While unconscious, Shawn dreams of making love with Belle, leaving Jan to think he is dreaming about her. Shawn comes to and is shocked to find himself in bed with Jan, still dressed as Mrs. B. Jan reveals herself to Shawn. Lucas tries to convince Sami that John and Kate are not to blame for Marlena's death. Sami tries to convince Belle that Shawn isn't coming back to her. Hope steps in to try and make peace between Sami and John. John agrees to let the coroner take Marlena's body once Hope agrees that there will be no autopsy. Sami, Belle, and John remember their favorite moments with Marlena. Sami and Belle bring the coroner a picture of how they want Marlena to look and Marlena's favorite suit. As John drowns his sorrows at the Brady Pub, Hope, Shawn Sr., and Bo offer a toast to Marlena. Marlena's ghost visits Celeste to warn that everyone who betrayed her must be punished but that everything that has happened has been a lie.
Jan: Oh, yes, Shawn, I want you, too, and I'm going to have you -- every last bit of you. [SCENE_BREAK] Sami: Well, thank you for getting rid of your mother. Lucas: I thought it'd be best if I told her to come back later. Sami: I just couldn't stand to see her gloating. Lucas: Come on, Sami. She wasn't gloating. Sami: Yes, she was. She is so proud of the fact that she and John orchestrated my mother's death. Lucas: Sami, they had nothing to do with it. Your mother was shot because she was trying to escape from prison. Sami: She had to escape because she was framed by John and Kate. Lucas: Stop it. You can't keep blaming them, all right? Sami, John loved your mother. Sami: That is bull. It is his fault that she was shot. He might as well have pulled the trigger himself. John: We need to pray for your mother's soul, izzy. [SCENE_BREAK] Belle: She's at peace now, right, dad? John: That's my prayer. [SCENE_BREAK] Celeste: [Gasping] Marlena? What is it? Why have you come back? Marlena: I've come to warn you, Celeste. Celeste: Warn me? Warn me of what? Marlena: The suffering isn't over. More people are going to die. Celeste: No, no, no. God, no. Marlena: Yes. You must prepare yourself. You must prepare everyone in Salem, because... everyone... is going to die. Celeste: No! Marlena: Everyone who betrayed me must be punished. Celeste: No. Marlena: [Laughing] [SCENE_BREAK] John: And may she always rest in peace. Belle: Amen. John: Amen. Belle: I can't believe it. I can't believe she's really gone. I'm never going to hear her voice again or see her smile. She was the best mom. The best. I'm very proud of you. Marlena: I'm very proud of you, too, and that is why I want to stay very strong for the challenge of quoting my favourite passage from the Book... by memory. Um, I'm not going to cry. I'm not going to cry. "I'll love you forever, like you for always, as long as I'm living, my baby, you'll be there." [Gasps] I did it. [SCENE_BREAK] Belle: You did it. What are we going to do, dad? What are we going to do? John: Izzy, we are going to remember what she meant to us. We are going to remember the way she was. We are going to remember her inner strength. We are going to remember her unselfish love and her inner joy, and we will continue to draw on that goodness and that strength, and we will always be there for each other the same way that your mother was always there for us. [SCENE_BREAK] Sami: God, he is such a liar and a hypocrite. He's just pretending. Lucas: Stop it, all right? Just stop it. Sami: He's a faker. Lucas: He is not faking. Do you have any idea what you're doing? Sami: What? What am I doing? Lucas: Look, I know your mom means a lot to you, and I know you're probably going to miss her more than anybody, but you haven't turned to anybody for comfort. Sami: How am I supposed to need comfort? How am I supposed to grieve when he is there pretending to be the -- the poor victim who lost his wife? Lucas: Just lashing out, lashing out at everybody and everything, aren't you? Sami: I have a very good reason. Lucas: I know. I know you do, and I am sorry you lost your mom, Sami. But don't push away everyone who's ever loved you. Unless, of course, if you want to be alone. Sami: Lucas, I just want justice. I want to see that the people who murdered my mother pay. Get out! Nobody wants you here. Hope: Sami, please. Don't make this any more difficult than it already is. Sami: Oh. Oh, right, my mother was