After leaving Aremid, the Salem crew brought the Lady in White with them to Salem.
Through drugs that were given to the Lady by Marlena and Laura she remembered
who she was, but would rather die then tell them. John knew somewhere in the
back of his mind he knew who the Lady was. He had Marlena and Laura give him the
drugs so that he could remember. He revealed that the Lady was actually Rachel Blake,
Kristen and Peter's mother. She did not want to admit it at first, but
later did when Peter realized she was his mother. She explained that Stefano
had imprisoned her at Maison Blanche. She wanted to confess something and
asked for "Johnny" to see her. When John came to see her she made a confession about
her relations with Stefano. Because he knew what Stefano had done and because
he found out that Stefano blew up the car while the Blakes were in it, Stefano
had to brain wash John so John could not reveal Stefano's actions.
John, Kristen,and Marlena
When John thought he was to be executed he wrote a letter to Marlena in which
he revealed that he still loved her. After he was saved, John figured that the letter
was lost. However, the letter was brought to Marlena, but was put in with some of
her work related papers. The letter was eventually found by Kristen who hid it
from Marlena. Kristen knew that if Marlena knew John still loved her that she
would lose John to her. When Marlena found the letter it was too late, Kristen was
already
engaged and pregnant with John's child. Marlena knew that John loves her,
but he didn't know that she loved him. John believed that Marlena just wanted to
remain friends. Kristen used her risky pregnancy as a guilt trip. If Kristen
was under too much stress she could jeopardize the baby's health. Marlena
agreed not to tell John about the letter and what Kristen did to keep them
apart until the baby was safe from danger.
Stefano takes Marlena from John
Kristen, John, and Marlena all convinced Rachel Blake to have plastic surgery
to reconstruct her burnt face. Rachel agreed and the surgery was scheduled to
take place in California. John was skeptical to let Marlena and Rachel fly to
California alone, so he took security measures to protect Marlena by putting
her on one of five jets scheduled to take off. Unfortunately Kristen learned
which plane her mother and Marlena would be on and she reported it to Stefano,
but the plan was foiled when Stefano was spotted in Salem. When John searched
the plane Marlena and Rachel were on he found what was left of a pilot's
disguise that Stefano was wearing. An all out manhunt was carried out to
fond Stefano and later Stefano showed up at Jonah and Wendy's apartment where
Lexie was baby sitting Benjamin. After he left Lexie warned Abe and
John that Stefano was in Salem. Eventually at the park Stefano was caught and
arrested. John was convinced it was now safe for Marlena and Rachel to fly to San
Francisco so that Rachel could have her surgery.
The day of the flight Rachel was found bound and gagged in a secret room of the
DiMera Mansion. The person in jail who
appeared to be Stefano was not, he was a man wearing a latex mask of Stefano.
Stefano was dressed up as Rachel and was on the plane with Marlena. He made it appear
that
the plane had crashed and there were no survivors.
The Magical VR Goggles
John refused to believe that Marlena was dead and in hopes of finding her he
searched through Stefano's old warehouses for clues. In one of the warehouses he
found a pair of VR goggles. When he out them on he could see Marlena being held
captive by Stefano in a cage. He continued to use the goggles in hopes that he would
find a clue as to where she was being kept. Marlena began writing things in a diary
and Kristen became suspicious when her named was seen by John in Marlena's diary.
Kristen knew she had to destroy the goggles to protect her secrets and she set out to
do so. After peering through the goggles, John arrived at the warehouse just before
Kristen could destroy them. What neither of them realized is that Stefano had planted
a bomb to go off when the goggles were used the next time. Both Kristen and John
escaped
unharmed. However, Stefano told Marlena about the explosion and that John was dead.
Kristen's baby was unaffected by the explosion but she made John promise never to use
the goggles again. Because he realized Stefano knew when the goggles where in use
John agreed not to use them again. He would have to find another way to rescue
Marlena.
