Replay of Nicole at the police station, ooops, the airport. Nicole tells Eric she had to stop him from getting on the plane. Eric doesn't understand. Nicole tells him Jude is his (yes Eric, you are the father). She says he's our son.
Nicole and Eric sit down. Eric asks how can this be when the test results said he wasn't. Nicole tells him because Sloan did changed the results to show EJ as the father (the ol' Sami switcheroo DNA test). Eric wonders how this happened?

EJ tells Holly he knows what she thinks of him. She says she's shaken and confused.

Theresa says she didn't, she was grieving too since she loved Victor. Theresa says again that she didn't open the briefcase. She's upset he's calling her a snoop and gold digger (but you are).

Stefan says if it was about Eric, she would have told him privately and not in front of everyone.
Stefan says she did it to embarrass EJ since he sent her to prison. Gabi says EJ got off easy and you're on his side. Stefan says no. He hates him. Gabi says he got what he deserved.
