At Max and Mimi's, the two pack a bag for Belle, Shawn and Claire. Max takes it out and then Phillip shows up demanding his daughter. She plays innocent, but he knows she and Max helped them get away, he smashed his hand into her car. He says she's always looked out for number one, be smart. He asks if she wants to serve time protecting them? Mimi says she won't sell her friends out. Phillip says then she'll end up in jail with her brother, a pair of losers. She demands he leave, but he won't without his daughter. She tells him reality check, Claire isn't his. Phillip says Shawn never cared about Claire until he found out they shared DNA. Phillip says he's the only father Claire has known, she is legally his. Mimi doesn't like this new Phillip, she doesn't want to know him. Phillip says the old Phillip was fair and it got him no where, he lost his wife and daughter. Phillip is living by his father's philosophy now, if there is something you want then you take it. Phillip says Shawn and Belle started this war, he's ending it and taking no prisoners. She has nothing more to say to him, she just wants to see justice for Shawn and Belle. He tells her that her lies caused all of this. She says and she's trying to make up for that. He says she hasn't made it up to him. He says if she had told the truth from the beginning then he and Belle could have worked things out. Mimi says Belle didn't love him, she knows it hurts, but it's the truth. Phillip warns Mimi to tell him what she knows or else. She asks if he's threatening her? He locks the door to Max's place and says you bet he is! He offers her a chance to talk. She says or what, he'll beat her up? He says no. He grabs her cell phone in one hand while twisting her arm with the other. He calls Max and demands to talk to Belle.

At pub, Bo and Kayla talk about the unfairness of what has happened with Claire. Bo says if he never sees his son again then it means Shawn and his family are safe. Kayla assures Bo that they will hear from them again. Steve shows up. Kayla is not happy that he took off on a Mexican adventure without her, especially after his episode in the CPS office. Bo shrugs and tells Steve he broke his promise so he had to tell. Steve says he's fine. He says he couldn't convince EJ to come back, but he did take his phone and wallet. He says the phone has several calls to Italy, probably Stefano. He says the wallet has his visa, so he'll have to come back to USA to replace it if he wants to go anywhere. Bo takes off with the evidence to see Abe. Kayla is still angry with Steve. He says he's been trying to protect her. He says he got more out of EJ than his things. He says EJ brought up the episodes he's having, he thinks the DiMeras are involved. Steve says EJ also mentioned Benji. Steve says these episodes started the night they dined with Benji. Steve says he was such a good kid, but he is a Dimera and even the good ones are forced to get their hands dirty sometimes. Kayla wants Steve to promise to let Bo handle this and talk to Benji, but Steve can't do that. Kayla is worried. She says when he is not honest with then it makes her feel like she can't truth him. Steve says that hurts. Kayla says now he knows how she feels. Steve is just trying to get things back to normal between them. Kayla wants him to know that he doesn't have to do that on his own. They share a kiss. Later Steve gets a call from Shawn, who needs help. Steve and Kayla agree to help. Steve warns Kayla this is illegal what they want him to do. Kayla understands, she feels they need to call Bo first though. Steve also tells Kayla he needs to do this on his own, it will be easier. He promises it is just this once.

At a church, Belle is with Claire and Shawn. They are hiding out in the same church Max and Mimi were held in. They have a small radio and hear an amber alert for Claire. Phillip is made out to be the wounded war hero and the victim of Belle and Shawn. Roadblocks have been set up, Max is supposed to come help them escape Salem. Belle is sad, Claire got a new tooth while with Phillip, she's missed so much already. Shawn says they won't miss anymore. They talk about all the things she'll do growing up, like playing softball. Shawn promises that Claire will have everything. Later they hear someone coming. It's only Max though. Max warns them that Victor and Phillip are out for blood. He doesn't know how they'll get through all the roadblocks, he's a good driver but not that good. Belle suggests they split up, they are after all looking for a couple. Shawn says no way, they are in this together. Shawn knows someone who could help them. he says Steve and Kayla offered help with no questions asked. Belle doesn't know, Steve could tell Bo. Suddenly Phillip calls. He claims he has Mimi prisoner and demands to talk to Belle. Max hands the phone over. Phillip swears this isn't what he wanted. He says the truth is he still loves Belle. He says they could still try to work things out, a second chance to be together and give Claire a family.

