In Salem, Lexie told a shocked Hope that Baby John has a hole in his heart and needs surgery. Brady freed Belle's foot from the train track just as a train raced by, but she fell and hit her head.

11/6/00-11/10/00: John went into mercenary mode and beat up everyone in sight when Roman tried to arrest Brady for threatening Marlena with the sword.

Kate began knocking on the door as Nicole was trying to seduce Victor again. Sami lied to Moroni, saying that she has no romantic interest in Brandon, she just wants her son back. Abe was surprised when John forgave him for shooting Brady. Blaming Marlena for Brady's condition, John told her to stay away from the boy. Stefano panicked when Lexie mentioned Marlo, who was J.T.'s (Baby Johnny) real mother. After Bo told Hope about Gina's wedding, Hope told Bo she knows he is not J.T.'s father.

Rolf brought Hattie to see Stefano, who actually thought he was talking to Marlena when they met. Brady was able to stand using crutches, but was angry to see Marlena had been watching his struggle.

On Stefano's orders, Rolf and Bart set bombs in various places in Salem to cover for the bomb set to destroy the lab - and Isaac's DNA sample - so that Glen will never know he is J.T.'s father - and thus Lexie will not lose Isaac. One of Rolf's bombs went off outside the Tuscany restaurant while half the town was inside eating. Another bomb blew out a bridge just as Jennifer approached it on her way home. Nancy was rushed to the hospital after arguing with Chloe, and then had an apparent heart attack. John urged Bo to forget about finding out who fathered J.T. Marlena was upset that Hope wants to tell Bo that John is J.T.'s father (really Isaac's dad). At the diner, Sami humiliated Kate, who later had severe abdominal cramps.

Hope, Bo (and John, who thinks he fathered J.T.) were devastated over the fact that J.T. might be dead. Barb and Glen, who survived the bombing at the DNA lab and were by the river, saw the baby's car seat and Glen pulled it to shore. Glen thought J.T. was Isaac because he was in Isaac's car seat. Chloe, who was by the river with Philip, saw someone (Glen) pull something (J.T.) from the water. Maggie suspected Stefano was behind the bombings even though he saved her from a car bomb. Stefano worried when an injured Lexie kept saying the babies had been switched. Nancy was humiliated to learn her "heart attack" was indigestion.
 
5/28/01-6/1/01: Lexie covered with Nancy after Stefano revealed Nancy had overheard a delirious Lexie say the babies had been switched. Stefano and Lexie then learned JT was missing. While the police told Hope and Bo someone may have taken JT if he survived the fall from the bridge, Glen and Barb had the baby in their car. John kept mum that he is JT's father (he thinks) when Bo suggested Stefano caused the bombings in Salem to cover so he could kidnap JT. When Hope visited Lexie in the hospital, she was unable to tell Hope that Isaac is Hope's child, not JT. Chloe went to the cops when she realized she had seen Glen rescue JT from the river, but Glen and Barb escaped from the police with the baby.

Because she (lied) that she loves him, Rolf decided not to kill Hattie, who admitted seeing a body (Marlo's) at the DiMera mansion. Later, Rolf decided Hattie must die because she told Roman and Bo about the body. Roman suspects Stefano was trying to turn Hattie into Marlena.

6/11/01-6/15/01: Stefano convinced Lexie that to keep Isaac, she would have to leave town with him. John burst into the DiMera mansion and demanded to know where "his" son, JT, was, but then told Lexie the boy is not his son. Stefano grabbed a gun and threatened to shoot Lexie when Bo, Roman, and the cops burst into the mansion to arrest him after Hattie's story about seeing a body (Marlo's) in the mansion.

Lexie promised John that she wouldn't tell anyone he fathered Hope's baby. (He thinks he did).

After a call from Stefano, Lexie convinced Abe to move into the DiMera mansion so that she won't lose Isaac.

Brady also denied Nicole's suggestion that he and Chloe are involved. Also during the dance, Philip was humiliated when Kate showed up in a tattered second-hand dress. With her dress falling apart, Kate (who is sure Philip will get Victor to give her some money) agreed to Philip's plea that she leave.

Larry told Hope he wants revenge because she ruined his life and his chance to be President. Larry told himself that Hope would not have Zack much longer. Larry refused when Billie wanted out of their arrangement in which she helped him kidnap Hope and Zack. Brady heard Billie tell someone (on the phone) she will stay away from Bo for now. While Larry told Hope is he framing someone for her abduction, Lexie realized she is being framed for the deed. Nancy told Craig there is no one beside Dr. Sykes they should be looking for as a possible marrow donor for Chloe.

After tricking Cassie and Rex into meeting him, Rolf reprogrammed them after putting their wristbands back on them. Rolf panicked when the twins said Marlena is helping them remember their past.

