11-22-2016 (Wednesday) HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Abigail starts to walk toward Chad, but sees Gabi approach him; he tells her he needs to talk to her and sits her down at a table.  Abigail runs off.  Andre follows her; she says she saw his face when he saw Gabi and he is falling in love with her.  She says she has known him for years, and she knows that look.  There is no chance now, she says.  Andre tells her if Chad is attracted to Gabi it’s only because he thinks she is dead; she is the love of his life.  And even if it doesn’t work out with Chad, he asks, “doesn’t your son have a right to grow up with his mother?”  He tells her she needs to reclaim her life.  

Gabi tells Chad she thinks she is going to give JJ another chance.  She says he got to her at the station after she overheard him talking to Rafe; besides, its best they just stay friends she says.  She asks him to assure her that they are still friends; Chad says sure they are, but if JJ hurts her again, he says, JJ will have to deal with him.  He asks if she is going to keep working for him; she says she would like to, now that everything is cleared up.  She thanks him for being understanding and gives him a half-hearted shoulder hug.  He is frustrated as she walks away, you can tell.  

Paul talks to Steve about Eduardo Hernandez; says he didn’t want to investigate him by himself and doesn’t want his dad to know because they go way back.  He thinks it’s interesting that he’s not telling Diemos Kariakis what he's shipping; Steve says it’s definitely a red flag…  or proof that he’s on the up and up, Paul says.  Paul brings Sonny supplies for the night, since he may be there all night long; he brought snacks and a blanket.  Paul tells Sonny that he thinks what he’s doing is great; weird, but great he says.  He says he has to get back to work, just wanted to let him know he was thinking of him.  He and Steve go to the docks, Steve distracts some guy with a homeless guy act, while Paul steals of box off a stack of boxes.  They congratulate each other as they figure out how to open the box; Steve just happens to have a crowbar.  It’s just a designer handbag knockoff; Paul detects the imperfections.  Steve wonders why they would be smuggling in cheap fake purses, unless they were selling them for the designer brand price and claiming they are real… 

Theo tells his dad that Valerie was lying to someone on the phone.  She admits, she was; she says it was her supervisor.  She lied because she cancelled a speaking engagement to stay there and keep an eye on Abe, and didn’t want her boss to know.  She apologizes.  Abe chews Theo out for being suspicious and tells him he better start treating her nicer from now on.  Abe asks Valerie about her life in D.C.; she says she works a lot of hours but it is very rewarding.  She asks him how he got to be Mayor; he says he was Police Commissioner, and the job came up so he just went for it.  He apologizes for Theo’s behavior earlier; she says he was just sticking up for his dad.  She tells him she has a son; he asks about the dad.  Has never really been in the picture, she says.  

Ciara and Claire talk; they are concerned about Theo.  They find him in the waiting room; Clair agrees with Theo that something fishy is up with that doctor; she’s hiding something, Claire says.  Ciara tells Theo that he should just trust his dad; he’s smart, she says.  Claire insists they need to go online and try to find as much dirt as they can on Valerie.  Claire’s dad shows up; Ciara asks Shaun if he has seen her mother.  He says no but he is going to.  Shaun asks to talk to Claire alone, and tells her to stay out of Theo’s business from now on.  Ciara tells Theo that he should back off the doctor; she says this is all just fun and games to Claire, but he could really mess things up with his dad.  Theo insists he’s not letting Claire talk him into anything; he can make up his own mind.

Chad shows up with a sandwich and offers to share it with Sonny; he asks why he’s sitting outside of the hotel door.  Sonny tells him; then he asks what Chad’s problem is.  He tells him about Gabi and that she is going back to JJ.  He says he has to sit back and support them being together; he asks about he and Paul.  He tells him he just wants to be friends; Chad says they are in the same boat.  Andre gives Abigail an untraceable phone and tells her to call him if she needs anything; he asks if she is staying in Salem.  For now, she says, for her mother’s sake, she has to.  She sneaks back into the house, and notices a present wrapped on the table, to Thomas, from her mother; she says to herself, “maybe I do need to be with Thomas.”
