Nicole arrives at the mansion but, when she sees Chloe and Philip eating dinner, she loses her appetite. She starts sniping at Chloe and her lackluster opera career. It doesn't take long before the 's' word starts coming out. Philip watches as Nicole lays into Chloe over Brady and lambastes him for jumping all over his nephew's lady, "Chloe Lame". He doesn't remember when she joined the morality police and brings up her various infidelities to Victor. She admits to these and doesn't see why she should even care about this when Pookie is in the hospital. She's just trying to help Philly. "Despite what you think, I really do care about you," she admits. He smirks. She still has feelings, she begins, but her phone starts barking (Pookie's bark is her ringtone) before she can finish. It's EJ setting up a meeting with her. She leaves "the kids" behind. He tells Chloe not to let Nicole get to her. She admits that Nicole is actually right and they shouldn't be fooling around. Chloe has trouble letting Brady go, even if she has Philly as a distraction. He reminds her of how much she wants to annoy his father and tells her to stop thinking so much. She still doesn't think it's right for them to hook up. They start kissing. He tells her to admit to what she wants: She really came back to Salem for him. "No," she says, moving away. "Call me what you want, but you can't deny what's between us," he says. She's lost her appetite and leaves the dining room. He shrugs and pulls out John's memory disc.

At the mansion, Sami finds EJ in his exercise outfit, leaving for the gym. After he walks out, Sami asks her mother to look after the twins while she trudges off to the gym. Marlena wanders into John's office while he continues to search for who broke into his home. She's put out some feelers herself. "I'm helping," she says perkily. He's not that impressed. Daniel walks in and John calls him the "Big Kahuna" and begins talking about his surfing career. John soon drifts out of the conversation and Daniel tells Marlena he needs some personal advice. Marlena asks John to step out. He refuses, reminding her that they were in the middle of something. "Please?" she asks. "Make it quick," he barks before leaving. Daniel sits down with Marlena and she begins to probe. He tells her how he's been traveling the world looking for an adrenaline rush to get over his loss and stay detached, but he doesn't know if he can avoid it anymore. "Are you saying that you're getting involved with patient?" she asks. He needs her to tell him how to fall out of love and move on. Marlena doesn't know how to help him. John eavesdrops as they talk. Daniel wants a guarantee, but Marlena doesn't think there are any. She tells him to imagine his wife. He closes his eyes but can't get the vibe. He tries again and imagines his wife telling him that he should allow himself to love someone. "That's very good advice," Marlena says. He doesn't want any more questions, just some more solid advice. His problem is that he doesn't know what he wants, she explains. He has intuition in the operating room, but he would rather surf than think about his personal problems. She thinks he knows what he wants, he's just afraid of the risk and needs someone to tell him it's okay to go ahead. "Damn... you're good," he smiles. She cautions him to go slowly so that he's comfortable and it feels right.

After Marlena walks Daniel out, John steps out of the shadows. She asks him why he was eavesdropping. It's his house, he'll do what he pleases, he asserts. They return to the topic of his missing disc. She says that she's gotten Roman involved in the search. He doesn't want her involved. "That's too bad because I love you very much," she says. He smokes his cigar.

Sami follows EJ to the gym and spies on him, knocking over protein supplements while he helps a woman exercise. As she starts to exercise, the man next to her, Chris, starts calling her a cutie before noticing EJ. "that tall drink of water", and the woman who seems to be into him. It's Nicole. She and EJ wander over and taunt her. "Instead of doing laps, let's work out a few kinks in the steam room," Nicole suggests. She takes him away and Sami asks Chris to follow them into the steam room to eavesdrop. He high fives her and jogs off. EJ and Nicole lock themselves in the steam room and start to make out as Chris runs down the hall. He listens at the door and gasps. He runs back out to Sami and tells her that he heard a lot of moans. "It sound like he was really good," he comments. Sami grumbles. She runs down the hall to the steam room but stops herself from barging in. Inside, EJ stops making out with Nicole. "You're a beautiful woman but I love Samantha," he reminds her. "Who said anything about love," she says, pulling him into more kisses.

Kate takes Chelsea out for dinner at the pub. Chelsea is feeling better now that people have stopped asking her how she feels. Kate wonders how she is doing emotionally. Chelsea wants some advice: How do I make a guy realize that he loves me? "I have a feeling that you're not talking about Nick," Kate assumes. Chelsea wants a relationship with Daniel: He's hot and smart and she's dumped Nick. Unfortunately, Daniel has problems and she explains what happened with his wife. Kate tells her that a relationship with Daniel isn't what she needs, she should actually get as far away from him as she can. That doesn't sound like good advice to Chelsea. Kate is sure that Chelsea would always take a backseat to his dead wife. Chelsea begins mocking Kate for her past and brings up Martino, who suddenly walks in. Kate assures her that Martino wasn't a hood when she was with him. "I have known enough men with issues that prevented them from being in a relationship," she explains. Daniel has to deal with what happened or he will never be ready to move on. Daniel drifts in and sits at the bar. Kate repeats that she'll never be happy running after Daniel. After she leaves, he sits down with Chelsea. He tells her that, "The concept of us is just not happening right now." That's what Kate told Chelsea too, but she thinks that she is wrong. She won't argue and play games though. "I hope you figure all your stuff out," she says. When he does, he can call her. She walks out.

Across the pub, Ava starts to demand some answers from Angelo. "Your father wanted you out of the way today so he and some of the fellows could take care of Patch," Angelo confesses. She wonders why he's admitted to this. He's sick of being treated like a puppet and he's sick of how her father has been treating her. "Daddy's days of controlling me are over," she says. Martino arrives and sits down. She asks him what he is going to do to Patch. He plays ignorant. "You better call it off daddy or you will be sorry," she threatens.

Hope and Kayla are drinking tea when Bo calls. He tells her that Steve is in trouble but she can't tell Kayla about it. Hope leaves her friend behind and rushes away. At the docks, Steve plays the harmonica while a sniper takes aim at his head. Before the sniper can take his shot, Bo interrupts him, levelling a gun at his head. As he reads the guy his rights, Hope searches him and finds something. They hurry over to the pub and arrest Martino for murder and attempted murder. Meanwhile, Kayla gets bored waiting around and decides to call Steve. When she stands up, she has a spasm before collapsing on the couch. "Oh God! This is it!" she screams, getting on the phone for an ambulance: She's gone into labor.
