Episode#172

-Roman turns to Philip and says he may have saved his daughter, but he will still have to be arrested for kidnapping Belle, running from the law, and apparently stalking her. Philip snaps to Roman he’s not a cop anymore, he can’t arrest him, and his father will get him out of this. Belle snaps to Philip she IS pressing charges against him and Victor can’t do a damn thing about that. Roman gets several ISA agents over there and has them take Philip away.

-Gina is being dragged off by two ISA agents, and one of them is a woman. She looks and sees a gun in it’s holster on the male agent and slowly tries to slip her hand over to it, but he notices and squeezes her arm tightly and tells her to not even think about it. Gina smirks and quickly turns to the female agent and breaks free of her grasp and in the confusion manages to break free of the male’s grip and attack the female agent…and take her gun!!! Gina then takes off running!

-Shane finds the ISA agents that have EJ and tell them they need to get Wells out of there now before things end up erupting not only on the inside of the DiMera palace and they can’t risk losing EJ. EJ snaps to Shane he will get free, and Shane just motions for them to take EJ, but suddenly they all turn as they hear several more windows shatter due to gunfire in the DiMera palace. While they all are looking suddenly Sami comes over to them after she and Lucas leave the DiMera palace. Sami tells Shane she needs to talk to EJ privately, and Shane says he’s very dangerous and Sami says she doesn’t care. Shane gives in and says fine, and Sami takes the handcuffed EJ into an empty warehouse not far off.

-Helena looks at Lexie, and Lexie has anger and hate in her eyes. Stefano chuckles as he says he sees she has returned to his side, and Lexie says hell no. She says she’s sick of all this fighting and all this war. Helena angrily says there will be much more fighting now, and she will die after what she has done! Helena yells “You KILLED my GRANDSON! He was FINALLY beginning to form TRUE CASSADINE and YOU MURDERED HIM!” and Lexie then snaps that Helena’s done worse. Helena takes out her knife and attacks Lexie!

*Life in Salem Opening*

-Megan and Billie continue to catfight, and Billie grabs Megan by her collar and says she will never take Bo and Hope’s children! Megan asks Billie why she cares and she wanted Bo at one time, and Billie says she is over him and they have already lost enough as it is. Megan breaks free of Billie’s grasp but Billie grabs the back of Megan’s shirt and pulls her close and shoves her down, and Megan turns around in anger and shoves Billie back and slaps her, and Billie then shoves Megan against the wall of a building very hard, causing Megan to get knocked out.

-Roman and Marlena approach the DiMera Palace and see the foyer of the mansion is empty as the rest of the ISA agents and Stefano’s men have moved their battle deeper into the palace, and that many bodies lie scattered. Allan, Anna, and Hattie approach Roman and Marlena and Allan says that luckily the chaos has calmed down, and there’s nothing more they can do at this point. Roman says yes there is, and that they can find Stefano and get rid of him for good.

-Lucas is walking around outside the DiMera Palace and sees his mother’s body being wheeled out from the garden and his eyes widen in shock!

-Steve and Kayla, after escaping from the palace, are walking outside and see Gina running. Steve yells “BRITTA!” and chases off after her before Kayla can get a word in, so Kayla follows.

-Lexie prepares to fire at Helena but Abe rushes in and pulls her back, and Helena fails to get to Lexie in time. She slowly backs away as she stares at all three of them, and looks at her grandson’s body. She tells them they will ALL pay, and rushes off! Stefano laughs evilly and thanks Lexie, and Lexie says she wasn’t doing it for him. Stefano says “So you think” and Abe tells Stefano that he’s under arrest, Stefano backs up and says he doesn’t think so. Abe tries to take out his gun but suddenly, Stefano takes the chance to slip out! Lexie tries to fire in time but Stefano is too quick and darts down the halls!

-Anna separates from Allan, Hattie, Roman, and Marlena and finds “Tony” in the garden. She quickly walks over to him and asks where the hell he’s been, and “Tony” thinks to himself he has to rid himself of her. He tells her he found Kate Roberts dead, and Anna gasps in shock! She says that’s terrible and “Tony” goes on to tell her that Helena murdered her and he saw it, but it was too late. Anna stares in shock and says this whole situation is just so terrible, but also she can tell something is off with “Tony”.

-Billie goes off to try to find an ISA agent or officer to get Megan, but suddenly when she looks back she sees Megan is gone! She yells “Damn my stupidity!” and says she has to stop Megan.

-Steve and Kayla chase Gina into an abandoned apartment, and as they rush up a stairwell Steve yells for her to stop, while Kayla tries to call Bo. As Gina reaches the top she looks at Steve and says she loves him, but it would be best for him to leave now. With that she rushes to the rooftop but Steve follows!

-EJ asks Sami what she could possibly want, and Sami tells EJ she is setting him free! EJ yells “WHAT?!” in shock and she snaps to him to be quiet as she tries to get the handcuffs off of him. She says she may not totally support what he’s doing exactly, but she wants both Stefano and Helena to pay and EJ has good reason to do what he is trying to do. EJ grins to himself and thinks to himself all is falling into place.

-Stefano manages to get to one of the secret rooms in the DiMera palace after going through many secret halls, and he breaths in relief after he shuts the secret entrance, but suddenly HELENA turns around in a chair at the desk! Helena and Stefano exchange a death glare.
