Tuesday, March 6, 2018; S53E114: Lies Upon Lies

Steve is stunned to hear the news that Rafe cheated with Sammi.  Eric and Jennifer try to explain what happened; Kayla asks if anyone has been able to reach Hope.  Jen says she’s been calling and texting; she decides to go try to find her.  She finds her at the police station.  She reminds Hope what a tramp Sammi is, and tries to convince Hope that she should forgive Rafe; Hope says she thinks “it’s over” between her and Rafe.  Rafe shows up at Ciara’s; he says “it didn’t go so well.”  Ciara says her mother has not reached out to her; Rafe is frantic to find her.  Ciara asks if they can talk, saying, “the destructive wench isn’t here.”  Rafe says it isn’t Claire’s fault; Ciara says it is, but she also says it’s her fault to, and she says she’s sorry.  Rafe says it’s no one’s fault but his; she says, Claire would have never found out if she hadn’t been talking to Tripp about it in the first place.  She tells Rafe that she thinks her mom will come to understand in time; Rafe isn’t so sure.

Valerie confronts Lani about keeping the secret from Eli; when she mentions Lani trying to “pass another baby off as his,” Lani says, “you mean, like you did?”  Eli comes in and tells his mom to leave Lani alone; he says he has made his decision to let JJ and Lani raise this child.  However, later, he decides to tell Gabi that he cheated on her with Lani.  Gabi is pissed … “the night” she stayed with JJ to make sure he didn’t kill himself, she says; he says he thought she had left him to go back to JJ.  She can’t believe he thought she would do that to him; he says he felt sick as soon as he learned the truth (when she gave him the gun JJ was going to shoot himself with).  He says he just didn’t want to hurt her; Gabi is even more upset, though, when she realizes the baby might be his.  He says it’s not though; he tells her Lani swore to him that she was already pregnant when they were together.  He swears it will never happen again; Gabi says, she left JJ for sleeping with Lani, and questions why this should be any different.  He tells her she and Ari have been his life for the past six months and he doesn’t know what he would do without her; she says she will consider working things out, but he has to promise “no more lies.”  Hmmmmm.  He says he has told her “everything there is to know.”  After she leaves, he calls and stupidly leaves a message on Lani’s phone, telling her that he told Gabi they had slept together, but he didn’t tell her the baby was his.

As JJ and Lani sit and talk on the bench in the square, she begins having cramps; JJ calls for an ambulance.  Kayla happens by and reassures Lani that everything is going to be okay; she tells her to focus on her breathing.  Eve and Brady have a serious talk; she is concerned about his drinking.  He tells her to let him know if she thinks it is getting out of control; he says he trusts her and will listen to her.  He tells her he accepts her, flaws and all, and that’s what “makes them work.”  She agrees; they toast “to us.”  Eric comes in and sees Brady drinking; he asks him if he wants to go to a meeting – Brady tells him to get lost.  Kayla examines Lani when they get to the hospital; when she comes out, JJ asks how the baby is.  She says they are “fine.”  There is no reason for concern, but she wants to keep her overnight as a precaution.  Lani tells JJ she was really scared; he promises he will always be there for her and their child.