murdered, and you want me to make it nice and easy for her killer?! John: Samantha's right. Just go. Hope: John... Mr. Milbauer from the funeral home is here to take Marlena's body. John: No. Marlena's not going anywhere. Has a unique skin type [SCENE_BREAK] Shawn-D: I was crazy to ever leave you. Can you ever forgive me? Belle: There's nothing to forgive, Shawn. I am the one who made the horrible mistake by lying to you about being my mom's alibi. Shawn-D: Well, that is all over now, okay? I'm back, we're together, and nothing's going to ever keep us apart again. Belle: Make love to me, Shawn. Shawn-D: Yeah. Yes. I want to make love to you. Jan: Wow. This happened quicker than I thought it would. Don't worry, Shawn. Your passion won't be denied. You'll get everything you want from me... and more. [SCENE_BREAK] John: No one's touching doc. Bo: John, listen to me. John: And there will be no autopsy. My wife was shot dead by a police sharpshooter's .223-caliber bullet, just the way you wanted when you gave the order to shoot to kill. Bo: She had a gun. I had no choice. [SCENE_BREAK] Sami: Oh, the hell you didn't! You wanted my mother dead, just like John and Kate did. Belle: That's not true. How could you say that about my dad? Sami: Because it is true! Hope: Just stop it. Everyone just stop it right now. Stop fighting. Look at where we are. This is where people come to find healing from their grief, not fight. We're all in pain. We're upset. But instead of lashing out at one another, we should be comforting each other. We all loved Marlena. We're all in pain. Sami: Some more than others. Hope: Sami! Be quiet. Just this once, try to control yourself, if for no other reason than to show respect for your mother. And in my desire to show respect even at her death, I'm going to have to agree with John. Bo, there is absolutely no reason for an autopsy. But arrangements do need to be made. Marlena's Body has to be taken care of, John. You're going to have to make some decisions about the funeral. I know you don't want to leave her like this. John: No. I don't. Hope: John, you've got to let her go. John: Never going to let her go, hope. Always going to be a part of me. Mr. Milbauer: I think it would be best if everyone waits outside. John: You just do what you have to do. I'm staying right here. Lucas: Come on, Sami. Let's go outside, okay? Sami: I'm not leaving. Belle: I'm staying, too. Sami: [Sobbing] John: I'm so sorry, izzy. John: Samantha. Sami: Don't touch me. You wanted this to happen. [Sobbing] Philip: John, don't worry about Belle. I'm going to take care of her. I will. John: Thank you. Bo: No matter what I said in the heat of the moment, I -- I didn't want this to happen. Hope: I know you didn't, but it did happen, and there's no going back and changing it. Sami: God, they are not going to get away with this. Bo and John wanted my mother dead. Belle: Sami, stop it. Hope was right. This is not the time or the place for hate. I need your help with something. It's for mom. Sami: Something for mom? Belle: Will you help me? Sami: Belle, you know I would do anything for her. Anything. Belle: Okay. Sami: [Sobbing] [ Thinking] And I know mom would want me to make those murdering bastards pay. [SCENE_BREAK] Celeste: What is it you want of me? Marlena: You, Celeste. Celeste: No. Marlena: You will be my messenger. Celeste: [Gasps] [SCENE_BREAK] Shawn-D: No. Don't. Jan: I know you don't really mean that. Shawn-D: We have to stop. Belle: But, Shawn, I want you. Shawn-D: And I want you, too. But we promised that we were going to wait until we got married, and I think that's a promise that we should keep. I just -- I don't want to do something that we're going to later regret. Shawn-D: Regret. Jan: Don't worry, Shawn. I'm not going to regret a thing. Shawn-D: Mm. Belle, I mean it. I mean it, Belle. Jan: "Belle"? You have got to be kidding! You ingrate. I'm giving you a tongue bath fit for a prince. Do you really think Belle the virgin can perform like this? How dare you confuse me with her? Jan: Well... I know how to stop that in a hurry. I'm sorry, Shawn, but you leave me no choice. Bo: Heya, pop. I could use one of those. John: No need to dirty another glass, Shawn. He can have mine. If it weren't for you, my wife would still be alive. Bo: Well, if it weren't for your wife, my brother and mother would still be alive. So would hope's aunt