Alex hints at his honeymoon plans to Marlena. Lexie spots the needle marks on Marlena's arm and tries to use it as proof that Alex has been drugging her. Marlena flashes back to being injected by Alex when she regained her memory in the hospital but still claims that Alex would never hurt her. Alex walks in on them debating and devises a plan to do away with Lexie's threat to tell the truth. Frankie runs into Chelsea at the police station and she tells him the truth because he'd be bound by attorney/client privilege. Bo calls Shawn down to the station to beg for Hope's whereabouts but Shawn refuses to tell him. Shawn presses until Bo is forced to admit that Hope asked for a divorce. Mimi convinces Shawn to email Hope for advice on whether or not to tell Bo her location. Frankie serves Bo the divorce papers from Hope but Chelsea's attempt to tell Bo the truth backfires when Bo assumes that she wants to talk for selfish reasons and sends her away. Bonnie overhears Belle admit that she still loves Shawn and that Sami convinces her to go tell Shawn how she feels. Bonnie calls Mimi with advance warning of Belle's arrival.
Lexie: Yes, this is Dr. Carver. Look, I know it's against procedure, but would you put a rush on my biopsy results? I'll have a hard time concentrating at work until I know for sure. Thank you. [SCENE_BREAK] Lexie: As for Abe and Theo, well, what will be will be. But at least I will have finally done the right thing. And everyone in Salem will know that you are still the same lying, conniving, evil person that you have always been. You're not worthy of love, Sami -- you never will be. Sami: Damn it, Lexie. All she cares about is clearing her conscience, never mind the consequences. I have to find a way to stop her. [SCENE_BREAK] Alex: This will be the most romantic honeymoon in the history of honeymoons. I guarantee that you will never quite be the same. Marlena: All righty, then. You can give me a little hint so I, I don't know, know what to pack. Alex: Oh, now, I've had my heart set on making this a surprise for you. You wouldn't want to deny me that pleasure, now, would you? Marlena: Well, no. I want whatever you want. Alex: Good. Then pack lightly because whatever you might need once we get there, we can pick it up. Marlena: Oh. So are we going far? I mean, are we on a different country, continent, hemisphere? Alex: I will tell you this much -- this will be a trip from which you'll never quite recover. [SCENE_BREAK] Chelsea: I am the reason that Bo and Hope think that the other one wants a divorce. After everything dad's done for me, I've just made him miserable. I have to make things right between him and Hope. I have to tell him what I did. Frankie: Chelsea, what's going on? [SCENE_BREAK] [Telephone rings] Shawn D.: Hello? Bo: Hey, Shawn, it's me. Sorry to interrupt your honeymoon. Shawn D.: Now I know why people go away on their honeymoon -- so they won't be bothered. What's up, Dad? Bo: Well, it's about your mom. Can you come down to the station? Shawn D.: Yeah, Mimi and I will be right there. Bo: I can't let Hope go through with this divorce. Shawn is the only one who can help me. [SCENE_BREAK] Shawn D.: Oh, you know, babe, I would, um, zip the top just a -- I mean, I like it. Mimi: Oh. It seems like we've spent most of our honeymoon getting undressed and then getting dressed again. Shawn D.: Mm-hmm. I'm sorry. That is all going to stop. Mimi: First Belle decides that she needs you to help her stop her dad from killing Alex North, and then Chelsea falls into a sewer. Shawn D.: Once-in-a-lifetime experience. Mimi: And now your dad needs you to help him, too. It's like, Shawn Brady's rescue and counseling service open for business 24 hours a day. Shawn D.: I know. I know, it's crazy. But it is all coming to an end. I promise you. It's just, I can't turn my dad down. I have to see if there's a chance that my parents could get back together. Mimi: I know, you're right. And I hope they do. And I'm glad you're doing this, Shawn, really. And I want things to get better between you and your dad. It's just, also, I want you all to myself for a while. Shawn D.: I promise you as soon as this is done, no more interruptions. I am gonna give you some honeymooning that you are never gonna forget. [SCENE_BREAK] Bo: It's got to be Lockhart. According to this, he's a killer. Good thing Hope isn't anywhere near him. [SCENE_BREAK] Patrick: You wanted to know about my past? Well, there it is. Are you satisfied? Hope: Patrick, I am so sorry. Patrick: No. No, you're not. Hope: I just wanted to know where you were going. Patrick: I asked you to leave this one thing alone, but you couldn't do that. So now you know. And when you find out what happened, you'll hate me as much as your husband does. Hope: I couldn't hate you, Patrick -- no matter what happened. Patrick: I'm the one responsible for Alma's death. I killed her. [SCENE_BREAK] Like sands through the hourglass, so are the Days of our Lives. [SCENE_BREAK] Hope: You loved Alma. Whatever happened, I'm sure it wasn't your fault. Patrick: I didn't physically put my hands on her, but I might as well have. I'm the reason she died. Hope: If you want to talk about it, I'm here to listen. Patrick: Talking about it hurts. My life before I came to this island was a waste. I was a con man ripping people off, just taking up space on the planet, not doing a damn bit of good for anyone. But when I ended up here, I didn't just find the most beautiful place on earth, I found love -- true connection of souls. That's what "Alma" means, you know -- soul. And she shared hers with me. I kept telling her that I wasn't worthy of her, but she believed in me. Hope: I'm sure she did. Patrick: We had the kind of love that most people only dream about. [SCENE_BREAK] Patrick: Hey, hey, hey. Guys don't wear flowers. Alma: This flower is the island's symbol of love. Patrick: I've already found my love, and I'm looking into her eyes right now. And I've never been so happy. Alma, my Alma. Alma: Yes, your Alma. Patrick: I've done some things before we met. Alma: Who hasn't done something to be ashamed of? Mistakes are part of our life. Patrick: Not the kind of mistakes I've made. They're the kind of mistakes that could get me into a lot of trouble and anyone who's close to me. Alma: When you love, you take the bad and the good. And you have so much in you that is good, Patrick, so much that I love. Patrick: Alma gave me all of her love and sweetness. She paid for it with her life. [SCENE_BREAK] Chelsea: Hey, Frankie. I'm just here to talk to my dad. Frankie: Me too. I'm your lawyer, Chelsea. Is there something you want to share with me? Chelsea: Would it be between us? Frankie: Attorney/client privilege -- total confidentiality. Chelsea: Okay, well, it's not exactly a legal problem, but it's more of.... Shawn, look, I'm glad you're here. Now I can thank you again. Shawn D.: Just save it. Come on. Frankie: "Thank you" is not gonna fix it. Chelsea: Yeah, you don't think I know that? Nothing's gonna fix this. Zack is gone, and he's never coming back. And that's my fault. Nobody's ever gonna forgive me, and you know what? I don't blame them. Bo: Shawn, I have tried everything I could to find your mom. It's like she's vanished. The future of our family is at stake. If you know where she is, you got to tell me. [SCENE_BREAK] Marlena: You're making this honeymoon sound almost dangerous. Alex: Well, if everything goes according to my plan, I'm hoping it will at least blow you away a little. Marlena: [Laughs] Alex: The real danger is here in Salem. That's why I've insisted on taking you someplace where John Black can't find us. I mean, it's obvious the local police cannot control the man. Marlena: Oh, Alex, I'm so sorry. Alex: Why? It's not your fault. When a man has such a beautiful wife, he has to expect other men to be jealous. Listen, I want you to stop worrying and start relaxing, okay? Marlena: I want whatever you want. Alex: As soon as we are out of Salem, I'm going to dedicate every moment of my life to try and make you happy. How does that sound? Marlena: It sounds dreamy. Alex: Why don't you run along upstairs and finish packing? 'Cause once we're out of here, I'll be a happier man. Yes, hello. This is Alex North. My wife, Dr. Marlena Evans North -- that one. Thank you. I'll certainly convey your congratulations to her. As I was about to say, my wife has decided to put her penthouse on the market. I believe it was featured in Dream Homes Magazine a season or two ago. Oh, I thought you'd be familiar with it. Oh, the terrace. Yes, it has a lovely terrace with an extraordinary view of the city. Now, we would like you to handle the sale. I couldn't agree more. It is an excellent time to sell. Yes, now, we would like the money wired to my offshore account. I'll tell you what, I will give you a week to put together