Jen comes back and tells Drew she was
not able to get into the mansion to get a Titan laptop; then she tells Drew
about the kidnapping of Chad and Gabi.
Drew inquires if her son can’t get in, since he is a detective. Jen thinks for a minute and decides, yes…JJ,
she says, would do anything for Gabi.
But when she goes to the police station, she overhears Roman telling JJ
that he has to be careful not to let his personal feelings get in the way; he
reminds him of his duty as a police officer. Roman puts his arm around JJ and tells him not to let
anything stop him from being a good detective; conflicts come up all the time…he
mentions all his connections in town and says he knows how tempting it can be
to want to help people you love; he insists, JJ must stay impartial in this
investigation. Jen turns around and
starts to leave; JJ sees her and calls her back. He asks her what she needs; she tells him about Chad n Gabi being
taken, but not about ‘the key.’
Eric brings Hope a laptop; she asks about a picture of
Jennifer she found. He says there are
still things she doesn’t know; he tells Hope that he and Jennifer were together
for a while, but came together for all the wrong reasons. He says she is a great person and deserves
so much more. He tells her Jen is doing
well; owns newspaper…she made it through.
Hope finds a snapshot, from security camera, of Andre going to meet
Hattie; she says gotcha. Eric says
maybe not. Abe asks Valerie if she is,
in fact, seeing someone else; she acts surprised and says she was talking to
her son, Elli. He inquires why she
didn’t tell Theo; Valerie says he wouldn’t have heard her at the time anyway,
and besides, it was none of his business.
Abe apologizes, saying it wasn’t his business either; they sit down to
eat. Abe tells Valerie that he hopes
she is going to stay in Salem, admitting that his feelings have grown – adding
he hasn’t felt that way since his wife died.
Val admits her feelings have grown as well, but says she thinks she
should go back home now; he asks why, she says she and her son are so close –
it’s been just them for so long. She says
she cannot leave him; Abe asks if he couldn’t move there. She snaps, “no”…then apologizes. She said,
she always knew this day would come; that there were risks. He questions what she means.
Steve talks to
Shane as he finishes peeling off his rubber Steffano mask; Steve says anyone
would have believed he was Steffano.
Shane says he couldn’t wait to get it off… they laugh and say the
fingerprints and DNA samples they sent back to Salem worked like a charm. Steve says he hated that all he could do was
feel sorry for Hope and watch her go off to prison. Shane recalls a prior conversation and says he should have worked
harder to keep an eye on her, and Bo; he wants to help now any way he can –
couldn’t stand that Steffano knew he only had weeks to live and goaded her into
shooting him. They talk about how they pulled Steffano’s body out of the grave
and planted another corpse in it’s place, planted Steffano’s DNA in Prague, and
transferred funds from DeMira Enterprises… so it could be found, but not traced…
classic Steffano. Shane says he was
glad to be able to fool Agent Resnick at the Arms dealer’s meeting, after
Hope’s appeal was turned down. That was
hardest part, he says; Steve says he hated keeping Rafe and Kayla in the dark
on this. Anna complicated things, they
admit; good thing she was such a lousy shot, Steve laughs. They both say, at least now, Hope can get on
with her life. Going through pictures
on tablet, they see one of Steffano feeding the pigeons; Shane says it’s not
him…he didn’t go to that park and he sure as hell didn’t feed any pigeons. Steve reminds him that they dumped his body
in the grave themselves; this guy just looks like Steffano, he insists. Shane mockingly says he believes that too.
JJ
tells Roman about the Orwell technology the three families are fighting over;
Hernandez, had it first, he says, then DeMira took it and Kariakis stole it
from them, he explains. Jen calls Adrian and asks Adrian
to meet her at the Salem Inn. There, she
introduces her to Drew; she tells her, he is ‘the key.’ She fills Adrian in on the background story
and tells her that this has to remain a secret – nobody can know Drew is the
key. Adrian jumps up saying she has to
stop “her” just as Anne comes through the door. She introduces herself to Drew and asks who he is.
