Janice’s Spoilers
There will be no caps tonight. JJ accidentally taped the wrong channel. This show was one of the most useless I have seen to date. Not only is it still the longest night in the world, but tptb would have us believe that once again Tony DiMera has outsmarted not only the U.S. Marines, but also the U.S. Defence Department. They throw out the term “Semper Fi” all over the place and not respectfully.
Samantha’s Apartment: Stan/Mimi/Lucas
Stan/Sami hides in her closet from Lucas and Mimi. A shirtless Lucas opens the door and realizes that Sami’s wedding gown is hanging there. We get flashbacks from when he, Sami, and Kate were arguing. Mimi apologizes to him. We get more flashbacks of him and Sami dancing and him proposing to her.
He talks about bad memories and about how this would have been their home with Will. He says they almost made it and that they almost got it right. (Stan/Sami is crying as she listens to him). He says that the dream was blown away. Mimi blames Sami for everything. Stan listens as Lucas tells Mimi that she and Rex belong together and that Rex will be a great father. Stan whispers a threat…sigh… Mimi tells Lucas about the new video and then leaves to go back to the loft and Lucas looks at the apartment one last time before closing the door. Stan/Sami threatens that everybody will be heartbroken by the time she’s finished.
The Pier: Abby/Chelsea. Patrick/Billie
There’s going to be a party. It’s the same night and the pier is decorated with balloons. Abby tells Chelsea she is sorry and that she thinks that Jennifer really is interested in Patrick. Chelsea is adamant that Patrick is hers. Abby asks her what is happening with her plans for Patrick. Chelsea wants to know why so many middle-aged women want him. They spy on Patrick and Billie.
Patrick and Billie talk. He tells her she has to return to Bo & Hope’s eventually (why?). More talk about her promising she’s not after Bo…yada…yada… She talks about wanting Bo to be a part of Georgia’s life without Hope mouthing off about it.
More Hope bashing…yada…yada… Patrick defends Hope. I can’t believe Billie…grrr… They talk about what’s fair and what isn’t. Billie thinks that its only fair that since Hope has had Bo for so long, that its her turn now(didn’t she just finish saying that she didn’t want him?). Patrick is telling her that life isn’t always fair and that Bo and Hope are together… Again Billie says that she’s not going to come between them (I think we’ve got that drilled inside our heads now…sigh). I don’t think he believes her…lol…
Billie makes a stupid pledge to never make a move on Bo. More Georgia talk...Billie hoping that Bo will spend time with her and Georgia as a family (no comment…grrr…). More Hope bashing… She says she won’t act on her feelings for Bo. Patrick doesn’t believe she’ll keep away from Bo. She says that he should start dating her so she can prove it (how lame). He wants to know if she just asked him out on a date. We get music…we get Patrick and Billie dancing and laughing on the pier…we get Abby and Chelsea lurking in the background. What we get and don’t want is Bo’s face transposed onto Patrick’s body…grrr… Abby tells Chelsea that Patrick and Billie seem to be getting closer. Chelsea wants Abby to help her get rid of Billie. She thinks Billie is very old and flashes back to Patrick kissing her. Patrick invites Billie to the “Swing into Spring Dance and she says yes. Abby tells Chelsea that she is totally hallucinating her relationship with Patrick.
John & Marlena’s Penthouse/Castle: John/Kate and Tony/Bart
Technical problems result in everybody losing Philip’s live feed. Kate is beside herself and begging John to find him. John thinks someone blocked the codes on purpose.
Tony is amused and says it’s the end for Philip.
When the feed comes back (see Rex below), John is worried that it might be dangerous and that Philip could pay for it. He asks her if that is what she wants. She can’t decide but finally goes on about how Philip is a proud marine and would want them to go ahead. John is wearing his Martian headset and requests and update from the mission leader.
Bart thinks it’s too quiet and wonders if there might be a sneak attack coming. He goes for helmets and flack vests and cautions Tony about smart bombs being dropped. They watch the rescuers entering and there is some shooting. Bart gets down on his knees and prays for his mommy. Tony smugly says that it’s just from a movie he put on the feed and didn’t actually happen. He just wanted the people back in Salem to see the surprise ending so that they will send in their own rescue team. He says one of them will decide to play hero and it will be a fatal mistake.
John tells Kate that is was a trick and Philip wasn’t even there. He hugs her and apologizes for not being more helpful. He doesn’t look very well….drugs losing their potency.
Philip is in a new place that looks exactly like the old one.
Shawn’s Loft
I won’t comment on the video. Belle is crying in Shawn’s arms and saying that she can’t lose Philip. Rex tries to get the feed again as Bo and Hope hug each other. Rex says he’s picking up some chatter. Hope says that she knows our soldiers face danger every day but she is upset that this is happening to someone they care about. Bo feels useless and worries that Shawn and Belle could be torn apart by what is happening.
Belle is repeating what Philip said about being faithful. She’s upset because the whole world heard him say it to her. Shawn tries to comfort her. SuperRex finds a way into the rescue mission’s live feed so that those at the loft and penthouse can watch again.
They watch the “supposed” rescue and realize that it was a fake. Shawn tells his dad that he will go and rescue Philip himself.
Previews:
Jan tells Mimi that she didn’t reveal her secret, and even if she did, what could Mimi do? Mimi punches her in the face.
Nicole tells Brady that since she is acting CEO, she is ordering him to get naked. They kiss.
Hope tells Shawn that he can’t do this…it’s insane. Belle agrees and says that if he goes after Philip he’ll be killed.

Janice's Spoilers
At the docks: Mimi, Jan
Mimi flashes back to her meeting with Stan. She wants to know who he is and how he found out her secret. She sees Jan and realizes that she is the only one who could have told him. She goes over and slaps her face. Jan yells at her. Mimi yells back that she thinks Jan told about her abortion. Jan says she didn’t and they continue to rant at each other. Mimi hits her in the face and they fall into the water. They drag themselves out and Jan whines that her expensive coat is ruined and still says she didn’t tell anyone Mimi’s secret.
Mimi threatens to tell Shawn about the cage. Jan whines some more about not having anything, losing her baby, and losing Shawn. She is determined that she won’t lose him again. Jan starts using the same phrases as Stan and Mimi has a flashback and is sure now that she told him. Jan wants to leave but throws out the fact that Mimi is still lying to Rex and she should be more concerned that that guy might be telling Rex the truth. Mimi’s cell phone rings and its Rex. She says she’ll be home soon.
Motel: Sami/Stan
Sami/Stan is angry with Mimi for what she said about her to Lucas. We see more flashbacks of the Sami/Stan transformation (sigh). She/he says that Mimi is going down tonight (yes it’s the same night) and then Nicole. Sami/Stan conjectures about where Nancy and Chloe are. She remembers Nancy telling her about a concert and calls St. Luke’s to find out if they are there.
Sami/Stan looks at a marked up picture of Nicole and says that her life is about to end. First though, she/he needs to drop by the penthouse and make a delivery to John. She picks up the bag of drugs and phones him to meet her at the pier.
Clinic: Chloe, Nancy
Chloe has a dream about Brady. They are in bed making love. He tells her that he has missed her so much. She wakes up and walks over to his framed picture. She says that it won't be much longer. Nancy walks in with a newspaper and shows her an article about Nicole and Brady. Chloe is in denial but Nancy thinks that she has probably lost Brady for good. Chloe gets upset…more about why she can’t call him…that she has to tell him in person. Nancy thinks this means that Chloe is going to finally do it. She gets her daughter's things but Chloe looks in the mirror and starts screaming she’s not ready. Nancy tries to convince her but she still says no, so Nancy decides to tell him herself and leaves. Chloe tries to phone Nancy but her mother won’t answer.
Victor’s House: Nicole, Brady
Nicole takes off her robe in front of Brady and is naked underneath. He is trying to catch up on work. He gives her some fat files full of papers to work on and goes out. He comes back and she throws her robe at him and herself and kisses him…etc…she wants him to get naked.
Next we see both of them naked and he’s praising her. We see them again after they make love. He compares her to Chloe and says that nothing will come between them. The doorbell rings and he mentions ordering a pizza and goes to the door. Nancy is there and says she has some important news to tell him about Chloe.
Shawn’s Loft: Shawn, Belle, Bo, Hope
Hope is telling Belle that Philip will get home safely. She says that he is strong and resourceful and she should have faith. Belle remembers how tired Philip looked in the video. Bo is trying to talk Shawn out of going after him. Shawn worries that she is falling apart. Bo says he should just be there for her.
Shawn thinks that with Rex’s ability, he will have a special weapon. Bo tells him that even if they can find out Philip’s location, they don’t have the skills or training to rescue him when the ISA and Marines couldn’t. Shawn thinks that Rex can hack into the enemy’s computer for a location. Bo continues to try and make him see reason. Shawn says he is like his father. Hope talks to Belle about being married to a police officer and comparing it to how Belle is feeling right now. She talks about Belle having children. Belle says she doesn’t plan on having children until she has finished her education (foreshadowing?) and is in a secure marriage.
Hope and Belle try to talk Shawn out of going after Philip. He eventually agrees with them but its just lip service. Hope tells Bo that she doesn’t believe Shawn and that he is just like his father. She thinks he will go anyway and makes Bo promise that he will stop Shawn instead of running off with Billie again.
John & Marlena’s Penthouse: John, Kate
John is exercising with weights. She’s worried that he might overdo it. He blames himself for the mission failing and promises Kate he will find her son. (I won't mention some of their conversation...very suggestive. Kate goes to take a shower and he starts looking for any drugs that were left around the place. When Kate returns, she sees empty vials and gets upset but believes him when he tells her he was just throwing them out. Kate leaves to dry her hair and John gets a call from Sami/Stan. He says he isn’t interested but she/he tells him it will help his pain and that she/he will be at the usual spot.

Pat’s Spoilers
Good things about today’s show. I loved seeing Craig and of course Nancy again – in fact I didn’t mind the scenes at the Kiriakis mansion at all even hot to trot Nicole didn’t get under my skin. I like Eric Winter but I hate the storyline he’s involved in. And bonus – no Shawn and Belle – Woo Hoo!!!!!!! I can handle all they can show of Shawn except when he’s with Belle…sigh.
This report will be short – don’t have a lot to say.
Pier: Stami is waiting for John when a bride and groom show up on the pier. Stami hides and listens to them talk and cries. Flashbacks of Sami and Lucas. Stami is upset and says that could have been her and Lucas but he ended up abandoning her like everyone else in her life. They are all going to pay. John approaches from the other side of the dock and makes like an ISA agent. He speaks into his little tape recorder and describes the ‘suspect.’ John senses something familiar about the person. Stan gets a text message and of course talks to himself so that John can overhear what the message is and what the reply is. John grabs him and asks him who he is working for. John figures out that it has to be someone who knows about his accident and his addiction. Stan tells John he doesn’t know who he is working for. John wants to know what he gets out of it. Stan says he is performing a service to the community. John says he is placing him under arrest. Stan knows he won’t do it because at the top of his buyers list will be John’s name. John protests that he didn’t buy any drugs. Stan says they will do a drug test and they will find drugs in your system. Stan says it’s time for your fix and gets a syringe ready. John grabs his hand before Stan can plunge it in his thigh. They struggle and John says you’re not even a man. In the struggle Stan tells John he is going to make him pay – but John can’t figure out why. Stan ‘knees’ John and sticks the needle in his thigh and says I’m more of a man than you are. Enjoy your fix. Stan than text messages the ‘boss’ and tells himself it’s time to have fun now. John releases the drug into his body.
Rex/Mimi: Prepare yourself – you get an entire half of the show where you will see Mimi ‘talking’ to her conscience who is staring back at her from the inside of the fire box where the hose and extinguisher are. We here the same old argument again. Mimi’s conscience convinces her to tell Rex the truth but he loves her. She doesn’t know how he will react but it’s very possible he will understand. Rex is sitting in the dark waiting for her. She finally shows up. He turns on the lights and then releases a bunch of confetti. (He got all the stuff from a Chinese restaurant that was closing for the night). He planned a special surprise so they could celebrate their anniversary. Mimi wants to tell him the truth. She says she doesn’t deserve him. Rex tells her he loves her and wants to spend the rest of his life with her – the celebration is because she’s been feeling so down since finding out she couldn’t have children. He asks her what she wants to tell him – she says you go first. He serenades her with a classic Sonny and Cher tune – I Got You Babe. He then carves their initials in the door – now that really upset me but I’m not going into it now. Mimi still tries to tell him but Rex tells her he knows she is feeling guilty about something from the way she is acting but knowing her it’s nothing serious so he wants her to forget about it. He doesn’t want anything to ruin their special evening. They kiss and end up making love on the lounge chair.
Clinic: Chloe tries to call Nancy but when Nancy sees her number on the Caller ID she doesn’t answer. Chloe is upset and tries to figure out what to do. She then decides to call the one person Nancy will listen to. Chloe decides to head out to the mansion to see if she can get to Nancy.
Kiriakis Mansion: Brady is talking to Nancy when Nicole prances to the door covering herself with a couple of throw cushions. (She thinks it’s the pizza deliveryman). Nancy is not exactly pleased to see the state of undress the two of them are in. Nicole excuses herself and says she’ll go and get some clothes on. Brady invites Nancy in when she tells him she wants to talk about Chloe. They just get started when Nancy’s phone rings. It’s Craig. Brady excuses himself to go get dressed. Craig tells Nancy that Chloe called him and she is very upset. Brady catches Nicole trying to listen in on the conversation and pulls her away and shuts the door. Nicole is upset with Nancy for showing up and ruining their romantic evening. Brady says Nancy is always welcome there. He feels very close to her and she was almost his mother-in-law. (Not exactly what Nicole wants to hear). Chloe gets to the mansion and stands outside the conveniently opened terrace doors – some Brady/Chloe flashbacks. She can’t exactly tell from Nancy’s conversation with Craig if Nancy has actually told Brady anything as yet. Craig tells Nancy she has to let Chloe tell Brady in her own good time – of course Nancy knows better. They go back and forth until Craig gets paged – his parting words are that she better think about this because Chloe may never forgive her.
Brady is about to go in and talk to Nancy when he gets a call from the Japan office and runs up the stairs to get them ‘some figures’. Nicole goes in and Nancy makes a comment about her getting dressed. Nicole wants to know why she is there. Nancy says she came there to talk to Brady. Nicole tells Nancy to leave Brady alone so that he can get on with his life. Nancy says – with you? They go back and forth and the tempers flare. Nicole finally says Chloe is dead and gone and Nancy blurts out that Chloe is alive just as Brady returns. He asks her what she said. Before Nancy can explain Brady says that he can smell Chloe’s perfume but that can’t be possible. Nancy says no, it’s probably the night jasmine as she signals for Chloe to move away from the window. She wants to talk to Brady alone. She tells him she planned a memorial service for Chloe for tomorrow and wants him to be there. He asks where and when – she tells him she’ll call him in the morning with the details. He walks her out. While he’s outside with Nancy, Nicole gets a call from Stan. Of course Nicole hasn’t got a clue who is calling her or why. Stan makes remarks about relationship with Brady. Nicole says the only person that can come between Brady and I is dead. Stan says you never know the dead may walk and then hangs up. Nicole is shaken but heeds Stan’s warning and doesn’t tell Brady about the call. Nancy and Chloe meet up outside. Chloe’s phone rings. It’s Stan – he welcomes Chloe back to Salem and then hangs up.
Previews: Hope (standing next to Bo) to Shawn and Belle (blech.) What’s bigger than two pledging to spend the rest of their lives together – to love each other forever? The most important commitment they’ll ever make. (Hmmm….Mrs. K. should answer that – she’s already made that pledge to Philip – kind of throws the important commitment theory right out the window, doesn’t it?) Mimi to Rex – You gave me a night I’ll never forget. Rex – Okay then Mimi, why do you still look so sad. What’s wrong? Bonnie to Patrick – If you can’t snag a Horton you could do a lot worse than end up with Billie. So I say go for it. Abby to Chelsea – They said if Billie did something like that again she could lose her job and be arrested. Chelsea – Really?

