I like will's investigative ideas He's thinking with his brain I also like the dynamics with Kayla and will and Abby's relationship Something the show frequently seems to forget until it's convenient Great chapter Thank you  |

“Thank you, sorry I woke you up…Damn it,” Will hung up the phone. “I just talked to the Barons’ old neighbor in England. Eve’s adoptive parents have been dead for years.”
“Great,” Abigail scoffed, pouring a second glass of wine. “So, apart from a séance, how are we going to get any new dirt on Eve? Ever since she came to town, I just…I just feel like my dad can’t rest in peace.”
“I get it” Will assured her. “Hey, maybe your dad’s the key. Maybe the lawsuit wasn’t the first time she tried to get her hands on his money.”
Abigail sipped her wine, thinking. “When I was growing up, Dad told me that he had everything a little boy could want when he was my age. Everything expect love, and he certainly didn’t get it from Eve either.”
“How much money did your grandfather have?” Will wanted to know.
“I don’t know,” Abigail shrugged. “I remember that because it was one of the only things Dad said about the guy.” She learned over and typed “Deveraux” into the open Ewe Search browser on Will’s laptop.
Will looked. “There are articles about you, your dad, and JJ, and some senator named Harper.”
“That’s must be it. My dad’s middle name was Harcourt.” Abigail clicked the link. “I don’t believe this,” she cried, and read on in a whisper. “’Senator Harper Deveraux’s political career is eclipsed by the reign of terror he conducted in Salem under the serial killer alias The Riverfront Knifer. Deveraux targeted prostitutes and other women who he considered to be immoral, attacking ten. Five of the women—Eve Donovan, Gabrielle Pascal, Paula Carson, Kimberly Donovan, and the senator’s own daughter-in-law, Kayla Brady Deveraux—survived. The senator met his demise at the hands of his adopted son, Jack, who claimed self-defense. Senator Deveraux’s two million dollar fortune remained hotly contested for some time after his death.’” Abigail sighed. “It doesn’t say if Eve was involved in taking the money.”
Will smiled. "It explains why she was so mad about the settlement. She's been cheated out of Deveraux money before."
"You think it'll work?" Abigail asked.
"I think Zoe will take anything that she thinks will beat Victor and Nicole." Will replied. "It's like you said: If it's in print, it's gospel."

I like the use of dool history
Many viewers don't know the story between jack and eve and to be totally honest I had to go back and refresh as I was young when that story went down
It's nice when these references are made
I wish the show would do this more rather than a flash back from five minutes ago

I agree with doolfan4life. This was a great use of history. I'm enjoying seeing Will and Abby investigate together. |

Justin led JJ into his office. “To what do I owe the pleasure? I’d love to have a sit-down conversation, but I’m afraid you’re gonna have to make this quick.”
“Abby’s been spending all of her time with Will and Ari because she promised Gabi she would look after them while Sonny was visiting Alex. Does that sound like some kind of hardened drug lord to you, Uncle Justin?”
“All I can tell you is that Seth Burns has yet to file charges.”
“Because there won’t be any, or because he just hasn’t done it yet?”
“I don’t know, JJ. What I do know is I have an entire police force poised to arrest Clyde Weston.”
JJ’s threw up his hands. “You guys don’t have Weston yet?”
“Don’t worry, it’s only a matter of time before we find him.”
“Yeah, you’ll find him,” JJ shouted. “You’ll probably find him in Paige’s hospital room trying to finish her off!”
“That’s not gonna happen.” Justin put a reassuring hand on JJ’s shoulder.
“How do you know?”
“Because Shane Donovan has that place guarded to the hilt.”
“Then how’d I get in there to visit her for ten minutes before anyone noticed, huh? Your phone’s ringing “
“I hear it. And you need to hear something too…very clearly. The last thing your mother needs is both of her children in trouble.”
JJ let out a bored sigh. He was not in the mood for lectures, so he slipped out while he uncle was distracted.
“Justin Kiriakis. Which cell tower? So the fugitive and his son on Smith Island.”
It had taken twice as long to drive to the docks this way and JJ almost the ferry, because Roman had ordered roadblocks on all of the main highways for five miles. Luckily, for JJ, he and Abigail had spent their childhoods exploring back roads and winding pathways, so he had an inkling of where to go.
“Put your hands up!”
“Okay,” JJ whispered. “Okay, I’ll do whatever you want.”

Ooh... this should be good. And when is anyone going to figure out that telling JJ not to get in the middle of a dangerous situation is a surefire way for him to end up in the middle of it?
Looking forward to previews!

This is exciting! I can't wait to see who JJ's ally is too. Could be Theresa as well I suppose. Or Ben rebelled against Clyde.

