Trigger-Happy Hope Strikes Again

 

 

Statesville

Ben: "Salem will never accept me." Protip for Ben: there are other towns. #DAYS

Ben's having a great day so far: being choked by Eve, getting conked with a frypan and staring down the barrel of Hope's gun. #DAYS

Hope suggests Ben should be in Statesville. Isn't that where she and Rafe should be, too? #DAYS

In today's episode, the "who can keep a secret" contest between Brady and Eve, goes to Brady… until the judges remember he's the one who told Eve that Nicole killed Deimos in the first place. #DAYS

Claire Slams Ben With A Frypan

Another #DOOL classic moment brought to you by kooky Claire. #DAYS

 

Which Serial Killer

Rafe: "Weston's a threat." The way this show goes he'll probably wind up being best man at his wedding. #DAYS

Ben to Ciara: "This isn't a stalking thing." Of course not. It's just a serial killer showing up at her door unexpectedly. #DAYS

Claire to Hope: "Your daughter just invited a serial killer into our home." In Salem it might be helpful if she specified WHICH serial killer. #DAYS

Your Mother Wears Combat Boots

 

 

Extra Charge For Romping

Tripp jumps up and down with excitement as Claire walks in. Claire: "That's how everyone should act when I come into a room." Instead of puking? #DAYS

Note to Steve: Wait to jump Kayla until you get home. The way hospitals suck your money these days, there is probably an extra charge for romping in a hospital bed.

True to form for Salem women Hope stands frozen as Eve attacks Ben. Rafe stops things. Good thing a man came along. #DAYS

Teensy-Tiny-Thingie

Opening scene: John and Marlena wander into the square where apparently David is now buried. #DAYS

That's probably not the first time Kate has awakened to find the guy in her bed has taken a powder. #DAYS

Aw, Kate didn't even have a chance to try on her new teensy-tiny thingie before Ted got down to business. #DAYS

Pathological Liar

Hope to Ciara: "Ben is a pathological liar." Pathological liar, in this case, trumps pathological serial killer. #DAYS

Chloe: "My son is the light of my life." As much as she's away from him she must walk around in the dark a lot. #DAYS

Stefan to Chad: "We can keep beating each other up…" Their fight in the club was a draw. Other than that, Chad has done more og the beating up than Stafan. #DAYS

Bad News / Good News

Maybe Will's mystery note is from Leo — back from the dead already. #DAYS

The bad news: Gabi was beaten so badly she can't have kids. The Good news: Gabi is out of the gene pool. #DAYS

Next on #DOOL — Instead of terminating her pregnancy, Abby decides it would be better just to hijack the stork. #DAYS

DiMera Mansion Security

 

 

Kate's Bottom Line

Gabi wants to switch the switched paternity test. The math behind this event of cosmic proportions is: Switch x Switch = Switch² #DAYS

Stefan: The board of directors doesn't care about Kate. They care about the bottom line." Ted: "And what I care about is Kate's bottom line." #DAYS

Kate to Will: "I'm your grandmother. You can tell me anything." The part she left out was "and hold it in confidence." #DAYS

Gabi accidentally-on-purpose gives Stefan the wrong envelope. Stefan takes the bait like a starving tiger. #DAYS

We Didn’t Start The Fire

Eve asks Jennifer how she knows the drugs weren't JJ's. Jennifer: "Because I asked him and he told me." And, as we know, JJ never lies. Ignore what he said in court. #DAYS

I think a professional police department would have an impartial party question Ben about Ciara, not her mother. This is, however, the SPD, not a professional police department. #DAYS

Jennifer and Eve have a verbal catfight. Eric prudently keeps his mouth shut. #DAYS

With Ben's protestations, Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start The Fire" keeps running through my head. #DAYS

100%

Victor fires Theresa. If she didn't think there would be ramifications for her Tate-snatching she was more blind than Patch. #DAYS

Vegas odds that Steve will get his sight back are 100%. #DAYS

OK, Eve, letting Chloe in on the fact you know who killed Deimos is like hanging red meat in front of a starving lion. #DAYS

The Test Result Switching Capital Of The World

Abby considers terminating her pregnancy… the line no soap opera will cross. There are always stairs to be pushed down or a convenient ladder to fall off of. Or, like Lani, a miscarriage to endure. #DAYS

Gabby: "Don't feel guilty." Stefan's the one who planted the evidence." According to the results Abby got, that's not all he planted. #DAYS