Pat’s Spoilers
What I liked about today – I really enjoyed the Billie/Patrick scenes – the flirtatious ones. The stuff with everyone else involved was not so great. I loved the Bo and Hope flashbacks to when they first saw the Fancy Face, bought her and sailed off into the sunset. I loved their closeness but I have to question how 2 police officers can make love in a boat that they broke into in. I loved the very short one on one scenes between Shawn and his parents as he hugged them goodbye. Hope made a comment that it was like having the old Shawn back and for those brief moments he was the Shawn I liked. The rest of the time he’s just annoying – looks damn good, but annoying all the same.
The loft: Mimi and Rex come back down from the rooftop and Rex asks her why she still doesn’t look happy even after she comments that he gave her a night she would never forget. She uses Philip being captured as her excuse. Inside the apartment Mommy 2 is lecturing Shawn and making him promise not to go after Phil. Then Hope steps in and says the same thing. Bo tells both mommies to back off – it couldn’t hurt to have Shawn and Rex go on the internet and try and find any news. Hope is shocked and starts talking about Shawn until Shawn says – I’m right here – LOL! Rex and Mimi come in. Hope overhears Mimi telling Belle about the little celebration of their engagement that Rex planned. Hope’s talk about commitment was actually directly to Rex and Mimi not Belle and Shawn but of course in the preview they didn’t even show Rex and Mimi. Belle decides they should throw a party. Mimi doesn’t want one. Hope insists. Hope and Bo leave. Belle drags the attention away from Mimi to herself so Shawn can feel sorry for her. She whines about Phil and he makes promises that can’t be kept. They then decide to go out – so much for dear old Phil.
Pier: I’m not going to go into the Billie/Patrick stuff – I enjoyed it – it’s basically light flirtation. What I hated is that we had to endure all of Chelsea’s asinine dialogue. She calls Billie a slut on more than one occasion. She keeps referring to Patrick as her man. Than she gets upset with Abby because Abby doesn’t seem to care that Billie is stealing Patrick away from her. Abby tells her Billie isn’t stealing him because he’s not Chelsea’s man – she doesn’t care who he is with as long as it isn’t her Mom. They follow Billie and Patrick to Alice’s.
Bo and Hope come along and they see the posters for the Swing into Spring dance. Hope asks Bo to go with her to the dance. They have some cute scenes together. They sit on the bench. They talk about Shawn and about Rex and Mimi. Hope mentions Billie and Bo asks if she wants to get in a fight. She says no – they agree not to talk about her anymore. They continue their walk and end up aboard a boat that looks remarkably like the Fancy Face. They reminisce. Hope says they should buy the boat. (It is up for sale). Bo says the same thing crossed his mind but they have Zack’s college fund to think of and other things. He tells her that they don’t need a boat to remind them of their love. He tells her that he has his priorities – Georgia is his daughter and he has to find her but Hope and the boys will always come first with him. Hope says she knows that – he proved it tonight. (No comment). They kiss and he starts taking off his shirt – she tries to stop him – worried that they will get caught but Bo tells her if they do he’ll just flash his badge and say they saw something suspicious. He tells her it’s the perfect place to ‘make out.’ – LOL!
Alice’s: Abby doesn’t want to go inside because only the bar is open and they are underage. Chelsea says they have their fake ID’s and then she tells Abby she has to do something with her hair and makeup. I’m sorry but Chelsea looks ‘hard’ when she comes in – I see no purpose for her character at all and I don’t care if she does turn out to be Georgia - she is a total waste of air time. She even gets worked up when she sees another older woman with Patrick – Abby says that is his mother. Billie goes to powder her nose and Bonnie starts in on Patrick and wants to know what he is doing out with Billie, an ISA agent no less who could put him away for 20 years. She starts in on how he should be moving in on Jen. Patrick tries to tell her that he is interested in Jen romantically besides Jen is mourning her husband. Bonnie tells him that’s the best time to move in on her – when she’s vulnerable. She starts trashing Billie until she remembers she is Kate Roberts’ daughter and Kate is loaded and that Billie owns Countess Wilhelmina cosmetics so she tells him if he can’t snag a Horton, Billie will do. She gives him her blessing. Billie hears her name. Bonnie says they were talking about her missing daughter and then she hugs Billie and just keeps putting her foot in her mouth. Patrick finally gets her to let up and says they came to relax and dance. Bonnie offers to bring them a beer but Billie orders cranberry juice and Patrick club soda.
Rex, Mimi, Belle and Shawn show up. Belle tells Bonnie they are thinking of throwing an engagement party for Mimi. Mimi doesn’t want one. Shawn sees Patrick and Billie together and wonders what they are doing together but doesn’t really care as long as it’s anyone but his Dad. Patrick goes to talk to Mimi. Shawn and Belle approach Billie. Billie wants to know what they are doing there together. Shawn tells her it’s none of her business – he asks why she is there with Patrick. They get confrontational and Shawn’s mommy 2 starts chastising him – now I know why they dressed her in that matronly outfit. Shawn tells Billie he doesn’t care who she is with as long as she isn’t with his father. Billie says you think like your mother and she gives Shawn the I don’t want to break up their marriage speech – I just want to find my daughter, your sister. Shawn says yeah and then you want to be a family with my Dad. Billie says that would happen in a perfect world but that’s not what she is after. Shawn goes to talk to Rex. Billie tells Belle that Philip doesn’t deserve this. Patrick returns to Billie. Chelsea wonders why Billie is only having a juice. Abby tells her about Billie’s problem and what happened after they saw her drinking that night at the Cheating Heart – Billie was arrested and if she does something like that again she could lose her job and be arrested. Chelsea grabs the vodka and pours it into the juice. Bonnie says what are you doing? Billie and Patrick dance. Belle and Mimi talk – but because I can’t handle listen to Belle whine on a continuous basis I tuned it out. Shawn talks to Rex and finds out how Rex hacked into the website. He thinks to himself that now that he got the information from Rex he’ll find out where Phil is and go and rescue him and then he and Belle could finally be together. (I think we need to put out an APB for the Salem Brain – Shawn is in dire need of one… it doesn’t matter if he rescues Phil – Belle is always, always going to put Phil first and Shawn will always be nothing more than an afterthought – Sheesh – to think his character used to have pride, dignity, stength – now he’s… I’m not even going to say it – it’s just sad).
Previews: Hope to Bo – I think you don’t want Patrick any closer to Billie for one simple reason. You’re jealous. Billie to Patrick – All I want to do is kiss you and not stop. Jan to Mimi – You wouldn’t dare do anything to me – the fight is on! Shawn to Rex – I have to save Philip because I can not live without Belle – sigh, Shawn is now the most pathetic immature 21 year old boy on the face of the planet. What a sick storyline. Kate to her daughter in law – You selfish little bitch (and then she slaps her). Kate certainly has Belle pegged but it does take one to know one. John – Kate, what are you doing?
***************************************
Thursday Apr 7
Pat’s Spoilers
I really have to reach tonight to find something good to say about the show. Bo and Hope’s very first scene was good for the first few moments and then it degenerated into another non-stop discussion about Billie. Hope was really cute and playful when they arrived home but that only lasted a few seconds. I finally saw chemistry between another couple besides Bo and Hope – Billie and Patrick’s kiss was chemistry laden – the stuff when they got into bed was a little too much though but man that man can kiss….(With apologies to Miss Janice…LOL!) I also enjoyed Kate telling Belle a few home truths about herself – Kate should know – she’s a world class b**** in her own right.
Alice’s – Inside: I have nothing to say about the conversations between Shawn and Rex and Mimi and Belle…Shawn’s an idiot, Belle’s a whiner when she is not busy trying to tell Mimi how to live her life (life expert that one is alright…can you see me rolling my eyes). Mimi decides she will not tell Rex about the abortion because she will not be responsible for ruining his happiness – duh???? Don’t even get me started on that reasoning. Belle decides to go and check up on her father and thank him for trying to rescue Philip. Nobody stops her – must be mass dumbness… Brilliant move – go tell an ISA agent that someone you know hacked into a secure government web site – I’m sure he’s going to say, ‘wow, good job – NOT.’ Mimi lies to Rex when she sees Jan and Stan together and tells him she changed her mind and she is going to stay and plan their engagement party with her Mom.
Bonnie asks Abby and Chelsea what they are doing at the bar. She is going to call Jen. Chelsea says they’re at the bar to see Patrick. Patrick and Billie dance but she sees Bo instead. She tells him she is thirsty. Bonnie sends over their drinks. Bonnie tells Abby and Chelsea to wait right there until she gets back. Billie notices the two girls and Patrick goes to talk to them and Billie follows. Patrick offers to take them home. Chelsea is happy and tells him he can drop off Abby first. Bonnie steps in between them and tells Patrick that she’ll take the girls home on her next break, he should continue to enjoy himself. Billie says she’s going to put some money in the jukebox and they can slow dance. Patrick talks to Bonnie privately and asks her what she put in Billie’s drink. He says she’s been to rehab and she can’t have alcohol. Bonnie says she only poured juice. Patrick says whatever is in the drink is really making her relaxed. Bonnie says it’s because she is having a good time with him. They share a very sexy dance and one thing leads to another and they kiss. Chelsea is steamed and adds more alcohol to Billie’s glass and tells Abby she is going to call the cops and make sure Billie is arrested. Billie tells Patrick they need to go someplace a little more private where they can dance without the confines of their clothes. They leave kissing their way out the door. Chelsea tells Abby that if Billie spends the night with Patrick it will be her last. Can they please just get rid of this obnoxious girl now…sigh!
Outside: Jan shows up muttering to herself that she has to get Shawn back. Stan approaches and says if she partners up with him she will get everything she wants. The only thing of interest is that we learn that Sami did hear the part about Jan keeping Shawn in a cage all summer and yet she is still willing to help Jan get Shawn. I’m so disappointed in what the Sami’s revenge storyline has become. Sami is more evil now than she ever was. The entire focus of this should have been on proving Kate set her up and then taking her revenge on Kate by exposing her to everyone – but it’s become a farce like everything else on Days. Suffice it to say that Stan lets Jan know that he knows all her secrets so either she teams up with him or she loses everything. He takes off when Mimi comes out the door – doesn’t go very far – hides behind some bushes so he/she can listen and watch. Jan threatens Mimi – Mimi tells her no more. Jan raises her hand and Mimi flinches, causes Jan laughs at her. Mimi gets very angry and they argue – the fight is on. Jan is choking Mimi – Sami is laughing – enjoying the show. Mimi finally breaks free and crawls away to try and get her breath. Jan gets up to go after her and trips and falls and hits her head. Mimi tells her to wake up and then rolls her over and sees blood. Sami is very happy – the show ends up on her saying something about this being better than anything she could have planned.
The Loft: Rex goes to take a shower – Shawn hops on his computer. Rex comes back out looking for towels and catches Shawn. Shawn tells him he was looking for NBA scores – Rex sees that he was using his access codes. He confronts Shawn and says he still has this crazy idea of going to rescue Phil – it would be suicide. Then he brings up poor Belle – she’ll lose both Philip and him – sob, sob. Shawn doesn’t care if he dies trying – he has to bring Phil home because he can’t live without Belle is his life. Idiot!!
Penthouse: I’m not going into a lot that went on there. Kate is concerned that John is having a hard time with his withdrawal because his hands are shaking – cue the flashback…He says he’ll be fine because he has her and bringing Philip home to focus on. I can’t believe that those two are talking about ‘love’ already – so much for John’s great and undying love for Marlena. Belle shows up. I have to say I don’t enjoy any scene Belle is in at the best of times but how many days is she going to be in that fluorescent orange outfit – it’s awful hard on the eyes. I’m never going to be able to look at an orange Popsicle the same again…sigh. There goes my low-calorie summer day treat. John is very upset when he finds out Rex hacked into their servers and he lectures her about how all of them could have ended up in jail. Kate is upset because Shawn was there. Kate says what she has to say and ends it with saying that she bet Shawn was happy when the rescue failed. Belle says that is not true – in fact they had to talk him out of going to try and rescue Philip himself. Kate says he should go. There was a lot of conversation around this but there is one part that really stood out and is the main reason I don’t buy that Belle is in love with Shawn or was ever in love with him. She tells Kate and I’m paraphrasing – these aren’t the exact words – but it’s not the words that are important to me – it was the delivery of those words – I love Shawn so much. I can’t lose him too. My problem with those words – she says them in a complete monotone as if she was reading the daily serving vitamin content off of a cereal box. (Oh yeah, I could feel the love). Kate slaps her and calls her a bitch. John is shocked and confronts Kate.
The Boat: Bo says the boat is very similar to the Fancy Face. He asks Hope what she is thinking about. She says she thinking about the time she spent with him and Shawn on the boat. Bo is thinking of the same things. Hope says there are lots of memories but you have memories of the time you lived on the boat with Billie. Bo is upset that she brought up Billie again. Hope thinks that if Billie would just get involved with another man they wouldn’t have to worry about her so much. Of course Bo denies there is anything to worry about. Hope ends up mentioning Patrick and of course Bo is dead set against it. Hope says it’s because he’s jealous. Bo starts listing all the reasons why he doesn’t trust Patrick including that he worked for the DiMera’s and that he is responsible for Billie getting drunk and ending up in trouble. Hope is upset with him and says Billie needs to be held responsible for her own actions. She reminds Bo of how he holds Shawn responsible for getting on that motorcycle after drinking – she asks him if he has a double standard. He makes it about Georgia and what’s best for her besides he talked to Shawn and they worked things out. Hope is still worried that he might go off and try and find Philip. Bo says he knows that the ISA and the Marines failed – he won’t try anything and besides he can take care of himself. Hope says unlike Billie who is an ex-cop and a trained ISA agent – you have to follow her when she walks out of the house. Again it’s about finding Georgia – Bo thinks that Patrick is working to make sure they don’t. They go home.
Brady house: Billie takes Patrick there – he doesn’t know if his being there is such a good idea. Billie asks him about Jen because if he has feelings for Jen they shouldn’t be doing this. He says no they are friends, housemates – nothing more. She takes him upstairs and things get really hot and heavy – very quickly. Bo and Hope come home. Bo tells Hope they need to go up the stairs quietly so they don’t wake Billie – she’s had a long, hard day. They hear Billie and let us just say she isn’t exactly reading a bedtime story. Hope tries to stop Bo from barging in but he doesn’t and he opens the door and puts the light on… good thing (or bad I guess depending on how you look at it) Billie and Patrick were under the covers.
Previews: John to Belle – When are you going to admit how wrong Shawn Brady is for you- three guesses on what kind of look he gets in response. (Now I don’t agree with John only from the point of view that Belle is all wrong for Shawn – but if the end result is no Shawn and Belle I don’t care what he says). Shawn to Rex – Put yourself in his shoes. Would you want us to give up just because it’s too dangerous to try and save you? Stan to Mimi – You’re looking at murder 1 – death row. Hope to Bo – You’re over reaction tonight is all about the fact that you’re still not over Billie. Patrick to Billie – Did you bring me back here tonight because you really wanted to be with me or did you do it to make Bo jealous?

Janice’s Spoilers
Outside Alice’s: Mimi, Stan, Police, Jan
Repeat of scene where Jan falls and hits her head...Mimi is hysterical...Stan is lurking and calls 911 to report a murder.
Mimi is watching everything from the bushes and agonizing about what happened. The Salem Keystone Cops order Stan to come out with his hands up and ask him what he knows about Jan’s accident. He says that he noticed two women fighting. They find an acrylic nail and Stan mumbles to himself that he’s off the hook because he doesn’t have fancy nails.
One of the cops literally drags this poor old man over because he might have witnessed something. He tells them that his eyesight is bad at night. They tell Stan to stay put so they can take his statement after.
Stan goes up to where Mimi is hiding and starts berating her. She tries to tell him that it was an accident and that she will go into the restaurant and tell the police what happened if he wants. He tells her to go ahead and tell them how she fought with Jan...tell them about the blackmail. He reminds her of how she has ruined so many lives and that she should have told Belle about Shawn’s imprisonment. Stan says that Belle would never have married Philip if she had known the truth.
He reminds her about the missing fingernail and says that she will be arrested if Jan dies. He describes what will happen to her – Murder One – Death Row. He tells her she will lose Rex...she’ll be all alone in a cold dark cell and describes what will happen when she is given a lethal injection saying that she will want to die just so the pain will end. Mimi asks him how he knows so much about it. Stan flashes back to Sami in the death chamber. Mimi wants to know who he is.
Penthouse: Belle, John, Kate
Repeat of scene where Kate calls Belle a selfish little bitch and slaps her. John witnesses it and wants Kate to pack and leave. Belle says it’s her fault.
Belle explains about both her and Kate being upset about Philip and that she should have been more sensitive to Kate. She apologizes. Kate apologizes as well. Belle talks about Shawn and how he was going to rescue Philip. Kate says that she wanted him to go but that Belle didn’t want to risk his life.
John tells Belle that Shawn has made wrong decisions one after the other. He really blasts the young man, reminding her of what happened at the church and saying that it’s brainless for Shawn to go and save Philip. He sarcastically asks whether Shawn is planning to crash his motorcycle into the bunker. Belle is adamant that Shawn has promised her and his parents that he won’t go after Philip and she believes him. John asks her whether she can trust his words but she is sure that he telling the truth this time.
John says he can’t forgive Shawn for breaking her heart. Belle says that Shawn and she have been together for a long time and that they have had their ups and downs but that she has forgiven him.
Kate isn’t impressed and questions her about it. Belle gets sarcastic and says why not...she forgave her for slapping her. Kate is all melodramatic and offers to apologize again. She says that she is so very worried about Philip...he is still her baby...and she will probably never have another child (thank god!!!).
Belle is positive that Shawn won’t go. John tells her that he is Bo Brady’s kid and takes after him in the worst ways. Belle believes Shawn. John says he will go after Philip himself. Belle worries about his health. John gets noble and says he can handle it. He would do anything for his little girl. Belle leaves and we see John taking a hypodermic needle out of his pocket stopping when Kate says “Don’t!”
John thinks she is going to get mad about the needle, but Kate has a confession to make. She’s ashamed because she was tempted to let him take drugs just so he would be strong enough to save Philip. She says that she should never have contemplated that because he has his own kids who need him.
Belle is outside near the elevator. She says that she hopes Shawn is telling her the truth this time.
Shawn’s Loft: Shawn, Rex
Most of the show is spent with Shawn telling Rex why he should go after Phil and Rex telling Shawn why it’s a ludicrous idea. Shawn wants help accessing restricted databases. Rex thinks he’ll end up dead. He asks Shawn whether he wants Belle to mourn both him and Philip. Both pull out the emotions...past deeds...lack of experience, etc... Shawn admits that he’s not ISA, military, or a professional but he thinks he can go in as a tourist and no one will suspect anything because they are expecting an attack from professionals. He says he can be the element of surprise. Rex tries to tell him that he is going to a foreign country where he doesn’t even know the language.
Rex asks Shawn if he is trying to steal Philip’s wife. Shawn admits that he would do anything for Belle. Rex goes on a rant about how Philip also would do anything for his wife...and his country...blah...blah...blah... Rex says that Philip has all this experience and Shawn doesn’t. He thinks that Shawn could jeopardize Philip’s chances of escaping. Shawn finally convinces Rex to help him under one condition...that he tells him when they are going.
Hope’s House (it’s not Bo’s until he gets his brain back...sigh): Hope, Bo, Billie, Patrick
Repeat of scene where Billie and Patrick are kissing in her bedroom and falling on the bed. Bo and Hope come in and the house is all dark. Bo wants them to be quiet because Billie is sleeping. They hear very loud moans from upstairs and Hope says...tongue in cheek...that she guesses that Billie is still awake. Bo runs up with Hope trying to stop him and opens the door to Billie’s room. Both Billie and Patrick are naked under the quilt but the bed has collapsed. Hope makes a comment about the bed really getting a workout...lol... She tells them that they are both grownups and that its okay for them to be together. Bo says no it isn’t. Hope looks exasperated.
Bo is ranting about Patrick and accuses him of being on the Dimera payroll...of spiking Billie’s drink...etc...etc... Billie defends Patrick and says finally that it was her choice and she wanted to be with Patrick. Patrick suggests that maybe Bo should worry about his own wife. Bo tells him that what he and his wife do are none of Patrick’s business. Hope who is furious with Bo’s jealousy and interference by this time says to Bo “Exactly! Why don’t you mind your own business about Billie and Patrick then?”
Hope is very embarrassed and actually siding with Billie. Bo says Patrick is bad for Billie. Hope says “Why because he’s not you?” Bo is being really sarcastic with Hope. He’s fed up with her talking about Billie. He asks her why she is so damn upset and she tells him that she is scared. She thinks that Bo’s overreaction means that he is not over Billie.
Up in Billie’s room, she goes on and on about how humiliated she is. Patrick thinks that Bo is acting like he has two wives. He sides with Hope and says that she is jealous. Billie badmouths Hope again and says that Bo has told her that he will always be with Hope and that even when they find Georgia he won’t want to be with them. She finally realizes that Bo doesn’t want her to be happy with anyone else (seems quite happy about it).
Hope is angry about Bo’s “jealous husband” performance. Bo calls Patrick a Dimera flunky. She thinks he is determined to hate Patrick no matter what and reminds him that Billie has every right to find someone else. Hope reminds Bo that “he” is not available. Bo asks sarcastically how he could forget that. He whines that Hope threatened to leave him while he was looking for Georgia if he didn’t drop everything to go after his son... He thinks that she has big Billie issues. Hope reiterates that it isn’t Billie. She tells Bo that he is the problem. She tells him that he doesn’t want Billie with anyone else but him.
Patrick wonders if Billie is trying to make Bo jealous. She refutes that but we get a feedback from Alice’s where she sees Bo’s face transfixed on Patrick’s while they are dancing. Patrick is sceptical.
Hope asks Bo to hire someone else to help Billie find Georgia. Bo says she is his child and thinks Hope is obsessing about another woman. She turns the tables on him and thinks he is the one obsessing and is sure that Billie is enjoying the situation.
Previews:
Brady: “How am I going to say goodbye to the only woman I ever loved?” (not sure if it’s the exact phrase)
Nancy to Chloe: “Say goodbye to Brady because you are going to lose him.”
Shawn tells Belle about Jan kidnapping him and keeping him prisoner.
Tek asks Mimi to tell him about Jan’s accident.

