At the hospital, John suspects the twins were engineered by Stefano. Marlena says the twins are human, and the way they are is possibly due to growing up in a sterile environment without love and human contact. John still wonders what they were sent here to do, other than destroy them all. Marlena says these twins are victims, not weapons. John demands Marlena learn where the other key is, but Marlena says not until they come to trust them. Marlena tells John that he has to be patient. Marlena decides to go check on Belle at the dorms, but John refuses to go because he doubts she wants to see him right now. Later, John goes to see the twins and he introduces himself. They don�t trust him because they saw him with the key. John and Rex shake hands, and John is stunned by the bracelet Rex is wearing. John pulls out the key, and Rex freaks out. John tells him to take it easy, he�s not going to hurt them. John explains that he wants to free them, he wants to unlock their wristbands. John snaps the key into the wristband and manages to get it off Rex. Cassie lets John take hers off, and when he does, he sees phoenix tattoos on their wrists! Marlena returns from taking Belle to school (see below) and learns about the tattoos. She calms John down, who thinks the twins are the beginning of the end for them all.
Belle and Shawn are packing for school, and Belle is still angry at her father for what he�s done. Shawn thinks John will not let harm come to the aliens and he�s only doing this because he cares of about her. Shawn just wishes she would focus on something other than the twins, like him, after all he stayed here for her. She says she didn�t ask him to stay, and he tells her not to make him regret it! Shawn ask Belle if they are going to let the twins take over their lives and continue to come between them? Belle says she guesses he is, so Shawn says he�s out of here and takes off. Marlena arrives, and thinks Belle is upset about moving out, but she says she�s not. Marlena says she�s been put in charge of Rex and Cassie�s care, and she won�t let anything happen to them. Belle is happy, and she says she doesn�t blame her for any of this, she blames dad. Marlena says he is only trying to protect them, but Belle says she�s just tired of him trying to protect them from everything. Marlena asks Belle if she knows what has happened to the key. Belle says she doesn�t, the last time she saw it Rex had it. Marlena says it is possible that Stefano brought the twins here. Belle wonders how Stefano could make aliens come to Salem? Marlena says the twins are actually human, but they have been genetically engineered. Belle says Stefano has done some horrible things to dad, so why can�t he understand how Cassie and Rex feel. Marlena says they just have to be careful, that is all. Belle thinks her mom is now of her father�s side, and she will never be allowed to see the twins again. Marlena says that is not so, it will be awhile before she can see them, but she will see them again. Marlena says she needs time alone with them to help them speak. Belle tells his mom about the fight she and Shawn just got into over the twins. Marlena says perhaps Shawn is just focusing on the school and himself, something she should also be doing.
Shawn heads to the dorms, and Bo helps him move in. Hope calls him to say hello and how proud she is of him. She is also happy he�s staying in Salem. Later, Bo asks if Belle is here, and Shawn says he�d be surprised if she showed up. Bo moves Shawn into his room, and Shawn tells Bo about the fight he and Belle had. Later, Belle and Marlena do show up, and they learn Caprice is now living in the dorm as the RA and she is attending school. Belle thinks that is great, as long as they keep their relationship a secret. Belle learns her roommate won�t be here for awhile, and as Mimi goes through her purse, Marlena almost sees the blue key. Shawn meets his roommate Tommy Dozer, as in Bulldozer. Bo and Marlena say goodbye to the kids, who are growing up. Later, Belle tells Shawn about the twins, and that they are allowed to focus on them again. Then, in walks Cynthia, who is living here. Cynthia says this place is nicknamed heartbreak house, and she tells Mimi that shawn and Belle picked the wrong dorm!

Phillip says Nico will find her father, so Chloe asks him to have Nico look for Brady as well. Phillip says he can do that. Phillip hates feeling like Chloe doesn�t trust him. Chloe says she knows how she feels now, she asked him to trust her but he couldn�t because he was so jealous. Chloe says she�s worried about her life and that is all she can think about right now, Brady understands that why can�t he? Phillip says he is just as worried about her too. Chloe says things have changed for her because of this illness. Phillip asks if she is saying she no longer loves him? Chloe says she doesn�t want him out of her life, but he is going away to college. Phillip says he if goes away, will he come back to find her with Brady?

Brady says that is a very good question. The sheriff says it was a judgment call. The judge says there still aren�t any witnesses, but Chloe says there is. She asks Phillip to tell them that everything she has said is true. Phillip claims it is all true, which makes the Sheriff mad. Phillip says he will pay for any expenses incurred by the court, and the Sheriff asks if he thinks money is the answer to everything? Phillip says no sir, and Brady�s case is dismissed. Brady thanks Chloe, and she gives him a hug. Chloe suggests they leave before they change their minds. They leave, and Brady is suspicious of Phillip. Brady gets a shower, and later learns that Chloe and Phillip were planning to return to Salem.

She doesn�t think she is ready for this assignment, so the Mayor tells him that she is welcomed whenever she feels ready. Later, Bo asks Billie why she turned him down? Billie says she doesn�t want to leave him, and she is pretty sure that the mayor is interested in her for other than her professional skills.
