Days of Our Lives
Monday, March 14, 2016
To give credit where credit is definitely due, the actor, Tobin Bell, who is portraying Yo Ling is absolutely fabulous! His scenes with John, which take up a great deal of the show today, are outstanding, and bring out the best in John, as well.
Kayla, Steve & Joey are at the Pub, with Joe arguing about his dad taking the fall for him. His parents assure him this is best, not to worry, they are handling everything, it will all be o.k. Kayla has him clear the table & go help gramma in the kitchen, talks with Steve a bit. He leaves to meet up with attorney Belle. Joey talks with mom a bit, bemoaning letting Dad take the fall for him, Kayla assures him it is o.k., she has to get back to work.
At the hospital, Rafe is telling an upset Gabi what happened, she is thankful he is o.k., Marlena comes rushing up, learns Eduardo is the one shot, where is John. Rafe doesn't know, The Agency took him. Fynn comes out, it was a clean shot, Eduardo came thru it all fine, lost a lot of blood, but will be o.k. Rafe has to see him, goes in, thanks Eduardo for taking the bullet meant for him, wants all the info on the Agency, they took John. Ed doesn't have much, his contacts were always different, he never met the higher ups, their headquarters were no where and everywhere
Steve meets Belle in her office in the square, they sit as she looks at the shrine pics, can see Ava was a disturbed woman, and along with the blackmail, figures she can talk Justin out of prosecuting. Fat chance, as when she sees him, shows the pics, Justin figures he can get around it all, can even show premeditation. Steve went outside the law, did not call cops when Kayla was kidnapped, Ava's harrassment could have been stopped with a restraining order, Steve has been in trouble before, no dice.
Back at the hospital, Kayla has told Steve about John being taken, they have learned what Justin said, Marlena & Rafe both join them, Rafe wanting to know whatever John ever told Marlena about Winterthorne Academy. Steve insists John is his partner, and he is going to help, despite Kayla's warning about him being on bail.
Gabi goes in to see Eduardo, has ARianna, so he can see she is safe. Ari plays with his ring a bit, puts it back on his finger. Gabi says Ed has lots of explaining to do, but they have plenty of time now.
An upset Joey walks in the park, runs into Jade, who can see he is upset. She knows his father was charged with killing that woman, but Joey's conscience gets the better of him, he admits he did it, not his dad. Tells her the whole story. She thinks he is lucky his dad would take the blame, her father would let her rot in prison. Joey says he just cannot let his dad take the blame for something he did.
And over to John, chained to the pole, coming to, Yo Ling hobbling with his can into the room, where he answers a lot of John's questions. Really good scenes. He makes some sort of tea he got from Nepal, but John refuses to drink it, eventually passing out. YoLing throws a bucket of water on him to revive him. He begins his tale, was thought dead in Korea, but managed to summon all his strength, and get into the mountains of China (???) where he met up with these men who taught him martial arts. He took the name Yo LIng, means Phantom in Chinese, and managed to join all these disjointed, disillusioned people into one cohesive organization, known as the Phantom agency. He refers to the U.S. (who he says abandoned him) as United States of Amnesia, United States of Aggression, talks of the 38th Parallel, and what happened there. He talks of having toppled various leaders all over the world, leaders who evidently did not follow his way of thinking. John scoffs at his use of the word aggression, look at what he has done, is doing. He talks of the man Timothy Ribichaux, who was kind, charitable, what happened to him. Yo Ling talks of YO Ling who makes a difference. John snaps "so did Stalin", Yo respons back with a list of others, Malcom X, Mandela, Zapata, Crazy Horse...all made a difference, but died too young.
He says it took him a while to track John down after his mother abandoned him, learned from the orphanage about the adoption by the Alamaines, paid them a huge sum for John, promising to enroll him in the prestigeous Winterthorne Academy. John proved at the outset he would be a "chosen one", so was specially trained, was to follow in his father's footsteps. John refers to being brainwashed, Yo says educated, John says no, indoctrinated. They go back & forth. John was on verge of having his own brigade, 250 men, when Petrov betrayed Yo, taking John, and giving him to Stefano.
He talks of learning eastern medicine which helped him treat his men in the field, but then he developed Topits, learned Bo Brady had found someone working on it. Yo doesn't intend to leave so young as those others, so hired someone to get the info from Bo. John angrily yells that he is responsible for Bo's death. Collateral damage, says Yo.Even the taking of Marlena & Ari.
But now he also has developed a very serious blood disease, needs fresh, healthy blood, and that is where John comes in. He warns that John could die, but at least he would have the satisfaction of knowing he died for the good of the planet and mankind.
