Ben tries to earn Ciara’s trust. [What's his pitch going to be: "Sure, I strangled several people and tried to burn Chad and Abigail alive, but unlike EJ DiMera I really have changed -- honest."]
"And to prove I've changed, dear Ciara, I found your cute little pink backpack. Here you go. See, everything is all better now, isn't it???" says an oddly smiling Ben.
I guess I'll give this a try. But if Ciara and Ben are to be, it needs to be awhile, not minutes.