Janice’s Spoilers
A New Day Finally!!!!
Chloe’s room: Chloe, Nancy
The show starts off with a black and white fantasy. Brady sees Chloe in a cloak and says: “I do know you...I loved you once.” We see him looking at her with love in his eyes. Chloe’s face is clear and beautiful. Nicole walks up and says: “How can you still love her?” She points to Chloe’s face. We now see a thick red scar going diagonally across Chloe’s face. Chloe covers her face and runs away (it was a beautiful dream-scene until then).
Chloe wakes up from her dream to find Nancy there. Nancy tells her that she has lots to do for her daughter’s memorial today. Chloe begs her to stop this nonsense but she won’t listen. Nancy wonders what happened to the strong fearless daughter she once knew. She tells her that this is her last chance to tell Brady that she is alive.
Nancy shows her the urn she has with her and asks her what she thinks of her final resting place. Chloe is upset but her mom says that if she doesn’t like what she is doing then to do something about it. She wants her to start living in the present again. Nancy throws out a dead plant and uses the dirt for Chloe’s ashes. She grabs a chicken bone and mixes it in (too funny!). Chloe just wants her to call off the stupid service. Nancy takes one of her CD’s and leaves. Chloe decides she has to follow her mother to the church.
Church: Brady, Nicole, Nancy, Chloe, Nun
Brady is inside the church lighting a candle for Chloe. He says that he always knew this day would come but it doesn’t make it any easier. He doesn’t know how he is supposed to say goodbye to the only woman he has ever loved. We see Nicole lurking in the background.
Nicole mumbles something about Nancy trying to poison Brady against her. Brady is surprised to see her and wants to know what she is doing there. He tells her that Nancy won’t like it and that it’s just for family. She tells him she is his family and she is there for him and wants to stay. He agrees and goes to talk to Father Jansen. Chloe blows out Chloe’s candle and says that finally she (Nicole) will get everything she deserves. A nun tells her that there is no memorial scheduled today for anyone but goes to check for sure. Nicole thinks Nancy lied because she is trying to come between her and Brady.
Outside the church, Chloe is trying to stop Nancy from going ahead with the service. She begs her not to do it and says that Nancy shouldn’t have talked to Brady in the first place. Nancy calls her stubborn and tells her to say goodbye to Brady because he’s just about to start his new life without her.
Inside the church, Brady comes back and Nicole tells him that there is no service. Brady says Father Jansen told him there was a mix-up. Nancy comes in and is upset that Nicole is there. She says that they will have to make do without a priest. Nicole reminds Nancy that she had a memorial for Chloe in Austria, that Brady had one already for her here, and that hopefully third time will be the charm...LMAO... Nancy gives the urn to Brady and goes out to put on the CD. She sees Chloe and wants to know what she is doing there, gives her the CD to put on, telling her to make herself useful. Nancy tells Chloe that at least Nicole is willing to fight for the man she loves which is more that she is willing to do.
Brady feels as if Chloe is really there. Chloe puts on the music (instrumental) and then the scene moves back to Brady in the chapel. He looks at the urn and says... “God, I’ve missed you. I would give anything to hold you in my arms, hear your voice, and see your face...” He kisses the urn and continues to say that her beauty and goodness are in heaven now and that he hopes to see her there one day but until then...goodbye. Nicole walks up to him and says that Chloe’s spirit is letting him go so he can be free to live his life again. She tells him that she will always be there for him. Nancy is lurking unhappily.
Brady kisses Nicole’s hand while Nancy whispers a little prayer for Brady and Chloe in the background. We see Chloe in the other room crying. Brady wants to know where the vocals are. Chloe is afraid that he will come and find her so she starts to sing (her voice is so lovely). Brady is startled and says that it’s not a recording but the real thing and rushes out.
Hospital: Lexie, Tek, Comatose Jan, Belle, Mimi
Lexie is taking a look at Jan and diagnoses a fractured skull. Tek comes in and she tells him that if Jan wakes up that she might end up in a vegetative state. Tek asks Lexie how Abe is doing. She admits that it’s very hard to watch what is happening to him. She asks him about the case. He tells her about an eyewitness seeing two women fighting and about finding the fingernail. He goes to take a DNA sample from Jan’s fingernails and Lexie asks about DNA from the clothing. Tek thinks she should come back to the Salme PD. She also suggests that he talk to people who knew Jan. When he asks why, she opens Jan’s mouth and shows him that there is no rupture...she didn’t scream so she must have known her attacker and not been afraid at first.
Lexie also suggests that he talk to Mimi and tells him what happened in high school... nude pictures of Chloe on internet. She tells him that they are still connected and about the weird living arrangements with the others. Her beeper goes off and she tells him that it was really good seeing him again. They hug (sorry to Abe and Lexie fans but I definitely saw chemistry between these two today).
Shawn’s Loft: Shawn, Belle, Rex, Mimi
More flashbacks to Mimi’s fight with Jan. Mimi is determined to get out of town fast and is packing a bag. She notices scratches on her arm. Belle walks in with breakfast and wants to know what Mimi is doing. Mimi makes an excuse and says that she is just packing away her winter clothes. Belle thinks it’s strange but lets it go. Mimi tells her that Shawn and Rex are working on the computer. In the other room, Shawn is still after Rex to go with him. He says he has to do it for Belle.
Belle sees something on the television and says oh my god. She asks Mimi to turn up the volume.
Rex wants Shawn to leave the rescuing to the Marines. Shawn tells him he has to go even if it costs him his life. He hears Belle yelling his name and both he and Rex rush out. They all gather around the television to hear the shocking news report about Jan’s attack. Mimi looks nervous and upset. We see a clip of Stan being interviewed and then the announcer asking the public for help with the Jan Spears case saying she may be near death. Mimi says oh my god she might die. Shawn, Belle, and Rex all comment on what kind of a monster could do something like that while Mimi squirms. She trips and spills hot coffee on Shawn. He starts having a flashback...a very long one with clips of his imprisonment in the cage, beginning with Jan spilling coffee on him...all the way to his crashing the motorcycle. It’s like a trip down a deep and scary abyss aka a trip down memory lane about what he did last summer...and his face looks pretty tortured as the camera flashes back and forth to see his reaction.
Belle is calling his name and asking if he is okay. He tells her that he remembers what happened to him...about being kidnapped and locked up in a big cage. Rex and Belle look shocked. Mimi just looks guilty. Mimi interrupts and tells them she knew about it. They want to know why she didn’t say anything and she does a tap dance about how she tried to tell them at Christmas but with the cage gone, no one would have believed her anyway. Rex says it doesn’t matter and wants to know how it all happened.
Shawn explains about the old woman at the church being a friend of his grandma’s....her phoning him about burglars...his being given tea. He also remembers that he never proposed to Jan and that he tried to escape. Belle is shocked and says that if she had only known the truth then they would still be together and she would never have married Philip. She says so this is really Jan’s fault and can’t understand how she could have believed her. She feels really bad. Shawn tells Belle that he knew he would never have walked away from her willingly. They both hug and say that they love each other.
Belle starts to feel bad for Jan and says that her mother would know that Jan was disturbed and needs help. She says that Jan hasn’t got anybody...no family...no friends and that she could be dying and all for nothing. She wants to go see her but Mimi is rolling her eyes and can’t believe she is serious. Shawn won’t go but Mimi finally agrees to go with her and they leave.
Rex can’t believe how generous Belle is being towards Jan after all she did to her. He’s impressed and says it’s unbelievable. Shawn says that she still cares about the people who hurt her most, and that he has to go find Philip for her. Rex tells him that they don’t have any money or power. A light bulb goes off over Shawn’s head and he calls him a genius. He tells Rex that they have to think outside the box and to go pack his bags because they are going after Philip.
Back at the hospital: Belle, Mimi, Nurse, Tek
A nurse tells Belle about Jan’s condition and also tells her how sorry she is about Philip. Mimi is staring into Jan’s room when Tek approaches her wanting to know what she can tell him about “Miss Spears.” Mimi spins around and looks at him.
Previews:
Nancy asks Brady if Chloe is the one true love of his life, then where does Nicole fit in?
Shawn tells Rex that nothing is going to stop him from rescuing Philip. Rex asks him if that includes Belle.

Rex tells him that what he is thinking of doing is illegal. Shawn agrees but says he has to do it.
Rex tells him he thinks he can get Philip’s location and that the terrain is very rugged and they would need some serious equipment to get the job done. He asks Shawn how he expects to keep his mission a secret from Belle. He thinks that even if Brady doesn’t say anything to her that John will find out and stop him. He tells Shawn that he can’t help him.

He tells Shawn he thinks it is a courageous thing he is doing even if he is ill-prepared. Shawn tells him that Belle is blaming herself for putting Philip in danger and that he can’t stand to see her torturing herself like this. He asks Rex whether he wouldn’t do the same for Mimi. Rex says he’s glad that Mimi would never put her life at risk like that. Later he tells Shawn that he didn’t mean to make it seem that it was all Belles’ fault. He tells him that he’s in and they shake hands on it.
The Church: Brady, Nancy, Nicole, Chloe
A repeat of the scene from yesterday where the vocals aren’t working and Chloe starts singing. Brady says that it’s not a recording and that it sounds as if it is being performed live. Nancy tries to convince him that Chloe is alive and in the church with them. Brady tells her that Chloe is only there in spirit but Nancy still tries to convince him.
Nicole goes into the other room to find out what’s going on and realizes it’s just the sound system playing up. Chloe hides in the background. Brady tells Nancy that it is just a glitch and that Chloe is dead. Nancy asks him if he loves Chloe then where does Nicole fit in. He tells her that he loves Nicole but not like he loved Chloe. Chloe was the true love of his life
Nancy starts the memorial service with Chloe lurking in the background. Brady gets up to talk. He says that Chloe taught him what love is and that he will never find that kind of love again. He says that like his mom, she will always be with him and that no one will ever replace her in his heart. Nicole looks as if her heart is breaking as she listens to all of this. Brady says he wants to do something special for Chloe. He has his mother’s wedding ring and says that he always intended to give it to Chloe on their wedding day. He wants to put it in the urn and give it to her when they meet up in heaven.
Nancy is upset. She doesn’t want him to look in the urn and tells him that it’s fragile and antique. She opens it and Brady asks Chloe to marry him. He drops the urn. Chloe leaves but Nicole runs into her and is shocked.
Hope’s House: Hope, Bo, Billie
Hope comes downstairs and looks at Bo sleeping on the couch. She has a flashback to when she is throwing the bedding at him and asking him to find someone else to look for Georgia. She gets angry just thinking of it and goes into the kitchen to bang around some pots...lol... Bo wakes up and walks in. Hope looks all surprised and says...Oh you’re awake... Bo tells her that’s quite the alarm clock she has going.
Bo tells Hope that it’s a new day and asks her if they could have a new beginning. Hope reminds tells him that he still has a thing for Billie. We see Billie listening in from the living room and smirking. Bo tells Hope that she is the woman he loves and that Billie is in the past. Hope asks him why he has a problem with her moving on. He says he doesn’t, he just wants it to be someone other than Lockhart...
Hope tells him that Billie needs to start growing up and she should move out. Bo thinks she is making breakfast for him but she says no and takes off for a run. Billie comes in and says good morning. Bo drops the eggs and milk on the floor. They both kneel down to clean up the mess and give each other a look...gag... Bo rags on Patrick...Billie defends Patrick. She tells him that she thinks Hope is right and that he’s not comfortable seeing her with any other man.
Billie makes pancakes for Bo and goes to give them to him but slips. She lands on his knees with her leg up in the air. Hope walks in and sees them and says: “Let me guess, another accident? Sorry for interrupting!” She slams the door and leaves.
Jack & Jennifer’s House: Jennifer, Patrick, Hope
Jennifer is in the kitchen when Patrick comes in, shirtless, on his way for a workout. She gasps when she sees scratches on his back and wants to know what happened. He has a flashback to making love to Billie and looks really uncomfortable. He makes an excuse that he was exercising against the garage. She offers to put something on them but he says no.
Patrick asks Jennifer if she has spoken to Abby this morning. She says no. He tells her about seeing Abby and Chelsea at Alice’s last night and Jennifer is upset. She says that Abby would always listen to Jack and that she needs him. Patrick tells her that she’s not alone and that he’s there to help her. Hope arrives and Patrick leaves. Jen explains to her about the scratches on his back coming from a workout. Hope grins and says: “Oh yeah, he worked out so hard that he and Billie broke the bed in the guestroom. Jennifer is shocked.
Outside, Patrick calls his contact and wants to know when he can expect delivery.
Hope thinks Jennifer is jealous. Jennifer denies it but says that she just got used to having him in her life. She thinks it’s a little weird. Hope also thinks that Jennifer really likes him and that Jack’s gone and she should move on. She thinks Patrick would be a fool to pick Billie over Jennifer and tells her that she can’t stay in mourning forever. Hope notices the time and leaves to go home.
Jennifer picks up Jack’s picture and tells him that she loves him so much but that maybe it is time to move on. She tells his picture that he will have to show her a sign that he would understand.
The Hospital: Belle, Mimi, Bonnie, Tek
Tek is asking Mimi questions. He tells her that Dr. Carver suggested it. We see her having a flashback to her last argument with Jan. Tek reminds her that they were roommates until recently and shows them a picture of the acrylic nail. Belle says it looks like Mimi’s nail. Mimi tap dances and says that she cut them off. Belle pursues it thinking it’s the same nail color as the one Mimi uses. Mimi makes an excuse saying that lots of people wear that color.
Tek mentions the DNA sample he took from under Jan’s nails. Mimi tries not to react. Bonnie turns up in a candy striper outfit and a bag of jellybeans. She overhears them talking and is glad that the bitch finally got what she deserved. She tells Mimi that this should make her day, while Belle and Tek look on curiously. Mimi tries to act shocked by what her mother said but Bonnie tells Tek all about how Jan tortured her daughter all the time they were growing up. She says if Mimi did it then it would be justifiable homicide. A nurse tells Tex that they need him in the lab and he leaves but asks Mimi to hang around because he has more questions. Belle moves away from them.
Bonnie explains that she is wearing the outfit in order to impress Mickey. She wants to add a few personalized touches to it. Mimi is freaking out and Bonnie realizes that she did it. Mimi tries to tell her it was an accident. Bonnie wishes she had come to her before this so the body could have been taken care of. She talks Mimi out of confessing to Tek.
The nurse tells Belle that she can see Jan. Bonnie leaves and then Belle comes back and tells Mimi that she remembers her wearing those nails last night. Mimi is gobbling down those jellybeans like there’s no tomorrow...lol... Mimi tells her that the nail was hers. Belle wants her to tell the truth. Mimi’s afraid if Jan wakes up that she’ll be in for more blackmail about the abortion and she’ll lose Rex for good. Belle tells her that she should tell Tek before Jan tells him her version.
Previews:

**************************************************
Wednesday Apr 13
Janice’s Spoilers
I have to say that today’s show was boring, repetitive, lets not forget the restructured history, and in parts pretty disgusting...so this write-up is short and not sweet...sigh...
Castle: Marlena, Roman
Marlena is sitting in a chair watching Roman sleep. She has a flashback to asking him to make love to her. The camera comes back to her looking very upset. She looks up to find Roman grinning like an idiot at her. He tells her that last night was very special and that they reconnected. She tells him that it was about a mutual need for comfort and looks pretty upset about the whole thing. He goes on to tell her how much it meant to him...blah...blah... She agrees but says it can’t happen again.
Roman doesn’t want her to feel guilty because he doesn’t. She tells him that they crossed a line and they are both married to other people. He wants to keep what happened a secret from John and Kate. Marlena is upset that he is suggesting that she lie. He just thinks they should say nothing. This goes on and on... There is a noise coming from the wall. Roman and Marlena think someone is digging and are excited about the possibility of finally being rescued.
Penthouse: John, Kate
John is sitting at the computer. Kate comes in and has a flashback of them making love...John telling her how amazing it was...etc. She brings in a breakfast tray and mentions about what happened last night. He cuts her off and tells her he is going to find Philip. They both start up their mutual admiration society...grrr... Kate is a superwoman. She has single-handedly kept Basic Black going and growing. He calls her over to look at something on the screen, telling her he’s got some new information on Philip and accidentally brings up a video of them and their spouses. He doesn’t realize it at first and tells her excitedly that Marlena and Roman are alive... it gets really stupid after that...
In the next scene he sees that it’s an old video of them celebrating Marlena being named physician of the year...complete with cake. Marlena looks beautiful. I never realized that the four of them were such bosom buddies...very contrived. John apologizes to Kate.
John says that the ISA has to approve his plan and then he can go after Phil. Kate starts ragging about Shawn as John looks back at the screen. He looks upset because something is wrong. The camera shows split screens now of John/Kate and Shawn/Rex with Rex hacking into the site.
Shawn’s loft: Shawn, Rex, Belle, Mimi
Shows Shawn and Rex shaking hands again. Belle and Mimi walk in and Shawn asks about Jan. Belle says that the girl is still unconscious. Shawn talks about how they all could be considered suspects so it’s a good thing they have alibis. Mimi is squirming (she’s getting really good at that). Rex says that this is serious and that Jan didn’t deserve what happened to her. Mimi says that it might have been an accident but they figure if that was the case then the person would have come forward. Shawn wonders whether Tek knows more than he is letting on.
Mimi changes the subject. She wants Belle to tell them about the new idea John has for rescuing Phil using less people. Shawn asks Rex to find out what it is. Belle doesn’t look like a happy camper. Rex finds it really difficult...double firewall. Belle wants Mimi to go to the police before Jan tells them what happened.
Church: Nancy, Chloe, Brady, Nicole
Repeat scene of Brady proposing to the urn and putting the ring in. Nancy goes on and on about what if Chloe were alive. What would Brady do then? Nicole is in the other room looking at Chloe as if she’s seen a ghost...lol... She can’t believe this is happening because Chloe is supposed to be dead.
Brady is getting a little irritated with Nancy and her questions but he tells her that he would want to be with Chloe. He goes on to say that she is dead and he needs to move on. Nancy tells him that he is breaking her heart and calls Nicole a liar, manipulator... etc... Brady defends Nicole. Nancy starts talking about beauty on the outside as opposed to beauty on the inside and asks him which he prefers. He says that Chloe had both and that Nicole does too. He tells Nancy that Nicole has been there for him and he is ready to make a commitment.
Chloe is kneeling beside Nicole who has fainted. She wonders if Nicole fainted because she is alive or because of how she now looks. Chloe decides she can’t leave until she knows if Nicole is okay. Nicole wakes up again and sees her and faints a second time.
Brady walks Nancy out and they see Nicole on the ground with a nun beside her. Brady rushes to her side all concerned. She tells him that she saw Chloe and he asks where she is. He runs in the direction she is pointing at. He sees a cloaked woman and yells for her to wait. It turns out not to be Chloe...of course...this is getting to be so repetitive.
Nancy finds Chloe in the church garden. Nicole can’t get Brady to believe her. He apologizes for hurting her before with the words he said during the memorial service. Nicole has a flashback of running into Chloe the first time. Brady says he’s ready to move on.
Chloe and Nancy are back in her hospital room...getting mad at each other. The doctor arrives and they talk about the surgery to remove her scars. He tells her about the problems that could occur and that it’s a very risky process. Chloe is determined to go ahead with it even though Nancy is worried.

Janice’s Spoilers
Castle: Marlena, Jack, Roman, Guards
Marlena and Roman are listening to the noise from within the wall and she wonders if someone is trying to rescue them. Roman says they can send a signal. He brings out a box and opens it. Marlena thinks he’s a genius.
The box turns out to have a conglomeration of bowls, utensils, etc. that Roman has scavenged during their captivity. Roman thinks the stuff will be good for digging from their end. They start scraping the wall. Marlena is excited that they might be free soon. Roman wishes he knew who was digging on the other side. We see some time lapse and the genius has managed to get a piece of the wall out by digging with a broken dish. Marlena looks inside and is shocked to see Jack.
Jack was hoping he was digging through an outside wall. They pull him through and he says it’s due to his Dimera deprivation diet...lol... Roman wants to get Cassie but Jack reminds them that they only have a small window of opportunity; especially if the guards find out he is missing. Jack says he would crawl home on broken legs if he had to because he’s worried that Patrick is making a move on Jennifer as they speak. He has a key and unlocks their leg chains.
Roman is arguing that he can’t leave his daughter. Jack thinks they should get out first and then let someone know that there are other captives. Marlena agrees. Roman goes all macho and says they must follow HIS plan and pray that he hasn’t forgotten the secret passages that were on the map Tony confiscated. Jack stands behind a door with a piece of the wall. Roman throws something on the floor and the guards yell to stand aside as they come in. Jack knocks out the first guard but is held at gunpoint by the second one. Marlena fakes feeling faint and they manage to knock out the second guard.
Devereaux Home: Jennifer, Hope
Jennifer comes into the living room carrying a heavy box of Jack’s things from the attic. She pulls out an aboriginal headdress from the top and flashes back to Jack wearing full aboriginal garb during a past Thanksgiving (really cute). Jennifer comes back to the present and says that she will never stop missing him.
The doorbell rings and a furious Hope comes in. She says that she will lose her mind if she spends one more minute in her house. Jennifer wants to know what Billie did this time. Hope explains how she found her sitting in Bo’s lap but of course it was an accident...Billie tripped. Jennifer wonders how Bo can be so dumb. Hope tells her that she wants Billie out of her house. She says what scares her is that the special bond that she and Bo have always had is in danger of being broken.
Hope and Jennifer are sitting on the couch eating ice cream. Jennifer mentions that Billie has always loved and wanted Bo. Hope thinks Billie has an addictive personality and no self control. She says that the longer she stays, the worse it will get. Jennifer suggests that Hope install a nanny cam...lol... Hope says that Billie is not the only problem. She thinks that Bo is afraid of hurting Billie so he hurts her instead and that she will be the bad guy if she makes him choose. She can’t understand why Bo is being so dense. They hug.
Hope notices the boxes and Jennifer explains about making room for Jack Junior’s things so she has to move Jack’s stuff. Hope feels bad for not thinking of Jennifer’s feelings. Jennifer wants Hope to fight. Hope tells her that she is going to draw a line in the sand and leaves to go home.
Jennifer wishes that Jack was there so she could show him how much she loves him. She looks at the Father’s Day cards from Abby that were saved as well as some news clippings of Jack’s articles. She says that Jack changed so many people’s lives with his writings and that he still inspires her so much. She looks up and a strange look comes on her face as she whispers...you’re not gone...you’re alive aren’t you... Next we see Jennifer lying on the couch with Jack’s picture in her hands. She says that all she has are photos of the past but she can feel him through Abby and Jack Jr. She also asks him that if he can fit it in, to keep an eye on Bo and Hope and not to let Billie come between them.
Brady Home: Bo, Billie, Hope
Billie apologizes to Bo about what happened and says that it was a mistake for her to be there. Bo is worried about Hope. He says that there is no way he will let them break up. Billie whines. Bo tells her that Hope is just stressed right now. He phone’s Hope’s cell phone but it’s turned off so he leaves a message. He phone’s Jennifer but Hope doesn’t want him to know she is there. Bo tells Jennifer that they had another misunderstanding and that if she sees Hope to tell her that he’ll do whatever it takes to fix this.
Bo tells Billie that he never meant to hurt Hope. He says he doesn’t want to lose his marriage or his wife and that she is his greatest love...that the boys and Hope are everything to him...they are his life and his world. He tells Billie that she has to move out.
Billie starts with the waterworks and tells Bo that she wants him to be happy with Hope. She says that she already arranged to stay at Sami’s old apartment and that Mickey has petitioned the judge to let Lucas vouch for her. She goes into a pity me routine and gives Bo a thanks for everything hug. Of course Hope comes in on them hugging and tells Billie that either she has two left feet the way she keeps falling into Bo’s arms, or she is after her husband.
Bo tells Hope not to blow up over nothing. He tells her that Billie was just thanking him and saying goodbye because he asked her to move out. Billie gets all sanctimonious and tells Hope that she is sorry for making her home life so rough. She leaves. Bo asks Hope if he is forgiven and she says yes of course. He tells her that he considers himself the luckiest man in the world because she married him. Hope tells him she was so scared because she thought Billie would take him away from her. Bo tells her it would never happen. We see Billie outside and she says that the door is now shut for good. Back inside, Bo and Hope are passionately kissing.

At the loft, Shawn is impatient for Rex to get the information they need. Rex tells them they may have a major problem.
At the penthouse, Super Soldier John is looking at the computer screen and sees something that makes him see red. Belle comes in and tells them about Jan. John asks whether the attacker couldn’t be identified and immediately accuses Shawn. He keeps ragging on Shawn and Belle gets angry and defends him. She tells him that Jan was the reason they broke up so that she could just as easily be a suspect as well. She also tells John that the police think that the attacker is a woman.
John gets all sarcastic and says that they also thought the serial killer was Marlena. Belle is shocked and asks him if he is comparing Shawn to Tony Dimera. She tells him that Shawn was with her at Alice’s and then went back to the loft with Rex so he couldn’t have done it. John continues ragging on Shawn. Belle continues defending Shawn.
At the loft, while John is otherwise occupied, Rex and Shawn are hacking through and starting to download the plan.

Back at the loft Rex tells Shawn that all the classified intelligence has now been downloaded. Shawn is happy and tells him to get out of there before John finds out. He compliments Rex on his excellent work.
At the penthouse, John is positive that no one can hack into his computer. He tells Belle that he will bring her husband home. Kate murmurs to herself that Shawn may already be on his way.
Back again at the loft, Shawn thinks John’s rescue plan is perfect. Rex thinks it will take a lot of money and reminds Shawn that Brady hates him for hurting his sister. Shawn says he might not know much about computers, but he does know people.
The Hospital: Bonnie, Nurse, Mimi, Jan
A nurse compliments Bonnie on her candy stripe outfit. Bonnie thinks the stripes are very slimming. She sees Mimi in Jan’s room and rushes in. Bonnie tells her daughter to get out before Jan wakes up and fingers her for attempted murder. Mimi tells her that she has decided to confess.
Bonnie tries to change her mind but Mimi says she is guilty and is trying to do the right thing. Most of the show is about them going back and forth on this. Bonnie tells her she can kiss being Mrs. Rex Brady goodbye. She looks over at Jan and says good riddance to bad rubbish. Mimi has yet another flashback to her fight with Jan. She goes on to Bonnie about how she hated Jan and wanted her dead...about the blackmail...yada... yada... She turns to Jan and sees that her eyes are open.
The nurse comes in to check on Jan and says that she’s still comatose. She says that Jan’s eyes may open from time to time but its just reflex. The nurse leaves and Mimi tells Bonnie that there was also a witness to the crime.

Most of the rest of the show has them arguing about the controversial procedure. Chloe says that Nicole is going to hurt Brady and that she’s the only one who can stop her.
Nancy comes back in with Chloe’s release papers. She doesn’t want Chloe to sign them and reads her a paragraph that says she will be doing this against the attending physician’s recommendations and will assume all risk... including permanent disfigurement or even death. Chloe goes ahead and signs it anyway and takes it to the nurse.
Nancy prays that the surgery will be successful. She tells Chloe that she only wants the best for her. They both go and say goodnight to Clara. A door opens and Nicole steps out (see below). She can’t believe that Chloe is alive and is upset because she thinks Chloe will take Brady away from her.

He asks Brady for an advance on his inheritance from Grandpa Victor for a project he and Rex are working on.

Brady asks what the rush is and tells him that if he wants his help then he has to tell him what is going on. Rex and Shawn look at each other.
Shawn tells Brady that they want to rescue Philip (god only knows why!) and bring him home. Brady laughs and asks them how they plan to do it. Shawn says they have a good plan but Brady wonders if they have lost their minds. He reminds them that Philip is a prisoner of war and that they should leave the rescuing to his dad and the ISA. Shawn reminds him that they tried and failed and that John is in no condition to pull it off. He tells Brady that if he doesn’t want to do it for Philip then to do it for his sister. Brady tells them that he is going to go check on his father and to wait for him. Shawn warns him not to tell John about his plan.

John promises he will find Philip. He goes to check the computer to see if the ISA has approved his rescue plan. Kate as a backflash about telling herself that Shawn might already be on his way to save Phil. She comes back to the present and tells John she has something to tell him.
Brady comes in on them hugging. John finds out that the ISA won’t approve the mission because it’s too dangerous. Kate asks about her son. He tells her he’ll do it himself. Both Brady and Kate tell him he is in no condition to do this. John’s back locks up and he goes to take a shower. Kate tells Brady that John tries so hard but now that the ISA has thrown up their hands, what will happen? Brady tells her not to give up and that he appreciates her looking after John. He leaves.
Kate tells herself that she can’t believe she is saying this but Shawn Brady may be Philip’s only hope. John tells Kate he wants her to move in permanently and she agrees.
Outside near the elevator, Brady tells himself that there is no way he is going to let Shawn mess this one up and that he knows what he has to do.

Janice’s Spoilers
Victor’s Mansion: Nicole, Stan – Outside; Brady, Shawn, Rex, and later Nicole - Inside
Nicole is standing outside the mansion. We get a flashback of her seeing Chloe alive from yesterday. She’s upset about Chloe returning and wanting to take Brady away from her just when things were going her way.
Nicole has a fantasy where she goes inside and watches Brady talking on the phone. She asks him if things are okay and he tells her that they are better than okay because Chloe is alive. He tells her excitedly that she did see Chloe at St. Luke’s. They talk about Chloe’s scars and he says that he doesn’t care about them because she is beautiful inside. Nicole wants to know what it means for them and he apologizes but tells her that his heart belongs to Chloe and that he is going back to her…end of fantasy.
Stan phones her cellphone (he’s lurking in the bushes once more) and asks her if she believes him about Chloe now. He comes out of the bushes and she wants to know why he is helping her. We get yet another flashback of Sami with Brady at the hospital. She is arguing with him about how he saved Nicole but both him and John left her mother to die. Stan tells her that he wants everyone to get what they deserve. She’s afraid that Chloe will take Brady away from her.
Inside the mansion, the boys of summer are talking about the rescue plans. Shawn thanks them for doing this. Brady is anxious to get going and get back before anyone finds out what they are doing. Rex lays out his map and printouts and they discuss the difficulties…terrain…not knowing how to parachute… lol…and Shawn saying they don’t have the time to learn. Brady is concerned that they may have to infiltrate a foreign country on foot. Rex says that what they are doing is also illegal. Brady worries that his Grandpa’s money may not be enough for them to pull it off. He talks about the region being peaceful in the past and wonders who the leader is now and if he is holding Philip.
Shawn says he only cares about finding Philip and bringing him home. Nicole comes into the room shouting that the rescue mission is too dangerous and she won’t let them do it. Brady takes her aside privately and tries to reason with her. He promises to return to her. Nicole asks him what happens if he returns and wants to be with Chloe…yada… yada... Brady tells her for the umpteenth time that Chloe is dead but she reiterates that Chloe was the love of his life. He thinks this is all because he proposed to Chloe’s ashes...duh ya think???
Nicole tells him that he forgot all about her at the service and that he’s told her a million times that Chloe is the love of his life. He agrees that he will always love Chloe but tells Nicole that he wants to move on with his life. She thinks if he goes that he will forget about her. He tells her that he will have an important question to ask her when he comes back.
Nicole gets down on her knees and proposes to Brady. He doesn’t think the timing is right but promises he loves her and that she won’t ever lose him. Nicole wants to know why if he can propose to a dead woman that she can’t propose to a live man...lol... Nicole tells herself that she has to make sure that Chloe stays dead permanently.
Shawn and Rex aren’t happy campers that Nicole knows their plans now. He says he doesn’t trust her after everything she has done. Brady and Nicole return and she promises she won’t tell anyone even though she thinks what they are doing is dangerous and just plain stupid. She asks them tearfully to promise her that they will all think about the people who love them and how they will be affected if they don’t come back. She leaves. Back in the hallway...she phones Stan and tells him she needs his help. In the meantime, Brady tells the boys that they are going in by plane and jumping off while its still moving because the pilot won’t want to stay on the ground too long. He adds that they not only need a plane but a fourth person to come with them. He has an idea of who it should be…
Castle: Marlena, Cassie, Jack, Roman, Bart, and Tony
While the fire rages, Bart informs Tony that there is a helicopter waiting to take them to safety if the fire escalates. Tony gets angry and says he isn’t leaving without his prisoners. He is determined to stop his captives from escaping.
Roman and Jack are trying to get to Marlena and Cassie. Roman’s key snaps and Jack suggests they chop the door down and takes an axe. Lots of yelling inside from Cassie with Marlena trying to calm her down. Cassie goes to open a window…Marlena tries to stop her…yelling NO…it causes a backdraft …the door blasts out and Jack and Roman are knocked unconscious. A guard locates them and notifies Tony who is says when he is threw with them that they will wish they were dead. Jack knocks the guard out. They both start going into the room. Roman yells that he will save them just as Tony and Bart turn up. Tony says he wouldn’t be too sure of that when both of them will be dead themselves. He is carrying his trusty sword.
Jack steals the guard’s gun. Tony tells him that won’t stop him (maybe he’s superman?) and Jack says... “What are you going to do? Swat away the bullet before it hits you? This I’ve got to see!” He shoots Tony. Tony falls down clutching his chest in pain. Bart is in shock. Jack says that he has wanted to do that for a very very long time. He feels as if for the first time he has the upper hand. Tony still says that no one can stop him. Jack looks at him and back at the gun in his hand and says that this gun says different.
Roman gets the women out. Cassie is still unconscious. Marlena tells Tony that although she never wants to see a man die, that he deserves to suffer and she wants him out of their lives.. They get Cassie to wake up just as Tony tells them they won’t be going anywhere. Jack, Roman, Marlena, and Cassie are standing close together as the fire rages out of control…with debris flying everywhere. They scream as the floor beneath them collapses. Tony starts to fall through it.
Devereaux Home: Jennifer
Jennifer has just finished making her Great Gran’s three layer chocolate cake for Abby’s birthday and says…Martha Stewart eat your heart out…lol… She talks to Jack’s picture about Abby becoming seventeen. We get a great flashback of Abby’s birth. Jennifer tells Jack that they might not have him but they will always have Abigail. She writes happy birthday from mom and dad on the cake.
Jennifer finds the bracelet that Jack made with Maggie’s help on the island…sigh… another great flashback of him giving it to her and saying it’s for Abby’s birthday. She is going to give it to Abby but wishes she could bring back Jack for her daughter instead. When everything is ready, we see pretty balloons spelling out Abby’s name. Jennifer says she just needs to bathe now and feed and change Jack Jr.
Patrick’s car/Accident scene: Patrick, Billie; Chelsea, Abby, later Patrick, Billie
They are just driving around and Billie talks to Patrick about Bo asking her to move out. She makes it seem like it was her intention to do it anyway. He thinks that in the aftermath of their making love that her heart was with Bo. Billie counters that his heart was with Jennifer Horton (nice of them to screw up her last name...sigh). Patrick tells her that he does care about Jennifer but that she is still mourning Jack.
At the accident scene, Chelsea is leaning against the side of the car. Abby is lying flat on the ground on the opposite side of the car.
Back in Patrick’s car, Billie is going on and on about missing Georgia and says that she has a terrible feeling that Georgia is in danger. She sees the accident scene and yells for Patrick to stop. Both girls are unconscious. Patrick is shocked to see Abby. Patrick tells Billie to call 911. She gets put on hold. He tells Billie that Abby’s pulse is weak and begs Abby to hang on. Billie tells the operator about the accident and asks for help. She is told that there are no available units because of a riot at a basketball game…no comment…
Billie decides to call Bo and Hope (Why?) and tells Hope that she insists on talking to Bo saying it’s an emergency. Hope doesn’t believe her. Billie calls Hope and idiot. Hope hangs up on her (I just love it when they make Billie the “good guy” and Hope the “bad guy”…grrr…). Patrick makes another phone call and the police and emts show up soon afterwards. Apparently he told them that the mayor’s wife was in an accident. The EMTS tell Patrick that Abby, who is still unconscious, has some broken bones and possibly internal bleeding.
Chelsea wakes up and asks Billie about her mother. Billie comforts Chelsea, saying that her mom will be all right. She goes over to Chelsea’s mom who begs Billie to swear that she will take care of her baby. Patrick is on the phone to Lexie asking for her help. Billie thinks he should go tell Jennifer in person what happened. He leaves and Billie says she will see him at the hospital later. Chelsea tells her that she doesn’t want to die. Billie promises not to let anything happen to her.
Brady House: Bo, Hope
Hope and Bo are relaxing in bed. Bo tells her that he hates fighting with her. She tells him that she likes making up. He reminds her that because Zach is off with Pop that they can order some Chinese food and just stay in bed. Hope talks about getting some chocolate fortune cookies. They start kissing… etc…etc… It’s nice to see them without Billie lurking around.
Hope tells Bo not to order any dessert because she promised that they would help Jennifer with Abby’s birthday party. Bo talks about how hard this is on Jennifer without Jack by her side. He tells Hope that he will never take her for granted (I sure hope he means it this time) and they start hugging each other.
Later on we see Hope on the phone with Billie (see above). Hope hangs up and is amazed at Billie’s nerve. When the phone rings a second time she thinks it’s Billie and orders her not to call again. It turns out to be Jennifer who wants to know what Billie has done this time (LOL…that seems to be a common question for her). Hope explains and promises Jennifer that they will be there soon. Jennifer asks her to bring Great Gran’s cake plate when she comes. Hope asks her how she is doing. Jennifer mentions the island bracelet. Hope tells her not to stress. They hang up.
Bo comes in holding a tray and wants to know if anyone phoned while he was away. She tells him about Jennifer’s phone call but omits to tell him that Billie called. They share a toast to finally spending more time together.

