Open:
Ben and Ciara wake up in a tent in the woods. Canoodling ensues.

In the Horton house living room, Gwen reads the alarmingly nasty Spectator editorial about Xander's release from jail. She confronts Jack about the story when he walks in.

At the Salem Inn, Xander wakes up, remembering sex with Gwen. EJ knocks on the hotel door. He wants his money.

Steve walks into the living room at home dressed up for the wedding. Kayla is lying on the couch, ill from doing shots at the bachelorette party. She remarks that Bonnie was as excited as she expected.

At K-mansion, Bonnie wakes up in Justin's arms. He says see, it's not bad luck to see each other the day of the wedding. (Isn't it way too early to claim that's true--even if they weren't in Salem?) Calista busts into their bedroom and declares there won't be a wedding unless he wants to marry a murderer.

(hourglass)

Gwen and Jack bicker about Xander's reputation being ruined. Why would she defend Xander? Flashback to Xander's explaining why he confessed. She repeats her sympathy for his desperation. They argue. Jack demands the truth about her and Xander.

Xander demands to get his job back first before returning the money. EJ agrees to give him a contract today and leaves.

Calista screams about Bonnie murdering her husband and pulls the gun out of her purse, saying it has Bonnie's fingerprints on it. (There's no way that gun still has usable prints when it's wrapped in cloth and she keeps pulling it in and out of her purse.) Justin is shocked that Bonnie is a killer and calls off the wedding. Then, Bonnie wakes up. Everything is fine. Calista then busts into their room for real with a present that used to belong to Harrison Lord. It's the blue hankie she's had wrapped around the gun. No one tells Calista to get out, and Justin goes down to breakfast. Calista demands Bonnie steal the money from Xander.

Steve takes care of hungover Kayla as they discuss the upcoming wedding. Bonnie is bothered, but all she would say is it had to do with Calista Lockhart. Kayla explains Calista. Steve jokes about the name and asks if she's married to Harrison Ford. Repeat joke about Harrison Lord. More wondering about Bonnie. Steve leaves to help Justin. Kayla is going to wait for Bonnie to come over.

EJ arrives at Basic Black. Nicole brings up the unflattering piece in the paper. He'd rather be feared than respected. Then, he asks Nicole to rehire Xander and tries to hand her a contract, and she responds over her dead body. Her contract says the executives at Basic Black have autonomy on personnel decisions. Neither she nor Brady will hire Xander. EJ smirks, then tells her about the money he's getting back from Xander and why. Nicole asks EJ if would ever work with Lucas. EJ says it's not the same thing. She doesn't care because she won't work with him. EJ says he'll fire her. It's the second time EJ has threatened to fire Nicole, and she's not happy. More arguing. EJ thinks Nicole can make Xander quit. Nicole wants to bet a million bucks. He laughs. Nicole takes the papers. (I don't know why EJ can't hire Xander in some other part of the company.)

Calista repeats the story about seeing Xander with the money. (So much repetition today.) Bonnie doesn't want to go back to prison. They argue. Calista repeats the threat.

Ben and Ciara read romantic Shakespearean sonnets together. (Sonnet 29, I looked it up.) Smooching turns to sex. Later, they roll over again and kiss. They talk about New Orleans. More kissing. Then, they eat breakfast. Ciara is out of birth control pills. Ben thinks they can stop at a pharmacy along the way, but Ciara thinks now's a great time to make a baby (since she stopped hating him 10 minutes ago).

Justin walks in, and Calista is full of stupidity and mimosas. He's surprised she's here since Bonnie's never mentioned her before. (Aren't we all, Justin.) He then wonders where his fiancee is. Calista said she had an errand, then keeps swallowing buckets of mimosas. They talk about starting over after losing a spouse and about criminals being brought to justice. They see Bonnie's makeup bag. Justin suggests she take it to Bonnie at Kayla's. She's too tired and drunk, she says. So Justin leaves with it.

Bonnie shows up at the hotel and invites Xander to the wedding. He thinks that's weird and wants to know what he's missing. He's suspicious and feels awkward, but Bonnie insists. He agrees. She leaves and swipes his hotel key from the desk. Bonnie returns to the hotel room when Xander's in the shower and moves the money to her satchel. EJ shows back up at the hotel, knocking.

Gwen keeps going about Jack forgiving Xander. They repeat the same argument. Jack vows to keep digging until Xander is in jail. Gwen says he should be afraid of EJ. None of her arguments work so she confesses that she's the one who's guilty. She tells him the story about Xander stepping in to defend her, trying to get her out of the drug dealing, and how Snyder dropped dead, skipping over the part about the miscarriage blackmail. Jack doesn't understand why Gwen would be drug dealing. She finally explains about Snyder was blackmailing her (but not why) and insists Xander was trying to protect her relationship with Jack. Jack asks what Snyder was holding over her and she blinks at him. (The last two minutes of this argument is the only thing worth watching today.)

Steve gets to the mansion. Calista is there with her feet up, eating croissants and downing more drinks. She makes eyes at him, and he flashes a grimacing grin. (It is gross.)

Justin gets to Kayla's with the bag, but of course, Bonnie isn't there.

Back at the hotel, EJ keeps knocking and yelling. Xander yells back that he's coming. Bonnie panics. THE END

So they didn't even show Bonnie's bachelorette party? Dumb.

And that was quite the long drawn dream sequence.

And isn't it bad luck to sleep with the bride the night before the wedding?

