Kristen is chagrined that Marlena is the godmother, and Marlena is disturbed when Kristen tells John she wants to name the baby John, Jr. - an obvious ploy to cement John's affections. Susan, who sneaked back into the hospital, tries to interrupt the baptism, but is hurried away by a nurse. After the baptism, John and Kristen learn that Dr. Bailey has been delayed in Boston and the surgery is being postponed. Marlena takes John to the nurses' station for "a surprise"; Kristen and Vivian fret that she is going to tell John the truth. The surprise turns out to be Belle and Brady, whom Caroline brought to visit. As they play with the children, John and Kristen learn that the baby needs a blood donation for surgery. Kristen is terrified that if she has to give blood, it will be discovered she is not the baby's parent. But when John learns that Kristen's pregnancy records show anemia, he forbids her to give blood, since his blood type happens to be compatible with the baby's. Kristen is furious that Susan never told her she was anemic. As John is giving blood, Susan runs into Caroline, Belle, and Brady in the waiting room. Talking to Brady, she learns that he is John's son. When she overhears Caroline saying John Jr. needs blood, Susan rushes to donate.

She is determined to get him back and thinks all he needs is time. While Alice, Hope, and Maggie talk in the kitchen, Shawn-Douglas and friends play catch in the yard. The juvenile drug dealer, Bucky, comes into the yard and threatens Shawn-Douglas, thinking Shawn-D ratted on him. As Hope and Maggie bring sandwiches out to the yard, they see the boys fighting on the ground. They break it up and Bucky runs away, leaving drugs and paraphernalia behind, hoping to plant them on Shawn-D. Hope is furious, and calls Bo, but he tells her he can't do anything about it. Just then, Hope gets an invitation to a charity fundraiser at The Snake Pit. Unaware that this is King's ploy to figure out who Bo is attached to, Hope dresses up and goes, hoping to learn something about the anonymous drug kingpin.

Hope is hurt and angry by his attitude.
Austin sits with Sami in her hospital room, trying to comfort her after the depressing news about her paralysis. Carrie and Lucas enter with good news - Kate has found a top rehab facility in Hawaii and has offered to pay all of Sami's expenses. Sami is filled with hope, and everyone is happy for her, but Austin and Carrie are especially happy that Sami will be going away and they can start living their lives together. They pray the rehab will enable her to walk and recover her memory, so she can get on with her life and they can get married. But Sami, reading the brochures, has a surprise of her own - she discovers that the facility has apartments available for the families of the patients, and expects Austin and Will to come live with her in Hawaii. Austin pretends to be happy, but is privately in turmoil about the news.
At the Snake Pit, Bo is alarmed to see Hope talking to King. Determined to protect her from association with himself, Bo approaches her and demands to know why she is following him around. Hope says she was invited, but asks why Bo is treating her so cruelly. Bo calls her a loser and tells her to quit hassling him. Hope tells him to look her in the eye and tell her he doesn't love her any more. Bo avoids the question, but is so vicious to Hope that King and Hope are both convinced that she doesn't mean anything to him. Franco and Billie, who showed up in hopes of running into Bo and Hope there, hear the last part of the exchange. Franco runs out after Hope and comforts her on the pier. After crying on his shoulder, Hope tells Franco she is sure Bo is hiding something, and she decides to go talk to him in the club and find out what it is. Meanwhile, Billie is sorry that Hope was hurt, but encouraged that maybe Bo is rejecting Hope because he has feelings for her, Billie. Just as she is about to approach Bo, Billie overhears Max and King telling Bo to meet them up in his office. Then Billie overhears King and Max discussing Bo, and concludes that Bo might be in danger. Billie rushes up to King's office, trying to discover what they might be planning to do to Bo. Hearing voices approaching, Billie is forced to hide in the closet. She overhears King offering Bo a job on his payroll as a full-time spy. Bo refuses, and King threatens him. Bo starts to waver, and Billie desperately wishes that she could tell him not to do it. Just then, her hand slips on the coat rod, making a loud noise. King, Max, and Bo hear the noise and go to the closet. When they open the door, Bo is stunned and horrified to see Billie standing there.
At the hospital, John Jr. undergoes surgery. Caroline and Shawn, Abe, Lexie, Celeste, Vivian, Ivan, Laura Horton, and Marlena all gather to lend support to John and Kristen. Laura asks Marlena why she hasn't told John about Kristen yet. Marlena promises she will tell him as soon as they know the baby is okay. Celeste watches Kristen suspiciously, and tells Lexie that Kristen does not have the aura of a woman who has just given birth. Lexie dismisses it as psychic mumbo jumbo, but Vivian realizes Celeste is sharp, and begins to make plans to neutralize her. Caroline mentions that there is another woman whose baby is having surgery, but Lexie checks the schedule and tells her that John Jr. is the only one. Caroline, remembering her conversation with Susan, finds that very odd. Vivian figures out what happened and tells Kristen that they had better eliminate the threat of Susan quickly. Just then, Kristen sees Susan exiting the elevator and heading toward the nursery. Making an excuse, Kristen runs after her. She finds Susan crying in a stairwell. Susan tells Kristen that she overheard someone saying the baby was going to be all right. Although Kristen is relieved, she is furious with Susan for showing up at the hospital, and demands that she leave Salem immediately. Susan tells her she is never going to leave without her baby. Meanwhile, Dr. Bailey comes out of surgery and tells the family that John Jr. is fine and will recover fully. Everyone is filled with joy, especially Marlena, who no longer has a reason to delay telling John she loves him and that Kristen is evil. Marlena takes John aside into a private room. Vivian and Ivan, passing by, see them together and are filled with alarm. Marlena tells John that she has something very important to tell him that will change their lives forever.
