Outside Alice's restaurant, Brady waited on the porch while a cloaked and bandaged Chloe lurked nearby trying to work up the nerve to reveal herself. Judge Fitzpatrick stopped by to talk to Brady about Philip and she told Brady that Philip had a leg amputated. Upon hearing the news, Chloe gasped. Although Brady heard her, he did not find her.

Inside Alice's restaurant, Nicole sat at the bar contemplating whether Sami was Stan based on a tip from Tony that Stan was in the restaurant without his disguise. An edgy Sami squirmed under Nicole's gaze, but Lucas told her not to worry that Nicole hated her because everyone in Salem did. Lucas played off Nicole's stares to her impending loss of Brady. Nicole sauntered over to the table and said that if Lucas did not hate her, he would when he heard what she did now. Nicole gave Sami a good once over and pegged her as a perfect match for Stan. Lucas took Nicole aside but she continued to push and asked Sami how she got to be in the war zone. Not buying the hostage story, Nicole and Sami started to tussle but Lucas pried them apart. When Lucas commented that Nicole should let Brady be happy with Chloe if she were alive, Nicole stormed off commenting that Lucas deserved to end up with Sami.
After Lucas left, Nicole walked up behind Sami and asked, "Stan?" Foolishly, Sami turned around. With her suspicions confirmed, Nicole promised Sami that she couldn't wait to tell everybody that she was Stan.

At the loft, a hugging Belle and Philip were interrupted by a fuming Kate who screamed at Belle for betraying her wounded husband and that she couldn't believe Belle turned out worse than Sami.

Outside the loft, John tried to calm down Kate who apologized for her behavior. Kate agreed with John that Belle was also having a hard time but that she lost control when she saw them hugging.

John said no, but that a part of Belle still loved Philip.
Off in the corner of the loft, Shawn returned with Belle's last suitcase and offered to accompany her to Germany.
