04-18-2017 (Tuesday) Alone Again

Brady screams, “what the hell” and Hillary and Scooter look up, in shock, asking what he is doing.  He tells Hillary that he thought she was Bridgette, claiming he has trust issues; he apologizes and closes the door.  When turns around, he finds Nicole.  At home, she asks if he saw anything; if it looked like they were having a good time.  She tells Brady about Scooter’s attempt to blackmail her; Brady gets upset.  She calms him down, admitting that she was actually going to go through with what Scooter wanted, after considering shooting him first.  But then, she says, she couldn’t do it; instead she found Hillary and gave her the costume and told Scooter she was waiting for him in a room.  She wanted to spice up their marriage, and she just told Scooter that his wife was the one waiting for him.  She says he was surprisingly on board with it, because he is still in love with his wife; Brady is impressed that she could be so compassionate and reasonable and wise.

Nicole admits that her first instinct was to shoot Scooter and frame Hillary for it; Brady says, “look who evolved.”  He tells her she created magic tonight, even though it’s strange how she did it.  She says she did it for them; they hug.  Someone walks by the door; Brady goes to check it out.  It’s Scooter; he comes in and says thank you to Nicole.  He says, because of her, they are back on track; he says she was right… it was a fantasy, not her.  He apologizes for the way he acted; Brady tells him he needs “good faith” – Nicole says they don’t want to run; he says they don’t have to.  He tells Brady he is afraid of him; Nicole thanks him and asks him to leave them alone now.  He says their secret is safe with him and tells her they are going on a second honeymoon and going to couples therapy; Nicole says that’s smart.  He leaves.  Nicole thanks Brady for being there; he says there’s no place he would rather be.  She tells him he is her rock; she says he means a lot to her, seemingly wanting to say she loves him… and then she does.  Brady smiles.

Ciara comes home with Wyatt; Claire and Theo are kissing on the couch, as usual.  Ciara introduces them; Wyatt makes a big deal out of how nice their apartment is.  Claire makes a big deal out of how good looking Wyatt is, and what a catch Ciara is for him.  She suggests, if things go well, they could possibly get an apartment together; Ciara tells her she’s pushing things a bit.  Wyatt says he has to go return a book to the library and will meet Ciara at the Pub later.  He tells Claire it was nice to meet her, holding out his hand to shake hers; Claire hugs him and tells him it was super nice to meet him too.  After he leaves, she tells Ciara how happy she is for her; Ciara talks about how much they have in common and Claire says she was really lucky to meet someone like that on a dating site.  Ciara leaves; Claire excitedly tells her to have fun with Wyatt.  Then she asks Theo why he is acting so weird now.  He claims he is just nervous about a biology exam he has coming up; he tells her he is going to study and leaves the apartment.

Jade comes downstairs, and says Theo seems jealous.  She complains about there not being any juice; Claire asks her what she means about Theo being jealous.  Jade says its obvious; he doesn’t like that Wyatt guy.  She asks about Theo’s relationship with Ciara and Claire gets annoyed; she says he is with her now - that was “forever ago.”  Jade smirks.  Right.  Claire suddenly notices her subscriber numbers are going down online; she reads a few bad reviews about her music.  She muses about how she will ever get famous; Jade says she could always “go the Kim K route” (which Claire thinks means reality show).  Jade corrects her, saying, “sex tape.”  She says she would never sink that low; Jade carries on and Claire says it’s no wonder she’s single.  Claire leaves.  At Brady’s Pub, Wyatt and Ciara try to decide what to do for their next date; when Ciara goes to refill her cup, he looks at his phone for notes about her favorite hobbies.  He tells her he was checking the ice skating rink for hours; she gets excited, saying she loves to skate.  He says he used to play hockey when he was little.   Ciara can’t believe how much they have in common.

Chad and Gabi bump into each other in the park.  Gabi tells Chad that Kate told her Abby bailed on their vow renewal; she says she is sorry and asks why.  He tells her that Abby doesn’t think he loves her enough, because he is still in love with HER.  She tells him he’s not the type of guy to give up so easy and says he should not give up on his marriage; she says he has worked too hard to save it up until now and he should go back home to his wife, saying she’s the one he should be with.  She leaves.  She runs into JJ; he questions what she and Chad were talking about.  She tells him; she says she loves Chad, but she will not come between him and Abigail, not now, not ever.  She then meets Dario along the way and tells him she told Chad that he needs to fight for his marriage.  

Dario asks Abigail if she really thinks Chad is in love with Gabi; she says she wishes she could say no, but yes, she does.  She says she can’t be with a man who’s heart is divided; she wants her husbands undivided affection and asks if that’s wrong.  He reminds her that she says she was going to give Chad time to get over his feelings for Gabi; he asks if she thinks she gave him enough time.  She asks why he’s taking Chad’s side, saying he is supposed to be the one she can come to for support; she says she is standing on her own two feet for the first time in a long time.  She says she doesn’t know why she ever thought she could make it work out; she hates having their son living between two parents but she says she couldn’t go on like that forever.  Abby says it almost feels like a relief; Dario says she’s covering.  She says he’s right, laugh-cries and says she really feels like crawling under the covers and never coming out; but she says one day she will look back at this and realize it is the beginning of her brand new life.

Abby goes home “to pack” and tells Chad that she wants to do this as amicably as possible; Chad begs her not to go.  He reminds her of all the plans they have made; he asks if they can just take it one step at a time.  She says she has to go; he tells her he is not going to be with Gabi… he’s going to be there, waiting for her to come home to him, again.  Abby steps out of the door and cries.
