Nicole spends most of this episode sitting at a table in the bar, talking to Dario about her predicament and remembering the encounter between her and Diemos.  Good news, bad news, she tells him… the good news is that Diemos may very well be dead – the bad news, if they find his body, she is going to prison.  Kate pays Aiden for phony marriage certificate documentation; a good sum, which he plans to use to help Chase get out of prison.  They wish each other luck.  Aiden runs into Rafe in the square and brags that Hope has gone out of town to figure out if she could give him another chance.  He’s pretty much an ass about it.  He then goes to the hospital and tells Chase that he is going to have him change his plea to Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity; Chase agrees.  

Hope comes back from her trip within a day and announces that she has figured things out; she talks with Ciara, then Rafe, then Aiden – to my dismay, the tells Ciara she might want to give things with Aiden another try and asks if that would bother her (Ciara takes it almost too cool, telling her she just wants her to be happy, even though she wishes Rafe were the one).  Then Hope goes and tells Rafe how happy she is that he’s always been there for her, but she just has to see if there is anything still there between her and Aiden.  Come on, are you kidding me??  She has this beautiful, sweet, loving relationship with a man who is already her best friend… and she’s going to throw it away to “see” if there is something still there with Aiden?  Unbelievable!  Now he’ll go around with this cocky ‘I won’ attitude and Rafe is going to be sulking but still trying to be Hope’s friend because that’s the kind of guy he is.  Can’t we ever have a real-for-real TRUE LOVE story in a soap opera anymore?  Not happy about this one either guys.  

Guess what else?  Diemos lays on the edge off the riverbank, bloody and battered (but not dead).  Kate’s in for a surprise.  Of course, Nicole is probably going to be arrested and put through hell before Diemos bothers making his reappearance, as if she hasn’t been through enough already.
