I'm Shaking in my Boots!

Anna brings John to the hospital. He has had a seizure and convulsions, she explains as Kayla examines him. He's not an easy patient. Anna gives a call to Marlena and asks her to come to the trauma center. Marlena rushes over and Anna explains what happened. He's currently getting a brain scan. Marlena runs to John, and meanwhile, Kayla looks at John's x-rays and says, "Oh my God!" She wonders how this is possible.

Marlena visits John, who explains what happened and that he doesn't remember much. He's glad she's there and sees it as a sign that she doesn't despise him. Marlena tells him she could never despise him and when he asks about them, she has to go see a patient, and rushes off. He looks vulnerable, as she leaves.

Marlena winds up in Kayla's office and Kayla shows her the x-ray. Marlena is told that the mid-brain region is clouded over, completely. Neither have seen this before and Kayla decides to run more tests.

Marlena arrives at the DiMera mansion. She asks about the disc containing John's memories. Stefano denies any knowledge of it and thinks she was hallucinating it. She tells him about John's seizure and says he needs help. "Don't we all," comments Stefano. She tells him to help his brother. Stefano says John's his half-brother. Marlena rants that all he likes to do is inflict pain and Stefano says they're a lot alike. She asks for Stefano to restore John's memory. If they don’t she's afraid he'll die. She reminds him he's a father and grandfather and has compassion. He agrees, when it comes to his heirs. She asks him to think about John's legacy but he says John's fate was sealed years ago and neither of them can do anything about it. Marlena angrily leaves the mansion and Rolf arrives and tells Stefano that he accessed University Hospital records and knows John will need to be reprogrammed as his pawn, at the precise moment. Stefano doesn't think they need him anymore. Stefano wants to find someone new to play with and to retire John.

Marlena looks at John's x-rays back at the hospital and vows to help him.

What happened to the Cat in the Hat?

Inside the pub, Lexi and Hope have tea and discuss how happy Lexi is to have quit her job as Chief of Staff. She can now attend therapy sessions with Theo. Talk turns to Abe and Hope thinks what he did was noble, standing up to the Mayor. Hope thinks Abe can get more money working head of security somewhere. She wishes Abe could have stayed and helped her put Stefano away. Lexi says Abe is still planning on doing that but not with the police behind him.

Nearby, Anna joins Marlena for breakfast. She asks Pete for a coffee, intravenously! They catch up and Marlena admits she hasn't seen John lately. Marlena admits John has had some strange behavior lately - even more than usual. Anna has noticed this, especially in the past few weeks. Marlena thinks he's heading off the deep end and finds John erratic. He's been having terrible headaches. Anna thinks it's no wonder, considering, but Marlena worries about his anger. She tells Anna how he hit Trent and says she's still planning on divorcing him. She figures the new John is permanent and won't be able to love her the way she needs. She deserves better than a roll in the hay! Anna says it makes sense but asks if Marlena's out of her mind! Marlena shares children and memories with John. She shouldn't give up. Marlena reminds her that John's a different person, but Anna wants her to give John another chance. "Whatever happened to 'stand by your man'," she asks, "Or is that just a country song?" Marlena is lonely for John but he's not the same man. She can't risk investing in John. Anna is hurt for John. Marlena is flustered and starts to get up to leave but Anna apologizes. She's anxious for them to get back on track. They were the perfect couple once and it breaks her heart that they're not together. Marlena doesn't respect John, she admits. His regard for her changes, daily and he can't socialize normally. Anna starts to see things Marlena's way. Marlena is thankful for Anna's understanding and she says she has to start taking care of herself. She has a patient, so the pair hug and Marlena takes off. Anna makes a call to John after, and tells him it's time they had a long talk.

Ducks In a Row!

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!

In another part of the mansion, Sami and Marlena bond over her confession. She says John was right, she feels better! She apologizes to Sami for being so hard on her at the police station, but encourages her to think more with her head rather than with her emotions. Sami agrees and they embrace!

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!

Glutton For Punishment!

Marlena arrives at the hospital and Kayla and Hope ask her to join them for their ladies' night. She agrees and Kayla takes off to get ready. Hope tells Marlena they are doing everything they can to get to the bottom of what Stefano did to her. Marlena tells Hope that Stefano did it to get back at her for what she did to him! Hope asks her to explain. Marlena admits that she injected him with a cocktail of drugs - to get back at him for all the things he'd done to John and her family! Kayla comes back and Marlena tells Hope she knows she is putting her in a bad position telling her this, but she had to protect her family, and she'd do it all over again. Hope points out to Marlena that Stefano's not through with her yet. They all agree that this time they'll be ready for him.
