Days of Our Lives Update

 

Update written by Joseph

At the Kiriakis Mansion, Philip has a drink as he talks to the portrait of Victor. Philip says he knows this might not have been what Victor wanted but after they take over DiMera, he will see that the forged letter was for the best. Xander then enters and slaps the drink out of Philip’s hand, saying he knows what he did and calling him a duplicitous, lying snake.

Kristen sits at the bar with a drink and thinks back to reuniting with her mother, Rachel Blake. Kristen comments to herself on her mother being alive after all these years and she can’t believe it. Sarah then approaches and says she doesn’t mean to intrude, but she wanted to see how she was doing after she had quite the mother-daughter reunion…

Arnold sits in the police commissioner’s office, smoking a cigar at the desk and remarks that he could get used to this. Jada then walks in and remarks that it’s nice to see he’s making himself at home.

EJ finishes stashing Rafe at the Blake house and then gets a call from Rita. EJ informs her that Rafe did not escape, but he moved him because there were too many close calls like Jada showing up. EJ tells Rita that he found the perfect place to stash Rafe where no one will find him because it’s isolated with not a soul around for miles. EJ then hears a noise and hangs up. EJ then enters the living room, shocked to find Ava tied up.

Belle sits in her room, going through papers until Brady enters. Brady comments on the district attorney’s work never being done. Brady says he just came to say hi so he has no reason to stay but Belle says she knows that look and asks what’s going on. Brady responds that it’s Ava and he thinks something is really wrong.

Ava tells EJ that he has to help her. EJ question what she is doing here. Ava informs him that Rachel lured her there because she wanted her out of the way so that Brady and Kristen could get back together. EJ questions a ten year old getting the drop on her. Ava responds that she had help which EJ questions. Kristen’s mother, Rachel Blake then enters and reveals it was from her. EJ questions who she is while she says she could ask him the same question since he’s trespassing in her house. Ava informs EJ that this is Rachel Blake, Kristen’s mother.

Kristen questions Sarah knowing about her reunion. Sarah clarifies that she meant her and Brady finding Rachel. Sarah says they are all so lucky that Rachel wasn’t hurt, almost like someone was looking out for her. Kristen remarks that she has no idea. Kristen says she’s really grateful for Sarah’s kind words since she knows how much she cares about Rachel. Sarah is glad everything worked out for the best. Kristen tells Sarah that it’s wonderful to see her back on her feet after the serum worked miracles. Sarah guesses the real miracle is that Xander didn’t have to hand over his company to her to get it.

Philip tells Xander that he was just visiting Maggie. Xander asks if he really thought he wouldn’t find out. Philip asks what he means. Xander responds that he has ears and eyes all over Titan, so his little game is over. Xander questions Philip hiring a private investigator to do research on him and using Titan money to do it like he wouldn’t find out. Xander accuses Philip of planning to blackmail him out of Victor’s company. Philip responds that he has it all wrong and he can prove it.

Kristen comments that Sarah is obviously still holding a grudge. Sarah argues that Kristen used her paralysis to try to extort Xander’s birth right from him. Kristen calls Sarah a hypocrite for judging others when they both know Xander would do the exact same thing if the shoe was on the other foot. Sarah calls that a lie and says Xander would never stoop so low. Kristen argues that Xander is as ruthless as she is, maybe even more so.

Xander tells Philip that he’s done listening to his excuses. Philip says he can see it for himself. Philip admits he didn’t just stop by to visit Maggie as he presents Xander with a folder that he came to drop off. Philip reveals that he did hire a private investigator but to dig up dirt on DiMera board members, not him. Xander questions why his assistant said he was asking about his past then. Philip reminds Xander of his time working with Kristen and Dr. Rolf, insisting this was about Kristen and not him. Philip explains that his private investigator is compiling information on every member of the DiMera board and if they get dirt on any of them, they might be able to convince them to vote their way. Philip gets why Xander jumped to the wrong conclusion and admits he should’ve asked him first. Xander admits it wasn’t a terrible idea and that there is some good intel in there. Xander asks what Philip took away from it. Philip says there’s not much to exploit. Xander goes through some of the papers and asks about Peter Blake. Philip says that’s Stefano’s adopted son and Kristen’s brother, so he can’t see him flipping on her. Xander asks why not. Philip talks about Peter and Kristen being loyal to one another, especially after everything the Blakes went through together. Xander questions what the story is there.

EJ calls it impossible since Rachel Blake died decades ago. She tells him not to assume he knows anything about her or her family. EJ reveals he is family, he is Kristen’s brother. Rachel Blake argues that he’s not her Peter. Ava clarifies that this is EJ DiMera, Stefano’s son. Rachel Blake remarks that if anyone knows about cheating death, it would be Stefano’s son. EJ questions her about surviving all those years ago. She responds that her death had been exaggerated. EJ argues that Rachel Blake would let her daughter know that she was alive. Ava reveals that Kristen does know as she just witnessed their warm and fuzzy reunion. EJ asks why Kristen hasn’t said anything. Ava responds that’s because Kristen decided to help her captive. Ava warns that the jig is up and that Rachel Blake will wish she was dead when the cops get there. Rachel Blake warns that EJ is not going to help Ava if he knows what’s good for him.

Jada reminds Arnold of the no smoking policy and asks if he’s celebrating his victory. He asks if Paulina gave her the good news. Jada accuses him of stealing her job and says she had to hear it from Shawn because “Rafe” didn’t have the decency to tell her himself. Arnold says not to make it more difficult than they need to. Jada questions if he’s serious right now, arguing that EJ framed her and he helped him do it. Jada says “Rafe” took EJ’s money and dug up the false accusations against him. Arnold remarks that if EJ is framing her, he’s doing a hell of a job. Jada questions what that means. Arnold responds that the more Jada tries to fight this, the more trouble she’s making herself as keeping the accusations out in the public just makes her look worse. Arnold declares that right or wrong, EJ won, so maybe it’s just best for everyone if they just accept what happened and move on with their lives. Jada complains that EJ took her job and her reputation away from her, so if “Rafe” thinks she’s going to do nothing then he’s lost his damn mind.

Belle tells Brady that she gets Ava leaving town was abrupt but going to see Tripp is not that out there. Brady reveals that Ava is not with Tripp and informs Belle that Steve reached out to Tripp, who said he had no idea Ava was going to visit him. Brady adds that there was no record of Ava booking a flight to Hong Kong. Belle guesses she can see why he’s concerned. Brady talks about Steve analyzing the voicemail Ava left him. Belle encourages that if anyone can get to the bottom of it, it’s Steve, and that he will find her. Belle decides her work can wait until tomorrow and says she’s Brady’s for the rest of the night if she can distract him from thinking the worst. Brady suggests talking about what’s going on between Belle and Marlena. Belle doesn’t know where to start. Brady says she can start with when she slept with EJ.

Ava urges EJ not to listen to Rachel Blake, saying she knows he hates her but he can’t let this crazy lady keep her hostage. Rachel Blake warns Ava to watch who she calls crazy. Ava pleads with EJ to get her out but Rachel Blake says that EJ won’t save her. EJ questions her presuming to know what he’s going to do. She threatens to otherwise tell Ava what really brought EJ to her home. Ava demands an answer from EJ as to what she’s talking about. Rachel Blake suggests she and EJ should talk privately. Ava screams that EJ can’t let her do this to her as they step outside together.

Sarah tells Kristen that she’s wrong about Xander as he is nothing like her and doesn’t value money and power over people’s lives. Kristen laughs that off and asks if Sarah has to tell herself that to sleep next to Xander at night. Sarah responds that not everyone is as delusional as Kristen. Kristen says she knows who she is and questions if Sarah knows who her husband is. Kristen argues that if Xander had the leverage over her that she had over him with the serum, he would use it to go after DiMera.

Rachel Blake advises EJ to leave tonight and never tell a soul that he found Ava in her home. EJ asks what if he doesn’t. She reveals that she saw EJ stash a gentleman upstairs, so if he goes to the authorities about Ava, she’ll have to come clean about his special guest and she’s sure the police would love to know what he’s been up to.

Jada questions “Rafe” really suggesting that she not push back against what EJ did to her and just take it lying down when he trashed her name and career. Arnold argues that after some time passes, her scandal won’t be front page news anymore and then he can convince Paulina to hire her back as a detective, working for him. He tells Jada that they can go back to the way things were, both professionally and personally. Arnold then grabs Jada and kisses her but she pushes him off and slaps him. He questions what she did that for. Jada asks how dare he touch her after what he pulled. He claims he was trying to make it up to her. Jada asks if he was that insecure about losing his job to her that he would align himself with EJ just to take her down. Arnold says that’s not how it went. Jada says she’s finally seeing things clearly now and seeing “Rafe” for who he is. Jada calls him a vile pig, threatened by a black woman in power. Jada remarks that it’s like he’s a completely different person than she thought. Jada tells “Rafe” that he can keep the job and his ring because she doesn’t want either one or him as she storms out of the office.

EJ warns Rachel Blake that he doesn’t take kindly to threats. She claims there’s no threat and is just stating the consequence of his actions, so he gets to be the author of what comes next. EJ responds that he won’t be pushed around by her. She asks how he doesn’t see that they are on the same side as he must care about Rachel. She says she’s doing this for Rachel and Kristen. EJ argues that Kristen wouldn’t do something so dangerous. Rachel Blake explains that it was her granddaughter Rachel’s doing but when Kristen found out, she realized they would send Rachel away to a juvenile detention center. She asks EJ if that’s the future he wants for his niece. She asks who deserves a second chance more; Rachel or Ava? She questions EJ hesitating when he clearly has no love for Ava. EJ admits that Ava kidnapped his mother once. She suggests viewing this as karmic retribution and that the scales have finally balanced.

