You cover up your fear with your cruelty

Shawn and the family comes down the stairs and Shawn cries that he can't believe she's gone. Philip and Chloe give their condolences and Philip tells Belle that Claire is getting some ice cream from Crystal and he has to get a message to Kayla. Chloe elects to go get Claire while Belle asks Shawn if they're back together. Shawn thinks it could work. He's no longer angry with her for what she did and says he and Philip have made their peace. He's willing to try to give it a go he says, while he takes her hand in his.

Philip offers the family his help if they need. Shawn cries over his loss and Philip quietly tells Kayla that Lexi called. Kayla calls Lexi and tells her that the family has been in shock since Colleen passed away suddenly. Lexi is saddened and gives her condolences but explains she has more bad news. She thinks things with Bo could be worse than they thought. Hope needs to know now. Kayla agrees and Lexi say she has more news. "Remember you had all that blood work done to check your hormones?" Kayla does and worries but Lexi has good news. "You're pregnant!" A surprised Kayla grins happily!

I'm dying...

Belle, Claire, Shawn, Bo, Hope and Marlena return to the Aubin pub and Marlena tells the family that John almost killed Colleen. She tells them the story Colleen told them and Belle is shocked that Colleen is John's mother and her grandmother. Marlena's afraid that John's a walking time bomb. Bo grabs Steve and Philip and the men go out to find John while Hope stays behind to help protect the family. Marlena says that they can do a blood test to confirm Colleen's words and Belle is incredulous. She goes upstairs to be with her grandma. Marlena worries that once the men find John, he'll resist with everything he's got. The ladies wonder how Brady fits into this. Chloe goes off to make tea for all and Hope jumps up to go see Shawn but finds herself dizzy. She passes it off as lack of food and goes to see Shawn to tell him the news. Kayla watches her walk away, with interest.

Belle visits Colleen and tells her she just got word that they're related. Colleen is in good spirits. Belle is emotional as she tells her she can't believe she's her grandmother. Colleen tells her it means a lot to be with her, since she's been watching over her for so long. Belle asks if she's coming home with them but her home is in Ireland. Belle says she barely knows her but she'll miss her. Colleen has a present for her. She gives her the symbol of the Celtic Woman Warrior which she calls a symbol for never giving up. She wants her to pass it on to her child someday. Belle gives her a hug and the tears flow freely.

A knock on the door brings Shawn and Hope and Belle leave with Claire. Shawn is sorry for all the time they lost but says he could never hate her. Belle wants her to return to Salem with them but Colleen isn't going anywhere. She says she's glad he's with her for the end. "I'm dying," she tells her brother. Shawn is upset and wonders how they can help but Colleen just wants her family one last time.

High bilirubin and low alkaline phosphatase?

Shawn puts Claire to bed and thanks God for her return. He flashes back to her abduction and to visiting Belle in the hospital. Belle arrives and Shawn flashes back to sitting downstairs at the pub with her and telling her he wants to focus on family and Colleen for now and not get into their issues. Shawn admits to Belle that he thinks something's off about Steve and Kayla's visit. Belle thinks he needs to take a breather from his concern for Claire and thinks Kayla and Steve showed up to bring grandpa Shawn.

Why in the name of God are you doing this?

Shawn and Belle sit at the Aubin pub with Claire and fawn over how happy they are to see her. Belle wants to discuss the future but agrees now may not be the time. Kayla and Steve arrive with Shawn Sr., who is using a cane to get around. He's thrilled to see Claire and gives her a big kiss. Steve tells him they've a big surprise for him but he has to rest first. Shawn goes up to a room while Steve tells Kayla that Shawn is looking frail. He's worried about his reaction to seeing his sister. They blame Stefano.

Shawn, Belle and Claire leave the Aubin pub and bump into Philip and Chloe. Philip asks after Claire and Belle admits that Crystal surprisingly took good care of Claire. Chloe and Philip are relieved. Belle wonders if Colleen knows anything about Brady but Chloe doubts it. Chloe and Philip don't want to get in the way when Shawn Sr. sees Colleen, so they let Shawn and Belle know they won't be around but would like to have a late dinner with them. Shawn and Belle don't commit themselves to it and appear disinterested. They head out for a walk with Claire, and when they're gone, Chloe comments, "That didn't go well!"

