Director Albert Alarr
Summary: It’s STILL nighttime in Salem…More of the same discussions from yesterday as they watch the rescue effort from the loft and penthouse, the girls lurk watching Patrick and Billie grow closer and Sami lurks in the closet listening to Mimi and Lucas...yawn..
SAMI'S APARTMENT
Lucas and Mimi go into Sami's apartment as Stan hides in the closet, making a little noise. Lucas opens the closet door and sees Sami's wedding gown which sets off lots of flashbacks of what happened between them by Kate, him and Sami, etc.. Lucas tells Mimi she and Rex should be together, but Stan silently vows to make that not happen. She listens as Mimi tells Rex everything's Sami's fault because she left bad karma behind. Lucas says only for him and Will, not for others. Mimi leaves saying Rex probably wonders where she is and Lucas gives one last look before closing Sami's door. Stan vows everyone's going to be heartbroken when she's done.
AT THE PIER
Abby returns to the pier/wharf wherever as they prepare for SPRING INTO FLING dance that night, Abby apologizes to Chelsea, who's apparently taken up residence there. She thinks her mom is after Patrick and he being only a guy, can't help himself to stay away from her mom. Looking perfectly awake in this never ending night, Abby asks Chelsea about her status with Patrick.
Billie and Patrick continue their neverending discussion about their lives (move on people!). She swears to not go after Bo and just hopes Bo will want to spend time with her and their daughter after they've found her and not be afraid his wife will get bent out of shape about it. She tells him to start dating her himself to prove she means it. He asks if she just asked him out for a date. The all night worker turns on some music and Billie suggests they dance as the teens lurk and watch as they do so while laughing. Abby warns Chelsea that Patrick and Billie are getting closer all the time. Billie looks up and sees Bo's face on Patrick and mellows out. Chelsea asks Abby for help with her plan to get rid of Billie. She watches as Patrick asks Billie to go to the Swing into Spring Dance that's being set up whereever they are. She accepts.
AT THE LOFT AND PENTHOUSE
Due to technical difficulties, Philip's satellite feed drops so everyone watching it (including Bart and Tony) lose the connection. Belle cries in Shawn's arms and Kate urges John to find her son. Tony chuckles how John's probably pulled out his perfectly coiffed hair over this and says this is the end for young Kiriakis. Rex tries to get the feed back as Bo feels useless for helping find his own brother and hugs Hope as they watch Shawn doing the same for Belle.
Rex hacks into the live camera feed of the rescue mission (oh give me a break!) to find Philip as they watch it both at the loft and penthouse. John warns Kate it's dangerous as Philip might get caught in the crossfire. Is she willing to risk that? She struggles with a decision, but says Philip was so proud of being a marine and would want them to proceed. John contacts the mission leader for a status update from his headset.
Bart notices how quiet it is and figures a sneak attack might be happening. He runs for their helmets and flack vests and warns Tony the smart bombs will be dropped on them. One appears to be wearing a helmet cam as they all watch the rescuers break in and shooting goes on. Both Kate and Belle squeal when they see the prisoner shot. John rewinds the tape and they look at the guy who's shot and see it's not Philip. Tony and Bart watch the feed as well and Bart gets on his knees and prays to live through this and calls for his mommy. Tony watches calmly and says that was only a scene from a movie he put on the satellite feed for those in Salem to see and tells Bart to see their surprise ending. Tony figures they'll launch a rescue team of their own from Salem.
John tells Kate that Philip wasn't there and it was just a set up. John hugs Kate (his hand is starting to shake as the drugs wear off) and apologizes for getting her hopes up.
They realize that's the case at the Loft as well. Shawn tells Bo he's going to go rescue Philip himself (LOL, he can't even ride a motorcycle without crashing it) as the previews roll...
Jan tells Mimi she didn't tell her secret to anyone and if she did, what could she do? Mimi says THIS and punch Jan in the face...
Nicole to Brady: As acting CEO I order you to get naked and they kiss...
Kate to John: No, we can't go through this, not again..(looks like she's holding the drugs)..
Hope to Shawn: You can't do this, it's insane. Belle pipes in that his mom is right, if he tries to rescue Philip, he'll be killed...
as a message pans across the screen after that...hmmm...what's this, maybe the surprise ending Tony refers to above?

Director Phil Sogard
Summary: The never-ending night in Salem continues on as Mimi returns to the pier and has it out with Jan…as John struggles with his addictio, “Stan” has the answer for him…Nancy tries to convince Chloe to tell Brady the truth…Brady and Nicole share an evening alone…Hope, Bo and Belle try to convince Shawn to let the professionals handle Philip’s rescue.
DOWN AT THE DOCKS…Mimi returns as she has flashbacks of talking to Stan there. She is determined to fined out who he is and who told him about her abortion. She sees Jan and rushes over and slaps her. Jan asks what the hell is wrong with her as Mimi rants about her telling, but Jan denies it. They argue and Mimi punches her in the face, with both of them falling into the water. They crawl back up, with Jan complaining that her coat is ruined. She is still denying that she told anyone as Mimi describes what happened. Jan is totally lost and again denies telling. Mimi threatens to tell Shawn all about the cage she found. Jan whines that Mimi has Rex…she has nothing, she lost her baby and Shawn too…but Mimi’s was her own doing. She has no one to blame but herself. Some of the words Jan uses are the same that “Stan” used which convince Mimi that she DID tell him. Jan has had enough and is leaving but before she goes, she says that Mimi still hasn’t told Rex and is still lying to him…she should be more concerned about that guy up there right now maybe telling Rex the truth. After she flounces off, Rex calls Mimi and she tells him she will be home in a few minutes.
SAMI RETURNS TO HER MOTEL…furious with Mimi for badmouthing her in front of Lucas. Of course we have the obligatory flashbacks of her transformation and she says that Mimi is going down tonight…then Nicole is next. Sami wonders where Nancy and Chloe are hiding out. She remembers seeing Nancy earlier and talking about the concert so she calls St. Lukes and finds out where they are. She says that Nicole’s life as she knows it is about to end. But first, she needs to make a delivery to John…as she picks up a baggie of drugs. She makes a call to John to meet her at the pier and goes there to wait on him.
AT THE CLINIC…Chloe is dreaming of Brady, saying it won’t be much longer until they can be together. Nancy comes in showing her a newspaper article about Brady and Nicole. Chloe doesn’t want to believe it but Nancy says she has probably lost him for good. Chloe gets upset, but Nancy says she is only trying to help. She talks about when she had cancer and Brady stood by her. Chloe says she can’t call him, if she is going to tell him, it must be in person. Excited, Nancy rushes to get Chloe’s things, but she looks in a mirror and screams, saying she isn’t ready. Nancy tries to convince her but she refuses. Nancy says in that case, she is going to go tell him herself and leaves. After she is gone, Chloe tries to call her (clinic must be next door because when Chloe calls, Nancy is now right outside the mansion). Nancy looks at her phone but does not answer it.
AT THE KIRIAKIS MANSION…Nicole is in a frisky mood as she walks in on Brady working and strips. He tells her that they have work to do and hands her a pile of papers and leaves. When he comes back, she throws her robe at him and starts kissing on him. She tells him the business part of the meeting is over and for him now to get naked as they start kissing. Later, they are both naked as he is showering her with compliments, comparing her to Chloe. She says she cannot believe that her dreams are coming true and they are together. He says that nothing will ever come between them. Later, they are basking in the afterglow on the sofa when the doorbell rings. He tells her he ordered a pizza and goes to answer it to find Nancy. She tells him that she has important news concerning Chloe.
HOPE, BO, SHAWN and BELLE…are still at the loft as Hope is trying to comfort Belle and assure her that Philip will come home safely. Shawn is determined to go and find him himself as Bo tries to talk sense into him. He tells him to leave it to the professionals, he doesn’t have a clue. But Shawn thinks he has a special weapon…Rex. He can track him down. But Bo says even if they DO find out where he is, they don’t have the skills or training to rescue him. Hope talks to Belle about being married to a cop and knowing how she feels and that someday when she has children, it becomes even more difficult. Belle tells her she doesn’t plan on having children. Well, at least until she has finished her education and is secure in her marriage. Hope and Belle overhear Bo and Shawn and they also join in trying to talk Shawn out of it. He finally says okay, they are right. But Hope tells Bo she doesn’t believe him for a minute… “like father, like son” and is sure that Shawn is just telling them what they want to hear. She fears he will try something anyway. She asks Bo to promise that he will stop Shawn and be there for him…and NOT run off somewhere with Billie again.
JOHN AND KATE…are at the penthouse as he is working with weights as therapy. They take a break and he wants to continue, but she fears he may overdo it. He promises her that they will find Philip and bring him home and blames himself for the mission not working. She assures him that he did his best and he promises not to give up. She leaves to go take a shower and he searches the room for some leftover drugs. She returns to find the empty vials scattered around. He claims that he was only throwing them away and she believes him. She goes to dry her hair as John tries to talk himself out of needing the drugs. He gets a call from Sami (calling herself the “candyman”) and he says he is not interested. She tells him that she can help him get rid of the pain so he can find Philip. She tells him that she will be at the usual spot…hurry. John dresses and sees Kate is sleeping and sneaks out, promising her that he will find Philip. He says he is not going to let that punk ruin his life…and is determined to find out who that “piece of scum is”. Cut to Stan, holding a bag of drugs…as the previews show…
Rex (to Mimi): There’s something I want to tell you. (Mimi): There is something I want to tell you too…
Nicole (to Nancy) What the hell are you talking about…(Brady): That’s what I’d like to know…what the hell are you talking about….Chloe’s still alive? (as we see Chloe outside listening)…
John (struggling with “Stan”): God, you’re not even a man…as Stan punches John and rams a needle in John’s arm…
And the credits roll…

Tape date 3/11/05
Director Herb Stein
Summary: The never-ending night STILL CONTINUES (when did it start?) in Salem continues on as as Rex surprises Mimi on the roof, Stan is busying calling or jabbing our Salemites; and Nancy speaks to Brady about Chloe..
ON THE ROOF...
Mimi returns home to find Rex's note on their door saying for her to meet him on the roof to get what she's got coming to her. Fearing that creepy guy got to Rex first, she heads that way. Her conscience starts talking to her saying she should have told Rex about the baby and the abortion earlier. Now's the time to tell Rex. She decides to tell him and trust his love and heads up to the roof. Rex greets her with a knife, but it's only part of his surprise as he turns on the light and she sees a table for two with their favorite Chinese Dinner #3 on the table with a bottle of wine. He cuts a rope and confetti falls on her as he turns on the cd with their song playing (sorry, don't know what it is). They both have something to tell each other (what's new?) and she tells him to go first (as usual). He starts playing the guitar with and sings Sonny and Cher's I've Got you Babe to her. (awww..he sure sounds a lot better than Sonny did, LOL!) Mimi starts crying because she's so touched and says she doesn't deserve it. Rex rushes to her side and says he wants to spend ever night and day with her. She hugs him and doesn't feel she can ever tell him the truth. Rex carves their initials on the wall with his knife so that their love is immortalized. Rex knows she feels guilty and probably over something little, so tells her to just block it and enjoy their night together. He takes off his jacket and pulls her on top of him on the chaise on the roof as they get their engines started...vroom vroom.
ON THE PIER
Stan hangs at the pier and sees a newlywed couple, still in tux and wedding gown (at what, 5 am?) come to see where they first met...(oh, GMAB!!) Sami remembers when she and Lucas were in bed, when he proposed while watching the couple walk away and wiping away tears. Feeling cheated for not being able to marry Lucas, revenge continues to be the name of the game.
John returns to the pier looking for his drug connection. He finds Stan and hears him on a call with the boss. John tells Stan he's still ISA and that he's under arrest. Stan threatens to turn over his client list and even though John reminds him he never BOUGHT anything from him, Stan knows he's making points. John goes to punch Stan and gets a pain in his back and falls backward. Stan pulls out a loaded syringe, saying John's gonna pay for how he helped destroy his life and goes to stab it into John's leg as John grabs his wrist to hold him off, asking how he ruined his life? Noticing how weak Stan is, John comments that he's not even a man which gives “Stan” that adrenaline rush to push John back and stab the needle into John's leg (made me even jump...OUCH!) Stan tells him he's nothing without his drugs and to enjoy his fix as he rushes off. Walking 20 ft. away he apparently text messages the boss mission accomplished.
NANCY'S MISSION TO TELL BRADY
Chloe's at the clinic still in her hospital gown (what, she doesn't have her own nighty?) and calls Nancy to stop her. Nancy knows it's Chloe calling and doesn't answer the call. Knowing Craig is the only one who can stop Nancy from telling Brady, she calls “Daddy”. We see Craig answer the phone (great to see him!!!)
Replay of Brady donning Nicole's silver robe to get the pizza and finding Nancy at the door. As always in this situation, Nicole runs up covering her privates with a message for the delivery person...(with all the scandal she's had already, she should know better). Nancy walks in seeing the clothes they had peeled off and mutters to herself she's just in time. Just as she starts to tell Brady about Chloe, Craig calls. Worried it might be about Joy being it's so late, she answers it while Brady goes upstairs to change. Craig lectures Nancy not to tell Brady, let Chloe handle it while Nicole eavesdrops outside the study. Brady comes downstairs and shuts the door to prevent her from continuing to eavesdrop. Craig gets a page and has to hang up.
We see Chloe fully dressed and packed and heads out of the clinic (don't know why she was still an inpatient there anyway). As she looks at the Kiriakis mansion, she has several flashbacks of Chloe and Brady talking about their future, the opera house and his telling her she needs to continue the career she always dreamed about.
Nicole gets a little emotional and asks Brady how they're suppose to move forward with Nancy continuing to bring Chloe into their lives. He gets a call from their Toyko office and trots up the stairs to take it as Nicole returns to Nancy. Nicole asks why Nancy is there to talk about her long dead daughter. Nancy tells Nicole that she's nothing more to Brady than a warm body. He's still mourning her precious daughter. Nicole's fur goes up and Nancy spits back that Chloe is not dead, she's still alive. Brady overhears and asks Nancy what she's talking about, that Chloe's still alive? He looks outside as the patio doors open and smells Chloe's perfume. Nancy says it must be the night jasmine scent and he agrees (do you have jasmine in your garden Brady?). He asks Nicole to leave them alone and concerned about Nancy, asks if she's okay. Nancy apologizes as she tells Brady that Chloe will always be alive to her and he says no one can replace Chloe in his heart. Nancy asks Brady to be there tomorrow when she has a little service for Chloe. He agrees although comments it's been so long. Satisfied Brady doesn't know she's alive, Chloe leaves, confident he'll be there for her when she's all healed. Nancy finds her outside and warns Chloe outside that she hopes she knows what she's doing as it could cost her the man she loves.
Stan calls Nicole to warn her there is someone that can come between him and Chloe. He calls Chloe's cell. She answers it “Dad?” and Stan tells her no. She asks if she knows him and he tells her no, but she will and hangs up. Satisfied he says everything is going his way..the camera freezes on his face as the previews roll...
Hope to Shawn and Belle as she strokes Bo's face behind her...(apparently talking about Rex and Mimi?): What's bigger than two people pledging to spend the rest of their lives together, love each other forever.. it's the biggest commitment you'll ever make.
Mimi to Rex: It's a night I won't ever forget...
Rex's reply: OK Mimi, why do you look so sad? What's wrong?
Bonnie to Patrick: If you can't have a Horton, you can do a lot worse than Billie..so I say go for it.
Abby to Chelsea: If Billie does something bad again, she could end up losing her job and arrested.
Chelsea smiles and says “Really”.
as the credits roll..

