Episode #225 - Friday, October 20th, 2006:

- Halloween night has arrived in Salem. The city is emersed in a deep fog, the wind whistles, and leaves bristle. The streets are filled with people of all ages wearing their Halloween costumes.

- Carrie loses it and goes berserk. She jumps on Alan and begins pounding him and scratching and slapping him. Austin and Roman remove her from him. Carrie accuses Alan of stealing her baby! Alan swears he did everything else, but he had nothing to do with stealing Carrie and Austin’s baby boy.

- A traumatized and catatonic Celeste is moved into bed by the nurse on call. Celeste sleeps with her eyes wide open.

- Carrie tells Alan that he is worthless piece of scum and she doesn’t believe a word he says. Carrie says that she is going to make Alan pay for hurting her and her baby like this. Austin warns Alan that if he had anything to do with this, that he, too, will make Alan pay.

- Sami and Lucas tell Austin and Carrie to get in line because if anyone is getting revenge on Alan, it’s them! They say that he took their little boy’s innocence, and now, they’re going to take his life.

- Roman takes Alan to jail where he is booked. At the apartment, Eric, Carrie, Austin, Sami, Lucas, and Alan discuss their hate for Alan and their need for revenge. Sami and Lucas tell Will that they will get through this as a family. Lucas and Sami urge Will to go to bed for the evening. And he does.

- Celeste's eyes go white. She tosses and turns in her bed.

- Sami , Lucas, Eric, Austin, and Carrie all agree to let the law do its job. Austin tells Carrie that if Alan stole their baby, her father will figure it out and prosecute him to the fullest extent of the law.

- Roman is disappointed and angered when the judge grants Alan bail. Roman informs those at Sami’s apartment that Alan has been granted bail and that his parents are wiring money to get him out of jail tonight.

- Celeste shoots up in her bed. Her eyes are still all white. The wind whistles outside and knocks some debris against her hospital window. She stares out the window in her catatonic state.

- Sami, Lucas, Eric, Austin, and Carrie all sleep in separate beds. They toss and turn. Alan has a nightmare about his attacker taking off a mask, revealing his face as Alan’s, and bragging that he raped his mother. Will wakes up in a sweat. He gets dressed and sneaks out the window. Sami, Lucas, Eric, Austin, and Carrie all sneak out of their bedrooms.

- Celeste walks to her window to see what the noise on her window is. She finds nothing. There is frost on her window. She writes something on the window with her finger and returns to bed. When she gets into bed, the nurse enters. She drops the food tray as she looks at the window. The window reads......."DEATH."

- Meanwhile, Alan is released on bail and walks the streets of Salem as a free man.

- On the dock, a college-aged couple is walking along the docks late at night. They are drunk and stop to hook up on the docks. Suddenly, they hear arguing. It grows louder and louder and louder. The couple turns the corner and peers over the crates that are on the dock. They see a man arguing and screaming at someone they cannot see. They turn to leave the heated argument, but three gunshots ring out. And there is a splash. They hear footsteps running away. The couple runs to the scene of the crime. They see a man floating in the water. It’s the same man they arguing seconds earlier. The tide turns the man over…..to reveal the bloody and mangled face of ALAN HARRIS!
