Philip and Belle came home from the hospital to find that Kate had thrown them a surprise party. As the festivities got under way, John snuck off to a corner to shoot up his painkillers. Nicole noticed him and told Brady she recognized the warning signs that he was a drug addict. Brady didn't want to believe it but snuck up behind John and witnessed a syringe fall out of his pocket. Kate overheard Nicole and Brady and she fought with Nicole. When Brady returned he had to break the bad news to Kate. The three agreed to take John home. A surly and temperamental John went with them. After discovering the meds stolen from Salem hospital in John's jacket pocket, Brady put in a phone call to Abe and Lexie to get John help.

Shawn prepared for his bail hearing as a very angry Mickey lectured him on the charges. Shawn maintained he was innocent of doing drugs. When Shawn went to his hearing, Hope argued with Bo on the phone, finally hanging up on him without telling him about Shawn. After Billie insisted, Bo called back to explain to Hope why he left. Unfazed, Hope told Bo he should have let Patrick go after he volunteered. When Bo said he couldn't trust Patrick, Hope spit back, "I don't trust you." Hurt, Bo pressed Hope to talk. Hope finally spilled all about Shawn and Bo swore to return to Salem on the next flight. She was even more relieved when Shawn returned, out on bail.

After the party wound down, Philip and Belle settled in for the night. Unfortunately, Shawn pounded on the door and found a stunned and unhappy Philip answering it. Shawn demanded to talk to Belle.

Across the hall, Rex told Mimi to give up the Belle and Shawn dream. Mimi agreed to back off but insisted they needed to stay strong and support Shawn since he needed them now.

In Europe, Jack tried to hide out in the hotel bar but when Bart showed up flashing his picture, Jack was again on the run. Billie just managed to miss Jack and couldn't quite place Bart's voice. The hotel innkeeper, on the DiMera payroll, promised Bart Jack had nowhere to run. Meanwhile, Jack slipped out the upstairs window and made a break for it.

Down the hall Billie overheard Bo argue on the phone with Hope and counseled him to work things out with his wife. Billie went back downstairs to check the phone number she had against a reverse directory. Once she had an address, Billie asked the innkeeper if she knew the name. Smiling, the innkeeper told Billie they were a nice family with a fifteen year old daughter. Happy, Billie set off on her own to see the teen. Meanwhile, the innkeeper tipped off someone on the phone to Billie's investigation.

A poorly disguised Jack hopped a ship for passage back to the states. Unfortunately, the captain caught him and threatened to call the police. Smooth talking Deveraux sweet talked his way into doing the ship's laundry in exchange for passage to the United States and on his way back to Jennifer.