Belle questions Brady about Marlena telling him about her and EJ. Brady confirms that he got an earful while Belle complains that it’s none of Marlena’s business. Brady points out that she did basically walk in on them together while Belle argues that she should’ve knocked first. Brady points out that Belle isn’t saying it was a healthy and wise decision, so he asks what’s going on. Brady asks if this is a rebound from Shawn and remarks that she’s allowed to have a one night stand with someone other than EJ. Belle understands there’s a million reasons why EJ is terrible for her, but says despite all of that, there is an attraction between them that she can’t explain. Belle compares EJ to a puzzle she needs to solve. Brady says this is worse than he thought as she has it really bad.

Sarah asks Kristen what she doesn’t get about Xander becoming a better man for them, so they could be together while Kristen won’t change for anyone which is why Brady is with Ava instead of her. Kristen acknowledges that maybe she’s not in denial about who Xander is and that she’s becoming more like him. Sarah argues that she has no idea what she’s talking about. Kristen calls it a good thing now that Philip is back. Kristen says it has to drive Xander insane to have to split Titan with his brother and jokes that she’s sure Xander is coming up with a million ways to push Philip out. Sarah informs her that things are going great between Xander and Philip. Kristen argues that they both know Xander is not one to share his toys, especially not with his half brother, but guesses he didn’t have a choice once Philip produced the letter from Victor. Sarah decides they are done here as she has to get home. Sarah tells Kristen that she is really glad that Rachel is home safe where she belongs. After Sarah exits, Kristen wonders what the hell is with her.

Xander asks Philip if Stefano was close to Peter and Kristen’s parents and that’s why he adopted them. Philip calls it a little more complicated than that and talks about Kristen’s mother surviving and hiding away in a spooky old house, but says she did eventually die after being caught in an explosion in Paris. Xander calls it a hell of a story and admits he can see why Peter and Kristen would have each other’s backs. Philip talks about all the DiMeras being that way. Xander guesses that makes most of the share holders dead ends. Philip suggests not focusing on the family and brings up one of the largest share holders isn’t a DiMera at all. Xander doesn’t think Wei Shin would even listen to them but Philip feels he has to be holding a grudge after what happened to Li Shin. Philip brings up that EJ and Melinda waited almost a full year before reopening the case against Li’s killer. Philip mentions needing to clean up his spilled drink as Maggie doesn’t need to know about their dust up. Xander apologizes and offers to give him a hand cleaning it up, adding that he thinks it would give Victor a kick to see them working together like real brothers, making Victor proud.

Arnold/”Rafe” follows Jada out of his office to the police station where Shawn asks if she is alright. Jada says she’s not and asks Shawn to get her out of there, so they exit together while Arnold tells the rest of the cops to get back to work as he then walks out.

Sarah comes home to find Philip and Xander cleaning up the spilled drink and asks if she even wants to know. Xander claims they were brainstorming and had a little mess. Philip says it’s getting late so he’ll get out of their hair. Sarah notes that Maggie wanted to ask him to stay for dinner. Philip says that’s generous but room service is calling his name. Xander suggests he should stay, surprising Philip. Sarah points out that he is family. Philip agrees to stay so Xander goes to tell cook to expect one more for dinner. Sarah then asks Philip about the spilled drink and if they got in a fist fight again. Philip calls it a misunderstanding but he thinks they had a break through and are on their way to being great partners and maybe even brothers. Sarah says she really needed to hear that after tonight. Philip asks what happened. Sarah informs him that she had a run in with Kristen that got ugly. Philip asks if it was over what Kristen did to her. Sarah says it was about Philip and Xander as Kristen kept going on about how Xander would never want to share Titan. Sarah says it got her thinking that maybe keeping Philip’s secret wasn’t a good idea and it was all for nothing. Philip encourages that she made the right decision for Xander and their family and to not let Kristen get in her head. Sarah admits that Kristen almost did get in her head, but then Xander asked him to stay for dinner which is huge for him. Sarah declares that if they really did have a break through, then it was worth it. Sarah declares that the only way the family moves forward is if Xander never finds out the letter from Victor was forged.

EJ accuses Rachel Blake of trying to use his hatred of Ava to get him to go along with her twisted kidnapping scheme. She compares it to what EJ did to Rafe. EJ then agrees not to say anything about Ava as long as she agrees not to say anything about the man he tied up upstairs. EJ admits he has his interests but more than anything, he’s doing this for Kristen and Rachel. EJ warns that if anything happens to Ava, he cannot do anything to protect them so he wants her word that she will not hurt Ava or his special guest upstairs. Rachel Blake gives her word and asks if they have a deal. She and EJ then shake hands on it.

Kristen tries calling her mother but she’s not answering. Kristen complains that she needs to know Ava is under her control and wonders what is going on over there.

Ava struggles with being tied up as she tries to reach the phone as it rings.

Shawn brings Jada to the Brady Pub. Jada drinks shots and says she’s thankful that Shawn doesn’t drink because she’s going to need a designated driver. Shawn asks if her conversation with “Rafe” went that bad. She says it was beyond horrible and that “Rafe” had the nerve to tell her to just let things go. Jada declares that she will never let go of what EJ and “Rafe” are doing to her. Jada repeats that it’s like “Rafe” is a completely different person. Jada remarks that at least with her first husband Bobby, he had a mental illness, while she wonders what Rafe’s excuse is. Shawn says sometimes you don’t know the people you love as much as you thought you did. Jada guesses they aren’t talking about Rafe anymore. Shawn confirms it’s Belle and reveals that she slept with EJ again. Jada is surprised and thought Belle had standards. Shawn says it’s none of his business and that Belle said it was a one time thing that wouldn’t happen again, but he’s not sure he believes her. Jada thinks back to finding Belle at the DiMera Mansion and then tells Shawn that maybe he shouldn’t believe her.

Belle tells Brady that she loves him but she’s not going to let him question her love life. Brady says that he’s just telling it like it is as he’s known Shawn a long time and he’s always been true blue and a moral compass while EJ is dangerous. Belle argues that she’s not some teen girl going after the bad boy. Brady asks if she’s sure about that. Belle then admits there might be something alluring about being with someone completely wrong for her. Brady relates to being where she’s at and says he still is since he has to deal with Kristen, who he can’t quite quit. Brady admits it can be punishing so he’s just worried about Belle and wants her to be careful. Belle says he doesn’t have to worry about her, insisting her eyes are wide open when it comes to EJ.

EJ returns to the DiMera Mansion and answers a call from Arnold, saying it’s not a good time so it will have to wait. Arnold says he just had a run in with Jada that got pretty tense. EJ says that’s not surprising or urgent. Arnold tells EJ that Jada said he was like a different person, so he worries that she’s on to them. EJ assures that Jada doesn’t know anything and she won’t as long as Arnold keeps his mouth shut. EJ tells Arnold they will talk about it tomorrow as he has more pressing matters to deal with. EJ hangs up and heads in to the living room where Kristen is pouring a drink. Kristen asks EJ who was on the phone but EJ claims it was no one important. Kristen asks EJ what’s the matter as he looks like he’s seen a ghost. EJ responds that in a way, he has. EJ then tells Kristen that they need to talk about how he met her mother.

Rachel Blake returns to the living room and tells Ava that the restraints are very secure so she won’t be getting loose any time soon. Ava asks where EJ is. She says he couldn’t stay. Ava can’t believe EJ just left her there. Rachel Blake says she’s afraid no one is going to help her.

Philip tells Sarah that nothing is more impotant than family and they agree on that much. Xander returns to the living room and announces they are all set, so dinner should be ready soon. Philip excitedly says he can’t wait and he’ll have to thank Maggie. Xander says Maggie is thrilled that he’s staying and offered to have the staff set up a guest room since it’s late. Philip knows Maggie means well but questions if they should push their luck. Xander brings up thinking about the DiMeras a lot and they have way more bad blood between them than they do, but unlike them, they remain a united front. Xander thinks if they are going to try to take down DiMera, they should take a leaf out of their book. Sarah asks what he means. Xander thinks that until they successfully take over DiMera, Philip should stay at the Kiriakis Mansion. Xander acknowledges that they’ve had their differences but he is his brother, so it’s his house too. Xander then invites Philip to move back in.

Update written by Joseph

Chanel runs in to Johnny in the town square. Chanel tells him that she was going to get him from the hospital but Johnny says it’s okay as Harold sent a car and he’s doing much better. Chanel can’t believe Whitley poisoned half the cast and crew of Body and Soul. Chanel remarks that at least she’s on 24 hour watch at Bayview so that won’t happen again. Johnny then reveals to Chanel that Abe and Kate sold Body and Soul back to the network, so the Salem reboot is dead.

At the hospital, Alex questions Joy wanting to move with the show to LA. Joy questions if Alex doesn’t since he doesn’t have another job. Alex brings up his family being in Salem. Joy questions Alex wanting to stay for Philip and Xander. Alex calls it a big move for him. Joy asks if this is really about his family or if it’s about Stephanie. Alex asks what she means. Joy guesses she’s the real reason he doesn’t want to leave Salem.

