04-20-2017 (Thursday) From Brother to Brother

Jade can’t believe Joey told her to move out; she tries to talk him out of it by bringing up the sonogram.  She says he loved her, he was ready to spend his life with her… he says but then there was no baby, and his feelings changed.  Hope calls Kayla; she says Tripp told her he didn’t want anything to do with Steve, and she didn’t want to make him stay in jail for the night.  

Kayla goes in to talk to Tripp; he makes a comment about the grumpy guy he tried to punch being a “total tool” and Kayla tells him that tool would be her brother.  He apologizes; he says he must be crazy, like his mother.  Kayla ends up making him realize that she understands, and actually cares; he says he doesn’t understand why she cares.  She tells him, she’s a pretty good judge of character and she thinks he’s a pretty good guy.  She says the second Steve found out he was out there, he tried to find him, and she asks him not to leave town.  Julie comes in to talk to Hope; she tells her Gabi is after Eli and she wants Hop e’s support in stopping the relationship.  She can’t imagine if a romance develops, then goes wrong; she says Gabi is liable to shoot him like she did Nick.  She says Eli is all she has left of David and Gabi is bad news; she says she has to put a stop to it.  Hope tells her to butt out; Julie is offended and says she won’t bother Hope again.  

Hope tells Rafe what happened with Tripp; he says if anyone can get through to him, it’s Kayla.Tripp goes home and tells Joey what happened; Joey offers to make him a club soda to settle his stomach.  Tripp thanks Joey for being so “chill” about all this; he says he guesses they should get to know each other.  They both say they’ve always wanted a brother.  Tripp tells Joey he is going to stay in Salem and he’s going to start looking for his own place tomorrow; Joey tells him the placed next door is for rent.  Jade comes out and tells Tripp that Joey told her she had to move out; he tells her if he gets a place, she can move in with him.  She hugs him. 

Eli finds Gabi sitting in the square; he says she looks like she could use some cheering up.  They go get ice cream and then take a walk; Eli gets a phone call and walks away for a moment.  Gabi sits down on a bench; Julie happens to come by and starts talking shit to Gabi.  Gabi stands up for herself and starts (slightly) yelling at Julie; when Eli comes back, she immediately grabs her chest and says she is having a heart attack. Valerie comes in to take care of Julie; she’s annoyed that Valerie is her doctor, but consents to treatment.  Valerie runs tests and finds that she did not have a heart attack.  She suggests maybe it was a panic attack, or she forgot to take her medication; Julie apologizes to Eli.  Valerie says she wants to keep her overnight for observation; she is going to get to the bottom of this.  Gabi realizes Julie faked it.

Steve goes to visit his sister; she tells him she is taking a trip to Scottsdale, to go “glamping” with the boys.  She says she is looking forward to some wonderful downtime with her sons; she asks what’s going on with him.  He tells her that the son he had with Ava is alive and here in Salem; he says he thinks he has messed things up with him.  She says to give him time, and not to give up on him; she mentions Joey and how nice it would be for him to have a brother.  Steve’s face shows concern; she asks if there’s any reason for them to be at each other’s throat.  He doesn’t answer.

Kayla, Steve, Rafe and Hope have dinner at the Pub; Steve tells them about the videos Ava left for Tripp and his reaction to them.  Kayla tells Steve she took him back to the apartment; Steve thanks her for taking care of him.  Steve is afraid he went too far by showing Tripp pictures of the room (shrine) Ava built; he’s afraid he “blew things sky high.”  Kayla says she talked to Tripp about him tonight; she says, he agreed to think about things.  Steve tells her she’s the best.  Steve and Kayla discuss Jade’s addiction; she tells Steve her plan worked.  Jade tried to take a bunch of the placebos and Joey knows now she was trying to trick him.  They wonder whether Jade might turn against Joey and tell Tripp that he killed Ava.
