End of the Road
When Rafe (Galen Gering) told Vivian (Louise Sorel) that Philip (John-Paul Lavoisier) was dating Gabi (Cherie Jimenez), Vivian made Vivian unhappy face. That’s never a good thing.
That’s how Carly (Crystal Chappell) ended up buried alive, and Kate (Lauren Koslow) had her embryo stolen. When Vivian doesn’t like something, Vivian takes action. And Vivian doesn’t like the idea of Philip with Gabi.
Bringing Out the Big Guns
Vivian claimed that Stefan (Brandon Barash) had died. We knew she was lying, and now, thanks to her fired employee, Rafe and Eli (Leman Archey) know it, too.
So, since the cat is out of the bag, Vivian might as well bring Stefan back to Salem. Surely, the sight of the love of her life will drive Gabi away from Philip for good.
Criss Cross
But won’t that bring Vivian back to square one? Stefan madly in love with Gabi? Nah. Vivian is too smart. She has a backup plan.
Just like seeing Stefan alive will prompt Gabi to turn her back on Philip, seeing Gabi with Philip should be enough to turn Stefan against Gabi. Why hasn’t she been faithful to him? Sure, she thought he’d abandoned her! Sure, she thought he was dead! So what? Stefan clung to the memory of Gabi during his captivity. The least Gabi could have done was wait for him.
Now Stefan doesn’t want her. Philip doesn’t want her. And Vivian puts on her happy Vivian face. Which is even scarier than her unhappy face.