At the hospital, Kayla tells Seth Burns that she didn’t know he was so serious about acting. Seth calls it truly a calling. Kayla wishes him luck in California. Seth responds that she should join him there. Kayla appreciates that but says her work is here at the hospital. Seth is not sure that’s going to be much longer as he reveals that the hospital is about to declare bankruptcy, shocking Kayla and Stephanie. Stephanie asks what this means for the future of the hospital. Seth announces that Salem University Hospital will be shutting down for good.

Alex tells Joy that he doesn’t know why she would think that. Joy then reveals that she saw Alex and Stephanie kissing when yesterday, he was in bed with her talking about Valentine’s Day while now he’s trying to worm his way out of it. Joy tells Alex to just admit that he doesn’t want to go to LA with her because he sees a future here with Stephanie.

Kayla can’t believe the news about the hospital. Seth tells her that the hospital has been struggling to make ends meet for some time now. Kayla didn’t know it was so dire. Stephanie points out that Body and Soul was helping keep things afloat. Seth says that’s over now, so the board doesn’t want to invest anymore in a sinking ship. Stephanie argues that it’s a wonderful hospital. Seth calls it a money pit, so when Abe and Kate pulled the plug on Body and Soul, they also pulled the plug on Salem University Hospital too.

Leo remains at the Body and Soul studio, complaining that he had so many ideas and dreams that will never become reality. Leo declares that he deserves a better fate after pouring his blood, sweat, and tears in to the show and finally getting respect. Leo picks up a head shot of Alex and says he will miss his handsome leading man. Doug III then walks in, reminding Leo that he hired him as his writing assistant and told him to meet there this afternoon. He asks where to begin. Leo responds that he can begin by carrying the office supplies to his car. Doug III asks if they are going back to the Salem Inn to write. Leo reveals they will not be writing anymore from anywhere.

Holly asks if Tate is going to tell her what their Valentine’s Day plans are. Tate questions her not wanting to be surprised. Holly wants no more surprises. Tate reminds Holly that their place is the Horton Cabin, so he thought they could meet there for dinner. Tate reveals that he already talked to Maggie and she gave him the keys which surprises Holly. Tate admits it crossed his mind that after dinner, they could start a fire and do whatever she wants before they have to catch the last ferry home. Holly thinks he knows what she wants to do.

Chanel is surprised to learn Body and Soul is moving back to California. Chanel asks what about the cast and crew. Johnny informs her that everyone is welcome to stay on if they are willing to move to LA. Chanel calls that big news and wonders how many people will take them up on their offer. Johnny says he only knows that Hattie has so far. Chanel asks what about Johnny. Johnny says that’s what he wanted to talk to her about. Chanel thinks it sounds like a no brainer to her. Chanel reminds Johnny that before their miscarriage, they were ready to move so Johnny could take a film job in LA while she had the Bakery up for sale. Johnny reminds her that they decided they were better off staying in Salem. Johnny says they have been through so much that he doesn’t want to rock the boat. Johnny says he wants to focus on them and their marriage. Chanel points out they can do that from anywhere while Johnny doesn’t think they need the added complication of a move on top of everything else. Chanel asks if Johnny is saying he’s going to quit his job. Johnny thinks it’s for the best. Chanel asks if this is really about their future or if it’s about Joy Wesley.

Joy tells Alex that she heard him telling Stephanie that he didn’t want to break up with her just yet and kick her while she was down. Alex apologizes as he didn’t want her to find out like that. Joy says it’s too late now. Alex asks why she didn’t say anything until now. Joy says she hoped he would have the guts to tell her instead of taking the cowardly way out. Joy tells Alex that she will save them both the trouble and declares that they are through.

Stephanie tells Kayla that she’s so sorry. Kayla argues this can’t be happening. Seth says it unfortunately is and figured he would tell her now so she could get the role of Cassandra before Bonnie. Kayla argues that she isn’t thinking of herself but their whole staff and community. Kayla asks about emergencies and people having to be driven across town. Seth claims he’s as upset as she is which Kayla mocks. Seth decides he will go clean out his desk and exits. Kayla tells Stephanie that she’s not okay.

Doug III questions Leo saying he’s not writing anymore. Leo reveals that he was just let go and fired. Doug III is shocked and says he’s sorry. Leo says he’s sorry for him since he will no longer be needing a writer’s assistant as he knows Doug III was counting on the salary to pay back Julie’s family necklace. Doug III promises to pay Leo back for the advance he gave him, but admits he already gave the money to Holly for the money he owed her. He says he can just ask her for it back but Leo says he doesn’t have to do that.

Tate asks Holly if she’s sure she wants to take things to the next level. Holly assures that she has been for awhile, unless he’s not with the whole Sophia situation. Tate assures that he really wants to but he didn’t want to take things for granted or assume. Holly tells him it’s okay as she loves him and wants to make love with him. Tate responds that he wants that too, so bad. Tate and Holly kiss until Sophia arrives and interrupts them. Sophia says she’s sorry to interrupt but it’s kind of important, so Tate asks what it is. Sophia reveals that she might have found a couple that wants to adopt their baby. Tate questions how. Sophia explains that there’s a woman at her church named Ellen who used to be her Sunday school teacher. Sophia says Ellen and her husband are both doctors and would be amazing parents, but she heard they are thinking of adopting. Sophia adds that her mom knows them and thinks they are the perfect couple. Sophia thinks this could change her mom’s opinion on letting them put up the baby for adoption. Tate excitedly says that could be amazing. Sophia informs Tate that Ellen and her husband want to meet with them now in the town square since she has to work later. Tate turns back to Holly, who tells him to go because it’s important. Tate thanks her for understanding. Holly wishes him luck. Tate then exits the Pub with Sophia.

Doug III asks Leo why he doesn’t want him to ask Holly for his money back. Leo says he can afford to be magnanimous. Doug III points out that he barely knows him. Leo says he’s not going to have him go ask for the money back from the girl he likes. Doug III claims they are just friends which Leo laughs off. Doug III thanks Leo and tells him that’s very generous of him. Leo jokes not to let it get around because of his reputation as Doug III thanks him again.

Kayla tells Stephanie that she is shocked and outraged that the hospital would choose profits over the people and remarks that Tom would be rolling over in his grave. Stephanie encourages that it’s not done yet and that there could be other buyers. Stephanie decides she will do a full court press encouraging them to pursue other options and she will reach out to the hospital’s PR department to delay any announcements until they give this their best shot. Kayla appreciates her determination. Kayla wants to make calls but Stephanie urges her to rest and focus on getting better. Stephanie states that Kayla always takes care of her, so she wants to do this for her.

Joy complains that she thought Alex was the one person in Salem that she could count on to treat her with respect and kindness. Alex says he didn’t mean to disrespect her but Joy disagrees, arguing that he wanted her to be his side piece on set. Alex says that’s not how it went down. Joy asks how long it’s been going on. Alex admits a couple weeks ago, Stephanie mentioned possibly quitting her PR job at the show and giving their relationship another try, but he thought she decided not to go through with it. Joy questions Alex thinking about this for two weeks and not saying anything to her. Alex says he didn’t want to hurt her feelings while Joy feels he didn’t want to get kicked out of her bed. Alex admits after everything she went through, he fell for her and this wasn’t some calculated decision on his part. Alex tells Joy that he likes her but he didn’t realize that she thought it was something more serious. Joy asks how many times he’s used that line before. Alex says he didn’t find out until yesterday that Stephanie quit her job, then they talked about getting back together and he collapsed. Joy brings up that then he saved her life which she’s grateful for even if she doesn’t know what she’s doing with that life. Alex encourages that she can still go to LA. Joy remarks that he would love to have her thousands of miles away. Alex says he’s thinking about her future but Joy tells him to stop thinking about anything to do with her. Joy tells Alex to go tell Stephanie the good news and yells at him to get the hell out of her room, so Alex exits.

Johnny tells Chanel that him wanting to stay in Salem has absolutely nothing to do with Joy. Chanel questions if he’s not trying to put distance between them because it’s what he thinks she wants. Johnny says he doesn’t even know if Joy is going to LA. Chanel questions why she wouldn’t and what’s keeping her in Salem. Johnny points out that Joy is dating Alex. Chanel doesn’t want Johnny to sacrifice his dreams because he thinks it’s what she wants. Johnny responds that his biggest dream is to build a future with her. Johnny adds that both of their families are here and Chanel’s business is as well, so he questions moving to LA when there’s plenty of opportunity here. Johnny declares that the only thing he wants is for them to build a family together. Chanel tells Johnny that she loves him so much as they kiss.

Stephanie begins making calls from the hospital, asking to keep the bankruptcy under wraps for 24 hours. As she finishes her call, Alex approaches and says he’s glad he ran in to her as he has some news. Alex notes something is wrong, so Stephanie informs him that Seth told them the hospital is filing bankruptcy and unless they stop it, the hospital is going to shut down for good.

Seth goes to the Body and Soul studio and tells Leo that he’s come to pick up his last paycheck before moving to Hollywood. Leo thought the hospital was his day job. Seth responds that it was, but no longer. Leo questions what happened.

