As Marlena tries to get out of the secret passage, John searches for her, leaving Tony clutching for his life. Marlena bursts in and helps John save him. Tony takes great joy in the fact that John was wrong - he had nothing to do with Marlena's disappearance. Marlena doesn't want to talk about where she was and asks John to take her away from the island. After they're gone, Tony opens the secret compartment again and finds a locked box; he opens the box using the three-pronged key to find a smaller wooden box with no visible means to open it. Meanwhile, on the jet back to Salem, John pushes Marlena about what happened on the island. She tells John he couldn't let Tony die; as she pulls out the piece of the letter she found, she drops a bombshell that it says Tony is John's brother!

As he tries to shuttle her out, Hope whispers a desperate prayer for Bo to save her. Meanwhile, Shane visits Bo as family and tries to offer comfort. Bo feels his connection with Hope and in a huge moment, Roman helps Bo escape...
Sykes reveals to Craig that Chloe can't be his daughter because he had a vasectomy thirty years ago.

Meanwhile, Brady surprises Chloe with a nice dinner in the mountain cabin. They listen to music and dance in the candlelight. As they prepare to go to bed, Chloe tells Brady that if the couch is as uncomfortable as it looks, they may need to reconsider the sleeping arrangements...
