Chad gets home; Lucas tells Chad that Ann said she was out of gas, stranded and had been accosted, so he let her stay in the guest room.  Chad tells him that’s fine – and thanks Lucas for everything he and Adrian have done for him; Chad says he thinks he is ready to take care of Thomas on his own again.  Lucas understands.  But he says, since his sister (Jennifer) is the one who asked them to stay there, they better be careful about how they tell her.  Chad agrees, saying they can take their time bringing it up to her.  

Sonny recalls finding Paul on the floor, when he sees him leaving the hospital; he tells Paul he is so glad he’s okay and asks if he can buy him a cup of coffee while he waits for a friend to show.  Paul gladly accepts the invitation; they go to the pub.  They talk about the power being out and how they missed their video games; then Paul thanks him for saving his life.  Sonny tries to be modest; then says he wants to talk about what happened between them   Paul claims their “moment” was only because he thought he was a dead man; he says Sonny has made it clear that all he ever wants to be is friends, and he apologizes.  Sonny says he doesn’t have to be sorry; he just wanted to talk about it.  Paul tells him he really just wants to put yesterday behind him.  They start talking about Halloween; Paul brings up a comic convention they once went to and the green tights Sonny wore.  He mentions, at least he was wearing a mask; Paul likens it to the mask he wore for many years (hiding the fact that he was gay).  Sonny tries to tell him he has decided maybe they could be more than friends, just as Paul’s date walks in the door.  Sonny is surprised to see who Paul’s “friend” is… he knew him as a bellhop in the past, but he tells Sonny he is an administrative assistant at the hospital now.  (They don’t reveal this guy’s name, but Sonny doesn’t look truly happy to see it is him Paul has a date with.)  This guy tells Paul that Sonny looked pissed that they were going out together; he says he thinks Sonny has feelings for him.  But Paul argues that there is no way they could ever be together again because of what happened with Will.  

Gabi wakes from a dream of JJ being shot, her head on his hospital bed; Jennifer tells Julie that Gabi has been there all night.  She puts a headphone in one of his hears (the other in hers) and tells JJ that she made him this play list; she tells him she loves the look on his face when he plays guitar or listens to his music.  She wants to see that look again; she begs him to be okay, saying please wake up.   Gabi comes out to find Chad there, with Ariana; she agrees to go for a walk with him, but says she is not going very far because she is sure JJ will be waking up soon.  Gabi and Chad take Ariana to eat lunch in the square; she thanks him.  They mention how glad they are everything is back to normal; but then she gets frustrated that things aren’t over for JJ.  Chad diverts her attention with a silly story.  Lucas and Adrian come by; Adrian offers to take the kids back to the house, while they pack.  Lucas says he is going to check on Jennifer.  Chad says he is happy this is all behind them; he is looking forward to living life again.  He tells Gabi that he will do anything they need for JJ, just to let him know.  

Jennifer and Julie stand over JJ’s bed; Jen says she can’t lose him… she can’t outlive both of her children.  She questions why he wanted to be a cop; Julie reminds her it was to turn his life around, and he did.  She tells Jennifer she did a great job raising him, saying he is one of the good guys; she says he will okay.  Lucas comes to see Jennifer (reminding her that there is a meeting downstairs right now); he tells her she can’t lose focus on her recovery.  She agrees to go with him.  

Nicole tells Deimos that she has to tell him, Chloe lied to him; the baby she is carrying IS his.  He looks stunned.  He questions the paternity test; she tells him Chloe got the doctor to fake the results.  He asks if she is absolutely sure; she shakes her head, yes.  He hugs her, thrilled that he is going to have a child.  Then he asks how long she has known; since August, she tells him; she says she begged her to tell him, but Chloe said she didn’t know the real him – he gets mad.  She explains Chloe is her dearest, oldest friend so she made her this promise; she says it was only because she didn’t know him that well at the time.  He angrily tells her truth matters to him, and questions how he could ever trust her now.  He walks away.  She follows him and defends her position; he angrily comes back at her, saying he would never lie about something like this.  He says it is unforgivable, kicking a crate on the dock as he storms off.  She doesn’t let him leave, though, she pleads her case once again and begs him to tell her she didn’t misjudge him – that she hasn’t made a horrible mistake.  He still looks pissed.  He says it doesn’t surprise him that a woman who would steal another woman’s baby and let her believe the child was dead, would do this.  She slaps him when he says no child would want her for a mother in the first place; how dare he, she asks, knowing she miscarried two babies.  He tells her he was wrong to think that they were soul-mates; he leaves her crying.  

Now back by JJ’s bedside, Jennifer is thrilled when he starts waking up; he is apologizing to Gabi for not being more careful.  Nicole calls to warn Chloe that she let her secret out; she says Deimos is angry and she doesn’t know what he is going to do next.  Deimos gives money to a man, telling him to take it easy on this woman because she is pregnant with his child, but not to come back to town until he has her with him.
