Outside Alice's restaurant, Brady waited on the porch while a cloaked and bandaged Chloe lurked nearby trying to work up the nerve to reveal herself. Judge Fitzpatrick stopped by to talk to Brady about Philip and she told Brady that Philip had a leg amputated. Upon hearing the news, Chloe gasped. Although Brady heard her, he did not find her. Finally, Chloe stepped out from behind the bushes to reveal herself, but Brady was already headed back inside the restaurant. Figuring the time was not right, Chloe returned to the clinic.

Back at the clinic, Craig comforted Chloe who filled him in her evening and Brady's discovery that she was alive. Confused, Chloe cried in her father's arms.

Inside Alice's restaurant, Nicole sat at the bar contemplating whether Sami was Stan based on a tip from Tony that Stan was in the restaurant without his disguise. An edgy Sami squirmed under Nicole's gaze, but Lucas told her not to worry that Nicole hated her because everyone in Salem did. Lucas played off Nicole's stares to her impending loss of Brady. Nicole sauntered over to the table and said that if Lucas did not hate her, he would when he heard what she did now. Nicole gave Sami a good once over and pegged her as a perfect match for Stan. Lucas took Nicole aside but she continued to push and asked Sami how she got to be in the war zone. Not buying the hostage story, Nicole and Sami started to tussle but Lucas pried them apart. When Lucas commented that Nicole should let Brady be happy with Chloe if she were alive, Nicole stormed off commenting that Lucas deserved to end up with Sami.

After Lucas left, Nicole walked up behind Sami and asked, "Stan?" Foolishly, Sami turned around. With her suspicions confirmed, Nicole promised Sami that she couldn't wait to tell everybody that she was Stan.

Outside Alice's, Brady and Lucas discussed Philip's condition. When Lucas asked about Chloe, Brady chalked it up to wishful thinking and told Lucas he was beginning to doubt that Chloe really was alive.

At the loft, a hugging Belle and Philip were interrupted by a fuming Kate who screamed at Belle for betraying her wounded husband and that she couldn't believe Belle turned out worse than Sami. Belle protested to the innocence of the situation, but Kate had already worked up a head of steam. When Kate said she couldn't understand how Belle could love one man and still have feelings for another, Marlena entered the loft and pointed out Kate's engagement to John when she still loved Roman. An annoyed Kate argued that the situations were totally different because Roman and Marlena were believed to be dead. John then entered the fray and tried to calm everyone, but with a declaration that Belle was only going to Germany out of guilt, Kate flounced out of the room, with John in pursuit. Belle tried to tell Marlena that nothing was happening, but Marlena pointed out that she needed to proceed cautiously with Philip because he had already lost so much. Frustrated, Belle told Marlena, "everyone seems to forget that I still love Philip."

Outside the loft, John tried to calm down Kate who apologized for her behavior. Kate agreed with John that Belle was also having a hard time but that she lost control when she saw them hugging. The two agreed that love was contemplated, but John refused to get involved because their kids were adults and should lead their own lives. After John returned to the loft, a disagreeing Kate called Judge Fitzpatrick and offered her a job as the head of legal affairs at Basic Black if she would docket Shawn's criminal case as soon as possible. The judge resisted but once Kate told her about Shawn's meddling in Philip's life, the judge agreed to help her.

When John returned to the loft, he tried to explain to Marlena why he didn't trust Shawn. A tired Marlena stopped him and told him she knew what Shawn was like because she had a video feed of certain instances thanks to Tony. John was taken aback by the revelation, but Marlena changed the subject by asking John if he wanted to see his daughter in a loveless marriage. John said no, but that a part of Belle still loved Philip.

Off in the corner of the loft, Shawn returned with Belle's last suitcase and offered to accompany her to Germany. A firm Belle said now way, because Kate was desperate and Shawn's presence would just antagonize her. An oblivious Shawn told her not to worry about Kate because he could take care of himself.

