Hope told Ciara that they couldn't take their punishment out on Chase because he's been through a lot. Ciara agreed, but wanted to know when Bo and Hope were getting remarried. Theresa wanted to know how Brady felt about her. Brady wasn't sure how he felt about her. Maggie walked in before Brady could tell how he felt. Nicole had an awkward encounter with Flynn (Daniel's friend). Hope still couldn't believe Bo was back. Hope apologized to Bo to him for what happened to him. Bo was okay with everything. He wanted to wait to talk about the future. Flynn wanted to take Nicole out until he found out she's with Daniel. Victor ran into Brady at the hospital and he told him about Aiden being the killer and Bo being home. Bo promised Hope that he'd be there for her. He left to give her some time alone. Hope broke down when Bo left. Victor warned Brady not to fall for Theresa. Brady wouldn't listen to him. Bo ran into Shawn at the town square. They talked about Hope. Theresa and Brady met at the pub to talk about their relationship. Nicole saw Brady and Theresa kissing. Jennifer went to see Hope. Hope let Jennifer know that she's struggling to deal with what Aiden did. Jennifer wanted Hope to stay with her. Nicole asked Brady what was going on with Theresa. Brady said Theresa changed. Shawn and Bo continued to talk about Hope. Hope and John told Ciara that they were moving in with Jennifer. Ciara didn't want to do that. Victor saw Theresa dancing around and wanted to throw her out of his house. Ciara asked Hope if she loved Bo and she said she did. Hope wasn't sure if it would ever be the same with him. Shawn D called Kayla to tell him about Bo being hurt and that he needed help.
Daniel: Nicole, hello. Did I do something? Nicole: You did nothing. Daniel: Then why are you looking at me like that? Nicole: You didn't take care of the limo. You didn't ask the caterer if they had a vegan substitute. You didn't do anything on the list. Honey, this wedding isn't gonna plan itself. Daniel: Okay, yeah, you know, I've just been kind of busy. I had to step in for Dr. McGreggor on a sigmoid resection. I can't seem to get the screening levels here and just-- [Sighs] Never mind. Nicole: What about hope? How's she doing? Daniel: Well, physically, she's doing a lot better. We sent her home. Nicole: Such an nightmare. Daniel: Yeah. Okay, you know what? On a lighter note... Nicole: Mm. Daniel: As soon as I'm done with my shift, I promise I will take care of the limo... what's the other thing? What? Nicole: You didn't write it down? You didn't put it on your to-do list? Daniel: No, no, look, I thought you would remind me. Nicole: Daniel. Daniel. Daniel: Okay, what? Nicole: Are you getting cold feet? Daniel: Co--no! No, no, now you're just being silly. No, I--look, I promise I will take care of everything. Nicole: Just forget it. [SCENE_BREAK] Brady: Hi. Theresa: Hi, yourself. Brady: So last night was, um... Theresa: Yeah, it was... in so many ways. Brady: Here's a suggestion. Uh, why don't we treat this like adults? Theresa: Yeah. Brady: We slept together last night, and it's not a big deal. Theresa: It is to me. Brady: What changed? Theresa: How can--how can you even ask that, Brady? [SCENE_BREAK] Jennifer: All right, JJ, just call me when you get this, okay? Both: Oh! Oh! Jennifer: Aunt Maggie! Maggie: [Laughs] Jennifer: I am so sorry. Maggie: No, no, no. We just almost had a cleanup on aisle eight. Jennifer: That would have just capped off our day, right? Maggie: Yes, absolutely. Jennifer: Can I give you a hand, please? Maggie: No, uh, no, uh... it looks like you have a big enough load for the both of us. What's bothering you, sweetheart? Jennifer: Oh, just, uh, JJ wants to join the police force, and I don't want him to, and roman won't talk him out of it. Abigail is somewhere with Ben. I have no idea. She won't tell me where she is. I almost knock all of this food out of your hands, and... and I feel like I don't have a right to be upset about anything, considering what hope is going through. Maggie: Yeah. Bo: Take it easy, man. Just, just--we want to talk to you for a second, all right? Give me a minute. Now, obviously, I have no idea what you're going through, but we're here for you as a family, and this home-- it's your home. Ciara: I hope you're not