    2/6/06

    -Maggie runs out of the church and bumps right into Sarah Horton. Melissa Anderson, Pete Jannings, Marie Horton, Tommy Horton, Bill Horton, Laura Horton, Mike Horton, Jeremy Jacobs, and Sandy Horton are all there too. They all met at the airport. They are reunited with Alice, Doug, and Julie. Pete says that he just had to come given how the Horton’s treated him and because of how much he cares about Melissa despite not being together anymore. Carrie is shocked to come face to face with Mike. Mike tells Carrie there are no hard feelings. Austin is there too and the men shake hands. Carrie embraces Laura and Jeremy too as both carry no ill will towards her. Mike and Lucas embrace and catch up. Jen and Abby reunite with Laura, Bill, Mike, and Jeremy. They all four say they will be returning to Salem more frequently saying that life is too short to stay away. They are amazed by how much Abby has grown and express regret about Jack. They are pleased to see Frankie and Max with them. Sarah mentions to Maggie how her father, Neil Curtis, wanted to make it to support her but was unable to get away from work and didn’t want to call her and bother her so asked Sarah to let her know. Maggie doesn’t even react. Sarah and Melissa worry about Maggie as she embraces them and continues to blame herself for Mickey’s death. She can’t even look them in the eye. Everyone tries to convince her otherwise but she won’t have it. They all go inside where they are reunited with Bo, Hope, and many others.

    -Steven Olsen and Spencer Olsen then arrive and reunite with Julie and the Horton’s. Julie notices Spencer carrying a chip on his shoulder as Spencer says that he only behaves like that because he refuses to tell Spencer who his real mother is. Julie asks Spencer who it is but he clams up and tells Julie its not appropriate to discuss that at a funeral. Julie is intrigued.

    -Jessica Blake Fallon and Joshua Fallon arrive and greet the Horton’s with their condolences. They express how much they cared about Mickey and know how good of a man he was.

    -Bill reunites with Lucas and asks him if something is wrong. He lies once again as Bill asks where Will is. Lucas fills him in.

    -Don Craig shows up and reunites with everyone including Marlena. John and Roman shake hands with him. Don then consoles Maggie who thanks him for being there and then once again gets quiet and stares at the caskets again. Don joins the Horton’s and everyone else in worrying about Maggie.

    -Brady Black then shows up with Chloe Lane. They reunite with John, Marlena, Mimi, Shawn, and Belle. Mimi happily tells them of her and Shawn’s news. Brady consoles Caroline over her loss and they remember the days when she and Grandpa Shawn used to watch Belle and himself. Brady then reunited with Victor and notices him watching Caroline. Brady asks his grandfather if he is ok as Victor says he will be once Caroline stops pushing him away. Brady and Nicole come face to face. They bury the hatchet, as does she and Chloe.

    -Rex and Cassie Brady arrive. They embrace Roman, Shawn, and Belle and are very disappointed in Kate being out of town. They are very happy about Shawn and Mimi and their engagement an pregnancy. Mimi and Rex meet. He says he has forgiven her and is happy for her but he still can’t forge and he can’t help but feel hurt that she got pregnant by Shawn and is having his childt. Mimi and Cassie then get into it over Rex but Shawn breaks it up as Mimi feels pains in her stomach, causing panic. Lexie examines her and she is ok. Shawn comforts her as she is upset over Rex.

    -Kayla Johnson, Stephanie Johnson, Shawn Donovan, and Andrew and Jeannie Donovon arrive. Everyone can’t believe how much the kids have grown. They agree to visit more often. Kayla mentions how Stephanie and her are gonna be living in Paris for awhile since Stephanie got a modeling job. Kimberly is now in a wheelchair after she injured her back and the surgery on it went awry. Her husband has now left her and the kids. Kim hasn’t heard from him in nearly a year. She says she has been living with Shawn in London but just as friends and so that he can help with the kids. The still strong bond between them is still evident though.. Shawn tells his aunts the news of his engagement and impending father hood.

    -Eric Brady arrives and reunites with his family. Nicole tries to approach him but Eric keeps getting pulled over by people. She finally gets his attention and is shocked when he embraces her and says that he really wants to talk to her after the funeral. She asks about what. He says that he just didn’t come back for the funeral-he came back for her. He goes over to Carrie and Sami as Nicole stares at him in delight.

    -Bo and Roman ask Caroline where their aunt, Molly Brady-Murphy, is. Caroline says that Molly called and said she couldn’t make it and mentions how Molly has never cared too much for family gatherings. She only cares for herself and losing Colin made her worse. She is even more out of control. The only time her or Shawn Sr ever saw her is when they went to Ireland themselves to see her and even then she was MIA a lot of the time. Before she can go into more detail, Fr. Jansen enters and is ready to begin Shawn Sr’s, Mickey’s, and Claire’s funeral. Meanwhile, outside, the person stalking John and Marlena continues to do so as the mysterious man from the bus station arrives at the church and looks in on the happenings.

    -The funeral then begins as Fr. Jansen says an opening blessing and the screen focuses on the large pictures of Mickey, Shawn Sr, and Claire near their coffins as their loves ones look on lovingly in tears as the screen fades to black.

    FEBRUARY 6, 2008-EPISODE #430: RELATIONS PART II


    ILLINOIS STATE PENITENTIARY

    Marlena sits down and starts telling Roman that she is bringing him out. She starts counting backwards from 10 to one once again and when she is finished......Roman opens his eyes and asks if he hurt her. She says no.....he just scared her a bit. He says how sorry he is for that. She asks him if he remembers anything and he says someone was trying to put him under anesthesia to perform some type of surgery. Marlena ask if he is sure and he says yes. She tells him it’s good that they are making some progress.

    Roman hopes so. Next thing he knows, Roman says.......

    Roman: You may tell me that I revealed I’m half Brady/half DiMera.

    Marlena takes his hand gently, sits in front of him, looks lovingly into his eyes and in a very sweet, quiet, gentle voice, tells him....

    Marlena: Roman.........my darling............I would never, EVER........tell you some stupid [!@#$%^&*] like that.

    Roman thanks Marlena for that. He then wants to continue but she says no. He has been through a lot in the last day or so. Roman says he has nothing but time now and has nowhere to go. Marlena and he laugh and she says that, if he’s feeling up to it, she’ll come back tomorrow and they can continue then. He thanks her once again as they hug and part ways.

    Once Roman is alone, he wonders what has happened to him.......and what Stefano did to him 2 decades ago.

    Meanwhile, in front of Salem Place...

    SALEM PLACE

    Anna is walking back through the shopping mall, coming from a business meeting, when she spots Carrie with Evan. They stop and Anna remarks how good Evan looks. Carrie thanks her and Anna says that she is sorry they haven’t seen much of each other. But, she understands with recent events. Carrie just tells her to take things slow, which Anna agrees with. Anna then asks to hold Evan for a moment.

    Carrie agrees and Anna picks up and holds her grandson for the first time. Evan smiles at Anna and plays with her necklace as Carrie smiles as well......and is genuinely touched at how Anna is reacting. Anna then looks at Carrie and gives Evan back to her and thanks Carrie for this moment. She then says a quick good-bye......

    Before running off and wiping the tears from her face. Carrie can see her from a short distance and tells Evan that he will like getting to know his other grandmother. As she puts him back in his stroller and they leave........


    HORTON HOUSE

    Mike walks into the family home, taking off his scarf and seeing everyone there. He starts to tell them about the meeting at the Pub and Julie wonders if Jack should send Abby away with what is about to happen. Mike says that he is already doing that. Alice remarks that she is really sick of all the threats to her loved ones. She wants to know why Stefano and the others just can’t let people live in peace. Doug would like to know that answer himself. Julie says it’s a good thing the fighting has stopped. Laura and Bill agree.

    Julie then says that she and Laura need to go help Maggie get the club ready and the men volunteer to help. Alice also asks to go along and Mike says he will help her. She needs to get out of the house. As the Horton's start to get ready and leave........


    SALEM PARK

    Cassie sees Tony walking toward her in the park. They stop a moment and hug one another deeply, with her saying she misses him. Tony says that is why he wants her to come live with him......and away from her grandfather. She says that will not happen.......Stefano accepts her for who she is. Not who Tony demands her to be. Tony doesn’t agree with that but Cassie says would a good person commit a hit-and-run and not say a word?

    Tony used to think there may be no hope for her......but knows differently. She ask why......because he turned out to be so soft? Tony is offended, saying that it takes a strong person to turn their back on what a man like Stefano has to offer......and he should know. Tony wants the DiMera name to stand for something other than kidnapping, brainwashing, terrorism and murder. Cassie stops and ask....

    Cassie: Are you planning on removing Papa as head of the family?

    Tony stares at Cassie and then looks away, trying to duck the question. She says she knew it. Well.....if he tries, she will join Stefano in stopping him. Tony can’t believe that she is so blind. Cassie says money and power will do that. Cassie turns and leaves and Tony says to her....

    Tony: If you tell your grandfather........what happens will be on your shoulders, my darling. Can you live with that?

    Cassie stops but doesn’t turn around......because she doesn’t want Tony to see her wiping the tear from her eye as she walks off.

    Tony then turns his back and starts to walk away, wondering what did he do this time. The scene shows the two walking way from each other......and slowly faded to black.

    2/7/06

    By PhoenixRising05,

    2/7/06 (short episode today-just montages and eulogies so since I am behind I decided to give an outline of what happened since its hard to given this won’t be onscreen even though I wish it would be and if it were it would be a 2 hour show)

    -Belle, Shawn, Mimi, Billie, John, Marlena, and Hope give eulogies for Claire. We then see a short montage of Claire’s short life set to the song "Baby Love.”

    -Caroline, Kayla, Kimberly, Shane, Abe, John, Marlena, Shawn, Carrie, Bo, Sami, Hope Frankie, Max, and Roman give eulogies for Shawn Sr. Bonnie comforts Roman who almost breaks down but once again stays strong for the family. Caroline breaks down at the alter and nearly spills her secret. Victor shocks everyone when he gives a eulogy for Shawn Sr. Caroline looks at Victor lovingly afterwards which unnerves Roman. Rex gives a eulogy as well and speaks for himself and Cassie. We then see a montage of flashbacks of Shawn Sr set to some Irish step music, something Caroline says Shawn Sr would want since he was always happy and wanting to celebrate.

    -Sarah, Melissa, Don, Bill, Alice, Mike, Laura, Lucas, Jen, Frankie, Marie, Tommy, Jessica, Hope, John, Doug, Julie, Marlena, Shawn and Bonnie give eulogies for Mickey. Bonnie sees Maggie and embraces her in an emotional moment and apologizes for everything. Its time for Maggie, who has been silent and just coldly staring at the caskets through the whole service, to give her eulogy. She mentions not writing one and then speaks of Mickey. She then goes on into a long rant about her role in his death, along with Shawn Sr’s, and nearly comes close to mentioning the night of Zach’s hit and run which makes Lucas nervous and Sami on the edge of her seat. Caroline stands up and insists its not her fault, as does Lucas and many others. Maggie then breaks down hysterically as maintains its all her fault and that she should be punished for everything. She collapses on Mickey’s casket and pounds on it, which nearly tips it over. All this worry and mourning is tempting Lucas to drink as he constantly thinks about that during the service. Maggie thinks about it too but somehow keeps her mouth shut about it. Maggie sits down with Melissa and Sarah and we then see a montage of Mickey (mostly John Clarke’s) set to the song “Amazing Grace" which is sung by Chloe. The montage ends with a procession to the cemetery where everyone says final goodbyes, including Caroline and Maggie and Belle and Shawn to their baby. Shawn comforts Belle as Claire’s casket is lowered into the ground. He then goes back to Mimi as John and Marlena hold Belle as they move to the other end of the cemetery with Bo, Hope, and everyone else for the other burials. Victor tries to comfort Caroline but she backs away and stares at him coldly prompting him to pull back. Maggie blames herself once again and says to Mickey that she failed him. She goes off again and begins to pound at the casket but Bo and John pull her off as Marlena, Hope, Jen, and Julie stand near her and Caroline as the caskets begin to descend. Maggie says goodbye softly but then goes into hysterics again while Caroline quietly breaks down as her children comfort her as the Horton’s and Melissa and Sarah do for Maggie. We then get an overhead shot of all the mourners as the screen goes white then black as “Amazing Grace” continues to play and the show ends.

    2/7/08: CHOICES

    By PhoenixRising05,

    FEBRUARY 7, 2008-EPISODE #431: CHOICES


    SALEM INN

    Anna returns to the suite and is shocked to see Tony there. She can see he is upset and asks if something is wrong. He first wants to know about her day. Anna says the meeting with the prospective investor had to be rescheduled and she then tells him about her visit with Carrie. She says it went well and she got to hold her grandson for the first time. It was marvelous. Tony is happy for her. Anna tells Tony she knows him and knows when something is wrong. She urges him to confide in her. Tony then fills her in on what happened when he saw Cassie.

    Anna is shocked and asks if Tony thinks she will sell him out. Tony says he honestly doesn't know and says there isn't much he can do. this is Cassie's decision and he thought he would give it time before storming over to Stefano's admitting he already called Lexie and left her messages, filling her in. Anna worries about what Stefano will do to Tony and Lexie if Cassie tells him about their plotting to bring him down. Tony admits it's worrisome but admits he is more worried about Cassie and what she will become...if she chooses to follow in Stefano's footsteps. The scene then shifts to...


    CARVER HOUSE

    Lexie and Celeste are watching Theo play and having tea. Celeste tells Lexie she is so happy they can be with each other again and talk. It's so nice to have her daughter back. Lexie agrees and says it's time to move on. Celeste is happy to hear that and happy Lexie is taking control of her life. Lexie smiles, saying it's feels good and adds she loves being back at the hospital, although her surgical rotation is rough. Abe then comes home and is shocked to see Lexie there. Everyone greets each other. Abe says he is happy they are all getting along and Theo seems much happier now too. Lexie agrees. Celeste admits she knows things may never be the same and tells Lexie she will do whatever she can to repair the damage done to their relationship and to make things right, including moving out and back on her own.

    Lexie tells Celeste she doesn't have to do that. Theo is used to her and he doesn't need anymore upheaval, especially with her and Abe divorcing. Abe agrees, saying Theo needs stability right now and tells Celeste she would be missed. There is an awkward silence. Celeste reminds Abe of how close they became. Lexie interjects and says it's fine. She says that she even gives them permission to see each other if it makes them happy. She has come to accept how close they became and is dealing with it. She admits it will take more adjustment but thinks it will be fine over time. Lexie adds that all that matters is that they are happy. Abe chimes in and says what matters is all of their happiness. Lexie agrees and thinks it may be best for him and Celeste to go out and see what happens. That way there are no regrets of what could've been.

    Both Abe and Celeste aren't so sure. Lexie assures them it's ok. She's fine and Theo will be fine too. He is still young and he's already dealt with everything else well. Lexie then looks at her watch and says she has to get going for her shift. She reminds Abe and Celeste of what she said and orders Celeste to stay put. Lexie embraces both of them and says goodbye to Theo. Celeste and Lexie then both thank each other and Lexie says she will see them later and will pick up Theo tomorrow. As they all agree, Lexie leaves.

    Abe and Celeste look at each other and talk about what Lexie said. Celeste tells Abe she thought whatever they were feeling was over but admits she was just trying to convince herself. Abe feels the same and wonders if Lexie is right and they should go out to see what happens. Celeste wonders if Lexie is really ok with it. Abe thinks she is but that it will never feel right to her completely. She will deal with it though and Abe points out Lexie is right. They owe it to themselves to explore this. After some silence, Celeste agrees and thinks the opening of Maggie's club is the perfect time to do it. Abe nods and says ok. They both smile at each other as the scene shifts to outside where Lexie is making a call...

    To Tony, who picks up his cell. Lexie tells him she got his message and asks what is going on. He tells her about what happened with Cassie and how she may or may not expose their plan to destroy Stefano and rebuild his empire. Lexie is stunned and asks what they should do. Tony says he was giving Cassie time, figuring there wasn't much he could do and hoping she makes the right decision, but thinks it's time to go over to Stefano's to see if they can do something. Lexie says she wants to be there too and will get someone to switch shifts with her. She adds that she will meet him there. Tony agrees. They hang up. Tony tells Anna what is going on and Anna says she is going with him and just hopes Cassie makes the right decision. They race out the door as the scene fades to...


    DIMERA PENTHOUSE

    Cassie walks around the living room, recalling her encounter with Tony and learning about what he and Lexie were up to. She remembers Tony's words and is clearly torn. She then wonders what she should do and if she should tell Stefano. Stefano then walks in and asks what she is talking about. Cassie can't see to say anything to cover her tracks and is flustered. Stefano asks what is wrong, pointing out he can see she is upset. Cassie says she doesn't feel well and tries to walk off but Stefano grabs her, pointing out he overheard her and wants to know what she is keeping her. He tells her he can feel her trembling and says he needs to be able to trust her. He reminds her of her desire to be involved in his business and be a true Dimera. He tells her he needs to be able to trust her and that means telling him right now what is going on. Cassie is shaking and says she can't. Stefano is stunned as the scene shifts to...


    DEVERAUX HOUSE

    Jack and Max put the last of the luggage in the car. Shane comes over and says that Forrest and Miranda are out at the safehouse making sure everything is set. They all walk into the house and tell Abby they will be leaving within the hour. Abby says no they aren't. She isn't going, at least not now. They are stunned. Shane reminds her of the danger she is in. Abby pulls out the newspaper and points to an article on Maggie's club opening tonight. She reminds Max he is Maggie's partner. He can't not be there on opening night. Max says it's ok. He talked to Maggie. Abby doesn't care. This is a big deal for him and Maggie and he needs to be there. Jack adds she needs to be protected and reminds her this isn't just about her...it's about JJ too.

    Abby says she knows but they can go first thing in the morning and put guards on JJ tonight. She knows Max wants to go with her so her going out there means he will too or that he will be too distracted. She begs them to just give her one night. She adds that there will be many people there, including all of their family and friends, many of which are cops. She also adds that if Lawrence wants her, he is going to find a way to get her. Shane doesn't believe that. Abby then begs again for them to just delay leaving until tomorrow. Max points out Abby isn't going to back down. Shane looks at Jack and Jack caves, saying one night and that is it. She leaves first thing in the morning. They will then stop by the Pub for Max to say goodbye to his family and then it's off to the safehouse. Abby agrees.

    Shane hopes she knows what she is doing. Abby says she does...and says she is doing it for Max. Max smiles, saying he doesn't want anything happening to her. She insists it won't. They embrace. Shane says he will get some guards to put on JJ and will let Forrest and Miranda know what is up. Jack looks at Abby and Max embracing, hoping his daughter's decision isn't one she will regret as the scene shifts to...


    ORPHEUS SECRET PALATIAL HOME(on the outskirts of Salem)

    Joey finishes lunch and puts the dish in the kitchen sink. Nicole comes over and mentions that he hasn't talked much today. Joey says he doesn't want. Nicole asks what is wrong. Joey says it's nothing. Nicole can see he is upset but understands if he doesn't want to talk. Joey sits on the couch and says he just feels embarrassed about last night and him crying in her arms like that. Nicole points out he is going through a hard time and it's understandable. Afterall, he has been keeping it all inside. Joey says it's on purpose. He always had to be the man of the house with his mom and grandma. He wanted to show he could take care of them and himself since they had enough to do.

    Nicole says he is a child and shouldn't have to be that way. He should be enjoying life before responsibilities hit. Joey admits he doesn't know what to do. He's scared and doesn't like to say that. He doesn't want anyone to know he is scared. Nicole says it's ok to be scared. Everyone is at times and many keep that to themselves. Joey asks if she's scared now. Nicole is silent. Joey says he knows she is running from some people and hiding out and asks if she is scared about what may happen. Nicole looks at Joey and says she is scared. Not just of those after her...but scared of herself. Who she is. What she has become. Joey doesn't understand.

    Nicole thinks it should stay that way and tells him to just play his video games or something. She has some stuff to do. She gets up and walks off. Joey then yells out to her. Nicole turns around. Joey tells her thanks...for everything. He never thought he would find someone who really cared about him and what happens to him again and he can see she does, whether she says it or not. Nicole is silent and doesn't do anything but nod. Joey smiles and turns his attention to his video games. Nicole watches him and can't help but smile as the scene shifts back to...


    DIMERA PENTHOUSE

    Stefano tells Cassie that lying to him would be making a big mistake. Defiance and disloyalty will not be tolerated. Cassie doesn't know what to do and tells Stefano she is confused and doesn't want anyone to get hurt. Stefano reminds her of all he has done for her. The opportunities he has given her and will give her. Cassie looks at him as he tells her that he can give her the world. All the power she desires. He tells her betraying him would be throwing all that away and she is close to doing that now. Cassie thinks for a moment and then softly murmurs:

    Cassie: He's my father. How can I...
    Stefano: Ah. So this is about your father. Cassie, if this is an important matter that affects me and my business, I must know about it. I know he is your father and you should love him. However, he is holding you back. I will help you realize your true potential. I will make you all you seek to be. You know I can, Cassie. You know I speak the truth.

    Cassie thinks for a moment and, with tears streaming down her face, tells Stefano about how Tony and Lexie's have been planning to bring him down for months and rebuild the Dimera empire. Stefano is stunned and becomes enraged. He calls them traitors. Cassie puts her face in her hands, wondering what she has just done. Stefano says she did the right thing and asks how she found out. Cassie tells him about her visit with Tony as Tony and Anna are showed in by a maid. Tony and Anna both look at a emotional Cassie. The look says it all as Tony realizes Cassie has told Stefano everything. Anna looks on with worry as an enraged Stefano tells Tony he does know everything...and that is not good news for him and Alexandra.

    A worried Anna holds Tony close as Cassie watches on, fighting back tears, while an angry Stefano engages in a tense staredown with Tony as the scene slowly fades to black.

    By PhoenixRising05,

    2/8/06

    -Everyone is now at the Brady Pub for the reception. They all toast to the lives of Shawn Sr, Mickey, and Claire. Pete says goodbye to Melissa and everyone else as he leaves. Mike, Jeremy, Laura, and Bill all head for the airport too after saying goodbye to Carrie, Lucas, Jen, Abby, Alice and the rest of the Horton’s. They promise to visit more. Same goes for Marie, Sandy, and Tommy who all leave as well. Don prepares to leave but is very concerned about Maggie. The same goes for Melissa and Sarah who both need to leave to catch planes home. A storm is threatening to delay tons of flights and they all want to get out before they get stuck. Maggie stays quiet but does somehow muster up enough control to say goodbye to those leaving. She says goodbye to Don too who says he will be back soon to visit. Same goes for Melissa and Sarah, both of whom consider staying but Maggie talks them out of it. They are happy to see Maggie reacting to them and talking finally. Little do they know that the reason why Maggie is coming out of her depression is because she is eyeing the liquor behind the bar. She tells Melissa and Sarah she will be fine. They say goodbyes to everyone and leave. Jessica and Joshua Fallon give their condolences again and leave. Spencer and Steven prepare to leave too. Julie reminds Steven of what she asked him earlier. She wants to know who Spencer’s mother is. Steven says its not her concern. They say their goodbyes to everyone and leave. Julie is intrigued.

    -Sami keeps an eye on Lucas and Maggie. Lucas again tells her to back off. Sami and Austin continue to wonder what is going on with Carrie. Carrie mingles with her relatives. Kim and Kayla ask her about Austin. She tells them that Austin and her are through. Austin overhears and jumps in demanding to know once and for all what is going on. It now becomes clear that the mystery man who just arrived in Salem via bus has a connection to Austin, Sami, and Carrie.

