12-22-2016 (Thursday) INTRODUCING HOLLY

Nicole begs Chloe to open her eyes again; she says she already promised this little girl she wouldn’t let her grow up without her mommy (and even though she promised to take care of both kids if anything ever happened to Chloe, and would gladly do it, Nicole doesn’t want to lose her best friend).  Deimos gets a call through to Nicole and tells her that help is on its way; just after she hangs up, Brady bursts in the door.  She tells Brady they have to get Chloe help; Nicole says, if they don’t, she’s afraid Chloe won’t make it.  

Deimos and Brady get Chloe to a hospital; the doctor tells them that Chloe had a brain-bleed due to the change in pressure during labor.  Nicole goes to check on the baby; Deimos tells Brady maybe they should tell Nicole the truth, now.  Brady reminds they are still not certain about the ‘truth’ – Deimos says, then they need to find a way to figure it out fast.  The nurse asks Nicole what the baby’s name is; she chooses a festive name, Holly.  Cute.  She introduces herself as Auntie Nicole, and promises to take make sure she stays safe.  Abigail packs her bags and heads out, as her family hangs ornaments on the Horton family Christmas tree.  She sneaks into the DeMira mansion (to try to see Thomas again, I suppose).  They play a song as the family, one by one, hangs their ornaments and remembers those who are lost to them as they hang theirs; the scene flashes back and forth with Abigail sneaking through the mansion.  

Claire gives Theo her present; he is so excited when he sees the card… he asks how she even knew she wanted it.  She gives Ciara no credit, whatsoever; she says it must be that “psychic connection” they have between them.  Theo kisses her, pretty hard, in front of everyone.  Shaun comforts Ciara, asking if she’s okay; she says she just misses their mom and wishes she were there.  Later, while (almost) everyone else is otherwise distracted, Claire shows Theo the spyware she bought, and slips it into Valerie’s purse while Theo goes to ‘talk to his dad’ – Ciara sees Claire doing this.

Chad is getting dressed for the evening; Gabi walks in on him.  He tells her it’s fine; she has seen him without his shirt on before.  Chad tells Gabi that he is excited for the future and happy for the first time in a really, really, long time.  They start to kiss, and within less than a minute, start undressing; Abigail is about to open the door to a bedroom.  It’s the baby’s room; she leans over the crib and touches his face and talks to him.  I can’t believe Chad doesn’t hear her whispering on the baby monitor.  He and Gabi are too busy on the bed now, half-undressed, still kissing; but suddenly, Gabi stops.  She jumps up and says she has to get going; she has to get Ariana ready for the Christmas party.  Chad gets up and puts his shirt back on, and walks her out.  Abby starts to walk away from the crib, but can’t resist going back and picking Thomas up; she is hugging him tightly when Chad steps in the door of the baby’s room.  He sees her and can’t believe his eyes; Abigail stands there, as if frozen.
