Stephanie stands outside the pub, Chelsea finds her as apparently Stephanie
called her. Chelsea can't believe Stephanie is following them on their date.
Stephanie says fine she's a pathetic stalker. Stephanie says at the race track
Morgan acted like she was interested in the cars and now she's eating nachos
for dinner. Stephanie wonders why she's acting like she's having the time of
her life. Chelsea says maybe Morgan is open minded and likes him. Stephanie says
they have nothing in common, Morgan has to be up to something. Stephanie thinks
they have to save Max from her. Chelsea says maybe Max doesn't want to be
saved. Stephanie soon realizes she may have been spotted. Chelsea tells
Stephanie that she's obsessed, this is extreme. Stephanie says she's just
looking out for him, Morgan is going to use him and dump him. Chelsea tells
Stephanie she has to let him go, she is the one who dumped him. Stephanie
didn't think he'd rebound that quick. Chelsea says he's a good looking
guy. She also says most first dates don't lead to a second. Stephanie fears
the way Max is looking at her, he may be falling for her. Chelsea says if
Stephanie still has a thing for Max then tell him. Stephanie says she doesn't,
she is just worried Morgan will take advantage of him. Chelsea says Max can
handle Morgan with his eyes closed, but maybe that is what she's worried
about. Stephanie says Max wouldn't sleep with her, he's changed. Chelsea
tells Stephanie to tell Max how she feels or she'll regret it. Stephanie says
she had her chance and blew it. She also says she can't go crawling back to
Max. She says she's just trying to protect him. Stephanie says if she goes to
Max and tells him that she still have feelings, Max will get weirded out and
think Jeremy will come back and ruin things. Stephanie says it is a lose lose
situation. Chelsea says then whey are they standing here spying on him? Chelsea
says she is worried about her. Stephanie says she's right this is a stupid
waste of time, they should go.
At the hospital, Marlena is with John as Belle makes calls to Hope and the
family. Belle goes back into her dad's room. Marlena is talking to John asking
if he can hear her. Dr. Berman says he'll be out of it because of the
morphine. Belle thinks there must be something they can do. Marlena tells Belle
that sometimes all they can do is say goodbye. Belle says he has to wake up, she
has to tell him that she loves him. Dr. Berman leaves to give him privacy.
Marlena tells Belle they have to be strong for when John wakes up.
Marlena tells John that they are telling her this is the end, that she has to say goodbye. She says he's a part of her, she can't imagine him not being with her tomorrow. She says they've always been together and they have always found their way back to each other. She says she's not giving up on them. John begins to wake up. John says he's heard every word. She asks how he feels. He says never better. Marlena kisses his cheek. John asks where his strong and unafraid Doc has gone. She says she's trying. Marlena tells John his injuries are serious and she knows he can make it. He says she was never good at lying to him, he heard a lot of what was said. He says he's glad she's with him. Marlena says she doesn't know if she can do this. John says she can, he's counting on her, the whole family is. She says she just got him back, she can't let him go again. John tells her not to cry, not now. John says he wants to take her beautiful face the way it looked on their wedding day with him. John says they had a good run, no regrets. Marlena says Sami and Belle are outside, people are coming . . . John says to say goodbye. Marlena says yes. John asks her to lay in bed with him, she does. John says he loves her. She says she loves him always.
