Episode # 10,676 Taped 9/25 Director – Roger Inman
Oh, please have tissues handy today. A moving, emotion filled show, and more of the same will be sure to come all week. Let’s get the silly stuff out of the way first. The sorority house is all abuzz with all the supposed co-eds trying to decide what color nail polish Morgan should wear for her date with Max. A scream is heard, and Cordy comes out having a fit cuz she looks like a hooker, she says, only needing hot pants and 6” heels. She figures Ford will run the other way. Her sisterhood rallies round to fix her, getting cold cream and “the hottest dress in the house”. The guys arrive, Steponme stalls them a bit. She asks Max where he is taking Morgan, naming a few fancy places, but he intends to take her down to the racing pit. LOL. Something different. Cordy comes out, looking beautiful, Ford is impressed. They leave, and Max & Morgan soon leave, too. And there is Steponme, green eyed and peering out the window after them. Chelsea is all excited, saying that was so much fun (getting Cordy dolled up), but Steph is preoccupied with what is doing.
Marlena is talking to an unconscious and bloody John on the street, telling him to hang on, as Belle comes rushing out with blankets. Both are in tears, Marlena relives John being hit by the car, landing in the street. An ambulance and squad car arrives, & John is taken away. Sami & Lucas arrive. Earlier, at the Pub, Sami is horrified by the news that John was struck down, blaming herself for tearing up the annulment papers. EJ is making a secret call to Stefano, to talk of John Black. Sami tells EJ she can do the math, she knows John was hit by a DiMera. EJ claims to have had nothing to do with it, but Lucas reminds him of all the DiMera soldiers he has bragged about. Sami & Lucas leave. Back on the street, Sami is blaming herself again, but both Belle & Marlena assure her it is not her fault. They all go to the hospital.
Tony & Anna come into the room where Stefano is sitting in his wheel chair. A few pleasantries, Tony asks where is Andre, and learns he is dead, murdered by Old Man Shawn. Tony asks if he has been arrested, Stefano laughs no, but soon will be. Tony says he is glad Andre is gone, Stefano has a fit, you should be mourning his death. After all he did to me, sez Tony. He took 20 years of my life, left me on a Godforsaken island all alone. Stefano reminds him he has some companionship, the two lovely ladies. Stefano tells Tony he should not let his life be ruled by the past (huh? There is the pot calling the kettle black) & he now tells Tony he has to be at his side, taking over the DiMera empire. Tony is taken aback, asking just what that means. More murder and mayhem, kidnapping, perhaps, the lovely Marlena, putting someone in chains??? No thanks, he will not be part of that. Anna tries to smooth things over, but Tony leaves the room, and she follows. He hopes she was not trying to invite Stefano to move in with them. No, of course not.
And now John is wheeled in, with Marlena, Belle, Sami & Lucas all following, and Tony learns of John’s accident. Dr. Berman says they are taking John upstairs to surgery, as they have to determine the extent of his injuries. Everyone is frantic, crying. Lucas finds out Shawn was released, and offers to go get him for Belle. Sami thanks him, telling him he is her rock. Tony tells Anna that John is his brother, but he hardly knows him. They go up to Marlena, saying they will leave so Marlena and her family can be together. Marlena tells him he IS John’s family. Tony & Anna are going to check at police station to see if any more info on driver of the car that hit John.
EJ slips into the room with Stefano, telling him the hit on John was brilliant, much better than Sami’s son or sister. She will get the message and will probably agree to marry him. Stefano claims to have no idea what he is talking about. EJ asks about Andre, learning he is dead, and is told that Pop Shawn is responsible. About 2 seconds to get over that, and EJ is on again about Sami. Stefano tells him that Benjy and Andre are both dead, his greatest creation, John, is severely injured and all he can talk about is a woman! Stefano muses over John being his personal mercenary, his Pawn. EJ asks why Stefano never got Marlena….and Stefano says it was because of John. As hard as he tried, John & Marlena had this connection, and it was impossible to overcome it.
Out in the hall, Marlena, Belle & Sami are comforting each other. (Have to give kudos big time to Diedre Hall, who will just break your heart). John is wheeled out, and Dr. Berman comes out, to answer questions from an anxious Marlena. Will he be all right. And Dr. Berman goes into this huge litany of injuries, I cannot remember them all. His back is broken in two places, collar bone broken as are 3 ribs. His liver is crushed, other organs are damaged. His organs are shutting down, and Dr. Berman does not expect him to live through the night. Marlena rushes into the room with John, as does Belle. They talk to John, telling him to hang in there, he is strong, he can do it. Marlena looks at the machine, remembering again John being hit by the car, as Dr. Berman is going on about the different injuries.
EJ comes out of Stefano’s room and Sami confronts him. She is spitting tacks, as she tells him she knows why John was hit. She tore up those papers, told EJ she would not marry him, and bingo. She can do the math, got the message. She hands him the signed annulment papers, telling him thru clenched teeth she will do it, she will marry him, but tell his father, this vendetta ends tonight.
Stefano is alone in the room, when a messenger arrives with an envelope. Stefano tells him to sign for it himself, and the guy leaves. The large brown envelope is addressed to Stefano, and has a big stamp on it, saying Confidential. He opens it, to pull out a smaller envelope. On it is “Samantha Brady Roberts” – DNA results. He opens it, reads the paper inside, and says, Ahhh, just as I thought.
Belle sobs to her mom, what are we going to do. Marlena holds her as she cries, telling Belle they will call Bo, Hope, Kayla & Steve, Roman, everyone who loves John, so they can come and say goodbye.
