Update written by Joseph

Allie questions Tripp about Chanel and Johnny almost having sex, asking when Chanel told Tripp that. Tripp tells her it was when he ran in to her in the town square earlier. Allie argues that it’s a very private thing to tell a guy that she barely knows. Tripp agrees but thinks that Chanel was just really excited as she seems very in to Johnny.

Chanel asks if Johnny believes her now that she’s over Allie. Johnny calls it a start but thinks he’ll need more convincing so they continue kissing.

Philip is at the Brady Pub when he gets a call from Chloe. Philip asks how New York is. Chloe reveals that she’s not there yet because the DiMera Jet had some type of mechanical problem mid-flight. Chloe says she’s fine but she and Brady are stranded in the middle of nowhere.

Shawn finishes a call with Claire as Ben and Ciara enter. Ciara asks how Claire is. Shawn says she’s good and loving her job in South Africa. Ciara asks if Claire said anything about Theo. Shawn assures that he’s doing alright. Shawn asks what Ciara and Ben are doing here. Ciara then informs Shawn that she and Ben are leaving Salem. Shawn questions them leaving town right after Claire. Ciara clarifies that they aren’t leaving permanently. Shawn says she should’ve said vacation then instead of leaving town. Ciara apologizes. Shawn says he was just getting used to having her back. Shawn asks what it is. Ben brings up that they never had a real honeymoon, so they are going to take off for a little while.

Philip asks Chloe where they are. Chloe says they are on a private air strip near Wilkes-Barre and they are stranded until they fix the jet. Philip calls it a nightmare. Chloe says she had to tell Parker she won’t be seeing him tonight and they had to reschedule their meeting. Philip knew this trip was a bad idea and hopes that Brady is taking charge to get her out of there as soon as possible. Chloe assures that it’s not Brady’s fault. Chloe mentions staying at a motel. Philip gets upset and questions her and Brady staying in a motel. Chloe assures that it’s just for tonight. Philip says it better be and tells her to call him when she gets to New York. They say goodnight and hang up. Brady then shows up at Chloe’s door, soaking wet and declares it’s officially the business trip from Hell.

Belle enters the Brady Pub and sees Philip slam his laptop shut. Belle asks what’s wrong. Philip responds that Brady is still after Chloe and he’s not being subtle about it.

Tripp hopes he didn’t betray Chanel’s confidence by telling Allie about her and Johnny. Allie says that Chanel would’ve told her eventually and asks if she mentioned why they didn’t hook up. Tripp says it was because neither of them had a condom. Allie says thank God for that which Tripp questions. Allie points out that Chanel could get pregnant. Allie says she loves Henry but he deserves to have a father. Tripp asks if she doesn’t think Johnny would step up. Allie calls Johnny more of a love em and leave em type, which is why she doesn’t think it’s a good idea that he and Chanel are dating. Allie declares that somebody is definitely going to get their heart broken.

Johnny tells Chanel that it’s the cook’s day off so all he has is peanut butter and jelly sandwiches which she accepts. Chanel looks to the portrait of Stefano and asks who he is. Johnny informs her that it’s Stefano DiMera. Chanel comments that he looks like the guy you don’t mess with. Johnny admits a lot of people were afraid of Stefano, but he was always good to him. Johnny adds that Stefano is the one who called him Giovanni. Chanel asks which he prefers to be called. He says he’s used to either one, so she can call him whatever she wants, as long as she calls him.

Philip informs Belle that now Chloe and Brady are staying in a motel tonight. Belle doesn’t see how Brady is trying to take Chloe away from him. Philip doesn’t think the jet just happened to have mechanical problems as Brady could’ve paid off the pilot to fake an emergency landing. Belle asks what he’d get out of that since they were staying overnight anyways. Philip argues that in New York, Chloe would’ve been with Parker and her parents while now Brady has her all to himself in the middle of nowhere. Belle questions him believing that Brady would deprive Chloe of seeing her son just to get her alone. Philip thinks Brady would stoop to anything to get Chloe back as he does not trust him one bit.

Chloe gives Brady a towel and asks why he’s so wet. Brady informs her that he walked in to his motel room and found an elderly couple going at it. Brady says he tried to leave but the old man called him a pervert and dumped a bucket of ice water on him as he was walking out. Chloe laughs at the story. Chloe jokes that she’s grateful that the old man didn’t hurt him. Brady jokes that he’ll never be able to forget what he saw in there. Chloe guesses they double booked the room. Brady mentions that they don’t have any other rooms available because they are painting. Chloe asks what he’s going to do then. Brady was hoping he could stay in Chloe’s room. Chloe questions if Brady is telling her the truth.

Shawn asks Ben and Ciara where they are going for their honeymoon. Ciara mentions that Ben wanted to just go back to the cabin. Ben points out that he just fixed it all up. Ciara tells him he did a great job but they just got back from there and it’s not honeymoon material, which Ben and Shawn agree with. Ciara informs Shawn that they decided on a place important to Hope and Bo, New Orleans. Shawn recalls Hope and Bo’s first wedding being there. Ciara calls it a big turning point for them. Shawn says they had some great years after that. Ben says they will too.

Brady questions Chloe thinking he made this up. Chloe says it sounds a little convenient and that he has been open about his feelings for her. Brady jokes about the idea of paying off the pilot and the desk clerk then the old man who dumped ice water on him. Chloe points out that he still hasn’t answered her question. Brady tells her no, he did not plan any of this and he thinks she knows her too well to do something this underhanded. Brady remarks that it’s more Philip’s style. Chloe tells him not to start on Philip since he’s not a saint either. Brady admits that he doesn’t like that Chloe is with Philip, but he respects her decision. Brady adds that if she’s not comfortable with sharing a room with him, he will go sleep in the lobby. Chloe stops him and agrees to let him stay the night. Brady thanks her but Chloe notes that Philip won’t be happy about this.

Belle tells Philip that he’s being paranoid as no one is trying to take anything from him. Belle adds that his fries are getting cold while he’s ranting about Brady. Philip insists that he’s not wrong about this and that Belle could help him prove it. Philip says Belle works for DiMera, so she must know how to get in touch with the pilot. Philip asks Belle to give him a call and say she heard about the emergency landing. Belle tells him that Brady is still getting over Kristen, so he’s not spending his time trying to win Chloe back. Philip points out that Brady found time to take Chloe as his date to Eric and Nicole’s anniversary party. Belle calls that platonic but Philip points out that Brady also kissed her. Belle points out that Brady being interested in Chloe doesn’t mean she is interested in him. Belle tells Philip that Chloe chose him and asks if he trusts her. Philip tells Belle to call the pilot.

Chanel and Johnny finish their food. Chanel asks what they do now. Johnny suggests going to the pool. Chanel notes that she doesn’t have a swimsuit. Johnny says he doesn’t either but they can still go. Chanel doesn’t want everyone looking and says she was raised with class. Johnny doesn’t know if she will like his next suggestion then. Chanel says she’ll probably go for it if it’s not being naked in front of everybody. Johnny suggests they run upstairs to his room and pick up where they left off last night. Johnny adds that he came prepared this time. Chanel asks how she could say no.

Tripp tells Allie that he thinks Johnny was just as in to Chanel as she was in to him. Allie argues that if Johnny truly liked Chanel and respected her, he wouldn’t have tried to get her in bed after one date. Tripp guesses the feeling was mutual but Allie insists that Johnny is using Chanel. Allie decides that she has to go have a talk with her brother and it can’t wait. Tripp offers to go with her but Allie says this is between her and Johnny, so she’ll be back in a little while. Tripp questions if that’s really a good idea as Allie hurries out the door. Tripp then wonders what just happened.

Brady questions Chloe thinking that Philip would have a problem with them sharing the same room for just one night. Chloe argues that he knows that he would since he hates the idea of them even taking a trip together. Brady informs Chloe that Philip said he would kill him if he was inappropriate. Chloe notes that Philip would definitely think it’s inappropriate that they are sharing a motel room. Brady asks if he really has to know. Chloe questoins lying to Philip. Brady suggests just not telling him. Chloe calls that a lie of omission. Brady jokes about it then says she can tell Philip and watch him freak out, but adds that he’s not afraid of him. Chloe asks how she gets herself into these messes. Brady thinks she should ask herself why she wants to be with someone that she can’t be honest with.

Belle argues that Philip isn’t thinking this through. Philip asks what there is to think about. Belle says even if Brady paid off the pilot to make an emergency landing, the pilot wouldn’t admit it. Philip agrees and suggests offering him a lot of money. Belle says she won’t help him bribe somebody. Philip calls it a favor for an old friend. Belle notes that he’s starting to sound a little desperate. Philip says that he is as he feels like this is his last chance at getting things right with Chloe, so he can’t let her slip through his fingers again. Belle calls it a short trip and asks what could happen. Philip brings up the time Brady and Chloe went to North Dakota to find Chloe’s biological father in the summer after high school. Philip notes that things were going well for he and Chloe but Brady came in and stole her away from him. Belle argues that Brady didn’t set out to do that and was just trying to help her. Philip feels it doesn’t matter because he still lost her. Philip declares that he’s not going to let history repeat itself, so he’s going to get himself to Wilkes-Barre, Pennyslvania before it’s too late.

Shawn asks when Ciara and Ben are heading out. They say they are leaving tonight. Ben says they should get going but Shawn invites them to stick around for dessert that Belle is bringing from the Pub. They agree to stay. Shawn adds that as they wait, he can give them their wedding present which ties in to their honeymoon.

