“Make love to me; I need you,” whispered Lexie, who was having sex with Tek in his car in the parking lot. Abe approached the vehicle, but his eyes were bothering him. Lexie spied him and freaked. John found Abe outside and asked what he was doing there. Abe confessed that he felt frustrated that his vision wasn’t back to normal and that he couldn’t yet resume his former life. He complained that his night vision was so bad, he might as well be blind. Abe then explained that he came out to look for Lexie, but saw something strange — Tek’s car appeared to be moving. (Hey, if Tek’s car’s a rockin’, don’t come knockin’.) Abe and John left to have a drink and talk about Alex. Lexie was upset with herself for being with Tek. He made a snide comment about Abe’s vision; she slapped him. “Tell me you can stay away from me,” Tek said. Lexie lamented that Abe didn’t deserve what she was doing.
Marlena and Alex dined at Chez Rouge. Marlena was still upset about Alex and John’s fight at the hospital. Alex tried to make light of it and assured her he’d take care of everything. John and Abe went to the bar at Chez Rouge. Marlena was on her way to the ladies’ room and overheard John threaten Alex to Abe. Alex approached. Marlena assured Alex that she was just telling John that her future was with Doc North. Abe held John back from doing anything that might make him look bad. “Stop trying to strong-arm this guy,” Abe advised. “Use your head instead of your fists… You need to beat him at his own game.” Abe thanked his pal and took off. Back at the table, Alex suggested that John was stalking them. Marlena admitted the whole situation unnerved her. “Forget about him,” Alex said, then went to get the check. Marlena was shaken when she had a memory of John giving her a blue diamond necklace for their anniversary and saying their love would last forever.
John broke into the penthouse, looking to get some ammo on Alex. He heard Alex and Marlena return home and ran up the stairs to hide — in her bedroom. Alex told Marlena she looked tired and should go to bed. They went upstairs. She kissed him goodnight, then took a sleeping pill. Downstairs, Alex toasted to the “perfect plan” in which John would lose Marlena and Alex would finally have his revenge. Marlena turned out the light in her bedroom. John emerged from the closet. Marlena called out to him. She sat up in bed and said, “Thank God you’re here… Don’t go…. John, I still love you.”
Tek and Lexie got dressed. Abe returned to find Lexie. She lied that she was paged to the hospital. Tek hid behind his car.
At the shower at Alice’s, Mimi cried to Bonnie about the mean girl from high school who made cracks about Shawn and Mimi’s relationship. Bonnie calmed her down. Belle asked Shawn if she could speak with him alone. Belle said that the party made her see everything more clearly.
Victor was determined to tell Shawn the truth about Claire. “Think of your son,” insisted Kate. Vic replied that Philip deserved to hear the truth, too. Philip overheard a snippet of his parents’ conversation and said he had something to say to Shawn, too. Philip took the microphone to make a toast to the future bride and groom “as Shawn’s best friend, best man and best uncle.” He said how his life began when he married Belle and how she got him through his abduction and rehab after he lost his leg. “My wife gave me the greatest gift of all. She gave me our little girl. When I looked down in her face, it was the happiest moment of my life,” he elaborated. After the speech, Bonnie pointed out to Mimi how the truth will only hurt Philip. Shawn gave Phil a bear hug and then publicly thanked his “best man for the best speech.” After, Belle and Shawn spoke alone again. Philip came up to them, interrupting their one-on-one. Mimi came over, too. Belle was jealous of Shawn and Mimi. Philip suggested they have a group hug. Vic and Kate spied it; she urged her ex to reconsider blabbing to the boys about Claire. He said he wouldn’t — for now.
The party ended. Phil went to get the coats; Mimi left to say good-bye to Bonnie. Belle told Shawn she still needed to speak with him. The four returned to the loft. Shawn and Belle lingered in the hallway; she asked him to meet her on the roof. He was resistant. Philip brought Claire outside to see her mother. Mimi decided to write a letter to Shawn, revealing the truth. Up on the roof, an arm grabbed Belle from behind. “I knew you’d come,” Belle said, then added they had to be honest about their feelings even if it hurt other people. “What are you talking about,” said Philip, who revealed himself. In the apartment, Shawn found the letter Mimi wrote. Mimi hid and watched him read it, crying that things would be over as soon as he finished.
