On that note, Kate bought the B&B- is that the Salem Inn (I feel silly asking this)? |

The B&B is the Martin Mansion. The Salem Inn is a Hotel. |

Thanks! That has been irking me because Kate kicked out everyone at the B&B and the whole time in my head I was thinking "but doesn;t everyone actually live at the Salem Inn?" So Paul probably still lives at the Inn. Wonder where Sonny lives. And Aiden. |

For a first script from John Newman it wasn't bad. There was a bit too much of the teens but I have to say it was nice seeing them acting and talking more like teens than the heavy stuff they had previously. I laughed at the faces Joey and Claire were making at on other. I wonder if Chase was feeling the same thing I was. Seriously who belongs more in a mental health facility, me or Dad. Aiden is beyond delusional. He's going to turn into a genuine psychopath in no time flat. He confirmed a lot of suspicions today that yes, he's going to blackmail Hope into getting back together with him by holding the fact that she murdered Stefano over her head. He really doesn't know Hope at all. And for why he believes that Ciara will move to Oregon with them and they'll all be a happy family - well I can only blame that on his delusions. The Chad / Gabi stuff - well to be honest I don't know what to make of it. I don't know what they were going for in those scenes but I did like the discussion of their past. Were they seriously chem-testing those two? It's obvious Gabi's new job is going to create conflict between her and JJ. I understand JJ's reservations and fears but he may have to start looking at Chad from a different angle and not just seeing the DiMera name. I buy the concern between Kate and Chad. Those two have a long, shared history. I can see why they'd both be concerned about one another so I wasn't surprised to see Chad show up at Kate's. Although I don't understand why he didn't step out of the house and call the cops before going inside. I like that Abe has a presence during this storyline - I hope it continues that way. |

You know what would have made the Gabi and Chad scenes less out of left field? If it had been Gabi instead of freaking CIARA helping Chad out/bonding with him over raising Thomas these last few months. Grrrrr |

Lots of positives IMO today. I don't mind them not picking up from yesterday because they left all the characters yesterday in a spot where you could shift focus and not hurt the story. Plus, they featured other characters reacting and dealing with the prisoner drama so they still kept the momentum of the story up IMO. The biggest positive today was the teens IMO. Finally they acted their age for the first time and felt relatable and they each had personality! And it made all their performances better, even VJ. It was the most natural they all felt IMO. Sure, it was nothing special acting-wise and was just filler but it was a start and they all felt comfortable for the first time and they tied them in with the adult stories. More of this please! Also, there has been an obvious shift in the the central character of the teens. It is no longer Ciara. it appears they have shifted Claire into the role of the central character because now everything is about her and how she feels and her reactions to things. At least it feels that way. I guess they finally realized they pushed Ciara too much and VJ is not suitable in that role. I can already see a slow burn Ciara turn coming where she becomes full on schemer. On top of Ciara shifting to the backburner, it's clear Hope and Rafe's story has been moved to more of a B story. This may be a slight screentime downturn but I just feel as through they aren't pushing them as hard when they do appear. They feel like themselves again. Rafe is being snarky for one. Today, they were featured but their story felt more like how the basic black story felt last Fall where it was there and got play here and there but wasn't a dominant tale. I think we are seeing the result of feedback they received with some of this. Glad they bothered to revisit Chase and I love sleazy Aiden. DC seems to love playing this. Anything they do with JJ and Gabi is going to be WTF because they did nothing with them. Their relationship had no development. We barely saw them. I'm just going with it because I really like what they are doing with them. It's realistic conflict that suits them and I like how they each have positions on things (like the Abigail situation). CB has good chemistry with BF and I like that they even bothered to acknowledge their history. I am here for this story. About time they start giving these two story. Only makes sense to bring in Chad with the shared history. I do like how they showed us the flashbacks of JJ and Gabi and Kate and Clyde just to give viewers a crash course on some of their moments. I know many will disagree but I have always liked the Kate/Chad relationship so seeing them close again makes me happy. Good ending with Clyde. I never commented on yesterday but I did enjoy it aside from a few nitpicks here and there. I am really happy with the way the show is building story. And, despite how much I liked the serial killer story a year ago, they are handling this prison break story much better in terms of having the whole town feel impacted and being in fear. Everyone is talking about it and feels impacted. That is how it should be. |

