Kayla makes an appearance at Hope's hearing and insists that Hope shouldn't lose her badge. Melanie gives EJ half of the formula. Chelsea tells Max that she has feels for him.
Max soothes Chelsea's jealous anxiety about Stephanie, getting them back on kissing terms. After Roman informs them that Saùi won't be back soon, EJ she will for Gianni's sake, but reassuring Nicole that he's committed to her and Sydney can't prevent a nightmare of him finding out about the baby swap and unleashing the DiMera revenge. Philip stands his ground, refusing to go easy on Melanie, as Brady and Stephanie want, or to grant the scheming thief the elimination of her rival for a promise to remain with Titan.
Philip becomes upset when he learns Brady closed a deal with one of his clients. EJ has his team on trying to figure out the rest of the alternative fuel formula.
Stephanie catches Philip putting the moves on Melanie. Kate's test results come back and she is in remission. Maggie informs a drunk Lucas that Chloe cheated on him with Daniel.
Stephanie confronts Melanie about making out with Philip. Chloe is at Daniel's apartment when a drunk Lucas shows up to confront him when a gas leak causes an explosion.
Philip misinterprets the situation when he sees Nicole and Brady talking. He accuses Nicole of having an affair with Brady and questions Sydney paternity. Chloe promises God that if Lucas is okay she will make things work with him.
Sami's secret service detail ends. Hope refuses Bo when he asks her to move back home. Lucas doesn't remember anything that happened right before the explosion and Chloe plans to make sure he doesn't find out about her and Daniel.
Chloe breaks things off with Daniel when Lucas is alright and doesn't remember anything that just happened prior to the explosion. Sami arrives back in Salem.
Kate catches Chloe and Daniel kissing in the park. Sami holds Sydney and Nicole is dismayed when she has an emotional reaction to Sydney.
EJ tears up the formula to the alternative fuel project. Bo and Hope reconcile and she prepares to move back home. Bo later gets a vision of Hope in bed with another man. Sami tells Lucas her baby died and later as the two argue over Chloe, Will enters the room.
Lucas is delighted to see son Will visiting in hospital, and agrees to tell him the truth once Sami left, who gets to host him for the present. EJ assures her he's going to continue putting Johnny first, not behind Sydney, so Nicole must learn to behave or lose her groom. Brady warns Nicole, who tells him to leave her alone as EJ instructed, her perfect family fantasy can only fall through. Philip proudly shows EJ's shredded formula, ignoring it's a ploy, and bitterly scolds ingrate Victor for questioning his CEO job again unless he finds out stat how Melanie...
After taking full blame for his relapse in alcohol, while she assures it's her fault, Lucas gets Will to accept being his best man, but that fails to lessen his hostility to the bride, whom he openly blames for his father's pitiful state. EJ visits Sami, allegedly to deliver Johhny's favorite cuddly penguin, but Nicole fears her own rival. Uterings in that direction delight Sami, but not as much as a surprise visit from Rafe. Max warns Chelsea, in vain, against imposing her nosy self to Daniel, who rather leaves as he came to drink and forget his heart-ache.
Rafe visits the DiMera mansion, to surprised Sami's utter delight, soon bantering with initially gracious host EJ. Nicole ignores she's playing into suggestions she's not a fit mother by absconding again, urgently calling Chloe to a pep-talk meeting. Max is relieved that Chelsea doesn't hold him to a promise of champagne he can ill afford to celebrate Kate's remission.
EJ consults Roman about whether Rafe will soon be reassigned elsewhere and braves new hostility from Sami in Rafe's defense. Max and Chelsea are lovers again, even ending up in her bed. Bo soon regrets his protest, but she still decides it's time to move out. Jogging, Brady bumps into hangover-afflicted Daniel and sympathizes with what he assumes must be a fellow hopeless love. Nicole helps Chloe pick a wedding dress but isn't allowed to suggest consulting Kate, let alone whether to marry Lucas so soon after her affair with Daniel.
EJ feels on top of the world, having closed a Japanese stock deal at better terms than expected and closing the trap by telling Melanie her contract is void due to a non use-clause, which even requires refunding the advance she already spent. Stefano warns him about his bride and Sami meeting, likely to conspire (in fact, speculating why he wants Rafe out of the way), and wonders if the Kiriakises will see the ploy. Philip is preoccupied trying to make Stefanie see Melanie was never a rival, but only gets professional loyalty, filling in for the computer whiz.
EJ feels on top of the world, applauded even by Stefano, now his trap has closed on desperately destitute Melanie. Philip faces a worm virus which has cleared Titan's entire database, the IT specialist doubts if at least the fuel project can be recovered. His vague threat the DiMera's went to far to get away this time is laughed away. Brady is asked again to help Nicole, who fears Sydney and Sami's instinctive bonding may give their secret away. Sister Theresa assures Sami, rather in vain, that Grace is safe regardless of the mystery visitor.
