-Alan is walking the pier in Salem, perplexed due to the fact he has been unable to find any of Carrie's loved ones. He sees an ad on the front page of The Spectator promoting the Horton Halloween Ball and realizes everyone must be there. He hopes Carrie will be appreciative of his efforts and he goes to find a costume.

-The ball is underway at the Penthouse Grille. Maggie arrives and is welcomed by Alice, Doug, Julie, Laura, and Hope. Maggie stresses she is only staying for a little bit and that she is only there to get them all off her back. She goes to get a drink and nearly slips by picking up a glass of champaigne. She notes that she needs to do a better job of concealing her drinking unaware that Caroline saw her slip and is suspicious.

-Roman meets up at the ball with Shane and Abe and asks if they have seen anything. Austin and Lucas arrive and Roman thanks them for helping out. Lucas says he was asked to come anyway since it's his family's event. Roman informs them that he isn't sure if Sami is there but they need to keep an eye out for her and for Alan, should he show up. He tells Austin and Lucas they will put aside their differences in regards to Victor for one night to make sure nothing happens with Sami. They all agree to split up to cover the floor better.

-Sami arrives in costume and makes her way around the ballroom, trying to stay under the radar. She bumps into Eric and Greta and asks what they are doing here together. Eric says they came as friends since Nicole was unavailable again. Sami asks if Nicole knows. Eric says she doesn't and he doesn't care. It's time she learned a lession. Sami says she wouldn't want to be him when Nicole finds out and she leaves to get a drink. Greta asks Eric if he wants to call Nicole. Eric refuses and says that Nicole will figure things out on her own. The clock on his life is ticking and if he can't have the woman he loves with him then he will just enjoy the time he has with family and friends. Greta and him toast to that.

-Nicole returns to the suite and is shocked that Eric is gone. She wonders where he went and realizes his costume gone and he left without her. She quickly gets dressed and heads for the ball.

-Abe sees Celeste and asks if she has had any more visions. She says she has and that evil is closing in, along with more pain and suffering. It will be a night of emotional upheaval is her claim. Abe privately worries over what this means as Celeste always seems to be right. Meanwhile, Stefano and Lexie are on their way to the ball in his limo. She asks if this is the best idea and he says it is and that it is about time Salem felt the full presence of the Dimera's.

-Caroline asks Hope if Bo is coming. Hope says she doubts it based on how they left things last night. She tells Caroline she is really worried about him and doesn't know what to do to get through to him. Caroline says they will just have to pray things get better.

-Victor and Bo are at the mansion discussing plans for their strike on Stefano. Victor senses that Bo is conflicted and asks if he is having doubts about their alliance. Bo says he is doing what he needs to do and what is necessary but it's killing him to be away from those he loves. Victor knows it is but says it has to be that way to be successful and protect them and that he still has him by his side as his father. Bo says he never thought of him as his father but he really is and never thought he would see the day when they were finally on the same page and fighting on the same side after everything they have been through. Victor agrees and says it's nice for a change and vows to Bo that they will succeed.

-Caroline bumps into Maggie and says she is happy to see she moved out of Victor's mansion. Maggie says she did it for Victor so he can do what needs to do. Caroline is shocked that Maggie is supporting Victor's war on the Dimera's. Maggie says she hopes Victor destroys them for what they did to all of them and tells Caroline that Victor's actions are justified. Caroline disagrees while Maggie tells Caroline her opinion doesn't matter and no cares about it. She tells Caroline to just go about her business and not to interfere and that, if she tries, she will stop her as Victor's friend despite having moved out. Caroline asks if that is a threat. Maggie says it's a promise as she wants her husband's death avenged.

-Kate arrives and can't wait to spring a surprise on Laura.

-Jack and Billie bump into each other. Jack asks if she is ok after what happened at the house. Billie says she doesn't want to discuss it at the risk of it being twisted by Laura or someone else and excuses herself. Jack walks away, upset to see things so tense with Billie and him as Laura smiles from afar.

-Abby continues to contemplate taking the meth and finally chickens out, prompting her to get ragged on and insulted. Abby tells Chelsea that she will have a drink but she will not smoke or do drugs. Chelsea reluctantly agrees and says Abby can start small. She tells everyone to lay off her as she is a beginner. Chelsea brings her a simple beer and tells her to she if she can handle that. Abby takes a few sips and enjoys it and begins to drink some more. Chelsea smiles and says that is the spirit. Meanwhile, two guys watch from afar and have targeted Abby and Chelsea. They note how the brown haired girl looks "easy" and how the blonde should be a challenge since she seems sweet and naive. They admit they can't wait to get their hands on them.

