04-12-2017 (Wednesday) The Big Decision

Eli comes into the conference room, where Lani happens to be; she tells him she will try to “make nice” professionally.  He asks about ‘personally’ and says they will be at Chad and Abigail’s party together tonight; she says they should probably keep their distance so she doesn’t “meddle” in his business.  He apologizes for his prior reaction; she accepts his apology.  

JJ tells Abby and Chad about Gabi's father;  he explains how he hired some thugs to steal tr\easury bonds and was caught red handed.   Chad thinks about all Gabi has gone through recently; Abi notices the concern on his face and asks if he’s okay.  He says he’s he just feels terrible for Gabi; Abigail says she’ll text her.  Chad says she might want to Dario too; she decides not to, saying they had “words at charity event”.  JJ tells them he just wanted to let them know about this in private.  Chad and Abigail get a little sidetracked discuss renewing their vows; Chad asks JJ to take his sister to the Pub, saying he will be there later.

Chad meets with Dario; Dario tells him, he plans on turning his father’s company, GDR, into the most successful business in the city.  Chad tells him to be careful because he doesn’t want Gabi getting hurt again; Dario says maybe Chad should start focusing on his wife, instead of his little sister.  He says Abigail deserves a man who loves her, and only her; Chad asks Dario if he is in love with his wife.  Dario says he knows Abby has given her heart to him; he just hopes he doesn’t end up breaking it into a million pieces.  

Sonny and Paul talk; Sonny gets a message from Lucas.  Says he’s taking Ari tonight to give Gabi a break.  Paul says his sources tell him Deimos set up Eduardo.  Paul worries Sonny might be next; Sonny says he can handle himself.  Paul says he can’t imagine his life without Sonny in it and tells him he loves him, seriously.  Sonny seems surprised for some reason; he smiles and says he loves Paul too.

Ciara seems surprised when Wyatt actually shows up for their second date; she wonders if maybe he is too good to be true.  They decide to go to a concert he mentions is coming up in a couple of weeks; happens to be one of her favorite bands.  He asks her, in the meantime, if she would want to go fishing; she smiles and says she would love that… he mentions a little island up the river he likes.  It happens to be the island where her family has a cabin; she says she’ll take him up there sometime.  He then says he wants her favorite type of latte` and goes to get them each one; he comes back and says he feels really lucky.  Ciara smiles.  Wyatt drops her off at home; kisses her on the cheek and texts someone, thanking them for all the information on Ciara, saying it is working like a charm.

Claire is getting frustrated because she got less than 500 views on her last two videos; she compares herself  to Ariana Granda, who gets millions of views within hours.  He tries to comfort her, assuring her that she will make it; he says she is “off the charts, amazing.”   Theo then tells Claire he is ready to “go through with it;” he wants them to be together forever.  Claire hesitates a bit at the word “forever.”  She says forever is a long, long time, and they are so young.  He says if they are going to make love, that should mean forever.  He tells her, he is “all in” and she smiles; he tells her he has thought of where they should go and asks if she trusts him.  He ties a blindfold over her eyes.  Theo surprises Claire by taking her to a motel where he has rose pedals on the bedspread, in the shape of a heart .  He tells her he loves her; and they start getting undressed.  We are not shown them making love, but they do end up, naked, in the bed together, talking about how good it was.

At the Pub, Abigail and Chad thank all of their friends for coming to celebrate with them tonight, saying tomorrow is going to be a very small, family affair.  Chad tells Abigail how much he loves her and they all toast to them.  Gabi walks in the door of the Pub; she turns around and leaves when Abigail sees her.  Eli goes to check on her.  He finds her sitting on the park bench; he tells her what her dad did, is not a reflection on her.  Eli puts his arm around her as she sobs; Julie sees them and does not look happy about this.  Sonny shows up and Eli excuses himself; Gabi tells Sonny, she loves Chad and Abigail so much; she can’t be the one to tear apart that family, she says.  

At home, Chad tells Abby that they need to talk; he says he ran into Dario earlier.  He asks her if she and Dario have feelings for each other.  He tells her that Dario confronted him about how bad he treats her, and he could see it all over his face that he loves her.  She tells Chad that’s why they got in a fight.  She says Dario was a friend to her when she first came back; she thinks he may have just misunderstood her friendship.  She swears she doesn’t feel anything for him; she apologizes to Chad about Dario and goes to put Thomas to bed, saying she’ll see him upstairs.  In bed, Chad tells her none of that stuff matters.  This time tomorrow, he says, she’ll be his wife again… he ends up falling asleep, while she is talking.  She finds a ring box on the floor, by his coat jacket; she looks at it, and smiles. JJ, Paul and Eli are still at the Pub; they talk about who Deimos might go after next.  They say they can’t let him hurt anyone else; JJ suggests they all make a vow to consolidate their power in the future to take Deimos down.  They toast to that.
