February 7, 2018 (S53E95): The Invitation


Ciara gets an invitation in the mail for her mom and Rafe’s wedding; she seems surprised.  She is just afraid of her mom getting hurt again, she says; she and Tripp talk about the time Rafe cheated on her mom and Ciara says he better not do it again.  Claire is a mess, late for work, can’t find her purse… Ciara laughs at her.  After Ciara leaves, Claire gives Tripp a hard time about being in love with her; he returns the favor with mention of her undying love for Theo.  She tells him he can’t ever tell anyone about Rafe cheating on her mom, “especially not Claire,” she says, just as Claire walks in the door.

Eve and Brady go out together, all dressed up; they go out to dinner and laugh about how their previous dates didn’t involve much conversation.  They try not tot talk about having sex; Brady suggests they talk about work.  Eve calls him a hopeless romantic and they laugh.  Claire is surprised to see the two of them together; she tells them she is having a hard day… Eve sympathizes with her and Brady is impressed to see “there is a heart in there.”  They encourage her to enter a contest that they invent on the spot for the magazine they plan to launch; Brady says her mom was the “face of the 90s” so she is a perfect fit.

Rafe tells Hope about the woman they saw on the videotape; Hope can’t believe it was Gabi – she mentions that she wasn’t wearing a coat earlier in the day when she spoke with Andre.  He tells her about the piece of the urn in this person’s hand; they both admit this doesn’t look good for Gabi.  Hope is a little upset when Rafe tells her that they already brought Gabi in for questioning.  Gabi tells Eli she left her coat in the workroom that day and never went back to get it; Hope tells Rafe she thinks they may have to book Gabi for suspicion of murder.  Eli tells Gabi he will do everything in his power to see she’s found innocent, but she should get a lawyer as soon as possible.  She starts to cry, saying “I can’t go back to prison, I can’t, I can’t” and Rafe and Hope enter the room.  Gabi cries when Hope says she is going to have to spend the night there; Rafe says they have 48 hours to either charge or release her.  Hope allows her to go pick up Ari from Sonny’s; Rafe says he will take care of her.

Abe and Valerie talk; he tells her he hopes she catches the boquet at Hope and Rafe’s wedding.  They start to discuss the coming grandchild, and Valerie tells Abe to not be so certain Lani and JJ are going to make it.  Lani tries to talk to JJ; he can’t understand why she crying.  She tells him it’s all the unwanted attention she’s getting and begins ranting, and sobbing; he says he’s sorry.  She tells him Valerie, specifically, is full of “unsolicited advice these days” and he says she needs to get used to it because when she and Abe get married, she will be this baby’s grandma; she says “if they get married.”  Lani bursts into Eli’s office and tells him the baby she is having is his.
