In yesterdays episode Hope and Bo had a little picnic on the grounds of Oak Alley Plantation and then they made love. The mystery man finally arrived at Oak Alley Plantation but he wasn't seen by either Bo or Hope.
Back in New Orleans Megan demanded to know what sort of instructions were given to Maxwell's men when they captured Bo. Her father told her by whatever means possible. She was livid she told them if any of them hurt Bo they would answer to her.
When Bo and Hope returned to the plantation they were surprised to see Howie there. Bo asked him what he was doing there and he told them the whole story about how the prism fell into the bottom of the Mississippi. Bo didn't waste much time on deciding what to do he told Hope to go get changed that she had to go back to the Hathaway Mansion hope agreed although she was scared.
While Hope was upstairs dressing Bo and Howie heard a noise in the other room they went to check it out but didn't see anything however it was the mystery man who'd been following them.
When Hope came downstairs Bo told her he needed to look like a man who'd been chasing a thief for years. He and Hope went down to the river and she smeared mud all over him. When they went back up to the house Bo asked Howie to hit him. Howie couldn't bring himself to do it but then he did Bo stunned told him Howie I didn't know you had it in ya.
Back in Salem Roman and Abe were trying to assemble a crib for him and Marlena's baby. They were having a hard time fixing it so Marlena decided to make them lunch then Eugene called and told Abe he was very worried about Hope but Abe told him that he got it from a reliable source that she was in safe hands. Eugene then figured out what he meant but decided to come over anyway.
Alex Marshall received a check for $500 as first payment for writing his book but he proceeded to tear it up. Anna and Kimberly who had found it very amusing scolded him for tearing up the check. Then Tony came in and Anna told everyone they had a date Tony told her she looked very beautiful.
Over at Marlena and Romans' house they were still trying to put the crib together. Carrie had been helping and Roman told her to stop because she was going to mess everything up but she ended up being more help than trouble because she figured out how to put up the crib.
Back in New Orleans Hope arrived at the house. She pretended she was drunk but I don't think they were convinced. She started ranting and raving about Larry and they asked her if she'd seen Bo. She said no he could be at the bottom of the Mississippi for all she cared.
Bo ran into two of Maxwell's men and started to explain but they wouldn't listen and one of them shot him. He was dragged into the room where Hope, Max and Megan were and Megan began screaming like a banshee while Hope did all she could to stop from crying then the credits rolled.

In yesterday's episode a mysterious woman checked into the Salem Inn under the name Madame X DuPrix. Alex found her very strange and so he went to Kimberly and asked her if he wanted to find out about someone from Paris how would he go about it.
Melissa, Rick and Carlo threw a party down at the dock with some friends of theirs. Rick made his decision to stay in Salem then he asked Carlo if he would consider sharing an apartment with him but Carlo told him he had a very comfortable room at the Curtises.
Meanwhile in New Orleans Bo wasn't really shot it just looked that way when he came in. Anyway Larry barged in and demanded to know where Hope was. Bo of course defended her and Maxwell told him he should know better to come between a man and his wife.
Mrs. Horton then came in and gave the explanation for Hopes' absence was that she was going to Zurich to meet her father and sister and that she changed her mind at the last minute. Larry demanded proof of this which Mrs. Horton produced then she told Hope she think she should rest and stop all the drinking she has been doing.
Maxwell and Carlton proceeded to interrogate Bo when everyone else had left the room. Bo pretended that he didn't know the prism had been stolen, Carlton was still doubtful but Maxwell was beginning to believe Bo.
Larry went back to Salem without Hope and she and Bo met up later he told her she gave a convincing performance. Back in Salem Melissa asked Carlo for his help in finding out where Pete worked but Carlo declined saying she should just ask Pete himself and if he didn't want to tell her she should just leave it alone. Melissa said fine she would get someone else.
Alex was even more curious about Madame X now and he decided to move into the room opposite hers. Anna and Tony went for a boat ride on the lake that was his surprise to her he wanted her to find herself and after that he didn't know if things could be same between them but he told her he would always love her.
This really shook Anna up and she decided that he was right she had to be independent. Tony told her he wanted a woman that was his equal. Then the episode ended.

