Brady ran into an upset Melanie on the pier and asked what Philip had done to her. She ranted about men in general and broke down in tears. Brady took her in his arms. She wondered why he was being so nice to her. Brady took Melanie to the Cheatin' Heart to blow off some steam. They played darts.

At Titan, Stephanie was alarmed to discover that she lost all of her computer files. Philip got a call and learned that the outage was company wide. “Titan's entire database was wiped clean,” he reported, then flashed back to his conversation with EJ about the fuels project. An IT person came to check out the damage and explained that a worm had entered the system and everything was lost. Philip asked him to recover the fuels project files first, then left.

Nicole came into the DiMera manse and found EJ on his laptop. She confronted him about Sami and Rafe and why he cared that they kissed. He gave her a passionate kiss and said he is only interested in her when it comes to kissing. He then lamely explained that he was worried about Johnny's safety with regard to Rafe since they never found out who ordered the hit on the mayor. Once Nicole calmed down, she told EJ how she had found a wedding dress and needed a down payment because the store didn't take credit cards. He asked what happened to the down payment she had already given him. She lied that she used it for other wedding planning. He gave her some more money.

Stefano called a contact to learn what Nicole was hiding at the Convent of the Holy Cross. After, Roman called the Phoenix and asked him to come to the station to talk about the mayor's murder. Stefano refused and said he would only come in if served a subpoena. Stefano then made a call to someone insisting that all ties he had to the mayor's killer be permanently destroyed. There was a knock at the door; it was Philip, looking for EJ. Stefano sent him into the living room. Philip talked about the worm virus and assumed EJ was responsible; EJ said it was a baseless accusation and made vague threats while pawing Nicole throughout. Sydney began to cry; Nicole excused herself to check on the baby. She called Brady, who was still with Melanie. She told him what was going on with Philip and EJ and she worried that Philip would go back on his word and tell EJ that she and Brady had a secret. She asked him to check in on what was going on at Titan. He hung up on her and called the office. He then told Melanie what happened with the computer system and the fuels project. She was dismayed.

EJ and Philip finished their chat. After Philip left, Stefano congratulated his son on his handling of young Kiriakis. Nicole entered and the conversation turned to Sydney. Stefano made a pointed comment about how well Mary was looking after her. He then noted that the baby girl looks just like Johnny. EJ agreed. Nicole excused herself to check on the baby. Stefano asked EJ why Nicole seemed so rattled. EJ noted that Sami was back and Nic wasn't thrilled. Up in Sydney's room, Nicole wondered why Sami left Grace at the convent and was determined to find out.

At the convent, Sami confronted Sister Theresa and demanded to know who had held her daughter. She also wondered where Grace was. Sister Theresa explained that another nun had taken the baby for a walk. Sami was happy when she was reunited with her daughter. After, she went to the Brady Pub and caught up with her father. Roman warned her that he felt Stefano was responsible for the hit on the mayor and that she shouldn't trust the DiMeras. She then asked him to talk to the ISA on Rafe's behalf or get him a job at the Salem PD. Roman said there was a hiring freeze at the department. He assured her that Rafe would be fine and she needed to move on. She said she was working on picking up the pieces.

Philip returned to Titan and told Stefano he was going to kill EJ.
