Austin offers to get them both coffee, Carrie agrees. Austin walks over to the counter, and Carrie watches him go. She sees a man sitting at the counter, who suddenly smiles. Carrie turns and sees a woman who's just gotten off the train. she runs to the man Carrie gets the daydream look in her eyes, and imagines the man was Austin, waiting for her. She snaps out of the dream, and as the couple walks away, she sits down. She then gets the flashback look and remembers again finding the lipstick on Austin's pillow. Austin returns with her coffees, she slides away from him and says she doesn't want it. Austin is confused, she said she wanted coffee, but Carrie flatly states that she's changed her mind, grabs the cup and tosses it in the trash. Austin wants to know what's wrong, Carrie says she's just anxious to get to the next stop. Austin thinks Sami went all the way to Los Angeles. Carrie says he doesn't know for sure. Austin says it's just a hunch he has. Carrie thinks Austin thinks they're wasting their time. He tries to protest, but Carrie tells him that she's perfectly capable of looking for Sami on her own and he can go back to Salem if he wants. Austin says why would he go back? Carrie suggests maybe he has *things* to take care of. Austin asks just what is going on. Carrie asks "Oh you can't think of anything you might have done that would upset me?" Austin asks her if she's done anything. Carrie is confused. Austin says "I guess we both have our little secrets." Carrie says yep, we do.

Carrie is looking longingly at Austin across the room. A (really ditzy blonde) girl comes by and says, "Is that great looking guy you're looking at your boyfriend?" Carrie says he used to be. The girl wonders what happened, Carrie isn't sure. One thing after another made it all fall apart. She thought they could work it out, but because of the lipstick she found on the pillow, she knows he's sleeping with someone else. Carrie can't believe Austin could do such a thing so soon after they broke up , but she guesses men are just different like that. The girl asks if Carrie still loves him, Carrie says yes. The girl says Carrie should confront Austin. Carrie says no, it's too painful. Across the way, a woman sitting next to Austin watches him gazing longingly at Carrie. She notices Austin is having girlfriend troubles. She offers to listen to his problems. Austin says it's complicated, they've both made mistakes and neither one wants to say they're sorry. The lady tells austin to tell her he's sorry. Austin says he can't because he promised not to tell the truth, and until he's released from the promise (like bring released from some evil curse), he has to keep the secret. The lady says that secrets have a way of coming out and when they do, they can destroy relationships. Austin knows, but he has to keep the promise.

Lucas is still worried about Sami, despite all the crazy things she's done. Jamie agrees, there's no telling what Sami will do. Lucas tells her not to worry, Austin and Carrie will find her. Jamie says she thinks Sami wants to get lost and stay lost.Carrie is on a pay phone, calling her grand parents. She tells their answering machine that she and Sami have gone away for a while to try to work things out and she'll call them soon. she takes a seat. Austin comes in, their eyes meet, and he sits in a seat across the isle from her. They look away. the guy sitting next to Austin hits a button and in comes....mood music. "I Only Have Eyes For You". Carrie gets the flashback look, and dreams of a night, I believe in the Cabin with Austin, and then the time on the roof before Austin went to Chicago. when she snaps out of it, Austin is sleeping. Carrie thinks Austin doesn't care because he doesn't remember. Austin has the classic flashback look . He dreams of the same Cabin scene that Carrie did. Then he dreams of when he gave Carrie the promise ring. He snaps out of it, fights off tears and looks over at Carrie, who is staring out the window. Carrie and Austin continue their search in Los Angeles in Sami, attracting the attention of a mysterious man named Tyrone, who is taken by Carrie's beauty. Carrie and Austin get rooms in a cheap hotel. Carrie insists on having her own room. She sees a huge cockroach and screams, and Austin comes to her rescue. The two embrace briefly, but Carrie pulls back and tells Austin he should get back to his room. Noticing Carrie in her cute nightie, the sleazeball Tyrone says she looks even better with less clothes on. Carrie wakes after having a dream about her and Austin. She and Austin decide on where to look for Sami. Tyrone watches Carrie from afar. Tyrone finally gets Carrie alone and locks her up. Carrie calls for someone to help her. One of Tyrone's girls, Emily, comes to give her food and Carrie begs her to help her by telling Austin where she is. Emily meets Austin, but after seeing Tyrone at the coffee shop, doesn't tell him where Carrie is. Austin starting to worry about Carrie.Austin spots Carrie's ring around Emily's neck she won't talk, and neither will Bea (the owner of the restaurant), but Austin promises to protect them, so they tell him where Carrie is. Carrie, meanwhile, had distracted Ty when he came into her cell and bonked him on the head, temporarily knocking him out. She doesn't move quickly enough, and he grabs her before she can escape. He intends to teach her a lesson, but Austin rushes to Carrie and frees her before Ty can beat her. They kiss and all is well.

Austin rescues Carrie from the evil Tyrone. When she hugs him [and swaps spit] for saving her life, they almost reconcile, but Austin's guilt from sleeping with Sami won't allow it. [He says he needs to talk with her and rehearses the scenario of him telling Carrie that he slept with her sister in his head. He realizes she's going to be hurt by it, but also knows that she'll be more hurt if he waits any longer.Emily shows up and offers proof that Ty may have had something to do with Sami's disappearance. [Emily recalls talking with a girl, but she doesn't know where she is now. But she gave her a phone number and the name 'Caroline' in case she hears of her getting into trouble. Carrie looks at the writing and says it's Sami's. Emily says only Ty would know where Sami is. They decide to stay in Los Angeles. Austin had wanted to return to Salem to 'regroup' and have Kate put out ads about Sami's disappearance and Jenn do something on her TV show. Carrie wants to start searching for Sami immediately, but Austin thinks they should get some sleep and wait til tomorrow. He thanks Emily profusely and gives her his hotel room so she'll be safe. He'll stay with Carrie. Carrie is uncomfortable with the idea, especially since they still have not resolved their differences. Carrie lies down to rest, and then remembers that Austin wanted to talk. He begins to tell her the problem, but soon Carrie is asleep. Austin sadly cries that until he can resolve the situation, getting back together with Carrie is only a dream. He enters the shower.

April 18 - June 3, 1994

CARRIE & AUSTIN MAKE LOVE FOR THE FIRS TIME

SAMI RAPED BY ALAN

Lucas Discovers Bill Is His Father

Gabe First Appears To John (This moment begins the Possession Storyline)

Austin packs his bag and leaves to go to Carrie. Lucas bangs into Austin's car and it won't start which means he can't drive to the mountains for his and Carrie's night there. Alan offers to help fix it.

Alan fixes Austin's car so it will break down on the way to the lodge. He calls the police because he's also terrified of what he's doing. Marlena is there so she speaks to him to try to talk him out of the rape he says he's going to do. After he hangs up he goes to the frat party with Sami and gets her drunk so she'll pass out and won't remember he wasn't there. He heads up to the mountains. Austin's car breaks down on the way and Carrie is there waiting for him.

Carrie and Austin make love.

Alan goes the the lodge to rape Carrie but Austin manages to hitch a ride and get there so Alan decides it'll have to be Sami instead and goes back to the party where she is semi-conscious.

Carrie and Austin have made love and are basking in the afterglow, though concerned about the rapist after Sami rings to say hi and tells Carrie about it.

Sami has a bad hangover after the party. Alan comes to see her at school and she tells him she's sure he was away from the party for a long time but he says it was only a short while and she was just too drunk to tell. He says to her that they should do something by themselves like dinner. Sami agrees to go out with Alan. He tells her they'll go to a movie and have dinner and that then he's got something very special planned for her.

Carrie and Ausin return from their trip and everyone is happy to see how happy and in love they are (except Alan of course).

At lunch Alan , invited, he says, by Wendy, tells Roman he and Sami are good friends and it's fine that they can't date, and he tells him that after college he's thinking of joining the police force.

Sami and Roman decide to go to a Marx brothers film, something he and Marlena used to always do at the annual festival. Alan turns up there in costume and Sami sees him but then he disappears. Sami goes out to find Alan

Carrie and Austin can't bear to be away from each other during the day.

Austin asks Kate to let Billie become part of Countess Wilhemina. She says she'll think about it after the IVF. Lucas hears Austin tell Carrie about it and says "no way".

Austin and Carrie babysit Belle and Brady and tell each other how much they love each other. Carrie and Austin are still babysitting and coming to terms with their new relationship and how it feels "playing house". Austin hints he'd like to do more than just "play" house.

Austin says to Billie that if she wants to start a new company he bets Kate would invest. She tells him where to go.

Kate refuses to give Billie a job because of promising Countess Willhemena to Lucas. They argue and Lucas comes in and calls Billie a tramp and tells her to leave.

Austin and Carrie do a photo session of themselves at Titan and Carrie goes to take them to get processed and Lucas comes in and is his usual revolting self to Austin.

Sami has organized a romantic evening with Alan at her place because Roman is going out of town for a police conference.

Roman has to stay in Salem to finish the work on the drug bust. He and Bo go to his place to get a CD player from Sami for Bo's romantic night on the boat with Billie and Allan runs out the back door. Jamie arrives and Sami pretends it was them having dinner.

Jamie spills the beans about her father abusing her to Bo and Sami. Sami tells her she will stick by her because they're friends and she loves her. She tells Alan (who was planning to rape her while they were out that night) that she realizes how selfish she's been thinking her life was so bad when really it's been a piece of cake compared to what Jamie's been going through.

In keeping with their agreement, Kate sells Tony 49% of Countess Wilhemina - Lucas is not happy!

Carrie visits Kate to turn in her resignation from Countess Wilhemina, as Kate hasn't offered Billy a position at the company. Lucas tries to dissuade her not to quit. Carrie is adamant. Lucas is not pleased, especially when he sees Carrie and Austin hugging at he mall.

Sami and Alan are studying at his place. Alan gives Sami a few glances and seems a bit weird, but Sami doesn't seem to notice. He's planning to rape her but she has to go. He goes out to look for someone else. Later we see Alan stalking a woman.

Carrie and Sami have dinner with Roman, who informs them he's moving the date for the divorce forward.

Alan attempts to rape Wendy outside the Cheatin' Heart, but Wendy fights back and escapes.

Austin and Carrie discuss her unemployment. Lucas arrives with an offer of her job back with more incentives. Austin finds a job for her on Jennifer's show, which she accepts.

Austin shows Carrie around the TV studio, were she will be working as a production assistant. She is given mostly 'gopher' jobs to do. Jennifer telephones Austin and tells him that Bo will be proposing to Billie and are to organise a party when they all get back from New Orleans. Roman, Jonah and Wendy discuss her attack and Wendy tells how she bit the attacker on his arm.

Sami is making dinner at Alan's, where later he rapes her. Alan tries to convince her that she is to blame for it, because that she wanted it.

Alan is saying to Sami that he didn't rape her and if she tells anyone they will not believe her. Sami leaves at last in a hurry in tears.

Sami is having a vision of Alan and calls later anonymously the rape hotline to talk about being date raped by Allan.

Bill Is Lucas' Father

Victor goes to see Lucas in jail and asks him for the truth. Lucas says he killed Curtis and wants Kate to have happiness with Victor. Victor says she'll have no happiness without Lucas.

Laura and Jen go through Laura's old things and Laura grieves for the time she has lost and identity she has lost. They do her make-up and Laura feels shocked at her age looking in the mirror. Laura asks to see photos of Jack but Jen says she's put them all away so the viewers won't get confused when the actor who will replace Matthew Ashford later this year starts. Then they talk about Peter and Jen's feelings for him. Alice rings with a surprise. Jen tries to phone Bill again but can't get through. Jen brings her a photo of Bill and says how noble he is. When she goes Laura says "Hardly" and tears up the photo.

Maggie does a thank you speech to Alice. Alice does a speech of how her faith is confirmed by Bill being back, and Jen finishes it saying how perfect it is Bill and Laura being there together. Strange how no-one but us and Vivian have noticed Laura doesn't look so thrilled. Vivian tries to get out of Laura why she's so angry at Bill but Laura won't tell her. Laura goes to see Kate.

Laura and Bill dance while Alice and Jen watch happily. Alice notices Laura looks tense but Jen thinks she's just overwhelmed. Bill tells Laura how natural it feels. He says he remembers they had problems before, but that he waited years for her to come back and he knew that they'd be together sometime. She says she has to sit down.

Jen tells Bill about the court case and Laura telling everyone about Kate. Bill can't believe it's THE Kate. Bill realizes all the details about Kate that Laura must know, which he never realised she knew. He and Jen talk about Jack and Bill tells her not to close her heart against love.

At Kate's place Laura confronts Kate with all the gory details - that Kate slept with Bill and had Lucas by him. Kate says Lucas doesn't know about Bill being his father and that she never wanted Laura to know. Laura tells Kate she'll make her pay. Kate says if she reveals the details of Bill's past it'll hurt Jen so Laura agrees to keep quiet. But she says she'll see Kate pay when Lucas goes to jail for life, and she'll make sure Bill pays too. Laura goes home and makes a snide comment about how Bill always does what he wants. Bill says we need to talk, Laura says not tonight I'm tired. She goes to bed but not before he kisses her goodnight and she looks MOST uncomfortable.

ivian is annoyed that Laura isn't going to spill Kate's secrets. Bill wants to pick up where they left off - Laura asks "Back to what I had or back to what you had?" She confronts him about Kate, that while she was in a fragile emotional state, needing him, he was off having an affair. He apologises (hmmm, not sure how far that's going to get him). She yells at him for losing 18 years and for the fact that the doctors had said she was recovering and that if he'd come to visit her he'd have worked out she was being drugged. He asks for a chance to make her happy in the future. She says they must put their differences aside for the sake of the family and that she doesn't want him to have anything to do with Kate or Lucas. He says fine, he has no interest in Kate but what does Lucas matter? Laura says "Because he's your son".

Lucas tells Kate that he promised himself that once he was free he'd find his father. Kate says she promised she'd never tell and he's done fine without him for 18 years. She begs him to leave it alone. He says o.k. but we know Lucas better than that. Victor and Kate toast to their future and their future child.

Laura begs Bill not to reveal that he's Lucas's father because Jen is so happy to have her family back together. He says he won't but he tells Jen he's worried Laura still isn't 100% well. She gets mad at him saying Laura's fine.

Victor is going off on business and Kate's worried he's going off her. Vivian goes through her office to find incriminating evidence against Kate but Kate interrupts her and they have a bitchy conversation about destroying each other.

Lucas wants to know who his father is but Kate tells him to leave it alone. He goes off to look through her files (of course her assistant just lets him go through them all) and finds a letter with the address of Copper Lantern Drive on it (Jen's address). He speeds off to her place where she, Laura and Bill are. He leaves a pen in the file room so the assistant brings it back, telling Kate what happened.

Lucas asks Bill about the house and who lived in it and tells him he's looking for his dad. Bill doesn't tell Lucas he's his dad. Kate arrives and hauls Lucas off and Laura warns them not to tell him or she'll tell everyone what they did to her.

Kate goes off to the infertility clinic and Marlena tries to reach her through the day to tell her what's gone down in the courtroom but she can't get hold of her.

Kate and Victor go to a fertility specialist. She's told the tests show she can't conceive the usual way as her fallopian tubes have been scarred from Lucas' birth but that they can try IVF. They're happy about this. She goes off to talk to Mr Caldwell to find out whether she and Victor are legally married. Vivian is hanging around posing as a french woman to try to eavesdrop. All she finds out is that the lawyer keeps tapes of each session so she plans to steal the one of Kate's session. Kate wasn't legally divorced as Curtis never sent the divorce papers in and that's what they were arguing about the night of the murder.

Bill admits to Alice about the affair (not who it was with though). Laura gets upset at the dinner the Hortons remembering Kate and Bill together and leaves. Bill and Alice worry about her mental stability. Jenn and Peter begin to make love but are interrupted by Laura who gets mad at Jenn, forgetting how old she is, then apologises and admits to Jenn that her and Bill haven't been sleeping together but Jenn says she believes in their love and in true love because of them, and that with time they'll find each other again.

Kate leaves the jail upset and has a car accident, nearly hitting Bill who's on his way home. They talk, remembering their past together, and about Lucas. Kate says there's enough going on for Lucas and that maybe sometime in the future they can tell him he's Bill's son, but not now. She says she hopes he works things out with Laura, he says he hopes everything keeps going well with Victor. They kiss goodbye and leave.

Laura and Bill nearly make up but then she sees lipstick on his handkerchief from when Kate kissed him goodbye when they nearly crashed and she wiped the lipstick from his cheek.

Lucas goes to see Bill to ask him if he knew who his mother might have been seeing when she lived in Salem (he saw Bill's name down as his Mum's doctor after Curtis had beaten her once). Bill says he doesn't know, Lucas leaves and Bill says he can't do this anymore and runs after him.

Bill tells Laura he can't not tell Lucas he's his father. He says he truly loves her and he doesn't see why they can't all be happy. She decides to believe him. He asks her to go with him to the party that's being thrown to thank Kate and Victor for a large donation to the hospital. She says no but changes her mind after he leaves. At the party Lucas is still asking Kate to tell him who his dad is but she tells him this isn't the time to talk about it. Kate talks to Bill on the balcony asking him not to tell Lucas the truth yet. They get locked on the balcony and while Bill comforts Kate Laura arrives. Vivian steers her to the balcony where she sees Bill and Kate and tells her Bill will never be truthful and that she should spill the beans on him tonight.

At the party Laura reveals publicly about Bill and Kate's affair and that he's Lucas's father. Fisher Andrews tops it up with the tape of Kate telling David Caldwell that Curtis hadn't divorced her so her marriage to Victor isn't legal. Everyone's angry at Bill, Mickey remembering when Bill took Laura from him, Jenn angry at him, Lucas won't speak to him. Victor tells Kate he's not coming home tonight and leaves while Vivian gloats.

Lucas yells at Kate for her and Bill not having told him the truth. Marlena tries to convince her to fight to keep her marriage but Kate says it's up to Victor now. Jenn yells at Bill for what he did, saying she always thought he was so perfect and thought of her family that way and it was all a lie. Victor tells Kate they need to sort the mess out and then he'll decide about their relationship. Lucas yells at Bill and Kate. Jenn yells at Bill.

Gabe Appears To John - Warns Him About His Life Changing

(First Hint Of Possession Storyline)

John goes to the park and sits on a park bench and disturbs a man sleeping there who says his name is Gabriel, or Gabe. They talk and John tells him how his life derailed and there are things about himself he doesn't know. Gabe wonders if he could help and maybe their meeting wasn't accidental. John says he senses his life's about to change. Gabe says he's right, and there may be trouble but not to worry, John, he won't be alone.

Sami tells Marlena she'll legally divorce her if she tries to interfere in her life. Marlena tells her therapist how worried about her she is. The therapist tells her of a young man who student services referred to him (Alan) and that this guy, who wouldn't give his name is obsessed with a girl (Carrie) and he's worried about what this guy could do. He asks Marlena is she'll see this young man.

Austin goes to see Kate and she asks him lots of questions about his life. She offers him a weekly column to write for Bella about his and Jenn's show. He's excited but worried that Billie will feel rejected by him. He tells Kate if she really wants to reach out to Billie, give her Countess Willhemina back. She says it's undergone too many changes since she took it over and it would be too much for Billie to manage. He says he feels he can't do it to Billie to join Kate's company because it would upset her too much. Lucas is mad that she made the offer at all and tells her there's not room for both him and Austin in the company.

Austin and Carrie plan their trip to the snow.

Sami gets ready for the frat party that night with Alan. Alan bumps into the therapist (in Salem square where all professional meetings are conducted) who says there's another psychiatrist he wants Alan to see. He goes off to get Marlena but when Alan sees who he's going to get he takes off.

David Caldwell rings to make another appointment time with Kate because the tape of their last session seems to be blank. She goes ballistic that he taped the session and fires him.

Ivan tells Vivian that he listened to the rest of the tape which she didn't bother to listen to because she thought she'd heard all the juicy stuff. He tells her it reveals all of Kate's secrets. Vivian gives the tape of Kate talking to David Caldwell to Fisher Andrews, a reporter for "The Intruder". Bill tells Laura he can't not tell Lucas he's his father. He says he truly loves her and he doesn't see why they can't all be happy. She decides to believe him.

At the party to celebrate Billie's freedom, Laura reveals publicly about Bill and Kate's affair and that he's Lucas's father. Fisher Andrews tops it up with the tape of Kate telling David Caldwell that Curtis hadn't divorced her so her marriage to Victor isn't legal. Everyone's angry at Bill, Mickey remembering when Bill took Laura from him, Jenn angry at him, Lucas won't speak to him. Victor tells Kate he's not coming home tonight and leaves while Vivian gloats. Lucas yells at Kate for her and Bill not having told him the truth. Marlena tries to convince Kate to fight to keep her marriage but Kate says it's up to Victor now. Jenn yells at Bill for what he did, saying she always thought he was so perfect and thought of her family that way and it was all a lie. He packs his bag and leaves. Vivian is happy with the newspaper clippings on Kate. She asks Victor out for dinner. Victor tells Kate they need to sort the mess out and then he'll decide about their relationship. Bill leaves Salem

Lucas bangs into Austin's car and it won't start which means he can't drive to the mountains for his and Carrie's night there. Alan offers to help fix it.

Alan goes the the lodge to rape Carrie but Austin manages to hitch a ride and get there so Alan decides it'll have to be Sami instead and goes back to the party where she is semi-conscious.

Carrie and Austin share champagne and make love at Green Mountain Lodge for the first time.

Marlena worries about Carrie and Sami in light of the rapist out there. There is a report of a woman's scream from the frat party so Roman and Abe (the two most senior police at the station) go to check it out. It's nothing but will he see Sami there?

Carrie and Austin have made love and are very happy, though concerned about the rapist after Sami rings to say hi and tells Carrie about it.

Jamie's father comes to Billie's lunch and as they leave Jamie turns and looks at Billie and Billie realises that Jamie is being abused by her father.

Billie worries that Jamie is being abused by her father and Bo says he'll quietly look into whether any domestic violence complaints have ever been made by the Caldwells.

Carrie and Austin can't bear to be away from each other during the day. Austin asks Kate to let Billie become part of the company. She says she'll think about it after the IVF. Lucas hears Austin tell Carrie about it and says "no way". He asks Kate about it and Kate flippantly says not to worry, as far as she's concerned the company is his. He goes off very smug.

Bo can't find anything on David Caldwell but Billie remains convinced Jamie is being abused. Billie asks about the necklace David Caldwell bought for Jamie because he said she "deserved" it. She asks Jamie if her Mum thinks she deserved it to, sending a clear message to Jamie that she knows what's going on. Billie goes to apologise to David Caldwell, not knowing Jamie is hiding under the desk in his office. He tells Billie he should sue her and to get out and after she goes he moves to touch Jamie and she says "No!".

Austin and Carrie babysit Belle and Brady and tell each other how much they love each other. They come to terms with their new relationship and how it feels "playing house". Austin hints he'd like to do more than just "play" house. Roman goes to see Marlena but when he gets there Carrie tells him she went to New Orleans.

Austin says to Billie that if she wants to start a new company he bets Kate would invest. She tells him where to go. Kate likes Lucas's proposal for Countess Willhemena and says one day the company will be his. He asks her to promise Billie will never work there (after Billie tries to rearrange his display at the mall so it'll look better and sell better) and Kate promises. Billie then bites the bullet and decides to ask Kate for a job so she can achieve her dream from the ground up. Kate is trying to relax for her IVF appointment and knows seeing Billie will stress her so she tells Billie to leave and when Billie keeps trying to talk to her she tells her to get out!

Kate refuses to give Billie a job because of promising Countess Wilhelmina to Lucas. They argue and Lucas comes in and calls Billie a tramp and tells her to leave.

Austin and Carrie do a photo session of themselves at Titan and Carrie goes to take them to get processed and Lucas comes in and is his usual revolting self to Austin.

Billie runs into Jamie at the mall and apologizes for accusing her dad of molesting her last night (if that was last night then this 24 hour period has lasted a week). Jamie says it's o.k. and she's sure her dad will forgive her. Jamie goes and tells her dad and he begins to molest her. Meanwhile Billie decides to see if David Caldwell might still want to back her in a new company and goes over to see him. Billie springs on them as David Caldwell is about to molest Jamie. Jamie runs out and runs into Bo and nearly tells him but doesn't. David Caldwell grabs Billie and says he's going to make sure she doesn't tell anyone.

Maison Blanche/Philip's Conception

Tony and Kristen decide to get away and to visit some of the houses they inherited. She decides to start with Maison Blanche.

Kate decides to undergo Invitro Fertilization in order to give Victor a son. Kate's IVF file is moved to Salem so she can do it all there.

Roman and Marlena meet with their lawyers to split their possessions up. They share happy memories about things they bought together. Mickey tells them they don't really need divorce lawyers they need a marriage counsellor but Roman is determined to go ahead with the divorce.

John asks Marlena to hypnotise him to see if can remember details of where Stefano is hiding. Jenn has tea with Kristen, Tony and Peter are there and they arrange to leave Jenn and Peter alone but she tells him she can't see him anymore. Kristen asks her to think carefully about this as she's never seen Peter care for anyone like this before. Kristen prepares to go away to get away from all the stress. Peter and Tony don't realise she's heading for Maison Blanche.

Marlena sees Kate and Victor at the hospital where the doctor has told them he'll only try the IVF once. She warns Kate if she's so stressed it may not work.

Vivian gives the tape of Kate talking to David Caldwell to Fisher Andrews, a reporter for "The Intruder". Bill tells Laura he can't not tell Lucas he's his father. He says he truly loves her and he doesn't see why they can't all be happy. She decides to believe him. He asks her to go with him to the party that's being thrown to thank Kate and Victor for a large donation to the hospital. She says no but changes her mind after he leaves. At the party Lucas is still asking Kate to tell him who his dad is but she tells him this isn't the time to talk about it. Kate talks to Bill on the balcony asking him not to tell Lucas the truth yet. They get locked on the balcony and while Bill comforts Kate Laura arrives. Vivian steers her to the balcony where she sees Bill and Kate and tells her Bill will never be truthful and that she should spill the beans on him tonight.

Marlena hypnotises John but he gets upset and she brings him out of it. She suggests a glass of wine to relax him. While he's getting wine Roman arrives to give her a photo he found of her and Belle which he didn't want to get smashed in the boxes. John and Marlena tell him they're trying to find out where Stefano's hiding by hypnotising John. John tells him Stefano rang him the other day and Roman finally believes he's alive so he stays for the hypnosis. John starts remembering a light in a window of a house (Maison Blanche).

At Maison Blanche Stefano sitting in a chair behind his desk facing the wall rather than the desk. He's gloating that soon it'll be just the two of them, him and John, when Kristen walks into the room calling out "Hello, is anybody there?"

Under hypnosis John remembers details of Maison Blanche. Roman thinks he's been there while captive and remembers a nearby sign that said "Tolley Imports/Exports". John tracks the name down to New Orleans and says he's going down there to beat Stefano at his game by turning up early.

At Maison Blanche Kristen is in the room where Stefano is sitting when the housekeeper, Celeste walks in. She switches the light off so Stefano can get out. Celeste tries to discourage Kristen from staying there, but Kristen is determined and Stefano tells Celeste he wants Kristen to stay because he's missed her so much. He says there are plenty of hidden passages for him to hide. He watches Kristen from one.

Kristen tells Tony on the 'phone how she wishes Billie could get her company back. John tells Victor he's going to find Stefano and Victor tells him to be careful, that their friendship means a lot to him. Celeste drugs Kristen so Stefano can sneak out of Maison Blanche. She is urging him to rush because of John but he says it'll be ages before John gets to there. As he speaks John arrives and starts going through the house, finding the jigsaw puzzle. With a gun he goes through the house and into Kristen's room.

Victor goes out with Vivian to the Penthouse Grille. Kate is there getting drunk. Tony asks her if he can buy Countess Willhemena and tells her if her luck changes tonight it'll be because of him so to think about selling the company to him. Billie and Bo go there for dinner too and Kate tries to talk to Billie but Billie says now she knows why Kate hated her so much, she is exactly like the names she called Billie. Then Vivian gloats to her about Victor so Kate pulls her wig off. Tony tells Victor the wounds will heal and doesn't he want a future and a son with Kate. Victor goes to Kate and tells her they'll talk properly tomorrow. Tony sends a bottle of wine anonymously to Bo and Billie and Billie says she feels like someone is watching over her.

Marlena worries about John and Abe makes Roman admit that he is too and wonders why John didn't contact the local police when he arrived in New Orleans.

John finds Kristen drugged and wants to get her to a doctor but he remembers the voice of the woman calling him Johnny and asking for help and he runs around looking for her. He finds the diary Stefano left behind detailing his life. When he goes back to the room to get Kristen Stefano is there waiting for him with a gun.

Victor tells Kate he still hasn't made a decision about their marriage but he'll make it by tonight. Kate goes to Caroline to ask her to speak to Victor on her behalf. Caroline says no but then changes her mind and goes to see Victor. Vivian is there having wangled a dinner with him, though he refused the suggestion of a cruise around the Greek islands.

John wakes up locked in a dungeon. Stefano tells him over a television screen that he's going to train him to be his pawn again. Kristen wakes up and can't believe she's been asleep for 24 hours. Then she finds blood in her room. Celeste pretends she cut herself. Stefano tells Celeste to get her to go back to Salem. Celeste tells Kristen to stay in her room and rest and Kristen wonders why it's so important to Celeste that she doesn't come out of her room. Marlena asks Tony if Stefano is still alive and he says no. Marlena worries about John. And about Laura's fragility. Tony tells Kate to be patient and wait for Victor to come back to her. Vivian prepares for Victor coming to dinner and thinks she can still get him to go away with her to the Greek islands and that he'll propose while they're away. She makes sure Caroline overhears her telling Ivan to prepare for their dinner together. Caroline talks to Victor about how Shawn forgave her and managed to trust her again. She asks him to think of who would really make him happy. He thanks her and tells her she's just helped him make a decision.

Stefano lets John see Kristen in her room on the t.v. She's getting more and more suspicious about why Celeste wants her to stay in her room. Tony and Peter work out that Kristen is at Maison Blanche where Stefano is. He tells them there are secrets in the house which Kristen must never find out.

Stefano gets Tony to come to Maison Blanche to try to get Kristen to go back to Salem. She finds many photos of her past and asks Celeste for the keys to the whole house. Celeste is making excuses for why she can't have them when Tony arrives. Kristen tells Tony she thinks Celeste drugged her.

In the dungeon John finds his name etched into the wall and realises this was where Stefano brainwashed and tortured him. Stefano puts the t.v. screen on which shows Kristen's room and John sees Kristen and Tony making love.

Victor decides to give it a go with Kate but won't marry her until she conceives (then tells her at her appointment that she can't get too stressed or she won't conceive). He breaks the news to Vivian so she starts scheming about what's going on with the IVF.

Victor and Kate have a nice time in bed but she still senses his distance and gives him back her wedding ring. He tells her to keep the engagement ring on and that he just needs to get some trust back in her, not to mention a son from her. Vivian works out that they're doing IVF and starts plotting how she can use this. Victor tells her to move on and find someone else. Vivian gets upset when she gets a letter from Nicky saying he can't come for the visit he'd planned and she feels very alone. After he leaves she tells Ivan there's no way Kate will have Victor's baby.

The doctor tells Kate her blood pressure is too high to induce ovulation today so Victor takes her to the Penthouse Grille for dinner to try to help her relax.

Bo has spoken to David Caldwell about helping Billie start another company but she's more concerned about Jamie. She tells Jamie she knows what she's going through and can help her but Jamie denies her father's abusing her. She gets upset and her parents and Bo come out and Billie accuses him of abusing Jamie and he and Jamie's mother call Billie lots of yucky names and leave. Bo tells Billie that if she doesn't apologise to David Caldwell he doesn't know if he'll be able to forgive her.

Marlena and Roman have dinner together and Roman keeps making sure the conversation stays on the kids. She tells him she's worried about John but Roman is sure Stefano won't let John find him. Roman drops her home and tells her they can't get what they had in the past back. Meanwhile John is still in the dungeon trying to dig his way out when Stefano isn't looking at him on camera. Stefano tells him to take a last look at Kristen because she and Tony are leaving tonight. Kristen actually doesn't want to leave. Tony tells her how he might have got Countess Whillhemena from Kate and Kristen just loves him to pieces!! Then John manages to get out of the dungeon. When Marlena gets home the 'phone rings and John's voice is on the 'phone telling her to get to Maison Blanche as soon as possible. The voice on the 'phone is a tape recording Stefano has put together. He tells Marlena he's sending the private jet to get her so off she goes in the jet Kristen and Tony were supposed to come back to Salem on so Tony is angry at Stefano and Peter, but Peter doesn't know what's going on in this case.

John finds Celeste and ties her to a chair. He finds a map of the island and works out where Stefano is hiding and goes off there, encountering barking mean looking dogs on the way. Meanwhile Stefano 'phones Marlena on the 'plane, using the tape again which has John's voice saying he'll send a car for her when she lands, and letting her hear dogs barking.

John runs around the plantation away from the dog trying to find Stefano. When he finds him he tells him he's going to take him back to Salem to prove to Kristen that he's alive and that everything he ever told her is a lie. Marlena arrives in New Orleans and Celeste goes to pick her up. Marlena is very suspicious of her but agrees to go with her when Celeste tells her John is hurt. She says she just wants to call her family and Celeste's hand moves toward her do stop her somehow. Kristen and Tony leave the island but she's still sure there are secrets there she was meant to discover.

Bo convinces Roman to go see Marlena but when he gets there Carrie tells him she went to New Orleans and of course Roman thinks she's gone there to have fun with John. Celeste puts a handkerchief with chloroform or something like that on it and puts Marlena to sleep. John holds the gun on Stefano and ties him up but then Stefano tells him to look at the t.v. screen and there's Marlena drugged and tied up and Stefano says if John doesn't untie him, Marlena dies so he unties him and Stefano says "Checkmate John!".

Vivian arranges to have an IVF appointment alongside Kate's so she can destroy whatever it is Kate will have done in her appointment but the doctor then rings Kate to change the time. Vivian runs into Victor at the mall and he apologises again for hurting her and hopes she'll meet a man and she smile and says she's sure she will!

Kate goes for her IVF appointment and Vivian walks in.

Stefano visits Marlena in her locked room. She too refuses to eat so he tells her and John they are all going to have a formal evening dinner together and makes them put on evening clothes. John and Marlena hug each other and start to piece their stories together but Stefano says to wait, that everything will be revealed this evening. Meanwhile Marlena hears a noise upstairs and we find out that Stefano has a woman stashed upstairs who has been hiding for a long time. We see her from the back. At the pub Roman hugs Belle and is still convinced Marlena loves John.

Kate is told that ovulation can be induced tonight. She tells Vivian she knows she's up to something but she won't ever get Victor because he's hers. Vivian's still going through the charade with the doctor that she is going to do IVF with Ivan, so that she can later break into the office and muck up Kate's test tubes.

Thanks to the Way Back Machine I am able to bring you Carrie & Austin's story starting from where we last left off in the original time line, March 1994. I will re-post the 1997 blog we just had up when we come to it in the original time line.

This month is a crucial month in the lives of the Brady's as Roman tells Marlena he wants a divorce; the Curtis Reed Murder continues; Kate is well on the way to telling Lucas that Bill is his father; and The Possession storyline begins with John first meeting Gabe The Angel (John doesn't know Gabe is an angel until the end.)

MARCH 7 - APRIL 1, 1994

Roman Tells Marlena He's Filing For Divorce.
Curtis Reed Trial Ends.
John First Meets Gabe The Angel

Roman tells Caroline he never wants to see Marlena again. Marlena tells Alan to leave and tells Sami she can't see him as he's too old. Sami orders her to get out but Marlena stands firm! Then Roman arrives and tells Marlena to leave while Sami looks smug (being the perfect individual she is how can we really expect her to tolerate being in the presence of imperfection?). Marlena refuses to leave. Roman agrees with Marlena that Sami can't see Alan as he's too old and Sami asks Marlena why she has to ruin everything. She rings Alan to tell him she can still see him but he says he doesn't want the hassle.

In the courthouse Lucas tells everyone that he killed Curtis, describing what he did and getting Bo and Carrie to corroborate what he's saying about the speeding ticket and the fact that he was looking for Curtis that night. Bo arrests Lucas.

The judge calls a mistrial, which Mickey explains isn't as good as a dismissal because with a mistrial you can be tried for the crime again. Essentially though Billie is free. On her way out Kate screams at Billie "This is all fault you little tramp!".

