A Little Action In The Bouncy House

We pan in to Ciara's big birthday party in the park. Ciara shows off her new princess dress. The torch has been passed.

As she opens her presents, Ciara asks, "Waitaminute, wasn't I born in December? "

Bo snarls, "Shuddap and eat your damn cake."

Nathan shows up and immediately gets the little urchin off screen. Hope turns to Bo, "Your mom was right. This really was a great idea."

Out of nowhere, Bo says, "Yeah. Maybe you and I can head over there later and see if we can have a little action in the bouncy house."

"The bouncy house," Hope repeats as she tries to make sense of that, "Yes, I've always thought you belonged in a room with rubber walls."

Meanwhile, a creep stands behind a bush and watches. He looks at a picture of Ciara.

Phillip and Stephanie are together at the Horton cabin. Phillip wants a proper goodbye, "I will always love you."

"I will always love you," says Stephanie.

"So that settles it," says Stephanie, "We have to split up."

A woman in the audience turns to her neighbor, "Did she say 'split up' or 'spit up?'"

Her friend says, "They're going to split up. I'm going to spit up."

Melanie cheers for Phillip and Stephanie from the peanut gallery. Brady walks up behind her, "What are you doing?"

Chris bounces in, "Kate I'm late – there was an accident." Kate tells him to sit and shows him the disaster that is Hearth and Home TV. She thinks the talent is too tense. Kate says she thinks Daniel has a thing for Chloe.

"What went down," asks Chris

"Chloe."

Daniel hands Maxine his letter of resignation to give to Lexie. Maxine refuses and tells him to do it himself.

Lexie is in Chloe's room. She asks if something happened between Chloe and Daniel. "Keep him away from me," wails Chloe. She drifts off.

Melanie tells Brady she's just out there working on her sunburn. Brady figures out what she's up to with Phillip and Stephanie. They both watch as the drama continues. They also watch what's going on inside the cabin. Phillip moves in and kisses her.

Abe and Theo show up at the birthday party. Caroline greets them as Hope runs up and practically stuffs cupcakes down their throats. Abe thanks Hope for the check she wrote to the autism charity. Hope protests that it was supposed to be anonymous. Caroline and Hope get Theo off screen as fast as they can.

Bo turns to Abe, "Ciara calls Theo her best boyfriend. Tell him to keep his lecherous mitts off my daughter until they're both at least 30." Abe asks about Bo and Hope's relationship. "Oh," says Bo, "You're talking about the vision I had of Hope cavorting. That was a false alarm. Hope has been known to cavort, but not this time." He also tells Abe the visions are still happening.

Chris asks, "Why should Daniel be resigning? Regis and Kelly have their moments and Regis doesn't have Daniel's cute little chin dimple."

Kate says she's kind of glad Daniel is leaving so she doesn't have to fire him. Chris thinks Chloe is lucky to have a guardian angel like Kate.

Lexie says, "I'm going to give you something to relax you. I'm so glad medical marijuana is legal in this state."

Chloe continues to insist she doesn't want Daniel treating her, "This isn't about Daniel the doctor – it's about Daniel the man."

As Lexie leaves she bumps into Daniel and tells him he can't go in.

Phillip and Stephanie's kiss continues. Brady compliments Melanie's matchmaking skills. She claims to be 2 for 2. Brady bursts her bubble and says his relationship with Arianna flopped. Melanie vows not to give up. Brady tells her to get lost, "Why are you doing this? What's in this for you?"

Stephanie backs off. Phillip grovels. He refuses to let her go.

Kate and Chris arrive at Maggie's, where Maggie and the ever-hunky Jed are waiting for them. Kate immediately gets a call and leaves. Chris descends on Jed like a moon lander with no retro rockets, "The ratings are taking a dive my Jedi Knight. Down-down-down. Oops... they didn't tell you? Well, I might as well let you in on the secret since you'll find out anyway. The hunky doctor quit the show."

Maggie hears that and practically breaks a leg running across the room for more info. Chris fills them in, "It seems the doctor turned our hostess into madam sourpuss so it's 'Dr. Daniel... take a hike!'"

Daniel hands Lexie an envelope, "I need to give you something... my letter of resignation."

Lexie is stunned but Daniel tells her things just aren't working.

Inside, Chloe flashes back to hot times with Dan the man. She moans over and over, "Lucas... you love Lucas."

Melanie insists she's over Phillip and just wants to see Phillip and Stephanie happy, "Is that so hard to believe? I just Hope this works."

Phillip makes his case. He begs for another chance. Stephanie stands her ground. She stomps out and Phillip follows. Outside Stephanie scolds Melanie for arranging this.

Back at the party, Abe grills Bo about his visions. Bo explains, "Zack warned me if Ciara lost her teddy something bad would happen. So we packed Tommy Bear away in a closet. There wouldn't have been enough room for him in there, but fortunately Chris came out of it a long time ago." Hope joins them.

The creep watches as Nathan plays with the kids.

Melanie apologizes, but Stephanie takes a powder. Brady drags Phillip inside and warns him not to pressure Stephanie.

Melanie catches Stephanie and asks her to stay.

Kate comes back into Maggie's kitchen and explains that Daniel asked to be let out of his contract. Kate and Jed leave. Maggie immediately pounces on Chris for details.

Lexie does a rubber hose job on Daniel. He insists there are no extenuating circumstances, "It is just time for me to move on before the authorities figure out what I'm doing to my female patients." Lexie can't give her blessing. Daniel says she can't talk him out of it and walks off.

