I wish I knew what was going on, what the plans are.....I was lucky enough to get to see a couple of episodes before the elimination....so can only say that Abby knew right away that Juliette had drugged Chad, punched her as she woke him up, went home, got the story from him. However Juliet took pics of Chad in her bed, gave them to Mr. Shin's son, who refused to believe Chad & Abby saying it was a scam, fired Chad.
I am guessing now, that this is how/why Chad/Abby may return to Salem. But who knows? Maybe the digital series was deleted because it contradicted future story for Days????