Billie, who thought she was on an ISA assignment to see if Bo was ready for an ISA case to bring down the DiMeras, was stunned when Shane said the ISA didn't send her on an assignment. Billie was shot in the head while talking to Shane. Later, Larry told Hope he shot the woman (Billie) who was working for him. Marlena stowed away on the plane when John flew to DiMera Island, insisting her spells won't stop until she regains her memory of the time she was on the island.

Roman helped Bo escape jail after Bo "felt" Hope's call for help. Craig chased Sykes after seeing him in Salem. Craig doctored Sykes when his leg was caught in an animal trap.

Bo also told Hope that Billie is not brain dead, and that she helped Bo track down Larry. Jack was upset Jennifer knew Larry had kidnapped Hope, but didn't tell him. John refuses to believe he and Tony are brothers, despite Daphne DiMera's letter, which revealed they are siblings. After John hypnotized Marlena, she remembered being locked in the tower room of the DiMera compound, and that someone had drugged her. John accused Tony of wanting Marlena.

12/2/02-12/6/02: Chloe and Brady made love for the first time, then returned to Salem after learning Nancy had been hospitalized with high blood pressure. Nancy, who could contract toxemia, refused to let the doctors take her baby, even if it means she could die.

Marlena assured Craig that he would know when the time is right to reveal that he is Chloe's father. Hope worried she was losing it when she thought she saw Larry. Bo and Shawn reassured Hope, who broke down over her kidnapping. Unaware Colin is out to kill him, Bo warned Colin not to interfere with Nicole and Victor's wedding.

Jack is frustrated he couldn't protect Jennifer from Colin. Sami left Jack believe that at her request, Tony had someone else take photos of Nicole and Colin at the same time Jack had seen them kissing. Pretending to be a ghost, Larry caused Hope to suspect that she may have killed Colin. Hope suspected Shawn was hiding something when he denied seeing her after her disappearance the night Colin was killed.

Bo and Hope worried Tony was lurking around Tuscany Restaurant (where Roman and Kate were married) waiting to kill Roman. Sami told Roman he is dead to her now that he's married to Kate. As in Celeste's premonition, the wedding cake oozed blood once Kate and Roman cut into it at the reception. After telling Nicole he would soon have evidence to arrest her for Colin's murder, Roman went to the Tuscany kitchen to meet his informant and came face to face with the serial killer.

Nicole fumed when she heard Victor tell Tony that she had killed Colin, and that Victor thinks Nicole is also the Salem Stalker. Brady heard Victor threaten Nicole's life. Celeste warned Tony he could end up dead after he put an ad in the newspaper announcing that the identity of the Salem Stalker would be revealed at the Horton Foundation Circus. Bo left for Europe after Billle Reed left a voice message for him stating that she knows the identity of the Stalker, but would only tell Bo. The Stalker watched as Hope said goodbye to Bo. An unwitting Bonnie almost ran into the Stalker. The Stalker drugged the tiger with a dart, causing the tiger to go into a rage. Then the Stalker opened the tiger's cage door just as Tony was about to reveal the Stalker's identity.
 
1/26/04-1/30/04: The tranquilizer gun jammed when John tried to shoot the tiger who attacked Tony then dragged his body away. Lexie and Celeste found Tony, who was hospitalized.

Before he died, Tony grabbed Marlena's hand when she sat next to his bed, but no one realized he was trying to reveal she is the Salem Stalker. Marlena covered when John wondered why Tony had grabbed her. After Celeste had visions of the masked killer with long blonde hair, Tony's ghost told her that she knows who the Salem Stalker is.

Lexie later left Celeste alone with Marlena after telling John and Marlena that she is close to naming the Stalker (it's Marlena). Marlena, who relived the murders, told Roman's photo that marrying Kate was his "fatal" mistake. Marlena realized her decision to tell John she is the Stalker was a mistake. Marlena assured an unwitting Belle that she (Marlena) would not be a victim of the Stalker. Because Victor keeps accusing Nicole of being the Stalker, she handcuffed herself to Brady to have an alibi the next time the Stalker strikes. Bonnie was hurt when she overheard Mickey tell Julie he would no longer need Bonnie once he stops mourning Maggie.

2/9/04-2/13/04: A knife-wielding Marlena panicked when Celeste, who was hypnotized, saw the Salem Stalker (Marlena), but only remembered the killer's blue jacket. John burst into the room, unwittingly saving Celeste from being Marlena's next victim. Marlena realized a piece of fabric was missing from her blue jacket after John said Belle and Shawn found a piece of blue fabric caught on a nail at the circus. It looked like Marlena was about to stab Belle after she walked in on Marlena cutting up her blue jacket. Julie remembered Marlena wore a blue suit to the circus. Nicole kept herself handcuffed to Brady to prove she isn't the Salem Stalker. On Nicole's orders, Jan prepared to kill Victor. Victor made a new will, leaving nothing to Nicole. Jan saw Victor put the will in his safe. Jan also tried to kill Belle by dropping a sandbag on her, but failed. Julie wants Bonnie out of Mickey's life.
 
