Troy's attempt to strangle Arianna is foiled by passing-by Elvis, who pretends not to know Troy. Carly's absurdly-vehement hostility to Vivian for approaching Melanie, whose wedding dress gets coffee-stained in the turmoil, only arouses suspicion she may by Carly's bastard daughter, so Gus is instructed to make sure. Brady is not amused when Chloe insists that jailed Nicole, who told him to stay away, needs his comfort.

Rafe sadly reproaches Sami to have wrecked the ransom surveillance by being unable to truly trust him. To Philip's relief, Victors nearly chokes in laughter when asked if he loves seemingly inseparable Vivian. Informed that Roman can't prevent Arianna being jailed again now her undercover mission fell trough, Rafe blackmails the FBI to undo that or face a public scandal. Finding baby medicine in Elvis's coat, Stefano suspects foul play, but Sami helps him by confirming they use it for Johhny. Victor's mood turns grimly gloomy when Vivian shows proof, found by Gus, that not Mia but Philip's bride is Carly's daughter, so they must consider another vengeance object.
