Bo goes to the pub and tells Caroline that Hope loved the present. Caroline asks Bo if something is wrong and Bo says that Hope is afraid of something. Bo and Caroline talk and Caroline suggests Hope give up the search for her past. Bo says Hope has to learn what happened before she can move on with her future, which includes him and Shawn D. Caroline says she wishes she knew why Stefano has this vendetta against their family. Bo wishes he knew too and says hopefully he and Hope will bring him down.

Hope meets with Lilly at the Java web for espresso. Lilly asks Hope what is wrong and Hope tells her that she's had very frightening memories. Lilly asks why these memories are frightening her. Hope says these memories are different from the others, which were always happy, the new memories are dark and Stefano is in them. Hope tells Lilly that she could sense a deep connection between herself and Stefano. Hope says for the first time she's actually terrified about what she might learn.

Hope doesn't understand why this is happening to her now, just when everything was going right. Lilly asks Hope if she's told Bo and she says no because she doesn't want to upset Bo. Lilly asks Hope what she is going to do now and Hope says she can't commit to Bo until she knows the truth. She says until she knows what the connection between her and Stefano was, she can't be with Bo. Shawn D. shows up and wishes Ms. Faversham a merry Christmas. Ms. Faversham tells Hope she has an appointment with the hair dresser and has to go, but tells Hope she's here for her anytime she needs her.

Hope goes for a walk and remembers more about her encounter in the alley with Stefano. Suddenly, a hand is placed on her shoulder. Hope turns around to find Bo. Hope hugs him and tells her that she is so scared, but she wants to go to Europe now and search for her past.

Rolf is working on the satellite, which is almost in position. This pleases Stefano, but Rolf tells him it will only be a little while longer. Stefano says Hope is most likely remembering her times as Gina and he can't let her remember he was involved with him or that she was a master thief. Rolf says the transformation should occur soon, unless Salem is hit by a major storm or dense cloud coverage, which would block the satellite's signals from activating the chip in Hope's brain.

Stefano tells Rolf that he better make sure this transformation happens. Rolf tells Stefano that he's unable to control the weather. Stefano tells Rolf to strengthen the signal, but Rolf says that may make Hope remember the truth. Stefano says he can't have Hope remembering she was an art thief. Stefano says he has to come up with something to distract Bo and Hope from digging into Hope's past, and he thinks he knows just what to do. Stefano makes a call and tells Rolf that everything has been taken care of. Shawn D. goes to the movies and is suddenly grabbed by a mysterious hand!

Ali talks with Nancy at the hospital and tells Nancy she has a gift for Mike. Nancy says she thought she and Mike broke up and Ali tells Nancy that is the farthest thing from the truth. Mike is trying to work in his office, but all he can think about is the psycho. Ali shows up to see Mike and wishes him a merry Christmas. Ali gives Mike a present and he tells her she shouldn't have. He opens it and its a watch. Mike tells her its too extravagant, but Ali says she can't return it because it's been engraved. On the back of the watch it says "With love, forever, Ali"

Ali tells him this way she can be with him all the time, forever. Ali tells Mike that he says he doesn't want a commitment, but their kiss on Christmas Eve told a whole other story. Mike tells ALi that it is time he tells her the whole truth. Ali tells him that there is no need. Ali tells Mike that since Judy has been away, she's been carrying out some of her duties. She tells Mike that Dr. Renault should be arriving today and she has already set up a room for him.

Austin and Carrie return home and Austin can't stop talking about Sami remembering what really happened. Austin tells Carrie that she could be happy for Sami, but Carrie just can't get by the fact that Sami was found with the gun in her hand and confessed to killing Franco. Austin and Carrie then begin to argue. Austin says Carrie of sounds like she doesn't want Sami to be found innocent. Carrie says she wants Sami to be found innocent because than she can raise Will herself. Austin looks at Carrie and tells her that she can't believe she said that.

