From SOD:
Big article about Hope/Rafe/Aiden
it says she comes back from the lodge already knowing Rafe is the one for her and not Aiden. Then Shawn tells her about the blood tests and she realizes her instincts were right. Aiden has been lying. She arrests him but Roman tells her they have nothing to charge him with. Then she goes to looks for Rafe, has a "feeling" something is wrong
, and tracks him to the Dimera house where he has been held captive with a bomb attached to him. Rafe tells her to save herself but she tries to save him anyhow. Ends up using her gun. The house explodes as Shawn arrives.
Tate has been kidnapped by Summer. Brady and Jeannie T get the police (Shawn), John and Victor involved. It says most of Salem is involved in the search (I'll believe this when I see it). It also says that Jeanie T was drugged. Brady doesn't believe it's her fault but this will cause problems for them. Victor lashes out at Jeannie T. Meanwhile she blames Summer for this and wants to go after her. Summer cannot be located.
Andre tells Chad that Abigail "died" in a plane crash. He even has her name added to the flight manifest. At first Chad doesn't believe him but then he does. Chad is distraught. Jennifer asks to take Thomas. At first he says no and then agrees to let her take him as he can't take care of Thomas in his state. I'm not sure why Jennifer wouldn't be distraught too?!
Nothing new spoiler wise. Sounds like a lot of teen stuff and Detective Shawn this week. I don't hate it.
They also did a Thumbs Down to the growing Hernandez family saying that Mama H is becoming a stereotype and Dario and Eduardo still aren't properly integrated into the canvas. Rafe also doesn't need his mom to make decisions for him. He is strong and independent. They like Blanca but it's an added person to an already full undeveloped canvas. Not much said about Gabi.
Billy Flynn (Chad) did a behind the scenes photo tour. Nothing really spoilerish but there is a photo of him running lines with Galen Gering (Rafe) and Brandon Beemer (Shawn). He is also wearing Chad's wedding ring in the photos.
