EJ has been on the phone with the D.A.'s office. They feel she has a disturbing history when it comes to the men in her life, given that she shot Collin Murphy and pesky rumors persist about her also having tried to bump off Victor. EJ now wants to know the unfiltered version of what happened. She repeats what she has already told Bo and Hope. The day before his death, she argued with Trent and tore up the marriage certificate. The next night, she followed him to the cemetery but when she left, he was still alive. Nicole is dismayed and accuses EJ of not believing in her. Why should he trust her, he counters, for she did not even trust him enough to tell him about her confrontation with Trent.

He departs to tell ma the good news. Hope returns to Nicole. Nicole wants to know how women can be pregnant in prison. Is there a maternity wing? No. Nicole gets upset.

Hope will not divulge anything and walks away. EJ returns to Nicole, who now tells him off for being concerned about Sami instead of her. They bicker. He tells her to grow up. Sami was almost killed and she is the mother of his child. And he will not allow his son or daughter to be born in prison! Exit EJ. Nicole whispers she did not kill Trent. It was someone else ... - At Sami's apartment, Hilda snores up a storm. Sami looks for the remote. The doorbell rings. The man in the black jacket is outside.

The man in the black jacket enters as Sami hides. He orders the occupant to come out slowly, with hands in the air. She does. The man in black identifies himself. Agent Rafe Fernandez, FBI. He recognizes Sami and lets her put her hands down. He tries to wake Hilda up, checks her eyes, and announces she has been drugged. Sami says she had alcohol but Rafe doesn't smell any.

Agent Rafe lectures her about the danger she put herself in. Hilarious Hilda wakes up. She realizes she was drugged. Big Hilda is mad. Look out, Sami! Hilda decides the whole thing isn't worth it. She quits and storms off. Rafe is exasperated and prepares to call Roman. Sami asks him not to call her dad. Ok but he must still call command and tell them Hilda resigned.

When they get ready for bed, Sami is surprised to see she has earplugs. She will sleep on the sofa. The doorbell rings. Hilda pulls her gun and heads to the door. Sami is ordered to hide. It is a masked trick or treater. She gives them raisins and points out trick or treaters are not welcomed there. Sami and Hilda start talking about kids.

She is concerned her illness will be the hardest on Lucas so she would like a temporary truce, even though she still has not forgiven Chloe for breaking Phil's heart. Chloe agrees to the truce and exits. She is visibly upset outside the door. Is she ok, Dan asks? She tells him she once had leukemia. Dan had no idea she was a cancer survivor.

Cynthia Savage of Savage Designs is introduced. Nicole wants her to redo the whole prenatal wing. EJ wants to talk to her. Once Cynthia is gone, Nicole tries to smooth things over.

Nicole is sorry she brought up Stefano. He is nothing like him. - At her new apartment/prison, Sami is on the phone talking about a prenatal appointment. Enter Darrell. What the hell is she doing?! He grabs the phone. Why did she call a clinic? Sami pretends she thinks she has food poisoning. Darrell doesn't buy it. She runs into the bathroom with morning sickness, which conveniently corroborates her story. Her guard now believes her but cannot take her to the clinic. He would need permission. He reminds her of the dangers. But she is sick and what would her dad say? He steps out and says he will see what he can do. He comes back with ginger ale and a blindfolded doctor. The blindfold is removed. Sami is mad and rude. The doc shows her his license. The doc asks about her symptoms. Sami wants privacy. The doc tells Darrell to leave them alone. A medical exam is private. Darrell reluctantly walks out. Sami now comes clean. She is pregnant and needs to know her baby is ok. She asks him to keep her secret. When they are done, Darrell comes back. The doc says she is under stress and requires a good diet, regular exercise and follow-up medical care. Darrell escorts the doc away.

Exit Darrell. Enter the new guard, big Hilda, who calls herself Sami's worst nightmare! - Replay of Mel at the station, when Bo tells her to fill them in on what's in the letter. What letter? Bo explains he is referring to the letter the lawyer gave her which she shoved in her purse. Hope says the letter was meant for them. Bo adds the lawyer helped them set her up. The letter, he repeats, was meant for them. So, they have now proven that Mel is trying to impede the investigation. Melanie protests. Bo instructs her to hand over the letter so they can see what Trent had to say. She hands it over. Bo reads and shows it to Hope. They make Mel leave. She will not see their evidence. Mel concludes that the letter must not say anything bad about her. Or they would have arrested her. She smiles and slurs if they don't leave her alone, she will press charges. Exit Mel. Bo and Hope are busy with more important matters. They will have Trent's letter sent to the lab. Bo then finds another envelope with a note. The second envelope is of great interest to them ... - At the cafe, Mel walks up to Phil and Chloe's table and slurs who is Phil hitting on now? Chloe says she is rude and leaves to track down Lucas, after advising Phil to ditch Mel. Mel smiles and accuses him of trying to get her in trouble with Bo and Hope but they have nothing on her. She thinks the letter cleared her and they are likely arresting whoever killed Trent right now. Phil is doubtful. Dead letters from dead people prove nothing. And how can she be sure she didn't kill him? Mel gets miffed and leaves. Chloe returns. Lucas called her before she even got to her car They will meet up later. She is still not sure Phil is ok. She and Lucas will be there for him. She kisses him and leaves. Mel returns, her eyes moist. She has overheard about Kate and she is sorry. - Back at the mansion, EJ and Nicole are about to kiss.

Chelsea now claims that without her mom around, Kate is all she really has. She wants to take care of her. She adds what happened with him and Kate still felt like betrayal but now her health and life are far bigger than Chelsea's petty feelings. Dan is reassuring. Chelsea claims all she and Dan ever had was her crush on him anyway.

A muffled voice leers "I saw you in the cemetery. I know what happened." She is in a tizzy. What if Bo and Hope know, too? Max speaks downstairs with Bo. Maybe he made a mistake sticking up for Mel. He now thinks she is the one who killed Trent! Hope comes downstairs. Max is behind the bar, and they continue the discussion. Max feels his sister may have been pushed to the edge. He is still worried. She knows the walls are closing in. Bo and Hope spy Mel walking outside, taking on her cell, ordering a cab. Bo, Hope, and Max walk outside.

He wants them to give it a chance. Lexie lets Theo play while she steps away with Abe. She does not believe he is up to performing. Abe thinks the photo shoot is no big deal.
