At Salem Hospital, Mimi thought about the night Jan had her accident and her subsequent confession to Tek of the particulars of that accident. Jan's monitor started buzzing when Mimi asked her to wake up, but a relieved Mimi learned it was the I.V. warning. Tek entered the room just as Mimi was thanking God Jan was still alive, and he told her not to get too comfortable. An exasperated Mimi told him she wanted Jan to wake up and tell the truth for the first time in her life but that it was more likely this would not end well. Mimi said that either Jan wouldn't wake up or she would and accuse her, so either way, her future looked bleak. Tek warned that blackmail causes desperation in people just as Jan woke up calling out, "Murderer!" Mimi rushed to her side and begged her to tell the truth. When Jan said Mimi attacked her, Mimi insisted she either didn't remember or was lying. Jan continued to say Mimi tried to kill her so Tek took Mimi into the hallway while the nurse checked on Jan. After Tek called into the station to apprise them of the likely upcoming arrest, he advised Mimi to get a good lawyer.

In the desert, Stan approached Shawn, Brady, and Rex, spinning Tony's yarn about being an imbed journalist, held hostage. When Stan said he was chained up with Private Philip Caracas, the group started to think the story was too pat to be believed. Brady sent Rex off to find Lucas so that Lucas could use his good instincts and judge Stan from afar. Stan admitted Philip may have been executed by then, but that he couldn't take them back to the bunker. When Brady reproached Stan as an American for leaving a marine behind, a shaky Stan said he was a coward who had a son to think about. Rex returned, gun pointed and told Brady and Shawn that Stan was a fraud.

At the gas laden trap, Hope reproached Billie for taking advantage of Bo when he thought he was making love to Hope. A defensive Billie claimed that she also had hit her head and was overwhelmed by the gas but Hope wasn't buying it. Hope begged Billie to take responsibility for her actions for once, but Billie continued to insist that Bo accompanied her of his own free will and was trying to save her when he hit his head. A disgusted Hope continued to vilify Billie's behavior, going so far as to say that it proved what she knew all along, "that you're a whore." Billie attempted to smack Hope, but Hope deftly stopped her hand and swore that if she ever tried that again, she would kill her. Patrick tried to cool tempers, and Billie admitted she should have been stronger and resisted. Bo began to rouse from unconsciousness, and vaguely remembered the events of the evening, excluding the sex with Billie. While Patrick helped Bo out to the car, Hope warned Billie that until Georgia was actually found, she better stay away from her family.

After Bo and Hope left, Patrick tried to comfort Billie by saying, unless she realized what was happening, Hope would come around. With a guilty look affixed to her face, Patrick realized Billie knew what she was doing. A tearful Billie exclaimed, "I could have stopped but God help me, I needed him!"

At the Penthouse, Marlena wanted to tell John about making love to Roman in the castle but decided to wait until Roman and Kate returned. Belle stopped by to talk to John and was overwhelmed with joy to reunite with her mother. The two chatted about her situation with Philip and Shawn. Marlena wondered if the fact that she still wore her ring meant she had not decided what she wanted, but Belle explained that she wore it to remind her to be faithful to Philip. Marlena agreed that hurting people was unavoidable in this situation, and Belle continued to reiterate her wish to avoid adultery. A guilty Marlena looked on as John told Belle, "You're your mother's daughter. You make a promise and you do the right thing." When Marlena said people make mistakes, a chirpy Belle said that though she may have cheated on Roman with John, she would never cheat on John now.