THE EARLY EDITION
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 6, 2005
Episode #10,032
Tape date – 3/14/05
Director – Herb Stein
The sun never seems to shine on Salem, (then again, with all the doom, gloom & misery in town, why should it?) as the eternal night continues with everyone migrating over to Alice’s, including the underage miscreants, except for Bo & Hope, who manage to have a rather romantic time on the docks. LOL
AT THE LOFTS Mimi & Rex are returning from their little party on the roof, but Mimi is still upset about not telling him her secret. In Belle’s apt, Bo, Hope, Shawn & Belle all argue against Shawn rushing off to find Philip. Bo pleads Shawn’s case, saying it is only via computer, & if they learn anything, they would give to proper authorities. (yeah, right!). Rex & Mimi join them, mentioning their engagement. Hope congratulates them, Belle talks of having a party, Mimi doesn’t want a big shindig, so a small dinner party it will be. Bo & Hope leave. The 4 talk about the failed rescue attempt, Rex checks the computer, but nothing new. He wants to go to Alice’s for his paycheck, as their rent is 5 days late. All decide to go.
ON THE DOCKSChelsea & Abby are still spying on Patrick & Billie, with Chelsea still complaining about Billie having “her” man. (This is sooo ridiculous). She flashes back to when she interupted Patrick & Billie dancing by doing something to the music (In that flashback…..is that an eagle on the front of Patrick’s shirt? Or the DiMera crest? Was hard to tell) Patrick & Billie stroll along the docks, deciding to go to Alice’s for a while, as Billie doesn’t want to get back until Bo & Hope are both safely in bed.
Later, Bo & Hope are strolling on the docks, same place, balloons, etc. Bo asks Hope to the Swing into Spring dance. They sit on a bench for a while, talking of Shawn, Belle, Rex, Mimi, their troubles, how they have seen them all grow up, etc. They walk along, & Bo spots a boat for sale, & insists they go aboard. As they look around, they comment on it reminding them of the Fancy Face, & Bo comments it is like taking a step back in time. And now we get treated to a very long flashback of when a very young Bo & Hope first saw the original Fancy Face, then when Bo brought Hope, blindfolded to it, complete with a white picket fence. There are more scenes of them sailing the boat….and this was one FB that was much appreciated. Back to the present, & Hope tells Bo they should buy it, she wants those times back, that life…. but he says he thought of that, too, but they have Zack to put through college, and they just can’t. He then tells her, that tho he has a child with Billie, and that is important, his priorities are straight, and she & the boys come first, always. Now Bo decides this just might be a great place for a romantic moment, & tho Hope protests about the owners perhaps returning, etc., Bo insists they can make love right there and then. Cue a few clothes coming off as they maneuver towards the bed. Fade out. LOLOL
AT ALICE’S Bonnie greets Patrick & Billie, very happy to see Patrick, but not so happy to learn Billie is an ISA agent. Billie leaves for the ladies room, & Bonnie gives Patrick what for, saying if Billie finds out all he has done, he will be doing jail time. He claims Billie knows his past is not stellar, but Bonnie gives him a hard time about not going after Jennifer. But then the light dawns, Billie is daughter of Kate Roberts who is loaded, and IS Countess Wilhelmina…..then tells him to go for it. Billie returns, Bonnie babbles as only she can, offers to buy them drinks, but Billie takes cranberry juice, while Patrick wants just a club soda.
Abby knows they are underage for Alice’s, as restaurant is closed and only bar is open. Chelsea thinks they can make themselves look older, fools around a bit with Abby’s hair, and in they go. Chelsea gets really ticked off, seeing Patrick & Billie dancing (a duet, with lyrics that say I will save a dance for you – could be Kelly Moneymaker, but not sure). Chelsea wonders why Billie is just drinking cranberry juice – and Abby fills her in on Billie’s past, & then tells her about what happened THE OTHER NIGHT at the Cheatin’ Heart. (Time flies when daylight never appears, huh?) Abby comments that Billie could lose her job if she got in that kind of trouble again. They see the 4Musketeers arrive, and panic, but are not seen. Chelsea gets an idea about spiking Billie’s drink, but Bonnie catches her
Mimi spots her brother, wondering what he is doing with Billie Reed. Bonnie comes up to them, Belle mentions a party for Mimi & Rex, & Bonnie immediately gets carried away with having it there, but Mimi protests, saying no big thing, please. As Patrick goes to say hi to Mimi, Billie says hello to Shawn, getting a really cold shoulder. They have words with Shawn telling her to stay away from his dad, & Billie telling him he should do the same with her brother’s wife. Later, Mimi is telling Belle all about the creepy guy who also knows about her abortion and is threatening to tell Rex. Belle encourages her to tell Rex, but Mimi says she has tried, but knows she will lose him. Meanwhile, Shawn is questioning Rex about breaking into the government website, and how he did it. Rex evidently tells him (O.K. If whatever info is so available on the internet, then would the government, ISA, Military also have it, and be better able to have the resources to deal with it). Shawn tells himself he has all he needs to find Philip, bring him home, and then he & Belle can finally be together. And the previews……
Hope to Bo: I don’t think you want Patrick any closer to Billie for one simple reason – you’re jealous
Billie to Patrick: All I want to do is kiss you and not stop
Jan to Mimi: …dare do anything to me…..they struggle and fall
Shawn: I will save Philip because I cannot live without Belle
Kate to Belle: “You selfish b***h”, as she slaps her across the face.
John: KATE!!! WHAT are you doing?

Episode #10,033
Tape date – 3/15/05
Director – Roger Inman
Summary: The never-ending night in Salem continues on…as Belle pays a visit to the penthouse…Billie and Patrick move their party from Alice’s to Bo and Hope’s house…Shawn is still in a mindset to save Philip…Mimi and Jan have it out, with disastrous results.
AT ALICE’S BAR…Patrick and Billie are dancing as Chelsea and Abby watch from the bar. Chelsea spikes Billie’s drink as Bonnie catches them at the bar and lectures them about being there. She threatens to call Jen. Billie looks at Patrick while they are dancing and sees Bo. The waitress delivers their drinks and she drinks as the girls watch. Billie sees them over there so she and Patrick go over to find out why they are there. He offers to take them home, but Bonnie interrupts, saying SHE will take them home (wanting Patrick and Billie to spend time together). Patrick and Billie walk off as Chelsea pours more booze in Billie’s drink (like she wouldn’t taste it?)
Shawn and Rex talk about how Rex has the access codes on his computer as Belle and Mimi talk about stopping Shawn from trying to find Philip. Shawn tells Rex that he cannot have a future with Belle until Philip is back home. Mimi asks Belle how she can tell Rex the truth about the abortion. Belle encourages her to tell him before Jan does. Meanwhile Jan is loitering outside and is approached by Stan. He tells her that he can help her make her enemies suffer if she will partner with him. She wants no part of him, but he keeps on revealing what he knows, like drugging Shawn and locking him up last summer and torturing Mimi. Jan asks how he knows all this and realizes that he is the one Mimi had a confrontation with. Stan tells her that if she plays on his team, she will win. Back inside, Mimi tells Belle that she cannot tell Rex the truth and ruin his happiness. Rex asks Shawn if he is still thinking of trying to rescue Philip and points out to him that the ISA and the Marines failed and he doubts seriously that there is anything he can do. Belle comes over and tells them she is going to check on her dad. Shawn offers to go along, but she says no, Kate would flip out if he went with her. He walks her out as Mimi and Rex decide to go as well. Bonnie tells Mimi goodnight as she sees Jan and Stan outside lurking in the bushes. She tells Rex to go on ahead because she is going to stay a while and talk to her mom about planning an engagement party so he leaves. To herself, she says those 2 are going to get what is coming to them.
Billie and Patrick ride the mechanical bull as Chelsea watches and fumes and threatens to call the cops. Billie finishes her drink and then tells Patrick she wants to dance. Patrick asks Bonnie what she served Billie and she swears it was only cranberry juice, but he thinks she is awfully relaxed. Billie comes and gets him and they hit the dance floor and dance and within a few minutes, she suggests they go somewhere else…as Abby tells Chelsea that this is all her fault.
ON THE BOAT…Bo and Hope are in bed and have just made love (on a stranger’s boat? EWWWWW!) and they reminisce about the Fancy Face. But Hope reminds him that he has memories of living on that boat with Billie as well. He doesn’t want to talk about Billie and is upset that Hope brought her up. He says it is Hope that makes his life complete. She talks about how she wishes Billie would find someone to be with, then Bo wouldn’t worry so much about her. She thinks that Patrick would be good for Billie, but Bo says he doesn’t trust him. Hope thinks he is jealous, but he denies it, saying he just doesn’t want her hanging around with Patrick. He blames him for getting Billie in trouble before, but Hope says she needs to be responsible for her own actions…as he lectured Shawn. Bo says his only concern about Billie is finding their daughter. Hope talks about how every time Billie runs off he has the need to follow her and help her…she can’t understand why someone else can’t help her. But he says that Patrick worked for the DiMeras and if Billie is involved with him, it will be trouble. Bo tells Hope that Billie’s love life is none of their business. She asks if Patrick and Billie do get involved, will he not intefere? He tells her not to worry…Billie can have anyone she wants…just not Lockhart.
Billie and Patrick go back to Bo and Hopes (thinking they are upstairs asleep) and sneak in. She asks him if he is sure he doesn’t have feelings for Jen and he says no and then asks her about Bo. She tells him she doesn’t want to talk about Bo, she only wants to kiss him and they sneak upstairs. Back at the bar, Chelsea tells Abby if Billie spends the night with Patrick, it will be her last. Upstairs, Billie and Patrick are going at it when Bo and Hope come home. They hear a noise and Bo goes storming up there, with her trying to stop him. They go in and turn on the lights to find Billie and Patrick in bed as Bo says “nice”.
AT THE PENTHOUSE…Kate is crying over Philip as John promises to find him. He has flashbacks of the pier and promises her he is okay now. They kiss and she says she don’t know what she would do without him. They talk about how both of them are there for each other. But Kate is still worried about Philip as she talks about Belle and thinks she is still in love with Shawn. John thinks that Belle is a smart girl and has changed her mind about him.
Belle arrives and tells them that she knows about the attempt to save Philip…telling her that because of Rex, they all saw it play out. Kate is furious that she was with Shawn, Bo and Hope and accuses her of not being committed to her husband. John chastises Rex for being involved and says he needs to warn the ISA to beef up their security. Belle tells Kate that Shawn was determined to go over there himself and search for Philip but they talked him out of it. Kate says maybe he should but Belle tells her it is too dangerous. Kate accuses her of not caring about Philip but Belle says it’s not true…she does, but for Shawn to try that it too dangerous, he has no training, she doesn’t want him to risk his life for nothing. Kate tells her to remember that Philip is her husband. Belle says she wants Philip back as much as Kate, but she loves Shawn too much to lose him. Kate calls her a “selfish little bitch” and hauls off and slaps her…just as John walks up. He ask WHAT are you doing?
REX AND SHAWN…go back to the loft and as Rex goes to shower, Shawn gets on his computer. Rex comes back in and catches him but Shawn says he was just checking scores. But Rex knows better and lectures him, saying if the Marines and ISA couldn’t rescue Philip, then he can’t either. He tells him that he will get caught and then Belle will have no one. Shawn says he loves Belle and he will never find a way for them to be together until Philip is back home.
BACK OUTSIDE ALICE’S…Mimi goes outside and catches Jan and Stan together as he rushes off. Jan says she doesn’t know him but Mimi calls her a liar and says she is so dead. She says not going to let her or that weirdo ruin her (or Belle’s) happiness. She calls Jan twisted and chews her out saying she ahs gone too far. Jan pushes Mimi and Mimi pushes her back. They end up on the ground in a full-fledged catfight (as Stan watches from the bushes, delighted, saying he hopes they kill each other). Jan is choking Mimi but she gets away from her. Jan goes after her but falls and hits her head on a big rock. Mimi rushes over to her and sees blood all over her, calling for her to wake up. Stan asks “how perfect is this?…gotcha Mimi…I couldn’t have done ti better myself.” Freeze Frame on the faces of Stan/Sami….as the previews show…
John (to Belle) When are you going to admit how wrong Shawn Brady is for you?…
Shawn (to Rex) Put yourself in his shoes…would you want us to give up just because it was too dangerous to save you?…
Stan (to Mimi) You are looking at murder one…death row…
Hope (to Bo) You’re over reaction tonight is all about the fact you are still not over Billie…
Patrick (to Billie) Did you bring me back her because you really wanted to be with me…or did you do it to make Bo jealous?…
And the credits roll…

