Claire complains to Ciara
about how much of a pain her mother is, trying to run her life, EVEN from
another country; Ciara remarks sarcastically and Claire apologizes, realizing
Ciara misses her mother terribly. Ciara
excuses herself and leaves the room; Claire then hints to Victor that she needs some
money, for a “project for a friend” – he gives her $200 and says he doesn’t care
what she does with it. She hugs him and
asks him not to go anywhere for a long, long time. Hope is playing cards with Hattie, her friend in prison that
looks just like Marlena; Hattie tells Hope she used to be a secretary in
Chicago, tried speed-dating and met a guy – she says it was perfect, until it
wasn’t. The two inmates, who attacked
Hope earlier, are whispering in the corner about these two having a big
surprise coming. Ciara comes back out
and asks where Claire went; Victor says either off to save the world, or to buy
a new backpack. Ciara asks if he gave
her money and he says he gives all his grandkids (and great-grandkids, I guess)
money. Ciara says she thinks Claire is
“up to something” – Victor smiles and says that’s his girl.
Hope asks for the rest of Hattie’s story;
she said she showed up to work one day and the place was crawling with cops
(someone had embezzled a lot of money and it traced to her computer)… she says
she doesn’t even know how to send an email - it was probably her boyfriend who
set her up. Hope offers to have Rafe
look into her case; no promises. A big,
manly woman walks in; the other two tell her Hope is a cop and say “Hattie is
sucking up to her” (comments ensue about Hope’s looks). The big woman says she won’t be so pretty
when she gets done with her. She goes
over and tells Hope to move out of “her” chair; Hope ignores her request. Hattie stands up to her but the woman could
care less. She pulls out a knife; Hope
stands up and pushes the woman down, face-first into the table and sits her in
the chair. She asks if she’s happy now;
the big bully doesn’t know what to think.
Deimos walks in clapping his hands?
He tells everyone that he wants to talk to Hope alone; everyone but
Hattie exits the room. He notices her
resemblance to Marlena; she lets him know she’s tired of hear about it and
leaves the room.
Deimos apologizes for
his part in kidnapping Beau; Hope tells him to leave. He tells her he can’t undo the pain he caused her, but he
promises to find a way to help her now; he turns and leaves. Hope looks confused. Hattie comes back in to ask who Deimos is,
commenting on how gorgeous he was; Hope says he’s nothing but trouble. Everyone else comes back in, the two start
harassing Hope again and the big woman tells them to quit; she says she has
“taken a shine” to Hope. Later, she
admits to Hattie that someone on the outside is paying the guards, and they
offered to pay her, a good amount of money, to make sure Hope stays safe in there. Hattie assumes Hope doesn’t need her
anymore; Hope tells her they are friends.
When Deimos gets back home, Victor thanks him for taking the steps
necessary to make sure Hope is safe in prison.
Rafe and Shaun are reviewing emails from Steffano’s account; they see
one they find somewhat interesting.
They have Kate call the doctor named on the email, a Dr. Kline; when she
mentions Steffano, the doctor hangs up on her.
They wonder why. They find out
Steffano had recently taken out a new life insurance policy; Shaun wonders who
would insure him, since Steffano was so old.
Kate says for enough money, a lot of companies will; they ponder the
idea that Steffano actually set Hope up to shoot him.
Theo stops by the hospital to pick his dad up; he just had his
final exam, but tells Valerie he hopes he can still see her; she says he knows
where she is. Theo says they are going
to pick out a Christmas Tree – the ugliest one, to pretty it up and take care
of it (like his mother used to do) – he suggests Valerie come along with
them. She smiles and accepts the
invitation. Afterward, they invite her
to spend Christmas with them. She gets
a phone call, but misses it; she says she has been having problems with it
lately. Theo asks if she has tried a
factory re-boot; she has no idea what he’s talking about. Abe tells her Theo is a wiz with electronics;
she leaves him with it while she goes to get coffee… Theo sees some text
messages, which he takes a picture of.
Ciara shows up and tells Theo she has been talking to a guy on the
dating site he set up for her; he encourages her to text him and see if he’s
free. He tells her to have him meet her
there in the square and he will stay and watch to make sure everything is
okay. The guy shows up; it’s an old
friend of JJ’s; a known drug dealer.
She tells him to go away; he asks if they couldn’t have coffee anyway
and she laughs at him and walks away.
He follows her; she gives in and they sit down, but she immediately
regrets it. Ciara shows up and Theo
shows her the picture he took of those text messages; she tells him Valerie is
definitely hiding something and suggests they get spyware to find out what else
is on her phone.
