Summary: SO much going on in this show…I could barely keep up! Shawn begins flashing his newfound money around town…desperate times lead to desperate measures for Bonnie…Patrick presses Hope to go away with him…Billie overhears Steve talking with Kayla…Mimi and Willow butt heads again…it’s a GREAT day for Steve and Kayla fans…but NOT so great for Bo and Hope fans.

At the Lockhart house…Mimi comes home with an armload of books as Bonnie asks her how she likes her new dress. Taking a page from the movie “Liar, Liar” Mimi tells herself that she is going to tell the absolute truth for a week (no matter who it hurts), tells her mother the dress is hideous, hurting Bonnie’s feelings. They argue over money as Bonnie says it’s just been so long since she has had anything new. They talk about how they are both broke…yet, says Mimi, Patrick is loaded. Bonnie’s ears perk up at that and asks what she means, so Mimi proceeds to take out the lock box and show Bonnie the wad of cash Patrick has squirreled away. Mimi fears that Patrick is involved in something bad and suggests that Bonnie talk to him and see what is going on, especially since Bo is watching his every move now. Bonnie refuses to talk to him and Mimi thinks that Bonnie just doesn’t want to know the truth. Mimi says she has to leave to go to work…at her OTHER job…Chez Rouge. As soon as she is gone, Bonnie keeps eying the money. She gets a call from Lauren (the surrogate) telling her she has a problem. Bonnie tells her she will be right over, and grabs the wad of cash and crams it into her purse as she heads out the door.

At the Y…Shawn is showing Willow all the money he has and how he earned it…making deliveries for EJ Wells. He says that now he can prove to everyone that he is capable of taking care of Claire. He talks about getting a new apartment and Willow asks if there will be room for her too. Shawn tells her he hadn’t thought about it but she presses on with her sob story about wanting a real place to live. He tries to explain, but she is offended, saying he doesn’t want to be living with an ex hooker. He feels bad and tells her he doesn’t care what everyone thinks. She says she wasn’t trying to manipulate him, but he ends up caving and says they will look for a place together. She is thrilled as they hug and fall to the bed.

Bo and Hope...are still at the pub (they had been working on notes for Steve). They get a bit caught up in the moment as Bo leans in for a kiss. Hope talks about all the great times and memories they had with Steve and Kayla. She talks about how much things have changed and sometimes it hurts to look back. Bo tells her that there is still hope for them…just as Patrick walks in and Bo glares at him. Hope asks him not to make a scene, and besides, she needs to talk to Patrick. Bo goes to the bar as Patrick says he has been looking for Hope but she hasn’t been returning his calls. She apologizes, saying she was pre-occupied with Steve and Kayla and needs to go back to the hospital. Patrick offers her a ride over and she accepts. She goes to tell Bo, but he has disappeared.

At the Hospital…Steve is keeping watch over Kayla when Billie arrives to see him (he drops the necklace into his pocket and never gives it to her). She promises to come and see him until he gets better and talks about how she can’t wait to touch him. She asks him what is wrong and he tells her that he is just in a lot of pain and worried about Stephanie and how she is taking all this. He feels bad that he can’t help her or Kayla. He tells Billie to go home and get some rest. As she goes to leave, she tells a nurse she is just going to get something to eat, but will be back later. Steve goes back to Kayla’s side and holds her hand.

Later, Hope and Patrick are at the hospital and run into Billie in the hallway. Hope asks her if she liked the necklace as Billie doesn’t have a clue what she is talking about. Hope explains and apologizes for ruining the surprise but Billie is excited to hear that Steve thought of her. Hope takes all the notes she and Bo wrote and gives them to Steve. He is thrilled, thanking her. She tells him that she will keep working on it and write down anything else she remembers. She thinks that maybe there will be something in there as well to jog Steve’s memory. Steve says he hates that he can’t remember Kayla but he vows he will not walk out on her when she needs him most.

Back at the Pub…Shawn meets up with Bo and offers him some money to help repay his debt on the Fancy Face. He brags about how he is going to be making enough money now to handle all his responsibilities. Bo asks just HOW MUCH EJ is paying him to work on cars. Bo thinks there is something more to it than Shawn is letting on, but Shawn sticks to his story. Bo asks him if he sees / hears anything suspicious concerning EJ to please let him know. He tells Shawn to keep his money, the insurance is taking care of the boat. Bo also has an envelope for Shawn from Victor. Shawn doesn’t want it, but Bo convinces him to take it and at least see what it is. So Shawn shoves it in his pocket and leaves.

