Hopefully, the summary is ok. It was easier for me to write summary this way.

Monday's show started a new day in Salem.

Li is handcuffed in the police interrogation room when Rafe walks in. Rafe asks how he liked his first night in jail. Li wants his cuffs off. Rafe says no. They discuss what Li did with Stefan because he loved Gabi so much. Li knows Gabi is going to forgive him (maybe if Rolf fries her brain). Rafe says he's in jail for the attempted murder of Stefan. Rafe wants Li to write out his confession. Li calls Rolf a liar. Rafe thinks Kristen will testify against Li since he tried to murder Stefan.

He mentions Kristen is missing. (first time this has been mentioned on show. Did she escape? Those Salem cops). Li says it was Kristen's idea to mess with Stefan's brain. Sloan walks in and wants the handcuffs off. Rafe says Stefan was on life support and Li tried to kill him. Sloan says she talked to the DA already. She told Trask that Eric lied that he worked for her. Trask is upset with you and Jada what you did. Rafe gets a call from someone. He has to let Li go. Rafe says he'll get a new statement from Rolf.

Tripp is talking to Wendy in the apartment that Eric, Nicole, and Allie lived in. There are boxes everywhere. Allie is going to have things put in storage. Wendy asks why he came by. Tripp says Steve is in denial that Kayla is gone. Then Tripp says he came to see how Wendy since Li arrested last night. Wendy says Li used to be smart until he met Gabi. Wendy says Salem must have virus that has a person in love with two people. She mentions Chanel, Allie, and Alex. Then Gabi, Stefan and Chloe. (so that's what's wrong with people in Salem? It's a virus. Did Rolf make that?)

Tripp tells Wendy that Allie came with Henry to tell him goodbye before she left for New Zealand. Then he asks who else is in love with two people (is it Wendy?). Wendy changes the subject. She's not sure how she can afford a three bedroom apartment. Tripp tells her he'll take a room. He's not going back to Seattle with Joey. He wants to be there for Steve and Ava. He already got a job at the hospital. They discuss getting a third person and if Johnny would be upset if Tripp lived here. Wendy says Johnny knows we're friends (we'll see how that goes). Tripp cooks an Italian meal for lunch.

Nicole and Eric (continued from yesterday) sit down and talk about meeting 25 years ago. Nicole remembered it was today having breakfast with Paulina and Abe. Eric mentions Roman talked about how he likes Nicole and wants them to be together. Nicole is surprised since he has a girlfriend. Eric says they are no longer together. Nicole asks what Sloan did. Eric says he helped Brady betray her. Nicole says then you're available. He says yes, but you're not since you're with EJ. Nicole says they are trying to figure out where their relationship is going.

Eric mentions he needs to start making peace about his mom. Nicole asks why Roman has a change of heart about her with Eric. Eric says he's missing Kate and probably has regrets they weren't together sooner. Nicole's phone rings, then pings. Nicole doesn't want to stop talking to Eric. It's EJ. He says it's important, but nothing else. Nicole is worried it's about Holly. Eric has a question. Eric wonders if she heard anything about the orchid since she's living the DiMera house. Nicole tells him if she knew anything she would have told him about it. Nicole walks away.

Gabi (wearing a dress that covers her girls) is looking down at her phone. She bumps into Chloe. Chloe is getting back to town after visiting Parker at boarding school. Gabi mentions Valentine's Day dinner and Stefan invited us both. Chloe left town since things were getting strange. Gabi tells right before their love-making he called her Chloe. Gabi is done with him and he's all yours. Gabi says she's sort of back with Li. Chloe is surprised.

Gabi gets his shares and he'll be in jail. Gabi will be calling all the shots and not him. Li comes up behind her and says that's not true. He's out since no charges filed. Chloe goes to the Salem Inn. Li says his ordeal is over and he's free. Li wants to spend their first night together. Gabi is upset and says she'll put him in the hospital. She says she's going to Rafe's. Li reminds her she has to live with him. Gabi says not the hotel. Li says he knows the perfect place for us.

Stefan is still tied to the bed. Brady tells Rolf his clam chowder is outside the room waiting for him. Rolf asks about the oyster crackers. Brady says he got those and he can have lunch once Stefan is cured. Rolf says he has to wait until waffle iron is cool. He's afraid he will create a blackout and Roman will come upstairs. Brady says Roman thinks the flicking lights are from Kate. Rolf laughs and says Kate is as dead as vaudeville. He says no one can bring her back. Well no one but myself (does he know Megan has the three women?)

Stefan starts to wake up. He wants to yell. Brady holds his mouth shut. They have been working on him for 24 hours and no change. Stefan talks to Brady that Chloe wouldn't be happy what he's doing (that's a fact). Brady tells Rolf to begin again. They tape the tongs on Stefan's head (looks like a Batman helmet). Brady holds the melon baller and turns on equipment. Stefan starts shaking. Then stops. Rolf says turn it off, you killed him. Rolf listens and says there's no heartbeat.

