Hope and Kristen look down at the ladder, and when the smoke clears John is gone! Kristen tells Hope this is all her fault, she didn't climb the ladder fast enough.

They head off to sight see and the maid says she has misplaced her keys and wants to go ahead and clean their room if they are leaving now.

She heads into the water as Stefano hollers at Hope on the walkie talkie that the natives are getting closer and he is going to land and get them. Hope hollers to Kristen they have to go but she says she won't leave without John. Then a native shoots a poison dart but misses as Hope fires the gun. Kristen gets out the water fast and they go to meet Stefano. As they walk off we see that John was right there hidden in some grass.

Abe puts Stef on the speaker phone so that Lexie and Celeste can hear. Celeste says that John is in danger and Stefano hears her. Lexie also says she is there as he says oh my dear Alexandra how is my daughter. She just says they want to talk to John.

Stefano says that he doesn't think John could have survived the fall, but John put the flower in his backpack.

Mickey and Maggie and Alice throw a surprise birthday party for Abby at Jenn's house. Abby makes a wish when blowing out her candles - that her daddy can come home soon. She loves all her gifts. Trent comes in and gives her coloring books. While he's there, he tries to pry into Jenn's mysterious assignment, but she is very evasive and even indicates that it has nothing to do with Jack. Trent doesn't quite buy it. Jennifer leaves for work while Maggie and Mickey stay with Abby. Before leaving, Jennifer asks Mickey if he's heard anything more about Judge Cameron's disappearance, and plants the idea that maybe it is related to Jack's conviction. Mickey promises to keep his eyes open. At work, Jennifer sneaks in a minute to kiss Jack and promises that she will get the warden's password by infiltrating his office, although Jack tries to talk her out of it. In the hallway, Jennifer runs into TC, who immediately starts making lewd suggestions. She is rescued by a female guard, who tells her she has been reassigned to the visiting room. While she is on duty, Jennifer is surprised to see Jack there. Jack whispers that he has a visitor. It turns out to be Maggie and Abby. Jennifer ducks out of sight. Jack has a touching visit with Abby - until TC comes in to tell Jennifer that Deveraux needs to get back to his cell. Jennifer steps out - and Abby immediately recognizes her and shouts, "Mommy!"
In Rome, Carrie is very concerned when she can't find her diary in her room. Austin helps her look for it and tells her it has to be there somewhere. Carrie is upset because she says all her private thoughts and dreams are written down, and she would be horrified if someone read them. Austin tells her they'll probably find it when they're cleaning up the room. Carrie leaves the room while Austin stays to take a shower. Meanwhile, Sami, in her nun disguise, refuses to look at or talk to Billie, who is beginning to get suspicious of this nun who won't talk to her. Billie finally decides the nun has taken a vow of silence. Sami sits down with Billie and listens to her tale of how Bo made her feel worthwhile when nothing else would. Sami remembers when she felt worthless after Alan raped her, and Austin made her feel worthwhile again. She decides Billie is similar to her, and that Hope and Carrie are viciously trying to steal their men. Billie thanks the nun for listening to her and gives her some lira for her order. Sami is about to leave when she literally bumps into Carrie in the doorway. Sami hides her face. Carrie tries to talk to her, but Billie says the nun took a vow of silence, and tells her about donating to her order. Carrie asks the nun to wait so she can get some lira, and Sami nods, but naturally when Billie and Carrie return, the nun is nowhere to be found. Carrie says that something is very familiar about that nun. She and Billie go down to the marketplace to meet up with Austin and Bo.
In the marketplace, Mike and Deborah run into Bo, who asks to talk to Mike alone while Deborah changes into evening clothes. Bo says that it looks like things are going well with Deborah. Mike says they are, and then asks Bo what he wants to talk about. Bo says that Billie is doing a lot better since Mike prescribed drugs for her to help with the withdrawal symptoms. Mike says the real cure has been Bo's love. Bo prattles on for a while about how he still loves Hope, but they can't be together. Mike says maybe it's time for Bo to move on. Bo says that's good advice, and asks Mike if he's taking it himself. Mike says he's ready to try to move on with Deborah, and to try to get over that woman in Salem.
Deborah, Carrie, and Billie meet up in the piazza. Deborah is wearing a very sexy dress, and Billie and Carrie tease her about knocking Mike's eyes out. Deborah says he seems to be having a great time and getting over the woman in Salem. Carrie receives the news strangely - she doesn't look very happy. Deborah and Mike and Bo and Billie sit down while Carrie goes off in search of Austin. Billie tells Bo it seems as if he's getting over Hope. Bo asks her for a kiss and they share one. Mike flirts with Deborah, even though he can't get his mind off Carrie. Meanwhile, Austin is in the shower and Sami is sneaking back into her room to put the diary back. Sami slips the diary under some tissue paper and has a daydream about getting back together with Austin. She almost gets caught when Austin's shower stops, but she manages to slip out in time. Austin sees the diary and takes it to Carrie in the piazza. Carrie is amazed that he found it because she is sure she looked everywhere, but she is grateful. Mike sees them kissing and is disgusted. Sami peeks around the corner to watch them - and then is suddenly grabbed from behind by a man we can't see, except for his shoes.