I also really liked today. It may not have been as exciting as the last two days but I'm seeing more believeable interaction and while it was slower at times, I wasnt godawful bored like I was before. I also like Kate/Chad's relationship so I'm glad that's returned. I'm also fine with Chad/Gabi interacting. It works. I feel for Chad, only so many people are his side, he needs all the friends he can. While I understand it, I don't like JJ's hatred of the Dimeras, especially Chad. I hope he comes back around. While I'm not a Rope fan, the few times they've on since the change, they do seem better written and not as much in your face. I also hope the teens continue to be written like this, it almost felt like a real teen set doing ordinary things hanging out. more of that. |

Worst writing for a teen set I have seen in a long time. The entire group seems spoiled, lacking in interest in anything. No kudos here for the Higley Quan team! The acting needs huge improvement from the entire group Edited by Puppyfan, Sep 15 2016, 03:25 PM.

I'm still holding out hope that nothing serious is going to start between Chad and Gabi. I think it will most likely just continue to be angst for her and JJ. But that nothing romantic is going to happen between Chad and Gabi. I love JJ and Gabi and I like that Gabi and Chad are friends. I hope TPTB leave it the way it is. |

Okay I don't even know what Aiden is obsessed with when it comes to Hope anymore but I like shady Aiden so I'll go with it. I just wish it was shadiness born from revenge instead of obsession. |