Queen of the Night
After searching through some of Stefano's supplies from the warehouse, John came upon
a game entitled "Queen of the Night". John was sure that the game was based on a real
city where Stefano had taken Marlena. For weeks he tried to uncover the city, not
knowing that Kristen knew it's location all the time. Kristen had played the game as
child and knew that the game was based on Paris. Rachel Blake eventually uncovered
the
city when she spied Kristen tearing out an article from Bella about Paris. Rachel
then suggested to John that he take Kristen on a vacation to Paris. This gave Kristen
nightmares
about being in Paris with John and stumbling across Marlena. Kristen tossed and
turned in her sleep mumbling Paris. She tried to tell John that it was just a dream
but John had to follow through on it. Paris began to look more and more like the city
he was looking for after he saw a picture and story on Bastille Day in the paper. The
costumes the people where wearing reminded him of the costume he saw Marlena dressed
up in when he saw her through the goggles. While in Paris Stefano learned that John
was in town, and he could not take the chance that John would find him. He forged a
letter to Kristen asking her to come to Paris, knowing that Kristen would do all she
could to keep John from finding Marlena. In Paris John found clues that matched up
with the game, a tapestry in a church, the underground passages, and a sketch of the
crown. John decided to lure Stefano into the open by throwing a Masquerade Ball which
centered around Marie Antoinette's crown. If his hunch was right, Stefano would try
to
steal the crown for Marlena. Meanwhile, Marlena felt that if she could get to the
ball
she could slip someone a note that she had written to Belle. Marlena feared she would
never be free again unless she gave Stefano the one thing he wanted, her body. She
would not sleep with Stefano, so she would remain his prisoner forever. Eventually
Stefano gave into Marlena's desires to go to the ball and he took her. Marlena was
dressed all in gold, just like the queen in the game. John, Abe, Lexie, Kristen, and
Renee (A french police officer and friend of John's) stood guard at the ball looking
for Stefano and Marlena, who they knew would be dressed in gold. At the ball Stefano
managed to steal the crown by having one of his men knock out Renee and then wear a
rubber mask of Renee so that stealing the crown was easy. However, Marlena managed to
get away from Stefano's men and meet up with Kristen. After harsh words Marlena ran
out of the ball room and into John. They had a short reunion because Stefano drugged
John with a needle he stuck in his neck and took them both prisoner. Kristen was
horrified as
she watched it on a small monitor John had given her. Back in the underground John
was put on trial. Stefano was the king of the underground and those who lived there
were his loyal subjects. John was found guilty on crimes against the king, trying to
steal their Queen Marlena, and driving Tony DiMera to kill himself. John's punishment
was death bye the guillotine. Meanwhile, Kristen had recalled the entrance to the
underground from childhood memories and set off to find it. Kristen found the
entrance and entered the tunnels along with Rachel, who had followed her. Kristen and
Rachel became trapped by a cave in and Abe and Lexie came to their rescue. Meanwhile
Vivian and Ivan were in Paris as well and Vivian was looking for Stefano to sign a
confession that would clear her of aiding Stefano in his escape. She had been found
by Stefano earlier and he once again threatened her life if she told anyone he was
there. She returned to a spot where Stefano had taken her and stumbled across the
entrance to the underground as well. At the execution, Marlena had foiled the
beheading once by breaking free of Stefano and placing her head under the blade. She
was saved by Stefano and then taken away. The second attempted was thwarted when
Vivian showed up. John broke free and began wrestling with the guards. Eventually
Stefano pinned him down and began strangling him. John was saved by Vivian, who hit
Stefano over the head with a 2 by 4. John escaped and found Marlena, however Vivian
was taken Prisoner bye Stefano and locked in the room. They were saved when Abe,
Lexie, Kristen, Rachel, Renee, and the french police found them. Abe had Vivian
arrested because he suspected her of being in on the whole plot. Kristen came across
the diary Marlena had been keeping and placed it in her hand bag. All of the sudden
they noticed that Rachel was gone. Back in the tunnels, Stefano had caught up with
John and Marlena and had a gun on them. Marlena was hurt in a cave in and needed
help. Stefano was about to kill John when Rachel appeared and distracted him long
enough for John to get the gun and wound Stefano. John then gave the gun to Rachel
and told her to watch Stefano while he carried Marlena to safety. When John wasn't
looking Stefano fled with Rachel behind him. The two of them ended up near
underground canisters of gas and argued. Stefano told her if she shot him the tanks
would explode and they would both die. Rachel knew what she had to do and she fired
the gun. A huge explosion followed by a cave in occurred. Stefano and Rachel's bodies
were not found, however charred pieces of clothing were. They were both presumed
dead.