    -Lucas catches Maggie eyeing the bottle. She sneaks behind the bar but Lucas stops her and urges her to resist. He admits he is tempted too but they can’t fall off the wagon again, especially after what happened the last time. Sami watches them as Lucas comforts Maggie who continues to be hard on herself and filled with grief.

    -Eric catches up with his family. He asks Sami what she is up too but gets no concrete answer. He catches up with John and Marlena too and says he is happy that things are going better. The mystery person continues to watch them. He catches up with his father too and is shocked to see him with someone like Bonnie. Nicole notices that while alone Eric looks weak and has trouble with his balance. She eventually confronts him on it but he says he can’t talk about here. He takes her outside. He tells her he came back fro the funeral but also for her. He needs her and still loves her and didn’t like the way he left things. He said he needed to come home to Salem to be with his family and the woman he loves. He asks if she will still have him and she admits she still loves him. They kiss. Nicole asks again about why he looks and acts sick. Eric says he hit his head and sustained a concussion so he hasn’t been good on his feet lately. He says he is fine now and that his grandfather’s death made him realize how short life is. He needed Nicole and now he is back to stay. She offers him a job at ARC (Austin Reed & Co) as a photographer and says Austin wouldn’t mind and Sami wouldn’t either given who it is. Eric agrees if its ok with everyone. Nicole asks Austin who agrees and thinks it would be great. Sami is happy too but not happy to see him back with Nicole, Ditto that for Roman and Marlena. Eric insists its ok and that his life is perfect now that he is back with his family, friends, lover, and in Salem for good.

    -Hope asks Bo where Billie is. He says she went home and didn’t want it to be uncomfortable. They catch up with Kim and Kayla. Abe and Celeste do the same. Celeste starts to have visions of people arguing and yelling and says that lives will change tonight. Lexie asks them both about their closeness. Abe says they are just friends. Lexie doesn’t like it. A Dimera driver then comes in to ask Lexie when she will be ready to go. Abe and Celeste are shocked that Celeste’s vision came through-Lexie is back in the Dimera house. Celeste insists that the rest of her vision will come true too-she will go back to her Dimera ways. Abe is disgusted. Lexie tires to reason with him. Abe then blurts out everything about Lexie and Tek’s affair and the circumstances of his death. Everyone at the pub focuses on Lexie and Abe as they now know about her infedelity and move back into the Dimera mansion. Hope and Jen comfort her and are very forgiving, as are many of the Horton’s and Brady’s who really try not to take sides. They try to encourage Abe to forgive Lexie but he just walks away as Celeste comforts him, unnerving Lexie again.

    -Shawn and Mimi talk about their wedding with the Brady’s and Horton’s. Everyone is very excited. Belle is growing jealous though. Marlena and John try to help her through it as Bonnie continues to gloat. Marlena warns Bonnie to stop making this worse for Belle or she will have her to deal with.

    -Rex, Cassie, Chloe, and Brady all catch up with everyone too. They leave to catch their flights too but not before saying goodbye to their loved ones. Mimi is heartbroken when Rex doesn’t even say goodbye to her. Shawn comforts her. Meanwhile, Cassie vows to get revenge on Mimi one day and all those in Salem who hurt her and her brother. Privately, Rex admits he still loves Mimi and that is why he was so mean and cold hearted today. He can;t bear to see her with Shawn. Rex and Cassie leave, as do Chloe and Brady.

    -Victor tries to comfort Caroline but she pulls away. She avoids him by catching up with Kim, Kayla, Shane, etc but he keeps pulling her aside. He knows she needs him but is afraid of their secret coming out. Roman catches them and picks a fight with Victor. Bonnie helps stop it and comforts Roman. Victor and Caroline talk behind the bar as he pledges his love to her and vows to be there for her no matter how hard she fights it. She worries about their secret and says she can’t run the risk of someone overhearing. Celeste then tells Abe that secrets are about to be revealed that will change lives. At that very moment, Victor and Caroline realize that Sami has overheard their whole conversation. She blurts out in amazement how they kept their affair in the castle from everyone and it is overheard by everyone. It stops Austin and Carrie’s conversation over what is going on with her too. Everyone in the room is stunned. Meanwhile, during all this, Maggie grabs a bottle of Irish whiskey and runs out of the pub. Lucas is the only one that sees her and follows her. Everyone else remains in the Pub though. The Brady’s are in shock. Roman lunges at Victor and punches him, sending Victor to the ground in a heap. Bo and John hold him back as Caroline realizes her worst fears are coming true. The screen then freezes on Caroline’s face as the screen fades to black.

    MAGGIE'S CLUB

    The family works to help Maggie get the club ready. They are then surprised to see Abby and Maxwell walk in. Jack follows behind as Abby says she’s not going to the safe house tonight. Jack tells everyone he’s tried to convince her otherwise but she’s as stubborn as her mother, which Abby takes as a huge compliment. She wants to be there for the big opening and Lawrence or anyone else won’t stop her. Julie tells her it’s too dangerous and Max says it’s no use. They’ll get her out of town in the morning.


    DIMERA PENTHOUSE

    Tony and Anna just look at Cassie. Alexandra walks in, wondering what just happened, and Tony tells her. She walks over to Cassie and congratulates her.......finally, Stefano has a descendant he can be proud of. Stefano can’t believe it, saying...

    Stefano: After everything I’ve done for you all.....to betray me like this.......
    Tony: You really have your nerve, old man. Betray you?! You have made ALL of our lives a living hell for 30 years!
    Stefano: How can you speak to me this way?
    Tony: Because you deserve it.
    Lexie: After what you’ve done.......you’re lucky any of us are even standing in the same room with you.
    Stefano: You all......disgust me.
    Anna: And I curse the day I ever met you. Guess you forgot how you had Tony, Renee and me living under your roof. And for what?! To prove who should receive your fortune. You bastard.
    Stefano: Tony...........you are dead to me. Just remember that.
    Tony: Gladly, Stefano. Good thing I know this. Now........I won’t have to get you anything for Father’s Day.

    Tony looks at Cassie and walks over to her. With one tear falling down his cheek, he tells her......

    Tony: My dear........you have no idea what you have done here today. But, when that man leaves you ruined in the streets........don’t come running to me.

    Tony, Anna and Alexandra turn to leave. As they do.......Cassie runs out into the hall, begging them not to go. Stefano walks out behind her, wondering why she wants these turncoats to stay. Cassie can’t answer. All she can do is look at Tony’s back. He still hasn’t turned around and refuses to do so. Cassie says she only did it because there is another war coming their way.......and Stefano says that this time, everyone may be ruined by it. Lexie and Anna look at Tony, who turns to face his father and little girl.......

    And he tells them both that for all he cares, whatever they get they deserve. He’ll be damned if he ruins his life because of some garbage Stefano got involved in. Stefano spits at Tony and Tony rushes over and grabs Stefano by the collar as the ladies try and pull them apart. Tony then says to a shocked Stefano......

    Tony: I have never forgiven you for what happened........to my mother on that island all those years ago. And........I will spend my life making you pay for that........dear Father.

    Tony shoves Stefano against a wall and turns, walking out the door with a seething rage that makes everyone fearful.


    ORPHEUS SECRET PALATIAL HOME(on the outskirts of Salem)

    Nicole walks into the bedroom and sees Joey reading. He asks if she will read with him and she says she’s too busy. She then turns her purse over on the bed and rifles through it, looking for anything she can hock to get money and get the hell out of Salem. Joey sees her doing this, shakes his head, and gets up and goes into the other room. Nicole calls out to him after a few minutes but he doesn’t answer. She goes to the bedroom door and calls again.

    Nothing.

    She starts walking down the hallway and goes into his room. She doesn’t see him. She gets worried, thinking he has ran off. She runs to her bedroom, throws her shoes on, and runs out the bedroom door......

    And runs straight into a sight she never thought she would see again. She sees Joey, walking into the room, with a huge smile on his face. He is sucking on a lollipop and Nicole stares at the person who gave it to him as this person walks into the room.....

    Person: CLICK HERE TO SEE THE PERSON!!! Well.........aren’t you going to say hi?

    The person smiles at a shocked Nicole and the scene freeze frames on her face........

    And slowly fades to black.

    2/9/06

    By PhoenixRising05,

    2/9/06

    -Lucas and Maggie have it out outside the Pub about her stealing the whiskey from the bar. He takes it away from her and then finds himself tempted to take a drink. He resists and consoles Maggie, who breaks down in his arms. They hear yelling inside and learn of Caroline’s affair with Victor in the castle and her never telling anyone, including her husband. This worries Maggie since its yet another reminder that secrets always come out. Lucas tells her to calm down but privately worries along with Maggie about people learning about the drunken escapade Maggie and he had.

    -Victor gets up after being hit. Roman lashes out at Victor. Caroline tells him to calm down, as does Bo. Roman asks if it was true. Caroline breaks down and confesses. Everyone is shocked. Victor urges everyone to blame him not Caroline. Roma attacks him again. Bonnie and Bo try to calm him. Caroline is shocked when Kayla, Kim, and Bo all understand that Victor and her did have a great love and its perfectly understandable that it would be rekindled given how they were in close proximity for so long. They also forgive Caroline for lying given Shawn’s Sr’s heart condition. It would not have been wise to tell him and she was merely protecting him and trying to keep the family together. Roman is shocked that everyone understands but then Sami steps forward and says she doesn’t. Victor reminds everyone that Sami never has liked him because he has always given her a taste of her own medicine and Sami is always one to gloat about other people’s faults. Sami is offended and walks out. Roman gets angry. Kim, Kayla, Shane, Bo, Hope, Abe, and Bonnie try to calm him but it fails. Roman throws a chair at the wall and says he will never forgive his mother for her betrayal of his father for a second time. Bo takes this as a dig at him but Roman says its nothing to do with him. Its has everything to do with how his mother can’t keep her hands off of Victor. He saw it happening on the island and now its manifested. He walks out in a rage with Bonnie in hot pursuit. Caroline is heartbroken. Victor decides to keep his distance and leaves the room. Kayla and Kim hate to leave now but they need to make their flights. They promise to visit. Kayla and Stephanie promise to to visit after her modeling gig in Paris is over and Kim and Shane promise they will bring Andrew and Jeannie around more often. They say goodbye to everyone. On the way out, they see Roman all alone and say a heartfelt goodbye to him. They beg him to forgive Caroline but he is too angry to listen. Her embraces them all and tells them he looks forward to seeing more of them. Shane tells Roman, Bo, John, and Abe he will keep in touch. Before getting in the taxi, Shane tells John there is rumblings in the Dimera organization about something big going down and to watch his back. John takes the warning as someone continues to watch him.

    -Abe and Celeste decide to leave. She says there is still one more secret that needs to come out and that there is danger on the horizon. He says they need to get home to Theo. She agrees and they leave as she stares at everyone in the rest of the room grimly. Lexie leaves too and is clearly agitated by Abe and Celeste’s closeness.

    -In Statesville prison, we see Tony in a high security cell. We then see a guard that turns out to be Bart in disguise. Bart is happy to see him and informs him of how the boss’s plan is in action regarding Chelsea and Will. They won’t be back in Salem anytime soon. He also says he has Patrick locked up and still is hanging his secret past over his head. Tony is pleased but wants out of jail. Bart says it will happen soon. Tony gets angry and says that soon is not good enough-his father needs to get him out now before his revenge plans are put into action. Tony says that he has covered for his father and has made everyone believe that he killed Stefano when in reality he is very much alive. He kept the Dimera empire going until he was imprisoned and almost completed one of the grandest plans by any Dimera when he had so many beloved Salemites trapped on an island at his mercy. Bart says he will inform the boss of Tony;s impatience and will let him know when the escape will happen. He leaves as Tony tells himself that he doesn’t believe Stefano plans to get him out due to his disappoints of him so he will need to find a way out himself. He decides its time to reveal some Dimera secrets that will shake up many in Salem, but not before he uses them to get him out of prison. He laughs and says he is now on the path out of prison and back into the world.

    -Eric comforts Caroline and says he will be there for her now that he is back. Caroline is happy but wishes Eric would stay away from Nicole. She is bad news and Victor can testify to that. Eric says that he thinks Victor is bad news too. Caroline mentions Nicole’s misdeeds and how she tried to kill Victor. Eric is aware of them and says she lost her way but now is on the path to finding it and he will be there with her to help. He says that he needs her and with everything else going on it makes him need her even more. Bonnie comforts Roman and tries to calm him down. He lashes out about his family being in shambles. She forces him to go back inside with her but he tries to leave again. She urges him to talk to his mother. Marlena and Belle comfort Caroline. Belle gets jealous when Mimi and Shawn come over and Caroline seeks more comfort from Mimi then her. Marlena tells Belle to think rationally and to stop overanalyzing everything.

    -Jen, Frankie, Max, Abby, Alice, Doug, and Julie all wonder where Maggie is. Maggie and Lucas decide to go back inside before anyone notices they are gone. Lucas sneaks the bottle of whiskey back behind the bar, which Sami sees and she now wonders if Lucas has fallen off the wagon. The Horton’s are happy to see Maggie is ok. They still want to know if more is going on with her. She says she is fine and worriedly stares at Lucas. Meanwhile, Austin wants to pick up where Carrie and his discussion left off. He wants the truth about her right now. She tries to walk away and says that if he doesn’t know by now what he did then he shouldn’t know and she shouldn’t have to tell him. Nicole hears this and tells Austin she knows what is going on. Sami comes over and so does Lucas. Nicole says that Lucas knows it too and that the reason why Titan pulled out of the race for Highstyle was because of Carrie. Victor is there and hears this too and wants to know what is going on. Nicole tells Austin that Carrie is the CEO of Highstyle and that is why she is mad at him and why Lucas pulled out. It made him look good to Carrie only she found out he knew and was using it and that is why she moved in with her grandmother and out of Lucas’s. Austin and Sami are stunned, as is everyone else. Roman grabs Austin and wants to know how he could hurt his little girl. Victor is mad at Lucas too for letting other things get in the way of business. Meanwhile, the mystery man is watching Sami, Carrie, Lucas, and Austin from outside the pub. The screen then focuses on Carrie in tears with Roman holding Austin by the neck. We then see a split screen of Carrie crying and a stunned Austin as the screen fades to black.

    On the next Days...

    Kate comes face to face with someone from her past in Paris. The mystery man is revealed and commits a shocking act. Carrie and Austin have a huge face-off ending with Austin realizing he has lost her. Lexie is stunned when she comes face to face with Bart who blurts out Stefano is alive. She demands to be taken to him. Roman breaks Caroline’s heart. Something shocking interrupts a special moment between Eric and Nicole.

    2008 PREVIEW EDITION OF SL INSIDER (WEEK OF JANUARY 7, 2008)

    SPECIAL REPORT: 2008 PREVIEWS!!

    "After an adventurous and action-packed 2007, things will shift in a different direction in 2008," says EP/HW Tim Lowery. "My partner and I feel it's a good time to focus on more emotional, family/traditional-type stories. That is not to say we still won't have adventure too but the first month or so of 2008 will be like nothing we have ever done. It's very emotional and can't miss. We will also begin building a HUGE umbrella story that will tie up alot of loose ends and that is filled with mystery, intrigue, and some returns as well."

    Bo/Hope/Steve/Kayla: "The aftermath of what happened on New Year's Eve will dominate the early part of the year. Bo and Hope's trust issues that seemed solved come back to the surface. Her infidelity and discretion present the biggest test Bo and Hope have faced and the consequences of the secrets that were kept and how they came out will affect many lives. Shawn will also fit into their part of the story down the line, as will a face from Bo's past. Meanwhile, Steve and Kayla face a similar plight. Kayla and her baby are at great risk and Stephanie can't even bare to look at her father. Steve is in for the fight of his life as he faces one of the greatest challenges of his life."

    Roman/Marlena: "Roman in in jail for Orpheus' murder and Stefano is pulling all the strings. Marlena and the Brady's will fight like hell to save him while Roman finds himself being overcome by memories of his past, so much so that he becomes immersed in it. That will play a key role in our big umbrella story this year."

    Jack/Billie: "Billie's life spirals out of control as she falls back into bad habits to deal with all the problems and revelations she has dealt with of late. Jack knows something is wrong but Billie continues to push him away. He is still determined to save her and to find out what is wrong. Kate and Miranda's relationship will come into play hugely here after Kate tries on her own to save Billie. She finds herself making things worse once again and having to turn to the last person she wanted to ask for help-her estranged sister."

    Frankie/Greta: "Frankie has confessed his feelings but Greta hasn't, not wanting to jinx it. That is pivotal in January as Greta races to tell a critically injured Frankie how she feels. They have some really beautiful stuff coming and it's classic love story stuff. Greta has finally found her happiness and so has Frankie. It's going to be an emotional journey for the characters and fans."

    Sami/Lucas: "Lucas is in a whole lot of trouble after Joelle's murder and things get worse when he is linked to other crimes. Sami launches her own crusade to prove him innocent and teams up with a shocking ally. Meanwhile, a paranoid Will begins to question his sanity."

    Alyson/Belle/Philip: "Philip and Alyson's drunken night of passion was supposed to be nothing more then a one night stand yet they can't stop thinking about each other. Philip's world will get rocked when he learns a shocking bit of info and he will also find himself involved in a world of trouble when he is under suspicion of a crime. Fate will keep bringing Alyson and Philip into each other's orbit while a case of the green eyed monster strikes Belle."

    Abby/Max: "They are together and are supporting each other. They will try to have a normal relationship but shocking info Forrest brings to them will rock their world. They will face a new threat and will be quite involved in the big umbrella story too, while also being involved with their families."

    Abe/Celeste/Lincoln/Lexie: "After Lexie gives the ok, Abe and Celeste will decide to embark on a relationship but it might not be as easy as they had hoped. Meanwhile, Lexie is back at the hospital and begins her surgical rotation. She will find herself striking Lincoln's fancy and a bond begins to develop."

    Tony/Anna/Stefano/Cassie: "Stefano learns of Lexie and Tony working together to bring him down and "fix" the Dimera dynasty, leading to them having to face down his wrath. Cassie turns her back on Tony and Marlena and is closer to Stefano then ever. Meanwhile, Anna and Carrie try to bond and proves how far she will go for her daughter."

    Victor/Maggie: "Victor and Maggie try to plan their future while also supporting and helping their family and friends. Victor's plans for Philip will be uncovered. There will be a big complete cast event in February as all of Salem gathers for the opening of Maggie's club."

    Nicole: "Nicole is in hiding as her list of enemies grows. She encounters someone who she thinks was sent from Eric and this person brings Nicole to a point where she realizes how far she has gone...but it may be far too late for redemption."

    Jean: "Jean and Alyson are on the outs and Jean will do anything to get back into her daughter's good graces. Expect her to strike up a shocking alliance and she still has at least one more skeleton in her closet."

    Mike: "He is sticking around Salem for awhile. His explained his reasons for doing so to his family...but is there another reason he purposely left out? There is more to this then meets the eye."

    Big Umbrella Story: "The seeds have been being planted for months and the buildup begins fully in January. It's a slow moving story to start but once it gets going it will involve a good deal of the cast and some big returns. It will answer alot of questions and will bring a finality to several ongoing stories. It's exciting, adventurous, and is truly edge of your seat drama that can't be missed. We are excited about it."

  10. PhoenixRising05
    4 MORE STARS OUT!!! 2 MORE TO GO!!!

    As previously reported, 6 more exits were expected at Days this week. 4 were expected on the Monday June, 19, 2006 episode and two more reportedly happen tomarrow. Here is the latest exits that occured on the June 19, 2006 episode:



    Alice Horton (Francis Reid): Quite possibly the most shocking death/exit of all. The actress had been "killed" off in 2004 by her very own donuts but was revealed alive like many other beloved characters in the SSK plot. This time, however, she met her maker for real by poisoned coffee. Insiders report she will still make appearances on holidays and the like as a angel. Reid took the news in stride and was happy to still be a part of the show in some capacity. Reid was the last original cast member and began her run on the show 40 years ago with the show's first episode in 1965.



    Mickey Horton (John Clarke): The actor, who returned in May for a limited run to tie up loose ends after John Ingle (who replaced Clarke in the role) left, is out. The show decided to write out the character permanently and brought Clarke back to close things out. It is said that this is also being done to free up the character of Maggie (Suzanne Rogers) for a new storyline in the works. Clarke retired from the show previously in 2004 and the character of Mickey has been a presence on the show since it began in 1965.



    Max Brady (Darin Brooks): This exit came as a shock as the actor was well-received and well-liked. He was also in a relationship with Chelsea Brady (Rachel Melvin). It is not known why Brooks was axed other then show insiders maintaining they want to focus on a much smaller cast.



    Philip Kiriakis (Kyle Brandt): This exit was expect as Bradnt had announced his exit a few weeks ago. It is shocking nonetheless as many thought the show may bring back Jay Johnson to reprise the role or recast the role yet again since the character is embroiled in the Cliare paternity story. However, two of the major players in that story (Shawn and Mimi Brady) are already out so that may have played a role in killing the character off. It is said this will lead to major story for Belle (Martha Madison) and Victor (John Aniston). Brandt's voice was last heard on the phone with Victor on the June 16, 2006 episode as that was his last official airdate.

    Fans should expect two exits tomarrow to wind down the end of the casting exodus. Now the question is why keep who is left? What happens to who is left? Who may return? All those questions and more will be answered soon. Show insiders assure fans to just hang in there as their patience will be rewarded.
  11. PhoenixRising05
    5 MORE STARS OUT WITH 6 MORE LEFT TO GO!!!


    The Days casting exodus continues. Hot on the heels of last Monday's deadly explosion that killed 9 characters, Days fans had front row seats to the deaths of 5 more characters and will have to sit through the 6 that are yet to come. Show reps still won't talk about the top secret goings on at the soap but have stated that the axings of all the actors being announced is confirmed and that the show will comment once things quiet down on set. Reportedly, things are tense at Days and everyone is shocked by the new writing regime's decision to focus on a smaller cast and bring on some former faves to fill in the blanks. Fans are sure to be outraged by everything going on as all these deaths are for real this time. Speculation is that 4 more deaths happen on Monday June 19, 2006 including two "stunning" deaths and that two more will bite the dust by Wednesday June 21. That day will signal the end of the exodus...for now. The show has said they will release a updated cast list and will issue summer previews at that point. They still will not comment on story at this point. Expect the show to address where all the children of Salem are this week (Will, Claire, Theo. Connor). Here is a list of the stars who were cut loose and met their maker last week (see the other cast bloodbath post for info on who got cut following the Morgan Island plane explosion):



    Doug and Julie Williams (Bill and Susan Hayes): The real life/on screen supercouple has been axed. They have been recurring for several years. No word on why the show cut them. Some insiders say it may have been done for "shock value."



    Frankie Brady (Billy Warlock): The popular actor returned to Days last year after a lengthy absence and stints on the hit TV show, 'Baywatch," and on the ABC soap, "General Hospital." It is beleived the show felt the character was played out and that his story was finished since many of those featured in his story have been axed (see below).



    Abby Devereaux (Ashley Benson): The popular young actress has been released. Show insiders felt this death was shocking as the actress was said to be one of the next big things at Days. As was mentioned before, these cuts have nothing to do with age, according to show insiders but, rather, a desire to focus on a smaller cast.



    Jennifer Devereaux (Melissa Reeves): Another shocking exit. Many insiders beleive Reeves was cut because her on screen husband, Jack, was killed off. Many also say that this may have been of her own will as her contract was up and she is close with Matt Ashford (Jack). The exits of Matt and Melissa is said to be the reason for the axing of Frankie (Billy Warlock) and Abby (Ashley Benson). Many were also stunned by the way in which Jennifer and Julie (Susan Hayes) were written off (Jennifer chose to commit suicide and took Julie to her death with her) as it was an action very uncharacteristic of the character of Jennifer and of any Horton, in general.