Steve made me laugh not believing the names Calista Lockhart and Harrison Lord. What's their kids name Ally McSolo. :rotfl:
 
The more I think about it, the dumber this Bonnie plot gets. All Bonnie has to do is deny that she's seen the gun before and say, "Well, she had it in my house for days. I touched it because it was in her purse and she was accusing me of things. I just wanted to look at it. Oops." Assuming her prints are still on it after all this time. So dumb. The chain of custody with that thing is all cloudy. Who knows where Calista got it? I'd say, "She killed her husband and is trying to pin it on me. She's the one with the gun."
 
Bonnie stuffs all that money into her bag, instead of just grabbing the suitcase...o.k. but now where does she hide? Xander is in the shower, EJ at the door, ...well, closet or else under the bed. LOL.
 
Calista is insinuating that Bonnie got off.......yet she supposedly has the gun which would prove Bonnie shot the guy. So...did he attack Bonnie, she was defending, was arrested but got off? Just weird. Of course, they have to be cryptic & not explain fully. Gad, I hate this story.
 
You're right. She's saying she got off. I keep forgetting. All the more reason to just say, "I have no idea what this woman is talking about. She's crazy." Then, point at her, drunk on mimosas and screeching. "I think she needs help."

Maybe EJ will make himself useful and off Calista and put Bonnie in a coma, and she can wake up and be Adrienne.
 
I actually liked EJ and Xander. The 2 actors are good together. But the plot is just silly. And I agree, why doesn't EJ just offer Xander a better job than Basic Black and get his money back?

I have no idea why Calista is on the show. She's annoying.

I want more substance with Ciara and Ben. There are so many possibilities.

I wish Steve and Kayla were more than supportive players.

Gwen needs to tell Jack what she did and move on. If they can undo the Lani's paternity, they could do the same for Gwen and Jack.


Thank you for the recap. :)

And there goes TinaY bravely trying to put logic in a Re-Ron stupid plot line.... for all we know Bonnie is the one who shot Deimos.....

:love::love::love::love::love::love::love:

from your keyboard to the soap gods...
 
Okay so I just watched the show.... FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING GOOD ON EARTH please stop giving Ben and Ciara Shakespeare they simply aren't up to the job...... They also have the worlds largest tent for two people.... and they have no story but sleeping together.... More than anything I'd like to have a child with a man who is mentally ill... I mean lets not go get some 2nd opinion on what his medication might do or his genetic past could bring to a child....because while living in Salem legs regrow, eyes regenerate..... scars are a thing of the 20th century.....
 
Thanks, Tina

Steve was funny was he was talking about Harrison Ford and his wife Calista Flockhart because
of Harrison Lord and Calista Lockhart.

Gwen told Jack the truth about her and Dr. Snyder. Then Jack wants to know why she did? Then
Jack's mind wandered during the commercial break and thought Gwen was lying for some
reason. Will Gwen tell Jack the whole truth about her miscarriage?

I wondered if Bonnie would fit under the bed with the big bag of money since EJ is knocking
on the door.

And it shouldn't take Xander long to figure out where his money went.
 
since she stopped hating him 10 minutes ago
Also she has no job, he's barely employed, and again, what you said & what robin said. I wouldn't mind if these two psychos left town together and never returned.

Ron trolling the audience again with Steve making fun of character names. ANNOYING.

So either Bonnie's an idiot or guilty. Either way, end this. Also, I used to like Justin, but he serves no actual purpose.
 
Can we please just send Bonnie to prison, have Calista ran over by a bus, and have Justin go live in Phoenix with his sons? And please do it sooner rather than later, like in the next few weeks. It would be a way to wrap this useless story up. I love Justin, but he no longer serves any purpose in Salem except as the occassional lawyer various Salem residents use, ane we have Belle and now EJ to serve that purpose. Bonnie has been around longer than she should have, and I can't stand that Calista character.
 
I know there’s a lot of competition, but Calista has to be in the running for worst character ever! I can’t find one redeeming thing about her. I can’t even figure out what purpose she is supposed to serve. Is this the best angst they can come up with for Justin and Bonnie? Why do they even need angst? They haven’t been on the show in months, so why do this story now?
 
I would swear that when we were getting Ron Carlivati as a writer it was suppose to be best thing ever. That he was awesome. Am I remembering that wrong?
 
Legal Stuff: For once in his useless life, EJ is right about something. Angry Jack's hatchet job on Xander provides the X-Man with a cause of action for libel: his statements about Xander were false and they harmed what's left of his reputation. Considering Xander's low repute in Salem, he might not win a big damages award, but Jack would still have the aggravation of being involved in a lawsuit and could run up legal costs. To make things worse, all the dirt he dished on EJ has never been proven in a court of law, which would give Elvis the opportunity to file a libel suit of his own. Jack better learn to start using the word "alleged' when he trashes Salemites, otherwise he might be calling Jenny to say that the paper is going bankrupt because of its large legal costs.
 
I finally watched this episode today. Didn't take too long. I'm finished with Ben and Ciara until and unless they find something else for them to do. Also not watching Calista, although I allow as how her scenes might become tolerable with Steve in them, only because of him, not her. I liked his initial response to her.

I did have a laugh with what little I saw of Ben and Ciara though. For some reason the sound and the lip movement on Days has been out of sync for me for a while now. So today when those two kissed, they had already finished the kiss and pulled apart completely from it by the time it made that smacking sound that goes with most of the kisses these days. It looked and sounded funny!
