Sophia asks why not and says she won’t tell if he won’t.

Chad doesn’t want to pressure Abigail but asks if there’s anything else she can remember. Abigail says she doesn’t think so and that the memory just came like a flash and then disappeared. Abigail apologizes if he’s disappointed. Chad assures that he’s not and calls it a huge first step, feeling it’s only a matter of time before she starts remembering all the good times they shared together. Chad tells her they shared a lot of good times together as he hugs her. Chad worries that he’s putting too much pressure on her and says he’s sorry for getting impatient. Chad asks if she wants to spend the day together and suggests a ride to the lake after having breakfast. Abigail says that sounds lovely but she thinks she needs a little time alone to process what just happened. Chad says that’s no problem and blames himself for ramping up the pressure. Abigail tells Chad that it makes her hopeful to see the hope on his face. Abigail suggests taking a walk around town. Chad points out that she wouldn’t really know where she’s going. Abigail assures that she will be fine, so Chad asks where she will go. Abigail thinks she will go to the park and says maybe it will jog some memories as she then exits the room.

Maggie tells Fiona that it’s so strange as she thought it was finally Sarah’s time to be happy and settled, but then out of the blue, this random person takes it all away from her and then leaves her there like a coward. Fiona calls it awful and says Maggie must be anxious to get back to the hospital. Maggie thanks her for watching Victoria and says she appreciates it, repeating that she’s so happy that Sarah tracked her down. Maggie calls it a blessing for Xander to have his mother here. Fiona responds that they are all in this together and sends Sarah her love. Brady listens in as Maggie hopes they find the driver too. Maggie then exits the room. Brady comes out from hiding in the bathroom and says that was excruciating to hear how Maggie is suffering about her daughter because he’s most likely the cause of all the pain to begin with. Brady knows they can’t say for sure. Fiona encourages him to just stay the course. Brady asks if she’s sure she’s up for babysitting. Fiona says it will do her some good to spend time with Victoria. Brady decides he will leave her to it. Fiona assures Brady that it’s going to be okay as he exits the room.

Xander brings flowers to Sarah’s hospital room. Sarah introduces Xander to Mark. Mark talks about taking a personal interest in Sarah’s case since she is a friend and tells Xander to feel free to call with any questions or concerns. Mark then exits the room. Xander tells Sarah that she’s always perfect to him and kisses her. Sarah tells Xander about Holly bringing her donuts which Xander says was nice of her. Sarah mentions that Holly gave Xander props for being protective of her and says she would be the same with the person she loves, which she assumes is Tate. Xander questions Holly still pining after Tate. Sarah suggests that with Nicole gone, maybe they’ll get to spend time together when Tate gets back from camp. Xander questions if Sarah thinks that’s a good idea. Sarah says it seems like they like each other. Xander argues that Tate is Theresa’s son so if he inherited half of her miserable traits and Brady, he’s bad news. Xander worries that Tate will break Holly’s heart.

Sophia tells Tate to stop resisting as she can tell he wants this. Sophia jokes that what happens on Smith Island stays on Smith Island. Sophia adds that what Holly doesn’t know won’t hurt them, right as Holly arrives at the cabin and says she’s so wrong about that. Sophia swears it’s not what it looks like. Holly accuses Sophia of trying to make a play for her boyfriend. Sophia argues that she can’t make a claim on a guy that she hasn’t passed first base with. Holly tells her it’s none of her business. Holly calls Sophia a lying skank and tells her to get the hell out. Sophia tells Tate to try not to think of what she could’ve had and reminds Holly not to be late for work as she storms out. Holly then questions Tate as to what she just walked in on.

Xander tells Sarah that Holly could do a lot better than Tate. Sarah jokes about people saying that about Victoria. Xander talks about not letting Victoria date just anyone, vowing to not let anyone or anything hurt Victoria or Sarah ever again. They kiss until Maggie walks in and says that’s what she likes to see. Sarah asks about Victoria. Maggie says she dropped her off with Fiona and asks if there’s any news. Xander says there was an update on the investigation as Jada said they do have a lead from a partial license plate. Xander declares that with any luck, they will soon be knocking on the door of the bastard who put Sarah in the hospital.

Fiona encourages Victoria that Sarah will be home soon, safe and sound, if she can just keep Brady with his conscience from ruining everything.

Brady pours a drink at home but hides it away when Jada shows up at the door. Jada informs Brady that she’s investigating Sarah’s hit and run, so she needs to see his car.

Chad looks at a photo of he and Abigail, saying it won’t be long as she’s finally coming back to him.

“Abigail” goes to the park and pulls out her phone. Abigail sends a text that she doesn’t see them and asks where the hell they are. Dr. Mark Green then appears and tells her to relax as he’s right there.

Update written by Joseph

Chad joins Julie in the living room of the Horton house and talks about getting in to see the kids. Julie asks about Chad taking Jack and Jennifer to the airport. Chad confirms they are on their way back to Boston. Julie mentions that Doug told her the meeting between Jennifer and Abigail didn’t go very well which Chad confirms, calling it a complete disaster that went south the second Jennifer saw Abigail’s face and proclaimed that was not her daughter.

Abigail sits in the living room of the DiMera Mansion while on the phone, saying that Jack and Jennifer are heading back to Boston so she has one less problem to deal with and two less people breathing down her neck. EJ then enters the room and calls out to her.

Gabi is at the DiMera Enterprises office, on the phone complaining about a shipment being lost. Gabi argues that she will have no choice but to find another supplier. Stefan walks in as Gabi remarks that she’s sick and tired of being disappointed by people she thought she could trust.

Ava goes to the Brady Pub where Roman brings her coffee and guesses she had a long day. Roman talks about Ava having a demanding new job working for Kristen DiMera and imagines that Kristen is putting her through the paces, but Ava reveals that she got fired.

Melinda is unconscious on the couch as Connie returns home to her apartment. Connie jokes about Melinda not giving her cardboard cutout of Li any trouble. Connie then declares that Melinda is never going to give anyone any trouble ever again.

Julie questions Jennifer’s reaction to seeing Abigail. Chad calls it surprising since Jennifer knew about the DNA test results and never indicated she was skeptical. Chad adds that he doesn’t blame Jennifer since seeing Abigail with a new face and no memory of them at all is confusing and jarring. Chad says it’s just going to take time for all of them to process this woman being Abigail, but it’s undeniable now since the DNA test proved it’s her. Chad talks about how it will take Jennifer some time to get used to this new version of Abigail, so they thought it was best for her and Jack to go back to Boston. Julie understands that it will take time and put pressure on Abigail. Julie hopes that Abigail will be able to access her wonderful memories of the people who love her. Julie notes that they talked about Jennifer and Abigail, but haven’t said a word about Chad. Julie asks how it’s affecting Chad’s life and how he is doing.

EJ introduces Abigail as her brother in law. EJ talks about hearing of her return with no memory. Abigail mentions meeting Stefan this morning and how it was awkward. EJ says he’s sure it was for many reasons which she questions. EJ states that Chad may be good at hiding it but brings up that Abigail and Stefan slept together.

Gabi calls security to report an intruder in her office but then says it won’t be necessary because he’s no threat and she can handle him. Gabi asks Stefan what the hell he’s doing here. Stefan says he came to see her because they have to talk.

