Replay of Eric stopping Henry from eating Jennifer's donut at their dinner. Eric says he has to apologize, and explains that Anna jumped to the wrong conclusion, and the information Anna shared was incorrect. Dr Shah is uncomfortable. Eric declares that he is over Nicole, wants Jennifer. He pleads and she rejects him, but he keeps the donut. Eric leaves. Later, after an apparently uncomfortable end of the dinner, Henry says that although she's been courteous, he's known all along that her heart belongs to Eric Brady.
Chad and Abby are leaving the DiMansion for a Valentine's date. They needle Stefan0 on the way out. At DiMansion, Stefan0 is playing chess with himself and talking to Stefano's portrait. He muses about taking out the King, and winning the Queen.
At Doug's Place, Eli and Gabi arrive, Julie is surprised to see her. Eli plans to prove Gabi is innocent, Julie feels this will be a mistake. Rehash of the Nick ordeal, and Eli reaffirms that he is on a mission to clear Gabi's name. Julie declares (after Gabi stalks off) that Gabi could be guilty; she's not (Eli); she is/could be (Julie). Back and forth for about 50 years on this point. Then Trask walks up, says she's got Gabi dead to rights. (Gack this is awful.) Gabi comes up, claims innocence, and Trask keeps needling her about the statement of what Abby said Gabi said. Gabi bolts; outside, she runs into Chad and Abby and lets them have it.
In the Private Area, Gabi has zipped away from the club and Eli catches up with her. She was stressed by the scene(s) at the club, Eli affirms he believes in her innocence and will do everything he can. Gabi worries that's not enough. Eli believes she was framed; Gabi tells Eli of her & Chad's suspicion re: Stefan0. Eli won't let the woman he loves go to prison for a crime she didn't commit. She wonders what she did to deserve such a great guy, she will always be there for him.
Back at Doug's Place, Julie gives Trask a drink and they talk about the case. Meanwhile, Chad tries to refocus Abby's energies away from Gabi/the case. Julie then brings them some champagne from Stefan0 and blabs about the case, saying all the cops need for a slam-dunk is the coat and the lid to the urn. They affirm their belief in her innocence. Julie has a soufflé emergency, so stalker boy--oops, Stefan0 pours it for them. He claims he just wanted a drink alone (rather than to play cards with Vivian). Later, Chad gives Abby a charm for her bracelet and can't stop looking at Stefan0.
At the bar, Stefan0 thanks Trask for her work on the case, but Trask (now) doesn't want to talk business. He suggests they get down to pleasure. She remarks on his watching Abby.
At Doug's Place, Jennifer's table, Julie asks where "Harold" is. Jen recaps and Julie admits the part she played. Jennifer walks out dazed and confused. Doug comes out in a chef's hat, apparently they are down to one cook, he declares Doug's Place a success. Julie recaps the love disasters that flounced through the restaurant, and Doug reminds her Eli's an adult. He also updates her on JJ's pending proposal.
Later at the Pub, Eric is eating his donut and downing coffee when Jennifer walks in. They kiss.
In Chad & Abby's bedroom, they are getting changing out of their dinner-clothes and Abby is planning a trip to the park with Thomas. Chad is miles away, however, and admits he thinks Stefan killed André.
JJ meets with Doug in the Square. He gives JJ Alice's ring to give to Lani. Doug gives him a talk since his "father and grandfather" are not available. The gist is he wonders if JJ is rushing things with Lani. Doug asserts that having a baby doesn't necessitate getting married. The marriage should be based on love. Lani arrives late, having been held up at the station. Doug congratulates them, and leaves before Julie "short circuits." He tells her of their talk, then gets down on one knee and proposes as extras look on, and Gabi and Eli walk by.
