After receiving her one-way plane ticket,
Nicole boarded a plane with plans to get out of Victor's life for good, but he
stopped her. Nicole refused to tell Brady what in her past Victor is using to
prevent her from leaving him. Nicole decided she has to kill Victor. Hope got
upset when Bo wanted to find their attacker without her help because he didn't
want her to get hurt. Bo and Hope were unaware someone was spying on them. Lucas
insisted to Shawn that Tony had nothing to do with Hope and Bo's beating. Abe
spoke briefly to an informant who had information on Tony, but when Abe and Jack
went to meet the man a second time they found him dead. Abe accused Tony of
killing the informant, but didn't have evidence to charge him with the murder.
Kate was upset John gave Sami a job, and both are unaware Sami is planning to
use the job as a way to get even with them.
9/1/03-9/5/03: Belle told Hope that Shawn suspects Rex was
responsible for the attack on her and Bo, while Shawn told Bo of his suspicion.
Her first day at Basic Black, Sami fumed to learn Kate is her boss. While John
and Marlena hope Sami's job at Basic Black will be a new start for her, Sami
plotted to use the job to destroy Kate and John's relationship. Tony convinced
Sami he's the only one she can trust, since her family is out to get her. Abe
vowed to prove to Lexie that Tony is just as evil as Stefano was. After
Stefano's ashes fell from the mantle, Tony received a call that seemed to have
been from Stefano. Tony wants Abe out of Lexie's life - for good. Jennifer
worried about Jack, who is determined to get the goods on the DiMera family.
Alice worried about her family after she saw the "spirit" of her deceased
husband, Tom. Mimi was stunned to learn someone emptied her bank account.
9/8/03-9/12/03: On the phone with Stefano, Tony learned of
Stefano's sinister plan for the citizens of Salem. Tony told Stefano that Theo's
(Lexie and Abe's baby) christening is coming up. Cassie slipped (but covered)
after saying she and Rex are not Tony's children when he said they are the
DiMera dynasty's future. Abe saw Stefano's name on a wall after a mystery person
warned "he's back." Lexie didn't believe it when Abe said Stefano could be
alive. Using a scanner, Jack listened in when a mystery person gave Abe a tip
about Colin's murder. Since Nicole killed Colin, she decided Abe has to die
before he solves the murder. A mystery person pointed a gun at Jack after Victor
learned Jack had "bugged" his home. Victor heard Nicole say she has to kill him
if she's ever going to be free. Sami wants Roman and Marlena reunited. Mimi
found out her mother, Bonnie, stole her college money and gambled it
away.
9/15/03-9/19/03: An unseen shooter
fired a shot at Jack after he broke into Victor's mansion and planted a "bug" in
the phone. Jack warned Abe that his life is in danger since he is also
investigating Colin's murder. Abe told Jack, Brady, Victor and Nicole he is
close to arresting Colin's killer. Sami fumed when Abe refused to help her get
Brandon back. Tony and Rex had guns, Sami stole a gun from a security guard, and
Victor and Nicole each had a gun, Alice and Celeste both predicted there would
be a death immediately following baby Theo's christening. Kate bought a gun
after Abe said Roman should know about her call girl past. Lucas, who has a gun,
said he would handle things for Kate. Gunshots were heard as Jack and Abe left
their respective homes. Rex told Mimi he was born to carry on Stefano's legacy.
While on the phone with Stefano, Tony was upset he refused to reveal his plans
for Cassie and Rex.
9/22/03-9/26/03: With his dying breath,
Abe called Lexie on her cell phone, but lost consciousness before he could talk.
John found Abe and tried to revive him while Roman went to the church to tell
Lexie. Bo and Hope arrived on the scene just before Abe was rushed to the
hospital. Abe survived surgery, and after regaining consciousness, remembered
meeting the shooter (someone he knew) outside his home. The seven suspects in
Abe's shooting panicked when he was about to tell Roman the name of the person
who shot him. After Abe's shooting, Sami returned the gun she stole from the
security guard and Kate disposed of her gun - which was found by police.
