Gabi and Javi are eating lunch at Horton Town Square. Javi complains he only gets a sandwich. Gabi gives Javi a list of errands. One is an oil change that she has a punch card for. She explains after the divorce, lawyers and the investor for Gabi Chic failed her, and now she has to watch her money. She had plans to take her staff via first class to Dubai and talks about the menu. Javi's not paying attention since he's texting Leo.

Leo's outside the Brady Pub on a bench with his laptop. He's writing for the soap. His new character is Rodrigo. Joy comes out of pub. He calls her Regan. She tells him her name is Joy. She's shocked he knows her character. He tells her he's the head writer, Leo Stark. She looks at him and says she knows his name. Then says he ruined her parents' marriage.

New outside shot of hospital. Johnny's in a patient room looking at his ring. Flashback of Joy giving his ring back outside of the pub. Alex comes in and asks Johnny if he's ready? He says yes. Alex asks if he's ready for him to sleep with his wife?

Outside shot of police station. Chad is in the interrogation room when EJ brings in Cat. Cat is surprised to see Chad and says she doesn't know where Abby's body is. EJ explains he's dropping the charges against her.

Julie's coming downstairs with a tray that has a bowl on it. She yells upstairs to Doug that she'll bring him another bowl of soup. Doorbell rings. Julie opens it. It's JJ.

Javi lies to Gabi and says he's taking notes. Gabi finds out he lied on his resume that he was an assistant to someone else. Javi doesn't like being an errand boy. Gabi says he's more than that and gives him office things to do. He's typing on his phone, but it's another text to Leo in Spanish.

Leo doesn't understand what Joy is talking about. He looks at the text from Javi when his phone beeps. Leo asks Joy who are her parents? She says she's Joy Wesley and her dad Craig Wesley. Leo is shocked and didn't know her last name. Joy says Nancy was devastated when she found out her dad cheating. Leo is sorry and he's in therapy three or four times a week, says he didn't mean to be a home wrecker. Joy says she can't judge since she's a home wrecker too.

Alex explains to Johnny he meant his character sleeping with Chanel's character. Johnny says he knows what Alex meant and he needs to be more careful what he says. Johnny says he was an idiot accusing Chanel of doing something. Alex says he was an idiot with Stephanie doing it there. Alex wants be sure no WW3. Johnny says that won't happen; he says he's sorry he ruined things with Alex and Stephanie and sorry what he did to Chanel. Chanel walks into room.

Cat is shocked the charges are dropped. She wants to know why? EJ says Chad will let you know. EJ tells her he's disgusted what she did to Chad and Abigail's family. He takes off the handcuffs and tells her to enjoy the freedom she doesn't deserve, then leaves. Chad tells her he wanted her to rot in jail, but he can't.

Gabi hands an envelope to Javi; she wants him to take it to the courthouse before closing. She tells him it's her divorce papers. He asks if she's sure? She is. She tells him to get started. He leaves before finishing his lunch. (looks delicious). As Javi leaves, EJ walks behind Gabi.

Leo says to Joy, you're a home wrecker too, or are saying this as her character? Joy says she's talking about real life. Leo wants to know whose home she wrecked?

Chanel walks into the room and says she's sorry she's late. They had to put body makeup on her. Chanel says she's having a hard time doing the scene, but she's a professional. And she knows both of them will do the same. She reminds them it's make believe.

JJ and Julie are sitting on the couch in the living room. They discuss Chad's wedding, and she's happy JJ was there. Julie says the wedding wasn't valid. She's happy Cat and her brother are in jail. She knows Chad and EJ will make her stay there a long time. (ooops)

Chad tells Cat that Clyde escaped from jail and that he's talked to Clyde. Clyde will him where Abby's remains are if he turns Cat over to him.

Julie is happy JJ is there. He wants to know what happened to Abby's body and see his family. JJ is sad. He asks Julie how Doug is doing? JJ says Doug's one of his favorite people. Julie says not well today because he believed Abby was alive and has a bad cold. They talk about Doug's age, 98. Julie says every day is a blessing since he's still alive (tissue time).

