Troy is facing jail after cocaine was found is his car, but he promises EJ to keep quiet if protected inside. His outcry that Arianna, whom he saw whispering with Roman, must be a narc, aimed at Elvis, arouses suspicion, notably from Brady, about her savior's part. Kate fails to appease Stefano's anger at his son's 'treason' and rekindles Philip's bitter attitude by suggesting he shouldn't allow his bride to consort with 'poisonous' Vivian. Voctor is not amused with the latest theory about Carly's daughter and warns Vivian he'll take over unless he gets results fast.

Rafe bitterly complains that Elvis's and even Sami's mistrust of the FBi, including him, caused the ransom note to be cleared off fingerprints except EJ's, but he retorts his people checked it and found nothing. While Carly has nightmares of Vivian executing her to avenge Lawrence, he appears to Vivian to insist on cruel revenge, not simple elimination as Victor demands for Bo's sake.
