Square - Replay of Kate and Bonnie discussing the BS leak. This is a nightmare for the show. Bonnie talks about Hattie's curse and possibly sending poison to the show. Kate's going to talk to the police. Spoiling is not a crime.

DiMera Office Building Shot, Gabi's Office - Replay of Leo confronting Javi. Leo knows Javi did it. Javi claims he did not do it and in fact does not care. The laptop had to be the source because some of the leaked ideas only existed there, he hadn't told anyone. Leo thinks Javi's guilty and played him. Javi lays out the timeline (he's been in town two days) and says all that (Javi) actually did was fall for a jerk. Javi thought he hit the lottery, but he needs Leo gone or he'll call security. Leo tries to apologize, Javi stands firm, Leo slinks away.

Brady Pub Entrance - Gabi ends a business call as JJ walks up. He tells her Chad asked EJ to let Cat off the hook. They talk about the plan to turn her over to Clyde. JJ doesn't think Chad will comply. JJ thinks Cat might still be working for Clyde, perhaps. This has been hard on his parents and he's worried Steve will go rogue if he is in on the plan. (JJ is doing great in these scenes, tough but the sadness is coming through.) Gabi wants peace for the family even though it might be hard to believe. She also wants Weston to pay. She will help if he needs it. They thank each other and she leaves. JJ smiles.

Horton House - Cat is wearing a slumber party hairdo and a trenchcoat. She's pacing. Chad is pacing. They bicker as they wait for Clyde to call. Clyde calls. Chad tells him he doesn't care what he does to Cat, who has no idea as he looks at her. The call ends. They talk about how thick he laid on his hatred for Cat. (Focus on the pictures of Doug and Julie in the background, not this banal mess.) Clyde wants them to pretend to be married.

Commissioner's Office - Jada is at her desk. Rafe gave her his resignation. He slept on it and is more sure. Rafe isn't suing even though he probably could. He doesn't want to cause trouble for Paulina or Jada. Jada's a great commissioner. Rafe is disappointed but it's not a macho thing. That's the upshot (I like Rafe and Jada but this conversation lasts way too long). Jada offers him his job back.

Horton House - Cat and Chad wonder if they're walking into a trap. Cat suggests they send decoys, like maybe perhaps her brother, who would do anything to make up his transgression. Chad is against this. As they are discussing this, JJ comes in and learns of the decoy plan. JJ will be a decoy. JJ has an idea of someone who can play Mrs Chad DiMera.

Commissioner's Office - Paulina comes in and tells them about the cupcake fiasco. The cupcakes were sent to the actors/crew homes with a card. The blood work will reveal the toxin. Paulina learns Rafe quit. They need the best detective on this; Kate enters and lays out the case against Hattie. Paulina's ready to move, but Jada says they have to figure out if it was food poisoning or deliberate first. Paulina calls Kayla, then reports to Kate and Jada that it was poison but not enough to do permanent damage.

DiMera Offices - Javi has a flashback. (He and Leo talk about drinks - can't find the episode link.) Gabi enters. Javi says he and Leo are done. He deletes Leo's contact.

Square - Bonnie asks Leo what happened when he confronted the guy. Leo thinks he made a huge mistake. END
 
Good lord this slow roll on the Cat and Chad show is just painful. And with what they are promising for next week, JJ will either not have completed his assignment or will break cover to be with family.

Will JJ rejoin the police force? Or is he just in Salem for the next event we don't want to deal with but will have to???

I wish the poisoned cupcakes had taken out a few folks, like Alex. Too bad Paulina didn't eat hers, EJ, too bad Paulina destroyed his, but alas just enough poison to make folks sick and now days/months/years will we, oh never mind, I really don't care who did it or why.

Thanks Jason for bravely taking on the day.
 
Thank you, Jason! You had to create something from nothing much.

I now believe that Javi is sincere about his feelings for Leo. I never suspected him of being Lady W but had doubts about his motives, but after today, I think a cigar is just a cigar, as the saying goes. Leo rushed to judgment. I think that Javi might, eventually, put Leo back in his phone.

