Steve, Ava, and Kayla check on Tripp in the hospital. Kayla announces that her latest test results show that Tripp is almost completely recovered. Tripp asks if he can go home soon. Kayla says he might be tomorrow. Ava is surprised it’s so soon. Tripp assures that he feels really good. Kayla knows how it seems but insists that Tripp’s body is almost completely healed. Ava then asks for a word with Kayla in private.

Gabi and Mr. Shin continue having drinks at the Bistro. Gabi toasts to Kristen DiMera while Shin toasts to Gabi herself. Gabi says not to forget Jake as they couldn’t have done it without him. Jake then arrives and asks if somebody said his name.

Rafe surprises Nicole with another Duke teddy bear. Rafe then has Nicole check the bear’s pocket where she is shocked to find a ring inside. Rafe then gets down on one knee and proposes to Nicole.

Ava and Kayla exit Tripp’s hospital room. Kayla asks what was so important that she couldn’t say in front of Steve and Tripp. Ava reveals that she wanted to tell her how sorry she is for how she reacted when she thought she lost her son as she said some really hurtful things. Kayla tells her it’s okay and she doesn’t have to do this as they were all really upset, but thankfully Tripp is going to be okay and they can move forward. Ava insists that she needs to say this so Kayla agrees to listen.

Rafe asks Nicole for an answer to his proposal. Nicole tells Rafe that she loves him. Rafe guesses she’s turning him down. Nicole says she didn’t say that but Rafe says he can see it all over her face. Nicole says she doesn’t hate the idea. Rafe asks what the problem is then.

Gabi questions what Jake is doing there as she thought he was working late. Jake says he is finalizing plans on the Gabi Chic/Basic Black collaboration and he needed her signature. Gabi questions that it couldn’t wait until the morning. Gabi quickly signs it and tells Jake he can go now. Mr. Shin questions what the rush is since Gabi said herself that this is Jake’s victory as much as their victory. He then invites Jake to join them. Gabi claims she doesn’t mind. Jake thanks Mr. Shin but says he’s going to pass and he’ll head home. Gabi remarks that he wouldn’t want to keep Ava waiting. Jake tells them to enjoy their evening and exits.

Ava tells Kayla that she waited so long to have Tripp back in her life and then to hear him pronounced dead right in front of her made her lose her mind. Kayla understands since he is her child. Ava knows how much Kayla has come to care for Tripp. Kayla understands that Ava was in pain. Ava admits she wanted to make sure everyone else hurt as much as she did and she was way out of line. Ava tells Kayla that in spite of everything between them, she knows Kayla did everything in her power to save Tripp. Kayla assures that she tried her best but she thinks in this case, they owe it to a higher power. Ava says she is thankful to God but also to Kayla. Ava calls her a wonderful doctor, who Tripp has followed in the footsteps of. Ava thanks Kayla for being gracious since this isn’t her strong suit but she’s working on it and trying to be better. Ava jokes that Kayla is inspiring her too. Kayla asks if she wants to go back to Tripp’s room. Ava says she actually has to get going so she tells Kayla to let Tripp know that she will be back in the morning. Ava thanks Kayla again as she then exits the hospital.

Rafe asks Nicole if she doesn’t want to get engaged because she’s worried about Ava freaking out. Nicole says she hasn’t given Ava a second thought and doesn’t even think she’s an issue between them anymore. Nicole adds that she wouldn’t let Ava stand in the way of them moving forward anyway. Rafe points out that Nicole didn’t say yes, so he asks what’s going on. Nicole responds that maybe she should ask him the same question. Rafe asks what that means. Nicole says they never really talked about marriage and suddenly, he’s proposing, so she asks what that’s about. Rafe thought she would be happy. Nicole says she is happy but very surprised and that’s the only reason she’s hesitant. Nicole doesn’t give a damn what Ava or anyone thinks. Rafe asks if she’s sure there isn’t someone else giving her pause as he then asks if it’s Eric.

Eric comes downstairs at the Brady Pub where Roman and Kate greet him at the counter. Roman asks how Sarah is doing. Eric responds that she cried herself to sleep. Roman hates that she’s going through this and reliving the loss of their baby. Kate mentions seeing Xander tear through here earlier and asks if someone happened upstairs. Eric points out that Xander isn’t exactly happy that Sarah is staying with him. Kate didn’t think the church would be either. Eric assures there’s nothing inappropriate as nothing is going on and he’s just trying to help an old friend come to terms with her grief. Eric clarifies that he is sleeping on the floor. Roman doubts that the Catholic church is watching Eric that closely. Eric then gets a call from the Vatican.

Kayla returns to Tripp’s hospital room. Tripp asks about Ava. Kayla says she had to go somewhere but said to tell him she’ll be back first thing in the morning. Steve asks if they should be concerned about their conversation. Kayla reveals they actually had a very nice conversation as Ava wanted to apologize for lashing out at her when they thought they lost Tripp. Tripp had no idea. Kayla says it doesn’t matter as she didn’t mean any of it and was just a mother overcome with grief, so she guesses they are good now. Steve questions Ava apologizing to her which Kayla confirms that she did.

Jake goes home where Ava notes his bad mood and asks what’s wrong. Jake responds that he tried to help Gabi out with one little thing for work but says to forget it as he’s not getting in to it. Ava encourages that he’s home now so he can relax now and forget all about Gabi. Jake asks Ava about Tripp. Ava responds that he’s expected to make a full recovery. Jake calls that incredible. Ava says she will spend the rest of her life thanking God every day for saving him. Ava calls believing that Tripp was dead the most horrible experience of her life. Ava notes how kind Jake was and says she never would have gotten through it without him. Jake is glad Tripp is making a full recovery and that he could be there for Ava when she needed him.

Eric says he understands and he’s sorry too as he finishes his call with the Vatican. Roman asks if everything is okay. Eric reveals it was one of the American Cardinals in Rome, who said they had a meeting and was calling to tell him that the church is taking steps to remove him from the priesthood.

Nicole asks Rafe what exactly concerns him about Eric. Rafe says nothing. Nicole says if that was true, he wouldn’t have brought Eric up. Nicole tells Rafe that she and Eric are divorced and that Eric went back in to the priesthood so he’s loyal to God while she is loyal to Rafe. Nicole assures Rafe that she’s not sitting around, pining for Father Brady.

Roman questions why Eric is being removed from the priesthood. Kate guesses it’s the Sarah thing but Eric says it’s not. Roman asks what he could have possibly done wrong then. Eric declares that he performed two unauthorized exorcisms. Kate questions needing permission to remove The Devil from someone’s body. Eric says there is a specific way they want things to happen. Eric admits the church gave him a slap on the wrist for the exorcism on Marlena but they just found out he did it a second time so he gave them no other choice but to remove him. Roman asks how they found out. Eric declares it doesn’t matter as he’s not going to be a priest anymore. Roman suggests appealing it but Eric states that it’s a done deal and he was just letting him know. Roman calls it a damn shame and the church’s loss. Roman tells Eric that he’s so sorry. Kate suggests there’s a silver lining since he’s no longer a priest, so maybe he can get back together with Nicole.

Mr. Shin toasts to a peaceful work environment because he couldn’t help but notice the tension between Gabi and Jake. Gabi claims there is no tension and she just didn’t like him interrupting them, but now he’s gone. Mr. Shin says Jake may have declined joining them tonight but he did accept Gabi’s offer to rejoin DiMera, so she’ll be seeing him at the office every day. Gabi asks if that’s a problem. Gabi assures that he has nothing to worry about. Shin talks about seeing people who used to date try to co-exist at the office and it not going well while he’s also seen colleagues get together, break up, and get back together. Gabi insists that she and Jake are over for good. Mr. Shin remarks that not everybody can keep their personal and professional lives separate. Gabi says she can which he says is good to know. Gabi asks if they should order another bottle of champagne. Shin says they could, or they could go back to his hotel room for a night cap.

Steve asks Tripp if he’s had any other visitors. Tripp informs them that Johnny and Chanel stopped by and Allie before them. Kayla asks how that went. Tripp admits it didn’t go exactly as he hoped. Tripp brings up still being in love with Allie, so he told Allie that. Steve asks how she responded. Tripp admits that Allie said she loved him too which would be a good thing, except she also admitting to loving Chanel. Kayla asks how he feels about that. Tripp responds that he will always care about Allie and he wants to stay in her and Henry’s life, but he wants to be with someone that is only in love with him. Steve and Kayla don’t think that’s too much to ask for. Tripp adds that Allie gets it and they will just be friends. Kayla says she’s sorry. Tripp says that what’s important is that Allie is okay. Tripp suggests they go eat since it’s getting late. Steve doesn’t want to leave him and says they can hang out but Tripp says it’s okay and he’s just going to watch TV and then sleep. Kayla mentions having a few things to do and then she’ll be ready to go. Steve tells Tripp that he loves him. Kayla encourages Tripp to rest as she and Steve then exit the room. Tripp comments to himself about being just friends with Allie and then turns on the TV.

