John and Victor stopped by to visit Chloe and Brady and tell them about their surprise: they wanted to subsidize the wedding. Horrified, Chloe ran out of the room and left Brady to explain that she was nervous about her scarring. Brady followed her into the bedroom, and Chloe admitted that she was terrified that her face would not heal in time for the wedding. Afraid of the pressure, Chloe suggested they elope. When she asked how he felt, Brady said he would do whatever would make her feel comfortable. Comforted, Chloe changed her mind and admitted that she wanted to marry him in St. Luke's like they planned, surrounded by family and friends.

Out in the living room, Victor asked John about Marlena's recovery. John told him about the seclusion therapy and admitted that he was having second thoughts about Dr. North. After learning his first name was Alex, Victor said the name was familiar, but that he could not place it. Victor received a call on his cell phone from Kate, but before he left, he told John to do something about Marlena. As the door closed, John agreed with Victor's suggestion and called Marlena up at the cabin.

Up at the mountain cabin, Marlena brought out some fresh loaves of bread for Alex to try. Eager to see if she was making progress, Marlena asked Alex if she used to bake. After consulting his book of Marlena fun facts, he told her that no, according to her daughters, she was a terrible cook. Marlena tried to peek at the book but Alex warned her it may interfere with her recovery, for the same reasons she was in seclusion. She agreed and said that she was actually relieved to be there and because she didn't know or remember the men in her life, she did not care if she ever saw them again. Marlena worried that she was not more concerned about seeing her family, but Alex told her it was normal and that as her memory returned, she would want to see her family. Alex swore that he would respect her wishes, and Marlena countered that her only wish was that Alex would keep John away since he made her feel uncomfortable. Alex suggested that she may feel differently when she remembered John, but Marlena stated that she did not really want to because she was afraid she would not be able to find herself again. Suddenly, John called and Marlena begged Alex to take the call. Alex acceded to her wishes and answered, telling John that Marlena was out for a walk before the call was disconnected. A worried Alex told Marlena that John would likely come up to check on her if Marlena did not return his call. Frightened, Marlena called John back and learned that he was in fact, on his way up to see her. Marlena begged him to stay away so that he would not hinder her recovery, and then apologized for hurting his feelings. John agreed he would stay away.

At the beach, Bo continued to pummel Patrick before Hope intervened and tore them apart. After noting Chelsea was smiling, a suspicious Hope demanded the truth from Chelsea who then explained that Max spilled cider on her and went to get a sweatshirt. A huffy Patrick interrupted to say he thought that Max attacked Chelsea but she was forced to admit she never said anything like that. Patrick admitted he jumped to conclusions just as Bo did the same, blaming Patrick for hitting on Chelsea. Grudgingly, Chelsea explained that she was the one who hugged Patrick and that he did not touch her because he was only trying to help. Hope suggested that Chelsea apologize and a furious Chelsea said she did not give a crap about what Bo and Hope thought before running off, Billie in tow.

Hope dragged Bo aside to warn him that Chelsea was smiling during the whole fight and that she was clearly manipulating everyone. Bo continued to blame Patrick but Hope insisted she trusted Patrick with her life. Frustrated, Bo said Hope was too busy judging Chelsea and ignoring the fact that she was family.

Chelsea ran down to the docks, talking skyward at her parents, wondering why they left her with Billie because she hated her. Billie arrived on the scene and said she never meant to cause Chelsea any pain. An angry Chelsea lashed out at Billie telling her that she probably lied about her mother's dying words and was using her to get back together with Bo or snag Patrick. When Bo arrived, Chelsea continued her tirade, telling Billie she was desperate and pathetic. Billie told Chelsea she was pushing away the people that loved her but Chelsea scoffed at the thought. Bo tried to calm Chelsea down but she continued to say nasty things to Billie. Finally, a tearful Billie told Chelsea that she cared because she was their missing daughter. In disbelief, Chelsea slapped Billie and yelled, "You bitch!"

At Alice's a waitressing Mimi went to the bar and found out that the newest bartender was Shawn. When Shawn and Philip entered and sat down, Shawn told Mimi that Belle knew about the two of them and that she had acted jealously. He then insisted that he did not care about that though because his relationship with Belle was over and this was the first day of the rest of his life.

Later, Belle tried to talk to Mimi but was silenced when Mimi said, "It is nice to work with a friend. But oh, I forgot, you don't know what that is." Mimi then stalked off to serve drinks.

After showing Kate his new prosthetic leg, Philip went over to talk to Shawn and reiterate that he thought Shawn and Mimi made a great couple. Belle wandered over and told Philip about what happened with Mimi. Philip asked Shawn to talk to Mimi about Belle and Shawn agreed that he would.

At a nearby table, Kate mulled over what Sami's secret identity was. After calling Victor for advice, he showed up at Alice's to talk over drinks. After asking if Victor was still in touch with operatives in the DiMera organization, Kate begged Victor to find out what Tony's connection to Sami was. At first, Victor cautioned her to stop going after Sami since she had already beat her once, but then he agreed to check into Sami's connection to Tony.

Out on the terrace at Alice's, Bart, dressed like a priest, chatted up a sulky Sami. Bart pulled out some photos of Sami transforming into Stan and warned Sami that if she didn't get some needed codes off of her father's computer, Tony would publish the photos to Sami's friends and family. As Sami burned the photos over a candle on the terrace, Kate watched Sami from a window in the bar.
