Kate meets with Andre; he asks what
she has found out about the key. She
says, "nothing," but she tells him, Jen was on the pier that night, obviously playing reporter; Andre gets upset and she tells him to calm
down. He tells her Deimos is getting
ready to torture Chad and Gabi, and asks how she expects him to be mellow. He then wonders what the judge is going to
decide about Hope; Kate says he should prepare himself that Hope may go free…
it’s hard to uphold a murder conviction when the victim is up and walking
around, she says. He cringes in his seat. Austin and Kari happen by;
Austin calls out, “mother” and Kate jumps up to hug him. She asks why they didn’t tell her they were
coming for the wedding; they say they were just invited in Prague. She sits them down and tells them to tell
her everything.
Hope finds out that the
same day Andre showed up to take Hattie on her date, the DeMira Enterprises
account was hacked and money was withdrawn; she says it was withdrawn, using
Andre’s ID and she thinks she can prove it.
She gets a notification from the Salem Paper; she reads that her
conviction has been overturned… she jumps up and hugs Eric in excitement,
saying she has been exonerated. She
delights in the fact that she didn’t kill Steffano after all; Eric looks sad
and she apologizes for being insensitive.
She tells him she owes her life to him and doesn’t know how she can
thank him; he says by going home to her family and living a happy life. She tells him he should do the same; he says
he can’t, eventually snapping at her to leave it alone. He says he doesn’t want to be a constant
reminder and begins to cry. She kisses
him on the cheek and says she will say no more, except thank you, adding God
bless you Eric; she leaves.
Steve comes
into Brady’s Pub and gives Kayla a box of Chocolates, and wishes her a happy
Valentine’s Day; he suggests they get married and she agrees. Shane comes in and asks about Hope; Kayla
says they haven’t heard anything yet.
Rafe comes in and tells everyone that the conviction has been
reversed. They celebrate. Steve says he is going back to the Salem Inn
to change into his suit; Kayla tells him she can’t wait for the wedding. Kayla talks to her mother, telling her they
are getting married in a church and of course they are having a mass; she
insists she stay there and re-cooperate.
She laughs after hanging up and asks Adrian if that was horrible to lie
to her mom like that; she just doesn’t want to upset her when she’s just
getting better, she says. Austin asks
his mother how she can live with Andre; she tells him he isn’t all that bad. Kari says she has to get going and says she
will see them at the wedding; Austin asks how Kate feels about Steffano being
out and running around again. She says
she isn’t worried about it.
Kayla has a
surprise visitor; apparently, it’s her daughter? Kayla calls her ‘baby.’
She says she wouldn’t miss this wedding for anything; she says “daddy”
thought it was a good idea and she is so happy that Kayla and “papa” are going
to be together again. She gives her
mother a gift; a blue nightie. Kayla
calls her “Stephanie Johnson” – she says she can’t believe she was in on this. Kari brings Kayla a pair of earrings to
borrow. Marlena asks Kayla if she is
ready; she says she is “so ready.”
Shane and Steve talk about the sting operation they pulled off; Steve
questions if they really did. Shane
says Hope doesn’t have to live with having killed Steffano anymore and assures
Steve that everyone, including Hope, (except the two of them) think he is just
a fugitive now, roaming the world and they don’t have to be afraid of him; as
it should be, Steve says. Shane reminds
Steve that no one can ever know about this, except them; Steve doesn’t like
lying to Kayla and questions why they can’t tell their wives. Joey arrives. Steve asks how they are doing in the communal house, and asks how
Jade is; Joey says her parents still have nothing to do with her and she really
appreciates all their support. Steve
says her parents may step up one day; Joey says not to hold his breath. Joey congratulates them on what they did for
Hope; Steve cuts him short, telling him to go find his mother. He wants to get this show on the road.
Hope walks in the door of the police station
and hugs everyone; Rafe hugs her and says she must have seen the news. The commissioner says they shouldn’t
celebrate so soon; apparently, she is still being charged with the escape from
Pentonville. She explains how she was
chloroformed and smuggled out in a garbage bin; she says she was left bleeding
by the side of a road because she fought him when she came to. He questions why she looks so good; she says
a “good Samaritan” came by and helped her out, and took care of her. Rafe says with all that information, the
charges should be dropped; the commissioner walks out in a huff. Andre shows up at the police station, Shawn
and Ciara follow him in; he says he wants a word in private but Rafe doesn’t
leave the room. Andre tells them the
deal they had is now ‘off’ – he starts making threats to tell the true story of the cover up and Rafe's involvement;
she says she has a story to tell too, and proceeds to bring up his alias as
Alfonso, better known as ‘Alfie,’ who stole a bunch of money from his own family's company. She says there is video
footage of him sitting at Hattie’s desk the day the money disappeared, and
tells him about the evidence she has found tracing the money to him. She says she can either give all the
information to the FBI, or just enough to get Hattie out of prison; in
exchange, she says, he stops making threats to her or anyone else. Holding a thick, blue file in front of her,
she asks him which will it be? Andre
says he will take the deal; he leaves.
Rafe and Hope hug in celebration; Andre stares at them through the
window.
Austin questions his mom about the man in her life
right now; he is surprised when she tells him there is no man – he detects that
there was someone, and she really like him.
He tells her she could make him come around to her way of thinking; she
changes the subject. Friends and family
gather at the Pub, which is decorated nicely for Steve and Kayla's wedding; someone walks in with a surprise. Eric writes a letter and puts it in an envelope.
