Kayla sees Sonny in the
diner; she tells him she just visited his mom and she seems to be in good
spirits. He says that’s good, because
she doesn’t want to see him. Steve and
Paul show up; Paul brings Sonny a Sales Report, on paper, as he complains about
not being able to get a signal. Paul
assures Sonny his mom just doesn’t want him worrying about her. They discuss the “luxury goods” that Eduardo
and Dario are dealing in; they say it’s usually larger items… they decide to
keep watching them, and once they have enough evidence they can cut ties with
the Hernandez family once and for all. Sonny tells Paul he is feeling better about his mom’s chances;
Paul asks him to take a walk with him.
Sonny talks about how the most favorite gift his mom gave him was a pillow
she made for him, with his initials on it; she taught him that it wasn’t the gift
that counted, but the thought that went into it. Paul agrees and reminds Sonny how many people are there for him;
he says he will always be there for him.
Sonny nods, with longing eyes.
Pauls ‘boyfriend’ shows up just as they are about to kiss, realizing
they are sitting under mistletoe. Sonny
excuses himself by saying he has to get back to work.
Deimos tells Brady his suspicions about Chloe carrying Daniel and
Nicole’s baby; Brady questions how that could be possible. He says Philip mentioned an embryo. Brady says that it’s ridiculous to assume
that Chloe would do that; Deimos says there’s more. He points out that Nicole and Daniel had some embryos frozen;
Brady doesn’t think Chloe would have had one implanted months later, besides,
he says, she was so freaked out about the paternity test (thinking Deimos might
be the father). He also points out that
her story hasn’t made sense from the beginning; one lie after another. Brady comments that if he was this obsessed
when he thought the baby was his, it’s no wonder Chloe left town; Deimos
realizes, all of the sudden, why Chloe hasn’t told Nicole. When he says it’s all about him, Brady asks,
“isn’t it always?” Haha. Brady says that he understands Chloe’s
hesitation to have him be a part of that baby’s life. He then tells him that he can’t tell Nicole anything yet; they
have to be sure about the truth of the whole thing before saying a word. She has suffered too many miscarriages and
losses before, to suffer another one.
He agrees to help, for Nicole’s sake, as long as there are no more
abductions or druggings or anything of that sort. Deimos says he knows another way to get to the truth.
Nicole talks with Maggie about her
situation; she doesn’t understand why Chloe is so angry that she is still
seeing Deimos. Maggie tells her that
Parker said he misses her; Nicole says she misses him too. Maggie says she and Chloe have been through
so much; Nicole agrees…they’ve run the gamete from friends to enemies to
“frienemies.” Maggie suggests she call
Chloe. She does; she leaves a
message. When Deimos comes home, she
tells him and is surprised when he isn’t upset. He says he has learned never to question Maggie’s wisdom and he
wants her to be happy; he says, maybe she can convince her to come back to
town. Nicole seems completely naïve
about the reason Chloe left town in the first place. After they make love again, Nicole tells him she had a reassuring
dream about Daniel today and she believes nothing can keep them apart now. He agrees, nothing will.
Steve surprises Kayla with a gift; a
scrapbook of their life together. He
says no matter what tried to keep them apart, they’ve always found their way
back to each other. The last item in
the book is a wedding invitation, announcing their wedding… on Valentine’s
Day. He asks her how a Valentine
wedding sounds to her. She loves the
idea and says it’s the only Christmas present she needs.
Sonny meets with Brady, secretly; they both
agree that business should be conducted on the up-and-up. Sonny tells him that his father had him look
into the deal between Deimos and Eduardo; he says Deimos doesn’t care what they
are shipping, so he hired Steve and his brother to look into it. Brady asks why he did that. He says they don’t need to know the family
business, and questions if this is really about spending more time with Paul. Brady then tells Sonny that Deimos isn’t as
bad as they once thought he was; Sonny questions why he has changed his
attitude about Deimos. Brady says that
purses just aren’t worth getting anyone killed and they should let this one go;
Sonny brings up the last time they played it “fast and loose on the
docks.” Brady says if Deimos finds out he
went behind his back, he will be fired; he tells him to tell Steve and Paul to
drop the case, and to do it now. Sonny
goes back to the square to find Paul and lets them know what Brady said; Paul
is stunned to think that Brady thinks it’s better to remain ignorant about what
is truly in that shipment, but says if that’s what they really want, he’ll drop
it. Paul tells his boyfriend that Sonny
just fired him.
Before going to sleep (alone), Nicole reaches down and takes off her engagement ring,
telling Daniel that she is doing what he asked her to; she is moving on. She cries as she lays her head on her
pillow. Deimos makes a phone call to a
Dr. Lee; he says he is interested in making a substantial donation to the Brookville
Clinic. He asks that the doctor meet
with him first thing in the morning.