Connie brought large trash bags, rope, a hacksaw, and bleach. Connie remarks that the hardware store had everything she needs to get rid of a body and dispose incriminating evidence. Connie decides that she better get busy. Melinda then moves, startling Connie who exclaims that she’s still alive.

Julie tells Chad that she shares his concern for Jennifer, Abigail, and the whole family but her main concern is him because he lost his wife in such a violent way and all this time later, she appears but doesn’t look the same and has no memory. Julie asks Chad how he’s going to tell Thomas and Charlotte that their mother has returned by they won’t recognize her and she may never get her memory back. Chad admits putting it like that makes him want to crawl in a hole. Julie encourages Chad but asks how he’s keeping it together. Chad feels he has no choice but to be strong for his kids and for Abigail because if he’s uncertain or falling apart, it will just make things more difficult. Julie applauds his strength and admires his unselfishness, adding that he can count on her. Julie declares that she will always be there for him, his children, and Abigail as they hug.

Abigail questions EJ about her sleeping with Stefan. EJ asks if no one thought to mention that to her. Abigail questions if she cheated on Chad with his brother. EJ calls it slightly more complicated since Stefan took advantage of a rather unique situation which is no surprise, since he tends to make very bad decisions and he’s an idiot. EJ adds that everything that happened was entirely Stefan’s fault. Abigail guesses they don’t get along. EJ confirms that Stefan and his wife are not his favorite people and that feeling is entirely mutual.

Gabi tells Stefan they have nothing to talk about. Stefan questions that being it like nothing happened. Gabi complains that her entire world imploded because the man she was crazy in love with was actually a lying dirtbag. Gabi mentions visiting her comatose brother to tell him all about how her husband cheated on her while she was behind bars. Stefan admits that what he did was beyond stupid and the biggest mistake of his entire life. Stefan asks how they can work past it if they can’t even talk about it. Gabi questions him actually thinking they can move past it. Gabi tells Stefan that his little fling with Ava will be on her brain forever so it will never be forgotten or forgiven.

Roman questions Ava as to why Kristen would fire her when she just started. Ava explains that it was more about the personalities in the office. Roman thought Ava and Kristen were friends. Ava says she thought so too, but it was more Gabi’s doing as she threatened to pull Gabi Chic from DiMera if Kristen didn’t get rid of her. Roman questions why Gabi did that and if she just doesn’t want to work with her. Ava calls that an understatement. Roman asks if it’s because of Ava’s history with Rafe. Ava says no and that it has to do with her history with Stefan.

Connie acknowledges that Melinda has a pulse and is still breathing, complaining that it makes no sense since she gave her the same dose that she gave Bobby/Everett and he’s dead, so she questions why it didn’t kill Melinda too. Connie guesses she didn’t drink all of her tea. Connie decides it doesn’t matter and that she will have to finish her off. Connie declares that she can’t give her more tea, so it would be easier to just slit her throat as she picks up her hacksaw. Connie’s vision of Li then appears and tells her not to kill Melinda.

Julie tells Chad that she has enormous faith in him and encourages that they will all get through it. Chad respond that what scares him most is what if Abigail gets her memory back but doesn’t feel the same way and doesn’t love him anymore. Julie urges him not to go down that road. Julie insists that Abigail will get her memory back and she will fall in love with Chad all over again.

Abigail goes over with EJ that Stefan and Gabi kicked him out of his company, so he let Gabi go to a prison for a crime she didn’t commit. EJ clarifies that he didn’t know Gabi was innocent since all the evidence suggested he was guilty. Abigail remarks that it sounds like he’s the idiot brother. EJ laughs and supposes he deserved that. EJ adds that Abigail didn’t always have such a low opinion of him. Abigail laughs and asks if she slept with him too but then realizes that’s not a joke.

Ava informs Roman that she slept with Stefan while they were wasted and going through tough times. Ava talks about being under a lot of pressure while Clyde was threatening Tripp and having her and Stefan run drugs through the Bistro while Harris kept finding them together and getting suspicious, so she felt the only choice was to lie to Harris and tell him that she was dating Stefan. Roman guesses they got a little carried away with the deception. Ava says that’s one way to put it. Ava admits she was lonely and missing Harris while Stefan was missing Gabi. Ava guesses the lie they had been telling became a little too close to the truth, but as soon as it was over they both regretted it, realized it was a huge mistake, and vowed to never do it again. Ava says they both decided no one else needed to know and swore to take it to their graves.

Stefan realizes that he and Gabi may not ever totally get past this and that it’s not something she will forget, but he hoped that he could get her to understand that he never stopped loving her or missing her every day they were apart. Stefan calls Gabi the love of his life and says he was in a terrible place when he was unfaithful to her. Stefan declares that Gabi is the only person in the world that he wants to be with and the only person he cares about. Stefan knows he hurt her and wishes he could go back in time to take back that awful mistake but he can’t. Stefan wants to make it up to Gabi and pleads with her to come home with him so they can start to work this out. Gabi then tells Stefan that she will come home which makes him smile.

Roman asks Ava how Gabi felt out. Ava informs him that her assistant Connie told her. Roman then asks how Connie heard about it. Ava explains that she was eavesdropping on her and Kristen which was a definite blunder on her part. Ava says she didn’t expect Connie to hear her and rat her out. Ava complains that Connie is a total fraud as Melinda found out she lied on her entire resume. Roman guesses timing is everything. Ava declares that maybe the last laugh will be on Connie because Melinda just went to her apartment to fire her ass.

Connie’s vision of Li argues that she doesn’t want to kill Melinda and that she wants to make amends for what’s already happened. He asks if she really wants another death on her conscience. Connie argues that what happened to Bobby was not her fault. He encourages that Rafe could still recover and go on to lead a happy life, so Melinda can too. Connie worries that Melinda would expose her and make her sound like a low life criminal, asking what she’s supposed to do then. Her vision of Li tells her that she will have to face the consequences because sooner or later, she’s going to have to own up to what she did. He points out that Melinda hasn’t done anything to her yet, urging her to do the right thing and that Melinda doesn’t deserve this. Connie questions why he cares so much then asks if he’s in love with Melinda.

EJ tells Abigail not to be alarmed as what happened between them was many moons ago and she wasn’t married to Chad then. Abigail worries that she was a homewrecker. EJ says he wouldn’t put it that way. EJ assures that it was entirely on him. Abigail complains that she slept with two of Chad’s brothers and asks if there are any other brothers. Chad then walks in and sees that Abigail has met EJ. Abigail responds that he’s been quite helpful in her finding out some things which Chad questions. Abigail informs him that she learned she slept with Stefan and EJ. EJ apologizes to Chad and says it just came up.

Stefan breathes a sigh of relief after Gabi agrees to come home with him. Stefan assures that he’s not making any assumptions and is just grateful that she’s willing to talk this out. Stefan adds that maybe further down the road, she can find it in her heart to forgive him. Stefan talks about Gabi being grateful when people forgave her in the past because they are all just a work in progress, trying to be their best and learn from mistakes. Gabi then asks if he’s done pontificating, arguing that he was just spouting cliches and boring the hell out of her. Gabi declares she had no intention of putting this behind her. Stefan thought she said she was coming home with him. Gabi asks if he doesn’t know her at all. Gabi then informs him that she will come home, to pack her things as she then exits the office, leaving Stefan distraught.

