"Oh look, Kristen looks like she could use a hug!" - Billie

Gina is distracted from getting Abby’s cup by Laura’s arrival home from Chicago. Peter and Jennifer finally set a date for the wedding. Jennifer sees Jack comforting Laura, and Laura accidentally calls him Clark. She apologises, and tells him his comfort reminds her of the Meadows, which Jennifer hears. She asks why she should be reminded of the Meadows. She covers quickly, saying it was just the feeling of being cared for and safe. Jennifer is very annoyed when Jack brings up the subject of Daniel Scott as he promised that he wouldn’t. Jack tells Laura that Daniel has disappeared and that he thinks Peter killed him. Later, Peter comments that Jack and Laura seem to be getting closer every day.

Austin calls Billie as she is about to tell Bo the truth. He wants her to come to the church and help him and Carrie with the flowers. When she gets there, she tells Austin about Bobby Lee and New Orleans and that Gina is really Hope. Austin suggests she needs more to go on than the word of a blackmailing con.

Alice is upset with Bo for asking Gina to stay away from Shawn-Douglas. Bo gets angry and decides to take Shawn-Douglas home, but Gina says it would be better for everyone if she left.

Stefano comes around and Celeste tells him that Marlena pushed him over the terrace. She tells him that he was obsessed with Marlena, and that she fought him but she lost. His love and passion corrupted her. He is dismayed to hear this portrayal of a monster. Kristen arrives (Stefano having asked for someone from the family to come and see him) and recommends that it would not be appreciated or taken well if he sent flowers to the Bradys. Later, Celeste is horrified to hear Mike tell Stefano that Peter is getting married in Aremid. She believes that Aremid is a terrible place of pain which contains ghosts from the past and dreadful memories. She doesn’t want Jennifer and Peter to there as something terrible will happen.

Everybody arrives at the church. Kristen tells Alice that she feels that John is in danger and that she has this sense of foreboding. Gina sits up the back of the church with Jack. Billie vows to tell Bo the truth after the service. The vigil begins.

The demon and John struggle in the morgue. John is coming off second best for the most part, and he begs the demon not to hurt Marlena and the demon tells John he wants his soul. John tells him he’ll never surrender his soul and that he’ll win Marlena back by fighting him to the death. When the demon decides to end Marlena’s life once and for all, John begs him to take him instead. The demon does so, and John’s eyes turn yellow.

"That’s it?" - John

Vivian and Ivan are worried when it looks like Mr Panetta, the owner of the vehicle Sami stole and crashed, will not be deterred from pressing charges. Later, disguised as a nun, Vivian visits Panetta at his office. In the meantime, Sami tries to effect an escape of her own. The guard on her door is falling asleep.

A storm brews outside the church during the prayer vigil. There is lightning but no clouds. A bush catches fire and Bo and Mike put it out. At the morgue, John screams to God for help. Gabe appears and helps him cast out the devil once and for all (this process is unbelieveably simple).

Mike reports that Marlena appears to be fine, but he’d still like her to check into the hospital. Marlena begins to remember what she got up to while she was possessed and wonders how she’s ever going to make up for it. Carrie considers that God answered her prayer to bring Marlena back and wonders if her will answer the other one - to bring Sami back? They break the news to Marlena that Sami ran away and later Carrie asks Marlena to be her Matron of Honour at the wedding. However, Marlena is not comfortable with the idea of returning to St Luke’s after all the awful things she did there and tells Carrie she can’t. Carrie begs her to reconsider, and she eventually agrees on one condition - if Sami comes back, then she wants her to be the Maid of Honour. Later, John brings Belle to Marlena, who is delighted to see her daughter.

Vivian tries to talk Panetta into dropping the charges against Sami but he won’t. She explains that Sami came to her convent where she was well and truly back on the path to righteousness before the crash. Panetta says he’s honouring his mother’s memory by pressing charges. Vivian sees a picture of his mother and gets an idea. She dresses Ivan up as Sami’s mother - he is the spitting image of Panetta’s mother. They go back to Panetta and tell him that Ms Brady has returned to look for Sami. They attempt to persuade him to give Sami another chance as it would break her mother’s heart if she want to jail.

Ashley disguises herself as a candystriper and hides Sami in a linen trolley. However, while making good their escape, the wheel on the trolley jams and their cover is blown. Sami is carted off to the station, where she refuses to tell the officers anything. They vow to find out who she is.

John panics when he wakes and finds Marlena missing. However, she’s just gone to get some groceries. She continues to recall bits and pieces of her mischief under the influence of the devil, in particular she can’t help but think she had something to do with Sami running away in the first place...

Lucas is horrified when Vivian reports that Sami is in jail. Furious with Vivian, he flies to Seattle himself to sort the mess out. In the meantime, Vivian posts Sami’s bail anonymously and books a luxurious hotel room for her. Sami is very suspicious that someone wants to help her, but Ashley tells her to calm down.

When Lucas calls and tells Vivian that he’s on his way, she decides to play it safe and check on Sami, who asks her why she’s helping her and why she’s doing it with such secrecy. Vivian tells her she was in town on business and heard about her trouble. She tells Sami she’ll buy her a plane ticket so she can be back in Salem for her sister’s wedding. In the hotel restaurant that night, Vivian reassures Lucas that everything is under control. Sami and Ashley arrive for dinner and they spot Vivian and Ivan (but not Lucas). They head over to their table...

Bo promises Billie a day filled with memories to last a lifetime, so she decides to wait until it’s over to tell him the truth. They fly out to a secret destination, which turns out to be New Orleans.

Marlena is dismayed to learn that many of her patients have terminated their therapy with her. Later, she reads an article about Stefano being thrown from the terrace. Meanwhile, Stefano is pleased to hear that Marlena is alive. Celeste is disappointed to discover that Stefano probably still feels very strongly about her, and tells Stefano that it would be a catastrophe if he were to ever meet Marlena. Marlena finds herself drawn to his room, though. Carrie, passing by, tells her that it would be best to stay away from him. She reluctantly agrees until later, she is drawn to his room again, feeling guilty about being the cause of his injuries, despite reassurances from both Carrie and Mike that it was not her fault.

Vivian panics when she sees Sami and Ashley at the restaurant and hides Lucas under the table. She gives Sami some money to buy a new dress and get her hair done to get rid of her. Sami is still suspicious. Lucas regrets having to hurt Carrie as part of his plan to stop the wedding and Vivian and Ivan realise he really does love Carrie. He heads back to Salem, telling Vivian that Sami better be right behind him.

Billie is determined to enjoy the day in New Orleans as she’s convinced it will probably be her last. She resolves to tell Bo the truth about Gina’s identity tonight. They have lunch and go back to their hotel room that afternoon and make love. They head back to Salem and Billie learns that Bobby Lee is in confinement for thirty days. She realises she can spend all that time with Bo.

Gina and Kristen arrive in New Orleans to find that visiting hours at the jail are over until three o’clock that afternoon. They go to get something to eat in the meantime. They dine without realising it at the same restaurant as Bo and Billie. Kristen reassures Gina that Bo and Billie would have had a good reason for not telling her about the letter. When they get back to the jail, they find that Bobby Lee is in solitary confinement for thirty days and no one can talk to him. They discover, though, that Billie was at the jail last week and deduce from this that Billie must have got the letter and kept it from Bo as well as Gina.
