(Tuesday, 8/18/98 in Barbados)
Bo is working for Maxwell Hathaway. He recently found out that Hope was forced to marry the crooked D.A Welch and he was working undercover for Abe to find out information on Hathaway.
Larry is having an affair with Gwen. Maxwell staged an art show which showed off one of the three prisms and Bo wanting to show his boss that he was loyal attempted to steal one of the objects by switching off the lights and running to the elevator. After about two minutes or so he came out of the elevator with Larry Welch saying he was going to be arrested but Maxwell said no let Bo explain himself which he eventually. (I think this will lead to him being Maxwell's right hand man which he wants.)
Also Harold Daley, a customs clerk who helped Maxwell to bring in his shady art exhibits but wanted out died. He came upon two thugs in his apartment and died but not before he gave the key of his security deposit box to Tom Horton which held incriminating evidence against Maxwell and his men.
[Background Info: About two episodes earlier Shane and Kimberly appeared. She had now returned from Paris where she was supposedly a photographer but really she was a prostitute and having hard times that's why she returned to Salem and Shane was posing as a butler in Larry and Hope's house. Tony, on his return from Europe, found Kimberly in his house she had met Daphne in Paris and she had given her the key to the Penthouse. Tony obviously found her very attractive. Anna convinced Tony to invest in her designs by Anna DiMera and contracted Gwen as her lawyer and she was also very jealous of Kimberly.]

[Background info: In previous episodes Maggie and Mickey had forbidden Melissa to see Pete Jannings but she still continued to do so behind her parent's back. Pete was to be involved in a gang fight because he was one of the members of the Vipers and Melissa begged her father to stop the fight. Well, Mickey went down to the fight and he was shot by Pete accidentally. Pete was arrested and Mickey was in the hospital in a coma. He was shot in the stomach. When Mickey recovered he made a deal with Melissa if she would stop seeing Pete he would tell the police he saw nothing the night of the shooting. Melissa agreed to this but she still saw Pete, it was Pete who made the decision for her because he said he couldn't cause her anymore grief. Tess and Chris had declared their love for each other but then Tess's husband Barry Reid came out of jail to cause problems. Although Tess told him she didn't love him he made her come live with in a little apartment and threatened Chris so that she would stay with him. He also raped her. Meanwhile Chris knew nothing of her husband and Liz whom she had confided in told her she should tell Chris but she kept on insisting she couldn't.]
Barry made Tess go to Shenanigans where he introduced himself as Tess's husband. All the while Pete didn't even know that Tess was married .
While Mickey was recuperating from his gun shot wound Maggie asked him to stay in the guest house because he was living at the Salem Inn and she figured it was a good place for him to get well.
Meanwhile Megan and her father Maxwell hatched a plot to get a child and make Bo believe it was his. You see she had told Bo that they had a child which she gave up for adoption because her mother had come between them and told a lot of lies and she believed that Bo didn't care for her anymore.
The child they planned to tell Bo was his, was really Diane's, a prostitute that Bo knew from high school. Bo got her off the street and helped her to get a job as a waitress at Shenanigans.
Nick Corelli her former pimp was now working for Maxwell Hathaway and he convinced Diane that he knew a nice family who wanted her kid. Maxwell paid Nick a great deal of money to get the kid.
Carlo was falling for Liz but she didn't know but Melissa realized this, he and Melissa threw a party to get their minds off of their problems. At the end of this episode as the credits were rolling, Melissa was kissing another guy whilst Pete was looking on in the bushes.

In Friday's and Monday's episodes Pete left Chris's house to start over and he renewed his friendship with Speed one of his Viper buddies, this was beginning of Melissa and Pete being over for good at least for now.
Anyway Sly got him a job at this joint as a stripper and whilst he was there Calliope and Eugene arrived she was there to sell her designs to the sleazy bar owner but Eugene messed it all up for her. In order to make it up to her Eugene offered to buy all her designs.
As the gang arrived in New Orleans (the gang being Liz, Carlo, Gwen, Bo, Maxwell and Megan, Larry) Hope who was forbidden to come to New Orleans by both Larry and Bo arrived also. She then ran into Bo chastised her for being there but he was still happy she was.
They went all through New Orleans together and they were nearly seen by Liz and Carlo who were in a restaurant they were in but Bo managed to get Hope out of there quickly.
After that episode, Hope went to her husband's room where everyone joined them and learnt that she had come to New Orleans the persons pleased with this Bo and Hope of course.

