Claire apologizes, and
lets go of Theo’s hands; he asks why she’s apologizing. She says because she knows it’s not what he
wants; he tells her it’s okay because she is his friend, and he takes her hands
back. They get a little intimate, face
to face for a moment, and then Claire suggests they go to the beach today; she
heads off to pack a bag. Theo smiles. He reminds himself he just wanted to be
friends; she comes out looking extremely “hot.” She asks him to put sun block on her back; he does, whispering to
himself, “friends, friends, friends.”
Claire smiles. He continues
rubbing her way longer than is necessary and she asks if he is almost done; he
says, almost and bends down and kisses her neck. Looking at her phone, she jumps up and screams, “what? Oh my
god.” Theo looks worried. He asks what is wrong… she says it’s just a
nasty comment on one of her songs, but then says she was trying to protect
him. She shows him her phone; we are not able to see the screen clearly (but it might be a video).
Valerie comes back to the table to see Abe again, but he says he needs to go; he tries to blow her off, but she sits down and says she wants to know what’s going on here. He says, okay; he sits back down and tells her he hopes she will be “understanding”… he tells her about Theo’s work for the DeMiras. He tells her they had a big fight about it and he feels awful; she says she feels responsible for advising him to trust Theo. She asks what she can do; he says, nothing. He tells her Theo could be arrested as being an accessory after the fact; she says they can’t let that happen. JJ tells Lani he is glad they are going to be working together again; she says they aren’t, exactly. She tells JJ about her altercation with Raines; JJ says he probably deserved everything she said. She says she apologized, but he is still pretty mad at her. JJ stands up and demands that the Commissioner reinstate Lani as his partner; Eli walks in and says he needs to talk to Raines. He tells them they are about to make an arrest and tells Lani, in particular, she needs to prepare herself; Rafe and Hope approach the table.
Valerie stands up and asks them to please forgive Theo; they are confused. She mentions his work with the DeMiras; they say they have no intention of arresting Theo… they tell Abe they are there for him. Abe demands to know what the charges against him are, pretending to be offended; they tell him counterfeiting. He says that’s what they were going after Dario for; Valerie says Abe is the most honest guy she knows. Hope says the evidence is sold and reads Abe his rights; Rafe puts him in handcuffs and they escort him away. When they get to the station, Abe tells Elli he’s been duped; he says Dario gave him his name to throw them off his trail. Raines stands in Abe’s face and begins to berate him; Abe insists he isn’t involved in this. He tells Rafe Dario played them all; he had to name “someone important” – he says this whole damn case is made up. He says his name was just big enough to divert their attention, and it did. Lani and JJ seem to side with Abe, saying it is possible it’s a coincidence that Abe has been throwing money around lately, some of which has turned out to be counterfeit. Abe seems genuinely surprised. Abe threatens to sue every one of them when he is cleared of this. Lani gets mad at Eli for not telling her before; she shoves him and tells him he won’t get away with this. JJ gets her to leave with him; Raines commends him on a “job well done” and calls him son. Eli stops his mom from leaving and tells her they need the necklace and earrings for evidence; she pulls them off and throws them on the floor, storming out. She hugs Abe and tells him he can count on her.
Kayla pleads with Joey, saying this is the answer for all of them. Tripp promises he will never tell anybody that he killed his mother. He says what he did to him and his mom is every bit as bad as what he did to Ava; there is no score to settle, he says. Joey looks to his father for advice, but Kayla cuts Steve off saying she wants Joey to speak for himself. Joey still says nothing; he doesn’t know if he can live with it, still. Kayla and Steve start screaming at each other; Kayla says it’s all because of Steve that Joey is ready to throw his life away. He says Joey could get a break because he’s turning himself in voluntarily; Kayla gets even more angry when he says he talked to Roman about this. Kayla turns around and hangs onto Joey; she begs him to please not turn himself in. Joey asks his mother if they can talk alone, outside; he tells her he didn’t realize how bad things are between her and his dad. He apologizes saying he knows its because of him; she tells him to stop. He says it’s his fault; he tells her he couldn’t handle it if they break up. She tells him they can fix things if he stays; Joey tells her that’s emotional blackmail. She apologizes, but insists, what good is it going to do? She says there’s no guarantee he’ll get a short sentence; he says he knows, but he deserves it for taking someone’s life. He still feels he has to pay the price for that; she says he has already paid a huge price, carrying around this huge burden of guilt. She says none of them want him to suffer any more, reminding him of how much potential he has. She says she knows he is doing this to make his dad proud; he says she is actually the reason he wants to turn himself in.
He reminds her of a time when they were without his father, and he stole money from his grandma; she talked to him, right there on that bench and made him go back and tell her what he did. Then she made him bust his ass to earn money to pay her back, with interest. He says his grandmother told him he shouldn’t feel bad about not having his dad around because he had the best mom in the world, teaching him right from wrong. He says he is just trying to do now what she taught him. She shakes her head. Steve talks to Tripp about wanting to take him out, himself, when he found out he had turned on his flesh and blood; Tripp asks why he didn’t and he says, “because you’re my flesh and blood too.” He says he wanted to protect him because that’s what a parent does for their child. Kayla tells Joey she understands now and it’s okay; he can do what he wants. Tripp vows to make things right with Joey, him and Kayla; Steve tells him they’ll get through this as a family. Joey comes in and tells his dad he is still going to turn himself in; Kayla tells Steve she has accepted his decision, though she is crying.
