At the mansion, Sami played with Allie and Johnny and told them she wouldn't let them be separated. EJ came in, overheard, and told her she really didn't have a choice.

He reminded her that she had no income or permanent residence. John and Marlena came in as they were arguing. Sami explained that she was upset over the joint custody situation. Marlena told her that she should leave well enough alone. Sami told them to go to hell and stormed out of the room. John followed her and offered support to her. A thankful Sami hugged him and wept.