Doug III goes to the Brady Pub and joins Holly. Holly asks about his new job but Doug III says it was his first and last day since Leo got canned, so he no longer needs an assistant. Holly says that sucks and offers a refund for the money but Doug III says that Leo insisted he doesn’t want the money back which surprises Holly. Doug III tells her not to spread it around for Leo’s reputation. Doug III mentions that he’s going to go pound pavement because he really wants to be able to buy back the necklace for Julie. Doug III notices Holly’s school work and asks if her study partner ditched her. Holly explains that Tate and Sophia may have found a couple to adopt their baby. Doug III remarks that he thought the whole adoption thing was off. Holly responds that now it might be back on.

Tate and Sophia go to the town square. Sophia talks about wanting this to work out so badly. Sophia then gets a call from Ellen. Sophia says she understands, thanks her, and hangs up. Sophia then informs Tate that they are backing out. Tate asks if she said why. Sophia says no and that she just couldn’t wait to get off the phone. Tate encourages that it will be okay and asks how hard it can be to find another couple who want to adopt a baby.

Alex can’t believe the hospital is going under. Stephanie calls it pretty shocking but says she’s going to do everything in her power to save it, though she doesn’t know if the odds are in her favor. Alex asks how Kayla is taking it. Stephanie says she’s devastated. Stephanie then tells Alex to lay on the bad news he had. Alex says it’s not necessarily bad news but might not be the best time to talk about it. Alex then informs her that he and Joy ended things. Stephanie asks if he broke up with her, but Alex reveals that Joy broke up with him.

Joy talks to her mother Nancy on the phone and tells her not to fly out, insisting that she is fine. Joy adds that she doesn’t know if she’s going to LA because everything is up in the air right now.

Sophia questions Tate saying it’s not hard to find another couple to adopt their baby. Sophia argues that they know her mother will reject anyone that isn’t the perfect parent. Tate knows her mom will make it difficult but encourages that they cannot give up hope. Sophia starts to cry, asking when this nightmare is going to end. Johnny and Chanel then approach. Johnny greets Tate and asks how it’s going. Tate introduces Sophia to Johnny and Chanel. Chanel remembers Sophia from stopping by the Bakery on her way to work at the Bistro. Chanel says it’s been a minute which Sophia blames on her morning sickness. Johnny asks if everything is okay. Tate explains that they were supposed to meet a couple who was interested in adopting their baby but they cancelled. Sophia bets they were just afraid of her mother’s wrath. Tate adds that they hoped they could find a couple that Sophia’s mother approved of to change her mind. Sophia decides she should get back to work while Tate gets back to Holly. Sophia tells Tate that she will see him at school tomorrow and walks off. Johnny tells Tate that he’s really sorry he’s going through this. Tate says he just feels terrible for Sophia since she has no one on her side. Johnny points out that she has him. Tate doesn’t think that helps since she knows he wants to be with Holly. Chanel asks if he and Holly worked things out. Tate says they are but Holly is still worried about how this may affect things in the future. Johnny encourages that if Tate and Holly are committed to one another, they will find a way through it. Tate talks about wanting to be there for Sophia and wondering if the baby will get adopted or not, so he knows he’s asking Holly to put up with a lot. Chanel encourages that he’s worth it. Tate says he hopes so.

Doug III tells Holly that he hopes Sophia’s mom agrees to let her give up the baby. Holly asks if it sounds selfish how badly she wants this all to happen. Doug III encourages that it’s not selfish, pointing out that it’s what Tate and Sophia want too and it’s what is best for everyone. Holly apologizes for dumping all of this on him when he just lost his job. Doug III says it’s okay. Holly says if he’s looking for work, she’s lived her longer than him and knows a lot of people. He says he might take her up on that.

Leo questions Seth about where he will go without the hospital and where Marlena will work. Seth encourages that they will figure it out. Seth adds that Leo is a great writer and he really enjoyed his stories. Seth tells Leo that he’d love to be featured more in the reboot but Leo informs him that he’s no longer working for Body and Soul because the network decided that for him. Leo complains that he hates LA anyway. Seth asks what Leo’s going to do now. Leo calls that a really good question.

Stephanie questions Alex saying that Joy broke up with him. Alex explains that it turned out Joy overheard them last night, talking about how they wanted to be together and she was pretty upset to say the least. Alex says he can’t blame her as he could’ve handled things a lot better. Stephanie feels in the end, it worked out since they would’ve gotten to this result anyway. Alex says that’s true and guesses now there’s no reason they can’t do this as he kisses her. Alex asks if Stephanie has any plans for the day. Stephanie says she unfortunately has to work all night to strategize on ways to save the hospital. Alex offers to help. Stephanie says she’d love that but he has to promise no distractions. Alex agrees to keep it to a minimum for now as they kiss. Joy comes out of her room and watches Alex and Stephanie leave together.

Seth guesses he will have to hunt down Abe and Kate for his last check. Leo wishes him luck. Seth tells Leo that he thinks the new producers are idiots if they don’t want him.

Johnny and Chanel talk about what Tate and Sophia are going through. Johnny says he feels for both of them and Holly. Johnny still thinks back a lot to when they first found out Chanel was pregnant. Chanel says she does too and even with the complications, they still found a way to be excited about it. Chanel says when she miscarried, that was really tough for both of them, but it made them realize they really did want to have a baby. Johnny brings up Kayla saying they needed to wait six months before trying again at the time and he thinks that’s what they both wanted to do, but then they had their hiccup. Chanel tells Johnny that she still wants to have a baby. Chanel knows they just got back together, but points out that it has been six months.

Leo tries working on his laptop in his room at the Salem Inn but he’s bothered by the sounds of Hattie drinking behind him on the bed. Hattie asks him for a refill of her pineapple guava juice which Leo reluctantly brings. Hattie thanks Leo for taking care of her after she was poisoned. Leo tells her not to mention it and tries to go back to working but Hattie asks him to fluff her pillows.

Stephanie visits Kayla in the hospital and brings her flowers as she checks on her. Kayla says she’s feeling much better since the antidote kicked in. Stephanie calls it a nightmare. Kayla thinks it gave Steve quite a scare to see her collapse like that. Stephanie says she was pretty freaked out when Alex passed out right after telling her that he wanted to be with her.

Joy remains in her hospital bed and picks up her phone as she thinks back to walking in on Alex and Stephanie kissing. Alex then enters the room. Joy says she was just thinking about him.

Bonnie sits in a wheelchair at the hospital as Johnny approaches and greets her. Bonnie questions him being up and around after hearing about the poisoned scripts. Johnny says it wasn’t fun but he’ll be fine. Johnny says the antidote worked and he’s good to go. Johnny asks how Bonnie is. Bonnie guesses she’s not too bad, noting that they just unwired her jaw. Johnny asks if she’s waiting on someone. Bonnie mentions that she just stopped cold when she saw the elevator as it brings back bad memories. Johnny assures her that now that Whitley has been exposed, she can’t hurt them or their show anymore.

Kate goes to the Body and Soul studio while on a call with Roman, assuring that she’s fine as she missed the whole thing. Kate says she’s lucky since she was the only one not targeted by the lunatic. Kate then finds a photo of herself with the red X through it on her desk. Kate claims to Roman it’s nothing to worry about and just a little crisis on set, so she should go take care of things. Kate tells Roman to have a good time in Chicago and sends her love to Rex as they hang up. Abe arrives at the studio, so Kate shows him the photo and worries that Whitley is at it again, so they need to call the police. Abe assures that Whitley is no longer a threat and is under 24 hour watch at Bayview. Kate questions where the photo came from then. Abe explains that they took photos from Whitley’s room and found that one on her night stand. Abe tells Kate that he wanted her to understand the gravity of the situation, because it’s up to them to determine what to do about it.

Seth Burns approaches Bonnie and Johnny at the hospital and mentions that he’s on the mend as well. Seth presents Bonnie a form to sign to prevent her from suing the hospital for her accident but Johnny stops her from signing it.

Stephanie tells Kayla that she’s not going to be Body and Soul’s publicist anymore as she realized she needed to keep her personal and professional life separate. Stephanie adds that she realized it wasn’t worth giving up on being with Alex to keep one client. Kayla asks if Alex is all in on the relationship as well. Stephanie confirms that they told each other they want to be together. Kayla calls that wonderful since she knew it was what Stephanie wanted all along and she’s very happy for her. Stephanie adds that the only downside is that they won’t be working together anymore. Kayla says she was looking forward to that, but after what happened, she can’t complain about her distancing herself from Body and Soul. Stephanie can’t decide if she picked the worst week to leave or the best. Kayla says seeing her happy makes it the right decision. Stephanie admits there is one little problem.

Alex asks Joy why she was thinking about him. Joy says she keeps thinking back to how he saved her life. Alex says he’s just glad that he and Stephanie got there when they did. Joy says she’s grateful they were together and that Alex was there for her as she hugs him.

Leo fluffs Hattie’s pillow and says he now needs to finish writing his story for Body and Soul. Hattie asks about the story. Leo explains that her character Charlemagne gets kidnapped by her maid and replaced by an exact duplicate. Hattie asks if Marlena is coming in but Leo says no. Hattie then realizes that he wants her to play both parts. Leo says she gets two parts and two paychecks, calling it a home run but Hattie doesn’t want to play two roles. Leo calls it every actor’s dream to create two different characters and have two salaries, asking what’s not to love. Hattie says it just hits a little close to home since everybody in town knows that she pretended to be Marlena and took over her life and ended up in prison. Leo feels that’s why this is perfect for her, so she can reclaim it and draw from personal experience. Hattie still feels it’s a little played out but Leo disagrees, feeling it’s classic and the fans will love it. Leo insists it will carry six months of story. Hattie says Leo is such an amazing writer that he will think of a new storyline.

