At the Kmansion, Deimos is playing his piano. Kate enters, stunned; he needles her about their 'marriage' and Nicole's alleged murdering of him. She claims she's thrilled he's back, and had only taken what he promised her. She hugs him and we get some furtive glances. Kate wants to know where Deimos was, claims she was mourning; Deimos calls her out on her attempt to murder him. Kate deflects, that was just a misunderstanding, and claims that she did nothing Deimos wouldn't have done if he'd been in the same position. Kate feels Deimos should be admiring her for her actions, a woman after his own heart. Deimos claims he's had a change of same, points out that Kate didn't perform due diligence, struck too soon. She claims she was heartbroken, he calls her out on stealing the ring, goes to rip up the marriage licence. Kate screams, "No!" She suggests they make the marriage real, she still wants to be the power couple they spoke about. Deimos has enough power, is no longer interested. His answer is a firm NO. Kate suspects that this is because of Nicole, who is never to be trusted. (She even mentions that Nicole married her son for a bunch of money.) Kate, however, posits she CAN be trusted, because her cards are on the table. She asks him to take her to Vegas and carry out their plan.
At the DiMansion, André enters and Chad is glad he's there. Chad apologises for accusing André without proof, André accepts the apology, but needles him about how Abby abandoned him. André tells Chad Abby may never return, Chad should focus on his son. Chad invites him to sit, asks about the time André spent with Abby (when she gave him the letter). André claims Abby was scared at first, perhaps of him, then drew strength, perhaps from him. André knows it's difficult to lose someone close, someone who was thought to be dependable. Chad thinks André is talking about Chad's betrayal, André deflects. André suspects that Chad is offering an olive branch in order to trick/trap him, perhaps he suspects André is responsible for Abby's disappearance. Chad doesn't think André is smart enough to trick Abby, André is insulted and relieved. Chad offers "anything" André wants if he helps him find Abby. Can Chad count on him? André would like to help, but would Chad accept any information André brings, even if it's not to his liking? He gets reassurances from Chad that André can have anything [Chad] has if he brings Abby home, not including the property he's already been promised. They agree they can trust each other as much as the other can trust him. André departs; Chad makes a call and has him followed, as he has a vision of Stefano. Vision-Quest-Stefano says he is going to be the voice of rrrreason, and that Chad needs to accept that Abby's gone. Chad reveals to Vision-Quest Stefano that he doesn't trust André, but he's smarter than André, and will eventually expose him if he's holding Abby. Vision-Quest Stefano purports that post-psych-ward Abby will be a lousy mom.
In the Square, Jennifer happens upon a pensive Teen Ciara, who was checking out Salem U classes for the fall. Ciara suspects that Jenn's freaked out about Abigail; Jen wants to know about Chad and what he's doing with Abigail. Ciara says, "Chad's not hiding her, Aunt Jen." She defends Chad, who is heartbroken; Ciara is resolute in her ability to read Chad, she'd know if he were hiding Abby. Ciara gets defensive, Jenn questions her closeness to Chad, possible feelings, etc. Teen Ciara says that, like Jennifer, Chad just wants Abby home. She stalks off.
Ciara goes to the DiMansion, tells Chad about Jennifer's accusations. Chad is only focused on finding Abby before she gets hurt; Ciara asks if Chad talked to André. "We're best buds," Chad jokes, but he's not sure whether or not André is hiding Abby. Chad admits that Ciara's the only one he can trust, and that sometimes he has Visions of Stefano which show him another way of doing things. Ciara admits that she did the same while Bo was missing. They talk about Stefano and Chad's relationship (ed. note: ICK). He admits that Vision-Quest Stefano pointed out that Abby may never get better. Teen Ciara thinks Abby ran away because she was scared of not getting better for awhile, and putting Thomas/Chad through that. Chad plans to use one of Stefano's old psychiatrists to "do anything" to fix Abby, which will apparently be done in a secure, newly-built room in the tunnels. Ciara posits Abby doesn't want to be found. She suggests a walk, or some chess, and instead they go out with Thomas for ice cream. Before they leave, Chad looks at a picture of him & Abby on their wedding day (actually pictured with Kate Mansi/Abby, it appears). Ciara comes in with Thomas, who's asleep. Chad decides not to go, doesn't want to miss a call. He wants to be here, waiting for his wife, when the call comes in, not "eating ice cream like a child." Ciara leaves; Chad is apologetic, but she's gone.
At the Kmansion, Deimos and Kate work out the terms of their plan, which includes separate bedrooms. They plan to leave tomorrow; Kate is giddy but Deimos lied to her, he does not plan to marry her. He is vengeful over what she did to Nicole, pretending to be interested in her was the easiest way to get her to pack. Deimos would rather be a "fool" than someone who holds a grudge; Kate thinks Deimos isn't the pope, he'd have done the same. Deimos says going after Nicole is going after him, and he'll shred her if she tries it again. Deimos will tell the cops about Kate's actions unless she leaves; Kate claims this is the biggest mistake of his life.
At the Pub, Jennifer laments Abby's escape to Caroline. Caroline suspects Ben, JJ has confirmed that Ben is locked up. Caroline suspects Abby knows what she's doing, wasn't confused in her letter, seemed to have a plan. Have faith, Caroline tells her.
Somewhere (hotel room?), André reads about a plane going down and killing all the crew and passengers. This makes him happy. Meanwhile, Kate calls someone, needs to meet in the morning to settle the score. Back at his hotel, André makes a call, needs help with a plan, will email details in the morning. He listens to opera and looks at a bedside picture of Stefano.
Chad comes upon Ciara, apologising for not returning her support of him, for blowing up, etc. Ciara says it's not a big deal; Chad's glad, because he can't lose her now. Ciara is the sanity in the house now. Ciara promises Chad won't lose her, places her hand over his on his leg. Jennifer sees this and her eyes get large.
