Leo tells Dimitri that he’s not that easy and now he knows that Dimitri is just marrying Gwen to cash in on his inheritance, she needs to know the truth. Dimitri removes his shirt and argues that what Gwen doesn’t know can’t hurt her. Leo says he’s not interested.

Xander asks Gwen if she’s sure this is a good idea when she just met Dimitri and knows the horrific things he’s done. Gwen acknowledges that he hasn’t led an exemplary life but he says that she brings out the best in him. Gwen adds that he knows how she likes bad boys and she’s no angel herself. Xander can’t help but wonder if maybe this has less to do with her being in love with Dimitri and more to do with him getting with Chloe.

Dimitri lists off what he likes about Leo and says he thinks he’s so hot. Dimitri understands Leo doesn’t want to betray his best friend, but asks if it’s any better to betray his own desires. Dimitri says the heat between them is undeniable and they can’t fight the pull much longer. Leo agrees and kisses Dimitri. Leo then stops and agrees to give himself to Dimitri if he promises to be gentle, because he won’t be. Leo then shoves Dimitri onto the bed and gets on top of him.
Brady finishes his call with the camp and tells Chloe about Rachel going missing from camp and he bets that she is with Kristen now.
Rachel complains to Kristen that camp was stupid and she wants to stay here with her. Kristen wishes she could but says there’s a lot going on with their family and it’s very complicated. Kristen reminds Rachel that Brady has full custody and he makes the decisions, so she needs to call him. Rachel thought they were fighting that. Kristen responds that she is but it’s very hard as she needs a lawyer and nobody wants to take her case. Rachel argues that there has to be some way they can be together as Kristen hugs her.

Dimitri and Leo lay in bed after having sex. Leo jokes that Dimitri has a magic penis as they kiss until Leo stops and says this can’t go on like this when Gwen is his best friend. Dimitri asks if he’s saying they can’t see each other again. Leo says no to that but he has to cancel his proposal to Gwen. Leo adds that Gwen will be hurt but she would be more hurt being the wife of a gay man and he can help her through that. Dimitri asks how he’s going to help her when he’s involved with the man who had just turned his back on her. Leo says they can leave that part out. Dimitri reveals that Gwen already said yes to his proposal. Dimitri adds that he genuinely likes Gwen but it’s Leo that he wants. Leo questions him suggesting that he marries Gwen and keeps him as a side piece. Leo declares there is no way that is happening. Dimitri complains that he will lose a staggering amount of money if he’s not married by the time he turns 40 which is the end of the month. Leo says he’d hate to see him lose that money but this situation begs a question. Leo points out that the contract states that Dimitri has to be married by the time he’s 40, but it does not say he has to marry a female. Dimitri then asks if Leo is asking him to marry him.
Xander asks Gwen how she can be sure that Dimitri is being straight with her when she knows he’s a con man but Gwen says she doesn’t want to hear it and that’s none of his business. Xander says he just wants her to be happy, especially after how he hurt her. Gwen acknowledges that they hurt each other. Gwen knows she’s taking a chance but says she’s not naïve or stupid. Xander knows she can handle herself so he agrees to shut up now. Xander advises her to just be careful with Dimitri. Gwen appreciates his concern but says she doesn’t appreciate him fornicating all over the office so she suggests sanitizing it as she then exits.
Maggie tells Chad that they will work out all the details of his contract and she’s sure he will be pleased with the terms. Maggie excitedly hugs him and says she’s so happy about this. Chad informs her that he has a new job while he and Stephanie found an apartment together. Chad adds that it’s none of his business, but he was wondering if it would be uncomfortable for her and Victor with Alex living there while working for DiMera. Maggie reveals that he won’t have to worry about that because Alex just moved out.
Alex informs Stephanie that he decided it was uncomfortable and that he wanted his own place. Stephanie says it makes sense but apparently Salem has a hot rental market, noting that Brady was just there looking too but she and Chad had already decided to take it. Alex congratulates her then. Stephanie thanks him and informs him that Chad has decided to take Alex’s old job at Titan. Alex says good for him. Stephanie mentions that Chad is excited about it, but she hopes it doesn’t set them back since they have gotten to a really good place after everything they have been through. Stephanie doesn’t want things to change that as she really would like for them to be friends. Alex responds that he’d really like that too and decides he’s going to find himself a place to live. Alex says he’ll see her soon and exits.
Brady goes to the DiMera Mansion and asks Kristen where their daughter is.
Chad returns to Stephanie at the apartment and informs her that Maggie was thrilled that he accepted her offer. Stephanie says she is too as they kiss. Chad asks if the realtor came. Stephanie says not yet and then there’s a knock at the door but it’s Alex, who delivers their lease and keys to them and explains that the realtor asked him to drop them off on his way home. Chad argues that he doesn’t live anywhere near there. Alex then reveals that he just got a place directly across the hall from them.
Chloe returns to Xander at the Spectator office and asks how it went with Gwen. Xander says better than expected as Gwen was in an unusually good mood. Xander asks if Chloe is okay. Chloe explains that she ran in to Brady, who found out that Rachel went missing from camp. Xander says that’s terrible but Chloe notes that Brady has a pretty good idea of where she went.
Kristen pretends not to know what Brady is talking about when it comes to Rachel missing from camp. Brady tells her not to do these mind games and to just tell the truth for once. Brady asks if Kristen is hiding Rachel or not. Kristen swears that if Rachel was there, she would tell him. Rachel hides outside the door and then sneaks upstairs.
Gwen walks through the town square and calls Leo but it goes to voicemail. Gwen leaves a message that she was hoping he would pick up because she wanted to share the news with him in person, but she just couldn’t wait to share the wonderful news with her most trusted and loyal friend. Gwen then announces that she said yes to Dimitri and for the first time in her life, she might actually have a chance of real happiness…
Leo asks Dimitri what if he was asking him to marry him. Dimitri brings up his old world family and values. Dimitri wishes they were able to accept that but states that the contract does specify he must be married to a woman. Leo points out that Gwen does really like him and maybe even loves him. Dimitri promises to take care of Gwen in his own way, but Leo has to promise no one can know about this since it would only hurt Gwen. Leo talks about how many men he’s thrown himself at and they always turn out to be either too straight or too nice. Dimitri jokes that he’s neither. Leo asks him to promise this isn’t some sort of a trick. Dimitri swears that it’s not and then asks Leo to swear that no one will know about this. Dimitri says he hopes this happens again and again. Leo swears that it will be their little secret as they lay in bed together, while Rachel overhears from the hallway.
