Brandon is lifting weights, mutters something about Abe, and makes a phone call. Shyster lawyer Benny comes over wanting his money as things are just dragging on for too long. Brandon puts him off. The phone rings, and it is Sami, wanting to meet with Brandon right away. He leaves.

Chloe, in her room, has flashback of her & Philip outside kissing. She says she must be weird, otherwise she would not be doing this. She is dressed all in black, (leather jacket and pants) and finishes zipping a backpack. We see her pedaling along on her bike. Meanwhile, Brady is laying amongst some shrubs against a fence. He flashes back to being mugged and beaten, and Chloe coming to help. He is bleeding, and looks up to see Chloe arriving on the bike. He won't let her call 911, so she tends to his wounds with the first aid items she brought in the backpack. They see headlights, and scrunch down, as Abe & Roman stop to shine a light in their direction. After Roman and Abe leave, Chloe gets Brady to sit up on the handlebars, and she pedals to the emergency entrance to the hospital. Brady passes out, Chloe runs into the hospital for help, and when she returns with a nurse, Brady and the bike are gone.

Philip returns home to hear the sound of muffled voices, arguing, in the parlor. He doesn't hear what is said and goes upstairs to see his father. They have a nice conversation over tea about Chloe, young love, and Victor tells him to "be true to who you are", and that this first love may not be the one he will ultimately end up with, as he will grow and change and so will Chloe. Philip asks Victor when he and Kate will get married. Victor makes flimsy excuses about how he & Kate are becoming reacquainted, and Philip cannot understand this.

Downstairs the argument between Nicole, Lucas and Kate is escalating. After Nicole reveals she was paid to marry Lucas, (who turned on Kate and got her in a choke hold) Kate breaks away. Kate says Lucas should not complain, as he had the services of a high priced whore for over a year. Nicole retaliates, saying Kate has cornered the market on that description, crawling into bed with Victor and exploiting his wealth, and that she should have held out for even more money to marry Lucas. She continues to rub it in about their involvement with Franco's death, how she wants it all for revenge. She leaves to go upstairs and visit with Victor a bit. Lucas and Kate discuss how they can squirm out of this situation, and again talk of getting Victor to sign over everything to Kate. They agree that, even then, Victor has to die first, before they can reap the benefits. Philip is standing in the doorway....and demands to know what the blazes they mean!

When Angela awakens, asking what she is doing, Sami mumbles something about seeing the light on and coming in to turn it off. She says she was at her grandparents and talks about how she used to love going there as a kid...then initiates a pillow fight with Angela, who is not amused. She leaves to fix her giant tin can curler that came loose, and Sami finds the key in Angela's purse. She decides to put it back, Angela returns, they say goodnight, and Sami calls Brandon to meet her. They are next seen in Brandon's car (who has meanwhile gone to the train station and rented a locker to get a sample key), and he decides to stop at the diner to say hi to his mom.

Roman and Abe are searching for Brady now that a warrant has been issued for his arrest. They near the diner and decide to stop for coffee. Inside, Hattie is in a booth, talking to Faye. Her ex-boss comes over, with his insulting remarks. She shows him she has lost 20 lbs. He says if she loses 10 more, she can have her job back, but with restrictions on her alone. She tells him to shove it. Hattie tells Faye about her impending nose job, and how it will look like Dr. Marlena's. The door opens and the two cops come in. Hattie gets all flustered seeing Roman, and does a bit of flirting. Faye goes to pour coffee for Abe, who tells her she must tell Brandon the truth. That Abe knows Faye is Brandon's mother.

Roman's cell phone rings, and the emergency room nurse at the hospital is calling to tell him about the girl saying Brady was seriously injured and in the parking lot. He says keep the girl there, and detain Brady if he shows up to see Belle, and dashes out. He tells Hattie to tell Abe he will send a car for him. He leaves, and Brandon & Sami enter the diner. Sami sees the back of Hattie's head, and says "Oh, there's my mother, I am going to say hello", then gets really startled as it turns out to be Hattie, who gets up, turns around and rushes out. Brandon is furious to see Abe with his mother, grabs him and pulls his fist back as Sami yells his name to stop him.

Philip demands to know what Kate meant about Victor dying but she convinces him he misunderstood him. On the boat with Abby, Annie and Bo, Jennifer explains to Bo that she can't go back to Salem because of her daughter. When the wind picks up, Jennifer is suddenly tossed overboard.

