JJ opens the door and makes Gabi close her eyes; he leads her in and reveals a beautiful fancy dinner table set up in the room.  She kisses him.  He asks what Sonny said when she dropped Ari off; Gabi tells him that she left Arianna with Chad instead of taking her to Sonny’s.  She also says that Chad is happy for them; JJ says he’s glad he came around to that.  Gabi questions “came around”?  JJ tells her that Chad was telling him earlier that she deserved much better than him; he wasn’t happy about it then.  JJ says he needs to ask her a question about Chad… he says he’s wondering how he’s getting through the holidays; he asks if he’s looking for someone else.  She says she didn’t come there to talk about Chad, and climbs on top of him, sitting on the bed.  

Kate discusses business with Chad and gets no response, so she says something snide; he remarks, so she knows he could hear her.  She asks what he’s thinking about; Gabi, he tells her.  He has realized he had feelings for her and now she’s back with JJ.  She says he probably dogged the bullet with that one.  JJ and Gabi begin to undress, getting ready to make love; he has flashbacks of his infidelity – he sits up suddenly.  She asks him what’s wrong and because he promised to be completely honest with her, he tells her why.  She asks if he remembers who it was.  He doesn’t, and he says he doesn’t want to know; it’s behind them and he loves her.  She tells him to prove it; he starts kissing her again.

Rafe and Shawn come to talk to Chad about his father; they ask if there is anything about the night he died that he might not have mentioned before.  Chad tells him he will think about it for a few minutes and then let them know; Chad comes back downstairs and gives them a receipt from that night.  They thank him for his time and leave.  They are going through all of Steffano’s emails to find something they can use to get Hope out of prison.  

Justin and Lucas are still arguing, yelling and threatening to punch each other; Marlena comes in to tell her that she needs to give them some information.  Kayla says she just wants to wait on the test results; she’s concerned and doesn’t want to worry them.  Marlena inquires why; Kayla tells her Adrian cancelled her last mammogram.  Marlena says they’ll just have to hope for the best.  Kayla is brought out in a wheelchair to go for the rest of her tests.  Marlena talks to Adrian and asks why she is having such a hard time revealing her decision to these guys; she says she made her decision, but now she’s confused again.  She tells Marlena that she doesn’t know how to plan for the rest of her life when her body is betraying her; Marlena says she may have lost the ability to make a decision when she learned of her cancer.  Kayla returns to give Adrian her test results and finds her room empty; no one saw her leaving.
