So I actually saw this episode. It just aired on soapnet and I randomly passed it so decided to watch. I'm still a week behind in recaps. So I'll have to read why Eric was in the hospital later.
The Sonny reactions to hearing about Nick's death was priceless. But Gabi did bring up an interesting point, it would have been self-defense if they went to the police then. Therefore, now it's murder. I know Sami is involved and it's Salem so it's unlikely they'd get time. But I think in a normal case they would get jail time. Therefore, I'm once again leaning to Nick being alive. It would be too hard to explain why Gabi, Kate and Sami don't do jail time for this. UNLESS the DOOL writers gave up completely on any sense of realism in the show. And there is no way a secret like this can stay hidden forever. It is a soap opera. I am very curious what Sonny will do with the news. I think Gabi's secrets are really putting Sonny in a corner that could hurt Will when he finds out all the secrets Sonny kept from him. Because I highly doubt Sonny will tell him the truth this soon.
I'm too protective of Nicole right now. I didn't like Marlena yelling at Nic about Eric. Nicole has only tried to help Eric and everyone makes her feel like a monster for having feelings for him. She never acted on them. Somehow Nicole is suffering for Kristen's actions, yet again.
Roman was cute with his great-granpaness with the Gabi, Kate and Sami scene.
Thersea is forever annoying. Maybe they're planning to pair her up with Brady? Since JJ, Brady and Theresa's storyline seems to be intercepting. Too many drug storylines going on for my comfort.
Decent episode but I can tell I'm going to get tired of this Gabi panics over killing Nick storyline super-fast. However, it does seem to be progressing faster than the Kristen-Eric-tape one. So maybe it'll be over early next year during the next sweeps week (Feb, right?) instead of going to Summer sweeps.
