She confesses she’s getting a divorce. Meanwhile, Sydney and Johnny run over to hug EJ before sitting down. Soon Celeste, Cameron and Theo arrive followed by Abby, Chad and Gabi who catch up with Cam. Abby tells Cameron that Theo is lucky to have him in his life. Cam mentions how everyone knew his sister better than him.

Cameron, Chad, Abby, Gabi, Abe, Marlena and John head to a table together. Cam asks how Abe and Lexi met.

Abe stands and shares that finding out they were having a baby was one of the happiest days of his life. He flashes to Lexi giving him the good news.
At another table, EJ asks Sami to call a truce. She doesn't want to make a scene and asks how he's doing. He finds it difficult then shares how Lexi would call every few days to check on him. Sami comforts him. Sami admits that Lexi hated her guts and flashes back to a fight she had with Lexi about Brandon. EJ tells Sami that Lexi used to say that if he and Sami would stop trying to destroy each other they could make each other happier than they've ever been. They share an awkward laugh. Sami mentions that Lexi believed he could change. Sami thinks that now that Stefano's dead he can become his own man.
The group continues to mingle. Abe talks about dealing with Theo's autism. Lexi wouldn't let him be in denial. He flashes to a memory of Theo completing a train puzzle.

Later Abby asks Chad if Mel knows about Lexi. He left her a message. Abby looks upset when Gabi comforts Chad. Bo and Hope wander over to Abe who is just finishing a call with Brandon. Bo tells him they forgave Lexi for trying to keep Zack for herself. Meanwhile Celeste sits down with EJ to share that Lexi wanted them to get along. EJ asks her, since she has a sixth sense, if they will catch Stefano’s killer. She says it will come out - is that what he wants? She believes EJ when he says he didn't kill him.
Abe announces Lexi wanted there to be dancing. Everyone grabs a partner, including Gabi and Chad, Kayla and Abe, and after Johnny encourages them - EJ and Sami. With "I only have eyes for you" playing - the group dances. Kayla and Abe know Lexi is watching them all. Later, Hope offers a heartfelt toast to her friend Lexi as she talks about their wonderful friendship. Marlena takes the podium.
