Update written by Joseph

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Update written by Joseph

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Update written by Joseph

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Update written by Joseph

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

EJ has a drink in the living room as Gabi storms in with Stefan following her. Stefan tries to talk to her but Gabi yells at him. EJ excitedly assumes there’s trouble in paradise. Gabi informs EJ that Stefan slept with Ava while she was in prison. EJ laughs as Stefan repeats it meant nothing. Gabi shoves Stefan and calls him a jackass, saying it meant something to her. Stefan asks Gabi if they can sit down and talk this through but Gabi refuses. Gabi announces she’s not spending another minute more than she has to in the DiMera Mansion and that she’s packing her stuff and leaving.

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

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

Fiona declares that she knows Victoria will keep her secret right as Xander comes home and asks what secret that is.

Brady didn’t think he’d be stupid enough to drink and drive but clearly he was. Brady talks about seeing damage on the front of the car.

Brady questions why he didn’t take a cab like Fiona told him to. Brady asks Fiona to come look at his car with him because he wants to know what she thinks, which she agrees to do.

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

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

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