Sage is drinking and Gabriel walks over and says, “Look at you I feel I am one drink ahead of you. I guess you have not heard there is a big event downstairs Billy and Chelsea are getting married.” Sage sarcastically says, “Boo hoo I never could see what you saw in her.” Gabriel responds, “Really I never saw what you saw in my brother a big bland moron. You have the worse taste in men!”

Sage is really upset and tells Gabriel how he could never live up to Gabriel Bingham. Gabriel was nice and everyone loved him. Gabriel pulls her over and kisses her – she pushes him away looks at him then pulls him back and they start making out.

That is it SOS fans! Now that Billy knows that Chelsea and Gabriel slept together it looks like Billy is setting up something big and nasty to happen at his wedding to Chelsea.  What do you think he is going to do, you know it’s going to be nothing nice!  Were you surprised that Gabriel agreed to work with Victor or is this a Machavalian ploy to keep your enemies closer? Victor did say he keeps his enemies close but there is no reason Adam can’t follow the same strategy.  Do you think Victoria is really trying to get Ashley to quit?