Ava goes to Allie’s apartment where Tripp answers the door and asks what she’s doing there. Ava explains that she made too much food for dinner so she thought she’d use it as an excuse to come see her grandson. Tripp informs her that Henry isn’t there as Steve and Kayla are babysitting. Ava says that’s disappointing but asks if Tripp and Allie already ate. Tripp informs her that Allie isn’t home either. Ava questions her leaving him there all alone and where she went.

Allie goes to the DiMera Mansion to confront Johnny, interrupting he and Chanel. Johnny asks what she thinks she’s doing. Allie responds that she could ask him the same question.

Philip remarks that no one better be using the Titan jet. Belle takes Philip’s phone and says she’s saving him from making an ass of himself. Philip argues that Brady could be making his move right now. Belle suggests they play this out. Belle says if Philip goes to Wilkes-Barre and barges in to Chloe’s room, where she’s most likely sleeping alone. Philip points out that she said most likely so she left room for doubt. Belle asks how that will make him look to Chloe. Philip feels like a man in love while Belle says he’d be like a total psycho. Philip says he can bring flowers and champagne and say he came to surprise her. Belle feels she would see right through that and that Philip doesn’t trust her, which could drive her right in to Brady’s arms. Belle tells Philip to stop his paranoid jealousy and chill out.

Chloe tells Brady that she can be honest with Philip about everything except Brady. Brady asks why that is. Chloe says for one thing, they used to be married. Brady reminds her that a couple months ago, she said she wanted him back. Chloe reminds him that he said he wasn’t interested so she got over him, even when he kissed her. Brady notes that he wasn’t aware she had gotten over him when he kissed her. Chloe assures that she has and she’s still over him. Chloe states that Brady is just a touchy subject with Philip. Brady says that Philip is just insanely jealous. Chloe argues that Brady pushes his buttons. Chloe feels there was no reason for her to come on this trip and that Brady only asked her to come because he knew it would upset Philip. Brady says he asked her to come because she’s a vital asset to the company. Chloe questions him having no other agenda and tells him to be honest. Brady admits he likes spending time with her and asks if that’s wrong. Chloe says it is wrong since she has a boyfriend. Chloe declares that the problem here isn’t Philip, it’s Brady.

Tripp eats with Ava and comments that he can’t believe Rafe didn’t finish it. Ava points out that Rafe didn’t eat any of it since he called at the last minute and said he was working late. Tripp tells Ava about Allie’s twin brother Johnny just showing up a few days ago and he’s already dating Allie’s friend Chanel. Tripp adds that Allie just found out tonight and she’s not too happy about it. Ava asks why. Tripp says that she said Johnny is a player so she went to tell him to back off. Tripp notes that she was pretty worked up. Ava asks what has Tripp so bothered about this. Tripp explains that Allie says she needs to stop Johnny from hurting her best friend, but this friend is pretty good at taking care of herself. Tripp wonders if Allie is so protective because she’s jealous.

Chanel questions what Allie is doing here. Allie says she’s here to talk to her brother and asks what Chanel is doing here. Johnny says they are on date so Allie can wait until tomorrow. Allie questions if they are going upstairs to finish what they started last night. Johnny asks how she knows about that. Chanel apologizes for over sharing. Johnny argues that it’s not a problem. Allie says it is because she doesn’t want Johnny charming her friend in to bed like he does every other girl he meets. Allie warns Chanel that if she sleeps with Johnny, he will just move on to the next one. Johnny argues that she doesn’t know anything about him. Allie says he used to come home and brag about it to her. Johnny says that was five years ago. Allie questions if she’s really changed. Johnny doesn’t like Allie trashing him in front of Chanel and tells her to go. Allie says she’s sorry but she’s not going anywhere.

Ava brings up Tripp telling her that Allie and Chanel kissed once. Tripp reveals that it happened twice and that Allie admitted that she felt something for Chanel. Ava questions if she found herself attracted to an old friend. Tripp says it doesn’t matter because she chose him instead. Ava asks why Allie is so bothered that her brother is friends with Chanel. Tripp doesn’t know and it bothers him. Ava tells Tripp that if an old friendship is suddenly turning in to something new, he can’t tell himself that it doesn’t matter or it’s not happening. Ava advises Tripp to talk to Allie and find out exactly where he stands, or else he might find himself as the odd man out and that’s a lonely place to be.

Johnny tells Allie to go. Allie argues that this is what Johnny always does, sleep with girls and then toss them aside. Johnny swears he would never do that to Chanel. Allie thinks he is already playing games. Johnny tells her it’s none of her business. Johnny tells Allie to go live her own life with Tripp and stay out of his. Johnny tells Allie again to go but Chanel decides she will leave and let them sort this out. Johnny tries to stop her but Chanel says it’s getting late anyways and exits. Johnny asks Allie if she’s happy now.

Shawn’s wedding gift to Ciara and Ben is a copy of the book of poetry that Bo gave Hope for her 18th birthday. Ciara tells Ben that her grandpa Shawn gave it to Bo right before he joined the marines. Shawn notes that Hope gave him a copy when he and Belle got married so he felt it was his responsibility to carry on the tradition. Ben says it means so much to him and thanks Shawn. Ciara says the same. Shawn mentions bookmarking a poem that Bo and Hope read to each other at their weddings. Ben jokes that he’s starting to feel pressure to live up to that love story. Shawn calls it an incredible one, much like Ben and Ciara’s. Ciara agrees. Shawn wonders what’s taking Belle so long and says if they have to go, they can. Ben decides they should get going to find a place to stop. Ciara thanks Shawn for the book and suggests maybe they’ll give it to a kid of theirs someday. Shawn tells them to have fun on their honeymoon as Ben kisses Ciara.

Philip tells Belle that she knows the history between he, Brady, and Chloe, so he thought she would be a little more understanding. Belle says those that ignore the past are condemned to repeat it. Philip asks what that has to do with him. Belle reminds him that she told him in high school that jealousy would ruin his life and she’s still trying to get that through his skull. Philip complains about sitting back and doing nothing. Belle brings up tracking down Chloe in North Dakota and paying off the sheriff to arrest Brady. Philip worries that they were going to stay in the same room if he hadn’t showed up. Belle argues that nothing would’ve happened since Chloe was faithful to him, but he couldn’t believe it so he screwed it all up and now he’s doing it all over again. Belle advises Philip to finish his food then go home to sleep. Belle suggests he try trusting Chloe for a change and seeing how that works. Philip decides that Belle got through to him, so he won’t do anything stupid. Belle says she has a pie to deliver to Shawn. Philip thanks her for talking him down and hugs her, calling her a good friend. Belle then exits the Pub.

Brady doesn’t know what Chloe is so afraid of. Brady says even if he wanted to come between Chloe and Philip, he wouldn’t be able to since her relationship is so solid. Chloe tells Brady that she gave them a chance to be together and opened up about her feelings for him, but he couldn’t do that to Kristen. Chloe declares that Brady made his choice and even though she thought Kristen was bad for him and that she could make him happy, she kept her distance and even offered to quit her job to give him space. Chloe cries that now that she’s chosen to be with Philip, Brady won’t do the same thing and she doesn’t think that’s fair. Brady argues that Chloe only made that choice was because Philip said that if she was with him, Kristen would be a threat. Chloe stops him and calls it a rotten, long night. Chloe doesn’t want to argue with him so she suggests just calling it a night as she storms off to the bathroom.

Tripp and Ava walk through the town square. Ava thanks him for walking her home. Tripp doesn’t think Allie is coming back anytime soon so he’s going to head home. Ava is sorry things are a mess and asks him to keep her updated. Tripp thanks her for the dinner and says Rafe doesn’t know what he’s missing. Ava hugs Tripp and says she loves him so much. Ava then walks away. Tripp turns around and runs in to Chanel. Tripp comments that tonight was crazy as he can’t believe her new guy is Allie’s brother. Chanel notes that Allie is definitely not happy about that. Tripp mentions Allie taking off after him to have it out. Chanel informs him that she was there when Allie showed up. Tripp asks how it went. Chanel tells him to talk to Allie about that and says goodnight as she walks away.

Johnny blames Allie for Chanel leaving. Allie remarks that she got out just in time. Johnny asks what that’s supposed to mean. Allie brings up Johnny hooking up with her friend Katie and then dumping her a week later. Allie says he didn’t care what that did to her, but she saw that Katie was a wreck and she was afraid she would hurt herself. Johnny insists he’s not like that anymore. Allie points out he was trying to get Chanel in to bed after their second date, so it’s a good thing that she got there before he could. Johnny asks if she’s jealous. Allie says she’s with Tripp and Chanel is her friend and that’s it. Johnny doesn’t know if he believes that and doesn’t think that Allie does either.

Brady prepares to sleep in the chair. Chloe says he’ll need another blanket but Brady insists he will be fine. Chloe brings up Brady being shot and being in a car accident recently. Brady assures that he’s comfortable and tells her to go to bed. Brady says goodnight as Chloe gets in to bed. Brady suddenly feels he’s not sleepy and asks if she minds if he reads. Chloe tells him to just get in the bed. Brady doesn’t want to make her uncomfortable. Chloe tells him to just stay on his side. Brady agrees if she is sure. Brady then gets up and gets in to bed next to Chloe, putting a blanket in between them. Brady admits the bed is much nicer and thanks her.

EJ argues that Xander hasn’t broken any laws, so if she tries to file charges, he’ll work his magic again and it will be a waste of her time. Melinda then agrees to turn over the money, but warns them about civil suits from the families of drug overdose victims. Melinda then exits the interrogation room. EJ tells Xander that they know every dollar in that briefcase is his.

