Billie is questioning Kate about what she meant about keeping Bo & Hope apart. Kate says that Billie must've just misunderstood her, but Billie isn't buying it. She questions Kate further and she finally admits that she may have given the Bo/Billie relationship a few "nudges" But that's not good enough for Billie...she keeps on and wants to know why she lied to Bo about Hope & Franco. She says she didn't want Bo to walk out on her again. Billie is touched by her mother's actions, but at the same time upset as well, because once they got back to Salem...Bo rushed to Hope. Kate urges her to use the baby to hold onto Bo now. Billie says she doesn't want Bo out of obligation, but Kate pleads her case. Kate says she just wishes that Hope would give up on Bo and that they have to find a way to get her out of Bo's life for good. Billie is taken aback by this statement, but Kate assures her that she means Hope no physical harm. Kate goes on to talk about Hope's "obsession" with Bo , but Billie politely tells her to butt out...she will handle it all herself.
Bo has given Hope a ride home from the pub. He acts all giddy just being around her. He takes her by the hand and tries to kiss it, but Hope pulls away, smiling at him. Over coffee they talk and you can see that Bo is trying oh-so-hard to get back in her good graces. At the same time, Hope is trying to hold him at arm's length. She comments how easy it would be to fall back into their "old patterns". He tells her that there is no way he will ever give up on her, so there is no use trying. He asks if there is a chance for them and she just looks at him, half smiling. He says he is lost without her and she admits to the same, but what can they do...turn back time? As she brings up the baby, Bo says he will never abandon Billie and the baby and Hope says he is the one true love of her life and cannot share him with another woman. He apologizes for everything he has done to hurt her and tells her about what Kate did and wonders why she told him about Hope and Franco. Hope is curious as well. They talk about this and they give Kate the benefit of the doubt and think that maybe Franco led her to believe that there was more between him and Hope. Bo says his biggest mistake was to believe Kate in the first place. He says he will always love his Fancy Face. He tries to kiss her, but again, she stops him.

Was it an accident or murder? Abe and Roman wonder the same thing while walking around the pool. Roman's gut says it's homicide, but he's waiting for the coroners' report. Abe trusts Roman's "gut". Roman feels that Susan's lying about seeing Kristen. Susan hesitated a second too long when asked if she was there earlier the night before. Roman wonders why Susan was going to leave to go back to England not knowing if Sissy was safe, unless she knew Kristen wasn't a threat. Remember they told her Sissy had been rescued when John called. Commander Abe said, Susan was going back to England as she was afraid Kristen was going to go there and take Elvis, she had tried to kidnap the baby before. Good point Roman said, but why would she think that unless she had talked to Kristen? The lab guys are finished collecting their evidence and Roman wants their report as soon as it's done. Hold the phone. Roman looks down and finds the letter opener on the cement near the pool It was under what looked like a lot of dust for fingerprinting). Gee, Frank the evidence man wonders, how did I miss that last night? Gee, Roman says, it was dark (it's 2 ft. from the lighted pool) and I almost missed it myself if I hadn't of kicked it!

Roman comments there were no noticeable stab wounds on the body, they'll have to wait for the Medical Examiners report. Abe and Roman can't believe they're talking about Kristen. No one deserves to die like that. Roman claims it's the DiMera curse. Abe feels for Stefano as Kristen's dead and Peter's in prison. Roman can't choke up that much emotion about Stefano. He's still trying to figure out who Marlena will choose, John or him. Not knowing enough to go in the warm house, Abe and Roman are still shivering standing around the pool. Abe answers his phone. The lab report is in. Susan's prints are all over the letter opener, she was there last night
John tells Marlena that Susan was smart to leave the baby in England. They wonder why Kristen wasn't at Jen's funeral and Marlena remember Laura was missing from most of the service too. Hmmm. Marlena's happy that Kristen never got her hands on Susan's baby and he's safe in England. Susan comes downstairs to join Marlena and John, still in her robe. They tell her there's no news on Kristen. She tells them she called England, and the baby is fine. She tells Marlena she didn't want to run up the bill and talk too long, Marlena told her no problem. They're glad she has friends in England she can trust. They talk about how Kristen would have been alive if she had accepted Elvis being Susan's baby.

Marlena offers Susan breakfast, but Susan said she's going back upstairs to get some sleep. John promises that Stefano won't get near her baby. Marlena is worried that now that Stefano has lost Kristen and Peter, he's going to fight even harder to get Elvis. He's ruined so many lives. .

Austin tells Sami that she is totally ridiculous, because the only thing he would feel for a man who loved Sami was pity. Sami tries to convince Austin that she is changing for the better, but Austin says he knows the only reason Sami got the job at Titan is that she is blackmailing Kate, and that if she wants to prove she has changed, she should give up her blackmail information.