Lucas asks if the women know about it. Brady explains that Nicole knows all about it. He says that he can’t let Shawn and Rex go on their own. Lucas counters wanting to know if Belle knows as well. He rags on Shawn but doing this because of selfish reasons only but Shawn tells him that Philip is family and he wants him back safe and sound. He admits that they love each other but aren’t together. He also tells Lucas that none of them know what will happen when Philip returns.
Lucas asks about Rex and Mimi and Rex admits that he was doubtful at the start but has done research and that they all plan on coming back.
Lucas is worried about Will. He tells Shawn and Rex that they have the most to lose because of Belle and Mimi and that he and Brady have lost the women they love...Chloe is dead, and god only knows where Sami is. Brady tells him that if he refuses to help them then they will understand but they could really use his help. Lucas thinks about it as they show him the map and explain the plan in detail. He agrees reluctantly and the four shake hands.
The Castle: Caroline, Victor, Bart, Jack, Marlena, Cassie, and Roman
Victor and Caroline are playing gin rummy. Caroline teases him about beating him at the game 127 to 19. Victor jokingly tells her that he doesn’t know why he plays cards with her; he must be a glutton for punishment. Caroline says there’s not much else to do around the place. She smells smoke.
Bart is looking for his boss but can’t find him. He says “holy gaping holes and thinks that the count is down two floors in the dungeon and that there is no way the Phoenix can rise from the ashes this time. He suddenly remembers about Victor and Caroline and rushes to save them.
Caroline and Victor are coughing from the smoke and decide to break open a window. That just makes things worse though. Victor is shouting for help. He gives Caroline a wet towel to cover her mouth with. They commiserate with each other that at least they’ll be together when they die and not alone. Bart is wearing a gas mask and finds them passed out on the floor. He carries Caroline out and helps Victor to walk, telling them to follow him.
The other four…Jack, Marlena, Cassie, and Roman are grouped together as debris continues to fall. Cassie is upset and thinks they are going to die. Jack covers himself in some tapestry and tells the others to do the same. He runs off to look for an escape route only to be knocked out by a chandelier on fire. Roman runs off the see what happened to Jack while Marlena tries to comfort Cassie. They hear another noise and it’s Roman who has fallen down this time and is caught by a large beam pressing across his legs.
Jack returns and tells Marlena and Cassie about a secret stairway and tunnel he has found. He tells the women to get out while he saves Roman. Marlena and Cassie exit the castle and Marlena says they should pray that the men will make it as well. Jack frees Roman and the castle starts shaking...more debris. We see Bart with Carole and Victor trying to escape and then Bart screams just as the ceiling falls in crushing them with debris.
Devereaux House/On way to Hospital/Hospital: Jennifer and Patrick
At the house – Jennifer is pleased with her decorating skills and reviews the final plans for Abby’s party. Patrick arrives and tells her he has very bad news. Jennifer thinks it’s about Alice. He tells her about Abby and the accident and she gets very upset. They take off for the hospital and while driving, Patrick explains about the drunk driver. Patrick asks her if she is okay. Jennifer talks about how she used to write articles about drunk drivers and now she’s living it. She’s upset and wants to know why even with tougher laws that there are still accidents like this.
At the hospital Jennifer insists on knowing what is happening. She asks a nurse where her daughter’s room is and is told that Abby is in surgery. Jennifer wants to know for what and doesn’t a parent have to give permission first? The nurse suggests that they wait in the waiting room but Jennifer goes ballistic and tells Patrick that her grandfather and brother held high positions at the hospital and she is willing to throw her weight around if necessary.
At the accident scene: Billie, Chelsea, Paramedics and Mrs. Benson
Billie is telling Chelsea not to worry when she realizes that the girl has stopped breathing. She yells for help. A paramedic tells Billie that its too late. Billie knows more than they do and she whips out her Super girl outfit (just kidding) and does CPR and saves the day. Lexie (the only doctor in Salem) turns up and the paramedic tells her that Queen Billie performed a miracle. Lexie examines Chelsea and Billie checks on the mother who is still trapped in the car with no medics checking on her. Billie promises her again (how many times does this make?) that she will take care of Chelsea.
Dr. Billie tells Lexie that they need at least two more ambulances, so Lexie calls Commissioner Gordon (I wonder if it’s the same one from Batman?) for more ambulances ( I guess she needed Billie’s no-how). Billie checks on Chelsea who mistakes her for her mom...too stupid... Billie tells the girl that her mom will be all right. The ambulances show up. We see noble Billie cursing…er…damning Hope for hanging up on her and proclaiming throughout the land that if anyone dies, if will be evil Miss Hope’s fault.
At the hospital, Billie prays that Abby will be okay. Lexie comes out with the bad news that they lost her as Jennifer hears in the background. She starts crying and can’t believe it’s her baby. (Really stupid cliffhanger in my opinion.)
The Hospital: Bonnie, Mimi, and Tek
(These scenes were beyond ridiculous today…and please please stop the flashbacks already!!!)
Mimi comes in with a get-well balloon and a box of candy…flashback collage of Jan/Mimi fights and accident… Bonnie is over the top upset and telling her to get rid of the gifts and to leave Salem. She tells her daughter that she looks guilty as hell for coming there with her drugstore chocolates. Bonnie eats the candy, complaining that she hasn’t had any since Maggie moved back in. She goes on about the show “Law & Order” and how the perp always returns to the scene of the crime. Mimi tells her mommy to shut up and that she isn’t a perp.
Tek appears and wants the truth from Mimi. Mimi tap-dances and says she doesn’t know anything. Tek wants to know why she is there (so do I…sigh). Bonnie cuts in and offers him candy. He wants to know if it’s a bribe and wants to know why Mimi would be visiting Jan if she hated her.
Bonnie goes to Mimi’s defense and tells her to keep quiet. She threatens to call Mickey (the only lawyer in town) and sue Salem Police for harassment. He warns both of them about how close they are to charging Mimi with attempted murder (sure…show your hand…duh!). He reminds Mimi about the fingernail...about what Belle said, and how they found 9 more matching fingernails in Mimi’s garbage can.
Bonnie is angry and does a little tap dance herself coming on to Tek and offering him a free meal at Alice's. He tells them not to leave town and that the police are going to get a warrant to search Jan’s house (shouldn’t they have done it already?).
Mimi is freaking out about Jan’s diary and how she is probably center stage on each page…oh yippee…another group of long…boring…repetitive…did I say boring yet…flashbacks…a trip down memory lane for Miss Jan and Miss Mimi...soooooooo long. Mimi tells Bonnie that if the police find the diary then she is dead. Bonnie tells her that they have to find it first and they take off (groan…).
We see them later in a darkened house (Jan’s) with a flashlight and Bonnie is asking Mimi where Jan’s bedroom is. A voice comes out of the darkness (Tek’s) saying “upstairs” and he turns on the light telling Mimi she is under arrest for attempted murder.
Previews:
Tek tells Mimi that she wanted Jan out of the way in order to keep Rex in the dark about her lies. Mimi replies that she hated Jan and wanted her dead.
Stan tells Nicole that she means as much to him as a $2.00 whore and she goes for his throat.
Cassie cries to Marlena that they (the guys) are dead…or will be soon…
Queen Billie tells Bo (we see the faces of Chelsea, Abby, and Jennifer) that Hope wouldn’t let her talk to him…that she told her to leave him alone and hung up on her. She proclaims AGAIN that if anyone is responsible for this tragedy…it’s her (we see Hope’s face).

Repeat of Tek telling Meems that she’s under arrest. Bonnie goes into verbal attack mode and falls back on her Law & Order television tutorial….entrapment…don’t say a word…etc…etc… Mimi decides to tell the truth about her argument with Jan…how Jan tripped and hit her head…how she ran away from the scene because she was afraid what the cops would think…yada…yada… Bonnie keeps interrupting and trying to get her daughter to shut up. Mimi comes clean about everything…the abortion…the blackmail…the threats.
Tek wants to know what Jan was after. Mimi says she wanted Shawn and told her to keep Shawn and Belle apart or Jan would go to Rex (Hell it sounds ridiculous even now!). Tek tells Mimi that it looks as if she had a motive. Mimi says yes and that she hated Jan and wanted her dead, but she didn’t try to kill her. She says that it was just an accident and she was scared. Again Bonnie tries to get her daughter to shut up. Mimi ignores her and holds out her hands to be handcuffed. Tek tells her to relax and that he isn’t going to arrest her yet.
Conveniently, Tek tells them that his sister went through similar circumstances years ago when she found out she was pregnant. He tells Mimi that if Jan confirms her story when she wakes up then all will be fine but if Jan dies, he will have to arrest her after all. He tells them to leave and he will lock up.
Bonnie and Mimi are outside Jan’s house now. Mimi is in her usual upset/panic mode and decides that she is doomed no matter what happens. She thinks that Jan will lie if she wakes up and that she will lose Rex…yada…yada…
Victor’s Mansion: Nicole and Stan
Nicole is outside nurturing a martini while the ever-lurking Stan is back in the bushes watching her. Flashback to Sami’s argument with Brady about saving Nicole/whore of a stepmother (I see the language is getting cleaned up on this show…NOT) and not rescuing her mother. He’s mumbling about his favorite pastime/REVENGE. Nicole is talking to herself about her favorite pastime/keeping Brady and Chloe apart and thinking how she is going to do it. She wonders where “the little creep” is. Stan appears before her and tells her to leave it up to him…
Stan tells Nicole that he has no beef with her…just with Brady. He wants to make Brady’s life a living hell and he can’t imagine anything worse than him being married to her so he can’t be with Opera Girl. He insults Nicole…saying that if Brady knew the truth about Chloe that Nicole would be worth about as much as a $2.00 whore to him. Nicole gets mad a …slapping him so that his mustache is dragging. He puts it back where it belongs. She calls him a bastard and he retaliates that he has just become her worst nightmare.
Stan insists that Nicole apologize to him and behave. Nicole agrees to do whatever it takes to keep Brady in her clutches. Stan warns her to ensure that the reconstructive surgery never takes place and tells “Nurse Nicole” not to worry and that he will help her to make sure that the ugly duckling never turns into a swan.
Basic Black: The Boys of Summer – Shawn, Brady, Rex, Lucas & Guest Appearance by Mommy Dearest aka Kate (The Wicked Witch of the West)
Brady knows of a different access level of classified information on John’s computer behind a secret panel, so he, Shawn, and Rex turn up and Basic Black with a flashlight to hack into it. Not even John can access it from home. Rex is worried about going ahead but agrees to do it. Lucas comes in with a metal suitcase full of mercenary-like goodies from his time as a Dimera lackey. In the meantime, Rex brings up a big file on John’s computer and is very happy by what he finds. he says that it will tell them everything they need to know.
The witch…er…Kate walks in as if she owns the place (oops I forgot she probably thinks she does now) and has a hissy fit. She wants to know what is going on and if John knows about it. Brady owns up to John not knowing what they are doing. Kate has another hissy fit. Of course it’s okay for Shawn to endanger himself but not her boys. She rags on Shawn about his reason for doing this…selfishness...wanting to steal Philip’s wife...yada…yada… Lucas defends Shawn and says that he didn’t force them to do anything. Kate tells them that they are all delusional. She is determined to call John.
Hospital/Hope’s House: Jennifer, Abby, Patrick, Lexie, Hope, the Bobsey Twins…oops Bo & Billie

Jennifer leaves to find her daughter. Jennifer asks Patrick to call Hope. Mommy Dearest Jr. (oops Billie) is upset for Chelsea’s sake and goes to talk to her. Chelsea asks about her parents. Billie says the doctors are working with them, and stays with her.
Patrick phones Hope from a pay phone in the hospital. Hope and Bo are in bed. The phone rings and he doesn’t want her to answer but she does anyway. Patrick tells her about the accident and they take off for the hospital.
Lexie reassures Jennifer that Abby will be all right. Jennifer goes into her daughter’s room and lifts her hand into hers and kisses it. Abby is sleeping. Jennifer talks to her daughter about the surprise birthday party they are supposed to be having for her right now.
Bo and Hope come in and Patrick takes Hope to Jennifer. They hug and Jennifer tells her that she blames herself for letting Abby go out at all. Hope comforts her.

Jennifer is asleep and sharing Abby’s pillow. Patrick comes in with coffee for her and tells her to get some rest. She says that she is staying the night and thanks him for being there. Patrick wraps a blanket around her to keep her warm. He tells her he will always be there for her.
Lexie gets the news that Chelsea’s dad has died in surgery. Superwoman Billie gives her consent after admitting she agreed to take care of Chelsea for Mrs. Benson. The paramedic Walt supports her statement. Bo can’t do enough to comfort Billie. Lexie tells them that she and the Doctor Blum think that if the EMTs had only gotten to the accident scene sooner that Chelsea’s parents might have survived. Superman Bo wants to know why Billie didn’t call him so that with his bare hands he could have gotten things going a little faster. Billie of course tells him that she did…yada…yada…cue evil Hope being responsible for everything that has gone wrong since the world began.

Victor finds Caroline sitting up on the floor. She is trapped beneath a large beam and can’t feel her legs. Victor looks for a lever to lift the obstacle off her legs. Bart shows up with a flashlight and warns them that they aren’t going anywhere (didn’t he try to save them just yesterday?). Victor tries to bribe Bart into helping him with Caroline. Bart is mumbling about the others getting away and how the count won’t be a happy camper. Caroline is shocked and happy at the same time to hear that her son and the others are alive and okay.
Victor admits to Bart that Caroline has always been the love of his life (awwww…that was very sweet). He offers to sacrifice his life for hers if Bart agrees to help him get the beam off of her. Bart is verklempt…lol… and goes to help just as the building starts shaking again (how predictable) and debris starts flying once more.
Marlena gives Cassie a pep talk. Jack and Roman can’t believe what they see…a satellite phone.
Marlena and Cassie are watching from outside as Roman and Jack run out and they are all reunited. Roman says that Jack saved his life.

