- John and Kristen strike up a deal. As he holds his baby in his arms and has an emotional meeting with his son, John agrees to Kristen's deal.

- Sami and Annie manage to cover in front of Lucas and Eric. Annie begs Eric to give her another chance. Eric tells Annie that the only way he'll give her another shot is if she confesses her and Sami's secret to him.

- Shane emerges from the flames with.......LAWRENCE! Lawrence is in handcuffs. An emotional Kayla runs to Lawrence and begins hitting and pounding him. Shane comes between them as he places Lawrence in the hands of other I.S.A. agents. Kayla breaks down in Shane's arms saying that she can't believe she has lost Steve once again. Shane holds Kayla, and they fall to the ground.

- Annie asks Sami to help her win Eric back, but Sami tells Annie that their partnership is over. Annie tells Sami that she has information about Carrie and Austin that Sami wants to know. Sami agrees to Annie's deal. Sami and Annie concoct a fake secret for Annie to tell Eric.

- Lawrence is taken away by the I.S.A. Agents, but first, Kayla and Hope each have choice words for him. They explain that if anything has happened to their husbands, then they will track him down in whatever prison he is in and kill him themselves. Lawrence warns them they haven't seen the last of him. Fiesty Hope snarls back that it's the other way around...Lawrence hasn't seen the last of THEM!

- John is horrified when he learns of the terms of Kristen's deal. John tells her there is no way he will do this. Kristen calmly explains to John that he needs to do this if he wants to keep his baby and if he wants to re-unite Marlena with their son. John refuses.

- Sami "confesses" Annie's secret to Eric....Sami tells Eric that Annie thought she was pregnant! Eric does not believe that this was the secret, but when he calls the lab technician who ran her pregnancy tests, he confirms it. Unknown to Eric, this is the same man Annie and Sami blackmailed into helping them declare Carrie's baby "dead." Eric and Lucas feel guilty as they realize they assumed the worst about Sami and Annie.

- A body burned beyond recognition is pulled from the flames and pronounced dead on the scene. Shane approaches Hope and Kayla with a horrible look on his face. Each woman shakes her head no. Shane takes Kayla's hand and places something inside it. Kayla begins screaming and flailing her arms. Hope tries to calm her. Through the flailing, Kayla drops the item. Hope picks it up....Steve's dog tags. Kayla's high-pitched shrieks can be heard throughout the streets of London. FREEZE FRAME.
