John, Marlena, and Adrian
have coffee at the diner; they discuss how people have come together and talk
about their upcoming wedding…they say they shouldn’t be putting off
happiness. Orpheus is dead. The guys take off to go set up their new
business “Black Patch” investigative services; Marlena mentions how happy Steve
seems, and Kayla asks for her help with a surprise.
Kate and Andre have lunch and drinks; she brings up Tony, and
Andre says everyone loved him best; she says he should ask himself why. He tells her this lunch could be a valid
DeMira business expense; he asks her about the DeMira shipping business
revenue, and refers to it as ‘poaching’ – Kate says that was seizing the
moment. Marlena comes by and commends
Andre on his bravery and loyalty to friends and family; he says he has an
appointment and has to go. Marlena sits
down and tells Kate they sound like an old, married couple, the way they are
bickering; then she tells Kate that she needs to be careful.
Hope is looking through a drawer; it has a
gift box in it with a dress Aiden bought for her – a gift to show her how much
he loves her, he says. He tells her he
wants to have lunch; she says she doesn’t have time for lunch because she is
backed up on paperwork. He threatens
her with turning her confession in; she says she isn’t going to let him
blackmail her. He turns and runs into
Rafe, who tells him he is tired of having this same conversation; he tells him
to leave Hope alone. Aiden threatens to
call the commissioner and report improprieties; Hope steps in and tells him he
has a lunch appointment he doesn’t want to miss, so he should go. Aiden leaves. Rafe asks her what she thinks
she’s doing; he tells her she cannot go along with Aiden’s demands. He tells
her they will handle this together and take him down; he asks her to tell him
how Aiden found out about Steffano. She
refuses. Roman calls Rafe into his office.
The guys get done with the search for office space; Kayla texts Steve
and tells him to meet her down on the docks.
He runs down there in a panic and finds a little table set up, with
flowers on it, a candle, and decorative lights all around; he tells her she
scared him. She apologizes; she tells
him she just wanted him to know she appreciates him. She says this gesture represents a new beginning. She reminds him they used to spend a lot of
time down there when they first got together; she said it seemed like the right
place to start over. She tells him that
she has realized going slow means there is a chance something could happen; she
doesn’t want to miss out on any more time with him. They make a toast, click their bottles and laugh. He tells her that he has realized he should
talk more, and that he is going to keep going to therapy. She tells him she has ordered the full
package of cable for him to watch in THEIR living room. She asks him to dance, turning music on her
phone; they kiss and basically just hang on to each other as the music
plays.
Rafe comes out of his office to
find Hope gone; he looks in her drawer and sees the dress is gone. Hope shows up at the assigned room, for her
lunch with Aiden; she sits down and says, “let’s get this over with.” He tells her how much he loves her; she
tells him this is not love… forcing her to wear a particular dress,
blackmailing her into being with him.
She insists he doesn’t really love her.
He apologizes for lying to her before, and tells her he just wants to
get past all of that; she tells him they can’t… she won’t ever forget, and she
won’t ever love him. He asks her to
dance with him when a certain song comes on; she says no. He takes out his phone and plays the
conversation with Rafe; she tells him to turn it off and gets up to dance with
him. She is certainly not happy about
it; he smiles and spins her around.
Eduardo goes to see Kate, and confesses how badly he’s been feeling about
what he did and all he caused; she tells him all he intended to do was protect
his family, so he should go easy on himself.
He tells her he is planning on staying in Salem; she says she would like
the chance to get to know each other… he says he’s been thinking the same
thing. They smile sweetly at each
other; he kisses her hand. Hope tires
of the dance when Aiden tries to lean over and kiss her neck; she says she’s
had enough, she can’t do this – she sternly looks at him and tells him he is
NOT going to do to her, what his son did to her daughter.
