Days of Our Lives
Monday, December 25, 2017
Merry Christmas from the Salem Spectator, but not so merry in Salem today, Lani wakes up, remembers last night, shakes Eli awake, questions what they did. Eli talks of Gabi & JJ having their own romp. Lani resents having revenge sex, as she calls it, has to get to the hospital, leaves.
Gabi is dressed, ready to leave, JJ sleeping in the chair, wakes up. He thanks her for staying, for saving his life. She asks him to call someone for help as he promised, he hesitates, but calls his mom, is coming over, says he wants to talk to Eric about getting some counseling. And to save him one of Gramma’s donuts.
While she is on the phone with JJ, Eric is chomping one down. Earlier Jen had told him of JJ still being so despondent, and how she went to talk to Abe. Eric asks if it did any good, she isn’t sure, but it seemed to do so.
Val comes into Theo’s room, where Abe has been all night. He tells her of Jen coming, reminding him of something that happened some years ago, and he has been thinking of it all night, realizing he has been unfairly punishing JJ. She asks if Abe will be able to forgive JJ.
Steve & Kayla are wishing each other Merry Christmas, talking to Joey on phone. She hates that the prison won’t let them visit today, and also is missing Stephanie. Steve notes Christmas is not the same without the kids, but along comes Tripp, Steve gives him a hug, goes somewhere, then Tripp talks of not having much family for holiday before, and so appreciates Kayla & his father making him a part of theirs, giving him a second chance.
Claire & Ciara both show up at the pub, squabbling immediately about going to see Theo, who should be the one, things get heated, but Roman yells at them to stop it, RIGHT NOW! Steve Kayla & Tripp arrive, Tripp wishing the girls Merry Christmas, Ciara with her nose out of joint, Roman yells that Ma is calling, so, of course, everyone talks to her, including Eric who came in.
Gabi appears at Eli’s door, wishing him a Merry Christmas, giving a hug, but he is not having any of it. She figures he is upset she did not come last night, should have texted or explained further, but he lets her know he knows she slept with JJ last night, Lani saw them, goes on about Gabi assuring him they were over. Gabi tells him she is friends with JJ, who has been having a rough time, and she was not going to leave him as he was about to kill himself. Eli deflates, feels bad, is sorry, etc. etc. Gabi gives him JJ’s gun & loaded magazine, says she was going to give it to Rafe, but can he take it, until JJ is able to return to work. Gabi is not a happy camper over his distrust, has to go get Arianna, promised her ice skating after the presents. He asks if he can meet them later, she agrees.
Gabi sits with Arianna in the square, along comes Eli with a big pink bear. Gabi is embarrassed when Arianna admits she asked Eli for the gift. LOL
JJ answers a knock at his door, finds Abe, who wants to talk to him. Abe tells JJ about Jen coming to see him, reminding him of something from long ago, and the man eventually forgave him. He remembers the pain and suffering he was in, and admits he punished JJ far too long, he was not to blame. (Long scenes, but very good between the two. Abe is going back to the hospital, and thinks JJ would probably like to see Theo, too. Yes, he would.
Claire & Ciara arrive at the hospital, both insisting to Val they want to see Theo. Val says they both can go in, no stress, fighting, tension, etc. They promise.
Steve & Kayla are talking with Jen about her reading the Christmas story to the kids, and Santa perhaps not showing up. A small group of kids sit on the floor, as Jen tells of her grandfather starting this tradition…..and in comes Santa, ho hoing all over the place, but telling the kids first they must listen to the story. Jen reads the first line or two……….fade out, returning with the last few lines. Kayla tells Steve that is his cue. He pulls out the harmonica, tells the kids, o.k. not, just like we rehearsed. Give them a note, and they all begin to sing Silent Night.
Over near Theo’s room, Lani sees Abe & JJ come in, learns Abe has forgiven JJ, hugs him, is so happy to see him. (Earlier, when she arrived, she was starting to tell Val what happened last night, but Eli comes rushing in, takes her aside to tell her of JJ’s suicide attempt. Lani is upset.,….she should have been there for him.) Lani goes in Theo’s room, Abe comes in, tells JJ to come in as well. Val follows. They all stand round Theo’s bed, as Abe takes Lani’s hand on one side of him, JJ’s on the other, they all are holding hands as Abe offers a prayer, crying, tears coming down his cheeks, and tells Theo they all love him, want him to wake up, but if he never does, none of them will never stop loving him. Never! Theo’s head moves a bit, his eyes flutter open, astonished expressions on everyone’s face.
