Gabi arrives at the Nurses' Station, Eduardo is not in his room. The nurse informs her Ed checked out against medical advice.
At the police station, a uniform brings Rafe a stack of Papers. Rafe sarcastically thanks him. Later, he's talking to Hope, who informs him that Chase is out on bail, has a high-powered Chicago attorney working for him, and was released because the attorney argued that Chase was singled out because Ciara's a cop's daughter. (They do mention he confessed, Rafe is confused how he was let out.) Hope's trying to figure out how Chase is paying for this when Ciara comes in, angry because Hope promised she'd be safe. Hope assures her there will be a trial, apologizes because she just found out and couldn't warn her. Ciara says she saw Chase in the Square, Rafe is protective, but Chase didn't touch her. Ciara feels that Chase (who's in her head) is driving her crazy. Later, Hope is assuring Ciara that she's much stronger than Chase will ever be. Ciara worries that Chase will look for her at Jennifer's, wants to stay "at Claire's."
Rafe, later, is talking on the phone with a judge, gets batted down, worries something will happen with Chase. He sees Adriana (Mami), who knows something's wrong. He's helping a friend, but says no more. Wonders about Eduardo (Gabi has updated him), Mami doesn't want to know. They ruminate on Eduardo's return, Mami says she's going to concentrate on what's good in her life. (By the way, according to Rafe, she only left her home "a few days ago".) They arrange an impromptu family lunch gathering, Mami "would love" it, then asks about Hope, and whether Rafe likes her or not.
Earlier, Eduardo had been stalking about his hotel room, packing. It's clear he's in much pain. Now Gabi arrives and is (as per usual in Salem) about to knock when Eduardo leaves. She's upset that he's running out again, he says "it's been suggested" that he leave town, he does think it would be better, because of the danger to Arianna and Adriana. Gabi rebuffs this idea, thinks Eduardo's doing it because it's easier for him. She's upset, she doesn't want to miss her father. She didn't growing up, because she never had one, doesn't care what Dario and Rafe think, she wants him here. Gabi thinks Rafe and Dario will come around, Eduardo thinks Rafe the Cop can't forget or forgive the criminal things Eduardo did. Gabi believes Rafe will forgive Eduardo, since it's the "first time we've all been together, ever." She implores him to stay, to give their family a chance. Eduardo wants to remain in her life, but isn't sure of the next step. She tells them about the Pub gathering, invites him; he says nobody wants him there. She does, but finally agrees to go, after getting an assurance that he won't leave town today.
At the Pub, Dario arrives and Mami gushes over her "handsome" sons. Dario vows to leave if Eduardo shows up, wants him to rot. They've left a message for Gabi as they wonder whether or not Eduardo will really live. Dario wants Eduardo arrested, Rafe tries to explain why that's not so easy, Mami orders they stop it, wants a nice family dinner. Rafe gets a text from Hope, who's going off the grid with Ciara. (I'm sorry, I don't believe the 60+-year-old Hope would use texting abbreviations.) A bit later, Gabi arrives, Arianna is at the sitter's. Dario wants everyone on the same page, ready to get rid of Eduardo. This starts an argument about giving Eduardo another chance, or not. Rafe admits he's willing to give Eduardo another chance, Dario thinks it's a mistake. Meanwhile, Eduardo is approaching the Pub, but sees the family inside, and does a think-take. He enters and the family erupts.
At DiMansion, Abby is cuddled up with Chad, who's asleep. She gets up quietly. There's a banging on the front door. She opens it, it's Ben. Don't worry folks, 'twas only a dream. Abby awakens and there really is a pounding on the door. It's a guard, with Chase, who's looking for André. Chad excuses the guard, asks why Chase wants to see André. Chase knew André was in prison, but figured he would have made bail, was looking for a place to stay. Chad informs him there is no bail for André, this is his house, get off his property. Later, inside, Chad has updated Abby about Chase. Abby worries about all the bad things happening, Chad points out the good (their marriage and baby). They talk about Abby's stress and she admits she's not slept a full night since learning she was pregnant. He asks if she's still having visions of Ben. (They're hugging.) She's wincing, says no. His face is flat, says good; he promises to keep her safe.
Ciara and Hope are in a hotel, Ciara worries about the expence, Hope says no problem, let's get room service, stream movies, do some online shopping. Anything to get Ciara through the night. Later, Ciara laments how Hope was falling for Bo at [Ciara's] age, and she's never been in love. Plenty of time for that, Hope states. Ciara can no longer imagine being in love. Hope promises that the pain will pass, little by little, she'll get better. Ciara worries that nobody will want her because "everything's ruined after what Chase did to me." Hope assures her that what Chase did does not diminish Ciara, nor define what she is. Hope tells her that one day, Ciara's prince will come, and he'll be lucky to have Ciara.
Meanwhile, Chase curls up against a half-wall in the Square. Later, he steals a lady's purse.
Later, Chad has laid out a picnic in the garden, he and Abby drink champagne. Later, they're basking under a blanket as she muses how she got so far with Ben, who did everything because of her. Abby suddenly is worried one of the guards might have seen them, Chad says he made sure nobody would see them. Later, Abby goes in to get Chad a sweater (she's wearing his shirt). She sees a guard in the corner: it's Ben. She closes her eys, says "You are not real," twice, and he's gone. She turns around, and Ben (in a guard's uniform) is there (at the open doors), tells her he's real, but nobody will believe her. Out in the garden, Chad is holding Thomas when Abby calls for him, saying Ben was there, he touched her (her hand is on her face where he touched her earlier), and vowed he'd never leave her alone.