mad at me for telling 'em where you were. I was just worried, that's all. I better go finish my homework. Bo: Ciara... chase could use a friend right now, you know, someone to talk to. Ciara: I'm sorry, but I can't talk to him right now... not yet, anyway... not after what his father tried to do to you, mom! Hope: Ciara, please. Ciara: This is really hard for me, okay? Why can't you understand that? I don't feel safe around him! [Door slams] Daniel: Forget it? What, the wedding? Nicole: [Laughs] Now you're just being silly. Daniel: Ah. Nicole: Oh, just forget about the three things I asked you to do. You are busy, okay? I can take care of it. Daniel: No, you're just as busy as I am, trying to get basic black off the ground. So, please, let me do something. Nicole: No, no, no, nobody, no, no, no! You are officially off the hook. Listen... I am going to be a doctor's wife. This is good practice. [Cell phone beeps] Daniel: Mm-hmm. Nicole: Uh-huh. Daniel: Yep. Nicole: Now look at your phone. [Cell phone beeps] Nicole: Look at it. Look at it! [Cell phone beeps] Daniel: [Sighs] All right. Ah! I got to go! Nicole: Okay. Daniel: Okay, you know, I could bake the cake. Nicole: No, get. Go, good-bye! [Chuckles] Brady: Look, T-Theresa, I was only asking because I want-- Theresa: Because you forgot. Brady: Forgot? Theresa: That I love you. I mean, I told you that, but, hey, I guess it wasn't really that momentous, so it must have slipped your mind. Brady: Didn't slip my mind... but... Theresa: But what, Brady? I mean, how could that not have an effect on how I feel about going to bed with you? Brady: I'm sorry if I appeared to be insensitive. Theresa: It wasn't easy for me to tell you that I love you... and, um... what I have to tell you right now--it's not gonna be easy either, but, um... Brady: Go on. Theresa: Look, Brady... if you don't love me back, then this whole thing's got to end. Maggie: Jenn, have you had a chance to talk to hope at all since she's been back home? Jennifer: No, not really. I really want to give her and Bo their space. And, honestly, I don't even know what to say to someone who's been through what she's been through. Maggie: [Sighs] Mm. Honey, I-- I really don't think you need to worry about what to say. I mean, you and hope are so close. It would just-- it would mean so much to her that you're just there with her. Jennifer: You're right. No, you're right, and thank you for always making me see things so clearly. Maggie: [Chuckles] You just take care of yourself, okay, sweetheart? Jennifer: Yeah, yeah, I will. Yes. Love you, aunt Maggie, so much. Maggie: Oh, honey. I love you too. Jennifer: Bye. Bo: Little one, I-I hear what you're saying. I do. And I understand you being protective of your mom... but she's home. She's safe now, and what happened to her had nothing at all to do with chase. Hope: My god. He's been through so much in his life. Look what's happened, honey. Look what's happened to him. He has no mother, and he's just lost his father... who he now knows is capable of murder. Baby, chase is in shock and traumatized, not to mention the terrible grief, the sadness of losing the one parent he had. Look, no matter what, he loved his dad. And his dad loved him more than anything in the world. That... that I do know. Ciara: [Sniffles] Hope: Ciara, Ciara, baby, I'm sorry. Ciara: [Sniffles] Hope: [Crying] I'm sorry my judgment was so poor with Aiden. Please forgive me. I'm so sorry, sorrier than you'll ever know, baby. And you have every right to be upset and angry, but, please, for me... you can't take it out on chase, please. Okay? Ciara: I don't want to take it out on anyone. [Cries, sniffles] And I'm sorry --I shouldn't have said that I don't feel safe around him. I'll apologize for that, but do you really think that chase wants to hear us go on and on about how we feel sorry for him? Like you said, he's traumatized. I think he just needs to spend some time by himself. Can we just--can we just discuss something happier... like the two of you guys being back together after such a long time? Which is totally awesome and amazing. I have a great idea. Why don't you guys set up a date to get married again? Nicole: [Sighs] This DJ plays nothing but heavy metal. That's not gonna work. What? No, no, I'm sorry. I wasn't