2/16/04-2/20/04: Nicole was horrified when Jan go trapped in the mansion after Jan electrocuted Victor in his bathtub. Nicole panicked when Victor tried to say her name after Brady briefly revived him. Nicole was relieved when Victor took his last breath. Nicole had an alibi for the time of Victor's death because the locksmith had been removing the handcuffs from her and Brady (while Jan, meanwhile, killed Victor). A returned Bo arrested Nicole after John told Bo and Hope that Victor had said previously that Nicole would be responsible if he died. Marlena collapsed when she was unable to kill Belle, who thought Marlena was just stressed out over the murders. Marlena fainted when John said Shawn thinks she is the Salem Stalker. Marlena faked understanding when Shawn said there were too many clues to ignore. Bo told Hope he never found Billie. While thinking about Jack, Jennifer his a man, Patrick, with her car. Patrick faked the extent of his in jury.
 
2/23/04-2/27/04: Shawn had to admit that Marlena, whom he (correctly) believes is the Salem Stalker serial killer, did not kill Victor because she was with Shawn and Belle at the time Victor died. Deciding that Shawn had to die, Marlena sneaked into his darkened bedroom and stabbed "him" repeatedly. After the stabbing, a bloodied Jan, the person who was in Shawn's bed, went to Nicole for help. Nicole got Jan drunk, then sewed up her stab wounds. Marlena was stunned to learn Shawn was alive. Doug told Julie he knows the identity of the serial killer, but refused to give Julie her name. Doug also spoke with Celeste, but didn't tell her the name of the serial killer. An unwitting Julie told Marlena that Doug knows who the serial killer is. As Nicole's alibi, Brady cleared her of being Victor's killer. Nicole, who is determined to get Victor's will before it's read, learned Jan knew the new combination to his safe.

3/1/04-3/5/04: After being stabbed by Marlena (the serial killer), Doug got away from her and wrote her name in his own blood, leaving the piece of paper next to Tom Horton's gravestone. Hope rushed to Doug after Celeste had a vision of him beside Tom's grave. Doug died in Hope's arms before he could identify Marlena as the serial killer. When John got a glimpse of the serial killer fleeing from the cemetery after Doug died, he said to himself "Doc," which is his nickname for Marlena. Belle came up with a plan to prove Shawn is wrong about Marlena being the serial killer. Hope quizzed Jennifer's boarder, Patrick, who told them he is Bonnie's son and Mimi's brother. Bonnie admitted to Mimi that Patrick is unaware she "lost" a lot of his money gambling. After the locksmith broke into Victor's safe, Bo (correctly) suspected Nicole got into the safe and stole Victor's will (and the proof that she killed Colin).
 
3/8/04-3/12/04: Doug's spirit told Celeste that the serial killer's next victim will be someone they all love. Looking into her crystals, Celeste saw the word "Hortons" in blood and an image of Tom's tombstone. Celeste later found Alice at Tom's grave. Alice came close to finding the note Doug wrote in blood (correctly) naming Marlena as the Salem Stalker. Shawn worried after Julie said she had told Marlena that Doug knew the serial killer's identity. Marlena acted hurt when John admitted he thought she might be the serial killer. Marlena then told Sami to get a grip when she tired to convince Marlena to kill John before he kills her (as predicted in another one of Celeste's visions). Nicole distracted Brady while Jan got Victor's will and the evidence against Nicole (that she killed Colin) out of the mansion. Jan kept the papers instead of burning them. Patrick learned Bonnie squandered all of his money.
 
3/15/04-3/19/04: Celeste warned that the Salem Stalker (Marlena) would murder another member of Alice's . family. In a confessional, Marlena (the Salem Stalker) told Father Jansen she might kill again. Father Jansen later asked for Marlena's help after telling her the killer confessed to him. Tek and Hope hypnotized John, who had convulsions after remembering he saw Marlena flee the scene of Doug's murder. Performing her job as a psychiatrist, Marlena tried to convince John that the reason why he thinks she is the killer is because of his past conditioning by Stefano. Marlena was prepared to kill Belle if Belle told Shawn that she lied when she said Marlena was with her when Doug was killed. Belle told Shawn about her lie, then saw he was asleep and didn't hear her. Tek began to (correctly) suspect Marlena is the killer. Jan told Nicole she would hand over Victor's papers after she gets Shawn back. Sami continued to worry that John will kill Marlena.
 