Maggie and father, Mrs. H., And four other innocent victims. Your wife murdered them all. [SCENE_BREAK] Man: Anything else? Mr. Milbauer: No, I'll take it from here. [Humming] What the... [SCENE_BREAK] Shawn-D: [Grunting] Jan: There now. That's better. Much better. Jan: Hmm. Shawn-D: [Groans] Jan: You've been napping way too long. I think it's time we got you up. [SCENE_BREAK] John: My wife was not responsible for those murders, and I want to hear you say it. Bo: Then why did she confess to all of them, huh? She was a psychopathic killer. John: I want to hear you say it. Bo: I'm not saying nothing for you. [SCENE_BREAK] Hope: Would you two stop for a second and think about what you're doing? My God, what, hasn't there been enough death already? Shawn: Amen to that. Hope: John, I know you blame Bo for Marlena's death, but I swear to you, I heard him call off the shoot-to-kill order. He was trying to give you a chance to save her. John: Why'd he sniper put a bullet in her heart? Hope: Because he couldn't hear over the noise of the helicopter. Marlena forgave Bo on her deathbed. You heard her, John. She said there was no one else to blame for what happened. John: Now, that's just classic doc, isn't it? Hope: Yes, it is. Bo was just doing his job, doing what he had to do. Bo: Look, man, I'm as upset as you. We'll never know what drove her to kill. And I am sorry for everything that happened. Shawn: We should be remembering the good times, not the bad. [SCENE_BREAK] John: I mourned Marlena's death once. She came back to me. It's not going to happen this time, is it? [SCENE_BREAK] Man: Excuse me, but there are some people out here. Mr. Milbauer: Who? Man: Young folks -- daughters of the deceased and two young men. Mr. Milbauer: I'm preparing to exsanguinations. Man: They refuse to leave. Mr. Milbauer: [Sighs] Okay. This isn't a run-of-the-mill passing, and there do seem to be rather unusual circumstances. Show them in. Belle: Is that our mom? Mr. Milbauer: Yes. Belle: Can we see her? Mr. Milbauer: I don't think that would be a very good idea. Belle: Please. Mr. Milbauer: Is that why you're here? Belle: Well, um, we... Sami: We -- we thought that... Mr. Milbauer: Yes? Sami: We wanted to make sure that our mom was as beautiful now as she was -- as she was before. So, um, we -- we found this photo, and she looked so... pretty in the picture with her hair and -- her makeup and everything, and we thought... maybe -- I mean, we were wondering if there was a way you could -- Mr. Milbauer: I'll make her look exactly this way. Sami: Thank you. Belle: Oh, um, this is -- this is my mom's favourite suit, and, um, there's her shoes and her jewellery and stuff in there, okay? Mr. Milbauer: Of course. Is there anything else? Sami: Yeah, um, we were wondering if we could have a moment alone with her, you know, just so we could -- just so we could say goodbye again. [Sobs] Philip: We'll be right outside, all right? Belle: I can't do it, Sami. I can't. Sami: It's okay. It's okay. I'll do it, then. [Sobbing] Mom. [SCENE_BREAK] Hope: Bo, sit down. John: Give me another. Shawn: Listen, maybe I think you ought to be taking it kind of easy -- John: No, I think you just ought to... mind your business as a barkeep and give me another. Shawn: [Sighs] Celeste: Hi, Shawn. John... Alexandra told me what happened. Darling, I'm so very sorry. John: Yeah. Celeste: Do you think Marlena's at peace? John: I don't know. You tell me. I mean, you got the hot line to the afterlife. Celeste: Don't mock, John. The spirits can become angry. John: If Marlena's spirit is angry, she's got every right to be. John: [Gulps] [Coughs] Celeste: Bo, hope. Hope: Celeste. Bo: Celeste. Celeste: Hi, darling. Listen, um... John is in a very delicate emotional state. Now, we need to do what we can to help him. Bo: Yeah, well, I'm the last person he's going to want help from. [Cellular phone rings] Bo: It's my team at the prison. They're doing some follow-up. Excuse me. Brady. Hope: Celeste... you seem nervous. Celeste: Oh, darling, I-I just needed to get out, get some air. Hope: Why? What's happened? Celeste: Oh, hope, I've had an unnerving premonition about Marlena. Hope: Marlena's dead. The killings are finally over. Celeste: I hope and pray that you are right, darling. I have to go. [Sighs] Oh. Hope is wrong. It's not over. But I have to do everything I can to see to it that it ends. And