04-26-2017 (Wednesday) What happened to Lani??

Lani wakes up, on the park bench, nylons torn, dirty and with her hair all messed up; she calls JJ.  When he gets there, she tells him she cannot remember what happened.  JJ tells her they need to go to the hospital to check for evidence, in case she was raped… Kayla tells her it doesn’t appear that she was sexually assaulted.  She does say there is some unknown chemical in her body though.  JJ says he never should have let her meet with that guy; she snaps at him, that he didn’t “let” her do anything.  Kayla tells JJ that Lani has still been through a trauma and may need some time to recover, even with her police training; he says he will take care of her.  Her phone rings; it’s Snake.  She plays it cool, and asks what happened to her; he says all in good time.  He tells her to wait for his next set of instructions; she says okay.  JJ comes in the room and hears her on the phone; she lies and says it was her dad.  He tells her Kayla wants her to stay until they can identify the substance that’s in her system; he tells her to focus on getting better, and let him take care of everything else.

Kayla and Steve meet; she asks him if these lunch dates are going to be a regular thing.  Steve says they can be if she wants them to; she says he makes it hard to go back to work.  Steve goes to see Joey.  Tripp and Jade tell Joey that she is moving in with him; he asks Tripp if he is sure he wants to take her on.  He says she has a lot of baggage; Tripp says he does too.  He tells Joey she is the closest thing he has to a friend in this town.  Joey tells Jade that he isn’t sure how he feels about her living with Tripp; she asks if he wants her to stay.  He says it’s complicated and confesses that he is worried about what she knows; she promises she wouldn’t ever do anything to hurt him.  He says he knows she wouldn’t, on purpose.  Steve offers to take her shopping for some things for the new place; he promises Steve that she will never tell Tripp what happened with Ava.  She says she wants to help Tripp see what a great family they are; she says she is sorry Kayla hates her now.  Steve says Kayla doesn’t hate her, she just worries; Jade kisses Steve on the cheek and tells him it’s really good to have him on her side, especially since they are going to be family soon.  He isn’t sure what to think about that; she leaves.  Tripp comes to see him and thanks him for the can opener; they start talking and the subject of abuse fathers comes up again.  Tripp says he doesn’t want to talk about it, but Steve still shares a story from his past; he tells Tripp he was angry at the world.  He tells him all that saved him was a woman who loved him no matter what; he tells Tripp he isn’t giving up on him, and never will.  He leaves.  Kayla meets with Steve again and he tells her about Jade moving in with Tripp; she is concerned.  Steve is frustrated that Tripp won’t listen to him; he says he grew up with a father who pushed him around and he can’t tell him what to do.  Kayla says she can.

Chad is calling Abigail; he tells her he still considers her a part of the family, and the business, and asks her to call him back.  She is sneaking into the mansion; she goes up and sees Thomas, and writes Chad a note.  The nanny meets Chad at the door, on her way out, and tells him that Abby took the baby and left about an hour ago.  He says that’s fine; he reads Abby’s note and crumples it up.Abigail meets her mom for lunch.  She tells her mom that she got the job as the new Salem PD receptionist; Jen tells her she is very proud of her.  She also tells her that Chad is never going to give up on her.  She tells her that Eric suggested she give her the space to find herself; Abby questions how close of friends she and Eric are.  Jennifer says there are some feelings there, but they are both still figuring things out, rebuilding their lives after addiction almost ruined them.  Abby wishes them the best, saying she wants her to be happy; Jen tells Abby that’s what she wants for her too.  Anne sees Lucas and questions where Adrian is; he tells her she went to see her kids.  She offers to help him get his mind off of her for a bit, by buying him French fries.; he agrees to sit with her for a few minutes.  Jen is appalled when she sees them sitting down at a table together.  

When he leaves, Jen asks Anne if she is going after her brother; Anne says no, but Jen tells her she is going to keep an eye on her.  Kate comes in and tells Chad they need to be more proactive about their acquisitions; he says he is not doing anything illegal.  She tells him Abigail has left him twice now; he doesn’t owe her a thing.  He asks her if she thinks they can really get away with this; she says she knows people and he reluctantly concedes.  Abigail walks in to hear Kate say, “that’s my boy.”  She opens the door and sees them toasting to “making money the old fashioned way… stealing.”  Abigail comes in when Kate walks out; she tells him she accidentally heard them talking about stealing artwork.  She asks if this is the legacy he wants to leave for his son; he tells her she doesn’t have the right to make decisions for him anymore.  She congratulates him on his new big business deal and leaves angry.