3/22/04-3/26/04: On the phone, Patrick told a mystery person he was moving on (leaving Salem), but would be in touch. Patrick called Lexie to have her tend to a pregnant Jennifer, who had abdominal pains while trying to convince Patrick not to leave town. Abby gave Patrick a doubloon she found, and he told her it was his, and it had belonged to pirates. After talking to Julie, Marlena (Salem Stalker) recalled seeing Doug bury something behind Tom's gravestone. After hacking into John's laptop computer, Marlena erased the surveillance photo of her in the cemetery (the night she killed Doug). Marlena went to kill Alice after learning she found Doug's note with Marlena's name on it. Marlena was about to kill Alice when she was scared away by the ghosts of Caroline, Roman, and Maggie. Alice called John and told him Marlena is the serial killer. Jan told Nicole she is going to kill Belle.
 
3/29/04-4/2/04: After taunting and then killing Alice, Marlena (the serial killer) set her murderous sights on eliminating Shawn. Bo and Hope found Alice, who opened her eyes briefly, but was unable to name her killer (Marlena) before she died. Alice and Tom were reunited in heaven. John confronted Marlena with evidence that forced her to admit she is the serial killer. John and Marlena struggled on the balcony after she grabbed his gun. From below, Sami watched John and Marlena's struggle, then saw Marlena go over the balcony railing. Lucas tried to rescue Sami, but Marlena landed on Sami after her fall was broken by an awning. Marlena regained consciousness in the hospital and claimed she is innocent. Nicole kept Jan from electrocuting Belle, who had fallen asleep in the bathtub. Nicole and Jan realized Marlena knows they killed Victor. Jennifer, who had abdominal pains, feared she will miscarry her baby.
 
4/5/04-4/9/04: Marlena regained consciousness and said John pushed her off the balcony to kill her, and also claimed John is the serial killer. John rushed off to get the real serial killer after Celeste got vibes that Marlena was innocent. John later dragged Marlena's look- alike, Hattie (he remembered her from the past) into the hospital and insisted that Hattie must be the serial killer. Kate urged Philip to comfort Belle, who was upset. Shawn dumped her when Belle admitted she lied and said that Marlena was with her when Doug was killed. Bonnie, who wants Mimi with Shawn, urged Philip to go after Belle. Nicole panicked when Brady said the police think she killed Victor. Philip almost recognized Jan, who was disguised as a doctor. Jennifer told Lexie that Patrick saved her unborn baby's life again. When Patrick learned Celeste had been Stefano's assistant, he lied and said he didn't have the doubloon when she asked to see it.
 
4/12/04-4/16/04: John, Bo, Hope, Lucas, Lexie, Belle, Philip, Shawn, and Sami were stunned that Hattie had proof she isn't the serial killer. Stefano's former henchman Bart backed up Hattie's story that she was in Europe during the time of some of the murders recovering from the last of her plastic surgery to make her look like Marlena (per Stefano's orders). Bart also proved Hattie had been in jail for shoplifting when Tony, Doug, and Alice were killed. Believing Marlena must be the serial killer, Bo arrested her and handcuffed her to the hospital bed. After Marlena said she was in Colorado with Eric when Abe was killed, Bo revealed Eric said she had left earlier - and thus could have been in Salem when Abe died. Marlena vowed to prove she is innocent. Jan reminded Nicole she still has Victor's will, the video, and the papers proving Nicole killed Colin. Patrick refused to harm Jennifer after a mystery man with whom he secretly met ordered him to "do what he came to Salem for."
 
4/19/04-4/23/04: To find out if Marlena is once again possessed by the devil, John, Bo, Hope, Shawn, and Belle watched as Father Jansen performed an exorcism on Marlena. After inviting the evil spirits into Marlena, Father Jansen told everyone that Marlena was not possessed because if she had been the evil spirits would have fought each other. Bo arrested Marlena for the Salem Stalker murders. In the holding cell, Marlena ended up bloodied and another inmate was found dead after Nicole bribed an old friend, Crystal, to kill Marlena. The others in the holding cell accused Marlena of murdering the inmate in cold blood. After learning Marlena wants to take truth serum, Nicole worried she would reveal Nicole and Jan killed Victor. Worried that she will go crazy like Marlena and hurt the people she loves, Belle told Shawn she wants nothing to do with him. Shawn realized Philip still loves Belle after seeing him comforting her.
 
4/26/04-4/30/04: While working on a school project, Abby found information on Patrick on the Internet showing he is a con man and a criminal. Patrick told Abby and Jennifer he had been a victim of identity theft, but later went onto the Internet, hacked into the Web site and deleted his photo and the information. Hope told Ivlarlena she is convinced Stefano is somehow behind the Salem Stalker murders. Lexie told Tek she thinks Stefano is behind Abe's murder. After the doctor gave Marlena truth serum she confessed to killing Abe, Jack, Maggie, Caroline, Cassie and Roman. After catching Lucas and Sami in bed together, Kate worried Sami will drive Lucas out of Salem just like she did to Austin. Julie warned she is watching Bonnie, who had her eye on the bearer bonds Jennifer inherited from Alice. Shawn broke up a fight between a disguised Jan and Nicole, who warned Jan to keep quiet about Victor's death.

