Survival of the Fittest

By , About.com Guide

Bo and Hope arrive in Cincinnati at the address for Kate’s gun dealer, Lee Elroy. Bo pounds on the door, but no-one answers. Hope proceeds to go check out the pick-up truck while Bo waits. He hides when he spots someone coming, then approaches a young woman, who is sorting through a box of files by the trash can. She throws the files towards him and runs when he requests to speak to her about a gun. Hope comes back shortly afterwards and they sort through the files of gun sales together, which Bo suspects aren’t legal. Hope doesn’t believe that the woman is the seller, since she found papers in the truck stating that a hunting rifle is registered to a man named Lee Elroy. Bo breaks into the warehouse as Hope watches his back.

Bo slowly enters the warehouse and calls out for the woman, insisting that he needs some information on a gun. The woman appears and threatens to shoot him unless he leaves immediately. Bo tells her that the safety to her gun is on, then grabs her and demands to know where Lee Elroy is. Hope appears as the woman claims she’s Elroy’s widow and left her with a warehouse full of hot guns. The woman claims she’s just trying to unload them and make some quick cash so her baby doesn’t starve.

Hope and the woman later sort through the sales records together trying to find the missing serial number to Kate’s gun. The woman denies knowing anything about an attempted murder and wonders if Bo’s going to put her in jail. Bo comes back and announces that Miss Elroy’s story check out and introduces Hope to Lindy. Bo apologizes for her loss. Hope then finds a match to the serial numbers and notes that someone by the name of “Otis Shackley” signed the receipt, which arouses suspicion in Bo. Lindy insists all the records are right there and reveals that she’s been coming to the warehouse since she got evicted from her home, hoping to sell enough guns until she can afford an apartment. Hope asks about her child. Lindy says the social worker will hand her daughter over as soon as she gets a real place to live. Bo suggests that calling the F.B.I. might help jog her memory. Lindy offers to retrieve a picture and claims that her husband put in a camera at the warehouse. Bo demands a photo from a certain date and time when “Otis Shackley” was present. After Lindy leaves to fulfill Bo’s demands, Hope tries to persuade him to cut Lindy some slack.

Hope displays sympathy for Lindy. Softie Bo agrees to let Lindy walk, since her husband’s the one who was selling the guns and Lindy was just liquidating the business. She kisses him and tells him he’s the best. Lindy comes back and shows Bo and Hope a photo of Lucas. Bo then examines the photo closely and notices that the gun which Lucas is concealing is different from Kate’s. Hope concludes that Lucas bought two guns. Bo thanks Lindy for her help and agrees not to turn her in, but needs to confiscate her guns. Outside the warehouse, Bo phones Abe and informs him that Lucas bought two guns. After Hope comes outside, Bo asks his generous wife how much money she gave to Lindy, reminding her why he loves his big-hearted wife so much. They proceed to head back to Salem.

Steve and Kayla sit with Ciara at the pub. Steve acts like his loveable goofy self and blows bubbles into his drink using his straw. Kayla chuckles before Caroline announces that she has macaroni and cheese for Ciara’s dinner. Steve jokes with Caroline about getting some of the tasty entree. After Caroline takes Ciara away, Kayla then notes how adorable Ciara is and how Steve has a way with her, referring to him as a natural born daddy. Steve then demurs how they shouldn’t have a baby. Kayla tries to assure him that he’s a great dad. Steve admits he misses Pocket. Kayla remarks how Pocket proved they were capable of being great parents again. Steve changes the topic to his childhood and fears being anything like his father. Kayla asserts that there’s no way Steve could ever be anything like his deceased father Duke Johnson. She brings up how he was with Stephanie as a baby, Benji, Pocket, and Ciara. He admits he’s scared. She confesses to being scared as well, then brings up Adrienne, who came from the same family as Steve and has four wonderful boys and is a great mother. She then rehashes the night when he discovered Steph’s pregnancy test and asks him the million dollar question, if he wants to have a baby with her or not. Steve expresses his doubts, but Kayla assures him that he’s a good man with a good heart. She implores him to just jump in and do the very best they can, assuring him that any child would be lucky to have him for a father. They share a kiss before Steve agrees to try for another baby. A delighted Kayla smooches with him some more.

Steve then sits by the bar and has a flashback to when he regained his memory last year and tried to convince Kayla of his feelings. We see the beautiful moment when he signed “courage” to her and she fell into his arms and made love with him. Back to reality, Kayla rejoins him and admits how happy he makes her. He declares that when he sees that happy look on her face, he knows that nothing would make him happier than having a baby with her. They are anxious to get started right away before Kayla says there’s just one more thing.

The Johnsons sit down as Kayla says there’s no guarantees that they will conceive. Steve suggests they can adopt instead and assures Kayla that he’ll by okay with that alternative. Steve recalls when he was in an orphanage and the best day came when his friend Marcus got adopted and welcomed into a loving home. Steve proposes getting the ball rolling on adoption if it comes to that. But in the meantime, he suggests they work a lot on getting pregnant the fun way. They make a toast to the new addition to their family.
