At the Horton House, JJ calls Kyle (who's with Paige), tells him he has a thank you from "his brother." Kyle puts him off because he's busy. Agent Watts tells him to play it cool, the less he interacts with Kyle before training, the better. Jennifer arrives, wonders what's going on; Watts leaves, and Jenn is worried but proud of JJ. Wants to make sure he's really thought about the risks involved, after she assures him that she's not concerned about what others think, only his safety. She is proud of what he's trying to do, etc etc. One rule: No drugs in this house.
Meanwhile, Kyle and Paige are on their date, talking about where to go, when Eve walks up. She explains that she's not on speaking terms with her mother, he offers to help get rid of her. He goes over to her, introduces himself, lays on the sweet talk about how Paige isn't ready, but Eve will always be Paige's mom, and she'll need her someday. Eve thanks him, and scoots away. Later, Paige marvels at Kyle's getting rid of Eve so quickly, he says sometimes being nice pays off. Later, they kiss awkwardly and say goodby as JJ sees them.
At Club TBD, Derrick arrives, confused by Will's text (to meet at "the Club"). Wonders if the guys are just hanging out, or if this is a double date. Derrick is concerned Paul still has feelings for Sonny.
In the park, replay of Will running in to Ben, flashing back to talking to her in the apartment when he learns Ben's about to call her. From Club TBD, Rafe calls Ben, begging him to come in because "Frank got in another car accident," ending his attempt to call Abigail. Will says he'll see Ben there; Ben leaves.
At Will & Sonny's, Abby makes it clear she didn't want to see Chad. Chad doesn't want to upset her. He can't trust many people, but he talked confidentially to Marlena, who urged him to be honest. He tells her he's in love with her. She becomes enraged, thinks this is another lie, as he pours his heart out about how he screwed things up. No one has ever hurt her this way, even worse than Sami; they rehash the Sami/EJ/Chad revenge. She remembers what he said in the Garden; he explains that he heard her tell Ben she loved him. She realises he was jealous, tells him to get out. He won't leave until she hears him out; she goes to leave, he jumps and slams the door. Won't let her leave; what happened between them in the Garden & later was amazing, he watched her the next morning, thought she was perfect. He messed up, and would do anything to make it up to her. Before he could act on how he felt, Stefano came back to town, he was worried about the effect it would have on her, and Stefano. Talks about Kristen and EJ, how things turned out for them, how he was becoming more of a DiMera, and how, when he heard her tell Ben she loved him, that he realised she deserved a "good guy" who wouldn't hurt her, like Ben. He can't protect her from his family, Stefano. Everything he said was to protect her, was lies. She asks if that's true, what's changed? He says he couldn't do it, he can't help himself, has never loved anyone the way he's loved her. He hopes she feels the same about him.
At Daniel & Nicole's, replay of Nicole tearily asking if she's forgiven, or if she & Daniel are over. He is silent. She turns to leave, he takes her hand firmly, "Don't...you dare." He won't let her walk out of his life, wants her to answer a question. Flashes back to Serena's recording, goes in a circle, why didn't you tell me. He believes her, understands how it happened, and why he didn't want to tell her. She's told him everything...what more could he ask for? Reaffirms he loves her. Don't walk out that door, don't take off the ring. Kiss. Strip, fall on couch. Kinda graphic couch boink. (Avert your eyes.) Later, they're sentimental, remember Parker, scramble to get their clothes.
At Edge of the Square, Ben texts Abby to tell her he's working late. Will arrives, sits with Paul, who mentions that he's glad they're all trying to be friends. Derrick and Sonny arrive, Will sees his copy editor, says he's going to go say hi; Sonny and Paul go to get drinks as Will exchanges a look with Derrick. Later, they're joking, talking, laughing, Rafe comes over to check on things, mentions he has a gift for Ari. Derrick is brought up to speed, talks about how remarkable Will & Sonny are. Derrick's not ready for that, they weren't either, etc. Talk about changing the cologne name to Narita, Paul thinks Will should get royalties, hopes it sells, etc. Derrick likes the name, would buy it. Paul would be "honoured" if Derrick bought his cologne. Sonny looks uncomfortable. Later, Derrick is marvelling that Ari has "nieces and a nephew" that are older than she is. Wild, Will agrees. Derrick was born in Salem, was disowned by his parents when he came out. He hasn't talked to them in over a year. Has no family, basically. Paul says he does, holds his hand, as Will watches Sonny looking a bit forlorn. Meanwhile, two guys at the bar shake their heads.
Also at Edge of the Square, behind the bar, Rafe is talking to Tim (his FBI friend) about Weston when Ben walks up, Frank's here, may he go? Rafe excuses him awkwardly. Rafe goes back to talking to Tim, asking about the case in Florida (the death of that witness in prison).
At Club TBD, Eve is having coffee, Jennifer enters. They have an awkward glance, move apart, Jenn goes to the counter, Eve rubs it in about Paige being over JJ, Kyle is so great, etc. Jennifer and Eve bicker. (The usual stuff.) Jennifer leaves, Eve hurls insults, vows to find a way to get back at her.
Later, at Daniel & Nicole's, Daniel says good-by to the invisible Maggie, goes inside, where Parker enthuses about seeing a movie with "Gramma Maggie and Grampa Victor." Nicole cracks a joke, Parker wants to do it again. Daniel says they will have fun, tomorrow, tries to put the sleepy Parker to bed, tells him a story.
In the park, Ben calls Abby, tells her he's on the way home, he loves her. Looks pensively at his phone, assures himself she's at work, then wonders, "What the h- are you doing there?"
At Edge of the Square, Sonny laments that Will knows everyone in town, Derrick goes to rescue Will from another hello session. Sonny and Paul talk about Derrick, Sonny asks if Paul & Derrick are just friends. Aside, Derrick and Will talk about the "story about [Derrick]'s parents and how it worked." Will thinks their plan is going well. Back at the table, the two head-shakers lament that Paul is hanging with (gay slur), which is what he is.
In the Square, JJ approaches Kyle to make their exchange (covered in a magasine), Kyle wonders if JJ saw him with Paige. "Your problem, not mine," JJ says, claiming Paige is high-maintenance. Maybe tomorrow they'll do more business.
At Will & Sonny's, Chad knows Abby and Ben are good, but it's not what they have. They can't deny it; he caresses her face. Outside, Ben has tracked her to the apartment, wonders what she's doing there.
Meanwhile, Kyle and Paige are on their date, talking about where to go, when Eve walks up. She explains that she's not on speaking terms with her mother, he offers to help get rid of her.