Eric questions Kate suggesting he get back with Nicole just because he can’t spend his days serving God anymore. Roman thinks Kate is just trying to get him to look at the bright side. Eric questions what the bright side is. Roman says before that phone call, Eric had one wonderful thing to do in his life and now he can do more, he can still help people and if the opportunity arises, he could still have another chance with the love of his life.

Rafe admits to Nicole that having Eric back in town has been a little unnerving. Nicole asks if this is about him seeing them hugging earlier. Rafe says no but when he sees them together, they have a connection. Nicole says that connection is just two people with a long history. Nicole assures that Eric is her past. Nicole admits she will always care about Eric, but she’s not in love with him. Nicole asks if Rafe believes that. Nicole brings up Eric telling them that he’s staying in Salem to help Sarah at the Pub. Nicole asks if Rafe proposed just to make sure Eric didn’t come between them. Rafe says no and adds that he got the ring awhile back,so he was just waiting for what he thought was the right time to give it to her. Rafe then admits that Eric not going back to Africa may have gave him a little push, but he proposed because he loves her and wants to spend his life with her. Rafe decides that if it’s too soon and she doesn’t want to get married, then they will just forget about it and keep things the way they are.

Ava and Jake eat together at home. Jake calls the food perfect, just like the company. Ava jokes that he better stop the compliments or she’ll get used to it but that might not be such a bad thing. Jake and Ava then start kissing.

Mr. Shin tells Gabi to forgive him as he assumed what she said about keeping professional and personal lives separate applied to them, but he was being way too forward. Gabi says not at all. Mr. Shin tells Gabi that he’s intrigued by her as a business partner and as a woman that he finds incredibly attractive. He hopes the feeling is mutual. Gabi says that it is. He asks her about the night cap. Gabi then calls for the check.

Steve asks Kayla if she’s ready to go from the hospital and offers to call Roman to keep the Pub open for a late dinner. Steve notes that Kayla is distracted and asks what it is. Kayla says she’s just been thinking about Tripp. Steve knows he’s pretty sad about Allie. Kayla thinks Tripp is heartbroken and now he’s stuck here all alone. Steve asks if she could spring him early. Kayla responds that she has a better idea.

Roman tells Eric that nobody is pushing him. Kate says they are simply saying that if Eric was interested in exploring a reunion with Nicole, he could. Roman says they just want him to be happy. Eric says he’d be happy if they stopped playing matchmaker and allow him to process this because Nicole has moved on. Kate suggests Nicole doesn’t know she has other options. Eric repeats that Nicole has moved on with another man. Kate wonders if her feelings would change if she knew that Eric was available.

Nicole stops Rafe from putting the ring away and decides that he’s right about everything. Nicole declares they love each other, so she’s ready. Rafe argues that she just said he blindsided her. Nicole says that she was just surprised but now that she thinks about it, it makes total sense. Nicole calls Rafe a wonderful man, who makes her feel special, needed, and valued. Nicole says she knows and trusts Rafe, adding that Holly adores him too. Nicole tells Rafe that she’s in love with him and this is everything she ever wanted. Nicole wants Rafe to ask her the question again. Rafe proposes again and Nicole says yes, assuring that she’s ready. Nicole says she can’t wait to be his wife as they kiss. Rafe then places the ring on Nicole’s finger. Rafe calls himself the luckiest man in the world as they continue kissing.

Belle has EJ make her another drink. EJ points out that she still hasn’t told him what happened. Belle is afraid if she tells him, she’ll start screaming, crying, and throwing things so she thinks she should stick to drinking instead. EJ mentions having an excellent scotch to lift her spirits. EJ finds the bottle but realizes that Clyde Weston drank the whole bottle. Belle questions why Clyde was even in his house.

Ben is at home with Baby Bo and Clyde. Clyde jokes about the baby being named for the other grandpa instead of him. Ben points out that the last name is Weston, so he’s named after both of them.

Clyde remarks that he looks a little bit like him.

Eric goes to check on Sarah in the room above the Brady Pub. Sarah cries that she still can’t believe their daughter is gone and that Xander switched their child with Brady and Kristen’s. Sarah says she knows it’s been years. Eric hugs her as she cries and understands it’s new for her. Eric asks if there is anything he can do to help. Sarah thinks it will take time.

Nancy asks why he would since he broke his heart. Nancy tells Leo to just leave Craig alone.

EJ explains to Belle that Clyde showed up shortly after they got out of prison and he wanted to go in to business together. Belle asks if it was drugs. EJ confirms it was and assures that he didn’t go along with him. Belle can’t believe Clyde would think EJ would push drugs for him.

Nicole reminds Holly that Eric is a priest again and she is with Rafe now. Eric tells Holly that he’s just here for a short visit. Rafe thought he was going back to Africa tonight. Eric explains that he was but Sarah has a new situation so he wants to be here for her in any way he can help. Nicole acknowledges that Sarah has been through so much and none of it is her fault. Holly asks what that means. Rafe decides to take Holly to the kitchen. Holly guesses it’s so Eric and Nicole can talk, which they laugh about. Nicole tells Eric that she can’t believe Sarah thinks her baby is alive and says she told Xander to man up and tell her. Eric points out that Xander didn’t, so he had to. Nicole asks how she took it. Eric admits she was devastated for a second time. Nicole guesses she’s furious at Xander. Eric says that doesn’t even begin to touch it.

Xander explains to Sonny that in Sarah’s mind, she just found out her baby died shortly after it was born but she didn’t find out from him. Sonny guesses Sarah must really hate his guts right now. Xander feels that he just needs to talk to her and help her realize how she got through this before as she ended up realizing she still loved him. Xander notes that Sarah would’ve married him if not for Kristen. Sonny argues that Xander can’t just make her fall in love with him again. Xander says it’s just killing him to watch her go through this again. Sonny encourages him to give her time and maybe she’ll find another way to forgive him. Xander worries about if she doesn’t and then he could lose her for good this time.

Belle questions EJ having dirt on Clyde Weston that nobody knows about. EJ says he shouldn’t have said anything. Belle says she’s going to keep bugging him until he tells her and reminds him that he is her client so it will be confidential. EJ admits it’s been difficult trying to keep something like this to himself. Belle encourages that now he can share his burden with her. EJ warns her to think long and hard about whether she wants to shoulder this burden because it’s Clyde Weston and if he finds out that she knows what he knows, it could put her life in danger.

Leo argues that he cares about Craig and always will, so he just wants to know how he’s doing. Nancy argues that he didn’t care while lying to him, so it’s none of his business. Leo complains that she doesn’t have to be so hostile just because he left her for him. Nancy points out that Craig left him too and their affair didn’t last long because Craig is not stupid and he kicked his lying, young ass to the curb. Leo insists that his love for Craig was real. Nancy says if that was true, he would’ve been honest with him but he wasn’t because he never is. Nancy declares that now Leo has lost Craig forever. Leo insists that Craig will forgive him some day. Nancy laughs and says there’s no chance in Hell because Leo is going to spend the rest of his pathetic life all alone which is exactly what he deserves. Nancy starts to walk away but Leo calls her a miserable old hag and goes after her.

Xander tells Sonny that he can’t sit around hoping Sarah comes home as he has to find a way to get through to her. Xander bets she’s at Eric’s and wants to go but Sonny tells him to sit down because when he gets like this, he becomes a pushy ass. Xander remarks that he’s not taking love advice from the likes of Sonny when his husband doesn’t even live in the same state. Sonny says that’s only temporary. Xander calls it a huge mistake to give someone too much space because it’s out of sight, out of mind. Xander declares that Sonny should be reminding Will of how miserable he’d be without him, which is exactly what he’s going to do right now with Sarah. Xander then rushes out of the mansion. Sonny remarks that it won’t work.

Leo pulls Nancy’s wig off and they start fighting until Rafe and Nicole come around the corner. Rafe rushes up to break things up and tells Leo to give Nancy her wig back or else he will un him in.

Nancy informs him that Chloe is visiting her son Parker and doesn’t want any messages from him. Leo tells her to just tell Chloe that she’s on his list. Nancy asks what list. Leo remarks that she will soon find out.

Belle tells EJ that Jan already has it in for her, so what’s one more target on her back. EJ assures that he’s serious as knowing what he knows has made him a threat to Clyde and they both know how Clyde deals with threats which is why he hasn’t told anyone about this. Belle insists that Clyde won’t find out that she knows as she can keep a secret. Belle says she’s just asking him to confide in her as his friend and lawyer since she has his back. EJ clarifies that he is talking to her as his attorney, not his former sister in law. Belle then asks what Clyde did. EJ reveals that he knows for a fact that Clyde is responsible for someone’s death. Belle asks who. EJ responds that it was his.

