After the Rachels knocked Ava (Tamara Braun) out, they devised a plan to keep her out of the picture. As soon as Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) and Brady (Eric Martsolf) realized that Kristen’s photo album of Aremid was missing and that Rachel (Finley Rose Slater) could be hiding at the house, they arrived and found their daughter hiding under a sheet. Kristen immediately grounded her, while Brady assured Rachel that he wasn’t ending things with Ava. In the end, the Woman in White (Roslyn Gentle) had Ava tied to a chair while Rachel held onto Ava’s phone.
Holly (Ashley Puzemis) vented to Doug III (Peyton Meyer) about Tate (Leo Howard) and Sophia (Madelyn Kientz) having to raise the baby, while Sophia asked Tate if they should go ahead with the adoption despite her mother’s objections. Tate suggested giving the baby to a Christian couple as an alternative that could please Sophia’s mom.
Later, Leo (Greg Rikaart) visited Doug III and offered him a job as his assistant to help him pay off his debt to Holly and hopefully buy back Alice’s necklace.

Gabi (Cherie Jimenez) and Stephanie (Abigail Klein) were in full party-planning mode for Jada’s (Elia Cantu) bachelorette celebration, kicking things off with some pre-game jello shots. Paulina (Jackée Harry) and Chanel (Raven Bowens) arrived, followed by Jada and Belle (Martha Madison), and the gals partied and drank while Chanel drowned her sorrows about Johnny (Carson Boatman).
EJ (Dan Feuerriegel) made an unwanted appearance at “Rafe’s” (Galen Gering) bachelor party, which included Johnny, Steve (Stephen Nichols), and Shawn (Brandon Beemer). When Steve found out “Rafe” was working for EJ, he warned his PI not to get involved with The DiMeras. Things took a turn when a cop showed up and accused “Rafe” of identity theft, then revealed herself to be a stripper. The girls walked in just as the stripper was giving “Rafe” a lap dance.
The tension rose when a drunk Chanel confronted Johnny and smashed a bottle before leaving the pub. Shawn went after her and found her at the bar, where she planted one on him.
Meanwhile, EJ took a very drunk Belle home, and the two had an argument that ended in a passionate kiss. Back at Arnold’s (Galen Gering) room at the Salem Inn, he hopped into bed with the stripper.

When Chanel woke up at Shawn’s apartment in his t-shirt, she asked if anything happened between them and he assured her nothing had. When she returned home later, she found Johnny waiting for her. She admitted she kissed Shawn, but he advised her to attempt to save their marriage if she really wanted to.
After spending the night together, EJ and Belle went for round two just before Marlena (Deidre Hall) walked in on them. She expressed her disapproval of Belle’s actions and told her that she wasn’t welcome to be with EJ in her home. Later, Shawn arrived at the scene and spotted EJ and Belle leaving her room.
While Kristen shared the story of her family and Aremid with Johnny, Rachel called the Woman in White and asked about Ava, who was still tied to a chair in the abandoned house.

Jada woke up nursing a hangover while Javi arrived at “Rafe’s” room and was shocked to find the stripper in a towel. Javi tore into his cousin, but Arnold convinced him not to say anything. Later, Leo became everyone’s confidante after Marlena revealed to him that she had caught Belle with EJ. Then Javi confided in him about Rafe’s affair, wondering if he should tell Jada.
Gabi showed up at the Horton House to ask JJ (Casey Moss) to be her date for the wedding. He initially agreed but then had to decline after getting called into work.
At the DiMera Mansion, EJ brought Rafe a muffin and a birthday hat and informed him that it was also his wedding day. Rafe tackled EJ and knocked him out before escaping from the tunnels.

After Rafe escaped, he ran into Rita (Maggie Carney), who tased him as a favor to EJ. EJ managed to bring an unconscious Rafe back into the tunnels, then texted Arnold.
As everyone gathered for the wedding, Steve opened up to Kayla (Mary Beth Evans) about Rafe taking on a case for EJ without telling him. Steve was honored to walk Jada down the aisle. When Paulina asked if anyone objected, Leo stood to speak, but Javi quickly stopped in. Suddenly, “Rafe” received a text message that prompted him to declare that he couldn’t marry Jada after all.