So, Abby, this is Salem, the test result switching capital of the world… you could consider a second opinion. In another town. #DAYS

Old Habits Die Hard

 

 

A Salem Paternity Test

If the results ain't switched, there must be some glitch. #DAYS

 

Pyromaniacs

Financial advice: Titan stock price is rising. Sell short now! #DAYS

Ted and Kate: Tate? Oh, wait… that's been taken. #DAYS

Suddenly Abigail realizes she has something in common with Ben… they're both pyromaniacs. #DAYS

A Nooner

Theresa to JJ: "When did you get so mature." Like everyone else in Salem it was when he was SORASed. And that means mature in years only. #DAYS

Gabi: "I'm sure this is just a pulled muscle." Why don't you get a second opinion on that, Gabs… you know, like, from a doctor. #DAYS

Eve to Brady: "You'd be a fool to trust Theresa." In that case, look for Brady to start trusting Theresa. #DAYS

So Chad's first act as the head of Titan was to stay home from work for a nooner. #DAYS

 

Maggie's Household Hint

 

 

Liars And Backstabbers

Get with it Hope. Ben isn't mentally ill. He had a McRecovery #DAYS

While interrogating Ben Rafe plays bad cop-bad cop. Well, maybe in his case it's crooked cop-crooked cop. #DAYS

Ciara sneaks past hospital security and flew the coop then sneaks past SPD security to get into an interrogation room. Either she's really good or institutional security in Salem is bad. I vote for the latter. #DAYS

Arianna flings her doll across the room. Gabi is beginning to understand why tigers sometimes eat their young. #DAYS

Arianna throws her doll across the room. Maggie: "Arianna, give your mommy a chance. She needs a hug right now." No, what she needs is a paddle. #DAYS

Kate: "The world is full of liars and backstabbers and they're coming after me." Probably because they t hink she's so qualified to be the President of the Liars and Backstabbers Association. #DAYS

Custody Of Tate

 

 

Salem City Ordinance 2419B

Salem City Ordinance 2419B: No matter what private activity citizens are involved in they must immediately answer a door if someone knocks or a phone if it rings. Severe fines and possibly prison terms apply. #DAYS

Is there a writer's strike on? Why did we have to go through the Will/Sonny discussion about the rug again? #DAYS

One Of The Old Models

They drag Clyde out of maximum security to ask him where Ben is. Probably not necessary to bring him to the station but I'm sure Clyde appreciates the field trip. #DAYS

Justin to Brady: "I just have one question for you." Asks him three. #DAYS

Ben: "I don't know what is reality any more." That's a sure sign he's been on #DAYS too long.

Ciara proves to Ben she won't make a call by turning her phone off. She must have one of the old models that will never turn back on. #DAYS

Another Day In Paradise

Ciara is trapped with a pathological serial killer off his meds. He can't get a refill and he thinks it's all her fault. Another day in paradise. #DAYS

Hope: Ben is a danger to society. He's a murderer." Is an attempted murderer a danger to society? I'll bet Stefano would say so. #DAYS

Too bad Brady couldn't have gotten Ted as his attorney instead of Justin. He'd be walking out the door with Tate by now. #DAYS

Hypocrisy

Someone should have told Marlena: Doctors take the HIPPOCRATIC oath, not the HYPOCRITIC oath. #DAYS

The Entrance To Hell Doesn't Have Cell Service

Marlena wants an old fashioned kind of wedding. Hasn't she already had six of those? #DAYS

Kate: "Leo isn't returning my phone calls." The entrance to hell doesn't have cell service. #DAYS

Kate: "My children were always pushing me away." She's been disowned by Lucas so many times she can't keep it straight if their relationship is on or off. #DAYS

Going Down

Uh-oh Abby is distracted while Chad is talking about Thomas. Not good. Abby's out in left field even when she's fully concentrating. #DAYS

Leo to Sonny: "Marry me and I won't sue you." That's gotta be the most romantic proposal ever. #DAYS

Leo to sonny: "All you have to do is marry me and all your problems go away." Yeah, and he gets hit with a huge brand new problem. #DAYS

Stefan to Kate: "Chad's going down. Save yourself. Don't go down with him." Going down is Kate's specialty. That's how she got her start… if you catch my drift. #DAYS

Leo to Sonny: "I know you think I'm nothing but a con artist who is only out to get you," says the con artist who is only out to get him. #DAYS

Abby tells Chad she has to run some errands, "I have some loose ends." Not to mention a screw loose. #DAYS

She Who Fights And Runs Away...
