PART 1
Aiden is with Chase, who is practicing his karate. Chase hands him his phone to take a picture and of course Aiden happens to see video of him and Hope dancing from the night of the Gala. He wonders why Chase videotaped them. Why not? Did he enjoy it? LOL. Aiden says it was just a dance. Over to Hope and Ciara in another part of the square discussing their vacation plans. Ciara says she’s not going. Going to North Dakota to see some big rock sounds boring. South Dakota, Hope corrects her. Whatever, says Ciara. LOL. She wants to go to New Orleans. Because that’s where they went with Daddy on their last vacation. Ciara mentions seeing Oak Alley where they pretended to get married. They talk about how long it’s been since they’ve seen Bo and how much they miss him. Later, Hope is on the phone confirming their vacation changes to go to New Orleans. Ciara is excited to go but sad daddy won’t be going with them. Now, Aiden and Chase walk up and Ciara excitedly tells Chase that she and mommy are going on vacation today. Obligatory stare between Hope and Aiden. He didn’t realize they were leaving. She says it’s spur of the moment. He asks where they are going. Ciara says mom wanted to do Mount Rushmore, lame, so instead they’re going to New Orleans, no big deal to change flights, although kinda expensive but her mom’s got money. Hope gives Ciara a look and middle names her. LOL. Ciara asks if they’ve ever been to New Orleans and then invites them along. Both Aiden and Hope say NO. Chase wonders why. Aiden says they can’t just pick up and leave. He wishes Hope and Ciara a happy vacation. They take off. Ciara tells her mother that she and Mr. Jennings were acting weird. Hope says that’s because she put them in an awkward position. They go to leave too but she realizes she doesn’t have her purse. She turns around and runs right into Aiden who has her purse. More looks, then Hope and Ciara leave. Chase wants to go to mom’s beach house in Peuget Sound but Aiden says no, gets a little short with his son about it. Aiden apologizes. Chase misses the beach house. Aiden says under his breath that he doesn’t.
At their apartment, Sonny and Will discuss Will’s writing assignment. Sonny asks if he talked to his mom about it yet. No, he decided to write the article about Sami and EJ. Sonny asks why he would want to do that. Will explains that the magazine was going to write it no matter what so he wanted to be able to control the message. Apparently the editor isn’t aware of EJ’s affair and wants him to write about Sami taking over DiMera Enterprises while EJ fights the tax evasion charges.
Ben and Abigail discuss Clyde and Jordan. She wonders why he would hide that. He tells her they didn’t want his father to find them. He explains what happened. She deduces that Ben isn’t his real name. She seems pretty understanding of the whole situation and wonders how he found them. Ben’s not sure. He hates having to lie to everyone about this but she understands. Sonny and Will show up and Ben says he has to go take care of something, asks her to keep this to herself. Abigail sheepishly walks up with Sonny and Will. They ask how she’s doing. She says she’s so sorry and wouldn’t blame them if they hate her. But they’re very understanding and know how Sami accosted her. Sonny notices she was talking to Ben when they walked in, is everything cool with him? She says he’s being really good about everything. Will somehow figures out that Sami told Ben, gets angry, and storms out of the club. Sonny and Abigail talk about EJ. She feels terrible about the whole thing but he tells her don’t be so hard on herself. She’s had a tough couple years. She tells him to stop, she’s no victim and EJ didn’t pressure her into anything, she needs to take responsibility. He tells her she’s a terrible person and to get out of his club. They both laugh.
In the park, Clyde and Jordan argue of the stolen money, which she says was dirty money. He yells that it was supposed to give them a new start in life but she went and ruined everything. Jordan says he gave them no choice, it’s not like they chose that way of life. He thinks her mama filled her head with lies about him. She says her mother would have wanted them to live a better life and not be like him. She refuses to allow him to make her feel guilty for leaving and she and Ben have made a good life here and he will not destroy it. He says he doesn’t want to ruin anything for them, he’s proud of them and what they’ve done with their lives. She tells him to go back home again. He reaches out to touch her face but she smacks his hand away telling him to never touch her again, just as Ben walks up wondering what’s going on. Clyde says he was just telling Tammy Sue how proud he is of them. He gets a phone call and says he’s got to go but tells Ben to not go far. Jordan sort of collapses and cries. She laments she should have been more careful. He tells her to stop blaming herself. Ben suggests going to the police or asking Rafe to help them but Jordan says Clyde has everything on them, they have nothing on him. He won’t give up. Rafe walks up, wants to have that talk with Jordan. Ben says it’s not a good time, he’s having a bit of a crisis and needs Jordan’s help. They walk away leaving Rafe confused.
Clyde is on the phone with someone about some guy who hasn’t paid yet and tells them they know what they have to do.
At the Pub, Rafe and Kate are still talking about her plan with the DiMera’s. She reiterates that she wants that SOB Stefano to pay for pay for what he tried to do to Rafe. She wasn’t aware what Stefano was capable of when he sent Bernardi after him with a razor. She feels responsible because she blurted out the truth to Stefano and she vowed one day she’d get revenge. He doesn’t like her taking this kind of risk. She says she knows how to handle Stefano. She thinks he should be more concerned about clearing things up with Jordan. He thinks things are a little more complicated because he thought what happened between them didn’t mean anything but apparently that’s not the case anymore. Kate says she cares about Rafe, but as a friend only. He thinks it’s going a bit above and beyond that. She thinks telling Jordan about their one-night stand would be a mistake. He thinks he’s being hypocritical about Jordan telling him her secrets when he’s not telling his. She tries to dissuade him again but he made up his mind. He takes off.
