Schmoozing Like a Pro!

Lexi, Abe, Bo and Hope are exuberant when Abe is named mayor, at the pub, but Tony notices that Roman looks troubled, he opens up to him about Stefano's part in the murder of Mariano. They wish Stefano would have stayed out of this election and Roman wonders if Abe will turn down the job.

Nearby, Evan asks Abe to make his speech. He thanks Lexi for putting up with him and says how honored he is to be the mayor of Salem, and accepts the position of mayor.

EJ makes a call from outside the pub, looking for Nicole, then goes into the pub and asks Bo for help. "Nicole's missing." They men go outside and EJ shares how Nicole was to be transferred to University hospital but she hasn’t been checked in under that name. Bo makes a call and finds out Nicole's in the jail infirmary.

Bo returns to the pub and explains what happened with EJ. Bo grins at Abe and says, "He's schmoozing like a pro!" Nearby, Roman congratulates Abe and admits he was concerned that Abe wouldn’t take the position. Abe admits he was conflicted and says it puts a damper on the celebrations knowing Stefano could have had a hand in Marino's death. He refuses to let anyone keep him from his civic duty. They stare at Bo and Abe says he plans to name Bo police commissioner. They'd like to finally get the upper hand on Stefano. Nearby, Lexi tells Hope that Abe wants to name the new police commissioner soon. The group gets together and congratulations are all around. Abe asks Bo to become the new police commissioner and Bo says he may need time to think about it, but laughs and says, "Why do you think I wore this damned tie?!" He's happy to be on board. Bo and Abe pose for photos and Tony says he finally feels as though Salem's in capable hands.

Acquired Taste!

Stefano arrives at the mansion and tells Tony that he did is civic duty and voted! He sports a button, but Tony thinks he isn't against getting his hands bloody to swing an election. Tony wonders if Stefano had a hand in the mayor's untimely demise, which upsets Stefano. Stefano knows that Abe loathes him and calls him an insufferable snore. Why would he help him? Tony thinks maybe to help Lexi, but Stefano says Carver has turned her against him. Stefano will take pride in Lexi becoming the new first lady of Salem and he'll be happy to dance with her at the inaugural ball. Tony again asks if he murdered Marino or if he hired somebody. Stefano goes through some letters and tells Tony to look through his bills to find a bill from the hit man. "Oh my God, I hope my bill isn't past due," he says, clutching at his chest for effect!

Hope and a dapper Bo arrive at the Brady pub, with Bo griping about wearing fancy clothes.

Abe has returned to the pub and Lexi asks if he can forgive her for involving Stefano in their lives. Abe says she's not to blame. The blood is on his hands as he's the one to set it into motion. Lexi dries tears and Bo and Hope come to Abe and Lexi's side and Bo says he heard the election results are in! Later, Roman comes by and pokes fun at Bo and his tie. "Did Ma dress you," he asks and Evan eventually announces the mayor, who has won by a landslide - Abe! Everyone claps and cheers and Tony stands to the side, clapping but looks concerned.

Hissing at the Wrong Jaguar!

Lexi and Tony arrive at the pub, with Lexi fretting over Abe. Tony asks what's going on and Lexi says she has a part in Marino's death. She shares what happened between she and Stefano. Tony finds her ultimatum reasonable, but Lexi thinks her ultimatum resulted in murder. Tony knows Stefano can be ruthless, but she can't automatically assume he killed Marino. Lexi admits he did deny it, and Tony points out that Stefano wouldn't have the man murdered outside his own door! Lexi still has a gut feeling that Stefano committed the crime - for her.

Meanwhile, the killer tells somebody on the phone not to worry. By the end of the night, Samantha Brady will be dead.

Later, Abe comes out of the pub and tells the two that they're having a press conference, after they discussed the murder of the mayor. Stefano watches from nearby as Abe asks Tony and Lexi to come into the pub to lend support. Stefano grins as the three go into the pub.

Inside the pub, Abe makes a statement about Marino's death, and reporters ask Lexi if it's true that her father made considerable contributions to the mayor's campaign and if Abe did. Abe tells them he can't speak for Marino, but he hasn't and won't. Tony and Lexi whisper about Stefano, nearby, after the conference is over and Abe finds them and wants to know what's up. Lexi wonders if the killer has plans to take out somebody else, not just Marino.

Ducks In a Row!

