Holding her mouth, she runs off. He follows and they argue all the way back to the mansion. She refuses to lead him on but he'd be glad to be married to her while she loves another man. "It's a good thing," he says, because it won't always be that way. Sami doesn't understand why he wants her.

After sex, he says he can't fight his feelings for her anymore and things will be good from now on.

In her room, Hope puts on her alternative face and vows to kill Bo. As she goes downstairs, Viv approaches her and asks if Carly poisoned her mind against her.

He says he will make every day the best day of her life. He notices she keeps looking at the clock and she explains that she's supposed to be on the news. They keep making out. She makes a sandwich. He finds the sonogram for her baby. They get dour until Baker calls and interrupts to say that he's been arrested for gambling. She tells Brady she has to run off to work. He offers to drive her but she tells him to wait there. She heads to the station and tells Dick she can't help him. He threatens to rat her out but she has a plan to get him out of town.

He decides to take them to the lab anyway.

Chloe goes home, bickering with Philip on the phone. As soon as she hangs up, she notices Mel is there. They begin discussing how different pregnancy makes Chloe feel.

Carly tells her Chloe is just pregnant and moody. The doctor heads over to Daniel's to see Chloe. After they talk about what happened to Bo, Carly says she got the DNA sample and worries that she'll lose Daniel and Mel if they find out that she's been keeping her secret. Carly explains that she's scheduled her at St. Mary's tomorrow. Meanwhile, back at the hospital, Daniel invites Mel to accompany him to a chat about skin grafts at St. Mary's tomorrow.

At Casa da Bo, Hope lunges at Bo with a knife. He holds her back and acts baffled. She accuses him of going after any woman who needs help as long as it isn't her. "I'm going to rip your heart out," she vows, explaining that she was the one who tried to burn him alive. She accuses him of slowly killing her and their daughter and dumping them to be with Carly. When she lunges at him, he knocks the knife from her hands and holds her still. He doesn't want to hurt her. "You killed me," she gasps. He gets her to sit down, cuffs her and then calls Carly to ask her about the drug that was found in his system. She explains that it's the same one Hope is on and it causes erratic behavior. He claims everything is fine and then hangs up. Hope tells him the pills didn't drive her over the edge, he did. She begins telling her story and complaining that Ciara has been a problem the whole time. After she rationalizes all of her attacks, she explains that they let her realize the only way she could have peace would be if he was dead. Hope asks him to kill her and screams over and over that she hates him. "Yeah, you've made that pretty clear," he says, adding that he still loves her. She weeps and then passes out. He turns off the video recorder he had on and then puts her on the couch to sleep. "What have I done?" he wonders.

I Would Never.

At Casa da Bo, he googles about the drug Hope is on and wonders how it can be legal. He flashes back to Hope trying to gut him with a butcher knife and then sadly looks down at her as she sleeps on his sofa. She wakes up, confused and disoriented. He stammers and asks her what she did last night. When she tells him she took a sleeping pill, he pulls out the vial and tells her it's the answer to all of her questions. She's bewildered. He shows her the video of her confession last night. Bo watches as Hope bursts into tears and shakes her head. "I would never!" she shrieks and sobs, wondering why she would do all of this. He plays more of the video so she can explain it to herself. They watch the tape all over again and she cries. He tells her it was all the sleeping pills but she insists that she is responsible for this mess. She thanks him for being so understanding and tells him he has to arrest her. Hope thinks she should be behind bars. Ciara arrives. Hope kisses her and cries.

He stares at the bank transfer until she gets there. When she walks in, he sucks on her face and begins asking about her financial investments. She claims she is practically broke. He pushes her against the wall and lifts her legs. They tear off their clothes and go to bed. When he gets dressed, she starts to get uncomfortable as he rants. "I am done being your victim. That little fling that we just had, I hope you soaked it up because that's the last time we are ever going to be together," he says. He confronts her for lying to him again and says he's sick of it.

She worries that he stares at it and wishes he was still with Mel. Her aunt tells her not to tell him about this. She doesn't want Nathan if he is still living in the past. Adrienne thinks she's going to look pathetic if she makes a big deal out of this. Meanwhile, Philip drops by Steph's and finds Nate. He thanks Nate for his help with the pediatric's ward and then asks him out for coffee to go over a proposal. Nathan is weirded out when Philip tells him he's a decent guy.

Mommy Did Something Wrong.

At St. Mary's, Carly bumps into Mel and begins babbling. A nun walks over and they tell her they are related. The nun is amazed and says she was just talking to Mel's father. Carly panics when she hears this and that only gets worse when she hears that Daniel is with Miss Scott right now. Carly starts to flip out so the nun explains that they have two patients with nearly the same name. The nun is called away and Carly sends her daughter off to get some soda. The doctor asks the orderly where she sent Daniel. She realizes that she sent Dr. Jonas to the room where Chloe is.

