Lucas shows up at the door and tells Sami that he's here to take Will home. Lucas walks inside and Sami refuses to let him take Will. Lucas tells her that she doesn't have a choice, he has soul custody of Will. Sami says that is because he coerced Nicole into marriage, that is the only reason he married her, he would do anything to get Will. Lucas says she would too, and asks Sami to admit that he never hit Will. Sami says he almost killed Will by kidnapping will while driving drunk, but Lucas says this is all her fault for lying, she started the ball rolling. Sami says she and Austin will challenge custody, but Lucas says he has everything on his side. Sami gives him a look, and Lucas sees that the old Sami is back. Lucas tells Sami that Austin is just her friend, he doesn't love her and never will. Lucas had hoped her near death experience would have changed her. Sami says it has, and he has no idea what it is like to look death in the face. Lucas says he hopes he doesn't until he's an old man, and his offer to share custody with her still stands. Lucas asks her if she wants peace, or war? Sami says she will not rest until she gets her son back. Lucas says he is sorry he ever saved her life, and he should have listened to his mom. Sami tells him that he confessed because of his guilty conscious. Chelsea brings Will down and Lucas and says he's leaving. Sami wants to say goodbye to Will privately, and Chelsea asks Lucas to call next time and she'll have his things packed. Lucas says there probably won't be a next time. Lucas takes Will and leaves. After he is gone, Sami vows to prove his marriage to Nicole is a sham, or that he really killed Lucas.

Then he finally realizes that Gina has betrayed him, and he will find her. Stefano makes some calls to have his men search for Gina. Stefano remembers how quickly Bo rushed out of his jet and he must have something to hide. He remembers the phone call and how Bo asked "How long has he been gone?" Stefano wonders what is going on, and where Gina is. Stefano wonders if Gina hit Rolfe in the forest as part of her own plan, which does not include him. Rolfe remembers another time when Gina caused a scene after John left. In the flashback, Gina told Rolfe that she was completely alone, and she wanted Rolfe to find someone to replace her. Rolfe tells Stefano that he fears the current Gina might be deteriorating the same way. Stefano gets a call from Bart, who has information on Bo. Bart tells Stefano that Bo went to Hawaii, where John and Marlena are honeymooning. The pieces fall into place and Stefano realizes John is the missing person. Stefano tells Rolfe that he's starting to think Gina and John's relationship was more than professional.

When Bo learns that neither John nor the woman's bodies have washed ashore, he puts two and two together. Bo tells Marlena that Hope is missing as well. Marlena asks him if he thinks that they are together? Bo says that Stefano has transformed Hope back into Gina, which explains her recent behavior. Bo tells her that Gina was in love with John, and he thinks Hope might have orchestrated John's disappearance. Marlena doesn't think is true, but Bo says that his gut tells him that John and Hope are together, and DiMera is responsible. Marlena fears that if his theory is right, she may never see John again. Bo promises Marlena that he will find both John and Hope, and he races out of her room. Bo returns shortly and tells her that the storm is too bad to allow him to search for John and Hope. Bo asks Marlena if John has had anymore flashbacks recently? Marlena tells him yes, John even tried to strangle Stefano. Bo thinks that Stefano was afraid John was getting his memory back, so he decided he had to control John again to save himself.

Sami says she understands what it is like to tell the truth and have nobody believe you. Sami says that's why she went on the run with Austin, which was one of the happiest times of her life.

Stefano tells Gina that he knows she knocked out Rolfe and let John marry Marlena while he flew off to Europe. Gina tries to tell Stefano that he is wrong, but later admits that she and John were lovers. Stefano can't believe she kept this secret from him all those years. Stefano sees the calender and realizes that she and John were going to take off, except he sent John to Salem. Gina says she is sorry he found out the truth this way, but Stefano says not as sorry as she is going to be. Gina asks Stefano what he is going to do with her?