At the DiMera Mansion, EJ and John discuss what Stefano might be up to, holding a cocktail party. John wonders why he would be invited to one of his parties. EJ notes that he is invited too. Sami appears. "So am I!" Sami mentions that she left messages for John with the housekeeper, but they were intercepted. Stefano appears and says, "Indeed!" Sami recounts how Stefano showed up at the police station. John assures her he would've come if he'd got the messages. EJ wonders what Stefano's motive was in helping Sami. Stefano says he wanted to prove he wasn't such a bad guy. Sami notes that she didn't accept his help. John tells Stefano to stay away from Sami. Stefano goes to check on the champagne. Sami asks if they know what the party is about. EJ tells her he has no idea, but he's grateful she didn't take Stefano up on his offer for help. They start to argue about her going to the cabin and he tells her to grow up. She notes that her parents just said the same thing. Tony and Anna have joined the group and EJ asks Stefano if this party is just some charade to get them back on his side. Stefano says tonight they're going to see that he's not their enemy. He says the reason the family is torn apart is due to someone who can be more ruthless than he can! John takes Sami out in the hallway and she thanks him for being on her side. He says if EJ upset her it was only out of concern. He notes that he feels like she's the only one who gets him too - especially since Ava left. He then asks what he can do to help her. She says she isn't sure if anyone can help her, except maybe Stefano. John panics, warning her to have nothing to do with his brother! He tells her if anyone can stop Stefano - it's him. They then return to the party.

Stefano stands before his guests and says he hopes that what is revealed tonight will reunite the DiMera family as they realize that they have been torn apart by the criminal actions of someone they would least suspect! Just then, Marlena arrives. Stefano says, "My dear, your timing is impeccable, as always!" Sami asks what she's doing there and Marlena says she got a message from John asking her to meet him here. John says he didn't send her a message. Stefano admits that he did it - he wanted to make sure she showed up - she's the guest of honor! Marlena says she won't be staying, and the others all start making noises about leaving. Stefano tells them all to stop - they aren't going anywhere until he tells them why he has brought the guest of honor there. He turns to Marlena, saying that they will all be surprised to find that within her body beats a heart as black as his! Marlena tells him to go to Hell and walks out into the hall. John follows, asking her not to leave. She says Stefano is right, she's a doctor and she injected a man with poison. John says she had reason - he got what he deserved! Marlena gets tears in her eyes and thanks him. "He did take away the man I loved most in the world, and I'll never get him back again." John urges her to feel empowered by her actions - she protected her family. Back in the living room, Anna asks Stefano if they're supposed to believe that Marlena is responsible for his coma? Stefano says Marlena is a menace! Suddenly, Marlena walks back into the room and tells them that she did it! She injected Stefano with poison and put him in a coma! And given the chance to do it again - she might just do it! Anna is stunned, but Sami says her mother had no choice. Marlena says her conscience wouldn't allow her to kill him, so she had to incapacitate him - so he could no longer hurt anyone! Stefano calls it torture - he was a prisoner in his own body. Sami says he deserved it - she's proud of her mother! Stefano wants to know what EJ and Tony think now that they know the truth. They tell him he brought it on himself and he gets no sympathy from them. Stefano glares, and puts them all on notice. "Vengeance will be mine!" John, however, steps forward and puts Stefano on notice!

Back at the DiMera Mansion, Anna, Tony, and EJ wonder out loud what John and Stefano are discussing behind closed doors. EJ tells Tony it's time to make their move and take over from Stefano!

In the living room, John warns Stefano to stay away from Marlena and not breathe a word of what she did to anyone else. Stefano says he can't agree to that - she needs to pay! John says he'll have to go through him! Stefano says that's fine. John tells him what he went through in the coma is nothing! He leaves the room and Stefano strolls out into the hall laughing. EJ and Tony ask what's so funny. Stefano chuckles, "John. You two clowns." He assures them that he's putting all of his ducks in a row! John runs into Sami and Marlena outside. He tells Marlena he has her back and as long as he's alive, Stefano will never hurt her!

The Proposal!

Tony and Anna arrive home to the mansion, and he berates her for giving a boring presentation. She says, "My presentation killed and you know it!" Anna spots a table for two set up in the living room. Anna thinks Tony set it up for her, but Stefano appears and announces that his 'date' will be arriving soon! Tony wonders who would be nervy, or foolish, enough to date his father! Just then, Kate walks in! Anna tells Kate she knows she's been lonely - but maybe she should try speed-dating. Stefano dismisses them, but Tony says they're not going anywhere! Tony takes Stefano aside and amuses him by asking what his intentions are with Kate. Anna, at the same time, asks Kate if she knows why Stefano invited her there. Kate begins to cough. Anna expresses concern, then drags Tony out of the room. Tony listens outside the door, whispering to Anna, "We've got to find a way to protect her!" Stefano compliments Kate and they get up to speed on how he is free to make a life in Salem. He toasts to new beginnings, "To us!"