Director – Albert Alarr
Summary: Sorry folks....only mini spoiler for Friday as most of the hour I had tape set there was tape problems at the uplink station. During the time the tape worked it mostly showed the end of yesterday's show...Billie & Patrick going up to her room at Bo and Hope's house, B&H coming home, hearing noise and burtsting in on them, Kate slapping Belle, Shawn telling Rex about wanting to go rescue Phil (love how everyone mentions same thing I did last week...Shawn can't even drive his motorcyle w/o crashing, LOL!), Mimi & Jan fighting, with Jan hitting her head and Sami calling 911 to report a murder. Bo opens the door and Hope apologizes, even for not warning Billie the bed isn't very strong, but didn't realize it would get such a workout (good one). Bo goes on about Patrick being the enemy. Mimi runs when she hears the police arrive...dumb..she should have stayed and said Jan fell..which she DID. She hides in the bushes nearby and most of the time that would work in Salem, but not tonight. Oops..they see Stan in the bushes, not Mimi, and question him. He says it was 2 women fighting. One cop finds a broken acrylic nail and Mimi looks at her broken nail. They let Stan go as he clearly shows them he doesn't have fancy nails. They didn't get his name and address..but I think tell him to not go anywhere after another witness says he saw 2 women fighting too, but can't see well at night. The paramedics say Jan has severe head trauma and need to rush her to hospital while the 2 cops decide to look for woman with missing nail in Alice's and don't search the area.
Belle tells John the slap was her own fault and apologizes to Kate. Kate apologizes to her too and they both acknowledge they should be there for each other under the circumstances. Belle tells John how Shawn wants to go rescue Philip himself. John tells Belle how wrong Shawn is for her.
A portion of Young and the Restless rolls, haha..and lots of rolling bars....and that was it. I emailed our emergency/vacation back up pal in Canada and she might fill in what we missed when the show airs later. If she does, she'll post it on Salem Place and email it to us and we'll post it.

John doesn’t like Shawn and his bad choices that he has been making, one right after the other. Bo Brady’s kid is just like him: stubborn and hotheaded. He keeps breaking his promises and he broke Belle’s heart. Belle wants to believe that Shawn will keep his word and not go after Phillip, but John and Kate refuse to believe. Kate lays on guilt trip about losing Phillip, but Belle says no one is giving up on him. John washes over the issue of his pain and taking charge of Philip’s rescue. Belle lays all her stock on John. As Belle leaves, we see John taking a syringe out of his pocket, until Kate says don’t. She talks about how she could have let John keep taking the drugs, but her conscience wouldn’t let her. (Sorry, tuned most of this conversation out as it was nothing new).
Belle stops outside the door and hopes that Shawn keeps his word and doesn’t go after Philip.
Shawn and Rex argue and throw guilt trips at each other over whether or not Shawn will go after him, with Rex’s help. Shawn tells Rex that he is doing it for Belle, and Rex should do it for his brother. (He lays this one on pretty thick). Rex finally agrees to help, under one condition. They will do it together, and Shawn won’t go if it’s too dangerous. Shawn refuses to make that promise, but tells Rex to get busy on his computer.
After the cops leave, Mimi tries to crawl away, only to crawl right into Stan. Stan baits Mimi about how she tried to kill Jan. Mimi offers to go tell the cops inside, but Stan says she will just be arrested and sent to jail for attempted murder, and if Jan dies, murder one and death row. He wipes some blood off the rock with his handkerchief and shoves it in Mimi’s face. He threatens Mimi and paints a very graphic picture of the execution chamber, which prompts a question from Mimi about how he knows about that room – the only person she knows to experience that was Sami Brady and she was rescued. Who is he? Cue flashback of Sami on death row. He glosses it over and tells her to worry about Jan instead. She asserts that she is not going to death row and storms off.
Bo and Billie continue to argue about her and Patrick. She claims she chose to be with Patrick – they did not drink, but dancing helped loosen up her inhibitions. Bo gets a clue and says Patrick must have spiked her drink. Billie asks why he would have to, which makes Hope agree. She notes the lipstick on Bo’s collar and says if he and Hope can have some fun, why can’t she? He tells her it is none of her business, which prompts Hope to tell him that is Billie’s point exactly, and she leaves. Patrick tells Bo he should worry more about his unhappy wife.
Patrick and Billie discuss Bo’s reaction. She is embarrassed because he treated her like a teenage daughter. Patrick thinks more like a wife. Bo acts like he has two, and it’s not Hope’s fault she is jealous, like Billie wants to believe. Billie finally clues in that Bo would not be happy if she were with anyone else but him, which is very selfish of him. Patrick wants to know if she wanted to be with him, or just make Bo jealous. Billie denies thinking about Bo, which prompts a flashback of her seeing Bo in place of Patrick on the dance floor at Alice’s. Patrick doesn’t really believe her. He thinks they should cool their jets until she and Bo sort things out.
In Bo and Hope’s room, they continue their same old argument over Bo’s overreactions to Billie. All three girls (Hope, Jen and Billie) trust him, but Bo claims he is still a DiMera flunky. Hope thinks Bo is letting the DiMeras run his life. He is very upset with Hope’s feeling that he is always putting Billie first, but she reminds him why. When he refuses to let someone else find Georgia with Billie so he can stay home, she shoves a pillow and blanket in his arms and shows him the door. Of course, he is still standing outside the door when Patrick leaves. Billie notices the pillow and blanket. (No words are exchanged, Patrick just leaves). Cue black and white negative style picture of Bo outside his bedroom with pictures of Hope and Billie on either side (the sides their rooms are on).
Previews:
Brady: "How do I say goodbye to the person I loved most in this world?"
Nancy (to Chloe): "Prepare to say goodbye to Brady for good."
I couldn’t make out my notes here….
Cop to Mimi (at hospital): "Miss Lockhart. Tell me what happened."
Sandra
The BIG news is that a NEW DAY has dawned in Salem as we see the sun shining through the window (lol)…also, Shawn remembers what happened to him…Chloe’s memorial service is about to begin…and Jan hovers near death…as the police collect evidence. (There are mainly only 2 stories going on today…and personally, I like that better…not so much jumping around).
IN A DREAM SEQUENCE (we know this because it is in black and white)…Finds Chloe and tells her that he still loves her, until Nicole walks up and points out her scars. Chloe wakes up as Nancy reminds her that her memorial service is today. She wonders what happened to the strong Chloe she once knew. She tells her that this is her last chance to tell Brady the truth and reminds her that if she stays silent, he is moving on with Nicole. She shows Chloe the urn she chose for her and dumps the dirt from one of her dead plants into it (along with a chicken bone, lol) and shakes it up. Chloe begs her not to go through with this.
Meanwhile, at the church, Brady is talking to Chloe and lights a candle for her as he says he doesn’t want to say goodbye to the only woman he has ever loved (with Nicole listening, damning Nancy). Brady hears her and tells her to leave, this is for family, he doesn’t think Nancy would want her there. He goes to talk to Father Jansen as she blows out Chloe’s candle and says it’s lights out for Chloe and she is finally going to get all she deserves. A nun comes in and Nicole asks her about the service, but she knows nothing about it. Nicole thinks that maybe Nancy was lying because she caught her and Brady together. Nancy arrives outside the church, with Chloe hot on her heels still trying to stop her. Nancy calls her stubborn and they agree on where she got it from. Nancy goes inside as Chloe says a bad situation just turned worse. Brady comes back and tells Nicole there was a mixup about the service as Nancy comes in, telling her she is not welcome there. Father Jansen can’t be there to officiate, but Nancy tells them they will have to make do. She even brought a CD of Chloe to play. Nancy hands him the urn as he stares at it as she goes to put the music on. He says it feels as if Chloe is there right now. Nancy finds Chloe in there, asking what she is doing there. She says she is there to make sure that Nancy doesn’t do something stupid. Nancy tells her to tell Brady goodbye, he is about to start his new life. Chloe puts on the CD and listens as Brady talks to the urn, telling Chloe he has missed her. He only wishes he could see and hear her again. He says he feels so close to her right now as he kisses the urn and places it on the altar. He says he knows she is with the angels in Heaven and hopes to see her there someday. Nicole tells him that what he feels is Chloe letting him go…and now he needs to let her go as well. She will be there for him…always. Nancy sees/hears this and prays that Chloe will let him know she is alive. In the sound room, Chloe realizes that the audio track isn’t playing so she tries to cover (realizing that someone may come in and try to fix the CD player) and sings along. In the sanctuary, Brady says that is NOT a recording…someone is singing and it sounds like Chloe and heads that way.
AT THE HOSPITAL…Lexie is examining Jan, saying she has a fractured skull and IF she pulls through, there will likely be brain damage or worse. We see flashbacks of Jan and Mimi fighting. Tek arrives and asks about Lexie and Abe and she talks about how difficult it is watching his condition deteriorate. She gives him info on Jan’s case and asks if there are any leads. He tells her that they have eyewitnesses of 2 women fighting and about the fingernail they found. He checks her fingernails for DNA evidence. Lexie thinks that Jan probably knew her attacker. But then she tells him that from what she knows, Jan has no friends. She suggests that he talk to Mimi Lockhart, since they have a history. She fills him about the stunt they pulled on Chloe in high school and how Jan was always an instigator. She says that if anyone would, Mimi would know what Jan has been up to. Lexie gets called away and tells him it was good to see him again. He tells her if she ever needs to talk, just call. She hugs him and leaves.
AT THE LOFT…Mimi is packing a bag and notices scratches on her arm as we see more flashbacks of the struggle. Belle comes in with breakfast and asks what she is doing. Mimi covers, saying she is packing away winter clothes. (and yes, we can see the sun shining through the windows, lol). Belle asks where Shawn is and is told that he and Rex are huddled together in the other room, with Rex’s computer. Belle sees something on the TV and is shocked. In the other room, Rex is still trying to convince Shawn that they shouldn’t get involved with Philip’s rescue…they have no training or weapons, etc. Shawn tries to shame Rex into helping as they hear Belle call for them. They rush into the other room as the news is reporting about Jan’s attack. They refer to her as an “electronics heiress” and talk to an eyewitness (Stan) about the attack. He says he only saw 2 women struggling. Belle, Rex and Shawn wonder what kind of monster could have done that as Mimi squirms. Mimi trips and spills her coffee all over Shawn, causing a rush of flashbacks for him. (We almost see a replay of the entire summer in the cage, lol). Belle asks him what is wrong and he says he remembers what happened…that Jan kidnapped him and kept him locked up (more flashbacks). He tells them about the cage and Mimi confirms it, telling them she found the cage back at Christmas, but by the time they all got there, it was gone and she had no proof it ever existed. He tells them how she conned him into coming to her house (dressed as a friend of Alice Horton’s) and that he never proposed to her. Belle realizes that if none of this had happened they would still be together and she would have never married Philip. Now, Belle is beginning to feel sorry for Jan, saying she has no one…no friends, no family and now near death…it was all for nothing. She decides she needs to go visit her but Shawn refuses to go with her. She asks Mimi, who doesn’t want to, but finally agrees to accompany her. As soon as they leave, Shawn starts on Rex again about the search for Philip. Rex, once again, tries to discourage him, but Shawn gets an idea and tells him to pack his bags…they are going to find Philip and bring him home.
Belle and Mimi arrive at the hospital as one of the nurses fills Belle in on her condition. Mimi looks at Jan through the glass as Tek calls out her name… “Mimi Lockhart…so what can you tell us about what happened to Miss Spears?”. Mimi turns and looks at him…as the previews show…
Nancy (to Brady): If Chloe is the one true love of your life…where does Nicole fit in?…
Shawn (to Rex): Nothing is going to stop me from rescuing Philip. Rex: Including Belle?…
Bo (to Billie): For all we know he could be the one keeping us from finding our daughter (as a picture of Patrick flashes)…
Jen (to Hope): It just seems strange. Hope: That you might have to share him with another woman? Jen: Yea…
Bonnie (to Mimi): You’re the one who did this aren’t you?…You are the one who tried to kill her.
And the credits roll…

