I don't know HOW they can prove self-defense when Ava was smothered in a hospital bed and she was physically incapable of torturing anybody at that point.
Because there is clear precedent in Salem that for self-defense to count, the person doesn't have to be an immediate threat at the point in time the death occurs. You just have to prove that the person killed intended to cause harm to somebody at some point in the future. (See, e.g., Isabella Toscano killing her sister Marina).

Beyond that, it's basically a jury nullification case. Even if it's not technically self-defense under the legal definition, you just convince a jury that Ava was going to kill Kayla and they won't convict Steve.

That baby John is your great-granddaughter. Don't pull a Hope act like family isn't your relatives friends.

OK. Yeah I see how that would work. I never really saw it that way.

Just for reference though, I think Marina's death was more of an accident than self-defense. How did Marina die anyway?

When do we see Steve and Kayla again? Seems like an odd way to end today

Poor Abby. She's so jumpy now that she knows that Batshit Ben is on the prowl.

So Gabi never met up with her daughter's grandaunt then? How long has she been in town? It seems like she only has scenes with Belle and Philip.

When was the last time Petrov was in Salem? 1980 something?

Petrov? I thought that was Gary Busey.

I wish that we could see more Stayla flashbacks.

Maybe Ava knew that she was a snake so she decided to use snakes as a motif.

Actor Mark Laursen just posted on his facebook that he was just cast to play Gary Busey in a movie.

Looks like Abby and Jen are both on edge.

Did Jen live in the DiMera mansion when she was married to Peter?

So is Jen high on her pain pills now?

MR issues aside, it's a missed beat to not reference Peter/Jennifer.

But did they live in the house together?

Abby's ex-stepfather is about to become her brother-in-law.

I agree with Jennifer. Just leave Abby.

Very little John today :-/

Gabi speaking Spanish... Got it, Days, you are NOW diverse :rolleyes:

I'm confused about the serum. That's why Bo died. But Deimos only wanted the money for it. Now Petrov has it. And will do what? I really feel like the Winterthorne guys (who appear to be John's Dad) will take it from Petrov

That was ridiculous. I don't remember Petrov being such a shrinking violet.

Little Thomas is SO adorable with Abby.

Jennifer hopped up on pills is just NOT helping Abby today. If Jennifer was herself I think she`d put all her Dimera hate aside for now and help comfort her worried daughter.

Ben is the threat now not the ghosts of Dimera mansion.
