Danger Man

Chad (Billy Flynn) was sure he was smart enough to outwit Clyde (James Read). Sure, it had never happened before. But that meant he was due, right? Chad was so confident that he didn’t care whose life he had to risk…Cat’s (AnnaLynne McCord)…JJ’s (Casey Most)…Gabi’s (Cherie Jimenez)…to make it happen.

He would have risked his own, but, um, Chad has kids! Yeah, that’s the ticket! Chad can’t put his life at risk because he is Charlotte and Thomas’s (Christopher Cary) only parent. If something were to happen to him, they’d have no one. Sure, Gabi has a kid…but Ari doesn’t even live in Salem. And she was a biological dad, Will, and a whole bonus dad in Sonny. She’ll be fine if something happens to Gabi.

Rescue Me

Luckily, JJ isn’t as chill about Gabi’s life. When Clyde, once again, outsmarts him and puts Gabi in danger, it’s JJ who rushes to the rescue. He’s an ex-cop, after all. Sure, he wasn’t a very good one. And he’s way in over his head now. But at least he’s trying, which is more than Chad can say.

You Gotta Have Friends

Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) blew a gasket when she thought that Ava (Tamara Braun) was moving in on “her” man, Brady (Eric Martsolf). Sure, Brady and Ava denied it, but Kristen wasn’t soothed. (Has Kristen ever been soothed?) Then again, maybe Kristen was on to something. Brady and Ava seem to be having trouble keeping their distance.

Fix Me

Leo (Greg Rikaart) continues to wallow in his particular mix of obnoxious arrogance and bathetic self-pity. And then he wonders why he can’t attract the love of his life. So he turns to Marlena (Deidre Hall) for help. Fix him! Or, at least, convince him that he’s perfect the way he is. Isn’t that her job?
