Nathan caught Melanie on the computer and asked if she was planning to cheat on her nursing test. She insisted she wasn't cheating, but that she needed some help. They argued. Nathan told Mel about Maggie's past (her parents were killed in a car accident that left Maggie paralyzed) to make her understand why it was important to be passionate about medicine. Melanie was moved and agreed to give it a try.

Victor chastised Brady for getting water all over the living room after his swim. He invited his grandson to breakfast at the Brady Pub, but Brady said no. Victor asked why he had a problem with the Pub. Brady said it wasn't the Pub; it was the new manager. Victor asked what was going on with this woman. Nothing, Brady insisted. Vic suggested she was looking to her her hooks into Brady. Brady explained that the woman wasn't even interested in him. Vic thought she was crazy, then. Brady got dressed. When he came back, Victor told Brady that he was proud of him and assured him he'd find the right woman. "And when you do, she'll be well worth the wait," Vic said.

Sami had a picnic in the park with Johnny and Allie. Nicole came by with baby Sydney. The women sat and talked. Sami hugged Nicole and thanked her for getting EJ to drop the custody suit. It was awkward, which they both acknowledged with terms like "the apocalypse" and "hell freezing over." Nicole commented that they had both lost their little girls. When Sami asked what she meant, Nic covered that she had a health scare with Syd after the baby was born. Sami asked why she phrased it that way then. Nicole stammered to explain. Sami then talked about losing Grace. Nicole pointed out that she had three wonderful children and a great guy in Rafe. Sami asked if she and Nicole could declare a truce. Nicole said yes, it was time.

Rafe unpacked more boxes at Sami's place. Arianna came by with breakfast. Rafe offered her a picture to take home, but she didn't want it. She asked why he was giving his things away, then realized he was moving in with Sami. She said she saw it coming, but doesn't think it's a great idea because it was too soon. The conversation turned to her. She did admit she was interested in someone, but had changed her mind because the guy was a recovering addict.

Rafe came upon Sami and Nicole in the park and saw that Sami was crying. He asked if Nic was upsetting her. No, Sami explained, they had called a truce. Sami went to get the kids from the sandbox while Rafe chatted with Nicole. He again asked why she was so upset at Grace's grave. Nicole got defensive, then took the kids and left. Sami asked Rafe what he said to her. Back at the apartment, he mentioned Nicole grieving at Grace's grave. He and Sami happily looked to their future.

At the DiMera mansion, Stefano looked at a photo and file he had on Rafe.

Melanie went to the Pub and splurged on a sundae. Ari asked her what was wrong. Melanie told her she thought she bombed her nursing exam. Mel asked why Ari couldn't be with Brady and explained that he had been sober for a while. Ari said she just couldn't and got up to work. Melanie grabbed her cell and rushed out. Brady met her on the pier. She told him that she talked to Ari at the Pub and that Ari likes Brady. He refused to get sucked into her matchmaking schemes. She headed to work. Nathan caught her running in. She said she would get in trouble if she was late. He held the results from her nursing exam: She passed. He pointed out that she still owed him dinner. "You're on," she smiled.... Ari made a call to someone to say she was named manager of the Pub and was "good to go." Brady came in to see her.

Nicole returned to the DiMera manse and was about to pour herself a drink when Stefano walked in and startled her. Nic told the Phoenix that Rafe was still grilling her and began to spin. Stefano assured her he would take care of it and she had nothing to worry about.
