A really well done episode. Replay of Julie taunting Gabi, who in turn, zaps Julie big time, causing her to pass out. Yep, the gawkers just stare, immobile, Rafe tries to grab the phone, she pulls away. However, Chad manages to grab it out of her hands. Folks are standing around Julie, and Eli has gone to her, upset because she is seemingly comatose. Valerie comes over, Eli saying “do something”. She checks, Julie's pulse is strong, normal, Eli asks then what is wrong. Julie opens hers eyes, slyly says, not a thing.
And tho it gets a bit confusing, it is JJ who tells the tale. (JJ, Lani, & Julie in on it). JJ ran into the guy who was delivering the pacemaker at the hospital. It bugged him, thinking he knew the guy from somewhere. As he walks away, remembers him from when JJ was a cop, bad dude, record a mile long. JJ got a cop friend to take the fellow in, tried to get him to 'fess up on Gabi, no success. So, he came up with different plan, got a different pacemaker for Julie. Told Lani. They later fill in Julie, come up with the plan, Julie determined to help expose Gabi. It worked.
Gabi is not pleased, Lani tells Rafe she knows he loves his sister, but is only cop there, has to arrest her. He does, reads rights, she asks if he has to do this. Oh, yes, he takes her away. Julie apologizes profusely to Lani, thanking her for all she did, sacrificing herself to save Julie's life. Eli is listening. Julie wants to go to Doug now. Lani thanks JJ big time, he tells her to go talk to Eli, who now walks out. Chad & Abby will drive Julie.
Doug sits with Jen & Jack, talking of how Doug visited Hope, can't believe she is Gina, & he could tell all this while, and was unable to get Hope back. They assure him it will happen, just will take time.
Jen gets a call, comes back to the table with sad news, She tears up as she says her father died. Doug hugs her, tells her what a great man her father was, saying he could tell so many stories. Jen is eager to hear some, he starts with being in prison, different name, getting Bill Horton for a cell mate. (flashbacks here, including one where Bill was being threatened, Doug came along, jumped one guy, Bill is grappling with the other, guard comes, all stops. Jen says if it wasn't for you, I might not be here. Doug laughs, tells how he was planning on coming to Salem to woo Susan Martin who inherited lot of money. (flashbacks) Jen asks what happened, Doug says he met Julie. Changed everything for him. He talks of his life, becoming a better man. There is long flashback of Bill Horton coming for Jen's wedding, gifting her with her mother's pearls.
Chad & Abby arrive with Julie, they talk more of Hope/Gina. In comes JJ. Doug says they were doing memories, but there is something more important. Jen gets up, puts Abby & JJ side by side, telling them Grampa Bill died. They all talk of going to Africa, Chad saying he will call travel agent, Abby doesn't want him to go along, so many tropical diseases there, doesn't want to expose the kids, so Chad should stay behind with them. He agrees. Jack is alone with JJ, telling him he knows it has been a tough year, another funeral, he's lost Haley, now this. He feels JJ has done so well, is so very proud of him, big Hug. O.k. Time for all to get going. Abby & Chad says goodbye, will be back before you know it. Kiss. Julie, who has been upset, hugs Jen, talked of how much Bill Horton meant to them all.
At the cop shop, Rafe comes into the interrogation room, asking Gabi how could she have done this. Gabi has been wiping a tear or two away, now starts in on her excuses. She never thought she would find true love, mentioning past lovers, then came Stefan, and she had it at last. Then suddenly, he was gone, along with their hopes, dream future, family. She is going on and on, Rafe tells her no excuse to hurt all those people, commit all the crimes. Gabi still thinks it was o.k., everyone was being so happy, she wanted them to feel the pain like she did. He reminds her she tried to kill Julie in front of dozens of witnesses.
Doug & Julie are alone now, talking of how Doug has been in Salem 50 years. They embrace, start to dance, music plays, lovely song, and a long montage of Doug & Julie, young, middle aged, present day, having a child, then a grandchild. It is truly well done. Back to present day, they dance, they kiss. Across the screen is ...Happy 50th anniversary Bill!
