Episode #8943
Directed by Randy Robbins
Tape Date: 10/30/00
Belle Returns To Salem High
Chloe finds a troll doll (along with an apology note) in her
locker from Phillip. Belle returns to school and is surrounded by
everyone as she thanks them for everything. She says that now her
brother Brady is in trouble and needs their help and asks them to
pray for him. Jan and Jason (and others) tell her that the rumor
was that Brady tried to kill her and was responsible for her coma.
She straightens them out telling them that he saved her life and
is a hero. She goes on to talk about how Brady may be a bit
strange and misunderstood, but was always good to her. Chloe
tells Belle about the night when Brady got beat up and she took
him to the emergency room, but he stole her bike. As they break
up into smaller groups, Phillip gets jealous that Chloe helped
Brady. Belle thanks Shawn for bringing her Buddy Bear to her at
the hospital. Jan, Jason and Mimi rag on Shawn and Belle. They
inform Mimi that everyone serves a purpose and that hers is to be
the butt of their jokes. As Chloe and Phillip are arguing, some
other kid comes up with a radio and plays Nancy's show, which
really embarrasses Chloe to death (it would me too! wait til you
hear!) Chloe gets so mad, she could chew nails.
The Nancy Show
They are ready to start the radio show but Marlena is no where to
be seen. She comes staggering in (as Nancy badmouths her to Miles
and Craig). She tries to convince them that Marlena is losing it.
The show starts, but Marlena is in another world. As the caller
babbles on, Marlena is thinking to herself that she is the blame
for Brady's condition. The caller asks her if she is even
listening to her. Nancy barges in and takes over as Marlena
leaves. She tells the audience that Dr. Marlena had a "mental
emergency" Nancy is there to "hear, help and raise some
hell". The caller's problem is her neighbors "the
snooty chief of staff and his tacky read headed wife". Nancy
lights into her and really tells her off. Later, she is still
going at it and is totally out of control. She is now answering
the phone "This is Nancy, what is YOUR damned problem?"
After the show, Miles tells her that the switchboards are going
crazy and that the fans want "all Nancy, all the time".
She is thrilled to death and tells him to order some champagne,
she is ready to celebrate.
Sami Faces Moroni
Sami and Angela are together (I think planning the wedding) when
Vincent Moroni and his goons show up looking for Brandon. Vincent
tells Angela about seeing Sami out with Brandon at the Blue Note
and Angela gets upset. Sami tells them that she only wants the
tape so she can get her son back. Vincent questions Angela about
the tape, wanting an explanation. She explains and Vincent gets
upset for Sami lying to him and his daughter. He tells her that
HE is the one who will decide what happens to the tape, and to
HER.
Fay Confesses To Brandon
Brandon shows up at Fay's (with newspaper in hand) mad as a
hornet. She tells him to just leave Abe alone. He tells his mom
that he remembers seeing Fay and Abe kiss when he was younger.
She explains that Abe saved her life and her kids as well.
Brandon demands to know if she loves Abe. She admits that yes she
did and will probably always will. She tries to explain and says
that it is all in the past and that he should just let it go. She
tells him that he should concentrate on his future, find a good
woman and give her some grandchildren. He tells her that she is
out of the loop, he is getting married and tells her about Angela.
John Throws Down On Marlena
Brady wakes up and still can't feel his legs. John tries to
encourage him and tell him that all will be okay. John tells him
that all he can do for him right now is to be there and he is NOT
leaving him. He loves him and will stay by his side and they will
face the situation together. Brady starts remembering and talking
about a football game where he was the hero and gets all upset
again. John tries to cheer him up, but Brady asks him for some
time alone. John goes into the hall and Marlena arrives and looks
in on Brady. John tells her to stay away from his son. He
proceeds to lay a guilt trip on her and asks her what the hell
she wants. She wants to talk but he doesn't want to. He lights
into her full force accusing her for everything wrong in the
world (except the presidential election fiasco ;-) He calls her
the "enemy" and blames her for everything, even for
being jealous of the love he had for Isabella. He even says
something about her running to Roman. She can hardly get the
words out as she cries but tells him that she is sorry and that
she misjudged the situation. He turns his back to her and tries
to ignore her. She tells him that she wouldn't blame him if he
walked away from her forever. She asks him if the marriage is
over. He says that he can't have this conversation right now,
Brady is his priority, and walks away from her. She walks over to
the window and she and Brady stare at each other. Then she
stumbles away, looking as if she is about to break. John talks to
Craig who tells him that the longer Brady goes without feeling
his legs, the more chance it will be permanent. He advises him to
prepare Brady for the worst. John says (to himself) that Brady
must live with the consequences of the shooting and NOW the one
who did this will have to suffer the consequences of his actions
(I assume he means Abe) as well. And the credits roll.