Belle and Sami are outside John's room, Belle asks how this can happen again. Sami says it isn't fair. Belle says she was just with him last week, they were going over wedding ideas. She says he was laughing and joking and telling her not to play YMCA at the reception. She says now he won't be at the wedding, Claire will never even know him. Sami says she knows how she's feeling, it's hard. Belle says there is just so much John wanted to do, he wanted to take Claire to see the cubs when she was older. Sami tells Belle to focus on all the good times, all the good memories and what a special man he was. Shawn then shows up to be with Belle. He says he's sorry, he didn't hear the phone. He's glad Lucas came and woke him up. Later Marlena tells Belle that daddy is awake and can see her. She goes in to see him. Shawn tells Marlena how sorry he is. He says he'll call grandma and grandpa, they are watching Claire. Marlena asks Shawn to stay close to Belle, she'll need him. Belle goes in to see John. John tells her it is okay. John says give your daddy a hug, she does. He asks where Claire is. Belle says Shawn's grandparents are bringing her over. John says good. John tells Belle that he would give anything to see the look on her face when she sees her first game at Wrigley Field. Belle tells him not to talk like that. She cries, she says there is so much she wants to say to her. She says at the same time, she doesn't know what to say. John says just promise not to forget her daddy. Belle says she could never.
Lucas is having it out with EJ. Lucas thinks EJ did this, or Stefano did this. EJ says it's possible Stefano did, but he had nothing to do with it. Lucas says then prove it. Lucas says he won't argue with him now, Sami needs him now, she needs to mourn with her family. EJ says he'll be sensitive to her needs. However they are about to be married. Lucas says his signature isn't on the papers yet. Sami shows up, she tells EJ to leave, go talk to Stefano before someone else gets hurt. Lucas thinks EJ should be the one dying. Sami says he's not, John is. Sami cries on Lucas' shoulder. Lucas says he's here and no going anywhere. Sami again says if she had agreed marrying EJ, John wouldn't be dying. Lucas says follow her heart and not her gut. Sami says she knows this isn't fair, but how many people have to die before they admit she doesn't have a choice. Lucas says John or her family wouldn't want this. Sami says if something ever happened to Will she couldn't forgive herself. Lucas says they can get body guards and protection until Stefano dies, but Sami says it won't do any good. She says if she had another way . . . but she doesn't, she doesn't have a choice. She tells Lucas she can't stand this anymore than he does, but she can't get by this without him at her side. She says he's her true husband no matter what. Lucas doesn't know if he can do this. Lucas says he can do everything she asked him to, but what will happen, they'll spend a little time together? He says every night she'll go home to him, every night he'll pull her closer. She says they won't let EJ come between them. Lucas says she doesn't think it is strange she just said that? Marlena interupts and tells Sami it is time. They walk off, EJ comes out of the shadows with the papers smiling.
John's whole family gathers around him, Shawn and Caroline bring in Claire. John wonders where his chowder is? She says it's coming. Claire sits on the bed with John, he hugs her and says he'll miss her so much.
October 17, 2007
Later Nick finds Jeremy packing. Jeremy thinks Maggie is already working on a family intervention to save his soul. He can't believe Nick turned him in, he thought they were friends. He says not to worry, he's out of his way. Nick says Maggie is right, talk to the cops. Jeremy says forget it. Nick says a great life he's choosing, he can't go out when he wants, do what he wants, he can't even show his license. Jeremy says he's not worried about driving when he's wanted for smuggling aliens. Jeremy asks Nick if he can spare a few bucks. Nick gives him all he has. Jeremy then goes to leave, but the boys ask where Uncle Jeremy is going? He says he doesn't want to leave, but he has to. He reminds them of their rule, smile because chicks love it. Jeremy tells them to listen to Nick and remember to root for the bears. Jeremy gives them both hugs and says don't do anything he wouldn't do, and don't do most of the stuff he would. Nick tells the boys to get to bed now. Nick tells Jeremy if he sticks around they'll make good character witnesses. Jeremy says he can't. He also tells Nick not to give up on Chelsea. Nick says he'll miss having him around. Jeremy says he's all right. They knock fists and Jeremy heads out.
