Christmastime in Salem

Marlena goes to get John's dry cleaning from the cleaners. She realizes that nobody is there, since it's Christmas Eve and starts to walk away, but a woman (Crystal) walks up behind her and says she knows why she has come. She asks if Marlena believes in psychics but Marlena says she has a friend (Celeste) who is a psychic but doesn't believe you can contact the dead. Crystal says, "I can bring him to you." Marlena thinks Crystal ought to be ashamed of herself and turns to walk away, but Crystal says she sees a man in a forest reading a plaque with his name on it. "John?" Marlena asks. "His name was Forrest for a while." Crystal says, "Black?" Startled, Marlena asks, "What?" Crystal continues, "I see a black robe. Is he a priest?" Marlena says he was at one time but he's now dead. Crystal says, "He's not dead. He is very much alive." Marlena wants to know what she means and Crystal asks if she always believes what she sees. She says John is still out there and they'll be together again. We hear Steve call to Marlena before we see him and Steve finds Marlena almost in tears. She tells Steve she was picking up dry cleaning and met this woman. She turns and notices Crystal has disappeared and with a smile she says the woman has given her hope. It starts to snow and Steve tells her the first Christmas is the hardest. He's been thinking of Benjy and John and Marlena says John is always with her. She holds a hand to her heart and smiles.
