In the bedroom at Steve and Kayla's townhouse, Steve stared at headlines from the Spectator, including one about Clyde being on the run. When Kayla entered, she said that Steve was the reason Tripp was alive. Steve said that Kayla had also been responsible for saving Tripp and Wendy because Kayla had helped Steve learn sign language years earlier. Steve recalled that Wendy had made the sign for beer and that he and John had followed Wendy's clue to the brewery.
When Kayla deduced that Steve was still worried, Steve noted that he was upset that Ava had been involved with Clyde. Steve added that Abe still had amnesia and that Paulina had heart failure. Kayla surprised Steve when she said that, "against all odds," Paulina's heart was back to normal. Steve wondered how it was possible. Kayla credited the power of love and prayer, and she said that everyone had a lot to be grateful for.
In Wendy's room at the hospital, Wendy flashed back to having exchanged vows with Tripp the previous night in the brewery. Tripp entered, and he said he didn't want him and Wendy to go through a similar ordeal again. Wendy wondered if she had imagined some of what she and Tripp had said to one another when they'd been running out of air. Before Wendy could ask whether she and Tripp had really exchanged vows, Sarah entered.
By the nurses' station, Johnny and Chanel asked Abe for an update on Paulina. Abe stunned Johnny and Chanel when he said that Paulina no longer needed a heart transplant. Chanel asked what had happened. "I don't know if I can explain it. If I didn't know better, I might think I dreamed the whole thing," Abe said.
In Paulina's room at the hospital, Lani panicked when she and Eli found Paulina's bed empty. Eli told Lani not to assume the worst. Just then, Abe, Chanel, and Johnny entered -- seconds before Sarah wheeled Paulina in. Chanel noted that Paulina looked much better than she had the previous night. Sarah announced that Paulina's heart appeared healthy. "Defying all medical explanation," Sarah added.
Paulina was in much better spirits, and she said that they had another miracle to celebrate. Everyone gathered was overjoyed when Abe announced that he had regained his memories the previous night. Abe extended his arms to Lani, and he warmly recalled the day he had discovered that Lani was his daughter. Abe said that he was proud to be Lani's father. Lani and Abe shared a warm embrace. Abe looked at Paulina, and he said that he remembered falling in love with her the first time. Johnny noted that the Carvers had to have an angel in their midst. "Yes, we do," Abe said warmly, and he and Paulina locked eyes.
Eli received a call, and Lani stepped out of the room with him. Alone in the room, Paulina surmised that Abe had no plans to tell Eli and Lani about the encounter with Lexie. Abe said that no one would believe that Lexie had miraculously healed them. Paulina worried that Abe regaining his memories might cause him to remember the lies she had told him. Abe declared his loved for Paulina, and he said that he couldn't wait to spend the rest of his life with her. Abe and Paulina kissed.
Paulina said that she had dreamed of Abe regaining his memories for months. "And now, thank God -- and thank Lexie -- we will be making many, many more beautiful and perfect memories together," Paulina told Abe. Moments later, Steve and Kayla joined Abe and Paulina. Paulina thanked Steve and Kayla for all they had done for Paulina and Abe, then Abe said that he planned to move back in with Paulina full-time. Steve and Kayla were thrilled by the announcement, and they invited Abe and Paulina to a celebratory dinner sometime soon. Abe and Paulina happily agreed. Steve and Abe hugged. Steve said that he loved Abe and Paulina.
By the nurses' station, Eli and Lani were thrilled after Eli learned by phone that the FBI had approved his request to become a part-time agent. Eli shared that he was having reservations because the job was in Washington, DC, and he added that he was torn over leaving Salem again.
Back in Paulina's room, after Paulina mentioned spending more time with Jules and Carver, Paulina noted that Eli and Lani had long faces. Lani shared the news of Eli's job offer. Paulina said that Eli and Lani had to do what was best for them, and she promised to visit them in Washington as often as she could.
Back in Wendy's room, Steve and Kayla visited Tripp and Wendy. Sarah was happy when she announced that Tripp and Wendy were in better shape than when they'd first arrived at the hospital the previous night. Steve told Tripp that he was furious with Ava for her role in Clyde's drug-trafficking ring. Tripp defended Ava by noting that she had asked Tripp and Wendy to leave Salem weeks earlier.
Steve grew even more irate when he learned that Tripp had known of Ava's involvement with Clyde, and he demanded to know why Tripp hadn't gone to Steve with the information. Tripp apologized to Steve, who insisted that he was only angry with Ava. Steve said he was grateful that Tripp and Wendy were okay. Tripp said that he was grateful for Steve, and they shared a warm hug.
A short while later, Johnny and Chanel entered Wendy's room. Tripp and Wendy were relieved to learn that Paulina was feeling better. Wendy spotted Chanel's wedding ring. She and Tripp congratulated Johnny and Chanel on getting married, and they all celebrated. Johnny posited that everyone was where they belonged.
After Johnny and Chanel left, Wendy told Tripp that she had never been as afraid as she'd been the previous night, but she added that she'd also never felt as safe as when she'd been in Tripp's arms. Tripp kissed Wendy before he asked what was on her mind. "Tripp... did you really propose to me last night?" Wendy asked.
Back by the nurses' station, Johnny and Chanel presented Sarah with a box of croissants from Sweet Bits to distribute to the nurses. Sarah thanked Johnny and Chanel, and she suggested that they use the Horton cabin as a honeymoon location. Chanel and Johnny agreed before proceeding to Paulina's room. Sarah joined soon afterwards to say that Paulina could be discharged as early as the following day.
At the same time, Steve stood near the nurses' station, and he left a voice message asking John to call him back. "We need to talk about the fallout from Weston's escape," Steve said. Afterwards, Kayla spotted Steve, and she surmised that something was wrong.
Steve said that Clyde's escape from Statesville was still bothering him. "Not only did Tripp and Wendy suffer through that ordeal because of him... my God, that monster killed our niece, kidnapped you and Joe --" Steve started. "And he's out there somewhere, planning God knows what," Kayla added. Kayla offered that Clyde would be found and sent back to prison. "Yeah, well, that son of a bitch better damn well hope that the police get him before I do," Steve vowed.
