Eve and Jack :
Jack comes back from a "meeting" with his constituents. Eve asks him how it went. He say everybody wants something. She replies "What do you want?" He looks at her, puzzled. She says she knows what he's done. Panicked look on Jack's face. Then Eve tells him she knows he got the charges dropped against JJ. She's the commissioner, should have talked to her. Relief for Jack, who says "Oh, you're talking about JJ" (great way to keep a secret, huh?) JJ is his son, Jack thought he had been punished enough. Eve tells him JJ still despises him and he should forget about his family, the past, and focus on the future. Jack wants to focus on the present, asks Eve to order them some dinner and goes to take a shower.
Eve looks at Jack's briefcase. Jack comes out of the bathroom, dressed after his shower, wants to know what's to eat. Eve tells him he trusted her to order, take a look. He lifts up the cover on a plate, there is the diary. Jack is angry she went through his briefcase, Eve is angry he did not tell her. How did he get the diary? If he wants his memory and hid it from her, he still wants Jennifer. Jack tells her everything, including the condition, that the charges against JJ be dropped. Jack says he is committed to her, but has kids, wants to remember being in their lives. Wants to be in their lives now. Eve says she lost a daughter, would never, ever stand in the way of him and his kids (yeah, right
), but is worried. What if she loses Jack to a tumor, like Will had, or worse? She loves him so much (!!!!!). He says he is well aware of the risks, so she thinks she can still change his mind. They proceed to have sex, and later, Jack is asleep and Eve looks at the message she had left for Claire, warning her about Tripp, Ben and Ciara.
Carrie is closing the Pub, tells the last patrons to leave, thanks for coming, "you too, buddy". But it is Rafe, at the bar. Both are happy to see each other again. Rafe asks her for some legal advice. Carrie not wanting to get between him and Hope. Not about that. It's about David. Since Jordan will be in Bayview a very long time, she has asked Rafe to be the legal guardian. She says that's a big request. Yes, but he's doing it. Never thought he'd be a single father, but it works for him. She tells him she can get the ball rolling before she leaves. He replies that Austin must want her back soon. No, they are separated. She cries, explains does not really know what happened, only the routine got the best of them. She would come back from work, they would eat dinner, help Noah with homework, Austin would watch soccer, she would read a book. One day, she realized it had been months since they made love, and there was nothing left of the couple they used to be. They tried therapy, but she was the only one going, so did not work. Rafe tells her he's sorry, tells her he's thought about the both of them, what could have been if Carrie had not left, takes her in his arms, she cries some more and bam. Of course, since the "writers" love grief kisses/sex, they kiss.
JJ and Haley are in bed, in the afterglow. They can't believe she is there. She says it beats being back in Beijing. JJ tells her not to joke about this, after all his dad and Eve did to her. To them. Haley tells him to let it go, he's in enough trouble with the law. He tells her the charges were dropped. She's ecstatic. But they wonder what was in it for Jack. Haley says not important, let's just be happy they are together. They reminisce about the moment they fell in love, when JJ was playing the guitar for Haley, then go for round two... or three.
Shawn arrives at the loft. Sees the blood, is all worried. Kayla calls him, he tells her no time to talk, needs to call the police, something happened at the loft. Kayla says she knows, tells him Claire not hurt, but to come to the hospital. At the hospital, Shawn learns everything from Kayla and Tripp. At first, does not believe it, but when he learns about Tripp's plan, he rips into him. Not only did he break Claire's heart, he then ambushed her (can't say I blame Shawn there). Kayla tries to calm him down, but Shawn leaves angry, determined to find his daughter. He runs into Hope, Ben and Ciara at the hospital (see below). Ciara apologizes, Shawn apologizes to her, does not know what he will do about Claire. Hope tells him Claire will need him, all of them, now more than ever.
At the cabin, repeat of Claire pouring gasoline on Ciara, Ciara begging her to stop, she loves her, you love me too. Claire says she needs the pain to stop, she needs Ciara to go away. Lights the lighter. Outside, Ben, Hope and Marlena arrive, banging on the door, yelling. Ciara yells back, "help me". Ben finally breaks down the door. Tries to get Claire to drop the lighter, she tells him off, says he killed people, he says yes, but it ruined his life. Not too late for her. Hope steps in, tells Claire she loves her, knows Claire loves her, would not want to hurt her, to take Ciara away from her.
Meanwhile, Ben undoes the ties on Ciara's right wrist. Claire finally turns off the lighter, drops it, Hope goes to Ciara to finish untying her, while Claire falls crying in Marlena's arms. All is fine, "I've got you". Ben, Ciara and Hope leave (yeah, sure, leave Marlena alone, no backup, no nothing, Hope is really, really great at her job) to go to the hospital. Of course, once alone, Marlena turns her back to Claire to look for a towel to clean her up, get the gasoline smell of her. Claire picks up the lighter, lights it, while sitting on the bed. She says her life is over, better off dead, talks of how she is even worse then Ben, what kind of a monster is she? Marlena replies that Ben turned his life around, she can too. And she will never give up on Claire, loves her too much. Both cry. Finally, Claire gives her the lighter and both leave the cabin, alone (!!!!), hand in hand.
The end.

Let's say I was referencing what Ted said yesterday, that Hope was a good detective.
