Bo and Hope wander around and wonder how to tell Ciara that she's back. Hope still doesn't know where she's going to be living. This confuses Bo. Hope explains she can't move back into their house until she knows it's for good. They go down to the pier to talk about their trust issues. He knows she's been through hell, but he's learned that he's lost without her. She's lost without him too. They look out at the water and remember sailing around the world. Things were simpler back then... before Zach died and everything started falling apart. Trying to make sense of something that made no sense tore them apart. She sobs and he tells her that she will always have his heart. They've missed each other so she agrees to go home with him.

Rafe wakes up in the dungeon and wonders how to get out. Meanwhile, Sami and RoboRafe are at the loft. He tries making out with her while she folds laundry. She's shocked when he asks when the kids are going back to their dad's. He tries talking his way out of it. She asks him to pick up Allie's favorite cookies from Java. This makes him panic.

At Casa DiMera, Stefano tells Nicole that Elvis will never love her. They start bickering about this and the topic turns to Taylor. He accuses her of being consumed with jealous towards her sister. She thinks that's out of line. Stefano says she's shallow, untrustworthy and won't be able to wiggle her way into EJ's heart this time.

EJ walks down to the pier and bumps into Taylor. They freeze and stare at each other. Music plays. She seems familiar. She drops her phone and they touch hands grabbing for it. He gives her his scarf and she slowly asks him where the cafe is. Elvis offers to walk her there but his phone starts ringing and she hurries off. RoboRafe is on the phone asking about the cookies. "You're calling me with a dessert emergency?" EJ asks. He has no clue what to say so RoboRafe tells him to get the info. Meanwhile, Taylor ends up in the pub and Sami comes in with Syd. Taylor tells her about the man she ran into at the pier and his overwhelming charisma.

EJ goes down to the dungeon to get cookie details from Rafe. He calls RoboRafe to fill him in. When he goes upstairs, he runs into Nicole and she tells him about her conversation with his father. She explains that she wants to add her sister to their wedding guest list. She calls her sister and asks her to stay and be part of the wedding. Meanwhile, Rafe heads home with the cookie order. He gives them to Allie. "These aren't my favorite!" she shouts when she sees them. Sami comes in and Allie complains about the cookies. Back in his cell, Rafe prays that this cookie mix up will be enough to convince Sami that he's been replaced by a clone.

Kate meets Mel at Daniel's to discuss how they can get custody of Parker. Mel thinks this is all kind of tragic. Kate doesn't see how and is eager to get it done. When she brings up Mel going back to Philip, Melanie grunts and says that's not going to happen. They bicker and Kate stomps out. Mel stops her and Kate reminds her that she's not blameless about what happened to the marriage. Philip only slept with Chloe because he lost his wits in jealousy. Mel heads to the hospital and apologizes to Nate for being a jerk. He just wants her to be okay. She explains that she needs to try and make her marriage work for the kids' sake. "This is all I understand," he says, kissing her. She finally gets his tongue out of her mouth and runs away.

Chloe rushes back to Maggie's where the cookies are burning and filling the place with smoke. She yanks them out of the over as Philip shows up. The smoke magically clears and he calms her down. Parker is unphased by everything but his mom feels like a train wreck. She's not sure she can be a good mother. Philip tells her never to say that again but she feels like she's bad news and sobs. He assumes his mother got to her. The diva gets paranoid so he gives her a pep talk and promises that his mom won't get in her way. They get Parker to sleep and bake cookies. Maggie returns and sends Chloe up to have a nap. When the diva is gone, Maggie tells him all the things that have gone wrong for Chloe. She reminds him that he was her first love as well as the baby's father so he can't leave her side.

EJ orders him to get the right cookies and tell Allie he was just pretending to be angry. He tells him to buy Sami some chocolates that are 'as common as she is' and then get her into bed, leaving his phone on so they can make Rafe listen to the sex. After he sends RoboRafe off, he mutters that it's time to give Allie a holiday. Taylor walks by and stares at him. She offers him back his scarf but he tells her to keep it. When she asks him his name, he says it's best she doesn't know.

Rafe plays dumb but EJ's been dealing with RoboRafe so he knows what real dumbness looks like. Angrily, he says that this betrayal means he has to nab Allie. Rafe begs him not to. EJ offers him a reprieve but warns that the little girl will disappear if he tries anything again. Elvis goes upstairs and tells Nicole that she looks sumptuous.

She assures her that she can convince him to get on board about Parker too.

Taylor walks around the pier sniffing the scarf EJ gave her. She can't believe how corny and lame she is being. She fantasizes about him searching and finding her there. He tells her that she's beautiful and graceful beyond description. Chad randomly appears to snap her out of the fantasy by finding the scarf on the ground. He says it looks just like his brother's and warns her he's no terrific guy. After he wanders off, she goes to Casa DiMera to see her sister with the dress. Nicole sneaks her in and they check it out. She reminds her sister it is Valentine's Day and prompts her to go. As she's about to leave, EJ approaches the door only to be distracted as Marco limps through the foyer. Back inside, Taylor gets snide about the DiMeras but Nicole stands up for them, or 'the hot one' anyway. Taylor babbles about the hot guy who gave her a scarf.

At the loft, Sami gets a bit uncomfortable with how much RoboRafe is rushing things. Before they can make it into the bedroom, Will and Gabi walk in. Will tries to hide in his coat to escape the traumatic sight. Sami invited them over to take pictures of them in their Valentine's duds. RoboRafe starts grumbling and his sister starts to worry that there is something seriously wrong with him. Sami comes out and takes pictures of the kids before RoboRafe sends them out and returns to sucking face with Sami. They slip into the bedroom. As they hit the sheets, there's a knock at the door. As he goes to answer it, Sami tells herself that he's trying too hard and he's not her Rafe anymore. When she enters the living room, she finds Rafe accepting an order of gourmet food. She's shocked but thinks that's perfect. They make out some more and then eat. "I'm not really in the mood for food if you know what I mean," he says after she shovels fish into his face. Meanwhile, Rafe collapses in the snow and drops his photo of Allie. He gets up and stumbles to the loft with a gun in his hand. He looks through the mail slot and sees Sami getting busy with RoboRafe on the couch.

They agree not to keep any secrets affecting each other. They spot Chad entering. He goes to the bar and asks for a job application. Stefano stalks over and offers him a job. "Maybe," Chad says. Will and Gabi show up and Stefano returns to his date. Will asks Chad if he is really taking a job from his dad. Chad doesn't answer, he just mopes away.

I mean, with you," he stutters. She snaps out of this since it was just a fantasy. Perking up, she crosses the room to introduce herself to someone who looks like EJ from behind. She apologizes when she discovers it's not him, just some random dude. Embarrassed, she slouches across the room. Maggie reads her CV and is super impressed.
