Days of Our Lives
Friday, July 12, 2019

Replaying yesterday's closing scenes. Xander fills a bag with food, leaves Kmansion, Hope steps out of the shrubs, follows him. Kristen, in her red dress, enters the cell, gun drawn on Kate & Ted. Stefan & Gabi go at it, on Julie's desk, after clearing it off. Gabi pulls a stapler out from under her, throws it off to the side. She & Stefan are tearing each other's clothes off, really gung ho on that desk, til they are doused with water by Julie, told they need cooling off. LOLOL She is indignant, leaves the office, goes out calling Eli to report these people who broke in and are thrashing around in her office. Out comes Stefan & Gabi, claiming they rented the whole place, including her office, Chloe knows, they have an event tonight. Well, Julie doesn't know, she will be sending her desk out to be disinfected, throws them both out.

Stefan tells Gabi they will just reschedule, not to worry, wants to go back to his place. She says no, then talks of something more than sex going on. Now Julie knows, she will tell everyone, print it on the napkins, & Gabi doesn't want to be known as the gal who used sex to get ahead. Now they get serious, Stefan agrees with her there is something more, he has developed feelings for her, Gabi wants to see where this goes, still can't go back to his place, has to pick up Ari. But can't wait til she sees him tomorrow. Kiss.

Kristen toys with Ted & Kate, who admits they figured out she is using Nicole, & Holly is alive. Kristen agrees, and as to the why.......she wants what is rightfully hers. Ted & Kate both say fine, they could care less, want Stefan to go down, won't say a word about her or her plan. She is still holding the gun, but later is leaving the cell, as Xander comes with the bag of food. She derides him, they go back to her room. He asks what happened (still trashed) then asks if she did it, killed them. She is angry he lied about doing it himself, back and forth, but she finally says she thinks it is to her advantage right now to have them alive. He figures he did her a favor then. Kristen has fixed herself a drink, talking wildly, but smiles as she sips.

Will is being discharged, tells Haley he wants to walk out, she insists wheelchair is hospital rules, he still attempts, Sonny comes along, makes him sit, wheels him out himself. They go go square, order some real food, as Will says. Tripp brings it, mentions he needs roommates, in case they want to be on their own, away from relatives, etc. The pair talk, how happy to be back together, etc. etc. They go back to Kmansion, talk more, Will cannot wait to get back to work, Sonny trying to decide what he wants to do. After he left Titan, so much happened, Leo, Will getting sick, then well, their wedding. Will figures they can talk about that tomorrow. Right now, bed upstairs without hospital scratchy sheets, calling to them. Upstairs they go to have their “wedding night” at last.

JJ runs into Haley at hospital, he is done with his shift, she is happy Kayla gave her back her job. Yak, yak. He got an eviction notice, calls his landlord, protesting. He has always paid his rent on time, yada, yada. Turns out landlord voted for Jack, doesn't like the fact Haley did not get deported. JJ is gonna see his lawyer. Haley realizes what is going on, will find somewhere herself, Nope, JJ won't hear of it. They go to square to get food. And of course, make arrangements with Tripp to become his roommates. He is glad, (they talk of Claire a bit, how none realized she was sick, etc. ). Tripp says Ciara is staying most of the time at Ben's, so rent help is needed. (I think they would be getting Claire's room.) Tripp says with him working so many hours, Ciara rarely there, they would have the place to themselves.

Hope has followed Xander, but lost him, is in some garden with lots of statues. She calls Eli to fill him in, will keep him posted. She looks around at these Greek statues, gets an idea, pulls the grapes in one's hand, and Voila, a door opens to the tunnels! She goes in, finds that door to the cellar, opens it, stares. Ted comes over, hugs her, Kate watches.

Next all are in the Kmansion, Hope giving them water, and being told about this plot. They say that Stefano's child has to be stopped. This all gets dragged out a bit, but eventually they tell Hope that this was done to them by Stefan. Just then, he walks in, everyone stares at him, he is puzzled by their looks. Silence & stares!
 
Fractured thinking and old-fashioned bad judgment abounded in Salem today.

Kristen: This one lost it years ago and has kept going downhill. After telling Xander that he's lost his edge, she inexplicably fails to shoot Ted and Kate. And why is she even still in town. Her idiotic plot to oust Zero has already gone down in flames and the sooner she realizes she's a failure the better for everyone involved.

Ted & Kate: Why are these two being so reticent about Kristen being back? Since when has devious Kate been so easily intimidated? Stefano is long gone and without the power of the mighty Phoenix behind her, creepy Kristen is a paper tiger. Kate and Ted should tell the whole truth so Hope and Eli can take down Kristen once and for all.

Zero & Gabi: These idiots have no sense of place. Even in their over-heated state, why would they think Julie's office was the place to indulge their tacky lust? Now their big Club event is toast and they don't have a back-up location. And if Julie needs her desk sanitized, she ought to give Harold a call. He's an expert in cleaning up tainted surfaces after tacky DiMera trysts.

Xander: Why hasn't he taken down Kristen? If he had, he could pose as Ted and Kate's savior, be a local hero, and Sarah would be swooning over him. As it is, unless he can keep up his fast talking, he could go down the tubes with his deranged boss.
 
I did mean to lead off the summary with the following.......but forgot, however still a go........
Best thing about the show today was NO Eve or Sarah!!! LOL...sorry, but just find it hard to take either one any more.
No clue as to the ridiculousness of Gabi/Stefan & Julie's desk. talk about not being able to control one's self. Give me a break.
And Kristen.....she has always been "off", but this now ......yep, Bayview should get another bed ready.
 
Thanks, Poirot.

I guess Ted and Kate made a deal with Kristen to stay alive. Will they tell
anyone Holly is alive?

Hope was smart when she figured out how to get to the secret tunnels.
Will she be smart enough to know Ted and Kate are lying?

Ted shouldn't have lied to Hope since he keeps saying he wants to be
a better person.

JJ and Harley were lucky they found a new place to live so fast after he
was evicted.
 
Aside from Tuesday, this show was completely unrecognizable this week. A few hours ago, Hope was "devastated" over Claire. Now she's obsessing over shady Ted. Grandmother of the year folks. Yes it's still the same day.

Why would these 3 idiots lounge around the DiMansion when it is the scene of their kidnapping???? And none of them live there. Who comes up with this stuff?

So we've lost JJ's apartment set now? Will someone else's home replace it?

I did like that Tripp mentioned Ciara still lived there.

We didn't have Eve and Sarah but we had Kate and Haley. The show is focused on entirely the wrong characters. I do wish they'd make JJ a cop again as he was much more interesting as a cop.
