Pat’s Spoilers
My apologies – there is not a lot in this show worth talking about so consequently this is going to be a very short report.
Carrie & Lucas: They arrive at Chez Rouge and see Eugenia. Lucas preens (gag) – he tries to sound cute and funny – he wonders if he isn’t paying her enough – she’s making him look bad by moonlighting. Eugenia flatters him and says she’s just helping Maggie out. She didn’t notice the dinner on her calendar so they must have some last minute work to do. Lucas tells her they are on date – Carrie beams. Carrie excuses herself and Eugenia congratulates Lucas on moving in on her. Carrie runs into a former co-worker of hers that heard she is dating Kate Robert’s son. She goes on to say that she always thought that Carrie and Austin were soul mates. Carrie corrects her and says she is out with Kate’s other son Lucas. Oops. Carrie and Lucas are at their table – she’s nervous, he’s nervous – I’m bored to tears … Yawn. He tells her that she was his first love – than goes on to say he broke a dating rule telling her that. He’s so used to following what needs to be done in business. Carrie tells him that she knows he is just as honest in his business deals as he just was with her unlike someone else she knows – she glares in Austin’s direction. She asks Lucas to dance.
Sami & Austin: Sami finds Will’s cell phone amongst the cushions of her couch. She notices that Will has one text message from Lucas. Sami being Sami decides to read it. She finds out that Lucas and Carrie are going out to dinner at Chez Rouge. Austin comes back after a marathon meeting with a couple of their investors. He’s starved. Sami says they will have to go – after he missed dinner yesterday she didn’t bother going shopping for groceries today. They have to go out. Austin doesn’t want to go out so she says she’ll find the take out menus. Austin apologises and said she has been stuck inside all day – they should go out. He tells her to pick the place. Sami turns her back to him as she holds the cordless phone – she doesn’t really call anyone – just let’s Austin think she is. She tells him all the restaurants she has called and says they can’t get in until after 10. She doesn’t really want to go to Alice’s – she’s sure there was something in her chilli the last time she ate there. They should just stay home. Austin says lets go to Chez Rouge. Sami smiles and thinks to herself “it was his idea to go there and when he sees Carrie and Lucas together he’ll know its over.” They get to the restaurant and Sami and Eugenia exchange insults. LOL – Austin says “The evenings getting off to a great start.” Eugenia takes them to their table. They see Carrie and Lucas. Sami suggests they leave. Austin says no they are going to stay and enjoy their dinner. Sami says great we’ll just ignore the fact that they are on a date. Austin doesn’t think they are. Sami says maybe he’s right – it could be a late business dinner. Eugenia takes great pleasure in telling Sami that it’s a date, Lucas told her so. Austin doesn’t look happy.
Billie is on the phone with Roman asking him to put out an APB on him – she’s very worried. (Now this ticks me off – why is Roman taking orders from her – why is he doing Billie favours – why isn’t he asking why Bo isn’t with Hope and why isn’t he telling Billie that Hope is the only one who has the right to ask for favours like that … sigh). Chelsea comes into the room dressed to go out. Billie doesn’t think she should go out. It would look like she had no remorse. Chelsea whines that she feels her bad for what she did. She has nightmares about it – she just thought going out watching other people have fun would take her mind off of things. She lays on the guilt trip (which she does throughout the entire episode) saying that she isn’t entitled to have fun. Billie says she didn’t say that – she just wants Chelsea to think about what it would look like to the DA and the judge. Chelsea agrees she is right. She says they can play Poker – she just learned how. We get flashbacks of Billie and Patrick playing poker. When Billie suggests a different guy, Chelsea asks why. Billie tells her. Chelsea says you miss the guy don’t you – she gives the fake apology saying it was all her fault. Billie says it wasn’t but she does miss him – she lists all his good qualities. Chelsea still doesn’t see why she was so hot and bothered by him – Billie says probably for the same reason you were. Chelsea concedes that Patrick is hot – but he’s not the only guy out there like her Dad. Billie says Patrick was right – her moral compass is whacked. She tells Chelsea Bo is married. The only reason she wants them together is because she thinks that will help keep her out of jail. Chelsea says there are other reasons. Bo and Hope are separated – he’s all alone – he’s needs someone – he needs her.
Billie tells Chelsea to stop playing on her feelings for Bo. That’s wrong. Chelsea doesn’t think she is doing anything wrong. She says that Bo shouldn’t be with Hope – she threw him out – she doesn’t trust him. She’ll never take him back now. Billie says yeah because I did what you wanted and crawled into bed with him. Chelsea says she only did it to keep her out of prison. She doesn’t see why Billie shouldn’t go after the only man she has ever loved – it’s not like she hasn’t been a lot of men. She continues on saying that Billie was a porn start and a woman that slept with anyone for money. Billie is really hurt and angry – she can’t believe Chelsea would talk to her like that. Chelsea whines and plays it to her advantage saying if she went to jail she’d miss out on getting to know her better. She wants her family together. Billie says we were never a family – you’re not in the same position as children of divorce. The phone rings – its Roman telling her where Bo was spotted. Billie leaves. Chelsea is watching the shopping channel. She’s looking for her credit card hoping it isn’t maxed out so she can order something. She finds a picture of Zack – she says she is really sorry – she knows he would understand – she’s doing the right thing. Let me see if I got this right – Zack would understand that Chelsea destroying his mother and his family is the RIGHT thing???? Yikes! I think Patrick was wrong – her moral compass isn’t out of whack – the chick doesn’t have one … sigh.
Bo throws an empty beer bottle on the pavement. He wonders how Hope could just leave town and not tell him where she is going. He takes off on his bike. He’s driving in the fog remembering saying goodbye to Zack. Two cops outside their cruiser hear a motorcycle. One of them says it’s Detective Brady – there’s an APB out on him. They call it. Roman says he’ll send someone after him. The cops hope he slows down – he’s looking for an accident at that speed in this fog. We see Bo – and then a deer and we hear screeching tires. Billie is looking for Bo – spots his bike and pulls off the road. She’s walking in the trees on a path looking for him when she hears a gunshot. Bo is drinking and aims his gun at a row of beer bottles and fires. He misses the bottles but hears a scream. He gets up and finds an unconscious bleeding Billie.
Patrick: While on the plane he has a flashback of Billie telling him it’s over and then another one of them playing strip poker. He thought that the next time he came down to the island he would be bringing her with him. Now that is never going to happen. They arrive and he’s off the plane before anyone else. Patrick thanks his friend Mario for meeting him. Mario wonders why he didn’t bring a woman with him. Women are a sore subject with Patrick right now. He needed to be alone and this place is a good place for that.
Hope remembers seeing Bo and Billie in bed together. She also recalls her conversation with Shawn about the family that will never be again. She is crying. A woman sits down next to her and introduces herself as Elaine Whitman. She notices the tears and asks Hope what is wrong. Hope tells her that she really doesn’t want to hear her life story. Elaine suggests that they get together while on the island. Hope has a flashback to her and Bo – after his talk with Shawn on the rooftop last summer. She tells him she doesn’t want to lose him – he promises her that he will always put her and the boys first … Elaine tells Hope that People magazines next Sexiest Man Alive is at the back of the plane (she’s referring to Patrick). When Elaine turns around again Patrick is gone. Hope goes to the information desk and asks about a rental – something remote- off the beaten path – on the beach. The agent shows her a picture of a place – the owner rents it out when he’s not there. Hope takes it. One of the locals is set to take Hope to her rental. He gives her an exotic flower. Hope says it’s very beautiful and asks if it some type of orchid. He tells her that it’s a hybrid – it signifies rebirth and redemption. It only blooms once a year for a very short time – there’s a legend that goes with the flower. He asks her if she wants to hear about it. Hope doesn’t respond so he takes that as a yes and proceeds to tell her that if a woman receives the flower from a native of the island she will find love during her stay. He has never seen it fail. Hope is sceptical and says I bet you give this to all the women that arrive on the island alone. The guy says it is very rare and he repeats that she will find love on the island.
Preview: Shawn to Mimi – Are you getting cold feet about marrying me? (We see Belle skulking in the shrubbery eavesdropping). Hope to Patrick – Bo’s moved on with someone else so there is no marriage for me to go home to. Lexie envisions Tek doing a striptease and then coming over to her table. Frankie to Jen (there are fireworks going off) – I thought it was us. Jen – Me, too. Frankie – I guess we’re not the only ones celebrating tonight. (They’re about to kiss).

Pat’s Spoilers
Chez Rouge: Frankie has Jen’s eyes covered as he leads her to her surprise. She is very happy with his choice – a private dining room at Chez Rouge. She tells him that she was feeling down and she didn’t know what she needed. They are enjoying their evening – some small talk about winter. Frankie asks if Hope is going to be gone long. She doesn’t know – she was so devastated by everything that happened with Bo and then after the last thing that happened. She stops and says it’s personal and she shouldn’t say anything. Frankie understands. Jen says she was with Hope so it affected her too so she tells him what happened. She can’t imagine Bo and Hope not being together. He says people used to say that about them. Jen says they were very young. He says young and in love – he guesses that love can fade away. Jen doesn’t believe that. She thinks true love never fades away – you hold a special place in your heart for that person that meant so much to you. Frankie turns on some music – they dance and kiss. They hear the sound of fireworks and go out to watch them. Frankie says someone else is celebrating tonight. Jen turns to him – they kiss.
Alice’s: There is so much going on here – I’ll do the best I can with it.
Bonnie thanks a worker for getting the place ready for Mimi’s bridal shower and Shawn’s pool bachelor party. Calliope approaches and tries to say something to fit with the theme of the restaurant. Bonnie looks at her as if she is just a little bit strange. Tek approaches Lexie and asks her to go away with him. She says stop it. Abe asks if there is a problem. Lexie has a flashback to desk sex and then tells Abe she is upset with Tek for bringing Abe to the party. Abe tells her that Shawn is like family – he wouldn’t miss it. Tek and Abe head off to shoot a game of pool. Roman approaches Kate. He’s surprised to see her there but there are a lot of men around so it’s a good place for her. She says because he dumped her that doesn’t mean she is sitting at home pining after him. She’s doing fine besides she’s here for Mimi’s shower. Roman asks her what she is about to now. Victor approaches and tells Roman that he hopes he isn’t harassing his date. Philip and Belle arrive. Philip conveniently remembers he has to do something so he needs to go in the back. Belle hears Shawn and Mimi approach so she hides behind the shrubs. Mimi can’t believe they’re having this party – its so last minute. Shawn thinks its good practice for their wedding. Mimi flashes back to an argument with her mother about telling the truth. Shawn takes her hands and asks her what is wrong. He asks her if she is worried that they’re not going to pull everything off in time. She says no. Shawn teases her and smirks and asks her if she is getting cold feet about marrying me.
Mimi says of course not. She asks where that expression cold feet even came from. Shawn says don’t try and change the subject do you want to marry me. She says of course she does. She’s just not crazy about this bridal shower – you get all these gifts and you have to act excited about them no matter what they are. He says she will be fine. She gets excited when the sun comes up – no one does that. She smiles and says when she wakes up next to him she has a lot to get excited about. He goes … ahhh … they laugh – he says they should go inside. Belle is set to follow them when Caroline stops her and tells her not to do this to herself. Take it from someone who has been through this. Bonnie and Calliope are talking about the shower. Bonnie says this will be the best bridal shower. Calliope agrees even though she wouldn’t have pictured it in this location. Bonnie brings up the fact that she was talking about Belle and Shawn being together when it’s Mimi who is marrying Shawn. Calliope says she shouldn’t have said anything. She thinks Mimi is lovely. Caroline tells she knows its hard for her – the man she loves is going to marry another woman. She says don’t make the mistake I did. Stay faithful to your husband and let Shawn go. Belle sneers and says she wants to do what is right but she loves Shawn too much to let him go. Caroline stares at her in shock.
Mimi is happy to see Belle. They hug. They make jokes about the word matron. Mimi says they’re going to be passing out the lacy lingerie soon – I’m so glad you got here … Calliope is at the microphone. She says they’re about to have their holiday themed bridal shower. Caroline approaches Belle and says she is proud of her for doing the right thing. Calliope has Mimi with her and is talking – Bonnie is not having a good time. She knows how to liven up the party. Victor tells Kate that he knows how protective she is of Philip but not telling Shawn the truth is playing God and none of them have the right to do that. She says that doesn’t sound like the Victor she knows. She tells him the shower is starting. She reminds him of his promise not to say anything about Shawn being Claire’s father – if he does he is going to be breaking AUSTIN’s heart. LOL – I guess she has a hard time keeping her kids straight in her mind. Philip sits down and asks his Dad what she is going on about now. He’s the happiest he has ever been and nothing can change that.
Shawn and Roman hug. Shawn says it’s strange to be having a bachelor party without his Dad around. It’s even stranger that his mother isn’t going to be at the wedding. Roman tells him he can postpone it. Shawn says he couldn’t do that to Mimi. Besides Mom told him how hard it is for her to go back to St. Luke’s with everything that happened to Zack. He can’t put her through that. Shawn goes on to say that Grandma Caroline swore that both his parents would be sitting in the same pew at his wedding but he doesn’t think that is going to happen. Roman says his parents love each other very much. He doesn’t think this will keep them apart. Shawn doesn’t blame his mother for going away. His Dad should have never given Chelsea the keys that night but regardless how he feels about that he still wants his parents together. Roman says he’s sure they will be. Calliope says after dessert Mimi is going to open the fourth of July present but she’s saving the fireworks for the wedding night. Calliope tells Mimi that she ran into her friend Heather – she doesn’t know if she invited her or if she invited herself but she’s so excited … Mimi says Heather from high school. Why would she come – I hate her and she hates me. Heather prances over and says when she heard that Mimi Lockhart had bagged Shawn the hunk Brady she had to come and see it for herself. She never thought Shawn all star everything would ever settle for second best. Mimi is shocked. Calliope tells Mimi that Shawn is madly in love with her. Heather says I doubt it. She tells Belle that they all thought her and Shawn were the golden couple. They all wanted to be her. How did she let Shawn get away? Caroline picks up the hat made of bows and says she never knew there were so many romantic holidays. Bonnie tells her to put that away the bridal shower is about to get a hell of lot hotter. The stripper comes out. The Lexie/Tek fantasy plays out next. Lexie goes outside and Tek follows her. Tek puts on the moves – Lexie makes a show of resisting but before you know it they are kissing. Tek picks her up and carries her to the car. Abe comes outside calling for Lexie. Calliope is not happy about this turn of events and let’s Bonnie know about it. An argument ensues. Calliope says before she leaves Bonnie should try the cake – she hits Bonnie in the face with the cake.
Calliope can’t believe she did that – but she’s never worked with an animal like her she says to Bonnie. Bonnie tells her to shut up and hits Calliope in the face with some cake. Calliope says – good bakery. Heather tells Mimi too bad if you can’t take the truth, Lockhart. Belle is the one that deserves to be with Shawn, not you. Mimi walks away. Belle finally opens her mouth and says wait (but not loud enough that Mimi would actually hear her). Heather stops her and says don’t get me wrong, Philip is totally hot but you and Shawn had the real thing. Belle smirks and sticks her nose up in the air and says she’s right. Shawn comes along and says was that Heather from high school. What was she … Belle cuts him off and says can we go somewhere and talk before I lose my mind. (Sorry, but that ship sailed a long time ago!). Shawn just gives that look – LOL! Mimi tells Bonnie it’s not working. Bonnie thinks it’s about the party. Mimi says it’s my life, Shawn’s life. She loves him too much to keep lying to him about the baby. He needs to know the truth. Tek and Lexie are in the back seat having sex. The vehicle is rocking. Abe approaches and says No … No.
Bo & Billie: First two scenes – Billie dreams that Bo is waking her up and that she pulls him into a passionate kiss that he returns. When she does come to Bo apologises. She makes a joke and he says he shot her she should be mad at him. He picks her up and takes her to the fire. He asks her what she is doing there. She tells him she was looking for him. She asks why he took off. He says he feels like his life his over. Zack is dead, his wife is gone – got on a plane and went God knows where. Billie says she’ll be back the two of them are never apart long. She probably needed to get away for a while to mourn the death of Zack. Bo drinks and says they should be doing that together. He would never have left her. He might have trouble forgiving her for something but he’d never just take off. He goes on to say that they’re soul mates. Bo will never forgive himself for letting Chelsea drive and keeping the truth from Hope but she took off on years of love and commitment. He says if she came back right now he doesn’t know if he would take her back. He hopes that wherever she is she’s happy. Billie doesn’t think he means that – he’s upset. They’ve been together forever – they were meant to be – they were fated. Bo says people are together because they work at it. Billie says or because the other person means the world to you. He says he used to mean that to Hope – but not any more or she wouldn’t have got on the plane. He feels she should know he’s worried about her. She’s closed herself off from him. He would have spent the rest of his life giving her back a little of the happiness that she lost when Zack died. She knows how he loves her – she knows he would never be unfaithful to her. Billie has a flashback to Hope finding them in bed together. Billie tells him the situation with Hope is a lot more complicated than he thinks it is. Hope left because of her. Bo says she has no reason to blame herself – she was just trying to keep her daughter out of prison. Billie says yes she does – she did something that was totally unforgivable.
Bo maintains that Hope wouldn’t leave because of anything that Billie did. Billie tries to explain – she goes about it a round about way. She says it’s hard for Hope because they have a daughter together and Billie admits to always trying to keep them apart. Bo gets upset. He says that he and Hope lost a son. Nothing compares to that. He rants on ending with I made a choice and according to her it was the wrong one. He wants to take her to the hospital – he’s hurt enough people lately. Billie can’t find her keys. He says his bike needs work before it can be driven. She tries her cell phone but there’s no signal. He tells her they’ll have to camp out but he has only one sleeping bag – they’ll have to share. Billie has a nightmare about Hope confronting them in the hotel room and Bo telling her that he never wants to see her again. He wakes up and comforts her.
Patrick & Hope: They both arrive separately. He goes out one door, Hope comes in the other. The man repeats the legend of the flower. Hope goes to the bedroom to unpack. She pulls out the family picture and a picture of Zack. She kisses the picture and tells him she misses him. Patrick returns and notices the open bedroom door. Hope says to herself a glass of wine will be nice about now. She exits the bedroom – Patrick is hiding with a knife in his hand. Patrick attacks – they’re surprised to see other. They ask each other what they’re doing there – it’s his place, she rented it. She needed to get away. He asks her if Bo is with her. She says no and she’s not sure she ever wants to see him again. Hope and Patrick are having a glass of wine – he makes a toast to peaceful nights. She says the nights are the worse – this would be when she would be tucking Zack in, reading him a bedtime story … He wants to know if Bo knows where she is. She tells him she needed to get away from everything. When he tries to push more – she stops him and says they were having a nice conversation. She asks him about how he found this place. He tells her that he needed a place to get away from everyone. She says that he must have needed to get away from Billie. He says he had to get away but not from Billie but from her. Hope is shocked.
Hope didn’t think that she had done anything to upset him. He explains his reason – not wanting to come between her and Bo. She feels terrible that he left Salem, his home, because of her. He says he needed to get away. He sees the flower – they talk about the legend. Patrick tells her that it could mean that she will reconnect with an old love. He says that Bo and Hope are kind of a legend in Salem – they have the kind of love that won’t go away. He asks her if she is sure she doesn’t want to get on a plane and go home. She tells him that Bo has moved on so there’s no marriage for her to go home to. Patrick doesn’t think she means that – Bo has been her everything. She says not anymore. That ended when he chose Billie and her daughter over her and their little boy.
Preview: Shawn to Belle (he’s very annoyed) – What is it? Just tell me. Philip – I know exactly what she wants to tell you Shawn. Mimi to Bonnie – He is going to find out because I’m going to tell him. Bonnie – No. Marlena to John – These threats against my husband have to stop and have to stop now. Alex (to himself) – Soon it will all be over and I will finally have my revenge.

Friday Mar 3
Pat’s Spoilers
Alice’s: Tek and Lexie are going at it in the back of Tek’s SUV when Lexie hears Abe’s voice. John comes out and asks if everything is okay. Abe says no and nothing ever will be again. Cut to Lexie’s look of panic. Abe tells John that he doesn’t have a right to feel frustrated but he thought his vision would be back to normal and he could go back to work and do all the things he used to do. His night vision is so bad he might as well be blind. John tells him that these things take time. He asks him what he is doing outside. Abe said he thought he saw Lexie come out but she must have got called to the hospital. John takes him to Chez Rouge for a drink. Tek makes a crude remark that Abe is still as blind as a bat at night. Lexie slaps him. She tells him she can’t do this – but it doesn’t take Tek much to convince her that she can – and she does. They’re basking in the afterglow. Lexie says she won’t do this again. Tek says she won’t be able to stay away. Abe returns and Tek and Lexie duck behind Tek’s SUV. Lexie comes out and lies to Abe that she was at the hospital. He complains about his night vision. She reassures him that it will get better and soon he’ll be back to normal and things will be like they used to be. Tek listens.
Mimi is crying. Bonnie tells her not to care about what someone from high school said. Mimi tells her that Heather said she didn’t deserve Shawn – that he and Belle belong together. Mimi says she is right. Bonnie says she’s just probably jealous – more than likely had a crush on Shawn in high school and he didn’t know she existed. Mimi says kind of like me. Bonnie says nothing like you. You were his best friend and now you are the woman he loves and is going to marry. She tells Mimi to stop crying – this is her bridal shower. (Hmm… one second Bonnie has icing on her cheek – the next second she is pointing out the gift table to Mimi and the icing has suddenly disappeared! Now that’s a miracle!) Bonnie takes Mimi’s hands and tells her that she will have a wonderful future with Shawn. Mimi says and what if he finds out that he’s the father of Belle’s baby and that I knew – he’ll never marry me then or speak to me again. Bonnie says he won’t find out so she has nothing to worry about. Mimi tells Bonnie that he is going to find out because she is going to tell him the truth tonight. Bonnie says no. Belle wants to talk to Shawn alone. He asks her if everything is alright. She says nothing is right. This party has made her see things a lot more clearly and she knows exactly what she needs to do. Shawn looks as if he’s not in the least bit interested in what she has to do or say. Victor and Kate are arguing. Victor is going to tell the truth. Kate doesn’t want him to – think of Philip. Victor is thinking of him – he deserves to know the truth. He won’t let Kate stop him. Philip tells Victor and Kate that he something to say to Shawn and he wants the two of them and everyone here to hear it.
Victor doesn’t think this is something that Philip wants to make public. Phil repeats that he wants everyone to hear it. Shawn asks Belle if she is sure she wants to do this. They’ve already said everything there is to say. Belle doesn’t think so – at least she hasn’t. Shawn asks her what else is there. Philip is at the microphone. Mimi tells Bonnie she has to talk to Shawn now. Bonnie tells her that Philip is about to make a speech – she needs to give him the respect he deserves. Philip says as Shawn’s best friend, best man and best uncle he wants to make a toast. He calls Shawn a lucky bastard – he’s about to marry one of his (Philip’s) girls. He tells Shawn to forget everything he has heard – marriage is amazing – trust him. He then goes on and on singing Belle’s praises. He lists all of the things she did for him – he credits her for saving his life. He then talks about how holding Claire for the first time was the most incredible moment of his life. He knows that Shawn and Mimi will experience what it’s like very soon when they start their family. If they think they are happy now it’s nothing like how they will feel when they have a child. A child will give their life new meaning and a new level of happiness that they never thought was possible. He tells Shawn and Mimi that he loves them very much. They wish them all the best (not Belle, she’s not looking pleased at all), the most wonderful marriage, beautiful family, loving life together because they deserve it. He raises his champagne bottle and says to Shawn and Mimi. Shawn kisses Mimi and moves away. Bonnie tells Mimi that she can’t do it – if she can’t take Philip’s wife and baby away – who knows what it will do to him. Shawn and Philip hug. Shawn thanks him. Philip tells him he knows him and Mimi will go the distance. Shawn smiles and says just like you and Belle. That’s exactly what Philip is talking about. Shawn makes a toast to Belle and Philip – to great friends – he adds and to their goddaughter Claire. Belle beams.
Kate tells Victor that she is thankful that he didn’t say anything. Belle and Claire are Philip’s life. Shawn sees Belle making a beeline to him and sighs heavily. He walks away but Belle pounces on him and says she has to talk to him before he marries Mimi. She has something very important to say. Shawn is annoyed and you can hear it in his voice – he says, what is it? Just tell me. Philip comes up and says he knows what Belle wants to tell him. Belle says you do. Philip has a pretty good idea. The two of them were together for a long time – they almost got married to each other. Philip says Belle wanted to say she’s sorry it didn’t work out for them but he found love with Mimi. They should be with the ones they love. Shawn and Mimi kiss. Philip thinks they make two pretty good couples and this calls for a group hug. Belle latches on to Shawn. Kate tells Victor they have to leave well enough alone – let Philip and Belle be happy, let Shawn and Mimi get married – because she thinks this is the only way the four of them can get through this without being miserable for the rest of their lives. Victor says he won’t tell him for now – there’s too much pain and heartache. Bonnie gives Mimi a hand signal to leave. Mimi tells the group that the party is breaking up – they should leave. Philip goes to get the coats – Mimi goes to talk to her Mom. Belle tells Shawn she needs to talk to him alone – this is the last time she’s going to ask. Mimi tells Bonnie she feels so guilty about keeping this secret so she won’t anymore. Bonnie misunderstands and is relieved. Mimi says you don’t get it, as usual. I’m telling Shawn the truth tonight and she turns and walks away.
The loft: The four get off the elevator. Mimi says goodnight and thanks them for everything – the shower was lovely. Belle and Mimi hug. Shawn says he’ll be right in. Philip goes to pay the babysitter. Shawn says we’re alone now, you can tell me what you wanted to. She wants to meet on the roof. He says no – he won’t do that again. The last time they almost got caught. Belle says it’s very important, it can’t wait. Philip comes out with Claire. Belle makes sickening baby talk – oh yeah, she has an audience – no wonder she takes Claire from Philip. Mimi is inside – she doesn’t know how she is going to tell Shawn. She decides to write a letter and tell him everything that way she can’t chicken out. Belle is on the rooftop. An arm comes around her neck from behind and she starts stroking it and smiling. She says I knew you would come. You and I have to be honest about the way we feel even if it hurts other people. Philip says what are you talking about. Belle stares. Shawn calls out Mimi’s name wondering where she went. He finds an envelope with his name on it in the fruit bow. He says what is this – he pulls the letter out and starts reading it. Mimi watches from the bedroom. She says this is it (she’s crying) – once he reads that letter he’ll know the truth and he’ll leave me –it’ll be all over. Shawn flips to the second and last page of the letter and reads – very intense look on his face – freeze frame ending with a shot of Belle??? crying in the background.
Chez Rouge & Penthouse: Alex and Marlena are having dinner. I will not go into detail on their scenes. Marlena badmouths John and Alex goes along with her. Alex tells her that John won’t bother them again – he’ll get another restraining order. Marlena doesn’t think that will work. Alex tells her that they have to let the courts handle it. Marlena can’t believe she was married to a man like John. Alex refers to John as a monster. They decide they won’t talk about John any more. Marlena excuses herself to go and powder her nose. Marlena overhears John tell Abe that he would kill Alex with his bare hands before letting him hurt Marlena. Marlena tells him to stop threatening her husband. Alex asks if there is a problem. Abe prevents John from attacking Alex a couple of times. Marlena tells Alex that she was telling John that she is intent on renewing her vows with him. They go back to their table. Abe gives John some advice – tells him to go undercover and get the evidence he needs – beat Alex at his own game. While Alex is taking care of the check Marlena starts having flashbacks of John. They return to the penthouse. John is one step ahead of them – he’s already there snooping through drawers. He runs upstairs into Marlena’s bedroom and hides in the closet. He watches as Marlena and Alex say goodnight. Marlena takes a sleeping pill – she pulls out a picture of her and John. When John thinks she is asleep he heads to the window. Marlena calls out to him and tells him she doesn’t want him to go – she’s happy he is there. She says John I still love you.
Preview: Austin to Sami – You are definitely worthy of being loved. They kiss. Lucas to Carrie – To hell with being cautious. I love you Carrie Brady. Marlena to John – I want us to make love. Mimi to Belle and Philip (with Shawn in the background looking down at the letter) – I wrote Shawn a letter and what I’m trying to tell him really affects all four of us. Everything is going to change.

