When Jack saw Frankie and Jennifer reminiscing about the past, a worried Frankie insisted that he did not want Jack to get the wrong idea about his relationship with Jennifer. A smiling Jack told them both that he hoped they would always be close and that Frankie could stay as long as he would like. Overly happy, Jack exclaimed that he would go make his famous jalapeno dip. While Jack contemplated how perfect Frankie would be for Jennifer after he passed, Jennifer and Frankie wondered what was wrong with Jack. Later, Jack brought out his jalapeno dip to play truth or dare with. Jack asked Frankie what his perfect woman was. When Frankie described her, Jack said, "In other words, Jennifer!" Uncomfortable, Frankie took a big bite of dip and nearly choked on it. After a gulp of water, Frankie asked Jack where he saw himself in five years and a confident Jack said, "Heaven!" When Jennifer questioned his answer, Jack told her he meant with his family because it was like heaven. Suspicious and a touch uncomfortable, Jennifer broke out the Scrabble board and the threesome had a fun time playing. Jack daydreamed about Frankie being his children's stepdad and playing scrabble with Jennifer and Jack's photo. After Frankie and Jennifer tied the game, Jack dressed up in his cowboy gear and insisted they enter the dance contest at Alice's.
At Salem Hospital, Lexie informed the group that she couldn't save the baby. When John asked about Marlena's condition, a downbeat Lexie said she was still critical. John went in to see Marlena, and Sami stayed behind to berate Kate. Roman begged her to leave Kate alone since there was enough blame to go around for everybody. The two parted and Kate walked to the corner to talk to Philip who recommended she support Roman. A stoic Kate said it wasn't her place and ran off to the cafeteria.
Inside Marlena's room, John talked to Marlena who woke up. Soon after, John told Marlena about the miscarriage and she broke down into tears in Belle's arms. The crying was brief as Marlena went catatonic, staring straight ahead without acknowledging anyone. Belle and John left the room so Lexie could examine Marlena.
In the Salem Hospital cafeteria, Rex and Mimi talked about Marlena. Soon, Rex once again asked about Mimi's secret and Mimi put him off until Philip came in and told them about Marlena's miscarriage. As Rex and Mimi went off to check on Marlena, Philip went over to Kate and asked her about being there for Roman. A tearful Kate admitted things would have been worse if Marlena had had the baby. Sami overheard Kate's statement and swore to tell Roman what an evil woman he was married to.
In the hallway outside Marlena's room, an increasingly pained Belle clutched her stomach. Moments later, Lexie called a code blue on Marlena who was in cardiac arrest. Overwhelmed, Belle passed out into Shawn's arms as Philip sat helplessly by watching.
Lexie informed the group that Marlena's injuries were more serious than she thought, but specialists were on the way. A worried Philip asked about Belle and Lexie said they were running tests but that she should be fine. Philip went in to see her and Shawn asked him if he could tag along. Philip reluctantly agreed and they went in to find a smiling Belle. When Philip blamed himself for Belle's ulcer, Shawn tried to take some of the blame too, raising Philip's suspicions. Belle brushed it off and asked for Mimi.
Back in the cafeteria, Roman showed up and chided Sami for not staying away from Kate like he had asked her to do. When Sami told Roman that Kate admitted she was glad Marlena lost the baby, Roman told her to shut up and stop telling him what to do. As the fight began to escalate, Rex ran in to tell them about Marlena's cardiac arrest.
Mimi went in to visit Belle and update her on Marlena's condition. Seeing Mimi's sad face, Belle asked her if the situation reminded her about her own baby. When Mimi admitted that it did, Belle asked her why she still had not told Rex. Mimi exclaimed that she was afraid to lose him but a frustrated Belle said if she kept lying she would lose him anyway because lies destroy relationships. "You were pregnant with Rex's baby and he deserves to know," Belle said just as Rex walked in. Devastated, Rex asked her about it, to which a stuttering Mimi tried to cover. Fed up, Belle wouldn't cover for her and Mimi was forced to admit that it was true. Hurt, Rex ran out leaving a fuming Mimi to tell Belle, "Damn you, Belle!" A tearful Mimi ran out after Rex, while a relieved Belle was comforted by Shawn. Belle admitted she dreamed of her future with Shawn and promised to ask for an annulment from Philip once he had recovered. Optimistic, the two kissed.
Mimi caught up with Rex down the hallway and he demanded to know when she was pregnant and why she did not tell him about it. Beginning to understand, Rex stated that she was never going to tell him. Her silence speaking volumes, Rex asked why she did not tell him. When Mimi began to explain that at the time he said he wanted kids SOMEday, he realized the situation and asked her if she had an abortion. Looking him in the eyes, Mimi said, "Yes."
The tests came back on Belle and the nurses discussed the results. "Belle doesn't have an ulcer. She's pregnant!" the nurse said.
Back in Marlena's room, John spoke to Marlena promising to make everything right. Sami entered with Roman and a tearful Sami pleaded with her mother to come back to them. Kate entered the room and lurked at the back, just in time for Marlena to wake up and look at her. After a minute, Marlena looked around at everyone and finally asked them, "What are you all doing here? And who are you?"

Well, this is, only Belle is too selfish to see it. Belle says Mimi is the selfish one. If she had told Rex long ago, he wouldn't have left her. Mimi slaps Belle. How dare she!

In her apartment, Sami tries to come up with a plan to expose Kate. With her cell phone's camera and voice recording capability, she is prepared for revenge.