some buyers, then I'll call you back and give you the account number for deposit. How does that sound? Yes, I thought so. Well, thank you. I'll be in touch soon. My, my, my, my. Time for a refill. I need Marlena to be compliant until we are out of Salem. And once we clear Salem Airspace, and the drugs have worn off, it is then that Marlena will realize, much to her horror, exactly what her fate will be. [SCENE_BREAK] Bonnie: Hmm, what's Sami Brady up to now? [Thinking] Just look at her sitting there thinking and thinking, not even drinking that expensive Chai Latte she shelled out four bucks for. She's plotting someone's destruction. Oh, yeah. I bet my life on it. [SCENE_BREAK] Belle: Hey, Sami. Can I sit with you? Sami: Oh, of course. Belle: You look awfully serious about something. What's up? Sami: I was thinking about mom on her honeymoon from hell with the good doctor. Why doesn't she see what a creep that guy is? Belle: I know. I keep thinking, wondering if there's anything else we can do, but, I mean, my dad's done everything he can. Sami: Yeah, John Black. Salem's very own superhero. Belle: He almost went to jail trying to protect her. Sami: So what's up with you, Belle? Are you upset about mom, or is there trouble in paradise, Mrs. Kiriakis? Belle: No. No, I mean, I don't know. Yes. Sami: So what's wrong between you and your Greek-God, war-hero husband? Belle: Don't make fun, Sami. He's wonderful. He's a great dad, good husband. Sami: I'm sure he is all of those things. So why don't you love him? Belle: I do. Sami: But? Do you want me to say it, or are you brave enough? Belle: But I'm still in love with Shawn, and it's killing me. [SCENE_BREAK] Marlena: Hi, come on in. Lexie: I'm sorry to disturb you. Marlena: You are not disturbing me at all. I just -- I'm not opening the door these days because of John. Lexie: Are you really that afraid of him, Marlena? Marlena: What, are you kidding? He's been stalking Alex and me, tried to kill Alex at our wedding, and has sworn to kill him because he doesn't want him anywhere near me. Lexie: Marlena, I've known John for many years, and no one can love you more than he does. Everything that he's doing is to try to protect you from Alex. Marlena: If you're going to criticize my husband, I need to have you leave. I love Alex. I don't need protection from him. Lexie: Marlena, what is he doing to make you believe that? You do need protection from him. I can prove it. [SCENE_BREAK] Sami: Belle, the fact that you still love Shawn is hardly news. Everyone who loves you has been painfully aware of it for months. Belle: [Scoffs] Sami: I just call it like I see it. Belle: Yeah. I should have known I couldn't talk to you about this. Sami: Well, don't talk to anyone about it unless you're willing to do something. Otherwise, it's just whining, and no one wants to hear that. Belle, you chose to marry Philip and have a kid with him. So you either have to make peace with the bed you're lying in or get out of that bed and go after the man you want. Belle: Shawn is married to my best friend. Sami: Oh, she is hardly your best friend, and she hasn't been since high school. She took your man, Belle. Belle: Well, that's not her fault. Sami: Don't make excuses for her. You do love Shawn, right? Belle: Yes, I do. Sami: Then you have to stop being Little Miss Belle Goody-Two-Shoes and fight for the man you love. Bonnie: [Thinking] The same advice I'd give my own sister. And if Belle takes it, I'll wring both their necks. [SCENE_BREAK] Hope: What happened to Alma? Patrick: I'd gotten myself into a lot of trouble money-wise. I owed these guys a ton of cash. Hope: Gambling debts? Patrick: No, it's worse. I don't want to get into it, but, um, I was playing with guys in the mob. I came to this island to hide out, try to get the money together to pay them back. That's when I met her -- Alma. Alma Delgado -- the most beautiful woman on the island. And she wanted me. She saw something good in me. Hope: Patrick, you are a good person. Patrick: I tried to convince her to stay away, but she said she didn't care about my past as long as we were together. [Crying] She wanted to have my babies. She changed my life. You know, I finally got it, what life's supposed to be like -- loving each other, caring for each other, not every guy out for himself. I decided to cut my ties to the organization. So I still owed these guys money. I left, tried to get in touch