Days of Our Lives
Wednesday, June 14, 2017

And wow, the Emmy today goes to Christopher Sean who plays Paul. But first, in the square, Jade comes along as Joey sits on a bench, all upset & carrying on, because she applied for a job at the yogurt place, thought she was a shoo in, and did not get it. She rants on and on, Joey goes and gets her favorite sundae, it calms her down, she is all happy. He mentions he is proud of her for not mooching off his brother, free rent, etc. and trying to get a job, being responsible. Cue Jade to now read more into that, as she asks him to ask Uncle Roman if he could give her a job at the Pub. Joey doesn't think that a good idea, she realizes he figures they would be working closely together, then notes he probably would realize he is in love with her. Joey denies, she insists, he lets her have her opinion, he doesn't agree, and is not because of his parents, it is himself.

Steve comes to see Adrienne, no further news on the plane, she is all upset, talks of how Sonny worried about her with her illness, wants Steve to talk to her, about anything else. He says he thinks he is making progress with Tripp, then yaks about Sebastian Howard, & how he is going to find the dude who is trying to take her paper away from her.

Replay of Abe & Hope finding the video on Theo's computer, being appalled. They rush over to the kids' apartment, are angry, etc. Theo has no idea what they are talking about, he did not have any video on his laptop. Claire makes just one denial, then admits she knew, but did not do it. Theo is upset and leaves, Abe follows, but they talk in the hall. Theo obviously had no clue, figures Claire must have, cannot believe it, then remembers how she was all about fame, losing followers, etc. etc. Inside, Hope wants the truth from Claire, no fudging, Claire tells about Jade's idea, how she nixed it, so Jade secretly set up the camera without her knowing, figuring she was helping Claire's career. When she showed Claire, she was appalled, deleted it, forgot to empty the trash. Hope finally believes her, hugs, etc. Hope leaves the apartment, after promising Claire she would have the IT guys check and make sure the video is not up in the cloud or something. Hope leaves with Abe, Theo goes inside. Claire explains, Theo doesn't believe a word, he knows how much fame meant to Claire, thought they had something good, great actually. He walks out on her.

On the island, Sonny & JJ argue about Paul, with Sonny wanting the group to not harm Paul in any way. JJ tries to explain the danger to them all, Paul being sick, but sonny doesn't want him hurt, will go look by himself.

Meanwhile, Chad & Gabi take a break from searching, he is making sure his gun is working, they get to talking about themselves, where they are going with their relationship, blah, blah. chad does seem to still have feelings for his wife, but she has made it clear she wants no part of him. Lots of what ifs....what if Abby changes her mind, what if they never get off the island, what if, yada, yada, Gabi says I love you, Chad says it back, kissssss. And along comes JJ, looking for Sonny, Chad goes to try and find him, JJ & Gabi have a short conversation about her & Chad....and Abby ending the marriage.

Sonny finds Paul, who has a knife, is breathing heavily, is scared, doesn't know what is wrong with him, he feels so weird. Sonny is talking quietly, non-stop, trying to get Paul to put down the knife. (Paul is terrific in these scenes). Sonny talks and talks, remind Sonny how much he loves him, how he can help him, just put the gun down. Suddenly Chad pops in, gun drawn, Paul grabs Sonny around the neck, holding the knife to it, threatening to kill him. JJ appears, his gun drawn as well. Sonny is still trying to appease Paul, who is threatening to kill Sonny, knife tip at his throat. Gabi appears as well, stays in the background.

Chad & JJ finally lay down their guns, pointing out to Paul they have done as he asked, let Sonny go. Paul pushes Sonny aside, grabs one of the guns, as Sonny falls to the ground, his head hitting a rock, blood appearing. Gabi is screaming that Sonny is hurt, is bleeding, that they all love Paul and love Sonny, they have to help him. Paul continues to hold Chad, JJ & Gabi at bay, pointing the gun at them.

Steve is being hustled along an alley by some burly guy in a guard's uniform. Steve pretends to be an old friend of Sebastian's, just wanted to say hi. Guard says he has no appt. don't try it again, he will call police. He leaves. Steve mutters that since the front door did not work, there always is another way.

And next, he enters an office (you have all seen it before, same one, window next to the door, etc. ) just redecorated, plaque on desk says Sebastian Howard. He begins looking thru a couple of drawers, notes there are no family pictures, none of any kind. He sits in the chair, looking in a couple other drawers, a female voice says "can I help you?". He looks up, a blond woman stands inside the doorway. "Well, Steve Johnson". He says, "Anjelica Deveraux".
 
