EJ was in bed with Nicole, but fantasized about Sami. Nicole asked what was bothering him. EJ said it didn't concern her. EJ's cell rang, and he took the call, while Nicole checked on Sydney. Masi told EJ the job Stefano hired him to do was about to be finished. Nicole wandered downstairs with Sydney and handed her off to Mary, while EJ ordered Masi to stop whatever he had planned. The connection cut off, as Masi went on about completing the job. Nicole returned to the bedroom, and she and EJ resumed their antics. EJ's cell phone rang, again, but Nicole managed to keep him from going anywhere. Later, Nicole asked what EJ and Stefano were up to. EJ refused to explain. This was the way things were. Nicole either accepted it or their marriage would fail. Nicole realized there was something else distracting him: Sami! Nicole phoned Dr. Baker. Desperate to keep Sami and EJ from ever finding out Sydney was their baby, she ordered Baker to leave town. Baker hung up on her. Meanwhile, EJ talked to Stefano's portrait, noting Masi wouldn't be making any moves. Too bad EJ was wrong. Masi spoke to someone on the phone and gave them instructions to pick up an envelope on the pier and follow the instructions. Later, EJ checked his computer and learned he was right about Baker. There were quite a few skeletons in his closet.

Max asked Arianna if Chelsea had come back. She hadn't. Meanwhile, Chelsea was on the computer at the hospital. She searched med school applications trying to find out information for Max. "You are so busted!" cracked Melanie. Then, she ran over and tattled to Dr. Baker about an employee doing something unethical. Baker approached Chelsea and asked what she was doing. Melanie watched, called Max, and said Chelsea might have ruined his chances of getting into Salem U. med school. Chelsea told Baker she was just checking to see if her boyfriend had been accepted into med school and begged him not to tell her boss. Baker agreed. Max arrived and asked Chelsea what was going on. She dodged; then, realized Melanie must have called him. Later, Max and Chelsea arrived at the pub. Max insisted he wasn't upset Chelsea looked at his application. He was upset she felt she had to. He swore he wasn't leaving Salem. The pair kissed, when Chelsea's cell rang. Chelsea took the call and then gasped, "My mom was in an accident."

Sami and Rafe continued spatting. Rafe wondered if Sami was trying to make EJ jealous so he'd leave Nicole for her. Sami snapped. "If you really think that, then fine ... Get out," she barked. Then, she asked Rafe to stop. Rafe wondered what Sami would have done, if EJ had left Nicole at the altar and professed his love to her. He said the reason EJ thought Sami was in love with him was because she interrupted the wedding. Sami swore she wasn't and moved in on Rafe. Rafe backed off. "I'm not going to be your rebound guy," declared Rafe, calling Sami on liking EJ's attention. If Rafe seriously thought that, Sami said they had a "really big problem." Rafe left, just as Will walked in. He asked Sami if she and Rafe were getting back together. Sami didn't know. Outside, Rafe walked off steam, when he ran into Arianna. "I never thought I would see you again," she said, hugging him.

After booking a trip to Greece via her cell phone, Stephanie went into Philip's hospital room. He was grumpy. Philip wanted to get out of the hospital and go back to work. He had to take care of his enemies. Steph hated Philip being back in "revenge mode." "The DiMeras ordered a hit on me. Should I just forgive and forget? " he asked. Steph wanted Philip away from this pointless feuding and had a way to do it. She asked Philip to run away to Greece with her. Philip wasn't game. Melanie wheeled her cart into Philip's room bearing supper. Steph got a call and left. Melanie apologized to Philip for her part in the Kiriakis/DiMera feud. "I hope you kick their butts," noted Melanie. Philip said not everyone shared that sentiment. Steph overheard and tore up the travel brochures. Melanie left, and Steph returned. She told Philip she was okay with not going to Greece; then, got into bed with him.