Rafe is not amused when he must stop Sami, who just learned he lost his FBI job, from begging the mayor to hire him in the Salem PD, yet asks Roman for a regular application. Max is pleased finally to get a visit from Will, whom he tells not to worry about his parents. Chelsea overhears Max saying he's looking forward to fatherhood and therefore decides to break up with him instead of accepting an engagement ring. Lucas waves Sami's distaste for Chloe, Kate proceeds two-faced, playing the grateful mother of the groom while plotting to get Daniel to come clean.
Rafe's regular application for a Salem PD job is warmly welcomed by grateful Roman, who digs into a long-term research budget to assign him to the DiMera malversations. Will meets future stepmother Chloe, who agrees gold-hearted Lucas shouldn't put himself down by taking the blame for their own faults. Daniel tries to comfort Lucas, who fears Choe's sudden idea to elope to Las Vegas bodes another no-show. Nicole can hardly believe her luck when Dr. Baker drops by, not to blackmail her again but announcing he's leaving the private clinic and her life for a Denver job.
EJ and Nicole finally enjoy their sex life again in DiMera mansion luxury. Rafe makes Sami's year by announcing he joined the Salem PD, actually after turning down a more prestigious anti-terrorism job, and is amused at her semi-fury that he now believes Roman about the DiMeras after dismissing her 'paranoia'. Daniel's glowing speech about his bride being such a great catch decides Lucas to tell Chloe, who realizes Will won't be such a gullible walk-over, that he's ready to marry where and how she wants. After plotting with Victor, Kate probes Daniel tauntingly.
EJ remains blissfully ignorant when Nicole sneaks out 'shopping' to consult Brady about 'exposure' by vindictive Philip, who fears desperately to be blamed and fired by Victor now Titan has lost all data on the fuel project, including the only hard copy, but finds comfort making up with Stefanie. His suspect is Dimera, Brady's Melanie. Max gets Chelsea to explain she broke up to spare his child-wish but convinces her they could adopt, as their parents all did. Tony overhears Elvis turning away Melanie, who suggests he never intended to produce Nick's green fuel to ...
EJ and Nicole, who meanly wonders how Sami could stand witness protection without her children, plan Sydney's parish church christening by Father Matt, dismissing Stefano's idea to do it in the convent, where Rafe visits baby Grace and realizes Nicole knows his face. Tony meets Melanie, convincing her to sell him Nick's fuel formula, so she promises him a copy, but Max isn't inclined to let her near it, so she tries spying on the bar safe combination. Lucas agrees to be wed in Vegas, dismissing Chloe's hesitation aboard the plane about not even inviting Kate.
Victor and Brady tear strips off Philip on account of the lost fuel project, yet he maintains this time the Dimera's won't get away with it. Max's blueprints copy is stolen by Melanie, who brings them to Tony, but doesn't actually collect 'yet' either check or contract, which remain mere promises. Daniel resigns to having lost Chloe to Lucas. Kate's flight takes forever so by the time she reaches the Vegas justice of the peace endless calls identified, the couple has left, borrowing the senior witnesses' rings, for a hot wedding night, leaving a wedding ceremony DVD.
Max is appalled to hear that Melanie stole his copy of Nick's blueprints, only to be duped again, now by Tony, who delivered neither contract nor fat payment, just a $10,000 check he refuses to share in. While questions Sami for having estranged her father straight into alcohol relapse and Chloe's arms, while flirting even in witness protection. When Mia arrives at the DiMera mansion, Tony receives her and learns that Nicole got her baby after a stillbirth. EJ and Stefano prepare Sydney's christening. Philip furiously arrives after a verbal row with Brady.
Stefano and EJ beam at Sydney's christening. Nicole is terrified as it's too late to replace Tony as godfather, yet he told her to know about Mia's baby. In the convent, Rafe and his orphanage's mother' Sister Agnes banter whether Sami is worth limiting his professional choices for and Grace's future. Will meets Mia, tells her about his homesick year in Switzerland and likes her, until she dashes off without saying goodbye.
EJ and Stefano are puzzled by Nicole's stressed bitching at the christening, even fainting, as Tony doesn't speak out but tells her afterward the truth will later suit his lust for jealous revenge, on his favorite son, EJ. Rafe urges Sami, who attended to his horror, to reconsider her contacts with the DiMeras. Will meets Mia again, makes up, and bonds over being parentally neglected children.
