Episode # 9493
Tape Date: 1-22-03
Director: Herb Stein
John and Marlena arrive on DiMera Island, Hope sees
Larry in a different way, Roman reaches out to Kate, Cassie rubs
Belle's nose in the fact that Shawn confided in her, Tony is
anxious to get out of the hospital.
On DiMera Island
John and Marlena arrive at the compound and begin to snoop around.
She is a bit shaken, but John assures her that she will be okay.
They investigate as John is sure that someone is watching them.
Marlena is once again drawn to the painting of the ocean. She is
a bit afraid of what they may find there. John assures her that
she had no power over what happened to her when she was there,
reminding her that she was drugged and frightened. She asks what
if they find out she gave birth to the twins and then gave them
to Stefano to raise. She continues to keep her eyes on the
seascape, saying that when she was there, the sound of the ocean
was she remembers and how it calmed her. She remembers having
feelings but can't remember what. John asks if she is okay and
she remembers that it wasn't fear, it was an overwhelming grief
that she felt. She asks, was it because she gave up the children?
John holds her and comforts her as she begins to cry and says the
feeling is so strong it is breaking her heart. She refuses to
leave the painting and begins to have the flashbacks of the white
room as she sings "Rock a-bye Baby" then hears a voice
telling her that she did the right thing and will not regret it.
In real time, the tears are flowing freely as she tells John. He
asks her "regret what?"
At The Hospital
Craig and Dr. Ash are in with Tony as he is very anxious to get
out of there, almost demanding to be released that very day. The
doctors leave as Tony complains to Rex that Craig is being too
cautious. Rex agrees with Craig and Tony goes on about how Rex
always gives everyone the benefit of the doubt. He calls him an
independent thinker and promises that they will all make up for
lost time when he gets home. Rex acts a bit cold towards Tony,
telling him not to worry about him, it is Cassie that is
desperate for love and family. Tony says that they can count on
him and the DiMeras. Rex yells at him saying that the Dimeras are
the same ones who locked them up and turned them into freaks.
Tony agrees that what Stefano did was wrong and promises to give
them as normal life as possible. Rex tells him to only worry
about Cassie. Dr. Ash returns as Rex heads for school. Tony wants
out of the hospital NOW and tells Ash to make it happen. Later,
Craig returns and releases him against his better judgement. Tony
gets a call from Rolf, who informs him that John and Marlena are
at the compound. He says that they are right on time and just too
predictable as he chuckles.
In The Lobby
Belle offers Cassie a ride back to school, giving her a chance to
talk to her about Shawn. Back at the dorm, Cassie is chattering
on and on as Belle stops her, wanting to talk. She asks her to
leave Shawn alone while she is gone. Cassie promises to be there
for him, for SHE isn't going anywhere, unlike Belle. Belle says
that Cassie has had a crush on Shawn from the beginning but
Cassie says it isn't a crush anymore. She says they are close for
they have shared SO much and refers to him as her "best
friend". Belle asks if Shawn has told her what is going on
with him right now and she says yes. Belle asks her to leave.
Outside, Cassie says be careful about asking for honesty, you may
learn things you don't like. Later, Rex drops by to visit with
Belle, asking about Cassie. Belle is sure that she is where ever
Shawn is. Seeing that she is upset, Rex goes over and hugs her.
At Basic Black
Kate wakes up in John's office (head on his desk) to find Roman
sitting across from her. She is furious with him for locking her
in there with him. He promises to let her out if she tells him
what she knows about Stefano. She refuses and only wants a
toothbrush and coffee. Roman refuses to leave her alone and is
not giving up. They argue back and forth, with her saying that he
was only using her for information. He admits yes, at first, but
ended up falling for her. She doesn't believe him as they toss
zingers back and forth. I think she got the best one in when she
said that he "would unzip for anything in a dress" (LOL).
He says that Marlena was wrong about her and she accuses him of
trying to make Marlena jealous, which he denies. He says yes, he
talked to Marlena (as a friend) about her. She tells him to leave
her alone and he says if that is what she wants he will. He goes
to unlock the door, telling her he is NOT giving up, she needs to
trust someone. She turns, with tears in her eyes.