Xander returns to the living room of the Kiriakis Mansion. Sonny asks if he came back because he realized the wisdom of his words. Xander says no but there was a package for Sonny in the foyer and he also forgot his phone. Sonny says the package is from Will and Arianna, congratulating him on his new job as Titan CEO.

Nancy compliments his beautiful family. Ben tells them to have a good time as Nancy and Clyde then exit together. Ciara comments that she seems really nice. Ben agrees and says Clyde seems to really like her.

Belle questions EJ saying Clyde shot him when everyone thought it was a mugger. EJ clarifies that Clyde didn’t pull the trigger but he lured him to the park and threatened him when things got heated, then his man shot him and they left him there to die. Belle questions why he would keep this secret. EJ responds that he had no memory of this meeting until they sent him to prison and he was put in the same cell as Clyde. EJ says it came to him and bits and pieces so it took him awhile to put the pieces together. Belle argues that Clyde is out on parole when he should be doing life in prison. Belle urges that EJ has to go to the police about this. EJ says he can’t do that because they had that meeting in the park since Clyde was running drugs for him. Belle can’t believe it. EJ says he was in a state of desperatoin and did something incredibly stupid, but if he reports Clyde then he will tell the police about him and he’s not going back to prison. Belle argues that there’s nothing that the cops want more than to put Clyde back behind bars, so she knows she could strike a deal where EJ won’t serve a day. EJ responds that is not what he’s worried about. EJ informs Belle that he confronted Clyde about what he remembered and Clyde said if he turned him in, he would take it out on his entire family. EJ adds that when Clyde was released, Orpheus let him know that the threat was real. Belle asks if they can send his kids and his mom in to hiding until they get Clyde behind bars. EJ explains that Clyde had a network on the outside the whole time in prison, so he’d just put the word out and Orpheus would back him up, so he’s not having his family live with that for years. Belle argues that he can’t let Clyde get away with this. EJ declares that he’s not going to but it might take time for his plan to be put in to action. EJ guarantees that when it is, Clyde Weston will never be able to hurt him or anyone he loves ever again. Belle asks if this plan involves killing Clyde? EJ then takes a drink. Belle advises EJ not to be an idiot and take the law in to his own hands. Belle tells EJ that she really cares about him and he’s been her brother in law for years. EJ says he never got the feeling she was fond of him. Belle admits she wasn’t but then got to know him better when she took his case and sees him differently now that he and Sami are done. Belle tells EJ to stop changing the subject as she thinks he’s going down the wrong path and if he tries dealing with Clyde on his own, things won’t work out well for him. EJ asks if he should just get over the fact that Clyde shot him in the back. Belle suggests letting her think of a legal way to bring Clyde to justice. EJ complains that it seems really time consuming. Belle says she has a lot of time on her hands now that her marriage is on the rocks. Belle suggests they get something to eat and brainstorm. Belle gets up from the couch but stumbles and admits she’s a bit tipsy. EJ decides he will have his driver take them as they exit the room.

Sonny records a video for Will and Arianna, saying he loved the cookies they sent and he’s already had two. Sonny says he loves them and misses them as he hangs up. Leo enters and greets him. Sonny questions how the hell he got in. Leo says that Henderson has a crush on him. Sonny tells him to say what he wants and then get out. Leo offers him a fruit basket as a peace offering. Sonny turns it down and threatens to have him thrown out.

Sarah hates that she’s doing this to Eric. Eric says he wants to be here for her as he knows how it feels when Kristen DiMera is after you. Eric tells Sarah that she will always be his friend and she can hide out here as long as she wants. Sarah thanks him and says she might take him up on that since Xander keeps calling and she’s sure that he’s staked out at the Kiriakis Mansion. Xander then knocks on the door, saying that they have to talk.

Sonny tells Leo that he doesn’t have time for his games. Leo claims he was just congratulating him on getting his old job back. Sonny brings up that last time he saw Leo, he vowed to ruin his life. Leo claims that was so yesterday. Sonny knows revenge is Leo’s favorite activity. Leo brings up his run in with Nancy that got unpleasant and claims it made him realize all his anger isn’t good. Sonny mocks him having a growing experience. Leo says this is him turning over a new leaf. Sonny asks if the fruit basket is poisoned. Leo says there’s only one way to find out and takes a bite.

Clyde and Nancy walk through the town square. Nancy tells him about her run in with Leo and says she doesn’t know what would’ve happened if Rafe didn’t show up. Clyde wants her to point Leo out if she sees him while they are together. Nancy calls it sweet of him to be so protective. Clyde calls her his woman. Nancy doesn’t want to talk about Leo anymore. Nancy mentions that it was so nice to meet Ben, Ciara, and their baby. Nancy talks about how good looking Ben is. Clyde jokes that good looks run in the family. Nancy then kisses him on the cheek.

Eric answers the door. Xander asks to speak to Sarah alone. Sarah tells Eric to say and then tells Xander to say what he needs to say and then go. Xander tells Sarah that he’s just so sorry as he didn’t know how to tell her about Mickie and he lied which was wrong and it’s not the first time he’s mucked things up between them. Sarah cries that Xander played God with her life. Xander says he was not trying to hurt her. Sarah says everybody has tragedies and the only way to get over them is to get through it. Xander insists that he will change and learn if she can forgive him. Xander points out that she forgave him before. Sarah tells him that she’s not the same woman anymore. Xander argues that they were going to get married and they were so happy. Sarah doesn’t know what she was thinking then and declares that there is no way she could ever marry him now.

Clyde gives Nancy flowers. They then run into EJ and Belle in the town square. Clyde comments that it looks like he’s not the only one with a hot date tonight.

Update written by Joseph

The DiMera Board Meeting is interrupted by a video call from Kristen DiMera, shocking EJ and Chad. Gabi asks what the hell she’s doing here. Kristen responds that she heard there was going to be a meeting of the DiMera Shareholders and they should know they can’t have a vote without Kristen DiMera.

Belle calls Jan a sick and twisted human. Jan tells her to back off because she’s upsetting the baby. Belle yells at Jan that her insane plan is never going to work. Shawn comes home and questions what is going on. Jan claims that Belle just came in out of nowhere and started screaming at her. Belle explains to Shawn that Jan asked her to come over because she wants to turn her office into a nursery. Shawn questions that being true. Jan argues that the baby is going to need somewhere to sleep so she was being practical. Belle calls it evil and argues that she is just trying to drive her and Shawn further apart which has always been her goal in life. Jan asks why she would bother when she’s already doing a fine job of that herself.

Tripp wants to go back to what he asked Allie about whether she loves Chanel. Allie doesn’t respond so Tripp thinks he just got his answer which Allie questions. Tripp explains that he asked her if she loved Chanel and then he saw how she jumped in to her arms before. Allie argues that she was just emotional and relieved. Tripp asks if Allie’s feelings for Chanel are not in the past.

Johnny tells Chanel that he hasn’t stopped thinking about her for one minute. Chanel feels they shouldn’t get in to this. Johnny just wanted to remind her that what he said to his family after they got married about being totally committed to her hasn’t changed. Johnny wants to be here for her and support her through everything. Johnny declares that he still loves her and then kisses Chanel. They say they missed each other. Johnny asks if she has any plans tonight. Chanel says no, so Johnny suggests they get married again. Chanel questions him wanting to get married tonight. Johnny knows it seems sudden and he gets it, but says the Devil made him sign their divorce papers and he doesn’t remember anything until the Devil jumped out of him. Johnny brings up that they were newlyweds in love before that. Johnny remembers being so happy and wanting to tell the world, so he wants them to be that way again.

Jan worries that this tension is not good for the baby. Belle blames Jan for calling her over just to provoke her. Shawn asks Jan for a moment alone with Belle. Jan argues that she’s the one on bed rest. Belle decides that she wants Jan to hear the answer as she asks Shawn if he wants to turn her office in to a nursery. Shawn assures he would never ask her to do that as that space is hers. Jan guesses their baby will have to sleep in Claire’s room and since she will have nowhere to go, she will move in to theirs and asks if they are all cool with that.

Kristen says she’s trying not to be offended that no one bothered to tell her about this meeting. EJ points out that they didn’t know where to find her. Chad questions how she even heard about it since they scheduled it like two hours ago. Kristen responds that she has her ways and what’s important is that she is here. Gabi tells her that she’s a little late to the party. Chad explains that the votes are already in, so another vote for them won’t change anything. Gabi adds that she is already out of the company. Jake clarifies that the vote is 6-5 so Kristen’s vote would just make it 7 but Kristen says not if she votes against the motion.

Chanel tells Johnny that part of her wants to go running in to his arms and pretend the last couple months didn’t happen, but it did and she can’t just let go of what happened. Johnny argues that it wasn’t even him and asks if they could turn back time to when they were happy and hopeful and Allie and Tripp were too. Chanel asks how they could do that. Johnny feels nothing has really changed since then but Chanel argues that it has and the world didn’t stop just because he doesn’t remember it. Chanel says things change and people changed. Chanel informs Johnny that one thing that happened was Allie realizing that she was bisexual, so when she thought Johnny didn’t want her and Tripp broke up with Allie, they decided to see if they could make things work but then she thought Allie broke up with her and now she knows that she didn’t any more than Johnny did. Chanel admits she still loves Johnny, but she also loves his sister.

