Days of Our Lives
Tuesday, January 31, 2017
The gang in Prague are all together, trying to figure out how to lure Stefano out of hiding, and using Marlena as bait. Paul protests, doesn't think it a good idea, is going to call his dad. Marlena talks to him privately, convincing him she will be o.k., don't call John as he will insist on coming and protecting her himself, and want to join in bringing down Stefano. She figures Paul will protect her. Rafe had an idea about what would draw Stefano out, so leaves, returning with a flyer for a music festival, which culminates with a masquerade ball. He got the guest list, via ISA, Rudolfo Meradi was on the list, one of Stef's aliases. However invites have gone out, so their problem now is how to get in.
Later, on a dark street, a young man is walking, stops as a dark figure approaches him. He pulls and envelope from an inside pocket, "here is your invitation to the ball, Mr. Meradi". A gloved hand takes the sealed envelope, holding it up so we see the seal.
Eric is tucking an afghan around Hope, who barely opens her eyes. She has come to, is really not feeling all that much better. Eric thinks perhaps she has septic shock, is leaving to go get more meds, he is almost out, and he wants to see his dad. While he is gone, she looks at the pic of her, Shawn & Ciara, hears Ciara's voice, struggles out of bed to go to her.
Ciara has run into Shawn, is frantic over Lt. Raines edict to use excessive force to apprehend Hope. Shawn calms her down, has to leave. Along comes Claire, all bubbling at the idea one of her followers had who wrote a note saying she should star in a movie about her grandmother, The Outlaw. Ciara reams Claire out, her mom is in extreme danger, & Claire can only talk of a movie? Claire seems contrite, apologizes, of course is worried about gramma, she is sorry.
Jennifer is at the hospital to interview Seth Burns, Julie comes hurrying up, giving Jen a hard time about the piece she wrote in the Spectator about Hope. Actually, it was a good piece, citing all the good things Hope has done for various people, for the town of Salem, but Julie thinks jen should have talked to the family first. In the background, we see Eric, in Salem's favorite disguise, the baseball cap, pulled down, who is listening as Julie wails about not know where Hope is, if she is o.k., how upset Doug is. Along comes Shawn, who lets them all in on the e-mail he got from his mother (the one Eric sent) which relieves all their minds. Eric goes off on his errand.
Shawn leaves, as does Julie, giving Anne the opportunity to approach Jennifer with some papers she has to sign, so Adrienne can do something or other. Thus, Jen learns Adrienne had hired Anne, with a big assist from Lucas, and Jen about has a fit. No, no, no. She & Anne argue, Jen throws a bunch of insults out, tries calling Adrienne, Julie returns. She calms Jen down, doesn't know Anne, but Adrienne must have had good reason. Jen settles down, decides to accept the situation, signs the papers, Anne grins, Jen takes off, running smack dab into Eric.
While the above was going on, Eric managed to distract the nurse who had a drug cart, went into a room, leaving the key behind, Eric opens the cabinet door, takes out a couple bottles of pills, locks up, key back on cart. Leaves. Nurse comes out, looking worried, but smiles when she sees the key on the cart.
Jen is shocked to see Eric, who tells her he has been released from prison, but don't tell anyone. He is going to see his dad, then will be taking off, no she won't see him again. He caresses her cheek, then leaves. Julie returns, Jen is a bit frazzled, mentions seeing someone she had not seen in a long time, ...then trails off. Never mind. She hurries off.
Ciara comes home, thinking apt. is empty, Theo comes out, big towel around the waist, should have put clothes on, but did not think anyone there. Ciara is upset, Theo already heard, called his dad to see if he could work on Lt. Raines. Ciara thanks him, Hug. Claire opens the door, sees the two in the hug, pulls the door shut, stays in the hall. One can see she is jealous. Ciara thanks Theo for being supportive, goes to study, Theo to get dressed. Claire comes in, Theo comes out, she acts surprised, did not think anyone home. He suggests she go talk to Ciara, but Claire puts on a sad face, already tried earlier, no luck. then claims she is all worried and upset about her gramma, too. Loves her so much. Theo hugs her, she smiles over his shoulder. He suggests going out for hot chocolate, she would love that. They leave, Ciara comes out, calling for Theo, but..no answer.
Hope is outside (no snow???) still hearing Ciara calling for her. She is stumbling around in the brush. Lt. Raines and some other cops are nearby, flashlights, looking around. Shawn arrives, Raines doesn't want him there, Shawn won't be dissuaded, especially when Raines refuses to rescind the excessive force order.Eric has returned home, sees Hope is gone, dashes out. Hope is mumbling to herself, hears Shawn's voice, is about to call out to him, when a hand covers her mouth, and Eric mutters...not a word. She tells him Shawn is there, Ciara, too, then passes out. He carries her back to the house, puts her back on the bed, makes her take the pills.
Over in Prague, the gang figures they have hit on the way to get to Stefano. He figures he has destroyed Hope, and tho Marlena is his Queen of the Night, he would not miss the chance to destroy her as well. Marlena notes that for 30 years, he has terrorized them all, used them, tossed them away.
So now, Marlena says, let the games begin.
