A mixed bag today, as the Hortons welcome Eli into the family with a host of family stories, while Abby & Chad host the boring fundraiser at Club TBD.
But let's deal with the minor stuff - Ciara comes into the apt., Claire & Theo are nuzzling a bit, she reminds Claire that she wanted to talk to her. Theo has an exam, so leave, Ciara tells Claire that though she would never do anything to come between her & Theo, she does still have feelings for him. She has tried moving on, the online dating stuff, etc. Claire is a bit ticked, but seems o.k., promising to tone it down in the house with Theo when Ciara is around.
Then Claire runs over to the Pub, meets up with Gramma Marlena, having a total meltdown over Ciara's confession. Marlena is not happy with her tone, calms her down, talks reason. Ciara was only trying to be honest, to tell you how she felt, remember you cannot always think of yourself, what Theo, and what he needs. Claire jumps up, happy beyond, great advice, she runs out.
Abe comes to visit JJ in his office, knows about him being involved with Lani, she told him all about it, and while he thinks JJ is a great guy, he doesn't approve, thinks Lani should be with someone more mature. JJ says ...you mean older. No, I said more mature. JJ claims he will be good for Lani, in fact already is, and will prove it to Abe.
Chad is going over the speech he wrote, Abby edits it, small t alk. Later, at the club, he is giving the speech, talks a bit about when he was in school, involved in sports, and goes into flashback mode....yes those newly created fake memories of throwing a baseball with Gabi. Warning.....there are a lot thru these scenes. Later he sits at the bar, going down memory lane, Abby comes up, nuzzling, wants to know why he is so distracted. He is muttering some excuses, she realizes he probably is thinking of high school, mentions Grace, and amazed he got through it all. He apologizes for not crediting her in his speech, wants to go talk to the reporter, somehow a cup of coffee is spilled on his pants, but she thought ahead, brought an extra suit, it is in DArio's office. He is trying to hide the pants as he goes off.
Lucas is with Gabi & Ari, who wants to see Chad. Lucas mentions having a crush on Chad, Gabi is startled, til she realizes Lucas means Ari. They have to leave now for pre-school.
And over to Horton square, where Julie has invited the Hortons to come meet Eli. These are good scenes, fun ones, with Hope, Jennifer, Eli, Doug, Julie, and eventually Lucas, & Ciara. They are all laughing, talking, mentioning skeletons in the closets. Julie takes him to show him the plaque, talks of Tom & Alice, his great-great grandparents.
They return to the table, Lucas talks of not knowing who his father was til grown, he was mad at his mother, but eventually forgave her. Julie remarks that at least he got to know his father, Eli won't have that. Hope says not necessarily, and they all start telling family stories.Julie explains how David & Valerie first met, fell in love, different times when interracial couples were not accepted. But to David, love was love.
The rest eventually chime in with family stories, with Jennifer passing out some of Alice's famous doughnuts, as they talk of how Alice rescued Roman with a doctored variation of them, how Marie had to be told she could not be engaged to her brother (unknown to everyone), how Tom wrote and read poetry under the name Norm dePlume, Eli is really having a good time. It was explained to him how Hope is both Julie's sister and step-daughter, how Jennifer was a hellion when young, ran away from home, how she was left on a bus by her mom when 3 yrs. old, and Tom & Alice raised her. They learn Eli is an FBI agent, he learns Hope is a detective, as is her boyfriend, a former FBI agent. When JJ arrives, another cop in the family. They really have a good time, lots of laughter, etc.
At one point Valerie comes by, sees Eli with Julie, he tells her of the party to get to know the Hortons. She is somewhat taken aback, glad he is getting to know them. He coldly lets her know it is invite only.
She leaves, is later crying a bit on a park bench, Abe comes along, figures something has not gone right, is reassuring and comforting, Eli will come round. He comments that it has to be hard for her, she always had him to herself, now there is other family. She is grateful for his support.
The Hortons finally break it up, every single one either hugging Eli, or shaking his hand, looking forward to more interaction with him, etc.
Claire comes back to the apt., Theo is there, they are alone. Claire says she had a nice talk with Gramma Marlena, who made her realize something. Claire knows she is a bit self absorbed, but Gramma made her realize she has to think about Theo and his needs. Theo is perplexed, ...what needs. Hey, you're a guy, you have needs. He still is puzzled, but she adds, I think it is time we sleep together.
(I hate even writing this, just too stupid for words...but...) At the Club, Chad is in the office, stripped down to his shorts. Now I have no idea why his shirt and tie had to come off just to change his pants & jacket...but o.k. He is bending over to put on the pants, and of course the door opens and there is Gabi. His back is to her, she starts to turn away, doesn't, he stumbles, falls, with the pants around his ankles. She rushes in, kneels, is he o.k. They are giggling, laughing aloud, who knows what......Abby appears in the doorway, just watches with somber expression.
