Steve tracks down the Britta look-alike who met with Bo and learns she provided Bo with bogus information from an unknown employer. The woman, Claudia, supplies Steve with the phone number she gave Bo. An optimistic Steve calls Kayla and says he's on the right track. At the same time, Bo almost escapes from his cell, but a guard thwarts his attempt and the "boss" orders him to be moved. Hope asks Kayla to be her matron of honor, and Kayla accepts. Their conversation turns to Bo, and Kayla can't help but wonder if Steve is right - maybe Bo is in trouble. Hope insists Bo is just fine. He made his choice when he left, and she has made hers - Aiden. Stefano summons Aiden and calls him on stealing a check. Aiden denies it, but Stefano says they are through. He's not getting one dime. He also fires him off of Chad's case. Furious, Aiden threatens to tell Hope about their collusion, but Stefano knows Aiden won't do it - he's fallen in love with Hope, and she really is the only option Aiden has left. Later, Aiden sees the loan shark talking to Chase and he freaks. Rattled, he goes to Hope and admits he needs to make a confession. Earlier, Stefano is dismayed when Andre returns to town, reminding him no one in Salem knows he's alive. Andre insists he wants to help Stefano. Adrienne receives startling news about her mother's health and goes to see Kayla. On the way, she runs into Lucas, who tells her he thinks she's making a big mistake going back to Justin. Eve meets with Eduardo regarding Paige's funeral arrangements. She rips into him, revealing she knows about his other family. Justin comes to her aid, and Eduardo goes.
