about her feelings for Brady. Chloe admits that she would have accepted
had Brady asked her to the movies, but only because she enjoys provoking
him. Brady saunters back into the room and proceeds to spar with Chloe

"done it" with a man. Greta is more determined than ever to get

Just when it seems like Chloe might actually be on the verge of
happiness, she sees Philip with Cynthia and shuts down. Nancy remarks
that being around Brady puts Chloe in a good mood, unlike the time she
spent with Philip. Chloe absorbs this and admits she still loves Philip,
which is why things are so hard. Chloe spends the day trying to run from
her pain. She doesn't even confide in Belle when she comes across Belle
and Shawn in the park. Chloe stops running, however, when she arrives at
the skating pond where Philip first declared his love for her. She
realizes that she and Philip weren't meant to be. Brady (who spent the
better part of the morning trying to convince John, and himself, that he
and Chloe are just friends) runs up as Chloe struggles to control her
emotions. He's concerned because Belle and Shawn told him that Chloe was
upset. Chloe turns to Brady and tells him that she can't go out with him
tonight.
Meanwhile, Belle and Shawn are wrapped up in each other. They spend the
day at the park enjoying the first snowfall. They aren't the only couple
who find the glistening of the snow romantic; Sami and Austin are there
as well. Sami is thrilled when Austin tells her that he believes they
can have a future together because Sami isn't the conniving person she
once was. Austin surprises Sami by telling her it's time they picked out
a ring. Will Sami's dreams finally come true?

herself. Barb plans on living the high life, at Lexie's expense! Barb
once again interrupts an argument between Lexie and Abe to deliver

has been pumping her for information about the DiMera factory in
Ireland. Bo, knowing that he pushed Elizabeth too hard, goes to John for
help. John is leery to give it after he has a disturbing memory from his
time as Stefano's mercenary.