Cat and Chad discuss why Clyde wants her. Cat says he wants revenge like he did with my mother. Chad says yes. Cat says he's throwing her to the lion. Chad says he needs to know what happened to Abby and it's the only way.

EJ talks to Gabi. She gets up from the table. EJ talks about the letter Stefan wrote to him. He says she's upset since Stefan wrote to him and not her. Gabi calls him a child. EJ wants an apologize since Gabi said the divorce is his fault. She yells it is.

Joy tells Leo to forget what she said. Leo explains to Joy he used to be a gossip columnist and this would be the best thing to write about. He explains he's in TV now. Leo goes on and on for her tell him. Javi walks up to them. Leo introduces them. Leo tries to explain why he didn't respond to his text. Joy leaves to go to the set.
 
On set in the hospital room, Johnny tells everyone to get in their places. Chanel (Faith) walks into the room where Alex (Arrow) is. She wonders if she's too late to see his mom? He explains about the plant to make a serum to save her. They hug. He goes on about the life we have is so short. They kiss. Johnny has a flashback of him kissing Joy in hotel room.

In the hospital bed, Alex and Chanel finish their love scene. Johnny yells cut and says the scene is very steamy. (thank goodness we don't see it). Alex leaves to get changed. Chanel says it wasn't so bad. Johnny agrees. Chanel says further love scenes won't be a problem now. Johnny says the scene was fine, but not what he did.

Javi says he got a vibe from Joy. Leo explains he slept with her father and destroyed her parents' marriage. Javi calls him bad boy in Spanish. Leo says he's more of a home wrecker and she told him she was too.

Joy arrives at nurses' hospital set and talks to Alex. Alex mentions she's going to be a thorn in Chanel's side.

Julie asks JJ if he brought his guitar and he can sing to Doug. JJ says he'll like that. He tells Julie that Doug gave him Grandma Alice's wedding ring when he proposed to Lani. He remembers Doug tried to gently warn him. JJ asks about Lani and Eli. Julie hopes they will visit soon with the twins. Julie asks JJ if he's involved with someone special? He says no. Julie hopes he'll find someone soon.

EJ and Gabi continue to discuss whose fault it was she got a divorce. <yawn> Gabi says he seduced her. EJ said she wanted it. Gabi says EJ should have know she wasn't in her right mind. She yells at him he should have stopped it.

Chad tells Cat he hates her and she had the power to stop it. She wished she did that. Chad says there's a part of him that wants Clyde to do his dirty work. If I was my brother, he probably would, but I'm not my brother. He's not handing her over for her death. Cat wants to know his plan.

JJ gets up from the couch and says he has errands to do. Julie says he just got there and where is his luggage? She tells him to stay with them instead of the Salem Inn. JJ agrees and he'll pick up dinner. Julie hopes he'll stay awhile. Julie says Chad will be glad to see him and wonders where he is?

Chad tells Cat he's using her as bait. He'll do his best to protect her, but he's not sure it will work. Cat agrees to do it and maybe she'll find her mother. She tries to ask for something. Chad figures out getting her brother out of jail. He says no. Cat asks if he can handle working together? Chad says if no, but he will do anything to get Abby back.

Joy asks how she was going to hurt Chanel? Alex says no. Chanel's character. Joy already knows she'll get hateful mail and posts. Alex talks about Stephanie and how they can't see each other now. Joy finally realizes he's Alex and her mom's best friend is Bonnie. She knows the whole story.

Chanel sits on the bed with Johnny and says she knows it's been hard on him to move past this. He thought she betrayed him when she didn't. She tells him to stop wallowing and get past it. He tries to say something. Then he has a flashback of kissing Joy again (what a guy). Johnny tells Chanel he wants to be the husband she wants him to be and he will make it up to her. He promises. They hug.

Leo thanks Javi for helping him with dialogue. Then they talk in Spanish. Then Leo talks about the man his mom met in Spain. blah, blah, blah. Javi calls him funny. Leo asks for more help. Javi explains has errands to do for Gabi. He explains he's her assistant and gets the I need a place to stay discount. Javi mentions filing her divorce papers and this broke her.

