Time 36 minutes.
Ava is sitting in the Bistro when someone touches her. She jumps. It's Stefan. She asks how he got inside? Clyde gave him keys. Clyde wants the Bistro open ASAP. Stefan doesn't want the place to open to launder money. Ava reminds him we only do that and not sell drugs. Stefan says the only way out of mess is to kill him.
Rafe comes into the cop shop room where Harris is. Rafe is surprised EJ's cutting deal with Leo. Harris tells him Dimitri just arrived and turned himself in.
Replay of Leo signing papers for his release. EJ says he can't go until Dimitri comes. Dimitri walks in. EJ is shocked. Dimitri walks over to Leo and says he's turning himself in and they can let my Leo go.
Replay of Sloan and Nicole in Kayla's office when Eric walks in with the envelope. Sloan protests too much that she didn't agree to the test. Eric says he has the results and holds the envelope. Nicole is excited to see them. Everyone stares at each other.
Dimitri demands EJ release Leo, but Leo jumps in and says Pookie bear. (why that name?) EJ says he's not going to release Leo or Dimitri. Leo reminds him they had a deal. EJ rips the paper. EJ says he plans to prosecute both of them. Leo says he can't do felony murder. EJ says that's right, but he has other charges.
Dimitri says the paper is legally binding. EJ's surprised. Leo says Dimitri went to law school at Cambridge (of course he did). Dimitri says Leo didn't do anything. Dimitri sits down and says EJ can't make anything stick unless he confesses because we know the success rate of the Salem PD. Dimitri says to cuff him now and take the win.
Rafe can't believe Dimitri turned himself in. Harris says for love. Rafe mentions how many crimes Dimitri has done and it will make a dent in the case clearance rate. (good for them, since Salem PD can't close cases on their own). Rafe tells Harris a good thing since the 5 kilos of drugs in a case were taken from the evidence room. Harris gives his usual scowl.
Harris mentions that it was an inside job (sort of). Rafe brings up that Harris lost his keys. Rafe says during that time the evidence was stolen. They discuss it and Rafe says scum is back on the streets. Rafe tells Harris not to worry. They will get him next time and maybe his boss. Rafe says concentrate on positive with Dimitri turning himself in. Rafe wonders why it's taking so long with EJ? EJ walks out and says to arrest Dimitri.
Ava and Stefan talk about killing Clyde. Stefan says he can contact his mother's henchman in prison, Ivan. Stefan says Ivan will do anything to keep his madam happy. He'll call her in Alamainia and she'll call Ivan. They agree Gabi and Tripp not safe with Clyde alive. Ava doesn't think it's a good idea since Clyde has people on the outside, and Ava wants to keep Clyde happy. Ava says he should concentrate getting Gabi out of prison. Ava finally agrees to get rid of Clyde.
Meanwhile in Kayla's office, Nicole wants Eric to open the envelope. Sloan says to wait since she didn't give her permission. Eric says he tried to tell her. Sloan's upset the baby was exposed to germs because Nicole won't accept reality. Nicole says she knows why Sloan is freaking out. Nicole grabs the envelope. She opens it and the report says the DNA test not a match. Sloan looks shocked. Nicole doesn't understand since she was sure baby was hers.
Kayla walks in and Nicole wants to know if they used her DNA and it was a mistake. Kayla explains that they couldn't use her DNA on the toothbrush. The hospital remembered they had EJ's DNA on record and it didn't match. (of course not, it's not his kid). Sloan chimes in, no question EJ is father. Nicole says no and starts crying because she was sure this was her baby. Nicole's upset with Eric because he only did the test to appease her. Nicole yells at them as she walks out the door. She turns and says goodbye to the baby. Eric chases after her. Sloan looks relieved.
Stefan asks Ava if she knows another way to get rid of Clyde? Ava says the DiMera have henchmen. He says he wasn't involved with that part of the business and the person who has to know is EJ, who's now the DA. Stefan says she must know someone. He talks about the dirty work when Harris walks in. Stefan tells Harris he bought the Bistro and wants to make changes. Ava will run the restaurant.
Harris asks Ava how she feels about it? She says she's fine. Ava doesn't want Stefan to take any big risks. Stefan says he won't. He'll come back later to talk. Stefan leaves. Harris came by so she could lift his spirits. He tells her that his key evidence is now gone and it might have happened when his keys went missing. He tells her he remembers his keys on his desk when she was there after Gil died. He asks if she knows what happened to his keys?
Rafe is handcuffing Dimitri. His phone buzzes. He leaves Dimitri with Leo. Leo can't believe Dimitri sacrificed himself for him. Dimitri says he could have escaped to Canada with Darius' help, but he stayed behind since he loves Leo. He knows Leo would do the same for him. Dimitri says he did all the bad stuff and not Leo. Leo is afraid EJ will reinstate the felony charge. Dimitri says they didn't kill baby. He looks behind him and says Nicole's baby is still alive.
Eric and Sloan arrive home with the baby. Eric asks if she's mad? Sloan says he shouldn't have humored Nicole with the DNA test. She implies that doing the test says Sloan is a baby snatcher (but you are). Eric says that's not true until you freaked out about the test results and you were hiding something. Later, Eric comes back to the living room after putting the baby in his crib. Sloan is upset he didn't tell her. Eric says you left to help a client before I could tell you. The baby cries and Eric leaves to tend to him. Sloan calls Rafe. She hangs up and says Dimitri turned himself in and Leo is free. Eric only wanted Nicole have closure. Sloan, happy now, is fine with that. Sloan's happy Nicole knows it's not her baby. Eric says time to give him a name.
EJ arrives home and find Nicole in the living room. He tells her he let Leo go, but Dimitri was arrested. He dropped the felony charges against both of them. Nicole doesn't care someone was arrested. She thought our baby boy was alive. Now she has to accept he isn't. She tells EJ that Holly suggested maybe Eric and Sloan's baby was ours. She knew EJ wouldn't like idea. She thought Eric believed her, but he only did the test for her to accept reality. Eric was right that baby is not ours. Nicole starts crying and she has to accept the baby is gone. She should have known at the accident site their baby was dying. She tells EJ when she held Eric's baby that he was mine. Why didn't she know it wasn't? Nicole is sobbing. We have to accept our baby gone. He holds her.
Ava didn't notice what he did with his keys. He says they were probably on the desk when he took her home. She says weren't your car keys on same ring? Nope. Harris is surprised the cop shop is not a secure place. Ava says he needs to forget about the keys and talk about their first date, which they haven't done yet. They kiss.
Stefan is in Horton Town Square talking to his mother on the phone. He wants her help.
Sloan asks what name does Eric want? Eric says no to junior since he was named after Uncle Eric and he wasn't a good guy. Eric likes Jude after Saint Jude, the patron saint of lost causes. Eric admits praying a lot to St. Jude. Eric is grateful to God for what he's giving us. She likes the name.
Leo gets excited and says Nicole's baby is alive. Dimitri shushes him. Leo wants to know more. Dimitri says to drop it and he shouldn't have told him at the police station. Rafe comes back to take Dimitri away. Dimitri tells Leo to be good to himself.
EJ is upset Nicole's going through the baby's loss again. Nicole says it's his loss too. She says she should be grateful for her blessings, but she felt the baby kick. She loved him and had a connection with him. EJ says he felt connection too. He suggests going upstairs to lie down. (Nicole has a flashback of holding the baby) She agrees and they leave the room.