with some old contacts, people who owed me money, but it didn't work. So I figured the hell with it, I'll come back, I'll get Alma, and we'll just take off. You know, we'll start over someplace new, someplace where they'd never find me. [SCENE_BREAK] Patrick: Alma. Alma! My God. Oh, my God, baby. [Crying] [SCENE_BREAK] Patrick: The men I owed killed Alma instead of me. That way they knew -- they knew I'd suffer every day for the rest of my life. [SCENE_BREAK] Bo: Shawn, just tell me where your mom is. I need to talk to her. Shawn D.: If she wanted you to know, she would have told you herself. Now, don't put me in the middle of this. Bo: Have you heard from her? Shawn D.: No. Have you? Mimi: Maybe he doesn't want to talk about it, Shawn. Shawn D.: No, tough. Tell me, Dad, has mom been in touch with you? Bo: Listen to your wife. Leave it alone. Shawn D.: No. I have a right to know what's going on with my family or what is left of it. Bo: She asked me for a divorce. [SCENE_BREAK] Marlena: I know that you're a longtime friend and a colleague, so I'm sure I trust your opinion, just not about John or Alex. Lexie: Are you all right? Marlena: Uh, yeah, I think it's just the stress, that's all. Lexie: Why do you have all these needle marks on your arm? This is how Alex has gotten so much control over you, Marlena. He's been injecting you with drugs. Marlena: [Scoffs] Don't be ridiculous. Lexie: Unless you've suddenly become a heroin addict, it's pretty obvious what Alex has been doing to you, Marlena. First he used hypnosis on you, and when that stopped working -- Marlena: That is a perfectly acceptable form of therapy. Lexie: Marlena, he was brainwashing you. When are you gonna snap out of it and recognize the danger you are in with this man? Marlena: Alex loves me. He'd never hurt me. Lexie: Oh, is that the mantra that he's drummed into your head? Marlena, that is the only explanation that you've been using, and it makes no sense. Look at me. Where did these marks come from, Marlena? Is your brain still working, huh? Alex is the only person who could have been drugging you. Marlena: No, Alex loves me. He'd never hurt me. Alex: Of course I'd never hurt you. Dr. Carver, have you been filling my wife's head with your ridiculous suspicions again? I am extremely disappointed in you. [SCENE_BREAK] Belle: I can't. I can't break up Shawn and Mimi's marriage. I'm not a home wrecker. Sami: What, you mean like me? Belle: No, that's not what I mean. I mean I have a marriage, too, Sami. I have a daughter. Sami: Oh, come on, Belle. People get divorced. I mean, look at the women in this family always cheating on their husbands. Belle: Well, I wouldn't do that. I would never do that. Sami: I'm glad you feel that way. That's why you have to be honest with Philip now, while you have the chance. You let all these feelings build up inside of you every time you see Shawn, and you're gonna end up doing something that you regret. You say you love him, right? What did you think, it was gonna magically go away? Belle: No, but I thought that over time that these feelings would, yeah, go away. Sami: Love isn't like that. So I'm telling you, you and Shawn were meant to be together. You know it. He knows it. This whole town has known it since you two were kids. And seeing the four of you out celebrating Shawn and Mimi's honeymoon -- I mean, it was like a freaking tragedy. You and Shawn are with the wrong partners, and you are the only one who can fix it. [SCENE_BREAK] Patrick: If I hadn't been into those bastards for so much money, Alma wouldn't have died how she died, when she died. I know that. And I can't ever forgive myself. So you see? Bo was right all along. You never should have trusted me. [SCENE_BREAK] Chelsea: Shawn, there's something you should know. Shawn D.: Would someone get her out of here? Frankie: She's got something to say. Shawn D.: I never want to see her or talk to her again. You are responsible for killing my brother and my family. And now my mother is off somewhere alone suffering while her husband is here trying to keep his daughter out of jail for killing my brother. Mimi: Shawn, this isn't helping. Bo: Shawn, just tell me where your mom is. Let me talk to her, try to explain things to her. Shawn D.: You don't deserve her. It was a mistake coming here. Mimi: I'm sorry. He's just very upset. [SCENE_BREAK] Bo: Frankie, if you're here to discuss the case, this is a bad