He invites her up to the cabin in the mountains to spend some time and she thinks about it. Marlena wants to know what Sami means by what she said, but Sami backtracks and tells her to forget it, she was just trying to get her off her back.

Marlena goes over to Alice's for a little chat and then comes back for round two with Sami.

Friday 20th August 1993

(Monday 30th March 1998 in NZ)

The neighbors of the Horton Centre are getting upset about Kevin (the AIDS patient) moving into the centre. A meeting is arranged for this evening but Kristen has to tell Alice that she's leaving town tonight. Kevin arrives and Kristen obviously feels bad about leaving but takes off to the airport. The meeting takes place and none of the neighbors will listen to reason. They are intent on shutting the centre down if Kevin doesn't go. They are arguing over this when Kristen comes back. Bo tells the mob guys that he wants to hire a hit man. They check out the suite but don't go into the bathroom. Billie overhears them talking and after they go back downstairs, she jumps out of the bath only to find that her clothes aren't there. As she's running around she manages to knock something over and there's a loud crash. The men downstairs hear the noise and head up to the bathroom. They see the bath full of water and bubbles but no-one in the room. They are about to go when one of the mob guys realizes that someone is in the bath. Bo reaches in and pulls out a rather wet Billie. Marlena gets home and asks Sami how her day was and Sami avoids her questions about seeing the therapist. However, the therapist calls and fills Marlena in on the fact that Sami missed the appointment. Marlena is furious and tells Sami that maybe Roman can talk her into going. Again Sami begs Marlena not to tell Roman - he'll think she's disgusting and sick and she'll be so ashamed. Marlena tells her she is sick - she has a very serious disease. Sami replies by saying that she's getting better. Marlena tells her that she can fix the eating part of it - but she still has to find out what the underlying reason is. Sami spits back that she already knows what that reason is. Marlena asks her what and Sami lies and tells her it was the boy. Roman comes in and Marlena says that they have to talk - but they are interrupted by a knock at the door. It's friends of theirs - Richie and Barbara. Barbara is heavily pregnant and they have bought Marlena and Roman a teddy bear for the baby. Roman gets a phonecall and tells Richie it's his unlucky night - he's going to have to go on a stakeout. The couple leave, but Roman interrupts Marlena who's telling him they have to have a family conference and says that he feels bad for Richie and he is going to go down and take over from Richie so he can go home and help Barbara put the crib together. Later Jamie comes over after Marlena heads to the Horton's for the meeting and Sami and she hear a news bulletin on the radio saying that a cop has been shot on a stakeout. She rushes over to the Horton's to find that Roman is not there and tells her mother what she heard. Jonah takes them down to the scene where they see a body under a cover - wearing Roman's jacket.....
