Chloe says she will stop being friends with Belle, but Mimi thinks this is just a scheme to make her look good. Chloe asks if she knows what today is? Mimi doesn't know, so Chloe tells her it is the day of compassion, it is about aids awareness. Mimi asks what that has to do with her? Chloe says compassion is about more than aids, it is about reaching out to others who need help. Mimi doesn't believe she wants to help her.

Shawn asks if she has anyone lined up to save her this time? Belle calls him a jerk, and they bicker and argue. Belle says that it was Phillip who saved her last time by saying he was her date, but Shawn reminds her that he was the one who saved her on the dance floor when Phillip was nowhere to be found. Belle tells him that he's right, and asks if he wants a standing ovation or something? Shawn tells her that she is so over the top with this, and the bickering continues.

At the hospital, Eric calls Greta and gets her machine, for the tenth time. He apologizes for last night and says how really really sorry he is and how he wants to make it up to her. Eric sees Sami, and goes to her for advice. Sami says she is working and can't, so Eric asks Nurse Brenda if his sister could take a break so he could talk to her. Brenda agrees because Eric is just to cute to say no to. They go out on the balcony, and Eric explains what happened with Nicole and Greta last night. Sami says she can't have Nicole getting sick on her, which makes Eric angry. Eric says he came to her for advice, not to hear what she wants. Sami tells Eric if he wants advice then he should drop Greta and get back with Nicole. Eric knows this is all about what she wants, but Sami says this is about her son.

She also says that every time Greta watches her favorite movie, she'll remember her very own prince charming gave it to her. Eric thanks her, and then asks Sami what her plan to get Will back is? Nurse Brenda tells Sami to get back to work, so Sami runs off and doesn't answer Eric's question.

Meanwhile, Nicole is in major pain, so she goes to see a Dr Bader. She hopes this isn't the thing from her past again. Dr. Bader agrees to examine Nicole immediately, so they go into her exam room. Dr. Bader asks her the standard questions, and can't believe Nicole hasn't had an exam in seven years. They talk some more, and Dr. Bader eventually gives Nicole a gown to put on. The exam begins later, and Dr. Bader asks about birth control and her period. Nicole says she is on the pill, and she her cycle has skipped a month her or there in the past. When Dr. Bader asks if she's ever had an STD, she quickly says no, never. Dr. Bader says they'll have to wait for the test results, and leaves to set the tests up. Dr. Bader returns later, and says the test results will be back in a couple of days. Later, Eric learns Nicole is in obstetrics, and wonders if she is pregnant.

At Greta's place, Greta refuses to answer the phone, or the door. On cue, there is a knock at her door. She looks through the peephole and sees it is Austin, so she answers it. Austin wants to know how she is? Greta says she is fine, today is a new day, so she's staring with a fresh slate. Austin knows she was upset last night, but Greta says she got over it. She then starts rambling on at high speed about how she is young and has so many possibilities for a wonderful future, and she's thinking about getting a job in an art museum or something. Austin eventually steers the conversation back to Eric. Greta says Eric is out of her life, she trusted him and thought she had a future with him, but she knows now that she doesn't. Greta tells Austin that she sees now that Eric still loves Nicole. Austin says that you can't stop caring about someone you were engaged to, but Greta says she can't stand feeling like she has to measure up to Nicole constantly. She tells Austin that she doesn't know how he got over Carrie's betrayal, but then again he is a man so perhaps he doesn't feel as deeply as women do. That pisses Austin off, and he tells her that she doesn't know him well enough to judge him that way! Greta says she is sorry, and he says it is okay because he has a lot of feeling bottled up inside, and it feels good to let them out. Austin then advises Greta to think long and hard before throwing away what she has with Eric.

