At Jack and Jens, Abby comes downstairs and asks where Dad is? Jen says hes not here, and he might not be coming home. Jen says hes missing again. Abby asks how did this happen? Why didnt she stay with him? Jen says when that wave came crashing down they were all separated. Patrick says it was a miracle her mom was able to hold onto her brother. Jen says if it wasnt for Patrick she and her brother would be dead too. Abby says she wont go through this again. She says it was her moms fault dad left in the first place and it is her fault now! Jen asks how can this be her fault? Jen tells Abby that she risked her life to go find him and bring Jack back to her. Patrick says they are still searching for Jack, Brady Black is with the coast guard now. Abby asks why Patrick didnt stay with them? Jen says the coast guard wanted all the survivors to get back, and she wanted to get back to her. Abby says she just wants her dad back, she cant believe he was alive this whole time. Abby says she knew and she never told her, she just sent her off to camp. Abby says if her mom could make it home then why not him. Jen says he tried, but Abby says she doesnt believe her. Abby says if only one of them could come home then why did it have to be her. Patrick says she doesnt mean that, but Abby says she does. Chelsea, Abbys friend, says she knows Abby is upset right now, but she has her mom and brother back now. Chelsea asks Abby if she doesnt remember how much she missed her mom? Abby tells Chelsea to shut up because she never had her parents die and come back and then die again. Abby says no one in this whole world has. Abby tells them all to leave her alone, and she runs upstairs. Chelsea tells Jen that shes glad shes okay, and she heads off. Jen asks Patrick what she does now? She says she cant go through this again. Patrick says she is a great mother, and he is here for her. Jen thanks him. She says Abby has had so much heartache as is, and her little boy may have to grow up without his father. Patrick tells her not to give up. Jen says she wont, and she thanks Patrick for being here for her. He takes her face in his hands and says hell always be here for her.

At Bo and Hopes, Bo gets off the phone with someone and tells Hope there is still no word on the survivors, but its not looking good. Hope cant believe Jen is going to have to tell Abby that her dad might be gone again. Bo says Marlenas family will be going through the same thing. Bo says he thanks God that he didnt lose her. Just then, Jan and Shawn arrive, Shawn is carrying firewood. Hope tells Bo that she still cant believe those two are engaged, and something isnt right here. Hope says Shawn belongs with Belle. Jan seems to hear what Hope has said, and she tells Hope that she knows she doesnt approve of her, but she loves Shawn. Jan says Shawn also loves her, and nothing will keep them apart. Shawn says he wishes theyd give Jan a chance. He says hes glad his parents are home, but a lot have changed since they have been gone. Shawn says he and Belle broke up, and now he is with Jan, so get used to it. Hope says but Marlena never killed anyone. Shawn says Belle still lied to him, and shes sleeping with his former best friend. Shawn says he wants nothing to do with her. Jan says she was there for Shawn when Belle broke his heart, and she is the one who took good care of him after his accident. Hope says shes not so sure about that. Hope asks Shawn if he is sure he is okay? Shawn says hes fine aside from just some memory lapses. Hope isnt so sure he is okay, and perhaps his head injury is what is causing him to act this way. Shawn says it is his life and to back off! Hope and Bo exchanged puzzled looks, and Shawn grabs his head. Bo tells Shawn not to speak to his mother like that and to apologize. Shawn says hes sorry, and he is glad to have them back again. He also apologizes to his father. They accept his apology, and Shawn and Jan work on getting the fire started. Hope talks to Bo and says he doesnt seem like himself. He says even if Shawn and Belle did have a fight, why would he take up with Jan? Jan goes to the kitchen to get her and Shawn some sodas, and she uses the chance to listen in on Bo and Hope. She stands at the kitchen door and spies on them. Bo says if Shawn and Belle are meant to be together then no one will keep them apart. Jan says wanna bet, if she gets her way Belle will be history and Shawn will be hears forever. Hoppe tells Bo that she still thinks Jan is up to something, and shes going to find out what. Jan returns with sodas, and she asks Shawn how long they have to stay here because she wants to be alone with him. She says she can warm him up without a fire. Shawn tells her to give it a rest because he wants to spend time with his family. He says his uncle, grandma and grand father are all missing, his family needs him. He asks if she is stupid or can she not see that? He then storms off in anger. Jan says if Shawn ever finds out that he tried to electrocute his grandpa munsterthen she is toast. She also says she cant let his cop parents bust her. She says desperate times call for desperate measures. Jan begins fake crying, and Shawn asks what is wrong? Jan says seeing him with his parents is making her think of her parents and how shell never see them again. Shawn comforts her and says he is sorry. Jan says she is going to go, and Shawn says hell take her home. Shawn tells his parents that he has to head out ands spend time with Jan. He gives his parents hugs and says he is glad they are home, and hes sorry about the bike. Jan gives Hope and Bo big kisses and hugs too and tells them welcome home! They leave, and Bo gets a call from Billie. Billie is talking all erratic, and he asks her to slow down and tell him what is going on. Bo says he has to go to the station because Billie has discovered something on the disk. Hope doesnt want him to go because she has a bad feeling about things. Outside, Jan thanks Shawn for taking her home. She says he wont regret it, and gives him a big kiss. She says shell never leave his side, and no one will ever come between them.

