08-31-2017 (Thursday) Nightmares and Fairytales

Lani and JJ talk; (JJ looks pretty good with that scruff on his face).  They make up stories about how they met and laugh about how much fun they have together; the bell rings… break is over.  They kiss and make a date for tomorrow, and the tomorrow after that, and after that (still kissing).

Tripp comes into Brady’s Pub; he apologizes again to his father for all he’s done and says he would understand if he never wanted to see him again, and says maybe he should leave town.  Steve tells him although it’s painful, he is not going to abandon him; he says he loves him and always will, adding nothing will change that.  He tells Tripp that he reminds him a lot of himself; he says they Johnsons have a habit of running away from their problems.  He tells him that he believes he can regain Kayla’s trust; Tripp agrees to stay.  Theo and Claire clean the apartment; Claire says her grandmother told her cleaning house helps you clear things up in your mind.  They start talking about Joey when they find a hat of his; then they start discussing the rent and decide that maybe they need another roommate.  Claire suggests Tripp, saying he might not want to be alone right now; Theo brings up the fact that he tried to hurt Joey’s family and Claire comes to Tripp’s defense.  Theo asks her if she likes him; she asks Theo if he is jealous (and smiles).  Valerie shows up with some groceries for the kids; they are still playfully arguing about whether or not Theo is jealous.  After Claire leaves, Valerie asks Theo if he might actually be jealous; he says he doesn’t know.  Claire calls someone and thanks them for their advice, telling them that she thinks it may have worked.

Tripp tells his dad that he has decided he doesn’t want his mother’s blood money and is going to donate it all to Salem University Hospital; Steve is happy to hear that.  They have a beer and Steve toasts to the donation Tripp is making, saying he thinks Kayla will be happy about it.  Kayla walks in to see them clicking glasses; she turns around and leaves.Kayla talks to Valerie at the hospital; she says she’s sorry for what she’s going through.  Valerie says it’s not her; it’s that what is happening to Abe is so terribly wrong.  Kayla tells her he may be released today; Valerie says Raines just seems so set on seeing him convicted.  She asks Kayla if she’s talked to Joey; Kayla says he hasn’t been allowed any phone calls yet.  She says she hates not being able to help him; Valerie hugs her.

Nicole asks what the judge knows; the judge comes out and says he can answer that.  He tells her the foster mother told him that she violated the order to stay away from Holly; Brady defends her but Nicole admits she did approach Holly in the Square.  She explains, she was crying.  The judge calls a recess.  As Nicole and Brady stroll through the park with Eric, Nicole tries to explain to Brady why she didn’t tell him about seeing Holly.  Brady says he needs to go do something; he says he’ll be back before the judge calls them back in.  Nicole worries that Brady is angry with her again; Eric tells her it will be okay, reminding her how much Brady loves her.  He says she has made up for all of her mistakes from the past; Nicole says that’s not exactly true.

Brady walks into the judge’s chambers; the judge protests, saying this is highly unusual.  Brady says he doesn’t care and tells the judge he is going to give Nicole her baby back, or he will “destroy” him (wow).  The judge picks up the phone, threatening to throw him in jail; Brady tells him he knows that he took a bribe from his Uncle Deimos, who is now dead.  He says if he doesn’t return the baby right now, he will plaster his face all over the media and expose him for the lying hypocrite that he is.  As Eric and Nicole sit and talk, waiting for Brady to come back, she tells him she is actually grateful he is back in her life again, as a friend; she tells him that she wants to be honest with him because he deserves it.  Her mind flashes to Brady telling her she cannot tell Eric that she killed Deimos; Justin shows up and tells her the judge is ready for her again.  The judge tells Nicole that although she broke the law by defying the order, he says, he finds that he cannot hold that against her and orders the baby returned to her custody, effective immediately.
