piano for Holly. There you go. >> Chloe: Oh, ow. That's heavy.

Uh, wow, that is-- that's so thoughtful of you.

>> Stefan: Oh, no, yeah, you're welcome. I hope it's--I hope

they're okay, age-wise. I really didn't--I didn't--

>> Chloe: Yeah, yeah, no, this is amazing. Parker will

love a robot, and I love the idea of a toy piano.

I want the kids to start music lessons soon, so--

>> Stefan: Oh, yeah. Oh, and while we're on the--the, uh--

the subject of music, I would love to hear you sing

sometime. I hear you're pretty good. I don't know.

>> Chloe: Yeah, I'm all right. Uh, yeah, I would--

I would love to. You don't have to twist my arm.

>> Stefan: Okay, I'm looking forward to that.

>> Chloe: Me, too. And thank you, again, for the

gifts, and thinking of the kids. >> Stefan: Oh, it's no problem.

>> Chloe: It's so nice of you. >> Stefan: I mean, I know you--

I know you brought them here to keep them safe, but they're

kids. They should have fun, right?

>> Chloe: Yeah, they should. >> Stefan: Yeah.

You know, uh, we adults--we're entitled to a little fun now and

again, don't you think? >> Chloe: I agree.

>> Stefan: Good. So while you're here, um,

let's, uh, try and make it a good time

for all of us, yeah? >> Chloe: Definitely.

>> Hope: Where's Ciara? >> Ben: I don't know.

>> Hope: Then why do you have her phone? Answer me, Ben!

Where is she? >> Ben: Okay, Hope, Hope, I've

been trying to call her. She hasn't answered any of my calls.

I tried calling her one more time right before you guys got

here, and I ho--I heard the phone ringing inside the room.

I don't know how it got here. I couldn't believe it. I swear

to God, Hope, I--I found it in that top drawer.

>> Hope: How'd it get there? >> Ben: I have no clue!

>> Eli: Then why'd you hide it? >> Ben: Because I panicked,

dude! You guys were banging on the door, screaming to come in.

I knew it was gonna look bad, so I stashed it. I swear to God,

I have not seen Ciara. >> Hope: Maybe you don't

remember because you were off your meds.

>> Ben: I would never hurt her. >> Hope: Let's get him down to

the station, see if we can jog his memory.

>> Ben: Come on. Oh, come on.

Parker and Holly's grandmother, Maggie.

>> Maggie: And Chloe is their mother, and it's up to her to

decide how to best protect them, so that's why she feels she'll

be safe in Stefan's home. >> Brady: No, no, no, no. She'll

be safe here. The problem is Grandfather made it very clear

how unwelcome Chloe is here. He hates her, but you--you

don't. >> Maggie: So are you asking me

to speak to your grandfather? >> Brady: [sighs]

No--forget him. D-d-forget him. Talk to Chloe. Let Chloe know

that this would be the best place for her to be right now.

>> Maggie: Brady, we have talked about your protectiveness

of Chloe before. >> Brady: I--yes, I know, but

that was different, all right? 'Cause now there are--there are

kids involved. >> Maggie: With seeing how

worked up you are about this, I can't help but wonder if it's

the kids that you're so upset about, or...

that Chloe will be living with another man.