Chad tells Jack that it was good to see him, but he’s going to get out before he runs in to Gwen. Jack says he hasn’t seen her last night and was starting to worry. Gwen then comes home, so Chad says he wasn’t quick enough. Gwen greets Chad, while Jack questions where on earth she has been.

Calista asks about dinner, the dress code for the wedding, and her room in the mansion. Calista assumed Bonnie would put her up in the mansion. Bonnie notes that the house is pretty crowded already and offers her a room at the Salem Inn. Calista remarks that she wouldn’t want to be any trouble. Calista tells Justin that it was lovely meeting him and she hopes to see them at the wedding. Bonnie then walks Calista out. Calista warns Bonnie to come up with the money or she will be staying single.

Johnny and Chanel go back to the DiMera Mansion. Johnny says they didn’t get to have dinner, so he can ask the cook to make some, but Chanel says she’s not that hungry. Johnny notes her not saying much and asks if that has to do with the scene Allie made. Chanel can’t believe Allie and Johnny are brother and sister. Johnny says the last couple of days have been fun, but her having a thing for Allie makes things complicated. Chanel asks if it does for him or for her.

Tripp brings Allie home and notes that she was pretty quiet on the way over, so he asks if she’s upset that Chanel is seeing her brother. Allie calls it weird and admits she really hopes it doesn’t last.

Gwen claims to Jack that she went to bed early and then went to an early meeting with an employment counselor and spent the rest of the day walking. Jack notes that she didn’t say anything about an employment counselor. Gwen says she can’t expect him to keep her forever. Chad asks what the counselor said. Gwen claims they said she would need a reference from her last job but she knows that would be a problem, which Chad confirms. Gwen decides to go make some tea and exits the room. Chad tells Jack that he’s sorry but he can’t tell an employer that Gwen was a good nanny with how things ended. Jack gets it and promises to talk to Jennifer in hopes that she can get through to Abigail. Jack assures Chad that Abigail loves him and asks him not to give up on their marriage. Chad responds that he doesn’t intend to.

EJ and Xander walk back through the town square. EJ says it was a pleasure doing business with him and he’ll take the money now. Xander says not until EJ gets him his old job back at Basic Black. EJ says that Brady is on a business trip to New York while Nicole has been out sick all week, so when they are back in the office, he will follow up. Xander argues that EJ is the top man at DiMera Enterprises, so he could snap his fingers and make this happen. EJ says he’s done everything he said so far. EJ argues that the money belongs to him. Xander argues that Sami paid him willingly and that he did EJ a favor, since exposing Nicole got the ball rolling or else Sami could still be cheating on him, so he should be thanking him. EJ tells Xander to shut up and give him the briefcase now.

Bonnie heads back inside where Justin comments that Calista is quite the character. Justin is surprised Bonnie never mentioned her before. Bonnie says she was out of sight, out of mind, and then appeared out of the blue, so she felt she had to invite her to the wedding. Justin relates to similar experience with family members being on the spot. Bonnie thanks him for understanding. Bonnie then claims to Justin that the caterer wants the full payment before the wedding, so she thought he could just write a blank check and she would fill in the amount later. Justin tells her there’s no need, as it’s all taken care of. Justin tells her not to worry as all she has to do is show up looking beautiful and then they can start their new lives together. Bonnie cries that she wants that life so much. Justin adds that it’s great that Calista is there to have someone from Bonnie’s side of the family since her kids can’t make it.

Johnny doesn’t care if Chanel kissed Allie as long as she is sure that she’s over her. Chanel assures that she is. Johnny hopes so because he doesn’t want to be in a rivalry with his sister over her. Chanel states that Allie is with Tripp now and Allie’s happy, while she is too. Johnny says he is happy too then as they kiss.

Tripp asks Allie what bothers her about Johnny and Chanel dating. Allie talks about Johnny being her best friend growing up and now she feels she doesn’t even know him. Allie says Johnny was a total jerk tonight and worries about him being a jerk to Chanel. Tripp encourages that Chanel can take care of herself. Allie hopes they break it off before it gets serious. Tripp then reveals that Chanel told him that she and Johnny almost slept together last night.

Jack finishes a call. Gwen comes in and asks what’s wrong. Jack informs her that he just got some news that upset him. Jack reveals that Xander hired EJ to represent him and EJ found a way to get his case thrown out, so Xander is going to walk and get away with what he did to Gwen. Gwen tells Jack that it’s okay. Jack warns that Xander better stay away from Gwen.

Xander tells EJ that he can challenge him to a duel or he can make good on the rest of their agreement while he holds onto the money. Xander adds that when he gets his job back at Basic Black, he’ll hand over the million dollars. EJ warns him about trying anything. Xander gives EJ his room number at the Salem Inn and they walk their separate ways. Calista comes around the corner in the town square and gets a call from Bonnie. Calista asks if she got the money. Bonnie admits she tried to con Justin in to writing a blank check but her heart wasn’t in it and she failed which upsets Calista. Bonnie suggests that maybe after the wedding, Justin will open her up a bank account. Calista complains that after Bonnie marries Justin, she’ll never see her money. Calista informs Bonnie that she has a better idea, as she knows exactly where she can get a million dollars.

Update written by Joseph

Allie goes to the hospital with Henry and greets Kayla after Henry’s one year checkup. Allie talks about Henry doing great. Kayla tells her that she’s off but it was good to see her. Allie stops her to ask her how Tripp is doing.

Chanel walks through the town square while carrying a heavy box. Tripp appears and offers to help her.

Tony and Anna sit at home in the DiMera Mansion. Tony offers to take her out but Anna says she just wants to spend the afternoon with him alone at home. Anna comments that it’s almost like they have privacy. Tony suggests they make the best of it. They kiss until someone seems to be watching from the doorway. Tony stops and says he feels like they are being watched. Anna blames the portrait of Stefano. Tony says it’s something else and calls out for Harold, asking if it’s him. It turns out to be Johnny, who comes in filming on his phone and surprises them.

At the Pub, Steve asks Justin why he needs to brace himself. Justin tells him that it’s about Bonnie. Justin knows she is not his favorite person and their double date was a disaster. Steve stops Justin and tells him that he doesn’t have a problem with Bonnie anymore.

Bonnie sits in the living room of the Kiriakis Mansion, writing her name as Bonnie Kiriakis. Bonnie says it has a ring to it but then looks up and sees a photo of Justin and Adrienne. Bonnie picks it up and says she did Adrienne wrong in every way possible, so she’s going to spend her life making up for it and the best way she can do that is by doing her damndest to make sure she makes Justin just as happy as she did. Someone then enters the room, causing Bonnie to exclaim that she can’t believe they are alive. Bonnie then collapses to the floor.

Kayla tells Allie that as far as she knows, Tripp is fine. Kayla asks if she wants to talk about something bothering her. Allie says maybe another time since Kayla was on her way out. Kayla suggests now and says she was just meeting Steve at the Pub but he can wait. Kayla asks her what’s up. Allie informs Kayla that the other day Tripp told her that he loved her and she didn’t say it back. Allie doesn’t know if Tripp talked to her about it but says things got awkward afterwards. Allie asks if Kayla thinks Tripp is upset about it.

Chanel thanks Tripp for helping her with the box and says it was a mixer for the bakery. Tripp questions Allie not helping her out with it. Chanel says she would’ve, but Henry had a doctor’s appointment this morning for his one year checkup. Tripp can’t believe it’s been a year. Chanel says a year ago, she was all that and now she’s just the Salem dough girl. Tripp still thinks she’s kind of all that. Chanel asks what makes him say that. Tripp tells her that Allie told him that she’s already landed someone new.

Tony and Anna tell Johnny that it’s wonderful to see him and talk about how he’s all grown up. Anna recalls Johnny being creative as a chlid with a fine imagination. Johnny responds that he’s going to need it to do what he wants to do. Tony questions if that’s spying on people. Johnny argues that he wasn’t spying. Tony asks what he calls filming people without their knowledge. Johnny says it’s making footage and encourages that the camera loves them. Johnny jokes that he’ll make them both stars because he’s making a movie. Anna and Tony question him doing that on his phone. Johnny shows them how the footage looks like just a movie camera. Tony calls it all very interesting. Johnny says it will revolutionize film making which is why he tracked them down. Johnny says he’s in the process of tracking down investors and Tony and Anna could bankroll the entire enterprise.

Justin questions Steve not having a problem with Bonnie anymore. Steve says he’s been working to get past it and he’s sorry for being so hard on her as it was unkind to them both. Justin understands that it could’ve been jarring to see Bonnie dressed like Adrienne. Steve admits that it was, but with time and help from Kayla, he got perspective and knows that she was doing it to be accepted. Steve adds that he’s happy that Kayla agreed to be Bonnie’s matron of honor. Justin hopes she didn’t feel like she had to say yes. Steve assures that Kayla is happy for them. Justin says he would feel bad if Kayla or Steve felt like they owed him. Justin reveals that he just wanted to put all the cards on the table, before asking Steve to be his best man.

Bonnie is surprised to be woken up by her sister-in-law, Calista Lockhart. Bonnie remarks that it’s been so long that she thought she was dead. Calista declares that she is alive and well. Calista didn’t think she missed her or that she’s happy to see someone who actually knows her history and not the crap in her book. Bonnie argues that every word in her book is true but Calista points out that she didn’t mention that she killed her brother. Bonnie says she didn’t do it. Calista brings up the day Bonnie married David and how he made a big mistake. Bonnie argues that she has no idea what David put her and her kids through. Calista tells her not to speak ill of the dead. Bonnie tells her to go. Calista says she didn’t come to argue over whether or not she killed her brother, but the fact that Bonnie did kill her husband.