At The Cop Shop
Shawn arrives to meet with Bo and steps into his office and sees
his name on the suspect board, rattling him. Bo walks up and
startles him, with Shawn nearly jumping out of his skin. Bo calms
him down, explaining it is routine to list everyone that was
there. Bo begins to question Shawn about the dish towel (but
never mentions the blood on it). He quickly learns that Shawn
doesn't know anything about it and Bo talks about how Hope has
been forgetting things lately. Shawn begs Bo to take himself off
the case, but Bo refuses, vowing to catch the killer. Bo sees how
jumpy and nervous Shawn is and he tries to leave. Bo tries to
talk to him, but Shawn rushes off. Cassie calls him and he tells
her that he MUST confess what he did. She tells him to come and
pick her up at the dorm. After he leaves, we see Bo standing in
the doorway. Did he hear any of the conversation?
At The Brady House
Hope returns from a run (as Larry is watching) and goes inside
and looks at the pills. She decides she needs to eat something
first and heads to the kitchen. Larry rushes in and switches the
bottles. Hope returns and notices that the bottle seems to have
more pills in it than before. She sees the door is cracked and
goes over. She opens it to find Larry standing there. He taunts
her and tells her that she must confess to murder as she covers
her ears. She lurches for him and he runs away. She goes back
inside and ponders taking the pills until she realizes that
unlike before (where he vanished), THIS time Larry RAN away. She
goes outside and looks around, then tosses the bottle of pills in
the garbage can.Shawn and Cassie arrive but he sees that Hope's
car is gone. He talks about her strange behavior lately and how
scared she is. He blames himself and kicks the garbage can, the
pill bottle falling out. Cassie asks what they are and he says
some kind of tranquilizers. She says that sounds like what HE
needs.Meanwhile, Hope rushes into the cop shop, telling Bo what
happened with Larry. She said he seemed so real and hard for her
to believe that he was just in her head this time. She is really
worked up as Bo tries to calm her down. She leaves for the rest
room as Bo begins to think about all she told him. He begins to
wonder if Larry is REALLY dead. He asks himself WHY is Larry
telling her to confess to a murder that happened AFTER Larry was
killed (Good question Bo!!!) He asks "Is Hope seeing the
REAL Larry? Is that bastard still alive?" Fade to black.

Episode # 9494
Tape Date: Various
Director: Roger Inman
Good show today as Bo gets a clue and follows up on it, Marlena
remembers more on the island, Jen takes the pregnancy test and
gets the results.
On DiMera Island
We join John comforting Marlena under the ocean painting on
DiMera Island. She remembers singing Rock a Bye Baby as a male
voice tells her she did the right thing and won't regret it as
she starts crying. She tells John what she remembered and he asks
what she wouldn't regret and who was it? She tells him Stefano.
Remembering singing again, she gasps remembering singing a
lullabye when Stefano told her that. She knows he meant the twins.
She can't prove it, but she feels it in her heart that she's
their mother and abandoned them. Hand in hand he opens the secret
passageway to the hidden room. She has the same sensations she
had the last time she was in that room, but can't remember
anything. He looks at the book titles in the bookshelf and pulls
out one called Madness something or other as another doorway
opens up. He shields her from walking into the room alone as she
looks in and says it's happening, she remembers. The room is full
of surgical equipment (check the dates on that equipment, wonder
if Rolf just planted them there???) John tells her there's no
proof she's the twins mother and even if she is, they stopped
being her children a long time ago. He argues about how dangerous
those kids are now, but she feels they're Stefano's pawns as much
as she and John were. He refuses to let those twins hurt her or
Belle. She questions how he'll feel if she is their mother and
the other half of them is DiMera, knowing they'll never see eye
to eye on it. Holding her, he said nothing will ever divide them,
that's what Stefano wanted.
Back In Salem... (where it's afternoon everywhere but the
Deveraux's, haha)
At The Cop Shop
Bo wonders if Larry's still alive as Hope returns back into his (Abe's)
office, concerned seeing him look upset. He tells her to go home
and relax. He wants an officer to drive her home (saying it's due
to the medication she's on, even though she tells him she stopped
taking them). She finally agrees and he orders round the clock
protection for his family after Hope leaves. It's still morning
at Jen's home (even though the clock says 4:20, haha) as Jennifer
stares at the pregnancy test. Jack joins her and they start to
open the box when Abby comes downstairs as she starts to open it.
