At the DiMera mansion, Sami studies a painting. Johnny rushes in asking her to take them to a theme park with daddy. EJ walks in and it's uncomfortable so Sami tickles Johnny and cackles. She'll try to make it happen. He runs off happily and Sami assumes this was EJ's doing. He denies it and asks why the Jackson Pollock painting is out. She says she sold it for five hundred thousand dollars which makes EJ nuts. It's worth more than that and is part of their children's inheritance. Sami has plans to invest the money wisely. He gets back to the theme park idea and reminds her of the time they took a ride on a carousel. Sami says, "Yeah, but that was before you took a ride on Abby Deveraux." EJ reminds her they've faced worst crises than this. Sami harrumphs and leaves to get a restraining order on him.

At home, Sonny reads Will's article about Sami, EJ, and Kate. He tells him it's well written, and amazing. They make out and Sonny admits he's worried that the article will hurt Sami. Will shrugs. It runs next week.

At SPD, Hope flashes to dancing with Aiden and then to him telling her about his date with Jenn.

At the hospital, Jenn gives Abigail a pep talk about looking for a job over the phone. They hang up and Maxine admits she's worried about Daniel, who never showed up at the St. Louis conference. Jenn's concerned. Maxine explains she called Chloe, who said Daniel texted Parker to say he's under the weather. Now Jenn knows something's up but wants to be left out of it so Maxine calls Maggie. Jenn debates calling Daniel but Hope calls, so she asks to meet.

In the truck on the way to Salem, Daniel tells Kristen their stop is near the Salem Police Department. Kristen's eyes nearly pop out of her head. She glances at the box cutter and picks a fight. She agrees to back off if he lets her go. He knows she's lying. It's his mission to make "crazy cakes" pay for all the lives she has messed up. She starts to feign bawling and grabs the box cutter. She attempts to slit his throat but he snags the knife. The truck comes to a halt and Daniel falls. Boxes rain upon him. Kristen kicks him and he gets up and grabs her.

Eric catches up with Marlena in the park and tells her he was reinstated as a priest but has lost his calling. He is considering leaving town. Marlena begs him not to and he tells her he hates Nicole.

Nicole shows up on Brady's door and tells him Rome was a disaster. She fills him in on what happened and asks after John. Brady says he may never wake up and Brady just realized John did what he did because he loved him, not because he wanted to get back at Kristen. He takes off to the hospital.

Jenn arrives at SPD and tells Hope about Abigail's affair with EJ and that Sami got her fired for it. Hope agrees to talk with Sami. Jenn wishes Bo was here. Sami used to listen to him. They worry about John and then Brady and Jenn updates her on her lawsuit. Jenn sings Aiden's praises and tells Hope about their date. Hope calls her a 'free agent'.

Abby arrives at Will and Sonny's to see Arianna. Will feels bad that Abigail is having a tough time finding work. Sonny gets Ari ready and he and Abby pass Zoe on their way to the park. Will hands over a thumb drive to Zoe.

In the park, Marlena wonders if hate's the only thing Eric's feeling for Nicole, just as she walks up. A thief runs up and grabs Nicole's purse and Eric goes after him. He gets the purse back and Nicole thanks him while Marlena gives a statement to a cop. They head to the station.

Brady arrives at the hospital to see John but he's having an MRI so Maxine tells him to go home.

Back at SPD, Sami asks Hope for a restraining order on EJ. Eric, Nicole, and Marlena walk in. Sami hugs her brother and asks if he became a priest again. EJ interrupts. Hope is told there's been an incident on a truck at Salem Inn. Behind him, Daniel walks in with Kristen in cuffs. Everyone gapes.

At the square, Sonny looks pensive while Abby says she's partially glad the affair is out in the open. She'll be fine. At least nobody aside from family knows...