Chad questions what EJ said to Abigail. Abigail calls it nothing important but apparently she’s the family slut. Abigail then heads upstairs. Chad asks EJ what he told her and shoves him, asking if he’s stupid. EJ says he’s truly sorry but asks how he was supposed to know that Chad didn’t fill her in on her past life. Chad argues that they thought she was dead for two years and that EJ decided to tell her about her sexual history the first chance he gets. EJ admits maybe the timing wasn’t perfect but says it was bound to come out eventually. Chad then turns and walks out of the room.

Roman asks Ava if this incident with Stefan was why she and Harris broke up, then decides it’s none of his business. Ava assures him that it’s fine and admits it’s kind of good to talk about it. Ava informs Roman that Harris was willing to give her the benefit of the doubt, but there were so many terrible things she did while they were together, that this was just a drop in the bucket. Ava tells Roman to go ahead and says he knew it. Roman says he won’t say that and appreciates her being this open with him about this. Ava says that’s because she trusts him as he’s obviously a stand up guy with a very good heart. Ava adds that maybe it would be more of his sister Kayla’s reaction to say I knew it, since basically everything she told him confirms everything that Kayla already thought about her.

Connie questions her vision of Li never getting over Melinda but he says that’s not true and that he cares about Connie, encouraging that she can be capable of kindness and compassion. Connie questions what to do with Melinda if she doesn’t kill her, arguing that she knows too much since she practically told her all of her plans before she passed out, so she will tell the cops and Gabi. Her vision of Li declares that he has an idea.

EJ has a drink in the living room as Gabi storms in with Stefan following her. Stefan tries to talk to her but Gabi yells at him. EJ excitedly assumes there’s trouble in paradise.

Chad goes to see Abigail in their old bedroom and asks if she’s okay. Abigail says it’s just a lot to process to hear terrible things about yourself. Chad tells her that most of the stuff about her isn’t terrible, but pretty wonderful. Abigail brings up sleeping with two of his brothers. Chad calls it water under the bridge. Chad tells Abigail that she doesn’t have to stay in this room since the guest room is made up but she tells him that she decided she wants to stay in this room. Chad says that’s okay if that’s what she wants. Abigail suggests perhaps it could help bring back memories of them and she could start being the Abigail that he remembers.

Roman tells Ava that he can’t speak for Kayla and supposes she has her own reasons for feeling how she does about her, but he’s more about forgiveness as they all make mistakes.

EJ says he’s just making sure they have home safety measures because they don’t want gold diggers and ex-cons coming in. Stefan yells at EJ to get the hell out but EJ declares that he is staying right here. EJ happily remarks that it’s Gabi who is getting the hell out of here. Gabi then responds that on second thought, she’s not going anywhere and is staying right here.

Chanel says it’s nothing but Johnny says it didn’t seem like it as they could hear them going at it from across the town square. Johnny remarks that the tension between them is off the charts. Abe adds that’s exactly what he was thinking. Johnny asks Chanel if Alex is bothering her. Chanel says no and that there’s no need to resurrect the DiMera-Kiriakis feud over a little disagreement.

Alex then gets up and walks away. Johnny asks Chanel what that was all about. Chanel insists that it was nothing. Abe says he has something to take care of and tells Johnny that he will see him back at the office after he runs their idea past Chanel. Johnny thanks Abe as he walks away. Chanel asks Johnny what idea but Johnny wants to talk about whatever just happened. Chanel wants to leave it. Johnny asks if Alex is harassing her. Chanel then admits that it was about Allie. Johnny thought it might be. Chanel assures that she’s not upset about the way things turned out as she knows that she’s with the person she is supposed to be with. Chanel declares that after the way Alex betrayed her, there is no way they could ever be friends. Johnny thinks Alex got that message loud and clear. Chanel then asks what Johnny wanted to talk to her about. Johnny explains that he and Abe were talking about casting a new character named Faith for Body and Soul. Chanel asks what it has to do with her. Johnny reveals that he thought Chanel might be perfect for the part.

Abe catches up to Alex outside the Pub and says this may sound out of left field, but asks if he’s ever thought about being an actor.

Sarah assures that she’ll be fine and she’ll be here waiting for him to get back. Xander kisses Sarah and then exits.

Fiona watches over Victoria and says that what happened to Sarah was an accident, but Xander is determined to find out who caused it and worries that he will never forgive her if he finds out. Fiona thinks back to moving Brady in to the driver’s seat and prays that no one ever finds out it was Brady’s car that hit Sarah. Fiona then declares that if they do, they at least won’t know she was driving it.

Brady gets a call from Kristen and thanks her for getting back to him. Brady argues that Rachel wanted to spend time with him today and questions why she would deprive her of that. Kristen brings up Sarah’s accident and the fact that it was done by a gray car. Brady claims he was working all night and tells Kristen to keep her crazy theories to herself as he angrily hangs up.

Paulina goes to see Jada in the police commissioner’s office. Jada tells her that she’s going through the last of the security footage from the town square, trying to find any video of what happened to Sarah. Paulina questions if that shouldn’t be someone else’s job. Jada reminds her that since Shawn and Harris both resigned, they are extremely understaffed and now with Rafe in the hospital.

Abe points out that neither are some of the people they’ve already hired. Alex is not sure he’s interested but admits he does have the time since he just had his marriage annulled and is no longer CEO of Titan, so he will be looking to fill his plate. Abe then reveals to Alex that if he is cast, he will be playing opposite Chanel.

Chanel asks Johnny if this is a joke and questions him wanting her to act in Body and Soul. Johnny asks why not and praises her, pointing out that Chanel said the Bakery is practically running itself and they’d get to spend more time together. Johnny asks if Chanel will audition.

Maggie visits Sarah in her hospital room. Maggie says she could’ve gone to check on Victoria instead of Xander.

Sarah talks about having to adjust to what their new life looks like when she recovers. Maggie encourages that she has a lot of people who love her. Sarah responds that she’s very grateful for her. Sarah adds that she was nervous about Fiona coming to town, but calls it a blessing having her here.

Fiona suggests taking Victoria on another walk and talks about how she used to take Xander on drives when he was little but doesn’t suppose that would be a very good idea right now. Fiona knows Victoria doesn’t understand anything she’s saying to her, which is why she can open up to her. Fiona declares that she knows Victoria will keep her secret right as Xander comes home and asks what secret that is.

Jada informs Paulina that none of the cameras captured Sarah getting hit by the car, they have no witness, and Sarah has no memory of it so they have no avenue left to explore. Jada admits she is not optimistic that they are going to find who did this.

Brady goes out to the garage to inspect his car and sees there is paint scraped off the front. Brady then has a flashback to the sound of screeching tires and begins to panic.

Chanel doesn’t think it’s a good idea for her to audition. Johnny questions why not. Chanel says she’s not a real actor and feels it would be awkward if she didn’t get the part or if she did get the part and make a fool of herself. Johnny encourages that she did amazing when she auditioned for his movie before and asks what changed. Chanel argues that she’s his wife now and she meant spending more time together with picnics in the park or walks around the lake. Chanel adds that she worked with Allie and Talia when they were together. Johnny jokes that he’s not them and decides he will have to switch up his tactics to try to convince her in another way as he kisses her. Johnny asks how Chanel would like to be able to do that all day long, every day, any time they want. Chanel then gives in and agrees to audition. Johnny promises she won’t regret it as they kiss.

