Rolf talked to Kayla about his missing flash drive. She wasn't sure where it was. Rolf wanted to go after Jennifer to find it. He didn't want her to see anything. Kayla wanted to know what he didn't want her to see, but he didn't want to tell her. Jordan told Rafe that she invited Ben to David's birthday party. Ben told Ciara about his conversation with Jordan. She wasn't sure she wanted to go to the party after what Jordan did. Ben tried to convince her to go to the party. She changed her mind and wanted to be there. Rafe was surprised that Jordan wanted to invite Ben to the party. She explained why she decided to change her mind toward Ben. Rafe was proud of her for moving forward and putting the anger behind her. Hope went to the pub to see Roman. She wanted to get a glass of champagne. He was surprised that she wanted a drink since she doesn't do that often. She used Julie as her excuse. Roman went to look for the champagne and Hope got a pain in her neck. Rolf found Jennifer and demanded his flash drive. She said she didn't take it. He told her that she lied. Jack saw JJ and Haley and wanted to apologize for the way he acted. Haley accepted his apology. Jack poured his heart out to both of them about what he did to them. JJ understood what he did. He thought it was Eve's fault, but Jack didn't want to blame her. Rolf put Jennifer on notice about not ruining her life's work. Roman gave Hope the drink, but she didn't like it. He reminded her that she didn't really like champagne. Kayla showed up at the pub and asked Hope about not meeting her at the hospital. Hope told her that she went to see Ciara and got sick. Jordan was making cupcakes for David's party and slipped something in the batter. Jack offered to make a donation in Haley's name that supports immigrants. Haley appreciated what he wanted to do. JJ and Haley thanked him for what he was willing to do. Jack didn't want them to thank him because he wanted to make up for what he did. JJ thought it was great that Haley forgave his father. She wanted to have a great relationship with his father. Kayla questioned Hope about how she was feeling. Hope blamed her neck pain on what Julie was going through. Hope wanted to know about the pacemaker that Julie had to get. Kayla looked for the information in her bag. Kayla had to take stuff out of her bag to look for it. Hope noticed the cigarettes and wanted to take them. Rolf wanted to search Jennifer's bag. She refused to let him go through her purse. He grabbed Jennifer and told her that he wasn't finished. Jack showed up and stopped him from grabbing Jennifer. Kayla told Roman and Hope about Rolf. She told them how he kicked him out of the hospital. She mentioned the flash drive to them. Hope told her that Jennifer didn't want to give it back to Rolf. Jack demanded to know what was going on with him. Jennifer told Rolf that she lost the flash drive. Rolf didn't believe her. Jack defended her and told him to go. Rafe wanted to know about David's father. Jordan looked at him like she didn't want to answer him. Jennifer confessed to Jack that she still had the flash drive. She wanted to find out if the IT department could crack what was on the drive. Hope prepared to leave the pub. Roman and Kayla walked away from the table so she snuck back to get the cigarettes. Rafe apologized for bringing up David's father. He suggested that Arianna go to the party. Jordan was okay with her being there. Jack wanted to take Jennifer on a romantic evening. Roman noticed the cigarettes were missing. Hope lit a match while she was holding a cigarette. Rolf went to the warehouse and saw Stefano's portrait. He wanted him to see everything that was going to happen. Haley saw Hope smoking. Hope didn't recognized her at first. Haley told her who she was and then she remembered. Haley didn't know she smoked. Hope told her that she didn't and she put it out.
Rolf: I just saw ms. Horton. We even discussed my recent projects. She said nothing about the flash drive. Kayla: Must have just slipped her mind. Rolf: Right. That's probably the case. Well, whatever the reason, I have no choice but to hunt ms. Horton down and demand she return what's mine. [Tender music] Jennifer: Let me--let me see it again. I just need to look at it again. Jack: Oh, the papers? Jennifer: Yes. Jack: Sure, sure, sure, sure. Jennifer: Oh, my goodness. Jack: Eve donovan devereux in black and white. You know, that's the first time I think I was actually happy to see that name-- definitely the last. Jennifer: You know what, jack? Now we can just put this chapter of our lives behind us and start the next chapter. Jack: Well, I'm not quite ready to do that. Haley: Hey, there. Hey. Hey, have I mentioned to you how much I absolutely hate that you've been working the night shift? I mean, I've barely seen you for weeks. Jj: Well, unless you count handing off mrs. Pulaski and her hot appendix as a date night. Haley: [Laughs] And I-- no, no, I definitely do not. It's-- I've missed you. Jj: I've missed you too. Ciara: Hey. Ben: Hey. How's gabi doing? Ciara: I--I couldn't-- I couldn't get past harold. Apparently, mrs. Dimera has given strict instructions not to be disturbed. Ben: Well, it was good of you to try. Ciara: Yeah, yeah. I was just--I feel really bad for her, ben. I mean, she and stefan were just married. They were planning their future together, and now she has to spend every day of her life without him. I don't know. It just kinda makes me feel guilty for worrying about us. Ben: I am not going anywhere. Ciara: I know. I know. It's just that, I don't know, it's because of stefan that you have a job and we have a place to live, and now that tony is taking over dimera and he's moving into the mansion-- Ben: Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait. You--tony's moving into the mansion? Did harold tell you that? Ciara: No. I just--I just assumed. Someone took down the portrait of stefano. Ben: Seriously? Ciara: Yeah. Yeah, it was pretty weird. I mean, the house just seemed so empty without it. [Dramatic music] Hope: Welcome to your new home. Male announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the "days of our lives." [Soft orchestration] [Mellow music] Jordan: Hey. Rafe: Hey. Do a little shopping? Jordan: Yeah, I did. I, uh, thought since you've been working so hard, I would make a simple dinner. Rafe: What? Jordan: Yeah. Rafe: You don't have to do that. Jordan: I wanted to. Oh, before that, though, I'm going to bake some cupcakes for david's birthday celebration. Rafe: Birthday celebration? Jordan: Oh. Okay, so ben came over earlier today, and he apologized for accusing me of trying to run down ciara, and I accepted. Rafe: Wow. Really? Anything else that I need to know? Jordan: Well, it was actually the best conversation we've had in a really long time, which is why I invited ben and ciara to help us celebrate david's birthday tomorrow. Rafe: You did? Jordan: I hope that's okay. Rafe: Oh, no, of course that's okay. In fact, I've been hoping for a long time that you and ben would start bonding again. Jordan: Yeah, I mean, I wasn't--I wasn't sure about inviting him, but I'm glad I did, and I'm glad he accepted, and yeah, I feel like we have a lot to celebrate. Rafe: Yeah. Ciara: What's all this? Ben: This is a birthday gift for david. I decided to build him a little toy chest. Ciara: Aww. Ben, this is an amazing present. Ben: Aww, it's my nephew's first birthday. I gotta go all out. I still can't believe that jordan invited us to his birthday party. I didn't expect her to accept my apology, let alone allow us to be a part of david's life. Ciara: And I am so happy for you and for david, which is why I hope you don't get upset when I say this, but, uh, ben, I can't go to this party. Jennifer: Are--are you saying that you don't wanna spend the next chapter of your life with me? Jack: No. No, no, I'm not saying that at all, not at all. I'm saying I've got to clean up the mess that I've made, first from my disastrous term as mayor to my equally disastrous marriage to eve. Jennifer: Right, but you told abe that he could have your job. You divorced eve. You made amends with me and our children. What else could there be, jack? Jack: To make things right, there's one more thing I have to do. Kayla: Hunt jennifer down? Rolf: A figure of speech. Kayla: Or is it a threat? Rolf: [Chuckles] There is no threat as long as she gives me back what's mine before that nosy parker can steal my research secrets. Kayla: And what secrets would those be? What are you so afraid that she's gonna see? Rolf: Nothing for you to worry about. Ben: You don't want to go to david's party? Ciara: But I want you to go. Look, I am--I'm so happy that jordan is letting you be a part of david's life. I really am. It's just-- honestly, ben, I kinda feel uncomfortable being around her after the whole incident in the elevator, and you know what? She honestly probably only invited me to be polite, so... Ben: Actually, she made it a point of saying how much she wanted you to come. Ciara: Oh. Ben: Look, she knows it's asking a lot of you to try and forgive her or to trust her, and I'm sure she knows it's not going to happen overnight, for sure, but it just means a lot to me to know that she's