I have to do it tonight. [SCENE_BREAK] Belle: I don't understand any of this. I don't think we ever will. Sami: Well... Belle, you're going to have to come to terms with the fact that Bo and John and Kate planned this. They wanted mom dead. Belle: Sami, you can't really believe that. Sami: Yes, I do, and, little sister, when you come to terms with that, you are going to be better off. Belle: Sami. Sami: People are selfish. They are. They're -- they're cruel and selfish, and they only think of themselves. Belle: Maybe some people -- Sami: No, everybody. Look at your beloved Shawn. Is he here for you when you need him most? Belle: No. Sami: No. He's not, and why not? Because you told him one little white lie to protect your mother. Your mother. But no. I told you what would happen if he found out the truth. Belle, he's never coming back. Belle: He said he was coming back. Sami: I know, but he was lying, sweetie, because he is cold and heartless, just like his father. He wanted mom dead. I'm telling you, wherever Shawn Brady is right now, he doesn't give a damn what is happening to you. [SCENE_BREAK] Jan: Come on, Shawn. I need you to rise and shi.. come on, Shawn. I know you want it. And you can have it. All you have to do is give me a standing ovation. Shawn-D: Aah! [Gasping] Jan: It's okay. It's okay. Don't fight it. Shawn-D: What the hell is going on, Mrs. B.?! What am I doing here? What the hell are you doing on top of me?! [SCENE_BREAK] Lucas: Ladies, it's time to go. Sami: I don't want to go. Belle: Neither do I. Philip: This isn't doing either of you any good. You need some rest. It's going to be hard enough getting through the funeral as it is. Come on. Come on. Sami: [Sobbing] Belle: Oh, God. Sami: Celeste, what are you doing here? Lucas: Sami. Celeste: I came to pay my respects, darling. The man who let me in told me that you and Belle were here. Sami: Well, you better not be planning to put some sort of curse on her soul or something. Celeste: Of course not, darling, no. Your mother has suffered enough. Belle: Then what are you doing here, Celeste? Celeste: I came to see -- I came to make sure that Marlena's soul is at peace, darling. Sami: Celeste, do you think you could... you could help us talk to her again? You know, like you did with Abe at the séance? Celeste: No. I can't do that. Sami: Why? Celeste: You should go home, Samantha. And you too, Belle. I'm going to say a prayer, and then I'm going to leave also. Belle: Bye, mom. I love you. [Sobbing] Sami: Mom, I love you so much. [Sobbing] [SCENE_BREAK] Shawn-D: What -- what -- what the hell? Don't touch me! Don't! What -- what is going on? Where am I? What is this place? Jan: One question at a time. Shawn-D: Where am I? Jan: You don't know? Shawn-D: No. No, I don't. Jan: Maybe it's heaven. Shawn-D: No, no, I don't think this is heaven, okay? What is this place? Jan: This is the place where all your dreams are going to come true. Shawn-D: Who are you? Jan: Ha ha ha. Well, that's the question, isn't it? Hold on to your pocket rocket, Shawn, because you have a big surprise in store for you. Shawn-D: Oh, no. No. It can't be. Jan? Jan: Hello, love bunny. I'm back. [SCENE_BREAK] Bo: To Marlena. A dear friend, loving mother, a devoted and loyal wife. Hope: Wherever she is, I pray she's at rest and has found peace from whatever is tormenting her. Shawn: Hear, hear. [SCENE_BREAK] Sami: [Gasps] Mom. Marlena: Hmm? Sami: What's that? Marlena: Oh. Oh. Oh, this is a painting that you did for me when you were just five years old. Remember it? Sami: Yeah. Yeah, I remember. Why did you bring it? Marlena: Well... I brought it because it reminds me of a time when we were very close. And I've been hoping we can feel that same way again. I love you so much. Sami: [Sobbing] Celeste: Oh, God. [Wind whistling] Celeste: [Gasps] Marlena! What is it you want of me? Marlena: I want you to make them understand. I want you to make them realize everything that has happened, it's been a lie. [SCENE_BREAK] "Next on Days Of Our Lives" Philip: I want you to know I'd never leave you. Belle: If only I could say the same thing about Shawn. Jan: The things I'm going to do to you, lover. Rex: I just thought you should know -- your wife is not dead. Marlena: I'm the one with premonitions of gloom and doom. Celeste: Someone else is going to die? Marlena: Well, let's just say (sorry, got cut off)
