Episode #11246 – Director – Noel Maxam
Just be sure today you have a box of tissues handy, you are going to need them…..plus you won’t hurt your TV when you want to throw one at it. Bo runs into Justin at the Pub, congratulates him on being successful, he has finally gotten Bo’s wife. Justin denies, tries to assure Bo he has always tried to urge Hope to make it up with Bo, but then Bo just would not stop being a jerk. Bo takes offense, wonders if those were Hope’s words, or did Justin suggest them to her. He talks of Justin kissing his wife, of being after her since he first came to town, but Justin tells him to look at himself first. And that if he really truly loved his wife, he would not be letting Carly come between them, and certainly would not have kissed her first. Justin walks out.
A preoccupied Carly gets on the elevator at the hospital, not looking at who else is there, punches a button saying “you going up”. And there is Vivian in the back, munching on a potato chip, saying “Down”. The doors have closed, elevator is moving, and Vivian starts taking her little jabs at an unnerved Carly, asking if this small closed place reminds her of the casket she was once trapped in. They go back and forth, Carly becoming more agitated, finally spitting out that she knows what this is all about and yes, she killed Lawrence, he was a violent, psychopathic monster and she’d do it again. Viv murmurs “may he rest in peace”, as the elevator comes to a stop, the doors open, but Carly refuses to leave, not wanting to be down in the basement alone with Vivian, she is not insane. Vivian smirks, telling Carly she will see her in hell, as she gets off herself. The doors close, and whoops, the elevator shakes, the motors whirr, making strange noises, and now Carly is stuck. She is pounding on doors, walls, flashing back to being buried alive in that coffin, yelling for help. Outside the door, a maintenance man is attempting to fix the problem, telling her to hold on. She is panicky, Bo appears, helps the guy open the door and Carly rushes out, happy to have escaped.
Later, Bo & Carly are in her room at the Salem Inn sitting on the bed, each with a beer in hand. She has told him what happened, how she admitted to Vivian that she killed Lawrence. She is beating herself up, talking of becoming a different person from years ago, Bo assures her she is the same Carly Manning he fell in love with back then. And before you know it, he is kissing her, she is kissing back, long and passionate.
In Maggie’s living room, Will questions Mia as to why Gabi said what she did about not stringing him along. Mia is making excuses, Will thinks he had better go talk to Gabi herself, Mia asks why, he says because Gabi has never lied to me, you have. Out the door he goes, Mia chases after him. Will has gone to the Java Café, Mia rushes in saying Gabi is not even there, asks why Will thinks she is lying. Cuz I was raised by my mother and learned a lot about telling when someone lies. He thinks Mia knew full well she made two dates to the dance, she claims she has been thru a lot, her mind was jumbled, Will reminds her he is going thru a lot, his sister is still missing. He finally tells Mia, he just won’t take this anymore, it is over, they are done. Out he goes. Mia sits at a table & pouts.
(get the tissues ready). Maggie sits at the table in the kitchen, as Hope comes bouncing in, babbling away about how excited Uncle Mickey was about the trip, and how he talked about seeing the stars at night, so she brought along Bo’s star chart. Hope is behind Maggie, and is still chattering as she sits down facing Maggie and wanting to show her…..and then she sees Maggie’s face, asks if she is alright. No, I’m not, replies a saddened Maggie. Hope asks what is wrong, and Maggie haltingly tells her “he was packing, I went upstairs to check, he was so excited about the trip, and us spending time together alone. I just had spoken to him 20 minutes earlier……..I tried CPR, I did compressions, over and over and over. But I knew. I have spent enough time at the hospital to know when it is no use. He was gone before I got there”. Maggie is crying, Hope is shocked. Maggie just hopes it was quick and painless. Hope asks if she can go up, Maggie says “of course”, then wonders if Mickey would mind if she did not return. Hope knows he wouldn’t, and goes upstairs. When she returns, she gently tells Maggie she called 911, they will be there soon.
Maggie & Hope stand in the living room as the EMTs wheel a covered body thru on the gurney. Maggie tells them to wait, walks over and takes Mickey’s hand, holds it, tells him how much she loves him. She notices his wedding ring is missing, sees it on the table, and puts it on his finger, telling him she knows he never left the house without it. She kisses his hand, her voice breaking as she says “I love you my darling…I always will”. She nods to the EMTs, who now leave. Hope comfort a sobbing Maggie.
