Apologies, folks. I had a late day at work and now have to rush out to a Doctor appt for the hubby. Fill in if anything's missing, please. 
Eve is in the square, hears her phone. Eduardo approaches, Eve didn't hear him. She thought the message was from Paige; it will take a while for her to realise Paige is never contacting her again. Eduardo realised when Arianna died that he didn't even know what she looked like. Eduardo deserved the hate that his kids felt for him, he didn't realise his punishment would be outliving them. Eve says his debt is paid, so he can leave; he has resolved to remain in Salem. Watching Paige lowered into the ground made him realise how much he's thrown away. Maybe he can still do something for Rafe, Gabi. Eve won't call him a hypocrite, feels sorry for him, missing all that time with Paige.
At the Kmansion, Adrienne answers the door and Kayla hugs her. Sonny is upset, Adrienne reports, feeling if he'd not been in Paris, Will mightn't have died. But Kayla wants to talk about Adrienne's genes. What does she want to do? Adrienne is having trouble processing everything, but her mammograms are fine. Sonny returns, Adrienne hugs him. Condolences; Sonny explains he was planning to come before he heard the news, realised he still needed to be with Will & Arianna.
John has met with Louise Rancil at the townhouse. She's going to look for some kid in pictures, John claims they were old friends. Louise leaves, Paul arrives to express his condolences about Will. Paul wonders whom John lost touch with. A piece of his past is all John says, Paul is flummoxed, thought he was the only missing piece from John's past. They start talking about Will, Paul feels guilty, Sonny would have been here if it weren't for him. John points out that Paul saved Sonny's life, he might not have survived without that blood transfusion. The only person responsible is Chad DiMera. Later, Paul looks at the picture (I would swear it was Christopher Gerse, ex-Will), learns it's a young John, and John agrees to lay out the whole story.
When he first came to Salem, he was known only as "The Pawn," talks about how Stefano brought him to town, via Ilya Petrov, how John had been programmed to do whatever Stefano wanted. He found Marlena, who helped him find the strength to fight back. (No mention of how he was Roman.) He was adopted by the Alamains as a toddler, named Forrest, and Forrest supposedly drowned in a swimming pool accident. The coffin was exhumed, full of sand. He's trying to find out what happened to Forrest. Petrov taught at the Winterthorne Academy in Vermont, and Louise has agreed to try to find if Forrest was a student there. Paul wonders if John really wants to know these details, John says he has to. Paul used to imagine his father, sometimes as an astronaut, sometimes as a shortstop. But the real John is better than anything he dreamed; he hopes he gets half as lucky finding his parents as [Paul] was. Paul has a flash, realises he roomed in AAA with a guy from Winterthorne, whose dad also attended the Academy, vows to call him for his dad.
At the police station, Justin comes upon Gabi, who was waiting for him. She wants to go inside Will & Sonny's apartment. Justin okays it, Gabi thinks it will be easier than having Sami or Lucas clean up Will's things. Justin still wants to be Arianna's grandfather, Gabi says he always will be.
At the hospital, Sami demands the comatose Chad wake up and report on murdering Will. She grabs the pillow, holds it in front of him. Talks of Will & Chad doing homework together, she knows how she likes his pancakes. How did this happen to him? She surmises Stefano used Chad to get even with Sami for removing Sydney & Johnny from Stefano. Sami thinks EJ was his own man, and they found true love, despite Stefano. Doesn't actually put the pillow over his face today, drops it, says that's not going to stop him. Then decides she must take justice into her own hands, will be doing him a favour, and puts the pillow over his face. Marlena stops her. Marlena tries to reason with her; Marlena checks Chad's pulse, scolds Sami for not answering Roman's calls. Marlena says that Sami has 3 kids who need her, Sami wants to know what she can do for Will. She's even heard Marlena swear revenge; Marlena says it never gives you the comfort you think it will.
Stefano is waiting outside Chad's room when Sami and Marlena leave. He offers sympathy, Sami lunges for him. Marlena holds her back, but Sami vows to kill Chad if he wriggles out of this. Later in the park, Sami and Marlena lament Will, Sami wonders who will be next...maybe Allie since she's not a DiMera? Marlena is concerned that Sami's not expressing her anger. (I guess suffocating Chad doesn't count.) Sami doesn't want shrink treatment, attempts to bolt; Marlena just wants to be Sami's mom. Admits to feeling hollow sometimes, giving up. She was in denial when she heard of Will's death. Sami doesn't want to be told how to feel, is still mad at Stefano, who kills everything that's good.
At the Kmansion, Justin arrives, hugs Sonny. Sonny laments that he'll never get more time with Will, how can he live with that? Sonny didn't realise he could feel this much hurt; what is he going to do? Find a reason, Justin counters; Adrienne says he will deal with the pain. Adrienne suggests food, or a lie-down. Sonny has to go do something, leaves.
At the nurse station, Daniel and Kayla chat about Will, Caroline, how the experimental drug (which she confidentially confides to him as a friend & colleague) appears to be working, she's back to her old self. Daniel tries to relieve her, she wants to stay close to Caroline. If she goes home, she'll annoy Joey, fight with Steve.
In the Square, Justin runs into Eve, exchange condolences and relief that Chad is in custody. Ignores a call from Adrienne, postpones a coffee with Eve. Justin has to do something he can't avoid any longer.
Sonny arrives at his apartment and finds Gabi. They hug and cry. Sonny cries on the spot where Will's body was found. Gabi offers to let him be alone, goes out, promising to let him see Arianna anytime. Sonny is mournful, there's a knock. Sonny answers the door, it's Paul.
In Chad's room, Stefano sends his goon out, tells Chad, "Poppa is here." Tells him to keep fighting. (He's in a wheelchair and puffing oxygen the whole time.) He can't lose another child.
Later, wandering the Square, Eduardo leaves a message for Rafe (first saying "It's your dad," then "Eduardo"). A reporter approaches "Mr Larson," asks for a statement, he's grateful that no other family will have to go through what he & Eve have been going through, states his name is Hernandez.
Back at the Kmansion, Justin has cancelled his meeting, wants to know what Adrienne needs, apologises for bolting. Adrienne has loved Justin since she was 17, and he's one of the most important people in her life. She has an important decision she can't make without telling him. Tells him of Jo's breast cancer, but she will be OK; talks about the mutation gene, which Adrienne carries. She's now grateful that she knows, it's wonderful that they have these tests. Thus, her decision.
Marlena and Sami return to the Townhouse, John offers his help, but Sami just wants rest. Marlena gives her a pile of mail that got "bounced back" to her.
In her room, Sami opens a letter which she says is from EJ.
Eve is in the square, hears her phone. Eduardo approaches, Eve didn't hear him. She thought the message was from Paige; it will take a while for her to realise Paige is never contacting her again.

And then his embrace with Gabi at the apartment and how he just completely broke down crying there. I don't know how many more tears I can cry for this show. Sheesh. I loved when Justin asked Gabi if he could still be Arianna's grandpa. So sweet. I'm glad that Adrienne finally opened up to Justin about her medical issues. It's about time.
Now if she could just be on more then two short segments, yep the Dream lives on.
