Episode#315: Dead or Alive? -Greta walks back into the Secret Room…and Nicole and Jan ask what she’s doing back so soon, and she tells Jan that she’s here to tell her something…she saw something VERY very interesting up in the mansion above them…Jan anxiously asks what, and if Lucas is alright…Greta laughs and says he’s VERY VERY alright…especially in the arms of his new woman houseguest! -Steve continues to bang on the door of the house at that address he found at the pier…Shane tells him to just calm down, but Steve ignores him, despite his and Chris’s warnings against it. Steve continues to yell for someone to OPEN UP, and a woman does(Kristina Wagner)…she asks Steve who he is, and he says she doesn’t need to know his name, he’s looking for his wife, Kayla Brady Johnson! -At the hospital, Megan is seen lying on a hospital bed, unconscious…she slowly wakes up, and Dr. Stansville walks in…she tells Megan she has some news. -Bo and Kristen, lying in the bed, both look in shock at Hope as she stares at them both….completely horrified! Bo asks what she’s doing here, and she slowly says nothing…she’s sorry, she…she didn’t realize she was interrupting anything! Bo yells “FANCY FACE” but Hope shuts the door, and breaks down outside her and Bo’s bedroom! -Vivian looks at Sami in shock, who is holding a gun as Stefano falls over…Vivian says she wasn’t expecting her for a little while, but she arrived at the perfect time…Stefano was about to kill her! Sami is silent, as she looks down at Stefano’s body…she says that she killed Stefano…she actually killed Stefano DiMera! Larry runs in, and sees Sami holding the gun he stole at the prison as the riot happened, and Vivian tells them that they both did their jobs…Larry then says: Larry:Well…I did…don’t know about Miss Brady here, though, because that gun was full of blanks…Stefano’s still alive! *Life in Salem Opening* -Jan stops dead in her tracks, and asks Greta what the hell she’s talking about…Greta tells her that Lucas has obviously forgotten about her…he’s snuggling up to his new hoochie! Nicole snaps that she’s lying, but Greta only grins, and pulls out her phone and presses it up against the window of the Secret Room…and Jan gasps when she sees the picture of Eugenia and Lucas lying together! -The woman in the doorway asks who…and Steve angrily tells her not to play dumb, he KNOWS she’s here! Shane sighs and he steps in front of Steve, and says he’s from the ISA…a woman is missing and they believe she may be here, and Chris says he’s from the Salem PD and can back up Shane’s statement…the woman is silent for a moment and introduces herself as Rhonda Miller… -Megan asks what the news is, and if the operation was a success…Dr.Stansville sighs and nods, saying that the operation on both her and Jill was a COMPLETE success…and its too late to go back now! -Bo jumps up, and he says this shouldn’t have happened, and he has to go after Hope…outside, Hope runs off in tears, and back inside the bedroom Kristen says she understands…as Bo puts his clothes on and leaves, Kristen sighs and sheds a few tears herself… -Vivian scowls, but simply shrugs it off, and Sami breathes a sigh of relief…Vivian asks why she seems so relieved, she’s only going to have to kill him anyway…she says they have to be quick…before he wakes up and kills HER! Larry says the closeness of the blank must have knocked him out, and Vivian tells Sami this is her chance…to kill Stefano DiMera, once and for all! However, suddenly…STEFANO STANDS UP! -Jan tells Greta no…Lucas loves her, he wouldn’t go to another woman…Greta says Lucas thinks she’s been gone for months, he’s moving on with his life! Jan screams no, no, no….this is IMPOSSIBLE! -Steve tells this Rhonda that he wants IN her house, he knows his wife is in there, and he’s gonna find her! Chris tells Rhonda that they will need to search her house, but Rhonda yells they don’t even have a warrant or evidence, this is ridiculous! Steve’s anger is high, and he SHOVES his way past Rhonda and into the large house! -Megan grins and says excellent…the plan is in motion…Dr.Stansville says that she is going to have to monitor both her and Jill, because this was difficult as it was and they have to make sure Jill is alright more than anything…Megan nods, and says whatever it takes…Dr.Stansville sighs and says this is crazy, but Megan tells her to just do her job. Megan asks how “it” is doing, and Dr.Stansville says: Dr.Stansville:Well…we checked up on Jill….and you’re baby is just fine…again, the operation went well…we moved the baby from your stomach into Jill’s and that was that! -Hope runs out into the pouring rain, in tears. She thinks to herself she was so stupid to ever come back here…she should’ve known Bo moved on by now! Hope continues to run as Bo runs out of their house, yelling for Hope…back in the house, Kristen slowly gets her clothes on….thinking how it felt so right…but she never should have done it, Bo’s a married man, and he and Hope have true love, she’s not like Megan is…. -Sami, Vivian, and Larry are all shocked to see Stefano just stand up! Stefano calls them all fools…the blank never even phased him, he just fell to see what Vivian was up to…and now he gets it! Vivian set up his son’s death, and now she hired Sami Brady to kill him and somehow involved Larry Welch! He tells Vivian she’s wise and cunning, but not as much as he is! He says that now he can kill his traitorous wife AND the woman that killed his Queen of the Night, not to mention take out another ass in the process! All three back away from Stefano and Vivian tries to plea with him, but to no avail…Sami is very nervous, as she knows this may be the end for her and Vivian and Larry…so out of instinct, she suddenly runs…grabs the knife Vivian had, and runs at Stefano with it! -Steve runs through Rhonda’s house as she screams for security and for him to stop, and Chris and Shane run after Steve, trying to stop him, but Steve just keeps running, searching many rooms for his wife…soon enough, he walks into one room…and sees a PIT there, and sees KAYLA lying down there! Steve then yells “SWEETNESS!!!!!” -Sami tries to stab Stefano, but he turns around, and SHOVES her backwards, saying she’s so amateur…he doesn’t see how she killed Marlena! Sami, VERY angry, screams that she DIDN’T, and she runs at Stefano again, but he dodges her! Stefano darts out of the room, thinking to himself that he’ll take care of them all, but first he’ll lead them on a little goose chase…Vivian orders Sami to go AFTER him and actually KILL him, and Sami follows Stefano…