She swears she was only trying to protect them ,she didn't want this to end. Bo shows up and asks what is going on? Lexie says she has to find a new place to live. She then leaves. Bo tells Abe that Steve got EJ's travel visa, he has to come back to replace it and then they can nab them. Abe says it doesn't matter. He fills Bo in on Lexie and Tek's lies. He says with all the lies they've told, neither is a credible witness. Abe says they have nothing on EJ. Bo thinks they have enough evidence, but Abe isn't sure. Bo then gets a call from Steve. Steve fills Bo in on how he's going to help Shawn get to Canada. Bo tells Steve to do what he has to do, he has his blessing. Later Bo offers to do anything he can for Abe, but Abe asks to be alone tonight.

Lucas and Sami are at home kissing and looking at Sami's plaque she got. She thinks it's not real, but Lucas says it is. Lucas says she has changed, she's proven it. Lucas says he knows he can trust her with his life now. Sami sniffles. He asks what is wrong? Did he speak too soon? Is she lying through her teeth? Sami asks why he thinks she's lying? He knows when things are bothering her, he's upset about Phillip barging in on her celebration too. He says it was a terrible ending to a good night. Sami doesn't know what happened to Phillip, she doesn't know why he's treating her sister like this. Sami assures Lucas that she had nothing to do with Belle and Shawn running off. Lucas says he knows she didn't. Sami says it's not like she wouldn't have helped them though, Belle is her sister and what Phillip is doing is wrong. Sami says it was odd that nobody blamed her for it, especially Kate. Lucas says his mom did apologize to her in front of everyone, he thinks she wants a fresh start. Lucas says his mom knows she risked her life to save his, don't worry about it. Lucas says she knows she can't break them up, that they will be together for a long time. They kiss some more. Sami says what if something changes Kate's mind about her? Lucas says just meet her half way for him. Sami says she'll do it for him. Later the clothes are coming off and they are kissing. Sami asks Lucas if he's happy? He says if she has to ask him that then he must be doing something wrong. She says she means if he is really happy. Lucas says he is, he thought she knew that. She says she does now. She says everything is going so well for them, especially for her. However she says when people forget about her and she goes back to her regular old self . . . . She says that person has never been able to keep this family together. Sami also wonders what if she hadn't done what she did . . . would he still feel the same way about her? Would they be here like this? Lucas says he's loved her forever, he was just too stupid to know it. He says he's been with his share of women, but nobody comes close to how he feels about her. He says it takes every ounce of strength he has not to throw her into the corner and make mad passionate love to her, even at her grandparents pub. He says he loves her and he doesn't care if she wins a hundred awards, it doesn't matter to him, it doesn't make him love her anymore than he already does. He says he loved her before she saved him. She says she loves him so much. They then kiss. Suddenly Sami feels ill and runs off. She returns as Lucas is on the phone with Roman. Sami returns and says she's not feeling well. She asks who he was talking to. Lucas says it was her dad, Lexie is missing. He also says it wasn't Lexie who saw EJ shoot John, it was Tek. Lucas says this means the case against EJ could be blown to bits. Sami asks Lucas to tell her everything that her dad said. Lucas says basically Lexie was with Tek, she lied to Abe about the shooring so he didn't know she was with Tek. Lucas says Abe kicked Lexie out, she then hooked up with Tek. Lucas says they found Tek's car on the side of the road but no sign of Tek or Lexie. Sami knows it was EJ, he made them disappear. Lucas says maybe Lexie and Tek took off, but Sami says Lexie wouldn't leave her son. Sami is scared, if EJ eliminated Tek and Lexie then he could take them out next. Lucas says even if EJ came back and went after Lexie and Tek, why would he come after them? Sami says he doesn't understand. He says what doesn't he understand? Sami then runs off to the bathroom again to be sick. Sami comes back out, Lucas asks if she is sick, does she need a doctor? Sami says she's not sick. Lucas says it's been a long night, they should just go to bed and cuddle. Sami looks like she's about to cry. Sami tells Lucas that she has to tell him something. He asks what? Sami takes his hand and says she's pregnant! She then breaks down crying.