Episode #10,036
Tape date – 3/18/05
Director – Herb Stein
Summary: Shawn continues to prepare for his quest to rescue Philip; Mimi is torn whether to admit her part of Jan's accident; Bo tells Billie his family comes first (about time); and Chloe is finally discovered...
BRADY HOME
Hope looks down at a sleeping Bo on the couch as she remembers their earlier argument about Billie. Furious she goes into the kitchen and starts banging pots and pans, then looks surprised as Bo comes in rubbing his eyes (LOL). Billie overhears them talking about her as she comes down tying her satin robe. Cue that smarmy smirk as she hears Hope tell Bo she could tell why he was upset Billie was with Patrick. Billie eavesdrops as Bo insists he loves her and their sons but does have a problem with Billie moving on with Lockhart as he works for the Dimeras and may be the one person to stand between him and his daughter. Hope demands Billie find her own place immediately. She slams a pan on the burner and he figures she can't be too mad if she's making breakfast for them. Hope announces she had her cereal a couple hours earlier and is off for a run..he's on his own. Billie walks in once the coast is clear and the two of them bumble around trying to make breakfast as the eggs fall on the floor. Billie offers to make him pancakes being it was her fault he had to sleep on the couch. Bo blames Lockhart. Billie tells Bo that Hope's right...he's not comfortable seeing her with any other man. He admits caring for her and just doesn't want her heart broken. Billie says her priority is to find her daughter and to get her brother home safe she says. Bo tells Billie about Shawn's announcement to go find Philip. He has to stay there to keep tabs on Shawn and she's on her own to find Georgia. She moans (now) about not being able to do it alone. Bo tells her he has to be there for his boy, his family. Hope walks in as Billie drops a plate and falls on Bo's lap. Bo's even holding Billie's leg up. Hope comments it's another accident and walks out. (You're on the right track Bo, now get Billie out of there).
DEVERAUX'S
Jen asks Patrick (who's shirtless of course) what happened to his back. He tells Jennifer about finding Abby at Alice's and his mother brought her home. Jen is furious and knows Abby wouldn't be doing this if Jack were home. He reassures her she's doing fine as Hope walks in (must be on her running route) and not even breathing hard or sweating. Patrick goes off for his run and Hope mentions Patrick's back to Jen. Jennifer said he hurt it working out and Hope agrees..it was a good work out as he and Billie broke their bed while doing it. LOL..Jen's mouth drops open and stays that way. Patrick calls his contact (now wearing his shirt...no one around to impress?) saying things are moving faster than expected and when can he expect delivery. They hang up. Jen admits to Hope she's a little sad about having to share Patrick. He'll never be Jack, but it's nice having an adult to talk to. Hope reminds Jen that Jack is gone (that's true)..and she has to move on. She encourages Jen to move on with Patrick. Jen isn't sure she's ready to move on yet. Hope notices the time and runs off (literally). Out loud Jan tells Jack she does love him, but maybe it is time for her to move on. She needs a sign from him that he understands and wants her to move on.
HOSPITAL
Tek asks Mimi about Jan as Mimi has a full flashback of her brawl with Jan in the park after she threatened to tell Shawn about the cage and chains. Tek mentions Mimi was Jan's roommate of late and shows them a photo of an acrylic nail. Best friend Belle automatically says that looks like Mimi's acrylic nail and shows it to her. Mimi tells them she had cut her nails and Belle's been too preoccupied with Shawn to notice. She tells them lots of people wear Countess W. pink (even recognizing the shade, LOL, pretty good from a poloroid Mimi!) Tek informs them they got a DNA sample of the person who tried to kill Jan, so that will help too. (surprised Belle didn't insist Mimi give them a sample of that too) Bonnie, in her candystriper outfit, pushes her cart by and happy to hear Jan, the bitch, got what's coming to her. Her mom is as supportive as her best friend as she says out loud how it would be justifiable homicide if Mimi did off Jan. Mimi's fit to be tied and asks her mom why she's dressed like that after Tek and Belle walk off. Bonnie tells her she volunteered to scored points with Mickey as he still can't decide to be with her or Maggie. Bonnie rambles on about embellishing the uniform with some nips, tucks and flourishes as Mimi's flustered and Bonnie knows why..she was the one who attacked Jan. Tek asks them where they were last night and Bonnie gives Mimi an alibi..saying she was in the back room with her when they heard the sirens. Tek thanks them and leaves and the nurse tells Belle she can go in with Jan now. Mimi NOW wants to tell Tek the truth, but Bonnie refuses to let her. Bonnie tells Mimi she should have let an old boyfriend who works at the docks would have come over and gotten unconscious Jan at the park and put her in the grinder (ewww)...as Mimi reminds her Jan wasn't even dead. Bonnie didn't care and goes off for her rounds. Belle confronts Mimi knowing that she had those nails on last night and asks if it was Mimi's nail they found. Mimi's worried if Jan will tell about the abortion and it will become public when Jan wakes up.
THE LOFT
Rex and Shawn continue their never ending debate about if Shawn should go rescue Philip. He thinks Brady will fund their mission and he can pay him back after he gets his inheritance after Grandpa Victor's estate is settled. Rex is more cautious and knows their mission would get shut down. Mad that Rex isn't cooperating the way he wants, Shawn grabs his back pack and leather jacket and says he's going alone then. He has to do this for Belle. He can't live his life like that and knows Rex would do the same thing for Mimi. Rex is thankful Mimi would never put her life at risk like that. He agrees to help Shawn and they shake on it.
AT THE CHURCH
We return to the church as Chloe continues singing the song (great to hear her beautiful voice again). Nancy tells Brady that Chloe is alive and singing in the church. He thinks she's losing it, but she insists Chloe is alive and singing in the other room. Nicole goes to check it out, but Chloe ducks out fast. Nicole notices the ancient sound system and says she knows what her donation to them will go to. Brady insists to Nancy that Chloe is dead and she was the one true love of his life. Nancy asks then where does Nicole fall in?
Nicole comes back and tells Brady about the faulty sound system and Nancy suggests they start their service. She gets up next to the urn and says her goodbye as Chloe lurks from the back. Nancy gazes over to Chloe and asks Brady if he'd like to say a few words. He does and he stands with his back to Chloe while at the urn. He says she is truly his sole mate and if he lives to 100, will always love her. Like his mom, she will always be with him and no one will ever replace her in his heart. In this special place before God, he pulls out an engagement ring in a box and proposes marriage to Chloe's urn as Nicole watches and gasps. He tells Nancy it was his mother's ring and on his mom's death bed she told his dad it was to go to Brady's true love. Brady knows he'll have to wait until he gets to Heaven to see Chloe, but the ring should go in the urn with her ashes. Nancy stops him from doing so, but says the urn is an antique and might break. She opens it for him and Brady says his part of the wedding vows and drops it in the urn. Chloe goes to leave as does Nicole and the two run into each other. Nicole looks at Chloe and softly says NO, NO.....as the preview roll....
Shawn puts his arm around Belle and looking at Rex and Mimi, said they all had something against Jan and could all be suspects, couldn't they?....
Nicole asks Brady if it's possible for the dead to come back to life...
Marlena to Roman: You want me to lie to my husband. Are you planning on lying to Kate?
John to Kate (in front of his computer): Roman and Marlena are alive...look at this...
as the credits roll..
Linda
John, Kate, Roman & Marlena talk about their night of passion, while Nicole sees a “ghost”, and Rex continues to try and find out info about Philip.
AT THE CHURCH a repeat of Brady proposing to the urn, Nicole running out, while Nancy questions Brady about his feelings for Chloe…and for Nicole. She talks about outer and inner beauty, asking which he liked better about Chloe, etc. etc. Brady cannot understand all these questions, but does defend Nicole, as Nancy berates Nicole. She asks him what he would do if Chloe were still alive, but Brady says she is dead. That is the end of it, he has to move on. Meanwhile Nicole has run into Chloe, fainted, come to seeing Chloe bending over her, and faints again. When Nancy & Brady come in, a nun is bending over Nicole (convenient, huh?) giving her water. Nicole tells them about seeing Chloe, Brady runs out into garden, spots a hooded figure (O, give me a break here) but of course it is someone else. Nancy leaves, searching out Chloe in the garden, while Nicole tries unsuccessfully to get Brady to believe her. He tells her he knows she was hurt when he talked of marrying Chloe in heaven, & apologizes (mandatory flashback here of Nicole running into Chloe 5 minutes earlier, in case we forgot). Brady tells Nicole he has now put Chloe behnd him, and can move on with his life.
AT THE LOFT, a repeat of Shawn & Rex talking about rescuing Philip, with Rex agreeing to participate. Belle & Mimi arrive, Jan is still unconscious, they all talk of who could have done this, who could be suspect….agreeing that a lot of people had issues with Jan. Belle says she called her dad, who has a new plan to rescue Philip, smaller operation, 3 or 4 people. Shawn’s ears perk up, he tells Rex to try and find out. Belle is not happy about that, as John did not like it earlier when he learned of Rex’s previous exploits in that regard. Shawn tells Rex to see what he can find out, but Rex has a hard time of it, as there is firewall on top of firewall. Belle tries to encourage Mimi to tell the police about her part in Jan’s accident before Jan does.
THE CASTLE & THE PENTHOUSE.. Marlena is watching a sleeping Roman, and flashing back to asking him to make love to her. He wakes up and they talk about what happened. Marlena is full of regret, but Roman feels it all was something that just happened. She says it cannot happen again, that tho they know Kate & John made love, they both thought they were free to do so. But both she & Roman know they are married to other people. Roman says they do not have to tell their spouses, but Marlena replies that he wants her to lie to her husband. Roman more or less says no, just say nothing. She insists this just cannot happen again, he says they were just seeking comfort from each other. As they talk back & forth, they hear a noise. They go to the wall, realize someone is digging. Both are overjoyed, with Roman saying they are finally going to be rescued.
John is at the computer, (no sign of any pain today) as Kate comes in with a breakfast tray. Her turn to flashback to their lovemaking session, they chitchat a bit. John thanks her for “everything”, wondering how he got so lucky. (?) He tells her he found out something about Philip, and they go to computer. He hits the wrong key, and excitedly tells Kate that Roman & Marlena are alive. But then realizes that it is just a video from some time back, a celebration, when all 4 of them were together, gowns & tuxes, for an award Marlena was to receive. (WHY does Days do this? Deceive the viewers into thinking John found out R&M are alive…even if for only a few minutes…hate that). They watch the video, (we see it, too) as John explains he put it on there to edit it, and never got around to it. He tells Kate he is just waiting for ISA approval of his plan, which is to use a much smaller force. She angrily asks if he thinks Shawn still wants to rescue Philip by himself, berating Shawn for being a loose cannon. John taps away at the computer, then gets a worried look, as he realizes something is amiss. Double image now, as we see Shawn next to Rex tapping away on his computer on one side, Kate hovers over John doing the same on the other. And the previews show………
Mimi: No, Mom, I’m gonna confess
Roman exclaims They’re through!, as Marlena looks thru the hole in the wall, and gasps, Oh, my gosh!!!
John: The kid’s a hothead, never know what he’ll do
Hope: Time for him to make a choice – me or his ex. He can’t have us both……as we see Bo & Billie once AGAIN in a big hugfest.

