Episode #9618
Tape date : Various
Director : Phil Sogard
Sami and Lucas's budding relationship takes a turn for the worst,
Victor is shaken by his incident and has problems with his short-term
memory, Bo and Hope are rushed to the hospital, as everyone at
the fashion show are questioned, and Rex begins to look more and
more guilty. Abe and Roman learn that the Colin Murphy case has
been re-opened. Today also marks the first day that James E.
Reilly's name appears in the credits (his name first and Dena
Higley's below it).
At The Police Station
Abe and Roman are just getting back from a meeting, both upset
that they had to miss the fashion show. Abe gets a call about the
Colin Murphy murder case being reopened. It seems that Larry
Welch recanted his confession on his deathbed and now the Feds
want it re-investigated. Neither Abe nor Roman can understand why
it is so important (neither do I). A cop comes in an tells them
that there was a 911 from the television station and that people
were hurt so they rush off.
At The Kirakis Mansion
Victor is on the floor struggling to get up as he is having
flashbacks of his warnings and threats to Nicole. He reaches for
the folder but has another attack and falls to the floor while
trying to shove the folder under the sofa. Nico comes in and
finds him and yells for Henderson to bring his pills. Later, they
have him up and he says he is feeling better. They want to call
his doctor, but Victor refuses. He only wants some tea and to be
left alone for a while. Nico volunteers to do what ever he
needed, but Victor seems to be having trouble remembering what he
was doing before he collapsed (as we see the folder on the floor).
Nico finally convinces him to go and lie down and helps him to
his room.
At The Fashion Show
Everyone is in shock as pandemonium breaks out. Marlena and Lexie
both spring into action and begin working on Bo and Hope. John
and Jenn are both yelling for someone to call 911 as John has to
hold back Shawn. Rex is watching from a distance with blood on
his shirt sleeve as he has flashbacks of the events leading up to
this, including him threatening Bo and Hope. (Okay, I think they
are making this too obvious. My intuition tells me it wasn't Rex).
Lots of little conversations going on as the paramedics arrive
and everyone claims to have seen nothing. Roman, Abe and other
cops arrive with Shawn yelling that someone tried to kill his
parents. Rex still stands off alone (and no one notices this?)
and watches from a distance. Bo and Hope are taken to the
hospital as Shawn rides with them. Belle wants to go and be with
him as Philip comforts her, then asks John if she can be excused.
Marlena says that she and Lexie should go as well, so they go and
take Belle with them. Jenn wants to call Alice, but Jack
convinces her to wait until they have more details. Abe gets
another call about the Murphy case as Abe tells them it will have
to wait. Cassie wanders off and finds Rex and notices the blood
on his arm, but he tells her that he ran into a make-up cart and
got it on him, but she is wary. Roman calls everyone in, telling
them that no one is to leave until they have been questioned.
Nicole freaks out, remembering the aftermath of Colin's murder.
Sami seems to freak out looking at all the blood on the floor as
Roman tells her it brought back her accident. After being
questioned, he asks Lucas to take her home. She refuses, but is
finally convinced that she should not drive, so she reluctantly
leaves with Lucas. Nicole and Brady are questioned (but can't
really remember anything) and are excused. Kate and Jenn provide
a list of names of crew and backstage help as well. John and
Philip go off on their own and check out the electrical box, but
find nothing. Abe gets another call, this time from the
commissioner about the Murphy case. This time he has had about
enough, telling him that Murphy isn't going to get any deader and
it must wait. But after he gets off the phone, Roman doesn't want
to see him get in trouble and convinces him that he can handle it
there. So Abe is heading over to the Kirakis mansion. Rex is
still watching everyone as Cassie is watching him carefully. She
sees him backstage washing his arm in a sink as Roman is looking
for them. He spots Cassie and heads that way as Rex walks up with
a cup of coffee that he claims he got for Cassie. While Roman is
talking to Rex, Cassie sees blood on the floor and "accidentally"
spills her coffee, then wipes it up. She doesn't know it, but
Philip is watching her the entire time.
Back At The Kiriakis Mansion
Brady and Nicole arrive, looking for Victor as Henderson meets
them in the foyer and tells them what happened. Brady wants to
take him to the hospital, but Henderson tells them that he
refused. They go into the den as Nico comes in. They tell them
about Bo and Hope, but Nico tells them to hold off on any bad
news right now. Brady sees the folder in the floor and picks it
up, asking "what is this?".
Sami & Lucas
arrive back at her apartment as she not-so-subtly tries to get
rid of him, but he can see she is upset and wants to stay with
her. She tells him to stop pretending that he cares about her as
he asks why does she keep pushing him away. She begins with a
string of insults and they begin snipping back and forth at each
other, with each blaming the other for everything that is wrong
in each others' lives. She says that he has never been in love
and that he only meddles in her life because he doesn't want to
see her happy. They argue about how things happened the night
that Will was conceived, they argue about Austin, Brandon, well,
practically everything they can think of. She calls him a jerk
and says that she HATES him and has been a poison thorn in her
side forever. Both of them continue spewing insults at each
other, with them getting uglier and uglier.
At The Hospital
The paramedics arrive with Bo and Hope with Shawn following one
step behind, They are taken to the Trauma Center, but Shawn isn't
allowed back there, so he must wait alone. Lexie, Marlena and
Belle arrive shortly thereafter, with Marlena and Lexie going
back to see if they can help as Shawn hugs Belle tight and asks
who would do this to his parents. Later, Marlena comes out to
fill them in, asking Shawn to sit down. He almost freaks out,
fearing the worst, but Marlena is straight with him, telling him
that their injuries are severe. She says that they have stopped
the bleeding but they have internal hemorrhaging, that they are
still doing tests, but there is a possibility that there could be
brain damage. They will know more after the MRI's. She tells them
that right now, the best tools they have are love and prayer.
Some guy comes by the nurses station (he had been there earlier
to deliver flowers to Tony's room) telling them that he went to
the room, but Mr. DiMera is NOT there. Lexie and other doctors
wheel Bo and Hope through the waiting area on the way to have
MRI's. Shawn tries to go with them, but Marlena stops him and
holds him back.
Preview:
Sami and Lucas are still fighting, with him saying that she is
only after Tony's money, as she picks up a vase and throws it at
him. Abe tells Nicole and Brady that the Colin Murphy case has
been reopened. Philip tells Cassie that he must show this (the
blood) to Captain Brady, as she begs him not to. Shawn asks the
doctor "Are you saying that my mother could die?" as
the doctor says "Yes". We see Bo (all bandaged up) by
Hope's bed yelling for a doctor as he is weakly saying, "Hope,
Hope, Hope".

Episode #9619
Tape Date : Various
Director : Albert Alarr
Show moves around a lot today as we find Sami and Lucas at her
apartment arguing, Abe visiting the Kiriakis household about
Colin's murder investigation, Roman investigating at the fashion
show as Philip points out possible key evidence, as friends and
family gather at the hospital about word on Bo and Hope's
condition. Hope flatlines, but will Reilly kill her off? Stay
tuned... Lucas and Sami are still arguing in her apartment (she's
in full voice now). She gets so mad at Lucas' insinuation she's
only after Tony's money that she starts throwing items off her
mantle. Lucas, knowing her so well, eyes a ceramic kitty on a
shelf nearby and threatens to smash it too if she doesn't stop.
It's something her grandmother gave her and she cherishs it, so
she stops and bursts into tears. She admits all the blood at the
fashion show made her remember her own accident. He softly
understands and offers to get her something she might need. He
goes to leave to let her rest and finds an envelope by the door.
It's a letter from Will addressed to both of them. Sami tells him
she hadn't had a chance to read it yet, but being it was
addressed to her, wanted to read it first, telling him not to get
his panties twisted or knickers wadded up about it, LOL!. Nope,
he opens it and reads that Will's having a good time at camp,
excelling in archery and basketweaving (Lucas jokes he knows what
Sami's getting for Christmas this year, ROFLMAO!). Will's tells
them he close to getting his allotted phone call (strict camp!!)
and wants to speak with both of them. Sami tells Lucas he won't
be on that call (aw, c'mon Sami!). They argue some more and Lucas
tells her how he was doing what was best for Will giving her
joint custody and now that Will's old enough, she knows he'd
choose to live with his father if he had to choose. Sami fires
back he needs a strong father figure and that's not Lucas. She
tells him to take the call alone and knows he'll poison Will's
mind about her. Lucas can't believe she won't even try to have a
united front for their son's sake. She finally agrees and demands
Lucas leave. He slams the door and her ceramic kitty falls to the
floor and breaks. She damns Lucas. At the Kiriakis mansion,
Nicole and Brady pow wow with Henderson and Nico about not
telling Victor about the "incident" at the fashion show.
After Henderson and Nico leave, Brady finds the file folder that
Victor dropped on the floor and wonders what it is. Nicole knows
what it is and remembers what Victor said he had on her. The
doorbell rings and Nicole thinks Victor changed his mind and
called his doctor, but no, it's Abe. He's there to talk about
Colin Murphy's murder. Nicole eyes the folder nervously. Brady
gently warns Abe about Victor's not being well and asks he not
mention what happened and Abe agrees. Victor joins them and Abe
asks to speak with him privately about the Colin Murphy murder.
Victor sees the folder in Brady's hands and knows what it is as
he has a flashback to his earlier discussion with Nico concerning
it, then forgetting what it was after his collapse. Victor asks
Brady and Nicole to stay and Abe agrees. Abe tells them Colin's
investigation was reopened after Larry's confession. Nicole
panics and stumbles. Brady (still carrying the stupid folder)
gets her a glass of water after seating her. Victor later stands
up to Abe saying he has nothing on anyone in his home and
questions his being there. It takes its toll on him and he falls
back on the chair as Brady shoves the folder into Abe's hands to
hold as he helps Victor. Nicole's stress level increases knowing
that Brady just handed the evidence of her guilt to Abe. Abe
learns of Victor's earlier collapse and tries to call 911. Victor
refuses and Abe hands the folder back to Brady as he decides it's
not a good time to talk. Nicole rushes up to take the folder (dumb
move Nicole) and the papers and video fall to the floor. Back to
the fashion show, we see Cassie spilling her coffee.on a pipe on
the floor covered with blood. Thinking Rex is guilty, she wipes
off the pipe and shoos it and the towel under the stage curtain.
Philip asks why she did it saying she had to know she might have
destroyed key evidence. Cassie tries to cover, but Philip still
points out the pipe to Roman (Salem's finest didn't find it
themselves). Roman has an officer bag the pipe and tells them to
take it to CSI. Philip defends what he did as Bo's his brother
and he was trying to help. If Rex were in trouble, Cassie would
do the same, right? They talk about how everyone there was
invited. She leaves with Philip wondering why Cassie's not
herself.
Kate joins Jack. He tells her Bo and Hope are still in critical
condition. Kate feels responsible. Jack ponders if the guilty
person is someone who they know. Kate calls someone for damage
control as to the fashion shows finale. Jack calls Harold and is
informed they have until 2 a.m. to get their story in as the
front page will be run in black and white. Jack tells Jen he'll
take care of everything there and she should run over to the
hospital. She feels they're responsible, but he reminds her Hope
is a Horton too and did it for the foundation. At the hospital,
Marlena and John wonder who would do such a horrible thing.
Shawn and Belle talk privately as well. Shawn vows whoever did
this will pay. The doctor comes out and tells Shawn both of his
parents are still in critical condition and are going up to
surgery. They're going to do a procedure of drilling small holes
in Bo and Hope's heads to release the pressure building up there.
John and Marlena watch and listen as well as Shawn hugs Belle
close. Later, after the surgery, we see Bo lying on a bed calling
out Hope's name. He asks his nurse about Hope's condition, but
the nurse informs him she doesn't know and goes to get Hope's
doctor. Bo can't wait and weakly gets out of bed and staggers out
of the room. Hope's in her room, also bandaged up. The doctor and
nurse aren't happy with her condition after the surgery and can't
wait any longer to talk to the family. (they really should have
had a dramatic clock shot showing the time as it elapsed during
today's show, it just doesn't have the dramatic effect as about 5
minutes later Shawn wonders what's taking so long for a quick
procedure. John and Marlena talk about how Bo and Hope
crossed Tony by messing up his deal. The doctor joins them with
the good news about Bo (who by the way is staggering around the
hospital doc) and not so good news about Hope. He tells the
family (Jen's there now too) that they did an MRI on Hope and
she's got 3 hematoma's (blood clots due to the blood vessel
ruptures). They're treating it with drugs now hoping they'll
dissolve on their own, but might have to do brain surgery if the
clots don't dissolve. Shawn asks if his mother might die. The
doctor admit's that possible. No one notices Bo walking around
the lobby during this as the family hears this bad news. Marlena
reminds John that Tony's in a coma and can't be responsible as
Belle runs after Shawn who heads to the chapel. Shawn vents to
the cross, asking how much more his family needs to be tested and
why does he (God) keep letting this happen. Belle joins him and
suggests they pray together. She reads a passage and Shawn joins
her. Later Belle reminds him there's always someone looking out
for his family as the room brightens. They turn to see Alice
standing there in the doorway. Shawn hugs Alice, happy she's
there. She assures him God and Grandpa Tom are looking over his
parents and suggests a silent prayer. She sits in the first pew
and they in the second to do so. She prays that Tom's looking
after Bo and Hope. She knows Bo has regained consciousness and
begs Tom to help their precious Hope who hasn't yet. She asks for
a sign that everything will be alright and the candle on the
altar starts flickering like crazy. Shawn points it out to Alice
who shouts, Tom, no. John and Marlena continue their dialog about
Tony. John remembers Stefano faking a coma at one time to do his
evil deeds. Later John returns to tell Marlena that Tony's not in
his room and was gone during the time of the incident. Back at
the fashion show
Roman questions Rex about what he might know. Rex remembers the
blood on his arm and when Roman asks him what's wrong son, a
figure of speech, it snaps him out of it. Rex has flashbacks
about his threat to Lucas earlier about making the people who
messed up Tony's deal will pay and wonders about himself. Rex has
more flashbacks about the blood on his arm as Roman questions him.
Roman asks Rex why he makes him feel so uncomfortable. Rex (who's
clearly got soap syndrome now as he has another flashback) of his
telling Mimi that Roman is his father. He asks to leave and Roman
agrees. Rex goes outside and surprised by who he sees
there. It's Mimi, she's home and he's happy about it. She hugs
him and he hugs her back in a tight embrace. She apologizes for
their argument and knows he'd never hurt anyone. He smiles to
himself. While Mimi's on the phone, he remembers a hand pulling
off the lights and grabbing a bar in the dark (but was it his??).
Inside Roman watches the video of the fashion show with ITH
director. He comments on how "hot" Kate is and asks
Roman if they're still dating or if she's on the market (oh
paleez). Roman tells him to ask Kate that question. The tape ends
and nothing show on it. Roman rants how many people were there
that he cared about that could have been hurt. By the time he
gets to Kate's name, Kate's in another part of the building,
thinking she and Roman can never be together.
Jack gets to the hospital and comforts Jenn. She breaks down
saying if Hope wasn't family she'd be her best friend. Bo
staggers to Hope's room and kisses her cheek. Later Hope
flatlines as Bo calls for help.
Preview:
Nicole looks over the evidence knowing it's the only evidence
that she killed Colin. Victor comes up from behind demanding she
hand it over to him. Marlena tells Belle that Tony disappeared
from his hospital room. At Dimansion, Philip tells Rex, Mimi and
Cassie that some people think Tony's responsible for what
happened to Bo and Hope. Rex loses it and launches himself onto
Philip as the girls try to stop them. Shawn, Belle and Alice pray
for Hope in the chapel as the doctor tells Bo that Hope's gone...
Bo won't believe it and tells Hope she's got to breathe for him.

Episode #9620
Tape date : Various
Director : Roger Inman
Rex covers his tracks as Mimi returns to him, Nicole almost
succeeds in gaining control, while a miracle occurs at the
hospital.
At The Hospital
John talks to Phil on the phone, telling him his
suspicions about Tony, and of his disappearance, but tells him to
stay clear since he is no longer ISA. Philip hangs up, muttering
that he knows Rex had something to do with the attack on Bo &
Hope, so heads over to DiMansion to try and find out something.
In the chapel, Alice, Shawn & Belle are praying, and see the
candle flicker. Alice says they must pray harder. In Hope's room,
Bo is at her bedside as she flatlines. The doctor & 2 nurses
rush in, using those electric paddles several times to no avail.
The doctor tells the nurse that Hope is gone, and to note the
time. A distraught Bo refuses to believe this, pushes people
aside and begins CPR, both mouth to mouth and compression. He
begs Hope to come back, saying how much he loves his FancyFace.
The scene shifts to the chapel, with Alice, Shawn & Belle
saying the Our Father, and shifts back to Bo saying the same
prayer. (O.K. folks, these scenes had me in tears), as he holds
Hope's hand. He lightly kisses her on the lips, the kiss of life,
as her monitor once again begins to beep. Her eyes flutter open,
she says Bo's name, & closes them again. The doctor is
shocked, and mutters something about a miracle. The scene slides
over to the chapel, with Alice, Shawn & Belle still praying,
as a nurse comes in to say Hope is out of the woods. Shawn &
Belle leave, but Alice remains behind to say "Thank You".
(Bless that woman, she is just a joy to watch!) Shawn comes into
Hope's room, hugs his dad and they talk about what happened.
Shawn knows when they are feeling better, they will be back to
helping people, putting themselves in danger. Bo worries about
what would have happened to Shawn & Zack (glad you finally
are thinking about them, Bo) Later, Shawn returns to the room
alone, and holds his mom's hand, telling her he loves her.
Belle tells John & Marlena the good news and all are happy.
John gets a call from the police, so Marlena gets the chance to
fill Belle in on the disappearance of Tony, & how John thinks
he may be responsible for the attack on Bo & Hope. Shawn
comes out, and decides he cannot leave the hospital, so Belle
offers to stay there with him. They hug.
It is later as Bo sneaks back into Hope's room, saying he does
not know how long he will get away with this, but he cannot rest
without her next to him. He crawls onto the bed next to her, lies
down, again telling his Fancy Face he loves her, puts his head
down next to hers.
Over At The Kiriakis Mansion
we again see the file folder fall to the floor, Brady trying
to help pick up the papers, as Nicole shoos them away, picking
them up herself. She claims they are just some business files
Victor had for her to look over, and runs upstairs. Abe wants to
call an ambulance for Victor, but he declines, and goes upstairs
after Nicole. She is frantically looking around for a lighter or
matches, but finding none, decides to use the shredder. Uh, oh,
no such luck, Nickie, here is Victor. She jumps up with the file
running around the room, even jumping up on the bed. Victor tells
her how Brady's conversation made him realize he should destroy
the evidence he has on her, get a divorce and live a better life.
Nicole comes down off the bed, Victor snatches the file, saying
that he'd changed his mind, though, and this was his life
insurance. Nicole is NOT a happy camper, lol. Downstairs, Abe is
asking Brady questions about Colin Murphy, but Brady only knew
him through the hospital, and claims he was well thought of
there, and treated Chloe very well when she first was diagnosed
with leukemia. Victor comes downstairs with the file, returning
it to the safe, claiming Nicole had gone over it and all was well.
Abe leaves, and later we see Nicole out by the pool. Evidently
she has decided to take a moonlight skinny dip, drops her robe
and goes in. Naturally, the next thing we know, Brady is standing
poolside. Tells her she is scared about something. Nik flashes
back to Victor threatening to reveal her role in Colin's murder.
Brady continues to pressure her, but Nik claims only to feel so
helpless after the evening's events, attack on Bo & Hope,
Victor's heart attack. Brady knows she is a strong woman but is
still scared. She asks him if he isn't going to come in for a
swim. Now we see Brady drop his robe, and he dives in, but he is
wearing swim trunks. Nicole just smiles.
Meanwhile, At DiMansion
Rex & Mimi arrive, are all kissy face about how they missed
each other. (Mimi looks absolutely adorable in a short white
skirt, black top that has black & white stripes at the
shoulder straps, really cute outfit, plus she has some sort of
silver meshy looking bands around her wrists that tie to her
forefinger) Cassie comes in, relieved to see Rex as she was
worried, and clues Mimi in to the attack on Bo & Hope. She
& Rex exchange a few knowing looks as she talks. Cassie goes
to answer the door, and Mimi babbles in her usual manner,
suddenly realizing that Cassie would only try to protect her
brother, and asks Rex if he might have attacked the Bradys. Rex
flashes back in pieces to a hand turning off the light switch,
picking up the pipe, etc.)
Philip comes in with the news the police think Tony might be a
suspect, as he is missing from the hospital. (so do either Rex or
Cassie call the hospital, police or anything, Nope! So much for
worrying about their "father"). Rex physically lights
into Philip, yelling that Philip should not accuse Tony. The gals
break it up, and Philip says he only said what the police think,
not him. Rex & Mimi decide to go upstairs, while Phil &
Cassie stay down to watch a movie.
In his room, both claim to be tired, but begin to kiss, as Rex
moves to the bed. He suddenly remembers his rolled up shirt
sleeve has blood on it (another flashback to Cassie seeing the
shirt, and him washing blood off his arm), so he claims a
headache & Meems goes for the medicine (you'd think he's have
it in his room with how often he gets these, but no, downstairs
is where it is kept, lol). While she is gone, he rips off his
shirt, into a waste basket, opens a drawer in a nightstand and
gets a bottle of I think alcohol, pours it in (Egads, is he
intending a forest fire?), also finding a handy book of matches (looks
as tho he was much luckier than Nicole, lolol) and drops a lit
one in. We later see him spraying air freshener all over the
room, and hiding the waste basket in his closet (hope the fire
was out), turning out the lights, and hopping into bed, under the
covers. (Really folks, GMABB, meaning give me a BIG break). Meems
returns with the pills, Rex takes them, she comments on the over
abundance of potpourri smell in the room, and that it seems to
have a smokey smell, too. (ya think?)
Downstairs, Philip chooses a car chase video over the chick
flick, lol, and soon Cassie is asleep. He sneaks upstairs. Inside
his room, Rex has left a sleeping Mimi to pick up his mike and
talk into it about these flashes he has of seeing the hand on the
electric control box switch, pipe, and the blood, but nothing
else. (is this stupid or what?) Outside the door, Philip hears
part of this. Rex hears a noise, and Philip skedaddles back
downstairs. Rex comes in to find Philip apparently asleep on the
sofa, with Cassie. He awakens Cassie, pulls her outside the room,
telling her he thinks Phil was spying on him, and he wants him
out of the house. He insists Philip is trouble for them, and she
knows why, and she should stay away from Philip. Phil is of
course awake, hearing this.