Everyone goes back to Carrie and Billie's for a surprise birthday party and a congratulations to Billie party. Bo can't understand why Billie isn't happier to be free. Alan starts talking to Carrie about the attack, saying it's obvious now it must have been Lucas. Carrie gets upset and freaks out when the lights go off for her birthday candles to be blown out. She tells Austin that the only way she's going to get over it is by going back and having their special weekend. Obviously Alan overhears their plans.

John turns up at Marlena's to see Belle. She's upset because Roman hates her and Sami despises her. Roman goes to wish happy birthday to Carrie and tells Sami to stop going on about Marlena, that they have to put the past behind them. She tries to get Alan back and they dance.

Abe and Roman question Lucas. Lucas tells his story of what happened the night of Curtis's death. They suggest they don't believe him and Lucas can't believe that after the weeks of being hassled by Bo, now they won't believe him. Victor won't let him sign a confession but Lucas says he'll sign it.

Everyone heads to Alice's party, but no-one knows why she's throwing it. Billie nearly doesn't go because she's worried that if Lucas retracts his statement she'll be back on trial, but Roman brings round the signed confession and says she's off the hook!

Kate doesn't go to the party because she's so upset about Lucas she had to be sedated. Marlena and John turn up at the same time so of course it looks like they arrived together which upsets Roman, Sami and Carrie.

Alice tells everyone the party is a celebration of faith to help lift everyone's spirits. The speech makes Carrie decide she definitely wants to go back to the ski lodge to have her weekend with Austin. Sami's mad at Carrie for telling Marlena about Alan and tells Carrie to stay out of her life. Carrie worries about what trouble Sami could get into.

Billie wants to leave the party because reporters keep showing up to take photos of her and Bo together. Billie waits for Bo to go and get his motorcycle and sees Curtis standing them - well, it's more flashes of Curtis not really him standing there in the flesh.

Laura thanks Austin for donating bone marrow to Abbie and he thanks her for helping get Billie off the hook. He asks her if she remembers what gender kids Kate had but she can't remember.

Roman makes a speech about Mom and Pop and loving couples trusting each other and lots of other things that make Marlena feel even more guilty and sad. Then Alice proposes a toast to Tony and Kristen's new marriage. Marlena wonders if Roman is thinking of them and goes to talk to him but he walks off and she goes off crying. She goes to talk to Sami to ask her to put her bitterness aside but Sami remains solid in her self-righteous self. She arranges to meet Alan after the party and makes Jamie say she'll be staying at her place.

The hallucination of Curtis tells Billie just because Lucas signed the confession it's not over yet. He tells her the answer to the murder is in Billie's head. She screams, he disappears, Bo comes and takes her back to the boat and he reminds her the murder charges are behind her. She can't remember how they got to the boat. He says she asked him to take her home and he instinctively brought her back to the boat. He gives her a necklace with her birthstone and that if she's afraid to touch it and she'll know he's there for her. Billie and Bo start to make love but things he says remind her of Curtis. She stops but then they keep going but then she thinks of Curtis again and screams "no".

Marlena persuades Roman they need to work together to help Sami. He agrees and says he'll think about what to do and walks off. Bill and Laura reunite and in her head she blames him for her catatonia - she blames him and Kate.

Carrie worries about Sami heading for trouble. Sami's out with Alan and says to Jamie on the 'phone she will prove she can look after herself. She suggests to Alan they go somewhere a little quieter. Then she kisses him. Alan says he thinks they should take it slow and that he feels protective over her because he knows how much Carrie worries about her. Sami wonders how their conversations always come back round to Carrie and tells him she thinks he's more interested in Carrie than in her. Alan says they're just friends. He says to Sami there could be an 'us' and kisses her. He invites her back to his place and while she's getting her coat he says "Maybe I can't have you, Carrie, but I can have your sister". Back at the party Carrie shivers.

Laura and Bill dance while Alice and Jen watch happily. Alice notices Laura looks tense but Jen thinks she's just overwhelmed. Bill tells Laura how natural it feels. He says he remembers they had problems before, but that he waited years for her to come back and he knew that they'd be together sometime. She says she has to sit down.

Roman tells Marlena he 'phoned Jamie and Sami's fine and studying. He says maybe they could put into an agreement the finances and things with the kids. He tells her he's filing for divorce.

Laura goes to see Kate. Marlena waits in the rain for someone to come and fix her car. No-one comes then Roman arrives and says 'get in'. He leaves then comes back with her purse. Roman takes Marlena home from the party. He comes in and tells her he won't cite adultery as the reason for the divorce because of the publicity, that he'll cite irreconcilable differences. She's in her nightie and rushes off as Belle is crying. Roman comes in. Marlena dumps Belle in his arms while she goes off to get a bottle. She says Roman can still be a part of Belle's life just like she has been a part of Carrie's life. The 'phone goes and John leaves a message saying he'll be right over. So Roman leaves saying he's an intruder, it's John who has the right to be at Marlena's in the middle of the night, not him. When John arrives Marlena's in tears. She tells him what happened and he feels bad. He says he came over to talk about a lead on Stefano but they can do it another time. He leaves.

Billie can't make love to Bo because of the memories of Curtis. She feels she's remembering more of the night of the murder that's important to the case. She knows that Lucas' confession isn't for real. She says she can't let it go till she knows what it is. Bo says he still has questions about the night of the murder, like why she went to a drug dealer for heroin, but that he trusts what she's told him and is willing to let it go, so why can't she? She says she can't stay the night, she doesn't feel good and better go home.

Jen tells Bill about the court case and Laura telling everyone about Kate. Bill can't believe it's THE Kate. Bill realises all the details about Kate that Laura must know, which he never realized she knew. He and Jen talk about Jack and Bill tells her not to close her heart against love.

Vivian is annoyed that Laura isn't going to spill Kate's secrets. Bill wants to pick up where they left off - Laura asks "Back to what I had or back to what you had?" She confronts him about Kate. He asks for a chance to make her happy in the future. She says they must put their differences aside for the sake of the family and that she doesn't want him to have anything to do with Kate or Lucas. He says fine, he has no interest in Kate but what does Lucas matter? Laura says "Because he's your son".

Billie is still sure Lucas didn't kill Curtis. Bo goes to see him but he won't retract, and Kate can't make him either. On the stand he swears to having killed Curtis. The judge starts to sentence him when Billie begins to remember what happened that night. She goes on the stand. She tells how she was drugged by Curtis and when she came to he was arguing with Kate about something she was supposed to take care of. Then Kate left and Curtis was still alive and was saying he'd kill Kate if he didn't get what he wanted from her. Then Lucas was there and looking for Curtis saying he'd making him pay but Curtis was hiding so Lucas left saying he'd come back the next day with the cops. Then Curtis came out and was saying how he'd make Lucas pay. Then she blacked out and came to in the alley and saw Kate all bruised and pulling a gun out of her bag and was going toward the basement door. Then Kate saw something and screamed, and Billie saw Curtis lying on the ground dead. Everyone goes ooh ahh and Lucas says oh my goodness Moooom, you didn't kill him - I confessed because I thought you did. Victor wonders what Kate and Curtis were arguing about. The judge dismisses the charges against Lucas and the Kiriakis family leave happy.

Bo kind of wishes Billie hadn't said what she did because it lets Kate and Lucas off the hook and Billie can be tried again. The D.A.'s office decide to put her on trial again.

Lucas tells Kate that he promised himself that once he was free he'd find his father. Kate says she promised she'd never tell and he's done fine without him for 18 years. She begs him to leave it alone. He says o.k. but we know Lucas better than that. Victor and Kate toast to their future and their future child.

Ivan can't get Billie's testimony out of his head and they wonder what Kate reacted at during Billie's testimony.

Bo and Austin are with Billie and Bo admits that he now has another suspects in the murder case.Bo brings Marlena over to Billie's to convince her to do hypnosis to remember the rest of the night Curtis died but she says NO WAY. She doesn't want all the rest of her secrets coming out too. Bo's angry she'd throw away their life together like this and goes out to get some air. Billie goes to Bo and he's sad he couldn't save her. They hug and look at the stars. He says how in the Southern hemisphere they have different stars. She says she can't stand the thought of a future without him and decides to take a chance and have hypnosis.

Alan says Sami will have to get a fake I.D. so he can take her to frat parties. Carrie sees them together in the park and goes bananas because Roman has forbidden them to see each other. Alan says they're only talking and Sami runs off to see Jamie. Alan says to Carrie they should talk about the situation with Sami and they go off to have hot chocolate together. Jamie reluctantly says she'll help her get a fake I.D. Alan asks how serious things are between Carrie and Austin. She tells him how they're going to go back to the mountains to face her fears. She has a flash of memory of the night of the attack, but Austin turns up. Alan goes but keeps watching her and Austin.

Multi-skilled lawyer Mickey organizes Roman and Marlena's divorce in his spare time from the murder trial. Roman's angry Marlena hasn't organized a lawyer yet and goes to confront her. She starts crying and says she doesn't want the divorce. He calms down a bit. He says he's sorry he made her cry, but they've got to resolve this once and for all. She calls an attorney. He leaves with many sorrowful looks.

Laura begs Bill not to reveal that he's Lucas's father because Jen is so happy to have her family back together. He says he won't.

Lucas wants to know who his father is but Kate tells him to leave it alone. He goes off to look through her files of course her assistant just lets him go through them all and finds a letter with the address of Copper Lantern Drive on it (Jen's address). He speeds off to her place where she, Laura and Bill are. He leaves a pen in the file room so the assistant brings it back, telling Kate what happened.

Billie goes under hypnosis on the stand and reveals she had known Curtis for a long time. She won't say any more as she gets too upset so Marlena un-hypnotizes her. Pat Hamilton badgers Billie about how she knew Curtis and Billie snaps and says Curtis was her father.

On the stand Billie gives in and reveals the whole story - that Curtis was her father, that he molested her and that she was in porno movies to keep her drug habit going, drugs being the only escape from pain. Pat Hamilton sees the opportunity to pin a motive on her. Marlena tries to contact Kate, having realised the possible connection between Kate, Billie and Austin but Kate's off running after Lucas.

Pat Hamilton tries to get Billie to remember what happened on the night of the murder. She remembers voices arguing and someone saying Curtis would pay and deserved to die. She remembers someone saying "Checkmate" and a gun going off but she can't remember anyone else being there so she says "It must have been me - I must have murdered him".

Billie awakes in jail. Bo has been told he may not see her as Pat Hamilton feels he's prejudicing the investigations. Billie is sure he doesn't want to see her anyway. In the courtroom prior to sentencing she asks the judge to believe that Bo, Austin and Carrie didn't know she'd murdered Curtis.

Meanwhile Carrie goes to see Marlena to see if she can help Billie. John planted a bug at Kristen's place when he was there yesterday and he overhears Peter call Stefano saying "Things are going on in the courthouse which affect us Stefano". He tape records it and takes it to Roman. Marlena also goes to see Roman and says that saying "Checkmate" isn't language Billie would use and comes up with some neat psychological explanation of how Billie believes she murdered Curtis so has taken on the persona of the murderer and thinks she said "Checkmate". And Bo also arrives to say it must have been Stefano who murdered Curtis because only he would say "Checkmate". John and Bo go off to find Fred Harris to check out the story but Peter gets to Fred first and he's gone by the time John and Bo get there.

Kate goes off to the infertility clinic and Marlena tries to reach her through the day to tell her what's gone down in the courtroom but she can't get hold of her.

Marlena tries a last ditch effort to ask Roman if they one day might get back together. He says everyone keeps going on about forgiveness but that's not what it's about for him. He says that one day he may be able to forgive her and even understand why she did what she did, but he'll never be able to trust her again. He walks out.

Kate and Victor go to a fertility specialist. She's told the tests show she can't conceive the usual way as her fallopian tubes have been scarred from Lucas's birth but that they can try IVF. They're happy about this. She goes off to talk to Mr Caldwell to find out whether she and Victor are legally married. Vivian is hanging around posing as a frenchwoman to try to eavesdrop. All she finds out is that the lawyer keeps tapes of each session so she plans to steal the one of Kate's session. Kate wasn't legally divorced as Curtis never sent the divorce papers in and that's what they were arguing about the night of the murder.

Victor meanwhile goes home and sees the newspaper and realizes about Billie and Austin being her kids. When she comes home he tells her he thinks her kids are alive and he thinks he knows where they are. Victor tells Kate about Billie and Austin. Kate refuses to believe they're her kids, Lucas refuses to believe they're her kids, Billie refuses to believe they're her kids, Austin isn't so sure they're her kids. Everyone else thinks they're her kids.

Jen and Peter make eyes at each other while she continues to look for information about Kate and Curtis's marriage. Jenn finds a document which proves Kate must be Austin's mother.

Marlena says Bo still loves Billie, Mickey says Bo still loves Billie, Austin says Bo still loves Billie, Carrie says Bo still loves Billie. Based on this information Billie is convinced Bo doesn't love her anymore.

She gives it to him and he goes to her place and she opens the door and he says "Mother". Carrie goes to Kate with the pin that Austin gave her which belonged to his mother. She leaves it with her, telling her only to go to Austin and Billie if she's prepared to be a mother to them because they have been hurt enough.

Billie is in jail remembering Curtis abusing her. Marlena goes to see her and suggests her mother might not have intentionally abandoned them but Billie said she needed a mother then, not now.

Kate won't believe Austin until he remembers her singing "Mockingbird" to him. She checks his and Billie's birthdates and realizes they are her kids. She and Austin hug and cry. He asks her to go and see Billie but she doesn't think it's such a good idea because Billie hates her. Austin tells her Billie needs her and Kate goes to see Billie in jail.

John catches Abe up on where things are at with Stefano. Jenn asks Peter out on a date. Kristen decides to do up their house to look just like an old Southern house which was very famous but mysteriously disappeared through fire or the owner moving it. The house in the picture looks just like the picture she found of Maison Blanche. She tells Jenn but asks her not to tell Peter or Tony because it's going to be a surprise. Billie tells Kate to get out and won't believe she's their mother. Austin convinces her it's true and she says she does actually have something to say to her mother and tells her "I hate your guts". Kate tells her the story of how she looked for them and thought they were dead. Billie tells her that Curtis raped her and tells her it's all her fault. Kate asks Austin to leave and then Billie tells details of the molestation and being fed drugs and dropping out of school because of the humiliation. She tells her "It's your fault - Mother".

Alan tries to get Lucas to plot with him how to break up Austin and Carrie. Carrie comes along and her and Lucas have an argument about whether Austin and Billie are Kate's kids, Lucas still insisting they're just after Kate's money.

Billie won't accept Kate's reasons for thinking they were dead. Austin reminds her she also believed Curtis' lies when he came to town and asks her not to let him win by hating Kate. Billie says he's already won because Bo has left her. For the millionth time Austin tells her Bo is not allowed to see her and is off trying to clear her.

Billie tells Austin she never wants to see Kate again, and that Bo doesn't love her anymore.

Bo saves John after Peter's guard at the warehouse knocks him out. They put together a tape from when Stefano was questioned about Curtis's murder and trick Fred over the 'phone into thinking he's talking to Stefano. Fred says he won't tell about the night of the murder but doesn't give away the details of what happened. The voice tells him he can take off and go where he wants so Fred runs out of the warehouse and John and Bo grab him and take him to the police station.

Lucas refuses to believe Austin and Billie are Kate's kids, he and Austin yell at each other, Kate tries to make them be friends, they yell at each other.

The judge allows Kristen, Jenn, Carrie and Kate to give character references about Billie to the court. He then says he has to uphold the law and not be swayed by emotional testimony.

Bo and John keep working on Fred. Bo finally comes into the courtroom and persuades the judge to let him put Billie on the stand again.

Laura tells Bill everything she remembers, how she followed him to Kate's and saw them making love. He says that it only happened because she'd started to drift away from him and that the night she remembers was the night he broke it off with Kate. She says she confronted Kate the next day and Kate said she was pregnant and after that she lost touch with reality more and more. Bill goes out and Vivian comes in, having heard enough to work out Bill and Kate had an affair, but no more.

Sami shows Alan her fake I.D. Marlena tries to talk to Sami but has no luck. Lucas swears revenge on Austin, with Alan prodding him along.

On the stand Bo presses Billie to remember the night of the murder, reminding her about hearing "Checkmate". Finally she remembers it was Stefano who said it, that he was threatening Curtis because Curtis had been blackmailing Kristen. Stefano told him to get out of town, they struggled and a gun went off, killing Curtis by accident. Bo brings Fred in who corroborates the story while Tony and Kristen listen in horror.

The judge drops all charges against Billie. She is happy but still wondering whether Bo wants her anymore, and in fact what all her friends think of her. Carrie decides to throw a surprise party to reassure her so she gets Austin to take Billie home the long way. On the way out he tells Kate to give Billie some space and some time.

During all of this Sami has been shopping for a dress for her date with Alan while Jamie tells her she's dressing too old for her age. She bumps into Marlena but won't speak to her. At Carrie's Sami is surprised to hear Carrie on the 'phone inviting Alan to the surprise party and Alan obviously accepting, when he's supposed to being going on a date with her. When he gets there he tells her he only said yes so it wouldn't look suspicious.

Vivian seduces Mr Caldwell and takes him out to dinner so Ivan can find the tape of Kate's session with him. She bumps into Kate and Victor at dinner but manages to not let them see who she's there with. Kate asks Victor if he's sure he still loves her and wants to be with her after the embarrassment she's caused and he says yes.

CARRIE'S ATTACK AFTERMATH

2009-07-20T22:00:00.000-05:00

February 7 - March 4, 1994

Carrie's Attack Aftermath
Belle's Paternity Revealed
Billie's Trial Begins
Kate Revealed As Austin & Billie's Mother

The guy in the ski mask attacked Carrie. She put up a fight and started screaming. When Austin returned from the airport, Carrie told him of the attack. Austin believed Lucas to be the attacker when he saw Lucas with a bloody lip. Austin then hit Lucas. Carrie had a flashback to the attack when Austin tried to comfort her. Stefano tells Peter that he will reveal the truth of Belle's paternity very soon. Sami starts to destroy her diary as it is the only way, she believes, that anyone will find out the truth about Belle. Marlena sees her do this. Later Marlena apologizes to Sami for her affair. Roman gets legal separation papers for he and Marlena. This devastates Marlena. Caroline urges Roman to give his marriage and Marlena another chance. He agrees to do so for the childrens' sake. Caroline later tells Marlena that Roman was on his way to see her and that he was considering reconciliation and Marlena becomes filled with hope. Carrie is still upset over her attack. She tells her doctor that she was not raped but the attacker tried to rape her. She makes Austin promise not to tell anyone else about the attack. Sami finishes destroying her diary. Stefano goes to Roman and tells him that John is Belle's father and shows him a copy of Sami's diary. Roman does not believe Stefano's claim that John is Belle's father. Sami denies that Stefano has a copy of her diary. Stefano insists and Roman is forced to believe him and Sami does a bad job of denying it. When Marlena arrives, Sami yells at Marlena and tells her that she hates Marlena and Belle. Marlena asks what prompted that and Roman tells Marlena that he knows Belle is John's daughter. Marlena denies that John is Belle's father but Sami explains how she changed the blood test results. Roman says he has no reason to try and hold on to the marriage. Marlena suggests she, Roman and John can work something out but Roman wants no part in Belle's life. John goes to get Roman and is met by an upset Marlena. Marlena tells John that he is Belle's father. John is happy and tells Marlena he always felt a bond with her. Roman refuses to help John in gathering evidence against Stefano. Roman announces he will move out but Marlena says she and Belle will leave. Marlena goes to the Horton's where Alice, Mickey and Maggie are celebrating Mickey and Maggie's anniversary. Marlena announces that John is Belle's father and that she has moved out. Alice invites her to stay at the Horton Center and they encourage her not to give up hope. Sami comforts Roman, announcing she will look after him.

Carrie refuses to tell the police about her attack. Austin tells Carrie that he believes Lucas was the attacker. Carrie does not believe this. Later it is revealed that Alan was the attacker. Carrie and Austin return to Salem and overhear Sami telling Caroline about Belle's paternity. Carrie goes to see Marlena and yells at Marlena.

Carrie confides in Sami about the attack. Sami tells Roman and Caroline about Carrie's attack. All the Bradys go to Carrie's apartment to offer support. Caroline invites Marlena but is told to leave by Roman. Marlena and John talk about how they will raise Belle and John sees his daughter for the first time since knowing the truth. Marlena goes to her house to collect Belle's things but does so when Roman is there. Later John tells Marlena he has found her a home to live in. Roman discovers that Marlena forgot Belle's favourite mobile and takes it to her and sees John playing with Belle.

Austin and Carrie have breakfast at the pub where the Brady's are still offering support. Marlena arrives and is again told to leave by Roman. Lucas tells Alan of Carrie's attack. Alan rings Carrie but she does not to see him.

Billie's trial starts and bo tells the judge that he believes Kate Kiriakis is also a suspect. Kate is shocked and Billie confronts Kate asking why she is so scared. The judge decides there is not enough evidence to warrant putting Kate on the stand. Pat Hamilton calls Abe to testify.

Austin tells Bo and Billie about Carrie's attack. Alan visits Carrie to see if she will recognise him as the attacker but she doesn't. At Salem place, Jen sees Austin and Carrie and invites them along with her and Peter. They all go to the Cheatin' Heart - a place Jack never took Jen. Lucas sees Sami at Johnny Angel's and tries to cheer her up. They are joined by Alan who tells Sami she looks like Carrie. Sami is impressed by the attention she is getting from Alan.

Kate's maid buys clothes with Kate's money and goes to the Cheatin' Heart. As she is leaving she is spotted by Billie wearing the seashell shoes. Bo and Billie lose Mary in the fog. They return to the Heart where they recruit Peter and Jennifer to help look for the woman. Billie, Jennifer and Peter all go to a Rave party looking for the woman with the shoes. They do not see her and Peter and Jen leave. Once they are gone, Billie sees Mary and grabs her. Peter and Jen return to Jen's place, where he kisses her once more. Billie calls Bo and he and Abe arrive and take Mary to the police station. Mary calls Victor. Victor and Kate go to the station where Mary tells the police that she bought the shoes from a street vendor. Bo and Billie are both disappointed that the shoe lead did not help.

Pat Hamilton calls Alice to the stand. She makes Alice reveal that the dress scrap belonged to Billie's dress. Bo made Mary confess the truth about the shoes and then convinced the judge to call Kate to the stand. Mickey questioned Kate but she insisted that there was never any connection between her and Curtis. While on the stand, the courtroom door opens and Laura walks in. Laura takes of her glasses and announces that she is Laura Horton. Everyone is shocked. Jen and the Hortons are thrilled that she is alive and no longer catatonic. Kate is devastated. Outside they begin to question her on where she had been and Vivian appears. Laura tells everyone that Viv saved her life and Jen is grateful to Viv. Jen wants to take Laura home but she insists on staying to be with the family. The trial resumes and Mickey again asks kate about her connection to Curtis. Kate denies any connection and Laura stands and announces Kate was Curtis's wife.

At Billie's trial Laura reveals that Kate was once married to Curtis. Kate breaks down and admits that they were married and that she hated him and is glad he's dead. Mickey asks whether she saw Curtis on the night of the murder and Kate says yes, admitting that he was blackmailing her, saying he would tell everyone of her past unless she paid him off. Mickey pressed Kate, feeling that she hadn't told the full story of why she hated him so much. Kate finally said she hated him because he stole her babies from her and she never saw them again. Billie and Austin stare at each other, realising that this means that Kate may be their mother. Curtis stole her babies, not because he loved them but because he knew she loved them.

Billie and Austin can't believe their ears. Neither can Jennifer who is the only other person who knows Curtis was their father. The whole courtroom has heard Kate say she's glad Curtis is dead, so Mickey tries to get Billie off the hook. The judge goes away to think about this and comes back and says he will not dismiss Billie and adjourns the court to the next day to give Pat Hamilton time to prepare for this unexpected turn of events. Billie refuses to believe Kate is their mother, while Bo doesn't understand why Billie isn't more excited by Kate looking so guilty. Roman thinks they need to do more digging into Curtis's past before the court comes back into session. Billie tells Austin she's terrified that it'll come out that Curtis was her father and that he molested her. She's says she'd rather die than have Bo find out. Bo tells Billie he is going to search Curtis's past to discover everything he can about his connection to Kate. Billie worries he will discover everything about her too, because if Bo finds out Curtis molested her, he won't want to be with her anymore. Austin disagrees with her.

Newspaper headlines about Kate come out and Kate worries about the embarrassment she has caused Victor. She offers him out of the marriage but he says no, he'll stand by her. Her lawyer tells her her position could be worse than Billie's. Lucas overhears and yells at him, telling him he'd better get him mum out of this. Kate tells Lucas she's worried she has lost Victor's respect and that he'll regret marrying her. Lucas reminds her Victor knew a lot of the dirt before he married her. She says if she goes to prison for Curtis's murder she'll definitely lose Victor.
Austin wonders if Kate is really their mother. Billie says why should they even care, if she is their mother, she left them with someone who beat up Austin and molested Billie. But Austin believes Curtis could have lied, and Kate could be telling the truth that Curtis made her leave her children. He remembers their mother reading them stories and singing to them. Bo turns up at Titan publishing with a search warrant to search Kate's files. Victor asks Bo not to treat his wife as a common criminal but Bo says he's after the truth. Kate moans that this is all Billie's fault and swears revenge. Austin shows Billie a brooch their mother left behind and she remembers her mother singing to her. At the courthouse Billie sees Kate and tells her she wants to ask her something.

Billie tries to ask Kate about her kids but Kate says Billie's the last person she'd speak to about them. She says Billie knew Curtis, that he was her dealer, and that Kate's humiliation is because of Billie. She calls Billie trash and accuses her of having been Curtis's lover. She tells her it's no wonder her mother left her, that she probably took one look at Billie and knew she'd turn out to be a conniving, drug addicted whore. Billie runs out and tells Austin "That bitch is not our mother".

Jen tells Austin she has been trying to track his mother down for months, and that Peter has files of marriages in Chicago during the time Curtis got married which they're looking through to try to find out whether Kate is really his and Billie's mother. Jen leaves the trial to go to Peter's to look through the files with him. She twists her ankle so obviously he has to carry her up to his room.

Bo gets a phone call with a lead he hopes will give him some information about Curtis and Kate.
Laura asks Alice to point out Kate's son to her, and Alice points Lucas out. Laura stares at him and Alice, seeing her stare, says there's something familiar about him, isn't there? Laura speaks to him and tells him he doesn't look like his mother and he says no, apparently I look like my father.

Carrie overhears Sami telling Jamie about her date with Alan, and how she hopes he'll try to kiss her. Carrie tells Sami Alan is too old for her and she'll get in over her head. Sami tells Carrie she's old enough to do what she wants.

Marlena says she needs to move Belle from Roman's health insurance to hers and that he needs to sign a document renouncing responsibility for Belle. He's sad about how Belle won't even remember him one day but Marlena says he made Belle's first months of life full of love. He remembers special moments with Belle and gets angry, telling Marlena not to come by the pub anymore. Carrie goes to the pub to tell Roman about Sami and Alan but sees his pain and decides not to. Instead she goes to Marlena. Meanwhile Caroline tries to persuade Roman to forgive Marlena. Sami in the meantime is with Alan and as he kisses her on the cheek Marlena arrives to talk to Alan and tells him Sami can't date anyone over 18. Sami says she has no right to tell her anything about what she can and can't do.

Bo arrives at the courthouse and tells Billie he has new information on Kate which should clear Billie. With Kate back on the stand, Mickey reveals that Kate once attacked Curtis with a butcher knife. She says it was only because Curtis had attacked her that night and she only did it to protect her babies. Mickey says that in light of this new evidence he moves that the charges against Billie be dropped and Kate be charged with murder. Lucas stands up and shouts that his mother didn't kill Curtis because he did it, he killed Curtis Brown. Boom boom

JANUARY 3 - FEBRUARY 4, 1994

Winter Fest
Belle's Baptism
Winter Heat
Curtis Brown Murder (Cont.)

Peter read the contents of Sami's file to Stefano. He revealed that Sami was bulimic and that she had not disclosed the cause of the eating disorder to the doctor. Stefano was convinced the cause had something to do with the secret between John and Marlena. He instructed Peter to steal Sami's diary as he believed the answer may be found there.

At the Brady pub, Shawn told Sami that he and the rest of the family still loved her despite her actions. They all wanted to see her get better and would stand behind her. Sami was relieved to hear this.

Marlena told Sami that she had told John about Sami knowing of the affair. Marlena later told John that she was planning on telling Roman. John suggested that it would hurt Roman and destroy their marriage. Marlena told John that she was aware of the dangers but she could not let Sami continue to suffer and that the secrets were destroying Sami.

Roman once again thanked John for returning Isabella to them and thanked John for his friendship and support throughout the year. He told John he was glad to have such a good friend, which made John feel even more guilty about his and Marlena's affair.

Carrie had her first day at work at Titan with Lucas. Lucas invited her to dinner but she declined as she had arranged to meet Austin at the pub. Austin learned that Brandee was in Salem and insisted that she come with him to the Brady Pub to explain things to Carrie. Brandee told Carrie that there had never been anything between her and Austin and that she had made the whole thing up. Carrie asked why she had done this. Lucas was outside and saw Brandee talking to Austin and Carrie.

At the Brady pub, Carrie repeated her question to Brandee, asking why she had lied to her about her involvement with Austin. Outside Lucas rang Brandee and warned her not to say anything. Victor had Maree fire Brandee and when Maree told Brandee at the pub, she was angered and told Carrie and Austin that Lucas had arranged the whole scam. She told them that Lucas had wanted Carrie to think that her and Austin were involved so that he could have Carrie for himself. Austin and Lucas got into a fight and had to be pulled apart. Later, Lucas tried to explain to Carrie, but she slapped him.

Austin asked Carrie out for a lunch date the following day.

Carrie had Austin had lunch but both were clumsy and awkward. Carrie suggested that they go ice-skating. While Carrie was waiting for Austin in the park, Lucas approached Carrie to apologise for his actions. He explained that he knew what he had done was wrong and he was sorry. He wanted Carrie to know that he was going to be a better person. Carrie apologised for slapping him and said she could forgive what he had done but could not forget. This pleased Lucas but angered Austin who had just arrived. Carrie explained by forgiving Lucas, she could put it all behind her and move on with her life.

Marlena told Sami she was going to tell Roman of her affair with John. Sami was insistent that Marlena not do this as it would devastate Roman. Sami suggested that Marlena talk to Dr Dorman first to see what he thought. Marlena told Sami that she had already done this but would talk to him again if it made her feel better. After speaking to Dr Dorman, Marlena was still determined to confess to Roman but Sami warned her not to.

Bo told Billie that he was having DNA tests performed on the skin found under Curtis's fingernails. He was hoping to prove that someone else had struggled with Curtis that night. Abe suggested to Billie that she take the D.A.'s deal. She refused once more. The DNA tests returned showing that the skin sample had the same genetic make-up as Billie suggesting that she was the murderer. Bo re-questioned Wendy about what she had seen or heard the night Curtis was shot. Wendy accidently let it slip that she had heard Curtis and Billie arguing. Bo was angry, but later Wendy remembered that she had heard someone else in the alley with Curtis after Billie had left. She couldn't tell if the voice was male or female but it wasn't Billie. This made Bo hopeful and he announced he would re question all the neighbours to find this other person. Austin once again suggested that Billie tell Bo the truth but Billie was adamant that she didn't want Bo finding out about her past.

Bo suggested to Billie that she try hypnosis to remember what happened the night that Curtis died. Billie refused explaining that she did not want to remember the past as it was too painful. Bo did not push her. Stefano read Sami's diary and discovered that Marlena slept with John, that John is Belle's father and no-one knows the truth of Belle's paternity except for Sami. Peter suggested telling Kristen straight away but Stefano insisted on waiting for the right moment.

After a therapy session, Roman and Sami went ice-skating in the park. While there, Lucas started talking to Sami. He told her that Carrie had forgiven him and he wanted Sami and him to be friends again. Sami suspected that Lucas was up to something but agreed to be friends. Marlena told John that she was telling Roman the truth. He said that he would stand behind her no matter what she did. He then told Marlena that he thought his memory may be returning. Marlena was pleased to hear this. At the park, while waiting for Peter, Jennifer saw Lucas looking at Austin and Carrie skating. Jennifer told Lucas that he should move on with his life and try to forget about Carrie. Lucas asked if she was doing that with Jack. Peter arrived and they had champagne. Peter had to leave but told Jen he would like to get to know her better. As he left, he kissed Jen which bewildered her.

Bo had a policeman run a check on the $100 bill they found on Curtis to see if it was marked in any way or traceable. Bo and Abe took the murder weapon to a pawn shop to see if a mark on the gun was a pawnshop identifying mark. The pawnshop owner recognised the mark but was unable to say who bought the gun as his records had been stolen. At the pawnshop, Abe saw Jonah's medical bag with his initials carved on the front. Abe went to see Jonah to confront him about selling the bag.

Marlena tells Roman about the affair with John. Roman is devastated and tells Marlena he will kill John. It is then revealed that Marlena is dreaming. She worries that her dream will come true and that if Roman were to find out the truth he would never be able to forgive her or John. At the Brady pub, Shawn and Caroline tell Sami that they still love her even though she kidnapped Belle. They tell her that they want to help her overcome her emotional problems.

John walks into the pub while the Bradys are discussing Sami and invite him to join them. Roman suggests a family photo and insists John be in it which upsets Sami. John tells Sami she must make an effort to pretend to like John so Roman does not become suspicious. Sami agrees but is horrified when Roman suggests John hold Isabella in the family photo.

Jennifer and Austin do a show about a woman who wrote an exercise book. She explains that she wrote it after her husband left her. This makes Jen think of Jack and she freezes on air. Austin comes to her rescue. Peter was watching at the studio and asks Jen if she was all right. Jen says she is. Peter asks her out but Jen explains that she is still a married woman and could not think about starting a relationship. After Peter leaves, Jen is served with divorce papers from Jack.

Austin confides in Jen that his relationship with Carrie is not going as he would like. He tells Jen he believed the relationship would pick up from where they left it. Jen tells Austin to take his time and allow he and Carrie to know each other all over again. Carrie relates the same problems to Caroline and Caroline gives Carrie the same advice that Jen gave Austin.

Stefano tells Peter that before he uses the information in Samis diary he must first confirm it validity. He gets Peter to arrange a blood test for Belle. As they are talking in the hospital lounge, Sami walks in. Stefano talks to Sami and tells her that he is psychic and can read palms. Sami doubts this but Stefano asks her if he may read her palm. Sami is reluctant but allows Stefano to do so. He tells her he knows she was in love with a man with the initials A. R. Sami is amazed. He then tells her that he knows she has a secret. Sami denies this and leaves the lounge. John visits Marlena and she tells him of the dream she had earlier. John suggests this could be a sign and that she should not tell Roman. While they are talking Marlena gets a phone call from the hospital reminding her that Belle was scheduled for some blood tests that day. Marlena and John take Belle to the hospital where they see Roman and Sami. Again Sami is panicked by the idea of blood tests.

Bo discovered that Lucas was given a speeding ticket on the night that Curtis was murdered near the scene of the crime and about the time that Curtis was killed. Lucas told Bo he had gone to see Carrie but had changed his mind. Bo suspects that Lucas is hiding something. After Bo leaves, Lucas burns a pair of gloves in the fireplace.

At the Brady pub, Bo tells Billie that he may have a lead which could produce another suspect.

At the hospital Sami tells Jamie about Stefano reading her palm. Jamie is sceptical and warns Sami to stay away from him. Later Sami asks John to convince Marlena not to tell Roman the truth as it would destroy him. John agrees to do this.

Victor questions Lucas as to why Bo had called. Lucas told Vic that Bo had found out about the speeding ticket. Victor asked if there was anything else that could connect Lucas with Curtis. Lucas assured Victor there was nothing. A lawyer, working for Victor to help Vivian, told Vic that Vivian had taken a turn for the worst.

Austin and Carrie had lunch together at the Brady pub and shared a kiss afterward.

ohn offered Marlena the baptism gown that Brady wore for Belle. Marlena accepted the gown. John pleaded with Marlena not to tell Roman the truth about their affair. He suggested that he and Roman needed to work together to beat Stefano and that would not happen if Roman knew the truth. He also told Marlena that Sami had begged him not to let Roman know.

Peter returned to the hospital where he stole the vial of blood containing Belles blood sample.

Roman taped Stefano talking so that Wendy might be able to recognise the voice as the one she heard in the alley. After doing this he went to tell John and was surprised to see Marlena there and questioned her.

Carrie and Austin were babysitting Belle and spoke about the future and the possibility of having children together. Austin was pleasantly surprised to find out that Carrie had thought about it as well.