Joy tells Alex that she should be getting let out soon and she hopes before tomorrow, reminding Alex that it’s Valentine’s Day. Alex didn’t think she’d be up to do anything and thinks she should take it easy. Joy is sure she’ll be up to dinner and says she owes Alex everything, so she’d like to take him out. Alex says that’s not necessary. Joy knows it doesn’t make up for saving her life, but calls it a start unless there’s some reason he doesn’t want to go out with her…

Stephanie explains to Kayla that Alex and Joy haven’t broken up yet. Kayla points out that they weren’t dating very long and she doesn’t want Joy to be hurt but it seems they could part ways amicably. Stephanie says she hoped so, but after everything Joy went through with Johnny, she’s a little dependent on Alex right now. Stephanie adds that after she and Alex decided to be together, they found Joy unconscious in her room after being poisoned, so they decided maybe Alex shouldn’t kick her while she’s down. Kayla acknowledges it’s a difficult position but suggests Alex can let her down gently so he and Stephanie can start their relationship. Stephanie says she really hopes so.

Kate tells Abe that she knows it was a traumatic situation but they are in the entertainment business and overzealous fans come with the territory. Abe argues that there’s a difference while Kate argues that Whitley doesn’t get to dictate how they run their show and the show must go on. Kate declares that they are out of the woods while Abe points out that Justin is still threatening to sue the hospital after Bonnie’s accident. Kate insists that Justin will calm down. Abe asks about others in the cast. Kate questions what Abe is saying. Abe responds that there’s only one solution to their problem.

Seth tells Johnny that he’s not directing a scene. Johnny says he’s sure that Justin wouldn’t mind taking a look at the paper work before Bonnie signs it. Bonnie admits she’s having a hard time. Johnny tells Seth to let it go since Bonnie just fell down an elevator shaft. Seth argues that they were just poisoned, so things happen in this town. Seth knows the last thing Bonnie wants to do is make things more difficult for the show, especially with all of their struggles lately, so if she and Justin pursue a lawsuit, the hospital would have no choice but to no longer allow Body and Soul to shoot there. Seth says he’s not sure the show could sustain that loss and Bonnie wouldn’t want that. Seth urges Bonnie to just sign the paper because all of their futures depend on it. Johnny and Seth then both receive text messages, calling a meeting for all cast and crew. Bonnie wonders what it’s about. Seth continues to urge Bonnie to sign the paper but Bonnie is startled by the elevator opening. Leo and Hattie arrive, guessing they all just got the same text about the emergency meeting. Johnny says he’s trying to figure out what it means.

Kayla gets the text from Abe and Kate, calling an emergency meeting at the hospital. Stephanie says she has no clue what it’s about and wonders if Alex knows.

Joy asks if Alex doesn’t have any other plans for Valentine’s Day. They then get interrupted when they both get the text about the emergency meeting for all cast and crew. Joy suggests they should go find out what it’s about, insisting that she’s fine as long as she has him with her. Alex says he’ll go get her a wheelchair and exits the room.

Johnny says he’s sure it’s just an update on Whitley and that Abe and Kate want to assure they don’t have to worry about any more poisoned scripts. Leo remarks that he’ll never forgive them for believing he wrote those scripts. Alex wheels Joy over while Stephanie wheels Kayla over. Stephanie tells Joy that it’s good to see her and she looks so much better. Joy says she’s glad Kayla is doing better too. Kayla is glad they got the antidote in time. Joy remarks that she’s just glad Alex and Stephanie came when they did. Kate and Abe then arrive at the hospital for the meeting. Abe thanks them all for coming. Kate tells them how grateful they are for everyone doing better and recovering. Abe assures them all that Whitley is under 24 hour watch at Bayview. Kate adds that she won’t be able to hurt any of them again. Kate notes that they are cooperating with the police to make sure Whitley stays locked up and she’s sure they will all be contacted soon to make a statement. Hattie asks when they will get back to work. Kate says that’s what they wanted to talk about. Kate says she and Abe did not take this past week lightly and nothing is more important than the health and well being of their employees. Kate declares that they have decided they could not go on with the show without being sure they were all safe. Kate then announces that they have decided to pull the plug on Body and Soul, shocking everyone at the hospital. Johnny questions it just being over. Alex thinks it’s an overreaction. Abe says they are sorry and they know it must come as a shock. Kate explains that they don’t feel comfortable returning to production and feel it’s too dangerous if anyone else gets hurt. Bonnie argues against no one else having a say. Kate points out that almost all of them spent last night in the hospital. Seth argues that the show can’t end like this. Hattie asks what will happen to the story. Abe clarifies that the story won’t end which Johnny questions. Abe says what makes soap operas special is that they never end. Kayla points out that they said it was ending. Stephanie questions if the show is continuing without them. Kate explains that the network were very upset since they love the show and it’s a top producer for them. Hattie asks if they are ending or not. Kate says they are still too concerned with everyone’s safety to continue their show, so the network has decided to produce the show themselves, but not in Salem as they are going to take the production to Los Angeles. Bonnie asks if they are all going to be replaced but Abe says no, so Hattie asks if they are not losing their jobs. Kate then reveals that the network is willing to keep everybody on, as long as they are willing to relocate to California.

Stephanie brings Kayla back to her hospital room and says that’s not what she was expecting. Kayla says it must have been a tough decision since Abe and Kate both love the show. Stephanie comments on everyone seeming shocked. Bonnie is brought in to the woman and comments on being shocked. Kayla talks about not even starting on the show. Bonnie questions Kayla not taking her part. Kayla explains that it was always going to be temporary but she’s certainly not moving to California. Bonnie thanks her for not taking the role. Stephanie asks if this means Bonnie is moving to LA. Bonnie says she’ll have to talk to Justin but it feels good to have the option. Stephanie asks about Alex. Bonnie says she hasn’t talked to him yet but he and Joy are the hot young stars, so the network must be doing everything to try to convince him.

Alex gets Joy back in her hospital bed and tells her that announcement took him by surprise. Joy calls it pretty shocking news but feels it’s not terrible since the network love the show enough to save it and keep the whole cast. Alex brings up having to move to LA. Joy feels that’s exciting and says she always wanted to live there. Joy asks Alex if they are going to take the offer.

Leo asks what Hattie and Johnny are going to do. Hattie responds that she’s definitely going to LA, feeling she has to as one of the stars of the show. Leo asks about Johnny. Johnny says he’ll need to discuss it with Chanel, but they are just getting back on track so he doesn’t think asking her to move across the country is the best decision for them right now. Leo talks about spending most of his life drifting from place to place, but he just fixed things with Javi and doesn’t want to mess that up again. Johnny suggests maybe he doesn’t have to since Leo could write the show from anywhere and doesn’t have to be on set.

Kate and Abe return to the studio. Kate supposes it went as well as could be expected. Abe questions if it did since everyone looked so disappointed. Kate points out that no one did more than him. Kate knows it’s a sad day but feels it’s not all bad news, since the network paid them a small fortune for the rights to the show so they made a tidy little profit running it. Abe responds that it was never about the money for him as he wanted something new and rewarding. Abe feels lucky to have the experience. Kate says she loved it too. Abe declares that they made a damn good team. Kate says she will treasure all the time they had with the Pineview adventures. Abe agrees that the good times far outweighed the bad. Kate can’t believe they actually made it happen after having no idea what they were doing. Kate says even though the team is breaking up before they thought it would, she thinks they still deserve a toast which Abe agrees with. Abe and Kate then toast to Body and Soul. Leo then joins them and comments on the big news. Kate asks if there’s something they can do for him. Leo thanks them for taking a chance on him as writing for Body and Soul had been an honor. Abe encourages that he should be very proud of the work he did. Leo asks for the contact information for the network as he’s not talking about moving to Los Angeles as Salem is his home and his whole life is here. Leo says he doesn’t have to be on set so he can write from here and just fly in for meetings. Kate tells Leo that’s not going to happen. Leo questions why he can’t write remotely. Abe then reveals the network doesn’t want Leo to write at all which he questions. Kate then announces that the network are bringing in another head writer.

Hattie tells Bonnie that it’s a no brainer for her and she is all in on going to LA. Bonnie says she’ll have to think about it and talk to Justin. Bonnie adds that she’s in no shape to make any life changing decisions at the moment. Bonnie notes that Kayla said the part is still hers and jokes that she won’t have to fight her for it. Hattie hopes Bonnie takes it and excitedly talks about the idea of them going to California together. Bonnie admits she makes it sound fun. Hattie says she’ll make sure the dressing room next to her is free for Bonnie just in case.

Alex questions Joy wanting to move with the show to LA. Joy questions if Alex doesn’t since he doesn’t have another job. Alex brings up his family being in Salem. Joy questions Alex wanting to stay for Philip and Xander. Alex calls it a big move for him. Joy asks if this is really about his family or if it’s about Stephanie.

Stephanie asks if Kayla thinks Alex would really go to LA for the show. Kayla thinks Stephanie would know better than her. Stephanie acknowledges that Alex loves being on the show and the fans love him. Kayla points out that Stephanie is here as well as his family. Seth Burns enters and announces that he just turned in his resignation to move to LA. Kayla questions Seth giving up the hospital for the show. Seth responds that he’s afraid he had no choice as he never expected to find his passion this late in life. Kayla didn’t know he was so serious about acting. Seth calls it truly a calling. Kayla wishes him luck in California. Seth responds that she should join him there. Kayla appreciates that but says her work is here at the hospital. Seth is not sure that’s going to be much longer as he reveals that the hospital is about to declare bankruptcy, shocking Kayla and Stephanie.

