At Salem University Hospital, Nicole stays by Eric’s side. She has tears running down her face and leaves to go out into the hallway. Once there she informs the shocked family members that her and Eric are going to get married. Caroline walks up to her and, after a moment’s hesitation, congratulates her. She tells her she has really changed for the better and would be honored to have her as a Brady.

-Hope and Billie run into each other in the hallway. She asks Billie to walk with her. Once they get outside. Hope doesn’t mince words and gets right to the point. She wants Billie to help her stop Bo from continuing his involvement in this DiMera/Kiriakis mafia war. Billie jerks away from her, telling her she should have thought about his involvement during all the times she turned her back on him.

Hope is pissed. She tells Billie it’s none of her business what went on between those two, especially since her daughter killed her son. Billie fires back, saying why in the hell did Hope come to her wanting her help?! She then tells Hope that Bo may be in this mess because Hope has spent all of her time believing everyone else but him. Everyone and their mama has came up to her speaking of Bo in a horrible fashion and after twenty years together, she believes them over him, so, whose the damn hypocrite here?!

Hope looks at Billie with shame, telling her that no matter how much it kills her to say this, she’s right. Hope would throw the fact that she can’t keep her hands off her husband at her (Which causes Billie to place her hands on her hips and frown up angrily), but how can she say one word when every time she could have just believed Bo, she didn’t. She looks at Billie and apologizes to her for trying to get her involved. Hope says it’s her mess and she’ll clean it up. She tells Billie goodbye and leaves.

The scene then slowly dissolves into Bo, laying in a chair at the hospital. He is having another strong flashback to a traumatic childhood memory and he can’t seem to shake it. He once again calls out for Shawn Sr., Caroline, Roman, and Kimberly but they can’t help him. He suddenly jumps up sweating and looking around frantically, making sure that he is safe.

Sami has Roman’s head cradled in her lap, with tears streaming down her face. She calls for help:

Sami: Please! Someone help me!

When personnel rush in, they pick Roman up and place him on a gurney. When a nurse ask what happened, Sami replies:

Sami: He fainted. He had given blood earlier today, but must have done it once more. My brother, Eric Brady, is down the hall, and he wanted to help, I guess.

Doctor: Is this Roman Brady?

Sami: Yes. Yes it is.

Sami holds onto her purse, looking on as the hospital personnel work on her father. The doctors and nurse stabilize Roman and he slowly comes to. Sami is standing right there, demanding to know one answer:

Sami: What the hell is wrong with you?! Eric is fighting for his life, and you do something stupid like this! You should have your damn head examined!

Roman: (Trying to regain his senses) What damn difference does it matter to you?! I’ve got nothing but nasty attitude from you for the last 15 years. You don’t give a damn what happens to me!

Sami: (Yelling) You are a damn lier! (Stomping her feet) I’ve always loved you, Daddy!!!

Both look at each other, shocked. Roman says:

Roman: Get the nurse. I think I’m going to pass out again.

Sami is shocked as well, and clutches her handbag tightly, no believing what she just said.

-Victor joins Caroline in one of the waiting rooms. He walks up to her and hands her a cup of coffee. She accepts but is none too pleased to see him after the events in Sydney. He tells her he wishes she would understand his motives and reasons behind his actions. She says she doesn’t give a damn about his actions. All she cares about is her baby boy coming home with 4 bullet wounds in him, all because of him.

Victor says he would give his life for any of his children. Caroline tells him he seems to have forgotten the promise he made to Isabella. Victor grows intently quiet and stares at Caroline. She said yes, he heard her. What would she say if she saw what has happened to her brother all because of him? She says don’t do anything for my family thinking it will make headway with her because until Bo is out of this war, they have nothing to say.

As she leaves she turns and thanks him anyway, for what he is doing for Eric.

-Roman witnesses Caroline walk away from Victor. Victor feels he ca use this gesture to rub salt in Roman’s wounds where his family is concerned but what Victor doesn’t notice is Roman getting up off of his gurney and walking slowly towards him. Roman stands behind, waiting for Kayla and Greta to thank him. He is holding himself up slightly and when Victor turns around, he lambasts him, telling him that he will take care of his son, not Victor. Caroline walks up behind Roman and turns him around, jumping on him for giving blood so soon after doing it the first time. Roman doesn’t really care about himself. All that’s most important to him is his son. And he can’t believe that she would be accepting of anything from Victor Kiriakis!

Sami stands off from everyone else, watching the entire scene, but paying special attention to Roman. She smiles ever so slightly, surprised that she is secretly cheering him on as he protects his family.

Victor gets a phone call and tells everyone the helicopter he bought for his trip for Eric is there. He promises everyone he’ll return ASAP. Roman says over his dead body and races past Victor, heading to the roof. Having gotten his strength back, coupled with a burst of adrenaline, Roman kicks the door to the roof open and waits for the copter to land. Victor follows closely behind and, standing behind what’s left of the door is Sami, watching the whole scene.

The copter lands and Victor tries to push past Roman. But, Roman grabs Victor and pushes him away. When Victor regains his footing, he storms towards to copter but gets stopped dead in his tracks when Roman pulls his gun! He says loudly to Victor:

Roman: Eric is my son! The Bradys are my family! You cost us the life of the finest man who ever live. My father. I’ll be DAMNED if I’ll let you anywhere near any of them again!

Victor: You are so damn smug and arrogant, Roman! Do you honestly think your mother & family would approve of your methods?!

Roman: This coming from a mafia godfather?! That’s rich! I’ll save my son’s life, and I’ll watch over MY family. And if you take one step towards this copter........

I’LL KILL YOU WHERE YOU STAND!!!

The screen fades out on an angry Roman's face.