Janice’s Spoilers
Basic Black: Boys of Summer and Kamikaze Kate
Kate is center stage with her posturing as she presents her gloom & doom report on the drawbacks of their ill-fated rescue plan…death…imprisonment…oops…vacation from the show maybe??? (Just kidding). Shawn stops her from calling John and she asks him if he is threatening her…I wish… He says he isn’t but that she had better let them do this. Lucas plays peacemaker and says they all want Philip home safely (um…could we take a vote on that?). More ranting back and forth until Shawn finally throws his hands up and says enough of this…they are wasting their time and need to get going.
They tell Kate that they are Phil’s only chance. Brady tells Rex and Lucas to convince mommy dearest as he leaves with Shawn. Kate tries to call John again…Lucas gets her to listen to him. Rex leaves because Lucas is the only one she might listen to…and on and on… Kate reiterates Shawn’s reasons for going…etc… Bottom line, Brady and Shawn can die die die but her boys MUST come back safe and sound. Lots of shouting back and forth.
Lucas asks Kate to promise she won’t tell John and asks if she will look after Will while he is gone. He gives her a letter for Sami about Will’s future just in case something happens to him and makes her promise to give it to her (and of course Kate will…NOT). He says he can’t talk to his son before he leaves because he’ll ask too many questions. They hug and Lucas leaves. Kate prays for their safety.
St. Luke’s Church: Brady and Chloe
Chloe is at the kneeling at the altar (wearing black hooded cape) praying that her surgery will be successful so that she and Brady can be together and she can save Brady from Nicole…and…and… She acknowledges Brady’s love for her but doesn’t want him to make sacrifices where she is concerned. She talks about how she was a burden to him once when she had leukemia and she knows he will drop everything for her again if he knows what she is going through.
Brady comes up behind Chloe and asks if he can pray with her. She stays silent as he lights a candle and asks if she is all right. She tells him she’s okay and rushes away. Chloe lurks as Brady prays for a safe mission and asks god to watch over Phil. He talks about being angry with God for Chloe’s death and how much he still loves her and wishes she could return to him. He leaves…Chloe walks back up to the altar and says that with God to help her, Brady’s wish can come true…
Victor’s Mansion: Nicole and Stan
Nicole angst…about rescue mission and losing Brady to Chloe…yada…yada…etc… etc… Super Stan comes for a visit and gives her a paper shopping bag with surgical scrubs, booties, surgical mask, counterfeit nurse ID (could this story get any worse???). She tells him she can’t do it. He gives her a pep talk about not being negative…reaches way back into the vaults of Salem history to regurgitate about her treatment of Eric Brady…marrying Lucas only to turn him into an alcoholic… seducing old man Kiriakis for his money…all the while keeping Colin on the side.
Nicole looks at him suspiciously and insists on knowing why he is helping her. We get a flashback of Brady and Nicole running into Sami and Lucas. Brady is chastising Sami for picking on Belle regarding the double booked wedding day. Stan puffs out his chest and proclaims that he is the only man in existence who wants her to end up with the man she loves aka Brady and destroy his life in the process. He twists the knife a little and tells her that she could lose everything she wants if she doesn’t do what he says. She asks him why he wants Brady to suffer (how many times has he answered this already???)…same old answer…revenge..Brady needs to be punished and saddled with a scheming, gold-digging bitch like Nicole.
Brady arrives before Nicole can agree to the scheme and she runs out to hug him. He tells her he came home to pack. Stan lurks. Brady reminds Nicole that he will have a surprise for her when he returns from the mission and runs upstairs. Stan makes a return appearance and mocks Nicole about which girl he will be coming home to. She knows what she must do. Stan leaves very self-satisfied.
Hospital: Jennifer, Abby, Hope, Bo, and unfortunately Billie
Jennifer is in Abby’s room. She tells a sleeping Abby about the party for her...about the cake she made...balloons...presents. Jen tells Abby that she doesn’t know what she would do if she lost her.
Out in the hospital corridor, Billie (like her mother before her) is holding center stage and victimizing Hope. Bo is angry as well and asks Hope why she hung up on the woman. Hope tries to get a word in edgewise but Billie doesn’t want anyone raining on her parade and just talks over her. Bo of course could have saved the world if he only had a brain…oops I mean if only he had gotten that call. Billie goes on and on and on casting Hope as evil incarnate…murderess of the Bensons…etc…etc… The boy who cried wolf scenario comes up but Miss Billie tears that down with her fangs…calling Hope jealous and begrudging her of a tiny little corner of Bo’s life for poor, poor, poor, poor Billie and her Georgia.
Jennifer comes out and Billie tells the story all over again (lucky us). She trashes Hope again. Hope stands there looking devastated and Bo does nothing to defend her. She talks to Jennifer privately about it saying that Billie never told her why she called and that she would have helped if she had known. She apologizes to Bo but he brushes it off and tells her that Billie is upset because of the noble promise she made the Chelsea’s mom…and of course because this makes her thing of her daughter…groan… etc…etc… He says that a lot of people are in pain right now (how about your wife, Bo?)
Hope tries to tell Jennifer again her side but even Jennifer is turning away from her angrily. A nurse tells them that Chelsea is out of surgery but that Dr. Carver will come and tell them what happened. Billie thinks dire thoughts and grabs Bo for a hug. She stares daggers at Hope.
Belle’s Loft/Shawn’s Loft: Belle/Mimi/Rex & Shawn/Belle
Mimi goes to see Belle and pours her heart out about what happened. Belle believes her that it was an accident but tells her to be honest with Rex. Mimi doesn’t know if she can do that. She talks about how she started telling lies and now can’t stop.
Over at Shawn’s loft, he is busy making a video for Belle. He tells her he’s sorry he can’t tell her what he is going to do before he leaves but that she would try to stop him and he can’t let that happen. He tells her that he is doing it for her and for them and that he is making the video and going to put it in a special place because if anything happens to him...if he’s captured or killed...then he knows that she will go to the place and find the video. He tells her he loves her...always has and always will. (the video was very short but very sweet).
Back at Belle’s, she tells Mimi to trust in their love and tell Rex the truth. She uses what happened to her and Shawn as an example of what can happen when you don’t. Rex knocks on the door looking for Mimi and asks to speak to her alone. Belle leaves.
Shawn hears a knock and opens the door. Belle comes in and says she needs to talk to him about Mimi. She sees the bag he is packing and wants to know what is going on. He tells her that he is going out of town for a few days. She accuses him of going to rescue Philip on his own. Shawn plays on those last three words and promises that he isn’t because she and his parents convinced him he couldn’t do it “on his own.” She makes him swear that he’s not lying to her and won’t break his promise and he does. He tells her he’s leaving because it’s just too hard to be around her when they can’t be together. He feels bad about pressuring her. Belle gets mad and says some things I just know are going to haunt her later…lol…he’s taking the easy way out…he’s selfish and just running away like before. Shawn denies it and says he loves her. She runs out. Shawn says that when they get back with marine boy, she will understand.
Rex tells Mimi that he is going away for a few days. She seems to be relieved…lol…and Rex looks at her closely and asks if there is a reason that she doesn’t want them together. She tap dances around the issue and tells him she will miss him. Rex is sure that she will be waiting for him when he gets back…Mimi says yes but murmurs to herself…unless she’s in jail.
Previews:
Belle and Mimi talk about both Shawn and Rex going out of town. Belle asks Mimi if there is something they aren’t telling them.
Billie tells Hope that this is all her fault and that she ruined that girl’s life (um I think we get it now!!!)
John tells Kate that she got sucked into this and he is not going to finance a suicide mission…they are going to get themselves killed.
And finally but unfortunately...a Philip sighting:
Macho Phil telling his guards that they don’t even have orders so they don’t know what to do next. One of the guards tells another one to kill Philip and they point a gun at him as shots are heard.

Friday Apr 22
Janice’s Spoilers
Belle’s Loft: Belle and Mimi
Belle and Mimi are drinking tea. Belle talks about Shawn running off again and wondering if he’ll return. Mimi tries to comfort her and says that Jan’s not involved this time so of course he’ll be back. Belle thinks that she should tell the police about Jan locking Shawn up and holding him hostage so they will know just what sort of person she really is. Mimi is totally against it saying it will work against her.
Belle asks Mimi if she has told Rex the truth yet. Mimi tells her she didn’t have a chance to because he told her he was going away. Belle puts two and two together and wonders if both Shawn and Rex are going away, if there is something going on they haven’t told them. Belle thinks that they are off on the rescue mission and tells Mimi that they have to stop them.
Shawn’s Loft: Shawn, Rex, Brady, and Lucas/Later Belle and Mimi
Rex tells Shawn that he’s downloaded everything they need. Shawn says that must mean they are ready to go. He asks Rex how Mimi reacted to the news that he was leaving. Rex tells him she was okay with it and asks about Belle’s response. Shawn answers that Belle was mad but that he doesn’t blame her because she thinks he’s running off on her again and he can’t tell her the truth. Rex is hopeful that upon their return with marine boy that all will be forgiven.
Lucas and Brady arrive. Brady tells them that the plane has been loaded with weapons and ammunition and everything is ready to go. Lucas mentions that he hopes that Kate won’t say anything to John.
Rex tells them that there is a problem on his computer. John knows that someone has been hacking into his computer and has requested a full-scale investigation. Shawn says he can’t find out or they’ll be shut down. Brady thinks his dad is in too much pain to do anything, but they decide they should start moving before they get busted. Rex does something on the computer to take John’s attention away from what they are doing.
Belle and Mimi arrive at the boys’ loft only to find it empty. Mimi isn’t sure that means they are together though. Belle says that Shawn would have left a note or something if he were going to risk his life. We get a flashback where Shawn gives Belle the key to his Grandpa Tom’s chest. He tells her that everything that is important to him is inside and that if something happens to him he wants her to have it. Back in the present, Belle finds the key on her key chain and opens the chest up. She’s upset that she didn’t think to open it when he ran off last time and was with Jan and tells Mimi that the last thing she did was yell at him. Inside the chest are lots of cards…Christmas…Valentine’s Day… snowman Christmas ornament. Belle says he saved everything. Then she sees the video and takes it out to play. She murmurs that if anything happens to him and then in the next second says…if he broke his promise.
The video is playing and Shawn is telling Belle that he is sorry he can’t tell her what is going on but that she would try to stop him and he can’t let that happen. He tells her he is doing this for her and for them and says he is putting the video in a special place…(it is pretty much what we saw yesterday). He tells her about their plans to rescue Philip and that he is doing it for her. Shawn tells Belle that there are no words to describe what she means to him. Belle is crying as she listens. Finally, he ends by telling her he will always love her and that she makes him a better person. If he dies, he will wait for her in heaven and will never stop loving her. Mimi wonders if Rex could die too and Belle tells her not if they have anything to say about it and they run out of the loft.
Stan’s Room: Stan
Stan touches up his makeup and muses on who is next on his hit list. It turns out to be Philip. In the next scene he is reading a warrior magazine and the phone rings. He tells the person at the other end that he won’t go after Philip but is told to look outside his door where he finds a box. Inside is his camouflage gear for the trip. Stan is shocked and says he can’t do it but is told to follow the instructions exactly as they are written. He is told it is the prices he has to pay to get revenge.
Penthouse: John, and Kate
Kate comes in and we get a flashback (naturally) of her talk with Lucas. She sees John working at the computer. He tells her that someone hacked into his ISA computer and he’s plenty mad and is going to report them. Kate tells him he can’t and he gets suspicious and wants to know what she knows about it…dangerous info…etc…etc… Kate goes all feminine and wants him to hold her. She tells him she did a terrible thing and that she let their sons do something. John is very angry and figures out that its Rex. All of a sudden Kate is worried about her children and his…go figure…sigh… John figures they are going to rescue Philip and asks Kate if it was Shawn’s idea. He wonders if they suckered Brady into going because they needed money. He’s going to put a stop to this suicide mission.
John tells Kate that the ISA grounded all planes. Belle and Mimi come in and Belle tells her dad that he has to stop them from leaving. They head off to the airport.
Airport: Boys of summer, Belle, Mimi, John, and Kate
Brady tells the others that everything is loaded onto the plane and he’s off to check with the pilot. Lucas decides to call Will who is spending the night with Mickey and Maggie. He’s worried about Will because Sami is gone as well. Shawn goes to call Bo and Hope and gets voice mail. Bo phones him back and Shawn says he just wanted to thank him for the talk. His dad tells him about the accident and Shawn tells him he’s sorry and asks about Abby. Bo tells him she’ll be okay. A plane can be heard taking off in the background and Bo wants to know what’s happening. Shawn tells him that he’s on the roof and a plane is flying by.
Shawn talks about Belle and how his dad was right about him being afraid to lose her. He tells him that he wants to change and do good things...make a difference. Bo wants to know that Shawn isn’t going to take any more risks. Shawn tells him he won’t and knows his limits. It’s a really heartfelt talk. Rex taps his shoulder pointing to his watch and Shawn tells Bo that his cell phone is dying and he has to go. He tells the boys that his parents won’t worry about him now.
Brady comes back and there’s another snag. The Jet’s been grounded. In the next seen, the boys are on the plane and Brady tells them that they’ve been cleared for takeoff. He says “money talks, gentlemen. Get buckled up because we’re on our way!”
John, Kate, Belle, and Mimi arrive at the airport too late. They are told that the plane has been cleared.
Hospital: Hope, Bo, Billie, Patrick, and Lexie
Hope stands watching Bo and Billie together. Billie goes on another Hope is the devil rampage. Patrick asks Hope how Abby and Jennifer are. She tells him that Abby is fine but that Jennifer blames her. Hope tells him that it’s her fault because she didn’t tell Bo about Billie’s call and that Chelsea will be an orphan because of it. Patrick tells her that he doesn’t blame her for what happened.
Hope still thinks it’s her fault but Patrick tells her he understands why she did it and that it wouldn’t have made any difference. He mentions being right there and calling about the Mayor’s wife right after Billie hung up and that the emergency teams arrived within fifteen minutes. Hope tells him that Bo could have had a medical helicopter there in five minutes. She doesn’t understand why Bo is on Billie’s side. Patrick shows her the stuffed lamb he brought to keep Abby company.
Billie is upset about not getting news regarding Chelsea…etc…etc…more Hope ranting…if Hope had told him… Bo finally grabs a brain and says that it’s a big if. He talks about a tragedy like this bringing up memories of Georgia and tells them that they will find their daughter. Lexie arrives and they ask her about Chelsea.
Chelsea survived the surgery but is still in critical condition and will have a long and painful recovery. Hope comes up and tells them she is praying for her… enter Billie’s mouth again stage left… yada… yada…hang Hope from the nearest tree…etc…etc… Bo finally comes to Hope’s defense and tells Billie to not talk to his wife that way. Billie takes off with a disgusted and hateful look on her face. Bo turns back to Hope and tells her that Billie is just upset…ya think? He kisses her forehead and tells her to relax. Any minute now I swear he’s going to pat her little head.
Patrick steps up to the plate and says that it isn’t Hope’s fault but Bo doesn’t want to hear it. Hope walks away. Patrick comments to Bo about how he always comes to Billie’s rescue so he shouldn’t really blame Hope for not saying anything…more arguing between the two of them. Hope steps between them and tells them to stop. She tells Bo that if he needs time then she’ll give him time and walks out. Bo calls her name. Patrick goes after her. Lexie gets paged by Abe.
Bo is talking to Shawn on the phone (see airport scenes). He tells Billie that Shawn sounds more like his old self. Billie tells Bo to go after Hope and tell her but Bo decides not to because he is sure he would just get into it again with Patrick. Patrick offers to take Hope for a ride and to get some coffee so that things can quiet down and then she can talk to Bo alone. She decides to take him up on his offer.
Billie gets a duffel bag from the nurse with a white t-shirt with the name Georgia on it (bloodied) inside. She’s upset.
Lexie calls Abe…they are arguing about her having a job. He’s upset that he can’t work and hangs up on her (we don’t see or hear him). She calls him and suggests they have a quiet evening or maybe watch a movie. She remembers that he is blind and changes that to listening to music when she gets home. He tells her he’s tired and not to wake him up when she gets home. Lexie gets upset because he hangs up before she can tell him she loves him…we all know where this is going unfortunately.
Somewhere in the world: Philip, and captors
Philip figures the guards don’t have a plan, opens his big mouth to say so, and gets slapped a few times. A guard comes in with bad news so Phil gets cuffed again. The guards (British accents?) leave and one tells the other about the castle/no survivors and that there is no news from Tony or Bart. They talk about what they should do with marine boy who is pulling on his chains. One of the guards says that holding a marine now only makes them a target. Afterwards the guard fixes the loose lock and they both decide to kill Phil and everyone who tries to rescue him, pointing their guns at him and he says “yeah.”
Previews:
Billie asks Bo who could be doing this to them. Bo tells her they are going to get some answers...now!
Mimi tells Belle that no matter what she does, she is going to lose Rex. She says she has to leave Salem.
John tells Kate that he wants her in his life because he has fallen in love with her.
Roman tells Marlena on the plane that what “they” don’t know won’t hurt them.