Marlena is at home looking at a photo of her and her girls. Kayla shows up with tea. Marlena says Sami has finally becomes the person she always thought she could be and it happens the same night Belle runs off. Kayla says Steve is on his way to help them. Kayla tells Marlena that she knows she's worried. Kayla says it's late, she should rest. Marlena can't sleep until she hears from Belle or Steve. Steve then calls. He is outside the church and says he's with the kids and they are ready to leave. Kayla passes the message onto Marlena. Steve says once they are on the road he can't use this phone. Kayla makes him promise to be careful and says they are all counting on him. Kayla and Marlena talk, Marlena knows Steve won't let anything bad happen to the kids. Kayla excuses herself to check on Stephanie. Marlena assures Kayla that she's fine, she doesn't have to stay with her. Kayla leaves the room. Marlena falls asleep on the couch as Kayla is assuring Stephanie (on the phone) how everyone is fine. Kayla sees Marlena is a sleep. She fell asleep with a photo of John. Kayla puts the photo on the table and then covers Marlena up. Marlena is dreaming of John, whose name she says. Marlena wakes up and hears John's voice. He is telling Marlena that he needs her and to help him. She looks around and says she is here, she is coming. She heads out to the terrace looking for John, but she gets caught up in the curtains. She sees his face in the curtains. She asks John what he needs to tell her, was it about Steve? Suddenly Marlena wakes up for real. Kayla says she was having a nightmare, but Marlena says no he was here. Kayla gets her some water. Marlena knows this must sound crazy to her, but this isn't a dream. Marlena says she feels John is still trying to get a message to her, she thinks it is about Steve. She says John looked at Steve and said killer, she fears he could be a target. Kayla tells Marlena that Steve has been having these episodes. She tells Marlena about the episodes, how Steve becomes violent after hearing a noise in his head. She feels it has something to do with his past. Kayla says Steve worries the DiMeras were involved. Kayla says it all started the night they had dinner with Benji. Marlena says so there is a connection. Kayla says Steve thinks so, she doesn't know what to think though. Kayla says it is killing Steve and it is killing her that she can't help him. Marlena suggests therapy, but Kayla says Steve says he's been there and done that. Marlena says there are many kinds of therapy, they could try hypnosis. Kayla says Steve is downplaying his fears, she thinks he's afraid finding something out that he doesn't want to face. Marlena understands. She says with both of them helping Steve, he can get through this.

At the church, Shawn, Claire and Belle are waiting for Steve to show up. They hear a car pull up outside, it sounds like a truck. They wonder who it could be. Shawn looks outside and sees it is Steve. Shawn lets Steve in. Steve says he hears they have three packages for pickup. Shawn asks about the truck. Steve says he borrowed it, the less they know the better. Back outside Claire's bunny is in the snow. Phillip shows up and picks it up. He says "gotcha!" Later Steve is outside calling Kayla and Marlena. After talking to them, Steve finds footprints in the snow. He realizes they have company. Back inside the church, Belle and Shawn talk about what Steve is doing for them. They all decide they are ready and it's time to go. Phillip them walks out of the shadows and says they aren't going anywhere! They ask how he found them. Phillip says he made Mimi snap like a twig. Belle asks why he's doing this to them, they were friends. Phillip says she was his wife, even if he was the last person to know she still had a thing for Shawn. Shawn thinks this is about revenge. Phillip says no, he wants Claire. Phillip says the cops are on the way, he has the Salem PD on his side, the DA, the courts and the Kiriakis name . . .what do they have? Belle says Phillip will have to kill her first before he gets Claire. Shawn begins fighting with Phillip. Phillip gives hell to Shawn and then tells Belle that she brought this all on herself. He walks up to her and tells Claire that it is okay, daddy is here. Belle keeps Claire from Phillip. As Phillip goes to take Claire, Steve shocks up and knocks Phillip upside the back of his head. Phillip goes down. Shawn gets up, he's okay. Steve says they have to go now. Shawn sends Belle out with Claire, he asks Steve to help him take care of Phillip. They end up locking Phillip up down in the cellar where Victor trapped Mimi and Max. Phillip comes too and starts screaming to be let out.