Back in their apartment, Rex yearned to spend the evening with his girl, Mimi. Nervous, Mimi kept blaming her fidgeting on worrying about Philip, Shawn, and Belle but when Rex started to talk about their future, Mimi yelled "Stop!" and stormed up to the roof. On the roof, Mimi called her mother and told her she had to tell Rex everything. Just then, Rex appeared on the roof to find out what was wrong. When Rex started to talk about a small civil ceremony instead, Mimi lost it and told him she couldn't marry him anywhere because she was going to jail.

On the roof, Mimi is ready to tell Rex why she is going to jail. Bonnie, downstairs in Mimi's loft, sees the wine glass and wonders if Mimi told Rex the truth, he left her, and then Mimi jumped off the fire escape to her death. Bonnie says that it would be all her fault. Patrick appears in Mimi's doorway, and tells Bonnie that she's right. They both go up to the roof where they find Rex and Mimi. Mimi has just told Rex that she is going to jail for attempted murder. Bonnie pulls Mimi aside to talk to her, as Rex asks Patrick what is going on. Patrick advises that he better let Mimi tell him everything he needs to know. Bonnie asks Mimi if she's really prepared to tell Rex that she got rid of his baby. Mimi replies that all the secrets are going to come out tonight. She then tells Rex that she is going to jail for trying to kill Jan Spears, and she tells him how the events unfolded. Rex says that they will fight this thing and asked why Mickey didn't try to help. Bonnie says that Mickey was involved in the case but no one could talk Mimi out of pleading guilty. Mimi says that's the way it has to be and that since she is going to jail, that she and Rex are through.

At the Deverauxes', Jenn, Abby and Chelsea are all getting the cake ready for Jack's birthday celebration. Bo and Hope enter and Jennifer invites them to join in on Jack's birthday plans. They fill Jennifer in on Philip's condition and tell her that Belle has gone to be with Philip during his ordeal. Billie then enters the kitchen and agrees that that is exactly where Belle should be - by Philip's side. Abby has the cake ready to go and is standing by the kitchen door when Jack comes through the door, knocking the cake from Abby's hands onto the floor. Jack jokes and says that he'll even eat the cake off the floor. Bo's cell phone rings, and he excuses himself to take the call. Hope approaches Billie and expresses her concern for Philip. Meanwhile, Jenn, Jack, and Abby are all making another cake. Chelsea, feeling out of place in the family scene, heads outside. Billie and Hope discuss Philip's situation further in the living room. Hope believes that Belle being there for Philip may only make matters worse. Billie thinks that Belle will choose Philip because he is a war hero. Bo returns from his phone call and tries to make peace. Billie says that Hope is a hypocrite for believing that Billie is always trying to break up her marriage, when she is encouraging Shawn to do the same thing. Something catches Billie's eye and she excuses herself to go outside. She catches Chelsea about to light a cigarette. Billie chastises her and then goes on to admit about her smoking at a young age too. Chelsea reiterates the fact that Billie is not her mom, and that she needs to butt out (no pun intended). Billie returns to the kitchen, where the cake is done and the candles are lit. Jack wishes for Philip to return safely and they all blow out the candles.

Meanwhile at the Penthouse, Belle, John and Kate are preparing to leave. Kate and Belle attempt to call a truce, and they embrace. John and Kate say goodbye to Marlena and Roman, respectively, and gather their things. Belle is outside in the hallway saying goodbye to Shawn and giving him a hug. Belle, Kate and John leave for the plane. Roman leaves to make a phone call, and Marlena and Shawn have some time to talk. Marlena empathizes with him and states that she knows the pain he is going through. Shawn admits to her that he is terrified of losing Belle to Philip. Shawn's phone rings and he excuses himself to answer it. Belle is on the other end, calling from the plane. She wanted to tell Shawn that she loves him, and that they will be together when this is all over. Inside the penthouse, Roman steadies Marlena as she experiences a dizzy spell. She claims that she's fine, and Roman leaves. As Marlena begins to stand up again, she drops her water bottle and clutches her stomach. What is wrong with Marlena?

