Nicole contemplates her
decision to walk away from Deimos; Brady sees her, hugs her and asks if she’s
okay. She tells him about Chloe nursing
her baby. She is surprised to learn
that Brady doesn’t know all the things that Deimos has done; she tells him that
he poisoned Andre and had Dario beaten up.
She tells Brady that she knows Deimos is not the monster people think he
is; this would be a lot easier if that’s all he was, she says. Deimos tries to call again. She isn’t sure she can forgive him for the
things she knows he’s done, and she worries about what other horrible things he
is doing right now.
Deimos gets a call; he says to “keep Chad and Gabi on ice” until someone turns over “the key.” Nicole tells Brady that she almost had everything she’s ever wanted; but at the same time, she has never felt so far away. She is afraid that Belle will bring up her past in court and make her look like a terrible person, whether she is with Deimos or not. Deimos stands in the doorway, listening. Brady tells Nicole that he is on her (and Daniel’s) side and he will do whatever he can to help bring Holly home. Deimos walks in; he tells Nicole he’s been worried about her. Brady asks about the issues Deimos is having with the DeMira and Hernandez families; Deimos assures him he has it handled and asks to speak with Nicole alone. Brady tells Nicole he’s there if she needs him. Deimos does his best to explain to her that he has done the things he’s done because he will do anything to protect her and his family. She tells him that she worries about retaliation from the families he has hurt; he begs her just to trust him. She tells him he has to earn her trust; she says if she hears of one more violent act, they are done. She leaves the room.
In the next room, Victor offers Deimos a drink; he tells him he heard about Dario and says if he is going to try to eliminate their enemies, he needs to get the job done. Nicole bumps into Brady in the square; he notices she has a bag of diapers, baby bottles and formula. He tells her she can’t go to Chloe’s; he grabs her and hugs her, and tells her she just has to hang on a little longer, and says she can hang on to him. He tells her he will be there for her as long as she needs him to be; she hugs him back and thanks him. Deimos gets on the phone and tries to bribe a judge into ruling in Nicole’s favor; Victor then asks him if he would like to share how he is getting the other families to cooperate. Of course, he doesn’t; he changes the subject back to Nicole and Chloe. He says Chloe is standing in the way of his happiness with Nicole.
The Masked Ball begins and our friends discuss their strategy as they enter; I really like Paul’s mask (a golden leaf). Sonny tries to inquire about Steffano’s arrival but the doorman is a “tool,” as he puts it; he gets nowhere with him. Steve tries to calm Kayla’s fears by telling her they should just try to enjoy the party; they kiss. Sonny and Paul get closer; they decide that they should ‘hang out’ more often. A man steps into the room; the doorman points out Sonny and opens a side door, which the man walks out of. Marlena says she thinks she sees Steffano and she decides to follow him; her tiny, sparkly blue mask matches her dress beautifully. The rest of them worry this could be a diversion; the man Rafe followed wasn’t Steffano. Marlena begins to say there is no one out on the balcony; a hand touches her shoulder and she gasps.
A detective walks in, just as Hope starts to leave Hattie; Hope turns to look at some equipment, pretending to be doing paperwork. He begins to question Hattie as to whether or not she has heard from Hope; Hattie does her best to act completely normal, then asks if they could have some privacy. Hope nods her head and leaves. The detective soon figures out that the “doc” was Hope and he runs after her. Another detective shows up at Eric’s place with a search warrant; he tells Eric they are going to bring Hope in, dead or alive, adding it’s up to her. Hope ducks behind a crate in an alleyway as the first detective pursues her; he thinks he hears something and turns the other way. She steps out and he sees her; she tells him she is innocent and says he has to listen to her. The detective tells her to turn around and put her hands on her head; she says, “no.” She begins to walk away and tells him he will have to shoot her; he lifts the gun and fires
