Thanks for the summary. Yup, teens and their parents were boring filler, even if it was good to see Belle back. Chad and Gabi was also filler. Yawn.
I agree that Deimos is a danger and Nicole should run away as fast as she can from him. But Chloe is wrong to be judging and making these decisions. Four years ago, she did the same thing with Parker over her sick obsession with Daniel. This is out of character for her, and it's just not entertaining to see Nicole suffer more. That said, the acting was great and I'm glad the reveal was done, but it should've been done after this whole police fiasco, in my opinion.
