"Days Of Our Lives" soap recap

In the previous episode, Abby (Marci Miller) informed Chad (Billy Flynn) that she’s trying to repair her friendship with Gabi (Camila Banus). Abby also told him that she’s ready to help him in his battle against Titan. When Chad insisted that it’s not her fight, she argued that it is because she belongs to him and his family. The two kissed and headed straight to bed. The two were making out when Andre (Thaoo Penghlis) and Kate (Lauren Koslow) arrived and called for a family meeting about the war against Titan. Andre admitted retaliating against the Hernandez and Kiriakis men since they stole his Orwell device. Chad said he needed to take his wife out and left Andre and Kate at the mansion. Chad and Abby went to Salem Inn, where they made love. He professed his love for her, and told Abby that he wants to be a good husband to her.

Elsewhere, Eric (Greg Vaughan) took care of Hope (Kristian Alfonso), who’s still feeling quite feverish. Despite the antibiotics, her fever ran high and Eric tried to cool her down by throwing her in the shower. When he took her, she dropped a charm on the bed.