even making an effort. I shouldn't have accepted on your behalf without asking you first. I'm sorry. Ciara: It's okay. And if my being there will help heal your family, then I'll go. Rafe: So, just like that, you decided to invite ben to david's party? Jordan: Well, I feel like if he's willing to accept that I'm not a threat to ciara, then I guess I'm willing to accept he's not a threat to david. I mean, we both have been treated at bayview, and we both are working really hard to get healthy, you know? Rafe: Yeah. Well, I feel like this gesture toward ben just shows how hard you're working. I'm proud of you. You're moving forward. You're putting all the anger and hurt behind you. Jack: Jj, I'm-- Jj: Hey, dad, what are you doing-- Jack: Incredibly sorry. Jj: No, what are you-- what are you doing here? Jack: Um, leaving. It seems my timing is just as impeccable as always. Roman: Hope, oh, my god, it is so good to see you. Hope: Hi, roman. All is well? Roman: Yeah, yeah. What about you? Hope: Me? Oh, I'm fine. Roman: Good, good. Hope: Thanks. Roman: What can I get you? Hope: A glass of your finest champagne. Roman: Champagne? Hope: Do you not have it in stock? Roman: Well, yeah, I'm sure I got a bottle or two, but aside from new year's or weddings, I've never seen you order that before. Hope: Now that julie has a new heart, I'm--I'm in the mood to celebrate. Roman: All right. Well, celebrate we will, all right? Sit tight. I shall return with a glass of my best bubbly. [Tense music] Rolf: Ah, good, you're still here. Jennifer: Were you looking for me? Rolf: Indeed I was. Dr. Johnson informs me that you are in possession of my flash drive. I'd like it back. Jennifer: Uh, I'm sorry. I don't have it. Rolf: You lie. There are lots of people who are confused about which medicare plan is right for them. Hey, that's me. I barely know where to start.

Jack: Uh-- Jj: No, hey--no, dad, hey, hey, is everything okay? Jack: Yes, yes, everything's fine. Actually, I--I came here to talk to haley, but I can come back later. Haley: No, no, no, please say what you wanted to say. Jack: [Sighs] This is long overdue, but I need to apologize to you for everything that I put you through. Haley: Mr. Devereux, that's--that's all in the past. You don't need to worry about-- Jordan: I do. I do. I have to make this right. [Tender music] I'm going on an apology tour all over town, but this is the most important place because the person I hurt the most is you and you. I betrayed your trust. You came to me because you were concerned about haley and haley's immigration status. Instead of being the father that I needed to be to help you, I took that information-- your personal information, haley--I took it, and I used it for my own personal gain. Jj: No, but, dad, look, we know that it was eve who was pulling the strings. Jack: No, no, no, please. I cannot lay this at eve. This is all me. I mean, it may have been eve's idea, but I was the one who got consumed by the power, by the influence, caught up in that, and I regressed. I became the jack devereux circa 1987, but that's not who I am. That's--that'S... that's not who I wanna be. And with your mother's help, I will never be that man again. Jennifer: Dr. Rolf, you're right. I--I did have your flash drive, and I lost it. I'm so sorry. Rolf: I see. Well, then you won't mind if I check your bag. Jennifer: You cannot open my bag! Rolf: You owe me! I worked night and day to recreate my miracle serum for your ex-husband, only to be disposed of like last week's garbage. Jennifer: He got his memory back. He didn't need your serum. Rolf: You promised me a lab space to work on my projects. Then you broke that promise! Jennifer: Did you just think you were gonna have that space indefinitely? Rolf: Oh, to be so unceremoniously kicked out by that power-mad dr. Johnson! Jennifer: And you wanna know why? Because you wouldn't share details of your projects. She cannot assume liability for some crazy mad science project, and given your history, she has every right to be nervous. Rolf: Well, now I have my new lab at titan, so no one can stop me from doing my life's work, especially not you. Roman: Here you go. Hope: Oh. I'm so sorry, but... awful. Roman: Well, it's not exactly dom pérignon. Hope: No, no, no, no, I mean, I think it's turned. Roman: [Laughs] Maybe you're just not a champagne fan. Matter of fact, I remember back when you and bo were dating that you were more of a wine cooler girl. Kayla: Hey. Hi. There you are. Hope: Hey. Roman: Hi, sis. Kayla: Hi. Can I sit? Roman: Oh, sure. Kayla: You know, I was waiting for you at the hospital. You said you were