In Las Vegas, Ali is disguised in a Mardi-Gras like get-up and flips when she hears Mike telling Carrie how much he loves her. She shatters the glass she was holding out anger. Nancy and Craig wonder what is going on, so Nancy decides to do some investigating. Mike and Carrie take to the dance floor and Mike tells her that this night is only getting started. Mike tells her that she is the only woman in his heart, he'll never desert her. Mike tells Carrie it's time for her next surprise, but first he kisses her.

Ali runs into the bathroom and Nancy follows her. Ali thinks that she and Craig set this up, but Nancy says they are not responsible for Mike's feelings. Ali goes berserk on her and Nancy slaps some sense into her. She tells Ali that she's going to have to deal with the fact that Mike loves Carrie. Nancy tells her that Mike will never love or marry her. Ali tells Nancy that she wasn't there when Mike made love to her and to hear the promises he made. Nancy tells her that what Mike did to her was horrible, and now she has to sue him. Craig shows up and asks what is wrong? Ali says she knows what she has to do. Nancy asks what she's going to do? Ali says she's going to call her mom. Nancy is worried about her, but Ali says she has to move on and do what she came here to do. Ali leaves and Craig tells Nancy that she was right, Ali is a loose cannon.

Back in the restaurant, Carrie and Mike watch some magicians. Later Mike and Carrie shoot craps, and they win big. When Mike goes to bet it all, he kisses Carrie for luck, and wins! At the same time, Ali takes pictures of Mike and Carrie as their lips are locked. Craig asks Ali if she's ready to sue Mike yet? Ali says "you bet I am," and then she leaves to develop her photos. Craig tells Nancy that they should go out to celebrate. Nancy asks "what about Ali the time bomb?" Ali looks at Carrie and says that it's time everyone knows what a lying bitch she is.

Roman is talking with Kate about Roberto's condition. Kate asks what this has to do with her? Roman tells her that is what he'd like to know. Roman tells Kate about the drug mix-up which almost killed Roberto, and the mysterious third nurse at the hospital. Kate acts appalled that Roman is accusing her of putting Roberto in his coma. Roman says he's not accusing her of anything, he wanted to know if she saw anyone suspicious at the hospital. Kate says no, she wasn't even looking for anything suspicious. Kate wishes she could help. Roman tells her that she can, if she remembers anything then she should tell him. Roman gets a call from Eric, who tells him that they are all waiting for him at the Tuscany. Roman says he got delayed, but will be right there. When Roman tells Kate what is up with Nicole, he realizes she doesn't like Nicole and asks why? We never hear Kate's answer.

A clean shaven Austin is talking to Lucas at the Tuscany. Lucas is picking on Austin about his upcoming "divorce" and wonders who will file for abandonment? Lucas tells his brother that he will marry and will get custody of Will. Austin asks if he's going to buy a wife? Lucas tells him that when he does get married, his wife won't be fooling around with her boss!

At the table, Nicole refuses to let Taylor talk about their mother. She eventually tells Taylor they should go freshen up and give their mom a call. Marlena tells Eric that Taylor and Nicole remind her of Carrie and Sami. Nicole and Taylor argue, Taylor accuses Nicole of being ashamed of her family. Taylor tells Nicole that it sickens her to see her lying to Eric. Nicole asks her sister why she just can't be happy for her. Nicole asks Taylor to at least try and get along with her. Taylor agrees, but only for Eric's sake. Back at the table, Caroline and Shawn ask Eric if he thinks Nicole is his soul mate. Nicole returns and tells them that Taylor is still talking to their mom on the phone. Eric asks Nicole to dance, and the two take to the floor. Lucas is now dining with Heather, and when he sees Eric and Nicole dancing, he suggests to Heather that they dance. When Eric leaves Nicole's side to get her some champagne, Lucas uses the opportunity to talk to Nicole about his wonderful date. However, Lucas tells Nicole that she can't kiss like her. Roman shows up and wonders what they are doing together. Eric returns and asks what is up? Roman says that is what he was wondering. Nicole says that Lucas was just filling her in on her next photo shoot. Lucas decides to get back to his date and the others join the party. Eric suggests that they order food, but Nicole asks to say something first. Nicole tells them all how nervous she was about meeting them, but she feels so comfortable around them, she only wishes Sami could be here. Nicole goes on and tells them that she did things when she was younger that she regrets, but Eric has changed her, he's made her a better person. Nicole tells Eric that she wants to make him happy. Caroline and Shawn tell Nicole that was wonderful. Taylor decides she doesn't feel well and decides to leave. Austin also decides to call it a night, and he walks Taylor out. Austin walks Taylor out and offers to drive her home. Taylor wonders how people who love each other lie to one another? Austin says he was wondering the same thing.

