Rafe had bad dreams about Sami. At the convent, Sami (a.k.a. Colleen) visited with Sister Theresa. She cried that everything was wrong and that she was afraid of the father of her baby. Sami was being evasive and the nun realized she just had to trust her. She gave Sami a cell phone, with her phone number already programmed in it. Sami hugged her and took off.

On the pier, the mayor's killer approached Hilda, demanding to know where Sami was. He got the upper hand with her and took her gun. Hilda played dumb. He pulled a knife on her and threatened to harm her family. She agreed to cooperate as long as he kept her family safe. Turned out, Hilda gave bad info about the safe house. The assassin then killed her and vowed to find Sami. Sami returned to the safe house and woke up Rafe. He thought he could trust her now that she hadn't sneaked out.

Stephanie arrived at the Kiriakis mansion for the engagement party. She and Philip kissed as Max walked in. Awkward! Max excused himself; Philip suggested to Steph that she should just act like it never happened. Kate and Chelsea waited for Lucas and Chloe to come down. In a room upstairs, Chloe was getting passionate with Daniel. Lucas arrived at the room and jiggled the handle to find the door was locked. He called out to his fiancée, but she said she wasn't ready. He asked why the door was locked and what she had been doing all that time. Daniel and Chloe quickly got dressed, though Daniel urged Chloe to just come clean with Lucas. She ended up lying that she got into it with her mother and her makeup was all ruined. She asked Lucas to go downstairs. Back inside the room, Daniel implored Chloe to be truthful. She told him she hated him and walked into the bathroom. "It's too bad you don't," he said to himself. She came back out and they argued. She hurried out, looked in the mirror and called herself a slut.

In the living room of the K manse, Max and Chelsea talked about what had happened on New Year's Eve. He admitted that he liked being with her, but didn't do well with complexity and that it would be good if they could hang out and just "shut up about it." She thought it was a good idea. Kate came in, noting that Daniel, Chloe and Lucas were all missing and she felt like she was in a detective story. After, Chelsea told Max that Daniel and Kate were through. Max asked her if she wanted Daniel back. "No, that's gross. I might share recipes with the woman..." she laughed. "I think you're a class act," Max told her. She thanked him and they decided to ditch the bash and head out. Before they could, Steph and Philip entered and the four engaged in some chit-chat. Chelsea noted that Steph had her bag; Steph pointed out that Chelsea was wearing her earrings. Steph asked Max and Philip talked about 'da Bears and fantasy football. While they were busy on the laptop, Steph asked Chelsea what was going on with Max. Chelsea confessed that she didn't know yet. Kate came in and told them to get off the computer. Philip asked where Chloe was. Lucas said she was still upstairs.

At the hospital, EJ spied Stefano and asked him to leave since Lexie didn't want him there. The Phoenix wouldn't go and suggested EJ stop giving orders and take them instead. He told his son to do a report on the Pacific Rim.

Nicole came downstairs at the mansion, looking for EJ, but found Tony. She said she wasn't expecting to see him there. "I've been sort of relegated to the shadows lately," Tony explained, then reported that EJ was with Stefano on a business matter. "This is only the beginning," Tony smirked. He then mentioned the incident with Theo, which Nicole knew nothing about. "This is worse that I thought," Tony pointed out. He remarked that EJ would probably have a business trip when Nic was scheduled to give birth. She privately didn't mind. EJ and Nicole talked via cell phone and he updated her about Theo. She said she could go to the engagement party on her own if he was busy. He said that the party was important, too and would be home soon. When EJ hung up, Stefano noted that his devotion to Nicole was both admirable and a liability. EJ arrived home, which thrilled Nicole. She told him about her conversation with Tony. He assured her that Stefano wouldn't take over their lives. She said it was okay if EJ had to do business that kept him from her because she trusted him. He said he trusted her completely. They left for the party.

Chloe finally came downstairs and Lucas made a loving toast to her.
