Philip made a toast to Victor’s painting and said he was doing what he had to do. Xander walked in on him and said he knew what he did. Philip was afraid that he knew the truth. Xander said he knew about the detective Philip hired to research him. Philip said the detective searched information on the DiMeras board members so they could get them to vote their way. He said the detectives asked about Xander because of his work with Kristen and Rolf. Xander said that was a good idea. He said Peter could side with them, but Philip didn’t think he would. Philip told Xander about the Blake family. They continued talking about the DiMeras. While Kristen was at the bar drinking, she thought about seeing her mother. Sarah showed up to check on her after what happened with Rachel. She said she was happy that Rachel was safe. Kristen thanked her for her concern. She said it was good to see Sarah walking again thanks to the serum. Sarah reminded her that she extorted Xander for the serum. Kristen realized that Sarah wasn’t concerned about Rachel. She said Sarah was holding a grudge against her. They ended up arguing over whether or not Xander would have done the same thing in her position. When Sarah left, Kristen called Rachel, but she didn’t answer.

Arnold was in the commissioner’s office at the police station with his feet up. Jada walked in and was upset that he was getting comfortable in the office. She told him that EJ framed her, but he didn’t care. He told her EJ did a great job of framing her and that she was too toxic for the job. Arnold said this was the best thing for her. Jada said he lost his mind if he thought she was going to take what was happening to her. Arnold told her to let the situation go and he would talk to Paulina about hiring her back as a detective. She was upset at the idea of working for him. He said they would go back to the way things were before. When he kissed her, she slapped him. She said he was a chauvinist who was intimidated by a black woman in charge. Jada took off the ring and said she didn’t want him or the job. When she walked out, she told Shawn to come with her. While EJ was at the Blake house, Rita called him. He let her know that he put Rafe in a safe place. When heard something, he noticed Ava tied to a chair. He took the gag off and asked what she was doing there. She said the two Rachels did that to her. The woman in white showed up. EJ wanted to know who she was. The woman in white asked the same thing. Ava said she was Kristen’s mother. EJ said that wasn’t possible because Rachel was dead. He said he would know because he was Kristen’s brother. Rachel said he wasn’t Peter. EJ said she should let Kristen know she was alive. Ava said Kristen already knew, but she left her there. When EJ started to untie Ava, Rachel said he wouldn’t be helping Ava. Ava asked EJ not to listen to Rachel. Rachel said she knew the real reason why he was there. Rachel and EJ left so they could talk. When they were alone, Rachel told him she saw him put Rafe upstairs. She said if he let Ava go, she would tell the police what he did. Rachel said they were on the same side. She said little Rachel did this so letting Ava go would keep Kristen from her daughter. EJ said Ava kidnapped Susan before. Rachel said to consider it karma. EJ agreed not to say anything as long as she didn’t say anything about Rafe. He said he was doing this for Kristen and Rachel and ordered her not to do anything to Ava and Rafe or he wouldn’t be able to protect Kristen and Rachel. Brady talked to Belle about Ava. He said something was wrong and told her what was going on with Ava. Belle said Steve would find out what was going on. Changing the subject, Brady asked her about EJ.

Belle agreed that she wanted to be with someone dangerous. Jada told Shawn about what happened with Rafe. Shawn couldn’t believe Rafe talked to her the way he did.

She thought about seeing Belle at the DiMera mansion and told him that she probably slept with EJ again. Arnold called EJ and told him that Jada was on to him being different.

Finn and Poppy argue more about the fact that she didn’t tell him that he’s Luna’s father.

Finn goes to the prison, but they won’t tell him where Luna is. Finn phones Poppy, wondering where Luna is. She doesn’t know but asks him again not to tell Steffy the truth.

Luna tells Bill that Will and Electra were there, but she stayed out of sight. He’s worried that someone might find her there and reminds her that no one can see her or know she’s there. She hides when they hear someone else coming. It’s Liam, who notes that Bill is keeping the door unlocked again. They hug, talk about work a little, and Liam’s kids. Bill suggests they go out on the boat, so Liam agrees. He mentions that tonight is Steffy and Finn’s anniversary. Bill wonders how Liam feels about that. Liam is just glad she’s happy and remembers that she was locked in a cage not too long ago by “Luna, the psycho.” Luna, hiding nearby and listening, looks upset at that.

Brooke and Carter continue to chat about how the coup might have been wrong. He tells her that he needs to focus on the company, but Brooke thinks that it’s wrong for Ridge and Eric not to be there at Forrester. He agrees, but points out that they made that choice. He apologizes, though, because he didn’t think that when he made her CEO, Ridge would turn to Taylor. She admits that she’s shocked at how quickly that happened. They know that Ridge felt betrayed. Later, Carter thinks about Steffy and Ridge signing the papers that led to the coup.

Ridge is on the phone with Justin, trying to find a way out of losing Forrester Creations. Justin tells him that nothing can be done legally. Ridge shares that news with Steffy. She tells Ridge that she intends to put an end to the “evil coup.” She thinks they will self-destruct, with help from Daphne. She points out that something good came of it – Ridge broke free of Brooke and went back to Taylor. He thanks her for always rooting for them. She has to leave because it’s her anniversary with Finn. He hugs her and wishes her a happy anniversary.

A little later, Brooke arrives; he thinks she’s there for Donna. She’s there to see him and tells him that she doesn’t want to be at odds with him. They still love each other and need to fix things. Ridge is belligerent and not softening to her, at all, still feeling betrayed. She tells him that she’s been working to get everyone back together, and talking to Carter about how wrong this is, and how bad it is for everyone. She apologizes for how all of it happened. He tells her how he felt to lose the company, and to be humiliated, by her and Carter. She tells him that it hurt her when he ran to Taylor. He refuses to talk about Taylor. She reminds him that their connection is always there, no matter what. She’s willing to fight for that.

Steffy goes home and flashes back to when Finn proposed on the beach. She wonders where he is as she lights romantic candles. Steffy steps on a toy, which reminds her of Finn rescuing her. Finn finally arrives, so they kiss. She gives him a glass of wine. She can tell that he seems tense. He groans because he forgot it was their anniversary, but she forgives him (thinking that it had to do with saving lives at work). She urges him to forget his bad day and tells him how she was thinking about his proposal, and how strong their bond is now. She admits that she also thought of Luna, and how he rescued her. She says that they have so much to look forward to. He stays quiet, so Steffy asks him what’s bothering him. He says that there’s something he needs to tell her.
