12/13 Hope is excited about her Friday night date with Bo. She brags to Melissa that it will be a "night to remember" and tells Melissa the she plans to make love to him. Bo covertly calls Roman at the motel and informs him of the shoot-to-kill order out on him courtesy of Larry Welch. Bo gives him the update on his investigation. So far it looks like he has been set up but a pro. Bo also informs Roman that Carrie is upset that her Mommy is now missing. Roman fesses up that Anna is now with him, which perplexes Bo.

Anna sneaks out when Roman is in the shower and calls Marlena's. Carrie answers and Anna tells her that she loves her and misses her and she is with Carrie's Daddy in California and will be home soon, not to worry and to stay happy. Marlena's jaw drops as she is listening on the upstairs extension. Marlena asks Carrie to promise not to tell anyone about her Mommy calling just now.

Bo and Hope babysit Carrie. Carrie asks Uncle Bo where her Mommy and Daddy are. Carrie isn't eating and a concerned Marlena invites Hope and Melissa by to her house tonight to cheer Carrie up and also put up Christmas decorations.

Hope tells them that college is redundant and why should she go away to college when everything she wants is right here in Salem. "Like Bo Brady?" pipes up Julie.

Chris asks Bo if he is aware that Hope is love with him. Bo knows, but tells Chris that he does not want Hope to end up on the receiving end of one of his mistakes.

12/15 Bo and Hope plan their first date for later that night. Bo isn't sure of what time he can make it and tells her he will call her later. Bo stops by Marlena's asking if there is anything that he can do for her. Gene accuses Bo of knowing where Roman and Anna are. He coldly informs Bo that if he finds out that Bo is withholding any information, he will make life miserable for Bo.

Sweet Alice brings Marlena a pot roast. Bo whispers to Alice that he spoke with Roman, and that Roman is okay. When they are alone, Bo apologizes to Mrs. for getting her involved in all of this. She won't hear it and says she got involved of her own free will. Mrs. H points out that as soon as Roman escaped that the attacks started again.

Bo meets Hope again and tells her that he is taking her sailing on the lake for their date. Julie makes a bee line for their table at the Park Cafe, urgently wanting to speak to Hope alone. While putting clean underwear away in Hope's drawer, Julie found Hope's birth control pills. Busted.

Julie is very worried about Hope and what she is about to do with Bo. She begs Hope to stop and think about it and tells Hope that she is too young to have this kind of relationship. Julie speaks from the heart and experience, and she does not want Hope to make the same mistakes that she did. She sees her younger self in Hope. Julie tells Hope that she loves her so much and does not want to see her hurt and asks her to wait. Julie tells her that Hope is going to want more from Bo than Bo will ever be able to give her. She warns her that there won't be any certainty or dependability with Bo. Stubborn Hope insists that she knows that she is doing and goes back to class.

Later, Bo tells Hope he will pick her up at 8:00. Roman calls Bo and tells him that he needs to dump the car and that he needs an alternate form of transportation. Bo mentions to Roman that he needs some advice and needs to talk to him in person. They arrange to meet at 7:00. Bo borrows Gene's cab again. Due to two of his waitresses calling in sick for the Grand Re-Opening tonight, Chris asks Hope to work tonight. Hope agrees to work, even though her big date with Bo is at 8pm.

When her dad comes in, Hope tells Doug that she has her first official date with Bo that night. Her father doesn't approve and wouldn't give his permission. Hope points out that she is a bit too old for him to be saying who she can or can't date. She doesn't want to hurt him or lie to him. She tells her father that she loves Bo, and hints that she might be going to Bo's later and she doesn't want her father pounding on Bo's door to come and get her. He wishes it was anyone but Bo, not exactly a father's ideal. He is afraid of his little girl getting hurt. Doug seems amazingly understanding about where Hope indicates her relationship with Bo is headed.