She hides it in a drawer so Abby won't see it. Abby sees the
suitcases and is happy Jack's moving back in. He tells her he
promises to never leave his girls again. He sees Abby off to her
bus for school. Jen's in a daze and apologizes for not telling
him that Abby's teacher called yesterday saying Abby had a talent
for writing. She writes poems and reads them for the class. The
teacher raved about one Abby wrote about a Golden Retriever named
Clover. They laugh wondering if they're being set up to buy her a
dog and Jen replied "woof woof", LOL. (hey, we need a
dog in Salem!!) Jack's anxious to hear more about what the
teacher said and Jen tells him that Abby takes after him as he's
the wordsmith in the family. She also gets her wit from him. He
tells her that Abby gets her kindness, strength and courage from
her mom.
Meanwhile, It's Afternoon At The Brady Home As
Shawn picks up the prescription Hope threw in the trash earlier.
(FYI: The Early Edition followed up on this. The pharmacist said
the best way to dispose of unused/expired medicine was to flush
pills down the toilet... even in a metropolitan sewer system. The
quantity would have to be huge for even a minimal effect. NEVER
throw pills away in their container. We realize in this case it
proved useful for the storyline and goes to show how dangerous
this disposal method is). Larry watches from behind the fence
and gets angry, saying those pills were meant for Hope. Cassie
suggests he take one to feel better. Shawn resists. She asks if
he has second thoughts about not telling Belle what's going on,
but he only can wonder why his mother threw the pills away. It
must have been a mistake. Hope walks up (after returning from the
cop shop) and Shawn shows her the pills. Hope tells him she threw
them away and doesn't need them anymore as all she needs is his
dad and her two sons. Cassie and Larry both lurk nearby
eavesdropping. Throwing the pills to Shawn, she tells him to bury
them. Inside the kitchen, Hope grabs a tea bag from her canister
as Larry lurks outside her door (she doesn't see him) saying she
needs more than tea and sympathy. She turns and sees Larry
through the door and drops the cup she just put her tea bag in.
It shatters on the floor. Bo follows up with the officer that
drove Hope home. Angered that the officer left Hope home alone
being Shawn was there, he grabs his coat to head home. Meanwhile,
Shawn vents to Cassie that he's the reason another man is dead as
Bo walks up overhearing. He asks what Shawn meant. Shawn tells
him how he and Belle went out onto the terrace that night and
can't remember if he saw anything. He's been on edge since then.
Bo asks Cassie to give them a minute. She walks away and Bo tells
Shawn something he might not like. He tells Shawn he suspects
Larry Welch is still alive and might try to kidnap Hope again. (I
really think the Brady's need a home security system, don't you?)
Shawn gets angry and heads toward the house. Bo tells him he
doesn't want Hope to know until he has solid proof. He wants
Shawn to act normal and is having someone guard Hope, Zack and
him.Inside Hope remembers seeing Larry morph into Colin in the
snow. She pulls out a book out of her drawer and Larry watches,
saying who needs the pills, Hope's going over the edge without
him. Inside the kitchen, Hope comments out loud that she wants to
write down whatever she can remember as Cassie walks in (without
knocking even) asking if she can remember what? She helps Hope
pick up the broken cup as they talk about Tony maybe being
Cassie's father. Cassie senses it's true. She gives a couple
bottles of water to Cassie for her and Shawn and she leaves.
She's determined to remember what happened the night Colin was
murdered.Cassie returns to Shawn with the bottled water. Cassie
assures him his mother was fine in the kitchen, but he gets upset
saying it's happening all over again. She opens the pills he
flung and insists he take one, so he does.Later Jen takes the
pregnancy test and returns to Jack in the living room, looking
solemn. She tells him she has the results. Jack assures her
either way, they'll be fine. She tells him the results are
NEGATIVE, she's NOT pregnant (THANK GOODNESS!!!!!) Relieved, she
thanks him for his strength and standing by her. The phone rings
as they go to kiss. It's Bo. He needs her help. He tells her
about the towel having chicken blood on it and figures it was
planted. She asks who he thinks would do that and he tells her
he'll explain it later to her..but thinks Larry Welch is still
alive. Jen hangs up and tells Jack everything (YES!) She tells
him they cannot tell or print any of this. He's more worried
about her family and how they must protect them. She hugs him and
tells him she loves him. He tells her he loves her too. Hope
takes her tea and a sandwich into the living room and starts
writing down what's real and what's in her head. Later we return
to Hope and her uneaten sandwich (darn!) as she's asleep on the
couch remembering NY Eve night standing there seeing Larry morph
into a bloody Colin on the snow..but then sees Shawn as well.