Steve drives Belle, Shawn and Claire in the delivery truck. BElle is holding Claire, she thinks this is dangerous as they need a car seat. Steve says he should have thought of that. Shawn just says hold her close. Shawn asks Steve if he's okay? Steve was spacing for a second. Steve swears he is cool. He tells them to relax and leave the driving to him. Steve tells them not to leave any clues in this truck, not even a baby fingerprint. Steve says Canada is a big place, where do they want to go? Shawn was thinking Montreal. Shawn hopes the passports won't get flagged. Steve suggests a freighter, they can pay someone off to stow away without passports. Shawn only has a little bit of cash, which Steve says is a mistake. He says they need money. Shawn and Belle say they can handle this, but Steve thinks they are making a mistake. Steve says he's been where they are, what they are heading into isn't easy. He says they will have to keep moving, to move you need cash. Shawn says he will get a job. Steve says he's on the run, he needs to feed his family and keep a roof over his head. Steve says what if the baby gets sick, how will he take care of her? Shawn doesn't know, he says lay off. Steve says he's trying to give him a reality check. He says life on the road isn't easy, especially with Kiriakis on your tail. Steve says take it from someone who knows. Shawn doesn't understand how Victor gets away with all this stuff. Steve says it comes down to money and power and Victor has both. Belle says Victor always gets what he wants and right now he wants Claire. Shawn says he won't get Claire, ever. Steve says they will be okay if they stick together. He tells them all to get sleep. He says once they get to Canada they will be on their own. Shawn holds Belle and they all try and sleep. Steve puts on some music and starts having one of his episodes. He begins hearing the banging noise in his head.

Back at the church, Phillip is still trapped and yelling for help. A cop shows up and demands they come out with their hands up. Phillip says he's the one that called them, calls them an idiot and demands to be let out. The cop lets him out. He says it took them long enough. He says someone knocked him out, someone is helping them. He demands the cop get on his radio and call for back up before they get away. The cops leaves and Phillip looks at Claire's bunny. Phillip calls his dad and says they got away, hopefully they left behind a clue. The cop tells Phillip that a delivery truck has been stolen and they have the plate numbers. Phillip thinks it is a lead.

Chelsea brings Nick and Abby to the pub to apologize to them. Nick wonders if a pod person took her over. Chelsea says very funny. Chelsea apologizes for all the mean things she has said, she never meant to hurt them. They are speechless. Chelsea was hoping they would forgive her. Nick wonders if they are being punked, is Ashton hiding somewhere? Abby says they've seen this before and this time she's being nice because Dr. Shane Patton told her to. Chelsea admits he is good looking and she likes that, but it's more about what he thinks and says. She says those things he writes to her, they make her want to be a better person. Abby tells her that Shane told her goodbye and that she should just move on. Chelsea says she can't. She says she thinks she's in love with him, actually she knows she is. Billie shows up and Nick decides he should go. Chelsea wants Nick to stay and she demands her mother stay, she has news for them all. Nick is a bundle of nerves around Billie, he knocks over a drink.

