Episode#180

-Steve looks at Bo in silence, and says he understands, and she has done a lot more to him than she did to himself. Bo slowly nods, and says they should probably go get some rest. Steve tells Bo he’ll be back at the hotel in a little bit, and Bo says alright and leaves. As Bo walks off, he continues to think about Gina’s death. Steve then heads for the Italian hospital!

-Marlena yells “What is that?!” and Shane warns it could be a trick, but he’ll go in and check. Roman says not without him, and Marlena follows as well. They all rush inside and past the foyer, and into where the smoke was coming from. However when they walk in, all they see is a smoke bomb and the door shuts suddenly and locks!

-Hope continues to breath heavily, and says “No, I can’t…but I can’t go to jail, I must raise my daught-I…don’t know what to do…” and she continues to cry, but unknown to her the hand of Alice touches her shoulder…

-Anna yells out as her arm is cut, and she lies on the ground and asks “Tony” what he’s doing as she winces from the pain. “Tony” simply says coldly:

“Tony”: What is done must be done.

“Tony” just runs off after Helena, while Anna screams in pain and tears run down her cheeks…

*Life in Salem Opening*

-Steve walks into the Italian hospital, and looks at the directions on the wall and heads straight for the morgue. Slowly he walks in, and stares at Gina’s body lying on a slab…

-Marlena turns in shock and runs to the door, and bangs on it, and confirms what has happened saying “We’re locked in!”, and Shane tells them all to stay where they are, and Roman says Stefano has one-upped them yet again, and suddenly Stefano’s voice is heard from the ceiling:

Stefano’s Voice: I know you are here, Roman. And if you are here then of course Marlena would be as well, since you to cling to each other like glue. And Shane Donovan and his ISA posse are somewhere in the room no doubt, and maybe even some other guests like Bo and Hope. However I am mainly speaking to you two, especially you, Roman. If you are hearing this, then I have made my escape from my palace and not to mention this whole continent. You will be able to escape, I don’t intend for you to be trapped in here. You can find where I have gone next inside my secret office deep in the palace, but be prepared, Roman. And this place, is where I will take care of Helena and the rest of you fools.

Roman yells in anger and charges at the door, and slams it open…

-Hope slowly begins to calm down, as the tears go away and she tries to get a grip of herself. She slowly stands and goes to the door to try to take a walk to think about things, but opens it to see Bo!

-Anna continues to yell in pain, and calls for someone to help her! Suddenly Allan and Hattie, trying to catch up to Anna, find her and Allan’s eyes widen in shock as they both run up to help her. As they stand her up, Anna slowly says:

Anna: Tony…something’s wrong with him…he…stabbed me…

Hattie blurts “What the hell?” and looks to Allan in shock.

-Helena smirks as she runs through a street and yells to “Tony” he is pathetic just like his father, but suddenly she bumps right into…STEFANO! She gasps in shock and stumbles backwards, but “Tony” is behind her. “Tony” grins evilly, and Stefano growls to her in a low tone:

Stefano: NEVER underestimate the DiMeras, Mrs.Cassadine.

Stefano takes out a needle and grabs Helena’s arm forcefully, and injects a drug into it. Slowly she falls unconscious, and “Tony” grabs her and both head off with Helena in tow!

-Steve runs his hands over Gina’s hair, and says to the corpse:

Steve: You, Britta, you were very unique to me, not to mention everyone else. But you and I…we were very special to each other. But no, I don’t love you. Not like Kayla…she’s my Sweetness, and you needed to accept that…and I wish you had…before you died…

Steve sighs and sits in silence, but continues

Steve: You pulled a lot of horrible stunts, and you’re lucky even I cared for you in the smallest way. You just never learned, and there were so many times I wanted to kill you myself. But I’m not sure if I could do it, which is maybe why I saved you from falling from that rooftop. You haven’t done to me what you have done to Bo and Hope. But even after I saved you it seemed you kept trying to pull stunts. I hope you know you brought this on yourself…but still, I do care. I lost an eye for you, and we had something deep that can never go away. But…now that you are gone and hopefully this can all finally be over…I can be done with you. I was enraged when I found out you died…but now, just talking to some dead body helps. So RIP, Britta, my lover, and, my friend.

Steve leans down and kisses Gina’s cheek, before walking out of the morgue, giving one last glance at Gina…

-Roman storms through the halls of the DiMera Palace with Marlena and Shane following, and Roman angrily keeps muttering “Bastard. That BASTARD.” and Marlena tells him to calm down, but Roman says he can’t just yet. He constantly shoves things over looking for the entrance into Stefano’s secret room, and continues to run through the halls as Marlena sighs. Suddenly, all three spot a place where the wall is slightly ajar!

-Hope looks at Bo in shock and shakily says “B…Bo…” and he asks her what’s wrong. She lies and says nothing, and thinks to herself she’s not ready to tell him. Bo then tells her he’s got some news, and she asks what it is. He then says “Gina died in the hospital.”

- “Tony” is out of sight, and Allan tells Anna they have to get her bandaged up, and she tells him they have to find Tony! He shakes his head and he and Hattie carry Anna off, and she thinks to herself “Oh Tony, what is wrong with you?”

-Marlena continues to tell Roman to calm down, but he busts into Stefano’s secret office! He sees in the center of the desk, a small note rolled up like a scroll. He walks over to it, and quickly opens it and reads its’ contents, and Marlena asks what it says. Roman narrows his eyes and says “No…he’s playing more of his damn games…” and turns to Marlena and Shane.

-In a DiMera Jet, Stefano and “Tony” sit as the jet flies out of Italy, and Helena lies on a bed unconscious in another room. Stefano smirks as he pours some champagne, and says to his son:

Stefano: Onward to victory…