For all the days of his life

At the Aubin B&B in New Ross, Ireland, Colleen tells everyone, "It is I, in the flesh as any fool can see!" Hope and Shawn don't think it's possible but Colleen says the wrinkles have changed her. She is proud to know that Samantha is the spitting image of her when she was young! Marlena tells her they've read the letters to Santo and Colleen reminisces about them. She longed for Santo's strong arms around her but had to settle for his words. While his love held him to her, it also tore him from her at the same time. She says what she did was a disgrace to the church, God and her family and that's why she left her habit on the cliff and ran and hid. She did it in order for Santo to go back to his wife and son, after he lied to her and dashed any hope for a future. She says she heard Santo never smiled since then and Stefano bore the brunt of his pain. "For all the days of his life," she finishes. She says she never loved again. Marlena tells Colleen that Stefano hated her for his father's heartbreak. Colleen knows and says she didn't want to be found out so she moved to another part of Ireland, changed her name and took work as a seamstress, then moved to South America and became a clothing designer. With the money she made, she hired help and grew an empire. With the money she made, she searched for relatives and found them in Salem. After finding out what Stefano had done to them she took some responsibility and tried to help. Marlena doesn't blame her. Bo calls Stefano evil and Colleen agrees. She asks for their forgiveness for taking Claire and calls to Crystal, who brings Claire to them. Everyone hugs and kisses Claire and tells her how much they missed her and Colleen smiles as she watches. Unnoticed, John takes out the knife he stole earlier and stares Colleen down. Marlena reminds John that Claire is his granddaughter and asks him to go to her. He does so and Bo berates Colleen for kidnapping Claire but Colleen says she had to protect her and felt the same about Brady Black. Chloe's eyes grow wide and suddenly everyone is quiet. Chloe yells at Colleen to tell her where Brady is but Colleen doesn't know. She wonders if Chloe does, but Chloe denies it and runs off crying. Colleen says they can only pray that no evil befell him, and she sits down to rest. Marlena tells John that Brady's his son but he is disinterested. Outside the room, Chloe sobs for Brady and when Phil tries to comfort her, she pushes him away.

Yes, I'm Colleen Brady!

Belle, Shawn, Philip and Chloe arrive at the Aubin Bed and Breakfast in New Ross, looking for Crystal. The men admit everyone's looking for Crystal but they don't know her. When Crystal makes an appearance, Belle yells for her to give Claire back. Crystal says Claire's safe. When she's accused of working with Stefano, Crystal spits out that she hates Stefano DiMera!

Upstairs at the B&B, Bo and Hope search the rooms. Meanwhile, John and Marlena find an older woman knitting. "It's impossible," says Marlena, in shock. "You're supposed to be dead." The woman tells her, "Clearly, my dear… I'm not!" Marlena is shocked at the resemblance… the woman tells her she'll explain and with an Irish brogue, she says "It is I. I'm still alive, though some people wish I wasn't." Hope and Bo barge through the door and Bo asks who the woman is but Hope already knows… Bo realizes he knows her but says, "No, it's not possible!" Bo isn't happy to see John out of the hospital but Marlena explains John had to follow his mission, and since he hasn't been charged with anything, it's not a federal crime. Hope tells the woman they're there to find their granddaughter. The woman says she was about to tell them everything.

At the New Ross Aubin Bed and Breakfast, the old woman tells Bo, Hope, John and Marlena that she and Stefano have been playing a game of cat and mouse for a year. She has amassed a tidy sum over the years so hired people to go to Salem and keep track of Stefano. She admits she was behind Claire's kidnapping. Just then, Belle, Shawn, Philip, Chloe and Crystal barge into the room. Belle demands to see her daughter. Chloe wonders to Philip if she knows anything about Brady. Bo asks if the woman can prove who she is. John thinks she's who they think she is and points out Stefano has been searching for her. The woman assures them all Claire's safe and she'd never harm a Brady. She tells them what they've been waiting to hear, "Yes, I'm Colleen Brady!"
