When Jenn gets home, she finds that Abby fixed the problem and cleaned up. They talk about how the house is their home now. Abby encourages her mom to start dating again. Her mom doesn't even want to think about that right now; it would complicate things too much. Abby understands because Chad has become too complicated for her.

Brady rolls his eyes and tells him to go back to where he came from. Dario accuses him of not believing in Ari and not caring who killed her. Brady gets angry and grabs him, barking that he doesn't know how he feels. Handing him some money, he tells him to buy a life somewhere. Dario refuses to get a life.

She goes off to the hospital and chats with Lexi, who can see she's upset. Taylor explains that EJ has made her love him even more. The only thing she can't think to do now is move out of his house and out of his life. Before she leaves though, she plans to tell her sister everything.

On the pier, Viv continues trying to get Nicole on her side against Kate. Nicole refuses to be lured in and thinks she's delusional. She's afraid of Stefano and is sure that he would win in any war between them. "If you value your life, I'd leave Kate alone," Nicole suggests. Viv tells her that she'll go after her once she's done with Kate. She guffaws in her face and strolls away.

Theo begs her not to. She peers through the window at her parents. They're talking about team work but Ciara thinks they look miserable and assumes it's all her fault. "Mom and dad can't be happy until I'm gone," she says. Hope wants to ground her daughter for acting out. Bo agrees to that.

At Java Cafe, Mel cries her mascara onto Brady's jacket. They're grateful that that have each other. Chloe arrives. Mel goes away and Brady tries chatting to Chloe, who starts accusing him of trying to move in on Philip's wife. He doesn't think she should throw sleazy accusations around. She backs down and says that Philip is hurting enough. He asks her if she's sharing more than Philip's feelings... like his mattress. She defends herself. They bicker and she sits down to give him friendly advice about Nicole and then Mel. She reminds him of who Mel is and where she comes from. "Wherever Melanie goes, trouble follows," she states.

Mel runs into Dario on the pier and gives him a lecture about drinking Red Bull. They bicker and he tells her some random story about how his sister nearly choked on a marble once. He thinks they should be friends and gets flirty. She doesn't like him. Dario gets closer to her and holds her pulse to point out how her heart is racing. When Brady walks by, Mel runs over and starts kissing him. Brady plays along and then tells Dario to get out of town. As he slouches off, Mel apologizes to Brady but he says kissing her wasn't so bad. He feels like he should take her on a date so they go off together.

Over at the pub, Taylor informs her sister that she can't live at Casa DiMera anymore. Nicole is upset and is sure this is because she can't stand EJ. "You couldn't be more wrong," Taylor claims. Her sister doesn't understand. Rambling follows until Nicole starts wondering if EJ hurt her. "It's you that's going to get hurt," Taylor starts to explain. She rambles some more but it's completely incoherent. This upsets her sister so Taylor promises to visit her mom everyday. This is all depressing Nicole.

At Casa DiMera, Stefano, EJ and RoboRafe toast to finalizing their plan. As they boast about it, Fay eavesdrops. She gasps. The men jump. Elvis goes out to investigate but finds nothing. They finish their deal. "It'll be like Rafe Hernandez never existed," RoboRafe says. After they leave, Fay comes out of hiding and wonders if her daughter knows what her husband is up to. She paces around the house stuttering about evil. She tries calling Nicole but RoboRafe reappears and grabs her phone. As Nicky keeps trying to call, he brings up Misty Circle and tells Fay she must be proud of her daughter. As he taunts her, she tells him she would die before she'd let him touch Nicole. He guesses that she must have been eavesdropping. When he threatens her, she screams and lurches for the door. He chases her down and tells her he can't let her make another peep. She struggles as he drags her up the stairs. At the top, she shoves her down. Out in the garden's mud pit, Elvis continues to panic to his father about Rafe. He needs to see Rafe in person so he knows he has amnesia. Stefano calls over a goon with a laptop. He shows EJ surveillance footage of Rafe in the mental ward yelling about how he doesn't know who he is. EJ gets excited.