Allie tells Tripp that she and Chanel hadn’t seen each other since she almost died and since Chanel realized that everything she had been doing and saying the past few weeks hasn’t really been her. Tripp asks if she means how Chanel thought she dumped her and told her that she didn’t love her which Allie confirms. Tripp points out that Chanel still loves her and it was pretty clear to him, so he asks if Allie loves her too. Allie then admits that she does.

Belle tells Jan that there is no way in hell that she’s going to sleep in her bedroom and asks why she wouldn’t sleep in the same room as her baby. Jan explains that she read it’s better for the child to have their own room. Belle argues that the baby will need to be fed and changed so it makes sense for the first few months. Jan says the baby is kicking and asks if Shawn wants to feel. Jan then brings up Shawn not getting to with Claire since he thought she was Philip’s baby. Belle calls her a hateful bitch and asks if she wants to start this. Jan asks if Shawn is going to let Belle threaten her. Shawn asks if they can just be civil. Jan says she can and asks Shawn if Ciara said she could babysit baby Bo. Shawn responds that Ciara was sleeping, so he didn’t get a chance to ask her. Belle questions him being serious as she thought Jan was joking about a homicidal maniac looking after her baby. Jan argues that Ciara is married to Ben and that she wouldn’t be alone with the baby since Shawn would be with her. Jan thinks it would help prepare her for raising their child. Belle argues that Jan won’t be raising her child because her baby will be a teenager by the time that Jan gets out of prison. Jan says she’s not sure about that as she thought about her sentence being suspended. Belle says there’s no chance. Jan asks if Belle thinks she’s going to raise her kid and declares that will never happen. Belle warns that she will make sure Jan doesn’t raise her baby.

EJ and Chad question Kristen voting against them when they are her brothers. Kristen asks if no one in the family has ever gone against their siblings before. EJ and Chad wonder what Kristen is doing. Kristen acknowledges that her vote would make it a tie which Mr. Shin confirms the motion would not pass and then Gabi would retain control of DiMera and Jake would keep his job. Mr. Shin tells Kristen to vote whenever she’s ready. Kristen then confirms her vote for no and congratulates Gabi and Jake, leaving EJ and Chad in shock.

Allie talks to Tripp about growing up in a crazy family and always having her mom with a revolving door of husbands and boyfriends, so she just cared about not being like her and wanting to settle down with a stable family with someone kind. Tripp acknowledges that he didn’t grow up in a stable home either and had to work hard to be the kind of guy to depend on. Allie calls him the best person she knows and says she really thought her, him and Henry could be a family. Tripp questions being a normal family.

Johnny asks if Chanel is saying she only married him because she thought she couldn’t have his sister. Chanel clarifies that in the last couple of months, she got dumped by Johnny, dumped by Allie, then got drunk and almost jumped in to bed with Tripp. Johnny complains that it was all based on lies told by The Devil. Chanel says she still hasn’t been able to process that and adds that now her mom is in jail for killing Lani’s dad. Johnny encourages that Chanel loves him, which she admits. Chanel feels she’s not ready to make any major decisions right now and asks if he understands that.

EJ asks if they are really going to allow Kristen to hijack this meeting. Gabi says that’s what he did. Chad argues that this can’t be valid. Mr. Shin states that a vote is a vote. EJ argues that Kristen is a fugitive from justice and is wanted for a myriad of crimes. Mr. Shin points out that Stefano made sure that wouldn’t be an issue. EJ questions what Kristen is thinking when she is their sister. Kristen points out that she is also Jake’s sister. Chad argues that she doesn’t even know him which Kristen admits. EJ asks why the hell she’s doing this then. Kristen calls it just so much fun.

Jan questions if Belle is saying that she would stop her from seeing her baby just to keep her away from Shawn. Belle threatens to petition the court that Jan is unfit to be a mother. Jan asks if Shawn will let that happen. Shawn complains that it’s months away. Jan cries that Belle hates her baby so she doesn’t want her anywhere near it. Belle clarfiies that she doesn’t hate her baby, she hates her. Jan tells Belle it’s too bad because she is having her husband’s baby and they are going to be parents together forever. Belle yells at Jan to stay out of her marriage and calls her a vindictive psycho. Jan then grabs her stomach in pain and complains that something is wrong with the baby. Jan says that it started when Belle started yelling at her. Shawn asks Belle to get some water but Jan says no and that she needs to go to the hospital. Shawn then helps Jan out of the house as she cries for him to not let anything happen to their baby, leaving Belle looking worried.

Allie asks Tripp what he means by saying a normal family. Tripp wonders if part of the reason life with him was so appealing to her was because she didn’t have to deal with her feelings of being bi. Allie assures she doesn’t have a problem with being bi. Tripp points out that she kept saying she was straight until he was out of the picture. Allie states that she was figuring things out. Tripp tells her to face that being with Chanel is a lot more complicated than being with him. Allie agrees but says being gay is not one of the reasons. Allie brings up that they work together and she’s not stable or dependable. Tripp thinks Allie finds Chanel unpredictable and exciting, like herself.

Johnny tells Chanel that his head has been spinning too. Chanel asks why rush in to anything. Johnny knows nothing is guaranteed and talks about fighting in the Crypt to get back to her, only to find out that he divorced her and she moved on with his sister. Chanel asks if now he’s saying he wants a do over. Johnny asks if that’s crazy. Chanel admits that it’s sweet. Johnny asks if she’s not saying no then. Chanel confirms that it’s just a wait and see.

Kristen asks if EJ really has to ask why she’s not on his side. Kristen reminds EJ that he refused to represent her the last time she was in police custody. EJ argues that he sent her an attorney. Kristen complains that was a stranger and he wouldn’t even come to the police station to check on her. Chad understands Kristen wanting to punish EJ but thinks she punished him enough since his wife could’ve died. Kristen claims she took excellent care of Abigail while Chad argues that she drugged and abducted her. Kristen complains that Abigail was sticking her nose in other people’s business. Kristen claims she’s protecting Chad from being a hypocrite by accepting her help with this vote. Kristen adds that Chad would have had her arrested if she didn’t elude him on the island which Gabi agrees with. Kristen thanks Gabi and remarks that she knows who her real friends are. EJ argues that Gabi is not Kristen’s friend. Gabi declares that she is now. Kristen points out that Gabi also brought in Jake, so the company still has a DiMera presence, which Chad and EJ laugh at. Jake argues that he’s just as much of a DiMera as they are and they weren’t raised in the family. Gabi points out that she is also a DiMera as Stefan’s widow. Kristen remarks that she is the most DiMera of all of them even if she’s not blood related because her father raised her right. Kristen then hangs up the video call, leaving Gabi, Jake, and Mr. Shin pleased while EJ and Chad are distraught.

Belle arrives at the hospital and sees Johnny with Chanel. Belle asks what Johnny is doing at the hospital. Johnny responds that they just came to check on Tripp. Belle asks if he’s okay. Johnny says he thinks so and that Allie is in with him now. Chanel remarks that she’s sure Tripp is probably feeling better already because she’s sure he and Allie are probably getting back together as they speak…

Allie tells Tripp that she has no idea what Chanel is going to do. Tripp says it doesn’t really matter to him as he wants to be with someone who loves him with their whole heart. Allie understands and says he deserves that. Allie cries that she can’t stop thinking about what he did for her as he risked his life so she could keep her life. Tripp responds that he’d do it again because he thinks the world is a much better place with her in it. Tripp adds that it doesn’t mean she owes him anything. Allie asks if he thinks she is here out of obligation. Tripp thinks that she is grateful and that she cares about him, but he doesn’t think she is in love with him. Allie starts to cry but Tripp tells her that it’s okay to let him go. Tripp states that would be the nicest thing she could do for him. Allie asks if this is goodbye then.

Shawn gets Jan in a hospital room. Jan says she’s so scared. Shawn encourages that cramping is normal which is why bed rest is so important. Jan blames Belle for attacking her and trying to take away her baby. Shawn tells her not to get worked up and assures everything will be fine. Jan can’t help but worry about losing their baby and cries that she already loves the child so much. Shawn tells her that everything is going to be okay as Belle listens in from outside the room.

Gabi declares that the motion to install EJ and Chad as CEOs instead of her has been defeated. Mr. Shin congratulates Gabi and Jake. EJ calls it insane. Gabi asks EJ to leave her office. Jake offers to escort him out. EJ warns Jake not to enjoy this so much. Jake points out that EJ enjoyed ousting him. EJ responds that he did and he will again. Jake says until then, he’ll walk him out personally. Chad assures they are leaving. EJ warns that they haven’t seen the last of them. EJ and Chad then exit. Mr. Shin steps out to make phone calls. Gabi tells Jake that she didn’t think Kristen would come through. Jake encourages that Gabi did it as they hug.

