At Salem Hospital, Shawn continued to push Belle on telling Philip, but a reluctant Belle wanted to concentrate on Mimi's health. When Shawn said, "I know what Mimi would want," a ticked off Belle told Shawn to knock it off and leave her alone about Philip.

A worried doctor pulled Rex aside to talk to him about Mimi's medical history and the abortion, but Bonnie interrupted and cut Rex out of the conversation. Once alone, Bonnie learned of Mimi's pelvic inflammation. Bonnie broke into tears, blaming herself for Mimi's illness. After the doctor left, Belle comforted Bonnie and informed her she knew of the abortion. A near hysterical Bonnie continued to blame herself for pushing a vulnerable Mimi into having the abortion and called herself a monster. Belle insisted Mimi was a strong, independent woman and made the decision herself. Putting her arms around her, Belle told Bonnie no one could make Mimi happier than Rex. Bonnie finally admitted it was true and regretted ever meddling in their relationship.

In the hospital bed, a delirious Mimi continued to dream of the glowing baby boy. Mimi called out to Rex, wanting to tell him about the abortion. Rex went to her as a composed Mimi told him she needed to tell him the whole truth about why she was ill. Rex promised to love her no matter what. Nearby, Bonnie prayed to heal Mimi and promised to never interfere in Mimi and Rex's relationship again.

Belle apologized to Shawn for snapping at him and promised to tell Philip soon. Pleased, Shawn told her that before he only meant to ask her to go to the chapel with him and was not going to ask about Philip.

Down on the pier, Brady tussled with John over his recent drug deal. John tried to tackle Brady but his son knocked him flat with one punch. As Brady bent down to check on him, a police boat pulled up to investigate. When one officer found a syringe nearby, he decided to arrest them both. However, a remarkably quick thinking John tipped off the officer as to his identity and spun a story about how he was doing an undercover drug sting with the ISA. Believing John, the cops let them go.

Back at the Penthouse, Kate's alibi was almost blown when an enraged Brady wondered where the hell Kate and the nurse were while John was sneaking out into the night. Brady fired the nurse and swore to call Judge Kirkpatrick to force John into a rehab program. John fiercely objected.

With Eugenia giving Kate a blow by blow over the phone down the hall at the hotel, Lucas banged loudly on Brandon's hotel room door. At first Lucas did not believe the PI but became suspicious when he heard noises inside the room.

In the room a still groggy Sami and Brandon began to awaken. At first Sami thought Brandon was Lucas but then freaked when she realized she was naked next to Brandon and knocked over a lamp. The noise made Lucas knock harder and an annoyed Brandon answered the door as Sami hid under the covers. Brandon tried to keep Lucas out, but Lucas soon found Sami. A tearful Sami tried to explain that she didn't know what happened last night because she couldn't remember. Lucas said, "You haven't changed!" He explained he was ready to marry her but that, as predicted, she was the only one who could screw it up. And she did.