She hides the pills and then receives a call on her phone from Declan who warns that a huge storm is brewing. After Annie fails to tell Bo about the warning, Bo and Jennifer panic when they see enormous waves approaching. After the doctor gives her some good news, Hope finds Lexie and informs her that she can take J.T. home in the next day or two. She thanks Lexie for saving her son's life. Roman questions Chloe about Brady and learns about the beating he suffered. She admits that if he's strong enough, she thinks Brady would leave Salem. Marlena and Roman learn that Belle is about to be "removed" from her induced coma. Belle comes to but is too tired to reveal what happened on the train tracks. Chloe calls Philip for a ride home. When he arrives, she explains how she tried to help Brady and now thinks that he's innocent of the charges against him. The two stop and take advantage of a romantic setting. Kissing her passionately, Philip's frustrated when she pulls back. John brings Brady to a motel where he promises he'll protect him. Faye forces Abe and Brandon outside the diner and tells Brandon the truth. Brandon threatens to reveal Abe's past but Abe insists that Brandon's father deserves to be in prison.

Well, it's a new day in the Garden of Eden. Austin and Greta wake up as the sun rises. She feels weak and tired and Austin realizes that she has a fever. He yells for help, telling Charles that Greta needs a doctor. They hear Charles' voice telling them to head for the door. As they look around, a door magically appears and they go through it...right into the castle. They wonder if it's over. Charles comes in and asks them if they are ready to end their journey. Greta gets upset because she thought it was over. He offers them a deal...they can quit now and she will receive her title and the estate, but not the extra money for the orphanage. They find out that if they fail, Charles gets the money. Greta gets mad and wants to continue. Charles tells them that they won't make it...it's only going to get harder but she and Austin are determined. Back through the door they go, falling through space. When they land in the garden, they find another golden envelope. This one says "perseverance." Austin laughs and says it should say "stubborn."

Shawn is at the penthouse arguing with Willy the doorman. He finally lets Shawn in and later he leaves with something. He arrives at the hospital and goes to see Belle, leaving her Buddy Bear by her side. He goes to leave and hears her say "don't go." He is excited to see she is out of her coma and sits by her bed and they talk. He even tells her that he will refrain from the hair comments for a while, but tells her "nice hat" referring to her bandages. He talks about what happened and how afraid she must have been. But Belle claims doesn't remember anything about any accident and doesn't know what he is talking about.

Earlier, John had arrived at the hospital and opened Belle's door to find Marlena by her bedside, both asleep. He talked to the doctor and finds out that Belle is out of her coma. He is relieved about her condition and asked if Belle said anything strange and asked if Roman Brady had been there. After talking, he tells the doctor that he is going to get something to eat and leaves. Later, Marlena is awake, getting coffee and Roman arrives. The doctor tells them about John being there and leaving. Meanwhile, Brady awakens at the no-tell motel and finds a note from John. It says that he is going by the hospital and then to the police station. Brady panics and thinks that John is going to turn him in and goes to leave and passes out at the door. John comes back and when he opens the door, whacks Brady in the head and says "what the hell?" He looks in and sees Brady, goes in and carries him back to bed. John assures him that he would never turn him in. He gives him an update on Belle and tells him about Roman looking for him. He tells him not to worry, that he will take care of Roman.

Brady makes a snide comment about Roman just wanting to get Marlena back in the sack. John makes him promise to stay put and leaves. Brady wants to go to the hospital and be there for Belle. Back at the hospital, Marlena and Roman discuss what the police are up to. Roman assures her that they are doing the right thing. She tells him that despite everything, she loves John and doesn't want to turn on him. She is sorry she dragged Roman into all of this. He points out that Brady broke the rules and must pay. Roman tells her that he is just doing his job and then leaves. John arrives and he and Marlena just stare at each other from across the room at first. She asks where he was last night, and he couldn't be there for his daughter. He tells her that "something came up", which pisses her off. She asks if he is hiding Brady somewhere and he refuses to talk about that. They argue and then John wants to go see Belle and hear what she has to say. Roman comes back and asks about Brady as John refuses to answer him and goes in to see Belle. Roman tells Marlena that they got a call from a motel manager and they have cops there right now. She hugs him and thanks him. Back at the motel, Brady turns on the radio and hears a news bulletin about himself. He looks outside and sees the cops. He rushes to the bathroom to sneak out the window, but the windows have a metal mesh over them outside. He panics.
