Episode #285 - Friday, January 12th, 2007:

• Bo speaks to the copycat attacker who has called Bo. The person is talking to him through a voice distorter so he cannot recognize the voice. Bo asks the monster to tell him his identity. The deep, dark, distorted voice replies… “For your purposes, Detective Brady, you can call me ‘The Fury.’”
• OPENING!
• Andy tells Roman and Shane that if the copycat is following a pattern then the next victim is going to die of strangulation because the Salem Strangler is next on the list of Salem’s famous serial attackers.
• Max and Abby are shocked to learn that Cassie’s baby has died while Cassie is devastated beyond words. She breaks down and screams and cries as she grieves her baby.
• Simone realizes that Sami must have gotten baby Keith illegally or there would be no secrecy about the family. Simone flashes back to when Keith’s health was failing, and Sami would not have been so secretive about helping her find a bone marrow donor if she had gotten the baby through legitimate channels.
• Philip (Jay Kenneth Johnson) has a touching reunion with Kate and Victor. Victor surprises him with an unexpected visit from Claire! He explains that he asked Belle if he could spend some time with her, but he didn’t mention anything about Philip’s return. Kate, Victor, Philip, and Claire bond.
• Bo screams at the Fury and tells him/her that he knows he/she is working for Stefano! Bo says he knows Stefano is back in Salem and is behind these attacks. The Fury lets out a deep, dark, guttural laugh that chills Bo to his core. The Fury tells Bo that he could not be any more off the mark if he tried.
• When Max removes Abby from Cassie's hospital room, he tells her that he blames her for this because of her relentless harassment of Cassie. Abby wipes tears away and says that, although she did lash out at Cassie, she had reason to, claiming the only time Cassie ever cried “Wolf,” and meant it, was this time.
• Simone sits by baby Keith’s side after his surgery and prays. Rae tells her it appears the surgery is working, and Keith’s vitals are improving slightly.
• When Bo asks the Fury about the attack on Alice Horton, he/she responds that everyone in Salem is going to feel the pain and misery, and NO ONE will be spared!
• Philip asks Victor what the family emergency was that he asked him to come home for. Philip asks if all of his brothers and sisters are all right. Victor confesses to Philip that he lied about the family emergency just to get him back to town! Philip is confused, but Victor and Kate tell him that they want…and need him back in Salem where he belongs!
• Dr. Rae tells Cassie she lost her baby because of a very stressful pregnancy. Rae tells Cassie that she should have been warned by her first doctor that she needed to have a very delicate pregnancy. Cassie says she was warned and tried her best to have a stress-free pregnancy, but Abby ruined it by lashing out at her today. Rae corrects Cassie by telling her, although Abby’s outburst did not help, the baby died because of months upon months of stress not because of this single argument. Cassie recalls how she’s been scheming and plotting for months to break up Abby and Max and keep Jeremy from learning that he is father of the baby.
• Melissa cannot get over Frankie. The fact that he told her he is going to be with Greta romantically kills her inside. She replays him telling her in her head over and over and over again. Not being able to take it anymore, Melissa calls her sister, Sarah, and asks her to come home to Salem.
• Vivian arrives to be with Simone and the baby. A rare, motherly side of Vivian comes out as she comforts Ivan’s niece and her baby. Vivian asks Simone how she even got baby Keith and where she’s been all this time. Simone and Vivian go to the Hospital Cafeteria while Rae checks out the baby. Simone tells Vivian all about how she got the baby from two of her friends in Salem. But now, she is thinking that her the transaction might not have been legal. Simone breaks down in Vivian’s arms and tells her that she can’t lose Keith….she can’t lose the baby!
• Bo arrives at the Police Station while talking on the cell phone to the Fury. He motions for Roman and Shane to put a tap on his cell phone. The Fury tells him that if he keeps working on trying to trace the phone call, he’ll never be able to save the next victim, whom the Fury is looking at right now. Bo is terrified.
• Philip tells his parents that he will stay in Salem until Bo’s wedding in February, but after that, he won’t be making any more promises.
• Vivian asks Simone to tell her the name of these friends who gave her the baby. Vivian tells Simone that Salem is not that big so she might know the person, or the person’s family, anyway. Simone tells Vivian Annie Douglas’ name. Vivian says she does not know her. Simone then tells her the second name of the “friend” who gave her the baby. When Simone tells her it’s Sami Brady, Vivian’s eyes and mouth open wide.
• Andy arrives at the hospital to spend time with his grandmother Caroline as he has been doing every day since he came to Salem. He sits and prays at her side. Suddenly….Caroline wakes up!
• The Fury ask Bo why he is not curious as to who the next victim is. Bo calls the person a sick bastard and tells The Fury to stop teasing him. The Fury tells him it is another good person of Salem. Bo demands the Fury tell him right now. The Fury informs Bo that it is Salem’s Pretty Little Princess. The line goes dead. Bo calls out to Roman and Shane, asking them for where the call was traced. They realize the call was made from the payphone at the pier. When Shane and Roman ask Bo what the caller said, Bo says that The Fury warned he is about to attack Salem’s Princess! The three man speculate as to who this could be. After a few seconds, Bo realizes who the next victim is. Bo storms out of the police station trying to save her! Meanwhile, at the pier, The Fury dressed in all black stalks the next victim......GRETA! She stares out onto the open waters, daydreaming of Frankie no doubt. She turns around suddenly when she hears someone sneaking up behind her. The Fury, dressed all in black, comes face to face with Greta who lets out a blood curdling scream. Her eyes grow big as they meet the eyes of the Fury. The fury wraps its hands around Greta’s neck and begins squeezing the life out of Greta!