Steve questions Justin wanting him to be his best man. Steve says of course and he would be honored. Steve questions not asking Sonny. Justin confirms that he did but he has a work crisis and can’t make it. Steve asks if he’s talked to Bonnie about it as he doesn’t think she will want him standing there while they get married. Justin reveals it was Bonnie’s idea as she thinks it would say that the family approves. Steve jokes about he and Kayla being the seal of approval. Justin adds that Bonnie likes Steve and how he sticks up for Adrienne’s memory and how much he and Kayla mean to him. Justin understands if it’s all too weird for him and says he’ll figure something out. Steve points out that Bonnie would know if he turned him down. Justin confirms that Bonnie knows he is asking him. Steve doesn’t want to do anything else to hurt Bonnie’s feelings or to mess up Justin’s big day, so he would be happy to his best man.

Kayla tells Allie that all she knows is that Tripp cares about her a lot. Allie says she cares about him too, but him saying “I love you” caught her off guard as she wasn’t expecting it and she could see that he wanted her to say it back to him. Kayla thinks she did the right thing and compares it to what happens in the movies. Kayla notes that saying “I love you” shouldn’t be a conditioned response or something to feel bad about. Allie agrees and says she couldn’t say it because she’s not sure if she loves him or not. Kayla tells her that it’s her call. Allie notes that she is sure that she likes being with him and misses him when he’s not around but they do have a long history. Allie worries if asking Tripp to wait is asking too much.

Chanel confirms to Tripp that she did meet someone and that Allie mentioned they almost walked in on her date. Tripp says that Allie wanted to give them a chance to get to know each other better. Tripp asks if it could turn in to something. Chanel says maybe and that they went by his place afterwards, but they didn’t have condoms so they didn’t do anything. Tripp jokes about that being a romantic story. Chanel says they are getting along good so it might turn in to something. Tripp says he’s glad to hear that. Chanel questions why he cares. Tripp tells her that he thinks it would be nice if she had someone. Chanel asks if he means so that she won’t be in the middle of him and Allie.

Anna asks Johnny if his film has a vision. Johnny says yes so Anna says she’s on board. Johnny talks about if they won the Oscars. Johnny asks if they will do it, but EJ walks in and says no. EJ calls that an amateur investment pitch but Anna praises it. EJ declares that Johnny is joining DiMera Enterprises but Johnny says he said no. EJ feels Johnny turned down the first offer as a negotiating ploy but Johnny still says no. Anna suggests Johnny could run the DiMera film division. EJ says there is no film division. Anna says he could start one and they could call it DiMeraflix. Tony thinks they should leave EJ and Johnny alone to speak privately, but EJ says not to go yet. EJ reminds that their agreement was he would take over DiMera, so Tony could enjoy the rising profits without actually having to work and he’s fine with that, but he can’t have him acting against the interests of the company which financing Johnny’s movie would be doing. EJ asks if he understands. Tony warns that sometimes, he forgets who he’s talking to and presumes too much. Tony tells Johnny that he’s sorry but maybe sometime down the road as it’s just not the right time and he hopes he understands. Johnny says he does but calls Tony, “Fredo”

Justin says now that Steve agreed to be his best man, he wants to ask one more thing. Steve jokes that now he’s really pushing it. Justin asks Steve not to hold it against him for the rest of his life. Steve says he’ll do him one better and say he thinks it’s a good idea. Steve points out that Kayla agreed to be matron of honor and she’s usually right about everything, especially family. Steve tells Justin that they are family because of Adrienne and he knows she would want them to stay family. Justin agrees and says this means a lot to him, so he can’t wait to tell Bonnie. Steve compares Bonnie’s past to his own and how he was forgiven. Justin says she has been really upfront about everything she’s done and she’s really serious about leaving the past behind her.

Calista reminds Bonnie of her husband, Harrison Lord, who she says Bonnie plugged full of lead. Bonnie argues that’s not what happened. Calista questions her denying shooting her husband to death. Bonnie says she doesn’t have time for her grieving widow act. Calista tells her to make some time. Bonnie says she can just push a button and two men will come in and throw her out. Calista warns her not to do that as she then pulls out a gun. Bonnie says she can’t kill her or she’d be caught red handed. Calista says she’s not going to kill her. Bonnie questions why the gun then. Calista says it’s the one that Bonnie used to kill Harrison and it still has her fingerprints on it. Calista warns that she can use the gun to put Bonnie back in jail any time, unless she pays her what is hers.

Allie tells Kayla that one of the things she loves about Tripp is that he’s put everything she did to him behind him and says that he understands why she thought he was the one who raped her. Allie adds that Tripp not only forgave him but he’s great with Henry and he’s not bad looking. Allie admits that Tripp ticks every box and answers every prayer, but part of her wonder if what she feels for him is guilt or gratitude because she owes him or because he loves her and takes care of her child. Allie worries that she can’t be honest with him because she’s not being honest with herself. Kayla feels Allie didn’t say “I love you” back just because she doesn’t know if she does. Kayla assures that in time, Allie will know one way or the other. Allie asks if Tripp is just supposed to put his life on hold while she sorts out her feelings. Allie jokes that Tripp is a sensitive hunk, who is going to be a doctor, and those go fast on the market. Kayla says she has seen how Tripp looks at her and talks about her, so she thinks he will wait for her.

Tripp tells Chanel that she’s not in the middle of he and Allie. Chanel knows what he meant and agrees that it would be a lot easier on all of them if she had someone else, so they could just forget she ever had feelings for Allie. Tripp is glad she feels that way since they are such good friends and he’d hate for it to be awkward. Tripp suggests they all go out together sometime. Chanel asks if they are busy tonight. Tripp says no and brings up a bar off the town square with happy hour. Chanel jokes that she promises not to stick him with the check this time, though she might have to pay for her date because Johnny is having financial difficulties with his dad.

Johnny apologizes to Tony. Tony tells him to try to understand where EJ is coming from, as he wants him to follow in his footsteps and do something secure, stable, and safe, remarking that it would be just like race car driving. Tony wishes him luck and remembers how well EJ reacted to direct orders as he and Anna exit. Johnny complains about EJ doing that in public. EJ calls it family business. Johnny argues that he was having a private conversation and EJ barged in to start making orders. EJ accuses him of grubbing for money from his uncle after he turned him down. EJ thinks Johnny wants the perks of being a DiMera without the responsibility. EJ adds that he wasn’t issuing orders. Johnny disagrees. EJ complains that Johnny is turning down his offers without even listening to what he’d be doing or seeing the offices. EJ asks how he knows he won’t like working there if he hasn’t even tried it. EJ stops and tells Johnny that he’s happy he’s back and would like to work with him. EJ invites Johnny to the office, so he can answer any questions he might have and he can spend a little time with his son. EJ asks Johnny what he says, but Chanel arrives. EJ introduces himself to Chanel. Chanel says she’s sorry to interrupt but Johny says it’s no problem and he’s glad to see her. Chanel says she should’ve called. Chanel tells EJ that she has to compliment his amazing home. Chanel tells Johnny that she came by to see if he wanted to join them at a new bar for happy hour so he can meet her BFF and her boyfriend. Johnny says that sounds great. EJ intervenes, saying Johnny won’t be able to join her because he has plans. Johnny argues that he actually doesn’t have plans and that Chanel has incredible timing as he was just looking for something to do. Johnny then exits with Chanel.

Allie asks Kayla if she really thinks Tripp will wait for her. Kayla confirms that she does. Tripp arrives and asks how Henry’s appointment went. Allie says it went great. Tripp tells Allie that he just ran in to Chanel and she wants them to meet her at the new bar for happy hour and they can meet her new guy. Allie mentions that she would have to find a babysitter for Henry. Kayla says she and Steve would be happy to do that. Allie feels she can’t ask her to do that but Kayla says she’s volunteering and tells them to have a good time. Tripp thanks her as Kayla then walks away. Tripp tells Allie that it’s okay if she doesn’t want to go, but Allie assures that she would love to go. Allie says she can’t wait to see who Chanel has her sights on now too. Allie and Tripp then exit the hospital together.

Steve asks Justin when the wedding is. Justin informs him that it’s tomorrow, which surprises Steve. Steve says he will clear his schedule and get him to the church on time. Justin thanks him and says he really appreciates it as they hug.

Bonnie asks Calista what she is supposed to pay her. Calista brings up how Harrison scammed a restaurant he worked at to win their million dollar promotion and asked Bonnie to do it for him in exchange for a cut of the money. Calista argues that wasn’t enough for Bonnie, so she killed him and ran off with the money. Calista declares that Harrison may be gone, but she is not, and she wants that money now.

Kayla goes to the Brady Pub with Henry and tells Steve that they are going to babysit. Steve tells her that the day keeps getting better. Kayla asks if something is wrong. Steve informs her that Justin asked him to be his best man. Kayla guesses they got in to another fight about Bonnie but Steve reveals that he said to do it, surprising Kayla. Steve informs her that Justin said it was Bonnie’s idea, so he thought if Kayla can do it, so can he. Kayla tells him that she’s proud of him and kisses him. Steve thanks her. Kayla thinks Bonnie will be very happy.

Bonnie tells Calista that she doesn’t have that kind of money. Calista asks if she’s sure about that and points out that she’s living pretty high in the Kiriakis Mansion. Bonnie says none of it is hers and it belongs to Justin. Calista says she knows all about the Kiriakis family and how rich they are, so she can just get the money to Justin. Bonnie says she couldn’t and wouldn’t even know how to explain it to him. Justin then walks in and asks explain what.

Tony returns to the living room and asks EJ how things went with Johnny, then guesses he wasn’t able to rope him in to the herd.

