At the townhouse, Vivian is tearing the place apart and finds a locked box hidden in the fireplace. Vivian hands the box to Ivan to break it open, and he does. Inside is Jonsey's will, an old one he drew up years ago. Vivian looks for the beneficiary and finds out that it's Stefano! Vivian asks how they can be connected and Celeste tells Vivian that Kristen and Peter were here a year ago, which means they were here because of Stefano. Vivian realizes that this townhouse and everything was originally Stefano's. Vivian says this explains everything that has gone on, he wanted to drive her insane so he could get his possessions back, and that's why he married her. Ivan doesn't understand why Stefano went to so much trouble when he owned this stuff. Vivian reminds him that Jonsey made a new will, leaving this stuff to her. Celeste says that Jonsey was obviously Stefano's front man, which shocks Vivian even more because these treasures are stolen. Ivan tells Vivian if that is discovered, she could go to jail. Vivian is furious with Stefano. Celeste tells her now she sees that Stefano will do anything to get what he wants. Vivian looks at Celeste and says "and you think I won't?"
At the DiMera Mansion, Stefano is wondering why Gina has done very little work and hopes she isn't up to her old tricks. Rolfe calls around trying to find her, but can't. Stefano begins to worry and fears she may be trying to relive her past with Greta and John. Stefano decides that he has to find out where Gina is. Stefano says that the last time this happened was when she (the original Gina) learned John was gone, she lost her passion and protested to working for him, and that was when he lost the original Gina. Rolfe says that she did everything so perfectly, dance, played, loved . . . Stefano sternly asks Rolfe "who did Princess Gina love?" Rolfe says it's not a question of whom she loved, but who loved her. Stefano laughs and says everyone love her, but he never knew her to be in love with one man. However, Stefano has doubts, and wonders if Hope/Gina will be able to tell them who she might love. Bart calls Stefano and Stefano is furious because Gina is with John and Greta. Rolfe says maybe she had to go to play Hope's role, and Greta won't know who she really is. Stefano says that it is not Greta he is worried about. Rolfe doesn't think John will remember, but Stefano says he hasn't come face to face with Gina since they erased his memory.
At the Tuscany, Gina enters in the red dress and draws everyone's attention. John recalls dancing with her and the two lock eyes. Lilly tells Lucille that Gina is back! Bo wonders why everyone is staring at "Hope". Greta tells Bo that isn't "Hope", that's her mother, Princess Gina. Gina silently tells herself that John will remember her. Bo tells Greta that her mom is dead, this is Hope. However, Greta says "just look at her," and that the dress is the one from her memory. Bo approaches "Hope" and she tells him that a few aspirin have made her feel like a new person. "Hope" says Greta looks beautiful and thanks Bo for everything he's done for her. Marlena tells John that "Hope's" dress is pretty and John says the only time he's seen her look like that was when she was pretending to be Gina in Lugano. "Hope" tells Bo that John and Marlena look happy and Bo tells her that John was about to make an announcement before she showed up. "Hope" a goes to see Lilly, who tells her that if she didn't know better she'd says she was the real Princess Gina. "Hope" orders some expensive champaign, which worries Bo. Meanwhile, Lilly tells Lucille that Don Ruina (sp?) 88 was Gina's favorite Champaign. Lucille tells Lilly that Gina was only a role Hope played, but Lilly says she'd stake her life on it that Hope is Gina. Bo pours the champagne and toasts to Greta. "Hope" tells Greta that she's so proud of her. Greta tells her that she's so glad she came tonight. When they are alone, Greta tells "Hope" that her dress is an exact replica of a dress her mom owned, one she wore when she taught John how to dance. Greta asks "Hope" why she is trying to be Princess Gina? Marlena saves Gina, because she wants to talk with "Hope." Marlena tells her that Bo is concerned about her, and she is too. "Hope" says she's having problems dealing with her past and Marlena says she understands because John is having problems too. "Hope" quizzes Marlena on what John has remembered, and then tells her that she believes she could be very helpful to her. Marlena is thrilled and tells "Hope" "anytime." John looks at Gina and says "it can't be!" Gina sees John looking at her and knows that he remembers her. Bo tells "Hope" that he loves her, and she tells him that she loves him. They talk about loving with one's entire heart and soul, and "Hope" says John loves that way as well. Bo says he does, he loves Marlena that was because she is his one true love. Bo kisses "Hope," who is thinking of John. Bo asks if he might dance with Greta again, and she tells him of course he can. While they dance, "Hope" plots to make John remember her. Marlena excuses herself and Gina talks with the music man, and then talks with John. John apologizes for staring at her, but her dress is so familiar. "Hope" asks if he remembers it, and John says yes. "Hope" asks him what he remembers, and John tells her that he remembers a dance with Princess Gina, but he's not sure if it was a real memory, or one conjured up by the power of suggestion. John tells her what exactly he remembered, including feeling that he was with someone very important. "Hope" tells him that she was very important to him. John asks "Hope" how she could know that? "Hope" says that she was just going by what Greta told her, he was extremely important to her and her mother. John apologizes for snapping at her. Marlena returns and then leaves again to get some champaign. Marlena talks with Bo and tells him that she talked with "Hope" about helping her out and she think "Hope" will be willing to talk to her. Marlena then goes to check on Belle and Brady. The Viennese waltz plays, thanks to Gina, and Greta tells John this is the waltz that her mother taught him to dance to. Gina drags John onto the floor. John says that he's no good at waltzing, but Gina tells him to let the music move him. The two dance, and lock eyes. Greta tells Bo that she swears "Hope" is her mother, but Bo refuses to believe that. Greta tells herself that "Hope" knows a lot more about Gina than she's admitting to. Stefano shows up and sees Gina dancing with John and is furious. Back on the floor, John tells "Hope" that "dancing is easy when you have the perfect partner like you, Gina." Hope is thrilled and says "Oh John, you remembered!"