Preview:
Shawn saying that Rex is definitely a suspect, with Philip
saying "but we need hard evidence before we can charge him".
Rex to Cassie "Between my work upstairs and Tony's files in
the house, we can't let the enemy get near them". Cassie
replies that Philip is not the enemy. Sami to Marlena,
"There is nothing romantic between Tony & me",
Lucas says, "Yeah, right" & Marlena says "Sami,
you have made lots of mistakes with men and this could be the
biggest". (Sami is NOT wearing a scarf in this scene). Shawn
to Belle (in Rex's room) "Let's see what Rex is up to"
as a hand falls on Belle's shoulder, she turns and screams.

Episode #9621
Tape date : Various
Director : Herb Stein
Jack begins a new crusade, Shawn, Belle and Philip play
detective, Abe and Roman continue their investigation, and Sami
finds herself ganged up on by Lucas, Marlena, John and Roman.
Jack & Jennifer
wake up together as he talks about how lucky he is to have her as
she worries about Bo and Hope. Jack vows to find out who did this
to them as they kiss. Later (on opposite sides of the bed now ;-)
they kiss as Jack has visions of being a serious journalist
again, determined to solve this case. As they dress, Jack won't
tell Jennifer what his plans are (the less she knows the better
he says). She doesn't understand why he feels the need to prove
himself, but he talks about making himself worthy of being
married to her. He talks about (who he thought was) his father,
the senator, and his childhood and how it was all a sham. He says
he needs to prove his love to the perfect Jennifer Horton for the
rest of the days of their lives, saying he is going to make her
and Abigail proud of him. She assures him that they love him and
are proud of him now, but he is determined, saying that she can't
talk him out of it. He says that he won't carry on with the show
anymore and she offers to help him, but he doesn't want her in
harm's way. He says that there is no way she can talk him out of
this, he will do whatever it takes.
Over At DiMansion
Rex wakes up having a LONG string of flashbacks of the events
after the fashion show (yes, the flashbacks we have already seen
100 times). He jumps up and rushes to the bathroom, thinking he
must get rid of the shirt (it didn't burn completely).
Downstairs, Philip and Cassie wake up on the sofa as Philip gets
up and begins to snoop around. He finds the alarm system panel
and disables it. He calls TEK telling he plans on coming back
later and searching. He turns to find Cassie standing there (but
she didn't hear). Philip talks about how he was surprised she
didn't come on to him as she gets uncomfortable, telling Philip
she sees him as a "brother" type friend. Rex sees/hears
them from the top of the stairs and heads back up to find Mimi
waking up (fully clothed). She can see he is agitated and
suggests again the he get help. He explodes all over her,
frightening her. She thinks all this is stemming from him not
wanting to give up the DiMera name and he tells her to stay out
of it. They go downstairs as Rex jumps Cassie about Philip
staying the night. They argue as Rex calls Philip the "enemy".
Cassie defends him but Rex is afraid of what he may find out.
Mimi suggests that they just tell everyone the truth about their
parentage, which both Rex and Cassie which say they can't,
telling Mimi to stay out of it. Cassie trashes Kate and Roman
with Rex saying that they will STAY DiMeras. Later, Cassie is
gone and Rex and Mimi head for the hospital, her to check on the
Bradys and him to visit Tony (has no one told him that Tony is
missing yet?).
At The Hospital
Abe and Roman are at the hospital talking about the case as they
vow to catch the culprit. Abe flips through a report and says
that they have a lead. It is about the pipe and reads that it was
wiped clean of prints, but thee were traces of coffee, blood,
fiber and strands of hair as they believe it is the weapon used.
They consider that Tony may have been involved, since Bo and Hope
blew his deal. They also consider those close to Tony, Lucas,
Cassie and Rex.
Sami also arrives at the hospital (sans scarf) headed to visit
with Tony. John and Marlena walk up as Marlena tells her to stay
away from Tony. John tells her about Tony missing as they ask
just WHY she is so interested in him. They tell him that Tony may
be a suspect in the attack but Sami doesn't believe them. Marlena
talks about Sami's bad choices and says that Tony could be the
worst. Lucas walks up agreeing with her as Sami tells him to butt
out. He tells her that ever since she got her voice back, she
just can't keep her mouth shut (LOL, so true!) He talks about all
the gifts she has been accepting from Tony lately, saying that
she is waiting for the engagement ring. Sami swears that there is
nothing romantic between them and that Tony is only giving her
the gifts out of guilt. Lucas continues to push her buttons as
she threatens him. Marlena lectures her with Sami asking why
everyone is ganging up on her. Her mother begs her to stay away
from Tony as she and John leave. After they leave, Sami asks
Lucas just HOW does he want to die. Sami keeps declaring that she
is NOT after Tony and mentions him missing (which Lucas didn't
know yet). On their way out, John and Marlena run in to Roman and
Abe. John and Abe talk as Marlena tells Roman she needs to talk
to him about Sami. Later, Roman and Marlena walk up to Sami with
Roman also telling her to stay away from Tony. Sami (getting
really PO'd) tells him that she is NOT taking orders from him and
for everyone to stay out of her life. She says that she will
surprise them all and come out on top this time.
As Abe and John are talking, Cassie arrives, looking for Marlena.
Abe asks to speak to her alone as she has (more of those
wonderful) flashbacks of the events after the fashion show (LONG
series of flashbacks, mind you). She asks him just WHAT has
Philip told you? She covers (telling him about spilling the
coffee) and then rushes off. Meanwhile John is questioning a
nurse how likely that Tony would wake up and wander off.
According to her, not very (Oh, come on honey...this is Salem...ANYTHING
is possible! ;-).
At The Pub
Shawn and Belle are there, both tired and worn out from the night
before. Shawn vows to nail the one who did this to his parents.
Belle tries to convince him to let it go as Philip walks up and
offers his help, telling them that he has a suspect in mind
already, Rex. Belle doesn't believe it, but it makes sense to
Shawn as he explains. Belle remembers Mimi telling her about
Rex's headaches and violent outbursts and how worried she is
about him. They decide that they need real evidence. Philip wants
to go to DiMansion and snoop around, but Shawn tells him no, let
the police handle it. As Shawn goes to visit with Zack, Philip
and Belle continue to talk about it. She too suggests that Philip
stay out of it so he finally agrees and leaves. When Shawn
returns, he tells Belle that he is going over to DiMansion to
snoop around (he just didn't want Philip along). She won't let
him, unless he lets her go along so he agrees. As Mimi and Rex
are leaving the house, Belle and Shawn are hiding in the bushes.
They sneak in the house as we see Rex going back to get his
wallet. Shawn and Belle sneak into his room and Shawn heads for
the computer, just as a hand falls on Belle's shoulder and she
screams.
Preview:
Brady tells Nicole that they are going hang-gliding. She asks
if he is freakin' crazy. John slaps Tony (who is unconscious and
back in the hospital, did they "misplace" him?) as
Marlena gasps. Shawn, Philip and Belle are looking at Rex's
monitor with Shawn saying that they just found a motive for Rex
trying to kill his parents. Bo is lying next to Hope (in her
hospital bed) saying "Come on, Fancy Face, time to open
those pretty eyes".

Episode #9622
Tape Date : Various
Director : Albert Alarr
Hope wakes up and the visitors arrive, Tony is found, Belle,
Shawn and Philip hack into Rex's computer and Brady leaps off a
cliff with Nicole.
Brady Has A Surprise for Nicole and wants to take her some
place to make her feel really free. He tells her Victor's in
business meetings all day and won't find out, but if he does,
he'll take the blame. He takes her hand and off they go. We find
them next to a hang glider and Nicole tells Brady he's nuts. He's
done it a "million" times and insists how safe it is.
He tells her how one gets a sense of peace and gentleness while
flying and the day is perfect for it. He tells her that he'll be
with her the entire time and she finally agrees as he harnesses
her up. After their flight down back to the car, Nicole tells him
how free she felt and hadn't felt as free since (FLASHBACK of
when she shot Colin). He asks when that was. She claims it's been
so long she can't remember. Their adventure was perfect until she
had to come back to earth. She suggests they go back to Victor's
compound (LOL), but he has another surprise and takes the top
down on his jeep. Later we find them parked in the jeep by a
billboard (?). A huge jumbo jet takes off over them (we see it's
reflection on the billboard) and Brady tells her it's one of his
favorite things to do (did he take Chloe there?) as he then
imagines where the passengers on the plane are going. Nicole
would like to be one of those passengers and go somewhere exotic
and start over free. He realizes being free is what she wants
more then anything else. She knows it's only a dream though. He's
sorry her life has been so hard on her. She knows people have had
it much worse and tries to remember that. She asks him about
himself. She asks what he wants out of life. He wants to be hard
working, dedicated to his career, good son, brother, grandson,
etc. and wants to be respected and find someone to fall in love
with and to have children and dogs, maybe even a parakeet. She
asks if he ever thought about having children with Chloe and if
he's still upset she didn't call about her debut. He says he's
over Chloe not calling and how she called at first, but they
talked about everything except their relationship. Nicole tells
him that Chloe was wrong for him. He gets a little defensive, but
understands Nicole's being a friend and they decide to talk about
something else. She tells him how perfect today is and has had a
great time. She loves driving with the top down and there's
nothing like the feeling of freedom. FLASHBACK of her and Victor
earlier when he tells her he'll think about what to do now. She
gets out of the car and watches anything plane take off.
