Belle goes to see Chad; he
is in bad shape… he asks her how he is supposed to live without hope,
questioning his ability to be a father to Thomas. He condemns himself because Abby trusted him to take care of her,
and he failed; left her in that institution where she felt alone and
scared. Belle tells him he did
everything he was supposed to do. She
says she knows he’s in terrible pain, but if he allows it to defeat him, Thomas
will suffer and he will never forgive himself; she says she is going to fight
for him, but she can’t do it without him.
He terminates her services, saying he is going to give custody to
Jennifer.
Uh oh… Jennifer has a little
bag of pills. Jack appears, asking if
she really thinks this is the answer.
He tells her she is strong and has so much to live for; he says he knows
she is not going to give up – Thomas needs her he says and Abigail is counting
on her. She argues that she is not
strong; it’s a show, she says… one big act.
She gets frustrated and pours herself a drink of liquor. Chad calls; she hangs up. Jack tells her to hit redial and call him
back; he says she needs to tell him that she is going to be raising their grandson
because that’s what is right. She looks
at her phone, at a picture of Abigail, and begins crying about never being able
to hold her again – Jack disappears.
She takes the pills with her glass of vodka.
Theo sees Ciara in the square; she’s in a hurry. She just got back from Chicago; Theo tells
her about the evidence pointing to Abigail’s death. He tells her about the fake license with her picture on it…he
talks about how Abby ‘saw him’ just like any one else. Ciara cries out Thomas needs his mom, then
realizes that was insensitive to Theo and apologizes; Theo tells her it’s okay,
because he at least has memories of his mom.
Just as Chad is telling Belle to get the hell out of there and let him
handle this his way, Ciara walks in; she tells Belle it’s okay, she’s there now
and can take care of Chad and Thomas.
Belle leaves and goes to see Claire, telling her than her dad and she
will agree to her deferring college for one year if she will agree to go back
after that if her career doesn’t take off.
Claire is thrilled and hugs her mom.
Belle gets a call from Paul; he’s been tailing Jennifer and tells Belle
that she has fallen off the wagon. They
meet. Paul tells her that he witnessed
Jennifer buy a bottle of vodka from the liquor store and then meet a man in the
park to score some pills; she’s hold up in a motel right now. Paul thought Belle would be happier; she
leaves him confused. Theo asks Claire
to sing her song for him; I think there might be some chemistry building
between them. She sings, he smiles, she
smiles, she takes his hand and they kiss (even though he just told her he wasn’t
sure he could ever get over Ciara). Ciara
yells at Chad for even thinking of giving up his baby, saying Abigail would be
just as angry at him as she is. Chad
argues he is letting him go because he loves him; Ciara says she is not going
to let him give him up…she is going to make him strong again. He tells her she’s wasting her time; she
says she’s not. He asks why she cares
so much and she blurts out, “because I love you.”
