10-13-2016 (Thursday) ARMAGEDDON LOOMS

Orpheus makes his plans to “rain fire down on Salem” – Clyde hears the baby crying over Adrian’s screams; Chad appears to be dead, or unconscious, on the floor.  Clyde makes his way to the baby’s room; he still hears the crying, walks to the crib and pulls back the covers… it’s a doll, and a recording of the baby crying.  He throws the doll and turns around to realize he is locked in the room.  Adrian tells Andre to untie her; she says this is not okay.  Andre says they had to be convincing; Lucas tells him he will always be convincing as a psycho killer.  JJ arrives; he tells everyone to stay downstairs.  Chad gets up and jokingly tells Andre he thinks he enjoyed shooting him a little too much; they all giggle.  John waits by the phone; Marlena tells him watching it won’t make it ring any faster.  She tries to assure him everything will work out, even though she’s worried that her profiling might not have been perfect.  He tells her she did a great job.  

Clyde is put in handcuffs and brought downstairs; he says, “well played” to everyone, but then starts mouthing off about how Chad better still watch his back.  He says Andre is going to sell him out; Andre offers a handshake, but Chad’s hands are covered in fake blood.  They both laugh.  Lucas calls John to give him the good news; he and Marlena are relieved.  Rafe tells Hope that he has overloaded Aiden with cases from all the arrests they’ve made lately; the idea being, the busier he is, the less time he has to bother her.  He says he is going to take Aiden down.  Hope sees a box on her desk; Aiden comes out, telling her to open it – it’s a dress.  She tells him she doesn’t want it; he tells her she is going to need it.  She asks him how he thinks this is going to work; he says she just needs to give it a chance.  He asks why she still has Rafe ‘hanging on.’  She tells him she broke it off with him, reminding him that she told him Rafe wouldn’t buy it.  

Kayla and Steve talk at the diner; she reaffirms her faith in him.  He promises he will always be there for her.  Andre gives Steve a call to tell him that Clyde is in custody; he asks how everyone is.  Andre says, fine thanks… he played the scorned brother well, he says.  Steve replies, “practice makes perfect.”  They both chuckle.  Andre tells him it’s his turn to do his part; Kayla hugs him and tells him to be careful.  He promises he’ll be back.  Kayla calls Chad and tells him to tell Andre thanks for her, which surprises Chad; he wishes her luck on their end.  Andre and Chad make a toast and drink champagne.  Aiden tells Hope she is going to have dinner with him, alone; she is resisting.  He gets even more adamant about it, and closer to her face, making her obviously uncomfortable.  Rafe notices and comes over; he asks what’s going on.  He tells Aiden to leave Hope alone, and says he better stop harassing her.  

Clyde is brought into the station; Rafe welcomes him back and takes him to get settled in the interrogation room.  Aiden tells Hope he can’t wait to see her tonight, in his room, reminding her to wear the dress.  Aiden goes in to question Clyde; he tells him he knows that bullet Abe took was meant for him… Hope saw the red dot on his chest; he tells Clyde that he will be in solitary confinement for a very, very long time.  Rafe questions Hope again about what’s going on with her and Aiden; she gets mad at him and tells him to back off because he’s only making it worse for her.  She tells him to let her do this; Aiden smirks in the background.  Orpheus meets a man, giving him a bag (full of bombs I guess) with a map, directions and timing in case he forgets – he tells him “that is Armageddon in installments” and says he better not mess it up.  John calls Orpheus, on Clyde’s phone; Orpheus is surprised to hear John’s voice and hangs up.  John calls back; Orpheus tells him he is not turning himself in.  John says he knows that; he offers to meet him, himself, with the money.  Orpheus tells him to meet him at Pier 28, alone, in twenty minutes.  Marlena looks frightened for John; he promises to be home in time for dinner.  

Gabi shows up with a clean shirt, as Chad is talking to Thomas; he thanks her.  She goes to leave and he tells her she can’t go; it’s not safe – he tells her to call her boyfriend, see if he agrees.  They bet fifty dollars; she loses.  He offers her a glass of champagne; they hear an explosion.   John and Steve are on the docks; another explosion…Kayla and Marlena run for cover in the diner.