Update written by Joseph

Rafe questions EJ letting Jada think he left her at the altar. EJ thought he would approve, given the alternative that Arnold and Jada would be on their honeymoon. EJ feels he did him a favor and says gratitude would be nice. Rafe complains that he’s being held hostage while Jada’s heart is broken. EJ assures that Jada will see it as doing her a favor. Rafe questions it being a favor to replace her with Arnold, just so EJ can be reinstated. Rafe says it’s never going to work as there’s no way Arnold is smart enough to pull off being police commissioner. EJ points out that Rafe pulled it off. Rafe argues that Jada is a smart cop and will see through this whole scam to figure out that EJ is behind the whole damn thing.

Jada remarks to Belle that she could kill EJ right now. Belle says she’s so sorry but EJ did say he had no idea what “Rafe” would find. Jada insists the dirt was completely manufactured and asks how Belle doesn’t see that EJ is setting her up. Belle asks if she has proof. Jada says not yet but she will get it and questions Belle defending EJ. Jada says she didn’t come to debate with her and just needs to know where EJ is. Belle thinks back to EJ saying he would meet her downstairs. Belle tells Jada that she doesn’t know where EJ is and claims that she came to see Johnny, but offers to leave a message with the staff. Jada says she will convey the message herself, then she notices the passageway to the tunnels is cracked open.

Steve calls Tripp and says he’s with Brady, who would like to talk to Ava so he asks him to put her on. Tripp informs Steve that Ava is not there. Steve is sure it’s just a misunderstanding. Brady asks where the hell Ava is if she’s not with Tripp.

Kristen questions Ava saying Rachel had help. Ava tells her that there’s someone else there, who told her to call her The Woman in White. Kristen questions what she is talking about. The Woman in White then comes in and calls out to Kristen, revealing herself to be Kristen’s mother, Rachel Blake and leaving Kristen shocked. Kristen argues that it can’t be. Rachel reveals she’s alive, assuring it’s really her. They embrace as she tells Kristen how much she missed her. Kristen can’t believe she’s actually there and says she has no words. She asks what brings Kristen here. Kristen says she came looking for Ava, but had no idea she would find her. She asks why she came looking for Ava and if Rachel told her that she was there. Kristen realizes Ava was right and that she was there when she and Brady were looking for Rachel. She says it was heartbreaking not to reveal herself. Kristen explains that she found Ava’s phone in Rachel’s backpack and saw the text sent to Brady and that’s when she put it all together. Ava says they could untie her so she could leave and they can have their reunion but Rachel puts the gag back on Ava and says now they can talk.

Steve gives the phone to Brady so he can talk to Tripp. Brady asks if Tripp has spoken to Ava in the last week or so but he says he hasn’t once. Steve takes the phone back and tells Tripp that he’s sure everything is fine and that Ava must have just had a last minute change of plans. Steve promises to get to the bottom of it and tells Tripp to try not to worry as he’s got this. Brady knows Steve doesn’t want Tripp to worry, but he doesn’t think everything is fine and bets Steve doesn’t either.

Jada tells Belle that something’s not right here and points out the passageway to the tunnels being open. Belle says they were doing construction down there so she’s sure they just left it open. Jada suggests EJ could be avoiding her because he knows she’s onto him. Belle tries to tell her that she’s sure EJ isn’t down there but Jada goes down the tunnels anyway.

EJ tells Rafe that Jada is not smart nor a cop at this juncture. Rafe calls him a smug son of a bitch. EJ says if Rafe is not going to eat his breakfast, he’ll have to put the gag back on him. Rafe says screw his lousy food so EJ says he can have it for lunch then. Rafe argues that it’s only a matter of time before someone finds him and EJ gets caught. EJ then puts the gag back on Rafe and exits the room. EJ then runs in to Jada in the tunnels. Jada says she knew she was right. EJ questions what she’s doing down there. Jada says she was looking for him. EJ asks why. Jada responds that she knows exactly what he’s up to.

Steve asks Brady to see the text that Ava sent him, so Brady shows it to him. Steve reads the text and says Ava was obviously trying to put distance between them but maybe she was trying to spare his feelings. Steve says it’s possible that Ava went somewhere else and Hong Kong was a cover. Brady calls anything possible but question where Ava went if she went somewhere else.

Kristen asks her mother what happened and how she’s alive. She responds that she doesn’t even know herself as she spent years recuperating after being left for dead, then more years trying to piece together who she was and how she got there. Kristen tells her that Stefano is gone now which shocks her since she’s cut off from the rest of the world here. Kristen questions why she made this choice when she could’ve reached out to her and Peter to let them know she was alive. She says she was afraid that she’d be just trouble. Kristen cries that she could never be trouble and she’s just so happy to see her, calling it a miracle. She talks about Rachel showing up at her door and felt fate was telling her it was time to reveal herself and do whatever it takes to help her family.

Paulina goes to the police station and talks on the phone to Chanel, saying she’s glad Johnny is doing better and she’ll check in later. Paulina hangs up and approaches Shawn at the desk. Paulina thanks him for his transcript of his interview with Jada. Shawn questions her not calling Jada commissioner. Paulina knows they were close as partners, but he hopes he can put that aside as he’s counting on Shawn to ease the transition which Shawn questions. Paulina then reveals that she’s putting Rafe in as interim commissioner.

Jada tells EJ that she knows he’s setting her up to look like a crooked cop because she got him fired and he’s all about revenge. Rafe tries screaming for help, so Jada questions what that noise was.

Shawn questions Paulina appointing Rafe as commissioner and calls it a slap in the face to Jada. Shawn says when he interviewed Jada, she was shocked by the so called evidence and he believes she is innocent. Paulina hopes he’s right. Shawn asks if Rafe said who found the evidence for him. Paulina says he wouldn’t name his source but she has to believe the evidence. Shawn responds that he doesn’t believe it and never will.

EJ claims not to have heard a noise while Jada mentions hearing it again. EJ then says it’s just the construction workers down there. Jada calls him insufferable. EJ says they should go since it’s too dangerous for her down there and she can insult him upstairs. Jada points out that EJ is down there. EJ claims he was supervising and just took off his hard hat. Rafe continues to struggle with being tied up.

Brady tells Steve that he gets why Ava wouldn’t want to get in the middle of his messy family situation but questions coming up with a story and argues that they weren’t seeing each other that long, so it doesn’t make sense why she would go through all this trouble. Steve suggests Ava intended to go to Hong Kong but never made it. Brady questions her not telling Tripp at all. Steve suggests she sent the text under duress while Brady suggests maybe she didn’t send it at all.

Kristen and her mother talk about Rachel and how Kristen named her daughter after her mother. She tells Kristen how she made the family she always wanted, until Ava screwed it all up. Kristen questions if Rachel told her that. She says she thought of this as her way of making up for the time she lost. Kristen tells her that she doesn’t owe her anything as none of that was her fault and she suffered terribly. Kristen says she’s really happy she’s here, but she can’t be part of what she’s doing to Ava so she has to let her go.

Shawn argues with Paulina that Jada was his partner and the best cop he’s ever worked with. Paulina points out that he didn’t always think that way. Shawn says that’s because he was drinking then but he’s thinking clearly too. Paulina talks about Jada being innocent until proven guilty, but points out that they can’t have the people losing faith in the police department. Paulina adds that if Jada is cleared, the job will be hers again. Shawn questions why she had to give the job to Rafe after she just recently fired him. Paulina says she was impressed with Jada’s improved case clearance but now that it’s called in to question, Rafe is someone who has done the job before and has the experience and is a calm, steady hand which is what the people of Salem need. Paulina questions what Shawn has against Rafe. Shawn doesn’t like that he took a job working for EJ and that he broke Jada’s heart. Paulina tells Shawn that he doesn’t have to like it but her decision stands and orders him to get used to the new normal. Paulina adds that she has to go break the news to Jada, but Shawn asks to be the one to tell her.

EJ and Jada return to the living room from the tunnels. EJ tells Jada that he asked “Rafe” to investigate because he was concerned by incompetence from the police department after Jada was put in charge. EJ adds that he didn’t know what “Rafe” would find, but he did find that Jada put people away on trumped up charges and she is going to have to be punished. Jada says she doesn’t believe anything out of EJ’s lying mouth. EJ says it’s enough that others believe it, including Rafe. Belle comes back in as EJ tells her that Jada was just leaving. EJ tells Jada not to come back. Jada promises when she does, she’ll bring the handcuffs. EJ reminds her that they took those away from her along with her gun and badge. After Jada exits, Belle asks if Jada found him downstairs. EJ confirms that she did and claims that he was just overseeing the construction. Belle tells EJ that Jada doesn’t know about them, so she told her that she was visiting Johnny. EJ says that’s good. Belle notes how mad Jada was when she got there though. Belle brings up that Jada said EJ manufactured the evidence that “Rafe” found against her and asks if he did.