Janice’s Spoilers
Kudos to Jason and Farah for exemplary acting today.
Note: The Shawn and Mimi scenes were keepers for me. There is no way to explain how powerful they were until you watch them for yourselves and decide. An interesting parallel was brought to my attention by a friend. While Mimi was showing the depths of her pain for keeping her secret from Shawn, we saw Shawn wanting desperately to comfort her. While Belle was acting guilty on the rooftop, we saw Philip wanting desperately to comfort her. These are just my views and not intended to inflame or influence anyone else.
I also enjoyed Sami today. I thought Ali did an amazing job of admitting her character’s faults and showing her vulnerability. And in one scene in particular, I thought that Kyle shone as well...again just my personal opinion.
Sami’s Loft: Sami and Austin...& Lucas’s Loft: Lucas and Carrie...
(Because both couple’s scenes were intermixed today, I have decided to go back and forth with them)
Sami and Austin return home and she suggests that they get comfortable and watch a movie. Austin’s computer calendar sounds off and he murmurs Carrie’s name and that he can’t believe he forgot.
Lucas and Carrie get home and he tells her he has a surprise for her. She opens the door and gasps. The apartment has been decorated with balloons and banners for Carrie’s birthday. Lucas tells her that his Aunt Maggie did it for him. She wants to thank Will as well but Lucas tells her he is on an overnight camping trip with friends and they are all alone.
Back in Sami’s apartment, Austin can’t believe he forgot Carrie’s birthday. Sami comes in, having changed into a negligee, and tells him they can send a belated card tomorrow.
Lucas pops open some champagne for Carrie and cider for him. He tells her there is cake in the kitchen and a gallon of almond mocha ice cream in the freezer. She thanks him. He tells her that he might not have sent birthday cards when she was married to Mike, but he will never forget her birthday.
Sami reminds Austin that she is Carrie’s sister and even she forgot. She wants him to relax and enjoy the fire. She goes to get some beers.
Lucas toasts Carrie and new beginnings. Carries toasts the future.
Austin apologizes to Sami for zoning out...he murmurs that it was all over between him and Carrie before it started. Sami wants to know what she can do to make him feel better.
Lucas is glad that Carrie is back and they are working together. He gives her a beautiful pendant necklace for her birthday and to commemorate their first date.
Sami turns on some music that reminds her of Lucas.
Lucas tells Carrie she is perfect and goes to turn on the same music...wants to dance with Carrie.
Austin asks Sami if she is okay. She’s crying now.
Lucas is upset when he hears the song as well.
Sami turns the music off and says it was a bad idea...wipes her tears away. Austin asks her if the song reminded her of Lucas. Sami tells him that they are finished. Austin asks if she is sure. She tells him that it wasn’t her choice but that Lucas and Will hate her. He doesn’t think so and says there could be a chance that they could get back together.
Lucas tells Carrie that there was a time that Sami was his life and he would have given anything to have a future with her.
Sami tells Austin that she has to let go of her dreams and move on.
Carrie tells Lucas that it could still happen and thinks deep down that Sami still wants him. Lucas tells her it doesn’t matter and he just wants to celebrate Carrie’s birthday.
Sami tells Austin that she can’t go back and fix her mistakes or Lucas’s mistakes or his mother’s. She needs to move on. Austin tells her she never has to face it alone and that he will always be there for her anytime she needs him...he is her friend. Sami is moved and thanks him. He decides to go to bed and she decides to stay up for a while. He kisses her cheek and leaves. Sami is in a pensive mood.
Carrie blows out her candles and starts to cry. She tells Lucas she feels tired and just needs to go to bed.
Later Lucas comes out and sees Carrie awake. He makes her some warm milk and it reminds her of how her father used to do that for her. Lucas thinks she has the birthday blues. She admits that life didn’t turn out the way she wanted it to. He feels the same. She wants a baby so badly...her biological clock is ticking. Lucas tells her he would love to have another child...but only if he found the perfect mother. They stare at each other.
Austin comes back and wipes Sami’s tears away. She thinks she is a horrible person ...everyone hates her...and thinks he should hate her too. Austin reminds Sami that he has know her since she was a young girl and has seen her struggles. He just wants to help her.
Lucas feeds Carrie cake and thinks about what could have been for them if things had turned out differently years ago. He comes right out and tells her he loves her. She is shocked.
Sami tells Austin that she isn’t worth saving. Austin doesn’t believe it. He thinks she can be misguided at times but is a good person and wonderful mother. He tells her that she is definitely worthy of being loved and starts to kiss her.
Carrie tells Lucas that she likes him and wants to take things slowly. He agrees to go as slowly as she wants...would never hurt her...will always love her. They start to kiss.
Black Penthouse: Alex, Marlena, and John
Alex is sitting at the computer and typing. He gloats that he won...Marlena is his...and John Black will never get near her again.
Up in Marlena’s bedroom, she is looking at John’s picture. John tries to slip out unnoticed but she calls his name. He tries to explain what he is doing there but she is just glad he is there...wants him to stay the night...is still in love with him...
Alex keeps typing and says it’s just like the old times but better...or should he say it is worse for Marlena... We get a violent flashback of him and Marlena in bed with him working on a file. She wants him to put it all away and pay attention to his wife. The file falls off the bed and Alex is furious. He demands that she clean the mess up and slaps her...end of flashback.
Marlena gets out of bed and goes to a stunned John. He asks her if she has changed her mind about Alex. She doesn’t want to talk or think about Alex...just wants to be with John. She apologizes to him and tells him how much she missed him. He tells her he missed her too and asks if she has her memory back. She smiles through her tears. Marlena tells him she needs him and wants to make love.
Alex has the flashback again. We see him leaning over Marlena in bed and telling her in a sinister voice that if she ever displeases him again, he will see to it that her life becomes worse than she could ever imagine. Back in the present, he smiles and says he prides himself on being a man of his word.
John asks Marlena if she is sure. She tells him she wants to make love to her husband. They start to kiss and she leads him back to the bed. He asks her about Alex just as Alex shows up outside the door. John murmurs to Marlena that she is still in danger and they start to kiss again.
Rooftop: Philip and Belle
We get a repeat of the last scene from yesterday’s show with Philip coming up behind Belle...her smiling and thinking it’s Shawn...her saying that they have to be honest about how they feel even if other people do get hurt...Philip demanding to know what she is talking about.
Belle prevaricates and is not a happy camper. She tells him that all she meant is that things are getting complicated and they shouldn’t hurt anyone else (sigh...I have no idea why she thinks this is an explanation that works...) She tells him she loves him. Philip tells her that he understands it must be strange for her to watch a man she used to love marry her best friend but that it’s okay because...Shawn and Mimi got over losing Belle and Rex and fell in love with each other...they found the same love that he (Philip) and Belle have and they (Philip & Belle) also have Claire.
Philip tells Belle he asked the babysitter to stay a little longer so they could have time for themselves. He wonders why she is so upset. He guesses it’s because Belle feels guilty for leaving Claire alone. She reluctantly admits that this is part of it. He tells her that Claire needs her parents to be happy. Belle agrees. He thinks Belle is worried that they will become an old boring couple now but that will never happen. Philip calls her the perfect wife and says he is only alive because of her. She denies it. He wants to know what she needs in her life to make her as happy as he is. Belle smiles and says she is fine. He stops her and says there is definitely something missing from her life and he wants to know what it is so he can give it to her and make her life complete.
Belle looks morosely at the S & B carving in the door and has a flashback of telling Shawn she still loves him. She looks upset. Philip decides he knows exactly what is bothering her. He blames his disability for the marriage not being what she dreamed of (Kyle is excellent here). He talks about changing sides of the bed so she would be near his real leg. Belle tries to comfort him (not buying it) and says he is stronger now and nothing else matters. She wonders if he thinks she is shallow and tells him he is an inspiration to her and she is so lucky to have him.
She hugs him and tells him she will always love him (in a strange voice). He tells her he loves her so much but sometimes thinks he is going crazy and that one of these days she will get tired of dealing with a disabled husband and leave. He remembers growing up in a divorced household...his father in a nursing home for a long time....and he wants Claire’s life to be easier than his was...wants them to be together forever...not just for them but for Claire so she knows what a marriage is supposed to be. Belle says she wants what is best for Claire and loves her very much. Philip tells Belle she is the best mom in the whole world. She apologizes to him. He hugs her and tells her how much he loves him. She tells him half-heartedly that she loves him too.
Shawn and Mimi’s Loft: Shawn & Mimi...later Philip & Belle
Repeat of Shawn seeing the letter and picking it up to open. He starts to read it. We see Mimi crying against the door behind him and thinking that...it’s all there Shawn...the truth about you being Claire’s father...once you finish reading it, everything will be over for us. Shawn turns and sees her...he calls her name softly. She walks slowly towards him and he asks her in a very concerned voice what is going on. Mimi just cries.
Shawn begs Mimi to tell him why she is crying. She realizes that he hasn’t read the entire letter. He asks her if that is what it is about. She whispers in pain that he has to believe how much she loves him. He tells her he knows and that he loves her too. Mimi is sobbing now and Shawn is beside himself with how to help her. She tells him that he has to know how much she wants to be with him...how much she wants them to spend the rest of their lives together...only... He picks up on her hesitation and again begs her to tell him what she is trying to say. She sobs that she can’t. He tries to encourage her and tells her she can tell him and that whatever it is they can work through it...that it will be okay. Mimi cries out that if she tells him, he won’t want to marry her and he won’t want to have anything to do with her ever again. Shawn looks at her in shock.
Shawn turns Mimi back to him and pleads with her to tell him what she is so afraid to admit. She says in a flat voice: “You didn’t read the whole letter.” He says no and asks if she wants him too. Mimi is so bereft that first she says yes and then she says no. She tells him that she was a coward when she kept the truth from Rex and now she is taking the coward’s way out by writing a letter to Shawn. He tells her firmly that she is not a coward...that she is an incredibly strong person. She tells him she’s not. He refuses to believe it and tells her in no uncertain terms to look at everything she has been through ...her family has always been poor...she was homeless...her father walked out on her...and never once did she feel sorry for herself...she never lost her sense of humor...never once let anything stop her.
(This is my favorite part of Mimi’s scenes today). In a very sad and understated voice (with tears pouring down her face) Mimi tells him that she has just been spending her life in fantasyland...loving him...thinking about marrying him...but keeping the truth from him. Shawn pulls her into his arms and whispers: “What truth? Come here...just tell me and we’ll deal with it together.” He hugs her tight.
Shawn begs Mimi to just tell him and tells her anxiously that it will be okay. Mimi tells him it won’t be okay...that she isn’t the person he thinks she is...that he’s got her up on some pedestal and she doesn’t belong there. He looks shell-shocked. She tells him that she is just like her mother...a liar and a scammer...maybe it’s genetic...and maybe it’s a good thing she can’t have kids. He yells at her that she can’t believe that and neither does he. She cries that she doesn’t deserve him. Shawn begs her to stop...thinks maybe this is pre-wedding nerves or the stupid thing that Heather said to her at the shower. He tells her to listen to him...he is not going to sit there and let her tear herself down like this...she is a beautiful, caring, selfless and loving person. Mimi just shakes her head at him. He won’t believe her and says yes she is...pulls her back against his chest and says that if she doesn’t believe that...then it is his job, as her husband to keep telling her that. She tells him he doesn’t understand. He cuts her off lovingly (voice cracking) and says he understands that the only important thing here is that he loves her and wants to marry her. She yells, self-degradingly, that he won’t want to marry her when he reads the letter...so to just go ahead and read it already and find out what a selfless and caring person she really is. Shawn looks shocked again.
Shawn opens the loft door and sees Belle with Philip behind her. He is more than exasperated and asks sharply what they want. Philip tells him they just wanted to say goodnight (pretty lame...lol...). Shawn is blocking the door so they can’t see Mimi but Belle just barges in and asks Mimi what is the matter. Mimi tells her she is fine. Shawn looks protective and annoyed with Belle and Philip at the same time. Philip tells him that maybe they should leave them alone. Shawn agrees that it‘s a good idea and barely gets out a “thanks.” Belle starts to leave but Mimi calls her back and says for them to wait. Shawn calls out her name protectively but she ignores him. She tells them that they deserve to know what is going on. Shawn says “No!” Mimi says “Yes!” She tells them that she wrote Shawn a letter and what she is trying to tell him affects all of them...and once they know the truth, everything is going to change. Shawn looks down at the letter in his hand.
Preview:
Marlena yells at Alex, who is standing outside her door: “Alex, there’s something you should know…it’s about John.” John is in bed beside her and just stares at her.
Sami tells Lucas: “I lost Austin, I lost you. I am so sick and tired of losing everyone I love”. She is crying as Lucas hugs her and tells her to come to him.
Carrie asks Austin in the elevator: “Would you hold me?” And when he does, she tells him to just not let her go…Austin tells her that he doesn’t ever want to let her go.
Mimi asks Philip: “You know what is in the letter?” Philip tells her: “Yes and I think it’s something that Shawn needs to hear.”

Tuesday Mar 7
Pat’s Spoilers
Quad 1: Austin/Sami/Carrie/Lucas
There is a repeat of Sami’s speech about no believing in her except Austin and the beginning of their kiss. Carrie breaks away from the kiss with Lucas and tells him she’s not sure she can do this. He understands that they’re both afraid to put their hearts on the line – they’ve been hurt. He also knows that she likes him, not loves him. She tells him she doesn’t want to use him to fill the empty space inside of her – that wouldn’t be fair to him. He appreciates her worrying about him especially because they’re both in a vulnerable state right now. He presses on saying that they’re both right here and that they care about each other. He doesn’t want to live his life alone and without love. He doesn’t think she wants to either. She doesn’t think that either of them are going to end up alone – they’ll find someone – they have a lot to offer. Lucas says so in other words we’re feeling sorry for ourselves. Carrie says a little. Lucas has suggestion to get them out of that rut – she could try liking him a little less and loving him a little more. Carrie agrees and they start kissing again and Lucas removes his shirt.
The kisses are getting hotter between Sami and Austin. She starts to unbutton his shirt. Austin stops her and says they can’t do this. She says they can. He tells her it’s a mistake and he won’t let it lead to a bigger mistake and gets off the couch. Carrie and Lucas are reclined on the couch. He starts opening the buttons on her shirt and tells her he has loved her from the moment he first saw her. He can’t believe this is happening. He knows she wants to have children and he wants to give Will a little brother or sister. They’re not getting any younger although they still have time. He knows she wants to be married first. She sits up and asks him if he is asking her to marry him. They hear Will’s voice and Lucas goes to the door. The chaperone tells Lucas that Will sprained his ankle. Carrie comes out and says he should get some ice on that. Sami comes storming out asking is she just heard right – Will broke his ankle? Sami wants to take him to the hospital. Sami helps him inside the apartment. They all end up inside. Will insists that he doesn’t need to go to the hospital. Lucas tells Will that if his mother thinks he should go and if she is worried about him then they should go to the hospital. Lucas knows he doesn’t want to go so he offers to call Lexie if that is alright with Sami. Sami agrees. Carrie looks at Austin and starts to do up her buttons.
Lexie examines Will and says she doesn’t think it is broken – just a bad sprain. Sami says ‘you think?’ Lexie cuts her off and says if the swelling doesn’t go down after the ankle has been elevated all night and iced then to bring him in for an x-ray. Lucas asks him what he happened. Apparently he was climbing a tree to get an abandoned bird’s nest when he felt. Sami is all up in arms about the chaperones not doing their jobs – they should sue the school. Will says it wasn’t their fault – they didn’t even know. Lucas tells Sami she is over reacting. Will asks her what she is going to do when he goes out for lacrosse. Sami says you can lose your teeth in that game – no way. She looks to Lucas for agreement. Lucas tells Will they’ll talk about it later. Will says yeah, when Mom’s not around. Lexie is going to write out a prescription for Will. Lucas says there is a pharmacy on Water St. Lexie says she will call it in. Carrie offers to go and pick it up and also get Will his favourite ice cream. Austin says that Water St is not the safest neighbourhood so he is going with her. Lucas says no he will go. Sami insists that Will go to his room and get into bed – she’ll help him into his pj’s. Will is mortified and says he will do it himself. She tells him he can’t put any weight on his foot. Will calls for his Dad to help him out so Lucas offers to help him to his room. Austin says he and Carrie will go and get the prescription and the ice cream. Will asks Sami to make him some cocoa. She can’t refuse. Sami thanks Lexie for coming out. Carrie tells Austin that she can go on her own. Austin says no – he says you might want to button your shirt. She tells him to do the same.
Lucas asks Lexie if Will can go to school. Lexie says that is up to Will. Sami says he can’t go back because they’re on the field trip. He should stay home and she’ll look after him. Lucas says you mean – baby him. Sami says he can’t go on a nature hike with crutches. Lexie isn’t sure he’ll need crutches. Lexie hands the prescription to Carrie – even though she called it in its good to have it in case there is any problem. She gets a call and says she has to take it. Lucas thanks her for coming saying not a lot of doctors make house calls. Sami says to herself that Lexie does a lot of things other doctors wouldn’t do. Austin goes to get his coat. When he returns they leave. Sami picks up Lucas’ shirt and imagines him and Carrie making out on the couch. She accuses Lucas of doing that while their son was getting injured. Will should live with her. Lucas defends himself saying Will wasn’t there. He notices Sami is flushed and accuses her of getting it on with Austin – the funny thing is Austin didn’t look drugged. Their voices get louder and Will comes out and asks if his cocoa is ready. Lucas helps him back to bed while Sami goes to the stove. She picture Carrie and Lucas on the couch again. Carrie and Austin are waiting for the elevator. Carrie says that she and Sami used to eat an entire quart of ice cream between them – things are different now. Austin says a lot is the same. His brother is still in love with her and her sister is still in love with him. They start talking about what the other thinks happened tonight. Carrie says after everything Sami put him through he still stands by her – no matter he’s her knight in shining armour. Austin tells Carrie that she is the love of his life. Carrie starts talking. They both say go ahead – neither does. They’re about to take the stairs because the elevator is so slow when the door opens. They make small talk about family. Finally Carrie notices they are on the same floor – Austin forgot to press the button. The family talk continues – the lights flicker off and then back on but the elevator is jammed. Austin tells Carrie they will be stuck there for awhile.
Lucas comes out of Will’s room and finds Sami crying. He asks what’s wrong. Sami says they could have lost him. Lucas is confused – it’s just a sprained ankle – the statistics of someone dying from that … Sami tells him he doesn’t understand. What if he had fallen and snapped his neck? What if he had fallen and couldn’t move and no one could find him – it could have happened. Lucas tells her it didn’t happen. She says it could have – it happened to Zack. She’s sick and tired of losing everyone she loves. She’s lost Will to Lucas. She’s lost her mom to all sorts of catastrophes. She lost Austin. She lost him. She’s sick and tired – she breaks down – Lucas takes her in his arms. Carrie hates feeling trapped. Austin asks if she is okay. First she says she will be than says no she’s not. She asks him to hold her. He does. She says this is better. Don’t let me go. He tells her he never wants to let her go.
Forced Quad 2: Shawn/Mimi/Philip/Belle
Shawn wants to know what Mimi meant when she said once he reads the letter all of their lives will change forever. Philip and Belle think they should leave. Mimi tells them it’s important that they hear this. She tells Shawn to read the letter. He looks down at it. Mimi is crying and turns her back as Shawn starts reading. Dear Shawn. I love you more than I ever thought I could love anyone. That is why I’m writing this to you now before we get married so you know how much I want you to find the happiness you deserve. Shawn stops reading it and says this is too personal. Belle agrees. Philip says no offence Mimi but why do you want us to hear this. Mimi is trying not to cry – she tells them because it affects the two of them as much as it affects her and Shawn. Philip agrees. Mimi looks surprised and asks him he knows what she wrote in the letter. He says yes he does and it’s definitely something Shawn should hear.
Mimi asks him how he knows. Philip tells her it’s because he knows her. She wants to tell Shawn all her hopes and dreams and plans for the future before you get married. Belle disagrees – she tells Philip that Mimi said it affected all of them. Philip says it does. When we got married it affected them and now they’re getting married and it affects the two of us. We’ve been together for so long and we can talk about the past all we want but we can’t go back. This is it. Shawn looks at Mimi and then pointedly at Belle and says ‘no, we can’t.’ Phil starts going on about him and Belle and Mimi is practically jumping out of her skin. Philip talks about their first year of marriage and what they had to deal with – Claire’s illness, him going to war – them being apart. This is why they are so happy to be going through this again with the two of them by being their best man and matron of honour. Mimi asks Shawn to just please read the letter. Shawn looks down at it ands say no, I’m really sorry. I’d rather wait until … Philip cuts in and says it was really nice of her to want to share this letter with them but maybe it’s better if they wait until it’s just the two of them. Mimi keeps saying no. He goes on to say that there is nothing more important than communication. Philip goes on to say that he and Belle just came down from the rooftop where they had one of the most meaningful conversations they have ever had. In the wake of it he feels closer to Belle than ever before. He lists all the things that could have torn them apart in their first year of marriage but they just faced them together and did the best they could and it turned out alright. Belle agrees and says it’s true. Philip tells them to be like them (oh god, please no) just communicate, be there for each other, love each other – they’re going to be okay. Shawn looks down at the letter again and then sets it down.
Philip says so much has happened to them but Belle and he are still very happy and they are happy for the both of them. Their relationships have changed but their still friends and after the two of them get married they are going to be even better friends. Belle’s cell rings – it’s the babysitter. They say they have to leave (thank God!). Shawn says goodnight and tells them to give Claire a big kiss from him. Mimi says bye with the tears still glistening on her face. Mimi picks up the letter and tells Shawn she thinks he should read the letter now. He says why. She says because later is too late. He says why. She says because there are things in it that you need to know before we get married. He starts to read the letter but stops and says to her – before you hurl a lot of negative baggage at me saying that you are just like your mother, a liar and a cheat (there was more) – he wants her to know that none of that is true. He won’t let her put herself down like that – she has too much going for her. He can see how special she is even if she can’t. He throws the letter down and goes to her, touching her face. He says … (Sigh) I love you so much, babe and I don’t need to read some letter to tell me how much you love me. He tells her to stop putting herself down and to stop saying that she doesn’t deserve him. He goes on to say that he will never stop telling her what an amazing person she is. Mimi drops her head. He tells her to look at him – she does. He smiles at her and asks her to smile and then he kisses her. They hug – Mimi is trying very hard not to cry.
Shawn and Mimi are kissing. Shawn tells her that she is so incredible and he is so lucky to have her in his life. He says I can’t wait to marry you – Mimi can’t meet his eyes. He says you do believe that I mean that with my whole heart, don’t you? She says yeah I do. He smiles and says Okay. That’s alright, baby. He wants her to do him a favour. When they’re standing at the altar gazing into each others eyes he wants her to remember two words “I do”. Can you do that? She nods yes. He laughs and then says he’s going to be bed and he was wondering if she wanted to go with him. She says yes and they kiss passionately. He says I was hoping you would say that and then leads her to the bedroom. She stops and looks at the letter while he is kissing her neck. Back at their place Belle asks Philip if he thought Mimi was acting strange. Philip says she did seem desperate for Shawn to read that letter. Belle wishes he hadn’t added his own assumptions as to what was in that letter. Belle repeats what Mimi said about the letter affecting all of them- how Mimi wanted them to know the truth. It freaked her out. Philip agrees that he shouldn’t have spoken for her – he has a habit of doing that. (You think???) Belle says it’s too late now. Philip asks her what she thinks Mimi wanted to say. Belle asks if he thinks Mimi is getting cold feet and wants to back out of the wedding to Shawn. Philip doesn’t think so – she said something about pre-wedding jitters. They then hear Shawn and Mimi (sorry, it’s no more pleasant listening to that than it was when Shawn and Mimi had to listen to Phil and Belle). Philip smirks says forget about cold feet – he doesn’t think Mimi has cold anything.
John/Marlena/Alex/Lexie
I’m not going to go into much detail on these scenes. They really didn’t make a lot of sense to me. I’m sure there is a reason for Marlena thinking John is Alex while at the same time answering Alex’s questions that he is firing off from the other side of the door – LOL! Did I confuse you yet – that’s how I felt watching their scenes. In the heat of passion Marlena calls John Alex which gives John his first clue that something is not right. Alex hears Marlena moaning and asks her if she is alright and if she is talking to someone. John points to the radio so Marlena tells Alex she had the radio on. He asks to come in but Marlena tells him she is in bed. Alex tells her he will keep her safe from John. She says John would never hurt her. Alex leaves. John tells Marlena he will protect her from Alex. She says why, he is my husband. I love him that’s why we’re having the renewal service. John is totally confused (he’s not the only one). He calls Lexie and tells her that he thinks Alex is drugging her. He says she took a sleeping pill and wants to know if they could cause her to act this way. He gives her all the details and says he is going to bring her to the hospital. Lexie warns him that if Alex catches him he could kill him and there isn’t a jury alive that wouldn’t find it justifiable. John broke into their home and was trying to kidnap his wife – this is how Alex would spin it according to Lexie. John locks the door while he’s talking to her. John takes Lexie’s advice and is about to sneak out when he hears Alex outside the door again. Alex tells Marlena because the door is locked he’s going to have to break it down. Freeze frame ending on John’s face.
Preview Patrick (to himself) What’s wrong with you Bo Brady? How did you let this woman go? Sami to Lucas – We could have been happy. Don’t you think that we could have really made our dreams come true? Shirtless Austin to Carrie – I would give anything if you would give me another chance. Bo to Billie – It’s about time she learned that her actions have consequences. Billie – No, Chelsea will not go to prison.

Pat’s Spoilers
Morgan Island Patrick is splitting wood (they’re outside by a campfire). Hope apologises for invading his space. He takes her hand and says she has been through a rough time – she can stay as long as she wants. She pulls her hand away. She says the place is magical but she knows that at some point she has to go back and deal with everything. She has to talk to Bo. Patrick tells her that when she goes home she will face Bo and talk to him but for now she needs to relax. He tells her to consider this her home away from home. She decides she should help chop the wood – cute scenes with her wielding the axe – Patrick helps. She gets played out really quickly … LOL! She is going to sleep – he offers her the bed and he will sleep outside on the hammock. She sits on the bed and holds Zack’s stuffed animal and then lies down. Patrick wonders how Bo could have let Hope go. Hope can’t sleep – she asks Patrick to talk to her. She asks him to tell her the legend of the island. He does. (It’s a long story and I’m not going to repeat it). As he tells the story we see Patrick and Hope as the man and the woman in the legend.
Bo & Billie They wake up. Bo has to restart the fire – they’re freezing. Billie is worried about Chelsea. She tells him about the conversation – Chelsea feels alone. Bo says she knows how hard they searched for her – how much they love her. Billie says she’s afraid you won’t be on her side. Bo says that she killed his son. She’s reckless. Billie defends her saying it was an accident. Bo wants to know what this is about choosing sides. He loves his daughter but she is irresponsible – she’s a typical teenager that doesn’t think past what she wants. Hope will never forgive her and if she wasn’t his daughter he doesn’t know if he would forgive her. (He’s drinking during this conversation). Billie can’t believe he’s saying this –she says Chelsea has nightmares every night. He says she thinks this is just going to blow over but it isn’t. There is a very good chance Chelsea will do time. Billie insists that Chelsea will not go to jail. He tells her that is not her call. Billie thinks he is being harsh. He tells her he hopes that Billie gets probation and community service but it’s not realistic to think she won’t get jail time. Bo says it’s about time Chelsea learns that her actions have consequences and they’re not doing her any favours but letting her think other wise. Bo thinks doing some time might be good for her. Billie says you can’t be serious. Bo thinks it will be good for her. Billie says it will be good for Hope because Hope is out for blood. Bo says Hope wants closure. Billie says and you are okay with that. He says yes he is going to stand by Hope – he is not going to lose her over this. Billie vows to keep Bo on her side by keeping him and Hope apart.
Chelsea & Max Chelsea is at a club whining that she has to wear a wristband – she might as well have a sign on her back that says “Baby”. She wants to score a beer. Some guy offers to buy her one depending on what’s in it for him. She gets up and wraps herself around him and kisses him. Max sees this. Max drags her away and asks her what she is doing there. She needs to have some fun. He tells her that she should be at home not kissing a jerk. She says she hasn’t forgotten her trial is coming up. He says this is typical Chelsea Benson behaviour – he wants to take her home. She says no – she made a new friend and she is going to dance with him. Chelsea is now drinking a beer the guy bought her. Max tells her she is underage. She whines about what she was doing earlier – talking to Billie Reed playing gin rummy like she is 90 years old. Max says Billie doesn’t want her to make things look worse. Chelsea doesn’t think that things could get worse. Max asks her what happens if the judge and DA find out she was in a bar hitting on strangers. Chelsea smirks and takes a drink. The guy takes a picture and says thanks the picture of Tot Killer Teen will be on the cover of the Intruder tomorrow. Max asks for the film – threatens the guy but he calls his bluff and leaves. Chelsea and Max follow. Max knocks the camera out of his hands and threatens the guy again while Chelsea takes out the film. Max yells at Chelsea – now do you know why you shouldn’t have come here. Chelsea plays the damsel in distress and hugs Max. The reporter says luckily for me I had the film backed up on a memory stick.
Sami & Lucas Sami is still upset. She knows she worries a lot but she didn’t think she had to worry about Will when he was at school. Lucas tells her to calm down, kids have accidents. Sami says that Will is the most important thing in her life. Lucas says for him too. She can’t help but thinking about Zack. She doesn’t know how Bo and Hope are handling it. They lost Zack, they lost each other – they lost everything. Lucas agrees that it was a horrible thing but he says no matter what they will always be a family just like they will. Sami asks him if he is saying they are still a family. He nods yes. Sami asks him if this means they can get back together. He says he means it when he says they are a family but he doesn’t think they will ever get back together. She says to her being a family means being together. He says the two of them will always be the most important people in Will’s life no matter what happens between them. Will calls out asks if his hot chocolate is getting cold. Sami says she’ll bring it to him. Lucas stops her and says I didn’t think you would be disappointed. Sami says she is fine. He says when he sees her like this does she know what he sees. She answers a fool. She wanted more than anything to be the wife he deserved. She asks him if he ever thinks about what their lives would be like if they had married – she thinks they could have been happy.
Lucas sounds close to tears when he answers that he doesn’t know because they didn’t get married. They will never know. She agrees. She goes to reheat Will’s hot chocolate. Lucas goes to keep Will company. Sami finds the letter that Lucas wrote to her on their wedding day. It’s very touching as we hear her read it and we also Lucas’ voice reading parts of the letter. Will asks him why it’s taking so long. Lucas says Sami got sidetracked – he says you know you will always be the most important person in your mother’s life. Will knows this. He asks if Lucas and Carrie were on a date and Lucas says yes. Will asks him if this means that there is no chance for him and Sami. Lucas says she’s an amazing woman and he loves her very deeply and they are never going to get back together. They talk more – Sami comes up just as Will says if you two love each other, isn’t that the most important thing. Lucas says so are honesty and trust and they don’t have that. What they had is over. Sami comes in and gives them their cocoa and gets out quickly. She hears the elevator alarm. Will thinks his Mom looked upset – she must have heard them.
Austin & Carrie Carrie won’t let Austin let her go – she’s very afraid. He tells her he won’t. The lights go out and she screams. Carrie is totally freaked out and starts yelling for help. Austin tells her it will be okay and holds her. She tells him she gets claustrophobic in small spaces. He asks her since when. She tells him about a time her and Mike were trapped in an elevator while in Israel. Their was an explosion due to a bomb. They weren’t hurt but it took hours for the rescuers to dig them out of the rubble. Austin promises to get her out. He takes off his shirt so he can climb through the escape door at the top and get help. He can’t get the door open. Carrie doesn’t want him to leave her alone. He gets her to sit down on the floor. He asks her what he can do to get her mind off of being stuck. She tells him to talk about his life in New York. He starts in about work – she doesn’t want to hear about work. She asks about his necklace. He tells her about the Big Brother organization – he also mentions that he still wants kids. She asks about women. He says there were women but he never got serious with any but they weren’t her. He tells her he won’t play games wither her – life is too short. He loves her – he never stopped. He wishes her a Happy Birthday. He wishes she could separate her anger over his business decision from her personal feelings for him. He wants her to give him another chance. Carrie doesn’t feel he’s the same person she married. He tells her she isn’t either. If they have been waiting for each other this isn’t a good reason to keep apart. Just as he asks if she can put this all behind them and if they can start fresh Sami calls out. They tell her they are stuck in the elevator. Sami tells them how to reset the system. Austin does it and it works. Lucas comes out. Austin goes on his own to get the prescription. Sami is ticked that both men have feelings for Carrie – she says she is going to make Austin forget all about her.
Preview: Carrie – No matter what decision I make there will be one person who is not happy for me – Sami. Lucas to Philip – Biological clock is ticking. I might be the right man at the right time. Bo to Billie – I’m not going back to Salem. Billie – What? Bo – You’re going alone. Hope to Patrick – I should go. Patrick – I don’t want you to go Hope.