Tape Date: 10/31/00
Surprise**Surprise**Surprise
Checking into customs we see that the cruising gang helicoptered
from the ship to Salem (not sure if they coptered direct to Salem
or flew from NYC, but being they're going through customs, I
assume a direct helicopter flight) Julie using her cellphone and
calls Hope, who has Gran there with her and Johnny. She tells her
they hired a car and will be there soon. Doug grabs the phone and
tells her they have a few "surprises" for them,
souvenirs they plucked out of the deep blue sea for them. Jen,
Abby and Bo are giddy at the upcoming surprise. Julie catches Jen
alone after the call and Jen informs her that she's changed her
mind and not going home. Jen tells Julie she's afraid Jack will
find out where she is if she goes home and refuses to tell Julie
what's going on, other that something happened in Africa. Doug
comments there seem to be lots of secrets around and Bo assures
him there are problems, but is evasive as to what they are. The
car arrives and Jen sees how excited Abby is to go home and
reluctantly agrees to go home.Doug and Julie are greeted with big
hugs by Hope. Julie gets a big warm hug from Gran and Doug calls
in the first surprise. Bo walks in and Hope jumps onto him and
wraps her legs around his hips as they kiss. Doug calls for the
second surprise and no one walks in. Julie says oh no and rushes
out to find them. Jen was only preparing herself to come in and
walks in with Abby to the delight of Gran and Hope. Jen softly
tells Hope she needs her more than ever now. Hope asks Bo if this
is the surprise he mentioned on the phone and he agrees. She
tells him his trip was worthwhile now that he brought Jen and
Abby home. Jen thanks Julie for convincing her to come home where
she belongs. Bo grabs Hope and tells everyone they're taking a
walk. Outside he apologizes for leaving her like he did and she
assures him she's found out things too while he's gone and
understands. He admits his life would be empty with her and his
family which includes both of their sons. She doesn't tell him
what, but knows what a sacrifice he's making and the two kiss.
The Black Penthouse
Belle returns home to the penthouse, now decorated for Christmas
(hmm, who did that?). She reads the newspaper headline about
Abe's shooting Brady and prays Brady will be okay. Noticing a
draft she spots Marlena gazing out on the terrace and asks what
she's doing out there. Marlena finally notices Belle's there and
when she sees that she's cold, offers to make her some cocoa.
Belle tells her no and wants to talk about this horrible thing
that has happened. Marlena says it's not so terrible. Belle tells
Marlena that she is acting like someone from the movie Invasion
of the Body Snatchers. She is scared for both Brady and her mom.
Marlena lightly says that Brady will be up and around in no time
after some physical therapy and that she and Brady have never
been that close. Belle says you don't mean this, but Marlena says
he's not my son, he's John's son. (he's lived with you since a
toddler) Belle says that's why you should love him because he IS
dad's son. Belle asks if she and John are having problems and
Marlena tells her that's not her concern. Belle reminds her
they're in the middle of a family crisis and assures her mom she
loves her and is concerned. Marlena appreciates the warm thoughts
and tells Belle how it might have been Abe's gun that shot Brady,
but she is the one responsible for it. She tells Belle some of
what happened and Belle can't believe her mother could believe
Brady would do that and tries to leave. Marlena stops her and
Belle asks why her mother didn't call Roman and tell him when she
remembered what happened. She asks if Marlena thought Brady such
a bad kid and her a liar. Marlena tells her no, she trusts Belle
and was only trying to protect her. Belle shuns Marlena's touch
and admits being hurt, angry and disappointed. She looks at her
mom like she's looked at Brady all those years for no reason at
all, asking how her mother likes it. Marlena rushes out and Belle
breaks down.
Faye & Her Brood
Brandon mouths off to his mom (hey, looks like he's all ready for
a Star Trek Convention in that shirt, all he needs is a
communicator pinned to his chest). Nicole walks in and Brandon
tells her to do what she came for and leave. Nicole suggests
calling Abe to come break up the fight just like the good old
days. Brandon and Nicole exchange barbs while Fay tries
unsuccessfully to referee. Nicole calls her mother a martyr and
admits how her father didn't beat her (Nicole) as he used her for
other unspeakable things and her mother knew it. Brandon tries to
stop Nicole, but Nicole's on a roll accusing her mother of
knowing what her father was doing to her and not stopping it.
