Replay of Marelna and Kristen fighting over the gun, with Brady busting in. Marlena pushes Kristen back, and out the window Kristen goes. Brady calls out after her; he tells Marlena to stay there, and goes out out the front door. Marlena flashes back to 1997 and the misadventure in the secret room, as well as Kristen's other recent exits.
In the nursery, replay of Melanie telling Jeannie T that the baby is her (Ms Donovan's) son. Jeannie picks the baby up and they are attempting to sneak out when Mandrake grabs Melanie's leg. Jeannie kicks him in the back, disabling him, and they flee.
Jennifer calls Daniel to cancel their meeting because something came up. Has to go visit her mom, who's having minor surgery. She'll be back tomorrow. They talk about JJ/Eve and Jen has flashbacks.
At the hotel, JJ and Paige are planning another tryst. She texts Daphne and he goes to text Jen. Is upset by a text from her, calls Jen, finds out about her trip, updates her that he won't be home tonight. Admits he's at a hotel with Paige, she asks if Eve knows. JJ says that Eve knows they're together, but not about tonight. They wax poetic about whether or not Eve needs the grisly details, how awesome Paige is, and how great Jen was to do what she did. Paige wants to know, "What did your mom do for us?" He tells most of the truth, about how his mom believed in him, and helped him after he "screwed up."
At "Edge of the Square," Eve is enjoying a Martini and thinking about JJ & his guitar. Rafe comes over and Eve is upset about the guitarist tuning in public, reminds her of a guy she knew. She rants about her drink being empty, the bartender calling her "ma'am," demands to see the manager. Rafe introduces himself, she apologises; she claims she likes the club, except for the guitar players. Rafe declares the guy who made her hate guitars was dumb, they have a nice chat and they both laugh, before he goes to talk to the guitar player. Rafe gives her drinks on the house.
At another hotel room, Xander and Serena are giggling in the afterglow. She finds a box on the nightstand, and Xander makes her a proposal about an adventure. Turns out, it's a flashback, Serena is in the pub, regretting her decision; further flashing back indicates that she had some trepidation over the "adventure" and in the present day she's glad it's almost over.
Nicole has a flashback to cancelling her lunch with Daniel, whom she labels a "jerk." Xander knocks on her door. Xander wants to smooth things over between her & Daniel. (It appears that Xander's hair is shorter in these scenes than in the scenes with Serena, good job make-up dept!!)
The dynamic duo come downstairs with Christopher, interrupting Marlena's flashbacks. Marlena asks what they're doing here, Mel sees the window & worries that Brady took the window dive, Marlena explains it was Kristen. Is befuddled by the bundle Jeannie T is carrying, but Melanie will explain later, insists they scoot out of the castle. Brady enters, reports it's a 100-foot drop, no way Kristen could have survived, insists they hang out until the police arrive. Brady goes to check on Mandrake, Mel and Jeannie T drop the bomb that the baby is Jeannie/Brady's. They are still discussing this when the police arrive. Nobody can leave until they get answers. Jeannie starts babbling about how Kristen stole her baby (she's babbling like Melanie). In the babble, the cop settles on Clint, wants to know where he is. The other cop asks Marlena where she was when Ms DiMera fell, she claims not to remember. Meanwhile, Melanie spies a phone on the floor and snatches it. She calls Daniel (see below), tells him they're ok, don't believe what the Italian police say. The cops angrily take the phone.
Upstairs, Brady looks for Mandrake, who's gone, finds the briefcase and a file. Has a bunch of flashbacks to Kristen including slaps, sex, and his proposal, and their breakup, and their recent talk in the castle. He swipes the briefcase, sees a picture of Kristen & Christopher, removes it from the frame and slips it into his pocket.
Nicole is still working, Daniel shows up with flowers, apologises for their fight, is tired of fighting over stupid stuff. Daniel asks her to leave work, Nicole is glad he's here (although she briefly feigns anger after finding out that Jennifer cancelled plans with Daniel). They decide to head to "Edge of the Square". They make out a bit, he gets a call from Melanie using Marlena's phone. Daniel tells Nicole what Melanie said, notices her reaction to Mandrake, angrily demands she tell him what's going on. She tells him what she knows, WHY DIDN'T SHE TELL HIM!!?!? Nicole claims Melanie was going to drop it, Daniel continues to rage. Nicole throws out the flowers; stalks off.
Stefano gets a call. Asks "Are you sure?" and then sullenly puts down a photo of Kristen. Later, he is telling someone "do nothing for now, I will call." Drinks and remembers Kristen (including the WAY WAY back scene when we first learned that Stefano was Kristen's father!!!!). He cries.
Brady comes down with documentation of the switch, recaps how Kristen took Brady & Jeannie T's "baby" from his womb. Melanie claims self-defence; the cop doesn't believe the dead are guilty and the living are innocent, wants someone to pay for the disappearance of "Kristen DiMera." Brady assures them they will cooperate, tells Marlena that his "family" (I'm assuming Kiriakis side) has people. The cop tells Brady he & Dr Evans should plan to remain in Italy for a long time. Before the cops cart them off, Jeannie T hands Christopher to Brady while Melanie pouts in the corner.
Eve overhears Daphne saying (to somebody who probably doesn't need to know) that Paige is at the Salem Inn with JJ. Eve lets her know she overheard, says it's okay, tells Daphne she won't blab about how she found out.
At "Edge of the Square," Nicole walks in just in time to hear Daniel leaving a message for Brady, angry that Nicole's not spilling info about what's up in Italy. Later Rafe and Daniel talk, Rafe hasn't seen Nicole; Daniel wants to use Rafe's FBI contacts, but "forget about Nicole" because he's got "bigger problems."
On the plane, Jen flashes back to her fight about the coat with Eve. She hopes she got through to her.
Serena finally reaches Xander, asks where he is. He invites her to his hotel room. She declines, they plan to meet at the Square later. Serena calls him again, can't find him, he postpones their meeting; she angrily reminds him that they both have stuff on each other, and she'll take him down with her. NICOLE comes out from behind the wall, apparently having heard it all.