The Baby Swap / Kristen gets her man
In Paris Kristen lost John's baby, but she threatened the doctor not to tell John,
and used her DiMera name to make good on the threat. Kristen, John, Marlena, and
everyone else returned to Salem and for months Kristen pretended she was pregnant
and used a pillow to pull of the appearance. Throughout her pregnancy Kristen was
watched closely by Marlena, who suspected a number of times that Kristen was not
actually pregnant, but could never prove it. Kristen tried desperately to get
pregnant again and with her brothers help tried to hypnotize John using a mirror with
a psychedelic blue light installed in it, but she could not get pregnant. When
Kristen thought all hope was lost, Stefano returned from the dead. At first Kristen
hated him
and blamed him for the death of her mother, but when he offered to help her out
of her current situation she took it. Stefano had found a woman named Susan, who
with a blond wig and a set of dentures, looked exactly like Kristen, and was really
pregnant. Susan agreed to play the part of Kristen when she had to go to the doctor's
and
when she gave birth and also agreed to give Kristen her baby in exchange for a large
sum of money. Kristen had now been faking her pregnancy for months and eventually
was
caught when Laura Horton learned the truth at the funeral of her brother Peter.
Laura saw that Kristen wasn't pregnant when Kristen ducked out of site to fix
the pregnancy pad she was wearing. Laura also learned Peter was alive, as was
Stefano. Stefano dealt with Laura by kidnapping her and erasing her memory with a
laser.
The surgery was successful at first, but later Laura began to remember things.
Stefano managed to keep Laura from remembering by providing an in home nurse (Nurse
Lynn)
who continued to watch over and drug Laura when she returned home from the hospital.
Both Kristen and Lynn kept a close watch on Laura and foiled any attempts Laura made
to try and regain her full memory from the few days Stefano had abducted her.
Right before the baby was born, John kept his promise to marry Kristen and they were
married on February 20, 1997. However, John actually married Kristen's double Susan,
even though the marriage certificate
had Kristen's name on it. Everything seemed to have worked out for Kristen until
the baby was found to have a heart defect and required surgery. Kristen feared
if she lost the baby she'd lose John to Marlena and to make matters worse Susan
returned to Salem and upon learning about her baby's health she decided that she
wanted her baby back! Kristen and Vivian managed to keep Susan away from the baby,
and Susan has agreed to let Kristen raise him because she could afford the medical
expenses for the child. Marlena posed a threat to Kristen and John's marriage, she
knew everything Kristen had done and was prepared to reveal it all to John. However,
Marlena would overhear John confess to a priest that he hoped Marlena no longer
loved him because he was dedicated to Kristen and his child. Marlena was hurt over
what she had heard and thinking she was doing the right thing she didn't expose
Kristen to John, and gave him up. Kristen had won for now.
Kristen and Susan
Kristen enlisted Vivian and Ivan to help eliminate Susan from her life,
but Susan refused to leave her son and new husband. When Susan threatened to tell
John the truth Kristen made
a drastic move and hired her as the baby's nanny. However, Susan caught onto
Kristen's
plan. Kristen had built a secret room and was planning to lock Susan in it and
rid herself of her. Susan confided in her psychiatrist Marlena Evans, who
with enough clues figured out everything. Marlena went to Kristen's place and
confronted Kristen, who admitted Susan was the mother of John Jr. and Susan married
John.