Brady asks Steve if he thinks it’s possible that someone used Ava’s phone to text him. Steve brings up Ava’s checkered past with the mob and with Clyde Weston, feeling you can never completely cut ties with people like that, so if someone wanted to cut ties, they’d only have to cover their tracks with Brady. Steve asks when Brady last spoke to Ava. Brady says she hadn’t been responding to his messages at all, but the last time they spoke, Rachel was still missing and Ava was very supportive. Brady mentions the voicemail that came with bad reception which was the last time he heard Ava’s voice. Steve asks him to play that voicemail for him, so Brady does. Brady guesses the text filled in the blanks. Steve asks what if she didn’t send it. Brady admits it’s possible that’s not what she said at all then.

Kristen’s mother questions Kristen wanting to let Ava go free and asks why she can’t keep her hostage. Kristen argues that she always taught her to do the right thing. Rachel Blake says she also taught her that nothing was more important than fighting for love and family. She talks about Kristen’s daughter Rachel being through a lot like Kristen has. She says if her parents weren’t taken from her, things would be very different so she feels Rachel deserves the family that Kristen never had. She asks if she wants Ava to be a mother to Rachel. Kristen doubts the relationship would get that far with Brady’s track record, so she’s not worried about Ava. She warns that if she frees Ava, she’ll go to the cops. She brings up Rachel saying that they were putting her in therapy for sending threatening text messages to Ava, so if they found out about her kidnapping plot, they would take her away and maybe even put her up. Kristen argues that she can’t keep Ava here forever. Her mother argues that she can take care of her until they come up with a more permanent solution.

Brady tells Steve that he has more questions and even fewer answers than he started with. Steve says he knows a few people that Ava was involved with in the past, so he will work those contacts. Brady doesn’t want to lean on him too hard but asks if he could try to enhance the audio on Ava’s message, then maybe they could figure out what she was trying to say. Steve agrees to see what he can do. Brady guesses that Steve thinks Ava might be in real trouble. Steve confirms that he unfortunately does.

Kristen questions what her mother means by a permanent solution. She says she’ll figure it out but claims she won’t harm Ava. Kristen brings up that Ava used to be her friend, so she does still have some empathy for her. She encourages that Kristen has to do this to protect Rachel as a mother, so she has no choice. Kristen then tells Ava that she’s sorry but she’s right that she has to protect Rachel. Kristen’s mother tells her that mother always knows best.

EJ tells Belle that “Rafe” was the one who dug up evidence against Jada and questions if she seriously believes he’d have Jada ousted just because she had him replaced with her. Belle hopes he’s telling her the truth. EJ hopes Belle could stay a little longer for lunch. Belle says she can’t because she has to go to work so they agree to a rain check. EJ tells Belle that he’s glad she stayed over last night. Belle admits she is too as they kiss. Belle then exits the mansion. EJ declares to himself that this is all getting too close for comfort.

Shawn goes to see Jada and says he knows he should’ve called first but he saw her car and wanted to stop by to see how she’s doing. Shawn tells Jada that he’s really sorry he had to drag her down to the station and grill her like that. Jada understands that he was just doing his job and she’s grateful it was him. Shawn is glad she’s there because he wasn’t sure. Jada responds that she’s not sure about anything anymore since “Rafe” is still at the Salem Inn and when he comes home, she guesses she’ll be moving out. Shawn wishes he could help. Shawn then informs Jada that he has some news that he wants her to hear from him first.

EJ returns to Rafe in the secret room of the tunnels. Rafe guesses it was Jada and tries yelling for her. EJ says she’s gone now, but he can’t risk having someone find him as they’ve had far too many close calls. EJ then pulls out a needle, so Rafe questions what he is doing to him.

Paulina finishes a call as Belle arrives at the police station. Paulina informs Belle that there’s a situation she wants to discuss with her. Paulina then reveals that she has installed Rafe as interim commissioner. Belle assumes Jada hasn’t heard that yet. Paulina asks if she has to defend her decision to her too, insisting it’s only temporary until all this shakes out. Paulina mentions the investigation and she hopes Jada is cleared, but if warranted, charges will be filed. Paulina says she’s only telling Belle so she can be prepared in case she has to prosecute Jada.

Shawn informs Jada that “Rafe” is police commissioner again. Jada says she shouldn’t be surprised as things keep going from bad to worse. Jada mentions that yesterday, she was supposed to marry the man she loves and now won’t answer her calls. Jada remarks that he’s taken her job and doesn’t believe in her like he’s a completely different person. Shawn brings up that Rafe was in a coma not long ago, so he wonders if it’s possible that might have something to do with the way he’s been acting. Jada says it’s possible since doctors did say he could experience personality changes, but he was completely fine until a couple weeks ago. Shawn feels it’s still worth checking out. Jada says she’s just afraid she already knows the answer and it has nothing to do with the coma. Jada thinks that Rafe doesn’t love her the way she always thought he did.

Kristen returns home to the DiMera Mansion and finds Brady in the living room. Kristen notes that he’s back so soon and asks how the therapy appointment went. Brady says it went fine. Kristen points out that he doesn’t look like it went fine. Brady assures that the therapist said it was a good first appointment and Rachel is doing fine, but he’s not so sure about Ava since he found out she’s not in Hong Kong with Tripp. Kristen asks where she is then. Brady responds that he doesn’t know but he’s afraid something is very wrong.

Rachel Blake tells Ava that she wished Kristen could’ve stayed longer but now she will look forward to her return. She tells Ava that she will get her some fresh air and wheels her out back in the chair, while EJ then drags Rafe’s body in a bodybag in to the house through the front door. EJ comments that Kristen just told him all about this place and declares that no one will ever look for him here…

Days of Our Lives Update

 

Update written by Joseph

Ava dreams of Brady coming to rescue her, then wakes up and is still tied to the chair in Kristen’s old family home.

Brady goes to the DiMera Mansion where Kristen notes that they have some time before Rachel’s therapy appointment. Brady knows he’s early but says he hasn’t been sleeping well. Kristen offers him breakfast but Brady says he’s fine. Kristen doesn’t think he is fine and guesses that he misses Ava.

Jada calls “Rafe” from home and wonders why he won’t call her back.

Arnold lays in bed watching an adult film on TV in his hotel room as he ignores Jada’s call.

Jada’s call goes to voicemail, so she puts the phone down and looks at her engagement ring.

EJ calls Arnold, who says his phone has been blowing up as Jada has called like ten times and must want answers about what happened at the wedding. EJ tells Arnold well done as he heard he put on quite the performance as the heartbroken groom. EJ reminds Arnold that the next step is for him to take Jada’s place as police commissioner. Arnold remarks that he’s never been much of a 9-5 guy. EJ promises to make it very worth his while. Arnold wants more details. EJ says to trust him and asks if they have an understanding because he’s not stopping when they are this close to the finish line. Belle then returns to EJ in his room.

Ava tries screaming for help until the Woman in White enters and tells her that she’s wasting her breath because no one is coming for her. Ava insists that Brady will as she just had a dream. She informs Ava that Brady thinks she’s flown off to China, so her dream won’t be coming true.

Kristen tells Brady that she doesn’t blame him for being upset since Ava took off to China without saying goodbye to him and broke up with him over a text. Brady doesn’t want to talk about it. Kristen says his relationship with Ava isn’t her favorite topic, but she doesn’t like to see him hurt. Kristen says he can’t take it personally that Ava left because she didn’t want to come in between he and Rachel. Brady argues that they talked about it before. Kristen says it surprised her since she really thought Ava cared about him, but her feelings must not have been that deep. Kristen says he deserves better than to be treated like that as she hugs him.

EJ tells Arnold that they will talk later. Arnold says they will because he will need serious money as they hang up. Belle guesses EJ’s call was about taking Jada’s career since she just read the Spectator and it seems that “Rafe” stopped the wedding and says he couldn’t marry Jada because of a mountain of evidence against her that she’s a corrupt cop. Belle guesses all the hell that Jada has been going through is because of EJ.

Steve goes to see Jada, who informs him that Paulina has her on administrative leave while they look in to the so called evidence against her. Jada asks how this is possible that he was walking her down the aisle a few hours ago and now she’s suspected for being a dirty cop along with numerous other crimes. Steve assures that he doesn’t think she did any of this. Jada thanks Steve for supporting her, which is more than she can say for Rafe.

Arnold listens to Jada’s voicemail and laughs it off. Paulina then arrives at his door and says she has something to say to him.

Steve asks Jada about Rafe not being home. Jada says he was missing since she got home and he hasn’t responded to her messages, so maybe he’s still at the Salem Inn. Steve encourages that she is not alone and promises her name will be cleared, then Rafe will come home. Jada worries about Gabi and Javi kicking her out. Jada can’t believe this is happening since Rafe knows her as a cop and human being and she thought she knew him, but this is beyond out of character for him. Steve says that’s why they need to consider who hired “Rafe” in the first place.

Belle questions why EJ hired “Rafe” of all people to dig up dirt on his own fiancée and what would make him so sure that he would find anything. EJ claims that he didn’t know anything would come up at all but he felt obligated to at least try because of how he had been treated. Belle argues that he has an entire army of people on payroll to dig up dirt on people he wants to destroy. EJ explains that if he dug up the evidence himself, everyone would question it but if it came from Rafe, it would be beyond reproach. Belle calls that a truly despicable thing to do.

Paulina comments on “Rafe” spending the night at the Salem Inn. He says he didn’t feel comfortable going home after everything that happened. Paulina brings up the source of his information being a detective on the police department. Arnold responds that a friend of his owed him a favor. Paulina states that she will need that friend’s name.

