Days of Our Lives
Wednesday, June 13, 2018
A great deal of the show is more or less “filler” except for the scenes with Ben & Ciara, and those are just not to be missed. Tripp is still trying to reach Ciara, leaving messages, Claire comes in, is sorry Ciara won't take his calls. Blah, Blah. He calls Hope, leaving a message that he wants to talk to her about Ciara.
Lani sits with Val, more or less bonding. Val asks if she can be there for baby's birth, backtracks, knowing she has pushed, is sorry, has done it before, forcing Lani to tell Eli it was his baby. Lani admits she was angry then, but Val was right, Eli deserved to know, she has forgiven Val, and sure, she can be there. Val takes off, has to see a patient, and along comes Claire...who has a pity party and tells Lani all that happened with Tripp & Ciara, (including the breakup with Theo) and how she is just a terrible person. Lani assures her everyone makes mistakes, tells her own tale of assuming on her part which led her currently being pregnant. She assures Claire that Theo made mistakes as well, everyone is both good, and bad. Hugs.
Down at the cop shop, Rafe & Eli have no evidence whatsoever in re: Diane's death, Rafe bemoans Gabi being unable to get released now, having been cleared of one murder, gets blamed for another. Rafe asks about Lani, gets good report on the baby, begins talking about Johnny loving FBI, shows Eli a pic of Johnny in the FBI jacket he bought, talks of also being close to Ciara, trying to do dad stuff with her after Bo died as he promised Bo, baseball stuff, mentions she wanted to be an umpire. They wonder if maybe Diane's friends...or enemies....might know something, Eli calls an old snitch of his who is close to Raines in prison. The guy is quite the gabber, but promises to jabber to Raines, see if he can find something.
Meanwhile Mayor Abe has come to see Commissioner Hope, wanting update on Ben, learns Chad gave money and a ride out of town. He then wonders about her & Rafe, she admits putting annulment on hold, he talks of forgiveness, Rafe comes in, he leaves to give them alone time. Rafe wants to talk, Hope sees the call from Tripp, takes off to talk in person with him.
When she gets there, Tripp is babbling away to her, figuring Ciara had told her what happened, swears nothing between him & Claire. Hope has no idea what he is talking about, so now he tells all. Yep, counterpoint to Hope learning about Rafe/Sami. Hope is going to talk to Ciara, learns she is not there, Tripp thought Ciara went to stay at Hope's, and now ….where the heck is she?
And brings us to Ben carrying Ciara thru the doorway of a very messy shack he came across. He stops in the doorway......and his face tells all. (I am saying here and now that Robert Scott Wilson, in portraying Ben, can say more with his facial expressions than 5 writers could say in dialogue). He sets the unconscious Ciara down on the rumpled bed, no linens, wrinkled comforter, where she lays. She has a cut under her chin, blood there, a tear in the knee of her jeans.
Ben looks around, gets a cloth, wipes off her face, strokes her head a bit, telling her to wake up. His hand is holding onto something up against the wall, he looks, and a memory begins, which starts a series of newly created flashbacks with Marci Miller playing the very pregnant, scared Abby. She is begging Ben to unchain her, have her be more comfortable, undo the ankle chain, trust her. She reminds him she forgave him for putting the tracking app on her phone. These scenes are all so good, with Ben flashing back to a memory, being upset over what he did, or said. Wherever Ben looks, or walks around the room, triggers another memory. There is Abby in labor, Wendy helping to deliver the baby, it's a boy! Ben thanking Wendy for her help, pulling out his gun, Abby begging him not to do this, he shoves Wendy out the door, a shot is heard.
Ben puts his fists to his forehead, not wanting to remember. He looks at Ciara, he has to find a blanket to warm her, she is cold. He opens a door to a closet, finds a shovel....remembers returning to the cabin with it after burying Wendy, Abby saying he did not have to do that.....yes he did. He is a father, has a son, has to protect him.
Ben shuts the closet door, opens a cabinet, finds a blanket, is shaking it out, and another memory comes........Chad bursting thru the door, Ben overcoming him, knocking him to the floor out cold, Abby begging him not to hurt Chad, Ben tying him with rope, noose around neck, Abby screaming. Ben puts the blanket over Ciara, tucking it under her chin. He sees something on the floor, picks it up, tis a lighter. He now remembers Chad tied up on the bed, Abby begging him not to do this......him taking her over his shoulder, throwing her on the bed, she is tied up next to Chad who is telling Ben to take her, she is yours. But Ben grabs the baby, his bag, finds the BBQ lighter fluid, sprinkles the bed, Abby screaming, as is Chad, no, no, no. Ben pulls out the lighter, and we don't see it, but sets the bed on fire.
Back to the present, as he now flicks the lighter. On the bed, Ciara stirs, awakens, pulls herself up, sees Ben with the lighter flame......Oh, God, no!