Belle enters Jan’s hospital room and says she came to see how she was doing. Jan doesn’t think she cares. Belle asks what the doctor said. Shawn says that Jan is fine and it was just cramping and dehydration. Jan insists that it was stress caused by Belle. Jan tells Shawn that she doesn’t want Belle here because she will start attacking her and trying to take her baby. Jan asks Shawn to make Belle leave. Shawn asks Belle if they can go grab a cup of coffee so they can talk, but Belle says no because he needs to be here for his child and she needs to be anywhere else. Belle then exits the room.

Chad and EJ go home to the DiMera Mansion, complaining about Kristen. Chad looks to Stefano’s portrait and asks if he’s happy now because they are doing exactly what he taught them and tearing each other apart. EJ guesses this explains Peter switching sides as Kristen must have gotten to him. Chad asks what to do now. EJ declares that he’s not stopping until DiMera is theirs.

Jake and Gabi get close until Mr. Shin comes back in. Gabi says they can’t leave him out of the celebration and hugs Shin, who says he’s happy for her. Gabi says she was so certain that she was out. Shin says there’s never a dull moment with the DiMeras. Gabi doesn’t even know why Kristen did it. Jake encourages that she knows Gabi is the best person for the job. Gabi tells Mr. Shin that now they have even more reason to celebrate. Gabi suggests they get drinks first. Jake says that sounds good to him but Gabi says she meant her and Mr. Shin. Jake questions Gabi not wanting him there. Gabi says she’s grateful for him closing the deal but they have to get him up to speed on a project and he has to start running numbers. Jake asks what’s with Gabi and argues that one minute she’s trying to start things up with them again and the next, she’s freezing him out. Gabi says that was before the vote and now that they are working together again, they should keep things professional like Jake said he wanted. Gabi remarks that she’s just keeping it the way Jake wanted. Gabi then exits the office with Mr. Shin.

Tripp assures Allie that this isn’t goodbye as he will always be apart of Henry’s life and her life as a friend. Allie cries that she doesn’t want to lose him. Tripp insists that she won’t ever as they are bonded for life. Tripp promises they will figure things out together going forward. Allie thanks him for everything and says she will never forget any part of it.

Johnny asks if Chanel thinks Allie and Tripp are in there getting back together. Chanel responds that she knows Allie better than anyone but Johnny says not better than him. Johnny then gets a text about the DiMera Shareholders meeting. Johnny tells Chanel that EJ had promised him a job but it sounds like the whole thing just went up in flames. Chanel asks if he really wanted that job. Johnny asks what else he has since his producer was murdered, his movie is in the scrap heap, and his life is basically imploding. Chanel tells him that she’s really sorry. Johnny says he didn’t mean to lay all of that on her and that this is all kind of new to him. Johnny talks about girls coming easy to him and he’s never had to be patient before. Chanel asks if he’s saying he’s willing to wait. Johnny responds that if they have any chance at all, she is more than worth the wait. Chanel assures that there is a chance. Chanel confirms that she does love Allie, but she still loves Johnny too, right as Allie comes out in tears from Tripp’s room. Chanel and Johnny ask if she’s okay and what happened. Allie responds that she will be okay, but her and Tripp just ended things. Allie cries that it’s not like they weren’t already over, but they are done. Chanel brings up that she has to get back to the Bakery so she exits the hospital.

Shawn brings Jan home and asks if she needs anything else. Jan says she just needs him because she’s still kind of shaken up. Jan apologizes for making him send Belle away. Shawn doesn’t want to discuss Belle with her. Jan claims she didn’t do it to hurt him, but to protect their baby. Jan declares that as long as Shawn keeps Belle away from her and their child, they will be fine.

Belle goes to the DiMera Mansion and asks EJ how the meeting went. EJ responds that he’s drowning his sorrows as they lost. Belle is shocked and asks how that happened. EJ reveals that Kristen showed up virtually and ruined their plans. Belle questions why Kristen voted for Gabi. EJ says it was just to spite he and Chad. Belle says she’s sorry as she knows how much he wanted it. Belle adds that Jan Spears just did the same thing to her marriage which EJ calls terrible. EJ offers Belle a drink. Belle tells him to make it strong. EJ asks if she wants to talk about it. Belle responds that she really doesn’t. EJ asks what she would like to talk about. Belle was hoping they could just sit here and wallow in their mutual misery. EJ agrees and declares they will hope tomorrow is a better day as they toast their drinks.

Gabi and Mr. Shin have drinks at the Bistro. He brings up the dynamics between Gabi and Jake and questions if he’s just here to make Jake jealous. Gabi assures that this is not what this is and she wants him here. Shin asks if she’s sure. Gabi says that Jake ended their relationship and has made it clear multiple times that they are through. Mr. Shin points out that Jake seemed to be second guessing that choice just now. Gabi says Jake just doesn’t like to lose and if he really cared, he wouldn’t be wasting his time with Ava Vitali. Mr. Shin recognizes Ava’s name from the Vitali mafia family and calls that an interesting choice. Gabi remarks that Jake’s taste in women leaves a lot to be desired. Mr. Shin says not always which Gabi takes as a compliment. Mr. Shin asks Gabi what she would call this in terms of mixing business and pleasure. Gabi responds that she doesn’t work with him on a daily basis and she doesn’t hate him so it’s all good in her book. He asks if she’s saying she’s available. Gabi responds that she could be and then they toast to them.

Jake remains the DiMera office and gets a video call from Kristen. Jake tells her that the rest of the gang have left. Kristen says she’s aware which Jake questions. Kristen says it’s best not to ask and she wanted to talk to him as she thought they could have a little chat as brother and sister. Jake asks if she’s looking for sibling bonding. Kristen says something like that. Jake asks what she has in mind. Kristen responds that she’s a practical type and something tells her that he is too. Jake asks what she wants. Kristen states that she just did him a big favor because if Gabi was ousted, EJ and Chad would have thrown him out on his ass. Jake asks if she wants him to thank her. Kristen only cares about his actions. Kristen declares that Gabi is CEO for now, but she’s not a DiMera and they are. Kristen has a feeling that they are going to do great things together…

Chanel says she’s just a nervous wreck because of her mother at the police station. Johnny mentions hearing she was arrested and says he’s so sorry. Chanel says it doesn’t feel real that her mom shot and killed somebody. Johnny asks how she’s doing. Chanel says she’s putting on a brave face and saying everything is going to be okay. Chanel worries about Paulina going to prison and argues that it’s not right. Johnny hugs Chanel as she cries.

Jan claims to Shawn that she was on the phone with a sales person, ordering a baby outfit to surprise him. Shawn thinks it’s a little early but Jan says it was for Ciara’s baby so he can give her sister something special to celebrate her son’s arrival. Jan claims that Shawn has done so much for her so she thought she could do something for him. Jan asks if he’s going to thank her for being so thoughtful which he sarcastically does.

Mr. Shin walks in, so Gabi reveals it was for him.

Jan asks Shawn if she can see a picture of Ciara’s baby so she can picture him in his outfit unless that’s asking too much. Shawn shows her a photo on his phone.

Gabi quickly says Jake probably has plans with his roommate and that she was looking forward to spending some time with Mr. Shin alone.

Johnny tells Chanel that it sounds like TR got exactly what he deserved and he obviously had no idea what kind of horrible man he was when he got in to business with him. Chanel cries that no one did but Paulina and she is so scared of the price she will have to pay. Chanel adds that she’s also worried sick about Allie. Johnny asks if she’s seen Allie since. Chanel thought it would be best if she had time with Henry and Lucas first as she’s been through such a nightmare. Chanel asks if Allie is really okay. Johnny assures that she is as she doesn’t remember most of it which is a blessing. Chanel acknowledges that Johnny has been through a nightmare too so she’s sorry. Chanel points out that at least he saved Allie in the end. Johnny clarifies that he didn’t save her, Tripp did.

Allie tells Tripp that she heard what he did for her and doesn’t know how she will ever be able to thank him. Tripp tells her that she doesn’t have to. Allie asks if he’s kidding since he told Satan to take him instead of her, let the Devil possess him, and threw himself through a window. Tripp declares that he had to stop him and make sure he couldn’t hurt her again. Allie points out that Tripp could’ve died and did for a little while. Tripp jokes that he’s a hard guy to kill.

EJ asks what Chad needs to say. Chad thinks they have all spent enough time focused on regrets, so they need to look forward now.

Chad decides he will call Mr. Shin to let him know they need to get the shareholders together.

Gabi asks if Mr. Shin would enjoy a little one on one time tonight. Mr. Shin agrees that it would give them a chance to brainstorm about their next acquisition.