Nicole says she'll never have a normal relationship with any man
and her mother will never have any grandchildren from her because
of it. Fay says she can't take it any more, but Nicole is
relentless. Brandon protects his mother and tells Nicole to lay
off. She calls him a college educated therapist and why not use
his psychology on his bud Sami who he follows after. Brandon
shoves Nicole and grabs a chair, whacking a wicker hutch to the
ground. Nicole tells him he's his father's son and has his
father's temper as well. Brandon finds Fay cowering behind the
couch and tells Nicole to leave. Fay tries to make Brandon
promise to leave Abe alone. He tells her maybe Nicole was right
and storms out of his mother's home.
Cop Shop
Lexie and Isaac join Abe at work to support him when he meets
with the Police Commissioner. The commissioner tells Abe that
accidents of this sort happen in their field and Lexie agrees.
Abe, however, tells them that he's paralzyed two kids already and
he's never touching a gun again, or his badge. Outside in the
outer office, John strides in wanting to know where the man is
who shot his son. John peers through the window and sees Abe's
meeting with the commissioner, but senses someone is behind him
and turns to see Roman. Roman asks what he's there for (duh) and
John suggests taking their business outside. John assures Roman
that he's not going to touch him as he knows Roman would have the
force down on him, but Roman reminds him that he punched him once
and is still there, what does that tell you. John tells him it
tells him Roman's feeling guilty. It might have been Abe's gun
that shot Brady, but it was Roman's finger on the trigger. John
states his case to Roman how he got the force riled up and
started a manhunt for an innocent kid without any proof of his
guilt, resulting with his son being shot in the back. (That's a
fact John..you tell him!!) Roman is speechless and then tells
John it wasn't personal. John disagrees, saying he heard Roman on
the police radio and says it is and knows Roman wants his wife.
He warns Roman that he's going to be in his face, is coming after
him and will crush him. The meeting in the office is over and Abe
tells John they need to talk and John agrees, walking into Abe's
office.Abe apologizes profusely to John and will take whatever
John wants to give him. The two talk and John can tell how
distraught his friend is about what happened. Meanwhile, Lexie
asks Roman what happened and Roman assures her that he'd testify
Abe acted accordingly, he just wished he knew that Belle had
remembered that Brady hadn't hurt her before the incident. After
listening to Abe, John tells Abe he still considers him his
friend and offers his hand to him. Abe gratefully shakes it John
tells him he knows who was at fault and was after his son though.
As they step out of the office, Lexie hugs John and thanks him,
telling him she's praying for Brady. (guess Isaac's napping?)
John glares at Roman and leaves. Lexie reluctantly tells Abe the
truth, that Brady was innocent and saved Belle's life as the
credits roll.

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 6, 2000**
Happiness reigned at the Bo Brady house, but gloom
invades the rest of Salem today.
Episode #8945
Directed by Randy Robbins
Tape Date: 11/2/00
At Abe & Lexie's........
The two of them talk about taking pictures of Isaac and Christmas
decorations. Abe is definitely not in the mood, and notes how
he's known Brady from birth and now he is responsible for
paralyzing him. Lexie leaves with Isaac, and hiding in the bushes
we see a hooded figure, who begins to pound on the door. Abe does
not want to be bothered, but the figure turns out to be Fay, who
worries that something is wrong with him, so she picks up a rock,
breaks the window to gain entrance. Abe jumps up, gets his gun
and opens the door to confront Fay. He gets upset as he almost
"did it again". He talks about how she helped him when
he shot Larry Morris. She explains how worried she was about him,
then proceeds to tell him of Brandon's visit to her and how
afraid she is for Abe, and that Brandon saw them kissing.
At The Hospital.......
John is keeping vigil at Brady's bedside, when Belle comes in.
They hug, and Belle is very upset about Brady's condition, wants
to know if their family can have one more miracle. (Who knows,
Christmas is coming!) They leave the room, and continue talking
in the lounge. She tells him of her conversation with Marlena,
and the problem between John & Marlena. Belle pleads with her
dad not to let those problems divide her parents. They go back
into Brady's room, and Belle climbs up on the bed and lays her
head on Brady's chest.
In Marlena's Office........
She seems unaware someone is knocking on her door, but eventually
Maggie comes in, worried about Marlena. Doc asks Maggie to
describe her, and Maggie pops up with the usual adjectives.
