-Stefano asks Cassie what makes her think she is capable of carrying on the Dimera legacy. She is a Dimera in name but she has not been around the family and believed she was a Brady for 3 years. Cassie says none of that was her fault and was more Stefano's then anything else. He admits that is true but Cassie needs to be around the family more before she can carry that much responsibility. Cassie thinks it is because Stefano did not approve of much of what her father did. Stefano says Tony and him had their differences but it has nothing to do with that. Some of his business practices before Andre kidnapped him were rather disturbing, like the Echelon club, but he still was his son. Cassie asks if there is any word on Tony. Stefano says his people are on it and will let him know when there is word. Andre and Wendell never even left behind clues and Ernesto is lying low so there is no place to go for leads. He is hopeful they will find Tony, if he is alive. Stefano tells Cassie that maybe someday she can fulfill the Dimera legacy but not at the present time. Stefano goes to visit Lexie before surgery while Cassie privately vows to prove to Stefano that she is a true Dimera and can carry on the Dimera empire. The perfect way to do that is to find out who blew up the warehouse and she has an idea where to get info on that.

Caroline says she can't beleive Victor has resorted back to his old ways. She says she can see that frightening evil look in his eyes. Victor says that she is right and he went back to his ways of the past because he became too soft. His loved ones have endured almost constant pain in the years since he turned over a new leaf. He vows to Isabella that he would change but he can't keep being thei kinder, gentler Victor. He can't keep watching people he knows and cares about suffer at the hands of his enemies. He vows they will rule the day they tangled with Victor Kiriakis. Caroline admits she is frightened. She hasn't see Victor like this in years and this is not the Victor she loves and cares about. One innocent person already got hurt in Lexie but there will be many more. Caroline admits she doesn't even know who he is anymore. Victor says Lexie getting hurt will be a message to Stefano that Victor is not going to stand by and let him mess with the lives of his family and friends. He tells Caroline he doesn't care what she thinks of him or what anyone thinks. He needs to do this to protect those he cares about, including her. Caroline tells him that actions like that will only bring more pain. Victor sees it differently and knows they will never agree on this. He tells Caroline that it may be best for her to leave before things get said that they will both regret. Caroline walks out but not before saying that she did the right thing pushing him out of her life and out of Maggie. If this is who he really wants to be, he is no good for anyone. She leaves. Nico asks Victor if he is ok. Victor says to nevermind him. They need to come up with another plot to get rid of Stefano before he retailiates, which he will do once he learns it was him. Nico asks what they should do. Victor says maybe they need to think smaller...and more simpler. Nico thinks he understands and says he wil get right on it. Victor looks at a picture of Caroline and vows to do whatever it takes to protect the ones he loves-even if that means turning his back on some of his loved ones to do it.
