It's almost move-in day for Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) and Rachel (Alice Halsey). This is the last night that Rachel will spend in Kristen's Salem Inn room, as it's almost time for mother and daughter to move in with Daddy, but Brady (Eric Martsolf) has some ground rules first. When he arrives at Kristen's door, Rachel is thrilled to see him and even hands him a Valentine's card that she made at school.

Rachel can't wait for them to all live together as a family, something that hasn't happened since Rachel was a baby, so she doesn't even remember it. However, Brady reminds Kristen that Rachel needs boundaries. Rachel has to know that this living arrangement doesn't mean that her parents are getting back together. She is not to interfere with Brady's love life, or Kristen's, for that matter.

Neither Brady nor Kristen knows just how much stronger Rachel's devious streak is after spending so much time with Sophia Choi (Rachel Boyd) in Bayview. They might be biting off more than they could chew, but Kristen may have also been right that Rachel's time there was detrimental rather than helpful.

Jada's date goes awry

Jada (Elia Cantu) was getting frustrated about not hearing from Theo (Tyler Joseph Andrews), but when he texted her during Alex (Robert Scott Wilson) and Stephanie's (Abigail Klein) wedding, she was happy to accept a date offer. However, that date at The Brady Pub doesn't go quite as planned because Theo can't get Gabi off his mind.

In fact, Theo even imagines that Jada is Gabi (Cherie Jimenez). At least Jada can tell that Theo is distracted, which might make her rethink ever going out with Theo again. Jada always seems to be unlucky in love.

Meanwhile, Gabi is not thinking of Theo at all. After telling Philip (John-Paul Lavoisier) the truth about Stefan (Brandon Barash), she decides it's time to move on. Gabi and Philip enjoy a very romantic and sexy Valentine's night in Miami, where they don't have a care in the world. Theo might also find himself unlucky in love.