After hiding his gun, Tony said Abe had been taken care of. Nicole covered when
Brady saw her toss her gun into the river. Kate begged Lucas (who had a gun) to
quit working for Tony. Shawn accused Rex (who had another headache) of attacking
Bo, Hope and Abe.
9/29/03-10/3/03: Just before Abe died,
he pointed at Maggie and said her name. Mickey and Maggie worried she could be
the next target of the person who killed Abe because she may know something
about the killer. John, Bo and Roman wanted to see the files Abe kept at home,
but when Lexie got home she saw that someone had burned Abe's computer and the
files. A worried Lexie took Theo and moved into the DiMera mansion. Tek told
John and Roman a profile he did of the shooter indicates he/she is a serial
killer. John used himself as bait to draw the killer out of hiding. Bo
pointed out that Rex, Tony, Kate, Lucas, Victor and Nicole all had motives to
kill Abe. Rex plotted a response after Mimi left him a message saying she was
breaking up with him. Rex didn't remember where he was at the time of Abe's
shooting. Jack promised Jennifer he would drop his investigation of Colin's
murder and Abe's death.
9/29/03-10/3/03: Just before Abe died,
he pointed at Maggie and said her name. Mickey and Maggie worried she could be
the next target of the person who killed Abe because she may know something
about the killer. John, Bo and Roman wanted to see the files Abe kept at home,
but when Lexie got home she saw that someone had burned Abe's computer and the
files. A worried Lexie took Theo and moved into the DiMera mansion. Tek told
John and Roman a profile he did of the shooter indicates he/she is a serial
killer. John used himself as bait to draw the killer out of hiding. Bo
pointed out that Rex, Tony, Kate, Lucas, Victor and Nicole all had motives to
kill Abe. Rex plotted a response after Mimi left him a message saying she was
breaking up with him. Rex didn't remember where he was at the time of Abe's
shooting. Jack promised Jennifer he would drop his investigation of Colin's
murder and Abe's death.
10/6/03-10/10/03: Mimi invited herself and Rex along after
learning Belle and Shawn were taking Grandpa Shawn's boat out for a cruise. The
four spent the night stranded on an island. Shawn fought with Rex when he
thought Rex was attacking Mimi, but then saw Rex had killed a snake that almost
bit her. Sami lured Kate to the police station after learning that Abe's
gardener, Ed Jennings, heard Abe arguing with a woman before he was shot. Ed
recognized Kate's voice as she argued with Sami. The security guard, whose gun
had been stolen, recognized Sami while the police at the station were
questioning him. Sami was upset that John, Marlena, Lucas, and everyone else
thinks she killed Abe. Marlena hypnotized Maggie, who remembered seeing Abe meet
with someone the day he was killed. Kate later blurted out that Maggie had info
on the identity of Abe's killer. Maggie, Jack, and John are unwitting targets of
the serial killer.
10/13/03-10/17/03: Maggie found Jack's body after the
serial killer smashed his head with a brick. Jennifer had Jack's life-support
system shut off after Lexie said he was brain dead. Abby was angry Jennifer gave
the order to let Jack die, but was with him and Jennifer to the end. Jennifer
followed Jack's wishes and released his organs for donation. At the site of
Jack's beating, Hope and Bo realized he was attacked in the same manner they
were. The serial killer was waiting when Hope took the brick used to kill Jack
to the police evidence room. After Alice saw Tom's ghost, she saw a photo of
Hope begin to fade. Bo, Roman, and John rounded up the seven suspects in Abe's
murder for DNA tests. Rex told Tony that Jack had to die, then blamed his
headaches for saying that. Maggie is upset she hasn't been able to remember the
identity of the killer. Because of the DiMera money, Bonnie urged Mimi to get
pregnant by Rex.