Link to summary archive: http://www.network54.com/Forum/358635/ Director: Noel Maxam Scriptwriter: John Newman Segment 1 Kate is sitting at a table in the square reading about the prison break on her Tablet. Rafe and Hope are in the squad room with Abe and a lot of uniformed cops. Hope - How's John? Abe - He's fine. He's recovering. The bullet just grazed him. I was able to keep the incident out of the press conference but the media smells blood. Hope - Orpheus and Xander taking hostages shows us that they're not exactly trying to keep a low profile. JJ - Or maybe they're just not very smart. Hope - No Orpheus, he is very smart. He has a lot of scores to settle here in Salem. Abe - And Clyde Weston? Hope - Intel thinks he's headed towards Poplar Bluff. Abe - Did you talk to Jordan? Rafe - She has not spoken to him nor does she want to. Abe - Let's hope the guy stays as far away from here as possible but in the meantime we have to stay vigilant. He knows how hard you two worked to put him away before JJ made the collar so you had better all watch your backs. Chad is in the living room of the mansion reading a document. He sits down on one of Thomas's squeaky toys. Gabi comes into the room. I come bearing gifts. Well actually they're dress clothes. Chad - Dress clothes. Gabi - Yes, your Image Consultant has chosen the appropriate clothing to make sure you look like the highly esteemed DiMera Enterprises CEO. Chad - So I have to try all of these on. Gabi - Well not now. You can look them over and try them on later. It's not a lot, I know you're a busy man. Chad - Optics are important. Gabi - Yeah they are everything. Try this one dahling! Chad - Green's not really my colour. Gabi - It's pinstripe. Green pinstripe. Can you just try it on. I think it would look great on you. Chad - Maybe if you pitch me a little bit better. Gabi - Alright, how's this. Green is a colour that projects confidence. There are many studies and numerous research ... Chad - Research? Well in that case ... Gabi - Yes and you can pair it with this tie. The same research says that women react very favourably to shades of blue. Chad - So I'm guessing we have more options. Gabi - Oh yeah I'm all about the options. Here ... Chad - White. I want that one. That one's better. Gabi - Wow, white. You're such a guy. Here try it on for size. Chad removes his shirt. Gabi sneaks a peek. Ciara, Joey, Theo and Claire are sitting at a table at Club TBD. Claire - One day down, another, what 1200 to go. Joe - It wasn't that bad. Maybe a few speed bumps here and there. Ciara - All of my classes felt like 5 hrs long. Her cell beeps. I'm so sick and tired of all these news alerts. Claire - Can you believe my phone started buzzing in the middle of Econ class. My professor was not amused. Theo - What century does he live in. Phones are going to go off in class. Ciara - Yeah, it's not like we can turn them off. Joe - I kept zoning out in Physics class. I have no idea what was said. Claire - Okay is it just me or is college just totally overrated. I mean maybe that's what I get for signing up late but still. Ciara - Yeah well when you sign up late all the good classes are taken. Claire - Which is why I am not going to put myself through further torture. No way am I going back. Joey makes a smart remark. Laughter. Aiden is with Chase in a meeting room. Aiden - So he's making progress? Brown - We think so, yes. Aiden - You think so. Brown - We adjusted his medications recently. That seems to be helping. Aiden - Chase. Chase - Today was supposed to be my first day of classes at Salem U. Aiden - I know. Look you're going to start a little later than everyone else okay. It's not a big deal. You'll catch up in no time. You're so damned smart. Remember what we talked about, staying positive. Chase - I'm just trying to be realistic Dad. I'm trying to own what I did. Aiden - And you have. Now it's time to start focusing on getting your life back on track which is why we are getting out of here. In fact, today, right now. Brown - Mr. Jennings, I'm not sure that's the best course of action. Aiden - Well Mr. Brown I am. In fact I'm quite disappointed with all the problems you've got going on around here. No, no, this Abigail DiMera scandal. It's time for me to transfer my son to another facility. Brown - Mr. Jennings ... Aiden - Chase you're going back to Portland. You're going to resume treatment with your previous therapist and I've already cleared it with the Judge. Brown - I wish I'd been consulted. Aiden - Mr. Brown this isn't about what's best for you. This is about what's best for my son okay. So please do not try to stop me. Do not fight me on this because if you do I will exercise every legal option I have to make your life a living hell. Hope - Ciara's not answering my texts. Abe - Not to worry. I just talked to Theo. He said all is well. Rafe - Good. Well first day in college, let's hope they're not paying attention to the news. Abe - Yeah I know. You know I'm walking a fine line with what to tell the public until these criminals are caught. Rafe - Well in light of the massive manhunt I'm pretty sure our perps are smart enough to stay out of public in broad daylight. JJ - I'm not sure I'd put anything past them. Abe - Well the average person on the street doesn't have much to worry about given that Xander and Orpheus have old scores to settle. But there are certain individuals walking around Salem with targets on their backs and with our limited resources that's who we have to protect first. That's our priority. Kate looks up and amongst the people she catches a glimpse of Clyde. Segment 2 Abe - Our first order of business is a list of potential targets. Rafe - Let's get a list out to those individuals and have them exercise extreme caution. Rafe answers the phone. Hernandez. Kate, Kate, just slow down. Kate, yeah listen to me. Just stay put. We'll be right over. Brown - Mr. Jennings have you considered how Chase feels about this move. Aiden - Mr. Brown would you mind giving me and my son a moment alone please. Brown - Of course. Aiden - Thank you. Chase - Dad of course I want to get out of here and I would feel more comfortable with my old therapist. Aiden - It's already been arranged. Chase - But you're going to stay in Salem, right? That's your plan. Aiden - Chase this isn't about me, it's about you. Chase - I know but ... Aiden - What is it? Chase - I just can't help but think you're trying to get rid of me. Maybe you think