At the hospital/nurses' station, Kate threatens Kayla with carnage if the DNA test is tampered with. (Kayla remarks that she had to break up a fight between André and Vivian.) Kayla says that today is a holiday, and they're busy; the DiMera DNA test is not a priority. Kate threatens to cut funding unless the test is expedited. Kayla will see what she can do.
At the Commissioner's office, Rafe has stopped by on his day off to see Hope. She muses that with Stefan O in town, their business might pick up. They talk about Ciara, whose last bender was after her rape by Chase. Hope worries that her daughter won't open up to her, Rafe flashes back to a convo with Ciara. Hope mentions how much Ciara used to look up to Rafe, what changed? Hope takes a call, Rafe has two flashbacks (the bush confession and Ciara at the party). Later, Hope has pinpointed the problem to Rafe's taking the bike, plans to leave to see Ciara, but Rafe stops her. He thinks he knows what Ciara has against him. Kate enters. (See below.)
In his hospital room, Theo talks with Abe about Stefan O, for whom Theo will be working, and how Theo told a lie. Theo, the boy who would not say is was 7:30 at 7:29, told Abe it was his idea to break into the warehouse, in order to cover for Kate. Theo admits what he did, was not happy about it, but the DiMeras, including Kate, are his family. Please don't turn her in. Abe says the case is closed, but Theo's done working for the DiMeras. He has convinced André and Kate to (more or less) fire him. Theo disagrees. Claire enters, asks if she should come back later. Theo says no, Abe says yes. Claire enters, learns that Theo was fired from DiMera at Abe's behest. Abe concedes that Theo can make his own decision when he is released. Kayla comes in with a negative expression. She explains that his recovery/walking will be more complicated than they originally thought; it is not just atrophy from the coma. But there is an experimental trial in South Africa. He could be there up to a year. Kayla leaves so Theo and Abe can talk, Theo asks Claire to stay. Theo worries about being so far from his friends and family, worried that it will hamper his recovery. Abe has made the decision for him, but Theo is reluctant to accept it. Theo doesn't want to leave Claire. Claire will go with him. They cry together.
Stefan O tells Chad and Abby that he's moving in with his mother to the DiMansion. Stefan O has done his homework, bought the bank that gave Chad a line of credit when Sami stole money from them. If Stefan O calls it in, Chad's out; but he won't if he's allowed to live in Chad's home. He just wants to get to know his family. Chad says that's too much to ask. Back and forth, and back and forth, and back and forth again about Stefan O wanting in the family/company, Chad stalwart in his refusal. Chad accuses Stefan O of being the saboteur, Stefan O says he isn't. Later Chad makes a call to off-screen Belle, wants her to look into Sam's holding company (CFR Enterprises). (Sam is Stefan's previous name.)
At Teen Loft, Ciara wakes up, hungover. Claire purposefully makes a lot of noise while getting ready to go to the hospital. They have a mature conversation. Tripp hangs back, watching from the shadows. More back and forth between the aunt/niece dyad; Claire says she loves Theo, he's her everything (cue reaction shot from Tripp) and slams the door. Later, Ciara is complaining to Tripp about Claire, and then she talks about how Rafe cheated on Hope with "his skanky ex-wife." Tripp questions Ciara's intentions, and tries to talk her down by relaying his failed attempt at revenge. He suspects that Ciara wants to hurt Hope.
At Hope's office, Kate wants Vivian arrested, but there are no outstanding warrants on Vivian. Back and forth. Kate leaves, making her usual threats. Hope wants to know what Rafe was about to tell her, then gets a call from Trask, has to leave.
Kate comes to the Nurses Station, demands Kayla give her the results. They are ready, Kayla reports, you saved me a trip to André. As she hands the envelope over, she remarks Kate hasn't asked about Theo.
Rafe goes to the Teen Loft, wants to know what Ciara had to say to Hope.
At DiMansion, Stefan O likes Chad and Abby's room (he scoped out rooms apparently). Chad makes more threats. Kate comes in with the unopened test results.
