Jennifer tells Kristen and Billie that she would not take Jack back and that she has every intention of signing the divorce papers. They suggest that she think about it some more. Kristen leaves to meet Tony and Billie tries to convince Jen that Jack is being impulsive and probably regrets sending the papers. Jen is not so sure.
Kristen tells Tony about Jennifer receiving divorce papers and Peter overhears this. Kristen tells Tony that she believes that marriage is for life and wants them to stay married for life. They decide to get married on Valentines day. They then talk to Stefano about Johns past. Stefano assures them that he does not know anything about Johns past and if he did he would tell them. Kristen believed Stefano.
Bo discovered that Lucas was given a speeding ticket on the night that Curtis was murdered near the scene of the crime and about the time that Curtis was killed. Lucas told Bo he had gone to see Carrie but had changed his mind. Bo suspects that Lucas is hiding something. After Bo leaves, Lucas burns a pair of gloves in the fireplace.
At the Brady pub, Bo tells Billie that he may have a lead which could produce another suspect.
At the hospital Sami tells Jamie about Stefano reading her palm. Jamie is sceptical and warns Sami to stay away from him. Later Sami asks John to convince Marlena not to tell Roman the truth as it would destroy him. John agrees to do this.
Peter takes Jennifer dinner, explaining that he heard about the divorce papers. Jen says she is in no mood for company and Peter tells her he had only planned on delivering the dinner, not staying. Jen was touched by his thoughtfulness. Peter returned to the hospital where he stole the vial of blood containing Belles blood sample.

Victor questions Lucas as to why Bo had called. Lucas told Vic that Bo had found out about the speeding ticket. Victor asked if there was anything else that could connect Lucas with Curtis. Lucas assured Victor there was nothing. A lawyer, working for Victor to help Vivian, told Vic that Vivian had taken a turn for the worst.
Ivan tried to get Vivian to talk but she could not respond. When Victor arrived, Viv believed that Vic would not believe the catatonic story but he did believe Ann Goldberg.
Lexie sat her entrance exam into medical school and was wished luck by Jonah, Austin and Carrie. Jonah gave Lexie a watch that belonged to his grandfather for encouragement. Afterward, Lexie told Jonah she believed she had done well but was not sure if her mark would be high enough. Tom Horton returned to work at the hospital and told Alice and Jen that he was setting up a mental health study, explaining he was motivated by Lauras visit. When he heard of Jonahs inability to find a job he offered him a position as a lab technician in the mental health study. Jonah happily accepted.
Austin and Carrie had lunch together at the Brady pub and shared a kiss afterward.
Peter visited Jen and she asked him to stay for lunch. Peter told Abby that he liked Jennifer and that he hoped he could visit more often. Jen received a phone call from Mrs Patterson who told Jen she had found the receipt for the wedding ring she was trying to trace.

Jen tells Peter that she is trying to find a friends mother and was tracking the wedding ring but the receipt had no name. She feared she was at a dead end. Peter flew Jen to Chicago where they went to City Hall to check the marriage records. The clerk promised to send the information. Jen was impressed with the way Peter seemed willing to drop everything to help her. Jen mentioned she had not yet mailed the divorce papers. Peter suggested it may be that she was not sure she wanted to end her marriage. He offered to fly her back to Salem but she declined saying she wanted to visit her mother.
John offered Marlena the baptism gown that Brady wore for Belle. Marlena accepted the gown. John pleaded with Marlena not to tell Roman the truth about their affair. He suggested that he and Roman needed to work together to beat Stefano and that would not happen if Roman knew the truth. He also told Marlena that Sami had begged him not to let Roman know.
Roman taped Stefano talking so that Wendy might be able to recognise the voice as the one she heard in the alley. After doing this he went to tell John and was surprised to see Marlena there and questioned her.
Carrie and Austin were babysitting Belle and spoke about the future and the possibility of having children together. Austin was pleasantly surprised to find out that Carrie had thought about it as well.
Jamie confronted Sami asking what she had done with the missing blood sample. Sami denied any knowledge of it and Jamie explained she had thought Sami had stolen it. The girls concluded it must have been a fortunate accident.

John and Marlena told Roman she was there to get the baptism gown from John. Roman accepted this and told John of the tape of Stefanos voice. John had a flashback of a woman calling him Johnny. He confronted Stefano about this asking who the woman was. Stefano told John nothing claiming he did not know of any such woman.
Bo had a policeman bring Billie to the police station. She was worried until Bo explained it was so they could be together since they could not be seen in public.
Roman and Bo had Wendy listen to the tape but she could not identify the voice. She claimed that it may or may not be the voice, she just could not say. Bo was disappointed that Wendy could not say for sure.
Billie asked Marlena about hypnosis and whether it was possible to keep something hidden. She confided in Marlena the truth about her incestuous past but did not let on that her father was Curtis. Billie told Marlena she could not go through the hypnosis in case her past came out and Bo would find out. She explained that she did not want to hurt Bo by revealing that part of her past.
Marlena told John that she was touched by a patient who would risk going to jail to prevent hurting the man she loved. She told him that this had convinced her never to tell Roman the truth.
Jennifer mailed the divorce papers and visited Laura at Pinehaven. She told her mother of the divorce. Laura wanted to console Jen but was unable to communicate.
Peter returned to Salem where Stefano demanded the results of the blood tests. Peter made some phone calls and told Stefano the results would arrive first thing in the morning.
