Theo tells Valerie to explain herself; she tells Theo that her life, and what she does with it, is none of his business.  He says if she hadn’t “latched onto” his father, it wouldn’t be his business; she turns the tables, asking what if his father was spying on him and Claire.  Theo says he wouldn’t like it.  He admits maybe he took it too far; she mocks him… he asks if she is going to tell his dad.  Abe walks in at that point; he says it’s a nice surprise seeing the two of them together.  He asks what brought this about; Valerie takes credit, saying she asked Theo to meet her.  She claims she just wanted to get to know him.  Abe goes to order at the bar; Valerie tells Theo she won’t tell his father anything.  As far as she is concerned, she says, they have settled this and it’s over.  He apologizes and leaves.  

Claire goes to see Ciara at work, at the hospital; she tells her that she and Theo got caught listening to Valerie’s conversation.  Ciara says she told her it was going to happen; Claire asks her just to be a friend and tell her what to do.  Ciara tries to just walk off; Claire asks what her problem is.  Ciara says she’s tired of Claire using people, like she used Theo to do her dirty work; Claire says she is just jealous because Theo is with her, and storms out of the room.  She finds Theo in the square; Ciara is behind her.  Theo tells them what happened, including the fact that Valerie didn’t rat him out to his dad; Ciara asks if he is going drop his conspiracy theory against Dr. Grant then, or what.  Claire gets a call from her mom.  Ciara tells Theo she doesn’t think Dr. Grant told anyone anything; Theo asks why she likes her.  Ciara says because she doesn’t have a reason not to; Theo says he still thinks she is lying about something.  Claire comes back and sees Ciara and Theo laughing on the bench and says she has to find a way to get those two apart, for good.

Gabi walks into the station to hear that JJ is getting a promotion, because of his work in finding a girls kidnapper.  The girl tells him he is her superhero; Gabi smiles.  She tells JJ she is proud of him; he is cold in his response.  She says it’s just strange to hear it from someone else before he tells her; he asks why he would tell her anything when they aren’t together anymore.  She tells him she didn’t come there to bother her; he asks why she did come then.  She says she got a message to come see Rafe; JJ says Rafe had to leave town on personal matters.  She is confused; she congratulates him and leaves.  The lieutenant brings JJ a file and tells him to check something out on the docks; he leaves without giving any further detail.

Chad and Abigail walk through the square with Thomas; she is extremely nervous.  He tells her she has nothing to worry about; there is nothing to hide from anymore, and he assures her that he is there with her.  They sit down at a table and coax Thomas into saying “da-da” with Chad making a video “for posterity.”  Abigail starts to cry, happy she is there to witness his first word.  Ciara comes through the square and is happy to see Abigail; Abby gets up and gives her a hug.  Ciara says she has to get going but says they should get together soon; Abby agrees.  Chad hands Thomas back to Abigail and goes to close out their tab; he walks straight into Gabi.  Awkward.  Abigail stares at them; Chad asks Abby if it’s okay that he talks with Gabi for a minute.  Abigail says she will just take Thomas on home and they can talk; she says it’s fine.  Chad promises her it will be fine; he will be home shortly.  She says okay.  

At home, she promises Thomas, no matter what happens, she will never leave him again; Andre walks into the room to see Chad.  She tells him he is not there; he says he just wants to mend fences.  He asks if she’s okay; she says she doesn’t know.  Chad and Gabi sit down on a bench in the park; he tells her he worries about her, because he cares about her.  She says it doesn’t matter anymore; he says it does.  He tells her, before her, he was just getting through the motions each day; she made him feel happy and whole again.  She says hearing this is killing her and asks him to stop; she says everything has changed because Abigail is back.  He says that doesn’t mean they don’t feel the same anymore; he says he won’t dismiss his feelings for her.  She thanks him, but wishes him and Abigail and Thomas all the happiness in the world; she tries to give her necklace back.  He asks her to please keep it, holding her hand.  Andre asks Abby how things are going with her and Chad; she says sometimes it seems like things are going wonderful, and then something happens.  Andre asks, like what; she says, Gabi.  Andre is astonished that she allowed him to talk to Gabi alone; she asks how she was supposed to stop it.  She starts to panic about Chad coming home and telling her he wants to be with Gabi after all; Andre says she needs to trust Chad.  She asks if he believes that, why he freaked out when she says he and Gabi were alone together; she knows he agrees that there may be something to worry about.  

When Chad gets home, she asks how it went; he says fine; she isn’t sure how to respond.  He tells Abby he is ready to give her everything she wants; she asks if he is sure about that.  He says yes.
