Austin and Carrie are at home in bed when Sami tries to call Austin, but Carrie tells him to let the machine get it, and instead of leaving a message Sami hangs up. At the hospital Lucas comes to see Sami, and she says she really wants to go home to Austin. Mike comes in and tells Sami the physical therapist has arrived and wants to start her rehab session, but Sami says she can't do it. Mike tells her she must go through the therapy if she hopes to walk, but Sami says she can't go through it without Austin. Sami tries to call Austin one more time, and this time Austin answers when Sami continues to ask him to pick up the phone over the machine. Sami tells him they are starting the therapy today, and Austin tells her he'll come right over to the hospital, which doesn't please Carrie. Sami tells Austin she loves him, and tells him she can't recall the last time he told her he loved her. Austin then tells Sami he loves her, which really doesn't please Carrie! Austin apologizes to Carrie and tells her not to forget they belong together. Austin gets ready to head to the hospital and Carrie says she'll go by the office and talk to Kate.

Kristen wakes up and John isn't in the bed, and she wonders if he has left her for Marlena. Kristen gets up to search for him, and downstairs she finds a bouquet of flowers, and John brings her out some breakfast. John tells Kristen he loves her and is sorry to make her feel insecure, and he tells her that after she eats her breakfast they can go to the hospital to see John Jr. Kristen tells John she knows know he loves her, and John says that he thinks that Vivian is behind all of this hogwash, and Kristen says it was just a big misunderstanding. John then says he so glad Marlena is going to be the baby's godmother, and Kristen says "Oh yeah."

Austin arrives at the hospital and they go to get started on their session. Sami tries to walk along the parallel bars with Austin's help, but when she can't Sami says she'll never walk again. Austin takes Sami aside to give her a little pep talk to boost her spirit. Austin tells Sami she has to get better so she can play with Will, and when Sami says she really wants to dance with Austin, Austin says they will go dancing one day.

Vivian and Ivan arrive at the DiMera Mansion thinking that Marlena has told John everything and Kristen is probably a miserable wreck by now. Vivian barges in and John tells her she's not welcomed here and he won't have anymore of her lies filling Kristen's head. Vivian is shocked, and says she was wrong and she's sorry. John tells Vivian they are going to the hospital, but Kristen says she's not ready to go just yet, and she'll meet John at the hospital. After John is gone Susan explains that John is committed to her so Marlena didn't tell him! Vivian says thank god they were married by a priest, and when Ivan says John and Susan were married by a priest Kristen tells him to shut up! Vivian reminds Kristen she's still not in the clear as long as Susan is around, and Kristen knows she'll have to get rid of Susan somehow.

John goes to visit John Black Jr., and talks about Marlena and how if she still loved him the temptation would be to great. He also tells John Jr. he loves Kristen and is committed to her. Finally he tells the baby to always follow his heart, and John remembers making love to Marlena in the past. Vivian and Ivan show up at the hospital and sees John with "his" son. Vivian comments that Kristen better take care of Susan if she's going to keep this sharade up, and Ivan says "But Madamn that woman is soooooooooo wired!" John comes out of the nursery to see Vivian, and tells her to just back off of Kristen.

Marlena is at her penthouse looking at her brooch and thinking how she thought she'd be able to wear it again last night when John returned to her. Marlena says she needs John so much, and wishes there was some way he could be free. Suddenly she hears someone downstairs runs to it hoping it's John, but it was Laura leaving a special breakfast for John and Marlena. Marlena tells Laura John isn't here, and explains everything to her. Laura tells Marlena John wouldn't take the vows to Kristen seriously if he knew about the lies and deceit, and that it's the 90's, people get divorced every days. Marlena says John would never do that, and she can't ask him to break those vows. Marlena tell Laura that John and Kristen's marriage was legitimate in the eyes of the church, and the only way out of the marriage was if something was wrong, which Marlena think there wasn't.

