In the light of their discovery of the photograph of Celeste in Aremid, Jennifer suggests that maybe Jack was right. She and Peter go to speak to Celeste again, and she admits that perhaps she was there. They calculate that the picture was taken approximately twenty years ago. Jennifer and Peter tell Celeste that Jack thinks something is going on in Aremid, and Celeste is alarmed to hear the Lady in White mentioned. Later, Jennifer and Peter announce they are going away for a while.

Jack admits to Laura that he will have to accept it if Jennifer marries Peter. Laura becomes resigned to the fact that she’ll have to wait until after the wedding for her chance with Jack.

At the airport, Marlena speaks to a woman from the rehabilitation hospital to which Stefano is to be sent and becomes uncertain about sending him there, as it is understaffed and the staff who are there are overworked. She invites him to complete his therapy at her penthouse. He is overwhelmed by her generosity and toys with the possibility that his recovery may just be the beginning of something between him and Marlena.

Tony decides that he will frame John for murder, but is undecided as to who the victim of his murder will be. He makes a list of possible candidates...

In Santa Rosa, it’s raining and Bo’s not sure how much sexual tension he can handle. He calls Billie and tells her that it would be best if she can wait until there’s more accomodation and the weather clears up before she joins him and Hope on the island. Carmen shows them what they wrote in the hotel’s guestbook on their last visit and asks them to write something new and romantic in it. Thinking of being able to remarry Billie when the divorce is finalised, Bo writes that once again, he’s been given a place where all his dreams will come true. He and Hope decide to pretend they’re strangers in order to ease the tension (or something - I didn’t really understand what the hell they were up to.) Carmen later asks for another photgraph of them kissing to put next to the one taken on their last visit in order show how love endures. In Salem, Billie finds her wedding ring on the floor.

Caroline is horrified to find Stefano in residence at Marlena’s apartment. She leaves in a hurry and Stefano notices Caroline’s contempt for him. Marlena tells him that he will have to face up to everyone’s feelings about him. Meanwhile, Caroline finds John and tells him about Stefano. He vows to make sure that Stefano is on the first flight to New York and hurries over to the penthouse, where he tells Stefano to get out. Marlena explains to John that she can see none of the old Stefano in him and that she has to help him heal if she wants to heal herself. She reassures him that when he can walk again, he’ll walk out her door. Stefano, however, does not want her loyalty to him to ruin her life and has called a car and made other arrangements, hoping she considers her debt to him to be paid in full. Marlena insists that he stay.

Sami cons Austin into helping her exercise at the gym. Billie finds Carrie in a distressed state and decides it’s time they talked about getting her and Austin back together. She tells Carrie she saw true love in her and Austin and that she must never believe it’s too late.

Victor tells Austin that his ideas for a project are great, but he’ll need someone with more experience to work with. He suggests Carrie, telling him never to give up on love. Carrie is not so sure this is a good idea, but he begs her to help him and she agrees.

Vivian orders Ivan to destroy the videotape of her "wedding" to Victor so that he doesn’t see it. However, the maid mixes them up and he destroys the wrong one. Victor invites Vivian to dinner tonight and tells her it’s time he stopped grieving Kate’s death and got on with his life. She calls Ivan and tells him to prepare the boudoir.

Sami approaches Vivian in regards to the job she promised her at Titan. Vivian tells her she’s on her own - Victor wants Carrie and Austin to be together. However, Sami makes various threats about uncovering the dirt on her and Vivian eventually tells Carrie and Austin that she’s decided to employ Sami.

Victor suggests that Billie fly down to Santa Rosa on the company jet and that if there’s no accomodation, she and Bo can sleep on the jet. She takes him up on his offer and flies out. Later, he gets home and puts the wedding videotape in the VCR, wondering why he has never seen it before.

Bo and Hope are alerted to Billie’s presence on the island, but Billie has run off. She concedes that she must have been mistaken, but that there was no mistaking the look of love between them. Bo and Hope find her and explain what she saw and she is greatly relieved. Bo shows Billie the divorce papers and she sees that Hope is yet to sign them. She presses her to do so now.

Pleased with the progress that Stefano is making, Marlena makes plans for them both to go out to dinner.

Vivian and Ivan discover Victor watching the tape. Ivan deliberately spills drink all over the VCR, much to the disappointment of Victor, who was rather enjoying the tape. While Victor answers the door, Vivian tries to destroy the tape. It is Olga at the door, feeling rather amorous towards Ivan. Vivian tells Ivan to do whatever Olga wants him to as she can’t afford for her to spill the beans about her "marriage" to Victor. She and Victor head out for dinner at the Penthouse Grill. When they get there, Victor is appalled to see Marlena arrive with Stefano. Victor and Vivian clearly grow quite close over dinner and Vivian calls home and tells Ivan to prepare her bedroom. Olga, however, will not let him do any work.

Jennifer is concerned that when she and Peter get married, Laura will have to live with Jack. Peter gets the impression that they are actually quite good friends, but Jennifer thinks this is ridiculous.

At the Penthouse Grill, Laura tries to hammer it into Jack that there is no hoep for him and Jennifer. He tells her he’s waiting for a call from a private invistigator he’s sent to Aremid. Jennifer and Peter arrive for dinner and Jennifer is confused to see her mother dining with Jack. She attempts to persuade her to join her and Peter for dinner instead, but to no avail. Jennifer and Peter also express some surprise at seeing Marlena dining with Stefano. Jennifer decides they should go and say hello, and encourages Peter to talk to Stefano about the wedding and other such things, while she asks Marlena if she knows what she’s doing.

When Marlena is confronted by another person questioning her choice of dinner partner, Victor comes to her rescue. However, he warns Stefano that he’ll have a lot of people to answer to if he hurts Marlena. Marlena and Stefano depart shortly afterwards, and Stefano tells Marlena he’ll never put her in such an embarrassing position again. Victor then tells Vivian he’d like to take her home, but that the night doesn’t have to end there.

Hope signs the divorce papers and gives Bo the key to their room, as she’s going to get another room. She is deeply upset. She tells Carmen the truth behind her and Bo’s visit to Santa Rosa. Carmen urges her to fight for Bo and tells her not to leave Santa Rosa until the whole thing is resolved.

Billie is delighted to find their room is called the Room of Eternal Love but she does not know why it is called that. She is shocked when Bo finds himself unable to make love to her inside. Instead, he takes her outside, promising a better time.

Olga finds Vivian’s marriage certificate under her pillow while Ivan is preparing her room for her and Victor. Ivan manages to get it off her before she can read it, but she knows that Vivian is up to no good and that she will pay for staeling the heart of her man Ivan. Downstairs, Victor and Vivian get home and Victor invites Vivian to come upstairs with him. Ivan interrupts and takes Vivian aside to tell her that Olga saw the certificate. She is annoyed, and orders him to handle the situation while she enjoys her evening with Victor. However, Olga has figured out the truth about the "wedding" and interrupts Vivian and Victor’s romantic evening to tell Victor that his wedding rehearsal was a real wedding and that he’s therefore been married to Vivian for the best part of eight months now.