Hope tells Chris that she has to leave work at 7:55pm. Chris is not havin' it. Hope is trying to convince Chris that she is feeling sick and needs to go home. Chris relents and lets her leave so she can go on her date with Bo. Bo calls Hope at Shenanagins and tells her to meet him at 10:30pm as something has come up. Bo picks up the cab from Gene, who plans to follow him with a beeper to see what Bo is up to. Of course, Bo loses him quickly on the highway. A robber jumps in the cab and holds Bo up and takes the money that Bo was going to give Roman.

Tony and Marlena run into a bundled-up Hope by the riverfront. Hope tells them that she is meeting someone. A dejected Hope returns to Shenanagins and tells Melissa that Bo did not show up. Meanwhile, Bo is driving Roman back to the house of ill repute. They hear sirens, and see that the house is ablaze and realize that Anna is in the house!

12/17 At Hope's she and Melissa argue about Pete. Melissa tells Hope that she should give Bo another chance. Hope is just angry. She whines that her feet hurt she is tired and being a waitress/hostess was a lot harder than she thought. Hope was really surprised with how understanding Doug was when she informed him of her big plans with Bo that night. Julie comes in and asks how the date was.

Hope starts crying, which causes Julie to ask what Bo did to her. Hope tells a relieved Julie what happened, that the date with did work out. "But it hurts so much!" she moans to Julie. Julie thinks that Bo is a dangerous person, that Hope is infatuated and was moving too fast, They share a heartfelt hug, and Julie tells Hope that she loves her.

Bo seeks out Alice at the hospital, and they are whispering. She clutches her heart and asks him, "What are we up to now?" Hope asks Bo if she can see him after the party (she no longer seems mad at him) and he tells her he can't promise her anything. She is disappointed and wants to be with him for a little while on Christmas. He feels bad that he hasn't had time to get her a present or even a card.

It will be their special Christmas secret.

She proudly hands Bo a Christmas gift and mentions that she found Santa's clothes in the hospital laundry room. Her gift to him is a tuxedo shirt, cuff links, tie to wear to her birthday party, as the party is black tie. He apologizes to her that he did not get her a gift. She produces a twig of mistletoe and they share a long kiss. She tells him he doesn't have to buy her anything and whips out the mistletoe. She points out that it is a Christmas tradition.

She says that Tom has been really suspicious of her and she doesn't think Tom will ever forgive her when he finds out. Bo assures her he will fix this for her that she has been good to all of his family and he will come up with a solution to this problem.

Tom stops by Alice and Bo's table at the Park Cafe. They are plotting again! All of a sudden, a bellowing voice screams, "HEY, WHAT'S HAPPENING??!" It is Howie Hoffstetter.

Hope begs once again to see her father and complains it isn’t fair. Julie firmly tells her that she won’t be allowed in to see her father until the doctors allow it. She reminds Hope that Doug is still critically ill. Hope begs her to tell him how much she loves him. Hope tells Melissa that she believes she can explain to her father how much she loves him and how sorry she is, and that she loves Bo too. She knows Julie won’t tell him that she loves him. Melissa doesn’t understand why she can’t just wait a couple of days till the cardiac restrictions are lifted.

Bo has a bug at Alex’s, and tapes his conversations. He takes the tape from Alex's over to Roman to report about an important meeting with Marlena for tomorrow. Roman wants Bo to monitor the tape as much as possible. Bo isn't thrilled to hear this suggestion as the tunnel isn't his favorite place to be given the proximity to Doug’s Place and his chances of running into Hope & Julie.

Bo runs into Hope at Shenanigan's, she asks him to sit down and talk. He can't as he is off to the cave. He listens in some more to Alex Marshall. Hope arrives at the hospital and Julie is shocked to see her. Doug sees her through the glass door and starts getting upset and calling for her. His heart monitor starts beeping and Julie comes out to tell her that she is already upsetting him as the docs rush to his side. Hope is devastated to finally realize the impact she is having and rushes out.