Brady can't find a pulse and starts CPR. Stefan wakes up. There's a pounding on the door. It's Rafe (surprise, surprise). He wants to talk to Eric. Brady has his hand over Stefan's mouth and Stefan bites it. Stefan screams and Rafe breaks in. Rafe says let Stefan go. Stefan says they tried to fry my brain again. Rolf sneaks out of the room and grabs his lunch. Stefan runs out after he's released from the bed.

Rolf is outside pub when Sloan walks by. She doesn't want to Rolf sign a new statement. She tells him Li will set him up in a new lab. He doesn't trust her, but accepts the offer.

Eric opens door to his room and sees Rafe handcuffing Brady. Rafe says you're next.

Chloe is in her hotel room. There's a knock on the door. It's Stefan (poor Brady. Stefan will probably tell her what Brady did. Isn't what Brady did to Stefan sort of what Li and Kristen did?)

Tripp and Wendy finish lunch. She's happy to have regular food. Chanel and Allie always had take out. There's a knock on the door. It's Li and Gabi. He tells Wendy he's moving in with Mrs. Shin. He gets the suitcases outside the door. Gabi isn't happy.
 
Thanks Kat, good job. Had to laugh when Brady was giving mouth to mouth to Stefan. Did not like Brady pushing the remote to set Stefan off again. That is not like Brady. The sniping between Gabi & Chloe was not needed. Actually, to me, it felt like all the different scenarios were filmed different days over a couple of weeks, then shoved together, as they were all very separate. Nicole & Eric, same ol coversation, just a different spot. Sloan as nasty as ever, doesn't even hand Rafe a court order, just demands he let Li go.

And Rolf, sneaking his lunch out the door, only cared about his chowder & oyster crackers. And Li just barges in on Wendy??? Sure wish Li would have just gone off to prison and we'd be rid of him. LOL

Just an aside from me, but would rather have Belle back as the lawyer (send Sloan away with Li) and definitely Shawn in the cop shop.
 
That's definitely what it is, a small ice cream scoop. I've not seen melon ballers with the little "switch" on them. I have a small ice cream scoop that I use for scooping cupcake or muffin batter and plopping into the pan so the cupcakes/muffin are uniform in size.

So.... was I sleeping when Kristen escaped? Or was she free looking for the orchid and slipped away without Rachel??

I really hope Rafe jails Brady for kidnapping and torture, Stefan was spot on when talking with Brady before the ice cream scoop was turned on...

Sure Li has someone looking for a house for him but in the meantime he will move in with his sister??? How did he know she even had a place to live? Nicole could have moved back in and kicked Wendy out. Or Chanel wanted it for her own place... come on Peacock, money for a new set would be nice.

Did Charlie's set become Eli and Lani's? which became Sloan's...... or is Charlie's place still available for use?

The lighting was off with Chloe and Gabi's chat in the mid morning yet it was dark..... so many scenes just tossed together willy nilly......

still waiting for the big story with the grannies..... guess once a day every other week is the way to keep you wanting more....
 
I think that's completely new info about Kristen escaping.

JJ's old place (after he moved out of the Martin House) became Lani and Eli's place, which magically expanded from a studio apartment to a two bedroom apartment after the twins were born (which was made from parts of Princess Gina's lair). There was never any further mention of the Martin House and Eli owning it, which was stupid for him and Lani to be smooshed into that studio apartment when he owned an actual mansion (that had become a boarding house of sorts with the bedrooms rented out to various Salemites).

Since I don't physically watch the show, I don't know who moved into Charlie's apartment or if they're even re-using that set.

I just checked and here's the last info we had on the Martin House (from Jason47):

Martin House Living Room was last seen on 8/22/17. There were still 5 people living there though, and their rooms were last seen on these dates:

12/8/17 Paul's Room
1/25/18 JJ's Room
4/6/18 Eric's Room
8/21/18 Will's Room
12/31/18 Eli's Room


 
Thanks Kat.

The Brady/Rolf/Sloan/Stefan stuff is silly, and how did Stefan know where Chloe is or that she's back in Salem? In any case, I'm happy with how it turned out. And very glad Chloe is back in Salem.

Well, I guess Li's plan will work out after all. I'm sure that with Stefan (likely) reuniting with Chloe, Gabi will eventually fall for Li again. I hope Rafe doesn't get chewed out by Trask.

Eric & Nicole, yawn. Boring.

I liked Tripp's scenes with Wendy. I just don't understand why Li would think moving in with his sister and his wife is a good idea given the complications with Gabi, to put it mildly. Wonder how Tripp will like this?
 
When Brady was kissing Stefan, I thought that Stefan was going to tell him he loved HIM now!

That was a wacky scene. There must be some great outtakes from it, can you imagine?

