Roman arrived at Arianna's hotel, hoping she changed her mind about quitting her assignment. She hadn't. Roman was annoyed, since Arianna was closing in on the guy that runs a drug ring in town. Arianna said she'd fallen in love with Brady. He was a recovering addict, knew about drugs, and would figure things out. She also didn't want Brady finding out about her past. Roman told Arianna if she dropped out now, Brady would find out. Arianna got angry. Roman wasn't fazed, noting they were in "the home stretch."

At the Java Café, Rafe tried to figure out the Nicole/Grace connection. He made a call telling someone to meet him there. A nurse from the clinic showed up. Rafe told her Dr. Baker was dead and Nicole killed him. Rafe probed her about Nicole. Did she do something to make Grace sick? The nurse insisted she didn't and urged Rafe to let this go. It wasn't going to bring Grace back. Rafe muttered that she was wrong.

Nicole told Sami she had to call off Rafe. He was hounding her. She recounted how he dragged her to the convent. Sami defended Rafe, noting he helped her through the most difficult time of her life. Even though Rafe wasn't in her life, Nicole couldn't turn her against him. Nicole apologized; then, noted how volatile EJ had become since losing Grace.

She asked how Sami was and wondered if she could do anything for her. Sami said she needed answers and wondered if the nuns could help.

Brady ran into Nicole in the park and told her about his encounter with EJ. Nicole advised Brady to keep his distance from her husband.

"I don't need you to worry about me," retorted Arianna, noting she overheard Brady and Nicole's conversation and wondered what he did for her.

Nathan reported to Daniel and Melanie about the test results on Kate's gloves: no poison showed up on them. Daniel wanted Nathan to give Chloe another dose of the drug. Nathan was reluctant.

Daniel told Nathan they had to move fast or Chloe would die. After Daniel left, Nathan told Melanie they had to do it. Later, Melanie approached the drug cart. After a run-in with Maxine, she entered Chloe's room and Nathan injected their comatose patient. Meanwhile, Daniel learned the DA's deal: accept a plea of no contest and he'd get a light sentence. Daniel refused the offer. The DA wondered if Daniel realized the consequences if Chloe died. Daniel pondered the consequences if Chloe awakened.

Stefano tried to chat with Kate at the pub. She blew him off, noting that trying to assassinate Philip didn't endear him to her. Stefano reminded her he'd buried his son. Kate admitted she was under lots of stress. He asked if it was because she was trying to fend off rumors about what really happened to Chloe. Kate said she didn't need his help. She had help. Stefano noted Victor was paying for Daniel's defense and told Kate she could always come to him if she needed. "Not in a million years," responded Kate. Stefano returned to the mansion, where EJ announced he'd changed his mind about honeymooning with Nicole. Stefano wondered if Nicole knew about his decision.

Rafe continued wondering why Nicole was at the clinic, when Nicole walked in and handed him a restraining order. "You come anywhere n ear me again and you'll end up in jail," she warned.
