Belle runs off to get the doctor as Susan assures EJ he’s safe and Susan joins her outside shortly to say they should both go back in to boost his energy. Susan leaves Belle behind, where she admits to herself that she’s thankful he’s OK, “I’m just not sure I’m ready to face him yet.”
Susan heads back where EJ’s struggling to drink. After a coughing fit, he manages to ask what happened. She tells him he was shot in the chest, which means he saw who did it. “Who was it that shot you?”
His head’s fuzzy, but he manages to whisper out for Susan to tell him more, hoping it’ll trigger something. She tells him what she knows, but it doesn’t help much. EJ says he remembers seeing someone. Just then Belle walks in and he says it was her. “Belle. I remember what you did.”
Susan starts freaking out at Belle, but EJ clarifies that he remembers her wire betrayal. Susan chastises Belle, “You wanted to send my boy to prison?? You just said you loved him!” EJ stares, then asks Susan to leave. “Is it true? Do you love me?”
Susan Spooks Gabi and Cat
Gabi’s eating in the square when she sees a call from JJ, which she ignores. Cat walks over and joins her and the two catch up since they haven’t seen each other since Vancouver. Gabi jumps right into asking what the “deal” is with Cat and Chad. She could see the sparks between them, which Cat downplays.
They’re friends and that’s it. “Just friends, huh?” No sparks while working together? Cat thinks back to the sparks between them, then lies about it. She asks if Gabi and JJ are coming to the fundraiser and gets the story about why they’re no longer together, what with the murder accusation and all.