Larry returns to his room at the Dew Drop Inn, angry how things
are not going the way he meant them to. He was just about to
drive Hope over the edge when "Alien Barbie" shows up (LOL!)
He's determined to not give up! Outside in his back yard, Bo
finds a match book for the Dew Drop Inn out back and knowing he
found a clue, says GOT YA! Later he walks around the Dew Drop Inn
and gun in hand, calls out "Delivery for Larry Welch"
then kicks open Larry's door.
Preview:
Nicole asks Brandon if you can still be irresistible when you're
dead, he realizes Victor knows that she slept with Colin, Lucas
introduces himself as "Scami's" new boss, Belle is
shocked when she walks into Shawn's dorm room and he punches his
fist through the window panes...

Episode #9495
Taped 1/24/03
Director - Phil Sogard
Salemites gather at the hospital for various reasons, as Lucas
surprises Sami & Shawn continues his downward plunge.
Meanwhile, the Salem P.D. are hot on the trail of Larry Welch,
who goes underground, literally.
Hartley House
Belle is finishing up packing for her trip, with too many
clothes, not enough room. Cassie runs into Shawn downstairs as
she is bringing more luggage. He complains he is even more
nervous, but she insists the pill probably hasn't kicked in yet.
(Didn't he take it yesterday?) They go up to Belle's room, and
Cassie leaves. Shawn gets a call from his dad, flies off the
handle at learning Larry W. is really alive, and hangs up on his
dad. Belle leaves to get laundry, Shawn moves restlessly around
the room, eventually putting his fist thru the window. Belle
comes in, shocked, and insists they go to hospital, as he needs
stitches.
Dew Drop Inn
Bo is outside, gun drawn, and outside one door, says "Delivery
for Larry Welch". ( Huh? Would Larry be using his real name?)
He kicks the door down, but the place is as clean as a whistle.
Larry has skedaddled, as Bo realizes, when he finds the open
window. Roman comes in, wanting to know what is going on. (Now,
WHY has Roman showed up?) Bo tells Roman about his suspicions
that Larry may be alive, tells about the planted bloody towel
which was really chicken blood, about Hope's visions, and how the
last time the Larry ghost turned and ran, instead of just
dissipating. He adds the match book which led him to the motel.
Roman wants to know why Bo did not tell him, as this was police
business, but Bo retaliates "for the same reason you kept
quiet about Sami taking your gun, until you had checked it out".
Roman has no answer for this (neither do we).The room is scrubbed
clean with no fingerprints anywhere. They get the manager in, who
claims the man who rented the room a couple weeks ago had long
blond hair and a mustache. He cannot I.D. Larry's pic, but Bo is
getting an artist to come in and modify the pic. Roman tells Bo
he is going to call Shane and see if he can come up with a Larry/Colin
connection.
Salem Hospital
Craig is drawing blood from Chloe, while Brady stands by. (Hey,
he shaved off the fuzz! Lookin' good!) Chloe is rather down in
the mouth, as Craig tries to reassure her about her upcoming bone
marrow transplant. Craig leaves, and Chloe brings out her "to
do" list, things she wants to do b/4 being confined in
isolation. #1 is saying goodbye to certain people, and another is
to sing her favorite arias from a stage. They kibbitz back and
forth a bit about it.Sami comes in, getting stopped by Lucas, who
informs Scami (lolol - a reference to scheming Sami) he has a lot
of work for her. She objects, but he tells her he is in charge of
entire hospital clerical dept. and that includes her. Brenda
comes along, backing up Mr. Roberts, much to Sami's chagrin. Kate
comes by, looking for a number to reach Marlena, but Sami says
she was only told to contact Marlena's asst. Lucas teases Sami
about "Studly" not being around, and tells Sami he
wants the files of all patients in the past two years who did not
have insurance. She says she is going on break, and Lucas
replies, yeah, he heard she is ALWAYS on break. ROTFL! Brenda
says to follow Mr. Roberts' orders first. Nicole arrives, (I
swear she is wearing that ostrich coat) w/sunglasses. Brandon
stops her, hurries her onto the terrace. He admonishes her about
her drinking (thus the sunglasses) and being hung over. He asks
how things are going, and she says she is Cinderella. He asks if
Victor is Prince Charming. OR, speaking of fairy tales, is he
more like the Beast, with Nik being the Beauty. They argue, &
Nicole finally admits Victor knows of her affair w/Colin, &
that Colin cashed her $5 million dollar check, saying she is glad
he is dead. Brandon asks if she killed Colin, but says Victor
would have had a reason to do so. She tells him to dump loser
Sami. They argue more, with Nicole saying how screwed up they
both are due to their parents, but at least she admits it.
