Rafe Covers His Tracks
Gabi Hernandez is back, but Rafe is already knee-deep in trouble. He claimed to be scrolling online, but he was really retrieving a bug he planted earlier. That bug captured what happened the night of the shooting—and Rafe almost listened to it.
With JJ Deveraux accusing people left and right, Rafe grows more tempted. But if the recording points to Gabi or someone else close to him, can he handle the truth? Gabi vents her frustration, which might push Rafe to share more than planned. On top of that, he’s dealing with fallout from Jada Hunter. She’s furious after learning about his recent bedroom encounter with Sami Brady.