Marlena waited for John Black to return home to expose Kristen, but Kristen
turned the tables on Marlena and locked her in the secret room instead.
Susan began to become more and more attracted to John Black and honestly though
he was her husband. Susan formulated a plan in which she would become Kristen and
eventually when John loved her she would reveal the truth. Susan worked out
to get into shape and had her hair dyed and extensions added so she looked exactly
like Kristen. Susan then began to formulate a plan to lock Kristen in the secret
room that was meant hold her. However, Susan learned that Marlena was in the secret
room. When Susan went to free her, Kristen told her that if Marlena is freed she will
go after John and they would marry. When Susan learned what Kristen said was true
she couldn't let Marlena out. Later when Marlena tricked Kristen into coming into the
room Susan double crossed Kristen and locked her in the room with Marlena. With
Marlena and Kristen in the room, Susan took on Kristen's life and played to remarry
John. Susan had planned a huge wedding that mimicked Elvis and Priscilla's wedding,
costumes and all. However, Laura showed up in her nightgown. She had finally woken up
from
the drugs she had been fed by Stefano at the hospital and was determined to stop
John from marrying Kristen, or so she believed it was Kristen. Laura gave Susan a
hearty
slap across the face and Susan's fake teeth flew across the yard and landed in
Vivian's
champagne glass. Everyone was shocked, but none more that John who was fooled by
Susan
for weeks. Meanwhile in the secret room Kristen's constant digging into the wall
caused a gas
leak. By the time John rescued them, both were past out. Kristen came to, and in a
hurry
tried to marry John, but was stopped when Marlena came to. Marlena told her side
of the story and Susan backed her up. A desperate Kristen grabbed a cops gun and
threatened
to kill Marlena, but John managed to wrestle the gun away from her. Kristen, Vivian,
and
Ivan were all sent to jail for their part in kidnapping Marlena, Susan was never
prosecuted.
Kristen and Stefano have their revenge on John and Marlena
Kristen, Ivan, and Vivian were all released from jail, but Marlena and John were
finally together and were about to be married. Kristen begged Stefano to help
her, but
he was furious with for ruining his chance to kidnap Marlena. No matter how
furious he was with Kristen, Stefano knew that he could not let John and Marlena
marry because that would be a bond he could never break. Stefano learned some
information
and he and Kristen flew to the Caribbean where they found Roman Brady dying in an
ISA hospital. Kristen told Roman that Marlena had never re-married and that she and
John were married. Roman, who still loved Marlena, came back with Kristen to the US.
Kristen then dropped the bombshell that Roman was still alive right before Marlena
and
John were to be wed. The shock stopped the wedding, but nobody knew whether to
believe
this man was really Roman. John called Shane at the ISA who confirmed the man was
Roman.
Roman had contracted a bacterial infection as a result of a dangerous ISA mission
which
involved chemical weapons. Roman felt it would be better if he died away from his
family
and allowed everyone to believe he was dead. However, once Kristen told him Marlena
had never remarried he decided to return to Salem and try to win back his love, even
though he was dying.
John and Hope's Excellent Adventure
Stefano returned to Salem and allowed himself to be captured by John and Abe.
Imprisoned in his cell, Stefano told John that he was the only one who could
save Roman. Though John didn't want to believe Stefano, he had no choice but
to believe him. John knew that if Roman died then he and Marlena could never
live happily ever after. John, with Lexie and Abe's help, broke Stefano out of
jail. Stefano told John that once they were out of Salem he would reveal everything
to John. Stefano and John rushed to John's private jet, along with Kristen. However,
Marlena learned what John was about to do and she rushed to the airport with Hope
in hopes of stopping him. John would not change his mind and as Marlena and John said
goodbye, Hope snuck onboard the plane because she felt she had to protect John from
Kristen. John's plane took off and Stefano told John that they must go to a remote
jungle
island of his where he had a scientist working on the cure for Roman. However, upon
arriving at the Island, Stefano learned that his scientists ran out of a key
ingredient
and could not finish the cure without it. John asked what this ingredient was and
Stefano
told him it was a rare orchid that only grew in one particular spot in the jungle.
