In the middle of all this, they are all drawn into The War!

John/Marlena/EJ/Sami/Lucas/Alexis/Kate/Helena/Vivian/Forrest/Nicholas/Stefano/Tony/Anna/Abe/Lexie/Faux Roman/Hattie: John is going to be helping the Bradys through all of this drama, and wants to take Stefano down, but has to take a subtle approach at it, and he wants ALL the DiMera secrets to be revealed before Stefano is put away for good. As you can see he is accepting his identity, and will be right with his family this whole time. Marlena will try to be by John's side, but will continue to be angered at his slow approach to get Stefano, but eventually John gives in and decides to take on Stefano the good ole' fashion way. Marlena plans to take Stefano and Helena head on!. Lucas and Sami continue their romance, but EJ uses Alexis to try to break them apart!