Tripp and Allie go to the new bar and wait for Chanel. Tripp informs Allie that Chanel called her new boyfriend, Giovanni. Allie notes that’s weird because that’s what her brother Johnny’s grandfather used to call him. Tripp wonders if it could be a coincidence. Allie realizes Johnny said he met someone too. Chanel and Johnny then arrive together, shocking both Allie and Johnny.

Nicole goes to Rafe’s house and asks if it’s a bad time as she doesn’t want to interrupt if he and Ava are having breakfast. Rafe informs her that he’s actually having breakfast alone if she wants to join.

In the town square, Gabi tells Ava that she told her so because Rafe is on his way to moving on. Ava tells Gabi that she makes her sick. Gabi responds that she has the same reaction at the sight of her, but they won’t be seeing as much of each other once Rafe decides she wants to be with Nicole and drops Ava in the gutter. Gabi then walks away. Ava remarks to herself that she might want to be a little more careful who you turn your back on.

Philip stops Jake from leaving the Titan office and says that he does respect Kate’s opinions, but he makes his own decisions. Philip then welcomes Jake to Titan. Jake thinks back to Gabi telling him that the plan is to learn everything about how Philip does business, so they can sabotage him and take him down. Jake promises Philip that he won’t regret itJustin and Bonnie sit in the living room of the Kiriakis Mansion, where furniture is knocked over and they have food all over them. Bonnie declares that went well.

Nicole points out that this is the second time Rafe cooked for her this week. Rafe jokes about the mac and cheese not counting as cooking. Rafe starts to eat and says this doesn’t count as cooking either. Nicole says he’s been so good to her and might just spoil her. Rafe asks if she’s going to try the food. Nicole takes a bite and says it’s interesting. Nicole adds that she did just pop in out of the blue but then admits that Gabi told her to stop by, saying that she has been on his mind and that he’d want to see her.

Ava sits back down and tries texting Rafe that she’s sorry about blowing up about he and Nicole and that she needs to understand they are just friends. Ava then gets upset and says if Rafe had it his way, he’d be with Nicole now but he’d have to admit it’s what he really wants, so she deletes the message and starts over. Ava then writes that the only thing she’s sorry about is that she was clueless enough to expect a man to understand anything about a woman. Steve then appears and questions who she is texting.

Brady tells Chloe that there’s nothing wrong with a little healthy competition. Chloe says unless he’s doing it just to mess with Philip. Brady says he’s not going to tiptoe around Philip’s feelings when it comes to making a business deal. Brady reminds Chloe that he is her boss, not Philip. Chloe asks if that means he’s ordering her to go to New York with him.

Jake admires Philip’s ability to separate the personal from the professional. Philip explains that his priority is the future of this company, so he can’t let his mother’s doubts or her hatred of Jake color a decision as important as this. Jake doesn’t think Kate has Titan’s best interests at heart. Jake claims that he will be very loyal. Philip says he’s counting on that as he wants Jake’s CEO experience to make him an invaluable asset. Gabi arrives and says she couldn’t agree more as it looks like they have a new hire. Philip asks if she caught Jake up on Gabi Chic which she confirms that she has. Philip tells them that he has to be somewhere and he’ll be back in a few hours so he exits. Gabi then tells Jake it’s just the two of them.

Nicole informs Rafe that she ran in to Gabi outside the Brady Pub and she told her how bad she felt about how much she leaned on Rafe and how he comforted her. Nicole says that Gabi said she knows first hand that he wanted her to lean on him. Rafe confirms that’s true and he’s happy to be here for her through all of this. Nicole worried that Gabi was just being polite. Rafe jokes that Gabi is a lot of things but not polite. Rafe clarifies that he wants to be here for her and help her through all of this, because that’s what friends are for, but Gabi is just making trouble for Ava. Rafe explains that Gabi has been amusing herself by trying to convince Ava that he doesn’t want to be with her anymore, because he wants to be with Nicole.

Ava tells Steve that she didn’t see him there and that she was just texting Rafe. Steve says it’s none of his business but warns her to think twice before sending it. Ava agrees and deletes the message. Steve asks how things are going with her and Rafe. Ava claims things are really great but then admits they had a big fight this morning and now Steve gets to gloat, because he warned Rafe that dating her would be the biggest mistake of his life. Steve acknowledges that he was out of line to say that and he owes her an apology.

Bonnie tells Justin that maybe they should’ve waited until after brunch to tell Victor about their wedding. Bonnie supposes she should apologize to Victor but Justin says that Victor started it by dumping her eggs in her lap. Justin questions her not being angry. Bonnie says they both know how Victor feels about her, so it’s no surprise. Justin feels she deserves better. Bonnie suggests maybe he does and that’s what most of his family and friends think. Bonnie thinks Justin must be wondering if there should be a wedding at all.

Gabi asks Jake what he thinks after she gives him the grand tour of Titan. Jake thinks this is right where he belongs as he sits at Philip’s desk. Gabi asks if he means Titan or the CEO chair. Jake likes the view from behind the desk. Gabi reminds him that it’s her chair and says they have things to do as she locks the door, so Jake asks what she has in mind. Gabi tells him that they need to turn the place upside down if they are going to find something to help them convince Victor to get Philip out of the company.

Justin tells Bonnie that their wedding is about them and no one else, so it’s definitely on for tomorrow and he doesn’t care if Victor comes or not. Justin jokes that if he doesn’t, their wedding cake will be safe. Bonnie still can’t believe this is real as Justin kisses her and suggests they take this upstairs. Bonnie points out that they have 24 hours until their wedding so she has to lock in her matron of honor in Kayla. Justin notes that Sonny will be his best man and he’s just waiting on a text to say when he will get in town. Justin checks his phone and sees he has a missed call from Sonny, so he calls him back. Justin asks what time Sonny will arrive tomorrow, but gets bad news that Sonny can’t make it.

Ava questions Steve saying he owes her an apology and says that’s a new one. Steve tells her that he’s started to realize that he tends to hold on to his opinion of other people, even when what’s right in front of him tells him that opinion might not hold water anymore. Steve says that applies to Ava and Bonnie. Ava doesn’t understand. Steve explains that when Justin started dating Bonnie, he warned him that she would make his life hell, just like he warned Rafe against Ava. Steve adds that Justin and Bonnie said she had changed and he didn’t believe it, but he was wrong. Steve admits that Bonnie is good for Justin and they are happily engaged, so he couldn’t see who Bonnie had become because he couldn’t see past the grudge he had against her. Ava asks what changed. Steve responds that a very wise woman told him that he has to let go of the hurt and anger to find compassion as it’s the only way to move forward, so it’s time he did that. Steve declares that it’s time he realizes that Bonnie really is trying to change so he can at least give her the benefit of the doubt and Ava deserves that too.

Nicole tells Rafe that it’s ridiculous since they are just friends and that’s it. Rafe says that’s what he’s been telling Ava over and over, but Gabi is getting to her because Gabi is a master button pusher and she’s been pushing Ava’s buttons, so they had a fight about he and Nicole. Nicole tells him that she’s so sorry. Rafe says there’s nothing for her to be sorry for because if something that small set Ava off then she doesn’t trust him anyway. Rafe says he thought at first that he and Ava were a great match and things would work out but maybe they are too different to make things work.

Brady tells Chloe that he’s not going to order her to go to New York as he would never make her do anything she’s uncomfortable with, but admits he could really use her help in New York, especially since Nicole can’t go. Chloe assures that she wants to do the work that they are paying her to do. Brady tells her that today that work is in New York. Brady reminds Chloe that she can also see Parker and her parents in New York, which he thinks would do her some good. Brady asks why Philip would have a problem with this, if they are as solid as she says they are. Philip then arrives and questions what he would have a problem with.

Jake searches through Philip’s drawers, but only finds that he collects baseball cards. Jake mentions that his hiring almost didn’t happen because Kate warned Philip that they might screw him over. Gabi remarks that it’s a good thing Philip doesn’t listen to his mom. Gabi complains that there is nothing here. Jake remarks that not everything is as easy as pushing Ava’s buttons. Gabi claims not to know what he’s talking about. Jake says that Ava was ready to combust this morning and Gabi wanted to light a match to her. Gabi argues that Ava doesn’t belong with Rafe, so she’s been trying to get in her head so that she gets out of her brother’s life and asks who cares. Jake questions her thinking that’s a good idea. Gabi talks about how easy it was to plant a seed that Rafe was more interested in Nicole and then Ava ran with it. Jake points out that nothing is going on with Rafe and Nicole. Gabi says not yet and then informs him that she saw Nicole earlier, so she suggested she go to Rafe with her sob story and she’s pretty sure that Nicole is there now.

Rafe informs Nicole that Ava accused him of having feelings for her and he tried to explain that he was just being a friend, but Ava got it in her head that he secretly wants Nicole and he couldn’t convince her otherwise. Rafe asks how crazy that is. Nicole responds that it’s not so crazy which Rafe questions. Nicole suggests that maybe Ava is right.

Ava tells Steve that it means a lot that he would have an open mind about her. Steve says that Ava keeps telling him that she wants to be a better person for their son which he respects and he knows it means a lot to Tripp. Ava says that she just wants Tripp to be proud of her. Steve says she is on her way but he can’t expect her to up her game, unless he does the same. Steve tells Ava that if she and Rafe are happy, he hopes it all works out. Ava thanks him but admits that she’s not so sure it’s going to because she’s not sure that Rafe still wants to be with her.

