John and Paul tell Marlena about their planned trip.  She doesn’t look impressed – John asks her what’s wrong.  Marlena tells John that Eric asked about Sammi and said she wished she knew how he could get in touch with her.  Rafe asks his brother, Dario, to come into the station – he shows him a flyer, requesting volunteers to mentor at-risk kids; Rafe thinks they could do this together.  He tells his brother he knows he’s just trying to give him some direction in life, but he’s not the one he needs to worry about.  He is concerned about his mother, because of Eduardo.  Dario tells Rafe he doesn’t want to be the one picking up the pieces when he leaves her again. 

Eduardo shows up at Adriana’s house; he convinces her that he truly loved her, and hated walking away, reminiscing about their days together.  She agrees to let him in to cook for her.  While cutting an onion, together, they share a somewhat intimate moment.  Summer confesses to Brady that she had been working with a con man; she takes him to meet this man…. Apparently she had conned him out of $50,000 (so he was blackmailing her).  Brady pays him, then threatens him if he ever comes near Summer again or tries to get more money.  Summer tells Brady she doesn’t want him to be mad at her – he says he isn’t sure how to feel.  He asks if Daniel knew; she says he knew everything.  She explains she isn’t proud of the things she’s done, but it was what she had to do to survive.  He leaves.

Paul excuses himself for a moment.  While drinking his coffee, Paul’s hand begins to tremble uncontrollably.  No one else is there to see; he looks around.  Gabby stops by to pick up Arianna… she tells her parents she’s going to meet JJ for lunch.  They tell her to stay and invite him to come have lunch with them.  Rafe and Dario come by to talk to their mother and are surprised to see their father there.  Brady now has to go home and tell Teresa that she was right about Summer – he’s not happy about that, for sure.  Teresa is not happy when he tells her he gave Summer the money to pay the man off.  He tells her not to worry about it; she tells him she thinks he should have ‘checked’ with her first.  They get into a fight, Brady saying that she, of all people, should know about giving people second chances.  He leaves and she chases after him, simply hollering at the nanny as she goes.

Eduardo’s family is laughing and seeming to have a nice time.  Then Dario throws out a snide comment toward Eduardo.  Brady sees John and Marlena at their table and stops to say hi; they invite him to stay, but he says he can’t (taking care of a problem with DJ Wear).  Instead of following Brady, Teresa goes to Summer’s hotel room and tells her she better not hear that she’s gotten one more nickel out of Brady or she’s going to the cops.  The conman comes back by ‘Summer’s’ hotel room, and offers her half of the money – he calls it “a great con”.  She takes the envelope, but them tells him this WAS a one-time thing.  He calls her Cindy.  Casual conversation continues between Eduardo and JJ; then Dario loses it.  Mom asks him to calm down, and Rafe asks him to just accept that Eduardo is back and try to make it work.  JJ excuses himself.  Gabby gets up and leaves as well.  Fun, fun.  Dario storms out.  Rafe whispers in his mother’s ear before he leaves.  He tells her if she is happy, he can be happy.

John calls Teresa and tells her he just saw Brady; she asks if they can talk in person – and asks him not to tell Brady.  Summer (Cindy) says the past is dead and tells the man to leave; he forces a kiss on her.  She pushes him away, so hard he falls backward, and somehow hits his head (forehead) and starts convulsing.  Eduardo leaves, getting a kiss on the cheek.  Marlena notices that Paul has not ‘been himself’ since he sat back down; Paul tries to stand up from the table and almost knocks it over.  John decides to take him to the ER.  Summer calls Dario to help her decide what to do with the man, who is now dead, in her room.