Jamie confronted Sami asking what she had done with the missing blood sample. Sami denied any knowledge of it and Jamie explained she had thought Sami had stolen it. The girls concluded it must have been a fortunate accident.

John and Marlena told Roman she was there to get the baptism gown from John. Roman accepted this and told John of the tape of Stefanos voice. John had a flashback of a woman calling him Johnny. He confronted Stefano about this asking who the woman was. Stefano told John nothing claiming he did not know of any such woman.

Bo had a policeman bring Billie to the police station. She was worried until Bo explained it was so they could be together since they could not be seen in public.

Roman and Bo had Wendy listen to the tape but she could not identify the voice. She claimed that it may or may not be the voice, she just could not say. Bo was disappointed that Wendy could not say for sure.

Billie asked Marlena about hypnosis and whether it was possible to keep something hidden. She confided in Marlena the truth about her incestuous past but did not let on that her father was Curtis. Billie told Marlena she could not go through the hypnosis in case her past came out and Bo would find out. She explained that she did not want to hurt Bo by revealing that part of her past.

Marlena told John that she was touched by a patient who would risk going to jail to prevent hurting the man she loved. She told him that this had convinced her never to tell Roman the truth.

Peter returned to Salem where Stefano demanded the results of the blood tests. Peter made some phone calls and told Stefano the results would arrive first thing in the morning.

Carrie gave Austin a bow tie as a late Christmas present which he promised to wear to the baptism. Austin tried to convince Billie that she should tell Bo the truth but again she claimed she would never tell. Carrie took Romans suit to the police station so he could get dressed. While there, she saw a photo of Curtis and told Bo that Lucas had shown her a similar photo the night Curtis was killed, saying that Lucas seemed desperate to find Curtis.

Bo confronted Lucas but Lucas denied knowing Curtis, explaining that he had shown Carrie a photo of a teacher from the military academy who was visiting. Lucas told Bo he was not desperate to find this man. Bo was suspicious and noticed the burnt gloves in the fireplace.

John and Marlena told Sami that they had decided never to tell Roman the truth which delighted Sami. Peter and Stefano discovered that John was the father of Belle. At the church, Peter told Marlena that Stefano knew about her affair with John and that he wanted to tell everyone before he died.

Midway through the baptism ceremony, Stefano arrived in the church, seen only by Marlena. She knew that Stefano would tell Roman of the affair so she tried to stop the ceremony so she could tell him, herself before Stefano could. Roman would not wait until after the ceremony so Marlena told him that she had broken their marriage vows by sleeping with another man. Roman was shocked as was the entire congregation.

Kate arrived back in Salem and was surprised to see Bo questioning Lucas about the Curtis Brown murder. Victor tried to assure Bo that Lucas had nothing to do with the murder. Kate asked Lucas why he had gone out that night. She was frightened for Lucas and he wanted to know why Kate seemed scared of what he may have seen. Victor assured Kate that he would not let anyone hurt her or Lucas and he would do all that he could to protect them.

At the church, everyone was shocked when Marlena told Roman that she had had an affair. Roman refused to believe it thinking that Marlena was under a lot of stress. Marlena, crying, told him she was speaking the truth. Sami was especially distraught and told her mother that she should have kept quiet like she had promised to do. Roman realised that keeping the secret had been the cause of Sam's emotional problems and blamed Marlena for letting Sami suffer. At this point John stood up for Marlena. Roman told him to stay out of it but John admitted he was the man Marlena slept with. Roman attacked John but Shawn and Caroline broke up the fight.

Everyone left the church except Roman, Marlena and John. Roman was angry and questioned John and Marlena about the affair. Marlena and John tried to apologise and justify the affair but Roman would not listen. Billie became more determined to keep her secret after seeing the affect it had on Roman. Kristen had trouble accepting that John could betray Roman like that and Carrie was also devastated.

Stefano left the church unseen by anyone and told Peter they would save the news of John being the father of Belle for another time.

After Roman left the church, Marlena told John that Stefano had found out the truth and she felt she had to tell Roman before Stefano did. John went to confront Stefano while Marlena went home.

At the Brady house, Roman smashed some photos of him and Marlena. When Marlena arrived they argued. Again she tried to explain that John and her never resolved their feelings for each other and neither of them had wanted to hurt Roman. She told him that she still loved him and wanted their marriage to work.

Kristen went to the hospital to tell Stefano of the news. He admitted to Kristen that he had gone to the church, not realising the baptism was on, and had overheard Marlena confess. John arrived and blamed the confession on Stefano. Kristen defended her father saying that his sleeping with Marlena was not her fathers fault. Later John assured Kristen that the affair had taken place before he had become involved with her and once he started seeing her, he had been with no other woman. Kristen was unsure of this but once again told John to leave her father alone. Peter told Alice and Jennifer about Marlenas confession. They were both shocked.

John went to the Brady pub and recieved a hostile reaction from Shawn, Caroline, Carrie and Sami. He begged them to try and forgive Marlena even if they could not forgive him. Roman arrived and attacked John. Shawn and Abe broke up the fight and insisted that John leave.

Marlena was consoled by Lexie and then Alice. Marlena told Alice that Peter had warned her that Stefano had known of the affair. Marlena admitted to Alice that she did not know what Peters motives were in telling her that Stefano knew. Marlena went to the pub to get Belle and was met by john outside. He suggested that she not go in as the Bradys were still very angry.

Carrie was quite upset by the news of the affair and told Austin that the news had made her reconsider the meaning of love. She told him she did not believe in love or that their relationship could work and broke up with him.

At the station, Bo tries to figure out where the $100 bill came from and who it belongs to. Roman calls the federal police to see if they can help and they agree to assist. Bo tells Roman about Lucas' gloves that he found in the fireplace.

Bo returned to the Kiriakis mansion to question the servants about Kate, Lucas and Victor's movements on the night of Curtis's murder. The maid, Mary, revealed that Kate had been beaten on that night.

Victor told Lucas that he would protect him but was upset that it was causing a rift between himself and Bo. Victor admitted to Kate and Lucas that he had gone out looking for Curtis that night. Kate admitted to Vic and Lucas that Curtis beat he and that she had tried to pay him off. Bo confronted Kate about the beating.

Kate tried to comfort Marlena after hearring about her confession. Marrlena urged Kate to go to the police about her connection to Curtis but Kate refused.

Caroline told Marlena that Roman had asked that Shawn and her look after Belle. Marlena was upset so Caroline brought Belle to her mother. Marlena and Caroline talked about Caroline's affair.

Carrie confronted Marlena about her betrayal. Carrie says to her that she could never forgive her for hurting her father like that. She told Marlena that she had broken up with Austin because she no longer believed in love. Marlena urged her to give Austin a chance.

Carrie claimed that if a strong marriage like Marlena and Roman's hasn't succeeded, no relationship could ever succeed. Austin tries to convince her not to give up on their relationship, that they have been thrown a lot of things that they have gotten through. He brings her flowers, but Carrie says that she can't handle that pain right now and she asks him to leave.

Shawn and Caroline tried to comfort Roman. Shawn explained how he felt betrayed when he learnt of Caroline's affair and how Bo was not his son. This made Shawn ask Roman if it was possible Belle was not his daughter.

Roman refused to believe that Belle may not be his. He told his parents that there was no chance of this. They told Marlena of their suggetion that belle may be John's. Marlena sought Roman and explained that she had tests run to confirm that Roman was the father. She also told him the details of the affair. Roman ordered Marlena to leave the house and called her a slut.

Kate told Bo she slipped and fell on the ice and was not beaten. Lucas, Kate and Vic assured Bo that they were hiding nothing. Bo did not believe this and told Vic he could never think of him as a father if Vic had lied to him. Vic was quite distressed but relieved that Bo had no way of connecting them to the murder. Bo said to Victor that he had many chances to get close to him but he blew it.

A cop told Bo that the trace on the $100 bill showed it came from a cash payment to Titan.

Roman again ordered Marlena to move out of the house. She refused saying that she was not ready to give up on their marriage. She asked him if he still loved her and he answered: "god help me, I do". Roman returned home and was angry to find Marlena still there. He told her he wanted Sami and Belle to stay with him and for her to leave.

Bo questioned Victor's accountant who confirmed that the 100 note came from a large sum of money requested by Kate and that the money came back one hundred dollars short. Kate said the money was for a business deal and Lucas claimed he stole some money from the safe. Bo was suspicious of their explanations.

At the brady house, John trie to apologise to Roman but Roman attacks John. They are broken up by Sami. John goes to retaurant. Roman tells Sami that he wants custody of her and Belle. Sami is upset by this news.

Alan invited Lucas to go skiiing. Kate encouraged him to go. At Salem Place, Sami told Lucas that Carrie was skiing at greenmount and Lucas convinced Alan to go there. Sami had also told Lucas that Austin and Carrie had broken up.

Kate detroyed all the clothes she was wearing the night of Curtis's murder. She was about to destroy the shoe but believed that no one notices shoes so kept them in the wardrobe. Mary, the maid, was suspicious of Kate's actions.

Bo told Billie that he had tried to get Pat Hamilton to move the trial back but he wouldn't. He invited her to spend the night on the boat. They fell asleep on the deck.

Austin told Carrie that he loved her and convinced her to give their relationship another chance. She agreed and decided to go skiing.

WINTER HEAT

Billie awakens on the beach not realising where she is or how she got there. Bo tells her that uring the night the boat drifted and they were washed up on this island. Bo and Billie spent the day frolicking on the beach and swimming. Bo gave Billie a shell. At the end of the episode, it was revealed that Billie had dreamed the whole thing but she seemed to think the shell had something to do with Curtis' murder.
Carrie and Austin arrived and were surprised to find only one bed in the room. Carrie told Austin it didn't matter and that she wanted to make love with him. Lucas and Alan got into a fight over Carrie.

Jen rang Pinehaven and heard about the fire. Unable to find Peter, she asked Austin to take her to the airport. Leaving Carrie alone, she was visited by an unknown person in a ski mask and he tries to rape her. Her screams scare him away.

Belle Is Kidnapped/Curtis Reed Murder Continues

(Not Very Much Carrie And Austin This Time, however,

Much Important Detail)

The person wearing black, who broke into Belle's room, picked up Belle and left out the window. Marlena and Roman returned home to find Sami asleep in the living room. Marlena went to check on Belle and found her gone. While looking for Belle, they saw a ladder outside the window. Roman called the police. John was passing by and saw the activity at the house. He came in to see what was wrong and Marlena told him that Belle had been kidnapped. John instantly thought that Stefano was responsible. He left to confront Stefano, while Roman stayed to comfort Marlena and Sami. Tony and Kristen visited Stefano on the eve of their wedding day to get his blessing. Stefano wished the couple the best and assured Kristen she was doing the right thing by marrying Tony. As they were drinking a toast, they heard John outside the room. Kristen rushed out to see what he wanted. John told Kristen that Belle had been kidnapped. Tony and Kristen were upset by this and asked who would do such a thing. John openly accused Stefano.

Bo told Billie that he wanted to start a relationship with her but they would have to wait until the murder investigation was over. He warned Billie that Pat Hamilton could not find out about their involvement. Bo took Billie to the basement where Curtis hid, hoping that the place would cause her to remember what happened the night Curtis died. Billie had a number of flashbacks, remembering threatening Curtis, Curtis drugging her and seeing Curtis's gun. She told Bo that she remembered Curtis giving her heroin. She ran out of the storage room and saw Curtis standing on the stairs.

The man Billie saw on the stairs ran and was caught by Bo. He claimed to be a new tenant looking for the laundry room. Later he was revealed as a photographer for a tabloid newspaper and he managed to get a photo of Bo holding Billie. Billie tried to get the camera off him but Bo let him go. Upstairs, Billie told Austin and Carrie how she mistook the man for Curtis and told Austin that Curtis was still ruining their lives. Bo asked what Billie meant by this. Austin explained Billie was confused but Bo did not believe him. Bo agreed to drop the point, for the moment, because Billie was upset but wanted to talk to her the next day.

Kristen reused to believe that Stefano could be responsible for Belle's kidnapping. She asked Stefano and Peter who both denied any involvement. Kristen let John into Stefano's room so Stefano could tell John he was innocent. John told Stefano he was offering a one million dollar reward for Belle's return. Stefano agreed to match this reward in hopes that Marlena's baby would be returned safely. Despite Stefano's offer, John did not believe he was innocent.

Roman and Marlena waited anxiously for a phone call from the abductor, while Shawn and Caroline tried to offer their support. Lexie arrived home and Abe told her what had happened. She begged Abe to be allowed to help but he pointed out that she was no longer on the police force and could not help. He would not allow her to go through any old kidnapping cases for clues. Sami continued to blame herself for Belle's kidnapping even though Roman and Marlena don't.

Carrie and Austin talked about their relationship and how it ended. Austin asked Carrie if they could try again after the murder investigation with Billie was over. Carrie did not have a chance to reply as Bo and Billie arrived.

Kristen had a dream about her wedding but as she was about to say her vows a baby started crying. She went to see Marlena to offer any support she could. She told Marlena about her dream of Belle. Marlena was touched but John wanted to know what the baby symbolised. Carrie gave Kristen a blue garter for the wedding and wished Kristen the best.

John told Marlena about Stefano matching his 1 million dollar reward and confided to Marlena that he didn't think that Stefano was responsible for the kidnapping. John arranged to have Belle's photo put on the front page of the Spectator and Sami thought this was a bad idea. Marlena tried to calm Sami down but Sami erupted at John and Marlena and left.

The kidnapper gave Belle a bottle. As they picked up Belle, it was revealed that the kidnapper was Sami.

Kristen arrived at the church and was given a necklace by Stefano that had belonged to his mother. He told her to pass it her daughter on her wedding day. Father Kyle asked Kristen if she was sure she had resolved her feelings towards the other man she loved. Kristen assured him that she had. Later, Karen, Sami's friend, stopped by the church to wish Kristen luck. Karen told Kristen that she had given her baby up for adoption. Kristen asked about this and Karen explained that she had made all the arrangements through a lawyer who approached her at the hospital.

Sami discovered that she had run out of Belle's special formula and returned home to get some. She ran into Karen on the way home and asked Karen not to mention their conversation about the adoption lawyer. Karen agreed not to say anything. John asked Marlena about Sami's attitude and Marlena told him about Sami's bulimia but did not tell him that Sami knew of their affair. John asked Marlena and Roman if he could question Sami about the kidnapping. While questioning her, Sami told John to leave her alone and leave the whole family alone. Later Sami asked Roman if he would love her no matter what she did. Roman assured her that he would. Sami was putting bottles of formula in her backpack when Marlena walked in asking what she was doing.

John was standing outside listening to the sound of wedding bells in the distance. At the church, Stefano began to walk Kristen down the aisle.

Kristen made it down the aisle where Tony was waiting but then decided she could not go through with the wedding and ran out. Stefano started to berate her but Tony asked Stefano and Peter to leave. Kristen assured Tony that she still loved him but she could not marry him yet. She was troubled by Belle's kidnapping and wanted to follow through on a lead given to her by Karen. Tony suggested that she give the police the information but Kristen argued that the people on the streets trusted her but not the police. Tony agreed to postpone the wedding. Stefano berated Tony for allowing him to let Kristen leave but Tony told Stefano he wanted their wedding day to be perfect.

Billie noticed that Bo was looking tired because of all the work he was doing on the Curtis case and with Belle's kidnapping. Billie decided to surprise him by cleaning the boat. Bo arrived and almost hit her with a baseball bat thinking she was an intruder. Billie had a bathtub delivered to the boat and gave Bo a bubble bath. She washed his hair and then his back.

Sami hid the bottle behind her back while Marlena talked to her. The walkie-talkie in Sami's bag must have been turned on because Belle started crying. Sami pretended that she didn't hear anything and convinced Marlena there was a stray cat crying outside. Later Sami took Belle to the adoption lawyer in hopes of giving her to another family.

Wendy told John and Marlena that when she was pregnant there were people who approached her to buy her baby. She suggested that perhaps one of these baby sellers had kidnapped Belle. John went to the pier to see if he could find these people and saw Kristen.

John was surprised to see Kristen on the pier and not on her honeymoon. He then saw that she was not wearing a wedding ring. He immediately assumed that she had cancelled the wedding because of him. Kristen explained that she loved Tony and the only reason she had postponed the wedding was because of Belle. She explained that she thought she could get information from the street people who did not trust strangers or the police. John and Kristen decided to continue their investigations independently and share any results.

Bo, still in the bathtub, pulled Billie, fully clothed, in with him. She got out and wrapped herself in a towel while her dress dried. Bo told her that he wanted to make love to her but knew they should wait until she was cleared of the Curtis Brown murder. They heard a noise on deck and Bo discovered the photographer from the tabloid newspaper going through his garbage. Bo told him to leave but he tried to get Bo to give him information about the murder. Bo again told him to leave. Billie was frightened by all the publicity Bo was receiving from the case.

Sami, calling herself Nancy White, saw the adoption lawyer. He asked her some questions and Sami made up a story about being a single mother. He told her that for the adoption to go through he would need the birth certificate. Sami was upset but was determined to get around this obstacle. She went to the hospital where she struck up a conversation with a doctor who was in charge of births. The doctor explained to Sami how the birth certificate information was entered into the computer and sent to City Hall. The certificate was then sent to the parents. Sami entered false details into the computer and was almost caught by John who was following a lead.

Kate, Victor and Lucas were decorating the Christmas tree when Victor's lawyer rang about Vivian. Kate used the time to talk to Lucas about his love life. She warned him that Brandee seemed an ambitious opportunistic girl who would take advantage of him. Lucas assured Kate that he and Brandee were just friends and the only girl he was interested in was Carrie. Kate was happy because she thought that Carrie was a nice girl. She told Lucas that she would arrange for Lucas to be involved with Countess Willhimena so that he could spend more time with Carrie.

Later Victor gave a toast saying that he was going to have the best Christmas ever because he was spending it with his new family. Kate confided in Victor that she felt bad about taking over Billie's company but wasn't changing her mind. Victor told Kate that for Bo's sake he wished Kate would but was not going to interfere.

Wendy was planning a dinner for her and Jonah at her apartment. She invited Carrie to join them and she reluctantly agreed. Moments later Carrie discovered that Austin had also been invited. After dinner Jonah, feeling bad about being expelled from medical school, left for the Cheating Heart. Wendy followed him. At the Heart, Jonah was about to get into a fight but Wendy called Austin to help. After Austin got rid of the antagonist, Wendy invited everyone back to her apartment but Austin refused, saying that Carrie did not want him there. While the others were gone, Carrie was visited by Lucas who told Carrie of their working together. Carrie was not impressed but Lucas told her that he was working in hopes of trying to get Billie her company back. Later Wendy warned Carrie not to trust Lucas and to try and work things out with Austin. Carrie told Wendy that the time she and Austin were together was magic but that was over now. As she said this Austin and Jonah walked in and heard what Carrie had said.

Marlena and Roman were disappointed to hear that John had no further news about Belle. He told them of his idea of following up on single mothers who had given birth in the last few months. Roman suggested that he check out the local adoption agencies to see if there were any leads there. John told Marlena that Kristen had postponed her wedding because of Belle. She asked John whether he thought that was just an excuse but he wasn't sure. He said he was going to fight for her. Marlena and Roman thanked Kristen for her help and Marlena suggested tracking down Karen through the hospital.

Sami returned to the lawyer and told him there was a delay in obtaining the birth certificate. He was upset but continued to make preliminary arrangements. He introduced Sami to a couple, the Robertsons, who questioned Sami about her motives for giving up her child. The couple got into an argument over the name they would give the baby and Sami angrily told the Robertsons and the lawyer that she was giving her baby to a family that didn't fight. The lawyer tried to calm her down but she insisted on finding a good family for her baby. Later Sami saw John giving Marlena a supportive hug at Salem Place which angered her further.

Pat Hamilton told Roman that she was concerned with Bo's handling of the Curtis Brown case. She told Roman that Bo should be putting pressure on Billie to confess. Pat wanted Billie followed 24 hours a day. After she left, Roman and Bo got into an argument over the case. Later Roman saw a copy of the "Intruder" with an intimate photo of Bo and Billie. This caused another fight between the brothers at the pub.

Billie and Carrie were shopping at Salem Place and Billie was excited about the Countess Willhimena products. Carrie told Austin she did not know how to break the news that Kate had taken over the company. At the pub, Carrie and Austin told Billie and she was devastated. Later Austin told Carrie that he was determined to get Brandee to tell Carrie the truth so that Carrie and he could have another chance.

Father Kyle told Shawn and Caroline that there were so many needy families this Christmas and not enough money to buy presents for all the children. Shawn suggested that he and Caroline throw a Christmas party. Billie apologised to Bo for causing problems between him and Roman. Bo noticed they were being watched by the "Intruder" photographer. He took Billie and led her through a door in Salem Place. After a few moments they discovered they were locked in this dark room and did not know where they were. Bo then heard Billie scream.

Sami collected the birth certificate and then took it to Mr. Miller. Karen told Kristen that the lawyer who arranged her baby's adoption was Mr. Miller but he only spoke to married couples.

Kristen then asked John to pose as her husband as Tony was out of town. John agreed to help Kristen and together they went to see Mr. Miller. While they were talking to him, Sami arrived at the office, with Belle, and was going to go in.

Marlena told Roman that she did not want to celebrate Christmas with Belle gone but Roman told her that they had to. He arranged for Marlena to be the lucky customer who got to turn on the Christmas tree lights at Salem Place.

Billie had backed into a reindeer statue and had thought it was a knife. Bo realised that they were locked in Barron's department store. They could not break out as it would set off an alarm. They decided to have a Christmas celebration. They changed into fancy clothes and danced. Bo found some food and they were about to eat when a guard dog appeared and threatened to attack.

Billie fed the guard dog which made it turn friendly. Bo then found a karaoke machine and decided to sing. They sang "Winter Wonderland" together. They then discovered a Christmas tree and decided to decorate it to really get into the spirit.

At the hospital, Tom and Alice read the Christmas story at the children's party, as Kate, Victor, Roman, Marlena and maggie watched. Mickey came as Santa Claus. Kate told Marlena that she was sorry for what Marlena was going through and told her that she knew what it was like to lose a child.

Sami was told by Mr Miller's secretary that he was busy so Sami left, unseen by John and Kristen. She later returned to his office and was not impressed that Mr Miller had found another couple. She told Miller that she did not want a local couple, but rather a couple from outside of Salem.

John and Kristen told Roman and Marlena that they felt they were close to finding Belle. John explained that he had a feeling that the baby they were talking about at Miller's office was Belle.

Shawn and Caroline were organising the Christmas party at the pub with Father Kyle, Mickey, Maggie, Austin and Carrie. Fr Kyle explained that there were not enough toys for all the children. Mickey rang Mr Barron, who owns Barron's department store, and told everyone that Mr Barron had allowed them to fill two boxes of toys. Shawn, Mickey, Austin and Carrie went over to Barron's and while they were collecting toys, Bo and Billie pretended they had just walked in from the street.

Lucas asked Kate for a donation to the party, so that he could impress Carrie but Kate refused. Victor, however agreed to help. Lucas went to Barron's and announced that they could buy as many toys that were needed. Carrie was not impressed by Lucas' actions.

At the party, Kate and Billie argued over Countess Wilhemina. Kate told Billie that she was a loser just like Curtis. Billie asked how Kate knew about Curtis and Kate tried to cover up by saying that she had read about him in the paper. Billie was not convinced.

John and Kristen rang Miller to try and hurry up the proceedings for the adoption. Miller did not tell John about the mother's request that the couple be non-Salemites. He only explained that there would be a delay in the adoption but John insisted that things be hurried along.

Sami reiterated to Miller her desire that the parents be non-Salemites. He tried to convince her otherwise but Sami would not listen. Later John told Sami that the police were close to catching the kidnapper.

Miller lied to Sami saying that he had found an out of town couple to adopt her baby. Later Sami told Caroline that she would not attend midnight mass with the family because she was spending the night with Jamie who was alone because her parents were out of town.

Miller rang John and told him the mother had agreed to the adoption. Sami overheard Shawn telling Bo that the police were watching the adoption lawyer's office and when the mother showed up she would be caught. Sami panicked and asked Mr Miller to move the meeting place to a restaurant out of town. At the restaurant, Sami was anxiously waiting for Miller to appear when John approached her and asked what she was doing there.

Jen and Austin arrived at Pinehaven to take Laura back to Salem. Vivian overheard two nurses saying Laura's doctor had gone to California. Viv had Ivan steal Laura's authorisation from her file. The nurse told Jen that the doctor had not okayed Laura's leave and that she had to stay. Jennifer was heartbroken but Austin had the doctor fax another letter of authorisation.

Kate thanked Bo for agreeing to visit Victor on Christmas day, telling Bo how much Victor would appreciate it. She told Bo of her and Vic's plan to have a child of their own.

Fr Kyle tried to get Billie to agree to sing at mass. Billie told him that she hadn't been to church in years and that she was not a good person. Fr Kyle told her that it is never too late to return and that God accepted and forgave everyone. Billie agreed to sing and did so at the mass.

Sami told John that she was meeting Jamie and her parents for dinner but she thought she had the wrong restaurant. John then told her that he and Kristen were there to meet a lawyer and a girl who possibly had Belle. Sami panicked and returned to University Hospital to ask Jamie, who was working, if she could borrow her credit cards. Jamie gave them to Sami and all of this was witnessed by Stefano. Sami arrived at the airport, hoping to escape Salem with Belle.

Kristen told Stefano how she was frightened that Sami would blow their cover at the restaurant. Stefano then told Kristen about Sami and her desperate need for money. Kristen figured out that Sami was the mother and with John they raced to the airport.

At the mass Marlena told the congregation she was grateful for their support. As Billie sang, John and Kristen came in with Belle and handed her to Marlena.

Stefano was curious to find out why Sami had kidnapped her own sister and questioned Kristen who could offer no explanation. Stefano offered John one million dollars as reward but John refused to accept. Stefano then asked John if he knew the reason for Sami's behaviour but John told Stefano to leave the Brady's alone.
John caught Sami trying to run away. He told her that he had not told Roman and Marlena because he thought it best that she tell them herself. He warned her not to try to runaway as Abe knew the truth and had some police watching the house to prevent her from leaving. He told her that if she did not tell her parents the truth then he would have to. Sami tried to talk to her parents a number of times but couldn't bring herself to tell them she had been the one responsible for Belle's kidnapping.

Kristen offered to help John tell Roman and Marlena the truth. Together they went to Roman and Marlena's and told them that Samantha was the one who kidnapped Belle.

Victor visited Vivian at Pinehaven. He told her that he and Kate were going to New Year's Eve party to celebrate Tom's recovery. He also told Viv of his and Kate's intention to have a child. Vivian is panicking that Laura will react when she sees Kate.

Roman and Marlena would not believe that Sami had kidnapped Belle. They accused John and Kristen of making it up. As they explained how they had caught Sami on a plane heading for Miami, Shawn, Caroline and Carrie arrived. In front of the whole family, Sami admitted that she had been the kidnapper and ran upstairs. The whole family was in shock. Marlena tried to talk to Sami about her reasons but Sami refused to talk.
Bo and Billie had a Christmas celebration on the roof of her apartment building. Bo gave Billie tickets to a basketball game and she gave him a movie of the month subscription. They danced on the roof and she told Bo how much she enjoyed being with him.

Mickey and Pat Hamilton were waiting for Billie and they saw Bo and Billie together. Pat offered Billie a deal whereby Billie could plead guilty to a lesser charge of manslaughter. Billie asked Mickey for his advice. He suggested that she consider the offer. Abe warned Bo about spending time with Billie. He then told Bo about the D.A.'s offer. Bo was shocked and was even more shocked when Abe told him that Pat was confident of Billie agreeing to the terms of the agreement. Bo rushed to Billie's apartment to try and stop her.

Roman and Marlena tried to get Sami to explain her reasons for kidnapping Belle. Sami refused to talk. When Roman threatened to read her diary, Sami lied and said that she was jealous of the attention Belle received. She explained that she thought Roman and Marlena loved Belle more. Marlena did not accept this as the full story and suggested there was another reason. Sami denied this but agreed to family counselling sessions.

Sami's therapist, Dr Dorman, tried to get Sami to explain her reasons for kidnapping her sisiter. Sami again gave the jealousy reason. In a group session with Roman and Marlena, Sami apologised to Roman for causing him so much pain. After the session, Marlena told Dr Dorman that she knew of the cause of Sami's bulimia and told him of her affair with John. She told Dorman that she was considering confessing to Roman if it meant helping Sami. Dorman reminded Marlena that this confession would affect John, and she should talk to him first.

Stefano approached Marlena at the hospital and expressed his joy that Belle had been returned safely. He questioned Marlena as to why Sami had done it. Before Marlena could answer, John interrupted and told Stefano to leave her alone. Later as Marlena tried to talk to John, Stefano eavesdropped, becoming more convinced that Marlena had a secret.

John and Kristen were talking at the hospital and were seen by Tony. Tony told Kristen that he realised that John was helping her find Belle but now that she was found, there was no reason to spend so much time with him, especially since he was such a bitter enemy of Stefano's. Later Stefano told Tony that he had heard some rumours about John and Kristen.

Bo and Billie spent New Year's Eve at her apartment. Bo tried to convince her to attend the party at Titan but she would not go. They spent the night dancing and Billie realised how much she enjoyed spending time with Bo. She told him that she had decided not to sign the D.A.'s plea bargain.

Carrie attended the party believing she was meeting Lucas about Countess Willhemina business. She stayed at the party with Lucas much to the annoyance of Austin.

Stefano explained to Tony that he had heard how enamoured John was with Kristen. He warned Tony to watch John very closely. While Tony collected the car, kristen told Peter and Stefano what a good man John was and that they should leave him alone. After Kristen left, Stefano told Peter that the key to destroying Kristen's image of John may be in Marlena's secret. He told Peter that he had overheard John and Marlena talking. He got Peter to break into Dorman's office to get Sami's file, which Peter did.

At the party, Marlena told John that Sami knew of their affair and that she was considering telling Roman the truth to help Sami. John was devastated and went to the balcony to think. Kristen saw him there and joined him. Kate was shocked to learn that Laura was at the party and when Jennifer introduced them, Laura did not react much to Kate's relief. Vivian, dressed as a man, with a beard and moustache, arrived at the party unrecognised by anyone. She tried to make contact with Laura but was stopped by an amourous female.

Carrie attended the party believing she was meeting Lucas about Countess Willhemina business. She stayed at the party with Lucas much to the annoyance of Austin.

November 1 - December 3, 1993

The Belle Kidnapping Storyline Begins

Curtis Reed Is Murdered

Bo finally breaks the kiss and Billie tells him the rules say a dollar a kiss. So she owes him nineteen more kisses. Bo says he hates to break the rules and goes in for another. A kid interrupts him and tells him not to hog all the time. Bo goes to talk to Caroline and tell her he's been a selfish jerk. He tells her he took advantage of Billie and he's not ready for love yet. However she talks to him about it and he goes and tried to invite Billie out to dinner. However, he gets interrupted by Mickey and leaves before asking her properly.

Carrie and Austin talk some at the fair....Lucas sulks because Carrie won't talk to him and she spends some time with Alan. Shawn Douglas tells Carrie that Bo is going to make up for not inviting Billie out and she follows him to see Bo give (through Mickey) Billie flowers. Shawn Douglas tells Carrie he has a plan to get them together, but he needs her help.

Kate is at Titan. She gets into the elevator but Curtis puts his hand between the doors and jumps in there with her. He threatens her bodily and threatens to tell Victor the truth about Kate. Kate tells him to stay away from Victor and he says he might go to Lucas too. He tells her that she has to get him the money tonight and that he will find her anywhere, anytime. Kate convinces Victor to take her to the fair. She wants to see Mickey to find out about getting the Countess Wilhemina company. At the fair, she talks to Lucas and tells him to forget everything that she told him about her past. Then she sees Mickey and tells him to serve those papers on Billie tonight. Curtis dodges Peter at the fair and he finds Kate. She doesn't want to talk to him out in the open and takes him off. Austin is walking along with the video camera and sees Curtis's face in the viewfinder for a moment. He is unsettled as he thinks the face is familiar. Curtis threatens to hurt Kate if she doesn't give him the money and Lucas sees him pushing Kate around. Peter comes across Curtis but Abe chases them before he can do anything.

Kate gives Curtis all the money she has on her and tells him that she will call him later. She leaves and Lucas confronts him about what he was talking to Kate about. Curtis doesn't say anything and Lucas goes home and gets an old box of Kate's stuff from the attic. He finds a picture of Kate and Curtis. Kate tells him to destroy the picture and tells him she never wants him to talk about it again. Lucas sees that she's shaking and wants to know if she's seen Curtis lately. She says no. Later she calls Mickey and tells him she's desperate for the money...he has to serve those papers on Billie tonight.

Carrie and Shawn-D decide to throw a party to get Bo and Billie together (it's ostensibly for Bo's birthday). Grandpa Victor is going to spring for it. The theme for the party is romance....and Bo and Billie are to go as Romeo and Juliet. Mickey serves the papers on Billie and tells Billie he saw a stranger outside. She realizes that it was Curtis and goes down to see him. Curtis gives her one of the pieces of Kristen's jewelry to wear to the party but tells her it's not stolen, it's a fake. Billie goes to buy a dress but finds that her Countess Wilhemina checkbook has been frozen so she buys some material and a pattern. Only problem is she can't sew. Roman comes across a picture of Curtis in the Stefano's stuff but doesn't recognize him.

Billie makes a hash of the dress but then Alice turns up. She tells Billie she will help her find something in her wardrobe. Billie comes out looking frumpy and Alice gives her a bag and tells her to try this on. Alice tells Carrie that she went over and borrowed Maggie's machine...as a last resort.

Kate goes to Marlena and tells her that Curtis is back. Marlena asks Kate what she's going to do, this is blackmail. Kate says she is going to pay him off. Marlena tells her that if she does, Curtis will just keep coming back. Kate tells her she knows...that's part of the reasoning she came to see her, she keeps thinking that the only way to get rid of him is to kill him. And that's what she swears she'll do if he threatens her family. Marlena tells her she could never kill anyone. Kate says she hopes to god Marlena is right. Marlena advises her to tell Victor about it all, she might be surprised how understanding he will be. Kate says it's not a matter of that...it's a matter of being able to face him again. She leaves and Marlena tells her to call her any time. Meanwhile, Lucas searches down a stoned Curtis but Curtis runs. Kate arrives at the party, she and Victor are dressed as Bonnie and Clyde. She spots Marlena and Roman, dressed as Cleopatra and Antony. Later, Bo arrives and then Billie as Juliet dressed in a gorgeous costume.

Stefano and Peter arrange to have Curtis found. Stefano says that by tonight he will be out of the picture.

The party continues. Curtis calls Kate and tells her he's on the fourth floor. She goes to meet him and he demands his money. She promises she'll get him the money tonight and she arranges to meet him at the apartment building at midnight. However Lucas follows her and overhears and Victor oversees them on the security monitor. However, later Kate discovers that Billie still has three days to call in the loan so she asks Victor to give her $100,000.

Carrie and Austin talk and Austin thinks Carrie is very cynical about love. She tells him she is just protecting herself, she doesn't want to be his girl among other girls. She asks where Brandee is and he wants to know what she's talking about.

Billie goes out on the balcony and she prays. She knows if she is to have a future with Bo, she has to tell him the truth about Curtis. Bo follows her out to the balcony at the Grill and they kiss. He tells her he's confused and she tells him she isn't, she has feelings for him and she'll wait. He says he can always count on her to be completely honest. She leaves and tells him she'll be back. However Ozzie turns up and tells Bo that they have made a positive id on the gunman and gives him the picture of Curtis. Bo says that they are wrong, Billie couldn't id him. Ozzie tells him the id was definite, Billie must be lying. Billie meanwhile goes to see Curtis and tells him she has to tell Bo the truth. Curtis wants to know about her love for her old man. She tells him she's made a decision about who she loves more, she's sorry. She goes to leave, but Curtis yanks her back and starts yelling at her.