Mr. Shin thinks that’s a big mistake but he’s with Gabi and Jake now, so he will let them know. Chad says he’ll see him at 4:00 and hangs up. Gabi asks what that was about. Mr. Shin reveals that Chad and EJ are calling a shareholders meeting for today at 4. Gabi argues that they can’t let them do this. Mr. Shin tells Gabi not to panic as she has him and Jake on her side so he’s confident they will walk away victorious. He tells Gabi that he will see her at the meeting and tonight, they will celebrate as he then exits the office. Gabi remarks that she’s so screwed.

Jan tells Shawn that the idea isn’t as crazy as he thinks. Shawn repeats that there is no way Ciara will feel comfortable leaving her alone with her son. Jan argues that Shawn can be there with her and she’ll just be there to assist. Jan says Ciara would be doing it for her future niece or nephew so they can be confident and capable parents. Jan asks Shawn to ask Ciara and say that he will do all the work while she just observes. Shawn agrees to ask but tells her not to get her hopes up because he’s almost positive it’s going to be a hard no. Jan is still grateful that he’s willing to do this for her. Jan asks him to ask Ciara now. Shawn says he was going to go check on her, so he will ask her then. Jan tells him how much it means to her as Shawn then exits the house.

Chanel questions Tripp risking his own life to save Allie. Johnny confirms that Tripp jumped out the window. Chanel can’t believe Tripp did that after Allie cheated on him with her, destroying their wedding and future plans. Johnny says that Tripp said none of that mattered because of the way he felt about her. Chanel thought Tripp hated Allie and would never forgive her. Johnny responds that it’s not about forgiveness but about love, and when you love somebody that much, you’ll do anything for them. Johnny remarks that he knows how that feels..

Tripp tells Allie that she might not believe that he still feels this way about her because of how hostile he’s been. Tripp adds that it’s hard to admit even to himself but Steve and Kayla helped him see that his anger was just his way of hiding how hurt he was. Tripp says when he found out that Allie had been possessed and that her body had been violated by this evil being, it reminded him of Charlie. Tripp brings up that he promised to never let her get hurt like that again. Allie argues that he didn’t need to protect her and she never expected him to do that. Tripp admits he never expected that he would, but when he heard her life was in danger and that he could lose her forever, it made him realize that he still loves her. Allie feels what he did was too much. Tripp disagrees since he wanted Allie to live and for Henry to have his mom, so he was going to do anything he could to make that happen no matter what it cost him. Allie points out that it almost cost him his life. Tripp feels he had no choice because of how he feels about her. Tripp tells Allie that she doesn’t have to say anything. Allie responds that she does because she needs to tell him how she feels about him. Allie then declares that she still loves him too.

Gabi and Jake go over how the votes are going to go. They say they have 4 while EJ, Tony, Chad, and Kate are against them. Jake guesses they will also have Peter Blake and Johnny. Gabi thinks they should just concede. Jake argues that the Gabi he knows would not give up that quickly. Gabi asks what else to do. Jake says they will make phone calls to see who they can flip since they need a majority. Gabi refuses to call Kate, so Jake decides to call her. Jake starts to tell Kate what’s going on but she hangs up on him. Gabi asks if they can give up now but Jake says not a chance.

EJ asks Belle how things are going between her and Shawn. Belle mentions running in to him when they brought Ben and Ciara’s baby to the hospital so they went together and it was really nice to see Shawn hold his nephew for the first time. Belle says they were having a moment and then Jan called and ruined it. Belle adds that Jan called her earlier too and said she had something to talk to her about but she wouldn’t tell her over the phone. EJ asks if Belle is going to go see her. Belle thinks she’d rather ignore her. EJ suggests telling her to her face that she’s not going to ruin her marriage. Chad comes back in and announces the meeting is all set. Belle wishes them luck and says to let her know how it goes as she exits the mansion.

Chanel tells Johnny that she wants to go see how Tripp is doing since they got close. Johnny acknowledges that Tripp saved his sister’s life, so he’d like to thank him for that. Johnny offers to go with her. Chanel admits she’d like that and they walk off together.

Allie argues that Tripp can’t be that surprised since even after everything blew up with them, she still wanted to marry him and raise Henry with him. Allie talks about his determination and courage to do what he did to help her. Allie says she still loves him and feels so grateful. Tripp asks what about Chanel since after they broke up, she and Chanel became a couple. Allie still feels terrible that Johnny told him before she got the chance to. Tripp is just glad that she’s here now, being honest about how she feels, but he wants her to be honest about everything. Tripp asks if Allie still has feelings for Chanel.

Jan sits alone, reading Parents Weekly magazine, until Belle arrives and asks what she wants. Jan guesses she doesn’t have time to ask how her pregnancy is doing which Belle confirms. Jan then asks Belle to clear out her home office because she wants to turn it into a nursery for her and Shawn’s baby.

EJ tells Chad that they have a little time before the meeting, so he’d like to propose a toast and to thank him for agreeing to be partners. EJ reminds Chad that he knows Stefano would be proud to see his sons coming together. EJ places a glass on the mantle at Stefano’s portrait and then toasts to the DiMera Legacy, their family and future.

Jake finishes a call with Peter and tells Gabi that they got him, so one more vote and they’ll have a tie. Gabi thinks she can get Johnny to vote in their direction. Jake tells her to work her magic. Gabi then calls Johnny, who is at the hospital with Chanel. Johnny tells Chanel that it probably has to do with DiMera, so he’s going to take the call and catch up with her. Johnny answers the call and asks what’s up. Gabi says she’s looking forward to seeing him later at the meeting and she wanted to thank him because she wouldn’t be where she is without him. Gabi talks about how they worked so well together and had the same vision and goals. Johnny reminds her that wasn’t him, that was Satan, and he’s not even going to be at the meeting. Johnny says EJ has his proxies so he can’t help her. Gabi thanks him for nothing and hangs up. Jake says to forget him and press on but Gabi says it’s over and she’s out.

Tripp tells Allie that he’s not naïve and he knows it’s possible to love two people at the same time. Tripp believes that Allie still loves him, but he needs to know if she loves Chanel too. Chanel then enters the room. Chanel and Allie embrace as Chanel talks about how she was so worried about her. Chanel asks if she’s really alright. Allie assures that she’s fine as they hug while Tripp watches on.

Chad and EJ go to the DiMera Office and greet Jake and Gabi. Jake questions if they seriously think they are going to win this thing. EJ states that this thing is his family’s legacy and he thinks that he and Chad are going to permanently take back control of DiMera from an incompetent interloper. Gabi goes to set up the video feed. Mr. Shin arrives and repeats that he’s not happy about this meeting but he begins the meeting and asks who would like to speak first. EJ says he will and brings forth the motion to remove Gabi from her position as CEO. Mr. Shin agrees to read the proxy votes first. He reads that Theo, Kate, Tony, and Johnny vote in favor of removing Gabi from CEO. Gabi reveals her proxy vote from Steven Hawk. Mr. Shin then asks for those present. EJ and Chad vote in favor while Gabi and Jake vote against. Mr. Shin declares the vote now stands at 6 votes to remove Gabi and 3 to retain her. Mr. Shin calls upon Peter Blake on the video chat who votes to keep Gabi. EJ stands and angrily calls him a bloody traitor as the video disconnects. Chad tells EJ that it’s fine as there’s no way they can win, even with Mr. Shin’s vote. Shin then votes no, so the final tally is 6 to 5, so Gabi will be removed as CEO. EJ and Chad celebrate. Mr. Shin admits he’s very dismayed at the outcome but says he will call the meeting to a close, until suddenly someone else calls in to the meeting.

Belle argues that Jan cannot be serious. Jan argues that the baby needs a place to sleep and her office is the best option. Belle declares that there is no way in Hell that she is giving up her office, reminding Jan that this arrangement of her staying here is temporary because as soon as the baby is born, she’s going back to prison. Jan asks what about the baby because they will need a place to be, regardless of where she is. Jan adds that she plans to be right here with Shawn and their baby.

Chanel asks Allie again if she’s sure she’s okay. Allie says she is and asks if Chanel is okay because Johnny said something is going on with her mom. Chanel admits there is so much going on. Allie adds that Johnny also told her how bad she hurt her. Allie tells Chanel that she’s so sorry. Chanel says it wasn’t her fault and all that matters is that she’s back. Allie feels there’s so much to say and catch up on as they really need to talk. Chanel agrees and hugs Allie again as Tripp continues watching on. Johnny then walks in and greets them, saying he didn’t know Allie would be there. Johnny asks how Tripp is feeling. Tripp says not bad and asks what brings him by. Johnny says he and Chanel just wanted to see how he was feeling after that Superman move. Tripp feels his powers didn’t work that well but Chanel encourages that he saved Allie’s life so they couldn’t be more grateful. Johnny assures Tripp that his whole family owes him a lot and calls him a real hero. Tripp doesn’t know about that but Allie says she does. Johnny says they didn’t mean to interrupt so they will give them time and check back later. Chanel tells Allie they will talk. Johnny tells them to feel good as he and Chanel exit the room. Allie knows Tripp is supposed to rest and asks if he wants her to leave too but Tripp says he’d really like it if she stayed. Allie asks if there’s something else he wants to talk about. Tripp wants to go back to what he asked her about whether she loves Chanel. Allie doesn’t respond so Tripp thinks he just got his answer.

