Episode #10,773 Taped 2/6 Director – Kathryn Foster
Tony & Anna arrive to visit the comatose Stefano. The sight of him creeps Anna out, she feels he is staring at her, and decides to wait outside for Tony. He talks to Stefano, telling him he has had a long time to just think, and wonders if Stefano regrets anything he has done. Cue Stefano to have a flashback of being in the lab with John, talking of the marvelous creature Rolf has created, who has no memories of his past life, and holding the disk that contains those memories. Tony is still talking to Stefano, wondering why he really came, and glad the world is rid of his evil self. He leaves, saying good-bye. An impatient Anna is glad Tony is ready to go. Seems he checked with the doctors, and Stefano will be remaining as he is. Tony gets a call, telling him to get over to the DiMera mansion, so leaves, with Anna deciding to accompany him.
A weary Sami comes out of the bedroom, falls on the sofa, when there is a knock at the door. She answers, it is EJ. She is tired, Johnny was up til 4 a.m. , and she wants to nap when she has the chance. Oh, but EJ has something he wants to talk to her about. Sami says the only thing she wants to talk about is how soon they can get the annulment done. Stefano is in a coma, no reason for them to have to stay married. EJ seems disappointed, but Sami says he has been a big help taking care of the twins, but there is no reason for them to still pretend to be man and wife. (Sami is wearing glasses all through these scenes). EJ agrees to start paperwork on the annulment, she wants Mickey Horton. He claims it is not necessary, simple, and he did go to law school before his racing career. (Ah, a man of many talents is our EJ). Sami finally agrees to let him draw up the paperwork, but still wants Mickey Horton to look it over first. Knock at the door, and a messenger brings a certified letter for EJ. He signs for it, figures it is something to do with his trust, he gets these all the times, will look at it later. Now he gets a phone call from John, asking him to come to the DiMera mansion. He asks Sami to come along. She agrees to get a sitter, and will change clothes. He leaves to change his.
At the hospital, Bo wakes up to find Hope at his bedside, where she has been all night. He asks if the test results have come back, and she admits they have. Out in the hall, Chelsea brings coffee to Shawn, talks of their dad, and perhaps losing him. Shawn tries to be positive, but Chelsea feels she has lost everyone she has loved. The Bensons, then Zack, Grampa Shawn, and now her father. Shawn tells her not to think like that. He says he wishes he and Chelsea were closer, but she says that is rather hard when they did not grow up together. He talks of his father’s pancreas shutting down just as Victor comes up. He is shocked, not pancreatic cancer. Shawn says no, just as Lexie comes up. He questions her, talking of how his daughter, Isabella died of that. Lexie assures them it is not cancer. Victor declares he will not let his son die, if he has to bring in every specialist in the world. Caroline arrives, and they go into Bo’s room.Eventually Shawn & Chelsea join them. Lexie talks of how Bo’s pancreas is shutting down, that it is a slow process, but once it does completely……Everyone understands. Now they are trying to find the cause. They feel the “weakness” of the pancreas is probably genetic, making it susceptible, and that Bo’s recent motorcycle accident could have perhaps caused a bit of trauma to the pancreas, weakening it further. They really do not know the cause, and until they do, they do not have a course of treatment. Victor vows to spare no expense to try and find what is happening to his son.
Marlena arrives at the DiMera mansion, surprised that John asked her to come over. Oh, he was going over the books, ran into some problems and wants her help, if she finds access codes to off shore accounts, he will cut her in for 10%. She refuses, not even for 10 times that, telling him she wants no part of that blood money, and he should give it away. Doorbell, he is expecting Stefano’s lawyer…..but it is Belle & Claire, who wants to see her poppop. (love that name!) John is hesitant, but Claire says….”Pleeaasseee” as she looks up at him. He cannot resist, picks her up and brings her in. He still wishes she would call him John. (nahhhh, PopPop is much more endearing!). Belle tells him that after being at Grampa Shawn’s funeral, she just wanted to tell her father how much he means to her and to spend some timewith him. He brushes her off, saying he is busy, and maybe can squeeze in some family time on Saturday. Belle turns away, Marlena tells him that was cruel. He picks up Claire, takes her to the desk, gives her a big gold pen, telling her to write down everything she remembers. LOL. She picks up a CD in a storage case, asking him what that is. He fingers it, says it is not labeled, probably a blank disk, and tosses it aside. Doorbell again, this time it is Stefano’s lawyer, Richard Griffin. They have a short chat about Stefano far flung financial empire, and John learns Stefano had lawyers all over the world, each handling different aspects of his holdings. Griffin has no idea if anything is illegal, he handled only the personal side of Stefano’s affairs, and is the executor of his estate.
Now we have Tony, Anna, EJ & Sami in the room, and John says that is everyone. Lexie is busy at the hospital. EJ wonders how they can be talking of Stefano’s will, when he is not dead. Agreed, but the terms of his will make it apparent what his wishes are, and the direction to be pursued. Belle & Sami stand behind Marlena, John sits along side the attorney, while Tony & EJ stand on the other side of the room. Mr. Griffin states that Lexie was taken out of Stefano’s will some time ago, and that he has a trust established for his grandson, Giovanni. Sami protests, saying she does not want her son to have any of Stefano’s money, but Griffin says that the boy will make that decision when he is 21. He also informs them all, that recently, Stefano canceled the trusts he had for Tony & EJ, and also says that there were certified letters sent out by him at Stefano’s request. EJ looks rather uncomfortable at that news. Now the lawyer says something about Stefano having only one remaining blood relative, John sips his drink with a smile. Tony says not him, that is the last person in the world Stefano would want handling his affairs. John smirks saying “There’s my new jet”. Griffin has made his decision. Belle says it is time for her and Claire to leave, and picks Claire up, who now says “good-bye, John” as she kisses him on the cheek. Belle says maybe they will return on Saturday. Tony & Anna leave, Sami says she is going, too. John tells EJ he probably would have been cut out of the will later anyway, but EJ retorts that his one big mistake was probably telling Marlena that John was alive and where to find him. They leave. Now John invites Marlena to stay for dinner, but she is rather disgusted and leaves. John sits at the desk, putting his feet up, lighting a cigar, and smiles.
In his room, Stefano is once more flashing back, this time to John standing over him, saying how he is going to live in his house, drink his booze, eat his food and sleep in his bed, and soon no one will ever remember you even existed. We hear Stefano laughing, as he tells John he will never realize his true identity, and how disappointed his family will be in him, probably wishing he had stayed dead.

P.S. Last night, laying in bed, remembered that I forgot to include (Thursday’s show) that Steve asked Abe to run the name Ava Vitali through the police computers.
