04-28-2017 (Friday) A Stranger in the House

Joey sees Jade and asks how the move is going; she says she’ll get the rest of her stuff soon.  He says no rush; he tells her this is for the best though.  Not for her, she mumbles.  She tells him (after he leaves) that someday he will love her as much as she loves him.  Tripp comes into the Pub and sees Kayla and Brady kissing at a table; he looks annoyed.  He apologizes for interrupting, and admits that it’s strange to see a married couple getting along so well.  She brags about how well he handled the pressure today and Tripp admits that he may have an interest in becoming a doctor.  He tells them he has an undergraduate degree from Arizona State University already; says he put himself through.  They tell him they are proud of him.  

He talks about the videos his mom left him, and then says if he’s having dinner with his father, starts tearing up and says he can’t do this; he calls him “pops” and says he’d like to be friends, but this is too much for him.  He leaves.  Kayla goes after him.  She tells him she knows this is hard for him and he is still processing everything, but she says she feels like his friend and she wants to know what Steve could do to fix this; he says he just doesn’t think he can ever let go of the fact that his father killed his mother.  She goes back in and tells Steve Tripp is struggling, but she believes he will let go of his mother’s death and want to be a part of the family.  Jade tells Tripp that Mr. Johnson is basically a good guy; he says he seems like a good dad too… until you throw in the part about him killing his mother.  Jade agrees she would have a hard time forgiving something like that, but she says this is different; he can’t imagine ever being one big happy family.  Steve thanks Kayla for trying; he says if he gets his son back, it will be because of her.

Abigail rounds the corner and sees Gabi kissing Eli, pretty passionately now.  She is obviously irritated.  When she catches Gabi walking home, she tells her that she left Chad so they could be together, so she is a little bit miffed that Gabi’s now going after her cousin.  Gabi reminds her that she lined them up in the first place; Abigail says that she wants her to be with Chad and Gabi says that is not going to happen.  Funny.  Gabi reminds her that she and Chad only got together because they thought she was dead; Abigail says she knows that and doesn’t feel betrayed.  She’s only leaving because Chad’s heart isn’t wholly in their marriage.  Gabi tells Abigail that she is difficult to figure out; she summarizes everything Chad has been through with her and how he has done everything humanly possible to prove his love to her.  Abby brings up her “front row seat to the Chad and Gabi yearning for each other show” and says trying just isn’t good enough for her anymore.  

Gabi says Chad loves Abigail and needs her; Abby says he was “trying” and she needs more than for her husband to try.  Gabi says she needs to stop trying to play God and stop making decisions for her and Chad; she gets a phone call and walks away.  Abigail talks to Eli for a minute and excuses herself.  Eli tells Gabi he has the antidote for her broken heart and he kisses her again.Nicole tells Brady everything is perfect; he calls it Heaven on Earth.  The masked man wanders through their home; he kicks a toy on the floor and it makes noise.  Brady goes to check it out; he finds the toy going off, but no one near it.  He looks around the room, but sees nothing; the masked man is hiding around the corner.  He comes back in and tells Nicole the car must have a mind of its own; Nicole tells Brady she’s hungry.  As Brady and Nicole talk, right on cue, Holly starts crying; Nicole goes to get her.  The masked man is standing there, holding Holly; he points his gun at Nicole.  Brady comes in and stands by Nicole; Holly starts crying.  Brady rushes the man and gets shot in the stomach; Nicole pulls the mask off of the man.  It’s Xander; he says, “surprise.”

Paul tells Sonny he talked with a guy who has some information; he wants an incentive.  Sonny says he’ll get the money; Paul is going to handle the transaction.  Together, he says, they will get Deimos.  Paul describes some guy who has been seen working for Deimos; Sonny says he knows who that is.  Sonny calls this man and gently threatens him about going again his Uncle Victor; he says his only hope is to tell him why Deimos is in Manatoba.  He tells Sonny he is there for Nicole and the kid.  Sonny gets an address and calls for the company jet.