Maggie tells Sarah that she’s so proud of her courage and how all the nurses admire her as a doctor. Sarah talks about seeing a lot of patients come in with injuries like hers, so she knows the only way to get better is through hard work. Maggie encourages that she will do that with strength and commitment. Sarah declares that her plan is to stand up on her own two feet and walk out in a week, a month, a year, or however long it takes. Sarah then cries that if that’s not the plan for her, she still plans on living a full and complete life because she’s a very lucky woman with such a supportive mom and a husband she loves with all her heart along with her miracle daughter. Sarah refuses to let some hit and run driver rob her of a wonderful future with her family.

Fiona asks how Sarah is doing. Xander informs her that after she left, they unfortunately got some bad news. Fiona asks what happened. Xander reveals that Sarah has no feeling from the waist down. Xander adds that the doctors are optimistic and think it’s just swelling, so they are hoping it goes down. Fiona states that it has to. Xander admits they have no way of knowing how long Sarah will be hospitalized for and she’s missing Victoria terribly. Fiona mentions that Victoria has been resisting a nap so she was going to take her on another walk.

Xander then arrives with Victoria. Sarah is thrilled, questioning how he did that. Xander says he just greased some wheels while Sarah thanks him.

Fiona goes to see Brady and questions what was so urgent that he couldn’t discuss it over the phone. Brady informs her that he remembered tires screeching from last night. Brady says that’s all he remembered but he now knows that Sarah was hit by a driver in a gray car and he’s afraid it could’ve been him.

Jada finds the car that hit Sarah on the new security footage and shows it to Paulina. Jada confirms it’s a gray car but the lighting is bad so she can’t make out the make or model, but says forensics should be able to get more information. Jada then watches the video frame by frame and declares that she thinks they just broke the case wide open.

Johnny texts Chanel the scene to audition for. Chanel asks when the audition is and how long she has to refine her character. Johnny says she has as long as it takes them to find a leading man to read with her.

Abe tells Alex that he will e-mail him the audition scenes when he gets back to the office. Alex asks what if Chanel doesn’t get the part. Abe responds that he would just have to make sparks fly with someone else.

Fiona urges Brady to calm down. Brady argues that it’s not just the gray car, but that he was drunk and doesn’t remember how he got home. Brady didn’t think he’d be stupid enough to drink and drive but clearly he was. Brady talks about seeing damage on the front of the car. Fiona asks who would know how long the scratch has been there and that it could just be a coincidence caused by anything. Fiona adds that Sarah didn’t see the driver and apparently can’t remember anything either.

Sarah tells Xander how much good it did for her to see Victoria. Xander informs her that Kayla allowed him to bring Victoria every day and jokes about not telling other patients about their special permissions. Sarah mentions being sleepy so Maggie offers to take Victoria home. Sarah makes Maggie promise to go home and get some rest as well. Maggie tells Sarah that she loves her. Maggie thanks Xander for bringing Victoria and for pulling strings which Xander jokes is his speciality. Maggie then takes Victoria and exits. Xander sits back with Sarah and encourages her to rest. Sarah doesn’t think it would be fun for him to just watch her sleep but Xander assures he could do that all day. Kayla comes in so Sarah asks about her test results which Kayla confirms have come in.

Brady tells Fiona that this is Sarah’s nightmare but he could’ve caused the whole thing. Fiona encourages that everything could turn out fine since Sarah had successful surgery and the doctors are very hopeful. Brady questions them being hopeful. Fiona then admits that Sarah has been having trouble with her legs. Brady questions if Sarah is paralyzed. Fiona says they believe it’s only temporary but Brady declares that he’s going to have to turn himself in.

Chanel remains in the town square, practicing her lines.

Alex continues reading the script.

Chanel continues reading the script and comments on a cliffhanger, making her wonder what’s next.

Maggie brings Victoria home and finds that Fiona is gone which she finds strange.

Fiona argues that Brady can’t turn himself in when he doesn’t even know if he did anything wrong. Brady argues that he drove drunk and there’s obviously something wrong with that. Brady questions why he didn’t take a cab like Fiona told him to. Brady asks Fiona to come look at his car with him because he wants to know what she thinks, which she agrees to do.

Paulina doesn’t see how this helps Jada’s case since they can’t see the driver or inside the car at all. Jada points out the corner, revealing a partial license plate of “124”. Paulina asks if they can identify it off that. Jada says they often can and now they have a really good chance of finding the car.

Brady brings Fiona to the garage but is shocked to find that his car is gone.

Sarah guesses it’s not good news. Kayla admits she’s afraid not. Kayla explains that her initial MRI showed no fracture or displacement, but the radiologist believes the repeat MRI shows evidence of a spinal cord stroke, caused by the blood loss experienced after the accident. Xander asks if that’s not good to have a definitive diagnosis and asks what to do next. Kayla talks about already having surgery and the steroids she’s already on. Sarah declares that means there’s nothing left to do. Sarah tells Xander that there’s been damage to her nerves that is probably irreversible. Sarah adds that it’s possible she might regain some sensation, but there’s a good chance she won’t. Xander hugs Sarah as she cries.

Stephanie thanks him and knows this won’t be a walk in the park but promises to be more than willing to devote all of her time and energy to it. Abe welcomes Stephanie to the team as they shake hands.

Johnny tells Chanel that their timing is a little off as she used to be the one always too busy and now they have switched roles.

Chanel knows he must be relieved as she heard about how Theresa deceived him. Chanel says she’s sorry as that must have been rough.

Chanel shouts that Alex still slept with her girlfriend and that’s not okay. Alex repeats that they were on the outs and the time before that, the three of them had sex. Chanel calls that completely different because she and Allie were trying together to improve their relationship, claiming it had nothing to do with him. Alex disagrees, arguing that they were both all over him that night while Chanel says he was like a non-entity. Alex feels he played a big role while Chanel recalls it not being that big. Alex disagrees and asks why she’s being so petty. Johnny and Abe interrupt to ask what is going on. Chanel says it’s nothing but Johnny says it didn’t seem like it as they could hear them going at it from across the town square. Johnny remarks that the tension between them is off the charts. Abe adds that’s exactly what he was thinking…

Update written by Joseph

Kayla is in her office at the hospital, finishing up a call to put a rush on Sarah’s test results. After she hangs up, Steve arrives and asks if it’s a bad time. Kayla tells him that she’s on a break. Steve asks how Sarah is doing. Kayla responds that she’s recovering from surgery but still doesn’t feel anything in her legs. Steve asks about that being temporary. Kayla says she hopes so and asks if Steve only came by to check on Sarah. Steve says also to see her beautiful face. Steve adds that he spoke to Jack, who told him that Jennifer just got in from Boston and they are going to see Abigail.

At the DiMera Mansion, Chad tells Jack and Jennifer that Abigail is nervous to see Jennifer. Jennifer says she’s nervous too to see her daughter. Jennifer asks if it’s true that she’s really alive and here. Jack responds that she really is.

