After quitting, Melanie ran into a cute guy at the hospital. He was looking for the administration offices. She was a little tongue tied, but sent him in the right direction. Brady spied the exchange and teased her for already falling for the new guy. She said she was excited because she was moving to London. He was surprised, then told her she had good reasons for staying in Salem — she had friends and she was starting nursing school. He had to go to a hospital board meeting and told her not to leave town without talking to him. After, she asked her boss, the nurse, who the guy she ran into was, unaware that he was behind her. Awkward! She introduced herself. He said his name was Nathan and he had just arrived from out of town. He got a call and took off. Maggie arrived to bring Melanie her wallet, which she had left on the kitchen counter.

At Java Café, Kate and her assistant Chris discussed getting Daniel on HOME & HEARTH. She wanted him to dig up dirt on Doc Jonas and came down hard on him, which got him flustered. Chris emailed a contact and got some info, which pleased Kate.

Daniel took a run in the park. He ran into Chloe and she imagined making out with him. She then told him she heard he pulled out of her TV segment. She explained that she had pulled herself together and that she and Lucas had made up. "Things are fine between us," she said. She got teary and thanked Daniel for being there for her when she needed him the most. They had an emotional good-bye and shook hands. After, Kate called him and asked him to meet her. While waiting, Kate fantasized about visiting Chloe's grave. Daniel came in and asked why she was so happy. Kate said she had an offer for him that he couldn't refuse about the TV show. She said she would match his generous salary and donate the money to the breast cancer charity of his choice in memory of his late wife, Rebecca. He said he never told her Rebecca had breast cancer. She played it off. He grilled Kate about why she was so determined to put him on TV with Chloe knowing everything she knew. She said she didn't want bitterness destroying her life and she was trying to get past it all. He still said no. She explained that they would be doing medical segments about breast cancer, too, that he could be a part of. She advised him to think about it, then left. Maggie, who overheard some of the discussion, approached Daniel and asked if he was really considering it. "She's got me in a box," he lamented. Maggie said Kate could be a handful, but perhaps he should concentrate on what good could come out of it. He called Kate and accepted her offer. She was thrilled and asked him to meet her at Victor's house. She held her bottle of poison and said it would all be over soon.

Chloe went to church and prayed. Father Matt approached her. She was crying and said she couldn't stop thinking about a man who wasn't her husband. She wept that she would never be over Daniel and was more in love with him than ever. He counseled her that fantasies were not reality.

Stephanie read the note she snatched from Philip. "The new car for Miss Stephanie has been delivered and is parked in the driveway," it read. He explained it was for her college graduation. She began to cry because she had ruined his surprise with her paranoia. Philip assured her that everything was okay and she didn't ruin anything. She went to see the car, but was overwhelmed by how expensive it was. He remarked her it was energy efficient and she'd be doing the environment a favor. She laughed and accepted his extravagant gift. He then told her that he brokered a truce with the DiMeras and she could rest easy. He excused himself. She popped a pill. He brought back champagne and they had some. She got a buzz from the pill and booze combo and began seducing him on the terrace. Brady walked in on them, saying he was looking for Victor. Philip told his nephew about the deal with the DiMeras, then got a call and had to take it in the other room. Brady and Steph discussed Grace's funeral, which was later that day. Brady revealed that the baby was actually Sami's biological daughter and she kept it quiet because the father was EJ's. Steph visibly recoiled. He asked if she was okay. She said she shouldn't have any more champagne. Brady mentioned that EJ might be at the funeral and perhaps she couldn't go. Philip returned and told her he had to go to Chicago and couldn't go to the funeral. Steph was insistent that she would attend.

Melanie went home and found a shirtless Nathan in the kitchen. They were surprised to see each other. She asked what he was doing in her house.