At the sorority house, Morgan and Stephanie have chai tea and
talk. Stephanie thinks she should probably check in with her mom at the hospital
and then head home, she's tired. Morgan says all that ducking and hiding tires
a girl out. She says she saw Stephanie following them the whole night. Morgan
says she saw her at the tracks, but Stephanie says she goes there all the time,
she has friends with the pits. Morgan says and at the pub? Stephanie says she
and Chelsea go there all the time too. Morgan tells Stephanie that an Alpha Chi
Theta doesn't take another girl's guy, so if she has a thing for Max then tell
her. Morgan says she knows she and Max hung out last year and have had
encounters this year. Stephanie says Max and her decided to be friends. She
claims she just wants to make sure nobody gets hurt. Morgan says she and Max can
take care of themselves. Morgan lets her know she is going to date Max if
possible.
Bo tells Marlena he hates to do this, but he needs to ask her questions about the accident while it's fresh in her mind. Marlena says it happened so fast, it was a sedan. She says she can't recall the color, she's sorry. John wonders if Bo is making the moves on his wife. Bo says no, just taking food orders. John wants chowder and a cold one. Bo tells John that he's been thinking, which he knows is dangerous. He's been thinking about parents and family. He says there is the family you are born into, and there is the family you choose. Bo tells John how he is family, he is as much a Brady as he is. John tells Bo to win this damn war. Bo says it would be a hell of a lot easier with John with him. Bo says he needs all his brothers. John passes out. Marlena explains that his body just needs to rest. Bo runs off in tears. He tells Hope he needs air, stay here with the family.
Bo breaks down in the hall. Bo remembers how John went to see EJ at the boathouse that night to set the trap to try and catch him. Bo was supposed to go that night but couldn't as Hope was in danger, John went in his place. Bo looks over and sees some vials on a cart. He takes one and a syringe. Steve talks with John, telling him that he has to stay around and help catch this guy. Steve says they all know who did it, he's right down the hall. Hope says now is not the time. Steve says it is never the time. Kate then arrives. Lucas asks why she's here. Kate says to see a dear friend. Kate goes over to John to say goodbye to him. She says the last time they saw one another he was disappointed in her. She says she usually doesn't care what people think of her, but she cares what he thinks. She says she can't spend her life thinking she let him down. John wakes back up and says never. Marlena smiles and says it took Kate to wake him up. Belle thinks he's getting stronger, is this a good sign? Nobody says anything. Belle talks to her dad about the wedding plans, John moans. Kate asks if they can give him something for the pain, but Marlena says he's had his limit. Kate leaves the room, Sami tells Lucas that she'll be okay. Lucas says it will be a long night, he'll get her tea. Sami says she will get it and leaves.
Kate talks to Sami in the hall. She asks if she's still
marrying EJ? Sami says more like surviving with EJ. Sami says she should be
smiling, she's getting what she wants. Kate says it's the last things she
wants. She says Lucas will never let her go, but no matter what happens, at
least she knows she kept her family safe. Lucas shows up wondering what Kate
said to her. Sami says they weren't fighting. Lucas says he thought he told
Kate to leave Sami alone. Kate tells Sami good luck, she means it. Kate then
leaves. Lucas asks good luck with what? Sami says with marrying EJ.
Bo shows up to see Stefano, with a syringe behind his back.
Stefano asks how John is, Bo says he's not expected to make it. Stefano says
he's sorry, and to leave him to his reading. Bo takes the call button so they
aren't interrupted. He wants to know who ran John down. Stefano says get out.
Bo then pulls out the syringe. Stefano says Bo is going to kill a defenseless
man? Bo says interesting he said defenseless and not innocent. Stefano says
he'll help him and rolls up his sleeve. Bo demands a name of who was ordered
to kill John. Roman walks in and suggests he put that away before someone is
hurt. Stefano tells Roman that his brother has gone mad. Bo demands Stefano tell
him who ran John down. Stefano says he hears Chelsea is hell on wheels. Bo then
injects Stefano with the drug right in his chest! As it turns out, it's only
saline. EJ returns and demands they get out. Bo says if he doesn't get answers,
next time he won't be so lucky. Stefano later tells EJ he will be going back
to Italy soon. EJ wants him at his wedding, so he decides he and Sami will marry
immediately. They do this high five thing.
