Salem, Illinois

-Frankie, Cassie, and Kate arrive at Chex Rouge. Everyone is stunned that Kate is there and Laura tells her to get out. Cassie admits to everyone she invited Kate and apologizes. She was hoping they could keep a low profile. Kate is still like a mother to her and her sons and grandson are guests so she figured she would bring her. Kate says she knew it would be a mistake but Bill says it's ok-she can stay. Alice agrees and says it's a holiday and the past should be left behind them today. They need each other right now with all that is going on and with all that might be coming their way, according to Celeste's premonitions. Kate thanks them for their hospitatlity and goes over with Cassie to Austin, Lucas, and Will. Caroline asks Frankie where Max is and he explains that he went to take care of something.

-Max is still watching the happenings on the bridge and can't beleive that all this is going on in broad daylight. The drinking, smoking, drugs, heavy partying-he can;t understand why no one has reported this. He always heard about things like this going on at Salem Bridge but not like this. He then sees the partygoers dancing and sees Abby and Chelsea dancing with Seth and Paul in a very provocative way. Max says enough is enough and decides to take action. Meanwhile, Chelsea is having a good time and is clearly beginning to feel the effects of the alcohol she has consumed. Abby seems uncomfortable and hasn't drank at all. Seth asks her if she is ok. Abby nods. Seth asks why she isn't having any fun. He reminds her it's a party and she needs to let loose. Abby says she is fine for now. They continue to dance and he puts his hand under Abby's blouse. She jumps back in shock just as Max arrives and orders Abby and Chelsea to leave with him right now.

-Sami informs Caroline that she still is unable to get a hold if Eric or Nicole. Julie says that Greta seems to MIA too. They hope everything is ok. Celeste then begins to moan and closes her eyes. She then warns that tragedy will not just occur in Sydney-Salem will see a great deal of it tonight as well. Everyone looks on stunned.

-Nicole is walking the pier, frustrated with herself for not going to Eric's earlier this morning. She can't bring herself to do it because she is afraid of what she will find and afraid that her suspicions may be correct. She finally decides she needs to know once and for all and heads for his suite. Meanwhile, Greta is still by Eric's side as he is worsening. She feels helpless and wants to get him help but he won't let her. Eric does tell her there is something she can do for him. He knows that Nicole is going to come over to the suite at some point because she is suspicious so he needs her help with something. Greta asks what it is. Eric says he needs her to help him make sure Nicole leaves Salem for Highstyle in LA ASAP. Greta wonders what he wants her to do.

Sydney, Australia

-In Sydney, Maggie is begging an unconscious Victor to wake up. She hears Dimera men coming and tells Victor they need to get out of there now. Victor comes to and asks what she is doing there. She says there is no time to explain and she helps him up. They then make a run for it as Dimera henchmen realize they are nearby and are in hot pursuit. Victor and Maggie manage to hide in an airshaft until the men pass and then return to the tunnels. Maggie explains why she is in Sydney and Victor rolls his eyes and lectures her about putting her life in danger. He reminds her she promised not to interfere. Maggie says she came to help and won't stand in the way. She just wants to make sure Stefano and the Dimera's pay for what they have done to everyone, including her. They are then snuck up on from behind by Dimera guards and dragged off as Stefano watches with glee smoking a cigar.

-Bo lets go of Hope and asks her why she is in Sydney. Hope explains everything to him and says she came to save him. Bo says that he shouldn't be surprised. Hope smiles and then gets serious telling Bo this has to end. They can take on the Dimera's together but this mob war needs to end. It's not him. She knows something is going on and tells Bo that it's time to put an end to this right now before he and others get killed. Bo says he is doing this for the people he loves. The pain and suffering has to end. Hope says they can end it the right way-together on the right side of the law. Bo is about to answer when they are ambushed by Dimera men. They try to fight them off but end up overpowered and dragged off. Stefano is watching this and smiling, pleased that his plans for revenge are unfolding.

-Abe is stunned to see Lexie there. She tells him it's Alexandra now. That is her real name and the name that personifies her heritage and legacy as a Dimera. Abe asks how she can do this to him. She lashes out at him and says he betrayed her and that everyone she cared about betrayed her. Her friends, family-everyone. They all supported him and watched as her son was ripped away from her and they didn't even care. Abe reminds Lexie he wanted to negotiate with her but she forced the issue for full custody. She screwed things up. Lexie says she is glad their relationship is over. She can't even stand to look at him. Abe looks into Lexie's eyes and says he still sees the Lexie he fell in love with deep down. He can tell that somewhere inside she hates what she is doing to him and to her loved ones. She hates how she cut her mother out of her life and turned to the Dimera's again. He knows the "old" Lexie is still there. He can see it in her eyes and he hasn't seen that in awhile but, perhaps, it's because he hasn't looked on awhile. Lexie looks at him and turns as one single tear slides down her cheek.

