EJ went to talk to him. Nicole asked about the bruises on Brady's face. EJ told Victor he was sorry about what happened to Philip. "That he survived?" retorted Victor, noting EJ should save his worry for Stefano.

Mia told Dr. Baker she saw her baby, but didn't feel anything. Baker explained the reason: Sydney wasn't her child. He noted that Mia didn't feel emotionally connected to Sydney, because she gave her up and never bonded with her. Mia worried about Sydney growing up with a bunch of murderers. Dr. Baker warned the DiMeras were dangerous, and Mia should never cross them. Mia told Baker about another baby that she was drawn to. Baker wondered who the tyke was. Later, Mia showed up to see Will. She asked if he'd talked with Sami about her babysitting Grace."You didn't come to see me?" asked Will. Will invited Mia to go to the pub. Mia said no. Will noted Grace would be there. Mia changed her mind. Will joked about using his little sister as date bait. At the pub, Will handed Grace to a happy Mia.

"I just want to tell you what you mean to me before it's too late," Sami announced to Rafe at the airport. Rafe wasn't interested.

He told Sami how much Grace meant to him and that he'd laid out a plan to keep her safe, but she went ahead and told EJ he was her father. Sami said she didn't tell EJ and explained about EJ putting a hit on Philip. Rafe wasn't surprised and was glad Sami finally saw EJ for who he really is. Sami and Rafe made up. Sami suggested heading to her place. Rafe said he was still going to New York, because he wanted to be a bigger part of Sami's life than she was ready for. Rafe turned to board his plane, but Sami threw herself at him, insisting she wasn't letting him go.