EJ says if it makes her feel better, blame him for her divorce. He ruined her marriage like she ruined his. Gabi says you admit you ruined my marriage? EJ says this is what I admit, that he enjoyed Stefan seeing their tryst. He told Stefan to get the divorce since he would never get those images out of his head. EJ takes credit for their divorce, but they deserved after all the things they did to him. EJ says he loved it and seeing her heart broken. Gabi slaps him. He laughs.

Leo says he's not interested about Gabi and how she feels. Javi needs to leave. Leo suggests a drink and dinner later. Javi says ok and leaves.

Chanel walks up to Alex at the nurses' station. Chanel thinks Johnny's ok with the love scene. She thinks he feels guilty about how he acted at the surprise party. Alex says he met Joy and he said something that upset her. He said she would be thorn in Chanel's side and she had the oddest reaction.

Joy finds Johnny in patient room set. Joy knows he taped the first love scene with Chanel and Alex. She asks how he is? Johnny wants to tell Chanel the truth about what they did.

Julie looks at pictures of her and Doug on the mantle. Chad comes in. Julie says they have a surprise guest, JJ. He's going to stay with us awhile. JJ is concerned how we're doing after what that evil woman did that us. Julie is glad she won't have to look at the succubus again. Before Chad can talk to her, Cat walks in.

EJ said he can an have an officer here in two minutes to arrest her for assaulting the DA. Gabi tries to slap him again to leave a mark. He grabs her hand. JJ comes up and tells EJ to let go of Gabi.
 
Is the outside shot of hospital different today since they're filming the soap opera in the hospital?

I think it's a new flashback where Johnny is kissing Joy in the hotel room.

It took me awhile to figure out the reason Javi is sending texts in Spanish, so he could help Leo
with the soap dialogue.
 
Well done, Kat.

Yes, it did look like Julie and JJ were emotional in real life, not just within their characters. We are slowly being led up to the time Doug passes. I just wish we would start seeing flashbacks as they reminisce now. That would be a nice way to underline the dialogue.

Javi still looks too scruffy to work for Gabi. Maybe Leo will style him. He needs a shave and more professional work clothes, even if he is running errands.

Be careful what you wish for. So now we are seeing flashbacks to the night Johnny strayed with Joy. If he confesses to Chanel, that might be it for them. Not just because he strayed, but because he didn't confess sooner.

Can't fault EJ for telling the truth about Gabi. It is too obvious that she and JJ might get together. If JJ sticks around, maybe he and Joy will cross paths?

At least Chad told Cat that she was, indeed, bait. Will his plan work?
 
They talk about Doug's age, 98. Julie says every day is a blessing since he's still alive (tissue time).
I can't imagine writing a line like this for the actor's WIDOW to have to say on-camera. Literally any other character could have said this.

I always liked JJ and Gabi, but I also liked JJ and Lani. And JJ and Paige. And I wasn't entirely disgusted by JJ and Eve. Poor kid. I hope his luck turns around.
 
Agree, Jason, about having Julie say that line. Bill Hayes (Doug) died in January, and this had to be filmed in March or April........Just too soon to have Julie saying that line.......Yes, probably their way of leading up to Doug's passing, but yes any other character could have had the line.
 
Poor Leo —he needs to move to a city with more gay men. If he did, he wouldn’t have to settle for scruffy Javier who needs significant work before he’d make a suitable partner for Leo.

After all the underhanded things Gabba-Gabba has done, it’s hard to work up any sympathy for her because of EJ’s schemes. These two deserve each other.

Finally, Chad should forget any amateur scheming against creepy Clyde. He didn’t spend enough time around the Phoenix to pull off such plans. Bringing down Squirrel Stew should be left to professionals.
 
Thanks kat. I caught this in bits and pieces today as I did everything else. Yes, Chanel, body makeup is a thing. And a thing that Days doesn't use much of as we see most of the actors' tattoos.

Chad going up against Clyde round 7 gazillion should be amazing and thrilling. :sarcasm:
