Episode # 9498
Tape Date: 1/13/03
Director: Phil Sogard
Today's show is a celebration of love for 2 of
Salem's favorite couples - Jack & Jennifer and Bo & Hope,
a treat for fans of both couples, Shawn rushes to stop Belle from
leaving town. A beautiful show, but we must pay the price, there
is a disturbing, shocking twist that comes at the end as one of
Salem's most beloved residents ends up in grave danger!!
Ho, Ho, Ho
Over at Jennifer's house, someone is sitting on the doorbell as
it is ringing constantly. Jennifer opens it to find Abby (dressed
as Cupid) dangling in the doorway. She yells "GOTCHA, right
in the heart!" Laughing, Jen asks who she is and she informs
her that she is cupid. Jen asks where is Zeus as Jack pokes his
head around the corner. Abby begins to chant "Mommy's in
love, mommy's in love". She says "Yes I am, baby"
as she smiles at Jack. There is no school today so Abby is
spending the day with Vern and Jo and as we hear their horn
blowing (geez, do they NEVER come in and visit?) Abby rushes out
the door. Jack and Jen kiss and he makes her close her eyes and
leads her to the kitchen, where it is all decorated in hearts,
balloons, lights and candles. (He says that he and Abby were up
before dawn). Later, we see Jack dressed in a red (with white
hearts) apron and chef's hat serving Jennifer a breakfast of
heart-shaped pancakes and strawberries (no dialogue as they enjoy
themselves). Later, he offers her a gift. She feels bad because
she doesn't have one for him but he says SHE is all he needs. She
opens it to find a heart-shaped watch/bracelet, with him telling
her to take all the time she needs, but to know that he won't
take "no" for an answer. They both want to forget all
that happened and move toward the future. She puts on the watch
and they talk about all the great times they have shared,
especially one (as we see flashbacks of Jack proposing to her as
he is dressed as Santa Claus). They smile about the memory and
she tells him that he will never get the chance to propose to her
again as she rushes upstairs. She returns yelling ho, ho, ho (dressed
as Santa). She sits on a shocked Jack's lap and tells him that he
will get what he wants as she pulls off the hat and beard. She
tells him that she has only loved one man her whole life and she
still does. She gets down on one knee and asks him to marry her.
An ecstatic Jack joins her on the floor and accepts her proposal
as they hug. She tells him that she wants their new life to begin
right now, NO MORE guest room and asks him to make love to her.
He picks her up and carries her upstairs.
Over At The Hartley House
Belle is looking at her picture of her and Shawn as she finishes
packing. Rex drops by with a gift (it arrived from Shawn). She is
sure he arranged for it before they broke up. She opens it (at
Rex's urging) to find a carving of a snowman (as she has
flashbacks of them building one). She says he loved her once and
thinks she couldn't be wrong about that. Rex asks if she is sure
she really wants to go to Paris. The driver shows up for her and
she gathers her things to head to the airport.
At The Brady House
Cassie has made tea for her and Shawn (she just makes herself at
home, doesn't she?) Shawn is terribly agitated and rags on Larry
and says he won't feel safe until he is dead and out of their
lives. Cassie reminds him it is Valentines Day and suggests a
'private party' (geesh!) But Mimi shows up, spoiling her plans,
with a gift for Shawn from Belle. LOL as she calls Cassie "space
girl" and says she knows what she is up to. (You GO Meems!)
Mimi forces Shawn to open the gift (much to Cassie's dismay)
which is a book that had Belle made, by copying pages from her
diary. Shawn begins to read pages to himself, starting with her
recollection of them building the snowman. Cassie jumps up to
stop him, but Mimi holds her back. She tells her that it is time
for them to hit the road and practically drags Cassie out the
door. Cassie tells Shawn she will call him later, but he totally
ignores her. Later, he is still reading (totally engrossed) when
he is interrupted by a voice. It's Alice, who has come by with a
bouquet of flowers for Bo and Hope. He tells her of the gift and
she urges him to go and stop Belle from leaving Salem, and to
hurry. With a kiss on her cheek, he rushes out the door to the
airport. After he is gone, Alice talks to Tom, wishing him a
Happy Valentines Day.Later in the show, Shawn rushes into the
airport, but he is too late, as he is told the plane has already
boarded. Dejected, he leaves. On the plane, Belle sits alone and
says "Goodbye Shawn".
At Green Mountain Lodge
Bo and Hope wake up together and he goes to draw them a bath.
While he is gone, there is a knock at the door. Hope (thinking it
is Doug or Julie) rushes over, but it is a delivery, roses and a
heart shaped box. Bo comes in, yelling at her not to open it. At
first it, she thinks it is from Larry, but Bo assures her it is
from him, he just wanted to be with her when she opened it. The
box is filled with memories of their life together. He pulls out
a miniature motorcycle as we see flashbacks of a VERY young Bo
and Hope talking about his bike. She pulls out a small carrousel
as they talk about the carnival and the kissing booth (more
flashbacks). Bo says that kiss sealed his fate. Hope tells him
that she always knew he was the one. They then take out a
miniature music box, the smallest one he has ever given her, Bo
says, and they kiss. Later, they are lying in bed talking about
what it would have been like had they not met when they did. They
are both sure that it was their destiny and would have met later
on. There is then a fantasy sequence of Bo in a bar (the Blule
Note) in present day. He is talking with a friend and goes to
leave, passing Hope (on her way in). He comes back in,
complaining that someone hit his bike. He finds out it was Hope
as his friend tells him to ask her to dance. He introduces
himself as the music starts and she apologizes. The song (That's
All) starts as he asks her to dance (as payment), calling her
"princess". They head to the dance floor as she tells
him her name is Hope. He tells her that you can't lose what you
never had and chuckles. They dance and when the song finishes,
she kisses him. In real time, both are sure that had they not met
when and where they did, they would have eventually ended up
together. Later, (in the glow of the candle light) they get out
of bed (draped in their sheets) and dance as the song (That's All)
plays again. (Heads up ladies, Bo's sheet ALMOST slides down too
far ;-).As the music plays, we see Alice back at the Brady house
sitting in the easy chair, holding a picture of her and Tom. The
camera pans to the furnace grate and then to the basement as we
see Larry rigging up the furnace pipes. He says when the Brady's
get home, they will have one humdinger of a present waiting on
them. He talks about the Matriarch Alice Horton being there all
alone. He says a little carbon monoxide is all she needs for a
one way ticket to Tom-Tom Land as he chuckles. He then says
"Adios Granny, Salem just won't be the same without you".
Upstairs, we see that Alice is now asleep in the chair as we jump
back to Bo and Hope dancing as the song ends, and it fades to
black.
Preview:
Brady wishes Chloe a Happy Valentine's Day, Sami tells Brandon
she has a gift for him, and it's something you can't get in a
store (as she hands him a plastic bag), John is watching Marlena
sleep as he kisses her and says "Doc".

Tape Date: Various
Director: Herb Stein
More valentines day celebrations at Green Mountain
Lodge, Tuscany and DiMera Island. Great to see Doug and Julie
again..a wonderful happily married couple both on and off screen.
Green Mountain Lodge
Doug and Julie are still babysitting Zack, but unfortunately the
little guy has a cold. In his tux, Doug orders candy, roses, the
works for Julie from room service while she puts Zack to bed. She
returns in a beautiful blue dress announcing Zack's asleep and
thankful they got the bridal suite, as they prepare for their own
valentines day celebration. Julie loves Doug's romantic soul and
tells him how jealous her friends are. She tells him how her
friend Roberta got trivets for her valentines day present as her
husband didn't "get it" like Doug does. They happily
recall other valentines day celebrations around the world they've
celebrated. His favorite memory was back in Salem in her
apartment when he kissed her for the first time. She tells him
that wasn't valentines day, but he tells her everyday is
valentines day with her..awwww. Zack (?) starts crying from the
bedroom (more like a baby then a 2 year old crying) Julie rubbed
his little back til he went back to sleep again, saying he
dropped his favorite stuffed animal and that woke him up. Doug
remembers how devastated Hope was when she lost her Winnie the
Pooh at that age. Julie listens, trying not to laugh. He wants to
know why and she tells him how Hope's Pooh had a Hoover accident,
LOL, it's little head got sucked in and burned up the vacuum
cleaner as she demonstrates by a slash across the throat saying
it got decapitated. Gram and Julie decided not to tell Doug as
he's a blabber and would have told on them. They toast each
other, Winnie and Hoover. Knock knock on the door, as Doug goes
to answer. It's room service with dinner for two AND chocolates.
She gets morose after he tells her it's for the most beautiful
girl in the world.
Brady and Chloe return to their room at the lodge after skiing.
He spent the day with her on the bunny slopes being she doesn't
know how to ski. Room service delivers their tofu dinner and
Chloe loves all the flowers he ordered for the room. He's happy
they reached their destination on this trip, ha. She's thankful
he turned her into more of an adventurer skiing, despite all the
times she fell in the snow. She compares being sick to skiing, a
fast trip where she feels out of control. She realizes that
finding her family and him are the most important things in her
life. She lets him know that should anything go wrong with her
transplant, this will be the last time they'll be together. She
feels like the luckiest girl in the world to have found love and
her family. Later Brady raves about the tofu to the room service
guy getting the dirty dishes. Chloe gives Brady a cd with a song
she sang for him to play while she's in isolation. They drop
their robes. We return to them in their afterglow. They quote a
poem about holding eternity in the palm of your hand and infinity
in an hour before going for round 2, DING.
Tuscany
Sami and Brandon arrive at Tuscany for dinner, apparently without
reservations. Surprised at how packed it is, Maggie personally
greets them and not only will try to find a table for them, but
gives them a drink on the house to boot. Maggie looks gorgeous in
a burgundy strapless gown. Sami offers a homemade sandwich at
Brandon's if they can't get in. Maggie returns, quietly telling
them she snagged a table for them. She and Mickey talk about the
odds of Sami and Brandon staying together and she reminds him how
people probably thought the same thing about them 25 years ago.
After seating Sami and Brandon, Mickey rushes in with a large
bouquet of red roses for Maggie. Sami watches enviously as Mickey
tells his bride of 25 years how much he loves her and arranged
for her to have the night off. He escorts her to a reserved table
and she finds it's reserved for them. Sami is unsure why Brandon
brought her there, perhaps to dump her? He tells her he chose it
as it reminds him of their time in Italy. She gives him a gift,
something you can't find in a store. Assuring him it's NOT
illegal, she tells him she's an Irish girl and it's a four leafed
clover she got when she was a little girl. Feeling like she got
luck out of that little clover, she wanted to give it to him for
luck too. He kisses her, thanking her, but saying he has all the
luck he needs while looking at her. Later Maggie walks by
signaling Brandon about something. The waiter offers dessert and
Brandon agrees, so Maggie delivers a bowl of candy hearts. Sami,
who just commented was too full for dessert, politely nibbles on
one of them. Brandon tells her to read the hearts and she finds
they all say BE MINE. She finds a key in the middle of the hearts
and he asks her to move in with him (uh, what about Will?) Sami
leaps up and jumps onto Brandon's lap accepting. Maggie fills
Mickey in about how she helped Brandon earlier when he came by (aha,
so he had secret reservations apparently). Mickey comments about
Sami and Brandon living in sin, but Maggie tells him it's 2003
and not the dark ages. She knows Roman will approve (LOL, yeah,
right Maggie). Everyone stands up and applauds Sami and Brandon
as she realizes where they are. She's anxious to be domestic for
him and hopes he won't regret the decision.
Valentine's Night On Di-Island
John strokes Marlena's sleeping face and tries to wake her up
as we hear her hearing Stefano's muffled voice telling her to
sleep. She finally awakens after her 5 minute snooze and notes
all the candles in the room as John tells her happy Valentines
Day (guess he scrounged them from all the rooms or packed them in
his duffel bag). He whips some filet mignon steaks out of his
briefcase (the miracle of dried ice). The thought of steak
excites her as she starts with an appetizer, steamed John ala bed.
We return to them in the afterglow, cracking jokes as he offers
to start dinner. He pulls out a small bottle of champagne and
champagne flutes and after sipping some, gives her a beautiful
card. She reminds him why they're there. He gave her pictures of
her four children and said if it turns out that Cassie and Rex
are also her children, it will be an incredible gift to them. She
hugs him in appreciation. He wants them to find the truth and
face it together. Later he barbequed their filet over the fire
and while kissing, they hear a noise. John tells her they aren't
alone.

Belle's on the plane as Shawn walks up to her aisle after the
pilot apologizes for the delay... Back at home, Shawn shakily
goes to take another pill as Gran walks in wondering what he's
doing with them. Bo and Hope are in the lodge and when Bo opens
the door, Larry Welch is standing there. She tells him to go away.

Episode #9500
Taped 1/31/03
Director - Randy Robbins
A friend joins Belle on the plane, Bo & Hope's romantic
evening is abruptly aborted, while John & Marlena find they
have company on the island.
De Plane, De Plane
Belle changes her seat to one next to a window, settles in, and
looks up to find Rex joining her. She is ticked off, but he sits
down, and they yak it up. Rex assures her he knows she loves
Shawn, but just wants to be there for her. They chatter back and
forth, about the nuts, a bit about Paris, and about Shawn, too.
Eventually Belle decides she DOES want to return to Salem, and
talks about doing it right now. (A bit hard to do in mid-flight,
but we get the idea)
Brady House
Shawn arrives home, angry at having missed Belle, and decides to
pop another pill. Gran comes out of the kitchen, catching him,
wanting to know what he is doing. He claims they are pain pills.
Down in the cellar, Larry is congratulating himself on a job well
done. The batteries in the carbon monoxide detectors have been
replaced with dead ones, (OK, Larry, I give up, just WHERE did
you get hold of DEAD batteries?) and the pipe has been loosened.
He happily congratulates himself on a job well done, that he will
eliminate ALL the Bradys at one time. He listens thru the
registers, as Alice questions Shawn about the airport.
Upstairs Shawn moans about being too late, not being able to get
past security, snaps at Alice, then goes for water to take his
pill. She asks him to turn up the heat, as it is getting chilly
in the house. (Uh oh) Shawn returns with tea for Alice, and she
very gently tries to get him to open up. He blows up at her,
claiming he wants to be left alone, and runs upstairs.
Green Mountain Lodge
Bo & Hope are still dancing, this time to "I Can't Live
Without Your Love". Bo brings up Larry, reassuring her about
being safe from Larry. A knock at the door, Bo opens it, and Hope
sees Larry standing there, saying "Go Away". But it's
the waiter bringing food service. Hope makes an excuse, but Bo
realizes she was seeing Larry again, and apologizes for bringing
his name up in the lst place. (Wonder what he thought about Hope
in the sheet outfit, lol) Bo says they could go back home, but
then Doug & Julie would be mad at them taking away their
grandson, and the dessert he ordered would go to waste. Hope
brightens up at talk of dessert, but has something else in mind
to fill that bill. She kisses him and we rejoin them in the
afterglow of their "low cal" treat. LOLOL. Bo wants to
try for seconds, but Hope jumps up to the food cart, finding a
luscious chocolate feast. As she digs in, the phone rings... it
is Mrs. H. who tells Bo she had come to the house to bring in the
mail, and Shawn came in, is acting very strange, and that he
definitely needs them. (About time someone noticed, and leave it
to our wise Alice to realize it) Bo says they are on their way.
Tuscany
Roman & Kate arrive, talking about the last time he brought
her there in handcuffs. They have no reservations, so sit at the
bar and chat. Roman is still asking about Kate's secret and she
is still saying No. (we have heard this conversation several
times already). He rags on her about Tony, then comments that
maybe someone else knows this secret she has with Stef and will
tell. Kate claims only Stefano knew the details, and since he is
dead, no chance. She says she wants to talk to Marlena, not him.
He wonders when J&M are returning, since John is her boss,
Kate should have a schedule. She says Not. But says she thinks he
& Marlena are off investigating Tony. Roman then guesses,
probably the DiMera Island is where they are, being that Tony is
recuperating from surgery, it is a good time to go there. (Think
again, Roman). His pager goes off, a priority code, and he leaves.
Kate stays behind, having a brandy or two.
DiMera Island
John & Marlena come into a room, to find Tony fixing himself
a drink. Their query as to what he is doing there is answered by
Tony saying it is his house, he has a right to be there, but THEY
do not, they are trespassing, and what are THEY doing there. He
comments on his most remarkable recovery (I'd say miraculous, a
few hours ago he could barely take baby steps) and claims to be a
very fast healer. (Hmmm, this is the guy who has this blood
disease that was causing him to go into fugue states quite often,
that doesn't happen any more, does it?) They all talk about
seeking information about the twins and their pasts, with Tony
claiming to be the twins' father. John & Marlena talk between
themselves about Tony, John is against joining forces with him.