In the examining room, Chloe grabs a hold of the curtain when she hears Daniel's voice on the other side. He thinks she's Donna Scott and tries to assure her that he is there to help her. The doctor babbles. Chloe shakes and doesn't make a peep. When he announces he's calling his friend Chloe, she grabs her phone and turns it off. He leaves a message and then goes on and on about trust and the importance of family. Chloe starts crying. That sounds familiar to him. He assures her that he is only there to help her. Before he can open the curtain, Carly runs in. She tells him he's with the wrong patient. He doesn't understand why she hasn't said anything so Carly claims she doesn't speak English and sends him down the hall. Carly opens the curtain and Chloe whines about how bad she feels. Carly assures her that things will be okay and then goes off to see Daniel. He wonders about all of these strange coincidences. Mel walks over to say that the woman is just there for an amnio. He wants to apologize to her. Despite Carly's protests, he insists on trudging off to make a full apology to the woman who doesn't speak any English.

At Nicole's crib, she defends herself but Brady says she's a liar and she's done something really bad. She doesn't understand so he shoves the wire transfer in her face. He demands to know what's going on. She tells him that he's always been her guardian and her love for him has never gone away. He keeps demanding answers and she keeps digging up their history. That only makes things worse. Brady asks her to go down to the station with him and talk to the cops about her large illegal account. She doesn't want to do that and offers, again, to explain everything. He refuses and insists that they go to the cops. They head to the station.

At the station, Baker tells Roman that they don't know each other. Roman accuses him of buying the stuff to burn Bo. Baker wants his phone call but Roman demands some answers. Roman gets a message reminding him of who Baker is and then questions him about the baby switching. The doctor refuses to talk. When he is taken out of the interrogation room in cuffs, he runs into Brady and Nicole. She acts shocked to see him. Roman strolls over and asks Nicole if she will testify against Dick. She continues acting shocked. No one buys it. Roman wonders why Brady brought her down there in the first place.

Ciara runs into Casa da Bo and hugs her mom. Bo and Hope explain that they have to go. Hope cries and says she won't be back any time soon. "Mommy did something wrong," Hope says, promising to explain things eventually. She hopes that one day she will be forgiven for what she did. Hope tells her daughter how much she loves her. Ciara throws her arms around her mom and begs Bo to keep her with them. Julie arrives and suggests that the couple stay there and work things out while she looks after Ciara. Hope is determined to go down to the station. She cries and hugs her daughter some more. Julie looks confused. Ciara runs upstairs in tears. Hope tells Julie to watch her daughter carefully. Julie demands to know what is going on and blames Bo for whatever it is. Hope begs her to stop and says this is not Bo's fault. He leads her out the door.

You Are Dead To Me.

Chloe continues to hide out at St. Mary's as Daniel tries to apologize to he through the curtain. Carly runs in to stop him again but he insists on being courteous whether anyone likes it or not. Carly keeps refusing to allow it and that freaks him out. Finally, Carly says 'Miss Scott' can show her face because she's from the Middle East. That raises even more questions so Carly makes more excuses. He finally takes Mel off to see the burn patient. Chloe stops hyperventilating and Carly says they can go on to the test now. The doctor swears once more that she will keep her secret if Daniel is the dad. Chloe prays for that. After she has her test, Carly returns and says it will be a few days until they know the answer.

Meanwhile, Sister Ann corners Mel and suggests that she come and work there after she graduates. Mel is shocked and flattered but she wants to work with her parents. She babbles about finding them. Carly wanders by as the nun bustles off. As the mother and daughter go off for coffee, Chloe tries to leave the hospital and bumps into Daniel in the corridor. She claims she came to find him so they can spend the day together. He's thrilled.

Doug drops by Casa da Bo and Julie explains that something has gone wrong with Hope. Ciara wakes up on the couch and asks where her mom is. Julie urges her to take another nap but she's upset. Caroline stops in and the adults discuss all the tension there has been in the house. Julie puts all of the blame on Carly. When she mentions Hope was on pills, Doug and Caroline start to worry. They wonder what's going on. Ciara asks her if her mom is ever coming back.

At the station, Nicole faces Baker. Before they can say anything, Bo walks in with Hope. The doctor blurts out her name. Bo guesses they must know each other but Baker tries to cover. Roman announces that they have plenty of evidence on the doctor. Hope says she saw him on the pier but can't remember much else. Baker insists she's not involved. "I am involved," Hope suddenly says. Bo stops her and tells her to be careful. She confesses everything to Roman. Everyone is shocked so she repeats her confession. Roman doesn't believe it so she repeats that it's true and apologizes to them. The cops take Hope into the interrogation room. Roman continues refusing to believe her story but Bo confirms it but tells her to get a lawyer. Since Roman remains skeptical, she continues to insist on her guilt and orders Bo to show Roman the tape. They watch it and then Bo explains about the personality altering pills. Roman's heard enough. Hope says she loves him and apologizes again. He hugs her as she weeps. "We're good," he says. Bo apologizes next and says this is all his fault. She says it's her fault but he blames the pills. She tells them to arrest her and asks for a moment alone with Bo. Once Roman is gone, she begs Bo to read her her rights. He arrests her.

Back in the office, Brady grabs Baker and pounds on his face. A cop pulls him off. Nicole yells at him to stop. He begins accusing her of being involved in this and she calms him down. The cops order him to leave and he takes Nicole with him. They go back to her dive and she thanks him for not ratting her out to the cops. She assumes things are okay but they're not. He thinks she has blackmailed someone and refuses to listen to her excuses. Brady tells her that she is a 'true whore' because she has sold her soul and has no self-respect. He's disgusted for believing in her and letting her manipulate him. "You are dead to me!" he declares. She begs him not to go but he shoves her aside and storms out.