Bo argues with Ozzie for a while, but he wants to talk to Billie. They look for her at Titan, but can't find her. Bo starts to worry and he and Roman leave the party and go looking for her at all her usual hangouts. Meanwhile at the party Austin is getting depressed over Carrie. Jenn turns up and persuades him to leave. The go back to his apartment and watch the video tape from the affair. Austin sees Curtis and decides he must be a double...until he remembers that they never went to a funeral. He tells Jenn that if Curtis were alive he would go to Billie....Downstairs, Curtis tells Billie she fell for all his lies and he was using her. He tries to get her to take a hit but she hears a noise and starts screaming. Curtis silences her, telling her he'll break her neck. Bo and Roman meet up in the basement and Curtis waits till they go. Billie tells him she's glad Bo didn't find her, she'd hate him to find out she's related to scum like him. Curtis tells her Bo only wants her for one thing and tells he she's still a lowlife slut. She has been ever since she was thirteen. And he oughta know, he was her first. He threatens to rape her again but she eventually gets out of there and goes back up to the apartment. She is sitting down with her head in her hands when someone touches her on the shoulder. She jumps, but it's Bo. He, however, wants to know what the hell is going on. Meanwhile, a worried Austin is looking for her and he runs into Wendy. She tells him she's seen Billie going too and from the basement a lot. Austin heads down to the basement and finds Curtis there. He can't believe it and says that Curtis is dead. Curtis tells him his old man is alive and well and living underneath him. Austin tells him that he may be breathing now but once Austin is finished with him he'll wish he was dead.

Sami walks in on Marlena calling the hospital. Belle is jaundiced and needs to have more blood tests. Sami gets a little antsy about the tests and Marlena and Roman want to know why. She says she is just worried about Belle and whether they are safe. Later Marlena and Roman overhear her talking to Jamie saying that no-one can ever find out the truth. She lies and tells them that she was talking to Jamie about the bulimia. They believe her for some unknown reason. Lexie comes by and asks Marlena if she can stay with them and Marlena tells her she can. Later Marlena calls Roman at the station and asks him to come home so she can talk to him. Sami overhears her and comes out after she's on the phone and asks her not to tell Roman about the affair.

Kate gets the money from Victor to take to Curtis. But she discovers that Lucas is not home. Actually, he's at the park and he's just bought a gun.

Austin tells Curtis to stay away from Billie and hits him a couple of times. Upstairs Billie lies to Bo and tells him she's upset over the business. Ozzie turns up and they tell Billie about the positive ID. Billie says she's sorry but she can't ID him and after they leave she goes out for a walk. Austin leaves Curtis and goes upstairs to look for Billie. Carrie tells him she's gone out for a walk. He goes out to look for her but comes back to tell Carrie he can't find her. He goes out again and Carrie grabs her coat and goes out too. Down in the park Billie is walking around. Eventually she comes across Curtis who has just scored. She screams at him that she hated him and he drags her away to the park with his hand over her mouth. In the park he hits her and then injects her with whatever he scored.

Austin goes down to the basement and finds that no-one is there. Carrie comes down and tells him Billie is her friend and she's going to help find her. Curtis does something to Billie and then drags her back to his room. He has another hit but Kate knocks on the door. He covers Billie with a sheet and lets Kate in. Lucas comes a knocking but Curtis threatens to blow him away if Kate makes a noise so he doesn't get any answer and then leaves. Kate tells Curtis to count the money and then says that this nightmare is finally over. Curtis says that it's not over, this is only the first of many payments. Kate tells him the deal is off, he tells her he's going to make her pay and he beats her. She gets home and Victor and Lucas find her all bruised. She tells them she fell down some steps but they don't believe her. They take her up to her room and look after her for a while. Then they both supposedly head for bed and then separately they leave to find Curtis. Kate goes into the bathroom and washes her face before looking at the locket with the pictures of her children. Then she pulls out a gun and checks it. Meanwhile, Billie comes to and collects herself saying Damn you Curtis. Carrie and Austin end up at the pier. Austin sees Curtis and sends Carrie off to the pub. He warns Curtis that if he has touched Billie, he will kill him. Down in the ally, Curtis is about to take a hit of coke when someone raises a gun and shoots him.

Kate gets back and pretends to be asleep when Victor comes in. However, Vic sees the mud on her shoes. Lucas gets home slightly after them and makes out that he's been raiding the refrigerator. Back at the apartment, Austin finds Billie on the floor again.

Billie has a nightmare about killing Curtis on the sofa in the apartment. Austin has been sleeping in the chair and he wakes her up and holds her. He tells her that Curtis will never be able to hurt them again. Carrie comes out and wants to know what happened to Billie. Billie hedges, she can't remember what happened. Later she remembers Curtis injecting her. Austin says that he swore he hadn't touched her. Down in the ally Bo helps Wendy take some boxes down and they find Curtis' body. The police arrive and Carrie comes down. Billie and Austin follow her down and when they eventually turn the body over, Billie faints. Roman sees a footprint in the blood and recognizes It a s a woman's high heel. Austin takes her back upstairs and tells her that all they have to do is forget about Curtis. As long as no-one knows Curtis was their father, they'll be fine. However, Billie thinks she may have been the one to kill Curtis and her missing shoes might be the key. Meanwhile Kate admits to Victor that the dead man was the man that beat her last night and the one that beat her in the past. Victor tells her that no-one else will never know and that this will be their secret. Lucas overhears and says that no-one else will ever know.

Roman, Bo and John learned from Interpol that Curtis used to work for Stefano. They also found Kristen's jewels in the basement of Carrie, Billie and Austin's building. Roman and John concluded that Stefano hired Curtis to shoot John in the parking lot and Curtis betrayed Stefano by abducting him, Kristen payed the ransom with her jewels and Stefano wanted revenge on Curtis and had him killed.

Billie is still convinced that she is responsible for Curtis's murder but Austin keeps insisting that she could not have killed anyone. He further insisted that Billie not tell anyone that they knew Curtis as it could lead to them being suspects. Austin, Billie, Carrie, Alan and Bo were having dinner when Bo got a call from a cop in the alley. Bo ran down to see that the cop had found a piece of blue material which Bo recognized as being from Billie's dress.

Marlena told Sami that she would not tell Roman the truth about her affair with John, after seeing how Abe could not forgive Lexie for betraying him. Sami was relieved but later a friend of hers from the hospital told her there had been a goof-up with Belle's blood tests. Sami questioned this and the guy explained that the tests would indicate that Sami and Belle had different fathers.

Sami's friend from the hematology department was about to check Belle's blood tests but Sami pulled the plug on the computer, losing the data from the tests. He claimed he was too busy to do anything about the tests and finally accepted that there had been a mistake in this run of tests. Sami was relieved but Jamie pointed out that there was always the possibility of more tests being run in the future.

Bo found that the piece of material found in the alley matched exactly a hole in Billie's dress. Bo asked Billie how the tear happened. Billie was about to answer when Austin returned. He told Bo that Billie had tripped and tore her dress when they were returning to the building at 11.00pm. While Austin was saying this, Bo saw the cut on Billie's hand. Austin explained that Billie cut it when she fell. It doesn't look as if Bo believes them.

Austin prepared to throw out all his father possessions so no one would be able to make the connection between Curtis and he and Billie. Jennifer arrived and Austin told her that the murdered man was his father. Jen told Austin that the police were after any information about the murder and tried to get him to go to the police. Austin told Jen that he wouldn't and that he and Billie were better off with no one knowing. Jen then agreed not to say anything to anyone, especially the police. She encouraged Austin to get rid of any ties between him and Curtis.

Jen told Alice that the private detective that Jo had hired to find Jack had found nothing but she was considering hiring him to find Austin's mother. Alice did not think this was a good idea. Jennifer stole Austin's mother wedding ring in hopes that it would be a lead to finding her. Wendy told Austin and Jennifer that Jonah had been arrested for being the Pacifier and the three of them told Jonah they would all do anything to help. Austin suggested that he and Jen do a show on Jonah. Jen loved the idea and Jonah was happy that they were all supporting him.

Abe warned Bo not to let his feelings for Billie interfere with the Curtis investigation. He ordered Bo to collect the Juliet dress so that tests could be run on it. Billie continued to express her doubts over her guilt. She could not remember anything and was afraid she was guilty. Billie threw the dress in the trash where it was picked up by a bag lady.

Wendy accidentally let Carrie know that she had heard Billie arguing with someone in the alley on the night of the murder.

Bo questioned Austin, Billie and Carrie about their actions the night that Curtis was murdered. Austin told Bo that he and Billie had been together all night except for a few minutes when he was with Carrie. Bo asked Carrie whether this was true and she backed up Austin's story even though she knew it was a lie. Bo then asked Billie what she was doing for those moments when she was alone and Billie told him that she could not remember. Bo told Austin and Carrie to leave. Austin did not want to but Billie told him to. Bo told Billie that he cared for her and he was starting to have feelings for her. He, again, asked her what she was doing and she answered she could not remember. Bo asked her if she could not remember because she was drunk. Billie told him that was not it. Billie was rubbing her arm while talking to Bo and he noticed this. He asked her if she was on drugs and she did not answer. He asked again then grabbed her arm and pushed up the sleeve. He saw the needle mark and was appalled.

Bo left Billie's apartment disappointed that she had returned to drugs. Austin arrived and Billie once again told him that she fears she may have killed Curtis. Austin told Billie that she couldn't kill anyone and Billie claimed that she had wished him dead for the things he had done to her. Austin questioned this and Billie told Austin the sad truth that Curtis had raped her repeatedly as a teenager. Austin was horrified and swore to his sister that he would never let anyone hurt her again.

Carrie asked Roman whether there were any leads in the case and he told her there were none. A homeless woman who found Billie's dress in the bin handed it in at the police station. Tests showed that there were fibres from Curtis's clothes all over Billie's dress prompting Bo to go to Billie's apartment with a search warrant and telling Billie she was the prime suspect. On Smith Island, Kristen ran away from the cabin and fell over a cliff. She was hanging on to a branch near the top. John used his shirt as a rope but as she grabbed it, she started to slip and fall.

Jennifer told Alice that she was determined to find Austin's mother. Alice warned her that she should leave the past alone. Jennifer ignored the warning and continued her search for the jewelery store that sold the wedding ring.

Vivian visited Laura again in hopes of getting a response from her. Laura did not speak or move and Vivian left a copy of Bella magazine, opened to a photo of Kate, with Laura. After Viv left, Laura started to screw the photo up. Marlena noticed that Kate had bruising on her face and Kate confided that the man from her past had beaten her once more. Marlena was concerned but Kate told him the man was now dead. Marlena overheard Kate talking to her banker and realised that Kate was going to pay off Curtis but she hadn't. Later at the hospital, Kate saw Jennifer and said something about being sorry that Jennifer had to grow up without her mother. Marlena asked Kate if Laura Horton knew Kate's secret. Kate decided to tell Marlena her secret and Marlena was astonished.

Bo and another cop searched Billie's apartment and found a gun in Billie's drawer. Bo had no choice but to take Billie to the station for questioning. The gun had Billie's prints and no one else's on it. Billie had no memory of ever seeing the gun before and had no idea how it ended up in her drawer. She told Austin of her dream where she shot Curtis but he told her to forget about it.

Carrie ran into Tony for the first time since he arrived back in Salem. He was pleased to see her and amazed at how much she had grown up. He wanted to buy her a coffee but she was on her way to Roman and Marlena's for Thanksgiving dinner and asked him to join her there. At the Brady house, Shawn was in the middle of talking about Stefano and how evil he is when Tony walked in. Marlena managed to convince Tony that their feelings for Stefano were different to their feelings for him and they still wanted to be friends with him. Tony stayed and later Marlena begged Tony to talk to Stefano to ask him to leave her, her family and John alone.

Caroline told everyone that a neighbour, Mrs Potter, had commented on the fact that Brady and Isabella looked like brother and sister. Caroline said that she had told Mrs Potter that they were not related. Sami panicked, knowing that they were related and that if more people saw this resemblance someone may figure out that John was Belle's father.

Austin and Billie hired Mickey as Billie's lawyer. Mickey told them he would need to know everything about the murder. Billie told Mickey that she was on heroin that night and remembered nothing. Austin would not let her tell Mickey that Curtis gave her the heroin or that Curtis was their father. Later Billie realised that Austin did not have an alibi for the time Curtis was killed. She became determined not to say anything, afraid that if the truth came out, Austin would be a suspect.

A drug dealer told Roman and Bo that he sold two lots of drugs to Curtis that night. The first was cocaine ( which was in Curtis's system according to a toxicology report) and the second buy was heroin. Bo remembered the needle marks on Billie's arm. The initial ballistics report was inconclusive and a more accurate result would arrive in a couple of days.

Victor told Kate and Lucas that his sources had told him the police consider Billie to be the prime suspect in the Curtis Brown murder case. Victor told Kate that he wanted to help Billie but Kate was unimpressed.

Lucas remembered that he had shown Carrie a picture of Curtis the night he was murdered and worried that she may make the connection. He went to see her and found that she did not realize the man in the photo was the murdered man.

Carrie told Marlena that she would not come to Thanksgiving dinner as she was having it with Billie and Austin at their apartment. Marlena invited them all over to her house and they all agreed. Billie confided in Marlena that she could not remember anything from that night. Marlena suggested hypnosis but Billie rejected this idea. Bo told Marlena that he believed Billie to be innocent and wanted to prove it. After Thanksgiving dinner, Bo and Billie went outside to talk and make a wish on the wishbone. Inside a policeman arrived with the ballistics report.

John had a dream that Kristen came to him and told him she loved him and not Tony. Later Marlena invited John to join the Brady's at her house. He was to meet Victor and Kate later but agreed to stop by for a little while. His arrival at the house caused aggravation for Sami.

Victor found that Lucas had been issued a speeding ticket the night Curtis was murdered. Victor wanted to know why Lucas had gone out. Lucas admitted that he was out and told Victor when he returned he had noticed that Victor's car was warm, meaning that he had also been out.

The ballistics report arrived at Roman's house at Thanksgiving dinner. Austin asked to be allowed to see it. Outside Bo and Billie talked about rewriting history and what they would do if they had met under different circumstances. Roman interrupted to announce the report had arrived. Bo read it and told Billie that the gun they found in her drawer was the murder weapon. Roman offered to take Bo off the case but Bo asked to be kept on it so he could prove that Billie was innocent. Bo arrested Billie and read her her rights. He didn't want to cuff her but Billie told him she understood he was only doing his job. At the police station she was fingerprinted and photographed.

At the Brady house, Carrie told Austin she was surprised that he did not spend the holiday with Brandee. Austin was confused by this but did not have the opportunity to respond as they were interrupted by Marlena.

Austin realised that he would need to raise money for Billie's bail, even though it had not been set yet. Carrie had the same idea. While talking, the subject of Brandee came up and Carrie told Austin that she knew Brandee was at the cabin with him. Austin told Carrie that he had not invited her and that nothing happened between them. Brandee arrived back from Milan and Austin told her to tell Carrie nothing happened between them. Lucas told Brandee not to say anything to Carrie.

Carrie asked Kate to give Billie back her company, so she could use it to raise money for legal expenses. Kate refused. Lucas managed to talk Kate into allowing Carrie to remain working for Countess Willhemina and carrie was grateful to Lucas for this. Austin asked Kate for a job, playing piano at the penthouse grill, to raise money for Billie. Kate reluctantly agreed but told Austin she was doing it for him and not for Billie. Austin also asked Jennifer for her support in asking the studio bosses for an advance in his salary. Jen readily agreed.

Jennifer tracked down the Mr Patterson who owned the jewellery store in Chicago that sold Austin's mother's wedding ring.

Stefano visited Marlena in her office and through conversation believes she is keeping a secret. Later he asked to speak to Sami and pretended he did not know she was Roman and Marlena's daughter.

Sami panicked when she found out Isabella's blood tests were to be repeated to find the source of error in the original results. Later Jamie told Sami about a friend of theirs from high school who had had a baby and was now arranging a private adoption of the child.

While Roman and John were questioning Stefano and Peter, some papers fell on the floor. A drawing of a woman outside a house caused John to go into a trance. After waking from this, he attacked Stefano threatening to kill him. Peter and Roman broke up the fight. Later John realised that a white stud found at the murder scene was part of a hospital bracelet. He and Roman discovered that Stefano needed a new bracelet the morning after Curtis's murder.

Sami overheard a hospital worker tell Marlena that Belle's blood tests would be repeated the following day. Sami also visited her friend who had just given her baby up for adoption to lend her support.

Billie had the nightmare about shooting Curtis again. Bo saw her and asked what she had been dreaming about but she lied saying she could not remember. Later she told Austin that she intended on pleading guilty at her arraignment that afternoon. Austin couldn't convince her this was a bad idea and told Bo, hoping that he would be able to convince her to change her mind.

Roman and Marlena went out to dinner at the penthouse grill leaving Sami to look after Belle.

Sami was worrying about the blood tests the following day which would show that Roman was not Belle's father. She was worried that this news would destroy her father and she voiced her hatred for Marlena and John and their affair. After Sami put Belle to bed, an unknown person dressed in black broke into the room and went to Belle's crib.

Billie told Bo that she was pleading guilty because she wasn't sure if she did kill Curtis. Bo pleaded with her to enter a plea of not guilty and to give him the chance to prove her innocence. Billie did plea not guilty, much to the relief of Bo, Austin, Carrie, Jonah, Shawn and Caroline. The assistant DA, Pat Hamilton, asked the judge to deny bail. Mickey told the judge that Billie had no history of violent crimes and posed no flight risk. The judge set bail for 1 million dollars. Billie's friends lamented on their inability to raise such an amount while Bo walked off. Later Sean and Caroline told billie that they had paid her bail but Billie could not believe that they had been able to raise the money. Shawn admitted that it was Bo who had paid the bail. Billie went to Bo's boat and worked out that Bo must have mortgaged the boat to raise the money. She asked him why he had done that. He answered that he thought she would know by now and kissed her.

October 6, 1993 - October 29, 1993

Alan Harris Storyline Begins/Curtis Reed Murder Storyline Begins/ Jack Leaves Jenn And Austin Comforts Her /Belle Brady (Black) Born

Austin goes to see Billie to let off steam about Jenn's situation. Billie thinks he may be starting to have feelings for Jenn. Billie gets a call from Curtis. He tells her he's in Salem and he needs her help.

Marlena gets news that the baby will be just fine, but when Sami wants to know what they are talking about Marlena tells her that it's nothing that she has to worry about. Sami does worry though as Roman tries to persuade Marlena to go away to the medical conference. However she manages to get the truth out of Jenn and Austin. Jamie suspects that there was something up but Sami tells her to leave it.

Billie promises Curtis she'll get him the money and she asks Carrie to release the checkbook to her. When Carrie gets out of the shower later, Billie tells her that Roman called and asked her to meet them and it was important. Carrie goes over to the house and they tell her that Stefano is alive. Carrie is shocked and Roman tries to convince her to move back home but Carrie doesn't want to. Austin arrives at the apartment and he and Billie discuss their lost loves and then Jenn. Billie tries to convince Austin to go over to Jenn's. (Oh yeah, she's not trying to get rid of you Austin!) He leaves and Curtis walks out of the bedroom and tells her he came up the fire escape. He tells her that Austin arrives back at Jenn's with some chicken soup and tells her that someone has to take care of her.

Billie meets Austin for breakfast and tries to decide what to do about her new knowledge. Austin heads over to Jenn's where Jo finds the letter from Jack upstairs on Jenn's dresser. Austin reads it out to them and in it Jack explains that he was the one responsible for the toxic waste dumping that gave Abby her Aplastic Anemia and that she needs someone better than him so he's left. Austin wants to go find Jack but Jenn won't let him. She says if Jack comes back he has to come back by himself. Austin comforts Jenn over Jack and then tells her that Carly is alive. Curtis pays Billie a visit and scams some more money off her saying he's going to get out of town.

Victor gets into Kate's office but Curtis gets under the desk. Kate doesn't tell Victor the truth about what's happened and she gets him out of there. Curtis tells Kate he wants money. What else? Kate asks him to give her a day so she can dispose of some assets to get the cash. Later Billie and Kristen bump into each other and talk....yadda yadda yadda. Billie leaves and Carrie joins Kristen. More yadda. It's all yadda making. Carrie eventually tells Kristen that maybe she can talk to Marlena and Marlena can explain her reaction to Stefano. At the cabin Marlena tries the phone again but realizes that it's dead. She's trying to convince herself it's a false alarm as she can't do this by herself. She hears the ferry whistle and goes outside but she doesn't get far. Kristen heads down to Smith Island where she finds Marlena outside the cabin. Marlena tells her she thinks the baby is coming. Kristen says that it's too early. Marlena says she knows it is. Kristen helps her back to the cabin and then takes off down to the ferry to see if she can catch it before it heads back to the mainland. However she gets back and tells Marlena that the ferry has already gone. Marlena says then they are stuck here until Roman comes. She has another contraction and gets Kristen to time it.

At the cabin, Marlena tells Kristen she may have to hang around to help deliver the baby. She asks Kristen to distract her and asks her about John. She tells Kristen that John is the most honest kindest man she knows and Kristen asks her if she's still in love with John. Kristen then apologizes. Kristen asks her about what Stefano has done and tells Marlena that Stefano has no reason to lie, he just made his final confession to a priest. Marlena tells Kristen that Stefano would lie to God himself and then she has her strongest contraction yet. John arrives and Kristen tells him Marlena is in labour. He asks if it could be a false labour and she tells him her waters have already broken, this is the real thing. John takes charge and he and Marlena talk as Kristen slips out of the room. She realizes that Roman must have never gotten the message and thinks that it's ironic that John is there and not Roman, seeing as he could have been the baby's father. John tells her he wanted to be the baby's father, but he's not. Roman is and that's the way it should be. They talk about Kristen and that situation and Marlena urges John to talk to Kristen. Outside, Kristen prays, saying that it doesn't matter who was lying now, was long as Marlena and the baby are alright. John overhears the last part and says to her that he doesn't know the DiMera's prayed. They argue again but Marlena's screams make John rush into the cabin. She has a really bad contraction and John thinks it's over but it continues. She grabs him and says that she's been here before, she knows what this means. The baby is coming. Marlena wants to push, but John won't let her. They go through several contractions but Kristen tells them that it's not time for her to push yet. John makes Marlena focus on him as she breathes through a contraction. Once again she wants to push, but they are not sure she's fully dilated so John makes her breath through the contraction. Finally Kristen sees the baby's head and John swaps places with her and tells Marlena to push. He encourages her and finally the baby is born. John tells her it's not a boy, it's a little girl. Marlena says 'he's a she?' Later Marlena is holding and talking to her little girl and John and Kristen talk. They go outside and Kristen is warbling on about all the good in the world and John tells her to listen. She says she doesn't hear anything. John says that's just it, why don't they hear Marlena and the baby. Kristen tells him Marlena was exhausted, she's probably sleeping. John shakes his head and tell her that something is wrong. They go back inside and see Marlena sleeping peacefully. John smiles and crouches down, but as he goes to touch the baby, he realizes she's not breathing. John takes the baby and gives her mouth to mouth. Marlena wakes up and Kristen tells her that the baby has stopped breathing. Marlena wants to help but she can barely walk and Kristen catches her as she falls. John eventually gets the baby breathing and hands her back to Marlena. Marlena tells him that it was right that he was here to give the baby life.

Jenn and Austin pay Victor a visit and Jenn tells Victor she is going to uncover the truth about Victor's involvement. Jenn and Austin leave and go to a hill overlooking Salem where they talk about Laura. Alan is over at Carrie's apartment, they have a biology lab together and are studying. Billie comes home and he leaves as Billie tells Carrie about Bo and Carly splitting up. Carrie decides that Billie should be the one helping Bo get over Carly. Carrie and Billie arrange to go to the Cheatin' Heart and Carrie calls Roman and gets him to bring Bo over to meet 'her'. Bo walks into the Heart and tells Bo there's lots of memories there. Roman tells Bo that somewhere out there, there's a woman for him but Bo says that the last thing he needs now is to get involved. Carrie and Billie arrive and Carrie takes Roman aside to give Bo and Billie a few moments together. They end up slow dancing, thanks to Carrie's skilful manipulation. Carrie fights with Lucas and leaves with Alan so Bo offers to take Billie home.

Back at the house, Roman gets home and he, Sami and Jamie realize that Marlena is not there. Alice comes over in her robe when she sees all the lights on and tells Roman that Marlena had gone to the cabin and had wanted him to come. She tells him that Kristen may be there with her. Roman calls her cell phone number but finds it's dead and calls the forest service instead. They send out a helicopter to pick up Marlena and the rest and they call Roman from the air to give him the news. They all head for the hospital where Sami starts to get nervous about the tests they are going to run on the new baby. Roman suggests to Marlena that they call the baby Isabella and Marlena agrees. Sami isn't too happy when she overhears it but when they ask John he loves the idea. They toast to Isabella Brady. In the staff lounge, Sami tells Jamie that she switched the blood tests. Roman is not the baby's father, John is. Back in the bedroom, Roman holds the baby and then John.

Bo takes Billie home and they watch the tape from LA. He leaves and Billie is thrilled but Curtis comes back. He tells Billie he's in trouble and he needs somewhere to stay while he waits for a windfall. She wants to know what it is and he just tells her that it's money owing from an old friend. Billie tells him he can stay in the basement, but he steals they key to 3Dwhile she's not looking.

Everyone comes in to see Marlena and the baby. Roman calls Bo and Abe and they come in, Carrie and Billie also head in. Carrie does her best to encourage Billie to ask Bo out. Billie tries to but chickens out at the last moment. Back in Marlena's hospital room, Sami gets upset when she sees John holding Belle. Later Marlena tells her she knows shy she was so upset. Must have reminded her of seeing Marlena and John in the conference room. She tells Sami that's all over now and John has been a good friend to them. She asks Sami to forgive them for their mistake. Roman comes in and the nurse brings in the preliminary results. The baby is healthy but the final results are yet to come. Sami is still nervous.

Billie and Carrie discover that their stereo is gone and Carrie's jewelry is gone but Billie doesn't want Austin to call the police. Billie suddenly remembers her necklace from Bo and discovers it's gone. Austin calls the police and Billie goes to find Curtis. She finds him downstairs out on heroin and demands to know where her necklace is. Upstairs Bo arrives and discovers that the key is missing. Austin heads downstairs to find Billie and 'the super'. Billie hears Austin and leaves to go upstairs with him. However Bo heads down to find the super and Curtis has his gun ready.

Billie comes downstairs and distracts Bo telling him that the super is on the roof. Billie arranges to meet Bo and S-D at the fair. Billie for some reason tells Curtis he can stay there until he gets the money he's owed. Billie heads off to the fair and gets involved in singing while food is being thrown at her.

Back at the Brady house Roman is taking a picture of Sami and Belle and Marlena. He comments that looking at them he can't believe they're his. He talks about how Isabella looks like Sami and Marlena says yes, they have the same lips. Roman says the baby's smile is hers but then says that her eyes aren't like either of theirs. Sami says of course they're like his...she thinks the baby looks a lot like him. Roman and Marlena go upstairs to lie down and Sami tells Belle that she loves her and will keep her secret.

September 4- October 1, 1993

Sami Confronts Marlena
About The Affair

The Skin Graft Works

Sami Stops Carrie
From Making Love To Lucas

Lucas manages to swap the contracts so that Brandee is going to Milan and stops her before she tells Carrie anything. Downstairs, Kate is getting ready but has the jitters. Marlena asks her if it's just pre-wedding jitters. Kate tells Marlena about her encounter with Vivian and says that she always thought that Victor was a man that didn't show emotion, but she has no reason not to believe Vivian. She finishes getting ready and Lucas comes and picks her up. They head up to the Penthouse Grille. Bo doesn't ask Billie why she's at the club, just asks her to ID Curtis as the gunman. She says it's not him and Bo ends up leaving. Curtis thanks her and buys her a beer. She doesn't want it and gets upset and tells him she hates what he's done to her - making her lie to someone she really cares about. She says she's going to tell Bo the truth, but Curtis begs her not to. Billie says she won't, on the condition that he goes to the rehab clinic. She takes him and books him in there.

Carrie and Lucas arrive back at Victor's and Lucas wants to do something special and romantic for his mother. Carrie shares her most romantic fantasy - her wedding night with candles...(usual Salem set-up). They set up a champagne supper for Victor and Kate but when they get home, Kate takes Lucas aside and tells him that he's all she has. Lucas and Carrie leave and Kate and Victor head upstairs.

Marlena asks Sami how her therapy is going, but Roman overhears. Sami lies and tells him she's seeing a nutritionist. Roman says that if her mother thinks she should then that's fine by him. He goes off to make a drink and Sami thanks Marlena for not telling him. Mar says that she didn't tell him because his friend has just died. But she thinks he should know - Sami needs his support and his love right now. Sami says the therapy is going just fine but Dr. Dorman says she needs to learn herself a bit more. Marlena tells her she does and she has to let them love her - she has to open up. She hugs Sami but Sami pulls away and says she has volunteer duty. Jamie turns up and Sami goes upstairs to get her stuff. Marlena asks Jamie if she knows about the bulimia and asks her to be a good friend and try and help Sami through this. Jamie says that she will. Sami comes back down and grabs her stuff off the table, but she leaves her diary there. Later Marlena is in the kitchen when Roman finds the book. He opens the front of it wondering what it is when Marlena comes out and tells him he can't read Sami's diary. He says he wasn't going to now that he's worked out what he is. She sits down with him and he tells her he's thankful they don't have the kind of daughter that you have to read her diary to find out what she's hiding from you. He starts talking about how lucky he feels. At the hospital Sami has a session and she asks Jamie to get her some food. Jamie is trying to refuse as the doctor comes out. They go in but the doctor knows that she's hiding something important. She tells him she's not keeping her feelings bottled up - she writes them down in her diary. She looks in her bag for the diary but realizes she left it at home on the table. She says...if her parents read it...and then she rushes out of the session.

Marlena contemplates the diary as she sits on the couch. She reads snatches of the first page in between closing the cover to agonize over whether she's doing the right thing. Roman and Abe come in and she hides the diary beneath some cushions. They go out to a call about the Pacifier and Marlena continues to torture herself with the diary. Meanwhile Sami is rushing to get home. She walks in the door to find Marlena on the couch with the diary in her hands. Marlena starts to say she's sorry, but Sami blurts out that she couldn't help herself could she - she just had to read it - and now she knows the truth - that Sami's only problem is with her. Marlena doesn't understand what Sami is talking about and tells her she didn't read the diary. Sami realizes that she's blown it big time as Marlena pressures her to tell her what she did to make Sami so angry. Sami says she can't talk about it. Marlena says she has to tell her before she goes crazy. Sami won't and Marlena says then she has no option but to arrange a family session with Dr. Dorman. Sami says she can't do that - she promised she wouldn't tell Dad. Marlena tells her she promised she wouldn't tell him without telling Sami first. Well consider yourself told kid! Sami begs her not to tell Roman who walks in the door at that very moment. Sami pretends that everything is fine and then takes off back to the hospital. Marlena and Roman sit down to lunch but Roman can see there's something bothering Marlena. He gently asks her what it is and she begins to cry. Back at the hospital, Sami talks Jamie into getting her a candy bar, but as soon as she leaves the room, Sami collapses on the floor.

At the house, Roman asks Marlena again what's wrong and she just passes it off as being a very pregnant day. He thanks her again for giving him the chance to start over with this new baby and talks about Sami, Carrie and Eric. Marlena just wishes she could have been there for them more. Roman asks if there's a problem with her and Sami and she just says a little snag, but they'll sort it out. She goes into the kitchen and Roman answers the door. Jamie comes in and tells him all about the bulimia, saying that she didn't know what else to do and she hopes that he will be able to help Sami. Roman reminds her that Sami's mother is a psychiatrist and Jamie says that she knows Marlena has been trying to help Sami but Sami just refuses to admit there's anything wrong. Roman is shocked that Marlena knew and when Marlena comes out of the kitchen with drinks she realizes what's up. Roman can't believe she didn't tell him about something this important, especially when she knew how upset he was when she kept Carrie's secrets from him. Marlena tries to tell him that she was trying to get Sami to see a doctor but he's too upset to really listen. Sami comes home and Roman tells her he's going to make everything all right. He tells her knows about the bulimia, but she tries to deny it. Then she rushes to a chair and hides her face. Marlena tells Roman to go away - she'll talk to Sami about this. He walks out on her, still disbelieving of the fact she kept this from him. Marlena goes to speak to Sami and tries to tell her that she didn't tell Roman. Sami says if she doesn't leave her alone she's going to hear a few home truths and then Sami won't be the only one who is sorry. Marlena wants to know what that means and Sami says she wants to know why she broke her word and told Dad. Marlena says that she didn't. Sami accuses her of lying and Marlena says she's not - she knows she's always been honest with her. Sami says Honest? She knows that's what Marlena would like everybody to believe, she knows she's not the perfect wife and mother everybody would like to think she is. Marlena asks what she's implying now. Sami yells that she knows what Marlena did. She knows she slept with John. She saw her.

Marlena is bewildered and says Sami can't have known. Sami says she did because she saw them the night of the Titan party. Marlena sits down on the sofa in shock as Sami screams that she'll never forgive her for this. She wants to know how Marlena could do this - especially to Dad. She went behind his back and she cheated on him. And yet she smiles at him and she hugs him and she looks him in the face and she sleeps next to him every night, knowing what she did. She turns away from Marlena and says she used to look up to her, she used to think she was just about the most perfect person in the world. That hits hard and Marlena begins to cry. And then Sami turns round and tells her she's just a slut. Meanwhile Roman goes down to the pier and Carrie sees him there. Roman tells her he's tried to make up the time he lost with his kids, to be a good father and Carrie tells him he has. Roman asks really? So why is everyone keeping everything from him? He tells her he knows about Sami's bulimia and Carrie tries to explain to him that Sami refused to go and see a therapist if Marlena told him. She adds that Marlena probably would have told him anyway - but with Richie dying she felt he had enough to deal with. Roman says but what about her - she's pregnant and dealing with this problem all alone? He says he's going to go and apologize to her and that they'll all help Sami. Back at the house Marlena is holding herself up on a piece of furniture as Sami continues tearing into her. She wants to know if Marlena is shocked that she called her a slut? Because she is. A tear rolls down Marlena's cheek as Sami tells her she has no morals at all - she didn't even care where she did it. They didn't even lock the door, she and John were so anxious to get at one another. Sami accuses her of not even thinking about her family for one minute. She asks if John is more important than them. Marlena immediately says no, she loves her family. Sami yells then how could she do this. Not once but twice? Marlena looks shocked. Sami says - the day of your anniversary Mom, remember? I heard you and John talking about it. Marlena can't say anything, she has tears falling down her cheeks and she turns and walks away from Sami shaking her head. Sami follows her screaming why? She's gotta tell her, she's gotta know. She says that all this time she's been thinking that maybe she had a reason, maybe John forced her or she had too much to drink and it just happened. But that's not true is it? Marlena finally turns round, absolutely devastated and whispers no. She shakes her head and tells Sami that it's over, she swears that it's over. Sami, almost as upset as her mother, asks what difference that makes? She did it. Marlena reaches out to her but Sami brushes her off and storms away. She says Dad loves her so much, he'd do anything for her, and she betrayed him. Marlena says that she can't justify what she's done, she can't justify any of it, but she loves Sami's Daddy, she loves this family, and she loves her. Sami whirls around and puts her hands over her ears, *screaming* that she doesn't want to hear it. Marlena is almost beside herself as Sami tells her she's just a liar. Marlena's tears increase as she says - Oh my God, Sami, All you've gone through, all you've suffered with, and this bulimia. Oh God, it's my fault. She puts her hands over her face and then goes to Sami, saying she'll make it better. Sami brushes her off Marlena tells her there will be no more secrets - no more lies. She cries that she'll tell Roman everything. Sami turns around in shock saying What? You can't do that. Marlena says she has to tell Roman, Sami has suffered too much. If she tells him then they can work on this together as a family. Sami hits back saying they won't be a family, he'll hate her for what she did and he'll hate Sami for telling her. Just then Roman pulls up and Sami begs Marlena not to tell him. She threatens to make herself sicker if Marlena tells Roman and rubs it in by saying that she fainted today at the hospital. Carrie and Roman come in and Roman hugs Sami and tells her everything is going to be okay. He has to admit he was a bit thrown when Jamie come and told him about this. Sami asks Jamie told him and turns and looks at Marlena. Roman apologizes to Marlena for being angry with her and she apologizes for not telling him. Roman says the most important thing is no more secrets - they can forget about it and move on. Marlena and Sami look at each other. Roman asks if she's okay, she looks a little pale. Marlena say she and the baby are just fine but then she has to sit down. Sami tells Roman she's sorry, she didn't want to see him get hurt. Marlena suggests that Sami goes to bed and Carrie goes up with her. Roman tells her that everything will be okay and Sami says she hopes so as she looks at Marlena. Marlena, tears in her eyes, says she hopes so too.