Tony comes in, with a letter he just found while unpacking. He
wonders why he never noticed it before. (what the???) It is from
Stefano and he reads it aloud. Stefano says Tony probably wonders
about the gifts in Stef's bequests, and mentions the chess set to
John w/missing queen and Marlena's pillow w/the Gemini
constellation. He says he knows Marlena belongs to John, and that
she is not his Queen of the Night, but this is one time the Pawn
got the Queen. The letter notes that by now, Tony knows about the
twins, and that he should embrace them. He says something about
the key he left Tony being to his destiny.
Tony is angry, damn's Stefano and his veiled comments that mean
nothing. He tears up the letter. All 3 argue a bit about working
together, as John is soooooo against it. But Marlena is the voice
of reason, and finally they agree to search together for the
answers to all their pasts.
Back At The Brady's
Bo & Hope arrive home in time to see Shawn slamming
a book down. Shawn explodes at them, as Bo & Hope both stand
there, shocked at his attitude. Bo gets on his case, but Shawn is
downright nasty. Hope realizes it must be about Belle, that she
left today, and Shawn agrees. Bo tells Shawn he is NEVER to talk
to them that way again. Gran comes out of the kitchen, as Bo's
pager goes off - he also is called to the station on a priority
code. ( Odd, what if he was still at the Lodge?) Bo leaves.
Larry arrives back "Home" in the storm sewers, bragging
to himself about how easily he eluded all the Salem cops
stationed at the Brady place. Also gleeful at the idea he will
just as easily sneak back to watch all the Bradys being brought
out in body bags. (This is getting tiresome, the police just HAVE
to notice something or other)
Cop Shop
Roman tells Bo there was a partial fingerprint on the matchbook
Bo found in his yard. It belongs to Larry. Also, the motel
manager I.D.'d the altered photo of Larry as the man who rented
the room there. (Police artist added long blond hair and mustache).
Roman tells Bo he was right, Larry is alive. Roman comments on no
leads on the onyx stud they found, but Bo claims it will have
come from Larry when he murdered Colin. Bo sends more cops to the
Brady home, and says other officers have agreed to work double
shifts. The manhunt is on! Back at the Brady house, Alice talks
of going home, and mentions getting a headache. Hope will not
hear of it, says the guest room is made up, and she is staying
the night. Later, Hope complains to herself, that she, too, is
getting a headache, must be all the stress. She finishes her cup
of tea, then lays down on the sofa. Fade to black and white.
Preview:
Chloe in the obligatory bubble bath, candles lit all around,
saying to Brady stop stalling and get in here. Marlena grows
faint, passes out as Tony catches her, and is carrying her as
John walks in. Roman, Bo & Shawn at police station as Roman
says to Shawn we have to ask you some questions about Colin
Murphy's murder.

Episode # 9501
Tape Date: various
Director: Phil Sogard
Valentines evening is hopefully coming to a close as the Wesley's
get a visitor, Marlena sleep walks, Belle returns to Salem and
Shawn confesses.
DiMera Island
Marlena awakens hearing Dr. Rolf's hypnotic summons in her head
and leaves a sleeping John in their room to wander the house.
Tony (who sure moves nimbly for just having back surgery) follows.
Later John searches for her and finds her sleeping on a sofa.
Tony, drinking a martini, joins them saying Marlena won't wake up
this time. John wakes up as it was a dream, but finds Marlena
gone. In her white silk negligee she's still sleepwalking around
with Tony close behind. Hearing Rolf telling her to breathe and
she's almost made it, she collapses as Tony rushes to catch her
and picks her up (oh, that's REALLY good to do just after back
surgery, isn't it?) John arrives and Marlena comes to and jumps
out of Tony's arms to John's side. Tony explains what happened
and didn't awaken her in the event she was remembering something.
Marlena starts to leave and John threatens to kill Tony if he
touches Marlena again, but Tony simply said if she collapses in
his arms again, he will catch her. The 3 of them talk about the
past and Marlena said everything is hazy to her. She has to know
the truth and will do whatever Tony asks.
Back At DiMansion
Belle takes Rex back home (school out? Why aren't they at the
dorm?) and thanks him for helping her see that Shawn needs her
now. Cassie meets them in the foyer, not too happy with her
brother's actions. Belle explains she's 18 and not running away
from her problems anymore, Paris will be there in the future.