Bonnie comments to Justin how Kayla and Steve go together and you can’t have one without the other. Bonnie explains to Justin how she pitched Kayla being her matron of honor, by thinking that having Kayla would tell the world that marrying her might be a good thing because if Kayla was in their corner then they were meant to be. Bonnie jokes that having Steve there would be the icing on the cake. Justin decides that she convinced him since it means a lot to her, so in order to make her happy, he will ask Steve to be his best man. Bonnie excitedly thanks him. Justin admits he doesn’t know how the hell he’s going to convince Steve to say yes, but he’ll think of something.

Ava tells Steve that she started the whole thing since she was upset about how close Rafe is with Nicole. Steve points out that they have been friends for years. Ava says she knows that but all she sees is that Nicole is the one who Rafe wants to be with and whenever she can’t find him, he’s with her. Ava admits that it stings in her heart every single time. Ava knows she doesn’t have to tell Steve how crazy and jealous she can get.

Jake warns Gabi to leave Ava alone. Gabi says she’s not scared of Ava being a mob princess. Jake thinks she should be a little more respectful of Ava’s past. Gabi asks if Jake crossed paths with Ava when he was working for her crime family. Jake says he didn’t because he was too low on the food chain but he’s heard stories that she’s ruthless and brutal. Jake asks Gabi to steer clear of Ava. Gabi asks what about Rafe and remarks that Ava better stay the hell away from her brother.

Steve tells Ava that he’s known her a long time and advises her to try trusting Rafe. Ava admits trust is not something she’s very good at. Steve encourages that she can learn because if she lets her insecurity make her paranoid, that always leads to obsession, and he’d like to think those bad old days are behind her. Steve tells Ava that if Rafe says he wants to be with her, she should take him at his word.

Rafe questions what Nicole thinks Ava is right about. Nicole clarifies that she’s not right about them because Rafe secretly wanting her is ridiculous, but she is right about them spending time together and her leaning on him too much. Rafe says that’s not her call but Nicole asks him to hear her out. Nicole says that she knows Ava and how insecure she can be. Nicole brings up Ava asking him in front of her if he had feelings for her and he said no, but she still couldn’t accept it. Rafe argues that Ava is going to have to accept that he and Nicole are friends and he’s not going to stop hanging out with her just because Ava feels threatened. Nicole asks why not if he cares about Ava. Rafe doesn’t want her to feel that way but also doesn’t want her being possessive. Rafe says he doesn’t want to spend less time with Nicole or anyone just because Ava feels jealous or insecure. Nicole brings up first suggesting that Ava move in with Rafe and she thought he could be good for her, which he has been. Nicole adds that she also sees that Ava has been good for him and she really doesn’t want to get in the way of that. Rafe brings up Nicole just ending her marriage. Nicole brings up that Rafe and Ava just started something, so she thinks they should both see where it could go.

Chloe asks Philip what he’s doing here. Philip thought he’d revisit the idea of Gabi Chic and Basic Black working together. Brady is pretty sure they closed the door on that. Philip argues that Brady did, but then he told himself that Brady wouldn’t know a good idea if it bit him in the ass, so he’s trying again. Philip presents an envelope with a general business model. Brady notes that he’s serious and jokes that he thought he was just making an excuse to check on Chloe. Philip asks why he would need to do that. Brady then informs Philip that he and Chloe will take a look at this on the jet which Philip questions. Brady says he’s going to make some last minute arrangements while they talk. Brady exits the room while Philip asks Chloe what’s going on. Chloe informs Philip that Brady wants her to go to New York with him. Philip questions why Nicole can’t go with Brady. Chloe explains that Nicole’s still really upset about Eric and wanted to take the week off. Philip says Brady can go solo then but Chloe says that Brady insisted on needing her there. Chloe adds that Brady also said she can see Parker and her parents. Philip argues that he could take her to see Parker and her parents, so they could go to New York next week or anytime she wants. Chloe asks if Philip trusts her. Philip says he does, but not Brady since he keeps angling to get between them. Chloe reminds him that she’s with him and nothing changes that. Philip doesn’t like telling her not to do this since it’s her job and her decision, but he’s picturing her on the DiMera Jet with Brady and staying in hotels. Chloe stops him and says he is more important than business, so if he doesn’t want her to go with Brady, then she won’t.

Bonnie has confidence that Justin can get Steve to go along. Justin agrees to text Steve then. Bonnie mentions needing to get to work too on wedding planning. Bonnie asks if he has any suggestions for the menu. Justin jokes about not making it brunch like today as they kiss. Bonnie tells Justin that she loves him with her whole heart and she can’t wait until tomorrow to be his wife because it will be the happiest day of her life. Justin says he can’t wait either and he loves her very much. Justin kisses her and exits the room.

Ava tells Steve that she made a scene and stormed out of the house, leaving Rafe without breakfast, so she’s going to bring him his favorite muffin and a real apology. Steve says that sounds like a good plan. Ava tells Steve that in the past, he probably would’ve just told her to go to Hell but he spent a lot of time with her and gave her good advice so she thanks him. Steve reminds Ava that Nicole is her friend. Ava responds that Nicole is her best friend and she trusts her and Rafe too. Steve says he will see her later and walks away.

Rafe tells Nicole that he’s not going to start seeing a lot less of her because that doesn’t work for him. Rafe argues that just because he’s going out with Ava doesn’t mean that he can’t see her. Rafe adds that it was bad enough that he wasn’t there for her when she got the call from Eric. Nicole says that happened that night was not his fault as she made a choice and she’s making a choice now. Nicole tells Rafe that she will miss him like crazy, but she can’t see him for awhile. Nicole declares that it’s best this way.

Jake gives up and tells Gabi that there’s nothing of interest in Philip’s office. Gabi asks if he’s sure about that as she leans over the desk and suggests they christen the desk before they go. Jake asks if Philip might mind. Gabi doesn’t care and says it’s going to be her office very soon. Jake jokes that she means his office and clears off the desk. Gabi suggests they share as Jake kisses her onto the desk.

Philip tells Chloe that he won’t stop her from doing her job and hopes the trip to New York is worthwhile. Philip adds that a visit with Parker will do her good. Chloe thanks him for being so understanding and kisses him. Philip tells her to just hurry back. They kiss until Brady comes back in and says they are all set to go if it’s okay with Philip. Philip asks why it wouldn’t be. Philip tells Brady that he’s very lucky to have Chloe working for him for now. Brady agrees. Chloe goes to call Parker to tell him that she will see him soon. Philip then warns Brady that if he does anything inappropriate with his girlfiend, he will kill him.

Rafe tells Nicole that she doesn’t just get to do this and decide what’s best for him and sideline their friendship. Nicole argues that it’s not what she’s doing and she’s just giving them a timeout. Rafe complains that she’s in a bad place. Nicole says she brought it on herself but she will get through it with the support of her other friends and family. Nicole notes that she has Chloe and even Ava since she’s been a solid friend. Nicole asks Rafe to try to understand. Rafe says okay, so she thanks him. Nicole asks if she can hang on to their teddy bear Duke for a while longer. Rafe jokes that somebody has to watch out for her. Rafe guesses this is it then. Nicole says it’s for now. They get close as Ava comes home and sees them through the window.

Justin meets Steve at the Brady Pub. Steve says he got his text and asks what’s up. Justin says he has a favor to ask. Steve says to name it. Justin advises him to brace himself.

Bonnie sits in the living room of the Kiriakis Mansion, writing her name as Bonnie Kiriakis. Bonnie says it has a ring to it but then looks up and sees a photo of Justin and Adrienne. Bonnie picks it up and says she did Adrienne wrong in every way possible, so she’s going to spend her life making up for it and the best way she can do that is by doing her damndest to make sure she makes Justin just as happy as Adrienne did. Someone then enters the room, causing Bonnie to exclaim that she can’t believe they are alive.

Jake wakes up in bed with Gabi, who is sitting up with her laptop. Jake comments that it’s too early to be working. Gabi responds that it’s not for Philip, who is already writing an e-mail which she can see after installing the key logger on his computer. Gabi sees that Philip is writing a confidential e-mail to Titan’s general council. Gabi reads the e-mail but Philip stops typing right before saying what the issue is.

Philip is interrupted from typing his e-mail as Kate enters the Titan office and says they need to talk. Philip mentions that he told his assistant that he was not to be disturbed. Kate declares that she didn’t think it applied to his mother and that she’s here to stop him from making a terrible mistake.

Chloe joins Brady at the Basic Black office. Chloe asks what the emergency is. Brady informs her that the DiMera Jet is waiting for them because he’s wisking her away.

Rafe gets up from bed and greets Ava in the kitchen. Rafe asks Ava about breakfast but Ava remarks that she decided not to make breakfast in case he had plans with Nicole.

Nicole goes to the Brady Pub. Roman says they aren’t open yet. Nicole informs him that she came to see him and she’s sorry it took this long but she hasn’t been in the mood to see people. Nicole feels terrible that the party he hosted for her and Eric turned out to be such a disaster as she’s truly sorry. Roman responds that she should be.

Rafe tells Ava that he’s very sorry for missing dinner the other night as he should’ve called her to let her know that he was stopping by Nicole’s. Rafe adds that Nicole is Ava’s friend too and she’s going through a really rough time, so he assumed that she would be okay with it and she wouldn’t want her to be alone. Ava says that’s why she offered to bring dinner but Rafe told her not to. Rafe says Nicole said she didn’t want company. Ava questions her being company and he’s not. Rafe says that’s not what he meant. Ava tells him to start explaining because it sounds to her like he thinks he’s the only person on the planet who can help Nicole. Rafe clarifies that Nicole said she didn’t want a lot of people around as she’s depressed and could barely get out of bed. Ava mocks that. Rafe says that Nicole is hurting. Ava asks if that surprises him. Rafe says he would expect Nicole to be depressed given the circumstances. Ava argues that Nicole chose to cheat on her husband with Xander, so it’s her own fault that her marriage is over.

