"Marry Austin," Kate says definitively. Nicole is stunned that Kate wants to get her to the altar with another of her sons. Kate tells her that it's obvious that Nicole is in love with Austin and she explains that Sami is the reason for her request. As Kate continues to try to convince Nicole to marry Austin, Nicole admits that she doesn't think it would be possible. Kate won't take no for an answer and tells Nicole that she'll make all the arrangements. Nicole refuses to play along, but Kate walks away, sure she's had a victory. Nicole sympathizes with Austin and thinks marrying him is not such a bad idea.

Sami and Austin cuddle in bed. Austin says that he has something to confess about something he did behind her back. He admits he talked to Roman about her and Sami is impressed. He then tells Sami that Hawaii won't make him happy, so he's not going to go. This starts a big fight and Sami accuses him of only caring about himself. She refuses to live near his family and she says, "I want to know why you are so dead-set against this move." He admits he doesn't want to leave his job and she accuses him of not wanting to leave Nicole. They argue about Nicole. Austin says that his job with Nicole is his chance to make a career for himself. He volunteers to move across town so they won't be as close to Lucas. Sami begs to move to Hawaii for just six months to try it out. He says he'll think about it. Sami becomes sweet and gets Austin to make her some hot cocoa. When he's out of the room she says, "Once we get to Hawaii, we are never coming back to Salem. Not ever."

Chloe questions her and refuses to leave her friend alone. Belle pretends that it's the situation involving J.T., but Chloe doesn't buy it.
