Anne shows up at the Kmansion to take Jeannie Theresa out. It's been too long. Jeannie T has responsibilities, etc., Anne throws out some great one-liners, can't get Jeannie T to come along with her though. Jeannie T needs to make changes in her life, still is hooked on getting Brady to fall back in love with her. Anne realises she's being ditched. Maybe she should grow up. Jeannie T claims (wrongly) that Anne didn't try to stop her destructive behaviour, Anne points out that she has always had Jeannie T's back, good luck grovelling to people who don't care about her.
At Eve's, Eve puts on a sad record. (Kassie DePaiva, who portrays Eve, is the singer.) Looks at a flyer for the funeral, rushes out.
At the Horton House, Jennifer is talking on the phone to Laura about the tragedy of Paige, how JJ has the wedding of Abigail and her baby to focus on, and how super great Ben is.
Ben is flashing back to wearing a hood & committing the murders of Serena & Paige. Abby wonders what's up. He's flummoxed over a baby bouncer that he's not putting together right. She comforts him, they won't need that for a month, months, maybe a year. Later, Ben is talking to the sonogram about keeping it safe from Chad DiMera.
Chad tries to get the bum to get him to meet with Rafe, if not the cops. The bum demands $100k. Chad tries to negotiate, talks him down a bit, then implores him to stay there while he gets the money.
Montage (with cheap, but easily replaced, music) of Abby trying on wedding dresses with Jen. They settle on one, apparently, although Abby doesn't like it. (It's really slim for a bride that's expecting, to be honest.) They laugh as Jen plans to hold it to keep it smooth, lol. Jen wonders what turned Ben around on staying, Abby mentions all the things they have here, and the house Clyde bought. Jen gets upset, Abby senses it, Jen wants to make sure that Ben doesn't owe Clyde anything. They need to go to Barron's, Abby's tried everything there, maybe Chicago, Jen suggests. Abby wants Jeannie T to design her wedding dress. She wants a unique dress that nobody's worn before, that fits. Jen agrees, but jokes about hiding the silver. Abby texts Jeannie T »Wedding SOS!« imploring her to come over.
Ben is working at Edge of the Square and continuing to flash back. Eve comes in and orders a drink. Later, Anne comes in, orders a drink, Eve gives her the cold shoulder. Anne goes off about how Eve used to be jealous of her, but she can have Jeannie T. Eve tries to get her to stop, but who can get Anne to stop, LOL. Eve solemnly says she's burying her only child tomorrow. Anne is aghast, she forgot, apologises and offers her condolences. Also mentions that Jeannie T didn't say anything about it.
Chad has snuck into the Dimansion, gets caught by André. Chad doesn't have time for this, André jokes about Chad being the favoured son 2.0. André points out that this plan is foolish, Chad wants the police to lay off him to find the real killer. André gets Chad to look at the situation objectively, if Stefano's not setting him up, who is? Chad's eyes are on Clyde. André gives Chad a burner phone that he can use if he gets in a jam.
Jeannie T arrives at the Horton House, Abby is impressed with how quickly she arrived. Jen is cordial, welcomes her, offers her condolences. They talk about how special Paige was, how they want to attend the funeral, will that be okay? Jeannie T is sure Eve won't even notice. Jen can't imagine Eve's pain. Jeannie T changes the subject, wants Abby to tell her everything she needs the dress to be.
Justin shows up at the DiMansion, wants to search it. André says he needs a warrant, Justin will get one, he will find an unpurchased-by-Stefano judge. Knows how Stefano thinks, where the bodies are buried, from his time helping EJ with a takeover. They kick him out, Justin notices something on the floor as he leaves. (OK everybody take a moment to appreciate how Justin is the DA and just chatted with André as if he weren't an insane murderer.) He shows André and Stefano a lure, have they been fishing? André retorts, "The only one fishing here is you." Justin takes it for them. André and Stefano exchange emotive looks.
Chad arrives at the docks, the homeless guy is insane, doesn't know who he is. He talks about never getting in blue cars, doesn't remember Chad, won't submit to mind control. (They really found a terrific dayplayer here.)
Eve is in her darkened apartment, collapses on the couch. There's a knock, she tells Eddy to go away. She doesn't even want to see him tomorrow. More knocks. Eve answers the door, and it's Jennifer. Jennifer doesn't want Eve to be alone. Eve IS alone. She needs her daughter, hates that Paige died hating her. Jennifer tries to console her, Eve is understandably incosolable, Jenn knows nothing of loss. Jenn agrees, that losing a child is something she doesn't know, but she lost Jack, who died saving Abby. Eve is alone in a way that Jennifer will never understand. Jen tries to console her, Eve tosses her out, she's done her good deed for the day. Nothing can help her. Jennifer leaves, telling Eve they'll be at the service, leaves. Eve cries, throws her glass.
At the Horton House, Jeannie T and Abby are working on the dress. Jeannie asks about Abby's "popping" now that she's showing. Did she feel it? etc. (Nice scenes, would have been great a year ago.) Jeannie relays how much she missed from the experience with Tate. There's a moment of venom as Jeannie T assumes that Abby is putting her down (over a comment about raising Tate with his father). They mellow, and talk about how great Ben is.
Great Ben is talking with Will at EOTS. Will has been talking to Sonny (who also talks to Arianna), trying to get him to talk to Chad, who's on the run. Ben hopes they catch him, thinks faking a brain tumour is the same as multiple murders. Will points out the fallacy therein, believes Chad's innocent, he took a bullet for EJ, etc. Will says he pushed Abby to Ben, he's always been Team Ben, she's better off with Ben. Ben asks Will to be his best man.
In the shack, Chad laments his fate. Doesn't notice a text from André warning him the police know where he is. Meanwhile Justin is on the phone, relays that the lure was made for Victor by Sonny when Sonny was 10, the only place it could have come from is the old Lake House, and must have been transported there by Chad. A unit's been sent to the Kiriakis property.
The cops bust the door open, Chad's gone. On the docks, he texts "Father" thanks.
Jeannie T is working on the dress sketches.
At EOTS, Will tells Abby he's going to be the best man. Abby's thrilled. Will leaves, Abby tells Ben about Jeannie designing the dress. They hug, Ben flashes back to killing Serena and Paige, holds Abby a little too tight. He will never let Abby go.
