Sami spots them together and quickly tries to flirt with Brandon, inviting him out for a cup of coffee. He's not interested, however and gives Greta a knowing glance.

Rolf and Bart continue to talk about the "what ifs" where Hattie is concerned. Bart worries the trail leads back to him, but since he was in a blond wig and panty hose, cannot be fingered. (Referring to when they dumped Marlo's body in the lake) But Rolf is not too concerned, as he claims that if Hattie blabs, in spite of his attraction to her, he would kill her.

Roman and Bo have the tape recorder out for Hattie's tale. She now says she was mistaken about the body, that it WAS just a leftover Halloween prop. She knows this to be true, cause it did not stink. And, since she is so good at smells, she would have noticed if it did. Bo and Roman try to change her mind, but she remains adamant. Glen and Barb start to leave, but not before Glen says he still plans for a DNA test, and if comes out positive, he is not leaving Salem. As Bo and Roman leave, they tell Hattie she can go home anytime, they dismiss the guard outside, and as they walk down the hall, comment on how they have nothing on Stefano now, (Rolf is hiding around the corner, listening). Glen and Barb are waiting for them, as Glen wants police protection for the next DNA tests. Roman agrees and tells them to check into the Salem Inn, charge it to the police dept, make the arrangements with the lab, and the police will make sure it goes well. Bo then tells Roman the only way they can nail Stefano is for him to go to Ireland and get the goods on him. He says he has to protect his sons and family.

Meanwhile, Rolf gleefully says he can now tell Stefano it is safe to return to Salem. He knocks on Hattie's door, pretending to have lost his watch earlier. She seems happy to see him They both sort of look around , He gets sort of starry eyed, and asks her to dinner sometime. She tells him to "phone her sometime. You know how to phone, don't you....just pick up the phone and ...dial" She blows him a kiss and he leaves.

Kevin is talking to Susan, (now being played by Jennifer Gee), trying to convince her to go to the dance, asking her to help him with the video display and equipment. He says he got a really cool outfit from a 2nd hand 50's store and she confesses she has no dress. He takes her inside, and with a few clicks of the computer, finds a dress, (she types in the size while he looks away and it will be delivered tomorrow morning, in time for the dance tomorrow.

Jan comes over, wanting to talk to "nerdboy," and Susan immediately looks down. Jan pulls him away, asking all about the video equipment, the stuff he is going to show, his slide presentation. Kevin thinks she's asking too many questions, and mentions the chem lab thing he did for her. Jan tells him to keep his mouth shut about that, and when he asks what's in it for him, she whispers in his ear. Meanwhile Susan bumps into Mimi, who chastises her for "not leaving space for anyone else."

Kevin returns to Susan, and they talk about the name calling, etc. Kevin has an idea on how all the outcasts can "get their school back", and says he knows it will work, asks Susan to help. Jan is putting down Mimi's friendship w/Belle, and tells her about Shawn asking Belle to the dance, and everyone knows but her. Meems asks Kevin who confirms, and she angrily calls Belle. She won't accept any of Belle's reasons, gets ticked at hearing Chloe is there, and hangs up on her. Jan shows her some slides she has (no wonder she was asking about the video equipment) and Mimi whistles. They grin about the revenge against Chloe coming up.

Belle and Chloe return from shopping. Belle's is nervous about her date.....they talk of Chloe not buying the silver dress, but Chloe says she wants to wait til the last minute. They look up to see Brady staring down at them. (Earlier he was pumping iron, and had a flashback of his conversation with Chloe). He comes down, just as Belle gets the phone call from Mimi, and goes out on the balcony to talk. Brady and Chloe talk about Philip, as he tries to discourage her from continuing to date Philip. He tells her Phil is taking their relationship much too seriously, and as they talk, he seems to be getting more disturbed about Chloe's defense, as does Chloe. Belle comes in from balcony, upset, tells them about Mimi. Brady realizes Shawn asked Belle to the dance, they all talk about chances of a repeat of the chicken blood incident, but Belle says Phil and Chloe are a couple now, and everyone is comfortable with that, there will be no repeat. Brady flashes back to overhearing Jan and Mimi talking about their plot against Chloe, and knows things are not going to run so smoothly.

Lexie is continuing to pressure John about being the father of Hope's baby. John is astounded that Hope told Lexie that Bo was not the baby's father. He is having a hard time, tho, and asks her "Just what does me being the father of Hope's baby have anything to do with you and your son?" Lexie babbles on about caring about them all, etc. etc. John says that now one more knows the truth.... and the more that know, all will having a way of coming out. He leaves.... murmuring to himself that something is just not right.

Switch to a brief scene at a lab....a computer screen shows a DNA match, one technician tells another they got a match. They talk of the blond who brought the sample in....and pick up the file. It says Glen Reiber...paternity test. Back to Lexie who, with a determined look on her face, is muttering to herself that before friends or anyone else, her son comes first. No one will ever take him away, no one, no matter what she has to do to achieve that.
