Nicole
and Brady are at the hospital worrying about Chloe. He wonders if they
should call her parents but she thinks they should wait. A message comes in
that makes her gasp. She makes up an excuse and runs off to make a call.
"What do you know about my sister?" she asks someone on the phone.
Bo
and Hope return to the pier in the fog. Roman is there with forensics. They
show him the artist's sketch. It's vaguely familiar to all of them. The cops
look around. Gus watches from the top of the stairs of death. He swipes one
of their phones when they aren't looking. The cops find the hairs that he
planted. "Maybe we finally got the break we need," Roman says. After he
leaves, Bo and Hope photograph blood and make out.
In
her hospital room, Chloe mumbles Gus' name. Brady comes in as Lexi checks
her over. She says the EEG shows brain activity but it doesn't seem to be
significant. He holds Chloe's hand and tells her about when they were in
Italy. She starts convulsing when he asks what happened to her. Lexi gets
her to stabilize and then sends Brady out. Later, the doctor tells him that
Chloe was emotionally agitated so she must have heard him. Lexi advises him
to spend more time with the diva. He returns to her room, plays opera for
her and talks to her about Parker. He wants to hear her sing again. "You
need to come back to me," he says, kissing her hand.
At
Chez Rouge, Kate tells EJ to stop being an idiot and let her help him. He
doesn't want her advice and suggests she run over to the hospital to enjoy
seeing Chloe in a coma. They chuckle about it and she offers to be ruthless
on his behalf if he needs it. She repeats that he needs a wife to soften his
image. He reminds her that he has a wife. "I said a wife, not a tarantula,"
she says. He starts mocking her marital advice and tells her to shut up.
Kate laughs at him. "You really expect to fall in love again... it's
hopeless," she says. Kate mocks all of his relationships. He narrows his
eyes and mocks her relationship with his father. "You're everything a woman
should want... except human," she says. She knows she's no saint, that's why
she's good for Stefano. He eats a loaf of bread as she continues doling out
advice about getting a trophy wife. He assures her that he has everything
under control for his big plan to change the family's reputation. She
wonders if he is really ready to turn the town on its ear. Kate leaves him
to pay for dinner. He makes a call for an update and then smirks about the
news. Elvis orders two glasses of champagne just as Nicole arrives.
Rafe
and Sami go home to drink wine and celebrate while the kids are out. They joke
around about drinking champagne every day and she decides she wants to go back
to work. He tells her that it's a good thing she doesn't work at the Salem PD
because she'd keep him distracted... sort of like Hope does to Bo. He worries
that it might be hard for her to get a job but she's determined. They polish off
a bottle and she talks about how much life experience she's gained since her
last job, like paying bills online and filling out field trip forms. He thinks
she would be indispensable to any company. They go to the bedroom and discuss
money saving strategies. She teases him for how little he does around the house
and then starts stripping him down. They light candles and have sex.
Nicole
strolls into Chez Rouge. She spots EJ and calls him a loser. He points out the
two glasses on the table and asks her to join him. She's reluctant but can't
turn down booze. "What the hell is it that you want?" she asks. When he reminds
her that she's his wife, she gets nauseous and confronts him for bonking her
sister. He claims he has no 'earthly idea' what he saw in Taylor. She laughs and
then blabs about her sister's criminal record. Elvis explains that he wants to
be a decent and respectable person and he thought Taylor could lead him to that.
They toast to knowing who they really are. He recalls the first time they ever
met and tells her she's wonderfully devious, sadistic and underhanded. She
thanks him. He fondles his tie and wants to order more booze. Nicole says she
has other places to be. "Thank you for the bubbly hubby," she says, before
leaving. He sighs and walks out alone.
At
the hospital, Brady tells Chloe to fight for the sake of Parker and her friends.
He kisses her hands. Kinsey looks on and worries. They discuss keeping Chloe's
latest job a secret. Brady tells Kinsey that a love like his for Chloe never
goes away. Their marriage may not have worked but he still wants her to be
happy. It kills him that she never turned to him for help. When Kinsey wants to
leave, he insists that his driver escort her to see her friends. Once she
leaves, Brady beats himself up about not realizing what was happening to her.
Nicole arrives to check in. She tells him it's time to come home. He won't leave
Chloe alone.
