Hope told the others that she felt bad leaving Julie so soon. She’s grateful that her sister had people there to support her. Shifting gears, Hope asked if they knew anything about Doug III. Roman knew her father had a son, but he didn’t hear anything about him for years. Hope didn’t like how Julie invited him to her house. For some reason, she didn’t trust the stranger. Hope wanted to check out his story before she left town. She was going to reach out to Charles. The first things he did was reach out to Harris and told him Charles’ number. Hope reached out to Charles to talk about Doug III. After their conversation, she promised to meet him one day. Charles confirmed everything about Doug III saying that he recently told him about the family. It made sense to Hope, so she finally believed the story. She wondered what his agenda was. Roman promised to look out for Julie. After the conversations, Hope said goodbye Roman and Kayla. Jack comforted Jennifer, and she told him that she was worried about Chad and JJ dealing with Clyde. Their family dealt with so much loss. Jennifer couldn’t handle it if something happened to JJ. Jack assured her that JJ would be okay. He said that JJ and Chad needed to do this for Abby. They needed to believe that the boys would get the job done.
Doug III looked at the pictures on the mantle and took out the necklace. He stared at it and thought about overhearing the family talk about the necklace. Julie walked in the room and wondered what he was doing. Doug III slipped the necklace back in his pocket before she saw it. He told her that he was looking at pictures. Julie was sorry he didn’t get to know Hope and her kids. She told him that Ciara opened the time capsule and wanted to show him the necklace. Julie opened the capsule and saw that the necklace was gone. Jennifer returned to the Horton house, and Julie asked her about the necklace. She broke the news to her cousin that the necklace was stolen. No one wanted to upset her, but they didn’t call the police yet. Everyone thought Steven was the person who did it. Julie didn’t believe her brother would take the necklace. She was convinced he changed. Jennifer wondered who else could have done it if it wasn’t Steven. Doug III looked on while they were talking. Julie didn’t know, but she was convinced no one they knew did it. Someone had to break in while they were at the memorial for Doug. He flashed back to taking the necklace during the memorial. Doug III volunteered that Steven rushed out of Salem and enjoyed climbing through windows. Jennifer received a text from Jack saying that he needed her. She left to meet with Jack. Doug III checked on Julie to see if she was okay. She told him that she wasn’t. Julie refused to believe that her brother was a thief. He assured her that he was there for her. Hope walked in the Horton house to see Julie. She wanted to say goodbye. Julie started crying when she realized Hope was going to be with Bo. Hope assured her that her father loved her. You could feel the love all around. Julie hoped she felt his love too. Hope told her that she felt his love too. They assured each other that they would be okay. Before Hope left, she warned him not to hurt Julie. If he did, their next meeting wouldn’t be friendly. Steve met with Jack, and they talked about JJ. Jack was worried about him. Steve called in some favors from the ISA to track down Clyde. Cat had a nightmare that Clyde killed her mother. Chad comforted her to help her feel better. She pulled away from him and apologized for it. Chad told her they should focus on bringing Clyde to justice and getting Abby’s remains. Cat admitted that she had feelings for him and went along with Clyde’s plan because she wanted to save her mother. He didn’t want to hear anymore because there was no justification for what she did. She didn’t know what to do because she still had feelings for him. JJ and Gabi arrived with the letter from Clyde. The group realized they had to change their plan to get Clyde. They had to find a way to turn the tables on him. Cat and Clyde decided to go to the club where Clyde wanted them to meet him. They saw someone with a gun. Cat recognized her and called her “mom.”