10/20/03-10/24/03: Hope fought off the serial killer, who
escaped, taking the brick used to kill Jack with him/her. Marlena hypnotized
Maggie again to see if she could remember Abe's killer, but Maggie only saw Tom
Horton's ghost. It was too much for Maggie (who was still hypnotized) when Hope
suggested she draw the killer's face. After a nightmare, Maggie awoke to the
feeling she was being watched by evil. Everyone was stunned Jennifer had Jack's
body brought to their home, as per his request. Jack's spirit appeared to
Jennifer (who slept next to his coffin), but he was pulled away by cosmic
forces. Alice tried to comfort Abby, who is angry Jennifer took Jack off
life-support. Rex passed a lie detector test after insisting he wasn't Hope's
attacker. John realized Rex and Cassie may not be Tony and Marlena's children
after learning Rex failed a lie detector question about his parents.
10/27/03-10/31/03: Maggie fainted from fright after
someone locked her inside Marlena's office. Maggie insisted the evil eyes of the
serial killer were in the room with her. Later, Maggie thought she saw Jack
reaching out to her from the spirit world. Maggie believes she will be the
killer's next victim. Philip told Bo and Hope he thinks Rex is the serial
killer, because he, Mimi, and Cassie followed Rex to all the crime scenes. Rex
told Cassie he doesn't remember where he was (the night he was followed). The
serial killer wore a Halloween mask like the one Rex bought. John told Marlena
that she might not be Rex and Cassie's biological mother. Jennifer said goodbye
to Jack's spirit - after he told her there would be another murder. Belle said
goodbye to Shawn, because to protect her, John arranged for her to work with a
fashion designer in Italy. Kate stunned Roman by revealing her call girl
past.
11/3/03-11/7/03: On Halloween night, an unwitting Maggie
let the serial killer into her home when she recognized him/her. The killer hid
when Officer Kent checked on Maggie. The killer bludgeoned Maggie with a liquor
bottle after she recognized his or her eyes as those of the person who had
killed Abe. The killer then attacked Mickey, who, woken from his sleep, went
downstairs to find a bloody Maggie slumped on the kitchen floor. Bo and Hope
arrived after watching a live-feed e-mail transmission of Maggie's attack, which
the killer taped with a camcorder and sent to Bo's computer by hacking into it.
Maggie, who regained consciousness, had a seizure when she saw the killer
standing outside the kitchen door after Bo and Hope's arrival. After Celeste
read Bonnie's tarot cards (the deck came up all death cards), the duo
unwittingly came face-to-face with the serial killer. Rex, Kate, and Sami all
had hooded sweatshirts and/or Halloween masks like those worn by the serial
killer.
11/10/03-11/14/03: Maggie passed away with Mickey, Hope,
Shawn, Jennifer and Alice at her bedside. Roman arrested Rex for Maggie's murder
when blood on his sweatshirt proved to be Maggie's. Rex told Cassie that the
serial killer had already the next victim and he/she will strike when Rex is in
jail. Victor suggested Caroline's fingerprints were planted on the liquor bottle
used to bludgeon Maggie as a signal that Caroline would be the serial killer's
next victim. At Abe, Jack and Maggie's joint funeral, Bo received a message on
his PDA from the killer stating Caroline is the next target and she had only one
hour to live. Also during the funeral, a fourth casket mysteriously appeared
during a blackout (caused by an eclipse). Sami threatened to keep Will away from
Lucas, who is drinking again.
11/17/03-11/21/03: After the time the serial killer said
Caroline would die had passed, Bo went into the hospital chapel to get Caroline.
When Bo touched Caroline, who was on her knees in a praying position, she fell
to the floor and he realized she was dead. Bo's hope he could trace the killer
via the message he or she left on Bo's PDA about Caroline's impending death were
dashed when the trace was impossible. At Caroline's wake, Celeste was able to
communicate with Caroline, who said the killer was going to strike again.
Marlena collapsed right after Roman got a message from the killer stating
someone else would die. Brady rescued Nicole when Victor nearly strangled her
for mocking his grief over Caroline's death. John heard Sami make a threat on
Caroline's life just before Caroline died, and John quizzed Sami. Jan Spears
returned to Salem to stalk an unsuspecting Shawn.
