Rafe, Marlena, Steve and Paul are in Europe, looking for Steffano; Rafe talks to Shane who has set up a meeting for them.  Steve says he will be going over photos and stuff his other contacts have; Marlena and Paul go to ask questions at a local café.  Steve tells them to be careful; Steffano may know they are there and could even show up.  Marlena says she hopes so.  Rafe meets with a woman, an agent, who thinks she saw Steffano; she says there was a long table of illegal arms dealers.  She said the head of the table, Mr. “D” wore a hat pulled down over his forehead and the lights were turned down low; she says it’s a maybe, not a definite, but she’s glad they are following up on it.  Rafe asks her if she could set up a meeting, claiming they have a multi-million dollar shipment.  She says she will do what she can.  

Paul and Marlena get to the café and ask the waiter about Steffano’s picture; the waiter does recall someone who looked like that, a couple of weeks ago he said, he came in there.  Marlena is encouraged.  As they talk, a man in a black coat and hat walks by them and sits down at a table next to them; Paul gets up to take a better look, and try to discretely take a picture on his phone.  When he stands up, gunshots ring out; the man gets up and leaves.  Paul follows him; Marlena goes to look for the shooter.  Marlena finds a woman, she calls ‘Anna’ (?) and asks what she thinks she’s doing.  

Hope is checking herself out of the infirmary; Hattie tells her she should stay as long as they will let her.  Hope says she’ll be fine… Hattie fears Hope will be killed, although, she says, the girls are organizing, hoping to keep the two bullies from taking control.  Hope asks Hattie for more information on the man she used to be with; she said he was a “good speaker” and described one-of-a-kind, golden pocket watch he carried.  The scene flashes to Andre, looking at an extremely fancy gold pocket watch.  Hmmm.  He talks to his ‘dead’ father; he tells him he is done playing by his rules.  Annabelle comes in to see Hope (the ‘newbie’) and tells her that she has found five more girls who are willing to back her; she says they really need her out there.  Hattie tells hope she and the others will do whatever they have to do to support her; Hope says she doesn’t want any more violence.  Hope goes to talk to Sheila (one of the two bullies); she tells her that they need to find a way to maintain peace.  She seems to be reaching her, but then Sheila’s buddy, Cocoa, come in and they both get ‘tough’ again, leaving Hope confused.  Sheila tells Cocoa that she has heard most of “gen pop” is standing by Hope, so if it comes down to a show of force, they are screwed.  They decide they need to kill Hope.  Hattie and Annabelle find Hope and tell her that there is a target on her back; she says she knows, but she refuses to let them do anything about it.  Hattie says she has an idea.  

Joey tries to comfort Jade, who is back at the hospital for a follow-up with her OB.  He says they could try to have another baby; she asks why he would want that, when he didn’t even want this one.  He offers to go in with her, but she says no; she feels that she is on her own with this.  Joey tells his mother that he feels this is a punishment for him killing Ava; Kayla tries to tell him that just isn’t true.  She says Jade lost the baby because her body decided the baby wasn’t viable; it happens more often than people realize.  Kayla questions whether he ever made an appointment with the psychiatrist she recommended (“Dr. Howard”); he says now, but he realizes that he needs to.  He says loosing this baby has changed him; he feels he has to find a way to make up for what he has done.  Joey asks his mom if Jade can still stay with them; he says she needs to know that they aren’t just going to abandon her, like her family did, because there is no baby now.  When Jade comes out, she starts to walk past Joey; he tells her to wait.  She says he doesn’t have to pretend he likes her anymore; Joey tells her he isn’t pretending… he tells her he is her friend and he is still there fore her.  He says she can still stay with them; she asks why.  She says they only accepted her because they thought they were going to be a family; she says she’s going home to pack her bags.