Episode #10,038
Summary: Billie moves out of the Brady house…Marlena, Roman and Jack make a break for freedom…Mimi agonizes about going to the police…Shawn and Rex hack into John’s computer and get the info they need, unbeknownst to John.
AT THE HOSPITAL…Candy striper Bonnie chats with a nurse as she spies Mimi hovering in Jan’s room. She tries to get her to leave before Jan wakes up and fingers her. Mimi tells her that she has decided to confess, much to Bonnie’s dismay. Mimi’s guilt is getting the best of her as Bonnie tells her if she does confess, she can kiss Rex goodbye forever. Mimi has a flashback of the accident as Bonnie reminds her that Jan was the aggressor. Mimi says that the worst part is that Jan was ruining her life and she did wish she were dead. But Bonnie says she got just what she deserved. Bonnie says that she will confess over HER dead body. They look over and see Jan lying there staring straight at them. Later the nurse examines her and says she is still comatose, the open eyes were just a reflex…she will likely never wake up. After the nurse leaves, Bonnie celebrates, saying Jan will probably never wake up and she will be clear. But Mimi tells her she doesn’t know the worst part…there was a witness, some guy hiding in the bushes, even though she doesn’t have a clue who he is. Mimi only wishes she had told Rex the truth from the beginning, it is all her fault and she deserves to suffer. Bonnie tells her to say nothing…that way if Jan dies, she will be okay. But Mimi fears the witness now. Mimi says she needs to come forward and tell the truth and face the consequences.
AT THE BRADY HOUSE…Billie apologizes to Bo, saying it was a mistake she ever came there and says she doesn’t want to ruin his marriage. Bo says they are not going to break up over this and wants to explain to Hope, but Billie says yes, it is all her fault. Bo tries to call Hope on her cell but can’t get her. He tries Jen’s and even though Hope is there, she tells Jen to tell him she isn’t (see below). After getting off the phone, he talks about not wanting to hurt Hope…she is the love of his life and he needs to prove it to her. He says his family is everything to him and tells Billie it would be for the best if she moves out (it’s about time). She tells him that she has already packed up her things and made arrangements with Lucas. She is going to live in Sami’s old apartment and Lucas will vouch for her…after all they are family…Hope’s worries are over.
Meanwhile at Jen’s…Jen is packing up Jack’s things, having flashbacks of him in an Indian costume. Hope comes bursting in upset over finding Bo and Billie. She tells Jen what happened and says if it doesn’t stop, their marriage is over…she has had it. Over ice cream, she and Jen talk as Jen tries to reason with her. But Hope is furious saying she feels their bond is broken. Jen thinks she is being paranoid, but Hope talks about how Bo is always taking up for Billie and how she has an addictive personality and can’t control herself. Hope fears it will only get worse. But, she says, Billie isn’t the only problem, Bo is at fault as well…being afraid to hurt Billie. But she says in the process, he is only hurting her. Jen says he doesn’t realize how much he is hurting her. Hope says she wants to lay down the law and say either Billie goes or she goes, but fears she will lose in the end. She is sure that Billie still loves Bo and she cannot trust her. Jen tells her she needs to fight for Bo. With renewed strength, Hope says she is going home to draw a line in the sand and rushes off.
After Hope leaves, Jen is going through the boxes (she is going to pack his things in the attic to make more room) and is sentimental to see that Jack saved all the Father’s Day cards Abby made for him. She also goes through some of his newspaper clippings. She looks up and says he isn’t gone, he is alive. Later, she is wandering through the house holding his picture, talking to him. She sits down on the sofa, holding his picture close.
Back at the Brady house, Billie is telling Bo goodbye and wishes him happiness with Hope and his family (as the tears flow). They hug…just as Hope comes in and sees them and accuses Billie of going after him. Bo tries to explain as Billie comes in with her bags, telling Hope she is leaving. She says she hopes they can work out their problems and leaves. Bo asks Hope if she can forgive him and of course she does. He says he is the luckiest man in the world. As they hug, Billie watches from outside, saying that door is closed, Bo is out of her life.
AT THE LOFT…Shawn is encouraging Rex to hack into John’s computer, but he hits a snag. Meanwhile, John is at the penthouse on his laptop saying that some hacker isn’t going to get the best of him, working furiously. Belle arrives, telling him and Kate about Jan being in the hospital. Meanwhile, Rex runs some kind of virus protection scan on John’s computer, hopefully giving them enough time to get in and get the info they need. As the program is running, John talks with Belle and says that maybe it was Shawn that attacked Jan. But she defends him, even though he could be a suspect, being that Jan caused their breakup. She tells him that if that is the case, then she has motive as well. But she assures them that Shawn didn’t do it, he was with her at Alice’s bar last night. But John is afraid that Shawn will hurt Belle again. As they talk, Kate is eying the laptop and notices something strange, but doesn’t say a word. Belle tells John that Shawn and Rex are only trying to help find Philip, but John says that Rex and Shawn are not capable of helping, only causing trouble. John asks Kate what she is looking at as he sits back down at the computer. Meanwhile Rex says that they were successful, the virus thing kept John at bay long enough so they could get what they needed and that John is clueless that they got in. John promises that he will find Philip and is just glad that Shawn and Rex are not involved, they could both get killed. He declares that no one could access the plans. Belle thanks her dad and hugs him and leaves and John promises to keep her up to date. Secretly, Kate thinks that Shawn may be already up to something. She doesn’t care about Shawn, she only hopes that Philip comes home safely. Shawn congratulates Rex on their success and vows to get Philip out of there. He says that all they need now is money and plans to go pay a visit to Brady and they take off.
AT THE CASTLE…Roman and Marlena hear noises and think someone may be trying to save them. Roman shows her a box of things he has been collecting over time, spoons, forks, etc. that they can use as tools for digging. They are optimistic and begin to work on a section of the wall. Later, they have a pretty good sized hole in the wall and break through the wall…to find Jack on the other side digging as well. As both sides continue to work, Jack explains that he got out of his cell and thought he was digging through an outside wall. Roman tells him that if they attempt to escape, he wants to find Cassie as well. But as they dig, a pile of debris falls on Jack. Luckily he is okay and they pull him through to their room. Jack babbles on about having to get home to Jen. Once on their side, Jack pulls out something (maybe a fork) and says they can use it to unlock their chains. As he unlocks them, they talk about rescuing Cassie as well as looking for possible other prisoners. Jack says they will get out of there or die trying. They cover up the hole in the wall as Roman says he has a plan. Jack hides behind the door with a rock as Roman and Marlena make noise. A guard rushes in and Jack whacks him over the head. But he is followed by another guard who holds a gun on Jack. Marlena distracts them by saying she is going to faint and Roman and Jack overtake the guard. Marlena exclaims “We’re going home!”…as the previews show…
Nicole: Who are you…what do you want? Stan: I am here to help you keep Chloe Loane out of Brady’s life…permanently…
Shawn (to Brady): You can’t tell your father about this…you will ruin Philip’s only chance. Brady: Just wait here until I get back, okay?
John (at his computer): What the hell are you waiting for? Kate: John, I have something I need to tell you…
Marlena (to Roman and Jack): What are we going to do?…we can’t get caught again…
And the credits roll…

Episode #10,040
Summary: Nicole finds out about the guys’ plans…Jack gets the upper hand on Tony, but the group is still in danger…As Jennifer prepares for the party, Abby, Chelsea and the Bensons are in a terrible accident…Patrick and Billie arrive on the scene, but Hope ignores Billie’s call for help.
AT THE KIRIAKIS MANSION…Nicole is outside, remembering what she saw/heard at the hospital. She has a premonition of going inside and Brady telling her that he knows Chloe is alive and how excited he is. He tells her he doesn’t care about the scars, she is beautiful inside. He tells her his heart belongs to Chloe and he is going to her. She snaps out of it as her phone rings. It is Stan calling (watching her from the bushes). He asks her if she believes him now about Chloe. He steps out as she asks him why is he helping her (as “Sami” has flashbacks of arguing with Brady). He says he wants to see everyone get what they deserve. Nicole fears that Chloe is going to steal Brady away. Stan says they will stay in touch and he leaves.
Inside, Brady, Rex and Shawn are going over their plans (Brady has doubts and concerns) as Nicole barges in telling them she won’t let them do it…it’s too dangerous. Brady pulls her aside as Rex and Shawn worry she will tell what they are up to. Brady tries to explain to her what’s going on and he promises to come back to her. She asks what if he comes back and the only person he wants is Chloe. He tells her that Chloe is dead and gone. She says that Chloe was the love of his life and he admits that he will always love Chloe, but wants to move forward with his life. He tells Nicole when he gets back, he has an important question for her. So she drops to her knee and proposes to him. He tells her this is not the place or time and swears to her he loves her and she will never lose him. To herself, Nicole thinks she has to make sure that Chloe stays dead. Rex and Shawn are upset about Nicole knowing about the mission, but Brady and Nicole return as she promises not to tell, even though she thinks it is crazy. She goes out to the foyer and calls the number Stan gave her. He answers and asks what can he do. She says she needs his help and he promises to meet her later. Brady tells the guys that they need to take a plane to get in but need a fourth. He has someone in mind…IF they will agree to help.
AT THE BRADY HOUSE…Bo and Hope are in bed as he tells her how much he hates fighting with her (but loves the making up). He offers to order Chinese takeout (they mention that Zack is with “Pop”…doesn’t that kid ever stay at home?) and they start kissing. She reminds him of Abby’s birthday party and they talk about Jen not having Jack there. Bo promises to never take Hope for granted.
AT THE DEVERAUX HOUSE…Jen is putting the finishing touches on the party by baking Abby’s cake (She says Martha Stewart, eat your heart out, lol). She looks at Jack’s picture and talks to him about Abby turning 17. She has flashbacks of when Abby was born. She writes “Happy Birthday from Mom and Dad” on the cake, saying that is the way Abby would want it. She finds the bracelet that Jack made on the island (with Maggie’s help) and has a flashback of him showing it to her. (I don’t remember this happening…but then I have skipped a lot of shows ;-) She can’t wait to give it to her…only wishing she could give her Jack. Later she has almost everything done, saying she only needs to bathe and change Jack Jr. and rushes upstairs.
MEANWHILE, BILLIE AND PATRICK…are driving along as she talks about moving out of Bo and Hope’s. Patrick says he knows where her head was after they made love…it was with Bo. She comes back with saying his was with Jennifer Horton (excuse me…that is DEVERAUX). He admits to caring about Jen, but says she is still grieving Jack. Billie talks about missing and mourning Georgia and how sometimes she imagines she hears her crying. She says she only hopes she gets the chance to hold and comfort her someday…she has a horrible feeling that she is in danger. She sees something and yells for Patrick to stop. They rush over to find the accident…Abby and Chelsea both thrown from the car and out cold. Billie calls 911 as Patrick begs for Abby to hang in there. First she is put on hold and then explains about the accident, telling them to send help, but is told there are no available units. She panics and not knowing what else to do, calls Bo and Hope’s. Of course Hope answers the phone. Billie demands to talk to Bo. But Hope is skeptical about Billie’s “emergency” saying she has only been gone 5 hours and already calling Bo for help. Billie calls her an “idiot” and Hope promptly hangs up on her (frankly, so would I have) before Billie tells her what the emergency is (Hey Billie…ever heard of the boy who cried “wolf”?) Patrick calls someone else and shortly thereafter, the cops and medics are on the scene. They report that Abby has some broken bones and maybe some internal bleeding but she is never conscious. Chelsea comes to and finds Billie over her as she asks about her mom. Billie promises she will be fine. Billie checks on Ms. Benson, who asks Billie to promise to take care of her baby as they take her away. Patrick calls Lexie and asks her to come and help. Patrick says he needs to call Jen, but Billie tells him he needs to go tell her in person, she will meet him at the hospital and he rushes off. Billie talks with Chelsea and promises her she will be okay.
BACK AT THE BRADY HOUSE…Hope hangs up the phone, and can’t believe Billie. The phone rings again and she is furious. She answers, telling Billie NOT to call back again. But it’s not Billie, it’s Jen, who asks WHAT has Billie done now. Hope explains and then promises Jen that they will be there in a little while for the party. Jen asks her to bring Alice’s cake plate and Hope asks how she is holding up. Jen tells her about the bracelet jack made. Hope tells her not to stress out, she and Bo will be there shortly to help. After she hangs up, Bo comes in with a tray and asks if anyone called while he was gone. She tells him Jen called about the party (doesn’t mention Billie). They toast their alone-time.
AT THE CASTLE…Tony and Bart have learned about the fire and are in a panic. Roman and Jack can’t get into the room to save Marlena and Cassie. Jack grabs an axe and starts whacking at the door. Inside, Cassie rushes to open then window as Marlena yells for her not to. She does anyway and causes a backdraft, blowing the door off the hinges and crushing Roman and Jack in the process. A guard comes in and finds them and reports back to Tony, who says they will all wish they were dead and they take off. Jack overtakes the guard and he and Roman start into the room as Tony and Bart arrive. Tony tells Roman not to bother saving Marlena and Cassie…they are all going to die. Jack grabs the gun from the guard as Tony says that won’t stop him. Jack shoots him in the chest, saying he has wanted to do that for a long time, happy he has the upper hand for the first time. Tony says that if Marlena and Cassie die, they won’t be heroes. Roman gets Cassie and Marlena out of the room as Marlena stares at Tony, telling him he deserves to suffer. They get Cassie to come to as Tony tells them they aren’t going anywhere. The group (now huddled together) looks up as burning debris falls all around them. Marlena, Cassie, Roman and Jack are all screaming as the floor opens up and Tony falls through, trying to cling on…Flames all around…as the previews show…
Mimi (to Bonnie): Jan is going to wake up from her coma and tell Tek that I was her attacker and then I am dead. Bonnie: That is why you need to 86 those gifts and get the hell out of Salem…
Lucas (to Rex, Shawn and Brady): If this plan is so freaking great…how come the ISA shot it down?...
Marlena and Cassie are screaming as a burning chandelier falls…
Lexie (to Billie) I am sorry…we lost her. Jen: No…oh no Lexie…not my baby!...
And the credits roll…

