At the club, Daniel's answering numerous questions (how and how long he's knows)- Vikki and Billy are Lucy's parents - but she's HIS daughter. Getting a text from Billy, Abby reports both kids are OK. Slumping onto the bottom stair, Daniel runs hands through his hair; a mixture of relief and 'what the hell now'.
The Abbott's and Chloe racing into the church - yanking the girls into tight hugs, the Murphy's assure both are fine (as per the ETM's exiting),
On the patio, Chance is unaware that the crisis is over - a woman with two kids was spotted boarding a bus. Heather sympathizes (knowing what Delia means to Chance).
Inside CL's, Phyllis is updated by the Baldwin's (on Gloria's arrest - and why). Oh the horror (that Gloria was right). Lauren now realizes they shoulda cut Jana loose a long time ago.
Back at the dreary daycare, Jana's all onboard with starting a family with Kevin. Unity for a girl, Echo for a boy. Sure that Kevin's once again tricking her, Jana refuses to put the gun away. And get comfy - this is their new home.
Back at the club, Daniel explains why he couldn't tell anyone (and risk Lucy's great home with the Abbott's). Knowing it must have been terrible to keep that secret, Lily appearing (seen the news?), Abby realizes Daniel confided in her.
Delia's unable to shed much light on Jana's plans (though both Chloe and Billy are disturbed to learn that she's with - not looking for - Kevin).
Kevin lists the reasons they can't stay where they are - but a weepy Jana remembers a time SHE was all he needed to be happy). If only you'd taken me back, she weeps. Kevin was afraid to trust the girl of his dreams again - the first woman who 'got' him. Their love is once in a life time - give 'us' another chance. As a sign of good faith, put the gun down.
While Billy seethes about the unstable Kevin being behind this, Chloe asks the Murphy's to get Delia settled in the car (she'll be out in a minute). Vikki holding Lucy, Chloe warns Billy not to take the blame off himself (and onto Kevin). Jana could have done something to him. Billy stands firm - Kevin once tried to kill his niece (and hasn't changed). Then why hire Jana (who did time for murder)? Clip clopping out, Chloe will let Billy know when he can see Delia. At Vikki's request, Billy then takes her and Lucy home.
Back at the club, Abby's pissed that Daniel confided in Lily (over her) What does that say about their relationship? Lily's explanation just makes things worse for Daniel (who needed to confide in someone not emotionally attached).
Still at CL's, Phyllis apologizes to the Baldwin's - they agree to disagree over Daniel letting Daisy go. But Phyllis will only be happy once the baby's find. Feeling helpless, she's tormented over her safety. Calling Mike, Chloe updates that the kids are OK - meet me at the mausoleum (she's worried about Kevin). He may be mixed up in this - but not by choice.
Kevin talks about love - quoting their vows. He remembers it all (the best day of Jana's life). If only he could have the Jana he loved back. Oh, where's that way-back machine, Jana wails. Kevin wants to start a new future - an even better one. A second honeymoon - let's do it. Jana starts screeching (having had enough of his bloody lies).
As Kay clucks in the background, Ester and Jill gush over Delia (who finally gets Pinkerton back). Mike arriving, the Murphy's deny he'd have anything to do with it. Chloe's sure HE convinced Jana to let the girls go. If he's such a good boy, Jill wonders where he is. Chloe's afraid Jana hurt him - can Mike do something? As he goes to make some calls, Chance gets a hug from Delia. Chloe's afraid for Kevin - something's really wrong.
Pacing - gun still in hand, Jana wonders what to do with Kevin (while she goes to buy supplies). No - she's NOT turning herself in (OR letting him go). If they stay together - here - Jana's sure he'll fall in love with her - everything will be perfect.
Lucy back in her crib, Vikki wonders what did Billy meant earlier (that he was the reason Jana took the girls). Billy can't like anymore - people are figuring it out. They didn't actually adopt Lucy. The documents are all fake. I bought her - on the black market. Vikki's shocked by the last bomb - Daisy and Daniel are Lucy's real parents.
Billy addresses Vikki's stunned denial - Daisy gave birth in GC (then goes on to explain how much having a baby meant to Vikki). Doubting they'd be considered adoptive parents, Billy asked around - found a baby broker. etc. etc. Daniel won't try to take her - Daisy won't find out. Vikki reminds that she didn't want to fall in love with this baby (who Billy placed in her arms and promised she was theirs). The 'adoption' was illegal!? What's WRONG with you!? Go - get out!
Still with Abby, Daniel gets a call from Billy (who asks him to come reassure Vikki). Yeah - Daniel can do that. Gotta go, Daniel's attempt at a kiss is rejected by Abby. Abby alone, Lily comes over - don't be angry at Daniel - he didn't want to put you in an awkward position. Abby's NOT receptive - Daniel might be OK discussing personal stuff with Lily - but she is NOT (and so clip clops off).
When Heather arrives at the mausoleum, Mike asks her to call some connections on the DA's office (though she's sure the cops are doing all they can). It's not Jana Mike's worried about - it's Kevin. Chance chiming in to say Paul's on it, Heather will see what she can do. A tray of cookies handed out, Kay, Ester and Jill all find themselves sniffling onto Kleenex (then chuckling).
