Days of our Lives TWIST: Gabi Rescues Philip & Saves Titan – Only to Get Betrayed Afterward?!

Days of Our Lives saw Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier) telling Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez) on their Miami trip that Titan is in big, big financial trouble.
This is the same trip where she opened up about Stefan DiMera (Brandon Barash) being kidnapped by Vivian Alamain (Louise Sorel) and that he died still wanting to be with Gabi.

So, the Stefan news is awful, no doubt, but it might trigger a life-changing end result for Gabi that might also turn out to be life-changing. I wonder if Gabi is going to help Philip out of the jam that he is in. Let’s get into it.

Days of Our Lives: Gabi Hernandez’s Secret Corporate Espionage Against Titan Industries

Gabi’s been hiding a huge secret from Philip for many months. Last year, Gabi had been scheming with Tony DiMera (Thaao Penghlis) to seize control of Titan Industries, which had taken over DiMera Enterprises. As part of their plan, Gabi snuck a pen with a listening device in it into Xander Cook (Paul Telfer) and Philip’s CEO office.

That gave Tony and Gabi power because they found out Philips’ psycho surrogate mom Vivian Alamain had forged the letter from Victor Kiriakis (John Aniston) that led to Philip getting half the company. Gabi and Tony found out that Xander found out about it and beat Philip nearly to death.

The forgery info and the assault info they got illegally was what allowed Tony to demand that Xander and Philip hand over DiMera Enterprises, which they had scored in a corporate takeover. They got some money out of the transaction, but in the end, it left Titan in a very precarious position, one that not even one smutty book could dig them out of.

Tony DiMera’s Betrayal and Theo Carver’s Growing Obsession on DOOL

Then if you remember, Tony double-crossed Gabi because Tony had promised Gabi the CEO position at DiMera Enterprises if she helped him get the dirt on Xander and Philip. But Tony never ever planned to honor that deal.
Instead, he brought in his nephew Theo Carver (Cameron Johnson) to take over as CEO of DiMera Enterprises. Then, Tony up and left town and, of course, then was kidnapped. Now, Theo knows all about Gabi’s treachery. Theo knows that Gabi planted the bug.

He also knows that if Philip found out about it, he would probably break up with Gabi in an instant. And then this week, Theo is daydreaming about being with Gabi and kissing Gabi and sweeping her off her pretty little feet. Poor Jada Hunter (Elia Cantu) had no idea that’s where Theo’s head was when she caught him drifting off into thought when they were out at the pub on their Valentine’s Day date. Jada thought Theo was just distracted because their last dinner date at the pub didn’t happen because Peter Blake (Dan Gauthier) kidnapped Theo.

Philip Kiriakis Confesses the Truth About Titan’s Looming Bankruptcy on Days of Our Lives

But back over to Gabi. So, she’s off in Miami enjoying a little Heart’s Day holiday trip with Philip. And he’s been super understanding about Gabi’s melancholy over losing Stefan and finding out the ugly truth of it all.

And that’s when Philip made his own confession that could prompt Gabi to try and make amends. Of course, Philip wouldn’t know that she’s making amends because Gabi’s still lying to him about planting the bug.

But you can see that she’s torn and she’s thinking about telling Philip the truth about spying on him and Xander. She almost confessed, but then Gabi saw that Philip was breaking out all over because he’d gotten stung by a jellyfish.

So instead of apologizing, Gabi took a hot shower with him and then was rubbing hydrocortisone on him. Then, talk turned to them flying commercial to Miami instead of private. Philip confessed to Gabi the reason they didn’t take the company jet was finances. Philip can’t afford any business expenses like flying him and Gabi on the Titan private plane to Miami.

Gabi’s Guilt Over Victor Kiriakis’ Legacy and the Family Mansion on Days of Our Lives

And Philip also told Gabi that a big loan is coming due soon and his late father Victor’s mansion is the collateral for the loan. Titan’s been struggling since Xander and Philip had to split Titan and DiMera back apart. Gabi looked really worried when Philip was telling her this.

Not only does Gabi care a lot for Philip, but she also feels totally guilty for screwing Philip over with these dirty corporate games. I mean, Gabi was double-crossed by Tony, but that’s not Philip’s fault or Xander’s. Right now, things are great for Gabi. She got Gabi Chic away from Titan and DiMera. And she’s happy successfully running her business.

Meanwhile, Philip’s worried he’s going to lose his father’s legacy, the company. And the family home. And Gabi’s actions led to that. That’s a much worse double-cross than what Tony did to Gabi. And to make it worse, Philip is head over heels for the woman who betrayed him.

Days of Our Lives: Gabi Hernandez Set to Become an Extremely Wealthy DiMera Widow

So this week, it seems like Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering) is going to get confirmation from the FBI’s handwriting expert that Stefan’s signature on the divorce docs was forged. And that means Gabi is not his ex-wife, she is Stefan’s widow.

And this week, EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) was telling Cat Greene (AnnaLynne McCord) that Stefano DiMera’s (Joseph Mascolo) last will and testament is going to be read very soon. So, in the next couple of weeks, we could see Gabi go from successful businesswoman to that plus being an extremely wealthy widow worth a whole bunch more zeros.

I’m sure EJ and the other DiMeras might hate it, but Gabi could rake in a big chunk of Stefano’s estate. Even better, it would absolutely enrage Vivian. But I doubt Gabi can sit on that pile of inherited cash while she watches Philip lose everything, especially knowing that she played a role in it.

Could a Titan Bailout Save Philip and Gabi’s Relationship?

So, we could see Gabi going to Philip and Xander. She might offer an investment to help Titan out, or Gabi might do one better and just go buy their loan from the bank and then give them more favorable terms.

She could do that actually, maybe even anonymously. But if she came in and offered an investment or some assistance, she could tell Philip that, you know, I’ll bail you out if you give me some equity in Titan.

That way it could seem like a business reason for her making this investment and not her doing it out of guilt if Gabi is not going to come clean to Philip.

Will Theo Leak the Truth and Destroy Gabi’s Future on DOOL?

But there could be a hitch in Gabi’s plan to help Philip if Theo keeps daydreaming about Gabi and decides he has to have her. Right now, Theo seems to be enjoying his time with Jada and the feeling seems to be mutual.

But we know from confirmed Days of Our Lives spoilers that Shawn-Douglas Brady (Brandon Beemer) is with Jada soon, all coupled up. So, she might dump Theo over his fixation on Gabi if she figures it out. I mean, Jada is a detective. And Theo may turn around and spill the tea on Gabi’s corporate espionage for a very personal reason to break up her and Philip.

Theo might want to keep his name out of it so Gabi doesn’t find out that he blabbed, but he could leak the info indirectly to Philip or Xander. He could send it as an anonymous tip, tell Xander if he promises to keep it private. And then reveal that Gabi planted a bug in their office. Things may get pretty messy if Theo decides to play dirty to try and break up Gabi and Philip.

And in the meantime, wait to see if Gabi helps Philip when and if she gets that big pile of DiMera dollars because she is a DiMera widow. The big question from there is if Gabi bails out Titan, but Philip then finds out that Gabi spied on him and Xander, will Philip stick with her? Will he forgive Gabi or will he walk away from her for her sneaking and lying?