gonna come there. What happened? Hope: Right, I--sorry, I--ciara. I went--I went to see ciara, and then suddenly, well, I didn't feel so well. I don't know what happened. Ciara: So we should probably get a move-on on this toy chest, huh? Ben: We? Ciara: Yes, we. You don't want to show up to david's party empty-handed, right? And I am an expert at reading directions. These are in chinese. Ben: Yup. That's kinda the problem. Ciara: Well, okay, maybe it's not a problem. I, uh--I happened to pick up a fair share of mandarin when I visited hong kong with my brother shawn. All right, okay. Step one, remove all parts. Step two, place object a into slot b, uh, using a shoe? No, no, no, no, no, that can't be it, using a--a screw. A screw, use a screw, babe. [Laughs] Ben, how--how did you do that? Ben: What? I've always had a knack for using my hands. Ciara: Hmm. Ben: I learned how to use a pocket knife before I learned how to ride a bike. Clyde taught me. The guy used to whittle me little toy animals out of sticks. It was wild. What? Ciara: Nothing, nothing, it's just, um, that is the first nice thing I've ever heard you say about clyde. Ben: Well, he wasn't always a monster. When I was a little kid, all I ever wanted was my dad's attention, and when I got it, I'd be so damn happy, till the next day he was back to whipping me over his knee again. Ciara: Ben, I am so sorry for everything that's happened to you. Ben: Jordan... she got the worst of it. She was the strong one. She was always looking out for me. I thought maybe for a while there that she'd be the-- the one to manage to somehow overcome it. [Clears throat] For a while, she was. She went to college. She became a pt. She got a job. She was helping people, and she wasn't clyde's biological daughter, so I thought maybe she'd escape the family curse. I just pray that david will. He had a pretty rough start, but I think now-- Ciara: Now he has a good life, just like you do. Ben: Just like I do. Jordan: You don't think it's bad I'm letting david have all this sugar, do you? Rafe: You ever been to a one year old's birthday party? Jordan: [Laughs] All david is gonna do with that cupcake is smash it into his high chair. Then he's gonna take the icing and just rub it all over his face, and if he's lucky, a few wayward crumbs will fall into his mouth. Jordan: Mm, yeah, I figured as much. [Laughs] Rafe: That's good. You know, when-- when gabi was around ten, she had a booming cupcake business. Jordan: Hmm. Rafe: No, she did. Jordan: Really? Rafe: Wanna know what the secret ingredient was? Jordan: What was it? Rafe: My other sister, arianna, was putting kahlúa into the batter. Jordan: No. Kahlúa? [Laughs] Rafe: Yeah, kahlúA. Apparently it was the secret ingredient in the old family recipe. Jordan: Oh. Wow. Rafe: It cooked off in the oven, but still. Jordan: Guess every family has its own secret ingredient. Rafe: Mm, guess so. [Foreboding music] Introducing target circle! Jack: I want you to know that no matter how well this turned out, what I did was wrong. There's no excuse for it. I know that, and I'm going to make a substantial donation in your name to a charity that supports immigrants. Well, I mean, as soon as I get a new job and then start to earn an income again, I'm gonna do that. Haley: Yeah, yeah, no, I--I totally understand what it's--what it's like starting a brand-new life. It's--it's scary but exciting. Jack: Yeah, that-- that about sums it up. Jj: Thank you for doing this, dad. It means a lot to me. Haley: Yeah, and me. Jack: Oh, oh, there's no-- there's no thanks necessary. I--I'm-- no thanks necessary. So that--that's taken care of, and now-- now you can-- oh, you can --you can just get back--I'm-- I wi--I'll see you later. That's what I mean. I will see you later. Haley: Well... Jj: That was-- that was very generous of you. Haley: What was? Jj: The way you forgave him. Haley: Well, we--we know it wasn't him who tried to hurt us, so why wouldn't I forgive him? And besides, I-- I want to have a good relationship with your father, especially since he's gonna be in my life for a long time, I hope. [Laughs] Jj: Yeah, I hope so too. Where were we? Haley: Uh, I think right about here. [Laughs] Kayla: You're not feeling well? Hope: Just a stiff neck. Kayla: Well, you don't have a fever. Hope: Well, I think this is really just a case of sleeping in too many very uncomfortable chairs at the hospital while we were waiting for news about julie. Kayla: Well, I guess that's a possibility, but listen, I want you to promise me to come see me for a checkup if you're not feeling better soon. Hope: Yeah, I promise. By the