Bo put Carly in his bedroom, noting it was the most secure room in the house because it has shades and is upstairs. She thought Justin could help her out of her bind, but Bo wasn't on board because he was living at Victor's. Carly believed Justin could be discreet.

Justin joined Hope at the Brady Pub. Hope told him that Ciara had a class project due the next day called "Things I'm Grateful For." Hope noted she wasn't one of them because she took Ciara away from her father and her home. Justin helped Ciara and got her to smile and include Hope in her collage. Hope was touched. She and Ciara headed out. Bo called Justin and said he needed to see him right away. Bo met Justin at the pub and said he had a friend who needed his legal help. Bo revealed it was Carly.

Brady was stunned by Victor's announcement that Arianna is a drug dealer. He refused to believe it. Victor insisted it was true. Brady had a flashback to finding cocaine in the Pub.

Will talked to Lucas in rehab and told him about Mia.

EJ and Stefano discussed Sydney. Stefano insisted EJ was the baby's father and he should let her back in his life. EJ said that he was taking control of things and didn't want any more Sydney or Nicole drama. "I get enough drama from Samantha as it is," he pointed out. Stefano pushed, so EJ asked why his father was so interested. Stefano explained that EJ was never happier than when he was with Nicole and Sydney.

Rafe told Arianna he wasn't going to tell Sami about Sydney until he had proof. To that end, he needed to procure DNA samples.

Nicole comforted a devastated Mia on the pier. Sami overheard Nicole telling Mia that she did the right thing and asked what that meant. Nic didn't respond. Sami confronted Mia over her "slut in Chicago" story and demanded to know if it's true. Nicole defended Mia by saying she did the right thing by telling the truth. Sami pointed out that Mia hurt both Will and Chad with her lies. Mia apologized. Nicole told Sami to knock it off. Sydney began to fuss. Sami told Nic she would play nice with Mia, so Nicole took the baby home. Sami calmed down and talked to Mia. The teen admitted she still loved Will and wondered if he could ever forgive her. Sami said she'd have to ask Will that.

Rafe went to Sami's townhouse and sneaked in. He spied Nicole's suitcase in the living room and realized Nic was staying there. "One stop shopping for DNA," he noted. He swiped a teething ring of Sydney's then heard keys in the door. It was Nicole. Rafe hid behind a piece of furniture. She looked for the baby's teething ring, but couldn't find it. Her cell phone rang; it was Stefano. They talked and from Nicole's end of it, Rafe could tell the Phoenix was on her side. She headed to the mansion. Rafe took Sami's toothbrush.

Arianna, who knew Rafe was at Sami's, called Sami and asked her to come over and talk, saying it was important. Sami apologized to Mia for being harsh on her, then took off. She arrived at Ari's and asked what was wrong. Ari said she was fine. Sami noticed something of Rafe's on the desk and excitedly asked if he was back in Salem. Ari covered, then covered further, saying she wanted to talk to Sami about Caroline. She suggested it was time for Caroline to retire so she could spend more time with her grandkids. Sami laughed that it would never happen. "Is that the emergency?" a confused Sami asked her. Before Ari could answer, Brady stormed in, saying they needed to talk. Sami excused herself and left. Ari went to call Rafe to warn him but Brady grabbed the phone. He ransacked her room, saying he was looking for her cocaine.

Mia went to the Java Café and ran into Will. She told him she loved him and asked if he could ever forgive her. He said she didn't deserve to be forgiven and walked out.

At the Kiriakis mansion, Hope told Victor that she had to pick up a photo album from her house, but was concerned about running into Bo. Vic urged her to go see him — and not hurry back. Hope entered the house, which was quiet. She assumed Bo was sleeping and headed upstairs. She went into the bedroom and saw Carly sleeping in her bed.

Rafe left the townhouse and ran right into a shocked Sami.
