Wayne and Earl are asleep outside of the cave and Bo is watching them. He needs to find a way to take care of them and get back to Billie and Greta and get them out of the bayou. Greta is also asleep as Billie watches over her. Billie wonders just how much Greta knows and if she knows the truth about Georgia. Bo sneaks up on Wayne and Earl and grabs their rifle, but Wayne wakes up and grabs him. They want to know where their "Swamp Girl" is but Bo lies and says that she ran away days ago. They don't believe him and start to beat him up. Bo gets away from them.

Meanwhile, back down in the cave, Greta wakes up and she and Billie wonder where Bo is. Greta just hopes that Wayne and Earl haven't captured him. Billie tries to persuade her to trust her and Greta reluctantly agrees, saying that if Billie is a friend of Bo's then she must be okay.

Billie wants to try her makeup on her, but Greta is doubtful it will do any good. Billie convinces her to change her clothes. Later, Billie is finished with her face and she hands Greta the compact. As Greta looks at her reflection, she is shocked Billie says she will teach her how to apply the makeup herself and she will never have to hide her face again. After getting over the shock of seeing herself, Greta begins to examine the compact and has flashbacks of the baby's burial. She turns to Billie and says "I know who you are, Billie!"

Eric is in the park reading the Salem Spectator. The headline reads "Wedding Day Ends in Murder and Tragic Accident". Eric blames himself for not seeing through Franco's lies and deceit. Jay is hiding in the bushes watching him. Nicole shows up and asks about Sami. She feels bad for her AND Eric. She comments how hard it will be to find a fair and impartial jury for Sami in THIS town. Eric feels helpless and says it all started with Franco's lies and it makes him wonder if ANYONE is ever truthful. Nicole asks if he trusts her and Eric says only if she is completely honest with him. She tries to convince him that she is hiding no secrets from him. Jay wonders what all she is lying about now. Eric gets ready to go to the courthouse and Nicole offers to join him and they kiss. Jay realizes that she is lying to either him or Eric and decides it's time to give him a dose of reality.

Carrie and Austin are at the hospital still asleep. Carrie is dreaming that it is Mike in the bed with her and they are kissing as they profess their love for each other. As she looks at Mike, he morphs into Austin. She wakes up in a panic. She slips out of the room and guess who she runs into...Mike. They talk about Austin and Will. Carrie takes the paper from Mike and starts reading the article about Sami. Kate is also reading the same article, then we see Roman...who is reading the article to Shawn, Caroline and Kim at the pub. Roman tries to convince them that he believes Sami acted in self defense, but Kim points out that there was no sign of struggle. They are all hopeful, but yet, skeptical. Mickey and Maggie show up and Mickey says he doesn't have good news. He says he spent half the night with the DA trying to convince her to reduce the charge to manslaughter. He isn't sure if he was successful. Mickey leaves to go visit with Sami and Roman is headed for the hospital to try to talk to Lucas.

Kate visits with Lucas. She wants to be alone with him, but he won't allow it. She leaves, vowing to return. Marlena is outside of Will's room and is joined by Austin. They talk about Will and Austin asks if she has seen Carrie. Marlena thanks him for being there for Will. As Marlena leaves, she tells Austin if she sees Carrie she will tell him he is looking for her. Austin picks up the paper and begins to read and says "Poor Sami". Kate walks up and says "Poor Sami, my foot"

She proceeds to tell Austin he needs to have his head examined. They get into it again as Austin asks Kate to show a little compassion for Sami. Kate says she can rot in Hell for all she cares. She asks him if he has forgotten all that Sami did to him and Carrie, but he says that she has changed. Kate says that she brought all her troubles on herself and that her family needs to accept some of the responsibility. Austin says if that is true, then she needs to accept some of the responsibility for Lucas' actions as well and stomps off.

Meanwhile, Mike and Carrie step out on the terrace and she tells him that she will write a statement for the hospital, since it will probably be crawling with reporters. She then plans to accompany Austin to the arraignment. She says she needs to be there for the family and Austin's sake. She says that she needs to support Austin. Mike points out that she needs to really be committed to the marriage. Carrie says that she is and goes to leave. Mike stops her and offers his hanky and apologizes for making her cry. He advises her to take some time off but she declines.

After she composes herself, he tells her to go and be with Austin. On her way back inside, she runs into Marlena. Mike comes in and gets an odd look from Marlena. He fills her in on Austin and Carrie spending the night together. After he leaves, Roman shows up and as he and Marlena talk, they see Kate across the room. Roman says that he is sure that she knows something. Kate sees him and wishes he would just leave her alone. Marlena tells him that Kate is going through enough right now and not to pressure her. He says that their daughter is as well and he will do whatever it takes. She says that she will trust his judgment. Marlena leaves and Roman says he will join them at the courthouse later. Kate overhears Roman telling the cop that Mike said it is unlikely that Lucas will regain consciousness today. Kate thinks if she goes to the arraignment, it will appear that she is supporting the Brady's and maybe get Roman off her back, so she takes off. After she is gone, we find out that it was a trick and that Roman is staying behind to talk to Lucas...alone. Later, we see Lucas dreaming about the shooting and the accident and begins to wake up. The cop rushes out and tells Roman and Mike that Lucas is awake.