Unfortunately, none of Stefano's men would brave the jungle because it was inhabited
by hostile natives. John volunteered to go search for the flower and he left the
compound to brave the jungle. Stefano orchestrated it so John would leave
without
his compass, so when Hope discovered it on the ground she volunteered to go after
him. Stefano did not object to this because there were secrets in his compound that
would
trigger memories in Hope that he wanted to remain hidden. John and Hope braved the
wilderness
together and John even had to rescue Hope from some restless natives. However, the
natives
grew more and more angry that their home had been invaded and they set fire to part
of the jungle, which trapped Hope and John on a cliff. Luckily Kristen and Stefano
arrived with a helicopter to save them, but John refused to leave because he was
so close to the orchid. John scaled the cliff and put the orchid into his backpack,
but
was then knocked from the cliff by an angry native. When John did not surface, he
was believed to be dead. Hope, Stefano, and Kristen returned to the compound and
Stefano
set men out to look for John's backpack. Stefano's men returned with the backpack,
but
the orchid was not in it. However, Hope found some pollen seed which Stefano's
scientist, Dr. Rolfe,
used to complete the cure. As they were ready to leave for Salem, John shocked
everyone by
turning up alive. Unfortunately, a native shot John with a poisonous dart which
nearly
killed John. John's life was saved by a special tea and everyone prepared to return
to Salem. On the way back to Salem the plane hit a storm in the middle of the Bermuda
Triangle and the plane crashed into the ocean. As fate would have it, everyone made
it
back to Salem with the cure.
Curing Roman
While John and Hope were busy searching for the cure, Roman told his son Eric that
his dying wish was to be married to Marlena before he died. Eric told this to
Marlena,
who agreed to marry Roman only because she believed that John had lost the cure
in the jungle. As Marlena and Roman were about to become man and wife, John showed up
with the cure. The cure was administered to Roman, but Stefano had one last trick up
his
sleeve. Stefano said the cure would not work unless he gave some of his blood to
Roman.
Roman would only do this if Marlena accepted his apology and would accept him as a
friend.
Marlena reluctantly agreed, and Roman pulled through. Because he held up
his end of the bargain, Stefano was granted a full pardon. However, the
cure didn't work. Roman's body rejected it and Stefano told them if they didn't
administer a certain set of drugs, Roman would die. Marlena administered the drugs
and they did indeed save Roman. However, Roman was still in a very weak condition and
Mike
told the family that any added stress could cause a relapse. Because of his
condition,
Marlena and John could not tell Roman the truth. Eric and Sami used this to their
advantaged
and tried to reunite their parents, but Marlena told them it would not happen.
Marlena and
John informed them that as soon as Roman was well they would tell him the truth.
John saves Little Elvis and Susan
Kristen thought that if she could prove to John what a loving mother she could
be by raising Little Elvis then John may fall back in love with her. However, Susan
wasn't going to just hand Little Elvis over to Kristen. Kristen invited Susan over
and got her good and drunk. She then told Susan that she had drawn up a legal
document
that would keep Stefano, Little Elvis' real father, out of her life for good. Susan
signed
the paper and later found out what she had signed was a legal document giving Kristen
full custody of Little Elvis. Susan attempted to commit suicide by jumping off the
pier, but John rescued her. John and Marlena found out what Kristen had done
to Susan, and they decided to help Susan out. Surprisingly, Stefano willingly took
Elvis from Kristen and gave him back to Susan, but Kristen filed suit and ordered
Susan to give Elvis back to her. On the day of the hearing John managed to delay
Kristen
while Marlena and Susan went to work. At the hearing, Susan became overwhelmed with
emotions
and was forced to leave the room. Marlena spoke on Susan's behalf. Outside, Susan
quickly
changed into her Kristen get-up and she told the judge that what she did was wrong
and she
withdrew the custody papers she had filed. When Kristen learned what had happened it
was too
late. Kristen was furious with Marlena and plotted to get her revenge. John and
Marlena
both knew that as long as Stefano was around, Susan and Little Elvis would never be
safe.