    Speculation also continues about the status of Deidre Hall (Marlena) given her character's demented actions of late and her contract being up in August. Marlena's behavior will get even worse as she increasingly grows out of control, says show insiders, and there are huge shocks yet to come. Might this be the grand finale for Deidre Hall? Fans need to hang in there as twists and turns and the answers they want are on the way!!!
  12. PhoenixRising05
    9 HUGE STARS OUT!!! MORE TO COME!!!! WHEN WILL IT ALL END?!!!!

    Days fans were told that this week would be shocking as the show returned from hiatus. They were also told that massive cast cuts were coming. James Reynolds (Abe Carver) and Matt Ashford (Jack Deveraux) were first (and to a lesser extend Brock Pierce's Josh was let go). Wayne Northup is out to as his character, Alex North/Stefano Dimera, was killed in May as well. Fans were told the week of June 12 would change the show forever and it has. Nine actors were killed off in a plane explosion set by beloved and now maniac character Marlena Evans Black (Deidre Hall), who revealed she was also responsible for the demise of Abe Carver and Stefano Dimera as well. This has many wondering if Hall is out too since her contract is up this summer. The show will not comment on this or anything else story-wise. However, these departures are confirmed as these actors last aired on June 12:




    Bo Brady (Peter Reckell): No doubt the most shocking exit. This was the exit being referred to as "shocking" in the rumor mill. This exit has stunned the soap world as Bo was one of the most recognizable characters on Days. Insiders speculate that the show felt it was time for Bo to exit at this point. The actor himself was "stunned" by the news.



    Kate Roberts (Lauren Koslow): Another exit that shocked the masses. Some show reps say "the character had been played out" and that the character of Kate had served it's purpose. The actress was also surprised by the news.



    Carrie Brady (Christie Clark): Another surprise since the character had major story possibilities and just returned. Carrie had just learned she was pregnant and did not know who the father was. She and her sister, Sami, were also being stalked. Insiders can't understand this axing and wonder if the show just scrapped her story all together and decided to cut their losses.



    Austin Reed (Austin Peck): The second time the actor was fired and this was shocking as well given the front burner story he was involved in (see above).



    Lucas Roberts (Bryan Dattilo): This came as a surprise again considering the story he was involved in (see above) and the fact that he is a Horton. Rumor has it the show is phasing out the Roberts/Reeds and that is the reason why the characters of Austin, Lucas, Billie, Kate, and possibly Philip (portrayer Kyle Brandt announced in April he was leaving but had extended his contract short term) have been written out.



    Billie Reed (Julie Pinson): Pinson took over the role in 2004 and her departure is not that shocking as the character was not a favorite with a good deal of fans. For reasons behind her exit, see the details on Bryan Dattilo's exit.



    Roman Brady (Josh Taylor): This exit was not too surprising considering Taylor never took off as a recast of the popular character and has had not story in awhile. This exit appears to be story-dictated.



    Shawn and Mimi Brady (Jason Cook and Farah Fath): These two exits were very shocking given they are part of the young generation in Salem and are in a front burner story right now. It appears the show is cutting cast and age is no part of the equation as the new HW wants to focus on a smaller cast and bring some former faves back. The issue of Shawn's daughter, Claire's, paternity will still come out but the show will do it without these two pivotal players.

    Insiders say the exits won't stop there. Expect two more characters to die on tomarrow's show (June 14) and two more to die June 16. Another will be killed off screen next week and as many as four others will also be killed off next week. Expect to hear the news that many former faves are returning in addition to those already returned and next week summer previews and a list of who is definitely staying will be released. The show hopes fans will stick it out-there is a great reward ahead. Since this story is clearly revisiting the SSK/Captive Island story, will there be another ruse with everyone being alive. Insiders say not this time-but there are a good deal of surprises ahead. RED HOT SUMMER DAYS IS HERE!!!

    SEPTEMBER 10, 2007: EPISODE #325: THE TIDE HAS TURNED

    SALEM INN

    As a new day dawns in Salem, Nicole sits in her suite, looking at old pictures of her and Eric. She fights back tears and wonders to herself how things went so horribly wrong. She pours herself another glass of champagne before her phone rings. She gets up and answers it. She asks the person how it's possible they couldn't find them. She then tells the person they are fired and hangs up. She then tells herself she will have to find another private detective to help her. She vows that she is not going to give up until she finds Carrie and Evan. She already lost Eric and she is not about to lose "her" son.

    BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS

    Jean asks Alyson if she has reconsidered going to Salem. Alyson tells her mother she just doesn't think it's worth it. Eric is dead and she doesn't feel like going to a place full of strangers and giving them news like she would have to give them. Jean tells her it's joyous news and it's what is best for her. Jean begs her to think about herself and Samuel's future. Alyson just doesn't want to cause trouble. Jean pledges her support and says she will be there every step of the way. She also points out that she would be doing what is right for the Brady's too. They would want to know what she has to say and they have a right to know. Alyson sees her point but worries she has waited to long. Jean assures her it will work out. She just has to have the courage to make a go of it. Alyson thinks about Jean's words while looking at a picture of Eric.


    MAISON BLANCHE, NEW ORLEANS

    Steve is holding on to Hope's arm as she dangles over a bottomless put below her. Steve struggles to hold on to her. Tony tries to help pull her up but she is slipping from Steve's grasp. Tony searches the passageway for something to help them as Steve begs Hope to hang on. Hope tells Steve to tell Bo, Shawn, JT, and the rest of her loved ones that she loves them. Steve orders GINA not to talk like that. He assures her that she will make it. Hope tells Steve he just called her Gina. Steve is speechless.

    Tony rushes back with curtains he pulled off a window in the hall outside. Tony and Steve tell Hope to grab on to the curtain. She holds on to Steve while grabbing hold of the curtain using her other hand. Steve asks Hope if she has it. Hope nods and then yells out she does. Steve and Tony then pull her up and, eventually, after a short struggle, they pull her up to safety. Hope falls into Steve's arms, crying out in relief.

    Steve: I'm glad your alright. I don't know what I would do without you, sweet thing.
    Hope: You saved my life, Steve. You too, Tony. Thank you both.
    Tony: No problem, dear.
    Hope (gets up off the floor with Steve's help): Well, let's get moving.
    Steve: Wait, you nearly died and you just want to get moving.
    Hope: Yeah. I'm fine. Your both fine. Is there a problem?
    Steve: Still the feisty little thing you always were, huh?
    Hope: You bet. Let's go.
    Steve: A real hand full that one is...
    Tony: I've dealt with worse.
    Steve: Ah...the infamous Anna?
    Tony: Yeah. Anna...well, let's get a move on.

    Tony and Steve follow Hope deeper into the passageway.

    UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL

    Roman and Bo walk off the nurses station balcony and back into the hospital. Bo tells him he is glad they talked. He begs Roman to watch his back and to not get in over his head. Bo adds that he could learn something from his little brother this time by remembering what he went through this past winter. Roman assures Bo he will be fine. Bo then gets a call from Abe, telling him to get down to the Salem Towers right away. He needs his help with Greta's hit and run. Bo tells Abe he is on his way and hangs up.

    Roman asks if there is any news. Bo reminds Roman he isn't a cop anymore. Roman snickers and tells Bo he is fine with being left out of the loop. Bo caves and says Abe didn't tell him anything but he gets the feeling something is up. Bo tells Roman he has to go but tells him to call if he needs anything and to be careful. Roman nods and wishes him luck. Bo wishes Roman the same before entering an elevator, which closes seconds later. Once Bo is gone, Roman enters the hospital staircase and makes a phone call, telling the person he is calling they need to discuss a few things before going any further.

    Meanwhile, Victor and Maggie get off an elevator with Nico. Maggie is trying to calm him down. Nico tries to do the same but Victor won't have it. He reminds them that Stefano is probably the reason why his daughter may lose her life. Maggie and Nico both understand where he is coming from but remind him he doesn't know that for sure. Victor thinks it's obvious. Maggie asks for some time alone with Victor. Nico goes to check on Greta and orders the two bodyguards nearby to keep an eye on Victor and Maggie.

    Maggie reminds Victor that Stefano always appeared to like Greta. He also thought he was her father at one time. Victor doesn't care and thinks he is behind it. Victor vows to destroy Stefano before he hurts another one of his loved ones and, this time, he intends on making good on that promise. Maggie begs Victor to leave it alone for now until they know more. A frustrated Victor reminds Maggie of her promise to stay out of his business dealings. She points out that this is not business, it's life.

    Maggie: This is all one dangerous game of cat and mouse and I don't want to see you or anyone else dead. This thing has gone on long enough.
    Victor: It's war, Maggie. Stefano started it and I am going to finish it. Same goes for Orpheus. That bastard will meet his maker soon enough.
    Maggie: There is no talking you out of this, is there?
    Victor: You should know me by now. (takes Maggie in his arms) I'm sorry to get harsh with you. This is just something I have to deal with. I can't shy away from it. It's too personal.
    Maggie: I know. I know I was supposed to stay out of these aspects of your life but it always seems like I get drawn in somehow.
    Victor: Well, maybe you need to find something to keep busy. Open up another restaurant or something.
    Maggie: I thought about it but I kind of want to handle something new. I believe if there is something for me out there, it will fall into my lap, just like you did.
    Victor: True.
    Maggie: Look at me. Your a mess and Greta is near death and here I am talking about my life.
    Victor: It's ok. I need a distraction every once in awhile.

    Nico then returns and announces that Greta is out of surgery but it appears she is in critical condition. Rich said it could go either way and her chances are still on the negative spectrum of things. Maggie tells Victor he should go see Greta. Nico notes that no one is with her as Frankie and Kayla just left her. Maggie tells Victor to go to her before it's too late. She tells him she will see him at the mansion. Victor nods and then orders Nico to take Maggie home. Nico agrees and tells Victor a car will be sent for him. Nico instructs one of the two bodyguards to keep an eye on Victor while the other leaves with him and Maggie. Victor and Maggie kiss and embrace as she tells him she is praying for him and Greta. Victor thanks her and they both profess their love.

    DIMERA MANSION

    Cassie enters the living room where Stefano is sitting right at his chest board. Cassie asks if he is ok. Stefano tells her that he is fine. He knew how Victor would react and he is more then capable of handling the situation. Cassie apologizes for messing things up. Stefano is silent. Cassie asks if he is going to say something. Stefano tells Cassie it is not a good time for them to be talking. He has much to think about and he is done discussing the situation with her for the night. Cassie thinks they don't have time to waste as they could both end up in trouble. Stefano laughs and points out he won't be in any trouble. Even if he is, he will get out of it. However, she is a different story. Cassie asks what he means and then asks if he is going to help her. Stefano looks at her and then back down at his chess board, saying he hasn't decided yet.

    Cassie breaks down in tears and begs him, reminding him that he called her "granddaughter." Stefano points out she is not a Dimera by blood and she has failed him greatly. He saw so much potential in her and now all she is bringing him is more problems then he needs. Cassie promises Stefano she will do better and that she will make up for her actions. She notes that she can't do that if she goes down for Greta's hit and run. Stefano shrugs his shoulders and finished his game of chess. He then gets up and tells her they will talk but he is tired and needs some time. Cassie asks again for assurance he is going to help her in some way. Stefano doesn't answer and walks upstairs. Alone, Cassie breaks down in tears, certain she has lost her chance to be a part of the Dimera family and that she has punched her ticket to prison.

    SALEM TOWERS (OUTSIDE)

    Bo shows up at the scene of Greta's hit and run and meets up with Abe. Abe tells Bo they collected some headlight and windshield glass a few yards away and they have a witness who gave a pretty decent description of the car. Abe tells Bo that they are putting all the info together and then they can see if they can trace the car back to any of the suspects they have in mind right off the bat. Bo thinks this is a big break. Abe agrees, saying that he thinks it won't be long before they have the person who hit Greta in custody.

    UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL

    Victor enters Greta's room in ICU. The color from his face drains when he sees Greta hooked up to countless machines, along with most of her face being bandaged. He surveys the rest of her as tears well in his eyes. He then sits down and gently takes her hand.

    Victor: I guess this is why we kept our secret, huh? Of course, you were in enough danger as a princess. (looks at Greta lovingly) I'm so sorry this happened to you. I was afraid this would happen once someone found out you were my...my....daughter. I guess that is what happened or maybe it was something else. I don't know (fighting back tears). What I do know is you have to fight! You have to show that strength of yours. I know you have it. You've been through so much already and came through...you can do this. I...lost my Isabella. I lost that chance to be a father to her. I don't want...to...lose this one. We haven't had any time, Greta. No time at all. I want to hear you talk about what you've done, where you've been, what goals you have...my God, most of all, I want to see that sweet smile of yours. The one that lights up a room when you grace it with your presence. I don't know what all of us...what I...would do if I didn't see that smile...if I didn't see you...alive and showing that vibrant spirit of yours. Your so giving and loving. You have so much more love and kindness to share. This can't be it, Greta. YOU HEAR ME?! DON'T LEAVE ME!!! (breaking down in tears) PLEASE!! NOT NOW!!!

    Victor then wipes his tears and looks up to the heavens.

    Victor: Isabella, I know you are up there, watching over us. (looks at Greta) I missed my chance to be a true father to you. I feel guilt and sorrow for that everyday of my life. Not a day or moment goes by where...I don't...think about you. (wipes away tears) I don't know what you can do, if anything, but...see what you can do about Greta. I can't lose another daughter. I can't lose another chance. I can't lose her. Please...help your father, Isabella, if you can. (looks at Greta and kisses her on the forehead over her bandage) You listen, your a Kiriakis. You don't give up. You can't. I know you are going to...you have to. YOU HAVE TO, GRETA!!! (breaks down in tears and kisses her hand repeatedly) You have to, my sweet Greta. My beautiful, sweet Greta...

    The camera then pans up above to show Victor as he rests his head on Greta's right side as the sounds of his cries for her can still be heard.

    NORTH SIDE OF SALEM (ONE OF VICTOR'S CARS)

    Maggie is in the back seat when a loud noise is heard and the car comes to a screeching halt. Nico orders Maggie to stay insider but she doesn't listen. She gets out and sees that the engine is smoking. Nico and the bodyguard look it over and can't seem to fix or figure out what is wrong. Nico calls AAA as Maggie leans on the car, hoping it doesn't take long as she wants to meet Victor at the mansion when he returns. He figures to be upset. Nico tells her she will as it's likely Victor hasn't even been picked up yet. Maggie looks around and notices all the old buildings around her, some still in fair condition and others in horrible condition. She notices the building directly next to the car and remembers it as the old SALEM CLUB. She remembers how it used to hop on weekends and was the place to be in Salem. She then looks at the building and thinks it's a shame as it has potential. It just needs alot of work.

    Nico announces that AAA is on its way. He tells the bodyguard to be on the lookout and asks Maggie if she is ok. Maggie nods. Nico then looks at the building and notes how rundown it's become. He says he can't believe it's the same place that used to be the Salem Club. Maggie says she can't either but thinks it can be great again with a little work and the right people taking over. Nico agrees but wonders who would want to take on fixing a dump like that. Maggie looks at the building and remembers what she said to Victor earlier about how if there is something out there for her, it will drop in her lap. She studies the building some more and wonders to herself if this could be it.

    SALEM INN

    Nicole hangs up the phone, frustrated that she can't find any private detectives to help her immediately. She looks at a picture of Evan and promises she will see him soon before taking another sip of her champagne.


    BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS

    Jean waves her hand in front of Alyson's face, asking where she is as she seems like she is a million miles away. Alyson shakes her head and apologizes, saying she was thinking about what she said and all the factors that are at play. Jean asks if she has come to a decision. Alyson nods and tells her she thinks she has. She wants to go to Salem and meet with the Brady's. She thinks it's time to knew about her and Eric. An overjoyed Jean embraces her, assuring her she won't regret this. She only wishes she had done it sooner. Alyson hopes she doesn't come to regret it and just wants it all to go smoothly. Jean thinks it will and can't see how it won't. She promises to be there to help in any way. Alyson thanks her. They embrace. Jean then says they should get packing and motions to Alyson to follow her. Alyson does and they both go into their bedrooms and begin to pack.

    MAISON BLANCHE, NEW ORLEANS

    Hope, Steve, and Tony make their way down the passageway. Later, they reach a dead end. Tony knows there must be a secret door or something as these passages go on for miles, at least the ones connected to the old mansion did. Tony, Steve, and Hope look for a latch or something that may open a secret entrance of some sort. Hope whispers to Steve that he never did explain why he called her Gina earlier when she was hanging over the pit. Steve says he doesn't know. It just came out. Steve looks at Hope and notices she seems worried. He asks what is wrong. Hope says it's nothing. Just as Steve is about to push her to tell him what is going on, the wall in front of them opens. Tony has pushed a cement block on the wall in, which opened the secret door.

    Tony, Steve, and Hope enter and find another passageway. They walk down it and find a room to the left. They can't open the door so Steve tries to break it down, to no avail. Tony asks if Steve has the key he gave him earlier for when he encountered secret rooms and passages. Steve pulls it out. Tony places the key in the lock and turns it, opening the door. Hope thinks it may be there lucky day. Steve smiles and reminds her of the pit drama earlier. Hope hits him on the shoulder as he snickers. Tony, Steve, and Hope enter what appears to be an old study. They look around. Tony begins to realize he has been in the room before. When he was little, his mother used to bring him down there for quiet time. She knew he enjoyed reading and it was also an escape from the world for her as well. Tony also mentions how the key that was used to open the door was given to him by his mother so he could have a way of breaking away from the real world, something she couldn't do as much as she wanted. She knew he could find peace in some of the secret rooms and passages.

    He wonders if the answers he seeks may lie in the room since it was special to him and his mother. Hope thinks it's worth a shot to look around throughly. Hope, Steve, and Tony continue to search the room. Tony looks through a shelf of several of his favorite books, opening them up to see if another message from his mother is in one. Hope walks over to a old fashioned globe and studies it. She then turns it around to look it over. Steve asks what she is doing. Hope tells him anything is possible and Daphne may have hidden something inside the globe so she is checking it out for anything unusual. Steve wonders how she would do that. Hope then notices something odd about the part of the globe where Italy is located. She asks Tony to come over. He sees it too. Tony recalls him and his mother looking at the globe and talking about all the great places to visit. They often lost track of time and spent hours talking about adventures they wanted to go on around the globe. Hope thinks they will have to smash the globe to open it up. Tony understands.

    Steve then takes the globe and begins tossing it around like a basketball. It doesn't bust. Hope suggests a pocket knife. Steve pulls his out and begins cutting in to the globe. Hope and Tony watch as Steve guts the globe, revealing that the globe is stuffed with bird feathers. Tony, Steve, and Hope are confused until she notices a steel box in the middle of the globe's feather stuffing. Tony pulls it out and thinks this may be what he is searching for. Tony, Steve, and Hope study the box as the scene fades to black.

    ON THE NEXT SALEM LIVES...

    THE CONTENTS OF THE STEEL BOX REVEALED!!

    SEPTEMBER 11, 2007: EPISODE #326: INTRIGUE

    MAISON BLANCHE, NEW ORLEANS

    Hope, Steve, and Tony continue to survey the steel box they found in the globe. Tony wonders how it can be opened. Steve wonders if the key opens it. Tony tries but it doesn't fit. Hope notes that the key seems like an awkward make as the keyhole looks rather unique. Hope asks Tony if Daphne ever showed him or gave him a weird looking key. Tony thinks back and can't recall any. He then has an idea and races over to a painting on the far left wall. He takes down the painting, which is of a gorgeous sunset in the French Riviera, and examines it. Tony explains his mother loved this painting and always talked to him about how it was created for her to give her a lasting image of one of the most beautiful sights she has ever see in the world. Tony caresses the canvas and then stops, acting as if he has found something.

    Tony flips the painting over and asks for Steve's knife. Steve gives it to him. Tony wishes he didn't have to cut in to it but has no choice. Tony takes the knife and begins cutting into the back of the painting, only to discover a unusual jagged edge key. Hope thinks that's it. Tony and Hope pick up the steel box and use the key, which is successful in opening it. Steve, Hope, and Tony are all three shocked by what they see inside.


    COAST GUARD MEDICAL CENTER (LOCATION UNKNOWN)

    Jack enters Billie's room. He tells her that he heard she is ready to be released. Billie nods and says she is happy they can finally head home. She asks Jack if he has called home yet. He says he didn't. There was so much going on that it kind of slipped through the cracks. Billie thinks they need to call first so that their loved ones will know they are alive. Jack agrees and says they will do it together. Jack pulls out his cell and dials.

    UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL

    Frankie is by Greta's bedside in ICU, holding her hand. He then hears a knock on the window and sees that it's Stephanie. He leaves Greta and exits the room. Stephanie embraces him and asks how he is holding up. Frankie says he is trying but he can't stand to see Greta like that. Stephanie apologizes for stopping by but says something came to her when she heard about Greta's hit and run and she just had to tell him immediately. Just then, Frankie's cell rings. He remembers he shouldn't have it on in the hospital but sees an unfamiliar number on the caller ID and answers out of curiosity. He is shocked to hear Jack's voice.

    Jack tells Frankie that him and Billie are alive and they will explain everything later. He just wanted to tell him so he could spread the word. Frankie is overjoyed and tells Stephanie, who also is happy. Jack tells him they should be coming in later tonight. Frankie thinks maybe Jack should surprise Abby. This way she doesn't have to go nuts waiting and wondering where he has been and so on. Jack thinks that might work, even though he hates keeping her on the dark some more. Frankie says he will keep it all a secret from Abby until they get back. Jack thanks him. Frankie tells Jack he is glad he is hurrying back. He fills him in on what happened with Greta. Jack is devestated and relays the info to Billie, who is just as horrified. Frankie tells him it isn't good and he may want to hurry to see her just in case. Jack understands and tells Frankie they will be seeing him soon. They both hang up. Jack is upset over Greta's hit and run. Billie can't believe she may die.

    Elizabeth walks in and asks if everything is ok. Billie tells her a friend of theirs is near death in Salem. Jack tells Elizabeth they will be heading back to Salem tonight. Elizabeth asks about her and Alexander. Jack tells her they will be coming with them. He wants that DNA test done to further prove Alexander is his son. Elizabeth nods hesistantly. She decides she better go find Alexander as she isn't sure he will want to go anywhere. She excuses herself and leaves. Billie asks Jack if he has noticed that it seems Elizabeth is nervous about the DNA test. Jack admits that she seems agitated when he brings it up but thinks the test will give them the answers they need. Billie nods and is glad Jack is persuing this so they will know for sure. Jack then asks what will happen if Alexander is his son. Billie tells him they will cross that bridge when they get to it.

    Meanwhile, Elizabeth enters a stairwell and finds Alexander sitting on the top step. She tells him she has been looking all over for him. He tells her that he knows Jack and Billie are going home to Salem and that she is looking for him to make sure he is coming too since she is going. Elizabeth asks if he is going. Alexander is silent for a few moments before saying he is going. He knows he would regret if he didn't. He needs to know for sure if Jack is his father for his own piece of mind. Elizabeth is pleased to hear that. Alexander tells her she isn't off the hook. No one is. He may never forgive her for not telling him and he isn't quite sure what he will do or how he will deal with all this. Elizabeth understands. She then tells Alexander they will likely be leaving tonight so he should start getting ready. Alexander nods and says he will. Elizabeth is about to say something and touch his shoulder but stops herself as tears well in her eyes while she thinks about how she has hurt her son. Elizabeth then exits the staircase, leaving behind a blankfaced Alexander, who seems lost in his own world.


