At the safe house, Marlena was sitting in bed with Carrie when Carrie awoke with a start from a nightmare. Marlena pressed her hand to Carrie's forehead and neck, and noted that Carrie felt very warm. Carrie admitted that she was worried about Rafe, because they hadn't heard from him or the others. Marlena said that she'd heard from John, who'd told her that they had arrested Nevski, the arms dealer, and the team was setting up an undercover meeting with Stefano.

Carrie and Marlena both looked forward to going home once Stefano was behind bars, although Carrie wasn't sure where her home would be after she ended things with Austin. Suddenly, Carrie admitted she wasn't feeling well, and ran into the bathroom. A bit later, Marlena made Carrie a cup of tea, and wondered aloud if it were really a good time for Carrie to make such a big decision. Carrie said that she knew she wanted to be with Rafe, even if she didn't know how to tell Austin.

Marlena asked, "Are you worried that you're choosing to be in a relationship with Rafe, and Nicole is carrying his child?" Carrie admitted that the commitment Rafe had made to Nicole and the baby only made her love him more. Marlena seemed concerned when Carrie started to take some ibuprofen a little later. Carrie admitted that she also had a headache, and she'd been feeling ill for a few days. "Do you think something's really wrong with me?" Carrie asked.

Marlena asked if Carrie were having other symptoms -- like being late. Carrie admitted that she had missed her period the month before, but there had been a lot going on in her life. As it slowly dawned on Carrie, she asked, "Oh, my God, Marlena -- do you think I'm pregnant?"

At Sami's, Lucas urged Sami to calm down before she went after Will. An upset Sami again lamented how Will had confided in Marlena before he'd admitted to Sami that he was gay. Lucas lit into her, pointing out how Sami's walking out on Will had been the worst thing she could possibly have done, and excoriated her for discussing their son's private business with E.J.

After reading her the riot act, Lucas declared that he would understand if Will never spoke to her again. Sami begged Lucas to help her find a way to fix things with Will, because she knew that Lucas was right. She said that she had only wanted to tell Will that she loved him no matter what, but she had messed things up terribly. Lucas warned her that she might not get another chance if she lost it again. Sami noted that she should try to be more like her mother, who always thought before she acted.

Sami continued that she had walked out earlier because she had felt like a failure, because her son hadn't felt like he could confide in her. Lucas thought that Will would eventually forgive Sami because he loved her, and he urged her to tell her son that she loved him unconditionally. After thanking Lucas and acknowledging that it would be more difficult the longer she waited, Sami left in search of her son.

Lucas then left a voicemail for Will: "I just had a long talk with your mom, and she's really sorry. She wants to explain how she really feels. And she loves you, you know; we both do."

At the Kiriakis mansion, Maggie surprised Victor with a romantic birthday dinner for two. Maggie promised that when Bo and the others returned, they would all have a big celebration for Victor's birthday, but part of her was glad to have a private celebration for just the two of them first. Henderson happily poured champagne for Victor and sparkling cider for Maggie, and then left the two alone. Victor and Maggie toasted to their love.

A little later, Henderson announced Lucas' arrival. Maggie hugged her nephew warmly as Lucas wished Victor a happy birthday. Victor was touched that Lucas had remembered. Victor then asked about Lucas and Sami's relationship. Lucas would only say that he and Sami were working together because it was good for the kids. Lucas then said that he was leaving so that Victor and Maggie could get back to their date, so Maggie walked him out.

While Henderson cleared the table, he chatted with Victor about Lucas. Victor noted that the dinner had been especially good that night. Henderson said that Victor should mention it to Mrs. Kiriakis, who had insisted on preparing the meal herself. "It seems to make her very happy to take care of you, sir," Henderson remarked. "I'm going to make sure Maggie stays happy, which means she can never find out the truth," Victor declared -- just as Maggie returned and overheard. "The truth about what, Victor?" Maggie demanded.

In Horton Square, Lexie was surprised and thrilled when Abe removed her blindfold to reveal that the square had been transformed into a replica of Paris. The scenery included a miniature Eiffel Tower, street vendors, performers including a strolling accordionist and a mime, bistro-style tables with red-checked tablecloths, French flags, and the like. Melanie welcomed Lexie to Paris in French, and Lexie effusively thanked Abe and the others who had helped put the spectacle together.

Abe had even learned how to tell his wife he loved her in French. "Je t'aime," he declared, and she kissed him appreciatively, while the accordionist played nearby. E.J. encouraged Celeste to let him know if she or Lexie needed anything else. Celeste noted that Lexie needed all of her family around her.

Abigail marveled to Cameron that Lexie and Abe both looked very happy. In passing, Abigail mentioned her brother J.J. and the boarding school he was attending in London, and it turned out that Cameron had gone to the same school. Abigail spotted Melanie sitting in Chad's lap while they had their caricature drawn -- and Gabi scowling as she watched. Gabi finally interrupted to ask if she could speak with Chad.

