Ciara's former fling, Wyatt, agrees to help a determined Claire ensure her victory in the contest, and she does win by one vote

Ciara is disheartened by losing the contest by one vote, but, more so, upset with Tripp as she thinks he should have sided with her

While upset with an equally upset Tripp, Ciara happens upon Wyatt, not knowing his newest duplicitous behavior

Though still upset with Lani over her duplicity, J.J. is attentive as Lani explains the complications with her pregnancy

Hope remains cross with Rafe for duping her, but Jennifer remains firm that Hope should give her relationship another go

After spotting Vivian and Leo together, Paul concludes there's a story there and asks Leo about his involvement with Vivian

Paul mentions Vivian and Leo's conspiring to Will, who may move forward with his own investigation of the devious duo

Though she attempts to do damage control, Vivian catches on that someone has caught on to her latest sinister schemes

Potential exposure isn't Vivian's only issue, as she has to deal with Stefan, who's completely consumed with Abigail's alter "Gabby"

When Vivian discovers that Stefan and Gabby have a master plan already in action, she confronts her sick son over his plans

Stefan and Vivian's confrontation doesn't end well for Vivian, who finds herself locked up with Marlena

Determined to discover Doc's whereabouts, John seeks out answers from Abigail, who he quickly becomes wary of

Unbeknownst to him, John is right to be skeptical of Abigail, as he's actually questioning "Gabby," who certainly knows all about Marlena's plight

Gabby attempts to cover her tracks, and Stefan steps in to assist, but John's still doubtful of "Abigail" as well as Stefan, so John gets some assistance from Paul

As John and Paul uncover the truth about Marlena, Abigail inches closer to uncovering the truth about Andre's grisly demise

Andre again confronts Abigail in her mind, which may expose who really murdered him, if one of Abigail's alters doesn't interfere first

Gabi's first days in prison after being convicted for Andre's murder are horrible for her, but Eli arrives in hopes of cheering her up

Both Rafe and Chad continue to reject Gabi's conviction and remain totally dedicated to getting it overturned

Knowing he needs more help to crack the case, a reluctant yet optimistic Rafe reaches out to Hope

Rafe wishes for Hope to help him to track down the dark-haired mystery woman Chad spotted in Hong Kong, who could also be on the DiMera security footage

A hesitant Hope agrees to help Rafe find the woman, as she supports Gabi and doesn't believe Rafe's sister is guilty of killing Andre

Kate isn't even looking for the dark-haired mystery woman, but trouble finds Kate, anyway, when she runs into Gabby at the mansion

Kate is shocked when she realizes that Abigail is the woman everyone is seeking out, but, more so, when Gabby attacks her

Though the biggest shock for Kate might be when she learns the truth about Abigail after being locked up with Marlena and Vivian

The three captives aren't exactly simpatico, especially after Vivian shares another doozy of a secret with Marlena and Kate

Seizing on Stefan's unhealthy infatuation with "Gabby," Marlena gives him another warning, but he doesn't want to deal with the truth

A stoic Marlena also makes sure that Stefan knows one truth above all, and that is that John will rescue her

Knowing that Marlena is right about John's persistence, Stefan scrambles to make a plan with Gabby, and they decide to leave Salem for good

Upon cementing their plan to be together, Stefan and Gabby decide to take their relationship to the next level

As passion ignites between Stefan and Gabby, a passionate Chad searches for answers to help Abigail as well as save Gabi from a life behind bars

Chad begins to put the pieces of the sordid story together, which leads him to seek out Stefan for a confrontation

Chad crashes into Stefan's bedroom, unaware Stefan is in bed with Gabby, who attempts to evade him
