At the Teen apartment, Ciara declares Claire (who was checking out a friend's selfies) the most selfish person she knows. They need to get ready for David's funeral. (Claire states David was Ciara's first cousin, and her second.) They snipe at each other.
At the Pub, Julie speaks with Hope on the phone. Hope can't make it to the funeral. Doug and Maggie have arrived, learn that Hope has food poisoning. Doug thinks Julie should leave to have some private time to say goodby; she worries she's not worthy. We learn David was a rambler, didn't stick around in one place long enough to put down roots, she blames herself, and giving him up for adoption. (We are reminded that she was a teen, his father had died, and she got him back.) Maggie sympathises with losing a child, wanting one more minute with their child. Julie laments giving him up, feels David resents her. She regrets focusing on Doug after David left town. She always thought there'd be more time; now he's gone. How can she grieve, when she let her son down?
At the Hospital, Abe learns that Valerie will be checking on Chad and then zipping out of town. It's meant a lot to them to get to know each other again; Valerie misses her son and needs to get back to her life. Abe offers to escort her to the funeral, she doesn't need it, and isn't sure why she took David's death so hard. Valerie is surprised to learn that Theo will miss her, tells Abe he deserves to find someonte special. He thought he had. He leaves; she calls her son to arrange a dinner.
At TBD, Dario and Eduardo talk about Gabi's recovery (she'll be fine) and the war. Kate comes upon them, asking Eduardo how dare he. She's furious that he worked with André to kidnap Sonny (whom she calls her family) behind her back. Sonny wasn't supposed to be hurt, Sonny's fine now and the guard will be dismissed, Eduardo assures her. Everything's OK. Nope, says Kate. Ed points out that Kate would have done the same thing in his position, this shouldn't change the fact that they're destined to be together. Later, Dario is sorry that Ed's lost his chance with Kate, Ed thinks Kate's worth it, but it will be tough. Dario talks about wanting to protect Abby from the way they found Chad/Gabi; Eduardo is curious about Dario's interest in Gabi. He says they are just friends, he doesn't want his friends hurt.
In Chad's hospital room, Abby is thrilled that Chad is awake, relays her worry of the past few days to how he must have felt during the time she was missing. Valerie comes in, introduces herself (Chad and Valerie talk about Theo a bit), needs to do an exam. Abby decides to leave, Chad says they'll finish their talk. Later, Abby returns; they talk about how she found & saved him. Chad fesses up about the closeness, Abby is fine with it, if they'd been alone, they'd have died. Chad admits kissing Gabi. Nothing more than kissing; Abby suspected as much, was told hypothermia could affect their thinking. She knows he's committed to them, and to Thomas. She's good. They hug, Abby has a worried one-shot.
At the police station, JJ and Lani talk about the turf wars; JJ won't let them skate next time something like this happens. They talk about Gabi being OK; JJ thinks they make a good team, Lani is planning to head back to Miami - she has turned down Roman's offer. He suggested her; he likes having her around, thinks they work well together. He's going to represent his family at the funeral, Lani tags along to support her dad.
Later at the Pub, Ciara gives "grandma" a hug, they talk about how Julie helped Ciara when Hope was gone, and for Hope when she was young. Claire comes in, weepy, gives Julie a hug. The teens remind her that she never forgot about him. Claire wants Julie to tell her stories about him; Ciara suggests they go to the Church. Everyone's getting choked up (yours truly included over here); she hugs her girls, and they leave.
At the Church, Valerie is standing at David's coffin, remembering how they fought so hard to be together, how they vowed their love would last. But it didn't; she's so sorry she didn't tell him or Eli the truth. Abe has overheard. He apologises for the interruption. Julie and team enter, she thanks Valerie for coming, laments that Valerie and David didn't stay together.
In the private area, Abby visits her shrine and laments that she let everyhone think she was dead. She attacks the statue and knocks it over before collapsing in tears. Dario comes upon her, comforts her. They talk about the shock of finding Chad & Gabi, and the kiss, which Abby realises Dario knew about. They relay Chad & Gabi's hospital moans for the other; Abby blames herself for faking her own death. Chad moved on, he can't just forget what's happening with Gabi. Meanwhile, Chad has flashbacks to Abby's early return, trying to move on. Back at the fallen statue, Abby and Dario discuss what she plans to do; she feels it's the right thing to set him free. Dario doesn't want to see Gabi to get hurt, but he has a feeling Chad will forgive Abby. She thanks Dario for being a good friend and they hug; Dario gets a pensive one-shot.
Julie apologies to David for being a bad mother while Doug watches. When she's said her peace, he comforts her, and she thanks him for forcing her to come. Meanwhile Ciara and Claire have made up; JJ and Lani arrive and they talk with Theo about Valerie leaving. Maggie thanks Valerie for coming, she remembers how important Valerie was to David. She and Maggie talk about sons, Maggie'd love to see a picture of Valerie's son (Valerie has no photos on her phone). Valerie goes to say good-by to Theo; Maggie wishes she could stay in Salem.
Abby comes into Chad's hospital room, climbs into his bed. He's holding a piece of jewelry.
At the funeral, Valerie is finishing a call with a patient, will check in with the MD following up. She turns to leave, Eli is there. What are you doing here?
"I came to bury my father," replies Eli.