Episode#314: Getting to the DiMera Mansion -In the Secret Room, Lea packs all her supplies up after checking up on Jan and the baby. Greta asks her how everything seems with Jan’s little bundle of joy, and Lea says she’s unsure, but the baby is alive and doing alright…however, she tells Greta that she may need to improve how and what she feeds Jan…and also, the baby may be in danger due to a lot of stress and perhaps a lack of care. Jan exclaims that she WOULD care for her baby, but she’s stuck down here! Nicole sighs as she watches all of this, and Greta simply thanks Lea and says she’ll escort her out… -Down at the Salem police station, Julie and Hope are seen inside a room…and are seen getting into regular clothes, and Ji’Min and Judge Fitzpatrick are there….they seem to be discussing something, and suddenly Hope thanks Ji’Min…for getting her and Julie out of jail at long last! -Bo and Kristen are still in Bo’s bed at his house…they continue to make very passionate love….Bo says to Kristen he has a wife, and this is wrong….but then Kristen tells him it feels so right… -At the Spears Mansion, Lucas and Eugenia continue to talk, and Eugenia assures him she’ll keep his mind off of Jan for at least tonight. Will and Destiny come downstairs, both of them dressed very nicely…Lucas congratulates them as Eugenia smiles, and Will assures his father its only something to just relieve some stress, nothing serious. Destiny slowly nods, and after some talking, they set off! -Steve is stunned to see Shane Donovan standing before him…along with Kayla’s sister, Kim Brady(Patsy Pease)! Shane tells Chris that he is from the ISA, and he can authorize them to go to this place where Kayla may be…they inform Steve that they were on their way back to Salem when they heard about the switch between him and Stefan, they wanted to get here immediately…and they happened to be walking in here when they heard all about the situation with Kayla! Kim then says that there’s no time to waste, they can all catch up later after they find her sister! -Stefano strangles Vivian…she tries to break free but can’t, and she soon falls to the ground…lifeless! -Sami is horrified to see Carrie before her…and Brandon with her! She asks her what the hell she’s doing here, and Carrie says she heard about this on the news…she got Brandon and rushed down here! Larry asks who this is, and Carrie tells him she’s Sami’s sister…she tells Sami…she can’t do this, she’s sacrificing everything! Sami tells her everything in her life is already gone because of Stan, no one believes her, so why shouldn’t she escape this place? Carrie then yells: Carrie:NO, I believe you! I believe you didn’t kill Marlena! *Life in Salem Opening* -Lea puts her umbrella up as she and Greta come out of the secret exit on the side of the Spears Mansion….Greta hands Lea a huge chunk of cash, and thinks her for keeping silent…if she keeps on doing her job and keeping quiet about all this, there will be more where that came from. Lea nods but asks if this is really right, to do this to two women…especially when one of them. Greta smirks and says oh yes…its poetic justice at its very best! -Jan says this is so pathetic and ridiculous! She’s pregnant, locked up in a room with a woman like Nicole, and some nurse that’s probably on drugs is the one taking care of her! Nicole tells her she resents the comment about her, but she does agree…but then she tells Jan that she watched that Lea closely while she examined Jan…she seems like a weaker person…someone sorta like her mother…and if they play their cards right, Lea could be their ticket to freedom! -Ji’Min tells her it was no problem, he knows how to pull some strings…and she and Julie are all cleared! Hope and Julie are both overjoyed as they are finally released from custody, and the two embrace as they leave the police station…Hope tells Julie that now…she can put Gina and the entire mess with her behind her, and she can go home, reunite with her children, and maybe her husband! -Bo and Kristen continue to make love…. -Will and Destiny are in a car, driving through Salem…they are silent for a moment, before Destiny thanks him for asking her out tonight. He says it was no problem, and Destiny tells him it should be fun, and they should try to do things like this more often, and Will agrees. -Back at the Spears Mansion, Lucas and Eugenia decide to try watching some TV tonight, just to relax…they both sit down in the living room, and Eugenia feels her stomach, looking down at where her unborn baby is…she slowly smiles, and she and Lucas begin chatting again…she says her baby’s father may not be in her life right now, but it is a joy…to think of having a child, she’s so excited for its birth…Lucas agrees, and says she’ll love it, saying how its such a joy to have Will…he just wishes he and Jan could have had a baby someday. -Chris sighs and says he supposes if the ISA gives permission…they can go. Shane nods, and Steve quickly rushes off, with Kim not far behind him…Chris then gets some officers and leaves with Shane, and they all run off, desperately trying to find Kayla! -Vivian lies on the floor as Stefano walks past her, still saying how he was utterly foolish to ever have brought her into the DiMera life, and to MARRY that woman all over again! He says he may have done it to finally take over Salem, but he won’t tolerate anyone harming his family. Vivian slowly breathes and tries to stand up as Stefano rants, and she grabs a knife off of a desk! -Sami is silent for a brief moment…before telling Carrie she’s lying, she just wants her to go back into the prison and sit until the riot is over! Brandon interrupts and tells Sami Carrie’s telling the truth, him and Carrie were going to try to prove her innocent! Sami tells Brandon this is the first time she’s talked to him in YEARS, how is she supposed to believe him?! Sami tells them both she just can’t do this anymore, she’s not going to get executed for a crime she didn’t commit! Carrie begs Sami to stop this madness, please…but Larry then says: Larry:Oh all of you shut up! I don’t want to hear about who didn’t or did kill who, I don’t give a damn! Now get out of my way! Brandon:No, sorry, buddy, but I’m not letting that happen! Larry:Well, then…I’m sorry I have to do this… Larry suddenly takes out a GUN, and mutters that he got this off of one of the guards while they were escaping, and he hits Brandon in the face with it! Brandon crumbles to the ground as thunder is heard, and Carrie screams “BRANDON!”, but then Larry hits her over the head with the gun, too! Carrie slumps over unconscious, and Sami says that he just hit her SISTER and her ex-boyfriend, but Larry just growls to come on, and he yanks Sami away from Carrie and Brandon and the crazy prison! -Jan asks what Nicole has in mind, and Nicole says that all they have to do is lay on the guilt THICK to Lea…and she’ll crack. Jan laughs and yells no she won’t, she’s just looking to make some money! Nicole says maybe, but her type…they aren’t people like the henchman Stefano DiMera or Victor hire, people like her are weak…she tells Jan just to keep calm…but if, as Lea takes care of her, she makes her feel really guilty…she’ll be back to Lucas faster than she can say Secret Room! -After Lea leaves, Greta sneaks around the grounds of the Spears Mansion for a bit…she slowly peaks in a window into the living room, and is SHOCKED when she sees Lucas and a pregnant Eugenia sitting together, talking and laughing! -Eugenia, continuing to try to get Lucas’s mind off Jan, changes the subject and asks Lucas if he remembers when they were dating…Lucas laughs and says yes, and no offense, but that was a crazy time in his life. Eugenia nods and says it was in hers too, and they continue to laugh and talk about random things as they watch TV…but it doesn’t take long for them to…fall asleep together! Greta gasps and smiles devilishly as she takes a picture of this via her phone! -Bo and Kristen continue to make love, both almost trying to break away from it but keep getting pulled back in….however, downstairs, unknown to Bo…HOPE slowly sneaks into their house!!!! -Steve, Shane, Kim, Chris, and several other officers arrive at 1412 Salem Boulevard Drive…Shane and Chris both advise Steve to be calm, and they’ll handle this…but Steve says no, HE has to find HIS wife, and he runs up to the front door and bangs on it, and yells for someone to let him in…he knows his wife is in there! -Sami and Larry are running around Salem in the pouring rain, trying to avoid any police…Sami says this is so crazy, she should have never told Vivian she’d do this…Larry tells her to shut up, and not long after he announces the DiMera Mansion is nearby! They’ll be there within mere minutes! -Hope looks around her house, and she sheds a few tears as she thinks to herself how she hasn’t been here for months and months….she wonders if her girls are here, but can’t find them, so thinks they must be with someone else tonight…she says she saw Bo’s car outside, so he must be here…she walks up the stairs to her room… -Bo and Kristen keep on making love…Bo again pulls back, saying this isn’t right…he still has a wife and does still love Hope! Kristen nods and says she’s so sorry, its just…Bo’s the first man she’s actually…made love to since Vince raped her…and it just feels so special…slowly they lean in and kiss once again, and begin making love again…but suddenly the door opens, and HOPE is seen standing there in shock! -Vivian slowly approaches Stefano with a knife, thinking to herself Sami was supposed to do it, but she can’t let him kill her! She continues to approach Stefano, but suddenly he turns around, knocking the knife out of her hands, and grabs her again! He tells her she’s such a fool, NO ONE can kill Stefano DiMera…NO ONE! Vivian says that she has to defend herself, he’s acting like a damn mad man! Stefano tells her that she won’t have to for much longer, because he is going to kill her right here, right now! Vivian agains tries to scream, but suddenly…there is a large explosive sound, and Stefano crumbles to the ground…Vivian’s eyes widen when she sees SAMI in the doorway…gun in hand!

Steve tells him that his wife is missing and he may know where she is! -Kayla is lying in a pit somewhere, unconscious….a man, also unconscious, is seen next to her! -Vivian asks Stefano what the hell he’s talking about, that’s preposterous! Stefano angrily tells her not to lie, it didn’t take much to figure it out! He tells her he’s been thinking ever since Peter’s funeral, and he’s figured it out…the only one who could do it is her! Vivian asks WHY she’d set Peter up to die, and Stefano tells her he knows everything…he knows he slept with her during the snow storm last Feburary, he knows he exposed that at the fashion show….he knows EVERYTHING! He says now its time for her to pay! -Sami is sitting in her cell, thinking about how she has to kill Stefano…she nervously gets up when she sees prisoners running everywhere, but someone opens her cell and says its time to go…she looks up to see Larry Welch! *Life in Salem Opening* -At the Salem Airport, two people get off a plane…. -Nicole almost tries to make a break to escape, but Greta keeps the gun pointed at her…Lea walks in and sits Jan down, and as Nicole and Greta watch, she begins to check on her…Jan complains she needs to be let OUT of here to see a proper doctor, but Greta says this is all she’s getting… -Eugenia asks if that’s a problem, and says no, not one bit…its storming pretty bad out there, anyway.

He tells her that they don’t matter now, this marriage is over, he can carry on without her!

Vivian screams and thinks to herself that Sami better get here quick! -Sami looks up at Larry and exclaims she knows of him and asks him what the hell he’s doing here, and Larry laughs and tells her he’s here on the behalf of Vivian Alamain DiMera….he’s here to break her out of jail! Sami gasps and looks around as the riot takes place, prisoners fighting guards, and thinks to herself this is her last chance to call this off! -Lea continues to check up on Jan and her pregnancy, and she advises Jan to be calm, and that all this stress she has could be hurting her baby…Jan exclaims that she HAS to be stressed out, she’s locked down here with a lunatic! Lea sadly nods, and Jan asks her how she could go along with such a crazy, evil scheme…how could she keep this a secret! Lea sighs, and tells her please, she doesn’t like it but its part of her job. Jan tells her she’s just some random nurse off the street who Greta bought off with whatever money she inherited from her killer mother, and Lea again sighs as she finishes up… -Lucas says he doesn’t know whats going on with Jan, and its been three months since she ran out on him around the time of Marlena’s death….he says however that he wants to try to get his mind off of her, she’s all that’s been going through his mind. Eugenia says she understands, and she can help with getting his mind off of Jan! -Chris Reddins and Steve continue to argue, and Chris tells him without evidence or a warrant, they can’t just go barging into some house to try to find his wife…and he should have reported her missing instead of setting off on his own! Steve says that he wanted to find her himself, but now he may just need the PD’s help…he and Chris still argue, but suddenly someone tells Chris to calm down and that he can authorize them to go to this house…Steve turns around to see….SHANE DONOVAN(Charles Shaughnessy)! -Stefano tells Vivian that he was a downright FOOL to ever get involved with her, he got her out of jail and cleared her for all of her crimes! Vivian tells him no, she’s helped him, she’s the CEO of Alamain for him…Stefano again says none of that matters now! -Sami is tempted to call it all quits…she thinks to herself about what her mother would think…and how this may sacrifice any chance she has of anyone ever believing she didn’t kill Marlena…but then she thinks to herself about how she’ll be locked up in here for the rest of her life anyways, and remembers what Vivian said…Larry tells her there’s no time to laze around, they have to LEAVE! Larry yanks Sami out of her cell, and they run out, fighting through many guards and prisoners as they run throughout the prison… -Vivian continues to beg Stefano just to calm down and they can talk through this, but Stefano refuses, and says she’s harmed his children…now he will harm her!