Johnny tells Chanel that it’s been a wild ride. Chanel hopes it’s over for good. Chanel says she should get back to the Bakery and says she’ll see him later. Johnny stops her and knows she has a ton going on right now, but he wanted to tell her how sorry he is for everything that he put her through. Chanel says it’s okay as she knows it wasn’t his fault. Johnny tells her that he hasn’t stopped thinking about her for one minute. Chanel feels they shouldn’t get in to this. Johnny just wanted to remind her that what he said to his family after they got married about being totally committed to her hasn’t changed. Johnny wants to be here for her and support her through everything. Johnny declares that he still loves her and then kisses Chanel.

Belle questions Jan planning to be here and if she plans to break out of prison to be with her baby. Jan clarifies that she’ll probably be released on good behavior and she’s sure the judge will go easy on a new mother. Jan adds that she will come here as often as possible. Belle knows she’s trying to get under her skin and stir up more drama between her and Shawn, but it’s not going to work. Belle declares that Jan is not going to destroy her marriage. Jan points out that Belle is the one who moved out. Belle assures that she and Shawn love each other and are committed to each other forever. Belle adds that Shawn is only letting Jan stay here because she guilted him into it. Jan asks if that’s why Shawn went to ask Ciara if they could babysit baby Bo. Belle laughs and says Shawn would never let her anywhere near his nephew. Jan informs Belle that Shawn is at Ciara’s right now, running the idea by her and says she can call him if she doesn’t believe her. Belle calls her a psycho. Jan asks her not to resort to name calling. Belle calls Jan a sick and twisted human. Jan tells her to back off because she’s upsetting the baby. Belle yells at Jan that her insane plan is never going to work. Shawn comes home and questions what is going on.

Mr. Shin asks if they were expecting anyone else to call in. Chad says no. Jake suggests one of their sure things changed their mind. EJ questions who. Gabi says they’ll find out and accepts the video call, revealing Kristen DiMera, who asks if they forgot about her.

Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

Eric questions why he would help Xander after he blew up his marriage. Xander clarifies that he’s not asking for himself, but for Sarah. Xander explains that Kayla gave Sarah the antidote so she’s completely back to normal but for some reason, she doesn’t know that their daughter Mickie died.

Nicole questions Sarah showing up at her door and saying she’s there to get her baby. Sarah tells her that Mickie was there which Nicole questions. Sarah says that Xander said she was with Eric and since Eric and Nicole lived together, she assumed she was here. Nicole doesn’t know what Xander told her. Sarah says it’s okay because she knows that Nicole told Eric that Mickie is his daughter.

Lani questions Paulina getting to make all the decisions and she has to go along with them. Paulina says when it comes to protecting her from a murder charge, yes. Paulina declares that she’s done arguing and she’s going to plead guilty while Lani lives a long, happy life with her family. Lani says she can’t let Paulina take the fall for something she did.

Eli and Abe discuss the possibility of Lani shooting TR which would mean Paulina is innocent and covering for her daughter.

Chanel runs in to Julie in the town square and says she was on her way to see Paulina at the police station. Julie feels Paulina deserves a medal for what she did. Julie knows Chanel’s love and support will mean the world to Paulina. Chanel gives Julie a package from the bakery and sends her love to Eli. Julie thanks Chanel and tells her to tell Paulina that everyone knows she did nothing wrong. Julie then walks away.

Abe and Eli wonder if Paulina didn’t kill TR but is protecting Lani. Eli points out that they can’t jump to any conclusions, but if there’s more to the story, he can’t be blindsided by it so he needs to talk to Lani.

Paulina reminds Lani that if she confesses, she will lose her career, her husband, and her kids. Lani asks about what Paulina will lose. Paulina argues that she will claim self defense and a jury might believe her. Paulina feels that what happened is entirely on her because she is the one who made the mistake of trusting TR and getting close again. Lani understands that she thought he changed. Paulina says she knew better and asks Lani to let her do this. Lani argues that she will still know what she did and asks how to do her job like that. Lani asks how to face her husband or talk to her children about courage and honesty without being a complete hypocrite. Lani doesn’t want to live like that. Lani declares that she needs to tell Rafe the truth right now.

Eli mentions that Lani just went to the police station to see Paulina but he doesn’t think this can wait. Abe questions him going there to see her. Julie arrives and says she was so worried when Eli wasn’t in his room but a nurse said she would find him here. Julie questions what Eli is doing out of bed. Eli says he just came to say hi to Abe and see what he’s been in to since he’s been asleep. Julie reminds Eli that he collapsed last time he got out of bed. Eli assures that he’s feeling better now. Julie worries that he just got out of a coma so she wants to take him back to his room to rest. Eli says he’s sorry but he has to run as he rushes out of the room. Julie questions what could possibly be so urgent.

Paulina tells Lani that she can’t tell Rafe the truth. Lani says it’s not up to her. Paulina refuses to let her do this. Chanel then arrives and questions what they are arguing about. Paulina tells her that Lani was just blaming herself for not seeing through TR sooner. Paulina tells Lani to go back to the hospital and be with Eli which Chanel agrees with. Lani decides to go then. Lani hugs Chanel and exits.

Eric is shocked to know that Sarah thinks Mickie is alive. Xander says her memory is completely fine otherwise but around the baby, there’s this glitch. Eric questions Sarah being released from the hospital then. Xander says he thought it was too soon but her brain scans came back normal. Eric asks if this glitch will wear off. Xander says it hasn’t yet since Sarah went straight to the nursery and thought Mickie had kidnapped, so he panicked because Sarah was demanding answers so he may have told her that the baby was with Eric. Eric questions why he didn’t just tell her the truth. Xander says he panicked on how to protect Sarah and he couldn’t let her go through the pain of finding out her baby died all over again. Eric warns that maybe Xander was just afraid that Sarah was going to hate him all over again.

Sarah tells Nicole that Xander explained everything about Nicole telling Eric that he is Mickie’s father. Sarah talks about keeping this huge secret in the first place. Sarah asks about taking her baby home and when she hears noise, she assumes Eric is getting up. Sarah is then shocked to see Rafe come out from the shower in just a towel. Sarah questions if Nicole is cheating on Eric and then asks why Rafe is here. Nicole tells her that she doesn’t understand. Sarah doesn’t think she wants to and says she just needs to get her baby, Mickie, which Rafe questions. Sarah asks why he’s looking at her like that. Nicole tells Sarah that Mickie is not here which Sarah questions. Nicole then reveals that she and Eric have split up.

Eric tells Xander to admit he lied to Sarah because he’s a selfish coward. Xander argues that he was protecting Sarah because she’s been through enough. Eric questions him justifying him lying about her own child. Xander feels he couldn’t put her through all of that again. Eric argues that he’s just trying to prevent his own suffering. Xander asks if Eric is going to help Sarah or not. Eric argues that Maggie cannot be okay with this. Xander admits that she’s not and is adamant that he tell Sarah the truth which he plans to do. Eric demands that he tell Sarah the truth today because Sarah is going to notice when no one brings the baby home. Xander looks over at Eric’s bag packed and says he might have a fix for that.

Chanel asks how Paulina is doing. Paulina says she’s slept in worst places. Chanel gives her comfort food from the bakery. Paulina starts to eat and praises the food while Chanel tries to tell her that they need to talk. Paulina continues on so Chanel yells at her to stop talking about the damn pastry.

Eli goes back to his hospital room and starts getting dressed. Lani arrives and questions what he’s doing. Eli responds that he was coming to talk to her. Lani urges him to get back in the bed as he’s nowhere near ready to leave the hospital. Lani reminds Eli that they waited so long for him to wake up so he shouldn’t push it. Eli apologizes. Lani says she’s here now so she asks what is so important. Eli says it’s about Paulina because he’s not so sure that she’s guilty.

Julie asks Abe why Eli was racing out of here. Abe says that Eli is concerned with the situation with Lani. Julie thinks Paulina deserves a parade, not prison time. Abe knows she feels strongly about this. Julie points out that TR nearly killed Eli, Abe, and Lani, so he had to be stopped if Paulina hadn’t blown him away. Abe then reveals to Julie that is not what happened.

Eric feels he isn’t going to like Xander’s fix. Xander suggests telling Sarah that Eric and Nicole went on a trip together and took Mickie with them which will buy him time to break the news to Sarah, since she still thinks Eric and Nicole are together. Eric reminds Xander that Nicole has moved on with Rafe. Xander tells him to pretend and says they’ll be doing a good deed for Sarah. Xander asks if he will do it, but gets a call from Maggie, who informs him that Sarah is gone. Xander realizes she must be looking for Mickie and runs out of the Pub, leaving Eric having doubts at the Pub.