Belle learns Shawn's at home and heads over there. Cassie blasts
Rex for leaving her alone to follow Belle and finally tells him
that Shawn killed Colin Murphy when he insists on no secrets
between them. She explains about hiding in the bushes, she saw it
happen. Rex doesn't agree with Cassie's keeping it secret and
will tell if she doesn't.
Hello Daddy
Nancy opens the door to her father. No warm hug or greeting, he
just walks in. Craig joins them and realizes Nancy called her
father against his wishes, but doesn't make a big deal out of it.
Saying it was eating her alive and knowing it was bothering him
too, she asks her father if he isn't going to ask about how
Chloe's doing. She asks him why he lied to her all those years
ago and made her give Chloe up.
Clean Fun At Green Mountain Lodge
Brady joins Chloe in her bubble bath as they sit facing each
other. We return later to her sitting in front of him as he
washes and rinses her hair, kiss kiss. Later, donned in their red
robes, Brady suggests they get some night skiing in so they can
have another bath. Chloe tells him she's tired after her attempt
to ski all day and just wants to go to bed. First she needs to
call home as they don't know where she is. She calls and Craig
answers. He talks softly as Nancy and her father are in the room.
He assures her Nancy and the baby are fine and after she tells
him she and Brady are at Green Mountain Lodge, promises to call
her back later. She senses something's wrong and Brady offers to
take her home. She thanks him and they decide they'll come back
if they find all is well at home.
Pass The Aspirin At The Brady Home
Shawn joins Hope and Alice in the living room as they all wonder
what's wrong with them. Alice thinks perhaps they all have the
flu. Hope's glad Gran's spending the night, but Alice just wants
the comfort of her own bed. Not wanting either Shawn or Hope to
go out as they're sick too, she tells them she'll call Maggie (how
about Mickey, LOL). Bo calls to fill Hope in on what they've
learned about the matchbook and Larry and says he's tightened the
security around their house and not to worry. When he asks what's
wrong, she tells them they're coming down with the flu she thinks.
Shawn takes some aspirin. Bo asks to speak with Shawn and wants
him to come down to the station, now, to clear something up.
Cop Shop
Roman tells Bo that the stud they found was from a rented tux,
but it was Shawn's. It didn't just fall off either, it was torn
off during an apparent struggle. Arriving to see Bo after he
called (see above) Shawn pops another of Hope's pills before
going in the door to see Bo. Roman and Bo take him into Abe's
office to ask him questions about Colin's murder. Bo asks Shawn
about Colin and we get the infamous replay of his struggle with
Colin. Bo asks Roman for a minute alone with Shawn and after
Roman leaves, he pleads with his son face to face to tell him the
truth. Grabbing his son's leather jacket, holding his face, he
continues to plead that the quieter he is, the worse it looks for
him. Shawn asks for a minute to himself and Bo agrees, walking to
the other side of the room for some coffee as Roman comes in.
Shawn pops another anxiety pill (good grief kid, didn't you pay
attention during those DARE lectures???) Bo gets upset that Roman
called the DA and Abe, but Roman knows covering up doesn't help
anyone. Bo angrily vows his son had no reason to kill Colin
Murphy, still thinking it was DiMera's doing. Shawn reels around
asking them not to fight. Cassie and Rex rush in as Shawn tells
them he has to get it out in the open. Cassie tells him not to
say anything..but those fast acting pills have kicked in as Shawn
rants that Roman wants him to be the murderer so they can wrap up
the case. They all watch worriedly as Shawn throws the suspect
board to the ground, then collapses in Bo's arms.
Back At The Wesley's
Yelling at him about lying about her due date, Nancy tells her
father how he ruined her life and Chloe's, Brady and Chloe walk
in (they must have beamed over from GM Lodge as they're now
dressed and home in 2 minutes time... yowza!!!) and overhear
Nancy say that. Craig gives Chloe a hug and she asks what's going
on. Nancy asks her father to look in Chloe's eyes and confronts
him for not telling them the truth so that Chloe could know she
was conceived in love and grow up with her parents. She vows he
won't get to know either of his granddaughters. He apologizes to
Chloe and solemnly tells Nancy he'll respect her wishes and that
he loves her. He hopes to be part of their family again one day
and leaves. Chloe apologizes to her mother for all the misery she
gave herself and her mother the past few years. She now has her
family and her future to look forward to. Craig reminds them it's
still Valentine's Day and Chloe asks if they mind if she and
Brady go back to the lodge (only a 2 minute drive after all),
Craig and Nancy are fine with it and all hug.