Steve has pulled the car over for a moment (I missed why). Shawn finds a payphone and calls Phillip. He says he wanted to call one last time and say goodbye. Shawn says Claire is his daughter and he and Victor won't get their hands on her again. Phillip tells Shawn to run but he will find them and when he does, he swears to God . . . Shawn says God isn't listening to him anymore. Later they are back in the car. Steve is trying to find some kind of driving music on the radio. He finds a song with a beat, but then he begins having another episode. He hears the banging in his head, he remembers the shock treatment. He begins yelling "Stop it!" The noise eventually goes away. Belle is asleep, Shawn wakes up and wonders what is wrong. Steve says everything is cool and Shawn should go back to sleep. Shawn obviously knows something is wrong. Belle soon wakes up. Steve asks if everyone is okay. Belle thinks Steve should slow down, but Steve says relax everything is under control. She says he's going too fast and they don't have a car seat for Claire. Steve says they have 20 miles to go, nothing can go wrong now. Suddenly the cops show up with sirens blaring. Shawn asks what they will do? Steve tells everyone to hang on. The cops are yelling for them to pull over or they will shoot out their tires. Belle cries that he's going to get them killed. Shawn begs him to pull over. Steve is screaming that they aren't pulling over! Steve demands Shawn take the wheel. He goes into the back of the truck and demands Shawn do as he say and keep driving. Steve hears the banging in his head and begins throwing boxes out the back like a madman at the cop cars. Belle is stunned, Shawn admits the guy is crazy. Steve eventually collapses in the back of the van. Shawn sees the cops have pulled over, they lost them. Steve says they are almost there, it's only a mile. He tells them to break through the border and ditch the van. Steve then gives the cops something else to chase, he jumps out of the truck!

Shawn, Belle and Claire make it to Canada. Belle doesn't know what happened back there with Steve. Shawn says if it weren't for him then they wouldn't have made it. Belle asks what they do now? Shawn doesn't know where they will go, but he promises to take care of both of them. Belle says she trusts him. She thinks about never seeing her family again. Shawn says they will, if she believes in him. She says she believes in them. They then walk off.

Phillip goes to see Roman at the station. He demands to know what Roman is doing about Claire. Roman says he is doing everything he can to find them, but Phillip accuses him of helping his family break the law. Roman says he didn't know Phillip had such respect for the law, because from what he understood he and his father were already planning to defy the judge and break the law. Did he hear wrong? He heard he was going to Brussels. Phillip says his family has offices all over the world. Phillip says he may have had to take Claire if he had to travel. Roman says that would be breaking the law. Phillip doesn't care, he demands Roman do something or he'll call his lawyers. Roman says he can have Victor hire his own police force while he's at it. Phillip tells Roman to put himself in his shoes. He says he knows their families have always had problems and probably always will. He says but he loves his little girl and wants her back. Phillip thinks everyone in Salem wants them to get away. Roman says you can't blame a mother for wanting to hold onto her baby. Phillip says he wants his baby back too. Phillip doesn't know what to believe. He says the stolen truck and the phone call could be a decoy. He says maybe they are still at the Pub hiding. Roman is having a hard time feeling for Phillip because he keeps opening his mouth. Roman also says if they have made it to Canada then there isn't a damn thing they or anyone else can do. Phillip accuses Roman of being in on this. Roman grabs him by the collar and tells him not to say that to him again. Roman says he's not dirty, but what is dirty is what Victor did to Belle and how he hired that woman to kidnap Claire. Phillip tells him to prove it. Phillip says he will be pressing charges against the department. Suddenly EJ walks into Roman's office. Roman says it is good to have EJ back. EJ says it's been a long time. Phillip tells Roman he'll be back, in the meantime he'll give his father Roman's best.

Roman has a chat with EJ. EJ says he understands they think he shot John. EJ says he wasn't near John when he was shot. Roman decides to make it official and puts EJ under arrest. EJ says he returned as soon as he was informed there was a warrant for his arrest. He says his lawyer will be here, so what evidence do they have? He says he knows Lexie's testimony doesn't hold water and she's run off with her lover Tek. Roman says he's glad EJ came back and it was the right thing to do, but why did he come back? EJ says to clear his name and see some friends. EJ says Roman's daughter for one, they've become very close. Roman tells EJ how John is one of the finest man he knows and may not come out of that coma. He says EJ is standing her with that dumbass smirk on his face thinking who knows what. EJ says what he is thinking is that John ruined his reputation and got what he had coming to him. Roman throws him against the wall and tells EJ not to push it. EJ asks what he'll do? Roman says remember what he said, don't push it. Roman has EJ processed and put in a cell. Phillip then returns and tells Roman when Shawn and Belle get to Canada they'll need money. He says the only thing of value is Belle's ring, which he reported stolen. Phillip says if Belle tries to sell her ring then alarms will go off. He thinks Claire is as good as in his arms already, his baby is coming home.