“Abigail” remains in the bedroom and makes a phone call, saying everything is going according to plan.

Connie questions Melinda firing her and asks if Gabi knows about this. Melinda says not yet. Connie argues that Gabi will never stand for this. Melinda says that Gabi will when she finds out what she found out about Connie. Connie argues that she’s an open book and asks what she allegedly found out. Melinda informs her that she checked her references and her entire resume is a lie which company policy is very strict about, so there was no alternative. Connie argues that everyone lies on their resume. Melinda demands her laptop and badge but Connie says no way in hell. Melinda argues that those are DiMera property and orders her to return them. Connie complains about Melinda showing up at her door with no notice. Melinda then threatens to get the police involved. Connie tells Melinda that she can’t come in right now. Melinda asks if she has company.

At the Bistro, Gabi toasts to Ava for taking a chance on her and reviving Gabi Chic, even if it was out of guilt. Ava asks what she means. Gabi then calls Ava the lying, cheating bitch who slept with her husband. Ava questions what she just called her. Gabi asks what part she didn’t understand. Stefan asks what she’s talking about. Gabi tells him to spare her the innocent act because she knows they slept together. Stefan claims not to know where this is coming from and asks why she would think they slept together. Gabi questions this being how he’s going to play it. Stefan claims not to understand what’s going on. Gabi asks if he’s sure and warns that she’s giving him one last chance to come clean with her. Ava calls this ridiculous and asks where Gabi even got this idea. Gabi reveals that Connie told her everything.

Connie tells Melinda that she’s sorry but it’s not a good time for her. Melinda says that’s too bad and insists as DiMera’s general counsel that she let her in. Melinda reminds her that she has their property and she’d rather not bring the police in, but threatens to do so. Connie tells her that there’s no need to call the authorities and that she just needs a minute to straighten up. Connie shuts the door and worries about what to do.

Chad hopes that Jennifer is prepared for who Abigail is now. Jennifer asks if he’s talking about how different she looks. Chad talks about Abigail not remembering any of them or anything about her life. Jack says he explained that to her. Jennifer declares that no matter what, Abigail is her daughter and she’s alive, so she will accept whoever she is right now. Chad says he will go see what’s keeping her and exits the room.

Kayla tells Steve that even after Chad and Jack told her they found Abigail, she didn’t really expect the DNA test to confirm she was Abigail. Steve can’t imagine what it was like being there when they got the test results. Kayla states that they were all just stunned. Steve declares that now the healing can begin as Chad is back with his wife while Jack and Jennifer have their daughter back. Kayla notes that Abigail is so different, so she hopes that soon they will have her back in every way.

Abigail says on the phone that she needs to go as she’s already nervous enough as it is. She hangs up as Chad enters the room. She claims she was just talking to one of the nurses who took care of her in Poplar Bluff to tell her the good news that she found out who she is. Chad guesses she was happy that her family found her. She asks if everything is okay. Chad says he doesn’t want to pressure her but her mom and dad are waiting downstairs. Abigail tells him that she just needs two more minutes to get changed. Chad tells her that she doesn’t have to cover with him as he heard her say on the phone that she was nervous. Chad encourages that Jack and Jennifer love her and they’re just really happy to have her back so they don’t want to make her uncomfortable. She jokes about them being cool with having a daughter with amnesia. She thanks Chad for being patient with her. Chad responds that he will wait as long as she needs him to. Chad adds that maybe seeing her mom will bring something back. Chad says he’ll see her downstairs and exits.

Connie tells her cardboard cutout of Li that this is a total disaster and asks what she’s going to do now. Melinda knocks on the door, asking if they can get this over with. Connie worries about Gabi finding out why she really wanted the job and there goes her plan. Connie asks how she will get revenge on Gabi and Stefan for what they did to Li if she’s not Gabi’s assistant. Melinda knocks on the door, complaining that she doesn’t have all day. Connie then gets an idea.

Stefan questions Connie telling Gabi that he and Ava slept together. Ava asks where she would get that idea. Gabi responds that Connie overheard Ava talking about it in the office. Ava flashes back to telling Stefan that Connie might have overheard her and Kristen talking. Ava tells Gabi that Connie must be mistaken about what she heard. Stefan adds that he and Ava both told Gabi that they were pretending to date and that must have been what Ava was talking about. Gabi says she said the same thing to Connie, but Connie was insistent that she heard Ava and Stefan slept together while she was in prison. Stefan states that she heard wrong. Gabi asks if he’s saying Connie is a liar. Stefan states that she’s obviously mistaken. Gabi supposes that would be possible, but responds that if Connie was mistaken then so was Kristen. Gabi then reveals that Kristen confirmed it.

Melinda continues knocking on Connie’s door until she opens it again. Connie apologizes and allows Melinda inside. Melinda says she will need her laptop and DiMera ID. Connie asks if she can take a moment to explain and offers Melinda tea but she declines. Connie says she knows it was inexcusable but she was desperate to get the job. Connie says she’s deeply ashamed of the fraud and asks if Melinda’s never done something that she deeply regretted later. Melinda says they aren’t talking about her. Connie talks about Melinda being a woman of honor and servant to the public. Connie doesn’t expect Melinda to forgive her but says she just wants to tell her side and have some understanding. Melinda gives in and asks what she has to say. Connie calls it a long story and insists on fixing her some tea.

Gabi asks if Ava is surprised that her good friend gave her up or if Stefan didn’t think his sister would sell him out, pointing out that is what DiMeras do. Gabi adds that Kristen tried to back them up as long as she could, until she threatened to pull Gabi Chic from DiMera, then Kristen finally admitted the truth that Stefan and Ava did the dirty while she was locked up, fearing for her life. Gabi declares that deserves another toast and throws her champagne on Stefan.

Jennifer worries about Abigail having second thoughts about meeting her. Jack says this is difficult for everyone. Chad then returns and says that Abigail will be down in a minute. Chad asks if Jennifer is sure she’s ready for this. Jennifer assures that she is. Abigail then enters the room.

Kayla tells Steve that she keeps thinking about the moment after reading the DNA test results when Jack reached out to hug Abigail but she pushed him away. Kayla says Jack tried to play it off but she knows he was hurt. Steve talks about Jack saying it wasn’t the easiest reunion but he is optimistic that Abigail could get her memory back. Kayla confirms it could just be a psychological issue and there’s a chance that she could make a full recovery. Kayla notes that some patients do but there’s no way to know when or if Abigail will recover. Steve says it’s a good thing that she has people around her who love her and are willing to support her through this, no matter how long it takes, including her uncle Steve and her amazing aunt Kayla. Steve adds that from what Jack told him, Abigail spent the last few years being lied to by Clyde Weston, so now that she’s home in Salem around all the people and things she knows, maybe it will cut through all of that.

Abigail approaches Jennifer and they greet each other. Jennifer reaches out to her, but then pulls her hand back and declares this is not her daughter. Jennifer then apologizes. Jack promises her that this is their daughter. Chad argues that the DNA test proved it. Abigail says she knows she looks different and she’s sorry she doesn’t remember her, but she knows how she must be feeling. Jennifer repeats that she’s so sorry as she doesn’t know why she’s reacting this way and she thought she was ready for this. Jack tries to encourage her but Jennifer cries that she thought she would still feel a connection to her daughter, but she doesn’t feel anything. Jennifer repeats that she’s sorry as she breaks down and runs out of the room.

