Huge Hospital Establishing Shot, Nurses' Station - Rafe is walking with an IV pole and speaking to Jada on the phone. He is being discharged. He's about to go tell Gabi.

Hospital, Gabi's Room - Gabi dreams that she's reading a magazine when purple-suited Stefan brings her flowers and tells her that Ava meant nothing, will she take him back? Rafe pulls her out of it. He tells her he's getting out of the hospital and how Gabi was conned by "the psycho who stabbed [Rafe]". Connie is safely locked up, and can't hurt them or Stefan again. Gabi claims she doesn't care about Stefan. They talk about Ava and Rafe's relationship, his cheating with Nicole, and Ava's setting Rafe up. Gabi thinks Ava couldn't ruin Rafe's life, so she moved on to hers. Rafe points out despite her hurting, her life and marriage are not ruined. He points out she's not always level-headed, and thinks she and Stefan were great together.

Square - Aaron arrives (with Marty McFly* Jr. fashion choices) to pick up Felicity, whose shift was done early. Mark had an important meeting so he couldn't pick her up. They talk about what a good brother Mark is and how they wish their parents hadn't died in an accident. Aaron tells Felicity, "It's just you me and Mark," and reminds her that he is there for her, too. (*Marty McFly from the Back to the Future movies)

Private Area - Mark meets with "Abigail" who recounts the beautiful vows she found in the attic. "Abigail" gets teary as she talks of Chad's reaction. She hates what she is doing. Mark is also torn, they are making Chad think his wife has returned when she will never return. They have no choice; if she doesn't marry Chad, their mother is a dead woman. Mark does not like lying to Aaron and Felicity. "Abigail" says, "both their parents died in that accident." (Fake Abby is looking off to the side like there's something she's not sharing with Mark, who is behind him.) Mark is upset because he hears Felicity talking to "Mom" in her room (upstairs). "Abigail" says soon they'll be able to tell them that "their mother - our mother" - is alive. She turns and she and Mark are both somber.

Horton House - Chad is looking at drawings. Julie comes down from the attic, where Charlotte loves to play with Doug and Julie's old things. They found the mementos from Chad & Abigail's marriage when they headed to Paris. The conversation is stilted and slow but amounts to Charlotte wants to talk to Abigail. Julie thinks Chad should tell them Abby's alive. They talk about how "Abigail" is the holdup but they have to hear the news from Chad.

Bistro - Tan-suited Stefan is looking and pie charts when EJ saunters in. EJ is suing Stefan for defamation for spreading lies about his role in the baby switch. They snipe back and forth at each other. EJ threatens to gossip about his night with Gabi, which will make Stefan look foolish and tie them up in court, or something. EJ won't file the suit if Stefan signs an affidavit claiming his allegations to Paulina about EJ were false. Stefan signs and they discuss how it was just one time that they had sex, but EJ says Gabi tried for a second round which he denied her out of respect for Stefan. Will Stefan ever be able to get the image of Gabi and EJ out of his head?

Private Area - Mark and "Abigail" continue discussing how hard it is to lie to Aaron and Felicity but they have to because it's the only thing keeping their mother alive. They have to keep them in the dark. Aaron and Felicity have appeared. Felicity has a donut for Mark. Aaron asks what Mark is doing? Mark introduces them to his patient, "Abigail Deveraux." Felicity thinks "Abigail" looks familiar. They brush this off. Mark will see them at home, the kids scoot away to feed ducks. "Abigail" is upset because she just saw her little brother and sister for the first time in years and they didn't recognize her because of her plastic surgery. She gets a call from Chad.

Hospital, Gabi's Room - Rafe reminds Gabi of Stefan's death and how happy their reunion had been. Gabi admits she slept with EJ because she was so angry. Rafe calls this action "completely insane" and isn't soothed by the news that she got the advice from a homicidal maniac. She had to get the image of them out of her mind somehow. Rafe keeps bringing up how EJ sent her to prison (while ignoring that Stefan did, too) and asks if her strategy worked. She admits it didn't. Rafe gets a call; Jada is here. Gabi knows Rafe cares about her even when he has to be harsh. Gabi has a home with him if she needs it. She knows.

Horton House - Chad calls "Abigail". He wants to see her.

Private Area - Mark looks at a picture of a young woman with a baby. He says, "Don't worry, Mom, we're going to save you." Aaron and Felicity return from feeding ducks, Mark explains he had to take a call. They talk about his patient who looked familiar.

Horton House - "Abigail" arrives and Chad lays it out, he's telling the kids that their mother is alive when they get home from Sweet Bits with Julie.

Hospital/Square - Rafe calls EJ and they snipe at each other (EJ is funny as per). Rafe warns EJ to stay away from his sister and out of her marriage. Rafe ends the call. In the Square, EJ says Stefan's marriage is doomed.

Hospital, Gabi's Room - Gabi is really reading that magazine now. Stefan arrives in his tan suit with flowers from the assistants at Gabi Chic. He met with his lawyer to file for divorce. END
 
The mini mystery around the Greene family is annoying. Since it is ever changing it seems we will just twist in the wind till May when things may potentially settle down.