Sami is in her cell dreaming that she is in hell. She sees Roman's face yelling at her and saying she disgraced the family and not to call him daddy. Then, Marlena, Eric, Nicole all take their shots at her. Carrie says she didn't disappoint HER at all and that she is getting what she deserves. Then Austin says she has lost her son forever. The dream ends with Kate telling her to rot in jail and cackling like a witch.

Sami jumps up and asks the lady cop about the arraignment. She says she wants to get out on bail and the cop tells her to not hold her breath. She says they won't set bail for her and from what she read in the paper, she will be lucky to live. She says that the P.D. has an open and shut case against her. Sami tries to remember what happened but draws a blank on the missing time. Mickey shows up and Sami pleads for him to get her out on bail. He tells her that he is trying for a charge of manslaughter and asks her how she wants to plead. Mickey tries to get her to remember, but she can't and becomes frustrated. After he leaves, the cop comes to take her up for the arraignment.

Everyone is there for the big event...Caroline, Shawn and Kim are there as well as Marlena, Mickey and Maggie. Carrie and Austin show up as does Eric and Nicole. Kate slips in the back. Sami is brought into the court room in handcuffs and her ankles are shackled. The cop sort of pushes her and she stumbles. Marlena rushes to her and helps her out. As the charge is read, you can see Marlena's hands rubbing her hair and shoulders. The charge reads like this..."We the People of Salem charge Samantha Brady with MURDER in the first degree."