Austin tells Carrie she is selfish and doesn't give a damn about Sami's well being. Carrie tells Austin he is twisting her words around and making her look like the bad guy. Carrie asks Austin if he so sure Sami didn't kill Franco, than who did? Austin tells Carrie that she's so obsessed with getting revenge on Sami and then tells her that perhaps the old Sami has been reborn in her! Carrie tells Austin that is cold and that the old Sami is right where she has always been. Carrie tells Austin that Sami is tearing them apart, but Austin says she's doing that on her on.

Carrie goes to work and Mike shows up to see her. Mike realizes this is a bad time, but Carrie tells him it isn't. Mike asks her if she's finished the press release on Dr. Renault and she says she forgot, but will get right on it. Mike asks Carrie if she's talked to Austin about Sami's breakthrough and Carrie says "Oh yeah!" Mike says that he finds it hard to believe Sami. Carrie tells Mike he seems to be the only one who agrees with her on that point. Carrie starts crying and asks Mike to hold her. He tells her of course, and holds her. Ali runs back into Nancy, who tells her that she might be deluding herself about Mike and calls her desperate. Ali says that she is not deluding herself, Mike loved her present and told her that he loved her when they were in bed together on Christmas Eve.

At the penthouse, Marlena asks Sami if she knows who shot Franco. Sami says she doesn't know. Mickey is there as well and tells Sami that he needs more information to convince the judge of her innocence. Suddenly, Sami exclaims "I know who shot Franco!" Sami says what if Franco caught a drunk Lucas kidnapping Will and he used the gun he gave Sami to keep Lucas from leaving with Will, but perhaps they struggled, Lucas got the gun, and then killed Franco. Sami says that if Lucas kidnapped Will, Franco knew she would call off the wedding to find him.

Marlena thinks Sami's theory makes sense, but Sami still can't explain how the gun ended up in her hand. Roman says perhaps Lucas tossed the gun and maybe Sami picked the gun up before fainting, or Lucas could have framed her. Maggie doesn't think Lucas would do such a thing, but Roman says it would explain Lucas' phone call to Kate and that they must be covering the truth up. Roman says all they need to do now if prove this theory. Austin shows up, without Carrie, and Mickey and Maggie leave. Sami tells Austin that she thinks she found a way to prove her innocent. Roman tells Sami that he will prove she didn't kill Franco.

Eric sees Nicole and is unhappy that she is wearing Lucas' bracelet. She tells her if she cares about him than she'll give it back. Nicole says he was just trying to say thank you to her, but Eric says Lucas is trying to buy his way into her heart. Nicole asks Eric if he really wants her back, or if he doesn't want to lose to Lucas? Eric says this isn't about Lucas, he wants to forget the past and move on. Nicole asks if he wants to commit to her and Eric tells her that he's missed her and didn't realize it until he saw he could possibly lose her.

Eric kisses Nicole and she tells him he's never acted like this before, but she likes it. Eric apologizes to her for expecting her to be perfect and says nobody is, not even him. He tells her he wants a future with her and she says she does to, but ... Eric says Lucas got to her didn't he? Eric tells Nicole that Lucas is a weasel. Nicole says Lucas is trying to reform, but Eric says Lucas may be the one who killed Franco and framed Sami! Nicole just can't believe Sami's theory, but Eric says his dad won't rest till he puts Lucas behind bars.

Kate is still with Victor and he is speaking. Victor tells Kate to please stay with him. Lucas tells Kate that he can go home and the driver can come back to get her later. Victor tells Lucas to stay away from Sami. Kate says they won't have to worry about Sami much longer because she'll be convicted of Franco's murder, unless she somehow remembers. Lucas tells his mom that he plans to ask Nicole out for New Years eve and he knows he can convince her to drop Eric for him. Victor tells Lucas to go after Nicole if he wants her. Lucas thanks Victor for agreeing with him.

Lucas leaves and Kate tells Victor how she is proud of Lucas and after Sami goes to prison, Lucas will be reunited with Will and nobody will know the truth. Victor adds, "unless Sami remembers." Kate says she doesn't want to talk about Sami again. She tells him how she hopes they will be a family again soon. Kate tells him how pleased she is with the progress he's made. Victor tells her that he's determined to get well for her. Victor tells Kate that he can't stop thinking about the New Years eve they spent together.

