Sweating in his penthouse bed, John struggled to sleep through his back pain. After thinking about the drugs hidden in his bedside table, John tried to clear his head with a shower. Unfortunately, John's legs gave out, sending him crashing through the glass shower stall. Kate immediately called Lexie who gave John a once over. Without any injuries besides an aggravation of his back injury, Lexie left him to sleep and pray for Doc's guidance.

Out in the hallway, Lexie tried to comfort a tired Kate. Kate worried about Philip coming home to Belle and Shawn but Lexie told her you can't fight true love. After Lexie left, Kate swore aloud to make Shawn pay for his wedding stunt and for hurting Philip.

Rex brought Mimi home from the hospital to a testy Jan. Frustrated, Mimi sent Rex out to get her prescription so that she could chat with Jan. Once again, Jan gave her the ultimatum to help her with Shawn or else suffer the consequences of spilling all to Rex. Mimi told her it was pointless since Shawn would never go back to Jan, especially once he remembered being locked in a cage all summer. Furious, Jan began to tell Rex about the abortion when he returned from the store.

A shaken Belle struggled with how to break the news to Philip that she was leaving him. Shawn pressured her to stop dragging things out and making things worse for Philip in the long run. Swayed, Belle composed a Dear, John email to Philip explaining that he deserved someone who loved him as much as he loved her. Ready to send the email, Belle's mouse clicking was interrupted by a phone call from Philip's commanding officer, telling her Philip was MIA. Belle fell to the couch, screaming.

In a torture cell, two masked men continued to torment Philip who steadfastly refused to give anything more than name, rank, and serial number. Kicking the interrogation up a notch, the masked men offered to video a goodbye to Philip's mother and wife. Philip took them up on the offer and told his mother and Belle how much he loved them. Philip promised to take his joyful memories of Belle with him to the grave.

Outside Philip's cell, a composed Tony watched as he tapped away on his PDA. A frantic Bart worried that Tony wasn't taking Jack's escape seriously. Tony refused to believe Jack could screw things up because it would mean the Salemites would escape justice yet again. Worst of all, Tony feared John would become a hero again but felt secure that John would succumb to his addiction and take the poisoned medication Stan had dropped off.

At the Deveraux household, a depressed Jennifer talked to her photo of Jack and nearly fainted dead away when she saw his reflection in it. A filthy but happy Jack scooped her up and gently shook her awake for a tearful, kiss filled reunion. Jennifer could hardly believe his tale of woe, but she stopped Jack from calling John, Abe, or Bo because of their various problems. "I know just who to call," Jennifer chirped. One quick call to Alice Horton later, a disbelieving Jack wondered what she was up to. A smiling Jennifer promised that Gran was tight with Agent Specter of the ISA and they would get the word out. More importantly, Jennifer explained she wanted Jack all to herself. The two kissed passionately, alone at last.

Kate is devastated when Shawn and Belle deliver the news that Philip is missing in action. Kate lashes out at them and blames them for Philip volunteering for a dangerous assignment because he wanted to get home to Belle -- he obviously didn't trust leaving Shawn alone with his wife. Shawn defends that Belle has not been unfaithful. John hears the commotion downstairs and although in excruciating pain, resists taking the pills. When John finally gets downstairs, Belle is forced to tell him what happened and the truth about her feelings for Shawn. This is very difficult for Belle because she hates disappointing her father.

Hope arrives and repeats her warning that this could be a DiMera plot. Billie lashes out at Hope again that she doesn't want their daughter to be alive. Lexie commiserates with Hope as Bo and Billie go to get their DNA tested. When Bo and Billie return the tension rises and Billie prays the DNA test will lead Bo and Billie to find their daughter.

Abby is dismayed when Chelsea vows she's going to get a date with Patrick. They sneak out of Chelsea's house and go to the Cheatin' Heart. Chelsea makes herself up to look older and tries but fails to get Patrick's attention; he is wrapped up in a high-stakes poker game with shady characters.