Back At The Brady Fortress
Hope yells goodbye to Gran as Maggie apparently is driving her
home. Belle walks up and she and Hope talk in the driveway as
Larry lurks near their toter (hello, GREAT SECURITY BO!!). Larry
overhears Hope telling Belle about the matchbook that Bo found
and they know Larry's still alive. Belle sees that Hope isn't
feeling well and suggests they go inside (NO!). Hope agrees as
the two walk arm in arm inside as Larry curses himself about the
matchbook and his smoking habit is helping his plan go up in
smoke. He sneaks away with not a cop in sight, to the Brady
basement to check on his handiwork. Upstairs Hope and Belle talk
about Shawn. Belle learns Shawn had gone to the airport to see
her, but doesn't know why. Hope tries to figure out why Shawn and
Belle had broken up. Shawn told her they it was a mutual decision
for him and Belle to give each other space. Belle gets upset,
denying her wanting space and goes to leave, knowing Hope doesn't
need to seeing her feel sorry for herself. Hope tells Belle she
loves her very much and is proud of both Shawn and her. She
offers her help and promises not to be defensive for her son. If
he's hurt Belle, she wants to know it. Hope's starting to feel
sick again and Belle asks about her headache. She offers to leave
and let Hope rest, but Hope asks her to stay. She tells Belle
that Zack is with Doug and Julie and asks for some antacid.
Holding her stomach, Hope struggles up out of the chair. She sees
Larry Welch in a blur across the room. She thinks it's a cop and
tells him she was feeling sick. Larry walks up, saying "sick?".
Hope freaks, knowing the PD is guarding her house (hahahaha) and
he catches her by the wrists as she falls to her knees. He tells
her it's him, in the flesh as he strokes his face with her hands.
Preview:
Victor tells Mrs. Kiriakis she's been a very naughty girl, Larry
taking a vase out of Belle's grasp saying "Miss Black in the
living room with a vase" (gotta love those CLUE references,
haha) as he tosses the vase across the room and holds Belle. Tony
and John duel as John catches Tony's arm with his sword.

On DiMera Island
Marlena, John and Tony are in the living room as Tony talks of
wanting to help Marlena regain her memories. He tells them that
he had workers brought in to help that happen. (They are working
in the tower room). Tony and John argue as she watches. Tony
claims he only wants to help, but John insists they don't NEED
his help. Marlena has had enough and leaves alone to go for a
walk. John and Tony continue to argue as Tony complains of John's
treatment of him. John notices the fencing swords on the wall and
talks of how things were settled long ago, by dueling. He takes
them down and tosses one to Tony suggesting they settle their
differences in the same manner. John tosses him a mask and Tony
reluctantly obliges. Outside, Marlena is walking by the ocean and
hears a baby crying, following the sound. As John and Tony fight,
John cuts Tony across the arm. They continue to fight as Tony
does the same for John. They hear Marlena's voice yelling "NO,
NO" and both rush out. Marlena is teetering on the edge of a
cliff, looking down, yelling "No, No, don't go". John
and Tony arrive and John grabs her just in time (before she falls)
and holds her tight. He carries her inside as Tony fixes her a
drink. She notices that both of them are bleeding as they tell
her that they were just having some fun. John asks why she was on
the cliff and she says that something was calling to her. She
says that someone was leaving in a boat and it was breaking her
heart. She says that the memories are coming back to her in
pieces and she can't put them together. She tells John that she
MUST learn the truth and that Tony might be able to help. She is
adamant about it and John finally gives in as they all head for
the tower room.
