40 minutes, pace has moved down to snail level again.
DiMansion, front door - There's snow on the ground. Stefan mumbles about Harris waking up, drops his keys, overreacts. Clyde (in his prison cell) calls him to yell at him. Clyde knows Stefan is at home. Clyde tells him Harris is awake. Stefan thinks he's in the clear since Harris can't remember anything. Clyde reminds him the job must be finished.
Tripp and Ava's Apartment - Steve and Ava worry about Tripp. Steve wants to call the Shins. Ava isn't sure what to say, gets a surprising text. They watch the Goldman video (which appears on the screen in the corner the way they show texts, nice touch). Standard hostage, Tripp reads from the paper, this is a warning, no cops, etc. Steve watches the video again to get clues. Later, he is going to watch the video again.
Brewery Tank (establishing shot) - Tripp and Wendy stretch. They worry about how Ava will react to the video Goldman forced them to record. They've run out of topics for conversation. Tripp suggests dinner in Paris. No, he's not being wry; they sit on the stools and eat the rations while using French phrases. Wendy keeps her eyes closed as Tripp walks her through using imagination. (Lucky us, we get to see them sitting in the tank, not even a fantasy sequence with a cheesy Eiffel Tower backdrop.) This goes on for 21 scenes.
Peterson Apartment - Sloan comes in, calling for Eric (she's holding a package) and uses words to express surprise. The apartment is made up for a date. (Did they switch apartments? It looks different.) This is a Valentine's Day surprise from Eric to Sloan. I guess the intent is romantic something-or-other. Eric got Lillian, Sloan's assistant, to help by clearing her calendar and then Eric faked an emergency. Jude is with Marlena. Smooch, smooch. He's making up for passing out on the couch. Smooch, kiss. Eric gives her lingerie back to her and she goes to change, comes back out in her red lingerie, and they smooch and snoodle on the way to the bed (which is just feet from the couch).
Hospital (daytime establishing shot), Paulina's room - Abe is at Paulina's bedside. Chanel comes in. Paulina was resting her eyes. Chanel has a surprise - Lani and Eli! Paulina is overjoyed. The twins are with Doug/Julie/Thomas/Charlotte. Lani and Chanel talk about Chanel's marriage. Paulina recaps her medical woes. Lani and Eli arrived "earlier today". Abe shuffles the kids out of the room because Paulina was getting overwhelmed. Abe loves Paulina, Paulina feels lucky her girls are here and that Abe is by her side even with what he's facing.
Hospital waiting area - Eli, Lani, and Chanel talk about how serious the heart attack was and how Paulina needs a new heart. They're going to take turns staying with her and try to give Abe a break. They hug.
Paulina's Hospital Room - Chanel comes in, Lani and Eli are checking in with Julie to make sure "the twins" haven't destroyed "the house" (no word on what house). She brought ice chips. Paulina wants to cook. Eli comes in, he'll do the cooking. Paulina feels her heart is getting stronger from all the love.
DiMansion Stoop/Clyde's Cell - Clyde tells Stefan that a package will arrive. Stefan is to inject it into Harris's IV, which will cause an apparent heart attack. Later, he's drinking inside when the package arrives. He takes it into the Stefano-portrait room and opens it. (Apparently we should not remember that his brother is the DA and lives in the same house.) He then recaps the plan for anyone who might be around and fondles the murder weapon.
Peterson Apartment - Afterglow. Sloan wants a promise they won't go too long between "us time" incidents again. Eric thinks Marlena will babysit often. A phone call interrupts them. Nicole (offscreen) tells Eric that Holly's awake. Sloan remains stone faced as she says that's great. (It actually works for this scene.)
Hospital waiting area - Lani's getting coffee and Abe gives her a hug. Lani is really worried about Paulina. Lani asks how Abe is doing? Although he's the best dad in the world (per Lani), he's still got no memory. Abe asks where Eli is? He's showing pictures of the twins to Paulina. Abe asks how long they'll stay? Lani doesn't know; they want to stay in Salem, but Eli has a terrific job offer in DC. More hugs.
Tripp & Ava Apartment - Ava worries about Tripp, who is such a good person. They are standing uncomfortably close as Steve vows to bring the kids home.
Brewery Tank - Fantasy time is over. Wendy worries they won't be rescued. Tripp knows they will be found. He promises they'll get out and they'll go to Paris.
Paulina's Hospital Room - Paulina is enjoying the pictures Eli is showing her on his phone. Chanel is there. Lani and Abe enter. There will be more pictures. Paulina chokes up, these precious moments mean so much to her. Chanel vows they'll all get more time together. She loves her girls so much, they embrace. END
