At the Kmansion, Ben asks Chad why he wants his help after everything Ben did to Chad & Abby. Chad needs a monster. Chad plans to exploit Ben's homelessness to get him to do whatever Chad wants. Ben doesn't want to kill anyone. Chad says we'll see. He gives Ben a large deposit, which Gabi oversees and flips out about. Chad keeps her in the dark.
At the DiMansion, Kate wants to talk to Abigail. Abigail is reluctant, but agrees. Kate sticks to her story about "Gabby" attacking her. She wants to have tea with Abby. Abby leaves to get some, Kate fingers the pills. Later, Abby has the tea set. The guard comes in, is angry that Kate got past him. Abby says it's okay, walks him out, affording Kate the opportunity to drug her. Meanwhile in the entryway, Abby tells Frank that she'll keep his secret as long as Mr DiMera doesn't find out that Abby let Kate stay. Deal. Abby goes back to meet with Kate.
Abe talks to Belle about Hattie Adams' marriage to and annulment from John. Later, she has recapped everything from the switch & the breakout. Hattie is back in Statesville - and John and Marlena aren't married. Abe suggests that he marry them today, and enlists Belle's help.
Marlena is wheeled out to Paul and Will by John. They talk about Paul & Will's new apartment as well as the Mummy. The young couple recaps literally every second of their conversation with Susan.
In the Morgue, Susan and Sami face off. Susan doesn't believe Sami's claim about the burn unit because she didn't tell Susan her son was alive. Sami suggests they work together. They blab about how the Mummy will need lots of love, and then hug. Upstairs, Marlena and Paul are worrying about how long John and Will have been gone. Suddenly Susan (no longer in scrubs) comes out arm-in-arm with Will, and she and John say that the Mummy's back in his room. (No, you didn't miss a scene.) Belle comes up, wants Will and Sami to help with something.
Back in the Mummy's room, Sami goes back and forth with Big Zero (too many rapists in this scene) about their deal, which they each felt the other violated. They trade barbs and the upshot is Sami's keeping the money she stole. (How is she walking around free, anyway?) The rapist leaves, Belle enters. She wants Sami's help.
Outside the DiMansion, Chad tries to get in, but Frank keeps him out. Chad moves away and Ben knocks the guard out with a stranglehold. Ben wants to know now what. Chad swipes the guard's gun, gives it to Ben. Says, "Use your imagination." Ben refuses to kill; Chad was just testing him. Chad needs to go in to get Abigail.
Inside the DiMansion, Kate and Abby are babbling away, Kate's phone keeps ringing. She admits she has to take it, suggests Abby start her tea before it gets cold. Once alone, Abby switches the teas. Kate's caller is Gabi, who is frantic, but Kate tells her it's all under control. Abby lures Kate back to the room, laments her situation of being married to her rapist as they each sip their tea. Back outside, Big Zero catches Chad trying to get into the DiMansion. As Chad distracts him, Ben leaps out and strangles Stefan. Meanwhile inside, Kate is getting groggy when Chad rings the doorbell.
Later in the Square, Paul, Will, Abe, and Susan have decorated and Belle has retrieved the rings and tried to invite Eric and Brady, but she doesn't think they'll make it. At the hospital, Sami tells John and Marlena that she is leaving tonight but wants to have a good-bye dinner with them. Sami's even brought clothes. Later, she has taken them to the Square, where Belle and Abe announce the annulment is through, and their original licence is still valid. They agree to marry tonight. John helps Marlena to her feet (she's been in a wheelchair this whole time).
In the Square, John gets the ring from Paul, says he and Marlena have said everything they need to say to each other, but also that he's gained an appreciation of what the vows mean since Marlena's shooting. He says some standard vows, Sami gives Marlena her ring, and she says some lovely words about Tom and Alice, who showed her so much about what a marriage is, and how to work out their problems. (Note to fans: the first episode of DAYS aired November 8, 1965.) She says the standard vows, too, and Abe pronounces them husband and wife. They're going to let Marlena recover before any honeymoon. Susan gives Marlena the Barbie doll to cherish. Sami says good-bye to Will, tells Paul to take care of him, then bids farewell to Belle (with apologies), then John, and finally Marlena.
At the Kmansion, Gabi is trying to reach Kate, who's out cold. Abby has gone to the door, nobody is there. Inside, Chad surprises her, wants to get her help.
Back at the Square, alone, John and Marlena vow to be together forever, no more weddings, but let's do big anniversaries. They seal the agreement with a kiss, the camera pans to the Plaque of Tom & Alice.
