At TBD, replay of Miguel Garcia fessing up to sending the flowers and introducing himself but Chloe doesn't know him. He and Lucas do some posturing. Blah blah. Turns out he works for someone, who saw her perform twice in Vienna. She didn't respond to his gifts, but he is hoping to arrange a meeting with her. Chloe declines. Miguel's boss wants to have her star in an opera in Mexico City.
Meanwhile Brady tells Eve that the contest went live online. More blah blah about how Brady really loves Eve, even though it started as a sham. She wants to stick to business, plays with a knife to keep him at bay. She offers to buy him out. He refuses, what would he do? She suggests he either beg Sonny for a job, or drink himself to death - she doesn't care. Maybe spend time with Tate. Although Brady's eyes suggest the offer is generous, he rejects it; she's stuck with him. Bella was named after his mother, whom he never knew. Eve's not buying the schtick. Brady stands strong, they will only be happy together.
At Teen Loft, Claire is watching the contest and is confident. Ciara is not. Tripp looks on. Ciara says that Claire's not humble because she voted for herself. Ciara then votes for herself as well. Claire suggests that Tripp will vote for her, goes to Skype with Theo. Ciara's lip quivers as she asks Tripp if he wants to vote for Claire. He is steadfast in his refusal to vote. There's a bit of back and forth, basically he wants to keep the peace by not voting. Ciara seems upset; from a doorway, Claire seems amused by this development.
At the hospital, John meets Marlena, hoping to take her to lunch. She hides her tablet screen, he gets suspicious. She lies that it's patient records, he sees through it. She admits that she's trying to get information on possible trials that can help Steve, didn't want to get anyone's hopes up, but she's had no luck. Marlena wants to ease John's guilt, but he is inconsolable.
At the Pub, Kayla is trying to cheer Steve up, maybe throw some darts or something. He is quiet. She persists. He says he can't see her, can't see anything. She holds his hand, they will get through this together. She wants to take him to the hospital, get him checked out.
Over at the hospital, Steve and Kayla enter as John is continuing his guilt trip. Kayla is flustered, won't really look at John, as they admit Steve can't see anything. Kayla is a bit overwhelmed, wants to go see someone (Dr Cole? sorry folks, not watching with DVR so I can't rewind) but can't remember which floor he's on. Marlena tells her 6th, offers to go there with her. Kayla wants to stay with Steve. Steve wants John to take him to the exam room. Marlena and Kayla leave. Later in the exam room, Steve is situated and John doesn't want to leave. They try to joke but it's awkward, but leads to discussion of Steve's role in the partnership. He can't be a detective anymore and he's worried about being a burden to Kayla.
Outside in the waiting/nurses area, Kayla wonders how long Dr Cole will be, wants to rush back to Steve. Marlena gets her to sit down and open up. Kayla admits her heart is breaking at seeing Steve so vulnerable. They enter the room as John is assuring Steve that his brain will still help the agency. John tells Kayla that they will help anytime, standing offer. Kayla thanks him, but there is still resistance/sadness in her voice. (Great scenes here.)
Back at the Nurses' station, John tells Marlena about a chat he had with Steve after being bested at darts, wherein he felt a bit of guilt alleviated because he felt nothing would change. But now Steve wants to be bought out. Marlena consoles him, lets him know she supports his refusal. Back in the Exam Room, Steve's exam is done. All seems hopeless. Kayla keeps up hope that they will find something. Steve is moving toward accepting things, remembers that Dr Cole brought a cane and some things to help him. She wants him to schedule with Occupational Therapy, he will, but wants to dive in. She is tearing up as she hands him the cane. She hands him a pair of glasses to protect his eyes from sunlight and glare. But he has to give up the patch.
Steve is really choked up, walks through the history of his patch, from hating the first cheap one he had, to loving a custom made one that made him feel like a "badass". (No talk about the time he had the prosthetic eye.) Kayla assures him he will always be the man she fell in love with. He can't do it, so she turns him around, and removes it for him. They kiss (but Steve is facing away from the camera). She puts the glasses on him.
Back at the Nurses' Station, John and Marlena are stunned as Kayla comes out holding Steve's patch. Steve comes out, glasses and cane, slowly navigating. Kayla praises him; there's nary a dry eye in the foursome (or around twitter, or my office). END