At the hospital, Belle is taking care of John. She tells him that shes sure the doctors will have him up and moving before mom gets home. Belle says mom will come home. John says that is right, and that is the spirit. He says they always have to keep believing. Belle says just like when they believed she was innocent when it seemed impossible. She says even if mom doesnt make it back, at least they know she is not the Salem Stalker. John says she will come home, and that Brady is still down in the Caribbean helping with the search. John says shell be all right, he knows she will be. They talk about mom and what she had to have gone through. John says it is all his fault, Tony was out to destroy him and everyone close to him. Belle asks what happened to Tony? John says hes gone and she doesnt have to worry about him anymore. She asks if he is sure? John says he killed him, and thats how he ended up this way. Belle asks if he was hurtthen how did he get away? John says Marlena and Roman saved him and put him on one of the rafts. Belle says she heard about the volcano and tidal wave on the news. She asks how they got separated? John tells her the story about how Marlena strapped him to the raft to save him. 

Elsewhere, Kate watches as Sami runs into Brandon. Sami says he was supposed to be gone, and she asks if he stayed in Salem last night. He says he did. She freaks out and says her life is over! Sami says Lexie said he left, why didnt he? Brandon says he did but his car broke down, so he had to stay. He says hes glad he did stay because it was Lexies birthday and boy did she get a surprise. Sami says she doesnt care and she tells him that he has to go. She tries to pretend hes a figment of her imagination, she closes her eyes and says this isnt real, but Brandon says hes still here. He tells her to calm down because hes guessing she hasnt heard the news yet. He says he has something important to tell her. He tries to tell her why he and Lexie came to the hospital, but she doesnt want to hear it. Brandon says she doesnt know when to shut up. A nurse tells Brandon that Lexie wants to see him, and Sami tells him to go run after LExie. She asks if they are getting hot-n-heavy again. Brandon tells Sami to forget it and have a nice life. He then walks off.

Brandon meets up with Lexie to see how Abes holding up. Lexie says he is not doing well. Brandon asks if Abe knows what the doctor said, that he might not get his sight back anytime soon. LExie says yes, and that hes trying to remain upbeat. LExie says this is breaking her heart. Lexie says shes sending him to a state of the art clinic for treatment. Brandon offers to stay in Salem and help her, but she says no. she says she doesnt want him running into Sami. HE says he already did. Lexie says she was afraid of that. Brandon tells her not to worry, besides Sami doesnt want him here anymore than Lexie does. Brandon says she went off on him about his spending the night here. Lexie says Sami is afraid of her mothers premonition coming true. Lexie says given the chance Sami will turn his life and hers upside down. Brandon says Sami is not his problem anymore, she is Lucas problem now. Later, Lexie says she has to get all these forms for Abes transfer filled out. They talk about how unfair this is to Abe as Abe missed so much of Brandons life, and now he may not get to see Theo grow up. Brandon says he is sure Abe will get his site back, and he is staying in Salem because Abe needs him. She says she still wants him to go back to Chicago. Brandon says not to worry, he will be so focused on Abe that he wont have time to worry about Sami.

Kate thinks that Sami deserves whatever she gets, and that shes not going to marry her son. She looks at her wedding ring and thinks about how Roman wanted her to make peace with Sami. Kate says she hates to break her promise to Roman, but she cant let Sami marry Lucas and make his life miserable. Lucas shows up and says he heard what happened and he cant believe it. He asks when it will stop? It turns out all Lucas was talking about was the news that the dead were alive, and some are missing at sea. Lucas says he cant believe they were all alive this whole time. Lucas says Roman wont give up until he gets back to her, and he asks if there is anything he can do. She says she is fine, and she asks how his job interview went. He says it was all right. He asks his mom if she has seen Sami around as he was supposed to meet her for a blood test. Kate says Sami was here earlier. Lucas asks if she knows about her parents, and Kate says she doesnt know. Lucas says hes worried because this could destroy her.

Lucas finds Sami and tells her that they need to talk. Sami says she has not had a good day. Lucas says he knows, and he understands. She is confused and asks what hes talking about? Lucas says theyll start with the good news, her mother is not the killer and everyone knows now. She says she knew it, and damns Bo for putting her in jail and causing her to be shot. He next says that is just it, Marlena wasnt killed, shes been alive this whole time. Sami asks what hes saying? She asks where her mother is? Lucas says no one was ever killed, they were all abducted and taken to an island by Tony. Sami asks if this is a sick joke? He says its not a joke. Sami cant believe this, and she asks about her dad. Lucas says hes alive too. Sami asks how does he know? Lucas says they all escape and were on their way back home, it was on the news. Lucas says he didnt catch everything, so doesnt know what happened then, but it didnt sound good. She says they are coming back though, but Lucas says they dont know for sure. Sami says her mom and dad will do anything to come back home, the news knows nothing. Lucas says they are missing, and she asks what he means. He suggests she talk to John about this. He says John was with them the whole time. Sami then runs off to see John.

Kate goes back and talks to John and Belle. She tells Belle she tried leaving messages for Phillip, but Belle says hes on duty at the base. Belle says hes going to be upset when he learns his dad is missing. Kate says she knows, and she is grateful she and Phillip have one another. Sami and Lucas soon show up, and Sami tells John to tell her where her parents are and what he has done with them. Lucas tells her to calm down. Belle tells Sami that this is not dads fault. Sami says her dad is still missing, as is their mom. Belle says so is her grandma Caroline, cousin Cassie (Blooper!, Cassies her half-sister), as well as Jack and Victor. Sami asks what about the others? Kate says the others are fine. Sami says so its her family thats missing again. John says they are doing everything they can to find them. Sami says it looks like hes just lying on his ass doing nothing! Lucas tells her to stop, and Belle says they need to pray and be positive. Sami says she is positive they will be found. She says she knew in her heart her parents were alive this whole time, and she still knows that now too. Kate says that is a good sign, and she suggests Sami thank John for going to rescue them. Sami says John didnt succeed. Sami says she blames Kate and John for this as neither of them want her parents to be found. Kate says Roman is her husband and she wants him back. Sami asks John what happened? As he talks to her, Kate warns Lucas not to get caught in Samis cross fire if her parents dont return. 

Lucas drags Kate out of the room to lecture her. Kate says Lucas is making all their lives miserable, and she begs him to get out of this doomed relationship. Lucas says he loves Sami and he wont turn his back on her. He warns his mother not to try and break them up because if she triesthen she will lose. Kate says shes going to check her messages, and Lucas returns to the room. 

Back in the room, Sami tells John that everything will be different when her parents come home. She says she bets all the time they spent together made them realize they are still in love, and that is why mom wanted nothing to do with him and isnt here now. Belle tells Sami to stop this. John tells Sami to stop lying to herself and face the truth. Sami says he and Kate are the liars, they want her parents gone so the two of them can be together. Kate returns, and she says Brady just called and hes coming back. She says they found something, and they are brining it back. Sami says its her parents, they are alive!