Brandon wants to know if she thinks she is in danger from Victor.
Kate comes out on the terrace, and both Nicole and Brandon go
back inside. Kate calls Roman, telling him she wants to see him
right away, and is coming to the police station. Belle arrives
with Shawn, who is taken into emergency by Craig, who notes his
pulse is racing and asks if he is on any meds. Shawn evades
answering, but Craig says the anesthetic might cause a reaction
if Shawn is taking anything, so our hero gets his stitches w/o
any. He leaves, and runs into Brady & Chloe, who good
naturedly tease him about hurting himself. He blows up at them
both, shocking them.(Shawn is on a rampage with everyone, it
seems). Cassie comes up, and he tells her he is no calmer, he is
more upset than ever. Meanwhile, Belle & Chloe bid adieu, as
Belle is leaving tomorrow. They hug. Belle says good bye to
Shawn, flashing back for a second to their breaking up.Meanwhile,
Sami returns with the boxes of files to give to Lucas. She then
is tempted to go listen to Brandon & Nicole on the terrace,
via the intercom, but changes her mind. She goes out to a
stairwell, where Belle finds her. They both talk of their
boyfriend problems, with Sami once again warning Belle not to go
to Paris, leaving Shawn in the clutches of "Miss E.T."
They moan about guys needing their "space" and Sami
then talks of her mother, and how this guy follows her around
like a puppy dog. (JOHN?? GMAB!) Belle retorts that Sami should
not talk of her father that way, that John & Marlena have a
wonderful, loving relationship and are partners in every way.
Sami sighs, she is sorry, just thinking of her own lonely dad,
who is dating that slut, Kate. Belle blows up, telling Sami to
stop the name calling and not talk about their parents any more.
Cassie arrives, looking for Dr. Griffith, who is to have a
therapy session with her and Rex. Brenda says he has not arrived
yet, so Cassie asks after Shawn, but Brenda has not seen him.
Says if he came in for stitches, is probably in emergency. Kate
comes by, bumps into Cassie and introduces herself. She mentions
Tony maybe being Cassie's dad, and Cassie comes back with wanting
Marlena to be their mother, but she doesn't want to, and she
hates her.Kate tells her how she lost her own two children, being
told they were dead, and how wonderful to have found them again.
Cassie leaves, & Lucas tells Kate he overheard some of that.
Knows how upset she gets when she thinks of her lost time with
Austin & Billie. Kate leaves, sits on a couch for a bit, then
goes out to the terrace. (See above) Sami bumps into Brandon,
wanting to talk, but he says he has to talk to Lexie first. Lucas
stops her next, saying he wants her to deliver all those files to
his apt. tonight! LOL (he sure is giving it to her).
Underground
Larry, meanwhile, has entered into the dank, Salem sewers,
damning Bo and threatening Hope. He gloats that no one knows
about him, but he knows what they are up to. He talks about the
pills, deciding that if Shawn starts taking them, Hope will be
watching her son self-destruct, while accusing herself of
murdering Colin. He smiles.Bo comes into the office to talk to
Roman, saying he is going to have to tell Hope. (about time, Bo)
and hopes she can handle the fact that Larry Welch is coming
after her again.
Preview:
Roman to Kate - You said you're ready to talk. Did you mean
it?Marlena to John - How would you feel, if you were me, and
someone was trying to persuade you that you should be afraid of
your children?Hope, opening door to a cop, and flashing lights -
My God, you're here to arrest me, aren't you? Mimi tells Shawn -
you need to tell her not to go to Paris. Shawn explodes back,
telling her to shut the hell up, you don't know what your're talking
about.

