Episode #10,758 Taped 1/18 Director – Albert Alarr
Max comes jogging along in the snow covered park, running into Chelsea, who claims she jogs there every day, and just got thru. Max is surprised he has not seen her there before. She suggests, since both are done, to take a walk, he agrees. They round a corner into a clearing, and it is filled with huge colored balloons, and a big banner that says, Happy Birthday, Max. Stephanie & Nick yell SURPRISE, and clearly Max is pleased. They all have a good-natured snowball fight (note to wardrobe: This is NOT how folks dress when it is cold enough for snow to be covering everything,, especially if they are going to be hanging around outside for some time,Trust me, I live in snow country. Lol) Max is declared the winner, all sit down at the picnic table, for what I guess is hot chocolate. There is even a table with gifts, Max opens one, tis a stuffed horse….she says every knight in shining armor needs a horse. Awwwww. They all toast to good friends, etc. Nick & Chelsea seem to have vanished as Max thanks Stephanie for the horse, she says has another gift for him, and gives him a really long kiss.
Sami is reading a newspaper with huge headlines that state Lucas Horton confesses to DiMera shooting. She goes to Allie’s crib, she is not there. Sami panics, calling Allie’s name and then EJ’s, rushes into another room to find EJ asleep in a rocker with a wide awake Allie on his lap. (Allie is just soooooo cute!) She picks Allie up, then wakes up EJ, thanking him for watching over Allie. Evidently EJ took over for Sami in the bathroom with the steam, and Allie is now much better. EJ just says it is something all parents do for their kids. Sami gives him a strange look. She wants him to help her pack, Stefano is in a coma, no more danger, she wants to go home. EJ is not sure Stefano doesn’t have soldiers out there waiting to swoop down on them, obeying orders from Stefano. Sami says what good would it do, Stefano cannot do anything with Johnny in the state he is in. Later, EJ says something again about what parents do for their kids..and Sami sits down at the table where EJ is eating breakfast. She tells him while she appreciates how much he helped out with Allie last night, as she was so exhausted, and fell asleep on the sofa, she wants him to remember that Lucas is Allie’s father, and he should respect that. He gives a little speech about how being biologically related isn’t everything, talking of changing “nappies”, having a child spitting up on you, walking the floors, etc., & that Lucas gave up those privileges when he decided to shoot him. Sami, nevertheless, wants EJ to remember and respect that he is not Allie’s father, that Lucas is, how she wants Allie to know her father, then Sami begins to cry, as she says whose knows how long Lucas will be in prison, Allie will be so big and won’t know him, and she cries harder, not knowing how she can live with Lucas. EJ soothes her. The phone rings, and it is Lucas, telling Sami he had his sentencing today, and wants her to come over to the jail, so he can say good-bye. She rushes upstairs, frantic to get dressed and get over to the station.
In Ireland, Bo & Steve are walking in the woods, talking of Bo’s tests, him not telling Hope yet, when Bo suddenly gets weak, and nearly falls. Steve helps him to sit, Bo insists he is o.k. Steve insists they have to get back to Salem right away. In the Pub, Kayla talks to Lexie on the phone, no she has not told Steve yet, she will wait til they get home, have a romantic dinner, etc. Lexie reminds her they have to get Bo back as soon as they can. Up in Colleen’s room, John is siting in a chair, continually flicking a lighter off and on. Marlena asks him to stop, it is distracting. He replies that is the point, he is bored and needs distracting. Shawn, Belle, Hope & Pop Shawn come in. Marlena says she went thru Colleen’s things, found a letter she wrote stating what she wanted done. They will follow her wishes as soon as her ashes are delivered. John says who cares, the woman is dead, give me the letter, I will burn it up and we can get out of here. Belle tells him they may not have known her long, but she is his mother. Later, the entire family is gathered in this clearing in the woods. Marlena has this green urn, asks if anyone wants to say a few words. John passes, no he will not say anything, he did not even know her. Pop Shawn is too broken up, but Bo steps forward, gives a rather moving eulogy mostly about love. How Colleen loved her family, her church, and also Santo. He talks of how strong that love was for her, and then how if one finds that, it transcends all else, and one should hold onto it. His words have Marlena looking over at John, Hope standing close to Bo, Shawn to Belle, Steve behind Kayla, as she holds onto Pop. Now John unscrews the top of the urn, walks over to Pop Shawn, and hands the urn to him. Pop takes out a handful of ashes, and as he spreads them to the air and ground, we see a still flashback of the young Colleen & Santo. And he hands the urn to Kayla….and as each member of the family in turn takes out the handful of ashes, we see various scenes of Santo & Colleen (from last summer’s letter reading) from when they met all the way to the night they first made love. John is the last one to drop the handful of ashes, as we see Santo & Colleen on the bed in the firelit room.
Everyone files away from the clearing, returning to the Pub. Belle greets Claire, saying they will be going home now, as Philip picks her up, talking of her going on this big plane. Marlena tells everyone she has talked to pilot of John’s plane, and he will have it ready to go in a couple of hours. Kayla goes to pack up Pop’s things, Marlena tells Belle she has packed up some snacks for Claire and put them in Belle’s room, Chloe goes to pack up, too, Marlena looks for John, who is no longer in the room.
We see John back in the clearing, walking around, and stops as he is not sure of what he seeing. It is the spirit of Santo standing as the spirit of Colleen slowly walks forward. Santo stretches out his hands, and Colleen does the same, placing both her hands in his. They draw closer.
Back in Salem, Sami is rushing around to leave to see Lucas, wraps a scarf around her neck, EJ tries to calm her down, helps her on with her jacket. She turns to face him, and the scene fades away back to the clearing where John watches, as Santo & Colleen’s spirits close the space between them and kiss.
Thus ends the saga of Santo and Colleen.

Til we meet again, Colleen....when they decide to resurrect you in a few months!
