On the Island…
Shawn plays with Claire’s bear (that Gabby gave her) as Belle comes in. Shawn wishes he could do more for them but Belle says that they have all they need and that Claire is lucky. Belle talks about a consignment shop Gabby told her of and wants to go and get Claire some new clothes. Shawn goes downstairs to help Duck and explains to Gabby that Belle went shopping. There is a patron in the bar (Charlie) who is drunk and wants to dance with Gabby. Shawn tries to get him to leave her alone, but she knows how to handle him and gets him to go sit down, telling Shawn it’s ok. When she needs rescuing, she will let him know. Later, Claire and Belle are back as Claire models her clothes. Gabby goes to get her camera to take some pictures. Shawn tells Belle to stay clear of Charlie. Gabby and Belle are in their room now as she takes pictures of Belle and Claire. She asks if everything is okay between her and Shawn now. Then Belle asks if anything was going on between Gabby and Shawn last night when she came down. Belle says she is not jealous if it was, but Gabby swears she isn’t trying to take Shawn away. She isn’t really interested in a guy…unless Superman swoops down, then she will think about it. Gabby tells Belle she can tell that Shawn wants Belle. Back downstairs, they show Shawn the pictures as Charlie comes over again. Gabby takes him back to his seat and then offers to take a picture of Shawn, Belle and Claire. Belle says she wishes she would have had a picture to send with the letter, so everyone would know they are okay. Gabby says they can send another, she will make sure it gets to the states. Later, Shawn is tending bar as Charlie gets in his face and belches. He offers to take the “cute little blonde” but Shawn tells him to shut up, that is his wife. Charlie says that’s not what he hears…he is only the guy that knocked her up. Shawn gets angry and punches him and they end up in a brawl. Gabby rushes over yelling at Shawn to stop.

At Willow’s Place…
She comes home to find Hope in her apartment…and she has found the stash of jewelry. Willow claims that it was her aunt’s but Hope goes through it and is able to identify every piece as her own. She says she found everything but the matches Willow used to torch their house. Then Willow changes her tune and says she doesn’t know how it got there, she has never seen it before. She says that Chelsea was there earlier and she must have planted it there. After all, WHY would SHE want to hurt Bo and Hope. Hope says that is what she intends to find out. With that, Willow takes off running with Hope chasing after her.

At Billie’s…
Chelsea is afraid Bo is coming to take her to jail. He arrives with 2 cops to search Chelsea’s room. Billie thinks that Bo is taking this all too personal and he says it IS personal. Chelsea tells him he can blame her, after all she IS his favorite target, but this time he is wrong. They pack up her things so she offers her lipstick and her gum, if they want that too. Bo says he is sorry, but he is just following the evidence. He shows them the hairbrush they found and Chelsea lies, saying it isn’t hers. Hope calls Bo and tells her she found the jewelry at Willows but then she ran off. Bo tells her he is sending a unit over and putting out an APB for her. He apologizes to Chelsea but says he was only doing his job. He says he is just glad he was wrong this time. The cops put Chelsea’s things back as Bo continues to apologize. He and Chelsea hug as Hope comes in. Chelsea hugs Hope as well and thanks her for her help. But then Hope tells them that Willow is claiming that Chelsea planted the jewelry there, which she denies. Bo holds up the brush and says that Willow can’t lie about DNA proof. Billie thanks Hope for helping as Bo says this time there will be no running for Willow. After they leave, Billie tells Chelsea she is proud of her. Billie goes to freshen up as Chelsea calls someone, telling them she needs their help. Later, Willow returns home, only to be met by the cops in the hallway. She tells them they are making a mistake, they have the wrong person, but they cuff her and read her rights.

At Sami’s…
There is a replay of Celeste and Sami in the hallway as she opens the door with EJ standing there (overhearing Celeste talking about killing him). Kate pops her head out and tells Sami that it’s a surprise bridal shower as she and Celeste go inside. EJ tells Celeste he doesn’t know who looked more surprised…Sami or her and notices that Sami’s hands are shaking. Philip offers Sami a gift and asks her if it is okay he is there. EJ butts in but Sami excuses herself to talk to Philip. Sami can’t believe how nice Kate is being to her (as Kate offers hors d’ouevres, assuring Sami they are safe…if she had wanted to kill her, she would have done it long ago). Sami tells Kate that EJ is leaving, but he refuses to go. She tries to get him to leave, but he wants to talk to her so they go to the bedroom. He demands to know how she and that ‘3rd rate gypsy’ are planning to kill him as Sami denies it. In the other room, Kate brings over the food tray and asks Celeste “Eye of newt?...tail of frog?” and tells her that trying to kill someone can work up an appetite. Celeste tells Kate that she misunderstood what was going on…she was looking into schools for Theo and was wanting advice from Sami. Lucas arrives asking if he missed anything and Kate says no, the fun is just beginning. Philip wants to talk to Lucas alone so they go to the hallway. Philip offers an apology, but Lucas wants no part of it. Celeste goes to leave as Kate continues to needle her, calling her and Sami “Salem’s latest odd couple” and wants to know what they are up to. With that Celeste leaves, but in the hallway, she furiously sends an instant message to Sami, praying she gets it. In the bedroom, Sami swears to EJ that she isn’t up to anything. He taunts her and she says she is sick of him and says she is going to call her dad and tell him everything. So EJ offers to make that call for her and dials his phone and hands it to her. She asks for Roman, but he is busy and can’t be disturbed. So then, EJ offers to call Bo, saying they should just “keep it all in the family”. Sami takes the phone but tells Bo she just wanted to thank him and Hope for the gift. After she hangs up, EJ laughs at her (referring to himself as the “cat” and her as the “mouse”, saying the cat won this round). He demands to know what she and Celeste are up to, but she swears nothing. She knocks over her purse and happens to see the message from Celeste. In the other room, Kate is on the phone with Marlena (who is with John at the hospital…good to see they are mentioned). Lucas and Philip return to the party and don’t even want to talk . EJ warns Sami to stay away from Celeste. Sami, who has read the message, tells EJ that Celeste and she were only talking about schools for Theo, and that when Celeste said something about killing someone, she was just kidding, talking about the principal of the school. She says that EJ always misunderstands everything. In the other room, Kate urges Lucas and Philip to get along as they both say they will try. Lucas asks where Sami is as Kate delights in telling him she is in the bedroom with EJ. Lucas walks in asking what is going on…just as Sami finishes up a sentence with the baby is none of EJ’s business. EJ leaves as Sami tells Lucas she wasn’t feeling well and EJ just followed her in there. She assures Lucas she is fine now. EJ and Kate talk as Kate tells him that Celeste claimed that she was there to talk to Sami about schools. EJ says that is what Sami said as well. He excuses himself to leave as Philip gets a call with a lead on Claire and tells Kate he has to go. Sami assures Lucas that she is not afraid of EJ, he is just a pest…she loves Lucas and he is all she needs. Kate tries to keep Philip from leaving saying if he is determined to go, then she is going with him. Sami and Lucas rejoin the party as Lucas just stares at the door. On the other side of the door, is EJ sniffing (what looks like) Sami’s hanky and caressing it on his cheek, saying she will be his very soon…as the previews show…

Duck (to Belle): If you want to hold on to that boy scout of yours, you had better stake your claim real soon…

Gabby hugs Shawn and says “anything I can do to help…anything at all…”

Max (to Kayla): I’d do anything for you guys…you know that… (Kayal): That mean you’ll do it?... (Max): Uhhhh…I guess…

Steve (to an orderly): You’re gonna get down there on your knees and clean it up…

And the credits roll…