Taped 1/27/03
Director - Herb Stein
Shawn grows more agitated, Larry Welch finds shelter with other
rats, Roman and Kate get closer, Tony's home and in charge while
John and Marlena find more evidence before calling it a night.
Hartley House
Shawn has his hourly flashback of Colin in the snow and pops
another of Hope's pills. Mimi sees him and asks about it, saying
taking pills w/o water make her gag and asks what they are he's
taking. He tells her pain med for his hand. She pulls him into
Belle's room, shocked by the broken window. She urges him to tell
Belle not to leave and recognize how much Belle means to him and
talk to her. Mimi then encourages Shawn to tell her all,
explaining she's now a second semester psych student and has more
training (love that Meems). He tells her about Hope's
hallucinating and how Larry Welch is still alive before
mentioning he's not suppose to tell anyone that. She assures him
Bo will put Larry away, but Shawn just gets more agitated and
wonders why it (the second pill) isn't working. When Mimi asks
what he means, he tells her (and Belle) to butt out and leaves.
Storm Drain
Larry Welch lurks in the storm drains of Salem with the rest of
the rats. Upset Hope didn't get the pills he planted, he knows
her "bad boy" took them and will be a nervous wreck and
drive his mother over the edge for him. Later he eats pasta or
soup out of a disposable container and tosses the rest to the
rats, impersonating Arnold with his "I'll be back"
line, haha. He returns later giving credit to the Salem PD for
being smarter than he thought, but claims Hope won't be safe in
her fortress surrounded by cops. He leaves to return again with
his I LOVE SALEM bag (did he steal Cassies?) and opens his
blueprints for Bo and Hope's destruction.
Cop Shop
Kate and Roman talk in good old Abe's office (where IS Abe?). He
convinces her that although at first his investigation was
business, it's now personal. He promises to never hurt her. He
reflects over how Stefano stole years of his life from being with
his wife and kids and how long it took for him to recover. He
wasn't there to help raise the kids and made mistakes when he did
return by not disciplining them enough, especially Sami.(poor
Eric, out of sight, out of mind). Sami is smart and should have
gone to college. His daughter's selfish and hard headed, but is
very precious to him and he loves her. Kate understands that and
can live with that. Roman's grateful and counting his blessings
for what he does have and offers Kate his help. He doesn't want
secrets to come between them and they'd be stronger if they join
forces. She agrees and he asks what the bastard (Stefano) did to
her. Crying, she still can't tell him and cries on his shoulder
when an officer interrupts as there's a break in the Murphy
investigation. Roman steps to the outer office to find out more.
DiMansion
Tony is home and sitting in the parlor. He struggles to his feet
and Lexie arrives to find him standing. She urges him to take it
slow and asks where the doctor went, but Tony refuses. He tells
her all the doctor did was talk on his phone and drink his wine,
so he fired him. Calling Craig Wesley an idiot for wanting him to
lie on the couch for weeks and grow weak, he takes a couple steps.
Bart rushes in to tell Tony about the Salem PD putting out an APB
for Larry Welch who's still alive. Tony orders Bart to get their
men out and find Welch before the PD does..reminding him what
happened when Colin didn't succeed . Bart jokes about the
motivation Tony uses, LOL and leaves. Tony is determined he'll
pay for what he did to his sister, with his life. Later, after
Tony walks across the room slowly with Lexie watching like a
hawk, Bart returns to tell Tony the traps out for the rat out
there and they'll bring him to the big cheese and they're on his
tail, proud of his out whit. Tony asks Bart if his bags are
packed, surprising Lexie that Tony's going somewhere. All he'll
tell her is she isn't going with him (when she asks to), but when
he returns, he'll be bringing home Cassie and Rex's mother.
DiMera Island
Marlena finds a pink bootie in a drawer while John finds a book
on genetic engineering. Marlena asks him how he would feel if he
were told to be afraid of his children as they talk about the
situation again. He suggests they need a good night's sleep and
hand in hand, they wander from the dreary secret room. We find
them later in another boring room, this time the bedroom, with a
chess set on a table (Stefano's decorators must have ordered them
by the dozens). John notices the queen is missing while sweeping
for bugs with his little gadget. Not mentioning it to Marlena,
she also notices it and remembers Stefano calling her his queen
of the night. She WANTS ANSWERS as does John. She finally climbs
into bed and instantly falls asleep hearing SLEEP MARLENA SLEEP
in her head. John, now bare-chested, climbs into bed surprised,
but happy to find her asleep so quickly as he lies on his back to
think.