    NORTH SIDE OF SALEM (OUTSIDE FORMER SALEM CLUB)

    Maggie is still with Nico and a bodyguard as they wait for AAA. Maggie continues to be fascinated with the rundown former Salem Club property. Just then, Max pulls up. He says he saw the car as he drove by and asks if he can help. Maggie embraces him, saying she is glad to see him as AAA is taking forever. Max offers to take a look at the car. Nico tells him to go ahead. After several minutes of tinkering with things and surveying the car, Max thinks they can't do anything right now. It needs to be taken to a garage. AAA then pulls up. Max says it's perfect timing and then suggests to Nico that Maggie and the bodyguard drive with him since the AAA truck only has room for really one passenger. They can just meet at his garage. Nico is ok with that and tells the bodyguard to not let Maggie out of his sight. The bodyguard nods. Maggie and the bodyguard go with Max in his car as Nico fills out paperwork.

    HORTON HOUSE

    Forrest and Abby are at the door, waving to the doctor and thanking him for his help. They then close the door. Abby thinks the first session went well and feels she made progress for the first time. Forrest says she will do even better when the new meds kick in. Abby is so excited as she feels hopeful for the first time in a long time. She just wishes her dad was back and that Chelsea wasn't in jail. Forrest tells her it will all be ok and embraces her. His phone then rings. He excuses himself. Abby tells him she is going into the kitchen to help her great-grandma with the cookies she is making. Forrest nods.

    After Abby has left the room, Forrest answers the phone and tells the person not to call him unless it's at the specified time they agreed upon. He then tells the person he knows things aren't as easy as they hoped but assures the person he is already taking steps to move plans up so no one can stop them from accomplishing the mission they vowed to complete. Forrest then displays a devilish grin as he continues his phone conversation.

    MAX'S CAR

    Max is driving with Maggie in the front seat and the bodyguard in the back. Maggie thanks Max for his help. He says it's nothing. She asks about how things are going in his life. Max thinks they could be better but he doesn't complain. He admits he is worried about Abby. Maggie admits she is too. She is vulnerable with everything going on and "Fred" isn't helping. Maggie admits that he gives her the creeps. Max tells Maggie he has a feeling that "Forr...Fred" is dangerous and he hats Abby being around him but she won't listen. Max realizes he nearly said Forrest and is thankful he caught himself as no one else can learn about "Fred's" real identity until they know Abby is out of harm's way.

    Maggie asks Max if it's possible "Fred" may not be so bad and maybe he is over analyzing or something. Max reminds Maggie she doesn't like him either. Maggie smiles and tells him he is right. Maggie thinks he may do better off just keeping an eye on Abby from a distance and focusing on other things. Max wishes her could, especially since his garage has been struggling. He hired a mechanic to help but things are out of sorts with him not being around there much the past few months. Maggie thinks he should focus more on that while also looking out for Abby. Max sees her point but admits he isn't that into the garage or racing anymore. In between everything else, he has been thinking of doing something new.

    Maggie: I know the feeling. Victor and I were discussing it earlier and I told him I was looking for something new too. I figured it would just fall into my lap if I was meant to do something.
    Max: That's usually how it is.
    Maggie: And, you know, it's funny, because I think something may have fallen into my lap. The car stalled in front of the old Salem Club building. I was just talking with Nico about how great the place used to be and how the building has major potential. It just needs work and proper ownership.
    Max: So, your thinking of buying the place?
    Maggie: Well, I don't know. I mean, it's funny how I was talking with Victor about doing something different and how fate would bring me an opportunity if I was meant to have one and this happens. The car breaks down right in front of the Salem Club building and I can't seem to stop thinking about the place.
    Max: Go for it, Maggie. You would be great. You ran Tuscany and Chez Rouge really well.
    Maggie: True but I can't do this alone. I need someone to handle the alcohol portion of running a nightclub because I do not want a relapse and I just can't see myself taking on a much bigger venture like this alone.

    Maggie's eyes then light up as she recalls something Max said:

    Maggie: Wait, you mentioned earlier how you were looking for something new and different to take on. How about...why don't...why don't you and I team up?
    Max: Wha...
    Maggie: I have plenty of money and you can just put up whatever you can. We can be equal partners and we can create a club that will be the most happening place in Salem. I mean, it's going to be alot of work but it will be fun and different.
    Max: Maggie...I don't know...
    Maggie: It can be easy money, Max. If we go about this right, it could be a hit. Plus, you could score major points with Abby by working with her aunt.
    Max: Doubt it. Sure, it would be fun and could work out well. I don't know if I want to take such a big risk.
    Maggie: Like I said, put up what you can. I will take care of the rest. We will work something out.
    Max: Well, you really want to do this now, don't you? I mean, your serious?
    Maggie: Yeah. I guess I do. So, what do you say?
    Max: Hmm...you know what? I've always taken chances so why not? Let's do it.
    Maggie: Yes! Max, I promise you that it will work out. I can feel it.
    Max: Oh yeah. Let me guess...it's all fate? Fate setting you on the right path. Fate...
    Maggie: Mock it all you want. It's true. That car broke down there for a reason and you drove by for a reason. It's all coming together.
    Max: Whatever you say, partner (smiles).

    Maggie smiles back at Max.

    UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL

    Frankie and Stephanie are both stunned and happy that Jack and Billie have been found alive. Frankie reminds her to keep it a secret from Abby until they get home. Stephanie says she will. Frankie then reminds Stephanie she was going to tell him something about Greta's hit and run before Jack called. Stephanie remembers and says she was thinking that her and Max told him and Greta last night that "Fred" was really Forrest Alamain and she wonders if maybe Forrest orchestrated or committed the hit and run to send a message for them to back off. Frankie thinks about that possibility and thinks it's a good theory. He wonders how Forrest would know that he and Greta know. Stephanie reminds him they were all at Java cafe together and Forrest was there with Abby. He may have heard them or just put two and two together or something.

    Frankie thinks it's possible but reminds Stephanie they can't tell Bo, Abe, or anyone else because Abby's life may be in danger and, if word gets out all over that "Fred" is Forrest Alamain, who knows what he may do, especially to Abby. Stephanie knows that but thinks they have to do something. Frankie thinks they just have to look into the chance that Forrest did it on their own. If they find evidence he did, they can present it over to the police and bust him and it will be all over. That is all they can do. Stephanie thinks that may work. Frankie then tells her that if Forrest did hit Greta, he hates to think of what may be in store for anyone else, including Abby. Stephanie notes that the nightmare in Salem may only get worse. Frankie solemnly nods as he looks through the window at Greta in her ICU room.

    MAISON BLANCHE, NEW ORLEANS

    Tony pulls out a torn and faded piece of paper, much like the diary entry Daphne left but, this time, it's a bit longer. Hope asks him to read what it says.

    Tony: My dear Tony, to Tuscany you must go. Your father's birthplace holds the key to something very special I am entrusting you with. You must go immediately before Stefano catches on. I had no choice but to use desperate measures to evade Stefano. My apologies for dragging you down to Maison Blanche only to find more mystery then answers. I promise you that Tuscany will reveal all. My hope is that you remain safe from the wrath of Stefano. Good luck on your continued journey, my loving son. Love, Your mother. P.S. The answers you seek in Tuscany lie in the place where love bloomed but also died.

    Hope and Steve are stunned, as is Tony. He understands why his mother felt the need to go to such lengths to protect whatever it is she wants him to find but to send him to New Orleans for yet another clue and now to Italy. Hope asks Tony what he is going to do. Tony says he has no choice. He needs to head for Italy...immediately. He can't have Stefano catching on. The sooner he goes, the better. Tony apologizes that he can't stay and help but promises to assist in any way once he, hopefully, obtains the answers he is looking for in Tuscany. Steve says it's alright. It's understandable. Tony thanks him for understanding and asks Hope if she is ok.

    Hope: I'm fine with it, especially since we're going with you, Tony.

    Tony and Steve are both shocked by Hope's words as the scene freezes on a smiling and determined Hope and then fades to black

    ON THE NEXT SALEM LIVES...

    TO ITALY WE WILL GO...OR NOT?!

    September 12, 2007: Episode #327: OUT OF THE BLUE

    BRADY PUB

    Caroline is behind the bar while talking on the phone to Frankie. She asks him to call if he needs anything or if there is any change with Greta's condition. She tells him she loves him and hangs up. She then sighs before turning to organize from liquor bottles. Nicole then enters the Pub and takes a direct route to the bar upon seeing Caroline there. Caroline turns and asks what Nicole wants. Nicole says she knows alot has happened but she needs to know if she has heard from Carrie.

    Caroline: And why would I tell you even if I had? After all you did to her...honestly, Nicole. Why are you here? You know your not welcome.
    Nicole: Hmm...yeah. Just like I was locked out of my own husband's funeral.
    Caroline: Not this again (rolls eyes).
    Nicole: Look, Evan was my son. I didn't know he was Carrie's at first. Carrie gave him up and...
    Caroline: Get your facts straight, missy!! Carrie never signed rights to him away. She simply gave him to Alan because she felt she was doing what was right.
    Nicole: Same thing!
    Caroline: No! Also, you may not have known right away but you still learned who Evan really belonged to well before anyone else and did nothing about it. You worked with Orpheus and had the chance to turn him in and did nothing. You hurt Eric so deeply before his death.
    Nicole: Correction. We hurt each other.
    Caroline: Yes, well, it was the second time that happened with you two. Now, Eric is gone.
    Nicole: And that's because of me, right?
    Caroline: Look, I have a business to run. Would you just leave?
    Nicole: Have you heard from Carrie? Do you know where she is?
    Caroline: Why would I even tell you?
    Nicole: Your a forgiving person, Caroline. I know you are. Your whole family is...well, they are supposed to be. Anyway, I just need to speak with her and just seeing Evan would...
    Caroline: You expect me to believe you simply want to see Evan and talk to Carrie? I know you, Nicole. You will try something. This is all moot anyway. I have not heard from Carrie nor do I know where she is. Now, just leave.

    Caroline returns to organizing the bar as Nicole chastises herself for even bothering to ask Caroline. No one is going to help her and she has no idea what else to do. Nicole says that Evan is all she has left. Her phone then rings and she walks off to take the call in private.

    Meanwhile, outside the Pub, Jean and Alyson walk up. Jean tells her that it looks like the directions they got were right. They are standing in front of the Brady Pub. Alyson isn't so sure she is ready or if she can do this. Jean takes her hand and says she is there for her. Every step of the way. Alyson also didn't feel comfortable leaving Samuel behind at the hotel. Jean assures her it will be ok. There are qualified people taking care of him and it's said to be one of the hotel's best amenities. Alyson thinks they should have brought him but Jean thinks it's best they do this without him since he should not be around the drama that could result in what they have to tell the Brady's. Alyson sees that Jean is right. Jean takes her hand and tells her to come with her. They will do this together. Alyson takes her hand and they enter the Pub.

    Jean and Alyson walk up to the bar.

    Jean: Excuse me, Miss?

    Caroline turns around.

    Caroline: Yes? What can I do for you?
    Jean: Do you know where I can find anyone that knows or is related to the Brady's? I know this is there Pub.
    Caroline: Are you looking for any Brady in particular?
    Jean: No. Actually, this is probably something they should all know, I think.
    Caroline: Well, I'm Caroline Brady. I own this Pub, here.
    Jean: Ah, the famous Mrs. Brady! Your chowder is quite famous around here from what we gather. Granted, we have only just arrived but it seems like a proven crowd pleaser. I'm Jean Parker and this is my daughter, Alyson.
    Caroline: I'm flattered, really. It's nice to meet you both but I'm troubled by what you said was your reason for being here. You mentioned you have something to tell my whole family. I can't imagine what would be of that much importance. Is this something bad?
    Jean: Um...depends on how you see it, I guess. Alyson, care to elaborate?
    Alyson: Uh...I don't know if I'm...
    Jean (takes Alyson's hand): It's ok, sweetheart. I'm with you. Right here. You can do this.

    Meanwhile, Nicole is sitting in a booth and hangs up her cell.

    Nicole: There is not one private detective available other then the one I fired. I'm never going to find Carrie and Evan. I've lost Eric and now I've lost Evan too.

    Nicole fights back tears as she gets up and walks off just as Alyson tells Caroline at the bar:

    Alyson: Uh...I have news. I have news to share with your whole family...about Eric.
    Caroline: Eric?

    Nicole walks by the bar and hears Eric's name, which causes her to stop dead in her tracks. She then turns and moves back towards the bar.

    Nicole: Eric is dead. You can't possibly have news about him. What's going on here?

    Alyson freezes, not knowing what to say.

    MAISON BLANCHE, NEW ORLEANS

    Steve tells Hope she isn't going anywhere. They have their own investigation to finish. Hope says that what Tony is looking for could be helpful in bringing Stefano down. Plus, they promised to help him if he helped them. Tony thinks it would be best if he went alone, just in case Stefano did catch on. Hope thinks Tony will need back up and reminds Tony of the help Steve and her provided in finding the steel box in the globe. Tony appreciates the offer but thinks it's best if they go their separate ways. Steve then realizes Hope makes a good point as it is a possibility that whatever Daphne has Tony looking for could be something to bring Stefano and his empire down. Tony admits that thought crossed his mind, which is why he is desperate to get to the bottom of this and why he feels going alone is better. He doesn't want anything to happen to them.

    Hope reminds Tony she is a cop and can take care of herself. Steve smiles and tells Tony that Hope is not going to let this go. Tony nods and snickers, saying it seems he has no choice but to let her go as she will likely find a way to go anyway. Hope smiles and thanks him, promising he won't regret it. Tony hopes not and then tells them to get ready as they need to leave immediately for Italy. The sooner they go, the less chance of Stefano being hot on their trail. Meanwhile, a mysterious person watches Tony, Hope, and Steve from outside the study.

    BACK IN SALEM...ROBERTS INC. OFFICES

    Lucas is in his office preparing for a meeting while Joelle is at her desk outside his office, looking over a copy of the "SALEM SPECTATOR." Joelle seems focused on a headline under the one that refers to Greta's hit and run, which says "SERIAL KILLER STRIKES AGAIN!!! MIDWEST STILL IN SHOCK OVER THE KILLER RAPIST'S REIGN OF TERROR." Joelle's eyes light up as she reads the article and notices where it says that Salem is one of the only Midwestern cities not to have a victim of this madman. She then gets up from her desk and peers in at Lucas before entering. Lucas sees her walk in and tells her that he has a meeting in a few minutes. Joelle says she knows but she needs a favor from him. She thought someone was outside her apartment last night and had the feeling she was being watched all night. She told her landlord and the neighbors but they thought she was nuts. She just would like him to come by her place tonight for a bit, just in case it happens again. This way she will have a witness to inform the others.

    Lucas asks her if this is a ploy to seduce him again. Joelle denies that and is appalled he would think that way as this is something not to mess around about. There is a serial rapist running around the Midwest raping women and killing them when he's done and she has a child and her mother to think about. She just wants to be safe and promises there is no ulterior motive. She begins to cry as she tells him she was so scared last night and thought it was the rapist as it seems Salem is one of the only places that this nut job has not claimed a victim in. Lucas asks why she would be a target. Joelle has no clue but tells Lucas she is really scared. She even told her mother's nurse to be on the look out and to call 911 if she hears a pin drop. Lucas looks at her intently and reluctantly agrees to stop by but tells her he will be working late. Joelle says she may be too. It depends how much she gets done.

    Lucas makes Joelle promise that she won't try anything. He reminds her that he is just doing this to help her...as a friend. Joelle assures him she knows and she learned her lesson after he rejected her last night. She isn't going to make another play for him. Lucas is pleased and hopes she means that. He then tells her that he has to get going to his meeting but he will see her tonight. Joelle says she will leave the directions to her place on his desk. Lucas says ok and says goodbye before entering the elevator and leaving. While alone, Joelle displays an evil grin and says that baiting him was almost too easy. She then uses her desk phone to make a phone call to her mother, telling her to be ready for company tonight.

    BRADY PUB

    Bo and Kayla walk up outside the Pub. Kayla is explaining to Bo that Greta's condition is still critical and that the odds still are not in her favor. Bo prays that she makes it and adds that Abe thinks they will know more soon because of the witness that gave them the car description. Kayla thinks that is good and then admits she is still worried about Steve and Hope. Bo reminds her it's only been a day but Kayla tells him she can't shake the feeling that something bad is going to happen. Bo embraces her and tells her they will be fine and asks if she would relax if he called them to make sure they are alright. Kayla nods, saying that would relax her quite a bit. Bo tells her that he will make the call in the Pub. They both then enter the Pub to see the scene that is going on between Nicole, Jean, Alyson, and Caroline.

    Caroline: Mind your own business, Nicole.
    Nicole: This is my business. I am Eric's widow and these two women claim to have some sort of news about him. I have a right to be involved.
    Alyson: Your Eric's widow? Maybe this was a bad idea...
    Jean: No, honey, don't...
    Alyson: Sorry, mom. I think we need to go.

    Alyson gets up and walks off. Jean prepares to get up and go after her but Nicole chases down Alyson and takes hold of her ferociously by the arm.

    Alyson (trying to pull arm away): What are you doing? Let go!
    Nicole: Tell me what news you have about Eric. He's by husband, damnit!!
    Alyson (struggling): Your hurting my arm. Just let go!!
    Nicole: No!!

    Nicole and Alyson struggle. Bo and Kayla race over to stop things from getting too heated. Jean tries to get in the middle and orders Nicole to let go of her daughter. Just then, Alyson finally pulls away and turns to race out of the Pub but Nicole once again grabs her arm. Alyson pulls her arm away to break free but ends up falling backward on to a table and then to the ground, bringing the table and all it's settings down on top of her. Caroline, Bo, Kayla, and Jean race to help her and pull everything off of her. Kayla tells Alyson she is a doctor and asks if she is ok. Alyson tells Kayla she hurt her leg. Alyson is in excruciating pain. Kayla wonders if she may have broken her ankle as she seems to have fallen awkwardly. Caroline rips into Nicole for her behavior and how it led to this. Nicole says she just wanted to know what news Alyson had. She put up a fight and she put herself in this mess.

    Jean turns around and tells Nicole she should've just left her daughter alone. Nicole thinks Alyson asked for it. Kayla thinks they have to get her to a hospital but thinks it may be awhile before she gets treatment as there was a car pileup downtown that has things backed up. Alyson says it's fine but she needs to do something as the pain is horrible. Kayla thinks they will be short on ambulances because of the accident downtown and asks Bo if he could help her get Alyson to the hospital. Bo agrees, saying he will just call Hope later. He mentions he has errands to run anyway. Bo and Kayla help Alyson up, along with Jean. Nicole says she will meet them at the hospital. She wants to know what news they had about Eric. Bo, Kayla, and Caroline all look at her, appalled. Nicole tells them she doesn't care what they think. She has a right to that information as Eric's widow. Bo and Kayla just turn around and help Alyson to his car as Jean follows. Caroline begs Nicole to back off. Nicole shakes her head and says:

    Nicole: No, can do, Granny!! I need to see what this mother/daughter team knows about Eric. See ya!! (walks off)
    Caroline: Nicole! Ugh...I better get someone to watch the Pub. I need to be at the hospital in case Nicole starts something.

    Caroline then races to the back of the Pub.


    MAISON BLANCHE, NEW ORLEANS

    Tony, Hope, and Steve walk into the living room. Tony wonders where Byron is as they have looked all over for him. Hope has no clue but tells Tony to just leave the note he wrote as they haven't been able to track him down. They need to get to the airport. Tony agrees but thinks it is only courteous to say goodbye and to tell Byron they are leaving. Tony shrugs it off and leaves the note on the table, saying it's time to go. Tony, Steve, and Hope exit the mansion and walk the long and winding sidewalk out front. Hope asks Steve if he called a cab. Steve nods and says it should be coming.

    Just as they have made it nearly to the end of the sidewalk and are nearing the entry gates to Maison Blanche, Hope hears something behind her. She turns and a look of horror crosses her face. Steve and Tony turn around too and see Byron facing them, aiming a gun right at them. Steve asks him what he is doing. Hope thinks Stefano must have threatened or got to him. Byron tells them that he hasn't seen or heard from Stefano but knows he would not have liked it if he just stood by and watched them digging up dirt on the Dimera's. Steve reminds him he had no problem before. Byron tells Steve he wisely thought about what was going on and realized that he and his family would be in danger if he continued to help them. He knows Tony is a Dimera and he is one who he always liked as he was nothing like Stefano, which is why he let Tony search Maison Blanche and also why he let Steve do so as well since Tony had told him to allow him too, but he has a wife and kids to think about. He can't take no chances and he can't risk Stefano finding out and his betraying him would sign his death certificate.

    Byron points the gun at Tony, Steve, and Hope. Steve tells him he doesn't have to do this. He can be strong. Steve tells Byron they can get him and his family protection. A shaking Byron says there is no other way. He knows what he must do. He has no choice and orders them to listen to him...or die!!! Tony, Steve, and Hope look at each other with worry as Byron holds them at gunpoint as the scene freezes on a split screen of Tony, Hope, and Steve and then fades to black.

    ON THE NEXT SALEM LIVES...

    CASSIE MAKES A STUNNING DECISION!!!




  16. PhoenixRising05
    SEPTEMBER 13, 2007: EPISODE #328: ENTWINED DESTINIES

    SALEM TOWERS HOTEL

    In her private, palatial suite, Anna welcomes in the private detective she hired. He sits down and looks at her grimly, telling her that he could not locate neither Carrie nor her grandson. She drops her head in sorrow. She asks him if there is any way he could have found her and overlooked her. The detective says no. None at all. Anna starts to cry but, after a few moments, wipes the tears away from her eyes, and tells the detective that she will find her daughter herself. She thanks the detective by shaking his hand and, as he gets up, she walks him to the door, saying that she may need his services in the future.

    He smiles, they shake hands, and he leaves. Anna then walks over to a picture of Tony and Stefano sitting on her glass table and says.........

    Anna: Well, time to make a deal with the devil.

    Anna wipes some more tears from her eyes, grabs her purse from off her bed, and heads out...

    To see one Stefano DiMera.

    UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL

    Marlena is putting her clothes on. Belle walks in, smiling. She tells Marlena that she is happy she got released but only if Marlena promises to take her medicine and see Barbara on schedule, as she ordered. Marlena promises to do that as she kisses Belle on her cheek and salutes her like she’s in the service. Belle just looks at her, smiles slightly, and asks if she wants to stop off and get something to eat. Marlena says that with Stefano, Victor and Orpheus out there, she finds it really odd that everyone just walks around like nothing is going on.

    Three very dangerous men are using Salem as a battleground and taking no prisoners while everyone just goes wherever they want. They go and get something to eat, sit in the park, go to the Pub, or whatever. Then, they are shocked when something dreadful happens. Belle just looks at Marlena silently and Marlena pauses, saying that she’s not having a relapse. She just thinks that people need to start taking all of this a lot more seriously, that’s all.

    Belle then asks what does she call going to see Stefano about Roman? Marlena once again pauses, saying that it is necessary to do this, especially since Roman is not confiding in her right now. If she has to use Stefano to make Roman rejoin the human race and come back to the people that love him, she will gladly do it every single time. What if, Belle asks, Stefano tries to bring up his obsession with her. Marlena says that Stefano has always hated Roman for only one reason.....

    And that is that Stefano always knew Marlena loved Roman more than her own life. And that kills Stefano each and every time.

    Belle shakes her head and says that even though she doesn’t agree with her at all, she sees where her mother is coming from. But, she tells Marlena, Roman better not find out about it. If he does......she will push him farther away and, Lord Knows, what he will do then. Marlena agrees and Belle says she’ll go with her. Marlena doesn’t like this one bit but Belle assures her everything will be fine. She tries to get Belle to leave but she is insistent, saying that Marlena will not meet Stefano alone. And, if Marlena doesn’t like it, the meeting won’t take place. Marlena waits for a moment before reluctantly agreeing. As Belle walks out into the hallway, Marlena stands back and thinks to herself.....