Bo goes back up to Doug's Place and runs into Hope again. She runs into his arms. She says she was at the hospital and they won't allow her to see her father, that when he just saw her through the window the machines started beeping with his elevator heart rate. Bo suggests maybe they cool down for awhile. Hope disagrees as that is exactly what Julie wants, to keep them apart. Instead, she suggests that they go back to his place so they can be alone. He says he would love to be alone with her right now but he can't. Then Hope gives him the message that Michael Brown called (this is the code name that he uses with Roman). He runs off to see Roman but when he gets to the motel, Roman is no longer there.

1/9 He comes back and questions Hope about the message. He offers her a ride. She tells him that she will always feel responsible for her dad's heart attack. Hope says all she wants is to spend time with Bo, she isn't looking to live with him or get married. He takes her to the hospital. She tells Julie that she won't ask to see her father and is sorry for arguing with Julie about it. She just came over to try to see how her dad was doing. They argue about Bo.

Hope observes that Julie would like to just kick Bo out of her life. Julie admits she would and that her father wants someone better for her. Hope asks if Doug has asked for her. Julie finally allows her in to see him but warns her not to say anything that will upset him. Hope promises, hugs Julie thank you and runs in to see him. Hope tells him how much she loves him, how sorry she is and she will never forgive himself for the pain she has put him through. He wants to talk to her about Bo, she says they should wait for that. He is worried that he might not have enough time, she doesn’t want to hear him talk like that.

He apologizes that he barged in on her with Bo. He is sorry that he embarrassed her. She says that she loves Bo but doesn’t want to hurt Doug. He fells she is following her heart, not her head. He tells her that she should date different men before she decides on one man for the rest of her life, what will Bo be like when she is 30, or 40. He doesn’t want to see her hurt and declares that Bo is the wrong man for her and she doesn’t want him to see him ever again. Hope tells Doug how much she loves him but she loves Bo too. Doug points out that she has time and if Bo loves her, that he will wait for her. Hope agrees to think about it if it means that much to him.

Bo tells Mrs. H that he lost Roman, and he tells her about the code name in case Roman calls. Back at Doug’s Place, Bo gets a call from Michael Brown as Eugene & Marlena listen in, wondering if that is Roman. Eugene and Marlena follow him and Bo goes to Eugene's and confronts them as he spots their tail. Marlena begs for Bo to tell her the truth. He swears he doesn't know where Roman is and that he hasn't been helping him.

Back at Doug’s Place, Larry & Hope sit down with her grandparents. They agree to put his prosecution of Julie in the past. Larry asks to talk to Bo and tells him that Doug and Julie are worried about Hope, being with him. Bo tells him to butt out and asks since when is Larry such good friends with Doug and Julie (he was only too happy to arrest her for Renee’s murder the previous summer).

1/10 Doug tells Neil that he needs to talk to Bo. He begs Neil to arrange it, he has to do it to ease his mind. Liz tells Bo that Neil called and said that Doug wants to see him. Bo is very hesitant to see Doug after how upset he got last time, he doesn't want to cause him anymore stress. Neil says it will cause more harm if he doesn't seem him as Doug is very insistent.

Bo hesitantly goes to see Doug who begins to question him about his intentions. Doug tells him he never thought Bo was right for Hope. Bo replies he doesn't think it is fair of Doug to say that. Doug asks if Bo is ready to make a commitment to his daughter. Bo tells him that he loves Hope but remains silent on the commitment issue. This clinches for Doug that Bo will only hurt Hope. Doug tells Bo of his dreams for Hope, to go to college, to see the world and implies that Bo won't fit in with this life. He asks Bo if he is proud of what this relationship has accomplished. Bo says he is not ashamed of his relationship with Hope. Doug asks Bo to let her go for her own good, that Bo will only cause her unhappiness. Bo acknowledges, "Maybe your right."

