The new title sequence arrives!
John wakes Kristen but she doesn't want to talk about the dream. It's hot so they both go for a swim in the lake. John notices that Kristen's bracelet has the initials K.D. but Kristen tells him it was her mothers. They talk about her work with children but the fact that she doesn't want to have any, and John tells her about Isabella and the nightmares he used to have after she died. But after John walks away she says that she can never open up to him like that again. Then later on she slips (I think it's) the bracelet into her bag while John is sleeping.
Mickey tells Carly about the gossip but she brushes it off. She heads down to the Pub where Caroline has a funny turn and Carly makes her promise to come to the hospital for a checkup tomorrow. She goes back to the hospital where Jenn and Jack are still frantic about Abby. Austin brings Jenn a music box (what a sweetie!) and when she and Jack go in to see Abby she takes it in. She talks to Abby and then Jack does. Jack tells the child that there are going to be some rules now - like she must get well, and she can't be sick, and she mustn't have a fever. It's then that Jenn leans over and discovers Abby's fever has broken. ;0> (Missy was great in today's show). Carly comes in and confirms it and then heads down to the pub again to collect Bo. They are going down to the boat to pack up their stuff and move into Kim's....

Everyone got together at the Hortons to get the community centre finished. Lucas brought by a model called Brandee (with two e's, what a moroon! ;0>) She spent all night trying to chat up Austin while Lucas sucked up to Carrie in the back yard. All very pukerama.
Bo and Carly moved into Kim's house and spent the whole episode boinking their brains out while Bo did a passable Cary Grant imitation.
That was about it really.

Billie talks Victor into thinking about running some ads for Countess Wilhelmina in Bella magazine. Then she decides she needs a model - a Countess Wilhelmina Man. And of course Bo would be perfect. So she heads down to the boat where Bo is packing up. She asks him to be the model, but he disagrees. She tells him then fine. And tells him he is irritating and then she falls off the boat ;0> Bo laughs until she yells that she can't swim and then he jumps in to save her. Afterwards she quips that she could sue him and they make a deal for him to be her model. She takes heaps of photos of him, even though she'd not looking through the camera most of the time. Afterward, Caroline comes down with some food for Bo and faints into his arms.
Jenn and Jack get to take Abby home though Carly warns them there could be something serious going on. Mickey and Tom approach Carly about the cremation of Mr. Levit, his wife is unhappy about it now and due to the no autopsy thing it looks bad for Carly. They ask her not to have anything to do with relatives of other patients of hers that die.
John and Kristen prepare to catch the ferry but Kristen realizes John has left his watch behind. She sees the inscription and wonders.
Marlena and Kim fly back from Europe, both worried about what John is going to do. Marlena tells Kim that she doesn't know if she can keep lying to him. When they get to the hospital, Kim gets a message to say that Jeannie has just broken out with the measles. Marlena is shocked but quickly says that it is the second trimester of her pregnancy and she should be fine - but she'll call Dr. Morgan. Sami comes up and tells her that John was trying to get hold of her but Marlena hides her worry well. Later, Sami and Jamie overhear her in the staff lounge on the phone. She is thanking someone for flowers she has received and says she missed him and can't wait to see him. Sami is relieved when she says "Roman, you don't have to make me dinner. Jamie goes and Sami heads into the room to see Marlena. She asks if Marlena has spoken to John yet and Marlena tells her that Tom said he was out of town. Just then John pops his head round the door and says he'd like to have a word to Marlena.
However, Sami walks to where John can see her and asks what he wants to talk to her Mom about. Fade out on Marlena's stunned face....

(Tuesday 3rd February 1998)
Caroline comes right when Bo takes her back to the pub and she and Billie throw a house-warming party for Bo and Carly but it's hard for Billie to see Bo and Carly so happy (yeah - it's hard for us too, but not for the same reason...)
Vivian sneaks in and plants the bottle of cleaning fluid in the house during the party. She's dressed in a nurses uniform and has 'borrowed' a doctors car but she gets stopped on the way back to the hospital. However it's a policeman wanting her to attend the scene of an accident. About the same time, Carly gets a call saying there's been an accident and the man had her business card in his suit pocket. (Nikki had given Carly's business card to Lawrence earlier because he's staying at Carly's for a while). Vivian gets there and realizes it's Lawrence.
Lucas schemes with Brandee to get Austin up to lookout point (where all the kids park). Sami sees Brandee gorging herself at the housewarming party (after she told Sami she eats nothing to stay so thin) and Sami discovers her vomiting in the toilet later on. Meanwhile Lucas turns up at Carrie's apartment and asks her out on a date. She refuses but he ends up coming in. Later he goes out for a pizza and comes back with a tandem bicycle. He suggests that they go somewhere where there is a great view of Salem and Carrie says that would be lookout point.
John tells Sami that he wants to talk to Marlena about an article for Bella. Sami says that he is surprised that he didn't mention that the other day when he was looking for Marlena. She says he seemed much more interested in when the baby was due. Marlena says that's because he's the baby's godfather. They are interrupted by Roman, come to surprise Marlena and take her home. He goes off to check on something and Sami gets called out by Tom to call Alice about schedules. Marlena goes to follow Roman out but John grabs her arm and tells her they need to talk. He needs to know the truth. She says she can't and won't talk to him now and he leaves. Sami and Jamie are surprised to see him Go. Marlena and Roman head off to the party and eventually John turns up at the pub to collect Brady's playpen. Shawn is shutting up and tells him about the party and invites him. At the party, Marlena goes outside to get some air and John finds her there. He says that she has to stop lying to him, he has to know the truth. This baby wasn't conceived in January was it. She turns away from him and he asks again, was it. Eventually she shakes her head and he asks her when. She whispers that it was February. Then, John says, this baby could be mine. After a long moment, a tear slips down Marlena's cheek and she silently nods her head.

