Love comes from the heart

Hope, Julie, Doug, Marlena and John sit down at the pub with tea and read the last of the letters. Flashback to Santo entering the Irish church and asking Father Mallory to help find Colleen Brady. Father Mallory says Colleen should be by shortly and goes off while Colleen shows up. She tells Santo that her heart belongs to the church and him, and she'll marry him. Santo jumps for joy! Hope stops reading and says Colleen left the church a long time ago! John wonders what went wrong, if Colleen agreed to marry Santo. Julie suggests they read on so Marlena takes the letter and reads Santo's words, "Your love is my miracle, my faith and my religion. We will live every day reliving our true destiny as husband and wife." Colleen is praying when her father and Shawn enter the church, along with Father Mallory. Santo arrives at the church and Colleen is ready to tell them but Santo enters the church and distracts her. She goes to him and asks him to let her do this on her own. Santo gives her a huge diamond ring and tells her to take it as a sign of their love. Hope takes over reading, "Love comes from the heart, not from something someone wears on their hand." Colleen says. She closes the ring box and promises they'll marry as soon as they can. Santo is thrilled and gives her the ring. She puts it in her pocket as Pete and Shawn arrive by Santo's side. Santo tells them all he's just leaving. Once he is gone, Colleen tells her father she is leaving the church to marry Santo. Pete is shocked and confused and Shawn is hurt and frightened by the news. Colleen tells them that she hasn't lost her love for the church, but Pete doesn't know what to believe. Father Mallory tries to change her mind while Shawn watches in pain. Hope stops reading.

Marlena says Colleen was a true Brady. "Colleen stood her ground." Julie cries out that poor Shawn was caught in the middle. Hope reads that Colleen ended it the only way she knew how. She pauses and looks at everyone. Flashback to Colleen hugging Shawn while Pete tells Shawn that Colleen is no sister to him and no daughter to himself. Colleen cries and tells a sobbing Shawn he is as sweet and dear to her as the day he was born. Colleen tells her father she found the truth and she knows she belongs with the man she loves. She gives Father Mallory the ring and figures he can sell it and give the money to the homeless. She says she'll never forget the lessons she has learned. Hope stops reading and they all agree they need to put a stop to the vendetta.

Action at The Brady Pub

Sami and EJ sit by the window in Santo's room and watch as Colleen tells Santo she needs both he and the church to live. Santo tells her that if she doesn't decide tonight, they're through. He says it's destroying him. Colleen tells him she won't allow him to rush her into a decision, and walks away. Santo warns that if she leaves, he will never see her again. Colleen says that's just like him to force her into a decision right now. Sami turns to EJ and says he's a lot like Santo. EJ asks where this leave them, considering she is a lot like Colleen! Sami asks him to stop drawing comparisons between them. Santo tells Colleen he's tired of waiting. He loves her and wants her, but Colleen asks for one more day. EJ and Sami stay riveted to their seats while Santo tells Colleen that many men would have grown tired of waiting by now. He tells her she confuses love with waiting and this upsets Colleen, who thinks he is here to rescue her. "I don't need a savior, Santo. I already have one." She yells. She says he'll have an answer tomorrow. Back at Sami's bedside, EJ yells, "She has to choose him! He'll go out of his mind,.." Sami asks if maybe Santo killed Colleen, but EJ says that Santo couldn't have killed her. "I know because he could not kill her more than I could ever kill you." Sami yells that she hates how he twists things and tells him she only wants Lucas. Annoyed, she says Santo infected Stefano, Andre and EJ, but EJ denies being infected any longer.

A terrible beauty is born!

Flashback to Santo and Colleen basking in the aftermath of their lovemaking. She admits her love to Santo while Sami and EJ watch from the window. Santo tells Colleen that love has many faces but true love - their love, is inevitable. "Inevitable." Colleen gasps when Santo kneels in front of the bed and asks, "Colleen Brady, will you marry me?" EJ smiles and Sami looks on, jaw dropped! Colleen cries, "Santo, sorry. I can't." She says she promised God she'd say no to earthly desires. Santo tries to talk her out of her beliefs and she promises, "You'll have your answer soon." EJ turns to Sami and says, "The poem is Yates! A terrible beauty is born…" He tells Sami that Colleen resisted her fate and a terrible beauty was born. Sami sighs. Sami skips ahead four letters and reads that Santo demands that Colleen make her decision - tonight!!

It's as if the two of them live inside our souls...

