Can’t wait to find out what Parker names the dog!
Curious what Jennifer’s phone call is about. And about Marlena’s idea for John.
Thanks for the previews!

Guess for dog name- Bernie (but I’m hoping for Murphy)
Guess for Jennifer- she called Celeste(psychic reading because her kids are out of control trying to live without her)
Guess for Marlena- I’m hoping she can’t find the strawberries and is trying to get John to volunteer coaching softball for kids

Chapter 508d
Driving back from the shelter, Parker sat in the back seat of the car with one arm around the dog’s torso and the dog resting its head on Parker’s lap.
“Do you know what name you want to give your dog, Parker?”
“It’s between two choices,” Parker answered.
“So you’ve given this some thought already,” Philip noted. “What are the two choices?”
Parker held up one finger. “First one is Mr. Darcy.”
“Mr. Darcy?? Where did that come from?” Philip asked.
“From Mommy’s fav’rite book. I forget what it was called but she said Mr. Darcy was like the idea man. I mean ideal.”
“I know who she was talking about. He’s a character from the book Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austin.” He remembered that being Chloe’s favorite book ever since they read it in 10th grade English Lit.
“Mommy said Mr. Darcy looks like you.”
“Me?” Philip didn’t think Chloe ever saw the movie version of the book, but maybe he was wrong. He was a character in a book. Or maybe Mr. Darcy looked like Philip in Chloe’s imagination.
“Yeah. I asked what he looked like and she said he looks like you.”
Philip smiled a little, knowing that was the highest compliment he could get. “That was nice of her. Um, so what’s the other idea for your dog’s name?”
“Orion.”
“Orion! Well, I know where that name comes from.”
“I’m thinking Orion is better than Mr. Darcy,” Parker mused.
“Why’s that?”
“On account of it’s only one word so it’s shorter and easier to tell people why I chose that name. I just have to be able to pronounce con um con.”
“Constellation,” Philip offered. “You know the word. Sound it out with me.” The two of them said it together. “Con-stell-a-tion.” Philip glanced at Parker in the rearview mirror. “Very good. So is it decided? Your dog’s name is Orion?”
“Yeah!”
Welcome, Orion,
to the Kiriakis family!

Awww Orion! Good choice esp with the nod to Victor/Philips constellation and mythology talks.

I love the name!!!!
I also think that part of Parker's choice in Orion is that Philip is there and Chloe is not. I think that was part of Philip's reasoning too.

Chapter 509a
At her office in the hospital, Jennifer answered the phone. “Jennifer Deveraux.”
“Jennifer. It’s Rafe.”
Her eyes widened. “Oh my god. Did something happen to Abigail?”
“No, I—”
“JJ? Is he alright?”
“As far as I know. Jennifer, this isn’t a business call.”
“Oh.” She breathed a sigh of relief. “Okay. Well, what can I do for you?”
Rafe looked at the hand that wasn’t holding the phone and noticed it was clammy. “I was wondering if you’d like to have lunch with me.”
“Why?”
Not the reaction he’d hoped for. “Just because. I eat lunch alone every day and I thought it might be a nice change of pace to have a pretty blond across the table from me.”
Another moment of silence passed. “Um. Are you … are you asking me out on a date?”
“Yes, and please don’t say ‘why’ again.”
Jennifer laughed a little. “Would it be okay if I got back to you on that?”
Her tone was so business-like that Rafe wondered if someone walked into her office. “Sure. Get back to me. But don’t wait too long,” he added. “This is a limited time offer.”
Jennifer smiled again. “I promise to get back to you within 24 hours.”
“Okay. Talk to you soon.”
~~~
As soon as Jennifer ended the call with Rafe, she hit a speed dial number and breathlessly told the person who answered, “I need to see you right away. Horton Square. Usual spot.”

My guess is that Jennifer just called Hope.

I think I recall rafe is hopes ex in this story so maybe she’s just making sure it’s ok