Susan is upset about her situation and thinks Marlena will be able to help her and calls Marlena. Laura picks up the phone and Susan asks to speak with Marlena (Her full name is Susan Banks). Marlena tells Susan to meet her at her office in the hospital and hangs up. Laura says at least this will keep her mind off "that woman" and Marlena says Kristen will reveal herself in time. Carrie shows up at the penthouse to see how everything went with John, and Marlena has to explain the whole situation to Carrie. Carrie wants Marlena to tell Kristen, but Marlena is sure in time Kristen will destroy the marriage somehow. Marlena and Carrie hug, and tells her that her situation with John is unlike hers and Austin's situation, and says in the end love will win. Carrie, Marlena, and Laura all go to the hospital (Carrie to see Sami, Marlena to see Susan, and Laura to do paperwork).

At Susan's apartment Susan is getting ready to leave to see Marlena when Kristen shows up. Kristen asks Susan if she is packed and ready to leave for an island in the Caribbean, but Susan doesn't want to leave the baby. Kristen threatens Susan with Stefano's name and when Susan says this is so unfair Kristen makes a little kiddy pouty face and says "Sometimes life isn't fair and you have to roll with the punches." Susan tells Kristen she'll leave, but has some things to do. Kristen gives her some more money and tells her to call her once she's arrived on her Island. Kristen leaves, not knowing the entire time Marlena's card was right in front of her face on the table! After Kristen is gone Susan leaves to see Marlena.

Kristen shows up at the hospital and runs into John and Vivian, and as they celebrate the fact that Susan is off to the Caribbean Laura shows up and sees them hugging. Laura tells Kristen she is happy for her son, and when Kristen walks of Laura tells Vivian she knows the two of them are up to something. Laura also says she feels Kristen was involved in her disappearance and one day she'll remember (little does she know Kristen is right around the corner and heard Laura's speculations!). Laura is beeped away, and when Vivian asks Kristen what that was about she tells her she doesn't want to know. John then shows up with some pictures of the baby, and has extra's for Marlena. John and Kristen then decide to pay Marlena a visit to drop off the pictures!

In her office Marlena is trying to find something wrong with John's wedding, but can't come up with anything. Susan eventually arrives, and begins to tell Marlena how she's gone through an awful time lately. Marlena asks Susan to tell her everything that happened, and reminds her what she says is in confidence.

Carrie shows up at Sami's room and finds Lucas on her bed reading. Lucas tries to comfort Carrie, and says if he had a woman like her he wouldn't leave her for anything. Carrie says Austin always has time for her, and leaves to go see Sami. Meanwhile Sami is sitting in the whirlpool tub after her session, and she asks Austin to join her. Austin says he doesn't think it's a good idea because it's for medical purposes, but Sami manages to talk him into it. As they both sit in the tub Carrie shows up, and just then Sami asks Austin to tell him he loves her face to face, and he does. Then she asks him to kiss her, and as they kiss Carrie is shocked!

Hope shows up at Titan for a photo shoot, and Franco can see she is upset. He asks her what is bothering her, and she says she heard Bo tell Billie he loved her on the pier. At Billie's place Billie fantasizes that Bo wakes up and chooses to pursue a relationship with her, but it's only a fantasy. Bo comes out of the back room and tells Billie that Abe is finalizing her papers for the witness protection program. Suddenly the phone rings, and thinking it's Abe Bo answers, but it's Franco calling for Billie! Franco asks Billie to reschedule the appointment because Hope is upset, and Billie tells him to go ahead and reschedule it. Franco thanks her and hangs up, and Hope is in shock that Bo spent the night at Billie's. Back at Billie's Bo thinks Hope probably thinks they slept together, and Billie apologizes for the trouble she's caused. Bo vows to bust King and will do anything he has to to bring him down.

At King's office despite the fact that King knows Bo spent the night at Billie's he thinks something is wrong, and the best thing to do would be to take Bo, Billie, and Hope out immediately

Bo meets Abe on the pier and Bo asks Abe to get Billie in the protection program as soon as possible, but Abe says they have to stay cool. Abe knows Bo wants to end this whole thing and explain the situation to hope, but if Bo gets sloppy King could kill them all. Bo tells Abe that Hope learned he spent the night at Billie's and hates what he's doing to her, but Abe tells him if he doesn't stay focused on the case they could all be in danger.