The Woman in White calls it romantic that Ava still thinks her knight in shining armor is going to appear but doubts it. Ava insists that Brady will figure out she didn’t send the text message but she assures that it was quite convincing. Ava regrets ever mentioning China. Ava brings up that she and Brady decided they didn’t need to break up because of Rachel. The Woman in White goes over the story she made about Ava going to stay with Tripp and says that’s a better story than Ava just vanishing off the face of the Earth. Ava asks what if she made that story the truth.

Brady tells Kristen that he just wishes Ava would’ve told him that she planned on leaving, so he doesn’t understand why she didn’t come to him first. Brady adds that he tried calling but there’s no response. Brady decides to text Ava. Kristen says she will go get Rachel’s backpack together because it’s about time for them to go anyway. Kristen then finds Ava’s phone in Rachel’s backpack.

Paulina wants the name of the person who found the files for Arnold. He questions why she needs it. Paulina calls it a serious investigation with lots of evidence so she wants to know how they found it, was there an ulterior motive, and argues that Jada has a right to confront her accuser. Arnold responds that he can’t give her the name.

EJ tells Belle that he’s not sure how he became the villain in this situation when Jada cost him his job while she was cutting corners left and right to earn a promotion. Belle argues that nothing has been proven yet. EJ sees that she’s holding out hope because Jada was her champion who got her installed as district attorney, but now that she’s on leave, she isn’t around to protect her. EJ remarks that now Belle is suddenly out there all on her own, totally exposed. Belle warns EJ that his most vital organ is quite vulnerable. EJ isn’t sure he would consider that his most vital organ at the moment. Belle tells him to be careful or he might find himself totally exposed. EJ says they’ll see about that as they continue kissing and end up back on the bed.

Steve tells Jada that this has EJ DiMera’s signature all over it. Jada says that EJ did promise to retaliate but she didn’t think he would take it this far. Steve says there’s no such thing as too far when it comes to DiMeras. Jada talks about “Rafe” being sure he wouldn’t find anything and that he just wanted the extra money. Steve thinks EJ made sure “Rafe” would find something by manufacturing it himself. They agree that EJ would do it for revenge but Jada questions how to prove it.

Kristen questions why Rachel has Ava’s phone and notes that it’s not locked, so she must have disabled the passcode. Kristen sees the text that Brady just sent and the text from Ava saying she was leaving town, except she didn’t write those, Rachel did. Kristen wonders where the hell Ava is if she’s not in Hong Kong. Kristen looks further through Rachel’s backpack and finds her old scrapbook, causing her to worry. Brady then comes out and asks Kristen if everything is okay.

Ava tells the Woman in White that she’ll go to Hong Kong for real but she doesn’t believe her. Ava feels if she told anyone about her, she’d get sent back to Bayview. Ava talks about wanting to be there for Tripp’s wedding, so it would be a win-win. Ava declares that if she goes to China, she will never hear from her again and asks what she says.

Paulina questions Arnold being unable to tell her the name of his source. He says a friend of his did him a favor and he promised there would be no blowback. He says he would insist she talk to the source if he had any doubt the evidence was legit, but he saw the files and there’s no need for that. Paulina questions him believing all this about Jada. He claims he doesn’t want to and calls it devastating but says he can’t say it’s all surprising which Paulina questions. Arnold claims there’s always been part of Jada that felt like she was an impostor, trying to convince others that she was in the right place or that she deserved to be where she’s at. He thinks that kind of behavior can be dangerous, so he does believe it.

Jada asks how to prove that EJ manufactured the evidence. Steve says he has a few ideas and guesses that means Jada is Black Patch’s new client. Jada says she won’t fight him on that and thanks him. Steve decides he’ll get started after checking on Kayla at the hospital. Jada asks what happened. Steve guesses she hadn’t heard and reminds her of Whitley King. Steve says she turned out to be responsible for the tainted cupcakes and Bonnie’s accident. Jada thought she was in Bayview. Steve says that didn’t stop her from going on the attack and she sent poisoned scripts to all the cast including Kayla. Steve says they had an antidote so everyone will be fine, but he has to check on Kayla. Jada sends her thoughts. Steve assures that as soon as he’s done at the hospital, he’s on the case. Jada appreciates that and says in the meantime, she will get to the bottom of this herself.

EJ and Belle lay in bed together after having sex and jokes about hearing a noise, calling out to ask if that’s Sami. Belle reminds him that they agreed not to live in fear of her sister. EJ says it’s quite possible that she could find out from Marlena. Belle says Sami can’t do anything but have a temper tantrum. Belle points out that EJ and Sami are divorced, just like she and Shawn, so they can do whatever they want and there’s no reason to hide. EJ calls that a strong argument as they kiss. EJ tells Belle to go shower and he will meet her downstairs for pastries which Belle agrees to.

The Woman in White questions sending Ava to China and being rid of her for good. Ava tells her that she can go back to doing whatever she does here. She calls it a tempting offer but is afraid she can’t take her up on it. She says she doesn’t have much to do and no one ever comes around, so this is the most she’s spoken to a person in years. Ava questions her not letting her leave because she wants someone to chat with. She clarifies that she doesn’t trust Ava and argues that she would go to Hong Kong and then come right back. Ava promises that she won’t but she puts the gag back on Ava and says she’s already made up her mind.

Brady asks Kristen if they should get Rachel and head out. Kristen suddenly claims she’s not feeling very well and got a headache. Brady points out that they are heading to the hospital, so she can get checked out. Kristen says it’s not that serious and blames the craziness of the last few days catching up to her. Kristen asks Brady to take Rachel to her appointment while she heads upstairs to lay down. Brady then goes to get Rachel while Kristen sneaks out of the mansion.

Belle heads to the living room of the DiMera Mansion, looking for EJ. Jada then shows up and asks what Belle is doing there. Belle claims that she just came to see her nephew, Johnny and asks what brings Jada by. Jada responds that she needs to see EJ and asks if she’s seen him.

EJ brings breakfast to Rafe in the secret room of the tunnels. Rafe mocks getting tased by Rita. EJ informs him that the wedding did not happen so Rafe questions what he did. EJ informs him that Arnold outed Jada as a corrupt cop and dumped her at the altar.

Paulina appreciates “Rafe’s” honesty and can’t imagine this is easy for him. Arnold says he cares about Jada very much. Paulina feels terrible but these are very serious allegations, so she had to sideline Jada to look in to all of it. Paulina mentions having to appoint a new police commissioner, at least temporarily. Arnold thinks back to EJ instructing him to become police commissioner. He then suggests himself to Paulina, to step in for Jada.

Steve goes to the hospital and finds Brady. Steve tells him he’s so glad to hear they found Rachel and asks if she’s okay. Brady says she’s fine and they just came for a therapy appointment as part of her grand plan was running away thinking it would bring her parents back together. Brady talks about bringing Rachel to a child doctor and thanks Steve for helping Ava with the texts she was getting. Steve talks about being sure they were from Kristen while Brady explains the texts came from Rachel because she thought Ava was some type of obstacle. Brady informs Steve that Ava broke up with him and just left for Hong Kong to see Tripp, which Steve calls strange because Tripp didn’t say a word about it to him.

Kristen goes to her family home and finds Ava tied up. Ava questions how she found her as Kristen begins to untie her. Kristen reveals that she found her phone and scrapbook in Rachel’s backpack, but she doesn’t understand how Ava got there. Ava explains that Rachel called her and said she needed help, so she came to the address and immediately called Brady but they lost reception. Kristen questions Rachel doing this all by herself but Ava reveals that she had help.

Belle tells Jada that she doesn’t know where EJ is but she assumes it’s about what happened at the wedding since she read it in the paper. Jada tells Belle not to believe everything she reads as she’s completely innocent and that EJ is obviously behind this whole thing.

Rafe tells EJ that Jada is not a corrupt cop and calls him a son of a bitch. EJ is sure that the investigation will prove that she is and now he will make sure that Arnold fills the vacancy as police commissioner. Rafe argues that Arnold will never pull that off. EJ mocks him. Rafe calls him scum. EJ says he’s one giant step closer to getting exactly what he wanted.

Paulina questions “Rafe” wanting her to appoint him as interim commissioner. He claims that he just wants to do whatever he can to make a challenging situation easier and it’s up to Paulina if she has someone else in mind. Paulina admits she doesn’t, pointing out that Shawn did the job before but had a drinking problem back then. “Rafe” talks about understanding rehiring someone she just got rid of, but points out that the public know him and he’s never had any scandal so his record is spotless and he thinks that’s what Paulina needs considering Jada’s situation. Paulina admits that City Council are breathing down her neck to get somebody on the job right away. Paulina then tells “Rafe” that he’s hired.

Steve tells Brady that he talked to Tripp last week and he didn’t say a thing about Ava being there. Brady says this just happened last night and he was blindsided. Brady adds that he’d love to know Ava was okay. Steve decides he can give Tripp a call which Brady says he would appreciate. Steve calls Tripp and says he’s with Brady, who would like to talk to Ava so he asks him to put her on. Tripp informs Steve that Ava is not there.

Kristen questions Ava saying Rachel had help. Ava tells her that there’s someone else there, who told her to call her The Woman in White. Kristen questions what she is talking about. The Woman in White then comes in and calls out to Kristen, revealing herself to be Kristen’s mother, Rachel Blake and leaving Kristen shocked.
