As Deimos and Brady discuss how they are going to be able to get DNA for the test to see if Nicole is Holly’s mother, Nicole clings tightly to the baby, talking to Chloe, pleading with her to wake up.  Brady reminds Deimos they cannot tell Nicole what they suspect; they must find out the truth first.  Deimos has a thought; Brady goes in to talk to Nicole… she begins crying, talking about her friendship with Chloe.  He hugs her.  She carries on about how much she’s always wanted to be a mother, all the trouble she has had trying to become a mother, and how much she has fallen in love with this baby girl already; she says when Chloe wakes up, she is going to have a hard time giving Holly up.  Brady can’t take it anymore; he tells her, maybe she won’t have to.  

Deimos comes in, interrupting him, although Brady denies it; Deimos asks Nicole how she’s doing and suggest she take a break and go on a walk with him.  She roughly tells Deimos she is not leaving, but she thinks he should because Chloe wouldn’t want him there – surprisingly, he doesn’t argue about it, offers to get her something to eat, which she declines and offers to take Brady to eat instead.  Nicole asks him what he was going to tell her before he leaves; Brady says he just meant that they don’t know how long it will be until Chloe wakes up.  She accepts this answer and he leaves.  Brady remembers back to a time when Nicole had delivered a baby that did not survive; he was one to tell her the bad news.  Heartbreaking.  Deimos comes out; he tells Brady he was unsuccessful in getting a blood sample for the baby from the lab.  They say they still need to find a way to get the needed DNA sample; Deimos says they have to get Nicole away from the baby by giving her a reason she can’t ignore.  They tell her that the nurse needs some information about Chloe; Nicole knows Chloe best… she agrees to go talk to the nurse.  They pull out swab sticks to collect the baby’s DNA. Chloe’s mom (Nancy) comes in and interrupts them; she says she is there to take custody of Chloe’s baby.  

Chad tells Abby that all he really wants is for them to work things out, together.  Shaun visits his mom; she is noticeably nervous and he asks what’s wrong.  She tells him things have gotten a little out of control; one of her allies has been murdered (Chili).  He wants to go tell the Warden; Hope insists he doesn’t.  She says what she needs are allies, and she needs them quickly before someone else dies.  He agrees to leave; Hope gets a visit from ‘Cocoa’ (one of the bullies), who tells her that position for “top spot” is open.  She suggests Hope gracefully bows out; Hope says, “not a chance.”  The new girl tells Hope she couldn’t stand it if something happened to her; Hope tells her they need to talk to some of the other girls…get them on their side.  Hope gives her a list of names.  

Shane says (speaking of Steffano), “seems like the old son-of-a-bitch might still be alive.”  Kayla and Steve are shocked; Rafe asks if he heard correctly.  Shane says there have been sightings, and talk of a “new player in town” spending all kinds of money and making a show of it.  They all agree that sounds like Steffano.  He also says this person likes Opera, Chess and some certain Italian dish I cannot possibly spell; and they have a photo – a partial side view – it’s grainy, but it looks like Steffano.  It’s not proof, but they agree with Shane; it’s worth investigating.  They all shake hands and go to take care of their individual duties, working toward the same goal.  Andre sits down with Kate at a table in the diner; she points out how untrustworthy he has proven himself to be.  She tells him there are missing funds in one of the accounts; knowing all the lies he has told, she says, she has to wonder what other secrets he has.  Shaun tells Rafe about Chili’s murder; he says his mom is in trouble.  Rafe says he knows where to get proof, if Steffano is really alive.  Andre comes into the station; Rafe tells Andre that they need to dig up Steffano’s body, and the sooner the better.
