A Look At Tomorrow for Thursday, Aug. 27th

Park - Part 1: Kate has another very sick fantasy of her and Daniel having sex.


Kiriakis mansion - Part 1: Daniel is on his computer. He recalls Kate's reaction to him grabbing her arm. You're not in control. Not completely. He makes a call.

Hospital - Part 1: Nathan and Lexie are in Chloe's room. Lexie's cell rings - it's Daniel. She doesn't know why he keeps calling - he knows they can't talk to him. Nathan thinks it's driving him nuts that he can't help Chloe. The conversation changes to Ciara - Lexie can't even imagine how scared Ciara must be. Nathan adds that Bo and Hope must be going crazy. They head out of the room and hear Theo saying I want Ciara. Lexie comforts him telling him she'll be fine. She asks Abe if there's anything. He tells her that Bo and Hope were moving in on the house where they kept her - that was a while ago. Nathan thinks it's taking too long. Nathan snaps when he backs into the cart that Melanie is pushing. She takes it that there is no news on Ciara yet. Abe is on his phone - he announces it's Roman - they found Ciara. She's fine. Nathan picks up Melanie and twirls her around. She tells him he needs to learn how to express his emotions more. Nathan runs off to call Maggie. Melanie mutters - Philip must be really happy. Lexie asks Theo if he understands - they found Ciara and she's fine. Abe thinks that Theo wants to see that for himself. Lexie hugs Theo and tells him Ciara will be home soon. Kate is standing in front of the window in Chloe's room but skulks off as soon as she sees Nathan. Nathan finishes his call and watches as Melanie makes entries in the computer - she's doing inventory. Melanie asks if he call Stephanie with the good news. He didn't. She says good because Stephanie and Philip are probably ... she stops - I'm such a bitch. Ciara's safe, you're happy and I'm mad - I'm an awful person. Nathan says she isn't, she's just mad at him. He didn't mean to hurt her feeling the other night and he obviously did - he's sorry. Melanie admits she freaked out thinking he had made a date with Stephanie but when she calmed down she realised that was kind of lame. Nathan says it was. Now what about Philip and Stephanie. Melanie tells him they are probably getting back together. Nathan asks if she is okay because he knows how much she cares about Philip. Melanie - So does he and that doesn't make any difference.


Woods: Stephanie is holding some posters of Ciara saying a prayer while Philip is on the phone to Brady. Philip tells him they're sending the volunteers home. He adds that they're closing in on the house where she was kept and he thinks they don't want anyone around in case things go south. Brady asks him to keep him posted. Philip comforts Stephanie and then pulls her behind some trees when he hears something. Philip sees that it's a cop so they come out from behind the bushes. Philip identifies himself as Ciara's uncle and the cop tells them that they found her and she's okay.


Kiriakis mansion - Part 2: Brady comes into the room talking on his cell - it's great news. Daniel says now that Ciara is safe he's wondering if Brady found a way for him to get to Chloe and give her that drug. Brady doesn't think he can help him. He did some research on the drug and Daniel neglected to mention it could kill her. Daniel asks - What, you think she is alive now? Brady is sorry but what he's asking him to do is ... Daniel argues - Is help save a life. Brady knows that Daniel is sure of that but he isn't - he's sorry. Daniel says it's not you, it's that woman. That monster is running around free and she put a good, beautiful woman into a coma and now everyone just falls right in line. Brady knows that he thinks that Kate did this ... Daniel knows she did and she set him up and now she's got this wimp of a son ... Brady tells him he's in no position to trash Lucas. Daniel states that Lucas is in a position to do something but he won't - nobody won't. Brady suggests that he get Chloe's father involved in this - he's a doctor. Dan says no, Lucas is her husband. He's the one in control. Brady thinks Daniel is too closely involved to make decisions about Chloe. Dan claims he's the only one on her side. Brady says he's sounding like some conspiracy theory guy ... he's known Kate his whole life. He doesn't think she's capable of doing what Daniel said she did. It doesn't make any sense. If she wanted Lucas to stay away from Chloe all she had to was tell him about you. Daniel - Problem is, she wanted more than that.