John decided that the only thing they could do was to send Susan and Elvis away to
someplace
they would be safe, and he helped Susan escape to a remote village in England.
Kristen and Roman's Deception
Roman planned on asking Marlena to marry him once again and he even bought
their old house back. Upon getting a clean bill of health, Roman decided to propose
to Marlena. Kristen spotted Roman in Salem Place after he had just purchased an
engagement ring and she took him aside and decided this was the perfect
opportunity to get her revenge on Marlena. Kristen knew that John and Marlena
were at the airport seeing Susan and Little Elvis off. Kristen cried a sob story to
Roman that she was planning on surprising John with a trip in the Alamain jet, but
John had left her for another woman. Kristen told Roman that Marlena was at the
airport
saying goodbye to Susan and it would be really romantic if he were to pop the
question
to Marlena up in the air on the Alamain jet. Roman loved the idea and he went to the
airport. There Roman finally learned the truth about John and Marlena. John and
Marlena
were busy kissing and talking, unaware that Roman was listening in. After John and
Marlena
left to go to a New Years Eve party, Roman trashed the Alamain jet. Roman showed up
at the
party and went to confront John and Marlena, but the stress was too great and he
collapsed.
Roman was rushed to the hospital where Mike told him that his blood pressure was
dangerously high. However, Roman could not control his anger whenever he saw John and
Marlena
together, which caused his pressure to spike. After another talk with Kristen, Roman
decided to keep what he knew to himself in hopes that he could win back Marlena.
Roman was released and Marlena took him home, but she couldn't help but notice that
he was acting very odd, she wondered if Roman
could know the truth about her relationship with John.
Eventually, John found out that Roman did know the truth, but when he went to tell
Marlena, Roman was with her and had already told her that he knew about her and John.
Marlena and John told Roman what an evil woman Kristen really was, and Kristen ended
up loosing the one friend she had left in Salem. Roman and John both asked Marlena
to make her choice between the two of them, but Marlena told them that she
needed time to think.
Kristen Dies, John Blames Himself
Kristen became desperate to find little Elvis and broke into Marlena's penthouse.
Susan happened to fax a picture of herself that was in a local newspaper to Marlena
and Kristen
learned where Susan was hiding. Kristen made it look like she was leaving town,
but she really went up to the house Peter had built for Jen. Kristen called Susan
in England and told her to bring the baby to Salem with her and to wear a certain
outfit.
Kristen had kidnapped Sister Mary Moira and was threatening to kill her if
Susan didn't bring her the baby.
In England, Susan had met a fourth sister she never knew about, whose name
was Penelope Kent. Penelope told Susan that their mother couldn't care for four
babies, so she was given up. Susan was happy to see her sister, but Penelope told
Susan that she had a rare disease and was dying. Susan told Penelope about her
troubles with Kristen and Penelope agreed to go with Susan to Salem and deal with
Kristen. Penelope and Susan went to Salem, both wearing the same white dress, and
decided to confront Kristen. Penelope, who had a fear of flying, was downed a lot
of alcohol and an prescription drug called Placiden. Meanwhile, Kristen had drugged
up some Dr. Pepper soda cans and planned to sell Susan into white slavery and
take off with little Elvis. Susan and Penelope arrived at the Blake house, as
did Edmund. Susan drank one of the drugged drinks and was carried off by the
man Kristen sold her to. Kristen was furious to learn that Susan had not brought
little Elvis to Salem with her. Kristen disguised herself as Susan and headed
for the airport. Meanwhile, Edmund arrived at the Blake House and mistook Penelope
for Kristen. Edmund demanded to know what she had done with Susan. Penelope,
who was drunk and drugged, tried to tell Edmund she wasn't Kristen. Edmund pushed
her into the pool and she drowned within seconds. Edmund fled the scene. Later,
Marlena and John found Penelope dead in the pool, but they mistook her for Kristen.