Episode #10,041
Summary: The captives attempt to flee the castle, but not without problems…The 3 musketeers (Brady, Shawn and Rex) try to convince a fourth to join them…Following the accident everyone gathers at the hospital, with some in serious condition…Mimi finds herself in hot water…as Bonnie tries to help and makes matters worse.
DOWN ON THE DOCKS…the guys are there waiting on someone, hoping he will join their plan…yes, it’s Lucas. They tell him about their plan and he thinks they are nuts, saying they should let the ISA or military handle it. They explain it’s John’s plan but he asks if it is such a good plan, why did the ISA shoot it down. He thinks it’s too dangerous, even though they explain that they need him. He is reluctant and wants to think it over. He asks what happens if they don’t come back…what about the women in their lives. Brady tells him that Nicole knows about it and Lucas asks what about Belle? He jumps Shawn for only doing this for his own selfish reasons, but Shawn says that Philip is family and he wants to see him safe. He asks Rex what about Mimi. But Rex tells him that he had doubts at first but he has researched it and they all do plan on coming back…he feels they are prepared. But Lucas’s concern is about his son. Brady says if he tells them no, they will understand…but they really do need his help. Lucas thinks it over as they show him the map and explain their plan. He finally reluctantly agrees as all 4 of them join hands.
AT THE CASTLE…Caroline and Victor (good to see them again) are playing cards, as she jokes about beating him, when she smells smoke. Meanwhile, Bart is searching for Tony but he is no where to be found. (He fell through at least 2 floors). He then remembers Victor and Caroline locked up and goes to save them. Meanwhile, the room is filling up with smoke as they are choking. They break a window for fresh air, but it makes it worse. They are sure no one is coming for them and are at least happy they will die together. When Bart gets there, they are both passed out on the floor. He carries Caroline out of the room and then helps Victor, telling them to follow him.
Meanwhile, Marlena, Cassie, Jack and Roman are all huddled together as Cassie is screaming they are going to die. Jack wraps himself up in a tapestry and takes off and a burning chandelier falls on him. The other hear the noise, so Roman rushes off to find out what happened. Marlena tries to assure Cassie that they will get out alive. They hear another noise as we see Roman now down in a hole with something on his leg. Marlena and Cassie are yelling for him as Jack comes up behind them, he has found a secret stairway. He instructs them to go down it and out of the castle as he goes to look for Roman. Marlena and Cassie make it outside, praying that Jack and Roman can make it out as well. Jack finds Roman and helps free him and helps him up as the castle begins to shake. Bart, Caroline and Victor are heading toward the exit as Bart looks up and yells “Oh my God” and the ceiling collapses, covering them with debris.
AT THE HOSPITAL…Mimi shows up with a balloon (saying “Get Well Soon”) and a box of candy, having flashbacks of her argument with Jan and the accident. This freaks Bonnie out, telling her to 86 the gifts and get out of Salem. Bonnie tells her to leave, this makes her look even more guilty. Bonnie takes the candy and dives in, saying she hasn’t had any candy since Maggie moved in. As she chows down, Tek walks up, telling Mimi it is time for the truth. Mimi claims she knows nothing but Tek asks why she is there. Bonnie tries to distract him, by offering him candy and he asks if she is trying to bribe him. He asks why would she be there to see Jan…she hated her. Bonnie advises Mimi not to say anything and threatens to call Mickey and sue the Salem PD for harassment. He tells them they are close to charging Mimi with attempted murder. Mimi asks him what he is talking about and he says that the fingernail they found…they found 9 more that match in Mimi’s trash. Bonnie says that means nothing. He warns them not to leave town, they are now going to search Jan’s place. After he leaves, Mimi freaks out, saying that Jan kept a diary and is sure that she is on every page. This jumps us into a LONG series of flashbacks of many of their arguments/fights and also of Mimi finding the cage and holding Jan at gunpoint. She tells her mom if they find the diary, she is dead. Bonnie says they need to find it first and take off. Later, they are at Jan’s (in the dark, with a flashlight) as Bonnie asks her where the bedroom is. We hear Tek’s voice say “upstairs” as he turns on the light, startling them. He tells Mimi that she is under arrest for attempted murder.
THE ACCIDENT…Jen is admiring her decorating handiwork as she goes over final plans for the party. Patrick comes in and tells her he has bad news and tells her about the accident as Jen freaks out. They rush off to the hospital. In the car, he tells her that they were hit by a drunk driver as she worries about Abby. They arrive at the hospital as she demands to know what is going on.
At the scene, Billie is with Chelsea, telling her not to worry. She realizes she is not breathing as the paramedic works on her. He tells her it is too late, but Billie refuses to give up and starts CPR herself. Chelsea comes to just as Lexie arrives and he tells her that Billie just performed a miracle (oh please). As Lexie is with Chelsea, Billie checks on Mrs. Benson who is in bad shape. (It seems they only sent one ambulance and it has already taken Abby to the hospital…Mr. Benson is still trapped in the car). Billie promises Mrs. Benson that Chelsea will be okay and that she has a daughter about her age as well. Lexie is finishing up with Chelsea, saying they need to get them to the hospital ASAP. She calls the commissioner to get ambulances there. Billie goes back to Chelsea who asks “Mom, is that you?” Billie tells her no, but her mom is going to be okay. She asks about Abby and her dad as Billie fills her in. The other ambulances arrive and as they load them up, Billie damns Hope for hanging up on her earlier. She says if anyone dies…it will all be her fault.
Later, they arrive at the hospital as Billie prays that Abby will be okay. Lexie comes out and says “I’m sorry…we lost her” as Jen overhears and starts crying “No…oh Lexie no…not my baby…not my baby!”…as the previews show…
Tek (to Mimi): You wanted Jan out of the way to keep Rex in the dark about your lies…
Mimi: I hated her and wanted her dead…
Stan (to Nicole) You mean about as much to me as a $2 whore…as she attacks him…
Cassie (to Marlena): They are dead…or they will be soon…
Billie (to Bo, with flashes of Chelsea, Abby and Jen): Hope wouldn’t let me talk to you. She told me to leave you alone and hung up on me…so if anyone is responsible for this tragedy…it’s her (freeze frame on Hope’s face)…
As the credits roll…

Episode #10,042
SUMMARY: Things are finally moving along as the captives finally get outside; two more of the accident victims die; Mimi tells all to Tek and Kate finds the rescue party preparing...
AT JAN'S HOUSE....
AT THE MANSION...
AT BASIC BLACK...
AT THE BLAZING CASTLE...
Victor finds Caroline sitting up, trapped under something. She can't feel her legs. Victor says he has to find some sort of lever to move the object as Bart arrives with his flashlight and tells them neither of them are going anywhere. Victor offers the reluctant Bart whatever he wants to help him lift the beam off Caroline as Bart bumbles away about Roman, Cassie, Marlena and Jack all getting away and the count won't be happy if they do too..even though it might be the count's last day, yada yada. Caroline is surprised and happy to hear the others are still alive and were there as Victor confesses that Caroline has always been the love of his life and will give his life for hers if Bart helps. Choked up, Bart agrees and they go to lift the beam as the building shakes again with more stuff toppling over. We see Jack and Roman rush into a room as Roman can't believe what they see, but it's a satellite phone, not Victor and Caroline.
Outside Marlena and Cassie still fear what's happened to those inside...cough cough..(all that smoke don't ya know?) The men rush out and Roman hugs Marlena as Cassie hugs Jack. Roman tells them Jack saved his life and calls an old ISA buddy with a plane to come fly them home. Victor and Caroline exit via another door and glad this is over (join the club Vic!) Inside Bart calls out for Tony to tell him where he is, moan, whatever. We see a bloody hand wearing the Dimera ring under a beam.
AT THE HOSPITAL AND THE BRADY'S
Patrick calls Hope from the hospital pay phone. Bo and Hope are in bed snuggling in the afterglow as Hope jumps to get the phone when it rings, but Bo tells her to hear who it is first (guess they have the answering machine set to answer on the first ring, LOL!) Hope hears Patrick say to answer the phone and grabs it to hear about the accident. She and Bo rush to head to the hospital (where's Zack NOW?).
Lexie assures Jennifer that Abby will be just fine. Jen goes in and takes her sleeping daughter's hand and kisses it as Patrick and Hope watch. Jennifer tells Abby that it's her birthday and they're suppose to be at her surprise party right now (who else was going to come to it is what I want to know?) Bo and Hope arrive and Patrick takes Hope to be with Jennifer. Later Patrick brings Jen something to drink and a blanket to keep warm as they watch Abby sleep.
After Hope goes to be with Jennifer, Bo asks Billie why she's there and she tells him how she and Patrick were the first to arrive at the accident scene. Seeing she's upset, he asks if she's okay and when she tells him no, he takes her into his arms to comfort her. He takes her over to the coffee bar and pours her some coffee. Lexie goes in to see Chelsea, who's now ready for surgery. She gets a call that the father has died in surgery. She tells Bo and Billie and doesn't know who can consent to the surgery now. Billie tells Lexie she will as Mrs. Benson asked her to look out for her daughter and the EMT witnessed it. Bo comforts Billie who wished she could have done more as Hope walks out and sees it. They compare notes about the victim's status as Lexie brings the paperwork out for Billie to sign, saying the EMT confirmed Mrs. Benson's wish. Lexie says the other doctors and her all agree that both parents might have survived had the EMT's gotten there sooner. After she walks away Bo tells Billie he should have called him, he might have been able to expedite their response (oh PALEEZ...). Billie says she did call him but Hope wouldn't let her talk to him (did she call back or have Patrick try calling Hope? The phone was still on as Jennifer called it minutes later...). Looking at Hope, she says if anyone's responsible for the Benson's death, it's Hope....as we have a close up of Hope's distraught face as the previews roll...
Bo to Hope: “Had I known about this accident I could have gotten Chelsea's parents here to the hospital sooner.”
Belle to Shawn: “You're not doing this because you love me. You're doing this because it's easier and as usual, you're putting your needs ahead of mine and everyone elses.”
Rex to Mimi: You're thinking if I leave I'll be out of touch and not know what's going on here. Mimi, is there something you don't want me to know about?
Brady kneels to light a candle at St. Lukes and we see a hooded Chloe (who apparently has carte blanche to leave the clinic any time she wants) kneeling next to him...
as the credits roll..

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 20TH, 2005
Episode #10,043
SUMMARY: Chloe and Brady have a close encounter at St. Luke’s…Stan lays out his plan for Nicole…Kate (unsuccessfully) tries to change the guys’ minds…Mimi confides in Belle…Billie continues to blame Hope, bringing Bo and Jen over to her side as well.
AT BASIC BLACK…Kate is still ranting at the guys for their plan and says they all end up dead or in prison. She goes to call John, but Shawn stops her as she asks if he is threatening her. Lucas says they all want the same thing…to bring Philip home safely. Kate continues to argue with them, but Shawn says they are wasting time, they need to go. They say they are Philip’s only chance. Brady tells Rex and Lucas to convince their mom as he and Shawn both leave. As soon as they are gone, Kate goes to call John again, saying he will be furious. Lucas convinces her to listen to him. He asks Rex to leave so he can talk to Kate alone so he reluctantly leaves. She begs them not to go, and he accuses her of not caring about Brady or Shawn. Kate says for Shawn, this is just another scheme to get Bell back, but Lucas says they are doing this to save Philip…he is their brother and they can’t leave him there, they have no choice. She worries about how John will react when he finds out. But Lucas says they will be home with Philip by then. He tells her to promise not to tell John and then asks her to look after Will while he is gone. He pulls out a letter for her to give Sami IF something should happen to him as she begs him not to go. She assures him that she will take care of Will and takes the letter. She wants him to at least talk to Will before he goes, but Lucas says he can’t…he will ask too many questions. They hug as Lucas leaves and Kate prays for their safety.
AT ST. LUKE’S…Chloe is there in a black cape praying that the surgery willbe a success and that she and Brady can be together, saving Brady from Nicole. She says she knows that Brady loves her, but if he found out what she was going through, he would drop everything as he did before (when she had leukemia) and devote himself to her. She doesn’t want to be a burden to him. He walks in behind her and asks if he can pray with her. She doesn’t respond and he asks if she is okay. She says she is fine and hurries away. She listens as he prays for a safe mission. He says he hasn’t prayed in a while, because he blamed God for Chloe’s death. He talks about how much he loves her and wishes she could come back to him…even though that is too much to ask for. After he leaves, she goes back to the altar. She says with God’s help, Brady’s prayer can come true…the miracle he prayed for can happen and they can be together.
AT THE KIRIAKIS MANSION…Nicole is wondering just HOW things could get any worse, as she worries about Brady reuniting with Chloe and dumping her. Stan shows up and comes in as she asks him how he knows so much about her. He tells her the only way to stop Chloe is to make sure she doesn’t have the surgery and hands her a paper bag. Inside, there is a surgical outfit, mask and fake nurse’s ID. She says she can’t stop the surgery. He calls her negative, as he talks about how she broke Eric Brady’s heart…marrying Lucas and turning him into a drunk…Marrying “Old Man Kiriakis” for his money, while doing Colin Murphy on the side. She demands to know who he is and he claims to only be a guy who wants her to end up with the man she loves, Brady Black…ruining his life in the process. He admits he would like to ruin her life as well…but Brady is higher on the list. He says he is her only chance…or she will lose everything she wants. She asks why does he want to see Brady suffer as Stan has flashbacks of Sami arguing with Brady. He says he needs to be punished and to see him with a lying, scheming, gold-digging bitch like Nicole is the best revenge. Nicole says that in the end, she will get everything she wants as she considers it. Stan thinks it is a no-brainer. He asks if she is in or not. But before she can answer, they hear Brady come in. She rushes out to the foyer as he tells her he is going up to pack some things (and Stan listens through the door). She hugs him and tells him to come home to her. He reminds her that he has a surprise for her when he gets home and rushes upstairs. Stan comes in and taunts her, but she declares that Brady loves her. Stan asks when/if Brady comes home, will it be to her or Chloe?...she knows what she has to do. As he leaves, he thinks “how perfect…I got him!”
AT THE LOFT…Mimi visits Belle and tells her that her life is over…she will now lose Rex and probably go to prison if Jan dies. Later, she has explained everything to Belle and says that she and her mom were stupid to go to Jan’s. Belle believes her story about the accident, but Mimi is sure that she will end up in the death chamber. Belle tries to convince her it was not her fault as Mimi asks what is she going to do now? Belle urges her to tell Rex the truth about everything…she has learned that the hard way. Rex knocks but Mimi isn’t sure if she can talk to him. Belle lets him in and he wants to talk to Mimi, so Belle goes over to Shawn’s. Meanwhile, Shawn is at his apartment, making a video message to Belle, telling her loves her and always will, and trying to explain what he did. Belle comes over and realizes he is packing a bag, and asks him where he is going. He says he is going out of town for a while and she can’t understand how he could go now. He says he is leaving because of her, he cannot be around her and not BE with her…he just needs some time away. She becomes angry, saying he is just running away like he did before. He says the truth is that he loves her. But she says he is taking the easy way out and says that Kate was right…he is selfish and immature and storms out. He says that when they return with Philip, she will understand. Back at the other place, Rex tells Mimi that he is going out of town for a few days (she thinks for school) and says maybe it is for the best. He is a bit confused and asks if there is some reason she wants them to be apart. She says no, but she is glad that he will get some time away and that she will miss him. He says that they love each other and is sure that when he gets back, she will be waiting for him. To herself, she thinks she will…unless she is in jail.
AT THE HOSPITAL…Jen is in with an unconscious Abby, talking with her, telling her all about the party she had planned. Out in the waiting area, Billie is still ranting at Hope. Bo asks her why she hung up on Billie as she tries to defend herself, but Billie just jumps all over her, saying that Hope didn’t even bother to find out what she wanted. Bo says had he known what was going on, maybe he could have helped. (Well, excuse me, but Bo…you weren’t even home…you had gone to get Chinese take out hadn’t you?). Billie says that the Bensons are dead because of her. (oh please). She puts Hope on a major guilt trip as Bo wants to know why she hung up. Hope says that Billie is like the girl who cried wolf (and she is) and thought she had just invented some new “emergency”. She says how sorry she is, but Billie says it is too late for sorry…2 people are dead because she was jealous. Bo asks why Hope didn’t even tell him Billie had called…she told him about Jen’s call. (My questions is why didn’t Billie call back?...or have Patrick call?) Hope tries to explain that Billie never told him why she was calling. Jen comes out and Hope rushes over to see how Abby is. Jen realizes that something is amiss as Billie proceeds to inform her that she called for help and Hope hung up on her…and the Bensons are dead because of it. She says that Hope is so paranoid, she doesn’t give a damn about anyone but herself…(Geez, I want to slap her face)…as Hope stands there on the verge of tears. Hope pulls Jen aside and tries to explain that Billie never told her that there was an accident, if she had known, she would done anything to help. She tells Bo she is SO sorry and he tells her that Billie is upset because of the promise she made to Ms. Benson and that maybe this is all bringing up thoughts of her own daughter. He tells her that they shouldn’t focus on the things they can’t change, there are a lot of people in pain right now, they should do what they can to help them. Again, Hope tries to explain to Jen, who is now turning on her as well. A nurse comes in and tells them that Chelsea is out of surgery, but they will have to wait until Dr. Caver comes to tell them the news, as they fear the worst. Billie fears that Chelsea is dead as well as she hugs Bo…staring at a distraught Hope…and the previews show…
Belle (to Mimi): Shawn and Rex are both going out of town…Meems is there something they aren’t telling us?...
Billie (to Hope): This is ALL your fault…you have ruined that girl’s life…
John (to Kate): …got sucked into this…I am not going to finance a suicide mission. Damn it to HELL…they are going to get themselves killed…
Philip: You haven’t gotten any orders and you don’t know what to do next…as one of the captors says “Kill him” and points the gun at Philip and a shot rings out…
And the credits roll…