Daniel is now on the phone with Justin telling him he has to put Kate on the stand and tear her apart because she manufactured evidence. After the call Brady comments that it didn't sound good. Daniel says the obvious thing is to prove that Kate did it. Brady - And Justin doesn't agree with that? No - he wants them to concentrate on proving he didn't do it. Brady thinks he should follow Justin's advice. Daniel rants - and Kate gets away with it? Brady points out that he'd be free to practice medicine again, to have a life. Dan scoffs - that's not a life. He thinks that Justin is just like Brady, like everybody else in this town that thinks Kate Roberts is invincible - some rich, powerful woman who can just get away with anything. Brady thinks that Justin, who went to law school might have a better idea on how to defend him than he does. Daniel says he doesn't have all the information. Kate's not invincible. She has an Achille's Heel, me. He should have seen it coming - should have known what he was dealing with. I was her lover, her doctor, the cancer almost killed her ... Brady - She's obsessed with you and she wants you to suffer. Dan - It's love, hate all mixed up in one pyschological cocktail from hell. Brady - And when she found out that you fell in love with Chloe that sent her off the deep end, right? Daniel comments that it sounds like he's starting to believe him. What Brady knows is how she gets if you mess with her son Philip - if you do you're in deep, deep trouble. Daniel points out that in all this the victim is Chloe. She fought him as hard as she could and after Lucas's accident she went back to him, devoted her life to making him happy. She tried so hard but Kate decided that she didn't deserve to live. You know what kind of person Chloe is, what life means to her and now she's lying there helpless. What scares the hell out of him is that he knows her mind is still working - she knows what's happening. She knows that this can go on forever and ever ... Brady tells him to stop it. Dan - Help me. She needs us. Brady - Alright.


Kidnapper's hideaway: When Ciara denies that Dean is the man that rescued her Dean reaches for his gun and starts slipping it out of the holster. Bo comes out as Ciara is telling Hope - It wasn't him. It was you and Daddy. Bo lifts her up as Dean says that's right sweetie, Mom and Dad never stopped looking for you. Hope notices how Ciara is staring at Dean and asks her what's wrong. Hope thinks Ciara is staring at the bloody bandage - she tells her Dean is going to be fine. Roman comes out and tells Dean the ambulance is on it's way - if he's fine it would be better if they walked to the top of the ridge to meet them. They leave. Hope kisses Ciara's hand and tells her mommy and daddy are so proud of her. Ciara tells her not to cry - she doesn't have to be sad anymore. Group hug even though Hope pulls back from Bo. Hope tells Ciara that before they go home she wants to stop in and see Lexie - make sure you're okay. Some cute banter follows. As Bo is following Hope and Ciara he sways on his feet and clutches the back of his head.


Hospital - Part 2: Kate lets herself into Chloe's room - they brought in a wounded officer and everyone is so busy - we'll get to spend some time together all alone. There's no one left to help you. Of course I'll come by from time to time to talk to you and I'll be telling you all about the day that Daniel is convicted; all about the day his appeal is denied. Then of course there will be that lovely little evening when they slip that needle into his arm and that will be the day that you both get what you deserve. Nathan comes in - What the hell are you doing in here? Kate snaps - she's Chloe's mother-in-law - what right does he have to speak to her like that. Nathan - Aside from the fact that I'm supposed to be in here and you're not? Kate apologises - it's just difficult for her to see Chloe like this. She comes because Lucas is at such a loss without her. Nathan knows. Kate appreciates everything he said to Lucas - he's just so conflicted. Nathan wishes there was something more he can do - he gestures at Chloe. Kate coldly replies - There's nothing you can do for her now. Nathan - Are you sure you even want her to get better? Of course she does. They're all hoping for a miracle but they have to be realistic. Nathan doesn't think it's realistic to simply give up. Kate is thinking of her son. Lucas wants Chloe to get better but it would be wrong to get his hopes up - he can't cling to false hopes. Kate tells Nathan he's young, naive and not very realistic - that's wonderful but not practical because he can't comprehend that someone other than Chloe was hurt by Dr. Jonas. She means Lucas because he trusted his wife and her doctor and look what they did to him. Nathan - Right. Maybe if Lucas is the victim in all this he shouldn't be the one making the decisions about her treatment. Kate - Maybe you should accept the fact that all of this is none of your business. She leaves.