Brady Home
We return to Hope's dream about seeing the Colin/Larry morph and
Shawn through the window holding the gun. The phone rings next to
her, but it doesn't wake her up (a sound sleeper our Hope, good
thing Zack is with the grandparents), but a cop pounding on the
door does. She opens the door to the squad cars radio blaring and
lights still flashing, asking if he's there to arrest her. He
tells her he's there to protect her as Bo arrives and asks why
she didn't answer the phone. Hope tells him she had a dream, but
can't remember it as she takes her uneaten sandwich back to the
kitchen (hey, Bo might like it). She asks why the cops are all
around and he explains. Hope's scared, but relieved (wouldn't it
be smarter to have cops hidden so if Larry returned they could
catch him??) Bo tells Hope that he thinks Larry killed Colin.
Shawn walks in behind them and thinks they're talking about him
until Bo explains. Shawn gets agitated and Hope kids he brought
home dirty laundry for her to do. Telling her no, he heads to the
basement for some weights he came home for. Hope starts to go
after him, but Bo tells her he'll handle it and finds Shawn threw
some things around and now punching the bag. His hand is bleeding
again and Bo calms him down promising to find Larry. Right now he
has to focus on that and on Hope without having to worry about
Shawn too. Shawn agrees and slips out the back door to leave,
saying he'll rebandage his hand at the dorm. Bo returns to Hope
and although they're both worried about Shawn, know he's a tough
kid. Hope apologizes for what's happening, but looking her in the
eyes, Bo tells her taking care of her and the boys is his life
and he WILL find Larry Welch!Later, Roman calls to tell Bo about
a lead in the Murphy murder case. Techs found some parts of an
onyx tux stud in the debris. Bo asks Hope if Larry was wearing a
tux when she saw him that night and she thinks so. Hoping it will
be a clue to a rental tux place that Larry rented, he leaves to
go to the cop shop and tells her to ask a cop if she needs
anything.
Preview:
Shawn shakes Belle, telling her to stop loving him, Lexie
tells Brandon that he has no connection to her child, Hope opens
the door to see red roses being held up by someone in a black
leather jacket... thinking it's Bo... but Larry Welch lowers the
roses to show his face, Bo tells Roman that putting Larry Welch
in prison will show he's still alive.

the law to Brandon, Hope continues to be haunted by dreams of
Larry, the sewer rat makes himself at home.
At The Cop Shop
Bo and Roman discuss the case as Roman informs Bo that there are
many on the force that does NOT believe that Larry is alive, that
Bo is only trying to divert attention from the real killer. Bo
vows to find Larry and makes an pronouncement, that he'll throw
him in prison and that will prove he IS alive! (Ya think? LOL).
Abe is in his office as Sami barges in, telling him that Lexie
needs him NOW. She explains that she has learned that Larry may
still be alive and tries to persuade Abe that Larry may come
after her. Abe gets a call from a cop (they are watching Abe's
house too) telling him that Brandon Walker is there and Abe high-tails
it out of there.
Over At The Carver House
Brandon drops by (unannounced) and Lexie doesn't exactly roll out
the Welcome Wagon for him. He tells her that he has decided to
respect her wishes and is going to lay off Abe. She is okay with
that but isn't happy with his just dropping by. She hopes that
they can be friends again and asks him how Sami will feel about
all this. Brandon says she will just have to accept it because he
and Lexie have a "connection". She doesn't like the way
he said that OR the way he looked down at her belly when he did.
She tells him that he has NO connection with her baby. Abe comes
in asking what is going on. Saying that he won't bother them
anymore, Brandon leaves. Abe asks Lexie what he wanted and she
tells him that Brandon told her that he is going to knock off the
"I hate Abe" routine, but Abe doesn't believe him. He
goes on and on about how he has tried with Brandon and he should
get over it and quit blaming him for his dad's behavior and his
mother falling in love with him. Lexie stops him, wanting to
change the subject, so Abe pulls out a Valentine's gift for her.
It's a heart shaped ring with a place in the center for the
baby's birthstone. She feels bad because she has nothing for him,
but he tells her that in a few months, she will give him the
greatest gift of all.