He smiles slowly and says yeah, the last time they saw each other was at Marlena’s funeral a few months ago.

Lucas says in shock he never knew Austin cheated on her, and Carrie nods and says its true. Lucas says he’s so sorry, and that just doesn’t seem like Austin. Carrie says well it happened, and Lucas tells her to remember he’s there for her, like she is for him…not romantically…just as a friend. Carrie nods and smiles as she leaves the Java Café… -The note slides towards Steve’s foot, and he sees it there and wonders what it is. He slowly picks it up and it reads “1412 SALEM BOULEVARD DRIVE”. Steve looks around and says outloud that may be where Kayla is…he says first, he might need some help! He rushes off! -Vivian nervously asks who could it be that set up Peter, and she wonders why anyone would set up Peter in the first place. Stefano slowly says that not many people hated Peter, so the one who truly did set him up to die instead of Tony is obvious....Vivian shakes, and Stefano looks her deep in the eyes, and says: Stefano:I know its you who is responsible for my son’s death. -The security guards walk into Larry’s cell, as he lies on the ground, moaning and groaning. One of them says they should take him to the nurse, and as they try to get Larry up…suddenly he jumps up on his own, and punches both of them! Larry steals the keys off one of the guards, and runs out of his cell and locks them inside!

Nicholas tells him to save it, he’s done with all of this. Forrest asks him what the hell he’s talking about, and Nicholas smirks and says: Nicholas:I’ve had enough….at this point, I say forget Alamain. We fought to save it, to keep it, we lost. I’ve even tried to stay by this family’s side after we lost it, even if it hasn’t been that long since we did, but I give up. I am giving up on this damn family, its fallen apart. I don’t care about your orders or plans, I am going to reunite with my love, Belle, and we’re leaving this crazy ass town. I have been back in Salem for two years and its been pure hell, aside from meeting and falling in love with Belle, which you tried to ruin. Forrest:Excuse me?! Damn it, Nicholas, stop being so whiny. I’ve had about enough….you lost Belle because of me, that’s all you ever say. We were in the middle of a war with Titan, yet you were dating their top model, that is just unacceptable. And this family is in shambles but I have been the only one trying to put it back together. Ever since 2006 when I came to this town, I have tried to restore the Alamain family and the Alamain business. Vivian tried to stop me though, and now you are. I am not giving up, and I am starting to realize I am the only one that’s trying to get this family back on its feet. You are all talking about how you’re gonna get your model and leave Salem, Valentine’s vanished into thin air, Billie’s not even supporting me anymore! Nicholas:Maybe its because everyone’s realized you aren’t the great man we all thought you were! I had faith in you for awhile, but now you’re just pathetic. All you are, all you’ll ever be. Its time for me to take my life back, I’m not going to operate under your thumb any longer! -At a mysterious hideaway, Valentine and Andre are both there.

Bo tells her he’s so sorry, he shouldn’t have, especially with the state she’s in….she tells him no…don’t apologize…she actually…enjoyed it! -As Vivian hangs up her phone, she says excellent…everything is going as planned….now she just needs to wait! -Steve looks at this letter, and he tears it open to read it….and he takes out a simple paper that reads “YOUR WIFE IS IN DANGER”. -Megan nods, and says she thinks she’s waited long enough for everything to take its course, but not too long….Dr.Stansville asks if she really wants to do this, and she says it could be risky….not to mention her entire plan is almost crazy. Megan orders her to not question her, its time to get to work! -Stefano continues to talk at Marlena’s grave, and he says he’s running out of time, and Vivian did help in taking over Alamain….but if she killed his son, then all bets are off! He tells Marlena he never loved the woman, but he did need her….however, now she’s going to pay! -Forrest tells Nicholas to STOP acting like an IDIOT, and he WILL obey him and help him get Alamain back, for both their sakes! Nicholas laughs and says he just doesn’t care….he’s going to get Belle back, and then he’s getting out of this rat hole of a town! Nicholas then storms out! -Valentine and Andre vow to take down Salem! -Jan and Nicole look at this Lea Zaslow, as Lea examines the place…she nervously looks at Greta and says it is nice, and Jan laughs and says she’s not letting someone like THIS take care of her! Greta asks if she’d stop saying that, and Nicole asks Lea what Greta had to pay her to do this….Lea sighs and says she’s sorry, and this may all seem odd but she really is a skilled nurse…and she can take care of Jan during her pregnancy, all the while keeping quiet about them being under here! -Will slowly says he sees, and looks to Lucas, and pulls him aside. Lucas tells him this is probably temporary, and Will reminds him that he has a FIANCEE, even though he’s no Jan fan and she ran off a few months ago. Lucas says he knows, and promises to Will that this is nothing romantic. Eugenia says she hopes this isn’t a problem, but Lucas assures her it isn’t, and his son was only a bit shocked. -Bo tells Kristen this still wasn’t right, because he’s MARRIED! He says his marriage may be pretty much in shambles but he is married…Kristen tells him….maybe its alright, and she actually has….no regrets. Kristen and Bo again stare into their eyes, and kiss again! They fall back down onto the bed, giving in to their passion…. -Steve very angrily looks at the note, and curses as he stomps out of his apartment! -Dr.Stansville asks Megan if she’d like to see Jill before she has the procedure, and Megan nods, and Dr.Stansville says she’ll go finish preparing as Megan walks into Jill’s room…. -Stefano slowly stands up and walks away from Marlena’s grave, as he says that he’s going to confront his wife…TONIGHT!

Matt, thanks for your wonderful comments...always such a JOY....but I just have to ask something because I'm curious, I have been for awhile but I'll ask now: What is so hoey about the Williams brothers? I notice you always call them that but Kevin and Karim are usually the loyalest guys around(its their women who cheat)! LOL

Alfonso was on contract with the soap from 2006-2008, until she was dropped to recurring in June. "Hope needed to pay for her crimes, and also we needed more room for other stories and characters.

