Salem is full of confrontations and advice being given, it got tiresome. Ciara is visiting Abby and Charlotte, they talk a bit of how Gabi manipulated and fooled Chad, Ciara thinking all will be well with Abby & Chad, she says not necessarily. They soon get to talking of Ben, Abby hears about him kidnapping Gabi, who wasn't hurt, but goes on and on to Ciara about not trusting him, he is dangerous, etc. etc. Ciara admits she cares for him, tells of how kind and caring he was to her in the cabin, but Abby persists in detailing his crimes. Ciara talks of him having been mentally ill, is better, thinks Abby should understand. Abby claims it was her alters (as an aside from me, seems she had a breakdown before the DID, when she set Ben on fire??) and just keeps warning Ciara against him.
And over to Hope, who has called in Ted Laurent, wanting him to rep Stefan. He refuses, the man is charged with treason, kept me a prisoner on an island for nearly a year, etc. Hope discards that, gets down to the nitty gritty, she wants Ben Weston, Ted says two cases not related. She figures if he can get Stefan to turn on Weston, she can wiggle him out of this treason charge. As he is leaving, having agreed, Rafe comes in.
Chad talks to Julie, at the club, wanting her to set up a special romantic dinner for him & Abby. He tells how he tried to talk to her, did not work out, he has really screwed up. Julie says she is on his side, wants him & Abby back together, along comes Kate saying she does too. Chad ignores her, told her he was done with her. Kate does not go easily. Julie goes off to make arrangements, Kate tells Chad of Stefan's arrest, the board already ousted him as CEO, offered to Kate, she refused. She goes on and on why Chad should take it, he refuses, she creates all kinds of reasons. He takes of the Dimera ring, done with that, she presses on and on like a broken record.
Julie runs into Gabi, they have words, back and forth, Gabi really acting like she did not wrong. Gabi informs Julie Abby is not pressing charges, Julie talks of going herself to testify to authorities, especially how Gabi pushed her down the staircase. Gabi warns her if she opens her big mouth, Gabi will shut it forever.
Rafe goes to see Stefan, says the attorney is delayed, seems the board is more interested in damage control than worrying about the CEO. They go back and forth, but Stefan tells him how Hope wanted him to turn on Ben, how Rafe's wife is more concerned with railroading Ben Weston, than nailing Stefan. Rafe points out that if Ben goes down for kidnapping Gabi, Stefan will go, too. Nope, Stefan is very insistent that Hope doesn't care about him, it is only Ben.
Gabi sits on a park bench, Ben comes along, she jumps up, initially scared, Ben assures her he has no bad intentions, is sorry he took her. Now Gabi talks with venom over how Ben just handed her over to Stefan, asking if he knows what Stefan did to her. She relates being tied up, left in the chair overnight, the hot poker in the morning, threats, etc. Ben is sorry, he does mention Ciara being upset, not being able to be hired by anyone else, etc. Gabi eventually storms off.
Ben sits and thinks about Ciara, what she said, what he did. (flashback to Ciara & Ben). He knows what he has to do, gets up.
Rafe wants to talk to Hope alone, Ted leaves. He cannot believe what she is doing how she is doing it, breaking all kinds of rules. She is determined to take down Ben, he tries to point out all the wrongs she is doing...not going to help.
Ted goes to see Stefan, says he will have him out in the morning, but he has to spend the night in jail.
Ben goes to DiMansion, a figure sits behind the desk, he starts saying he is sorry, can no longer work for you, Mr. DiMera, I have to leave. The figure stands, comes out of the shadows, it is Chad. He smiles. Stefan is no longer your boss. I am.