talking to you. Okay, so Milan is coming up and-- [Cell phone beeps] Nicole: Hang on. Look, I really got to take this call, okay? We'll catch up later. Thanks. [Cell phone beeps] Nicole: Hey. Yeah, I'm at the hospital. No, no, no, no, don't send him here. Why would I want to check out a male model in the middle of the hospital? All right, look, if traffic isn't bad, I'll get to the pub in ten minutes. Well, just try to get a hold of him. Good. Yes, I'm on my way. Thank you. Okay. Oh! [Sighs] I guess they didn't reach you. Reach me? Yeah, well, good to know you don't pick up your cell phone while you're driving, and you saved me a trip to the Brady pub. Okay, um, wow. I don't know what Kate was thinking when she hired this designer. Hmm. Look, I'm not really thrilled about this whole outfit here. I'm sorry. You're just-- you're not the look that we're trying to go for. Don't get me wrong-- you're really good-looking. You're just not the right look. Fynn: [Chuckles] I'm Fynn Thompson. I'm looking for Daniel. Nicole: [Chuckles] Theresa: So... you have no comment? [Scoffs] I just bared my soul to you yet again, and you have nothing to say. Brady: Theresa, I'm... I'm just taking a moment to process it. Love is an interesting topic. It's complicated... and we obviously need to talk about it some more. Maggie: Well, hello, you two. What's different? [Chuckles] There's something in the air. Theresa: [Chuckles] Maggie: Oh. It's you two. There's something different between you. What is it? Brady: Maggie, um, don't know what you're talking about, but I do have to go to the hospital. I have a board meeting to get to. We will talk later. Maggie: So... are you gonna fill me in? Theresa: [Laughing] Maggie, I am so happy. Hope: My mind is going 100 miles an hour... but my brain's only-- it's only going 20. Thank god you're all right. I'm so relieved you're back. All the shock of what's happened... Bo: Hey, hey, stop. You don't have to explain. I mean, with all that's happened, you just need some time to recover. You've been through an awful lot, you know, with me being gone, not knowing if I cared about you anymore, and... and then the... the guy you chose to move on with-- I'm sorry. Hope: No. Bo: I'm sorry. Hope: No. You've had your own nightmare. So please... don't. It's not just about me. It's about both of us. I'm sorry. I'm sorry for all the pain you endured. Bo: Hey, hey, hey, you know what got me through that? Hope: What? Bo: It was you... having you in my heart always. As far as I was concerned, we were never really apart. Hope: [Sighs] I'm sorry. I-I-I'm just--I'm not... I'm not capable of thinking clearly... right now. I... I don't know if I can make any decisions for a while. Bo: Hey, it's okay, you know? I won't pressure you. I'm here, and you know how much I love you... okay? And when the time is right, we'll... we'll talk about the future, okay? What are you thinking? Hope: That I, um... I feel my whole life has been turned upside down. I can't hang on. How do I hang on? [Sighs] I'm only in my 60'S. Nicole: Fynn Thompson. Fynn: Yeah. Nicole: As in Dr. Fynn Thompson... who used to work with Daniel at Lockhart Memorial Hospital. Fynn: Mm-hmm. Nicole: Okay. Fynn: One and the same. Well, Daniel said you were buddies. Actually, he was expecting you to cavort into town sometime soon. So here you are. Fynn: Yeah, we had some good times, yeah. I expect more to come. How about I take you to dinner tonight, tell you why you should be the model? Nicole: Huh. Hmm. Mm. Fynn: Oh, spoken for? Nicole: Yeah, actually, um... I'm engaged to Daniel. Fynn: Oh. [Chuckles] That's territory I don't need to tread on again. Nicole: "Again"? Fynn: Yeah, long story. Nicole: I bet. Well, listen, I-I-- I have to go. I have to meet the real male model, so, um... nice to meet you, Fynn. Fynn: Yeah, same here. Daniel's one lucky guy. Nicole: Well, thank you, and I am one psychic girl. Fynn: Really? Nicole: Mm-hmm. I knew the second I laid eyes on you what your middle name is. Fynn: Oh, yeah? Nicole: Mm-hmm. Fynn: What do you think it is? Nicole: Trouble. I'm good, huh? Fynn: Yeah... good. Theresa: [Sighs] Maggie: [Laughs] So I'm, uh, guessing things are better... Theresa: Oh, yes. Maggie: Between the two of you. Theresa: Maggie, I mean, who knew that honesty could