Belle tells her parents that she's been thinking a lot about college lately, and she has an idea that is a little bit of a change. Belle says she wants them to move to California so she can go to college out there. She says she can't bare to be without them, so she thought they could all go out there. Brady asks if this has to do with Shawn Brady? Belle says he may have mentioned something about studying marine biology, and then she says by the looks on their faces this must be a bad idea. She rambles on and on, and then asks them if the way they are acting has something to do with what they wanted to tell her? She demands to know why everyone looks so serious. Marlena says it is serious, and it involves her and Shawn. Belle says Shawn is waiting for her at school, she just talked to him. Marlena realizes that shawn hasn't been told. Belle says "told what?" John begins to explain about the brainwashing he and Hope both went under. He explains how when they were under Stefano's influence, they had no control over what they did, and they also did not know who they really were. John says there is no easy way to tell her this, so he blurts out that he is the father of Hope's baby, JT is his son! Belle says this doesn't make any sense, Bo is JT's father. John says he isn't, and Bo has known all along that he's not JT's father. John says Bo made a decision to accept JT as his own and didn't tell anyone. John says both he and Hope remember how the baby was conceived, and everything came out at the party. Belle can't believe this is happening. Belle refuses to believe this is true, and thinks it is a nightmare, but she doesn't wake up. Belle backs away from her dad when he approaches her, and she asks her mom how she can stand this? MArlena says they are all trying to deal with this. John assures Belle that he loves her, and he loves her mother. John says he didn't want this to happen, this is all a sick game of Stefano's. Brady tries to convince Belle that their Dad is the innocent one, and give MArlena credit for standing by him. Brady says everything will be okay, but Belle says things will never be okay again. Belle asks if Shawn knows? MArlena says probably not yet, and that she should let his parents tell him. Brady tells Belle that Chloe knows, she overheard at the party, but promised not to tell anyone. Belle says she has to go to school, despite Marlena begging her to stay. Before leaving, Belle says if you really love someone, you would never want to be with someone else, and she tells her dad that his love for mom should have been more powerful than any kind of mind control! Belle says she won't tell Shawn, and leaves.
At Bo and Hope's, Bo and Hope discuss JT. Hope says they are JT's parents, nobody else. As they are about to start breakfast, Barb and Glen show up! Hope tells Bo to get rid of them, and runs off with the baby. Bo asks Glen and Barb what they want. Glen says they aren't here to cause trouble, but a mix-up in the hospital could have caused them to be raising his son. Barb says a little boys life is at stake, so they should be communicating instead of leaving it up to lawyers and judges. Bo invites them in to talk, and Glen and Barb says the DNA test will happen. Glen says he has to know if he is his son or not. Hope says he isn't, so Glen shows them the DNA test they did on JT. Hope and Bo are shocked, and Hope says this can't be true! Glen says he is not the bad guy here, he just wants his son back because his son is wanted by one of his true parents. They says the reason JT has problems is because Marlo didn't care and drank and got high while pregnant, but he does care about that boy, and he is his son. Hope blows up and says JT is her son and they aren't taking him away from her! Barb tells Hope that she can't begin to understand how hard this is for her, but on a positive note, if JT is Glen's child, then Abe and Lexie have theirs. Hope says no, JT is her son, she has raised him for almost 2 years! Glen says his son deserves to know the truth, that he was not abandoned, and he wants to spend time with his son. Bo warns Glen that he is getting ahead of himself, nobody said anything about him seeing their son. Barb defends Glen and says he is a wonderful man, and they are only here to make sure Glen gets him back. Glen says that is not true, he is also here to thank them for taking care of his son and for being wonderful parents, he knows that JT wouldn't have survived if it wasn't for their love. Hope says that is right, that is why JT is alive, so he should drop this. Glen says that his son has to know that he was wanted by his father. Glen and Barb leave, and Hope makes Bo promise to protect their son!