time. Frankie: That's not why I'm here. I'm really sorry. Hope's filed for divorce. [SCENE_BREAK] Alex: Are you all packed, dear? Marlena: No, not yet. Alex: Then why don't you run on upstairs and finish that while I have a word with Dr. Carver? Marlena: All right. Lexie, thanks for coming by. Lexie: Okay. [SCENE_BREAK] Alex: I thought you valued your marriage to Abe. Lexie: I do. And that's why I'm going to tell him the truth. Alex: Really? You mean, all about this sordid affair you've been having with Detective Kramer behind his back all this time? Lexie: Yes, Alex. I have decided to eliminate all the stress from my life, and that means coming clean with my husband about my infidelity. Alex: You might as well just stick a dagger right into your heart because once this comes out, you are not only going to lose your marriage, but your good name, as well. Lexie: Oh, well. Alex: [Laughs] You care that little? Lexie: No, Alex, I care that much about doing what's right, not letting some murdering liar blackmail me into silence. This morning, I discovered a lump in my breast. And, you know, it's just amazing what a possible death sentence can do to clear your mind and help you do the right thing. And the right thing is getting you the hell out of Marlena's life. [SCENE_BREAK] Sami: Come on, Belle, be honest. You never really loved Philip. Okay, maybe as a friend, and I'm sure he's pretty good in bed. Belle: Sami! Sami: Well, I'm just guessing, but he is sexy. And, you know, great sex and great love, when they go together, there's nothing better. And not everybody has the opportunity to have it all in one package. You and Shawn do. And it must kill Mimi when the three of you are together. Belle: I hate this conversation. Sami: Look, Belle, why did you marry Philip? Because Shawn dumped you for Jan. And Philip was there, and he wanted to pick up the pieces of your broken heart. But if he hadn't, and if you had been miserable for a while, you would have found out the truth about Shawn and Jan, and then you and Shawn would be married. And poor Shawn and Mimi. I mean, obviously Shawn has feelings for Mimi, but when the honeymoon is over and reality sets in, he's gonna find himself married to a woman that he doesn't really love. Are you gonna let that happen? Belle: What about Claire? Sami: Claire will be fine. Lucas and I have made mistake after mistake, but we have always made sure that Will knows that we love him more than anything, and that is the most important thing you can do for your child. You don't want Claire to grow up in a family when the two parents don't love each other, when they feel trapped. Belle: I already feel -- not -- not trapped. It's not fair to Philip. He's a great guy. Sami: He's a great guy? Belle, that's what's not fair to Philip. I mean, have you ever really felt like you couldn't live without Philip? There's your answer. Belle: Every morning that I wake up, I wish it was Shawn next to me. Sami: Oh, honey, you can't live your life like that. You just -- you can't. You love Shawn. Belle: So much. Sami: Go to him. Tell him, and don't let anything or anyone stand in your way. Now go do it before you lose your nerve. Belle: Thanks, Sami. Sami: Anytime, Belle. Bonnie: [Thinking] Belle's not gonna take my Mimi's husband away, not as long as I'm breathing. And, Sami, you just made yourself another enemy. [SCENE_BREAK] Shawn D.: Divorce? My parents? I guess I should be expecting that after all the dumb moves my dad made, but, still, it's hard to believe. Mimi: When my parents got divorced and my dad moved out, it was one of the hardest things I've ever had to deal with. And I know when you went down to see your dad, you were hoping that your parents had worked this out, and you didn't expect to hear what he told you. But don't you think your parents should at least talk about this? I mean, maybe you should tell your dad where your mom is or where you think she is. Shawn D.: Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. I guess I could e-mail my mom, see what she thinks. Mimi: I think that's a good idea. And tell her what's going on, and then it's her call to decide what to do. Shawn D.: Thanks. I'm just so mad at my dad right now. I could deal with never seeing him again. Mimi: That won't last. Shawn D.: Well, my mom is suffering, and I want her to do whatever it takes for her to be happy, even if that means leaving my dad. 