Sami shows Celeste the empty gas can she found in her bed and begs her to use her connections to the DiMeras to reach out to EJ, convince him Sami made a mistake. Celeste reluctantly agrees, and later makes a mysterious phone call. Kate finds Lucas waiting for Sami at Chez Rouge and tells him she needs his help — with EJ missing, the business is falling apart. Lucas can't believe she would ask him for help after what happened at the hotel. When Sami arrives, Kate says she knows Sami was at the cabin and suspects Sami drugged Lucas so he'd be unconscious while she was away. A stricken Sami runs into the ladies' room, where she finds EJ in a stall, looking dead. Shawn and Belle get a call from Bo and Hope, and Hope tells Shawn she thinks Willow is telling the truth about him being the father of her baby. Hope says she'll look after Willow and the baby until Shawn gets home. Bo shows Billie the remnants of her security system, which were discovered in his house. Billie insists she doesn't know anything about it. Billie thinks Philip is the culprit since he was asking questions about how to set it up — and has since left the country. Bo fears Philip knows where Shawn and Belle are, and alerts his son to leave Tinda Lau at once. Belle wants to stay and fight, but Shawn doesn't think it's fair to Claire.
