Summary: Nothing earth-shattering going on here...Brady and Chloe enjoy their wedding night...Bonnie urges Mimi go make a move on Shawn...Philip returns home...John and Marlena get to spend a little alone time...Sami and Lucas also get to spend a little alone time the night before their wedding.

Brady and Chloe arrive at the cottage to find it filled with the flowers he had arranged to have. She is impressed and touched and they kiss. Later, Chloe is in her negligee and Brady makes a toast to their and their future. He talks about the honeymoon (both are excited about going to Paris and then a Greek cruise). Chloe talks about how he transformed her and makes her feel so strong. She tells him she has a confession, she hasn’t been faithful to him and his love. He is confused and she explains that when she was in the accident and lied to him, feeling he would be better off thinking she was dead and that was terrible of her. She says she should have been honest from the beginning and hopes that he can forgive her. He says he can’t accept her apology...there is nothing to apologize for...they are together now and that is what is important. She can’t believe how understanding he is. Later we see them in bed making love. Afterward, he tells her that together, they are invincible. They talk about how lucky they are and begin kissing again.

Mimi tells Belle that she finally understands...that she is afraid that Shawn will fall in love with her. Shawn returns with Belle’s wrap and asks if she is okay...what is going on? He realizes that something is wrong, but they tell him it’s nothing, Belle is just tired. He offers to give her a ride home and Mimi tells them to go ahead. After they leave, Bonnie starts on Mimi for letting him get away. She cannot believe that she is her daughter. She talks about how beautiful she is and encourages her to "reel him in" and Mimi tells her to stop. Bonnie asks if she is in love with Shawn, and Mimi says that she likes him...alot. Bonnie pushes her to go for him then, flaunt what she’s got. Mimi says if it is meant to be, it will happen naturally...she refuses to throw herself at him.

Shawn and Belle arrive at the loft and he offers to make her some tea. Philip returns home and asks what the hell’s going on as Shawn explains that he brought her home. Lexie calls to check on Belle as Philip asks what is wrong and they explain to him about the cramps earlier. Philip thanks Shawn for looking out after her and apologizes for reacting the way he did. He walks around for them, showing off his new leg and says he feels great. He talks about how their lives are changing. After Shawn says his good-nights and leaves, Philip asks Belle if she has something to tell him. She tells him that Shawn was a good friend to her. She takes his hand and places it on her stomach to feel the baby kick as he bends down to talk to him/her. He assumes that she and Mimi are getting along better and then goes on to talk about Mimi and Shawn getting together and finding happiness. He is sure that Mimi will be back to normal again soon and she will change because of Shawn. They hug as she looks over his shoulder at Shawn’s picture.

Shawn goes home to find Mimi in a towel, just out of the shower. He tells her about Philip being home and gives her an update on him. She talks about Philip and Belle as she remembers her mom’s words. She tells him that she is going to bed and heads to her room. Shawn is also remembering Bonnie’s words and tells her to come back...he has a proposition for her. He tells her that Jurassic Park 3 is on TV and asks if she would like to watch it with him. She says sure and he goes to make popcorn.

At the Penthouse...Marlena, John and Alex return home to a hot house...the AC is not working. John suggests she go and take a cool shower and change. While she is gone, he and Alex argue about his interference. John is determined that Marlena will remember. She returns as John puts on some music. Alex suggests she go to bed, but she goes out on the terrace where it is cooler. John tells Alex to leave, but he refuses. John joins her on the terrace and has a gift for her...a topaz necklace. He puts it on her and tells her she is beautiful. She says he makes her feel so protected and cared for. He asks her to dance and she has flashbacks of dancing with him before. She asks him if it was at a wedding. He suggests that she just stop trying so hard...it will come to her. As they dance, Alex keeps an eye on them. She tells John that she is tired and really should go to bed, tomorrow will be a big day. He tells her that they pick back up tomorrow. She heads to bed as Alex announced he is turning in as well. John warns him to stay in his room and shows him a remote for his security system and tells him that if Marlena’s door opens, he will know about it. He tells Alex that he and Marlena feel that they are close to a breakthrough. Later, John is ready for bed testing the remote. We then see Alex outside the building making his way along the ledge to Marlena’s room. He jumps down on the terrace and opens the door quietly and sneaks toward her bed.

Lucas and Sami return to her place, Sami so excited about her wedding, talking about all she has to do. Lucas suggests some "alone time" for them but she thinks it could mean bad luck. He laughs at her, saying let’s live dangerously. They kiss and she tells him that he can’t spend the night. He promises to leave at 11:59, saying they have an hour and 29 minutes, lol. She doesn’t want to tempt fate, but he promises her that he loves her so much and won’t let anything go wrong this time. Later, they are lying on the sofa watching TV and the news talks about Tony being captured and how his car exploded, destroying tons of evidence. Lucas is talking about how Stan may never be caught but Sami wants him to forget about that guy and focus on them. Lucas promises to let it go...for now. Sami tells him that she feels the Sami Brady wedding curse has been lifted, no one can stop them now. They are kissing and she realizes it is almost midnight and rushes him out the door. He says this is the last time he will say he loves "Sami Brady"...after tomorrow, it will be "Sami Roberts". After he leaves, she is thrilled and says that Tony has NOTHING on her...she is marrying the man of her dreams. As she dances around the apartment, we see a box of trash with pictures of her during her transformation to Stan. Sami says all her dreams are going to come true as we see a picture of Sami on the left, Stan on the right of the screen...and the previews show...

Hope (to Bo): She needs to behave appropriately...that’s what she needs, Bo (Bo): Are you implying that my daughter is a tramp?...

Billie (to Kate): I am not going to my brother’s wedding...

Marlena (to John): I don’t know what you said or did to him, but I will do anything to keep Alex with me...

Sami (to Roman): She is the greatest love of your life...don’t give up on that...fight for her...

and the credits roll...
