Blathering on and on...

Outside of Bo's room, Shawn tells Belle and Hope he tried to get Bo to fight. Hope wants to know what he said but Shawn skirts the question. Steve tells her that Shawn doesn't want to discuss it but he will tell her that Bo said he needed to make arrangements. Hope is angered that Bo's giving up but Shawn and Steve point out that he's stubborn and she's his first priority. Hope begins to cry and calls Shawn a good son. She runs off intent on talking sense into Bo. She runs into his room and yells at him to stop making arrangements. He's not going anywhere! She demands he fight. "Okay,… You're right. I'm going to beat this thing," he tells her.

Back outside the room, Steve, Belle and Shawn try to focus on helping Bo. Shawn admits he begged his dad and tried to make him feel guilty. Hope's tough love isn't working either. There must be another way to get him to fight!

Family Dinner Night

At the mansion, Rolf informs John that dinner is almost ready. They talk about Claire, the only member of his family who doesn't ask stupid questions and annoy him. He just wants to get this over with. So does Rolf; he's a scientist, not Martha Stewart. The doorbell rings and the guests file in. "I've been looking forward to this," John announces. Rolf arches his eyebrow and then takes their coats. Belle still can't get used to her father living in the mansion. He assures them that everything there is his. He pulls Claire away from some antiques before she can grab them and thanks everyone for coming to "Family Dinner Night". Marlena hands him the gift they brought. It's a photo album. "No thank you," he growls. Belle thinks he should try to remember things, but John doesn't want to. Shawn points out that there are cute pictures of Claire inside. "You fight dirty," John mumbles before opening up the book. He flips through Belle's baby pictures and grumbles about his bad 80's hair. He seems disturbed but insists that he's not remembering anything and walks out.

John sits on the stairs alone until Belle comes out to sit by him. She knows he isn't who she wants him to be. He feels like he's being shoved back into a life that's no longer his. The family misses him; even if they have him back physically, he's gone in every other way. He doesn't think that's ever going to change. She thinks the new John will be a very lonely guy. Claire comes out to sit with "pop pop" while Belle goes back to the family. He tells her his problems and asks her to spy for him. He also reminds her to call him John.

Marlena's annoyed that her plans to get the old John back have been backfiring. She wonders if they are really the ones to blame. "I hate Stefano! I could kill him for what he did to dad!" Belle blurts out. This makes Rolf nervous. Before he can run away, they turn on him and demand that he explain how they can get John back. "I think dinner is burning," he says, running into the kitchen. John brings Claire back in so they can eat. Marlena says that next time they come, she'll bring pie instead of photos. Rolf starts bringing in appetizers and yelling at Belle for playing with Stefano's things. John reminds him that he owns everything now. "He's so creepy," Belle cringes at Rolf. "He is kinda strange," John smiles. Belle and Shawn tease each other and laugh, letting Marlena know that they are planning a big adventure. John drifts off while Marlena talks about her plans. They ask him if he has any plans of his own. "As Claire would say, that's for me to know...." "....and you to find out," she says, finishing his thought and climbing onto his lap. John explains that he's planning on rebuilding Stefano's business empire. Rolf announces that dinner is ready and they head to the table. Belle still wants her father back. Rolf stares over at the painting of Stefano on the wall. Later, dinner is interrupted when Hope calls Shawn about Bo.

A Fresh Start

Belle excitedly flounces into the pub. A smiling Shawn grabs her hand and drags her out again as Philip and Chloe arrive. He wonders where the reunited couple could be going all dressed up in the middle of the day. Chloe wonders if he still has feelings for Belle but he insists it's over. She wishes that she knew something about Brady. "I know something," Philip tells her. They sit down and he informs her that he knows what she said to Brady before he vanished."Something about 'I could just kill you.' Did you kill Brady?" he interrogates. They order something to eat and then he asks again. After hearing her slip up, he has to wonder whether he trusts her. She rolls her eyes and tells him that people drive each other to say crazy things that can be misunderstood out of context. Philip smiles. He's sure she's got plenty of secrets, but he still believes her. She's angry that he spied on her but, "I have an eye on you too," she says. They turn back to Brady and he asks her if they'll pick up fighting again or, "will it be hugs and kisses?" She tells him that she won't be coming to him for comfort; he's still in love with Belle. Philip repeats that he's moving on and she should move on...maybe with him. "Don't hold your breath," she says. They flirt and Philip threatens to spank her, reminding her that he's the boss. If she makes anymore phone calls, no matter the language they're in, he'll find out what they're about. "Go to Hell!" she shouts, running off. "I'm going to sit right here and watch as your life implodes," he says to himself, gritting his teeth. She returns and tells him to stop flirting and spying. Before she can stomp away again, he promises to back off but she needs to be honest with him. "I'm the only friend you have left in this world," he reminds her before leaving. "You wouldn't be my friend if you knew what really happened," she says to herself.

