Truth or Dare

A more coherent Roman and battered Lucas enter Stefano's hospital room and find out that Stefano's being prepped for surgery. When they find out there is another donor, Roman quickly surmises that the donor may be Benjy. Lucas heads back to the gym to find Sami.

Back at the hospital, Stefano keeps telling Santo to go away. Santo tells Stefano that his work here is not yet done. He fades away as Rolf wonders what's in the medication to make Stefano talk to himself. Stefano starts to laugh maniacally and tells Rolf that the phoenix will never die.

Bo arrives at the hospital and finds Stefano being wheeled to surgery. He grabs the donor cooler and demands to know where the donor liver came from. Rolf lies that it came from a distant Italian relative. Bo grabs Rolf and says that he knows it's from Benjy. Steve arrives at the hospital, grabs the cooler and starts yelling. "There is no way I'm letting that bastard get this!"

Loose Cannon

EJ lies in a hospital bed, awaiting surgery. He mumbles that he's either crazy or stupid for agreeing to it. Stefano and Rolf enter his room and Stefano says he rejoiced when he found out that EJ was a match. Stefano professes is love and gratitude to his son and when he notices EJ's concern , he asks if EJ has doubt. EJ doesn't open up and Stefano tells him he won't hold it against him if he is doubtful. EJ finally admits that once upon a time he wanted to be just like him, but since then he has seen how many people he has hurt. "So I must pay for my sins, eh?" Stefano asks. "Please, try to understand." EJ begs, but Stefano doesn't understand and asks him not to be a hypocrite. EJ is confused until Stefano reminds him that he almost killed Lucas a few days ago! EJ confesses he did it for the love of a woman, but his father says he's still a DiMera! Stefano barks at Rolf that it's over. "We are not having a surgery!" Rolf wheels him to the door until EJ stops him, saying that they're more alike than he cares to admit, but he wants to be a better person; he says and wants to be capable of true love and friendship. Stefano thinks it's better to be feared than respected. He says friends let you down and love gets in your way. He mentions Tony's pathetic infatuation for Anna and all other women and says it has turned him into an idiot. He asks EJ if he wants to be a man, or not. EJ says he loves Stefano. He changes his mind and agrees to the surgery. Rolf barks, "Good!" and gets Stefano back to his room.

Bo greets Stefano and Rolf in the hallway and tells them that EJ was arrested. Stefano is confused and Rolf is angered. Bo tells him that he can end the vendetta - hand over Andre, or cash in his chips!

It's not over yet! The phoenix rises again!

Stefano is visited by Lexi, Tony and EJ. Lexi tells her father that she refuses to be tested and Stefano asks if she wants him to die. Lexi says, "I wish I didn't, but yes… I do. When you die there will be one less piece of evil in this world." Lexi leaves the room and EJ apologizes because he needs a moment to think about becoming a donor. Tony closes the door behind him. "And then there were none," he says. "Would you care to be buried here or in the family crypt in Tuscany?" Tony asks, lightly!

Inside Stefano's room, Rolf says there will be no more talk of funerals. In walks EJ and says if he is a match, he'll do the surgery. Tony wishes them luck and leaves. After EJ and Rolf leave, Stefano starts to laugh maniacally and says, "It's not over yet! The phoenix rises again!"

A dying wish

Stefano lies awake in a hospital bed while Rolf looks after him.

Outside Stefano's room, EJ finds Tony pacing. EJ demands that they find Stefano a liver. "We'll scour the streets of Hong Kong." EJ says, but Tony says it's too late. EJ vents that Stefano's going out without a whimper. Tony counters, "Do you want him to go out in a blaze of bullets like Al Pacino?" Rolf comes out of Stefano's room and tells the two men that Stefano's soon to pass on. He recommends they say their goodbyes.

EJ enters Stefano's hospital room and holds his father's hand. Stefano starts to discuss finances with EJ but EJ stops him and thanks him for the many opportunities he has given him. They reminisce about stories that Santo told Stefano, and then EJ frowns. He has disappointed Stefano. Stefano reassures EJ that he can't fault him for simply falling in love. He says for Santo, love burned his heart. "I knew that he was playing with fire,… I knew…. I knew…" he finishes, with tears in his eyes. He thinks love was Santo's fate and that's why he swore never to be like his father, but to make his family his priority. EJ urges Stefano to make peace with the Bradys, but Stefano says it's too late. He can do nothing for them as he doesn't know where Andre is.

EJ leaves Stefano's hospital room, morose. He asks Tony how he is to let go of his father. Rolf tells the men that if they can secure a single lobe from a healthy compatible liver, Stefano could survive - providing he did well with the surgery. He says that Stefano will still need the stem cells, but surgery will buy them time. EJ goes off to rally the rest of the DiMera children to see who is a match for Stefano.
