More Stress For Rafe (Read 86 times)

[Deleted]

At the courthouse, Rafe is still beating himself up about Gabi's predicament. Jordan tries to comfort him but he says she can't possibly understand his past mistakes with his sisters because she wasn't there. Hope shows up with one last issue to discuss about Gabi and Rafe tells Jordan that she should probably leave. She offers to stay but he prefers to deal with Hope in private. Hope reveals that she has learned about Gabi's involvement with Andrew & Melanie. She says that although the case is closed, it will still be made public. Hope feels that Maggie and Daniel should learn about it before all of Salem does and Rafe wants to be the one to tell Daniel.

Much later at Club TBD, Rafe consoles himself with a beer. He receives a call from Mama Hernandez and he goes over the details of Gabi's plea agreement with her. He tells his heart-broken mother not to cry...that it is a good deal. He promises to check on Gabi in prison and make sure that she is alright. On the other end, Mama presumably tells him that he promised to take care of his sisters before and the call ends. Rafe drinks his beer as Jordan stands in the background, agonizing over his sad state.

Rafe seems like he's heading for a deep depression. Under the circumstances, I can certainly understand it. I think he is going to push Jordan away, and to that, I say yay.

Not sure it's going to be good for Gabi if it gets out in her prison that her brother's a cop.

Maybe this will give Rafe a good story. At least I can hope.

For some reason, when you said this I had a premonition that Rafe and Sami will sleep together after she finds out about EJ's infidelity. That will be coming full circle, since Rafe and Sami broke up when she cheated on him with EJ during grief sex.

Oooh good idea Kpatch!

I feel sorry for Jordan. She has slept with Rafe, but in reality she really doesn't know squat about him, his moods or his family history. She has no idea how to help him.

Perhaps Nicole & Rafe will find comfort in each other's arms as well. There are a lot of people hurting in Salem right now, but I'd say Rafe's problems are the worst.

Relationships are a two-way street. She might know a lot more about Rafe if she weren't so closed off about her own life. I don't think they can have any kind of real intimacy until she shares the truth about herself with him.

I wouldn't mind Nicole and Rafe comforting each other a little bit - probably more as friends though. I was kind of suprised Daniel didn't share any of the Nicole saga with Rafe but I guess he was too stunned after Rafe telling him about Melanie and Gabi.

I liked Rafe and Hope's scenes together. It was obvious that she knew Rafe had been hiding Gabi's secret and she understood that he was trying to protect his sister and now regretted it for many reasons.

Dear Nicole...your friend Rafe was there to pull you out of your depression. I think now's the time to return the favor.

I feel so bad for Rafe!

I like this idea, I always thought Galen and Ari had great chemistry together. Plus they show needs to shake things up a bit. Nicole desperately needs out of the whole Eric/Jennifer/Daniel situation.
