At the Salem Inn, Adrienne is passed out. Lucas has checked her pulse, but can't figure out what's wrong with her. Sonny is calling an ambulance. Adrienne comes to and says, "It's not time."
At the Johnson house, Kayla and Steve are cuddling and they talk about Adrienne's choice. Sonny calls them to alert Adrienne's collapse, and they zip off.
At the cop shop, JJ is behind on his paperwork (Lieutenant Raines has been yelling at him, we are told). He doesn't need this tonight; flashes back to his convo with Abby about Chad/Gabi. He finishes and calls her, saying they can meet up and see the Christmas lights in the park.
In the Private area, Gabi and Chad and their respective kids have enjoyed holiday lights (in the square/shops). (We actually see Arianna, for the record.) Ari's zipper is stuck in her scarf; Chad comes in to help, close to Gabi. They are close for a moment, he fixes the zipper. She stammers a thank you, he scoots off to change Thomas. Later, he's back, they are making plans to see the lights again later, more stores will probably have displays. JJ arrives; they kiss as Chad watches. JJ has a surprise for Gabi, gives her a letter to open later. Gabi has to drop Arianna at Sonny's, then will meet up with him. JJ leaves, says bye to Chad, who then wistfully looks at Gabi as she watches JJ leave.
At the Horton house, Abby is looking at photos, lamenting the time she's lost with Thomas. Jen gives her her tablet, which has lots of photos in chronological order. As Abigail looks at them, the doorbell rings. Abby goes to hide; it's Laura. Abby does not hide herself and she and Laura hug. Jennifer is furious, "You knew Abigail was alive? You knew!?" Laura tries to explain, Jennifer is mad that this was kept from her. Later, Abby is lamenting to Laura that she caused Jennifer pain; Laura takes all the blame for that, knows Jennifer will forgive her. There's a few rounds of this; Abby is grateful for what Laura & André did for her.
In Adrienne's hospital room, Adrienne blames stress and not having anything to eat/drink since this whole thing started. Kayla asks when Adrienne's last mammogram was; Adrienne says she's followed all instructions and screenings and denies this has anything to do with cancer. Kayla's still going to check.
In the lobby, Sonny laments his decision to imprison his mother in a hotel room as he, Steve, Justin, and Lucas wait results. They talk about Adrienne's stress, Steve says Adrienne is doing too much. Kayla will allow the boys in one at a time, Steve goes first. Sonny will be second.
With Steve, Adrienne talks about all the things she's been doing, joking that she's not been eating right because of her wedding, but Steve is serious. Sonny joins, apologises. Back in the lobby, Lucas is sure Adrienne will be OK. Justin talks about how Adrienne built a home for 5 men and kept them in line. Lucas jabs him about screwing it up. Sonny appears, Adrienne wants to see one of them. (Doesn't say whom.) The next scene is Justin entering Adrienne's room.
Lucas is pouring coffee in the lobby; Sonny apologises that Adrienne didn't ask to see him first. Lucas is OK, it's Adrienne's choice. Lucas tells him that Adrienne will be okay and absolves Sonny of guilt. In the room, Adrienne tells Justin that he looks worse than she feels. Justin feels bad for causing this by crashing her wedding; she says he was just acting on his heart. Adrienne sounds like she's about to lower the boom, says marriage isn't about the big gestures, but the day-to-day things, when a nurse enters and evicts Justin so she can check on Adrienne. (What has it been, 5 minutes?)
At the DiMansion, Gabi has put Thomas down, he was fussing. Gabi is about to leave, gets a text about Sonny's absence. Chad offers to watch Ari, go be with JJ.
At the Horton house, Jennifer comes into the living room where Laura is waiting. Why no phone call? wonders Jen; Laura said Abby's very existence depended on her secret. The love that JJ/Jennifer/Chad/etc felt for her put such stress on Abby, the expectations Abby felt the family had. Laura did not help fake Abby's death, and never discussed that with Abby. Laura asks Jennifer to let it slide; Abby was in a terrible place. Jennifer appears to forgive Laura, wants Abby to open up. Laura says it needs to be on Abby's timetable; don't push her or she could spin out of control.
In the attic, Abby is looking at the pictures of Thomas on Jennifer's tablet sadly. Jennifer comes up, reports that she understands what Laura did and why. Jennifer is going to support whatever Abby wants. Abby will "think long and hard about staying...maybe...and come out of hiding. Maybe."
Back at the hospital, Lucas is in Adrienne's room. He's mad that Justin partially caused this. Lucas offers to step back if that's what Adrienne wants. Adrienne tells him he makes her feel safe, happy, and loved. She loves her life when they're together. The weight is lifted, he feels wonderful - let's go back to the way things were, take it slow. They kiss; Kayla enters, says stop spreading germs (LOL). She offers to come back later, Lucas steps out. Kayla scolds her for missing her last mammogram/screening (should have been 2 months ago, last check was 8 mos ago). Adrienne shoots back, she's tired of her choices being questioned. She needs a shower and wants to go home. Kayla says let me take care of you; they have to wait for the bloodwork.
In the lobby, Steve and Justin talk about the Kiriakis piece, and Justin being the lawyer for Deimos. Justin has no illusions about what this means; Steve says if Adrienne chooses [Justin], don't drag her into that world.
In Kayla's office, she is checking on the bloodwork (via Phone). It's in the computer; she looks it up, asks them to run it again. In the lobby, Justin and Lucas get into an argument after Lucas asks Sonny to get Adrienne's some clothes and Justin decides Adrienne must stay here. Sonny gets in the middle, trying to calm them.
Back up in the Horton attic, JJ tells Abby that mom's walking on clouds, he's going to meet Gabi. JJ tells her that Gabi is with him (JJ), and she and Chad are just friends. At the DiMansion, Chad wishes Gabi a great night. Gabi leaves (Chad says "Be good to her JJ"), but checks the card in the foyer (it says "Salem Inn"). She grabs a rose from a bouquet by the door.
