Lexie says she will know later this morning if she is pregnant or not. Lexie decides to leave to check on a patient, but Brandon stops her to thank her for bailing her out. Lexie says she did it for Rachel, but Brandon asks if that is the only reason? Brandon wonders if she thought Abe shouldn't have arrested him. Abe shows up and says he'd like the answer to that question too. Lexie says that she wouldn't say he was wrong, but he did overreact. Abe is furious and says that Brandon needs help. Brandon starts arguing with Abe, and the two almost come to blows. Lexie stops them and tells Abe that she had to bail Brandon out and tells him to listen to why she did it.

Abe tells her that she can't justify sneaking behind his back, and he doesn't want to hear it. Abe walks out, and Brandon asks Lexie how she could let him treat her that way? How could she stay married to someone like that? Lexie tells Brandon that Abe is a wonderful man, but he is angry that she defied him. Brandon doesn't understand why Abe feels that their friendship is a threat to him, and why he has it in for him? Lexie tells Brandon that he doesn't have it in for him, but he does think something is wrong with him. Lexie tells him that he admitted he snapped, and she asks who he thought he was hitting in the ring? Before Brandon can answer, Lexie is called away by a nurse about her test results.

Brandon is with Lexie when she gets the results of her pregnancy test, she's not pregnant. Brandon tells Lexie that this might not be the best time for her and her husband to have a kid anyways.

Carrie looks into Austin's room and sees Sami with him. Kate shows up and is angry that Sami is visiting Austin. She tells Carrie to stop this, but Carrie says that Austin chose Sami, and they have to live with it. Lucas shows up and both Kate and Lucas agree that Sami hasn't changed, and she isn't what is best for Austin. Carrie says that there is nothing they can do about it, but Kate thinks otherwise.

Austin tells Sami that he wanted to see her, not Carrie. Austin tells Sami about his dream, and how her testimony convinced the judge that he should live. He tells Sami that she reached him and brought him back. Sami didn't think she got through to him, but he says that she did. He also tells Sami that the judge told him that he had to chose who he wanted to be with when he got back, and he chose her. Sami begins to cry. She tells Austin that she will help him with his recovery. She also starts talking about how she hurt him by trying to make him love her, but Austin says that is the past and she has changed.

At the nursing home, the nurse and "Dr. Sue Lee" are arguing about whether she can see Victor. Nicholas shows up and tells the nurse that it is okay for Dr. Lee to see Victor. The nurse says she still needs Dr. Bryce's permission, so she leaves to get him. Vivian manages to fool Nicholas, and lets him in on her scheme. Nicholas asks his aunt what she is up to now? Vivian says that she is hoping to find out the truth about Victor's condition. Nicholas goes in to see Victor. He tells VIctor that Vivian's doctor is here, but Vivian is still in Europe. Nicholas tells Victor that this healer is special, she only takes on one patient at a time and won't give up until he or she is well again. He also asks Victor to be discreet, it would be for the best if he didn't tell Kate that Vivian arranged this. Victor says that he doesn't like keeping things from Kate, but he sees his point and will not tell her.

Meanwhile, "Dr. Sue Lee" meets with Dr. Bryce. She says she'll need to see Victor's records if she is to begin helping him. Dr. Bryce says he can't do that until he sees her credentials. Dr. Sue Lee tells him that she is trained in holistic medication and is at the top of her field. When she tells him about her wonderful results, Dr. Bryce asks if she has any documentation? Dr. Sue Lee says she doesn't yet, but she will be on Dateline soon. Dr. Bryce calls her a quack and refuses to allow her to take advantage of Victor Kiriakis. Dr. Sue Lee tells him that people who are in pain should be allowed to seek any possible treatment that they can. Dr. Bryce says "not if it interferes with my treatment!" Dr. Lee tells him that her treatment won't interfere with his, and then accuses him of being afraid that her treatment will work better than his.

Dr. Lee and Dr. Bryce go in to see Victor. Dr. Bryce says that he tried to tell Dr. Lee to leave, but she refused. Victor says it is okay, he would like to give her methods a try. When Dr. Bryce tells Dr. Lee that Victor needs his rest, Dr. Lee says she would like to stay with Victor and feel his aura. Dr. Bryce and Nicholas leave, and Dr. Lee tells Victor that she will not give up until he is as strong and robust as he once was. Victor jokes and asks if he'll be able to leap tall buildings in a single bound? Dr. Lee laughs and tells Victor to rest. Victor ends up falling asleep, and Vivian gets a call from Nicholas. Nicholas tells her that Kate has gone to the hospital to spend time with Austin, so she is in the clear. Vivian looks at Victor and says she longs to lie beside him again. She figures "what the hell" and jumps into bed with him. Outside his room, Kate shows up to see Victor, but a nurse tells her that he is sleeping. Kate says she won't disturb him.

Gina spies on John and Marlena. John realizes something is wrong with Marlena. Marlena tells him that she is unhappy because their friends, Bo and Hope, aren't as happy as they are. John tells her that they are headed in the right direction. Marlena says that Hope should be thrilled to be back, but she's not. Marlena tells John that Hope is angry and bitter. John doesn't have any doubt in his mind that Hope will move on with her life. Marlena says he knows a lot about that, and John laughs that he could write a book. He tells her that the more he forgets his past, the happier he is. He says his life with Gina is dead and buried, his life is with her now.

Gina, who is around the corner, wonders what has happened to John, he is not the man she knew. Her reflection begins taunting Gina about Marlena. She tells Gina that Marlena will be crushed when John walks out of her life and returns to her. Gina eventually leaves and runs into a bathroom. She sees Princess Gina in the mirror laughing at her. She splashes some cold water on her face, and then looks in the mirror again. She sees herself as an old hag and she says that John couldn't love her if she looked like this. She pulls some scissors out of her purse and begins to cut her hair. Greta walks in and asks "Hope" what she is doing? Gina reaches out to Greta and gives her a big hug. She tells her that she has missed her so much, and asks Greta if she missed her as well? As they are hugging, a worried expression overcomes Greta's face. Greta asks what this is all about? Gina says that she just likes having her close to her. Greta becomes upset and runs out of the bathroom. Gina looks in the mirror and sees the old hag looking back at her. She tells Gina that Greta doesn't love her anymore than John does! Gina puts her hair up and tucks it inside her hat.

Greta storms through Salem Place and runs into John and Marlena. Greta tells John and Marlena about her encounter with "Hope" in the bathroom and how it was almost like she was Gina again.

When they share a group hug, Gina comes out of the bathroom and is shocked to see Marlena with her man and daughter. John leaves Marlena and Greta in order to refill his coffee and get them some tea.

Still, Sami says he is on the rebound, and maybe she shouldn't be here for him. Austin tells Sami that their kiss isn't something that won't last. Sami jumps into Austin's arms and hugs him. Austin tells her that this thing between them is right, but they should take it slow. He tells her that he couldn't live with himself if he hurt her the way that Carrie hurt him.

Carrie tells Lucas that she might not deserve Austin, but he deserves someone a lot better than Sami. When Lucas asks if this means she's going to take Sami on, Carrie tells him "Let's do it!" Lucas tells Carrie that she's going to have to lie to Austin to beat Sami, but Carrie says she can't lie good. Lucas says that plan B is for her to tell Austin the truth about how she feels about him. Carrie tells Lucas that he's crazy, she can't do that because it hurts too much. Lucas tells her if she keeps quiet or cry about it, she will just be handing Austin to Sami on a silver platter. Lucas tells Carrie that if she doesn't do this, she will regret it.