Lexie goes back into Chloe's room and whispers, "This has something to do with you, Chloe... what?" Apparently, Lexie has trouble with math. After hearing this is not about Dan the doctor, but it's about Dan the man, she still can't put two and two together.

Stephanie reminisces about the ro-co's Kayla used to take her to see, "Even if you're madly in love with someone, if you don't believe in the same things, it's just not gonna work."

"What do you believe in," asks Melanie.

"Well," says Stephanie, "For one thing, I believe there is absolutely nothing wrong with being a serial slut."

Back inside, Brady pounds on Phillip, "Insanity is when you keep doing the same thing over and over and expect different results."

"I know," says Phillip, "I keep watching DOOL over and over and expect a good show. That's totally insane. But I can't lose her. I can't."

Brady says, "Don't give up. Just try harder and eventually you will be able to lose her."

Stephanie says she realizes Melanie's heart was in the Right place and leaves. Phillip watches from the window as Brady comes out. Brady and Melanie discuss their mass failure. Brady leaves. Melanie goes inside and finds Phillip shaking his head.

Nathan walks in on Daniel cleaning out his locker. Daniel looks at Nathan's face, "Are you moonlighting as a circus clown?"

"Yes," says Nathan, "It's a step up from acting on DOOL." Nathan cleans off his face and says he was at a kid's birthday party. He asks Daniel about his resignation and also asks why. Daniel just tells him it's time for a change. Nathan wishes him luck as Daniel fades into the sunset.

Daniel wanders through the waiting area and contemplates what might have been. He stares at Chloe's door and flashes back to Chloe telling him it's over.

Inside, Chloe sleeps as Daniel comes in. She wakes up and gasps, "You're not supposed to be here."

"I'm not letting anyone keep me from you."

"We can't be together."

"You fell in love," says Daniel, "There is nothing wrong with that."

"You can't be a part of my life," says Chloe, "I couldn't handle cheesy dialog like this for a lifetime."

Suddenly, Chloe wakes up shouting, "NO! NO! NO!"

Lexie watches and wonders, "What did you do to her, Daniel?"

Melanie says, "Go ahead. Cuss me out for what I did." Phillip tells her he knows she meant well. He realizes it's finally over.

Chris doesn't want to tell Maggie what's going on. He gets a call from Kate and whispers into the phone, "Nosy Nellie wants to know all the backstage drama. Don't worry, I didn't tell her anything."

Kate gives him permission to tell, "Just keep my name out of it." She hangs up, "You're a perfect accomplice, Chris."

Lexie mumbles, "Whatever is causing your illness is deliberately eluding us."

Daniel is back at his apartment. He looks over at a shelf, "What's that doing here?"

Bo and Hope pack up and dump the girls on Ellen. Tracy runs off and Ellen chases. Mr. Creepo descends on Ciara. He tells her it's his birthday too. Ciara tells him she can't talk to strangers. "We're not strangers," says Mr. Creepo, "We're birthday buddies." He gives her a sucker.

Daniel finds a shirt sitting on top of his shelf unit and flashes back to Chloe wearing only the shirt. We pan up from the vile vial as Daniel caresses the shirt.

Chloe again dreams Daniel is there, "You're not supposed to be here." Kate shushes her and says she came as soon as she heard Chloe was sick.

Melanie suggests Phillip write Stephanie a letter. Phillip thinks that would turn her off even more.

Stephanie is at the hospital for orientation. Her phone rings and Brady says he wants to make sure she's OK. "I have a lot on my mind," says Stephanie, "And vacuums don't support much. I don't want to talk about Phillip ever again." She thanks him for checking and hangs up.

Brady wonders, "Stephanie, why don't I believe you?"

Ciara takes the sucker. Creepo says he has enough of those that it could be her birthday every day. Ciara says she would like that. He tells her to have fun and leaves. The crowd comes back. Ciara tells Hope her friend gave her the sucker. Clueless Hope smiles as she unwraps it, "That was very sweet, wasn't it?"

Phillip rationalizes that maybe he shouldn't be with Stephanie. He thanks Melanie for trying and suggests they get out of there. Melanie protests, "But the ferry doesn't come for another two hours." Little Lord Fauntleroy makes a phone call and orders his speedboat to come and pick them up. Melanie gives him an "I could get used to this" smile.

Stephanie stumbles into the doctors' locker room and sobs her heart out. Nathan finds her and gets curious. She thanks him for being concerned and they share a big hug. Selfless Nathan to the rescue.

Chris squeaks, "So there has been this tension between them. I think the good doctor should look at the opportunity. I mean, Look what Oprah did for Dr. Phil."

Empathetic Kate questions Chloe and assures her the docs are doing everything they can. Chloe says she doesn't want Daniel treating her. Kate agrees, "Having your ex-lover treat you isn't appropriate."

"But he treated you," says Chloe.

"Don't confuse my mind with facts," says Kate, "I shouldn't have forced you to work together."

"I can't do it any more," whines Chloe.

Kate promises, "That's not going to be your problem."

Daniel obsesses over the shirt. He wanders, huffs and grunts, "You can do this as long as Chloe is happy and all right." We pan to the vile vial.

Chloe tells Kate she's feeling better. Kate tells her Daniel has quit the show, "After the next taping you will never have to see him again. Never."

Chloe gives us that cute little vacant, bovine stare of hers.
