08-25-2017 (Friday) Angelika Gives Up

Gabi reads a headline in the Spectator about Chad walking “right back to his ex.”  She sits a table in the Square, alone.  Jen tells Eric she saw Lucas and he was totally drunk; he admits that he saw him at the Pub and he was already drunk there.  Jen says she can’t believe he’d start drinking again after all these years, but then says, a broken heart is a hard thing to carry around.  Eric agrees, as he thinks about holding Nicole and almost telling her he loves her; Nicole walks through the Square and has the same memory.  She sees Gabi, and asks what’s wrong.  Gabi just starts to cry; Nicole hugs her.  Nicole tells Gabi she understands why she’s sad, but reminds her she has her baby girl; Gabi thanks her for the reminder, saying he is so sorry she doesn’t have her daughter right now.  She then says she hopes the person that killed Deimos gets away with it; Nicole hugs her and tells her, her heart will heal in time.

Jen asks Eric if he wants to talk about whatever she walked in on; he tells her he and Nicole were just coming to an understanding.  Sitting in the park now, Nicole reads news reports that police have no new leads on who killed Deimos Kariakis.  Jen and Eric try to figure out why his mom would do this to John, and why Adrian would break up with Lucas.  Jen tells Eric she has to go and says she hopes things get less complicated for him and Nicole.  Sonny and Paul laugh gleefully about being able to wake up next to each other every morning after they get married; they discuss making arrangements with Chad and Abby to coordinate their wedding dates.  Sonny tells Paul he wants to be the one to tell Marlena; Paul says he understands, as Will was her son and they both loved him.  Chad tells Abigail that Sonny and Paul are also getting married, and says they are going to be each other’s Best Man.  She says she is happy for them, but has to admit that she misses Will.  Chad says Will would want Sonny to be happy, just like he would want them to be; Abigail agrees. 

Paul tells Sonny he was going to ask his dad to be his Best Man, but he can’t seem to find him anywhere.  John tells Marlena that it looks like mad Hattie had them both committed; Marlena says this seems more like Hattie following someone else’s direction.  She recalls Hattie saying, “we spiked ‘em” about the strawberries n whipped cream.  John tries to think who she would be working with; Marlena says it is someone who makes elaborate plans.  She thinks it may be Steffano.  John doesn’t think so; he says it is someone equally manipulative and diabolical though.  Angelika asks Bonnie what Lucas is doing there, saying she must have lost her mind; she says her roll in the hay with this drunk could cost them everything.

Angelika says they need to get out of there before ‘sleeping beauty’ wakes up, but Bonnie refuses to leave Lucas.  She says Lucas Horton is a good man, a successful business man and loving father, who is also an alcoholic; she says they may have ruined this man’s life forever and she doesn’t know if she can live with herself after this.  Angelika tells Hattie and Bonnie that they are both morons, calling them “Ethel and Lucy.”  Bonnie says she should watch how she talks to them; Hattie agrees, saying if she heard her right, she just called them stupid.  They threaten to “blow the whistle” on her and talk about what would happen if… Bonnie tells her the party is over.  She plays on their desires, reminding them that they can get the benefit of these women’s money by playing along, and points out that if they blow the whistle, they would be going back to lock up themselves.  She points out that all the evidence leads straight to them; her hands are clean, she says.

Gabi comes by to bring Abigail a Get Well card Arianna made for her “aunt.”  She sees Chad and Abigail kissing, then notices the ring on Abby’s finger.  Chad says he should have told her and apologizes; she says it’s okay.  She gives Abby the card and says she has to go; Abigail tells Chad he should go talk to her.  Chad says he is sorry again, adding he didn’t mean to hurt her; she says he didn’t, saying she did that all by herself.  Sonny and Paul come into the hospital and see Gabi; they announce their engagement and she starts to cry, saying that’s wonderful, everyone she knows is getting married.  She walks away; Sonny follows her and apologizes.  She tells him it’s okay, really; she says she is happy for them, and she is happy for Chad and Abby too.  He tells her that she will also have all the happiness she deserves one day; they hug.  She admits she can’t just turn her feelings off, and although she hoped she and Chad were going to be together, Chad was never hers to have, she says; Sonny assures her she is not alone, pointing out that he is also her family.  She admits he is right; he assures her that Paul accepts that she and Ari are going to be in his life forever.

Paul visits with Abigail; he tells her he hasn’t been able to find his dad.  John tells Marlena maybe they just got in somebody’s way; maybe this isn’t really about them at all.  John tells Marlena once they get out of there and he gets her in his arms again, he is never going to let her go.  After Sonny comes in and asks if they have picked a wedding date yet, adding that they need to work this out because they are going to have an identical guest list; Abigail suggests they have a double wedding.  Bonnie tells Angelika she can’t control them anymore; she holds up the binder Lucas found and points out that it has Angelika’s fingerprints all over it.  She dares Angelika to come after her for it; Angelika does.  They begin to wrestle.  Angelika suddenly gets a strange look on her face and falls over backwards, onto the bed next to Lucas.  Bonnie laughs, asking if she gives up; Hattie checks her pulse and says, “she’s dead.”