5/3/04-5/7/04: Julie accused Bonnie, who had a purse full of money, of stealing Jennifer's bearer bonds, but Bonnie had proof she won the lottery. When Bonnie talked about marrying Mickey, Patrick said it would never happen. Patrick, who was also suspected of stealing the bearer bonds, was picked up by the police as he was leaving town. Patrick told Jennifer he didn't steal her bonds. Jennifer was hurt Patrick was leaving town without telling her. Shawn heard a mystery man talking about Jennifer and bearer bonds. Still under the truth serum, Marlena told Bo she didn't kill Victor, and neither did Nicole, but said she saw "them" (meaning Jan, who did kill Victor, and Nicole). Nicole arranged for her friend Crystal to kill Marlena after Marlena's return to jail. Crystal pretended to be Marlena's friend while other inmates tried to beat her up. After stealing keys and a gun from a guard, Crystal lured Marlena to the roof of the jail.
 
5/10/04-5/14/04: Crystal knocked Marlena out by hitting her with the guard's gun, left the gun beside Marlena, then jammed the door to the jail roof. A sharpshooter didn't hear Bo's order not to shoot, sho he shot Marlena as she ran toward John. After Lexie pronounced Marlena dead, John carried her body to a church and set up an impromptu wake for her. Celeste later had a visit from Marlena's ghost, who warned her that everyone in Salem would die. Crystal reported back to Nicole (Nicole had contracted with Crystal to kill Marlena) that she set things up so that the police would kill Marlena. Shawn helped Patrick get Jennifer's bearer bonds from the mystery man who stole them. Jennifer was stunned when a badly beaten Patrick was dumped on her front lawn. Jan disguised herself as Alice's old friend Mrs. B and said she needed Shawn's help. She lured Shawn to her country house, drugged his tea, then dragged him into her makeshift cage, chaining his legs and arms to the bed and locking him in.
 
5/17/04-5/21/04: While alone with Marlena's body and praying for Marlena's soul, Celeste was stunned when Marlena's corpse told her that evil has returned and that everyone in Salem is going to die. Before the embalming, Celeste and John didn't notice when Marlena's fingers moved. During the embalming, the mortician didn't notice when Marlena's eyes opened. At the funeral, John had the coffin opened when Sami, who threw herself on the coffin, said she heard Marlena begging to be let out. After John had the coffin opened, Sami freaked out when she saw Marlena was obviously dead. After everyone was gone, Marlena banged on the coffin and screamed that she was alive. Nicole forced Jan to bail Crystal out of jail because she arranged Marlena's death. Shawn realized Jan had kidnapped him. Jan fumed when she realized Shawn tried to escape while she was away. Dressed as Mrs. B, Nicole nearly freed Shawn while fantasizing he was Brady.
 
5/24/04-5/28/04: A stunned Marlena woke up in Alice's "living room." Marlena was shocked to see Roman, who said he carried her from "Salem Place" to Alice's. Roman made Marlena see she didn't kill anyone after telling her they were on a tropical island that has been transformed into a replica of Salem. Roman told Marlena that Doug, who is in horrible shape, was nearly electrocuted when he got too close to the security perimeter. Marlena and Roman talked about the fact Stefano could be behind their fate, but he's dead, which means his people are carrying out his last wishes. Abe told Alice he misses Lexie. When an alarm sounded, Roman told Marlena that someone in Salem was about to "die" and would be brought to the island. Julie dreamed that Doug is alive. Back in the real Salem, Bonnie vowed to get Mickey once he gets over Maggie's "death." Shawn failed to get the attention of a cop who was searching for him on Bo and Hope's behalf.
 
5/31/04-6/4/04: Philip slipped and told Belle he loves her. Belle didn't realize Philip was talking about her when he told her there is a "mystery woman" in his life. Rex is determined to stop Philip from moving in on Belle while Shawn is not around. Celeste told Hope that the spirits told her Shawn is in danger. After deciphering a riddle a spirit gave her, Hope told Bo they have to find Shawn or he will die. Shawn attempted to escape from Jan when she tried to seduce him. Marlena, Abe, and Roman worried that Jennifer may be the next to "die" and be brought to "New Salem." Marlena, Abe, and Roman also worried about Jack, who was trying to find a way off the island. Abe was concerned Lexie would follow his advice in a letter he left telling her to go on with her life if he died. Lexie was upset when Celeste touched Abe's letter, then said he was still alive. Tek didn't believe Patrick, who said he was never in prison.
 
