Under pressure, Dr. Rolf eventually confesses that he did sneak into the morgue in disguise and revive Will

Lucas and Sonny eventually arrive at the station to bail Sami out, but Sami's arrest doesn't sit well with Rafe, and he lets Hope know it

Things remain a little hostile between Hope and Sami, but that doesn't stop them from investigating Dr. Rolf's claims about Will

J.J. and Lani are brought onto the case by Hope, but it's a cryptic clue later that sends Sami, Sonny, Paul, John, and Marlena to Tennessee

Knowing the jig is up, Bonnie and Sheila try to bounce from Salem, but Sheila won't let Bonnie stiff her for her services

Bonnie's big game plan is a bust, but Sheila turns to Eli, hoping their history will inspire him to help her escape Salem

Gabi is taken aback when Sheila cautions her to proceed carefully with Eli, which makes Gabi confront her new beau

With Sheila's warnings on the table, Eli expresses his regrets as he explains his connection with Sheila

Lucas may end up having more than a few regrets himself as Justin explains to him what happened with Bonnie and Adrienne

As Lucas learns the truth about Bonnie and Adrienne, Eric demands the truth from Brady, suspecting his stepbrother drove Nicole away from Salem
