Billie can't make love to Bo because of the memories of Curtis. She feels she's remembering more of the night of the murder that's important to the case. She knows that Lucas's confession isn't for real. She says she can't let it go till she knows what it is. Bo says he still has questions about the night of the murder, like why she went to a drug dealer for heroin, but that he trusts what she's told him and is willing to let it go, so why can't she? She says she can't stay the night, she doesn't feel good and better go home.
Roman takes Marlena home from the party. He comes in and tells her he won't cite adultery as the reason for the divorce because of the publicity, that he'll cite irreconcilable differences. He leaves then comes back with her purse. She's in her nightie and rushes off as Belle is crying. Roman comes in. Marlena dumps Belle in his arms while she goes off to get a bottle. She says Roman can still be a part of Belle's life just like she has been a part of Carrie's life. The 'phone goes and John leaves a message saying he'll be right over. So Roman leaves saying he's an intruder, it's John who has the right to be at Marlena's in the middle of the night, not him. When John arrives Marlena's in tears. She tells him what happened and he feels bad. He says he came over to talk about a lead on Stefano but they can do it another time. He leaves.
Jen tells Bill about the court case and Laura telling everyone about Kate. Bill can't believe it's THE Kate. Bill realises all the details about Kate that Laura must know, which he never realised she knew. He and Jen talk about Jack and Bill tells her not to close her heart against love.
At Kate's place Laura confronts Kate with all the gory details - that Kate slept with Bill and had Lucas by him. Kate says Lucas doesn't know about Bill being his father and that she never wanted Laura to know. Laura tells Kate she'll make her pay. Kate says if she reveals the details of Bill's past it'll hurt Jen so Laura agrees to keep quiet. But she says she'll see Kate pay when Lucas goes to jail for life, and she'll make sure Bill pays too. Laura goes home and makes a snide comment about how Bill always does what he wants. Bill says we need to talk, Laura says not tonight I'm tired. She goes to bed but not before he kisses her goodnight and she looks MOST uncomfortable.
Vivian is annoyed that Laura isn't going to spill Kate's secrets. Bill wants to pick up where they left off - Laura asks "Back to what I had or back to what you had?" She confronts him about Kate, that while she was in a fragile emotional state, needing him, he was off having an affair. He apologises (hmmm, not sure how far that's going to get him). She yells at him for losing 18 years and for the fact that the doctors had said she was recovering and that if he'd come to visit her he'd have worked out she was being drugged. He asks for a chance to make her happy in the future. She says they must put their differences aside for the sake of the family and that she doesn't want him to have anything to do with Kate or Lucas. He says fine, he has no interest in Kate but what does Lucas matter? Laura says "Because he's your son".
Billie is still sure Lucas didn't kill Curtis. Bo goes to see him but he won't retract, and Kate can't make him either. On the stand he swears to having killed Curtis. The judge starts to sentence him when Billie begins to remember what happened that night. She goes on the stand. She tells how she was drugged by Curtis and when she came to he was arguing with Kate about something she was supposed to take care of. Then Kate left and Curtis was still alive and was saying he'd kill Kate if he didn't get what he wanted from her. Then Lucas was there and looking for Curtis saying he'd making him pay but Curtis was hiding so Lucas left saying he'd come back the next day with the cops. Then Curtis came out and was saying how he'd make Lucas pay. Then she blacked out and came to in the alley and saw Kate all bruised and pulling a gun out of her bag and was going toward the basement door. Then Kate saw something and screamed, and Billie saw Curtis lying on the ground dead.
Everyone goes ooh ahh and Lucas says oh my goodness Moooom, you didn't kill him - I confessed because I thought you did. Victor wonders what Kate and Curtis were arguing about. The judge dismisses the charges against Lucas and the Kiriakis family leave happy. Vivian is not so happy.
Bo kind of wishes Billie hadn't said what she did because it lets Kate and Lucas off the hook and Billie can be tried again. The D.A.'s office decide to put her on trial again - WILL THIS EVER END??????
Lucas tells Kate that he promised himself that once he was free he'd find his father. Kate says she promised she'd never tell and he's done fine without him for 18 years. She begs him to leave it alone. He says o.k. but we know Lucas better than that. Victor and Kate toast to their future and their future child.
Ivan can't get Billie's testimony out of his head and they wonder what Kate reacted at during Billie's testimony. ( I think it was the part about Curtis threatening to tell about Bill).
