In it, Vivian confesses to breaking into the Dimera Mansion to find out the identity of Stefano and Kate’s daughter. She then reveals she heard someone screaming in the catacombs of the Dimera Basement…Marlena and John are both intrigued.

E.C. grows frustrated and pulls Andy into a kiss. Their lips peck. Andy shoves E.C. away asking what the heck is wrong with him. Andy says he is not gay. E.C. apologizes, worried his plan has backfired. He just prays Andy does not remember this in the morning. Then, suddenly, Andy pulls E.C. into a hot kiss.
• John breaks into the abandoned Dimera Mansion. He wears all black. He sneaks by the security cameras and delves into the catacombs. He searches catacomb and catacomb for whatever…whoever could be making those screams both Jan and Vivian heard. Suddenly, John makes a noise when he bumps into a rock. The noise echoes throughout the catacombs. Whoever is in the catacombs with John hears it…and begins screaming for help! John follows the screams. He shines the light on a face of the person making the screams……John cannot believe his eyes!