Chloe tells Belle that she is in denial, and she tells Belle about the deal she offered Mimi. Belle tells Chloe that is ridiculous, she can be both her and Mimi's friend. Chloe says if Mimi doesn't get her act together than Bell will be Mimi's only friend. Belle wants to break their deal about going to the dance together, but Belle won't let her. Chloe tells her about her odd conversation with Phillip, but Belle says once you get by the snobby rich kid persona he can be okay. Chloe asks for an example, so Belle tells her how Phillip saved her at the last dance. Chloe says that Phillip probably did that to make himself look like a hero in her eyes. They talk about boys, and Belle says that her dad says when a guy teases you he is usually interested in you. She says that Shawn teases and makes fun of her (Belle), but she has a feeling that Shawn has a thing for her (CHloe). CHloe says that is not true, Shawn only hangs out with her because she can help him with his homework. Chloe says they are going as a group, so who cares if Shawn likes one of them. Belle asks if that means she's going, and Chloe says she will. However, Chloe says she knows Belle will get asked, but Belle says they probably won't, but even if she does go with a guy, she will have the rest of the girls. Chloe says she is the only one who talks to her, which is why Belle says it is important she goes with the others. Chloe tells herself that if Belle does get a date then she will suddenly get the flu. Belle and CHloe then head off to Dot.Com.

Shawn and Phillip meet at Dot.Com for the last game of their tournament. Shawn thinks any guy would be lucky to take Chloe to the dress, so Phillip suggests he give up now. Shawn says fine, he will.

Phillip says he didn't think it would end like this.

She changes her mind about this and leave, but they tell her that she is not going anywhere. She promises she won't say a word, and they tell her that she better keep her mouth shut because they know where she lives. Mimi runs off, and one of the guys says he knows what is up with her and she will be back when she gets desperate enough.

At Titan, Nicholas shows up and demands to see Victor. Marie says he is busy, so he asks if Kate is free? Marie says she is with Lucas. In her office, Kate remembers how close she and Nicholas came to making love the other night. Lucas walks in and asks his mom what she was thinking about, she looked a million miles away. Kate says she was thinking about Brandon Walker. Lucas asks why? Kate says that while he went to Green Mountain, Sami left Will with a baby sitter and went out with Brandon. Lucas is furious and says "So much for Sami's claim that nothing is more important than Will." Kate says that she's done some investigating, but Lucas says she didn't have to because Sami is out of their lives. Kate says that it will only remain that way as long as he has sole custody of Will. Lucas says he won't give up his son, no matter what anyone, including Nicole, say. Kate is furious and asks why he puts up with Nicole? Lucas says she is a woman and identifies with Sami, but Kate thinks Lucas lets Nicole push him around out of fear that she'll leave him. Lucas tells her to stop talking about Nicole, and asks what she found out about Sami? Kate says that Sami is on a mission to get her son back, and she thinks Sami will go pretty low to get dirt on one of them. Suddenly, Nicholas walks into the office and demands to talk to Kate alone. Lucas asks what right he has to be here? Nicholas says he is here to fight for the woman he loves. Lucas tells him to write to Dear Abby if he's having female trouble, this has nothing to do with his mother. Nicholas says his mother is his love life. Lucas realizes what is going on and exclaims "Oh my God!" Kate asks Lucas for a minute alone with Nicholas. Lucas can't believe this, and that his mother isn't even denying it. Lucas warns Nicholas, and then leaves. Kate asks Nicholas if he has completely lost his mind? Nicholas says he has, his mind and his heart. He says he loves her and he doesn't care who knows it. He tells Kate that the minute Victor gets back, he's going to tell him that he's in love with her.

In the photolab, Nicole can't stop thinking about what could be wrong with her. Eric looks in on Nicole, and walks in and confronts her about seeing Dr. Bader. Eric doesn't want to invade her privacy, but wonders if congratulations are in order? Nicole asks for what? Eric says he figured that she was pregnant. Nicole says she is not pregnant, but she wishes it was that simple. Nicole says she doesn't know what is wrong with her, but thinks it has to do with her past. When Eric probes her, she closes up. He says here we go again, she is shutting herself off to him again. She apologizes and says she is just scared. Eric holds Nicole, and she says "what if . . . . " Eric asks "What if what?" Eric asks if this could have anything to do with the mistakes she made in the past? Nicole almost tells Eric what her father made her do, but she doesn't. She says she should have known better, but she was just a kid. Nicole asks Eric to hold her. Suddenly, Lucas walks in and says "Hold me Eric?"