Lexie reports to Abe and Roman that Dean is going to be fine - the bullet went clean through his shoulder. He can go home as soon as he's discharged. Roman will start the paper work on his commendation first thing in the morning. Roman says Dean was pretty lucky. He then goes on to say there's something about this whole damn case ... Bo feels it too - that they had something against Hope, that it was personal. Then they could have something against Bo - they're checking to see if Bo or Hope had ever arrested them. Abe - They have records? Roman says yes and Lexie needs to hear this - they guy that took Ciara was a registered sex offender. Lexie - Children? Roman - Yeah. They didn't have a chance to talk to Ciara about that ... Lexie sees Bo and Hope with Ciara and rushes over to them. She is happy to see Ciara and there's someone else here that is too. Bo takes Ciara over to Theo. Lexie hugs Hope. She tells Hope that she needs her in the room when she examines Ciara. Hope wouldn't be anywhere else. She tells Lexie she'd like Bo to be checked out as well - there was a fight and he hit his head pretty hard. Lexie tells Bo she'll have someone see him right away. Bo says no, he's fine - just make sure my daughter is okay. After they go to the exam room Bo tells Roman they talked to Ciara in the car - she said the bad man just gave her candy. He didn't get the feeling that she was hiding anything, He doesn't think he touched her but what do I do if he did? Lexie returns and tells Bo there is no evidence of any physical abuse - she's tired but fine. Just a few more tests and then they can go home. Bo and Hope are in with Ciara when Lexie comes in and tells them Roman is about to take Dean home - she thought they'd like to talk with him first. She'll stay with Ciara. Roman tells Bo and Hope he thought they'd take Dean's statement right now so he can sleep in. Bo - What happened? Dean says when he found the place he was looking through the crack of the door - he reached for his cell phone to call for backup and that's when he saw the male perp. He was putting a blanket over Ciara and he reached for his gun. He just had to get in there and stop him so I took him out. Bo - And the woman was in there too? Yeah but I couldn't let that make any difference. I had to stop him. Roman - And give the sister a chance to take you out? Dean - Yeah, well, it didn't work out that way. Hope - Ciara must have been so scared. Bo tries to comfort her but she pulls away - Dean watches.

Bo and Hope are sitting in the waiting room. Bo - That was rough to hear. Hope needed to hear it - she needed to know what their daughter went through. Bo comments - You're still angry with me for going on TV. Hope doesn't want to talk about it right now. You think someone is still out there, don't you? Bo doesn't think those two were smart enough to pull something like this off. Hope - So you want to interrogate Ciara? He doesn't want to interrogate her. He needs to know what she knows. Hope just wants her to forget. So does Bo but if there's someone else out there they have to find them for their daughter's safety. Hope - that's the most important thing. Bo says they'll talk about this later. He gets up but almost passes out - Hope grabs him. Bo insists he's fine - he just got a little dizzy - let's take Ciara home. Hope isn't letting him leave the hospital until Lexie checks him up - it's non-negotiable. Lexie comes out and tells them Ciara is sleeping - Maxine is with her. Hope tells Lexie that Bo almost passed out - she wants him checked out. Bo argues but to no avail. He goes with Lexie as Roman wheels out Dean. He tells Hope he has to make a call to the Feds. Hope to Dean - How can I ever thank you? Dean tells her not to - he was just doing his job. Hope - You saved my daughter's life. She notices he's in a pain - it's a good thing she was a bad shot. Dean flashes back to shooting himself. Hope tells him to get the counselling the department offers. He will. Roman comes back - they've got nothing that ties her or Bo to either perp. Roman wishes to hell that he knew this thing was over. Hope sees Lexie with Bo - does he have to be admitted? He has a slight concussion. Bo says he promised to come in tomorrow but right now he's going to get their daughter and they're going home. Hope asks Lexie if she's sure he's alright. She wouldn't let him go home if she didn't think it was okay. She hugs Hope and tells her not to worry so much. Bo returns carrying a sleeping Ciara. Ciara calls out in her sleep - Mommy, mommy, no. Hope says she's having a nightmare. As they wait for the elevator Roman wheels a complaining Dean into the waiting room. Roman tells Lexie he thinks Dean could use some painkillers. Dean flicks his lighter open and closed - he'd kill for a smoke right now. As Ciara sleeps there's a flashback to her shaking her head each times Dean flicks the letter - in her sleep she does the same thing.