Sami and EJ are in her hospital bed arguing about Santo and Colleen. Sami is angry that Santo used Mrs. Fitzpatrick to get to Colleen. EJ counters that Colleen could have come clean to the priest, but she didn't. He continues to read the letter. Colleen wrote that she knew it was wrong for her to have come to him that night. She cursed the power Santo had over her and started back to the church when Santo opened his door. In the flashback, Santo gazes at a drenched Colleen. EJ tells Sami this just proves that Colleen came on her own. Sami finds this hard to believe and takes the letter. She reads that Colleen felt she would burn in hell for all eternity for her transgression. In the flashback, Colleen tells Santo that doing God's work is her calling. "Or so I thought…" she says. Santo understands and says he thought his was to his family and wife (who was chosen for him). He thought wrong, he says and thinks they need to live with their heart more. Sami stops reading and says she knows how Colleen feels, because of the vendetta. She feels it's her duty to end it. EJ says he too understands how Santo was feeling. He says, "It's as if the two of them live inside our souls!"

In the flashback, Santo tells Colleen that he once thought love was for fools, until he met her. Colleen shivers and Santo urges her to get into dry clothes. Colleen tells Santo the cold isn't what's making her shiver. The two sit by the fire and Santo dries her hair. He tells her that they can stop when she wants. Sami stops reading again and EJ and Sami stare at one another, wordlessly. Sami asks EJ to stop comparing Santo and Colleen's story to them. EJ gives her his word and she rolls her eyes, not thinking it's worth much! She reads more. We see Santo and Colleen kissing passionately by the fire. Sami reads that Colleen always thought sex was for procreation. After making love with Santo, she later wondered how it could have possibly been a sin! Santo and Colleen continue their lovemaking. Sami reads that Colleen was happier and more at peace than ever before.

In the flashback, Santo tells Colleen there is no going back now. Colleen tells him that the church is her home, but Santo wants her with him - forever! Sami gets worked up over this and wonders why Santo can't just leave Colleen alone. The nurse arrives and gives Sami her last sedative. Once gone, Sami tells EJ that Colleen was confused, but EJ disagrees. He tells her that he thinks she's not prepared to admit there is a connection between them. Sami is angry but he tells her that he loves everything about her - and refuses to give up on her. In the flashback, Santo and Colleen dress after they make love and Colleen begs him not to let it any more difficult than it already is. EJ demands that Sami admits that she too is conflicted about him. She refuses, but he doesn't believe her. Sami starts to get groggy, from the sedative and EJ tells her they're perfect for each other. She starts to drift off while he talks and he takes this opportunity to find out the truth!! He asks her, "Look into my eyes and tell me you don't want to do this every time we're together." He kisses her, and she kisses back, and we see Santo and Colleen kiss. A crying Colleen leaves Santo for the night, and Sami comes to her senses and stops kissing EJ. In her anger, she throws him out of the room and hurls a vase of flowers after him!

The novice tells a lie!

Sami seethes as EJ makes himself comfortable in her hospital bed, asking to read the letters. EJ states that the relationship between Santo and Colleen is similar to their own relationship, but Sami denies that. "I'm a happily married woman," she says, "And Colleen was a nun." EJ lets this go and starts reading a letter, in an Italian accent. "My dear colleen, as I held you in my arms, time stood still…" He reads on that Santo felt that he and Colleen's honorable instincts were taken over by passion. He tells Colleen that everything that mattered disappeared when Sister Mary Anne interrupted them. Santo says he knew what he had to do. We see Santo standing in his window, sadly holding Colleen's scarf. He leaves his room, and EJ turns to Sami and says that Colleen wasn't as innocent as her robes suggest! Sami is upset by his words, "How dare you?!!" she counters. EJ thinks Colleen was trapped in the church, just as Sami is trapped in her marriage. He asks to see the old Samantha, who had a lust for life. Sami reminds him that this story isn't about them, but about the vendetta. EJ hands her the letters and Sami reads Colleen's words. Colleen says she knew the power of simple temptation and tried to run away from her feelings when she ran off that night she and Santo were interrupted by Sister Mary Anne.

Flashback to the Irish church. Colleen is quiet as Sister Mary Anne admits that when in Mr. DiMera's room, she saw ten toes poking out from beneath the drapes, and Colleen's scarf on the bed! Father Mallory is flabbergasted and asks if Colleen needs to confess, but Colleen remains silent, and looks troubled. She finally speaks, "I was not with Mr. DiMera this evening," she lies. Sister Mary Anne asks to see the scarf, and when Colleen can't produce it, Sister Mary Anne accuses her of lying. Santo drops by the church with his donation for the church, and an apology to Sister Mary Anne.

In the flashback, Santo introduces Mrs. Fitzpatrick to Colleen, Sister Mary Anne and Father Mallory. Santo lies when he tells them he and a widowed Mrs. Fitzpatrick were consoling themselves in his room for both of their losses. He says he didn't want to sully Mrs. Fitzpatrick's reputation, so didn't mention it when the sister was in his room! Sister Mary Anne apologizes to Colleen for her accusation, and runs off. Father Mallory and Mrs. Fitzpatrick go off to talk and Santo is left with Colleen. Colleen says she is not fit for the church. She has never lied before; she says and asks Santo to leave her alone.