At the hospital, John asks Bo and Hope not to name the baby after him. Hope asks why this makes him feel so uncomfortable? John asks Hope to just drop it. He gives them some other ideas, such as Evan. Bo says that he read about Evan in a book Mrs. H. gave him, and it is derived from the Hebrew name John. Hope thinks it is a sign, so the baby will be named John. Dr. Bader comes in and tells Hope that she has their release papers for her. Hope asks if this means the baby can come home with her? Dr. Bader says no, not before they talk. Hope asks Dr. Bader if something is wrong with their son? Hope asks John if he can excuse them? He says of course, but spies on them. Hope says she wants to know if something is wrong with their son. While Bo is calming her down, John decides to find out what is wrong with the baby. Dr. Bader tells Hope and Bo that the baby is still irritable and not eating well, but Hope wants to take him home. Bo tells her that perhaps that isn't a good idea. He says maybe they should do as the doctor says. Hope agrees, but asks to see him before they leave.

At Titan, Kate tells Nicholas that he is mad, he has declared his undying love in front of Lucas and now he wants to tell Victor? Nicholas says that it is time for Victor to be honest about this life he and if forcing her to live, and if he doesn't do this then they will both regret it. Kate says Victor isn't forcing her to stay with him, but Nicholas feels he needs to fight for Kate. Kate says this isn't a fairy tale, and her hand has already been won. Nicholas knows, despite her protests, that she wants to be with him. He asks her to be honest with herself for once. Kate says she will never choose him over Victor, so this is pointless. She tells him that they'll never be together, and he'll never win her love. Kate then finally realizes what he's up to, if he can't get what he wants then he will make as many lives as miserable as possible. She tells him that he is a true Alamain, he is selfish and vindictive! Nicholas asks if she really believes that? Kate says if he goes to Victor then people will gossip about them. Nicholas says he doesn't care, but Kate says she does. Kate tells Nicholas if he really loves her then he will prove it by cooling it and doing what she asks. Nicholas walks out of Kate's office. Later, Kate has fantasies about Victor washing her back. He tells her that he never stopped loving her and he can't wait for them to get married and start their life together as a family. She also remembers a time when she and Victor were late to a party to spend some time in one another's arms. Kate hugs Nicholas' stuffed dog and hopes Nicholas will move on with his life and accept that hers is with Victor.

Victor's doctor comes to see him at his office because Victor feels more comfortable there. Victor tells his doctor that he thinks the drug he has been taking is actually working. Victor thinks he's starting to get some sensation back, and the doctor says it is possible that the impotency was caused by his stroke or the medications he was on. The doctor tells Victor what is important that he doesn't force himself. Later, Victor calls Marie into his office and asks her to clear Kate's calender without her knowing because he wants to take her away someplace special. Marie has a suggestion for him as she heard Kate talking about a photo shoot the other day and someplace she'd really love to go. She gives him the info on the place, and Victor thanks her. Victor hopes he'll be able to relax on a beautiful Hawaiian Island with his lovely Kate. Suddenly, Nicholas barges into Victor's office. Victor is not pleased and tells Nicholas never to do that again, and in the future if he wants to see him to make an appointment. Nicholas tells Victor that he wants to talk about an important topic, his impotence.