'Cause after the lies he told, I wouldn't blame her if she never forgave him again. Mimi: But if two people love each other enough -- Shawn D.: No. No. Lies kill relationships. If you love your spouse, then you should never keep the truth from her. It's just unforgivable. [SCENE_BREAK] Lexie: I am giving you fair warning, Alex, which is more than you deserve. Get out of Salem now, today, without Marlena if you want to get out alive. Because once I tell John that you've been drugging her, he will literally tear you apart, and Abe will help him. Alex: I see. You're trying to strike a bargain with God. You think that if you do a good deed, then maybe he'll spare you from dying from cancer. I thought you were smarter than that. Lexie: My reasons for doing this are none of your business. But you will feel the consequences, believe me. [SCENE_BREAK] Marlena: Was that Lexie slamming the door? You two didn't have a fight? Alex: No. No. It's nothing worth discussing. Tell you what, if you do not finish packing, you're going to be traveling with a toothbrush and no clothes. Marlena: Mmm. Okay. Okay. Alex: I think Marlena needs another dose, pronto. I think I've just come up with a brilliant way of dealing with Lexie. It might be too cruel, even for me. But then again, who deserves cruelty more than an adulteress? [SCENE_BREAK] [Telephone rings] Mimi: Hello? Bonnie: Mayday, mayday. Belle is on her way over there to tell Shawn she loves him and that she's gonna leave Philip for him. Mimi: What? Bonnie: Oh, I heard it with my own two ears. She got advice from her trampy sister, Sami. Honey, you got to stop Belle before she wrecks your future with Shawn. Mimi: Short of killing her, I don't know what I could do. Bonnie: Well, you better put your thinking cap on or you're gonna lose your husband. [Doorbell rings] Bonnie: Oh, my God. Is that the doorbell? That's her. [SCENE_BREAK] Shawn D.: Hi, Belle. Belle: Shawn, there's something that I have to say to you, and I hope it's not too late. [SCENE_BREAK] Hope: Bo was so wrong about you. But, obviously, he was wrong about a lot of things. You know, when I fell in love with Bo, I thought that he was everything I wanted in a man. He was my hero... but not anymore. I guess now that I'm older and wiser and sadder, I appreciate different qualities in a man. You're a man who can be a good friend to a woman and not demand anything in return, and that's rare. You're a good person, Patrick. Nothing could ever change my mind about that. Patrick: You're wrong. I am not a good man, and I am sure not good for any woman, including you. So do yourself a favor and get as far away from me as you can. Go back to Bo. [SCENE_BREAK] Bo: So she did it. Hope filed for a divorce. Frankie: I'm really sorry, Bo. I know how much you love her. Mickey tried to talk her out of it. Everyone knows that you don't make major life-changing decisions when you're upset. It's always best to wait until things cool down. Bo: Yeah. F-f-f--, uh -- Frankie, what -- I, um -- I don't know what I'm supposed to do. Frankie: I'm sure that you will find a way to change her mind. Bo: Frankie, I would do anything, anything to make her change her mind, but everything I say and do these days, it's wrong. It just sends her running. [SCENE_BREAK] Chelsea: Dad, I need to talk to you. Bo: Well, okay. Now is not the time. Chelsea: It's really important. Bo: My wife just asked me for a divorce. Could you think of someone else besides yourself for once? I'm sorry, Chelsea, I -- this is -- this is not -- we'll talk, okay? Soon, I promise. Frankie: If there's anything I can do. Bo: Okay, Frankie, thanks. [SCENE_BREAK] Chelsea: He really is mad at me, isn't he? Frankie: Yeah. At least then he'll be able to tell Hope what happened. Chelsea: Yeah, and then she can be mad at me and not him. Frankie: You're not gonna get any sympathy out of me, Chelsea. Chelsea: I'm not looking for sympathy from anybody, Frankie. I just want to do what's right. Frankie: Good. When he calms down, you tell him what happened. Do it soon. Chelsea: I will. [SCENE_BREAK] Bo: I can't lose you, Fancy Face. I won't. [SCENE_BREAK] Alex: I have a very specific course of action in mind -- the perfect solution to both of our problems. Interested? [SCENE_BREAK] Belle: So, what? You're saying that divorce might be okay sometimes? [SCENE_BREAK] Hope: I'm not letting you go. [SCENE_BREAK] Bo: What's this about? Chelsea: It's about what I've done to you and Hope.