Back at Lucas and Heather's table, Heather asks Lucas why he keeps looking at Nicole, is something going on between them? Lucas tells Heather that Nicole is his future wife. Heather tells Lucas that while they are being honest, his mom set this up. Lucas tells Heather that there is no way he's going to date her, and she can tell his mom her plan was a bust. That pisses Heather off because she realizes that Lucas asked her out to make Nicole jealous. Heather calls Lucas a creep and walks off.

At the Cheatin' Heart, Bo and Billie are talking and shooting pool. Bo tells Billie about his fight with Hope and how she doesn't want to connect with him. Billie tells Bo she thinks she knows why, and she tells him that "Hope" is still upset about him committing to her in Rome. Bo doesn't understand why she can't get past this. Billie tells him that from a woman's point of view, when a man gives his heart to another woman, it is very painful. Bo realizes he shouldn't be talking to her about this, but Billie says she wants to talk to him about it. Bo doesn't understand why "Hope" hasn't been herself lately. Billie asks what he means, so Bo tells her about the picture of "Hope" and Stefano. He then tells Billie how "Hope" has also moved out of Mrs. H's house. Billie says that doesn't sound like "Hope" at all. Bo tells Billie that he has to find out what is going on with "Hope" before it's too late. Billie suggests that Bo give "Hope" the space she needs. Bo asks Billie how she is doing? Billie says she is good and misses him, as a friend. Billie asks Bo if he's forgiven her for the baby? Bo tells her yes and that he doesn't hate her, and he'd like for them to be close again.

In Salem Place, John and "Hope" talk. When John mentions his headaches, Gina recalls how massaging John's temples used to ease the pain. She walks over to John and begins to give him a massage. John tells her that it feels good. "Hope" tells him that she did this for Bo all the time. John tells her that she is a good friend and he believes she is the only one who can understand what he's going through. "Hope" tells John that she believes they can help one another. John explains how rough this is for him, he's beginning to question whether or not he was faithful to the church while he was a priest. John tells "Hope" about his memory of being with Gina in Capri. However, what is troubling him is that his name wasn't in the hotel records. "Hope" tells John that she knows his memory is a real one. John asks her how she knows? "Hope" claims that she too is having memories of being Gina. "Hope" tells John that what he felt for Gina was beautiful, nothing to be ashamed of. She tells him that he had a wonderful and fulfilling life before he met Marlena, and he can have that life again. John tells her that he wants to find the answers, but what if he learns he was the love of Gina's life? "Hope" tells John "Gina had wonderful taste."

At Tuscany, the get-to-know Nicole dinner is winding down. Nicole tells Roman that she knows he has doubts about her, but she and Eric have worked everything out and she would never do anything to hurt his son. Roman says as long as they are being honest, he doesn't trust her. Eric tells his dad that he doesn't want Nicole to hurt him, but he seems to have no problem hurting her. Nicole says she only wants to make Eric happy. Roman asks how Lucas fits in? Nicole says that Lucas is her boss. Roman leaves to take a call and Nicole asks Marlena if she share's Roman's opinion of her? We never hear Marlena's answer because both Eric and Roman return, Eric went to order his parents dessert. Eric says he and Nicole are going to leave, but they should stay and enjoy dessert.

Nicole asks Eric why he cut dinner short? Eric tells her that he has a special dessert planned for her.

Eric drives Nicole to their destination and then blindfolds her.

Back in the restaurant, Marlena talks to Roman about Eric and Nicole, and Carrie and Austin. Marlena fears that if Austin and Carrie don't talk soon they may never get back on track.

Marlena tells Roman that the idea of John and Gina being an item troubles her, but Roman tells her that is in the past. He tells Marlena not to let this come between them.

In Salem Place, "Hope" tells John that he has to face the fact they he may not have been a priest. John wonders who he is, and says DiMera is the only one who really knows. "Hope" tells John that she knows, he is the same man he has always been. John mentions the picture of her and Stefano. "Hope" says she doesn't want to believe the thought of her being with Stefano, just like he doesn't want to believe he was the love of Gina's life. "Hope" says they don't have to go through this alone, they can help each other. "Hope" asks John to let her help him. John wants to know the truth and accepts her offer. "Hope" takes John by the hand and leads him to Tuscany. John asks her what they are doing? "Hope" tells him that they are going to recreate the memory he had at the hotel with Gina. John orders some Don Renard 76, but the waiter doesn't have it, so "Hope" orders 88. "Hope" excuses herself to use the bathroom. John opens and pours the champagne and when "Hope" comes back, John pours her a glass. He tells her that he didn't want it to get warm and lose its effervescence. "Hope" remembers the old John saying the same thing, and she is positive he remembers. John remembers it too, and tells "Hope" that the memory was real. "Hope" encourages John to try and remember what happened next. Meanwhile, Marlena excuses herself from her table and sees John and "Hope" staring into each other's eyes, almost as they are about to kiss.