sending me away is going to help you win back Hope. Joe - Come to think of it, none of us really have to ever go to college again. It's not like they take attendance. That's why college is so cool 'cause you can do whatever you want. Ciara - Amazing observation Joey. Maybe one day you can get a job in Admissions or as College Counsellor. Joe - Nah, I'd rather be a janitor. Claire - He's got a point though. None of this is mandatory. Ciara - I think passing classes is mandatory. Claire - No I mean seriously, what are my parents going to do? Like come back from Hong Kong and force me to go to school which is btw, a total waste of time. I mean I know I promised but really I'm taking biology, why? I want to be a singer not a brain surgeon. Joe - Why? Everything about you screams brain surgeon Claire. Claire - OMG you're hilarious Joey. Theo - Well I think Claire can be anything she puts her mind to including a brain surgeon. Claire - Thank you Theo. Theo - And I bet she'd be a better brain surgeon than you Joey. Claire - That's very sweet Theo. Joe - Yeah aren't you sweet Theo. Claire - Hey, at least someone has respect for me. She kisses Theo's cheek. Ciara recalls telling Theo she's not ready for a relationship with him. JJ is sitting at a desk in the squad room. He looks at a pic of him and Gabi on his cell. F/B of moments together with Gabi. Abe - JJ. JJ - Yes sir, I'm sorry. Do you need me? Abe - Yeah I do. I want you to talk to Chad DiMera. JJ - Okay. Abe - I'm sure he knows about the prisoner escape from the transport van but I think he needs to be warned about Clyde Weston since he and Thomas are especially vulnerable where Weston is concerned. JJ - Right. So even though Clyde is supposed to be headed to Poplar Bluff ... Abe - There's no way to know for sure if there's any truth to that. But if he turns up in Salem ... JJ - On it Mayor. Chad is shirtless talking on his cell. You know what my schedule's like. So if they can't work around it they'll be losing a partner. Exactly. So keep me in the loop. Thank you. Sorry, about that. Gabi - Sorry about what, showing off the fact that you have a gym membership. Chad - That isn't quite what it was (he mentions modelling - didn't catch exactly what he said). Gabi - The good old days. Actually I wanted to clear that up, you know, everything that went down before. Chad - You don't have to. Gabi - I know but I want to do it for me since we're working together again. Chad I feel awful about that, beyond awful about it still. I mean how I acted when we went our separate ways. I just felt like I had lost ... Chad - Hey we moved past it. Gabi - Right and I'm not trying to relive it or anything. I just wanted to say thank you for covering for me when you did because if you hadn't ... Chad - You wouldn't have Ari. Gabi - Right. And I thank God for her every day and I thank God that you and Abigail have Thomas because that means she's always going to be with you and you're never going to be alone. Hope and Rafe trail after Kate in the square. Hope - What happened? Kate, tell us. Kate - I saw him. I saw Clyde. Hope - You saw him! You saw his face. You were able to identify him. Kate - No not exactly but I know it was him. Rafe - Listen we are encouraging everyone to be extremely cautious but ever since the alert has gone out we have been getting sightings from everywhere. Hope - All unfounded so far. Rafe - The mall security team has gone over to your place, we got the go ahead. You're all clear, okay. Kate - Mall security! You outsourced the search to rent-a-cops. Really! We're all going to rest easy knowing that. Rafe - If it was Clyde who was after you and he came here to harm you in any way ... Kate - What? I wouldn't be here right now. Is that what you're saying or are you saying I'd actually deserve whatever happens to me 'cause I'm the one who brought him to Salem. Rafe - No I think going out with him was punishment enough. Kate - Okay, I don't have anything else to say. Hope - Kate, why don't you let us take you home. Make sure you get there safely, okay. Rafe - If anything else happens, if there's another emergency please do not hesitate to call us. Kate - Oh yeah I'll call you if I'm still alive. Segment 3 Chad is looking in the mirror. He has the white shirt on. Gabi is behind him. Yeah I think that's totally the one. How does it feel? Chad - Like a shirt. Gabi - Do you like the look? Chad - It's a shirt. Gabi - Okay before you change your mind would you please just pick a tie. Chad - It's too much. Gabi - Are you asking me or telling me. Chad - It's too much. Gabi - Okay well, wow. Okay, wow. Chad - Wow what! Gabi laughs - When you offered me this job you never told me I'd have such a demanding boss. Oh I'm sorry, was I suppose to say you are a dream to work with Mr. DiMera. Chad smiles - See, that would be nice. Gabi - Would you please just pick one. He points - That one. Gabi - The purple one. Chad - The purple one. Abby always said I looked good in purple. Gabi - Okay then let's pick this one. Chad - No I vetoed that option so let's not. Gabi - Are you trying to mess with my head, is that what it is? Chad - No I'm thinking fine, let's try it. Gabi - Abigail and I would never steer you wrong. Chad - Promise. Gabi - Promise. She holds the tie up to his shirt. You look hot, like sophisticated. Chad - Hot? Gabi - Yes, not ... Chad - I got it. Gabi - Yeah it looks good. JJ comes in - Gabi, what are you doing here? Ciara - You guys have been staring at me for the past three minutes. Can you like not judge. Joe - We're fascinated. Theo - Because it's so gross. Ciara - No knocking my fry dipping customs. Claire - I'll fix it, she eats the fries. Problem solved. Ciara looks over at Joe. Way to make everything easier, highlighting your entire book. Joe - Hey don't you have somewhere better to be like playing patty cake with a baby. Ciara - Actually no. I'm not Thomas's nanny anymore. Joe - Oh you're not. I thought you liked that job. Claire - Joey, what about you? Why are you here slumming it with us instead of Jade. Joe - Because Jade's grandmother is sick and she had to go out of town with her folks to take care of her. Theo - That must be hard, having to miss out on school. Joe - That's not the hard part. She hates school. She hates her parents even more and I'm starting to hate this textbook and my brain's already grilled. Claire - Yeah I can see the smoke coming out of your ears. (LOL at the faces Claire and Joey make at each