Abby bumps into Sonny in the square… they reminisce, mentioning Gabi; she asks if he knows how Chad and Gabi still feel about each other.  He says he keeps anything told to him in the strictest confidence; she accepts that, and the conversation changes to questions about his life.  She asks if there is anyone special; he grins.  They go shopping; she asks if he is avoiding her question… he confesses his moment with Paul, on New Year’s Eve.  He says it’s not that big of a deal; she says he is beaming and she couldn’t be happier.

Paul tells Rafe the key belongs to a safety deposit box, and he has located the box; they go to see if they can get into it.  Shane got them clearance; they show Steffano’s picture to the banker and he verifies he is the owner of the box, but he says the man’s name is something else (I didn’t catch).  They go through the items, finding a chess piece ‘the Queen’ but not much more… some papers, a property deed in the name of Rudolfo Muradi for two properties; they begin thinking this is all a set up, a game Steffano is playing with them, possibly trying to lure them somewhere.  They say it’s all they have and they are going to work with it.  They each check out a house on the property, come back and say that they were both abandoned; nothing there.  Shane stakes them out for twenty-four hours.  

Jen JJ eat lunch at the pub; she tells him she is proud and calls him “Detective”… she asks if he might have another chance with Gabi?  He tells her they are over for good… tells her about Lani.  He says he doesn’t blame Gabi.  Chad and Gabi talk in the park; he thanks her for the warning about Deimos trying to kill Andre.  She says she.didn’t want him getting hurt.  Chad assures her it will be fine, but she fears things are going to get worse.  He comes home and grabs Abigail from behind, squeezing her; she squeals happily, but then he confesses that he was just with Gabi – just thanking her for saving Andre.  She acts like it doesn’t bother her at all, but when he goes to make a business call, her expression changes.  

Hope presses Eric for his story; he says, another time… the knocking continues.  Eric says he has plan… Policeman comes in and the place is clean, bed made; Eric is on probation – swears he knows nothing of Hope’s escape and tells them to look around all they want.  After they leave, Hope comes out; she was somewhere behind loose boards in the dining room?  She insists he tell her why he didn’t go home after getting out on parole; he tells her just to rest and be quiet so her stitches don’t come out, as he helps her back onto the bed.  He tells her he did it all, therapy and counseling, was trying to get better; a woman who he once ministered to was on a ledge about to jump… they needed him to talk her down, so they took him to the hospital where he climbs out on the ledge and talks to this woman; she’s surprised he remembers her, gets upset when he mentions her dad.  She’s a cutter, as is obvious by the scars on her arm; he says he’s not judging her, just wants to help.  He gets her to look at him; scene flashes back to Hope, saying his family must be so proud.  He says he hasn’t finished the whole story… back on the ledge, the girl sits down; he crouches next to her, tells her he has messed up too.  She questions how, as he is a priest; he says he is a man.  She grabs his hand and he begins to help her over to the window.  

JJ tells his mom he has to get back to work; she asks about the case, just something down at the docks, he says; can’t talk about it.  Leaves.  Dario tells Eduardo that Kate didn’t steal the drive… it was Deimos.  Eduardo feels bad for accusing her now and saying what he said to her; Dario tells him they have to focus on this war.  JJ walks in, flashing his badge… there to investigate accusations of bribery.  Eduardo refuses to give any information; JJ says he will be keeping a very close eye on his business down at the docks.  JJ says it isn’t personal; Eduardo says it’s always personal.  JJ comes back to the park to find his mom on the phone with somebody; he looks disappointed or surprised.  She says she wouldn’t be a responsible journalist if she didn’t investigate; he says this is too dangerous, and he doesn’t want her anywhere near it.  He walks away; she calls right back saying she needs to know whatever they can find out about GDR and their business dealings down at the dock.  Gabi meets with Dario, asking what she can do to help; now she is just concerned about the safety of their family.  He tells her to get “her boyfriend” to back off of their family.  She says even if he was still her boyfriend, she couldn’t tell him not to do his job; she says if they are doing something wrong, they are the ones who need to stop, before someone gets hurt.  

Chad calls Dario; he asks to meet, saying they need to have a sit down with Sonny Kariakis.  He agrees; he tells Gabi to stay out of this.  She follows him.  Dario asks for a promise in writing that GDR won’t get lost in the shuffle just because they aren’t as big as DeMira or Titan; Gabi walks into a dark, empty office to find Abby already there, snooping around.  He says everything he told that girl, to get her off the ledge, was a lie… calls himself a fraud.  Hope tells Eric everyone would love it if he came home; he gets angry, saying he is never going home.  He leaves the room and she passes out again.