Sarah questions Nicole about her and Eric splitting up and asks what happened. Nicole calls it complicated. Sarah says it doesn’t matter as she just needs to find Eric and get her baby. Sarah thanks her and quickly exits.

Julie asks what Abe means by saying that’s not what happened. Julie goes over TR attacking Abe and then turning on Paulina when Lani came in and then Paulina shot him to save the people she loved. Abe admits there was no love lost between he and TR because TR was obviously just a horrible man. Abe believes that TR convinced himself that he cared for Lani as his daughter, so he doesn’t think TR would have killed her because he loved her. Julie argues that he wouldn’t have shot her husband if he loved her that much. Abe says she’s probably right. Julie insists that TR only cared about himself and Paulina knew it, so she shot him, which makes her a hero to her.

Paulina questions what has gotten in to Chanel. Chanel complains that Paulina is going on like they are lounging at the pool instead of being at the police station. Chanel suggests that she take this seriously. Paulina argues that her lawyers are taking care of everything. Chanel says that doesn’t mean she’s going to walk away like she’s innocent. Paulina assures that she’s worrying over nothing. Chanel worries about Paulina getting put away for years and cries that she’s scared as she doesn’t know what she’ll do if she loses her.

Lani questions Eli not thinking Paulina is guilty and asks why he would say that. Eli says there’s a few things and brings up Lani first telling him that Paulina “said” she shot TR. Eli finds the phrasing strange and asks why she would put it that way if she was there and why she wouldn’t just say that Paulina shot TR. Lani says she was upset and just saw her biological father get murdered, so she guesses she wasn’t forming perfect sentences. Lani asks if there’s anything else Eli wants to grill her on. Eli decides they can talk about it later but Lani insists on doing it now and says she’s ready for his next question. Eli brings up TR being shot with Lani’s service weapon. Lani sticks to Paulina’s story that she grabbed the gun from her holster. Eli then reveals that he just finished talking to Abe, who thinks he heard Paulina say “what have you done”. Eli asks why she would say that. Lani asks how she should know. Eli suggests maybe Paulina was asking Lani that question, because Lani shot TR.

Xander goes to Nicole’s in a panic, asking where Sarah is. Nicole responds that she left to go find her baby that died years ago and asks if Xander cares to explain what that’s about.

Sarah goes to the Brady Pub. Eric tells her that it’s so nice to see her and asks how she’s feeling. Sarah says she’s great which Eric is happy to hear. Eric says he’s sorry for everything she went through. Sarah doesn’t remember much of it but says she’s fine and out of the hospital, so she feels like her old self and ready to be a good parent to their child. Sarah talks about Eric finding out he is her baby’s father and that he and Nicole have broken up. Eric says things are fine between them and they have both moved on. Sarah mentions just going to Nicole’s and seeing her with Rafe. Sarah says she is desperate to hold their little girl, so she asks Eric to go get her.

Julie guesses that Abe never got the chance to tell Paulina about his feelings. Abe confirms TR knocked him out before he could. Julie argues that Abe should be running to the police station now. Abe thinks Paulina has a little more on her mind now than his feelings. Julie asks what could be more important than telling her that he wants her back. Abe doesn’t think it’s the right time. Julie asks if he’s changed his mind.

Paulina assures Chanel that she’s not going to lose her. Chanel cries that she doesn’t know that and brings up Paulina promising everything would be okay when her dad died. Paulina promises not to leave her no matter what. Chanel worries that she might not have a choice. Chanel can’t believe this is happening as they were finally in a good place after years of conflict and fighting. Chanel loved being close to her and being able to see her whenever she wants. Paulina says that’s not going to change. Chanel wants to believe her but after her dad, Johnny, and Allie, she cries that no one ever stays. Paulina insists that she’s not going to prison as she has complete confidence in her lawyers and needs Chanel to have confidence in her. Paulina adds that if the worst happened, she won’t be alone since she would still have her grandma. Chanel argues that she lives in Miami and she’s not moving back there when she has her Bakery to run. Paulina encourages that Chanel has family here too in Lani and Eli and their kids, who will always be there for her. Chanel says she loves them but they’re just not her mom.

Lani questions Eli thinking he shot TR. Eli clarifies that he’s just asking. Lani argues that it’s something Abe may have heard while barely conscious. Eli brings up the other reasons. Lani questions Eli interrogating her. Eli knows she understands as a cop. Lani remarks that she didn’t realize that she was a suspect. Eli points out that she still hasn’t answered his question. Eli adds that he’s on her side no matter what and he wants to help her, but he can’t unless he knows exactly what’s going on. Eli assures that whatever it is, they will get through it together. Eli tells Lani that he loves her but he has to know who really shot TR. Lani then admits that it was her. They sit together as Lani explains that it all happened so fast. Lani tells him that she walked in to Paulina’s apartment with her gun drawn and she saw TR about to hit Paulina while Abe was on the floor bleeding. Lani thought about all the pain caused by TR and she wanted to be the one to stop him, so she did. Lani says she went there to arrest him for what he did to Eli but she killed him. Eli argues that she saved Abe’s life. Lani points out that she also shot an unarmed man. Lani swears that she was going to take responsibility but Steve walked in and Paulina just blurted out that she shot TR. Lani says she was in shock, so she just went along with it, but not anymore. Lani tells Eli that she went to the police station to tell Paulina that she wasn’t going to let her take the blame but Paulina said she would lose her career, family, and her whole life. Lani states that Paulina begged her to let her do this for her but she cannot let Paulina go to prison for her. Lani declares that Paulina won’t listen to her but maybe Eli can help convince her that she can’t do this and that it’s crazy but Eli responds that maybe it’s not crazy.

Abe assures Julie that he hasn’t changed his mind about Paulina but he thinks the timing is off. Julie disagrees. Abe questions Julie thinking that he should declare his love while Paulina is sitting in a jail cell. Julie can’t think of anything more romantic. Abe appreciates her encouragement but thinks it’s best if he waits. Julie says she can’t make him but warns him not to wait too long because she thinks it’s something Paulina needs to hear as something she can hang on to.

Xander questions why Nicole would tell Sarah that she broke up with Eric. Nicole says because it’s the truth. Xander calls it thoughtless but says he can still save this. Xander suggests Nicole tell Sarah that she and Eric got back together and are now heading off on a late honeymoon. Nicole questions Xander wanting her and her ex-husband to pretend that they are on vacation with his baby daughter that died tragically years ago. Nicole calls it insane. Xander asks her to be a team player but Nicole refuses. Xander guesses this is payback for him blowing up her marriage to Eric, so now she wants his plan to go bust. Nicole argues that it won’t help and will only make things worse. Nicole says the longer Xander doesn’t come clean with Sarah, the harder it will be to keep Mickie’s death a secret. Rafe agrees but Xander says no one asked him. Nicole reminds Xander that he’s been down this road before and every day that he tries to keep this a secret, the more he loses control and risks Sarah finding out the truth from someone else. Nicole encourages that if Xander goes to her now, he can make sure she hears it in a caring, sensitive way, from him.

Sarah asks Eric if Mickie is upstairs but Eric says no. Sarah asks if she’s with Marlena but Eric says she’s not with his mom, his dad, or his sister. Sarah questions where she is then. Eric takes Sarah to sit down. Sarah asks what’s going on. Eric says there is something he needs to tell her and it won’t be easy to hear. Sarah says he’s scaring her and asks if it’s about Mickie. Eric declares that it’s time that she knows.

Lani questions Eli not thinking it’s crazy for Paulina to go to prison for something that she did. Eli thinks Paulina has a point that Lani has a lot more to lose. Lani argues that they are police officers and took an oath to uphold the law and be accountable for their actions. Eli argues that he took a much more important oath to her. Eli declares that he cannot let her go to prison as he and their kids need her. Eli warns that she’d be looking at hard time. Lani asks what he’s saying. Eli thinks it would be better for everyone if she just let Paulina take the fall.

Paulina tells Chanel that they’ve been through scary times before and encourages her to remember how strong they are. Chanel doesn’t feel strong. Paulina hugs Chanel as she cries and assures they’ve got each other. Paulina promises her that everything will be just fine.

Rafe helps Nicole find one of Henry’s toys. Rafe thought what Nicole said to Xander was very nice. Nicole says she kept a lot of secrets that she wishes she hadn’t, so she thought she would help him out. Rafe calls that very generous considering everything Xander had done to her. Rafe calls it one more reason that he loves her as they kiss.

Xander returns to the Pub to see Sarah crying in Eric’s arms. Xander questions what’s going on. Sarah turns to Xander and asks how could he as she then storms off. Xander glares at Eric and sarcastically thanks him.
