The Bradys and the Hortons gather at Bo and Hope's house for a 4th of July celebration. Bo and Hope urge Lexie to visit Abe, especially now that he has his sight back. Lexie is afraid of hurting Abe again, and she flees before Abe's nephew, Jett, spots her. Chelsea wants to tell Jett that Danielle is cheating on him. An annoyed Nick informs her that Jett already has suspicions about Danielle's infidelity and tells Chelsea to stay out of it. Max brings expensive gifts for Ciara, prompting Bo to question where he got the money. Max reluctantly tells his brother about his side business with Jeremy, and Bo reminds him it's illegal. Max insists he'll bail if it starts to get too risky. At the Cheatin' Heart, Steve apologizes to Jeremy for the way he's treated him and suggests a family dinner in the future. Jeremy and Steph are surprised by Steve's turnaround, but privately, Steve still disapproves of his daughter's boyfriend. At the family bbq, Alice warns Jeremy not to get into trouble. Kayla returns to town from her medical conference and is reunited with Steve. She learns Grandpa Shawn isn't attending the party to avoid questions about Colleen, but she ultimately convinces her father to come. Having seen Belle and Philip at the beach earlier, Marlena confronts her daughter about her feelings for Philip. Belle insists they're just friends, but Marlena still worries. Shawn arrives at the family bbq, but doesn't tell Belle he ditched the interview and went to Indianapolis instead. Shawn makes arrangements with Max to manage the garage. Meanwhile, Philip gets a mysterious phone call, where he hears a baby's cry over the line. The Bradys, Hortons and their friends pose for a (large) family photo.
