Rex hopes his priceless invention will make Tony want him as heir to the DiMera empire, regardless of blood-ties. Brady thinks Nicole is in his shower trying to seduce him, she denies, Larry's muddy trousers make sure he doesn't believe her lie she just wanted to sing; dropping her towel doesn't work either, yet he says the real Nicole is better then the whore. Cassie calls Lucas sweet, the one for her, he refuses to go any further under Tony's orders; she dumps him, dashing to the Brady pub to pick up an older stud who suggested his home, John chases him, she sneers Marlena isn't her mother. Held at gunpoint by crewmen Sal and Dirk, Phil pretends they're frat-kids, but Belle doesn't know the Tri delta pledge text; they fight, run and point the gun repeatedly, finally get away with a sample of the liquid Maya dropped but the only way off the ship is diving, underwear only. Shawn tells Maye he has trouble with Belle's father and pretends to be interested in her, but in secret. Outside Tony and John discuss Maya's part. Larry threatens to split, Nicole couldn't turn them in for her own sake, he wants her as reward to kill Victor. Tony discusses with Lucas -who smartly suggests the South American coal mines as cover- and Rex plans for the laser and to deal with double-crosser Maya, who enjoys a chocolate fondue with Shawn.