Liz performed in New Orleans in front of the Salemites who went there.
Back in Salem Chris was at Blondies when he ran into Tess and Barry in order to get his mind off of them he decided to throw a party. While he was there he ran into Anna and Alex Marshall and told them about Tess's marriage which no one in Salem knew about.
Meanwhile Blanche Daley, Howie Hoffsteder, Alice Horton and Dr. Horton had opened Harold Daley's safety-deposit box. It contained a diary, a disk and other document. They decided to take the disk over to Eugene's house because he had a computer. When they inserted the disk it had a lot of numbers and letters and a message that read Three prisms for power. Howie thought it was sort of code and decided to ask Eugene's help in breaking the code.
Hope and Bo locked themselves in a closet in Maxwell Hathaway's house to be close to each other and they overheard Max asking Gwen to spend the night with him. After they came out of the closet Megan also made that suggestion to Bo but in other words and Hope was seething inside.
Later that night Megan went to Bo's room and Hope was outside the window looking in and Bo saw her. I don't know why but Hope ran forward and lunged over the balcony terrace after that the credits rolled.

In yesterdays episode Liz received another note from her secret admirer she told Carlo she was going to confront this person once and for all. She had received a note telling her she could meet him in the room next to her. Carlo who was beginning to develop feelings for Liz begged her not to do so as it could be very dangerous but she went ahead anyway. The secret admirer turned out to be Neil who had shown up to surprise her.
Meanwhile back in Salem Tess had ran away from Barry to Chris's house. They were there about five minutes when Barry came knocking on the door. Chris answered and he insisted he wanted his wife and barged in. Chris ordered him out of the house and he refused to leave without Tess she grabbed for the phone to call the police but he knocked it away and started knocking her around that was when then he and Chris started to fight. Barry was getting the upper-hand at first but then Chris recovered and started beating him till he was unconscious. Don arrived in time and stopped him or else Chris would have killed him.
As the last episode finished, Hope was seen going over the balcony but she managed to hang on until made an excuse to get Megan out of the room and pulled her up.
As he and Hope were about to make love the phone rang it was Maxwell Hathaway he told Bo he had an assignment for him to do and he was very mysterious about it he told Bo he couldn't discuss this over the phone.
Hope was upset about this because she wanted him to stay and make love to her and so she asked him where is the Bo Brady she fell in love with the one who was afraid of nothing. He told her he was the only clear headed one there he had to keep them both alive.
Diane, Bo's classmate from Salem High School who was a prostitute arrived in New Orleans to get her child back from Nick who in return had sold him to Maxwell Hathaway.
When Bo arrived at the restaurant Max began to tell him how much he trusted him and he wanted to know what Bo thought about his organization. Bo told him he thought it was a cover for something else but he didn't know what and that Max's banks handled all of the dirty money as he called it.
Max told him some of his assumptions were true and that he was a member of a extremely powerful and dangerous organization and if Bo wanted to join forces with them he had to prove himself and this was to kill Diane his friend. Max wanted her out of the way because he wanted to Bo to believe that Diane's child was Megan and Bo's that she had given up years ago.

Bo agreed to kill Megan and in return he demanded $100,000 a year and 3 vehicles of his choice. Bo pretended to be dancing with Diane and he whispered to her that she was in grave danger.
They met up later at a gypsy's place they thought it was abandoned so that he could tell Diane his plan. The gypsy woman pretended to befriend them by offering soup and telling them they were in grave danger she used some sticks muttered some words and dropped them saying they would tell her what she needed to know she said one of them was to kill the other.
Elsewhere in New Orleans Maxwell Hathaway had asked Neil to get him some Medical Forms which he did but Neil had refused to sign them . Max threatened to tell Liz that he loaned him the money to buy Blondie's because his credit was so bad. He also threatened to tell the hospital Neil was trying to pedal the forms illegally to gain money he used the fact that Neil used to be a gambler to enforce his actions.
Eventually Neil gave in and signed the forms after telling Max he could go to hell.
Meanwhile the gypsy was revealed to be actually working for Nick, Diane's pimp who she had given her baby to.
As the credits rolled he revealed himself to her and paid her some money after over hearing Bo's plan.

Bo told Maxwell Hathaway the job was finished that he had killed Diane but really she was going to leave town but she never got the chance because she was killed by someone else.
When Bo took one of Max's henchmen to the scene she was already dead. Alice discovered the key word to unlocking the code on the disk and decided a plan to say that she and Tom were going to Florida for Blanche's burial and then she would catch a flight to New Orleans to tell Bo what she discovered.
Don confronted Mickey about his suspicions of him knowing who shot him. He told him he thought he made a deal with Melissa so she would stop seeing Pete by denying knowing who shot him he told him if it got out it could ruin his career.
Melissa overheard this and went to tell Pete who told her that Don couldn't prove this. She was just using this excuse to see Pete. Melissa is so pathetic sometimes.
The episode ended with Bo discovering Diane's body.