Connie pours tea for Melinda and tells her that she knows it was wrong to embellish but she really wanted the job. Melinda says she agreed to hear her story but she’s saying nothing. Melinda question what it was about the job that she wanted it so bad for instead of finding one more suitable to her qualifications. Connie responds that she didn’t just want a job, she wanted this job, declaring that she had to work for Gabi. Melinda didn’t know Gabi was that important to Connie and remarks that she must really be a fan. Connie laughs at that and reveals to Melinda that she hates Gabi’s guts.

Stefan asks Gabi if they can talk about this in private. Gabi yells at Ava to go to the office and pack her stuff because she made it very clear to Kristen that she has no intention of working with her if she wants to keep Gabi Chic. Ava questions Gabi making Kristen choose between them. Stefan holds Gabi back as Ava calls her vindictive. Ava wishes Stefan luck and walks out of the Bistro. Gabi shoves Stefan, asking how could he.

Jack tells Abigail that he’s very sorry as this has been very hard on Jennifer. Abigail says she gets it and would react the same way. Chad encourages that it’s going to be okay and they will work it out. Abigail decides that she will go upstairs and let them have some time, so she exits. Chad didn’t think Jennifer would react that way. Jack didn’t think she thought she would either. Chad complains that Jennifer was rejecting her daughter. Jack tries to argue that wasn’t what happened so Chad questions what he would call it then. Chad argues that they worked really hard to gain Abigail’s trust and this was a giant step backwards which Jack agrees with. Chad declares that they have to do damage control or they are going to drive Abigail away from them for good. Chad and Jack make a decision on what to do as Jennifer returns to the room. Jack asks how she is. Jennifer says she’s alright but can’t believe she ran out like that and she’s so sorry. Jennifer asks where Abigail is. Jack says she went upstairs to give them some alone time. Jennifer can’t believe she reacted so badly and suggests maybe they should come back another time. Jack reveals that he and Chad actually think they should head back to Boston. Jennifer questions wanting to leave already. Jack says it’s just until Abigail gets her memory back. Jennifer doesn’t understand. Jack explains that they are just concerned that they are forcing things and it’s just too hard. Jennifer doesn’t want to abandon Abigail. Jack says they just want everyone to have space to absorb this as it’s too much pressure on her. Chad tells them about hearing her on the phone with a nurse and that she’s really struggling. Jack declares that once Abigail gets her memory back, things will all be different as she won’t look the same but she will be Abigail in every sense of the word. Jennifer asks if this is how they both feel. Chad clarifies it’s not that he wants her to leave. Jennifer argues that she can react better now that she’s more prepared. Chad worries that her sense that it’s not her daughter won’t go anywhere even if she hides it, so he doesn’t think it’s good for anyone. Jennifer agrees that Abigail needs room to find herself and them being around just makes it more complicated. Jennifer hates leaving as it feels like giving up, but Jack insists it is not that at all. Jack declares that they will never give up and that when Abigail is ready, she will come to them and they will be there to love and cherish her.

Stefan knows Gabi is upset but says what happened between he and Ava was not planned. Gabi questions him finally admitting it. Stefan calls it a moment of weakness as he was very drunk and missing Gabi. Stefan talks about how hard it was to live without her. Gabi mocks him and talks about how hard it was for her in prison, fighting for her life. Stefan says he was fighting for her but Gabi doesn’t want to hear it. Gabi complains that she got beaten up and thrown in to solitary while Stefan was with Ava. Stefan swears it only happened once. Gabi questions why she should believe him. Stefan says because he loves her. Stefan knows she hates him right now and has every right to, but argues that she can’t hate him nearly as much as he hates himself. Stefan admits what he did was horrible and he wishes he could go back to change everything, but he can’t. Stefan repeats that it was a mistake that he will never make again because he loves Gabi. Stefan says if Gabi lets him, he will spend the rest of their lives making it up to her.

Melinda questions Connie saying she hates Gabi. Connie states that she despises Gabi with every fiber of her being and Stefan too. Melinda asks why. Connie reminds Melinda of what they did to Li, shattering his heart in the process. Melinda realizes this is about Li Shin. Connie calls him a dear sweet prince of a man and says that he was a broken shell because of them. Connie blames Gabi and Stefan for being the reason they couldn’t be together. Melinda questions Connie wanting to be with Li. Connie says that she was in love with Li and that they were meant for each other. Melinda points out that they only went on one date. Connie complains that maybe if Melinda hadn’t barged in to Li’s life, they might have gone on more. Melinda had no idea that Connie had such strong feelings for Li. Connie informs Melinda that she moved in to his old apartment because she wanted to feel close to him. Connie then pours more tea for Melinda and talks about how the apartment is a great space for operations on getting revenge for Li’s death. Connie remarks that it was Gabi and Melinda’s faults that Li was killed which Melinda questions. Connie didn’t know that this would work but says Melinda actually bought her apology. Melinda argues that the only one responsible for Li’s death is the man who stabbed him, Gil Carter. Connie responds that Gil didn’t stab Li. Melinda suddenly starts to feel sick. Connie then reveals that she spiked Melinda’s tea with Digoxin. Melinda questions what it does. Connie says she will see and points out that luckily no one knows she’s there. Melinda brings up Ava knowing that she’s there and scrambles to get her phone out of her purse.

Chad tells Jack that he will check in with him every day and let him know if anything changes. Jack thanks Chad for taking care of their girl. Abigail comes back downstairs and questions them leaving. Jennifer says they are just going to head back to Boston for a little while and that they will tell JJ to postpone his trip for awhile. Jennifer explains that they want to be there but feel it might be overwhelming. Abigail tells Jennifer that it was nice to meet her. Jack adds that they are just a phone call away if she needs anything. Chad then walks out with Jack and Jennifer.

Stefan asks Gabi to let him explain but Gabi doesn’t want to hear it. Gabi says that Kristen already tried to make her understand his feelings, but it didn’t work because she doesn’t give a damn about how bad he feels about betraying her. Gabi tells Stefan that nothing excuses what he did to her. Gabi complains that she suffered while Stefan was out with Ava. Gabi brings up her first night out of prison and how she went on and on about how much she missed him and longed for him. Gabi argues that she just assumed he felt the same way but he didn’t wait for her. Gabi remarks that their wedding vows meant so little to him that he just jumped in to bed with the next available warm body. Stefan cries that it wasn’t like that and what he did was horrible. Stefan asks if they can go home and talk this through. Gabi asks if he’s serious and shouts that she’s never going home with him ever again. Stefan questions what she means. Gabi declares their marriage is over. Stefan argues that she doesn’t mean that. Gabi says she does and tells Stefan not to touch her as she storms out of the Bistro.

Ava walks through the town square and calls Kristen, leaving a message that she shouldn’t be surprised that Kristen didn’t have her back with Gabi since DiMeras always put business ahead of friendship and loyalty. Ava then sees she has a missed call from Melinda.

