Episode#321: The Phoenix Has Fallen!

-Greta asks Lea what she means, and Lea says she just wonders if, with one of these women pregnant with a baby, if she really has to keep them down here…Greta snaps that her job is just to take care of Jan, no questions asked! Lea says she knows but, however Greta interrupts her and just commands her to do her job if she wants that money! Lea slowly nods as she leaves…

-Lucas and Eugenia walk back into the Spears Mansion, with Will and Destiny in wheelchairs and whatever wounds they had patched up…both of them stir and wake up slowly, and Will asks what happened, but Lucas tells them its nothing serious and to go back to sleep. After they do so, Lucas and Eugenia manage to get them both up to their rooms, where they rest after this crazy night…

-Sami tells Vivian she got her wish, her husband is dead! Sami tells Vivian its not like she’s mourning Stefano, he was never her favorite person…but all this chaos caused her son to die! Sami explains that Will and “some other girl” were in the other car that Stefano hit before he fell off the cliff, and Vivian asks if they are alright, and Sami says yes, thankfully! Vivian tells her then she has nothing to worry about…they both lived and are alive and well, and the Phoenix is D-E-A-D!

*Life in Salem Opening*

-Greta tells Jan and Nicole that its been a lovely evening…but she needs to get going…she’ll just leave them down here to sulk! As Greta leaves, Jan sighs, and says that they were SO close! Nicole tells Jan to calm down…they’ll be out eventually…because if they can get the upper hand on Greta like that again, or lay on the guilt with Lea like she started tonight, they’ll be out of here in no time!

-Eugenia and Lucas come back downstairs…and Lucas says he’s so so glad that Will is alright and he and Destiny were able to come home…but he can’t believe all this stuff involving Sami. Eugenia comforts him, and Lucas opens up to her, saying his life is spinning out of control…Jan is gone, his son has a child and could lose her, the mother of his son is a murderor and just escaped from jail…he says he doesn’t know how much more he can take! Eugenia continues to comfort him and give him positive words…and they kiss!

-Sami asks Vivian how she’s going to tell the rest of the DiMera’s that daddy dearest is dead, and she says tomorrow she’ll simply break it to them…it will all be fine. Sami says she can’t just expect them to take it all fine and dandy, they’ll probably know she did it! Vivian says that’s really none of her concern, she didd her job, and now Vivian will handle the DiMera’s! Sami then says:

Sami:Fine, you’re right…I did my part. Now its time for you to do yours.

-Jan says that they have been trying to get out of this hellhole for four months!!! She yells that if they haven’t gotten out now, they really never will! Nicole laughs and tells Jan that Shawn was being held captive by her for four or five months…but he escaped! Jan goes off into a daze as she thinks about Shawn…and says she wishes how her soul mate was here, holding her in his big, strong arms right now! Nicole groans and tells her to not start babbling about a dead man, but the point is, they WILL get out! Or at least, she won’t let Greta keep them down here forever!

-Eugenia pulls back from the kiss and tells him she’s so sorry, it was just instinct…Lucas is silent for a moment, and Eugenia says she should just go upstairs, but he stops her…telling her that…its alright…maybe its time to move on from Jan, because she’s not coming back! Lucas and Eugenia slowly lean in and kiss again…and Greta gasps and grins as she sees it from the window, in the rain!

-Vivian asks what she means, she’s out of jail…Sami says she wants some resources though…because she’s leaving Salem and will need some money, maybe a disguise. Vivian says she thought she didn’t want a new life…Sami says she doesn’t, but she has figured out she can’t prove that she’s innocent in Salem…she’s going to find Stan, or Nicole Walker or SOMETHING that can prove her innocent…no matter what it takes! Vivian shrugs and says fine…she gives Sami a check of $20,000 dollars…and a basic disguise: A wig, some make up, regular clothes, and other things to apply to herself…Sami thanks Vivian, and Vivian says it was a pleasure doing business with her as Sami leaves the DiMera Mansion.

-Back at the Spears Mansion, Lucas and Eugenia kiss as Greta watches…Lucas thinks to himself that he’s sorry Jan…but maybe he does need to start to forget about her…meanwhile, upstairs, Will and Destiny both lie in their respective beds after nearly losing their lives tonight…underneath the mansion, Jan feels her stomach as she thinks about Lucas, and Nicole continues to vow to get away from her psycho rival’s clutches. At the DiMera Mansion, as she leaves, Sami thinks to herself as she leaves that she’s sorry…she didn’t want to kill Stefano…but now, she can prove herself innocent…back inside, Vivian says that her good ole husband is dead…it was a nice marriage, but now she doesn’t have to worry about him killing her for her setting up Peter to die, and she can advance with her plans. She looks at a picture of him again, and tosses it in the trash as she says:

Vivian:The king is dead…but long live the queen.

There is a freeze frame on all of these people before the screen fades to black…