    Marlena: I HOPE everything will be fine.

    The nurse comes in with a wheelchair and asks if she is ready to go. Marlena says it’s time to blow this popcorn stand, jumps in the wheelchair, and leaves her room.

    CARVER HOUSE

    Celeste watches Theo as he plays sitting on the floor. She looks at the news and sees that Abe has done an interview, updating the hit and run case that has almost killed Greta. He says that the S.P.D. has some very positive leads and, when he knows something, the press will know something. Then, he excuses himself as reporters shout questions at him and Celeste turns off the television.

    Celeste sits on the couch when she suddenly gets a vision. Theo is oblivious to this as she leans forward, placing her hand on her forehead. The vision is tragic and, after a few moments, she snaps out of it. Celeste then looks around and sees Theo. She jumps up, goes and picks him up, and asks him if he would like to stay at the Bailey's while she runs out for awhile. Theo smiles and says yes and Celeste takes him upstairs to get him ready.

    Later, after dropping him off, Celeste is in her car. She is still shaken by her vision, but then says to herself......

    Celeste: Seems like all I do is have visions.

    Celeste drives at breakneck speed, racing through the streets of Salem, as she heads to the one place where she hopes she can stop the madness before tragedy strikes once again.

    VICTOR'S LIMO (IN FRONT OF UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL)

    Victor is now joined by Bo and Roman. He asks Roman point blank.....

    Victor: Is everything set?
    Roman: It is on my end. (Looking at Bo) Are you sure about this, Bo?
    Bo: Just as sure as I was when you first brought the plan up.
    Roman: (Looking at Victor) Good. Well.......let’s get going.
    Victor: Excellent. Francois................. Take us on.

    The limousine pulls out of the parking lot and heads to parts unknown. All three men are silent. Bo looks over at Roman, who is staring out the window, and asks him.....

    Bo: Man, why are you doing this?
    Roman: Because it has to be done.
    Bo: You have never seemed like the kind of man to go to drastic steps like this.
    Roman: Well........when your children are murdered by some madman and another has been given your life hell for 25 years..........changes your perspective, know what I mean?
    Victor: (Looking at Bo) I think he does, Roman.

    Bo grows silent, looks at Roman, then Victor, and then looks straight ahead. He says nothing as the limousine drives slowly in the night.

    DIMERA MANSION

    Cassie is trying to talk to Stefano, who is still giving her the cold shoulder. She walks over to him and speaks to him. She asks him if she can sit down. Stefano doesn’t even look up from his chessboard and still says nothing. With tears streaming down her face, she asks him if turning herself in will change his mind about her. Stefano continues to play chess and then, after a few moments of unbearable silence, stands up and says that he needs to go to the garden to think.

    He walks out of the mansion and into the night, leaving Cassie alone. She wipes the tears from her eyes, silently deciding that it is time to leave this family and Salem behind. With that, she stands up and goes upstairs to pack her bags.

    MAISON BLANCHE, NEW ORLEANS

    Byron stands in front of Steve, Hope & Tony with a gun. He tells them to get moving. He has a place where they can cool their heels. Tony takes a step forward, saying that he knows his father is behind this. Byron shoves the gun towards him, causing him to stop dead in his tracks. Byron says that his family is the most important thing to him so he will do what he must do. Steve quips about how sick he is of people holding guns on him. Hope askS him if he would feel better if Byron pulled the trigger. Steve looks at Hope with his arms raised, saying that he’ll just stand there with his mouth shut.

    Byron leads the group back into the mansion and then orders them downstairs. Once they are down there, he orders them into one of the dungeons in the catacombs of the mansion. They have no choice but to obey and, once they are inside, Byron locks the door. The group shout at Byron not to leave them in there but he is gone. Tony looks around the dungeon, saying that it looks very familiar. After a few moments, he says it looks just like the dungeon that Stefano held him and Anna years and years ago during the Salem Stranglings.

    Steve then walks over to Tony and asks him one question. Does he think his old man is on to them? Hope would like to know that answer as well. Tony doesn’t know but says that it will take a miracle to get out of there now.

    DIMERA MANSION

    One of Stefano’s people comes to him in the garden, telling him that Byron has Tony, Hope & Steve locked up in a dungeon at Maison Blanche. Stefano looks at this man with a look of shock, wondering out loud............

    Stefano: What the HELL is going on?!

    The scene freeze frames on his face as the scene slowly fades to black.

    By PhoenixRising05,

    SEPTEMBER 14, 2007: EPISODE #329: BOOM PART 1

    VICTOR'S LIMO

    The limousine drives to a darkened area and stops. Victor orders the driver to keep a look out and, when the driver exits the vehicle, Victor asks Roman one question....

    Victor: You sure about this, Roman?
    Roman: As sure as I was when Stefano had his doctors rip my face apart. As sure as I was when he kidnapped my twins. How about when he set Andre DiMera loose as the Salem Strangler and I was on the run for those murders? Now, Victor, you tell me.......how sure should I be?

    Victor looks at both Roman and Bo and says.....

    Victor: Sure enough.

    He then gets a phone call. His conversation is reassuring as he tells the person on the other end of the phone....

    Victor: We’re close. Everything happens tonight. Don’t worry about it. When it’s done, I’ll call you and fill you in. You take care, my friend. And give your brothers and family my best. Take care.

    Victor hangs up the phone and Bo ask who it was. Victor says that it was none other than J.R. Ewing. Victor and his father Jock Ewing were close friends and the Ewing's think Stefano has something to do with his death in a helicopter crash years ago. Victor says that he filled J.R. and Bobby Ewing in on the plans and was just confirming things with him. The list of people who want Stefano’s head may reach from Salem to Europe, Victor says.

    Bo then asks to speak with Victor alone. Roman agrees to step out and get some air. When he closes the door, Bo slides over so he can face Victor one on one. He tells Victor that this is a huge undertaking this evening. Victor says it is necessary. They were good friends once, almost close as brothers. But somehow, somewhere, Stefano changed. Victor thinks it has to do with Roman and when Stefano first arrived in Salem.

    Bo says he remembers some of it. He tells Victor he didn’t come back to Salem until after he got out of the Merchant Marines. By that time, Roman and Stefano were into it hot and heavy. Stefano was running a drug operation from behind the scenes and Roman tried to stop him. Victor says he knows. Stefano and him were on the outs then and he told him not to go to Salem and start that up but Stefano wouldn’t listen. Plus, Victor says, Stefano had this........deep resentment for Roman. He had heard that Roman was an up and coming cop in the S.P.D. and he guesses he wanted to prove a point.

    At that moment, Maggie calls Victor, asking him if he will be back in time for dinner. Victor says he can’t make it but promises to make it up to her. She is disappointed but understands. They say their goodbyes and hang up the phone.

    Outside the car, Roman stands with the limousine driver when a black 2007 Park Avenue drives up slowly. Roman pulls his gun as the driver's side window rolls down slightly. The car passes by Roman slowly and then rolls its window down all the way. Victor rolls down his window and looks to see the man inside. Bo looks out and sees the man as well as Victor smiles and nods his head. The window then rolls back up and the car guns it as it speeds off into the night. When Roman walks back to Victor’s window, he knocks on it. When it comes down, he asks Victor.....

    Roman: Ok. Who in the hell was that?

    All Victor will do is smile, look at Roman and Bo, and simply say.....

    Victor: A friend.

    Victor then sits back and smiles as Bo and Roman look at each other with surprise.

    Just then, Bo gets a phone call from Abe, telling him that they have a suspect in Greta’s hit and run. He then tells Bo that he is heading over to Stefano’s place to question him. When Bo tries to stop him, Abe says he has to go and hangs up the phone. Bo then tries to get Abe back but it goes straight to voice mail. Bo then looks at Victor, telling him that they have to get over to Stefano’s now. Abe is on his way there. Roman jumps into the car and tells Victor to high tail it to the DiMera Mansion.

    DIMERA MANSION



    Alexandra arrives at Stefano’s home, walking into the main living room. Stefano walks back in from the garden and sees her and she notices the grim look on his face. Lexie tells him that Greta is in critical condition. She has a lot of injuries. Stefano goes and sits at his chessboard with his head down. Lexie slowly walks over to him and thinks out loud, saying she doesn’t know who would do something like that to such a wonderful person. Stefano looks up but can’t bring himself to look Lexie in the face. He stands and walks over to the fireplace, saying that it was most likely Orpheus who is responsible for this tragedy.

    Meanwhile, in her room, Cassie picks up her bags, walks to the door, looks around one last time, turns the light off, and closes the door behind her.

    As Cassie reaches the steps, she can hear someone in with her grandfather. She starts to quietly walk down the stairs when she realizes that she left her favorite brush. She turns to see one of the servants ask where she is going with her luggage. Cassie replies that she is going on a trip but forgot something. When the servant asks what it is, Cassie says it is something that she has kept with her through good times and bad and she considers it a good luck charm. The servant smiles at her and walks off as Cassie turns and walks back towards her room.

    At that moment, Celeste comes barreling through the door. She is out of breath as she tries her best to speak to Stefano and Lexie. When Lexie walks over to her and asks her to slow down, Celeste tells her there isn’t time. They have to go........right now.

    When all three people turn, they stop in their tracks. Standing before them, smiling.......

    Is Victor Kiriakis.

    Victor says to Stefano............

    Victor: Well, I see I have interrupted you all as you were leaving. Do tell.......where were you all rushing off to?
    Stefano: That is none of your business, Victor. You really have your nerve to be standing in my house after what you said to me.
    Victor: Yes, Stefano. I admit that the........accidental injuries..........that my daughter suffered affected my judgment. For that, I am truly sorry.
    Stefano: Fine, fine, fine. I accept your apology. Now.............will you please go?
    Victor: Oh...........don’t let me hold you all up. I’ll let myself out. Take care...............and God Bless.

    Stefano looks at Lexie and Celeste strangely as Victor walks out of the house, smiling. He closes the door behind him and starts walking down the huge lawn towards a waiting black limousine. Just then, Victor looks down to the road to see Marlena, Belle, Abe & Anna all arrive in separate cars. As they get out, they look over at Victor, who smiles slightly and nods his head. As he reaches his limousine, his driver opens up the car door and Victor gets in. The group then watches as the limousine slowly drives away.

    Abe and Anna walk over to Marlena and Belle and ask them what they are doing there. Marlena and Belle want the answer to the very same question. After several moments of talking and spelling out what everyone is doing there, Abe orders the ladies to stay put. He has police business to handle. Marlena and Anna both say they have personal business with Stefano so the police business will have to wait. The ladies then start walking towards the mansion as Abe reluctantly follows.

    Inside the mansion, Stefano, Lexie and Celeste start towards the front door.

    In the limo, which is parked a short distance away from the Dimera Mansion, Victor turns and asks a question.......

    Victor: So...........did everything go well?
    Man: Yeah..........it went just fine.

    The man starts to take off a fake mustache and eyebrows............

    Man: I didn’t think it would be that easy. Haven’t done this in many, many years. Thought I was out of practice.
    Bo: Well, as long as Stefano gets what he deserves.
    Victor: Bo, I guarantee he’ll never forget this.

    The mysterious man then takes off a wig and opens up his collar, taking off his tie........

    Man: Victor........how bad do you think the fallout will be?
    Victor: Very bad, I’m afraid. But........not like the first time I’ve been through this. I just hope it’s the last.
    Bo: Let’s shake on that.

    Bo shakes Victor’s hand and the mysterious man’s hand. Then, Victor shakes the man’s hand and, when he looks up at the man’s face, after he has removed his makeup MYSTERIOUS MAN'S PICTURE!!, he says to this man......

    Victor: Do you want to do the honors?
    Man: No. The honor.....this time......is all yours.

    In front of the mansion, everything now happens in slow motion...............

    Stefano opens the front door and he, Alexandra and Celeste walk out...........

    Abe, Marlena, Belle and Anna walk towards the mansion..................

    And at that very moment...............in his limousine, Victor pulls out a device, presses the red button..........

    And the DiMera Mansion, which has been in the family for over a century, starts to explode!!!!

    Huge sections of the mansion explode in unison as Marlena, Belle, Abe and Anna are thrown backwards towards the street. The mansion is being reduced to rubble as brick, mortar and glass fly all over the huge front and backyards.

    After 6 massive detonations, the DiMera Mansion is no more...........

    And Victor hands the man and his son glasses full of the finest wine as he now makes a toast.......

    Victor: To the VICTOR........goes the spoils!

    All three men laugh as they touch glasses and the black limousine drives off into the dark night as the scene pans upward..........

    And suddenly goes black.

    SEPTEMBER 17, 2007: EPISODE #330: BOOM PART 2

    RUINS OF THE DIMERA MANSION

    Abe starts to stir and raises up to his knees, shaking the cobwebs out. The others start to slowly do the same as fire trucks, ambulances and police vehicles join Stefano’s men in racing up to the destroyed mansion. Fire is burning what’s left of the huge structure and everyone looks at the building, not being able to believe that a house once stood in that very same spot.

    Stefano slowly gets up and stands to his feet. His back is to his home and he is fearful of what he may see when he turns around. He slowly does and a look of shock and sadness comes over his face. He can’t believe that a home that has been in the DiMera family for many generations is now gone. He stands back and watches as firemen rush up to the home, pouring water on the blaze in hopes of it not growing out of control.

    As everyone looks on, Abe walks up to Stefano and tells him they will get to the bottom of this. Stefano laughs, saying that it would be like putting the Marx Brothers on a case. He then says that if it weren’t for Celeste, they all may be dead right now, so many thanks should go to her. Alexandra turns and thanks Celeste. She says that’s what mothers do.........protect their children. Celeste then looks at Stefano, saying that he better be grateful because, if Lexie wasn’t in the house with him,.........she would be happily dancing on his burnt corpse right now. Celeste then leans forward and kisses Lexie on the cheek. She then walks past Stefano to an ambulance to receive medical treatment. Lexie watches her leave and Abe asks if she is ok. Lexie fights back tears as she says she’s fine. She then turns and walks away, leaving both Stefano and Abe to look at one another.

    At that moment, a police officer runs up to Stefano and tells him that Cassie has been found. When Stefano frantically asks about her, the officer says she’s alive........but has serious injuries. Stefano tells Abe he must go to the hospital so all of this can wait. For once, even Abe understands, and lets Stefano go. As Stefano runs with the officer past Marlena and Anna, they look at each other, upset that they still haven’t gotten a chance to talk to him. Anna tells a paramedic that she is alright so she wishes he would stop poking at her. Marlena tells her to be still and let them do their jobs but Anna isn’t listening. All she wants to know is when can she talk to Stefano one on one. Marlena nods her head, hoping for the very same thing, as they watch the mansion burn.

    As Abe stands and watches the fire, Bo comes running up and asks him what happened. Abe looks at Bo, saying that he has a feeling that he already knows. Bo says he doesn’t know what Abe is talking about. Abe asks Bo if he knows how this explosion occurred. Bo says he was at the hospital when he got the call. Abe pauses, then tells him that if he finds out Bo is lying........stripping him of his badge will be the least of his worries. Abe then turns and starts to walk away but not before turning back around and telling Bo that he better tell his father that he is a prime suspect in all of this. Abe then walks off, leaving Bo to walk back to his car.......looking very worried.

    KIRIAKIS MANSION LIVING ROOM



    Victor walks into the main living room with Roman and Nico following close behind. Victor walks over to his wine cabinet and pours both men a drink. Nico says that all of Victor’s men are keeping an eye on Stefano’s people and will call in if anything is up. Victor looks at Roman and tells him that he hasn’t been this proud of him since he married Isabella. Roman doesn’t smile, telling Victor that maybe if he would have done something like this sooner, Isabella may still be alive. Victor says that Isabella didn’t die of nothing else but the cancer that took her home, that’s all. He then says that Roman has to stop blaming himself for what happened with Sami and Eric and everyone else. He then says that the next time he has someone like Orpheus or Stefano in his cross hairs.......he better pull the [!@#$%^&*] trigger. Roman nods his head slowly.

    Bo then walks in, saying that he saw Abe and hopes he believes the lie that he told him. Victor commends Bo, saying that he did what was necessary. Roman says that he’ll smooth it over with Abe later. Nobody need know what the three of them planned and carried out. There then is a knock at the main room door and Maggie stands right there looking at Victor. Bo, Roman and Nico excuse themselves and leave them both alone to talk.

    Maggie walks over to Victor, telling him that the explosion is all over the nightly news. And, she says, she knows he did it. Victor says of course he did and will not deny it. He tells her that she knew what kind of man he was when they met so don’t act surprised now. Maggie pauses for a moment and says that she’ll be upstairs when he comes to bed. She then walks over and kisses him on his cheek, saying that she won’t interfere in business that’s not hers, so long as he’s honest with her. He agrees and tells her he’ll be up in a bit. After Maggie leaves, Victor looks through the glass door at Bo, Nico and Roman and grimly walks out to the patio.

    UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL



    Stefano paces the waiting area as Lexie goes to see what’s going on with Cassie. Marlena then walks in and Stefano tells her that Cassie has a concussion but seems to be ok. Marlena is glad to hear her daughter is ok. Stefano then tells Marlena he gets the feeling she is there for another reason besides checking on Cassie. She says she needs to talk to him.........about Roman. Stefano says that Roman Brady is the last thing he wants to discuss. Marlena doesn’t care about that. She needs a favor from him regarding Roman. Stefano says that she hasn’t repaid him for the favor he did for Sami before her execution. Marlena says he didn’t do one damn thing. He lies, saying that it was he who kept her from being executed. Marlena doesn’t believe him but asks him what he intends to do about Roman.

    From a distance, Anna watches as Stefano asks Marlena if they can go onto the balcony and talk about this. Marlena agrees and, as she follows Stefano, Belle walks into the waiting area, having seen her mother leave with Stefano. Just then, Roman walks into the waiting area, saying that he heard about the explosion and asks if Marlena is there.

    Belle has a worried look on her face, not knowing if she should lie to her father..........or tell him the truth.

    MAISON BLANCHE, NEW ORLEANS



    Hope, Steve, and Tony talk while in the dungeon. Hope wonders how they will get out. Tony shakes his head, saying no one will even think about looking for them there. Steve says he is not going to wait around like some little dude. He is going to find a way out on his own. After a short time, they are shocked when the door opens and Byron returns. He tells them all to go. Hope asks why he changed his mind. Byron says it didn't feel right and they are good people. He knows Tony is from knowing him for years while working for the family and he can tell her and Steve are. Steve, Hope, and Tony give him their contact info and tell him they will be in touch to get him and his family protection. They tell him to go home now and to leave the area with his family for their own protection. Byron agrees and thanks
    them. They then thank Byron in return for having the courage to come back for them and do the right thing. Byron warns them that Stefano may know they were at Maison Blanche as one of the Dimera security people knew. He tells them to watch their back. They thank him and promise they will. They wish Byron luck and go upstairs.

    Later, as they are about to leave, Hope thinks they should call Bo and Kayla. Steve thinks it is a good idea but that it would be easier if she called as he might say something wrong or something and cause more problems then they need. Hope nods her head and says she will do it. She then dials Bo's number and he answers from the Kiriakis Mansion. The reception is poor. Bo asks where she is. Hope says she is with Steve right now and she doesn't know when her or Steve will be home. She just wanted to tell him they are fine and they will
    keep in touch. He asks her to tell Kayla and the rest of the family and to give JT a big kiss for her. Bo tells Hope she is breaking up and tries to ask her where she is. Just as Bo is about to ask her again, the line goes dead, worrying Bo. Hope tells Steve the phone lost it's signal and the reception was poor the whole time. Tony tells them they have no time. They need to get to the airport if they are going to fly out tonight to Italy. Hope tells Steve they can call Bo and Kayla again sometime later and, hopefully, they will have a clearer call. They all then head for the airport

    Meanwhile, back in Salem, Bo feverishly tries to reach Hope, wondering what happened to her phone and what is going on as the scene fades to black.

    ON THE NEXT SALEM LIVES...

    MARLENA MAKES A PACT WITH THE DEVIL!!!
  19. PhoenixRising05
    SEPTEMBER 18, 2007: EPISODE #331: PACTS AND PROMISES

    APARTMENT BUILDING ON SALEM'S EAST SIDE (JOELLE'S APARTMENT)



    Joelle and Lucas both walk up to her apartment door. She thanks him again for doing this. She is just so afraid with that killer rapist on the loose in the Midwest and the fact that she heard suspicious noises last night. It really has her worked up. Lucas says it's fine. He reminds her that he is ok with being friends and business associates but there can be nothing more. Joelle smiles and says she knows. She then opens her door and they both enter the apartment.

    Lucas looks around and notices the place is somewhat dreary but notices that it's not that bad of a size. Joelle apologizes for not cleaning up beforehand. Lucas says it's fine and tells her that her place is pretty nice. Joelle thanks him and says it serves the purpose. Just then, a young boy (played by Jake T. Austin) runs out of one of the back rooms and comes racing down the mini-hallway. Joelle introduces the boy as her son, Joseph. She calls him Joey for short. Lucas puts out his hand to Joey, who shyly shakes it, and tells him it's nice to meet him. Joey asks if he is his mom's boss. Lucas and Joelle both laugh and Lucas nods, saying he is but that he won't bite.

    Joelle asks Joey why he was running. Joey says he heard her come in and grandma needs her. She has been sleeping since a little after he got home from school and she is having trouble waking up. Joelle's face turns to one of worry. She then walks quickly to her mother's room, which is the second room on the left side of the mini-hallway. Lucas follows. Joelle enters the room and kneels down near her mother's (played by Kathryn Joosten) rocking chair. She gently nudges her and calls out to her to wake up. She doesn't stir.

    A frightened Joelle then looks at Lucas. Lucas gets the feeling Joelle doesn't want to frighten Joey so Lucas tells Joey to go out into the living room so he and his mother can help his grandma. Joey asks if grandma is hurt or sick. Lucas tells him that his grandma probably is just very tired. He tells him to just go out to the living room. Joey looks at Joelle, who smiles and nods. Joey then leaves. After he leaves, Joelle panics and tells Lucas that her mother's breathing is shallow and she isn't waking up. Lucas thinks they should call an ambulance. Joelle seems hesistant. Lucas asks her what is wrong. Joelle shakes her head and says it's nothing. Her mother needs help. She tells Lucas to make the call. Lucas starts dialong 911 on his cell as Joelle holds her mother's hand, begging her to be ok.

    UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL



    Kayla is at the Nurses Station when Bo walks up. Kayla tells him that Alyson has a sprained ankle and is going to be fine. Bo says that's good but they need to talk. Kayla doesn't like the sound of what Bo has to tell her. Bo takes her aside and says Hope called. He explains that the phone reception was bad but she said that her and Steve are fine but she didn't say where they were and the phone went dead. Kayla doesn't think that sounds comforting. She asks Bo if he thinks the phone just died or if something else caused it. Bo thinks it likely just died since the quality of the call was poor but he does admit being worried.

    Bo notes that it seems Hope is avoiding telling him where her and Steve are. Kayla admits that is a cause for concern. She confesses she has had a bad feeling about this since they both called and told them they took off. Bo regrets telling Kayla since now she will worry nonstop. Kayla tells Bo she has a right to know and she is glad he told her. She asks him what he is going to do. Bo isn't sure but thinks he will use a few contacts to see if he can maybe track them down. If they find them, he knows Hope and Steve will be upset but he just wants to know they are ok. Kayla agrees. Bo tells her it's going to be alright and embraces her. Kayla tells him she hopes he is right.

    Elsewhere in the hospital, Caroline walks in Alyson's room and asks how she is doing. Alyson says she just sprained her ankle and will be ok after a few days. Jean, who is with Alyson, tells Caroline she is grateful that is all it was. Caroline apologizes for what happened. Jean tells her it wasn't her fault but, rather, that Nicole woman who is to blame.

