Despite proof that Claire started the cabin fires, Ben's enemies won't give it up.
Eve: So what if Ben didn't start the cabin fires. He's guilty of causing some other horrible event. Once I get rid of that insubordinate Eli, I'll get the facts and put him away. This is as certain as Jack not recovering his memory and crawling back to squawking Jenny.
Shawn: Anyone who says that our upbringing of Claire left something to be desired is full of it. The Fancy Face II was the perfect place to raise a child. The only reason that she ran off the rails and landed in Bayview was Ben Weston!
Hope: Yes, Ben saved Ciara twice and we worked successfully together to help her, but I'm still not convinced that his reformation will last. Now that I've recovered my detecting smarts by avoiding police headquarters, I'll be on high alert for any backsliding.
Eli: I may currently be at war with the corrupt, inept Eve Deveraux, but as Hope, Lani, and I work to put her behind bars, I'm keeping one eye on Ben. He might not have set fire to the Mammoth Falls and Horton cabins, but there are still a lot more out there in the woods that he could try to burn down. Hey, is creepy Clyde's son and wacky Jordan's brother. Blood will tell.