Bo and Austin are with Billie and Bo admits that he now has noother suspects in the murder case.
Bo brings Marlena over to Billie's to convince her to do hypnosis to remember the rest of the night Curtis died but she says NO WAY. She doesn't want all the rest of her secrets coming out too. Bo's angry she'd throw away their life together like this and goes out to get some air.
At the pub everyone's getting ready for St. Patrick's Day. Lexie starts to tell Abe that she didn't go before the police board because she wants to do medicine but Shawn calls him over. She does tell Jonah who is thrilled. She doesn't want to disappoint Abe, saying he'll be devastated to hear the news (as any supportive and loving spouse would be). He comes back and goes on about what a great cop she is, she starts to tell him again and whoops, the phone rang for him. It's the chief asking why Lexie didn't turn up today. Oooh is he mad! He's annoyed she kept him in the dark and that the reason for all the problems they had was because of secrets (good point). He goes out to get some air. (Between him and Bo there'll be none left for everyone else).
Alan says Sami will have to get a fake I.D. so he can take her to frat parties. Carrie sees them together in the park and goes bananas because Roman has forbidden them to see each other. Alan says they're only talking and Sami runs off to see Jamie. Alan says to Carrie they should talk about the situation with Sami and they go off to have hot chocolate together. Jamie reluctantly says she'll help her get a fake I.D. Alan asks how serious things are between Carrie and Austin. She tells him how they're going to go back to the mountains to face her fears. She has a flash of memory of the night of the attack, but Austin turns up. Alan goes but keeps watching her and Austin.
Multi-skilled lawyer Mickey organises Roman and Marlena's divorce in his spare time from the murder trial. Roman's angry Marlena hasn't organised a lawyer yet and goes to confront her. She starts crying and says she doesn't want the divorce. He calms down a bit (she should've tried the tears sooner). He says he's sorry he made her cry, but they've got to resolve this once and for all. She calls an attorney. He leaves with many sorrowful looks.
Billie goes to Bo and he's sad he couldn't save her. They hug and look at the stars. He says how in the Southern hemisphere they have different stars (and are 4 years behind in Days of our Lives). She says she can't stand the thought of a future without him and decides to take a chance and have hypnosis.
Laura begs Bill not to reveal that he's Lucas's father because Jen is so happy to have her family back together. He says he won't but he tells Jen he's worried Laura still isn't 100% well. She gets mad at him saying Laura's fine.
Victor is going off on business and Kate's worried he's going off her. Vivian goes through her office to find incriminating evidence against Kate but Kate interrupts her and they have a bitchy conversation about destroying each other.
Lucas wants to know who his father is but Kate tells him to leave it alone. He goes off to look through her files (of course her assistant just lets him go through them all) and finds a letter with the address of Copper Lantern Drive on it (Jen's address). He speeds off to her place where she, Laura and Bill are. He leaves a pen in the file room so the assistant brings it back, telling Kate what happened.
Billie goes under hypnosis on the stand and reveals she had known Curtis for a long time. She won't say any more as she gets too upset so Marlena un-hypnotises her. Pat Hamilton badgers Billie about how she knew Curtis and Billie snaps and says Curtis was her father.
The DNA of the saliva on the envelope John got sent matches that of Stefano but Roman won't help John any further as he won't help him bust up another marriage. Kristen is reminiscing about her and John when she finds the old baseball tops he bought for the team. He goes over to bug the 'phone after Kristen has gone out but she comes back and chucks him out but not before they've kissed and she's slapped him in the face.
Lucas asks Bill about the house and who lived in it and tells him he's looking for his dad. Bill doesn't tell Lucas he's his dad. Kate arrives and hauls Lucas off and Laura warns them not to tell him or she'll tell everyone what they did to her.
On the stand Billie gives in and reveals the whole story - that Curtis was her father, that he molested her and that she was in porno movies to keep her drug habit going, drugs being the only escape from pain. Pat Hamilton sees the opportunity to pin a motive on her. Marlena tries to contact Kate, having realised the possible connection between Kate, Billie and Austin but Kate's off running after Lucas.
Pat Hamilton tries to get Billie to remember what happened on the night of the murder. She remembers voices arguing and someone saying Curtis would pay and deserved to die. She remembers someone saying "Checkmate" and a gun going off but she can't remember anyone else being there so she says "It must have been me - I must have murdered him".