-Jack and Billie are making their way through the airshaft. They talk about what happened between them back at home and Jack explains he talked to Alice and she gave him some great advice. He doesn't want to lose Billie in his life and apologizes for how he treated her. Billie accepts and apologizes too for any wrongdoing on her part. She says they can work it out at home. They move along.

-Roman and Shane explore the tunnels and hope Abe is ok. Roman says they aren't leaving the compound without him. Shane concurs. They then hear muffled voices coming from a room. They lean close to the door and hear the voices a little louder. They pick the lock and enter the room. Stefano laughs while watching on the monitor and says it's like leading lambs to their slaughter.

-Steve and Kayla are silent in their cell. Kayla asks if this is how it's going to be until they get rescued. He says he has no idea what to say to her. She says that is fine but wants that she is not going to give up on him or their future. She will follow him to the ends of the earth and do whatever it takes. She is not letting him give up or run away. Steve tries to argue but Kayla urges him to save his breath. He can't and won't resist. She says that it will all work out and he just needs to trust her and give it a realistic chance once they get out of here and home to Salem. Steve laughs sarcastically and says like that is going to happen.

-At that moment, Kayla hears voices and and races over to the cell door with Steve. They are shocked to see Roman and Shane. Roman makes eye contact with them and is shocked that they are really here and they found them. Shane and Roman bust the locks on the door. Roman embraces his sister and then Steve and Shane does the same. Shane tells Steve how good it is to see him. Kayla fills them both in on what happened with Steve and that he has amnesia. Roman says they can talk later. They need to find Abe and leave now. The four of them turn around and find themselves being held at gunpoint bt Dimera henchmen. Roman tries to overpower them but there are too many and they drag all four of them off.

-Back in Salem, everyone at Chex Rouge reacts to Celeste's premonition. Celeste warns that the events of tonight in both Sydney and Salem will be tragic and that it will lead to even more pain and suffering. Alice says that they will just have to pray that things will work out. Julie comes out and says that dinner is ready but Melissa and Don fill her in on what happened while she was in the kitchen. She says the dinner can wait and that they need to pray for their loved ones. Frankie and Cassie worry about where Max is and Kate tells Austin she is worried about Chelsea.

-Seth and Paul tell Max to back off. The girls are just having a little fun. Max looks at Abby and says that it doesn't look like it to him. He grabs Abby and says they are leaving. Abby smiles at seeing how concerned Max is about her. Max grabs Chelsea as well but she resists. Abby grabs hold of Chelsea and says she is coming with them. They don't belong here. Chelsea says she wants to party and no one is stopping her. Max lifts her above his shoulders and says she is coming with them whether she likes it or not. Abby apologizes to Seth and Paul and says it just isn't her thing to be at these kinds of things. Chelsea vows to be back soon. Abby walks off with Max, who is carrying Chelsea.

-Paul asks Seth what they should do now. Seth says they have plenty of other people here to party with and says he thinks Chelsea will be back and, when she is, they will have to make sure she don't talk about what she saw tonight. Same goes for her friend, who he believes will follow her to protect her. Paul asks what they are going to do. Seth smiles and says "what they have to do."

-Nicole arrives at Eric's suite and knocks but there is no answer. One of the maids walks by and recognizes her. Nicole asks to be let in. The maid knows she can trust her and unlocks the door. Nicole thanks her and slowly opens the door. Her face turns to shock as she sees Eric and Greta in each other's arms in bed with clothes on the floor. Nicole believes that her suspicions have been confirmed and quietly closes the door and breaks down in the hallway.

-In Sydney, Abe tells Lexie she can stop this. Lexie remains silent and wipes the tears from her eyes. Stefano is witnessing this on the monitors and says that, in due time, Alexandra will forget about Abe and her "friends" and will live up to her name as soon all their enemies will be destroyed. Abe and Lexie are then stunned when Bo, Hope, Victor, Maggie, Roman, Shane, Steve, and Kayla are all dragged in by Dimera men. Everyone is shocked to see each other. Stefano watches on the monitors and then picks up a microphone to announce something to his captives.

Stefano: Hello, my worthy foes. The day of reckoning has arrived. Now nothing will stop the revenge on the Dimera's. Prepare to know our full wrath, dear enemies!!!

Stefano laughs uncontrollably as everyone in the room, including Lexie, wonders what will happen next.

-Jack and Billie are moving along the airshaft. They see two Dimera men below them and hear them talking about "snuffing too more intruders out." Billie wonders what they mean. They continue to move along after the men are gone and Jack says he hears something. Billie sniffs and realizes gas is being released into the vents. They both begin to cough and frantically race to find a way out as the screen freezes on them and fades to black.