Everyone thought Kristen had killed herself, but Roman was convinced it was murder.
John felt that he was responsible for Kristen's death and blamed himself.
Abe and John had found Kristen at the airport, but mistook her for Susan. They told
her that she couldn't leave town because they needed to question her about Kristen's
murder. Kristen was shocked and believed that Susan was the woman that they found
in the pool. Edmund returned to Salem to be with Susan, once he heard that she had
been taken into the police station for questioning.
Kristen's death was ruled a suicide, but the case was reopened when new evidence
against Laura was found. Eventually, the police believed
that Laura Horton had killed Kristen. Laura admitted going to the Blake house during
Jennifer Horton's funeral (which was staged) and she attempted to shoot at the woman
she though was Kristen. Laura missed, and thought that proved she did not kill
Kristen. When the autopsy came back it showed a high level of Placiden in her blood.
Laura
had been prescribed the same drug by Marlena and the police thought that Laura had
drugged Kristen. Kristen thought she was off the hook and was delighted to see
Laura get what she deserved, in her opinion. Unfortunately, Kristen was not off the
hook. Edmund proposed to her and Kristen had to accept, otherwise people would
grow suspicious. She also realized that she needed Edmund to take her to Elvis,
who was staying with Edmund's mother, Violet. With Caroline Brady and Maggie Horton's
help, Edmund planned a surprise wedding for "Susan." Kristen revealed herself to
Stefano, who was delighted to see she was still alive. However, Stefano told Kristen
that she had to marry Edmund, otherwise it would look suspicious. Violet arrived
in town for the wedding and she brought little Elvis with her.
Kristen tried to escape with Little Elvis once by drugging Violet, but failed.
Kristen planned
to ditch Edmund after the wedding and hide with little Elvis, Stefano
had given her his permission to raise the boy. John had given "Susan" the use
of his jet, so right after the wedding, Kristen went to work. Kristen left a
piece of chocolate with a thank you note at Marlena's penthouse. The chocolate
was filled with penicillin, which Marlena was highly allergic to. Then she fled to
the airport, where she said goodbye to Stefano. Unfortunately, Edmund found her there
and warned Stefano to stay away from them. Stefano left and the plane took off.
Up in the air, Edmund told "Susan" that he was the one who killed the woman in the
pool, but it was an accident. Kristen told Edmund that she no longer felt safe with
him and once the plane landed in Bermuda, she was leaving him. Meanwhile, Stefano
went to the Blake house to try and cover any clues up that would make the people of
Salem realize Kristen wasn't dead, Stefano too believed Susan was the one buried
in Kristen's grave. However, Stefano found a picture that Susan had given to Edmund,
it had her handwriting on the back with a little note, and Stefano realized that
Edmund had killed the woman in the pool. Stefano feared for Kristen's safety.
Meanwhile,
Susan, had escaped from the palace and made her way to Bermuda, because she had
called Violet and asked Susan if she and Edmund had arrived yet. Susan realized
that Kristen married Edmund and was impersonating her. Susan surprised both Edmund
and Kristen in Bermuda and she had a plan. Susan arranged for Kristen to be sent back
to the palace with one of the guards, who had been following Susan. Kristen tried
to bribe the man, but he wouldn't accept the bribes. Susan and Edmund married for
real and Susan forgave Edmund for accidentally killing her sister. Susan and Edmund
returned to England and Susan pretends to be Kristen every once in awhile and keep
in touch with Stefano, so he doesn't get suspicious.
