It's Election Day in Salem and the media is predicting Abe's going to win by a landslide. Lexie and Abe converge at the Brady Pub where they will wait to hear election results.

Tony strikes back saying if he was involved with the mayor's demise, it will cost Abe this election and his political career. Meanwhile at the pub, Lexie finally confesses to Abe that she thinks Stefano killed Marino because of her. Abe and Roman pay the old man a visit.