In Carrie's office, Carrie tells Nancy that Ali has dreamed up this fantasy of sleeping with Mike, so she will research Ali's past all the way back to high school in order to destroy her credibility. Carrie says that once they show how decisional Ali is, no jury will side with her. In Mike's office, Mike is remembering how he was talking to Ali in bed. He remembers jokingly telling her that he might have to make her head nurse. Mike is positive that he didn't lead Ali on, and wonders how he will explain this to Carrie. He realizes that he has to talk to her before someone else does. Mike calls Carrie, who is still with Nancy, and he asks her to meet him in the park to talk. Carrie tells Nancy that she has to step out, and then heads to the park. Nancy says poor Carrie is the one caught up in a fantasy.
Nancy finds Craig and tells him that she was just talking to Carrie, and she has no idea that Mike and Ali slept together. Nancy is feeling guilty and says Carrie is in for a rude awakening. Nancy and Craig hear Ali talking to reporters on the phone. Nancy doesn't like this at all. Craig tells Nancy that all her life Ali has yearned to be someone important, and now she is.

Carrie meets Mike in the park and he tells her they have to talk. Mike tells her that back when he was dating Ali, it was after they made their pact not to see each other. Mike says he was trying to move on with his life, and he had some good times with Ali. Carrie asks Mike what he's trying to say? Mike says that he slept with Ali. Carrie can't believe he slept with someone he didn't love. Mike says he thought he could fall in love with her, and didn't tell her the truth because he didn't want to hurt her. Carrie says she could have dealt with this. Mike says it only happened once, and afterwards he realized it was a mistake and ended it. Carrie says she thought Ali was decisional, but now she understands why Ali feels rejected, she has every reason to! Carrie says she feels like a fool for accusing Ali of living in a dream world. Mike says it did not happen the way Ali says it did, he did not sexually harass Ali. Mike asks Carrie if she believes him?

Stefano tells her that she has lied to him for the last time, she knows she only wanted the old John back for herself! Stefano says that he knows she was the one trying to make John remember, not Marlena. Gina tries to say she only wanted John back to steal the last Rennet, but Stefano tells her not to insult his intelligence. He asks her where she was going to take her lover? Stefano tells her that she would never have gotten away with it, he created her and can turn her back into Hope Williams just like that! Gina says she can't go back to Salem! Stefano tells her that she didn't care about anyone but herself, and calls her a selfish little bitch! Gina yells "How dare you speak to me like that!" Gina asks Stefano if he really thought she was supposed to have no other life aside from the rare moments he spent with her? Gina says she wants to return to her old life. Stefano asks her if she mean her life with John, or the one she spent with him? Gina says she has lived three lives, and she lived her life with him after he turned her back into Gina because she thought John was dead. However, this time she had to face her memories of John and her feelings for him each and every day. Stefano says those feelings don't belong to her, but Gina says she felt that she had lived those memories with John. Gina says the real Princess Gina had a mind of her own, she was never under his control. Stefano says he loved her, and Gina says that she knows her feelings for him were real. Stefano says he would never have recreated Gina in Hope if he knew about John and Gina's affair. He says he would have been forced to let Gina . . . Gina says she wants to know the truth, what happened to the real Gina? She says she knows she was alive during the memory transfer, but what happened after that? Stefano says this has nothing to do with the real Gina, this has to do with her disloyalty to him. Gina says she was loyal to him, and John is no longer a threat, so there is no reason to hurt him. Gina tells Stefano that she'll do whatever it takes to save John. She then disrobes and says she will do anything he wants.

Marlena goes to the hospital with John, and Bo shows up when he heard the news over the coast guard radio. The doctor comes out and tells them that John has been stabilized and his prognosis looks good. Marlena goes to see John, and Bo asks the doctor how he could survive the shark attack and the stormy waters? The doctor tells him it must have been a miracle, but Bo thinks it is the work of Stefano. He hopes that John will confirm this upon waking up, and if he was with Hope. Marlena is by John's side and holding his hand. She realizes that his ring is gone, and thinks he lost it at sea. John stirs and Bo shows up. He opens his eyes and looks at Marlena and Bo. He asks where he is? MArlena tells him not to talk, he's in the hospital with her. John asks "her?" and Marlena says yes, Marlena. Marlena tells him that they are in Hawaii and he swam out to save a drowning woman. Marlena says that he's been through a terrible ordeal, but he will be just fine. John looks at her and asks if they aren't supposed to be on their honeymoon? Marlena laughs and says they still are, because he came back.