Sami’s Sami hands Austin a cup of coffee. They talk about what happened the night before. Since Zack she really worries about Will. She talks about him being stuck in the elevator. She brings up the time it happened to them when she was fifteen. She fell in love with him in two seconds but he just thought of her as a little girl – he was with Carrie. She tries to talk about Carrie but Austin says he won’t talk about Carrie with her. She says it’s perfectly natural to talk about her sister and his ex-wife unless he has something to hide. Austin said that a lot of people get nervous when trapped. Sami goes on an on about Carrie playing games because she’s not claustrophobic. He refuses to talk to her about Carrie – he wants them to focus on work. (Hmm… he might want to put on a shirt then). She says before work he has to have breakfast. She brings a tray. Austin wants to know why she is buttering him up. Sami flirts up a storm – talking about the Cubs – she tells him that if he is a Yankee fan she’ll have to regret that kiss. He says it was a mistake – it shouldn’t have happened. She says he liked it. He better not tell her it was a mercy kiss. He said it wasn’t that – he doesn’t have the time for this conversation. He says he’s not going there again and that relationship has to be kept strictly to business. He has a meeting – he goes to put on a shirt. Sami is furious – she claims Carrie wants both men for herself.
Sami pounces all over Will asking him how he’s feeling … he tells her to stop – he’s fine – he’s not a baby – he walks, he talks. She wants to know what Lucas said – she heard he told Carrie that he loves her. Will asks her how she always knows. She says that is her secret. She wants to know everything. He doesn’t know much more except they kissed. Sami says that is disgusting. Will says Carrie said something about a ticking clock. She says that means your Dad wants to have children with her but she’ll never have you – you’re my child. Will says even after everything she did to them he still wishes that her and Dad could get back together. Sami says she wanted that as well but Lucas wants Carrie now and she can’t waste any more time trying to change his mind. She asks him how he would feel if she got back together with his Uncle Austin. Will says but what if he still loves Aunt Carrie. Grandpa Shawn comes over and has some cookies for Will. Will goes to get some milk. Sami hugs her Grandpa – she’s close to tears and says she wishes – she wishes for so many things. He asks her if there is any chance that Lucas will forgive her and give Will the family he wants. She doesn’t know why Lucas won’t forgive her. Grandpa Shawn says he loves you. Sami says she knows but he’s interested in someone else. Shawn tells her there has to be someone that will be interested in her – don’t give up. She tells him there is this guy that she knows that could make her forget about Lucas Roberts. Shawn urges her to go after him – she’ll get him. He then tells her that she should get advice from Carrie. She says she will. When he leaves she says she can’t ask Carrie for advice – she’s the enemy and this is war.
Lucas’ Lucas is putting a way Carrie’s birthday decorations when Carrie comes out of the room. She says he was so sweet. He tells her that making her happy makes him happy. They both have flashbacks – him with her – Carrie with Austin. Carrie has something to tell him and he’s not going to like it. She can’t have breakfast with him – she has a meeting with Victor. He asks her to lunch. She says it depends on what Victor has planned for her. She leaves. Lucas is ticked – last night she was so into him and now she’s all polite again – it’s Austin’s fault … sigh. Carrie and Austin meet outside – Austin convinces her to go on the elevator with her – Sami watches. She has to figure out how to get Austin to concentrate on her – she’s going to have to do something drastic. Philip is over having coffee. Will comes out on crutches. Philip gives him a video game – Lucas and Will are both happy with it. Will says that Sami hasn’t grown up – she acted like a total spaz last night – you would have thought he lost a leg. Lucas chides him for making the remark about losing a leg but not for what he said about his mother … tsk tsk. Philip is fine with it. Will goes over to talk to his Mom but in the hallway he overhears Lucas telling Philip that it’s over with Sami – he’s thinking of someone else. He goes on to see he told Carrie he loved her and he got a hell of a kiss out of it. He goes on to say she wants kids – her biological clock is ticking. He may be the right man at the right time. Will hobbles away saying how could Dad tell Aunt Carrie that he loves her – Sami hears this.
As for the Philip Lucas conversation – I feel the same way about this conversation as I do the one between Victor and Austin. What was the purpose of it? Don’t have a clue. The bare minimum – Lucas talks about getting Carrie – wants advice. Philip is on his side – may Carrie choose the best brother … yawn.
Morgan Island Hope wakes up and kisses the stuffed animal and says good morning Zack. She notices the hammock is empty and thinks that Patrick has left. She puts on her robe and walks outside and opens the outdoor shower curtains and says OMG – naked Patrick. (And how can this NOT be a good thing … LOL!) He wraps a towel around himself and tells her she can turn around – he says she is so sweet. She says she is so embarrassed. That’s why he thinks she is sweet. He tells her he usually dries off outside but he does have towels if she wants to shower. She says he lives in paradise – he refers to it as low rent paradise. He tells her she can have a shower. She goes inside and passes him her robe (don’t know what happened to her pj’s – LOL). He gets the water ready. She turns the shower on and starts yelling and jumps out of the shower using the curtain to cover her. She says it is freezing. He forgot to tell her it was cold. He says it wakes him up. She says she is awake now. He gives her a peace offering – a bouquet of the special flowers. He says some of the women think the essence is what helps them find true love. Hope says she thinks it’s the magic – like the legend said. Patrick thinks the legend means she will renew her love for Bo on this island. She tells him that won’t happen – she can’t even look at Bo again. Patrick serves Hope breakfast. She says she could get used to this. He tells her to be careful the island may get into her soul. Just like the flower can bring true love – they say the island can make you want to stay here forever. She’s sitting on the couch watching Patrick clean up. She offers to help – he tells her to relax. She gets the strangest expression on her face and sits up. She is on the bed crying – Patrick knocks on her door and asks her what is wrong. She says she is leaving – she’ll find another island. He says you love it here. She tells him she has to go because he’s here. He tells her he wants her to stay.
Bo and Billie They wake up and Bo wants to know what happened. Billie tells they spent the night together in his sleeping bag. Bo wants to know if they did anything. She says we kept each other warm and slept. She adds that he got plastered, wrecked his bike and shot at some beer bottles. He remembers he shot her. He checks her bandage. He says he has emergency rations – needs coffee – instant. Billie starts rambling about a trip with Patrick where they got stranded. Bo doesn’t want to hear about that creep – she could do a lot better. Billie thinks that she and Patrick could have had something really special but it’s over. He left town. Bo says he left town the same time as my wife. Bo then adds that they can’t be together because if they were he would have to kill him. Billie says there is no way they are together – he left town before her. She talked to him – he told her that he was leaving because he didn’t want to come between Bo and Hope. Bo scoffs. Billie asks him if he doesn’t believe her. He doesn’t believe Patrick. If he had a shot at his wife, Patrick would take it. He spills out his coffee and finds Billie’s keys. She says they can go back to Salem. He tells her he is not going. There’s no reason to go back. His wife isn’t there, his oldest son hates him, his youngest son is … he stops and says he had so many plans her him and Tiny Man. He doesn’t want to go back to that cold empty house. She tells him he can go and look for Hope. He says – what, search the world for a woman that won’t look at him. She knows how to find him. Billie says what about your family – Chelsea needs you. She tells him his family needs him – she wants him to come home. Billie and Bo arrive at his house. He checks the phone – no messages. Checks his PDA and there is a message from Hope. It’s a text message from Hope. She tells him not to look for her. She will be home for Chelsea’s trial and she is going to do everything in her power to make sure she goes to jail. She would like his support. If protecting Chelsea is his priority, so be it. Billie says she is forcing you to choose between our daughter and your marriage. What are you going to do?
Brady Pub Austin asks Carrie to tell him that she has changed her mind about him – that she doesn’t think he’s such a bad guy. Before she can answer Victor interrupts and tells Carrie to have a cup of coffee while he talks to Austin.
Victor & Austin: I’m really not sure what this conversation was about or why it was necessary – so I’ll just give minimum detail. Victor basically warns Austin to stay away from Carrie. She works for him and she works with Lucas and they are going to go after his company. Getting involved with Carrie would just confuse the issue – besides Lucas cares very deeply for her. Someone this situation parallels his love affair with Caroline. He talks about that – his other marriages – how work and amassing wealth and power are all consuming. He tells him to stay away from Carrie once again. When he leaves Austin says he won’t give up on Carrie.
Caroline & Carrie: Carrie thanks her Grandma for the birthday present. Caroline says it must be difficult for her to be working with Lucas and living across the hall from Austin. Carrie says how do you always know. Carrie tells her that Lucas told her he loved her. She thought her feelings for Austin were gone after what he did but now she isn’t so sure. She wants to have children and Lucas’ is the safer option – maybe he’s the Mr. Right she has been looking for. Caroline talks about her situation and that she made the right decision. Carrie asks her if she has regrets. Caroline says no. She advises Carrie to not make any decision until she is ready to commit, mind, body and soul to one man. Carrie says no matter who she chooses and when she makes the choice one person won’t be happy for her and that’s Sami. Caroline talks about the chances Sami had to be happy but she ruined them all. She warns Carrie that there is nothing worse than Sami scorned.
Preview: Father Jansen to Belle: Do you have anything to confess? Belle – I’m in love with someone other than my husband. Hope to Patrick – I deserve to be punished just as much as Chelsea does. Patrick holds her. Chelsea to Billie – You love him. Hope’s gone. Put out for him. Billie slaps her. Shawn to Bo – This is why Mom left town and for her sake I hope she never comes back.

Pat’s Spoilers
St Luke’s Very cute opening scenes with Calliope, Shawn and Mimi. Mimi looks gorgeous – Shawn looks very handsome – Calliope is just great. Love how Shawn complimented her hat! She asks them what the important thing about today is and the answer is that at the end of the day they are married. She asks Mimi if she is okay, she looks like she is going to faint. Mimi is fine – she hasn’t eaten yet. Calliope tells her that is not allowed. She wants to talk about the reception. Shawn says they have – a lot. Her weddings are famous for their themes. Because everyone is so down she was thinking of what would go up – bubbles. They say no – Mimi says they are traditional – no bubbles. Calliope says when she lived in Salem armed gunman were traditional – she walks away yelling to cancel the bubble machines. Shawn and Mimi are kissing when Phil, Belle and Claire arrive. They claim that Claire is very fussy and no matter what they’ve done they can’t calm her down. Shawn takes her and Philip claims he has the magic touch. LMAO – Claire is behaving no differently with Shawn than she did with Philip – too funny. Mimi says she is going to tell Father Jansen they are ready. Bonnie arrives and fills a little bottle with Holy Water. She says a little swig will cure … she lists a lot of things – Mimi says will it help with saving relationships. Bonnie wants to know what happened. Mimi says nothing but when Shawn finds out he is Claire’s father and I knew and didn’t tell him our marriage will be over before it starts. Bonnie takes a swig of the Holy Water.
Shawn says he still has a hard time believing that part of Zack is now a part of Claire – that she is living because of him. The baby is so cute – playing around. Philip says it’s amazing for them as well. And as soon as Claire is old enough she will know all about Zack. Philip says he’s never seen Claire so happy with someone other than the two of them – it’s like she knows that he is her Godfather. Calliope says no offence Philip but I think she thinks that Shawn is her father … or she’s started to flirt at a really young age – keep her away from my husband. Bonnie is lighting some candles to pay for her sins (the guy at the gas station, the guy who delivers the beer …). She wants everything to be ‘jake’ with God before Mimi’s wedding. Mimi says that everything won’t be ‘jake’ with Shawn. I loved Mimi in this scene – there’s a lot of dialogue – I’ll try and cover the main things. Mimi says Shawn will know the truth before the wedding – she can’t stand at that altar before God and marry him without telling the truth. Bonnie tries to dissuade her – saying she is so close to getting everything she wanted – why ruin it. Mimi says that Shawn deserves to know he is Claire’s father – to have her in his life. Bonnie says he will – she’s his goddaughter. That isn’t what Mimi means – he is her father – he should be with her every day not just birthdays and special occasions. Mimi says you always tell me how wonderful I am and how much Shawn loves me – Bonnie says she is and he does. Mimi says than why are you so sure that he would choose Belle over me. Bonnie says she isn’t but why take the chance. Bonnie compares Mimi to a horse that she bet on – the horse came from behind and was winning and then collapsed before the finish line and didn’t even place. Mimi says so I’m just another disappointment. Bonnie hugs her and says no – she just wants her to be happy. Mimi says that she and Rex were happy. Mimi insists that she has to come clean to Shawn and tell him tonight. Shawn, Phil, Claire and Belle come inside. Shawn asks Mimi what she is talking about.
Bonnie says she is being dramatic. Mimi tells Shawn she has a confession to make. Calliope interrupts and says you sure do. They can’t get married until they’ve gone to confession. They should do it right after the rehearsal. She goes to get Father Jansen. Bonnie suggests that Phil and Belle take Claire to the nursery. Belle does. Mimi says don’t you feel bad about manipulating people in church. Bonnie says her and God have an understanding. Mimi has one with Him to – it involves the truth. Bonnie plays on Mimi’s dreams and tells her to imagine … she describes the wedding. Bo arrives outside the church and says please come home Fancy Face, I need you. The wedding rehearsal is at the point where the groom kisses the bride. Father Jansen asks if they want to practice. Shawn does – they kiss. Philip tells them to save it for the wedding night. Bo walks in. Shawn asks him what he is doing there. Bo was going to ask him the same thing. Shawn says I’m finishing up my wedding rehearsal. Bo says you’re getting married without inviting your parents. Mimi takes Shawn aside and tells him that he should talk to Bo alone. Shawn says I don’t have to explain why I don’t want him at the rehearsal or my wedding. Mimi says this is our wedding day – your mother isn’t going to be here – maybe your father can – he’s hurting too. She doesn’t want any hurt feelings on this special day. Shawn kisses her and says he is doing this for her. Calliope suggests that Father Jansen start hearing confessions – Belle goes first. Bo asks Shawn if Hope knows about this. Shawn says he told her that they would wait until she caught home. Bo says you lied to her. Shawn says it must run in the family. Bo asks him if he knows how hurt his mother is going to be. Shawn says not as hurt as she was by what you did. You’re the reason she had to go away and I don’t blame her. Belle is in the confessional. She asks if it is a sin if she just thinks it. Father Jansen says it depends. She says she is in love with a man other than her husband and she doesn’t know what to do about it.
Bonnie tells Mimi when she is a parent she’ll understand that you just want what is best for your children. Mimi says what is best for Claire. Bonnie says that she’s got it good where she is – two parents who love her and Shawn as her godfather. Besides she is heir to the Kiriakis fortune. Mimi says it’s all a lie. She is going to talk to Father Jansen about. Bonnie says you’re going to tell him. Mimi says I can’t get married with this on my conscience. Bonnie says at least he is sworn to secrecy. She has a fantasy of what it would be like to go to confession and says she’s not stepping inside one of those things. Belle tells Father Jansen she loves Philip but she loves Shawn more and she thinks that deep down inside Shawn feels the same. Father Jansen mentions that Shawn tried to stop her wedding to tell her that – flashback. He asks her if she is planning something like that. She says no. She knew she had made a mistake and she tried to make it right than Philip got shipped out, taken prisoner, lost a leg and then they had Claire (oh cry me a river – sheesh). She asks him what she can do. He says there is only one thing – pray for the strength to honour your wedding vows. Her jaw drops – that is not what she was expecting to hear. She says what I stop the wedding – I can get a divorce. He tells her the church does not honour divorce. She has free will to make the choices she has made – he tells her that she has made the same choice over and over – to stay with Philip. Something inside her is telling her that he is the right choice. They took their vows and became one forever. Bo tells Shawn that one day he will regret that his mother wasn’t at the wedding. Shawn tells him that he already regrets it and he blames Bo for the fact that she isn’t there because he chose to protect Chelsea. Bo says one day you will have children and you will understand why I had to protect my daughter – just like I protected you. Shawn says I didn’t kill anyone. Bo says he could have when he drove his motorcycle through the window. He pulled every string he had to keep him out of jail. Shawn says he didn’t – he wanted him to go to jail to learn his lesson just like Chelsea has to learn her. Calliope comes out with Philip and Claire and tells Bo she wants to talk to him about what he’s going to wear to the wedding. Shawn says he is not coming to the wedding. Bo tries to stop him from walking away – the Intruder falls out of his pocket. Phil steps between them. Shawn sees the cover and says you knew this and you still defended her.
Calliope asks Belle if she is all squared with God. Belle says she is going to check on Claire. Calliope says I guess not – LOL! Bonnie is lighting more candles. She tells God that Mimi is a good kid and she deserves to be happy. The only way that will happen is if no one finds out that Philip isn’t Claire’s father. She asks God to make sure Mimi doesn’t say anything. In the confessional Father Jansen says that Mimi sounds troubled – and chalks it up to pre-wedding jitters. Mimi says it’s not that. God has forgiven her for some pretty major things. Father Jansen says it’s good that she knows He is merciful. Mimi thinks she is pushing her luck – she knows something that if others found out – it would change a lot of lives including hers. She says that Philip isn’t Claire’s father – Shawn is. Father Jansen says and you have been keeping this from Shawn. She says she has been trying to tell him but something comes up. What happens if she tells him and she loses him – he goes back to Belle – Belle leaves Philip. Father Jansen says he can’t grant her absolution until she tells Shawn and without absolution he can not marry her in this church. Shawn tells Bo that Chelsea is out of control and yet he protects her. Bo says he was protecting his daughter. Shawn say what about Zack – your son. Why didn’t you protect him? This is why Mom left town and I hope for her sake she never comes back.
Morgan Island Hope says she has to leave – she needs to think through everything that has happened with Bo, Chelsea … Patrick doesn’t think she should be alone. She needs a friend – someone to talk to, to laugh with … Hope says and you’re that person. Patrick says yes. He asks her to give it a try for a few days and then she can leave. She tells him that she really needs to be alone – to sort things out. He tells her he knows it’s none of his business but he thinks it would be better if she just talked about it. She says you are right – it’s none of your business. As my friend please take me to the airport. Patrick says he’ll take her anywhere she wants to go. He just needs to get a shirt. Hope sits down and says she was trying to run away from her problems. She is angry at Chelsea, Billie and Bo but she should have known the problems travel with you. Besides there is one other person she blames that she will never be able to run from. Patrick says who. She blames herself. She shouldn’t have let him go to that sleepover. If they had all stayed home on New Years Eve he would still be alive. She should have taught him to never go into the street – she’s a terrible mother. She cries on Patrick’s shoulder.
She apologises for snapping at him – she says she is really confused. That is why he doesn’t think she should be alone. She says a part of her would like to hide out here forever but she has to face life – a life without Zack and possibly without Bo. She’s really scared. Patrick says yes she has to face life but she doesn’t have to do it right now. She can take some time for herself – a time to be confused – a time to grieve. Before she makes a decision he wants to take her some place before she leaves the island – it may change her perspective. Patrick apologises for the boat ride being so rough – she tells him he handled it like a pro. She recognises the spot – it’s a photo he had at his place. Patrick says he volunteers at the orphanage. It’s almost recess time. Hope thinks they should leave – she doesn’t know if she can be around little kids. Patrick says that is why he brought her there – life goes on. One of the boys comes out – James. He thinks Hope is pretty and he runs into her arms. Then Scotty comes along and asks Patrick if she is his wife. He says she’s his good friend. Scotty wants to know if she likes football. Patrick tells them to show Hope how they can throw and catch. When she looks at James she sees Zack. The kid runs to catch the football but falls off a cliff – Hope goes after him. The boy is hanging on to a ledge … Hope sees Zack and hears him yelling help me mommy. She gets a board and leans over and starts screaming as it looks like she is going over the edge.
Brady House Billie arrives as Bo is bringing in the mail. She wants to know if he meant what he said. He did. She asks him if he would be doing this if Hope wasn’t coming home. He says what, standing by my wife and saving my marriage. Billie says he is choosing his marriage over his daughter – does he want to see Chelsea go to jail. He tells her he wants the courts to deal with it – he shouldn’t have interfered. She says she wants him to stand by Hope’s side but this was an accident. How is going to look if her own father won’t side with her? Bo throws the mail down – the Intruder is part of the pile. Bo says he is not abandoning Chelsea. He knows she is sorry but she has been out of control lately. Billie thinks she comes by that naturally – they used to be that way. Billie thinks that Chelsea has already learned in the worse possible way that her actions have consequences (Huh - how???). She really believes that she is growing up. They’re going to see a new Chelsea. Bo glances down and says what’s this? He shows Billie the cover and says this is the new Chelsea? Billie says it has to be a mistake – she told me that she wasn’t going out. Bo says she manipulated you just like she manipulated me. Billie tries again but Bo says you’re defending her when she lied to you.
Chelsea and Abby show up. Chelsea kisses Bo and hugs him and plays the perfect daughter. Chelsea asks Billie what she is doing there. Billie shows her the cover. Chelsea says she can explain. Bo doesn’t want to hear it. She says she is sorry. Bo says you’re sorry and this is how you show it – by going out to a club and partying. He goes on to say Zack isn’t even cold in his grave yet – he’s done. He tells them to lock up when they leave. Chelsea asks him where he is going. He says to St. Luke’s to pray for Zack. Abby leaves because Billie wants to talk to Chelsea alone. Chelsea says it didn’t happen the way the paper says. Billie says it doesn’t matter – everyone in Salem is going to read it. If she thinks that any potential juror is going to feel sorry for her she’s wrong. Chelsea says Frankie will take care of it – get a change of venue. Chelsea says Bo will calm down. Billie tells her not to count on it. Hope text messaged him and said she will be home for the trial and she is going to do everything in her power to make sure Chelsea goes to jail and Bo is going to support her. He is going to support his wife. Chelsea tells Billie she has to change his mind. Billie doesn’t think she can. Chelsea says it’s easy. You love him. Hope’s gone. Put out for him. Billie slaps her. The slap doesn’t faze Chelsea at all. Billie can’t believe that Chelsea made another stupid, selfish decision and now she wants her to sleep with someone to save her butt. Chelsea says it’s not like you don’t love him. Billie says she respects him to much to try and seduce him. Chelsea says she’s heard the stories – she knows how Billie has tried to break them up – it never worked before because Hope was around but she’s out of the picture. She tells Billie to move fast – it’s a win win situation – they can be a family – the three of them. Billie tells her to stop it. Billie asks her why she is doing this to her. Chelsea says she is doing it for her. She loves Bo – and she knows that. Billie says whether she does or doesn’t she won’t break up his marriage – she didn’t then, she won’t know. Chelsea goes on an on about how much she knows Billie regretted her decision – Bo is the one true love of her life and Chelsea knows that deep down inside Bo loves her. She then threatens Billie telling her that either she does this or not to bother visiting her in prison – she won’t see her – she won’t have a mother. Chelsea walks away.
Brady Pub Abby joins Chelsea at a booth. Chelsea says you won’t believe what happened last night. Abby says wanna bet and holds up the intruder with Chelsea’s picture (she’s drinking a beer) splashed on the cover. Chelsea grabs it and scans the article. She says it’s a lie – she never offered to have sex with him. She gives a far tamer version of what happened than what actually transpired. She can’t figure out how he still had the picture and then complains that it’s not even a good picture of her. Abby says that’s the least of her worries. She is supposed to be keeping a low profile and being caught drinking in a bar when she’s underage isn’t going to help. It doesn’t look that she is sorry for what she did. Chelsea says she is. Abby thinks that Frankie is going to have a hard time defending her if she keeps making things worse. Abby says and what are Billie and Bo going to say. Chelsea says they can’t let Bo see this.
Preview Mimi to Shawn and Bo: I just think forgiveness is really important. Bo – I just hope someday Shawn’s mom forgives me. Sami to Lucas – I am going to be with Austin. Just you wait and see. Lexie to Carrie – Which man do you want most? Carrie – Austin! (Sami overhears this). Austin to Lucas – Are those (flowers) for Carrie. Lucas – Yeah actually I got a hot date. Austin – Sorry man. There ain’t no way that date is going to happen.

Park Lexie comes out of the Brady Pub and Tek pounces on her. She says no but kisses him anyway. She pulls away and says she won’t be unfaithful to Abe. She runs off with Tek in hot pursuit. Lexie resorts to hiding behind bushes to escape from Tek – how ridiculous is this? Carrie sees her and calls out her name startling her. Lexie sees that Carrie is troubled and asks her if she would like to talk. They sit on a park bench to talk. Carrie tells Lexie she is caught between two men. Sami wanders by and overhears them so she hides behind a bush and eavesdrops. Carrie thought that it was over with Austin after he raided her company but … she tells Lexie the other man is Lucas. Carrie also tells her that Sami is interested in both men as well. She tells Lexie that Sami told her she had feelings for Austin and because she was so angry at Austin she told Sami to go for it. Lexie tells her she has nothing to worry about neither Austin or Lucas will ever take Sami back. Sami is not happy to hear that. Carrie goes on to say that she wants what Lexie has – a loving husband, a child – a family – her biological clock is ticking. Lexie tells her she has time. She says it is possible to be in love with two men at once but she will always love one a little more. She tells Carrie to close her eyes, not think about it just answer – which man does she love most. Carrie doesn’t hesitate and says Austin. Carrie thanks Lexie and says she has some thinking to do – she goes and sits on a different bench. Sami is not pleased with Lexie’s advice to Carrie. Tek comes alone and Sami sees him and Lexie kissing. Tek wants her right there right now and they sink to the ground. Sami is shocked but then thinks this information may come in handy.

Sibling’s Apartment bldg Sami enters Lucas’ apartment to see Will. He tells her he took Will to spend the night at the pub – he’s going to spend the night with Grandpa and Grandma. Sami asks him if he has hot date planned. She sees the floral centerpiece on the table and because they are her favourite flowers she thinks he is planning an evening with her. He says no, it’s Carrie. He says he forgot those were her favourite flowers – he’ll get different ones. Sami is hurt and goes on the attack and belittles Lucas’ chances with Carrie.

St Luke’s Father Jansen tells Mimi that marriage is based on honesty and trust. He can’t let her take vows in the church until she tells Shawn he is the father of Belle’s baby. Shawn slams the Intruder down and says your daughter ran down my little brother and now she’s out clubbing. This is the reason you lied to Mom to all of us – he points at Chelsea’s picture. Bo says it wasn’t like that. Shawn says it was exactly like that. This is why Mom left town and I wouldn’t blame her if she never spoke to you again. Bo gets a strange feeling and clutches his chest as he’s talking to Shawn. He tells Shawn that his mother would want to be here for his wedding. Shawn says she doesn’t need to be here in the same church where she just buried Zack. He wouldn’t do that to her. Father Jansen tells Mimi he’s sorry but it has to be this way. Mimi says she knows but what if when she tells Shawn the truth he wants to go back to Belle. He has old fashioned ideas about family – she says maybe not old-fashioned, traditional values which is why she loves him so much. He believes strongly that a child belongs with both his parents which is why he thinks Belle and Philip should stay together – which is why when he finds out that he is Claire’s father he will want to raise her with Belle. Belle will leave Philip and divorce him and then Shawn would marry Belle and she would lose Shawn forever. Father Jansen tells Mimi that she doesn’t know that that will happen. Regardless of Shawn’s traditional beliefs, he loves you very much. He is committed to you. Mimi knows he loves her but if he knew the truth she thinks it would change everything. Father Jansen tells her that is a chance she has to take. Shawn needs to know. He reminds her of what they talked about in their pre-marriage classes. Mimi says lies and deception have no place in a marriage. Father Jansen tells her she can not put it off any longer – she has to tell him today. Bo understands that he is angry but you are my son. Shawn says you are not coming to the wedding. I don’t want you there. I want to focus only on Mimi. She is all I need now. She is my family. Mimi joins them and asks what is going on. Shawn tells her that he was telling his father he is not welcome at the wedding. Bo asks him not to tear up the family any more … Shawn jumps on him and says now I’m breaking up the family. Mimi tells him to just stop the fighting. She has to talk to him – she has something very important she needs to tell him.
Sigh – I loved this conversation between Shawn and Mimi. Shawn asks Mimi what she wanted to say. She says she has to ask him for something and she realises its asking a lot but he can consider this his wedding present to her – it’s all she really wants. He says what is it? She says I want your forgiveness. Shawn asks my forgiveness??? Mimi tells him that this wedding should be about bringing families together not driving them apart or further apart. Your father should be there when you get married. So am I’m asking if you can find it in your heart to forgive him. Do you think you can do that? Shawn says I told you I would talk to him and I did that. Mimi understands that his Dad really disappointed him but he is still your father and he loves you and you still love him. Shawn says yeah but. Mimi says then you should be able to forgive him. We all make mistakes – sometimes very bad mistakes. And it’s usually because we’re afraid of losing the people we love. We don’t ever really think that we’re going to hurt someone. So if you love someone than you understand or will you will try to understand why they made that mistake. You won’t just shut them out of your life and close the door because if you do that, everyone loses. Please show me that you’re capable of forgiving – I really need to know that right now. Shawn says this is very important to you isn’t it. She says yes it is. He says alright my Dad can come to the wedding. Mimi says but do you forgive him? Shawn turns to Bo and says I forgive you because that is what Zack would want. He wouldn’t want us to fight. Bo says no son he wouldn’t. Shawn says so you’ll be there at the wedding tomorrow. Bo says that nothing will keep him away. Thank you Mimi. Mimi says she thinks that forgiveness is very important. Bo prays that one day Shawn’s mom will forgive him.
Bo has another bad feeling and says her name. Shawn says what about her. Bo says I just had this feeling – I’m worried that your mom is in trouble. His cell rings he answers it saying Hope? No one responds – he tells Shawn that no one said anything. He checks the caller ID – Blocked Number. Mimi says that you had a feeling that Hope was in trouble. Bo says he always worries about Shawn’s Mom – it’s probably nothing. He tells them he’s going to light a candle and say a prayer for Zack. Shawn tells Mimi he thought his parents would always be together. Seeing them apart makes him appreciate even more what they have – ‘our love and our trust means everything to me.’ They hug. Mimi sees Father Jansen. Mimi kneels down and prays and asks God for the strength to tell Shawn the truth and for him to forgive her. She tells Father Jansen she was praying for strength because she’s so afraid she won’t be able to tell him. Father Jansen says you know you have a moral obligation to tell him. Mimi says she doesn’t really have a choice because he won’t marry them otherwise. She might as well do it right now even if it means the wedding is never going to happen. Father Jansen tells her he’s not so sure that will happen. One thing he can promise her is that she will feel so much better once she unburdens herself. Mimi sits in the front pew. Shawn comes in and sits in the pew behind her. Mimi tells him she has to talk to him about Belle’s baby. She says we have a responsibility to Claire. Shawn jumps in and says yes as her godparents – we’ll always be there for her like a second set of parents. People she can count on and trust. Mimi is sure that she will always look at him that way. Shawn says and you too. Mimi says you are the perfect father figure, in fact Shawn you are a great Dad. Shawn hopes to be – he can’t wait to start a family with her. He can’t wait to be a father. Speaking of fathers – thank you for getting me to make up with mine. He knows that they don’t always see eye to eye, especially lately but he was very good to him as he was growing up as he was to Zach. He would have been with Chelsea as well. It explains the way he treats her right now. Shawn couldn’t imagine not knowing I had a daughter – someone out there keeping that information from me – I’d kill them. Bo lights a candle and says I know you’re in heaven Zack. I need your help Tiny Man. I need you to watch over you Mommy and keep her safe and if you can, bring her home. You know how much I love her. I can’t lose her. Shawn says is this what you wanted to talk about – our responsibility to Claire. Mimi wants to be a good godparent and wonders if there is more she could be doing. Shawn tells her she is a great godmother just likes he knows she is going to be a great mom to their kids. Father Jansen enters. Shawn tells him that they are out there and that they will see him tomorrow at the wedding. Father Jansen shakes Shawn’s hand and says I take it that Mimi told you. Shawn says told me what? Freeze frame ending on Mimi.

