EJ was stunned when he answered Nicole's cell phone, and Brady revealed "the secret is out." EJ demanded to know what Brady meant. Brady insisted EJ put Nicole on the line as it went dead. Nicole walked in anxious to head out to dinner. EJ dropped the bomb about Brady's call and wanted to know what secret he was talking about. Nicole feigned ignorance. EJ suggested they call Brady back. Nicole hemmed and hawed; then, concocted a story: The "secret" was Brady was doing cocaine again. "You are lying to me," yelled EJ. Nicole refused to phone Brady, pooh-poohing EJ's suspicions. EJ announced they were leaving Paris and heading home to confront Brady together. On the plane, Nicole said she would tell EJ everything.

Chloe accepted Daniel's marriage proposal, and they kissed. Daniel said he wanted to share their news with someone who was like a father to him: Victor. After all, Victor bailed him out of jail and got him an attorney. "I owe him a lot," said Daniel. Chloe concurred and said she wanted to share their news with someone important to her. Chloe met with Father Matt and explained how her marriage to Lucas wasn't real or based on love. Hence, she wanted an annulment, since Daniel had proposed. Daniel met with Victor and explained he'd been reinstated at the hospital and was staying in town. Victor was thrilled. Then, Daniel revealed that he and Chloe were engaged. "You can't be serious," said Victor, noting how she ruined Philip, Brady and Lucas's lives. Daniel went on about how much he loved Chloe. Victor wasn't swayed. "I'd rather die than see you marry that whore," he spat.

Chad phoned Mia to ask about Lucas, then, told her he still didn't believe she was ever on drugs or in rehab. Mia didn't care what Chad believed and told him to stay away from her. Will interrupted to lament about his crazy parents. That's why he respected what Mia did: giving her baby away to two parents who could really love her. Mia agreed, noting they were "good people." Will wondered how she knew, since it was a closed adoption. Mia covered, noting the information was in a report from the adoption agency. Mia's phone rang and it was Brady. He needed to see her, pronto. Mia got rid of Will. Brady arrived and revealed he wasn't certain EJ and Nicole could give Sydney a happy life anymore. He warned that EJ might be closing in on learning Sydney was adopted. Mia freaked. Brady said he'd get back to Mia once he knew something definite. Mia phoned Will, revealing something awful might be happening and it had to do with her baby. Chad, who was outside eavesdropping, walked in and confronted Mia about having a baby, his baby.

Arianna confronted Sami about doing something to Rafe, noting she hadn't heard from him in days. Sami revealed she hadn't talked to Rafe either and said they were broken up. "Still?" asked Arianna, insisting Rafe was "crazy in love" with Sami. Arianna realized something was terribly wrong. Sami suggested calling Roman. Arianna pulled a 180. She suggested Rafe was off clearing his head, which was a good thing, since Sami didn't deserve him. Sami swore she loved Rafe. Arianna apologized and promised to let Sami know when she heard from him. Will arrived. Sami wanted to talk about Mia and her drug abuse. Will revealed none of it was true. It was Mia's coverup story. She'd actually had a baby and given it up. He made Sami promise not to tell a soul, and she agreed. Will left to see Mia, after getting her SOS call. Sami left Rafe another message to call her.

"What the hell are you doing?" asked a woozy Rafe. Meredith told him what she should have done years ago, when he killed her sister. Rafe said he didn't kill Emily. He loved her. Meredith pointed out how quickly he replaced her with Sami. Rafe pointed out how long it took him to fall in love again, but swore he hadn't forgotten Emily. Rafe wondered what Meredith was going to do with him and said she wouldn't get away with it. "I don't want to," retorted Meredith, noting how she'd lost her job and couldn't be happy without her sister. She didn't care if she got arrested or died, as long as Rafe died first. Rafe told Meredith she could walk away from this. He wouldn't report a thing. She wasn't interested.