Episode#310: Stefano Realizes The Truth! -Celeste is at her house, and she takes out her Tarot Cards….as she performs a random reading, suddenly she shouts “DEATH”! -Hope and Julie are still in jail together, and they simply sit around and chat a little bit….but suddenly, Ji’Min, their lawyer, comes in and tells them he has some news! -Lucas sits in the waiting room at the hospital, and Mike comes out of Eugenia’s hospital room. Lucas asks if she’s alright, and he smiles and nods, and says he guesses it was just some serious stomach pain, her and her baby at fine…Lucas says thank goodness, they were just talking and suddenly he had to rush her to the hospital. Mike tells him nots to worry, its all fine, but then he says: Mike:I’m a little confused though…I thought you were engaged to Jan Spears, when did you and Eugenia get together? -Vivian walks into Stefano’s office at the DiMera Mansion….he continues to think about Peter’s death, and when he sees her enter, it makes him think about how she could be behind it. She greets him, and he asks what she needs. She says she just needs….a simple favor….she then tells him she needs him to change his will! *Life in Salem Opening* -Bo is at his house, and he hears a knock on the door. He goes to answer it, and opens it to see Kristen! They greet each other, and he says he’s sorry about her brother….he hopes they can find the murderor. Kristen nods and thanks him, and he asks what made her drop by. She says she just wanted to come see her good friend Bo, she was going to the other night…but then Peter died. She asks how he’s been, and he says he’s not sure….some weird things have been happening in his life lately! -Celeste continues to shout “DEATH”, and she exclaims that death is coming to Salem! She looks down at her Tarot Cards and tries to get a better reading but suddenly one of them turn into a picture of….LEXIE! -Julie anxiously asks Ji’Min what news, and he says since they hired him, he’s been trying to pull some strings in the court…since Hope has been locked up here since June, and Julie since April….he tells them that he just may be able to get them out of jail by TOMORROW, and clear them on all charges! -Lucas is silent for a moment, and chuckles before telling Mike that he’s not with Eugenia, she’s not even pregnant with his baby….they just have been talking a bit more lately, and that’s it. Mike says oh, and apologizes, and Lucas explains that he still can’t find Jan. Mike says that’s too bad, and they talk for a moment before Lucas asks if he can see Eugenia. Mike says yes, and Lucas goes in to see her! -Stefano looks up at Vivian, confused, and asks why she suddenly wants him to change his will….Vivian pauses, before explaining that she remembered that last year…when Renee and Elvis made the town think he was dead, there was a battle for his will, and Celeste altered the contents and nearly got everything in the DiMera family before he awoke…and she says she thinks he needs to change it pronto incase something happens to him…Stefano tells her he doesn’t understand, and Vivian says that his rule over Salem would crumble if somehow, his will had to be read and Celeste got everything! Stefano tells her fine, he’ll do that…but they need to discuss something, and that is Peter! -Kristen asks what kind of weird things, and Bo says she just lost her brother, he shouldn’t waste her time. He says that this may seem weird but…..for some reason he thinks he had a one night stand with someone….Kristen’s eyes widen and she remembers Megan walking out of his house the night of Peter’s death, and she asks if he has any idea who! He says no, but he may have done it because he’s been having such a tough time since Hope went to jail. Kristen tells him she totally understands, and then says: Kristen:You know….now maybe I understand what its like to lose someone….a bit more than I ever did. I lost John, yeah, and that hurt me and still hurts today…I really did love him…more than anything, but…after Peter’s death, I know what its like to lose someone who you knew and loved your whole life, and for them to be really gone…Bo, you’ve lost people, whether its by death or going to jail or something…how do you survive? Bo:Its hard to explain, but…it takes a strong person to survive all that’s happened to me, or you for that matter. And believe me Kristen, you’re a strong woman. Stronger than most out there. You were raped, you were thrown in jail…you were held in a dungeon for almost 9 years, you’ll survive this, you will….I’ll be there for you every step of the way. Kristen:Heh, thanks…its just….I remember when we were kids, playing together. We didn’t really know our other siblings, we knew Tony who turned into a perveted pig, so it was just me and him…and when my father had to be gone for months on end, it was him who was there for me….he came to Salem with me, he was there for years with me, he supported me through my rape….my….I….its just, now he’s gone…I’m never going to see him again, hear his voice…see him walking around the mansion…he’ll never be there to comfort me like a brother should…and I couldn’t even stop it…he did so much for me, HE PROTECTED ME, but I couldn’t do the same for him! I couldn’t ever protect him, I couldn’t stop some bastard from killing him! Tears flow from Kristen’s eyes as she breaksdown, and Bo slowly puts his hands on her shoulders, and whispers: Bo:It’ll…be alright, Kristen, I promise…you have me, you- Kristen:And who else do I have?! My father is on some domination quest and married some gold digging bitch, Megan is a full fledged psycho, Elvis is just as evil as they come, Tony’s nothing but a rapist, I don’t know Renee THAT well, Lexie’s wonderful but she has to raise up her son and things like that….my therapist is dead, Jennifer and Billie aren’t in town…you are the only friend I have to turn to…. Bo:And that’s why whenever you turn to me, I won’t hesitate to listen. Kristen:Thank…thank….you…you’re such a great man, Bo. Kristen’s eyes are a mess right now, but they lock with Bo’s eyes….they look at each other, and slowly, they lean in and…..KISS! Bo very slowly begins to take Kristen’s clothes off, and she lets him….they both continue to kiss, and they fall to the floor, kissing and making love…. -Celeste gasps and yells that her daughter can’t be in danger….she says she must protect her, she won’t lose her….suddenly the picture of Lexie dissappears, and Celeste sighs in relief as she whispers that Lexie won’t die…she however says that death shall strike once again! -Hope thanks Ji’Min so much….she says soon she’ll be reunited with her children…and maybe even…her husband! -Lucas walks into Eugenia’s room, and asks how she’s feeling. She slowly nods and answers she’s feeling much better now, and he says that’s good, he was worried. She thanks him, she says it was so kind for him to bring her to the hospital…she says she’ll be released soon, and she’ll just go home. Lucas tells her no….after this and talking to her, he…would like her to stay in the Spears Mansion! Her eyes widen and asks if he’s sure, and says she couldn’t impose, and he says she wouldn’t be imposing. They talk for a minute before she finally accepts the offer! Lucas says excellent, and they both smile at each other…. -Vivian’s jaw drops and she asks what about Peter. Stefano slowly says that he found his murder a bit odd, and asks if she possibly knew anything about it….Vivian immediately says NO, and nervously asks how he could even ask that. Stefano tells her he just needs to find out who killed his son…and Vivian is inwardly confused as she knows Stefano and Kate intended to kill Tony….she tells him she knows nothing, and he nods, and she quickly turns around to leave….she walks out the door, and mutters to herself that that was odd, but by this time in two days or so…her husband will be dead anyway. She walks off, and Stefano says: Stefano:That confirms my suspcision….Vivian set up my son to die.

"Feburary Sweeps has just begun in the last couple eps....I know this year, due to the digital switch, Feburary isn't a Sweeps month...but here at LIS, we're treating it like one! Feburary and March will be jam-packed. December and Janurary had alot of happenings but was sort of slower, we're speeding it up this Feburary. Last year, Feburary Sweeps featured the "Secret Storm", this one will be just as big!" Tara Smith said The DiMera's/Marlena's Death: "This is probably the biggest story on LIS right now, ever since May Sweeps when Stefano awoke, the DiMera's have been on the fast track for domination. Especially Stefano, who even married Vivian to get her help, but now she's beginning to turn on Stefano to proceed with her own plans. She and Sami are teaming up to do it, Sami is really in a desperate state right now, she'll do anything to get out of jail...even if it means actually killing someone! But, the thing is, Sami does have a conscience, and also Stefano is already on the fast track to figuring out Vivian set up Peter to die. This story is going to dominate the show this Feburary, and will Stefano really die at Sami's hands? We'll see that play out. Carrie and Brandon will also tie into Sami's part of the story, as they finally believe she didn't kill Marlena. We'll see that story sorta come back to the frontburner." Kristen/Bo/Megan/Jill/Hope: "This story ties into the DiMera story....Kristen finds herself mourning Peter, and Bo is there to comfort her....they've been friends and off/on growing close for awhile, that will really come full circle this month. But there's Megan, who finally put her plan into action: Drugged Bo and slept with him! But why? That will be revealed this month, there's ALOT more to this story, and thats where Jill comes in. Hope finally comes back into things and LIS in a main role in a SHOCKING way!" The Secret Room: "This story was slow last month, and it will get some movement this month, but not a ton, however it will be featured more! Jan's pregnant, Greta is trying to take care of the baby by hiring some nurse, who will be introduced this month too....in the middle of it all is Nicole, Greta's true rival, who's locked down there. Lucas also is still trying to find Jan, but also, he finds himself oddly bonding with a pregnant Eugenia...this story will REALLY pick up during March." Custody Battle: "Crystal killed Peter and is trying to hide it...this story was on ALOT last month with Crystal trying to kill Tony in exchange for Stefano to influence the court in her and Benard's favor, so it may take a bit of a downtime this month, but the custody battle WILL start soon...Will and Destiny are very close and ready to fight, and they will come front and center eventually." Steve/Kayla: "Someone tried to kill Kayla, but who? Then someone came along and injected some weird syrum into her and dragged her off! This is the start of a *HUGE* umbrella story, and will be on this month, and will connect with some other characters in due time. Steve and Kayla will be re-integrated into the cast soon." Alamain's: "This family is literally in the gutter...they finally lost their business last month, and this is really going to affect Forrest and Billie's relationship because of how he's treating her. Nicholas, now that Alamain is gone, is free to reunite with Belle, but Valentine is in some trouble now that her husband, Andre DiMera, is back in town!" Jeremy/Alexis/Mike/Robin/Laura: "This story was on a well amount last month with Alexis being stabbed, so like a few other stories, it may not be on as much...we'll just see, but the drama is *FAR* from over with these people!" Abe/Maggie: "Their relationship is headed for trouble after some good happiness...lets just say....Hurricane Faye is coming to these two lives!!!!"

