-Victor arrives at the pub and sees Caroline at the bar. He gives her a loving glance but decides to just keep his distance. Caroline looks on, disappointed he didn't come over but tells herself it is for the best. Victor sits with Austin and Lucas and asks why they wanted to meet with him. Lucas tells Victor that Austin and him want to join Victor's cause. They heard Bo joined and they want Carrie to be able to return to Salem and raise the baby in a safe Salem, not one with the danger of the Dimera's and others looming upon it. Victor understands their motivation but asks both of them if they know what they are getting into. Bo has police training at least but neither of them have no experience dealing with what they are about to. Lucas reminds Victor of his work with Tony a few years ago. Victor tells Lucas this is a whole different ballgame. Austin tells Victor he has reservations about it too but the only way Carrie will come home is if they clean things up so he asks Victor to just give them a chance. Victor says he can give them a chance and, if they mess up, they could get themselves killed or others. Lucas reminds Victor of how long they have all three known each other and tells him to have faith that this will work. Victor reluctantly agrees and tells both of them what he told Bo-they need to avoid and isolate themselves from their loved ones for this to work. They can't risk interference or anyone they care about getting caught in the crossfire. Kate walks in and overhears and says she will let them join Victor's side over her dead body. Austin begs Kate to stay out of it and explains his and Lucas' reasons for doing this. Kate understands but knows it is dangerous. She went through this same sort of thing when Lucas was working for Tony and when Philip became a marine. She doesn't want to deal with it again. Lucas apologizes but tells his mother she can't talk them out of it.

-Belle and Claire arrive at Sami's apartment to say goodbye as their flight is leaving in a few hours. Sami fills her in on her confessing her lies to everyone and on her giving Lucas unoffcial custody of Will until she proves she can change for good and be worthy of having everyone she loves in her life. Belle applauds her and wishes she could be around to help. Sami understands why Belle is leaving and says they will keep in touch. She tells Belle she is sorry about Shawn. Belle says it is for the best as it was consuming their lives and making them into people they don't want to be. Sami hears someone in the hallway yelling and goes outside to check it out. It's Will, who can't seem to get his key to Lucas's apartment to work. Sami tells Will she will help him. He tells her to stay away and that he doesn't need her. He also calls her "Sami" rather then "mom." Sami reminds Will she is his mother. Will tells her she may be in name and legally but he doesn't feel that way. She has hurt him and their family so many times he wants nothing to do with her. He finally gets in the apartment and slams the door. Sami goes back into her apartment upset. Belle tells Sami to give him time and, once he realizes she is changing, it will all be ok. Sami says she hopes so and just hopes it isn't too late to change. She fears the damage she caused may be too much to get past. She also confesses she is worried about Lexie getting back at her for spilling their secret. She has lost Abe and may lose her job and Theo. Belle tells her not to worry about that and just to worry about herself and her family. If Lexie tries something, Sami should just tell someone or the police and they will take care of it. Belle suggests telling their father but Sami tells her not to go there. Sami embraces Belle. She gives Claire a kiss and wishes them good luck. Belle says it will all be fine with mom watching over them. Sami says i is good to know they have a angel up there in their corner. Belle says a final goodbye and leaves while Sami talks to the heavens and asks Marlena for continued strength as she tries to change and get through all this.
