At DiMansion, Abby finishes the call (from Justin) about her annulment papers, which had interrupted a romantic moment. Abby wants to wait to have further adult encounters with her once-and-future-husband until after their marriage. There's some awkward talk about his recent fling with Gabi.
At TBD, Gabi is cleaning out Dario's office. Eli has come by to apologise; Julie told him she bought the club. Gabi learns Eli was fired because of her being in the line of fire. Gabi is upset, Eli thought about the Salem PD, but is out of options. (Gabi thinks she can convince Rafe to give Eli another chance.) Gabi doesn't want to say goodbye, and Eli isn't really planning to leave Salem, he wants to make it his home. They rehash the flower girl thing, sadly Will is referred to only as "the guy who died" and not his relative, but otherwise, they are enjoying each other's company.
At the police station, Rafe and Hope talk about which of the two of them would be the better commissioner. (Ed. Note:
) JJ and Lani come in, JJ and Rafe go to work out on break, while Lani talks Hope up. The upshot is both members of the Rafe & Hope coupling think it would be awkward to be the boss of their significant other.
Chloe and Brady talk about her buying the club with Julie in order to outbid Myron. Later, Justin has come in on his way to the DiMera mansion. He's whistling, which Adrienne used to hate, but now doesn't mind. Brady worries about Lucas, and what he himself would do if Nicole left him for one of her exes. Justin takes this as a counselling opportunity, but it's interrupted by the arrival of Nicole (more below).
Eric has a flashback to Brady demanding he fire Nicole, who fortuitously comes in at that moment after having scrounged up some chairs for a mommy event that had double the expected signups. There's a budgetary issue as well, purports Eric (one would assume as a guise under which to fire her), despite her mega-grantwriting skills. Nicole has a flashback to her talk with Abe. Chloe enters, but Nicole's already heard about the Club purchase. Chloe wants to see Eric alone, Nicole is in the middle of something, but Eric insists it can wait. Nicole leaves and Chloe fesses up about slipping out Eric's feelings to Brady (because she thought he already knew about them). Eric now understands why he was ordered to fire Nicole, which he is still resolved to do. Chloe is surprised by how sneaky Brady is, and that Eric agreed to fire Nicole.
DiMansion: Lots of making out with Abby & Chad, are they sure they want to wait. Justin interrupts and all are happy that her marriage with Dario is about to be erased. They talk about the upcoming double wedding, and Lucas who refuses to return to rehab. Justin can only imagine how Lucas feels, since Adrienne coming back to him was a complete surprise.
JJ and Lani have switched counselling positions, as Lani tells Rafe that Hope wants him to be the commish, while JJ in the park with Hope tells her that Rafe wants her to be the commissioner. Both Rafe and Hope call Abe and say they want to be commissioner.
Nicole comes into the Kmansion, Justin leaves. Nicole tells Brady Eric let her go, he offers sympathy for her firing. Nicole starts, Brady covers, Nicole understands; she then says the budget problems are causing her (as she flashes back to her hand-touching moment with Eric) to consider quitting. This passes as they decide to enjoy their alone time (Tate is on a playdate and Holly is napping). After something that required changing into nightclothes, Nicole returns to the living room and calls Abe for his counsel. He holds steady on his advice, and Nicole says that his being back in her life means the world to her, just as Brady enters to overhear. She tells him it was Abe, they used to be close when her brother Brandon lived here, and have reconnected. Brady wants to know what was so important to take her from their bedroom. Nicole lies that she was talking to Abe about funding for the center. Brady fumes. He calls Eric and orders him to fire Nicole tomorrow.
