Brady watched EJ chastising one of the DiMera minions and asked what was going on. EJ told him it was none of his business. Brady expressed his concern regarding Nicole. "I don't think she has any idea in the world what kind of guy you really are," said Brady. Brady and EJ bickered, then Brady got a call from Nicole and had to split. EJ entered the pub to find Chloe and Lucas. Chloe showed EJ her ring and announced she and Lucas were engaged. EJ responded that he and Nicole were engaged, too. When Chloe went to phone Nicole, EJ told Lucas he told Sami she was free. "Why the hell would I want to know that?" snapped Lucas, noting he didn't want EJ's sloppy seconds. He'd moved on. Later, Chloe and Lucas met Kate at the Kiriakis mansion. Kate announced she was hosting an engagement party for them tonight. Chloe noted it wasn't a good time for her, as she flashed back to Daniel. Bes ides, she didn't want Kate to put herself out. Ultimately, Chloe agreed to go ahead with the party. Kate was delighted and left to invite another guest: Daniel. Alone, Lucas asked Chloe why she didn't want to have the party. Was she having second thoughts about marrying him? Despite continuing to think about Daniel, Chloe insisted she wasn't.

Brady met Nicole, noticed she wasn't wearing her pregnancy padding, and assumed she told EJ she lost their baby. Nicole said she didn't, and she and Brady bickered. Then, she told Brady what was going on with Mia and asked him to pretend he was her fiancé. Brady refused, noting he was tired of lying. Nicole implored Brady to help her, noting how empty she felt without her baby. She needed Mia's baby to feel whole again. Just then Mia walked up and asked if Brady was Nicole's' fiance.