Janice’s Spoilers
Note: Kudos to Matthew Ashford for his acting today...absolutely wonderful.
Clinic: Nancy, Chloe, Nicole, and Nurse
Nancy is at the nurse’s station freaking out because she can’t find Chloe. Chloe appears and tells her mom to relax and that she just went for a walk. She explains about going to the church, finding Brady there, and wanting so badly to talk to him. She also tells about how she overheard everything he said and can’t wait to walk down the aisle and have him put his mom’s ring on her finger. Chloe can’t wait for the surgery tomorrow so she can tell Brady she’s alive and okay and then he can dump Nicole. Nicole is sitting with her back to them at the computer, disguised as a nurse with a nursing cap and thick-rimmed glasses. They walk away and she mumbles that it’s not going to happen.
A nurse stops at the desk and asks Nicole if she is the new floater. Nicole keeps her back to her and mumbles yes. The nurse wants to know why she is there so late and Nicole murmurs something about paperwork. The other nurse commiserates and asks if she will be on in the morning. Nicole says yes again and just then Chloe returns. The nurse introduces Chloe to a disguised Nicole and says she will be assisting the doctor during her surgery. Chloe says hello, Nicole pulls the mask over half her face and mumbles something about having allergies. The other nurse offers to find someone else for tomorrow but Nicole scrambles to tell her that she’ll be fine by morning.
Nicole goes behind the corner to listen. Nancy wants Chloe to rest. The nurse goes to get Chloe some orange juice. Chloe promises her mom that she will be ready to talk to Brady after the surgery and then he will dump Nicole. Nicole mumbles that there isn’t going to be any surgery.
The nurse comes back and tells Chloe how good the doctor is and that he uses an imaging system and will examine the x-rays before making a decision. If there is a problem then he will cancel the surgery. Nicole mumbles that there will be a major problem. She is going to make sure the doctor gets the wrong x-rays. The nurse leaves. Nancy and Chloe go back to Chloe’s room. Nicole slips out and starts fiddling with Chloe’s file folder. Nancy comes back and wants to know what she is doing.
Airport: Belle, Mimi, Kate, and John
Belle is extremely angry at Kate for not saying anything about what the guys were planning. She wants answers from Kate who just stands there and says nothing. Belle wants to know how she could do it.
John is all bluster and puffed out and demands to go after the boys. The guard won’t let him. He says they have already left and that John doesn’t look as if he is in any shape to do it anyway.
Belle is ragging (Yes!!!) at Kate. She says... “So as long as you knew it was Shawn, you didn’t give a damn. But now that your three sons are involved you suddenly care?” She tells Kate that it was bad enough when Phil was in danger but now all four of them could lose their lives and its all Kate’s fault. Mimi tells Kate that she is angry as well. Kate excuses herself by saying that it’s her boys...yeah right!
John comes and starts defending Kate. He pretty much brushes off his daughter. Belle goes into his arms and asks why she has to lose everyone. She misses her mom so much and wishes she was there. All the while John is looking over her shoulder and Kate as if to comfort her. John starts defending Kate again and Belle sees red. She asks her dad how he can defend and comfort her. John tries to stop her and Belle asks with astonishment: “You two aren’t together are you?” She asks her dad how he can even think of moving on...mom is his wife. John talks about needing to move on. Belle is crying now and she looks hatefully at Kate and says: “With her? Move on with her?” She says she won’t accept it...that it’s all wrong and that he is making a huge mistake and will regret it. (John looks as if he could care less about Belle...it’s all about Kate’s needs as far as he is concerned). Belle and Mimi leave in anger.
Kate turns to John and asks him if he wants to call things off. John tells her absolutely not. She tells him that Belle is very upset and he answers that he can’t worry about what his kids think because she is good for him and he can’t live with out her...yada...yada... and he’s fallen in love with her. Kate says she doesn’t know what to do. John tells her he still loves Marlena but she isn’t coming back and the only way he can live his life is to have Kate by his side. He hopes he isn’t putting too much pressure on her (yeah right, how needy can you get???) He tells her that they will get the situation with their sons fixed first and then talk about them. They hug.
The guard tells John that a plane is asking for clearance to land. John hopes the boys have talked some sense into Shawn and that they are coming back. The plane can’t be identified yet.
Belle’s Loft: Belle and Mimi
Belle and Mimi walk into the loft upset. Belle says that they could lose all of them. She says that when her mom was alive she used to think that things would turn out okay, but now the worse seems to happen all the time. Mimi says that she always knew it. She decides to take a look on Rex’s lap top to see if they can find out anything more about their rescue mission. She sits down and turns it on and says... “OMG..this is incredible!”
Mimi and Belle watch a video that Rex prepared for Mimi in case anything happened to him. It’s really hard to explain this video...the backgrounds are all cartoonish...I think it’s supposed to be funny...for example: storks flying all over the place with a grinning Mimi standing in between them and a voiceover by Rex saying what a wonderful mom she will be...another clip shows them at the beach...like those old beach movies...it really comes out very lame in my humble opinion and yet Mimi is crying as she hears him tells her that in case something happens to him he wants her to know that he loves her and wants to marry her.
Mimi says that she doesn’t deserve Rex and wonders what he will say when he hears about all the terrible things she has done. We see a fantasy of Rex coming home in camouflage gear and saying how great it was to rescue Phil. A policewoman is there arresting Mimi for killing Jan and also because she had an abortion and can’t have children. Mimi wants to know what that has to do with it. Rex is shocked that she lied to him. He tells her that he never wants to see her again and the fantasy ends. Mimi is crying and decides that she has to leave town for good.
Belle tells her she is being ridiculous. She reminds her how when Belle thought that she was responsible for Philip being in danger and being captured that Mimi was there to tell her it wasn’t her fault. She tells Mimi that she has to be there for Rex when he comes home and gives her back some of her own advice...follow your heart.
Plane: Jack, Roman, and Marlena
Jack is looking out of the window. He’s too keyed up to sleep. Marlena mentions that Cassie is asleep in the back. Marlena wants to call their loved ones so they won’t be shocked by their arrival. Roman says he wants to surprise Kate and Jack says he just wants to fall right into Jennifer’s arms. He tells them that he thinks today is Abby’s 17th birthday and it will be like birthdays, Christmas and every holiday rolled into one if he can get there for it.
Marlena can’t believe that they will see everyone in two hours. Jack has a wonderful fantasy throughout the show. We see Jennifer at home icing a cake (pink and white this time). She talks to herself about how Jack’s favorite part was the icing. Jack comes in and yells surprise and Jennifer is shocked. We come back to the present and Jack says he can’t wait to surprise her. (This is a soft-spoken Jack today...very understated and very sweet).
Marlena tells Roman that she is wondering what it might be like to be with John again. She worries about what they will be walking into and how awkward it will be. Jack’s fantasy starts up again. He and Jennifer and kissing and he tastes the icing. Jennifer shows him the bracelet he made for Abby and he is excited that he’ll get to give it to her. She tells him that Abby will be home in about an hour and he tells her that they have just enough time for a real reunion. He picks her up in his arms. Back to the present, he says this time it will be real...
Roman wants Marlena to get some rest but she tells him that every time she closes her eyes she sees the video of John and Kate making love. They talk about what they did and he tells her that it was out of loneliness and despair. She wants to know how they can face their spouses after what they have done. Roman thinks if they tell them it will only be hurtful. Marlena says she can’t live a lie. He asks her if she thinks Kate and John will tell them that they are sleeping together and suggests that they wait and see what happens...focus on being free and going home. He wants Marlena to promise not to say anything.
More of Jack’s fantasy... Jack and Jennifer are making love under a thick blanket when they hear the door open and scramble to hide the evidence...lol... Jack hides in the kitchen and Abby comes into the room. Jennifer says...happy birthday sweetie and tells her she has a surprise for her and to close her eyes. She asks Abby what is the one thing that she wants more than anything in the world.
Jack comes in with a ribbon tied around him (like a present) and yells surprise. Abby screams and the look on Jack’s face is hilarious. She runs into his arms and they hug. In the final scene of the fantasy we see Jennifer, Abby, and Jack carrying Jack Jr. He can’t believe how big he’s gotten. Jack tells Abby to blow out her candles and make a wish but she tells him her wish has already come true. They share a group hug.
Back in the present, Jack murmurs that it won’t be long now.
Hospital: Jennifer, Abby, Bo, and Billie
Jennifer is in Abby’s room. Abby wakes up and wants to know what happened. Jennifer tells her about the accident. Abby asks about Chelsea and her parents. Jen tells her the bad news about the Bentons and that Chelsea is in critical condition. She tells Abby that they need to pray for her and give her love and support.
Jennifer gives Abby the stuffed lamb. Abby smiles and holds it to her remembering that her dad gave it to her. She says that she wishes he was here. Jennifer says...so do I...so do I.
In the hospital waiting area, Bo comes in and tells Billie that no one saw the duffel bag get dropped off. She tells him that it has to be Georgia’s blood and he tells her that they will get answers. Bo sees a luggage tag with an address inside and Billie thinks that’s where they will find her. She’s gung ho to go after her (um what about Chelsea???) and to hell with anything else but Bo tells her no...that this time he isn’t going off on a tangent into danger. This time they will wait for the lab results from the blood and then decide what to do.
Billie insists that she is going. Bo says he has to find Hope and tell her first. He comes back and says he couldn’t find her and her car is missing. Billie says she doesn’t care and that all she cares about is Georgia. They get the lab results and it’s positive. Billie is determined that she is going to check out the address with or without Bo...She goes into a sob routine...hasn’t Georgia suffered enough...haven’t we? Flashback to her at the grave (thank god it’s quick). She is determined not to bury her daughter again. Bo caves in but says he still needs to find Hope and tell her.
Bo says Hope’s phone is dead. Jennifer comes out holding it and saying that Hope left it in Abby’s room. She tells him that she doesn’t think he should go with Billie. Billie’s voice is dripping with sarcasm as she thanks Jen for her support. Billie goes on a Hope rant again... Jennifer explains that she’s not against Bo looking for his daughter but that he needs to talk to Hope first...she is his wife and deserves to know if he is walking into danger. Billie wants to know how Jennifer can be so darned concerned about Hope after what she did. Bo comes back and says he still didn’t get hold of Hope but left a message on her voicemail. He hugs Jennifer and tells her to tell Hope that Shawn phoned and he’s okay. Bo and Billie leave. Jennifer mumbles that Hope won’t like this one little bit.
Previews:
Billie and Bo driving: Billie tells him that she will make a deal with him...they go check out the lead and then he can go home to Hope (very nice of you to give your permission...grrr).
Jennifer talking to Abby: She tells Abby that Jack was the best husband anyone could ask for. (Jack is standing in the doorway listening). Abby says she knows and that he can see them now.
Marlena tells Roman that she’s scared.
Kate tells John that the past is the past and she believes with all her heart that her future is with him.

Pat’s Spoilers
This has to be a very quick and short report. It’s close to 7pm and I just finished watching the show. Normally these reports take an hour to an hour and half to write up – don’t have that kind of time to spend on it this evening.
My positives – I absolutely loved the Jennifer/Abby scenes today. I loved Jack. Maggie looks beautiful. Mickey and Maggie’s reactions to Jack were priceless.
My rant – John and Kate – John rushing to propose to Kate – where’s this much touted connection he has with Marlena that he doesn’t even know his wife is in the terminal at that moment. Oh yeah – must of have been the same place Belle’s was when she was crying on Philip’s shoulders and being petted. I also watched the episode where whiny Belle lashes out at Kate. Of course – it’s all about Belle again and her whining about everybody leaving her. Gosh, listen to yourself and you’ll know why they all run in the other direction. Someone needs to tell her to get over herself because she’s not all that. And than she has the audacity to remind her father that he is married – that Marlena is his wife – perhaps she should remind herself that she is married and that she has no right to keep Shawn dangling on a leash while she plays at being the noble, loving wife of soldier who is MIA. But the bright side was that today’s Canadian episode was a whiny Belle free zone – loved it!!!
Airport/Airplane: Jack wakes up Cassie and tells her they are almost home. Marlena admits to Roman that she is a little scared. They have been gone for so long and so much has happened that she doesn’t know what to expect. Roman says they have been together night and day, sleeping in the same bed, chained together that it’s going to be difficult to be apart from her but he’s looking forward to going home. He’s actually thankful that Tony let them see that John and Kate were lovers. He talks about how it was when he came home after being imprisoned by Stefano to find her and John living the life the two of them should have had – they all pretended that nothing had happened and Marlena came back to him. Then when he realised that she was in love with John he didn’t know what to do with himself. Marlena says she doesn’t blame John and Kate for turning to each other because they believed that she and Roman were dead. She tells Roman that if she would have believed they were ever going to escape from Tony she would have never made love. They hit some turbulence just before landing. The pilot announces they can’t leave the plane because they have to clear immigration – they have no papers. Jack can’t wait. Roman tells him that he and Marlena will take care of it. He tells Cassie to go to the pub and explain it as best as she can to Grandpa Shawn and he’ll be there as soon as he can.
John is told that a private jet has asked for clearance to land. Kate hopes that the guys have come to their senses and turned around and came back. She made remarks several times about Shawn’s stupidity…grrr… John tells her again that he couldn’t have made it this far without her. He says I love you and then asks her why she didn’t say anything back. She starts crying. She’s so worried about her sons – yada, yada, yada. He tells her it okay. She tells him how Philip asked her right after Roman died if she thought there could ever be anything between her and John – not to close off that part of herself because she had so much love to give. She says she told Philip she couldn’t think about that. She then tells John he is so brave and she is a coward because she has been in love with him for a long long time but she wouldn’t even admit it to herself. They kiss. They find out the plane isn’t the Titan jet so they are going to leave but John collapses. They sit down and John says he is alright. Kate wants them to go home but John wants to do something – in fact he feels this sense of urgency to do it right now. Kate protests and he tells her not to interrupt a man when he’s trying to propose. How stupid – he pulls out this ring box – when did he go shopping??? – and proposes and she accepts – all this while she is still wearing Roman’s rings on ring finger. They kiss. Roman and Marlena enter the terminal so happy to be home. They both realise they have no money to pay for a cab. They see the couple kissing (Kate has a hood on our something) – Marlena says – look at that couple – they are so in love that they kiss in the middle of an airport. It’s so romantic and she thinks that is great because maybe they will give them a ride home…huh?
Clinic: Nicole in her nurse’s uniform and mask spends the whole time trying to change the labels of Chloe’s x-ray’s – apparently the doctor will look at the scan and if he doesn’t like what he sees he won’t operate. Nicole is going to put Chloe’s label on a different x-ray. She gets questioned by a different nurse, by Chloe and then by Nancy but no one recognizes her. Nicole pretends she has allergies and coughs a lot. It was all just a repeat of how Chloe won’t let Brady know she’s alive until she looks the way she used to. Nicole vows to make sure that will never happen – at least she admits she’s desperate. Boring…
Bo and Billie: Bo actually said a few smart things today but what was the point – he ends up caving in to what Billie wants. They are in the car driving to Ogden which is apparently just outside of Salem. Billie keeps showing him the sweater and the blood and yapping about how much their daughter needs them…groan. Bo does want to go back and talk to Hope. I’m sorry – but Billie was terrible today – the way she talked about Hope had my blood boiling. Bo finally tells her that his marriage is in trouble and that he can’t live without Hope. Hope and the boys are his life. He tells Billie that he has to do this from the sidelines – she can search and he’ll help from home. Billie really talks down Hope then. She says if they were married and if he had Zach with Hope and Zach went missing, she would be right by his side searching for his child…blech… She then tells him she can’t do this without him. Hmm…first she gets him to go with her by threatening that she will go without him and now all of a sudden, when he tells her to do it on her own – she can’t do it without him. He tells her that it’s different for her – she is alone, he has a wife and 2 sons that need him. Billie gets angry and tells him to turn the car around and go home to his wife – she yells who needs you. Bo says good question, our daughter needs me. So of course he goes with her. They get to the place and Bo doesn’t have a good feeling about the place – he thinks it’s a trap.
Hospital: I’m not going to go into detail on the Jennifer and Abby scenes. They were so good. I loved every second of them. I especially loved Abby. She apologizes to Jen for the way she has been acting and tells her that she is the best mom in the whole world and that she loves her very much. They talk about Jack. Abby accepts that he is gone but she wants to believe that he can hear her in heaven because she wants to say goodbye. Jen phones home where Mickey and Maggie are with Jack Jr. She tells Maggie to bring her an overnight bag. Mickey and Maggie decide that if Abby can’t home for her party that they should take the party to her. Maggie goes to the hospital. Jack comes busting in the house and sees Mickey on the couch. Jack calls out from Jennifer. Mickey doesn’t look up from the TV – just says, Jennifer’s not home Jack. Oh goodness – when Mickey realises what he just said … LOL! Jack says give me a hug. Mickey tells him about Abby and gives Jack his car keys. Jack rushes to the hospital and runs into Maggie who is about to surprise Abby with her cake. Maggie is shocked and says what happened – how – Jack says – 2 words, Tony DiMera. Maggie tells him to say no more. She gives him the cake. Jack goes into the room where he finds Abby and Jen with their eyes closed as Jen is saying a prayer for him and talking about how they were so lucky to have him in their lives. He was the best father and the best husband and they will love him forever.
Previews: Nicole fingering a scalpel – I have to make sure Chloe never wants Brady to see her again. Oops – she plunges the scalpel into the counter. Chloe (must be dreaming) – Brady what is it – she looks in a mirror and starts crying – oh my god. Jennifer looking back saying oh my gosh, it can’t be. Kate to John – I know my future is with you. We’re going to be happy. Roman – Oh my god, I don’t believe it.

