While Shawn sleeps, Belle puts her engagement ring away and starts stripping and kissing him wildly again on the couch, yet already down to his boxers he manages to resist the siren song, realizing she would regret having premarital sex now, especially being out of condoms. Shawn tells his pa to consider solving the sex dilemma by dropping every aspect of his life to take a full-time job and marry her immediately, but is luckily talked out of it. Mimi worries how and why lover Rex has got Tuscany matches while he doesn't even smoke -he says they're for a surprise with candles for her- and about his weird behavior during headaches, he admits a major blackout around Abe's murder and curses Stefano's mysterious plan; they kiss up, he leaves after another round of why-rich-Tony-as-father-but-Roman-may-not-know; Bonnie, now a maid at the DiMera mansion, drops by to insist daughter Mimi should marry Rex and certainly accept his money, for both of them. Rex goes to Tony's, where ex-nanny Céleste has the arrogance to object to Lexie moving back in, openly suspecting Rex, Tony defends him unconditionally and forbids him to take a lie-detector test, ever. The only one on Roman's PD team who does more then wine and boast revenge-promises against the DiMera suspects from a long list, is latest technology addition TEK Kramer (now ex-ISA), who finds the evidence-arsonist left a Tuscany matchbook from the new series with a slightly changed logo which Maggy started using in the restaurant only that night, but except Rex all suspects were there then, and even he could have got one from Cassie; the only fingerprint on it fits no suspect, but Maggie. John has set himself up as next victim, and indeed someone in black sneaks onto him at home...
