Lucas and Aiden, dressed as
a knight and a Lady, run into Justin as they stroll through the park; Justin
doesn’t look happy. He heads on to the
fundraiser. Gabriel is dressed as a
Mexican maiden, as is Adriana; Chad comes out, dressed as Zoro. They are headed to the fundraiser. The recording continues to play, “I killed
Steffano,” as Hope stands, helpless; Rafe goes to shut off the source. He pulls a device out of Andre’s hands and
smashes it to the floor. Andre tells
him, he can’t save Hope this time. Rafe
grabs Andre by the shirt; Roman pulls him off.
Ciara asks her mother what’s going on, insisting on staying by her side;
Hope tells Julie and Doug to take Ciara home.
Andre demands that justice be done; the Deputy Mayor concludes the
ceremony and suggests this conversation be continued at the police
station.
Chad storms off, upset by the
news; Gabi tries to console him… he wonders how Hope could have killed his
father and simply wandered around town like nothing had happened. Chad vows to get to the bottom of this. Doug, Adrian, Julie and Lucas bring Ciara
home; they are all hesitant to tell Jennifer what happened. As Ciara tries to explain about the
recording, Jennifer recalls Hope confessing to her; Ciara is shocked that she
already knows, and asks if it’s true then.
Rafe questions how Andre got a recording of their conversation;
Roman asks Andre the same question.
Andre says it doesn’t matter where he got it, but he says, he made many,
many copies. The Mayor tells Hope that
he doesn’t believe this – she’s a decorated cop, he insists, and he vows to
find out how Andre got her voice on tape confessing to murder. The Mayor leaves; Rafe and Roman
follow. Hope goes in to talk to Andre
in the conference room; he explains to her that he broke into Aiden’s room,
guessed her date of birth as his password and found the recording, and made
copies. He tells her, she had to know
that he would seek revenge for being framed by her. She tells Andre that his father made her, his prisoner,
brainwashed her, kidnapped her baby, and did everything in his power to destroy
her happiness; he also put her family through hell, she adds.
Andre tells Hope that maybe they can find a
less barbaric but equally effective way for her to atone for her sins. The Mayor, Roman and Rafe return; Hope tells
them that she has something to say that she should have said a long time ago. She tells them that the recording was real;
she confesses to killing Steffano. Chad
is standing outside the office door.
Steve
and John question how Orpheus is still alive; they return to their office to
start investigating. They find a
clue. Marlena and Kayla are tied to
chairs; Orpheus taunts them, saying this is no dream…it’s their worst
nightmare. He explains to the women,
how his friend, Laslo, retrieved and revived him after he was left for dead in
the morgue. He tells them that he is
going out for a little trick-or-treating, adding the real fun will begin when
he gets back. John and Steve go to the
docks, where they see somebody in a magician’s costume; they point their guns
and tell him to turn around. It’s just
a kid. He offers them candy. Orpheus comes back with two wooden coffin
boxes; he puts them each in one and nails them shut.
