If we learned one lesson this week on Days of Our Lives, it’s never accept donuts from a murderer. Actually, we feel like that should go without saying, but here we are. Because we’re pretty sure that Bobby may be on death’s bed, all thanks to Connie!

Yesterday, she dropped off some tasty pastries, ostensibly for Bobby to use to woo Jada back. (If you missed it, you can read the recap here.) We thought the real reason for her visit was to steal his room card, break in, and frame him for Rafe’s murder. And, well, that’s exactly what she did today.

But then we watched something come over Bobbie when he went to visit Jada. By the time he made it back to his room, he could barely stand. And when Jada and Stephanie showed up at his doorstep, he was slipping into unconsciousness.

So Connie must have drugged Bobby’s donuts when she stopped by to frame him. Which makes perfect sense… if you’re a sociopath. Locking him up for Rafe’s murder would be one thing, but he could still blab about Connie and he wouldn’t shut up until he was exonerated. But framing him and killing him? Folks would be all too eager to accept that someone they all knew was mentally ill was the killer, mourn his passing and move on.

Now, if she was really careful, Connie overdosed him with the same medication he was prescribed to help deal with his mental problems. A foreign toxin in his body would be far too suspicious. So while overdosing would kill the body, his own antipsychotic drugs could affect the mind, too. Maybe a little too much!

Connie’s attack could  kill her biggest threat — just not quite in the way she thought. It would be the end of Bobby, but not Everett! And it wouldn’t even take all that costly and timely therapy and integration.

Maybe Everett survives the overdose, but the drug’s shock to the system wipes out Bobby. And if he “dies” before reintegrating, Everett may never get his alter’s memories back. Connie’s secret would be safe and she could pull back and let Everett go about life, happy and oblivious to her murdering ways.

Clearly, that’s not how medications work in real life. Overdosing doesn’t make them super effective. It just makes them potentially deadly. But in Salem? Connie may have unwittingly solved not just her own Bobby problem, but everyone’s.
