Jennifer wakes up, on a
hotel bed, to find Kayla and Belle watching over her… she tries to tell them,
as she looks over at the empty bottle of vodka on the nightstand, it isn’t what
it looks like (but she has no explanation).
She gets up and starts to clean up her mess; Belle admits that she found
her, having come there to take photos of the pills and alcohol, but called
Kayla instead because, being a mother too, she can’t even begin to understand
what she must be going through. They
take her home where Julie and Doug are waiting… Jennifer tells Belle she wants her
to stay, so she doesn’t run and tell Chad.
Kayla tells Belle, if she could stay, she thinks it would help. Belle gives Jennifer her phone; tells her to
look through it and see there are no incriminating photo or anything.
Theo gets uncomfortable after Claire kisses
him, and tries to leave, but Claire talks him into staying for a movie, popcorn
and soda. But he ends up just talking
about Ciara the whole time; Claire clearly gets upset about his obsession with
Ciara. She asks him if he is sorry they
kissed; he explains, he just hasn’t kissed many girls (only Ciara,
actually). Again, Claire is annoyed
with the mention of Ciara’s name. A few
hours have passed since Ciara blurted out that she loved Chad; she is having
some difficulty with Thomas. Chad
questions if her frustration has anything to do with what she said to him
earlier; she denies that having anything to do with it. Chad tells her that he thinks she is great,
but he doesn’t reciprocate her feelings – he does not love her. He apologizes, saying what she is feeling is
his fault… she asks him to explain. He
says it’s life experience; she says she’s been through a lot too, and he’s not
that much older. She says they can keep
it between them, until he’s ready; he says that is crazy. He explains that he cannot even accept that
Abby is gone and he is not ready to move on (and if he were, it wouldn’t be
with her). He tells her she is an
amazing woman, and in many ways she saved his life; she deserves someone who
will love her with all her heart. He
offers to pay her through the end of the year, but he fires her. She leaves, upset.
Claire tells Theo that she thinks he is sweet, and sensitive and
extremely sexy; then asks him to tell her what he likes about her. Chad talks to Thomas (very sweet)… he tells
him he has screwed up, and he’s sorry.
He vows never to screw up again.
Claire’s phone beeps (it’s Ciara, saying she needs to talk), but she
tells Theo their conversation is more important; she says he seems to regret
kissing her, says maybe he should leave.
He tells her no; he says he has no regrets about kissing her – none at
all – he and Ciara have always been friends, he’s always loved her, but they
have grown up and moved on. He kisses
her again (pretty passionately). Ciara
gets frustrated that her text receives no reply; she sits down with a soda to
watch a movie, but apparently changes her mind. She walks into Claire’s apartment (because the door is wide open)
to find her on Theo’s lap.
Chad shows
up at Jennifer’s door, where Belle greets him.
She steps out and tells him to take Thomas and go; he realizes that
Jennifer relapsed – Belle tells Jennifer.
Her response is pretty mature; she’ll just have to deal with the
consequences. Ciara excuses herself and
leaves; Theo tells Claire that he should head home. Claire decides to work on one of her songs, but knows that Theo
is going to talk to Ciara. Ciara asks
Theo if they are a couple now; he says no and tells her to call anytime if she
needs to talk. He leaves.
Jennifer agrees to go to a meeting at the
hospital, but is hesitant to go in when Julie takes her there. Jennifer does go in to the meeting and she
speaks, from the heart (looking at her mother) saying that she truly
understands now that the only way to get through pain is to just ‘get through’
it; sad as she is about her daughter, she has so much more to live for.
