Belle takes Claire
shopping, and they discuss her future career; they also talk about Chloe’s
relationship with Shaun, and Belle and Phillip. Then Claire mentions ‘this boy’ who she likes, but he’s not
really over another girl; Theo runs into Ciara in the square and asks her about
moving back home – she says her mom needed help after the surgery, so… they
both shrug. They meet Claire and her
mom there and Claire asks if she can come with them to take flowers to
Jennifer; Claire grabs Theo’s hand and walks off (Theo is smiling, but looks
confused, and Ciara rolls her eyes).
Chad and Jennifer are talking…being ‘civil’ to each other, considering
all that’s gone on. She tells him she
is still concerned about his ability to take care of Thomas – and he throws out
that there’s no way she is able to care for him, given the fact that she tried
to overdose “last night.” She agrees;
after she leaves, Chad talks to Abigail, apologizing for never renovating the
mansion like he promised they would. He
says, “let’s do it baby…let’s renovate” and he starts tearing the room apart
(throwing furniture and décor around in anger). Meanwhile, the kids show up at Jennifer’s house; Doug and Julie
tell them Jen is not there. They ask
Claire about her music and she mentions Theo being her biggest fan; Ciara gets
upset and leaves the room. Julie
follows and asks what’s wrong; she claims just to be worried about Chad. Lucas and Adrian show up.
When Jennifer gets home, they all reminisce
about Abby as a baby and young girl; Jennifer says she takes solace in the fact
that Abby is not hurting any more, and she is with Jack. Theo asks Claire to sing a song for them;
she sings Amazing Grace, as the scene flashes from there to Chad throwing
things around, them hugging, and back again to Chad crying. Jennifer tells her family that she is
concerned that Chad isn’t in shape to take care of Thomas; Lucas defends him,
but Jennifer doesn’t think he deserves a chance. She acknowledges that she won’t ever get custody now, after
falling off the wagon again, but says she just wants Thomas to be safe. Lucas tells her to call him if she even
thinks about using again; she promises she will. Belle goes to see Chad and finds him on the floor; he tells her
that he wants her to be a part of his future.
Laughing about how cathartic his little tantrum was, he says he wants to
change things; he wants to make Dimira Enterprises great again, for Thomas’
security – he asks her to come to work for him, doing legal paperwork and such. He promises her competitive pay and
reasonable hours, and says she can still take cases on the side; and says she
could take pride in helping to legitimize the Dimira name. She says she will think about it, then
begins to clean up his mess. Sonny and
Gabi have lunch, then they go to visit Will’s grave; he tells her it was
something he’s been wanting to do, but couldn’t do it alone. They talk about what a wonderful person Will
was, and Sonny says all this past year has taught him is that you have to
protect those that you love and stay close to them because you never know when
they will be gone.
Julie reads her
daughter a poem, saying when she is ready to have a memorial for Abby, she
would like to read it; the poem is “Do Not Stand at My Grave and Cry” and it
ends with the words, “I do not sleep; I did not die.” The scene flashes to a dingy motel room? A girl is sobbing under the covers; all that
is visible is hand, with a familiar ring on her finger.
