Marlena gratefully accepts. Meanwhile, Kristen tries to bond with John Junior. As John thinks about Marlena, the doorbell rings. Kristen opens it to find the contractor Stefano sent to build the secret room for hiding Susan if the need arises. Kristen tells John the man is there to enlarge the baby's playroom, and promises she will handle everything. Just then, Susan comes downstairs and says she is going shopping for "Elvis." Kristen gives her a big wad of money and tells her to stay gone for a long time. Marlena arrives shortly afterward, barely missing Susan. John comforts Marlena about Roman while Kristen and Bart, the contractor, discuss plans for the secret room. Meanwhile, Susan goes shopping at Salem Place, and runs into Celeste staring into her tea leaves. Intrigued by the notion of a "gypsy", Susan begs Celeste to tell her fortune. Celeste senses turmoil, and remembers Susan from the hospital as recently having given birth. While talking to Susan, Celeste has flashes of an Elvis Presley song, and tells Susan about it. Susan is stunned, and tells Celeste that her baby's name is Elvis. A little later, Caroline Brady sees Susan emerging from a store, and thinks she looks familiar. Caroline hears the store clerk mention the Blacks, and asks Susan if she knows John and Kristen. Upon learning that Susan is the new baby nurse, Caroline suggests that she meet Susan at a friend's house to go through Brady Black's old baby clothes so that they don't have to buy so many new ones. Susan agrees, not knowing that the friend is her psychiatrist, Dr. Marlena Evans. When Susan returns to the house, she finds Kristen with the contractor. Kristen is obviously annoyed by Susan, especially since Susan is much more successful at calming the baby than Kristen herself is. Kristen tells Susan to get lost, so Susan goes to Marlena's penthouse, where Caroline is waiting. Together, they begin to go through Brady's clothes. Meanwhile, Marlena leaves John's house after he promises to call her the minute he hears anything from Shane Donovan or the ISA, who are tracking Roman. Marlena is totally unaware that Susan had been within a few feet of her in the DiMera house. Marlena returns to her penthouse and finds Caroline there. Caroline explains about the baby nurse, and Marlena starts heading up the stairs, eager to meet her. Back at the DiMera House, Celeste arrives with a gift for the baby. John presses Kristen to take her upstairs to see the baby, although Kristen is obviously uncomfortable, fearing what Celeste might guess. As soon as Celeste sees Bart, the contractor, she recognizes him as a former employee of Stefano DiMera. Although Bart swears he has been "clean" since Stefano died, Celeste does not believe him. When Celeste goes in to see the baby, she hears the Elvis song again, and is puzzled. Although Kristen tries to mislead and ridicule her, Celeste is suddenly struck with the truth, and tells Kristen, "This is not your baby!"
John finally gets the call he's been waiting for. Although he hopes for good news from Shane about Roman, it is obvious from the expression on his face that he does not get it. John hangs up after telling Shane that he will pass the news on to Marlena.

Billie tells Hope that she will have to ask Bo. Just then, Shawn-D wakes up, and asks Hope if his memory of Bo telling him they would be a family again was a dream. Hope tells him it was. Billie takes Hope aside and asks her not to tell Shawn-D about the engagement, knowing it will only cause him unnecessary pain. Hope agrees, telling Billie it's not the right time. Billie leaves to visit Bo at the station. After Shawn-D falls back asleep, Hope angrily tells Franco that she can't rest while Shawn-D's attacker is out on the streets, and vows to go back to the Snake Pit to track down the supplier. Franco follows her.
Meanwhile, Bo and Abe begin their interrogation of Viper at the police station. King and Max find out that Viper was taken in, and King is furious and apprehensive. King vows that if Viper cracks, he will go directly after Billie and Hope to gain leverage on Bo. He tells his Salem PD plant, Nan, to keep an eye on the interrogation, but she is unable to hear anything. She does manage to convince Bo to tell her the minute the suspect cracks, inventing a sob story about a brother who was killed by dealers. Viper tells them that he is dead if he reveals the name of his supplier. Bo goes to take a break and Billie arrives, telling him how upset Hope is. That only adds to Bo's frustration. Billie then tells Bo she has an idea - since she used to be part of the Salem drug scene, she could look up some of her old contacts and trace down the supplier. Bo tells her to forget about it because it's way too dangerous. Billie ignores him and decides to pursue it anyway. Bo returns to the interrogation room and puts serious pressure on Viper, promising to dog his every waking moment unless he reveals the name of his supplier. Viper finally cracks and reveals the name of his boss: "King...I work for King." Bo clenches his fists in triumph and says, "Gotcha."