Austin goes down to the University sign-up which seems to be at Salem Place and Carrie sees him there. Then later she and Lucas run into Lucas's old military school friend Alan Harris. When Carrie goes, Alan reminds him that he used to be after every new girl and Lucas says he's changed now - Carrie is the only one for him. Later he meets up with Carrie again and they go to the hospital so she can get the verdict on her graft. Meanwhile, Frank Galway comes and asks Jamie if Sami will be in today as he needs that book from her. He says he'll go by her house and pick it up on his lunch break. Jamie calls Sami to warn her but Sami is less than thrilled about her ratting to Roman. However she tells Jamie to stall Frank and she'll get the book there as soon as she can - she can't let Marlena know that she was snooping around the paternity tests. She throws everything in her bag but then worries as to why Marlena and Roman aren't downstairs yet. Upstairs Marlena has a dream, but it's actually a memory of what happened last night. She wakes in tears and Roman is concerned. He tells her she can't blame herself for everything that goes wrong in this family and she can't carry around all this guilt. He tells her that he wants there to be no more secrets and sees that she's uncomfortable. He asks her if there's something more about Sami that he doesn't know. Marlena says it's not about Sami. He asks what then? Marlena says she thinks he knows how much she loves him and he tells her it's her love that keeps him going. She tells him she feels blessed by his love and she doesn't deserve it. Roman gently asks her what's going on and she prepares to tell him. Except Sami is listening at the door and bursts in saying that she had the urge to eat and she was afraid that she would binge. Later downstairs Marlena arranges to take Sami to the hospital and they talk about the baby. Marlena tells Sami that she knows it must have been traumatic for her but she hopes that she can put this indiscretion behind her. She wants Sami to know that it's been hell for her, keeping this secret and it's worse now Sami knows. But she reassures Sami that this baby is Roman's and she's telling Sami this because she doesn't want Sami to bear the baby any grudges. Sami tells Marlena that she will be the best big sister. Marlena tells her she doesn't want her to worry that the baby is John's - she had tests done and it is Roman's. Sami doesn't exactly look surprised or over the moon about the news. They hug and then head for the hospital. Sami rushes up and gives the text to Frank, but Frank sees Marlena and tells her that he wanted to talk to her about Sami. Marlena says oh? Frank tells her that he thinks Sami is a very special young woman and does Marlena know that in her spare time, Sami has been learning all she can about hematology? Marlena says no she didn't, and what is all that about?

Marlena asks Sami again what this is about and Sami passes it off as Frank exaggerating. Marlena apologizes for pressuring her and tells Sami she's always harbored a secret desire that one of her children will go into medicine. Austin sees Carrie and Lucas kissing and Lucas gets pissed off. He tells her he'll wait for her while she gets the bandages off. Marlena comes in with Carrie to see Dr. Phelps. Meanwhile Lucas dins Sami in the staff lounge eating a large sandwich. He asks her about her diet and Sami tells him to get lost. Jamie comes in and tells him to get lost too and he leaves. However he stands outside the door and hears Sami and Jamie talking about the bulimia. He comes back into the room and apologizes, but Sami is upset that he knows and tells him to leave her alone. Austin talks to Frank Galway who has results of his research on these childhood diseases. Frank tells him he'll print it up and send it to him. Austin heads off home and Frank says to himself that someone else may want to know these results. In Dr. Phelps office, he removes Carrie's bandage and tells her that the graft has taken very well. She and Marlena are thrilled and she rushes off to tell Lucas. They head up to lookout point where they start making out. Marlena finds Sami and tells her the news. Sami is thrilled but then says she at least has one perfect daughter now. They are interrupted by a nurse who tells Marlena that Dr. Galway is looking for her. Sami finds Jamie again and Jamie tells her that she had to tell Roman about the bulimia because she was afraid for Sami. She tells Sami she's never told about any other of the secrets Sami has told her - like Marlena and John and Sami trying to find out whether the baby was John's or her Dad's. She looks at Sami and asks if the baby is her Dad's. Sami says of course it is. Marlena finds Frank Galway in the staff lounge and he tells her that he's been doing some research and he has reason to think that she should take some more blood tests.

Carrie and Lucas get a little hot and heavy but then Carrie asks him to stop. She tells him she's not ready yet, this is going too fast and also tells him that she's still a virgin. He respects her for that and says that as long as they are being honest, he has something to say too. He tells her that he has done a lot of things he's not proud of, things that she wouldn't like. Then he tells her about his advising Sami to diet and says he feels really guilty about it. Carrie tells him not to, there are a lot of reasons why Sami became bulimic, and she's really angry about something, but Carrie doesn't know what. Lucas takes her back to the apartment and they kiss again but as soon as Carrie closes the door, she pulls out a picture of Austin. Meanwhile, Curtis is buying a one-way ticket for Salem.

Lucas talks Carrie into going for a picnic with him. He tells Kate he has real feelings for Carrie and Carrie goes off on an errand. She meets Carrie back in her apartment to give her some make-up samples. When Sami is in the bedroom, Carrie pulls out a box of condoms. She heads off and meets Lucas at the pub and they go off to the river. Lucas tells her he is serious about her and if she wants to go he'll understand. She doesn't though and they end up kissing. Back at the apartment, Sami and Jamie find the box on Carrie's shelf in the bathroom.

Sami realizes that Carrie is intending to sleep with Lucas and rushes off to find her. She gets to the pub and Caroline tells her that Carrie and Lucas were going to the river. Meanwhile down at the river, Carrie pulls out a condom and asks Lucas to make love to her. He's just taken off her bikini top when Sami turns up and yells at them to stop. Lucas tells her to get lost and Carrie tells her it's none of her business but Sami tells her that Lucas is a creep and she knows what Lucas has done to get her into bed and she's going to tell her. Sami spills to Carrie that Lucas already knew she was a virgin. Carrie is convinced that Lucas has been lying to her all this time now and tells him she never wants to see him again. She leaves and Lucas rips into Sami. He accuses her of only wanting to make Carrie unhappy because she's jealous of her. He says some really uncalled for things and sends Sami stumbling off crying. He also starts to cry. Carrie goes down to the pier where she runs into Roman but she can't tell him what's happened because she's afraid he'll be ashamed. He doesn't push her, instead he hugs her and walks her home.

Marlena & Sami/The First Bandages Come Off/
Curtis Reed & Kate Finds Her Children Story Begins/
Bo & Billie in LA/Carly Wakes Up/
Kate And Victor's First Wedding
August 9 - September 7, 1993

Marlena tries to talk to Sami about what is going on with her, but Sami is evasive. Marlena pushes it, asking Sami to trust her. Sami runs upstairs, leaving Marlena pretty upset. Carrie (who is getting her bandages off tomorrow) arrives and offers to talk to Sami when Marlena tells her that if they don't get Sami help soon she'll get worse.

Marlena catches up with Sami at the mall and suggests that they go shopping together. Sami tells her that she'd die if the kids from school saw her shopping with her Mom. Marlena walks off hurt and Sami tells Jamie that she had to do it. They spot a suit in the window of the store and Sami buys it, saying that she's lost seven pounds and can now get into it. She thinks it will help her win Austin but first she has to do something with her makeup and hair. She heads for Titan to get her paycheck. In the conference room, Marlena is talking to John about her problems with Sami. Sami sees john hugging Marlena and flashes back to the night of the Titan party. She storms into the room and asks the two of them what they think they are doing. Marlena tells her she was talking to John about her. Sami doesn't believe her and John tells her that surely she knows that her mother would never lie to her. Sami says yeah right and then storms back out of the room. Marlena wants to follow her, but John tells her to give Sami some space - Carrie was the same when she was younger. Marlena tells him that she hopes that he's right but she's not so sure. Outside the conference room, one of Bella's make-up artists gives Sami a whole lot of make-up for her new look. Marlena comes out and wants to know why Sami accused her of being a liar, doesn't she know that she would never lie to her. Sami glares at her mother and Marlena tells her that she wants to talk about this after her meeting. Sami says that she doesn't have the time. Marlena says make the time - now, but when she goes back into the conference room, Sami leaves.

Austin turns up at Carrie's apartment, looking for Billie who isn't there, and offers to take Carrie to the hospital to get her bandages off. They are having breakfast when Lucas calls. Carrie tells him that Austin is taking her to the hospital. Lucas wishes her luck but isn't at all happy when he gets off the phone. Later, Austin turns up at Carrie's early and suggests that they take a drive by the lake before they go to the hospital. However, Lucas turns up with flowers and wants to take some before and after shots. Austin isn't happy, but goes down to bring his car up front. He comes back up fuming, and blames Lucas for letting the air out of the back tires. Lucas ends up taking Carrie to the hospital and taking the drive by the lake.

Marlena discovers that Sami is gone but catches up with her at the pub. Sami has her hair braided and apparently spent a weeks wages on it. Jamie leaves and Marlena tells Sami that she thinks she's figured out what's going on with Sami - it's boy trouble. Marlena urges the evil-twin-in-training to tell this boy how she feels and tells Sami that she's beautiful and any boy would love to go out with her. Sami unfortunately decides to take her advice and finds Austin at the hospital and asks the poor boy to go out with her... Austin refuses which doesn't make Sami a happy young thing at all.

Marlena catches up with Carrie who's about to get her bandages off but tells Carrie that the doctor will be a little while. Carrie asks her to go home and rest, she doesn't want to make a big thing of this. Marlena agrees and heads home via the mall where she buys a new comforter for Sami. At home she puts is on her bed and cleans up after Sami. However she opens the closet to find a stash of junk food... Lucas kisses Carrie and she wants to know why he did it. Before the conversation can get too far along, they are interrupted. Later Dr. Phelps takes off Carrie's bandages but the graft hasn't taken. Carrie is angry at herself for hoping that it would work. Austin tries to tell Sami he wants to be her friend but she's pretty devastated. She asks him to go and he does, but Jamie comes into the room. Sami tells her that Marlena persuaded her to let him know her feelings and she can't believe she fell for it. She heads home but Marlena is waiting there for her with the laxatives she found in her room. Marlena confronts Sami but Sami denies everything and tells Marlena she's just looking for ways to make her unhappy. Marlena follows her up to the bedroom and begs Sami to tell her what the root of these problems is as she wants to help her. Sami tells her that if she doesn't let up she just might tell her and she won't like that.

Austin comes in and speaks to Carrie. She wants him to go away but he tells her he thinks the scar is the only reason they're not together and he tells her he can't pretend anymore that he doesn't care about her. He invites her up to the cabin in the mountains to spend some time and she thinks about it. Marlena wants to know what Sami means by what she said, but Sami backtracks and tells her to forget it, she was just trying to get her off her back. She eventually tells Marlena that the laxatives are Jamie's which doesn't please Jamie too much later when she comes round. Marlena goes over to Alice's for a little chat and then comes back for round two with Sami. However when she comes into Sami's room she finds Sami trying to get rid of empty food wrappers and realizes that Sami was lying to her.

Carrie decides not to go to the cabin and calls Austin to tell him. Marlena confronts Sami about the bulimia, realizing that she lied and tells her she needs therapy/ Sami begs her not to tell Roman, she'll do anything if only Marlena doesn't tell him. Roman interrupts the conversation and Marlena doesn't tell him. They all have dinner and then Sami, saying she's really tired, heads for bed. Roman follows her and thanks her for making up with Marlena.

Carrie changes her mind in the morning and decides to go up to the cabin after all. Lucas calls Brandee and gets her to go up there under the pretense that she wants to talk to Austin about some problems she is having with her brother. Lucas takes Carrie up to the cabin - but when she gets there she sees Austin and Brandee swimming.

Kate goes down to the hospital and is upset when she hears about Abby and she offers to be tested for being a match. Afterward, she sits down in the staff lounge and opens a locket. Inside the locket are pictures of two babies and she starts crying.

Brandee comes up from the lake and tells Carrie that she's been there all night and she and Austin made love. Carrie begs her not to tell Austin that she was here and Lucas takes Carrie back to town. Austin and Brandee have lunch and then Austin decides to go back to town to find out what's up with Carrie. He takes Brandee back, and they stop at the mall. Carrie sees them hugging and grabs Lucas and plants a big kiss on him.

Marlena gets home and asks Sami how her day was and Sami avoids her questions about seeing the therapist. However, the therapist calls and fills Marlena in on the fact that Sami missed the appointment. Marlena is furious and tells Sami that maybe Roman can talk her into going. Again Sami begs Marlena not to tell Roman - he'll think she's disgusting and sick and she'll be so ashamed. Marlena tells her she is sick - she has a very serious disease. Sami replies by saying that she's getting better. Marlena tells her that she can fix the eating part of it - but she still has to find out what the underlying reason is. Sami spits back that she already knows what that reason is. Marlena asks her what and Sami lies and tells her it was the boy. Roman comes in and Marlena says that they have to talk - but they are interrupted by a knock at the door. It's friends of theirs - Richie and Barbara. Barbara is heavily pregnant and they have bought Marlena and Roman a teddy bear for the baby. Roman gets a phonecall and tells Richie it's his unlucky night - he's going to have to go on a stakeout. The couple leave, but Roman interrupts Marlena who's telling him they have to have a family conference and says that he feels bad for Richie and he is going to go down and take over from Richie so he can go home and help Barbara put the crib together. Later Jamie comes over after Marlena heads to the Horton's for the meeting and Sami and she hear a news bulletin on the radio saying that a cop has been shot on a stakeout. She rushes over to the Horton's to find that Roman is not there and tells her mother what she heard. Jonah takes them down to the scene where they see a body under a cover - wearing Roman's jacket.

Marlena gets under the crime scene tape and Sami follows her. They are kneeling next to the body when Roman comes up behind them. They go to him and he tells them that it's Richie. He explains that Richie felt he had a personal stake in this case and Roman lent him his jacket as he was supposed to be plain clothes. Marlena and Roman decide to go and tell Barbara what happened. Once that is over, Roman realizes that it could have been him that was killed. They go for a walk down to the pier and Roman tells Marlena that he never really let himself think about being shot before, but tonight it's become all too real. Marlena tells him she thinks about it all the time. Roman says that he can't let it happen. Meanwhile Jonah is supposed to take Sami home but she takes the bus instead. However, she stops off at the pub first and tells Shawn that she has friends coming over and she wants some hamburgers and fries. Shawn gets them for her and she takes them outside and chows down.

A Reed or a Roberts in every scene. (August 24) Jack breaks down in Kate's office over Abby. She comforts him and tells him she lost two children of her own. Austin is tested as are Lucas and Carrie. They all meet up and there is friction as Lucas and Austin wait while Carrie is being tested. Lucas provokes Austin but when Carrie comes out makes it look as if Austin was going for him.

Meanwhile Carrie comes over to the Brady's and tears into Sami for being such a little snot towards her mother. Upstairs Roman is talking about his job again and when he feels the baby kicking he says that he is going to be there for the baby in the way he couldn't be for Carrie and the twins. They come downstairs as Sami is about to walk out on Sami and Roman gets Sami to walk him out to the car. Carrie overhears Marlena make a call to a therapist and tell him that Sami has bulimia. Marlena realizes that she's listening and gets off the phone. They talk and then Sami comes back in. Carrie apologizes for yelling at her and Sami is furious that Marlena told her. Carrie explains that she overheard but Sami tells Marlena that if she tells Roman, Sami won't be the only one that disappoints him. Carrie tells Sami that they'll help her through this and Marlena prompts her to go on over to the Horton's. With Carrie gone, Marlena tells Sami that she wants to know what's wrong - what she's done to make Sami so angry with her. Sami says she just can't tell her. Marlena tells her that she just wants to make everything all right and she'll do *anything* to help Sami. Sami says then give her another chance. She'll go see the therapist if Marlena won't tell Roman. Marlena eventually agrees and makes an appointment for Sami to see a Dr. Dorman in her office. When Sami gets there the Dr. tells her that anything she tells him won't leave the room.

Abby had Aplastic Anemia, (Aplastic anemia [a-PLAS-tik uh-NEE-me-uh] is a rare and serious blood disorder in which bone marrow stops making enough new blood cells. Bone marrow––the spongy material inside bones—makes new blood cells called stem cells. Stem cells normally develop into three main types of blood cells: red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Each type of blood cell has its own functions in the body. However, in aplastic anemia, normal production of all blood cells—red cells, white cells, and platelets—slows or stops. This is because the stem cells have been damaged. The cause of this damage is often unknown.) The only cure is a bone marrow transplant. All of Salem is tested for a match. Jenn calls Jack at Titan and tells him he has to get down to the hospital right away - they've found a donor for Abby. There they find out the compatible donor is none other than Austin. Tom takes a history from Austin and they all hear how Austin and Billie's mother abandoned them when they were young. Later Jenn tells Jack that she wants to do something to thank Austin - she wants to find his mother for him. Jack agrees.

Kate decides it's time to tell him the real truth and reveals she was married before he was born. She tells him she was young and in love but once she was married, he started gambling and got into drugs and then he started beating her, the last time so badly he almost killed her. Then she tells him she had two young children. She tells him she met his father and was happy for a while but then her husband found out - that was when he beat her so badly and he left her, taking the kids. She says that she looked for them for ages but when she eventually found out what happened to them she found they had died in an accident. Lucas is stunned and anguished over his mothers grief.

Carrie talks to Marlena about the feelings Lucas seems to be developing for her and the fact that she's still into Austin. Of course Lucas inconveniently arrives just after Marlena advises Carrie to tell Austin how she really feels. He drags Carrie outside and cries on her shoulder about his brother and sister that he never knew he had but now he knows but they're dead problem.

It's time for Carrie's second op and Marlena and Roman head over and pick her up. They take her to the hospital and Lucas stops by. So does Brandee and she threatens to tell Carrie the truth about Lucas's manipulations if he doesn't get her some modelling jobs at Titan.Lucas heads over to Titan where he suggests to Kate that Brandee would be a good model for the Milan shoot. Kate agrees and says she'll have her booked. Lucas runs off to tell the blonde but later Kate is told by her secretary that they've already booked someone else. Kate says oh well, she's sure it wasn't important. Meanwhile Brandee is heading off to Titan to get the details and is warning Lucas that it better pan out or Austin and Carrie will know the truth about the cabin.

Carrie has her second op. Austin has some more tests for his and Abby's op. They meet. They stare.

Carrie is already up and about and ready to go home. Lucas asks her to go to the wedding of his mother and Victor and she accepts. Brandee turns up at the hospital and tells Lucas that her name is not on the list for Milan and unless he gets it on there she's going to tell Carrie and Austin all about his little schemes. Lucas races over to Titan but Kate is getting ready for the wedding. She tells him there's nothing she can do - the contracts are sitting on the desk waiting to be signed. Lucas decides a little contract swapping is in order. However, Brandee has followed him to Titan and is preparing to tell Carrie everything.

Lucas manages to swap the contracts so that Brandee is going to Milan and stops her before she tells Carrie anything. Jenn and Austin come to pick up Jack for dinner. Jack has a whole lot of Vic's computer disks that were supposed to be destroyed and Vern is trying to crack the encoding. Jenn sees something on the screen about the Spectator and Jack thinks that this information is why Vic wants to get hold of the Spectator so quickly. They head up to the Titan Grille for dinner. The wedding takes place and Jack, Jenn and Austin walk in at the end of it.

Bo doesn't ask Billie why she's at the club, just asks her to ID Curtis as the gunman. She says it's not him and Bo ends up leaving. Curtis thanks her and buys her a beer. She doesn't want it and gets upset and tells him she hates what he's done to her - making her lie to someone she really cares about. She says she's going to tell Bo the truth, but Curtis begs her not to. Billie says she won't, on the condition that he goes to the rehab clinic. She takes him and books him in there. Later when he's there, he gets a call from Peter who tells him he might need him back in Salem soon.

Carrie and Lucas arrive back at Victor's and Lucas wants to do something special and romantic for his mother. Carrie shares her most romantic fantasy - her wedding night with candles...(usual Salem set-up). They set up a champagne supper for Victor and Kate but when they get home, Kate takes Lucas aside and tells him that he's all she has. She has been upset by Victor in the limo on the way home when he talked to his lawyer about the Spectator. She has made him promise not to fire Jack if he will recant on his threats. Lucas and Carrie leave and Kate and Victor head upstairs. There are about a thousand candles in the room and Vic says that he arranged it all, including the champagne supper - but he didn't want to disappoint the kids.

________________________________________________________________

Bo goes to visit Carly's grave which Dr. Wu's men have already returned to it's former state. Meanwhile, Billie takes Curtis to the lab and tells him to stay there. He asks her to bring him back some food and she says that she will. She heads to the pub and the conversation with Austin turns to dear ol' dad. Austin says that he was a liar and a manipulator and had no redeeming qualities. Meanwhile, Bo heads for the pub where one of the cops from the station catches up with him and gives him the blown-up photos that they have from the shooting. Bo sees that the witness was Billie and he goes into the pub and wants to know why she didn't tell him. Eventually she agrees to help him (after looking totally guilty for a couple of minutes) but she says that the gunman was wearing sunglasses and a baseball cap and she didn't get a good look at him. Dr. Wu and Vivian manage to persuade Lawrence to take Carly home, but he tells them that if she dies, he'll kill them both with his own hands. Back at the house, Carly shows no signs of recovering, so Dr. Wu says he'll try and find a special herb. And Vivian manages to talk Lawrence into letting her stay, at least until Carly gets better, for Nikki's sake.

Carly is all set up in the attic of the Alamain house but she's still not improved any. Dr. Wu's nurse arrives and is installed in the room next to Carly's. However when everyone leaves the room Carly starts to become restless and Vivian, Lawrence and Ivan downstairs are shocked to hear her screaming Bo's name. Billie spends the morning trying to avoid her appointment with Bo, not answering the phone at the lab. However she is just leaving when Bo catches up with her. Bo takes her down to the station where she goes through mug shots but she doesn't recognize any of them. Bo calls in a sketch artist and Billie tells him what the gunman looked like - making him look totally unlike Curtis. Meanwhile, Curtis has checked out an issue of Belle and seen who else is in town that he knows.

Billie has to sign a statement saying that she told the whole truth. With a few misgivings she does and after telling Bo that she's told him all she can, she gets out of there and heads back to the lab. However, Curtis ain't there. He does come back though and tells her that now the coast is clear, he's heading for LA. Meanwhile Bo and the rest of the Salem circus police force, figure out that the gunman might be heading for LA. Nikki comes into the house having heard the screaming. Vivian, ever the quick thinker tells him it was Cook who burnt her hand. Nikki thinks it sounded like his mother but they are quick to step on that. Later, Bo comes over and gives Nikki the journal that Carly kept when she was pregnant with him with all her hopes and dreams. Nikki is upset and tells Bo he's sorry for trying to break them up. Bo tells him it's okay. Bo is just about to leave when the nurse comes down and tells Lawrence the patient is getting harder to keep quiet. Lawrence tells him it's Vivian and they get rid of him. Lawrence bites the nurses head off and then goes upstairs to Katerina.

Bo decides to go to LA to track the gunman down. He tells Billie where he's going and later Billie finds a matchbook at the lab for an LA club. She decides she has to go there and find Curtis before Bo does.

Billie gets to LA as Bo is waiting for his baggage. She discovers he's using a false name and he's staying at the Ritz Carlton. He is picked up by an LA cop in a limousine and it becomes apparent that he's undercover as some high roller from back East. They go shopping in Beverly hills and he has a haircut. Meanwhile, Billie stops by the 'After Midnight' club, but it's empty. She heads for the Ritz Carlton and gets a maid to let her into Hank Richards room. She has heard he won't be back for a few hours and she decides to take a bath. However, the maid take sher clothes to be laundered and Bo arrives with a crime boss and suggests they go up to his suite. At La Alamain, Carly wakes in the attic and thinks that it's the past - and it's after the night in the bistro in Paris when James said he loved her.

Bo tells the mob guys that he wants to hire a hit man. They check out the suite but don't go into the bathroom. Billie overhears them talking and after they go back downstairs, she jumps out of the bath only to find that her clothes aren't there. As she's running around she manages to knock something over and there's a loud crash. The men downstairs hear the noise and head up to the bathroom. They see the bath full of water and bubbles but no-one in the room. They are about to go when one of the mob guys realizes that someone is in the bath. Bo reaches in and pulls out a rather wet Billie.

Bo tells the thugs that Billie is his girlfriend but later Malco tells Bo that he's going to have her checked out. If it pans out he'll get Bo the hitman. They go and Billie explains to Bo that her clothes are being laundered and her luggage is at the airport in a locker. Unfortunately the key is with her clothes and the laundry staff can't find it. She convinces Bo to buy her a red dress that is in the window of a boutique in the lobby and Bo tells her that she should be a model.

Bo and Billie go barhopping. Billie sees Curtis in Around Midnight and jumps up onto the stage to sing 'Makin' Whoopee'. Curtis sees her and takes off, Billie tells Bo that the gunman is not there. Later they go back to the hotel and Bo gives Billie a shirt of his to sleep in. He sleeps on the couch and she has the bed with satin sheets.

Billie has a dream where Bo is getting in the bed and saying he can't resist her and kisses her. She is woken by Bo slipping into bed and kissing her but it's because he's heard the maid. He has a shower and Billie orders another dress from downstairs. She also orders a huge breakfast and Bo finds her downstairs eating. Malco turns up and invites them to a party tonight. Bo tells them that Billie is going home but Malco tells them that he expects her to be there. Aussie the cop later tells Bo that he thinks Billie should stay. He gives Bo lists of aliases that the suspects use but Billie sees the one for Curtis and manages to secret it away as Bo gets her a margarita.

Bo tells Billie that he thinks he might be able to get LA PD to pay for her to get some new outfits so that she fits the part. They agree and Billie and Bo head for a boutique in the hotel. The woman assistant intimates that Billie won't be able to afford anything in there so Bo flashes some money around and they leave and go to Fred Haymans where they shop till they drop. Then they go shopping some more. Back at the hotel they get ready for the party and Billie comes out in a stunning long blue dress. She asks if she looks okay for the party and Bo shakes his head and tells her that no, she can't go out like that.

In LA Bo tells Billie not to go away, he'll be right back. Billie gets upset, thinking she looks awful and strips off her dress. Bo comes back to find her all upset and in her underclothes. He apologises and tells her that he thought she looked spectacular and he didn't mean to hurt her feelings. He helps her back into her dress and pulls out a necklace, telling her that's why he went off. It's diamond and sapphires and he tells her it's on loan. He puts it on her and the matching earrings and tells her she looks perfect. Billie can't wipe the grin off her face and she savours the moment, especially once he calls her a princess. They head to Malco's party where Malco dances with Billie, much to Bo and Malco's girlfriends chagrin. Malco decides to get the hired man to come and meet Bo but his girlfriend tells him not to trust them - they're phonies and she can prove it.

Billie and Bo play dumb over the bimbo's accusations and she points out that they act more like brother and sister. So they spin into a nicely choreographed dance that's supposed to prove something. What, I'm not quite sure, but I guess it looked good. Billie decides to visit the little girls room, but before she goes, Bo lays a big smacker on her, just a little more persuasion for his mate Malco. It seems to work, but alas, Billie runs into dear daddy at the lift and tells him to get out or he's in deep shtick. He gets out. Malco gets mad. Bo gets madder. Bo speaks without moving his teeth and then he and Billie skedaddle. Back at the Ritz-Carlton, Bo takes the earrings and necklace to put in the safe. But he tells Billie that they're gonna continue having fun until they catch this gunman.

Bo and Billie are having breakfast and one of Malco's men tells them he's found the hitman and he will be picking them up in an hour. Bo heads off to take the jewels back to the store and Billie tries but fails to get hold of Curtis. Bo comes back with a small pendant for Billie to thank her for all that she has done. She tries to call Curtis again but finds out he left the club half an hour ago. Malco arrives and takes them to a place where they are supposed to meet with the gunman. Vic arranges everything for the wedding and gets Kate to sign a pre-nup agreement. She tells him she's not signing over The Spectator until after they are married. Katerina sees Vivian at the door and wants her to come in and talk to her. They make small talk and then Lawrence takes Vivian outside and tells her he is going to make her pay for what she has done. He heads back inside and Katerina tells him that she had a dream about someone coming between them and it seemed so real. And then she tells him that they had a son in the dream and he was doing everything to get them back together. She wants to know why her dreams are so sad. Lawrence holds her for a while and then she starts coughing. The nurse comes in and checks on her and tells Lawrence that her only hope is Dr. Wu to get back with the healing herb. Meanwhile, downstairs, Vivian is downing the brandy and fretting about Lawrence's possible murderous tendencies. She decides that she has to get a good lawyer who can say that the herbs made her temporarily insane. Ivan mutters that maybe it was permanently insane. She promises Ivan that if he sticks by her she'll find some way to protect them both.

The gunman isn't Curtis and Billie shakes her head discreetly. Bo says that he won't do when it turns out he hasn't worked for 18 months. Malco tells him their deal is over and Bo goes back to see Ozzie. Ozzie gives him photos of Malco's contacts and says that Curtis is the only one who doesn't have an airtight alibi for that day. He also tells Bo that he is known to hang around at 'Round Midnight. Meanwhile Billie is there and finds Curtis is stoned. She threatens to turn him in but he starts crying. She tells him she'll help him and goes off to call a drug clinic. Curtis says to himself that there's no way he'll go into a drug clinic. He has another drink, but Bo comes down the stairs and says he wants to talk to him. However Billie walks out from the back and Bo sees her.

Carrie Has The First Scar Surgery/Carly Buried Alive Storyline Begins July 7 - August 6, 1993

2008-10-24T00:44:00.000-05:00

Carrie and Lucas head on round to Roman and Marlena's and tell them that Carrie has changed her mind - she's going to try the surgery. They tell her that they will pay for the surgery as she doesn't have any insurance. They all have lunch later - Roman cooks pasta, but Sami binges on a big bowl upstairs and then throws it up. Marlena is waiting on news from the hospital but there is none yet. She calls John and tells him and Sami overhears the phone call. She tells Marlena she is going to the hospital and Marlena says that maybe she'll see her there later on.

Rebecca arrives and suggests they do something. John says that actually the sitter will be there soon, he has some personal business to take care of - some shopping. Rebecca invites herself along with him and they run into Marlena and Carrie who have been shopping for maternity wear at the mall. Marlena says she's just about to call the hospital and Rebecca says that they have to get back to work anyway. John demurs and says they have some time, why don't they sit down and have a coffee. They head off to Johnny Angels while Marlena calls the hematology lab. Frank tells her the results are in yet and when she asks about her personal code, he tells her what he's been using, of course, Sami is conveniently at the lab to hear this exchange. She asks Frank if he can give her a lesson on haematology and he gives her a text book. She takes it away and finds out John and Roman's blood types, and then works out that if the baby has type O blood both J&M are type O so then the baby is John's. However Roman is AB so if the baby is either A or B, then it's Roman's. Back at the mall, Carrie decides to Sit with John and Rebecca so Marlena sits with them. At the hospital, Sami heads back down to the lab when she sees Frank leave. In the lounge a nurse tells Frank that the bloodwork results have just been entered into the computer. In the lab Sami is checking it out.

Marlena calls the hospital and Frank tells her the blood results for the baby came up fine. She is relieved and she calls John and tells him she's going to the hospital to get the results of the blood analysis. He says he'll meet her there.

At the hospital, Sami heads for the lounge and writes in her diary. She doesn't hate her Mom but she hates what she did to her Dad. She always thought she could trust her - that she would never do anything to hurt any of them, but she did. Anyway, she says to herself, she'll know the truth now, and it's all over. It's finally over.

John finds Marlena at the chapel and she tells him that she knows that he had hope for the two of them, but she's not sure there was ever any hope. Even if this was his baby - John interrupts him and asks if she is trying to tell him this isn't his baby. She nods her head and says it's not, it's Romans. John tells her he's happy for she and Roman.

Sami is interning at Titan, working with Kate's secretary. Sami lets Kristen walk in to see Victor. She wants to thank him for the van donation and give him a sweatshirt from the Horton Centre. He invites her to stay for the meeting and suggests that they do an article on the centre in the magazine. Marlena invites Sami to come shopping with her tomorrow but Sami refuses. Kate's secretary wings into Sami for letting Kristen walk into the meeting and Sami pigs out on pastries and then runs to the restroom to be sick.

Lucas takes Carrie to the Penthouse Grille for drinks and dancing since she can't eat because she's having surgery tomorrow. He shows her a letter that (supposedly) comes from a girl who was scarred in a car accident and who was inspired by Carrie. He suggests that Carrie could write back to this girl and all the girls like her in Bella and express her feelings. Carrie ends up by agreeing to co-operate with Kate.

Carrie has her surgery and it goes well. Sami gets Austin to give her piano lessons and then tells him about Carrie's surgery. He heads down to the hospital, but finds Lucas in the room with Carrie.

Jenn goes up to the roof again and Austin follows her. They talk about Carly for a while and decide that they'll do a show showing the good side of her. Austin mentions that it's his birthday and says he'd better go as he's supposed to be meeting Billie for dinner. But the door is stuck and they can't get it open, so Jenn rummages around in her handbag and sticks a candle in a snickers bar and lights it. Austin blows out the candle, making a wish that Carrie's operation will work and then he breaks the bar in two.

Up on the roof, Austin and Jennifer get the door open, but Jenn decides she wants to stay up there a little longer. Austin teaches her how to box and then they head down. Jenn tries to call Jack again and then Tom tells her about Carly dying. Jenn and Austin go into the lounge and she cries on Austin's shoulders.

Bo stops off at the Heart where Austin and Jonah are playing pool. He has a few scotch's and then has a few swings at a guy before taking off on his bike again. Billie heads down to the Brady pub and Austin meets up with her there. She frets about Bo and he worries about her falling for Bo.

Lucas heads over to Carrie's to feed her up on chicken soup. He calls Kate and she turns up just after Billie. She offers to invest money in Billie's company but Billie turns her down. Sami turns up with Austin, but his presence upsets Carrie. Lucas tells Austin that he doesn't want to see him near Carrie again.

Lucas takes Carrie home and tries to kiss her. Carrie pulls away and says she can't. Lucas deduces that it's because she's still hung up on Austin and walks out. Carrie runs into Austin in the hall and drops her laundry. Austin asks what's wrong and Carrie tells him that everything is and she would give anything for him to hold her the way he used to. He takes her in his arms and does just that.

Carrie decides that whatever happens with the scar, nothing will change - she and Austin are still over.

Sami and Carrie help Kate set up a surprise party for Lucas, and what's more - he's actually surprised. Jamie tells Sami that the blood tests are retaken once the baby is born.

Lucas' 18th birthday party - Kate gives him the keys to the BMW and he and Carrie go for a spin, but get lost. Meanwhile Sami is busy stuffing her face with food and Jamie realizes that she's thrown it up.

Roman is going away to Washington and Marlena plans a nice night home together. Sami runs in, says she can't stop and she's not hungry, grabs her volunteers uniform and heads for the hospital. Marlena tells Roman that Sami has been distant lately and she doesn't know why. They happen to be looking at the shopping list and discover that Sami has been ordering lots of junk food. Marlena assumes that it's for when friends come around so she will have food to offer them. At the hospital,

Jamie finds Sami stuffing her face with donuts and accuses her of being bulimic. Sami says that she can stop it any time she wants. Jamie tells Sami that her sister Heather was bulimic and it almost killed her. She encourages Sami to talk to Marlena. Sami says she'll deal with her own problems. Roman comes in just them and asks what problems. Sami says just scheduling stuff and Roman tells her that he's going away and then asks her to try and make an effort with her mother. Sami promises that she'll try.

They head home and Marlena suggests that Sami and Roman spend some father/daughter time together, playing 'basketball'. Sami suggests Marlena keep score, which makes Marlena really happy. Marlena and Sami end up playing against Roman who lets them win.

Roman goes out to get some iced tea and Marlena thanks Sami for spending some time with her and they hug. However, later Sami is writing in her diary and says that she can never forgive John and Marlena and she doesn't know how she'll get through this. She heads over to her drawers and pulls out a donut and starts eating.

Carrie comes over to Marlena's to help her get breakfast for her and Sami. Carrie leaves and thinks maybe there is something she can do for Marlena and Sami. Sami comes down and says she'll stay for breakfast but then reverses and says she has to go out. She heads upstairs and Marlena is upset, but then Carrie and Caroline arrive for a makeover day and persuade Sami to stay. They do the makeover/spa thing, Caroline and Marlena tell Sami about how when she was a colicky baby Marlena would drive her around in the car, talking to her of her dreams for her future. Sami says that she hopes she hasn't let her down too much. Marlena tells Sami that she could never let her down. Jamie arrives and they invite her to stay. Sami goes across with Jamie to get her own make-up and Marlena tells Carrie and Caroline that she doesn't think this is standard teenage behaviour. Caroline advises Marlena to trust Sami and maybe Sami will trust her. Outside, Jamie is trying to talk Sami into not being so hostile towards Marlena. They do the makeovers and decide to go out to lunch. Carrie and Caroline are planning something in the meantime.