Back in John's room, Steve asks if they should go. Marlena says no, she wants his love ones here. Marlena says John is in terrible pain and it is time. Marlena goes to John's side. Marlena tells John that it's time for them to talk. Marlena tells John to close his eyes and rest. He says he can rest later. Marlena says he's not going to miss anything, but he says he will miss her. Marlena says he will never leave her and she will never leave him. Marlena says this isn't the end, there is no end. She says don't worry about her or Belle, they'll be okay. She says they'll be strong, he taught them how to be strong. Everyone is with John, they are all in tears. John tells Marlena that he loves her. She says she loves him and kisses him. She says he is the great love of her life. She says rest for her. She says when it is time for her to see him again, he'll have his arms wide open waiting for her. She says she'll be there, he'll be taking care of her again. She tells him to sleep and she'll see him in forever. John then dies.
Sami runs out of the room in tears. She demands Lucas sign the papers. Lucas signs them for her. Sami hugs him and says she's so sorry. . October 18, 2007 At the hospital, Tony shows up to see Stefano with a bottle of wine. He says he was going to take it to a dinner with John and Marlena, but he thought he'd bring it to Stefano as he is probably celebrating. Tony believes Stefano did this to John, just like he put him on that island for twenty years. Tony says he hardly knew his brother and doesn't really know his sister. Stefano says he's sure he and Alexandra will get along, they are both disgraces to the DiMera name. Tony warns Stefano that the Bradys will come after him, he is as good as dead now. Anna comes for Tony, saying they need to go. She tells Stefano to think she felt sorry for him, he will get everything he deserves. After they leave, Stefano makes a call and asks for his limo to be brought here. On the docks, we see flashbacks of when John returned to Marlena years ago. Marlena is on the docks thinking about John. She hears a noise and wonders if it is John. It's Roman. He says everyone is wondering where she is and is waiting for her. Marlena asks how he knew to find her here. Roman says John told him long ago about their reunion here. MArlena tells Roman she doesn't think she can do this, she can't say goodbye to him. At the pub, the Bradys are gathering before the funeral. Everyone is worried about Marlena, nobody has seen her. Sami tells Belle she's sure mom will be there. Belle gets a call from Brady, he and Chloe are snowed in in Austria and can't get here. Sami says Eric can't make it either. Sami says they'll be here for each other. Kayla meanwhile worries about the folks. Steve remembers how he was the one who brought John to Salem so many years ago. Flashbacks to John wrapped in bandages. Steve says John was just a paycheck to him then, who knew he'd turn out to be one of his best friends. Stephanie meanwhile talks to Abe and Lexie about John's passing. Celeste is there, she feels John's soul is not at peace, that he will be a restless soul. Outside the pub, EJ shows up and Lucas asks what he's doing here? EJ says he came to offer his condolences. Lucas says he killed John! Lucas decks EJ, who goes down. Everyone comes running out when they hear the commotion. Sami is furious, she knows why he is here. She says this day is not about her or him or Lucas, it's about John so respect that and leave. Steve tells EJ he better go now. Abe tells EJ not to think about pressing charges. Sami meanwhile talks to Lucas and calms him down. She tells Lucas that he knows there is only one way to end all this violence. Later at the pub, everyone has left for the funeral, everyone but Kate and EJ. Kate is pouring them drinks. He asks why she's not at the funeral. Kate asks him the same thing, she thinks he'd be wanting to celebrate his victory. Kate says this is what he wanted, it's why he put a bullet in John last year. EJ says he didn't shoot John. Kate asks who did? EJ says he doesn't know, maybe Andre or Bart. Kate says blame the dead. Kate tells EJ that he was trained his whole life to hate the Bradys before he even met them. She says now he has met them, he even fell in love with one. She says he can probably see now that the Bradys didn't deserve this vendetta. She tells him to take it from her, don't let your life be consumed by hatred, otherwise before you know it it will be too late. At the funeral home, Bo and Hope are the first to arrive. They find flowers