Caroline, Victor, Eric and everyone else rush over to help Shawn SR who is in alot of pain and then loses consiousness. Caroline begs her husband to survive-she can't lose him too.

-Meanwhile, outside, Maggie and Alice's mystery assailant wearing the Salem Stalker mask is walking down an alley. The mask is taken off...IT'S MARLENA!! "It's good to be back in Salem," she says with an evil laugh. "Like Celeste said, death has come to Salem and is not finished yet and it is all in the form of me. They all deserve to drop like flies and meet their maker for what they did to me. Too bad Mickey got in the way. It wasn't quite his turn yet but no matter. Morgan Island, Mickey, and Alice were just the beginning of all the hell and destruction I have in store for all of my so-called friends in Salem. When I am through with them, they will all pay!!!!" Marlena then laughs hysterically as the screen fades to black.
