On the dance floor, Brandon told Sami he would not be attending her wedding. When asked why, Brandon explained that part of the reason he came to Salem was to make sure she was with the right guy and that she was. A shocked Sami asked if he came to Salem to get back together with her but he denied it. Disbelieving, Sami asked about when he stood outside her apartment his first night back in town. Brandon copped to his brief stalker moment but stated he was merely curious about whether she was happy. He also admitted he still had feelings for Sami but she belonged with Lucas. He wished her luck and told her not to ruin it like she does with everyone. Brandon went back inside leaving a teary eyed Sami outside who was quickly joined by Lucas. Upon seeing her tears, he asked her what Brandon said. Sami told Lucas that Brandon was not coming to the wedding and that what she was feeling was a little like alcoholism. Lucas was ruffled but finally soothed when Sami explained that she felt fear of losing Lucas like all her other men. Lucas asked her to always be that honest. They hugged and then Sami ran after Celeste to find out about her future with Lucas. Celeste promised the cards looked good but when pressed for the truth by Eugenia, Celeste said, "Sami is her own worst enemy. I don't need her to be mine. If she ruins things it will be her own doing."
