Days of our Lives highlights

Gabi (Cherie Jimenez) didn't know what got into "Rafe" (Galen Gering) as he continued to call her a be-yotch multiple times until he told her to get lost when his stripper friend arrived. Savannah insisted that she didn't do threesomes. Gabi left her own family home in horror, wondering if she'd be welcomed back.

When she got to The Brady Pub, she vented to Stephanie (Abigail Klein) and Alex (Robert Scott Wilson), who had already decided that Rafe had to be Arnold. Stephanie left Alex to fill Gabi in on their theory. Gabi had been sure Arnold was dead, but Alex didn't think so. He and Stephanie had deduced that EJ and Stefano loved faking people's deaths, so perhaps they faked Arnold's death...

Jada and Shawn's romp

Jada (Elia Cantu) and Shawn (Brandon Beemer) enjoyed some moments of passion on Stephanie's couch, but when those moments were over, Jada seemed sad. She admitted that a few weeks ago she thought she was going to spend the rest of her life with Rafe and never expected to be with another man.

Shawn understood but told Jada it was okay to move on. When Shawn went to shower, Stephanie arrived home and told Jada all about her Rafe theory. Jada had never heard the Arnold story and was stunned, but not as stunned as Stephanie when Shawn appeared in her living room in nothing but a towel.

Fun for Chad and Cat

Marlena (Deidre Hall) left Chad (Billy Flynn) and Cat (AnnaLynne McCord) to brainstorm for a fundraiser meant to save Salem University Hospital. Cat didn't want a stuffy formal event and instead wanted anyone in attendance to have fun. She suggested a street fair and Chad thought that was a great idea.

When the subject of a dunking booth came up, Chad was sure Marlena would volunteer to be dunked because she was always such a good sport about things. She might even joke about the booth being filled with holy water. Chad explained that Marlena had twice been possessed by the devil as if it were an everyday occurrence. He even thought they could dress Marlena in a devil costume and call the booth "Dunkin' the Devil." Thankfully for all, Cat talked him out of that idea.