Connie takes Melinda’s phone and says that she was so close to leaving a message. Connie adds that she wasn’t planning on poisoning Melinda, but she couldn’t risk her exposing them. Connie then remarks that she hoped Melinda enjoyed the tea as Melinda lays passed out on the couch.

Update written by Joseph

At the DiMera Office, Gabi is at her desk and looks at a photo of her and Stefan. Gabi gets a call from Connie. Gabi thought she would be here by now but Connie claims she’s getting a cold and asks to stay home today. Gabi tells her to feel better soon. Connie says she’s more worried about how Gabi is feeling as she’s sure that she will feel better after she gets her revenge on Stefan for cheating on her with Ava.

Ava meets Melinda in the town square. Melinda tells her that this is about a sensitive personnel matter that she didn’t feel comfortable bringing up in the office. Melinda informs Ava that a major indiscretion has come up and consider who it involves, it will need to be dealt with very delicately.

Jack reunites with Julie at the Horton House, explaining that they got back very late. Julie asks what happened with the girl in the video. Jack reveals that it was Abigail and confirms she is alive which thrills Julie.

Abigail comes downstairs and in to the living room of the DiMera Mansion. She looks up at the portrait of Stefano and comments that he always looks like he knows something the rest of them don’t. Chad comes in and greets her, asking if she slept okay. Abigail tells him that she slept better than she can remember since she didn’t have an actual bed in Poplar Bluff. Abigail mentions not being a breakfast person. Stefan comes in and greets Chad, asking when he got there. Chad informs him that he slept there. Stefan jokes about Chad coming over for a sleepover. Stefan guesses Chad’s friend knows Gabi since she’s wearing one of her robes. Abigail apologizes and says she needed something and it was in one of the bathrooms. Stefan then asks if Chad is going to introduce them. Chad responds that they’ve already met and reveals this is Abigail, leaving Stefan confused. Stefan says he doesn’t understand. Chad reminds him that he’s been looking for the woman in the video that Clyde sent him and they found her. Stefan knows Chad has had it very rough since that night, but tells him that this is not Abigail. Chad then reveals that the DNA test said it is.

Ava asks Melinda to just say what she has to tell her. Melinda clarifies that it’s about Connie. Ava says she should discuss that with Gabi since Connie is her direct report. Melinda points out that Gabi hired Connie but Ava hired Gabi. Ava questions that making it her problem. Melinda doesn’t think Gabi will be very receptive to pushback about her right hand woman. Ava then asks what Connie did.

Connie asks Gabi when she’s going to pull the trigger and put her revenge plan in to action. Gabi says not now. Connie doesn’t understand. Gabi explains that she’s not doing anything until she has absolute proof that Stefan had an affair with Ava. Kristen then arrives at the office. Gabi tells Connie that she knows just how she’s going to get that proof.

Melinda talks to Ava about the reasons Connie would be living in Li Shin’s old place, but they never pinned down why because they couldn’t but she needed to find out. Melinda says she went back to Connie’s employment file, paying special attention to her resumé and references. Ava asks what she found. Melinda reveals that everything in it is a lie and calls Connie a total fraud.

Connie questions how Gabi is going to prove Stefan cheated on her. Gabi says maybe later as she has to get back to work. Connie wishes her luck and tells her to call if she needs anything as they hang up. Connie then tells herself that she might miss fireworks at the office, but she stayed home to spend a glorious day with her cutout of Li.

Stefan questions Chad telling him that this is Abigail with plastic surgery and amnesia. Abigail points out that she doesn’t remember Stefan at all but they obviously knew each other. Chad explains that Stefan is his half-brother. Abigail tells him that it’s nice to meet him again. Stefan jokes that he fully expects to wake up at any moment now. Abigail asks if they were close. Stefan says they had a complicated relationship which Chad calls an understatement.

Ava tells Melinda that it doesn’t track since DiMera is a big company so someone would’ve checked Connie out. Melinda points out that it wouldn’t have gone through the regular channels since it was a hire for Gabi Chic. Ava feels Gabi would’ve checked then but Melinda points out how Connie immediately made herself indispensable so that Gabi dropped it, being swamped with her launch and Rafe in the hospital. Ava feels Connie must have some work history. Ava adds that Gabi called Connie outstanding. Ava feels Connie isn’t the first person to lie on a resumé . Melinda tells her that people she reached out to about Connie used the words overzealous and psychotic. Ava jokes that worse has been said about her while Melinda jokes that she wouldn’t have hired Ava either. Melinda talks about Connie getting a favorable reference from her previous job just to go away. Ava asks if they are supposed to tell Gabi or give Connie a warning. Melinda declares that Connie needs to be terminated immediately.

Connie tells her cutout of Li that she’s excited to spend the day with him and then sets up her voicemail on her phone.

Kristen picks up Gabi’s photo of her and Stefan, saying she must have knocked it over by mistake. Gabi asks what she can do for her. Kristen says she was just checking in and asks if she ever made it home last night. Gabi says she had too much to do. Kristen appreciates her work ethic, especially since she will be making a profit off it. Kristen talks about everyone needing a work-life balance and points out that Gabi and Stefan have spent so much time apart that it’s not good for the relationship. Kristen suggests changing that before it becomes a problem. Kristen talks about planning out her time with Rachel and not being prepared for a crime scene on their way which Gabi questions. Kristen informs her that Sarah was seriously injured by a hit and run driver in the town square parking lot. Gabi asks if they know who did it. Kristen says that Paulina is looking for someone who was driving a gray car. Gabi brings up that Ava drives a gray car. Kristen asks if she’s telling her that Ava is the hit and run driver. Gabi says no because Ava was too busy sleeping with her husband. Kristen tries to laugh it off but Gabi says it apparently was one time. Kristen questions her thinking that. Gabi responds that she doesn’t think, she knows that Stefan slept with Ava while she was languishing away in prison. Kristen claims that she doesn’t buy it. Gabi questions Kristen not hearing any rumors. Kristen says she hasn’t and insists that Stefan never stopped loving her, so she thinks Gabi’s imagination is just running wild. Gabi remarks that she’s surprised Kristen is digging so hard in to this since Connie swears she overheard Kristen and Ava talking about it. Kristen argues that Connie must have misheard. Gabi explains that Connie said she overheard Ava telling Kristen that she has a terrible feeling that Stefan is planning on telling Gabi that they slept together while she was in prison. Gabi doesn’t see any room for another explanation there.

Melinda tells Ava that Connie is a walking liability and has to go. Melinda says that she’ll break it to Connie, so she needs Ava to break it to Gabi. They talk about being unsure how they will take it. Melinda talks about planning to make sure Connie can never get past security again before she causes any lasting damage…

Connie eats breakfast with her cutout of Li and ignores when her phone rings with a call from Melinda. Connie complains that Melinda did Li so dirty and questions Li not talking back to her. Connie declares that she is Li’s retribution and she will make sure Stefan and Gabi get everything that’s coming to them.

Kristen questions Gabi calling her a liar and warns her to consider the ramifications. Gabi says she’s making a mistake. Gabi asks if Kristen likes her job which she questions. Gabi remarks that Stefan may be Kristen’s brother and he may have helped her get the job, but she’s the one helping her keep it. Kristen questions that so Gabi points out that Kristen has made the relaunch of Gabi Chic the centerpiece of her return to DiMera and explains that her contract states she can take her marbles and go home any time she wants before the launch becomes official. Gabi warns Kristen to stop with the games before she takes her company to her biggest competitor. Gabi asks Kristen if she wants to lose everything because her brother was a cheating idiot. Gabi then demands Kristen tell her what she knows. Kristen then admits that Gabi is right and everything she said is true, confirming that Stefan and Ava slept together.

