Nicole comes back to the Center; Eric
welcomes her back and gives her back her nameplate for her desk. She tells Eric they make quite a team, then
texts Brady, telling him he is “the best.”
He says to himself, “lucky me” and he looks at the decanter; Nicole puts
up her family pictures and says she has never been so happy. They talk about having another fundraiser
for an Adult Literacy Program; Eric brings up the issue of their last
fundraiser possibly overshadowing everything…adding that the real killer is
still out there somewhere. Nicole
chokes on a drink of water. Eric asks
if she’s okay; she says just hearing Deimos’ name makes her nervous.
Brady pours himself a glass of water; Chloe
comes in and thinks he is drinking liquor, saying, “so it is true… you are
drinking again.” She apologizes when he
shows her it’s just water. Chloe asks
where Nicole is; Brady tells her about her returning to work at the
Center. She says she will stop by there
to say hi, but then admits she had an ulterior motive for stopping by. She tells him she wants to buy Club TBD, and
asks him if he would help her by giving her a loan. He says yes, without hesitation, telling her he has faith in her
and it would be silly not to invest.
She hugs him and tells him thank you.
He jokingly asks what else ex-husbands are good for. She asks if he is okay with Nicole working
at the Center; he says the three of them talked things out and it’s all
good. Chloe seems relieved and says she
is glad Eric was able to be honest with him about his feelings for Nicole;
Brady asks her to clarify what she means.
He tries to play it cool while she is there, but as soon as she leaves,
he says, “son of a bitch!” He walks
back over to the decanter.
Eric gets a
visitor at the Center; it is the young man that Eric helped get through the
trauma after he hit someone driving drunk.
He tells Nicole he owes his life to this man. Eric tells him that he also gave him the encouragement to go one
helping other people; the young man shakes his hand and says he is glad for
that. He says he is looking for a job
now; Nicole hands him a card and says they offer help with job placement. The man (Jason) hugs Eric and says
goodbye. Nicole tells Eric Jason is
right; he is an amazing man. She
touches his hand.
Lani tells Rafe that her dad just got to the Pub; he says,
“let’s see if this works.” Abe tells
Roman it wasn’t easy pretending that he was the bad guy; Roman tells him
sometimes you have to do something for the greater good. Abe tells him that’s what he wanted to talk
to him about; he tells Roman he wants him to come out of retirement and take
back his old job. Hope and Rafe agree,
they need someone back in charge who they can trust; JJ and Lani question Rafe
and Hope about whether or not they have set a date. JJ asks what’s taking so long; Rafe tells him to ask Hope. Hope tells them they are happy the way
things are, and just don’t feel the need to run down the isle. Roman turns Abe down; he says he is done
with that life and just wants to run the Pub, keeping his parents dream alive. Roman suggests Abe resign as Mayor and fill
the position himself; Abe asks for other suggestions. JJ takes a call; there’s a mugging at the docks. He and Lani go to check it out; Hope asks
Rafe, “why did you do that?” He says he
didn’t know what else to say; she says he should have said he is happy right
now just being engaged… unless that’s not true. Lani and JJ sit down on the park bench; Lani tells him he is so
great at talking to people and getting them to open up. He says he’s glad they got a good
description of the mugger, and talks about how nice it is to help people; Lani
realizes he really loves his job. He
says he feels like he is finally doing what he was meant to do; they kiss.
Julie
and Doug have breakfast in the Square; she tells him that the government is
auctioning off Club TBD. She suggests
maybe they buy it; Doug says he did have fun when they ran their club before,
Doug’s Place. They reminisce about the
fun they used to have there, singing and dancing with friends; she says they
could always buy another place. He
tells her that time has come and gone.
Julie tells Doug that she has an errand to run; he asks what she’s up
to. She tells him he will find out
soon, kisses him and leaves. Doug goes
to see Hope at the station; he tells her that he thinks her mother is up to
something. Chloe and Julie both show up
at Club TBD, awaiting the auction.
