At his hotel, Mr Hamlin visits Deimos. He wants to rent him a super apartment, Deimos is suspicious of the fishy good deal. Turns out it was Ben's apartment. Deimos thinks this is perfect. Much later (in the episode), he has signed the lease, landlord leaves, and Deimos takes out pictures of Victor, Maggie, Caroline, Philip, Brady, and Justin.
At TBD, Belle is late for her drink with Philip, who thinks she was holding back something. She was with Shawn. Belle admits this, but claims just to talk about Claire. Belle is seeking out Philip because he's as messed up as she is, Philip thinks they're perfect for each other. Belle declares he's like a drug to her. Vegas was a break, trying to run from their problems, Belle points out Philip's troubles are worse than hers. He leans in, smooth talk, kiss. Later, they're making out in Philip's room. A bit later, they're canoodling afterwards, she gets a text from Claire, who's nervous about her audition. She considers going to her, Philip points out Eve's with her, and then Claire texts the same. Belle replies in support of Claire. Philip is reassuring her; the phone rings for Philip, Deimos wants to talk now. Belle reads his expression, Philip is desperate to get out from under Deimos' thumb.
At the Johnson House, Joey enters and has flashbacks (very trippy) to frenching Ava and then later walking in on Steve/Ava. When he comes down from his trip, he smashes a picture of Kayla/Steve. Later, Theo shows up, talking about Chase being the bully, Joey doesn't believe it. Not a good time. Later, he apologises to Theo, he's sorry, it's just a bad time. Theo sees the picture, Joey admits he broke it because he trusted someone he shouldn't have. Theo asks if his dad can help, is sorry that Joey's upset.
Kayla sleeps in the dungeon, dreaming of Steve rescuing her. (A few scenes like this, interspersed with Ava's sick obsession.) Finally the image disappears, Kayla awakens.
Ava and Steve are stranded in Maui, can't fly out. They're in a hotel or something. Steve wants Ava to hold up her end of the deal, call Joe and tell him where Kayla is. Ava keeps pushing, Steve keeps saying no, this isn't going to happen. She loves him, will wait as long as it takes. He figures out she's been lying about dying. She admits how she did it, claims all was for love, not like her father. He thinks the son is a lie, she claims that's the truth, like her love. She has stripped to a skimpy little black negligée, pushes him against a wall, says the only way to save Sweetness is to let this happen. Kissing, Steve does not appear to be enjoying it, but goes through with it. Afterwards, she wants to savour the moment, he wants to move on with their business. She calls Joey, says he needs to grow up, gives him Kayla's whereabouts.
Gabi and Paul are walking through the Square, Gabi doesn't like the unpredictable hours of modelling, thinks Ari needs a routine (though she admits it's better than the prison laundry, LOL). She wishes she had time for other things, some guy is watching them. Later, the guy comes over to Paul, whom he recognises as the "gay baseball player." The guy wonders what Paul was doing with that hot girl, whom he recognises from prison. The guy just can't get over it, Paul is sarcastic, tells him off, leaves.
At the police station, Lani is giving JJ advice for his police academy graduation. She remarks he's been noticed by people, including Roman, and he says he's worried about her. Later, JJ is entering the Horton House, Gabi runs up to him outside. Congratulates him for his upcoming academy graduation, he has a shoulder injury from his self-defence class. She rubs it, it feels good. After a bit, they pull apart, decide to get a frozen yogurt before either can say anything. In the Square, he admits he's worried about tripping at the graduation now. JJ leaves for a second, the Guy comes up and starts harassing Gabi, who remembers him. JJ returns, the Guy doesn't stop, moves in on Gabi. JJ grabs him, gets him in the cuff position. The Guy claims this is a mistake, he's a corrections officer. JJ's a cop, stalemate, the Guy leaves. Gabi worries that her past murder will never be behind her, JJ gives her a pep talk about moving forward. JJ thinks that this will happen more if she keeps modelling, but doesn't discourage her from modelling, offers to teach her self-defence right there in the bushy gated area. He teacher her a move, she does it wrong and they end up face-to-face. Smooch. They pull away, agree they're going to take things slow, no complications.
Alone, Belle digs through Philip's desk, finds pictures of a girl (looks like Melanie to my eye, but it isn't). Meanwhile, Deimos meets with Philip, and they talk about the serum again. Deimos thinks he's being played. Back at Phil's, Belle puts the pictures back in the envelope, writes a question mark on the envelope, and leaves it up for Philip to see. Back at Deimos's place, Deimos has a test for Philip, if he fails, he'll inform that "high-ranking Chicago cop" who's "extremely dirty and very vicious" about Phil's role in the cop's daughter's death. Phil wants to know what the test is.
In the dungeon, Kayla is passed out, Joey pounds outside, busts open a door, gives her a hug. She appears ok. In Maui, Ava tells Steve that she's going to get more from him, lest she tell Kayla what they did.
