Bo sets up a shelter in the Bayou as a storm rolls into the swamp. Bo wonders what happened to Swamp Girl to force her to hide out in the bayou. Bo begins smearing mud on his face and wonders if Swamp Girl was burned and left the hospital before her surgery was complete because she overheard something about Hope at the hospital, something Stefano didn't want her to know.

Swamp Girl shows up and she and Bo play an odd game of hide-n-seek. Bo ends up falling into the water and Swamp Girl laughs. Bo asks Swamp Girl if she can speak, but she doesn't answer. Swamp Girl walks off and the screams. Bo goes after her and finds her trapped in some quicksand. Bo hands her a tree branch and manages to pull her out. Bo tells her maybe she should go to the river and wash herself up. Bo follows her, hoping she'll wash her face. Bo hides as she washes herself. Bo approaches her, she's at the forked tree (where it meets the river). Bo asks if this is her special place and she nods. Bo tells her about his and Hope's special place, the FancyFace.

Bo tells Swamp Girl about how he believed Hope had died years back and fills her in his problems. He tells her that Hope stayed in a hospital down here recovering from terrible scars. Bo goes on and tells Swamp Girl about how Hope was told she went on and on about the bayou, but Hope knows nothing of this place. Bo says he thinks she was the one in the hospital talking about the bayou, not Hope. Swamp Girl tries to leave, but Bo stops her and tells her that he needs answers that could change both of their lives forever. Bo tells Swamp Girl that he doesn't want to hurt her, he wants to help her. Bo asks her to tell him what she knows about Hope.

John and Hope are on John's jet and are flying to Lugano. Hope tells John while she was waiting for the plane to take off she had a flashback of being Gina. Hope tells John that she saw herself looking into the compact and felt someone watching her, so she turned around. John asks who she saw, but she can't remember. John tells Hope that he wanted to come with her from the beginning, but he didn't want to leave Doc behind. Hope says he should have brought her, but he tells her she wanted to stay behind because of Sami. Hope says she's so happy that he and Marlena have gotten back together, unlike her and Bo. Johntells Hope not to give up on Bo because she can overcome any obstacle that comes up.

Roman is talking to Shane on the phone. Billie approaches Roman and asks when he's leaving. Roman tells her whenever Shane calls back. Billie asks Roman if he doesn't want her to come with him because they made love in Paris. Roman says that when they made love they were hurt, vulnerable, and on the rebound. Billie says "like we are now" and says that is the reason he doesn't want her to come. Roman says this is a dangerous mission and he doesn't want her to get hurt. Roman gets the call from Shane and he tells Billie he has to go. Billie tells Roman that she's going with him. She says she thought this would happen so he brought him something for luck, a St. Christopher medal. Roman hugs Billie and tells her that she's incredible. Billie tells Roman to be careful. Roman leaves and Billie has this Casablanca flashback about saying goodbye to Roman in Paris.

Marlena is in Salem Place and is approached by Stefano. Stefano starts questioning Marlena about John and her wedding date, but she says that is none of his business. Stefano laughs and tells her that she'll always hold a special place in his heart and it's obvious he'll have to work for her forgiveness. Marlena says maybe not, if he answers a question for her, why did he take away John's past. Stefano says John knows his past, he was a priest. Marlena says she knew he wouldn't tell her the truth. He says it is the truth. Marlena then asks Stefano to tell her about Hope's past. Stefano says Hope stayed at Maison Blanche and recovered from her surgeries, but Marlena says she doesn't believe him.

Marlena says perhaps Stefano is that he's the same liar he's always been. Roman shows up and asks what is going on. Stefano says he was just answering and she called him a liar. Roman says that's a good assessment. Stefano warns Roman not to push him and he storms off. Marlena asks Roman to have coffee with her, but he tells her that he took the ISA mission and has to go, but assures her he'll be back to walk Sami down the aisle.

Roman boards the jet and begins to have memories of a Casablanca farewell to Billie. Suddenly, Billie, dressed as a flight attendant, shows up. Roman asks her what she's doing and she says she's here to finish what they started in Paris.

Lucas refuses to go to a rehab clinic. Kate summons Henderson and orders him to remove all the liquor in the house. Lucas says what happened with Will wasn't because of his drinking. Lucas says he wants to have a loving relationship with Will, but he fears that Will will always think Austin is his father and he has Sami to thank for it. He says Sami is the reason he drinks, but Kate says that isn't a reason for him to drink.. Lucas says he has to find a way to stop them from getting married. Kate tells Lucas to calm down before Sami and Will come back. Lucas begins to worry because Sami and Will should have been back earlier.

