John and Marlena talk at the hospital; Paul’s fever is spiking; he has muscle spasms and confusion.  John says he couldn’t even get his head off the pillow.  Dario comes in as Rafe is cleaning up the dishes; he asks who the lucky woman was… Hope is ready to head into the station; Ciara notices that she doesn’t look like she’s doing very well.  Caroline tells Kayla she wants to know what’s wrong – she tells her about the incident at the prom (apparently the kids thought that it was Mark’s car, not his dad’s).  Kayla admits that she and Steve are not doing very well.  Fynn invites himself to sit down for dinner with Kayla.  

Ciara does tell her mom that it was her big, stupid idea to trash Mark’s car and now it’s hanging over everyone’s head; then tells her that Abe (Theo’s dad) doesn’t want Theo hanging out with her because he thinks she’s a bad influence.  She tells Hope she is going to deal with it and wants her to stay out of it.  More people pour into the hospital feeling sick, fever, muscle spasms; the doctor asks Gabi questions about her activities that day.  She reveals that she was at a photo shoot, with Paul Norita (who is also there with a fever and spasms.  What could be causing this sickness?  

Theo has a discussion with his father, standing up to him about his feelings for Ciara and his right to have them; he tells his father that he is hurting him.  He proves to his father than he is now a grown man, capable of taking care of himself.  His dad concedes.  Steve comes looking for Joey; she told him the last she saw him was this afternoon when they were hanging out after getting out of jail.  He questions Claire; she tells him Joey was talking about running away with Jade, but they don’t think he was serious.  Hope insists on being the one to question Aiden… alone.  The doctor’s cannot figure out what this virus is; the bloodwork shows nothing familiar.  Claire leaves and Theo shows up at Ciara’s house; Ciara has the cutest smile on her face when she sees him.  I don’t know why she is so hesitant to admit that she loves him too. He finally gets her to say she probably does love him – and then she kisses him, big time.