At The Kirakis Mansion
Nicole is in her bedroom, having flashbacks of Victor discussing
Colin's murder and his threats to her. She is terrified as he
comes in. He grabs her by the nape of the neck and asks if she
really thought she could get away with it. He lets her up and
they spar verbally. She tells him that she isn't up to this, but
he makes her listen to him. He pulls out an envelope, telling her
it is a belated wedding gift. She reads the papers inside and has
a horrified look on her face. Victor tells her to admit that what
she read is true and if she doesn't, he will turn it over to the
press. She says it is all true and tears up the papers as Victor
laughs at her, telling her that all the originals is in his safe
along with the videotape. She looks like a trapped animal as he
tells her that she will NEVER get her hands on the evidence. She
asks why he just doesn't divorce her, but her tells her that
would be too good for her. Instead, she will pay for the rest of
her life. Nicole asks what he has planned as he taunts her. He
informs her that she has lost ALL her rights and that her life is
going to become very hard. He tosses her down and says that she
will now become his serf, a servant to his Czar. He says that
from now on, her answer will always be "yes" to him.
She finally says "you win, I'm no match for you". He
agrees, calling himself Czar Victor, all powerful and all-knowing.
He tells her that her only reason to live is to give him pleasure
as he kisses her.
At The Hospital
Apparently, Shawn collapsed at the police station as he is now
being wheeled into the ER, followed by Bo and Roman. Bo calls
home to check on Hope, but she doesn't answer. He tells Roman
that he KNEW something was wrong with Shawn. Cassie and Rex rush
in, with Cassie blaming Bo and (especially) Roman for what
happened. Roman is sure that they know something and vows to find
out what it is. Cassie clams up as Craig comes out and hands them
the prescription bottle. Roman wants to go and talk to Shawn, but
Bo goes instead. Rex apologizes to Cassie for taking her to the
police station and says he should have tried to protect her
better. In the ER, Shawn is freaking out as he tells Bo about
taking Hope's pills. Bo questions him wanting to know WHY he took
them. Shawn finally blurts out that he killed Colin. (Roman is
standing nearby and overhears this, saying "Oh My God".
Kate arrives, finding Roman back in the waiting room. She can
tell something is bothering him, but he won't tell her what. She
hugs him and says if he needs to talk, she is there. Back in the
ER, Bo tries to make sense of what Shawn is saying but he just
keeps saying "Sorry, I'm so sorry". Craig comes in and
informs them that the drugs in the bottle didn't match what was
on the label and that Shawn has been taking amphetamines. Bo
returns to the lobby as Roman pressures him to tell him what
Shawn said, but Bo won't say a word. Bo is called back to the ER
and as he talks with Craig, realizes that the medicine must have
been tampered with. He questions Shawn about Hope and he tells
him that she wasn't feeling well and thinks maybe she went to bed.
Shawn thinks he should go check on her. Bo has Roman call the
cops on duty and they tell him that all is quiet at the house.
Cassie wants to talk to Shawn but Roman won't let her and tells
Rex to take her home. He promises he will talk to her in the
morning. Rex assures him he will be talking to their lawyer. Bo
tells Shawn that he is going home to check on Hope and Shawn
becomes very agitated, wanting to go with him, but Bo tells him
to stay put.
At The Brady House
As Larry is holding Hope, Belle is watching from the stairway.
Hope sees her and occupies Larry's attention (actually he is
taunting her, but she plays along). He lets her know that he has
poisoned her with carbon monoxide. Belle picks up a vase and
sneaks down the stairs and up behind Larry. But he sees her
reflection in a photograph and grabs her. He says "Miss
Black in the living room with a vase? I don't think so!" (another
reference to the game Clue). He holds her tight and taunts her as
well, saying he KNEW that she was in the house and would have to
deal with her. He instructs Belle to go and get a hammer and
nails to nail the windows shut but she refuses so he pulls his
gun on her. You can see that Hope is getting weaker and weaker
and finally faints to the floor. Larry says that she is probably
dead. After Belle finishes nailing the windows shut, Larry (who
MUST come prepared for anything) glues the locks shut on the door.
For those wondering, yes, the fumes are starting to get to him as
well and he decides it is time to go. He handcuffs Belle to the
staircase and instructs her to take deep breaths. Larry checks on
Hope (who is unconscious by now) and informs Belle that he will
be leaving the way he came, through the basement. He tells her if
she screams, he will come back and shoot her, then leaves. On his
way down, the fumes get to him as well and he is struggling to
stay on his feet. He falls to the floor and collapses. Upstairs,
Hope coughs and wakes up. She sees Belle, who tells her that he
is gone. She tries to get up, but is too weak. Belle throws a
vase to the floor and says that they are going to die. Hope
collapses again as Belle says it is up to her. Fade to black.