Austin, while kissing Carrie in the piazza in Rome, catches a brief glimpse of what looks like a nun being dragged away. He goes to look but sees nothing. Carrie convinces him that no one would treat a nun that way, especially in Rome. Austin says he must be seeing things and they go to join Mike and Deborah and Billie and Bo. While they're all sitting together, there is a lot of teasing and talk about love. Deborah says he favorite part of Rome was the catacombs, and Carrie's story about Claudius and his lost love. Carrie says she doesn't see why the girl in the story didn't dump the blacksmith and hook up with Claudius if she was that unhappy, and Austin reminds her things didn't work that way back then. Mike stares at Carrie and can't help relating the story to the way he feels about her. Billie shows off some flowers Bo bought her and Deborah says she loves men who make spontaneous romantic gestures. Mike says that he has a gift for her and produces a beautiful gold scarf. Deborah is thrilled with the gesture, but Mike immediately notices the scarf doesn't look the same as it did when he bought it...the colors somehow are not right for Deborah. He tells her he will take it back and let her pick out a new one. Deborah swears she loves it and will treasure it, but as she is about to put it away she glances at Carrie and asks her to hold the scarf up to her face. Deborah is amazed at the way the scarf suits her and picks up her eyes. Deborah says, "The scarf was meant for you," and Mike realizes that he picked it out with Carrie in mind. Deborah asks Mike if he would be offended if she gave Carrie the scarf, and Mike says of course not, but is obviously troubled by his inability to get over Carrie. Carrie accepts it with thanks.
Meanwhile, a few feet away in an alleyway, Sami the Nun gets dragged away and confronted by Franco. She is amazed to see him there and asks what he is doing. Franco calls her a "meddlesome little bitch" and says he will put a stop to her schemes. Sami is taken aback and asks what she ever did to him. Franco says that because of her blackmail of Kate, he had to leave Salem and get away from Hope. Sami is very surprised to hear that Hope is not with Franco as everyone assumes she is. But she convinces Franco that he is still in good shape because she happens to know from Billie that Bo and Billie are now committed to each other. She convinces Franco that if he works with her, they will both get what they want - Austin and Hope. Franco agrees, but warns her that if she crosses him, she will pay. Sami looks a little afraid, but agrees. She then gets Franco to bribe the restaurant to do a couple of things - play "You Are So Beautiful," a song she knows Carrie and Mike had danced to in California (presumably by reading Carrie's diary). Carrie immediately recognizes the song and knows she danced to it with someone, and that it was very special, but she can't remember who. Mike, of course, remembers it very clearly. All three couples get up to dance. Then Franco implements phase 2 - playing a romantic song and getting to waiters to suggest that everyone switch partners so that Carrie is paired with Mike. Sami is thrilled.
Billie is surprised to see the fortune teller who was at her wedding with Bo a few weeks ago. She tells the lady that she was right about Billie's life being in danger, but it's over now and she is happy. The fortune teller says she is surprised Billie is still with her husband because Bo was strongly in love with that other woman. Billie loses her smile and tells the woman that his love for Hope is over. The fortune teller says she is wrong, that the other woman is in grave danger right now and if Bo knew that, he would leave Billie in a second. Billie is very troubled. Bo comes and asks her what that character wanted. Billie explains she is a fortune teller, and Bo asks what her fortune is. Billie decides not to tell him anything about Hope being in danger. The fortune teller, who is listening, is saddened and disappointed by Billie's selfishness.
Back in Salem, TC is very suspicious when Abby calls Jenn, in her Hope disguise, "Mommy." He demands to know what she means. Jennifer says she has no idea, that Deveraux's little girl is obviously confused and she has never seen her before in her life. Maggie sweeps Abby away and tells her that Mommy is playing a game and doesn't want anyone to recognize her, and asks Abby to keep a secret. Abby nods and comes back. Jack and Jennifer finally convince TC that Abby was just talking about her mommy and is easily confused because her parents are often gone. TC actually questions Abby, but she plays her game and tells him that her mommy is at work. TC finally buys it and they take Jack back to his cell. Jack tries once more to convince Jennifer to drop the whole prison guard disguise because it is too dangerous, but Jennifer says she is going to get the warden's password so Jack can hack into his computer. Jack finally agrees and warns her to be careful.
In the jungle, Kristen and Stefano try to convince Hope to go with them out of the jungle, because John cannot possibly still be alive. Hope says there is no way she is leaving without him. Stefano and Dr. Rolf are worried that Hope will discover the mysterious draped table with the secret of Maison Blanche hidden underneath the cover. Stefano realizes he has to get Hope to go with them rather than risk her finding the secret and somehow escaping the natives alive. He resorts to putting her on a guilt trip, thinking about all the people she will hurt if she dies - especially Shawn-D and Bo. Hope finally realizes she can't take that chance and agrees to leave with them. Meanwhile, John has regained consciousness and found himself tied to a tree and all alone (these natives don't believe in guarding prisoners, apparently). He reaches his knife with his toes and flips it into his tied hand and manages to saw through the vine ropes (handy guy!). In seemingly no time at all (as opposed to the days and days it took him to get through the jungle before) he is back outside the compound, but he realizes that Stefano and his men are leaving, and the natives are between him and the plane. Just then, Hope and Stefano and Kristen leave the compound. Hope gets a crafty look on her face and starts to set off in a different direction from Kristen and Stefano. She is unaware that a native with a poison dart blower is just feet away, and aiming a dart right at her...
