Joey is overwhelmed by what Ava has done to him and his family so he kills her. This was driven by booze and emotion. He's not rational. Steve comes in just at this time and takes the fall for his son. Steve wants to protect his son and he gets him away from the crime soon. When Joey goes home, Kayla knows something is amiss and she's about to question him but the phone rings and she has to go to the hospital. Kayla is shocked and as a Doctor doesn't want anyone to die. Joey finally realizes what he has done when he goes back to the hospital with his Mom. He's guilt ridden that his Dad is taking the fall for him. Privately, Steve tells Joey to be quiet about what actually happened and Joey listens to his Dad. After his Dad is taken to the Police Station, Joey's guilt gets the better of him and he confesses to Kayla what actually happened. She is terrified for her son and like Steve, wants to protect him. Kayla and Steve finally get a chance to talk privately where she tells him that she knows the truth. She doesn't want people to find out the truth but she also wants to prove Steve innocent by showing that it was self - defense. Roman questions Steve and things don't add up. They find Joey's blood on Ava's pillow and Steve says that Joey came in after the deed was done. When Steve is in his cell, he's trying to figure out different angles to get out of this mess. There's going to be some twists with this. There's someone working behind the scenes to get him off and to be home with his family. Who could it be now? Pick up SOD! |

One common theme I kind of like about all this is that Ava came back, in part, because Joey wanted his parents to be together. It worked, but then Ava did her best to tear them apart again. Now, once again, it kind of sounds as though Joey and Ava are indirectly going to bring S/K together again -- at least as a united front for their son. There's a lot that still needs to be said and a lot that could go wrong, but I kind of appreciate the potential full circle-ness of it all. |

I'm kind of ambivalent about the S/K part of this. It feels like it's taking a back seat to the plot, when we could be seeing it driving the conflict here. Why isn't she at the police station with him? Etc. I do like that Kayla and Joey will have some big scenes, though, because that's been sorely missing. But frankly, this doesn't feel very different from the last few months of writing for them, when there were lots of plot twists, but the writing didn't play out all the beats between them. |

St. Daniel from the dead? Just kidding.....not sure if he's nice enough but maybe Victor? I can see John or Abe trying to help as well. I would really like to have Stephanie back in town too for her family. |

I have to say, I like the premise of someone working behind-the-scenes trying to help Steve without his knowledge. Wonder if Days will surprise us on this one?

I think they mean someone is helping Steve w/o his knowledge. |

I meant Steve. I've just had Joey on the brain today. I was really impressed by JLa's performance today. |

I was just musing in another thread that the mystery helper could be Shawn D. He has connections to the police, is Belle's (Steve's lawyer) ex, and...is family. I could see him saying something like, "You saved my dad and brought my family back, and now I'm returning the favor." It'd be somewhat unexpected, I think, and a nice callback to Bo. It'd also get Shawn out of the thirty-something bubble, which would be more than welcome. Of course, Shawn D should be more involved with Hope's story, but I don't mind Shawn D doing a little double duty. |

I do wonder who's trying to help Steve. I don't really like that it was Joey who killed Ava. Considering everything she did, going back to killing Shawn, Sr., all the lying she did, the way she used and manipulated a boy, attacking Kayla, holding her captive without food or water, blackmailing Steve into sex, filming it without his knowledge or consent, trying to frame Kayla for attempted murder...it was a given she was gonna come to a bad end...so no mourning here. Still, Joey's so young to have such a thing weighing on him. And it BETTER weigh on him. Steve, though...I like the way he's protecting his son. It's what I would expect Steve to do. Joey was angry and afraid of the next thing Ava would do...and there would've been a next thing...we can be sure of that. She'd already made an art of terrorizing his family. But honestly, his judgment was off. He'd been drinking. We all know 16 year olds don't always have solid judgment at the best of times, and when they've been drinking? I'm glad Steve stepped up in an effort to help his son, though. It's Classic Steve. He'd sacrifice himself for someone he loves. He's done it before. I don't actually want it to work, though. He and Kayla can try to keep Joey out of it, but I hope the truth is discovered at some point. It's better for Joey, and better drama. |

I like the idea of Shawn-D but wouldn't Shawn-D's best hep be not identifying the blood as belonging to Joey? How is Joey's blood in the system, anyway? Did he kill somebody in Ohio before he left boarding school? I know it is too much to hope for Adrienne to see Steve but if she could point out to her DA ex that Steve is super unlikely to have committed a crime to which he has confessed? That would be good for me. |

The reason I HATE the Rafe, Hope, Roman story? Why does this even matter? If Kayla asks, I'm sure Roman can get Steve or Joey off. After all, Ava was a bad person. It's just a shame a cop didn't kill her. And I love Steve taking the blame for Joey, and I am fine with the idea that Joey snapped. So I'm not pushing for either of them to go to jail, but Joey should face some punishment, whether jail time or at the least mental evaluation and treatment. Days has also put people in jail before and made a good story of it. Bill Horton brought back Doug when Bill went to jail for a crime he didn't even commit. |

Wasn't Joey born in that hospital? So his blood numbers would be in the system from then? Also, with Shawn D in forensics, perhaps he could prove, from autopsy results, that Ava took something else (to reinforce her accusations of Kayla trying to kill her)???? |

I'm definitely holding out for the idea that Ava died from something else. She seemed far more drugged/out of it when Joey was in her room than she did earlier with Kayla and then Roman. Since I have to believe that Steve gets out of this jam, the. I also have to believe that she died from something other than suffocation. And since somebody is helping behind the scenes, it seems like proving she died some other way is the only way to fix everything. |

Yes, and the autopsy would prove/show that. I agree that she seemed "sicker" or "weaker" when Joey was in the room with her, than she had been earlier when Kayla, Steve & Roman were there. |

I'm guessing it's not going to be quite as easy as an autopsy report. That would be done fairly soon and I feel like this is going to drag out a bit. But I do think there is a chance the alternate means of death will be how it gets resolved. |

Personally, I think it's terrible that two of this show's stories center around supposedly 'good' people committing murder and trying to get away with it. |

I have always believed that Ava died by someone else's hands. Joey was so drugged up or drunk when he came into that room that it seemed like he was going to fall over at any moment. Also someone had to set off that alarm to get the people around Ava's room away from there and I really don't think Joey could have done that especially as out of it as he was. He only seemed to snap out of it after he had supposedly killed Ava and Steve was there telling him to go home and say nothing. I think he believes that Ava was alive but that she was actually already dead when he came into the room. Ava Vitali was a mafia princess and I'm sure she and her family had many other enemies that would love to take her out. I really am expecting a twist to come in this story because having it be Joey just seems to in our faces. Also the fact that the actor playing Joey isn't leaving the show tells me that it's not going to turn out that Joey killed her. There's a twist coming at some point it would seem to me. I am intrigued about the mystery person helping Steve. I have thought that maybe it's Justin but considering that he's the D.A. and he and Steve aren't exactly on speaking terms after everything that happened with Justin and Adrienne I can't see him helping his former in law. I'm truly stumped about the mystery helper. I also believe as another poster stated that this is going to drag out for a bit so we'll have the autopsy report either getting lost or some other means being what breaks the case wide open.

I understand that Stefano, Ava, Andre, etc. are bad people, but what is with all the good guys becoming murderers and covering it up? |