11/24/03-11/28/03: When Bo, Hope, and Roman vowed to catch
the serial killer, Rex warned them that whoever is close to solving the case
would die. At Caroline's wake, Sami shocked everyone by accusing Rex of being
willing to kill to keep secret the fact that Roman is Rex and Cassie's father.
Later, Cassie confessed that Kate is her and Rex's mother. While Roman and Kate
were surprised by the news, Marlena comforted Tony, who was upset at learning he
isn't the twins' father. Sami fumed when Kate and Roman reconciled after
learning they are the twins' parents, then realized that if Kate was made out to
be the serial killer, Kate and Roman could never be together. Cassie told Rex
she knows the killer's identity, and that he/she is trying to frame Rex. When
Cassie was called by the serial killer, she told him/her she is going to the
police. Caroline's ghost told Celeste that John will kill Marlena.
12/1/03-12/5/03: Everyone was stunned to learn Cassie was
the serial killer's latest victim. While holding Cassie's body, Rex accused
Kate, who was holding a bloody knife, of killing her own daughter. Roman had to
arrest Kate, who couldn't remember picking up the knife that proved to be the
murder weapon. Tony, who was devastated by Cassie's death, told Stefano on the
phone that Cassie was dead, then said "it wasn't supposed to happen this way."
Sami forced Celeste to tell Marlena, John, and Roman that Caroline's ghost told
her John would kill Marlena. John said he'd move out after realizing Marlena
fears him. Abe's ghost also claimed John would kill Marlena during a seance
Celeste conducted for Lexie, Jennifer, Roman, and Sami. Jan, who continued
stalking an unwitting Shawn, recalled vowing to get back to Salem over her
mother's dead body if necessary. Brady told Victor not to bring Chloe back to
Salem.
12/8/03-12/12/03: SamI vowed to get rid of Victor before
the new year after he threatened to reveal how she lied and said Lucas abused
Will in order to get custody of the boy. Lucas and Sami argued over her theory
that both Kate and John are serial killers. When Marlena and Roman rejected
Sami's suggestion they go into hiding, she vowed to get Marlena away from John
even if she has to kill him. After breaking into Kate's hotel room to plant
evidence that she is the serial killer, Sami found herself face-to-face with the
masked killer. Roman got Kate released on bail so she could attend Caroline's
funeral. After Caroline's funeral, Rex told Roman, Kate, John, Marlena, Sami and
Lucas that the serial killer's next victim would be Roman. Bo and Hope got the
same message on his PDA. While Shawn talked to Belle on the phone, Jan vowed
Belle would die if she returns to Salem. Brady told Victor and Nicole that Chloe
is coming home.
12/15/03-12/19/03: While attempting to frame Kate, Sami
came face-to-face with the axe- and knife- wielding serial killer. When Kale and
Roman arrived, Roman held the "killer" at gunpoint. After unmasking the
"killer," Kate, Sami and Roman were stunned it was Lucas, who said he was trying
to scare Sami, Roman saw the serial killer at Bonnie's Christmas tree lot, but a
rookie cop caused Roman to lose the killer. Later, Sami encountered the real
serial killer, and thinking he/she was Lucas, verbally abused the person and
then tried to defend herself. Roman saved Sami from death, but the serial killer
escaped again, Mimi, Max and Bonnie were confronted by the serial killer. Shawn,
Rex and Roman ran to the rescue after getting a distress call from Mimi and
Bonnie. After stealing a key to the loft, Jan plotted to get revenge against a
returned Belle as soon as she was alone, Victor offered to fly Chloe to Salem
for Christmas.
