The residents watch in horror as their Mayor
is gunned down in front of them after finishing his speech; Theo is terrified
that his dad has been shot. Hope sees a
red beam of light on Aiden’s shirt just before Abe steps out from behind the
podium; Abe wasn’t the target – Aiden was!
Damn...too bad he missed. Clyde
packs up his gun and gets out of the hotel room as fast as possible; the guys
stand there with their guns pointed up at the window where the shot came from;
John realizes he’s lost his phone. When
he sees it, the signal is going off from Claire’s necklace. Rafe keeps aim while Kayla and Marlena try
to help Abe; sirens can be heard coming down the road. Abe is having trouble breathing; Ciara holds
onto Theo as he begins to panic, curled up in a ball. John and Steve decide to leave, to look for the shooter.
Rafe and JJ enter the building, but when
they get to the room, the shooter is gone; Rafe finds a shell casing from a
sniper rifle. He makes a guess it was
Weston. Abe is brought into the
hospital, Theo right behind him; Marlena assures Theo, whatever happens, they
will get through this. Steve and John
follow the signal and show up at the warehouse; they get close to it and lose
the signal… Xander saw Joey holding the necklace and Orphius discovered the GPS
chip. Gunshots ring out and are
returned.
As Hope and Rafe review the
footage of the shooting, JJ comes in and announces that “Mr. Jennings” was the
actual target. A camera captured the
red light on Aiden’s chest. Hope, of
course, already knew this. Rafe tells
her that he noticed Aiden lean over and say something to her that seemed to
upset her – she claims not to remember what it was. Theo calls his brother and sister; he sits down by Ciara and
tells her how close he is to his dad, since his mom died, it’s been just
them. He is nervous that the surgery is
taking so long; Kayla said the bullet exploded on impact and went everywhere. Kayla tells Theo that his dad made it
through surgery, but that there’s a very real chance that he could still die,
if any part of the bullet embedded into the heart. Marlena recalls the confrontation with Orphius before he grabbed
Claire; she tells Kayla, she keeps seeing Claire’s face… she was so frightened. They agree they cannot give up.
Orphius
steps out and Claire (who has worked her ropes off rubbing them on the back of
the chair) and Joey (who apparently wasn’t really tied to his chair) jump up
and tackle Xander; Joey shoves Claire out the door and Xander grabs him,
knocking him over the head with the butt of a gun. Theo now sits by his father’s bedside and recalls a conversation
they had about Ciara, his father’s dislike of her and how he stood up for her –
he told him she wasn’t a bad influence on him, he was a good influence on
her. His father looked at him and told
him he just realized that he was actually now a young man, not so much in need
of his protection anymore. He reaches
out and takes his father’s hand; Ciara watches through the window. Aiden tries to confront Hope again, but is
interrupted by Claire running in and hugging her grandmother.
