>> Jack: The era of inept law enforcement is over.

>> Eve: Yes. >> Jack: We are cracking down on

crime and cracking down hard. >> Yeah!

>> Yeah! >> Jack: So, without further

ado, I am pleased and proud to announce my new and improved

police commissioner, Eeeeve Deveraux!

[crowd whooping] >> Jennifer: [mouthing] What?

>> Jack: It was Eve who first encouraged me to run for mayor.

She was a stellar campaign manager, and I have complete

confidence that with this tough, smart, visionary woman leading

the Salem PD, we will finally restore law and order!

[cheers and applause] >> Eve: Thank you so much,

Mr. Mayor. [Jack laughs]

And I'm honored to accept this position, and I look forward to

our continued partnership as we fight on behalf of these

wonderful citizens of this great city.

[cheers and applause] >> Jack: All right!

Any questions? Y-yes?

>> Jennifer: I have one. Have you lost what's left of

your mind? [knocking on door]

>> Hope: Haley? JJ? [knocking]

Come on, open up. You have a credit card?

>> Eli: Yeah. >> Hope: Don't worry--I won't

ruin it. >> Tripp: Hey.

What's going on? >> Hope: Tripp.

W-what are you doing here? Where's JJ and Haley?

>> Ciara: Lani lied to me. >> Rafe: Lani.

You didn't tell me that Ciara came by yesterday.

And I had no idea that David was sick.

>> Lani: Okay, yeah, I lied. But I was only trying to protect

David. >> Rafe: Protect him from what?

>> Lani: From Ben. There's no way that man is

stable enough to be around his nephew.

>> Claire: Ignore this. Ha ha!

Mm-hmm.

>> Claire: Haven't you heard? Tripp broke up with me.

>> Ben: Ciara told me. I'm sorry.

>> Claire: Well, you know, Tripp's the one who should be

sorry. I literally went above and

beyond to help Haley. I...I let my boyfriend marry

another woman, knowing that it was gonna destroy my

relationship. And guess what.

It did. >> Ben: Well, maybe you and

Tripp can work things out. >> Claire: I just--I didn't want

him to get in trouble. Right? I wanted to protect him.

I wanted to be with him. Did he appreciate that?

At all? No. No, Ben, not one bit.

And now... [chuckles]

You have no idea how much this hurts.

But what's up with his clothes? Were you gonna torch 'em?

>> Rafe: I know you wanna protect David, but...hey.

You don't have to lie, okay? Just come to me.

>> Lani: Rafe, you have enough that you're dealing with, and I

don't want to pile on. >> Ciara: I'm sorry, but why,

exactly, is Lani a part of this discussion?

Who is she to say whether Ben is stable enough to spend time with

his own nephew? >> Lani: I really don't

understand why all of a sudden Ben is so determined to be

around his nephew. >> Ciara: When Ben was growing

up, Jordan took care of him. And when they finally ran away

from his sadistic father, her stepfather, she was all that Ben

had. So all he's trying to do is be

there for her son the same way she was for him.

>> Rafe: Hmm. Yeah.

I don't know, I-I-- >> Ciara: You can set ground

rules, you can supervise. Come on, Rafe, you can do

anything you want. Just please don't shut Ben out,

please. And don't deny that sweet baby

the only family he has right now.

>> Eli: No sign of Haley and JJ. >> Tripp: I tried to tell you

guys they weren't here. >> Hope: What you haven't said

is why you're here. >> Tripp: So when Haley and JJ

took off, I was listening to my dad's police scanner, and I

heard you guys might have a tip that they might be at this motel

and so I came here to try to convince them to turn themselves

in, but they were gone. I don't know if they were ever

really here at all. >> Hope: You expect me to

believe any of that? >> Tripp: Why wouldn't you?

>> Hope: You married Haley to keep her from being deported.

All of a sudden, now you want her to turn herself in?

>> Tripp: Things are getting a little out of hand.

>> Hope: Something we both agree on--Haley and JJ are in deep

trouble. If you're holding out on me,

you're gonna be in it right alongside them.

>> JJ: I'm glad Tripp was able to bring us money for these

outfits. Hope we fooled the guys on the

ferry. >> Haley: I've always wanted to

see Smith Island ever since you told me about it, just...not

like this. >> JJ: Well...this is my family

cabin. We'll be safe here for a little

while until we figure out how to get into Canada.

>> Haley: I like it. It's really, really charming in

a...rustic sort of way. I bet you had a lot of good

memories here growing up. >> JJ: Yeah, I sure did.

>> Haley: JJ... are you sure about this?

You really want to give up your whole life to run away with me?

>> JJ: Haley, we... we talked about this.

I-I...I want to get away from my dad.

And my mom can come visit us. Hey...Canada is awesome.

>> Haley: It is? >> JJ: Yeah, first of all, it's

beautiful. And the people are so nice there

and....there's hockey and skiing

and moose. >> Haley: [laughs]

Moose. >> JJ: Yeah, sure.

Who doesn't like moose? >> Haley: I just--I-I didn't

know you were a fan. >> JJ: Remember, I used to be a

cop. Maybe I could become a Royal

Mountie. Hmm?

