Monday, February 5, 2018 (S53E93): Days Gone By

So, Anna has been arrested for Andre’s murder and pretty much everyone is sure she did it; the theory is that she bashed him over the head with her dead husband’s urn… but in this episode, we learn (and get to see the replay of the scene) that Anna’s attempt to hit Andre over the head was thwarted by Andre, who grabbed her arm and took Tony’s ashes away from her.  He told her to leave, holding the urn hostage, and not to come back until she has come to her senses.  She leaves, crying.  She tells Hope and Rafe that she wanted to kill Andre – but that he was still very much alive when she left there.  They review more security footage turned over by Stefan, and see something; it isn’t Anna or Hati.

JJ is over the top happy about Lani’s baby, which he believes is also his… but we have been let in on the secret that the baby is really Eli’s – and Valerie knows this, because she took a peek at Lani’s medical records and saw the date of conception (last Christmas), which was when Lani and JJ had broken up, and she was with Eli.  Valerie is about to confront Lani about this fact when Abe walks in the door and sits down at the table with them; he is followed by JJ, who is carrying to little bicycles (one pink and one blue).  He says he may have gotten carried away.  They laugh.  Abe tells him he will make plenty of mistakes, and Valerie blurts out, “yeah, like the one I made not telling Eli, who his real father was.”  Lani looks uncomfortable; JJ just smiles a silly smile.

Valerie puts the idea in Eli’s head that Gabby might have had something to do with Andre’s murder; he upsets her when he begins to ask all kinds of questions, trying to establish a time line.  He says he is looking out for her, but she doesn’t see it that way.  Julie tells JJ that she is sure he will be a great dad, but warns him being a parent is the hardest job in the world; he says he and Lani will figure it out as they go along.

Theo is moved to a special clinic in Africa; Abe returns from taking him and says he is the star of the whole facility.  Everyone loves him.  He meets with Valerie for lunch and he can tell she is suspicious about something, but she gives no hint as to what; he leaves to take a phone call from the doctor at the clinic.  Valerie tells Lani that she knows that Eli is the baby’s father.
