Dario attending bar… Bianca comes in and sits down.  He asks if she is there looking for his brother – she says no; she was just walking by the place and thought she may stop by and have a drink.  He speaks to her in Spanish, and then translates, “you’ve got the hots for my brother.”  She says a lot of women probably find Rafe attractive; she may like him, but she is realistic.  He seems very in love with Hope; he asks if she is going to stay…she says yes.  He tells her she’ll get bored; she asks what brought him back (his family, he tells her).  She says he is very different from the rest of his family, especially Rafe – he’s like a bomb waiting to explode.  Nice choice of words.  

Aiden sits, on the floor of his hotel room, trashed, looks beat down… I may have missed something big.  Sorry y’all.  Andre tells him to cheer up; he has good news about their friend, Rafe, mentioning that it looks like he had a disagreement with the room décor.  Aiden says Hope knows now that he lied and there is no chance for them; it doesn’t matter if Rafe is around or not.  Andre tells Aiden that Rafe is no longer with them – he died.  Aiden says he never told him to kill him… asks what Andre did (and asks if he covered his tracks); this can’t lead back to me, he says.  Aiden complains about losing the women he loves… Andre says, “in more ways than one… I’m so sorry for your loss.” 

Adriana comes into the bar, as if she knew her friend was there; she asks her if her sister got a hold of her… she has called many times trying to reach her she says.  Bianca says she keeps her ringer turned off at work.  Adriana brings up an old boyfriend who is looking for her; Bianca says its no big deal.  Adriana is getting worried and goes to call Rafe.  Bianca calls someone… worried Guillermo is trying to find her.  She them if he asks about her to please say they have no idea where she is; Adriana still insists she would be perfect for her son, if it weren’t for Hope.  Dario asks if everything is ok; she looks like she is hiding something.  

Shawn shouts frantically at the entrance of the building where Rafe was being held; he coughs.  The team comes in; bomb squad says there is no other bomb… they find Hope’s phone and hand it to Shawn.  Rafe carries Hope through a doorway that didn’t collapse; she is knocked out, but doesn’t look badly hurt (certainly not crushed, as one would think).  In the rubble, Shawn and Roman find the chains that Rafe was bound with; Hope comes to; she says she remembers a trap door, and climbing down a ladder but that’s all.  Rafe says that’s when the bomb went off.  As Andre attacks Aiden, taking him to the floor and standing on his throat, Hope begins to struggle to breathe; she passes out.