    Caroline nods in agreement and mentions that Nicole is a loose cannon and has been behaving worse then usual since Eric's death. Alyson tells Caroline that Eric told her all about his relationship with Nicole while they were in Washington, D.C. together. Eric had gone there to photograph a charity benefit and she was his date. Caroline, realizing Alyson's connection to Eric now, says it's lovely to meet a friend of Eric's. Caroline then adds that neither Alyson or Jean knows what Nicole has done since she returned to Salem. Caroline fills them in on Eric nearly dying last year and on how Nicole kept Carrie's baby, Evan, from her for months.

    Jean and Alyson are horrified. Caroline then mentions how Nicole's actions led to Eric's demise and fills them in on the cruise ship debacle. Caroline tells them that she has never been a big fan of Nicole's but the whole family gave her the benefit of the doubt early on and even did so again this time around. They can never get past what she's done now. Jean tells Caroline she can't blame her. Jean then sees Nicole hanging around outside and, rather then upsetting Alyson, Jean decides to handle her on her own. Jean then excuses herself and says she will be right back.

    Outside Alyson's room, Nicole looks in and tries to eavesdrop. She sees Jean coming and tries to make a run for it but Jean stops her and calls out to her. Nicole turns and asks what she wants. Jean says she wants Nicole to stop stalking them before she calls the police.

    Jean: I know all about your history. All your lies and schemes....impressive. Very impressive. However, there is nothing you can do to deter me so, if you ever do anything to my daughter, I will not hesitate to take the proper action I deem necessary.
    Nicole: Now, what in the hell do you mean by that?
    Jean (smiling): You better hope you never find out.

    Jean then turns and returns to Alyson's room as a bewildered and somewhat shocked Nicole looks on.

    Meanwhile, on the balcony near the ER, Stefano asks Marlena what she would like him to do about Roman. Marlena says she doesn't know. Belle watches Marlena and Stefano talking from the waiting area while talking to Roman, who asks her if Marlena is with her. Roman notices she seems worried about something and asks if she is ok. Belle says she is fine. Roman asks her again if Marlena is at the hospital. Belle nods and says they came together because mom wanted to check on Cassie. Roman says he figured as much.

    Roman is about to turn around when Belle stops him, asking him if he wants to go get some coffee with her. It's been such a long night and they haven't spent much time together lately. Roman agrees and is happy to see that she isn't angry with him after the last time they saw each other. Belle tells him she still hates what he is doing but life is too short and there is far too much going on to act like that all the time. Roman is happy to hear that and says it's time to get that coffee. Roman and Belle walk off as Belle looks back at Marlena, who is still on the balcony with Stefano.

    Anna then appears as she comes down the hall and passes the nurses station. She sees Marlena on the balcony with Stefano. She wonders what they are discussing. On the balcony, Marlena tells Stefano she just wants Roman to back out of this war and to just focus on rebuilding their lives and helping the family move on past all the tragedy. Stefano laughs saying:

    Stefano: Your husband would never domesticate himself like that. The man is like a rabid dog. He will not back down no matter what you have me do or no matter what you have someone else do.
    Marlena: Wow...the great Stefano Dimera is letting the chance to have his so-called Queen of the Night indebted to him slip away? Are you sure your not ill?
    Stefano: Marlena, there is nothing I can do. Do you really think Roman will listen to me or stop what he is doing because of something I do? Haha. Are we still a bit delusional?
    Marlena: I know you two hate each other. Your a creative man. Think of something. Think about this Stefano. You help me and I will owe you. Anytime. Anywhere.
    Stefano: Anything?
    Marlena (taking a deep breath): Any....anything.
    Stefano: Hmm...I can tell by your eyes that you are serious. Your determined to do this.
    Marlena: I have to do something. No matter what I have to do or sacrifice. My family can't take much more.
    Stefano: There are no limitations to this, no?
    Marlena: No limitations. So, what do you say, Stefano? You help me and I will owe you a favor. No matter what that happens to be. Do we have a deal?

    Marlena holds out her hand. Stefano looks at it and seems to be mulling over the offer. He turns away and contemplates some more before turning back around and gently shaking Marlena's hand.

    Stefano: We have a deal, my dear.
    Marlena: Alright then. You come up with some way of handling Roman and just let me know when you do whatever it is you have to. Just don't hurt him. Please don't hurt him.
    Stefano: Not to worry, Marlena. I won't harm Roman and I will be in touch.
    Marlena: Not a word about this to Roman or anyone else either. Do you understand?
    Stefano: Of course. Not a word.
    Marlena: Ok then. I must be going. If you see Cassie, tell her I will drop by in the morning.

    Stefano grabs Marlena's arm.

    Stefano: Wait, Marlena.

    Stefano then gently takes her hand and kisses it. Stefano then smiles at Marlena, who looks at him coldly.

    Stefano: Sealed with a kiss. Now our pact is official. Good night, Marlena.
    Marlena: Good night.

    Marlena goes back inside the hospital as Stefano stands alone on the balcony, smiling. As Marlena walks past the nurses station, Anna comes out from behind a corner, not wanting Marlena or Stefano to see that she was listening and watching. Anna sees Stefano come back inside and decides it's time to approach him. Anna walks over and calls out to Stefano, asking if she can have a word with him. Stefano tells her it's not a good time and that he isn't in the mood to deal with her. He needs to meet Alexandra in Cassie's room. Anna tells him it won't take long but Stefano is adamant and tells her to leave him alone. Stefano then walks up, leaving behind a frustrated Anna, who is determined to talk to Stefano.

    APARTMENT BUILDING ON SALEM'S EAST SIDE (JOELLE'S APARTMENT)



    An ambulance arrives at Joelle's just as she has finished explaining to Joey what is going on. Joey says he knew grandma was sick. Joelle promises him it's going to be ok. Grandma just needs some medicine and she will be ok. Joey thinks she is lying to him. Joelle's eyes well up with tears as Lucas interjects and tells Joey that his grandma just needs a little help and then she will be fine. Joey tells Lucas he isn't a little kid. He can see his grandma is very sick. Lucas and Joelle don't know what to say.

    An EMT comes over and tells Joelle they need her. The EMT tells Joelle they think her mother had a minor stroke. Joelle is devastated. Lucas comforts her as the EMT tells her they need to get her to the hospital fast. Joelle nods in agreement, wiping her tears. She asks Lucas if he would take Joey next door to the neighbor's. Lucas nods and then tells her he will meet her at the hospital. She shouldn't be alone. She thanks him as the EMT's place her mother on a gurney and begin to transport her. Joelle accompanies them and looks back at Lucas, who is left behind with Joey. Lucas pats Joey's shoulder and tells him it's going to be alright and then takes him next door to the neighbor's.

    UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL



    Jean returns to Alyson's room. Alyson asks where she went. Jean says she just had to make sure when she could be released tomorrow. Caroline asks about the news they had concerning Eric. Jean looks at Alyson. Alyson shocks her by saying she thinks it may be best if she waits until tomorrow. It's alot to take in and she isn't sure she is up to dealing with explaining it all tonight. Caroline understands and tells her to call when she is ready. The family would very much like to hear what she has to say. Jean thanks Caroline, as does Alyson. Caroline bids them goodnight and leaves.

    Jean asks Alyson why she did that. Alyson says she needed to stall things so they had enough time to leave Salem. Jean is confused. Alyson tells her hearing what Nicole is capable of and also hearing about everything else going on in Salem has made her rethink what she is doing. She isn't going to say a thing and she wants to go home...tomorrow!! Jean is stunned.

    Meanwhile, outside Alyson's room, Nicole paces and thinks about what Jean said. Caroline sees her and asks her why she just won't stay out of their lives. Nicole tells Caroline she is Eric's widow and will always be in there lives. A frustrated Caroline turns around and walks away in a huff as Nicole laughs. Nicole then looks in at Jean and Alyson and wonders what the story with them is.

    Elsewhere, Kayla tells Bo she needs to get back to work. Bo tells her he will keep her up to date. Kayla thanks him and leaves as Abe walks off the hospital elevator. Bo turns and sees him and asks what he is doing there. Abe says he came to inform Stefano that the fire from the explosion remains is out and to update him on the investigation. He hates Dimera but it's protocol. Bo wishes him luck but says he must be going. Abe tells him to wait and reminds him of what they discussed earlier.

    Abe: You can't have it both ways, Bo. You've been on the opposite side of the law and you've also been on the right side. Now, I have no clue what you are doing but you have to pick a side. You can't have it both ways. Think about it and choose wisely, my friend.

    Abe then walks off, leaving Bo behind to contemplate his words.

    Nearby, Belle and Roman return to the waiting area where they were previously. Belle looks out on the balcony to see that her mother and Stefano are gone. Roman looks at Belle and asks who she is looking for. She tells him nobody. She just was daydreaming. Roman laughs and says he won't take offense. Belle laughs and says that's good. Roman tells her he enjoyed spending time with her and it was a nice distraction from everything. Belle agrees.

    Just then, Marlena returns and tells Belle she has been looking for her. Marlena is stunned to see Roman. Roman tells Marlena about his and Belle's little coffee date. Marlena thinks that is wonderful and is happy to see Roman finally thinking of something else besides revenge and destroying Orpheus and Stefano. Roman gives Marlena a cold look and tells her that was a nice dig. Marlena says it wasn't a dig but Roman won't hear otherwise. He tells her he saw the look on her face that went with the words.

    Roman gives Belle a kiss and embraces her, telling her he loves her and will see her later. Belle begs Roman not to leave like this. Marlena tells Roman not to do this but it's too late as he has already turned his back on her and is hitting the elevator button. The elevator opens as Marlena and Belle give chase but Roman has already boarded and closes the door immediately. In the elevator, Roman sighs heavily and says:

    Roman: Damn. Why the hell did I just do that? (pounds wall of elevator with fist) Damnit!!

    Meanwhile, in the waiting area, Marlena feels bad about what she said. Belle tells her not to blame herself. Marlena says she does and hopes that the deal she made with Stefano works. Belle hates that she did that but Marlena says she had no choice.

    Marlena: I won't stand by and watch your father get himself killed. We've all lost enough. I will do what I have to do...to protect our family.

    The scene then freezes on a determined Marlena as Belle looks on from behind and then fades to black.

    SAMI AND LUCAS' APARTMENT



    Will is still in bed, tossing and turning. He starts crying out in his sleep for help and then jumps up, sweaty and clearly affected by the nightmare he seemingly just had. Will then wonders why these nightmares are coming back after being gone for so long. He thought he was finally moving on from what Alan did to him. Will then looks at the clock and realizes he overslept and is an hour late for school. He gets out of bed and goes into the living room. He sees a newspaper with the headline "SERIAL RAPIST STRIKES AGAIN!!!" He picks it up and stares at it. Will's eyes fill with terror as he remembers that infamous night with Alan. Will begins to tremble and shakes his head in disbelief, saying:

    Will: He can't be back. He's dead. HE'S DEAD!!

    Will's hands shake so much that he drops the newspaper. He then says repeatedly he needs to tell someone and races back into his room.

    UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL

    Lucas brings some coffee to Joelle in the waiting area. She thanks him for staying with her. He says it's no problem and that he called in to work so they both don't have to go in. Joelle can't beleive her mother had a stroke. She was doing so well with her diabetes and blood pressure. She admits she had a mild heart attack a few years back but she has been going strong ever since. Lucas reminds her the doctor said it was only a mild stroke. She will be fine. Joelle tells him she is grateful but she doesn't know how they are going to afford the medical bills, especially if she needs physical therapy or some other special needs. Lucas asks if she has insurance. Joelle says she does but it doesn't cover everything. She doesn't know what she is going to do.

    Joelle begins to break down in tears, asking why life has to be so hard. Lucas says he asks himself that question everyday. He embraces her and tells her it will work out and he will help in any way he can. She thanks him for everything. A nurse approaches them and tells Lucas he has a call from someone from his office at the nurses desk. Lucas thanks the nurse. Joelle tells him to take the call. She will be fine. Lucas asks if she is sure. Joelle nods. Lucas tells her he will be back and leaves. After he leaves, Joelle smiles and says:

    Joelle: It's time to take this horrible situation and use it to our advantage, mother.

    Joelle then gets up and walks off.

    BRADY PUB



    Caroline, Stephanie, Frankie, Max, Bo, Kayla, Alice, Julie, and Maggie are all together at the Pub for Jack and Billie's welcome home party. Caroline tells Frankie that Jack and Billie would've understood if he didn't make it. Frankie tells her there was nothing to be done at the hospital and he wanted to be there. Philip then shows up and walks up to the bar, asking if it's ok that he is there. Caroline nods, saying Billie is his sister. Kate then walks up and asks if that same compassion applies to her. Caroline nods and smiles, saying Kate has a right to be present. Billie will want to see her.

    Kate smiles and turns to Philip, asking how he is. Philip says he could be better. Kate tells him she would like to talk with him and settle their differences. Philip shakes his head, saying not right now. He already has enough to deal with. He then excuses himself, leaving behind a heartbroken Kate.

    At the bar, Kayla asks Bo if he heard anything back yet from his contacts. Bo shakes his head, saying they haven't tracked down Hope or Steve yet. Kayla says she is really worried. Bo admits he is too but advises her to keep what is going on quiet for the time being, just in case Hope and Steve are embroiled in something heavy. Kayla agrees.

    Max and Stephanie are talking when they see Abby wheeled in with Forrest. Everyone in the Pub turns and looks at Abby and Forrest tentatively. Abby sees that everyone seems unsettled and apologizes to Forrest that her family and friends are treating him this way. Forrest smiles and says it's ok. They all just need to get used to him and to get to know him a bit. Abby smiles, saying he is taking this all so well. Forrest smiles and wheels her over to be with her Alice, Julie, and Maggie.

    Doug then walks in, shocking Julie. Julie walks over slowly to him, expressing her surprise that he came. She hasn't seem him in days. She asks how he is doing. Doug says he is better but that isn't saying much. Julie tells him she would like to talk. Just as Doug is about to answer, Jack and Billie walk in. Everyone in the Pub races over to them, greeting and hugging them. Jack walks over to Alice and tenderly embraces her. Alice tells him he was missed. Abby embraces her father and cries in his arms as Jack finds himself in tears as well. Abby tells him she was so scared she would never see him again. Jack tells her that won't happen. He promises her mother he would be there for her to guide her and to take care of her and JJ. Abby smiles and embraces him again, saying she is so happy he is back.

    Billie shares a happy reunion with Kate and Philip. Kate is so happy she didn't lose another child. Billie feels horrible she missed Austin's funeral. Kate tells her he would understand. She is just happy she is back. Bo comes over and embraces Billie. He tells her he hates to bring her bad news so soon but there is something he has to tell her about Chelsea.

    Meanwhile, Jack embraces Kayla and asks about Steve. Kayla says he and Hope are out of town handling something. Jack is intrigued but Kayla tells him it's nothing he would be interested in. Maggie then brings JJ out from around back and Jack takes him in his arms and shares a tearful reunion with his son. Jack thanks everyone for watching over his family. He thanks Frankie and Max for looking out for her. Frankie reminds Jack he made a promise to Jennifer. Jack nods and then thanks Alice for letting Abby stay with her. Alice smiles and says it's no problem.

    Bo fills Billie in on how Orpheus sent a tape of Chelsea killing her rapists to the SPD and explains how Stefano interfered to have her sent to a psych ward out of state. Billie is devastated. Bo tells her that Abe had the hospital checked out and it seems on the up and up but they can't visit her until after a certain period. They want her to get settled. Billie can't believe this. Bo comforts her and says their daughter will be fine. She's strong, just like she is. Billie smiles and says:

    Billie: Just like we both are.

    UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL

    Lucas returns from his phone call and finds that Joelle is gone. He asks some of the nurses if they have seen her and describes what she looks like. One nurse says she saw her leave the hospital via the ambulance bay and she was headed toward the pier. Lucas thanks her and takes off.

    BRADY PUB



    Jack and Billie thank Caroline for the party. She says it was no problem. She is just happy they are home. Jack sits down with Abby and says he wants to hear about everything that has happened while he was gone. Abby fills him in on how "Fred" found a doctor that found a new treatment to help her walk again. She explains she is involved in his therapy program and is taking new medication. She also mentions how "Fred" has been so good to her and how he tried to help Chelsea and to help find him and Billie. Jack is suspicious and asks how "Fred" has so much influence and power.

    Fred/Forrest says he just knows people in high places. He wouldn't say he has power. Max, Frankie, and Stephanie watch this scene and wonder if they should tell Jack who "Fred" is. Frankie doesn't think it's the time and place seeing as Jack just came home and Forrest is right there. It could put Abby in danger, along with everyone else. They have no idea what Forrest is capable of. Max and Stephanie see his point and agree that it's not the right time.

    Jack reluctantly thanks Fred/Forrest for all he has done to help Abby. Abby notes that his expression of gratitude seemed forced. Jack thinks they should change the subject and discuss "Fred" later. Forrest then excuses himself, saying he has to make a phone call. Forrest leaves as Jack tells Abby he knows he just got home but he doesn't want to wait to tell her this. Abby tells Jack he is worrying her and asks if something is wrong. Jack fills her in on how close he and Billie have gotten. Abby says she knew they would get together and she is fine with that now. She just wants him to be happy and Billie is great. Jack smiles and is glad she is happy but says there is something else. Jack then tells her about how Elizabeth and Alexander rescued him and Billie and how Elizabeth is a old flame of his. He then says that Elizabeth told him Alexander is his son. Abby is stunned. Billie interjects and says that they are going to have a DNA test done to make sure and then mentions to Jack that Elizabeth called and left the number for her room at the Salem Inn.

    Nearby, Julie walks over to Doug and wants to pick up where they left off before Jack and Billie arrived. She asks him again if they can talk. Doug says he isn't really interested in doing that and doesn't really have the time. Julie tells him it won't take long. Doug says he doesn't want to see or talk to her. Julie says she will give him more time. She thinks that may help and then they can talk. Julie tells him she is willing to wait for as long as she has to. Doug shakes his head and says she will have to wait a long time because he is leaving Salem...tomorrow!! Julie is stunned. Doug then turns and walks out. Maggie comes over and embraces Julie, saying she heard the whole thing. Maggie apologizes. Tears stream down Julie's face as she looks at Maggie and tells her she has lost Doug and it's for good this time. Julie then falls into Maggie's arms as Maggie comforts her.

    Meanwhile, Abby is still stunned by Alexander possibly being her half brother. Billie reminds her they know nothing yet and then tells Jack they should go do the test now. The sooner the better. Jack agrees. It's better to get it out of the way and to know. Billie says she will call Elizabeth to meet them there. Frankie interjects and says they can go see Greta if they want. He is on his way there. Jack and Billie think that is a good idea. Jack kisses and embraces Abby, telling her they will talk later. Abby nods and smiles, saying she is glad to have him back. Jack then gives JJ a kiss and he and Billie then thank Caroline and everyone else for the party and for being there before leaving. Abby then looks around and wonders where Forrest is. Alice tells Abby if she is looking for 'Fred" he is still outside on the phone. Abby thanks her.

    Outside the Pub, Jack sees Fred/Forrest on the phone and tells Billie and Frankie he does not like that guy. Frankie tells Jack he isn't the only one. They then begin to walk to the parking lot as Billie calls Elizabeth. Elizabeth is at her room at the Salem Inn when she answers and asks what is going on. Billie tells her to get Alexander and head for the hospital. They are doing the DNA test now. A worried expression crosses Elizabeth's face. Elizabeth then says she will go over to Alexander's room and get him and they will be there soon. Billi says ok and hangs up. Elizabeth then throws her phone to the ground in anger and says:

    Elizabeth: Billie has become a major problem. One that I will have to remove from the picture...permanently.

    Back inside the Pub, Bo's cell rings while he is at the bar with Caroline and Kayla. He excuses himself and answers it. It's Will, who is very upset and desperately asks Bo to meet him. Bo asks if he is ok. Will says he thinks he is but he just really needs to talk to someone. Bo tells him to meet him at the pier in a half hour. Will agrees. Bo hangs up, wondering what is going on. Meanwhile, Will looks at the newspaper and tries to convince himself he is being paranoid and that it's because of the nightmares about Alan he is having. Will hopes that talking to Bo will help. He then grabs his keys and leaves the apartment.

    CHEATIN HEART



    Joelle sits at the bar, downing shots of Alabama Slammers when Lucas walks in, looking around and then noticing Joelle. He walks up, telling her he has been looking all over for her. Joelle says she just needed to get out of there and needed a drink so bad. Lucas tells her that's the long way to think. He knows. He is a recovering alcoholic and recently fell off the wagon because of Sami's death. He tells her drinking won't help the pain. It only makes things worse. Joelle then downs another shot and calls out to the bartender for another. Lucas tells the bartender not to get her one but Joelle orders him to. Lucas shakes his head in disgust as Joelle is given another shot, which she quickly chugs, and then yells out to the bartender to keep them coming.

    BRADY PUB (OUTSIDE)

    Forrest is still on the phone. He looks in at Abby and the remaining party guests and says:

    Forrest: Yes. We have to move up our plans. We have no choice. With Deveraux back in town, we can't take the risk of him ruining everything. (looks at Abby inside the Pub) We need to act and we need to act now!!!

    The scene then freezes on a split screen of a determined Forrest's face and Abby sitting in the Pub and then fades to black.

    SEPTEMBER 20, 2007: EPISODE #333: MOVING ALONG

    UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL



    Jack sits by Greta’s bedside as Billie stares out the window. Jack sits there thinking about what Greta would say to him right now. He laughs and says she would probably be asking him who in the hell gave him permission to go on vacation. Jack smiles, takes Greta's hand, and jokingly says that he’s sorry he didn’t clear the time first with her. Billie says that knowing Greta, she would take the attention off herself and simply worry about how they are both doing. Billie thinks she would know something was wrong. Billie then turns around and sighs, saying that it’s not a good feeling at all to come home to news that your child is in some psych ward out of state for killing two men. Billie then says that Stefano and Orpheus will dealt with for they did to her child. Billie then apologizes for going on like this in front of Greta.

    Jack stands and walks over to Billie, telling her that he truly understands how she feels and that Greta would understand how hard this is for her to. He then says they both will do something about it. Jack smiles and says he knows Greta would want to help if she were awake. Billie nods and then says she would love to shake the hand of the person who blew up Stefano’s mausoleum. Jack thinks he should probably do a story about that. Billie reminds them they just got back and have alot to deal with. Jack interrupts her, saying reporting is what he does. Billie wishes she could see Chelsea. Jack reminds Billie that Chelsea can’t see anyone just yet. He looks back at Greta, telling his friend to get well soon. Billie walks over and agrees, saying they all need her with them..

    Out in the waiting area, Alexander waits with his mother. When Elizabeth tries to speak with him, he tells her he would like for her to leave him alone. She understands, saying that she is scared of how Jack will react as well. Alex only says that he wishes Jack would hurry up. He wants to know the truth and all this damn waiting around is getting on his nerves. Jack then walks up from behind him, saying that it’s time to get this show on the road. Jack, Billie, Alex and Elizabeth all start towards the elevators. Elizabeth and Billie wonder what will happen to them all...........if Alex is truly Jack’s son.

    Meanwhile, Jean is helping Alyson get her things together before she leaves the hospital. Jean asks Aly if she is going to tell the Brady family the truth, seeing as they all have a right to know. As she says it will help them in the long run, Aly thinks she is doing this all for herself. Jean strongly disagrees, saying that she would feel better about the whole situation if she called Caroline and asked to meet with her and the family as it's the right thing to do and Eric would want that too.

