The first scene is on the DiMera property, at the groundskeeper's house. Ben and Ciara are flirting, talk of how he wants to find the men who fired those shots, but Ciara doesn't want him to. Hope arrives, not to question Ben but to spill the details about Jordan's baby, and Rafe investigating. Neither of them heard about this, wonder if Jordan is lying about the child and the fire. Hope leaves, and Ben is left wondering about why Jordan hates him now. Ciara consoles him and they kiss. He shows her a gun he now has a permit for. Then she is thrilled when Stefan calls Ben and asks him to stay in Salem for now.
In the Square (where else?) Ted hands Abe his resignation. He knows Rafe spilled everything to Abe, who is disgusted with Ted, feels used and taken advantage of, wishes he vetted Ted himself. Ted tries defending Hope. Jack and Eve arrive, having overheard, and start questioning what's going on. Abe tells Eve to back off, says Ted is resigning because he was born in France, doesn't want to affect their anti-immigration campaign. They walk away but Abe tells Ted to keep his mouth shut and do his job.
Later, Eve & Jack reappear. They start in on Tripp marrying Haley to get her a green card. Abe is repulsed by his "old friend Jack" who used to tell Lexie stupid jokes. He says Jack might as well have stayed dead if this is the person he's turned into. At the police station, Ted shows up to find Hope. He asks if he should fill in Rafe on the situation, she explains his California trip. Ted can tell she's upset and she confirms this. Ted says that Rafe running away seems to be a pattern. Suddenly, Rafe arrives.
At the loft, Haley and Tripp go over their backstory. Later, he's in a suit and she's "wowed." JJ arrives to see Claire, remembers the lighter. Claire is packing up her things at Salem Inn, complains to Eve. Then Claire smiles as Eve explains that her new plan will have a bigger impact. Later, she returns to the loft and acts like she had a good night alone watching films. Haley is sorry for the inconvenience, they were getting to know each other, both leave, and Claire screams. JJ asks about the lighter in the jewelry box, she is upset he went through her things. JJ explains he saw it when Haley returned her ring, thinks it's the one that started the cabin fire and fills her in on Jordan denying starting it. She paces and rants, never started the fire, acts shocked that Jordan didn't. JJ quietly tells her he's not accusing her, wonders if Ben left it behind. Claire says she found it in the loft, queue the fake smoking story she told Tripp.
In the immigration office, Tripp and Haley are nervous. They go over their story with the immigration officer, but she is skeptical, points out she knows that he was with Claire Brady, saw her social media posts. She has read their application and hates "fairy tales." Tripp admits he was with Claire before, she was his world, and the officer thinks that it "sounds like true love." Tripp covers, saying she was just a rebound. Laverne--the officer--brings up Haley kissing JJ. Haley claims it was nothing, her love for Tripp was true and sudden. Laverne says that this "true love" could end with both of them living in China.