Calliope was at Euge's home. He went to the kitchen to get her a soda but he told her not to touch anything. Of course she didn't listen and ended up blowing up all of Eugene's inventions.
Eugene was livid luckily Abe arrived in time to stop any further arguing.(because I just can't take these two) Howie went to the police and told them about the guy who went over the pier. The prism was in the water (by the way I thought Howie had managed to put it away in time) however the police thought he was somehow connected to the attempted robbery seeing he fit the description and so they called Maxwell Hathaway.
Max came down to the station with Megan and Alice whom they had met up with earlier and she told them she had lost Hope. Alice explained to Maxwell how Hope had too much to drink and she was feeling neglected by Larry and she went there to look for him and that is why she was reacting that way.
Larry and Gwen were discussing the attempted robbery of the exhibit and he told Gwen he felt that Hope and Bo were somehow involved. Gwen didn't believe this was true but she asked Larry why he didn't tell Maxwell to go to hell and let them get on with their lives. Larry said he was tired of that spoiled brat Hope so Gwen told him well get a divorce then but he said no he still needed her for his campaign.
Back in Salem Abe asked Eugene if he he'd heard any word from Bo but Eugene said no and that he couldn't track them on his radar either. Abe said he was beginning to get worried.
Melissa and Pete ran into each other on the dock, Pete told her he'd gotten a place of his own and that he wanted to fix it up. It was above Shenanigans he said it wasn't as nice as Hope's but she was invited if she wanted to come.
Pete said it wasn't wise to be there on the dock so they left. Over at Blondies Liz and Neil were having dinner when the phone rang and it was for Liz the waiter told her it was Maxwell Hathaway. Earlier Neil had called and threatened him about the medical forms he told him he could tell the hospital he had signed some forms and they had disappeared and he was worried about them. Maxwell did not take this threat lightly he told Liz there was a problem with the loan on the club and he would speak to her when he got back to Salem.
Neil told her it was probably and accounting error and he would deal with it himself . Eugene arrived at Blondies where he met up with Melissa he told her Trista's cousin was coming to Salem and he wanted her to go out with him. Pete was coming through the club and he overheard as Melissa agreed to go on the date.
Back in New Orleans Howie was free to go from the police station after Maxwell told the police he didn't think he was involved. Hope was supposed to meet Bo at Oak Alley Plantation, she hitched a ride with these gypsies who told her they followed the wind and whatever direction it took them. Hope had to pay them money to take her there she also had to give the woman her dress in exchange for the woman's gypsy wear.
Bo in the mean time was wondering what was taking Hope so long he had to take a cleaning job in order for no one to suspect him. Finally Hope reached there and they embraced and kissed Bo told her he thought he had lost her and she told him you'll never lose me then the credits rolled.

In yesterdays episode Eugene met up with Trista's cousin Rick Evans he introduced him to Melissa and she welcomed him to Salem. Marlena arrived to greet Rick they weren't really cousins just by marriages I suppose he was like some distant cousin.
Bo and Hope were at Oak Alley Plantation and she tried on a dress that was from the 18th century so then the caretaker came and they tried to hide but he realized it was a trick as they came out of their hiding place he passed out from a bottle of cognac Bo had given him earlier. Bo lifted him up the stairs and put him to bed he said it was the least he could do.
Back in Salem Melissa, Marlena and Eugene were having dinner when Calliope walked in she saw Eugene there and went over to talk. Eugene wasn't very polite, after she left Eugene asked Melissa when she last spoke to Hope she said, "its been days, why?" Eugene told her he had a feeling she was in Paradise right about now.
Calliope went to the bar and ordered a drink, she and Chris made small talk and then she asked him out. (seems Calliope is very desperate for a man, either that or she wants to make Eugene jealous). Anyway, Melissa asked Rick if he wanted to take a walk which they did. They ended up on the dock of course and Rick asked her if she was now getting over someone. She said yes does it show that much, he told her if she was going to Salem University he would like to see her only as a friend of course. I think talking to him cheered Melissa up somewhat.
At The Strip Joint, Speed and Sam (Pete's boss) were pressuring Pete to perform again as usual he made a fuss. Calliope had brought over some more designs and Pete chose to go on stage as the Arabian knight he stripped to the song Lets hear It for the Boy and this time he stripped right down to a bikini that boy's got some moves. Speed and Sam told him how great he looked but Pete still wasn't sure about especially when Sam told him to keep the ladies happy.
Back at Oak Alley Plantation Bo was undressing Hope. She seemed a little nervous and she told him she was glad that they had waited. He had a dinner prepared and some Champagne (at least he was romantic about it) but Hope said she wasn't hungry. He finished undressing her and laid her on the bed. Then after a minute or so they were naked in bed together and he told her he was going to love her forever and asked her if she knew how good she felt.
They kissed again and Hope told him they should put up a sign Bo and Hope made love here for the first time. Hope said the first and second time and then she rolled on top of Bo. Then the credits rolled.