>> Haley: [laughs] Yeah, yeah, no, I can, um...

yeah, I can totally see you rocking that red jacket.

Uh, and that hat--so hot. >> JJ: Yeah.

What about poutine? >> Haley: Uh, excuse me?

>> JJ: It's a Canadian junk food classic.

Gravy on top of fresh fries and cheese curds.

>> Haley: Yeah, I-I don't know about that, but...

but I am pretty starving. >> JJ: Starving?

>> Haley: Mm-hmm. >> JJ: I don't know if there's

so much around here except, uh, two cans of beans and weenies.

>> Haley: Beans with what? >> JJ: Weenies. You know, like

little hot dogs? Franks and beans?

Check it. My mom always, uh, kept a few

cans around for sentimental reasons.

Apparently, she and my dad survived on these when they were

on the run. >> Haley: Okay, now, that is a

story I need to hear. >> JJ: You know, believe it or

not, those were happy times for my parents.

Seeing them now... it's hard to believe they were

ever happy. >> Jennifer: You're replacing

Hope Brady Hernandez with your wife?

Is this a joke? >> Jack: Joke? No! No, not at

all. As I said earlier, Eve did a

brilliant job as my campaign manager, and I expect her to do

the same for the Salem Police Department.

>> Jennifer: Is she qualified? Because she has no background in

law enforcement. She's more likely to commit a

crime than stop one. >> Eve: Jack, come on.

We're done. >> Jack: I--Uh, t-thank you.

Thank you, that'll be all for today, thank you for coming, and

as always, thank you for your support, thank you--

>> Jennifer: You are making a huge mistake, Jack. Come on!

>> Jack: I know you are upset about your cousin, but I'm the

decider--I've made my decision. >> Jennifer: Making Eve top cop?

Are you kidding me? Have you lost your mind, Jack?

How are you gonna sell that to the public?

>> Eve: Well, newsflash for you, Jennifer--police commissioner's

an administrative job. You don't have to be a cop.

I'm gonna bring a fresh perspective to the position--

an outside view. >> Jennifer: An outside view?

You're married to the man who gave you the job, Eve.

>> Eve: And I'm sure you're gonna put that in that little

hatchet piece that you're gonna write about us after this.

But I can tell you right now-- I'm completely independent.

>> Eve: No, you're not. You're gonna be a complete

failure, because you are no more qualified to run a police

department than he is to be mayor.

>> Rafe: I'm looking after David because Jordan asked me to.

And my priority is to keep him safe.

>> Ciara: Yeah, but Ben would never hurt anybody, especially

his own nephew. >> Rafe: Ciara--

>> Ciara: How could letting him spend a little time together be

harmful? And besides, you obviously need

help with the baby, otherwise Lani wouldn't be around him all

the time. >> Lani: Oh, no, I'm happy to

help. >> Ciara: Yeah, well, so is Ben.

>> Rafe: [small laugh] >> Ciara: Rafe, can you please

just try to give him a chance? Please, please, please, please,

please, please? Please.

>> Rafe: Okay, you know what? [mug thunks down]

Tell you what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna talk to Jordan.

But I will tell you, the last time I saw her, she was not in a

good place. I will ask her, however, and if

she says it's okay... then I guess I'm okay with it.

>> Claire: Ha ha. Torch them?

Uh...why on earth would I do that, Ben?

I'm angry, but I'm not crazy. >> Ben: So what's the plan here?

>> Claire: Well, Tripp tossed me out like trash, so...figured I

would toss his clothes into the hallway and show him how mad I

am--I don't know. >> Ben: I don't blame you.

>> Claire: You don't? >> Ben: No.

>> Claire: Ciara understood how I felt, but, um, I really didn't

expect you to. >> Ben: Yeah, well, what Tripp

did was completely unfair... expecting you to, what, just

wait around for years? It's just wrong.

>> Claire: Thank you. Yeah, try telling Tripp that.

>> Ben: I could. But honestly, I think you could

do a lot better. I haven't really been a big fan

of that guy since he tried to frame me for setting that fire

at the cabin. >> Claire: Yeah, I know.

That was a horrible thing to do.

>> Ben: You know they reopened the case, right?

Jordan swears she had nothing to do with it, and even though

there's zero proof linking me to the fire, I'm back to being the

number one suspect. Go figure.

All because of that cigarette lighter.

You know, the one JJ found in your jewelry box?

Claire, I know you think I left it here, but I'm telling you--

>> Claire: Well, how--how else would I have ended up with it?

>> Ben: I don't know, Claire. All I know is that that is the

lighter that JJ took to the police, because it was the same

kind of lighter that I used with Chad and Abigail.

And then Ciara told the police that it was similar to the one

that I had back at the cabin. >> Claire: So?

>> Ben: So if the police decide that lighter's mine, I'm gonna

go to prison. That's why I would like to take

a look at it for myself. Can I see it, please?

>> Claire: No! No, you can't.

>> Tripp: I wish I could help you guys, but I honestly have

no idea where Haley and JJ are. >> Hope: And I honestly think

that you know more than you're saying.

He leaves us no choice but to bring him in for questioning.
