A Good Career Out of Keeping Secrets

By Gwen Morett, About.com

Outside the pub, Chelsea shows Nick the pictures she had developed from her camera phone. He is impressed with how great they are. She suggests they wait outside for Cordy and Stephanie before going in. Nick says he can’t wait to see Bo march Ford into a jail cell. Chelsea suggests they snap a picture of that particular moment when it happens.

Inside the pub, Shawn tends bar and chats with Bo and Steve. Bo gives Shawn the good news that the match for the bullet from the gun and fingerprints came from Kate Roberts. Shawn is astonished that he helped bust Philip’s mom. After Steve excuses himself, Bo surmises that Philip was Kate’s first phone call and congratulates Shawn on his good work. “Your application to the academy was just fast tracked,” he reveals. Shawn can’t wait to share the news with Belle. Bo wonders if Belle’s going to be glad about this, noting that she worked pretty hard to keep him out of the academy. Shawn affirms that he and Belle have dealt with that and she’s behind him completely. Steve comes back with a fancy bottle of champagne and encourages Shawn to go find his gorgeous wife and celebrate. Shawn notes that it’s from his grandpa’s private stash. Shawn thanks him and leaves to go see if Belle’s done with her so-called study group Steve then questions why Bo’s not exactly jumping up and down over Shawn’s obvious happiness.

Stephanie finally arrives at the pub without Cordy. The girls greet their fathers with hugs inside. Chelsea then reveals that she and Nick took pictures of evidence regarding Ford Decker and thus they should be able to arrest him. “Are you crazy? Why would you do that?” asks a horrified Stephanie. Bo and Steve look over the photos as Bo questions how Chelsea obtained them. He quickly figures out that they broke in and states that the pictures won’t help since they were taken illegally. Steve then implies that someone anonymous could perhaps dump them off at the Salem P.D. Chelsea remarks how cool Uncle Steve is, then displays the rating system which Ford has on all the girls. A perturbed Steph then has a flashback to Ford raping her.

The gang later sit down together as Nick and Chelsea reveal the name of the drug which is prescribed for insomnia. Steve notes the contents from Ford’s journal, but no names are listed. Chelsea reveals that Ford brought another girl up to his place when she and Nick were there. She predicts that Ford was going to rape and drug her. “You don’t know that,” claims Stephanie. Chelsea advises her friend to ask Morgan and Cordy for confirmation. She then reveals how Ford noticed the signs of a break-in, so he threw the girl out. Chelsea shows Bo the journal which indicates that another Theta sister hasn’t come forward. Bo agrees to use the photos on one condition: Chelsea must stay away from Ford and refrain from breaking and entering. She thanks her dad. Nick and Chelsea then reveal that Ford packed up his evidence. Bo gives the bad news that without solid evidence, the pictures mean nothing. Bo urges his detective daughter not to go over to Ford’s room to retrieve evidence. Steve wonders if Billie can help, but Chelsea says no since the dean shut her down. Steve suggests he and Bo pay Ford a little visit, but a frantic Stephanie balks at the idea and fears that they’ll just make things worse. “You should’ve let me take care of that punk after what he did to you on Thanksgiving!” declares Steve. Steph urges her dad to stay away from him, which arouses Bo’s suspicion. Steve assures her that once they confront Ford, he’ll back down, as he did when Nick got in his face earlier.

After Bo and Steve leave, Stephanie accuses Chelsea of playing hero and making Cordy relive her traumatic event. Nick later proposes a truce between the ladies. Steph and Chelsea argue about going after Ford. Chelsea continues to insist that they need to stop him, but Steph predicts he’ll take his anger out on another woman elsewhere if he gets booted from campus. She then storms out in a huff. Chelsea suggests she needs to call Stephanie, but Nick advises her to give Steph time. He offers to do whatever she needs and reminds her that he’s her boyfriend and is supposed to protect her. She responds by kissing him.

At the hotel, Belle asks Chloe where Brady is. Chloe claims he couldn’t make it, but she wanted to surprise the gang for the reunion. A flustered Belle says she forgot all about it. Chloe apologizes for missing the wedding. “So, whose lame idea was it to honeymoon at the airport?” wonders Chloe. Belle tries to leave, but Chloe notes that Belle’s practically jumping out of her skin. “Is Shawn in there, or should I knock and find out who’s behind door number 1026?” inquires Chloe. Belle claims things are just crazy, with going to school, just getting married, and raising a daughter. Shawn then phones her and coaxes her to come home for a surprise. Belle suggests the three of them have dinner before the reunion, but Chloe suggests the four of them, meaning Philip. Chloe confesses that he’s one of the main reasons she came back to Salem.

At the police station, Kate requests to talk to Philip first, but Roman prefers her version of the story regarding the gun. Roman informs her that her fingerprints are all over it and they are real. Kate pleads the 5th. He urges her to call Philip, eager to know how her gun ended up on the streets. Kate secretly wonders the same thing. Roman later asks if she reached Philip, but Kate says no. She claims she didn’t try to kill anyone.

In the hotel room, Philip receives a call from Kate, who reveals that she’s being charged with attempted murder and reminds him about a certain gun she asked him to get rid of. He urges Kate not to say another word in front of Roman and says he’ll send one of Titan’s lawyers right over. “I don’t need stock options. I need bail, Philip,” insists Kate.

Outside Phil’s room, an evasive Belle reveals that Shawn and Philip aren’t friends anymore, but doesn’t have time to go into details. Chloe asks if Belle has Philip’s number. Belle says she can reach Philip at the mansion.
