Days of Our Lives

And don't touch that dial, or remote, folks. Too many heartstopping moments today. Chad wakes up, removes his arm from around the sleeping Gabi (on his shoulder) which wakes her up. She is thanking him for letting her and Ari stay there, gives him a big hug, as JJ walks in. She jumps up, is so glad to see him, he just took a minute to check on her. He gets a call, has to rush off, manages to say a bomb planted at Pub, his mom inside.
At the Pub, John is on phone with Orpheus, who is threatening them all. He hangs up, they all talk of trying to leave, Jen runs upstairs to get Caroline. John's phone rings again, Orpheus is back, right outside the door. John is trying to talk him out of harming everyone, finally offering to go with orpheus himself. They go back and forth, agreement is reached, Orpheus comes in, disarms the bomb electronically. He makes John & Hope give him the clips from their guns, forces Hope to tie John's hands, and they leave. And here comes Jennifer, wearing a vest to which a bomb is attached, shocking both Marlena & Hope, who tries to call the bomb squad, but it will be a while for them.
Hope convinces Marlena to leave, she is staying with Jennifer. At the cop shop, Rafe has a nice talk with his dad, who fills him in about Dario getting injured, but they had a nice talk, etc. Later, Rafe gets a call from Hope, who explains the situation, but Rafe is not the expert on disarming a bomb, knows someone who is, will call her back.
At the hospital, Kayla is all upset because Seth Burns has locked the doors, the injured cannot get in, she cannot do her job. Steve tries to comfort her as she rants, along comes Seth Burns, defending his position. Steve gets a call about John being taken hostage, gets together with Kayla to find a way to sneak out without being observed. She notes, on a map, a door that won't be guarded, kisses him, tells him "go get him".
JJ is on his way to the Pub, is in the square, is on the phone with Gabi, who is anxious, telling him to be careful. Suddenly, JJ sees Orpheus & John, pulls his gun, calls out for Orpheus to drop his, but instead, Orpheus pulls his trigger, down goes JJ. Gabi hears it all, is not getting JJ to answer her. She tells Chad, wants to go out and find JJ, he goes with her. They both are running thru the square when she spots JJ, who is bleeding. He has managed to pull himself up against a bldg. or something, Marlena comes running up now. She has something to staunch the blood, tells Gabi to keep pressure on it. Chad goes to get an ambulance (Marlena says hospital on lockdown, but they have to have an ambulance), but returns, no luck. Marlena is constantly talking encouragingly to JJ. who now has blood coming from his mouth. Chad's car is out of gas, Marlena & Gabi are doing all they can to get JJ to hold on.
In the Pub, Rafe calls Hope back, has his father, who knows more about bombs than he does. She puts her phone in postion to send pic to Eduardo, who then gives her instruction. Remove the red wire. (These are slower scenes, with the phones going in and out, losing contact). Hope does, Jennifer is terrified, expecting with each wire pulled, to be blown to smithereens. Next the blue wire. Hope selects it, Eddie says no, not that one, too obvious. The yellow one. Then finally, the green one. The timer goes out, grins all around, sighs of relief. Job well done.
Hope helps Jennifer remove that vest, Jen is hugging her cousin, who did not leave her. Hope says she never will. More hugs. Rafe calls Hope, who asks him to thank his father again, he already did. He tells her he loves her, she says they will talk soon.
Orpheus has taken John to the penthouse, it is dark inside. John is still trying to get Orpheus to forget harming all these people, but Orpheus is very bitter, talks of how he felt when his wife died "at your hands" (thought that was Roman), and his only regret was being unable to get Roman to the Pub as well. He goes on about being left for dead on that island, how horrible it was, and then how his children rejected him, when he tried to connect with them again, want nothing to do with him.
He orders John to his knees, pointing the gun at John's forehead, then goes around behind John, with his gun at the back of John's head. John tells him to at least face him, if he is going to do this. Orpheus says that nothing can stop him now, as we see the door behind Orpheus open, and Steve's voice saying "I can". His gun is pointed at the back of Orpheus's head.
Checkmate!