12/22/03-12/26/03: Rex gave chase after Bonnie and Mimi
escaped from the serial killer, but the killer escaped when Roman distracted
Rex. Roman, who had shot at the killer, later found blood at the site. Hoping to
stop the killer, Rex decoded a message the killer sent to Roman's PDA, then sent
a message back. Tony's PDA started to ring just as Rex sent his message to the
killer. Rex and Mimi scattered Cassie's ashes on the hilltop where he and Cassie
were originally discovered. John and Marlena discovered their love is stronger
than ever. Mimi's arrival prevented Jan from killing Belle. Sami and Lucas both
denied they still have feelings for each other. On Kate and Roman's wedding day,
Sami vowed they would not marry. Marlena worried Kate will break Roman's heart.
Jennifer told her family that she is pregnant. Chloe and Brady were reunited,
but Nicole is determined to come between them.
12/29/03-1/2/04: Tony was arrested and charged with being
the serial killer after Rex found, on Tony's PDA, the threatening messages
the killer had been sending. Tony insisted he was innocent, and warned the real
killer was still out there. Marlena refused to let Bo tell Roman, who had just
tied the knot with Kate, that Tony had been released on bail. 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.
Roman learned the killer's identity moments before the killer slashed
him.
1/5/04-1/9/04: John, Bo, & Hope caught a hooded
trespasser, pulled off his hood and found the man was Tony. Roman's body was
found in the kitchen at Tuscany after everyone heard Kate screaming and saw her
covered with blood. After Tony's re-arrest, Celeste was visited by Roman and
Maggie's spirits, who told her the cops arrested the wrong man. Celeste realized
she could be the next victim after the ghosts of Roman and Maggie told her
Celeste already knows the killer's identity. Everyone was stunned when Mickey
agreed to defend Tony. Victor believes Nicole killed Roman to get the
information (which she burned) that proved she killed Colin. Shawn gave chase
when he thought he saw Jan (he did), but she got away and he ended up "catching"
Nicole. Nicole later told Jan she needs her help. Brady and Chloe made love.
During a medical exam, Lexie had to tell Jennifer that something's not right
with Jennifer's unborn baby.
1/12/04-1/16/04: Jennifer learned her unborn baby is in
jeopardy. Lexie told Jennifer that if she doesn't abort the fetus, Jennifer and
the baby could die. Abby was furious when she heard Jennifer talking to Alice
about terminating the pregnancy. Victor told Tony he thinks the serial killer is
a woman. Bo was angry with Mickey for defending Tony at his pre-trial hearing.
Tek testified that Roman was killed with the knife used to cut the wedding cake,
not Tony's samurai sword. After Marlena testified that Tony didn't kill Roman,
the judge dropped the murder charge against Tony, who was set free. Nicole shot
at Victor (but missed) when he threatened to tell Tony she is the serial killer.
Belle and John escorted a disoriented Marlena to Roman's funeral. Belle, Shawn,
John, and Marlena were stunned when Doug and Julie returned from a trip with a
Bengal tiger. Celeste saw the eyes of a tiger then said someone else would soon
die.
1/19/04-1/23/04: As Doug and Julie told how they rescued
the tiger they brought with them to Salem, Marlena recalled a nightmare about
being attacked by a tiger. 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. Lexie was unable to save Tony after
the Salem Stalker, who was revealed to be Marlena, put a lethal drug in his I.V.
drip. 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 learned of the lethal injection after having an
autopsy done on Tony. After Nicole told Brady and Victor she had nothing to do
with Tony's death, Victor found her barrette in the hospital cubicle where Tony
had been. Jan continued spying on Shawn and Belle.
2/2/04-2/6/04: After Celeste told Lexie that Tony's ghost
told her she knows the Salem Stalker's identity, Celeste felt a chill when she
locked eyes with Marlena. Celeste, who worried she would be the next victim,
refused when Lexie wanted Marlena to hypnotize Celeste to get the name of the
Stalker. 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. The limo that Chloe was
riding in suddenly crashed.
8/16/04-8/20/04: Preempted all week for Summer
Olympics.
8/23/04-8/27/04: Preempted all week for Summer
Olympics.
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.
