Bo agrees to sit down and wants to hear more about her dream. Morgan arrives with coffee and breakfast treats. Bo quickly leaves for work. Chelsea admits she’s worried about her dad, since he still blames himself for the infertility ordeal.

Daniel denies having feelings for Chelsea, but Kate isn’t buying it and suspects that he’s scared of his feelings. Daniel claims he’s leaving town because his work is done in Salem.
