Fun note: This was not originally a Friday episodes. It (unless I'm reading #47's chart wrong) should have aired 8/12/2020, as a Wednesday episode.
Hospital: Will is keeping tabs on Allie as they banter and recap. Outside, Sami stomps in, demanding Marlena tell her where Allie is. She enters later, interrupting Will's flashback of Sami telling him to keep quiet about her talk with Rafe. They get a wedding recap after Sami does a mini-rant about how stupid they were to be in Ben's wedding; later, Sami's upset that Allie passed out and nobody told her, and gets in a dig about Allie keeping her baby. Allie recounts a wedding moment that strengthened her resolve to let Rafe adopt her baby; Sami makes another plea for Will & Sonny. Allie says it's Rafe's decision now.
Townhouse: Belle texts Shawn-D, she's going to sleep; John enters, Belle learns what happened. As John is recapping, Claire enters, wants details. She gets lots of one-shot reactions as John lays out what happened.
St Luke's: Ciara is frantic as the rubble is cleared, and Ben is unfound. She and Hope go to look around, assuming Ben might have been injured and is wandering about. Rafe and Shawn-D begin a canvas.
Square: Hope and Ciara are trying to contact Ben. Ciara lost her phone in the explosion. Shawn-D arrives, says there was a bomb. Ciara is convinced she's the target.
Townhouse: Belle has spoken with Marlena; Claire enters, crying. Ciara enters, Claire is happy to see her. Ciara accuses her of planting the bomb and really rants and raves about it; Shawn-D and Hope arrive and try to get Ciara out of there, but she keeps on ranting. Claire tries to lay out the case (e.g., even if she wanted to hurt Ciara, she wouldn't have endangered Shawn-D, Marlena, John, etc) for her innocence. Ciara KNOWS Claire did it, demands Claire be arrested; Hope takes her out of there...but not before Ciara says Claire will be locked up for a long time & she'll do everything in her power to keep her there forever. Claire wants her parents' full support, knows she doesn't have it.
Hospital: Rafe tells John and Marlena about the wedding disaster. Over by the coffee station, Sami makes jokes about Ben's disappearance to Rafe's disgust. She wants to talk about the adoption, he shuts it down, she lost the right to interfere in his life when they divorced. Sami won't give permission/her blessing, again requests he not adopt the baby.
Allie's Hospital Room: Allie is prepared for Lucas to make a pitch like Sami's; he isn't going to, he was just worried about her. (Great scene.) Lucas does have his opinions, but he's not pressuring Allie. Later, Rafe drops by, tells her Ben is still missing and he's flattered, but he won't adopt her baby. He's not ready to raise a child yet after what happened with David.
Hospital Waiting Area: John is picking at his bandage, Marlena scolds him. John is thankful that they are all right, worries about Ben and Ciara, is glad Claire can't be blamed.
Townhouse: Shawn-D says to Belle that even if Claire drugged Ciara, ruined the dress, and stole the ring - she couldn't have planted the bomb since Belle watched her all night. Belle has a flashback, says...well, not exactly.
Salem Inn: Ciara wants to be alone, Hope will be close by. Hope sits in a chair in the hallway; inside, Ciara sees a romantic layout Ben prepared earlier. She flashes back to their ring exchange. She sobs on the petal-laden bed.
Location Unknown: Close-up on Ben. Someone closes a trunk as the camera pans out. END.
