Episode#196

-Some time later, Tony, Anna, and Shane all arrive at the hospital and Shane asks Marlena if there have been any changes in Roman and Stefano’s statuses, and Marlena shakes her head and says they went into surgery right when they got here but she knows no more than that. Tony sighs, and says after all that has happened he doesn’t know if he would want Stefano to live or not, and Marlena says she thinks most of them are like that.

*Life in Salem Opening*

-After the babysitter arrives to babysit Theo while Celeste goes to the hospital, Celeste quickly leaves the Carver house, and as she drives she thinks about her past with Stefano, and how she truly loved him once…but she was just another one of his lovers.

-At the hospital, Shane goes to get some coffee. However as he walks out of the waiting room, suddenly he runs into KIM! Shane’s eyes widen and he slowly says:

Shane: Kim…Kim…Kimberly…

-Sami comes back to the Salem Inn after leaving the airport, and as she walks towards her room, she notices where EJ once lived, and slowly walks over to the door to his room, but thinks to herself she’s not ready to go in, and see all of his things and items…it would be too painful…and for a moment she thinks about going to see Lucas, but decides against that as well. She simply goes inside her room, and sits down and stares at the wall in deep thought…

-Celeste arrives at the hospital, and marches in. Tony, Anna, and Marlena all see her walk into the waiting room, and she says she heard about Stefano and Roman on the news, and has come to see how they are doing. Marlena says no news on either of them yet, and Tony asks Celeste if Lexie is in town. Celeste responds not yet and that her and Abe’s plane got delayed out of Italy, and Tony nods. Tony says no matter how much he despises the man, all of Stefano’s children need to be here incase he doesn’t make it.

-Kim looks up at Shane, still in her wheelchair since she can’t walk, and says “Yes Shane, its me.” and Shane smiles and says he thought he would never see her again since it had been so long, and asks her why she’s in a wheelchair. Kim then says that shortly after she came back to Salem, she began to experience trouble walking and now has to be in a wheelchair, though she may regain her walking ability through therapy she just doesn’t know who to go to. Shane nods slowly, and asks how their children are. She says they are fine, just growing up. Shane tells Kim she looks so amazing…and Kim thanks him, and they both remember some of their times together many years ago.

-Sami continues to stare at the wall, and slowly begins to cry. She says she has lost so many men: Austin more than once, Brandon, Lucas, and now the best of them all EJ. She finally breaks down.

-Tony, Anna, Celeste, and Marlena all sit in the waiting room, and Celeste and Tony think about how Stefano might not make it, while Anna thinks to herself that the father of her daughter could die. Marlena continues to pray for Roman to live, and suddenly Kayla walks out of Roman’s hospital room, and says she has news on him…
