Days of Our Lives
Wednesday, January 17, 2018
O.K. was hard for me to stay awake today, as the saga of Lani/Eli’s Christmas Eve get-together continues, along with the goodbyes to Theo. Abby stares at the hugging Chad & Gabi, flashes back to Stefan’s innuendos about them, asks what is going on. They break apart, mention welcoming Gabi to the company, congratulating her, etc. Abby begins babbling about going to South Africa to visit Theo, who is leaving today, Chad is all for that, then leaves as something he has to do. This leaves Abby & Gabi to work on the press release regarding Gabi Chic, which is evidently a “how to make yourself look better, feel better” company, which also either sells or touts various clothing items.
They talk over how Gabi started out, but she doesn’t want this about her, just the company. Abby feels differently, and somehow they get into Gabi dealing with Nick, and Abby with Ben Weston, both having lost time with their children, but becoming stronger women in the long run. Abby mentions Stefan trying to tell her Gabi only came to DiMera to work with Chad. Gabi gets ticked, he pulled the same stunt with her.
Stefan comes in, Abby hands him first draft of the press release, he gives her the security badge he found on office floor, looks over the draft, says it looks good, he will go over it more tonight, will you have dinner with me. Abby coldly says she will be having dinner with her husband and son. Oh, he wasn’t talking to her, he was talking to Gabi.
Vivian joins Stefan, claiming she knows he has the hots for Abigail, has been struck by lightning, yada, yada. Stefan denies it, she brings up the Godfather movie plots, how Michael Corleone killed 2 men, went off to Italy to lay low, but men Apalonia and was struck by the love bug. Only she says lightning. Yes, he saw the movie, still denies what she is saying, Chad comes in. So now, Chad pours on the apologies, wants to work with Stefan, they are brothers, want to get DiMera company great again, blah, blah. They shake hands, Chad leaves, Viv had been listening quietly, ask Stefan if he bought all that, as she sure did not. He is up to something. Stefan is going to give Chad benefit of doubt, but Viv decides to check on things herself. She follows Chad, hears him calling John, wanting whatever info he has found so far, something he can bring to the board. (Amazes me these Salemites who make private calls out in public…..looks to be the place Ciara eavesdropped on Rafe & Sami)
Eli tells his mom the whole sordid tale, how never should have happened, both he & Lani have not told JJ or Gabi, and don’t intend to. Val will support her son, not tell anything, but warns him how secrets do tend to come out.
At the hospital, Lani is not too happy that Abe overheard JJ spilling about the pregnancy, but does tell Abe she is, though wanted to wait before spilling the beans. She says something about it being so early yet, but JJ mentions she is 2 mos.along. She goes to see Theo, Abe talks with JJ, knows he resigned from the force, JJ tells why , and says the baby doesn’t deserve two parents in the line of fire, so he won’t reconsider. He insists Lani & the baby will always be his #1 priority. Val & Eli arrive, Abe is about to spill about the baby, but Lani interrupts, they all need to go see Theo.
In Theo’s room, Claire is laying on the bed next to Theo, kissing, saying goodbye, talking of missing him, visiting, etc. He says something about in a year he will be walking back to her. She realizes she has to think positively now, gets out her phone, they are listening to music via ear buds. Somewhere in there, Ciara has arrived, Claire leaves the room to let them say goodbye, it is short. She mentions all the sleepovers when kids, how when she got scared at a noise, he held her hand, asks him to hold her hand now. He stretches his out, they clasp hands, tearfully hug, she leaves. When Claire & Theo are listening to the music, Ciara is watching thru the window, then abruptly leaves.
JJ worries about Lani, who is hungry. He leaves to get some Chicken Noodle soup from the cafeteria for her, Eli uses this to return her earring.
Finally, it is time, Claire wheels Theo out, and one by one, his friends & family hug him one last time. Abe hugs Val, glad she is there, thanks her for all her support. She says she knows this is hard, but it won’t be long, his family will all be back together. He mentions the family growing a bit, tells her to keep a secret, and tells her Lani is pregnant. Cue the startled look on Val’s face. Abe wheels Theo to the elevator, Clair seeks comfort in Val’s arms, as she looks over to Eli. The doors open, Abe wheels Theo in, he is in tears, waves at everyone, doors close.

Eli: A big hand for the detective -- he's become a real Salemite.
