Chad runs into Gabi walking through the park; Arianna reaches out for him. He takes her and she hugs him.  Gabi tells him she has been having bad dreams; he sits down and plays with her.  Chad tells Gabi he needs to impress this lady client; she gives him her advice and goes shopping for him, bringing back a nice gray shirt and green tie, telling him to match it with the tweed jacket she got him a few months ago.  They seem to have a hard time saying goodbye, but finally do; she goes on her way.  Joey, Claire and Theo are all carrying boxes into the communal apartment, while Claire takes pictures of herself for her social media page; Ciara suggests she sit her phone down and pick up a box, but she acts like a princess, so Ciara tells her so.  

Claire's mom and dad show up for a visit, and when Belle offers to help the other kids get more boxes, Claire complains to her dad about being called a ‘princess.’  Shaun asks if she is acting like one; she says of course not.  Abe comes by to talk to Theo and Claire; he makes them promise there won’t be any parties going on there, and says he is watching them, even though he isn’t living in his house.  Theo says he wouldn’t want it any other way.  They order pizza for the kids and say goodbye; Shaun hugs Ciara and promises her that Hope will be fine.  Claire starts bitching about the shows her grandparents watch every night; Theo says his dad watches it too… Ciara says Jennifer watches it too.  They all wonder about the intrigue; Jade says her folks watch cable news every night and yell at the t.v.  Everyone looks at her, as if that was a weird thing to say (sounds completely normal to me).  Ciara mentions how long the four of them have known each other; Joey says they should promise to always be friends.  They all agree, and then Joey looks over a Jade, sitting alone at the table; she is obviously the outsider and feeling it.  (I must say, I like this Jade much better than the first, though… I find her quite likeable.)  

Abe, Shaun and Belle are having a drink at the pub and talking about how their kids have grown; they all agree that this is probably going to be harder on them than it will on the kids.  Claire and Ciara get in a fight after Theo and Joey decide to go off and play games in the other room; Ciara storms out, and Claire calls out to her saying they have a mess to clean up.  Jade stands up and says she’ll do it; Claire swooshes her hair and says she forgot that she was even there.  She semi-thanks Jade and hands her the plate she is already holding, and leaves the room; Jade shrugs her shoulders and tells herself, no matter what this should be interesting.  

Chloe confesses that Holly is Nicole’s child, with the constant prompting of Brady; she tries twice to just leave and he stops her.  Nicole is confused at firsts, then astounded at the news; she does not know what to say.  She stands up and asks to hold her, but Chloe refuses; she gives the baby to an officer instead.  She defends her decision not to tell Nicole, saying Holly may not be biologically hers, but she can’t let Deimos raise her.  Nicole tells her that is not her choice to make; Chloe thinks it is.  Things escalate to the point that Nicole is screaming, “give me my baby.”