Who the heck is JJ considering for a fake Cat? Gabi is the only female he seems to have anything to do with who might fit the bill. He hardly knows Holly, and I don't think he would involve her. This plan has dangerous written all over it. Is Clyde buying what Chad is selling?

Too bad Rafe didn't tell Paulina, in a nice way, that she really breached protocol, or whatever you want to call it, by not letting Rafe return to his position. I thought there would be an argument between Paulina and Abe, but since he is so involved with the show and getting sick, looks like it never even came up.

I also thought about JJ rejoining the force.
 
Oooh, Chad you are tough. "About time, Weston!" I didn't think about it til JJ said it. Is Cat still working with Clyde? She sure wanted her brother out of jail.

I hope this will be the end of Jada & Rafe. She was quite annoying with him. Not a fan of their pairing.

I hope Hattie isn't behind cupcakes. Too obvious. Maybe Jada's sister is back?

I'm still hoping Gwen is new Lady Whistleblower.
 
Yawner of a show.
It sure was. I literally dozed off about halfway through. There really wasn’t anything to stay awake for — not the slow-rolling Clyde-Cat plot nor anything to do with B&S. As for Rafe, he’s being too much nice about his demotion. What Mayor Foghorn did was outrageous and the public deserves to know about it. If people did, the noisy mayor wouldn’t be able to go anywhere without catching serious flak.

It is too bad Paulina didn’t eat a cupcake. Anything to shut her up. As for her destroying EJ’s, it just shows how low the DiMeras have sunk. Would anyone have dared to do such a thing to the mighty Phoenix?
I want to press charges against the corrupt mayor.
Charges wouldn’t apply because a contract was breached. No law was broken. What I’d like to see is Rafe emulating Jack by starting an “I’m with Rafe” movement that seeks a recall election that would put Rafe in City Hall. The voters would come out in droves to support the popular former police commissioner. Even the raccoons would hop on the bandwagon. I’m with Rafe!!!
 
Thanks, Jason.

Did Leo save his stuff from his computer on the "cloud"? Could someone gotten into the "cloud" to get
stuff about the soap and his dream?

Is Hattie the cupcake poisoner? Joy didn't get a cupcake since she was hired after Hattie left.

Will JJ talk to Gabi to help out with Clyde? Will she wear a blond wig?

I enjoyed Javi's confession since it made Leo feel stupid.

Why was Paulina surprised Rafe quit? She should known he wasn't happy being demoted.
 
I appreciate this concise summary because this show felt like everything in it could have been done in one scene for each character group.

Hate to break it to the writers but I don't care about any conflict between Javi and Leo. They just met. I don't care that Leo doesn't trust Javi. I don't care that Javi is hurt by it. They could have done the who's the new Lady W story without this.

I didn't specify what the charges would be for. I'm sure that a mayor as corrupt as she is has broken several laws.

I said the same thing on BlueSky:

[Citation needed.] Has she been taking kickbacks? Awarding contracts to Price Town investors? Trading DiMera stock for city information? She's done some dumb things, but corrupt? Please explain.

I don't concede your point about Paulina's corruption, but Rafe has been a corrupt cop - protecting Hope, Sami, and Gabi from crimes, and even falsely implicating André in Stefano's murder. I didn't like any of those stories, per se, but they're there.

No Citation needed. This isn't Wikipedia and she isn't a real person, so we only know what has been revealed on the show. We also don't know that she hasn't done those things or worse.

There's no more of a citation or proof needed for this than there is for the people who believe that Javi is innocent of being the new Lady Whistleblower or for the people who think Hattie poisoned cupcakes.

Javi may be innocent and Hattie may be guilty, but we don't know. The opinion that Paulina is a corrupt city official and corrupt person in general is no different.

Paulina and Rafe can both be corrupt. Go ahead and hang them both (metaphorically).