Abigail asks if there’s something she should know about her and Stefan’s past. Stefan states that he’s just very happy she’s back. Abigail decides to go take a shower and says it was nice catching up as she then exits. Stefan tells Chad that it’s unbelievable and that he’s speechless. Stefan jokes that if Abigail needs any help with coming back from the dead, he can send her to him. Stefan then thanks Chad for not telling her that he raped her. Chad clarifies that he did that for Abigail, not him. Chad says she hasn’t even met the kids, so telling her about the dissociative identity disorder, Ben, and Stefan would be too traumatic for her right now. Stefan says he gets it, but advises Chad to fill her in on some things because being back there might trigger some memories that she’s not quite prepared for.

Abigail enters her and Chad’s old bedroom and finds an old framed photo of Chad and Abigail.

Jack asks Julie if she’s alright. Julie responds that she’s stunned as she was preparing herself for bad news. Jack calls it overwhelming and that’s why Chad is taking everything slowly since Abigail is a virtual stranger to herself. Julie questions why they spent the night at the DiMera Mansion. Jack explains that Abigail thought it was too soon and too much for her to see the kids. Julie understands but says they can’t keep this from Thomas and Charlotte that their mother is alive. Julie calls it a miracle and exclaims that Abigail will have to see everyone who loves her. Jack confirms Jennifer is on her way to Salem. Jennifer then rushes in and announces she’s here and she needs to see her daughter right now. Jack hugs her as Julie says she’s so glad she’s here. Jack knows she wants to see their daughter right away but Abigail wanted time with Chad alone, so he’s not sure they should push this. Jennifer questions if Jack would let anything keep him away if he hadn’t already seen Abigail. Jack then agrees to call Chad and tell him they are on their way.

Stefan tells Chad that he knows he brought Abigail back here in hopes of triggering some happy memories, but a lot of bad stuff happened her too. Chad assures that he hasn’t forgotten that. Stefan says he’s just trying to help. Chad cuts him off and says he’s doing his best as he got his wife back and it’s a miracle but he’s doing his best to manage their needs, his kids needs, and everyone else. Stefan asks if he has any idea how she survived. Chad says no. Stefan asks if maybe Dr. Rolf was involved. Chad says he has a lot more questions than answers right now. Chad then gets a call from Jack.

Abigail looks around the bedroom and sits on the bed. Chad comes in and asks what she’s doing in there. Abigail responds that she doesn’t know and that something drew her in here. Chad informs her that it was their room. Abigail asks why he didn’t take her here last night. Chad reveals it’s also where she was stabbed as he found her lying right there on the bed. Abigail asks if they ever caught the person who did it. Chad confirms they did and reveals that it was Clyde Weston.

Connie tells her cardboard cutout of Li that they can play charades until they are interrupted by Melinda knocking on her door, saying she needs to speak with her immediately.

Gabi tells Kristen that she knew she was going to say it, but she just wanted to hear it straight from her anyway. Gabi guesses part of her had hope but it still hurts. Kristen knows Stefan and Ava hate themselves for what they did and assures it was just one time. Gabi argues that it should’ve been zero and that Stefan confessed to only two kisses for show. Kristen insists that they agonized over telling her the truth because they didn’t want to upset her. Kristen assures it meant nothing. Gabi argues that Kristen wouldn’t buy an excuse like that and questions why she should. Gabi complains that they didn’t lie to protect her but to keep her from wringing their necks. Kristen states that they were just drunk and lonely. Gabi mocks the idea of them naturally falling in to each other’s arms. Kristen shouts that Stefan loves her and asks if Gabi wants to lose him. Kristen knows that Gabi loves him and also has to work with Ava. Ava then arrives at the office, so Gabi calls it a coincidence as they were just talking about her.

Abigail questions Chad about Clyde since he was the man who helped her and watched over her all this time. Chad doesn’t know why Clyde would kill her just to keep her alive. Chad calls Clyde a sick and twisted sociopath. Abigail guesses they weren’t best friends. Chad explains that Abigail once dated Clyde’s son and he’s an oddly protective father, so he hated them both and that night, he came for her. Chad adds that if Abigail knew the circumstances surrounding her death, she wouldn’t believe that she is standing here right now. Abigail questions it happening in this room. Chad calls it not an easy thing to remember or think about. Chad wants her to get her memory back but says she should be thankful that she doesn’t remember this right now. Abigail jokes about having a lot to look forward to. Chad says there will be a lot of surprises but promises that most of them will be really beautiful. Chad wants to keep it from knocking her off her feet if he can. Chad then tells Abigail that Jack called and her mom flew in from Boston this morning. Chad says that Jennifer wants to see her and they are coming over if it’s not too much for her. She declares that she is Abigail DiMera so she guesses it’s time she finds out who she is and where she comes from.

Julie tells Jack and Jennifer that she’s happy to watch over Thomas and Charlotte while they are gone. Jennifer knows Julie misses Abigail too and promises to bring her back to her family home soon. Julie sends all her love as she exits the room. Jack stops Jennifer and says he needs to prepare her as this won’t be simple or easy, explaining that their daughter doesn’t look like Abigail, has no memory, and doesn’t recognize him or Chad. Jennifer says she’s aware but Jack insists that being aware and experiencing it first hand are very different. Jack knows Jennifer is thinking that Abigail will see her mother and her memories will come flowing and he prays that they do, but he wants Jennifer to be ready for this reunion not being everything she wants or needs.

Connie answers the door and asks what Melinda wants. Melinda asks if she can come in. Connie says she has a cold. Melinda insists on talking to her in private. Connie says she prefers to have work conversations at work. Melinda then informs Connie that she won’t be coming back to work. Melinda says she didn’t want to do this in the hallway but declares that Connie is terminated, effective immediately.

Ava asks if everything is okay. Gabi says she was just telling Kristen how amazingly well their work relationship is going as they put everything from the past behind them to focus on the future and the launch could not be going any better. Kristen goes along with it as Gabi says it’s all so exciting and she sees no reason why Gabi Chic won’t be at DiMera for years to come. Gabi offers to take Ava to lunch to celebrate everything ahead for them. Ava says she has something to tell her but Gabi says they can talk about it over lunch. Gabi says she just has one thing to do and asks Ava to wait outside. Gabi adds that she will have Stefan save them the best table at the Bistro. After Ava exits, Kristen asks Gabi what the hell she’s going to do. Gabi tells her to be patient and she’ll find out. Gabi then warns Kristen that if she wants the launch to happen, she will do exactly what she tells her.

Connie questions Melinda firing her and asks if Gabi knows about this. Melinda says not yet. Connie argues that Gabi will never stand for this. Melinda says that Gabi will when she finds out what she found out about Connie. Connie argues that she’s an open book and asks what she allegedly found out. Melinda informs her that she checked her references and her entire resumé is a lie which company policy is very strict about, so there was no alternative.
