Rafe met with his FBI contact and handed over the DNA items of Sydney's and Sami's. Arianna followed him, explaining that he sneaked out of the house and she was worried. He told her he was fine. She again asked if he was concerned that Sami and EJ would grow closer once they learned they shared another child. "I don't want to lose Sami, okay? Especially to an arrogant jerk like DiMera. But I have to do this; it's the right thing to do," he told her. She revealed that she had a chat with EJ the night before.

At the hospital, Chad and Nicole awaited the results of the DNA test. Lexie spied them talking and warned Chad later that Nicole couldn't be trusted.

Sami called EJ and said she thought she left something of Grace's at his house the night before. He gently corrected her that she meant something of Johnny's. She said she sometimes made that slip of the tongue. He offered to bring it to her. She said he didn't have to, but he said it would be nice to be able to see her and talk to her alone. Stefano came in and noted how quiet it was in the house. "Don't start, please," EJ replied, noting that he didn't need to have another talk about Sydney and Nicole. He told his father he wouldn't press charges against Nicole because he felt she had suffered enough. He then headed to Sami's and told her he had an ulterior motive for coming there: he wanted to visit Grace's grave together. They headed to the cemetery and had a good, open talk about their feelings about Grace, Nicole an Sydney. He told her he had stayed mad at her too long about Grace. After, they headed back to her place. She asked if he forgave her. He said maybe, then asked her not to tell Stefano about their truce. "You know the DiMera stance on forgiveness," he cracked. Rafe called Sami and heard EJ in the background. He asked what EJ was doing there, but Sami couldn't tell him at that moment. EJ went to leave. Sami again reminded him that she just wants him to be happy. He said he wanted the same for her.

Nicole went to the DiMera manse to talk to Stefano. The Phoenix told Nic that EJ seemed to be softening towards her. He thought there was a chance for reconciliation. Nicole headed back to Sami's and revealed that she and Sydney might be moving out soon. "Things are looking up," she smiled. Sami was happy for her, then slipped that Rafe was back in town — and working on a super secret case. Uh oh.

Nathan and Steph ran into each other at the Brady Pub. He was headed home after an all-night shift. She told him to drive carefully. A woman began to cough; Nathan took care of her. "You saved her life," lauded Caroline.

Melanie talked to Brady, who wasn't in a good mood — and neither was she. She asked if they could talk and explained that she was having guy drama with Nathan and Philip. He advised her to dump them both and go it alone. She told him he sounded jaded and realized it had to do with Arianna. He said they had broken up permanently. He urged Melanie to examine her feelings for Philip before she made a decision about her future. After, Melanie encountered Philip on the pretense of looking for Brady. He called her on it.

Brady went to the Pub and saw Arianna. Caroline was surprised to see Ari, who was early for her shift. Arianna told Caroline that she was giving notice, effective immediately. Caroline was surprised and asked why she wanted to quit.