be so great for a relationship? Maggie: I'm just gonna go out on a limb here and say that I did. Theresa: [Chuckles] Maggie: I mean, I tried to impress that upon you, my dear, many times. So... what made that light bulb go on? Theresa: Last night. Ugh, wow. Last night... Maggie: Okay, you know what? [Chuckles] I don't think I want to know any more details than that. Theresa: Yeah, I'm sure. Okay. Brady and I spent the night together, and in the morning, he didn't run for the hills. We cuddled, and then... he said he wanted to talk more about what's happening between the two of us. Maggie: [Sighs] Okay, you be careful, honey, okay? Um, you both love Tate. Maybe... that's what's holding you together. Theresa: Well, yeah, I mean, we both love Tate. That's actually one of the things I find most endearing about him. But Brady does love me too. He just... he doesn't know it yet. Victor: Aren't you supposed to be in a board meeting? Brady: There isn't one. Victor: Hastings again? Brady: Yep. I think it's a deviated septum this time. Victor: That man is wasting my time and your time, hell, everybody's time. Brady: Granddad, how is, uh, Caroline? Did you find her last night? Victor: Yeah, she was back at the martin mansion. Said she wanted to wait for Bo to come back. Somehow she knew he would, and he did. Brady: Whoa. Bo is back? Victor: Yes. Unfortunately, he didn't get back in time to stop the wedding, but it was in time to stop Aiden from strangling hope with his necktie. Brady: Hold on a second. What is going on here? Aiden is the necktie killer? Victor: Obviously you haven't had time to catch the news. He was the necktie killer. Bo took him out. Brady: Dear god, where have I been? Victor: Probably sleeping with the in-house tramp. Brady: [Scoffs] Bo: Hope, I-I know this is difficult for you, uh... but I'm here. I'm not going away, ever. So you can lean on me, talk to me... not talk to me if you don't-- Hope: Stop, please, please, just-- you're being rational. I just--I can't-- I can't process rational right now. I can't think. I can't plan. I'm not sure if I can even make it to the end of the day. Bo: Shh, shh. Hope: [Sobs] Bo: Do you feel my heart beating? Hmm? That's real. Okay, um... I'll, uh... check in with you later, okay? Hope: [Sobbing] (Woman) one year ago today mom started searching for her words. Brady: Granddad, I'm sick and tired-- Victor: Of what? Hearing the truth? You're judgment has been clouded in the past, Brady. Now it's totally overcast. Theresa Donovan is poison, and I don't want to see her sink her teeth into you any more, lest you become a total loss to titan, say nothing of yourself. Brady: You might not want to here this, but she's changed. She's trying to change. Victor: A leopard and its spots... catch the metaphor? Brady: Listen to me. I'm gonna say this one more time to you. I am sick and tired of my own grandfather having such a negative attitude about the mother of my child. Cut it out. Shawn: Oh. Bo: Hey, hey, you. Shawn: Dad. Bo: Hey. Shawn: I was just on my way to go see mom. Bo: Uh, I just came from there. Shawn: Yeah, how's she doing? Bo: Not good. Shawn: Yeah. That's not a surprise, right? Bo: No. Shawn: She's strong, so... Bo: Yeah. Shawn: She's got you back in her life, and she's got me back in her life. She's gonna be fine. She's gonna be fine. She's gonna get through this. Bo: I wish I shared your optimism. Shawn: I don't understand how you don't. Bo: I would just... I-- I tried, but I couldn't reach her, and I didn't know what to--to say or... or do. I mean... I couldn't figure out a way to... make her feel better... just make her feel safe. [Doorbell rings] [Knock at door] [Cell phone vibrating] [Cell phone beeps] Hope: You had to text me to get me to open the door? Jennifer: Apparently so. Come here. I'm so sorry. Theresa: Um... [Door closes] Theresa: [Chuckles] Hi. Um... Brady: H-hi. Hey. Theresa: So... any thoughts? Brady: Yeah, I have a lot of thoughts. Theresa: Okay. Any thoughts about last night? Brady: It was--it was great. I mean, I had a really-- I had a really good time. I had a good time with you. Theresa: [Chuckles] So does that mean, um... are you saying that you want to be with me? I mean, that--that you think maybe--maybe we could work things out? Brady: No, um, Theresa, I-I'm