Episode#271: The Plan Commences

-At the Spears Mansion, everyone is just getting up and around…and as Lucas walks through the living room, he is STUNNED when he discovers a note from “Jan” on the coffee table!

-Robin and Laura continue to face-off over Mike and Jeremy, and Laura tells Robin that she just needs to go back to Israel! Robin asks how Laura, a woman who she’s barely met, can tell her to go back to Israel when she’s barely been back in Salem for a week! Laura says that she’s seen how Robin’s been acting, and it’d just be better if she wasn’t in Salem, and both of them turn when they see Jeremy enter!

-Belle is out shopping, still mourning her mother and trying to keep her mind off of it. While shopping, she runs into Nicholas!

-Celeste asks Victor who this is, and Kate says she was just wondering that herself. Victor asks if Celeste and Kate would excuse him, and both oddly leave, and Victor engages in a heated discussion with Dorian. He asks her what the hell she is doing in Salem, and Dorian simply asks if she can’t visit her ex-lover once in awhile!

-At the DiMera Mansion, Stefano constantly worries now that Marlena is dead. When Vivian walks into his office, he looks at her and tells her that he must kick his plans into high gear now, and the Phoenix must rise! Vivian asks if he’s sure now, and Stefano says:

Stefano: Yes, my dear, now

-Lucas is shocked and dismayed at the note Jan left him! Will comes downstairs and asks Lucas whats wrong, and Lucas informs him that Jan’s left town…and shows him the note! Will is shocked and says that he always found Jan odd, and Lucas is devastated, feeling like she ran out on him, and he finds comfort in his son, as Greta watches in joy from the window.

-Belle is uncomfortable when she runs into Nicholas, and quickly tells him she needs to go. Nicholas stops her and tells her they need to talk, and he’s sorry about her mother, but Belle tells him they have nothing to talk about, and she just can’t do this now, and Belle runs off.

-Victor and Dorian mysteriously argue, with Victor stating how Dorian has not come in contact with him in years and why of all times now, but Dorian affirms to him that she’s here and here to stay!

-Vivian and Stefano begin talking about their plan, and Vivian asks Stefano if they really can do it now. Stefano says that they must, after the death of his Queen of the Night, he’s not holding back any longer!

-Robin and Laura try to calm down when Jeremy enters, but Jeremy blasts them both for arguing, and asks if he can’t enjoy having his mother back in his life, and also asks if they can’t just forget about Mike and Alexis. Laura tries to argue with Jeremy but he won’t have it, and finally she gives up, but tells Robin that she’s keeping her eye on her, which leads to Jeremy asking Laura how long she’s staying in town, and Laura responds possibly a very long time! This thrills Jeremy but unsettles Robin.

-Vivian and Stefano are at an unknown location…and Stefano slowly comes out from behind a curtain and says that all is well…and its time, they just need several hours to prepare. Vivian nods, and they both set off…
