06-14-2017 (Wednesday) The Madness Subsides

Abe and Hope are in shock; they can’t believe that the kids made a sex tape together.  Hope says they need to talk to the kids about this; Claire can’t believe Theo left his laptop with his father.  Hope and Abe storm in the door of the kids’ dorm-apartment; they tell them they saw the video.  Theo says he doesn’t know what video they are talking about; Abe explains how he found it.  Claire tries to say she didn’t know about either, but Hope calls her on it and she confesses, saying okay she knew about it, but she didn’t DO it.  They asks what; Abe tells him… a video of them having sex.  Theo isn’t sure how to respond.  He defends Claire; he goes to her asking her to tell him she didn’t do this.  She says she didn’t, but the way she says it isn’t convincing; he leaves, upset.  Abe goes after him; Hope scolds her granddaughter.  Claire explains to Hope that she only knew about the video “after the fact.”

Hope is stunned to find out that Jade would record them like that; Claire is honestly remorseful for allowing it to happen.  Theo discusses this with his father; he thinks he might know why Claire may have done this – he tells Abe Claire is concerned about her failing career.  Abe gets it; Theo says he is going to talk to Claire now, as Hope comes out.  He tells Claire that he wants to believe her, but he “knows” her; she asks what he means.  He explains his understanding about her wanting more likes, more fans, and says he just doesn’t know if he can believe her. Hope takes Theo’s laptop and has her tech guy make sure the video is gone.  She tells Abe that Claire swore to her she didn’t have anything to do with making the video, and says she believes her.  Theo is convinced more and more that Claire did this; he tells her she has ruined everything now.

Joey talks to Jade; he can tell she’s feeling depressed.  He tells her to wait just a minute; he comes back with a cup of ice cream.  She asks how he knew that was exactly what she needed; he says because he knows her.  He tells her he is proud of her for trying so hard lately to be responsible.  She asks if maybe he could talk to his Uncle Roman about her working at the Pub; Joey says that’s not a good idea.  She asks if it’s because he is still in love with her.  He tells her not to start that again, reminding her that he wants to remain friends, but that’s it; she says okay, but doesn’t believe it.  Joey and Jade go back to the apartment; Claire tells Jade to admit that the sex tape was all her idea.

Steve goes to see his sister; Adrian hugs him and begins to cry.  She tells him that she misses her son; he assures her Sonny will be okay.  He tells her he is going to check out that creep who is trying to take the paper away this afternoon; she thanks him.  Steve breaks into Sabastian Howard’s office; Angelica Deboreaux walks in. Sonny tells JJ that he has to find Paul before the others do; he says he is the only one who can get through to him.  JJ says this fever is crazy; talking won’t work… JJ says, if it comes down to it, they will do what they have to. Sonny takes that to mean taking Paul out, and says “no way in hell.”  Chad makes Gabi rest her ankle; they smile awkwardly at each other.  He says the island is crazy; she agrees.  Then she asks him if they should talk about what’s going on with them; he says there’s not much to talk about… they are together there on the island, and they have feelings for each other.  She asks about Abby; Chad says she has made it clear what she wants.  Gabi says it almost scares her to think they might have half a chance, after they discuss how much their kids love each other.

JJ comes over and tells Chad that Sonny has gone off looking for Paul on his own.  JJ tells Gabi that he is actually happy for her, as long as she is happy; he says he understands that his sister has decided to move on.  Sonny finds Paul and does his best to talk him down; Paul is holding a sharp knife – he tells Sonny that he can’t help himself, he just wants to hurt somebody.  He grabs Sonny and holds the knife to his throat.  Sonny tells Paul he knows his heart, and “you known mine” he says; Paul loosens his grip, until he hears Chad calling out.  Chad holds a gun and points it at Paul, who is holding Sonny as a shield; Sonny begs Chad not to shoot Paul.  JJ shows up next to Chad, also holding a gun; Paul cuts Sonny and throws him to the ground, and starts swinging the knife at them.
