Kind of jumpy today - some scenes take forever, others are moving about. Hopefully this makes sense.
Melanie tells Daniel she & Brady are dating. Our hero initially thinks this is a joke due to it absurdity [TELL US ABOUT IT], but then realises she's serious. Daniel asks when this happened; lots of babbling from Melanie. Daniel says Brady is like a brother to him, and is worried about what Brady went through while Melanie is in Europe. She knows she's better than Jeannie T and Kristen; he is worried about Brady's sobriety, as well as the age difference. Melanie claims she is older than her age, due to her horrible upbringing. [She's not talking like a toddler here, but it's still hard to buy.] He asks if she loves Brady; she doesn't know, they just want to explore it.
Brady tells Jeannie Theresa good riddance, and as he's leaving, she beings to hyperventilate. He tries to help her. She reports she saw something, but can't explain what, after Eve walks over to help out. After Eve shoos Brady away, she tries to talk to Jeannie T, who of course spits vitriol at her full force. They start to talk about Paige, Jeannie T gloats about how Paige is hung up on JJ. Eve leaves; Jeannie T tries to figure out what spooked her, before Clint comes over and asks her what's going on.
JJ pushes Cole away from Paige, demanding to know what he's doing by her. Cole says he was just talking to her, chill; JJ punches him. Paige gets angry, is not interested in JJ defending her. They fight about Cole, the drugs, and Bev; Paige tells JJ off [if she hadn't been moaning about JJ yesterday, this would be compelling], telling him to worry about the girl he hooked up with. (Lots of extras watching the fight - nice touch.) Paige tells JJ to leave; Cole apologises, he didn't want to make trouble for Paige & her boyfriend. Paige corrects him.
Ben reports to Abby that T is worried about layoffs at Club TBD due to the new club. [EYE ROLL] Abby thinks Ben is safe since Jordan's dating Chad, Ben is not so sure; he also swears off further cash from Clyde. [Poor old Ben, might have to take a loan like the rest of us.] They smooch.
Chad watches Jordan & Rafe kiss, there's mutual passion for a second. Chad storms out, tossing his flowers in the garbage; Jordan pushes Rafe away and reminds him that it's over between them. She's with Chad. Rafe tells her she's making a mistake. She corrects him, nothing Chad could do to her could hurt her like what Rafe did.
John and Abe talk (at Club TBD, of course) about increasing police presence thanks to increased drug violence on the docks. Abe wonders if Marlena's OK with John rejoining the force, John explains she encouraged him. Chad has arrived, watched Abby & Ben smooch, and Abby leave. Chad begins to talk about taking Abby's virginity again. [Can he get hit by a train, please?] He keeps on, finally saying that Abigail wasn't as good as Jordan in bed. Ben punches him, and leaps across the counter to continue pummelling him.
Earlier, Daniel had gone to the Kmansion to tell Brady what's what. He won't stand in their way, but he doesn't want to see his daughter hurt.
Sadly, John & Abe stop Ben's assault on Chad before he has the opportunity to kill him.
Maggie and Melanie talk about her talking with Daniel about Brady. Melanie's back to the baby act as she thinks Brady should get credit for his "good behaviour," rather than follow conventional recovery wisdom and wait a year. Brady is behind Maggie, Daniel, Parker, and Carly on Melanie's list, and she has no intention of hurting him, or the impossible task of disappointing Maggie.
Clint and Jeannie T are strolling through the square, Anne runs up to tell her that she's going to be in trouble if she doesn't get back to work. Anne believes that Jeannie T should be in the mental hospital, for spending more than two minutes with Clint. Back at work, Anne wants to know how Jeannie T could stoop as low as a guy like Clint. He's perfect for her, right now, Jeannie states, Anne wants to know what he does, hopes he doesn't ask to borrow money. The fact that he's different from Brady is perfect for Jeannie T. There's no way he can be worse than Brady, Jeannie T feels, over Anne's objections; meanwhile, Clint lurks in the park, reporting to someone on the phone about making contact with Donovan.
Cole is surprised that JJ and Paige broke up, but not that JJ hooked up with someone else. Lurking behind a crowd, JJ calls EVE and demands to see her, at his house. Meanwhile Cole relays to Paige how he was with Bev, until JJ intervened, even though he didn't really want her. Paige doesn't want to hear this. Cole apologises, admits he was trying to stall from his apology for planting drugs on her (part of the rehab process), and laments not fitting in anywhere anymore. They talk about him making new friends, and an app that makes music from text (or speech). He talks into it, then plays her the music. They laugh. A bit later, he apologises for judging her, for thinking he knew about her.
At the Horton House, Eve has arrived, according to JJ it took a long time. Eve informs him about Paige's ongoing search and chat with Jeannie T, while JJ is freaked about Paige talking with Cole, demanding that she stop them. Eve tells him to calm down, laying her hand on his chest, then pausing. Mercifully, she pulls away, and tries to get out of there. JJ grabs her arm, tells her that Cole is worse news than he is. A dealer, user, fresh out of rehab, but it won't last; he tells Eve about Cole planting drugs on Paige, which Eve was never told. JJ begs Eve to be the mother that Eve says Paige deserves.
At the hospital, Chad is nursing his boo-boos when a concerned Jordan and Abby rush over to him. Jordan instantly buys Chad's baloney, while Abby is curious what Chad said to set Ben off. Abe asks him if he wants to press charges; he pauses, and decides to press charges over Jordan's objections.
At the Club, John has called Rafe. Ben refuses to fess up to what Chad said, John wants to know what Rafe knows. Rafe tells Ben that he needs to find a better way to deal with Chad pressing his buttons, asks if Chad is pressing charges. Of course he is, Ben replies. John arrests Ben, even though he's not thrilled about it.
At the Kmansion, Melanie and Brady talk about Daniel. Meanwhile at Daniel's, Brady and Maggie talk about Brady, with whom he's a little angry, although he's mostly angry at himself. He has failed to protect her in a [harebrained] attempt to make up for missing her youth. Maggie tells him that at some point, you have to let your children make their own mistakes. They hug. [GAG ME with a rotten egg.] Back at the Kmansion, Brady tells Melanie he never thought he'd be happy again, but seeing her makes him happy. They agree to go on a date.
And we end on a happy note. Eve doesn't like JJ, but they both care about Paige; he reiterates the need for her to intervene with Cole/Paige. Don't worry, she says, if he's anything like you, I can handle him. JJ retorts, Will you have sex with him, too? She tries to slap him; he grabs her arm, and they look at each other lustily. [Get out your sick bags for Friday, folks.]
