Decisions and realizations
Back at the Pub, the group looks at a quiet Belle waiting for her to state why she's here.
"Belle, what did Chloe say?" Hope asks.
"According to Chloe, Stephanie seemed very agitated and on edge whenever Chloe mentioned the past. Chloe did say that Stephanie beamed every time they talked about any of you, but when Kayla was brought up, Stephanie got very defensive, like she hated her mom." Belle stated. Roman and Bo both look at each other concerned.
"We've got to let her be around people that she loves." Grandpa Shawn states with an element of concern in his voice.
"Hope and I are gonna let her stay with us." Bo states.
"Good son. I will give Kayla a call a little later." Caroline states as Bo gets up to give someone a call.
"Tell me what you think of how she acts Ma." Roman says and Caroline nods her head in agreement.
"What do you mean how she acts? Naturally, my sister-in law would be concerned about her daughter." Jack states.
"Well, when I called her before, she didn't seem concerned at all that Steph ran away." Roman responds.
"That doesn't seem like her at all." Grandpa Shawn says.
"That is why Bo is so worried." Hope adds.
"So, we just play this out and see what happens?" Shawn asks as Belle takes his hand. Jen looks at her cousin's son.
"That's all we can do at this point honey." Jen replies.
Bo meanwhile is over by the entrance to the pub on his cell phone. "Yeah Steph, you can come back to Salem. Hope and I will have a room ready for you at our place. Call me when you have your flight info. I love you kiddo. Bye." He hits end on his cell phone and heads back to the table. "I just spoke to Stephanie. She's thrilled to come home and I told her to call with her flight information."
"Good. Let's hope that when she comes we can get some answers." Hope replies as Lexie and Abe Carver enter into the Pub with their son Theo. Then they all head over to the big table of people.
"Is this a secluded part or can anyone join in?" Lexie asks. Everyone says their hellos and Jen stands next to her close friend. Bo looks at the two teenagers at the table.
"Shawn, don't you and Belle have classes to get to?" Bo asks. Shawn and Belle both look down at their watches.
"Yeah, that's right. I can't believe how late it is." Belle states. They both get up from the table.
"Yeah, and we both take the hint that it's adult time. Dad, call me with Steph's flight information?" Shawn answers.
"Of course we will." Hope states as Shawn hugs both of his parents. The two say their good-byes and leave the Pub. Lexie and Abe sit in their places.
"I heard Bo mention Stephanie. That's a name I haven't heard in a while." Lexie states.
"My niece, Steve and Kayla's daughter, is coming back to Salem." Jack states. The rest of the table looks at each other a little concerned.
Back at Basic Black, Marlena and John are still talking about John's phone call with Shane.
"Shane told me that both Stephanie and Jeannie are now fully trained ISA operatives and that Shane was the one to do it." John states.
"WHAT! Really???" Marlena replies startled.
"Yeah, and after the recent attacks on Bo and Hope as well as the threats on Abe, Shane thinks that we could use the extra set of hands and I said fine." John answers.
"Wow! I haven't seen them since they were babies." John nods in agreement.
"So, what brings you by?"
"I wanted to see you before I left for Colorado and to see Belle." Marlena says.
"Well, Belle's got classes right now, but will I do? I want to say good-bye to you too." They both hug and kiss.
