Episode#198

-At the Alamain Mansion, after seeing the news report on Roman and Stefano, Vivian flashes back to being Stefano’s wife and she says to herself if Stefano dies, and she’s in his will…she can get something out of this!

-Shane then says so it looks like Stefano won’t be waking up soon anytime either, and the doctor nods and goes on to explain Stefano barely survived, and while he may be stable, he looks pretty bad…the coma might not be irreversible, but it is a deep coma for sure. Marlena then snaps:

Marlena: The man deserves it after all of what he has put this town and Lord knows who else through, especially Roman and me!

Woman’s voice: Well you would be just the one to say that about my father, wouldn’t you Marlena?

Marlena looks to the door of the waiting room in shock, to see Kristen Blake standing there!

*Life in Salem Opening*

-At the Horton House, Julie and Abby, Jeremy, and Nick are putting together the Christmas Tree and Nick asks why they don’t hang the ornaments when they first put the tree up. Julie says because it is a Horton tradition to always hang the ornaments on Christmas Day, and now that Alice has passed it is even more crucial to continue that tradition. Suddenly the phone rings, and Julie goes and picks it up and says:

Julie: Hello-DAVID?!

-Vivian quickly says to herself she needs to go to the hospital now, and rushes out the door of the Alamain Mansion. She whispers to herself “Soon Vivian Alamain will be back and better than ever.”

-At the hospital the whole group turns and sees Kristen standing in the doorway, and as she walks in Marlena furiously asks why she isn’t in jail, and Kristen says she has served the several months she was sentenced to, and Marlena screams in anger. Bo tries to hold Marlena back as Kristen looks at Tony, and then says:

Kristen: Tony…is that…you?

-Nick and Jeremy look at Abby in confusion and Jeremy whispers “Who’s David?” and Abby replies she *thinks* its Julie’s son. Nick and Jeremy nearly gasp in shock as Julie says:

Julie: David…David…oh David it is so good to hear your voice…I’ve barely seen you lately…the last time we really talked was Alice’s funeral and it was brief-wait you are returning to town? When?! Christmas?! That’s such a short time away…oh David I can’t wait!

-Kristen looks at Tony in shock and says she has heard rumors about his return to town and it was their cousin in Aremid but she didn’t know it was true…and Anna realizes who Kristen is and sees Tony’s confusion as he stares at Kristen, and Anna snaps for Kristen to focus on the matter at hand. Kristen raises an eyebrow but Marlena breaks free of Bo’s grasp and grabs Kristen’s arm and tells Kristen to get out, but Kristen coldly says:

Kristen: No, not a chance. I am in Salem to stay, and you can’t do a thing about it. While my poor father lies in there and can’t do a thing, I will take care of him. And, if I can get to him, John as well.

Marlena: WHEN HELL FREEZES OVER!

Marlena then attacks Kristen!