Hope and Abe are horrified over the video. Theo and Claire are at the loft and she asks him to do a thorough scan of her laptop to make sure it sn't having any security issues. He says it's fine, and she asks when Abe will be done with Theo's laptop. Theo doesn't know when. BANG BANG BANG, Abe and Hope come through the door. "We've seen the video" :angry:Cue Theo's confusion and Claire's guilt. What if it had been accidentally attached to an e-mail or posted to social media, Hope asks. Theo's totally confused, but Claire admits to knowing about it. Abe says "of you and Claire having sex", while Theo looks stunned.

Abe asks Claire to explain herself, while Theo comes to her defense. She tries to explain what happened, but Theo's not having any of it; she tries to say she had nothing to do with it. Theo storms out (with Abe behind), Claire tries to go after him, but Hope stops her, says she wants the whole truth, NOW. Says Claire was going to post it on social media to get popular, while Claire keeps protesting and pleading her innocence.

Claire explains how she told Jade about losing followers on social media and Jade suggested the sex tape. Claire says she told Jade no, but she did it anyway, thinking Claire would end up appreciating it. She tells Hope how Jade uploaded it to Theo's computer, thinking it was Claire's laptop. Hope says she thought Claire was going to focus on her actual music, not popularity. Claire says she is, she agrees with what Hope had said, begs Hope to believe her, that she didn't do this. Would never hurt Theo like that. Hope hugs her. Claire begs Hope not to tell Shawn and Belle and asks if Hope can have the Salem PD techie make sure it's scrubbed completely from their laptops and the cloud. Hope agrees.

Abe and Theo talk outside the loft. Abe is pretty blindsided by the fact that Theo had sex. Now Theo is just upset and angry over what Claire supposedly did. He says Claire just did this to get more online followers. Hope comes out, asks if Theo is OK. He goes to talk to Claire, while Abe and Hope stand in the hall. Then they are back at the cop shop. She assures Abe the techie made sure the video was scrubbed completely. She mentions Theo, and Abe jumps in to say Theo had nothing to do with it. Hope knows, says Claire didn't do it either, Jade did.

Theo asks why Claire did it, but she denies it, then explains that Jade did it. He asks why she didn't delete it, but she says she did, but forgot to empty the recycle bin. He says he wants to believe her, but he knows her and her obsession with fame and popularity. Says he doesn't think he can believe her. She pleads innocence with him, but he says she ruined everything and he starts to leave. Jade then comes to the door and Claire tells her to tell Theo the truth.

Sonny and JJ talk about finding Paul and the Jungle Madness. Chad had read about Peter's illness in a diary. (bet that was some interesting reading) JJ basically tells Sonny if they can't subdue Paul, they have to take him out. Sonny encounters Paul, who is standing with a knife, saying he's so confused, doesn't feel right, asks what's wrong with him. Sonny keeps saying he can help Paul, but Paul disagrees. He's so confused.

Sonny keeps trying to explain what's wrong. Paul starts to calm down a bit and Sonny reaches for him. Paul then grabs Sonny and puts him in a headlock, with the knife to his throat. (wonder if singing Soft Kitty would help? A little Big Bang Theory humor) Sonny keeps trying to talk sense into Paul, who sort of quiets down. Then Chad comes around the bend with his gun drawn. Sonny begs Chad not to shoot Paul.

Now JJ rounds the corner with a gun, Gabi not far behind. Sonny tells them to leave, while Paul barks out to drop the guns or he'll kill Sonny. Chad, JJ and Gabi beg Paul to leave Sonny go. He throws Sonny to the ground and he hits his head and is bleeding.

Earlier, Gabi and Chad sit in the clearing, talking. He still had a red blood smudge on his shirt. I like how soap opera blood doesn't turn brown. He wants to talk about what's going on between them, but she said they shouldn't (as he examines her foot), but yet she does talk about it. They talk about how Ari loves Chad, and Thomas loves Gabi. Gabi asks what if they can't make it together. Chad says he's not talking about "what if." Gabi says she loves Chad and he says he loves her; they kiss.

JJ comes upon Chad and Gabi playing tonsil-hockey and says Sonny went off to find Paul. Chad goes off to help Sonny, while JJ stays with Gabi. He asks about her and Chad. She says they're going to take their chances. JJ said it was Abby's choice to end their marriage and he respects that. He says he hopes this is what Gabi really wants.

Joey sits on a bench in Horton Town Square when Jade comes by, tossing frozen yogurt into the trash and ranting about how nothing goes right in her life. Jade gripes about interviewing for a job at the frozen yogurt place and the manager said she wasn't a good fit. Jade says she's a loser because she can't even get hired to sell frozen yogurt. Joey tells her to sit there for a minute and he'll be back.