Marlena says that is not everything......she is suspicious and
judgmental, and it is tearing her family apart. Maggie says she
understands, cause the same sort of things happened when she
battled her drinking problem. She tells Marlena that she has to
break the cycle she is in, and asks about Brady. Marlena says
Brady is Belle's brother, and she wishes he didn't exist! Doc
says that when Brady came to live with them when he was small,
everything seemed fine for a few years and then things changed.
And she doesn't know why.
At The Brady House.........
Out in the yard, Hope tells Bo that she knows the sacrifices he
has made. He seems puzzled by this. Inside, Gran questions Doug
& Julie about Jen, but they say they are in the dark too.
Something happened in Africa, and Jen is keeping mum about it.
Jen comes down after putting Abbie to sleep, picks up JT, and
everyone jabbers happily. Bo & Hope come in, and he picks up
JT, taking him upstairs to change his diaper. Lexie comes in with
Isaac and wedding plans get discussed. Hope asks Jen to be a
bridesmaid, then goes upstairs to get a swatch of bridesmaid
dress material. She and Bo fall into bed together, and when they
come downstairs, get some good natured teasing. Bo leaves to go
to the station, and Hope joins him for some more snuggling in the
yard. Doug volunteers to drive Jen home, and that raises
questions. Jen says she does not want to go back to the house (now
this raises interesting questions......supposedly her own mother
still lives there, right? Even tho we never see Laura Horton).
Jen says she is going to the Salem Inn, but Gran won't hear of
that, and says that of course Jen & Abbie will stay with her,
she hates an empty house! Jen agrees.
At Sami's Apartment..........
Sami is explaining to Moroni how she wants her son back, and the
tape will help. Angela promises again to give it to her.(On her
wedding day) Sami is showing Moroni pics of Will, when Brandon
arrives. He gets ticked at seeing Moroni and wants him to leave,
but Sami explains how she and Brandon were seen at the Blue Note
by Moroni and he was concerned for his daughter. Brandon squirms
out of that hot seat with Angela, who has words with her father.
Moroni storms out, and Angela follows him. Sami can see Brandon
is upset about something, and he talks a bit about Abe. She tells
him she is there for him, and to trust her. Credits roll.

The Teen Scene
At school, Jason harasses Phil while Belle and Chloe wrap gifts
with other kids for a shelter in a classroom. Belle confides in
Chloe about being concerned about her family, especially her
parents. Philip arrives and offers to help, but learns the gifts
are almost wrapped, so offers to walk Chloe home when they're
done. She happily agrees. He also asks Belle if it's okay to
visit her brother and she tells him Brady would love it (yeah, he
IS Brady's Uncle being Victor's son and Brady's Victor's grandson).
After Philip steps away for a while, Chloe and Belle talk about
Chloe's transformation and how she and Brady are alike in many
ways. Belle wished Brady could find someone to love someone else
besides the two of them so that someone else could see his good
side.Jan talks Mimi (who never learns) into paying back Chloe for
taking Belle away from her. Mimi tells Jan that Chloe's locker
combination is 303. Jan shows Mimi something disgusting in a
paper sack that they'll put in Chloe's locker.Chloe opens her
locker and screams as she finds a huge dead rat hanging upside
down with a note saying that ghoul girl killed it. Even Jason is
taken back by this as he sees Jan laughing about it. Philip
rushes over and after seeing the rat, closes the door to Chloe's
locker and comforts her.
Father/Son Reunion
Shawn arrives home and Hope surprises him with Bo's return. After
exchanging hugs, Shawn asks if Bo caught the bad guys. Bo tells
him no, but he'll work on the case from home. Shawn asks why he
left mom to deal with everything there if he could have done that.
Bo admits he was trying to do the right thing for his family by
going when he did, but realized where his place was and is home
now. He picks up JT and thanks Shawn for being there and for
being such a good big brother. He suggests to Hope that they get
married and get the baby's baptized. Shawn tells them it's a done
deal and Hope explains why he was baptized sooner. Bo again
promises to commit to be a better dad and more committed now.
Shawn shows the gold cross John gave JT (and Isaac) for their
baptisms and tells him how John stood up for Bo in his absence at
the baptism too. After Shawn leaves for something to eat in the
kitchen, Bo asks Hope if Stefano was at the baptism too. She
tells him no and due to the circumstances, who was there. Bo
promises to take Stefano down for what he did to their family.