everywhere, the coffin draped in an American flag and photos of John and John and Marlena on the sides of the coffin. They wonder who could have done all this? Father Kelly arrives and says he can explain. He says instructions and a check were delivered this morning from a V Alamain. Bo says Vivian. He asks if she's here? Father Kelly says no, she sent a note saying she felt she wasn't welcomed in Salem, but wanted John to have a proper burial. Bo says he had almost forgot about Vivian, but she sure didn't forget John. Hope asks how anyone could. Belle and Shawn arrive next. Belle sees the coffin and is in tears. She breaks down. Hope soon rushes to her to comfort her, to offer to do whatever she can for her. Later the funeral starts. Victor bursts in and walks up to the podium, everyone is stunned. He says he wasn't invited, but he had to come. He says John was a good friend, and his son-in-law at one time. He says John was a better man then he could ever hope to be. He says their relationship was strained recently, that was his fault. HE says he is sorry for how he handled the situation with Claire. He knows John would have handled it differently, and he wishes he could have too. He says he will miss John. He goes to leave. Shawn Sr. gets up and thanks him. Caroline speaks next about John. She talks about how John was like a son to her and Shawn, and for a time they thought he was their son. We see flashbacks of when they thought he was Roman and had come back to them. Hope speaks next. She says John has saved her so many times over the years. She breaks down, saying she wanted to be strong for Belle and Marlena, and most of all for John. She says she just can't, she needs her brother here with her. She steps down in tears saying John will be missed. Abe speaks next about John, saying he has known and worked with him for many years. He says even though John wasn't an official officer, in honor of his years as Captain of the force and for all his help over the years, he will be buried with full honors. He salutes John's coffin. Roman talks next. He explains how he and John had an interesting past, as they shared a life, no fault of John's. He remembers when he returned to Salem and met John, who thought he was Roman. ROman says hell he was a better Roman than he was! Roman says John later stepped aside, which he says took class and showed the kind of man he was. Anna speaks next. She says she didn't really know John all that well. She says the years Roman was gone he raised Carrie while she basically jetted around Europe looking for adventure. She says he raised Carrie, raised a better daughter than she ever could have. She says she will always be grateful to him for that. Belle gets up to speak. She puts a drawing Claire made for John up on one of his photos. She says she will never let Claire forget him, she'll teach Claire everything he taught her. She breaks down and can't go on. Sami gets up to speak about John. She says she never expected to be giving a Eulogy for John, as he always seemed invincible. She says John and her didn't always get along, that was her fault. However she says he was a second father to her, and she was very lucky to have two amazing fathers. She promises John that his death will not go without notice, it will mean something. Everyone in the church raises eyebrows at each other. Marlena speaks last. She gets up and thanks everyone for coming here today. Suddenly there is a commotion in the back of the church. The doors open and in wheels Stefano! Everyone just looks at him. October 19 , 2007 At the funeral, Stefano tells Marlena he came to pay his respects. Marlena tells him to get out! Stefano says she can't think . . . Marlena says she doesn't think, she knows. She says he has hated John and been after him since his greatest pawn turned on him. Stefano says he only hated John as he had the woman he loved. Marlena says it wasn't love, it was a sick obsession. She tells him to get out! Stefano says he admired John, he was a worth adversary. Bo and Roman tell him to leave before they throw him out. He says he will go and let them morn, pray tell they don't have another funeral to attend. Later everyone watches as John's casket is carried to the graveyard by Abe, Bo, Roman, Shawn, Steve and Tony.
Later w see Marlena return home to her bedroom with the folded
flag. She goes to her bedroom, turns on the light and says John? There is
no answer. She sees his jacket folded over the chair. She also sees his coffee
cup and book open on the night stand. Marlena breaks down.