other). Theo - I'm just glad we have a routine again. I have a really good feeling about this year. Claire - Wish I could say the same. Ciara - Claire, seriously, you've got to stop. Claire - Sorry, I can't fake how I feel. Ciara - How about this then, instead of sitting here feeling miserable for ourselves let's fix it right now! Aiden - Okay look this is not about me getting rid of you alright. In fact I'm going to be joining you in Oregon in about a month or so. Chase - Really, what about Hope? I thought you ... Aiden - Wanted her back. I do. Look I love her and I know she loves me. We were once very happy together. Chase - That was early on. Aiden - I know we can have that happiness again and when we do we're going to move up to be near you in Oregon. We'll all be together. Chase - Dad you lied to her over and over again. Do you really think she's going to forgive you for that. Aiden - Well she won't have a choice. Rafe and Hope follow Kate into the Martin house. Kate - So that's it. Just lock everything up and call you if I'm about to get murdered. I don't rate very high on that priority scale, do I? Rafe - Well actually that's not it. We're taking this very seriously Kate. Hope - Kate we have very limited resources right now. Rafe - Even though we're not sure if Clyde is actually in town. Kate - I saw him with my own eyes. Rafe - You said the man you saw, you're not sure it actually was Clyde. Hope - Julie mentioned that Andre is living here with you now. Rafe - That's bound to keep any mortal away. Kate - Andre's not home. Rafe - Okay. How about this then even though we're not sure Clyde is in town we'll have a squad car stationed outside your place to keep an eye on things, okay. Kate - You know, forget it, really. Forget it. I'll get my own security here. I don't think I'd trust yours anyway. Rafe - Okay well suit yourself. Hope - We need to get back to the search. Kate, be safe. Kate - Oh I will no thanks to you. Segment 4 Ciara - Okay, you know that music class you were wait-listed for, you're in it now. Claire - Wait. What! You hacked into the system Mr. Robot style. Ciara - Yep, all above board. I had a friend that was taking up space in the class. She didn't even show up today so I texted her, convinced her to drop out now instead of mid-semester where she wouldn't even get a refund. So win-win. Claire - Thank you Ciara. Ciara - So now you can stop complaining about how much college sucks, right. Claire - Not part of the deal. Ciara - Can you at least give it a month. Claire - Yes I'll try. Seriously though, thank you so much. I really appreciate that. Now at least I'll have one class where I'm not bored out of my mind. Theo - Speaking of bored out of his mind ... Joe looks up from his laptop - School can wait Theo. Right now I'm on Claire's YouTube channel and it is lit up. Theo - What! Claire - Really. I know I got a lot of views when I sang at prom but the new ones, they're doing well? Joe - You'll have to start selling your autograph pretty soon. Abe walks in. Claire - Looks like the Mayor's here to pick you up Theo. Theo - This is why I need a driver's licence. Hey Dad. Abe - Well this is a good looking group of first year college students. So how'd it go? Theo - Good. Better than good actually. Abe - Good, I'm happy to hear that. Look we've got to get you kids home safely before dark. You haven't heard the news yet, have you? Ciara - We've been in class all day. Joe is looking at his laptop again - Whoa, there was a hostage situation at Brady and Theresa's wedding. Claire - What! Ciara - Is everyone okay. Abe - They will be. Claire - Wait, was somebody hurt? Abe - Yeah. John was shot. Gabi is putting the white shirt on the hanger as Chad is putting his other shirt back on. Gabi - Chad got me a job. JJ - What kind of job? Gabi - Well I'm an Image Consultant for DiMera Enterprises. Chad - Yeah, happy to have her. She got me a great shirt. JJ - Okay. I don't understand. How come you didn't tell me about this? Gabi - I would have. It's just been crazy busy. Chad - What's up JJ? JJ - I'm sure you both heard about the prisoners escaping from the transport van including Clyde Weston. Chad - Yeah but he's heading back to Poplar Bluff. JJ - The other prisoners have already been spotted in Salem. Chad - Okay so what are you saying, that Clyde Weston is coming back here. Kate is sitting on the staircase. She recalls having sex with Clyde and other encounters including her breakup with him. Segment 5 JJ - There's no credible info yet that Clyde is in Salem but it doesn't hurt to be on the safe side especially when it comes to Thomas. Chad - Because Ben still thinks that Thomas is his son. And Clyde's a psychopath who'll do anything for him so what do I? Beef up my security and lockdown the hatches? JJ - Exactly. Listen where's my nephew. I was hoping to see him. Chad - Adrienne took him out. Gabi - Chad I'm going to head out and come back tomorrow with more clothes. Chad - Yeah. JJ follows Gabi out. Chad makes a call. Adrienne hey, can you bring back Thomas as soon as possible. No everything's fine. I'll explain it to you when you get home. I just need you to bring him back ASAP. It has something to do with Clyde Weston. Thank you. See you soon. His cell rings - Kate. Kate - Chad, I saw him. Earlier today I saw Clyde. Chad - Did you call the police? Kate - Yes. Hope and Rafe just left but they didn't take me seriously okay. I have security coming. But listen to me, I need you to be safe. I know that Clyde is going to blame you for what happened to Ben. Who knows what he's going to do. She hears a noise. What was that! Rafe and Hope are in the square. Rafe - So Chad's been alerted. Maybe we should split up. Check in with the perimeter patrol units, see if there's been any movement. You good? Hope - Yeah I was ... since Aiden was instrumental in getting the charges to stick against Weston, maybe we need to check in with him. Rafe - No you should not be the one to do that. I'll put another cop on it. Hope - Thank you. Rafe - Has he said anything else to you about reopening Stefano's murder case. Hope - No I'm not sure if I should feel relieved about it or really nervous. Chase - Hope won't have a choice! What does that mean? Aiden - Chase I don't want you to worry about it alright. Chase - Dad, I don't get it. Aiden - Okay I can tell you this alright. I have a little piece of information that I know Hope would like to keep secret. Chase - What, so you're going to blackmail