On the way home, Lucas calls his lawyer and tells him to file papers to battle Austin for custody of Will. Lucas says he was willing to meet Sami half way, but if she wants a war, she's going to get one. Lucas thinks he's won and says Sami will never have power over him again. He says Sami will get everything she deserves this year and he will get everything he wants. Lucas then starts having fantasies about Nicole. Lucas tells the driver that he wants to start celebrating New years early. Lucas goes to Nicole's place. Inside, Nicole and Eric are kissing and Nicole stops to answer the door. Lucas tells Nicole that he wants to take her out for the evening and promises to make it one to remember.

Roman asks Abe to reopen Franco's murder, but Abe just can't justify reopening the case because of Sami's theory. Abe tells he needs rock hard logic and a list of suspects to reopen the case. Roman tells Abe that is what he was just about to give him. Roman tells Abe his and Sami's theory about Lucas shooting Franco and framing Sami. Still, Abe has questions. Roman says Lucas probably figured nobody would believe Sami anyway, and Abe asks how they can believe her now?

Roman says if Sami was going to lie about this, why did she wait this long? Roman says that he think Kate helped Lucas cover up what happened and they have to reopen the case. Still, Abe says there is no evidence to place Lucas in the room, or even in the house. Roman begs Abe to reopen this case.

Austin is back with Sami and they are talking. Austin is afraid Abe won't reopen the case because this sounds too good to be true. Sami asks Austin if he no longer believes her? Austin says he believes her, but how did the gun get in her hand? Sami says it is simple, Lucas killed Franco and put it in her hand. Sami tells him her theory and Austin can't believe that his mom and Lucas would do this. Sami says they did and her dad is going to start investigating Lucas right now. Roman shows up and Sami ask her dad if Abe reopened the case. Roman says no. Sami is angry and says she'll go force the truth out of Lucas, but Roman says that no she won't. Roman says they have to be smart about this. Roman tells Sami that he has the perfect way to get to Lucas.

Rolf comes to see Stefano, who is pleased with the steps he's taken to keep Bo and Hope distracted until Hope is turned back into Gina. Rolf asks how and Stefano says he's had Shawn D. kidnapped and will hold him ransom for one million dollars. Rolf asks where they are supposed to come up with that money? Stefano says John will give it to them, but it will take time. Rolf thinks this is risky, but Stefano says the kidnappers have no idea that he is the one who hired them.

A man and woman take a gagged Shawn D. to a hotel room and tie him up to the bed. Shawn D. remains cool, which impresses the kidnappers. Shawn D. tells them that his dad will find them and they'll go to jail. The kidnappers call Stefano and he gives them the order as to what to do. He tells them that they will get the full one million dollars IF they hold Shawn D for the amount of time they agreed on.

For her birthday, Bo takes Hope to their new boat to spend the day alone. Hope says she feels like they are starting all over again like when they were first married. Bo shows Hope their wedding picture and Hope remembers when she and Bo first moved into the boat. Hope says she thought it burned up with the boat and Bo said it did, he made a copy of Mrs. H's. Bo hangs it up and tells her there is even room for another wedding photo next to it. Bo gives Hope some presents, one is a brand new bear.

Hope then has another Gina memory, Stefano giving her a very expensive piece of jewelry for her birthday. Bo realizes something is wrong and Hope tells Bo about her memories of Stefano. Hope says they have to get to Count Olenska's castle to find out what Stefano is hiding. Bo says they will, and they'll do it together. Bo puts on their song and dances with Hope. Hope remembers dancing with Bo on the deck of the old Fancyface, Bo kidnapping her from her wedding to Larry, when they first made love, when she and Bo married, their honeymoon, and the birth of Shawn D. Bo tells Hope that he has something very important to ask her, something he's been waiting for the perfect moment to ask her.

The phone rings and Hope asks him to hold that thought. Shawn D is on the phone, and then the kidnapper takes the phone and tells Hope it will cost her 2 million dollars to see her kid again!
