Hope admits to Bo that she has not yet come up with a way to get out of stripping at the Blue Moon. He is still determined to have her reassigned, but Abe tells him that Hope is making clear inroads in the case and that he has to figure out why he’s being so overprotective of her.
Hope meets Tiffany, a stripper at the Blue Moon who Jude has asked to show her the ropes. She is not forthcoming with any information, though she warns her about the special customers who pay through the nose for extra attention and who not only like to look, but also touch. Jude also is not willing to part with any information about these customers, but he plans on getting more intimate with her later on. The time comes for her to go onstage, and she is quite a hit with the crowd.
Francis is horrified as it appears that Tony’s plan is working when John goes ballistic at Stefano. Stefano tells them all that he did not arrange the party and Tony admits that he did. He apologises for offending anyone, but Marlena thanks him. John is sure Tony is up to something, though, and demands to know what it is. Tony denies John’s accusations and Francis must stand by with his mouth shut. Marlena tells John he’s being silly, while Tony tells Kristen he didn’t realise how much rage John had towards the DiMeras and that he probably should have thought twice before arranging the party. Later, Francis is horrified at how well Tony’s plan is coming together when Tony shows him that he has John’s gun, and tells him that he will tell John everything. Meanwhile, Kristen tells John that his behaviour frightened her and criticises him for not even trying to give Stefano another chance.

Hope becomes overwhelmed by the crowd and runs off stage. She explains to Jude that she was distracted by him. Then, Sarah is brought in, unaware that she’s been employed to strip. Jack manages to track her to the club, having seen the man who got her the job wearing her scarf, but they will not let him in. He threatens to go to the police if he can’t see Sarah, so they take him backstage where Jude is surprised to hear that he knows Hope. They manage to explain their acquaintance away and Hope implores Jack to get her and Sarah out as she’s in the middle of a police operation. She agrees to go onstage again so Sarah doesn’t have to. Thankfully, Bo has arrived and he starts a brawl in the crowd and Hope is ushered offstage again. In the ensuing mayhem, Jack and Sarah make good their escape and they return home to an amazed Jennifer and Peter. Hope thanks Bo for starting the fight, but Bo still insists that she should leave the case. She insists she can take care of herself.

Victor and Carrie arrive on the pier and Lucas offers to walk Carrie home. She tells him about Austin’s visit that evening, and he suggests that they continue pretending to date each other so it at least appears that she’s trying to get over Austin. Back on the pier, Caroline tells Victor that he will find a special woman who cares for him one day. Later, Vivian and Ivan arrive at Victor’s house with gifts for Phillip.