At Chez Rouge…Willow and Mimi go head to head as Willow brags about Shawn’s new job and how much money he is making. Willow calls Mimi “desperate” for working 2 jobs and Mimi says at least she isn’t selling her body. Willow says that is good, because she would starve to death (lol). Willow brags about how she will be “moving on up” with Shawn, for now they are looking for an apartment together. Mimi doesn’t believe her, but Willow elaborates. Mimi informs her that there is no way Belle will let Claire be around Willow. Willow tells her not to lecture her about her morals…for Mimi is worse…at least she didn’t hurt someone intentionally. Mimi tells her that Shawn’s heart belongs to Belle and once he has Claire back in his life, Belle will follow. Willow says “we’ll see about that” but Mimi tells her that Shawn may be enjoying the sex for now, but she can’t keep him from Claire and Belle and eventually he will kick her to the curb. Later, Shawn arrives and is greeted by Mimi, who tells him that she knows all about him and Willow and that she knows Belle will be thrilled to hear about it as well. He tells Willow he is there to give her a ride home and she thinks that is sweet. She sees the envelope in his pocket and asks about it. He opens it to find a check for $10,000. Willow is all excited about it but he says he is not going to keep it…Victor can’t buy him off (as Mimi listens to all this from around the corner).

Outside the Pub…Bonnie meets up with Lauren. Bonnie begins to butter her up, telling her how beautiful she looks, but Lauren reminds her she is in this for the money…and now, she wants MORE…lots more…due to unforeseen complications. It seems she had to quit her job and that Bonnie is going to have to support her. Bonnie tries to reason with her, but Lauren says she had better come up with the money, or say goodbye to her grandchild. Bonnie pulls the wad of cash out of her purse and asks if that will do. Lauren says it’s a start.

Hope and Patrick go back to his place for a bite to eat and he starts pressing her on an answer about going to Chicago with him. By the look on her face, you can see she has totally forgotten about it and tells him that she can’t go because of family issues. He tells her that the Bradys are not her family anymore and she needs to take care of their baby. She corrects him, telling him that the Bradys will ALWAYS be family and that she is concerned about Kayla. He asks her if he interrupted anything at the pub and she tells him that she and Bo were reminiscing about old times with Kayla and Steve. He continues to push her about their trip and she stalls, but finally tells him yes. Then he wants to know when, but she only says soon. She wants to make sure Kayla is ok first. She finally tells him okay, but he must promise not to tell Bo…he is dealing with a lot right now. He finally promises her he won’t tell (yea right) and wants to make arrangements. He says he wants everything planned out…only the best for her. She tells him not to spend his money on her and he says he has plenty…don’t worry about it. He glances over at the desk and sees the drawer open, then rushes over there, takes out his cash box and sees that all the money is gone.

Back at the hospital…Billie returns to visit Steve and overhears him talking to Kayla (he has his back to the window) telling her he has his memory back and how much he loves her. He tells her that Stephanie was right and he needs her. He begs her to get well and come back to him. With tears in her eyes, Billie turns off the intercom and turns away.

Back at the Pub (I guess)…Bo is lying across the bed in the dark drinking, holding a picture of him and Hope. There is a knock at the door and he opens it to find Billie in tears. He asks her what’s wrong and she tells him that Steve has his memory back. Bo is happy to hear that it worked and tells her that he and Hope were helping him. Billie says she knew this would happen but she wouldn’t listen. She cries on his shoulder talking about how close she and Steve were getting. Bo tells her he knows how she feels and goes on to tell her about Patrick interrupting him and Hope earlier. Bo says maybe he is kidding himself. Billie takes the blame for ruining his marriage but he tells her it’s not her fault as he puts his hand on her shoulder. She turns around and they start kissing as they fall to the bed.

Back at the hospital…Steve flips through the notebook and tells Kayla the memories he thinks she needs to hear. He talks about her giving him a pool cue and them playing for kisses. He begs her to wake up as he continues to flip through the notes and kisses her hand. He talks about Australia and how they went there to rescue Stephanie from nutty Sheila (I don’t have a clue what he is talking about) and then he talks about their favorite song. He wishes he had his harmonica there, he would play it for her. He struggles to remember the words as he begins to hum the tune to “The Rose”. He remembers the last few lines and sings them…

“Just remember in the winter, far beneath the bitters snows…
lies the seed that with the sun’s love…in the spring becomes the rose”…

Camera on Kayla’s face as her eyes flutter open and she turns her head toward him. Shocked look on Steve’s face as he looks at her and says “Kayla?!!”…and the previews show…

There is some goofy guy (it will turn out to be Joshua Fallon) saying to Abby and Maggie: Dune…get ready for the ‘Fallonator’…let’s get jiggy with it…(as he grabs Abby by the arm)…

Kayla (to Steve): I can’t go through this without you…

Patrick (to Hope): I want you to trust me…I will be there for you and the baby…no matter what…

Bo (lying with Billie on the bed): Kind of full circle and being friends again after all these years (as Chelsea watches through the cracked door, smiling)…

And the credits roll…