Carrie and Caroline take Sami and Marlena to Alice's suggesting that they ask Alice to go with them. Marlena is not sure but knocks on the door. Alice calls out that it's open and they go inside. Marlena is surprised to find that they are holding a baby shower for her. Later on Sami does the binge and purge thing again and Jamie threatens to tell Marlena.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Carly confronts Vivian and works out that she's been killing her patients. She can't work out how Viv is walking and keeps muttering that she should be paralyzed. Vivian says a will and the herbs helped. She tells Carly about her original plan to frame her for her death and says that she doesn't mind going to hell as long as she can take Carly with her. The phone rings but Vivian, holding the syringe won't let Carly answer it. They have a struggle and Vivian drops the syringe as Carly manages to incapacitate her (or so she thinks). She turns her back on Vivian (big mistake) to check on Caroline and call security and Vivian comes at her with the syringe. Carly struggles but Vivian stabs her in the arm with it and Carly sinks to the floor as she loses consciousness. Viv hightails it back to her room and Ivan helps her get into bed.

Alice finds Carly in Caroline's room and calls Bo (who is with Roman at the Cheatin' Heart). They rush to the hospital to find that Carly is being taken to ICU - there was morphine in that there syringe. Ivan overhears the conversation and Vivian works out that the syringe with the morphine must have fallen out of her pocket in the struggle and that was the one she stabbed Carly with. The security men find the other syringe on the floor and Tom, Roman and Bo are even more astounded to find out that it contained cleaning fluid. Vivian realizes that she may just have found a way to frame Carly for the deaths. As long as the good doctor never wakes up again.

At the hospital, things are beginning to look more and more like they are suspecting Carly of killing her patients. They give her something to counteract the morphine and hope it works. Bo decides he will find something to prove Carly's innocence and heads off to find her diary - the diary that Vivian has just forged an entry in. Bo is shocked when he reads that Carly thinks Caroline might die a painful death and she can't let her suffer like that.

Billie comes across Bo in the lounge. He's holding onto Carly's diary and is confused. He tells Billie that Carly would never try to kill anyone, let alone his mother. Billie doesn't want to say it but tells him how upset Carly was when Caroline suggested they delay the wedding plans. Bo goes to see Caroline who confirms it. Mickey tells Bo that Mrs. Levin's lawyer has permission from the DA to exhume Woodrow's body and do an autopsy. Bo ends up handing the diary over to Mickey as Mickey comes back with the results of the autopsy. They found the same chemical in his body as in the syringe in Caroline's room. Mickey says this changes everything - now they're talking about murder. Bo gets this wide-eyes totally gormless look on his face as he comprehends what Mickey is saying.

Vivian works out how to silence Carly permanently. She gets Ivan to get another syringe full of morphine and orders him to contact Mr. Wu. Dressing up as a nurse, she goes down to Carly's room, but finds Lawrence inside, distraught and telling her he loves her. He gets up and walks away and from the door, Vivian sees Carly's fingers move.

The evidence against Carly mounts and Vivian calls WTGB to make sure the rumours get out to the press. Bo wants to head the investigation but Roman says he can't , it would look like a whitewash. But nevertheless, Bo decides to take it on himself to start investigating.

Ivan tells Lawrence there's a call for him and it's urgent and Vivian injects the morphine into Carly's IV. She gets back to bed and says it's all running wonderfully. Outside the room, Bo and Lawrence are arguing, but Lawrence opens the door and Bo sees Vivian's head flop back down.

Bo and Lawrence want to know if Vivian has moved before and while Ivan stammers, Vivian slowly opens her eyes. She pretends to be coming round and tells them that she remembers Carly threatening to kill her. Bo and Lawrence can't believe it but Vivian has planted the seeds of doubt. Ivan brings Dr. Wu and Vivian offers him a large uncut diamond (where did she gets that, the jade was the last thing she owned recently) in return for a herb called the sleeping death. She gets Ivan to slip into Carly's room with the herb.

Lexie turns up at the hospital and tells Bo they have to do a cursory search of the house. Of course they do and find the cleaning fluid that Vivian had planted there (and Carly had picked up only days before). Bo heads back to the hospital and goes to see Carly, telling her she has to wake so she can explain this (sounds like he's starting to doubt her). But then the monitor blips and flatlines and Bo starts screaming for a nurse.

The resuscitation team come in but they eventually give up. It takes a while for it to sink through Bo's mind that Carly's dead and after Alice tries to talk him into staying with her and Tom, he runs off. Billie follows him to the house where he rips the bedroom apart till he finds his bike keys. Billie tries to stop him but he doesn't care if anything happens Meanwhile, Lawrence is told and he sobs in a supposedly sympathetic Vivian's arms.

Lawrence tells Nikki the bad news about his mother and the kid doesn't take it well. He heads down to the funeral home where he tells Katerina he will always love her. Then he goes back to the house and falls on his knees in misery. The black widow Vivian heads down to the funeral home where she tells Carly that she's the only one who knows Carly is not really dead. Carly's inner voice whispers "Vivian."

John hears about Carly's death on the radio and goes down to the pub. He realizes that Bo is probably at Green Oaks and heads out there. He talks to Bo for a while and calms him down. Bo is still devastated. Victor hears and goes down to the pub but Shawn tells him the Brady's take care of their own. Mickey goes to visit Lawrence to arrange Carly's burial. Vivian, having discharged herself from the hospital arrives home to help Nikki through this devastating time. She tells Lawrence that it was Carly's wish to be buried under a shady tree and she didn't want to be embalmed. Lawrence heads down to the funeral home where Carly is busy talking to herself inside her head but nobody can hear her. Lawrence tells her how much he loves her and then leaves as Carly is saying I'm alive in her own little nightmare world.

Jenn and Jack go to the funeral home to see Carly. She is trying to tell them she's alive but they leave, Jenn crying. They go back to the house but while Jenn is upstairs, Kate turns up and tells Jack to meet her at the airport in half an hour, they have to go to Chicago for an important Spectator meeting. She leaves and Jack follows her to Titan. He tells her he can't go as he has to be there for Jenn who is burying her best friend today. Kate tells him she needs him too, in fact she close to throws a temper tantrum and threatens Jack with selling the paper to Victor unless he comes. Jack goes home and tells Jenn he has to go to Chicago if he wants to keep his job. Jenn can't believe he is going. Meanwhile Billie turns up at Kate's office and eventually accepts her offer. Bo isn't back and the funeral is having to take place today because Carly's body is not being embalmed. The Brady's try to talk Lawrence out of having the funeral before Bo gets back but Lawrence says it's out of his hands. They all head down the hospital as the service is being held in the chapel. Vivian and Ivan head to the funeral home to dress Carly. Ivan is balking big time, he thinks what Viv is doing is monstrous but Viv tells him if she goes down, then so does he and she has money and ways to get out of the country. They dress Carly and do her makeup and then Lawrence arrives to take Carly to the hospital for the service.

It's the day of Carly's funeral and she's in an open casket at the hospital chapel. Austin turns up at Jenn's to see how she's doing and she tells him Jack has gone off. Austin says he'll come with her. Lexie is clearing out Carly's locker and finds a ripped black sweatshirt in a rubbish bin in the locker room. She realizes it could belong to the Pacifier and that he might work at the hospital. At the chapel the service begins, people get up and talk about Carly. Jenn, Marlena, John and Shawn. People go up and say their last goodbyes and Bo arrives. He goes up to put his jade ring on her finger but gets a shock when he realizes she's still warm. Although no-one seems to have an explanation for it or even want to check if he's right they get him to sit back down. He sits in a back pew and continues to look as if he has a bowel obstruction. Vivian gets up to say something and then whispers to Carly that shortly they are going to bury her alive. The whole time Carly is screaming out that she's alive. Eventually, the service ends and everyone leaves for the cemetery.

Carly's burial. Lawrence stands up and talks about her. When he's finished, everyone is about to leave and Bo says he needs to see her one last time. Viv is freaking out because Carly is due to wake up and start moving at any moment. Bo talks about Carly and then eventually they put the lid back on the casket and everyone leaves but Bo and Billie. Bo still can't believe that Carly's dead. Billie gives him a rose to put on the casket and tells him if he wants to talk, she's there. He tells her he just wants to be alone so she goes. He tells Carly that she broke her promise to him to grow old with him. He eventually leaves and Vivian and Ivan, who have been circling the block in a limo, arrive back in time for Carly to be buried. Carly's eyes pop open just in time to hear the earth being piled on the casket. After the grave is filled in Viv gets down to ground level and rolls around on top of the grave, telling Carly she did it for Lawrence. Carly wakes up totally and a red light comes on, enabling her to see where she is. She begins to bang and claw at the lid as Vivian above her laughs maniacally. In Chicago, Jack and Kate pull off the deal. Kate pulls out all the stops, trying to find reasons for Jack to stay, but Jack leaves and rents a car to get back to Salem.

Bo dreams that Carly is still alive. Caroline wakes him and he decides he has to get out of there. Meanwhile, Billie saw the gunman and the gunman saw Billie. She stows away on Bo's boat and as Bo is setting sail he thinks he hears Carly's voice. She is screaming - in her grave!

Bo and Billie talk about Carly, guilt and fathers. Vivian torments Carly via the two way radio. Victor visits the slightly psychotic Vivian in need of herbs and tells her he doesn't want her to leave town.

The wake continues at the pub. Rebecca warns Kristen off John, but Kristen tells the witch that even if she was interested in John, she wouldn't go after him. Rebecca follows her outside and they argue. Kristen tells Rebecca that she is trying to keep her patience. John gets involved and a gunman is aiming at the trio. A shot is fired and Rebecca is hit They take her o the hospital where Tom says she'll be alright.

Carly begs Vivian to let her go, saying that she'll play dead and leave town but Viv refuses. Nikki and Lawrence come in from a ride fighting. Nikki goes upstairs and Lawrence tells Vivian that Carly's death is tearing him apart. He doesn't think he'll be able to go on. Later Vivian gives Ivan the radio to put away. Ivan drops it and it turns on. Carly begs him to dig her up, not realizing he helped Vivian. However Ivan is feeling pretty guilty about all this, but Vivian discovers him with the radio.

Vivian tells Carly not to count on Ivan, and also tells her that Bo has gone away. Carly says she will count on Lawrence then. Vivian says that she has a surprise for Carly, she's going to set up a little entertainment to show her how quickly they have gotten over her. They set up a tea party and Vivian switches the radio so that Carly can hear them, but they can't hear her. However, Vivian's plan backfires as Nikki gets really upset over Carly's death. Lawrence takes him upstairs and Vivian wonder's what she's done. She tales some more herbs - the last of what she has and tells Ivan to get some more. The irrationality takes over again and she tells Ivan that Carly is going to die.

Billie has a nightmare that someone is chasing her, but she won't tell Bo about what happened. The gunman however, tracks her down and while Bo is gone, jumps out at her in the woods. She runs, with flashlight in hand until he catches up with her. She hears him laugh and shines the flashlight in his face. She begins to shake her head, repeating "No. No way." Until she says "No way Daddy, you're dead. No. No." Curtis doesn't really explain a whole lot to Billie, other than telling her he was the gunman and he was forced to do it or she and Austin would be killed. He tells Billie that he needs help and she's the only one that can help him but she runs back to the campsite where Bo tells her about the shooting which was on the radio. However, she doesn't say anything.

Carly begs Ivan to let her out but Vivian catches him again. Nikki has a nightmare and won't be comforted, he just wants his mother. Ivan tells Vivian that she can end Lawrence and Nikki's suffering right now if only she'll tell them but Viv refuses. Later Ivan gets hold of the radio again. Carly has run out of water and is running out of oxygen. She begs Ivan to get her out saying that if he doesn't, he'll hear her gasping for breath and pleading with him, every day of his life. However, Vivian catches him, yet again, and tells Carly that this is the last time they will talk. Meanwhile, Ivan has filled the empty herb bottle with tea. Vivian has a nightmare that Carly is choking her and when she wakes up, Lawrence comes downstairs and says he dreamt about Carly too - this time she was calling his name. Vivian lies and tells Lawrence that she dreamt that Carly was saying goodbye, telling her to let go. Lawrence says yes they should, bit he's finding it so hard.

Nikki gets a picture of he and Carly that she sent before she 'died'. He gets upset and Lawrence takes him upstairs and Ivan brings the radio to tell Vivian that Carly is still alive. Viv just wants more herbs. Ivan puts some of the 'herbs' in her tea but Vivian says that they taste different. Ivan tells her that he used another brand of tea and that's why it tastes different. Nikki comes down and tells Vivian that Lawrence is taking Carly's death pretty hard and asks what they can do to help. Later, Vivian takes the herbs straight and discovers that they're not the herbs at all, she's going through withdrawal. Ivan says that he's trying to help her because the herbs are driving her insane but Viv demands that he go and get some more.

Bo and Billie head back to Salem and Bo heads to the station and gets on the shooting case. Billie goes to tell Austin about Curtis but Jenn is with him. Jenn has told Austin that Bella wants to do a cover story on them and Austin tell Billie that if Curtis were alive, that would ruin both their lives. Carly is close to running out of air and Vivian is close to the herbs wearing off. Lawrence overhears Vivian mention the plan and she tells him she's planning a trip to Europe. They tell Nikki that they're going tomorrow but her throws a tantrum and refuses to leave his mother. Viv can't take it anymore and tells Lawrence that Carly is still alive. Lawrence doesn't believe her and she reminds him of the night he saw her dressed as a nurse. Ivan confirms her story and gives Lawrence the radio, but Carly is already unconscious.

Billie goes down to see Bo at the station and convinces him to come to her place and she'll make him dinner. However, when she gets home, Curtis is there. He tells her he needs her help, somewhere to stay and explains how it is that he's still alive. Bo turns up and Curtis scoots into a bedroom and Bo offers to make Billie something to eat since she hasn't gotten anything. They make dinner and then he finally goes. Curtis works out that Billie is in love with Bo. He's about to leave when Billie tells him she might have somewhere for him to stay. She goes to check it out and he calls someone and says that if John and Kristen get close they all know what will happen.

Lawrence tries to call the police but Vivian tells him that they only thing that can save Carly is an antidote and Western medicine will kill her. Dr Wu arrives and confirms this and they all race down to the cemetery. Lawrence and Ivan dig the earth out of the grave but Carly looks pretty lifeless when they get her out. However, Lawrence feels a slight pulse and starts giving her the kiss of life. Meanwhile, Bo has decided to visit Carly's grave.

Meanwhile Lucas turns up at Carrie's apartment and asks her out on a date. She refuses but he ends up coming in. Later he goes out for a pizza and comes back with a tandem bicycle. He suggests that they go somewhere where there is a great view of Salem and Carrie says that would be lookout point.

Later when she realizes she's eaten 4 plates of food, she panics. She says that as much as her life is out of control, she will have Austin and she will be thin - like Brandee. Then she realizes that to get rid of the food, she has to throw up.

Carrie runs across a disconsolate Sami and asks her if she's sick. Sami says no but everything is terrible and then goes on to say she looks horrible and she's huge. Carrie tells her that she's not - she's very pretty and still growing up. They talk about Lucas and Carrie tells Sami that since she has talked to Lucas she is thinking about going ahead with the surgery. Later she falls asleep on the couch and has a dream about she and Austin after the surgery.

John and Kristen argue some more. John discovers that Kristen is reading War and Peace in Russian. They reminisce about the times they spent (separately) in Paris.... (since when did John remember this stuff?) Eventually John lets Kristen have the bed and wanders outside to talk to IzzyB about his dilemma with Marlena and the baby. He is interrupted by Kristen screaming from inside, begging someone not to shoot.

Rebecca goes to see Marlena at the hospital and tells her how happy she is about Mar's pregnancy and how it's helped her resolve some issues with John. Marlena isn't terribly receptive and has to leave. Rebecca stays behind and uses the phone and a nurse comes in and thinks she'd Marlena. The nurse gives her the schedule for Lamaze classes and says that since she is due in November, her classes will start in September.

At the party/recital, Rebecca overhears Marlena say that the baby is due in October. After Roman goes off she comes over and asks Marlena what the story is - at the hospital she overheard a nurse say that the baby is due in November. Marlena looks positively sick as she tells Rebecca that it is a mistake, and Kim, who is there tells Rebecca that she needs to Talk to Marlena. Kim asks Marlena what she is going to do - this is getting too dicey and Roman is going to find out and tell John. Roman comes back and suggests that perhaps he and Marlena go with Kim to Europe for a holiday. Marlena isn't that keen but Kim says it's a wonderful idea. Marlena tells Roman that she wants to go home and he takes her Kim follows them home and tries to talk Marlena into going with her.

Meanwhile John is donating a whole lot of baseball gear to a team that Kristen is coaching. He hangs around to let her harangue him for a while and he teaches her a few of the finer points of baseball . Rebecca eventually comes down and reminds him about the party. They turn up and Rebecca noted that Marlena isn't there. She tells John about the conversation they had and asks what difference does it make if the baby was conceived in January or February. John of course knows exactly what difference it would make. He heads for the pay-phone and calls the Brady residence. Kim answers the phone and John asks to talk to Marlena.....

Marlena sends Roman off to the kitchen to get her some ice-cream and asks Kim to tell John that she's asleep. John tells Kim to get Marlena to call him in the morning. He tells her that he's going on a business trip and needs to know the due date of his godchild. Kim says that sure she'll get Marlena to call him. Roman comes back out, bringing out Sami who mentions her diet. Roman and Marlena are not thrilled. Kim says she has to go get ready and they tell Kim they'll let her know what they decide and she heads off home. Sami asks them what that was about - are they going away? They tell her that they may be. They discuss the diet more and Sami gets short with Marlena. Marlena tells her that being hungry can do that and she hopes it doesn't let it affect her relationship with her friends and family. Sami shoots back that Marlena is a fine one to be talking about affecting the family and runs upstairs. Roman asks Marlena what that was about and Marlena puts it down to hungriness.

Later, upstairs, they make the decision to go to London. Later when Roman is asleep, Marlena is by the window and feels the baby moving. She thinks that it's father should feel this but then wonders who the father is. Meanwhile over at the loft John is working out that if the baby is due in November it was conceived early Feb and it could be his baby. He spends most of the night pacing around over it and falls asleep in a chair. Rebecca wakes him with a cup of coffee and asks him if he wants to talk about it. He says no - he just gets restless sometimes. He asks her what time it is and she tells him almost 7:30 am. He tells her he has a really important appointment and she goes off to do Brady's bottle. He tries to call Marlena's place but Marlena is the only one that hears the phone and she ignores it. Roman comes in and tells her he has some bad news, an important case he has been working on has had a break and he needs to stay in Salem. However he convinces her to go. Marlena tries to patch things up with Sami and Sami apologises, saying that she was starving. They hug and then Sami says she has to go up and dry her hair. She wishes her mother a good trip and adds on that she should forget about everything around here. And everyone She leaps up the stairs and Marlena turns around shocked, wondering if Sami knows. After they leave for the airport, John swings by the Brady house and Sami tells him where Marlena has gone. She asks if it is important and John tells her his excuse for wanting to know the due date. Sami tells him it's October of course and then practically shuts the door in his face. At the airport, Marlena tells Kim about the phone ringing and says that she hopes the plane isn't delayed. Kim agrees that they will feel a lot better once they are in the air.

Kristen manages to hammer her wrist while putting up a sign outside the door of the Hortons
Tom puts some ice on it and gives her the directions to the Horton cabin, telling her she needs some rest. Alice overhears them and tells John later that he looks like he needs a break, giving *him* the address of the Horton cabin. So John and Kristen both turn up there later on in the day.

John and Kristen argue at the cabin and then John manages to get her to eat some of his food. However this doesn't win Kristen over. But then John takes a shower outside and Kristen has a good eyeful.

John wakes Kristen but she doesn't want to talk about the dream. It's hot so they both go for a swim in the lake. John notices that Kristen's bracelet has the initials K.D. but Kristen tells him it was her mothers. They talk about her work with children but the fact that she doesn't want to have any, and John tells her about Isabella and the nightmares he used to have after she died. But after John walks away she says that she can never open up to him like that again. Then later on she slips (I think it's) the bracelet into her bag while John is sleeping.

John and Kristen prepare to catch the ferry but Kristen realizes John has left his watch behind. She sees the inscription and wonders.

Marlena and Kim fly back from Europe, both worried about what John is going to do. Marlena tells Kim that she doesn't know if she can keep lying to him. When they get to the hospital, Kim gets a message to say that Jeannie has just broken out with the measles. Marlena is shocked but quickly says that it is the second trimester of her pregnancy and she should be fine - but she'll call Dr. Morgan. Sami comes up and tells her that John was trying to get hold of her but Marlena hides her worry well. Later, Sami and Jamie overhear her in the staff lounge on the phone. She is thanking someone for flowers she has received and says she missed him and can't wait to see him. Sami is relieved when she says "Roman, you don't have to make me dinner. Jamie goes and Sami heads into the room to see Marlena. She asks if Marlena has spoken to John yet and Marlena tells her that Tom said he was out of town. Just then John pops his head round the door and says he'd like to have a word to Marlena.

However, Sami walks to where John can see her and asks what he wants to talk to her Mom about. Fade out on Marlena's stunned face.

John tells Sami that he wants to talk to Marlena about an article for Bella. Sami says that he is surprised that he didn't mention that the other day when he was looking for Marlena. She says he seemed much more interested in when the baby was due. Marlena says that's because he's the baby's godfather. They are interrupted by Roman, come to surprise Marlena and take her home. He goes off to check on something and Sami gets called out by Tom to call Alice about schedules. Marlena goes to follow Roman out but John grabs her arm and tells her they need to talk. He needs to know the truth. She says she can't and won't talk to him now and he leaves. Sami and Jamie are surprised to see him Go. Marlena and Roman head off to the party and eventually John turns up at the pub to collect Brady's playpen. Shawn is shutting up and tells him about the party and invites him. At the party, Marlena goes outside to get some air and John finds her there. He says that she has to stop lying to him, he has to know the truth. This baby wasn't conceived in January was it. She turns away from him and he asks again, was it. Eventually she shakes her head and he asks her when. She whispers that it was February. Then, John says, this baby could be mine. After a long moment, a tear slips down Marlena's cheek and she silently nods her head.

John says so he was right. If she conceived in February, the baby could be his. She nods and says that it could, but she told him already that her life is with Roman, no matter how she feels about John. She tells him if Roman finds out about this, he'll be destroyed and so will her family. John says he isn't out to hurt anybody and Marlena begs him to leave this alone. She tells him they made a mistake, making love was a mistake and now they have to forget about it. John exclaims that if this is his child it will be kind of *impossible* to forget about won't it? Meanwhile inside Roman asks Kim where Marlena is and Kim offers to go outside to find her. Marlena thinks that maybe John's right. Maybe it's unrealistic to think that they could ever forget what happened between them. John reaches out and brushes her shoulder and hair. She jumps and he says 'maybe Doc?" With tears in her eyes, she turns and tells him that alright, she can never forget what happened between them, but they can't dwell on it. John's not talking about dwelling, he's talking about a baby that maybe they created together. She jumps in and says that maybe she and Roman made it together. John says he's just trying to do what's right but he doesn't know why it feels so wrong. He says maybe she's right, after all, they only made love once in the time frame they're talking about, so Roman stands a better chance of being the father than he does...unless she and Roman.... She blurts out that she and Roman have a perfectly norm.... She's in tears and she cries that she doesn't want to have these conversations with John as she walks away from him. He asks her if there's a test she can have right now to determine whether he is the father or not. Marlena pauses for a moment, wipes her face and walks back to him. She says that there is a test that gives the baby's blood profile. He tells her to take the test and settle it once and for all. Marlena says that actually Dr. Morgan wanted her to take the test anyway because she was exposed to rubella. John says she *what*. She explains that Jeannie had the measles. John says then that's even more reason to take the test - the baby could be affected. Marlena smiles and says not necessarily - *she* didn't come down with symptoms so it's unlikely the baby will have been affected at all.. John wants to know what that means...she's *not* going to take the test. She begins to tear up again and says she doesn't know how he can keep *asking* her to take it. He says what does she mean, he has every right in the world to ask her to take it, this could be his child here. This could be their child. Kim comes to interrupt them to say that Roman is looking for Marlena and to say goodbye to them. Marlena walks her inside after telling her about the conversation with John. Kim says goodbye to everyone (she's heading to L.A. to be with Phillip who'd directing a feature.) She eventually goes but just after she does, Caroline collapses. She's having bad chest/stomach pains and they rush her to the hospital. Once there Carly takes her off for some tests and John follows Marlena into the lounge. He tells her that she can avoid him all she wants but they have to come to a decision. She says she made her decision when she decided to lie about when the baby was conceived. He says that because she lied, that decision is not acceptable to him. He needs to know if the baby is his. She says that Roman is coming to pick her up soon so she simply can't talk about this now. John asks when. Marlena says she doesn't know when. He says that she won't be able to sleep till this is resolved so he decides that she can meet him some time tonight. She says no, but he says yes, he *chooses* to meet with her some time tonight.

Kristen talks to some guy who is watching over her and then runs into John.

At the hospital, John pressures Marlena about meeting with him. She says she doesn't want to sneak around anymore, she won't sneak out to meet him. John says alright then, they will go to her office. But Kristen interrupts and then Roman comes by. He's been paged and has to go to the station. John offers to give Marlena a ride home but she says no, she'll grab a lift with Carly. Later John calls her at home from the hospital. He says she has to have the test so that they can make a decision about what to do. She tells him that she already made her decision in Paris...she is going to bring this baby up as Roman's, whoever's it is. It deserves the best start in life and it can only get that in a family with a father and brothers and sisters. John asks what if Brady is it's real brother. Marlena can't even think about that. John says she's going to though, every time she looks at him, or Brady, she's going to wonder. She says it's no use, she has made her decision and she is sticking by it. She hangs up on him but a short while after, he turns up at her door. He won't leave and they go out into the back yard. John says she has to have the test. Surely she wants to know if this baby is Roman's and then they wouldn't have to have this conversation any more. She says but what if it isn't. What if it's that one in a million chance and it's yours? What will you do? John says he won't know till he's faced with that, but they have to know. Eventually he gets Marlena to agree and she says she will have the tests done as soon as possible. What they don't know is that Sami is hiding in the bushes and hearing a great deal of this conversation. Then Roman's car pulls up and Marlena panics and asks John to go. He does and she goes into the kitchen and gets some cold chocolatey gooey stuff . She comes into the living room and asks Roman why he's home so early. He says they wrapped up the case early. Sami comes in and stares at Marlena. They ask her what she's doing home, and she says that Bo and Carly came home early, so she thought she'd come home. Roman asks her if something is wrong and she starts off saying that she heard....then she says she heard that Nikki Alamain was a brat and tonight he proved it. Marlena wants to know if anything else is wrong, if she's eating sensibly. Sami says she is and she's just tired and then she heads up to bed.

Marlena is at the opening and John turns up. He tries to talk to her but Sami interrupts and takes Marlena upstairs to get ideas for their nursery. When they come back downstairs however, John is still waiting and he asks Sami if he can have a moment with Marlena in private. Sami has to go but isn't happy. John asks Marlena about the tests and she says she's having the test to determine if the baby was affected by the measles this afternoon. After that she will get the blood types and match them up then. But John realizes that this may not be enough, they may need a DNA profile. Marlena agrees and John says he wants to do it now. Marlena tells him to go to the hospital and she'll meet him there. Sami is pleased to see John leave but when Marlena also leaves she decides she has to follow them. At the hospital Marlena meets up with John and they go to her office where she draws the blood. Then they come back out to the main area and Sami (who has arrived) hides so they won't see her. Marlena sends John's blood for analysis and then tells him she has to go and have her test. John says he'll wait for her in the lounge.

Marlena and John are in the lounge, Sami is still hiding behind the door, listening. Marlena tells him that they just have to wait now. John asks her if they can't have the blood test for the baby done first and she says no, they can't arouse suspicion. She has to protect her family and Roman. She says she has to go to the 4th of July picnic, Roman is waiting for her. John tells her he and Brady are going to swing by there later on, but he's not real excited about seeing Roman. Marlena asks why, and John tells her that every time he sees Roman and her together he has a hard time - Roman's always holding her, or patting her stomach, and it's hard. Marlena tries to interrupt, but John tells her he can't help it, he's only human. He says that every time he sees her he can't help but think she could be carrying his child. He says he knows it would be better for everyone if this baby is Roman's, but he asks her if there isn't just a part of her that remembers the passion that they shared and isn't there just a small part of her that would like that passion to live on in their child. Marlena's eyes fill with tears and she can't say anything for a moment. Meanwhile Sami listens on and shakes her head. John asks Marlena if there isn't just a small part of her that wants the baby to be his. Marlena tells him she can't even think about that. John points out that as much as she wants this baby to be Roman's they can't ignore the possibility that it might not be. And if *he* isn't, John can't imagine himself walking away from his own flesh and blood. (The background music swells, the same music that plays when they were on the plane). Marlena avows that she knows it's Roman's. John says to prepare herself in case it's not. Then John says that even though he doesn't want to bring this up right now, at some stage the truth is going to come out about what happened between them and Roman and the whole family is going to know. Marlena shakes her head and says no emphatically and walks past John. She says just made a mistake and they can get past it, she knows they can. John says they're not talking about making love here, they're not talking about any kind of casual sex. If that were the case they never would have acted on their feelings. They're talking about *love*. They're talking about two people who were *married* to each other, a deep emotional connection that has never *died*. *That* is why she got together and she knows it. Marlena's eyes are filled with tears and she nods her head slowly and inhales raggedly. She tries to protest, saying it was wrong what happened. John says he's not *denying* that. He tells her he's tried to live his life as though nothing has happened, but if this child is his, he can't do that any longer. That's what Marlena's afraid of, that's why she keeps praying that it's Roman's. John says so what? That *is* her answer? Marlena wipes a tear away and gives a rueful smile, shaking her head. John asks her again if that's her answer. She turns to him and says "I love being married to you. I love being your wife." But she loves Roman and she's made that choice now. She belongs with him *and* with her children. And John is going to have to accept that and respect that. And what if this child is theirs, John asks. Marlena gets more upset and says until the blood tests are in they can't even speculate about that. She says she has to go no and tries to walk to the door. John grabs her and stares at her face. In tears she has she has to go now and she pushes past him and leaves the room. John follows her out and Sami walks into the room, looking upset and nauseous.

Sami's Bulimia Storyline Begins - Kristen First Appears

2008-07-13T00:00:00.000-05:00

May 3 - June 4, 1993

Austin tries to get Carrie to tell him she loves him after the kiss, but the girl is too determined and he doesn't succeed.

Roman calls Caroline at the Penthouse Grill and she and Carrie rush to the hospital. They are all standing around like spare parts when the Doctor comes out and asks them why nobody told him that Marlena was pregnant.

At the hospital, Carrie and Sami get Jonah and Austin in to see Marlena. She tells them about Wendy intending to go to Chicago. Lucas comes over with the flowers. Marlena sees the Lilacs and says she can't believe Kate remembered after all these years. Lucas asks if she knew Kate before but Marlena covers and says that she meant all these *weeks* - she told Kate about the lilacs at the retreat. Later Austin comes back to talk to Marlena about Carrie but Roman finds him there and is none to pleased.

Sami comes in and tells Marlena that she is sorry she didn't get anything for Mother's Day (that is, after Marlena tells her the baby is due in the fall). Marlena tells her that's okay - she's happy as long as she's there with her sweetie-girl and hugs her.

Austin and Jonah put up fliers to try and contact Wendy and she sees one.

Wendy tells the social services woman that he's her baby and she can't take him away. The others (including Abe, Lexie, Billie and Carrie) vow to help her find a job and a place to live. The social services woman agrees that Wendy deserves a chance and vows to her that social services will not fail her.

Carrie meets Lucas, Lucas falls for Carrie.

Sami invites Austin to the Spring Fling (poor guy) but he tells her she's too young. She vows to make him see that she's not and that she is the right woman for him - the only woman that will be able to help him get over Carrie. To do this she offers to help Lucas find out the truth about his Dad in return for accompanying her (in military uniform) to the dance, to make Austin jealous.

Marlena heads home where Carrie is organizing a welcome home party. However, once there, Roman asks Carrie if she picked up the cake to celebrate their Scorpio baby. Carrie is confused - she thought it was going to be a Libra baby. Roman tells them that he was talking to a nurse at the hospital who told them that their baby is going to be a Scorpio baby too and she has access to Marlena's records. Marlena tells them all it was a mix-up but John looks rather interested. Sami however, looks rather sick.

Phillip decides that Austin and Jenn can cover the Spring Fling for the show.

At the hospital, Lucas gets a copy of his birth certificate, and everything checks out. Alice remembers that Tom delivered him and then puts two and two together and realizes Kate was the woman who was beaten. Tom can't remember who it was that recommended her as a patient, but it must have been someone important as he was taking a break at that time. Alice also talks to a woman moaning about not getting a grant to keep the teen centre open. Guess who?

Lucas and Sami tried to find out the truth about his dad.

Carrie went swimming in the Horton's pool and Alice called Austin to come over. Austin and Carrie agreed to be friends.

Sami has someone at the station check out the photo of Lucas's dad. They discover it was taken at the Salem Photography Studio.

Sami and Lucas take the photo down to the studio where the young guy tells them that the man who took the photo will be in later and he will get him to have a look at it.

Carrie tells Roman that she is moving out.

Marlena and Carrie help Sami get ready for the spring fling. Sami looks gorgeous in a red off the shoulder dress that Carrie paid for. Lucas comes and picks her up in Victor's Porsche.

Roman has to take photos of his little girl before Sami and Lucas leave. But before they do, Lucas congratulates Carrie on winning the Face of the 90's contest. Sami and Lucas turn up at the Spring Fling and Sami does her best to make Austin jealous and is convinced it's working. However Austin is mooning over Carrie. Carrie runs out of the house and tracks Kate down at the dance. She is in tears and begs Kate to stop it because she thinks that everyone has voted for her out of pity.

Lucas gets the guy from the photography studio to meet him at the dance, where he tells Lucas that Kate Roberts purchased the photograph recently.

Sami manages to score a dance with Austin.

Kate takes Carrie down to her office and talks to her about the competition. Carrie is adamant that she wants to pull out of the contest and Kate calls the printers, but the mag has already gone to press. Austin comes in and tries to convince Carrie that she will get through this.

Lucas is pretty po'd at Kate and gets drunk at the dance. He heads to the lift but Sami follows him and tells him she won't let him drive. She hits a button in the elevator and they get off at Kate's floor. Lucas yells at him Mom wanting to know why she lied. She pulls him into the office and he tells her he knows about the photograph.

Carrie heads home, but Austin follows her and climbs up to her room and through her window. He tells her that he's really sorry that he didn't get her out of the competition and that she's hurting so much, but that he's also kinda glad she can't pull out of it because now everyone else will see what he sees. He tells her how incredibly beautiful she is to him and tells her that he will go if she gives him a kiss. She agrees grudgingly, but it soon becomes willing as they sink to her bed. However she shoots upright when she hears a car and realizes that Roman is home.

Roman comes up and knocks on Carrie's door. Carrie leaves Austin behind in her bedroom and goes out to talk to her father. She asks Roman to get her out of the Face of the 90's contest and Roman agrees that if it's that important to her he will try. However he still isn't happy about Carrie moving back into her apartment and Austin overhears him mention something about his and Carrie's deal. Carrie goes back to her room and sends Austin home, adamant that it's over.

Kate and Lucas fight, Kate tells him that he was illegitimate and she doesn't know his real father's name. Lucas tells Kate that he's not going back to military school, or Westpoint and he's staying here in Salem or she'll never see him again.

Kate is afraid to tell Lucas the truth about his father. Lucas suspects that she still may be lying and tells her he will never love her again if she is. Kate goes to see Marlena who encourages her to tell Austin the whole truth.

Carrie moves back into her own apartment. Marlena is worried about how she is going to cope with Austin next door, but Carrie promises that she will be fine. However Austin has a plan to get her back - he's bought himself a new piano and after Carrie gets back to the apartment, she hears him playing.

Billie manipulates the situation so Austin and Carrie are left together baby-sitting Benjamin. All is going well until the pizza delivery guy stops by and makes a comment about how beautiful Carrie is but then stares when he notices her scar. Lucas takes Sami to the Heart and promises to help her get Austin. He is fancying Carrie and is surprised to find out that she's still a virgin. But he picks up a bimbo at the pub and leaves Sami there alone.

