"Days Of Our Lives" soap recap

Fans are wondering what happens to Ciara’s case against Chase. Her friends took the matter to their own hands and abducted Chase to be confronted by Ciara. It was during that time when Ciara confessed everything to Hope. However, when Hope brought it up to the authorities, they said they don’t have a case because Chase hasn’t signed an official confession. Ciara was disappointed upon learning this, and felt like she won’t get the justice that she deserved. To take her mind off things, she decided to throw a big birthday bash. For her birthday, Hope gave her a meaningful present – keys to Bo’s '67 Mustang. Ciara was beyond happy with Hope’s gift. However, Ciara was seen later downing a bottle of tequila, clearly still upset over what happened.
