Summary: Philip makes an offer to Belle…Willow shares her news with Shawn…EJ pressures Sami to admit she is pregnant…Billie has been evicted from her new apartment already…Chelsea and Hope make progress ad mending their relationship…but Bo may destroy what progress they have made.

At Sami’s Apartment…she and Lucas are kissing, basking in the afterglow of sex. They talk about the wedding but Sami has fears of her wedding ‘curse’. Lucas tells her not to worry about it and even suggests that they not tempt fate and not invite Kate. As they are kissing, EJ is pounding on the door. (He had just been over at Billie’s and learned that she has been evicted…I don’t understand how, but she said that Victor had evicted her. She told EJ that she is worried about how Chelsea will handle the news. He had asked if Lucas could intervene on her behalf and she said that Lucas and Victor weren’t speaking. So he went over to talk to Lucas. ) Anyway, Lucas decides to go over and talk to Billie to see if there is anything he can do. EJ takes the opportunity to get Sami to admit to him that she is pregnant. First he wants to have a toast to her and Lucas but she informs him that there is no alcohol in the house. He goes to his place and brings back some champagne and pours 2 glasses. She refuses to drink as he asks why. She says her fiancé doesn’t drink, so she has lost the taste. She pours herself a glass of juice instead. He pulls out a cigar and she tells him she doesn’t allow smoking in her house and demands he leave. He suggests just one more toast…to her child, which leaves her startled. He says he meant WILL. She tries to get him to leave and he point blank asks her if she and Lucas are expecting a little bundle of joy. Meanwhile, across the hall, Lucas offers Billie money but she turns him down. She tells him instead, she has decided to take EJ up on his offer and go into business with him. Lucas argues with her, saying that would be dangerous and she would regret it. He offers to let her and Chelsea move in with him and Sami…besides, Sami could use help planning the wedding. Billie hugs him and congratulates him as he assures her he knows it will work out this time. Nick shows up looking for Chelsea. (Earlier, he had admitted the truth to Dr. Rebert and said he could fire him if he wanted to. But in fact, the doctor was okay with the open display of affection he got from Chelsea…even boosted his ego a bit and he was flattered). Nick explains to Billie and Lucas what he did…and that HE was Dr. Shane Patton. He says he did it all to impress her. Billie lectures him, saying that Chelsea has come so far and she fears what this will do to her. Billie calls Abby, but she hasn’t heard from Chelsea either. Billie and Nick decide to go look for her after Lucas leaves. Lucas goes back to his apartment and from the hallway, he hears Sami denying that she is pregnant to EJ. Lucas goes in asking just WHY EJ is still there. He asks him to leave and says next time he feels like dropping in…DON’T! After hea leaves, Sami is upset as Lucas tries to calm her down, saying it doesn’t matter if EJ knows. In the hallway, EJ says he will find out what he needs to know…one way or the other…he always does.

At the Brady House…Chelsea goes over, upset over what happened with Nick. She tells them all about it and how Dr. Patton doesn’t exist…Nick made it all up. She tells them about finding her “doctor” at the hospital and making a fool of herself. She says that maybe this is her punishment for all the bad things she has done. She boo-hoos about how dumb she was and even apologizes for things she did to them, including posting the picture of Billie and Bo on the internet. Bo gets a call from Roman to come down to the station and he leaves. Hope asks Chelsea to stay with her until Bo gets back and share some ice cream. Later they are enjoying their ice cream as Chelsea talks about how she doesn’t deserve it, but hopes that Hope can forgive her someday. Hope says perhaps she already has. Bo gets to the cop shop as Roman tells him that the DA interviews Lockhart (trying to get him to incriminate EJ) but it didn’t work. He hands him the file, telling him that he did mention someone else in the interview. Bo turns and reads a marked section where Patrick talked about how Chelsea helped him from time to time and Bo is furious over this. Meanwhile, Chelsea is in shock that Hope could forgive her and Hope asks Chelsea to forgive her as well. She talks about all the anger and loss she suffered, but never stopped to realize what Chelsea had gone through herself, losing the only parents she had ever known. She feels that she even made things worse for her. Hope promises from now on, she wants a fresh start with Chelsea. The baby (does it have a name yet?) wakes up and Hope rushes to her. Chelsea gushes over her and Hope asks if she would like to hold her and hands over Chelsea’s little sister. Chelsea promises that someday, she will make them proud of her. Later, they are talking again about what Nick did as Hope suggests that it was possibly a shy guy’s way of showing her how he feels and maybe she shouldn’t be so hard on him. Bo comes bursting in ranting at Chelsea for helping Patrick. She denies it but Bo says no, he is finished…no excuses…no more forgiveness…she has had her last chance…she is not his daughter anymore.

On the Ship…Philip demands that the captain take the baby as Shawn threatens to toss Phillip overboard. The captain tells them that he is going to check everything out first and will agree. He says if they don’t stop arguing, he is going to toss all of them in the brig. After he leaves, Philip asks to talk to Belle privately. Reluctantly, Shawn leaves, taking Willow with him. Belle doesn’t want to listen to him but he asks to hold Claire. She gives in and hands her over as he holds her and talks about how he missed and loves her. Belle says she never wanted all this fighting and he suggests that maybe he, Belle and Claire leave together. Outside Shawn asks Willow what kind of trick she has pulled on Philip as she tells him about living in the mansion. Shawn doesn’t believe her and asks her what is going on. So she tells him that she is pregnant and Philip is going to take care of her and the baby. Belle tells Philip he is crazy for even suggesting that but he says that deep down he still cares for her. He says he is the same inside he always was and that the still loves her. Shawn laughs at Willow, not believing her. He asks who the father is and she informs him that it is him. Philip puts Claire down for her nap as Belle asks him what he wants and he says he is looking out for Claire’s future. He reminds her that HE has sole custody and insinuates that if she doesn’t go with him she may never even see Claire again. She catches on and calls him sick and unbalanced. She says she isn’t talking about it anymore…he isn’t getting her OR Claire…so deal with it. Shawn accuses Willow of lying until he figures out that Philip is going to use the baby she is carrying as a bargaining chip….to get to Claire. The captain returns and brings them all back into the room and tells them that his decision is that he isn’t going to do anything…he is going to wait until they get to Australia and let the American Consulate deal with the situation. Until then they are all under house arrest and confined to this cabin. Philip objects and demands the cabin across the hall, so the captain concedes as he and Willow leave. Belle is a nervous wreck but Shawn tells her not to worry…somehow, he, her and Claire will get OFF this ship before it gets to Australia…as the previews show…

Bo (to Chelsea): I want you out of my house…don’t ever come back…(Chelsea): Dad, please…I swear I didn’t do… (Bo): Get OUT of my house…

Billie (to Nick): What are you saying Nick?...(Nick): I am saying that secrets have a way of coming out…

Max (to Abby): You aren’t the only one who had a crush…

Bo (to Hope): You are the reason I am willing to turn my back on Chelsea…(Hope): You haven’t listened to anything I have said…cause that is NOT what I want…

And the credits roll…
