11-16-2017 (Thursday) Kate's Regret

Abigail talks to her mom; Jen says she feels so terrible for Abe because he’s been such a good friend and there’s nothing she can do for him now, or for JJ.  JJ recalls the even again and says, “oh my god, I did see him.”  Lani tells her father that JJ swore to her that he didn’t know it was Theo when he pulled the trigger; Abe says all he knows is that somebody has to be held accountable.  Chad shows up and says, “I’m so sorry.”  Abe asks if that’s an admission of guilt.  He says of course not; “the DeMira denial,” Abe says.  Chad tells Abe, if he thought Andre did this, he would kill him himself because that’s how much he loves Theo.

JJ talks to Abigail, still kneeling in the Square; he can’t get over the fact that he shot Theo.  He tells her that he thinks he lied to Hope… he says he gave her the standard “cop answer” but now he believes he saw Theo’s face the moment he pulled the trigger.  Abigail says he is just convincing himself that he saw Theo’s face because now he knows it was Theo; she tells him the mind can make you think things that aren’t true and no one knows that better than her.  Abby reminds him that he loves Theo and would never knowingly shoot him.  Tripp tells Kate he is not giving her phone; he says he’ll wait and give it to the police, as he looks as the last missed call on the phone, from Kate.  Kate says she could take it to the police, but Tripp says he’d rather give it to Commissioner Brady himself.  Claire asks what difference it makes; Kate asks Tripp to come speak to her in the hall.

Tripp reminds Kate of his walking in on her and Theo talking the other day, and a few other things that make him suspicious of her; he says there is probably something on that message that the police need to hear.  She tells him, if he does, he will go to jail too; she reveals that she overheard a conversation, too, between his father and Kayla, right there at the hospital, about him.  She says she can do some more digging and could prove that Kayla almost lost her license because of him – Tripp says, he wasn’t in his right mind and has done all he could to make it up to her.  Kate points out that Hope Brady, the current Police Commissioner, could have also died because of what he did.  When that doesn’t change his mind, she tells him Kayla could also lose her job because she covered up for him after the fact; that appears to concern him.  She says, if he cares about Kayla at all, he needs to give her that phone.  He does, but he tells her he doesn’t know the password; she suggests he ask Claire if she knows it and he snaps at her, saying Claire is upset enough about Theo being shot and he isn't going to do that.

Jennifer asks Eric if he could go sit with JJ because he needs someone to talk to; Eric says he would be glad to, except that he thinks she needs him more right now.  They continue to talk; Eric says he can’t reassure her that everything will be okay, and she can’t be sure that JJ is in trouble.  He agrees to go with her to talk to JJ.  JJ tells his sister that today was Lani’s birthday and he told her he loved her for the first time; he wonders now, how she will ever “understand” why he shot her brother.  Kayla comes out of surgery and tells Abe, Claire and Lani that Theo is now in a coma, and she isn’t sure he will come out of it; they start to sob, hanging onto each other.  Claire goes and tells Tripp that she doesn’t know what to do now; he tries to reassure her that Theo will still hear her if she wants to talk to him, and then goes ahead and asks about Theo’s password.  She gets a little emotional, saying, “it’s C, L, A, I, R, E.”  He goes and tells Kate; she deletes the messages and gives the phone back to Tripp, saying he can give it to whomever.  He glares at her, extremely hateful; she breaks down after he leaves, asking, “what have I done?”

Chad finds Abby and JJ, and Eric and Jen at the Square; he tells them about the complication during Theo’s surgery.  Valerie tells Abe that she’s afraid it may have been her fault; she says her hands were shaking because she was anxious, she thinks, because she loves the two of them so much… Kayla steps forward and says she watched Valerie every step of the way and she did nothing wrong.  Valerie says she can’t help but feel responsible.  JJ runs off after hearing that Theo is now in a coma; Jen starts to go after him, but Eric stops her and tells her he needs to have some time to himself.  She cries; Eric holds her.
