Days Of Our Lives

Oh, wow, THIS should have been Monday's show. First off....JACK appears! Jennifer enters what is obviously a motel room, pulls out a small pkg (booze), and rummages in her purse for a packet of pills. She opens it, takes out 2, starts to open the bottle, and a voice behind her says "Jennifer". And there is Jack, who sits down beside her at the small table, and carries on a long conversation, encouraging her not to go this route, to know that Abby would not want that, that she is stronger than that. Jennifer in turn. (these scenes are powerful, and so very good!) tells Jack how much she misses him, wishes he could really be there, knows he is not, just wants his arms around her, to help ease the pain. She cries that he has no idea how much pain she is in, losing their little girl. But Jack does know, does feel it, because he lives in her heart, so feels what she feels, knows when her heart is breaking. She still wants to take the pills, he tells her to look at their grandson, to have faith, see what a beatiful, wonderful boy he is. She looks at a pic of him on her phone, is smiling, but then up comes one of Abby. She looks up, Jack is gone. She pours the booze into a glass, takes the pills, drinks the booze.
Ciara runs into Theo in the square, is in a hurry, was in Chicago, left her cell at home, tons of messages from her mom, brother, she has to catch up. Theo catches her up, tells her the news of Abigail being on the plane that went down, no survivors. She feels she has to leave right now, runs off, Claire comes up to Theo, figures Ciara knows about Abby and has run off to Chad. They talk a bit, begin talking of her music, etc.
At DiMansion, Belle is talking to the distraught Chad, trying to get him to think of his son, and pull himself together. Another set of wonderfully done scenes. He feels he failed Abby, not getting her out of the hospital, where she felt alone and trapped, not getting her another doctor. (Billy Flynn is giving another Emmy winning performance here). He has been trying to figure out where it all went wrong, they were so happy. Belle assures him he did nothing wrong, that Abby had an illness, an inherited one, buried deep down inside her before they ever met. They talk of Ben, Chad hope he rots in jail til he dies. Belle does her best, but Chad is so despondent, he has decided Thomas would probably be better off if Jen raised him. Belle does her very best to try and make him see that is not so, how Thomas lost one parent, should not lose another, she is going to fight like mad to win their case. Nope, it is over, thank you for the support, and the services. You are no longer needed here. She insists on not leaving him, but in walks Ciara, telling Belle that it is o.k., she is there, will take care of Chas & Thomas. They argue about who will stay, Chad stops it, tells Belle Ciara has done good for him & the baby when they hit a bad patch, it is o.k. Belle decides to leave.
She runs into Claire & Theo in the square, talks to Claire privately, tells her that her parents have decided to let her defer college for a year, and if things don't work out, then she will enroll in a university...but Claire is jumping for joy. Oh, she will be on the charts by then, she is thrilled, hugs, thank you, etc. etc. She runs off with Theo, Belle gets a call from Paul, who has news, Jennifer has fallen off the wagon.
Belle meets him at the Pub, seems Paul saw her buying a bottle of vodka, followed her to the park, where she bought some illegal drugs, and then went to the seedy motel just outside of town. He took pictures, is sure Belle will have enough to win her case. (remember this is his sister). She is not too interested in them, though, really doesn't respond much to his info, takes off.
Claire & Theo are at the apartment, she is singing the tale end of her music, he claps, very good, wishes Ciara could have heard it, would help her. Claire notes that Ciara went to see Chad, nothing they can do about that. Theo knows, wishes he could do something. She takes his hand, says maybe she can help. Kiss, and kiss again.
Belle enters Jen's motel room (wonder how she got in?), sees Jen passed out on the bed. Pulls out her phone to take a picture, decides against it. Goes to the bed, lightly brushing Jen's hair away from where it is hanging across her face.
Ciara sits with Chad, urging him not to give up, not to relinquish custody of Thomas, he is near tears, giving reasons Thomas would be better off. She is refusing, won't let him do this. He is not going to give up on life. Chad murmurs... Why do you care so much. "Because I love you", says Ciara.
