A week off for the students is the time for the students to hang out with family or plan a sleepover with they're friends. For Danny however it means another nightmare. We see Danny tossing and turning in his room having another one of his "nightmares"
"D-danny...you okay?" asked a young Jo who was talking to her now former friend Lacey who was sitting on the swing
"I-i d-don't know" he says. Both girls spotted the familiar jumprope he was holding tightly
"W-what happened?" Lacey asked. Just as he did he wakes up catching his breath. Looking around realizing it was just a dream. He slowly begins to breath back to normal
"J-just a dream"
"Danny...Jo's here" Yells Karen from downstairs. Danny looked at the time on the clock as it read almost noon. He forgot he had made plans with Jo to come up with a plan to get their parents together for a dinner date...even though they both know how that's going to go. He runs a hand through his hair taking a deep breath
"I'll be down in a few ma" He says beginning to get out of bed. And change clothes
"Make yourself at home Jo. C-can i get you anything?" Karen asked but Jo shook her head
"No thanks...w-well actually,maybe you can"
"What is it?"
"How would you like to come over for dinner one night...you and Danny"
"Oh, honey, i don't...im not sure" she says knowing how awkward
"Not sure about what?" a shaken Danny asked coming downstairs looking at them
"Oh, Jo invited us to dinner..."Karen begins to say as Danny looks at Jo
"You asked her? I thought we were going to wait?"
"I know...i just thought"
"Something i need to know about?"Karen asked looking at them both wondering what's going on
"Well..."
"it's nothing really. But Jo and i thought it would be nice to have the family get together..."Danny tries to explain but Karen still has second thoughts
"I-i'll think about it okay? she asked looking at them. Both of them nod in agreement
"You ready to go?"Jo asked noticing he's still a little pale. Danny nods his head
"All set...we'll see you later. Bye ma" Danny says giving her a kiss. She smiles watching them leave the house. She sighs before walking over to the photos in the front hallway and picks one of her, Tess, Gloria and Judy...
"A long time ago..." she says placing the photo back down
"Are you okay?" Jo asked as they were walking down the park heading towards the diner
"Y-yeah, why wouldn't i?"
"It's just...f-forget it"
"Jo...come on. It's me...we don't keep secrets remember"
"it's not really a secret...more of a concern. You seemed a little out of it when you came downstairs"
"O-oh that?..."
"Now, look who's calling the kettle black" Jo says making them chuckle. Danny opens the door as they walked in spotting Rico already there and sits down
"That's becoming a bad habit sometimes you know that?"
"Hey..."Rico says chuckling as he closes the book looking at them
"We haven't bored your yet have we?"
"Oh course not...what gave you that idea?" he replied
"So...before we were rudely interrupted last time...how are we going to figure out somebody else killed Regina?"
"Were working on that...Danny...tell him"
"Tell me what?"
"There is one common link between the murder"
"Which is?"
"The necklace..."
"Are we going to be speaking in riddles all day?" Rico asked making them chuckle
"Sorry. Look...the same necklace Regina was wearing the night of the party"
"Yeah?"
"Belonged to my Aunt Tara" Danny says making Rico gasp
"You think they're connected?"
"It could be yeah"Jo chimed in
"So,what happens now?" Rico asked wondering
"We need to try to figure out who gave her the necklace"
"Im guessing that's where the stuck part comes in? Why don't you ask Lacey?" Rico ask Jo who scoffs
"In case you haven't figured out Rico...we're not exactly besties..."
"It couldn't hurt to ask or try to pretend right?"
"Rico's right...if we want to find out. We need to do something maybe this is the best way?" Danny thought. Jo sighs wondering if there was any other way. Meanwhile, Karen was seen walking out and about in town until Tess spotted her and catches up
"Karen?" says a voice. Karen stops turning around spotting Tess who stops catching her breath
"Sorry...how are you?"