Wednesday Apr 27
Pat’s Spoilers
The Devereaux family reunion should not be missed. It was everything it should have been and more. I enjoyed every second of it! And baby Jack is just the cutest little baby … LOL! The way the baby looked at Jack and then at Abby had me laughing through my tears. Mickey and Maggie being there at the end just seemed to make the occasion even more special.
There’s a bit of a repeat of Jen’s prayer with Jack standing in the doorway holding the cake at the beginning. Jen and Abby hug and Abby looks up and sees Jack. She says ‘Daddy’. Jen wishes he could be there and Abby tells her he is. Jen stands up and tells Abby she should get some rest. Jack says not until she has some cake. I loved the expression on Jen’s face when she heard Jack’s voice. She turns around and says oh my gosh, it is you. They hug. Abby says she knew he would come home to them. Jen still can’t believe it and says it’s you and Jack smiles and says yes it’s me. Jack tells Jen he missed her so much and she tells him the same. Jack has a flashback to Madison and he touches the side of Jen’s face. She asks him what is wrong. He says it’s you, it’s really you. Jen is confused and Jack says it’s a long story and he’ll tell her all about it but first he wants to do this. He dips her and kisses her and Abby smiles.
Jen and Abby want to know all the details but Jack wants to savour the moment. . Jack says he has been dreaming of this moment every single minute he was gone he just thought it would be at home and not in the hospital. Jen asks how he knew they were there and he says Mickey told him. She asked if he saw the baby and he says no, he just ran out of there. He tells Abby he’s really sorry that the people in the car with her died but he is so grateful that she is going to be okay. She tells him she never felt better and starts getting out bed saying they should go home. Jack says get back into bed young lady… and then he pauses and says you really are a young lady and wonders what happened to his little girl. Jen says your little girl turned 17 today. Jack tells Abby that Maggie sent her cake with him so they could light the candles and she could blow them out and make a wish. Abby says my wish already came true. Jen smiles and says mine too. Jack is on one side of Abby and Jen on the other – it’s so cute. Jack says he will never be separated from them again. Never, never, never.
Abby and Jen tell Jack he has to at least tell them something. He says Tony DiMera held him captive in a castle in Europe. Jen thought he was dead. Jack says he wasn’t but he is now. He tells them about the castle, the fire and the explosions. Jack says that he came home with 3 other people, Roman, Marlena and Cassie. He thinks that Tony had Victor and Caroline in the castle as well but he doesn’t think they made it out. He says that Tony and Bart are dead. Jack says it was a miracle we made it out alive. Maggie hears the ‘we’ and wants to know who he is referring to him. Maggie says she came back from the dead so nothing would surprise her. Jack says that Roman and Kate and John and Marlena are probably having a reunion of their own right now.
Abby agrees with Maggie’s assessment that Jack coming home was the best present she could have gotten. Mickey brings in Jack Jr and says he didn’t want to be left out and I’m sure I heard him say ‘dada’. The joy on Jack’s face when he sees his son is so touching. He can’t believe how big he has gotten – he remembers him as only being this big (he uses hand measurements…LOL). He takes the baby and kisses him on the forehead and says ‘Jack’ I’m your ‘dada’. The Devereaux family is gathered around Abby – the baby is just so cute as he looks from one to the other and then smiles. Mickey and Maggie smile and touch foreheads.
Sigh… I really loved those scenes.
As for the rest of the show – I just couldn’t get too excited about it. They’re really playing up John and Kate’s ‘love’ before the reunions actually happen. What I found strange is that Roman and Marlena were told not to leave the terminal until Shane could talk to them telling me that Shane knows they are alive. Yet John tells Kate not to worry because Shane assured him that the ISA would intercept the plane carrying the 4 mouseketeers (my word – not John’s) when it lands. Why wouldn’t have Shane told John that Roman and Marlena alive? Another case of sloppy writing.
Here’s a short recap of the goings on at the airport.
The John and Kate stuff was icky. John wants to make their engagement official but she is stilling wearing her rings. She takes them off and says Roman is in the past. I hate when John calls her Katie girl…yuck. She’s worried that Belle might not accept her especially if her and Philip break up. He says she’ll be alright when she sees how happy your make her father. Kate wishes that Belle would realise that her and Philip could be happy if she would only give him a chance. John tells her one step at a time – first Philip has to come home and he’s going to see to it that all of them come home. John says lets go home…Kate likes the sound of that. However, John needs to be off his feet so he leaves his cane behind and they go into the lounge. He says he and Marlena used to come in here before every flight – flashback. Kate asks if he is alright. He just needs to get off his feet for a while. He says they can celebrate their engagement and then says to Kate you probably don’t feeling like celebrating. She says her boys would want her to celebrate because they want her to be happy. She thinks she focused so much on making sure her children were happy because she didn’t think she would ever be happy again. He orders the finest champagne. He tells Kate that he is going to spend the rest of his life loving her…yuck.
Marlena stops and tells Roman, you were right (for stopping her from interrupting the kissing couple). They’re going at it again. They’re probably going straight to the Jetway Inn. Roman says the battery on the satellite phone is dead. Marlena thinks that maybe the couple will let them use a cell phone. Roman doesn’t want to call. Marlena is surprised by this until he explains that he just doesn’t think they should tell Kate and John they are alive over the telephone. He says it will be enough of a surprise seeing us in person. Marlena adds especially if they’ve moved on with each other. Roman says that John loves her and Kate loves and nothing is going to change that. He says lets go home. Marlena is so happy to be heading home but unfortunately they get stopped and told to wait for a call from Shane Donovan. Roman suggests they go into the Lounge and have a drink. Marlena wants to know how they’re going to pay for them – with her good looks. Roman says he keeps forgetting. They decide to go up there and wait in comfort. One of the guys working there is an ex-detective who is on disability because of a shootout. Apparently Roman saved his life. Roman borrows twenty bucks from him. Marlena says John always used to bring her here – nice made up flashback of them there before leaving on their honeymoon. (A continuation of the f/b John had when he and Kate entered the Lounge). Roman reminds her that she was there with him. Marlena doesn’t remember that. Flashback to when he was guarding her from the Salem Strangler…lol – they had to keep that really fuzzy. Roman says that she had a lot of firsts with him and not John up to and including marriage. Marlena looks a little uncomfortable with that statement. The bartender makes an announcement that there are two couples celebrating – one couple celebrating 50 years of marriage and one couple that just got engaged. He tells them to stand up and take a bow. Everyone claps. Roman and Marlena don’t see the one couple. Roman says there is something familiar about that couple, I feel like I know them. Marlena says one way to find out - we could go over and congratulate them. They get up and Roman looks surprised and says you and points his finger.
Clinic: This must be to give Chloe and Nicole something to do while Brady is out of time – it’s boring filler because it’s all repetitive. Nancy keeps trying to convince Chloe not to go through with the risky surgery because Brady loves her for who she is on the inside. She brings up how he was there for her when she lost her hair because of the chemo treatments. Chloe gives the same old answer. Chloe is given a sedative and Nancy leaves to go home. Chloe has a dream about Brady being there to take her bandages off. Her face is horribly disfigured and she starts crying and hides her face in a pillow. Brady tells her he loves her and kisses her and gives her the mirror again – no scars. Nicole is still prowling around the nurse’s station. She objects when she is told by the night nurse that she’s going to take her off the schedule. Nicole gives her a sob story about needing money for her sick mother to pay for nursing care. Nancy sees Nicole with the chart and comments about the color-coding. The other nurse is concerned about how bad Nicole’s voice sounds all of a sudden. Nancy says if you’re sick you can’t be in the operating room. Nicole says it’s just allergies, she’s not contagious. Nancy says okay and leaves. The other nurse admires Nicole for working surgery – she doesn’t have the stomach for it. After the nurse graphically describes the surgery Nicole isn’t feeling too good. It ends with Nicole holding the scalpel outside of Chloe’s room saying you give me no choice. I may go to hell for this but at least I’ll have Brady when I’m here on earth.
Previews: Snarky Belle to Mimi – Kate isn’t a bit worried about Shawn. She would trade Shawn’s life for Philip’s in a heartbeat. Hmmm…another case of the pot calling the kettle black. Kate is as worried about Shawn as Belle was when Shawn’s memory returned – didn’t she run to “poor” Jan’s side without thinking twice about what Shawn could be going through? Confrontational Billie to Bo – Don’t talk to me about our daughter. She could be lying in there bleeding to death right now. Hope to Patrick – Something is going on between him and Billie and he doesn’t want me to know about it. Jack attacking and punching Patrick yelling take your hands off my wife. Jen rushes to Patrick (who Jack flattened…LOL) and calls out his name.

Pat’s Spoilers
This will be another quick report. I’m running late again tonight – sorry.
The best part of today’s show was Deidre Hall. The scenes where Marlena reunites with John are magical thanks to Ms Hall. And of course – Jack…sigh!
My rant: Do JER and Corday really think having Patrick and Hope talking about how Salem is known for its great couples is going to make up for the fact that Reilly has systemically ruined all the couples on the show and destroyed history? And having Mrs. Kiriakis spouting dialogue practically verbatim from what most of us have said to prove that they surf the net is so obvious it’s pathetic. How many of us have called Kate a hypocrite for railing at Belle about the sanctity of marriage in one breath and encouraging Billie to break up Bo and Hope’s marriage in the other? Sanctimonious Belle is the last person to talk about the ‘sanctity of marriage’.
Dumb and Dumber: Billie and Bo are outside the house their guns drawn. Bo tries to talk sense to Billie but it’s like talking to a brick wall. He tells her the best way to care for Georgia is to care for herself. Billie is upset with him and tells him that Georgia could be inside hurt. Of course when Bo persists on his slow but cautious plan Billie turns it all on Hope. As far as Billie is concerned Bo let Hope convince him this was all a DiMera plot. Bo tells Billie that Hope is right. They need to think about what brought them there – a clue handed to them, not one they found on their own. Billie accuses Bo of wishing that Georgia was dead and then she just takes off and Bo wonders if he is talking to himself. They bust the door down but the house is deserted, the furniture all covered with dust clothes. They search the house but come up empty. Billie is disappointed but this somehow is proof to Bo that Georgia is alive. They are about to leave when they hear a sound. Bo urges Billie to approach slowly but she hears “mama” and she rushes in. There is just a doll hanging there or sitting on a shelf (to dark to tell). Bo says the doll didn’t make the sound someone is in the house. Billie takes a step and falls through a trap door into a pit.
Hospital: Patrick and Hope return. Hope is wondering where Bo is and still feeling guilty. Patrick tries to convince her once again that this wasn’t her fault. She’s worried that Jen won’t be able to forgive her. Patrick believes Jen was just upset and didn’t mean what she said. Patrick tries to cheer her up by bringing up the “Salem is known for its couples” story. Hope lists off couples like Tom and Alice, John and Marlena, Steve and Kayla, Roman and Marlena and Jack and Jen. He says and you and Bo. He wonders about Marlena being married to Roman and then John. Hope tells him what happened. Then she goes on about Bo and Billie and gets upset again. She calls home and there is no answer. He tells her to go get her cell phone from Jen’s room – Bo probably left her a message. She looks inside and sees the back of a man’s head and says she doesn’t want to disturb them because the doctor’s with Abby right now. Hope has a bad feeling that Bo is off with Billie somewhere. Patrick thinks they might have gone home.
I loved the Devereaux family scenes. Jack is being Jack again. He has Abby beaming as he describes the instant connect baby Jack had with him…LOL! I think Abby smiled through the entire episode today. Jen says she is going to take him so he can get some sleep. He says he’s not going anywhere, if Jen is staying with Abby so he is. He says they are going to be together always. Abby says so much happened while he was away like the Red Sox winning the World Series. When Jack finds out there is no hockey season he tells Abby to stop…LOL! He lights her candles and they all blow them out. Jen goes to get some forks and plates. She sees Patrick and Hope. Hope asks if Abby is alright because she saw the doctor in the room. Jennifer says it’s Jack. Hope can’t believe it. Patrick looks shocked. He asks Jen where Jack’s been. Jen says she doesn’t know and she doesn’t care. He’s home to stay now. Inside the room Jack and Abby use their fingers to lick the icing. Jack teases Abby about how he’s going to be her college roommate and join her sorority as the team mascot. Abby has a million questions and he tells her he has a million answers but for now all he wants to do is this and leans over and kisses her. They lie head to head on the pillow; Jack has his eyes closed as Abby rambles on. She innocently mentions Patrick and Jack’s eyes open quickly. Abby says that Jennifer depended on Patrick and she had the feeling that her mother was beginning to like having Patrick around. Outside the room Patrick is standing with his arm around Jennifer as Jennifer and Hope are talking about Jack. Jack charges out and flattens Patrick and tells him he has to deal with him now.
Miss High and Mighty and Mimi: I found their scenes to be a waste of airtime. I would have much rather had more of Jack, Jennifer and Abby then listen to preachy Belle refer to Kate as a selfish witch. The saying ‘it takes one to know one’ fits perfectly. Belle continues to whine about how she can’t believe her father would have Kate move in with him permanently. Belle tells Mimi that Kate thinks she is a bitch – well she thinks Kate is one too. Geez – I can’t believe both Kate and Belle think the same way I do. Every time Mimi talks about Rex and how worried she is self-centered Belle has to bring the conversation back to her and her pain. Cue the tears as she talks about she misses her mother. Mimi wonders if Shawn will tell Phil that he and Belle have gotten back together before they get back to Salem. Mimi gets the standard look from Belle. Belle just wants them all to come home because she lost her mother this year (huh??? This year??? I don’t think so) and she couldn’t stand to lose Shawn, Philip and Brady…snivel, snivel.
Airport: The first half of the show is just a bunch of near misses between the 4 mismatched people. I could have really done without John practically devouring Kate in public shortly before he sees Marlena. Roman knows the couple celebrating their 50th anniversary. Of course the Judge and his wife are stunned to see him alive. When he tells them they were held prisoner by Tony DiMera the judge’s wife comments that she thought he was mauled to death by a tiger. Roman says they will catch up later. He and Marlena go to the bar. Roman remembers how much he wanted to kiss her the first time he brought her there. Marlena says she really wanted him to. Roman kisses her. Marlena kisses him back but then abruptly pulls back and tells Roman that it can never happen again. He apologises and says he just got caught up in the memories. Kevin tells them that the call will be coming through in about 10 minutes. Marlena can’t wait she really wants to see John.
I’m not going to go into the reunions. Bev’s Day Ahead pictures says it all. The Kate and Roman one I wasn’t too into especially with John’s ring flashing on Kate’s finger as she kept caressing his face and as she kissed him.
Global TV didn’t show any previews today for some reason.
******************************
Friday Apr 29
Janice’s Spoilers
Airport: The Four Wife/Husband Swappers
John agrees that a lot has happened since Marlena and Roman have been gone. He wants to know what happened to them. Roman talks about the Japanese trawler taking them captive. John remembers seeing it. He is also told about Tony still being alive and holding them prisoner in his castle. John has a very hard time believing that Tony didn’t die and an even harder time believing that he is now dead at last.
John talks about that “bastard half-brother of his” and the terrible things he has done. Kate says she is just happy that Marlena and Roman are safe (I guess that explains the weird looks she keeps giving John... sigh...) Roman tells them that Jack and Cassie made it back alive as well. Kate wants to go and see her but he wants to wait until morning and take Rex with them....cue more looks between John and Kate. Roman sees it this time and wants to know what is wrong. John tells him that Rex has gone away on business.
Marlena asks John about Brady, Belle, and Sami. She asks if Sami worked out her wedding problems with Lucas and John asks how she knows about it. Marlena says “Tony.” Roman tells both John and Kate how Tony tortured them with bad news...etc... We get a feedback to Roman and Marlena watching the live feed of John and Kate making “rug love.”
John wants to hear the details of Tony’s death. He still doesn’t believe it. Marlena tells him about the whole castle being on fire and collapsing. Roman adds that it exploded and there is no way Tony and his goons could have survived. John says it’s just what they deserved. Marlena gives him the sad news that they think Victor and Caroline were trapped inside and unable to escape. John commiserates with Roman about his mother.
John suggests that they all head back to the penthouse because there is a lot to catch up on. Roman kisses Kate’s hand and notices the ring isn’t the one he gave her. Kate gives John a pleading look and he tells them that he gave it to her and that they are engaged to be married. Marlena looks devastated.
Air bound Plane: Boys of Summer
Brady explains to Lucas that he was able to get extra gear in the black market. He tells the others that they are going to rescue Philip at any costs. Rex picks a fight with Shawn over his real reasons for going after Philip. Things get pretty heated...yada...yada... (someone tell me why Rex is goes hot and cold so often on this issue???) Brady tells them to sit the hell down and they need to be a team.
Rex talks about Mimi being upset that he’s gone. Shawn tells them that Belle thinks he abandoned her again. Another rant about Sami this time with Brady, Lucas and Rex involved. Rex thinks Lucas should give Sami another chance. Brady tells Lucas that Sami has been doing stupid things for years. Lucas comments on Nicole’s evil ways as well. Lucas says Sami is pathological and he isn’t giving her any more chances. He says he has his son and that’s enough. Then he starts ragging on Shawn.
The pilot comes in and tells them that he can’t land the plane so they will have to jump. He says that when they come back he will land and pretend he has engine trouble. Rex is freaking out. Shawn says he jumped during his first year of college. Lucas says he did it during military school. Rex admits to never having jumped before. The pilot tells him that jumping doesn’t hurt...it’s the landing that can kill you...lol...
It’s time... Brady gets them together to say a prayer. Shawn jumps first yelling...see you boys on the ground. Lucas goes next yelling...Geronimo. Rex just screams and jumps. Brady is last and murmurs...hang in there Phil...coming to get ya. Next we see them on the ground. Brady tells them to stay put while he does a little reconnaissance to make sure they are where they should be. He tells them to take off without him if he isn’t back in twenty minutes. Shawn walks a bit with him and wishes him good luck.
Philip’s Prison: Phil, Stan, and guard
A bearded Phil begs the guard for water telling him that he is dehydrated and could die. The guard tells him that’s the point. He wants answers but Noble Phil says all he’ll get is name...rank...etc... He tells the guard he would rather die than tell him anything else. Stan finds the place and in Sami’s voice mumbles that this is the price he has to pay for revenge.
Phil mumbles about having to get out and his promise to Belle to come home. We get a feedback of their wedding toast in Belle’s bedroom...etc...etc... The guard tells him if he stops talking he’ll give him water. Phil insults him and gets cuffed. Stan knocks on the door and the guard tells him to come in aiming a gun at him. He asks Stan who the hell he is and what he is doing there. Stan asks him if he didn’t get a call, email, fax... etc... and tries to convince him that he is working for the same man. He gets chained next to Phil for his troubles.
Stan tries to get loose. Phil warns him not to. Stan moans that he can’t die there. We get a sweet flashback of Sami and Lucas dancing and the bed collapsing. Stan starts crying and Phil commiserates about remembering the best things in life....Belle. Stan (in Sami’s voice) mumbles sarcastically that her sister would rather see Phil die. Philip tells Stan that it is just a matter of time until the bastards decide to kill them both. Stan wishes he had broken the news a little more gently... lol...
Hospital: Jack, Jennifer, Hope, and Patrick
A repeat of Jennifer telling Hope that Bo took off with Billie and Jack attacking Patrick. Jennifer wants to know what is wrong with Jack. He asks her how she could let a snake like Patrick back into her life and starts fighting with Patrick again. A hospital security guard grabs Jack and Hope flashes her badge to calm things down. The guard leaves and Jack tells Jennifer that Lockhart played her and is working for Tony. He goes on to talk about how he came back to Salem and got caught by Tony and the fake Jennifer and blames it all on Patrick. Jennifer clues in that this is why he keeps touching her face to make sure she is real and not wearing a mask. Hope asks Jack if he has any proof and he admits he doesn’t. He demands that Patrick admit his guilt. Patrick tells him he is wrong.
Jack tells them that Marlena, Roman and Cassie are alive and home in Salem. Hope asks about Victor and Caroline but he tells him that he doesn’t think they survived. She decides to give Patrick the benefit of the doubt until there is proof otherwise and tells them that she has to find Bo so she can give him the sad news about his parents in person. She asks Jennifer again about an address and Jack interrupts saying that Lockhart should know where they are. Patrick denies knowing anything. Jack defends Billie but Hope gets angry and Jennifer tells him to stay out of it. Hope wants to know why all the men have to be knights in shining armor where Billie is concerned.
Abandoned house: Bobsey Twins
We get a repeat of Billie falling through the trapdoor and Bo yelling for her to wake up. She does and he gets mad at her...he’s sick and tired of her ignoring his warnings to take things carefully and not rush into danger...he’s mad about how they seem to almost wind up dead every time. Billie could care less just as long as she can get out.
Bo ties up sheets? and throws the rope down to her. He starts to pull her up while she makes wisecracks and calls him her knight in shining armor. They both fall down and Bo is unconscious. Billie begs him rather lamely to wake up.
Previews:
Billie tells Bo to wake up because she needs him... His head is bleeding.
Brady tells the others that they have to move fast or Phil will die.
Philip hears Stan talking to himself about getting in over “her” head and wants to know what he is talking about.
I think Patrick asks Hope if a part of her doesn’t wish that Georgia was dead.
