Horton House - Someone creeps in through the unsecured French doors. Someone in a ski mask torches the Horton Living room. Chad and Julie come down the stares, mouths agape. (The smoke detector is going off before they come down.) Chad moseys around with a phone as Julie goes upstairs.
Paulina's Townhouse - Chanel comes over to do a makeover and a puzzle even though Paulina isn't in the mood. They have a few hours to eat some of the junk food before midnight. She also ordered pizza and brought movies. Paulina passes on "Get Out" because it involves surgery, she'll save "How Stella Got Her Groove Back" for after the surgery, so she picks "Bad Boys". She gets a call from Lani. Later, Chanel has also talked to Lani, gives the phone back to Paulina for a last goodbye before her time runs out. They wish Lani were here. Paulina says maybe they'll make it for the new wedding date. Chanel reacts but Paulina doesn't see it.
Rafe's Office - Jada has brought a bag of food and some cold drinks. They talk about how Goldman (the lady cop who shot Clyde's puppet) is doing. She's a tough cookie. They got a lot of product off the street and are aggravating Clyde. Later, they have eaten most of their dinner as they recap the investigation, including whether or not the victim fired his gun. They still need Harris's report. Where is Harris?
Room - Someone in a ski mask enters a room and shoots. A man groans, a woman screams. The ski mask character leaves, Kate follows to the doorway with a gun. She calls into the room, "Lucas, are you all right?" He is. Roman comes in with a gun. Both Kate and Lucas are OK and unshot. Kate shot but isn't sure she hit the masked one. Roman tells them to stay in the room and stay down. Later, he comes in and the place is clear. Kate scared off the shooter, saved Lucas's life. Later Kate explains she heard a noise and followed Lucas when he was downstairs for some food. Everyone's safe. They react to the sirens passing by.
Bistro - Wendy and Tripp joke about Stefan and Ava's nudity. The image is seared into Tripp's brain (like the image of him holding Kayla at knifepoint is for me). Ava talks about boundaries and never mentioning that again. Ava leaves. Stefan and the youngsters have uncomfortable stares, like someone forgot to say, "Cut." Later, they have spent minutes apparently standing in stony silence as they again talk about not talking about the incident.
Loading Dock - Ava goes out to the dock and sees Harris with a bullet wound. She is upset. Harris has a flashback to Friday's shooting. (Sorry, I can't link it for some reason.) Ava calls out for Tripp. Tripp arrives and orders Wendy to call 9-1-1. Stefan comes out. Tripp needs something to stop the bleeding. Ava tells Stefan to get some napkins from the laundry bag inside the Bistro. Stefan moves slowly as Ava yells for him to move. Harris has been shot in the chest and the left arm. Tripp says doctor words and asks for a first aid kit. Ava flashes back to his declaration of love and protection (which aired Feb. 7, 2024). Ava hopes he doesn't die. Sirens can be heard, although it sounds like they're still about 20 miles away on a country road.
Rock in front of a gel light (fire) - Doug, Julie, Thomas, and Charlotte are outside. Doug tells the kids they're safe. Thomas calls for "Daddy". Chad is not there. Julie goes to find him, Doug tells her not to.
Paulina's Townhouse - Junk food has been enjoyed and they've watched some of the movie. Paulina doesn't want to move her legs for her toenail-painting. Johnny calls, he's out shopping and Chanel thanks him for the DVDs (opportunity to plug Peacock streaming: Lost). Paulina thinks Johnny's planning a birthday surprise. Chanel says Johnny's good with surprises. Later, they're playing Go Fish, at which Chanel is a shark. Paulina beams about Chanel and Johnny. Paulina asks what Chanel likes about Johnny. Chanel starts listing off reasons, and more reasons, but without links to anything that matters. Paulina gets a call with an update about Harris's shooting. She wants to go handle it, Chanel tells her the deputy mayor (a man) can handle it.
Bistro Loading Dock - Rafe and Jada saunter onto the scene with some paramedics. For her part, Jada acts worried and surprised. Rafe seems nonplussed. Tripp updates the paramedics. (News flash: Harris is 50. Wait for next week when he celebrates his 40th Birthday.) Harris has no exit wounds. Jada and the uniforms leave, Rafe asks what happened. Jada comes back and Rafe has gotten word of another shooting at the Brady Pub.
Horton House - Chad is trying to extinguish the room-sized fire. Julie yells at him to get out, eventually wins him over.
It Really Looks like the Private Bushy Area by the Square - Doug worries about Julie while Thomas and Charlotte look at the gel light (fire). Thomas decides he'll find his daddy. Chad and Julie arrive, Thomas hugs Chad. Julie hugs Doug, who expresses relief.
Paulina's Townhouse - Paulina gets a call with an update about Harris's shooting. She wants to go handle it. Chanel says that's why she has the deputy mayor, let him handle it. Paulina worries about Harris. She wants to have some official discussions with Chanel, who won't hear of it. Chanel orders her mother not to die. Paulina vows to kick cancer in its posterior.
Pub Hallway - Kate can't reach Harris. She's mad that he promised Lucas would be safe. Jada arrives and they recap the shooting which took place in Harris's room. They won't let her into a tenant's room without permission; they enter the room and Jada learns that this is Lucas's safehouse. She's shocked since she lives down the hall and hadn't a clue. She updates them on Harris's shooting. Kate shot the intruder the second the door opened, they're not sure if she hit them or not. They figure out a way to keep Lucas out of sight of the uniforms while he is transferred to Kate and Roman's apartment.
Bistro Loading Dock - Tripp and the EMTs (lots of extras today, nice touch) continue to work on Harris. Rafe and Ava recap her finding him. She's clueless. Tripp calls for a defib as Harris has become unresponsive.
Private Area/Horton House Yard - Julie and Doug are embracing. She has a fire blanket and oxygen. Chad is with the kids, has a fire blanket and is holding an oxygen mask. An EMT asks if the family is safe, and about any pets. No pets. The EMT says they'll be transferred to the hospital soon, leaves. Julie yells after him, imploring that they must save the house. It's been the family home for generations, all of their history is there. Julie collapses onto the bench, embraces Doug.
Bistro Loading Dock - Harris continues to be unresponsive.
Paulina's Townhouse - Paulina is ready to go to bed but isn't sleepy. Chanel offers to sleep in the bed with her like when she was little. Chanel was a bed hog, but Paulina agrees. Paulina reminds her she's sticking around. They hug; Paulina has an over-the-shoulder one shot reaction of worry.
Bistro Loading Dock - Harris is stabilized. Nobody knows anything but they're sure going to find out. (Probably by standing around this same set for a few days, my guess.)
Kate and Roman's Apartment - Everyone worries about Lucas's safety. Lucas feels he won't be safe until Clyde is taken care of.
Private Yard Area - Julie laments the loss of half her life. Thomas worries about his cars and the pictures of mommy. Chad gets a call. A modulated voice says, "Maybe next time, you'll listen." END
