Elvis feared the Fortins would kill him and Stefano to steal the blood diamonds back, but DiMera henchmen were lurking about just in case. Rafe brilliantly shortcuts the DiMera security system to search the mansion and passes himself for a cable man believably enough for Nicole. Stefano is furious and orders security upgraded. Brady scolds John's lack of paternal interest in him, which finally sparks some. Rafe arranged a safe-house Christmas surprise trough bumbling colleague Hilda, who trumps it.