Hope ties the rope around James and Patrick pulls him up first. More of the ledge crumbles. Hope yells for Patrick to hurry. Hope has a hard time reaching the rope. The ledge gives way so she hangs from a branch that is growing out of the side of the cliff. She finally grabs the rope just as the branch gives way. Patrick gets her over the side and lies her down on the grass with his jacket under her head. He asks her if she is hurt. She tells him she can’t feel her legs. He sends James and the Sister for the doctor. He then says he is going to call Bo. He does Bo answers and he hands the cell phone to Hope but she ends the connection without talking to him. The doctor examines her. She is getting some of the feeling back in her legs. He tells her and Patrick that she has a sprained back – she should be in a hospital. Hope says no hospitals. Patrick knows what to do. The next we see Hope she is in bed sleeping back at Patrick’s place. He brings her some tea. She thanks him for saving her – it wasn’t the first time and with her luck she’s sure it will happen again. Patrick says he will always be there for her.
Brady Pub Austin comes in and asks Caroline to prepare all of Carrie’s favourite foods – he’s planning a romantic picnic for her. Austin sits down to have coffee as he is waiting. Lucas comes downstairs and tells Caroline that Will and Grandpa Shawn are watching the game. He asks her to make Carrie’s favourite dessert – he has a very romantic dinner planned for her. Caroline says oh boy. Lucas asks her if she thinks he has a chance with Carrie. She says yes. She tells him she did like him with her other granddaughter as well. Lucas doesn’t want to talk about Sami – he tells Caroline we will never be together. Caroline says the best advice she can give him is to never say never. She goes to serve Austin more coffee. She asks him about Sami. He says that they are good friends and they work well together most of the time but there will never be anything romantic between them. Their orders are ready at the same time – Caroline manages to get the orders to them without them seeing each other. Bo comes in. They mention the article. Bo tells Caroline that he got a text message from Hope – she wants to be alone. She will be home for the trial. She wants him to choose between her and his daughter. Caroline says that is a tough decision for him. She advises him to go and find Hope or risk losing her forever.
Preview: Marlena – I’m married to Alex so why can’t I stop thinking about John? John to Lexie and Abe – What would you do if some son of a bitch was out to get Lexie? (We see Tek). Austin to Lucas – You can’t accept the fact that she doesn’t love you and she never will. Belle to Shawn – You and I … Shawn – Are over. If you’re not going to be happy for the both of us than I really don’t want you there at the wedding tomorrow.

Pat’s Spoilers
Penthouse Marlena asks Alex why he didn’t have the bracelet engraved which gives Alex the opportunity to make smart remarks to himself. He lies and says he didn’t know if she will like it but now that he knows she does he’ll get in engraved. More silent smart remarks. Marlena acts like a pre-pubescent teen in the throes of her first crush. Lexie is there to see her. Alex leaves them alone but as soon as Lexie says that John sent her Alex comes charging in saying he is Marlena’s husband and as soon as they renew their vows John will be out of their lives. He insults Lexie – she returns the favour. Lexie asks to see the over the counter sleep aid Marlena is taking. Alex hands her the bottle. Lexie asks a few questions. Alex takes the bottle of pills. Lexie wants to examine her but Alex won’t let her and ushers her out of the room. Alex and Marlena talk about their honeymoon – the remote, private location where Alex says no one will be able to find them. He has a letter that states that Lois left his as executor. He doesn’t want to do it. Marlena says he should. Alex has a flashback to being in the cabin with Lois and asking her if there were any photos or love letters lying around – she says they are hidden away. Alex tells Marlena he has to go to the travel agency and rushes out. Marlena thinks about kissing John and wonders why she keeps thinking of John when Alex is her husband.
Brady Pub Abe and Tek are sitting across from Shawn. Abe is not happy about John getting Lexie to go check on Marlena. Alex North is a dangerous man. John reminds Abe that Lexie was the one that brought Alex to Salem. Abe also lectures John about breaking into the penthouse. John tells them about Marlena asking him to stay the night, kissing him – he thought she had her memory back. Alex called out and everything changed. Marlena became disoriented and started calling him Alex – they’re back to square one. He thinks Alex is drugging her but he doesn’t have any proof. Abe asks him how he got out of there. John has a flashback to Alex checking the door. Alex calls out that he has the key – John kisses Marlena and slips on to the terrace. He tells Abe he waited until it was all clear and got out of there. More of a lecture from Abe – Lexie joins them so Tek moves to sit down next to John. Lexie tells John that Marlena is taking a mild sleeping pill and some of the side effects are similar to what John describes. From her observation of Marlena Lexie tells him that she doesn’t think she is being drugged. Abe thinks John should stay away from Marlena. John asks him what he would do if some son of bitch tried to take Lexie from him. Tek drinks his coffee. John asks Abe if he would sit back and let it happen. Abe wouldn’t. They end up talking about Lois and John says she can talk from the grave. He wants Abe to come with him to the place where Lois lived. Abe is worried about leaving Lexie alone. Tek offers to look after her. Right after Abe and John leave Tek starts making his moves – the slime ball. Lexie gives her token protest and then agrees to go out with him.
Lois’ cabin: Alex rifles through drawers looking for anything that would show he had a relationship with Lois. After searching the cabin and leaving a mess he turns up the pilot light. He feels that if there was any incriminating evidence that Lois left behind this should take care of it. He goes out the front door and comes face to face with John and Abe. John asks him what he is doing there.
Lucas’ Austin knocks on the door and asks if Carrie is there. This is just an asinine argument between two brothers that both want Carrie. Lucas claims that Carrie will never forgive Austin – Austin claims that Carrie will never love Lucas – he should just admit it. The argument continues throughout the show. Lucas says we’ll see who Carrie wants to have dinner with – we’ll ask her. Carrie and Sami have just walked in the door. Both men ask Carrie to have dinner with them – Sami fumes but suggests that the four of them have dinner together. Carrie doesn’t like being put on the spot like this and thinks Sami has made a good suggestion. The two men stare back at her.
Park Carrie is on the ground writhing in pain calling out for help. Sami thinks to herself that Carrie doesn’t care about how she feels so why should she care about her. She turns to walk away but sneezes. Carrie’s pain is subsiding. She hears the sneeze and asks whose there so Sami comes out from behind the tree. Sami acts all concerned when she sees how pale Carrie is and insists that she see a doctor. Carrie says the pain has passed. She wants to talk to Sami about Austin. Sami knows exactly what Carrie is going to say so she doesn’t let her get in a word edgewise. She basically lays it on thick trying to guilt Carrie into not being with Austin. Carrie tries to tell her that her feelings towards Austin have changed but Sami never gives her the opportunity.
St Luke’s Outside the church Philip calls Bonnie (Belle and Claire are with him) and asks if everything is ready. She tells him it will be as soon as gets there. Bonnie says that she and Calliope came to an understanding – we hear someone knocking inside a port-a potty. Bonnie tells them to get there before Shawn and Mimi do.
Inside the church Father Jansen says to Shawn that he takes it that Mimi told him the truth. Flashback to the confessional scene. Shawn says truth about what. Father J says the truth about Claire. Shawn says we just had a long talk about Claire. Another flashback – sigh. Mimi tells Father Jansen that they talked about his responsibilities to Claire. Shawn says he’s fully prepared to live up to them. Father J says even though you’ll be married to Mimi. Shawn says of course. Father J says “I’m surprised.” Shawn says “I’m confused”- LOL! Father J says he wasn’t sure that Shawn would be happy without his own child in his life. Not that Claire isn’t a part of his life now. Shawn says it took a while to accept it but he loves Mimi so much it doesn’t matter that they can’t have their own children. He adds that they are planning to adopt and they are going to love their kids just as much as they love Claire. Father J asks just to be sure – you’ve discussed the situation and you are agreed? Shawn says yes we have. Father J says then I give you my blessing and I would be proud to marry you tomorrow. Shawn and Mimi thank him and he leaves. Shawn says to Mimi – that was a little strange. Mimi – says yeah, let’s just go home – she needs to get her beauty rest for tomorrow. Shawn says she doesn’t need any beauty rest. He knows that it’s the night before their wedding but there’s somewhere special he walks to take her. She asks him where – he says he can’t tell her, it wouldn’t be a surprise than.
Park Shawn removes Mimi’s blindfold – the first thing she sees is the gazebo in the park – it’s covered in little sparkling white lights. Shawn says dedicated to the one I love. A waiter removes a cover cloth from on top of table. Mimi says Shawn you did all this. He says he had a little help. Philip, Belle and Bonnie come out from behind the bushes. I don’t know where Claire is – they probably left her in the car … sigh. Shawn smiles down at Mimi and says I would do anything for you because you are the woman I am going to spend the rest of my life with (sigh his voice when he talks to her – he’s so in love …). They kiss. Philip and Bonnie smile Belle stares. All five of them now have glasses of champagne. Shawn wants to thank them setting this up and just for being here. Philip says of course but he thinks it’s about time they got back to the other woman in his life. He looks down at Belle and says don’t you think. Shawn says not yet. He knows that tomorrow is going to be a very hectic day and he wanted to have a private celebration – a rehearsal dinner to thank them all for everything you’ve done for us. And most importantly he would like to propose a toast to his future wife. Shawn looks only at Mimi as he gives his toast. He says “It’s amazing just to say … I’m so excited to be your life long partner. And I promise to love you, to honour you, to comfort and keep you in sickness and in health forsaking all others. I’ll always be faithful to you for as long as both of us shall live. (Belle is not happy – green – shall we say – she starts drinking before Shawn finishes the toast). I say that all now in case Father Jansen talks to fast or I past out and forget what I’m supposed to say. That’s how I feel. Bonnie joins them and they do the traditional glass clink. Shawn and Mimi kiss – Belle drinks. Mimi thanks them – saying that this was really sweet. Philip says don’t thank us – it was all your man over there. Philip says he would like some one on one time with the bride to be (the music is now playing – James Blunt - Beautiful). Shawn says he wouldn’t mind have a dance with the matron of honour. Bonnie takes the waiter for a dance. Shawn is all smiles – he tells Belle that it’s crazy to thing that tomorrow he is going to be married. Belle says yeah it’s pretty crazy. She has to admit that she is wondering if he is going to change his mind and call off the wedding.
Shawn doesn’t respond to Belle so she asks him where they are going on their honeymoon. Shawn isn’t sure – they have to sit down with Kate and plan it. Belle thinks it’s pretty incredible to be going on an all expenses paid trip to all the romantic spots around the world. Shawn says yes it’s going to be amazing and all they have to do is document it for Salem Style magazine. He thinks he’ll take the pictures and let Mimi do the writing. Belle is very sarcastic and says well that seems like a pretty good reason to not call off the wedding. Shawn is very ticked off now – He says – and he makes it very clear – That isn’t why I’m going through with the wedding. I love Mimi and you are married and you have a child. Belle says You and I … Shawn cuts in and says ‘are over. So would you stop torturing us both by pretending we’re not. If you’re not going to be happy for the both of us I really don’t want you there tomorrow. And then he walks away. Bonnie hugs Mimi and says tomorrow all your dreams will come true and when Shawn’s trust fund kicks in. Mimi tells her that Father Jansen told her he wouldn’t marry them unless she told Shawn the truth. Bonnie tells her that she can’t tell him – than worried that Mimi already did. Mimi says she lied and somehow Father Jansen thinks she told the truth so on top of everything she has now lied to a priest. Bonnie says it’s about time you did the right thing. Mimi can’t believe that Bonnie thinks lying to Father Jansen and Shawn is the right thing to do. Bonnie says maybe right thing is the wrong choice of words but it’s the smart choice. She has to do whatever she can to hold on to her man – a little white lie never hurt anyone. Mimi says this is more than a little white lie and she doesn’t know if she can take those sacred vows tomorrow. Bonnie says the vows are about promising to love and honour each other – it doesn’t say you have to say anything about him being the father of someone else’s baby. Mimi says that she is just being ridiculous. Bonnie tells Mimi that she’ll sprinkle a few drops of the holy water on her while they’re in the bride’s room. Mimi says stolen holy water isn’t going to cleanse me of my sins while I’m lying to my husband on our wedding day in front of God. Bonnie tells her all she has to do is look into Shawn’s eyes, the eyes of the man she loves and is going to spend the rest of her life with and lie. It’s amazing what true love can really do. Philip says to Shawn – It’s a big day tomorrow. Philip has some advice – do not sweat the small stuff – relax, go with the flow and enjoy your big day. Shawn says hopefully I can enjoy it more than you guys enjoyed yours. Philip says that would be nice. Shawn tells Philip it means a hell of a lot to him that they’re still friends and that Philip is going to be his best man. Philip says no one is happier besides the two of them than he is for them. Meems is the best and they are going to have what he has with Belle. Belle lurks and watches and thinks to herself – I can’t give up on Shawn. It’s wrong. We belong together. I have to find a way to stop this wedding – OMG – that look on her face – let’s just say – scary …. Very scary!
Preview: We see Marlena and then an explosion. Hope to Patrick (they’re in a hot tub) – Oh my god, what’s happening. Billie to Bo – Bo, she’s gone (Chelsea). Austin to Carrie – I need you in my life. I lost you once and I’m not going to let it happen again. Belle talking in her sleep – Mimi overhears – Shawn. I have to stop the wedding.

Shawn/Mimi/Philip/Belle: They come out of their bedroom. Shawn says he’s ready. Mimi says “Babe, the party in the park was so fun. Thanks for arranging it. Shawn tells her he would do anything to make her happy. Mimi says he does – everyday. Shawn smiles and says we’ll see if you say that after ten years of marriage. She tells him after ten years she’ll tell him. He looks at her and says the next time I see you you’ll be walking down the aisle at St. Luke’s. Mimi says it’s a date and tells him she’s going to miss him tonight. He says it’s only for one night apart – our last night. She likes that. He tells her that he’s the luckiest guy in the world – tomorrow he gets to marry the most incredible girl. They kiss. Mimi has a flashback to the confessional and the guilt sets in. Shawn looks at her and asks her if she is okay. Belle is giving Philip child care instructions (like the guy needs them!). He tells her he got it. Just go across the hall and have a good time with the bride to be. She says she can’t go through with this.
Shawn and Mimi sit on the couch. Shawn says something’s wrong – tell me. She says it’s nothing. Shawn sighs and says you are such a liar. Mimi says she is a nervous bride to believe. She can’t believe she is getting married tomorrow. He says he is nervous too but he can’t wait to make her his wife. He can’t wait until they start their life together. They kiss. Philip asks Belle what she can’t go through with. Cue flashback to the rooftop. Philip thinks she can’t leave Claire for the night. You’re going to miss her. She says yeah.

They kiss. Shawn and Mimi walk in. Philip jokes doesn’t anyone knock anymore? Philips says the countdown is on – in a few more hours – the future Mr. and Mrs. Shawn Brady are standing in front of them. Mimi says it’s unbelievable. She thanks Philip for looking after her man for the night – she hopes he has nothing too wild planned. Philip says he guesses he’ll have to cancel the strippers. He’s just teasing. He’s got movies – some pop, some light beer – Shawn says light beer? Mimi asks if he has a movie her and Belle could watch. They go to pick one out. Belle grabs Shawn’s hand and asks him to meet her on the roof tonight. He says no. She says Shawn, please. He says I am not going to sneak around on them not tonight. Mimi has a movie. She tells Shawn goodnight and says it’s going to be hard to sleep tonight knowing he’s right across the hall. He says this is the last night that anything is going to keep them apart. They hug. Mimi is laughing and then notices Belle’s sullen expression and asks what is wrong. Belle says everything.
When next we see Shawn and Philip they’re both sleeping sprawled out on the couch with their bottles in their hand. Claire is crying. Shawn wakes up Phil and says Claire needs a bottle. Phil says you’re the godfather – it’s your turn. Shawn grabs a bottle from the fridge and puts it in the bottle warmer. As he waits he sees a picture – it’s of Claire and Belle – he touches Claire with his finger. He feeds her and talks to her. He tells her not to get a swollen head but he thinks she is the most beautiful baby girl he’s ever seen. One day he hopes to have a daughter just as beautiful. He kisses her forehead. Mimi cries as the movie ends. She talks to Belle about it but Belle is sleeping. Mimi shuts off the TV and Belle starts talking in her sleep. She says Shawn. You can’t marry Mimi. I have to stop the wedding. Mimi picks up the phone and calls someone saying I know it’s late but we have a problem.
Morgan Island: Hope is sitting in a beach chair with her feet stretched out. Patrick says she doesn’t look very comfortable and asks how her back is doing. He thinks she should go to the clinic. She says no – there’s nothing they can for a sprained back. He would like to do something to make her feel better – she has to trust him. Hope now has her hair pinned up and has changed into a bathing suit. Patrick lowers her into a lagoon. She knows swimming is good exercise but doesn’t know if her back will allow it. He tells her there’s a legend about the ocean water – this is the beach that the woman in the legend washed up and legend says the water is magical and comes alive at night. There’s some noise and activity in the water and then light – Hope says OMG, what’s happening. It’s a school of lantern fish and legend has they illuminate people that need help. Hope says because of my back – he says no to light your way because you’re lost. He tells her to go home to Bo. She says she can’t. The fish are going back out to sea and he tells her to make a wish and it will come true. She says it’s not possible. She only has one wish and that is for her, Bo and Zack to be together and that can never be.
Bo & Billie Chelsea sneaks out of the Lockhart house. Billie has a flashback to part of her conversation with Chelsea and knows she did the right thing by not trying to break up Bo and Hope all those years ago. She wouldn’t have succeeded – Bo and Hope belong together. There’s a knock on the door – it’s Bo. He says I’m sorry and hugs her – she smiles. He feels bad because he got angry and ran out on them leaving her to deal with Chelsea alone. She says she wishes she had done so as well – he has nothing to be sorry for. He’s dealing with a lot. She tells him that she told Chelsea’s about Hope’s email and that he won’t be testifying on her behalf. He wants to talk to Chelsea. Billie goes to her room – she’s gone. They make calls but no one knows where she is. Bo’s cell rings. It’s Max. He tells them Chelsea is at Dunes and the guy she is with gives him a really bad feeling. Billie says what is she thinking – she hasn’t learned anything.
Club Dune: Tek and Lexie arrive. She’s gone home and changed. Tex introduces her to the owner Jada. Jada asks Lexie if her husband knows she is out clubbing with Salem’s sexiest bachelor. Tek says she’s just kidding – he introduces Lexie as an old friend. They get a private booth. Lexie feels guilty but not guilty enough to start kissing Tek. After the kisses she says she has to stop being unfaithful to her husband. He says she only has half a husband … she tells him not to talk about Abe like that. He says they shouldn’t waste the music – let’s dance. He opens the curtain around their private booth and they see familiar faces – Lexie is upset. The curtain gets closed quickly and she accuses Tek of setting her up. He says he’s been at the club many times and never seen anyone he knows there before – he would never hurt her. Lexie kisses him.
Carrie & Austin, Sami & Lucas are outside the club. Carrie doesn’t look well. She feels warm. Lucas suggests they go home. Carrie says she’ll be fine – she just needs a glass of water. Austin & Lucas both escort her inside leaving Sami to fume and vow that Carrie is not going to get away with this. Lucas goes to the bar to get some water for Carrie. Austin asks Carrie to dance. Sami fumes. Eugenia arrives – she’s friends with Jada. They dish Sami. Lucas comes back and Sami and he exchange a few words – he’s off to get water again. He runs into Eugenia and she lectures him in her whiny voice about being with Sami. He says he isn’t he’s with Carrie. Eugenia says it looks like Carrie is with Austin. Lucas says he’s going to cut in now. Austin declares his undying love for Carrie and asks for another chance. He’s want a life with her. He thought they would have babies by now. Carrie asks him if it’s warm in here and then collapses against him. Lucas and Austin tend to Carrie – Sami fumes.
Chelsea arrives and some guy at the bar is checking out parts of her anatomy with his PDA screen. She sidles up to him at the bar and he offers to buy her a drink. Max arrives and orders a beer and sees Chelsea and the guy sitting at a table. The guy wants to know more about her – she wants to know more about him. He gets a call and says he has to take them. He’ll get them more drinks. The bartender asks him if he wants to start a tab – he says no this should about do it. He pours some powder into Chelsea’s drink. Max goes to Chelsea and asks her if she is crazy or just plain stupid. He reminds her of what happened the other night when she hit on a guy. She answers that she’s letting this guy hit on her. He tells her if she wants to ruin her life she’s going to have to do it alone. He leaves. Derek brings the drinks and asks her if she knows that guy. She says he’s no one important. She starts drinking. She says the drink is very strong but she likes things that are strong. Derek suggests they go someplace a little private. She agrees.
Penthouse: Marlena is awoken from a deep sleep when the phone rings. It’s about Lois. She says they need to talk to Alex North. She goes to get him. She is very disoriented. She says he’s not there. The call is about funeral arrangements for Lois – her and Alex have talked about this and they know Lois would want to be buried in her own clothes. She’ll call Alex on his cell and tell him to call them. She tries him but doesn’t get an answer. She decides to go to Lois’ cabin.
Lois’ Cabin: Alex, John and Abe have the same dialogue that they’ve had since the beginning of time. Each wants to know what the other is doing there. Alex says he is the executor of Lois’ will and he pulls out the documents to prove it. John says he always has his bases covered – he’s been planning this since the beginning. Alex plays innocent. John says you won’t mind if we look around than. He and Abe to check around the outside of the cabin first. Alex smirks and says to himself – hope you find something explosive. While they’re talking Marlena enters the cabin from the back. Whatever it that Alex turned the pilot light up on high is starting to smoke and rumble as Marlena walks through the dark cabin. She sees a picture of her, Lois and Alex and wishes she could remember when the picture was taken and then maybe she would know why Lois hated her. She goes upstairs. She is packing the outfit when she hears something and turns. John, Abe and Alex all notice her car at the same time. Alex says Marlena you’re not supposed to die yet. Explosion.
Preview: Sami screaming at John – You promise to protect her yet you never do. It is all your fault John. Lucas to a sleeping Carrie – You deserve to have a wonderful life. I just hope I’m the man who will give it to you. Billie to Bo – Please don’t throw your daughter’s life away. You already lost one child. If Chelsea goes to jail you will lose her too. Chelsea smirks. Patrick to Hope – This is goodnight I guess. Hope – goodnight. They kiss.

Pat’s Spoilers
The Lofts Mimi is in the hallway pacing when Kate arrives. Mimi tells Kate that she overheard Belle talking in her sleep. Kate says so what you’re marrying Shawn tomorrow and there is nothing Belle can do about it. Mimi says that Belle says she won’t be marrying Shawn tomorrow. Kate says what do you think she’s going to do – try and pull some stunt to stop the wedding. This is Belle we’re talking about. Kate wonders if Belle has learned some tricks from Sami on how to stop weddings and ruin lives – they can’t let that happen. Mimi doesn’t know what to do. They decide to go on the roof and talk. Belle has a dream – Shawn is shirtless on the rooftop – thinking of her – in Belle’s fantasy he’s madly in love with her. Yuck. She wakes up (LMAO at their choice of music when she wakes up – scary) and says she has to tell him how she feels before he marries Mimi. Excuse me – but duh – haven’t you told him numerous times already – he didn’t change his mind then – highly unlike he’s going to change it now. Shawn is sleeping – he says Mimi’s name and then Belle’s. He dreams he’s on the rooftop (in his dream he sure as heck isn’t shirtless) – Belle shows up – he isn’t happy to see her and turns away from her. She needs to know who he loves more – her or Mimi. He doesn’t answer – She says Shawn … it’s really Belle calling him from the fire escape. She wants to see him on the roof.
Mimi says she should just tell the truth. Kate says you’re going to give up on your future just like that? She needs to stop feeling so guilty and start thinking about all the people who would be hurt if the truth comes out. Mimi says Belle and Shawn won’t be hurt – they’ll live happily ever after with their daughter. Kate says that isn’t true because Belle is married to Philip. They are happy – they are a family – they have a beautiful daughter – do you think Belle stays up nights worried about you? Mimi says of course not. She is maybe not being the best friend to me right now but I’m being a terrible friend. Kate says she is doing Belle the biggest favour that has ever been done to her. Mimi is in love with Shawn – he’s in love with her – she’s the best thing that ever happened to him. What’s the problem? Mimi says she shouldn’t have to lie to the guy she is about to marry. She shouldn’t have to worry about him being in love with someone else. Kate reminds her that she was on this roof a few days ago when Belle told Shawn she was still in love with him and he told her that he wants to spend his life with you. Why are you so insecure? Mimi says maybe because they’ve been in love with each other their whole lives and if Shawn knew he was Claire’s father all his dreams would come true and Belle’s too. They hear someone coming up the fire escape so they go into the stairwell. Shawn tells Belle they shouldn’t be up there – he told her that he didn’t want to do this. She had to talk to him. He says why? She begs him not to marry Mimi – he knows this wedding is a big mistake. He is not happy and he turns away from her – Mimi just shakes her head.
Belle says she knows that he doesn’t love Mimi with his whole heart (Shawn shakes his head). She tells him not to make the same mistake she did. Don’t make things worst by marrying someone you don’t completely love. Shawn finally faces her and says I thought we were done with this conversation. I am not going to cancel my wedding to Mimi tomorrow. I will not do that to her. Mimi says you would if you knew Claire was your baby. Kate mutters OMG. Shawn continues and he’s not happy – he says - How can you tell me not to marry her? You married Philip. You made your choice and now I’ve made mine (he gets back the infamous open-mouthed slack jawed stare look). He is going to make something perfectly clear. He says I do love Mimi. It might be different that what you and I had but we are very happy together. My future is with her. He walks away from her and then stops and half turns and says we can’t go back to the past. It’s a waste of our lives and we have so much love to give. Claire needs you. Mimi and I can’t wait to be parents. Belle is in her own little world – she tells him to stop. To stop acting like you and Mimi are going to go off and get married and live happily ever after. Shawn looks at her strangely and asks her what she is talking about. Belle snarls at him ‘you’re not going to (she shakes her finger at him) – I will not let you. There is no way I am going to let you marry Mimi. Oh my that look in Shawn’s eyes … YIKES – look out Belle – I think you just showed how unstable you really are. Both Mimi and Kate are stunned.
Belle says all she knows is that she loves him. She tried to stop – she can’t help it. He turns to face her – he talks about driving his bike through the stained glass window, something his grandmother will probably never forgive him for, in a vain attempt to stop her marriage to Philip. She turns her back on him and he tells her to hear him out. You said it’s a different kind of love you have for Philip and that is probably true. He says that sometimes he thinks he doesn’t know what love is. Is it something that happens to you or do you make it happen? You said you loved Philip enough to marry him and I love Mimi enough to marry her. And it’s not a second best kind of love. It’s different but it’s good. Mimi and I have a real chance to be happy here. We want the same things starting with a child. Yeah we’ll have to adopt but we’ll love our child as much as you and Philip love Claire. And that is the bottom line. You and Philip have Claire – he’s the father of your baby. Mimi makes a noise. Shawn asks whose there? Shawn goes to the doorway to check and says no one else is up here. Belle follows him and puts her arms around him and says you know if you marry Mimi tomorrow we can never have the future we dreamed about. (Huh – and you didn’t think of this when you married Philip – good lord this woman is just so full of herself). He pulls away from and says I know. That’s the way it has to be. It’s the best thing for everybody especially Claire. In the hallway Kate says my daughter in law is trying to ruin your life. We have to make sure she doesn’t do anything to stop the wedding. Mimi says what’s the use? If Shawn knew he was Claire’s father he’d obviously want to be with Belle. Don’t I deserve a man who really loves me? Kate asks her if she loves Shawn. Mimi says so much, it hurts. Kate says than don’t say anything about the baby and you’ll be Mrs. Shawn Brady tomorrow and for the rest of your life. Mimi says but how? Kate says don’t worry about it. I’ll take care of everything.
Morgan Island Patrick carries her to bed. He asks if there is anything she needs. She would like a shower to get rid of the salt water. He says the cold water of the shower would make her muscles tense again. He has an idea of what might help. He comes and carries her outside to an old fashioned copper tub – flowers floating in the water. She is grateful – he says he would do anything for her. After her bath he carries her back to bed. They say goodnight. Patrick has a steamy fantasy of them kissing and Hope telling him she wants him. He goes outside to sleep on the hammock telling himself she’s a married woman. She belongs with Bo. He remembers his fantasy – Hope holds Zack’s stuffed animal and thinks about Bo and what will happen to them now.
Club Dune Bo and Billie arrive. Bo is not happy with Chelsea. Billie thinks she is acting out because she is afraid of going to prison. Bo says coming to a club was a dumb move. Billie says they made some dumb moves at her age as well. She tells him to get his badge out before they go inside. (HUH – didn’t Bo tell John he took a leave of absence – he’s still carrying his badge???) They go inside – they can’t see her. Carrie is in a lot of pain. Austin and Lucas hover over her. Sami asks if she is really in pain. They decide she needs a doctor. Sami sees Lexie and goes to get her. First she asks Lexie what she is doing her – Lexie tells her it’s none of her business. Sami tells her Carrie needs a doctor. Lexie rushes over and decides Carrie has to be taken to the hospital. Austin and Lucas argue over whose car she should be taken in – Lexie tells them to just get her to the trauma center. Derek can’t wait until they take the party back to his place and she can meet the other girls. Chelsea tells him that she’s not into that. He tells her to finish her drink. She gets up saying she doesn’t want to. He grabs her arm and says when he tells her to drink, she drinks. Bo grabs the guy and says that’s my daughter. Derek says you can have her – she’s a tease – they start to brawl. Billie takes Chelsea outside and lectures her telling her she could have ended up in a place worse than jail. Chelsea doesn’t think any place can be worse. Billie says that potential jurors could have seen her drinking in a bar tonight – she’s making it impossible for any jury to let her off. She sees Chelsea is scared and hopes that means she’ll start behaving well. Derek takes off and Bo tackles him outside and tells him he’s a cop. He grabs Derek’s PDA. Derek kicks Bo and either gets his PDA or destroys it and tells Bo that cops need evidence. He takes off.
Lockharts Chelsea feels weird – she thinks she has been drugged. Bo pulls out a small package and says yes you were. These are meant to make sure you don’t resist. More of a lecture. Bo has the memory stick from the PDA and says we’ll see what kind of pictures he was taken. Chelsea didn’t know he was doing that. She tells them she has to go lie down – she eavesdrops from the hallway. Bo sees the pictures and videos of other young girls that Derek has sexually abused and says he has enough evidence to nail the guy. Billie tells him he can’t use it because it could damage Chelsea’s chances at trial. Bo says what about all the other girls this guy victimized or will victimize. I’m a cop – I took an oath. Billie lays the guilt trip on him. She tells him to stop thinking like a cop and think like a father. Chelsea is not entirely to blame – you gave her the keys. She says as much as you need Hope to forgive you and you want to stand by her side – that’s how much Chelsea needs her. Don’t do this to Chelsea and don’t this to her (Billie). He’s already lost one child. If Chelsea goes to jail he’ll lose her. He sits down at the computer and says I know this illegal – I’ll delete all the files with Chelsea and we can still nail this guy. Billie hugs him – Chelsea says good work Mom. Get closer to Dad and I won’t have to serve any jail time at all.
Lois’ Cabin Replay of the explosion except this time John and Abe see Marlena through the window and she’s on the main floor – not upstairs – WTH??? Abe tries to stop John from going in but John charges in. Abe follows and saves John from being crushed by a falling timber. Alex peers in the back door – he was hoping it was John that was going to die. John sees him and tells Abe – but Abe doesn’t see him. Alex takes off when he hears the sirens of the emergency vehicles. John tells the firemen it was arson. They head to the hospital.
Hospital Carrie is rushed into an exam room. Austin and Lucas fret – Sami mutters about all the attention Carrie gets. Marlena is brought in – Carrie goes for surgery. Lucas tells Sam to go and get coffee. She hears a couple of nurses talking about Dr. Evans being brought in – she was in a fire and she may not surprise. A nurse tells Austin and Lucas that Carrie is out of surgery. They both want to see her – only one can go in. Lucas says he lives with her so he goes. Austin vows not to let anyone come between him and Carrie. Lucas sits at her bedside and tells Carrie he hopes she has a wonderful life and that he is the man that gives her that life. He says she is his destiny – he always knew that. Now is the perfect time for them to be together – no one will come between them. Carrie says Austin’s name. Alex shows up to find out how Marlena is doing. John accuses him of trying to kill them. He says that he saw him outside. Abe can’t back up John – he hopes the arson unit finds something. Alex thinks it was Lois – she knew as his executor that he would have to go to the cabin. She probably rigged it to blow when he got there. John says are you saying Lois knew she was going to die? Alex thinks it’s time to see his wife. This gives Sami her chance to rag on John and scream at him. John points to Alex and says that is the man to blame – if your mother dies her blood is on his hands. Abe goes to get Austin to calm down Sami – Austin steers her away. Lexie comes out and tells John she has news and it isn’t good.
Preview: Carrie to Lexie – Are you telling me I could be infertile? Sami to an unconscious Marlena – Remember us and forget about Alex North. Alex – I want to see her. John – No way. You’re the lousy bastard that set the explosion that almost killed her. Belle to Caroline – I wish Claire was Shawn’s child. Everything would be a whole lot easier, wouldn’t it? Victor hears this. Bo to Shawn – If Belle wasn’t married would Mimi be the woman you chose to marry and spend the rest of your life with?

