Summary: Bo and Billie find Chelsea and Max, thanks to Frankie’s help...Frankie and Jack double-team Patrick, vowing to bring him down...Kate stalks Sami, but Sami gets the upper hand...or so she thinks...she falls into a trap set by Roman.

AT THE COP SHOP...Sami arrives to use Roman’s computer. As she sits down, Kate walks up, keeping an eye on her. She walks in and asks her what she is up to. Sami tells her she is planning her wedding and for her NOT to expect an invitation. In the hallway, Lucas wants to talk to Roman, formally asking him for Sami’s hand in marriage. Roman says that he must promise that he won’t break Sami’s heart again and goes on about how Lucas hurt her about not believing her before. Lucas promises that he will make Sami happy. Roman tells him if he swears, then he has his permission as well as his blessing for them to marry, thrilling Lucas, and they hug. Will walks up as Roman jokes about how much he has grown. Will tells them how he can’t wait for them to get married. Back in Roman’s office, Sami and Kate are going at it with Sami informing Kate that Roman gave her permission to use his computer...now what is SHE doing there? She also tells her that she KNOWS they are getting divorced. Kate says she knows that Sami is up to something, but Sami says if she did, she wouldn’t be playing this game of cat and mouse. Kate threatens to tell Roman and Lucas what she knows, but Sami says they won’t believe her and she cannot stop her and Lucas from getting married. Sami informs her that even Austin approves and is coming home for the wedding, shocking Kate. Kate says that Sami doesn’t deserve EITHER of her sons and she WILL stop this wedding...just as Roman and Lucas walk in. Kate rats on Sami for being on Roman’s computer, until he tells her that he gave Sami permission. Lucas stops Kate, telling her to just leave Sami alone as Roman backs up Sami as well. Kate tells Roman she wasn’t following Sami, that she came there to talk to him but he tells her that there is nothing to talk about...it’s over...there is no marriage...no future...there is nothing. As they all argue, Sami goes about her work on the computer, until Will walks up behind her and asks what’s all that stuff about Tony DiMera? Everyone whirls around as Sami covers and says that when Kate came in, she was leaving Roman a message about Tony and how frightened she is of him. Kate says that is because Tony is a time bomb just waiting to blow Sami up. Will asks Kate to just leave his mom alone. Lucas agrees and suggests that he, Sami and Will go out for lunch, so they all leave. After they leave, Kate tries to convince Roman that Sami is somehow in cahoots with Tony, but he doesn’t want to hear it. Kate insists that Sami has them all snowed. He tells her to leave, they are through and she storms out. Roman sits down at his computer and has a concerned look on his face, when one of his detectives comes in to get the details on Tony’s transfer to maximum security. Roman tells him that the info on his computer is bogus because he is sure that one of his operatives will try and hack into his computer. He tells him that it is all a set-up, the real info is on an encrypted disc. They will have Tony as well as nab whoever is trying to help him. In the hallway, a furious Kate says that Sami will NOT ruin Lucas’s life and storms off.

LUCAS, SAMI & WILL...are outside Alice’s and she sees a clown making balloon animals and recognizes him as Bart. She sends Lucas and Will to the car to get her cell phone and goes over to him. He hands her a balloon and asks if she has something for him. She tells him that she has the info he needs and informs him that Kate has been keeping an eye on her. She asks him if Tony told her anything. Bart says that he would never do that. Bart tells her that if the info she has is legit, she is off the hook, but if it isn’t, all bets are off. She says she has what he needs. Bart sees Lucas heading over and takes off. Sami tells Lucas that she was buying a balloon for Will...as it pops...making her jump.

AT THE DEVERAUX’S...Bo and Billie are there and find that Max is missing as well. Bo is worried sick they have left town. Frankie has an idea and tells them that he is Max’s business manager and can track them if he uses his credit cards. Everyone tries to calm Billie down, but she is past that. Jen is also concerned about how Hope is handling all this. Billie tells Jack how freaked out Chelsea was upon learning the news about her and Bo. Frankie returns and tells them that he has found them, Max used his credit card at the Highway Motel, a seedy joint (that someone notes rents rooms by the hour) so Bo and Billie take off there.

AT THE LOCKHART PLACE...Patrick is in the pool when Hope arrives looking for Bo (it’s morning and she hasn’t heard from him all night). Patrick assures her that they are still looking for Max and Chelsea. During this time, we see Bo call and leave Hope a message, apologizing for not calling. Hope is worried about what Chelsea may do as Patrick says she is only a kid. Hope comes back with "so was Lolita". Patrick defends Chelsea, afraid she will be the one who gets hurt. Patrick urges her to relax by taking a swim to relieve the stress and tells her to go inside and borrow one of Billie’s bathing suits. She reluctantly goes inside and a minute later returns. He asks where her suit is and she asks "who needs a swim suit?" and starts to undress before his eyes. Yes, Patrick is having a fantasy, then turns to splash water on his face. Hope returns in her swim suit (with her blouse over the top) just as Jack, Jen and Frankie arrive telling them that Frankie found Max and Chelsea and that Bo and Billie are on their way there now. Jen encourages Hope to join them, but she refuses, it’s Bo and Billie’s business, even though this is driving her nuts. Jen notes that she is handling it well and Hope points out that Jack is handling Frankie’s being around well too. Jack and Frankie rake Patrick over the coals, vowing to bring him down as Jen explains to Hope that she and Frankie are just friends. What they had was 20 years ago...she loves Jack and Jack only. She says that Frankie changed his plans because Caroline came home and he didn’t want to leave. But Hope thinks there is more to it. Hope is back to worrying about Bo and Billie...she has no doubts that Bo loves her, but she also knows that Billie still loves Bo. They talk about them finding their daughter and worry where it will all lead. Patrick tells Frankie and Jack they are wasting their time talking to him as they ask what he is hiding. Patrick says he could ask Frankie the same thing. Frankie gets a phone call and tells the person on the other end to give him everything he has on Patrick Lockhart. Hope tells Jen that Chelsea is a wild card and is afraid of what she will do to their family.

AT THE NO-TELL MOTEL...Max wakes Chelsea up and has a makeshift breakfast...coffee, crackers and some wild strawberries (yum). She tells him that she dreamed that Billie was her mother. He tells her it is true, upsetting her all over again. She begs him to help her run away where they will never find her. He tells her he can’t do that if Bo and Billie are really her parents. She starts kissing him (actually looks like she attacks him), saying this will drive them crazy. He stops her, telling her that there is plenty of time for that later and urges her to go take a shower. While she is in the shower, Bo and Billie arrive, demanding to know where she is. Bo takes one look at the bed and then attacks Max. Billie stops him as Max claims that they didn’t do anything...he slept on the floor. He tells them that Chelsea is confused and upset over the news. He tells Billie that he hates to tell her, but Chelsea wants nothing to do with her. Bo asks him to leave so they can talk to her privately so Max leaves. She comes out of the shower with a towel over her head, telling Max she got everything all hot and steamy for him and raises the towel to see Bo and Billie. She is furious and want nothing to do with them and rushes back into the bathroom. Bo looks at Billie and says "well, that went well". Freeze frame on Bo and a teary-eyed Billie as the previews show...

Lexie (while kissing Tek): I do want you...

Patrick (to Frankie): You just blew your cover Frankie. You are gonna lose your job...I hope it was worth it...

Hope: The more we know about Chelsea...I have a feeling...it’s not going to be for the better...

Chelsea (to Billie): You are so desperate...you are trying to use me to tear Bo and Hope apart...

and the credits roll...
