Max trails Jeremy and Ilsa to a hotel corridor. Max looks on as Jeremy chastises Ilsa. Max reveals himself and asks what their connection is. Ilsa tells Max to mind his own business and moves off.

Max confronts the drunk guy, who reveals that Ilsa is a prostitute, and Max demands the number of her escort service. Chelsea tells Stephanie that Jeremy cheated on her, informing her about Max finding Jeremy with a girl at Bo's house. Stephanie lashes out at Chelsea. Stephanie confronts Jeremy about his one-night stand. Belle doesn't give an answer to Shawn's proposal right away. Belle questions if they are ready, gently suggesting that his proposal has more to do with Philip than anything else. Shawn denies, patiently telling Belle that it's okay if she's not ready. Belle asks Shawn why he lied about flying to Cleveland, asking where he actually went. Shawn claims he just drove around Salem. Belle accepts his explanation, and then also accepts his proposal. Shawn is ecstatic as he slips on the ring, but Belle's feelings are a bit more enigmatic. Steve tends bar at the Brady pub as Kayla walks in, glowing after spending time with Ciara.