her into being with you. Aiden - Here's what's going to happen. She and I are going to spend a little alone time together. She'll remember all the good times we had together and then remember our love. Segment 6 Claire is on her cell. Okay, I love you too. Bye. Grandpa John is okay, thank God. Abe - The bullet just grazed his arm as I told you. Claire I can give you a ride to the hospital if you like. Claire - Thank you but Grandpa told me not to come. He said he was going to be discharged soon. Abe - He's a lucky man. We've all been lucky. Ciara - For once. Abe - Well let's just pray it stays that way. Chad - Maybe I should come over. Kate - No it's fine. It was just the wind. Chad - Okay but I still don't want you to be alone. Kate - Look Chad I'm fine. I have my security, they're going to be here any time and if something happens before that I have Rafe on speed dial, I'll just call him. Chad - Okay, stay safe. Kate - You stay safe too. You and Thomas. Chad picks up Thomas's toy. JJ and Gabi are sitting at a table at the Brady Pub. JJ - Are you sure you don't mind us making a pit stop. I'm running on empty. Gabi - Impressive. JJ - Sorry? Gabi - The whole text without looking thing. JJ - I'm sorry. I'll stop. You have my full attention. Gabi - Hashtag blessed. JJ - So working for Chad DiMera. I can't say I'm all that happy about it. Gabi - You know what, just go back to texting. JJ - I love you Gabi and I worry about you. Getting involved with the DiMera's even in business, can be dangerous. Gabi - I'm picking out clothes for Chad. I'm literally getting paid to shop. I mean, hello, dream job. JJ - I'm being serious. Gabi - JJ, you're a cop. JJ - What does that have to do with anything! Gabi - You're telling me my job is dangerous. JJ - That's a whole different thing. Gabi - Why, is it because I'm a woman. JJ - No it has nothing to do with you. You know what I mean. Gabi - No I don't know. Please tell me. JJ - Chad leads a complicated life. Because of his name he has a lot of enemies. I tried to warn Abigail about that too. Gabi - JJ ... JJ - Come on Gabi. Can't you understand why it would worry me? Gabi - Not really. The whole situation that happened with your sister, the tragedy of what happened, I get that it's a pain that you're always going to have but it had nothing to do with Chad. Nothing. JJ - How can you say that. Gabi - Because it was Ben Weston who killed all those people and he put her through hell. JJ - Yeah but Chad was in the picture. He provoked it. Gabi - I don't think that Chad intended to provoke anything with Ben. He always tried to protect her against him. JJ - Yeah well that went really well. Gabi - Of course it didn't go well because he was a psychopath. But the way it all went down I'm sure that Chad did everything in his power to protect Abigail from what happened because he loved her very much. JJ - Yeah well a lot of DiMera men have loved their women so much and they all end up getting hurt badly or worse. Look what EJ did to my sister, practically ruining her reputation. Got her fired from her job. That really screwed her up too. Gabi - EJ's not here anymore JJ. JJ - But Chad is and no, he may not be directly at fault, I feel like I lost my sister to the DiMera's and I'm not going to lose you to them too. Kate is walking around the foyer of her house talking to herself. Doors, closed, locked. She hears a noise again. I'm not staying here alone. She looks for her keys. Clyde holds them up - You looking for these darling. Segment 7 Abe - Just to be on the safe side I don't want anyone of you out there alone after dark. Joe - Secret Service escort? I'm in. Abe - Not exactly. Ciara - I'm down to ride with you guys. Claire - I don't see the point. Joe - Safety in numbers Claire. Claire - Yeah but if I go home then I'll be alone anyway. Abe - John and Marlena will be there soon. Claire - Thank you but I'd rather stay here a little while longer, get some more work done. Also my grandparent's Wi-Fi sucks. Abe - Claire. Claire - No I will leave before dark, I promise. Theo - Claire, just come with us. Claire - Theo no I will be fine, really. I'll call you if I need anything. You guys go. Abe - Claire I am going to insist that you leave here in one hour okay. No later. Claire - I will, okay. One hour. Abe - I'm going to send a beat cop by to make sure you're heading home by then. Claire - Thank you. Joe - Talk later. Claire - Sure. Bye. They leave. Claire takes a bunch of selfies in various poses. Gabi - You're not going to lose me JJ okay. I survived prison. I can take care of myself. JJ - I never said that you couldn't. It's working for Chad ... Gabi - Yeah but it's not fair for you to judge Chad, not when you yourself said it's not his fault for what happened to Abigail. Plus he's your family now. He's your nephew's father. If you want to talk about something dangerous than we can talk about ... JJ - You're going to bust my chops about Clyde. Gabi - You put him behind bars. JJ - Where is this going? Gabi - Have you ever reconsidered being a cop? JJ - No. Your brother's a cop, you don't have a problem with him. Gabi - You're not my brother. You're ... JJ gets a text. I'm sorry, it's the station calling. They want me back on the search. Gabi - Hey are we okay. JJ kisses her. Good. Gabi - Be careful. JJ - You too. Hope and Rafe return to the squad room. Rafe - No credible leads in all of Salem. Hope - They're laying low. Sooner or later they're going to rear their ugly heads. Rafe hands her a cup of coffee. Well partner, it looks like it's going to be a long night. Chase - You think Hope is going to leave Ciara and move to Oregon for you. Aiden - Yes I do. In fact I'll go one step further. I will bet you Ciara is going to want to come. She's going to transfer to a college up there. Chase - Ciara would never. Aiden - Okay Chase please. We talked about this. You're being negative again. Please stop. We're going to go to Portland. You remember how happy we were there. We're all going to be there together and we're all going to be happy, okay. It's going to come to fruition because I know how to make it happen. He smiles. Kate - Get out Clyde before I call the cops. Clyde - Now that's no way to welcome an old friend. It's been so long. I just want to do a little catching up. Kate - Not long enough. Clyde trains a gun on her - Sweetheart you move, you're a dead woman. Kate sees Chad in the doorway. Clyde - You hear me, a dead woman. Chad steps inside. |

