-Maggie is stunned to see that Caroline has told Lucas about what happened at the PG. Maggie tells them if they are here to lecture her they are too late. She has already seen the light-she is done drinking and done making herself and her loved ones suffer. Lucas and Caroline look at each other and wonder if they heard Maggie right. She says they did. She knows that she put them and the rest of her family through hell, and she will now make it her life’s mission to stop drinking and pull herself together. Lucas reminds her that it wasn’t easy for him when he fell off the wagon. Sami’s lies almost destroyed him. Caroline also wonders if Maggie is upset with everyone for sticking their noses in her business. She says that had they not, she surely would be dead. She thanks Lucas and Caroline, and asks them not to tell anyone what has been happening with her. As they leave, they both promise her that they won’t, but hope she will finally get the help she needs to move on. Maggie then looks lovingly at a picture of Mickey and vows to make him proud of her again.

-Meanwhile, at Sami’s place, Austin gets through moving the rest of his things into Sami’s apartment. Once through, Sami tells him to sit down. They need to talk. Once he does, Sami bears her soul, telling Austin that she is every grateful for this act of kindness on his part, especially after some of the horrible things she’s done over the years. Him moving in really isn't needed but she appreciates it. Austin tells her that even though he can’t forget, he certainly can’t sit idly by and leave her unprotected against Alan. She understands that, but she tells him that it goes deeper than that. In order for her to really mature, she has to grow up and stop acting like some love sick schoolgirl who has a crush on the high school jock. She feels it’s past time for her to move on. She thinks that after all the years of doing mean, nasty, horrible things to him and everyone she loves, it’s time to let him go, so she can be happy. Austin is impressed, but cautions that she has made this declaration before. How can he trust that she won’t do anything else to get what she wants? She says that all she can do is prove that to him. Austin finally says that if she is sincere, he can forgive her for what she’s done, but also tells her not to channel her anger towards Alan or it could destroy her. Sami tells Austin that all she wants is for Lucas to be as understanding as he is right now and no, she won’t let Alan get to her. As Austin leaves to take a shower, he kisses her on her forehead. She vows that she will handle Alan in her own way - and in due time.

-As Sami plots against Alan, Max and Frankie meet in Jack’s backyard. Max reveals that ever since he rescued Abby tonight he just can’t seem to get his mind off of her. As Abby listens in, Max goes on about the dreams he’s been having about her. Max puts it off as having bonded with her after the island tragedy. Frankie then asks if he has had any dreams about Chelsea. He tells him hell no. Why should he have nightmares about her? It's over for them after everything that happened between them. Frankie tells him that the mind is a strange thing. It’s up to him to decipher why he has these feelings for Abby, and feels that he won’t get any peace until he does figure this whole thing out. As Frankie buds Max goodbye, he leaves him to contemplate what he’s feeling, and what he will do next. Abby, having watched Frankie leave, grins from ear to ear, ecstatic that Max is apparently falling in love with her. She thinks that maybe acting the way she did has finally paid off. She goes upstairs and sees Chelsea still past out drunk on her bed. She now vows to get Max any way she can and, after picking up his picture, says that nothing and no one will stand in her way. If this new behavior worked in tearing her father away from Billie and if it bothered Max so much already, she needs to continue to do it and she will have Max. She holds Max’s picture close to her, and daydreams of the future.

-Bill once again jumps in Laura’s tail, warning him that he is just about sick and tired of her using Abby to achieve her own ends. He tells Laura that this is it. If she doesn’t stop with all the selfish crap and right now, he will march her in there and tell both Jack and Billie about what she’s been up to. Laura begs him not to, and promises that she will behave from now on. Bill calls her a liar, and tells her she is no better than Kate, another woman who will ruin anyone and then act like Mother Theresa when she’s caught, like she has done nothing wrong. Laura tells him that she is nothing like Kate. She walks away from Bill, turns, and faces him, telling him that she promises not to interfere anymore, if he promises not to tell anyone what she’s been doing. He says fine, he once again will keep quiet, but tells her this is getting really old. He says for her to stop making promises and just leave those two alone. She says she will, but secretly vows to keep Jack and Billie apart, no matter what it takes. Bill and Laura then walk over to Jack and Billie and bid them a good evening.

-Billie says that she can’t believe that Jack has let Abby manipulate him in such a fashion. Jack snaps around and takes three huge steps towards Billie. He points his finger in her face, telling her that he should have his head examined for ever even getting involved with her in the first place. The love of his life is gone, and for some reason, he thought Abby needed a female influence in her life. He thought having his good friend around so much would get them through all this but it has only made things seemingly worse. But, he was wrong. He says no more. It is time for them to go their separate ways. Billie is shocked. She tells him that he is making a huge mistake. He says it wouldn’t be the first time. He hates that he has to end their friendship, but it must be done for the sake of his children. He has enjoyed their times together but it has to happen. Billie blames Laura and Abby for his decision. Jack tells her to stop blaming those two for what is happening. Her mother is gone. They need him more than anything right now. Billie tries to convince him that she only recently started acting out, and Jennifer has been dead since this past summer. Jack yells that he doesn’t care if it were yesterday or ten years ago, she needs him and that’s final. With tears streaming down his face, his voice shakes as he tells her that if anything happens with Chelsea, he will let her know. He turns and walks back inside, as Billie silently says “bye”. She then breaks down, silently crying at the loss of their friendship.

-Alexandra walks back into the DiMera Mansion, and is shocked to see suitcases. Cassie walks downstairs, and Alexandra ask what is going on. Cassie tells her that “Grandfather has left her in charge while you two take a trip.” Lexie says, “So, I guess you are the mistress of the mansion. Don’t get used to it, little girl. I won’t be gone long.” At that moment, Stefano comes downstairs, happy that everything is set and ready to go. He says to Lexie, “Pack your bags, my dear. We’re going to the land down under.” Lexie exclaims, “For what reason? And who said I wanted to go to the Outback?” Stefano answers, “I just thought you wanted to witness your enemies’ destruction at my hands. Steve & Kayla Johnson are already indisposed. And very soon, the call will go out to her brothers for help and Victor will get drawn in wanting to track me down as an open target.” Walking towards his chessboard, he says, in an evil tone, “It’s about time I wiped out that entire family. They have been a thorn in my side for 25 years, and it’s time for them to pay the price for going up against me, especially Roman Brady. I guess changing his face and stealing his past wasn’t enough. Now, he must learn.” Stefano also mentions that Abe will likely fall into the trap as well. Alexandra gets excited, saying to Stefano, “If Abe will be there so much the better. He will pay for stealing my son from me. The bastard.” She turns to hide her frown from him. Cassie sees this and says that there is still love there. Alexandra says this is true, but he has to be taught a lesson. With that, she runs upstairs to pack. Stefano tells Cassie that soon Alexandra will have no feelings left for Abe and, even if he does, him and his enemies will be destroyed so there will be nothing to worry about.

-When Alexandra returns, she’s packed and ready. Stefano tells Cassie that if there is any trouble to contact him on his secret line and for her to follow the instructions he left to the letter. She obeys, kissing him and Alexandra on their cheeks. She bids them a fond farewell, as she walks them to the door. Once inside his limousine, he tells Alexandra to enjoy these moments. To finally see the family’s enemies pay is a once-in-a-lifetime-event. They both laugh as they toast with champaigne and drive away. Cassie closes the door and walks back into the main chamber, and then starts ordering servants around. She intends to be waited on hand and foot and proceeds to sit in the living room, as she laughs loudly.

The screen fades to black.
