Lucas goes to Club TBD, where a party is set up, but not happening. He takes a bottle of champagne (he apparently does not care for it, LOL). Meanwhile outside, Chloe arrives, sees the sign ("Doug's Place"), gets upset. She goes in, Lucas asks where's the party. She avoids answering, tells him to give her the bottle, get him home. He wants to stay to apologize and wish them well. Chloe says there was no wedding, updates him that Abby/Chad married quietly (she spoke with Jennifer). Paul/Sonny are still together, but not married. Ben Weston busted out of Bayview and announced Will was alive. Lucas wants answers that Chloe doesn't have.
Nicole and Brady are walking with a stroller through the Square, recapping Ben Weston blowing up his brother Paul's wedding to Sonny with the horrible lie that Will is alive. Later, he's flummoxed that employees are refusing to work for Titan, despite his generous offers, over the way Sonny fired them. He laments that these employees who "worked for Titan for years" won't return. (Let's all forget that the people Sonny fired were hired by Deimos, who took over Titan in 2016.) Nicole sympathizes with Sonny, angering Brady for a moment. She is on his side, but feels he was talking about "us" during his speech at the wedding. He admits he's been rough on her (has a flashback to confronting Eric about his feelings), but they are through the bad part. Brady thanks Nicole for putting up with him, and now he has to run to the office to put out fires. They kiss. Brady leaves; Nicole has an Eric-related flashback, thinks she sees him in the Square. Of course it's not, she then calms Holly by telling her that they are a family with Brady and Tate.
At Eric's cabin, he is fixing a leaky roof when he gets an urgent call from Roman, who wanted to be the one to tell Eric about Ben's lie. Sami has not been told, because there is no basis for the claim.
In the Private area, Gabi has sent Arianna off with "Miss Amanda" and asks Eli if Arianna senses anything. Eli questions whether or not there could be truth to psycho Ben's statements. Gabi says no way, and she has a flashback of seeing Will's corpse (although we only see his legs). As much as Gabi wants it to be true, it can't be. She then speaks of growing up without a father, and only meeting him when he came to town for her sister Paige's funeral, who she didn't know was her sister until after she died. She wishes Will could still be a part of her daughter's life. Eli talks about his "dad" Terrence dying when he was 6, and his bio dad dying before he met him. Eli is sure that Ari will admire Gabi's tenacity the way he admires Valerie's. Then they do some self-defense stuff, since Gabi never learned to defend herself in formal wear. She flattens him, they kiss.
At the Kmansion, Sonny realizes that Will is dead with the rational part of his brain, but needs to exhume his body to appease that inkling of doubt. He is imploring Justin for help. Sonny can't because he and Will were "legally separated" when Will died. Apparently they filed paperwork (news to me). Later, Sonny and Paul are reviewing this decision when Lucas enters, wants info. How can this be? Lucas and Sonny more or less clear the air, Lucas knows Sonny and Will loved each other. Sonny implores Lucas to authorize the exhumation. How could Sonny asks that? Lucas saw his son's lifeless body, the marks on his neck. Nothing can make him forget that. He failed Will in life, will not fail him in death. He wants his son to rest in peace; leaves. Outside, he breaks down. Back inside, Sonny realizes Lucas is right: Will is gone. Paul won't give up that easily.
Back in the Square, Chloe comes upon Nicole and Holly, who is growing so fast. They recount the wedding disaster and its effect on Lucas. Nicole is thankful for Brady's sobriety, but Chloe's reaction gives something away. Meanwhile at the Pub, Brady eyes booze but orders a Club Soda. He has a flashback of stalking Nicole and Eric and he and Roman discuss recent plot points. Roman goes to the back, and Brady goes to a table with an open bottle and pours himself some vodka, downs it.
Back outside in the Square, Chloe has covered, claims she thought Brady was drinking but it was water. They discuss how Eric left town, which stymies Nicole because he could have done so much more. Meanwhile at the farm, Eric pauses from his roof task to look at a box (the letter box, I believe). Back at the Square, Chloe tells Nicole that Eric left town because of his feelings for Nic.
