Chloe joined Nicole and Sydney at the pub. They discussed the dismal situation with EJ. Nicole insisted EJ would never turn his back on his little girl. Chloe pointed out he already had and asked about Sydney's real parents. Nicole insisted she and EJ were the child's real parents. Chloe suggested Nicole walk away from this whole mess. Nicole refused, insisting EJ would take her and Sydney back. "We are a package deal," she noted.

A dejected EJ wandered around the mansion. Kate walked in and told him his life was going to be much better now that "that lying bitch" Nicole was out of it. EJ walked into the foyer to find a pile of suitcases. Mary said Kate asked her to pack Nicole's things. Soon, Nicole returned, EJ instructed her to get her things and leave. Nicole announced she and Sydney were there to stay. She asked EJ if he'd missed his daughter and reminisced about Sydney. EJ ordered Nicole to stop. He told Sydney he loved her. Then, EJ ordered both mother and child out. He wasn't going to be a party to Nicole's lie anymore.

Chloe got a call from Lucas asking if she'd received the annulment papers. She had and thanked him. Lucas said he signed the papers as step nine in his 12-step program, making amends. He said there was somethi ng Chloe could do for him: never see Allie again. Kate walked in and overheard. "Why can't you leave my son alone?" she asked, noting how she wished Chloe would slip back into a coma and die. Kate asked what Lucas and Chloe were talking about. Chloe said that was between them. Chloe dug it in that she and Daniel were having a happy ending and how it galled Kate. Alone, Kate doubted Victor would ever let Daniel and Chloe have a happy ending.

Victor went off on Bo about Kate walking the streets after poisoning Chloe and framing Daniel for it. He mentioned how Kate married Stefano and gained amnesty; then, a few days later, her husband was at death's door. Bo accused Victor of being jealous. Victor denied it, insisting Stefano was welcome to his ex. Speaking of exes, Victor picked up a newspaper and showed Bo the headline: Lawrence Alamain Dead. Bo wondered what happened and said he hoped Carly was okay. Victor advised his son to focus on his troubled marriage and not worry about Carly. Bo pointed out he hadn't talked to Carly in years and doubted he would. Victor said Bo was his only male heir to get it right when it came to affairs of the heart. He offered to find Hope and bring her home. Bo declined, noting Hope would return when she was ready.

Justin arrived at Hope's hotel room. Hope announced she needed a lawyer. She wanted to put Ciara in a private school like her psychologist recommended and didn't think Bo wo uld consent to it. Justin told her Bo said he would do anything in the world to save their marriage and asked if Hope felt the same way. Hope admitted Bo is the only man she ever loved. Justin advised Hope to tell Bo that and picked up the phone. Hope wasn't ready to make the call. She asked Justin to convince Bo to sign the consent forms, insisting she just wanted Ciara to be okay and for their family to be together again. Later, Hope talked to Ciara, who asked when they were going home. "Soon," promised Hope.

Carly was in a boat cabin perusing the article about Lawrence's murder and flashed back to killing him. Omar walked in and asked if she was seasick. Then, he remembered Carly lived on a boat years ago. Carly flashed back to a moment with Bo. Carly thanked Omar for fetching her at the airport. The conversation turned to Lawrence. Omar assumed Carly was fleeing the people who killed him. "No. I did it," confessed Carly. Omar imagined Lawrence must have done something horrible to drive her to murder. "He did," contended Carly. Omar assured Carly he wouldn't abandon her in her hour of need. Carly had another flashback of fighting with Lawrence. Omar returned. Carly said she wished she could have gotten to Salem last night. She knew Lawrence's men were on her trail. Carly asked Omar for a ship-to-shore phone. Omar brought her one, noting outgoing calls could be monitored. He suggested waiting until landfall to make contact.