November 16, 2004
The show was interrupted for Bushs announcement of the new Secretary of State half way through. I missed about ten minutes due to this. Ill try and fill in the blanks after I see the repeat on SoapNet later tonight.

At Mickey and Maggies, Doug says this is an awkward and difficult situation. Julie says and it all could have been avoided if someone listened to her or Celeste. Julie says actually someone did listen, Bonnie listened and she hustled Mickey off to the justice of the peace before Maggie could come back from the dead. Bonnie says she didnt force him to do anything; he married her of his own free will. Maggie says he married her too! Mickey says legally she is dead and Bonnie is his wife. Julie says Mickey is a lawyer so annul this sham of a marriage and go back to his one true love. Mickey says he cant do that, its not that easy. He says there has to be a legitimate reason for an annulment, and a wife returning from the dead isnt going to fly with the courts. Maggie cries and asks if that he is saying he doesnt want to be married to her anymore? Julie tells Mickey to annul the marriage and throw Bonnie out on her ashcan! Mickey says he cant, and he says Maggie is legally dead and his marriage to Bonnie is valid. Doug says they obviously havent validated the marriage in the bedroom, but he gets the idea that they have been canoodeling. Maggie says shed rather not hear about this, shed rather forget about it. Bonnie says she can assure them that Mickey will never forget their nights together, he was a real tiger. Julie says you trash talking bitch, and is about to attack Bonnie. Maggie says Julie no, this time the bitch is mine! Bonnie says lets get ready to rumble! Mickey steps in between them and says he wont have them fighting over him, as flattering as it may be. Julie says then he better choose, and he better choose Maggie! Mickey says this isnt as simple as it seems. Mickey tells Maggie that he does love her. He says when she died he wanted to end his life and join her, but Bonnie showed him that his life wasnt over and he could go on. He says he doesnt love one more than the other, and there is so much good about them both. Mickey says until this is resolved it is unfair that they ask him to choose. Maggie says he has been married to Bonnie for all of one second, she really doesnt know him anymore. Bonnie says then what is the problem, she (Maggie) obviously doesnt want to be with him anymore, so go. Julie says Bonnie is asking for a mouthful of fist. Doug says he sympathizes with Mickey because he doesnt want to hurt someone; hes in an impossible situation. Julie tells Doug that if she wasnt so happy he was alive she could kill him for saying that. (This is where the show was interrupted) Mickey tells Maggie he just cant divorce Bonnie right now, and he suggests they all live here until this is straightened out. Maggie ends up running off in tears, and Julie asks him how could he? Julie goes after Maggie, and she tells Maggie that this is not over by a long shot. Meanwhile, Bonnie tells Mickey that she knows how tough this is, but maybe its best if he let Maggie go. Bonnie says Maggie did the right thing by leaving just now; it is a woman thing which she can see more clearly. Bonnie thinks Maggie left because she no longer loves him. Doug says that is not true. Bonnie says well then she must have left because Maggie realized how great their love was and that that she (Maggie) was his past and she (Bonnie) is his future. Maggie returns and says theyll see about that. Maggie says Bonnie can take the master bedroom, shell be taking the blue room which shes renaming nightmare room because thats what shes going to be to Bonnie!

At the station, Bo meets with Billie about Tonys disk. He says Hope didnt want to come as she had a bad feeling about the disk, plus shes working on other things. Billie says she cracked the disk, and he wont believe what is on the thing. It has all the DiMera contacts, employees, payrolls, etc . . The disk has records going back to when Roman and Marlena were held by Stefano, and it has sections on Johns training. Bo says this might help John with the missing pieces of his past. Billie says some files have been deleted, and she hopes that the ISA will be able to retrieve the missing data. Billie says it will take the rest of her career in the ISA to follow up on these leads. Bo asks if she is leaving Salem? She says unless he can give her a reason to stay. Bo says he thought she was staying in town for her family, and he asks why she wants him to give him a reason to stay. She says shes not asking that, she was just asking if there was pressing matter on the force that might need her here. Bo says she doesnt have to go, Shane can assign anyone to work on this case, but Billie says she wants it. He says this work doesnt make a good life, but she says her job is her life, its all she has. Bo asks if that is the way she wants it.

