10-06-2017 (Friday) Pouring Rain

Chad and Abigail celebrate the completion of their wedding vows, while Sonny and Paul wonder if they will ever finish theirs.  Sonny and Paul talk to Marlena, after Lucas refuses to give permission to exhume Will’s body; they ask if she will talk to Ben and try to find out why he would be saying that Will is alive.  Paul says he understands that Sonny needs to know… Sonny struggles with the thought that he abandoned Will and that Will died thinking he stopped loving him.  Marlena assures Sonny that Will knew he loved him and thought they would get past that.  Ben is brought into the police station and gleefully remarks, “look, the gang’s all here.”  He is taken into the interrogation room; Marlena agrees to talk to him.  Ben claims he was trying to do Sonny a favor by letting him know that the love of his life was alive; he says he risked everything so that everyone who cared about Will would know the truth.  He starts to (almost) cry, asking what he gets in return, being chained to the table like a monster.  He says, “to hell with all of them.”  Paul says he hopes he can help Sonny get over losing Will all over again when he knows for sure that Ben is lying; John asks if he has thought about what he might do if Ben is telling the truth.  Paul says there is no way it is true, adding that he isn’t going to let Ben Weston destroy what he and Sonny have together.  Marlena seems to soften Ben up a bit; she says she would like some answers from him.

Brady pours himself a glass of brandy; Victor tells him he hates to see him lose his sobriety over the likes of Nicole Walker.  Chloe tells Nicole that Eric left because he cares about both her and Brady; Eric asked Chloe not to tell but she tells Nicole she can’t keep secrets from her anymore.  Nicole tells Chloe about the letter Eric left her, and she says it ‘mostly’ seems true; she says Eric is one of the most unselfish people she ever knew.  She tells Nicole, outright, that Eric left because he is still in love with her and didn’t want to cause problems for her and Brady.  She also tells Nicole that Brady knows everything.  Victor gloats about Eric being gone; Brady pours himself another glass… he says he is glad he “won” - he just doesn’t like the way it happened.  Chloe tells Nicole that Brady had told Eric to fire her, but Eric couldn’t bear to see Nicole lose a job she loved; Nicole realizes he left the job he loved instead.  Nicole asks Chloe if she would mind watching Holly for a little while; Chloe asks her what she is going to do, but Nicole won’t tell her.  She says she will call when she is through.  Marlena asks Ben if he saw Will alive after he strangled him; Ben says no.  He says someone told him, swearing it was a real person (not a voice in his head); she questions if it was a visitor.  Ben looks at her, almost shocked, but then shakes his head.

Gabi and Eli literally bump into each other in the park; she helps him up and they kiss, sweetly.  Rafe isn’t happy when he comes upon them kissing.   He tells Gabby that he thinks Eli is taking advantage of her and he’s still mad that he took the chance of shooting Raines so close to her.  He tells Gabi that Chad and Abigail went through with their wedding; she is a little taken back, but says she is fine with it.  She tells Rafe that she has had a long day, and would like some “alone time,” asking him to go first so she can say goodbye to Eli.  She apologizes for Rafe; Eli says it’s fine because he would do the same for his sister.  He asks her if she is really okay about Chad and Abigail; she hesitates to answer.  He apologizes if he “overstepped” his bounds when he kissed her; she says he did not, saying she has no regrets about the kiss, but isn’t sure what will happen next.  He says he understands and offers to take her home. (motel/farmhouse).

Rafe goes into the station to see everyone waiting around the interrogation room; he tells her that Eli Grant is going to be his new partner.  Marlena comes out and says he told her enough that she thinks she can put the pieces of this puzzle together, with their help.  Abigail and Chad prepare to spend their second-first night as husband and wife together; they make love and talk about being together forever.  Hope shows Ben a picture of his father and asks if he is the person who came to visit him at Bayview.  Victor watches and Sonny and Brady have a screaming match about who should be in charge of Titan; Sonny asks for Victor to back him uip, but Victor just sits there.  Nicole shows up at Eric’s motel door, soaking wet from the rain.  (It wasn’t raining in Salem when she left Holly with Chloe.)  Strange.