Shawn returns and Bo asks Hope what date they should have for
their Christmas wedding, the day before, day after.. Shawn speaks
up asking not for a New Years Eve wedding as having a gun pulled
on him at one NY Eve wedding was enough for him. Oops. Bo's using
the cut sign and Shawn realizes, too late, he shouldn't have
mentioned it. Hope asks who pulled a gun on him and he levels
with her, saying Princess Gina did (while pretending she was Hope)
when she married Bo.
Dr. Rolf, DDS
Hattie arrives at Rolf's office and is concerned about her teeth
not going with the new nose. She compares her teeth to Mr. Ed's (old
sitcom where Mr. Ed is a horse for those too young to know that).
(That Dr. Steiner is so versatile, I swear! Hattie hadn't even
mentioned her mouth before, but a full fledged dental chair is in
his office now and he prepares to fix her teeth now.) She panics
when he tells her she'll have a million dollar smile as she only
had the $40K. When we next see her, he assures her it's only a
figure of speech and they had already agreed on the $40 for her
make over. She holds up a mirror and has perfect top teeth and
declares him a genius (wow, I agree to do THAT extensive work so
quickly!! haha) He sends her home with some pain pills if she
needs them and a wobbly, but happy, Hattie leaves. Rolf returns
home and shows Stefano a picture of Hattie, saying he'll work on
her lower teeth next week.. Stefano gives him an atta boy and
confirms with Rolf that no one will be looking for Marlo. Stefano
again talks about getting rid of Alexandra's noose around her
neck (Abe) and the day she and Isaac become true DiMera's.
Lexie Turns To Stefano For Help
Lexie and Isaac visit grandpa Stefano. She's concerned about Abe
and asks for his help. He's sorry to have heard about Brady's
shooting and she tells him how John forgave Abe for shooting his
ONLY son (while Stefano holds Isaac). She's more concerned about
financial problems if legal issues arise from the shooting and
Stefano offers to help if needed. (cute watching them deal with a
little cranky baby while talking). She asks if he can help
without Abe knowing. They talk about how happy Isaac's made her
and her concern about someone finding out about Marlo's demise.
She asks if anyone will come looking for Marlo and he angrily
says who will come looking for a "drunken slut". Lexie
can't believe her ears and asks him to repeat that. He tells her
that Marlo swore she hadn't drank while pregnant after Lexie
remembers Abe seeing her drinking. She tells him about "JT".
He tries to convince her that no one is going to be looking for
Marlo and he'll support Lexie in any way possible.
Abe & Faye
Abe and Faye continue their talk about Brandon. She tells him how
Brandon saw them together the day he came home sick from school
and why he hates Abe so much. He thinks Abe sent his father to
prison so he could be with his mother. She suggests he talk to
Brandon about it. He tells her someone has to knock that chip off
Brandon's shoulder, but it's not him as he's got too much to deal
with right now. She understands how the shooting is upsetting
him, but tells him he also has to take some responsibility for
the mistake they made years ago. She doesn't know how much
Brandon knows, but Abe's the only one who can talk to him. He
promises not to desert Fay, but has to handle this other matter
first. He walks Fay to the door before Lexie returns. Fay thanks
him for being there for her and leaves. Lexie and Isaac are
walking up to the house and see Fay walking away as the credits
roll.

Tape Date: 11/7/00
Rat, Rat, Who Has The Rat?
At school, Phillip goes after Jan and Mimi after finding the rat
in Chloe's locker. She stops him and tells him that she will be
fine and that she knows what she has to do. As she goes to the
bathroom to compose herself, she gives Mimi and Jan the evil eye.
The two girls pat themselves on the back for such a good one. Jan
tells Mimi that this is only the beginning, she will think of
something even better next time. Chloe returns and assures
Phillip that she is okay. He offers to walk her home, but she
tells him that she has to go to the library. He goes on ahead to
visit with his mom. After he leaves, Chloe says it's SHOWTIME.
Jan and Mimi see her staring at them and Jan calls her a freak
and they take off. Chloe gets the rat out of the trash can and
puts it in a paper bag and follows them. She catches up with them
and confronts them later on the street.
