Episode #276 - Monday, January 1st, 2007:

• The Salemites scream and run for cover as the glass from the skylight shatters and falls into the main dining room of the Penthouse Grill. All of Salem reacts to Celeste’s bloody, lifeless body that rests before them.
• OPENING!
• Steve is confused as to why Kayla has just slapped him, but she runs off to care for Celeste.
• John tries to comfort Marlena who was the person closest to being directly under the skylight and thus the person closest to Celeste as she fell.
• Austin rushes out to the balcony to get Mike and catches Mike and Carrie in another compromising position. If he had arrived seconds earlier, he would have seen their midnight kiss. Austin tells Mike that he is needed in the dining room, and he rushes off to take care of Celeste. When alone, Carrie tells Austin that they are through - forever. She says his agreeing to be Sami’s attorney is the last straw.
• Jan cannot believe it when Cassie tells her Jeremy is the man who is the father of her baby, the man she needs Jan’s help in fooling. Jan tells Cassie not only does she refuse to go along with it, but she plans on telling Jeremy the truth! Cassie begs Jan not to do so because then Jeremy will tell his cousin, Abby, and Max!
• Bo, Roman, John, and Shane investigate the rooftop and find nothing. They realize this is the second crime of the copycat killer.
• Kayla and Mike realize Celeste has been stabbed. They begin to bandage her wounds and attempt to stop the bleeding. Kayla and Mike tell Bo that they have a pulse, and Celeste appears to be in a surprisingly decent condition, given the stabbing and the fall she took. But they say the ambulance must arrive soon if they are to save her life.
• Marlena has a vision of Kristen harassing her. Suddenly, Kristen multiplies. Multiple Kristens harass Marlena and get in her face, screaming and hackling. Marlena snaps out of it and realizes that she’s slowly losing her mind.
• Bo and Roman tell John that this person appears to be a Salem Serial Killer copycat…claiming the cunningness of the attacks and the sadistic nature are very similar. It is because of this, they say to John, that they feel they must question Marlena about the attacks on Celeste and Alice.
• Cassie tells Jan that she will never land Jeremy if he knows he is the father of Cassie’s baby. But Jan tells Cassie that telling him the truth will endear her to Jeremy. Jan tells Cassie to relish the last few seconds of her fantasy world she has built for herself. Cassie warns Jan not to do this! Cassie reminds Jan that they made an excellent team when they exposed Jan and that they can be that way again.
• Celeste is taken away to University Hospital. Mike tells Bo and Roman that the attacker stabbed Celeste in her vocal chords, but the gashes were not deep. Bo and Roman speculate that the copycat just wanted to keep Celeste from telling them his or her identity, but not kill her. Roman and Bo wonder if they are dealing with a Salem Serial Killer copycat at all…just then, Kayla tells Bo what she found in Celeste’s hand a - raven’s feather! Bo and Roman look at each other in shock.
• Jan bumps into her mother, Megan, and informs her about Jeremy and Cassie. She says she is going to expose Cassie’s secret. Megan blurts out that Jan cannot do that! Jan is confused and asks Megan why not. Megan is hesitant to tell her that she and Cassie must stick together since they are both cousins. Jan demands her mother tell her why she shouldn not expose Cassie! Megan tells Jan she just can’t! Jan tells her mother this is ridiculous! She says she is going to tell Jeremy the truth right now. Megan grabs Jan and throws her around: “Jan! You can’t!” YOU’RE A DIMERA!”
