Poor Rafe! He was left devastated after learning that Zoe had won custody of David and that he would have to say goodbye. It broke our heart to see him struggle to keep calm as he explained to David that he was going away. Galen did a great job in the emotional scenes opposite Kristian Alfonso as she comforted him.

It was good to have Lucas back!!! We’ve certainly missed him. Lucas returned to Salem with a bang confronting Kate about helping out a troubled Allie despite him and Sami cutting her off. Lucas calling out Kate’s hypocrisy about staying out of her children’s business was HILARIOUS!