thinking that we should keep things very, uh... we shouldn't push anything. We should just take it as it comes. Theresa: [Scoffs] So it's a no, then? Brady: It's not a no. Theresa: Well, I'll take what I can get. [Chuckles] Listen, I was, uh-- I was kind of waiting for you to show up here. Um... but now I kind of need to get back to, uh--to Tate, so... Brady: Yeah, right. Theresa: Would it be too needy if I asked you to kiss me good-bye? Nicole: Are you kidding me? He booked with someone else? Well, you tell that agency that we will not use them again. Oh. [Birds chirping] Fynn: Are those for me? Daniel: [Laughs] Fynn! Hey, what are you doing here, man? I thought it was gonna be another couple weeks before you came here. Fynn: Yeah, I decided to come see my best bud. Daniel: Wow! Fynn: I had nothing keeping at home, so... Daniel: Well, this--this is-- this is great. Fynn: Yeah. Daniel: So then Salem university hospital accepted your application? Fynn: They did, yeah. In fact, I was over there a little earlier. I met Nicole. Daniel: Ah. Fynn: You have really good taste, mate. Always did. Daniel: [Laughs] Well, this time it's serious, 'cause we are engaged. Fynn: Yeah, I saw the ring. Good job. Daniel: Well, let me guess. No, let me guess. You did hit on her, didn't you? Fynn: "Hit on her"? Me? Of course not, man. I mean, I might have in the old days, you know, but knowing you two are engaged... Daniel: Yeah? Just--you've grown some morals now, have you, mate? Fynn: [Scoffs] I wouldn't go that far. [Both laugh] Daniel: It's all good. It's all good. You know, back in the old days, I'd be concerned about you just swooping in, but, you know, Nicole and I--we've been through a lot together. We trust each other... completely. Jennifer: Okay. I brought your favorite chocolate gooey cake... and I'm gonna make you some tea. Hope: [Chuckles] Very sweet of you. Thank you. I'm not hungry. Jennifer: I'm just gonna make some tea, then. Hope: No, I'M... no, thanks. Jennifer: Okay. I'm just gonna stop pretending to be cheerful, then. Tell me how you really are, truthfully. Hope: I'm struggling. Jennifer: Hope, how could you not be? Hope: I married Aiden. I mean, I actually... agreed to be his wife. I loved him. [Scoffs] I thought he was in love with me. I can still feel his touch... and the way he looked at me. [Shudders] I can't breathe. I can't breathe. Jennifer: Hope, come here. Come here. I was standing right next to you when you said your vows... and there's just a part of me that hates that I didn't see it somehow. Hope: No, don't. Jennifer: I am so sorry! Hope: Don't. Please, don't. Jennifer: That it's not even enough to say. Hope: Jenn. No, don't. I thought if I forced myself to come back here, I could handle it. I'd be okay, but I'M... I can't stay under this roof. I just have memories, I mean, just-- my head is spinning with memories of him. Jennifer: I understand completely. Hey. Listen, why don't you come-- come stay with me for as long as you need. Hope: I-I-I can't do that to you. I have Ciara and chase. Jennifer: Well, they can come stay too. I mean it. I wouldn't have it any other way. Hope: [Sighs] Nicole: What was that all about? Brady: I'm fine. Thanks for asking. How about yourself? Nicole: Uh-huh. What were you and Theresa doing? You were kissing her, and I mean really kissing her. Brady: Stop. Come on. It was nothing. Trust me, it was nothing. Nicole: Mm-hmm. You and Theresa live together, and you share a baby. Any physical and emotional closeness that you have could hardly be called nothing. Brady, I thought you hated her. Brady: "Hate" is a-- "hate" is a very strong word, Nicole, and I'm trying not to let that creep into my life, all right? Nicole: "Creep"? Okay, hate has owned you when it comes to Theresa. Brady: I'm rethinking it. Nicole: Hello? Please let me know when the real Brady black is ready to have this conversation with me. Brady: Stop, stop, stop. I'm serious, Nicole. Since she's become a mother, she's a-- she--she's changed. She's better. There's actually attributes to her that I... I like and I respect very much. Nicole: Wow. Now I'm really worried about you. Brady: Why--because I'm not as cynical as you are about people's ability to change? Nicole: No, 'cause now I believe there's something serious going on