At the hospital, Abe has been shipped off to a special clinic. Lexie tells Brandon if she could take Theothen shed go with him, but she cant. Lexie says they decided it was worth the sacrifice of being separated for a bit in order for him to get his sight back. Brandon says it is a good thing shes a doctor and knew what to do. Lexie doesnt know what has caused this sudden blindness, and she just hopes there is nothing else wrong with Abe. Brandon says until they find out then he will be here for her. Tek shows up and says the just got news about the others that are missing. Tek informs them that a backpack and clothing have been found near where the rafts went down, and Hope is telling John the bad news right now. He says hes sorry, and this is the last thing Abe needs. Tek asks about Abe, and Lexie says he is gone. Tek says hes sorry and goes to comfort her, but Brandon pushes him and says for him to keep his hands off Lexie. Lexie tells them both to stop this, and she asks for a moment alone with Tek. Lexie talks with Tek, and says she has to tell him something. (I never saw what was said due to the news interruption)

In Johns room, Kate says Brady is on his way back, and hes found something. Sami asks who they found? Kate says she never said they found someone, she said they found something. Sami thinks Brady is keeping mum because he wants to surprise them. Belle doesnt think her brother would do that, and neither does John. Kate says she got the impression it wasnt good news. Sami says that is because they dont want her parents to come back, but her parents will come home and they will be together. Hope walks in and says thats not going to happen. She has a bag of things with her, which she shows them. The bag is of their loved ones clothing. Sami says that could belong to anyone, but John recognizes MArlena and Romans shirt. Hope says Brady IDs Victor and Carolines clothing, as well as Jacks backpack. Sami says this doesnt prove anything. Hope says the clothes are blood stained, and the police labs are comparing the blood records against them. Sami says she wont believe it, there is no way her mom and dad are dead. Hope says shell go call the station and find out what has been learned. Sami accuses John and Kate of wanting her parents dead so they can carry on with their affair. Belle tells Sami enough, her dad could be paralyzed because he tried to save everyone. Kate says John killed Tony and allowed everyone to escape. Sami says that is what John wants them to believe. She says she bets John was just fending for himself and left her parents behind to die. Kate and John tell her to stop this lashing out in pain, shes just making things worse. Lucas says she isnt doing it to deliberately. Sami thanks Lucas for his pitiful attempt to defend her actions. Belle suggests Sami ask Lexie for something to calm her down. Sami says Lexie is the worst doctor on the planet, she is the one who pronounced them all dead. John says that was Tonys doing, he gave them a drug to make them appear dead. Sami says and who was Tonys sister, Lexie! John says Sami should be grateful nothing happened to her, she was getting close to Tony last year. Sami asks if they are saying this is her fault? Belle tells Sami that she is paranoid, she thinks everyone has it in for her. Just then Hope comes in, and she has the results. Hope says the blood matched all six victims. Sami breaks down in Lucas arms, while Kate, Belle and John comfort one another. 

Later, (after the news interruption) Sami lashes out at Belle for not showing her some support, and then she lashes out at Kate for telling Lucas lies about her. She returns to yelling at Belle about her liar of a father. Belle says her father loves their mother, and he loves her too. Sami tells Belle that her father has her brainwashed just like everyone else. Kate decides to head out, and Lucas says hes sorry about Roman. Sami also storms out of the room. Meanwhile, Hope returns Marlenas ring to John and says that they found it on the boat. John asks if she is sure Marlena wasnt on the boat, and Hope says she wasnt. John says he just felt she was, but Hope says the Japanese fisherman had no reason to lie to them. John still wants to hold out hope. Hope says they saw Stefanos corpse, and he killed Tony, so this cant be a DiMera plot . . . they are really gone.

Sami runs into Brandon in the hall, and he says he heard about her parents and he is sorry. She asks what he cares, and he says he does care, he cares about her. Sami breaks down and says he may be the only person who understands how she is feeling, and he comforts her. Lucas walks around the corner and sees this.