6/7/04-6/11/04: Jan prevented Shawn from escaping by throwing a pot of hot coffee at him. After tending to Shawn's burns, a gun-toting Jan told him she was going to kill Belle. Shawn attempted to seduce Jan in order to keep her from killing Belle, but Jan eventually realized what Shawn was up to and head out to kill Belle. Instead of killing Belle, Jan took photos of Belle and Philip in romantic looking poses. Shawn was stunned when Jan showed him the photos of Belle and Philip, and taunted him that they appear to be in love. Marlena was surprised to see Victor, who told her he was actually "killed" by Jan and Nicole, but was brought to the island by whoever was behind the other "murders." Victor was stunned when Marlena said his evidence against Nicole (that she killed Colin), and his will, were missing from his safe. No one believed Jennifer, who said Jack contacted her via computer. On the phone, the mystery man (who had pretended to be Jack) told Patrick that Jennifer and her baby are going to die.
 
6/14/04-6/18/04: Patrick phoned the mystery man and told him to stop messing with Jennifer's head after she received another message from "Jack." Jennifer covered when Patrick saw her packing a suitcase, then kept mum that she heard from "Jack," and arranged to meet "Jack" at an old airfield. Patrick tried to warn Jennifer that someone is setting her up. Marlena was stunned to see Maggie, who said she had been in the jungle with Jack looking for a way off the island when Jack disappeared. Marlena told Roman that she now knows someone besides their mystery "host," wanted her dead, and recalled how Crystal tried to kill her in jail. In the real Salem, John is determined to prove Crystal had a connection to Marlena's "death." Crystal lied to John and said that Marlena tried to escape from jail in order to kill him. Shawn failed another attempt to escape from Jan. John agreed to help Belle find Shawn.
 
6/21/04-6/25/04: Patrick failed to get to Jennifer, who met Davies, the pilot, on an old airstrip. Jennifer got into the plane after Davies showed her a photo of Jack wearing the locket Abby had placed in his casket, and a videotaped message from Jack. On Captive Island, Abe and Roman were stunned to see Tony DiMera, who denied having anything to do with bringing the Salem Stalker "victims" to the island. Tony told Marlena that Stefano (who is supposedly dead) had no connection to the Salem Stalker because he would never have allowed Tony to be "killed" by Horton the tiger. While going in and out of consciousness, an ailing Jack "saw" Jennifer, learned they have a son, and that she married Patrick. Shawn was bummed when Jan, via a cable access TV channel, let him watch the opening of Bonnie and Mickey's restaurant, which is called Alice's, and he saw Belle and Philip enjoying what looked like an intimate dance.
 
6/28/04-7/2/04: Shawn got the keys to his makeshift cell during a struggle with Jan, but she halted his escape by knocking him out. Realizing Shawn faked amnesia when he said he didn't remember Belle, Jan forced him to watch an endless video loop of Belle and Philip dancing together. The TV was on but Shawn wasn't watching the NASCAR race when Belle made a public plea for Shawn's return. Davies crashed the plane while trying to take a cell phone away from Jennifer. Jennifer survived, then called for help after she fell off a cliff ledge. Hope and Patrick, who weren't in time to stop Jennifer from boarding the plane, heard the crash. On Captive Island, Maggie, Roman, Marlena, and a weakened Jack also heard the plane crash. Hope tried to arrest Patrick, who had to steal his doubloon (which he planned to use to rescue Jennifer) back after Bonnie pawned it. John plotted to use Earl, the prison guard, to prove Crystal caused Marlena's "death."

7/5/04-7/9/04: Hope caught Patrick in a cargo plane with the same logo as the plane Jennifer was on when it crashed. Hope wanted to arrest Patrick, who warned she would be putting Jennifer's life at risk if she stopped him from getting to her. Hope insisted on going with Patrick, who started to take off after the learned the plane Jennifer had been on made flights to uninhabited islands in the Caribbean. Racing to Hope's rescue, Bo and Tek tried to stop the plane from taking off. Bo heard Celeste predict Hope is going to die. Jack realized Jennifer was on Captive Island when he found the tag from her luggage near the plane crash site. Jennifer, who was clinging to a clump of grass on the cliff edge, fell to a ledge when Jack tried to rescue her. Jan kept Shawn from seeing Belle's televised plea for him to return home. On Nicole's orders, Jan knocked John out before Crystal could reveal to him that they had plotted to kill Marlena.
 
7/12/04-7/16/04: Jack rescued Jennifer from the side of the cliff. Later, Jennifer realized Jack was very ill when he passed out. Jack and Jennifer found shelter in a cave. Jennifer, who had false labor pains, passed out herself after she found Jack unconscious. Tek and Bo were watching on a mini-cam as the plane that Hope and Patrick were on entered restricted air space and was shot down by the military. Patrick and Hope managed to swim to Captive Island, washing up on shore in front of a stunned Marlena and Roman. Hope was shocked to see the Salem Stalker "victims" all still alive. Hope introduced everyone on the island to Patrick, and explained that he is Bonnie's son. After running into Jan, Philip suspects Jan is up to something even though she and Belle agreed to put the past behind them and be friends. Mimi tried to strangle Jan, but stopped when Jan said she's through with Shawn. Jan later taunted Shawn that Philip is living with Belle. Sami and Lucas made love.