Friday Mar 17
Janice’s Spoilers
Note: I thought the scenes with Shawn and Bo were extremely well acted today. Shawn definitely showed how confused and conflicted he is at the moment. What interested me was that while a Belle—so very unrecognizable from what the character used to be—sat inside the pub, Shawn was outside the pub talking about the Belle he remembered. Does this open the door for a shelle reunion? I’m going to be honest and say that I have been expecting these feelings to surface for some time. After all, Shawn and Belle shared a first love together. The timing of his words seems very suspicious though. Personally I think he is going to realize that the Belle he thought he loved is not the Belle of today. As well, I think he was answering based on the fact that all things being even...if Belle wasn’t married...then he never would have hooked up with Mimi...so all of this is moot. I could be wrong, but I saw these scenes as a red herring moment where he starts to come full circle and what happens next will be pivotal to the success of either shelle or shimi as a couple. Just my opinion and I’m sure others will feel differently.
As well, I have to say how angry I personally am that Belle would talk down to Caroline the way she did today. Her disrespect was totally unwarranted and I don’t excuse her so-called drunkenness as acceptable behavior either. Caroline is Shawn’s grandmother and a respected senior citizen. She did not deserve Belle’s smart-ass know-it-all attitude.
And kudos to Ali again today. Great performance.
Brady Pub: Shawn Sr., Caroline, Victor, Belle, Heather
The pub is packed with people celebrating St. Patrick’s Day. Shawn Sr. offers a free round on the house. Caroline tells Victor it is their busiest day of her year. Shawn Sr. wants to toast Shawn’s marriage to Mimi tomorrow. Victor and Caroline join in. Caroline takes a pitcher and makes her way around the pub. She comes upon Belle.
In a booth all by her lonesome, sits a very unhappy/heavily imbibing Isabella Black. Caroline is surprised to see her there by herself, drinking a whole pitcher of beer, and asks if this is some kind of bachelorette party. She sits down across from Belle and asks whether or not Belle shouldn’t be helping plan the wedding, since she is the maid of honor. Belle just looks at her in a daze. The older woman asks whether this is Belle’s way of saying a final goodbye to Shawn. Belle looks her straight in the eye and declares a little beligerantly: “Not if I can help it!” Caroline looks shocked. Belle makes an arrogant promise. She says: “As far as this wedding “thing” goes...I don’t know how yet...but I am definitely stopping the wedding!”
Caroline is visibly upset with Belle’s “take no prisoners” attitude. She asks her just how she plans to stop the wedding. Belle talks rudely to Shawn’s grandmother. She says she doesn’t know (in a superior attitude as if she were talking to a five year old...sigh...) Caroline can’t believe that Belle would seriously try to ruin the wedding. Belle insists that she is serious...she isn’t going to let him go commit his life to another woman...is still in love with him...and according to the windmills of Belle’s mind...Shawn is still in love with her. Caroline reminds Belle that she has a husband. Belle throws him out with the dishwater. She says she does truly love Philip but it isn’t the same. Caroline then reminds Belle that she took sacred vows before god...has a baby girl with her husband... and asks how she can turn her back on her family. She also asks how Belle can want to destroy Shawn and Mimi’s happiness. Belle gets even more sarcastic. She is pretty lukewarm when she finally...after all this time...admits reluctantly...that she doesn’t want to hurt Philip, Shawn, Mimi, or Claire....but after all...she loves Shawn too much and she isn’t going to spend the rest of her life without him.
Caroline is amazed that Belle is willing to give up her husband and child. She is sure that Philip will fight for custody. Belle is overly-confident that he won’t and will fall in with whatever Miss Belle wants. She says that he knows that SHE is the best thing for Claire and shrugs as if she’s pulled the wool over everyone’s eyes (sigh I could say something here). Caroline pushes again. Belle argues that Shawn will make a terrific stepfather and that he loves Claire so much. Caroline makes Belle admit that she was angry and hurt when Mimi fell in love with Shawn. She is sure that Philip will be the same. Belle goes for the jugular (I can’t believe how rude she is being in her tone to Caroline) and counters with a sarcastic question that Victor never went after Bo, did he? Caroline tells her quietly that Victor didn’t know the truth until Bo was grown up. Tap...tap goes the final nail in the coffin... Belle smugly states that Caroline knew and asks if she stayed married because of the children or because she truly loved Shawn Sr. more. (I am sorry...but I don’t recognize the character of Belle anymore).
Victor moves to sit in the booth behind Caroline and Belle.
A dignified Caroline tells Belle that divorce was never an option for her...that she loved her husband when she married him and loves him even more today...that the affair with Victor should never happen. Belle lectures her that if it didn’t happen, she wouldn’t have Bo or Shawn Douglas or Zach or even Hope. Caroline just smiles and says that she wouldn’t have known differently then. She tells Belle that she and Shawn don’t share a child so the situation is different. Belle goes all starry-eyed or is it spaced out...sigh... and grins. She tells Caroline that she wishes Claire was Shawn’s child because things would be a whole lot easier. Victor listens in.
Caroline tells Belle that she can spend her whole life wishing Shawn was the father but he isn’t. Belle starts crying. She doesn’t understand how things ended up the way they did. Caroline tells her it’s over and says if she loves him...to let him go...let him find his happiness with Mimi. She gets up and joins Victor at the bar.
Victor asks if Belle is okay. Caroline tells him that she is having a terrible time accepting that Shawn is marrying Mimi and that she told her to give him up. Victor wonders if it’s like what Caroline did to him. He asks her if she had to do it again, would she keep the truth from him about Bo being his son. Would she have stayed married to Shawn Sr.? Caroline tells him yes. She does say that it doesn’t mean she doesn’t have regrets though.
Heather the Leprechaun (just kidding) slinks into the seat across from a morose Belle. She’s very chatty and talks gleefully about it being a big day tomorrow because Shawn is going to marry Belle’s best friend. She taunts Belle about drinking so much and drowning her sorrows. Belle denies it. Heather wants to propose a toast to Belle. Belle thinks she meant to say Mimi. Heather corrects her and toasts Belle as the girl everyone thought would be the happiest in Salem, but instead is an idiot and let Shawn Brady get away. Heather leaves.
Belle lifts her mug to the departing girl and says: “Thanks Heather.” She looks over at Caroline at the bar and says smugly, “Caroline, I’m going to do the right thing. One way or the other...I’m going to stop that wedding!” We get a still shot of Belle with Shawn interposed in the background.
Outside Brady’s Pub: Bo & Shawn
Shawn comes upon his father nursing a beer and sitting outside the pub. He asks what Bo is doing there all by himself. Bo tells him that there is an important celebration going on inside for Shawn’s grandpa...and that he’s celebrating the wedding as well.... He says that he probably shouldn’t have come. Shawn is very understanding of his dad and asks him quietly if he wants to go inside with him. Bo says no...that everyone would just offer their condolences to him about Zach and ask questions about where Shawn’s mom is. He feels bad that Hope won’t be at the wedding but is glad Shawn invited him.
Shawn sits down beside him and tells him softly that he can sit outside and feel sorry for himself but that the only one keeping his mom away is Bo and that the only one who can bring his mom back is Bo. Bo tells him that he has done everything he can think of to convince Hope to come home, but he doesn’t even know how to get in touch with her right now. Shawn is sure that if Bo could just make Hope understand that he won’t be taking Chelsea’s side at the trial... His dad assures him that Hope comes first and always has...that he has loved Shawn’s mom for most of his life...but that they are all family and have to figure out a way to make this all work.
Shawn is sorry but without Zach and his mom...it just doesn’t feel like a family. He doesn’t want Chelsea to be any part of it. Bo understands but thinks that Shawn also appreciates where he is coming from. Shawn thinks that Bo has to choose between two women he loves. He has a hard time understanding, because Bo hardly knows Chelsea and admits that he never realized there could be so many different kinds of love. Bo looks at him and wants to know what he means. Shawn says that he has loved Belle for as long as he can remember and will never stop, but things change. He declares that he feels the same way about Mimi...he does love her...but... Bo picks up on his last word and asks him if he has changed his mind about marrying Mimi because he is still in love with Belle. Shawn just stares at him.
Shawn tells his dad that he hasn’t changed his mind about marrying Mimi...he loves her...she was there for him when he mourned Zach. Bo reminds him that there is a difference between comforting each other and making a lifelong commitment to each other. Shawn agrees but says he is not taking his commitment to Mimi lightly. Bo talks about how everyone thought that Shawn and Belle would end up together. Shawn says that when Belle got married to Philip he had a hard time accepting it, but he has now and just wishes that Belle would too. Bo asks him if Belle is thinking of getting a divorce. Shawn admits that Belle keeps telling him she is in love with him....but she is married to Philip...has a child...and he is marrying Mimi tomorrow. He tells his dad that he would never tell anyone but him—and he can’t believe he is even thinking this—but he is feeling torn between Mimi and Belle.
Bo tells him he understands. Shawn knows he does because of what he went through with Hope and Billie. Bo tells his son that he never loved anyone as much as he loved Hope, but when he thought she was dead he got involved with Billie. He thought Hope’s return was a Dimera trick but as soon as he realized it was really her, there was no question who he wanted to be with. (Flashback to Bope making love). He says that since they were kids he has always wanted to be with Hope and she is the love of his life. Shawn guesses that sometimes you have to let go...sometimes forever. Bo tells him that if he has those sorts of feelings for Belle then he has some serious thinking to do before he marries Mimi.
Shawn tells his dad that he loves Mimi—end of story. What he feels for Belle or what she feels for him doesn’t matter. Bo thinks it does matter and tells him that he can’t go through with the wedding just because he promised. It has to be what Shawn wants...for Mimi’s sake as well as his. Bo knows that Shawn loves Mimi and wants what is best for her, but he wants to know...if Belle wasn’t married, would Mimi still be the woman Shawn would choose to marry and spend the rest of his life with. Shawn looks at him and then turns his back.
Bo tells Shawn that he is taking too long to answer. He says: “All things being equal...who would you marry...Belle or Mimi?” Shawn answers: “I think you already know...but things aren’t equal and I am marrying Mimi...we will have a wonderful life together.” He thinks that Belle will accept that and finally commit to her own wonderful life with Philip and Claire.
Hospital: Carrie’s Room: Carrie, Sami, and later...Lexie
Sami is with Carrie when she wakes up. She’s glad to see that Carrie is okay. Carrie thanks her for what she did. Sami tells her that Lucas and Austin are at the gift shop. Sami sits down and tries to hide how upset she is. Carrie wants to know what is wrong. Sami tells her about the explosion and fire and how Marlena is hurt. They hug each other in comfort.
Sami is crying and apologizes to Carrie for upsetting her. She is worried that she could lose her mom forever. Lexie shows up and tells Sami that Marlena will be okay. Sami begs to go and sit with her mom and Lexie agrees. Lexie wants to talk privately to Carrie and gives her a good prognosis for her surgery recovery. She then tells Carrie that they discovered something else during the surgery. Lexie and Carrie talk about the ovarian cyst that ruptured while Carrie was in Israel. Lexie says they found more scarring and Carrie asks whether it could hamper her ability to have children.
Hospital outside of Marlena’s Room: Lexie, John, Abe, and Alex
Lexie explains that Marlena is taking longer than usual to regain consciousness, but her injuries are not life threatening. Alex wants to see her but John accuses him of causing the explosion that almost killed her in the first place. Lexie stops them both from seeing Marlena...says she needs her rest. After a lot of blustering and finger pointing, the three men go out to the cabin to check on the investigation.
Marlena lies in her bed...still unconscious...and flashes back to some close-up moments with John.
Sami comes in and makes a heartfelt confession to her unconscious mom. She tells her how much she loves her and needs her. She tells her that she doesn’t have one single human being on the planet that she can talk to. Sami also tells her mom that it seems that she doesn’t want to be around her lately and that except for Belle...it doesn’t seem as if Marlena remembers any of them. She talks about still loving Lucas but thinks she could be happy with Austin...except for the fact that the two guys are still hung up on Carrie. All Sami wants is to be happy...have a family...and settle down. She realizes that whenever something goes wrong it is her fault and that each time she is given a choice, she makes the wrong one. Sami begs her mom to come back to her and help her make the right decisions. She tells her that she loves her again and begs her to remember her and the family and not Alex.
Marlena has more mini flashbacks of being with John. We get a quick scene where he admires the watch she gave him and she admires the charm bracelet he gave her. We get a final scene of her and John saying vows.
Back in Carrie’s Room: Carrie, Lexie, with Sami eavesdropping outside
Lexie plays Dear Abby and tells Carrie to just pick a guy (Lucas or Austin) and have a family...don’t worry about Sami’s feelings because Sami wouldn’t worry about hers... Sami listens in on their conversation. Lexie continues to insult Sami to Carrie and push Carrie into getting married and starting a family.
Cabin: John, Abe, Alex, firemen, and investigators
The cabin has burnt to the ground. John and Alex throw verbal slings at each other. A fireman tells Abe that they think they have found the cause of the fire. John glares at Alex. The cause is apparently a faulty water heater...no evidence of a crime being committed. John vows to find a way to prove Alex killed Lois and burned the place down.
Alex thinks John will wind up in jail if he keeps threatening him in front of the law. He flaunts his relationship with Marlena and leaves. John takes it out on a piece of wood...makes another threat to kill Alex before he will let Marlena be with him.
Previews:
Alex is watching a sleeping Marlena while she mumbles that she remembers John...she remembers “us.”
A quick take of Mimi smiling.
John holds Belle in his arms. She blames herself and doesn’t know how she can stand by and watch “him” marry Mimi.
Carrie with Lucas and Austin. She tells them she wants to talk with them. They tell her the same.

Janice’s Spoilers
Note:
Some really lovely flashbacks for John/Marlena fans today. It was nice to see the emotional connection between those two.
Spoilers:
Belle is somewhere outside and murmurs: “Sorry Mimi but I still love Shawn and you can’t marry him.”
Hospital: Carrie, Sami, Lexie, Abe, John, Tek, Alex, and later Belle
Outside Carrie’s room, Lucas flashes back to his bedside monologue to a sleeping Carrie. He is sure that no one will keep them apart this time. He didn’t think he was worthy before but now he does. He thinks she was just hallucinating when she called out Austin’s name and smiles at the teddy bear in his hand.
Austin arrives at the nurse’s station with a beautiful arrangement of pink roses for Carrie. He asks how she is and if she can have visitors. The nurse tells him that Lexie is in with Carrie at the moment. Lucas comes up and they spar over Carrie. He bad mouths Sami again and verbally attacks Austin’s commitment to Carrie. Austin wants to have a serious talk.
Sami listens in on Carrie and Lexie’s conversation again. Lexie tells Carrie her blood pressure is fine, etc... They talk about the scar tissue, Carrie’s biological clock, seeing an OB-GYN, choosing Austin or Lucas.
Outside Marlena’s room, John is wearing out the floor with his pacing. Abe tries to calm him down. He reminds John to play it smart and use his training. John vows not to wait for North to make his next move.
Marlena flashes back to John giving her a beautiful 1850 clock and telling her that each time it chimes, she should remember that he loves her. Alex walks in and hovers over her bed. Marlena murmurs that she remembers the clock, she remembers John, and she remembers them together.
Lucas rants at Austin for not staying by Carrie’s side. He’s sure that Carrie won’t choose Austin this time.
Sami continues to listen in. Carrie tells Lexie she is torn between both men and doesn’t want to rush her decision. Lexie thinks Carrie is leaning towards Austin.
Belle comes up to John and asks how her mom is. John takes her down for some coffee.
Alex hears Marlena murmuring John’s name. He corrects her and asks how she is. Marlena keeps seeing John’s face. She’s barely lucid and says, thinking he is John, that she is glad he came. Alex tells her to get some rest.
Abe trails Alex. Alex slips into Lexie’s office without Abe seeing him. He isn’t going to give Marlena up after all the work he has done.
John and Belle go outside. He asks her if she shouldn’t be getting ready for the wedding. She tells him what he already knows...that she thought she would be the one to marry Shawn...that she still loves him...can’t stand by and watch him marry Mimi...has only herself to blame.
Marlena is still remembering. We get some wonderful flashbacks of the pivotal moments in John and Marlena’s life together. Lexie walks in and Marlena tells her she remembers everything.
Alex steals Lexie’s keys and leaves the office. Abe demands to know why he was there. Alex tap dances and points the finger at John. Abe threatens. Alex leaves. Abe leaves.
Sami is surprised to find Lexie’s office unlocked and steps inside.
Lexie asks Marlena a few questions. She decides to give Marlena a light sedative to calm her down and leaves to let her rest. Alex comes in and hovers again.
John tries to talk some sense into his daughter. He reminds her that she is married to Philip and that Claire has gone through so much. She tells him she loves Phil but something is missing...she’s still pulled towards Shawn and can’t let go. She cuts him off when he tries to reason with her and says that she doesn’t think Claire should grow up seeing her mom unhappy (huh???). He warns her that he will tell her what to do but she won’t like it.
Lucas and Austin round two. Carrie mooning over two pictures...so many choices.
Lexie and Tek round sixty. He’s mean and determined this time. She doesn’t want them kissing in a public place...he thinks the truth should come out and stomps off. Sami looks out from Lexie’s office and sees them. Lexie is shocked to see that the door she thought she had locked is actually open. She’s doubly-shocked to see Sami in there.
John tells Belle that he can’t tell her what she wants to hear...she is married to Philip and Shawn has moved on with his life...she has to let him go...can’t spend her life chasing after him. Belle goes ballistic on her dad. She compares her situation to his with Marlena and calls him a hypocrite (Geez I wish he would give her a time out and send her to the corner!) He tries to explain the difference and tells her that Shawn has consciously chosen to make a life with Mimi just like Belle chose to be with Philip and have a baby. Belle yells at him that she didn’t choose THAT! John is shocked and asks her if she regrets having Claire.
Belle gets sarcastic now and says of course not...but she loves Shawn too. He asks her what will happen if she leaves Philip...there is no guarantee that Shawn will leave Mimi to be with her...has she thought about that? He goes in for the kill and asks what happens if Philip doesn’t take her back and she is all alone? Belle is very uncomfortable now. She refuses to answer...cuts her dad off again...and says she has to go. She looks annoyed when he tells her that maybe after she sees Shawn and Mimi take their vows and this becomes official, that it will all become real to her and make it easier for her to let Shawn go. He leaves. Belle gets a call. (See below at loft)
Sami wants information so she plays the Tek/Lexie/Abe blackmail card with Lexie.
Carrie shuffles out into the hallway in her robe. She has a question for the guys. They have a question for her.
John catches up with Abe who tells him about seeing Alex come out of Lexie’s office. Both agree that the guy is bad news.
Back in Marlena’s room, As Alex watches, Marlena mumbles that she remembers everything...the penthouse...losing Roman’s baby...loving John...etc... Alex is not a happy camper.
Shawn & Mimi’s Loft: Mimi, Kate, Bonnie, Belle, hairstylist & manicurist
Mimi is verbally reminding herself of all the things she has to do...call the florist, etc... She flashes back to Belle asleep and confessing that she is going to stop the wedding. Mimi daydream causes the coffee she is pouring into a cup to overflow. Bonnie arrives and asks how she is. Mimi says she is a basket case. Her mom asks if she talked to Belle. Mimi rolls her eyes exasperatingly. She wonders just how she was supposed to tell Belle that she heard her talking in her sleep and then ask her to please not ruin the wedding. She tells Bonnie that if Belle stands up during the wedding ceremony and tells everyone that she still loves Shawn...well Philip will lose Belle and Mimi will lose Shawn. Kate comes in and tells them that they are going to find a way to neutralize Belle once and for all.
Bonnie goes on and on about the rodeo cowboy she used to date. Mimi is beyond embarrassed and tries to get her mom back on track. Bonnie has a ROTFLMAO fantasy with herself, Mimi, and Belle taking starring roles. (Sorry but you will have to watch JJ’s clip. There is no way I can do justice here) Back in the present, Mimi insists that she is not going to let them kidnap Belle...who is the matron of honor...whose absence at the ceremony would look pretty suspicious. Kate says they have to do something drastic and says there is a way to keep Belle quiet...they are going to appeal to her daughter-in-law’s incredibly guilty conscience. She convinces a reluctant Mimi to call Belle to come over.
Mimi calls Belle and, rolling her eyes, tells her she really needs her matron of honor to help her get ready for the wedding. She apologizes to Belle when she hears that her mom is sick. Belle apologizes for not being there. Mimi starts with the guilt stuff...means a lot to her that Belle will be there for the most important day of her life. Belle agrees to come. Mimi hangs up and has a meltdown. She thinks she is the one who should feel really guilty because she is the one who is keeping a horrible secret. Bonnie reminds her that matrons of honor don’t do what Belle is doing. Kate says she has to do it or can kiss her future goodbye.
Mimi isn’t happy. She sits like a Gloomy Gus while the manicurist and the hairstylist work their magic. Kate and Bonnie hover. Belle arrives and Mimi asks for some private time with her. Bonnie is all excited about the wedding and snaps a picture of Belle on the way out. Mimi gives her matron of honor and best friend a special gift...a photo album with pics of Claire with her parents and one with Mimi and Shawn. Mimi lays it on thick about how happy she is and how Belle is responsible for that. Belle looks very uncomfortable.
Kate and Bonnie are listening in the hallway and are overjoyed. Kate won’t be happy until the wedding is a done deal and Shawn and Mimi are husband and wife.
Previews:
Lexie tells Sami that she’s a monster. Sami tells her that she will do whatever it takes to make sure Austin winds up with her.