On the boat, Roman and Marlena wake up. They have been knocked out and their clothes have been changed. Marlena says their rescuers have left them and there is no reason to think theyll come back. MArlena says they could be held captive by Tony forever! Marlena realizes her arm is sore, and she sees theyve been injected with something. They wonder what they were injected with. Marlena says it could be anything, and who knows what will happen when it starts to affect them. Tony soon shows up with a gun, and Roman asks what they were injected with. Tony says he might as well tell them what he has planned because they cant do anything with it where they are going. Tony says they should be reaching their final destination soon. Roman asks where that is? Later, (after the interruption) Tony is gone Marlena tells Roman she knows what Tony is doing, hes given their dirty torn clothes, combined with the blood he took from them, and is going to make the others think they are dead. Roman agrees and says hes afraid they will give up searching for them. Marlena says Tony has won, they are at his mercy.

November 18, 2004
Running late, so this has been posted without proofing!
Hope calls Jen up and tells her the news about the missing, that they are dead. Jen says she cant believe this is true. Hope says she doesnt want her to be alone so shell come over there. Jen says no, she should be with Bo. Jen says shes not alone, Patrick is here. Jen says besides, she needs to go to Joe and Verns and tell them the news, as well as tell Abby. Jen tells Hope that she is glad she and Bo are okay, and Gram and Doug and Maggie. Hope says they love her and she and the baby and in their thoughts and prayers. Jen hangs up and breaks down into tears. Jen ends up looking at the pocket watch she gave to Jack and realizes hes not coming back this time. She wonders how shell tell their daughter. Patrick shows up with some tea for Jen, and he says he can go with her to Joe and Verns to get Abby. Jen says she needs to do this on her own. Patrick wishes there was something he could do. She says hes done a lot for her already. Patrick ends up getting ready to go out, and he finds Billie waiting at the front door. She is holding an envelope, and he asks what that is? She says it is the key to his past and his future. Billie tells Patrick that they just went over the computer files on the DIMera mainframe, and they have been sent to the London office for further checking. She says she didnt send his life story though. She tells Patrick that she came across his name and decoded the material, and she found all sorts of fascinating things about him. She gives him his files and says the ISA doesnt need to know any of this. Patrick realizes she knows everything on him though. Billie says yes, decoding things is her specialty, which is why she got herself kidnapped so that she could get access to the DIMera computer. Patrick asks now what? Billie says their mission was a success all in all. Jen shows up and asks how could it be a success when so many lives were lost? Billie says she didnt mean to discount the loss of innocent lives, but from the ISAs perspective Tony has been eliminated and key information gained. Billie says she heard about Jack and came over to say how sorry she is. Jen says she wanted so much for Jack to be alive, and she has given Abby false hope. Patrick excuses himself to get some wood for the fireplace while they chat. Billie tells Jen she cant stay for long, she has to go talk to her mom before going to London. Billie says shes glad Patrick is here for her. Jen breaks down again over the thought that shes lost Jack again. Patrick soon returns, and he sees Billie comforting Jack. Jen thanks Billie for stopping by. Billie says she doesnt have to thank her, Jack will be missed. Jen says Jack adored her, and Billie says she adored him right back. Jen goes to get ready to pick up Abby, and Billie looks at a photo of Jack and says how sorry she is that he wont be around. She promises Jack to make that Jen is safe and protected. Patrick says especially from him, isnt that what she means. Billie says if she needs to protect Jen from him then she will, but she doesnt think that is the case. She thinks that Jen will encourage him to turn his life around by example. Patrick says he appreciates her offer to hide his past, but he prefers to address his problems head on and not run away. She asks what he is getting at. He says he thought Bo was the love of her life, and Hope did say Billie is the only woman she felt threatened by. Billie says Bo is married with two kids, and there are some institutions once just doesnt mess with. Patrick says point taken. Billie says she supposes if she and Bo did have a child together, shed go about things differently. She ask Patrick if he would go after Jen if Jack was still alive. Patrick asks where that came from? Billie says they have all seen the way she looks at her. Patrick says like she said, some things a person shouldnt mess with. Billie says she likes him, and he asks if he can buy her a drink. She says maybe, so he says hell call her. Billie leaves, but says she has copies of his past if she needs them.

