Summer sits on the floor, counting money; Dario shows up.  She tells Dario she is being blackmailed – and they could turn her in for murder if she doesn’t do what they want. (?)  She says she doesn’t want to do it though… she says she needs to disappear.  Joey is recovering in the hospital… all is okay in the end, he says.  But he is still facing charges for vandalism and skipping bail, both, at home and in California.  Steve offers to come back home, because Kayla is concerned, but she tells him she’s not ready for that; it’s just all been too much.  

Tracy and Brady are having lunch in the square; she tells him about passing out with Tate in the stroller at the park yesterday – apologizes – and promises it won’t ever happen again.  He tells her he has no room to judge; and tells her she was right about Summer.  Maggie tells Victor that she plans on forgiving Summer; he says they are better off with her gone.  Still, she asks him to find her.  Steve goes back to his office, alone.  As Summer and Dario stroll through the square, Teresa sees them and throws ‘daggers’ with her eyes.  Summer stops to tell them she’s sorry (then adds, she was honest with Brady ONCE, and says he knows what she means); she wishes them well and leaves.  Teresa wants to know what that was all about; what hasn't he told her?  He admits that Summer told him she was in love with him last week.  She gets pissed.  

Fynne (Dr. Thompson) comes to check on Maggie… she asks what he knew of Summer.  Not much, he says; but Daniel trusted her.  He tells her she should get some rest; avoid stress.  She agrees to go on a cruise with Victor “to get away for a while.”  Joey tells his mom that his dad deserves another chance – Jade comes to visit Joey in the hospital; she is crying.  Her dad kicked her out.  Joey tells her he loves her and he will take care of her.  Kayla sees Teresa in the square and stops to tell her that she is proud of how she’s turned her life around; says she has tried real hard.  Pondering, she says, “I guess everyone deserves a second chance.”  Summer talks to Dario; tells him she’s thinking… someone is willing to pay a lot of money to kidnap Tate.
