1/6/06 (sorry for this being late-I will be on time the rest of the week as the episodes will be shorter now that things have calmed down. Enjoy!!!

-Carrie, Austin, Sami, Lucas, Alice, Doug, Julie, Jennifer, Frankie, Max, Abby, Bo, Hope, Caroline, Roman, Bonnie, Mimi, Shawn, and Belle all watch as the doctors prepare to deliver the grim news to Marlena and Maggie. The doctors look at both women and say that one of their husbands is gone and the other has slipped into a coma. They look at Maggie and say that they are sorry. The injuries and head trauma were just too much for her husband. He is gone. Maggie breaks down in Marlena’s arms as she holds her. Alice crumbles into Julie’s arms in tears. Caroline gives her sympathies to Maggie as both women regret sending their husbands out into the storm. Marlena asks the doctor if John will come out of his coma. He tells her that John is very critical and that his wound was infected. They are running some tests to see how far the infection has spread and if amputation of limbs may be necessary. Marlena begins to tear up but realizing what is happening with Maggie and Caroline she is grateful. She hugs both women and comforts them. Everyone in the room mourns Mickey and Shawn Sr and recall memories of them. We see flashbacks of Mickey, Alice, and Tom. We then see Mickey and Maggie flashbacks of him being with her during her surgery, their wedding, both of them with Sarah and Melissa, and their recent wedding and reunion. Maggie cries saying that Mickey and her just got another chance and now its gone. She blames Tony for taking time from them, as does Caroline and many others. Bonnie then approaches in tears and takes Maggie’s hand. She apologizes to Maggie for keeping her and Mickey separated. She says that she did love him and that he was the only man who ever cared for her. Roman sees this and is touched. Maggie tells Bonnie that despite their differences she knows that Mickey did care for her and that he saw something special in Bonnie that no one else did. They hug. The Horton’s and Brady’s and others all band together to pray for the souls of all those who died and for John’s recovery. Everyone marvels at Alice’s strength over losing her son but she claims that he is with Tom now and that both of them, along with Shawn Sr and others, are looking down on them now. Maggie and Caroline are told they can now say goodbye to their husbands. Marlena goes and sees John with Belle. The Horton’s go in and see Mickey’s body and all of then band together and comfort each other. Doug, Julie, Shawn, Bo, Hope, Lucas, Abby, Jen, Frankie, Alice, and Maggie all say goodbye to him. Maggie then notices Bonnie and invites her in to see Mickey one last time. Bonnie kisses him and thanks him for everything. Caroline, Bo, Roman, Hope, Sami, Carrie, Marlena, and Shawn all say goodbye to Shawn Sr. Roman continues to bottle up his feelings as Bonnie tells him to let it out. He says he is fine and has a lot to do and tells Bonnie to back off. Bonnie tells Bo that she is worried about Roman as Bo says he is too. Sami asks Bo if there is anything new about Will. Bo says when him or Roman learn anything she will know. Sami gets upset as Lucas comforts her along with Austin. Lucas gets jealous again. Marlena then holds both Carrie and Sami as they say goodbye to Shawn Sr. Marlena thanks him for being a good father in law and that she always felt like he was her own father. Bo cried on Shawn Sr.’s body saying that he will always be his father and that he will learn how all this happened. Caroline says goodbye and whispers to him an apology for not telling him about Bo being Victor’s son and admits her recent infidelity with Victor to him. She breaks down on his body as Bo pulls her off and everyone leaves. The Horton’s and Brady’s and everyone else all meet in the chapel to hope and pray for John and the dead. A wind blows through and the candles go out. Everyone takes this to be a sign that those that died are still with them and that they are looking down on them. Maggie then goes outside. Julie says she will call the family and let them all know. Maggie agrees but says she will call Melissa and Sarah. Alice walks up and holds Maggie. She tells her none of this was her fault and that it was just meant to be. Mickey loved her and wouldn’t want her to blame herself. Maggie does though since the party was her idea and she sent both men out. Caroline said she did the same too but its not no one’s fault. The storm was bad and it was meant to be. Maggie still blames herself as everyone looks on worried about her. She calls Melissa and Sarah and tells them about Mickey. Caroline calls Kayla and Kimberly and tells them about Shawn Sr.

