Lucas comes to see Adrian through another round of chemo; Justin shows up too.  Again, they stick her with the decision of which one of them to pick as neither of them are willing to just leave. (I say Lucas was there first, he should be able to stay with her – I don’t know why she let’s Justin get to her so.)  Kate comes and saves the day; she tells both the men to get lost and goes in with Adrian, herself.  Kate jokes that her son and Justin are like two puppies; Adrian breaks out in laughter and says she is glad Kate is there.  When she steps out the door, she sees Justin and Lucas shaking hands; they have decided to try to get along, for Adrian’s sake.  Kate takes Adrian home; Adrian tells her that she has decided to let Lucas and Justin alternate going with her to chemo.  She tells Kate, however, when it comes time for the surgery, she wants HER there.  Kate says she’ll be there.  

Jennifer is excited when JJ tells her that Abigail is at Chad’s, he has seen her and they are talking.  She claps her hands, jumps up and down and then hugs him, saying it’s so great that Abigail has her family back.  JJ does not mention anything about Gabi.  Jennifer decides to go see Abigail.  Gabi tells her brother, Dario, that there was no need for her to tell Chad about Abigail because he already knew; she says Abby was there, and still is… (this is several days after Christmas now).  Dario assumes they are back together then; Gabi says she doesn’t know.  She carries on about how wrong it was of Abigail to let her husband think she was dead, but assures her brother that nothing further will happen between her and Chad, since he is still married.  He doesn’t believe her; he says he is tired of seeing her get hurt by men who don’t deserve her.  After Dario leaves, JJ approaches Gabi; he asks to sit down.  She allows it and he proceeds to tell her that he believes his sister and Chad are going to work things out.  She asks why he feels the need to tell her that; he says because he hopes that she can get over him.  He claims he doesn’t want to see her get hurt, because he already hurt her – he tells her he still loves her.  

Abigail comes the room where Chad is; she tells him she put Thomas down for his nap, and found an old playlist of their favorite songs.  She puts it on, asking if he would dance with her.  She has to pull him to his feet, but he does dance with her; he holds her, she tries to kiss him, he refuses… he tells her he is sorry, but he can’t.  She tells him it’s important for them to remember what they had, to try to get it back; she says she went online and bought stuff for New Year’s – champagne and party hats.  Chad breaks momentarily and laughs, saying champagne and party hats will not fix what’s wrong.  Abby asks why not.  Lol.  She wants to just go forward, like nothing happened and he tells her he just cannot do that.  She tells him that she thought about what he said all night long; that he didn’t know “how long” it was going to take for him to get over being mad at her.  She is glad he didn’t say “if.”  She says she is ready to tell him the entire truth and she tries to explain her thinking at the time, her fear of not being good enough for him, and does her best to convince him that it’s all in the past and she would never want to go anywhere again.  He almost looks like he wants to kiss her, but then gets angry again, telling her he doesn’t know what he is going to feel, or when.  She asks how he feels now – and if he is still in love with Gabi.  

Jennifer shows up; Abby says she needs to go out for some air.  Jennifer asks Chad why he is pushing Abigail away.  He says he’s not, but she broke his trust; she reminds him what Ben did to her mind.  She defends all of their actions, saying they could have lost Abigail forever; he’s afraid that could still happen.  He doesn’t want to make a promise to her that he can’t deliver now.  Abigail wanders over to her memorial statue; she sits down on the bench when she starts to experience symptoms of a panic attack.  Jennifer leaves; Chad looks at the gift that Gabi gave him.  Abigail has memories of Chad and Gabi kissing and begins to hyperventilate.  Gabi finds her panicing and offers help.  Kate is upset that Steffano lied to her again; she says she should be used to it though, as this is the fourth time he’s died and come back to life?  Dario and Eduardo talk about business; Dario asks how Kate is going to feel after all this.  Eduardo says he believes she will be fine; business is business.