10/18/04-10/22/04: Bo rescued Billie, who fell into a lava
pit, then tried to hand him a CD-ROM containing Tony's computer files. John and
Hope found Brady and Nicole in the airshaft to Tony's bunker. Nicole was
shocked when Hope told her Victor is alive. John and Brady found the generator
that controls power on the island and disabled it. John and Brady found
Roman, and ran into Patrick and Nicole, who had Colin with them. Nicole told the
others she saw Patrick program a computer (on Tony's orders) to cause the island
volcano to erupt. Colin said Tony's vendetta against the Salemites has to
do with his hatred for his half-brother, John. Tony had Patrick bring
everyone to a study in the bunker, where John saw one of Stefano's trademark
cigars. As part of her and Eugenia's plot to split up Sami and Lucas. Kate tried
to persuade Brandon to return to Salem. Belle and Philip made love. Shawn and
Jan made love
10/25/04-10/29/04: Tony told Roman, Patrick, John and
Marlena he arranged for them to end up on Captive Island to prove to Stefano he
was a real DiMera. Tony said he made Marlena the Salem Stalker to hurt John
because he stole Kristen from him, and because Stefano had favored John as
his loyal soldier. Tony told everyone he killed Stefano and used his blood
to cure himself of a fatal blood disease. Tony then detonated a bomb that caused
the island volcano to erupt. Abe saw Stefano's ring in the rubble of the study.
Abe helped Brady, Nicole, an injured Victor, and Tek. Caroline told Nicole she
knows what she did to Victor. Jennifer and Alice comforted each other. Jack
vowed to protect Jennifer. Bo struggled to save Hope and Billie, who were
surrounded by lava from the volcano. A seemingly dead Tony revived when Bart put
Stefano's ring on his finger.
11/1/04-11/5/04: Bart couldn't follow Tony's orders to
kill John, Marlena, Roman, Abe, and Patrick. Later, John seemingly killed Tony
with a dagger. However, Tony was able to detonate an explosive that caused the
island volcano to erupt again, causing a giant tidal wave. The Coast Guard
rescued the island captives (who escaped the island on rafts) except for
Marlena, Roman, Cassie, Caroline, Victor, and Jack, who were missing. Kate and
Eugenia failed to bring Sami and Brandon together during a Halloween party
because they were costumed and didn't recognize each other. Brandon assured
Lexie he wouldn't let Kate use him to break up Sami and Lucas. Celeste told Sami
that if Brandon stayed in Salem overnight, Sami's future would be ruined. Lexie
asked Brandon to stay for one night after hearing he was leaving Salem. Mimi
worried she would lose Rex if he finds out she aborted their baby.
11/8/04-11/12/04: Japanese fishermen rescued Roman and
Marlena, who were stunned to see a gun-wielding Bart. Bo, Hope, and Abe boarded
the fishing boat after the Coast Guard intercepted it. They didn't see Roman and
Marlena, who were taken prisoner by a surviving Tony. Tony is also holding
Caroline, Victor, Cassie, and Jack prisoner. Bo and Hope were later
reunited with their family. Kate saw a hospitalized John, who told her Roman was
missing. Abe was reunited with Lexie. Patrick went with Jennifer, who was
reunited with Abby. Abby met her new baby brother for the first time, but
doesn't know Jack is missing. Maggie was stunned to learn Mickey and Bonnie were
"married" in Las Vegas. Julie fainted when she saw Doug. Abe was hospitalized
with a vision problem. Sami convinced Lucas he's the man she loves. Kate gloated
after arranging for Sami to come face to face with Brandon.