Melissa and Maggie were at Hope and Larry's house to welcome them home. Hope and Larry were arguing as they came through the door. Larry demanded to know what they were doing there.
Maggie just explained that they just brought over some food and filled the refrigerator for them, Larry apologized and immediately excused himself saying he had to get back to the office.
After he left Maggie asked Hope what was strong she kept saying she was happy but she didn't buy it. Hope managed to talk her way out of it by saying it was the pregnancy. Afterwards Maggie left and asked Melissa if she was coming Melissa said no she needed to ask Hope some advice.
Melissa told her it's Bo right, Hope denied it and Melissa said its just that she can't imagine her with anyone else but Bo.
After Melissa left Hope received a call from Abe she was to say her car was stalled and have Gene pick her up. Hope said okay and went upstairs just then Shane arrived Hope had left her purse on the sofa and when she came downstairs she caught Shane going through it and she threw her shoe at him, he ducked and it missed.
Hope immediately ordered him out of her house and threatened to call the police, Shane told her Larry would have something different to say about it. Hope told him she was leaving and by the time she got back he'd better be gone.
When she left Shane said I swear that woman looks even better when she's angry. At Shenanigans Calliope ordered a burger and a soda it came to $3.75 but she didn't have enough to pay for it. She told Danny this and he told her he could put it on a tab, she confided to Danny that she was about to be evicted out of her apartment for not paying her rent.
Danny told Eugene and told him he had to do something about it. Eugene sat down and talked to Calliope and told her he would help her but she refused stating she was not a charity case. She came up with some hair raising idea saying she would make outfits for cats and dogs and parakeets because they needed clothes too.
At the park Marlena ran into Maggie who asked her to speak to Hope and she said she would, Marlena left just as Don arrived. Maggie told him she was worried about Mickey not about his health but his state of mind, Don asked her how she felt about Mickey and she couldn't answer.
Hope had left the house and pretended her car was stalled, then she picked up the phone and called Eugene who said he was on his way over. Just then Marlena arrived she asked Hope why wasn't she showing just a little yet. Hope told her she must be just like her mother she heard she didn't show until she was six months. Eugene arrived and Hope hurried Marlena out telling her she would talk to her later.
Tess was in the park on the phone talking to Chris when Barry walked up, he told her he had gotten a new job and he was going to pay the hospital bill. It was as a chauffeur at this rich guy's house (probably Maxwell Hathaway) and he was going to get them a house and everything. Tess told him she couldn't go back but he wouldn't hear of it and started shaking her, she asked what are you gonna do hit me but Barry just doubled over in pain and Tess asked him what was it. He was breathless and Tess told him she had to go. She then went over at Shenanigans where she met up with Chris and they went off to talk.
Over at the Salem Inn Larry was having lunch with one of political stalwarts and Alice and Tom arrived. He got up to greet them and after he went back to his table Alice said the sight of that man made her skin run cold. Tom didn't like the idea of Hope living in a house with him but Alice assured him Bo said nothing would happen. Tom said I hope Bo's right this time.
Alex and Anna were at another table talking he asked her how did things go last night. She said she and Tony were just friends now and she asked him how things were going with Madame Du Prix. Alex told her she was loaded he had just gotten back from the Credit Bureau he had lots of friends over there.
He signaled a bell boy and asked him how was Madame X enjoying her stay he said she was driving the Chef crazy asking for caviar and their best bottle of wine things that they didn't have. He told him get her whatever she wanted and tell her it was compliments of Alex Marshall.
Hope met up with Gene and Abe and Abe told him he needed to be on a flight to New Orleans tonight he had to track the prism, he might need to learn how to scuba dive too, Hope was just to stay put and do everything as usual.
When Hope arrived back home one of Maxwell's henchmen was waiting. He started pushing her around and gave her a book and told her she was to do everything in it. From now on everything she did was to come from that book. Hope started to cry and then the credits rolled.

Melissa and Rick were having dinner at The Salem Inn when she saw Pete come in with a woman all over him. She told Rick she'd lost her appetite and then they left. Pete told the woman who was Sam's' (his Boss) sister that he was not feeling well so she told him to go home but next time she wouldn't let him get away that easily.
Maggie and Don talked and she decided to give him back his ring. She told him she didn't know how she felt anymore and she hoped she would always have his friendship. After that Maggie telephoned Mickey and told him they had to talk.
They met up at the park where Melissa and Pete were talking, when they heard them approaching they hid in some bushes behind Maggie and Mickey and Melissa overheard when she told him she had given Don his ring back. She was excited because it meant a chance for her to get them back together.

Megan believed them and said she would be going home. After she left Bo said good lets get to work and then the credits rolled.

Alex Marshall forged his way into Madame X Du Prix's room to ask her if she wanted to invest in his business. Anna who saw this and overheard Alex when Alex ordered a bottle of champagne to be delivered to Madame X's room and so she dressed up as a maid and tried to pitch her dress designs to Madame X. She told her Count Tony DiMera was going to invest in her company but she needed another investor Madame Du Prix told her the designs were very good but she turned her down.
Liz and Carlo were home when Neil came home early. He was in a very good mood and offered to take Noelle and her to lunch he was going to take the rest of the afternoon off that was until he received a phone call from Maxwell Hathaway. He immediately went for a drink and after he came off the phone Liz asked him what was wrong but Neil denied that anything was wrong. Max had told him over the phone to check his mail because he meant business if he didn't comply and hand him over some more medical forms Liz would know about his loan.
He and Liz argued and he stormed out of the house after he left Carlo told her he never heard Neil shout at her before she told him it was the first time. She asked him if he wanted to go out to lunch he didn't want to but she persuaded him.
When they went to the Salem Inn Neil was there having a drink Marie was also there with Marlena and she left and went over to Neil's table. She began asking him if he wasn't on duty at the hospital and why was he drinking. Neil told her he didn't need any nagging from any of his ex or present wives.
Alex who overheard wanted to throw Neil out but he apologized to Marie who said it was okay. When she saw Liz and Carlo standing there watching them she excused herself and Liz sat down to talk to Neil.
She told him she didn't like being lied to he had told he was going to the hospital and now he was there with Marie. He said there was no need for her to be jealous of Marie and he apologized for shouting at her, he attributed his mood to stress.
After that Neil went home and Liz went on to the hospital where she met up with Tom Horton and asked about Neil's schedule if it could be a little less strenuous as he was under a lot of pressure, Tom said sure.
In New Orleans Eugene and Bo tracked the prism back to Oak Alley Plantation, Gene asked if this was where he and Hope had their romantic adventure and Bo told him yes. Gene said he would take a look around the premises but Bo couldn't come as someone could probably recognize him.
Back in the car Bo made a phone call at the hospital on Eugene's bow tie phone and told him a package was to be delivered to Hope at Blondies he also told him to tell her he loved her and he missed her. Just then Eugene came back and told him he saw a strange guy down by the marsh and he thought they should follow him as the signal led that way. Bo said come on lets go and then the credits rolled.