In the photo lab, Lucas overhears Nicole ask Eric to hold her. Eric tells Lucas that this is not what he thinks, he can explain. Lucas tells Eric to get his damn hands off his wife, and begins shoving Eric. They almost come to blows until Nicole butts her way in between them to stop them from throwing punches. Nicole asks Eric to leave so she can talk to Lucas, so he does. Nicole tells Lucas that he made a fool of himself, Eric was only comforting her. Lucas says that is not his job, his job is to take pictures. Lucas says she told him when they married that she was over Eric, but he guesses that is not the case. He tells her the only reason she asked him to rehire Eric is so she could spend as much time possible with him, and he finally gets the message. Nicole wants to explain, but Lucas says there is no explanation needed. He says he's given her everything, but it just isn't good enough. Lucas says the only thing he wants from her is fidelity, and she can't even give him that. He wonders what kind of marriage this is. Lucas goes to walk out, but Nicole stops him and tells him that Eric was comforting her because she went to the doctor today, and she's scared. Lucas asks her why, so she explains what happened at the Blue Note last night. Nicole says that Eric came in her today to see if she was okay, and she was scared and wanted a hug. Lucas asks why she didn't tell him because he would have gone with her. Lucas asks if she is pregnant? Nicole says no she's not pregnant, but something is wrong with her. Lucas asks what is wrong? Nicole says she was going to talk to him about it, but she's changed her mind. Lucas comments "You can talk to Eric but not your own husband!" Nicole says she can talk to anyone but him. She tells him that he promised to take care of her, but anywhere outside the bedroom he treats her just like his mother does! She says that both Kate and Victor embarrass her, and he stands by and lets them do it. Now, she says, he is embarrassing her too, and she asks him for one reason not to walk away from this marriage? Lucas apologizes for embarrassing her and for doubting her, and he tells her that he'll help her deal with whatever is wrong with her because he loves her. He says he is sorry, but Nicole says his apologizes are meaningless because this will happen again the next time he sees her talking to Eric. She says she's surprised he hasn't thrown her past in her face, but she's sure that is coming to. Lucas says he would never judge anyone for their past mistakes, but they both know Eric would. Still, Lucas says she is always confiding in him. Nicole tells Lucas that he is never there for her. When he tries to hold her, she yells at him to stay away from her, and she runs out of the room.

They run into Greta, and ask her to join them, but she says no thanks, she just came to get some CDs. Greta has bought some piano music and a copy of Snow White. Greta says she identifies with Snow White because she ran away from Stefano like Snow White ran away from the Queen. Greta leaves, and Chloe and Belle watch the crowd. They wonder who won, and Chloe hopes it wasn't Phillip because he's arrogant enough as is. Belle tells Chloe to try and be nice to Phillip, it might help her get along better with him.

Meanwhile, Shawn wins the videogame tournament. Jason tells him that he has to ask CHloe to the dance in front of everyone, and she's here right now.

" Belle tells Phillip he hasn't gotten his final answer, and drags Chloe off. They talk and Belle convinces Chloe that she wants to go to the dance with Phillip. Chloe thinks this is strange, because Shawn and Phillip have both asked her about the dance, and she gets the feeling that something is not right. Belle says that Phillip is just trying to help people see how special and terrific she is, and she thinks it is incredibly sweet and romantic. She begs Chloe to say yes.

Meanwhile, Phillip talks with Jan, Jason, and Shawn about Chloe. Shawn says thinks Chloe would be a great date, but Phillip doesn't agree. Jan says they should rent that movie Carrie and see if art can imitate life, or in this case if life can imitate art. Shawn doesn't like this idea at all. Phillip tells Shawn if he likes Chloe so much then she can take her, but he is to stay away from Belle! Shawn asks what is up with him and Belle? Jason tells Shawn that Phillip wants to be crowned King, but he can only be crowned King with Belle on his arm. Phillip prays that CHloe will say no to his offer.

Greta says that she saw how he looked at Nicole last night, and she saw love in his eyes when he was looking at Nicole. Eric says he was only concerned about her, and says for the last time he is not in love with Nicole and she can either except that or leave it, and then he walks out. Greta says it is up to Eric, and she'll have to wait and see what his next move is. Greta then opens the bag from Dot.Com and looks at the copy of Snow White she bought. She wonders why Eric is doing this.

Eric goes to a video store to buy Snow White for Greta. He asks the guy for Snow White, and he says oh yeah, we have that one.