    After some tense moments, Aly agrees to call Caroline. As she picks up the phone to call, what neither woman realizes is that Nicole is standing right outside Aly’s door, listening to her conversation with Caroline. Nicole then gets very excited as she hears Aly thank Caroline for offering to call her family and have them gather at the Pub. As Aly hangs up the phone and waits for the nurse to come in and discharge her, Jean smiles at her, telling her she did the right thing for everyone. Nicole sneaks past the door and heads off to the Pub, wanting to hear what Aly has to say to the Brady's.

    HORTON HOUSE

    Abby comes into the outer room, having just finished another therapy session. Dr. Dobbs walks in behind her, telling Forrest that she is making significant progress. Forrest remarks about glad he is for her and then asks if he could speak to her doctor alone. When she smiles at Forrest and says sure, the two men walk out into the hallway.

    Once out of earshot of Abby, Forrest pulls out a check from his jacket pocket and hands it to the doctor. The doctor looks at Forrest, who tells him that he will receive this so long as he convinces Abby that in order to recover fully, she must leave Salem. The doctor agrees and takes the check from Forrest, who then warns him not to cross him......or else. The doctor tells him she’s as good as gone from Salem. The doctor then goes back into the living room as Forrest smiles evilly.

    UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL



    Max and Stephanie talk to Frankie in the cafeteria. Max asks where Jack and Billie are. Frankie responds that they are up with Greta. Stephanie then asks a question.......when will be the right time to tell Jack about Fred really being Forrest. Frankie says that with Abby’s feelings for Forrest and what he has just been through, he feels it best to not say one word to Jack about Forrest until someone can find out what his motives are. Max agrees and says that he won’t say a word about it and neither will Stephanie. She agrees, saying that she doesn’t want to add to anything negative. Frankie says that it is settled......for now, they all will keep their mouths shut.

    KIRIAKIS MANSION



    Bo is playing pool when Will walks in. Bo apologizes for changing the meeting place but felt it safer to meet out of the public eye. Bo asks how Will got across town safely, to which Will replies that Abe has cops watching his home at all times. Bo puts down the pool cue as he looks at Will, asking how he’s doing. Will says he thought it was enough to always be thinking about Austin, Eric and his mother but now with news that a rapist/killer is loose in the Midwest, he can’t sleep anymore. All it does is give him nightmares about what Alan did to him, he says, as Will sits down on the couch.

    Bo comes and sits down next to him, telling him that he, personally, will never be able to forget what happened to him. Then, Will asks, what is he supposed to do. Bo suggests that since she is now feeling much better, he should talk to his grandmother, Marlena, for some help and comfort. Bo tells him that she has a wonderful ear and he should know. She has really been the only one who made his relationship with his grandfather, Roman, work despite everything.

    Will waits for a moment and the tells Bo he’s going to do it. He’ll see Marlena and hope she can help. Will stands up and shakes Bo’s hand, thanking his great uncle for all the help. Bo calls in one of Victor’s men and tells him to take Will home. He then turns and looks at Will, telling him that he will always be there for him. Will smiles at that and leaves with Victor’s bodyguard as Bo walks over, picks up the pool cue, and continues his game of pool.

    CHEATIN HEART



    Lucas tries to get Joelle to stop drinking. Through her haze, she tells him that that is rich coming from him. Lucas knows how it feels to lose a child. He and Sami had an awful battle over Will when he was younger. And, he also knows what it’s like to rely on the bottle to make his troubles disappear. She knows that but just can’t seem to get over this pain. She then tries to get him to take a drink, to which Lucas declines. She says one drink won’t hurt and he says it will. He just got back on the wagon and doesn’t want to jeopardize his sobriety. He is also trying to deal with Sami being gone and she should respect that.

    Joelle says she is going to the bathroom and Lucas stands as she leaves. Once she is in the bathroom, she thinks to herself that it’s time to up the ante and pulls a bottle of pills from her purse. She smiles as she thinks about how Lucas will react to this latest incident.....

    As the scene slowly fades to black.

    ON THE NEXT SALEM LIVES...

    TWO BIG REVELATIONS!!!
  22. PhoenixRising05
    SEPTEMBER 21, 2007: EPISODE #334: FAMILY BUSINESS

    BRADY PUB



    Caroline is at the bar with Bo, Kayla, Max, Stephanie, and Frankie when Marlena comes in with Belle. Marlena asks if Jean and Alyson arrived yet. Caroline says they haven't but they should be there soon. Marlena is very curious to here what they have to say about Eric and asks Caroline if they seem like the type of women to run a scam for some reason. Caroline shakes her head, saying they seem fine. Alyson got hurt at the Pub and didn't even make a stink. Caroline explains that Alyson and Eric dated and even mentioned a time when they went to a gala event in Washington.

    Will then walks in and asks if he missed anything. Marlena is shocked to see him. Caroline says she called him because Eric was his uncle and he is family. Marlena says it's fine. He should be there. She asks him how his father is. Will says he's fine but is working an awful alot. Marlena asks how he is. Will tells Marlena he would like to talk to her alone. Marlena excuses herself and goes off into a corner with Will. Will asks if they can meet to talk about some stuff. Marlena asks him if he is having trouble dealing with what Alan did to him. Will nods and says that the thing with this rapist on the loose in the Midwest and Alan's body not being found is just causing some horrible nightmares, on top of the fact that he has lost so many people in his life. Will tells Marlena he doesn't want to bother his dad with all this.

    Marlena understands and tells Will she is there for him but is also trying to recover from her own demons. Will asks Marlena if she doesn't want to help him. Marlena says she will help as his grandmother but she thinks he needs counseling from a professional. She isn't capable of that right now. She can listen and advise but he needs therapy to get past all that he has been through before it develops into something more. She tells him to see Barbara. She helped Bo and she will be treating her. Marlena adds that she is very good. Will doesn't like the idea of talking to a stranger but Marlena reminds him it's all kept confidential and it's worth a shot. She promises to also be there for him too. Will hesitantly agrees, saying he has to do something. Marlena embraces him and tells him he is doing the right thing and she thinks he will get the peace he is searching for. Will says he hopes so.

    Just then, Alyson and Jean arrive outside the Pub. Alyson begins to have cold feet. Jean tells her it's the right thing to do for everyone and that Eric would want her to do this. His family has a right to know. Alyson nods but admits she is nervous. Jean says she will be right there with her as soon as she gets back. Alyson asks where she is going. Jean says she needs to go get the "guest of honor." Alyson reminds her they agreed not to go that route. Jean says they will have to do it sooner or later and they may as well handle it all now and deal with everything head on. Alyson reluctantly agrees and says she will see her insider. Jean smiles and takes off as Alyson enters the Pub.

    Upon entering the Pub, everyone's attention turns to her as they greet her. Caroline asks how her ankle is. Alyson smiles, saying it's fine. She thanks her for asking. Marlena and Belle introduce themselves and say they are proud to meet a friend of Eric's. Alyson says that Eric was a wonderful man and she was so happy to know him. Marlena nods in agreement and then admits they are all curious as to what she has to say. Nicole then enters the Pub and says:

    Nicole: That includes me too. Come on, Aly? Fill us in on this big secret you and mommy dearest are keeping.

    Alyson nervously looks around at everyone around her and then runs out of the room and into the ladies room, shocking everyone and causing Nicole to chuckle and roll her eyes.

    UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL



    Cassie awakens in her room to find Stefano at her bedside. Cassie smiles and asks how long he has been there. Stefano says all night. He tells her that she is going to be fine and that Alexandra agreed with the prognosis. She just needs to get some rest. Cassie asks what happened. Stefano fills her in about the explosion and then mentions that he knows she was on her way out of Salem. Stefano mentions that they found her luggage next to her and that one of the servants mentioned her telling him she was going on a trip before going back in to get the brush she forgot. Cassie says she felt she had no choice as he had turned his back on her.

    Stefano sighs and says he was angry and still is. However, he had not turned his back on her. He is disappointed but still sees much potential in her. Stefano admits he was wrong to be so harsh and to give her the cold shoulder. Cassie tells him again how sorry she is. Stefano says he knows but she is in quite a mess and it's going to take alot to get her out. Cassie's eyes light up as she asks if he is going to help her. Stefano nods, saying he needs her. His house is gone and he is not going to stand for anyone destroying what is his and targeting his family. Cassie isn't so sure he should trust her. Stefano takes her hand and kisses it, saying that she just needs to listen to what he says and to not act without his permission. He feels that is the only way she can live up to the potential he sees in her. He asks Cassie if she can cooperate and do that.

    Meanwhile, Anna walks up and wonders how long Stefano is going to be in the room. She needs to speak with him to try to get his help in finding Carrie and Evan. Anna looks in on Stefano and Cassie and is intrigued by their reactions to whatever they are discussing. She opens the door a bit and begins to eavesdrop on what is being said.

    CHEATIN HEART


    Joelle returns to the bar, putting her purse on the table. Lucas asks if she is alright. Joelle says she will be after a few more drinks. Lucas begs her to stop. Joelle says it makes her feel good and it would do the same for him if he had one too. Lucas shakes his head in disgust. Joelle then reaches over with her shot glass and tells Lucas to down one. As she reaches over, she knocks over her purse. Joelle says oops and calls herself a klutz. Lucas says he will get it and adds that things like that wouldn't happen if she just stopped with the booze. Joelle apologizes as she slips a pill into Lucas' drink, which begins to dissolve in the drink. The bartender and another patron see this and wonder what is going on. Lucas puts everything back in Joelle's purse and puts it back on the bar. He begs her to stop and to go back to the hospital with him. Her mother needs her. Joelle shakes her head and says she is staying.

    The bartender then comes over after talking with the patron and asks Joelle what she thinks she is doing. Joelle is confused, as is Lucas. The bartender says that he and his buddy say what she did. A quick thinking Joelle slyly pulls out her cell slightly from her purse and calls Lucas' number, which is on speed dial for business reasons. Lucas' cell rings and Joelle tells him he better take it. Lucas doesn't like leaving her with the bartender and wants to hear what he has to say. Joelle tells him to take the call and to hurry back. Lucas walks off, leaving Joelle with the bartender, who asks her why she put a pill in her friend's drink. Joelle mentions how Lucas' girlfriend just died and how hard it has hit him. He has alot going on and hasn't been able to sleep and won't do anything to help himself so she put a sleeping pill in his drink. She hates deceiving him but feels it's the only way and for the best.

    The bartender mentions knowing Lucas from his drinking days and recalls how hard he can take things. Joelle says he is her boss and she knows he just needs some rest or else he and his son will suffer. The bartender says he understands why she did what she did. Joelle begs him not to say anything. She will make sure he gets home ok and she mentions she isn't driving so he doesn't have to worry about the both of them being under the influence and driving. The bartender says that's good and says he will stay silent but hopes that what she said is true. Joelle says it is. It's too horrible to lie about. The bartender walks off as Lucas comes back, saying no one was on the line and the call came from her phone. Joelle says something must have hit her cell inside her purse and dialed Lucas' number via speed dial.

    Lucas asks what happened with the bartender. Joelle lies and says he caught her filling her shot glass with vodka behind his back. She just couldn't wait for him any longer and she knew Lucas didn't want her to have another. She mentions the bartender thought she was trying to score a free drink but she planned on paying for it. Lucas takes her glass and says she is done. Joelle agrees not to drink anymore as long as they don't have to go back to the hospital. Lucas shakes her hand and says it's a deal. Joelle asks for a club soda. The bartender gets her one. Lucas smiles and says that she is doing the right thing. Joelle nods and then smiles as Lucas takes a sip of the drugged drink, whispering:

    Joelle: I'm doing this for us, mom. For us and for Joey.

    A pleased Joelle then continues to look on as Lucas takes yet another sip.

    SALEM PARK



    Kate is walking through the park, thinking about how she is going to get her life back on track and how she is going to get back into Lucas and Philip's good graces. She looks up to the heavens and tells Austin how much she misses him. He would always listen to her and offer good advice, even though she never listened to it. Kate says she made so many mistakes in her life and now she has nothing and has no one to blame but herself. Miranda then comes up from behind and says she's right about that. Kate turns and asks what she wants this time.

    Miranda: I want redemption. I want you to hurt just as much as I did. You should suffer just as much as the people you claimed to love.
    Kate: What is wrong with you? Yes, you have a reason to be upset with me but to be so vile and...cold and...
    Miranda: Me? No, honey, that's you. I can't believe you. Your trying to diminish what you did to all of us. You know, your recent behavior is pretty despicable but that is nothing compared to what you were back in your whore days. Oh, wait, your still in your whore days. Sorry!
    Kate: You...
    Miranda: When we were younger, I idolized you. I used to tell all my friends how I wanted to be just like you. God, now the sight of you makes me want to vomit. You destroyed our lives, Kate. Damnit, you destroyed yourself and you took the rest of us down with you? You deserve to rot in hell!!
    Kate: You don't mean that. Somewhere, deep down, you still care about me. You still love me.
    Miranda: That is so typical of you. You always believe you can get off scott-free and that you deserve to. You don't deserve nothing, Kate, least of all my love and my mother's love.
    Kate: Don't you mean...
    Miranda: What? "Our" mother? No. Not anymore. You lost that right a long time ago. She's nothing to you. Danielle is nothing to you. I'm nothing to you.
    Kate: Oh, come on, Miranda! We'll always be...
    Miranda: No!! No!! Don't even say it!! You stopped being my sister the day you turned your back on us and never looked back. Your no daughter to mom. Your no sister to Danielle. and, you certainly are no sister to me you cold-hearted slut!!!

    Kate hauls back and slaps Miranda, who coldly looks at her and says:

    Miranda: You bitch!! You have no right...

    Miranda then lunges for Kate and both women fall on the grass and go at it, slapping and kicking.

    UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL



    As Anna listens outside Cassie's room, Stefano waits for an answer from Cassie. Cassie says she can do that and promises she will listen to his every word and won't act without his permission. Stefano smiles and says that's good. He then kisses her hand and says he is happy to give her another chance providing she has learned from her mistake. Cassie nods, saying she has. Stefano smiles and says he believes her. Cassie asks what they are going to do about Greta. Stefano says he will think of something as, so far, the police only seem to know it was one of his cars. They have no description of the driver. Cassie tells him she doesn't want him taking the fall for her. Stefano tells her to trust him. She won't go down for Greta's hit and run and he promises her he knows how to handle situations like this. Cassie nods, saying she knows he does. She then embraces him and thanks him for forgiving her and helping her. His giving her a second chance means the world to her.

    Just as Stefano is about to say something, Anna walks in and says:

    Anna: I hate to interrupt this heartwarming family moment but I feel it's my duty considering it seems there is a criminal in our midst. Well, other then you, Stefano.
    Stefano (frustrated): Anna....
    Anna: Hello to you, too, Stefano. (smiles sarcastically) Anyway, it seems Cassie's become a junior felon and, wow, this has put me in such a difficult position, Oh, horrors, what do I do? So young...beautiful girl you are, Cassie (looks at a worried and bewildered Cassie). I hate to do this but I must. It's right to report a crime to the proper (pulls out cell phone)...
    Stefano: Ok, enough of this, Anna. What do you want?
    Anna: How about you and me finally have that talk I have been clamoring for, eh? I think we can hammer out terms to a nice, beneficial agreement for the both us.

    Anna smiles as a worried Cassie and a frustrated and angry Stefano look on.

    BRADY PUB



    Marlena and Caroline beg Alyson to come out of the ladies room but she refuses, saying she just can't do this. Marlena wonders what would cause her to be so fearful of simply sharing something about Eric with them. Nicole thinks Alyson is just a flake and no longer thinks she is anything but someone trying to con them for some reason. Caroline tells Nicole no one invited her and orders her to leave since she is the one that caused Alyson to get upset. Nicole says she merely walked into the Pub and said she was curious. She can't help the girl is oversensitive. Caroline would like to know how Nicole even found out they were gathering. Bo mentions that she probably eavesdropped. Nicole tells Bo no comments from the peanut gallery are allowed.

    Just then, everyone hears a cell phone ring in the bathroom and hears Alyson answer it by saying "Hello." A few moments later, Alyson emerges from the bathroom. Caroline asks if she is alright. Alyson nods, saying her mother called and is right outside so there is no turning back now. Marlena asks what she means.

    The door of the Pub then opens. Jean enters.....

    HOLDING A BABY!!

    Bo, Kayla, Max, Stephanie, Frankie, Will, Caroline, Belle, Marlena, and even Nicole look on, confused at what is happening. Jean walks over to near Alyson and places the baby boy, which looks about 8-10 months old, in her arms. She tells Alyson to introduce the child to his family. Everyone in the Pub is stunned.

    Alyson: Uh...everyone. I would like you to meet Samuel. My son. My son with Eric.
    Nicole: What?!
    Jean: You heard her. This gorgeous little boy here belongs to Eric and my daughter. He is their son.

    Nicole's jaw practically drops, along with everyone's at the Pub as camera pans in on a close up of little Samuel. The scene then freezes on baby Samuel and fades to black.

    SEPTEMBER 24, 2007: EPISODE # 335: SHIFT

    SALEM PARK



    Kate and Miranda continue to go at it kicking, punching, rolling, slapping, etc on the grass. Philip is walking nearby and comes across the scene. He races over and breaks up the fight, asking what is going on. Kate gets to her feet and asks what he is doing there. Philip says he was meeting with a Titan client and was walking back to the office when he came across them fighting. Philip asks who the women with her is. Kate introduces both Philip and Miranda and explains that Miranda is a old friend of hers from high school who has come back for a visit. Kate explains they simply had an argument and both lost their cool. Philip asks if they are sure they were friends or rivals. Miranda claims it was her fault. She brought up a sore subject and it pushed Kate's buttons. Philip asks what that was. Kate tells him it's nothing important. A frustrated Philip tells Kate that keeping secrets from him is not the way to get back into his life. Kate says she isn't hiding anything that is worth telling as she looks at a sadistically smiling Miranda.

    CHEATIN HEART



    Lucas begins to slur his speech and becomes wobbly in his seat at the bar as he talks to Joelle about how to deal with the obstacles life throws your way. Joelle realizes the drug she gave Lucas is taking effect. Her cell then rings and she thinks it may be the hospital. Lucas tells her to take it as he clenches his head. Joelle asks if he is ok. Lucas nods, saying he is fine. Joelle goes to take the phone call in the ladies room. Lucas remains at the bar, wondering why his head is spinning. He tries to get up and walk and nearly falls over. The bartender, who is bringing a drink over to someone, notices this and races over to help. He helps Lucas back to his seat and asks if he is ok. Lucas says he is fine. He thinks he may have low blood sugar or something.

    The bartender then notices a fight about to break out nearby. Lucas tells him to go ahead and take care of that. The bartender asks if he is sure. Lucas nods. The bartender leaves. Lucas then reaches for his club soda and grabs the drink the bartender was bringing over to someone. Lucas notices it seems more filled but wonders if it's his imagination. He then drinks it and notes that he is having a hard time tasting, almost like he is medicated. Lucas wonders if his lack of sleep and his long hours, on top of stress, is making him lose it as he continues to drink whatever is in the glass he mistakenly picked up.

    BRADY PUB



    Caroline, Bo, Kayla, Max, Stephanie, Frankie, Belle, Will, Marlena, and Nicole are all stunned by Alyson and Jean's announcement that her baby boy, Samuel, is Eric's son. Nicole doesn't believe it. Jean assures Nicole is true. Alyson explains that Eric and her met in Washington at a cafe. He was on a photography assignment and was being paid to photograph a Congressional dinner. She remembers how she bumped into him and spilled her coffee all over his shoes. He wasn't even angry with her and they just started talking and they ended up going together to the dinner. They went on several dates after that and she thought they had something. Marlena asks what happened. Alyson explains that Eric could never bring himself to tell her that he had to leave and go back overseas to Europe, Africa, and Australia. His time in Washington was extended a great deal after the dinner and she is grateful for that. It gave them time to date and to fall for each other.

    Nicole rolls her eyes. Alyson goes on to say that Eric told her the night before he had to go since he had no choice and he didn't just want to leave. He also didn't want to just leave a note. Alyson admits she was angry at first but she cared about him so much it didn't matter. No man had ever made her feel so special. Jean reiterates that and says her daughter had never been so happy. Alyson explains how one thing led to another that night and Eric and her made love for the first time, producing Samuel. After she learned she was pregnant, she tried to find Eric but couldn't. She then heard of his illness and marriage and thought it best to not mess with his life. Upon hearing of his death, Alyson admits that her mother began pushing her to go to Salem and tell them all about Samuel. She was worried they would be angry she took so long to come forward and was afraid of what would happen.

    Marlena tells her she had nothing to be afraid of and that they understand. They are just happy she came forward. Jean produces medical records that she claims will prove Samuel is Eric's. Marlena looks at them. Alyson says she named the baby after Eric's sister, Sami. Marlena looks up and her eyes well with tears. Alyson explains how Eric told her all about his family and how much Sami meant to him. Marlena nods, saying they were very close. Nicole thinks this is all stupid and can't believe they all forgive her for keeping Samuel a secret but punish her for having Evan and not knowing at first that he was Carrie's. Caroline tells her it's not the same. Nicole thinks they have just hated her from day one and that never changed, even when they acted in front of Eric like they were given her a chance.

    Marlena thinks Nicole needs to leave. Bo and Frankie approach her to escort her out but Nicole backs away, saying she is sick of their double standards. She then looks at Samuel and says he has Eric's eyes. Nicole becomes overcome with emotion as she looks at him and notes the splitting image to Eric that he is. Caroline tells her not to get any ideas. Samuel is Alyson's child. Alyson then mentions how Eric told her all about his past loves, including Nicole and Greta. Alyson tells Nicole that Eric did love her and that he always felt she was a lost soul. Nicole fights back tears, saying she loved him too and still does. She adds that she is more lost then ever without him. Nicole then approaches Samuel and looks lovingly at him. Jean then comes up from behind and forcefully turns her around, telling her to back off. Nicole becomes enraged and then warns her that she has no idea who she is messing with.

    UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL



    Stefano tells Cassie to excuse him and Anna and tells her not to worry. He has this taken care of. He kisses her on the forehead and exits her room with Anna. Once outside her room, Anna tells Stefano her request is simple. She wants his help in tracking down Carrie and Evan. Stefano shakes his head and says:

    Stefano: I'm not doing a damn thing for you.
    Anna (confused): Why not?

    Stefano then forcefully grabs her and holds her tightly in his arms.

    Anna (nervously): Your hurting me, Stefano!
    Stefano: Good. You will be hurt a lot worse if you ever think about trying to blackmail me again, you little wench!
    Anna: I'll scream. There are people around. This is a hospital and...
    Stefano: Scream all you want. I have nothing to be afraid of. You should know me better then that. Besides, no one in this hospital would dare stop me. Now, you listen and listen good because I get the sense you need a reminder of who I am. I'm Stefano Dimera and I can not be threatened. I can not be blackmailed. I can not be controlled in any fashion.
    Anna: I get the sense your not going to help me.
    Stefano: Good job, Anna. I knew you weren't as stupid as your actions today. You have redeemed yourself. Now, you will never threaten me or anyone in my family. Is that understood?
    Anna: Yes...
    Stefano: The next time you cross that line, Anna, dear, I won't be as lenient. Also, if you tell anyone about what you heard today in that room, I will make your life such a hell on earth you will be clamoring for the cell Orpheus had you in for months. Again, are we understood?
    Anna: Yes, Stefano. Yes!!
    Stefano: Very well!

    Stefano then lets her go and pushes her away. He then tells her to run off now and to heed his words or else. Stefano returns to Cassie's room as a frightened Anna says she will just have to find some other way to find Carrie and Evan. She also tells herself she will have to stay away from Stefano and the Dimera's from now on. She's had her fill for awhile. Anna then walks off as Stefano sits by Cassie in her room. Stefano tells her it's all taken care of and Anna won't be telling anyone about what she heard concerning Greta's hit and run. Cassie is overjoyed.

