Sami calls Carrie and after a little persuading, arranges to come over to Carrie's apartment. She asks about Carrie's boyfriend, Austin. At that moment Austin is down at the Pub asking Caroline what he should put into Carrie's entry essay for the Face of the Nineties competition. Later Sami goes on about how Roman and Marlena's love is an epic love story. Of course when Austin leaves the pub and Sami is coming in she bumps into Austin for the first time.
Austin sees an old college friend at Salem Place - friend's working at the Spectator now. Austin tell him he's working on the essay to enter Carrie in the Face of the '90s contest and that he needs someone to take the pictures. Since the friend's a photographer, why doesn't *he* give it a whirl...but the pics have to be taken secretly - Carrie doesn't know he's entered her. Sami runs headlong into Austin, and is totally smitten and unable to speak.
Carrie and Sami are at Carrie's apartment. Carrie's carrying on about how romantic the day with Austin was - window-shopping in the rain. She can't wait for Sami to meet him and invites Sami to dinner that night. Sami reminds Carrie it's Roman and Marlena's anniversary and she doesn't want them to have to miss another one. Carrie suggests they throw a party. After donning all Carrie's make up and sticking a bow in her hair making her look like Minnie Mouse, Sami heads out. Carrie isn't far behind as they go out and run around town. Sami runs into Austin once trying to find decorations and such for the last-minute party. Sami calls Kim to invite her to the party - almost being caught by Roman who says she looks...um....different. She runs into Jonah and invites him, then she and Carrie are back at the pub for hot cocoa. Jonah's comes in - he's bought a new jacket to go clubbing tonight. Sami says she thought he was going to the party for her parents. He says he is...the action in the clubs doesn't start until later. Sami says she knew that. She really did.
John and Marlena begin their affair on The Plane.
Marlena returns to the house, glad to see that the light's aren't on thinking nobody's home. Actually as she walks in she realizes she is right in the middle of a Surprise party for hers and Roman's anniversary, which Sami and Carrie have put together. Marlena's thrown for a *major* loop and stammers around, not sure how to deal with a celebration of her marriage after she just slept with John. Well wishes from the familiy have her near tears and desperately attempting to keep her composure, they all think it's the surprise. Let the guilt trip begin! She does a lot of head shaking and nodding as she looks like she could throw up. Sami asks if she forgot today was her anniversary Roman tells Sami to let her mama catch her breath. Caroline comes over and grabs Sami Roman tells Marlena she looks more surprised than he was when he walked in. Caroline, Sami, and Carrie bring out the cake iced with "Roman and Marlena 4 Ever". Sami tells Roman and Marlena that it's time for them to cut the first piece. They cut the cake - Roman helps a trembling Marlena and suggests they split one. He feeds her the first bite and asks how it is. She says it's really good. Roman tastes it and announces they now have someone who can cook in the family.
Marlena manages to get away for a split second and almost loses it. Partygoers call for a speech and Roman toasts his beautiful, loving, and ever faithful wife as who through their many years together has made him the happiest man in the world. She says she loves him - she just loves him so much.
Marlena tells Roman that she loves him and he says he knows she loves him. But she wants to make surehe knows how much and that he never forgets. Roman says he's reminded of that everytime he looks at her, everytime he touches her, he knows how much she loves him. They kiss as she fights back tears. He says he never thought he could love her more than he did on the day her married her, but tonight, he realizes that he loves her more everyday. She has made him one very lucky guy. With that, she lowers her head, virtually sobbing. Roman pulls her close and hugs her as we see John walking up to the front door.
John opens the door. It is several moments before her psychic connection kicks in and she moves her eyes to the door where he is peeking in. Roman feels her stiffen and pull away and asks if something is wrong. At the same time, several of the Brady clan see John at the door and pull him in. He tells them the plane was delayed because of the rain. Marlena pales as Sami tells him Carrie went out to the airport to find him.
