Andre asks why they would want to exhume Steffano’s body; Rafe tells him, he may still be alive – they need to know – they can find out by retesting the DNA from the body in the grave.  Andre consents to the exhumation, saying he is more than happy to prove them wrong.  Rafe makes the call.  Andre talks to Kate now, who questions whether Rafe might be right; she says she knows Andre thought they were close, but she once they she and Steffano were close too.  She was wrong; maybe he was too.  Rafe comes back and tells everyone that the test was conclusive… the body in that grave is NOT Steffano DeMira.  

Chloe’s mother gets in the way of Brady and Deimos’ sloppy attempt to get the baby’s DNA, although Deimos really could have swabbed inside a cheek quickly even when Nancy came into the room because she was focused on Chloe at first.  She tells them that she is staying at the Salem Inn and she will be taking the baby there with her, until Chloe recovers.  Nicole offers to help take care of Holly when she comes to sit with Chloe.  Nancy politely refuses her offer.  Nicole tells Brady how she noticed that Holly really resembles Parker when he was born; she always thought Parker was “all Daniel” but he must be more like Chloe than she thought.  As she steps away, Brady and Deimos agree it is looking more and more like this baby is Nicole’s.  Nancy talks to her daughter, telling her that she feels horrible about lying to Nicole – she has a right to know that little girl is hers, she says, but she made a promise to Chloe.  

Nicole comes back into the waiting room and tells Deimos that she’s sorry for getting so emotional, she just had herself convinced (as Holly’s Godmother) that she would be taking care of her for Chloe; she asks Deimos why her heart hurts so much.  Brady goes in to talk to Nancy; she thanks him for getting to Chloe in time.  He tells her it was Deimos who arranged the helicopter; she responds harshly that she doesn’t want to hear that man’s name, nor does she want him anywhere near her daughter.  She asks about Philip; Brady tells her he went awall again and no one really knows where he went.  She cries, realizing that Chloe broke Philip’s heart again.  She asks for time alone with her daughter; Brady leaves.  Marlena comes to talk to Brady, at his request; he needs her advice about Chloe and his belief that this baby is Nicole’s.  He’s asking if he should tell her; he cautions that he’s not 100% sure – if she is, she deserves to know; but if he’s wrong, her heart couldn’t take it.  She agrees with his decision to wait until he has proof.  

Joey brings Jade breakfast at the cafĂ©; he’s working this morning I guess.  He’s made her a special breakfast sandwich with all kinds of stuff pregnant women should eat, and a side of his grandma’s mashed sweet potatoes.  She complains about how she feels, and looks; Joey tells her, he thinks she’s beautiful (hmm, looks like she’s winning him back over).  He asks her if she wants dessert; she declines.  A man comes in; it’s her father.  He says, “this is where you’ve been hiding” and demands that she look him in the eye.  He calls her a thief; says she snuck back into his house and stole his money – he wants it back and calls her an “ungrateful bitch.”  She’s denies taking it; her dad grabs her purse and finds the envelope, with a picture of her and him and $$$.  She says she was going to pay him back; he calls her a thief AND a freeloader… Joey tells him not to talk to her that way.  He tells him he should apologize, adding that this stress is not good for the baby, and tells him to go to hell when he insults them both.  He mocks them; says she even killed her pet hermit crab in two weeks.  Joey threatens to call the police if he doesn’t leave the establishment; the man takes his money back and throws the picture down, telling her she can keep that; it means nothing to him.  He leaves.  She thanks Joey he sits down.  

Jade talks about babysitting when she was younger; he says he bets she was great with those kids.  He tells her she is going to be a great mom; she reaches out and takes his hand, adding that she thinks he will be a great dad.  He tells her he regrets being so mean to her before and accusing her of getting pregnant on purpose; he then tells her he really wants to take care of her and the baby now.  Nancy is ready to leave the hospital with the baby; Nicole asks to say goodbye.  She apologizes for crying as she hands her back; she says she doesn’t know what’s wrong with her… she’s just emotional.  As Nancy walks away, Deimos calls out and tells her to stop.  He tells her he wants to make amends with her and offers to help by calling top specialists to take care of Chloe; she responds by telling him the best doctors are their friends, right there at the hospital and they won’t be needing his help, now or ever.
