Behind locked doors at the DiMera Mansion, Rex was looking over a box of items for his experiment when Shawn came unexpectedly. Shawn left for Dot.Com once he learned about Belle's appearance on the dating show. Instructing Eliana not to send anyone in unannounced, Rex continued to work with a computer chipboard and a timer set in a metal box.

Strained feelings between Cassie and Belle increased when Shawn arrived during the taping of "Love is Blind" at Dot.Com. Intrigued by their reactions, the producers let him stay. While Shawn said he loved her, Belle offered to forfeit the show if he was the mystery date, thinking he was afraid of competition.

Recognizing gear left outside Marlena's office, John interrupted a session with Ops (posing as "Mr. Smith"). Privately, Ops told John he was checking on Marlena's knowledge of John's activity in the ISA. Marlena later said she knew about John's ISA affiliation, assuring him she wouldn't interfere or compromise his security. But when John said he planned to use ISA connections to go after Tony, Marlena said she would deal with it when the time comes.

By the end of taping at Dot.Com, Shawn was entertained by the girls still fighting - oblivious they were being filmed. But when another co-ed approached Shawn, Belle told Mimi she wanted Shawn, wondering why she kept pushing him away.