Joey comes back with a fresh dish of ice cream (from a different place) for Jade, with extra sprinkles, to cheer her up. Joey's saying nice things about her for applying for a job (and she's loving it, and milking it). He tells her not to give up. She talks about an upcoming meeting with the financial aid person at school. She asks if Joey can talk to Roman about a job at the pub, but he says it's not a good idea. He asks if he's afraid of spending more time with her and admitting he's still in love with her. Joey tries to reinforce he only wants to be friends, but she keeps saying they belong together. She gets a text and it's Claire. (see above)

Adrienne asks Steve if he's heard anything. He explains everybody is doing whatever they can. She's determined to go search herself, but Steve puts the kibosh on that. She agrees and says she's glad he's there with her. She asks him to distract her by talking about his life. He talks about making progress with Tripp. Says he's going to NY to confront Sebastian Howard to see why he wants to take the paper from Adrienne and Jen. They joke about Steve's fee and if she'll get the family discount for his services. He says when he returns, Sonny will also be home. They hug, exchange "I love yous" and Steve leaves.

Steve is magically in NYC, getting roughed up by a security guard, trying to enter Sebastian Howard's building. Steve says he's there to see his old friend Sebastian. The guard isn't buying it, but leaves. Steve mutters that there's more than one way into a building. Steve gets into the office (the blue all purpose office) and there stands Anjelica Deveraux. Surprise!
 
Thanks, JS and Poirot. I missed today's episode because of the shooting coverage.
Wonder if Abe will have Jade arrested for making the sex tape?
Yes, Jade could be arrested. She's violated this Illinois statute:

Sec. 26-4. Unauthorized video recording and live video transmission.
(a) It is unlawful for any person to knowingly make a video record or transmit live video of another person without that person's consent in a restroom, tanning bed, tanning salon, locker room, changing room, or hotel bedroom.


However, the offense is a Class A misdemeanor, meaning that Jade is unlikely to spend any time in Raines's jail. Theo and Claire could also sue the wretched schemer, but since she has no assets, they won't get any financial satisfaction.

As for the doings on Demon Goat Island, JJ, Sonny, etc. must be wishing that they had Xander's cage available to contain the amok Paul.

Finally, it's no wonder that NuJade was irate over failing to get the yogurt job. In a town where people become corporate CEOs with no qualifications, how bad is it to be deemed unworthy to dish out frozen yogurt?
 
I didn't know if you'd eventually get the show or be jammed up with the shooting coverage.

Neither did I.......My local station had even pre-empted their hour of commercial selling for that news, so I did not know if they would show or not. Actually, I think perhaps the first 20 seconds or so may have been cut...??

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
I want Theo to take the train to wherever that awful Teen Ciara is and stay there forever. Good riddance.

The writing for Claire is improving, and I'm intrigued but baffled by the return of the barely-connected-to-anybody Anjelica Deveraux.
 
Too bad they couldn't get Jane Elliot to play Anjelica, but I guess if Jane wanted to keep acting, she wouldn't have left GH, to retire.
 
Thanks, ladies for the summaries.

Another good show.

Poor Theo. I hope Jade tells the truth. So glad the sex tape is gone forever. I hope
so since it's Salem.

Great stuff with Christopher Sean (Paul) I'm sure he's enjoying playing villain again
like he did in Hawaii 5-0 when he played Gabe.

I hope Thurs show will start with all the stories where they finished Wed
 
Why do I get the feeling that the sex tape story got "tweaked" and thus deleted forever (new writing team's work)? Yes, probably some fallout, but at least that tape is gone, and shame on Jade! Whatever would possibly make her think it was a good idea?

I bet you're right. I bet the original plan was for Jade to upload it to social media instead, catching them all by horrified surprise. This way, it was totally contained to just Claire, Theo, Abe and Hope, and no one was really the wiser.
 
Jade will walk; all parties will want the story hushed.

Perhaps Steve will realize that Jade would be a good fit in his private investigator business.
 
Outside of sending Jade off to college in a distant city, doesn't seem to be any other way to get her out of town.
However, remember she has claimed, to Tripp, that Kayla killed Ava. So...?????

I'll take it a step further. I bet including Hope was also a rewrite. I bet it was originally either just Abe or Marlena and Abe. I'm pretty convinced John and Marlena going off to Gilligan's Island is also a rewrite and that's why we aren't seeing them.

I also think we are seeing direction changes with both Claire and Jade. Claire seems to be moving away from her bratty phase and Jade seems to be becoming more isolated. Hopefully she is on her way out.

So Claire and Hope have a secret from Shawn and Belle. I wonder if Hope will share it with Marlena though. Or Eric.

Always enjoy Steve and Adrienne together but why is Adrienne still in a hotel room? Didn't she just talk about Lucas putting Arianna to bed last week?