between you and Theresa Donovan. Well, is there? Brady: I don't know. Nicole: Oh, my god. Nicole: That is the wrong answer. Shawn: It might be a long road for her, but this is mom we're talking about. I mean, how tough is she? How resilient is she? Bo: Yeah, yeah, you're-- you're right. She's tough. Shawn: [Sighs] All right. So what is she doing now? Bo: She said she needed some time alone. Shawn: And we really think that's the best thing for her? You don't think that maybe we should all be together, that maybe we should all be home. Bo: Shawn, stop, please. She-- we need to respect her wishes, and she was very clear in saying she needed some time to herself, time to think about this, and we need to give-- Shawn: Whoa. What-- dad, are you okay? Bo: Yeah. Shawn: What was that? Bo: I'm just-- just a little-- walk with me, okay? Come on. Shawn: All right. Ciara: Can you believe what happened to mom? Jennifer: No, I can't, baby. Ciara: I mean, I don't get it. How could Aiden have fooled us so badly? And I was around him a lot. I should have known. Hope: Ciara, honey... baby, we've been over this. You have nothing to feel guilty about. Ciara: Mom, I do feel guilty. I feel bad that you went through what you went through, and now it's-- I just feel so bad that that happened to you. Hope: Oh, baby. Ciara: [Sniffles] Hope: Oh, baby. Ciara: Jennifer, we have to do something for her. Jennifer: Actually, your mom and I, we-- we came up with an idea. Ciara: What is it? Hope: We're gonna stay with Jenn for a while-- you, me, and chase, okay? Ciara: No! More "stay" per roll. Theresa: [Sighs happily] [Humming] [Humming] Hello, victor. Uh... I forgot the rattle. Tate can be quite the cranky fellow without his rattle. Okay. Victor: From now on, the nanny will see to his rattle... or Brady or Maggie. Hell, I'll even get it for him myself. Theresa: Um... what are you talking about? Victor: After a couple of days, houseguests start to smell like bad fish. With you, it's been more than a couple of days, and the stench has become intolerable. So I'm no longer willing to extend my hospitality. Theresa: I don't understand. Victor: Well, let me put it in a more common, unrefined way that you might understand. Get your sorry ass out of my house, now. Jennifer: I'm gonna let the two of you talk about this in private. I'm gonna go. Hope: Love you. Thank you for everything. Jennifer: I love you. I love you, sweetie. Ciara: Love you too. [Sniffles] Mom... why do we have to go stay with Jennifer? Why can't we just stay here with dad? Hope: Your dad has been gone for a very long time. That's why when you said he and I should get married again, we didn't say anything right away, because, honey... baby, it's complicated. It's very difficult right now. I mean, look what's happened, especially now that we know... why... your dad was gone for so long and why he couldn't get back to us. It wasn't your dad who betrayed us, Ciara. It was me. I betrayed him. Ciara: But you felt like you had no choice, mom. You thought that he had left us forever, like he didn't care about us. That's what you were led to believe. So stop being so hard on yourself, okay? Hope: I'm trying. I'm trying. Ciara: Mom, you were wrong. Dad didn't leave us forever. He never even meant to leave us, and it's so clear that you guys still love each other. [Sniffles] You still love him, don't you? Hope: Yes. I do. I've always loved him. Ciara: Then why can't we be a family again? I just want my family back the way that it was. Hope: Baby... oh, babe, I don't know if it'll ever be the same. Shawn: Yeah, no, he's trying to hide it from me, aunt Kayla, but I know something's wrong. Bo: Whoa, whoa, come on, come on, give me that. Bo: Hey, Kay. Listen, I am fine. Thank you. Um, this boy of mine-- he's just overreacting you don't need to worry. Shawn: Overreacting. I'm overreacting? You just passed out. Yeah, deal with it! [Stammering] Listen, Kay, if it'll make you feel better, I'll come in, and you can check me out, all right? Okay, fine. Later today. I'll see you then. Thanks so much. Shawn: You're welcome. Bo: You know I love you and everything, and I appreciate the concern you have for your old man, but you didn't need to call your aunt k-- Shawn: Dad. Dad! Dad! Bo: It's all right. Shawn: Are you okay? Dad!