Magie & Hope are sitting in the kitchen, when Maggie suddenly remembers Alice, Oh, Hope, she is so frail. She could not take this. Hope tells her that Alice does have to know, Maggie sadly agrees, Hope calls Alice, saying only she would like to come over, exchanges I love you, too, hangs up, then looks at the picture of Bo on her camera phone, and is crying, as she holds the phone to her chest. Maggie still seems in a state of shock, Hope tells her she will make the calls to notify everyone, Maggie thanks her, she just cannot do that right now.
. Later, she sits on the sofa, holding a beautiful picture of her and Mickey, running her hand across his likeness. Hope comes in, telling her she is going to Gran’s now. They tell each other they love one another, hug. Hope doesn’t want to leave Maggie alone, Maggie says something about how there is usually someone there, the house is now so quiet. Hope leaves. Magie once again looks at the photo she is holding, caressing Mickey’s face. (Kudos to Suzanne & Kristian for these scenes...wonderfully done! )
Rafe feels Sami is not telling him something, she skirts around it, not exactly lying, but not telling him what she & EJ were talking about. He suggests if it was not for EJ, she might have Sydney back already, that someone could have it in for the DiMeras. Finally, she is about to tell him, knock, knock, Bo is at the door, heard about Rafe’s reinstatement, wanted to hook up with him so they could coordinate and try to come up with something else. Sami goes into the next room on the pretext she has to call the school about Johnny (where the heck is Allie anyway?) leaving the guys alone. While she is in the next room, EJ calls her, saying he has not heard any more from the kidnapper, hopes Sami is making Rafe feel he is still in the loop. Sami is uncomfortable, EJ assures her that the kidnapper would no be someone who is seeking revenge on the DiMeras, they would know how dangerous that would be, then tells her to do what she thinks is best, that she has good maternal instincts. She hangs up, back to the living room, Bo is gone to the hospital to see if there could possibly be some connection between Dr. Baker’s murder and the kidnapping. They are running out of ideas. There has not been a ransom note, there has to be a reason Sydney was taken. A guilty Sami only tells Rafe how much she loves him, trusts him, knows he is doing everything he can to find Sydney. Etc. Rafe says she is right, and he is going to do everything he can to get Sydney back, he wants to see Sami happy again. Kiss.
And now we see Anna, in her coat, with Sydney wrapped up warmly in a huge blanket, opening the front door, startled to see EJ there. EJ sharply says her name…..Anna. Just what do you think you are doing? I gave you strict orders not to leave here, and find you going out the door. They are inside, Anna is trying to explain about hearing the noise, and thinking perhaps the place was not safe any more. EJ assures her it is, and she is to stay put, stay with the plan. EJ is talking to Sydney, Anna think Sydney missed him, he has missed her. She takes Sydney for a nap, comes back, is a bit ticked at EJ’s attitude. She reached out to him when Tony died, was there for him…..and reached out to him again when Nicole took Sydney. EJ knows that, tells her to stick with the plan, when this is over she will get the money and he will get his daughter. She makes a comment that the money is rightfully hers anyway, Tony’s share of the inheritance before he was written out of the will. She wonders when this will be over, EJ says when he says it will be over.
She goes to check on Sydney, this is when he calls Sami….see above. She returns, putting Sydney back in the playpen, he accuses her of eavesdropping, she purrs she was not, she overheard, this is a small place. She berates Sami for turning out like she did, with such a wonderful mother like Marlena. She talks of going to Bora Bora when this is over, EJ comments about some ugly dream house she & Tony evidently built there for themselves (??) and next he is holding Sydney in his lap, talking of her getting a couple more teeth, kissing her forehead. Anna says she knows EJ is not going to reveal his master plan, or timetable to her, but would like to know what the next step is going to be. He replies that all she has to know is she will be paid when the job is done. And thanks her. Sydney seems very tired and is nestled on his shoulder, as EJ begins softly singing Twinkle, twinkle, little star to her.
