Will is far from amused to find that Sami 'brought a new toy' when told that after neglecting her family so long, she suddenly 'adopted' baby Grace. When he walks off, Rafe gently pulls him aside for a confidence. In hospital, Stefano questions whether Daniels should treat Tony, who wakes up just enough to hear sneaked-in Nicole warn him about risks during his recovery. Philip needs her to confirm it was an accident.

Stefano, who weeps and even Elvis can barely control their fury over Tony's death, nor their disdain of the ever-bumbling, Brady-prejudiced Salem PD, clearly implying alternative vindictive 'justice'. Philip bitterly marks the irony that now he seems scorned by all others, Victor supportively calls himself proud, yet is relieved when Nicole confirms his innocence, to Stefano's fury, while Elvis suspects a dark motive and swears to decipher Tony's last message, just the letter B. It's Lucas's turn to question Grace's adoption, hinting she must by EJ's baby.
