JJ's Apartment: Lani is upset about the upcoming marriage of Eli and Gabi, and vents to JJ (who has just picked up his tux). JJ and Lani engage in a spirited debate about whether or not Gabi will find a way to interfere with the new pacemaker. (the wedding is today.) JJ assures Lani that Gabi will spend the whole day getting ready, and he'll be at the hospital to prevent interference.

Julie's Hospital Room: Julie gushes about Eli's upcoming nuptials. Eli is worried because nobody can find Kayla. Doug tries to help, they discuss a delay. Julie says the procedure's no big deal, and that she's never been as wrong about a person as she was about Gabi.

DiMansion: Gabi meets with a tech, who gives her something that will keep her in control of Lani (via Julie's heart). He just needs to scoot it to the hospital, and give it to the performing surgeon. Gabi reminds him this is a secret; Chad and Abby enter and demand to know what secret. Gabi covers, the tech leaves (says the guy is her jeweler and she bought Eli a watch; was arranging the special engraving; Chad asks to see the watch and Gabi says no, not until Eli sees it first). Gabi mentions Sonny is caring for sick Arianna, and she's very busy; Chad says that Stefano is back. During a break he tells her about Steve-aNO. (Gabi gets some funny lines.) They rehash the plot, but Gabi's comebacks make it enjoyable.

Police Station: Shawn-D is trying to call Ciara, Gi-Nope is brought in by Rafe. She is furious. Rafe leaves her in the interrogation room, Shawn-D is pleased that Kate is being arraigned, and just as dismayed by Rafe's recounting of Gi-Nope's insistence that Rolf's procedure was permanent; Hope is gone forever. They have 48 hours to get Hope back, or Gi-Nope will abscond. Rafe goes to tell Doug and Julie the news. Inside the room, Gi-Nope fiddles with her cuffs. Shawn-D enters, delivers a speech about being a little boy on the Fancy Face, wave knocking him down and Hope saving him; Gi-Nope pretends to cry, tells him it's not going to work.

A Warehouse or something: Kayla has patched Steve-aNO up. He won't let her leave, reminds Kayla she's not a cardiologist, and mis-remembers their history. She lays into him again about his abandoning the family. He tells her Stefano is closer to her than she realizes, and is a danger. (His reason she must stay.) He has stolen her phone, so she can't call Justin. (For some reason long flashbacks from yesterday are included.)

Hospital: JJ thinks he recognizes the DiMera tech (Chris Choy). Chris zips off, Eli comes upon JJ, who remains distracted about Chris. JJ forgot the rings, but Eli has them. He hands them to JJ for tonight.

JJ's Apartment: Lani flashes back to Eli's proposal, then prays for intercession in her life.

DiMansion: Gabi asks Abby to help her prepare, Abby says no, because she's getting tested for Mickey. Gabi makes fun of the baby's name, but decides to as well, and Gabi expertly deflects Abby's barbs.

Julie's Hospital Room: Rafe tells Doug and Julie about Hope.

Interrogation Room: Gi-Nope vows international consequences. Outside, Shawn-D tries to reach Kayla.

Dingy Warehouse: Kayla's flummoxed about her phone. Steve-aNO says she probably left it on her desk while fleeing. Then he smiles at her.
 
I don't know why Chad and Abby were nice enough to warn Gabi about Stefano possibly coming after her. If the roles were reverse that monster with her huge ego wouldn't have told them anything. She's due for a coma or even death. I wouldn't miss her.

Thanks, Jason.

A new day in Salem, finally. It's also a very odd day in Salem.

Why is Julie getting her new pacemaker today of all days? It's Eli's wedding day.
She said it's only a procedure, but do you go home the same day? It's Salem.

JJ told Chris (person helping Gabi) he knew him from somewhere. I laughed when
Chris said he must have a twin. Then he said It is Salem :)

My biggest problem is Kayla in new clothes. Stevano kept telling her today she
couldn't leave him to do the surgery on Julie. So, how did she get new clothes to
wear today?

It was funny when Stevano asked Kayla why a cardiologist wasn't doing Julie's
surgery. Maybe because it's Salem.

Julie is lucky. Kayla can't do the surgery, but they found an actual cardiologist
to do it.

Poor Gabi. Sonny can't come to the wedding because Ari is sick and he has to
take care of her. It's Salem.

Shawn made Gina cry when he talked to her about how Hope saved from falling
overboard in the hurricane.

I was surprised when Rafe told Shawn he arrested Kate. Will she go to jail?

Gabi didn't believe Chad and Abby when they said Steve is now Stefano and
Hope is Gina. Has Gabi forgotten she lives in Salem?

Will Roman find Rolf to bring Hope back? Maybe he's not in Salem.
 
Sorry, I'm team Gabi all the way. Chad acts like he owns the house. He doesn't. Gabi does.

She doesn't own anything. Marrying a rapist doesn't equal ownership of the house. She got the CEO position and the house with it by default. The next time Shin time changes CEO, that person will get house with it. At least Chad is an actual DiMera and not a downright awful human being, unlike Gabi the smug gold digger.
 
Literally half of the shown-on-screen CEOs were married to rapists. That's probably a requirement for being CEO of a criminal enterprise.

Chad is one of the cheapest DiMeras. I'm not sure why they brought him back to town to whine about not being CEO of a company he mismanaged multiple times.

When did Chad mismanage DiMera Enterprises? From all accounts DiMera Enterprises was doing well when he was charge in 2017 until his plane went down in fake Greece and Kate took over. Meanwhile, Victor, Xander, John have all said onscreen recently that DiMera Enterprises is doing terrible under miss Gold Digger's leadership.

Princess, in Salem corporate mismanagement is always in the eye of the beholder. When one Salem conniver is trying to seize a company, he/she always claims that the object of the takeover was running the company into the ground. What the books actually say doesn't matter.

On other subjects, here are a few comments.

Shawn: Why was he so befuddled over what to do about his mother. As Hope's next of kin, he could have had her committed to Bayview, where she might just snap her out of her Gina persona. In fact, if the writers were so inclined they could recreate some scenes from the old 1963 film, Shock Corridor, by having Bayview staff give "Gina" a few good jolts.

Lani: She certainly has a vivid imagination. Unfortunately, her ability to imagine the worst leaves her with no ability to take practical measures to remedy her situation.

Gabi: The woman with a taste for hooker-themed fashions, is lucky that Julie is having her pacemaker replaced at the infamous University Hospital. Where else could some sketchy, nerdy tech guy wander in off the street and provide a DiMera-made pacemaker minutes before an operation?? Anywhere else, the kid would have been pitched into the street and a DIMera-made pacemaker would have been tossed in the trash along with the rest of the medical waste.

Anything to serve DA PLOT, DrB.

I'm actually hoping now that Chad ousts Gabi from DiMera only to get the company's assets seized. I might like Chad and Abby again if they did more than stand around in the family mansion complaining about the woman that Abby framed for murder; watching them work their way up might be fun.
