Tony calls her and she reluctantly agrees to meet her on the pier, where she tells Tony that one day she may forgive him, but shell never forget. She tells him shes been to see Father Francis about an annulment. He accuses her of having an affair with John, which she finds ridiculous as John is a priest. However, as John is leaving the priesthood, Tony finds this very convenient. He is very angry to see Kristen hugging John later on at the hospital.
Marlena tells Stefano she cant remember the events leading up to the accident, but tells him that he was her most hated enemy and that he hurt a lot of people. She admits shes responsible for his current suffering and he is overwhelmed by the courage and grace she displays by offering an apology for it. He declares that she is truly a remarkable woman and humbly accepts the apology. He is ashamed of the man he is told he used to be, but doesnt believe that he could have hated Marlena. Marlena cant believe that he could have changed so much. John arrives and is very annoyed that they are together. He warns Stefano to stay away from Marlena and takes her out of the room. Later, Celeste visits Stefano and grows jealous at the wonderful things he has to say about Marlena.
John warns Marlena to stay away from Stefano. He takes her to see Father Francis to help her sort out her feelings of guilt. Francis tells her to walk in Gods path and everything will pass away. He advises her to be honest, pure and just in everything she does. He tells her to give aid and comfort to the tormented and helpless and to forgive those who have trespassed against her. She returns to Stefanos room and, remebering Francis advice, offers to help Stefano with his physical therapy, which hes having trouble with under the current arrangement.
N.B. - This is the last episode in which Robert Kelker-Kelly appears in the role of Bo Brady. It is commonly held among fans of the program and also in soap opera magazine circles that the circumstances under which he left were very sudden and not pleasant, and involved him being escorted from the premises and being told not to bother returning. It is also believed that Kristian Alfonso was not happy working with Kelker-Kelly and was keen to work again with Peter Reckell, the actor who originally played Bo from 1983 to 1987 and again between 1990 and 1992. Obviously, none of this was confirmed or denied by Corday Productions, but Reckell did indeed resume the role little more than a week later...

Vivian tells Ivan that she suspects Sami is faking her illness, while Lucas is angry because Vivian should have made sure that Sami was in good health. When Sami "comes to" she exclaims "My baby!" in panic. She seems to realise where she is and insists that the ceremony continue, but Marlena wants to make sure shes alright first. Austin begins to worry, and goes to tell Carrie the truth, but Sami has her occupied as she reveals to her and Marlena that she is about five months pregnant, and hasnt known for very long. Marlena and Carrie are determined to make the father, whoever he is, live up to his responsibilities and calculate that Sami was still in Salem when she fell pregnant. Pressed for information, Sami hints that the father of her baby is Austin.
Lexie and Abe rush home when they hear there was a fire at their house and find that the box of family papers was the only thing destroyed. Lexie can distinctly remember turning the iron off, and thinks its a bit too convenient that only the papers were burnt. She concludes that whoever alerted the fire department must have set the fire and she thinks it was Celeste.

They head to the wedding with Jennifer, Peter and Abby (theyre a bit late, arent they?) and are told about Sami. Speaking to Billie about her agreement to help Gina, Jack realises Abbys box is the puzzlebox Gina is looking for. Billie gives the box to Gina.
