09-27-2017 (Wednesday) The Party's Over

Brady pours himself a drink at the Pub; Paul comes in and says he thought he quit.  Brady assures him it’s nothing, and gets a glass of water.  The Pub is closed temporarily for Paul’s bachelor party.  Lani comes out looking gorgeous in a dress; JJ suggests they blow off both parties and go out together.  Lani says they can get together afterward; Theo walks Claire to the door and says he will see her later.  He goes on to Chad’s; Andre has a game of poker planned for everybody at Chad’s party.  At the Pub, a male stripper shows up; it ends up being someone Paul knows, named Gil.  Sonny shows up and hears Paul telling this man that he is truly happy; Gil wishes them well and says he has to get to another gig.  Sonny says he had enough of Andre’s posh party.

At Abby’s party, everyone writes down a hint from a relationship that they have learned and she reads them; they break open a bottle of champagne.  Hope asks Kayla how she is doing with Joey in jail; she says she wakes up every morning, thinking he’s there and then realizes he’s not… it’s hard, she says.  Hope offers her comfort.  She questions if she ever feels resentment toward Steve, about Tripp; Kayla says not all the time.  Claire tells Kayla she is going to visit Joey soon; Kayla says he would love that.  That cut the cake; Hope tells Kayla she is there, if she needs her.  Steve tells Rafe they visited Joey in prison; he seems to have found some peace of mind.  Hope tells him they did what they thought was right.  Steve says he’s okay with it, but it seems to be hard on Kayla; Rafe says everyone works through things on their own time.  JJ has a semi-serious talk with Chad; he says he is just looking out for his sister.

The same stripper, Gil, shows up at Abby’s party; they stop him after just taking his shirt off and pay him for his time.  He says he is “striking out everywhere tonight.”  Lani comes by the Pub; she tells them about the stripper… JJ tells her he was one of Paul’s ex-s.  Theo tells Claire they all left Andre’s to go to the Pub; he asks if she knows why people have these separate parties.  She says it’s just tradition; Andre speaks to his father’s portrait.  He tells him he will always “look out for him..”  Sonny invites Paul to stay the night, but Paul says he doesn’t want to jinx anything.

A nurse walks into a hospital room (we are not shown where); she speaks to a patient we cannot see.  She says she is glad to see he/she is eating better and leaves the room; we see the patient clutch a set of keys in his (or her) fist, their arms are strapped to the bed.