Billie gives Carrie an job doing her accounts for Countess Wilhelmina and Jenn offers to lend them her laptop for a while. Kim comes by and is told another Brady secret. Carrie tells her about her and Roman's deal - but Kim thinks that she is using that for an excuse.

Sami decides to go on a diet and Lucas rubs it in more when he tells her she'll have to have a great bod to get Austin to notice her.

Roman tries to fix the air-conditioning and Alice gives him some advice he doesn't want to hear - namely to change his mind about Austin - Austin and Carrie belong together. She advises him to go and talk to Austin after his show today.

Roman talks to Kim and Jennifer who both try and convince him that Austin is a changed man, but a drunk guy comes along (he's an ex-boxer) and blames Austin for ruining his career. He says that Austin wouldn't throw the fight and accuses Austin of killing Gus Bartoli. Roman walks away but Austin follows him and tells him that he thinks Roman has something to do with the wall Carrie is putting up.

Carrie goes to see Dr. Phelps. He tells her that he may be able to heal her skin with grafts but since the area is large, he will probably have to take some skin from her body. Carrie is distressed at the thought of further scars without any guarantee of her face being healed and decides that she doesn't want to go through the surgery.

____________________________________________________________________

Wendy comes back to the pier where Marlena collapses. Wendy gets a passerby to call an ambulance.

At the police station, Abe gets a call to say that a woman fitting Marlena's description has been reported. John and Roman get down to the pier and go with Marlena and Wendy to the hospital. In the Trauma Centre, the doctor wants to do a cat scan to determine the amount of trauma to Marlena's head, but when he mentions it, she mutters something about her baby.

Roman is thrilled that Marlena is preggers but the doctor explains that she could have a subdural hematoma and if that was not operated on, it would be fatal. However, a cat scan to could well harm the baby. Roman is torn and doesn't know what to do. John thinks the first consideration should be Marlena. Roman goes to talk to her and she tells him to save her baby. So then, they all head off to the chapel to pray and talk to themselves.

John sneaks into Marlena's room once Roman is gone and tells Marlena that if this is his baby he won't stay away and if it is, their bond of love will get them through anything. Marlena is upset by this. Roman comes back later for the ultrasound. The doctor says that the baby looks fine and Marlena asks Roman to go and tell everyone at the pub the good news. Once he is gone, she asks the doc to do the measurements and tell her when the baby was conceived.

It's Mothers Day and Dr. Morgan tells Marlena that her baby was conceived in early February. Marlena realizes that means she still doesn't know who the father is. When John comes in however, she lies and tells him that the baby was conceived around New Years and he couldn't be the father. John is disappointed and tells her that he felt intuitively that it was his baby She tells him that she loves him (sob) but that this is bets for all of them. He tells her to take care of herself and then leaves. She begins to cry, not knowing if she has done the right thing.

Meanwhile, John goes down to the pier and remembers the night they were both at the pier and admitted their true feelings. He finally says goodbye to Marlena as he tears up a photo of her.

Marlena is waiting for her discharge papers when John comes in and tells her and Roman that he wants to talk to them about the baby, it's really important. He tells them that when Roman came back, he couldn't let go of that life. Giving up that kind of love was too hard. But now with them making a new start with the baby, he thinks it is time he got on with his life and stayed out of theirs. He wishes them the best of luck and then leaves. Roman is surprised and tells Marlena that he feels bad about how hard he's been on John. He follows John and brings him back to the room. There he tells John and Marlena that he is sorry for the way he has tried to push John out of the family. Carrie told him how lucky he is - how he has everything that a man would want and he realized she was right. He tells Marlena that after he came back and they tried to go back to living normal lives he had a whole lot of insecurities and it didn't make it easy for them. He tells her that it was silly, but that he wasn't secure in her love for him, until the moment he found out that she was pregnant. He says he knows that he is a very lucky man and that he should never have tried to push John out of their lives. Then he drops the bombshell and asks John if he will be godfather to the child. Marlena pipes up saying that it's a lot to ask of John. Roman says he knows, but he also knows that if anything happened to him or Marlena, he knows that John would be there to look after the kids, and the new baby. After all, Carrie and the twins are good kids and that has a lot to do with John bringing them up. John says of course he would be there for them but.... A nurse interrupts to tell Roman that Dr. Horton is free and he goes out to talk to Tom about Carrie. John tells Marlena he feels just terrible. There was Roman apologizing for his mistakes when John was the one who betrayed *him*, sleeping with Marlena. He tells her he couldn't even look at Roman. Roman comes back in and asks John if he's made a decision. John thinks that maybe they should just separate this crazy mixed up relationship once and for all. Roman says that they don't have to, it works as it is. John asks to think about it some more - it's a big decision and then leaves. Marlena and Roman talk for a few minutes about John and then Marlena tells him that she loves him.

John goes down to the park to think, but is interrupted by screams from nearby. Most unfortunately he has to be a hero and go and rescue the blonde from the knife wielding muggers.....

John manages to save Kristen from the muggers and she tells him she is a social worker who does most of her work for nothing. She discovers he's John's Black and doesn't seem terribly thrilled about it. Just then, John notices that she's cut and she swoons into his arms.

Marlena tells Roman that it was a misunderstanding. She had said something to the nurse about hoping her baby was a Scorpio baby and the nurse had misunderstood. Everyone comes round for the party but it is interrupted by John carrying Kristen in and dumping her on the couch like a sack of spuds. Roman and Tom take her out to the kitchen to tend to her wounds and question her about the mugging. John goes in but when he comes back out Marlena notices he's been cut too. She sits him down and treats it, telling him that if it had been much deeper he would have been in real trouble. He of course just tells everybody it's a scratch. Marlena tells Sami to go upstairs and get one of Roman's shirts for John. Sami glares at her and Marlena tells her in no uncertain terms to "Do it *now*. Roman comes back in when John is dressing in his (plaid) shirt and mentions something about their Libra baby. Then he proceeds to tell the room about the nurse thinking it was going to be born in November.

John and Kristen had a spat at the community centre. Kristen told John she hates rich guys. She spent half the episode ringing mystery people to tell them John Black was in Salem.

Marlena is heading off to work when Roman asks her when the amnio is going to be done. She says she will let him know. As she leaves she prays the baby will be perfect. And be Roman's. When she gets to the hospital, Alice tells her about Carrie last night. Then she runs into Kristen who is busy mouthing off about John and all the terrible things he has done. When Marlena questions her she won't elaborate and Marlena tells her to shut her mouth until she knows all the facts.

Kristen has more attitude about John, culminating with John being locked in a burning community centre and Kristen outside.

Kristen eventually pulls John out of the burning building and John accuses her of torching it herself. They argue at the hospital and as they leave. But of course John wants to help her get the funding she needs

John tries to give Kristen twenty-five grand towards the community centre, but she turns him down. John talks to Mickey about it and they arrange to filter it through the hospital. John runs into Marlena who warns him about Kristen's perceived problems with him. She tells John that since he's me Kristen he has been in all sorts of trouble and he should be careful round her. Marlena gets called down for her amniocentesis test and Bo tells John about it. Bo is going off to relieve Roman on stakeout so that he can be there. Marlena heads into the examination room and the nurse wants to ask her a few questions. She asks her how long she thinks she has been pregnant and Marlena answers sixteen weeks. What she doesn't see is John come into the room after that.

Meanwhile Kristen has gone to see the man in a wheelchair with chubby hands and the phoenix ring, wanting to know why it is that she should hate John Black so much.

John says that the baby is due early October - right? The nurse heads off and Marlena asks John how long he had been standing there. He tells her just long enough to hear the nurse ask the baby's due date. He tells her that he wants to be there for the amnio if Roman can't make it and then tells her that he thinks he should accept the offer of godfather. Turning it down would hurt Roman and might arouse his suspicions. Marlena agrees but they are interrupted by Kimberly. She is more than a little surprised to see John there and Marlena asks John to get her a cup of tea. Kim tells Marlena that seeing John there seems odd to her. This should be something private between her and Roman. She knows something is very wrong, Marlena looks very tired and she suspects her blood pressure is up. She tells Marlena if something is troubling her, it's not good for the baby. Marlena says she does have a secret, but she'd not sure if she can tell him, but then she can't help herself and it all comes tumbling out. She tells him that she and John haven't been fighting their feelings, at least not all the time - they gave into them - twice. She ends up by telling Kim what's eating her inside is that she doesn't know who's baby this is and John mustn't find out that it could be his. She just has to hope that everything works out. She tells Kim that she feels terribly guilty and she thinks that Kim must hate her now. Kim tells her no - she has made enough of her own mistakes and she can't judge Marlena. Marlena tells her she loves Roman and will do anything to keep this marriage together. Kim says she knows Marlena will, but she is concerned that the lies will end up hurting Roman, however well intentioned they are. John comes back with the tea and Kim heads off. John stays for the amnio and when Roman eventually arrives, it's all over. Marlena has a picture of the ultrasound for him - but they can't tell the sex of the baby yet...not that she wants to know.

___________________________________________________________

The psychic (Twila) tells John he is in love with a woman with the initial M. After a moment, he recovers and tells her that he does care for a lady, Rebecca Morrison. Rebecca is thrilled and thinks that John is declaring his love for her. However, the psychic knows that it is Marlena. Roman turns up and Twila reads his palm, telling him that they are going for a trip to the mountains.

Marlena tries to talk Roman out of them going to the mountains but it doesn't work and they go. They get there and head out to play tennis. When they get back to the room, they end up play-fighting on the bed. Roman decides he needs a shower and heads off to the bathroom. Marlena gathers some clothes from a bag and heads to what she thinks is a closet door. However, when she opens it, she discovers it is a door to an adjoining room, and John and Rebecca are lying on the bed making out.

Marlena apologizes to John and Rebecca and goes back into her own room but John still feels bad. Rebecca tells him not to worry so much about other people. Roman and Marlena head out for a walk around the lake. However, they manage to bump into John and Rebecca, who had much the same idea. Marlena is clearly uncomfortable.

Back at the resort, she is woken by the sounds of John and Rebecca laughing. When they quieten down, she goes to the window, where she takes an ice-cube and runs it down her neck. After several moments, she takes her robe and slips out of the room - destines for the hot springs. Down there, she slips out of the silken robe and negligee she is wearing and into the pool. John, hot after his bonkfest, goes to the window and sees Marlena as she slides into the water. He watches her for several moments, and then, unable to stand it any longer, he takes his key and leaves the room.

John makes it to the hot springs, just in time to see Marlena dive under the water. When she doesn't surface, he panics, disrobes and dives in. He comes up but he still can't see her, so her dives under again. He comes up the second time with Marlena in his arms. She's a little surprised when he tells her he didn't see her come up and was frightened for her. The sexual tension as they are so close gets too much and the begin to kiss hungrily. Eventually, John regretfully (and most irritatingly) pulls himself away. He says that they should get out before they do something they will regret. They get out and dry themselves. Marlena puts her negligee and robe back on and John his robe. John apologises to her for what just happened, but she tells him that it was her fault. She tells him she willed him to come down to the pond. She explains that she heard him and Rebecca laughing, and she knew when it stopped that they would begin to make love, and she couldn't bear that so she had to get away. She knows him so well, she knows his body, she knows how hot he gets after making love and she knew he would go to the window to get some air. So she went down to the springs and she knew, if he saw her there, he would be drawn to her. He has been so good about the whole thing, and she has done nothing but push him away. She pushed him into someone else's arms, and the moment he was there, she couldn't bear it. So she wooed him back, she seduced him back and she is so ashamed of herself. He tells her it is not her fault. He tells her that nothing ever has, or will, take away his love for her. She asks about Isabella. He tells her he loved Isabella with all his heart, but it didn't take away his love for her. Marlena asks him if he can point out Isabella's star. He does and she tells Isabella that they were just having a 'moment' but that they will be fine. Eventually they decide to go back to the resort, but as they do, they hear a noise in the bushes and realize that someone has been watching them.

John comes to Marlena's room in the morning to talk about who it was who saw them at the pond. Marlena is not sure if it was Roman, he seemed to be asleep when she came in. Roman is furious when he comes into the room and finds John there, with Marlena still in her nightwear. John makes some excuse about bring Marlena a change in schedule for the day. Roman mutters that he is going for a shower and Marlena thinks he knows. She determines to tell him the truth about everything, but John asks her to wait a while. He goes downstairs and Victor tells him that it was he who saw them last night. John calls Mar as she's about to tell Roman. She puts down the phone and tells Roman impassionedly that she loves him.

Later, Roman goes downstairs and John invites him for a one on one basketball. They play like men possessed and a bystander comments to Vic that they must be playing for something really important. Marlena comes out and stops them, just as things are about to get brutal and she takes Roman off for lunch. Prophetically, Vic tells John that it's not over between he and Marlena. He and Marlena and Roman are on a collision course with fate. And God help them all when it happens.

Marlena is feeling nauseous at the pub and goes to the bathroom to freshen up. Kim comes into the pub and Shawn asks her to talk to Marlena as he is worried about her. Kim does and gradually comes to the conclusion that Marlena could well be pregnant. Marlena says absolutely not, there is no way she could be pregnant. Kim tells her to just go and get a test anyway, just in case. Marlena says to drop it, in no uncertain terms, but later at the hospital, she does pick up a home test. When she gets home, she quickly does it and discovers the distressing news that she is, indeed pregnant. But with who's child?

NIGHT SINS

A DAYS OF OUR LIVES PRIMETIME EPISODE

FEBRUARY 26, 1993

Everyone heads off to the Titan Party. The finalists are announced for the face of the nineties and Carrie is shocked to discover that she is one of them. Upon introduction to Austin Sami discovers her crush is actually Carrie's boyfriend and disappears to the lower levels of the Titan building. Carrie and Austin decide to head out to the cabin but as they are leaving the party, Gus rushes up and throws the acid. Carrie pushes Austin out of the way and catches it in the face.

Marlena makes it to the party and calls Roman. He tells her again that he won't be coming and cuts her off. She runs into John, who is surprised to see her without Roman. She tells him that Roman is coming but he tells her that she couldn't lie to him when they were married and she can't lie to him now. He tells her she looks beautiful and wants to talk to her, but all she wants to do is get far away and she tells him that if he loves her he won't touch her....ever again. She heads up in the elevator to the party but John soon catches up with her and spends most of his time trying to pursue her around the room without much success. Finally, when the photographers mistake them for Carrie's parents and husband and Wife, Marlena loses her cool and rushes from the room. John finds her down in the conference room. She says she needed sometime alone, he says he'll go but first there is something that he wants to say to her. He gives her the Zen speech and tells her that 'that's how it all started, with one man that woke up'. He tells her that's how she makes him feel, awake and alive and if nothing else comes out of this he just wants to thank her for that. He tells her that now he will go if she wants him to. He is so close he reaches out and touches her face. She is flushed, her chest rising and falling as she tries to steady her breaths. He asks her again if that is what she wants. Does she want him to go? Slowly she shakes her head, her eyes glittering with tears as he leans in and kisses her. They separate moments later and, her eyes wide, she leans back on the conference table, John lowering her carefully down to the polished surface. He joins her on the table for a spot a serious dusting (and moaning) as the door slowly opens......

The Aftermath: March 1- April 2, 1993

John and Marlena complete their conference table tryst after lots of moaning and John affirming that this is right...just like it was on the plane. They're meant to be together. Unfortunately sweet little Sami sees them at this juncture and lives are changed forever. She rushes off to the lift where she finds Roman who is looking for his wife. She gets him back up to the party but he tries to find out what is wrong. Meanwhile down in the conference room Marlena is smoothing her dress and checking her makeup. She can't even look at herself in the mirror. She doesn't know why she does this, why they do this when they know that it's wrong. John tells her that they can't help themselves. He asks her if she can deny that they make each other happy, if she regrets making love to him. With tears in her eyes she whispers that he makes her very happy, she doesn't regret that. But she says, he has to understand that this will be the last time. As difficult as it may be, she will stay faithful to Roman from now on.

In the meantime Austin realizes that Carrie's been injured and Jonah becomes the hero and uses his new doctor skills while sending Austin to call the doctor. The ambulance arrives and Austin rides with Carrie.

Marlena rushes from the room and back up to the party where Sami is about to spill all to Roman. She is surprised to see both of them and thinks that Sami is upset because of the boy she has a crush on. Sami tells them he came with another girl and then runs off. Roman asks Marlena to leave her be and then apologizes for his behavior saying it was none of his business whether she took the job or not. They kiss but their evening is soon interrupted by Jonah who tells them about Carrie. They rush to the hospital where the news is not good. Sami is sulking and won't talk to John or her Mom. John is having a hard time not being able to comfort Marlena- but Sami catches the surreptitious squeeze of the hand that he gives her and decides that it's time to tell her Daddy something very important.

At the hospital Sami wants to tell Roman about Marlena and John but every time she is about to, something gets in the way. Caroline brings Marlena some clothes to change into. She heads down to the chapel to pray fro Carrie but is unnerved as John sits next to her and the conversation turns to them. She is blaming herself for Carrie's accident, if she hadn't been with John but with her family maybe this would not have happened. When they get back to the trauma center, Austin wakes up and remembers that it was Gus who threw the acid. Roman blames him and Marlena blames herself and John for not telling Roman about Austin's problems. Meanwhile Austin is distraught at Carrie's injuries.

Roman and Bo track down Gus Bartoli but he has already been strangled by the time they get there. In the highlight of the show, after finding out that John knew about the trouble between Gus and Austin, Roman tells John that he's had enough of his involvement with his wife and children and he wants them out of their lives. John understands that Roman is upset, but, he tells him in no uncertain terms, they are his life and he has no intention of walking out on them now.

At different stages, everyone goes to see Carrie who is still unconscious. Sami tells her about John and Marlena, Roman tells her he loves her despite what she may think, John tells her that he loves her too and he won't let them go and Austin tells her that he is so sorry for what happened. Then she wakes up.

Carrie wants to know what's happened to her face. She's terribly upset when Austin tells her. Roman gets to the room, tells Austin he wants to see his daughter alone and tries to comfort Carrie. He tells her that he will do anything for her and she tells her that she wants him to ask Austin to come back to the room. He does but after Carrie is asleep he calls Austin outside and tells him if he doesn't stay away from his daughter he will have him up on charges that will send him to the State Pen.

Roman finds Sami at the pub and is less then thrilled to see the headline and photo in the paper that proclaim that Marlena and Carrie are John's wife and daughter. Shawn tells him that John is not doing this on purpose - he's a good man and Roman should think on that. Roman (or the character that used to be Roman before Reilly got hold of him) fumes silently. Meanwhile John slips over to Marlena's to tell her that Roman knows that he knew about Austin's problems. He doesn't want her to tell Roman that she knew - he doesn't want to cause problems. Or does he? Suddenly he is telling her that she has to leave Roman and come back with him. Marlena, already spinning from the whole she-slept-with-John-at-the-party-and-Carrie-got-injured thing is thrown for a loop. No she can't leave Roman, she loves him. John thinks she *loved* him but now she has eyes only for Black. (Pity he can't remember that these days.....) She doesn't actually disagree with him, but then hears Roman pull up and begs John not to let Roman see him there. John wants to stand and face him, to stop all the game-playing, but eventually agrees to go for Marlena. Roman and Sami come in and Sami heads upstairs to write in her diary about what a monster her mother is and then sob pitifully. Downstairs, Roman wants John out of their lives. Marlena, more than a little confused about how she feels about everything thinks that if Roman thinks that it must be right.

Austin sits next to Carrie's hospital bed and as she sleeps he tells her how sorry he is and how he wishes he was the one lying there. Jonah and Austin talk about how expensive Carrie's hospital bills will be and Austin says he is going to find a way to pay for them.

Bo goes to visit Carrie. He tells Austin that he does not think Roman will stop trying to get him out of town and wishes him luck.

Sami comes in with breakfast for Roman. She knows he has been working all night and thought he would like something to start his day off. Marlena asks why she didn't get her any Sami tells her she thought she had already gone. She asks Roman if she can skip school for the day so she can be there when Carrie gets her bandages taken off. Marlena doesn't think it's a good idea and says so a couple of times but Sami pointedly ignores her. Roman looks at Marlena deliberately and then tells Sami it's fine. Down at the hospital Marlena goes to see Carrie in a sweet scene in which Carrie thanks her for always being there. Mar tells her she will be there later for the unveiling. Austin is there and outside he apologizes to Marlena. She tells him that it wasn't his fault but also warns him not to take Roman's threats lightly. John also goes to see Carrie. He says he will be there also and Carrie tells him she doesn't know what she would do without him.

Carrie's bandages come off. They tell her it's okay but outside they are all devastated. Carly says she will need reconstructive surgery. Roman finds out John has offered to pay for Carrie's medical costs and is really pissed. Marlena tells John that she and Roman will work out what is best. Roman makes out that he is surprised to hear loyalty from his wife.

Austin wants to marry Carrie. Roman gets Tim to cut a deal to incriminate Austin.. Roman tells Carrie that Austin is going to jail. Carrie begs him not to send Austin....and offers to make him a deal.

Carrie tells Roman that she will do him a deal, Austin's freedom in return for her not seeing him again. Austin comes in and Roman leaves. He asks Carrie to Marry him but she says no, she hates him for what happened to her. He doesn't understand why she's doing it but he says he won't change his mind and leaves the ring there.

Carrie won't see Austin. He gives Sami the key of the cabin to give to her and promises that one day he and Carrie will use it.

Austin turns up at the studio to ask for a job. Jenn isn't interested but suddenly the execs want something Irish on the show. Phillip gets him to play some Irish music on the piano and promises Austin some more work. Jenn however isn't too thrilled.

Carrie asks Sami to get her a long chain, but not what for. Roman talks Carrie into coming home with them. Eventually she does and he takes her upstairs to get settled in. Marlena calls from her conference and Sami tells her that Roman is out. Sami goes off to get the chain for Carrie and when she comes back she turns the TV on. Austin is on there and Sami can tell that Carrie is proud of him. Sami races down to the studio and tells Austin about Carrie's reaction and that she is at the house without Roman. Austin heads over there and wants Carrie to tell him that she still loves him.

Austin tries to get Carrie to admit that she still loves him but Roman gets home too soon and send Austin off. Carrie starts calling her dad Roman and heads upstairs. Sami follows her and tries to get her to talk but has no luck. Austin serenades her but he also has no luck.

John goes to see Carrie. She tells him that she broke up with Austin. He wants to know why - he knows they love each other. He realizes it's something to do with Roman. Carrie says it's her own decision and for the best. Later she is by her self and gets a call from Marlena who is at the airport. She has to make a stop on the way home. Carrie says that's okay and then after she puts down the phone, she goes to the mirror and takes off her bandages. When she sees the scars she begins to cry.

Marlena gets home and finds Carrie in the corner. She gets her to the couch and tells her that she understands how Carrie feels. Carrie tells her that she doesn't know, she is still beautiful, she still has someone to love her. Marlena wants to call Anna, but when Carrie Says no, she suggests Austin. Carrie again says no and runs upstairs.

Marlena apologizes to Roman for what happened with Austin and Carrie. Roman goes up to see Carrie, who doesn't want to know.

Marlena wants Carrie to talk to Kim but Roman doesn't want that so Mar gives in. They are kissing when Marlena sees Sami at the door. The daughter from hell offers to make Roman breakfast. Marlena says that this has gone too far, she wants to know why Sami is being cold towards her. Roman goes and leaves them to it, but Sami doesn't want to talk. Marlena says that if she's done something to hurt Sami then she is really sorry. Sami wants to know why she is being so concerned, she's always so wrapped up in herself that she doesn't notice anybody else. She runs out leaving an astonished Marlena.

Victor and Kate begin to discuss the Carrie issue. Austin interrupts them and makes an impassioned plea for them to let Carrie stay in the contest. After he leaves, they talk and agree that she should stay in. Later Marlena sees Kim, who got the news from Mickey earlier that the judge agreed the murder was self-defence. Kim tells Mar that she will go and talk to Carrie as an aunt, surely Roman can't disagree with that. Marlena arrives back home and walks in on a confrontation between Carrie and Roman. Carrie runs upstairs and Marlena questions Roman as to what is going on.

Austin pitches a story to Phillip and Jenn about Jonah delivering Wendy's baby. He shows them a video and Phillip suggests that he and Jenn become a team. Jenn has to agree.

February 1 - 26, 1993 Austin Enters Carrie In The Face of The 90's Contest

2007-11-04T14:57:00.000-06:00

Sami calls Carrie and after a little persuading, arranges to come over to Carrie's apartment. She asks about Carrie's boyfriend, Austin. At that moment Austin is down at the Pub asking Caroline what he should put into Carrie's entry essay for the Face of the Nineties competition. Later Sami goes on about how Roman and Marlena's love is an epic love story. Of course when Austin leaves the pub and Sami is coming in she bumps into Austin for the first time.

Austin sees an old college friend at Salem Place - friend's working at the Spectator now. Austin tell him he's working on the essay to enter Carrie in the Face of the '90s contest and that he needs someone to take the pictures. Since the friend's a photographer, why doesn't *he* give it a whirl...but the pics have to be taken secretly - Carrie doesn't know he's entered her. Sami runs headlong into Austin, and is totally smitten and unable to speak.

Carrie and Sami are at Carrie's apartment. Carrie's carrying on about how romantic the day with Austin was - window-shopping in the rain. She can't wait for Sami to meet him and invites Sami to dinner that night. Sami reminds Carrie it's Roman and Marlena's anniversary and she doesn't want them to have to miss another one. Carrie suggests they throw a party. After donning all Carrie's make up and sticking a bow in her hair making her look like Minnie Mouse, Sami heads out. Carrie isn't far behind as they go out and run around town. Sami runs into Austin once trying to find decorations and such for the last-minute party. Sami calls Kim to invite her to the party - almost being caught by Roman who says she looks...um....different. She runs into Jonah and invites him, then she and Carrie are back at the pub for hot cocoa. Jonah's comes in - he's bought a new jacket to go clubbing tonight. Sami says she thought he was going to the party for her parents. He says he is...the action in the clubs doesn't start until later. Sami says she knew that. She really did.

John and Marlena begin their affair on The Plane.

Marlena returns to the house, glad to see that the light's aren't on thinking nobody's home. Actually as she walks in she realizes she is right in the middle of a Surprise party for hers and Roman's anniversary, which Sami and Carrie have put together. Marlena's thrown for a *major* loop and stammers around, not sure how to deal with a celebration of her marriage after she just slept with John. Well wishes from the familiy have her near tears and desperately attempting to keep her composure, they all think it's the surprise. Let the guilt trip begin! She does a lot of head shaking and nodding as she looks like she could throw up. Sami asks if she forgot today was her anniversary Roman tells Sami to let her mama catch her breath. Caroline comes over and grabs Sami Roman tells Marlena she looks more surprised than he was when he walked in. Caroline, Sami, and Carrie bring out the cake iced with "Roman and Marlena 4 Ever". Sami tells Roman and Marlena that it's time for them to cut the first piece. They cut the cake - Roman helps a trembling Marlena and suggests they split one. He feeds her the first bite and asks how it is. She says it's really good. Roman tastes it and announces they now have someone who can cook in the family.

Marlena manages to get away for a split second and almost loses it. Partygoers call for a speech and Roman toasts his beautiful, loving, and ever faithful wife as who through their many years together has made him the happiest man in the world. She says she loves him - she just loves him so much.

Marlena tells Roman that she loves him and he says he knows she loves him. But she wants to make surehe knows how much and that he never forgets. Roman says he's reminded of that everytime he looks at her, everytime he touches her, he knows how much she loves him. They kiss as she fights back tears. He says he never thought he could love her more than he did on the day her married her, but tonight, he realizes that he loves her more everyday. She has made him one very lucky guy. With that, she lowers her head, virtually sobbing. Roman pulls her close and hugs her as we see John walking up to the front door.

John opens the door. It is several moments before her psychic connection kicks in and she moves her eyes to the door where he is peeking in. Roman feels her stiffen and pull away and asks if something is wrong. At the same time, several of the Brady clan see John at the door and pull him in. He tells them the plane was delayed because of the rain. Marlena pales as Sami tells him Carrie went out to the airport to find him.

John follows Marlena and she turns around to get the fright of her life as he is standing beside her. She asks him what he is doing there. He says she was so upset he was a little worried about her. He tells her he is sorry about walking into the party, he had no idea. She says neither did she, she was so wrapped up in her feelings for him she forgot it was her anniversary today. And then she came home and Roman was celebrating their marriage and He says it's okay. She says no it's not and he has to go. She escapes as Carrie and Sami accost John, wanting to know why he was leaving without telling them.

Carrie and Austin go to dinner and dancing at Wings.

Later Marlena runs into Sami who asks her if something is wrong because she looks terrible. Marlena tells her she hurt her feelings and Sami tells her that she has to look better for the benefit partytonight. She drags her off to the spa where they have a great motherdaughter afternoon. They come out, Mar looking gorgeous and Sami looking like a lioness with all that hair. They are giggling in Salem place when Marlena spies John and she quickly moves Sami off.

Carrie is going to the benefit, but without Austin. It's Valentines Day and they are going to surprise each other. Carrie calls Sami and asks her to getsome stuff together. Sami meets her outside of Wings but Carrie can'tget away so Sami has to take the stuff up to the apartment.

Sami went to Carrie's apartment to take the candles, CD player, and decorations over there for Carrie and Austin's romantic night out. On the way up, she gets stuck in the elevator with Austin. Sami's so smitten with that she forgets to ask his name again. Austin's all nice and sweet and calms Sami down and reads her palm and plays music. They finally get out. After the party, Carrie kicks Sami out comes in. Austin promises her when he gets the cast off, they're going to go to the mountains and finally be together.

Carrie dresses up as a barber to help Austin shave.

Meanwhile Roman heads over to Carrie's but finds her at Austin's among the shambles of his ruined apartment. It has been wrecked but they tell Roman it was just a robbery. They end up having a huge argument and Roman leaves. Austin leaves too and Roman sees him later on talking to Gus Bartoli. Back at the apartment Carrie calls Marlena and asks her to come over as it is urgent. Marlena says that she will. Carrie also calls someone else .

Marlena gets to the apartment and they talk about Roman and Austin until there is a knock at the door. Marlena asks Carrie if she was expecting someone else and Carrie says yes, she called John and asked him to come over.

John and Marlena talk to Carrie who tells them that Austin is being threatened by Gus who lost money because Austin threw the fight. Marlena is upset and wants Carrie to tell Roman. Carrie refuses and begs that they give the money to her so she can pay Gus off with what he lost. John says they can't give in to a man like that. He'll just come back for more. They tell her that they will help in anyway they can and she leaves.

Roman and John have one of their little spats over John being too intrusive in Carrie's life. Then Roman heads home where Marlena has set up a lovely romantic dinner for them. Roman thinks there must be a reason but Marlena asks if she can't just have dinner with him. They talk about Carrie and Roman tells Mar about how Carrie turned to John and says he can't help but feel a little jealous of John sometimes. Marlena says he has no reason to be jealous of him but Roman says when Carrie would rather go to John and he bids $100,000 for a dance with Roman's wife he can't help it. Marlena obviously shaken says she thought that they'd been through that. Roman says he knows but sometimes he can't help it.

Carrie and Austin decide to go to the Titan party and Sami has grabbed Caroline and Shawn's invite and is going with Jonah. Carrie is freaks out over "being" with Ausitn after Austin told her he went and had a blood test and was HIV negative.

Carrie tells Marlena that she is going away for the weekend with Austin. She seems to be not totally sure about the whole thing and tells Mar that she is afraid that she is not good enough for Austin. Marlena tells her that every young girl feels like that on her first time and that if she is just herself that will be good enough. She tells Carrie that no birth control is 100% effective and that she has to be aware of the risks and responsibilities of an unplanned pregnancy. Roman arrives home just in time to hear them agree that they don't have to tell him where Carrie is going. He and Carrie have a big fight and she leaves.

Austin gets accosted by Gus once again, but tears up the contract and gets into a scuffle with Gus and his lackey. John breaks it up and tells Austin that if he has any more trouble with Gus to come to him. Later Gus gets hold of some acid...if he is going down, then so is Austin. At the pub itself Carrie arrives to meet Austin and they head off to get ready for the party.

Billie bails Tim out and Bo goes down to question her. He works out pretty quickly that she's covering for Austin.

Billie tells Austin that they have to get out of Salem, she's afraid and he agrees to go. He tries to write a goodbye note to Carrie but she turns up and he takes her down to the Pub where they talk about his mother. Then they go up to the apartment where he give's her his mother's broach. She happens to see the screwed up paper and asks him if it's true - is he really leaving. He tells her he is and she runs out. He finds her outside and they kiss. But Gus's goons grab Carrie and hold her while they start to beat up Austin.

Bo and Billie find Austin and Carrie, the goons have spilt leaving Austin bleeding on the ground. They get him to hospital where Carly says he has a lot of trauma to the head and they are not sure how it is going to go. Billie accuses Carrie saying that it was her fault and that she doesn't understand Austin - she's never had life hard. Carrie says that's not fair, she lost her father and then her step-mom, then she had to go stay with her real mom who didn't want her. She just doesn't shove it down people's throats like Billie. She tells Billie that she hasn't cornered the market on suffering. Billie apologises to Carrie and they hug. Then they go into see Austin who is still unconscious.

Austin is still in a coma. Billie and Carrie are asleep in the room when Carly comes in, in the morning. She sends him down for a cat scan and later she told Carrie and Billie that Austin may have brain damage when and if he comes out of the coma.

Austin comes out of the coma and seemes to be alright - apart from a badly broken arm....Roman discovered Carrie's name in the police report and headed down to the hospital to find out what was going on. Carrie wouldn't tell him any thing and she told him that if she had to choose between him and Austin she'll choose Austin. Roman goes to see Carrie to see if he can get her to talk to him but she won't. She asks him to trust her but he says he can't trust Austin and she is in over her head. She said that he didn't trust her either. He told her he just loved her and wanted to protect her.

Roman and Marlena's phone rings. It's Abe from the house telling them the house was broken into, but nothing was stolen that he could tell. A few of Marlena's files were just thrown around. He tells Roman they can't really tell if anything is missing until he and Marlena come home and look for themselves. Roman thanks him, says he owes Abe one. Abe says he owes him a lot more than that, but who's counting? Roman tells Marlena about it all and she's instantly worried that it was some sleazeball tabloid reporter trying to get a scoop on Kimberly's story since the files were all that were bothered. He knows Mar will worry about it all night if they stay there, so he announces the vacation is over and they rush home.

In the time John's upstairs, Roman and Marlena are awakened, decide to go home, pack, check out, and DRIVE HOME from the ski lodge. Marlena immediately heads for the files and is relieved to find that Kim's is still in tact. As they try to figure out what happened, a crash is heard from outside. Cops scatter and Roman goes out, gun drawn, to find the perpetrator. "Daddy, don't!" "Sami??" (She tried to escape out her bedroom window and apparently fell). He doesn't shoot, just stands there still aiming and the sticks spin.

ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL August 4-11, 1997

2007-08-01T23:15:00.000-05:00

In honor of Carrie and Austin's 10th Anniversary, September 8, 2007, we are will be having special things going on at Carrie and Austin Online all September. We are bringing the Blog up a few years to bring you the lead up to the Carrie and Austin wedding and Honeymoon. Added to the Blog (thanks to friends at DaysDownunder), will be screen caps from the time. We will pick up where we left off with Ali Sweeney's first scenes in 1993 in October.

It is July 20, 1997. John and Marlena's first wedding has just been cancelled because Kristen has brought a sick Roman to the church, which of course was a surprise since everyone thought Roman was dead. Roman is taken to the hospital and then to the DiMera Mansion. Kristen has lied to Roman about her and John being together. Since telling him the truth about Marlena and John would be too much stress, John and Marlena are going along with the charade.

Since their FAKE Wedding in September of 1996 (when they married to keep Will), Sami had tried every trick in the book to keep Austin. Sami tried to move into the Kiriakis mansion with Vivian's help. Unfortunately, their plans failed. Soon, Kate began legal proceedings to have Vivian kicked out of the house, and custody of Will given to Austin. Desperate, Sami decided to blackmail Kate. She went to Kate's bedroom and rummaged through her things until she finally found something valuable inside the closet. In a white envelope, Sami discovered scandalous information that would make Kate a very hated woman. In January of 1997 Sami stole Austin's car so he couldn't go on a trip with Carrie. It backfired when something went wrong with the transmission on the car, and Sami crashed. Sami tried to warn Austin but he wouldn't listen and accidentally backed into Sami. When she awoke from the resulting coma, she couldn't remeber the last four years of her life, including her marriage to Austin, and the fact that her father, Roman Brady, was dead.