Episode#309: Another Accomplice -After Greta leaves, Jan turns to Nicole and tells her this can’t be happening…she’s not doing this, she’s not letting Greta or some crazy nurse she hired care for her! Jan says this is it, they HAVE to get out of here! Nicole tells her she agrees but they’ve been saying that for awhile, and Jan says this time she’s serious, she’s pregnant and can’t risk Greta doing something to her baby! -Lucas asks Eugenia if she’s alright, and Eugenia continues to clutch her stomach and slowly says yes, but she again screams out! Lucas says that he needs to get her to the hospital, and he grabs her and rushes off! -Mike tells Robin that he’s sorry, but if she’s harassing a patient, he’ll have to ask her to leave. Robin says this is so typical, especially of Mike, defending his lover! Mike snaps that he and Alexis AREN’T by any means lovers, he just happened to be the one who saved her life after she was stabbed! Robin mutters yeah right, and storms out. She walks back into the waiting room, and Greta is seen watching from a distance! -The woman that has been watching Kayla continues to choke her, wrapping a scarf around her neck! Kayla tries to breathe and also tries to look around to see who’s attacking her, but can’t! The woman tightens the scarf’s grip on Kayla’s neck! -Vivian is still at the Salem Jail, and she walks up to another cell….and she says that she needs his help with something huge, and she’ll be able to pay him a lot of money….the man, in a low tone, asks what she needs…she says she needs him to cause….a PRISON RIOT! The man asks how much money they are talking about, and she says the sum of 1,000,000 dollars….he says he’ll do it! The man is then revealed to be….LARRY WELCH(Andrew Hyatt Massey)! *Life in Salem Opening* -Jan and Nicole discuss breaking out of the Secret Room, but can’t find any way to…Jan however continues to vow that she won’t be held here while she’s pregnant! -Lucas rushes Eugenia to the hospital! -Alexis thanks Mike….and she asks if he really was the one who saved her life. He confirms it, and she thanks him for that, and he asks who stabbed her….she says she barely even knew the woman, it was some lunatic, but she’s just glad to be alive. Mike and Alexis continue to talk and Alexis soon tells him she wants to ask him something…did Jeremy show any care as to whether she lived or not when he rescued her! -The woman finally releases Kayla, and Kayla falls to the ground, unconscious….the woman laughs as she walks off, and Kayla lies in the middle of the park… -The man Vivian’s talking to is revealed to be Larry Welch! Larry asks Vivian why he’s coming to her, and she says its because…she has a huge plan in store for someone, and to do this…she needs a certain person out of jail, but she’s going to need someone else to facilitate it. Larry comments that all of this is awfully quick, and Vivian says that’s true, but she has to work fast! She again tells Larry that she needs him to cause a prison riot, and to deliver Sami Brady to her immediately! -Nicole tells Jan that she may not have a choice, but….she wants to break out of here, and she won’t let this lunatic beat her! Jan and Nicole both resolve that they need to somehow break out of the Secret Room, and slowly but surely they’ll figure out a way! -Lucas and Eugenia arrive at the hospital, and he yells that he needs help, this woman is having serious pain! Eugenia says she’s fine, its just really hurting…some nurses come to help her, and as they take her away to a hospital room to examine her, Lucas flashes back to rushing Carrie to the hospital in 2006, and how it led to her losing her baby with him…he also flashes back to helping Jan all throughout her pregnancy, which was how they fell in love…. -Mike smiles and tells Alexis that Jeremy may have genuinely cared about whether she lived or died….Alexis smiles lightly, as does Mike, and she wonders if this little incident helped his opinion of her somehow….Mike says he wouldn’t know, but suddenly he’s called away, and Alexis continues to think about her situation with Jeremy and Mike…and Robin for that matter. Greta is seen peeking into her hospital room, and whispering that it seems she lived, but no matter…she has bigger things to worry about, like Jan and Nicole! -Kayla lies motionless in the park, suddenly, a man who’s face is hidden walks up to her and checks her pulse…she slowly opens her eyes, and they widen when she sees the man’s face! However, the man takes out a syringe, and injects it into Kayla…and she’s frozen in that position….and he slowly drags her off… -Larry asks Vivian why she wants someone like Sami Brady to be broken out of jail and taken to her, and Vivian simply says she just does, Larry says this is awfully quick notice…and he is tempted to back out of this since she did stop him trying to murder Hope Brady in 2006, but she tells him that’s in the past, and this will make up for it. He again says fine, and she tells him she wants its done sometime within the next few days! Larry nods, and Vivian walks off, grinning…

Episode#308: Home Free? -Greta walks into the Secret Room, and Jan grumpily asks what she wants. Greta tells her she should be happier….she fulfilled her wishes! Nicole asks if that means she’s letting them out of here, and Greta shakes her head and says no, and reveals that she got Jan a nurse! -Lucas is jogging around Salem, not far from the Spears Mansion grounds. He thinks to himself how he wishes he could get ahold of Jan, and he calls her cell phone, but to no avail. He continues to run and wonder what is going on with Jan, but suddenly he yet again bumps into…Eugenia! -At the hospital, Alexis lies in her bed, still unconscious. She vaguely hears someone saying “Wake up” and opens her eyes, and she groggily looks around, and the person above her tells her she should have known she’d somehow get her son back involved with her! Alexis then sees her visitor is Robin! -Vivian laughs and turns around, and looks at a desperate Sami. She tells her excellent….they can kill Stefano, and then Sami will be home free…. *Life in Salem Opening* -Kayla is walking along alone in the park, and she smiles as she thinks about how glad she is to be reunited with Steve, and she still can’t believe she was away from him for months. She sits down on a becn for a moment, but a mysterious figure is seen watching her! -Jan asks Greta what the hell she’s talking about, and she can’t have a nurse, she’s locked up beneath her mansion! Greta laughs and says it’s a nurse who will come here, and Nicole asks how the hell she’d get a nurse to come down into this hell hole and not blab….Greta explains that its simple: Money! -Eugenia is shocked to see Lucas again, and she says they seem to be running into each other everywhere lately. Lucas apologizes, saying he’s been on the phone all day. He asks Eugenia why she’s around these parts of town, and she says there are some apartments nearby, and she needs a permanent place to stay…she states that with the economy the way it is, she can only afford a lowly apartment but she’ll manage…Lucas curiously asks if it’ll be enough for her to take care of her baby once its born. -Alexis slowly comes back into consciousness, and hoarsely asks Robin what she’s doing here. Robin says she found out from Maggie about how her son had to save her sorry ass after being stabbed. She asks Alexis if she and Mike can’t just stay out of Jeremy’s life, and she wouldn’t be surprised if Alexis set the whole thing up! Alexis tries to tell her to stop, saying she just woke up from actually being stabbed, and she didn’t ask Jeremy to save her, he was just the one who happened to find her! Robin berates Alexis, but suddenly, Mike walks in! -Vivian tells Sami this is just perfect, she’s making the right decision. Sami shakily says she doesn’t want to do this, but she can’t go to the electric chair, because she’s not a murderor, she wouldn’t kill her own mother! Vivian shues her, and tells her she knows, she knows….and this may not be the way she planned on getting out of it, but she promises her that if she does this, she will never see a jail cell again! -Kayla sits silently in the park, and the figure watching her begins to approach her…its revealed to be a woman wearing high heels…. -Greta tells Jan and Nicole that all she had to do was pay this nurse off, and that was it. Jan yells that she is not going to have some nurse that takes bribes take care of her baby, and Greta says her only other option is her taking care of Jan and her new little brat! Jan says that this nurse is probably a crooked one anyway, and Greta simply smirks and tells her it doesn’t matter, now she has her medical attention to care for her during her pregnancy! Greta walks off, leaving a fuming Jan there… -Eugenia is silent for a moment at Lucas’s question, but simply responds that it should be just fine. Lucas asks if she’s sure, and he sees the concerned look on her face, but quickly says its none of his business. She tells him its alright, but suddenly, Eugenia grabs her stomach and yells out in pain! -Robin and Alexis both look at Mike, and Mike sees Alexis is awake and asks Robin what she’s doing here. Robin says she was just having a bit of a chat with Alexis here, and Alexis yells no, she was just INSULTING her, blasting her for something she can’t control! Alexis exclaims that she just woke up from being stabbed, she has bigger things to worry about, and orders Mike to get Robin out! -The woman that has been watching Kayla for awhile slowly walks up behind Kayla as she sits on the park bench, and they take out a scarf, and suddenly….the woman wraps it around her neck and begins to choke Kayla! -Sami tells Vivian this better be worth it….she’s not even sure if she should do it. Vivian says she already said she’d do it, and she knows its what she must do. Sami very slowly nods, and tears run down her cheeks, and she asks Vivian how she’s going to get her out of prison to do it, and how…she wants her to kill Stefano. Vivian simply says that she’ll take care of that, and very soon she’ll see. Vivian tells her to expect to be on the move very soon, as she turns and leaves the jail, and Sami breaks down in tears, and she whispers to herself: Sami:I may have just made a horrible decision…