7/19/04-7/23/04: Patrick escaped from Hope, Roman, and Abe after saying he had to rescue Jennifer or she and her baby would die. Hope, who nearly died trying to break through the electric force field around Captive Island, was stunned when Patrick used his doubloon to break the field. While searching for Jennifer, Patrick told Hope he had been sent to Salem to target Jennifer. Bo doesn't believe Hope is dead despite the fact that her blood was found on wreckage of the crashed plane. Jack fell into a pit, but escaped after Jennifer went for help. Jack tried to rescue Jennifer, who fell into a ravine when the rope bridge she was on broke. John, who found the stuffed bear Sami had placed in Marlena's coffin, decided to get a court order to dig up Marlena's grave and see what happened. Sami fumed upon learning John was going to dig up Marlena's grave. Jan was stunned when Belle and Philip arrived on her Kent Island doorstep. Kate fumed when Lucas said he and Sami had reconciled.
 
7/26/04-7/30/04: Belle was devastated when Jan, who lied to Belle, said she saw Shawn who told Jan he wants nothing to do with Belle, he's joining the Marines. After Jan gave Shawn's purity ring to Belle, Philip had it examined and found Shawn's prints on the ring. Shawn heard Belle's voice, but was unable to call for help because Jan had drugged him. Jan covered after giving Belle a description of her (fake) fiance that matched Shawn a little too closely. Jan played a tape for Shawn to prove Belle dumped him for Philip. On Captive Island, Roman, Marlena, and Abe hoped the cops in Salem would investigate Milbauer's Funeral Home, where they had been taken after their "deaths." Back in Salem, everyone believed Stefano was responsible when there was no body in Marlena's exhumed coffin. Hope and Patrick found Jack trying to rescue Jennifer from a ledge. Nicole arranged for Brady to think Chloe is cheating on him. Tek and Lexie kissed.
 
8/2/04-8/6/04: Unable to rescue Jennifer, Jack went to get help. After Jack left, Hope and Patrick failed a first attempt to rescue Jennifer from the ledge she was stranded on. Hope later tried to rescue both Jennifer and Patrick who, in trying to save Jennifer, ended up stranded on the same ledge with her. Back in Salem, Bonnie told Mimi she doesn't think Patrick died in the plane crash. John still suspects Stefano may be alive and responsible for Marlena's body being stolen from the coffin. Tek ignored a strange signal that came over his computer. On Captive Island, a mystery person left invitations to a party at Marlena's house, bringing everyone on the island together, then via a live TV feed, let them see that their friends and family in Salem appeared to be going on with their lives without them. Jan continued taunting Shawn with her own video feeds of Philip and Belle together. Sami accepted Lucas' marriage proposal.
 
8/9/04-8/13/04: Philip fantasized about making love to Belle, who is still devastated over losing Shawn. Shawn blamed Jan when he began to accept that Belle has moved on with Philip. Jan sent Shawn video images of Belle and Philip kissing. Bonnie urged Mimi to see a doctor when Mimi worried that she has uterine cancer and will die from it like her aunt did. Roman repaired the transmitter he and Abe made after Tony "accidentally" destroyed it. Tony mumbled that "he" wasn't going to like it when he learned Roman is trying to reach the outside world. Bo told John about the mysterious signal (from Abe and Roman's transmitter) he received on his computer. Marlena, Abe, Roman, and Doug were stunned to see Hope. Hope and Abe searched for Jennifer, Patrick, and Jack after the mystery man tailing Hope disabled the force field around the island. Patrick rescued Jennifer, who was in labor.

8/30/04-9/3/04: On Captive Island, Patrick helped Jennifer deliver a son, but worried she could bleed to death. The mystery man foiled Hope and Abe's search for Jennifer. Brady was shocked when a doctor in a remote Austrian hospital told him Chloe was critical after a car accident. Nicole jumped in to console Brady after Nancy told him Chloe had died. Brady had an impromptu memorial service for Chloe. Kate and John didn't believe Bo, who said he received a transmission of a secret code developed by Roman that proves Roman and Marlena are alive. The mystery man who turned out to be Tony, destroyed the transmitter Abe and Roman set up. Bo, John, and Tek traced the signal to the Caribbean before it went off. Marlena tended to Roman, who is close to death because of an infected leg wound. Philip told Belle she is the "mystery" woman he loves. Shawn escaped from Jan, who vowed to recapture him.

