07-19-2017 (Wednesday) So Many Strings

Kate runs into John in the square; he thanks her for the nice welcome home.  He looks around for Marlena; he says he left a message for her to meet him there.  Angelika walks into an office and finds “Dr. Evans” sitting behind the desk; she says, together, they are going to bring Adrian Kariakis down once and for all.  Marlena smiles.  (Is this really Marlena?)  Justin sits down with Adrian, and tells her she is absolutely glowing.  She says she couldn’t believe the bank backed the loan; she’s thinking Lucas might have had something to do with it.  He gets especially annoyed when she goes on about how “quietly protective he is.”  Angelika says the barracuda probably pulled her "damsel in distress act" and got some man to back her up; Marlena says her obsession with Adrian is bordering on pathological.

Angelika admits that she needs her, although she doesn’t like it – she says how else would she pull one over on the whole town of Salem, including “Marlena’s lapdog John Black.”  Marlena’s expression changes to a scowl.  Angelika tells her not to worry; she says he won’t find out until she gets what she wants here.  Marlena says, provided she gets what she wants also.  Angelika says ‘Marlena’ will get exactly what she promised her, as long as she does what she told her to.  Marlena tells her she needs to watch herself, saying her mood swings are going to bring down their whole plan; she says people are going think she has a bi-sexual disorder.  Angelika corrects her; that’s bipolar disorder, she says.  She says she thought Hattie would have thicker skin; Hattie shrinks in the chair.  She strips off her clothes and says she is tired of doing this; she tells Angelika to find someone else to play the part.  

Marlena meets John in the Square; Paul shows up and tells him they have to save Sonny.  Kate comes home; Lucas tells his mom that Chad knows who “jacked” Wilamina, but he won’t tell.  Kate asks who he is protecting.  Paul tells John and Marlena about the key card and the magazine; he says he thinks Xander was involved, assuming he got out of prison and then returned.  John says that’s quite a stretch; Paul says that’s why he needs his help – he apologizes to Marlena, saying he needs to take him away again for a while.  Hattie asks Angelika what her stake in this is; she says, if all goes according to plan, she will get a chance at love too – with Justin.  She asks how her being “Dr. Marlena” helps Angelika get Justin; Angelika tells her to sit down and says she’ll tell her.

Chad tells Kate he promised the hacker they could have a chance to make things right; from that, Kate deduces that he is protecting Abigail.  She says it’s one thing to protect your wife, but she reminds Chad that he and Abby are no longer married and says she isn’t going to let the business go down for her.  Dario mocks Abigail for still being concerned about Chad.  John kisses Marlena goodbye again.Abigail tells Dario this is going to end now; she shows him the proof she got with Theo – the flash drive.  She slaps him in the face; she berates him for trying to steal her son’s inheritance.  She tells him if he doesn’t return everything, she is going to go to the cops; he tells her if she goes to the cops, it is her precious Chad who will be going to prison.  He says he’s talking 25 to life; he tells Abby Chad is the one who killed Deimos Kariakis.

Lucas comes to see Chad; he catches Chad staring at Abigail’s ring, which she gave back when she backed out on renewing their vows.  He tells Lucas he called him over because he found out who has been stealing their company’s money.  He says he can’t say who told him because it could put them in danger; he asks Lucas to prepare a press release to let their investors know that everything is okay.  Dario tells Abby it’s true… Chad killed Deimos.  He says he had every reason; personally, what Deimos did to Gabby and her, and, he messed with Chad’s business and Chad doesn’t like to be messed with, he adds.  She says she was with Chad the whole time that night; he was no where near the party, she says, so he has no way of knowing.  Dario tells her that’s not true; he shows her a picture of Chad, holding onto the knife in Deimos’ chest.  It’s a pretty clear picture, he says; it appears that he is trying to wipe the knife clean with a napkin.

Dario tells Abigail he worked like a dog so he could come back to the party and surprise her; instead, he saw that.  He says she should be thanking him for keeping it quiet as long as he has; she asks why he did… he says he figured Chad did them all a favor, and it was keeping the cops busy.  Abigail says Gabi won’t forgive him if he sends Chad to prison; he laughs and says, “that’s true… she loves him, almost as much as you do.”  He asks her to still give him a chance to make her happy, and tells her Chad’s future is in her hands.  Chad absolutely refuses to tell Kate about Theo; Kate steps closer to Chad.  Lucas wishes him luck, and leaves.  Lucas finds Justin hugging Adrian at the Pub and says he is using her concern for Sonny to try to shove him out of the picture; Adrian interjects and tells them to stop it.  She tells them both to grow up and walks out the door; Lucas follows her.  Chad calls Abigail; he leaves her a message telling her he is worried about her and asking her to call.  Abby sits at the foot on the bed (on the floor) wondering what to do.
