At DotCom Philip was reshaping his life by working two shifts and accepting a place to live with Lucas. Chloe stopped by trying to mend fences but keeping him at a friends only distance. But she later questioned her decision when seeing Philip give Belle a hug. At the Brady House, Shawn D was visited by Belle who came to comfort him while his Mom & brother were missing. They were interrupted by Rex and Cassie who, without a driver's license, had slammed Tony's car into a tree. Cassie returned to Shawn D's later - without Rex - dressed more in imitation of Belle - and also trying to comfort Shawn D.

Lexie and Brandon argued the possibility of Stefano or Tony's involvement in Hope & Zack's disappearance as they looked for clues. Lexie defended her father & brother, while Brandon saw the possibilities of their working without Lexie being aware. While at the DiMera Mansion, Lexie suffered a fainting spell, and Brandon insisted that she seek immediate medical attention.

Somewhere, in a locked room - Hope revived after unsuccessfully trying to overcome her kidnapper - now revealed as Larry Welch. In discussing their past relationship and marriage, Hope reminded him that kidnapping her would only add to the 20 years he'd already spent in prison for killing Megan. But he assured her that incriminating evidence had already been planted on someone else. Meanwhile, in Salem, Lexie was finding Hope's wallet beneath her car seat, while Abe and Bo arrived on the scene. Abe, suspicious of Lexie, questioned her, as she passed the concealed wallet to Brandon - who himself escaped being questioned until later. Lexie was concerned that someone was setting her up.

Curious about her fate and Welch's motives, Hope asked why Larry would kidnap Zack. He suggested that this child might have been theirs. Telling Hope she now repulsed him, as a "liar" and "destroyer of dreams", he announced, "It's payback time."

Marlena broke the news to John that Cassie and Rex are becoming roommates with Belle and Shawn. John was furious and worried for Belle's safety. Marlena volunteered to go to Tony's to check it out. John agreed, but warned Marlena to be careful.

Nancy phoned Chloe and invited her to the hospital to see the first ultrasound of Nancy's baby. Brady insisted on taking Chloe to the hospital to be with Craig and Nancy. Craig and Nancy were very emotional seeing their baby. Afterward, Craig asked Nancy if there was any other information she was holding back that could help find a bone marrow match for Chloe. Nancy assured Craig that, other than Dr. Sykes, she had never been with any other man but Craig.

Lexie was agitated that Zack was missing. Lexie told Celeste she was sure that Abe still loves her. Celeste suggested that if Lexie had any hope of getting her husband back, she should sever all connections with Brandon. Lexie discovered Hope's travel itinerary in her purse and realized that someone was trying to frame her for Hope's kidnapping.

Billie suggested to Bo that he is barking up the wrong tree suspecting the DiMeras. Finally they agreed to search old arrest records for possible ex-cons who might be seeking revenge on Bo or Hope. Shawn arrived and was suspicious that Billie was helping solve the kidnapping. Bo told Shawn they should accept assistance from anyone willing to help. Later, Bo discovered Billie with Hope's itinerary and questioned her about it.

Billie received a phone call from Larry, summoning her to the pier to meet with him. Larry explained to Billie that if she backed out of her involvement now, she'd never see Bo again.

Hope feared that Larry may have left her and Zack to die. Larry looked through the door and whispered to himself that Hope should cherish the time she has with Zack, because it won't last long.

Marlena arrived at the DiMeras and Tony confirmed that the twins were moving to campus. Tony told Marlena that the judge had approved the arrangement and she should express any concerns to the person that suggested the plan, Belle. The twins stopped by the mansion to get money to go shopping with Belle. They confirmed to Marlena that it was Belle's idea to move into the dorm. When Rex said that "soon they'd be way more than friends," Marlena was visibly concerned. Both Tony and Marlena agreed that the twins should continue their sessions with Marlena. The twins said they were willing to meet with her any time at the mansion, then quickly left for their shopping spree with Belle.

John tracked down Belle, who was shopping at Salem Place with the twins. He was not happy with Belle's new living arrangements. Later, Belle and the twins ran into Shawn. Cassie showed an embarrassed Shawn the sexy lingerie she had just bought. Belle tried to make it clear to the twins that she and Shawn were a couple and that flirting was not appropriate.

When Marlena arrived back at the penthouse, she tried to convince John to accept the twins living at the dorm or risk pushing Belle away. John relented and vowed to help Marlena to become closer than ever to the twins, thereby learning all Tony's secrets. Meanwhile at the mansion, Tony decided that to become more powerful than his father was, he must destroy John Black, by attacking John's "Achilles heel" (Marlena).