Episode #10,044
SUMMARY:
The rescue group manages to zoom out of Salem despite attempts to stop them; Billie continues her accusations as Bo and Patrick come to her defense and will Philip be alive to rescue after all this?? Stay tuned...
THE LOFT
Belle and Mimi sip tea and talk about what they should tell the police about Jan. Belle figures if they knew how Jan had held Shawn hostage...but Mimi freaks saying that'll just build the fuel against her. They wonder if the guys are going out of town for something they're not telling them about. Belle figures out that Shawn has talked Rex into his rescue mission and says they have to stop them from risking their lives.
GUYS LOFT
The foursome gather in preparation of their trip. Rex finds a problem on his computer...he found out that John's onto someone tapping into his computer and has called for a full scale investigation. They realize they better get out of there before they're stopped as Rex taps away at the keys trying to sidetrack John.
The girls get to the guys loft to find them gone. Belle knows Shawn would have left a note for her and remembers him giving her the key to Grandpa Tom's trunk (in his loft) where all his precious junk is. She unlocks it to find his special cards, their snowman ornament, a video tape...which they put in the player and watch. Shawn had taped himself earlier leaving a message saying he's doing this for her/them. He knows she'll go to their special place and find it if anything happened to him. He loves her and explains what their plan is to rescue Philip. He's doing this for her because he loves her and no words can describe how much she means to him. She makes him a better person, so if he dies while rescuing Philip, he has no regrets...just knowing that she will always love him. If so, he'll be in Heaven waiting for her and will never stop loving her. Mimi says Rex could die too and Belle says not if she has anything to say about it as they rush out.
STAN refreshes his makeup and looks to see who's next on his agenda. It's Philip (who I think has got enough on his plate right now as he's telling himself he has to get out of there before it's too late.) Stan looks at the message from his mystery person with the next person's name (PFC PHILIP KIRIAKIS USMC) which is in the format used by hostage takers with different letters from magazines..but appears to be computer printed. Later on we see him reading a Warrior magazine when the phone rings and he jumps. He tells the muffled voice (thought it was Tony..but if he's dead or injured???) that he won't go after Philip! He's told to look outside his door and finds a box. He asks if it's going to blow up (LOL, like the guy would say YES) and opens it and finds gear to wear. He's shocked, saying he can't do it, but is told to follow the instructions to the letter. (voice sounds more British now) saying this is the price he pays to get revenge.
THE PENTHOUSE
Kate returns to find John on the computer. He tells her someone tampered with his ISA files and she tells him he can't report it. He asks if there's something she hasn't told him. He grimaces as she clutches him saying she's afraid she put both of their sons in danger. John gets furious as he figure out what's going on. He picks up the phone hoping to have time to stop this suicide mission.
PHILIP senses his guards haven't gotten any fresh orders and when he mentions it to the guard, gets rewarded for his brilliance with a smack in the face (cue the blood capsule in his mouth). He realizes he hit a nerve as the other guard comes in and using a stage whisper, says there's “bad news”. After a whap to Philip again, they step outside and the guard tells him about the castle and no apparent survivors. They haven't heard from the Count or Bart. They ponder what to do with their prisoner as we see Philip jerking on his chains to try and get loose. Later the guard secures the loose lock and the two guards say without orders they should kill the prisoner. Philip's not surprised by that and struggles as the guards point their guns at him.
SALEM AIRPORT
Brady says their gear and weapons are on the plane, he's going to check with the pilot. Lucas decides to call Will (who's at Uncle Mickey's and Aunt Maggie's tonight). Rex says it should be interesting if Aunt Bonnie is there too (LOL!) Lucas realizes how hard this will be for Will with Sami gone and it might be the last time he hears his son's voice. (we don't hear their conversation) Shawn steps aside to call Bo and Hope and gets their voice mail.
Bo checks his phone and sees Shawn called and returns his call on the pay phone at the hospital. Shawn said he just called to say hi and asks how they are. Bo tells him about the accident and Shawn expresses his sympathy. Bo tells him a drunk driver was responsible and as Shawn starts to talk, a plane takes off. Bo hears it and asks what's going on. Shawn thanks his dad for their earlier discussion and promises to do better. His dad was right and he was so afraid of losing Belle. He wants to do good things and make a difference. Bo tells him he's not going to take any more risks, right? Shawn says he won't and knows his limits. Rex taps him on the shoulder and Shawn says his cell is dying and he has to go. He tells the other 3 his parents won't worry about him while he's gone.
Brady returns and tells them they hit a snag...the jet's been grounded. We see John telling Kate the ISA grounded all planes from leaving Salem. Belle and Mimi walk in carrying the video. The four of them head out to the private airport to try and stop them from leaving. The rescue group is on the jet and Brady tells them $$$ talks and the pilot agreed to go. John and company arrive at the airport and a guard tells them the plane got clearance from the tower (aha, so he paid off the tower too) and is about to take off.
HOSPITAL
Billie milks the “if only Hope hadn't hung up on me” line to death, but Bo even says the rescue people got there and there's no telling how much faster even they could have responded. He promises they'll find their daughter. Lexie arrives, looking pretty forlorn. She says Chelsea survived surgery but the next few hours are critical. She will have a painful recovery and emotional one too losing both her parents. Hope walks up saying she'll pray Chelsea will be alright. Billie turns and pointing her finger at Hope..says “how can a young girl ever recover from losing both her parents? This is all your fault. You have ruined that poor girls life!” Bo tells Billie to stop and Hope feels bad enough. There's no telling a few minutes would have made that much difference. Billie tells him the doctors said it would have and it's all because of Hope's stupid jealousy that two people lost their lives (yeah, don't blame yourself for calling wolf so many times in the past and forcing Hope to hang up on you!) Bo stands in front of Billie and tells her not to talk to his wife that way. He hugs Hope and tells her Billie is just upset over all that happened earlier. After kissing Hope's forehead he goes to Billie and tells her to relax a little bit. Patrick walks up saying it's not Hope's fault. Bo tells him to butt out and Patrick says he was there and if Bo's knee jerk reaction to rush to Billie's defense all the time, Hope wouldn't have had to hang up on her. Bo should take some responsibility too. Hope rushes up to stop a fight from beginning and leaves through the swingin doors (with Patrick in her wake) so they can all cool off. Lexie gets paged by Abe. Billie tells Bo he should go after Hope, but Bo realizes if he did he would have to hurt Lockhart and that wouldn't help anyone.
Lexie calls Abe on the hospital phone and apparently he takes offense when she mentions she's working..thinking she's saying she has a job and he doesn't (well heck, she's the only working Salemite we see..everyone else is doing their own thing). Abe hangs up on her. She talks to him again and suggests a quiet evening together, perhaps watching a movie. Oops..realizing too late what she said being he's blind..suggests they listen to music and snuggle or even more...but he tells her he's tired and not to wake him when she gets home (then don't call and complain to her about not being there!). He hangs up before she can tell him she loves him as she tears up.
Hope watches Billie and Bo wait for the results of Chelsea's surgery. Patrick joins her and doesn't agree with her that she's responsible for the Benson's deaths. Patrick tells her after she hung up on Billie that he called 911 back and told them the mayor's wife was in the accident and rescue was there within 15 minutes. Hope says Bo could have had a medical helicopter out there in 5 minutes (can't 911 dispatchers do that without a commander's approval? Hopefully SOMEONE'S in charge at Salem PD as Bo's never there anyway...sorry, I digress...) Patrick says he's not taking sides, just saying it the way he sees it. He pulls Abby's lamb doll out of a sack (he went back to the house to get it, awww). Hope smiles, knowing it'll help. Patrick discourages Hope when she wants to do something to make things better. Bo feels Shawn sounded more like himself than he had in a long time and wants to tell Hope, but sees her talking to Patrick and decides to wait on that. Billie tells him they've learned that there's no time like the present after all that's happened. She feels for Chelsea, saying no girl her age should be alone as we see a flashback of her crying over Georgia's grave. She tells Bo she can't stop thinking about Georgia and Bo puts his arm around her to comfort her as Hope sees them through the door.
Patrick tells Hope the best thing she could now is leave. He suggests they take a ride and let things settle down and then come back to talk to Bo. (I'm guessing HE'S the one who left the bag for Billie below and getting Hope out just at the time it's delivered).. A nurse gives Billie a bag that someone left for her at the front desk. She opens it and is surprised as she and Bo look at it. Hope tells Patrick it's a good idea as she glances in to Bo and Billie talking (before Billie removes anything from the bag). Billie pulls out a white tshirt with GEORGIA on it and it's covered with blood....as the previews roll..
Billie to Bo: Who's doing this to us?
Mimi to Belle: No matter what I do, I'm going to lose Rex. I have to leave Salem.
John to Kate: I want you in my life because I've fallen in love with you.
Roman to Marlena (on the jet home): What John and Kate won't know won't hurt them...
as the credits roll..