way, I ran into jennifer. She said that julie needs a pacemaker? Kayla: Yeah, yeah. It's nothing for you to worry about though. We are gonna do a new non-invasive procedure, so much less traumatic than open-heart surgery. Hope: Well, how soon does she need it? Kayla: We have her on the schedule for tomorrow. Hope: Tomorrow? Kayla: Yeah. Yeah, listen, I printed up some information on the technology for you, so you can read up and-- I got it here somewhere. Roman: Kay. Kayla: Yeah? Roman: You smoking now? Kayla: Oh, no. Come on. I confiscated these from a patient. He was about to light up in his hospital room when he's on oxygen for copd. Hope: Hm. Well, it's a good thing you caught him. Well, he could have blown up the place. Kayla: Oh, the day I've had. And don't even get me started on that dr. Wilhelm rolf. Jennifer: Why would you think I'm trying to stop you from your life's work unless it was something I had to be worried about? Rolf: Well, of course not. Jennifer: Now I'm the one who doesn't believe you. Go ahead. Go through my bag. You're not gonna find anything of yours in there, rolf. Rolf: We'll see about that. Jennifer: I just want to know why this flash drive is so important to you. Rolf: What? I have to explain? My inventions can be worth millions, billions! Well, not that I care about the money. I'm a man of science, but you and I both know that my findings could prove quite lucrative in the private market. Jennifer: I have no interest in stealing your proprietary information, and even if I did, you could sue me, so I'm done. I am leaving. Rolf: No, you're not. I haven't finished looking through your purse. Jennifer: No! Jack: Get your hands off my wife. Roman: Okay, what-- what happened with rolf? Kayla: Well, I'll tell you, nothing that I shouldn't have seen coming. Why I ever let him have access to the hospital lab, I don't know. Hope: He said, um, something about being cast out. Kayla: No, more like kicked out by me, and he had the nerve to be belligerent about it, and then on top of that, he made vague threats about jennifer. Hope: How vague? Kayla: Well, you know, he got all worked up about this flash drive that was left at the hospital. I told him that I gave it to jennifer and that she would return it to him, but he completely convinced himself that she wouldn'T. Hope: Hmm. Actually, jennifer knew that she's not planning on giving it back. Kayla: What? Why not? Hope: She doesn't want to aid whatever crazy experiments he might be working on. Kayla: You know, I get that, except for he gets very volatile when he doesn't get what he wants. I hope jennifer's careful. Rolf: She is not your wife. Jack: In my heart, she is. So now that that's settled, why don't you tell us what's going on here? Rolf: Well, your wife stole something that belongs to me. Jennifer: Rolf left a flash drive at the hospital. I was going to return it to him, but unfortunately, I lost it before I could. Rolf: Hmm, quite the convincing tale, but we both know she's lying. Jack: One thing jennifer horton's not is a liar. If she said she lost it, she lost it. It's lost, so you get lost. Get out of here. And don't bother-- yeah, get out. Jennifer: Oh, jack, thank you. Thank you. Jj: You know, I have a-- I have a few minutes before my shift starts. Haley: Yeah, yeah, well, I clocked out 40 minutes ago, so... [Tender music] [Lock clicks] Ben: Babe, can you give me that wrench? Babe? Wrench? Ciara: Um, yeah. Yeah, yeah, sorry. Here. Ben: Thank you. Ciara: Yeah. Ben: You're really focused. Ciara: Uh, no. I was just-- I was thinking about all of the horrible things that happened to you, and I don't know. I can't imagine how you got through it. Ben: And I don't expect you to. Your family was practically perfect. Ciara: [Scoffs] Yeah, no, that is not true, ben. Ben: Ciara, please. Your great-grandparents have a plaque in the town square. Ciara: Yeah, okay, they may have been perfect, but that doesn't mean that I was. I was actually a bit of a demon child. Let me get that. Ben: You? Ciara: Oh, yeah. Ben: Wow. Ciara: Yeah, yeah, claire actually used to call me ciara of the corn. Yeah, ironic, right? [Laughs] Ben: Wow, yeah. Ciara: [Hisses] Ow. Ben: You okay? Ciara: Yeah. Ben: Ciara of the corn? Ciara: Yeah, yeah, no, I'm fine. I'm fine. You know, claire also used to call me the clumsiest person to ever live. Ben: Mm. Ciara: I guess she wasn't wrong. Yeah, no, I can take an engine apart and put it back together, but anything involving hand-eye coordination, no, forget about it. [Clicks tongue] That really hurt. Ben: Let me--let me see. Let me see. Ciara: Okay. Ben: Oh, it's a bad