[ProudTVJunkie]

Wendy and Tripp come to Steve and Kayla's for breakfast and to say goodbye before leaving for Hong Kong. Kayla tells them not to enjoy themselves so much they don't come back. Tripp assures her that they won't happen.

Wendy has been teaching Tripp Mandarin and claims his accent is pretty good. Tripp plans to take some courses while he's there and to volunteer at a clinic. Steve and Kayla are glad they're getting a break from Salem.

Wendy offers to help Kayla with breakfast, leaving Steve and Tripp to talk. Wendy has been giving Tripp cultural advice before their trip. Steve asks about their impromptu wedding. Tripp says he and Wendy have decided there's no need to rush things.

Steve: Listen, Buddy. I'm just so glad that you found somebody that makes you happy. And I'm so proud of you. I'm so proud of the man you've become. I just want the very best for you. You deserve it.

Ava arrives. Tripp invited her. Steve and Kayla let her in, even though Kayla looks unhappy.

Tripp and Wendy have errands to run before heading to the airport and insist on taking a ride share so Steve and Kayla don't have to drive all the way to the airport and back. Ava offers to run their errands with them so they can spend more time together.

Tripp says goodbye and hugs Steve. Steve tells Wendy to make sure he doesn't get into too much trouble.

Ava: And please, you tell your parents that our hearts are with them for everything that they have been through. And they are so lucky that they have such a wonderful and caring daughter.

Wendy says she feels lucky to have such caring parents, and she knows that Tripp feels the same way about his family, and she knows what a sacrifice this is for him. Tripp says he wants to meet Wendy's friends and family.

Kayla tells Tripp how proud she is of him.

They promise to talk a lot. Steve says perhaps they'll take a trip to Hong Kong to visit. Wendy assures them they will always have a place in her parent's home.

Wendy and Tripp leave with Ava. Everyone is in tears.

Kayla tells Steve that Tripp has her heart because he reminds her so much of Steve. They both say how much they love him.

At the Horton Square:

Wendy goes to buy luggage trackers. Ava tells Tripp how much she’s going to miss him.

Ava: Even though you were taken away from me when you were a baby, God, ever since you were born you are such a big part of my heart. And, you know, coming back from the brink of death and making amends. Having you back in my life has been my greatest joy. I love you so much.

She’s sorry for the harm that she’s caused and knows it wasn’t easy for him to find out that he’s the son of a mafia princess.

He’s proud of Ava for leaving the mafia life behind.

Ava: As long as you love me and you know that I love and respect you, that’s everything for me.

All she’s ever wanted is for Tripp to be happy and be at peace with himself. Tripp says that’s all he’s ever wanted for her too. He implores her to stay out of trouble. Ava says she’ll do it for him.

After Ava leaves:

Their rideshare is on the way. Wendy asks if Tripp is ready to do this. Tripp says when he’s with her, he’s ready for anything. They talk about how many movies they’ll watch on the plane. Tripp takes Wendy’s hand and they head off.

Don't ever recall seeing Wendy in jeans before. Ha.

But the goodbye scenes were well acted and despite their boring coupling I hope this isn't the last of them. I doubt it will be but just guessing they may not return until after the summer.

Fine acting all around and Kayla could barely contain herself as Ava popped in.

As boring as they have been although wouldn't you know just as they were becoming more interesting, they leave, I think a lot of their problems were the result of poor unimaginative writing. Which can be cleared up down the road.

Time will tell on all these topics.

How long did they say they were going to be gone? Because the tears and emotions were over the top. I remember years ago when Daniel was going away for a while, Maggie lost her mind and was crying a river as if he were leaving forever. I think he was back within a month.

This seemed more like a sendoff for the actors than the characters. Either way, it was overdone. Bye bye.

Agreed, felt way over the top, especially Kayla, if they are just going for a trip (lol). I think this is a perma or long term exit. Thank the lord, I could not take anymore of them

[ProudTVJunkie]

I haven't read anything about the actors who play Tripp and Wendy leaving the show, but these scenes sure played like they were.