Cheating Heart: Philip brings Stephanie a beer. She tells him it was really nice of him to treat the volunteers. Philip comments - The celebration lasted what, 6, 7 minutes. Stephanie thinks most of them have children and after what happened to Ciara they just want to be home with them. Philip says now that he's unemployed and untrust-funded he should curb his impulses to say 'it's on me.' Stephanie says she has a good job - we can live very large. Philip picks up on the word 'we' - he thinks she wants them to be a 'we'. She does but the question is can they - they don't exactly have the best track record. Philip - We love each other. That counts for something. Stephanie says they're back to the same old, same old. Our hearts are in the right place but it's up here (she points to her head), that's where we run into problems. She feels guilty - she doesn't want to be the reason he doesn't have a relationship with his father. Philip tells her she isn't. He still has a relationship with his father, it's just not the same kind of relationship. And, this is important, you are not the reason I did what I did. I had to make a change or I wasn't going to be able to live with myself. She points out that he didn't feel that way until she came into the picture. Philip shrugs - he grew up - that's a good thing. He knows that it's going to take time for her to believe that he really did and that's okay. Stephanie says no matter how hard they try and change things and solve their problems some of their problems are completely out of their control. If they have a kid how is she going to explain to him why she's not allowed into his family home - his father blames her for him leaving the family. Philip says that won't happen - he'd be over the moon if they had a kid. Stephanie - Yeah, and he'd try everything he could to get me out of the picture just like he did with Chloe and ... Philip - asks if she is really going to let how his father feels get in the way of them being happy. She's also worried about her family - they're not thrilled either. In different ways the two of them are very much family people - family really matters to us and when it comes to our families, they just don't go together. Philip thinks she's just looking for trouble. She'd say anything she can to keep them apart. She concedes he may be right. She does get scared. She doesn't want to get hurt again but she wasn't being fair 'cause if they love each other their families would just have to deal with it. This isn't about anyone except the two of them. She goes on to say this is a wonderful night. Good news about Ciara and he brought her to the place where they first connected. The thing is she actually has the feeling that there is hope for them this time because despite their differences they're finally being honest with each other. And if they're honest with each other they can get through anything. Philip recalls having sex with Melanie. Maybe honesty is the best way to go. Stephanie asks if something is wrong. He thinks he needs to tell her something. Whatever's happened, if he's hurt her in the past, he promises the past is over. If she gives him a chance he'll do whatever it takes to make her happy - he promises. He means what he said - he swears.


Park - Part 2: Melanie arrives to meet Brady - what's up. He needs her help - actually Chloe needs her help. He was talking with Daniel - he needs help, he's trying to save her. Melanie knows he didn't call her here to pray for Chloe so what can she do for him. Brady says they need to get to Chloe. She tells him there's visiting hours. Brady - It needs to be more private than that. Melanie asks what it is that Dr. Jonas wants. Brady answers - he can help her. Melanie - Into the afterlife? Brady tells her he's sure that Daniel did not poison her. Melanie - What do you need me to do? Brady - We need you to steer us to the right person. Somebody who has enough medical knowledge to take Dr. Jonas's directions but is low profile enough so that nothing will be suspected. Melanie - Like an intern? Brady - Happen to know someone? Melanie - I just might.


Pier: Dan sits on the pier and drinks from a flask. He has a fantasy of Chloe coming to him. They kiss - he wants her to remember that he'd never do this if he didn't love her so much. Chloe - Do what? He can't tell her but he wants her to know that he loves her. She loves him too and she trusts him. More kisses. At the end of the fantasy he mutters - Whatever it takes. A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do. Kate comes along and sees Daniel. He says this is perfect - just the two of us. Kate - You've been drinking. Daniel - Just like it was meant to be.


Park - Part 3: Melanie is now talking to Nathan - You worked with Dr. Jonas. You know he wouldn't poison anyone, especially Chloe - he loves her. Nathan - This is why you called me out of the hospital? This is the matter of life or death? Melanie - It kind of is for Chloe. Please help us. Nathan - Do you have any idea what you're asking me to risk? Melanie - So you're not going to do it. Nathan recalls Kate saying 'there's nothing you can do for her now.' He didn't say that. Melanie urges him to talk to Dr. Jonas. He'll do that.


Preview: Brady to Mia - Is everything okay? Mia - No, not really. Rafe to Ari (Lindsay Hartley!) - I've got to find him. I have to find out exactly what happened. Sami to Nicole - There's something wrong and I have to find out what it is. Kate ripping open Dan's shirt - I have just one question. Where's the wire?
