Chloe tells Daniel he's a good man, and then he kisses her. Daniel and Chloe fall to the couch, kissing. Daniel pulls back, says he can't do this. Chloe says yes he can, it's meant to be. They start kissing again. Chloe reaches down to unbuckle his belt and he stops her. She reminds him they were in love once and Parker is proof of that love. He said she was there and saw/heard what Jennifer said. He says he can't use Chloe to get over his problem (with Jennifer). Daniel says Jennifer doesn't lie, her feelings were genuine today; and he has no right to use and hurt Chloe to get past what happened today. She says he's the best man she's ever known (barf
).
Daniel says he'll go to see Parker and maybe he can have Melanie meet them there (in NYC). Chloe says no, she'll have her mom bring Parker home; then she leaves the apartment (and calls Nancy; says Jennifer and Daniel are done and to bring Parker home). Daniel pours a drink and relives the argument with Jennifer as he holds the necklace. Someone knocks on the door; it's Maggie; says she's sorry for what happened at the hospital. He doesn't want to talk about it; Maggie says OK, then pulls him into a hug.
Maggie comes in and sees the bottle of booze. She talks about how many times a drink made her feel better, like never. She talks of being an alcoholic. She wants to fix him a hot cup of tea; wishes she can make him feel better; feels like it's her fault, because she was Jennifer's biggest cheerleader; but now she's mad at Jen and doesn't want to see her anymore; doesn't understand why she did what she did. Daniel says "because of Jack". Daniel says he may not have Jennifer, but he has Parker; says Nancy's coming back with Parker tomorrow, so he won't do anything stupid (get drunk) because he needs to be clear-headed to see his son tomorrow. Maggie is relieved he won't get drunk. Maggie tells Daniel that she went off on Jennifer for what she did. They have a chuckle. Daniel says he's going for a walk; Maggie offers her company, but he declines. She leaves and he thanks her, calls her "mom"; says he's so glad she came by; they hug.
Cameron comes on stage, dressed as a boxer, gyrating, bumping and grinding. Abby and Chad leave the club, thinking they missed Cameron. She runs back in to get her purse and her jaw hits the floor as she sees Cameron on stage, stripping down to shiny gold shorts. Chad's pacing outside, waiting for Abby to come out; finally heads back into the club. Abby stands there, horrified, as Cameron gyrates, while ladies tuck money into his shorts. Cameron sees Abby; they lock eyes.
Chad sees Cameron on stage; he makes a few jokes, but Abby is clearly not amused. She said they're leaving as a guy grabs Abby and says she's not going anywhere. Tells her to step over to the side. Cameron comes out to talk to Abby and Chad. Cameron is mad that Abby followed him. Chad keeps making jokes (pretty funny). Chad thought they were helping him, because they're concerned about him. Cameron said if they were really his friends, they wouldn't be there. Cameron says what he does there is his personal business. Abby brings up Cameron paying off the goon in the hospital. Chad mentions something about Abby being a virgin (he's pretty amusing in this scene!) Cameron says he doesn't owe Abby any explanation. She screeches at him (just like her mother).
Cameron says he can take care of himself, but Chad asks why Cameron carries a gun. Cameron tells them to leave (as Chad makes more jokes). Cameron says he has a mountain of student loans and he had to help Celeste (financially). He borrowed the money from the goon. Chad says Cameron should've come to him; but Cameron says he doesn't want DiMera money; asks them not to tell anyone about this. Cameron walks away. Abby and Chad talk about the situation, wonder how they can help Chad make more money. Chad says he probably couldn't make as much as he does at the club, as Cameron comes back out on stage, this time dressed as a policeman.
Nicole asks Eric about his religious conference; he tells Nicole he might not be coming back. Nicole is stunned. Eric says he got transfer papers. The Bishop is considering moving Eric to another parish, maybe a parish that needs him more. Nicole talks about all of the good Eric's done for the church and new school. Then she grabs the transfer papers and tears them to pieces. She tells Eric he's done so much for the church; he's a good man. Eric says he's going to miss discussing theology with Nicole because she has a unique point of view. He said he took a vow and has to go where sent to serve. She begins to cry; he tells her not to be upset. She asks what she'll do without him. Nicole says it's all Kristen's fault (Eric had mentioned making Brady and Kristen step down from the board; guess the Bishop didn't like that?? Not sure why Nicole says it's Kristen's fault).
Nicole tells Eric she's going to call the Bishop herself. Eric says oh yeah, that's a great idea (sarcastically). He tells Nicole she'll continue on the path she's started (being a better person); they hold hands and she cries. He tells her how she always has his back; helped him with his nightmares; says she turned him around and he thanks her; says she's tough as nails and one hell of a friend. He says they're going to save their goodbyes as he heads for the door; he turns around and asks her for a favor. He asks Nicole to help Vargas and cut him some slack. Nicole says they're buddies now, it's not a problem. Eric didn't realize they worked out their differences, then leaves. Nicole leans against the wall and says "you don't know the half of it". She says it's not the Bishop who did do this; it was God because he got tired of her impure thoughts under his roof. She talks to God about how she doesn't deserve anything, but it's hard not to show her feelings about Eric. She begs God not let Eric leave. Suddenly Eric comes back in; says the Monsignor called, it was a mistake; the transfer papers were meant for someone else; he'll just be gone for the conference, then he'll be back. Nicole happily asks if he's sure.
Kristen comes to John's hotel room with a small box; says she found it at the DiMansion; it's full of pictures of John and Kristen together, from back in the day. Kristen looks at the pictures, shows them to John. Says she thought they were happy and in love, but it was an illusion; she knows that now because she knows what "real love" is. John says she doesn't love Brady, she's just using him. She laughs; tells him to enjoy his trip down memory lane (looking at the pictures) and goes to leave; she stops, makes fun of his 90's mullet (funny!) and closes the door.
John throws the pictures away, as one falls on the floor. He says there had to be a reason she brought the pictures to him and he's going to find out.
Kristen is in the square and hears two nurses (who are sitting at a table) talking about what happened with Daniel and Jennifer at the hospital. She's shocked and takes off (to see Jennifer; see below)
Chad certainly didn't fit in with that crowd, lol.
Can't wait to see the funny scenes with Abby, Chad and Cameron!