At Dimera Mansion, Philip scares Belle and Shawn, upset
they came without him and tells them he at least knows what he's
doing (yeah, that's why the ISA dumped you). The two guys start
arguing and Belle intervenes, suggesting they work together.
Philip asks Shawn why he brought Belle being it would put her in
danger (sorta like a younger John, Roman and Marlena, huh?). The
two bicker until Belle suggests they all work on this together
again. The two guys argue, but agree. Belle tells them Mimi said
everything Rex has been working on is tied in with his computer
as Shawn sits down to try and figure it out. They need to figure
out the password and Philip suggests different ones..starting
with Dimera, Rex, Cassie, Tony, Mimi. Belle suggests "Gemini"
and of course, that works. She claims to be the brains of the
outfit as the program opens up. Belle realizes the code is the
alphabet reversed and Philip realizes they are equations. They
figure it out to be a step by step, year by year plan to be rich
and powerful. He asks who would do such a program and they all
answer, Rex Dimera (gee, being it's Rex's computer, a toughie).
Shawn realizes it's a motive to try and kill his parents. They
hear the front door slam (noisy mansion).
A Nurse Finds Bo in bed with Hope. She insists he return to
his own room, but he refuses. She leaves and he tells Hope it's
time to wake up and open her pretty eyes. She does so. Noticing
he's bandaged as well, she asks what happened. He tells her,
including the brain surgery they both had. She figures bounty
hunting wasn't such a great idea. He knows he could handle it,
but doesn't like seeing her get hurt. He's anxious to get well
and get the bastards that did this. Roman walks in to see them.
Bo asks for any progress on who did it, but they're looking at
the possibility it was Tony Dimera. He leaves as Maggie and
Mickey walk in (great to see them together and in casual outfits!!)
Hope smiles at her visitors and tells them as long as Bo's there,
she's fine. Bo stops Maggie from leaving to get him a blanket.
They told her they took Alice home to rest as she hadn't left the
chapel. They'll bring her back later. Mickey tells Hope her dad
and Julie are out of town, but they sent their love and will see
her as soon as they can (ok... someone write a visit from Doug
and Julie in the script, ok?) Later Maggie brings Zack in the
room and puts him on the bed. Hope tells Zack she and daddy have
boo boos on their heads, but will be home very soon. As Hope and
Zack talk, Bo comes over and thanks Mickey and Maggie for
bringing him. Bo vows revenge on who almost took Zack's parents
away from him.
Roman & Marlena continue their "stay away from
Tony" speech to Sami at the hospital. John joins them and
tells Sami he's Tony's brother, but Tony's just buying her
affection with jewelry. Lucas agrees and Sami is surrounded. She
tells Lucas she wishes he were still in his coma. John implies
Lucas had some part in Tony's disappearance being his right hand
man. He denies it. A nurse arrives to tell John they've found
Tony. Later John looks through a window and sees Tony in bed,
still asleep/coma. A nurse tells John that Tony was taken down
for testing and the attendant brought him back to the wrong room
(oh, lovely, remind me never to go to that hospital..how long has
he been "missing" and or the staff didn't report his
whereabouts?) John orders Lucas and Sami out of the room, much to
their dismay, then proceeds to whack Tony to see if he's faking
it. Marlena is shocked, saying she'll order a brain scan to find
out. She goes into the hall and Roman talks to the orderly who
screwed up. He tells them he's dyslexic and got the room numbers
wrong. When Roman asks his name, he tells them Bob, joking his
parents must have named him that knowing he'd have this problem.
He swears Tony's been in this room all day. Later Marlena's got
the brain scan results and it shows Tony's still in a coma. Lucas
defends Tony and Marlena privately tells her ex and current
husband the facts show he really is still in a coma. Sami is
surprised when Lucas talks to Tony (who doesn't answer back), but
she herself tries to talk to Tony, saying she misses him and
wants him to wake up so they can take up where they left off.
Lucas tells her to leave and Marlena, John and Roman walk in and
agree. In the hall Lucas tells Sami they need to go home as
Will's suppose to call. Roman and Marlena ponder if Tony did fake
this, what he would do to Sami. John looks down at Tony and says
if he is responsible for what happened, he will do everything in
his power to shut him down
Preview:
Nicole is in jail in an orange jump suit, wanting out. Rex
asks Cassie if she thinks he really did that (to Bo and Hope).
Belle worries about Rex finding them up there as Philip hacks.
Lucas tells Sami she has to let up on the grudge again John.
Sami vows to never forget what John's done to her family.
