Xander & Sarah making out on the sofa, baby cries, she jumps up, baby still sleeping. Both agree Mickey will sleep in their room tonight, tho probably not much sleep. Xander suggests wedding plans, they talk of a date, decide on "tomorrow". Only need a couple of witnesses, someone to marry them, & the two of them. She happily agrees, saying something about Maggie not accepting plea deal, so will be gone for years, she cannot wait for that, wants happy now. Kissss.
Nicole is with Abe as Eric comes in, she is telling Abe she & Eric have no secrets so has to tell him, makes up a story about Brandon having a rough time currently, Abe doesn't deny, Eric is sorry, Abe leaves. Nicole/Eric do I love you, tho she has the envelope in her hand, tells Eric she is fine, healthy, etc. He wants to go for takeout, she says no, she has to go to NY, will be back tomorrow, will pick up dinner on way home from airport, they will eat and have their talk. Later, she is packed, got the last flight to NY, thanks him for watching Holly while she is gone, Eric assuring her that (he had been looking at a ring in a box prior to her walking in) Holly, Mackenzie, her & him are all family. Hugs.
Abby & Anna are at the gateway to Maison Blanche 2, guard won't let them in, not on list. They confer.
Kristen tending to a wounded Brady, who has been shot in shoulder area, bloody, but shirt still on as she pats area with a towel. Zombie robot Chad still holding gun, Stevano rushes in, heard gunshot. Chad claims Brady caused a problem, Kristen denies, Chad trying to kill her, Brady stopped him. Steveano orders Chad not to harm them, tells Kristen there is a med. box in living room, she can fix Brady up with it. Tony tries to reason with Steveano, who has informed them that Marlena is taking care of finishing off John, no more problems there. Tony won't be a part of this farce, but Steveano pulls a gun on him.
John has evidently been in a struggle of some kind, is collapsed in a wing chair, Marlena holding a gun on him. He is gasping, pleading, reminding her she is a doctor, a healer, helps people. She talks of being married to Stefano now, he says no, there was no divorce, I never signed papers, he lied to you. She goes on about taking her to Paris, dancing, he is no, he kidnapped you. (These scenes are sooo good) There are flashbacks, first of Marlena saying I do to Stefano, and then to John. He pleads, she holds the gun, hand shaking, he keeps calling her doc, talking of their love for each other, how she broke away from Stefano's control in the past because of it, begging her to come to him, come back to him.
Abigail tells the guard there has to be a mistake, she wants to see that guest list, He starts to take it to give to her, Anna gets behind him, takes off her shoe, whacks him, down he goes, Abby asks (who ARE you?, lol) She replies she knew she only had one shot, make the most. They go inside the compound.
Chad has been holding the gun on Kristen & Brady, but decides he will check on the others for himself. Puts the gun in back pocket, adjusts his jacket, starts to open the door.....and Abigail appears. There you are, she says.
Marlena holds the gun on John, her hands shaking even more. Her face begins to change, she starts to cry, throws the gun down, collapses on the floor beside John, holding his leg, crying, as he is crying out Doc, you are here.
Anna bursts into the room where Steveano holds the gun on Tony. Don't you dare hurt him, she exclaims, taking off her shoe. Steveano turns around, she is smacking at him with that spiked heel, down he goes, screaming in pain.
