Replay of Shawn and Belle at the bar. He offers to take her home, says she needs to be in good shape for court tomorrow. At the door, fumbling with the keys, and then kiss. They head inside. She immediately starts kissing him again but he stops her. He says she’s been drinking and not thinking straight. They sit and talk. Belle goes on about how embarrassed she is and talks about all her failures in life, motherhood, being a daughter, a wife. She says she’s checked every box of failure. She’s drunkenly laughing as she’s saying all this while Shawn seems really uncomfortable. She soon turns weepy and apologetic saying she hurt him and their daughter so much. How could she be so stupid? He doesn’t really know what to say and basically just sits there listening. She realizes how sad and cliché it is to sit here now drunkenly making out with her ex-husband and wonders what he must think of her. He tries to cheer her up saying he cares about her. He apologizes for his part in all this and how he has treated her at times. He wishes they had taken the time to give their marriage another shot before things got too far gone. They talk of wishing they could hit the rewind button. He apologizes for calling her a bad mother. It’s not true. She’s given him the greatest gift with Claire and she will always bond them. Belle’s thankful for his kind words but whatever she’s done to mess things up with Claire is on her. He says Claire is a teen and is acting out but Belle wants the blame. She says she just needs for the two of them to work together when it comes to their daughter. Soon they start kissing. She says she’s sober now and knows exactly what she’s doing. He’s worried they’ll both regret this come morning but she promises she won’t. This is the closest she’s felt to him in a very long time. They continue kissing, more passionately now. They take it to the bedroom where they fall onto the bed in each other’s arms.
Replay of Rafe witnessing Aiden and Hope kissing. Dejected, Rafe takes off before seeing Hope push Aiden away. She says, “what do you think you’re doing?” He apologizes, says he’s just missed her so much. Hope says he should have never came back. She and her daughter have been through hell. He realizes that. He says she’s the most important person in his life but he has to ask, is she in love with Rafe? Not that it’s any of his business but she admits that she and Rafe are involved. By the look on her face he guesses it’s pretty serious. Aiden says it’s a familiar position for him, except instead of Bo, it’s Rafe who has her heart. He hopes Rafe loves her and treats her the way she deserves to be. He realizes trying to get her back is a mistake and he’s sorry for everything that’s happened. He goes to leave but she stops him. She tells him it’s over between them and yes, she is falling in love with Rafe. He says he needs to refocus his attention on his son and to clear his name. This sets Hope off saying he raped Ciara. Aiden stammers saying he didn’t mean to sound insensitive but he’s going to do everything he can to help his son. She emotionally begs him, for Ciara’s sake, let justice be served. Chase belongs in jail. They go back and forth. He mentions seeing Ciara earlier. She tells him to stay away from her daughter. He doesn’t want to hurt her or her daughter but is just trying to make sense of things. He wishes her the best with Rafe and hops she’s happy. Hope takes off.
Rafe heads to the bar and orders up a bourbon. He’s drinking pretty good when Roman pops up wondering how hung over his detective is going to be in the morning. Rafe says he’ll stop drinking soon. He starts going off about Aiden and how after everything Hope has been through, he shows back up, and what, they’re just supposed to pick up where they left off? Roman says it’s a lot to take in and offers to listen to him vent. Rafe says he doesn’t want to vent but starts blabbering about this and that, saying he doesn’t care about the rules or fraternization or whatever. He and Hope are involved so he better get used to it. Cue semi-shocked look on Roman’s face. Roman says he’s in their corner. Rafe is sorry for going off. Roman tells him he’s fighting the wrong fight here. Go fight for Hope and don’t let Aiden get the upper hand. Rafe continues railing on Aiden how he’s playing the victim and using that to play on Hope’s affections. Again, Roman says quit drinking and go make the case to Hope.
Aiden returns to his room at the Martin house with a bottle of booze. He apparently decides against it, pulls out a picture of him and Hope and looks at it.
Drunk Rafe shows up at Hope’s door telling her he loves her and he will not lose her no matter what Aiden says or does. They are standing in the middle of the living room kissing passionately.
Over at K-mansion, replay of Kate walking in to see Nicole in a robe asking what she is doing there. They spar back and forth as Deimos listens in outside the door. Kate starts calling for Deimos. Nicole wonders if he was even expecting Kate’s return. Kate says she knows her agenda and it’s as brazenly naked as she is under that robe and it’s not going to work. Speaking of which, Nicole calls out Kate on what her agenda is. Nicole accuses Kate of trying to get Victor’s fortune to which Kate scoffs so Nicole sarcastically says Kate must just be in it for love then. Deimos walks in giving Nicole her clothes which she takes and leaves to go change. Kate tells Deimos she warned him not to cross her or else it will explode in his face. He calmly tells her she needs to get ahold of herself. She’s assuming things that aren’t there. She says the robe, the brandy, and (she gets close to him and sniffs) the scent of perfume that isn’t mine. She slaps him across the face. He warns her about not crossing him. She throws it back in his face that he’s the one who’s crossed a line here. She left here a few hours ago ready to marry him and she comes home to find him with Nicole? He says did it ever occur to you that maybe I’m playing Nicole, trying to find out what she’s up to? He says he doesn’t apologize for anything to anyone. She says neither do I. Nicole returns fully dressed. Kate storms out saying she can have him, they can kill each other for all she cares. Nicole guesses that the engagement is off. She apologizes for any friction she caused between him and her highness. Deimos isn’t too concerned. He starts eating her face, I mean kissing her, and wants to take her upstairs. She plays it cool saying unlike Kate, she wants a commitment before she commits. She leaves. Back inside, in a dark house, Deimos sits at the piano with a glass of brandy. He plays Moonlight Sonata. Meanwhile at the bar, Kate bumps into Roman, telling him to buzz off and sits down ordering a double martini extra dirty. Over in the square, Nicole leaves a message for Victor saying Deimos is right where she wants him, no need for Justin or whoever else to go through with their own plan.