Bayou

Wayne and Earl are questioning Billie as Bo and Greta hide. Billy tells they duo that she has not seen either of them. Wondering where Billie has been, she tells them that she found shelter for the night and then went looking for the brothers. They are suspicious, but Billie starts playing the scared little girl routine. They buy it, and decide to check out the cave again. Greta is worried that Wayne & Earl will find them. Bo reassures her that won't happen, that she can trust Billie. Greta flashes to Billie asking Greta to keep the secret of Georgia's burial in the bayou. Greta is obviously torn. As Wayne & Earl head to the cave, Billie fakes them out by claiming she thought she heard Swamp Girl in the other direction. Wayne & Earl take Billie to investagate, they don't want to lose her again. Bo and Greta come out of the cave and Greta reassures Bo that they won't hurt Billie. The walk for a while and are about to get onto the main road when Bo pushes away a tree branch to find Earl with a shotgun trained on them. Courthouse Kate reiterates that she will pay Sami's million dollar bail only because Will needs his mother by his side. Sami doesn't care who pays her bail as long as she can get back to the hospital. Marlena and Mickey, Carrie and Austin all thank Kate, who is wondering where Roman is. Kate hands a check to Mickey and as Sami leaves says softly so that only Kate will hear, "I know you're up to something...I just don't know what." Carrie tells Kate that Roman is at the hospital questioning Lucas. Kate freaks, learning that Lucas is conscious and bolts out of the courthouse. As she's driving, she gets pulled over by a cop. The cop is letting her off easy, but she gives him attitude and warns her that if she doesn't slow down, she'll end up in the hospital. Nicole has a change of clothes for Sami and the two talk about Franco. Sami tells her that she really loved him and would live happily ever after. When she found out that he cheated on her, she figures she must have gotten her gun and shot him. She still can't remember, but right now all she cares about is Will. Nicole is suspicious that Kate paid her bail, but Sami is not looking a gift-horse in the mouth. Sami thanks Mickey, then leaves to go to the hospital. As she leaves the courthouse with Marlena, she is attacked by the press who want to know all the details. Carrie comes out and makes a statement to the press that Sami has pleaded not guilty to murder. Sami looks on in amazement that Carrie would help her. Eric and Nicole are talking about Sami. Eric is obviously worried, but Nicole thinks Sami has a good chance to get acquitted because she does not remember doing it and any good lawyer can find holes in the prosecution's case. This gives Eric some hope and he wonders how Nicole knows so much about the law. TV shows, she answers. Eric is grateful for Nicole being there and the two kiss. Hospital Lucas tells Roman that he wants to cooperate and tell him everything he knows. Roman starts off with asking Lucas to tell him everything he saw when he was at the mansion. Lucas starts to talk, but is overcome with a coughing fit. When Roman gets Lucas some water, Lucas is impressed that Roman is being so nice to him; he figured he'd be in handcuffs with all the trouble he's in. Roman tells him that while he is in trouble, he is more concerned about what happened to Franco. Lucas starts off that he snuck into the house during the wedding preparations, knowing it would be too busy for anyone to see him. Roman asks if anyone helped him, but Lucas says no. It was all his idea. He went upstairs and got Will and brought him to the car. But it wasn't easy....he had to hide while everyone came in to see Will. In the car, Will was crying for his bear, so Lucas went in to get it. Roman asked if anyone saw him the second time. Lucas is thinking, and Roman gets him some more water. Roman asks about Kate...if she helped him kidnap Will. Lucas emphatically says no, Kate knew nothing about his plan. Roman believes him and asks what happened when he went in the second time. Lucas flashes to Franco about to kill Kate, then writhes in pain. Mike checks on Lucas and tells Roman that he's in pain, but should be able to continue questioning him. Lucas wants to know why its so important. Roman says he just wants his version of events. Roman wonders why Lucas would risk going in a second time, and Lucas says because Will wanted the bear. It's a good thing to, Lucas says, because if he didn't go back in.....then he stops talking. Roman asks if he saw Sami. He says no. Roman asks if he saw Franco and Sami arguing. Lucas says, no, it wasn't like that, he's got it all wrong. Lucas says he doesn't know how and Roman keeps badgering Lucas as to how Franco was killed. Lucas claims he's too tired, but Roman is pushing him. Carrie and Austin arrive and Mike tells them Sami is visiting Will. The press have showed up again, and Carrie decides to go talk to them. Austin is grateful and Mike agrees that she's doing the right thing. Carie is doing it to save her marriage. Sami is talking to Will telling him that mommy is back and that she loves him. Austin looks on, proud of Sami. Viv's Townhouse John arrives at Viv's townhouse, and Celeste answers the door. He knows she is on the Empress Express with Stefano. Celeste mentions that Hope is on there as well. She proceeds to tell John that she and Ivan were worried about Vivian and that's why they went along. When Celeste discovered that Hope was on the train, she tried to warn her. John tells her that he did warn her, to no avail. Hope is certain that she will find the answers to her past on board. Celeste predicts that if Stefano feel threatened, no place is safe for Hope. Celeste then proceeds to tell John that they were worried about Vivian's health, but when Stefano found out they were on the train, he deliberately made sure they did not get back on. John is curious, because he knows Vivian's moods have been erratic since before she left. Celeste tells him her moods are worse and that it is somehow Stefano's doing. Celeste then tells the story of how she and Ivan had their wallets stolen in Milan and missed the train. They had to hitchhike to Venice, where they got separated. Celeste looked up some old friends to borrow money to get back to Salem. Ivan's whereabouts are unknown. John is concerned about Vivian, and Celeste is amazed that he has feeling for her. Yeah, she's his aunt. Besides, if Stefano is involved, then it could help Hope and John with their pasts. John begins to admire all the artwork of Jonsey's and wonders how he got the bucks to pay for all of it. Especially since everyone thought he was just a bum. They talk more about Vivian's erratic mood swings. The conversation turns back to Hope and John tells Celeste that Hope and Stefano have run into each other. John then poses the question if Celeste knew what Hope was doing while at Maison Blanche. John tells Celeste about the plastic surgery, or lack thereof, on Hope. So what happened during those year, John wants to know. Celeste tells him what she told Hope....in actuality, she was only with Hope a short time before John rescued her. She has no idea what Hope was doing. If Celeste hears from Vivian, John asks for her to tell her. Celeste then looks around and says that Stefano is a collector of art, he may be after Vivian's treasures. John pulls out the picture of him as a priest in Switzerland and shows it to Celeste. Celeste commiserates that it must be frustrating, but that she will help him any way she can. Empress Express Stefano and the monacled man about Hope. Stefano is confident that the party she is throwing will not lead to anything significant about her time as Princess Gina, but he is concerned enought that he vows to stop the train. Vivian, still in an up mode, announces to all that Princess Gina is really Hope Williams Brady from Salem. Hope is upset at Vivian and fears that Vivian will blow her chance to find out about her life as Gina. Vivian is going on and on about Hope when Rudolpho comes in. Viv asks Rudolpho to verify that it really is Hope. Hope decides to turn the situation around by exposing Rudolpho Meradi as the notorious criminal, Stefano DiMera. Hope tells the guests the tragic tale of what Stefano did to her...taking four years of her life, making her family believe she was dead. Vivian tries to cover for Stefano, saying that this is Rudolpho, she's known him for years and everyone knows he's Rudolpho. Then she leans overs and whispers "Ix-Nay on the Ephano-Stay" (LOL). But Hope continues telling everyone that she is Princess Gina. Then she plays the trump card...she's got the royal birthmark to prove it. Hope introduces, Dr. Reneault, the plastic surgeon, to verify the birthmark. Surprisingly, Stefano is just standing there, but he wonders how Hope found out about the birthmark. Rudolpho takes Gina aside and tells her that she must be disturbed, that everyone should enjoy the party without these foolish accusations. Gina knows she's got him on the ropes and that he can't stall her forever. Don't count on it, Stefano thinks. Meanwhile the monacle man is lurking in the hallways.

On the way to the balcony, Roman tells the cop standing guard at Lucas' door not to let anyone in. Marlena wonders why he was not at the hearing. He figured he could do more to help Sami if he questioned Lucas. Marlena tells him that Sami was charged with first degree murder and could get the death penalty. Then she tells him Kate posted Sami's million dollar bail. Roman and Marlena are suspicious of Kate's reasoning, but they don't do anything more about it.
