After Claire calls Theo over, she asks him to give Ciara space to reunite with Ben. He says that’s not going to happen because Ciara is leaving town with him. Claire warns Ciara will remember her life with Ben and then he’ll get hurt. Theo knows it’s a possibility but they’re just living in the now. He indicates he’s leaving soon and hugs her goodbye. Claire thinks he’s making a mistake. Theo shrugs. It’s his mistake to make.
In her hospital room, Ciara tells Ben she’s leaving Salem with Theo. She can’t be around everyone who expects her to be someone she doesn’t remember. She needs a fresh start. Ben gets that but why is she going with Theo? Ciara says she likes being around him and he makes her feel safe. He never murdered a single soul. When Ciara declares she and Theo are more than friends, Ben reminds her they are married. Ciara explains they aren’t a couple yet but are seeing where things go. Regardless, she’s leaving with him. Tears fall as Ben promises to give her space and begs her to not leave Salem.

Theo is coming off as the villain here. I thought the opposite. Ben was acting very controlling and abusive and it made me root for her to be with Theo. |

I’m a little behind but so far I don’t think what Theo has done is that bad. He’s not lying to her. He’s tried talking to Ciara several times about how she’s with Ben. Ciara tells him she doesn’t want that. He’s been honest about not wanting to fall for her and lose her. He’s not being manipulative as far as I can tell.
I think he’s been in love with her most of his life. He wants to take care of her and make her feel safe and happy.
I know eventually Ciara will remember and will probably turn this around and make Theo the villain but I don’t feel he is.

Theo is coming off as the villain here. I agree. Theo is taking advantage of someone who is suffering from some mental trauma and obviously isn't themselves. He knows that she loves Ben, however he's still using this to his advantage in order to be with Ciara. I do believe that he is still in love with her and wants to protect her, but how is she gonna feel about him once she remembers her life with Ben? How will she react to Theo's actions? I know that overall Theo is a good person and would never intentionally do anything to hurt Ciara, but how is what he's doing now any different from Stefan and Abigail during her mental break? It's still a person taking advantage and making life decisions with someone who is not in their right mind. And why is no one else but Ben and Theo talking to her about this? And advising her not to make life changing decisions right now? |

It's still a person taking advantage and making life decisions with someone who is not in their right mind. And why is no one else but Ben and Theo talking to her about this? And advising her not to make life changing decisions right now? How what Theo is doing is different than what Stefan did: 1. Not remembering a previous relationship is different from dissociating. Ciara is not "having a mental breakdown." Ciara is not remembering a relationship that she has made clear she does not want to remember. 2. Theo did not rape Ciara. In fact, they have not had sex. 3. Theo has said at least five times that Ciara is married to Ben. Ciara has said she doesn't care, is not interested in hearing that, and that she would like Theo AND Ben to respect her choices. Stefan ignored Abby saying she didn't want to sleep with him 30 seconds before he slept with her. 4. Theo has pointed out to Ciara that she might remember Ben and decide to be with him. She has said she doesn't care about that possibility and she and Theo have agreed to take it slowly and are not even in a relationship right now. 5. Theo has stopped Ben from abusing Ciara on at least two occassions -- definitely not something a villain does, nor remotely comparable to Stefan raping Abby. Meanwhile, Ben has: 1. Tried to inject Ciara with a drug against her will. 2. Continually come to her room after being asked by her to leave. 3. Informed her that she is his property and that she cannot choose to be with Theo or anyone other than him. In other words, Ben is abusive, controlling, and manipulative -- all things Stefan was with Abby. Theo is the opposite. |

I thought Ciara was the most annoying person in these scenes to be honest.

Theo and Ciara have not had sex -- yet. But going to another continent together implies that they will become intimate. I'm with mae00 . Dissociative or otherwise, Theo is taking advantage of the situation. He should encourage Ciara to remain in Salem and work with Marlena. Speaking of Marlena, where the heck is she? Where's Kayla in all this? |

The fact that he’s taking her out of the country and not encouraging her to remember the missing gap in her life and not just Ben but she’s missing a chunk of her life, it feels icky and a bit cowardly to me
If he felt so strongly about her and she claims he’s her safe place then he should offer to help and support her to fill in the pieces every step of the way, if by doing this and she does remember her obsession with Ben, she may even decide that Theo is the better option when she sees his devotion
He’s not really doing what’s right here so I agree he’s coming across as the villain
Ben is manipulative and was always on the abusive and controlling side and in no way do I want to see her back with him but to be fair, they are married and he risked his life saving her while everyone else insisted she was dead
She’s an ungrateful brat if you ask me
I also agree that he was way out of line trying to inject her against her will
In this scenario I feel like both guys suck and the poor damsel in distress is the most annoying brat
Her nonstop whining is like the mosquito you keep trying to swat and it keeps buzzing around

I kind of agree with that but it t also seems like she’s in a stressful situation and if stepping away for a while takes her mind off that she might just recover on her own.
I know Theo loves her but they have mostly been friends. I don’t feel like he’s got plans to seduce her. He also has encouraged her to try to stay AND everyone has been up front with her that she has amnesia.
I don’t know. Honestly, I’m just glad he’s taking her away. I’m not a fan of any of them.