Pat’s Spoilers
Hospital: Lexie plays the innocent. Sami tells her she saw her and Tek in the park and outside her office. Sami asks Lexie if she forgot her loving, faithful husband, the father of her child and has picked her latest young stud over Abe. Lexie tells Sami that she and Tek are just friends – she is making too much out of it. Lexie tries to bluff her way out of it telling Sami to go tell Abe – he won’t believe her. (There’s a lot of accusation, denial and threats going back and forth). Sami says Abe is a cop – what if he starts investigating you and your good friend Tek. You could lose Theo in divorce court. Lexie asks her what she wants. Sami laments that for once she wishes two guys would be chasing after her instead of Carrie. She wants Lexie to make sure that Carrie chooses Lucas. She loves him but he has made it clear that he wants nothing to do with her so she’ll take the next best thing – Austin. Lexie says she can’t control who Carrie chooses – she wouldn’t know how. Sami says I know exactly how. I guess Sami tells her off camera because the next time we see them Lexie is calling Sami a monster. Sami retorts that she is just a woman making sure she gets the man she wants – Austin.
Carrie tells Austin and Lucas that she has made her decision – it wasn’t easy – they are both special to her. Lucas tells her to stop – she can’t do this. Lucas says they should each be given an opportunity to plead their case. I’m sorry but this is just too ridiculous to talk about – what the heck is there about Carrie that you have two grown men, supposedly adults that are chasing after her as if she’s God’s answer to womanhood. They flip – Austin goes first – Lucas interrupts when he thinks Austin has been there long enough. The difference – Austin talks about his feelings for Carrie and what she means to him. Lucas spends half his time running down Austin. At the end they’re both sitting on either side of her – she’s worried about Sami but her decision won’t have anything to do with Sami.
Morgan Island: Patrick serves Hope some freshly caught fish. He’s talking – she’s lost in thought. He says you are thinking of Shawn and Bo – why don’t you call them. Hope ignores the question and asks about the fish. When he pushes she says how can I forgive Bo for signing that temporary licence when he knew Chelsea was a reckless driver. Then he gave her the keys to the SUV knowing she had totalled her car. Then she killed Zack and he let me believe that Billie did it – she is furious that she defended Chelsea. Patrick reminds her that she defended Shawn when he drove his bike through the church window. Hope says he didn’t kill anyone. Patrick says he could of. Hope thinks that if Patrick hadn’t investigated on his own she still wouldn’t know the truth. Patrick tells her that if she doesn’t want end her marriage with Bo she needs to call him. She won’t take the phone. Patrick talks to her some more and finally Hope calls home. Chelsea answers. Hope asks “who is this?” She answers Chelsea Brady. Hope wants to know what she is doing in her house. Chelsea says it’s my Dad’s house. Hope asks where Bo is. Chelsea lies and says he’s out with my Mom – they’re spending all their time together making sure they are doing everything they can to help with my defence. Hope hangs up on her. Hope tells Patrick what Chelsea said. Patrick says are you sure she’s telling the truth. Hope says if she is how can her and Bo have a future?
Brady House: Bo is running around getting ready. Billie comes over and says she wants to go over Chelsea’s defence. He says no time – Shawn’s wedding. She smells something burning. It’s the oatmeal pot. Bo says Hope saw it in a magazine and he bought it for their last anniversary – Zack loved his oatmeal. Billie asks if Hope is home – he says no. Billie says she is missing Shawn’s wedding. Bo explains that Shawn knew how important it was for her to get away for awhile so he didn’t tell her he had moved up the date. He wishes he could get in touch with her. Billie thinks he can. (Bo had opened the front door to get the smell out – the pot is ruined). Bo says she has her phone turned off. Billie says you’ve never needed phones before – you’ve always been able to know when you needed each other. Bo says that only happens when they are in danger. She says his marriage is in danger – that counts. Chelsea is standing outside the open door fuming that her Billie wants to send her to prison. Bo says Fancy Face; our son is getting married today. He tells her he loves, he misses her and that he is sorry. Chelsea waltzes in and hugs her Dad. She’s there to talk about her defence. Bo says not today. Billie tells him to get going – they’ll clean up. He leaves. Billie says I know what you’re doing and you’re making a mistake. Chelsea says not as big a mistake as you’re making. She is angry at Billie for telling Bo to connect with Hope. Billie says he already said he’ll stand by you in court. Chelsea thinks that won’t last long if Hope comes back. Billie is furious at Chelsea for lying to Hope. Chelsea sneers and knocks over a picture of Bo and Hope and tells Billie you won’t fight so I’ll do it for you – I’ll get what I want and you’ll get the man you love.
St. Luke’s: Shawn and Philip walk towards the church (both wearing their shades). Shawn is talking a mile a minute reminding Philip that he has to give a speech at the reception – give a toast. Philip tells him not to worry. Their inside the vestibule now and Shawn wonders if they should check if Mimi is here. Philip tells him to calm down and removes Shawn’s sunglasses (LOL!). Philip says relax – I know what you’re going through. When she walks down that aisle it’s going to be one of the best moments of your life. Shawn nods. He remembers what Belle said on the rooftop – telling him he can’t marry Mimi. He tells Philip there is something he has to tell him. Bonnie is re-decorating the church complaining that for as much money as Calliope charged you would think she would know how to decorate. Kate says it was exquisite until Bonnie started ‘improving’ things. Bonnie says she’ll probably have to improve things at Chez Rouge as well. (There are no words to describe Bonnie’s outfit – you’re going to have to watch the clips – LOL!). Kate comments that Bonnie’s outfit obviously didn’t come from the Basic Black collection. Bonnie says she looked at everything – one boring thing after the other – she suggests that Kate find some designers that know a little bit about fashion. Kate takes that under advisement. Bonnie says this dress better make its way into the wedding photos and Belle better be cut out of them. Bonnie is worried that Mimi won’t make it to the altar because her matron of dishonour wants her man. Kate tells her that they have her daughter in law under control. Bonnie says that Belle is determined to dump Philip and go after Shawn – a little guilt trip isn’t going to stop her. Kate says she could be right. Bonnie wants to know what they can do to stop Belle from ruining Mimi’s day and Philip’s life. Mimi is helping Belle with her dress. She can’t believe she’s finally marrying Shawn. She asks Belle if she was this nervous on her wedding day. Belle says you kept telling me not to go through with it if I wasn’t 100% sure – maybe I should have paid more attention. Mimi says she is 100% sure – she was her maid of honour – she was trying to be a good friend to her just like I know you are to me. Mimi says look at you now – you’re married to a guy who loves you, you have a beautiful daughter and you’ll have more children. She goes on to say that Belle always thought she would have a future with Shawn and reminds Belle of how angry they were with each other – how much they hurt each other. Her and Philip never fight – never hurt each others feelings – they were made for each other. Belle tells Mimi to stop it – I can’t let you do this.
He asks Philip if Belle has said anything about the wedding. Philip says she’s thrilled for the both of you – you have to know that. Shawn looks anything but sure about that … LOL! Philip goes on – she’s thrilled for you guys and she even loves her matron of honour dress and that’s saying a lot. We’re both happy for you and once you have these rings on your finger – Philip starts fishing around in his inside pocket. Shawn says what? Philip says I left the rings in the car – I’ll go get them. Shawn says maybe I should be calming you down. Philip says don’t move – I’ll be right back. He runs out – Shawn says Belle didn’t tell him that she still loves me (it’s almost as if he is saying – I knew she wouldn’t – he’s relieved that she isn’t going to do anything to ruin his happiness). Belle tells Mimi she’s sorry but she has to be honest with her. Bonnie and Kate burst in. Mimi tries to say something – Bonnie says you were having a girl talk but there’s something I’d like to say to my daughter before she gets married. She asks Belle to excuse them. Mimi wants to know what is going on. Bonnie says Belle is a time bomb waiting to destroy your wedding. Kate says Bonnie is right. Bonnie stills thinks they should tie her gag her and throw her in the crypt. Kate thinks that is a little extreme but it might not be a bad idea to get her off the premises. Mimi says she’s my matron of honour, my best friend. Bonnie says best friends don’t try to steal their best friend’s husband especially on their wedding day. Mimi says – but look what I’m doing to her. Bonnie throws her hands up in the air and says here we go again. Kate tells Mimi that they can’t let Belle stop her wedding. Caroline runs into Belle and tells her she looks beautiful. She asks if Mimi is ready for the dress. Belle snaps that she may be but I’m not. Caroline tells Belle to take a deep breath and pray to God for strength – she knows what she has to do. Belle says I have to stop that wedding whether you like it or not. (She’s just horrid in the way she talks to Caroline!) Caroline is a bit angry – she says you made your choice, you married Philip and you have a child with him. Shawn is marrying Mimi and you got to accept that. (Belle shakes her head). Caroline continues – you can’t go back. And even if you tried I’m afraid that you might not be as happy as you think you will be. Belle scoffs. She now knows what Shawn felt like when he drove his motorcycle through the window to stop her from marrying Philip. She won’t do something so drastic but when Father Jansen asks if anyone objects to Shawn and Mimi getting married (she starts shaking her finger at Caroline) I’ll be one the standing up and saying that I want to tell the truth – that I love Shawn and I have to be with him. Caroline asks her the million dollar question – What if Shawn chooses Mimi anyway – Belle stares. He’s not marrying her because you’re unavailable. He loves her and she loves him! (Woo Hoo – Way to tell her Caroline – it’s about time!) Belle – no, no – he and I belong together. Caroline tells her to at least tell her husband first – she owes him that much. He shouldn’t hear it first in front of an entire congregation. Belle huffs – I guess. Caroline asks her to please think of her vows – think of her little girl – Caroline has had it with Belle and walks away. Kate arrives – Belle looks at her and leaves. Kate vows to stop her before she ruins Philip’s life.
Bonnie is grateful that Caroline got there with the dress or she wouldn’t have time to sew on the bugle beads and the ostrich feathers. It’s a great heirloom but it needs a little dressing up. Mimi says no thanks – I’ve had all the alterations done to it that I want – it’s perfect now. Bonnie says perfectly dull. Mimi stresses that she is wearing it exactly the way it is. Bonnie doesn’t think its right that she should draw all the attention when she walks her down the aisle. Bonnie doesn’t think its right that she walks her down the aisle at all but she doesn’t want her dead beat Dad to do it, Patrick is gone and Connor is too young. Mimi says she is thrilled that she is walking her down the aisle assuming she makes it down the aisle. Bonnie tells her that luck is going to be on her side today – Bonnie has some things for her – something old – a garter – legend has it her great grandmother wore it when she danced at Diamond Lil’s. A brand new hankie with Elvis portrait on it that she can borrow and a blue mint for when they kiss at that altar. Mimi turns away and says this is all wrong. Bonnie tells her okay – she can keep the hankie. She says no, her guilting Belle speech made her feel even guiltier. How can she be happy today knowing what a liar she is? Knowing that my husband to be is maybe more in love with someone else than me. If I marry Shawn today I’ll always be looking over my shoulder. I’ll always be worried that he’s regretting that he couldn’t be with Belle. I have to tell him the truth. I have to know that he’s marrying me for the right reasons. There are no more excuses – I am going to tell him the truth. Bonnie stops her and says seeing the groom before the wedding is mega bad luck. Mimi doesn’t care – she’s not going to start her marriage with a lie. Shawn is sitting in the front pew. Philip comes in and says I have the rings right here – he has one on his pinkie and the other on another finger. Shawn jumps up and says great – LOL – the typical nervous groom. Philip tells him to relax. All he has to do is stand up there and Mimi will come to him. You put the ring on her finger, you say I do and then you kiss her and you’re married which he’s told him many times is pretty amazing. Shawn takes a deep breath and smiles and says he has to keep reminding himself of that. Father Jansen wants to talk to Shawn about the vows. Belle tells Philip that they have to talk.
Bonnie tries to talk Mimi out of it by saying some of the most successful marriages start out with a lie. Mimi never dreamed that her wedding would be like this. Bonnie says that’s because ever since you were a little girl no matter what our family was going through you believed in fairy tales and happy endings. Bonnie says today you get your fairy tale – you’re marrying Prince Charming. Mimi asks if he would want to marry her if he knew he was Claire’s father. Bonnie says here’s a fact of life – lies are the price a woman has to pay to make her marriage work. Mimi hopes the price isn’t too high. Philip asks Belle – what is. Belle says you know I love you – Philip says and I love you. Whatever it is we can talk about. Kate overhears and says no you can’t. She tells Belle she has been looking for her. Philip says we’re in the middle of something can’t this wait. Kate says no. Philip says that they’ll talk later. He tells Belle she looks amazing – it’s not fair to Mimi – Belle smiles – she likes that. Shawn returns and tells Philip that Father Jansen wanted to know if they wanted to leave the word obey in the vows. Philip says what did you decide? Shawn grins and says I said hell yeah! Actually both Mimi and he thought it was a little old fashioned so they left it out. Philip teases him saying he hopes it doesn’t come back to haunt him. Bo arrives and sees Shawn and Phil smiling and laughing. He says this is a good sign – the groom is obviously very relaxed before his wedding. Shawn says Hi Dad, glad you could make it. Bo says me too. He wishes his mom was here. Shawn says me too. He knows that she would have been here if he asked her but he knows it’s too soon after Zack. Bo agrees. They hug. Bo says I’m happy for you son. I wish you and Mimi a life that’s wonderful and as full of love as … he pauses … as you are right now. One thing I do know is that when you find love you got to grab it and hold on to it. No matter what.
Caroline asks Bo if there has been any word for Hope. Bo says no. She should be here. Caroline agrees – it’s their sons wedding – the kind of thing that could bring the two of them back together. Bo knows. Caroline tells him that Hope will be back. Bo says that’s what he keeps praying. Caroline says that when does return Chelsea will still be an issue. Things won’t be right between them until they work that out. Bonnie says I didn’t work this hard to get you to keep your mouth shut to have Belle ruin it by opening hers. Mimi says maybe I just have to leave it in God’s hands. If He wants it to happen, it will. If he doesn’t … Bonnie still thinks rope and duct tape is an option if Kate’s powers of persuasion don’t work out. Mimi says it’s time for her to get dressed.
Caroline asks Belle if she’s talked to Philip yet. Belle hasn’t had a chance. Caroline wants to know if she has decided what she’s going to do when Father Jansen asks the big question. Belle is not sure. The processional music starts. Caroline goes in first – Shawn smiles. Belle walks down the aisle – Shawn and Philip smile. Bonnie asks Kate if she convinced Belle to keep her trap shut. Kate honestly doesn’t know. Kate did her best – they have to hope it’s enough. Bonnie says Belle is in love with Shawn. If you were in her shoes would you keep your mouth shut because I sure as hell wouldn’t? Bonnie is worried that before Shawn and Mimi say I do the little bitch is going to hi-jack their wedding. Kate tells her to relax before everyone in church knows something is wrong. The smoother things go the less likely Belle will disrupt the service. Bonnie hopes she is right. Kate goes inside. Mimi arrives. Bonnie tells Mimi she is breathtaking (and Mimi is!). She can’t believe her little girl is getting married. Mimi says it’s really going to happen, isn’t it? I couldn’t stand it if … Bonnie says of course it’s going to happen. Bonnie is in tears – she asks Mimi if she is ready. She tells her she loves her so much. She brings down her veil and says now let’s go show those Brady’s how lucky Shawn is to be marrying into our Lockhart family. They stand at the back of the church – Shawn sees Mimi and he just literally beams. Belle pouts. Shawn gives her sideways glance – he looks like he’s really worried that she is going to do something stupid – he turns his attention back to Mimi – they lock eyes as she comes down the aisle. Belle stares at Shawn and then takes a step forward.
Preview: Philip – My wife asked if she could join me up here because she has a few special words of her own … Belle.” Lexie to Sami – What if the man you decide you want doesn’t want you Sami? What will you do then? Frankie (outside a door) – Jen, can I come in? Jen – No. I don’t want to see you. Marlena to Alex – I remember you. I don’t love you. Alex – What a pity my dear for you.

Pat’s Spoilers
Jen’s: Jen tells Frankie she’s ready to go – he tells her that she looks amazing. Before they go Jen wants to talk about what happened the other night at Chez Rouge. Frankie says he moved to fast. She says it was fine but she really does want to take things slow. He agrees. He decides he better not give her the box he is holding in his hand. She takes it – it’s a wrist corsage like he gave her in high school. Jen doesn’t think anyone wears these anymore but she puts it on. They decide they better get going to the wedding. Jen runs up to her bedroom to get her purse. She can’t find it – opens the closet door and says oh no. Frankie comes upstairs and knocks on the door and asks Jen if he can come in. She says no she doesn’t want to see it … she’s clutching a box and crying.
Hospital: Lexie tells Sami that she can’t play God with Carrie’s life. Sami says just play doctor – Carrie trusts your opinion both professionally and personally. Lexie says you’ve decided which man she should pick. Sami says neither. She doesn’t deserve either guy. Lexie asks her why she is doing this. Sami says she wants what Lexie has – a husband who loves her – a family. Lexie tells her that if she didn’t hate her so much she’d actually feel some sympathy for her. Sami tells her the feeling is mutual. Lexie brings up Lucas and how it’s obvious that Sami still loves him and he loves her – instead of playing games – why not just go after the man she really loves – she would win. Sami gives the ‘Lucas will never forgive me’ spiel again and proclaims that she is going to be with Austin. He is willing to forgive besides she’s always loved him.
Carrie holds court with both Austin and Lucas hanging on her every word. Every time she seems like she is going to tell them her decision Lucas keeps butting in and asking stupid stalling questions or making sweeping statements promoting himself – I think he knows who she is going to choose. She tells them about this dream she had – she woke up on a Sunday morning to the smell of fresh coffee. Then her husband came in and she knew she was home – in her dream its Austin but she doesn’t tell them that. By the end of the episode they’re still both waiting for her to tell them who she picked.
John and Abe talk – can you guess what they talk about? They’re happy Marlena is going to be alright but John is worried that she is going to go home with Alex. They are exchanging vows tomorrow and he’s running out of time. He can’t prove it but he knows that Alex is responsible for the explosion at Lois’s cabin. Abe thinks John is right in his thinking that Alex won’t make a move against Marlena until they are on their honeymoon. They need to convince Marlena that Alex is not the guy she thinks he is – she needs to get her memory back. John tells Abe that he actually hopes she doesn’t get her memory back while she’s alone with Alex because she will be terrified. They go their separate ways.
Marlena keeps talking in her drug induced sleep being sure to clue in Alex on everything she is thinking and remembering. Flashbacks abound … Alex lurks and smirks. Marlena declares that John is the man she loves and Alex is evil. She wakes up in panic – she has to see John. She rings the buzzer and tells the nurse she needs to see John Black right now. The nurse enters the waiting room right after John leaves it. She tells the nurse at the desk to give John a message from Dr. Evans – she’s going off shift. She rights out a message but as she is picking up folders she knocks it on the phone. Alex hovers over Marlena’s bed. She tells Alex that she doesn’t love him – she loves John. Alex says what a pity for you my dear.
St Luke’s: Mimi begins her walk down the aisle – we only see Shawn’s face in profile but you can tell he’s smiling the entire time. The church is full. Mickey and Maggie are there – Maggie whispers ‘you’re beautiful’ to Mimi as she passes. Victor is there. Grandpa Shawn is there. (I don’t think Alice is there until her scene). Bonnie is beaming – Mimi and Shawn are smiling – a big smile from Shawn when they reach the altar. Bonnie turns back her veil and tells Mimi – you did it baby. I love you. Mimi steps up and stands across from Shawn and passes her bouquet to Belle. Father Jansen starts the ceremony – Shawn and Mimi join hands – Father Jansen continues. Belle frets … Bonnie tells Kate that she hoped she neutralized Belle – she doesn’t want her ruining Mimi’s wedding. Kate says she did her best – if Belle has any conscience at all she will not try and stop the wedding. There are several flashbacks to the Kate Belle talk (and oh my – Belle is actually holding her daughter). The gist of the flashbacks is about how Kate failed Billie – Billie never had a mother growing up now she doesn’t know how to be a good mother to Chelsea. She’s so happy that Claire will never know the pain of coming from a broken home – she has a mother who loves her and a mother and father that love each other. Kate lays it on thick about what a good person Belle is (I’m surprised Kate didn’t gag – I know I did). So every time there’s a flashback it will be referencing back to this stuff – I’ll just put insert flashback throughout the rest of the report. During all these flashback’s the ceremony progresses. Belle thinks to herself ‘sorry Kate, I know what you were trying to tell me but I have no choice. I have to stop this wedding … yawn (oh sorry, that’s me yawning – not Belle). Belle stares, Shawn and Mimi smile and only have eyes for each other.
The ceremony continues – Father Jansen talks about the bond between Shawn and Mimi that started as friendship and blossomed into something much deeper – much more profound. Now they’re here to celebrate their love and join together in holy matrimony. <Insert flashback>. Father Jansen says the groom wants to say a few words. Shawn wants to thank them all for coming – it means so much to the both of them that they are here to share their special day with them. For those that couldn’t be here they are also in our thoughts and in our hearts. But most of all he just wanted to tell his bride that he is the luckiest guy in the world today. Not only am I marrying my love but also my best friend. A lot of people say that but for us it’s really true. We have a bond that’s forged not only love but also in trust. (Mimi’s smile falters just a touch). Father Jansen calls on Maggie but Mimi stops him. There is something she has to say and it’s very important – Bonnie and Kate practically hyperventilate.
Mimi says just as Shawn said I want to thank you for coming and being here with us on the most important day of our lives but there is someone specifically I want to thank and that’s my other best friend Belle. She’s always been there for me and I know she always will. Her love and support mean everything to me. They hug. Kate and Bonnie heave a huge sigh of relief. Kate says nice touch. Bonnie says that’s my girl. She may be a little soft but she’s learning. There’s no woman that is going to take away her man. The ceremony continues. Father Jansen calls on Maggie Horton to read a special passage for the bride and groom. It’s a reading from the book of Genesis (Maggie looks beautiful!). <Insert flashback>. After Maggie is done Philip says the bride and groom asked him to do the second reading but his wife asked him if she could join him because she has a few special words of her own. Belle joins Philip and Mimi goes to stand next to Shawn.
Philip gives Belle a kiss to the brow. Kate tells Bonnie that Philip loves Belle so much – he’s going to make her a lot happier than she deserves to be. <Insert flashback>. Philip finishes his reading. He says Belle has something she wants to add. She turns to Shawn and Mimi who are both looking a touch apprehensive and says yes I do. Even Bo looks uncomfortable ... LOL! Philip hands Belle a folded piece of paper and he ends up holding both bouquets. The passage is called What Is Love by Author Unknown. Love is the creator of our favourite memories. It is a promise that is always kept, (Shawn kisses Mimi’s hand – ahhh) a fortune that can never be spent, a seed that can flourish in even the most unlikely of places. And this radiance that never fades (camera cuts to a smiling Bo), this mysterious and magical joy, that’s the greatest treasure of all. Known only by those who love. Shawn smiles. Bo says to Caroline (who just heaved a sigh of relief) as difficult as it was for Shawn and Belle to move on with their lives I think the right people ended up together. He turns to Alice and says what do you say Mrs. H? She says it doesn’t matter much what I think. Bo says of course it does. Having this celebration without Hope and Zack here is just wrong but Shawn can always count on you two (he looks at both Alice and Caroline). Alice says he can count on you too. It means so much to him that you’re here. Bo says I’m the reason his mom is not here. Alice tells him that if there is one thing she knows it’s that you and Hope are meant to be together. She’ll come home to you Bo – everything will be alright. Bo replies ‘from your lips to God’s ears.’ He wishes he knew where she was – that she was okay. Mickey kisses Maggie’s hand and tells her he loves her – he calls her ‘Red’. She says she loves him to. Grandpa Shawn takes Caroline’s hand in his. Kate tells Bonnie they are almost home free – Belle didn’t say anything when she had the chance. Bonnie says it’s not over until Shawn and Mimi say I Do. Everyone takes their place at the altar. Father Jansen says he’s reached the point in the ceremony where he has to ask that age old question – of course, it’s merely a formality. If any person or person her present know of any reason why these two should not be joined in holy matrimony may they speak now or forever hold their peace. Bonnie and Kate are about ready to jump out of their skin. Dramatic pause – cut to commercial. When we come back at the end of the show Bonnie’s fingers are crossed – Father Jansen says alright then – moving along. Do you Shawn Douglas take this woman Miriam to … Belle cuts in and says wait – this wedding has to stop.
Preview: Frankie to Jen – Do you have room in your heart for me? Sami to Austin and Lucas (Carrie’s there as well) – I can’t believe that you both let her jerk you along like this but since it’s a contest I know who I’m rooting for. Alex to Marlena – Now that you have your memory back I’m afraid you are going to have to die. Shawn – I know why Belle stopped the ceremony. (Kate practically jumps out of her seat).