Mimi thinks they are lying to her. Mimi tells Connor to learn to lie better, watch mom every time she opens her mouth. Mimi goes up to her room. Mimi soon returns with a fax from Abe, it's a sketch of the guy who stole the bones from the morgue. She asks Connor if it looks like anyone he knows? Bonnie says it looks like Matt Damon. Connor tells Bonnie to shut up . . . he says mom made him do it. Connor says he's going to barf. Mimi asks what mom wanted with the bones. She decides to find out for herself and heads out. Bonnie is sure Mimi won't go digging with her new manicure. Later Connor is thinking he should have stayed on that ranch. Bonnie says she needed him here. Later Mimi returns with a bag and demands two good reasons she shouldn't call the cops. Mimi has found the bones. She demands Connor tell her the truth. Connor asks her to leave it alone, they didn't want her mixed up in this. Mimi threatens to call the cops and send them to jail with Patrick. Bonnie doesn't think she'd do it. Mimi picks up the phone and begins calling. Connor says he'll tell her but she'll be sorry. Connor tells Mimi that she has a right to know, the bones in the bag belong to dad! Mimi begins feeling sick, they think she's going to faint. Mimi says Connor brought him home a Christmas card from him. Bonnie says she kept asking questions and they gave her answers. Mimi demands to know what happened to him. Bonnie refuses to answer anything on the grounds that it might incriminate her. Mimi thinks she killed him. Bonnie says she's not saying that. Mimi says she's not denying it. She thinks her mom killed him and buried the bones to hide her secret. Connor asks if she can just forget this, but Mimi won't. She says what is left of her dad is in a bag. She demands Connor to tell her what happened to him, if he ever cared about her then he will tell her. Connor says he'd tell her if he knew, but he doesn't know. He says mom just asked for help and she knows him, he's never curious about stuff. Mimi says she and Connor promised one another to never turn out like mom. Mimi then tells her mom that she has till the morning to tell her the truth, otherwise she tell the cops what she found and who they belong to. She also locks the bones in her room with her.

In Canada, Shawn and Belle arrive at a safe house run by a guy named Merle, who is obviously trapped in the 60s and out of touch with reality. He thinks Shawn is a draft dodger and needs to get someplace out of the country. He tries to help them finding a place to go, suggesting Russia. Shawn promises Belle that he will take care of them and they will be okay. Belle knows as she believes in him. Shawn and Belle soon realize they'll need money, lots of it. Belle thinks she can sell her ring, it's worth at least a thousand or two. Later Shawn uses a phone to call home.

Lucas meets with Victor. Victor wants Lucas to go to Canada and get Claire. Lucas refuses as this is not business, it's a family matter. Victor demands Lucas do this. Lucas wonders why he doesn't send Phillip, but Victor is afraid of his temper and what he might do. He wants Lucas to go and play peacemaker, convince Belle and Shawn that no charges will be pressed if they return Claire. Lucas says and if they don't? Victor says then do what is necessary! Lucas won't be part of this, he refuses. Victor then says he'll have to fire him as well as make sure he doesn't get a job from anyone else!

At the jail, Sami visits with EJ. He comments how lovely she is, but she wants answers. She accuses him of having done away with Tek and Lexie. EJ of course denies it and says Lexie lied about seeing him shoot John, was caught and ran off with her lover. Sami knows she wouldn't have left her son. She also thinks he shot John. EJ again denies it. Sami asks why he ran if he did nothing wrong. EJ says because she and the Salem PD set him up. Sami wants to make sure he's not going to get revenge on her or her family. He says he would never kill the mother of his child. He asks if she is pregnant with his child, but she says she isn't pregnant. He comments they'll have to try again. He is planning to get out and wants her to come back to work for him. She refuses and tells him to stay away from her or she promises to kill him. Later after Sami has left, EJ is freed. He makes a call to Kate and leaves her a message, suggesting they "get together" so to speak.