Later Bo is hard at work trying to find evidence in the
headlight. He says they have to nail Stefano for John's murder, they don't
have time. Hope says he will, they can't lose anyone else they love.
Shawn toasts to John, a Brady if there ever was one. As he toasts, Stefano stands in the church saluting to John's photo. He then remembers branding John with the phoenix and telling him he was his pawn. We then see flashbacks of John heading to Salem, taking the name John Black, meeting Marlena and ending up on the rapids in West Virginia where she first saw his Phoenix tattoo (and wondered if he was Stefano). We also see when John gave her the charm bracelet. Shawn continues to toast to their friend, their son, their brother. Hope remembers when John woke up from the coma, Sami remembers when John walked into the pub after waking up.
A new day dawns in Salem . . . . . .
Bo and Shawn go for a run. They talk about Shawn trying out for the academy and what old Ironpants is going to put him through during training. Shawn talks to Bo about a speech his mom gave him, she doesn't want him to join the force. Bo says he agrees with mom. Shawn thinks it's a bit hypocritical given they are cops. Bo doesn't care that they are cops, they are his parents first and foremost and will always want him safe. He also says they just lost one of their dearest friends. Shawn says John wasn't a cop and it could have been an accident. Bo asks if his gut tells him it was an accident. Shawn says no. Bo says it wasn't, it was murder. Bo says John died the same way Zack did. He says Hope is as tough as steal, but she couldn't' handle losing another son.
Belle arrives at the penthouse with some tea and pastries for her mom. She got them from the bakery she liked. Marlena remembers how dad would go in there and pretend to only speak French, and she'd pretend she didn't know him when he did that. Belle asks if she wants to open the blinds, Marlena leaves it to her. Belle asks if she slept at all last night? Marlena asks if she did? Belle asks why she didn't take something? Marlena says drug herself into a dreamless sleep to wake up with out John? Belle and Marlena talk about losing John and how to deal with it. Marlena says she's counseled so many patients over their loss, listened to their words, even offering them a glass of water. She says they'd look at her as if she was mad, she must have been. She knows now no psychiatrist can mend a shattered heart. They can offer words, say you'll survive this, you'll get through. Se feels she was naive. Belle says no one can mend a shattered heart, but she did help them with their grief. Marlena says she had no idea what they were going through, the depth of their despair. She said she sat there giving them prescriptions and saying take it one day at a time. She says she got to go home to her husband, she had no idea. She says she had no idea what it was like to walk into an empty house. She says now she knows what it's like to walk into that house, find mementoes and know they'll never see their loved one again. Marlena doesn't know how she could have said they'd get threw it. Belle says it's true, what else can they do. Marlena says words can't help, they can't even scratch the surface of a grief that goes right got the core. She thinks she sounded like a horrible greeting card. She doesn't know how she could tell someone in that pain they'd keep going on. Belle hugs her mom and tells her they have to be strong. Marlena doesn't know if she can without her dad. Marlena knows Belle is mourning too. Belle says they'll get through it together and give each other strength. Marlena says she is amazing and such a blessing. Belle says they'll always be a family. Marlena says she has such wonderful memories of John. She's not sure she can live without those memories, without him. Sami then walks in with coffee and pastries asking if there is room for one more, only to find Belle beat her too it. Sami joins Marlena and Belle in bed, Marlena hugs her. Sami asks what she can do? Marlena says she's doing it now. Sami spoke to Eric on the way here, he hates that he's not here. Marlena knows, she talked to him too. Sami says Brady and Carrie are worried too. Marlena says she appreciates that. Marlena says she'll manage. Sami says she wants to help, so does Belle. Sami says she and Belle are going to take care of her. Marlena says she doesn't need taking care of. Sami does, she and Belle decide they are moving in and staying as long as she needs them. Marlena says they are so sweet, but no.
