A weak Maggie roused and Victor told her he loves her...and then she passed out! Nearby, Brady held on to Vivian and called 911. A cop detained Vivian as the paramedics wheeled off Maggie. Brady warned Vivian that if Maggie didn't make it, she'd be facing murder charges. At the hospital, Jennifer asked Dr. Walters for news about the virus, and he apologized for cutting her off earlier. Mid-conversation, Maggie was brought in. Jennifer freaked and questioned Victor about what had happened. Then, Dr. Walters let her go see her aunt. At the police station, Brady told the cop what had happened. Vivian demanded he tell the whole story. When the detective stepped outside, Brady asked Viv not to drag Victor, Kate, Philip and Nicole into this. Vivian said if she was taking the rap, everybody would go down with her. "I want my sweet, sweet revenge!" she insisted. But she told Brady she wouldn't retaliate if he retracted his statement. Sure enough, when the cop came back, Brady refused to sign the form. At the hospital, Victor visited Maggie, who asked him point blank if he put Vivian in the sarcophagus. Victor explained how Vivian had planned to entomb her. "I was just giving her a taste of her own medicine!" he said. Maggie said he should've gone to the authorities instead of tormenting Vivian. He said he hadn't enjoyed it, but Maggie could see in his eyes that he was lying. Victor wouldn't apologize for protecting her and said he'd meant it when he said "what I said." A tearful Maggie knew he'd meant it, but asked him to walk out and never come back. He respected her wishes, and she broke down.

At the prison infirmary, Hope was instructed to take down the info of a
prisoner named Pam. Her spidey senses tingled when Pam said she has no
family and she immediately warned her not to sign a consent form or get
treatment there. Pam then asked to be examined at University Hospital.
Warden Jane and Lee nixed that and cited the Loma virus outbreak as the
reason. Hope instantly worried about Nathan. She was thankful when Jane
found out what was going on and updated her. Later, Hope noted that Pam's records stated she was to be cremated if she died and she grew even more concerned. Pam had been sedated, so Hope sprang into action, making a call to Jennifer for help. Warden Jane walked in, revoked her privileges and ordered her to solitary confinement.

In the garden, Rafe and Sami exchanged rings and then Rafe surprised Sami with a gift: an ornament for the Christmas tree! At Chez DiMera, EJ got a call about the wedding and went ballistic, throwing a glass. Nicole wondered if he was jealous. He said he was offended that she was putting Johnny and Sydney through a "farce." Nicole tried to calm him down, reminding him that he won. EJ decided that being stuck with Rafe was fitting punishment for Sami. Back at the wedding, Rafe surprised Sami and the kids with a tradition involving the binding of several cords that would unite them all and God. The minister then pronounced them husband and wife! Afterwards, Sami hoped a miracle would occur and they wouldn't have to give up the kids. On cue, EJ and Nicole arrived. EJ wanted Sami to surrender the kids, noting he'd given her plenty of time to say her goodbyes but she'd made the wrong decision. "You never put your children first," EJ accused, saying he was taking his kids from their "narcissistic" and "promiscuous" mom "right now." EJ told Johnny that he and Sydney were coming to live in "the big house." When he instructed Nicole to take a sleeping Sydney, a teary Sami handed the child over. Then, Sami marshaled her emotions to explain to Johnny why he was going to Daddy's house now. After EJ and Nicole left, Sami collapsed into
Rafe's arms, sobbing.