Roman talks about Eric coming all the way back from Africa to surprise Nicole for their anniversary, only to find out in public that she slept with another man that they both hate. Roman states that Eric was completely humiliated. Nicole says she made a terrible mistake that she will regret for the rest of her life, but she’s not the only one to blame here. Nicole argues that Sami wanted to blow up her life so she had Xander march in and give that announcement, without giving a damn about how much she hurt her brother.

Brady informs Chloe that he’s taking her to New York because a new distributor wants a face to face meeting today. Chloe asks why she has to go. Brady says that it’s because she works for him and is part of the company. Brady adds that Chloe can also see Parker and her parents. Brady wants to go get her bag and get on the jet. Chloe is not so sure if Philip would approve of them jetting off to New York together.

Philip asks Kate if this is about him dating Chloe. Kate says it’s about Jake and argues that he can’t bring him on board at Titan because he’s an untrustworthy jerk who will eventually stab him in the back. Philip understands that Kate is cynical when it comes to Jake, but he doesn’t fear that. Philip adds that Jake’s own family got rid of him with Kate casting the deciding vote, so he’s trusting that Jake is still so angry that he’ll be all in with helping he and Gabi crush DiMera. Kate reminds him that she works for DiMera. Philip says they both know she’ll be working just as hard at crushing them and may the best company win. Kate is afraid that Philip is becoming dangerously naïve as she doesn’t think he has completely thought what it means to get in bed with Gabi and Jake.

Gabi wonders why Philip stopped typing his e-mail. Jake suggests he could’ve gotten a phone call. Gabi complains that she needs to see the e-mail and what the issue is. Gabi wonders if Philip is in trouble again since not long ago, he was laundering money through Titan for his gambling debts. Gabi asks what if he’s doing it again and this is exactly what they need to get him out of Titan. Jake hopes she’s right but suggests there is something else they could do to pass the time. Gabi doesn’t want to miss anything important. Jake points out that the computer will still record if Philip starts typing again, so they don’t have to stare at the screen. Gabi gives in as she and Jake kiss in bed.

Rafe tells Ava that’s a harsh way to talk about her friend. Ava says that Nicole is her friend, but it doesn’t change the fact that she broke her vows. Rafe argues that she didn’t deserve to have it broadcast at her anniversary party. Ava argues that Nicole took a risk and knew that Eric might find out somehow. Rafe wants to put it in to context and brings up the night it happened being when Nicole got a call from Eric, saying he was extending his stay in Africa again. Rafe adds that Nicole was devastated, got drunk, and wasn’t thinking clearly then Xander took advantage of it. Ava questions Nicole getting a pass for cheating. Rafe clarifies that he’s not saying it’s okay, just that he understands it. Rafe adds that if they would’ve been there for her, it would’ve never happened. Ava questions it being their fault. Rafe says he’s just kicking himself for silencing his phone as he wishes he would’ve got Nicole’s call. Ava asks if he wishes that, so he could’ve slept with her instead.

Nicole tells Roman that Xander didn’t just decide to tell the whole world about what happened between them and she knows he didn’t do it for free. Roman questions if she has proof that Sami paid him off. Nicole says no but Sami hounded her for weeks afterwards and told her that she would do whatever it took to expose her. Nicole adds that Belle is convinced that Sami set this whole thing up. Roman says it pains him to hear that Sami would hurt her brother like that. Nicole guesses he isn’t surprised though. Nicole says that ever since she and Eric got married, Sami has been on a mission to break them up. Roman says that either way, she still cheated on Eric, a wonderful and honest man. Roman argues that she knows what a decent, kind, loving man Eric is so he questions how the hell she could hurt him like that.

After Gabi and Jake have sex, she tells him it was great as usual and then goes back to her laptop. Gabi says she’s just sticking to their plan to take over the world because she hates what Jake’s family did to him when he was doing such a good job. Gabi declares that she will teach them that messing with them was the biggest mistake they ever made and when Philip is gone, she will generate more money than he ever could for Titan. Gabi notes that the key stroke is not the only thing to get them in since Jake needs to have a really good follow up interview so that Philip hires him. Jake says he better shower and not be late.

Philip tells Kate that Gabi Chic just had it’s best quarter ever and Gabi has repeatedly said they have a great working relationship. Kate argues that it’s all part of Gabi’s plan which he questions. Kate talks about Gabi lulling him in to a false sense of security and then she’ll convince him to hire Jake because he’d be so useful in accomplishing their mutual goals, but the whole time they will be working behind his back to bring him down. Philip calls her paranoid. Kate warns that he can’t underestimate Gabi. Philip tells her not to underestimate him. Philip admits that when he started this job, he made some stupid mistakes that put his family and company at risk. Philip promises that there is no scenario where he or Victor would allow Titan to be run by a pair of DiMeras. Kate knows how much it means to him that Victor gave him a second chance, but warns that he can’t be comfortable because if Victor is ever convinced that there is someone else who can do his job better than he can, he will have him out in a heartbeat. Philip assures that he will keep his eyes on Gabi and Jake, but he’s the one using them. Kate says if he just needs information about DiMera, there’s better ways to get it, like from his girlfriend Chloe.

Brady asks Chloe why Philip would have a problem with her taking a business trip. Chloe brings up Philip being sensitive about them spending time together. Brady asks what he’s whining about now. Chloe reminds Brady about Nicole and Eric’s anniversary party and how she went after Brady to make sure things didn’t get ugly with Xander, but she left Philip hanging at the Pub by himself and he got worried about what they might do together alone. Brady remarks that it would be Philip’s problem, not theirs.

Philip questions Kate suggesting he pump Chloe for information on DiMera. Philip says he would never use her like that and she would never betray Nicole. Kate argues that if he turns on the Philip charm, she’ll tell him everything but he refuses. Philip admits that he did try to get Chloe to jump ship but she turned him down. Kate asks if he thought she’d be an asset to Titan or did he just want to get her away from Brady. Philip declares that he lost her to Brady once and he won’t lose her again, adding that she assured him that he’s the one she wants to be with. Kate remarks that Jake assured her too and look how that turned out.

Nicole tells Roman that she’s a little confused about his lack of understanding because she remembers Roman telling her it was wrong of Eric to leave her alone for so long and that if he wasn’t careful, it could drive her in to someone else’s arms. Roman acknowledges that Eric shouldn’t have stayed away as long as he did and he did feel that if another good man pursued Nicole during that time, he could understand she could be vulnerable, but they both know that is a far cry from what happened between her and Xander. Nicole apologizes. Roman tells her that she should’ve come clean with Eric right away since if she was honest from the beginning, she could’ve spared all of them a lot of pain.

Rafe can’t believe Ava just said that. Ava claims it just slipped out. Rafe argues that she keeps twisting everything he says. Rafe clarifies that if he answered Nicole’s call, she wouldn’t have ended up with Xander. Ava argues that if he answered her call that day, he would’ve bailed on their date and very possibly would’ve ended up in bed with Nicole. Rafe declares that never would’ve happened because he’s involved with Ava. Ava says to never say never. Rafe argues that they have been over this so many times and he’s told her that he does not have feelings for Nicole. Ava admits she didn’t believe him then either. Rafe notes that they obviously have a big problem. Ava says maybe it was wrong to suggest that he would’ve slept with Nicole while she was still married, but her marriage is over, so she wants Rafe to be honest with her and himself about who he really wants to be with. Rafe repeats that he does not have feelings for Nicole and she is his friend. Ava argues that she’s the friend he dreams about, drops everything for, and is always on his mind. Ava says it’s obvious he cares very deeply for her. Rafe admits that he does, but that does not mean he has desires. Ava yells at Rafe to just admit that he wants to sleep with Nicole right as Gabi and Jake come out from the bedroom. Gabi apologizes at it sounded like they interrupted a very personal conversation. Rafe claims it’s nothing but Gabi says it doesn’t sound like nothing. Jake mentions missing breakfast which Gabi is offended by but Jake suggests they just hurry up and go. Gabi apologizes again but reminds Ava that she did try to warn her as she and Jake exit. Rafe asks Ava what exactly Gabi warned her about. Ava admits it was his feelings for Nicole.

Nicole tells Roman that she tried to come clean with Eric and even wrote him an e-mail confessing to everything she did, but she couldn’t bring herself to send it to him. Roman wishes she had, so she could’ve taken care of this in private and Eric wouldn’t have been humiliated in front of everybody he knows. Nicole says the regret over hurting him is killing her and she hates herself for what she did, but there’s nothing she can do to change it. Nicole adds that before Eric left, they did talk and had it out and he acknowledged that it was wrong of him to put their life on hold. Roman questions her blaming him. Nicole insists that she would never, but as far as their marriage falling apart, they realized it was inevitable since as much as they love each other, they are just different people who are better off apart. Roman tells Nicole that it’s a nice little story, but she doesn’t get to put a nice little ribbon on this. Nicole just wanted him to know that they parted peacefully. Roman knows Eric is a good man, who is kind and forgiving. Roman warns that Eric will live with the pain she caused because he never loved anyone the way he loved her. Roman declares that no matter what his parting words were, he will never be the same and there will be many moments in the coming years where he will think of her and that pain will still be there and he’ll tell himself that maybe he just wasn’t good enough for her. Nicole cries that Roman is right and she’s a terrible person, who destroyed Eric and their marriage, so she deserves to live in misery for the rest of her life.

