Chad and Abby invited André and Kate to move back into the mansion, and André noticed Chad and Gabi getting close, though he stood by his belief that Chad and Abby were meant to together, but Kate wanted Chad and Gabi to get together. Abby broke up with Chad and he and Gabi got together. After Chad was lost in a plane crash, André married Kate, so she could be CEO of DiMera Enterprises, since the board deemed André as unstable. André and Theo helped Abby delete the photo of Chad standing over Deimos’ dead body, wiping the knife clean. Dario Hernandez was using the photo to blackmail Abby into staying married to him. Abby and Chad reconciled once the whole truth came out.
