John questions what Steve is talking about and what he wishes he could forget. Steve says it’s the bad stuff which for him was working for Victor back in the day but those memories won’t let go, especially lately when he’s anywhere near Konstantin.

Roman questions how Harris managed this. Harris explains that he snuck Lucas out in a laundry basket and that nobody knows about it, not even Rafe so no one can find out. Lucas says he’s sorry it went down this way and that Roman has to harbor the man who kidnapped his daughter. Roman calls him his stepson and he knows that Kate is happy to have him here safe and protected which means he’s happy too. Roman declares that Lucas is welcome here anytime.
Stephanie says Everett might not understand what it was like for her when he walked out of her life. Everett thinks he has some idea but Stephanie is not sure that he does. Stephanie states that once she got over the shock of his disappearance, she tormented herself for months, trying to figure out what she did and blamed herself for not being enough. Stephanie adds that she obviously knows now that it had nothing to do with her and she’s just trying to explain that when she thought he ghosted her, she wasn’t just hurt, she fell apart and didn’t recover for a long time. Stephanie doesn’t know why it was so shattering and guesses she’s just lacking in self confidence or prone to feeling like she never measures up and is always to blame when things go wrong. Everett takes her hand and says he’s so glad that she’s finally opening up about all of this because it helps him understand the depth of the pain that she went through when he disappeared that day. Everett tells her that he is so sorry that he hurt her and calls her the most important person in his life, who he loved with all his heart more than anything and still does. Everett declares that all he wants is to make it up to her. Everett asks if she will let him do that.
John asks what Steve isn’t telling him since he’s talking in circles. John assumes what’s really going on has something to do with Konstantin. Steve confirms that it does and reveals that he’s becoming more certain that somehow, Konstantin knows about The Pawn. John is shocked and can’t believe it, asking how that’s even possible. Steve responds that it’s what they need to find about. John says he hasn’t heard anyone say The Pawn for years and questions how he could even know or how much he knows. John asks what he said that made Steve believe that. Steve informs him that Konstantin asked him what he knew about The Pawn but he had a look on his face like he was an expert on it and was taunting him. John decides they are just going to have to figure out how much he knows and what his motive is. Steve says they will but they have to be strategic and careful. Steve sees this really upset John so he needs to go home to Marlena and rest. John thanks him for coming and says he is going home to Marlena because he knows she’s worried about this. They tell each other to take care of themselves as Steve walks away.
Alex and Theresa kiss until he says it’s his turn in Truth or Dare. Alex then asks Theresa what is the biggest lie she’s ever told. Alex comments on her giving this a lot of thought. Theresa then decides on a dare. Alex says it must be a hell of a lie if she’s not even going to tell him about it. Theresa responds that she’s told a lot of lies so she’d rather not get into it. Alex lets it slide and instead dares Theresa to sing her favorite childhood song at the top of her lungs. Theresa sings “Row, Row, Row Your Boat”. Alex joins in until a neighbor knocks on the door, so they decide that’s enough singing for the night. Alex suggests they should just go to bed.
Stephanie tells Everett that before they talk about the future, she doesn’t understand why nobody went looking for him in their time apart like his family or colleagues. Everett says he didn’t understand that either but from what he understands once he recovered, he wasn’t on any assignments at the time so he thinks that his boss just figured he moved on. Stephanie asks about his family not trying to find him. Everett reminds her that he lost his mom as a kid and his dad is a drunk. Stephanie understands and says she shouldn’t have asked. Everett calls it a reasonable question since family could be cousins, aunts, and uncles but he’s not that close with them. Stephanie decides it all makes sense. Stephanie asks if Everett was as lucid as he is now when he finally woke up from the coma. Everett admits that he wasn’t and says his first diagnosis was retrograde amnesia which is inability to access memories or information from before an accident, injury, or disease. Everett adds that all they could tell him was to give it time and says he was really lucky as eventually his memories did start to come back, gradually. Everett tells her that the first thing he remembered with any clarity was her and when that happened, his whole world got brighter and warmer and he felt stronger because he had purpose to get back to her. Everett declares that his goal was to tell Stephanie that she’s everything to him and she still is as they hug.
John comes home to Marlena, who is reading a book as she waited up for him. Marlena says she couldn’t go to sleep knowing he was out there late at night alone. John responds that he wasn’t alone and she knows that.
Kate tells Lucas that she panicked when Harris said he couldn’t make the deal to get him out of prison but now he’s here safe and sound. Lucas thought transport was part of the deal and questions if Harris kidnapped him. Harris says no but he would have if he had to. Roman asks what Harris did to. Harris talks about pressuring the attorney general and pointing out how important it is to have their main witness alive if they ever bring a case against Clyde and finally, he signed off the order to have Lucas in a safehouse situation. Harris adds that when the threat is eliminated, Lucas will have to return to prison to serve the rest of his sentence. Kate guesses they will just be happy with what they have now then. Lucas says they have no choice. Harris decides he’ll leave them alone and exits.
Alex thanks Theresa for the game and says it was fun. Theresa agrees and says she’ll see him in the morning then as she thinks they should get a good night sleep. Alex agrees if that’s what she wants to do, so they head to their own bedrooms. Theresa then asks who she is kidding and goes to Alex’s room.
Kate gets Lucas comfortable in bed. Lucas says it feels so good to be here even if it’s just temporary. Lucas adds that he knows it’s not easy for Roman. Roman insists that Lucas is family so he wants what is best for him. Roman acknowledges that what Lucas did is honorable and brave, so he admires him for putting his life on the line. Lucas thanks him. Kate decides it’s been a long night so he should get some sleep. They say goodnight. Kate thanks Roman.
Harris runs in to Steve in the town square. Harris asks what he’s doing out so late. Steve says Kayla is on the late shift and he got restless. Harris admits to being restless lately too. Steve says they both have jobs that can weigh heavy on the mind sometimes. Steve asks if he wants to unburden. Harris thanks him but says maybe some other time. They say goodnight as Harris walks away.
Marlena asks if John is not upset that she sent Steve to find him. John says not at all as they had a good talk. Marlena is glad and knows they can talk about anything, but she’s especially glad that he has someone who he can share concerns with. John says that Marlena always seems to know exactly what he needs which makes him a very lucky man. Marlena says she just loves him as they kiss. They then head to the bedroom together.
