Days of Our Lives
Monday, December 24, 2018
Replay of Friday's closing scenes. Doug is pleading with Julie to come back, she opens her eyes, says you are everything to me, too, darling, looks at him, smiles. Doug's eyes light up, Jen is excited, goes out in the hall, tells Hope, Rafe & Sarah. Oh, yes, Sarah is in the obligatory white coat, stethoscope around the neck, assuring Rafe she does now work at the hospital. Everyone rushes into Julie's room, Sarah check her with the “follow my finger” thing, Hope is asking how this happened. Julie seems to remember everything yesterday, up to going into Gabi's room, she cannot remember what she was looking for.
Chad comes into the Kmansion room, where Gabi had been looking over the DNA results. He asks her what that paper is, she claims Ariana's Christmas list, but he heard her say she doesn't want it traced back to her. She thinks fast once again, talks of the Elf on the Shelf, Ari hearing things at school, wants her to still believe in the magic of Christmas, that Santa is real, etc. Chad seems to accept that, Rafe comes in, Julie awake, Gabi immediately puts up her guard, what did she say about me, I found her in my room, yada, yada. Rafe does say Julie doesn't remember anything after going in. He leaves, returning to the hospital. (I swear every building in Salem is just 2 steps away from each other).
Abby comes into the room where Stefan is staring at his present, anxious to know what it is, she is all Gabby, tells him to open it, he finds the rolled up paper, takes off ribbon, what is this. Divorce papers you SOB. He protests, calling her Gabby. Nope, she pulls of the wig, I am Abigail, I divorced you, I am taking Charlotte and leaving. He argues, she is adamant, is all packed, Charlotte, too. She leaves the room, gets Charlotte in her carrier, Stefan follows her into foyer, she cannot take Charlotte, he is her father, will sue for custody. She ignores him, my cab should be here, picks up the carrier, to go out the door, as Ben come in. Shocked look on her face. What are you doing here. Stefan says he is new head of security, lives here. Abby is astounded...you brought him here? Stefan says Ben was to keep away from her, but Abby is all the more appalled, storms out.
Claire is making cookies for the ornament hanging, Ciara and her get to talking, and each bought the other an ornament to replace the ones broken last year. However, Julie is not awake, and the ornament hanging is cancelled. Ben arrives, has a gift for Ciara(sorry, I missed what it was), she tells of the ornament party being cancelled, he has nothing to do either, she suggests they go ice skating, he is game, her phone rings. Hope says they are going ahead with the party, Ciara has other plans, Hope talks tradition, Ben mouths to Ciara to go, she agrees, Hope is happy.
At the Horton house, small talk between Hope & Jen, you look nice, worried about Ciara, will she really come. Eli & Lani arrive, Lani worried about intruding, JJ might not like it. Jen knows JJ at hospital with woman he saved, will not be there. Rafe has come in with them. Eventually Maggie & Sarah appear, & so do Ciara & Claire, a bit late, forgot the cookies, had to go back for them. And so the hanging begins, (sorry, the tree looks pathetic, but does have nice angel on top. So, we have Maggie, Sarah, Hope, Jen, Eli, Lani Ciara & Claire. Hark, the Herald Angels is being sung in background as they hang their ornaments. There is a Victor ornament, Maggie's is not next to Mickey's...or Victor's; Eli hangs his, Lani thinks this is a wonderful tradition, Hope gifts her with an ornament for David Abraham, which she hangs. Jen is about to hang Abigail's, when guess who storms in, looking rather defiant. Abby sets Charlotte down, takes off her jacket, and now reams into her mother for not believing her, for accepting all Gabi said. Jen is saying no, no, but Abby continues. You still think I am nuts, you don't think I am fine, well I am. She looks around the room, (this is a powerful scene and kudos to Kate Mansi (Abby). She is in tears as she continues to berate her mom for failing her, not trusting her, for conspiring with Chad to lock her up. Well, I have divorced Stefan, so not him, not Chad, not you are in charge of me. I am in charge of my life, I am fine, and I will hang my own ornament. She grabs it from Jen, who also is now in tears, hangs it on the tree, then gives one look around, as she storms out.
When Abby left, Ben sees the divorce papers, realizes what happened. Tells Stefan they can sit an look at the yule log. Both go in the room, but later, Stefan sits, staring at the divorce papers, just staring straight ahead. Ben finally gets up, grabs his jacket and leaves the room. Stefan doesn't move. (he really looks rather strange/creepy)
Chad & Gabi sit on the sofa, munching something or other, laughing a bit, he wipes something or other from her mouth, she hugs him. He picks up a gift wrapped package (for Abby) and leaves the room. Gabi looks at door where he went out, then takes the DNA paper & envelope from her purse. She looks at it, looks around the room, then walks over and throws it into the burning fireplace, watching it turn to ashes.
Hope hugs the upset Jen, telling her to just give Abby some time, Jen sobbing that Gran always told them to have faith, she is trying, and we hear Julie's voice shouting...SURPRISE!, as Doug pushes her in, seated in a wheelchair. Julie looks around at all the somber faces, what is going on? Everyone starts exclaiming over her, hugs, she stands up, more hugging, she hangs her ornament on the tree. Background music is Silent Night, as camera pulls back, then moves back in on Alice & Tom's ornaments, hung side by side.