Pat’s Spoilers
Jen’s: Frankie wants to know what is wrong – everything was fine just a few minutes ago. Jen tells him he shouldn’t have anything to do with her. Frankie enters her bedroom and asks her why she is crying. He’s not going anywhere until she tells him. She tells him that when she opened the closet to look for her purse she saw the box with her wedding dress from her second wedding. She talks about how Abby helped her with the vows – how the wedding made Jack feel like he really was a part of them again. It was a very special day now for Jack and Abby but now Abby doesn’t have her father and Jack Jr will never know his father. Jack is dead and instead of mourning him she is enjoying herself. Frankie tells her that she has the right to move on – she owes it to herself and her children to be happy. Jen says that Shawn and Mimi’s wedding today brought back a lot of memories. Jen says that Frankie who has never been married wouldn’t understand this special closeness between married people. She gives him some examples – she knew the punch line to all his jokes, they would watch their children sleep and know how blessed they are – they would have memories – now all she has is the memories. She’ll be fine just being a mother to Abby and Jack Jr. Frankie tells her that Jack wanted her to move on and to be happy not just as a mother but as a woman. Jen thinks that enjoying herself with Frankie is betraying Jack. Frankie thinks he should go back to D.C. Jennifer doesn’t want him to go – she’s all flustered and goes on about how she wishes she had Hope to talk to. She says she doesn’t know what she wants – she’s starting to have feelings. Frankie says his feelings haven’t changed. He means that he loved her when he was 17 and knew that she was the girl he wanted to spend his life with. Now she’s the woman he wants to spend his life with. He was lucky to have her friendship and Jack’s but he asks her if she has room in her heart for him. She admits she is not ready but there is a possibility. He tells her she can take as much time as she needs. They put the box away – he tells her that it’s going to be okay.
Hospital: Lexie knows that Sami wants her to make sure that Carrie doesn’t pick Austin – she’s upset that Sami is blackmailing her. Sami points out that Lexie is the one cheating on Abe so she can lose the holier than thou attitude. She does it or she loses Abe.
Carrie and Austin and Lucas are still repeating the same dialogue. She’s just about to talk to them when Lexie shows up and says she needs to speak to Carrie to go over her discharge orders. She tells Carrie to come to her office. Sami asks the two men who won in the Carrie lottery. Lucas accuses her of eavesdropping – Austin asks her how she knew about a private conversation. Sami tells them that Lexie told her that Carrie told her that she had an important decision to make so all she did was put two and two together. She accuses Carrie of stringing them both along. The men deny it. She makes fun of them – saying this is like a reality show – one of them will get their heart broken the other will get a rose. She knows who she is cheering for. They want to know which one of them she thinks Carrie will pick. She says Austin. Lucas doesn’t believe her – she’s just saying that because she isn’t over him and she’s doing it to be spiteful. She admits to the spite but she tells Lucas that as much as he doesn’t want to admit it Carrie and Austin belong together. Austin thanks her for her support. Lucas wonders what she is up to because he knows she wants Austin for herself. There’s a lot more to their conversation – I just kind of skimmed over it.
Lexie gives Carrie her discharge orders and then starts talking about her decision. Carrie finally says it’s Austin. Lexie puts on the concerned act and tells Carrie there’s a problem. She lies to Carrie about how her and Austin have genetic markers in common that would cause any child they conceive to be born with serious genetic defects. Austin is the last man she should consider having a child with – Carrie cries – Lexie lies.
Roman charges up to John and wants to know why he didn’t let him know about Marlena’s accident. John says it’s because it wasn’t an accident – Alex North set the cabin to explode to kill both him (John) and Marlena and to destroy any evidence that he was responsible for Lois’ death. Roman thinks that John is just acting out of revenge – Alex came in and took Marlena from him. John tells Roman that Alex is evil and he’s going to prove it. Roman says fine – he just doesn’t want him to end up in jail. Injecting Lois with truth serum was not one of John’s smartest moves – he needs to be careful. John reminds him that he returned from his trip to attend Shawn and Mimi’s wedding – he should go to the church. Roman tells John to page him if there’s any news.
Marlena tells Alex she remembers everything. John was right – he’s evil and she’s going to divorce him. Alex threatens her and tells her she will do what he says - if her memory returned she should know what will happen if she does something he doesn’t want her to do. She looks for the call button but Alex throws it out of reach. He tells her if she tries to scream he’ll kill her. She then says she is sure he would never hurt her – her memory was wrong – it’s probably because John was saying all the time that Alex was evil. Alex tells her that he’s a psychiatrist – does she really expect him to believe that. He tells her it’s too bad she got her memory back because now she is going to have to die. She opens her mouth to scream – he covers her mouth with his hand.
The nurse asks John if he got the message from Dr. Evans – she wants to see him. John rushes to her room and finds Marlena unconscious.
St Luke’s: Billie arrives outside the charge – flashback to Chelsea saying that if Billie isn’t going to fight she is going to fight for the both of them. Billie thinks to herself that she likes Shawn but Hope should be with Bo at her son’s wedding. Father Jansen asks Belle did you say the wedding should stop – cue the shocked looks. Victor wonders if Belle found out Claire is Shawn’s child. Belle says that’s right this wedding has to stop. Philip asks Belle what are you doing. Mimi can’t believe she waited until this moment – she guesses she wanted to humiliate her. Shawn jumps in right after before Belle can say anything and says he knows why she stopped the ceremony.
Shawn says Thank you to Belle. She says she knew he wouldn’t want to go on. Shawn turns and says what are you doing here – no one invited you – everyone turns to stare at Chelsea. Philip says Belle you stopped the entire wedding because Chelsea is here. She says she saw her come in and she knew Shawn wouldn’t want her to be here. Shawn leaves the altar to confront Chelsea. He asks her why she would come here. He doesn’t care if she wants to be part of this family. That is never going to happen. Do you want to know why? That’s because he doesn’t have a family any more. Zack is gone and his parent’s are split up because of her. Kate whispers something to Bonnie. Chelsea whines that she is his sister – she just wanted to reach out to him and wish him a good future. Shawn says it’s too late – he doesn’t care about any of that. Bo comes up behind Shawn and Billie enters the church and asks Chelsea what she is doing here.
Chelsea says she brought them a gift – she didn’t think anyone would see her sitting back there. Shawn says Belle did and I don’t want your gift. Billie apologises to Shawn saying that it’s totally inappropriate for Chelsea to be here. Bo tells her it was a mistake for her to come to the church. Chelsea sniffs that she is sorry. Whatever she does is the wrong thing – she always makes mistakes. Shawn says it was a very big mistake coming here. He turns to Bo and says can you tell her to leave? Can you do that for me, for Mom and Zack? Can you throw her out of my wedding? Bo says no son, I can’t throw her out but I understand how you feel. I’ll take her out of the church. Shawn confronts Bo – You can’t hurt her but yet you can hurt me by not staying here and watching me get married. Bo says I’m sorry son. Shawn shakes his head and says no wonder Mom couldn’t live with you. No wonder she left you. Bo just says Chelsea lets go as Shawn turns and walks away. Shawn tells everyone that he is sorry but he couldn’t go through with one of the most memorable moments of his life with that person here. He thanks Belle for knowing what he wants. Mimi smiles and jokes that for a minute there she thought that Belle didn’t want her marrying Shawn. That draws a few laughs. Belle says well Mimi seeing as the wedding is already stopped maybe I should tell you what I really want. Excuse me but who the heck cares what you want???
Father Jansen thankfully cuts her off this time and says he imagines what she was going to say was that they all need a bit of respite, recovery time before resuming the ceremony. A time to reflect on the love of these two young people who have come before God to join their lives together. They’ll proceed in a few minutes. Kate tells Belle that she didn’t have to say anything about Chelsea. She was sitting in the back – Shawn wouldn’t have noticed her. Belle knows that Chelsea is her granddaughter but she only came to cause trouble. Kate says of course I wouldn’t want her to disrupt the ceremony – that’s unconscionable. Then Kate lays on the blarney talking about how Claire’s stable family and Belle and Philip’s love. Bonnie brings in Claire. Belle asks why. Bonnie says she is Mimi and Shawn’s goddaughter – years from now when she looks through family photo albums she will know she was here on their special day. Shawn smiles at Claire. Bo, Billie and Chelsea are outside. Bo is upset that his son is inside the church about to get married, Hope is off god knows where and he’s stuck outside with her. Chelsea whines that it’s not her fault – he can go back inside. He would if he could trust her to do the right thing and leave but he can’t. Billie tells Bo that he is being way too nice. Chelsea acts affronted and says “Mom!” Billie tells her not to play innocent. She knew exactly how everyone would react if she walked into that church today but you did it anyway. Just like you did at Zack’s funeral. Billie goes on to say that she thinks Chelsea has to have everyone’s attention focused on her 24/7 especially her father’s. She doesn’t care about Bo’s life – she just wants to get what she wants. Chelsea turns on the tears – she gets it. Nobody loves her. She’s not allowed to be part of anything important that happens in this family. They think they would be happier without her. She warns them to be careful of what they wish for because they just might get it.
Bo says he understands that Chelsea wants to be part of the family and she’s feeling that she’s not welcome. Chelsea cries that’s because I’m not. Bo assures her that he and her mom love her. They might not be a big happy family but they can do better than this but they need her help. Clueless Bo says that coming to the church was an honest mistake because he can’t think of any reason she’d want to hurt Shawn on his wedding day. He tells her before the two of them hook up again they should figure out a time and place where the two of them can see each other without hurting anyone’s feelings. She says okay and thanks him and hugs him. Bo says he’s going to get the car. Billie claps and says Bravo, Bravo. Chelsea tells her to knock it off. Billie says Why – I’m impressed – that was quite a little show you put on hotshot. Can I think of a reason you’d want to upset Shawn? Oh yeah – so you could drive a bigger wedge between Bo and Hope and Bo and Shawn. You want to completely cut your father off the people he loves the most. Chelsea says – whatever it takes to keep me out of jail. I will not spend the best years of my life rotting away in a prison cell. I don’t care who has to suffer. Shawn tells Mimi he is sorry. She asks him why. He says we would have been Mr. and Mrs. Brady already if Belle hadn’t stopped the wedding although he’s glad she did because if he would have seen Chelsea first he doesn’t know what he might have done. Shawn asks her if she is okay. Mimi says I’m okay. Shawn smiles and says you still want to marry me. Mimi says yes. Shawn grins and says then on with it. He asks for everyone’s attention. Mimi and he are ready to get on with the ceremony – he thanks everyone for their patience. He asks for the best man and maid of honour to get back up there. They do – Belle carries Claire up with her – excuse me – but her Grandmother was sitting right next to you … sheesh. Shawn is actually glad they had the delay now his goddaughter can be part of the ceremony. Shawn talks about losing Zack and how hard it was on his family. He learned a valuable lesson – to not take anything for granted – not love, not each other and especially not our children. Making our children happy is the biggest responsibility we have in life. And so where is Father Jansen – have we lost him? Father Jansen says shall we pick off where we left off? If anyone hear has reason why these two should not be joined in holy matrimony speak now or forever hold your peace. Belle opens her mouth and looks at Claire.
Preview: Lexie to Sami – Carrie could still choose Austin even with all your lies and schemes. Sami – I’m not going to let that happen. Alex to John and Abe – What’s going on? Is Marlena alright? John – You ought to know you son of a bitch, you did it! Abe – Hey, hey as he holds John back. Kate to Victor – Your choice is to make sure that Philip never finds out that Claire is not his daughter. Father Jansen to Shawn and Mimi – When God joins a man and a woman in holy matrimony it’s for life and no one shall come between them.
**************************************
Friday Mar 24
Pat’s Spoilers
Hospital: Sami finds Carrie crying in Lexie’s office. Lexie got paged. Sami plays her part – she encourages Carrie to be with Austin – to not worry about keeping her promise to her. Sami tells Carrie that she and Austin can be together and have that family they always wanted. Carrie has a flashback to Lexie’s lie. She rushes out of the office crying. Lexie returns and Sami tells Lexie that she did a good job. Lexie feels she violated her Hippocratic Oath. Sami lists off all the other terrible things Lexie has done up to and including the fact that she is cheating on Abe. Lexie warns Sami that her little scheme may not work. Carrie is wandering the hallways crying. She sees a young couple taking their perfectly healthy baby home. Sami breaks into the records room but leaves the door ajar as she starts working at the computer. Lexie finds her and looks at the computer screen and says OMG. Lexie comes rushing to the nurse’s station saying that Aaron, the baby with the genetic syndrome is being brought in – respiratory failure. A nurse comments that the poor baby has been in the hospital more than he’s been home. The baby arrives on a stretcher with the distraught parents behind. The mother cries begging Lexie to save him. Lexie stresses that with his genetic syndrome his odds aren’t good. Carrie cries. Sami arrives and hears and is upset for the parents. Lexie comes out and tells the parents that nothing can be done. More crying. Later Lexie thanks them for donating the babies organs – excuse me – the child has ‘genetic syndrome’ and you’re harvesting his organs – how lame … Sami tells Carrie she feels so bad for the parents but God must have a plan. Carrie rushes away crying. Lexie tells Sami she is going to hell. Sami says maybe but she’ll be in heaven while she’s with Austin. Lexie warns her that her plan may still backfire. Carrie calls Austin and tells him she has to see him. She can’t tell him over the phone – it affects the rest of their lives together. Sami wonders what Carrie means by that.
Lexie runs to Marlena’s side and orders John out of the room. John leaves. Alex rushes into the waiting room asking if Marlena is okay. John tries to attack him but Abe holds him back. I’m not even talking about their dialogue – we’ve all heard it a hundred times before. When John finally gets to see Marlena both Abe and Alex go in with him. Of course Marlena has no memory of John any longer. Alex’s has a flashback to injecting her with a serum that will wipe out her memory or kill him – he doesn’t care either way. Marlena says mean and hateful things to John – John rants – Alex smirks and postures. John vows to Abe that Alex’s wedding day will be his funeral.
St Luke’s: Frankie and Jen finally arrive and sit at the back of the church. Jen comments that Shawn looks so handsome, the Brady gown looks gorgeous on Mimi and they look really happy. Jen has a flashback to her first wedding to Jack. Jen wishes Hope were here. Bonnie takes a shot of bourbon from her flash chased by a swig of Holy Water – if that doesn’t settle her nerves nothing will. Kate tells her to calm down – they did what they could. Father Jansen repeats that same question for the third time – Belle is still holding Claire … worried glances exchanged by several of the guests. Father Jansen tells them it is time to exchange their sacred vows in front of family, friends and God. By opting to be married in the church yours will not be merely a civil marriage but a Holy Sacrament. And thus we believe when God joins a man and in matrimony it’s for life and no one shall come between them. Shawn and Mimi maintain eye contact through the entire time and smile at each other. Belle sulks.
Shawn and Mimi’s hands are joined. Father Jansen asks them if they are ready to declare their love and commitment before God. They answer in unison – We are. Belle pouts. Shawn and Mimi light the unity candle. Father Jansen asks them to join their right hands. Frankie takes Jen’s hand in his. Another flashback to her first wedding to Jack. She looks down at her and Frankie’s joined hands and has a fantasy of Father Jansen marrying her and Frankie. Oh dear – she’s wearing the exact same wedding ensemble that she wore in her second wedding to Jack. In the midst of her fantasy we see her talking to herself wondering if this is really what Jack wanted. The pews fill with many Jack’s. She talks to him and tells him what she is feeling. She asks him to give her a sign that moving on with Frankie is really what he wanted her to do. Father Jansen has the line of the day next – he says. I think you’ve waited long enough. It’s time to officially join you as husband and wife. Mimi smiles, Shawn beams. Miraculously Belle is no longer holder Claire and she is standing behind Mimi.
Jen continues her fantasy of her marriage to Frankie. Shawn and Mimi exchange vows – oh my - the smiles … Shawn gives Belle one cursory glance because she’s busy snivelling while Father Jansen is saying the vows. Father Jansen asks for the rings … Shawn’s voice – oh my gosh – when he puts the ring on her finger and repeats the vows … then Mimi – Shawn’s eyes never leave Mimi’s face – the smiles between the two of them – Shawn looks close to tears. Mimi’s wedding band looks beautiful and when she slips that gold band on Shawn’s finger … THUD! Father Jansen pronounces them husband and wife. Belle cries. Father Jansen places a hand on each of their shoulders and turns them towards the congregation and introduces Mr. and Mrs. Shawn Douglas Brady. He tells Shawn that he may kiss his bride and oh my does Shawn kiss her … and kiss her … and kiss her (be still my heart).
Chez Rouge: Belle tells Philip she is going to take Claire home for a nap. Philip says this is her godparent’s wedding and we’re going to celebrate it as a family. Belle insists she needs a nap. Philip says he will warm up a bottle for Claire and bring his other favourite girl a bottle as well. Caroline tells Belle that she knows that wasn’t easy – she was afraid she was going to blurt out that she still loved Shawn. She asks her what changed her mind. Belle says it was something Kate said. She doesn’t want Claire to come from a broken home – look at what it did to Sami – she doesn’t want Claire to end up like her. Hmmm… I think that Claire doesn’t end up like her Mommy. She declares that they will be a happy family. Caroline hugs her. Victor is angry at Kate for manipulating Belle declaring that Shawn has the right to know that Belle still loves him (geez Victor – he knows and he doesn’t care) and that he is Claire’s father. Kate tells him to give it a rest because if he really felt that way he would have told Philip the truth but you haven’t because you feel the same way I do. We only have one choice and that is to make sure Philip never finds out that he isn’t Claire’s father. Maggie introduces Mr and Mrs Shawn Douglas Brady. They start dancing. Mimi can’t believe they’re married. She asks Shawn to pinch her. He says he can do better that that and he starts kissing her – the guest all cheer. He dips her with their lips locked. Belle sulks. The kiss continues. Caroline taps Shawn on the shoulder and says enough of that. What do you think this is? A wedding? He asks where Grandpa Shawn is. He and Roman are setting up a conference call with Aunt Kim and Aunt Kayla and all the other Brady’s that couldn’t be there. Bonnie asks them if the place needs more decorations. Mimi tells her it looks beautiful – she wants her Mom to relax and have a good time. Maggie says I told you so. Shawn asks where Mickey is. Maggie says he drove Alice home – she was so excited about their wedding that she didn’t sleep very much the night before. Maggie says she asked me to give you a bit hug and a kiss and she wishes you all the happiness. She hopes they will be as happy as her and Tom were. Caroline says the conference call is set up. Mimi tells Shawn to go – they’re his family. He corrects her and says no, they’re our family. Mimi smiles and says right. She tells Shawn she’ll join him in a couple of minutes. Bonnie gives Mimi a glass of champagne and congratulates her. She says you did it – you married a Brady and a Horton. Mimi says I married Shawn. Bonnie tells her to never stop believing in fairy tales. Mimi feels guilty. Bonnie tells her to drink to a lifetime of loving the man of your dreams. Shawn tells his Grandmother he’ll be right there. He thanks Belle for bringing Claire – it’s good to have his goddaughter here – it’s like having Zack here. Belle is sure that Zack is here. Shawn asks her if she is okay. She says – you know me and weddings. She tells him that she hopes he and Mimi will be very happy. Shawn says he hopes they will be as happy as her, Philip and Claire. Philip joins them and says he’ll second that. Maggie announces that it’s time for Mimi to throw her bouquet. Maggie tells all the single women to get by the fireplace. Someone calls out for Kate to join them – she does. Next Jen is told to join them. Jen tells Mimi that she’s doing this for her. Mimi throws it and it ends up in Jen’s hands after deflecting off of Bonnie’s baseball mitt … LOL!
Jen tells Frankie it fell right into her arms – she wonders if it is a sign from Jack. He shrugs. (Shawn and Mimi’s song You and Me is playing in the background). Belle tells Claire she did it for her so she could have a happy life with her Mommy and Daddy. Sure you did, Belle – you keep telling yourself that and maybe one day you’ll actually believe it. Victor tells Kate that secrets and lies have a way of coming out. She tells him that Philip and Belle are married and so are Shawn and Mimi and they’re going to live happily ever after. Victor hopes so. Shawn and Mimi are dancing. Shawn asks her if she is okay – she’s so quiet. Mimi tells him she is so okay (emphasises the ‘so’). This is the happiest day of her life. She promises that she will be a good wife or at least try to be. Shawn says she already is and he kisses her. Philip cuts in and asks them to cut the music. As best man he has one final duty – to give the toast. He wants it to be a family toast so Belle and Claire join him. Maggie hands Shawn and Mimi a glass of champagne. Philip wishes them a life filled with happiness, joy and laughter and may they share that with all their family and friends. He says to Shawn and Mimi – everyone toasts them except sulking, snivelling Belle. She practically throws Claire at Philip and runs out – god forbid the spotlight actually went to Shawn and Mimi – what were people thinking … sheesh. Philip calls out for her – I say let her go. Shawn and Mimi look at each other.
Preview: Snivelling Belle to Shawn – You know I still love you and you still love me, too. Shawn in a very matter of fact voice – I do. Billie to Chelsea – You are responsible. (Bo is there) Whining Chelsea – Everything bad that happens to everyone in this family is all my fault. Austin to Carrie – Do you love me? Carrie – With all my heart. They kiss. Sami toasting Lucas – Here’s to us, Lucas. Loser to the end. Lucas glances over at Carrie and Austin toasting each other. (I’m guessing they’re at the wedding reception???)

Pat’s Spoilers
Bo, Billie & Chelsea: They arrive at the Lockhart’s. Billie tells Bo to go to Shawn’s reception – she’ll take care of this. Bo says no – he won’t be welcome there. He missed Shawn’s wedding and he sees that as me once again choosing Chelsea over him and his mother. Chelsea pouts that she is family too but she can arrange for that to change. Billie asks her if she is threatening her. She goes on to say Bo has done everything he can to show her that he loves her. He missed his son’s wedding because of you. Chelsea whines and because of me he’ll miss his other sons wedding. Everything is my fault. She goes to her room. Billie follows. Billie accuses her of the same things she did outside of the church. Of course, Chelsea denies it all now. By the time they’re done talking Billie no longer is as sure of her convictions as she was. Bo checks his cell – no messages. He goes to check his email on his PDA but the battery is dead. He uses Chelsea’s computer and finds her diary. When Billie comes down he gets her to read it. In it Chelsea goes on and on about how much she wants to be accepted into the family – all she wants is be loved. Chelsea comes down and is furious with them for reading her private thoughts. Bo says he’s not sorry they did.
Hospital: Sami asks Carrie if she wants a ride home – she should be resting. Carrie tells Sami that she called Austin. Sami leaves. Austin arrives. He doesn’t really let Carrie say too much but she does say she loves him with all of her heart. He’s happy she chose him. She tells him it’s more complicated than that. He says they got back together too soon when she came back to Salem – they need to talk about what went wrong the last time and what they’ll do to make sure that it doesn’t happen again. She tells him he makes it sound like the fact that they love each other is all that really matters – he says it us. He asks her if she wants to go Shawn and Mimi’s reception.
Chez Rouge: There’s so much that goes on that I’m not going to attempt to cover it all.
Lucas & Austin & company: They argue over who Carrie is going to chose. Austin tells Lucas he is insecure that’s why he kept interrupting Carrie. Lucas smugly tells Austin that Carrie will chose him. Austin’s cell rings – it’s Carrie. Lucas says does she want us both to come to the hospital? Austin says no – only me – she chose me. Lucas goes to the bar. The bartender asks him what he wants. Lucas looks tempted to have a drink. Maggie comes along and asks her where Austin is. He tells. Maggie understands that Lucas isn’t very happy about Carrie’s decision. Lucas orders a club soda. Kate and Lucas talk – Kate looks happy when Lucas tells her that Carrie chose Austin. She assures him she wants him to be happy as well. Sami arrives at the wedding (it’s much later) – She looks beautiful – love her dress and earrings. Of course Kate and Sami get into it. Kate gloats that Sami is got of both of her son’s weddings. She asks Sami why she bothered to show up – no one wants her there – they didn’t want her at her own wedding. Sami talks about how she and Lucas and Will could have been happy. She was honest with Lucas and she would have been every day for the rest of their lives. Lucas overhears all of this. After Kate and Sami go their separate ways Lucas tells her he heard what she said. She really meant it, didn’t she? She says yes but tells him not to worry – he’s made it perfectly clear that there is no future for the two of them. He’s about to talk to her about that when she interrupts him and points out Austin and Carrie toasting each other. She lifts up her glass to Lucas and says here’s to us, losers to the end.
Victor, Kate & Caroline: Victor is arguing with Kate that this is all wrong – Shawn should be told the truth. Caroline overhears them and asks them what they are talking about. Kate covers up and says it was about business. Victor asks Caroline to dance and says he knows they have gone over this before but he wants an honest answer. If she could do it over again would she keep the truth about Bo being his son from him again? She tells him when she was pregnant with Bo he went to Europe to make his fortune. He says if I would have stayed would it have made a difference. She doesn’t want to hurt him but she didn’t approve of his business practices. She loved him very much but she didn’t want Bo raised by him. She wouldn’t do that to Shawn or her family so yes she would do it again. Back to Kate and Victor. He is upset that now two marriages will be destroyed when the truth comes out and it will – what happens if Claire starts taking on Shawn’s features. Kate says that may not happen – besides Belle doesn’t even remember sleeping with Shawn. She reminds him of what he said – two marriages plus their son’s lives would be destroyed so he has no choice but to stay quiet.
Bonnie, Mickey, Maggie & Company: Bonnie complains to Kate that Belle has made two scenes now. Kate says that Belle is upset because she couldn’t stop the wedding. Bonnie wonders what Belle and Shawn are talking about. Kate tells her not to worry – Shawn won’t break his sacred wedding vows. Bonnie says like that has never happened. Bonnie & Mickey talk – their past is brought up. They have a dance for old time sakes. Maggie cuts in. She tells Bonnie that she wishes Mimi all the happiness in the world. Bonnie thanks her and walks away saying you really can’t hold a grudge against those Horton’s.
We have a replay of Shawn and Mimi dancing – sigh they look so happy. Mimi tells Shawn she is soaking it all in. She’s so grateful to be with him – for him to be her husband and for her to be his wife. Shawn smirks and says forever and ever. They kiss. Also dancing alongside them are Grandpa Shawn and Caroline and Mickey and Maggie. Repeat of Philip’s toast – repeat of Belle making a spectacle of herself and running out. Shawn tells Philip he’ll go talk to her. Philip says this is your wedding reception and she’s my wife – I’ll go talk to her. Shawn says she’s having a hard time dealing with the wedding – he thinks he’s probably the only one that can talk to her about it. Philip says excuse me – I know you’re not suggesting that there is something going on between you and my wife that I don’t know about. Philip wants to know what it is that Belle can only talk to Shawn about. Shawn says it’s not a secret – she probably feels bad that she stopped the wedding when Chelsea showed up. Philip says you told her it was okay. Shawn says she probably feels bad because if she hadn’t of said anything the wedding wouldn’t have stopped and his Dad wouldn’t have left. He just wants to tell her she has nothing to worry about. Mimi joins them and supports Shawn – she says that makes sense. They all know how overly sensitive Belle is – she made a scene at the wedding and she’s probably upset about that. Philip says if you want to go and talk to her – go but you’ll be missing your own wedding reception. Hurry back – I’ll stay with Mimi. Shawn says okay we will. Mimi tells him to tell Belle she’s not upset with her. She tells him not to be long. He smiles at her and says I won’t because every minute away from my beautiful bride feels like an eternity. Mimi laughs and thanks him for the cliché remark but she’ll take it. They kiss. Philip asks Mimi what could possibly be going on between the two of them that he doesn’t know about.
Outside Belle is crying. Shawn tells her that she can’t keep doing this to herself or to me or to Philip or to Mimi. He tells her everyone saw her run out of there. She agreed to be Mimi’s matron of honour. She has to be happy for them and or they can not stay friends. She cries that she shouldn’t have let him marry Mimi. She should have stopped the wedding and she should have told Philip and everyone in the church that she still loves him. Mimi tells Philip that she doesn’t think anything is going on – Shawn was probably exactly right about why Belle ran out. Philip says really – I have a confession. When Belle said the wedding had to stop – I thought she was going to do it. I thought she was going to tell everyone that she still loved Shawn. Mimi confesses that she thought the same thing. Philip says he does everything he can every day not to worry about her feelings for him. Mimi says they loved each other for a really long time. Philip says yes they did but he and Belle are married now and they have Claire together. And now Shawn is married to you – I’d love to believe he wouldn’t have done that if he still loves Belle. Mimi says no of course he wouldn’t. Belle says you know I still love you and I know you still love me too. He says yes I do.
Philip and Mimi talk about how they never expected things to turn out the way they have. Mimi says she has decided to start being happy and not questioning anything any more and you shouldn’t either. Belle says you’re admitting you still love me. Shawn says you know I do. Belle asks him why he went through with the wedding. Shawn says for the same reason you didn’t stop it – it would have been wrong. He says a part of him will always love her and they will always share a memory but it is a memory without a future. You and Philip are married and you have a daughter. Mimi and I are married and we’re going to adopt and start a family. You have to accept that your future is with Philip and mine is with Mimi. Belle says she knows – and she does love Philip – she knows she can count on him. Shawn tells her to start giving it back to him – start being happy. She nods and asks for one last dance before they go in to say goodbye to the past. He says sure – they dance and he wipes away her tears.
Shawn smiles at her and says I love you. She says I love you too. Shawn tells her to be happy. She says you too. He kisses her forehead and says goodbye. She goes in and Shawn takes a deep breath. They come in separately and Shawn immediately goes to Mimi and wraps his arm around Mimi. Philip asks them how it went out there. Belle says fine and apologises for running out. Mimi tells Shawn it’s time to cut the cake. Bonnie tells them to feed each other nice and neat. Mimi takes a little piece and smears it on the side of Shawn’s face. Everyone laughs and Grandpa Shawn tells Shawn its okay – that doesn’t mean he still can’t be a gentleman. Shawn says right and takes the cake and smears it against Mimi’s mouth. More laughs – Grandpa Shawn cheers – that’s my boy. Shawn and Mimi kiss.
Philip asks Shawn what the wedding night plans are. Shawn says they’re just going to the loft. He talks about the great honeymoon Kate put together for them. Philip tells him they deserve it – just enjoy it – take care of his wife. Shawn smiles and says I’ll be taking care of her. Shawn thanks him for being his best man. Philip says it was the single greatest honour of his life. Philip says they will be happy – they hug – Shawn tells Philip he loves him. Belle tells Mimi to have a great honeymoon and asks them when they are leaving. Mimi says not for a few days. They’re spending the night at the loft but going to the Horton cabin in the morning. Belle says it’s very romantic. Mimi thanks her for being so understanding. She knows it hasn’t been easy for her – you’ll always have feelings for Shawn. Belle says she will. She’ll always love him as friend. She knows Mimi is going to be a great wife and do everything she can to make him happy. Mimi says she will make him happy. Belle jokingly says she better or she’ll have to answer to her. They hug – not quite the warmth between those two as there is between Philip and Shawn.
Shawn hugs his Aunt Maggie – Mimi hugs Uncle Mickey – it’s time for the confetti – Bonnie tells the guests to form a gauntlet. Bonnie wants to talk to Mimi for just a second. Bonnie is excited for Mimi – she got the gold ring – she doesn’t want her to forget how her Mama helped her. Mimi says yeah by convincing me to lie to him. Bonnie says you would have lost him. Mimi says maybe. But even now that we’re married I still don’t know if I should tell him the truth. Shawn interrupts and asks Bonnie if he can steal his wife. He says Mrs. Brady I think they’re waiting for us. Mimi says are you ready – they run through the guests and get showered with confetti.
Preview: Shawn to Mimi – Whatever it is, it can’t be that bad. Mimi – It is. Philip to Belle – Would you rather be with him? Alex to Lexie – Wouldn’t it be a shame if it came up now – that you’re cheating with that young, cocky detective. Lexie – You son of … she tries to slap him but he grabs her arm. John – aiming his rifle – Say goodbye to Marlena, Alex, it’s time to die.

Note: Shawn and Mimi were so sweet today. I felt really bad for Sami though.
Kiriakis Loft: Belle, Philip, and Claire
We see Belle coming down the stairs and not very happily either. Philip is rocking Claire in his arms to sleep. He whispers about how he is the luckiest man in the world and that she and her mom mean everything to him. He says that they were the prettiest ladies at the wedding. Belle hears this and starts to cry. Philip is concerned and wants to know why she is crying...again... She tries to imply that she’s okay but he doesn’t buy it and says he knows it’s because she now knows that she has lost Shawn for good and will never be with him again.
Belle looks nervous. She says: “You think I’m upset about Shawn marrying Mimi?” He explains that she was Mimi’s maid of honor and had to stand at the altar as Shawn married her best friend. Philip gets upset when Belle tells him how hard it was for her to see Shawn moving on without her. He asks her straight out if she would rather be with Shawn. Belle tap dances and reassures Philip that she made her choice and he was the one she married. She’s says she knows it sounds conceited but she’s still upset that Shawn moved on so fast. Philip tells her that if he lost her he would never get over it. He knows that you never forget your first love but believes that what they have is a real family. Belle says halfheartedly that Mimi is great and they make a wonderful couple...she’s very happy for them. She thanks him for being patient and says she’s lucky to have him. They tell each other that they love each other, hug, and start kissing.
Philip asks his wife if she’s ready for bed. She wants to call her dad about her mom first. Philip goes upstairs with the baby. Belle goes into meltdown… goes into the hallway with her cellphone…sees a white rose from the wedding and picks it up…more crying…goes up to the roof…sees the carved initials…flashes back to some shelle scenes...including rooftop scenes.
Brady Loft: Shawn and Mimi
The happy couple returns home and Shawn carries the bride over the threshold saying: “Welcome home Mrs. Brady.” He has a huge smile on his face, looks deeply in her eyes, and tells her that he is the luckiest man alive…today was the happiest day of his life and tonight will be even better.
Shawn says apologetically that he knows this is not the most romantic place but they will be going on their honeymoon tomorrow. He grins and says it’s already pretty perfect to him. The two lovebirds get passionate but Mimi pulls back and says they can’t do this. LOL...Shawn just smiles and tells her that they are married now and Father Jansen said it was okay. She explains that she doesn’t want to damage Caroline’s wedding dress. Shawn gets some champagne for them. Mimi sees the letters Rex gave back to her and flashes back. She gets upset with herself thinking she’s done it again and says that Shawn deserves to know the truth. Shawn overhears the last few words and wants to know what she means.
Mimi explains about the old letters from Rex that she found when she was putting her jewelry away, and that she worries their marriage might end up the same way because she hasn’t told him everything...there are things he should have known about before they got married. He tries to comfort her and tells her that it can’t be that bad. Mimi just gets more upset and disagrees.
Shawn wants to start out with a clean slate and put the past where it belongs and focus on the future. He says that from now on they will be 100% honest with each other no matter what and that after everything they have been through in the past year, he doesn’t care about the small stuff. Mimi won’t let it go. She tells him she has to tell him now. He teases her and asks if the world will end if she doesn’t. He tells her how much he loves her and that she loves him and that’s all he cares about. They start to kiss again. He offers to help her out of her wedding dress…lol…but she tells him she can do it. Shawn pours their champagne and puts some music on (Lifehouses’s You and Me…sigh…perfect) and gives a toast…to them and a long and happy life together. She kisses him. They make their way to the bedroom and start to make love.
Wedding Reception: Lucas, Sami, Austin, Carrie
Repeat of Lucas talking to Sami and believing that she really meant what she said to his mom. Sami doesn’t give herself any breaks and says it’s true but she knows they won’t get back together...he made himself very clear. He starts to tell her what he’s been thinking about them but she interrupts him to say that Austin and Carrie have arrived. She toasts herself and Lucas as being losers…Carrie chose Austin.
Carrie asks Austin if they should go tell the other two the news. He wants to kiss her first. She goes to tell Lucas her decision.
Sami wants to know what Lucas was going to say and begs him to tell her. Carrie cuts in and tells Lucas she needs to talk to him privately. Austin and Sami get a drink. Sami tells him that she doesn’t think her sister treated him or Lucas right.
Carrie admits to Lucas she could have acted better but knows that he is her friend. He tries to save her the trouble of telling him who she chose.
Austin defends Carrie to Sami...says she was just gun shy. She’s sure that Carrie chose Austin (turns out she didn’t and we’ve had to sit through this boring dialogue for nothing…sigh…jmo). Carrie tells Lucas she chose him.
Sami is amazed…asks about the kiss…turns out it was a goodbye kiss. Sami can’t believe she’s lost Lucas to her sister. Austin is sure she is still in love with Lucas.
Lucas is stunned. He asks why she didn’t choose Austin. Flashback to Lexie/Carrie genetic lie scenes…back in present she pumps Lucas up…wants to start a family. He asks if she is still in love with his brother.
Sami is upset…Carrie admits that she still loves Austin and asks to take things slow…Lucas is all excited…Sami asks Austin if he wants to talk. He doesn’t. She gives him a pep talk about finding someone else. He doesn’t think so…has nothing left to fight for. Sami looks at him and says…what about me?
Lucas tells Carrie he wants another child (yep…takes such good care of the one he has already…sigh). She asks him if he’s over Sami (wouldn’t it be nice if Carrie cared about her sister’s feelings for once?). Lucas commits to Carrie.
Sami and Austin commiserate on their losses. Sami admits her mistakes to herself but pledges to go after Austin now.
Penthouse: Marlena, Lexie, Alex
Lexie gave Marlena a sedative. Marlena gets a goodnight kiss and Alex pulls Lexie into the hallway…doesn’t want her to stay and poison/manipulate Marlena’s mind against him. He tells her pointblank that Marlena belongs to him and no one else. Marlena has a dream…goes back and forth between John and Alex…and then wakes up suddenly. Lexie plays hardball with Alex and insists as Marlena’s doctor that she will tell her patient not to go through with the wedding...she’s still weak and hasn’t recovered her memory. Marlena walks out and states that she can make her own decisions. She insists on being part of the conversation if it’s about her condition…won’t promise Lexie to wait…let’s Alex take her back to bed. Lexie is not a happy camper.
Alex comes out and insists that Lexie leave or he will physically eject her…tells her that her services aren’t required anymore…reminds her that he knows about her nasty secret…a little blackmail…a few threats. Lexie gets mad and leaves.
Alex murmurs that there is no one who can stop him and Marlena getting married tomorrow.
The Salem Inn: Abe and John
John carefully lowers a case to the table and says that he will blow Alex’s head off before he lets him marry Marlena. Abe comes in and tells him that if that is the case, then he is under arrest.