9/6/04-9/10/04: Finding Roman and Abe's coffins empty, John realized Bo was right, the Salem Stalker's victims are alive. Tek traced the radio signal to "Melaswen" Island, which John realized was "New Salem" backwards. Flying to the island, Bo and John were shot down in the same military airspace as Hope and Patrick had been. Victor, Doug, and Maggie pulled John and Bo from the downed plane. Everyone on Captive Island reunited in "New Salem," but Bo worried Hope wasn't there. Patrick disappeared while he and Hope searched for Jack. The mystery person who was tailing Patrick and Hope closed in on Hope. While Brady held a memorial service for Chloe, Nancy failed to get Chloe, who feels she will never sing again and whose face is horribly disfigured from the car accident, to tell Brady she's alive. Mimi learned she doesn't have cancer, but she is carrying Rex's baby. Sami told Lucas she loves him, not Brandon.
 
9/13/04-9/17/04: Chloe showed Nancy her disfigured face, then rejected Nancy's plea to tell Brady she is alive. Since Chloe is "dead," Nicole fantasized ending up with the Kiriakis money, mansion, and Brady. Tony faked using his Zen powers, while pushing a button to shut down the electric fence around New Salem, so Bo could go search for Hope. Bo was stunned to find Billie Reed, who said she was kidnapped when she got close to figuring out who was behind the Salem Stalker "murders." Billie and Bo were separated after someone knocked them out with drugged darts. Patrick told Hope he is not plotting to kill Jack even though he knows Jack is the love of Jennifer's life. Bo found Patrick and Hope just as they saw who could be either Jack or Billie lying on a ravine ledge. Patrick fell into the raging rapids below when he tried to reach the ledge. Shawn escaped from Jan again and went looking for Belle.
 
9/20/04-9/24/04: Hope rescued Jack, who was the person on the ledge. Jack, Jennifer, and their newborn son were reunited. Bo and Hope told everyone that Patrick (supposedly) died when he fell into the river while trying to rescue Jack. Hope failed to keep Bo from going into the jungle to search for Billie. In the real Salem, Kate blamed Bo when she learned Billie (supposedly) died. Tony was surprised to see his Zen mentor/swordmaster, Hanzo Hattori, and Tony's former right-hand-man, Bart. It was learned the DiMeras masterminded "New Salem." Tony told Bart that if anyone escapes the perimeter of "New Salem," Stefano wants them killed. Tony was about to tell Bart why he and Stefano arranged the "murders" when Hope arrived to ask Tony to help her find Bo. When Shawn regained consciousness after a motorcycle accident, Lexie asked if he wanted to see Belle or Jan (who lied she and Shawn are engaged.)
 
9/27/04-10/1/04: Jan was thrilled Shawn, who regained consciousness, refused to see Belle (he had flashes of Belle and Philip making love). Jan lied to Shawn about being engaged after learning he has no memory of her holding him prisoner. Jan kept Belle from asking Shawn if his relationship with (Jan) is for real. Against Lexie's orders, Jan told Shawn that Bo and Hope are (presumed) dead. Brady told Belle that John and Bo are presumed dead. Shawn blamed Belle for Hope and Bo's (presumed) deaths. Hope stole the remote from Tony to release the force field around "New Salem", then searched for Bo. Hope found an injured Patrick and they sought shelter in a cave. Bo found Billie, but a mystery person shot them with darts. Bo later woke up alone. Bo found Hope and Patrick. Hope fumed when Bo went looking for Billie again. Kate told Philip that Billie is (presumed) dead. Kate vowed to get Sami out of Lucas' life.
 
10/4/04-10/8/04: Nicole stowed away on the boat that Brady and Tek used to get to Captive Island, where they searched for John and Bo. Brady and Nicole hitched a ride with one of Tony's thugs while looking for John and Bo. Tek ran into Abe, then covered and said "no" when Abe asked if Lexie was involved with anyone (she has been seeing Tek). Bo found Billie, who told him the DiMeras are behind "New Salem" and plan to take over the real Salem by bringing everyone from the real Salem to the island to control them. Patrick and Hope found Bo and Billie, then Tony took them all prisoner and told them he masterminded everything. Shawn checked himself out of the hospital, then told Belle he knows she asked Philip to make love to her. Lexie didn't believe Celeste, who said Abe is still alive, then warned Lexie not to get too close to Tek. Jan suggested she help Shawn raise his kid brother Zack.
 
10/11/04-10/15/04: Patrick convinced Tony, whom he is secretly working for, that he is still loyal to him. Tony foiled John, Bo and Roman's plan to escape their holding cell. Via an air-shaft, Brady ended up in the holding cell where he was reunited with John. Nicole, who was separated from Brady, was stunned when, via an air vent she landed in a holding cell with Tony's "mystery guest" who turned out to be Colin Murphy. Brady rescued Nicole, but thought she was hallucinating when she said she saw Colin, and he can clear her of his (Colin's) supposed murder. Tony revived Colin, who had passed out after he saw Nicole. Tony was uneasy when Stefano called and ordered him to implement their doomsday scenario. Shawn refused to listen when Belle tried to explain why she had been in Philip's arms every time Shawn had seen her. Kate and Eugenia (Sami ruined Eugenia's nursing career) teamed up to destroy Sami.
