Billie sneaks into Abe's office and gets out Bo's personnel file. She sneaks the folder, stuffed inside a newspaper, out to her desk and reads the contents. Later, Billie is talking on the phone with someone about the real reason she is in Salem, and it's not for Bo!

The people at Sefano's memorial service have to leave before the will is read. Colin shows up in time for the reading of the will per Tony's request as his doctor. Bo doesn't buy it and keeps a close eye on Colin. Stefano's attorney starts reading the will and Kate is first on the list. Stefano says he is giving her a food she has been desiring. Kate opens the box and pulls out a jar of kipper fillets. She is very upset and disturbed by it and runs out. Celeste is next. Stefano says he has something that she misses more than she realizes. Celeste pulls out linked paper dolls with the words "we must reclaim our youth" written on them. Bo thinks its Stefano's way of saying he was behind the baby switch, but Celeste thinks it's something completely different but she won't know what it is until the time comes. Roman is next receiving a gladiator statue which means they will fight to the death. Grandpa Shawn Brady is told his gift will remind him of a troubled childhood and his family's troubled future. He pulls out a wooden boat, yells that it's a bomb, and throws it. Bo picks up the boat and says it's not a bomb and John picks up a small wooden baby that fell out of the boat. Shawn looks very upset seeing the baby doll and looks directly at Colin, then runs outside for air. Colin wants to know if the baby doll has some meaning for him, but Shawn tells him to leave it alone. Next, Hope is warned to keep her eyes open despite the darkness and opens up a scarf with a knot in it. She holds it up and thinks it is a noose. Tony looks at it and tells her it is only a lovely scarf. Later, Hope determines that it is a blindfold. Marlena is told that her days of role playing have not ended. She opens a pillow that is embroidered, in French, the words "a sleeping beauty in the woods", and on the back of the pillow are stars. Hope figures out that he is referring to the sleeping beauty story where she pricks her finger and falls asleep for 100 years. John, is left Stefano's special chess set. Later at home, John realizes the queen chess piece is missing and that it represents Marlena. And Marlena's finger gets pricked on the pillow from Stefano reminding her of the story Hope talked about. Lexie was left a plaque with the DiMera family crest on it. Later, she finds a note from Stefano hidden inside asking her to do everything he tells her and Lexie agrees. Tony is given a doll house version of the DiMera mansion. He reaches inside the chimney and pulls out a phoenix feather, the feather catches fire and Tony blows it out as everyone looks shocked. Later, when Tony is alone with the doll house, he reaches inside the front doors and finds the queen chess piece from John's chess set and he sees Marlena's face on it.

When Sami left the mansion she had a plan to slash her tire and get Brandon to stop and help her out. Brandon saw her go off the road and stopped just like she planned. Sami got out of her car and unknowingly, the knife she used, fell on to the ground. When Brandon came over and tried to comfort Sami, she told him to go away because he didn't really care about her. Just then, Abe shows up and tells Brandon to leave Sami alone. Abe and Brandon get into a fist fight and Brandon finds the knife on the ground. Brandon is about to go after Abe with the knife but Sami jumps in, stops the fight and gets Abe to leave. Sami comforts Brandon over what just happened and tries to get him to open up about his childhood but he won't. Brandon goes to change Sami's tire for her and sees that it has been slashed. Then he realizes that Sami slashed it herself to get him to stop. Sami admits that she did and that it was worth it because she again could see how much he cared for her. Brandon told her she is wacky and leaves her there alone.
