Hope starts to wake up; Eric tells her she seems to be spiking a fever again.  He guesses it’s septic shock; he tells her to try to relax.  He goes out to get some more antibiotics.  Hope has audio hallucinations, lying in her bed; she tries to get up and walk.  Now Hope is up wandering around outside in the cold; police pull up, with lights flashing.  Eric comes back and finds Hope missing; Shaun shows up and offers to help in the search.  Someone grabs Hope from behind… it’s Eric.  He carries her back away from the search party.  Shaun calls Ciara; she says she just wants this nightmare to be over.  Eric gives Hope her pills and a glass of water; she goes to sleep.  Ciara hears that the Mayor has issue excessive force orders; she worries Hope may get in the line of fire.  Shaun assures his sister that their mom will find a way to stay safe until this is over.  Claire sees Ciara coming out of the diner; and starts to talk about a movie that is supposedly being made about her grandma.  Ciara gets angry at her for being worried about a movie with all that’s going on with Hope in jail and crime all around.  Ciara begins to cry; Claire hugs her and Ciara heads home.  

Theo comes out of the shower, in a towel (having been at the gym); Ciara tells him it’s okay, she’s just worried about her mom.  Theo tells her that he asked his dad to have the police stand down; he said he’d see what he could do.  She thanks him; he tells her he just doesn’t want her to worry, and he hugs her.  Claire starts to walk in, but stops when she sees them hugging.  She hides around the corner until they are done hugging; Theo goes back to the bathroom and Ciara goes to her room to study.  Claire comes in; she is pissed.  When Theo comes back out, Claire makes a big deal out of being all worried and starts fake-crying so Theo will hug her; he does.  

Julie gets angry with Jen when she sees the article she is trying to publish; she says Doug read the article as if it were an obituary.  He is afraid he’s never going to see his daughter again and he’s not sleeping well, which means she’s not sleeping well either.  Jen hugs her; Eric looks over his shoulder in the background.  Julie gets a call and has to go; Jen starts to head out and runs right into Eric.  She asks what he is doing here.  He tells her he received a pardon from the Governor, but asks her not to say anything; he says he’s just here to see his dad and then he has to take off.  She asks if she will see him again and he says he doesn’t think so.  

Jen runs into Ann, excuses herself and goes on by; Ann stops her and tells her that Adrian hired her, and she is there to have some papers signed.  Jen cannot believe they have to work together.  Paul, Steve, Kayla and Marlena discuss the plan to put Marlena out there as bait; Paul doesn’t agree with their plan.  He tells them he has to call his dad and run it by him.  Marlena protests, but Paul says he is going to call; Marlena asks to talk to Paul privately for a second.  Kayla tells Rafe and Steve that Paul is right; they can’t give him any assurances.  Steve says that’s why where the bait is placed as to be as irresistible as Marlena is; someplace he really loves.  Marlena tells Paul he can’t tell his dad, because he would want to be here; she tells him if she needs protection, she trusts him to be there.  He concedes.  Rafe comes back in with a flyer for a masquerade ball?  Rudolpho Muradi is on the list for the ball.  On the docks, a pale, red-haired boy delivers an invitation to the ball to “Mr. Muradi.”
