Chad and Sonny discuss
business; Sonny gets called about a problem at the wharf. Gabi is on the phone, asking a storeowner to
open a little early for her to come by and get a present for a certain guy
she’s seeing in an hour (sounds like she’s forgotten all about JJ). Meanwhile, JJ pulls out a special Christmas
ornament he’s had made for Gabi, with her name on it, for their family Christmas
tree. Andre sees Abigail in the park
and asks if she has changed her mind; she says no, she just stayed the night
for her mother. He threatens to tell
Chad she is alive, himself, if she leaves town without doing it. He says it’s his responsibility to tell him
after all this time; she says then she will tell everyone that he paid off
everyone that lied about that plane crash, and Chad will know he’s been lying
this whole time; she says then he can kiss his dreams of being a member of the
DeMira family goodbye. Andre looks
surprised and says she’s not as fragile as he though; she says it’s funny how
that happens.
She goes home and tells
JJ what she saw; he doesn’t believe her and goes to find Gabi… Gabi’s response
is, “who told you?” JJ starts to get
pissed and she asks who he thinks he is; as she gave him another chance because
she thought it was worth it, then she finds out he’s lying to her again. She asks who this girl is that he can’t tell
her about; he says he can’t tell her, and she grabs her bags (with her present
for Chad in them) and tells JJ she’s done… they are done. She storms off.
Paul is strolling on the docks and knocks a box off the top of a
stack that was just delivered; he looks and doesn’t see anyone around; Dario
walks up behind him and catches him trying to cut the box open. He slams him up against the wall and demands
to know who hired him. Sonny walks up
behind him and announces that HE hired him; he says if he has a problem with it
they can talk about it. Dario storms
off; he goes to see Deimos. Sonny and
Paul are right behind him. Deimos
refuses to talk in front of Paul and tells Sonny to come back after he leaves;
Sonny walks Paul out. When Sonny comes
back and talks to Deimos, Deimos agrees to let Paul and Steve investigate for
real. He, himself, makes a phone
call.
Chad goes to talk to Abigail,
next to her statue in the park; he tells 'her' he knows how important the
holidays were to her and he wants to keep things special for Thomas. Gabi shows up in the archway; he invites her
over, admitting he’s just missing Abigail.
Gabi says she misses her too.
She tells Chad that she just broke things off with JJ and it didn’t go
very well. Chad asks what she’s doing
now; she says she has to go see her dad and brother for just a little bit, then
she’s taking Ariana to the party for the kids at the hospital later. Chad asks her to stop by the house in
between; she says that sounds nice.
Gabi shows up to look at the new décor her Eduardo and Dario picked out
for the club; she loves it. Dario sees
the present for Chad and assumes it’s for him; he gets a little upset when she
tells him she and Chad are going to be spending part of the night
together.
Deimos asks Brady if he has
heard from Nicole… she hasn’t come home and isn’t answering her phone. Brady tells him the weather system dumped
about a ton of snow on Chicago last night.
Nicole found a tiny grocery store to walk to and get food; she says her
car door has a mountain of snow on top of it now and the doors are frozen
shut. Deimos manages to get through to
Nicole’s phone for just a minute; she was able to tell him the name of the
lodge “Lakewood,” which was also the name of the Drive it sits on. Their call gets disconnected though, as she
is telling him the road runs alongside a big park. Turns out, that’s not much help; apparently there are a lot of
big parks in Chicago. Chloe’s labor
moves along quickly and the baby starts coming before Nicole even gets the
water warmed up; the baby is born…and it’s a pretty little girl, fairly
newborn, with not nearly the amount of blood on it that there should be
right after birth.
Nicole’s
reaction is adorable; Chloe had been assuming it was another boy – Nicole calls
the baby, “my little girl” as she bounces her in her arms (the baby already
breathing nicely). Nicole cleans
her up, talks to her and hands her to Chloe asking if she’s ready to meet her
mother; Nicole asks Chloe if she has thought of any girl names at all, and
Chloe suggests Nicole name her (Nicole is clearly confused). Chloe tells her she has good reason for
letting her name her, and she hands her back to Nicole; Chloe begins crying. Nicole tells her she’s not making any sense; she
should name her, since she’s her daughter.
Chloe says, “Actually, the truth is….” -and reaches up to touch her left
cheek, which immediately starts drooping (she did a really good job acting
this out); her eyelids flutter, her eyes start to roll upward and her head
falls backward onto the pillow as she passes out. Nicole tries desperately to get a signal back on her phone.
