After EJ warns Sami that Tony didn't accept the deal, Bo takes EJ down to the police station for questioning. Marlena, Hope and Sami discuss the long-standing feud between the families, wondering where and why it began. This reminds Sami of the letter she and Lucas discovered at the DiMera estate in New Orleans. She retrieves the letter and Hope, who speaks some Italian, is able to tell Sami and Marlena that the letter was written by Santo DiMera on his death bed to his son, Stefano. At the police station, EJ is stunned when John walks through the door and tells him he remembers what happened at the boathouse. EJ warns that Sami's life will be in danger if he's locked up and not around to help her. He explains that Tony intends to take Sami's baby from her and kill her -- but EJ is trying to get to his father and persuade him to stop Tony. Shawn returns from Willow's to discover that Philip wants him and Belle to move into the Kiriakis mansion. Philip feels it will facilitate the search for Claire because the three of them can work on the case twenty-four/seven. Shawn balks at the idea and tells Philip he doesn't want to be in debt to him. Belle tries to persuade Shawn that he can put his faith in Philip by revealing that Philip talked to Willow on Shawn's behalf.