Episode#307: To Kill or Not to Kill? -At the Salem Inn, Jennifer is there now, but she hears a knock on the door. She answers it to see Laura, and she gently smiles and greets her. Laura tells her she’s sorry about earlier, she and Robin haven’t been on the best of terms lately, but she shouldn’t have brought her into it…Jennifer tells her its alright, she understands. Laura and her hug, and Laura goes on to ask when she’s leaving Salem! -Greta is on the phone in the middle of Salem, and she simply says to the person on the other side yes, she needs their services for something…. -Stefano tells Kristen she has a point, Kristen says that someone had to set him up…she just doesn’t know who, because any enemies Peter has weren’t in town…Stefano says that’s another very good point, and both of them think…Stefano thinks about when he’s been around Peter the past year, since May when Stefano woke up from his coma, and if he ever had anyone he feared or was disgusted with… -Sami’s eyes widen, and she immediately exclaims that she’s trying to prove that she’s NOT a murderor, she’s not going to kill someone else! Vivian orders her to keep it down, and she tells her that she just needs her to do this simple little thing, and she’ll be home free, out of this hell hole! Vivian explains that she can easily bust her out of here, she kills Stefano, and she’ll give her an entirely new life in an entirely new place! Sami then says: Sami:But I don’t want a NEW life…my son is back in town, I have a granddaughter I’ve never even met….I need to be Sami Brady, who lives in SALEM! Vivian:Sorry, dear, but you should have thought of that before you killed Marlena! Listen, if you want to leave this place, this is your only option. No one else is going to give you an offer like this, and you are not going to prove to the justice system that you didn’t kill Marlena! Sami:Well why do you want to kill Stefano anyway? You just married the guy and I hope you know who you’re messing with! Vivian:Lets just say…Stefano has been such a big help to me, and I’ve been such a big help to him, but I need him out of the way for a few reasons….I don’t think he can help me anymore. And you, my dear, are the perfect person to kill him! *Life in Salem Opening* -Brandon asks Carrie why she needs HIS help, and there’s nothing he in particular can do. Carrie tells him she just knows he’ll support her, because none of her other family will. She says that they have to do something to prove that Sami’s innocent, and if they work together, they may just be able to! She then asks Brandon if he will help her! -Jennifer tells Laura that she’s pretty much only in town for a day, and she’ll probably be heading out tomorrow morning…Laura tells her that’s just too bad, and she wishes she could have had more time with the family and everything, and Jennifer says her too, but…its so odd, returning for Peter’s funeral, she rather it just be quick…she says she also wishes she could have visited Hope and Julie in jail, but that would probably be too painful as well, so its best for her to just be here for a very short time, and Laura says she understands. -Greta tells the person on the phone that this is excellent, they’ll have to meet right away….but to remember, this is all very top secret, and if she betrays her…there will be hell to pay! -Stefano tells Kristen that he can’t quite think of anyone, and Kristen says that it could have been that pig Tony, maybe he set it all up! Stefano says he hates Tony but that’s impossible, and Kristen asks who it could be then, and Stefano says he’s not sure….Stefano however then remembers how Peter was always afraid of Vivian somehow hurting him! -Sami asks WHY Vivian chose HER, she asks why she couldn’t just do it herself or hire a hitman! Vivian answers that its because this would have something in it for the both of them, and plus there’s always the threat of someone like a hitman exposing her…she says she knows Sami wouldn’t dare, and again, there’s something in it for them both. Sami sighs, and Vivian asks if she’ll do it…if she’ll kill Stefano! -Brandon thinks for a minute, and he explains to Carrie he and Sami have a troubled past together, as she well knows…but, he does think she may be innocent this time, so…..yes, he will help her! Carrie thanks him and even hugs Brandon, stating she knows that they can do this! -Laura tells Jennifer that regardless, she was so glad to see her again, and this is the first time she’s seen both her children since Alice’s funeral…Jennifer agrees, and tells her she loves her so much, and the mother and daughter share a tight embrace as they say an emotional goodbye to each other…Laura tells Jennifer she’ll always be there for her, and Jennifer nods, and she thanks Laura and says she’ll say bye to Abby later…Laura soon leaves, smiling as she does…. -Greta is still on the phone, and she says alright, they’ll meet soon….Greta hangs up, and she grins evilly as she walks off…. -Stefano wonders to himself if it could have been Vivian, at first he tells himself no, it couldn’t have been….but he continues to wonder. Kristen asks Stefano if they should involve the police, and Stefano immediately says no, he doesn’t want the PD on their backs investigating Peter’s death, they’ll figure it out themselves…and in due time. Kristen nods slowly, and hugs Stefano before leaving the room, as he continues to wonder if Vivian had something to do with Peter’s death…. -Sami tells Vivian….NO, she won’t stoop that low, not now or ever! Vivian shrugs and says fine, then she can sit in jail for the rest of her life, no one will ever come visit her, her family hates her…or maybe, she’ll go to death row, just like when everyone thought she killed Franco Kelly! Vivian then whispers that this time, however, no one will burst in and save her, mommy’s not around to defend her, and this Stan certainly wouldn’t come back to prove Sami innocent…Vivian continues to taunt her, saying that she can’t imagine how much torture it would be to know you’re going to die, and then to be sitting their on that table as they kill you…Sami begins to shake, and slowly imagines it…Vivian then says maybe they won’t send her to the execution table….maybe she’ll get to go to the electric chair instead! Sami yells for Vivian to shut up, but Vivian continues on…as she turns to walk away, Sami suddenly says: Sami:NO….Vivian, WAIT, I’ll do it! Fine, fine, fine…you get your wish, I can’t stand to be in this place for the rest of my life, or go to death row…I’ll…I’ll…I’ll…kill Stefano…

Episode#306: A Proposition -Jennifer comes back to Maggie’s house as the funeral is over, and Laura asks how it went. Jennifer explains to her what happened, and Laura asks why she didn’t give a euology, and Jennifer simply says it didn’t feel right. She goes on to ask Laura how her life has been since she’s been back in Salem, and Laura explains that she’s been enjoying it, there’s just been drama between Mike and Jeremy…not to mention that Jeremy’s mother, Robin, is here! -Greta tells Nicole that’s a nice try, but no one is leaving the Secret Room, they’ll be down here for the rest of their lives! She tells them both that she’ll take on the challenge, she’ll see if she can take care of a pregnant woman! Jan yells that she’d NEVER trust her to basically take care of her baby, and Greta snaps that she’s going to have to, she doesn’t have a choice! -At the Salem Jail, Sami is sitting in her cell. The guard approaches and tells her she has a visitor, and she wonders to herself who’s visiting her THIS time! Sami looks on in confusion when Vivian walks up to her cell! She asks what the hell she’s doing here, and Vivian tells her she’s come to see her…she has a proposition for her! -Kristen walks into the living room at the DiMera Mansion, where Stefano is sitting in silence. He has a picture of Peter in his hand, and Kristen slowly greets him. Stefano greets her, and asks what she needs. Kristen then says this: Kristen:We need to find out who killed Peter. *Life in Salem Opening* -Brandon is at his apartment in Salem, and he hears a knock on his door. He opens it to see Carrie, and he happily greets her…he asks her if she needs something, and she says yes…she needs some help. Brandon asks what she needs help with, and she replies….SAMI! -Jennifer asks Laura what the problem is with Robin around, and its good that Jeremy’s mother is here in Salem to be with him, he didn’t see her for two years. Laura agrees, but she tells Jennifer that Robin HATES Mike, and is on a tirade against him. Jennifer says that what Mike did was wrong, from how it sounds, and Robin has a right to be mad…she tells Laura that its really none of her business, and Laura says it is, because she has to protect Mike AND Jeremy from Robin, or else! They hear a voice ask if Laura’s talking bad about her behind her back, and they both turn to see Robin! -Jan yells that Greta’s not a nurse, and Nicole comments that with Greta being the princess she’s probably never even had a job. Greta says she could always try, and Jan says that with her only just discovering she was pregnant and with what Greta’s been feeding them she’s already damaged her poor child enough already. Jan touches her stomach as she sighs, and Greta after a moment yells fine, she has an idea! -Sami raises her eyebrow and tells Vivian if she hasn’t noticed, she’s in JAIL, and she doesn’t have ANY interest in working with Vivian…she always thought she was disgusting and she tried to get her to kill her grandmother back in 2006. Vivian tells her that this proposition will get her out of jail, it will make her stop worrying about killing Marlena…. -Stefano is silent for a moment, and he simply says yes, they should…Kristen claims that they NEED to, because SOMEONE killed her brother, and rather it was Tony or someone else, she’s going to make them pay! She tells him that she knows he loves Peter, he has to help her…she knows he wouldn’t let them get away with this, and he has the power to squash whoever did this! Stefano tells her to calm down, they are all still mourning, but Kristen screams NO! She says that someone HAD to intentionally kill Peter, because its too much of a coincidence that he was down at the pier JUST as someone fired a gunshot! -Brandon raises an eyebrow and asks Carrie if Sami’s in jail, and Carrie nods, but she explains that she really thinks Sami is innocent…Brandon asks if she’s sure, and she says yes, she’s sure…she says she’s been talking to him a lot lately, and she wants to prove that Sami’s innocent….but she’ll need his help. -Robin tells Jennifer to not believe a word her mother says about her, all she’s done since she has come back to town is bash her to everyone she can. Laura says that’s what SHE’S doing with Mike, and now she’s trying to do it to her! Robin tells Laura to just shut up, and Jennifer stands up and says she really shouldn’t get in the middle of this. Jennifer says she was only in town for a day anyway, and she’s staying at the Salem Inn and should really get back there. Jennifer runs off, and as Laura stomps off she tells Robin to look at what she’s done! -Nicole hesitantly asks Greta what this idea is, and Greta smiles and says she’ll see, but lets just say that Jan will get her wish! Jan and Nicole are both confused and ask what she means, and if she’ll let them out of the Secret Room, but Greta takes off, leaving them wondering what she’s talking about…. -Sami curiously asks Vivian how she can get her out of jail…and Vivian slowly says there’s going to be a big price, and Sami says anything….Vivian goes on to say she knows she has some experience in murder…and Sami quickly corrects her, saying it was STAN who killed Marlena! -Kristen tells Stefano that she never monitored Peter every minute of his life, but she knows in the past year that he’s been back, he NEVER went down to the pier! She says he’d never intentionally go meet Tony down there, he really never had a reason to be down there! Kristen concludes that someone HAD to set Peter up! Stefano thinks for a moment, and he thinks to himself that Kristen may be right…maybe someone worked against him and somehow got Peter to come down to the pier! -Vivian laughs at Sami and says of course it was, and Sami groans and tells Vivian to just go away. Vivian says if she does, Sami will never get out of jail…no one else can do what she can, she is Mrs. Stefano DiMera! Sami tells Vivian to just tell her what she wants, and Vivian leans in close to the bars and whispers: Vivian:I want you to kill Stefano DiMera.

