At the Pub, Nicole (fresh from meeting with Victor) meets with Jeannie T and Brady, tells about the favour Vic's requested (seducing, marrying, and fleecing Deimos). Jeannie T thinks (like Victor) that Nicole could pull it off, Brady is incensed. He worries Deimos is slimy, Nicole will keep it from going too far, etc.
At the police station, Hope is in her giant office, looks in her file sorter at the file on Deimos. A uniform brings in Bo's badge (Roman cleaned out his own desk). A voice calls Hope, tells her she was right to move on Deimos. Encourages her to challenge Deimos head-on to get to the truth. Rafe stops by her office, wonders who was on the phone. She says it was Shawn, talk about a case that's back to Square one now. Asks her to an early dinner. She makes plans to meet him at the Pub.
At the Kmansion, Deimos is throwing away pictures of the Kiriakes. Later, Hope has arrived, turns down a drink, is here on business, but not a criminal matter. Deimos asks for a direct question so he can give a direct answer. She wants to know about Dr Seth Malcolm, and Bo's kidnapping and torture. Was he involved? He answers, yes, but his hands are clean, there's nothing she can do. Hope asks why he did it, Deimos did it for the money, he was paid to obtain the formula. She's angry, says what if I'm wearing a wire. Deimos knows she wasn't expecting a confession, there's nothing more she can do. Hope pulls her gun, points it at his head. He rises, she keeps it leveled at his eyes, as he reminds her there's no evidence. So what will she do? She lowers her weapon. Nicole enters and asks if she's interrupting something. Deimos says no, Detective Brady was just leaving. Hope asks what business Nicole has with Deimos, Nicole says it's none of Hope's business. Hope leaves, vowing to be back. Nicole asks about Deimos' way with women, asks him if he's made up with Kate. (He doesn't answer.) She asks him to dinner...he'd love to, but doesn't want to start things off with a lie.
Chad has a bead on Abby, who used her credit card to check into a motel. (She must be crazy.) JJ wants to go along, as Abby's brother.
In the motel, Thomas cries as Abby tries to console him. Her neighbour pounds on the wall, irritated, as she tries to calm the baby. She's upset, sets him in his carrier, on the bed, says she has to walk away. Thomas stops crying. She goes back to him, he starts fussing again, she realises he's upset because she's upset. Chad and JJ break the door down, she growls at them to stay right there. Chad promises not to hurt her, JJ says that Ben's in prison, can't hurt her anymore. Abby rails against them, that's what they said before, Ben will continue to try to hurt her. Chad vows that he won't let that happen, Abby correctly points out Chad's earlier measures didn't work. Only she knows what is best for her son, how to take care of him. JJ talks calmly of the people who are there for her, Chad speaks of Thomas having a mother and a father, this life on the run isn't what she wants for him. He takes the carrier slowly, holds Thomas lovingly as Abby watches in horror/shock. She yelps, knocks over the carrier, and bolts. JJ stops her; she marvels at how quiet Thomas is, how she tried everything, couldn't calm him. Just lucky, Chad asserts, baby just needs sleep, just like his mother. Abby can't sleep...she has nightmares, worries Thomas does, too. Chad says Thomas is strong like his mother, she breaks down, doesn't feel strong, hugs Chad as she holds the baby.
Back at the DiMansion, Jennifer has been waiting for Abby, hugs her when the group returns. Abby worries about not knowing what to do all the time, like Jennifer did (she made it seem so easy), Jennifer admits she made mistakes, but struggled, did the best she could, and now has two amazing kids despite her shortcomings as a mom. The hardest thing for a mom is to see her children suffer, but she had a village helping her. Jenn begs Abby to let them help her. Jen, JJ, and Thomas leave the room, Abby wants Chad to stop looking at her like she's crazy. Chad says there's no shame in admitting she needs more help than he can offer. She doesn't want to be locked up, she's convinced that anyone would have tried to kill Ben, continues to wish he'd let her just finish it. He talks about the danger to Thomas, did she think about that? She leaves out the garden doors, Chad follows.
A moment after Chad and Abby leave, Jenn and JJ talk about the plans for Abigail, and how bad it's getting. Jennifer feels guilty for letting her down, not being there. JJ says she's not the only one in the family that has a problem. He's not judging, but she rebukes him. The last thing she needs is her son hovering over her. She's fine and together, and will be there for her daughter. Thomas cries, and Jennifer zips out to get him, JJ follows. Chad and Abby re-enter the room, as she thinks about what she did to Ben. She admits she'd never thought herself capable of something like that, she just wanted it to go away. She didn't call the police, couldn't trust them. Chad is understanding, calm. Abby sits on the couch, admits she put Thomas in danger, didn't want to do that. Chad tells her she's amazing, she was just pushed to the edge. She admits she snapped. He tells her not to tell anyone besides JJ and Marlena, they'll protect her/keep it confidential, but if anyone else finds out, he can't protect her. He can't lose her. He will do whatever it takes to protect her and Thomas. As she looks over Thomas' basinet (sorry, I thought he was in a room to the back, but the whole scene they look at the basinet...?) Abby says that she is hurting Thomas, because when she holds him, he feels how "freaked out" she is. She was so afraid of losing Thomas she walked away from everyone, even Thomas. She never thought she'd do that, so she'll go...she has to, even though she doesn't want to be away from Thomas, she needs to get better. Jennifer and JJ come out from the back as Chad asks if Abby wants to hold Thomas; she does, but he needs his rest. She'll go and get better, and then come back to her son and hold him, and never let him go. She and Chad walk to the doors in the study (?), she goes back to hug Jenn and JJ.
Back at their townhouse, Brady and Jeannie T talk about Nicole's mission. Brady vows to take the fight on, Jeannie T worries about Brady, says it's not about the money. Brady remembers how Victor and Maggie saved him multiple times. Brady remarks, "Ever since Daniel died, life is getting weirder." Make of that what you will. He recaps the plot points, and he then says he's holding on to Jeannie T and Tate. He just feels like there's something else that he should be doing.
At the Kmansion, Nicole asks about Deimos's lie. He points out she's lying, wants to know why she's really here. She wants his side of the story, finds the way Deimos looks at her (like she's someone else) fascinating. Tell me more about Helena.