-Bonnie tries again to get through to Roman but fails. He tells her to leave him alone. Mimi tells her to back off but Bonnie says that she can’t. They both need to comfort each other right now since they are both in pain from losing people they care about. Mimi leaves as Bonnie says that she cares too much about Roman to see him do this to himself.

-Roman joins Bo and Hope. Hope tells Roman that Bo just got a call from some units at the scene of the accident. Bo hangs up the phone with a stunned look on his face. He says that a car was found in a ravine. It must have crashed and caught fire and it was apparently the car that started the accident and was speeding, according to witnesses and the officers giving chase. No bodies were found in the car but since it exploded remains are being looked for and they found a luggage tag and women’s necklace. Bo says that the tag belonged to Patrick Lockhart and the necklace belonged to Chelsea. The remains of the car also match with the car they took to Green Mountain. Hope comforts Bo as Bo believes that there is no way they could’ve survived. Bonnie overhears and runs off in tears as Roman follows her. He finds her crying in the stairwell. She looks at him and he apologizes to her for her loss. She runs into his arms and he holds her as she cries in his arms. Hope can’t believe they are gone as Bo blames Patrick for taking her up there. Hope disagrees and then stops and realizes that this means Chelsea started the whole wreck due to her recklessness. She asks Bo again if she was speeding. Bo says that she was and that the cops chased her for a good 10 miles and she didn’t pull over. Hope lashes out at Bo and says that all the deaths and tragedy is Chelsea’s fault. Her recklessness killed Patrick, Tek, Mickey, Shawn Sr, and several others and injured many. Bo realizes this too and tries to make up excuses for her. Hope then lashes out and blames Bo for always excusing her behavior and she blames Billie for this too. She asks him if he is happy now-his daughter has destroyed lives and nothing can make things the way they were. Bo gets upset and fires back that Hope is the one that pushed along with Billie for Chelsea to go with Patrick to Green Mountain so she is too blame too. They start arguing back and forth as Hope says that once again Bo has sides with his brat of a daughter. Bo asks her if she is seriously blaming Chelsea for starting the accident and she says she is since it was Chelsea’s speeding and reckless behavior that caused it all. Bo blames her again citing the fact that she advocated hard for Chelsea to go with Patrick on the trip. Hope says she would have went anyway because Billie or him would have gave in like usual because Chelsea always gets her way and always has things done her way and this time all that came at the expense of lives. Jen, Frankie, Max and Abby hear this and learn what is going on. Max and Abby comfort each other and can’t believe Chelsea and Patrick may be dead. Jen and Frankie do the same and urge Bo and Hope to calm down. No one is too blame since the conditions were also bad for driving and you just can’t deal in “what ifs.” Bo and Hope look at each other painfully, both still hurting from what was said and Bo walks off. Hope cries on Jen’s shoulder and Frankie goes after Bo.

-Marlena and Belle visit John. They both pray for his recovery. Belle goes off to let Brady know what is going on and to check on Claire. Marlena holds John’s hand and has a memory flash of being in the Paris hospital with him after he was shot in the coronation massacre. She tells John that he needs to make it so that he can help her get her memories back of him. She needs him and even though she doesn’t remember their time together she can feel the love and connection right now. She tells him that Alex is gone now and that he just needs to wake up and then they can work together to get back her memories of him and get back their life together. She lays on top of him and cries, begging for him to fight to get through this.

