Bo returned home to find Carly gone. He checked the laptop for clues to where she had gone. He grabbed his gun and went looking for her.

Carly told Mia that she put her baby first by giving her up so that she could have a better life. Mia felt like Carly understood her even though Mia didn't know Carly. "Sometimes a stranger can understand better than anybody," Carly said. Mia was embarrassed that she had let Carly know her whole life story, but Carly told her not to be, because she hadn't had anyone to talk to in a long time. Bo interrupted their conversation and asked Carly what she was doing there.

Carly apologized for leaving the way she did, but Bo said he wasn't upset about that -- he saw that she had used his computer and knew what she was up to. He reminded her that she faced extradition and the Alamains were after her, as well, so Carly needed to hide. Carly hugged Mia goodbye.

In the park, Vivian called Gus to track down Carly. Gus sent Vivian a picture message, showing Carly and Mia hugging. Vivian told Gus to follow Mia, instead of Carly.

Kate was surprised to see E.J. in the living room. E.J. reminded her that he lived at the DiMera mansion. Kate vented to E.J. that she was worried about Stefano and also about how annoyed she was that Marie had called her, because Sami and Rafe were looking for Sydney. E.J. asked what Kate meant about Rafe and Sami searching for Sydney. Kate said she thought that Chloe could watch Sydney, but no one knew where Chloe was. E.J. demanded to know what Kate had done with Sydney.

E.J. told Kate that he wasn't one of her "lap dog sons," and he wanted to be treated with respect. Kate explained that she gave Sydney to Chloe, and that Sami and E.J. were searching for Sydney. Kate couldn't understand why it was so important to Stefano that Sydney stay in the house. Kate asked why E.J. cared, because he had kicked Nicole and Sydney out, which Kate considered to be a smart move.

Kate realized that E.J. suspected that something was going on. E.J. told her to butt out. Kate asked if he was curious why Stefano tried to have Rafe killed.

Rafe demanded that Chloe hand Sydney over to him. Chloe refused to, saying that she had promised Nicole. Chloe told him that he didn't have a right to be there. "Trust me, you really don't want to be part of this," Rafe said. Chloe demanded to know how Rafe got into her and Daniel's apartment. Rafe told Chloe that Nicole was going down. Chloe wondered what Rafe was referring to. Rafe continued to argue with Chloe when Daniel showed up.

Daniel reminded Rafe that he was supposed to wait, but Rafe was eager to find Sydney. Rafe filled Chloe in on the details of the baby switch, but Chloe refused to believe him. Daniel confirmed to her that Nicole did switch Mia's baby with Sami's, and they had proof. Daniel tried to calm everyone down, but Chloe thought that Rafe was lying, because Nicole knew that something was wrong. Rafe tried to explain to Chloe that Sami was Sydney's birth mother, but Chloe refused to believe it.

Daniel told Chloe that Rafe had a DNA test backing his claim. Chloe thought that maybe there was a mix-up at the hospital, but Rafe assured her that Nicole deliberately switched the babies. Chloe didn't believe him. Chloe realized that it was her fault that Nicole knew about Sami's pregnancy in the first place.

Rafe apologized for scaring Chloe, and he left with Sydney. Chloe was upset, thinking that it was her fault. Chloe told Daniel how she ended up spilling Sami's pregnancy secret to Nicole while Sami was going into witness protection. Daniel tried to make Chloe see that it wasn't her fault. Chloe said that Nicole was just trying to have a family. Daniel said Nicole did that by taking another woman's baby.

Sami returned home when Nicole was trying to leave. Nicole tried to cover, saying that she thought that Sami was going to check on Rafe. Sami said that Nicole had disappeared. Nicole made up some excuse and tried to leave, but Sami stopped her and said Nicole wasn't going anywhere. Nicole knew she was in trouble. Sami confronted Nicole about her lies. "I can practically hear the wheels turning in your head. 'What's going on? What does she know?'" she told Nicole.

Nicole said she just thought that Sami was worried about Rafe. Sami told her that Rafe wasn't dead. "Something that makes me happy and you sad," Sami said. "I know you hate it when your plans go awry, but Rafe didn't die," Sami said. "He did tell me why you wanted to have him killed -- to keep me from hearing the truth," she added.

Nicole said that Sami was wrong. "I have been wrong about a lot of things, and I have been stupid, and naïve doesn't really begin to catch it all, for trusting you," Sami said. Sami couldn't believe that she even thanked Nicole for helping her death with Grace's death. "You sat there. You sat there and watched us grieve, watched everything we went through, and you did nothing!" Sami said. "You invited me. You insisted I attend the christening service, where you gave the name that you picked to my daughter," Sami yelled, knocking things over in anger. Sami threatened to make Nicole's life "a living hell."

Sami told Nicole that Rafe had told her everything. Nicole tried to convince Sami that Rafe was just against Nicole and hated their friendship. Sami said that he hated that she was cozying up to the woman who stole Sami's baby. Nicole brought up Grace in her attempt to defend herself, but Sami threatened to kill Nicole if she said Grace's name. Nicole said that the DNA tests were wrong, and Sami ordered Nicole to tell Sami where her daughter was or Sami would make Nicole tell her.