If Stefan had been "melon balled," I was going to say that now he "cantaloupe" with Chloe :rotfl:

Rolf is really into the clam chowder AND those little oyster crackers. Good to know. He amused himself when he said he was in the soup. I'm waiting for someone to yank on his ponytail and take it off.

Talk about mixed signals. Will Nicole muck up her renewed relationship with EJ just so she can be with Eric? I hope not. I also don't want her to cheat on EJ with Eric. If she does want to go down the Eric road again, just break up with EJ before things get more intense. Despite the sweet walk down memory lane, I don't think anyone here wants Eric and Nicole together again.

So in the three bedrooms, we will have Wendy, Tripp and Li/Gabi? I think Gabi will take the bedroom, Li will be on the couch. Too close for comfort.

Will Tripp do all the cooking for everyone?

We already know that Li's goose is cooked.
 
Sloan: She certainly rained on Rafe’s parade — miraculously prying Li from his grasp. Fortunately for him, Brady and Eric seem to have fallen into his lap as compensation. Bo Brady is very lucky that Sloan wasn’t around during his glory days on the Salem P.D. She’d be getting all the evidence he obtained from his improper interrogations and illegal, warrantless searches thrown out of court. Imagine Bo saying something like: “Fancy Face, that awful Sloan just got all the evidence I got from Stefano’s safe tossed our. And it finally would have brought down the DiMeras!”

Brady: His Chloe obsession appears to have done him in. Years ago, he got away with ordering a Kiriakis thug to shoot Chad. Will he get away with it again?

Eric: Today, he told Nicole that he was “available.” The way things are going, the only thing he’ll be available for is prison visits.

Li: He really wants to live with Gabba-Gabba? Would she consider locking up her DiMera shares by arranging to become a widow?
 
Truly wondered the same thing myself, RS. A mess it is. The other day I said it was sci-fi comedy.....but it really doesn't even begin to reach that height. I can see Victor, Tom, Alice, & Stefano up in heaven, looking down on Salem, wondering what they did to have Salem's characters, & the lives they lead, deteriorate so badly.

Points to ponder.......

The last I remember Kristen was in jail, and yet Salemites are talking of trying to find her? Guess I am not the only one who missed something. Did she run off with Rachel?

Did Sloan blackmail someone (or do "special favor") to get Li out so easily?

Who is living now in the Horton house, you know Tom & Alice's place.

Wonder why Gabi did not suggest moving in with her brother for a while. Guess that would not work, Rafe would not be too welcoming to her husband. LOL

Did Gabi & Stefan get divorced before he "died"? Because I thought if the spouse of a person who had died married again.........the marriage was invalid if the deceased turns up alive after all. ??? Or am I just confused & they were never married?

Ever wonder what happened to the Martin House? You know, the one Julie gave to Eli? Never mentioned any more, is it?

Do you wonder if perhaps the saga of the 3 women who are thought to be dead, but supposedly are not, but are being kept in those containers.....is going to dragged out til May sweeps??

And then the biggest problem, the women are not being fed, or bathed, or being allowed/able to "relieve" themselves in a lavatory......so...how exactly is Megan managing all 3 to stay alive???
 
The Kristen stuff came out of nowhere, and it’s terrible writing/editing. Where is she? Also, Brady is not being written consistently right now. This is plot over character. He’s acting almost as nutty as Philip. Chloe leads the way in attracting crazies.

I liked the exchange between Chloe and Gabi. I thought it was surprisingly cordial, and they didn’t just go the route of them hating each other over dumb Stefan.

When Li showed up at Nicole’s apartment (I’m still calling it that), I was screaming, “For the love of God, build new sets!” Li lost his job, but he should be far from broke. Even Sloan has an apartment. Li could have that place, and she can be at the Salem Inn. He has more reason to have a permanent address than she does.

Can they only have so many sets constructed at once? Do they just chuck them in the dumpster? What about Ben and Ciara’s last place? Or Belle and Shawn’s house? Or the garage where Jake lived? Heck, they could set dress the K-mansion garden shed as a spare room over the garage at Rafe’s place, and Li and Gabi could live there. The set situation was silly five years ago. It’s beyond idiotic now because it’s driving terrible writing. It’s set over plot over character, and it’s all backwards.

By the way, you’d think Wendy would do the very simple thing of calling Chanel. That was her place just a few days ago, and isn’t she on the lease? Taking a suitcase to her Mom’s is not moving out. Allie is gone. Just come back.
 
Li and Gabi moving into that apartment is ridiclous. Two months ago these two got married but they had no plans for a place to live? I'm really at the point that I'd accept some green screen use to give people actual homes.
 
Did Gabi & Stefan get divorced before he "died"? Because I thought if the spouse of a person who had died married again.........the marriage was invalid if the deceased turns up alive after all. ??? Or am I just confused & they were never married?
No, they didn't get divorced. Gabi was Stefan's widow. DBF said the bounds of matrimony are legally broken upon the death of a spouse, even if the spouse later turns up alive.