Wednesday Mar 29
Pat’s Spoilers
Apartment Bldg: Carrie wakes up to a breakfast prepared by Lucas. Lucas gloats – he can’t believe that she picked him over Austin. They share a slurping kiss. Carrie goes to get the paper – off course Austin is in the hallway. They exchange good mornings – Sami eavesdrops. Austin comments – what a difference a day makes – 12 hours ago I thought we’d be spending our lives together. Carrie reminds him that they promised not to talk about this anymore. He says I can’t just give up on a dream – on the woman I love especially when I know she still has feelings for me. She says she still has feelings for him. He wants to know why she chose Lucas. Flashback to Lexie’s lie. She tells him she made her decision and he has to accept. Lucas comes to the door and tells Carrie breakfast is ready. Sami comes up behind Austin and leans on him and says we need to finish getting ready for the wedding. Lucas smirks and thinks to himself that he has the perfect way to get Carrie to forget about Austin for good.
Penthouse: Marlena looks at a picture of the original Roman and Marlena. Belle arrives. Marlena asks her to be her matron of honour. Belle says no because she doesn’t want her to marry Alex. Alex skulks at the door and says too bad. He’s marrying Marlena today and there isn’t anything anyone can do to stop him. More of Belle whining and Marlena fawning all over Belle. The clock chimes – Marlena has a memory – Belle realises she does and agrees to be her matron of honour. Alex hears this. He knocks on the door and says they need to get to the church – he’ll meet her at the church. Belle clutches the clock – this is her last chance to get her mommy and daddy back together. Alex sees her put the clock in her purse.
Kate’s suite: Shirtless John is bowing under the weight of the heavy rifle (don’t know how else to explain that ridiculous stance of his). Kate gasps and asks him what he is doing. He’s going to stop the wedding. Marlena can’t marry a dead man. She asks him if he is going to kill Alex. He says yes, with your help. He explains that she is the only person he trusts now. He’s drawn up papers leaving her in charge of his company and his children’s trusts. Kate says Marlena was a fool to choose Alex. John maintains she didn’t choose – she was manipulated. Once Alex is out of her life her memory will return and she’ll get her life back on track. Kate can’t let him do this – she goes to call Roman. John tells her to put the phone down. He’s counting on her not to let him down. She says she won’t. He talks about his mercenary past. He was highly efficient. He’s tried everything else and always ended up looking like the bad guy in Marlena’s eyes. If her life wasn’t at risk he wouldn’t mind letting her believe that.
Horton Cabin aka Honeymoon Central: Shawn is getting a fire going in the fireplace (thought I better qualify that statement because he does start fires elsewhere … LOL). He tells Mimi she can call him master fire builder – the place will be warm in no time. He scoops her up in his arms and starts kissing her cheek. She asks him if he’s going to carry her everywhere now that they’re married. He says yes – they’re newlyweds – they’re supposed to do this. He notices a large wrapped box and says it’s a present. Mimi asks who it is from but he doesn’t know. He opens the card and reads it to her: Dear Mimi and Shawn, May the love you share last a lifetime and may you cherish each and every day you have together. From your great grandmother Alice. They decide to open it. Shawn takes the lid off and says I don’t believe it.
Shawn and Mimi are looking at the cheque and Shawn says look she even wrote on it – This cheque is to make things a little easier to start out your married life. Mimi says – a little easier. I’d say that’s a lot. Shawn says it was very generous of her. Shawn wants to see what else is in the box – he pushes the tissue aside and says no way. Do you know what this is? It’s a book that my great grandfather’s grandmother started when the family first moved to Salem. It has everything that ever happened in the family in here. Births, christenings … Mimi says – everything you’d ever want to know about the Horton’s and the Brady’s. Shawn can’t believe that great Gran entrusted the book to them. That means she wants them to keep track of everything that happens in the family. Mimi can’t believe she’s a part of such a special family. She says – I think I might cry. Shawn puts the book down and says don’t cry, come here Mrs. Brady – they kiss.
Mimi is unpacking. She notices that Shawn looks sad and asks him what’s wrong. He tells her he’s looking at the page where Gran entered Zack’s birth. He picks up a pen and says he should enter his death. Mimi comes up behind him and hugs him – he melts into her and covers her hand. She says she is so sorry. Shawn says life is so precious. Gran was right – they have to cherish every moment we have together. The only way he can make any sense out of this is to think that God took Zack so he could save Claire’s life. Mimi says she knows how much he loves their goddaughter. He says ever since she was born he felt close to her but now that Zack is a part of her he feels even closer. Mimi looks pensive and he asks what is wrong. She says she was thinking they should enter Claire’s birth in the book. Shawn doesn’t know if they should – she’s not a Horton or a Brady. Mimi says yes she is.
Claire is their goddaughter – she wouldn’t be alive if it weren’t for the transplant she got from Zack and if that doesn’t make her part of your family then … He says that she is right – so into the book she goes. He enters Claire Kiriakis. He says and now Zack’s death and enters the date. Mimi takes his hand and says do you know how much I love you? He answers – hopefully as much as I love you. He tells her they shouldn’t be said. We’ll never forget the past but we need to focus on the future. Pretty soon they will be putting their kids names in this book. Mimi tells him she can’t wait. Shawn says there are so many kids out there that need a family and he wants a large one – the sooner they start the better. She feels the same way but she asks him if they can just start with one. Shawn smiles and says that sounds like a deal. For now he wants to enjoy some time with his wife. He picks her up. She says you’re carrying me again. He says you want to know why – it’s so you can conserve your energy for this. He kisses her and lays her on the bed. Shawn and Mimi are under the covers kissing. Shawn tells Mimi “I want you so bad.” Mimi says “you have me forever”. They’re kissing very passionately – Mimi says I love you – Shawn says I love you, babe. Belle barges in – Mimi and Shawn are shocked. Shawn says what the b … Belle – Belle says I need you. Shawn looks furious – Mimi looks like she’s thinking “wth” …
St Luke’s: Abe and Roman are in the chapel – all they need to do is keep John away. Tek barges in – he’s checked the perimeter – no John. Roman says all they have to do is locate John and keep him under surveillance. Tek runs into Lexie. He approaches her but Abe comes out of the chapel. He asks Lexie to go check on Marlena – John is convinced she is being brainwashed. Abe asks her to get one of the sleeping pills she is taking. Flashback to Alex’s threats. Abe and Roman talk about John and what Alex may do. Abe says they have to stop Alex but they can’t let John playing vigilante. John overhears them and says he’ll do whatever he has to do to keep Marlena safe even if it costs him his life or his freedom. They want to know if he has a gun. He says he would never do that and pulls open his leather jacket so they can see he has no weapon. He came to go to confession. Roman tells Abe he has a bad feeling. John ask Father Jansen for forgiveness for a grievous sin – murder.
In the bride’s room – Belle and Marlena talk – Belle tells her she is making a mistake. Lexie agrees. The clock chimes – Marlena accuses Belle of bringing it there to remind her of John. Whining Belle agrees and pushes her to remember – Alex eavesdrops. He needs to put a stop to this. Conveniently a flower delivery arrives – he pays the delivery guy to knock over the clock and break it. He does. Belle whines. Alex smirks. John tells Father Jansen he hasn’t committed the murder yet. Father Jansen wants to know why he’s here then – does he want to be talked out of it. John says he has no choice – Father Jansen agreed to marry them. Father J says he had no choice – if he didn’t someone else would. John says he doesn’t have a choice either – he’ll do whatever he has to to protect her life. Lexie leaves Marlena and Belle alone – smart move Lexie – I’d run too. Belle dregs out more gifts to try and jog her mother’s memory. She thinks it’s worked and her mother is going to call off the wedding. Marlena tells her she is wrong – Belle stares – Alex grins. The boring foursome arrive. Sami complains that Marlena shouldn’t be doing this. Lexie pulls Carrie aside and says I see you made your choice. She hopes Carrie will be happy. Lucas cuts in to gloat – he calls Carrie angel and takes her to their seat. Lexie and Sami squabble. Sami tells Lexie that Carrie didn’t have to chose Lucas – she didn’t even tell Austin why she chose Lucas. If Carrie loves Austin so much she would have told him all of the truth. Lexie tells Sami that Austin won’t settle for her and walks away. Sami says she should know by now that what Sami Brady wants, she gets.
Kate arrives – Roman asks her if John told her what he planned to do. She tells them John can be very secretive – all she can say is to keep an eye on him. John asks Kate if she is enjoying the festivities. Kate tells him that she is here to see Marlena. Roman asks John not to do anything he may regret. John says he has to go. Abe asks Lexie if she got through to Marlena. Lexie says both she and Belle tried but Marlena is going ahead with the wedding. Abe says John is after Alex – there is going to be hell to pay. Alex hears this. He decides if the police can’t control John he’ll have to take matters into his own hands. Lucas tells Carrie he has a confession to make. Kate follows John. She asks him if he can reconsider this. He says eliminating Alex North is the only thing left to do. Staring, gaping Belle overhears. Marlena has another memory of her and John. Sami tells Austin she hates the idea of her mom marrying this guy but there’s nothing she can do about it. Austin says that doesn’t sound like her. Sami says fate is fate – she has to accept what is and move on with her future. She brings up Shawn and Mimi – who would have thought that they would have gotten married but they did. All these weddings make her think of the future. Austin doesn’t see any wedding in his future. Carrie asks Lucas what his confession is. He says he didn’t sleep all night – thinking of her wanting to come in her room. He’s just so happy that she chose him over Austin – they’re going to have a great life together. It will be perfect. She says nothing is perfect. He says it will if he can make her happy. She’s everything he’s always wanted. He went out and got her a gift. With Austin and Sami watching in horror Lucas gets down on one knee and propose – Sami cries silent tears – Carrie beams with happiness. (I thought she wanted to take things slow???)
Tek comes rushing in and tells Roman and Abe that John gave him the slip. Roman tells him to find Alex. They have to make sure that John doesn’t get a clear shot at Alex if that is what he is going to try. Alex is outside looking for John. John aims the rifle and fires. Tek reports back that Alex is fine. Roman says he won’t be for long if we don’t find John. Alex tells one of the uniformed officers to make sure John doesn’t get near the church. John shoots another watermelon. He checks out his targets and picks up a piece of watermelon and eats it saying he hasn’t lost his touch. Marlena asks herself how she can go through with this – she loves John. Kate asks her if she heard her right – you remember your past with John. Marlena asks Kate – what am I going to do?
Preview: Lucas yelling at Sami – Austin is interested in the good sister and we both know who that is. Austin to Carrie – I really do want you to be happy. Carrie – Thank you (she hugs him). Kate to Marlena – Tell Lexie what you told me – that you remember being in love with John. Marlena beaming – I don’t love John at all. I’m in love with Alex. John – I pledged my love to you, Doc. Alex North will never hurt you again.

Pat’s Spoilers
Horton Cabin: Belle barges in on Shawn and Mimi making love. Shawn is beyond annoyed and asks her what is it? Mimi wants to know as well. Belle whines and tells Shawn that she would never have interrupted his honeymoon if it wasn’t important. (Excuse me, Mrs. Kiriakis but Shawn isn’t on his honeymoon alone – how about apologising to his wife – remember her???) Belle goes all theatrical and says someone is going to die today if we don’t stop it. Belle turns her head as Shawn and Mimi get out of bed. Shawn asks her if Claire is sick again. She says no she’s with Philip. He wants to know who is in danger. Flashback to Belle eavesdropping – she tells Shawn it’s her dad. Shawn wants to know what the hell is wrong with her dad. Mimi says he must be very upset that your mom is renewing her vows with Alex North. Belle tells them that he’s going to make sure she doesn’t. Shawn asks how. Belle dramatically declares ‘by killing Alex.’ She then says I’m sorry – I didn’t know who else to go to. Shawn turns to Mimi – they both have the same expression on their faces … LOL!
Shawn kisses Mimi on the forehead and then turns back to Belle. He says sometimes when people get angry they say things they don’t really mean. How does she know that he really wants to kill Alex. Because her dad threatened Alex. He said if he went through with this wedding that he would kill him. She knows he means it – he’s desperate. (Ah, excuse me – but let me tell you who is really coming off as desperate in this picture and it sure as heck isn’t John Black!) He would do anything to protect her mom – even kill – that’s how much he loves her. Mimi walks around and Shawn glances over at her. Belle begs him to please help her find her dad before he does this. Shawn says I would love to but I’m on my honeymoon right now. She knows it’s the worse timing in the world but we don’t get to pick when bad things happen. Shawn is at a loss for words so he just scratches his cheek. Mimi says resignedly – come on, Shawn – let’s go find her Dad. Belle looks at Mimi – you’re coming to? Mimi tells her that she’s not going to let her new husband put himself into danger without her. They just took vows – they promised to be there for each other. Mimi then adds I was hoping the ‘for better’ part would have lasted more than a few hours. Shawn says they will get back to this. Belle stares. Belle thanks them. Shawn goes to get their coats. Belle finally apologises to Mimi – she’s so sorry it’s just … Mimi interrupts and tells Belle exactly what ‘it’ is … That you had to come to my husband instead of going to your own. You know I’m really sorry for what you’re going through Belle but I just don’t understand that. Belle stares. Shawn brings their coats – they leave.
Celeste: We see her reading her tarot cards. The spirit world is restless – the window blows open – Mon Dieu!
St Luke’s: A repeat of Lucas proposing. Carrie is honoured but doesn’t know what to say. Lucas wants her to say yes. Sami has a flashback to her and Lucas’ almost wedding. Carrie says she can’t and runs out of the church. Lucas goes after her but Austin tells him to give Carrie some time. Lucas declares that she’s upset and needs him. Sami reminds him she ran out on him. Lucas gets very nasty with Sami who is close to tears. Austin tells Lucas not to take out his frustrations on Sami. Lucas gets on his high horse and goes on and on about Carrie’s virtues. Austin says – go ahead, you’ll lose her. Lucas takes this opportunity to remind Austin that Carrie chose him. Austin says yeah it hurts but I’m not the one lashing out. Lucas sneers at Sami and says she can take it. Lucas goes chasing after Carrie. Austin knows that is must have been hard for her to watch Lucas propose. Sami knows it was no different for him. She really thought Carrie was going to chose him. Lucas asks Carrie if she is alright. They talk (I won’t listen to it more than once). But let’s just say they’re all smiles – blech! Lucas wants to go back inside – she wants some time alone. He asks if they’re okay – she says yes. He leaves – Austin comes up behind her and touches her shoulder – she’s startled. Carrie can’t believe she ran acted that way. Austin understands – she was being rushed. She tells him that he has to stop. He apologises and tells her he really does want her to be happy. They hug – she goes back inside.
Sami asks Lucas how her sister is. Lucas says why do you care? Sami figures it didn’t go well. He says it will be fine. Sami asks him if Carrie accepted his proposal. He says we’re taking it slow. Sami says she know how much he wants to marry Carrie. Lucas gets confrontational. He says he will get everything he wanted – he will marry Carrie but she will not get Austin. Sami asks him why he proposed to Carrie – was he afraid that she was going to change her mind – or that he was. She knows that when he thought Carrie had chosen Austin he was going to suggest they get back together. This argument quickly degenerates into a bout of mudslinging. I won’t go into detail. Lucas is so horribly mean to Sami that she ends up in tears. Lucas apologises but he says that’s just them – they always end up fighting and saying things they don’t mean. From now on he will be civil to her for Will’s sake but that’s all. He wishes her luck with Austin and tells her he really means it.
Lexie is outside talking on her cell. Tek the letch skulks behind her. She asks if they found John yet. He says no. When she tries to leave he stops her by taking her hands. He wants her to stay safe – he needs her in his life. Lexie tells him it’s kind of him to be concerned about her but their main worry is John – he can’t ruin his life by shooting Alex. Tek thinks Alex is deliberately making himself a target. Lexie agrees that Alex has been goading John since day one. She would really like to help Marlena but she can’t. Her hands are tied by Alex. He’s threatening to tell Abe about them if she interferes. Tek asks how he knows. Lexie says he saw them making love in her office months ago. Tek goes all macho – Lexie tells him not to do anything. Alex is a very dangerous man. She tells him that no one can find out about their affair. Celeste watches and listens. Kate calls out and tells Lexie that Marlena is getting her memory back. Lexie is thrilled – she tells Kate she will be right there. Celeste waits until Lexie leaves and then approaches Tek. She says you bastard and then slaps him.
I won’t go into detail on the Tek and Celeste scenes. Tek is very disrespectful of both Celeste and Abe. Tek declares that Lexie wants him and needs him and he’s going to make sure she isn’t Mrs. Carver for much longer. Celeste tells him she won’t allow him to destroy Lexie and Abe’s marriage. Tek declares that he will be with Lexie and nothing Celeste can do will change that. Celeste vows to herself that she make sure Lexie and Abe’s marriage remains intact.
Roman and Abe warn Alex that he could end up leaving the church in a coffin if he insists on going on with the wedding. Alex isn’t going to let John, the raving lunatic stop him and walks away. Abe and Roman vow to stop John from making the biggest mistake of his life. Roman asks Abe if they’ve thought of everything. Abe wishes Alex would call off the wedding – give them time to talk to John and calm him down. Abe thinks that Alex wants John to attempt to kill him. Abe says that Alex goaded John more than once. Roman says John is a hell of a shot – Alex must have a death wish. Abe says they better keep an eye on him. Abe tells a uniformed officer to put a guard at every entrance and at the windows – that’s been a vulnerable spot before. Roman returns and says he can’t find Alex anywhere. Abe wonders if John has already gotten to him.
John packs up his rifle and talks to himself. To prove his love for Marlena he’s going to kill Alex so he can never hurt her again. John knows that Abe and Roman are going to make it almost impossible for him to get into St. Luke’s. He grabs some blueprints and says they’re good, but I’m better. John continues talking to himself – his days as a priest are coming in handy. He’ll use the catacombs under St Luke’s to get inside and find the perfect location to take out Alex North. John goes through his check list – he has no exit plan. John hides behind the trees and a statue watching the church waiting to make his move.
Kate asks Marlena if she remembers her life with John. Marlena remembers her wedding to John. She says her heart is John – he is the one true love of her life. Alex pulls out a hypodermic and says Marlena is forcing him to take her life. Kate asks her if she has all of her memories back. Marlena says no it’s like déjà vu. Alex doesn’t want her to remember anything before the service is over. He wants John to attempt to kill him because then John’s good friends will have to arrest him. John will end up in jail and he’ll be able to do take Marlena away forever. Kate tells Marlena to relax – she’s going to get Lexie. Kate realises that with Marlena’s memory returning there is no chance for her and John. Alex sneaks in behind Marlena. He injects Marlena. She asks him what he is doing. He tells her when he counts to three she won’t remember that he was in the room – all she will remember is how much she loves him and wants to be with him. Lexie and Kate are outside the bride’s room. Lexie is very happy that Marlena’s memory has returned. She won’t have to be with that smarmy Alex – she and John can get back together. Lexie then apologises for being insensitive. Lexie tries to comfort Kate. Lexie believes they can find more than one true love. Kate admits that she and John are nothing more than friends now but when Marlena said she remembered John – it cut into her heart. She wonders if he will still have a place for her in his life but then if she truly loves him she would want him to find his happiness. (Hmm … Kate actually does know what love is!) They go inside – Kate tells Marlena to tell Lexie what she told her – that she’s still in love with John. Marlena says she doesn’t know where Kate got that idea – she loves Alex not John.
Lexie asks Marlena if she is denying that she said what she said to Kate. Marlena doesn’t know why Kate would say something like that. She’s not in love with John – she’s in love with Alex. Marlena repeats the mantra a couple of times. Kate tells Marlena that she knows her very well – a few minutes ago she saw the Marlena she used to know. Now she sees the same beautiful woman but where did Marlena go? Marlena is agitated – she asks Lexie if she has to listen to this. Lexie tells her that she said the same thing to her in the hospital – that she remembered everything but the next time she saw her – she had no memory of even seeing Lexie in her room. Kate says there is something just plain wrong here – there’s something wrong with her. Marlena tells her to stop it – Lexie asks for time alone. Alex who is hiding behind the tapestry smirks that Lexie is no match for him. Lexie recalls catching Alex using hypnosis on Marlena. She realises that Alex is brainwashing Marlena but she can’t tell anyone because Alex is brainwashing her.
Kate sees Belle, Mimi and Shawn enter and asks them what’s this? The shortest honeymoon in the history of honeymoons. Belle doesn’t let anyone else speak – she wants to know if Kate has seen her dad. She says no but both Roman and Abe are looking for them. Shawn tells Belle that they should go and talk to his Uncle Roman. Kate asks Mimi what the hell is wrong with her – she couldn’t keep her husband in bed on their honeymoon. Mimi tells her that Belle barged in and said her dad was in trouble and she needed his help. Kate says what’s wrong with getting her husband’s help. Mimi says that’s what she wants to know. She guesses he’s at home babysitting. Kate says Belle doesn’t need Shawn she wants Shawn. She wants to get your husband away from you and I guess she did that – literally. She got him out of your bed, didn’t she. Mimi says she barged in at a very climatic moment. Kate tells her she better get in there and be with her husband – get them back on their honeymoon. She warns Mimi that she better stop Belle from hanging all over Shawn or she will live to regret it. Roman asks Shawn what’s wrong – he though he was supposed to be on his honeymoon. Belle asks if he has seen her dad. Roman says no. Belle tells him she knows what is going on – they have to stop it. Roman ignores Belle and tells Shawn that he should be somewhere with his wife. Where’s Mimi? Shawn says she came with them. He wants to help out – he figures it should only take a couple of hours.
Abe finally sees Alex and reminds him that they are actually trying to save his life. Abe gets a call and asks Roman if he can speak to him. Belle wants to know if it’s about her dad. Abe tells her its police business. Abe tells Roman it’s not good. Belle whines to Shawn – they won’t tell her anything. She’s really worried about her Dad. Shawn doesn’t really think her dad will kill out of revenge or jealousy. Belle whines – what if no one stops him – what will happen to him. She throws herself against him and wraps her arms around him and tries to crawl inside his skin – Shawn’s arms are very stiff and his back is ramrod straight – Mimi sees what Belle is doing. After the break Shawn at least looks like he is returning the hug but he pulls out of it. Belle says thank you much I don’t know what I would have done if you wouldn’t have helped me. (Excuse me – but you’re in a church full of cops – Shawn is doing diddly squat – how is he helping – oh wait, he’s feeding your obsession – what was I thinking!) Mimi sits in a pew. Shawn says you know I would do anything for you. Belle says she knows – that means so much to her. Shawn says but it doesn’t look good. Belle asks him what he means. He tells her she knows what he means – to Philip, to Mimi. We’re not being fair. Don’t take this the wrong way – I know you’re very upset about your husband but Philip is your husband. He’s the person you should be turning to for support, not me. He’ll do what he can. Belle stares. Mimi watches them and hears what Shawn is telling Belle. Shawn goes to Mimi and takes her hand. Abe tells Roman that the order has come down – if John attempts to get into the church they have a shoot to kill order.
Preview: Bo to Jennifer – My wife wants to give up our marriage. If I can’t forgive myself, how can I expect her to forgive me? Hope to Patrick – If Bo hadn’t been taken in by Chelsea’s manipulations my baby would still be here. Marlena to Alex (at the altar) – Everything alright? Alex – It will be as soon as you say I do. John – As soon as North says I do he’s a dead man.

Friday Mar 31
Janice’s Spoilers
St. Luke’s Church: The Mod Squad, The Three Stooges, The Keystone Cops, The Flying Nun, Ozzie & Harriet, Jekyll & Hyde, The Flintstones, Moby Dick, The Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, Elmer Fudd, and last but not least...Shawn & Mimi
Kate tries to convince Marlena to wait/stop the wedding (I am liking this Kate...lol...). Marlena is in 24-hr Alex-Zone Mode and says nope. She turns it around and tries to figure out Kate’s M.O. Shouldn’t Kate be wanting the marriage so that she can have little old John to herself??? Kate doesn’t think Marlena will be a happy camper with Alex.
Alex is interrogating Belle...doesn’t want her to speak to his beloved. She gets in his face and says that she is the made of honor after all...demands to see her mother.
John is all dressed up with no place to go in a nun’s costume (how original...sigh...) while the coppers case the joint and plot course. Mimi sees John but doesn’t clue in....lol... thinks he/she is the ugliest nun she’s ever seen (where’s Tom Hanks when you need him???). A disguised John accidentally bumps into Tek as well and then walks quickly away. With Shawn by her side, Mimi starts asking Roman the right questions... why not just arrest Alex. For some odd reason (can’t be incompetence of course)...he tells her the Salem P.D. don’t have enough evidence yet. He tries to reassure her that they’ve got things under control...yeah right!
John sneaks into a room and takes off his habit...presto...no improvement.
Alex pushes his opinion on Belle and she returns the compliment. He pushes again. She ignores his opinion, as is par for the course with this character, and knocks on the door.
Mimi is full of questions today...all good. Abe pumps up Tek’s ability to shoot...sigh...all bad. Mimi is sure they are just going to aim for John’s arm or shoulder. Nope! Gonna take the guy out...shoot to kill...kill...kill...John is a trained mercenary and won’t give them a choice.
John assembles the rifle again...rags on Alex North...tries to get God on his side.
Belle whines to Marlena...let me in...let me in... Nope! Not gonna happen. (sheesh sometimes I wonder who the mother is here!) Marlena tells Kate that she doesn’t want to argue with her daughter on the happiest day of her life. At Mommy’s direction...Belle’s new step-daddy smirks and offers to escort Marlena’s daughter into the church.
LOL...Go Mimi...she’s more worried about John than they are. Abe tells her that John is desperate to save Marlena. Mimi reasons that John has to know that the church is sealed off. Abe and Roman are determined to be he-men and do their jobs. Roman says that John is like a brother to him and he knows just how he thinks...if they don’t do things right then both John and Alex could wind up dead.
John fantasizes about Marlena...death row...Marlena defending Alex...damning John to hell for killing the love of her life...only visited so she could watch John die. Back in real time, at least I think it is...really hard to tell, John reassures himself that he is doing the right thing.
Kate is still with Marlena. Marlena flashes back to being in the shower with John and making love...then to eating melted marshmallows with John. Alex flashes to drugging Marlena...says the right words...cues Marlena to say the same...Zombie time... Kate picks up on it. Alex goes into the sanctuary.
Roman and Shawn decide to be useful. The men spread out. Shawn stays with Abe.
Mimi comforts Belle about her dad. Belle apologizes for interrupting the honeymoon (pretty meaningless on her part). Mimi puts her in her place. She tells her point blank that she understands that Belle and Shawn have a history of turning to each other with problems. Belle jumps on that and says an eager “yes we do!” Mimi doesn’t give an inch. She tells Belle that it doesn’t change the fact that it was totally inappropriate and she thinks Belle should be honest about why she ran to Mimi’s husband and not her own. Belle argues that she just thought of Shawn automatically. Mimi says she should have gone to Philip. Belle uses Phil’s leg as an excuse. Mimi counters that Phil is fine and a marine to boot. Belle thinks she doesn’t believe her apology. Mimi tells her she accepts it but that she interrupted their honeymoon...just one night though and Shawn and she will have the rest of their lives together. Belle looks strange.
John focuses with the gun...shoots a rose...good one John!!! Is the man nuts??? He does target practice in a church full of people? Mimi wonders what the whizzing sound was.
Kate gets nothing out of a brainwashed Marlena who rags on John. Kate goes. Marlena has a memory of marrying John...grabs the flowers and heads out.
Mimi is still fussing about that sound. Belle starts staring at Shawn. Shawn doesn’t even notice her.
Music begins...ceremony starts...John’s on the job...Marlena and Alex at the altar. Belle frets and frets and frets...still watches her best friend’s husband. (Interesting that Belle’s husband could be at Shawn and Mimi’s wedding but not at Belle’s own mother’s wedding...sigh...). The coppers are on the job too. Shawn’s eagle eye sees John’s gun focused on the groom...notifies Abe that he sees a gun up in the grill...Roman goes into commando mode. Abe prays that Roman can stop John before someone gets hurt. Tek goes into commando mode. John and Tek do a gun tango...boom!
Patrick’s House: Frankie, Billie, & Chelsea
Frankie tries to tell Chelsea that this isn’t a game. Chelsea thinks she knows more that Frankie does about the law...defends that it was just an accident...rags on him ...insists she won’t do jail time...wants him to be a miracle worker. Frankie offers some scenarios... wants Chelsea to be remorseful...cough...cough... Chelsea zeros in on the Hope factor... wants them to make sure she doesn’t return for the trial. Frankie disabuses her of that notion. Chelsea has a meltdown...not pretty.
Frankie says they need to find people to testify on Chelsea’s behalf. Again Chelsea goes on a Hope rant. Frankie thinks Hope’s testimony will carry a lot of weight but so will Bo’s. Billie is sure that Bo will be torn but will support Chelsea. He thinks that will help, especially if he signed the temporary license thinking that Chelsea was a responsible driver. Chelsea thinks Abby, Max, and her mom will testify as well for her. Frankie leaves.
Billie warns Chelsea against hurting Hope and Bo. She admits that she was wrong and that Bope belong together and wants Chelsea to learn some self-respect and to do the honorable thing. Her spawn lies through her teeth...looks at the computer. Billie is skeptical...spawn lays on the guilt...mom backs off and goes to get some coffee and soda. Chelsea talks to herself...all bad...emails nasty little message to Hope.
Brady House: Bo & Jennifer
Bo is gardening when Jennifer turns up. He’s planting Hope’s favorite flowers...awww... and then going to paint their bedroom the color Hope chose over a year ago...then going to work his way down the “Honey-DO” list. Jennifer is sure that Hope will appreciate it when she gets back. Bo picks up on that comment and wants to know what she knows. Jen says that all she meant was that he needs to take charge and tries to convince him to go out there and find her and bring her back home.
Bo tells Jen that he loves Hope but she won’t return his phone calls or emails and he doesn’t know where she is. Jennifer is surprised that he is just giving up that easy...thinks he should stop thinking as a grieving husband and start thinking like a detective. She reminds him of how he saved Hope from Larry Welch and an avalanche. Bo doesn’t think it is wise to drag his wife back home. He’s desperate to find Hope...going half crazy with worrying if she is okay...but respects her wish to have some space and maybe come to terms with the fact that he broke his promise to her. Jen disagrees. He blames himself big time...Zach is dead...his daughter could go to prison...his wife wants out of
their marriage. He can’t forgive himself so he doesn’t know how he can expect Hope to forgive him.
Jennifer keeps trying to get Bo to change his mind. He tells her he’s not giving up...just wants to give Hope time to heal. Jen asks him if he doesn’t want Hope to testify against Chelsea. He says he wants Hope home, but no he doesn’t want her to testify...thinks that eventually she will have to forgive for Zach’s sake Oh darn that Bo and he was doing so well... sigh...he’s defending Chelsea now...doesn’t want to lose another child. Jen says that Chelsea is a master manipulator...knows how to smile and charm to get what she wants and can make you feel responsible for her mistakes...thinks prison might be the best thing for her. Bo makes excuses for poor Chelsea. Jennifer asks him point blank whether Chelsea wants a family with him and Hope and Shawn or just with him and Billie. She thinks Chelsea will try to force Bo to choose.
Bo tells Jen that the bottom line is that he loves Hope and wants her back home but it’s her move. Frankie arrives and tells them that it will be hard to keep Chelsea out of jail but he will do what he can.
Island: Hope & Patrick
Patrick comes outside and offers Hope a mango...asks how her back is. He tries to convince Hope to go back to Salem and visit the doctor for her back and get a proper diagnosis. Hope isn’t going. They argue. He knows she still loves Bo. Hope says she happy where she is right now. She thinks he is trying to manipulate her to go back to Salem and Bo and try to work things out...see if they can save their marriage before it’s too late. He counters that if she doesn’t at least try...she won’t be able to move on.
Hope watches another couple kissing and fanaticizes that it’s her and Bo. Hope has trust issues with Bo...she does love him though. Patrick asks her if she wants to throw all that away and not even try to work things out. He defends Bo...says he knows he made a big mistake...but knows that they love each other. Hope reminds him that Bo has spent all of his time with Billie and Chelsea since she left...trying to keep Chelsea out of prison. Patrick can’t believe that she would take Chelsea’s word over Bo’s. She argues that Chelsea answered the phone at their house and is just like her mother...they both know that she is capable of doing anything to save her own skin. Hope gets upset as she thinks about Zach and goes back inside.
Hope gets an email...supposedly from Bo. She is shocked, shakes her head, and says oh my god!
Preview:
Chelsea looks at the computer and says she will have front row seats to witness the fallout after Hope goes ballistic.
Hope tells Patrick she is going to email Bo and tell him she wants a divorce.
Frankie tells Jennifer he wants to take her to Green Mountain Lodge and show her a good time.
While Mimi looks on from behind, Shawn tells Belle that sometimes the wrong people end up together. (I think he is talking about Alex and her Mom...lol...I don’t think she is thinking that though).
John aims the gun and murmurs...forgive me for what I am about to do, but it’s the only way I can get him away from her.