11/15/04-11/19/04: Julie convinced Maggie to fight for
Mickey, whose marriage to Bonnie is valid because Maggie had been declared
legally dead at the time of Mickey and Bonnie's nuptials. Bonnie fumed when
Maggie accepted Mickey's suggestion they all live in the same house (and have
separate bedrooms). Sami believes Roman and Marlena are alive. Tony told Roman
and Marlena that the clothes and blood taken from them were used to make
everyone believe they are dead. Abby blamed Jennifer after learning Jack is
(supposedly) dead. Hope gave Marlena's wedding ring to John after telling him
she (supposedly) died. John dreamed that Marlena cured his paralysis. Someone
put a substance into John's IV tube. Abe learned his blindness could be
permanent. Billie told Hope she has feelings for Bo, but Billie is leaving town
and will never see Bo again. Kate tried to get Billie to stay in Salem. Shawn
heard that Philip asked Belle to marry him.
11/22/04-11/26/04: As Billie made plans to leave town,
Celeste predicted the person Billie would love more than anyone else lives in
Salem. Billie said things would have been different if her and Bo's daughter,
Georgia, had survived. Billie was stunned when Bo told her a secret file on the
computer disk taken from Tony indicates their daughter, Georgia, could be alive.
Bo and Billie looked for further evidence that Georgia was alive. Billie met
Abby's new friend, Chelsea, While a hospitalized John continued to suffer
excruciating pain, the mystery person continued injecting a drug into his IV
tube. At a castle in an undisclosed location, Tony continued to torture Roman,
and Bart put Jack into a cell after his attempt to escape from Tony failed.
Mickey spent time refereeing fights between Maggie and Bonnie. Shawn heard
Belle say she wants to marry Philip (who is a Marine) before he ships out.
11/29/04-12/3/04: After deciphering a code on the DiMera
computer disk, Bo and Billie locate a DiMera safe house, then found out it had
burned to the ground. Bo and Billie were relieved no one Georgia's age was
killed in the fire. Billie told Bo that Georgia might be in Europe, just as
Jennifer warned Hope that Billie is going to want Bo in Georgia's life if they
find her. In Austria, Nancy worried about Chloe, whose face is black and blue
and whose wounds and scars had gotten infected. Encouraged by Brady's spirit,
Chloe decided to fight to live. Brandon decided to stay in Salem to be with Abe,
who regained his sight briefly before losing it completely. Brandon didn't
believe Celeste's prediction he and Sami would soon stand before a Justice of
the Peace. After Shawn rejected her again, Belle told Philip she would marry
him. Lucas refused when Sami wanted to elope. Tony taunted Victor and
Caroline.
12/6/04-12/10/04: Brady told Nicole they couldn't make
love because he loves Chloe. In Austria, Chloe decided Brady must not see her
until after she had surgery to remove her facial scars. Sami was relieved
Brandon wasn't injured when she and Lucas crashed into him on a snowy road. Sami
was devastated to learn she couldn't marry Lucas because her and Brandon's
annulment papers were never properly filed. Later, while making love with Lucas,
Sami saw Brandon's face. Hope was upset when Bo flew to Europe with Billie, who
believes Georgia is being held at a remote DiMera castle. After foiling Jack's
attempt to escape from the DiMera castle, Tony taunted Jack by saying Patrick is
living with Jennifer. After learning Jan had been holding Shawn prisoner, Mimi
called Philip and Rex for help. Shawn and Belle started to make love after he
rescued her during a snowstorm.
12/13/04-12/17/04: Bo and Billie found evidence Georgia is
at the DiMera castle. Bo and Billie escaped Tony's guards after she set off a
bomb in a booby-trapped file cabinet. Bo and Billie hid in an empty room,
unaware they were near the room where Roman and Marlena are held prisoner. Tony
taunted Roman and Marlena with a video that made it look like John and Kate were
making love. Roman and Marlena began to doubt she actually saw Bo and
Billie on the window ledge outside their room. Tony's henchman injected John
with a drug to counteract the pain meds. Lexie gave him. Shawn and Belle both
thought the other dreamed they made love before their rescue from the barn,
which caught fire. Mimi took Belle, Shawn, Philip and Rex to Jan's house to show
them the cage Jan had kept Shawn in. Nancy insisted Chloe get help from a doctor
located near Salem. Lucas was relieved when Brandon said he is leaving