Boring episode. The only good about the show was Chad and Gabi scenes. That's all. Ciara needs to go. She's getting worse every time. |

Okay - the show watches better than the Tweets. Finally, the teens are acting like teens and I like the shift from focusing on Ciara to focusing on Claire. I really love all the Abe today and his interaction with the teens was good. The Chad/Gabi/JJ stuff feels manufactured because JG never did anything with JJ/Gabi. I don't mind Gabi being a little on the anxious side right now. She got out of prison, she learned she had a half-sister only after she was killed by a serial killer, reconnected with her missing dad, the father of her child was killed by Ben the serial killer and she is the one who found him, her mom showed up after being kidnapped by Yo Ling, she bounced back and forth between Basic a Black and DJ Wear, she and Ari were both very sick from Yo Ling's virus, her brother Dario shows up and all the Hernandi moved in under one roof, she starts dating JJ, she was attacked, her dad left and then her mom left...even though Gabi hasn't gotten much airtime she's been through a lot in one year. I think she's entitled to feel a little anxious and be overwhelmed. But as she said today, "#Blessed" (I nearly died laughing when she said that). Even though the spoilers were "meh" the show was pretty good - still have my quibbles though. I loved Kate being spooked - maybe if she stopped being a raging bitch to everyone she'd have much less reason to be fearful. Clyde, Clyde, Clyde, you have a gun. Stop talking, start shooting. Chase is like - um Dad you might be crazy...good send-off to the character of Chase. Too bad they ruined his character, but the actor's a bit of an ass so it all washes out, I guess. Aiden is full-on delusional...I like it. If they play it right he could be someone that causes problems for Hope for years (put him on rotation with the other villains - don't kill them off!). Liked the Jordan mention. Liked that Claire knows who Grandpa John is and was concerned enough to call. Liked that Kate warned Chad. Liked Hope and Rafe in cop mode - even though they were on a bit today they weren't as insufferable as they have been. My one wish is that they can keep these improvements going over the months to come and write good stories for all the cast and work out the kinks and quibbles as they go along. |

