Another could-have-been-over-in-10-minutes episode today, but certainly not the worst we've seen.
At the Teen Loft, replay of Theo telling Claire he wants her to be his girlfriend, smooch, what does she think. She wants that, too. To keep their relationship in the clear, she fesses up about her lies (wanting to be Tripp's girlfriend, and being OK with just being Theo's friend). Theo admits he was never okay with being friends either, and feels Claire's support of Abe through the crisis outweighs that. He is worried about Tripp's feelings, which Claire confirms was a ploy on Tripp's part to make Theo more jealous. They will move forward because it was not Claire's idea, though she was happy to allow it.
At Statesville, Sheila visits Adrienne. Adrienne learns that Bonnie offered Sheila more, and Sheila feels Bonnie is not trustworthy but motivated to pay. Adrienne learns that "Adrienne" is living at the Kmansion now. Sheila came to tell Adrienne so she'd stop waiting for a rescue that wasn't coming. Sheila goes to leave, Adrienne stands up and gets tossed back in solitary when her pleas get physical. Sheila is unsympathetic.
At the Kmansion, Bonnie decides to get to Hattie before she's named as an accomplice. She dumps the busted figurine into her purse, and has to dodge a dinner invite from Nicole & Brady, who keep stalling her. Meanwhile, Hattie is trying to convince Justin to be her lawyer by, at length, offering up her accomplice. (The scenes really drag and are interspersed.) Bonnie goes on about the pull of first love as Nicole and Brady squirm. Bonnie zips out, Holly gets a meal. Hattie, taking her sweet time, fails to name her accomplice prior to the arrival of Bonnie, who interrupts and makes an impassioned case for Justin not taking the case. Justin questions this, and Bonnie claims she's trying to get a scoop for the Intrudaspectator by interviewing Hattie. She gets in by claiming to be Justin's associate.
At the Horton Center, Eric tells someone (over the phone) that Nicole doesn't work here any more, then has a flashback to yesterday's scene where Nicole said she considered returning, but will instead work for a Titan charity. Marlena visits, jokingly proves her identity (by naming Eric's favourite childhood food, chocolate-covered peanut butter cups). They review Eric's suspicions about the Hattie/"Adrienne" party. Unfortunately they don't put 2 and 2 together, just think the "party" was odd. Marlena wants to talk about Eric and how difficult working with Nicole must have been. It was at first, but got better, Eric reports, besides, she's gone, it's for the best. He sees a call from Nicole, smiles, but there's no message when he checks after Marlena departs.
In the Kmansion living room, a bit later, Brady flashes back to yesterday's conversation with Nicole. Nicole returns, having fed Holly, and they talk about how "Adrienne" was wrong in her assessment of first loves, and Nicole gets double-dog confirmation that it's OK for her to go back to the Horton Center. He is okay with it, she will call and let Eric know that she will return to work. Nicole can't reach him, leaves; Brady ponders drinking.
Nicole goes to the Center, tells Eric she wants to work with him again, and Brady is OK with it. At the Kmansion, Marlena has come to investigate "Adrienne." Brady (who also tests Marlena) admits "Adrienne"'s not been herself since moving back in.
Bonnie and Hattie go back and forth about whether or not Hattie should give Bonnie up. (What exactly is their motivation here? Give up Anjelica, do time, and move on. Stupid.) Big dramatics but no forward progression, Justin enters and is suspicious.
