Episode #10,755 Taped 1/16 Director – Kathryn Foster
Shawn is talking to a sleeping Claire, so glad to have her back. And now we have about 5 minutes of flashbacks, from Rob escaping with Claire on the pier, Belle falling in the water, Shawn going after Rob, returning to tell Bo he was unable to rescue Claire, talking with Philip, and then at Belle’s bedside in the hospital. Belle comes in, they exchange a few “how happy we are to have her back” words, agree that having a child in danger puts everything in perspective, another flashback to sitting downstairs in St. Alban’s bar, glad to have Claire back. Shawn paces, thinking something else is wrong, wonders why Kayla & Steve came. Belle assures him it was only to bring Pop Shawn to meet his sister, but Shawn is not sure that is all. He thinks something else is up. Claire wakes up, both her parents go for the hug, as Claire tells them she had a nice nap and a happy dream.
Downstairs, Kayla is beating around the bush, as she haltingly tells Bo that his test results from the physical he just took before he came to Ireland showed some irregularities. Bo insists she just tell him (and I agree! Sheesh!). She finally says that there were “elevated bilirubin and high levels of alkaline phosphates”. Bo asks what that means, Kayla just says they need to do further testing, Steve says they have to go home.
Hope returns, realizes something is going on, but they all say they were just talking about getting Claire back and finding Colleen alive. Steve wants to go for a walk, Bo declines, wanting to catch up with his sis, he invites Hope. They go outside, enjoying the view and all the green (yeah, all I see is white, white snow, lol). She wants to know what is up, Steve only reminds her that when Bo first learned he was Victor’s son, and they were living with him, who did Hope turn to for advice. You, she replies. And did I give you good advice. Yes. Then just listen again. Give Bo some space for a while. They go back inside.
Back in Salem, Kate, Billie & Chelsea are talking with Victor, who is assuring them all is well, that Crawford Decker will not be a problem, has had a change of heart. Roman arrives with the autopsy report, which clearly shows Ford died from the fall down the stairs. The women are happy to hear that, but Roman says Crawford thinks Chelsea pushed Ford. Victor assures him that Decker has changed his mind. Cue the doorbell, Victor lets Decker in, telling him the autopsy report has arrived, and shows his son died from the fall. Chelsea says it clearly shows it was an accident, but Decker huffs ….”Accident, hah”. He says something about none of them knowing what it is like to lose a child. Billie replies she thought she lost one…and Kate replies she lost two. Ah, but they got them back, didn’t they. Victor excuses them, wanting to talk to Decker privately, & coldly informs Decker that he HAS lost a child, Isabella, and knows exactly what it is like, and his remarks to granddaughter Chelsea were inappropriate, so what is he going to do about it. Decker promises to apologize. Victor tells him to go wait in his study, then calls Philip, learns they found Claire, the woman who took her is Colleen Brady, Pop Shawn’s sister, and that tho she tried to save Brady, too, he was gone by the time her people got to him. Philip explains she wanted to protect them from Stefano Dimera, who Victor calls an SOB, sorry that he ever did business with him years ago. He tells Phil he needs the plane for Decker, and to send it back. Phil says no problem, he will hitch a ride with John’s plane, or else get a ticket on a commercial flight. He needs to stay and dig around a bit more to see if he can learn anything about Brady.
Now Victor calls Bo, tells him the autopsy report is back, Ford died from the fall, Chelsea is off the hook, as well as Stephanie & the girls, Decker had a change of mind about pursuing anything. Bo does not even want to know what Victor did, but thanks him for whatever. Victor returns to the ladies, Decker comes in and apologizes, Victor tells him he will see him later. All the women are thanking him, no problem says Victor. Billie announces she was fired from the university, and will be job hunting. Victor tell hers any company would be happy to have her, when can she start? Huh? He offers her a job at the London office of Titan, knowing she previously lived there when in the ISA. She is thrilled, accepts, then asks Chelsea if it will be o.k. Of course. Hugs all around.
Back in Ireland, John has his knife out, ready to attack Colleen. She tells him he cannot do this, he says he was “designed” to kill her, it is his mission. He checks on the unconscious Marlena, then comes closer. Colleen tells him he is not a killer, and he will suffer a fate worse than hell if he kills her. God has other plans for her. Marlena is coming to, and calls to John, saying you do not want to do this. He goes for Colleen, as Marlena grabs his leg, screaming, no, no, no. (and no one downstairs hears a thing!) He shakes Marlena off, but Colleen stops him cold, when she blurts out that if he kills her, he would be killing his own mother!!!!! Both John & Marlena are dumbfounded, stare at her is disbelief. And the story comes tumbling out. Shortly after she ran away, she realized she was pregnant. Yes, Santo is John’s father, she was only with one man in all her life, and he was it. But he belonged with his wife and family, and he could never know, so she left Ireland, sailing to Argentina. She found refuge in a small convent, where she gave birth to John, and stayed until he was about 2 years old. The Mother Superior could no longer keep them, telling her the convent was no place to raise a boy. They gave her some money, which soon ran out. She made arrangements with an orphanage to keep John (who she named Ryan) in exchange for her mending socks & clothes, and she could spend every Sunday with her boy. As soon as she got back on her feet, she would be taking him back. She got seamstress work in a factory, and lived for those Sundays with her boy. Then she had an accident in the factory, got tetanus, was in the hospital delirious for two months. When she got out, and went to the orphanage, her boy was gone, the headmaster had been fired, and no one knew where he was. She never, ever stopped looking for him. She finally discovered he had been adopted by a powerful and ruthless family…..the Alamaines. Thank heavens they never knew he was a half brother to Stefano DiMera.
Half-brother. Those words send a chill thru John AND Marlena, but she assures John Stefano is no longer a threat, he can harm no one for the rest of his life. She has seen to that. John is not sure Colleen is being truthful, so she shows him the medallion, which Marlena recognizes immediately from the picture. She pulls it out, showing it to John, telling him she found it in his jacket pocket. Colleen assures him that is him, 2 years old, in the picture, sitting on his mother’s lap. John is silent, then turns, and walks out the door. Marlena runs out after him.
Bo is getting off the phone with Victor, telling Steve, Kayla, Hope about Chelsea & Stephanie being off the hook, all is o.k. Bo thinks he & Hope should get back to Salem, Steve says don’t worry, they will take care of Pop, and bring him back. Shawn has just come in, when Marlena comes rushing through the door, calling Bo, and telling him that John has run off.
