Ryan's Hope

Dee was funny in the head after Albert (who was tranquilized) dropped her into a fireman's net. Thugs kidnapped Siobhan and ordered Joe to move to Florida. Seneca fell for Kim's pregnancy story and agreed to marry her. She let him think she was considering an abortion, but Rae figured out that Kim had suckered Seneca. Michael doesn't want Siobhan to be harmed. Jack blamed Joe for Siobhan's kidnapping.

Siobhan fell from a window ledge and aborted while escaping from her captors. Rae told Roger that Kim faked pregnancy reports to snare Seneca. Adam hypnotized Dee, who hallucinated about a past life in colonial times. Tizo urged Joe to settle the score with Loen, Wally and Morty for attempting to knock off Siobhan. Joe couldn't face leaving Siobhan, as Johnny insisted. Jack planned to meet with Phil, who had information on Mary's death. But Phil's girlfriend tipped off Tizo's henchmen. Rae arranged to let Seneca learn of Kim's ploys.

Jack spotted the initials EBB (Tizo's wife's initials) on a hairbrush set gift to Siobhan from Tizo and remembered that Mary mentioned the initials before she died. Rae and Roger arranged for Jill to overhear Kim admit that Kim is tricking Seneca into marriage. Dee rebuffed Roger, but said farewell to Albert who was transferred to an upstate zoo. Tizo worried that Jack has a sketch of his henchman Larry, Mary's murderer. Siobhan took Joe back. Phil told Jack he didn't know the man in the green hat.

Jill stepped Kim and Seneca's wedding cold with the news of Kim's fake pregnancy. A Ryan cousin, Barry, a fight manager, arrived from Chicago. Dee resolved she's finished with men, until Barry walked into the bar. Siobhan's abductors were crushed into auto scrap metal in their car. Joe announced the gang war has ended. Jack and Frank investigated EBB Industries. Seneca admitted he loves Kim despite her lies.

Bob resisted Faith’s drunken overtures. Jill suggested Faith solve her liquor habit. Dee prepared for the Crystal Palace grand opening with Barry, who caught her “eager-beaver eye”. The man in the green hat was found dead in a dump. Jack learned that Joe’s fishing boats are used for Tizo’s drug operation. Seneca kicked Kim out of his bed. She decided to make Seneca jealous by following Rae’s advice about finding a younger man.
