Rafe suggested he and Sami head off to a picnic at "their spot." Sami liked the idea, but wanted to take him someplace different. Before they left, the air conditioning unit started making weird noises. Rafe tried to fix it and ended up falling off the ladder. Sami found him and started crying that she couldn't lose him, too. Rafe was fine and managed to calm Sami down. Sami apologized and asked how Rafe got through his grief for Emily. Rafe said you deal with it over time and that he thanked God every day for finding Sami. Sami told Rafe to go take a shower. She'd head to their picnic site and leave him directions how to get there. Later, a freshly showered Rafe emerged and read Sami's note. "Oh no. Not there," he said. Meanwhile, Sami arrived at the park, where she noticed someone crying out for Emily.

Maggie congratulated Melanie on passing her nursing school exam and gave her a hug. She picked up a notebook, as Mia walked in and said it was hers. Maggie started reading what Mia had written and commented on how good it was. She urged Mia to start a journal. Mia said she'd give it a try. Meanwhile, Will entered Java Cafe looking for Mia. Chad mentioned Kinsey telling him Mia was in rehab, but said he didn't buy it. Mia never even touched a cigarette in high school. Will said it was Mia's business and left. Mia arrived, and Chad told her he found out why she had to leave school so suddenly. Mia dropped a coffee cup and broke it. Chad mentioned the whole rehab thing. Mia claimed she got caught up in the wrong crowd after Chad left for reform school. Chad noticed Mia's hand was bleeding and took hold of it as Will returned. Mia went to tend to her cut, leaving Chad and Will to bicker. Mia returned saying the boss told her to go home. Will offered to drive her, but Mia declined. Will warned Chad to stay away from Mia. Chad muttered he wasn't buying Mia's rehab story. Mia returned home and typed into her laptop about what happened. She decided people thinking she was in rehab was better than knowing she was pregnant. She didn't want Chad finding out she gave their baby away.

EJ told Nicole he ran into Mia and Will at the park and that they discussed Grace. Alone, Nicole told Stefano she had Mia under control, but worried about Rafe and Sami.

Nicole watched through the pub window. Brady told Arianna he had to go to a meeting and left. Nicole asked Brady if he was okay. He insisted he was. Later, Brady ran into Maggie on the pier. He mentioned kissing Arianna and that it was a mistake. Nicole entered the pub and started talking to Arianna about Rafe. Arianna said she didn't gossip about her brother. Melanie came in. Arianna told her to stop trying to fix her up with Brady. Arianna got a call and told the person she would "make it happen." Melanie wondered what the mysterious call was about. Arianna made up an excuse. Melanie could tell Arianna was lying.

Alone, EJ asked Stefano what was going on. Nicole already knew about the trust fund. Stefano admitted he and Nicole were worried about how Grace's death affected EJ. He noted how loyal Nicole had been and how her only concern was easing EJ's pain. Stefano urged EJ to get Sami out of his head. Nicole returned. EJ informed her that Stefano told him everything. Nicole panicked, insisting she could explain. EJ stopped her, noting Stefano told him how worried she was about him since Grace died. EJ admitted Nicole's concern touched him, but told her not to keep secrets. In the end they always came out.
