Days of Our Lives
Friday, February 23, 2018
Hard to believe this was a Friday episode, and nearing the end of sweeps month. Replay of Chad walking into DiMansion study, calling out Abby's name, only today right behind him comes Gabi, storming in, no coat, as she goes on and on, mile a minute dialogue, how she cannot sit still at home, wants to clear her name, clackity clack, clack, clack. Chad spills the bean that Abby let it slip to Stefan they suspected him, that sets her off again. She wants to search Stefan's room, find the coat, pass, and lid. What if he is there, oh, she will make some excuse. The conversation is endless, goes round and round and round. Chad figures they have to find the woman who was in the footage, figuring Stefan got her to do the impersonating. He even has an idea who it was, as he talks of Stefan & Melinda Trask chatting it up at Doug's Place on Valentine's Day. Gabi finds it hard to believe Melinda would actually take part in framing her, must hate her a lot. (and this viewer find it even harder to believe Chad would even suggest this)
Upstairs, Stefan removes his shirt as Gabby/Abby walks in, commenting how he must be working up a sweat. Stefan is still confused, talks of how a few minutes ago downstairs she claimed not to have even remembered last night, now she is talking about it. He knows Abigail was ill in the past, thinks she is again, needs some help. But Gabby/Abby insists she is Gabby Hernandez, that nothing is wrong with her friend Abigail, and yes, talks very fast, making excuses, babbling away. She comes on to him, he resists a bit, then just grabs her, kissing her.
Meanwhile, Brady is explaining to Eve how Maggie ripped him up and down, Eve's name not mentioned. He goes on and on about the women he has been with, how they let him down.......Theresa, Nicole, then makes a huge thing over how he has treated brother Eric, and forced Nicole out of town because he could not stand to see them happy together. He says he had something big on Nicole, said he would use it to get her in huge trouble, unless she left with Holly, which is what Nicole did. He doesn't tell her what it was, but is definitely painting himself as terrible person. However, she sees past that, and thinks she is very lucky that Brady seems to be caring for her. He gives her a quick kiss, leaves the room ...before he might not be able to leave.
Hope & Rafe visit Tripp & Ciara, tell them about the Friday festivities being cancelled, but wedding still on. There is some chatter about Van Damme, & the trauma they all went through, but everyone is o.k. Ciara promises to tell Claire of the change in plans, Hope & Rafe leave, Tripp & Ciara exchange a few words, decide they are hungry and leave to get takeout. Claire comes out, grabs her phone, starts listening to the recording, which doesn't give her anything. She shuts it off abruptly as Tripp & Ciara return, claims she was listening to the song she wrote. Ciara wants to hear it, Claire claims not finished, and they can hear it at the wedding with everyone else. Tripp leaves as he promised Kayla something, so takes his food, Ciara is about to settle in downstairs, Claire has a minor fit, Ciara decides she will do her montage at Gramma Julie's, leaves. Ahhh, Claire gets to turn her stupid phone back on, and eventually, hears that Rafe cheated on Hope with Sami.
Eric is at the Pub with Dad, talks about Brady hating him, how he treated him & Jen, he is over Nicole, etc. etc. Etc. Roman tells him how he & brother Bo used to fight all the time, but eventually made peace with each other, and how glad he is they did when they did. Tells Eric that Nicole may go, Jen may go, but Brady will always be his brother, will always be in his life. And one never knows what will happen.
Hope & Rafe enter the Smith Island cabin, soaking wet, as it is pouring rain, despite being mid Feb. and in most places there is snow. He tells her to go take a hot shower (amazing in a cabin empty for months that the hot water heater was not turned off, lines drained, etc. ) and he will get a crackling fire going. She is all upset because they were supposed to be outside, under the stars. She returns, evidently having had the shower, he has a tent set up inside the cabin, and managed to find some strings of patio lights , which will have to do for stars. She is surprised, and pleased. She claims she will make some hot chocolate, but uses her phone, telling Rafe she was just checking with the station. He is alone in the room, sees something outside, grabs his gun, and later is hustling some old fellow inside the cabin. Hope comes, Rafe says he caught the guy snooping around outside, the man says he was only trying to make sure he had the right cabin. Hope says she asked the fellow to come there, and marry them.
Back at DiMansion, Gabby/Abby & Stefan break from the kiss, she seems almost about to go back at it again, when there is a knock on the door. Stefan, it's me, Chad. Got a minute?
