Before the wedding ceremony began, Jada received a call from "Rafe." Initially worried that he might be having second thoughts, she was reassured when he said everything was alright. Stephanie helped Jada get ready for the altar and even gave her a few gifts for the special day.

Meanwhile, Gabi shared a conversation with "Rafe" too, not realizing that it was Arnold pretending to be her brother. Although the conversation gave no odd hints, Gabi couldn't seem to shake the doubt that something was off.

The episode also saw a captive Rafe managing to leave EJ unconscious on the ground at the DiMera mansion, intending to hunt down his doppelganger. However, he was intercepted by EJ's assistant, Rita. Rafe pleaded with her for a phone to call the police, claiming that EJ had held him hostage. Unfortunately, Rita pulled out a taser and stunned Rafe instead.

Rita then informed EJ about what had happened. She assured him that she had prevented Rafe from exposing everything. However, she demanded to know what was going on in return for a hefty amount of money to keep quiet.