Sami did get her memory back after she was shocked by her iron while ironing. Sami got another shock when Carrie and Will were on the pier and Carrie was hit by a box and knocked unconcious and Will walked off and fell off the pier. Carrie dove in after him and though they were brought up unconcious, both were okay. Sami noticed on Will's test results, which the hospital sent her, that Austin and Will's blood types were different. Sami tricked Austin and Lucas into showing her their driver's licenses and realized that LUCAS, not Austin was the father of little Will. Sami snuck into the hospital records room to change the bloodtypes, but was caught by Carrie, Austin, Lucas and Mike before she could do the deed. She told them that she had dream about Marlena and went looking for her, not even thinking about her leg. Everyone bought it, except Carrie.

OPEN: August 4, 1997

Meanwhile Lucas and Sami talk, and Sami says though she's thrilled her dad is alive she still will not let Austin annul their marriage. Sami, Austin, and Will all go in to see Roman. Roman wakes up and looks at Sami and Will and smiles. Austin decides to take Will out of the room and leave Sami to talk with her dad in private. Sami promises her dad she'll stay with him for as long as he wants. Roman begins taking about having a strange dream about a baby, and wants to know if it was Sami or Eric. Sami says she's right here, and he comes to and asks who the baby was. Sami says that the baby was her son Will. Sami says she's married to Austin now and they have a son Will. Roman is confused and says he's Carrie's boyfriend, and thought they'd be married.

Sami says things didn't work out for them. Sami goes off about how she had a beautiful wedding in Paris. She asks him if he's happy for her, and he says yes, he's just worried about Carrie. Sami says that Carrie is fine, and is in love with Mike Horton now. Roman is confused, but Sami assures him they are in love. Sami then says she has a favor to ask of her dad.

Mike brews Carrie some herbal tea and they talk out on the patio. Carrie goes through her normal Austin and me will never be together speech. When she claims she sometimes feels all alone Mike assures her she's not. Carrie says she doesn't know what it means to have him standing by her, and he says he'll always be there for her. Lucas, who is eavesdropping, says he doesn't want this fling he started to get out of hand, so he butts into their conversation. Lucas asks if he can do anything and she asks for a glass of water. Lucas leaves, and Mike and Carrie pick up talking. Mike tells her not to give up hope about her dad, and Mike gets a call about Roman's test results. Mike tells Carrie that it's not good news, Roman has been exposed to a synthetic germ that they don't know how to treat. Carrie asks how serious it is, and he tells her it's fatal.

Chelsea decides to watch Will so Austin can spends some time with his wife. Austin was about to make a phone call when a man shows up at the house looking for Austin, he has papers from Mickey Horton!

The man is Mickey's assistant, and as he hands Austin the annulment papers Lucas hears.

At the DiMera mansion Lucas sees that Austin has gotten his annulment papers.

Austin cheers he's free, and then decides to go find Carrie. Austin asks Lucas where Carrie is, and he says she's in the garden.

Out in the garden Carrie is in tears after learning her dad is dieing, and Mike comforts her. Mike says he can't say how long Roman has, and tells her to make the most of the time she has. Carrie hugs him and says she doesn't know what she'd do without him, and of course Austin hears it. Mike and Carrie talk for a bit more, and they both say the other is pretty special.

Austin goes back in and when Lucas asks what he's looking at Austin says it's something that will make Carrie very happy. Lucas goes into the Carrie depends on Mike now speech, but Austin says that's going to change starting today. Austin fantasizes about tell Carrie about the annulment and Carrie says she wants to marry him today. Suddenly Kate shows up and Austin wants to show her something. Lucas quickly slips out of the room and goes to warn Sami about the papers.

Sami asks Roman to do her a favor, and he agrees. Roman then says he can't believe that Carrie isn't with Austin. Sami says Carrie is happy with Mike now, and when Roman asks how Carrie feels about her being with Austin Sami says she's been very supportive. Roman looks at Sami and asks his peanut if she's lying to him. Sami asks why would he think that, and he says he has a hard time believing Carrie is over Austin. Sami assures her that Austin and Carrie drifted apart, and Roman believes her. Sami is happy that he's finally home, and Roman tells her he doesn't know what the future has in store for her. Sami goes off on how he has a wonderful life ahead of him, and that she knows Carrie would want Roman to walk her down the isle when she married Mike! Roman says he can't believe they are that serious, and Sami says if he was to give her the go ahead she just might marry Mike, because she's always respected his opinions. Lucas, who is now eavesdropping, can't believe the lengths Sami is going to. Roman says he doesn't think he could get that involved, and Sami says she knows it would mean the world to Carrie. Sami sees Lucas, and goes to see him. When she learns about the papers Sami tells Lucas to stop Austin from showing Carrie those papers. Sami returns to Roman, and asks him to please give Carrie her blessing with Mike.

Downstairs Kate is ecstatic that the marriage is finally annulled. However, Austin is worried about Carries reaction because he thinks she could be falling for Mike. Austin says that she sees the way she looks at Mike, it's the same look she gave him when they were falling in love. Kate tells him not to even think that way, and he shouldn't let anyone stand in his way of marrying Carrie.

Mike and Carrie are still talking, and he tells her that if she can show Roman she's happy it might make him feel better. Mike then says now that Sami has Roman perhaps they can tell Sami the truth. Carrie says that's a good idea, and suddenly Austin shows up to talk to Carrie.
Lucas comes back downstairs to learn from Kate that Austin is talking with Carrie in the garden. In the garden Carrie tells Austin that Roman is dieing, and he hugs her. Austin asks if Sami knows, and Carrie says no and that she doesn't know if Sami's ready for that kind of shock. Austin says Sami's going to be in for another shock, and says he has some news.

Back inside Bo calls Kate, which distracts her from Lucas. Lucas then interrupts Austin and Carrie, and he tells Carrie to come quick, it's her dad. Carrie then rushes into the house and Lucas smiles behind Austin's back.

Carrie rushes in and finds Sami, who says dad is all right. Sami says Roman wants to see him now, but warns her that daddy is worried about her and really wants her happy. Carrie goes in to see Roman and asks her how long she was going to keep him in the dark about her special guy. Carrie is confused and says Sami told him all about it and nothing would make him happier to see her marry someone as fine as Mike Horton.

Downstairs Mike looks at the newspaper picture of him and Carrie, and when Kate sees him she says Austin better hurry. Austin goes upstairs to see Carrie, and Sami says she's in with Roman and she just knows her dad will like to see him before they leave. Austin listens at the door and hears Roman tell Carrie he's so happy she's found a man like Mike.

Roman begins to cough, and Carrie becomes worried. Roman says right now the only thing that matters is that his children are happy and stable. Roman asks Carrie to be honest with her and when he asks if Mike makes Carrie happy, and Carrie says Mike makes her happy and is everything she ever wanted. Sami and Lucas watch with delight as Austin hears the words he fears come from Carrie's mouth.

At the DiMera mansion Kate sees Mike looking at a picture of him and Carrie and says Austin better hurry up and tell Carrie the truth.

Upstairs Roman tells Carrie he wants her to be happy and taken care of, and tells Carrie that he wants her to be happy with Mike, because he's worried about her being alone. Roman asks Carrie if Mike makes her happy, and Carrie says he does and he's everything she could want in a man. Roman is happy for her, and says she has his blessing. Outside the room Sami and Lucas spy on Austin, who watches and overhears everything.

Back at the mansion Austin runs out of the house upset, and when Mike asks what's wrong Kate says she suspects it has to do with Sami. Outside Austin dreams about how it was his fantasy to tell Carrie the truth,

Kate comes out and asks Austin if he told Carrie. Austin says he didn't, and he's not going to! Austin tells Kate that Carrie is in love with Mike, he heard her tell it to Roman. When Austin says he's lost her and there's not a damn thing he can do about it Kate says "Oh yes there is!" Kate tells Austin to tell Carrie about the papers and she doesn't care what Carrie told Roman, she still loves him. Austin says the only thing he wants is for Carrie to be happy, and Mike makes her happy. Kate thinks she may have said that not to upset Roman, but Austin says that Roman is dying and she wouldn't lie to him in his condition. Austin says he has to stop focusing on what he doesn't have and focus on what he does have, Will. Austin says he wants to give Will everything he can give him.

Back inside Lucas is pissed off because as soon as Austin shows Carrie those papers they are both out in the cold. Carrie storms out of the room and asks Sami how dare she tell their dad that she's in love with Mike. Sami claims she only wants Carrie to be happy, and she plays on her sympathies and says oh daddy has to get well, he just has to, and she hugs Carrie. Stefano applauds as he watches the drama unfold and yells "Bravo Bravo!"

Caroline comes over to the mansion and Mike tells her the truth about Roman without even having to open his mouth, she can read it from his face. Carrie comes downstairs and hugs her grandmother. Back upstairs Sami says that Austin won't leave her now that he's lost Carrie, and that love will come in time. Sami says her dad is her hero, he's kept Austin and Carrie apart, and stopped John and her mom's wedding.

Downstairs Carrie and Caroline talk, and Stefano learns that John and Marlena are at the hospital. Carrie tells Caroline that Sami doesn't know Roman is dying, and she tells her what Sami is up too. Carrie thinks Sami's memory is back, and she has nobody to help her prove it.
Mike goes upstairs to check on Roman and Sami leaves. Lucas tells Sami that Mike is going to tell Roman what has gone on, and he'll ruing everything, but he doesn't. Sami says they are home free, nobody else will tell her dad their secret. Sami suddenly there is one person who could jeopardize everything. When Lucas asks who could blow her cover Caroline shows up. Caroline tells Sami that she wishes Sami wouldn't tell Roman things that aren't true about her and Mike. Mike comes out and tells Caroline she can go to see Roman, and she takes him some chowder with great healing power. Roman says he's so happy to be back and wants to spend every minute with the family he loves, and with Marlena. He also says he's so happy that everyone is happy, and then says God bless Kristen for bringing him back.

Outside the room Lucas asks Sami who could blow her cover, and she says it doesn't matter because he's not in Salem. Lucas says who, and Sami says it's her brother Eric! Downstairs Carrie is feeling guilty she told her dad some things that weren't true, but Mike tells her little white lies are okay if it's for Roman's benefit.

Back at the DiMera Mansion Mike is trying to help Carrie straighten the mess out Sami has made for her with Roman. Mike realizes what the comments Roman made to him earlier were about. Carrie says she didn't have the heart to come clean with him about them or Sami. Carrie says she would hate it if Austin thought they were a couple but Mike says Austin knows her better than that. Carrie says she wishes she could prove Sami has her memory back, and hopes Eric will come home.

In the park John and Marlena are taking a walk and she says she's been thinking about Eric a lot lately. John says he wishes he'd shown up for the wedding, but Marlena feels that she's driven Eric away some how. Marlena says Sami was always daddy's little girl, but Eric was all her's. Marlena says that she feels so guilty that she drove him away by betraying Roman, but John says that it was Stefano's fault. Meanwhile Eric is spying on them from behind a bush.

John realizes someone is watching them, and tells Marlena not blow their cover. John runs behind the bush and grabs Eric. Eric says it's him, Eric, and Marlena grabs him and hugs him.

Upstairs Sami is beaming that her plan has worked out, but Lucas says Carrie will eventually tell him the truth. Sami says he'll never tell him as long as Roman is ick and when he's better Austin will love her and will have forgotten about Carrie. Sami then comments only Eric can ruin her plan, and he'll never come home from Colorado in the next day or two. Lucas asks if Eric knows about his dad because that might bring him home, but Sami says she doubts it. Lucas comments what kind of a brother is this guy, and Sami yells he's a great brother. Sami decides to call Eric and she leaves him a note on his machine.

Outside Austin is sulking because he thinks Carrie is in love with Mike now and that he was to late. Sami finally shows up to see Austin and she tells her how she used to always be able to tell a little white lie to Roman, but Carrie could never lie to him. Austin says he's been thinking a lot lately, and wants to tell Sami something. Sami says she knows he's worried her dad won't welcome him into the family but she says she knows he will. Sami begins to cry and Austin hugs her.

Back at the DiMera Mansion Mike is trying to help Carrie straighten the mess out Sami has made for her with Roman. Mike realizes what the comments Roman made to him earlier were about. Carrie says she didn't have the heart to come clean with him about them or Sami. Carrie says she would hate it if Austin thought they were a couple but Mike says Austin knows her better than that. Carrie says she wishes she could prove Sami has her memory back, and hopes Eric will come home.

Upstairs Sami is beaming that her plan has worked out, but Lucas says Carrie will eventually tell him the truth. Sami says he'll never tell him as long as Roman is ick and when he's better Austin will love her and will have forgotten about Carrie. Sami then comments only Eric can ruin her plan, and he'll never come home from Colorado in the next day or two. Lucas asks if Eric knows about his dad because that might bring him home, but Sami says she doubts it. Lucas comments what kind of a brother is this guy, and Sami yells he's a great brother. Sami decides to call Eric and she leaves him a note on his machine.

Marlena and John are thrilled to see Eric in the park.

Eric says he's sorry he missed the wedding and asks them why they aren't on their honeymoon. Marlena tells him the wedding was post-ponned. Eric asks why they didn't marry and Marlena tells him that Roman is alive. Eric asks if he's really his dad, and when they say it's him Eric wants to go see him now. They all then decide to head over to the house to see Roman. On the way over to the house Marlena explains everything that's happened, and about Roman's illness. Eric doesn't understand why John doesn't just by their own house, and John says that takes time. Eric says so what, and asks what they aren't telling him (He doesn't know Roman is dying). When they finally arrive at the house before they go in Eric asks them what they aren't telling him. Marlena tells Eric that Roman doesn't know anything about what Kristen has done or that John and Marlena were going to marry. Eric asks why they don't tell Roman the truth, and Marlena tells Eric that Roman is dying. Marlena tells Eric that Sami doesn't know, but she felt he could handle it.

Eric, John, and Marlena go inside. Carrie is thrilled to see her brother and John and Marlena go upstairs. Lucas shows up and when Carrie introduces her to him he asks what he's doing here. Eric says its nice to meet him to, and Lucas goes off to find Sami. Carrie then asks Eric to keep a close eye on Sami.

In the foyer Lucas tries to warn Sami about Eric but she refuses to listen to him. Sami walks into the other room and is confronted by Eric. Eric says hey sis, walking real good, and all Sami can do is say Eric! Sami hugs her brother and is really delighted to see him. Eric says he heard about dad and the wedding, and she says everything has worked out for the best. Eric says he thought she had forgiven him, and she says she meant about dad. Sami goes off to get Will, and Carrie tells Eric now that he's home he feels things with Austin may change. Before Carrie can tell him she thinks Sami has her memory back Sami and Marlena show up. Marlena tells them that they can go up and see Roman now.

Eric and Marlena go upstairs to see Roman, and Caroline is so glad to see him home again. Roman is shocked and can't believe he's there. Roman hugs him and says your home, and Eric says we both are. Eric says he's going to stay in Salem, and he promises Roman he'll be there for his sisters and him.

Meanwhile Austin has decided to show Carrie the papers. When Austin comes into see Carrie she hears her tell Mike that she couldn't have gotten through this without him.

Also Sami is worried that Eric could figure out she's faking her amnesia. She says if he figures it out he'll lose everything.

At the DiMera mansion Roman is glad Eric will be here for his sisters, and when Roman says Carrie and Mike might be getting married soon Eric asks him who told him that? Roman tells him that Sami told him that, and that Carrie told him she is very happy. Downstairs Austin sees Mike comforting Carrie and thinks he's lost her already so why tell her about the annulment. Carrie goes upstairs to see her dad as does Caroline. Carrie tells him he should get some rest, and Caroline offers to stay with him. Carrie and Eric leave, and Eric asks her how she feels about Austin. Carrie says she loves Austin, but only told Roman that she's happy with Mike so he can be happy. Eric is angry that everyone is keeping stuff from him, but Carrie says they only want him to be happy. Carrie then says she's so glad Austin didn't hear her talking about Mike because it could be a disaster. Eric is still confused as to why Sami would say such a thing and Carrie says she believes Sami has her memory back and is scheming again. Carrie tells Eric he wasn't here to see the change in her, and Eric says he was hoping the sweet Sami was back. Carrie says that he's the only one who can since Sami's true feelings and asks him to find out the truth.

Meanwhile Sami is panicking because she just knows Eric will figure out she has her memory back and then she'll lose Austin. Lucas says if she can fool him than Carrie and Mike are over. Sami says it doesn't matter, when Eric looks at her and talks face to face with her he will figure it out, then he'll tell Carrie. Lucas says that maybe Eric wouldn't rat her out, but Sami says he's always been close to Carrie and if he has to choose sides he will chose Carrie. Mike comes in and asks them what is wrong and Sami says with everything going on she's tired and decides to go lie down. Mike tells Lucas he's knows he's up to something and tells Lucas not to make any moves on Carrie. Lucas says he should worry about protecting himself because it's obvious he's falling for Carrie. Lucas leaves and Carrie comes downstairs and says that hopefully Eric will help them learn the truth. Austin shows up and Carrie introduces him to Eric. Eric then tells Carrie that he will help her.

Eric goes into the next room where Sami is with Lucas. Eric says he'd like to talk to her about her, and she says her life is pretty boring. Sami says she'd love to show him pictures of Will. Sami says she's tired and needs to sit down and Eric asks her if the pain is bad

and Sami says sometimes it's so bad she can scream, but she doesn't want Austin to know. Eric says that they used to kid about forgetting things when they were little but when you lose 4 years of your life it's not funny. Sami says it's horrible and Eric decides to leave her to rest. Eric returns to the other room and he tells Carrie he definitely senses something. Eric says he senses she's in terrible pain, and Carrie is upset that she's fooled him as well. Austin is angry and says a lot of people have secrets

Back in the other room Lucas says all Eric picked up on was that she was in pain and Lucas says this twin connection must be phony since Sami hasn't been in pain for awhile. Sami says yes she was and shows Lucas her hand, she's cut it with something. Sami says that it was the only way she could fool Eric, if she didn't mask her true feelings with pain he'd figure everything out. Lucas tells Sami she's sick and can't keep doing this forever, but Sami says she'll do anything it takes to hold onto Austin.

Back in the other room Eric tells Carrie he's sorry he couldn't help but he really only sensed pain. Austin tells Carrie that he doesn't think Sami has her memory back, and Austin goes into see Sami. He tells her if she's in pain to tell him, he doesn;t want any secrets between them. An upset Carrie runs out of the house and Mike goes after her. Carrie doesn't understand what is up with Austin, he was so cold to her. Carrie says she doesn't think anything will stop Sami now, Eric was her last hope. Back inside Austin goes to get Sami a pain pill and Eric returns. Eric is amazed to see that her pain has disappeared and asks her what she's up to.

At the Mansion Marlena comes out to the garden to talk with Carrie and Mike goes to check on Roman. Carrie tells Marlena what Sami said to Roman about her and Mike and she didn't want to tell him the truth because she fears it will make him worse. Marlena understands and she says she wants to tell Roman that she and John are planning to marry, but she doesn't want to hurt him either. Mike shows up with some antibiotics from the ISA and Marlena says that she wants to know she did everything she could to save him. Carrie says they all know she did the best she could, but Marlena says Sami might not. Mike returns and Marlena decides to go give Roman the antibiotic. Meanwhile Carrie is disappointed about Eric not being able to read Sami, but Mike says not to count him out just yet.

In the mansion John tells Kristen that Marlena is the only woman he wants in her life. He tells her there is nothing she can do to keep him and Marlena apart, not now and not ever.
Lucas finds Kate and she asks him if Sami is responsible for letting Roman think Mike and Carrie are a couple. Lucas tries to avoid the question but he says that Sami has won so far, she just might get Austin in the end.

Downstairs Eric asks Sami what she's up to, what is she hiding. Eric says he's picking up mixed signals from her and he wants to know what's up. Sami turns her back to him and rubs the wound on her hand and starts pressing it. Eric says he can sense things about her and something's wrong. Sami says that she think's he's hiding something because he never came home when she had a baby, during her accident, or for dad's funeral. Eric says that Marlena's parents needed him as well but Sami says he could have come home for a day or two. Sami says that she can sense he's angry about something, and suddenly Kate, Lexie, and Abe all come in.

Out in the garden Eric tells Carrie and Mike that Sami did a better job reading him and hit on some nerves. Eric says he's really sorry and that he wanted to do something good before dad dies. Sami, who's spying, comes out and asks what he means. Sami becomes hysterical and Marlena shows up. Sami asks her to tell her it's not true, and Marlena says she's sorry. Sami is outraged that everyone knew and didn't tell her. Sami says she needs some time alone, and Austin says he'll take Sami and Will home. Marlena tells Carrie and Eric they should go home and rest, and Carrie tells Eric he can stay with her.

Austin, Sami, Eric, and Carrie go home. Carrie says at times like this it helps to be with the ones you love. Austin and Carrie stare at each other for awhile, but Austin leaves when Sami calls for him. Eric comforts Carrie when she says she needs Austin more than ever now. Carrie notices Eric is so calm and he says there has been enough tears shed for all of them. Back at Austin's place Sami promises Will he'll never lose his dad Austin and nobody will ever learn the truth.

Austin wakens in the morning after dreaming about Carrie telling Roman she loved Mike. He gets up to find Sami fully dressed sitting on the couch watching home videos and crying about Roman being terminal. Next door Eric and Carrie are chatting about what's happening. Eric tells Carrie she's amazing for putting her own needs aside for Sami. Eric hopes to catch Sami lying, but Carrie reminds him staying close to Dad is the most important thing right now. Mike shows up on his way to take off Roman's bandages and thought Carrie might like to join him. Eric tells Mike he can tell he cares about Carrie and Mike agrees, but said he'll never get in between Carrie and Austin (please Mike, change your mind about that). Eric goes next door and finds Sami and Austin watching old home videos (we don't see them) and she kids him about a trip to Niagra Falls when they were kids and his weak stomach. Eric tells them about Mike and Carrie going to take off the bandages and Austin asks Eric to stay with Sami for a while as he has some things to do. Carrie threw on a sundress with spaghetti straps and Carrie tells Mike how Austin and her dad are the two men she loves most in the world and she'll never give up on them

At Sami's, Eric catches Sami as she says something about losing Austin to someone else. Before she has a chance to say much, Lucas knocks on the door (big surprise) in his suit and tie. He re- introduces himself to Eric who's hesitant to let him in, but does. Lucas and Eric don't hit it off to good and Lucas tells Sami after Eric leaves that he's trouble and he's just waiting for Eric's twin radar to kick in and detect her faking her amnesia. Sami breaks down about Roman's condition and she can't lose him again. Lucas tells himself it's up to him to keep Austin and Carrie apart with Sami on this emotional roller coaster right now.

The bandages are off and everyone is happy to see Roman is indeed Roman. Marlena rushes into his arms and hugs him with everyone watching and Mike interrupts them and hands them a mirror so Roman can get a look at himself. Carrie comments he's as handsome as ever and he looks at Marlena and tells her she's the most beautiful woman he's ever layed his eyes on. John tells Roman he's going to give him some time alone with his family, but Mike goes to examine him, so Carrie and Marlena step in the hall. Carrie is concerned about how Marlena is handling everything. Marlena tells Carrie there is a conference in L.A. about bacterial infections next week, but she doesn't want to leave Roman alone. Carrie offers to go and Marlena suggest Mike go too as he'll understand the technical jargon. Carrie agrees. She asks Mike, but he regretfully says no as he's covering another Dr.'s patients while he's on vacation. Carrie understands, but agrees to call Mike with what she finds out.

Back at her apt., Carrie finishes packing her suitcase and Eric walks in to find out where she's going. She goes next door and asks Sami to tell Austin where she went and won't be at work for a few days and Lucas offers to drive her to the airport. While looking for another photo album, Sami finds the annulment papers.

At their own home Kate and Lucas discuss the same old thing and the annulment papers are probably too late. Austin goes to see Kate to find out about Billie. He talks about his own problems. Austin tells Kate he's going to give up on Carrie as she's in love with Mike.

Austin agrees to talk with Carrie and tell her what's going on. Even if she's involved with Mike, she deserves to know. Austin doesn't want to tell Sami about the annulment as it's BAD TIMING with Roman's situation. He does agree to talk with Carrie now though, even if she's involved with Mike, she deserves to know what's happening.

On the plane, Mike surprises Carrie.

He told Dr. Haines about the conference and the other Dr. insisted he go and he'll find someone else to cover for him.

When Austin returns home, he sees Sami holding the annulment papers and she asks him to tell her that their marriage is not really over.

On the plane Carrie tells Mike that she believes they'll find a cure for her dad but she just doesn't know what is happening with Austin. Mike tells her that Austin loves her, but Carrie says even if he managed to get an annulment she doesn't know if it could change things between them now. Carrie then passes the time on the plane by taking a Bella Quiz about "You and your Lover". As she goes through the checklist about her true love she fails miserably, she gets a 48. Mike tells her that her relationship with Austin is unique and that quiz doesn't apply to them, but Carrie says some of the questions were right on. When Carrie goes to the bathroom Mike picks up the magazine. He reads the first question "Do you want the person you love to be happy no matter what the cost to you, and he says obviously.

Carrie and Mike arrive in L.A. and Carrie sees that Mike took the quiz and got a 93. Carrie asks him who he's seeing and he says it was just a fantasy woman.

The hotel manager then says that there isn't a room for him and he's forced to take a room with Carrie. Carrie says it's okay they're just friends, it's not like they'll be getting romantic.

Carrie and Mike go to their room and when he sees the list of attendees he sees an old friend he was competitive with and how he always dreamed of the day he could show him up. Mike says to himself that he can't believe what a field day his friend is going to have with the fact that Mike needs his help, he's a very respected bacteriologist. Craig comes over and Carrie hears him bragging about his career and everything. Craig manages to one up everything Mike has done, car, wife, job, money. He starts teasing Mike about how he needs to find a girl and Carrie comes out and kisses Mike

and asks if he's going to introduce her to his friend.

Austin tells Sami, who has found the annulment papers,

that their marriage is dissolved. Austin says he didn't want her to find out this way, and especially now. Austin tells her he owes her the truth and he says their marriage was all a lie and that he never loved her. Sami says that can't be and he tells her that she was a much different person before her amnesia. Sami says she's a different person now and asks him to forget about the past, but Austin says that she hurt to many people.

Sami begins asking questions she already knows the answers to, why did he sleep with her, and why did they get married. Sami begins to bawl about how he knows she can love him one day but Austin says it could never happen because he loves someone else. Sami goes off about how he wouldn't have time to be with another woman since they've been together so much lately and that maybe she's not in love with him anymore. Austin says he hopes she does but when Sami says if she doesn't couldn't he stay he says Sami did a whole lot more that can't be forgiven. Sami starts crying and says she can't take this anymore. Austin wants to talk to her about it but she runs into her room.

Sami thinks there has to be a way out of this, but she doesn't think there is and that her life is over. Sami wonders what's going to happen to her, what's going to happen to Will. Back in the other room Austin tells Will that his mommy isn't the old Sami anymore and he hates how much the situation hurts her. Austin tells Will he'll always be there for him, and hopes he can win Carrie back by telling her about the annulment. Austin goes to leave to talk to Carrie (He doesn't know she's gone) and Sami comes out of her room and says they have to talk. Sami says since he didn't give her the annulment papers he must be having second thoughts, but he says no. Sami says she's terrified of what may happen if he leaves her, but he says it's not that simple. Austin says he's sorry but the other woman is more important to him that she is, and Sami asks if the other woman is more important than his son. Austin says nobody is more important than his son, but he is not and never will love her. Austin says he thinks it is best that she knows the truth and when he goes to leave she cries for him not to leave her.

At the Kiriakis mansion Lucas comments that his mom looks nice and Kate wonders if Austin has called because he told her he was going to tell Carrie about the annulment, but Lucas says I don't think so when Kate leaves the room.

Sami is bawling to Austin and accuses him of not caring about her or their son. Austin says that he will always be there for Will, he loves him, but not her.

Austin says they have to be honest with each other now on and Sami says she's not the hateful person she was ao why they couldn't be happy together? Austin says he cares about her very much, but he is in love with someone else. Sami says Austin doesn't sound sure that the other girl still loves him so why can't he stay with her, but Austin says she'll find someone else because he can't love anyone else but the other woman. Austin says this is best for everyone, And he leaves.

Austin goes over to the Kiriakis mansion and tells Kate what happened, and when she tells Lucas becomes angry and says he's cruel to do this to Sami now when her dad is dying and tells him he's just like Curtis. Kate keeps them from going at it and Kate tells Lucas that what he said is not true and wants to talk to Austin alone. Lucas leaves and Austin says that maybe he's right. Kate says she knew Curtis and that Austin is nothing like that man and that's why Carrie loves him. Austin says but now Carrie loves Mike and Kate tells him to go to Carrie because Kate says she'll bet everything she owes that Carrie still wants him.

Lucas goes to see Sami and tells her that perhaps Austin could love her, but realizes that it's hopeless now that Austin has gone to tell Carrie everything. Lucas refuses to let her give up because he won't lose Carrie. Lucas tells her to stay positive. Lucas starts playing with Will and says that Will is the key to keeping Austin, but Sami says she doesn't even have that hold over Austin anymore!

Austin goes looking for Carrie and learns that she and Mike have gone to LA, but he gets the hotel number anyways. Kate is shocked that Carrie went away to LA with Mike,

but she said she read something about medical convention there and perhaps that's why she and Mike are there. Kate gives him time alone to call Carrie, and learns from the hotel desk that Carrie and Mike are sharing one room with a King Size Bed!!!!

In LA Mike introduces Carrie to his friend Craig and he is impressed that Mike got such a gorgeous girl. Later Mike asks Carrie what she is doing and he says she got ticked off that Craig was ragging on him because he couldn't get a date so she decided to help him out. Mike and Carrie then tell Craig about their situation and show him Roman's chart, but Craig has never seen a bacteria as this.

Craig says that he knows of a doctor in London that could be of help and he leaves to go call him. Carrie says she thinks they might actually find a cure for her dad. Later Carrie is still ticked off about Craig and what a jerk he to Mike, but does feel guilty since he's trying to help her dad out. Mike says they can tell him when he returns, but Carrie says no, it won't do any harm. Craig returns and says the doctor should be calling them back. Carrie leaves to get copy dads records and Mike goes to get some ice. They leave Craig alone in their room, and when the phone rings he answers it because it could be his doctor friend. However, it's really Austin and Austin asks who this is. Craig says it's a doctor friend of Mike's and says that the two lovebirds left for a bit. He goes on and says how special Carrie is and that whoever Carrie broke up with to be with Mike sure lost big time (Carrie told him she dumped her boyfriend for Mike). Mike returns and when Craig tells him some strange guy called and didn't leave his name Mike says it mustn't have been important. Craig leaves and Carrie returns and she's very hopeful that everything is going to work out.

Lucas is trying to figure out what Sami meant by the "it's too late to use Will" comment, while Sami in her own apt. is sitting with Will and worried about the same thing. Austin is dreaming about Carrie and tells Kate it's too late for them and about his phone call to L.A. Kate tells duh-Austin he must have minunderstood the call. Austin said poor Sami is the one in the middle and goes off to check on Sami (who he claims made 180 degree change after accident). Kate offers to go with him to check on her and privately wishes she could tell Austin she has her memory back. Sami puts Will in his crib (the poor kid is just sitting there..that's all that kid does on the show is sleep and listen to them whining.) Sami moans about just wanting to be loved and love in return. She was never the girl that anyone loved. She loves Austin more than Carrie does and even though Roman knows she loves Austin, she never wants her dad to know all the bad things she's done. The most important thing to her is that Will loves her and maybe she should do the right thing and tell Lucas he is Will's real father. Even Will gets upset with all this moaning and crying and starts crying so that Sami has to pick him up.

Lucas shows up and asks Sami what she meant by her comment and she said, ok, I'll tell you. Just as she starts to tell him, Austin and Kate walk in without knocking. Austin goes over to tell Sami he's sorry he hurt her (no, I'm sorry to interrupt here folks). She asks if he told the other woman about the annulment and he tells her no, he didn't know if it was going to work out. Sami tells Austin that she and Will are moving out and will be out of his hair.

Sami explains that they're NOT married, he doesn't love her, and he never even liked her before. She hoped she could move in with Kate as she has everything they need there. Lucas said he'd help with Will over there. Kate is caught and has to agree.

When she asks if she'd be more comfortable with her own mother, Sami said she's busy with her dad. Sami asks another favor of Austin and that's not to tell anyone about the annulment and their marriage being over. Kate asks WHY??? Sami said she doesn't want her Dad to find out as he was so happy for her and Austin says ok. Kate wonders what Sami is up to now. When Kate approaches Austin about Sami's ulterior motive to move in with her..he tells her Sami is not the old Sami and if given a chance, she'll find out she's a kind and caring person. In the bedroom, Lucas asks Sami what's up and she tells him she figures trouble is up if he hasn't told Carrie and she's going to take advantage of it. When he asks about Will, she tells him how Austin being Will's father is an advantage for her and now that there's a chance to get Austin back, is better that she doesn't tell Lucas the truth.

Upon leaving, Sami tells Austin there's a week full of frozen dinners in the fridge and she ironed all his shirts. He tells her she didn't need to do that and she said she did it while she thought they were still married (why is she making him frozen dinners when she thinks they'll be together?). Austin says goodbye to Will and he'll see him soon and helps her out. Kate wonders what she's up to. Alone in the apt., Austin tells Kate the moment he's waited for so long for means nothing without Carrie. He refuses to call Carrie.

Sami tells Lucas she has to take advantage of this rift with Austin and Carrie.

Standing on Kate's staircase, she does her Scarlett O'Hara routine and said "As God is my witness, I will never lose Austin again" and goes upstairs. Lucas has this puzzled look on his face.

In LA, Carrie and Mike return to the room after a long day of talking to doctors. Carrie wants to continue but is tired and Mike tells her there is tomorrow and they just need to rest. Since the door is open Craig busts in and says there's a party downstairs and he expects the lovebirds to be there. He also tells them that some of the doctors they want to talk to will be there. They decide to play along and go to the club. They arrive and meet some of the doctors and Craig's wife Missy. Carrie notices that Craig keeps staring at them and Mike says it's because he's with the most beautiful girl in the club - matter of fact in the world. The band leader interrupts the party to say there is a couple there celebrating 40 yrs of marriage and there's champagne for all. Mike recognizes the name as possibly as someone his grandpa knew so he and Carrie go to talk to them. He did know Tom and they talk a bit. Carrie congratulates them and the lady comments that it's obvious she and Mike are in love. They offer their glasses for a toast and Mike leans over and kisses Carrie ever so sweetly that looked like he was not pretending.

He apologized when they walked off but Carrie understood. As she says it's nice to see someone still in love after so long they stare into each others eyes you can tell he wants to kiss her again.

Lucas is asking Scarlet Sami what she's up to now. They talk about what's happening and Lucas reminds her she that Will is the common link for her and Austin as she says to herself that nope not anymore because you are Will's Dad. She asks him is he still has some gizmo he got from Titan and he says yes. She asks him to buddy up with Austin and get him out of the apt so she can do her thing. He says no he can't do that but after some pushing from Sami he agrees. At the apt, Austin is moping around talking to Kate and saying maybe he is a chip off the old block and goes on to say that he lost Carrie, hurt Sami and is without his son all the time. Kate tells him he will never be like Curtis. He says if not he got his goodness from her and praises her and how good she is. There's a knock at the door and it's Lucas wanting to call a truce and asks Austin to join him for a drink. Austin doesn't buy it but Lucas talks about Will and how they both love him and since neither have Carrie they can be miserable together besides he wants a beer and hates to drink alone. Austin finally says OK and they all leave. Sami is waiting outside in the hall and goes in to leave the device. At the Cheatin Heart the guys make small talk and then Lucas tells Austin he doesn't blame him for leaving Sami and goes on to says that if Curtis was his father he would be worried about turning out like him too. He takes some jabs at the father thing when he says that Austin won't be able to always be there for Will since he's not living with him anymore. Austin says it's time to go but hate going back to an empty apt and reading to Will and tucking him in for bed. Lucas is just glad it's over as he hates stooping to this buddy thing. Kate returns to the apt because she can't find something and finds that door ajar. She knows she closed the door so she goes in to find Sami. They have words as Kate tells her to go and get whatever it was she planted in Austin's bedroom and get out. Sami reminds her she has no room to boss her around and that she has the upper hand here. Kate tells her she doesn't when Sami reminds her that she will fall off the pedestal that Austin has put her on when she reveals that she was nothing but a hooker, call girl or prostitute - however you want to put it. That all her children will hate her as the credits roll.