Episode #10,045
Let’s all twiddle our thumbs impatiently, cause the captives are winging their way home, talking of their loved ones, while on the ground, Billie once again is ready to take off to find Georgia because of a planted clue, Mimi finds a video Rex made for her and John & Kate have a few tender moments at the airport.
NANCY RUSHES OUT TO THE NURSES STATION anxiously looking for Chloe, who turns up, having just gone for little walk. She tells Nancy about Brady coming into the chapel to pray, and how she heard all he said. She cannot wait for the surgery tomorrow, so she can tell Brady she is still alive. They leave, and we see that the nurse at the computer is none other than our disguised Nicole, in scrubs, surgical cap & glasses. (Gee, now, I never saw a nurse dressed that way just sitting at a computer) Another nurse, in white, comes along, asking if Nicole is the “floater”, and wonders why she is there at night. (Yeah, us, too). Nicole mumbles about having to finish some paper work, making sure her face is turned away. The other nurse talks about her assisting at tomorrow’s surgery. Chloe comes back, and the other nurse offers to introduce her. Nicole pulls up her mask, again mumbling about having a cough, cold or something. The other nurse tells her that she could get a sub for her, if she wants, but Nicole says she will be o.k. in the a.m. She leaves, but eavesdrops as the other nurse is assuring Chloe of what a good surgeon the doctor is, very throrough and exacting. She adds that he will examine the scans and if anything is amiss, he will cancel the surgery. Good news for Nicole, who vows to make sure the doctor gets the wrong x-rays & MRI. When the other nurse leaves, Nicole quickly goes to the folders, but Nancy comes along, catches her, asking what does she think she is doing. (Am betting this is just another red herring that Days likes to throw in. LOL)
BILLIE & BO wonder who left the pkg for Billie at the front desk, but no one knows. Bo finds a luggage tag inside with an address in Ogden, and Billie is all set to rush out there. Bo stops her, saying they should wait for the test results on the blood stains found on the sweater. The lab tech comes up, saying the blood type matches the previous sample, so Billie is ready to rush off again. Bo says he has to call Hope first, and tries, but says her cell must be turned off.
BELLE & MIMI are chastising Kate for not telling anyone what the guys were up to. Belle tells her it wasn’t bad enough Philip was in danger, & could lose his life, now 4 more may lose their lives. Meanwhile, John is having a fit about the plane being able to take off, arguing with the security guard. Belle tells Kate off, but John defends her. Belle realizes John & Kate are together and berates her dad. John tries to explain, but Belle is very angry. The girls leave and go home. Mimi decides to check Rex’s computer for a clue to where they went, but finds a video Rex made for her. Lots of footage of the two of them together, short clips, and even one of the two of them as decorations on a wedding cake. His voice over talks of how much he loves her, cannot wait to marry her, and have a family, that yes, they would adopt. Mimi is touched, but worries what Rex will do when he learns of the things she has not told him. She has a fantasy of him returning to find her being arrested, & the female cop telling Rex how Mimi murdered Jan, who knew of her abortion. Mimi says she has to leave Salem, as tears roll down her cheeks.
Back at the airport, John tells Kate he is in love with her. They acknowledge still loving their dead spouses, and hug. The security guard comes along, telling John a private jet wants to land. John goes to check it out, hoping it is the guys, who have decided to return. He returns, saying the airport cannot get an identification on the plane, but it is not the guys. (Oh, tell me that an airport would let an unknown plane land w/o knowing it’s identity. In this day when airports make you even take off your shoes so they can check them.)
JACK, ROMAN & MARLENA are all on the plane, winging their way home. (no sign of Cassie) Marlena suggests they call their loved ones on the satellite phone that Roman found, but the men say no, they want to see them in person. Jack remembers it is Abby’s 17th birthday (now changed from October, when she was really born, guess when they age you, they change your birth month, too) & maybe he will walk in on a party. He fantasizes about Jennifer making a birthday cake, & him walking in on her, hug, kiss. Then of Jen saying that Abby should be home in about an hour, & picking her up to carry her upstairs. Roman & Marlena talk of seeing John & Kate having sex, how horrified they would be to know there was a camera in the room, & then talk of their own romp in the hay. Roman cautions Marlena NOT to tell John about it. Jack continues his fantasy, seeing himself & Jennifer in bed, & hearing Abby come home. Jen rushes downstairs, shows Abby her cake, says Happy Birthday, telling her she has a big surprise for her. She tells her to close her eyes, and think of what she wants most in this world. Jack comes in, with a big red bow around him, LOL (love that Matt) as Abby opens her eyes, and rushes to give her dad a big hug. Then Jennifer brings the baby, and Jack marvels at how big he has gotten, promising to be there for every birthday from now on. Back to the present, as Roman notes that they have reached Salem. Roman, Marlena & Jack all happily look out the window at the lights down below. And the previews show……..
Billie to Bo as they ride in a car: I’ll make a deal with you. Let’s go check out the lead, then you can go home to Hope.
Jennifer to Abby, as Jack comes into the hospital room behind her: He was the best husband anyone could ever ask for.
Marlena to Roman: I’m scared
Kate to John: The past is the past, & I believe with all my heart my future is with you.

Stan tells his mystery caller that he's having fun getting revenge, but getting in and out of the outfit/disguise is a pain in the butt. Naturally we don't hear his next assignment, just that it deals with Nicole and is pure evil, which he loves.
Nicole's worried if Brady will ever forget Chloe and remembers seeing Chloe's scarred face...worried she might still be alive. Stan stops Nicole outside and tells her he's there to get Chloe out of Brady's life permanently. We see Stan driving Nicole somewhere, assuring her he's on her side. He refers to Chloe as “ghoul girl” and he knows she saw Chloe at the church..but he's on Nicole's side. He tells her she can meet her “living” nightmare. Later Stan returns to his motel room and knows he can use Nicole to get back at Brady and John as we see a flashback of them turning down her request for help. Sami says...screw with me and you'll pay as we see a split scene of her face with Stan's.
Nancy tries to talk Chloe into less riskier surgeries, but Chloe is determined not to risk losing Brady by taking the extra time it needs. Nancy brings the consent papers to Chloe and wishes Chloe were still a minor so she couldn't let her sign the paperwork. Nancy reads the disclosure statement that the patient is assuming legal responsibility for death or permanent disfigurement. Chloe takes the signed papers to the desk personally as she doesn't trust Nancy to do it. Nancy knows Brady will want to put that engagement ring on her finger when he knows she's alive. Chloe will wait on the surgery results first and goes to say goodnight to Clara with Nancy going with her. Nicole comes out of the closet, realizing it's true and Chloe will take Brady away from her. She has to stop it.
John is lifting heavy weights (oh GMAB...he's got a BACK INJURY and taking drugs to stop the pain...lifting heavy weights will not help that). Kate comes down worried about him and they fall to the floor kissing. We return to Kate stopping the action. John assures her all's well and confirms his promise to rescue her son as he grunts and gets up, back to his computer. Kate tells him how appreciative she is for what he's doing. He hugs her as Brady walks in unannounced finding them embracing. John tells Brady that Kate's helping him with his therapy and he's doing okay off the drugs. John sits down at his computer and says the idiots turned it down..no mission. John vows to get Philip home as he clenches his teeth in pain as he goes upstairs to shower and change. Privately Kate tells Brady she's worried about both John and Philip and he leaves saying what he came for can wait. Kate says to herself that Shawn Brady may be Philip's only help. In the hall, Brady tells himself he won't let Shawn mess this up. Later John comes down in shirt and jeans..hair even looks shorter (or just wet) as he tells her he'll get Philip out of there one way or the other. Kate's worried about John's safety and can't lose him too. He makes her a proposition, something that she'll want as much as he does. He wants her in his life and asks her to consider moving in permanently. He knows she'll need time to think it over, but she says she doesn't and says yes (yup, must be time for the captives to return NOW).
Abby is not happy about Jen's getting rid of Jack's things. Abby's sure that her dad is still alive and tells her mom if she loved him, she'd feel the same way. Jen tells Abby she's donating some of Jack's work to the university becaise it was so brilliantly done. Abby says the rabbit foot is proof Jack's coming home. Flashback of Jack and Jennifer dressed up over a romantic dinner when he tells her to never stop believing in miracles. Abby tells her mom to have faith and believe it's true. Mother and daughter tell each other they love each other and Jen tells Abby that Jack wouldn't want them fighting. Abby agrees. Ding dong...it's Chelsea asking for Abby to go somewhere with her and her parents. The parents come to the door as well and assure Jennifer they'll be with the girls and will bring Abby home. Jen reminds them that Abby was grounded being the girls broke curfew twice last week (hmmm...last night was last week?) Chelsea and her parents plead to Jen to let Abby come and Jen agrees. After the girls have rushed out to the car, Jennifer thanks the parents for their help in getting Abby out for a couple of hours while she sets up for Abby's surprise birthday party. Alone, she wishes Jack were there to help celebrate Abby's birthday. Looking at their cake topper, Jen didn't realize til death do us part would come so soon and hugs it. She continues reminising (better get that party going Jennifer) and feels they finally will be okay.
Jack is all clean shaven and coiffed in his guard's outfit. Angry he lost Marlena and Roman, he goes looking for them. Marlena and Roman are still doing the same thing (and very loudly too) and hear crying on the other side of the door in the hall they're in. They figure it's Cassie. Jack arrives as they open the door and Cassie rushes into their arms (is it just me or is her hair lighter in color?). Roman wants to look for more prisoners (wish they'd talk a little quieter). They argue with Roman whether to go or stay and a vase falls to the ground (their arguing was louder than the vase breaking) when they panic. Later they're in Cassie's room as the guards come to investigate. Holding a TALL candle, Cassie apologizes for breaking a vase by mistake and tells them she'll pick it up. The older guard comes on to her and defensive daddy rushes up and punches him. The other guard raises his gun and Jack rushes from behind the door to stop him and gets shot (in the side) in the struggle. Roman rushes to his defense and the guard takes off. The 3 of them get Jack to the bed as Cassie sets her candle on a table (Jack can't stand the site of blood, LOL) and Marlena looks and tells him it was only a flesh wound). Roman agrees they don't have time to look for other prisoners and Cassie's candle catches a tapestry on fire. Roman rushes them out and Cassie runs back in for her stupid bracelet..of course the door shuts and the tapestry's a blazin' as she screams. Marlena rushes back in even though Roman yells for her not to. He puts Jack down and the door slams in front of him. He can't open it as Marlena and Cassie yell for Roman to help them as the flames are all around them....as the previews roll...
Billie to Patrick: Just like yours was with Jennifer Horton (uh...that's Jennifer Deveraux).
Nicole to Brady: What if you come back and the only person you want to be with is Chloe.
then we see Roman and Jack in the burning room with Marlena and Cassie screaming as burning tapestry falls on them...and the credits roll..

Tek tells Mimi she's under arrest. Bonnie, a Law and Order fan, warns Mimi that he entrapped her and not to say a word, but Mimi's decides to finally fess up. She tells him about the argument and how Jan tripped and hit her head. She ran as she paniced and worried about what the cops would think. Bonnie tries to get her to be quiet, but Mimi says she's telling Tek everything. Mimi tells Tek about being pregnant and her abortion, how Jan found out and was blackmailing her to tell Rex if she didn't help keep Belle and Shawn apart. Tek said it sounds like she had motive and Mimi agrees, she hated Jan and wanted her dead. Bonnie tries to shush her, but Mimi tells them she's only telling the truth. She took the cowards way out and fled the scene. She holds her hands out for handcuffs, but Tek said a similar thing happened to his sister when she found herself pregnant and lost the man she loved. If Jan wakes up and confirms Mimi's story she'll be okay, but if Jan dies, he'll have to arrest her. Outside Bonnie is happy Mimi's off the hook, but Mimi realizes she's doomed either way. If Jan lives, she'd lie anyway. She'll lose Rex forever when he realizes what she did. Bonnie hugs her daughter.
Stan lurks in the bushes watching Nicole sipping her martini (why she's drinking outside I haven't a clue..Brady's long gone). We see Stan's flashback of Sami arguing with Brady about not rescuing her mother and saving his whore of a step mother while he plans his revenge. Nicole ponders (out loud) how to keep Brady and Chloe apart as Stan offers to help. He confides he doesn't want to ruin her life, just Brady's so he can't be with Opera Girl. He tells her that if he were Brady and knew the true love of his life were still alive, she'd (Nicole) be worth as much to him as a $2 whore. Nicole slaps Stan and when he turns around, his mustache is hanging loose. Fortunately Nicole's back was turned and he pats it down before she sees it loose. She agrees to do whatever it takes to hang onto Brady. He tells her to make sure the reconstructive surgery never happens.
The rescuing trio go to Basic Black as Brady knows there's a whole other access level on John's computer behind the secret panel that he can't access from home. He gives Rex the green light to go for it, but Rex is worried about what will happen to them if he does. Later he's hacking away on the computer as Lucas arrives with a metal suitcase. He opens it up to show the others, who are surprised, asking him where he got all that stuff. He says he had some stuff left over from his days as a Dimera staff member. Rex finds a huge file on John's computer and pleased with the info in it. Kate walks in and asks what's going on and Brady admits John doesn't know what they're doing. Kate goes ballistic, not wanting Philip's or her other son's lives in jeopardy as well. She threatens to call John and tells Shawn he's doing this for his own purpose and risking the other 3's lives.
Marlena comforts Cassie outside as Jack (who's had a really BAD day, hasn't he?) finds Roman unconscious (again) after the latest collapse. Jack vows to get Roman out of there, but panics when he can't wake Roman up. He tries usingCassie's and Marlena's names to bring him out of it and it works as Roman wakes up with a new found goal to get out to the women.
Lexie assures Jennifer that Abby is going to be okay, it was Mrs. Benson who went into cardiac arrest and died. Mr. Benson is in surgery, but critical as well. Chelsea has some injuries, internal bleeding, etc., but doesn't appear to be life threatening. Jen rushes to Abby. Billie feels for Chelsea and the nurse tells her that Chelsea is asking for her. Chelsea asks how her parents are and Billie just tells her that the doctors are working on them, but she'll stay with her.
Billie to Hope: They're dead because of you Hope”.
Shawn, shaking his head, says “No”.

In her room, Abby comes to, asking what happened. Jen tells her, and explains that Chelsea’s parents did not make it, but Chelsea is out of surgery and in critical condition. She gives her the stuffed lamb, & Abby hugs it, remembering her dad gave it to her.
As Billie & Bo argue about going to Ogden right now, Jen comes along, saying Hope left her phone in Abby’s room. When she hears about them going to leave for Ogden, she cautions them about notifying Hope first, she is Bo’s wife, etc. Billie has her usual tantrum, once more blaming Hope for Chelsea’s parents’ deaths, Abby & Chelsea’s injuries, etc. etc. (Puleeze……the drunk driver is the cause, someone tape Billie’s mouth shut, and for heaven’s sakes, Bo, will you stand up for your wife?)
Abby: I know, & he can see us now.