-Belle goes to check on Claire after calling Brady and finds Shawn and Mimi there. Mimi leaves after Shawn asks to talk to Belle alone. Mimi almost faints again in the hallway and decides that she will make a doctor’s appointment in the morning to see what is going on. She continues to worry about losing Shawn and believes that is why she is feeling ill of late. Belle and Shawn comfort each other and discuss the events of the night. They hope that Claire gets a miracle. Shawn says she has to because there has been too much loss already. He hugs her and leaves to check on his family. Mimi walks in and her and Belle talk. Mimi asks if everything is ok and Belle says that it is but they are worried about losing Claire. Mimi feels ill again as Belle asks what is wrong. Mimi says its just stress making her feel ill as Belle says she is just worried about losing Shawn now with everything that has happened. Mimi says that isn’t it but Belle sees through it and says that she still loves Shawn and that if he still wants her there isn’t anything standing in the way now. Mimi bring up Phillip but Belle says he won’t want her anymore and he has been hurt so much already. She says its Shawn’s choice and if he wants her it’s a go. She should have never married Phillip or stayed with him. Mimi agrees but says that Shawn loves her and that he isn’t gonna drop her just to go back to Belle. Belle looks at her and says that what her and Shawn have will never be the same as what she had with Shawn. They argue back and forth as Mimi accuses Belle of thinking she isn’t good enough for Shawn as Belle says that Mimi isn’t right for Shawn. They move into the hallway and argue some more. Belle says it makes no difference because she has Shawn’s baby and Mimi will never be able to give him biological children. Belle quickly apologizes for going that far but Mimi turns around and says that she will never forget her saying that. She is supposed to be her best friend. Belle apologizes as Mimi says that Belle is right but that she didn’t have to throw it in her face. Belle tries to comfort her and apologize further but Mimi starts breathing heavy and grabs her stomach. She then falls backward in pain as Belle catches her. Mimi loses consciousness as Belle begs her to wake up and yells for a doctor.

-Sami continues to call people in search of Will. She says she can’t lose her son after all the loss tonight as Austin comforts her and then holds Carrie saying they will find Will and that he will help them get over their grandpa’s death. Lucas sees this and is jealous because he should be comforting Sami since Will is their son and he wants people to sympathize with him too since he lost his uncle Mickey. He really seethes when Austin says that he will always think of Will as his son as Sami says that Will will always have a special bond with Austin. Lucas seethes with anger and goes back to the phones to call some more people to find out where Will is. Meanwhile. Will waits at the hospital and keeps remembering Chelsea’s burnt body and everything that has happened. He wonders who saved her and Patrick from the fire and where Patrick is. The doctor comes out and asks Will if he is family. He says he is technically but it’s a long story. The doctor tells Will that she will need extensive surgery to repair the damage and that her vocal cords were strained while screaming in pain after the fire. Her whole body needs skin graphing and extensive surgery. Will is horrified and tells the doctor that he don’t know how Chelsea can afford to pay for it. He asks about the family and remembering what Chelsea said about no one finding out he says she has no family. They are all gone. The doctor asks who he is and he says that he is her fiancee.

-A man wakes up in a chamber in a abandoned warehouse. Its Patrick. He bangs on the door wondering what is going on. A man, the same one who saved Patrick and Chelsea from the fire, walks up to the chamber. Patrick asks who he is. The man unmasks himself. Its Bart. Patrick asks what he is doing here. Bart says he saved his life because him and the boss weren’t finished with him yet. He asks about Chelsea. Bart says he was afraid to go back but he did. It’s a good thing he had fire gear though. He says that the girl was badly burned but he had to leave her there. Patrick yells at him for leaving her but Bart says he would have been caught by Sami’s teen brat Will who found her. Patrick insists that Bart find Chelsea and help her since the boss would want that. Bart thinks about and agrees to do so. He tells Patrick that the accident was the perfect setup for what is to come even though the boss didn’t plan on it. It makes things much better. Patrick asks to be let out but Bart refuses saying that they need him contained right now until they want to release him. Bart goes off to find and help Chelsea. Patrick worries about Chelsea, knowing full well other cars were in the accident. He worries she will be arrested. He says that the plan went too far and that he hurt her so much. That is why all this happened. He also says that he should have never got involved with the Dimeras but they had the goods on him and they will reveal all if he doesn’t obey. He needs to stay put for now and hope that Bart helps Chelsea. He tells himself that if he disobeys the Dimera’s would out him and what he did for another powerful man when he was younger. He can’t let that secret come out or the people who come after him then will be worse then the Dimeras and several people in Salem will put themselves in danger. He, along with all of them, would be killed, and many would suffer if they realized the huge plot he was a part of that affected many Salemites. A worried Patrick looks out through the bars of his prison as the screen fades to black.
