Steve enters the Johnson home under cover of night. Kayla's sleeping on the couch, and is awakened as Steve knocks something over in the dark. She wants to know what happened. He learns she was trapped in a room in a building on the East side, and tells her the baby died in Jakarta of pneumonia. He says it's over, they can put it behind them. Kayla spots something in Steve's eyes, knows he's holding back something. She doesn't want any secrets, he vows to protect her. Kayla asks point black if Ava was with Steve when he learned about the "baby." Steve fesses up, Kayla knows Ava'll be back, decides to call Roman so Ava can be arrested. Steve is confident that Ava has what she wants, won't be back. (What a dork.) Kayla's skeptical but considers it. Steve relays how mad he was when Ava told him she'd imprisoned Kayla, how he almost killed Ava, but had to keep her alive to protect Kayla. Kayla realised while captive how much time was wasted, thinks maybe some good came out of Ava's return. Steve is adamant that no good came out of it, hates Ava for what she tried to do, etc. He wishes they'd sent Ava out of Salem immediately. Kayla wants to focus on them being together, Steve keeps going on about how Ava played them, including the leukemia scam. Kayla remarks that Ava's insane; Steve admits to mourning the possible loss of his possible child. They get an unbelievable text from Ava (see below). Joe comes in, is mad, Kayla gets a call, steps out. Steve and Joe argue in a whisper about what Joe saw, Kayla enters, knows Steve did what he had to do to save her life. Joe is still mad, needs a sandwich.
Ava lies on a bed and has a flashback.to the blackmail sex, Steve dumping her, learning "their" "child" was dead. Alone, she cries for Steve. (Now this is where her having a friend to talk to would come in handy.) She trashes the room. She cries a lot, then later, texts Steve goodbye, tell Kayla and Joey I'm sorry, you won't see me again, etc. (See above.) In Ava's hotel room, she puts on lipstick and books a one-way flight to Salem, USA.
At the penthouse, John is looking through the chest he got at Maude's, lamenting that he didn't get the chance to know Tim Robicheaux (I'm guessing at the spelling but that's how it's pronounced). They talk about the horror of Maude selling John, etc. He talks about the kind of man Tim was (gleaned from press clippings in the box). He wonders what life would have been like if he'd been raised by Tim & Maude. Marlena thinks he'd be the same fine man if he'd been raised by his bio parents, but points out they might not have met. Now John wouldn't change a thing, but thinks that fate would have brought them together, no matter what his last name was. Marlena looks at a picture of Tim, tells John he resembles him. A bit later, John is re-resolved to stop the folks who did this to him, Marlena is worried, won't let him take on the battle. They go back and forth about whether or not he should do this; Marlena is worried, John is resolved.
At the Brady home, repeat of Chase's backpack bursting into flames as the phone André planted rings. André is listening to a symphony (the same one Bugs Bunny used to play) as he watches on his webcam; Chase, Ciara, and Hope come downstairs, and Chase pulls up a rug to put out the fire. Hope tells Chase to back up, Ciara calls 911, Hope uses an extinguisher on the fire. (Ciara says their address is 526 Scuttlehole Road.) A bit later, she has put out the fire, paramedics are on their way. They speculate on the fire's start. The fire inspector is looking things over, tells Hope she needs to stay somewhere else tonight. Hope calls Jen, who gives permission for the trio to crash at the Horton place. Hope tells Jen things are OK, could have been worse, as she side-eyes Chase.
At the police station, Rafe almost makes a phone call to Hope, but doesn't. (Fun fact: Hope's number is 049-157-0156.)
At Jen's, she is sipping a warm drink when the doorbell rings. She hides her pills, answers the door. The trio exchanges thanks, she refuses, etc., then Hope tells her about the fire. The kids go upstairs, and the cuzzes talk about how rough it's been for Jen since the accident (she hasn't slept a full night, looks groggy). They talk briefly about Daniel, Hope thinks maybe she should have gone to Julie's. Jen has big plans, wants to make breakfast, no problem. Hope plans to return to the house, check things out, find out about the fire. Jen tries to talk her out of it, but loses; outside, Hope calls Rafe, tells him she thinks André's made his first move. Back inside, Jen is checking on the kids, who are both too wired to sleep. Chase tries to act casual, Ciara won't look at him, he suspects it's because she thinks he started the fire. She doesn't, although she considered it, because of Aiden's attempted murder of Hope, Chase's throwing matches at the blood stains, etc. Ciara thinks that perhaps Chase might have started the fire, to look brave by stopping it. Chase thinks Ciara thinks he's out of his mind. Ciara doesn't, but Chase still continues his fit, leaves, telling them he doesn't need them, go to hell. After he leaves, Ciara hollers after him, nobody wants you here.
At Hope's, Hope wants Shawn to investigate, Rafe wants this not to be official, vows to protect her, Hope wants to do something to stop Andre. Rafe 86s the idea of icing André, they discuss how to move forward, how André could have gotten someone to rig the fire. Hope has a flash, finds the webcam. (Meanwhile André is laughing and adding his own dialogue as he watches Rafe and Hope.) Later, Hope has gone to the DiMansion, Harold claims that André is gone, Rafe confirms this (saying it looks like André left in a hurry).

And gee, I'm so glad that Hope could put her own messed up life aside for 2 seconds to ask her cousin how she's doing after the accident. Hey, it's only been 6 weeks.....
