Chelsea and Daniel had coffee at Java Café and got to know each other better. He asked her to show him the hot spots in Salem and they bonded. Nick came in and joined them. They discussed how Daniel turned a hospital in Sweden "green". Nick said he wanted to drive a hydrogen car, but there were only 20 in the world. Daniel told him that he had one parked in Victor's garage and urged Nick to take it for a spin. Chelsea began to feel strange and Daniel wanted to take her to the hospital because she didn't look good. She insisted she was fine and went to get a cold drink. Nick asked Daniel if he went on coffee dates with all of his patients. Daniel suspected Nick had something to say and told him to say it. Nick asked if Daniel was making a move on his girlfriend. Daniel claimed he was just making a new friend. "Your girl is safe with me. I promise you that," he insisted, then praised Nick for calling him out. "Chicks dig that," Doc Jonas added. Chelsea returned, but Daniel was making a phone call, so Nick told her he loved her and apologized for being so wrapped up in his grant. He said he would put their relationship first going forward. Daniel came back, but said he had to go. Chelsea was disappointed. Daniel told Nick to keep an eye on Chels.

Philip's quest to find Brady hit a dead end, much to his and Chloe's chagrin. "This is all one big nightmare," she sighed. Chloe told him that the Austrian consulate left her another message. Philip vowed to take care of it. Nicole came in and asked what they were talking about. Philip told her they were talking about Brady. Nicole said she wanted to help, so Philip asked to talk to her alone. She said under one condition: that they went to dinner. He said it could be arranged. She said her dress needed to be seen and suggested going to Chez Rouge. He walked out to get the car. She called to get the phone number of the Austrian consulate.

Nicole and Philip walked in to Chez Rouge and she was thrilled to see that Sami was there. She made a beeline for her table. "Maybe I should tell Maggie to hide the crystal," Philip mused to himself. Sami was stunned to see her rival. Nicole pulled up a chair. "Oh, Sami, it is so good to see you. You look like you've just had twins! Congratulations, by the way." Sami told her to leave. Nicole eyed EJ and asked who he was. He introduced himself. Nicole thought he looked familiar. Sami said he was a lawyer and worked with Mickey. Philip fetched Nicole, saying their table was ready. "Oh, thank God. Someone else you can annoy," Sami retorted. Nicole left with Philip, but not before telling Sami that she was in Salem to stay. When Nicole left, EJ asked Sami about her. Sami gave him a brief synopsis. At their table, Nicole asked Philip what he wanted to talk to her about. "You," he replied. "My favorite subject!" she exclaimed. He said he wasn't messing around and that her arrival upset Victor. "I don't like when my father's upset," he said. She said she didn't either and wanted her relationship with Victor to work. Philip told her she was crazy and was working with his lawyers to make sure she wouldn't get any K money. Panicked, she returned to EJ and Sami's table and asked EJ for some legal advice.

Chloe looked for Philip in the mansion, unaware that he was out to dinner. The phone rang; Chloe picked it up. It was for her, but the person hung up. The doorbell rang. It was two men from the Austrian consul, advising Chloe to come with them.

John surprised Marlena at her office. He explained he decided to give her what she wants, the old John. Marlena asked what he meant. He said that it was a problem that she wouldn't accept that the old John was gone. "You need to be convinced that there's no going back," he said, then asked her to hypnotize him. She said that it might not solve his problem, which is his memory loss. She asked how he felt about Stefano doing that to him. He admitted it made him angry when he thought about what Stefano did to him, but that karma worked it out for him with Stefano in the coma and John heir to his fortune. He re-stated his desire for her to hypnotize him, but asked if she was willing to accept the outcome in case he didn't get his memory back. She said she'd try. She put him under. He remembered a cold room and Dr. Rolf. She told him to remember a happy place. He said he did: the mansion. Marlena told him about past times they had together. Cue the John/Marlena flashbacks. She asked if he remembered any of the times she described. A frustrated John said no. She brought him out of the hypnotic state and told him he didn't remember anything. She told him she wouldn't interfere with how he chose to live his life. "You'll accept me, Blondie. I just know you will," he insisted.