-Cassie meets up with Max at the ball. He is shocked to see her there. She says she came since it's charity and to call it the "Brady" in her. They laugh and he asks if she has said anything about them making love. She reminds Max that she promised she wouldn't and she will hold to that. She tells him she knows it will never happen again and she only wants to be his friend. He thanks her and kisses her on the cheek and says he would love if they hung around together tonight. He goes to get them some drinks as she slyly smiles that her family is far from through with him, as is she.

-Lexie and Stefano enter the ballroom, causing a major stir. Abe is stunned, as is Celeste. Stefano asks that everyone go about their business. He knows the Dimera presence is cause for attention but he doesn't want to upstage the party. Roman and Caroline both tell them to leave but Lexie tells them they have just as good reason to be there as they do and walk away. Abe and Celeste look at Lexie, who gives them a cold stare back. Victor and Bo are watching the ball on local news coverage and Victor tells Bo to get into costume as they are going to a ball. Bo asks why and Victor tells him he will see when they get there.

-Roman, Shane, and Abe meet up. Austin walks over and explains Lucas had to handle something for his family and that he has some bad news. Roman asks if that means there has been some sign of Alan or Sami. Austin says he talked to Eric and Greta and they just got done talking to Sami. Roman says they can't take a chance if Alan is there and that they need to find Sami before she finds Alan. Roman and Abe both order that they must keep an eye on Stefano and Lexie as well. Meanwhile, Sami heads over to a food table and is standing next to a man, who is unrecognizable due to his costume. She is unaware that it's Alan just as he is unaware that it's her.

-Eric and Greta are dancing and she asks if he is ok. He says he hates to say this to her but he wishes Nicole was here. His time is running out and nothing is working for them. Greta says she feels bad for him and that she is there to help him through all this. He tells Greta he doesn't know where he would be without her. They embrace while they dance as a costumed and angry Nicole looks on from afar.

-Jack takes a break from covering the Ball to try to talk to Billie again. Billie says she has no interest right now in talking to him and that she wants him to leave her alone right now. She walks away as Laura looks on, pleased with what is happening. Kate sees her and asks Laura if she is having a good time. Laura says it's going well. Julie signals to her it's time and Laura says she has to go. Kate asks what the hurry is as she has a surprise for her. Laura says she has no time. Kate says she will want to make the time as she has someone with her who would be very interested in her actions of late. A familiar voice then says from behind Laura, "Hello, Laura. You've been quite busy, haven't you?" Laura turns around and is stunned to see a masked man take off his mask to reveal himself as Bill Horton as Kate looks on, happy and satisified.

-Bo and Victor arrive and also cause a stir. Roman, Billie, Hope and Caroline are stunned, along with many in the ballroom. Bo asks why they are there and Victor tells him they are there to send a message. Bo sees Hope and they share a long glance. Hope walks over and asks why he is there. Bo says on business and walks away, leaving Hope alone. Julie comes over to Hope and tell her they need her and that it's time.

-Julie goes to get Laura and is pleased to see Bill. She tells Laura it's time. Laura tells Kate and Bill they can finish their discussion later. Bill reunites with his son, Lucas and the rest of the Horton's. Julie asks Bill to just follow their lead as they are going to try to help Maggie. Maggie walks over and asks why they are all in a corner of the ballroom and why Lucas, Hope, Alice, Hope, Julie, Doug, and Bill are all together like there is something going on. Julie says there is and asks Maggie to turn around. She does and is shocked to see Melissa. Melissa runs over to her and hugs her. Someone taps her on the shoulder and asks Maggie not to forget about her. It's Sarah. Maggie realizes she never even saw them arrive because they were in costume. Maggie embraces her and then recalls Mickey's death and how they styaed on the island because she wanted to help out and chose not to get on the rescue boat. She sees her family around her and looks into their eyes and begins to hear voices blaming her for Mickey's death. She clutches her head and is clearly overwhelmed. Laura tries to calm her but she runs away from them and right into a costumed man's arms. She looks up at the man's masked face and tells him to let her go. The man takes off the mask revealing the face of Don Craig. He asks Maggie why she is running as he just arrived and the ball is just beginning. Maggie looks at Don and her family all around her while in tears and then begins to break down uncontrollably, getting the whole ballroom's attention. Laura and Bill try to calm her again as Maggie screams out repeatedly for all of them to stay away from her.

The screen fades to black and the credits roll.