As Celeste worriedly watched Cameron and Abigail together, she took out her tarot cards and began to spread them out on the table. Abigail wanted to see what was going on with Melanie, Chad, and Gabi. Cameron encouraged her to go, but reminded her that she'd promised to have dinner with him later.

Chad then informed Abigail that Gabi had been getting phone calls that she thought were from her stalker. Gabi explained that the guy only breathed into the phone and then hung up. Abigail wanted to see Gabi's phone, but Gabi claimed that the number had been blocked, and she had deleted all of the calls. When Abigail asked why, Gabi got very defensive. Chad asked for a minute with Gabi, so Melanie and Abigail sat at a nearby table.

Chad asked if Gabi had heard back from the mayor's office, since Will had promised to call on her behalf. Gabi said that she had, and Chad wanted to know what they were going to do to catch the stalker. Gabi explained that someone in the mayor's office had cautioned her not to let the stalker know she was scared.

Abigail told Melanie that she hoped Chad could talk Gabi into going to the police, but Melanie was doubtful. Melanie admitted that Gabi's constant presence had kept Chad and Melanie from getting to spend much time alone. Abigail was sympathetic, although Melanie worried that Gabi could really be in danger. Abigail wondered, "Don't you think if Gabi were really that scared that she would go to the police?" Melanie pointed out that Gabi had just lost her brother, so Melanie didn't want to push it, since Chad seemed to be the only one who could calm her down.

Meanwhile, Gabi told Chad that she felt safe as long as she was staying with him. Melanie and Abigail watched with a bit of dismay as Gabi put her arms around Chad, and he did his best to comfort her.

Cameron joined Celeste, who declared that she wanted to read the cards for him again. Cameron accused Celeste of downright not liking Abigail. Celeste insisted that she was worried about Abigail as much as Cameron, because the cards said that there was great danger around Abigail. "The cards say whatever wack thing it is you want them to say," Cameron scoffed. Celeste warned him to take the cards more seriously.

Abe left to take care of something mysterious, so Lexie joined E.J. on a bench. She thanked her brother for everything he'd done to prepare her surprise -- and for making an effort to get along with Abe. Lexie then asked if E.J. were doing all right. He admitted he was not, but he didn't want to talk about it. Lexie said that her professional opinion was that he missed Nicole, and E.J. concurred, "More than I could have imagined." Lexie declared that E.J. was a good man at heart, and he would end up with a wonderful wife and family.

Sami arrived just then, and looked around at the square with surprised wonder. Lexie left to look for Abe, and Sami asked E.J. what was going on. He quickly filled her in, and then asked if she'd talked to Will yet. Sami admitted that she hadn't, but only because she wanted to think through what she was going to say first. Although pleased with that change of behavior, E.J. warned Sami that she might not get another chance to make things right with Will. Lucas showed up, and was not pleased to see Sami and E.J. together.

Accompanied by the accordionist, Abe found Lexie, and had the woman play a song that Lexie loved so that he could dance with his wife. Lexie leaned happily into his arms, and the two swayed together to the music. She thanked Abe for a magical evening. "You know there's nothing I like better than making your dreams come true," Abe said.

At the warehouse, Bo, Hope, John, and Rafe were getting into their disguises before their meeting with Stefano. All were dressed almost solely in black, with gloves and long sleeves covering their exposed skin. Hope pulled a black scarf around her head, covering most of her face and neck, while the men had hoods and face masks. John urged the others to keep Stefano talking once he arrived, because Shane would be recording everything from a surveillance van.

They had Nevski's cell phone, which rang with a call from Stefano. Bo answered it as Nevski, using a bad Russian accent, but it was good enough to fool Stefano. Bo made a vague excuse as to why Nevski hadn't been in contact with Stefano yet. Stefano warned Nevski that he knew about the other buyers Nevski had met with, but Bo assured Stefano that the weapons were securely on the ship. Once Bo gave Stefano the location, Stefano declared that he was on his way.

When Stefano arrived, he asked about the extra people with "Nevski," and why everyone was wearing masks. "Nevski" admitted that he'd had a couple of security breaches since his last dealings with Stefano. Stefano pointed out that Nevski knew better than to double-cross Stefano, but "Nevski" replied that he had only responded to a better offer. Stefano argued that Nevski had to honor their deal, because they'd signed a contract and Stefano had wired the money to pay for the munitions.

"Nevski" agreed that they could consider the additional money a down payment for future orders. Stefano warned that there would be dire consequences if Nevski did not deliver what Stefano had bought and paid for. Chuckling, "Nevski" declared that they had a deal, but cautioned Stefano that some of the items had been unattainable. Stefano said that there had to be a change in the payment to compensate. "Nevski" asked for the original invoice and the receipt for the money transfer. Stefano produced those willingly, and the men agreed on a deal.

Stefano then asked, "So, are we done here?" Bo replied, "Not quite." He removed his mask, as did the others, revealing their true identities. Bo declared that Stefano had made a couple of wrong moves, as Stefano grinned from ear to ear, seemingly pleased that the group was alive and well. "This is check and mate," John said. While Hope put the handcuffs on Stefano, Bo read Stefano his rights.