Written by: Tara Smith and Special Guest Writer ML Cooks Episode#305: The Funeral of Peter Blake -Carrie is hesitant to answer Eric’s question, and she says she knows Sami is a liar, and she’s not sure….but…she may. Eric exclaims that’s ridiculous, Sami’s story is crazy and ridiculous! Carrie says she knows, but she HAS to stop and think! Marlena claimed, before she died, that Sami had been acting oddly, that’s why she called her back to town! She says that this town has seen such crazy things, why is THIS so hard to believe? Carrie goes on to say: Carrie:Sami dressed up as Stan, who’s to say this Stan didn’t actually dress up as Sami like she says? I mean, we saw Andre DiMera make Marlena think she was the Salem Stalker and he whisked everyone off to some freaky island and then a castle. We saw Marlena POSSESSED for months! We saw Kristen Blake have four look-a-likes, one who dressed up as her and threw her in a secret room, then another that got killed in her place! We saw Andre and Tony DiMera constantly get switched, Rex and Cassie came into town from a spaceship! Not to mention all the weird DiMera happenings, like the Three Prisms! So yes, this is possible, and yes, this means that Sami could be telling the truth! -Nicole tells Jan that she was pregnant once, and this time she actually will have a baby naturally, it’ll be fine! Jan smiles and says it will be nice to have a baby with Lucas…she just wants him to be there when its born, and this gives them all the more reason to break out of this hell hole! Nicole agrees, she says they just don’t have any clue how, but they’re both interrupted when Greta enters and asks if Jan’s pregnant! -Destiny is in the shower at the Spears Mansion, and she thinks to herself how she’s so worried for Will, with the custody battle starting soon and all. She continues to think about it, and also thinks about how Arianna would want Will to have their daughter, not her parents. Destiny slowly gets out of the shower….but as she’s getting out and putting a towel on, Will walks in! -All the DiMera’s are outside St.Luke’s, as Peter’s funeral begins. It is mostly empty except for the DiMera’s and Jennifer, and Renee whispers in Elvis’s ear that Peter could be having a PROPER funeral if he hadn’t tried to blow up the place! They all turn when they see Tony and Anna enter, and Kristen whispers to Stefano that he shouldn’t be here, but Stefano tells her to just let it go. With that, the funeral begins…. *Life in Salem Opening* -Crystal and Benard are at their hotel room, and Crystal nervously reads in the newspaper that Peter’s being buried today…she thinks to herself that now Stefano will never help her get Arianna, he’ll probably help Will get her. Benard walks in, and asks her whats wrong, she’s seemed on edge for days now! -Eric tells Carrie to calm down, and he didn’t know she was so passionate about this! Carrie asks how she can NOT be, Marlena, who was like a mother to her for years, was murdered, and now her own sister, Marlena’s daughter, is in jail for it! Carrie tells Eric to think about it, Sami’s done some AWFUL things, and she and Marlena have had a very rocky relationship, but she always loved Marlena, she’d never kill her! Eric says she may have a point… -Jan slowly tells Greta that yes….she is pregnant with Lucas’s child. Greta groans and says that this is just great, now she has to take care of a pregnant woman and her brat! Nicole tells Greta that she doesn’t HAVE to, and Jan tells her Nicole’s right…now that she’s pregnant, this all needs to end, it’s the end of the line for her, its time for Greta to release them! -Will’s eyes widen and he tells Destiny he’s so sorry, and tries to leave, but Destiny tells him its fine, its fine, she got a towel on before he walked in. Will again apologizes, but she tells him its fine. Will steps out, and Destiny comes out a moment later with a robe on. Destiny tells him she was actually just thinking about him, and the custody battle. Will tells her it starts soon, and he’s so nervous! -Peter’s funeral begins, and the first to give a euology is Stefano. He slowly stands up, and stands in front of everyone, and he says that Peter….was never his biological son, but he always thought of him as a son, and direly wanted him to be his own. He states that Peter was a true DiMera, and was always loyal through thick and thin…he experienced hard times, like when he went to prison, but he survived…and he raised Peter up and saw him grow, he saw him develop himself, and he was always an important part of the DiMera family, even in the years that Stefano WASN’T there for him….he says that it shall be very different and hard without him, and he shall try to make his son proud. Stefano looks to Peter’s coffin, and before he steps down, he leans down and says this: Stefano:And I want you to know, my son….that I never wanted this to happen to you, and any harm I EVER caused you…was never intentional. I loved you….so so very dearly. And with that, Stefano goes and sits down. -Crystal lies to Benard and tells him that its just with the custody trial coming up and everything, she’s nervous. Benard assures her it will all be fine, and despite the problems they have discussed, they can get Arianna from that scoundrel Will Roberts. Crystal smiles and says she hopes so, she definitely wants her little granddaughter back, living with them… -Kristen emotionally stands as its her turn to give a euology at Peter’s funeral: Kristen walks up to her brother’s casket and looks at him one last time, savoring the last remaining moments she’ll ever see of Peter’s face again. She wipes a slow falling tear on her cheek. She turns around and smile a bit as she looks at her family. Seeing her family, gives her brief comfort. Stefano, Lexie, her son Theo, Renee, Megan, Elvis and even Tony, Anna, Jennifer, and Vivian are all there to see Peter‘s last moments. Kristen “Not very many people here…. A lot of people didn’t care for my brother too much. But it’s ok. He meant the world to me and my brother knew that and that’s all that mattered to him. He was not put here to be liked or gain anybody’s approval. He was my brother and I could not ask for anyone else to play that role in my life. Peter was a great man. Behind his tough exterior, was a man, who was compassionate and loving. He always put his family’s need before his own.” She wipes a tear as she looks back at the dead man. She looks out onto the crowd again, “I remember when we found our mother in New Orleans. Peter was so excited. It was a happy time for us. Finally about to meet our birth mother. But tragically it wasn’t meant to be. But together, Peter and I made it through that horrible time. I remember when I was a little girl and Peter and I were adopted. I was so cared. I didn’t know what was happening. We were bouncing around from one strange place to another. Peter was my guiding light. He told me everything would be ok. He protected me. He got me through my worst fears. My worst night mares. It was just me and him growing up. With out him, I would be nothing.” Getting more teary eyed, she pauses again, and wipes the tears that are falling from her face with intensity. She continues, “And Peter was there for me when I was raped by that monster bastard and sorry excuse for a man, Tony the devil Dimera. He is not worthy of even having my family’s name. He’s scum. He’s the dog [!@#$%^&*] under my shoe! Peter made sure Tony knew it though. Peter was there for me again. He was not going to let Tony get away with this sick crime. I wish…..I wish it was Tony that was dead and not Peter! Peter has never done anything as sick as Tony has.” Stefano feels guilty as his plan to have Tony killed backfired, leaving Peter to get shot. Tony feels his face getting warm as he listens to Kristen talk about his raping her. Kristen “Why are you even here Tony?! You have no business being here. It should be you in that coffin. Not my brother you disgusting pervert. I’ll get you!” She says running after Tony. Tony stands up and leaves the St.Luke’s area as Elvis grabs Kristen. Kristen has a breakdown and Elvis holds her. “It’s not right? Why Peter? Why my brother? I’ll never be able to talk to him or see him ever again. WHY!!!!?” Stefano himself sheds a tear as he watches Kristen cry over her dead brother. “What have I done?” He says to himself. -Eric tells Carrie she does have a point, but she doesn’t REALLY believe Sami, does she? He asks her if truly, deep down in her heart, if she really believes that a man dressed up as Sami and killed Marlena. Carrie sighs and is silent for a moment as she thinks about this, and she flashes back to all Sami’s done over the years, all she’s done to HER to try to ruin her life…Eric says after a moment that he knew it, she doesn’t believe her. Carrie looks up at Eric and finally says: Carrie:No, damnit…I…I…I DO believe her! I admit it: Even after all Sami did to me, to try to ruin my relationship with Austin, my happiness, after all she did to people like Lexie, Brandon, Nicole, Kate….I BELIEVE her! I definitely believe that guy Stan dressed up as her and killed Marlena! And damnit, I am going to FIND a way to get Sami out of this! I’m going to stand by her side the whole way! Carrie then stands up, and walks out of Chez Rouge as Eric looks on and shakes his head…. -Greta laughs and tells them that she’s not going to let a baby get in the way of her revenge, NOTHING will get in the way of her revenge! Nicole tells her that she’s HAD her revenge, Jan and her have been tortured down here for months now! She says that unless Greta relases them, she is going to have a huge responsibility on her back! -Destiny tells Will that she PROMISES him that it’ll be fine, she knows how he feels, she’s nervous too…but they’ll fight the Galore’s, no matter what it takes. Will thanks her, for all her encouragement and everything she’s done, and he says he’s told her this before but he will again….he couldn’t do all this without her. She tells him she doesn’t need any thank-you’s, and him getting his daughter back will be enough for her, and the two walk off together…. -After Kristen’s euology, Father Jansen stands back up, and he says that a euology from Tony was planned but due to this emotional time for everyone and Tony leaving, they will move along…he asks if any of the other DiMera siblings, or Vivian or Jennifer, want to give a euology. They all shake their heads, and he nods, and as Anna gets up and runs to go find Tony, Father Jansen finishes the emotional funeral, and the burial begins…Vivian thinks to herself that she’s sorry this had to be done, she really is, but Peter went against her, and he had to pay, just so sad it had to end this way…Stefano shakes, the guilt running through him, as he sees Kristen and his other children in such an emotional state, and his adoptive son Peter Blake get put into the ground…

