While Mickey and Marlena speak at odds about his release from the sanitarium, Laura reveals her deep concern that she may still not be objective enough about Mickey, although in her heart she feels he is ready to join the outside world. Later, Tom and Marlena discuss the problem of Mickey's release. Marlena is surprised that Tom knows about the affair between Linda and Mike. Tom hopes they can trust Linda and Mike not to tell Mickey. Tom goes to the sanitarium, begs Mickey not to use Laura in trying to win his freedom. Mickey devastates his father with a truth- that his and Laura's hearts are still linked- not in love, but in pain. They will have to be each other's therapy.

2738...9/29/76: EPISODE # 26: BONUS EPISODE: THE DEBUT OF MARLENA'S FIRST RESIDENCE
Cast: Tom, Alice, Bill, Robert, Don, Rebecca, Marlena, Laura, Kim, Hope.
Sets: Doug's Place Bar Area, Doug's Place Family Room, Marlena's Apartment, Bill's Clinic Office, Horton Living Room.

Marlena is in Bill's office, where she learns about the new wedding plans. She questions him briefly about Don, but is actually there to discuss Laura. Bill says she's so busy, she hasn't had time to worry about her own problems. Meanwhile, Laura wonders how Hope reacted to the idea of her father marrying her half-sister, and Tom says Rebecca is telling her about it today.

At Doug's Place, Rebecca is doing just that, by relating it in the terms of a fairy tale. Hope's only concern is that she will be able to be the flower girl in the wedding. Marlena arrives at Doug's Place, finding Don alone in the deserted restaurant. Trying to be upbeat, Don asks Marlena to go out on the town with him, but she refuses, reminding him never to get involved on the rebound. He's a little tipsy, and jokingly blames her for the mess his life is in. It was on her advice he went after Julie in the first place.

Marlena arrives home, is a bit tired, restless, when there is a knock on the door. It's a slightly inebriated Don. Rather than send him out on the Salem streets in his condition, she decides to pour some food into him and sober him up. Actually, she doesn't totally mind his company. But he falls asleep at the table during dinner, which she knows is best for him...he's hurting.
