-Kayla is having a hard time sleeping in the cell. Steve reminds her that she hasn't slept well at all since she ended up locked up with him. He says he hasn't slept much over the years either. Being locked up for so long and moved from place to place just drove him crazy and it's so uncomfortable. Kayla admits she just can't relax and doesn't feel secure as she is afraid someone will split them apart while they sleep. Steve says he would never let that happen. Kayla wonders if his feelings for her are coming to the surface. Steve says he has remembered or felt nothing but he likes having someone with him and has come to like her. He doesn't like being alone. Kayla tries to go to sleep again and fails. Steve then says to let him try something and he puts his arms around her and asks if that is better and if she feels safe and secure. Kayla says she does and that this is where he should be-in her arms. It's where he belongs. Steve says nothing. Later, Kayla has a romantic dream while asleep about Steve remembering everything and reuniting with her and Stephanie. Kayla talks in her sleep and says she loves Steve and that he is making all her dreams come true. Steve hears it and admits being close to her with his arms around her feels right but he isn't sure he can make her happy and make her dreams come true when he can't remember her or his feelings for her. Kayla moves closer to him as Steve is deeply troubled about what is going on.

-Eric returns to the suite to find the broken picture of him and Nicole on the floor and Nicole crying on the bed. He asks what happened. She lashes out at him for what he said to her earlier. Eric apologizes and says he was far too harsh. He was just worried about Sami and so mad about her jealous rage at the ball. Nicole says that she doesn't like how close he is getting to Greta. Everytime she isn't around, he is with her and given their past she is concerned. Eric says she has nothing to worry about. Nicole says she does-she knows he has had a secret since they both returned to Salem and he has never told her what it is. She admits to Eric she asked Sami and Greta months ago to help her find out but while Sami has done nothing, Greta has spent loads of time with him and it makes her wonder. All that time spent with him should've given Greta some hints as to whatever he was keeping yet she has told her nothing. Eric tells her he has no secret bit Nicole gets very angry and tells Eric she is not stupid and he knows better then to play her for a fool. He should just own up to his secret like a man. She can take it. Eric stays silent. Nicole asks Eric if his secret is that he never wanted a future with her when he returned and that he only came back and asked her to join him so he could set her up to get revenge on her for hurting him in the past, as well as messing things up for him before he left Salem 6 years ago. She asks if having an affair with Greta is a part of that and if that is why he is spending so much time with her. Eric denies all that and insists Greta is a friend. He is offended Nicole would even think he would do that. He is over everything she did to him and what happened. Nicole says she wishes she could beleive him but he has a secret. She knows it and so does many he cares about. She begs him to come clean. Eric tells Nicole there is nothing to tell. Nicole gets angry and says she doesn't know why she bothers. She left LA for him and now she has to choose between him and her job. Eric asks what she means. Nicole explains what has been happening at Highstyle and that she either goes back to LA to run Highstyle or gives up her dream job. Eric looks down and asks Nicole what she wants. He then admits he already has an idea because of her leaving him constantly. Nicole insists that she only left for meetings so many times so she could stay here with him. She was trying to have the best of both worlds but she can't. She needs to choose and right now he is making the choice easy for her. He says he feels the same and tells Nicole that maybe they are through. Nicole is stunned. Eric says maybe it's time to end it before they make each other even more miserable. Nicole is shocked he is giving up and says if Eric wants that he can have it and leaves angry. After she leaves, Eric says it's what he has to do-he has to let her go so she can move on. After all, he is dying anyway so letting her give up her dream job for someoen dying is stupid. He would've done this before if he knew about the decision she was comtemplating. He says he only wants her to be happy and giving her up will do that. Outside, Nicole breaks down in the Salem Inn hallway and says that maybe it's time to think about leaving Salem and returning to LA.

They leave as Max says he will take her home. Back in the house, Abby tells Jack that Billie is trying to get rid of her like she said before.

They are worried about her and what she may do as well as Alan. They don't trust him and despite working with Victor and him wanting them to stay away from those they care about for their protection and so forth, they feel they have to help protect Sami. Sami is stunned since they were so mad at her over what she did to Carrie, Lexie, and all of them. Lucas says that the Alan issue and her protection are more important. They will make time in between Victor and their normal jobs to help her. Austin then makes the suggestion that he move back in.

Roman says he isn't sure but he will try his best to find out. Nearby, Shane overheard the conversation and places a call to Carrie filling her in on what is going on. Carrie is concerned she may get caught. Shane says maybe it's for the best. Carrie says she can't be caught and can't return to Salem right now until things with the baby get resolved. She will just have to work something out and asks Shane to run a search for her mother, Anna. If they find her, she may be able to meet up with her and get to know her mother and have her there to help her. Shane says that he likes that better then her with Alan and says he will try, even though he thinks all this should end. Carrie thanks him.

Mystery Person: The Brady's...and Roman Brady. Already so much pain and turmoil for them...and they haven't even felt my wrath yet. But...they will and very, very soon everything they are going through now will be like child's play.
