Abigail finally receives answers from Ava, who deviously decides to use the scandalous situation to her advantage
Ava arms Abigail with the truth bomb she'll need to blow Gwen's dreams of "happily ever after" apart at the seams
Meanwhile, Ava's arrangement agitates Rafe and Gabi, who seemed sure the former mafia madam would meet a life behind bars
Though Gabi's outraged her plot was foiled, she should be concerned, as Ms. Vitali's appetite for vengeance is legendary
As Gabi stews, Rafe becomes rattled when he learns the love of Nicole's life, Eric Brady, is back in Salem
Upon seeing Eric, Nicole is equally as rattled, but the exes quickly catch up despite the initial shock

Believing the devil is done with them, Ben and Ciara spend a blissful moment deciding on a name for their baby boy
It's a sentimental selection seemingly plucked from their dreams for Ben and Ciara, while Clyde faces his new nightmare

Having had a helping of bolstering from Bonnie, Nancy's re-found confidence comes in handy with Clyde and with Craig's upcoming nuptials
Chloe remains crushed that Craig is set to marry lecherous Leo, but Brady is right by her side for support
While Brady comforts Chloe, like Abigail with Gwen, Chad's lined up one heck of a bombshell, sure to blow Leo's dreams apart at the seams
Leo seems confident that his big day will go off without a hitch, and Craig seems as confident in Leo's love for him
Leo even makes a good faith gesture to ensure that Craig and his loved ones believe in his commitment
Still, Leo lies a lot, and Chad arrives at the wedding with a wild card who exposes Mr. Stark's sordid secret
While Leo's lies go down in flames, Abigail ignites a firestorm for Gwen by proving her half-sister is a horribly horrible person
Thanks to Ava's agreement with the D.A., a guilty Gwen gets roasted when Abigail shares the traumatizing truth
Abigail announces that her half-sister knew all about Sarah's sad situation, did nothing, and even made it worse
The congregation is aghast by Gwen's alleged actions, and Jack jumps in to demand the truth from his demented daughter
A gutted Gwen is enraged by Abigail outing her dirty deeds and causes even more commotion at the would-be ceremony
