Stefan tells Chad he is going to Hong Kong tonight
and he needs Abigail to accompany him; Chad asks if this sudden trip has
anything to do with his being questioned about Andre’s murder. Chad fills Abby in on the phone he found in
Stefan’s desk. Chad guesses he is
trying to flee the country, and wants to take his wife with him; he says he has
to go, to fix the “bad press” caused by Gabi’s arrest for Andre’s murder. Chad says he can’t stop him from going, but
there’s no way he’s taking Abigail with him... Abby says, “I think we need to
give him what he wants.” She says he
has them “backed into a corner” and might fire them both, if she doesn’t
go. Chad gets a call from Lani; “Gabi”
goes out to talk to Stefan. She tells
him she would love to go away with him, and just be herself the whole time… but
“Dr. Laura” isn’t just going to let this trip happen, she says. He says he can make it happen and tells her
if she wants to go, she should go get packed; he tells her, with him, she can
be herself, adding that he knows her better than anyone. “Abigail” comes in and tells Chad they have
to do what Stefan wants; she says he hasn’t done anything to lose the Board’s
trust yet, so he just might get away with firing all of them. Chad asks if she actually wants to go with
him; she says, “no, but I have to go.”
She says she might be able to figure out who set Gabi up too; she says,
whatever the risk, she needs to make this trip for Gabi, and for their
family. Kate agrees, it might be their
best hope.
Marlena comes into Kayla’s office; she apologizes for
eavesdropping. Kayla tells her she is
frustrated because there is nothing else she can do to help Steve, thanks to
John. Steve meanders through the
Square; he bumps into Kate and she says, “are you blind?!” He laughs, and says, “not yet, but it looks
like I will be soon.” He tells Kate all
about it… she says she’s sorry about that, which surprises him; she says no one
deserves that. She asked what caused
it; John steps around the corner, and says, “I did.” Marlena tries to plead John’s case to Kayla, but Kayla says she
is tired of hearing about John’s feelings – he had no clue what effect that
poison would have on Steve, and she’s angry because it could have “killed
him.” Steve talks to John and tells him
that Bo took his other eye years ago, and he forgave him; no reason he can’t do
the same for John. John tells him what
a great guy he is, and how much he appreciates his friendship and
forgiveness. Kayla tells Marlena,
however, that she can’t just sit there and watch Steve go blind, and forgive
John. She then apologizes for lashing
out at Marlena; nothing to apologize for, Marlena says. She tells Kayla she knows the love she and
Steve have often brings miracles. John
puts on a blindfold, and challenges John to a game of darts; he does pretty
well – John does his best to distract him.
He hits two bullseyes.
Brady meets with Eve in the park; he gives her
Claire’s photos. He tells her he still
expects to be part of the contest, because the magazine is his baby… he tells
her, if she is going to bring this company back, she is “stuck with” him. She says, if he ever wanted to make her
happy, he would give her “this one thing.”
Eve tells Brady, if he truly loved her he would have told her what was
going on, instead of just saying wedding vows.
He says he said those vows because he meant them; he says she’s the
first woman that gave him a reason to fight, and he isn’t giving up without a
fight. He says she needs him, whether
she thinks so or not. He wants to show
this town the woman he knows… smart and savvy; he says he’s not giving up on
her. She almost looks like she wants to
cry. He tells her he hasn’t been
playing with her for a long, long time – he says Maggie told him he should
fight for what he wants – he says, “I want you and I’m going to do whatever it
takes to get you back.” Eve tells him
she hopes he loves her with all his heart and soul, because his suffering will
bring her satisfaction. He cries, and
says he doesn’t want Basic Black, or his grandfather’s approval, or anything
but her… “just you” he says. She tells
him just to stop; she says if he really wants to work with her, that’s fine… “but
no more begging and pleading” she tells him.
Work and work only; he says okay.
She walks away and he says, “it’s a start.”
