Summary by Gwa1067718
Eric encounters Taylor at Salem Place. He admits that he doesn't like Lucas because Lucas uses money to get his way. Kate tells Alec, the investigator, that she wants ammunition against Nicole to stop her from making trouble.

Rolf tells Stephano that there is no more to do for the Hope\Gina transformation until the lunar eclipse. Stephano tells Rolf that he hasn't married Vivian yet because she wanted to return for her trousseau and needed to rest. Rolf warns Stephano that he hasn't been careful using the devise and has probably driven Vivian insane.

Vivian dreams that John, Marlena, Ivan, and Celeste are going to turn her into a vegetable and are laughing at her.

Back at Marlena's office, John couldn't remember anything and fears that he never will. Greta promises that she will help him in any way that she can.

Mrs. Faversham calls Hope Gina and Bo corrects her. Hope says that it must be very difficult to believe that the real Princess Gina is dead. Hope wonders if her talents were implanted by Stephano or if she acquired them when she immersed herself in Gina's life. Mrs. Faversham says that maybe Hope is really Gina afterall.

Stephano tells Rolf that once he marries Vivian he will never have to use the devise again. He also says that he really does care for Vivian and Gina. He needs to have control over her like he had once before and that he had over Celeste last night. She needs to complete the work that she started. Vivian's nightmare continues. She calls out for Stephano to help her, but he is tied up in a straitjacket. She wakes up screaming and Stephano runs to her while Rolf says that he has driven her insane.

At Titan, Alec asks Kate why she is worried about Nicole. Kate tells him it is because Nicole is interested in Lucas and will do anything to further her career, including using Lucas.

At Salem Place, Taylor tries to convince Eric to give Lucas a second chance, but Eric refuses to listen and tells Taylor she is the one who cant see him for who he is. Lucas tells Nicole that if she stuck with him, he would make all her dreams come true. She asks him if there are any dreams she can help him make come true. Lucas tells her that they should get together one night and dream together. Eric breaks into the conversation and asks what they are talking about. Nicole tells him that she was just thanking Lucas for the flowers.

Stephano tells Vivian that she will never have to go back to the sanitarium after she marries him since their marriage will override the power of attorney. Vivian tells him that she wants Ivan and Celeste at the ceremony. Stephano says he'll see what he can do. He had the nurse give them some of the potion so now they are under his control.

Marlena asks Greta if her mother didn't tell her anything about her travels or what she did, but doesn't believe Greta's answer. When she leaves the room, Marlena admits to John that she still doesn't trust Greta. John says that Greta is the key to finding his past.

Bo tells Mrs. Faversham that Hope was born and raised in Salem so she can't be the real Gina. He asked her if she remembered what the real Gina told her she did, but Mrs. Faversham couldn't remember anything.

Eric tells Nicole that she shouldn't fall all over Lucas just because he brings her flowers. Nicole tells him that it was just a nice gesture. Eric tells her that it was because Lucas has the hots for her, which Nicole denied. They talk about how Sami's case is progressing, and Eric remarks how odd it is that Candy just happened to be the stripper who was hired for the bachelor party. Nicole says that it was just a coincidence, but Eric doesn't buy it. He thinks that someone knew about the affair and hired her on purpose. They leave to go to the photo shoot and Nicole tells Eric she will have to meet him there since she has an errand to run.

Bo and Mrs. Faversham talk about the life that Gina led and Bo finds it hard to believe that Hope led that kind of life. Hope has a memory flash of running into a man's arms.

Dr. Klein calls John and tells him that Vivian is missing. John calls Vivian's cell phone, but gets no answer. He then calls Ivan's cell and talks to a hypnotized Ivan who tells John that Vivian is with him and is going to marry Stephano before hanging up.

Kate tells Lucas to be careful about Nicole, she only wants something out of him. Lucas tells her that he has a chance because Nicole paid more attention to him than Eric. He tells Kate not to worry, he has his eyes wide open.

Nicole walks into Kate's office and Kate asks why she isn't at the photo lab yet. Is there a problem? Nicole tells Kate that she doesn't have a problem, Kate does.

A minister arrives to marry Stephano and Vivian. Vivian says that she is ready and shows Stephano that she has something new, blue, borrowed, and old. Then she gets weak and says that maybe they should wait. Stephano puts her in the "up" mode, and she suddenly feels better and ready to proceed.

Bo tells Mrs. Faversham that even though he is a beer and pretzels kind of guy and Gina is a Princess, he won't give up on Hope. Nothing is ever going to come between again. Mrs. Faversham isn't so sure. Hope has another memory flash, this time she embraces the man and then tells him that she wasn't so sure that she was going to make it this time. Hope wonders who the man is and how it will affect the second chance that she and Bo finally have.