Meanwhile on the plane, Belle has fallen asleep and is having a variety of dreams about her past with both Shawn and Philip. After a dream about the war zone, she calls out Philip's name. John tells Kate that Belle is very confused and she is going to have to make some hard decisions later. Belle dreams about a romantic embrace with Shawn, but Shawn then turns into Philip. Belle wonders out loud, "Why am I kissing Philip?" Kate overhears this and a smug grin appears on her face.

Belle is by Philip's side and tells him it could have been a lot worse but Philip is upset to have lost his leg. Philip continues to thank Belle for being there but insists on not being a burden on her to which she replies that he could never be a burden and that "he is her husband and she is his wife and that they can get through this together." Philip tells Belle that knowing that she was at home waiting for him is what got him through everything. Col. Cochman comes by and visits Philip to tell him that he is a hero for all that he has done, thanks him, and gives him a file for Philip to look through with options to look over. When the Col. leaves, Belle tells Philip that she has a surprise for him. Belle gives Philip a portable D.V.D player with a DVD made by Rex.

Belle tries to make Philip feel better by telling him that he is strong and will make it through this but Philip is still upset. The doctor has to give Philip a sedative to calm him down. The doctor explains to Belle that Philip's reaction to seeing the D.V.D was normal and tells her that there is something that she could do to help. Belle says that she will do anything to help Philip. He tells her that what Philip needs is to know that she loves him and the loss of the limb does not change her feelings toward him. She tells the doctor that she will stick by Philip.

The cornel stops and sees Kate and tells her that Philip will need a lot of support from his loved ones and gives her his card if there is anything that Philip or the family need in the meantime. John later tells Kate that he plans on asking Marlena to renew their vows.

When Nicole proposes that Sami works together with her, Sami tells her that she cannot trust her. Nicole continues to tell Sami that they need to keep each other's secrets and to protect each other and tries to get Sami to shake on the deal. But before they can, both Lucas and Brady come out on the terrace and are suspicious of why the two women are together and ask what they were talking about. Sami covers and says that she was desperate and was asking Nicole for a job. Nicole plays it off and tells Sami that she already told her before the guys got there that she would not give her a job. Sami accidentally mispronounces Kiriakis and Brady is suspicious because Stan mispronounced it the same exact way. Sami explains that she must have picked it up from Stan when she was a prisoner of Tony's. Lucas takes Sami to talk alone. Lucas asks Sami what is going on between her and Nicole. He lets her know that he does not believe that she was asking Nicole for a job but Sami tries to stick to that story. She tells Lucas that she is desperate because she has not had a paycheck in a long time blaming being fired by Kate and being held prisoner.

Marlena calls the lab thinking it must be a mistake and asks them to rerun the test explaining that it is a delicate situation requiring her to be clear about the results and they agree to rerun the pregnancy test but they say they are sure to have the same result. Marlena is at a lost of what she will due if she is really pregnant. Roman drops in and notices that she is upset and questions her on it and she responds that she received some test results that she was not expecting. Roman explains that the reason that he is there is that he was looking for information on Caroline and Victor and found evidence of a witness who saw an older couple walking toward the village after the explosion. Roman believes it may have been Victor and Caroline and that Tony may have gotten to them first. Roman gets a call from the station and has to take down information and writes it down on the back of Marlena's test results. After he gets off the phone Roman notices that the paper is pregnancy test results. Roman asks about the pregnancy and Marlena lets Roman think that results are from a patient. The conversation goes back to Victor and Caroline and Roman tells Marlena that she could be the key to finding them. He questions her about maybe remembering anything that Tony or Bart may have said about another secret place. They kick around the idea and Roman decides to go talk to Lexie. Before he leaves Marlena asks about the possibly of Patrick knowing anything and Roman decides to talk to him. As Marlena and Roman are about the have some tea, John calls. He tells her of all that is going on and apologizes for his behavior before he left. Roman yells as he spills tea and John realizes Roman is there with Marlena.

Roman is later called back to the station giving Marlena more time alone to wonder what to do if she is indeed pregnant. Marlena gets the call back from the lab confirming the first result. Marlena is upset as she says "Oh my gosh, I'm pregnant with Roman's child."