Gabi and Stefan are annoying, just sit and talk to each other, come on. Not that I really am invested in your relationship at all, but Stefan's idea of EJ as the pillar of morality walking through town ringing a bell announcing that he slept with another man's wife would be worth watching.

Thanks Jason for the summary.
 
The sex conversations between Stefan and EJ are disgusting. With EJ bragging about having had sex with Gabi. Not even real people and they are embarrassing!! Felicity was the one with the brain today. Whatever her real name is, "Abby", doesn't even look like herself. As someone above said, maybe by May we will know what this is all about.
 
As I said elsewhere, maybe they are trying to "fix" story direction which originated from the fired guy...not easy ...which is why some things just not making sense. Plus, they were dealing with Drake's illness as well. (have read Eric came in and did some dialog ....I think with Tate, that was originally intended for John Black. Gonna be a while before things calm down...........perhaps Days realizes NOW, why filming 6-8 months ahead is NOT a good thing, they should not be more than 2-3 months ahead, truly. Right now, they have filmed all the way thru April!! That is asinine, and Corday knows it. He needs to slow down.........a lot.
 
Just knew the beginning with Gabi & Stefan was a dream, but dang, long dream.

So Aaron doesn't even mention a sister? What happened to her? And she had plastic surgery so she doesn't look like their sister? And if she had plastic surgery, why wasn't it to make her look like Abigail? This story just keeps getting crazier and crazier.

With Julie & Chad talking, I was absolutely expecting Thomas to walk in and say "Mommy's alive?" How is "Abigail" going to get out of this?

Gabi should listen to her brother. Her marriage can be saved if she wants it. I don't care Stefan said he filed for divorce. If Gabi wanted him back, he would go.
 
For sure........an overly long dream.......egads~ Listen......if Bobby Ewing (Dallas) can have a dream that wiped out a whole year of bad story, then EJ or Eric, or Steve, or Aaron or Gabi, or whoever in Salem can do the same. In fact, several of them can all have the same dream.......and think it soooooooo weird........and then remember they had just learned the evening before of John Black having passed away.

So, they break open a bottle of his favorite wine, that he saved for a special occasion, and they all toast and clink glasses......
 
EJ was the highlight today, but he usually is.

I just realized that thanks to the brilliant editors who lump all B&S BS together, I have not seen Leo since Xander's wedding day, and have only seen Alex once (watching Ted with Stephanie). That is almost 6 weeks without my two least favorite characters annoying me.

And naturally the two "stars" of the wretched soap I have not seen even once. So score!
 
Thanks, Jason.

I agree with rfsexton it was yawner since I have a cold.

The only thing that caught my eye was Rafe walking around with an IV even though he
was going home that day. You would think he was passed the IV stage at the hospital.

When Rafe was talking to EJ, I wondered if Rafe would throw EJ around the square again.

Mark and his sister need to figure out a different plan since Clyde isn't trustworthy.
 
but Stefan's idea of EJ as the pillar of morality walking through town ringing a bell announcing that he slept with another man's wife would be worth watching.
As DrBakerFan would say, watching that would be worth the price of admission.
Even better would be if TPTB would rent a horse for him to ride while doing this. That would really give the locals something to talk about.
 
It’s really too bad that EJ didn’t follow through with his defamation suit against Stefan Zero. Since damages in a defamation case are based on the injury to a person’s reputation done by a false statement, a person like EJ might win a jury award of about five cents. The expression on self-important Elvis’s face if this were to happen would be priceless.

So the explanation for the Greenes' involvement in the Fake Abigail hoax is that Clyde kidnapped their mother. This raises the question of where Mother Greene has been all this time. Is she too being held in an abandoned brewery or does Clyde have a rustic hotel deep in the Ozarks where he can stash his “guests?”

Finally, it was good to see Aaron again. It’s too bad that we didn’t learn how he did at lacrosse camp and whether he’s now in line for a scholarship at a top university. Since Tate and Holly are now kaput, it would be nice to know that something good came out of the scheme to keep the doomed lovers together for the summer.

Ok. so at least some of the Greene family stuff played out like I was knocking around before. The younger kids think the parents are dead. I think Aaron knows something is up though. He's not buying it at all. Took me a minute but I think Sis had plastic surgery not to look like herself. Whether someone in Salem would know her or maybe we even we know her. It's very odd he never uses her name and just says Sis. Also weird the younger kids didn't mention a sister and she made the weird comment about "their mom" and switched to "our."

I'm trying to figure out how she's not really a sister. Holy moly, I just thought maybe she's an undead Jordan. Or better yet maybe it's Gwen. Then they wouldn't have had to fake the DNA test. I think no matter who she is it will be someone that the people of Salem would have recognized for sure. Can't imagine they'd do plastic surgery just so the younger Greenes wouldn't know her.
 
So Aaron doesn't even mention a sister? What happened to her?
Well if she died or left before he had active memory, his statement about it just being him/Mark/Felicity makes sense since she's wherever she is.