Am I the only one who felt that Gabi trying not to look at shirtless Chad was a little juvenile? Yes, BF is very attractive and we know she had a thing for Chad. But that's the kind of story that works for, say, when Ciara was hung up on Chad. Gabi is not some doe-eyed school girl. She's been married. She's a mother. She's been to prison. A little more nuance would have made for a better choice. I don't know. Like others, I love that each story hit on the villains and the action at the Black-Donovan non-wedding. And the use of Abe is A+. I like the conflict between JJ and Chad. If they want us to buy JJ as neglectful towards Gabi, they need to make it more organic than this. Also, wasn't this a problem with Marlena and Roman? |

Granted I don't much like Hope and Rafe either, but why was Kate such a bitch to them today? Was there a reason, or is that just her lovely personality? What does Joey mean when he said Claire's YouTube channel was "lit up"? |

Does Abe know that Claire is John's granddaughter? Odd that he would say "John" was shot instead of your grandfather was shot. |

Um, why does there have to be so many Kate flashbacks of Clyde, but we got only 2 very short flashbacks of Orpheus? |

Yes Chad, you should probably beef up your security and lock down the hatches since people tend to be able to just walk into your house anytime they feel like it. Gabi's job is so lame. So, Adrienne had no dea about what happened at the Kiriakis mansion? Kate's foyer is the old DiMera foyer. Well, that Hope/Rafe scene ended very awkwardly. Bad editing? :blulaugh: |

Aiden wants to spend a little alone time with Hope so they can remember their love? Didn't they do that recently? Are they just going to redo that plot over again, only he'll kidnap her? :rolleyes: |
