Kate is angry with Andre for putting her in the position of having to steal the microchips from Eduardo.  She goes to the club to meet him for their lunch date; he has a table all prepared.  He tells her she looks exquisite today; then he receives a phone call.  Kate gets up and wanders off.  She finds the office where the man is moving information from the microchips to a computer; she introduces herself.  Eduardo walks in behind her, asking what she is doing; she says she is looking for him of course.  He tells the man to leave the room and asks what she is really doing; she tells him she was hoping to get him alone, coming on to him.  He gets up close and tells her he really needs to eat; he escorts her out of the room.  Sitting back at the table, Eduardo recalls the first time he saw Kate; he tells her he thought he wouldn’t have a chance.  She asks why.  He proceeds to compliment her and says she makes him want to be more successful than he ever thought possible and tells her he’s going to make her as proud to be seen with him as he is to be seen with her.  She gets a call and tells him it’s from Adrian; she needs to go.  He kisses her goodbye and leaves the table; Kate looks at her phone… it’s a text from Andre, asking if she got “it.”  She takes a deep breath.  Later, Eduardo goes into his office and finds the microchips missing.

Theo and Claire sit, listening to Valerie’s movements with the spy ware Claire purchased; she gets bored with it and suggests they go do something else.  Theo refuses; he says he is not quitting until he gets something on Valerie that proves she’s a liar.  Just then, they hear her tell someone on the phone that no one is more important to her than they are… and that ‘he’ is her “favorite guy.”  Theo says, that’s it – Claire adds, “the smoking gun.”  They smile at each other.  Valerie sits down with Jennifer at a table in the square; she compliments her husband’s writing, saying she’s sure Jennifer had something to do with that.  Jen smiles; she tells Valerie she is happy for her and Abe, saying he has been lonely since his wife died.  Valerie sort-of-smiles.  Jen mentions years ago when she dated her cousin; Valerie adds, yes, at a time when that was controversial to say the least.  Jen agrees, saying it’s hard to believe people were ever so ignorant and narrow-minded; she tells Jen she is not sure she’s ready to make this move permanent yet.  They decide to exchange information and Valerie finds the bug when she reaches in her purse; she tells Jennifer she’s pretty sure she knows who planted it.  She tells Theo, through the device, that she knows he’s listening; she says they need to talk and tells him to meet her at the pub.  Theo tells Claire to get out of there, saying he will take it from there.  Valerie shows up and Theo says, “let’s talk.”

Nicole doesn’t understand Nancy’s resistance to her helping take care of Holly; she decides to go to the hospital to visit Chloe – and hopefully get to see the baby.  Nancy walks into Chloe’s room, pushing the stroller; she begs Chloe to wake up, telling her she needs to know what to do.  As she tells her daughter that she thinks Nicole needs to know the truth, Nicole walks in; she doesn’t seem to hear anything, just sees the baby.  She asks if she can hold her; Nancy hesitates, but says of course.  Then she tells Nicole that she is going to take the baby back to Chicago, to stay with her brother and grandpa.  She says it’s for the best; Nicole is devastated.  She begs Nancy to let her take the baby home; Nancy tells her there is no way she’s getting her hands on this baby.  Nicole is surprised by Nancy’s hostility and tells her so; Nancy apologizes, but she says, Chloe didn’t want this baby anywhere near Deimos.  She’s not going against her wishes.  Nicole says she understands and asks to hold Holly one more time, just to say goodbye…adding that she will gladly drive to Chicago anytime they need her help.  As Nicole holds the baby again, she remembers her birth; she recalls cleaning her up and handing her to Chloe, Chloe looking at Nicole as she agreed Holly looked just like her mother.  She tells Chloe she needs to wake up because a baby needs to be with her mother.

Deimos asks Brady where Eve disappeared to; he tells Deimos that she left Salem, because of him.  She said he treated her like a servant; as much as she loved taking care of Tate, she couldn’t put up with Deimos.  Deimos apologizes; Brady tells him he needs to learn to play with others better.  Deimos says he’s trying.  Brady gets the results from his new test; the results are inconclusive – it says the sample was compromised.  Deimos gets angry and says he’s heading to the hospital; Nicole was hoping the baby would be there and he says they have to get the proof no matter what the hell it takes.  Nancy walks back into the hospital room to hear Nicole saying goodbye to the baby; it seems to get to her.  She pulls Nicole away from the stroller and says she has to tell her something.  Just as she is about to say more, Deimos steps into the room.  Nancy takes the stroller and leaves.  Nicole tells Deimos that she is taking Holly back to Chicago because she’s afraid she has become too attached to the baby; she adds, the thing is, it’s the truth.  Deimos promises her she will see that baby again very soon.