Sami knew that Nicole had returned to get the money that Sami had planned to give her. Sami realized that Stefano had forced Nicole to return to Salem with Sydney, because he knew that Sydney was Sami's child. Sami knew that Dr. Baker had helped Nicole, and she called Nicole a "cold-hearted bitch." Sami said that she was thankful that Sydney didn't have to grow up thinking that Nicole was her mother.

Nicole tried to convince Sami that Sami was in pain because of Grace's death and blamed Nicole for all the bad things that had happened to Sami. Sami warned Nicole again that if she said Grace's name, Sami would not stop herself from killing Nicole. Nicole tried to leave, but Sami stopped her and tried to call the police, but Nicole grabbed the phone from Sami and threw it.

Sami refused to let Nicole leave. She vowed that Nicole would end up alone and miserable, and wondered what E.J. would think when he found out that his and Sami's child was still alive. Sami said that she planned to take Sydney back. Nicole objected, and Sami slapped her. Sami ordered Nicole to admit that Sydney was Sami and E.J.'s daughter, but Nicole refused, so Sami slapped her again. Nicole finally admitted the truth.

Nicole told Sami that she had related to what Sami went through when Grace died. Nicole explained her motive in Sydney's kidnapping. She said that Sami had Grace, and E.J. had his daughter, and she thought that everyone could be happy. Nicole said that having children was easy for Sami -- Sami didn't even want kids and yet she got them. Nicole thought it wasn't fair that Sami didn't even tell E.J. about his baby, while at the same time Nicole wanted another child. "So you thought I had so many that I wouldn't miss one?" Sami yelled.

Arianna kissed Brady. Troy called, and she wanted to get it. Brady told her to let the call go to voicemail. Then he changed his mind and said he had to leave anyway. Brady planned to go to Victor to get information on "the scum of the earth." Arianna was worried that Victor would find out that she was working undercover, but Brady assured her that Victor would never know. Brady thought that one of Victor's associates might know something. Brady asked if she trusted him, and she said she trusted him with her life. Brady told her that one day their biggest problem would be what movie to go see and where to go for lunch.

When Brady returned home, Victor gave Brady a hard time about getting involved with Arianna. He said the last thing that Brady needed was to make "sweet music" with a drug dealer. Brady asked how Victor knew that Arianna was a dealer, but Victor refused to answer. Brady said that he knew Arianna was a drug dealer, but Brady planned to convince Arianna to stop. Victor thought that Brady was naïve to think that Arianna would give up drug-dealing. Victor vowed not to let Arianna hurt Brady.

Arianna saw Rafe at the Brady Pub with Sydney. He was looking for Sami. Arianna asked if Nicole admitted to switching babies. He said that Nicole hadn't admitted it yet, but she was "toast." Rafe tried to reach Sami on the phone and left a message telling her where he was. He told Arianna that Sami knew the truth about Sydney and Grace. Rafe told Arianna to inform Sami that he was taking Sydney back to Sami's place. Arianna wanted to call the police, but he told her not to, because he wanted Sami to have private time with Sydney.

Brady told Arianna that Victor wasn't in the mood to talk, and he shut Brady down completely. Arianna was relieved, because she didn't want Victor to be a part of her undercover operation. Brady searched through Victor's deleted files for leads. He stumbled upon deleted shipping orders, but they were in code. Brady pledged to find out what was going on if that was "the last thing" he did.

When Carly and Bo returned home, Carly suggested that Bo harass Chad for calling Mia a "slut." Carly said that if she didn't do what she was in town for, she might never get the chance. Carly was restless and hated being dependent on Bo. He tried to calm her down, but she said that she had nightmares about stabbing Lawrence.

Carly said there was a moment after she stabbed him that he knew that he was dying and that she was the one who did it. Carly was distraught that she killed someone despite being a doctor. Bo tried to reassure her that she did it because she had to. Bo got a call about Lawrence.

At the Java Café, Mia dropped a mug, and it broke. When she tried to pick up the pieces, Vivian grabbed her hand and offered to help. Vivian asked if someone had upset her, but Mia didn't want to talk about it. Vivian asked whether the person that Mia had been talking to was a stranger. Mia went to fill Vivian's order, so Vivian called Gus, vowing that Carly wouldn't be able to run and hide.

Chloe stopped by the DiMera mansion to see E.J. and tell him about what Nicole had done. Kate tried to eavesdrop on their conversation, so E.J. shut the living room door. Chloe urged E.J. to talk to Sami and Nicole.

Nicole tried to justify what she'd done. Nicole refused to tell Sami where Sydney was. She vowed to never give Sydney to Sami. Nicole said that Sami had held Sydney and didn't know that Sydney was Sami's, because Sami didn't really want Sydney. Nicole said that Sami only wanted Sydney because Sydney was Sami's property. Nicole backed up and grabbed a glass paperweight to hit Sami with. Rafe walked in holding Sydney, and Nicole dropped the paperweight on the floor.
