Chloe visited Lucas and brought him snacks and magazines. Lucas teased her for bringing a woman's magazine. She said she planned to help him get back on his feet; he thanked her. Maggie came in and overheard and asked what Sami would think about that. Lucas told her that Sami knew. Chloe left. Lucas revealed to Maggie that he and Sami were on a break. She asked why. "It's exhausting trying to love Sami all the time," he explained. Maggie admitted that she heard about Chloe and Lucas's elevator tryst at the Salem Inn. “I hate this town... Nothing's a secret,” he groused, then added that being with Chloe made him think about the kind of woman he wanted to be with. "I finally realize what it's like to be in a real relationship," he said. Maggie suggested Lucas go to the Horton cabin for some R&R before making any life changing decisions and assured him that he'll be alright. Then, she asked him to rethink his feelings for Sami, noting how much he already has invested in his life with her. Chloe returned; Lucas told her he was headed into nature.

Nicole admitted to EJ that Trent forced her to stop seeing him. He said he knew Trent was bad news. EJ asked why Trent had such control over her. She explained that that had always been the dynamic in their marriage. EJ thanked her for telling him the truth, then asked where they would be if Trent wasn't in the picture. She said she would love to make things work, but she was fearful of her husband. EJ assured her they would come up with a solution and asked if there were any skeletons in Trent's closet. She revealed that Max is Trent's biological son, explaining that Max's mom died when he was really young so Trent put him up for adoption. Then she told EJ that Max is in France. EJ said he would use the information to help her bring down Trent, not as her lawyer but as her friend. She was amazed that he was being so nice to her. He advised her to get used to it.

At the station, Roman and Hope went over the anonymous e-mail that the cops received about a cover up in the Hollingsworth case. Hope decided to get the e-mail traced so they could find out where it came from. They learned it was originally sent from the Java Café but passed through the Kiriakis mansion I.P. address before it got to the station. Hope said it smelled like a setup; Roman concluded that John was involved and that he's in way over his head. Hope headed to Java and talked to Evan, the barista. He offered to give her their security footage so she could see who was using their laptop in the Caf´. Doug joined Hope and they caught up. She asked him if he would break the law to protect a family member, assuring him that she's not in trouble and that it's for a case she's working on so she can't disclose the details. Doug said it would depend on the circumstances, then reminded her of his con artist past. "It was a dark time in my life, honey, and I'm not proud of it," he told her, but added that yes, he would break the law to protect his family but noted that there's hell to pay either way. After, Hope checked out the security footage and spied Ava on it. She called Roman, who decided to put a tail on Ms. Vitali. Hope, meanwhile, made plans to catch up with Bo.

Bo visited Philip at the hospital and told him about the anonymous e-mail. Philip told Bo about the note he received that said, "I know your secret." Bo remarked that it sounded like a setup and that someone was targeting them. It's John, Philip replied. Bo noted that Philip is his brother and that he's through pretending that having Kiriakis blood doesn't mean anything to him. Bo promised that he would do anything to protect Philip, but he's now put his career and both of his families — Victor, Philip and Hope, Ciara — at risk. Philip thanked him and apologized for putting him in that position, but assured Bo that he had his back. Bo left; Morgan arrived. Philip promised to help find her father, then confessed that he heard everything she said to him when he was in his coma. She was embarrassed that he heard her declaration of love. He said it was wonderful and that had something to say to her, too. He whispered in her ear. She responded by giving him a hot kiss.

Hope went home; Bo was there. Hope checked the mail and told him they received a postcard from Shawn and Belle. He told her that he visited Philip in the hospital. She filled him in about Ava and the e-mail. "Where there's Ava, there's John," Bo said. Hope asked him point-blank if he had anything to do with the cover up. "I wanted to keep you out of this for your own good. But yeah, I tampered with evidence to protect my brother Philip," he confessed. "Oh, my God, Brady. What have you done?" she asked.