Bo is angry with Eugene when he finds a bug on his jacket that Eugene planted on his jacket. Bo sits alone in his room, holding a piece of Hope's jewelry, and reads from the book of poems that he gave to Hope.

1/11 -1/12 Eugene questions Bo again, he wants to know where Roman is. Bo continues to insist that he doesn’t know. Bo asks for Chris' advice on whether he should break up with Hope? Bo tells Chris that he is nothing but trouble for Hope. He goes onto say that he can't make a commitment to Hope and doesn't know if he will ever be able to. He is worried that the longer he sees her, the farther away she gets from her folks. Chris can see how Doug and Julie are less than thrilled with the prospect of having Bo as a son-in-law. Bo says that if she does lose her family over Bo that she would end up resenting him, that she thinks all she needs is her freedom and to be with Bo but he knows how important her family is to her. They are interrupted by Howie.

Larry finds Hope at Shenanigan's and tries to be helpful, he can't do enough for her. She says all she really wants is to go to the hospital to see her father. She accepts his offer to escort her there. He tells her that he knows exactly what she is going through as his father had a heart attack. Larry calls her princess, she smiles and says that her dad has called her that since she was little.

When Hope goes into see her father, he tells her how much he loves her. He tells her about when she was born that they named her Hope because she was the hope for his future as her mother, Addie, was very ill at the time. She tells him how important he is to her, and she doesn't want to lose him. She agrees to do whatever he asks her to, but agrees that she won't see Bo if that is what he feels is best. She tells him how much she loves Bo. Doug tells her that he knows how painful this is for her, but he believes it is really for the best for her to break up with Bo.

1/13 Bo goes to see Roman & Anna, they are all disguised as monks hiding out. Bo tells Roman that he has decided to break up with Hope, but that he doesn't told her yet. Roman worries this decision is because of Bo's involvement with Roman. Bo says that is part of it, Doug's heart attack is also part of it. Bo thinks of breaking up with Hope while he drives home.

At the same time as Hope is driving home with Larry, she thinks of the promise she made to her father to break up with Bo. She runs into Julie at the lodge, and Julie thanks her for agreeing to break up with Bo and acknowledges that Hope really does love her father. Hope tells her that she also told her father how much she loves Bo and that they are both wrong about him and one day they will realize that. Julie doesn't quite believe the she has misunderstood Bo. Hope says she is the only one that really knows him. Unfortunately, Bo is stopped for speeding and then arrested for carrying a gun that he doesn't have a license for, "illegal possession of a firearm".

1/16 Hope reads about Bo’s arrest in the paper and heads over to the PD. Meanwhile, Abe offers Bo a deal. He will drop the charges against Bo if he will lead them to Roman. Larry comes in and says no way, he is pressing charges and Bo isn't getting out of this one. Then Hope arrives and Larry's tune sure changes. Suddenly, he is offering Hope that he will see if he can help Bo if that is what she wants. She asks him to help. He gets Bo off on a technicality, Bo is less than grateful for Larry's assistance but happy to get out of jail.

Bo and Hope agree to meet later that night, each planning on breaking up with the other. Hope goes to see her father and tells him she will meet Bo later that night. He has heard about the arrest and is not happy that she is seeing Bo. She explains she hasn't had a chance to talk to him yet and hasn't broken up with him yet.

Bo goes to see Roman and tells him about Larry's help, Roman doesn't like it anymore than Bo does. They are making plans to get Anna out of the country on a flight to Lisbon. Later that night, Hope meets Bo on the docks. Hope tells him that she can't hurt her father anymore, that she can't handle a lot of things at once, that she isn't as mature as she thought she was, and tells him she can't see him anymore. He says she is right, that the closer they get the more trouble he causes for her, that he is bad news for her and its about time they saw that before they both got hurt. He gives her back the book of poetry. He starts to walk away, then turns back and they share a long, lingering, goodbye kiss. She tells him she will always love him, only him. He tells her that he will always love her and walks away. She sadly sits on the docks.
