He's been in love with her for a long time and the few kisses they've shared have given him some hope, but Theo's (Kyler Pettis) emotions about everything with Ciara (Vivian Jovanni) could land him in some hot water as the teens prepare for prom on Days of Our Lives.

He's been a solid presence in her life and one of her best friends for years, and he proved his devotion to her when he stuck by her following her horrific rape, and he even helped bring Chase (Jonathan McClendon) in for his crime. Since then, he and Ciara have continued to grow closer, and even shared a few kisses-but Theo could be reading more into what's going on than he should.

Now, as the teens all prepare for their prom, Theo's need to protect Ciara, whom he thinks is close to becoming his girlfriend, could get the best of him, especially if Chase shows up at the event. Furious that he not only hurt Ciara, but that he got out of jail on bail and is still hanging around Salem, Theo will go on the attack and try to beat Chase up-and that could land him in some major hot water.

Added to the problem, his father, Abe (James Reynolds) has been warning him he needs to slow things down when it comes to Ciara, something he refused to listen to, and assumed was his father being extraordinarily overprotective of him due to his autism. Now, when he actually gets into trouble, ot could further drive a wedge between the usually close father and son.

Meanwhile, the prom plans are also going to quickly start becomes more of a disaster for everyone else as well. Joe (James Lastovic) and Jade (Paige Searcy) have been planning to do something crazy as they deal with their respective issues with their parents-Joe is heartbroken that Steve (Stephen Nichols) and Kayla (Mary Beth Evans) have broken up again while Jade is furious her parents want to ship her off to a boarding school. Now, the two will further cement their plans-to run off to L.A. together.
