Holly’s a bundle of stress thanks to sorority rush, which is a bit of a surprise to Ari. Everyone loves her. Except for slap-happy Sophia. But before Ari can defend their catatonic “friend,” Gabi shows up with Gabi Chic dresses and some encouragement that rush is a part of the college experience.

Then she drops the boom that she knows about her daughter’s fake ID. She found it yesterday, and was going to ground her… but knows it’ll be pointless. Ari’s in college, Gabi did the same thing in college, and she just wants Ari to be smart and careful.

Is the Custody Fight Over?

Chad, Melinda, Justin and Jennifer finish signing the custody arrangement. (Jack already signed, which is good, because he’s not there.) Melinda pulls Chad aside to reiterate that this is a bad idea. It’ll tie him to the whims of a “mercurial ten-year old” (And his mercurial grandparents) but Chad’s doing this.

After all is said and done, Jennifer insists they can repair their relationship, thanks to their love for his kids. (Chad’s a bigger person than, well, a lot of us.) Jennifer and Chad then both lament that they don’t know where Abigail’s remains actually ended up. But at least they found Stefano’s. Knowing he’s well and truly gone is liberating for Chad. Then Chad mentions he’s nervous about the future because Thomas is going to be a teenager soon. (Is this a SORAS preview?)

Johnny Makes Bonnie’s Day

Johnny heads over to the Kiriakis mansion to have a chat with Bonnie about her novel. She literally leaps out of the chair to throw her arms around him when he says he’d like to read it. Romance novels are big money, so she’s gonna do great things for DiMera.
