At New Restaurant, closeup of the ring as Daniel asks Nicole to marry him. Nicole accepts, they kiss. They discuss how much they've gone through to get to this point, how nothing's ever perfect, but how this "feels very close to it." Nothing can come between them now, Daniel states, causing Nicole to flashback to kissing Eric in the furnace. Nicole looks upset, deflects and asks if Parker knows about this. He's sure Parker will be OK with it, when he returns from Chloe's. Nicole considers removing the ring until people know, Daniel dislikes the idea. There's no reason to hide. Nicole wants to make sure that Daniel's sure about this before they tell anyone. He's confused, she offers him another "out" before they go forward. Daniel won't forget the past, it is going to make him much more grateful for the love they have. He's sure he wants to marry her.
In the Square, Hope is calling Abby, leaving a detailed message about how scary it is to be unexpectedly pregnant. Aiden comes up behind her with flowers, they get kissy as they walk through the Square. They run into Kayla, who invites them over to dinner. She laments not doing it earlier, admits she wasn't rooting for them as a couple and apologises, admitting she was wrong about Aiden. They'll have dinner Sunday night, Aiden will bring the wine. Aiden departs; Kayla's about to leave, but Hope wants to know what's going on with Kayla.
In the Brady Booth, John and Marlena are having lunch with Doug and Julie, back from a cruise. Julie comments about a lot of voicemails concerning them, and Doug asks flat out, "Are you two back together, or not?" Julie apologises for being nosy, jokingly asks if they're on, or off, or off 'n' on, LOL. John says they're "finding our way back to each other." Julie talks about how grateful she & Doug are that they've had the years they've shared together. Wants to take a picture of John and Marlena kissing. A bit later, John has to go, goes in to kiss Marlena, who moves a bit to the side. Marlena tries to rush off, but Julie wants to talk. (She says the hospital is 5 minutes from Brady Pub.) Julie wants to know how the addition of Paul & Tate in John's life (as well as his new job) will affect the couple's finding their way back to each other. Julie worries that all these things will keep John from having time to focus on Marlena. Julie wonders how these changes with John are affecting Marlena. Marlena's been involved every step of the way, she's glad to have these two new people in "our family." Doug laments Paul and John losing so much time. They talk quite a bit about Paul.
In the Kmansion, Paul has stopped by to see Brady/Tate, whom Maggie brings out. Paul holds him, Brady talks about how being a father changes a body.
In Roman's office, JJ has come in the back door and wants to go undercover for the DEA. Roman's glad and Watts want him to start ASAP; JJ's already set up a meeting with Kyle. This upsets Roman, JJ is not to make moves without Roman's approval; Watts is glad JJ got the meeting with Southern. Roman wonders what caused the abrupt change. Just wants to do his part, JJ claims. Everything has to be secret, it will take a long time and will require patience. JJ's only requirement for going forward is that his mom know what he's doing, for fear that her heart would break if she thought JJ were dealing drugs again. Watts tenatively okays this. Roman tells JJ not to do anything with Kyle, just talk; offers him another chance to back out. JJ flashes back to watching Kyle with Paige, refuses to back out.
Meanwhile, Kyle and Clyde are talking on their phones (probably about 10 feet from each other in separate part s of the park). Clyde tells him to be careful, disposes of his phone when the call is done. Kyle is carrying a gun.
At Eric's, Serena continues to push to find out what really happened between Eric/Nicole in the furnace. He won't play games with her after her "friend" Xander tried to kill them. Serena pushes more, thinks there's more that Eric's not saying. Serena gives up, goes to leave as there's a knock on the door. It's Brady, angry at seeing Serena, she explains she was returning something, is leaving. Eric spits that she IS LEAVING. Serena's headed to the hospital, had to pick up another project since she can't leave town. Eric is angry. (There's a new feeling, LOL.) Brady orders Serena to stay out of his brother's life. Outside, Serena notes that Eric's a terrible liar. Back inside, Brady wants to know what's wrong. Thinks Serena's up to something, Eric yells at him. Tries to change the subject to Jeannie T., rubs his head a lot, looks like he's having an anxiety attack. Brady pushes, Eric refuses to see a shrink. Talk to me, then, Brady insists...what happened that night with Xander/Nicole? A moment later, Eric has calmed down, he's okay, has nothing more to tell Brady. Brady accepts this and leaves; Eric checks his phone, then leaves as well.
At Club TBD, Paige and Daphne are talking about Paige going out with Kyle, whom Daphne thinks is a drug dealer. Daphne wants to know WHY Paige is thinking about dating him, suspects it has to do with JJ.
At the hospital, Jenn laments to Maxine that nobody's taken the Clerk job yet. Only one applicant, Paige Larson, was qualified, but she turned the job down. Worries that Paige's not taking the job because of Jennifer. Maxine heard that Paige turned down internships because of her as well. Maxine wants to know why. Jenn did something bad (Maxine doesn't believe this), and can never make it up to her.
Second Half
At the Kmansion, Paul is bonding with Tate, telling him he will teach him how he'll teach him to do baseball things. John enters, they talk about the miracle of being a father. John wants Paul to experience the same thing someday. Paul does want to have kids someday, when he finds the right person. He talks about working for Kate, getting back into shape, and playing basketball with Will & Sonny. He thinks they'll all end up being friends, and John's sure that Paul will someday find someone he'll care about as much as Sonny. Paul's in no rush. John says sometimes the right one can be on the other side of the world, or right across town.
In the park, JJ meets Kyle, who frisks him and checks his phone before they exchange stuff. We need to talk, Kyle declares, as Paige lurks in the bushes. As Paige watches, Kyle and JJ discuss what they're going to do, how risky it will be. Kyle doesn't trust JJ; JJ doesn't know what he means, doesn't want to play games. "You came to me...and I am in," JJ says, not knowing what's up or what changed. Kyle tells him, "Paige." Kyle notes that JJ didn't want anything to do with him until the fight with Paige, now Kyle (who fingers his gun) wants him to come clean.
On the other side of the clearing, Jenn runs into Paige and wants to know how things are going at the Yogurt Shop, wishes Paige would consider working at the hospital, better pay, better experience. I'm not the one you should be worried about, Paige declares. Tells Jennifer to worry about JJ and his friend, the drug dealer.
At the hospital, Daniel is working. Brady comes looking for him, wants to know if he's seen Serena. Daniel says Serena doesn't work here, Brady says don't be so sure. She saw her at Eric's. Behind them, Serena enters. Daniel gets a call and leaves; Serena crosses her arms and walks toward Brady and they exchange hate glares.
At Dan/Nicole's, Nicole comes home, screeching with delight. She pulls a BRIDE magasine out from behind a pillow, there's a knock on the door. It's Eric, he called her office and learned she took a half day off. He's going to leave, she wants to talk. Eric says Serena might know "about us."
In what is surely NOT a pickup scene, sitting in front of Club TBD, Clyde talking with somebody (whom he refers to as male) on the phone. He's looking forward to the tour, he might make another donation to the hospital. Talks out loud about Abby's upcoming paternity test, which he's sure her Aunt Kayla will perform.
Kayla is talking with Hope still, showing her a pamphlet on the Salem Bicentennial. She's on the committee, coming up with events to commemorate the big day (November 9, 2015). Hope will help, sounds like it will be great.
