Aiden goes to see Chase;
lies about him and Hope. Chase can
tell he's lying. He askes if something bad
happened. He insists his father tell
him the truth; Aiden says that he decided, he needs to back off. Chase figures Hope just doesn’t want him;
then he tells his dad that he feels like he doesn’t exist anymore…he hates the hospital; everyone
ignores him or avoids him; says he was better off in prison. Ciara talks to her mother in the hospital
now, so happy to see her; apparently she had a ruptured spleen. She is lucky to be alive – and it’s all due
to Rafe, Ciara reminds her. She
questions how she could have gone off with Aiden when Rafe loves her so
much. Hope tells her that it will never
happen again; she told Aiden to leave town.
Ciara tells her mom that her volunteer work has really opened her eyes
to how important psychiatry is to people’s lives; and how its kind of sad that
Chad says he just feels dead inside now.
At home, with his mother, Rafe grows tired of hearing her demean Hope
(he defends her, letting her know that she is the one who saved him this time);
he tells her she refused to leave him, saying she would rather die than leave
him… she still carries on. His sister
comes in and tells their mother to quit yelling, hugging Rafe, saying all that
matters is that they are alive. Gabby
gets her mother to go out on the porch with her; she asks her to back off of
Hope, explaining that she is really a good person. Regardless, Adriana still thinks Hope is trouble.
Eduardo offers his help to Rafe, going after
Aiden Jennings. He declines, but
Eduardo says the offer stands. Mom and
Gabby come back in and she starts up again about Hope. Bianca arrives, overhears their
conversation; Adriana, Eduardo and Gabby all excuse themselves… Bianca
apologizes to Rafe. Rafe apologizes to
her; he leaves to visit Hope in the hospital.
He tells her he will get her anything she needs; she says she has
everything she needs – him. Gabby comes
home to find Bianca looking for apartments online; talks to her about why. Ciara sees Chase at the mental hospital; he
says she is the only person who doesn’t treat him differently – and she’s the
one person who should. He asks her to
tell him what is going on with his dad and her mom. It’s hard for Ciara not to just blurt out what an awful person
Aiden really is; she tells him they should probably talk. She lets him know she is decent to him
because it is her job; it doesn’t mean anything is better between them – he was
his friend, and he raped her…throwing their friendship away, and he is not
going to get it back. Then, she brings
up his dad. Tells him that his mom
found out the truth… he didn’t get kidnapped, everything was a lie – he is the
one who married her and tried to kill her.
Chase says that can’t be true; Ciara assures him it is.
Aiden recalls
Hope, in the interrogation room, telling him that the blood tests they did proved
that the blood from the man that tried to kill her on their wedding night
matches the blood from their testing for their marriage license. The man that tried to kill her wasn’t an
imposter – “it was you,” she says.
Aiden’s “double” walks in the door; says he is the part of him that he
hides in front of the judge and on Sunday, at Mass; says he is a spineless
jellyfish… tells him Hope will never want him – she’s on to you, he says. He doesn’t want to move on without her; but
his apparent ‘other self’ tells him he will never have her, because she sees
him for what he really is and might just put a bullet in his head if she sees
him again. Says he screwed up, letting
Andre make it look like he put a hit out on Rafe. Arguing with himself, he says he is sure he can fix this; his
double says he better hope so, or he is going to prison for a very long
time. He tells him he needs to find
himself a position of power; then leans down and tells him he’s got his back… they
are in this together. He starts researching
DNA testing and the legal system, and smiles. I wonder how he thinks he is going to get out of this?
