Chad stares at Abigail in her tight blue dress; they are both acting very awkward.  Abigail gives a little speech about how she and Gabi are trying to be honest with each other and rebuild their friendship; she says Gabi wants their marriage to work because she is not a home-wrecker.  He steps closer.  She tells him she is part of the family, like it or not; he says he likes it, and they kiss.  Just as things are getting really passionate, Andre bursts in and says they have a business emergency; Kate comes in right behind him.  Chad tells Andre to go ahead and tell everything to the ladies.  He does.  Chad dismisses the situation and tells them he and his wife want some private time; he tells Kate and Andre to strategize their hearts out.  He hangs a ‘do not disturb’ sign on the door, bringing up a memory of their wedding night, then apologizes.  She says she never wants to forget what they said that day; he tells her he loves her, and they both look at the bed.  Chad undresses Abigail slowly, to a nice love-song; she returns the favor as they continue kissing.  They lay down on the bed and the camera pans down to the floor; next shot, they are tangled up in the sheets together, careful to keep them wrapped around them while they roll around together doing a lot of kissing and maybe some love-making.  

Kate and Andre proceed to argue whether Chad is better off with Abby or Gabi; Andre tells her it doesn’t matter because that ship has sailed.  He reminds her they have a child together, who is related to her child, so that makes her family; she disagrees.  They get pretty angry about it, as she adds that she blames him for her breakup with Eduardo; she picks up her cup and takes a drink.  Lucas is sitting at a table at the café; Adrian shows up and asks if she can sit down.  She is putting on a good front; he tells her that her fighting spirit and feistiness is one reason he wants to marry her.  Her smile kind of fades.  She tells him she can’t be with anyone now; she feels she has to go through this alone.  She says she’ll have no hard feelings if either he or Justin want to move on; he takes her hand and says he’ll wait as long as it takes.  She gets a call about newspaper business; she hangs up and says she needs some one to fill in for her when she doesn’t feel up to getting out of bed.  Just then Anne walks in; Lucas says he thinks he knows who she can get.  Adrian doesn’t look happy with that idea, but ends up hiring her, saying she has to run it by Jennifer though.  

Steve, Kayla, Marlena and Rafe are still in Europe; they are discussing what else they can do, but exhausting all possibilities, Rafe says all they can do is wait and pray for a miracle.  For some reason, everyone decides they should go get ice cream; Rafe gets angry with them, saying Hope’s life is on the line and he feels he’s the only one who gets that.  The guys end up arguing; Kayla tells them to calm it down some.  She says she and Steve will just take a walk; Marlena asks Rafe if it’s really Steve he is angry with.  He admits he is just angry with the situation.  Steve and Kayla sit down at a patio café; a palm reader comes by…she tells Steve she sees a wedding in his future.  She sees something frightening in Kayla’s palm; ashes, she says, and the Phoenix. Rafe gets a call; he says they still have one more shot at proving Steffano’s alive.  

Hope holds some kind of religious pennant, telling Eric she’s trying to stay strong; he says he has something that might help, and injects her.  She says she thinks God sent him to take care of her.  She asks if she should keep running or turn herself in; he tells her Steve and Rafe are working on finding evidence of her innocence.  He tells her at least she killed a devil; he gets up, as he says, “I killed a saint.”  He brings back more cool water to wipe her face down; her wound is infected and she’s burning up with fever now.  (He looks pretty sweaty too;-).  As he wipes her forehead, he completely misses blood running down the right side.  She tells him he is a good man and there is always redemption; he says there is no redemption for him.  He realizes how hot she is, grabs her and takes her outside; she drops her pennant.  He brings her back in, wet and cold now and wraps her back up in the blanket.
