February 8, 2018 (Thursday; S53E96): One Secret Out

The minute Claire gets him alone, she asks Tripp what the secret was; when he refuses to tell her, she asks what’s going on between him and Ciara.  She seems jealous, saying they were friends first; Tripp assures her they are still friends.  She tells him about the contest and he says she is a shoe in; she says it might not hurt that her “Pop-pop owns the company.”

JJ asks Abe for his blessing to ask Lani to marry him; Abe is impressed.  Valerie looks worried; she tells JJ marriage is a huge commitment and they should take their time.  Abe thanks Valerie for her concern and gives JJ his blessing, saying, it is important to him that Lani marry the father of her child.  Eli is shocked at what Lani just told him; he is angry in fact.  But he seems to understand when she explains her reasons; he is happy she didn’t wait until their child was an adult to tell him.  She tells Eli that she still thinks it’s best for everyone if JJ thinks he is the father and asks him not to tell anyone.  He sees his mom and Abe in the square; Abe gets a phone call.  Eli tells his mom he doesn’t know what he is going to do about the baby.

Will and Paul spy on John and Marlena at the hospital; Marlena turns to check on Steve and they are stopped by a man, who says he needs to talk to John NOW.  He wants to hire him and says it’s urgent; John goes to talk with him.  The man threatens John when they get alone; tells him to carry out his mission and gives him another vial.  Marlena spots Paul and Will; they say they are there to see a friend who works in administration.  They follow John outside and overhear the threat; Paul goes to follow the man when he leaves… Will stays to watch John.

Kayla gets the results from Steve’s blood tests back; Steve is frustrated when there is nothing conclusive.  When he stands up to leave, he almost passes out.  She wants to admit him to the hospital, but he refuses to let her; he laughs off his body falling apart and hugs her.  John calls Steve and asks him to meet him to talk about a new client; Steve agrees to meet him.  He turns to leave and passes out, falling to the floor.  Paul rounds the corner on the docks and finds a gun in his face; the man says, “I don’t like being followed.”