At Bo and Hopes, Bo is furious that their friends and family are going through this all over again. Bo says if DiMera was still alive. Hope says hes not, and theyll never hurt them again. Bo says they still took away part of their family. Hope says she knows. Hope says even though they are home, and they know Tony is dead, she doesnt feel like she can let their guard down. Hope says shes very worried about the disk, and asks what was on it? Bo says there was a lot on it, including what the DiMeras were planning to do with Patrick Lockhart. Hope asks what he found out about Patrick? Bo says he is clean, and the DiMeras hired him to get to them. Hope says she is glad he is clean because Jen is relying on him so much. Bo tells her not to get her hopes up as this whole disk could be a DiMera plan. Bo says as far as hes concerned the jury is still out on Lockhart. Bo says hes going to wait for Billie to get back to London and decode the rest of the disk. Hope asks if Billie is really leaving, and Bo says she is leaving Salem and is excited to get back to work. Bo says there are unhappy memories for her here. Bo ends up pulling Hope into his lap, and they kiss one another. Bo then carries Hope upstairs where they make love in the shower and in bed. Afterwards they talk about not looking back and being thankful for what they have.

At the hospital, Belle and Kate remain with John. Belle says Sami has run off and Lucas is looking for her. Kate says Sami doesnt know how much he loves her and how much he has done for her. Kate says the only one responsible for what happened was Tony. John says he should have protected Marlena. Kate says he did everything he could to protect them, and he killed Tony. She asks what more he could have done? Belle says Kate is right, and Sami has no right to blame him or anyone, so he shouldnt blame himself. John says he raised Sami and he loves her as his own, and it would hurt Marlena to see Sami this way. Belle says she hopes she just doesnt keep pushing Lucas away. John says hes worried about Sami, Lucas is good for her and hes afraid shell ruin this. Kate says Sami always pushes the men in her life away because she think they arent good enough. John says he doesnt think any man will be good enough for Sami as far as shes concerned. Kate says Lucas is crazy in love with Sami, but she doesnt love him. Kate says the only reason Sami is marrying Lucas is to get back at her. John asks Kate if she honestly thinks Sami would marry Lucas just to spite her? Kate says she does because Sami told her so. Belle says it was probably just Sami shooting her mouth off, and John says he thinks Sami loves Lucas. Kate says she may think she loves Lucas, but her heart belongs to Brandon Walker. Kate says she even bets Sami is with Brandon right now. Belle says she thought Brandon left, but Kate says hes back in town. Kate says she should go check on Lucas, and she apologizes if she upset Belle. Kate leaves, and Belle tells her dad that Sami does Lucas, but Sami has been thinking about Brandon a lot. Belle worries that Kate might be right about Samis feelings for him. John says if Brandon is the one for Sami then she better figure that out before she marries Lucas. John tells Belle that she should be studying for some finals, but John says she is a little more important than a geology test. John says he needs to call Carrie and Eric to tell them what happened, but Belle says she already did that for him. John ends up giving Marlenas wedding ring to Belle because he thinks she would have wanted him to have it. Belle says no, he should hold onto it. Lexie soon shows up to give John a checkup, so Belle heads out. LExie has the test results and says he has suffered severe trama to his spinal column, and there may be affects the cannot address medically. She says he may have to live with chronic pain for the rest of his life. She asks him to just rest for now because hes had a long day. He thanks her, but she says no thank you for help bring Abe back to me. Lexie leaves, and John looks at Marlenas ring and says he misses her.

Sami meets Brandon in the hallway, and Brandon tells her that he cares for her and is here for her. She breaks down in his arms, and Lucas catches them together. Sami pulls away, and he asks if she is okay. She says no. Lucas stays hidden and watches them. Brandon asks if she wants to talk about it? Sami says she couldnt take it anymore, listening to John how he tried to save his parents. Sami says John probably put them off the raft himself. Brandon doubts that, but Sami thinks John would have killed them if he learned they got back together on the island. Brandon says John got hurt trying to save them all from Tony, that has to count for something. Sami says she doesnt want to talk about this any more. He says fine, but she needs to talk to someone about this, perhaps Lucas. Sami says she cant talk to Lucas about her mom and dad. Lucas shows up and asks why not?