At CL's, Lauren's afraid that finding the baby will bring Daisy back. Phyllis understands her fear - but this is her son's child. If this were Scotty .... Phyllis KNOWS Lauren would feel the same way. She too HOPES the child is in a loving home - but isn't sure. I want her back.
Kay doesn't need Chloe to convince HER that Kevin's not involved - she's his biggest fan.Too bad the club's so small, Chloe pouts - everyone else thinks the worst of him. Billy thinks no one changes (which makes even Jill chuckle at the irony). We WILL find them, Chloe's assured.
Heather updates Mike - there's an APB out on Kevin (as an accomplice). She then tattles to Mike that he's a 'bag man' for the mob.
Daniel doesn't want the baby - why take her from a good home? Lauren reasons. But - Phyllis is sure SHE and Daniel would get parental rights (which would enable her to make up for the years she lost with Daniel) The TV news then alerts all that the kids have been found (while Jana and Kevin are still on the run).
When Daniel arrives, Billy shares Vikki's fear - that he'll take Lucy away (or Daisy will). Talk to her - tell Vikki that no one will take her little girl away.
And where does Kevin think he's going? Jana's no sleeping - she's meditating (looking for an answer from the universe). Knowing Kevin's claustrophobic, Jana thinks the best way to 'break' him - is to force him into the closet. Don't do this, Kev pleads. Threatened with death, Kevin thinks this hardly the way to get him to fall back in love with Jana (who locks him inside anyway).
Abby drops by the church to whine to God about Daniel's secret. The biggest problem is him telling Lily. She's amazing (not a spoiled prima donna). Lily beat cancer - her husband's death - raising kids alone - beautiful and genuine - a woman of substance - how can Abby compete with that?
Daniel assures Vikki that he'd never take Lucy away - he couldn't pick a better home (or parents). He never wanted to be a father (even after holding the baby). Offering to sign legal papers, Daniel leaves Vikki to cry over the crib.
Chloe's further alarmed when Lauren arrives to update that Jana and Kevin are BOTH suspects. Eying the skeptical Heather, Mike assures Chloe that he'll take care of it.
Don't feel guilty - he'll be fine, Jana mutters to herself - you will love me again Kevin. Inside the closet, Kevin's also muttering to himself - nothing to be afraid of - he'll be with Chloe (and Delia) soon. He then bounces a happy face ball against the wall to pass time.
No sooner has Daniel updated Billy (that he offered to sigh papers), Phyllis arrives - what's Daniel doing here?
Next: Coming down, Lucy in her arms, Vikki asks Phyllis and Daniel - what are you doing here? What do you want? ... At the club, Angelo seems puzzled by Mike - Are you asking if I hurt the kid? Or are you asking for my help? .. What are doing?! Kevin shouts at Jana (who, gun in hand, says - we're gonna go on a field trip).
My Thoughts: Chloe will TELL Billy when he can see Delia next? I thought they had joint custody (which usually schedules visitation for both parents) ... Even though she's right - Chloe has some nerve lecturing Billy about Jana's charges for murder (given Kevin's extensive criminal record) .. Odd that with everything that's going on at St Mary's, the Reverend didn't come out to see what was up .... Jana and Kevin nowhere to be found, a man hunt on - why isn't the TV news on at the mausoleum? (which woulda saved Lauren the trip)... Sharon should be grateful - she's been knocked off the front page news ... What happened to Chance being afraid of all the 'others' in the corrupt cop/drug ring? I guess he's decided not to go back into the witness protection program? (which is odd - since he made it sound like he'd only stay in GC if he had a future with Heather) I thought her 'I'm not in love with you' was pretty clear ... A woman was seen getting on a bus with 2 kids? Big deal? I'm sure there's many mother's taking kids on Easter vacation trips .... Odd that Abby's only question was - how long has Daniel known - she didn't seem at all curious as to WHY Daniel came to this conclusion ... and why is Abby so insecure when it comes to Lily? If Daniel's so opposed to having one baby (his OWN), why on earth would he take on two (that aren't even his)? Lily may be genuine - a woman of substance - but Abby's a woman of substantial wealth ... Knowing that SHE'S the only one Daniel's confided in, couldn't Lily have been a bit more discreet? (seeing that Daniel was with Abby, perhaps she coulda summoned him over to the bar with a text message) ..... Why does Billy feel they wouldn't be considered as adoptive parents? Sure Vikki lost custody of Reed - but Billy's only crime is being a playboy (and surely, the 1.5 billion Vikki won would make things a bit easier) And if the Abbott's wouldn't be considered good candidates - what chance would Phyllis have? ... Note Phyllis itching her head like the 'before' in a Head n Shoulders commercial. Kinda gross - especially in the middle of a coffee shop ... Unity and Echo? Yeah - those are GREAT names Jana. Where did she get a gun anyway? You'd think given her past crimes she'd have a hard time obtaining weapons .... I understand that Vikki's distraught - but couldn't she have mustered up a 'thank you' for Daniel? (who's just offered to sign over parental rights to his firstborn child) ..... Where exactly IS Jana anyway? There seems to be an awful lot of deserted places in GC. The 'dreary daycare' looks exactly like the off campus house Jack rented to Devon and Lily.
