At the DiMansion, Chad stumbles into the study, groggy. Ciara is sitting at the chessboard. Chad hasn't slept. Ciara has something on her mind. Ciara talks of how depressed Chad is whenever he gets back from visiting Abigail, how he should be happy now, but isn't. Chad is sure that Abby will recover and come back. Later, they are playing chess, with Chad worried that he didn't do enough for Abby. Ciara posits that Abby feels she let Chad down, but that Chad did everything he could for her. Ciara wishes she had a love like Chad has for Abby. Chad tells her she's great with Thomas, and him. She says she cares for Thomas, and him. He breaks the skeevy moment by asking about her dating Theo, whom she likes but he's just not the guy for her. (Creep factor: 20000.) Thomas cries, Chad goes to check on him. Later, Ciara fantasises that she tells Chad she loves him, is mercifully pulled out of it when Chad enters the room, bidding Ciara to go get some sleep.
At the LA hospital, Steve, Kayla, and Jade are pacing. They've been waiting 22 minutes. Jade thinks they blame her for Joey's mess; Kayla goes to talk to a nurse. Jade frets that Joey got shot saving her; she'll never forgive herself if he doesn't make it. Kayla returns, updates that they are going to open Joey up to find the bullet. Kayla asks Jade to give them a moment, Jade starts to cry and moves to the side of the room (kind of a little window cubby; as she walks by, Steve touches her hand). Kayla is angry that Jade's making this about her, Steve worries about the blood loss. Kayla says the big thing is finding the bullet. Steve kicks himself for not getting the situation under control, cries that they can't lose him. Later, Kayla decides to go get a report. Steve is getting his composure back when Simone shows up, wondering how Joey is doing. Steve tells her she has a lot of nerve, that Joey's wound is on him for her indoctrination of those kids. Simone attempts to defend herself, Jade steps in and tells her off, orders her out of the room. Simone turns to Steve, wants to be told...Steve loses it, screams GET OUT. Simone leaves; Steve comforts Jade. Kayla comes back in, Joey's in the clear, only some minor damage to some muscles (no vital organs, nerves, etc. hit). He'll be in recovery soon. They tearfully hug. Steve directs Kayla's attention to Jade, who has moved from the window cubby to a chair, and is crying. Kayla hugs her.
At the Townhouse, John arrives and is glad to see Marlena. They hug. They recap the hostage situation and the shooting; they hope Joey pulls through. Later, he's talked with Paul on the phone, Paul's doing well. They make plans to meet tomorrow. John thanks Marlena for keeping an eye on Paul, is grateful Paul pulled through. Later, Marlena has gotten some wine as John laments no word from Steve. He wants to touch base with Brady and Belle, is going to call Belle at her office (she's still living there). He realises he hasn't asked her what's up. Marlena says she'll tell him after...then leads him to the bedroom. John does a cheer as he follows her. Later, John's about to sneak some Ice Cream, Marlena catches him, he claims he was going to share it. She calls him a lousy liar, they chuckle; it's a good thing she loves him so much. Enough to marry me again? John asks. He's serious, the Joey/Steve/Kayla situation made him rethink their love. She doesn't want to ruin a good thing; she's single, but not available. They've exchanged vows, even if it wasn't official. John reminds her that she promised if he could prove their issues were in the past, they would make it official. He wants it in writing that they'll spend the rest of their lives together. She writes "YES" on a legal pad, shows it off to him. They embrace, she gets a call. She expects it's Kayla, but it's not. The caller's words seem to worry her.
In the Kmansion, Nicole and Dario are trying to be quiet while Kate is pacing outside their door. Philip enters, shocking Kate. He wants to know the kind of mess she's gotten into. Kate puts on the show, talks about how she loved Deimos, married him in Vegas, was the first time in her life she had everything she wanted. But now, life goes on, asks him to be co-CEO of Titan. If she trusts him, tell the truth: Did you kill Deimos? She continues her sob story, Philip notices its holes (e.g., she dropped her phone exactly when the murder happened and then when she got it back they were both gone). She needs her family around her, he calls her out, won't be part of it. He pushes her to admit she killed Deimos for his money as Nicole and Dario listen intently. She shrieks for him to get out, laments her broken heart. He's not sure she has one; he tells her to enjoy the money. Philip leaves. Kate makes a call and tells someone to come to 13201 Glen Oaks Drive. Then she tells Nicole to come out. Kate could smell her perfume. Kate says Nicole had a lot of gall to try to frame her, Nicole was looking for evidence. Nicole jokes that Philip's more perceptive than she thought, even he didn't buy her b/s load. Nicole tries to play Kate, says that she thinks in Kate's own way, Kate loved Deimos. She 'admits' that she found Deimos charismatic, etc. Nicole pleads, one woman to another, tell Roman she made a mistake. Don't ruin (Nicole's) life. Kate tells Nicole the police are here. Dario reveals himself. They are both arrested.
In Joey's hospital room, Joey apologises to Kayla and Steve, who love him no matter the mess he's caused. They promise to get him home. He sees Jade, asks Steve and Kayla for a second with her. She's glad he's all right, he'd save her life again. Not necessary, Jade says, we'll never do anything that stupid again. She's going back to Salem with him to face the consequences (parents, judge). She curls up on his bed with him.
Outside, Steve takes Kayla's hand, asks, "So now what?" Kayla dodges, but Steve persists. Kayla notes that Steve makes it so hard to push him away. Steve reminds her that she doesn't really want to push him away, embracing her as they both face the camera. Kayla admits that he's cocky and reckless, and trouble finds him every day. That she should run in the other direction, but can't. They hug and kiss.
At the station while they are handcuffed (having been waiting a while), Nicole laments her getting Dario involved in this situation. He likes it, and lays a kiss on her. This enrages the uniform, who tells him to cut it out, then takes him to a cell.
At the DiMansion, Chad looks at a picture of Thomas and Abby. He gets a call from Marlena, telling him to zip to Shady Hills.
