Mike finds Alli at the nurse's station and asks her to come into his office so they can talk. Mike is furious at Alli for what she did. Alli says that she was just holding onto her dream, and someday he may change his mind about the two of them. Mike tells her that won't happen. Alli doesn't understand why and says they were so good together. Mike says it was nice, but it's over. Alli accuses Mike of dumping her because they slept together. Mike says no, he just realized it wasn't meant to be. Alli screams "WHY!" and Mike screams back "Because I'm not in love with you, you have to accept that!" Alli says she doesn't know if she can, so Mike tells her that he doesn't know if she should continue to work at this hospital. Alli says she can't believe what she's hearing and asks if she's being fired? Mike tells her no, but she can't have her feelings affect her work and the hospital. Alli says she won't and she promises to accept the fact that they can only be friends. Mike thanks her. Alli leaves and tells herself she won't let him get away with it!

John tells her that he doesn't want to talk about the past, he wants to think about the future. John tells her that he wants to take her out to dinner tonight. Greta says she doesn't know if she's ready for that yet. John tells her that she is ready and he wants to do this for her, so she agrees.

Gina is in Salem Place remembering dancing with John. She can't believe that John forgot what they meant to one another. Bo comes up behind "Hope" and scares her.

Bo says he was, and Greta is worried about her. "Hope" asks why and Bo tells her about his conversation with Greta. He asks her why she started to cry when they talked about John? "Hope" says she was emotional about Greta's face, but Bo says Greta thinks she cried because she was having memory flashes. "Hope" admits that she has had a few. Bo tells her they need to go to Europe ASAP, but "Hope" tells him to stop hounding her, she's not ready. Bo is confused and asks her why she changed her mind about Europe? "Hope" says she's afraid to leave Shawn D again and Bo tells her that she's right, they should spend more time with him. Bo suggests they go to the Cheatin'Heart, but "Hope" says she's feeling sick. John calls Bo and tells him about the celebration for Greta. Bo says he can go, but he doesn't know about "Hope." "Hope" asks Bo what is going on, and then she says she wants to go. Bo asks "Hope" how come she changed her mind. "Hope" says she doesn't want to go, but it would be good for Greta and for them to get out. Bo says she makes it sound like it's going to be unpleasant for her, like she doesn't want to have a future with him. Bo apologizes for pushing and leaves to take care of things. Gina says she's finally going to see John again.