one. Ciara: Yeah. Ben: This is a bad one. Ciara: [Giggles] Ben: Any better? Ciara: Much, thank you. Ben: Good. Ciara: Mm-hmm. Ben: Let me help you out here. Ciara: Okay. Ben: Small end, okay? Get some leverage, so right hand. Ciara: Uh-huh. Ben: Like that. Ciara: Okay. Ben: You got it. Make sure it fits. Easy. Ciara: Ah. Ben: Don't want you to hurt yourself again. Ciara: I'm being easy. Ben: Just make it-- you can do it. Just go easy. Ciara: Maybe we can use a break. Ben: I could use a break. Ciara: Yeah? Ben: Yeah, I mean... Rafe: Whoa, whoa, look at you. You're going all out. Jordan: Well, it's nothing too fancy. You only turn one once, so... Rafe: Mm. Jordan: I am gonna put everyone's names on their own little cupcake flag. Rafe: Oh, nice, yeah. All right, so we got you, me, ben, ciara, david, and one extra. Jordan: Oh, that's no good. Who should we put on the sixth one? Rafe: Mm-mm. What about david's father? I've been saying, I'm fine. [Tender music] Jj: I really wish I didn't have to work tonight. Haley: My supervisor just texted me, actually, and she wants to know if I can work another shift. Jj: You're not exhausted? Haley: Mm, I think I may have gotten a second wind. [Giggles] Um, yeah, and I actually-- I have time to pick up some takeout before I start, so what do you say we have our meal break together and, um, yeah. [Giggles] You want to meet back here a little later? Okay. Jj: It's a date. Haley: All right. [Smooches] Jj: Yeah. Haley: [Giggles] [Lock clicks] Love you. Jj: [Sighs] Jack: All right. Why would rolf think that you stole his flash drive? Jennifer: Because I did. Jack: You did? Jennifer: I have it, jack. I was gonna give it back to him, but then I got really worried that he was gonna concoct another experiment. If you saw the way he just came after me. I'm telling you right now. He is up to no good. Jack: Well, what do you think he's doing? Jennifer: I have no idea. I couldn't get any access to it on my computer, so I'm gonna take it to "the spectator" it department tomorrow, and I will see if they can crack it. Jack: All right, good. That sounds like a plan, tomorrow, because tonight, I have a plan for you and me. Roman: Well, sis, don't worry about jennifer, okay? Hope and I will make sure we keep an eye on her. Kayla: Okay. Thank you for that. Hope: I, uh, I need to get to the hospital and check up on my dad and julie. Bye. Oh, what do I owe you? Roman: Oh, come on. What, are you kidding me? You didn't like it anyway. It's on the house. Hope: He's a nice guy. [Laughter] So you later, baby. Roman: Okay, bye. Hope: Muah, bye. Roman: See you later. Kayla: Hey, I want some of that chowder, okay? Roman: All right, you got it. Will that be all? Kayla: Let me ask you something. Roman: Yeah? Kayla: When did you make it? Roman: Ah. Kayla: I--no, I wanna know. How long's it been sitting there? Roman: I didn't make it. [Foreboding music] Jordan: I absolutely will not put that man's name anywhere on the cupcakes. The man was never even a father to my son. Rafe: Okay. Okay, hey, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I did not mean to upset you. Jordan: Oh, it's okay. I'm sorry. I--I overreacted. Rafe: It's all right. Jordan: [Sighs] Rafe: Hey, what about ari? Jordan: Ari? Rafe: Yeah, yeah, ari. Gabi's gotta go to stefan's funeral tomorrow, and I thought it'd be nice for her to have a distraction. Besides, she loves david. Jordan: Yeah. I like that idea. Rafe: Okay. Jordan: I'm glad you thought of it. All right. Let's do ari. Perfect. Now david's guest list is complete, and I have a feeling this is going to be the perfect birthday party. Rafe: Perfect. [Suspenseful music] Ciara: Wow, ben. This is so beautiful. I cannot believe that you made it all by yourself. Ben: Well, I did have a little help. Ciara: Yeah, right, me reading you the directions that you clearly, clearly didn't need. [Laughs] I do have a better contribution though. Ben: Yeah? Ciara: Mm-hmm. Ben: [Blows] Ciara: Ta-da. Yeah, now david can have two surprises, assuming jordan lets him keep it this time. Ben: No, I'm sure she will. Ciara: Mm-hmm. Ben: I'm serious. When I saw her before, she was acting so much like her old self. Ciara, I would never take you to this party if I thought that there was any danger. Ciara: I know. Ben: So now I think maybe we can stop looking over our shoulders and just focus on the future. Ciara: Mm. I like the sound of that. Jennifer: Really, mr. Devereux? Jack: Mm-hmm. Jennifer: What are you planning? Jack: Well, I was thinking it's been a while since I've taken you on a date, too long, in fact, so how about, um, dinner at the bistro at saxton's?
