Abe tries to reassure Theo that he is going to be okay; Theo is upset because the doctor said he would be okay after the first surgery. He doesn’t trust her; Abe does his best to convince Theo that it was his fault, not hers, because he had never gotten a checkup to find out that his heart had a faulty valve. Theo leaves the room, upset. Abe tries to excuse Theo’s behavior by explaining that you just have to know him; Valerie says she is familiar with the symptoms of autism. He tells her that he is worried about Theo, as he had just tried to go after the man who shot him; Valerie tells Abe that Theo seems to have a good head on his shoulders and she’s sure he will just fine. Ciara gives Theo a costume to wear and begs him to come to the festival (it's a superhero uniform, with a giant “T” on it). She reminds him that she always wants to his friend.
Hope and Rafe are going through the stacks of paperwork, when Roman comes in and tells them to get down to the Halloween festival being thrown by the DeMira’s; it is being thrown in Abigail’s honor, as well as the first responders. Hope talks Rafe into wearing a costume she had picked out; it matches the one she’s going to wear. At home, Doug and Julie are dressed in roman garb; Hope is dressed as Cleopatra and Ciara is a police-woman. Hope talks to Ciara about the trust fund she just found out her grandfather is leaving her; she said Bo always felt the Kariakis fortune was created with ‘blood-money’ and wouldn’t want her to have it. Hope is asking Ciara to turn it down; Ciara is disappointed at first, but then agrees.
People wander around the square, which is all decorated for Halloween; Andre welcomes John and Marlena, acting disappointed when Marlena tells him they are not going to stay because she has a party to attend for the kids in the hospital; he tells her to have fun, but hurry back. She comments about how this is unusual for a DeMira, to be so civic-minded; Andre says he would like the name DeMira to be known for decency. Marlena tells him she almost thinks he really means that; as they walk away, Andre smiles and says, “if you only knew.” Hope, Julie and Doug arrive at the festival; Hope finds Rafe (who is dressed like Julius Ceasar). Julie mentions to Hope that she had seen Valerie Grant, Abe’s surgeon, at the hospital; she said it was awkward… for some reason, Valerie did not seem happy to see her. Andre approaches them, welcoming them to the festival; he boasts about how this is in the honor of the PD for doing such a good job. Roman thinks he’s laying it on a little thick. Andre laughs and says he is letting bygones by bygones. Hope says that was creepy.
Claire finds Theo sitting on the park bench... he says he didn’t want to come to the festival; he wants to go back to the hospital. Claire tells him they should go then; she takes his hand and says she will handle Ciara if she gets mad. The deputy mayor begins the ceremony, announcing that the fund raising is in honor of Abigail Devoraugh and will go to benefit research for aplastic anemia; he says the even is also in support of the local law enforcement for all their hard work to keep the town safe. He then calls Hope and Rafe to the stand; a recording of Hope, saying she killed Steffano, begins to play. Andre chuckles to himself.
At the hospital, a magician begins the show. Marlena asks where they found this magician; Kayla says he volunteered. Marlena looks concerned. The magician asks for two volunteers; then requests Kayla and Marlena to be those volunteers. He has them each step into a box standing on stage; the lights go out, the magician is gone… and so are Kayla and Marlena. John and Steve receive a message; the magician was Orpheus.