Tony planned to expose Nicole during the home drinks after Sydney's christening. He puts that off as EJ overhears Sami at the Phone about picking up her baby and she claims she's adopting baby Grace, supposedly abandoned by someone she met while in witness protection. Rafe is furious about her latest ill-considered risk and bitterly wishes her a good life. Lucas and Chloe are not impressed when, picking up their wedding DVD, they find Kate in the Judge of the peace's office and demanding they get an annulment. Mac brilliantly identifies and solves Theo's irrational ...
Philip offers Tony a 'scorned sons' Alliance, but is turned down as a spoiled 'entitled boy'. Kate joins Lucas and Chloe on the flight home, contemplating ways to get rid of the newlywed bride, but for now settles for playing appeased. Daniel seems able to tune down Maggie's hostility.
Philip is still bitterly surprised that Victor not only fires him as CEO but has him supervised while clearing his office, finding some comfort with Stefanie. Tony still intends to expose Nicole, so she convinces Brady to help her to leverage by stealing the fuel blueprints, but they can't find them in Tony's room.
Tony shocks Stefano by announcing first that he's moving out and taking the only copy of Nick's fuel project, then says he prefers a larger audience for a secret that will hit EJ even worse. Philip refuses help from Brady, who rebukes Victor's paternal disloyalty. Lucas enjoys his 'honeymoon' while Kate pretends to make up with Daniel so she can pump him about the highly toxic cancer medicine that cured her. Rafe finally gets Sami's fl gratitude after she accidentally learns he turned down a prestigious NYPD job to keep watching her.
Stefano rages about ingrate Tony's betrayal, swearing he's no longer his son and will suffer crushing revenge. EJ tries to calm him, worrying about Tony's daunting reference to Nicole and pointing out Stefano should have expected vindictiveness and fear the power Nick's fuel can bring. Philip has tricked Tony to a meeting at the docks, to no avail, wounding only his own hand in a minor fight. Walking off, Tony slip onto a nail, badly wounded. Nicole saw everything and calls an ambulance on Philip's instructions. Daniels diagnoses mortal danger, rekindling Stefano's.
Will is far from amused to find that Sami 'brought a new toy' when told that after neglecting her family so long, she suddenly 'adopted' baby Grace. When he walks off, Rafe gently pulls him aside for a confidence. In hospital, Stefano questions whether Daniels should treat Tony, who wakes up just enough to hear sneaked-in Nicole warn him about risks during his recovery. Philip needs her to confirm it was an accident.
Rafe can't convince Will that adopting Grace was a rational decision rather then a 'new toy' Sami will neglect in a matter months, yet somehow gets the boy to consider giving them a chance. While the speculations around Tony's accident continue, even leading to EJ attacking innocent suspect Philip, to whom Victor admits having been too harsh, Tony's heart stops. Roman is puzzled by Sami's adoption, especially the crazy tiling, and questions her secrecy, but lets his ma shut him up in baby Grace's interest.
Stefano, who weeps and even EJ can barely control their fury over Tony's death, nor their disdain for the ever-bumbling, Brady-prejudiced Salem PD, clearly implying alternative vindictive 'justice'. Philip bitterly marks the irony that now he seems scorned by all others, Victor supportively calls himself proud, yet is relieved when Nicole confirms his innocence, to Stefano's fury, while EJ suspects a dark motive and swears to decipher Tony's last message, just the letter B. It's Lucas's turn to question Grace's adoption, hinting she must by EJ's baby.
EJ forbids Stefano from calling Nicole a disloyal liar to their faces, but privately repeats that reproach, plus the question of what secret business she had in the convent, and calls her bluff on calling off the wedding. Max is hardly surprised that Melanie just wails Tony's death, squashing her last hope of making more from Nick's project than $20,000 she already spent on non-refundable sales goods. As the first guest in Stephanie's new apartment, Philip sighs, it feels as if she was right and he wasted all his energy on a project for Titan that now seems insignificant, even if Victor finally shows some paternal feelings. Kate is relieved when Chloe's pregnancy fear proves false alarm, Lucas already jumped on her offer, Chloe can host a TV show for their firm's domestic products.
EJ still blames Nicole, yet decides not to cancel the wedding for Sydney's sake and thus even gets still rage-grieving, condolences-collecting Stefano's 'blessing' to use the mansion. Daniel has to perform Chloe's check-up for the lack of a suitable colleague within 100 miles. Kate learns to forge his signature. To Nicole's horror, the new hospital staff member is Dr. Baker. Will enjoys bumping into Mia again, tells his gloom stems from Sami's latest stunt, adoption, but for the girl's sake, promises to care for his 'new sister' and takes her to visit, and as Sami rushes to EJ, having heard about Tony's death, babysits together.
