07-26-2017 (Wednesday) Changing the Game

Gabi holds the ring she found in Chad’s pocket; he comes out and she tells him she is sorry for ruining the surprise.  He tells her it’s Abby’s ring and tries to explain, saying he just found it in the drawer when he was looking for some papers.  He picked it up, and then Lucas came over; he says he didn’t know what else to do with it so he put it in his pocket.  Gabi looks as if she is going to cry; he says, “you don’t believe me.”  She says, it’s just everything he told her about what happened that night… the vow renewing, the kiss.  She asks him if he would take Abigail back, if she divorces Dario.  He says nothing would change, but she doesn’t believe him; she starts throwing a fit, yelling and then refuses to stay unless he takes the ring away from her.   He takes the ring downstairs to put it back in his desk drawer.

Abe asks Theo what he is hiding; he says nothing.  Abe asks why he closed the computer so fast then, and why he is acting so weird.  He says it’s just work stuff; his dad looks confused.  He tells his dad he is working for Chad; Abe says, “no you’re not.”  He tells Theo he wants him to quit; Theo says no.  Abe takes his computer off the table; Theo reaches for it, but Abe pulls it away.  Theo tells him he can’t do it; he says he’s done it, and walks away.  Theo looks really unsure about what to do as his father walks away.  Abe apologizes to Valerie for ruining the evening; she tells him the evening isn’t over yet.  She asks Abe why he is so upset about Theo working for Chad; he says he is afraid of history repeating itself.  Valerie asks Abe what he is really afraid of; he explains that he never could trust Andre, and the thought of Theo working for him scares him to death.  Valerie tells Abe she needs to trust Theo; he agrees not to open the computer, right now.  Theo goes to see Kate and Andre; they ask if he deleted the photo; he says, “no.”  He explains to them that his father took his laptop, because he doesn’t want him working for them; Andre says Abe never did like him.  Theo tells them the photo is up on the desktop; if his father opens his computer, it will be the first thing he sees.  Andre says they need to do whatever they can to get it back; they have to protect Chad at all costs.  Chad walks in and asks from what they need to protect him.

Dario tells Abigail he wants her to go into witness protection with him, suggesting she bring Thomas, of course; she asks, “you’re blackmailing me?”  He says, “I love you.”  He says he knows that she doesn’t feel the same way, but he thinks he can prove himself worthy of her love.  She stands up.  She says there is no way she would ever leave her entire family, and take Thomas away from his real father; he says they will find a way to work it out.  She says, no they won’t, because she isn’t going.  He tells her she knows the alternative; she slaps him.  She tells him she knows he tricked her into marrying him and asks how he could try to blackmail her; she thought he was her friend.  He still tries to talk her into going with him, but she says, “no, I won’t be going… not now, not ever.”  Dario looks angry. He tells her the photo is uploaded to the Cloud; he says Chad is going down for Dario’s murder.  She tells him she will figure out how to protect Chad; he tells her she should consider what he proposed – he believes it would be best for everyone.

Abigail goes to see Theo and finds him sitting alone, without his computer; she asks if he found the picture.  He tells her he “hit a little snag.”  Eli tells Lani he appreciates her help on this case; she says she is beyond grateful for the opportunity to work with the FBI.  She asks what’s next; he says they have to wait for instruction and tells her she doesn’t have to stay.  She says she would like to go see JJ; he apologizes for interrupting them earlier, promising it won’t happen again.  He goes to see Dario to talk to him about the witness protection deal.

Kayla is going through old invoices; Steve asks when that became her job.  She says since Roman took the Pub over from their mom and shoved all those invoices in a drawer; she just found them.  He tells her she doesn’t have to do it; she says she does, because its all that is stopping her from going and cleaning out her office.  He assures her she will be vindicated, and adds that she will probably become Chief of Staff.  She tells him she loves him; he tells her she is her first priority.  He talks her into closing up early, “to save a few bucks on next month’s electric bill” and so he can take her home.  When she comes out of the kitchen, all the tables are lit up with candles and there are flowers on one of them; Steve tells her happy anniversary (it’s the date of their first one).  He gives her a bracelet and they dance.
