Now that Lexie (Nikki Crawford) has informed her that EJ (Daniel Feuerriegel) plans to kidnap her and keep her held captive on DiMera Island, Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) knows she has to get ahead of the game. She has Lexie on her side, ready to leave town, so she goes to Bayview to say goodbye to Rachel (Lorelei Mote).

Brady (Eric Martsolf) watches the scene as Kristen holds Rachel and tells her all her hopes and dreams for her. Kristen doesn't say this is a goodbye, but Brady can tell that something is going on. Whatever Kristen is up to, he knows it's going to hurt his daughter. Could it send her right back to Bayview?

The End of Titan?

EJ's plan to destroy Titan may come to fruition sooner rather than later when Gabi (Cherie Jimenez) decides to rescind her offer to bail the company out. With the new loan that EJ now holds, this is the worst news that Xander (Paul Telfer) and Philip (John-Paul Lavoisier) could have received.

Gabi is furious for so many reasons. Between Theo, losing Philip, and now discovering these knock-off purses, she is sure that someone is trying to double-cross her, so she is going to double-cross them.

Meanwhile, Leo (Greg Rikaart) finds that Gwen (Emily O'Brien) is missing and ends up teaming with Gabi later in the week. Do those knock-off purses come into play again?

Holly's Pills

And finally, EJ's quest to cover his tracks in one of his most disturbing schemes yet lands with Holly (Ashley Puzemis). After Tate finds those pills in Holly's bag, he and Sarah (Linsey Godfrey) confront Holly. She is excited to go home when they drop the bomb and show her the pills. Holly denies taking them once again and even appears to sneak out of the hospital on her own.

When Johnny (Carson Boatman) hears about the pills, he knows exactly how they got there and confronts his father. How much can Johnny take before he quits?

Is Kristen getting what she deserves? Who do you think took Gwen? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
