Hope tries to persuade Bo not to do this, but his mind is made up. Meanwhile Billie and Franco have gone to the Cheating Heart where they are playing pool, but all Billie can do is remember about the good times with Bo. Franco excuses himself to make a call, and calls his mysterious boss. He informs his boss about the situation, and that Billie has no idea what's in store for her. Just then Bo and Hope arrive, and Bo noticed the bandage on Franco's wrist. Billie explains he cut himself on the thorns of some roses he picked for her, but Bo doesn't believe him.

Sami tells the judge a big sob story about how long it's taken her and Austin to finally find their way to each other, and that their son means more to them than anything. The judge is impressed by her honesty (Ha!) and tells her she has shed some new light on the case and he will take it into great consideration. When Sami returns to the Hotel everyone is steamed at her and wants to know where she's been. She tells them that she went sight seeing because she couldn't bear to be there waiting around for the social workers to show up. The social workers then show up and Sami and Austin play the sad couple while they take Will away. The social workers tell Sami and Austin that the judge would like to see them AND Carrie. Sami isn't pleased about this and becomes worried. In the judges chambers he tells Sami and Austin that he has thought long and hard about this case, and that Sami's visit helped him come to a decision, which is final. The show ends with Austin and Carrie looking at Sami.

Just as the judge is about to give his verdict a phone call interrupts and he must leave to take care of something urgent. Marlena shows up and sneaks into the chamber. Austin, Sami, and Carrie get into a fight over Sami's visit to the judge. Marlena tells Sami she loves her, but can't understand how she can be so hurtful to Carrie and Austin. Sami claim she is only doing what she needs to keep her family together, and she doesn't really care what anyone else thinks. The judge returns and tells them that Sami's words truely convinced him that she and Austin love each other, and he sees no reason why they can't take Will back to Salem. Carrie throws it back in Sami's face when she apologizes to Sami and she thanks her because without her little scheme the judge may not have made the decision he did. Kristen, John, Jen, and Peter have lunch at the Paris cafe. Jennifer brings up the hearing with Austin and Carrie, and John says Marlena has gone to be with them. Jennifer says how caring Marlena is. Kristen slips and says she wants a white wine, and everyone looks at her. Then she says it's the pressure, and of course she can't have wine. John and Jennifer go off and leave Peter and Kristen alone for awhile. John asks Jen how she will explain to Abby why she and Jack aren't together (he claims to be curious as to what he will tell Belle in the future). Jen says Abby is to young to understand, and that sometime she doesn't understand. John asks rhetorical that she still loves Jack. Jen brushes it off, but he says she should accept it and move on, then Jen asks if he is talking about Marlena. Jen tells John how much she misses Abby, but Maggi is coming to Paris tomorrow to visit Mickey, and she is brining Abby and then Jen, Peter, and Abby are going on a 6 month cruise. Peter and Kristen wallow in self pity about how they had to scheme to keep the ones they love John takes Kristen back to the room where she takes a nap.

She says the baby is dead, and John hears it. Daniel has been running from goons all day in Paris but is eventually caught. Jack finds out where Daniel is. Daniel is in his hotel room, tied up, and being beaten senseless by some the goons. Jacks offers to pay his debts if he tells him what he wants to know about Peter.

On Wednesday, Hope is alone on the boat preparing for her upcoming wedding [meaning going through stuff and tossing things out -- whatever that has to do with preparing for a wedding] when she comes across an old video of Bo and Billie. Unable to resist, Hope takes a look. Hope is surprised to see how happy and very much in love they were. Although she tries not to let it bother her, Hope can't help but wonder if unattached Billie could be a threat. [Hope has a heart-to-heart with Alice, who is not sure that inviting Billie to the wedding is such a good idea.] Meanwhile, Kate is not convinced that Billie has moved on in her life. She still has those unresolved feelings for Bo. [Kate is surprised to hear that the man in Billie's life is Franco Kelly. He stops by to show Kate his portfolio, and ends up visiting with Billie and going down to Victor's stables, where he tries to teach her how to ride a horse. Things get steamy as Franco tells Billie how to mount, and helps to show her how to move in the saddle. Bo (who came to see Victor) and Kate walk in at an inopportune moment. Hope arrives shortly afterwards to deliver the wedding invitations. Kate is not certain that Franco is the man for Billie, but she is impressed with his work, including a striking photo of Franco with blue eyes. He explains that sometimes he wears contact lenses during photo shoots to achieve a different look.] Jack finally gets the information from Daniel that will prove to Jennifer that Peter is a DiMera through and through [he forces Daniel to put it in writing before he pays off his debts]. Jack immediately passes the information along to Jennifer [who was about to spend a final evening in Paris with Peter before they leave on their cruise], and of course she doesn't want to believe it. Jack tells Jennifer that he has proof, and then he brings in Daniel. [Daniel tells her every word is true. Peter tries to discount Jack's attempt to discredit him, but he's sweating bullets and wonders if his time is up.] Vivian demands that Ivan get her out of prison *now* [and she tunnels over to Ivan's cell because she can't stand to be in this place any longer.] Before Ivan can explain the situation to Vivian, Ivan's new cellmate gives an exciting twist to the situation [he insists on escaping with them, or he'll turn them in], with some interesting information about someone in Salem [sounds like he knows someone there.]