At
The Cheatin' Heart, Gabi drags Will away from the boys to play pool. He hates
pool because he sucks at it. "The winner chooses our next activity," she
declares. Gabi kicks his ass. Across the room, Mel babbles to Abby about meeting
her brother and finally having a real family. Mel wanders over to Gabi and they
start chatting about Dario. Gabi goes back to beating Will. She thinks they
should spend the night camping. "If that's what you want," he says. Dario walks
in and loudly declares that he has incredible news. Titan is giving him a
promotion. Mel hugs him and tells him he deserves it. He gets them wine to
toast. She worries this means she will see him even less. He claims he will
always have time for her. Dario wants to prove to her family that he's worthy of
her. They slow dance and he promises again to always make time for her. As
they're making out, the other kids are discussing their web company plans. Sonny
asks how they can get more venture capital. Kinsey arrives and they talk about
Chloe and how dangerous everything is. Suddenly, Dario gets a call from HR. It
turns out that his promotion means he had to move to Argentina in a week. Elvis
shows up to see his brother and starts asking him about his business venture. He
offers to cut him a check but Chad insists he's fine and eats some ice. "Nothing
comes for free with you people," he says. EJ thinks that's rude.
Mel
is at the Cheatin' Heart calling Brady to accuse him of messing with Dario. She
says he's mean and nasty. Dario shows up. She starts babbling. He admits that he
heard what she just said and says she should talk to him rather than pretend
she's fine about his new job. He says that he won't take the job if it makes her
unhappy. Mel admits she's being a drama queen but he's sure that sticking around
is what he wants. He heads back to work
At
the station, Bo and Hope put the police sketch into a facial recognition
program. They head over to the pub for salsa and chat about the upcoming party.
When she looks at her phone, she gets dour and suddenly starts crying about
Alice and all of the recipes she left behind. "I miss my Gran," she says. Hope
wishes Alice could have seen her dream for a new town square come true. He tells
her how much he misses fishing with his pop. She vows to make this the best
party ever. They head back to work. The sketch wasn't recognized so they decide
to look for more evidence.
Gus
strolls into the pub. Viv rails at him to pick up her dry cleaning. He taunts
her for eating alone rather than with her beloved son. She accuses him of being
jealous of her 'handsome, masculine' son while he's just a servant. Viv thinks
he should get a hobby. "I have. I'm a vigilante," he says. She guffaws.
"Oh
my god!" Taylor groans as she wakes up and realizes she's in bed with Quinn. He
wonders if she regrets it. She doesn't. She's been trying to get him out of her
head but it's never worked. Quinn wishes they could start over. They do the
first introductions routine and then make out. They order croissants and
strawberries and marvel at how much they've changed. She begins talking about
Chloe. "Um... Chloe?" he mumbles. He gets upset when she tells him the diva is
in a coma and grumbles that he wants to kill the guy who did it. When she spills
some orange juice on her shirt, she goes off to change and he calls Chloe to
leave a concerned message. As Taylor returns, Viv and Gus show up at the door.
The couple gets dressed and Gus tells Viv that her son is obviously too busy for
her. He's sure she will hate any woman who gets involved with her son. The
couple returns and Viv gets friendly with Taylor. Quinn tells 'Russ' to order
room service. Gus fumes. Viv decides they should have lunch and sends Gus off to
run errands. He pockets Quinn's key card on the way out. 
Sami
and Rafe make out at the pub. He claims he will never get sick of her. She
starts offering homespun wisdom and then they make another public display. She
looks through job ads but soon realizes she has almost no education or job
experience. Rafe won't let her give up. Instantly, she finds a job she gets
excited about. Since there's no actual job description, he thinks it sounds
sketchy. He asks her to wait until he checks it out and then leaves for work. As
soon as he's gone, she applies. Caroline comes over to check on Sami and says
she looks sneaky. Sami explains what she just did. Her grandma brings up her
cancer scare and wonders why she didn't tell her about it. Sami says she will
next time. They yammer about the party. Caroline putters back to work and Sami
notices she already got a response to her application.
At
the mansion, Maggie asks Victor if she can bring some of his flowers to the
hospital. He likes that she keeps redecorating his place and asks if she's
decided about moving in. She nearly falls over and changes the subject. The
redhead fusses with flowers and he worries she's been avoiding him. Maggie gives
him a long-winded explanation about her feelings and how much she enjoys their
mutual stubbornness. This doesn't get through, so she tells him that a real
commitment means marriage and she doesn't want that now. He's shocked. "It's not
you, it's me," she says. She spills out more cliches and insists that she still
loves him. After giving him a peck on the cheek, she walks out.
