At the courthouse, Eve rushes in while Brady is parking the car, and tells Justin about plotting with Victor against Theresa, who enters with threats. Before Justin can call Victor, the judge enters and orders everyone to sit, as she apologizes for the short notice on this emergency hearing. The judge tells everyone about the cocaine found in JJ’s apartment.
Abigail can’t look at the test result and moans about how it happened. Kayla says Stefan used her to get what he wanted. Abigail questions the accuracy of the test results since Chad and Stefan are brothers. Kayla assures her there will be no question about the results, and wonders why Abigail would trust Gabi.
Gabi and Chad talk about their children, and Gabi feels she let her daughter down. Chad consoles her. She says she knows Abigail was sick and didn’t mean to frame her for murder. Chad wants Gabi to reconsider going to work for Stefan. She doesn’t want to work for him but Gabi Chic is all she has left, and she won’t give it up. He says many people love her and want her to succeed. They agree they want the best for each other, and Gabi says the fact that Chad still loved Abigail made her step aside when Abigail returned from the Horton attic. She asks Chad if he is still happy. He is. Chad offers to talk to Arianna on Gabi’s behalf. She wonders if Chad and Abigail have talked about having other children. She wishes them happiness, and leaves.
Kate has tumbled back out of bed as Stefan comes to the door and informs her it’s time for her to pay the piper. He starts searching the papers on Kate’s desk, but she makes him stop. He reminds her that she killed his mother. He threatens to show the judge pictures of Leo and her. Titan will come tumbling down, and Chad with it.
Abigail picks up the envelope, and asks Kayla to leave her alone. Kayla assures her niece that she and Steve will be there for her.
At the hearing, Theresa accuses Brady of planting the drugs. He denies; Theresa yells, and promises Brady she won’t let him within a hundred miles of their son. The judge sternly tells Miss Donovan to take her seat, that she is in no position to make threats, and the drugs found in her home constitute a serious infraction. Given Theresa’s drug history, and that Tate could have gotten to the drugs, the judge suspends Theresa’s visitation. The Noodle's playmate calls Brady a murderer, a liar, and a cheat as Eve protests. Theresa intends to fight Brady. Eve sports a guilty look. Brady and Theresa accuse each other. The judge tells her that, if she continues to disrupt the hearing, she will not only lose her son, but she will be charged with possession of a controlled substance. Theresa protests. JJ takes the fall. Eve looks guilty again.
Kate accuses Stefan as being as crazy as his mother. She won’t help Stefan destroy Titan and Chad. He says she will do it for self-preservation, the way she always does. He can destroy Titan on his own but can do it faster with Kate’s help. It will be more painful for Chad. She doesn’t understand why Stefan is so hell-bent on destroying his brother. All he has are memories of all the people he lost. She accuses him of sleeping his way through Europe (pot, meet kettle) and urges him to go back there, and make everyone happy. Stefan threatens her with a lengthy stay at Statesville. She says he’s bluffing. He says, “Try me; you’re out of options.” Chad knocks at the door, and says he wants to talk to Kate.
Abigail, with that infernal envelope in her hand, comes upon an upset Gabi and wonders if she is Okay. “Just hay fever acting up,” lies Gabi, “Did you get the test results?” “Just rip off the Band-Aid,” continues Gabi, “and tear that envelope open, and find out if Chad is the father of your baby.” Again, Abigail wants to be alone, but Gabi wants to be there. The foolish Abigail reads the results, and stays mum, as Gabi inquires, “So, who’s the daddy?”
