Max and Stephanie are relieved that he escaped arrest although he was working in another dock then where the police found cocaine aboard a DiMera ship. John and Philip both protest against hostile interrogations, suggesting either of them had the drugs planted. John's arrogance shocks everyone when he uses violence on Roman while resisting house-arrest. Moments after kissing up, Lucas and Sami relapse in a blame duel, after which he walks out, bitterly claiming she can't be forgiven ever for falling in love with his hated rival. Elvis is disappointed that Nicole still focuses on her dog and puzzled that Philip didn't seem surprised.
