CAN STEVE RESCUE HOPE?
Steve's plan to rescue Hope by convincing Ava she's his wife hits a snag this week when Kayla phones her husband, demanding to know what's going on.
"Steve knows he will ned to manipulate the situation to make Ava believe that Hope is of no use to her," sets up Stephen Nichols (Steve), adding that when Steve frinds Hope and embraces her this week. "He whispers in her ear, 'Follow my lead.' The pair pretend they're husband and wife. Then, Steve suggests Ava let 'Kayla' go, since she has him."
No go, Ava insists, "Kayla" stay, because she doesn't trust Steve or his "wife". Then, she suggests a quiet dinner for two with Steve, gives him a passionate kiss and sends "Kayla" off with a guard.
"Steve absolutely goes along with whatever Ava has planned," asserts Nichols. "He is looking for any opportunity to get Hope out."
Meanwhile, the real Kayla, who's been admitted to the hospital, confronts Stephanie about what's going on with her dad. Stephanie admits that Steve's old girlfriend is back in town, determined to get him back. A stunned Kayla grabs the phone.
Back at the compound, Steve and "Kayla" stage a huge fight, hoping Ava will buy they're through and let Hope go. When Steve's cell phone rungs, Ava orders him to answer it, which aiming a gun at Hope. It's the real Kayla, demanding answers.
"Steve tries to day things that will blow Kayla off, but in such a way that won't be too suspecting to her," says Nichols. "He feigns anger and throws the phone, smashing it. He tells Ava it was a real estate agent who wouldn't take no for an answer."
Will Ava fall for that sub-prime excuse?