Philip tells Kate that he’s sorry she was hurt but she has to stop comparing his relationship with Chloe to what happened between her and Jake. Kate argues that he is her son so she will never stop trying to protect him. Philip says he doesn’t need protection from Chloe. Kate declares that Chloe has hurt him so many times, so she’s not going to let that happen again. Kate asks if her feelings for Brady are just going to magically disappear when they work with each other every day. Philip says Chloe comes home to him every night and it’s great as he can feel their connection getting deeper every day. Philip states that it’s only a matter of time before she is really, truly his. Kate goes with whatever he says and reminds him not to forget what she said about Jake. Kate warns that if Philip hires Jake, he will regret it. Kate tells Philip that she loves him and she’s just looking out for him as they hug. Kate then exits the office.

Chloe tells Brady that she and Philip are in a relationship, so she needs to take his feelings in to account. Brady calls his feelings pathetic. Chloe feels it’s just respect and courtesy. Brady asks what’s wrong with going on a business trip with her boss. Chloe suggests she can go with Nicole. Brady argues that she doesn’t deal with the client directly and he’s expecting to see him. Chloe suggests he go with Nicole then. Brady asks why she’s fighting him on this as he thought she would jump at the chance to see her family in New York. Chloe is confused as first he says it’s about business, then he’s saying he can see her family, so she asks what difference it makes who goes as long as they make the meeting, unless he wants her to go with him so they can spend time together alone. Brady asks why he would need to be alone with her when he’s alone with her all the time at the office. Chloe says an overnight trip to New York is kind of different. Brady gets a call from Nicole, saying she’s not coming in to the office today. Brady says it’s okay as he and Chloe got her covered. Brady asks if there is anything they can do to help. Nicole says she really needs some space right now and is going to take the rest of the week off. Brady assures that the’s there if she needs him as they hang up. Gabi then approaches Nicole outside the Pub and asks if she’s okay. Nicole responds that she’s not and she’s not sure she ever will be. Gabi says she’s sorry as she heard about what happened at her anniversary party. Nicole says she’s the one who should be sorry since Roman made it clear that she’s the one who brought this hell onto herself and Eric. Gabi acknowledges that Roman can be a little judgy. Nicole knows Roman thinks she’s a monster and the rest of the town does too. Gabi says not everyone, and definitely not Rafe.

Rafe questions Ava ever listening to anything Gabi has to say. Ava says normally she doesn’t since she’s always been hostile to her, but the other day, Gabi kept insisting that Rafe had feelings for Nicole while she kept saying that they are just friends. Rafe says that’s the truth. Ava asks if it is, since Gabi, who knows him better than anyone, seems to think that the only reason Rafe and Nicole weren’t romantic with each other was because she was married, but she’s single now. Ava adds that Gabi thinks maybe they will decide to take it to the next level. Rafe says that’s just Gabi being Gabi and playing mind games with her. Rafe can’t believe Ava fell for that. Ava guesses she’s just clueless and gullible.

Jake goes to the Titan office for his interview with Philip. Philip says he needs to decide today about hiring him. Jake sensed the first interview went well but he’s happy to clear up any questions or concerns. Philip informs him that Kate was just there, trying very hard to persuade him not to hire him. Jake says that’s for very personal reasons. Philip brings up that Kate had a valid point in suggesting that Jake is a trojan horse as Kate thinks that Gabi wants to get Jake in the door, so they can team up and take him down. Philip asks if Kate’s right about that. Jake claims Kate is reaching and is just trying to hurt him as much as she can, since he hurt her. Philip agrees that her perspective is clouded by their break-up, but she is a very savvy business woman so he can’t just dismiss her theory. Jake brings up that everything he knows about the corporate world, Kate taught him. Jake declares that DiMera kicked him out and now he’s going to destroy them since he has the skills, the knowledge, and more motivation than he can imagine which is why Kate doesn’t want him working for Titan and also why Philip should hire him.

Brady informs Chloe that Nicole is going to be out for the week and he told her they would cover for her. Brady adds that he feels bad for her because she’s really hurting. Chloe suggests she should go find her but Brady mentions that she said she wanted space, so they should respect that. Brady adds that it also means Nicole can’t go to New York, so he and Chloe have no choice but to go together.

Nicole tells Gabi that Rafe is a wonderful friend and always finds a way to be there for her when she needs him. Nicole says she was a mess the other night when Rafe came over and he was so understanding and supportive. Gabi states that Rafe hates seeing her in pain. Nicole says after they talked, she told Rafe that he could go but he stayed and made her macaroni and cheese. Nicole admits it was very kind of him but he could’ve been home enjoying a wonderful meal with Ava, so she felt really guilty. Gabi remarks that if Rafe stayed with her, it’s because he wanted to. Nicole repeats that Rafe is a wonderful friend, but he has his own life so she’s not going to get in the way of that. Gabi tells her that Rafe lives to take care of the people he cares about. Gabi mentions that she just left Rafe at home and bets that Nicole is still on his mind. Gabi thinks Rafe would be grateful if Nicole went over there and leaned on him right now. Nicole is unsure but Gabi points out that it would save Rafe from having to come find her. Gabi encourages Nicole to go see Rafe so she walks away.

Rafe tells Ava that he never said she was gullible, just that she shouldn’t listen to a word that Gabi says since she doesn’t like her, so she’s messing with her. Ava says she doesn’t like Gabi either since she’s been trying to get her out since she moved in, but maybe Gabi is speaking the truth. Ava tells Rafe that she’s been watching him and Nicole for months, the looks they share, and the moments she’s walked in on. Ava brings up walking in to Nicole’s place and seeing Rafe holding Nicole in his arms. Rafe argues that he was comforting her. Ava calls Rafe the most honorable man she’s ever known, but thinks because of that he feels obligated to stay with her. Rafe insists that’s not true. Ava says he can continue to deny it but it’s not doing either of them any favors for him to continue to deny how he feels about Nicole. Ava then storms out of the house.

Philip tells Jake that he likes his confidence, but he can’t be too careful as he worked very hard to regain Victor’s trust. Philip declares that he can’t hire someone who plans to undermine him. Jake asks what his gut tells him. Philip says he was inclined to give him a shot but then Kate showed up. Jake appreciates his consideration, but if he’s going to put more stock in his mother’s opinion than his own instincts, then they have nothing further to talk about. Jake thanks Philip for his time and exits the office.

Brady tells Chloe that he will tell the pilot that they are on their way. Chloe asks why he really wants to take this trip with her.

Gabi finds Ava eating alone in the town square and remarks that breakfast at home must not have been very satisfying. Ava tells her to go away. Gabi feels that’s what Rafe wants Ava to do, now that Nicole is so available.

 

Nicole goes to Rafe’s house.

Xander goes to shower but Gwen shows up at his door. Xander asks what he can do for her. Gwen responds that she came to say she’s sorry.

Eli and Lani go to Paulina’s with their twins to meet Lani’s grandmother, Olivia. Olivia tells Eli that it’s great to finally meet him. Eli gives her flowers, so Olivia compliments his manners and tells Lani that she got the total package. They joke about what Paulina said when she met Eli so Olivia wants to know. Eli tells her that Paulina said he looked like a tall glass of chocolate milk. Olivia remarks that Paulina couldn’t help herself because she’s never met a line she wouldn’t cross.

Abe finds Paulina in the town square at the Horton Town Square plaque. Abe mentions the plaque being back where it belongs. Paulina informs him that Julie was just there and they buried the hatchet by agreeing to start over with a clean slate. Abe brings up that Lani told him they did the same. Paulina says she’s so grateful for that as she then asks what about her and Abe.

Tripp and Allie lay in bed together. Tripp then tells Allie that he loves her. Allie responds that she doesn’t know what to say.

At Julie’s Place, Chanel kisses Johnny. Johnny says he didn’t see that coming, but he’s glad it did. Chanel jokes that now everyone is looking at them. Johnny suggests they go somewhere more private.

Tripp says he didn’t mean to put Allie on the spot and she doesn’t have to say it back just because he did. Tripp adds that it felt right in the moment but it’s okay if she doesn’t feel the same way. Allie assures that she cares about him a lot, but she doesn’t know if she’s ready to say those words yet. Allie apologizes but Tripp says she has nothing to be sorry about and he doesn’t want to force anything. Tripp wants to just forget it ever happened but Allie wants him to understand why she didn’t say those words.

Johnny asks Chanel if he pushed it too far and says he was hoping that kiss wouldn’t be the last one. Chanel assures that she doesn’t get uncomfortable and agrees to get out of here and go to his place. Johnny calls for the check right away.

Xander asks Gwen what she’s sorry for. Gwen says she just heard he spent the night in jail and that couldn’t have been pleasant. Xander says it goes with the territory. Gwen tells him that he didn’t have to confess to Jack. Xander feels he did because Jack was on the brink of finding out she lied about her miscarriage.

Paulina adds that she would invite him over, but her mom is there. Abe mentions that Lani and Eli took the kids to see her. Paulina suggests going to Abe’s place then. Abe says that is tempting, but he wouldn’t mind meeting her mom since he’s heard so much about her. Paulina is unsure and says that Olivia is a handful with a lot of opinions about her, him, and Tamara. Abe assures that he’s not afraid of her opinions as he just wants her to know how much her daughter means to him.

Allie says if she still has feelings for Chanel, she wants to get past them because she wants to be with Tripp and to be able to say that she loves him back. Allie says in a perfect world, Chanel would be in love with her new guy and she’d be in love with Tripp and everyone would just be happy. Marlena states that sometimes, things aren’t that neat and tidy because feelings are messy. Marlena says telling someone that you love them is very powerful, so she shouldn’t rush in to that, especially if she’s confused about it.
