12-30-2016 (Friday) HAPPY NEW YEAR'S SALEM!

Andre is about to pour himself some champagne in a booth, where he sits by himself; he invites Chad to join him for the New Year.  Chad sits down, but before they toast, Chad says he’s still trying to decide whether or not he is going to kill Andre for letting him think his wife was dead.  He reminds him, not only did he let him think his wife was dead, he took advantage of his weakness, lied about his business, lied about his family, and kept a secret microchip program from him… he asks why he should ever believe him again.  Andre replies to this by telling Chad their father may still be alive.  He swears he had nothing to do with this, however, having just found out today when the Brady’s dug up the grave; the poor soul in there, he says, was not their father.  

Andre questions how his reunion with Abigail is going; Chad says it isn’t his business.  He argues it is, tells him to get over his anger and move on with their lives; Chad tells him he doesn’t want advice from him on his marriage.  Andre says, if their father is alive, he and Thomas are going to need Abigail more than ever.   Gabi sits Abigail back down on the bench; Abby snaps out of it when Gabi says she is going to call Chad.  She says she isn’t going to have her husband feel like he has to walk on eggshells around her; she says she is strong and won’t just fall apart when things get tough.  Gabi asks what triggered this episode; Abigail says, thinking about Chad and what she did and how she pushed her husband right into Gabi’s arms.  She asks Gabi to tell her how it started with her and Chad; she complies, adding that, thinking she was dead, Chad was just going through the motions of living.  She tells her about the business dinner; Chad making her feel smart and capable… then what JJ did and Chad making her feel worth more than that.  Abigail realizes that Gabi really loves Chad and tells her so.  She asks if she is going to stand in the way of her getting her husband and family back.  Gabi says whatever was going on with her and Chad doesn’t compare to what she and Chad have.  Just then, Chad calls Gabi’s phone… Abby sneaks off.  

Kate is on the phone; she says she learned from her other source that Eduardo Hernandez is involved in the theft of the microchips from the DeMiras…she says she thought she knew him.  She says they better not be wrong and hangs up; she goes back to the table and gets her sweater – she tells Eduardo that she has business to attend to.  He can’t believe she’s blowing him off on New Year’s Eve; she kisses him gently and says they are good,… they are solid.  Kate joins Andre in his booth at the club; she tells him there are other ways to retrieve these microchips.  He insinuates that he might do something awful to Eduardo if she doesn’t agree to get the microchips for them.  Kate goes back to see Eduardo, who is just telling Gabi goodbye as she goes off to the club, as he agreed to watch Ariana.  She tells him that she wanted to be with him at midnight so she hurried; they dance for a moment to the music softly playing and then they kiss.  

Sonny tells JJ that he heard the good news, adding Chad must be real excited.  Sonny tells him he’d have to ask Chad that; his tone of voice says he doesn’t think so.  He mentions Chad having moved on; Sonny says, ah, they weren’t serious.  JJ is stunned to learn that Sonny knew about Chad and Gabi.  JJ says he can’t blame Chad because he was lonely, Gabi is awesome and was hurting…  he gets it.  He tells Sonny he is going to win Gabi’s heart back, filling him in on his infidelity in Miami.  Sonny tells him that Gabi is going to be at Club TBD by midnight; Sonny says, “let’s go.”  

Abigail goes back to the mansion, gets in a pretty dress and waits by the fireplace with a glass of champagne for Chad.  He comes in just before midnight.  She tells him she is looking forward to starting the new year off with him; they toast and drink their champagne.  She puts her glass down after he sits his down; she reaches up again to kiss him and this time he responds in like.  

JJ sees Lani at the club; she is surprisingly cold to him again.  He doesn’t understand why.  He tells Paul that’s like the third time she’s acted that way; Paul suggests he go ask her straight out what’s wrong.  So he does; Lani responds with astonishment, that he would even ask what he did, after “what happened in Miami.”  He still doesn’t catch on; she asks him if he seriously just conveniently forgot that they had sex in Miami.  JJ is apparently bewildered.  She pulls up a picture on her phone of them in bed together, taking a selfie; Gabi walks into the club and sees them looking at the picture.  She can’t believe this is who he slept with in Miami.  Paul’s date takes him by the hand and walks him over the counter where Sonny is sitting; he tells him that he is going to gracefully bow out – he says it is obvious that Paul still has feelings for Sonny and it appears that Sonny still has feelings for him to.  He says, he is done fighting this; maybe they should be too.  When the bells and whistles go off at midnight, Sonny stands up and pulls Paul to him; they kiss.