Billie comes to Titan and Franco asks her how she got back together with Bo so soon, and Billie tells him to drop it. Billie asks about Hope, and learns that she's still in the building helping Keith with the lighting on a shoot. Billie decides to go to work in her mom's office to avoid Hope, but as she goes to leave Hope returns and the two meet face to face. Billie tells Hope she's sorry abut the situation, and Hope tells her she's finally got what she want. Hope says she was the one who pushed Bo away, so she doesn't blame or hate Billie. She says she won't pretend she's not hurt or angry, because she had been hoping for a life with him, but obviously Bo doesn't want that anymore. Billie almost tells Hope the truth, but Hope doesn't want to talk anymore and runs off.

Later Bo is confronted by Max, and Bo tells him not to talk to him while he's on the beat or he will blow their little partnership. Max leaves, and Bo calls Billie and tells her that she'll be leaving for the witness protection program soon and they'll come up with a cover story. Billie tells Bo she ran into Hope, and she's really hurting. Billie wants to tell her the truth but Bo says that as long as Hope doesn't know about the situation she won't be in danger.

Bo meets Abe again later on, and Abe says everything is set up for Billie to leave Salem. Meanwhile a cop has been shot while working without back-up, and the word spreads through town. Billie and Hope hear about it at Titan, and Billie imagines Bo being killed and is frightened. Billie thinks that if Hope knew about Bo she could work with him, so she decides she must tell Hope the truth.

Max returns to King, and says Bo was uptight about seen with him, and that Billie used to be a junkie, so they can be trusted. King says he's going to put Bo through a few more tests, and if he fails all three die.

At the nursery Kristen asks Vivian to help her to make sure that Susan gets onto the plane to the Caribbean, and give Susan a shot to help her stop lactating. Vivian refuses to do it for her, but Kristen tells her if she doesn't she'll vote her out of Titan. Vivian reminds her that she has enough info on Kristen to blow her fairy tale sky high, but Kristen says Stefano wouldn't like that. Vivian doesn't want to take the chance that he is alive, and agrees to somehow get Susan the anti-lactation shot/drug.

John has just gotten the baby pictures developed, and wants to go give some to Marlena. Marlena however is talking to Susan at the time! Susan tells Marlena she needs her help and doesn't know what to do. Marlena says that their talks are confidential, and tells Susan to just start at the beginning. Susan tells Marlena that she got into a situation which she can't get out of, and things keep getting worse and worse and it hurts her so much. Marlena asks if it is her husband, but Susan flashes to her wedding to John and says her husband is the sweetest man and wishes Marlena could meet him. Marlena asks if her marriage broke up, and she tells Marlena it's complicated, that he's with another women. Marlena tells Susan she understands that pain, and that what Susan needs to do is sort out her feelings and pain, and to work through them. Marlena offers to help Susan with this, and Susan thanks her because she thought if she talked to anyone about this they'd think she was bad. Marlena says she won't judge Susan, she will help her work through her problems. Marlena then asks about her husband and their courtship, but Susan just cries and says she can't talk about it. Suddenly Marlena is buzzed by her secretary, John and Kristen have arrived to give her the baby photo's. Marlena asks Susan to stay right there, and she steps out to see John and Kristen. Inside Marlena's office Susan phones Kristen from Marlena's phone, and tells Kristen she won't leave without seeing her baby one more time. Kristen steps out of Marlena's office and asks Susan where she is, and she says she's out. She tells Susan to get home because Vivian is on her way over. Eventually Marlena returns to Susan, and Susan asks if the picture of the baby she has in her hand is of someone special, and Marlena says it's of a baby she cares a lot about. Marlena says it's time to make a follow up appointment, but Susan says she doesn't think she can help her because the one person she loved was taken away. Marlena asks if that person is her husband, and Susan says no, but she took him too. Marlena asks who, but Susan says she has to go, and is moving out of town.

The two go out onto the terrace to talk, and John tells her what Vivian told him about Marlena still loving him because he (John) gave her crossed signals, and asks her if she still has feelings for him.

Back in her room Sami says she must regain her memory, and has to do something to trigger it. Austin goes into Sami's room to try and break the news to her that he'll be going away for a few days, but when he goes inside a nurse tells Sami that everything is set up.