Kate & Nicole Face Off
At Titan, Nicole struts in wearing a see-through blouse with a
black bra (sure, that's appropriate office wear, NOT! And Kate
lets her know it, and SHE should know). Anyway, Kate scurries in
to her office telling Marie (I guess she back from vacation) she
has lots of work. Nicole goes to Victor's office, tells Marie no
interruptions and locks the door. In her office, Kate looks at a
magazine article about Nicole, wads it up and calls her a "mutant
fungus" and throws it in the trash. She starts looking for
the codicil and can't find it and begins to panic, thinking that
maybe Victor found it. As she continues to look, Phillip shows up
and wants to talk about Chloe, telling his mom that he is in love.
She all but ignores him until she finds the document. He starts
questioning her about Victor and she informs him that they are
closer than ever. Phillip wants to go and talk to his dad, but
when Kate calls Marie, she tells her that he is in a meeting with
Nicole and cannot be disturbed. Kate bee lines it across the hall
to find the door locked. She apologizes to Phillip, who leaves.
Meanwhile, back in Victor's office, Nicole sits on his desk (with
her legs in his face) and flirts her @$$ off. She talks business,
but he tells her he doesn't hear a word she is saying and for her
to move. She gets up and sits on his lap and comes on to him,
telling she knows what he needs. He asks her to sit in the chair,
telling her this is a place of business and that he has a family
to think about. He talks about Kate and Nicole remembers snooping
in her office. She asks Victor if he has a family to think about,
does that make HER a complication in his life. He says yes and
thanks her for it. She sits on his lap again and asks him what he
plans on doing about the situation. He tells her nothing, he
tells her for once, he doesn't want to have to "handle"
anything. She tells him to hand this as she lifts her skirt.
After Phillip leaves, Kate stomps to Victor's door and starts
banging. Nicole opens it and Kate demands to know what is going
on in there. As Nicole leaves, Victor tells her that this is a
place of business and that door pounding and hysterics have no
place there and excuses her. In the hallway, Kate tells Nicole
that she is NOT getting away with this. To which Nicole replies,
"I already have".
And The Truth Shall Set You Free
Hope is shocked and upset upon learning that Gina shot at Shawn.
He assures her that he was okay and it is all forgotten. After he
leaves, Bo and Hope talk, and she is upset about him not telling
her. In fact, she wants to know everything. He tells her about
that night and how Shawn suspected something was wrong all along
and he became a target. (At least, we don't have to see
flashbacks of Gina). He apologizes for keeping it from her and
she says that it's time to end all secrets between them. He
starts talking about their upcoming wedding and promises to be a
good father to JT. Again Hope says that she wants no secrets,
even though Bo says sometimes there are good reasons not to be
honest. But, she says that doesn't make it right. She has
flashbacks of John telling her about the baby. Then she tells Bo
that they need to talk openly and honestly about everything. To
start with, she knows that he isn't JT's father.
The Almost-Kiss
Belle is at school, feeling sorry for herself, looking at the
picture of their family. Shawn shows up to check on her. She says
that she needs a friend right now and isn't sure just who her
friends are. He tells her that he is sorry for turning on Brady
and she wonders why as she defends her brother. She gives him and
update on Brady's condition and gets emotional as Shawn hugs her.
She tells him that he is her only friend. She tells him about
trying to talk with Chloe, but she was so distant. She thinks
that maybe everyone is right and that Chloe can't be friends with
anyone. Shawn defends her, saying that she had a rough childhood
and that she is just misunderstood and a bit strange. They both
agree, sort of like Brady. Belle thanks him for his help and as
they are going out the door, he starts spraying silly string on
her head, telling her that she hasn't had a new hair-do lately.
They start laughing and she falls into his lap. They both realize
the seriousness of the moment and she gets up. He apologizes as
he picks the string out of her hair. He gets all flustered in the
awkward moment and stammers around telling her he has to go.
After he is gone, she smiles and says "thanks, Shawn".
Payback is Hell!
After Phillip leaves Titan, he is trying to call Chloe on his
cell phone, but gets no answer. He stops and looks in a window at
Salem Place and sees an angel figurine. He says that it is just
like his Chloe. Meanwhile, his angel is getting her revenge,
telling Mimi and Jan that they are going to get theirs. They play
dumb, but she pulls the rat out of the bag and throws it at their
feet. Screaming, Mimi (oh, wow, an ACTUAL "screaming mimi",
I always wondered where that term came from. LOL!!!) runs off
into the night. Chloe throws Jan down in the snow and straddles
her as she rubs the rat all over her face, asking her if it's
funny now. Mimi watches from the bushes as Jan screams
hysterically. Chloe tells her to inform Mimi that she is next as
she stomps off, leaving Jan whimpering in the snow as the credits
roll.
