Sitting at lunch with her
parents, Claire can tell that they spent the night together… she is happy for
them, but they caution her not to read too much in to it. After she leaves them, they talk – Philip
listens – Shaun tells Belle he felt a real connection again; Belle insists she
just had too much to drink. The kids
had their court hearing and they were given community service for vandalizing
the judge’s car. Theo is worried about
Ciara; she told him she just wants to be alone today. Hope talks her into meeting with Marelena this afternoon; she
calls Claire to babysit for her. Claire
asks why she’s avoiding Theo; she says she just doesn’t want to hurt him. Belle asks Shaun what he is going to do
about Lani; she is getting ready for a date with Shaun tonight. Rafe and Hope talk about Aiden; Rafe isn’t
happy Hope was even talking to him… he believes he is weak, corrupt and amoral,
still.
Aiden is on the phone, asking if
“it” is ready… not sure what that's about. Belle finds Philip in the square; they talk. He tells her he’s glad that she and Shaun
are moving in the right direction (she pretends not to know what he’s talking
about at first); he tells her that he hopes she knows he really just wants her
to be happy. She says she knows
that. Ciara admits to Marlene that she
used to like Chase – she knew he had a dark side, and she liked it – which
makes her think maybe she has a dark side too, which is why she has decided
that she can’t be with anyone like Theo.
She is afraid she will hurt him.
She also realizes that she may be afraid of finding someone she really
loves, and then losing them. Marlena
tells her she thinks she made a lot of progress today and ends the
session.
Belle comes home and talks to
her mother about Claire; Marlena mentions that her life was torn apart (Belle
reacts, “you mean because I had an affair, moved her here and divorced her
father?”); Marlena responds, that’s exactly what she means. Hope and Rafe have lunch; Aiden walks
in. Aiden tells Hope he had hoped to
finish their conversation; Rafe tells him they just ate. He leaves and Rafe tells Hope that Aiden was
letting her know he is not giving up on her.
Theo and Claire talk about Ciara… he tells her he doesn’t know what’s
going on – one day she wants to hang out with him and the next she won’t even
talk, he mentions having spent the night with her (Claire looks shocked); he
explains that they just cuddled and slept in her bed. She tells him he shouldn’t be disappointed if all Ciara wants to
be is friends for now. He looks
slightly confused.
Philip sits at the
bar; he makes a pass at the female bartender. Belle calls Shaun and asks him out to dinner… he accepts and turns around
to see Lani standing there. He lets her
know that he is hoping to work things out with Belle and apologizes to her –
she wishes him the best. Ciara comes
back to find Theo talking with Claire; she tells him that she just isn’t ready
for a relationship yet (and that she doesn’t think he is what she’s looking
for); Claire tells her she is breaking his heart.