At
the station, Bo barks at the lab on the phone. He moans to Hope about it. She
gets bags of food from her caterer so they can finalize their party menu. They
start eating. He spits it out. She shovels more in and then sits on his lap. He
says the food isn't what people will remember about their party. They compare
favorites and suck face. Then they go back to worrying about their case. Rafe
joins them and they try to figure out a psychological profile on the attacker.
He starts asking about the party. Hope teases him. A fax comes in with the
results from the DNA test. Quinn is the match for the hair.
Taylor
and Quinn arrive at Chez Rouge for a meal with his mom. Viv arrives to say they
look adorable. She complains about Gus having a snit fit. She starts
complimenting Taylor on her MBA. Quinn gets nervous because his mom is being so
nice. They eat and Taylor asks her to the museum. Viv worries about leaving Gus
alone. Quinn runs off to get a new pass key. The women talk about getting to
know Quinn. Viv admits that she wasn't expecting to like Taylor but she thinks
they could actually be friends. After they chat, Taylor admits that she's known
him for a few years but they only recently reconnected. Viv starts quizzing her
about his past. Meanwhile, Gus sneaks into Quinn's room using his pass key. He
starts tearing up photos of Quinn and Viv. "I did this all for you," he tells
Viv's picture. He plants the nightstick somewhere obvious. As he's about to
leave, Quinn arrives.
Nicole
drops by the hospital to see Brady and Chloe. She apologizes for giving him a
hard time. They sadly talk about the situation. She thinks they should call
Philip and have him bring Parker. He thinks that's a good idea. Then they could
loop the kid's voice and play it 24/7. She drags him off to get food that
doesn't come from a vending machine.
Kate
and EJ stroll into Chez Rouge gossiping about the Horton party. She doesn't like
all the secrecy. When they're shown to their table, Stefano pops up. She's
thrilled and they hug. They kiss and he tells her she's beautiful. They go off
together for a quick dance while EJ orders their meals. The couple returns and
begins badgering EJ about getting a companion. Stefano says you can't wait for a
magical 'poof' to give you love, you have to look for it. Nicole walks in with
Brady. Synthesizer music plays. This makes Stefano lose his appetite. Brady asks
Nicole if they should go somewhere else but she insists they stay. They start
dancing. EJ stares. Brady gets a call from the hospital and goes outside to take
it. Elvis strolls over to Nicole as his father shakes his head. He asks her to
dance. She resists but that turns into a tango. Brady returns as it gets
intimate. He narrows his eyes as EJ pulls a rose out of nowhere and puts it in
her hand before whispering that her boyfriend's back. "Glad you kept yourself
busy with twinkle-toes," Brady snipes at Nicole. Stefano asks his son if he's
lost his mind. EJ stares at Nicole.
Nicholas
goes to see his mom at rehab. She's afraid of what she has to do today.
Meanwhile, Jenn and Daniel are discussing Carly's condition. Maxine calls him to
say that there's no change with Chloe. "She has to wake up soon," he says. Dr.
Norman arrives to tell them that Carly seems to be avoiding the meeting. Carly
and her son suddenly arrive. She sits down and begins telling her friends about
detoxing. In tears, she apologizes to them. Daniel says that he can accept her
personal apology, but not the trust she broke at the hospital endangering her
patients. She keeps apologizing and admits that their relationship pushed her
over the edge and she still can't deal with it. Although she thinks he belongs
with Jenn, she's still stuck on him. Jenn tells her to let the guilt go. Carly
declares that she's leaving for good to stay out of their lives. They don't like
that, tell her how much they love her and want her around. Carly hugs Jenn and
says she just needs to see things more clearly.
At
the station, Rafe helps Bo and Hope search for dirt on Quinn. They discover he's
Viv's son and he's been busted as a pimp. Hope goes off to get a warrant. They
also find out he was arrested with Taylor and they wonder if she was feeding him
information.
Quinn
returns to his room just as Gus is about to leave. Gus hides in the closet. When
Quinn goes into the washroom, Gus sneaks out. After hearing on the radio that
the cops are on the way, he knocks on the door and tells him Viv's coming. He
paces around nervously until the police show up. Hope flashes her warrant. They
barge in and search his room. Rafe discovers the bloody nightstick. Quinn says
he's never seen it before. Gus smirks. The cops arrest him as he argues he's
innocent. Back at the hospital, a nurse gives Chloe a pep talk.
