Andre tells Laura he is upset with her; apparently, he has been paying her to hide Abigail and he trusted her to keep Abigail hidden.  He ponders over a solo game of chess; he makes a move.  Kate comes in and sits down.  Marlena visits with Hope before her hearing; she tells her everything will be alright… she is helping with the psych evaluations and says her lawyer will find a way to keep her out of prison.  Rafe comes to talk to Andre; he says he wants to make sure he is sticking to his agreement with Hope, not to say anything about his and Roman’s involvement; he assures Rafe that he wants Hope to pay.  

Hope goes in for her arraignment; the prosecutor asks for ‘special circumstances’ due to the number of bullets in the body.  Hope fears that means she will be facing the death penalty.  Justin comes to talk to Sonny about his duties for Titan; after he leaves, Sonny sees Paul and his beau having breakfast.  He offers Paul a job working with him, doing surveillance on the docks.  Steve goes to meet someone on the docks; it is Teresa’s father, but he’s surprised to see him.  He asks why he’s there; he says it’s family business, and he’s trying keep a low profile – he is the ‘client’ who contacted him.  He asks Steve about Hope and asks if there is any way he can help.  

Teresa meets with her dad in the park; she tells him Brady is going crazy, leaving voice messages.  But she admits her plan is killing her; he doesn’t deserve this, she says.  Her dad asks her just to tell Brady the truth; she says she can’t, ever, tell him.  She gets a text from Mateo; he demands a meeting, so she goes to an alley where she finds him.  She asks why he wants her so bad; he says he loves her, and she’s the one who got away… she says if he really loves her, he would let her go.  He says he tried everything he could to get her out of his system, but it is impossible; so he came to find her.  He has plans to “rule the world” he says, and a king needs a queen; he holds her face, not so gently.  She says she just needs a little more time to make a clean get away (to convince Brady she doesn’t love him) so Brady doesn’t come after them.  

Brady talks to Marlena and decides that a vacation is what he and Teresa need; yeah, that’ll fix everything.  Teresa goes home and considers packing; she lays down on the bed and cries.  When she hears Brady, she jumps up and puts on a different face; she ‘hides’ a bag of pills in her clothes.  He tries to talk to her, but she tells him she just wants to sleep, as she lays back down and rolls over.  He tells her he wants to take a trip; she says, “whatever,” and gets up to go take a shower.  He finds the pills.