From Tracy
The Titan Gang
We open the show with Eric and Lucas arguing about everything in general having to do with Nicole and the new Faces campaign. Eric is trying everything possible to irritate Lucas so he will leave the Photo Shoot prior to Nicole �s arrival but Lucas more or less tells him to like the way he runs things or leave. They get into a heated, almost physical, debate and poor Taylor has to come to the rescue on both their behalf. Lucas finally leaves to check last minute details and Taylor tries to explain again to Eric that Lucas deserves another chance. Eric explains that it is not that easy to forgive and forget just as he has not yet been able to with Nicole. Taylor is just about to give Eric the true Nicole scoop from her past when she is interrupted by Lucas� return. Eric, then not wanting to be in the same room as Lucas excuses himself to check the prop situation out. When he returns he has a beautiful bouquet of flowers that were ordered for the Shoot that had to be rush delivered and gets onto Lucas about having to pay extra for the special service and to start being more organized if he feels the need to call Photo Shoots on such short notice. Nicole arrives and compliments Eric for his taste on the props and he gives Taylor a lot of credit to which, of course, Nicole gives one of her "if looks could kill" smiles.

Nicole has visited Kate in her office before arriving at the Photo Shoot and Kate is well prepared for this. Nicole never comes out and threatens to expose Kate, but then again, who would dare (other than SAMI). Kate sets her straight before Nicole even gets started and more or less tells her to get tips on Climbing the Social/Executive ladder from someone else, like Sami, as she does not have time to be bothered with Nicole. Kate, looking very confident, excuses Nicole as she does not want to delay the Photo Shoot. Lucas gets handed a subpoena and goes looking for Kate just after she herself has been served as well. He is in a panic and looks to her for support as she explains that they will have to tell the truth, their truth, that is.

The Hospital scene
Carrie knocks on Mike's door, who after thinking it was Ali, is relieved to find Carrie looking saucy in a fur trimmed Cardigan (Hey, I've got it on my Christmas list!). Anyway, she is a bit nervous about having to testify this morning at Sami�s trial. Mike gives his advise and support with a long, close hug that looks as if they are a million miles away. He goes to the door only to find Austin ready to knock. He has stopped by before going to the courtroom only to find that Carrie will be joining him as she has been subpoenaed to testify for the prosecution. On his way out Austin congratulates Mike on his reunion with Ali and rather than question it goes along with it although Mike knows that he and Ali have not reconciled. Carrie leaves, confused by this statement, and Mike immediately calls Linda to help locate Ali. When Linda reports that she is no where to be found Mike decides to look for her just as the infamous board members turn the corner and inform him that the Board Meeting has been moved up 30 minutes so he grabs his report and heads to the meeting. Ali then appears with a bag and heads into Mike's office after checking, first, to see that she was not spotted. She is leaving Mike's office when Craig comes up only to get chewed out about implying that Carrie and Mike were an item. Ali accuses him of trying to cause a commotion (about time someone figured that out) and defends Mike and promises they are as good as an item once again. This scene ends with Mike opening his office door with a mighty look of surprise all right, but afraid we will have to wait till tomorrow for the shock.

Sami�s Fate continues�.
Sami is in the courtroom doing all possible to belittle Carrie in Roman's eyes. She lays subtle hints that Carrie is definitely not the perfect daughter Roman remembers her as. Roman wants nothing to do with this conversation. Carrie walks up just as Sami has found out that she is being called as a witness for the Prosecution. Of course Sami then implies that Carrie will do everything possible to wreck Sami�s defense. On Stand, Carrie only confirms what Austin and Commander Carver have already stated, that Sami was found unconscious next to the body of Franco holding the gun in her hand. She was then drilled by the DA about her rocky relationship with her sister. The DA goes into every juicy detail and this of course is to Nancy's delight as now she has decided this is every bit as interesting as the Mike/ Ali saga.

The Wacky Ceremony
Stephano and Vivian are making out and Viv requests music for this special moment and asks Celeste if she will do the honors. Of course she obliges as she is still under the suggestive trance. Stef, ready to get this done with, tries to hurry things along when the phone rings. His nurse from Greenhaven has called to inform him that John Black is looking for his Aunt Vivvy. He whisks the wedding party away in a limo to his private jet and offers champagne to all. Vivian is admiring Wilma's eye make up and is thinking about a make over (personally, I think Vivian looks great the way she is). Stephano is not too thrilled with the look but does not offer his opinion (unusual for him). Just as Stef thinks he has pulled this off his cell phone rings and�.. guess who, John Black calling. Stephano acts as though they have a bad connection and finally hangs up on him. Detective John figures out they are headed to his private jet and makes some calls (calling on his cell phone while driving, no no!) to the right people to have all private jets grounded. Stef arrives only to be told this bit of info and is about to give up when Vivvy spots a Hot Air Balloon and decides to check it out. She finds a young couple about to take off and learns the gentleman is planning on proposing to his girlfriend while up in the Balloon. When Vivian offers him a $1000.00 he has a change of plans and next we see Stef, Vivian, and Wilma preparing to take off. John arrives at the airport to find Celeste and Ivan in their trance state but thank goodness he slaps some sense into them just in time for the two of them to see the wedding party taking off for the sky. They run and decide the only way to stop this ceremony from taking place is to stop the Balloon so they grab on for dear life with Stef soon discovering them. John is looking on just as Stef thinks he has one up on John�.. as the credits roll.