At Brandon's Place
Sami drops by later, asking how it went with Lexie. He tells her
what he told Lexie and Sami is impressed. Brandon asks why she is
there and to stop pushing him. He can't promise that he won't see
Lexie again and Sami asks where does that leave THEM? While they
are talking, Lexie calls, telling Brandon to leave her alone. The
baby is NOT his and for him to stay away, he is not welcome at
her house. Sami isn't thrilled to learn that was Lexie on the
phone and he asks her to leave. But Sami turns on the charm (or
should I say she turns on BRANDON?) They kiss and he forgets all
about Lexie, for the moment.
At The Hartley House
Shawn apologizes to Mimi and she urges him to work it out with
Belle. She says she loves both of them and they hug. Belle and
Rex come in and she asks what is going on. Shawn leaves and then
Belle tells Mimi and Rex that she has packing to do. Outside,
Mimi enlists Rex's help, they have work to do before Belle leaves.
(Too cute how she yanks him away). Later, Mimi and Belle arrive
at Lookout Point as Mimi tells her that she has a gift for her.
Shawn and Rex pull up in the jalopy as Belle realizes what Meems
is up to. Mimi honks her horn as Rex takes off, leaving Belle and
Shawn alone. He offers her a ride back and realizes that Rex
swiped his keys. Belle chatters about the snowman they built last
year as Shawn pops another pill. (Can't say I blame him there,
LOL). Shawn tells her that they can't go back in time as he grabs
her and starts shaking her, telling her to stop loving him. Belle
is rattled and can see that there is something terribly wrong. He
tells her about Larry and she goes to hug him. But he pushes her
away, yelling that Larry has got to die. Belle becomes frightened
of him and runs away. Later, she has walked back to the dorm and
Rex comes by. She tells him that she is furious with him and Mimi
for what they did and about how Shawn scared her. Mimi goes to
see Shawn and he is upset with her as well. He tells her about
Belle running off and she apologizes. She gives him his keys as
he breaks down, telling Mimi that he has lost Belle. Mimi has
trouble understanding what he is blubbering about and he tells
her to stay away from him. She sees his hands trembling as he
tells her to just leave.
At The Brady House
Hope is asleep on the sofa when there is a knock at the door. She
opens it to find someone holding a bouquet of roses and Bo's
voice saying "Happy Valentine's Day Fancy Face". He
lowers them and we see it's Larry. He barges on in, taunting her.
He pulls out a gun and tells her that he is alive and real. He
says that she is his, for life as he kisses her after asking her
to be his valentine (creepy). Bo rushes in, yelling for him to
let her go as Larry turns and shoots him. Yes, it is all a dream,
as Hope awakens to find Bo there with her. She tells him about
the dream and says that Larry was right, he will always be with
her and will never go away, as Bo holds her tight. We see Larry
in the sewers drawing on a map as the other rats squeak. He says
that it's time this sewer rat pays a visit to the happy home. Bo
tries to calm Hope's fears, telling her if she going to beat
this, she must keep the faith and keep fighting, but she is
scared and not sure if she can. Bo has an idea.Later, Roman drops
by (Bo had called him over) and he assures them that he will take
care of things while they are gone. Hope is surprised to learn
that Bo has made arrangements for them to go to Green Mountain
Lodge for a few days. He has even invited Doug and Julie along (to
watch after Zack). After Roman leaves, Hope thanks him for
looking out after her. Outside, Roman talks to one of the cops as
Larry listens from below. After Roman leaves, the sewer rat
crawls out of his (man)hole, saying "Honey, I'm Home".
Bo calls Shawn to tell him they are leaving and Shawn assures him
he will be okay. As Hope takes the phone to talk to him, we see
Larry in the basement listening through the furnace pipes. Bo
hurries her along, telling her that Doug and Julie are waiting.
Downstairs, Larry smiles, saying "While you are gone Mr.
& Mrs. (memories of the old 'Hazel' show, LOL) I'll be doing
a little house keeping. When you come back, your home will be
your own private HELL!" Fade to Black.
Preview:
Jenn opens the door to find Abby (dressed as Cupid) saying "Gotcha!
right in the heart" Shawn is telling Alice that Belle is
leaving. She urges him to hurry, and to tell her how he feels,
Belle: I know that he loved me once, I couldn't have been wrong
about that. As Hope is holding a heart-shaped box, Bo yells at
her "Don't Open That!"