Shawn takes Belle out to the park. He's been thinking. "Is that a good thing or a bad thing?" she asks. He's realized what's important and thinks their love can survive all obstacles. He wants to give them a new beginning. They hug and sigh about how good it feels. "We need to start afresh," he says. She doesn't understand. He gets on one knee and asks her to marry him again. That sounds wonderful to her. They take off their rings and slip them back on, making their vows once again with tears in their eyes. Everything feels new and fresh, he says. She just wants Claire to look up to them like they look up to their parents. "She will," he says, telling her stories of sailing the world with his parents. Belle gets inspired and suggests that they set sail. He's excited by the prospect. As soon as Bo is better they can sail off into the sunset.

Blood Money

At the mansion, John tells Marlena he just found out that a full time cook lives behind the kitchen who scared the hell out of him this morning! He tells Marlena he wants her help with Stefano's finances but she refuses to help him with Stefano's blood money. Belle and Claire stop by unexpectedly, much to John's chagrin. "Hi Pop Pop," says Claire, with a grin. John unenthusiastically lets the two in and shows Claire his desk where he needs help with paperwork. He tells her to write everything down she remembers. John is okay with Claire's visit but when Belle says she missed him and wanted to see him, John becomes cold and tells her what she's saying would make a nice greeting card. Belle is hurt but Marlena reminds her that John isn't himself. Claire holds up a disc and asks John what it is!

Back at the mansion, John tells Claire that the disc she found is probably blank since it's not labeled. He tosses it aside and the doorbell rings and Stefano's lawyer, Richard Griffin arrives with estate news. Stefano had various lawyers he says but what he knows he'll need John's family to hear. John asks for Marlena to stay and calls EJ. EJ agrees to come and invites Sami to join him. He makes a call to Tony, who is just leaving long term care. Tony agrees to meet at the mansion and Anna invites herself!

Tony, Anna, EJ and Sami arrive at the mansion. John mentions that Lexi's busy at the hospital so Mr. Griffin discusses Stefano being incapacitated and Tony says the world would make a better place without his father in it. This makes John smirk and Mr. Griffin says Lexi, Tony and EJ were all cut out of Stefano's will but he added a provision for his grandson Giovanni that is in trust until he's 21. Sami is disgusted and EJ is surprised to find that the other trust funds were cancelled as Stefano promised to reinstate them. Mr. Griffin says Stefano lied! They are told that John gets 10s of millions of dollars. Anna's ears perk up when she hears this and John says, "There's my new jet!" Marlena is shocked that he'd consider keeping it and he retorts that she's working on the wrong side of the couch. She says she's disappointed in him. "Lower your expectations," he says, drolly. Tony and Anna leave and John says to EJ he's sure the old man would have cut EJ out at some point anyway, as soon as he upset him. EJ knows why he was cut out and tells John it was for admitting to Marlena where she could find John. "I guess you'll thank me for that later," EJ says and he and Sami leave. Claire and Belle leave right behind them and Marlena says the man she knew never would have taken Stefano's money. She wants to get the real John back but John says he likes himself. He invites her to a steak dinner but she says, "Let me think. No!" She leaves and John lights up a cigar.

Failing Pancreas

Bradys gather at the Brady pub for an Irish wake to celebrate Shawn Sr.'s life. Nick and Maggie agree this is the type of wake that Grandpa Shawn would have wanted but Chelsea's feeling down in the dumps and Lexi feels uncomfortable. Steve tries to perk up Kayla by reminding her it is a time to celebrate her dad. EJ complains about his discomfort to Sami but she tells him he's a DiMera and he should tough it out. EJ turns from her, exasperated. Hope notices how pale Bo is and asks Steve to stay close in case they need him. Outside the pub, Ava watches. Caroline wishes Pop was there and Roman says Pop would have wanted this wake. He gives Caroline a hug.

Kayla says a toast for Pop about how tender, outgoing, loving and wonderful he was. She also calls him fiery and obstinate too. Nobody could give a better Irish toast than her pop. She and Roman hold up their glasses and each Brady says a line of an Irish poem. (No idea what this poem is. If you know it, feel free to send it to us!) Caroline thanks Kimberly for the lovely speech and says her father will always be with her. Kimberly is upset that she didn't get to say goodbye to him but Caroline points out that she just did! Kimberly hugs Caroline and Kayla. Nearby, Bo still feels guilty for Pop's death but Hope reminds him that his dad died a hero. Bo starts to cough and Hope calls Steve to come quickly. They want to get him to the hospital. Kimberly tells Bo she is supposed to leave on a flight to Los Angeles today but she'll stay for him. Bo doesn’t want her to. He tells her to come around more often though and starts for the door while Marlena and Victor watch with worried expressions.