John follows Marlena and she turns around to get the fright of her life as he is standing beside her. She asks him what he is doing there. He says she was so upset he was a little worried about her. He tells her he is sorry about walking into the party, he had no idea. She says neither did she, she was so wrapped up in her feelings for him she forgot it was her anniversary today. And then she came home and Roman was celebrating their marriage and He says it's okay. She says no it's not and he has to go. She escapes as Carrie and Sami accost John, wanting to know why he was leaving without telling them.
Carrie and Austin go to dinner and dancing at Wings.
Later Marlena runs into Sami who asks her if something is wrong because she looks terrible. Marlena tells her she hurt her feelings and Sami tells her that she has to look better for the benefit partytonight. She drags her off to the spa where they have a great motherdaughter afternoon. They come out, Mar looking gorgeous and Sami looking like a lioness with all that hair. They are giggling in Salem place when Marlena spies John and she quickly moves Sami off.
Carrie is going to the benefit, but without Austin. It's Valentines Day and they are going to surprise each other. Carrie calls Sami and asks her to getsome stuff together. Sami meets her outside of Wings but Carrie can'tget away so Sami has to take the stuff up to the apartment.
Sami went to Carrie's apartment to take the candles, CD player, and decorations over there for Carrie and Austin's romantic night out. On the way up, she gets stuck in the elevator with Austin. Sami's so smitten with that she forgets to ask his name again. Austin's all nice and sweet and calms Sami down and reads her palm and plays music. They finally get out. After the party, Carrie kicks Sami out comes in. Austin promises her when he gets the cast off, they're going to go to the mountains and finally be together.
Carrie dresses up as a barber to help Austin shave.
Meanwhile Roman heads over to Carrie's but finds her at Austin's among the shambles of his ruined apartment. It has been wrecked but they tell Roman it was just a robbery. They end up having a huge argument and Roman leaves. Austin leaves too and Roman sees him later on talking to Gus Bartoli. Back at the apartment Carrie calls Marlena and asks her to come over as it is urgent. Marlena says that she will. Carrie also calls someone else .
Marlena gets to the apartment and they talk about Roman and Austin until there is a knock at the door. Marlena asks Carrie if she was expecting someone else and Carrie says yes, she called John and asked him to come over.
John and Marlena talk to Carrie who tells them that Austin is being threatened by Gus who lost money because Austin threw the fight. Marlena is upset and wants Carrie to tell Roman. Carrie refuses and begs that they give the money to her so she can pay Gus off with what he lost. John says they can't give in to a man like that. He'll just come back for more. They tell her that they will help in anyway they can and she leaves.
Roman and John have one of their little spats over John being too intrusive in Carrie's life. Then Roman heads home where Marlena has set up a lovely romantic dinner for them. Roman thinks there must be a reason but Marlena asks if she can't just have dinner with him. They talk about Carrie and Roman tells Mar about how Carrie turned to John and says he can't help but feel a little jealous of John sometimes. Marlena says he has no reason to be jealous of him but Roman says when Carrie would rather go to John and he bids $100,000 for a dance with Roman's wife he can't help it. Marlena obviously shaken says she thought that they'd been through that. Roman says he knows but sometimes he can't help it.
Carrie and Austin decide to go to the Titan party and Sami has grabbed Caroline and Shawn's invite and is going with Jonah. Carrie is freaks out over "being" with Ausitn after Austin told her he went and had a blood test and was HIV negative.
Carrie tells Marlena that she is going away for the weekend with Austin. She seems to be not totally sure about the whole thing and tells Mar that she is afraid that she is not good enough for Austin. Marlena tells her that every young girl feels like that on her first time and that if she is just herself that will be good enough. She tells Carrie that no birth control is 100% effective and that she has to be aware of the risks and responsibilities of an unplanned pregnancy. Roman arrives home just in time to hear them agree that they don't have to tell him where Carrie is going. He and Carrie have a big fight and she leaves.
Austin gets accosted by Gus once again, but tears up the contract and gets into a scuffle with Gus and his lackey. John breaks it up and tells Austin that if he has any more trouble with Gus to come to him. Later Gus gets hold of some acid...if he is going down, then so is Austin. At the pub itself Carrie arrives to meet Austin and they head off to get ready for the party.
