Jade is in the square,
looking through a wallet and counting money; Joey walks up behind her and says
her name. She is startled, and claiming she
is just upset that she doesn’t have enough money to buy gifts; she gets pissy and
asks what he is doing there. He says he
was looking for her; he wanted to make sure she was okay. She tells him that she knows he only cares
about the baby, not her, and tells him to go away. She sits down at a table. Santa happens by and asks to sit down while he’s on his break;
Jade says sure. He makes fun of her for
being so “in the Christmas spirit” and she apologizes; he asks what’s
wrong. She says she is pregnant, and
alone; all she wants for Christmas is for the father of her baby to love her –
Joey overhears. She sees him and
apologizes; she says she didn’t want him to hear that because now he’ll feel
pressured. She leaves; Joey just stands
there, stunned.
Philip barges in the door of the mansion and
attacks Deimos; Victor comes in the room and tells them to stop. Philip tells Deimos to tell his brother what
he did; he, himself, then tells Victor what Deimos did. Deimos denies it; Philip tells his dad, if
he believes Deimos, he is out of his damn mind. He points out how ruthless and greedy Deimos has been, including
taking them all into “his” home when the town was under siege; then asks if his
dad is going to stand up for him or let Deimos get away with what he’s
done. Deimos looks at Victor. Victor asks Philip if he is supposed to lash
out at his brother with no evidence, only his word; he tells Philip he needs
him to substantiate his claims. Philip
stands up and tells Deimos that he is done with him, then adds that he is done
with this whole family; he says he’s leaving Salem. Sweetly, Victor doesn’t let him leave in anger; he tells him he
won’t stop him, or try to change his decision, but he doesn’t want to lose what
they have gained – getting closer this year, he says, they’ve worked so hard
for it and he’s not willing to give that up.
They hug; Philip says he will be in touch. His mom is surprised when he comes to tell her goodbye, but says she understands; they hug. Victor is angry with Deimos and tells him if
he ever pulls a stunt like that with his son again, he will answer to him.
Adrian shows up for her appointment, alone;
after a few minutes, she tells the receptionist that she is actually really
pressed for time and wants to reschedule.
A voice from behind says there will be no need for that; it’s Kate. Adrian smiles; Kate says she will see to it
that they get her in quickly and get her taken care of so she can get on her way. She nods her head at the receptionist; the
receptionist nods back. They sit down
and Kate tells Adrian that she is going to have to accept that she is not in
this alone; it takes a village, she says, to fight cancer. Adrian smiles again. Lucas shows up, saying he ignored her text
message telling everyone to stay away; Adrian is glad to see him there and
tells him so. Kate is ready to cancel
her dinner date with Eduardo, to stay with Adrian, but Adrian tells her to go; Lucas is there
for her. He promises to get her home
safely and put her to bed. Adrian thanks him. He sits with her, as the chemo makes her sleepy; he tells her to rest, and she closes her eyes.
Nicole asks Chloe
what she means… she knew she was coming.
Chloe says, yeah, but she thought she was coming tomorrow, not tonight;
Nicole says she wanted to get there before the snowstorm hit, plus they need to
talk about the baby, and them. Chloe
looks scared. Nicole asks Chloe to come
back to Salem with her tonight; she says they need to spend Christmas with
family. Chloe says she’s not family;
Nicole argues that she is. Chloe tells
Nicole that Philip was there and she sent him away, hurt; Nicole says she’s
sorry… Chloe asks if she really is.
Again, Nicole looks confused.
Nicole points out that they are both friends of hers and she wants them
both to be happy; Chloe accepts that.
She asks what she really wants; Nicole insists she just wants to help
her out, to be her friend, to help take care of the baby and Parker, back home
in Salem.
Chloe tells Nicole, no matter
how good her intentions, she can’t do it; it’s never going to work, because of
Deimos. They agree to just sit and talk
for a few hours, and just be together, being friends; Nicole calls Deimos to
tell him that Chloe won’t come back with her so she’s going to stay just a
little longer, but she’ll be home tonight.
Chloe gets a strange look on her face after Nicole hangs up the phone;
she tells Nicole she is pretty sure her water just broke. They head to the hospital; they have to pull
over along the way due to roads being
closed off by snow. They find an old
motel that appears to be ‘closed – it’s locked up but the lights are still on –
Nicole jimmies the lock. She says they
just need to wait for a few roads to be plowed; but there’s a problem. Chloe is now “in labor.”
