Summary: Sami, Austin, Lucas & Carrie spend an evening together…Hope misses Bo as Billie urges him to fight for Hope…Bo and Billie realize that Chelsea is in trouble.

At Sami’s Place…Sami, Austin, Carrie and Lucas celebrate their engagement. Carrie and Lucas are going out for a late dinner as Sami suggests to Austin that they go out as well. Austin thinks it’s a great idea and suggests they all go out together. He remembers that KISS FM has a “party on the pier” that night and thinks they should all go. Carrie is all for it, so she and Lucas go to change clothes as Austin will call the pub for take out. After they leave, Sami is upset and doesn’t think it is a good idea. But he says that they need to accept Carrie & Lucas’s engagement and learn to get along with them…the sooner the better. Sami asks him if he really meant what he said in front of Kate earlier and he says yes, he would like to try again with her. Carrie and Lucas talk in the hall about hanging out with Sami and Austin and agree it’s a good thing. As they kiss, Sami walks out and sees them and stares. Later, they are all at the pier as Carrie comments on the song playing. Austin asks her to dance, much to Sami’s dismay. While they are dancing, Sami rails at Lucas for going along with Austin’s plan, letting Carrie and Austin spend time together. He says he is okay with them being friends and jokes about how he and Sami will soon be in-laws. He thinks that maybe it’s time to bury the hatchet and get along. He asks Sami to dance as well. As they dance, Carrie tells Austin how fun this is and she is glad that they can remain friends. He says he just wants her to be happy. As Sami and Lucas dance, he talks about how happy he is and how they almost ended up together. He apologizes for hurting her for not trusting her. He says honestly, he just wants Sami to be as happy as he is and hopes that Austin truly forgives her and they have a second chance. Austin asks Carrie if she really wants to see him and Sami together and she says she just wants to see both of them happy. Austin says they will just take it slow and see what happens. Sami is surprised at what Lucas said, but he remembers that THEY were happy once as he has a flashback of them dancing on the pier once. In the flashback, he tells her that he loves her…always has and always will. Austin and Carrie return as Austin cuts in and they all change partners. Carrie and Lucas tell each other that they both had good talks with Austin and Sami. Carrie and Lucas kiss as he looks over and sees Sami staring at them. They turn around while dancing and then it’s time for Carrie and Austin to stare at each other. (Honestly, I don’t know how much more of this I can stand!)

At the Brady House…Billie tries to call Chelsea, but only gets her voice mail and begins to worry about her. In the other room, Bo is fretting over losing Hope. He picks up the family photo and says he can’t lose her. Billie comes in, urging to fight for Hope. He puts the picture back as Billie is telling him if he loves Hope, fight for her. He says there is nothing he can do and she tells him they need to talk. Bo says she won’t talk to him…he can’t push her, she needs time. Billie says no, Hope only needs him to continue to tell her that he loves her. She said if Hope had really read his email, she wouldn’t have asked him for the divorce. She continues to urge him to call Hope and talk…there is too much at stake, family, marriage, 20 years. She says they have been through so much together and have fought before, but always find their way back to each other. Bo says he isn’t giving up, he IS going to fight for Hope. She tells Bo she knows that Hope still loves him, she always has and always will. Bo talks about when they got married and the vows they made and he can’t imagine his life without her. Billie assures him that he will get her back. Billie’s phone rings and it is Chelsea calling. But she passes out before she can say anything. (see below). Bo tells her to hit “return call”.

On the Island…after the kiss, Hope just stares at Patrick and he apologizes for taking advantage of her. She says no, Bo made his choice, now she is going to make hers…the marriage is over. Patrick is basically giving Hope the same speech that Billie is giving Bo. She talks about how Bo lied about Chelsea hitting Zack. Patrick reminds her that Bo is grieving over Zack as well and she says he sure has a strange way of showing it…he chooses Billie and Chelsea over her and his family time and time again. She says this is what Bo wants. She says she asked for the divorce, but she was angry and wanted him to fight for her…but he didn’t…now it’s over. She says that too many things have happened, things that can’t be taken back or undone. Patrick asks her not to make a decision until she is back in Salem and talks with Bo. But she says she isn’t going back…there is nothing for her there now. He accuses her of running away, but she says no, she just needs time for herself. He asks her where she will go and she talks about how much she loves the ocean. She remembers her and Bo and Shawn sailing around the world and how much she loved it. Patrick has a surprise for her and they leave. He takes her to a buddy’s boat and they go for a sail. She talks about how much she loves the sea and has a (flashback/fantasy) of her and Bo on the boat. She snaps out of it and says “I love you Brady”.

Out on the street…The workers are closing up the manhole as we see Chelsea lying down there, out cold. One of the guys thinks they should go down and check it out first to make sure no one is down there, but the other is ready to get off work so he can go have a beer. Cheslea comes to and weakly calls for help. One of the guys heard something but the other says it is probably just a cat. This is where Chelsea calls Billie but passes out. Billie calls her back and the one guy hears her cell phone ringing and decides to go down and check it out. He finds her down there and thinks she is dead. He tosses her phone up and the other guy calls 911 and report it and the other guy sticks her phone in his pocket. At home, Bo gets a call from the station about someone falling in a manhole and he takes off, followed by Billie. They arrive on the scene and get an update on the situation. Bo goes down to check it out as Billie again tries to call Chelsea. She hears the phone ringing in his pocket and realizes that it is Chelsea’s phone. Down below, Bo gets over to her and says “Chelsea…Oh My God!”…as the previews show…

Mimi (to Belle): Shawn has no idea what a great father he can be…I mean, he already is with Claire. (Belle): What?...

Lucas (to Carrie): What is it, why are you upset? (as she looks at Austin)…

Patrick (to Hope): Do you still love Bo?...(Hope): Yes…

Billie (to Bo): I don’t want her to be by herself…(Bo): We’ll figure out a way to get her out of there…

And the credits roll…
