05-26-2017 (Friday) Dead Guy

Claire and Theo get home; Theo is still worried about Ciara being mad at him… her bags are packed.  She tells them she is going to Hong Kong to spend the Summer with Belle and Shaun; she tells Theo she can’t be there because of him, adding he knows why.  Wyatt knocks on the door; he asks for Ciara.  Ciara agrees to talk to him, alone.  She tells him he is a liar and a user and she never wants to see him again; she shows him the door.  He leaves, but has a very ugly look on his face; creepy.  Claire and Theo sit, eating ice cream; they discuss why Ciara is leaving.  He tells Claire that Ciara admitted she was in love with him; he assures Claire that he is in love with her though.  She says she is going to go talk to her; he says he should probably stay away and asks her to tell Ciara he is sorry.  

Claire asks how it went with Wyatt; Ciara says he’s gone for good.  Claire tells her she will miss her; Ciara tells her she’ll still pay her rent.  Claire promises to leave her side of the room exactly as she is leaving it and makes Ciara promise to come back.  She tells her to call and text and hugs her, but looks somewhat relieved; she texts Theo and tells him he can’t let Ciara leave without saying goodbye.  (Didn’t expect that.)   Hope goes to see her mother; she asks if they can go talk at the Pub.  Hope says sure and they go; Theo watches.  Hope says six weeks is a long time; she asks why the urgent need to get away.  Ciara tells her mom Wyatt wasn’t who she thought he was and she has decided she is not ready for a relationship right now.  Hope hugs her daughter and tells her she loves her; she tells her she is courageous and strong.  Ciara asks her mom to drive her to the airport; she goes to get the car.  Theo shows up; he says he never meant to hurt her and really just wanted her to be happy…he swears he will never lie to her again.  She says she can’t lie to him either and that’s why she told him she’s not okay with just being friends; he acknowledges because she wants to be more.  She says she doesn’t know what she wants anymore; she tells him this isn’t goodbye forever and she hugs him.  He starts rocking back and forth as she walks out the door.

Rafe asks Abigail if they can talk; he mentions Dario.  Hope walks in with Deimos; she says it’s a little gift she brought from Greece.  Lani, JJ, Gabi, Chad, Paul, Sonny and Eli now wander around on an island; Sonny says, after that crash they are all lucky to be alive.  Rafe and Hope go in the office to talk; she tells the guard not to take his eyes off of him.  Abigail tells him she hopes he rots in hell for all the lives he has tried to destroy.  Hope tells Rafe Eli’s contacts gave her jurisdiction to pick up Deimos; she says they have an accomplice who spilled and they should have the paperwork in a couple of hours.  He welcomes her back with a kiss.  Rafe makes a call, but says Xander is still standing by his uncle, insisting he did this all alone; Hope says that’s okay, Guy’s testimony will take them both down.  Sonny says they hadn’t been out of Athens for more than two hours, but he believes they are in the Mediterranean or somewhere near there; but he says so many little islands are scattered about the seas there, there is no telling.  

Gabi starts to freak out a little that no one is going to know where they are; she storms off when Eli tells her to stay calm.  Chad follows; he tries to assure her that they will be fine… he tries to joke about not being stuck in a meat locker, but that just makes her more upset.  She tells him bringing up bad memories doesn’t help; he tells her it would just be best for her and everyone else, if she could calm down.  She says she knew he was going to say that and proceeds to tell him how much she hates it when people say that; he calls her adorable, which she finds condescending.  He says it was a compliment; she says she didn’t take it that way because she is very mad at him.  Cute.  He asks her to go with him tomorrow to check out the “lay of the land.”  She brings up snakes, then brings up the amulet again; she tells him he has to believe her because there is a pattern here.  She tells him the longer he has it, the worse things are going to get; he just smiles.  

Eli and Paul remember that there is a satellite phone on the plane; Paul goes to see if it survived the crash.  Hope tells Deimos she will never forgive him for what he took from her; she says, “this is payback Deimos.”  Rafe tells Deimos his hired henchman is going to take him down; Deimos says, we’ll see.  He tells Rafe not to hold his breath, smiling all the while.  Paul returns with the satellite phone; Sonny tells him he was worried about him.  Paul laughs, saying it was nothing; then notes that all of Sonny’s new power is useless here.  Chad asks what power; Sonny tells him that Victor is putting him in charge of Titan as of today.  Chad smiles, with a friendly acknowledgment that makes them full out rivals.  Hope tells Abigail that she had followed Chad to Greece, which is why she was there; she tells her that he really was there just for business.  She says Gabi ended up there by accident; Abigail says they will probably end up together anyway.  Gabi stands up in front of the group and tells Chad he needs to get rid of the amulet; she tells all of them everything that has happened to them since he bought it.  Chad walks away.  He returns and tells Gabi that he threw the amulet into the ocean; he says she can frisk him to make sure… she says she trusts him.  He goes back and picks up the amulet from under a bush and puts it in his pocket.
 
Rafe gets a phone call; their witness, Guy, is suddenly dead.  No explanation; he says they have nothing now on Deimos.  Deimos sits in the interrogation room, hands clasped, smiling.
