In the final episode, Chad DiMera (Billy Flynn) rejects Juliet’s (Rachele Schank) advances at their hotel room in London, as she takes off her nightgown for him. “You should know I love my wife,” he told her. “I love my wife. She is the only woman I want,” he added, prior to informing her that he is going home to her.
While in Paris, Abby (Kate Mansi) rejects the advances of Austin Reed (Austin Peck) and tells him that she “only wants Chad.” She acknowledged that both she and DiMera made mistakes, however, “Chad is her forever.” Reed leaves her apartment and finds a hotel room to stay in.
DiMera returns home earlier than expected and he finds Abby on the sofa and learns that Reed went to find a hotel. They express their love for each other and they share a passionate kiss. The episode ends with a surprising knock on the door, and DiMera is shocked with the person who is there (whose identity is not revealed to the audience).