She reads the newspaper, and at the headline of Peter’s death, she flashes back to how she set him up to be killed. She however shrugs it off by saying she needed revenge, and she just hopes Stefano doesn’t figure it out, and she also sees an article about her takeover of Alamain, and how Titan is mentioned, and she also mutters that she needs to get ahold of Titan. She then sees an article about Sami still being in jail! -At the Kiriakis Mansion, Dorian comes knocking on the door, and Kate answers it. She asks Dorian what she’s doing here AGAIN, and Dorian smiles and says she’s here to see Victor! Kate says he’s in the dining room eating breakfast, and Dorian walks in and heads off, and Kate then thinks about Peter’s death, and how she and Stefano wanted Tony to die, not Peter! -At Maggie’s house, Laura hears someone knocking on the door. She yells that she’s coming, and she says to herself she didn’t know anyone was stopping by this early in the morning, and she walks up to the door, opens it to see….JENNIFER DEVERAUX(MELISSA REEVES)! *Life in Salem Opening* -Eric and Carrie are at Chez Rouge, having breakfast. Carrie asks Eric how he’s been, she’s barely talked to him except for on Christmas Eve. Eric tells Carrie he’s been fine, just fine, and asks whats with her suddenly trying to bond with everyone and get the family together. Carrie simply says its time for that to happen, it was what Marlena wanted before she died, and she’s going to do it. She says that she’s been worried about him though, he’s been acting off! -Nicole tells Jan to just get on with it, and Jan says she should, just to prove that she’s NOT pregnant! Jan walks into the bathroom, and she stares at the pregnancy test, and slowly grabs it, and brings it back out…. -Vivian comments on how interesting it is, Sami killed her own mother…yet she’d never even poison Caroline for her. Sami flashes back to blackmailing Sami in 2006 to poison Caroline Brady, but Sami refused. She also says that things look pretty bleak for Sami…she thinks for a moment, and says outloud that maybe Sami could help her THIS time! -Dorian walks into the dining room of the Kiriakis Mansion, and sees Victor eating, and he looks up and is ASTONISHED to see Dorian! He asks her what the hell she wants, and she smiles and explains she just wants to come see him. Victor tells her to cut the crap and asks her what she’s playing at! -Kate continues to ponder everything surrounding Peter’s death, and she says it just wasn’t right, maybe she shouldn’t have went so far and Peter was innocent in all of this, he didn’t have a thing to do with it! She also says how Crystal is just an idiot, she wonders why Stefano even hired her! She says she just needs to go turn herself into Bo at the police station right now! -Laura is OVERJOYED to see her daughter, Jennifer Horton Deveraux, in the doorway, and she quickly hugs her! Laura and Jennifer reunite, and Jennifer explains that she’s back for Peter’s funeral, and Laura says she thought so, she tried to call her about that! Abby walks in, and is also happy to see her mother, and they reunite! Laura says this is fantastic, both her children are back in Salem! -Eric laughs and asks Carrie how she could be worried about HIM, Sami’s the one in jail! Carrie says that’s true, but she’s not even sure if Sami should be. Eric raises an eyebrow, and asks Carrie that SHE of all people can’t POSSIBLY believe Sami, can she? -Jan takes a heavy breathe, and she slowly looks down at the pregnancy test results….and she gasps! Nicole yells she KNEW it, and Jan’s eyes are VERY wide as she says that Nicole was right…she’s PREGNANT! The test came back positive! Nicole laughs, and Jan looks at her and tells her this isn’t a joke, she has a living being in her stomach, yet she’s been held captive by a psycho, and she can’t trust Greta to help her take care of a baby! -Vivian paces around a little, and she says that poor Sami Brady must be dying, being imprisoned like this…it’d probably make her desperate. Vivian then goes on to think to herself that she does need a way to get Titan, and Stefano CAN’T help her this time…but Sami may be able to! She smirks as she begins to leave for Peter’s funeral… -Victor tells Dorian that he is tired of seeing her around town, and her simply winking or acting odd, and he wants to know why she’s in Salem and what she wants with him! Dorian tells him that she likes Salem, it’s a nice place, and she simply wants to see him from time to time…they do have unfinished business, after all! Victor tells her that he is with Celeste Perrault, if she hasn’t noticed, and commands for her to leave his mansion! Dorian tells him fine, but warns him not to think he’s seen the last of her! -Kate thinks deeply for a minute about Peter’s death, and she eventually says it’d be the right thing to do…but no, she can’t! She only just got her life back after months of being in the DiMera Mansion basement, she can’t give it up now, and Stefano would probably kill her if she did! She then says: Kate:So…that’s it then….no one can ever know that Stefano and I set up Tony DiMera to be killed and hired Crystal Galore to kill him, but Peter Blake ended up getting killed instead….. Little does Kate know, standing outside the living room is….DORIAN! Dorian grins at hearing such information as she leaves the Kiriakis Mansion…. -Laura, Jennifer, and Abby all reunite and catch up, and Jennifer says that Jack and Jack Jr. are still back in London, and because of how Peter, her, and Jack’s past played out….he just decided to stay behind.

She hears him mutter how he’s so sorry this happened…and she begins to cry more. Stefano turns around at hearing her enter, and his eyes widen, and he asks her how Peter is…he asks if his son lived! She slowly says: Lexie:I’m…I’m so sorry, father…but…but….Peter didn’t make it through the surgery… Stefano:No…this can’t be true…there must be a mistake…..my son can’t be dead….NO! *Life in Salem Opening* -Nicholas and Forrest are at the Alamain Mansion, and Forrest continues to rant and rave about his anger regarding Vivian taking over Alamain. He says he can’t believe he never saw this coming, and Nicholas snaps that he knows why, he’s a fool!

Forrest says that if he’s a fool, Nicholas is a fool too, because he supported him until recently! -Kayla rushes to Bo, and Bo asks what they’re doing here, and what happened.

She asks what happened, and Renee slowly replies that Peter’s dead! Vivian gasps, and remembers how she set Peter up to be killed! -Lexie comforts Stefano, and he tells her he can’t believe this, it just can’t be true! Lexie says she’s so sorry, she tried to save him, she really did! Stefano tells her he knows she did, and thinks to himself its his fault for hiring Crystal! He asks Lexie if he can see Peter, and she says certainly! After they talk a bit more, Stefano walks off… -Nicholas explains to Forrest that he supported Forrest and his screw up moves until he made him break up with Belle! Forrest groans and says he needs to STOP whining about that, and he did what he had to! Nicholas snaps that its probably because of things like THAT that caused Forrest to lose Alamain to Vivian and the DiMera’s! Nicholas and Forrest continue to argue, and soon Nicholas suddenly says that now that he’s out of Alamain…he can be with Belle! -Bo says its just been him as far as he knows, but he has brief flashes to being in bed with someone, but shrugs them off. Kayla asks how he feels, and he says right now he feels a bit groggy but fine, and he, Steve, and Kayla all talk a bit before Steve and Kayla leave, and Bo wonders if anything happened there…. -Vivian thinks to herself that Peter is dead…her revenge on another person is complete. She also thinks she does partially feel bad, watching them all in so much pain and that it had to end this way…but life is life. The DiMera’s continue to mourn peter, and Kristen wails out in pain…Crystal shakes, and mutters this has caused everything to go downhill, as she turns and leaves the hospital… -Stefano walks into the morgue, and he makes sure he is alone, and sees Peter’s body there…he sits down beside him, and he says…he’s sorry. He says he never should have hired Crystal to kill Tony, he hates the man but this has caused a loved one to die. He says its his fault, he takes full responsibility…and he hopes wherever Peter is, he can forgive him. He says he was never prouder to have a son like him, even if he was adopted, and he was such a grand man. A few tears go down Stefano’s cheek as he thinks about whats happened tonight, and he cries as he gets up and walks away from Peter Blake’s cold, dead body…

BROOKS SAYS BYE BYE TO HIS 'LIFE IN SALEM' After the shocking episode on Friday aired, revealing Peter Blake died from being shot by Crystal Galore, it is being revealed that Jason Brooks has been fired from LIS! Brooks starred as Peter on "Days" from 1993-1996, then 1996-1997, and he came on LIS in early 2008. Peter returned for his father Stefano DiMera's funeral(when Renee and Elvis faked his death), and ended up sticking around in Salem. During the course of the past several weeks, Stefano and Kate have been plotting revenge on Tony(for raping Kristen and nearly killing Kate as Vince) and hired Crystal Galore, former criminal and the grandmother of Will Robert's daughter Arianna, for her to kill Tony in exchange for Stefano influencing the courts to give her back Arianna. However, Vivian(who wanted to get back at Peter for helping Valentine and Celeste crush her at the fashion show), lured him down to the pier where Crystal accidentally shot him. "I feel that Peter's potential on the show was just running out, so we decided to send him off in a huge way." Tara Smith said "Also, I'd like to send a big shoutout to Roman for writing the EXCELLENT scene where the DiMeras discovered he died during surgery." Brooks shall last air this week.

Jeremy is very relieved and he even THANKS Mike and even briefly hugs him, before going in to see Alexis! Mike is shocked, and touched, and Maggie smiles and tells him that slowly, Jeremy’s forgiving him… -Kate and Stefano are silent for a moment, as Crystal hides and watches, and Kate tells Billie that she was down here due to all the DNA tests everyone’s wanted to run recently to prove she’s her, finishing up some things with them and she ran into Stefano!
