Billie awakes in jail. Bo has been told he may not see her as Pat Hamilton feels he's prejudicing the investigations. Billie is sure he doesn't want to see her anyway. In the courtroom prior to sentencing she asks the judge to believe that Bo, Austin and Carrie didn't know she'd murdered Curtis.
Meanwhile Carrie goes to see Marlena to see if she can help Billie. John planted a bug at Kristen's place when he was there yesterday and he overhears Peter call Stefano saying "Things are going on in the courthouse which affect us Stefano". He tape records it and takes it to Roman. Marlena also goes to see Roman and says that saying "Checkmate" isn't language Billie would use and comes up with some neat psychological explanation of how Billie believes she murdered Curtis so has taken on the persona of the murderer and thinks she said "Checkmate". And Bo also arrives to say it must have been Stefano who murdered Curtis because only he would say "Checkmate". John and Bo go off to find Fred Harris to check out the story but Peter gets to Fred first and he's gone by the time John and Bo get there.
Kate goes off to the infertility clinic and Marlena tries to reach her through the day to tell her what's gone down in the courtroom but she can't get hold of her.
Marlena tries a last ditch effort to ask Roman if they one day might get back together. He says everyone keeps going on about forgiveness but that's not what it's about for him. He says that one day he may be able to forgive her and even understand why she did what she did, but he'll never be able to trust her again. He walks out.
Marlena convinces Roman to join forces to help Lexie and Abe talk things out (they've each talked with them seperately). They get them to Roman's place and he talks to them about life with a cop and a doc as a married couple, while Marlena listens from outside the house (she can't come in because she's banned). Abe and Lexie reunite and go off happily but not before Roman tells them there's no chance for him and Marlena to ever get back together.
Kate and Victor go to a fertility specialist. She's told the tests show she can't conceive the usual way as her fallopian tubes have been scarred from Lucas's birth but that they can try IVF. They're happy about this. She goes off to talk to Mr Caldwell to find out whether she and Victor are legally married. Vivian is hanging around posing as a frenchwoman to try to eavesdrop. All she finds out is that the lawyer keeps tapes of each session so she plans to steal the one of Kate's session. Kate wasn't legally divorced as Curtis never sent the divorce papers in and that's what they were arguing about the night of the murder.
Victor meanwhile goes home and sees the newspaper and realises about Billie and Austen being her kids. When she comes home he tells her he thinks her kids are alive and he thinks he knows where they are.
Victor tells Kate about Billie and Austin. Kate refuses to believe they're her kids, Lucas refuses to believe they're her kids, Billie refuses to believe they're her kids, Austin isn't so sure they're her kids. Everyone else thinks they're her kids.
Jen and Peter make eyes at each other while she continues to look for information about Kate and Curtis's marriage.
Marlena says Bo still loves Billie, Mickey says Bo still loves Billie, Austin says Bo still loves Billie, Carrie says Bo still loves Billie. Based on this information Billie is convinced Bo doesn't love her anymore.
Carrie goes to Kate with the pin that Austin gave her which belonged to his mother. She leaves it with her, telling her only to go to Austin and Billie if she's prepared to be a mother to them because they have been hurt enough.
Jenn finds a document which proves Kate must be Austin's mother. She gives it to him and he goes to her place and she opens the door and he says "Mother".
Peter shows Stefano's will to Kristen and Tony. There are many properties but he keeps hidden the one where Stefano is hiding, called "Maison Blanche". He drops a photo of the house and Kristen finds it. Stefano sends John another piece of the puzzle. It is a picture of Maison Blanche and John recognises it. He and Marlena realises it's a trap to lure John there but he wants to find it anyway as Stefano has the answers to John's past. Peter finds the bug John planted in the house and removes it and when John plays the tape of what he's recorded that day he gets the Chopin piece.
Billie is in jail remembering Curtis abusing her. Marlena goes to see her and suggests her mother might not have intentionally abandoned them but Billie said she needed a mother then, not now.
Kate won't believe Austin until he remembers her singing "Mockingbird" to him. She checks his and Billie's birthdates and realises they are her kids. She and Austin hug and cry. He asks her to go and see Billie but she doesn't think it's such a good idea because Billie hates her. Austin tells her Billie needs her and the episode ends with Kate going to see Billie in jail.
John catches Abe up on where things are at with Stefano. Jenn asks Peter out on a date. Kristen decides to do up their house to look just like an old Southern house which was very famous but mysteriously disappeared through fire or the owner moving it. The house in the picture looks just like the picture she found of Maison Blanche. She tells Jenn but asks her not to tell Peter or Tony because it's going to be a surprise.
Billie tells Kate to get out and won't believe she's their mother. Austin convinces her it's true and she says she does actually have something to say to her mother and tells her "I hate your guts". Kate tells her the story of how she looked for them and thought they were dead. Billie tells her that Curtis raped her and tells her it's all her fault. Kate asks Austin to leave and then Billie tells details of the molestation and being fed drugs and dropping out of school because of the humiliation. She tells her "It's your fault - Mother".
Tony tells Kristen he's going to pay for Billie's legal expenses (don't you love how she thinks he's so generous because he BUYS everything for her). Jenn asks Kristen how things are with Tony and asks her if she's trying to convince herself she's over John.
Peter tells Fred Harris he's going to move him to Maison Blanche. He tells Fred if John comes looking to take care of him and give him a gun. John and Abe go to look at Stefano's will to see where all of his properties are so they can work out where he's hiding. John sees the warehouse where Fred's hiding listed in the will and goes down and finds him.and gets bopped over the head.
Jenn and Peter have dinner at her place. She tells him her parents will be home late and they start to kiss but then she's not sure but then she says yes to make love to her, and he does.