    Stefano asks her again if she promises to cooperate and to follow his conditions. He reminds her that, if not, there will be no second chance and she is all but out of his life for good. Cassie promises to listen to Stefano and to only act on his instructions. A pleased Stefano smiles and says good. He then realizes he has to make a phone call and tells her he will be right back. Cassie says ok as he kisses her hand and leaves the room. While alone, Cassie smiles and secretly vows to do whatever it takes to make up for her mistake and prove herself worthy to Stefano as being a part of the future of the Dimera legacy, even if it means going back on her word and acting without Stefano's say.

    SALEM PARK



    Philip says he doesn't even know why he bothers and tells Miranda it was nice to meet her, despite her attacking his mom. He says he almost thinks she deserves a good beating to knock some sense into her. Kate begs him not to go and asks if they can talk. Philip says he has too much going on right now and he isn't sure if he is ready to even attempt working things out with her yet. Kate tells him to call her anytime because she would really like them to talk. Philip nods and says he will see her around and then says goodbye to Miranda before leaving.

    Miranda comments on how good looking and wonderful her nephew is and how she can't understand how a woman like her could produce children that turned out as well as they did. Miranda notes that it's too bad they all have to suffer having her in their lives. Kate tells her to back off. Miranda reminds Kate that her wonderful mothering skills even got her beloved Austin killed. She tells Kate that she is a prize...a Mother of the Year candidate for sure. Kate prepares to haul back and slap her but Miranda grabs Kate's arms and warns her that the WHOLE truth about her past is going to come out and she is going to be the reason why. It will be the ultimate payback for all the hell she put their mother, sister, and herself through.

    Kate asks why she just didn't tell Philip when he was with them. Miranda tells Kate she wants to have fun first and pull the rug out from under her when she lest expects it. She tells Kate to enjoy things as they are because if she thinks they are bad now, they will be much worse when she is done. No one will want anything to do with her. Kate tells Miranda they will see. Miranda smiles and says they sure will. Miranda then confidently walks off, leaving behind a worried Kate, whose hands begin to shake as she also tries to fight back tears.

    CHEATIN HEART



    Joelle returns from the ladies room and says that it was the hospital and they just needed some information about her mother's previous medical issues and what not. Lucas has finished the whole drink and is slumped back in his chair. Joelle notices this and the bartender tells her that it seems her plan worked as her guy friend is out like a light or at least getting to that point. Joelle hears Lucas mumbling and sees that he is clearly out of it. The bartender tells her she better get him home and asks if she needs help. Joelle says she will be fine. She then helps Lucas, who comes to somewhat, to his feet and tells him they are leaving . Lucas asks if she is taking him to Sami. Joelle stops and seems affected by Lucas's words. She then looks at Lucas and his eyes while also hearing the bartender apologizing one more time to the patron who never received his drink. The bartender tells the patron he made the drink but must have given it to someone else by mistake or someone must have drank it by mistake at the bar or something.

    Joelle begins to realize Lucas must have drank the patron's drink and worries about the combination of alcohol and the drug she gave him, citing that they aren't supposed to be mixed. She then tells Lucas that she isn't taking him to Sami but they are going back to her place. She needs to be alone with home just in case something happens because of the drug and the drink. Joelle helps him walk and tells Lucas they are going somewhere to make him feel better. A disoriented Lucas says ok as Joelle struggles to help him walk out of the bar.

    BRADY PUB



    Jean tells Nicole that she is not afraid of her. She knows all about her and what she is dealing with. Marlena jumps between them and tells Nicole to just leave. Nicole looks at Samuel and says she has a right to be there. Samuel is her stepson. Caroline tells Bo and Frankie to escort her out. They both then forcefully grab Nicole and drag her out. Nicole yells out that they can't get rid of her. She then breaks free of Bo and Frankie and warns everyone in the room that she doesn't care what Eric and Austin thought she could be.. She can never be the good, kind-hearted person they could see her as. She will never be "goody-goody" like Greta. Nicole notes that, even if she wanted to be, she couldn't be because the way she is treated forces her to fight for everything she wants and to fight for what she is entitled to.

    Caroline tells her she isn't entitled to anything. Nicole tearfully says she had a right to be allowed in to Eric's funeral and to the reception that followed. She lashes out, saying there was no excuse for keeping her out of both. Nicole looks up above and apologizes to Eric and Austin, saying she knows they wanted her to go down another path but she can't and won't. She can't with the way things are. She will not be a doormat and she will not be treated the way she is. Nicole says she is sick of it and it's been going on for far too long, only now it's worse. Bo and Frankie then grab her and drag her out as she yells that this is far from over. Bo and Frankie leave her outside and warn her that if she goes back inside, she will be arrested. Nicole tells them she doesn't care. She isn't going to give up until she has what she wants. Bo asks what that is. Nicole tells him he will see and walks off.

    Bo and Frankie walk back in. Caroline asks if Nicole is gone. Bo says she is. Alyson begins to regret telling the truth, saying she knew about Nicole and her past and what she had done recently but she is now afraid of what she may do to her and the baby. Caroline admits she is afraid too. Marlena says they will just have to keep watch over him and monitor Nicole. Marlena then adds that they will also keep watch over Jean and Alyson. Alyson thanks her. Marlena tells Alyson she was clearly special to Eric and he would love his son. Marlena only wishes Samuel could know his daddy but says Eric would want the family to band together to help. Jean and Alyson thank them all for their support and help. Caroline just hopes that Nicole stays away and that they can somehow keep her in line. Belle says that's easier said then done. Kayla thinks they just have to hope for the best. Marlena and the others agree.

    Caroline, Bo, Kayla, Max, Stephanie, Frankie, Belle, Will, Marlena, and Jean all crowd around Alyson and Samuel to interact with the newfound member of the Brady family while an enraged Nicole watches from outside, saying:

    Nicole: Soon...soon I will make you all regret what you did. Enjoy the peace and joy you are feeling because it will soon come crashing down. You all won't know what hit you.

    A determined Nicole then displays an evil grin before turning around and walking off as the scene fades to black.

    DIMERA FAMILY HOME (TUSCANY, ITALY)

    Tony leads Hope and Steve into the main living room. Steve asks who the decorator is. Hope smiles, asking Steve if he has any appreciation for homes like that. Steve says all he appreciates is a cold beer, a good bratwurst and the Rams playing football on television........when they ain’t stinking up the joint. Tony walks over and tells them that they should all look around separately. He says that no one will interrupt them, seeing as the only guard is standing outside. Steve looks at Hope, saying that it is weird that there would be a guard outside now.........but most of the time, back n Salem, people walk around willy nilly without a care in the world and there isn’t a guard or cop anywhere around. Hope says that’s how things are, she guesses. Tony adds on, saying that he would be surprised if a henchman is standing in the bathroom right now.

    While Tony heads off to search some bedrooms upstairs, Hope and Steve walk into the billiard room and Hope turns a light on. Steve tells her to keep the lights off but Hope ask how does he expect anyone to see in all this darkness. Steve says he’ll use his bionic eye, to which Hope responds that his name is Steve Johnson, not Steve Austin. Well, Steve says, he is going to keep the lights off so they aren’t found out. Hope once again disagrees. Steve asks if she gives Bo this much grief, to which she responds that of course she does. That’s why they have stayed together for so long.

    At that moment, Steve walks over to a shelf and starts to take one of the books off of it. Hope runs over and tries to stop him..........but the guard who was out front is now inside and presses a lever on the wall outside the room that sends both Steve and Hope crashing downward into a dark pit. Both lay on the floor, unconscious, as Tony walks up from behind the guard and puts his arm around him, only offering two words...........

    Tony: Excellent work.

    As Hope and Steve lay on the floor, the scene shifts to..................


    BRADY PUB


    Kayla walks in and sits down in the same booth Bo is sitting in. At that moment, Lincoln walks into the Pub and takes a seat behind them. Kayla sees this and asks who that man is and what is he doing there. Bo says that he is just.............a friend. He also says that Lincoln is there to keep an eye on things. Kayla is surprised, seeing as half the time you can’t find any of Victor’s men or a cop around for nothing. Bo says he knows. She also says that they need to keep an eye on Nicole. No telling what she will do. Bo looks at Kayla and says.....

    Bo: What I hope happens is that someone smacks the [!@#$%^&*] out of her.
    Kayla: Bo!
    Bo: Don’t give me that “Bo!”stuff. With as much trouble as that girl has caused, it’s a wonder she hasn’t been dealt with any sooner.
    Kayla: But, Bo.........she feels so left out. She loved Eric so much and now this girl shows up saying that Samuel is his child? How is she supposed to feel?
    Bo: Kay, when are you going to start seeing people for who they are, huh? Nicole is no good and I’ve got more important things to worry about than some tramp who knows nothing but starting trouble.
    Kayla: Well............I guess the compassionate little brother that I had is gone now. Suppose that is what happens when you hang around Victor Kiriakis.
    Bo: Victor doesn’t have one damn thing to do with this. And you want to talk about compassion? How compassionate were you when you stole my X-Men comics and threw them away, huh?
    Kayla: That’s what you deserved for telling my boyfriend that he shouldn’t date me because I had a B.O. problem. He wouldn’t come near me for a month.
    Bo: Look, I just thought he wasn’t the right guy for you. I did you a favor.
    Kayla: Well, then............do one for me now. Keep an eye on Nicole, ok?

    Bo gets up, walks up to Kayla, hugs his sister, and says...........

    Bo: Ok. For you.........I’ll keep an eye on her. To be honest..........I’m just as worried as you are. I hope she doesn’t do something stupid.
    Kayla: So do I, Bo.

    The scene fades then fades into..........


    KIRAKIS MANSION (VICTOR'S MASTER LIVING ROOM)

    Victor sits at a huge antique table as he, Nico, and a couple of other men read over some documents that belong to Orpheus. Roman walks in and hands Victor and Nico two glasses of vintage Bordeaux as Victor tells Roman that the documents he received will prove invaluable. Victor asks how he got his hands on this information. Roman pauses and then says that Victor has his ways of doing things........and he has his own. Victor smiles, only saying.....

    Victor: Touche’.

    As the men laugh, Maggie comes downstairs and walks into the living room. She walks right up to Victor, saying in a very angry tone....

    Maggie: Greta is still laying in a hospital room, fighting for her life........and you are making plans?!
    Victor: Woman.........I have had it up to here with you going on about this. Seems like every time I see you, you tell me about Greta. Can’t you come up with another tune please?!
    Maggie: So your daughter’s well being doesn’t matter?
    Victor: I don’t need YOU or anyone else to tell me my feelings about my children. I’m the [!@#$%^&*] head of this family........and, if you don’t like it........THERE’S THE DAMN DOOR, WOMAN!!!
    Maggie: Victor.........all I’m trying to do is get you to realize that all of this.............death and destruction isn’t worth it. Can’t you see that?
    Victor: There is only one thing I want to see...........

    Stefano and Orpheus’s graves. Now...............if you’ll excuse us.............

    Maggie looks at Victor then turns and looks at Roman, who says not one word, and she then turns and storms out the living room, slamming the door behind her. Victor tells the men that they need to resume the meeting, to which Roman says....

    Roman: Seems like you and I have the same problem, Vic.
    Victor: Yes, Roman. It seems that we do indeed.

    Roman turns back around and starts looking over Orpheus’s financial records as Victor just stares at the door...........in absolute silence.

    At that moment, Victor’s face morphs into.............


    STEFANO'S PENTHOUSE SUITE

    Stefano’s face, who is standing near the huge window of the suite. He looks out on Salem as one of his men walks in with a letter. Stefano puts down his brandy sniffer and opens the letter up, reading it very quickly. He gets a determined look on his face as he thanks his guard for bringing the letter in. As Stefano dismisses him, the guard walks over to the door and then looks back, announcing that Stefano has a visitor.........

    Stefano: Yes, show him in.

    The person walks in and over to Stefano, who asks him.........

    Stefano: So, what are the Brady's up to?
    Lincoln Bane: Right now, Stefano, they have so much family drama going on the last thing Bo, his father, or Roman are thinking about is getting you.
    Stefano: Excellent, Lincoln. You have done well.
    Lincoln: As usual.
    Stefano: (laughing) Ah, the arrogance of youth. How I miss it so.
    Lincoln: Well, you’re not doing too bad in that department, Stefano. Taking on Victor and Orpheus........some may say that’s MIGHTY arrogant.
    Stefano: (putting his arm around Lincoln) No, no. Not arrogance. Playing the averages. Something my father taught me when I was a young man starting in the family. So............the Brady's don’t expect a thing, yes?
    Lincoln: Not one damn thing. We’re positioning men and equipment right now. When you give the word.......
    Stefano: We strike. Come, Lincoln. Time for a game of chess.
    Lincoln: You bet, Stefano.

    Stefano leads Lincoln into the next room when another one of Stefano’s men come in. He whispers in Stefano’s ear and Lincoln asks.......

    Lincoln: Trouble?
    Stefano: Yes.........yes, I think so.
    Lincoln: What kind of trouble?

    Stefano stares off into the distance completely incredulous, then turns and looks at Lincoln, ordering him to......

    Stefano: Find Roman Brady. Whatever you do.........do you understand?
    Lincoln: Aye, maybe I could......
    Stefano: FIND HIM DAMMIT!!!!!! IS THAT CLEAR?!
    Lincoln: Crystal.

    Lincoln stomps out, holding his rage in check, as Stefano looks down at his chessboard, takes one step forward......

    And then picks the chessboard up, throwing it against the wall and cursing Roman.....

    Stefano: That bastard!!! So........if he thinks removing his face and wiping out his memory was tragic.....

    Imagine what he’ll think when I destroy his LIFE!!!!!!!

    The scene then fades from an enraged Stefano to..............


    JOELLE'S APARTMENT


    Joelle drags an unconscious Lucas into her bedroom and drops him on her bed. She looks down at him, wondering what to do next. Lucas then starts to stir but is so out of it he doesn’t know where he is. What upsets Joelle is that he keeps calling out for Sami. But, Joelle perks up when she comes up with an idea. She slowly starts to take Lucas' clothes off as the scene then dissolves into........


    LUXURIOUS HIGH RISE APARTMENT (WHERE SAMI IS BEING HELD)


    Orpheus is monitoring what is happening at Stefano’s compound when one of his men comes in and tells him that his lady operative is about to put their plan into effect. Orpheus smiles at his man, thanking him for this latest information and ordering that Samantha Brady is not to be disturbed until Orpheus says so. The man obeys and leaves the room as Orpheus then starts upstairs to Sami’s room.

    Once there, he walks in and says hi. Sami turns and tells him that if he doesn’t want another slap, he better stay away from her. Orpheus says that he is tired of the threats. They need to learn how to be at least civil to each other. Sami says she can’t be civil. He kidnapped her and took her from her family. Now, how is she supposed to react to him? Orpheus agrees, saying that he was wrong to do that to her. It was never her. It was never her mother. His torment is only for one person......

    Roman Brady.

    Sami asks him why he doesn’t give up this stupid [!@#$%^&*] with her father. Orpheus walks closer to her, telling her.....

    Orpheus: My dear.......your father has had this on the books for 20 years. Anything I must do to get to Roman........I’ll do. And, if that means that I go through each and every person close to him......his daughters, his surviving son, his brother, sisters, his mother, and his lady........so be it.

    There is a knock at the door and Orpheus excuses himself. He steps out into the hallway, speaking with one of his men. It is one of his chief advisers, who tells him.........

    (ORPHEUS'S CHIEF ADVISOR, MICHAEL STONE-CLICK HERE!!)

    Michael Stone: Your operative is in position, so to speak. Should we pipe it through to Ms. Brady’s room?
    Orpheus: Of course. Also, make sure that none of the other channels can get anything but that, understood?
    Michael Stone: Yes sir. It’s as good as done.

    Michael walks off as Orpheus re-enters Sami’s room, long enough to tell her that there is a special program on tonight that she just might want to see. He then bids her a good night and leaves as Sami hurries and cuts on her television.

    When she looks at her television...........she sees who appears to be Lucas, laying semi-consciousness in someone’s bed. It’s Joelle’s apartment and Joelle is almost done taking off Lucas’ clothes. Joelle then stops, turns around.....

    And looks right into the camera, smiling. She then says........

    Joelle: Pity he may not remember this. Pleasant dreams..........

    And turns off the feed as a shocked and now crying Sami drops to her knees. After a few moments, she looks towards the door, jumps up, runs to it, and starts banging her hands on the door, screaming at Orpheus to........

    Sami: LET ME OUT!!!!! GET ME OUT OF HERE, YOU SICK !@#$%^&*]!!!!!! LET ME OUT OF HERE!!!!

    As Orpheus stands against the door...............laughing. The scene then freeze-frames on his face as Sami’s screams and Orpheus’s laughter can be heard as the scene slowly fades to black.

    ON THE NEXT SALEM LIVES...

    DIMERA FAMILY HOME (TUSCANY, ITALY)

    In the pit, Steve and Hope start to regain consciousness. Steve gets up to his feet and then helps Hope up. He asks if she is alright and she says that if falling into another pit is being fine, she’s just dandy. Steve wants to know if all Stefano did as a child is play in pits. He says he has more of them around than the Addams Family. They both then start to look around for some way out of there but Hope says that they are fooling themselves if they think they can get out. Steve turns to her and promises that he will get her out, which makes Hope smile, as she places her hand on his cheek. There is an awkward silence for a few moments as Steve and Hope stare at one another.............

    And at that moment, Tony yells down into the pit, asking if they are alright. That breaks their moment and both Hope and Steve yell up to Tony, saying that they are fine. Steve then asks for him to get them out and Tony says he’ll do his best. When Tony turns around................the guard is pointing his weapon at him. Tony asks what he’s doing. The guard responds..........only his job. Tony says he only wanted them down there so they won’t get hurt in Stefano’s house and to protect them in case he learned something earth-shattering. Tony was going to release them later. The guard says that his orders are coming from someone much more important than Tony............

    And the guard starts to back away from Tony. When he reaches the wall behind him, he presses another switch...........and, in the pit, gas starts to come out of the vents. Steve tries to cover Hope’s face as the gas surrounds them..........and Tony looks at the guard with hatred after what he’s done. Steve and Hope slowly start to pass out.................with consciousness slowly slipping away as they fall to the floor.


    UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL

    Forrest walks over to Abby with Dr. Dobbs. The doctor tells her that for her well being, she might want to leave Salem.........just until she gets better and completes her therapy. It would be better for her recovery to not have to deal with stress and distractions Abby doesn’t like the news at all, saying that she doesn’t want to leave her dad, especially now that he just got back home. Forrest tells her that everything will be alright.........and to prove it, he’ll go along with her, just to make sure she’s ok. Abby smiles at that and, after a few tense moments, agrees to go on the condition that she will come home when she is better. Abby doesn’t let on how worried she is but the doctor agrees to that and Forrest smiles at her. He then turns and looks at the doctor..............

    With a slight, evil grin coming across his face.


    ORPHEUS' HIGH RISE APARTMENT

    Sami stops banging on the door as a laughing Orpheus re-enters her room. He then says...........

    Orpheus: Sure didn’t take him long, did it?
    Sami: But, I heard him saying my name. He still loves me.........but not as much as I love him. (After a pause) Why are you doing this to me?
    Orpheus: To show you that the world has not stood still, my dear. Your family and friends have moved on. Embrace this opportunity........and start a brand new life here......with me.
    Sami: You are one sick bastard, you know?
    Orpheus: So I’ve been told. Gets real old sometimes.
    Sami: Then stop acting like a sick bastard and it may get better.
    Orpheus: My lady......you have such a way with words. Apparently, so does the beautiful Ms. Young. Wonder what sensual words she used to get your lover into bed with her?
    Sami: You are just as sick and twisted as Stefano. No wonder my father hates you so much.
    Orpheus: Stefano is just a blip on the radar. A huge blip.........but a blip none the less. He’ll learn...........as well your father. And now, if you’ll excuse me.

    Orpheus leaves but, before he does, he picks up the remote and turns the television back on, showing a sight that makes Sami break out and start crying again. She slowly walks over to the edge of the bed and sits down..........watching Joelle in bed with a barely conscious Lucas. She prays that Lucas was not awake when it happened.........

    JOELLE'S APARTMENT

    As Lucas tries to wake up, Joelle looks down at him, stroking his hair. All Lucas can do is think of one woman and, at that moment, he regains enough consciousness to look at Joelle and say one word.........

    Lucas: Sami..........

    He then passes out again as Joelle looks at him, disgusted. She then looks at the monitor, saying to it.........

    Joelle: Guess I’ll just have to try harder.

    Joelle then shuts the monitor off once again. Back at Orpheus' place, Sami stands up, walks over to her window...........and places her forehead against it as she cries uncontrollably.


    UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL

    Marlena walks into Barbara’s office, ready for her first session. As Barbara comes out and greets her, Will walks in behind his grandmother. Marlena is surprised to see him, telling him that Bo had called her and told her that he was on his way home with one of Victor’s men. Marlena asks where that bodyguard is. Will says that it’s no sweat. Nobody will harm him. He says that they appear and disappear so much around Salem, who can keep track. Marlena agrees and then asks what Will is there for.

    He says he wants to make an appointment to see Barbara. Marlena smiles, saying how proud Sami would be of him right now. Will smiles back, saying that he hopes she would be. Barbara asks Marlena if she is ready and Marlena says that she would feel a lot better if the good doctor saw her grandson before her. She explains that Will has been going through a tremendous amount of pain and feels that by talking it out, he can at the very least deal with it in a constructive way.

    Barbara does agree but asks if Marlena is using this as an excuse to get out of her sessions. As Belle walks through the office door, Marlena assures her that that is not the case at all. She just wants Will to get better. Barbara agrees once again and tells Will that they can go into her office. After Will walks in with Barbara, Belle asks Marlena if she has seen Roman. Marlena shakes her head no. Both ladies sit down on the couch, with Marlena saying.........

    Marlena: I pray that your dad is not in any serious danger. I don’t know what my life would be like if I lost him for a second time.
    Belle: Neither do I, Mom. Neither do I.

    Both women rest their foreheads against each other as the scene fades into..........

    Barbara’s office, where Will is sitting in a chair. Barbara tells him not to be nervous. Trust has to be earned so she doesn’t want him to tell her anything he doesn’t want to. Will smiles slightly, thanking Barbara for that. She asks him what does he feel like talking about. Will says that ever since his mother died, he just feels..........lost. He tries to open up to his dad but he sees how much pain he’s in and doesn’t want to add to it at all. Barbara understands as Will continues. He says that there have been stories in the papers about some nutcase who is raping and killing women in Missouri and Illinois and it scares him. It scares him a lot, so much so that he sleeps on the couch until his father gets home from work and then finally goes to bed.

    Barbara understands once again, saying that what he is experiencing is very normal. She then suggests that she put him under hypnosis. That may bring out what he is still struggling with. Will agrees, saying he’s sick of feeling the way he does and just wants to get better. Barbara tells him to come and lay down on the couch. Will thinks this is pretty cool. He always wondered if these couches really existed or not. After he lays down, Barbara slowly puts him under, telling him to relax and be calm. Will slowly drifts away, back to the recent past..........

    He sees the day his mother told him about what Alan did to her and then he sees flashes of that terrible night.......when Alan raped him. Will starts to cry out, telling Alan to stop. Barbara sees how upset Will is and tries to calm Will down but can’t as Will starts yelling for Alan to leave him alone.

    As Barbara tries to bring Will out of the hypnosis, he starts to lash out, swinging his arms wildly. Barbara grabs him and tries to restrain Will.........as the scene then slowly fades to black.
