At DiMera, Gabi pulls away from making out with “Johnny.” He says he wants her and he’s not holding back. He knows she wants him to. So, the question is, “Are you going to take what you want?” Gabi doesn’t know what it is about him. It’s like she finds it impossible to resist him. She tries to restrain herself, but he knows Gabi Hernandez always goes after what she wants. She agrees and pulls him in for another kiss. “Johnny” whips off his shirt and helps Gabi take down the top of her dress.

Jake walks in and shouts, “What the hell is this?” Gabi pulls up her dress, as Jake tells her the devil morphed into him to make her think he betrayed her. Gabi can’t believe he’d use the “Devil made me do it” excuse, but “Johnny” confirms his aunt Belle was possessed. After taunting Jake into lunging for him, Gabi asks to talk to Jake alone. When “Johnny” leaves, Jake lashes out at a chagrined Gabi for not trusting him. She apologizes and wonders if he could forgive her. He says she got what she wanted — CEO of DiMera — and walks out.

At home, Belle tells Shawn she morphed into Jake. Shawn reluctantly tells her she also morphed into EJ to assault Abigail. Gutted, Belle asks what she did. Shawn reminds her it was the devil, not her, before filling her in. She can’t believe how many people she hurt. She doesn’t know if she could live with herself if something happens to EJ in that hell hole. After ensuring there are no 666 marks on her coat, she puts it on to go talk to EJ.

Before Clyde can leave the prison visitors’ room, EJ stops him. He just remembered, “You’re the son of a bitch who had me shot.” Clyde reclines in a chair, having no idea what he’s talking about. EJ knows it was him. Clyde shrugs and says, “Okay,” which enrages EJ even further. Clyde breezily apologizes, but he’s alive, so no harm no foul. EJ shouts that he lost everything he holds dear and Clyde’s the one who took from him. Clyde has no sympathy, but wonders what he’s going to do about it. EJ threatens to tell the parole board about his role in his shooting. Clyde reminds EJ if he is denied parole, he’ll be right back there sharing a cell with and he won’t be happy. So, he needs to leave the past dead and buried, where it belongs. After Clyde walks out, EJ says, for him, the past is still very much alive.

Chad stops by to see Belle, but Shawn says she went to see EJ. Chad says he’s there to assure her he doesn’t blame her for anything. Kate calls and asks for a copy of the report on Philip’s case because she hired a P.I. When he leaves to take care of it, Chad stays behind “to wait for Belle,” and downloads EJ’s fake paper trail onto Belle’s laptop.

Back at the DiMera mansion, Chad returns the flashdrive to Kate. She plans to destroy it and then they just wait for Belle to find it and confess to setting EJ up.