"Okay...you missed Jo. She's"
"Out with Danny...i know. It's great to see them together like this...it seems like"
"Old times..." they both said together before letting out a small chuckle
"Yeah,oh, i guess the kids want to have a dinner get- together one day" Karen says making Tess look at her in shock
"Really? That's news to me. What did you say?"
"I actually haven't given my honest answer yet. I figured it would be awkward with your..." Karen begins to say as Tess chuckled
"Why don't we...have the dinner i mean. If the kids can pretend nothing happened, why can't we?" Tess asked
"I-if you want to...i don't see why not" Karen says beginning to look around spotting the locals whispering at one another
"Great...so, how about we get together tomorrow night?" she asked looking around beginning to feel uncomfortable
"Yeah,i got to get going. It was good talking to you Tess" Karen says leaving in a hurry. Tess sighs before walking away. Back at the diner just as Jo, Danny and Rico were going to leave they spot Archie, Lacey and the boys walking in
"Socio...still walking around"
"Guess they haven't locked me up yet" Danny says with a smirk
"Everything's a big damn joke to you huh Socio?"
"Archie...come on" Lacey says trying to step in
"No...actually its not. All im doing is trying to live my life man"
"As a criminal? Your doing a hell of a job with that"
"Yeah, with you being a pain in my ass..."
"What did you say freak?"
"Archie...leave him alone" Lacey says holding him back
"Its fine Lacey...you don't need to help" Danny says
"We're just leaving" Jo says staring at Lacey grabbing Danny by the arm pushing him out of the diner
"What?" he asked looking at her
"You need to cool it Danny"
"Me? He's the one who starts it"
"What are you two?"
"Jo...come on you see how we get"
"I know...but at least try to be friendly to him. We need to find out more about Regina"
"I'll tell you what. If you can be nice to Lacey...i'll try not to kill Archie...deal?" Danny asked putting his hand out. Jo chuckles shaking her head before sighing
"Fine...deal. But if anything happens all bets are off"
"Fine"
"Do you need me to walk you home?"
"Nah, i'll be fine"
"You sure? You never know what kind of weirdo's lurk in the darkness"
"Oh, yeah that helped me feel so much better" she says chuckling as Danny does to. They said they're goodbye before walking home minutes later
"There is no way Tess" says the voice of Kyle. He just found out that Tess invited the whole family over for dinner at the Desai's tomorrow night
"Why not? It could be fun" Tess says making Kyle scoff. "Fun" going over to a murderer's house is not my idea of fun...he thought to himself. Just then the door opened and Jo made her way inside
"Everything okay?" Jo asked as Tess smiles greeting her daughter home
"No,because your mother invited us to have dinner over the Desai's. Tess, we're not going"
"Dad come on"
"Kyle, we're going and that's final. Your just going to suck it up"
"Do you know what will happen to my career if they find out?"
"So, you care more about your career than anything else that matters?" Jo says rolling her eyes. But before Kyle could say anything Jo arrived upstairs having enough of him and went upto her room. Kyle sighs as does Tess before looking at him
"Nice going...don't bother coming to bed tonight..." Tess says before heading upstairs herself. Kyle groans in frustration
"Nice going Kyle"
"Jo...you okay?" Tess asked knocking on the door. Jo sits on the bed sighing
"It's open" she says. Tess smiles before entering the door. She closes the door but it stayed open a little bit. Tess made her way over to the bed sitting beside her
"You okay?"
"Not really..."
"You know im here if you wanna talk?"
"I know. It's just mostly..."
"Danny? Right?" Tess asked as Jo nods her head. Kyle made his way upstairs to get a few things before hearing voices and walks up to the open door
"Yeah, why does Dad hate him so much?"
"I don't know honey...i wish i knew but i don't...he's just trying to protect you"
"Yeah, he's doing a great job of that so far"
"Honey, you know he means well...it's just he takes his work home with him a lot. He forgets" Tess says as Kyle begins to walk back downstairs
"I know...i just wish he could get to know Danny like i have"
"He will...now get to bed young lady...we got a big day ahead of us" Tess says helping her into bed. She gives her a kiss before walking out of the room closing the door as it fades