Austin asks Taylor what is going on between her and her sister? Taylor says she and Nikki have never been close, and therefore they have problems trusting one another. Austin says they sound a lot like Carrie and Sami. Austin changes the subject to her modeling pictures. Taylor says she was so nervous, and Austin tells her Carrie was too when she first modeled for Bella. Taylor says she'd love to see Carrie's pictures and Austin says he will show them to her. Austin and Taylor go back to Austin's place and Austin looks for the photo album. Austin finds it and he and Taylor look through it. Taylor says Carrie was a natural and asks why she gave it up? Austin tells her the story about how his involvement in a gambling ring lead to Carrie's face being scarred with acid. Later, Taylor tells Austin that he has a message on his machine. Austin checks it and it's Carrie's message. Taylor says she'll leave him alone so he can talk to Carrie, but Austin says he doesn't want to talk to Carrie. Taylor asks why he doesn't want to call her back? Austin decides maybe he will call Carrie, and heads to the other room to call her. Taylor looks at a picture of Austin and Carrie on their wedding day and begins to fantasize about marrying Eric. However, Taylor snaps to and says it's more likely that Nicole will marry Eric, not that she deserves it. In the other room, Austin picks up the phone and wonders if he should call Carrie.

In Las Vegas, Ali is watching Mike and Carrie as they kiss and gamble. She says that Carrie is a little slut who obviously isn't satisfied with one man. She goes on calling Carrie a two-faced bitch and says that Carrie's happy time is about to turn into a nightmare. At the table, Mike tells Carrie that he'd like to take her to a spot where they can see all the stars. Carrie says she'd love that, but first she wants to go to her room and get a sweater. Mike realizes that Carrie wants to check her messages to see if Austin has called, but he says he doesn't mind because the sooner they talk, the sooner they can all move on with their lives. Mike and Carrie go up to her room and there is no message from Austin. Mike tells Carrie that they belong together. Carrie says she wants them to be together too, but . . . .

Stefano says that he has to face the fact that Vivian is going to die. Stefano says that Gina's return is an act of God, but Rolfe says God didn't turn Hope into Gina. Still, Stefano says what matters is that Gina is back and he wants to love her again. Rolfe tells Stefano that he let him believe they were bringing Gina back to complete the forgeries and to keep Bo and Hope from learning the truth. Stefano says that he's just enjoying the bonus. However, Rolfe warns Stefano that he is going to slip up and soon, everyone will learn the truth and it will destroy him. Stefano assures Rolfe that he won't let down his guard. Besides, Stefano says that John is the only other one who knows the truth, and he no longer knows it. Rolfe says the memories have been erased, but who knows what Gina can do if she puts her mind to it. Stefano asks Rolfe why he thinks Gina could get John to remember his past? Rolfe says he isn't saying it's possible, but Gina does seem to want John back. Stefano dismisses that and says he plans to make the best of his future with Gina.

Carrie doesn't want to talk about her trip, so Austin starts talking about Sami, which causes another tiff. Carrie stops it before it can get ugly. Austin asks Carrie if she is planning on coming home? Carrie asks him if he wants her to? Austin says it doesn't matter what he wants. Carrie tells Austin that they need to talk, she has to tell him something. Austin asks what she has to tell him. Meanwhile, a message comes over Austin's computer in the other room and it says "You've Got Mail!" Suddenly, Taylor screams.

Billie tells him that as long as she claims to feel hurt and betrayed, she won't have to commit to him. Billie tells Bo that he has to forgive himself, even if Hope doesn't. Bo tells Billie that she is right, "Hope" is using this as an excuse, and wonders what happened. He says "it's not like she's in love with someone else." Bo knows "Hope" is remembering more than she's letting on. Billie tells Bo that when she was in Switzerland, Hope immersed herself in Gina's life, almost like Hope didn't exist.

"Hope" tells Marlena that she has had memory flashes of the hotel in Capri as well, and John's memory matches hers. Marlena thinks it is just the power of suggestion. "Hope" doesn't understand why she doesn't want John to remember his past? Marlena says she does want John to remember, but she doesn't understand why SHE wants it so badly? "Hope" says she is interested because she believes his past is linked to hers. She says she thinks they can work better together than alone, but Marlena tell her that she has Bo to help her.