Sami tells the social worker that she saw Lucas hit Will. Austin can't believe that, but Sami says when Lucas becomes drunk he gets violent. The social worker tells Sami that she is doing the best thing she can by coming forward with this information. Austin tells Sami that these charges are serious and she should be telling the truth. Sami is hurt that Austin doesn't trust her, but he says she can't really blame him. Austin tells Sami that these charges will hurt Will in the long run because he's going to be losing another father. Austin asks her if she's sure Lucas hit Will on purpose. Sami says he did. Will calls Austin daddy and the social worker becomes puzzled. Austin corrects Will and says that Lucas is his daddy. Will is released and the social worker tells Sami that Will is lucky to have a mother like her. Sami says it's been a long day and she better get going, but the social worker says she can't let her go. The social worker says they must know where she's taking Will and she says home. The social worker says she can't let her take Will back to an abusive home. Austin says this isn't right and he tells the social worker that she should get Lucas' side of the story first.

Austin, Sami, Will, and the social worker, Joan Hunt, show up at the Kiriakis mansion. Austin takes Will to another room and Kate suggests they all go into the living room and talk. Lucas asks what is going on and Joan says he's being charged with child endangerment and could face the possibility of ever seeing his son again. In the other room, Austin talks to Will and asks him if his daddy has ever hit him. Will just frowns.

The store owner says that the piece was made by the Swiss silversmith Barton Dejean and each piece is one of a kind. Hope asks to see Dejean, but learns he's been dead for years. The man says all of Dejean's work are in art museums or private collections. He asks Hope how she got it and Hope says it was given to her, so she was told. The man says that is impossible because he knows this comb and the only way they could have it is if they stole it. The man says that he has to report them to the police.

Eric leaves, but runs into Nicole's neighbor and she tells him that Nicole's apartment has been occupied for over a year.

Austin asks Will if Lucas has ever hit him. Will just frowns and Austin realizes that he's really tired. Lucas is outraged that he's been accused of child endangerment. He becomes even more furious when the social worker says that Sami has accused him of beating his son. Kate tells the social worker that Sami is lying, but Sami says "like hell I am!" Lucas starts screaming at Sami to tell the truth and the Sami tells the social worker that this is how it starts off, next he hits. Kate tells the social worker that Sami is a disturbed young woman who lied about the paternity of her child. The social worker says that has nothing to do with this case.

Austin shows up and says he knows what is going on. Austin says that Sami loves her son very much and he knows that Lucas has been drinking around Will. Kate asks if it looks like there is any alcohol in the house and Sami accuses Kate of getting rid of the bar. The social worker asks Lucas if he was drinking earlier and he says yes. Kate says it was just one drink, but Sami says when Lucas drinks he becomes violent and she asks Austin if that isn't true. Austin says Lucas has been drinking and he's seen Sami and Lucas fighting, but not physical. Sami starts recounting how Lucas was arrested for drunk driving and then past out drunk and lost Will. The social worker says that if true, this shows a pattern of neglect. The social worker asks Lucas what happened and he claims that he got dizzy while spinning Will and he slipped out of his hands and bumped his head. The social worker asks if he was alone and he says yes. Sami says he's lying because she was with him and she saw him hit Will. Kate once again tells the social worker that Sami is lying. The social worker says this is a very unhealthy environment for Will to stay in. The social worker then asks Sami for her side of the story. Sami says she saw Lucas, who was drunk, was spinning Will around and it made her very terrified. Sami says Lucas put Will down and took another drink. Sami goes on and says Will wanted to play more and kept asking to play more, but it only made Lucas angry and he hit Will with the back of his hand and Will fell and bumped his head.

Lucas tells Sami that he knows she hates him, but he can't believe she's saying this. Sami says she's not lying and she's told the truth. The social worker asks her if she'd be willing to swear this in court she doesn't actually answer yes, but she says what she said was true. The social worker goes to call her office and Carrie shows up. Carrie learns what is going on and Carrie asks her sister could lie about something like that, but Austin says that he believes Sami. Carrie is angry and says Lucas would never hit Will. Austin says the truth will come out in the end and Lucas tells Sami that her lies always come out in the end. Suddenly, cops show up and the social worker says she's ordering Lucas to be removed from the premises. Lucas refuses and Kate suggests that Lucas cooperate. The social worker says that by the time she's finished her investigation she'll know everything she needs. Lucas leaves and Sami decides to see Will, but the social worker tells Sami that she cannot see Will until the investigation is over as well. As Sami gasps "you can't take Will away from me," Kate smiles. The social worker asks Austin if he could watch Will and Austin and Carrie says they'd love to have Will for awhile. Austin leaves to get Will and Sami tells Carrie that Lucas has to pay for what he's done. Kate tells Sami that she's the one who is going to pay. Austin and Carrie take Will home and the social worker leaves as well. Sami says she'll be going to bed, but Kate slaps Sami, grabs her by the throat, and yells "I'm going to kill you!" Meanwhile, Lucas damns Sami and says he can play dirty.

Meanwhile, Swamp Girl is still remembering being in the hospital and seeing Stefano leaning over her, promising to take care of her. Next she has a vision of seeing Bo hanging upside down from a tree and he's dead. Swamp Girl wakes up suddenly from her nightmares and spreads mud on her face. Swamp Girl then goes over to a mound of dirt and uncovers and opens a box. Later, a storm comes up and it begins to rain. Swamp Girl sees Bo standing in the rain and the mud washes off his face. Swamp Girl takes one look at him and screams "Bo!"