For the record, JJ doesn’t have a magical car that can float across the water to Smith Island. I fixed that scene.
“You’ll do whatever I want?” Hope put her gun back in the holster. “Why don’t you start by telling me what you’re doing here, JJ."
“I called him,” Roman replied, his features coming into relief as he stepped out of the shadows. “I’ll take it from here.”
Hope shrugged, looking unhappy but outranked. “I’ll go back to making notifications, then.”
JJ was grateful for the smooth lie and was about to say so when Roman spoke first. “Don’t thank me. You’re stuck here until the next ferry as it is. The way I see it: if you’re old enough to risk your neck for the operation, then you’re old enough to see it through. But you do it our way. No more sneaking up on armed people, understood? Put this on.”
JJ caught the Kevlar vest. “You think they’re in our cabin.”
Roman shook his head. “They were until they started to fill heat. Rafe found the abandoned stash. Stay back. I’ve got to let these campers know to shelter in place.”
JJ took cover in the overgrown flowerbed of the old Thompson place and watched as Roman knocked next door. Apparently satisfied that no one was home, he started in JJ’s direction.
Then it happened
“Down!” Roman shouted, a bullet whizzing by his ear, as glass from the blown out window of the shed behind him sprayed the ground.
Footsteps approached the crouched men. “Look what we have here,” Clyde drawled. “Sherlock Holmes and his pet rat.”
“Let the boy go, Weston,” said Roman. “I’m all you need.”
“Thanks, but no thanks,” Clyde laughed, grabbing Roman’s service weapon off of the ground so that he was double-fisted. “See I have plans for him too. Inside, both of you!” JJ and Roman allowed themselves to be marched. “We’ve got guests,” Clyde announced to Ben. “Tie Junior up.”
“Why are you doing this?” JJ asked Ben. “My sister is having your baby. Why would you and your dad set her up?”
“The OB was clear at our last ultrasound. The baby is three weeks ahead of schedule, so I knew it wasn’t mine. As for why, well, your sister’s a cheating piece of trash.”
“Bastard,” JJ growled.
“Watch your mouth! Argghh!” Blowing air through gritted teeth, Clyde grasped his wounded shoulder, dropping both guns in the process. Hope and Rafe closed in on him, their own weapons drawn. "
The police chief down in Florida can't wait to see you, Clyde," Hope smiled. "I bet we'll all be on her Christmas card list this year. Do you anything to say for yourself?"
"For once in my life, I've done right by my son." The officers looked around, but Ben had disappeared into the woods.
"JJ!" Roman shouted as the younger man gave chase.

I'm glad JJ had the bulletproof vest, unlike in the show last week. Having Hope catch him was a great twist! That's so very JJ to go off on his own after Ben too. Great chapter sudsyclassix! Can't wait for more. (Also I was wondering how JJ drove to Smith Island. Thanks for fixing that) |

JJ sped up when he heard a splash, ducking the last of the trees and coming into the clearing besides the bank of the Salem River. Not quite aware of himself or what he was doing, JJ dove in. “You don’t…get out of this…that easy,” he huffed, his jeans becoming waterlogged. “Help me!”
“My God,” Roman cried as he burst into the clearing. He waded out and helped JJ drag Ben’s unconscious body to shore before starting compressions. “Breathe, Ben, come on!”
“Stones in his pockets,” JJ reported.
“Well, it’s a good thing you got to him in time.” Roman loo. ked up. “You did the right thing, you know. I don’t know if I would’ve done that at your age.”
JJ shrugged. “I almost didn’t, but all I was thinking about was how much he needed to pay for framing Abby and hurting Paige.”
“And now he will. This is Brady,” Roman spoke into his walkie-talkie. “I need a medevac here on Smith Island, ASAP! Two suspects injured. CPR in progress. ”
“Copy that, Commissioner.”
“I want this man on 24/7 suicide watch,” Roman told the uniformed officer outside of Ben’s room. "A crafty man who has lost his will to live is a bad combination."
“Roman,” Justin greeted.
“Dr. Jonas hasn’t cleared anyone for questioning yet.”
“We have a bigger problem. We drew Judge Tyler for Clyde's murder and attempted murder case, and he’s all about defendants being able to face their accusers. Now, I can squeak past arraignment with Rafe backing up Paige’s written statement but sooner or later, she’ll have to testify in court.”
“Justin, be reasonable, the girl can’t speak! You'll have to give her time."
"Trust me, I argued the point, and I was promptly reminded of Clyde's right to a speedy trial. This was one of the worst judges we could have possibly gotten. I just hope this doesn't make us lose the case."
"Here's a thought, Justin, don't let that happen."