(Wednesday 4th February 1998)
Carrie and Lucas head up to Lookout Point but they catch Austin there kissing Brandee in his car. Carrie wants to go but they don't get far before a chain comes off the bike. It's getting close to raining, Austin can't get the top up and Brandee is afraid of getting her hair wet so they head home. But they run across Carrie and Lucas. Austin wants to take them home but Carrie doesn't want to get in the car with them - so Lucas borrows Austin's tool kit, fixes the bike and they ride home.
Lawrence sees a fuzzy Vivian but when Carly gets to the scene, Viv takes off. Lawrence asks where Vivian went and Carly tells him he has a nasty bump on the head. They take him to the hospital - but he's okay and Carly discharges him. He tells her he wants to make her executor of his will in the event of his death. Vivian gets back in time to get into bed as Ivan stalls Lawrence. Eventually Lawrence gets in there and tells Viv about the will. Once he leaves Vivian tells Ivan that someone else is going to have to die and this time they can't be terminal. This time they have to be special.
John says so he was right. If she conceived in February, the baby could be his. She nods and says that it could, but she told him already that her life is with Roman, no matter how she feels about John. She tells him if Roman finds out about this, he'll be destroyed and so will her family. John says he isn't out to hurt anybody and Marlena begs him to leave this alone. She tells him they made a mistake, making love was a mistake and now they have to forget about it. John exclaims that if this is his child it will be kind of *impossible* to forget about won't it? Meanwhile inside Roman asks Kim where Marlena is and Kim offers to go outside to find her. Marlena thinks that maybe John's right. Maybe it's unrealistic to think that they could ever forget what happened between them. John reaches out and brushes her shoulder and hair. She jumps and he says 'maybe Doc?" With tears in her eyes, she turns and tells him that alright, she can never forget what happened between them, but they can't dwell on it. John's not talking about dwelling, he's talking about a baby that maybe they created together. She jumps in and says that maybe she and Roman made it together. John says he's just trying to do what's right but he doesn't know why it feels so wrong. He says maybe she's right, after all, they only made love once in the time frame they're talking about, so Roman stands a better chance of being the father than he does...unless she and Roman.... She blurts out that she and Roman have a perfectly norm.... She's in tears and she cries that she doesn't want to have these conversations with John as she walks away from him. He asks her if there's a test she can have right now to determine whether he is the father or not. Marlena pauses for a moment, wipes her face and walks back to him. She says that there is a test that gives the baby's blood profile. He tells her to take the test and settle it once and for all. Marlena says that actually Dr. Morgan wanted her to take the test anyway because she was exposed to rubella. John says she *what*. She explains that Jeannie had the measles. John says then that's even more reason to take the test - the baby could be affected. Marlena smiles and says not necessarily - *she* didn't come down with symptoms so it's unlikely the baby will have been affected at all.. John wants to know what that means...she's *not* going to take the test. She begins to tear up again and says she doesn't know how he can keep *asking* her to take it. He says what does she mean, he has every right in the world to ask her to take it, this could be his child here. This could be their child. Kim comes to interrupt them to say that Roman is looking for Marlena and to say goodbye to them. Marlena walks her inside after telling her about the conversation with John. Kim says goodbye to everyone (she's heading to L.A. to be with Phillip who'd directing a feature.) She eventually goes but just after she does, Caroline collapses. She's having bad chest/stomach pains and they rush her to the hospital. Once there Carly takes her off for some tests and John follows Marlena into the lounge. He tells her that she can avoid him all she wants but they have to come to a decision. She says she made her decision when she decided to lie about when the baby was conceived. He says that because she lied, that decision is not acceptable to him. He needs to know if the baby is his. She says that Roman is coming to pick her up soon so she simply can't talk about this now. John asks when. Marlena says she doesn't know when. He says that she won't be able to sleep till this is resolved so he decides that she can meet him some time tonight. She says no, but he says yes, he *chooses* to meet with her some time tonight....
