At the hospital, Sydney began to cry when the nurse readied her for the DNA tests EJ wanted. Stefano assured Nicole everything would be fine, then he took a call. Nicole noted — out loud — that she would not lose her baby. Mia overheard and asked her what was wrong with Sydney. Nicole insisted Sydney was fine and was just getting blood work done to make sure she's healthy. She also explained that she had it covered and the DNA results would be a match to Nicole and EJ. Mia said she would have given her DNA or blood work, but Nicole pointed out that Mia gave up her rights to Sydney a long time ago. Mia explained that she still cared about the baby. Later, she went to the park and typed in her online diary. She had a flashback to happier times with Chad and wrote that she didn't hate him, though she knew she should.

Rafe was thrilled when Sarah the nurse recognized a photo of Sami on his cell phone. Sarah revealed that Sami gave birth to a baby girl the night EJ was at the clinic. Sarah looked through the files, but couldn't find Sami's records. Rafe returned to the Brady Pub after and filled in Arianna about what he found out at the clinic. He pointed out how "miraculous" it was that Nicole and Sami gave birth in the same place on the same night. They tried to get to the bottom of what was going on. Rafe thought Nicole may have heard Sami was in labor and went to the clinic to "do something" that she thought nobody would ever find out about. Ari couldn't believe Nicole would do something to harm a baby. Rafe said he wouldn't put it past her, then brought up all the time Nicole was squirrely after Grace's death. Ari warned him about going up against the DiMeras, but he said it was something he had to do. He noted that even though they were split, he still loved Sami and had to get answers for her.

At the station, Bo and Hope tried to come to an agreement with how to deal with Ciara's disappearance. Bo assured his wife that Ciara would be fine and they'd get her back. Bo went outside to meet the press, even though Hope was not on board. Justin talked it out with her. Bo made an on-air plea, offering $5 million in reward money for any information that would help them find Ciara or her kidnappers. Hope and Justin came out while Bo was talking. Bo called Hope over to join him during the live feed and she was forced to go on camera. "Help us," she plead. After, she excoriated Bo for bringing her into it. "You're going to get her killed!" Hope cried, then ran out, saying she couldn't stand to look at him. Justin came upon her in the park and comforted her. Bo found them and told Justin to step off because he was getting too close.

In the cabin, Dean, Kyle and Brenda argued over how to proceed with Ciara after Bo's declaration that he wouldn't pay ransom. They watched Bo's press conference with wide eyes and expressed panic. Dean tried to calm down Brenda and Kyle while flicking his lighter. Ciara heard the noise.

Will put up MISSING signs for Ciara all over town. He ran into his pal and said he couldn't attend a party that night. Chad came over during their chat and overheard Will say he couldn't go. Mia arrived at the Cheatin' Heart later and found out that Will wasn't showing up. She went to call him. Chad walked in and his pal, T, asked him to watch the music player. Chad put on his and Mia's song. They locked eyes just as Will walked in.

In the Dominican Republic, a desperate Dr. Baker needed to get his hands on some cash to pay off his bookie. He called Nicole and told her he wanted more money. He threatened to blow the lid off the baby switch with Sami if Nic didn't pay up. She reported into Stefano after. He said he would take care of Baker.
